33 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, this is the data that Kobe Bryant has not finished in the third quarter, and the law of rushing continues to shine in the Staples Center.

Kobe Bryant held his arrogant head, his face was full of disdain, there was only a two-point difference left, this time he attacked, he wanted to tie the score or even overtake!

In terms of individual scoring, Kobe Bryant's 33 points and Liu Mang's 37 points are obviously slightly lost, but from the perspective of the impact on the game, Kobe Bryant beat Liu Mang today, which made Kobe feel very happy.

The official timeout was coming to an end, and the Hawks laid out tactics, mainly defensive tactics, and sent the strongest lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rashid Wallace, and Ratliff.

On the Lakers' side, Malone and Fisher, Fox finally got off and played long enough, Payton, Kobe, Devin George, Wang Zhizhi, O'Neal's lineup.

After a timeout, the Lakers attacked.

The Lakers' offensive tactics were adjusted, and after Payton advanced to the frontcourt, he didn't give the ball to Kobe Bryant at the first time, and Kobe Bryant didn't ask for the ball when he went to the left midfield, but was there to attract the defense.

O'Neal is in an active position on the inside, and since the first quarter, although O'Neal has been on the court, he has been resting and playing, for now! At the end of the third quarter, after relying on Kobe Bryant to close the score to only two points, O'Neal was almost rested, and he was about to start to exert his power!

Payton moved to the right, O'Neal brutally put Ratliff behind him on the inside, Payton dribbled sideways with his right hand, and pointed at O'Neal with his left hand, looking like he wanted to hang inside.

Payton was ready to pass the ball, but was a bit surprised to see the Hawks defending!

It's completely different from the possible problems predicted when the team's tactics were arranged! Not even the expected Eagles' various situations that hindered the inside of the cross did not appear!

The Eagles defended a joint defense!

It's not the kind of joint defense that defends the inside, but the Hawks except for Ratliff who is fighting with O'Neal for his life, the other four people guard the four people on the outside of the Lakers to death!

It's not a sticker defense, it's Liu Mang, Rahim, and Rashid Wallace who are all ready to rotate the defensive perimeter, Prince sticks to Kobe Bryant alone, and the other three are ready to block the air cut and pinch the outside singles, Liu Mang's point makes Payton feel hateful the most, and he directly took a big step back to cover Kobe.

Payton can't help it, he averages 0.5 three-pointers per game, and the shooting rate is only 30.7 percent, and the opponent doesn't care at all.

The outside line was completely blocked, and Payton himself had no three-point ability to break through Liu Mang...... Last year he was very confident, this year the state is so bad, he doesn't even have confidence, it seems that there is only one option, and it is the best choice, but Payton always feels that something is wrong, it seems that the pass is a little too easy.

But Payton still passed in, and they just wanted O'Neal's singles.

Payton hoisted the ball to O'Neal, after O'Neal received the ball, he turned to the left sideways, Ratliffe couldn't bear it at all, and was knocked out of half of his body, O'Neal turned around to get space, and raised his small hook hand high!

O'Neal's strongest is not actually hitting the human shut, there are actually only a few in that game, and his strongest is the small hook hand after turning!

Just as O'Neal turned around and picked up the ball from the bottom to the top to hook the ball out, he just lifted the ball, at this height, Ratliff was stuck and couldn't jump up to block it, but Ratliff's prediction of shooting was really good, and he hammered O'Neal directly with his left fist on his right arm!

"Beep......

Rao was O'Neal, and it was impossible to throw the ball out in such a situation, and the offense was disrupted by Ratlleaf, but the whistle came just in time, and Ratliff fouled and O'Neal made two free throws.

was punched, although it was only hammered in the arm, but O'Neal was immediately angry, and when he walked to the free throw line, he pushed Ratliff in the chest: "Blue collar, you are in the way of the superstar." ”

Ratliff immediately slapped O'Neal's hand away: "All-Star bench, this is not the way you should go!" ”

Ratliff is not cowardly in the face of O'Neill!

The two glared at each other, did not continue to argue, both of them were poked in the sore spot, and it was all true, so they simply shut up.

