Lakers fans...are kind of cute, they are so confident. Except for the Celtics, even the Eagles who just defeated them last season didn't boo the other Eagles players except for Liu Mang.

Voice.

Even if O'Neal is gone, Malone retires, Payton is traded, and Fisher leaves, the Lakers' main lineup last season only has Kobe, Wang Zhizhi, Devin George, and no one else left, Lakers fans are still

So confident, I think the new players are also good...

Originally, the fans in the Staples Center were very calm before Liu Mang came out, but as soon as Liu Mang came out, the whole audience booed.

After entering the stadium, Liu Mang chatted with Wang Zhizhi, and then began to look at Kobe who was talking to Tracy McGrady.

Kobe Bryant, ability evaluation 97, offense 99, defense 90, three-pointer 80, mid-range shot 90, layup 98, rebound 79, passing 84...

After reading Kobe’s comments, Liu Mang felt something was wrong!

Why is Kobe's strength lower than when we finished training together before?

Liu Mang clearly remembered that Kobe had caught up with McGrady in mid-September, reaching an ability rating of 98, and because of his absolute advantage in physical fitness, he was almost certainly stronger than McGrady.

Strength is one aspect. It is also important to have physical support to perform efficiently. Kobe was able to perform better than McGrady last season with an ability evaluation of 95 because of his physical strength.

Kobe has made great progress in the past few years. He is a top star, on the verge of becoming a super giant, a super giant, and one of the three or four strongest players in the league. He has made great strides every year for four seasons. Liu Mang can conclude just from Kobe's physical fitness.

Those who say that Kobe's physical condition and strong will are all due to training can go to hell. His physical condition in all aspects may not be the strongest in the league, but other physical conditions are among the best in the league, and he can be ranked in the top five in every aspect.

, speed, jumping, strength, height, wingspan, endurance... In addition to small hands, even Carter is not as good as Kobe's physical talent. Among active players, it can be said that he is 100% better than Kobe's physical talent on the outside.

Only McGrady and James...Josh Smith counts as one if he is considered an outside line.

Therefore, in addition to training, talent is the most important thing for Kobe's progress.

But Liu Mang was confused. After the last training, his ability evaluation was already 98. Why did it get lower after more than a month?

Recalling the Kobe he had seen before, and his impression of Kobe at his peak from 2005 to 2008, and compared with the explosively muscular Kobe now, Liu Mang felt that he had probably overtrained...

Agility and speed have declined, and defense has also declined, which has led to COSCO's shooting decline. On the contrary, inside layups are almost unsolvable.

Seeing McGrady look like a thin bamboo pole in front of Kobe Bryant, McGrady, who just turned 25 at the end of last season, has not yet reached the time to gain weight. This is mainly because he is not injured and does not need to rely too much on strength to break through confrontations. It is enough.

On Kobe's side, Liu Mang felt that Iguodala was the only one on his side who could barely fight. Tony Allen was still too thin. After yesterday's interview, he was sent to the NBDL Seahawks, a team named by a certain domestic cow, and went directly to Philadelphia.

Went to play an away game.

Apart from Kobe, Liu Mang looked at the rest of the Lakers team.

It has really changed from an aircraft carrier to a kayak. Apart from Kobe, the strongest player on the Lakers is Odom, with an ability evaluation of 85 to 95. This is basically the same as Malone during the Lakers period, because after Odom arrived in Los Angeles, the cliff became even worse.

Easily distracted.

Caron Butler came to the Lakers and had playing time, and his ability evaluation reached 76. Liu Mang felt that it was not easy for Butler. He averaged 15 points per game in his rookie year. However, because of Wade, his playing time was reduced.

The sudden drop is a waste of a year as a rookie. Liu Mang saw that his ability evaluation was 72 when he entered the NBA. It took three years to rise to 76, but his offense is very good. His offensive evaluation is 84, and his defense is only 65.

A miserable beep.

Lakers head coach Tomjanovich is a coach who attaches great importance to defense. Since the end of the preseason, he has bluntly stated that he is dissatisfied with Butler, but there is no one else available.

Wang Zhizhi's ability evaluation is probably over. His ability evaluation of 73 has not changed for two years. Liu Mang finds it very difficult to maintain this status and survive in the NBA before the age of 30.

Because in addition to these four people, the Lakers' strongest point guard is Atkins. His ability evaluation is 75, which is above the average level and below the mid-level level of a quasi-first-class star. He can be considered a balanced offense and defense, a very average point guard.

, No. 1 in shooting, he is limited in height and cannot guard tall guards.

Except for these four players, the Lakers don't have anyone with an ability over 70, or even over 65. Only Chris Mihm, whom Payton returned from the Celtics, has an ability evaluation of 68. Liu Mang paid a silent tribute to Kobe.

However, Liu Mang was a little dissatisfied. The only thing was that he didn't see the Grim Reaper among the Lakers players!

