273. Kobe Time
After Liu Mang came on the court, the Lakers' defense changed, Kobe Bryant came to defend Liu Mang, Fisher went to defend Jason Terry, and Raheem was still defended by Fox.
With the experience of two encounters, Kobe Bryant's fear of Liu Mang has reached a level second only to the other three of the four quarterbacks.
Raheem got off to a decent start, with Jason Terry pushing in to hand Raheem, who continued to play singles.
"I throw and lose the ball every day, what are you doing to prevent me, you see, Sharif is going to score again." Liu Mang really couldn't get rid of Kobe's defense, so he simply stood at a 45-degree angle and watched Raheem single, just pull Kobe apart, but he still had to spray.
However, Kobe Bryant had already resisted Liu Mang's trash talk, but said in a very soft tone: "Ace, I heard Tracy say that your salary is only more than 400,000?" You see that Rahim is paid more than forty times as much as you, and it feels unfair to you. ”
Ai Ai Ai ...... Ace?
Liu Mang was frightened by Kobe's title, doesn't this guy call himself a rookie every time, or a stinky boy, or a bastard, a villain or something?
Also, the unfair words in the back are sowing discord?
This is exactly what the master really thinks in his heart!
At this time, Raheem forcibly squeezed Fox into the inside and hit a layup, Liu Mang turned back to defend and said to Kobe: "You're so right, I've always been envious of Sherif for getting so much salary, but it seems that your salary is not as much as Sherriff, it seems to be only half of O'Neal's?" ”
Damn rookie! It's a waste of saliva again!
After Bryant crossed the half, he first ran inside, then suddenly stopped and turned back to the top arc to receive Fisher's pass, and Liu Mang pulled out a three-point shot to make a save.
Liu Mang didn't react, and Kobe Bryant threw in.
So treacherous!
I used to fall into a low position, but this time I suddenly ran back!
Liu Mang didn't know that this was Kobe Bryant's game video when he watched the game against the Spurs two days ago, and he had a deep fear of his strength.
Although when Kobe Bryant played Liu Mang for the first time, Liu Mang couldn't help but be weak, but by the All-Star Weekend, Liu Mang relied on Iverson's star card bonus, and he also improved, at least a good level of strength.
Often many rookies enter the NBA and there will be a rookie wall or something, not a small number of people are because they can't quickly adapt to the NBA-level confrontation, but if they get used to it, they will be stronger, which is very common, Kobe Bryant entered the NBA at the age of 17, this was the case, and after two years, he got used to it.
And there are also Liu Mang, who is very adaptable from the beginning and quickly gets used to NBA-level confrontation.
Just after Kobe Bryant's shot, Jason Terry quickly went down!
Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed up quickly, rushing to the bottom corner of the front court, Kobe Bryant chased after Jason Terry, Jason Terry divided the ball to Liu Mang's side, and Liu Mang hit a three-point shot with color.
Compared with Kobe's shot, Liu Mang's shot was too easy.
Turning back to the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant continued to single Liu Mang.
Compared with Rahim, Liu Mang did put a lot less pressure on Kobe Bryant in the confrontation, which surprised Kobe, not as strong as he imagined, or is that Stephen Jackson really such a weak chicken?
However, Liu Mang's enthusiasm, speed advantage, and dead-faced defense worked very well when defending Kobe, and Kobe Bryant's blocking and dismantling were not easy to get rid of Liu Mang, and Kobe's shooting rate began to decline.
And the Hawks played fast today, without Ratlleaf, the defensive end would have been unable to defend, but on the offensive end, when the three eaglets were on the court, they played much better than when Ratliff was there.
When he fell into the position, Rahim played alone, Kobe Bryant had to mark Liu Mang, Fox or Horry who came off the bench to defend, Raheem was extremely efficient in singles.
