244.Success or failure depends on this move
The Eastern team had no intention of defending the inside line!
Guard against the devil's insiders, let alone Duncan. Even Iron-Blooded Kevin, if he comes to the inside to face the lineup of the Eastern Team, he will be a unique weapon in the world!
Not to mention Iron-Blooded Kevin, no one can guard Kobe when he goes inside, so he just blocks the Western Team's three-pointers. If the inside likes to score, you have to!
Liu Mang retreated to the outside of the baseline and watched as the ball dropped for Duncan's dunk. He directly caught the ball and exited the baseline to pass it to Kidd. Kidd immediately threw it towards the frontcourt. Ray Allen was already about to step down and rushed to the frontcourt with a flying jump.
Dunk and score two points.
During his rookie contract, Junzi Lei was an explosive player who was good at shooting. Although he was not as good as Francis or Kobe, he had more early dunks than Tracy McGrady.
The Western team was completely confused.
Is this playing basketball?
What a scoundrel!
The five of them are still in the Eastern team's half, and the opponent has already completed their attack!
How on earth are we going to fix this! We are trying our best to engage in an offensive and defensive battle with the opponent, but the opponent does not engage in the battle at all, but still scores so easily. Even the Western team can also score easily, but this feeling is so annoying!
So angry!
After a few rounds, although the Western team was fully prepared to return to defense, Kobe, Payton, and Garnett desperately wanted to return to defense, but the speed of McGrady, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Ray
- Allen's open three-pointers and Kidd's exquisite organization and precise passing can always score easily, especially McGrady's direct fast break without any scruples and no regard for defense, even if Kobe or Garnett come back to defend.
Yes, Tracy McGrady can also use various skillful skills to put the ball into the basket.
The Eastern team kept the score tight!
They just refused to go head-to-head and acted like they were playing blindly. Moreover, the Western team did not dare to leave players in the half court. Firstly, it was too ridiculous. Secondly, if it was really 3 on 5 or 4 on 5,
No matter how short the Eastern team is, they can still defend it.
It lasted longer than Liu Mang and Kidd expected, and the Western team was also patient. Anyway, they could score almost every goal. They just maintained a 2-point, 1-point lead that fluctuated back and forth. Anyway, they would not fall behind.
The Western team also has a tough temper. The Eastern team wants to delay the fight. They also see it and they just follow suit. Anyway, the Eastern team has no way to break this situation.
The fight continued like this until the end of the first quarter. After the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 41!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Western team changed its lineup and replaced Garnett as the center, Szczerbiak as the power forward, Kobe as the small forward, Nash and Payton as the back line.
According to Liu Mang and Kidd's ideas, they should use their normal lineup to fight a positional battle at the right time, but an accident happened.
"Dibacon, you don't want to fight anymore?" Liu Mang asked in surprise.
"Well, I'm a little tired. I'm probably too tired from playing in the past two days. Haha, you can continue playing. It's fun to watch you play." Mutombo said with a smile.
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Okay, let's continue playing, Di Beiken, you have a good rest."
Liu Mang understands that Mutombo doesn't want to waste too much energy in the All-Star Game. After all, he has no benefits. As the 76ers' inside gate, he may be the 76ers' most tiring player.
There's nothing I can do about it. It's possible that Mutombo cooperated with him for the sake of Iverson's face. Liu Mang knows this very well.
Kidd is a good person. He came over to discuss tactics and patted Liu Mang on the shoulder to tell Liu Mang not to worry. Mutombo was an important part of the discussion when tactics were discussed before, but there was nothing he could do if he didn't fight.
You can't blame the old timer. To be honest, I'm not familiar with him!
Reality is usually very cruel.
And Liu Mang also knows one thing. Many people accompanied him to play like this today, mainly because the style of play is very interesting. Except for a few people, not everyone really wants to help him win the MVP. Most of them do it because of Iverson.
, in terms of the reputation of Jordan and McGrady, following the arrangements is only the effect of their own on-court coaches. They will work hard when they get up, but it is hard to say how long they will work hard.
The best center candidate is of course Mutombo. If Mutombo doesn't play, the only choice is Mourning.
Liu Mang went to Coach Kruger and asked for a lineup of Mourning, O'Neal, Pierce, Iverson, and Tracy McGrady to sharpen the position. Coach Kruger waved his hand in disgust and told Liu Mang to go on his own.
Let's discuss it with Kidd and decide how to deal with it.
They're just all-stars anyway.
Yes, they are just All-Stars anyway, not only in the East, but also in the West. Except for a few people, most of them don't want to disgrace those few players, and most of them go up to play for fun.
In the first quarter, Liu Mang relied on counterattacks to score 7 points, which was pretty good. After the start of the second quarter, Liu Mang and Kidd renegotiated their discussions and decided to follow the original plan and delay the first three quarters to keep the score as close as possible.
Come on, it's just a game anyway. Liu Mang can come up with a bunch of weird tactics to keep the score tight. There is no shortage of scorers in the Eastern Conference.
This is a very unified idea between Liu Mang and Kidd. When the two Yin people came together, they could not help but get involved. They all agreed on the same opinion, that is, there was no coach to arrange tactics. They only focused on offense and had to consider defense.
, and once you don’t consider defense and just focus on offense, what will be the effect? Especially when the attackers are All-Stars...
The conclusion drawn is - it is impossible for the opponent to defend against it!
But the same disadvantage is that there is no chance to turn the score over or even take the lead.
