"Do you dare to say yes if I call you?"

Every time he saw Nowitzki, Liu Mang couldn't help but want to go up and say this, but he finally held back.

It's so similar!

This year, Nowitzki's hair has grown a little longer, except for the color, it has become the same as the second king!

If you go to shoot Journey to the West, you don't need to paint makeup, rub some silver powder, change armor, and you can go up and fight Sun Wukong for 300 rounds.

Nowitzki was looked at by Liu Mang, thinking that the Mavericks had a little guard nicknamed "Geisha", who seemed to be Liu Mang's follower, Nowitzki's body couldn't help but tremble, and quickly returned to the bench and hid in the crowd.

"Huh?" Liu Mang was admiring the face of the two kings, and when he saw that the other party had run away, he seemed to have been staring at others, which was a little rude, Liu Mang touched his nose and returned to the bench, Stockton came to help Liu Mang pinch his shoulders and relax.

There was a lot of pressure on the coaching staff in this game, and the goal set in the morning pre-game meeting was to win.

And now in the league, there are basically no teams that dare to say that they will win against the Mavericks, and the Hawks do not dare to say that they must win.

Unlike last season, when there were a bunch of super top teams in the league, the pattern of the league has changed dramatically this season, the Hawks and the Lakers, two super teams from last season, have disintegrated, the Hawks are okay, and they have been replaced by Maddy, and the Lakers have gone directly from the super teams to the playoff contenders.

In this way, those top teams that maintain the integrity of the lineup will naturally be stronger, especially the Mavericks, a team whose big forwards are all guards, and they play better under the existing rules.

"System boss, Novitsky's strength."

"Ding...... Dirk Nowitzki, Ability Rating 94, Offense 97, Defense 75, Three-Point Shot 88, Shooting 93, Layup 90, Speed 79, Power 83, Rebounds 91......"

It's almost to super giant strength!

However, Liu Mang is not afraid of Nowitzki, his own strength is already above the top stars, plus Maddie.

The main thing is that the Mavericks are the whole team, which is very close to the configuration of the Bulls! A large number of quasi-first-class stars, unlike the lineup that the Bulls have put together for many years, the Mavericks are American knife players, and they spent more than 90 million salaries this season to put together such a lineup.

Devin Harris, Competency Assessment 70; Marquis Daniels, Ability Assessment 77; Josh Howard, Competency Assessment 82; Michael Finley, Ability Assessment 84; Jerry Stackhouse, Ability Assessment 81; Eric Dampier, Competency Assessment 79; Keith Van Horn, Ability Rating 78......

It's a similar configuration to the Bulls, and they have a solid prospect of superstar Dirk Nowitzki!

Very powerful team, Harris rookie, Daniels, Josh Howard's Dallas double ugly combination is only in the second year, Finley, Stackhouse, the two former Jordan successors are still strong, although Dampier is arrogant, but the defense is as high as 88, first-class interior defense giants, and Darrell Armstrong, Sean Bradley These bench players.

Liu Mang felt that this game could not be wasted, he had to play hard, and he couldn't be as careless as he was when he met the Bulls last time.

That's the same thing in Liu Mang's heart, three consecutive 50+ games, but lost two, this Nima is a little too hurtful to his self-esteem.

But......

Sometimes I'm afraid of something.

With the end of the pre-game activities, the last warm-up time before the game for the players of the two teams on the field is also coming to an end, and the game is about to start.

"Ding...... Temporary mission release: Hello second brother. ”

"Hello second brother: In the game, if Dirk Nowitzki changes defenses, the host must choose to shoot in the independent posture of the golden rooster, and say the classic lines of the Journey to the West Silver Horn King to Dirk Nowitzki after the last shot in the independent posture after the victory. If you don't encounter garbage time, you must be off the court, and the host must face Nowitzki at least one independent jumper in each quarter, complete the mission requirements in each quarter, win the game, and say the classic line. If there is any time against Dirk Nowitzki who does not use the Golden Rooster independent position, an additional number of hits will be required. Mission Reward: Reward Technical Shooting Pack: Golden Rooster Independent Jump Shot. Failure penalty: Randomly delete an existing action pack. ”

"Hello second brother? Break the system, do you have any culture! Why don't you come by yourself! That's a big forward! Tough shots in the face of power forwards? Master is not that kind of wave! The master is the boss of the stable and mature team! ”

However, Liu Mang really wants to complete this task!

