Chapter 1076 1075. Air Traffic Control!

Liu Mang has used star cards of powerful players before, such as O'Neal and O'Neal Jr., but he has never had such a defensive feeling.

Although they all use power, the methods of use are very different.

The characteristic of O'Neal's star card is the enhanced ability to attack the basket, while O'Neal Jr. allows Liu Mang to use his strength in the mid- and short-range to separate the opponent and gain space for mid-range and short-range shooting. Generally speaking, they are all biased towards the offensive end. , allowing Liu Mang to naturally have a better offensive feeling. At the same time, after Liu Mang experienced that feeling, even if the effect of the star card was over, he also had a physical memory and psychological impression on the use of power.

When using Ben Wallace's star card, Liu Mang's defensive efforts and shot-blocking sense were clearly better!

Especially with the hot pot feast that Liu Mang copied from Ben Wallace, Liu Mang has a keener sense of smell in blocking shots!

The more extreme the player's star card, the more obvious the advantages and disadvantages, Liu Mang can often get unexpected results.

Of course, it has to be a star card like Ben Wallace, who is extremely weak but also extremely strong!

Originally, I just wanted to slow down the already slow tempo even slower, in order to retaliate against the opponent's lowering tempo.

But unexpectedly, the improvement in shot blocking exceeded expectations, giving Liu Mang the sense of sight of blocking the penalty area!

After Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound, he hugged the ball tightly to avoid being taken away. When he passed it to Liu Mang, the Lakers had already retreated.

Can't fight back!

Not only the Lakers felt a depressing aura, but the Hawks players also felt depressed. In other words, there was a heartfelt desire to play slowly and steadily.

Liu Mang received the ball from Kwame Brown and advanced slowly without rushing to counterattack.

He even defended Yao Ming once with three hats, but now Liu Mang is a bit off!

Liu Mang reached the frontcourt and passed the ball to Jason Terry, who continued to single out Fisher.

"Ding...Feature: Substitute King triggers..."

The characteristic of Jason Terry, the King of Substitutes, usually has a low chance of being triggered, but when playing against a strong team, the chance of being triggered is extremely high! Especially last season's playoffs, in the Eastern Conference playoffs, they almost exploded from start to finish.

Playing against the Lakers today, Jason Terry is feeling it!

After a high-end dribble, without moving anyone away at all, Fisher knew how to defend but his body couldn't keep up. He was just stunned. Jason Terry changed direction for a long time and found that Fisher was still where he was.

A little embarrassed, Jason Terry pretended that nothing happened and took a three-point shot...

Seeing Jason Terry throw the ball, Liu Mang felt it was off!

Liu Mang rushed to the basket immediately. After Jason Terry's shot, Kobe also retreated to the free throw line, preparing to pick up a rebound or something.

Yao Ming now has sufficient physical strength. When Kwame Brown squeezed into the position, he relied on his height to collect the defensive rebound and prepared to pass it to Kobe.

At this time, Yao Ming was careless. When he turned around to pass the ball, Liu Mang, who was rushed in, slapped the ball down.

After Liu Mang swatted the ball and bounced it, he immediately grabbed the ball and followed the momentum of the rush and passed Yao Ming, handing it to Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown had no problem putting the basket this time. Yao Ming turned around and Kwame -Brown has already raised the ball and thrown it. Yao Ming did not dare to touch it. Touching it would interfere with the ball.

The ball bounced off the rim and fell into the frame.

25 to 22, the Eagles took a three-point lead!

But Kobe's strength is really nothing to say. He finally got over the shadow he suffered... No, after Kobe recovered from the blood cap, after receiving the ball, Liu Mang just heard the system prompt that he was stubborn and triggered it again. With enough time to double attack, Kobe shot directly from outside the three-point line!

Prince interfered very well, but Kobe's fadeaway three-pointer fell into the frame with a "swish" sound!

Kobe scores in double figures! Got 11 points!

25 to 25, the Eagles just led by three points and were immediately tied again.

Liu Mang was puzzled. Others all became less confident the more they got stronger, even the future superstars like James at his peak. But this guy, the more he got stronger, the more confident he became. In!

However, the shooting rate of 4 out of 14... widened the gap with Liu Mang's 6 irons.

After Kobe Bryant scored, Kwame Brown picked up the ball and quickly sent it to Liu Mang. The counterattack still didn't happen. Firstly, there was invisible pressure from the Eagles, and secondly, the Lakers retreated quickly due to the pressure.

Both teams were under the pressure of Liu Mang's temporary Big Ben territory.

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, he was originally going to give the ball to Jason Terry, but Kobe and Fisher switched defenses!

There was no way, Fisher basically couldn't interfere with Jason Terry. Whether Jason Terry scored or not depended solely on his own touch. Today, Jason Terry felt good. Just now, he simply didn't expect Fisher to score. Scheer's defense was so "good" that he didn't falter at all, and his mentality was affected.

Seeing Kobe changing defense, Liu Mang stopped passing the ball and faced Fisher with a force!

