Chapter 1043 1042. The Sequel to Liu Mang's "Narrative Career"
The audience of Chaoting TV wanted to turn off the TV!
This was the first time in so many years that Chaoting TV had NBA players as guest commentators. Many fans who used to watch the text live broadcast and the score on their mobile phones could not help but turn on the TV.
However, after hearing Liu Mang and Yang Yi criticize the Lakers, they could not help but want to turn off the TV.
The director of Chaoting TV was also scared.
But... the ratings have been increasing...
In the final preparation time of the game, Liu Mang had enough of his nonsense and started to comment properly. He had to show his professional ability. After retiring, it would be good to be a commentator.
Liu Mang felt like he couldn't live without basketball.
"Although Kobe is not a very good teammate, his fighting spirit can easily infect his teammates, especially when there is another outstanding teammate with a good personality. Kobe and Yao Ming are like two gangsters, one with a paranoid personality and the other with a gentle personality. Kobe plays the good cop and Yao Ming plays the bad cop. Except for Odom, their teammates are not very good, but they have all played at a level beyond people's expectations. They have more opportunities this season than before." Liu Mang analyzed the mission, personality and role of the Lakers' stars.
"Ace, gangster?" Coach Zhang was finally satisfied when he heard this, but... what is the adjective for gangster? It's okay to be a boss, but also a gangster!
Seeing Coach Zhang's weird expression, Liu Mang said: "The whole world wants to defeat Los Angeles, and the Lakers are the public enemy of mankind!"
"Oh... you, you are really unforgiving. It turns out that in your eyes, the Lakers are non-human!" Coach Zhang laughed.
"No, no, no, this is what you said, Coach Zhang, it has nothing to do with me." Liu Mang strongly passed the buck.
"Hey, Ace, I really can't refute what you said... There are two minutes left, Ace, analyze the matchup between the two teams. Didn't you say that the Clippers have a better chance of winning?" Coach Zhang started to talk crosstalk with Liu Mang.
"It's better to obey than to be respectful, so I'll just analyze it casually," Liu Mang continued, "From the core point of view, the Lakers have Kobe and Yao Ming as the inside and outside double cores, and the structure is very good. The power forward has Odom who can play from one to five, and there is also Dashi who can play as a backup power forward and backup center, but the others are average. The Clippers have Brand and Cassell, which is also a very good inside and outside combination. Kobe is a little better than Cassell. Kobe has one more second place championship. He has three, and Cassell has two.
As for Odom, as long as he doesn't explode, Maggette can also withstand it.
The role players of the Clippers are much better. Mobley, Kaman, Radmanovich, these excellent role players are not as good as the Lakers.
In theory, the Clippers are very strong, but Kobe is a little better than Cassell. If the Lakers beat the Clippers by surprise, I won't be surprised."
"Your mouth, I surrender!" Coach Zhang was speechless.
The fans in front of the TV were eating at noon. I knew not to turn on the TV!
After all this time, he was still looking for a way out for himself?
The Lakers had 16 wins and 7 losses, while the Clippers had only 13 wins and 11 losses. The two teams were one level apart. If Liu Mang won, it would be an upset!
But the analysis was correct. The Lakers basically relied on the "drug-taking" combination to drive the whole team. If it weren't for the strong threat of these two people to attract defense, the other people wouldn't have been able to play such good data.
There were many Kobe fans in front of the TV, and they were already gritting their teeth at Liu Mang.
But not many people turned off the TV.
It was so rare!
And this was a commentary method that the court station had never had before.
While Liu Mang was "meticulous analysis", the director notified that the game had started and switched the screen to the court.
Yao Ming and Kaman had come to the center circle, and the referee was already selecting the ball.
Coach Zhang pushed the starting list in front of Liu Mang and asked Liu Mang to introduce the starting lists of the two teams. Coach Zhang is still young and has to comment on at least two games a week. He doesn't want to be in the spotlight, nor does he want to give it to Yang Yi.
"Today, the starting lineups of the two teams are: the Clippers, who are at home, are led by Alien Cassell, Old Cat Mobley, perhaps the strongest small forward in the NBA, Maggette, Captain Brand, and Flying Hair Brother Kaman.