Small skirmishes, not expanded, such skirmishes are all too common for the Lakers and Hawks, the most star-studded teams in the East and West, this kind of skirmishes are normal.

O'Neal walked to the free throw line, this different man is so different, someone else's shooting arm was hurt, and it may be affected to cause the free throw to be abnormal, but this year's free throw shooting rate is only 45 percent, and from time to time there is a two-free throw all-iron O'Neal, the first free throw actually scored!

Maybe it hurt, so that O'Neal's shot was not thrown out according to the feeling he thought he could enter, but went in......

However, O'Neal returned to normal on the second free throw, and the thrown ball will graze the front of the basket, touch the basket and bounce vertically to the basket.

Ratliff easily pressed Wang Zhizhi behind him, and Rashid Wallace easily picked up the defensive rebound.

The Eagles fight back!

Rasheed Wallace immediately threw the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, Kobe and Payton had already returned to defense, Liu Mang rushed across the middle line after receiving the ball, Kobe Bryant was already waiting on the three-point line, Liu Mang did not stop, but continued to sprint, when Liu Mang rushed outside the three-point line, Kobe Bryant immediately pasted up.

This mad dog! The defense is too hard! Will it give you a raise? Don't you see other superstars who are defending from the outside, the better the offense, the worse the defense?

After Liu Mang was pressed by Kobe, he forced a breakthrough under Kobe's squeezing, and was forced by Kobe to enter the inside line from the right side, but, because Liu Mang was rushing over, although Kobe Bryant forcibly let Liu Mang's breakthrough route change, but he failed to limit Liu Mang's speed, Liu Mang rushed to the right side of the three-second area, forced jump, Payton and Kobe both pounced on Liu Mang, Peyton guarded against Liu Mang's weird European step landing point, Kobe jumped up to block Liu Mang's strong shot, although the relationship between the two was not good, but the cooperation was quite tacit, As a super defensive titan who was selected for the defensive team at the same time a few years ago, Payton is old and can't keep up with the defensive awareness, but the play is really good.

However, Liu Mang did not shoot after jumping, but passed the ball back to the middle!

Raheem followed up and received the ball and slashed into the basket with one hand.

“RiderCharge！” Raheem yelled at Kobe Bryant after a dunk landed, and the Hawks home fans used the most adjectives to cheer for the Cavalry tactics!

Compared to the original version of the cavalry charge, although the cavalry tactics are no longer the main offensive option, there is more variability! Because Liu Mang's threats in all aspects are already very great!

Obviously, when encountering a team like the Hawks, the opponent is very angry, but I am really used to it, in the past two years, the Lakers have only won 1 time against the Hawks in the regular season, or Kobe Bryant won by a storm, and it is not once or twice that they have encountered Raheem or Jason Terry who roared like this.

After Kobe Bryant sent the ball to Payton, he picked up his jersey and ran to the court, obviously ready to be ruthless, seeing the Hawks' Ratliff send O'Neal to the free throw line with a rough foul, Kobe Bryant thought that the Hawks were going to shrink the defense, and this was his scoring opportunity!

Looking at Kobe Bryant's jersey, if it was in the past, Liu Mang would definitely be a little jealous or even frightened, but now...... Liu Mang really wants to give a good suggestion to the little blacksmith: if you eat too much sweat, you will kill the Y chromosome!

As soon as Kobe Bryant arrived in the frontcourt, he was stuck by Prince, he leaned on Prince in the middle distance, just waiting for Payton to come over and catch the ball single, he couldn't wait!

70 to 73, the opponent actually opened up a 1-point difference, Kobe Bryant was angry! I really want to come back!

However, as soon as Kobe Bryant stuck to Prince, he saw the bastard who made him angry, approaching him a little, with a posture that he was about to come over and wrap up!

Raheem didn't care too much about Devin George, in addition to Rashid Wallace blocking Wang Zhizhi's catch-and-shoot route, Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, three-person defense, focusing on Kobe Bryant, secondary defense Devin George's air cut and Payton's mid-range shot!

Kobe Bryant thought it was incredible!