The Grim Reaper and Kobe have not yet begun to cooperate closely with each other. Atkins is too strong. How can Kobe use such a strong point guard? Just give him the Grim Reaper! He also has to prevent Atkins from double-teaming him happily.

Kobe and Liu Mang felt a little disappointed.

Also, Kobe is now averaging 33.3 points per game and scored a total of 100 points in the first three games. This gives Liu Mang a headache. Who knows if Kobe this season will be like the original history? He will become increasingly uncomfortable due to his excessive weight.

As for the decline, although this is a high probability event, Liu Mang still feels a big headache. Although this guy has difficulty winning without the fat man, his scoring is amazing!

…

…

confidence!

Kobe's confidence is now through the roof!

After three consecutive wins at the beginning, his self-confidence was so strong that he felt that he could do it alone!

They beat the Heat first, then the Hornets, and then the Pacers. They were both playoff teams last season, and two of them are considered championship contenders.

This made Kobe's self-confidence skyrocket, even when facing the Hawks led by Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady.

The Lakers sent out a lineup of Chucky Atkins, Kobe Bryant, Caron Butler, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi.

Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown appear.

"Ding... sympathy for each other is triggered, Kobe Bryant will do his best in this game."

"Ding... The Black Mamba's road to counterattack started in the 2004-05 season, sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers in the regular season, with a completion score of 0/2."

Liu Mang received sad news about his relationship with Kobe and a mission related to Kobe was triggered.

It's such a sad thing.

When Liu Mang went to apply magnesium powder, McGrady happened to be applying magnesium powder as well.

"Tracy..." Liu Mang was interrupted just as he called out McGrady's name.

"Ace, if you want to play with Kobe, go ahead and play. Don't play for too long. That guy is very capable individually and can fight for two or three hours. It's more important for us to win the game." After McGrady said that, he came on the stage gracefully.

"..." Liu Mang grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and threw it into the air...

Damn it! I want you to deal with Kobe together, why don’t you turn around so coolly!

Liu Mang has no way to go to McGrady now and ask for help. Isn't this just giving in?

Men can’t say no!

"This damn little blacksmith is just looking for trouble! What are you doing if you're so good! I'm so unhappy that I can't get one of your star cards for a year!"

Liu Mang went on the field with the mentality of going to the battlefield.

As the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from Wang Zhizhi's head.

Liu Mang received the ball and pushed forward. As soon as he saw Kobe guarding the top arc, the system prompt came.

"Ding... Innate skill: Black Mamba's Bite is triggered at level 5. Because his physical condition is extremely inconsistent with his playing style, the overall ability evaluation bonus is weakened. The overall ability evaluation is 1, from Kobe Bryant."

"Ding... Features: Trigger to the death, the opponent's desire for singles will skyrocket, from Kobe Bryant."

Although there was a system prompt, Liu Mang couldn't help but feel angry when he saw Kobe's proud expression after pushing past the midline.

This guy is so arrogant! He looks like he has defeated his opponent.

As an opponent, Liu Mang felt so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger!

It seems that Kobe's aura is causing trouble, or it may be that Liu Mang himself has made his teammates used to it. Seeing Kobe step out of the three-point line to defend Liu Mang, the rest of the Eagles naturally opened up the space.

When Liu Mang was about to get close to the three-point line, he saw Kobe immediately pressing over him. Liu Mang held up Kobe to block him. Even though he had iron elbow skills, and he was close to the second level of iron elbow skills, he was still close.

He was pushed back directly by Kobe's chest!

These muscles are weird! Liu Mang wanted to exert force, but it was too difficult for Kobe to push him on his chest and start speeding up!

Kobe's defensive awareness is really incredible. He quickly adapted to the new defensive rules and didn't get started, but the physical contact he gave was not small at all!

Learn from the pick-and-roll man and use the pick-and-roll to advance? Liu Mang abandoned this idea immediately. He had to at least hit two by himself before talking about the pick-and-roll... I don't want to lose face!

Liu Mang's mind was racing and he immediately thought of a way to deal with Kobe.

Liu Mang took a step back, and Kobe immediately pressed forward. Taking advantage of the gap of a few tenths of a second between taking a step back and Kobe pressing forward, Liu Mang took the initiative to press forward, pulled the ball with his left hand, and turned around to pass Kobe.

Drop Kobe.

But Kobe's reaction was too quick, and he immediately pressed towards Liu Mang, trying to force Liu Mang to walk.

But Liu Mang's goal is not to break through Kobe, but...

As soon as Kobe pressed forward towards Liu Mang, he immediately felt that he couldn't turn his head around, because he had just come into contact with Liu Mang again, and Liu Mang flew away!

"Ah..." Liu Mang screamed and flew forward to the right, throwing the ball towards the basket.

"Ding...Pengci Master Level 5 trigger..."

Just as Liu Mang screamed and flew out, the referee seemed to be frightened and subconsciously blew the whistle.

Kobe's eyes widened: What a shameless bastard!