The Lakers are led by Abyss Death God Parker, the second shooting guard in the West, Kobe, the second generation of the ball, Walton, the left-handed magician Odom, and our BIG-YAO." Liu Mang quickly read the starting lineups of the two teams.
Everything else is fine, but what the hell are Abyss Death God and the second generation of the ball?
Smush Parker has been scolded by domestic fans this year. If it weren't for him, the Lakers could have won at least two more games. It seems that the average data of 11+2+3 per game is okay, but his defensive efficiency is -3.6, which is negative.
Last season, Smush Parker played a total of 16 games in the Suns and Pistons, averaging 3 shots per game and averaging 3 points per game... This season, he became the starting point guard of the Lakers.
The second generation of the ball is a little easier to understand. Luke Walton is famous because of his father. He is a famous son of a tiger father.
Originally, the nickname of Death God Parker became popular after he helped Kobe complete a double buzzer-beater in the Lakers' 2006 playoffs. He became famous and became popular after Kobe said that his teammate was "Smush is the worst teammate". Smush-Parker was very popular for a while, and the nickname became popular and became a nickname for fans to mock "Teammate CBA".
But now, Liu Mang has made this nickname popular in advance...
The referee came to the court with the ball and directed the positions of the two teams. Yao Ming and Kaman, two big centers flying low, jumped the ball...
Yao Ming won the jump ball with a huge advantage, but he couldn't jump up. The importance of height was reflected.
"Okay, Yao won the jump ball. The Lakers got the first round of offense. Kobe is in control of the ball. Let's see how the Lakers will play this first offense." Coach Zhang said.
Kobe received the ball and pushed forward.
When he arrived at the frontcourt, he saw that it was Mobley who was defending him, and Kobe broke through quickly!
His speed is not the fastest among shooting guards, but he can be ranked in the top five. After losing weight, his strength is not the strongest among shooting guards, but he can be ranked in the top three. His burst speed is not the strongest, but he can also be ranked in the top five among shooting guards...
Mobley didn't even want to stop Kobe. He played in Los Angeles. He was the NBA player who saw Kobe the most times in a year, except for the Lakers players.
Kobe rushed to the basket, Yao Ming had already moved to the free throw line and stopped Mobley who wanted to chase him. Brand, who wanted to retreat, saw Yao Ming pulling here and had to come up to defend to prevent Kobe from passing to Yao Ming.
Kobe jumped up to meet Kaman!
Liu Mang shouted at this time: "This ball is unreasonable..."
Then Kobe directly slammed the ball into the basket through Kaman...
Coach Zhang broke the stage at the right time: "Although it is unreasonable, it went in! Kobe's dunk over people! Look, Kaman's expression was scared!"
Hearing the call of Coach Weiping-Bryant, Liu Mang wanted to say: Coach Zhang... you are exposed...
"Kobe-Bryant, ability evaluation 100 (peak), offense 100, defense 94, three-pointer 85, mid-range 97, layup 99, speed 92, strength 90..."
Looking at Kobe's ability evaluation, it is similar to what Liu Mang expected. Kobe at his peak is similar to the other two era-level superstars, O'Neal and Duncan.
In terms of scoring ability, Kobe is one level higher than the current players in the league, and only Liu Mang has the opportunity to compare with him.
The ability evaluation of the two basic skills of three-pointers and mid-range shots is higher than Liu Mang expected, but Liu Mang thinks that with Kobe's shooting choices, he still has a 36% three-point shooting rate and a 46% shooting rate so far this year, which seems to be really necessary.
Just that ball, Liu Mang thinks it is really unreasonable!
A little slower, let Brand make up for the defense, Yao Ming will have an open mid-range shot at the free throw line.
Liu Mang thinks Kobe plays basketball so eccentrically! He doesn't think about his teammates at all: "If it were me, this ball... I would probably be three steps slower and then dunk with the strongest first step... Anyway, I won't force it!"
The Clippers' defense still has a big problem. Everyone focused on Yao Ming and Kobe, but still couldn't defend them.
But then the Clippers' Maggette crushed Luke Walton to the basket. He would never layup if he could dunk, and would never shoot from close range if he could layup. Maggette forced a layup, causing Luke Walton to foul.
Maggette made two free throws and returned two points.