Watching O'Neal angrily and Ratliff get stuck in hand-to-hand combat, no one goes to flank and no one cares, what kind of defense is this!

After Payton pushed in, he saw that O'Neal had an easy shooting opportunity, and his own outside four were targeted to death by the infinite change of defense of the Hawks' four outside meat grinders, and Payton had the same idea as Kobe.

What is to be done!

Although the Hawks did not press the defense, the Lakers' outside four felt airtight!

The only gap is the air hanging inner line!

Payton didn't understand, but he continued to follow the tactics and hung it to O'Neal, O'Neal was ruthless this time, he originally wanted to use a small hook to solve the battle, but the last offense was violently fouled by Ratliffe, and he was blocked with an All-Star bench, O'Neal received the ball and wanted to hit Ratlif directly!

Ratliff really can't stop it, no one in the league can block the forced impact of O'Neal with enough physical fitness, O'Neill knocked Ratliff back, slapped the ball hard, turned around to catch the ball and jumped to dunk!

It's unstoppable! It is impossible to cover it, O'Neill's height of two meters and one six, plus the bounce that is extremely inconsistent with his figure, Ratlif can't cover it!

However, as soon as O'Neal lifted the ball, another sharp pain hit his right arm, and Ratliff slapped both big hands on O'Neal's right arm at the same time, pulling O'Neal down and fouling again!

Fouled again by violence!

O'Neal almost didn't stand firm after landing, the referee's whistle came in time, suppressing O'Neal's anger, O'Neal didn't agree with Ratlif's lips, this guy can get the block king, not the kind of guy who can be affected by verbal threats or even action threats.

Ratliff also raised his hand for the first time, and the referee whistled the penalty.

Add one foul in the first half and Ratleaf has already committed three fouls, and as soon as the whistle blew, the Hawks made a substitution, bringing in Kwame Brown for Ratleaf.

This time O'Neal was not so lucky, his arm was beaten painfully, and he was beaten twice in a row, and this time he directly came with two free throws.

Rasheed Wallace grabbed the defensive rebound again, and the Hawks counterattacked again!

This time, the Lakers' defense was much faster, Wang Zhizhi and Devin George didn't go to the card position, O'Neal threw out the two of them immediately retreated, O'Neal also retreated immediately after throwing out, and he didn't have much confidence to throw free throws.

Seeing that there was no chance to fight back, Liu Mang ran back from the middle line to catch the ball, pressed the rhythm, and played slowly.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant is now more motivated to defend Liu Mang and more confident than when the Hawks played the Sloan system, the Hawks team has better defense, and the defensive efficiency is the first in the league, but the offensive end is very single, that is, Liu Mang's various singles points, Kobe Bryant is confident that he can defend Liu Mang alone.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and when he saw the excitement in Kobe's eyes, he knew the evil thoughts in this guy's heart, and immediately beckoned to block and dismantle.

Kwame Brown ran out, and before he could get to the position, Liu Mang accelerated from the right side!

Kobe Bryant is ready to block and dismantle, the blocking and dismantling of the rest of the Hawks is too far behind Boozer's blocking and dismantling, Kobe can keep up with Liu Mang around the blocking and dismantling, but I thought that Liu Mang was actually strong!

Kobe Bryant immediately caught up.

Liu Mang took a big step forward, seeing Kobe Bryant's slow action and a beat to pounce, Liu Mang immediately chose to retreat, Kobe's reaction and body balance are really strong, his waist is too good, his core strength is stable, and he turned back in time to catch up with Liu Mang, but Kwame Brown just rushed to the right side of the top arc at this time and blocked Kobe Bryant!

O'Neal couldn't follow quickly, Liu Mang popped up behind the left, came to the top arc outside the three-point line, adjusted it, and shot three points in the open position!

Easy hits!

76 to 70!

The Eagles stretched the margin to 6 points again!

It's the Lakers offense again, and now what the Hawks' purpose is, Kobe Bryant and Payton have guessed.

Before they attacked twice in a row, the Lakers were not able to score, Ratliff fouled twice in a row, twice sent O'Neal to the free throw line, and the key thing is that O'Neal only made 1 of 4 free throws!

