"Ace, are you okay?" Coach Kruger asked worriedly.

If Liu Mang is tired and unable to play in the fourth quarter, it will be a huge blow to the Hawks. It is really unexpected that Carter and the aging version of Olajuwon can play such an role.

Ratliff must rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter. With such a big body, when he serves as the core of defense, unlike Olajuwon who only needs to defend in series, Ratliff relies on his own hard power to block all intrusions into the inside.

Enemy opponents, such centers who cannot have their own defensive system often consume much more than those centers who have their own defensive system.

Don't you see, Garnett is still supporting the Nets' defensive system at the age of 37, and Duncan is still the core of the Spurs' defense at almost 40 years old. However, many defensive cores who only rely on physical fitness to defend have collapsed when they are over 30 years old.

Therefore, the main focus of the fourth quarter must be on offense! If Liu Mang is not here, the speed will not be of much use!

"Of course!" Liu Mang fired another physical potion, "How can a man say no!"

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he continued to drink water. It would be better if there was a hamburger. Although there was a physical potion, the water consumption was large and the stomach was empty. The physical potion could restore physical energy, but it could not restore the water and the things that had been consumed in the stomach.

It is estimated that what is being consumed now is fat, which will bring huge benefits to reducing body fat...

"Cough cough cough..."

Just when Liu Mang was thinking wildly and Coach Kruger went to give Nubel, who replaced Muhammad and Ratliff, and Alan Henderson emphasized tactics, Raheem and Jason Terry came up and choked them.

On the back of Liu Mang's neck, a fist hit Liu Mang's head with an electric drill, almost choking Liu Mang to death.

"How can you say no to a man? We two brothers just took a break for half a quarter, so we are no longer men?"

…

…

Olajuwon seems to have returned to his peak in a dream!

Of course, the explosive scoring ability and flying blocks are gone, but the intimidation under the basket has reached a new high since 2000! This kind of focus is the first time since he failed to renew his contract with Alexander in the Rockets last season!

Olajuwon did not rest in the fourth quarter. He felt in good physical condition and decided to continue playing!

This year is different from the future where the core of a team will only play 30 minutes. In the future, if the main players in the fourth quarter at critical moments are not physically fit enough, they may not even be able to play, because the average level of role players has been greatly improved with the development of the times. In the future,

Many role players can earn an annual salary of 20 million.

But it’s different now. There is usually a big gap between role players now. For example, the Eagles normally only rotate 9 players at most. In a tight game, 8 players are the best. In the future, teams with 8.9 players will be regarded as core executioners!

The Raptors' Dale Davis and Alvin Williams partnered in the backcourt, while Carter, Antonio Davis, and Olajuwon partnered in the frontcourt.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Raheem are back in action, with Newbell and Alan Henderson partnering in the frontcourt.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Eagles had the ball. Liu Mang passed the first ball to Rahim. Carter placed it in front of Rahim. The entire Raptors defense was in full swing in the third quarter. Rahim faced Carter in the middle.

He dribbles the ball from his hips, then lifts his shoulders, instantly puts it away, moves sideways to the left, turns his back, and goes to the basket for a pull-up layup! Raheem is really good in singles. When he comes on the court for singles, Olajuwon has no effect.

It was so big, Raheem pulled the lever to avoid Carter who was chasing after him and Olajuwon who was defending and made a layup.

84 to 78, the score difference came to 7 points.

Raheem scored 30 points!

The Hawks returned to defense quickly, but the Raptors had no intention of playing a fast break. Dell Curry slowly advanced and handed it to Carter, and the ball was delivered to Olajuwon immediately.

When playing against Ratliff, Olajuwon still had a little difficulty, but when playing against Alan Henderson, Olajuwon was not worried at all. The height difference was huge! His static strength crushed his opponent!

Olajuwon turned around and drove away Alan Henderson for a layup!

"Hakeem watch out!"

Only then did Olajuwon see that Liu Mang had sneaked in and hit the ball with his palm!

Liu Mang shrinks his defense and blocks Olajuwon!

Fight back!

Olajuwon did not lose his composure anymore, hugged Liu Mang, and blocked the Hawks' fast break with a foul.

What a smart kid!

Olajuwon figured it out at once. It turned out that Alvin Williams, who Liu Mang was guarding and setting up an off-ball pick-and-roll for Dell Curry, was in the middle distance that he was not good at. He immediately took advantage of his blind spot and slipped to Alan Williams.

Behind Henderson, he gave himself a block!

Not only is he smart, he also has a good sense of cutting the ball!