It was the Lakers' next round of offense. This time Odom pushed the ball forward, Yao Ming pulled to the high mid-range on the right, and there was no one under the basket. Odom passed the ball to Kobe at a 45-degree angle on the left at the top arc.
"Odom passed the ball to Kobe, and cut to the inside. Ace, this move is similar to yours!" Coach Zhang was originally talking about running positions, but when he saw Liu Mang next to him, he thought of Liu Mang's moves that were exactly the same as Kobe's, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Ahem, this guy, secretly learned from me, forget it, his skills are all stolen from Jordan, it's normal to learn from me, the MVP!" Liu Mang showed his "magnanimity".
Then Liu Mang immediately changed the topic and quickly explained the situation on the court: "Kobe's high-post back-up, the old cat can't stand it, Kobe turned left, Kaman came to help defend, did Kobe pass? He didn't! This ball is too unique, he shot... Dayao was already open... too unique..."
"Shua..."
The sound of the missed shot and the ball going in, which was specially amplified by the microphone on the scene, reached Liu Mang's ears, and Liu Mang was stuck for a moment.
"Although it's unreasonable, it's a good shot if it goes in!" Coach Zhang began to deny his own reasonable theory.
The fans in front of the TV heard Liu Mang's voice suddenly stop, and they couldn't help laughing. For the first time, they found that they liked Coach Zhang's commentary so much.
It was the Lakers' offense again. After Yao Ming helped Kobe with a pick-and-roll without the ball, he cut into the basket from the left. Kobe came out and received the pass from Luke Walton, attracted the double-teaming of Kaman and Mobley, jumped up and passed the ball to the inside, and Yao Ming dunked and scored two points.
"Kobe made a good pass for this ball. Yao Ming can't catch this kind of ball in the Rockets..." Coach Zhang said proudly.
"No, he passed it because he had no other choice, otherwise he would never pass it..."
In a flash, when Yao Ming returned to defense after dunking, he turned around and slapped the ball sent by Maggette. Kobe was the first to hold the ball, but there was sweat on the floor, and he didn't stand firmly and fell down!
Liu Mang shouted excitedly: "This ball is going to be lost, this guy, wasting Yao Ming's steal..."
"Hey, it's saved, Kobe was fouled, two free throws!"
"..."
"Yao Ming defended this ball well, but it's a pity that someone wearing No. 8 on the outside line didn't defend Mobley and Cassell."
"Ace, come and defend both of them? As if Kobe has a clone! This ball is Parker's problem."
"Kobe was in this position, Yao Ming set a screen for him, he should have passed the ball back! Why did he shoot? It went in... It's not reasonable even if it went in! He's not a good teammate!"
"Ace, can you pass this kind of ball?"
"Dang... Dang... When the mountain has no edges..."
"Hahaha..."
Liu Mang and Coach Zhang had a fight. Coach Zhang didn't even play the "reasonable" joke. Liu Mang was playing it, and Coach Zhang was just beside him to sabotage him. Kobe used his performance on the court to help Coach Zhang sabotage him...
As for Yang Yi, he was ignored by Liu Mang and Coach Zhang.
Neither of them likes people who don't know how to respect others.
Liu Mang and Coach Zhang had a fight because they had good private tutoring, so they had a good time. As for Yang Yi... It was the first time Liu Mang met Yang Yi, and it was also the first time Coach Zhang worked with Yang Yi, so they were not happy.
Liu Mang was okay, but it was mainly because Coach Zhang, the old senior, was not so satisfied with Yang Yi.
The commentary combination of Liu Mang and Zhang Coach has a feeling of Barkley and Kenny Smith of T.N.T. Zhang Coach was forced to start "normal commentary", and the effect was unexpectedly good.
As for Yang Yi, he likes to interrupt, and it is not only Zhang Coach who is dissatisfied. Everyone in the court knows it, but he is a special commentator of the Basketball Association and the deputy editor-in-chief of the Basketball Pioneer, so he must be praised.
But this time, the director cut off his microphone, fearing that he would steal the limelight from Liu Mang.
But today, Kobe had a big explosion!
Before 2011, before Kobe's physical fitness had completely deteriorated, he was a famous physical monster who could go all out on offense and defense and ensure efficiency. His enthusiasm and hard work are unquestionable.