O'Neal continued to fall into the low post, and O'Neill saw Kwame Brown, who was younger and more irritable behind him, and didn't even make a foul move, and didn't want to catch the ball anymore!

It's so obvious!

The Eagles' defensive strategy is to block the outside line and give the inside a chance to play alone, but they don't let O'Neal really shoot, and every time O'Neal wants to shoot, he will hit directly!

This is not a shark cut, the Hawks have already committed 4 fouls when Ratliffe violently fouled O'Neal for the first time, and they did not foul directly, but waited until O'Neal made a foul again, and did not disrupt the rhythm of the court, but just destroyed O'Neal's strong dunk and small hook.

But that's it, O'Neill didn't dare to catch the ball! Today's free throws sucked!

Moreover, even if O'Neal asks for the ball, Payton doesn't dare to pass it now!

This time Peyton chose to break through! It's just that the speed is really slow enough, as soon as he entered the three-point line, Liu Mang immediately defended in place, and Payton immediately passed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who leaned on Prince.

Kobe Bryant couldn't help it and wanted to play single!

O'Neal actually scored only 1 point on two offenses, and they were all perfect single opportunities, and what made Kobe Bryant most unhappy was O'Neal's 4 free throws to score one!

This made Kobe dissatisfied with O'Neal again, and O'Neal's hand was not that he couldn't practice it, and the small hook hand was so slippery, but he just didn't want to take some time to practice free throws, and Kobe's laziness and dissatisfaction with O'Neal once again occupied the main emotion.

Just when Kobe Bryant received the ball and wanted to play with a high back, Raheem let go of Devin George and clamped Kobe!

is quite decisive, without any dragging, Kobe Bryant was tightly sandwiched by the two, and the strong mid-range shot flew directly out of the bottom line with a hollow outside the basket!

O'Neill is fighting with Kwame Brown in hand-to-hand combat, who would have thought that he didn't touch the basket!

Raheem, Prince, the two defensive giants, slapped Kobe to death in the middle distance!

These three rounds have become another turning point in the game!

The Hawks' defense, the Lakers have no way to crack it at all!

Kobe Bryant can't pass the ball if he wants to now, Devin George is really bad, Wang Zhizhi is a fixed-point pitcher, he was stared at to death, Payton only scored two points today, 1 of 7 shots, almost no sense of existence, even if Kobe Bryant wants to incarnate a reasonable department now, there is no way, whether he wants to or not, he has fallen into a situation of one or two!

The Hawks' defensive strategy may not be of much use to other teams, but for the Lakers, a strong team with obvious weaknesses, the Hawks' defense is too inexplicable!

At least for a short period of time, the Lakers can't think of a way to crack it at all, and maybe they can't even think of a way to crack it for a month or two!

And this defense is basically not replicable!

Other teams have the same single-defense awareness interior as Ratliff and Kwame Brown, and there are probably only a few players, Duncan, Garnett, and it is estimated that they can't find a third, and if they push forward two years, Mutombo is also one.

However, these players are the interior core of their respective teams, especially Duncan and Garnett, in addition to being the defensive core, they are also the offensive core! They don't dare to pay so many fouls to play this style of play, they can only fight hard, and fight hard with OK, it's too difficult, as strong as Duncan, after Kobe Bryant grew up, he only won once in the past three years, or after the Lakers won three consecutive championships, the whole team has aged seriously before winning once.

But the Hawks are different, whether it's Ratliffe or Kwame Brown, although they are also important, but the Hawks are not left without them and can't play, because they also have a Rashid Wallace who is also a center! So Ratliff and Kwame Brown can do that in this style of play.

This defensive method is the defensive strategy of the Pistons who brutally slaughtered the Lakers 4-1 in the Finals!

Block the outside line, let O'Neal play alone, and then use Campbell, Oku, and Ben Wallace to sabotage O'Neal's offense repeatedly, and the Pistons did even better, except for Ben Wallace who wanted to save face and Rutlif tried his best to prevent it and finally couldn't prevent it before committing a foul, Campbell and Oku both fouled O'Neal directly when he received the ball, forcing the Lakers not to dare to play inside, so they could only let Kobe Bryant single on the outside!