"Golden Rooster Independent Jump Shot Level 1: The referee will not blow a kick foul when stretching his legs during the jump shot, and when jumping with one foot, his physical stability will not be affected by jumping with one foot, and the height of the one-foot standing jump will increase by 10 percent."

This is the first time Liu Mang has encountered it, a technical shooting bag! Shooting packs with grades!

10% increase in jump height on one foot? What does this mean?

Liu Mang had never experienced this technical shooting bag, and he didn't know what the effect was, so he tried to lift up with his right foot and jump with his left foot on one foot...... It seems that the distance of jumping height and displacement is much worse than standing on the ground with both feet! The main reason is that because the jump on one foot is not high enough, the displacement is not so large, and it is not easy to get out of the space.

Nowitzki, on the other hand, is too tall and plays from the outside, so he doesn't need to bounce too well.

And when this feature is systematized to Liu Mang, the bonus provided for Liu Mang is the bonus of the one-foot bounce height!

This skill, Liu Mang really wants!

Liu Mang watched Kwame Brown jump in the middle circle after provoking the opponent's fans, and felt so sad: It's not that the master has to wave, it's forced!

……

There was no live broadcast in the United States, and the court station livestreamed the first meeting of the season between the Hawks and the Mavericks.

"Imperial Court TV, Imperial Court TV, welcome to watch the Atlanta Hawks away game against the Dallas Mavericks brought to you by Imperial Court TV, I am the commentator Yu Jia, today we invited the guest is still everyone's favorite Zhang Weiping Zhang Guidance, today the Hawks sent the starting lineup is still Ace and Maddy, the two NBA scoring champions led the lineup, the other three players are the little prince, roaring Tianzun and Ace called the strongest high school center Brown; On the Mavericks' side, the starting lineup is rookie Harris, Jordan's successor Finley, also named Michael, 03 generation iconic small forward Josh Howard, German tank Nowitzki, 96 generation iconic center Dampier, Director Zhang, what do you think of today's game? ”

"I think this game is a challenge for the Hawks, the Mavericks' lineup is very similar to the Bulls, they are stronger than the Bulls, and they have a superstar in their power forward position, which means that the Bulls have a player who can play the strongest interior offense stably throughout the whole process, and the Bulls' strength when Curry plays a strong offense, we have all seen the Bulls' excellent overall strength, the Mavericks are the Bulls who have activated all their strength, and the Hawks are now the most difficult to deal with this kind of team.

And the gap between the two teams' records is not very large, the Hawks are 17-4, and the Mavericks are 14-8, a difference of 4 wins, the Mavericks may not be able to catch up with the Hawks, but the difference in strength is not as big as last season. ”

Director Zhang's analysis, in the absence of Sun Zhengping, the host who can't kick the basketball with his feet, is still very professional, no one adds to the chaos, and the analysis is straightforward.

"Listening to Director Zhang's analysis, this game is interesting...... Both starters were already on the pitch and we cut back to the game......"

The court station wants to broadcast the Eagles' games is actually more troublesome, the eastern time is more than the western time, relative to the time of the imperial capital, a little far behind, the eastern game time is too early relative to the imperial capital time, when the home game, the imperial court station can only broadcast the game with a late start time, and the league can't schedule all the home games of the Eagles very late, so when the Eagles go to the west to play away, almost all the strong teams have live broadcasts.

……

Kwame Brown faced Dampier, who claimed to be the strongest center in the West after O'Neal left the West, and he was even more dissatisfied in this game, and he played a strong performance in two consecutive games, but he was replaced when he was about to get brutal data, and he was more motivated in this game! Against the Mavericks, whose rebounding ability is relatively average, Kwame Brown still wants to continue to try to grab 20 rebounds!

Liu Mang waited for the jump ball, and became more and more satisfied with Kwame Brown, as the season deepened, Kwame Brown played better and better, and after almost 20 rebounds in two consecutive games, Kwame Brown's average rebounds per game was almost 12! The Hawks also moved back up to fourth in the league with 43.3 rebounds per game.

In Liu Mang's opinion, it is really a pity that Kwame Brown was wasted two years at the beginning, if it was clear from the beginning that his positioning was a super blue-collar worker, it might not be much worse than Howard's future, and now after a two-year delay, he can still have an average of 13.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game in the fourth grade, which can be seen as talented.

However, Howard averaged 15+12 per game in the second year, and 20 points, 14 rebounds and 2 blocks per game in the fourth year, so it's a pity to compare.