This season, Kobe's defense has been as hard as ever, but sometimes when he encounters the Clippers with three excellent outside players, he really has no choice. His assist defense ability is relatively average, and he is not good at defending without the ball.
Smush Parker and Luke Walton are both lagging behind in defense, and the Lakers don't have any better point guards and small forwards for the time being, so they can only rely on these two. They also need them to open up space and pass the ball on offense.
The Clippers have been keeping close to the score, which also gave Kobe a chance to explode!
Odom played well today, and he and Luke Walton did a good job of assisting and passing the ball, and the two did not covet data.
Yao Ming's playing style is very clear. He played six or seven minutes in each of the first three quarters and shot two or three times. It was the same today. He scored 4 points with 2 of 3 in the first quarter, 1 of 4 in the second quarter, 3 of 3 free throws for 5 points, 2 of 2 in the third quarter, 5 points, and 14 points in three quarters, which is not much different from usual.
However... After the Lakers played three quarters today, only two people scored in double digits. Yao Ming played 17 minutes in three quarters, scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Kobe scored 60 points in three quarters!
When Kobe hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer in the third quarter, he successfully scored 60 points in three quarters!
The Clippers played well today. They even overtook by 4 points at halftime. At halftime, the Clippers led by 4 points 61-57.
Brand scored 27 points and 9 rebounds in three quarters, Cassell scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists in three quarters, and Mobley and Maggette scored in double digits.
But in the third quarter, Kobe scored 27 points in a single quarter... In addition to Kobe's 27 points, Yao Ming also scored 5 points. The Lakers only had Odom's three-pointer in the third quarter.
The Lakers scored 35 points in the third quarter.
And what is the gap between the Clippers and the real strong teams with superstars... In the third quarter, Kobe can explode, Yao Ming can score 5 points stably with only two shots, and the Clippers can only be said to have scored 24 points steadily in the third quarter.
At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers surpassed the Clippers by 7 points with a score of 92-85!
"Look, Ace! 60 points! 60 points in three quarters! Kobe scored 60 points in three quarters!" Coach Zhang shouted beside him, making others think that Kobe won the championship.
Liu Mang was so tired after talking to Kobe for three quarters. Seeing this, he didn't want to talk anymore!
"Coach Zhang, I feel a little unwell. I'm going back first." Liu Mang wanted to leave this place!
"Wait! The game is still suspenseful. When the Clippers overtook at the end of the half, didn't you say that you like to watch this kind of game where the score goes back and forth? Come on, let's continue watching. We have a doctor with the group. Director, ask the doctor to check Ace..."
During the intermission, the live TV screen cut to the commentary booth. The fans in front of the TV, even if they were not Kobe fans, even Kobe haters, Lakers haters, and even Liu Mang's own fans, burst into laughter. Liu Mang wanted to escape, but Coach Zhang had ten thousand ways to deal with Liu Mang today.
The main reason why Coach Zhang had a way was that Kobe played well today!
In the third quarter of the game, Yao Ming scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, which was better than usual. He also gave Kobe 4 assists. Yao Ming's data did not decline because of Kobe's performance.
Kobe's big explosion allowed Coach Zhang to confront Liu Mang in all aspects.
Liu Mang saw that the Lakers were only 6 points ahead, and he was sure that the two teams would have to fight hard. He felt that he had no desire to live...
Liu Mang took out his mobile phone and pressed a few times in a pretentious manner: "Hello, is this 110? I want to call the police. There is a guy wearing No. 8 today. He stole something!
What did he steal? He stole Chamberlain's jersey! Don't look at it as No. 8, it's actually a modified No. 13!"
...
He played like crazy in the first three quarters, with 19 points in the first quarter, 14 points in the second quarter, and 27 points in the third quarter. Kobe played like crazy today.
He made 22 of 33 shots in the three quarters, 5 of 10 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, and 60 points in three quarters.
Then, Liu Mang could only sit at the commentary desk and listen to Coach Zhang's passionate commentary on Kobe's performance in the last quarter.
"Kobe scored another three-pointer..."
"Oh!!! Kobe was fouled!"
"Kobe went to the free throw line again..."
"Ace! I surpassed you! 71 points!"
