7. A three-pointer with free throws as a sacrifice?
The Rockets were completely stunned. How could they make it? Why not go to the sky!
Just one minute after this, the Eagles hit another 5-0 wave, and the Rockets' lead was only one point left!
Not everyone is Popovich. Tomjanovich, one of the few coaches in NBA history who can win consecutive championships, cannot afford to lose that person by calling timeouts.
Francis looked at Liu Mang with disbelief in front of him, who had once again shrunk to the free throw line. This one was good luck, the two were coincidences, but again and again and again and again and again and again! What is happening with these consecutive shots!
Feeling crampy today?
The Hawks team's morale has skyrocketed due to the continuous scoring, and Liu Mang's blood is boiling. As soon as Francis breaks in, he will fight directly.
pain?
Didn't it hurt when you fell just now?
Wouldn’t it hurt even more when Francis rushed me?
Just now, Liu Mang was almost out of breath after being hit by Francis. He rushed forward to fight back and hit a dog. Although the dog looked very handsome to the fans and looked domineering and cool, he was in pain!
If he hadn't protected his handsome face, he almost hit the camera.
After hitting three three-pointers in a row, Liu Mang also got a little carried away. Watching Francis rush in again, he directly went up to resist.
Liu Mang's defensive moves were a little big. When he reached out to block Francis' chest, he regretted it. It was about to be fouled!
However, the referee did not call...
The referees who lived through the 1980s and 1990s completely ignored such trivial matters as overhands. As long as you don't pull someone, just hit the chest with a small fist or a small fist.
Moreover, in front of Francis's strong body, Liu Mang stretched out his hand... It was indeed similar to the feeling of a small fist hitting your chest. Francis knocked Liu Mang aside as soon as he flicked his arm. Likewise, the referee did not call this action.
You are allowed to punch your chest with small fists, but others are not allowed to resist?
Liu Mang felt what it was like to hit an egg against a stone, and he was crushed aside just like that.
However, Francis, who rushed in, felt uncomfortable. Facing the iron-blooded power forward Muhammad and the golden generation undrafted draft who rushed up and did it, then he couldn't help at all inside, and the old cat Mobley on the outside was handed over.
Raheem, who has long legs, has difficulty catching the ball. Kenny Thomas is the kind of small forward who may not be able to shoot a three-pointer in a season. He cannot play the role of opening up the space at all. Emmanuel
It has shrunk directly to double team.
The old cats Mobley and Francis are also suffering. They are almost one of the best backcourt combinations in the league, but they are the only two in the Rockets who have averaged double figures in points per game. The others... are all scum.
scum.
Francis was sniped again in front of the Eagles' iron barrel formation, and once again got into the crowd and missed a strong shot.
The Eagles fight back!
This time the Rockets returned to defense quickly. When Francis took action, the Hawks had already returned to defense. Liu Mang's quick attack was of no use.
However, the return to defense is quick and there is a transition time between offense and defense. When Emmanuel advanced with the ball, the Rockets were not completely in position. Rahim's steps were too fast and he was already tall.
His pace is not slow either. If it weren't for his lack of ambition to become a superstar and his subsequent serious injuries, he seems to be able to maintain his superstardom for a long time.
Emmanuel and Rahim passed the ball hand to hand. After receiving the ball, Rahim stepped into the three-second zone in two steps, forcing the Eagles to shrink. At this time, Rahim threw the ball to Francis.
When looking inside, he ran to Liu Mang at the top of the arc.
Liu Mang catches the ball and takes action!
"Oops!"
Liu Mang is now possessed by Klay Thompson. This kind of super pitcher is very sensitive to whether the ball he throws can go in. The moment the ball is released, he feels something is wrong and his rhythm is not that good.
However, Francis, who was running out of space due to lack of concentration by Liu Mang, came directly and hit Liu Mang on the arm, knocking him to the ground!
The referee whistle blows!
Thug foul!
"Fuck!" Liu Mang spat out a sentence in Chinese. This kind of foul that almost knocked people to the floor was actually just an ordinary foul!
The fans at the scene began to boo. It is normal to foul the opponent when there is no other way to prevent the opponent from shooting, but this action was too big. It was not a charge at all, but a charge!
Liu Mang was furious. Although he had three free throws, it hurt so much!
Liu Mang is still afraid of referees. The main reason is that future referees are really good. Referees can do anything to prevent players from catching the ball in tactics. If they complain, they will give a technical foul.
But in fact, no matter what era the referees are, they are very good. If a rookie like Liu Mang complains, he may get a technical foul.
Come on, three free throws are fine. Liu Mang doesn't want to pick it. If the ball just thrown was not fouled, it might be a blacksmith. Three free throws are not bad.
