Josh Smith dribbles the ball and faces Yao Ming head-on for the first time!

The number of times Josh Smith and Yao Ming have played each other, counting this time, but the third time, there was a play against the Rockets in his rookie season, and Josh Smith did not get a chance to play.

It was the first time Josh Smith had met Yao Ming with the ball on his dribble, and that feeling was ...... He finally knew why James didn't hit the Rockets with a shooting rate of more than 35 percent!

For a ball carrier with average footsteps and no close-range shots, Yao Ming's huge body is too scary!

"Co-authored, Boss Ace ate this monster under the basket just now?" Josh Smith was so frightened that he hugged the ball, and he felt incredible that Liu Mang was able to lean on Yao Ming just now!

But at this time, Josh Smith couldn't pass the ball! Sandwiched between the twin towers of Odom and Yao Ming, Josh Smith and James' vision is not a little bit worse, the two have similar physical talents, but the ball quotient is indeed a little far apart.

Josh Smith forced a throw, but he was not fanned down by Yao Ming and Odom, but he was also ridiculously off, and the ball grazed the right edge of the basket, almost three misses!

Fortunately, at this time, someone appeared on the right side of the three-second zone!

Liu Mang wearing the No. 1 jersey of the Eagles!

When Josh Smith's head was strong, Liu Mang expected this situation, actively rushed into the basket, leaned on Kobe Bryant, who was close to the defense, jumped up when the ball grazed the basket and fell, pushed the ball in the air, and the ball flew back above the basket and fell in.

Liu Mang scored two points with a basket!

2-2 draw!

The Eagles are also boiling the pot!

After more than five minutes, the two teams were tied 2-2!

2 points and 4 boards, Liu Mang didn't expect that one day he would actually rebound more than he scored......

Both teams scored, and the fans felt like they were finally going to start a scoring battle.

However, things didn't go the way the fans had imagined.

When the Lakers attacked, Liu Mang saw Kobe Bryant leaning on Prince to receive the ball on the left side of the free throw line, and immediately rushed up to pinch and attack, directly emptying Fisher, and when his teammates were not in a position where they could rotate defense, he ran to pinch Kobe.

However, Kobe Bryant is now in a hot state, and the trigger of Kobe time, at the same time, is driven by the trigger of another trait.

Stubbornness level 5! This Kobe Bryant's max-level trait will never fade!

Liu Mang rushed up and punched Prince, Kobe Bryant saw the two defending, this is an empty position!

The biggest gap between Kobe and Jordan is that he is more confident than Jordan, he doesn't move his feet to find space to shoot, he turns over directly, faces the two of them, and throws a jumper backwards......

Prince interfered very well this time, he saw Liu Mang coming up, with a strong sense of cooperation, and the main thing to do was not to interfere with Kobe Bryant's shooting, but to press it up and hinder Kobe from jumping!

Kobe Bryant didn't be able to jump completely, although he leaned back, he couldn't get rid of Liu Mang's defense, Liu Mang pounced on Kobe Bryant's left diagonal front, jumped with all his strength, and the fingertips of his right hand with long arms grazed the ball!

The ball flew halfway, because Liu Mang touched the ball, lost the power to fly and fell.

Fisher rushed up to grab the ball, turned and adjusted, and made a mid-range shot......

"Smack"

Liu Mang broke out!

The enhanced block awareness when he used Ben Wallace is now getting better and better, and after landing on the ground, he saw Fisher pick it up, and continued to pounce on Fisher for the first time, Fisher just raised the ball above his head, Liu Mang slapped Fisher from the back of the head to Fisher's anti-aircraft gun shot and raised it to the ball directly above his head!

This slap was so solid that the ball was fanned out of bounds like a cannonball!

2 points, 3 blocks and 4 rebounds!

Liu Mang just finished half a quarter, 6 minutes, and got 3 blocks and 4 rebounds!

These two blocks in a row are amazing!

The fans at the scene were boiling!

There is no score to watch, there is a cap to watch!

Six minutes to a 2-2 draw!

Due to the dead ball, it was just time for the official timeout, and the referee blew the whistle and went into the official timeout.

The TV broadcasters are speechless, it's too miserable!

Liu Mang high-fived his teammates, no matter how much, fight to defend first!

The block interrupted Kobe's touch, and also prevented Fisher's shot who grabbed the offensive rebound, Liu Mang has already fought hard!

……

The official timeout came back, and the two teams continued to grind their defenses.

The physical confrontation is getting bigger and bigger, and the shooting is getting more and more iron.

Relatively speaking, the star is okay, no matter how iron he is, he can occasionally score one, Kobe Bryant has a shooting rate of 35 to 38 percent that hovers back and forth before 38, Liu Mang and Maddie have a shooting rate of more than 30 percent, and they start to score goals while playing, but physical confrontation has a greater impact on role players!

The more iron, the more daring the other party will be, and the greater the confrontation!

The bigger the confrontation, the more iron the role players, and the more difficult it is for several super scorers to shoot.

Kobe Bryant began to throw blindly, and when he was not blocked, Kobe Bryant threw a few blind handfuls, and he could always throw it in.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang, Maddy, and Jason Terry began to take turns playing in pairs, mainly Maddie and Jason Terry alternately played, and Liu Mang was always on the court.

