"Ah......h

Liu Mang was slapped on the floor, let out a scream, and got two free throws.

There are performances in it that make the picture exaggerated, but his screams are not all exaggerated.

Just now, Liu Mang used Boozer's block to kill the basket with difficulty, and also used Kwame Brown's threat to deceive O'Neal, but O'Neal slapped Liu Mang's right shoulder without a chance to block, directly destroying Liu Mang's coming up, and slapped Liu Mang to the ground.

That is, this person is Liu Mang, and the other people are slapped on the floor like this for that kind of painful small injury, it is estimated that there is no way to even treat it, and can only use ice to restore the slight bruise, and can only endure that pain.

When Liu Mang was slightly injured, he immediately healed the injury with a primary injury potion and a 500-point superstar value.

However, Liu Mang's performance was exaggerated, but this was the Lakers' home court, and although O'Neal's action was a bit excessive, the referee still only gave a shooting foul.

Without deceiving malicious fouls and technical fouls, Liu Mang could only take Kwame Brown's hand and stand up and walk to the free throw line.

Seeing Liu Mang, who was called miserable just now, but immediately seemed to be nothing, the fans at the scene gave bursts of boos.

It's not that Liu Mang doesn't want to continue to play miserable, but he has tried several times, the referee's bias towards the Lakers is the same as always, Liu Mang has not received many home whistles at home, it can only be said that when he is at home, the referee's blowing penalty is very fair, and when it comes to the away side, it may still be fair, but the Lakers' rough actions, the referee is just an ordinary foul!

Liu Mang's current idea is to cheat if he can cheat with a heavy penalty, and if he can't cheat, forget it, adjust his mentality and body, and take free throws well.

Now the Hawks are supported by his free throws!

……

From the very beginning of the game, the style of play on the Lakers' side made the preparation on the Hawks' side like a fool.

The Hawks have defensive expert Mike Woodson, tactician Ron Kruger, future playmaker Liu Mang, and 20 years of experience in playmaker John Stockton.

On the Lakers' side, there is also a group of excellent coaching staff, and the best of them is the nine-crown coach who is tied for the first place in NBA history, Phil Jackson!

It's not that there's anything wrong with Coach Kruger's conservative tactics, but the experience of the Zen master is too rich, and in the case of falling behind 0-2, at the beginning of the third game, the head coach who took the lead in giving up his advantage is estimated to be the Zen master who dares to do it alone!

Coach Kruger, who was 2-0 up, was prepared to make a conservative tactical choice with defense in the third game, and there was no problem, if it was a Zen master ten years ago, he would have done it, and he did it, and he did it with a 2-0 lead away from home.

The 92-93 season was the most difficult championship for the Bulls' first three-game winning streak, and their record that season was only third in the league, with 57 wins, while the opponent of the finals, the Suns, was 62 wins, but the Bulls relied on ferocious offense, relying on Jordan's first 31+7+5, Pippen's first 27+9+5, and the second Jordan's 42+12+9 fierce offense, winning two consecutive away games.

The Zen master who returned to the home court at that time chose the same conservative strategy as Coach Kruger, playing defense, but he completely failed to win, and the only one won by the Suns in three home games, or Jordan went down to earth, and the finals exploded with 55 points, and the average score per game in the finals was raised to more than 40 points, so he won a home court, and only won six points, or relied on Jordan to score 11 points in a row to win 6 points.

But the current Zen master already has a wealth of experience in winning the championship, and it is easy to judge the strategy that Coach Kruger will choose.

Coach Kruger wanted to use defense to deal with the Lakers, but the Lakers didn't play offense from the beginning, and the Lakers' starters were made like five little blacksmiths on the court by the Zen master's mental mobilization.

The shooting percentage of players on both teams was extremely low from the beginning, O'Neal only hit 43 percent in the first half, and neither team shot more than 40 percent.

In this case, even if O'Neal starts to decline in physical fitness after smashing a few hard shots in a row, and can't spend too much effort on the offensive end in order to maintain defense, they have Kobe!

Defeating opponents with rich experience in iron fighting, at this point, Liu Mang is not as good as Kobe.

In the first half, the two teams have been just defending, and at the end of the half, the Hawks only scored 31 points, but the Lakers didn't do particularly well, scoring 33 points, and the two teams combined for less than 70 points in the half! It's not at the same level as the first two!

In the case that the shooting rate of the two teams fell below 40% due to defense, Kobe Bryant's 38% shooting rate in the first half today is very powerful!