Liu Mang stood on the free throw line...
They say the air in the plateau is fresh, and Liu Mang also likes to be taller, but now he feels so weird!
It didn't feel too special when I shot from outside the three-point line before, after all, it was so far away from the basket.
But standing on the free throw line, the scenery is so amazing!
The basket is so short that it feels like you can touch the basket just by jumping, which makes Liu Mang feel very uncomfortable.
The referee handed the ball to Liu Mang, and the crowd began to cheer. In their opinion, they had a marksman! The opponent had already used fouls to stop it. This shooting foul was almost equal to giving away points. Liu Mang made the free throw.
Just tied the score! And there were two free throws!
After taking a breath and adjusting, Liu Mang shot his first free throw...
"Bang"
Ironclad!
The cheering fans felt as if their throats were blocked and their cheers stopped abruptly.
You must be too nervous! You must be!
The fans comforted themselves like this.
Coach Kruger on the sidelines was also surprised. Although Liu Mang performed very average in the summer league and preseason after being selected in the second round, and because his pick was too low and he had no motivation, he once missed three points, but
The free throws are still very accurate, after all, he was a great shooter in college.
But today's three-pointers were extremely accurate, and even those magical shots could be scored, so why were they so good at free throws?
Unexpected, he must be too excited and nervous, Coach Kruger comforted himself.
However, Liu Mang's second free throw was also solid!
At this moment, the fans at the scene collapsed: Could it be that three three-pointers were sacrificed with three free throws? No!
Coach Kruger stood up again. He was looking at his team chasing points and was about to overtake it. Then he relied on morale to suppress the Rockets. The Rockets were much weaker than the Hawks. They had been in the lottery for several years in a row. The people on the court
That Eddie Griffin was the No. 7 draft pick selected by the Rockets after their last season's record. After suppressing the Rockets' momentum in the first three quarters, as long as the Hawks overtook the score, it was unlikely that they would be defeated.
If the Rockets turn back again, the Hawks will still be fifth in the Eastern Conference last season. Ratliff has also recovered from his injury this year and will be even stronger.
Could it be that he was injured?
Coach Kruger thought about Liu Mang falling to the ground and then being slapped directly on the floor by Francis. He suddenly became worried and wanted to call a timeout. However, he saw that the Rockets had sent an assistant coach to call after the free throw.
There is a timeout, so I am going to let Liu Mang score the remaining free throw, and then replace Liu Mang later.
If Liu Mang can score 10 points in the first game of his rookie season, Coach Kruger thinks this will greatly enhance his disciple's confidence and may offset the shadow of his previous failure in the draft.
The fans were talking a lot, the coach was thinking wildly, and Liu Mang was thinking about it.
"The arc of the first shot was too high. As I grew taller, I had to adjust the arc to be lower. The force of the second shot was too light. When the arc was low, I had to throw it out with more force and smoothly..."
Liu Mang tried two free throws and finally found the feeling of free throws. Now with Klay Thompson's shooting ability, as long as his brain is not as stupid as the system said and as long as he can adjust according to the actual situation, he believes that he can make free throws.
Come in!
Liu Mang had played for a few minutes and understood what the system meant when it said that Klay Thompson could only use 80% of his strength. It certainly didn't mean that he could only use 80% of his shooting ability.
Even if he performs 100%, what he cannot perform is the defense and air cutting supported by Klay Thompson's first-class physical fitness! There will definitely be no discomfort in shooting, after all, it is the most basic thing for a basketball player.
After Liu Mang high-fived his teammates who couldn't bear to watch, he walked to the free throw line again.
At this time, many fans had already blindfolded their eyes. They didn't want to watch the rookie who they just thought was a great pitcher made three free throws.
Then, Liu Mang made his third free throw...
66 flat!
After the start of the final quarter, the Eagles went on a 12-2 run, obliterating the 10-point advantage the Rockets had created in the first three quarters!
Seeing Liu Mang actually hit the third free throw! The fans at the scene were stunned again, and finally gave them applause...
The Rockets called a timeout.
Liu Mang was very excited because he didn't just score a free throw, he scored the free throw because of Klay Thompson's ability. He still knew this. What made him excited was the voice in his head!
"Congratulations to the host for completing the achievement of scoring 10 points in a single game for the first time. The basketball player section of the superstar lottery template has been opened, and the first lottery is free."
Superstar lottery template! This one sounds much more advanced than the rogue lottery template!
Just as Liu Mang was excitedly walking back to the bench, a group of team doctors gathered around him and pulled the confused Liu Mang into the locker room for inspection...
Chapter completed!
