"→" is a great novel to read.

He scored 13 points on 12 shots in a single quarter, and Bryant's efficiency was touching, scoring 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting, 1-of-2 three-pointers, and 4-of-5 free throws in the second quarter.

At halftime, Kobe Bryant shot 7 of 21, 33 percent shooting, and just scored 21 points.

But 17 out of 47 have been, and it's not a problem.

Moreover, Kobe Bryant scored 21 points on 7-of-21 shooting, which was already very efficient in the Lakers, Yao Ming's shooting rate slipped to 3-of-7 shooting, and Kobe Bryant scored 13 points on 12 shots in the second quarter, and the rest of the Lakers shot 9 times and only scored 5 points! These five points also include Yao Ming's two free throws, that is, the others shot 1 of 9!

The Lakers only made 13 shots in the half, and of course, the Hawks were similar, shooting a little less free throws and only making 14 shots.

However, such an inefficient game did not make the spectacle any less!

At half-time, fans were eagerly awaiting the second half of the game between the two teams.

It's so hot!

Yao Ming played with Kwame Brown, Rashid Wallace, and Mourning in turn, and the elbow confrontation under the basket was extremely fierce.

Of course, the most popular is Liu Mang!

The sum of the caps of Odom, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi is just equal to Liu Mang's cap.

Liu Mang showed an ability that he had never shown before, and people were very curious about where Liu Mang's limit was!

Originally, in this game, Yao Ming was the absolute killer of the Lakers, even more dominant than Kobe, he played Kwame Brown or Mourning, it was as simple as drinking water, and 3 of 4 in the first quarter was the best proof.

But in the second quarter, after Liu Mang let the Eagles have "three centers", Yao Ming was restricted!

If it weren't for Kobe Bryant's more than a dozen throws in a single quarter, the Lakers might have fallen behind a lot.

In the end, the Lakers have three real stars, Kobe Bryant has 21 points, Yao Ming has 10 points, and Odom has 4 points, 9 boards and 3 assists, and the Lakers rely on the three of them.

Of course, playoff-level games are like this, and the Hawks' scoring is mainly focused on Liu Mang, Maddy, and Jasontree.

……

At halftime, Liu Mang returned to the locker room, sat in the corner, closed his eyes and recalled the details of the first half while his memory was still fresh.

Yao Ming's second-quarter style of play focused on grabbing rebounds from the card position, Kobe Bryant's mid-range offense, Odom's all-round, and the problems encountered by his own team on the offensive end...... Mainly, Liu Mang wants to remember that feeling when defending! Remember as much as you can!

Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang sitting in the corner with his eyes closed, and did not disturb him, let everyone rest in the first few minutes, the halftime break was 15 minutes, and a few minutes of tactical arrangement was enough.

Regarding Liu Mang's performance in the first half, Coach Kruger once again felt the shock that he thought he was used to.

Liu Mang's performance on the defensive end today made Coach Kruger feel even more incredible than the time he saw Liu Mang score 90 points.

Liu Mang can cut high scores, which has been proven for a long time, but more than 90 points are scary.

And the defense ......

Liu Mang's defense has not been so good!

The main reason is that Liu Mang's defensive prediction in the three-second zone is very different from before!

The coaches and players are thinking very differently, Liu Mang is strengthening his memory of his defense under the basket and looking for how to hat Yao Ming, while Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson are discussing a little differently.

With six or seven minutes left at half-time, the players went to the toilet and ate some high-calorie food, and the tense nerves were eased a little, not to relax, but to relax the nerves that were too tense.

Coach Kruger knocked on the tactics board and the players slid the small bench next to Coach Kruger.

'We defended really well in the first half and we had to continue that in the second half, but there were some changes in the defense, Mike ......"

Coach Kruger handed the tactics board to Mike Woodson, who took the tactics board and painted, and then said, "Ace, in the second half, you go here......"

"Ah......?"

……

……

As the break drew to an end, the players of both teams returned to the sidelines to get ready for the start of the second half.

The third quarter is the key, although it does not mean that if you lead in the third quarter, you will win, but the third quarter lead will undoubtedly lay a good psychological advantage.

