333. What a Pippen!

"The Postman Goes to Work: Fouls Scott Pippen off the field and says 'The Postman is at work' to Scott Pippen when he can't continue to play. The mission rewards 10,000 Superstar Points. ”

Looking at the details of this task, Liu Mang didn't expect that the level 5 task would fall on Pippen!

And this task is also very difficult!

Who can catch a man-made foul and send an opponent out of the game?

Let the king of Jingdezhen can't do it!

The most important thing is that this Pippen can't defend himself too much as a point guard! Pippen is no longer the best defensive small forward in the league, since last season, Pippen's defensive attitude has been far worse than before, he has never pursued any big goals, MVP He was not at that level at his peak, he couldn't wear the championship ring with one hand, and he also held a big contract of 73 million in 5 years, so there was nothing to pursue.

If the 98-99 season and the 99-00 season hadn't maintained a first defense and a second defense in the past two years, it is estimated that Pippen would have been said to be a garbage contract, and Pippen's data in the 98-99 season has shrunk by a quarter.

The '99-00 season was Pippen's last season and was considered a first-class player, with Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace, Flying Squirrels and Steve Smith forming a sharp five-man team to reach the Western Conference finals.

After facing the Lakers' failure to compete for a ticket to the Finals, Pippen was relaxed.

It was only 11+5+5 last season, and this year it is about the same, and it is impossible to continue to get worse, and it is not good.

This can be seen from the last time Liu Mang and the Trail Blazers played, Pippen clocked in and generally got 10+5+5 to be finished, and his physical condition was okay, after all, he was not yet 32 years old, and he was a hard-working player, and there were no injuries.

He is not playing on the offensive end, and it is unlikely that he will fall off a cliff, as can be seen from the fact that he can still maintain an average of 5+ assists per game.

The main thing is that I haven't pursued it, I can't get a higher goal, I've already got a lot of what I've got, and I still need a bicycle.

Moreover, Pippen's single defense was not top-notch, his defense was strong in the help defense, the offensive arrows of the opponents during the Bulls' two triple championships were all Jordan's defense, Jordan's defense and ball-holding, and Pippen's tandem defense and assistance defense.

At the age of 29, he already fell out of the first defense, and at the age of 30, he fell out of the best defensive team, and now the defense is not far from the Uchiha family.

To make such a player foul and make the opponent play, it is even more difficult than blocking O'Neal!

Liu Mang expressed his ugly refusal to this task!

Can it be more difficult?

Is it okay to give a normal task?

Like sending Rasheed Wallace off the pitch? It's a lot easier!

We're all friends, and Rashid Wallace certainly wouldn't mind being sent out.

"Ding...... The system publishes temporary tasks, and today's daily tasks are extremely difficult, so they are upgraded to special tasks. ”

"Ding...... Special Mission: The Postman is at work, the mission completion conditions remain the same, and the task reward is upgraded: 10,000 superstar points, and a random card for the pinnacle star of the star with the level 5 skill of the porcelain master. Comes with a temporary ability to perform a mission: Taunt. ”

"Provocation: You and other children, do you dare to fight with me? It can be used once in a single match, the target is unique, and the target object is extremely hostile to the host, and the host is replaced by the strongest enemy in the consciousness of the career. ”

"I'm a little girl, this ...... Is there no punishment? ”

"There is no penalty for mission failure."

Liu Mang's question is in vain, no matter whether there is a punishment or not, it is impossible for him to give up this task!

A star card for a player with a level 5 Porcelain Master.

Who said this, don't you still understand?

Gotta get it!

The temptation of old hatred and task rewards, what movie said that what a person hates most is not to be robbed of his wife and daughter, but to cut off people's wealth!

Pippen!

Fuck it!

……

……

Liu Mang returned to the court, the game was about to start, still playing as a substitute, played twenty or thirty games at the beginning of the season, Liu Mang's data stabilized at an average of about 15 points per game, the coaching staff and management talked to him about the starter, but he said that he was still young, there is still a lot to learn, and one day he will bring up his own ideas about the starter.

