"Ding...Stephen Marbury, ability value 88, offense 91, defense 70, three-pointer 61, mid-range shot 79, layup 90, ball control 95, speed 91, strength 78..."

Liu Mang put on the magnesium powder and sighed in his heart that he was worthy of Marbury at the top, close to the top star. Although he was not as good as Rahim, he was still a respectable figure in the league. If Rahim was to defend him, he would definitely not be able to defend him. After all, there was a height difference.

Too many, and his ability to control the ball is really strong!

As the tenth in the Western Conference, Marbury certainly wants to hit the playoffs. As one of the best players of the Mesozoic era, he doesn't want to lose to others, even though he has lost many times...

When meeting Raheem, Marbury will certainly have to fight hard!

Raheem is already an All-Star! This makes Marbury very unhappy! He is still ranked first in the Eastern Conference, which is amazing!

He defeated the Eagles last time, and Marbury still wants to come this time!

In terms of defense, the Suns' rookie coach Frank Johnson is indeed not good. Generally speaking, players who become coaches after retirement have obvious characteristics. Although it cannot be generalized, usually centers and power forwards like to defend as coaches, and guards like to attack as coaches.

Small forwards generally don't like to be coaches but like to be general managers.

Frank Johnson was also a point guard who averaged 12.9 points per game back then. He was also a point guard in the offensive craze of the 1980s. He was all about offense at his core.

In fact, the Suns' previous head coach, Scott Scales, was the one who led Rose to join the previous Bulls and swept the defending champion Heat. He was particularly good at coaching defense, but after more than a dozen games this year, he proposed to

Marbury, the core replacement who didn't like to defend, was fired by the Suns.

With Marbury and Gugliotta as the inside and outside organizational points, the Suns' offense is really awesome. With both of them on the court at the same time, the Suns' scoring efficiency is as high as 117 points per 100 possessions, second only to the Kings.

It's just that the defense is really bad. Marbury is willing to guard when he plays Raheem. He can defend the ball, but he can't guard Raheem. The height and strength gap is too big. Guard Jason Terry, Jason Terry

He was well prepared. If Marbury guarded him well, he would not hold the ball and run into the open space. He and Raheem's off-ball cooperation were smooth, and Jason Terry scored ten consecutive points in the opening game.

Although Jason Terry said he was going to beat Marbury, although he said it was painful, since he said it, he would do it!

Halfway through the first quarter, the Hawks and Suns were tied at 18! The two teams scored an average of 6 points per minute, which was a very high scoring efficiency!

The Suns called a timeout first, for no other reason than Gugliotta couldn't run anymore.

The Eagles almost had to replace Ratliff, and both teams replaced the big center at the same time.

Liu Mang put on the magnesium powder and walked onto the court despite being ignored by Coach Kruger who was thinking about whether he had enough Gatorade today. Also on the court were Jason Terry and Raheem who were playing very well in the opening game.

, as well as Cool Guy and Nanny.

The Suns were also forced to switch to a smaller lineup. Originally, they had an inside post. Georgia's super tall 2.20-meter-tall Jack Tsakalidis was the Rockets' substitute for Yao Ming.

That guy is slower than Yao Ming.

The Suns sent Marbury, Pence, Beau Outlaw, the explosive man acquired from the Magic, Marion, and Wilt Santiago, a physical man with a handsome name.

Today is San Diego's third game in his career. As a player who was undrafted in the 2001 draft, his physical fitness is quite similar to that of James Michael McCain, who will be the second high school student in the United States and the number one high school power forward in the future.

Du, both have great names. In high school, he relied on his ruthless physical fitness to be stronger than Kejan. As a result, a high school graduate wanted to go to college and looked down upon the uneducated person who directly entered the NBA. A high school graduate could not directly enter the NBA.

He could only go to college and failed both.

After the timeout, the Suns have the ball.

Liu Mang steeled himself and stared at Marbury, secretly scolding these useless teammates! As soon as he came up, Jason Terry went to defend the man Outlaw in the air, and Raheem followed him. He was already at his peak.

Hardaway is gone.

Two losers with no sense of loyalty!

Liu Mang put aside his distracting thoughts and went all out to deal with Marbury.

Unlike Francis who relies solely on physical fitness to crush everything, and Iverson who relies on speed and skills to conquer the world, Marbury is more like a combination of the two!

His ball control is not inferior to that of Iverson and his impact is probably weaker than Francis among point guards. His one-on-one ability is really strong!

But the strongest thing is not his scoring. Even if he can score more than 40 points in a game, it is difficult to win. He has scored 40 points 6 times in his career and only won two games. What is even stronger about him is the combination of sudden shots!

After halftime, Marbury didn't even take the rookie in front of him seriously. In the last game, he had beaten the Hawks all over the perimeter. He felt that the number one player in the Eastern Conference was nothing more than this.

Arriving in front of Liu Mang, Marbury stopped for a moment, suddenly accelerated, and broke through directly to the right. Liu Mang reacted, and directly hit Marbury's shoulder. The impact was really speechless.