Just drag!
Kidd felt that winning was not reliable at first, but Liu Mang said that he only needed to wait for three quarters and he would think of a solution in the fourth quarter. Although Kidd didn't know what Liu Mang could do, Liu Mang said so.
So he worked hard with Liu Mang to perfect the blind strategy. Although he may not know as many weird playing methods as Liu Mang, Kidd has a better tactical awareness and helps Liu Mang perfect his ideas.
That is to say, his teammates are strong enough to allow Liu Mang to play blindly like this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the start of the second quarter, the Eastern team surprised the Western team and started a regular positional battle. It was a true regular season-style offense and defense, and Pierce played singles.
, O'Neal Jr.'s mid-range shot, Tracy McGrady's organization, and Iverson's breakthrough.
On the defensive end, the Eastern Team also defended conscientiously. If they could defend, they would defend. If they couldn't, they would continue to play steadily on the offensive end.
Although the Western Conference team is still leading, several leaders in the Western Conference feel something is wrong! A strong feeling of having their IQ suppressed lingers in their hearts.
Kobe, Garnett, and Payton were the three who had the greatest resentment against Liu Mang. Especially after seeing Liu Mang drawing with a tactical board, their resentment became even greater. They all shouted in their hearts: What is this damn rookie going to do?
What to do!
…
…
Playing normally for half of the quarter and going crazy for the rest of the quarter, the Eastern team kept resorting to all kinds of weird but always scoring tactics in the first three quarters, keeping the score tight.
After three quarters, the score was 127 to 129.
In the fourth quarter, the Eastern team played for two minutes and called a timeout! It was still a long timeout.
The score between the two teams is exaggerated enough, but it is not unprecedented in the history of the All-Star Weekend. There have been times when the two teams scored more than 130 points in the first three quarters. However, in the fourth quarter, the defense was extremely tough and they scored 20 points in the final quarter.
With a score of 15, the winning team scored 134 points in three quarters and 154 points in the game.
The Eastern team has been keeping the score tight. According to the idea that the Western team has been tortured to the point of collapse, the Eastern team should wait until the end to try to counterattack and try to win by relying on those strange tactics. Why is it suddenly called
Paused? Or long pause?
Ignoring the surprised expressions on the Western team, Liu Mang, who called a timeout, walked back to the bench and asked the system.
"System boss, will the timeout for this superstar's star card also expire?"
"Ding... The hidden feature of superstar cards compared with other lower-level star cards is that the game will be paused when the game is paused, which will only consume time during the game. At the same time, the use of star cards will not affect the use of host skills.
, but after the host uses the Allen Iverson star card, the bench gangster will become invalid. The host's ability value has temporarily exceeded 80, and the star card will resume normal use after its expiration."
"OK, then I'm relieved."
Liu Mang felt relieved.
"Use Iverson star card."
"The host uses the Allen Iverson star card, and the fit is 80%..."
Only eighty percent...
wrong!
Eighty percent! Why is it so high!
Isn’t it said that those who are most suitable for me are the physically weaker players in the NBA?
"The physical condition and ability of the host have been qualitatively changed from the beginning of their career, and the function of the star card is to match the characteristics of the star card according to the host's own characteristics. The stronger will have a greater improvement, and the weak will even have a negligible improvement. The quality
Now he is a speedy player, and some of the characteristics of the host with level 5 bench gangster are very close to Allen Iverson's peak period. The temporary ability value of the host after using the star card is being calculated, please wait..."
"Ding... the host's current abilities are: 89 ability points, 88 three-pointers, 83 mid-range shots, 86 layups, 97 speed, 75 jumping, 73 strength... Innate skills: Unyielding Pride Level 3."
So awesome!
So powerful!
Especially the bounce, which is 75! Liu Mang's previous highest was only 67 when he triggered the pick-and-roll master! This has reached a good mid-to-upper level!
Although there is a gap between Iverson, who has an ability value of 95, and even Iverson's explosive speed, it is still awesome! Moreover, the pick-and-roll master is level 4 and can explode at a speed of 97, although it is not as good as Iverson.
A long burst, but two seconds is enough!
Suddenly Liu Mang's confidence came back!
No matter what, I'm going to kill Kobe anyway!
Liu Mang came to Iverson's side.
"Allen, are you ready to go up and win?" Liu Mang asked, a little excited.
"Oh? Is this what you said before? There is a way? What way?" Iverson was also very interested. Liu Mang had previously told him to be ready for a counterattack in the fourth quarter.
"I don't know, I guess I just have to give it a try!" Liu Mang was telling the truth this time.
"Haha, okay, let's fight!" Iverson is also an arrogant and unruly man, and he will fight as hard as he wants.
"By the way, Allen," Liu Mang asked an interesting question: "Who do you think is faster, me or you?"
"Ace, are you kidding me? I'm the fastest man in the NBA." Iverson was very confident!
"Oh, Allen, your wife is so pitiful. You are actually the fastest in the NBA..." After Liu Mang finished speaking, he ran to McGrady to hide.
"What do you mean? Why is my wife so pitiful?... Damn! Ace, stop here!" Iverson stormed off...
The timeout is over, Liu Mang joins Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Raheem, and O'Neal on the court!
O'Neal Jr. has the same determination as Iverson, Raheem, and Tracy McGrady to defeat Kobe, who has won two consecutive championships in the past two years and far away from other outsiders. When he heard Liu Mang say that he must play seriously
, agreed without saying a word.