In this regard, the Eagles management and coaching staff unexpectedly felt that this 19-year-old child was quite sensible, which is very rare in this impetuous era.

This is the reason why the mind is not in the same era.

In the era before Liu Mang, unless it was the core of the first team and a superstar, the difference between the starter and the substitute was not big, even if it was the second leader of the team, not the star, it was not so many people who found it unacceptable to play as a substitute in that era, but it became a common thing.

The Sixth Man of the Year was nothing, but in another three or four years, some drunkard old man in San Antonio did something to put on the bench a guy who had just been selected as an All-Star and turned bald after an evil encounter, and people were stunned when they saw that the team's sixth man could actually play with a top star, and then Ginobili went on a killing spree on the bench and crushed all the team substitutes.

And then more teams will follow suit, and they can't let the Spurs' bench abuse their bench to death.

Slowly, some quasi-first-class, first-class or even near-top stars entered the bench, and the award of Best Sixth Man became valuable, and truly became the most valuable award after MVP and All-Star players.

But now, this one who makes other teams uncomfortable and wants to put the penalty star on the bench is not because of the Holy City drunkard, but because of Liu Mang himself!

Playing against the Hawks, the most uncomfortable point for most teams is Liu Mang, who can score an average of 20 points per game, as a substitute.

It's not like there's never been a Sixth Man of the Year who averaged more than 20 points per game before, but that one was a complete exception, and that guy was called Ricky Pearce, and his starter was Irvin Robertson, the Bucks' star who had just returned from a big trade at the time, the best defensive player and the only superstar in NBA history to steal a quadruple-double.

The emergence of Liu Mang, and the Eagles' record in the East is the best, causing many teams to want to try to put some of the main scorers on the bench, but Liu Mang really became popular after getting 40+ in January, at that time, the teams had already made clear their playing style and goals, and it was impossible to easily change the tactical system, and this thing was not a matter of one or two years, and even some teams needed several years.

Liu Mang didn't know that he had affected the "appreciation" of the best sixth man in advance, anyway, he was very impressed by the value of the best sixth man in the future.

Liu Mang is very impressed by Jamal Crawford and Avery Bradley, who is 36 years old in the 15-16 season and won the second Sixth Man of the Year Crawford can get a 3-year 42 million contract extension, while Avery Bradley, who was selected as the best defensive team in the same year, was at the peak of his 27th year and just played the best season of his career because of possible contract renewal problems after being traded by the Celtics and Pistons.

Then followed by Eric Gordon, the best sixth man in the 16-17 season, also changed from a glass man, both the media and fans thought that he could not have the next big contract, because he had not made more than 60 appearances in a season since he was 3 years old, and as a result, he won the best sixth man, and immediately renewed a 4-year contract of more than 50 million, although it is not the maximum salary, but it is more than the contract he predicted in the media before.

Best Sixth Man, Liu Mang plans to use two at the beginning of his career to fill the career honor bank, and then compete for this award when Jamal Crawford, Ginobili, Jamison and even Jason Terry all run to grab the best sixth man...... Not to mention, Liu Mang's goal is definitely not just a first-class star, and top stars can't be satisfied.

Liu Mang's goal is to win the Grand Slam!

……

The Hawks' starting game was met by Damon Stoudemire, the flying squirrel, and the starting point guard changed from Dean Grove to the slightly faster Jacqui Vaughn.

The other four remained unchanged, Jason Terry, Rahim, Mohammed, and Ratliff.

The Trail Blazers' side only looks at the lineup is really luxurious, and this is still the case of Sabonis National's suspension for a season.

Damon Stoudemire, Bunch Wells, Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, Dale Davis.

Every time he sees the Trailblazers game, Liu Mang can't help but marvel in his heart that the boss of the Trailblazers is so fucking rich!

This is in addition to Bunch Wells, who is still in the final year of his rookie contract, the others are 8 million, two are more than 12 million, and there is an 18 million Pippen, and except for Wells and Rasheed Wallace, the others are all past the peak of premium contracts.

Mainly, there is also a 14 million rain man on the bench.

