If you like the Lakers, you go to the Lakers' home court to watch a game, and if you hate the Lakers, you go to the Lakers' home court to watch a game, both of which can make the original love and hate deeper.

Every time he comes to the Staples Center, Liu Mang feels this way.

Lakers fans are so annoying! Completely ruined by the Lakers, an all-time powerhouse that may not even be comparable to the Celtics!

Sometimes the away fans are too unenthusiastic and it can be uncomfortable for the away players.

Because the feeling of Lakers fans is almost exactly as annoying as the feeling they give to their team!

The Lakers players are all proud, their glorious history and the fact that they now have a beep of the Big Four are things they are proud of, and their fans are proud of them.

Like the Lakers, except for the 60s when they were ruled by the Celtics, and in the 90s when they were ruled by the Bulls and Rockets and did not win the championship, they have won championships in all other decades, and even created a dynasty, and all fans have a feeling of "aristocratic team".

It's normal for so many people to hate the Lakers and the Lakers fans, because they're arrogant, and you can't refute their pride, which feels terrible.

So, the Eagles are extra motivated for today's game!

Today's game is another national live broadcast, and the Hawks play the Lakers for the first time this season.

Although the Timberwolves are now ranked first in the West, the Lakers are also only two wins away from the Timberwolves, and not only Lakers fans, but almost all NBA fans believe that the Lakers are still the best team in the West, even the strongest in the league.

The East's strongest Hawks are visiting the Staples Center, and there is no doubt that it is a major event for basketball fans across the United States and even around the world!

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the All-Star Weekend, when Liu Mang entered the court, there was still sparse applause.

However, most of the fans looked lazy and lazy, and some even licked the jam on the doughnuts.

Just like the Lakers players, O'Neal is breaking with his teammates, and although the fat man is fat, he is flexible.

Liu Mang counted the players of the Lakers, and suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, a blacksmith has not yet come!

It's all at this point, there are more than 10 minutes left to start the game, and that guy hasn't come yet, that is, he may have been called by the Coloran court!

Just when Liu Mang secretly called Ya Yan, the fans at the scene finally reacted and let out bursts of cheers, Liu Mang subconsciously looked at the home team's player tunnel, and a physiotherapist was chasing a caliper-headed blacksmith with a hairline that was obviously getting higher and higher!

Kobe Bryant felt Liu Mang's eyes, glanced at Liu Mang lightly, and then lay on the bench, and the physiotherapist quickly gave Kobe a stretching activity.

"Ding...... Special Status: Triggered by Rush Moment, from Kobe Bryant. ”

"Ding...... Kobe Bryant (Rush moment), Ability Rating 98, Offense 95, Defense 97, Three-point 81, Shooting 98, Layup 97, Speed 91, Power 85, Talent Skill: Mamba Devouring Level 4. ”

"Ding...... Kobe Bryant's strong hostility triggers, every time the host encounters Kobe Bryant in a match, Kobe Bryant will prevent the host from killing and blowing up the host as the first purpose. ”

"In the face of the strongest team in NBA history, the road to becoming a superstar in the NBA era has officially begun. Mission Reward: Unknown, Failure Penalty: Unknown. ”

“……”

“……”

Liu Mang looked at the tasks triggered in the system list, as well as the strongest team in the new century, the enemy of the Black Mamba, and the road of the Black Mamba's counter-battle......

Liu Mang found that most of the tasks this season are related to the Lakers! Even the main tasks of the past few years at the beginning of the century are related to the Lakers.

That's enough!

However, it also reflects from the side that the original Pistons defeated the Lakers in the Finals, what a great achievement!

Liu Mang couldn't help but scratch his head when he thought of this, it seemed that he had snatched Prince and Rashid Wallace away, and the Pistons collapsed before the Five Tigers era, and this task fell to him?

Heavenly!

……

Finally, the pre-game preparation time was over, and on the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant didn't make much perfect warm-up preparations, so he went on the court.

The Lakers sent a super starting lineup of Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Malone, and O'Neal.

On the Hawks' side, it's really bleak in comparison, although Raheem, Latliff, and Rasheed Wallace have all been selected as All-Stars, but compared to the Lakers, it's the gap between rural teams and urban teams, the Lakers are all armed to the teeth, and the Hawks are just a patchwork combination lineup.

The Eagles continued to field a starting combination of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rashid Wallace and Ratliff.

Liu Mang and Boozer hugged and then went on the field, and the game officially began!

