142. Against Gasol
Gasol took the initiative to rely on Muhammad to ask for the ball, and the fans finally turned their boos into cheers!
First time!
If it is not a tactical arrangement, Gasol takes the initiative to ask for the ball!
This rookie is good at everything, with mature skills and a tall body. As long as he has some muscle, his ability to protect the basket will not be much worse. Anyone who is not blind can see that he at least has an All-Star level future.
But it’s just too soft!
It's not that he doesn't dare to attack, he's poor in defense or something, it's just a temperament, and he doesn't have the momentum that I just want to do it.
Look at how popular the rookie guard on the opposite side is. He just dares to do it to anyone he sees, including Jordan, Kobe, and McGrady.
Rodney Buford saw his future boss asking for the ball and quickly passed it to him. After wandering in the NBA for many years, Rodney Buford had lost the sharp edges he had before.
Gasol got the ball and pushed it back tentatively. Muhammad noticed that the opponent was weak in the previous time and decisively pressed forward with his body.
At this moment, Gasol used the power of Muhammad's pressure to turn left. Muhammad was almost wiped out because of the pressure! Muhammad immediately turned around and jumped up to block the shot!
but!
Gasol then turned right again, leaning on Muhammad and throwing the ball toward the basket from behind Muhammad!
"Beep..."
The referee's whistle blows and Mohammed commits a shooting foul!
Gasol turned around and hit layups!
Such a nice low post move!
European players can enter the NBA, as long as they are not pure human shields, their basic skills are quite mature. What is lacking is confrontation and experience! Muhammad was shaken so much that he didn’t know where to go. He reached back and swatted at him randomly.
Not only was Gasol's arm undefended, he was also called for a shooting foul!
Gasol went to the free throw line, and he hit the extra free throw with a very good mid-range!
Responded!
Gasol's response to the dunk just now!
Gasol was a little bored at this time. He didn't show much excitement when he scored, and his personality was a little reserved.
Liu Mang was a very playful man, and he immediately rushed over excitedly dribbling the ball.
Liu Mang's excitement scared Rodney Buford and said: Hey, hey, brother, don't be like this, why are you so excited!
Rodney Buford has long heard of Liu Mang's "evil reputation" in the outside world. It was his first match today. After the rookie took his signature step back, he was about to come back. Fortunately,
The connection of this guy's stepback is a bit wrong. The stepback is good, but he probably hasn't used the stepback much.
This made Rodney Buford even more afraid of Liu Mang. This guy learns things too fast! And the breakthrough just now was simply too much to keep up with!
In Rodney Buford's lifeless expression, Liu Mang once again used his speed to bully him, and Rodney Buford was once again beaten cleanly!
Liu Mang, who broke into the paint, went straight to Gasol again.
The fans at the scene actually cheered!
It's going crazy!
This year's two strongest rookies are competing like this!
Liu Mang rushed to the three-second zone. Gasol was more focused on defense than the last time to avoid being dunked by Liu Mang again. Gasol stood up even more. His two-meter-three wingspan almost blocked the entire three-second zone. Such an arm
The deterrent effect is really amazing.
Liu Mang picked up the ball, took a step forward, and hit Gasol's open left hand with both hands at the same time!
Gasol couldn't even hide. After all, he was a big man of 2.15 meters. Liu Mang swung a giant circle and released a cannon.
But the referee's whistle blew and the thug committed a foul!
Unlike those famous defensive players who cried and complained to the referee when they were fouled by Liu Mang, Gasol had been studying Liu Mang for a long time. At the beginning, he was prepared to guard against Liu Mang's move and did not reach out easily.
So I was detained.
This time Gasol wanted to avoid being detained, but he actually forgot about this incident! Liu Mang seized the opportunity and immediately hit him.
Gasol thought about how he couldn't dodge just now, and the opponent was just trying to draw a foul. He finally understood why the league's defensive players thought Liu Mang was a despicable person.
So despicable!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After Liu Mang made two free throws, Gasol went to the frontcourt and continued to ask for the ball!
Open singles!
Today Liu Mang and Gasol's style of play is to open up singles.
The other players on both teams are very generous. Gasol is the core, and Liu Mang is the core of the second team. Both of them have this privilege.
Ever since, just like Rodney Buford, Muhammad began to be tragically beaten by a rookie using various moves.
After the first quarter, Liu Mang and Gasol fought several times in a row, and the cheers on the scene continued one after another and never stopped!
Liu Mang scored 9 points in a single quarter, and Gasol's Liu Mang scored 8 points after coming on. The two of them were very happy.
…
During the break, Liu Mang played very well today. The opponent did not use Battier to defend him, and he was also surprised.
Liu Mang probably didn't know that Battier was trained as a scorer in his rookie year. Who the hell would choose a defensive perimeter at the sixth position? This would not happen even in a young year in the draft. There is always a lottery area.
Choose a scorer.
Liu Mang drank an energy drink and got ready to continue playing in the second quarter.
It feels so good to play against Gasol!
Since they were not strong opponents, the coach and the two stars of the team had no objections to the idea of Liu Mang and fellow rookie Biao Xiao. Who was not in this situation?
The season is nearly a third of the way, and Liu Mang's "talent" has been revealed. Although he is only a second-round pick, both Raheem and Jason Terry feel that Liu Mang will at least be as good as their rookie year.
In his rookie year, he is at the same level. This rookie must have a bright future. At this time, he should be willful, otherwise he will not be as mature as a young man.
Liu Mang played well today, and Jason Terry was the Eagles player who cheered the loudest on the sidelines.
Liu Mang was also very happy, and the second quarter continued!
However, Liu Mang saw someone who seemed to have a very resentful expression.
Mr. Mohammed, the team nanny, was looking at Liu Mang with resentful eyes.
"Nazir, what's wrong with you?" Liu Mang asked doubtfully.
When Liu Mang asked, Muhammad became even more resentful: "You are having fun playing, but don't deliberately irritate the Spaniard on the other side! I can't guard you, man! I just missed being dunked by him."
Gasol's footsteps teased Muhammad so much that Gasol even got excited about one ball and almost dunked it in. Muhammad pulled the opponent down with a palm to avoid the tragedy of being dunked.
Liu didn't even notice how badly his teammates were being tortured. He just focused on his own score and said strangely: "No way! Nazir, your defense is not bad. You are so much stronger than that big white soft body. Why?"
Will I be unable to defend myself?"
"It's not that the big brother is poor in defense, it's that guy who is so good! He is the No. 3 pick!" Muhammad said angrily. These days, although high-ranking rookies are beginning to be used by bosses to bet on young talents, in the minds of the players,
He is still a bit intimidating. Generally speaking, the high-ranking rookie is still one of the best in that draft, and Gasol is a player who can get 18.9 in his rookie year.
"Can't guard against it?" Liu Mang thought for a while, it was strange. The more he thought about it, the weirder it became. Can't guard against it?
Chapter completed!