The Hawks' choice was also problematic when they encountered a completely unexpected situation, and at halftime, Coach Krueger chose to abandon his previous strategy and sent in the offensive combination of Stockton, Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown in the third quarter.

However, the Lakers' side still maintained a high-intensity defense, and, because of Malone and Payton, the two returned to the home defense to exert their power, and the blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation of Stockton and Boozer on the Hawks' side was limited.

On the contrary, it was the Lakers' side, they originally relied on Kobe and O'Neal to chisel hard, the Hawks' lineup, although the defense is also above the league average, but compared with the league's best defense in the first half, it is too far behind, Kobe was liberated all of a sudden, giving O'Neal enough time to rest and single-handedly pick up the Hawks.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang was forced to throw his arms and rush to the inside line to create kills, and the outside line was defended, the Lakers wanted to let Liu Mang enter the inside line, and in the face of the iron wall of Malone and O'Neal, Liu Mang could only throw himself into the air again and again.

At this stage, the Eagles can barely rely on Liu Mang's scoring threat in the second game, so that Liu Mang has many opportunities to make fouls.

……

Liu Mang stood on the free throw line, ignored the boos and the insults of the fans next to the hoop, and steadily hit two free throws, and he had scored 14 points in a single quarter.

The Hawks barely let the Lakers pull the difference apart in the first eight minutes of the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 14 points in these eight minutes, and the Hawks scored 19 points as a team, but the Lakers also scored 12 points Bryant, and also sent 4 assists to help the Lakers score 24 points, and the Hawks have fallen behind by seven points at 50-57.

Then in the last four minutes, O'Neal was in charge of defense at halftime and only needed to be responsible for defending and catching and dunking after Kobe Bryant's breakthrough attracted to the bag, and finally recovered his strength, and the sharks began to wreak havoc!

In the last four minutes, O'Neal resumed the madness at the beginning of the first quarter at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, sent three blocks in 4 minutes, and also crushed the Hawks' side of the Ostertag who was replaced when Liu Mang made free throws, a strong dunk, a catch dunk, and two hooks, scoring 8 points in a row!

The Lakers only scored 8 points in the last four minutes, but relying on O'Neal's madness, the Hawks only scored 4 points, and after the third quarter, the Hawks were 54-65, 11 points behind!

The Eagles, on their side, were like dominoes, controlling the game, from the very beginning, making one wrong move, losing every step, and losing one after another.

Seeing the 11-point difference, Liu Mang endured it, but still did not choose to use Iverson or the random star card of the strongest point guard of the era.

From the beginning of the game, the Lakers' OK momentum coupled with the unexpectedly ferocious defense has suppressed their side, and the use of star cards also depends on the timing, and the timing is not right, and it is very likely that a valuable superstar star card will be wasted.

Liu Mang had already learned a lesson when he played the Nets last season, the use of star cards was not well timed, resulting in waste, and when it was needed, there was no suitable star card available.

As Liu Mang expected, O'Neal, who had not made enough power in the last four minutes of the third quarter, with the anger of losing the first two games, and Kobe Bryant also lost the first two games, suppressed his prodigal throw, stubbornness has not been triggered, and he tried his best to put himself on the defensive end.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, O'Neal scored 6 points in a row, and the Lakers continued to maintain defensive pressure, while the Hawks' side, the momentum of this game has been knocked out, and the opponent was led by the nose throughout the whole game, and the Lakers beat a 6-0 at the beginning, and the difference was stretched to 17 points.

At this point, the Lakers' side laid the foundation for the game, the Hawks themselves did not insist on defense in the third quarter, and the Lakers opened up the point difference, and now they want to tighten up, but there is no way, and the Lakers' side is because they are going to win the first win in the Finals, which supports their motivation on the defensive end.

Liu Mang could only rely on himself to play singles in the fourth quarter, 4 of 13 in a single quarter, no three-point opportunity, the other party just let him break through, he also scored 12 points in a single quarter, two shots, a layup and a dunk, plus 4 of 6 free throws, but the Hawks only scored 15 points in the final quarter, except for Liu Mang, the other vacant shots were too dead because the first three quarters were guarded too hard, and the feeling was gone.

The Lakers, for their part, maintained a 15-point lead until the end!

In the end, relying on Kobe Bryant to score 26 points with a 39 percent shooting rate, O'Neal scored 31 points with a 44 percent shooting rate, the key is that he made 9 of 14 free throws today, which was "terrible", and the Lakers finally won 84-69, making the big score 1-2!