O'Neal's victory in the jump ball with Rasheed Wallace, such a huge body and so able to jump, makes people curious to understand how the fat man's body structure is combined.

Liu Mang continued to stick to his old opponent - Payton, and the difficult task of defending Kobe Bryant was of course handed over to Prince.

After Payton advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Liu Mang defending and wanted to make a wave of Liu Mang, but he was indeed a little powerless, and immediately passed it to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant singled Prince, Prince defended very well, and Kobe Bryant came up and hit a shot angrily, kicking off the game.

From the beginning of Kobe Bryant's mid-distance singles with the ball, there was already a mess under the basket, Ratliff and Raheem fought hand-to-hand with O'Neal, Rasheed Wallace and Malone fought hand-to-hand, and the Hawks fought evenly with three to two, Liu Mang immediately rushed in when he saw Kobe Bryant's shot and picked up a triple-double king rebound.

The offense and defense switched, the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Kobe Bryant posted it as soon as possible.

The Lakers' defense is really strong! Much stronger than the previous two seasons! Completely make use of this season's loose whistle, the muscle collision of Malone and O'Neal, although Fox and Payton are very old, they can't defend themselves this year, but their little tricks of off-ball defense are really powerful, and the prediction of defensive experience is strong, so that Liu Mang has no chance to connect with his teammates!

The teammates' off-ball running is really not very good, and if Liu Mang's side doesn't create a bag, his teammates really don't have a chance to get an empty space.

"Hi Kobe, long time no see." Liu Mang waited for his teammates to run outside the three-point line, observing his teammates while 'chatting' with Kobe.

"We just met the day before yesterday." Kobe Bryant really answered.

"Oh, Kobe, I haven't seen you for a day, it's like three winters." Liu Mang said and suddenly accelerated to the right.

But Kobe Bryant didn't hit the plan at all, and blocked Liu Mang's breakthrough route for the first time, Liu Mang immediately retreated, Kobe Bryant immediately followed and pressed in front of Liu Mang for the first time, the mad dog-like defense, Kobe kept putting pressure on Liu Mang's body, and he didn't lose his position!

After Liu Mang stepped back, Kobe Bryant posted up, and there was no chance to snipe!

There is no way, when Liu Mang stopped the ball, the Lakers' off-ball defense became stricter, and what's worse is that the Hawks' lineup seems to have a lot of ball-holding points, but except for Liu Mang, there is no second outside ball-holding offensive launch point, and no one comes up to answer Liu Mang!

The Zen master said that he was a chicken soup coach for the soul, but he had the material and won 9 championships with chicken soup?

Maybe other teams didn't find this flaw in the Hawks' starting lineup, or maybe other teams didn't have a defensive mad dog like Kobe, but the Zen master found that the Lakers' defense of the Hawks was extremely targeted, and Liu Mang came up and fell into the trap!

There is no way, Liu Mang can only make a three-point shot when he is stuck by Kobe!

Kobe Bryant immediately bounced up and blocked up towards Liu Mang, Liu Mang's starting height was not enough, and there was a big gap between the bounce and Kobe Bryant's 95 bounce, so he was forced to fall back and throw a three-no-stick!

Although the ball was picked up by Ratliffe, when Ratliff turned and took a step, the 24-second offensive time had arrived, and the Hawks had a 24-second violation!

It's just one round, and the Hawks feel it, and the Lakers' bone is really hard to gnaw!

It is true that the Lakers, who only averaged 97 points per game this season, have regressed a lot on the offensive end compared to the average of more than 100 points per game during the three-game championship period, but the defensive end is obviously the best except for the regular season before they won the championship in the 99-00 season when they won their first championship!

The two teams began a gorgeous iron journey, Kobe Bryant's outside singles, and the 98 near-invincible ability evaluation of Kobe Bryant's singles was really strong, under Prince's all-out defense, he was stunned to maintain a shooting rate of more than 40 percent, and shot 3 of 7 in the first quarter and scored 8 points, O'Neal's side, this year is indeed not as good as the previous two years, the first two years were directly hung with Muhammad and Ratliff strong dunks, it may be that Rashid Wallace is a little heavier, O'Neal is really not so easy to play two people, However, this year's Lakers' starting power forward is no longer Samaki Walker and the like, but Malone!

Every time O'Neal was trapped, Malone's side was exposed, and O'Neal passed to Malone, who shot the highest mid-range shooting percentage since the turn of the century this year, and he had never had so many open shots in his career, and he didn't waste opportunities like Samaki Walker or Medvidenko, scoring 6 points on 3-of-5 shooting in the first quarter.

