"Ace, have you heard Marbury's remarks?"

"See, it's funny."

"He said he was going to shake you down in the game, would you be careful about that?"

"Oh."

"He said you're only going to score and nothing else, what do you think about that?"

"I don't think so."

"......" The reporter who came from Los Angeles was speechless, but you should respond! It's not scientific! How is it different from usual, usually this product is not the type of low-key person!

Liu Mang won't respond verbally even if he is killed, and he is going to use the game to speak today!

The main reason is that there are already three tasks pressed on the body, and the level 5 daily tasks that have been determined in advance, Liu Mang also chose to receive them, whatever, anyway, there are too many difficult tasks to press.

However, there are already three, Liu Mang doesn't want to be quick for a while, and then have another difficult task, so the pressure of this game should not be too great.

The Suns are fighting with the Rockets for eighth place in the West, and there is also a battle for Yao Ming and Amare Stoudemire's best rookie, the data of the two are similar, so far they are averaging 11 points and 8 boards per game, Yao Ming's data is slightly advantageous, and there are close to two assists and two blocks, but the best rookie mainly looks at the score, followed by rebounds, and then the record, and now the two have similar data, and the record has become the focus.

Whether it's a playoff spot or the first rookie of the year in franchise history since the NBA and ABA merger, the Suns want it.

So Liu Mang knows that this game is not easy to play, so he won't add extra difficulty, there is no weak team in the playoffs, and it is still a team in the Western playoffs, but now it is difficult, don't make it more difficult.

People who often watch the news will find that when domestic reporters interview abroad, they often put their posture very low, whether it is covering the NBA or European football, they are "expecting answers", while European and American reporters are holding on.

Today, too, the questions asked by domestic reporters were very subtle, but the reporters of Sports Illustrated were still unwilling and continued to fire: "Marbury said that his teammates are better than yours, what do you think of his statement?" ”

This question!

Liu Mang really had to answer!

Liu Mang organized the language, and there were!

"Wow, this is the most level of Marbury's sentence, you look at my group of teammates, one will only steal my three-point shot, more accurate than me, one will only steal my inside scoring opportunities, more accurate than me, one will grab my block every day, everything is done by them, it's useless at all, it's so boring to have this group of guys, I can only lie down and go into the playoffs, by the way, has Marbury ever made the playoffs? I'm not impressed. ”

“……”

And don't play cards according to the routine! The reporter of Sports Illustrated was already desperate for this interview, thinking that Liu Mang would just keep his mouth shut today, but who knew that there would suddenly be a bunch of counterattacks...... It's not good to be mentally prepared!

Moreover, this is clearly a change of way to praise his teammates, and it also hurts Marbury!

But now that he has spoken, the reporter must continue: "Marbury made the playoffs during his time with the Timberwolves. ”

"Timberwolves? Teammate Garnett, right? Our family, Dinah and Garnett, both made the playoffs. ”

"Dinah? Female basketball players? The reporters were stunned that they actually used female athletes to compare with Marbury!

"Hmm...... She could be a basketball player, she's only 7 years old, I don't want to plan her future career, she might like to play basketball. ”

"......" This time the reporters can no longer be described as surprised, this second-grader, if he doesn't speak, he won't speak, and he will be scared to death when he speaks!

……

……

In the locker room, Liu Mang was warming up before the game, first aerobic exercise and then stretching.

Liu Mang really couldn't help but hit back at Marbury, mainly because the media was doing things, in fact, many times, when NBA players saw the opponent's provocative remarks, they still wanted to be a "high-income" group at the beginning, a little self-contained, even if they didn't have any self-cultivation, they also wanted to pretend.

But the reporter provoked trouble in front of him, and when he was talking, the players couldn't help but shoot back.

How many contradictions are bombarded by the media, but when it comes to things related to teammates, Liu Mang can't help but respond, and this aspect can be answered easily.

By the way, he can also taunt Marbury at the end, quoting one of O'Neal's few classic trash words.

