By 7:45 p.m. on March 14, the Hawks and Lakers players had entered the Phillips Arena and waited for the final pre-game preparation time to be over, and the game was about to begin.

There's never a shortage of attention in Los Angeles, and of course, we're talking about the Lakers, who are among the best in the NBA even when they're at their worst.

Not to mention that they also have the most controversial superstar Kobe Bryant.

After Kobe Bryant entered the court, he saw Kobe and Liu Mang coming over to say hello together, and he was angry when he saw it!

Qiang smiled and said hello, Kobe Bryant looked at the departing scoring duo, Kobe Bryant felt that those two bastards were showing off to him!

This person is like this, what he wants to do will always be substituted for others.

Kobe Bryant was imagining how he would show off to others when he got back a strong teammate, so he naturally substituted the imaginary enemy into the same "idea".

Today is the last game that Kobe Bryant and Old Buss have agreed on, and he wants to go all out to have a wave with Liu Mang and Maddie.

Kobe Bryant looked at Frank Humberen on the sidelines, the head coach of the Lakers, the old assistant coach of Coach Tom Janovic for more than ten years, he has no ability, he has coached 20 games, 7 wins and 13 losses, and the Lakers have taken over the interim head coach position from 25 wins and 21 losses, and now they have fallen out of the playoffs, and after losing to the Rockets, the record has become 32 wins and 34 losses.

But if you want to talk about good things, Kobe feels that he can play casually, and the coach can't control him.

Kobe Bryant knows that he can't catch up with Liu Mang 100% in 40+ games, 12 games short, even if he plays the remaining 16 games, it is impossible to catch up.

But the day before yesterday, he played the Rockets game and showed his super scoring ability in front of Yao Ming, although he lost the game, he scored 53 points and got the fifth 50+ this season, which is only one game away from Liu Mang's 6 50+.

After a hurricane, he also wanted to try the feeling of back-to-back 50+, at least before the injury, to be on par with Liu Mang in 50+ games!

……

"That iron-striking guy actually has such an evil careful mind......" Liu Mang and Maddie heard the system prompt when they returned to their half-court practice shooting.

glanced at Maddie, and then turned his head to look at Kobe Bryant, who was practicing shooting, Liu Mang felt that the two high school students were really good friends, and they were so happy when they met, but they both wanted to each other behind their backs.

"Ding...... Challenger League Quest Series: Peak Showdown. ”

"Matchup at the top: Kobe Bryant tries to once again challenge the host's highest single-game scoring record of the season, and the host needs to score more points than Kobe Bryant in this game. Quest Reward: Bonus host score minus Kobe Bryant score multiplied by 1000 Superstar Value. Defeat Penalty: Kobe Bryant score minus host score multiplied by 3000 Megastar value. ”

This damn blacksmith, Liu Mang feels like he's being targeted again!

However, Liu Mang also feels that he is looking forward to a showdown with Kobe, and every time he plays against Kobe, he feels so interesting.

In addition to this quest, the system also hints at the previous sub-quest of the king of scoring.

"Prologue to an Epic Scorer Showdown: In the 2004-2005 season, the host was required to hold the record for the highest individual points scored in a single game of the season until the end of the season, and whenever a player scored more points in a single game, the host had to overtake the score in the following match. Reward: +1 for all-round shooting ability. Defeat penalty: Cumulative defeat penalty, every time the highest score of the season is refreshed by others, if the host is not overtaken in the next game, 10,000 superstar points will be deducted for each defeat. ”

Liu Mang thought about it, he scored 60 points once and 61 points once this season, that is, 61 points......

This little blacksmith actually wants to surpass his own 61 points...... Don't say it, this guy's words are really possible!

Then hard steel!

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the fans at the scene became irritated as the video footage of Rashid Wallace's roar was played.

"Ding...... The Hawks devils triggered at home, and the Lakers' morale was suppressed. ”

"Ding...... Trait: Cold-blooded trigger, Kobe Bryant ignores the Hawks Devils home court. ”

Liu Mang came on the field after sprinkling magnesium powder and heard the prompt of the system.

"Cut, this paranoia." Liu Mang came to the free throw line with a sneer, waiting for the attack.

Yes, just waiting for the attack, Kwame Brown and the opposing big man jumped the ball, and if he lost, he would want to kill the high school student.

The Hawks sent a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Korver, Josh Smith and Kwame Brown, and used Josh Smith to guard Odom.

The Lakers fielded a starting lineup of Atkins, Kobe, Butler, Odom, and Chris Meem.

Didn't disappoint Liu Mang, Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from Chris Meme's head, Liu Mang was already ready, rushed up to put the racket back from Kwame Brown to Maddie, and rushed towards the front court!

The Lakers still maintain the defensive enthusiasm of Coach Tomjanovic when he was coaching, although the defense is not very good, but the defense is very fast, Liu Mang passed half the court, and was immediately blocked, Kobe guessed that Liu Mang wanted to open the fast attack and come up to block Liu Mang.

Liu Mang didn't expect Kobe to be so active, but he rushed over and braked unsteadily...... When Liu Mang came into contact with Kobe, he jumped out in the direction where Kobe rushed over, passed by Kobe Bryant's chest, moved horizontally to the position facing the basket, and rushed towards the three-point line.

After Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line, Maddie's pass came in time, when Liu Mang stepped to the free throw line, he just received Maddie's pass, took a step, jumped up in the free throw line, dodged the block of Kobe Bryant and Chris Meem who caught up behind him, and threw the ball to the basket with a low hand in his left hand.

Kwame Brown didn't even plan to catch the ball, and from the moment Liu Mang rushed in and saw Chris Meem standing outside the arc of the reasonable collision zone, Kwame Brown began to prepare to grab the rebound.

