This damn chicken soup coach!

Sloan, Pat Riley, and Liu Mang have only seen these two coaches before who have coaching abilities that can be embodied as skills by the system. That is to say, they have expertise in certain aspects that the system can determine.

For the specialty of the skill.

Sloan is his connection with Shuangsha, and Pat Riley is the intimidating force of the iron-blooded head coach he played in the 1990s. There is no doubt that these two are very powerful coaches. One makes the pick-and-roll play a supporting role in tactics.

Drama has become the focus of each team's tactics, ending the situation before the 1980s when games were always singles.

Pat Riley created several eras.

As for the Zen master, he can travel to the end of the world with just a bowl of chicken soup...

Liu Mang was already prepared and waiting to go up and try to widen the point difference. His mentality became a little more relaxed, at least the first half was stable, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen suddenly.

After taking a look at the opponent's bench, he found that the blacksmith and the chicken soup man were not there. Liu Mang cursed secretly and ran to Mike Woodson, who was setting up defense.

"Mike, that Kobe guy may not be able to work alone for a while. You have to rearrange your tactics." After Liu Mang finished speaking, he subconsciously looked at the other party. The other party actually called another long timeout, and then put the Lakers

The players shouted together.

Mike Woodson followed Liu Mang's line of sight and saw this scene. Then he saw the Lakers calling another long timeout and understood it all at once.

"How did Phil convince Kobe? It's really a headache." Mike Woodson said helplessly.

"Oh? Mike, do you know anything about this?" Coach Kruger next to him didn't understand what Liu Mang said at first, but when he heard that Kobe was persuaded, he knew that Liu Mang and Mike Woodson had used it before.

The defensive and verbal attacks against Kobe seemed to be resolved by the opposing coach.

"Yeah, at this time three years ago, I was still with the 76ers, and I helped the 76ers win the first game. Kobe was already fooled by us in the second game and wanted to do it alone, but he was defeated by the Philippines.

I was convinced by my words." Mike Woodson obviously had a headache for Phil Jackson, "Let's not talk about it anymore, Lang, let's adjust our tactics, they called a timeout..."

…

The official timeout was followed by another long timeout. This timeout was so long that the referee almost vomited blood. When the timeout was not called, it did not call for a long time. When the timeout was called, it was called continuously!

The timeout ended. For the Eagles, it happened to be the last four minutes of the half. They all replaced Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff.

The Lakers also changed their lineup, with Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Malone, and O'Neal.

51 to 39, Kobe looked at the score on the big screen, gritted his teeth, picked up his jersey and ran forward.

Seeing Kobe's look, Liu Mang, who was guarding the three-point line, didn't dare to relax at all.

Seeing Fisher advancing, Liu Mang directly blocked the center line.

When Fisher saw Liu Mang coming, he immediately passed the ball to Kobe, and then ran to the right corner. Liu Mang did not chase after him, but instead, together with Rahim, fought against Kobe's defense on the strong side.

Together with Lins, they defended a zone against Fisher and Devin George on the strong side.

Rasheed Wallace on the left side of the basket was guarded by Malone, who was preparing to respond on the weak side. The Lakers' mid-range shots were pretty solid today. Except for Kobe, it was Malone. It's just that Kobe didn't pass the ball to him before. It's hard to say now.

, Mike Woodson, who had seen how powerful Kobe Bryant was after being ignored by Allen Iverson in 2001 and fed chicken soup by Jackson, did not dare to let go of Malone, who was most likely to have defensive holes.

Kobe also thought that the opponent would definitely leak out Malone, but he didn't expect that the opponent would also target Malone. Although there was space for O'Neal inside, O'Neal couldn't play for a while. In the first half, it was just him and O'Neal.

Two people scored, the others almost didn't score, and O'Neal was already tired.

No way, Kobe also wanted to show off a wave of passes, but he could only play alone!

"Ding... Talent skill: Black Mamba's Bite is triggered at level 4, comprehensive ability evaluation is 4, from Kobe Bryant."

Here we go again! The blacksmith!

Liu Mang immediately moved towards the top line. When he saw Kobe Bryant rushing to the right, Liu Mang immediately attacked from a flank.

Kobe Bryant had anticipated this situation. As he was marching, he swung the ball behind his back with his right hand, moved sideways to the left, dribbled behind his back to get rid of Prince, and at the same time used Prince to block Liu Mang's flanking attack.

Although Kobe doesn't have Liu Mang's ability to ignore differences in his dominant hands, he has also developed some basic skills in dribbling and shooting with his left hand!

However, Prince had defended this kind of breakthrough many times in the past few days. He was too familiar with it. Kobe's dribbling action behind his back was too obvious. Kobe was blocked on the left side by Prince's pre-predicted defense.

!Kobe’s change of direction to the left is far less rapid than his change of direction to the right.

Kobe wanted to change direction again, but Liu Mang had already pressed forward. Forced shots were not advisable. Before the consecutive timeouts, he had been blocked by the Eagles' attacks several times. Suddenly he saw a teammate making an air cut, and Kobe immediately uploaded it.

past.

Fisher knew that he was not very good at long-range shooting today. Now he had a clear mind and did not act recklessly. Instead, he rushed inside with the ball. Rahim was immediately ready to go up and block Fisher. At this time, Kobe shot from the left side of the basket.

Cutting in from the weak side, Malone came up to help Kobe block Prince who was chasing him. Fisher passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe took off before Liu Mang pounced on him and took a mid-range shot from the baseline...

Hit!

