Chapter 1167 1166. BIG-YAO's Fatal Blow

McGrady also held on with great strength. He defended very well this time and successfully prevented Kobe from breaking in. Kobe missed his fadeaway jumper!

Just when Liu Mang wanted to use Kwame Brown to block the exhausted Yao Ming to defend the defensive rebound, Yao Ming came out of nowhere with his last strength, knocked Kwame Brown away, jumped up hard, and beat the opponent. Kobe's shot returned to the basket!

The referee's whistle sounded and Kwame Brown blocked the foul!

Yao Ming gasped for a while, walked to the free throw line to receive the ball, rested for a while, and slowly shot the free throw...

In!

2+1! Yao Ming returned the favor to Liu Mang!

28 points and 14 rebounds! A match of strength against Biao Liu Mang’s 30 points and 20 rebounds!

Yao Ming's explosion at the last moment is truly amazing!

It is well known that Liu Mang has good physical fitness, and it is also well known that Yao Ming has poor physical fitness. Unexpectedly, Yao Ming completed a make-up dunk at the critical moment!

Just now, Liu Mang grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds to score 2+1. Yao Ming bears the greatest responsibility. Liu Mang grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row, which is unacceptable to the Lakers.

But now, Yao Ming has completed his redemption!

The core of the Chinese national team, both internal and external, completed a duel at the last minute!

People could expect Liu Mang's performance, but the Lakers' most powerful performance today was Yao Ming, who made 10 of 23 shots! This is beyond people's expectations.

With less than two minutes left and trailing by 1 point, a timeout should have been called. However, the Lakers did not want to call a timeout, but the Eagles had already called a timeout! If a timeout is called again, a technical foul will result in a direct free throw.

"Hold on!"

Liu Mang shouted to his teammates, and there were no substitutions at the last moment. There is no better lineup than this one. The Lakers' perimeter combination of Fisher, Kobe, and Odom is missing Tracy McGrady and Thompson. None of Lins can do it. It’s hard to say whether Jason Terry’s side can prevent Fisher’s singles at critical moments. In Game 3 of the 2010 Finals, if Fisher hadn’t scored 8 points in a single in the last few minutes, , the Lakers probably won't be able to return to Los Angeles in the Finals that year, and will watch the Celtics win the championship directly on the road.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. There were 1 minute and 47 seconds left after halftime. Both sides had at least two offensive opportunities. If Liu Mang wanted to be steady, he must score this goal!

Facing Kobe's defense, Liu Mang wanted to be steady in his mind, but his body was very honest. Seeing Kobe's steps tending to retreat, it seemed that he had taken some space to prevent the breakthrough when he made 2 of 11 three-pointers today. Defensive choice, Liu Mang immediately quickened his pace. Sure enough, Kobe subconsciously took half a step back to prevent a breakthrough!

Liu Mang made an emergency stop from the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer!

As soon as he landed, Liu Mang shouted toward the inside: "Rebound!"

The moment the ball was released, Liu Mang saw it was crooked!

He seized the opportunity very well, and his cold-blooded nature allowed Liu Mang to calmly seize the slightest opportunity. Taking advantage of the problem of Kobe's defensive tendency, Liu Mang seized the best shooting opportunity, but he missed the shot!

Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace quickly pressed in. Sure enough, the ball hit the basket. Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown desperately tried to grab the offensive rebound over Yao Ming's head. Yao Ming really didn't have the strength to fight and take off the ball. However, his height advantage worked. Yao Ming slapped the ball out and Fisher grabbed the ball!

Fisher received the ball without passing it and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.

Liu Mang chased after him closely, and Liu Mang didn't care about Kobe who was about to leave next to him. Fisher's current posture was to do it by himself!

Sure enough, Fisher rushed to a 45-degree angle on the left, stopped suddenly, and shot a three-point jumper!

Liu Mang blocked the shot towards Fisher. However, in this kind of crisis moment, not only was the right-handed player not used to blocking the left-handed player, Liu Mang, a left-handed person who can also be regarded as the dominant hand, also made a mistake in his judgment and hit Fisher. On Sher's head!

When Liu Mang slapped Fisher on the head, Fisher had already thrown the ball, and it even scored!

Fisher hit a three-pointer and scored 3+1!

The referee's whistle blows, the goal is valid, and there is an extra penalty!

Liu Mang committed six crimes!

He played for 47 minutes and scored 30 points and 20 rebounds on 10 of 31 shots. He also had 5 steals, 5 blocks and 5 assists...Liu Mang had luxurious statistics of 5 times 5.

However, at the same time, Liu Mang also made 7 turnovers and 6 fouls!

Liu Mang looked at Fisher who was knocked to the ground by him, and watched the referee indicate that the goal was valid and there would be an additional penalty. Liu Mang felt that the game seemed... over...

The six offenders left the field!

83 to 79, the Lakers are 4 points ahead of them!

If you add the penalty, it will be 5 points...

The key is, he was sent off!

Liu Mang has been ejected for flagrant fouls, technical fouls, and fighting. This is the first time he has left the field for these six fouls!

