Chapter 1291 1290. Giant Killer! (910, please ask for monthly tickets)

Pressure... As expected, it’s better to just tease the little Loli. The atmosphere was quite heavy yesterday when the match situation was revealed and the team meeting was held in the evening. However, after a good sleep, the fighting spirit of the Chinese team players was very high today.

Stretching out one's head is also a knife, and retracting one's head is also a knife. Who is hit without hitting?

In the afternoon, at one o'clock, after the Chinese team had rested, they went to the training ground of Saitama Super Arena to warm up.

At 2:30, Liu Mang entered the stadium with his teammates. The seats were full. This time the Chinese team fans had a crushing advantage!

There seemed to be no "foreigners" among the 47,000 fans in the stadium. In previous games, at least half were "foreigners." This time, it is estimated that 40,000 of the 47,000 fans are Chinese fans.

The attention of so many Chinese people has had some psychological impact on the Chinese team players.

Excited and worried! Both emotions are clearly written on the faces of the Chinese team players.

Seeing this situation, Liu Mang said to his teammates: "Don't worry, we will make money when we win. They don't dare to lose. They are under greater pressure than us!"

The Chinese team still has a slight psychological advantage. The Chinese team is not afraid of losing!

If you reach the top four, you have already broken the national team's record in the World Championships. If you lose, you still have a chance to compete for the bronze medal. If you win... then you will make a lot of money.

After hearing Liu Mang's words, the teammates looked towards the US team. All the US team players looked solemn... Except for a certain player, Dwight Howard, who was still smiling on his face, looked so out of place.

Like Liu Mang, the other players on the Chinese team were immediately attracted to Howard.

So... special.

I don't know why, as an opponent, when I saw Howard's smile, I really wanted to punch him. This guy was still smiling when he was so nervous!

Look down on people!

Howard played a vital role in relieving the pressure on the Chinese team players!

When it was time to play the national anthems of the two countries, the players from the two teams came to the court and briefly said hello.

After the national anthem was played and the last few minutes of preparation time were over, Liu Mang came to the technical stage and asked the referee who was communicating with the technical stage: "Sir, can I sprinkle magnesium powder?"

This referee, whom Liu Mang had never seen before, probably knew Liu Mang. He nodded and said, "Okay."

With permission, Liu Mang wiped his hands with magnesium powder, then grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and threw it into the air, and came on stage!

The fans at the scene saw this scene, and the cheers that had fallen silent due to the playing of the national anthem started again!

This is the first time Liu Mang has used powder at this World Championships! There's a familiar feeling among fans.

The players on the American team also felt a sense of familiarity when they saw Liu Mang spreading his powder.

We are going to play against the MVP of the finals for three consecutive years!

…

The Chinese team's starting lineup has not changed, and Liu Mang, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming have been sent to the starting lineup.

For the U.S. team, the starting lineup of Hinrich, Wade, James, Boozer, and Kwame Brown appeared.

Liu Mang looked at the opponent's lineup. Hinrich had an ability evaluation of 84, Wade had an ability evaluation of 92, James had an ability evaluation of 83, Boozer had an ability evaluation of 88, and Kwame Brown had an ability evaluation of 80.

James is much better than two years ago. James is mainly on the defensive end. The biggest improvement is Wade, who has greatly improved his mid-range shooting. He is already a top star in the international arena and has a certain three-pointer in the international arena. accurate head.

Starting power forward Boozer and backup small forward Jamison both have 88 ability ratings.

Liu Mang was sizing up his opponent, and James and Wade were also sizing up Liu Mang.

Their advantage in the international arena has dropped sharply. Wade is a little better. Although he is not as dominant as the NBA, he can still effectively use his hard-earned mid-range shot. James is the worst. In addition to defense, he rushes in and is beaten to death on the offensive end. There is no whistle, and he often walks when he gets to the basket... His three-pointers, which are already passable in the NBA, have become very poor in the international arena.

But Liu Mang is good, in the international arena he is as promiscuous as the NBA!

It's so irritating, these two are the players on the US team who want to win the most.

Especially James and Wade both defeated Liu Mang twice in the playoffs. James...it's hard to win yet.

Yao Ming and Kwame Brown came to the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.

Yao Ming looked at Kwame Brown, the center who defeated him in the finals. Not to mention he was very excited. He was already ready to beat the opponent to death if he failed to win the ball.

Kwame Brown swallowed his saliva. This was the first time that he didn't want to be the starting center of the US team. The boss was opposite him, and Yao Ming, who was playing against him in the finals, was also opposite...

jump ball!

The referee blows the whistle to start the game and throws the ball into the air.

Liu Mang has reached the top arc and is ready to defend.

Without any suspense, Kwame Brown pushed the ball backwards, and the American team attacked first!

Liu Mang stays at the top of the arc, playing in a strong national team, but not as well treated as the club. Wade, the strongest perimeter player on the US team, needs him to defend him.

Wade advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Hinrich said he was a point guard, but in fact he was a shooter, and Wade was the main point guard.

When Wade arrived in the frontcourt, Liu Mang immediately pressed forward, guarding the shot but not the breakthrough. Wade was not in a hurry and observed the situation on the court.

Yao Ming's big body gave Wade a headache under the basket. Since the shape of the FIBA ​​three-second zone is a trapezoid, and the longest distance is smaller, Yao Ming seems to occupy a larger area!

James' running position was not very good. He stood at a 45-degree angle and did not move. Hinrich's running position was closely pursued by Wang Shipeng. He did not have very good running ability or the speed to get rid of the opponent.

Wade knew that if he directly broke into Liu Mang, Liu Mang would definitely get into Yao Ming's defensive range, so he chose a pick-and-roll!

It's not James. Wade said it's better not to use James' pick-and-roll effect in the international arena. He's looking for pick-and-roll master Boozer!

Wade and Boozer set up a pick-and-roll. Liu Mang was already ready. He bypassed the pick-and-roll and flanked Wade with Wang Zhizhi. Boozer cut in and Wade quickly distributed the ball to Boozer. Boozer was in the third He caught the ball on a diagonal line from the wrong side of the second zone and took a shot... Yao Ming stood still in the three-second zone, stretching his arms to block his shooting path. …

Boozer was a little confused, why didn't he move? Don’t come out either!

correct! Not three seconds!

Boozer's rhythm was messed up. He was prepared to cut in to catch the ball and deceive Yao Ming with a fake move before making a layup, but Yao Ming didn't stumble at all!

Boozer immediately made a decision and took the initiative to press forward. Yao Ming then moved his steps and pressed forward. At this time, Boozer passed the ball to Kwame Brown on the other side of the three-second zone. Kwame Brown received the ball and took off. , Yao Ming had his back to the basket. As one of the two best players in the US team, Boozer made Yao Ming very afraid. He ignored the behind and ignored Boozer's passing as the core of the Jazz team's inside!

However, Liu Mang had already rushed inside at this time!

"Ding... Giant Killer is triggered at level 5. When the host blocks a player taller than 2.08 meters, the bullet speed increases by 20%, the bounce +5, and the blocking awareness is greatly improved..."

When Kwame Brown smashed the ball down, Liu Mang came first and slapped the ball that Kwame Brown smashed down with precision!

The ball was swatted away from Kwame Brown's hands by Liu Mang and bounced off the basket. At this time, Yao Ming, who turned around, just reached out to collect the defensive rebound!

The fans at the scene exploded!

The scene just now was so amazing! Fans who have watched Liu Mang block Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Odom in the Finals are lucky. For the first time, they were shocked when they saw Liu Mang's head almost flat as he bounced high and fast when he blocked a shot!