The physical fitness of the players on both teams is not big, the Lakers rotate six players in the frontcourt, and the rest time is very sufficient, Yao Ming plus Wang Zhizhi, Odom, and Kris Mim, the Lakers' four-man rotation has no problem with the internal physical fitness.

Small forwards Luke Wharton and Devin George also don't have fitness issues.

Although the Lakers' guard line can almost be regarded as no substitute available, Kobe Bryant is an individual monster, Fisher and Kobe Bryant are partners, and the consumption is not large, and they can play the whole game.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang's physical fitness is no problem, and there are more people who can be rotated in other positions, which is no problem.

Judging from the current situation in this game, it is basically certain that it will be played to the end, so it is very important to be able to establish a little advantage!

Yao Ming shoots on the court to nourish his feelings, and he feels that there are always people staring at him!

Yao Ming played more than 6 minutes in the first quarter, played 11 minutes in the second quarter, and the playing time was well controlled, mainly because Yao Ming's playing style in the second quarter became simpler, the defense was under the basket, and the offensive end was responsible for hand-to-hand combat.

After a break of more than ten minutes at halftime, Yao Ming continued to start in the third quarter and played the first half of the game.

But he felt an evil gaze, and he didn't have to look back to know who it was!

Soon, the second half of the game began.

The Hawks fielded a lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Iguodala, Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace.

The Lakers fielded the starting line-up at the start of the game, with Fisher, Kobe, Luke Wharton, Odom, and Yao Ming on the court.

The Lakers attack first.

Fisher received the serve, advanced to the frontcourt, and handed the ball to Kobe Bryant on the left side of the top arc, Kobe Bryant faced Maddy, who was defended by Maddy and Prince in a wheel battle, and Kobe Bryant became happier the more he played.

However, the Hawks' defensive position was beyond the Lakers' expectations!

Josh Smith, Rasheed Wallace, and Liu Mang were all around the three-second zone, almost surrounding Yao Ming, a little far away from Odom and Luke Wharton, and there was a feeling that Josh Smith was going to defend the two of them!

Odom and Luke Wharton, on the right side of the basket, both have good shooting space.

Kobe Bryant pressed the urge to face Maddie and passed the ball to Odom, Joshsmith immediately pasted towards Odom, at this time Luke Wharton went up to help Odom block Joshsmith, Odom went around the right mid-distance to the baseline and broke through to the basket!

Odom was too tall to rush and scare people to death, and Josh Smith chased after Odom around the pick-and-roll.

Rasheed Wallace did a very good job of defending this time, being in an excellent position under the basket, and could push back to prevent Yao Ming from catching and shooting, or interfere with Odom, and Josh Smith could also choose to supplement Yao Ming or pinch Odom when he retracted.

At this time, the serious Odom's ability to organize the offense is very good, and his vision is beyond the average point guard, throwing the ball to the free throw line!

Lead with the ball!

Luke Wharton cut in from the middle after blocking and dismantling, received the ball at the free throw line, and rushed to the left side of the three-second zone, Yao Ming stuck under the basket, Rasheed Wallace and Josh Smith were both on the right side of the three-second zone, and Luke Wharton was equivalent to facing an empty basket and flying to shoot......

"Smack......

A No. 1 was killed in the pile! Fan Luke Wharton's throw out of bounds!

A neat big hot pot!

Luke Wharton saw that the big men on the other side were attracted away by Odom and Yao Ming, and he didn't notice that there was a sinister 1.93 meter player hiding in the crowd and ready to make up for the defense at any time!

The sixth cap!

The fans who watched the game couldn't help but cover their eyes.

It's miserable!

Originally, the Hawks' defense under the basket was not weak, with Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown, Mourning, who are good at single defense, as well as Josh Smith, a master of helping defense, and now there are many Liu Mang...... It's too hard for the Lakers to score under the basket!

The referee signaled the ball in the front court, and the Lakers had 4 seconds left in the time of this offense!

Kobe Bryant pulled his teammates and hurriedly discussed it together, and Liu Mang was thoughtful when he saw this picture......

Odom served the baseline ball and hung it into the hands of Kobe Bryant, who was leaning on Maddy with his back in the high post, Kobe Bryant took a step outside the free throw line, Yao Ming blocked Iguodala who was going to chase the defense, and Fisher took a step outside the free throw line, just received the ball, and jumped two points long......