Because of the news Marbury interviewed yesterday, the Hawks arrived at the West Jersey Arena today and were surrounded by reporters.

Marbury only played Yao Ming two months ago, and directly shook the opponent, which was still very topical, and it was discussed for a long time at the time, and then it was Yao Ming who asked Barkley to kiss the donkey's buttocks.

At this time, the original heat of the incident had passed, but because of Marbury's rhetoric, this matter was remembered again, and the protagonist was another Chinese player, so it became a hot topic again

As a result, this game, which was not broadcast live in the United States, also became a popular game.

was interviewed and countered Marbury, and Liu Mang estimated that Marbury would be even more angry.

That's a good thing, the more cranky Marbury plays, the easier it is to have a chance to beat him and beat him in every way!

Liu Mang thought about it for a while, in this game, he has to change his playing style!

Scoring, rebounding, and assists are very difficult to surround Marbury in all directions, mainly rebounds and assists, Marbury is not a scoring master, in the seventh season of his career, only 6 times 40+ and 1 time 50+, which is far from Kobe Bryant and Iverson in the same year.

Of course, Marbury is not a player who wins by scoring, he plays more traditionally, and he has a good grasp of breakthrough scoring and distribution.

Liu Mang did not despise Marbury's ability to lead the team because he once had some incorrect understanding of Marbury, which gave him a little bully, a gibbon, a contemporary Jordan, and a penny...... Doesn't he have what it takes to lead the team to the playoffs?

Liu Mang has the most difficult number of assists to surpass Marbury in the game, so he chose to start today, and he is ready to play the whole game, but fortunately, this year, it is not a big deal for the core players to play the whole game.

In terms of rebounding, Marbury is very vegetable, very vegetable, averaging 3.2 rebounds per game in his best year, averaging 22 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists per game this season, and the rebounds are still vegetable, which is not proportional to his physical fitness, and he has no rebounding awareness.

So the main thing is assists!

The general direction was clear, Liu Mang felt that he needed to make more preparations, and looked at the system space, two manic potions, a high-level discord card, and Ben Wallace and Reggie Miller's star cards.

Manic Pharmacy...... Discord Card ......

Reggie Miller's pinnacle card is precious, and it is more appropriate to use it in the playoffs, and the 10 minutes of the decisive game are still crucial.

Ben Wallace's star card can be used.

But it's still not safe, Liu Mang looked at the 17791 superstar value, draw it once!

For the system, Liu Mang now has a thorough understanding, except for the props that play a role in the game such as star cards and special cards, there will be no props that directly improve the strength.

What can improve your strength is the skill card and action pack, and you have to practice the skill of the skill card and the action pack of habit by yourself.

And the fruits of bouncing and strength are not directly improving strength, but when the technique reaches a certain level, it can rely on the improvement of physical fitness to improve strength.

"System Boss, use an intermediate superstar value lottery to designate a special card!"

"The host uses the Intermediate Superstar value to draw 1 time, and there is a one-third chance to designate a special card, consuming 10,000 superstar points ......"

"Bodhisattva bless, the system boss is mighty...... Liu Mang prayed silently in his heart......

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for getting a special card: Phase. ”

"Phase: In an attack, the opponent will mispredict the host's intentions, and the more accurate the prediction, the greater the chance of miscalculation."

What is this?

Liu Mang looked at the explanation of this special card that was a bit twisted, and suddenly failed to understand the effect of this special card, and felt that his IQ was suppressed......

……

……

Want to start!

Liu Mang came to Jason Terry, who was doing stretching, and said that he wanted to start, to Liu Mang's surprise, Jason Terry agreed without hesitation, and the stretch was paused first, and they ran to Coach Kruger together.

Seeing that Jason Terry wants to play the sixth man so much, Liu Mang seems to like to play the sixth man very much, Coach Kruger wonders, why are these two guys so obsessed with the position of the sixth man?

……

After the pre-game warm-up and stretch, the Eagles entered.

Originally, the Hawks and the Suns belonged to the two teams that couldn't be beaten in terms of relationship, the Hawks peaked in the 50s and 80s, and the Suns peaked in the 60s and 90s, completely staggered.