Liu Mang quickly broke into the paint like he was strolling on the main road in the early morning. Devin George selectively let Prince go when Liu Mang was playing singles and attacked Liu Mang from a flank.

Liu Mang passed the ball to Prince in the corner. Prince did not hesitate or be afraid, and shot a three-pointer...

It's good to have courage, but you can't make a shot!

Fighting with Kobe, McGrady couldn't shoot three-pointers today, and Prince was even worse, missing all three shots! Too much force, and the shot went over! Cross the bridge!

Liu Mang's judgment of the ball he threw became very good. He saw that the force was too strong at a glance, and rushed to the left side of the basket.

Kwame Brown and Yao Ming were frantically blocking each other under the basket. Kwame Brown's role now was to consume Yao Ming. Liu Mang rushed up to grab the offensive rebound!

Yao Ming was shrouded under the basket, and Liu Mang made a long pass to Prince in the right corner again. Prince received the ball and shot another three-pointer...

Still missed!

Yao Ming continued to block Kwame Brown this time, wanting Wang Zhizhi who rushed in to grab the rebound.

However, Liu Mang blocked Wang Zhizhi. The blocking ability brought by Solid as a Rock and Iron Mountain blocked Wang Zhizhi tightly. Wang Zhizhi had an advantage over Liu Mang, who was now rated 93 in strength, but was wiped out by the two major skills!

After the ball hit the basket, Liu Mang jumped high and grabbed the offensive rebound again!

The Lakers all retreated at this time. After Liu Mang landed, he quickly passed the ball to the free throw line. Jason Terry received the ball and made a free throw jump shot!

27 to 25, the Hawks led by two points again!

9 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. As Liu Mang played, his statistics began to rise!

However... there were still 3 turnovers...

The second quarter was only more than 3 minutes in!

After Jason Terry scored, the Hawks quickly retreated.

The two teams continued to fight anxiously on defense.

After Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Kobe and then went to open the bottom corner.

The reason why Fisher could play for so long was inseparable from the offensive style that only needed to advance across half court and occasionally run tactics. Kobe could do too much and had the physical strength to do it.

Kobe continued to use the triple threat stance to deal with Prince outside the three-point line on the left side of the top arc.

Kobe's triple threat, Pierce's triple threat, Anthony seems to have started using the triple threat this season...

Liu Mang's eyes lit up when he saw Kobe's posture. We are all brothers. The new year has arrived. It is inevitable to bother the three good brothers in Los Angeles in the summer...

Liu Mang has started to move towards the free throw line from the right 45-degree angle. Sure enough, Kobe made a fake shot, which raised the center of gravity of Prince, who was shocked by Kobe's three-pointer just now. Although he didn't jump up, Kobe caught this change in details! Kobe broke through to the inside!

Liu Mang quickly double-teamed, and Kobe made a strong mid-range shot...

"Bang"

The ball missed, hitting the front of the basket, the angle of the shot was tricky, and the rebound was strong. It bounced into the hands of Devin George who entered the mid-range at the right 45-degree angle.

Rasheed Wallace quickly rushed from the right bottom corner to the 45-degree angle on the right. Wang Zhizhi immediately cut in. Devin George passed the ball to the baseline. Wang Zhizhi received the ball while cutting in and rushed to the basket!

Yao Ming and Kwame Brown were on the left side of the basket. Wang Zhizhi saw an empty road leading directly to the basket. He excitedly jumped on the right side of the three-second zone, raised the ball, and smashed it towards the basket...

"Pa..."

"Fakyou..."

The fans around the basket rack cursed in unison, which was transmitted to the ears of the players on the court. The microphone that was receiving the sound from the sidelines also transmitted these sounds to the ears of the fans in front of the TV.

After Kobe shot, Liu Mang turned around and faced Wang Zhizhi who rushed in and jumped. He stretched out his left hand and slapped the ball raised by Wang Zhizhi, making a frontal block!

1.93 meters blocked 2.13 meters!

Wang Zhizhi was going crazy!

It's fine if Kobe was blocked, but Liu Mang blocked him head-on, even though he's so big! When he saw Liu Mang rushing up, he wanted to dunk over Liu Mang to show off, but he didn't expect to be blocked instead of showing off!

Rasheed Wallace got the ball!

Another bloody block!

Liu Mang got 4 blocks!

The Hawks' defense under the basket went crazy today!

And the one who went crazy was Liu Mang!

"Sorry, BIG-BY, air traffic control today!" Liu Mang looked up and said to Wang Zhizhi, who looked horrified, when he saw Rasheed Wallace get the ball.

After Rasheed Wallace and other Lakers players retreated, they gave the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang went to the frontcourt and Kobe switched back. Kobe was more afraid of Liu Mang's singles than Jason Terry.

But it's true that Fisher can't defend against players who are faster and taller than him. Three or four years ago, his defense was still good, but now, he can pass with one breakthrough.

Jason Terry broke through to the mid-range, Liu Mang followed in, Jason Terry stopped suddenly on the left side of the free throw line, Kobe, who was originally chasing Liu Mang, immediately made up for the defense, Jason Terry jumped up and passed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball and made a big shot!