The referee didn't want to blow the whistle, but Liu Mang's defensive actions were too big in this game, that is, these two teams have multiple All-Star players. Otherwise, even if it is a playoff standard, there will be more fouls. Liu Mang was able to hold on until this point before being sent off, which was a great honor to the referee.

But Liu Mang's slap hit Fisher's face, and he slapped Fisher across the face and slapped him on the floor. It was fine that Fisher didn't get up to fight.

Trailing by 4 points, with 1 minute and 30 seconds left, even if the opponent takes extra penalties, it is not a point difference that cannot be caught up...

However, when Liu Mang walked to the bench, he was not thinking about this. He did a good job in limiting Kobe today, but Yao Ming's final explosion was really sudden. Liu Mang's 2+1 was really his routine operation, but Yao Ming's 2+1 and Fisher's final 3+1 killed the game!

Liu Mang is now thinking that he was still hesitating whether to use McGrady's moment before, but he didn't have a chance to use it at all! He was directly sent off to the bench for six fouls!

Liu Mang had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that he would lose the initiative because of six fouls!

…

Amid sighs at the scene, Liu Mang sat on the bench and watched Jason Terry replace him.

Fisher also made the free throw 84 to 79, and the Lakers led by 5 points.

Seeing Jason Terry miss his three-pointer by Kobe's mad dog defense, Kwame Brown hit the ball out and McGrady missed the ball. Yao Ming grabbed the rebound, and Kwame Brown hugged Yao Ming and committed a tactical foul, sending Yao Ming to the free throw line.

Yao Ming got two free throws, and Liu Mang felt that the game was over...

Now for Yao Ming, the easiest way to score is free throws.

Yao Ming has no free throw tradition of the Lakers center. Chamberlain's free throw rate was more than 50% in the seasons of more than 40 years. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a little better, about 70%, and O'Neal was more than 50%. But Yao Ming's free throw rate this season was 85.3%, which was 0.3 percentage points higher than Kobe's free throw rate this season.

Yao Ming slowly walked to the opposite free throw line and made two free throws steadily, widening the score difference to 7 points.

No matter how good Jason Terry was, there was no way to replace him suddenly and let him chase points.

Liu Mang was not angry or dissatisfied. His teammates played well today and did a great job on defense. If Yao Ming and Fisher hadn't scored 7 points in a row, the Lakers might not have scored 80 points in the whole game.

What Liu Mang valued was the strength of the Lakers!

It was better than Liu Mang imagined!

The last time we played against the Lakers on January 1, we didn't feel that the Lakers had such a good defense this time.

Now it seems that the Lakers at that time probably hadn't been fully integrated!

Odom's explosion on the defensive end made Liu Mang see that although the Lakers had a time bomb, it could also be seen as a silver coin with an angel on one side and a devil on the other. The devil side might have a higher chance, but if the angel side was shot... like today!

In the Zen Master's defensive system, Odom showed the feeling of a slightly weakened defensive version of Garnett this season or a weakened offensive version of Duncan this season. This game was probably the strongest form of the Lakers' defense when Odom was rarely able to stay focused throughout the game.

Odom's outburst was actually in the Hawks' prepared emergency situation, but they expected everything, but they didn't expect the Lakers to solve the problem by defense.

The Hawks missed another shot, and they didn't foul. Both sides missed one shot. With 9 seconds left, the Lakers stopped defending and let Kwame Brown go in and layup to get two points. The Hawks' score increased to 81, and Kwame Brown also got a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds.

The Hawks didn't foul, and the Lakers didn't play.

Yao Ming's 30 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 blocks, Kobe's 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks, Odom's 12 points and 15 rebounds, Fisher's 11 points, and 4 Lakers scored in double digits, defeating Liu Mang with 30 points and 20 rebounds, McGrady with 22 points, and Kwame Brown with 10 points and 11 rebounds, 86 to 81.

The game is over!

When the final whistle sounded, Yao Ming, Kobe, and Odom started to roar like they had won the championship. Yao Ming was so excited that he tore off his jersey!

Kobe was fine. He was venting his resentment of being suppressed by Liu Mang in the past two years.

For Yao Ming, this was the first time!

The first time in his life that he defeated Liu Mang!

Seeing Yao Ming after winning the game, he seemed to be reborn. He celebrated with his teammates and tore his jersey, just like he was drunk.

And Kobe looked like he was in trouble. Liu Mang wanted to point at his nose and say: It wasn't you who made the key shot, it was Yao Ming and Fisher! You can't even make the playoffs without a big center and Fisher...

But you have no right to speak after losing. Liu Mang remembered these words in his heart and said them when he had the chance. He didn't say hello. He just couldn't afford to lose... The main reason was that the Lakers wanted to be as excited as if they had won the championship. Liu Mang really didn't know if saying a word would disturb them. In that case, he simply didn't say anything.

When Liu Mang walked towards the player tunnel, he heard a familiar shout from behind the technical desk: "Win... Win... The Lakers finally won..."