Coupled with Wang Zhizhi, who came off the bench, he made a three-pointer and an empty cut dunk, O'Neal scored 4 points and 3 boards, and the Lakers scored 23 points in the first quarter.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang was cut off from his teammates by the Lakers' defense, unable to connect with his teammates from the dynamic offense, and could only play more individual singles, scoring 10 points in 4 of 10 shots in the first quarter, and could only find a way to compete with Kobe Bryant from all aspects such as singles, strong shots, strong bursts, etc., Liu Mang passed out, and it could only be a teammate who was stuck in the position to ask for the ball and play directly, there was no connection in the dynamic offense, it was all singles, Liu Mang singled Rahim singles, Rahim singled out Rashid Wallace singles, all singles.

The Lakers' 23 points in a single quarter is enough to be less, and the Hawks only have 21 points in a single quarter!

A feast of iron in a bloody muscle confrontation!

……

After the first quarter, the Hawks didn't dare to replace any starters, fearing that once this meat grinder defensive combination went down, the defensive connection would collapse if it was not good.

It's the same with the Lakers, the OK combination is not only the core of the offense inside and outside, but also the combination of the defensive gate inside and outside, and the Zen master also dare not replace it.

During the interval, Liu Mang was really tired from playing, mainly because he was tired!

It's too hard to hit, but it's okay to hit the iron, he is not afraid of hitting the iron, and he is not afraid of throwing too much and getting tired, mainly because he is often unable to prevent it!

Kobe Bryant is really just like what the media said, he is a crazy man on the defensive end, and it is also the reason why he has opened a significant gap with the other three of the four quarterbacks, Iverson's career average of more than 40 minutes per game seems to be exaggerated, and Kobe Bryant's average of more than 40 minutes per game at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is really qualitatively different from the other three of the four quarterbacks.

Liu Mang returned to the bench: "Coach, is there any way?" ”

There were no substitutions on the Hawks' side during the official timeout in the first quarter, and Coach Kruger said to let the starters hold up a little longer, and he watched the gaps in the Lakers' defense.

"......" Coach Krueger did not speak.

Well, Liu Mang knew, he definitely didn't see it, if the Lakers' defense was so easy to find loopholes, there would not be so many contradictions and still be able to reach the finals.

If it was so easy to find a loophole, in the original time and space, when the conflict between the Lakers and the Spurs had not completely broken out, in the second round of the playoffs, the Lakers would not have defeated the defending champion Spurs, who had a significantly stronger lineup than last season. It seems that the Spurs and the Lakers have a famous 0.4-second battle for Tianwang Mountain, in fact, the entire series of Lakers is very easy to win, when the Spurs win the Lakers, the difference is in single digits, the Lakers win the Spurs except for the Tianwang Mountain game, the other three games are won by more than ten points or even twenty points.

The Lakers' defense is really strong this year! It feels like the regular season of the '99-00 season.

Liu Mang saw Coach Kruger's brows furrowed, and suggested: "Coach, use that!" ”

Coach Kruger usually tries Liu Mang's suggestion, but this time he shook his head: "Ace, your tactic has a high chance of success, but it's too early, and the other party may soon find a way to target, and we have to look for other strategies that may beat the Lakers in the regular season." ”

didn't talk to Liu Mang anymore, Coach Kruger had his own ideas, and called the players together: "Ace, Jason, Matt, Carlos, Kwamei, you guys, Ace, you and Carlos cooperate ......"

……

At the end of the intermission, the Hawks attacked first in the second quarter, and the Hawks sent a second team led by Liu Mang and Boozer, with Jason Terry, Barnes, and Kwame Brown on the court.

On the Lakers' side, Fisher was replaced, Kobe Bryant continued to play, and Devin George, Wang Zhizhi, and O'Neal started in the second quarter.

Stockton wasn't replaced, much to the surprise of Salt Lake City fans who came from afar wearing Malone and Stockton's Jazz jerseys on the sidelines.

Liu Mang receives Jason Terry's serve and advances to the frontcourt.

Liu Mang was a little surprised by the tactical arrangement in the second quarter, but he didn't have other ideas that were better and more in line with the team's plan, so he strictly followed the coach's tactics to attack.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, the Lakers seemed to have decided that Jason Terry was going to take the ball after he came on the court, and Kobe Bryant went to defend Jason Terry.

Liu Mang pushed over and looked at Fisher to defend himself......

There's no way around it, the coach's tactics ...... What is that, let's talk about it in waves!