However, because of Liu Mang and Marbury's mutual chokes, as well as the media's encouragement, when the Hawks entered, the audience was booed.

Ratliff as the core of the team's interior, the first to play, then the defender, Prince the second to play, when the third player, that is, Liu Mang, came out, the boos on the scene reached the highest value, but it was Muhammad who entered the back and Rahim who entered the last to play, the boos were general.

Liu Mang felt the boos from the fans at the scene, how could there be those hot eyes that wanted to tear him apart.

Not to mention, a player with a style of play like Marbury, when he plays well, the fans of his team are really very sought after him, if he is traded to the Knicks in the future like history, he once had the title of Son of New York, but then the relationship with Isaiah Thomas collapsed, everything collapsed, Liu Mang remembers that every time Marbury seems to be traded and cut directly by the Knicks in the end, it doesn't seem to be because he played badly, it is basically an off-court factor.

Of course, Marbury himself is not a good stubble, and in the end, the Knicks have a problem with Isaiah Thomas, but Marbury's own problem is even greater, applauding love with underage girls in the parking lot, sucking happy little powder and recording videos on the Internet, if he doesn't die, he won't die, even if there is no Isaiah Thomas, he has changed teams several times in a row, and it can be seen that he will not end well in the NBA.

Defeat him! Although Liu Mang has nothing to do with Marbury, and logically speaking, there is nothing that can make him hate Marbury, but the other party provokes trouble first, then defeat him!

Liu Mang listened to the boos and was a little annoyed, so he raised his hand and plucked his ears with his little finger......

Hearing louder boos at the scene, the Eagles players were quite calm, what else could they do if they weren't calm? My second-grader loves to do things too much, and he's provoking his opponents.

The Eagles players are ready, and some teams may not be able to change teams in the future.

Then the Suns players entered, Liu Mang looked at the starting lineup of Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, Sean Marion, Amare Stoudemire, and Zachary Rice, plus Joe Johnson, the sixth man, the Suns' talent really exploded! Even Zacharidis, the weakest in the starting lineup, is two meters and eighteen meters tall and can't do anything big, but giving Marion and Stoudemire a place makes it easier for these two rebounders to grab rebounds.

In terms of strength, Marbury is indeed inferior to Nash and Kidd, but he is also quite unlucky, every time he is traded before his teammates can grow up, and everyone sees that he has the same lineup as his successor, but does not consider his age.

Of course, his style of play, which is mainly based on sudden points, will not play the role of Nash and Kidd.

When it was time to play the American Empire Anthem, the players of the two teams stood in a row facing each other in their respective halves, a few meters apart.

Since Liu Mang didn't have any feelings about the American Imperial Song, although he respected such a ritual, it was limited to action, he followed and stood on the far left of the queue, and then watched the fans and players feel the ritual of every game.

Liu Mang would quietly look at the others every time at this time, Muhammad and Ferry, people with quite traditional thinking, all sang along, Rahim closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking or singing silently in his heart, Prince was looking around like Liu Mang, more moving than Liu Mang, Jason Terry seemed to be singing the national anthem, but the frequency of that mouth was ...... Is this singing rap?

Suddenly, Liu Mang felt an unkind gaze, looked over, and was not surprised at all, it was Marbury!

Marbury isn't a good guy right now! Liu Mang secretly hated that he was not strong enough, if he had the strength of Kobe, Maddie, and Iverson, how good it would be to beat this guy to accept socialist transformation!

"Stephen Marbury, Ability 88 (Peak), Offense 91, Defense 80, Three-Point 75, Shooting 82, Layup 91, Speed 91, Power 80, Passing 86......"

Looking at Marbury, Liu Mang felt that he was really similar to Francis! Francis is stronger, Marbury has better projection ability, and compared the data and honors of the two, the strength of the two seems to be really half-hearted.