, giving Liu Mang the feeling of being broken through by Francis, but not as fast as Francis and Iverson! Liu Mang pressed on closely.

Unstoppable! Marbury squeezed past Liu Mang and rushed to the three-second area. Muhammad defended him. Marbury immediately gave the ball to Santiago. Newbell was pulled away by Marion and went to the bottom corner. Muhammad came to defend him.

Mulder turned around and was too late to defend!

If someone had a better playing habit, he would just put the basket up. Even with Santiago's violent physical fitness, he could just pull it up and dunk it. However, why did he, as one of the top three high school students in the country in 1998, lose the draft after playing three years in college?

Where is it?

It’s just because my skills are so poor! Not to mention that in high school, I relied on my body to play. In college, I still rely on my body, and my habits are also poor. I just jumped up after taking a lucky step...

"Snapped"

Liu Mang, who just subconsciously chased the ball, reached out and cut the ball off!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Another low-altitude block!

Liu Mang picked up the ball and counterattacked!

Jason Terry and Raheem rushed down the court almost without thinking. Liu Mang passed a long pass to Jason Terry. Something that made Liu Mang sad happened! Jason Terry had no choice to catch the ball inside the free throw line.

Instead of dunking directly, he threw it into the sky. Rahim followed up and succeeded in an alley-oop dunk.

It was so crazy to get an assist! Liu Mang was so disgusted, if he had known, he would have passed it directly to Rahim!

Isn't it just that Marbury already had 5 assists in a single quarter?

Jason Terry, who returned to defense, felt Liu Mang's resentful gaze, but did not react at all. He had already developed his shame, and he would not be afraid of being slapped in the face when he spoke nonsense in the future.

Marbury was a little unhappy. This kind of ball didn't go in?

Liu Mang saw Marbury's expression full of dissatisfaction with his teammates and decided to start a fight.

If you guard against Marbury, you will definitely not be able to guard him, so just start spraying! Otherwise, you can't do anything on the defensive end.

"Hi, New York ball king, no, Jordan is also from Brooklyn. It seems that Alston and Artest are also from New York. Hello, New York's fourth ball king." Liu Mang greeted Marbury who was dribbling over.

Start talking trash.

fourth!

Marbury hates people talking about this number the most. Back then, he was almost selected as the No. 1 pick by the 76ers, but the 76ers wanted the football quarterback. He suddenly fell to the top four and no one was selected. The Bucks helped the Timberwolves to select him.

, and he fell in love with this number.

Before Marbury could respond, Liu Mang continued: "Hurry up and pass the ball. Your teammates can't wait. Why are you so attached to the ball? You are such a selfish player. You don't even have to face a big contract just to increase your data."

.”

Are you sticky with the ball? Are you shameless enough to just hold the ball and shoot it?

Marbury was angry. Although he had a bad relationship with many stars, ESPN, which loves to cause trouble, even conducted a poll among the players. He ranked first among the 200 players in the league's list of players who least want to partner.

Nearly half of them voted for him, but there were still people among the top players who had a good relationship with him. He had heard that the rookie in front of him had a very poor reputation among the Western Conference stars! Almost all of them had bad words for the rookie.

The last time we played against Marbury, he didn't see how the Eagles were hated. Looking at it now, it's really so hateful!

Sometimes, trash talk is beneficial, as it can dampen the opponent's fighting spirit or irritate the opponent, but sometimes it may have the opposite effect.

For example, for someone like Marbury who is originally surly.

People with eccentric personalities tend to be autistic, rarely communicate with other people, talk less, and naturally think about more things. Just like Beasley, Beasley rarely talks to his teammates, but thinks more, you can see

Every time he plays a game, as long as he has the ball, he will come up with all kinds of magical offensive methods and score many incredible shots.

And Marbury was the same. He was holding back his words and had countless ways to pass the ball in his head.

With a covert tactical gesture, Marbury continued to ignore Liu Mang and forced his way inside!

Even more ferocious than the last time, Marbury got angry and ran over Liu Mang to the inside. Muhammad made up the defense in time and forced Marbury to stop.

Marbury, who was unable to rush, was much less of a threat. Liu Mang immediately rushed towards Santiago, who was free inside, but Santiago pulled to the corner and gave Marion a pick-and-roll! Marion threw away Newbell and rushed in.

Marbury threw a high ball, and the gibbon-like Marion slid more than two meters in the air and pushed the ball into the basket!

"Rookie, basketball is not played with your mouth!" Marbury finally responded to Liu Mang with a smile.

I go!

Liu Mang didn't expect that the future political commissar Ma, at least when it comes to playing basketball, would be really calm! Before he returned to New York in the summer of 2003, he was completely bad, and after the disastrous failure of the Olympic Games in the summer of 2004, he went to smoke Harmony and was caught drunk driving.

Marbury before his state collapsed, although it may... no longer be possible, he is indeed not as good as Nash in leading the team, but he is still a strong player! An American point guard at the level of the Dream Team!

Liu Mang was sure of one thing, he couldn't guard against it!

If this guy had played well and defended, there wouldn't have been last season's wonderful counterattack that almost became a classic!