The same goes for the Hawks, with Ratliffe, Kwame Brown, and Boozer taking turns to foul whenever O'Neal catches the ball and forces Bryant to single.

And the Lakers' outside singles are powerful, or can beat the Hawks' outside line, and now only Kobe Bryant.

Because the Hawks' outside defense is obviously stronger than the original Pistons!

The defense of Liu Mang, Prince, and Raheem is obviously stronger than Billups, Prince, and Hamilton!

Especially the pinching of Prince and Rahim, Kobe Bryant suddenly went from violent to locked, and there was only a time difference between an official timeout!

Playing and fighting, Kobe's stubborn characteristics are back, if you can't shoot a ball, you will continue to shoot, and if you can't shoot, you will keep shooting.

By the end of the third quarter, Kobe Bryant, who had a shooting percentage of 49 percent, fell to 41 percent while playing!

And Liu Mang's side, constantly borrowing his teammates' blocking and dismantling offense, Kwame Brown's body is really good, the awareness of blocking and dismantling needs to be strengthened, but the enthusiasm and physical fitness make up for it a lot, although Liu Mang has become a lot looser after strengthening the confrontation with the two teams because of Kobe's more and more crazy defense, and the shooting efficiency is not high, but it is much higher than Kobe!

In the last five minutes of the third quarter, the Lakers wanted to fight angrily when they saw that they were about to overtake the score, but they didn't expect that in these five minutes, the Lakers only scored 5 points!

In addition to Kobe Bryant's more and more crazy throwing, he threw 1 of 7 plus two free throws to score 4 points, and only O'Neal scored 1 point!

The Eagles relied on Liu Mang to score 6 points on 2-of-5 shooting, and others counterattacked to score 8 points, scoring 14-5 in more than 5 minutes to finish the third quarter!

74-85, the Lakers not only failed to narrow the difference, but were stretched to 11 points!

Liu Mang scored 43 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists in the third quarter! The assists also caught up with Kobe's 8!

……

In the fourth quarter, apparently the Lakers didn't have a good solution to replace O'Neal? Obviously impossible, then it would really be Kobe Bryant's team alone.

Although Malone can help people block and dismantle without the ball to get some vacant opportunities after coming up, Kobe Bryant has exploded again and returned to the state of refusing to take the initiative to help his teammates make the ball in the first half.

The Eagles seized the opportunity, came up in the fourth quarter, and played a 13-3 in more than 4 minutes, and the difference came to 21 points, directly putting the game into garbage time.

The Lakers were blinded by the Hawks' sudden outburst of extremely ferocious and even completely abnormal defense, and they didn't even react to why this happened, and they were killed!

Even if it's a Zen master, there is no way at all, it really can't find a way to deal with the Hawks' iron bucket formation, this kind of defense is completely suicidal, if O'Neal's free throws are a little more accurate, and there is a stable shooting rate of more than sixty percent, the Hawks will not dare to play like this, like Duncan last season, with a free throw shooting rate of about 67 percent in the second half of the season, the opponent will not dare to use shark slashing tactics against the Spurs.

However, O'Neal really doesn't have that kind of free throw ability!

And, the most important thing is that the Lakers have no other good people except for the Big Four plus Fisher, Fox, and Wang Zhizhi, Devin George is the second small forward, and there are only 8 people in rotation when they are full, and there are not too many better options!

In the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, the Zen master adjusted several times, but the Eagles were so determined to defend it, and the Zen master really couldn't think of a way.

This is the Larry Brown bucket that he didn't come up with in the whole Finals, how could he think of a solution in one game?

After the Lakers called a timeout, they announced their surrender, replaced the main players, and replaced them with a water cooler lineup.

The Hawks did not continue to start, and sent Jason Terry, who was very tired and tired today, to press the lineup, with Korver, Barnes, Mohammed, and Kwame Brown.