Last year's Suns were so bad that they all got the No. 9 pick, at that time Marbury was mainly in the data, because he couldn't win the ball, so last year, although he felt Marbury's sudden passing ability, but at that time the Suns and the playoffs were 108,000 miles, and this year is different, Marion has become the league's top small forward, and there is Stoudemire with strong combat power and potential, so Marbury's passing is easier than before, Liu Mang and Marbury glanced at each other, Liu Mang obviously felt Marbury's disdain.

Obviously, Marbury didn't look down on Liu Mang, Liu Mang saw this kind of look, ouch, he was so, and immediately replied with a contemptuous look......

After the national anthem, the players of the two teams carried out the final shooting practice, and Liu Mang tried two three-pointers, which felt good.

There is not much communication between the players of the two teams, mainly because the very important players of the two teams are fighting each other with their opponents, the Hawks team is very cohesive, the Suns are playing well this year, and they have a chance to enter the playoffs, and the cohesion is okay,

At the end of the warm-up, both teams started on the pitch.

The race is on!

Ratliff and Zacharidis came to the center of the court to jump the ball.

The referee blew the whistle at the start of the game and threw the ball into the air, Zachary was really tall, two meters and 18 meters tall, the bounce was not good but it was okay, and he beat Ratlif to turn the ball to the back.

The Suns attack first.

knew that he couldn't jump, Liu Mang guessed from the time he saw that the person who jumped the ball of the Suns was a big center and not a bounced exploding Stoudemire, and it was definitely because Zacharidis's jump ball was really good.

Liu Mang quickly retreated to the top of the three-point line and waited for Marbury to come up.

Marbury looked at Liu Mang's defense with disdain, last year he broke through Liu Mang and played casually, he was very direct, what he said to the media before was what he was talking about, he felt that Liu Mang was a scoring brush who could only score and relied on his teammates.

As for the Hawks' poor record, 20-20, he didn't pay attention to the previous Hawks starting from 5-18, not the Hawks players and fans, they all have their own speculations about why the Hawks collapsed so badly before, Marbury's guess is that the Hawks were just lucky last season.

After Marbury advanced to the three-point line, he wanted to crush Liu Mang from the beginning and let everyone know that he was the one who should be chosen as Jordan's successor.

Marbury took two steps beyond the three-point line, slowed down, bent over, and began to dribble under his hip in succession!

Liu Mang has not moved, when Marbury showed off his skills, he did not rashly reach out and steal because of that exaggerated action, whether it is the current Marbury or the Marbury who will be transformed by socialism in the future, he understands that Marbury likes to use this exaggerated action to let the opponent carelessly go up and steal, and then use his skillful ball control to play the opponent around, Yao Ming is because of this, in the first Great Wall VS Giants battle, when he changed the defense of Marbury, he was shaken to the ground, and was ridiculed by the Suns players and fans for a long time.

Marbury's signature continuous crotch dribble! When the fans saw this scene, they all cheered loudly!

Kill that Chinese kid! Suddenly! Shake him down!

That's the cry of Suns fans.

Marbury is a very emotional player, and when he heard the cheers, he was even more excited, and he continued to dribble in front of Liu Mang and burst towards the right side!

Liu Mang was just about to subconsciously take a step back to prevent Marbury's strong burst, and suddenly saw that when Marbury stepped out with his right foot, he did not step on the ground with his foot, but the feeling of quickly tapping with his toes!

Words appeared on Liu Mang's head that others couldn't see: Blocker Level 5 Trigger: Thirty-three percent chance of success!

Liu Mang resisted the action of retreating and defending, and pressed towards Marbury, and sure enough, Marbury tapped his right foot and retracted it.

This was a momentary thing, Marbury was surprised that Liu Mang was not fooled, but the action did not stop, and his right foot kicked the ground with his toes, and with this power, he slapped the ball to the left and broke through to the left! As for Liu Mang's action of pressing up, although Marbury was a little unexpected, he didn't care, and wanted to squeeze Liu Mang away like the last time he fought!

Liu Mang was not afraid to collide with Marbury!