As a veteran who has played for 17 or 18 years, Olajuwon admires Liu Mang very much. Unfortunately, he is too thin and cannot jump. He seems to be a little anxious in layups. Otherwise, he can consider opening a training camp and earn a few bucks.

Ten thousand yuan...

The score difference is still 6 points!

The game continued, and the Eagles tried to counterattack defensively, but were repeatedly undermined by Olajuwon.

Next, the Eagles and Raptors each missed several shots. It was not until Liu Mang and Raheem scored four points through two layups that the scoring continued.

At the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides became 96 to 92, and the Eagles were in the lead with only 4 points left!

The official timeout came back. At this time, the Raptors began to counterattack. Seeing that Olajuwon was almost unable to fight, Carter decided to come on his own. After a few tentative steps, he passed by Rahim's shoulder and hit him.

With a time lag, Ratliff passed by and went directly under the basket. The three Eagles immediately shrank in and surrounded the inside!

Carter's jumping and explosive power are so powerful! He suddenly jumped up in the crowd and passed to Olajuwon. Olajuwon was at the free throw line at this time, received the ball and made a jumper from the free throw line!

There are 4 minutes and 51 seconds left, only two points left!

The Eagles call timeout!

Starting from the second half, Carter, who became more focused, focused entirely on how to win the game and how to defeat the Eagles' defense with the two-line cooperation of himself and Olajuwon. He is worthy of being a superstar-level player. It is really scary!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is strength!

Liu Mang thought of what Carter said at the end of the intermission. This is a game where strength is king!

We can't let Carter be so focused anymore!

But Liu Mang couldn't think of anything that could distract Carter's concentration. A three-point battle? The opponent had already seen through his little trick, and it was precisely because of this that he forced Carter to concentrate.

Regarding this Raptors, Liu Mang is actually not that worried about what they can do with their record. Olajuwon cannot play so well in every game. Not every coach is Popovich and can

A No. 1 pick can flourish after playing for 20 years.

After the timeout, the Eagles replaced Ratliff and Muhammad, and the Eagles' five strongest players came on the field!

Last fight!

The Raptors also made a last-ditch effort, with Keon Clark, Carter, Maurice Peterson, Antonio Davis and Olajuwon coming on the court.

With less than five minutes left, the Eagles have the ball.

It's still a positional battle.

Liu Mang holds the ball on the outside, and Jason Terry goes to the bottom corner to open up space. Raheem is a little tired from playing. His personal offense is basically hard work. This is his characteristic, excellent inside scoring ability.

There will inevitably be greater consumption.

The eldest and second eldest players can only play a role in stretching the defense now, so coach Kruger is worried that Liu Mang will not be able to attack.

The person guarding Liu Mang is Keon Clark, who is very close. He has an ability value of 71, a speed of 90, and a strength of 72. Keon Clark cannot shoot well, but his impact, speed, and strength are excellent, so he can beat Curry.

His father slapped him.

It was a bit difficult to play singles, Liu Mang waved to Muhammad to come out of the pick-and-roll and cut inside!

Pick-and-roll master triggers!

Iverson's explosive speed, which exceeded 100, was impossible to catch up with Keane Clark!

Liu Mang rushed inside.

Ratliff turned around and blocked Carter, who was about to cover up. Rahim had a certain mid-range, and Olajuwon had already committed four fouls. In addition, it was really difficult to contend with Liu Mang's weird footsteps, so he pulled out to prevent Rahim from hitting.

Shoot, Liu Mang faces an empty basket!

Layup?

No!

A strange idea suddenly popped into Liu Mang's head!

Taking advantage of the last second of the pick-and-roll master, Liu Mang took off with all his strength! He wanted to dunk!

Dunk! No one can stop me!

Just when Liu Mang picked up the ball in the air and was about to dunk it into the basket, a strange feeling suddenly came...

"Ding...Fancy dunk level 1 is triggered. Based on the current physical fitness and on-site conditions of the host, the strength of the waist and abdomen is strengthened, and a 180-degree turn dunk..."

Liu Mang didn't hear what the system said clearly, and he felt an impulse in his heart! He turned 180 degrees in the air and clasped his hands behind his back!

A little reluctant! But I still put it in!

"Ding... the fancy dunk was successful! The team's morale has soared, and the morale-boosting behavior has been activated..."

After landing, Liu Mang couldn't help but look up to the sky and scream!

The fans at the scene were cheering loudly because Liu Mang rushed in and looked like he was going to dunk. Even the dunk was a dunk! But Liu Mang actually turned around in the air! He turned 180 degrees and dunked with his back!

It’s hard to say how beautiful this dunk is. There are so many players who can do it. Even Emmanuel can do it by jumping on the spot.

But this is Liu Mang's dunk!