It's time to jump the ball, Nowitzki came over to greet the Eagles players of the visiting team, and when he high-fived Liu Mang, he saw Liu Mang's expression of gritting his teeth, and there were a series of question marks in Nowitzki's head, he felt that Liu Mang seemed to be targeting him today!

Didn't mess with this guy! He remembered that when Nash was there before, Nash also asked the two of them to watch the Dallas Cowboys game together, although the relationship was not close, but it was still friendly! Today, Nowitzki clearly felt that Liu Mang didn't like him.

Is it because Nash was not left?

Nowitzki probably thinks this is the reason, he is also helpless, he knows that Nash's strength may be stronger than him, but the boss doesn't stay, and he can't help it.

At half past seven, the referee selected the ball and came to the center circle, pointed to the positions of the two teams, blew the whistle for the start of the game, and threw the ball into the air.

Kwame Brown burst into excitement, although his fingers were short, he jumped more than ten centimeters higher than Dampier, who was also a physical man, and flicked the ball backwards, Liu Mang received the ball, dribbled two steps and immediately threw it to Maddie.

The passing accuracy and anticipation of the pass master level 5 can accurately deliver the ball to Maddie.

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, at first he did not wave, but played steadily, leading the team to attack, using his running to disrupt the Bulls' defense.

Liu Mang rushed directly into the inside, Nowitzki and Harris both chased after Liu Mang, and then Liu Mang ran from the basket to the left, bringing Dampier and Harris to the bottom left corner of the basket, Kwame Brown cut in from the middle, Nowitzki just wanted to expand out and immediately had to retract, Rasheed Wallace blocked Finley who defended Maddie, Maddie stepped to the right side of the 45-degree angle mid-distance, and the long two-point shot of the empty space!

At the beginning of the game, Maddie made a mid-range shot.

At the beginning of the game, it was Maddie who shot first, which was a bit unexpected by the Mavericks, and it also made the Mavericks players more focused, the Hawks looked like they were going all out today, Liu Mang was creating opportunities for his teammates, if it weren't for Nowitzki's poor defensive ability but good attitude to block Kwame Brown, he would have been made by Liu Mang's running position at the beginning, and Kwame Brown could directly catch the ball and dunk at the beginning.

Offense and defense transition, Mavericks offense.

Liu Mang waited for Harris to advance over, this guy was fast, he had to defend himself to defend it.

Devin Harris, Ability Rating 70, Offense 73, Defense 69, Three-Point Shot 71, Shooting 67, Layup 82, Speed 94, Power 75......

That's fast! Liu Mang has only one of the few players in the NBA who can compete with him, and Harris is one of them.

However, Harris is very self-aware, although he is a starter, he only averages 7 shots per game, and after halftime, he handed the ball to Nowitzki, who asked for the ball outside the three-point line on the left side of the basket, and then took Liu Mang to the outside of the three-point line on the right side of the basket to give Nowitzki space to play alone.

A big forward asks for the ball alone outside the three-point line, in the history of the NBA, it is estimated that Nowitzki and Larry Bird can use this style of play to play superstar-level offense, Odom can't do it, Wang Zhizhi also has this style of play, but the ability is not good.

Seeing Nowitzki step by step, head and shoulders, finding the feeling of facing Rasheed Wallace on the back, jumping on one foot and backing the golden rooster to shoot independently, just like that, the space was separated, and the ball was thrown out without interference, and Nowitzki's first single three-pointer also scored!

Rashid Wallace has interfered well, but Nowitzki's face frame singles this season have entered their peak, and he has an offensive ability evaluation of 97 just by the face frame, which is too strong!

The Golden Rooster independent jump shot has been practiced to the point of perfection, and Nowitzki, who was wantonly bullied by Rashid Wallace before, is now not afraid of Tianzun's vicious face!

There was no chance to counterattack, after Liu Mang received the serve, he made a gesture, chose to play steadily, and after advancing to the front court, he made a gesture, not playing a small ball style of fast running and empty cutting, but beckoning to block and dismantle.

The target of the blockade is of course Rashid Wallace!

Liu Mang decided to give it a try first.

The Hawks have been training a lot of training to integrate positional warfare and small-ball play into a lot of training, not as uncomfortable as playing Magic and the Bulls, and quickly switching to positional warfare, Maddie and Prince opened up space on both sides, Prince went to the left bottom corner, Maddie went to the right bottom corner, Kwame Brown received the three-second zone next to Dampier to contain Dampier under the basket, and Rasheed Wallace came out to block Harris for Liu Mang.

