452. Marbury's anterior body reorientation
At this moment, Marbury's anger at the steal turned into shock!
Liu Mang's strength is stronger than his size looks!
After Liu Mang's weight increased to 87 kg, he did not continue to increase his weight, tried to continue to gain muscle, and found that it would affect his flexibility, so he did not continue to increase his weight, normally speaking, limited by the limitations of physical fitness, Liu Mang's height and weight in his early 70s are the strength of the sky, compared with Marbury in addition to weight, strength is impossible to have an advantage, just like Marbury at the end of his future career in the CBA, a group of point guards who are taller than him and stronger than him are pinched and played by him.
But Liu Mang was not affected by muscle damage when he trained, and slightly broke through some of his own innate limitations, as well as a series of factors such as eating a low-level strength fruit before, as well as bouncing fruits, kung fu cards, etc., which allowed him to reach the strength that his size could not reach under normal circumstances.
Originally, this matter was not paid much attention to, firstly, his style of play, most of the time he made fouls when he had physical confrontation on the offensive end, shot without it, was caught and divided the ball, and occasionally encountered Francis, his strength was not enough to see, and he was crushed, so not many people noticed that his strength was actually very good in point guards, and even his teammates on the Hawks didn't notice.
Liu Mang's most popular skill is to grab rebounds.
Mainly awareness, he felt that if it wasn't for the tactical needs, such as Kidd and Lonzo Ball, grabbing the rebound ball directly instigated his teammates to counterattack, the point guard to compete for the rebound, and the defensive rebound would occupy the interior space, and it was easy to be rushed by the opponent outside to grab the rebound, and the offensive rebound would be too late to prevent his defender from breaking fast and being counterattacked by the opponent when he didn't grab it.
Like Kidd and Lonzo Ball, they grab rebounds first when they predict the landing point, and without that kind of card position, the defensive rebounds are all rushing, and the probability of losing the position is huge.
And if the point guard rushes to grab defensive rebounds, if he doesn't have Kidd's long-pass ability, and even the awareness of directly advancing the counterattack is average, it is basically not good for the team's offense and defense.
For example, Oscar Robertson, the first player in history to average a triple-double per game, had a season with an average triple-double per game, and the team was only 43-37, when there were only nine teams in the NBA.
Therefore, Liu Mang's attitude towards rebounding has always been that he can pick up a teammate who is as strong as a rebounding ball, why do he have to do everything by himself, whether he is tired or not, and how comfortable it is to score on the counterattack.
Therefore, Liu Mang has never had any desire to rebound, and similarly, if he doesn't have a desire, he won't delve into it, and he won't have any sense of rebounding.
And this time, it was really surprising to grab the offensive rebound against the opponent's big man.
Especially Marbury, who also rebounded like scum and was not as good as the 183 champion rebounds of the year, saw Liu Mang give the ball to his teammates with Stoudemire, and Marbury was shocked at the beginning!
Marbury calmed down all of a sudden, he wasn't stupid, and although it was common for him to despise his opponents, he was able to average at least 8 assists per game for 8 consecutive seasons, which proves that his ball quotient is high.
Seeing Liu Mang's performance through this offensive and defensive round, you will know that this guy is really powerful!
Marbury, who calmed down, advanced after receiving the serve, and did not want to play like Liu Mang who broke his rookie season with the mentality of playing just now, but controlled the ball well.
Of course, being beaten like this, Marbury's anger can be imagined! After being shocked, calmed down and ready to fight, the anger in Marbury's heart couldn't be suppressed completely, and he wanted to return it!
Liu Mang wiped the sweat on his palms on his pants, and when he saw Marbury's serious eyes, he knew that the real game was about to start.
Marbury came to the three-point line, Liu Mang kept a one-step distance, Marbury's three-point shooting was okay in this era, with a perennial 31 percent shooting rate, and more than 1 three-pointer per game, so he didn't dare to put it as far as Francis.
Marbury looked at Liu Mang with a guarded face, his defensive posture was not bad, and the amazing prediction just now, others couldn't understand it, probably thinking that he was overturned by Liu Mang's height and weight strength, but he knew that Liu Mang's position just now was the key! Without that predicted position, even if he didn't have an advantage in strength and weight, he wouldn't have been prevented so easily.
However, Marbury is full of confidence in himself! Break through again!
Marbury slapped the ball to the ground and stepped forward with his right foot, which was very big!
Liu Mang didn't judge it this time, so he could only follow his feelings, but because Marbury's mid-range shooting could only be said to be okay, Liu Mang's defense was very targeted, and he directly retreated to break through.
The moment Marbury stepped on his right foot, the ball that he slapped down quickly bounced into his left hand, and at the same time, Marbury retracted his right foot and accelerated towards the left front!
Liu Mang hurriedly blocked it to the right, but! Left behind by Marbury's rapid three steps!
Marbury, who got serious, was too fast! One-on-one can't be prevented at all!
After rushing to the inside, Marbury hit a pull-up layup in the blocked Liu Mang and Ratliff clip.
After Marbury scored, he clenched his fists on his waist, his whole body muscles bulged, and he yelled at the fans like a crab, jumping with his left foot and his right foot to return to the defense, and the small speed was quite fast.
When the fans at the scene were a little deflated by the empty catch just now, they saw Marbury's trademark forward change of direction and breakthrough layup, and the cheers rang out again.
So fast! It's fast! Can't prevent it!
Liu Mang didn't guard against Marbury last season, at that time, Liu Mang felt that his physical fitness was too poor, but now in addition to explosiveness, other strength, bounce, and speed are very strong, especially the speed and bounce are absolutely top-notch, but they still can't be prevented!
Only then did I realize that my idea was wrong, not that I couldn't defend myself at that time, but that Marbury was so difficult to prevent! Otherwise, how did the average of 8 assists per game come from relying on sudden points?
The stronger the strength, the more different the world Liu Mang sees, and the more he understands the true strength of his opponent.
But...... This change of direction in front of the body is quite powerful! This gave Liu Mang more motivation to complete the task and get Marbury's early change of direction breakthrough!
But guard against Marbury...... It's hard! Liu Mang glanced at Prince resentfully when he received the serve, if this guy progressed a little faster, wouldn't anyone be able to guard against Marbury?
Prince just looked at Liu Mang, and when he saw Liu Mang's eyes, he felt so innocent: Where did I provoke the boss again?