Liu Mang had already prepared to make up for the defense, and he guessed that Kobe Bryant would definitely look for Fisher at this time!

Liu Mang went up to Fisher, and Fisher was forced to lean back by Liu Mang, and the arc of the shot was very high, which was very different from the arc of ordinary players!

Under Liu Mang's interference, Fisher forcibly leaned back and hit a long two-point shot!

"Ding...... The pioneer is made by the old man! Trait: Triggered by Derek Fisher. ”

The first shot he hit in the third quarter was Fisher, who only scored 3 points on 1-of-4 shooting in the first half!

However, although Fisher threw in, it felt terrible for Liu Mang's defense around the three-second zone!

The Zen master on the sidelines couldn't help but look at the other party, Liu Mang's defense under the basket today was beyond imagination, and now he is still used as a defensive spearhead to supplement the defense!

In other words, Liu Mang was used as the core of the defense!

The Zen master found that the tactics he had arranged were going to be ineffective again, but he thought about it, just give the ball to Kobe and let Kobe handle it himself, just like giving the ball to Jordan if the tactics are not useful.

Offense and defense transitioned, the Hawks attacked, and Maddie advanced to the front court with the ball.

When Kobe Bryant saw Liu Mang coming, he immediately posted it, even if Liu Mang didn't have the ball in his hand.

Rasheed Wallace pulls to the bottom right corner and pulls Odom out, Josh Smith goes to the left mid-range, ready to cut at any time, Yao Ming steps on the left edge of the three-second zone, in and out, avoiding defending for three seconds, while guarding Josh Smith's air cut and Iguodala's baseline air cut.

Liu Mang ran straight to the low position on the right, and Kobe Bryant followed Liu Mang here, knowing what Liu Mang was going to do!

Kobe Bryant immediately made physical contact with Liu Mang, and the two were entangled under the basket, Liu Mang held his arms and was entangled with Kobe's arms, the action was like wrestling!

However, Liu Mang's strength is slightly stronger now, and the iron foot skill seems to be rooted on the floor, holding Kobe Bryant behind him.

Kobe really didn't expect to be stuck in this startable position, but he still couldn't get stuck with Liu Mang!

Maddie waited for Liu Mang to get to the position, passed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball with his left hand, leaned towards Kobe, and couldn't hit it, as expected, Liu Mang slapped the ball, turned right, and stepped in with his left foot towards the three-second zone.

Kobe Bryant is also very good at defending the low post, moving very quickly, not giving Liu Mang room to jump, and he did a good job of defending Wade and Liu Mang from starting.

After Liu Mang stepped out, his feet were retracted again!

Unlike ordinary people's left foot as the axis, Liu Mang used the right foot as the axis this time!

Liu Mang grabbed the ball, retracted his left foot, and made a jump shot, and Kobe Bryant immediately jumped up to block it.

But Liu Mang took the ball back again, stepped out with his left foot again, jumped with both feet, dodged Kobe Bryant, jumped high, and gently threw the ball to the basket.

Yao Ming didn't dare to touch the ball when it moved, it was definitely a foul to touch, and Liu Mang's ball had already been thrown.

The ball thrown by Liu Mang hit the rebound and bounced into the basket!

After Kobe Bryant landed, his mind was full of the dreamy steps that Liu Mang had just performed......

This step is amazing!

Kobe Bryant feels better than his own low-post turn pull rod or step-back jumper, and there are more ways to operate!

But...... Bryant once again felt "hammered......

Offense and defense switched, the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant went to the front court to receive a pass from Fisher, faced Maddy's defense, and forced to the basket, at this time Liu Mang and Rashid Wallace were sandwiched, and Kobe Bryant was stunned to send the ball to Yao Ming in the crack.

Yao Ming continued to happily enjoy the pleasure of being helped and eating cakes, and scored two points high.

This kind of ball Kobe Bryant can pass out, Liu Mang asked Rashid Wallace to concentrate on Yao Ming in front of him, and he came to help defend.

Coach Kruger put Liu Mang in the position of small forward, which is actually to prevent the Lakers' weakest small forward from shooting outside, and the offensive end is still playing with the ball, but Rasheed Wallace is not used to defending this time, and subconsciously goes to make up for it.