It is too easy for Kobe to just catch the ball and shoot directly, especially for Kobe who is now working hard and wants to prove his abilities. It is too easy!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! How accurate is the open mid-range shot? Why can’t he make the shot without defense? Liu Mang feels that he has met a fake little blacksmith! This guy’s off-ball movement options are also

That's great! I don't know what will happen if you give him a point guard who can pass the ball.

The Lakers retreated quickly after scoring the goal. Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Kobe stayed firmly outside the three-point line and did not extend to defend.

Liu Mang slowed down his advancement after halftime and observed the Lakers' defense. To his surprise, the Lakers actually started to defend in a zone!

Counterpoint defense!

Different from the 3-2 zone defense commonly used by the Hawks and the 2-2-1 zone defense against the Lakers, the zone defense used by the Hawks is called a positional zone defense. It is a defense that specifically blocks the inside or outside lines. It is a defensive method that targets the opponent's offensive weaknesses.

The 2-3 zone defense mainly defends the inside line, the 3-2 zone defense mainly defends the outside line, and the 2-2-1 zone defense was only used by the Eagles to consume O'Neal.

Counterpoint zone defense is rare in the current NBA. As far as Liu Mang knows about this zone defense, it is mainly used more in international basketball. In the NBA, few teams use it now. The Kings are one. The future NBA rules will be

After the change, three teams used similar defenses more than ten years later: the Rockets in the D'Antoni era, the Lakers led by Luke Walton with Ball, and the Warriors led by Steve Kerr.

Think of this defense as a common defensive strategy.

To put it more directly, it is unlimited rotation and active pressing defense!

When Liu Mang didn't reach the three-point line, Kobe stayed inside. As soon as Liu Mang reached the area where he could shoot one step beyond the three-point line, Kobe immediately followed him.

Sure enough, after Liu Mang came into contact with Kobe, he immediately took a step back, and Kobe immediately retreated to the three-point line.

Calmness, composure, and no rush are the keys to a zone defense. In the future, the Rockets will be a team that did not expect D'Antoni to be able to play defense. The Lakers will be a team that will risk their lives to play defense.

Super defensive, and the Lakers are more like the Warriors, confident, powerful, and the kind of composure and calmness brought by strength!

Liu Mang waved Rasheed Wallace to come out for the pick-and-roll, and brought Malone over, using Rasheed Wallace to block Kobe. Sure enough, the Lakers immediately switched defense, and Rasheed Wallace cut inside.

, Kobe refused to give Rasheed Wallace a chance to get open, and would rather be defeated by the Hawks in isolation than to have his defense torn apart.

The Lakers' defensive execution suddenly became very strong, and Liu Mang secretly sighed that they deserved to be the team that won three consecutive championships.

Liu Mang looked at the muscular Ma Long standing in front of him with a ferocious expression, and knew that the old man's ferocity was not just pretending to scare people, he was really that ferocious!

However, Liu Mang was even more excited. He had not yet repaid the revenge of the previous elbow!

It is Liu Mang’s personality that he must retaliate for his anger!

Fuck him!

Liu Mang raised his foot back. Ma Long thought that Liu Mang was going to separate the space for a long shot, so he immediately pushed forward. Liu Mang raised his foot back and kicked the ground, accelerating towards the right!

Ma Long came up and grabbed the jersey on Liu Mang's stomach, trying to use the tug to block Liu Mang's breakthrough.

But why is it so difficult for Kobe to guard against Liu Mang's breakthrough? It's not because he can't guard against Liu Mang's breakthrough, but because he was selected as the first defense, relying on suppressing the opponent's breakthrough, but because he didn't dare to reach out to resist Liu Mang when guarding against Liu Mang.

Seeing Ma Long's outstretched arm, Liu Mang grabbed the ball with his left hand, made a running shot with his left hand, and hit Malone's arm!

"Beep..."

As soon as Liu Mang's arm collided with Ma Long, the referee's whistle sounded immediately!

"Ding... Pengci Master triggers at level 5. Ambiguous whistleblowing is beneficial to the host."

Who the hell knows how to shoot from the three-point line with a non-dominant hand?

However, there is nothing the referee can do, the rules are like this, and Liu Mang can indeed attack with his left hand, and has scored 51 points in the playoffs and 60 points in the regular season. Even the referees were privately surprised by this.

When Liu Mang heard the whistle, he felt happy. Suddenly, a huge force came from his pressed arm!

While Liu Mang was shaking upwards while making a shooting posture, he was directly pressed down by the force from his arm. He lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

It’s Karl Malone’s elbow again!

Liu Mang raised his head angrily and saw the smile on the corner of Ma Long's mouth. The effect of his cold-blooded trait came and Liu Mang immediately calmed down.

This guy wants to have a horse race with Tian Ji and redeem his pair!

Liu Mang stood up straight on the ground, exerting force on his elbows and abdomen, and jumped up from the ground and said: "Old guy, your little tricks are of no use to me. Although today is not the weekend, the postman should retire."

Ma Long, who planned to anger Liu Mang, was prepared to be beaten several times by Liu Mang and then scuffled with Liu Mang, and was also prepared to be sent off. Seeing Liu Mang's unusually calm look, Ma Long felt regretful and relieved, but when he heard that Liu Mang

What Mang said, especially the last sentence, made Lao Ma Long feel like his heart had been stabbed...

Seeing the situation, Ma Long couldn't do anything. He turned around and prepared to grab the rebound. He was going to be pissed off talking to this kid.

Malone is no longer the young and energetic Malone. When he joined the Lakers, he had put aside his dignity and everything else.

Liu Mang stepped to the free throw line and was a bit regretful. He only made two of three free throws and missed the second free throw.

But it also offset Kobe's mid-range shot just now.