Seeing the ball bounce off the basket and into the frame, Kwame Brown immediately stepped back.

Maddie Mezi's retreat, a direct pass to get an assist.

Liu Mang was also a little surprised when he retreated, thinking that the other party would help Kobe Bryant deal with him like the Bulls, but when he rushed to the free throw line, only Chris Mime under the basket stood up to make up for the defense.

This little blacksmith wants to go it alone!

Seeing Kobe Bryant coming over to receive Atkins' pass, Liu Mang immediately headed towards ...... Atkins defended.

As Liu Mang expected, what Kobe Bryant wanted was to go head-to-head!

He doesn't bother to do the kind of thing that calls his teammates to help.

Seeing Liu Mang rushing towards the top arc, Kobe Bryant was about to kill Liu Mang...... Then I saw Liu Mang rushing to Atkins' side, and Maddie defended in front of him from behind Liu Mang.

Kobe Bryant showed a real-black question mark face: Isn't it going to be heads-up?

Forget it, it's the same with beating Maddie......

"Ding...... I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of you? Traits: Decisive trigger, Kobe Bryant's unique temperament, so that Tracy McGrady involuntarily began to fight him alone. ”

"Ding...... Trait: Triggered by jealousy, Tracy McGrady shows off his defensive ability to defend the gate. ”

"I'll go!" Listening to the systematic data analysis of the current state of the two prompted by the system, Liu Mang's head was a little big, seeing Maddie squinting his eyes and colliding with Kobe, trying his best to fight with Kobe, Maddie's defense is so focused, Liu Mang is quite happy, yes, but Maddie is going to be on the bar with Kobe? What about passing the ball to the master to score?

Playing Maddie Bryant, he was full of energy, relying on his strong body to squeeze into the middle distance, jumping, and forcibly leaning back......

"Huh"

Maddie defended well, limiting Kobe to the free throw line, and didn't give Kobe a chance to use his strong body to rush to the basket, but Kobe Bryant's first single shot was also hit!

"Ding...... Stubborn level 5 trigger, the next shot must be shot after the shot, and the next shot must be shot after the shot is missed, from Kobe Bryant. ”

After Kobe Bryant scored, he proudly blew the gun finger at Maddie and hit it with one blow!

Provocation!

Liu Mang picked up the ball and saw Maddie stretching out his hand to ask for the ball, or passed it to Maddie, he felt that Maddie wanted to be hard steel with Kobe!

The little blacksmith wants to provoke Maddie to reduce the number of shots!

Despicable!

But Maddie's expression asked for the ball, and Liu Mang could only give it.

Liu Mang ran to the front court, Kobe Bryant continued to stick to him to defend, this time the Lakers have retreated in place, Liu Mang took Kobe Bryant to run in from the middle, and then wanted to use Josh Smith to block and dismantle the Lakers' defense, who knew that Kobe Bryant directly squeezed Josh Smith away!

Josh Smith can't help it, this iron is the existence of a big forward who can play on his back!

Liu Mang reached the left high position of the free throw line, and Kobe Bryant had already pressed up.

Unexpectedly, not only to Liu Mang's surprise, but also to Kobe's surprise, Maddie broke through Butler and did not break directly into the basket, but stopped on the right side of the three-second zone, and after attracting Odom, who just wanted to change Liu Mang's defense, he passed it to Liu Mang!

Liu Mang received the ball unexpectedly, felt the force of Kobe Bryant's squeeze behind him relaxed, and immediately took a step forward with his left foot, and the left foot that stepped out was the axis, turning 180 degrees to face the basket, his right foot stepped on the ground violently, and his left foot took advantage of the momentum and bounced out towards the rear!

"Ding...... Because the host deceived the opponent's defense, the turn-over jumper, the high-post back-to-body skill was triggered at level 5, and the mid-range shooting ability was +5......"

Kobe Bryant immediately pounced on Liu Mang, but Liu Mang took a big step back in the air, and he leaned back slightly!

The opportunity is perfect, it's the same as training, and it triggers the skill! Liu Mang made adjustments in the air and threw a backward jumper!

"Bang"

"Huh"

A mid-range back-to-back shot at a 45-degree angle!

"Uh......"

Liu Mang is a little painful, he is not aiming at the basket! It's still a little uncomfortable to lean back......

However, an expression of "this is what Lao Tzu wants" must be made on his face, Liu Mang showed a smug expression, shrugged his shoulders with his hands, and immediately retreated.

Liu Mang now understands that Maddie was made by Kobe's very special temperament to want to play against Kobe, but his way of dueling is passing!

Liu Mang looked at Maddie's current ability evaluation.

"Tracy McGrady, Ability Rating 98, Offense 97, Defense 89, Three-Point 87, Shooting 92, Layup 95, Passing 91......"

The defense has improved, the desire to score has decreased, and the passing has improved!

Maddie still maintains the usual style of play this season, creates the best scoring opportunities for Liu Mang, and helps Liu Mang deal with Kobe!

Liu Mang felt even more excited, he and Maddie, this is called a combination of two swords!

Let's Kobe!

Maddie's breakthrough just now obviously made Kobe distracted, and Kobe's reaction was a beat slower, giving Liu Mang the perfect space to turn over and jump back.

Kobe Bryant also felt this, and after coming to the frontcourt, he saw Maddie defending himself again, if it weren't for Atkins who averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game, Kobe estimated that Liu Mang would also be able to defend himself.

But Kobe Bryant is not afraid, single-handedly picking up this kind of thing, one against two? Let's pick two! Less than three people prevent him from not throwing him and losing!