In the remaining 7 minutes, both teams had no defense, and Jason Terry was so sad and angry with a strong shot, and it was he who was injured every time Mao......

In the end, Liu Mang scored 46 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists on 17-of-37 shooting, helping the Hawks beat the Lakers 112-95 and won the first victory after the All-Star Weekend!

With three straight wins, the record improved to 44-8, and the Hawks continued to soar!

……

Liu Mang wants to win this game, although because of the early exposure of the defensive strategy this time, it may be possible for the Lakers to come up with a solution, any defensive tactics, there is always a way to break it, otherwise it will be enough to build a team towards the Pistons or the Spurs' grinding style of play.

It's something that you have to come back to if you want to get it.

Moreover, the timeliness of this defensive system is only this season, and when the defense can't be used, Raheem and Prince's defense of Kobe Bryant in the second half today, nine out of ten will be directly whistled for fouls.

Expose the tactics in advance, Liu Mang is not too distressed, because in addition to wanting to establish a psychological advantage in the regular season and not being scared by the Lakers' giant lineup like other teams, the main point is that the OK combination is too terrifying when it cooperates well!

Kobe Bryant's nerves are different from ordinary people, he does hate O'Neal, which is no problem, but he is even more proud of the invincible dominance of his and O'Neal's combination, if he relies on the tacit cooperation with O'Neal again, it may be useless to disagree, this guy has a nervous problem.

Therefore, even if there are still many months left in this tactic and the Lakers have enough time to study this defensive strategy, Liu Mang must win this game, in order to make Kobe Bryant completely lose confidence in OK and make Kobe Bryant want to do it alone.

Liu Mang faintly feels that because of the influence he brings, the trend of OK to fall apart is not as violent as imagined, if they really work together, suppress the contradictions, and do not disband, even if they don't get along, wait until the Lakers give Fox, Devin George and others the middle class contract expires after two consecutive championships, get rid of the middle class trap, and have salary space to rebuild the team, and O'Neal, who has a few years of combat effectiveness, and Kobe, who is about to enter his peak at the age of 26, have a new, younger and better helper, It's not that hard to get to the top of the NBA again.

The Lakers' salary space is now worse and is completely limited by the middle-class contracts given out for three consecutive summers after winning the championship, and middle-class contracts often inevitably turn into garbage contracts in the end, which has basically become a law of the NBA, known as the middle-class trap, and the team that falls into it the deepest, very interesting, is the Spurs, every time they win the championship, they will give the middle class out to keep the role players who want to leave the team, but with a big contract, the status of the role players will fall off a cliff, but if you don't stay, you can't, They can't recruit other role players, they are all veterans, and they don't have the space, so they can only give the middle class exceptions.

However, the Spurs have Duncan, who can carry it and win the championship in a year, and the Lakers can theoretically rely on the strength of the OK combination to carry it, and they are in Los Angeles, which is very attractive to many players, but the original Lakers team has not been able to withstand this period, and the contradictions of OK have already collapsed.

But now, because the Hawks are getting more and more irritable year by year, in addition to the most intuitive pressure of the Eastern team is about to explode, the two strongest teams in the West, the Spurs and Lakers, have also begun to have fears, although the contradictions of OK continue to improve, but in today's game, at least when playing the Hawks, OK is willing to continue to cooperate.

That's not a good thing for the Eagles.

Now Kobe Bryant is obviously dissatisfied with O'Neal again, and publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with O'Neal's laziness and refusal to practice free throws after the game, and the contradiction between the OK combination has escalated again.

After the game, when the Hawks were in the visiting team's locker room for physiotherapy, Liu Mang couldn't help but laugh wickedly after hearing about it, and his teammates who were escalating the conflict of the Lakers OK combination in a round couldn't help but shiver.

The teammates obviously felt a chill behind them, the youngest boss of the team, must have something bad in mind!

Luckily, it's a teammate!

Liu Mang will never admit that it was the pressure brought to him by the OK of this game that made him want to bring the Lakers to a collapse, absolutely not! Liu Mang definitely didn't admit this, he just wanted to see Kobe Bryant's carnival alone, and it was definitely not out of jealousy......