Liu Mang quickly cut into the middle distance on the right side with the help of Rashid Wallace's blocking, and Rashid Wallace immediately disassembled to the left 45-degree angle to the middle distance, taking Harris away, and Nowitzki switched to Liu Mang.

Something unexpected happened, he thought that Liu Mang would continue to break through, he was already about to give up struggling, the cliff couldn't keep up, he didn't expect Liu Mang to stop in the middle distance, it seemed that he was going to fight him alone!

Nowitzki is so aggrieved, the other party is targeting him! Is this the rhythm of a playful breakthrough?

Then, something even more unexpected came to Nowitzki, Liu Mang did not break through, but carried it, suddenly jumped towards the rear, and shot directly at the middle distance!

Nowitzki immediately pounced, he didn't think he could interfere with Liu Mang's jump shot, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to jump so short, and the jump was very weird, indescribably weird, Nowitzki tried his best to pounce out and jump up to block the hat, and it really covered Liu Mang!

Harris rushed up to grab the ball like an arrow from the string, and counterattacked directly, Liu Mang chased after him, but he couldn't catch up, and Harris counterattacked and scored two points.

5-2, the Mavericks opened the game with a 3-point advantage!

Nowitzki covered his crotch after the cap, and when he just blocked the hat, he felt the wind under his crotch...... One leg almost hit his brother!

Thanks to the fact that the guy didn't jump too high, Nowitzki couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, what the hell is that bastard going to do? Want to scrap buddy's buddy?

But Liu Mang's side hurts even more, it's really not good!

It's awkward for him to jump on one foot! I haven't practiced this kind of shooting before, his own sniping and conventional shooting, as well as Iverson's stride throwing, Dragic's grabbing and homeopathic layup, Marbury's step-out breakthrough and blocking and pick-and-roll breakthrough, Kobe's high-post back, have covered almost all of his offensive actions, how can he have the kung fu to practice Nowitzki's Golden Rooster independent jump shot!

I tried it just now, but it's not as simple as I imagined, I can't send out the force, and it feels completely different from Nowitzki's shot!

What's wrong? When Liu Mang saw that the Novis Fund chicken was independent, it floated far behind! He felt almost no sense of displacement in the air.

Don't try it for the time being, it is important to win the game, Liu Mang ran back to the half court to receive Maddy's serve, passed the ball back to Maddie, ran to the front court to prepare to play without the ball, he had to see how Nowitzki threw it first, and then study carefully.

After Maddie organized the offense, the Hawks' offense began to flow smoothly, and the Mavericks began to play against each other, playing team offense while playing singles tactics, and the game entered a scorching situation from the start.

Liu Mang mainly focuses on catching and shooting and air cutting, the offensive end is not blind, playing at the level it should be, and at the same time driving the offense of his teammates, creating opportunities for his teammates, so that Maddie and Rasheed Wallace get several spaces for mid-range shots, the Mavericks' defensive rotation of blocking three-point rotation is very fast, but the middle distance is really their weakness, Maddie blocks and comes to the middle distance, and the opponent's defense is suddenly messed up, plus Liu Mang's running three-point threat and air cutting threat, the Hawks' offense plays very smoothly.

The Mavericks played wireless singles on their side, passed the ball on the pack, had a high success rate without packing, and played well on the offensive end.

When the official timeout reached the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 6 points and 1 assist, Maddie scored 5 points and 2 assists, and the Hawks scored 15 points in the second half of the quarter led by the two.

Nowitzki's side scored nine points and started the game with a hot start, with the Mavericks scoring 18 points in the first half and leading the Hawks by three points.

The shooting efficiency is very high, especially Nowitzki, who deserves to be regarded as the strongest offensive power forward in the league, too accurate! Rashid Wallace was blown up by Nowitzki's face frame singles, which was already at his peak!

2 of 3 three-pointers in the half quarter, all singles scored, and the passing ability was good, although he failed to get an assist, but after he attracted Liu Mang's bag, the speed of the pass was very fast, helping the Mavericks tear apart the Hawks' defense, and the Hawks took the lead in calling a timeout at the sixth minute and 27 seconds of the first quarter.

When the official paused, Liu Mang did not return to the bench, but asked the referee to ask for the ball to the middle distance, he found something after Nowitzki singled several times, from Nowitzki's shooting action, Liu Mang found a mistake of his own! He's going to give it a try, and there's still half a quarter to go, and when the official timeout comes back, he'll have to face Nowitzki to score one!