And Kobe Bryant passed the ball to O'Neal back then, and practiced almost all the ways of passing the ball for the inside.

When it came to the Hawks' offense, Liu Mang continued to fall low, Maddie hoisted the ball to Liu Mang, cut in from the middle, at this time Liu Mang just turned around, Luke Wharton who defended Maddie came up to pinch Liu Mang, Liu Mang passed the ball to the free throw line, Maddie withdrew as soon as Luke Wharton hit it, received the ball very tacitly, and scored two points!

At the beginning of the third quarter, both teams scored consecutive points, 44 draws!

Both managers made defensive gestures to their players on the sidelines.

When the Lakers attacked, the Hawks' actions began to get bigger again, increasing confrontation, Kobe Bryant encountered Maddy's more fierce defense, Kobe Bryant chose to continue to break through, and wanted to pass the ball to Yao Ming, but this time only Liu Mang helped defend it, Kobe passed the ball to Luke Walton, Luke Wharton immediately passed to Odom, Odom burst to the basket, wanted to make a layup, and was interfered with again!

It's still Liu Mang!

Liu Mang's defense in the three-second zone has entered a different state, and it seems that the entire three-second zone is under control!

That feeling, in the words of some veteran superstars, is called "field"!

Odom was so tall that the layup was interfered with.

Although Yao Ming took the lead in getting the rebound, he didn't make up for the ball, and clicked on the bridge, Liu Mang turned around and got up again after landing and held the rebound.

Liu Mang handed the ball to Maddie and continued to fall low, the physical contact between the two teams was greater, this time Liu Mang just received the ball, Odom came over, Liu Mang gave the ball to Rashid Wallace, Rashid Wallace received the ball for three points......

Finally in!

It's time to grind the rhythm again!

But the Hawks' defense is even better than that of the Lakers, mainly because of Liu Mang!

Although the defense of the original Hawks outside trio is strong, the functions are somewhat overlapping, the three of them are all defensive outside, and the assistant defense inside is average, but now, Liu Mang went to the three-second zone to defend, Prince and Maddy, but there are better defensive options, Liu Mang's defensive dominance in the three-second zone, so that Maddy and Prince can focus more on Kobe Bryant's shooting, and Kobe Bryant's breakthrough is made up!

Coupled with Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown taking turns to help Liu Mang defend the interior, Liu Mang played a real three-second defensive dominance, forcing Bryant to start shooting singles in the middle range again.

The two teams continued to be scorched, but the Eagles had a slightly higher success rate.

After Liu Mang scored a goal in the low post, he forced the Lakers to defend in a pinch, and it was obvious that even Kobe Bryant would be difficult to prevent Liu Mang, and at most the two would explode each other.

Liu Mang's first low-post single was so easy, and another reason was that Kobe Bryant was the first time to personally experience the fantastic footsteps of an outside player, but even if Liu Mang's shooting rate fell later, the Lakers still had to wrap up, and Liu Mang's low-post success rate of about 50% was not something the Lakers could bear.

Maddie doesn't control the ball anymore, and he now plays very simple on the offensive end, complementing Fisher, dribbling over half court, catching and shooting, and occasionally cutting into the air, mainly to defend Kobe.

Liu Mang is now focusing on defense and singles balls, not so deliberately to ask for Yao Ming, Liu Mang received the three-second zone, the defensive effect was improved, and the whole team played a better defense.

Coupled with the wheel-war-style defense that compared to Kobe Bryant, who had to rack his brains to deal with Maddie and Prince, Liu Mang played relatively easily in the face of Kobe, who needed to invest a lot of energy on the offensive end.

It's this little bit that makes the Eagles start to take the initiative!

If you hit Liu Mang, you will share the ball, and if you don't hit Liu Mang, you will hit the chisel in a low position with a hit rate of about 50%!

The 50% shooting rate under the basket is indeed quite miserable, but in such a game, Liu Mang's 50% shooting rate is like a life-saving charm, and slowly, the Eagles began to take the initiative.

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were 66-61 and had a five-point lead!

The most important thing is that Liu Mang continued to evolve in the third quarter and played the feeling of integrating the offensive and defensive cores!

After the third quarter, Liu Mang had 18 points, 9 boards, 8 assists, 7 blocks and 5 steals!