Run, the Lakers are even more unguardable, there is no O'Neal, who averages four offensive rebounds per game and can often help his teammates get into position, the Lakers are not as strong as the Hawks in terms of offensive rebounds or defensive rebounds, Raheem and Muhammad are both players who average double-doubles in rebounds per game, and there is also one less fierce big center in the card position, and the Hawks still have an advantage.
After Liu Mang came up, he had a faster offensive engine and a more accurate three-point shot, and the Hawks quickly caught up with the score at the end of the first quarter!
After the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 35!
can't be prevented, and both teams' offenses are very efficient!
Compared with the Hawks' loss of Ratliff, it is obvious that the Lakers lost O'Neal's strength has declined a lot!
Even if Kobe Bryant scored 13 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, he couldn't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Hawks' three All-Stars.
……
In the second quarter, Kobe Bryant could no longer suppress his desire to shoot.
Pass?
No more! Even if you pass this group of teammates, you can't shoot!
The Lakers role players have always been good, but after Kobe Bryant entered the Lakers, there have never been vacant pitchers like Korver, late Ray Allen, Battier, Mike Miller, etc., when the Lakers have at least two superstars, relying on both superstars can attract the bag, and the vacant pitchers have enough time to shoot slowly, so they can have a good shooting rate, but when Kobe Bryant is left alone, the strength of the Lakers is probably about the same as the three seasons of 05-07, and there is still an Odom at that time, and now Odom doesn't either.
After the start of the game in the second quarter, Kobe Bryant began to work hard!
Tactics or something, shoot with the ball!
After coming up, Kobe Bryant rushed into the basket with the ball, and he didn't care about Liu Mang's ability to block under the basket, and he forced a layup against Liu Mang to the three-second zone and forced a layup to hit 2+1.
Liu Mang turned around and wanted to fight back, but he was in a hurry, and was robbed by Kobe's fierce pounce!
Kobe Bryant transported to the front court by himself, accelerated to the middle distance, and did not get rid of Liu Mang and Jason Terry's double bag, Liu Mang received a hint from Kobe Bryant's second quarter, Kobe's stubborn characteristics have been triggered, knowing that he has to shoot next, so he directly called Jason Terry to wrap Kobe Bryant, but Kobe Bryant shot at the two and hit again in the middle distance!
This kind of ball is too frustrating for the defender!
Immediately after that, Kobe Bryant hit another three-point shot, and scored 8 points in a row in one minute, personally representing the Lakers and Hawks to play a wave of 8-2!
In just one minute and 8 seconds, Kobe Bryant came up with a wave of onslaught and stopped the Hawks!
It was not the coach who called the timeout, but Liu Mang, who received the serve and advanced to the half.
Both the player with the ball and the coach can call a timeout.
"What's wrong Ace, what's uncomfortable?" Coach Kruger didn't expect Liu Mang to call a timeout, and Liu Mang asked with concern immediately after returning to the bench.
Although he scolded and wanted to fight, Coach Kruger really cared about Liu Mang, a disciple he brought into the NBA from college.
"It's okay, I just wanted to disrupt that guy's rhythm." Liu Mang replied.
Just after Kobe Bryant scored three goals in a row, the system's prompt came again.
"Ding...... Kobe Bryant Time Trigger, from Kobe Bryant. ”
Seeing that Kobe Bryant is going to prosper, I don't know if calling a timeout will work, anyway, Popovich is dealing with Kobe like that, but it doesn't have much effect, but it has to be tried, making it clear that Kobe has started to live every day.
“??” Coach Kruger didn't expect Liu Mang to be so sensible!
Aren't young people all beaten a few balls and about to come back?
If Liu Mang knew Coach Kruger's thoughts, he would definitely give a contemptuous look, of course, secretly.
Joke!
That's Kobe! Others don't know that Kobe Bryant is going to go berserk, and Liu Mang has a system prompt that is clear!
Now for the time being, there is really no one on the Hawks' side who can compete with Kobe, let alone the rampaging Kobe, who can win a team 62-61 and is still the team with the best record in the league like the Mavericks!