Desperately defending, blindly throwing a few shots, and passing to teammates in the vacant position can't be thrown, so they can only shoot blindly.

On the Lakers' side, they were afraid of Liu Mang's blocking ability in the three-second zone, Liu Mang had 3 blocks in a single quarter in the first quarter, and the Lakers didn't shoot within the free throw line in the back, it was too scary, other teams were okay, the Lakers were really a little stunned when they met Liu Mang, and the higher the opponent in the face, the better Liu Mang's giant killer characteristics would work!

And on the Lakers' side, the defense under the basket is also very good, Yao Ming's interior offense doesn't have a good chance today, as soon as he gets the ball, the Hawks will pinch it, and he can't pull away to shoot, there are a lot of offensive rebounds, he plays more secondary offense under the basket, although the secondary offense is also trapped, but there are more opportunities to grab the rebound and shoot directly, and his personal score has also begun to rise.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks led the Lakers by one point at 15-14, and at halftime, the Lakers outscored the Hawks by one point at 34-33.

The two teams combined for less than 70 points at halftime!

The two teams actually made a lot of shots, the Lakers made 44 shots in the half, and the Hawks shot 46 times in the half, mainly because Yao Ming had 9 rebounds in the half, including 4 offensive rebounds, and Odom had 8 rebounds in the half, including two offensive rebounds, which made them have 6 more shots in the half, and it was precisely by relying on offensive rebounds that the Lakers scored more than 30, and the Lakers scored 9 points in the second offense in the half.

The Lakers had 30 rebounds in the half, which is two-thirds of their season average!

Kobe Bryant scored 13 points, 3 boards, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block in the half, only shooting 4 of 11, Yao Ming had 12 points, 9 boards, 3 blocks and 4 turnovers in the half, and the two scored more than 70% of the Lakers' score!

On the Hawks' side, there were more rebounds, 33 rebounds in the half, Liu Mang had 8 points, 9 boards, 4 blocks and 2 steals in the half, and only 1 assist, and the role players really couldn't shoot, Maddie got 9 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, Jason Terry scored 6 points, the Hawks took a total of 46 shots and only scored 33 points, Rasheed Wallace was 1 of 6 in the half, Korver was 1 of 5, Josh Smith was 0 of 4, Iguodala was 0 of 3, and Mourning was 0 of 2,...... Kwame Brown's 2-of-5 shooting percentage is actually the Eagles' highest shooting percentage! But he also only got four points.

No one thought that the most ironclad game of the season would be the game between the Lakers and the Hawks!

The duel between a player who can play 4 minutes less and score 80 points in a single game and a player who can score 90 points in a single game can actually play a score of 34-33 in the half of the team!

The broadcasters can only analyze how well the defense of the two teams has done and the offensive end ......

This kind of iron battle that is rare in the playoffs, there is really nothing to analyze on the offensive end, the tactics of both teams can't be played, the role players can't shoot, the stars are trapped, and they can only rely on the individual ability of super scorers.

Liu Mang plus Maddie plus Jason Terry almost just had a tie with the drug-addicted lama combination!

However, the score is so low, fans still feel that it is not boring, mainly because of the process.

Steals, blocks, caps, anti-steals...... The best things to look at on the defensive end, all of them!

The Lakers had 7 blocks in the half, the Hawks had 8 blocks, the Lakers had 6 steals in the half, and the Hawks had 5 steals, but correspondingly, the Lakers had 12 turnovers in the half and the Hawks had 13 turnovers in the half......

……

……

3 out of 10 scored 8 points, and at halftime, Liu Mang saw his own data, but he really didn't expect that one day he would be more iron than the little blacksmith......

However, Liu Mang also contributed in other aspects, when there were three centers of Kwame Brown, Rashid Wallace, and Mourning taking turns to grab rebounds with Yao Ming, Josh Smith and others to attract the attention of the other party, Liu Mang grabbed 9 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds, giving the Hawks a rebounding guarantee, otherwise maybe the half-time score was only 30.

This game made Liu Mang experience the feeling of playing the Spurs in the finals last year, and it was even stronger, the Spurs did not have Kobe Bryant and this kind of iron elbow man, and the interior combination composed of focused Odom and Yao Ming was also much stronger than the Spurs' interior defense supported by Duncan alone.

The key is that there are few free throws, which makes Liu Mang's style of play very frustrated, the playoffs blow penalty scale is very unfriendly to players who make fouls, the future king of Jingdezhen, in the Western finals with the Warriors, the average free throws per game have shrunk by nearly half compared to the regular season, and the blowing penalties for making fouls have not been so much in the past few years, Liu Mang faced a more playoff level defense, and it was not good to make fouls, and only scored two free throws of 3.

Don't give a three-point chance!

……

Liu Mang is hurting in the egg here, and the away team is also hurting in the locker room.

Yao Ming played the first half full!

The loss is that Yao Ming basically didn't play singles, and he was always standing in the card position to grab rebounds.

"BIG-YAO, TAKE A BREAK?" The Zen master asked.

"Nope! Keep me on the field! After I died, I had time to rest! ”