"Ace... 80 points! 80 points... Kobe scored 80 points... What! Kobe is off the court! There are still 3 minutes left, and he won't play! Why? There is a chance to score 90 points!"
Liu Mang really couldn't listen any more: "Coach Zhang, are you my fan or Kobe's fan? We agreed to criticize Kobe together!"
"Ahem," Coach Zhang realized that the person who had previously maintained the highest score among active players was his commentary partner today: "Ace, of course I am your fan, and 80 points is not a difficult thing. Ace, I believe you can do it too! And I am a professional commentator, and the commentary cannot be biased, do you understand?"
Can't be biased? I don't believe you! Liu Mang was so upset, if he had known earlier, he would not have come to watch today's game!
…
…
"Ace, let's go to the interview together?"
"No! I won't go!"
The game ended, the Lakers beat the Clippers 121 to 103 away from home, and the score difference reached more than 20 points halfway through the fourth quarter.
After the commentary, Liu Mang ran away immediately.
Coach Zhang ignored Liu Mang and went to interview Mr. 80 Points.
People speculated that Kobe might have exploded because Liu Mang came to watch the game, and wanted to prove himself in front of Liu Mang.
Fans who watched the commentary on the court and understood Chinese joked that it was Liu Mang's words that angered Kobe and made Kobe explode.
Kobe scored 80 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Yao Ming scored 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Kobe scored 20 points in the last quarter, and 4 of the balls were passed by Yao Ming, and they were deliberately passed to Kobe. Kobe was double-teamed when he was holding the ball in the fourth quarter. Yao Ming first attracted the double-team away, and then passed the ball to Kobe.
Yao Ming basically got a triple-double without doing anything. Kobe's scoring was crazy today, attracting the defense. He could get four or five points in each quarter. He had 10 assists, and 5 of them were passed to Kobe, who made the shot directly.
Yao Ming helped Kobe attract the defense, not by leaving Kobe in an open position, but by giving Kobe a one-on-one opportunity, even if the defense was tied away.
Coach Zhang brought a cameraman to interview Yao Ming and Kobe.
"Haha, Yao, congratulations on your first triple-double!" Coach Zhang was very happy! But immediately, Coach Zhang changed the subject: "Kobe scored 80 points today. As a teammate, what do you think?"
Yao Ming responded: "It feels good to score 100 points with Kobe."
When Kobe was asked if he scored 80 points because Liu Mang came to watch the game, Kobe saw that it was a reporter from the court TV station and replied: "Why did I score 80 points? It's not because of Ace. I have a good relationship with him. Yes, we usually train together in love. The high-post techniques you see are all learned from me. As for the 80 points... Actually, the Clippers gave Ace free tickets, not to my wife. My wife didn't see me play so well, so I got angrier and angrier as I played."
"Wait, Kobe, Ace said that he taught you to play high-post back-to-back!" Coach Zhang, the big mouth, told tales.
"Watt?" Kobe's eyes widened! Looking at the seats on the sidelines, some celebrities and rich people have not left yet, waiting for Kobe to finish the interview and take a photo together. This is one of Kobe's jobs, but the five seats of Liu Mang's family are empty!
That bastard! Looking at the provocative expression of his old friend Wei Ping-Bryant from the court TV station, Kobe didn't want to explain! Justice is in the hearts of the people!
...
Liu Mang wanted to sneak away. He had sent a text message to Dina before, asking Dina to take the two girls and his father away first.
However, Liu Mang was surrounded by another group of domestic reporters. It was the Guangdong Sports Channel, which is also a well-known sports channel in China, especially in basketball.
"Ace, what do you think about Kobe getting 80 points today?"
Liu Mang was already depressed, and he was even more depressed after hearing this. He replied: "Thoughts? I dare not think! He has 80 points, what do you want me to say?"
"Then Ace, can you break this score? Get a higher score than Kobe?" The reporter continued to ask.
"What can I do? Do I have to get 81 points?" Liu Mang responded unhappily. Why doesn't this person know how to read people's faces?
So, Liu Mang said he wanted to get 81 points, and the reporter wrote it down.
This is not the point. The point is... the system prompt is here.
"Ding... Because the host said he wanted to get 81 points, the epic mission: God Eater is triggered."
"God Eater: Epic Mission... Mission Objective: Get 81 points in a single game..."
