29. Shamelessness is king
Before Liu Mang could say anything, Emmanuol came up and explained: "Coach, we are praying for our teammates, hoping that they can beat the opponent. ”
Liu Mang really wanted to slap Emmanu Orhu when he heard this, if this tease was not explained, this matter might have passed, and this explanation might as well not be explained.
Pray to your sister!
You can win the game with prayer, what do you need to do!
Jason Terry, who had just made a mistake and returned to the bench with a gloomy face, happened to hear Emmanuor's words and glanced at Liu Mang angrily.
However, unexpectedly, Coach Kruger's face was slightly softened, probably because he felt that Liu Mang did not deliberately cause chaos, and if he thought about it carefully, no one could have imagined that closing his eyes and praying would actually make the fans restless together.
What's even more surprising is that Liu Mang was not punished, but Coach Kruger said: "Ace, don't do those useless things, get ready to play, replace Dean, your task is to guard Houston!" ”
Although Jason Terry on the side was horizontal and had a stinky face, he also said: "It's better to play well than to do those useless periods." ”
Obviously, although Jason Terry was very upset that Liu Mang could snatch the camera away while sitting stupidly, he actually felt that Liu Mang was really praying, because all five people on the bench were "praying".
Depend on!
Liu Mang thinks these Americans are too straightforward! I really believe it!
Liu Mang immediately said: "I know, I just can't help but pray for my teammates." ”
"Okay, don't do this next time," Coach Kruger was very satisfied with Liu Mang's mistake and corrected it, "Ace, Jason, Rahim, Ira, Nazr you play, Dean and Theo rest first, we have to pay attention after playing, the other party wants to speed up, we press down as much as possible, Ace, you pay attention to open up space, Jason, you can't beat that madman, give it to Ace, Ace, you deal with it yourself......"
Playing so early? The official timeout for the first quarter hasn't even arrived!
A blessing in disguise?
That's!
Liu Mang was very surprised, but he looked like a good baby listening to the arrangement.
At this time, the voice of the system sounded in Liu Mang's head.
"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for achieving the achievement of Thicker Than the Wall and rewarding 2000 points for the Rogue value. ”
“…… What do I mean by system? What do you mean by that? It's only 100 points if you are famous, and if you make Iverson a lone wolf, it's only 1,000 points, and it's 2,000 points if it's thick? ”
"The rogue value is mainly obtained by the influence of the host, according to the system, the host's influence this time is greater than getting 10 points on Francis's head, and Allen Iverson is already destined to embark on the road of a lone wolf, the host is only one year in advance, according to the career trajectory of Allen Iverson measured by the system, entering the lone wolf stage one year ahead of schedule does not constitute much impact, and no one will count it on the host's head, without much influence."
“……”
Liu Mang found a problem, the more shameless it seems, the more shameless it is, after doing it, the hooligan value will grow rapidly!
This system ...... Sure enough, I didn't have a good heart!
But! This rascal value is coming so fast! Liu Mang really had the urge to become a hooligan!
……
After the timeout, the players from both sides returned to the field.
The Knicks, despite being the league's No. 1 salary league this year, are paying the all-time highest salary of more than $30 million over the luxury tax threshold, totaling $82 million.
However, the aunts Larry Johnson and Marcus Camby, who are holding a salary of nearly 24 million, are sitting behind the Knicks bench in suits, and Luke Longley, another Bulls dynasty pension star with a 7 million contract, has long become a big fat man, living a pension life with a three-year 18 million contract from the Knicks.
The Eagles brought on Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell and Mohammed.
The Knicks made no substitutions and continued to play five starts.
According to the average playing time of Alan Houston last season last season, Liu Mang knows that Alan Houston is so good at running now, why did he run so much in two years that his knees were broken, and he was completely tired! It stands to reason that his running mid-range shooting style should be the same as the Pistons' mask man Richard Hamilton for at least fifteen or sixteen years, Hamilton was forced to retire in his final year if he didn't have a serious back injury, and his combat effectiveness was still good, and Hamilton was 37 years old before retiring, and he still averaged 10 points per game with a shooting rate of more than forty percent.
Knicks offense.
It was the first time Liu Mang played so early and seemed very active, leading Alan Houston directly from halftime.
Coach Kruger on the sidelines is also very satisfied with Liu Mang's enthusiasm, the previous Dean Grove style of play was too old-fashioned, decent, and it was easy for Alan Houston to run out of the vacant position, although Liu Mang was a little reckless directly on top, but there was always a need for something fresh to break the current deadlock, although the Hawks had the upper hand in the situation, but the score was 12-11 after 5 minutes, and the Hawks were only one point ahead, and now it was the Knicks offense, that is, the Hawks did not have an advantage.