The Trail Blazers have a luxurious lineup, and they are only ranked seventh, and it is not for nothing that it is difficult to catch up with the Mavericks or the supersounds.

The lineup looks scary, and it is a normal team, perhaps without Sabonis, a near-perfect match for Rasheed Wallace, who tortured O'Neal in the final two games of the 2000 Western Conference finals.

When Sabonis was not there, Rashid Wallace didn't like defense very much, mainly because no one took him to play with, and he probably found it boring to defend alone, so the Trail Blazers' interior dominance dropped significantly. And the outside line is either short, or unwilling to guard, or clocking in and out of work with a big contract.

But the Trail Blazers do have talent and won't fall out of the playoffs anyway, but they're just an average playoff team.

The Hawks are no longer the "underdogs" in the East who were intimidated by the Trail Blazers' superstars at the beginning of the season, and in the eyes of Western teams, the East is a weak team.

The Eagles are already the "top powerhouse" that has won the top eight in the West in turn!

The Hawks players were very confident in the face of the Trail Blazers, and Jason Terry hit two three-pointers, blossoming inside and out with Raheem, opening the game with a score of 13-5, leading by eight points and calling a timeout.

Only 4 minutes have passed, Liu Mang feels that it is not yet time to play, and Coach Kruger does not want to replace Liu Mang so early, let Raheem and Jason Terry play a little more, and play more while the two are in good shape.

……

Liu Mang watched his teammates go up and continue to chisel, and watched Pippen being eaten by Raheim continuously but without too fierce defense, he knew that this provocative skill had to be used!

Liu Mang feels that it is not safe to just provoke, Pippen is a person with a very high ball quotient, he can judge his physical condition very well, he definitely can't keep up with his speed, so he may not stick to the defense, and may choose to defend against breakthroughs, after all, players in the eighties and nineties rarely have defensive tactics for three-pointers.

So Liu Mang decided to use that, and kept "cherishing" the useless - manic potion!

When I say "treasure", I actually use it on my opponent when I can't find the time I should use it...... It's a bit hurtful, and it's not a good thing to let the opponent run wild.

When used on yourself, it seems that it will make you too emotional, which is not a good thing, and it will affect your calm thinking.

Therefore, Liu Mang took a look at today's referee on duty, what a coincidence!

Referee No. 17 Joseph Crawford.

If necessary, give this referee a shot?

Liu Mang looked at the court, Rahim received the ball again, and faced Pippen's baseline single.

Raheem has already hit Pippen twice before, and this is the third time in a row!

During the pause, Coach Maurice Cheeks was already angry at the team's defense, and Pippen also felt that he couldn't hang on his face, and he was also a historical defensive player in the 8-time best defensive team and the 10-time best defensive team.

Pippen is just going to get ready to defend and prove himself, if he really wants to defend, Pippen is at least still a lot higher than the average level, maybe the level of the best defensive team is unlikely, but at least it can be the level of a defensive elite.

At this time, Liu Mang tried: "System boss, use provocation on Pippen!" ”

"Ding...... The host uses a special ability: Taunt, targeting Pippen, who sees the host as the most hostile opponent of his basketball career. ”

At this time, Raheem was concentrating on this offense, and he saw that Pippen, who had come back from a pause, had changed his whole aura, which was obviously completely different from the previous appearance of stretching out his hand when he was lazy and lazy in defense, and he had the feeling of Pippen of the Bulls Dynasty that Raheem met when he was still a rookie.

Rahim was the first to break through, Pippen followed very closely, perfectly blocked, Rahim leaned on Pippen and turned around!

This turn Rahim just wanted to make a feint and trick Pippen into retreating and making his own jumper from close range, but! Raheem turned around, and he really turned around!

No hindrance at all! Rahim stumbled as if he had been removed from his stool, and spun around in a big circle......

The referee's whistle blows, and the walking is violated!

Raheem secretly scolded himself for being too careless!

Pippen!

The defense is amazing!

And at that time...... Pippen just turned his head to look at Liu Mang, no, he was still staring......