Marbury has a strength of 80, but weighs only 82 kg! With a height of 1.88 meters, his strength at this height is okay, but! Liu Mang is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms! Originally, the strength of 79 was not much worse than Marbury, plus the advantage of weight, and because Liu Mang was close to him, Marbury's explosiveness had no room to be exerted, and Marbury, who wanted to rely on pure strength to knock Liu Mang away, was knocked out by himself!

Now is the time!

him while he's careless!

Liu Mang bullied and pressed up, relying on his arm span advantage to stab the ball out of Marbury's hand with one palm, and then Liu Mang pounced and grabbed the ball!

Liu Mang controls the ball and counterattacks!

As soon as he rushed to the middle line, Marbury caught up, Liu Mang quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, Marbury really caught up, because Liu Mang was not able to trigger the single ride, the speed was not as fast as Marbury when he controlled the ball! After entering the three-point line, Marbury had already stuck to Liu Mang's body, pushing Liu Mang's stomach and not giving Liu Mang a chance to continue to accelerate, and Liu Mang's speed was suppressed.

The Suns' defense is very fast, Marion and Stoudemire are very motivated young players, Marbury was stealed head-on, it seems that there is no chance to defend it, Liu Mang's counterattack is already famous in the NBA, especially Marion and Stoudemire, they don't have Marbury's bad habit of despising opponents and not watching the video, but even so, they still return to defense for the first time.

Returning to defense is valuable, both of them are extremely fast forwards, when Liu Mang rushed to the basket, because of Marbury's interference, he couldn't jump out at the first time, at this time Sean Marion had already rushed to the free throw line, Liu Mang wanted to force a layup at this time, and he was likely to be slapped down!

But...... The Eagles' fast subconscious was not covered, Prince rushed to the top arc, and Liu Mang immediately passed back!

Liu Mang's high lob ball!

The master of the pass level 5 accurately landed the ball and landed in the hands of Prince at the top of the arc.

A pass that draws perfectly to the back of the defence.

It's a pity that not everyone is Jason Terry, seeing that there is no rebounding advantage, Prince hesitated, and shot without receiving the ball, at this time, Marion, who saw the ball flying over his head, immediately pounced to make up for Prince.

Prince, who hesitated for a moment before making a move, saw Marion pounce, he was still a rookie, he was a little panicked, and threw a ridiculous three points that could be seen with the naked eye!

When Raheem rushed to the three-point line, he saw that he was still so far from the basket, and he was already desperate for this rebound, and Stoudemire on the other side rushed into the interior first, and Raheem could only hope that the ball would be scored.

But the miracle didn't happen, the ball hit the basket and bounced.

Seeing Stoudemire rush to the basket, Raheem slowed down because the ball was not bouncing in his direction, but towards Stoudemire.

But......

An unexpected picture has appeared! Liu Mang leaned on his back against Stoudemire, leaned on his arm span, and flew the ball with his fingertips! Dial to the other side of the basket!

After Liu Mang pulled the ball out, he was knocked out of the way.

Raheem saw that he was flying again, slowed down and picked up again, rushing inside and smashing the ball into the basket in the air!

Just as the Prince ball was thrown, Liu Mang just saw Stoudemire rushing in, so he went up to Stoudemire and blocked Stoudemire with his back! Then the ball was pointed!

Rock Solid Level 1 Trigger: There is a 10% chance of perfectly blocking an opponent who is stuck with the host when fighting for rebounds!

1 steal, 1 rebound, 1 assist!

Liu Mang is a surprise! It turns out that this trick is as solid as a rock, and it can still be used like this!

Get 3 data in one attack and make a lot of money! Originally, he wanted to spray Prince to death, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected joy!

Marbury's offensive and defensive rounds are not good! Passing the ball so accurately? The confrontation is not bad either? You can even grab an offensive rebound on Stoudemire's head!

Let's hang this product!

Stoudemire was also surprised, just now he obviously felt that the rebound was close in front of him, and he was not a particularly strong short man in front of him, but at that moment, he couldn't push it!