Alan Houston looked at the change to a yellow-skinned imp who looked too immature to defend himself, his face showed disdain, and he accelerated to rush inside, and then turned around the baseline and then turned around to get around the baseline again, wanting to use speed and use the position of opponents and teammates to run out of space for himself.
This is clearly looking down on people, and he doesn't even want to block and dismantle without the ball.
Alan Houston has such self-confidence because he really looks down on Liu Mang.
But!
When Alan Houston went around the pile from the baseline and came out shouting for the ball and felt that he had run out of the empty space, he found that the yellow-skinned imp was still following him! And there is no expression of being tired, but a look of excitement!
How could it be! Didn't he get blocked by the man under the basket just now?
Alan Houston's expression was full of surprise!
Alan Houston just cared about the running position, and didn't look at Liu Mang's amazing speed at all!
Indeed, when Alan Houston went around the baseline just now, he made perfect use of the four people under the basket and opened up the distance between Liu Mang, but Liu Mang bypassed the basket from the upper line of the reasonable collision area and then spared it back, still faster than Alan Houston!
Liu Mang is now excited!
When I was opposite Iverson, I didn't feel how powerful 91's speed was, and when I trained with my teammates, I didn't see how fast 91 was, because except for Jason Terry, Liu Mang's point guard was originally the fastest in the Hawks, and the Hawks' outside talent was very mediocre except for Jason Terry and Raheem, and there would be no better talent than Liu Mang, at least for now.
The current opponent is Alan Houston, who is a scoring guard and even a small forward, Alan Houston has never been a physical man, even if he can run, he only has good endurance, and he is also 31 years old, Liu Mang has a great advantage in speed!
The average speed of the NBA outside line is about 83, and the average speed of the outside line who can play the starting line is about 86, Liu Mang will have a clear advantage in the face of most people's speed!
Alan Houston felt like he was being slapped in the face with his shouts for the ball just now and his arrogant performance of being confident that he had run out of position!
At this time, the ball had already passed, and the angry Alan Houston shook twice, no possession, no passing, in fact, Alan Houston was very average except for the mid-range shot, averaging 19+2+2 per game in his career so far.
Alan Houston opts for a dry mid-range shot!
Liu Mang couldn't jump up, and the other party really wanted to shoot him and couldn't interfere too much, but Liu Mang was quite impressed by the defense of Mr. Sean Battier, the president who entered the NBA in the same year as him, when he watched the Rockets game, and he didn't go to block it, he couldn't jump, and he stretched out his hand in front of Alan Houston's face for the first time, and he almost poked it.
Anyone will subconsciously avoid what comes to their face...... Kobe Bryant doesn't count, Kobe's reflex arc is too long......
Alan Houston's head was crooked, and so was the work on his hands.
Alan Houston is familiar with the baseline catch-and-shoot iron!
Muhammad took the rebound hard and immediately handed it to Jason Terry.
The Eagles fight back!
Jet launch!
Jason Terry can be so proud is not without two brushes, rushing to the front court to meet the madman Sprewell who is chasing back from the defense to force a three-point shot and cause a foul, and the ball is in!
3+1!
"Jets! Biubiubiu...... "Liu Mang subconsciously made a celebratory voice after scoring three points in the last world.
“biubiubiu? Haha, Ace, your celebration is so funny. Muhammad, who was still under the opponent's basket, heard Liu Mang's voice and smiled.
The Hawks have been bitten to death by the Knicks before, and they are very uncomfortable to play, but now a 3+1 is played, and the point difference will come to 5 points, and the advantage will be established!
The Hawks were happy, and the Knicks were angry.
Alan Houston chased after the referee and complained, "That guy was going to poke me in the eye just now!" I dodged it and didn't shoot, he's a foul! Foul! ”
The referee was also very helpless, he saw that Liu Mang had that kind of action, but people didn't touch you! And it touched your face, and it didn't violate your shooting cylinder, it didn't hit your hand, it didn't even hit your body. The rules are like this, you can't blow fouls, the referee can only avoid Alan Houston, and then give Liu Mang an evaluation in his heart as "a rookie who likes to cause trouble".
From the last game against 76ers, Liu Mang made a groundbreaking style of play, and the referees marveled at how good this kid was at using the rules in the later meeting, and this time again!
Unfortunately, Alan Houston singled Liu Mang just now, because Liu Mang was the first defensive player of the Hawks to keep up with Alan Houston in this game, so the big screen gave a close-up, and then I happened to see Liu Mang's "shameless" behavior of defending with poke eyes.
"I'll go ......" The strange feeling of the fans at the scene after Liu Mang started playing the regular season came again......
This shameless defense is our rookie's?
My God! What kind of rookie did we choose!
Just when Liu Mang was making up his mind to defend Alan Houston and cheering himself to take good precautions, the voice of the system came again......
"Congratulations to the host for achieving the title of Despicable Defender, rewarding 1000 ...... Rogue value"