Liu Mang started to shoot less from the outside, he would shoot three-pointers when he had a chance, but he didn't care about the mid-range, and focused on the basket and three-pointers.

29 to 25, the Hawks led by 4 points!

The Lakers attacked, Kobe continued to break through, this time he didn't stop or pass the ball, when he broke into the free throw line one step, he was double-teamed by Liu Mang and Prince, leaned sideways against Liu Mang, and flew...

Kobe's fadeaway jumper...

Liu Mang went up to block the shot, but it didn't cover him, there was nothing he could do, the opponent was almost lying down from the fadeaway, Kobe's fadeaway jumper went in!

The referee's whistle came a little too late, Liu Mang was called for a pushing foul!

"He's faking a fall!" Liu Mang lied with his eyes open as he looked at Kobe, who was sitting on the ground after being pushed by him after a fadeaway jump shot.

The referee ignored Liu Mang and confirmed the foul with the technical desk.

Kobe had just been pulled up by Yao Ming, and when he heard this, he was so angry that he held up his jersey! Kobe sucked in the sweat to calm down, this bastard deserved to be beaten!

Kobe walked to the free throw line and took a deep breath.

As a high school student, there were so many high school players on the field today. Liu Mang really wanted to ask the other brothers. Among the high school students on his side, the one with the highest free throw rate was Josh Smith's 74%! Why did this guy miss more than 80%?

Kobe made the free throw, and his score increased to 14 points. The Lakers also caught up to 28 to 29.

The defense of the two teams is getting more and more fierce!

On the Hawks side, it was Liu Mang and Jason Terry. Halfway through the second quarter, Prince was a little tired of defending Kobe, so he replaced him with McGrady to continue defending Kobe.

After Liu Mang showed incredible blocking ability in the interior, Kobe chose to play singles inside and outside the free throw line and not enter the three-second zone.

Liu Mang kept looking for opportunities to block Yao Ming, but Yao Ming was now responsible for opening up space to grab rebounds. The threat from Liu Mang under the basket was too great!

The efficiency of the two teams declined further in the second quarter. The Lakers and the Hawks had 19 rounds in the first quarter. The Lakers shot 18 times and the Hawks shot 20 times.

In the second quarter, the number of rounds dropped to 17 times!

The fight for rebounds, blocks at the basket, steals, mid-range and long-range shots...

The number of shots was more, but the shots were also more missed. There were more offensive rebounds, but they were not converted into points.

The Hawks had Liu Mang and the Lakers had Yao Ming. The baskets of both teams were real "restricted areas"!

In the second quarter, the Lakers only scored 18 points, and the Hawks only scored 19 points.

At the end of the half, the two teams tied at 40!

The crazy physical confrontation brought the rhythm to the freezing point, and the hit rate also dropped to the freezing point.

In the second quarter, the Lakers shot 8 of 21, and the Hawks shot 7 of 22, which was amazing!

This is the first time for the Hawks and the Lakers to play such a game this season.

It’s not that the two teams have not scored more than 80 points in a single game this season. The Hawks averaged 117 points per game, and there was a performance of less than 90 points. The Lakers also had a performance of 82 points in a single game, but they were not in this situation. Almost all of them had a bad touch.

In today's game, Jason Terry and Kobe had a particularly good touch, but they were iron. They could still shoot under such a double-team. Only they dared to shoot and had the ability!

But this is not the point.

At the end of the half, Liu Mang scored 13 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals... and Liu Mang's five blocks!

Liu Mang had 5 blocks, 3 steals and 4 rebounds in a single quarter on defense!

Liu Mang only scored 4 points in the second quarter, but his defense was on fire!

Liu Mang became more and more excited, but there was still a little regret.

Yao Ming only took 3 shots in the second quarter, none of which went in, and only got two points from free throws, but he also scored in double digits in the first half, with 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first half, which was also a good performance. However, today, all the inside players on the court were not as strong as a point guard in the defense dominance under the basket!

Liu Mang is very good at taking advantage of the existing advantages. If he was asked to defend Yao Ming or Wang Zhizhi, even Wang Zhizhi could sit high and shoot high. However, Liu Mang took advantage of the big confrontation today, the opponent's poor outside touch, Kwame Brown or Rasheed Wallace, Josh Smith and others under the basket to confront the opponent, and looked for opportunities to block the shot, bringing out the effect of Ben Wallace's star card!

Moreover, although Ben Wallace achieved the same effect by his own ability, he did it alone, while Liu Mang was different. He had teammates to help him position himself, so he only needed to focus on blocking and stealing.

Although he only had 35% of Ben Wallace's bonus, Liu Mang was fast and had good bounce, plus the bonus of the 5th level of the hot pot feast, and his teammates fully cooperated with Liu Mang after knowing that he was going crazy on the defensive end today. In terms of effect, Liu Mang's defensive effect was better than Ben Wallace!

Although Liu Mang had 5 blocks in a single quarter, it was still a pity.

There were two times when he was just a little bit away, just a few centimeters away, and was dodged by the tallest guy.

Liu Mang's target was him, that was him!
