Chapter 1389 1388. What a Group of Good Brothers
“Ding… Title buff: Public enemy of basketball is triggered. Madison Square Garden fans will definitely turn against the host and cheer for the host when they see the host. The morale of the Knicks players is greatly affected, their self-confidence drops sharply, and their hatred for the host increases sharply…”
When Liu Mang heard this system prompt, he was already being double-teamed by Marbury and Quentin Richardson without the ball…
And it was double-teamed outside the three-point line!
Liu Mang was blocked by two people one step to the left of the top arc. Marbury blocked Liu Mang’s cut-in route, and Big Q interfered with Liu Mang’s shooting space with his height.
Liu Mang was about to vomit blood! He didn’t even have the ball, so why defend his shooting!
Liu Mang felt more comfortable when he went around to defend and receive the ball.
Rondo was stunned when he pushed to the frontcourt!
The Spurs defended Liu Mang, which was at least a bit tactical, while the Knicks used biological defense!
Eddy Curry in the interior also had the tendency to make up for Liu Mang if he avoided Marbury’s cut-in, regardless of whether Liu Mang had the ball in his hand.
Rondo didn't know what the other coach was thinking. He felt that the players on the opposing team were not bad, but there was no so-called tactics on the defensive end!
In fact, Isaiah Thomas on the sidelines was also desperate. It's not that he didn't arrange tactics. James Dolan equipped him with several assistants, all of whom were well-known tactical masters in college, and were hired with high salaries. Some of them were paid more than him, but... the players didn't listen to the arrangements at all.
Rondo calmed down his shock and immediately thought of an idea and passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang received the ball easily, but there was no shooting space!
Rondo cut in, Marbury and Big Q ignored him. Big Q focused on blocking Liu Mang's shooting, and Marbury focused on blocking Liu Mang's breakthrough.
Liu Mang grabbed the ball with one hand, protected the ball sideways, and said to the two people who doubled him: "Hey, look over there, the rookie is cutting in the air!"
But the Knicks' star guard combination ignored it, and Liu Mang had no choice but to see Rondo enter the free throw line and lob the ball in.
Rondo received the ball and easily made a layup to score two points.
Eddy Curry only cared about positioning with Kwame Brown and preparing to help defend Liu Mang who might cut in. He ignored other people who went into the inside. Liu Mang got an assist at the beginning and helped Rondo get two points.
Not only was he not active on the defensive end, Eddy Curry also didn't grab rebounds.
When the Knicks attacked, Marbury's quick stop jump shot was interfered by Rondo and almost missed. The ball fell along the basket. Eddy Curry didn't grab it, but just blocked Kwame Brown, and Rondo turned around and took it.
Not letting Liu Mang score, not letting Kwame Brown grab rebounds, and not letting the two stars of the same class feel comfortable were Eddy Curry's only goal today.
Rondo took the defensive rebound, and McGrady keenly smelled a chance! He immediately asked Rondo for the ball.
After McGrady advanced to the frontcourt, he continued to give the ball to Liu Mang who was double-teamed, and then went up to help Liu Mang with a pick-and-roll!
Liu Mang was so touched when he saw McGrady coming to screen and roll: "What a brother!"
Liu Mang was ready to break through with McGrady's screen and roll...
"Fuck! Damn..." Liu Mang cursed in Chinese!
In addition to switching to defend Rondo's big Q, Marbury and Jarrett Jeffries quickly blocked Liu Mang at the top arc!
"Fell into the trap!" Liu Mang watched McGrady cut in, waving for the ball while cutting in, really wanted to kill this bastard with one ball, but still passed the ball in.
McGrady cut into the inside and received the ball, Eddy Curry quickly dodged, and McGrady scored two points with a one-handed slam dunk.
"These bastards, the day before yesterday they formed a group to brush assists, today they formed a group to brush points!"
Liu Mang complained in his heart, but he still passed the ball when he should.
After two rounds, Liu Mang got angry!
Liu Mang didn't score a point in two rounds. Seeing that the Knicks players who lost two goals in a row did not have the impatience and anxiety of being scored by the opponent, but instead had a sense of relief, Liu Mang was so angry!
When the Knicks were attacking just now, it was Marbury holding the ball and playing one-on-one. This time it was Big Q's turn to play one-on-one, and McGrady was sticking to Big Q.
McGrady's defense today was unusually serious, mainly because the two had played against each other in high school, when Big Q was better than McGrady. After Kobe and O'Neal graduated from high school, Mount Whitney High School led by Big Q was the strongest in the United States, and Old Ben High School led by McGrady was the second strongest in the United States.
"Sure enough, as expected, they are taking turns to play..."
Liu Mang let go of Jarrett Jeffries and quietly approached Big Q who was concentrating on playing one-on-one against McGrady. Big Q squeezed McGrady to the mid-range and forced a jump shot...
McGrady defended very well. Although he couldn't block it, he didn't lose his position. He tried his best to interfere with Big Q and shoot. Big Q played one-on-one against McGrady, so naturally he focused all his attention and didn't notice other people approaching. He avoided the block and forced a backward move... a shot!
Liu Mang rushed out from the side and slapped the ball that Big Q had just thrown!
There was a rebound, Kwame Brown excitedly rushed to grab the ball, but was blocked by Eddy Curry in the inside. Kwame Brown couldn't squeeze Eddy Curry's 150 kg weight. This guy was fatter than O'Neal at his fattest time, and the key was that he was very flexible! Finally, there was a rebound after a block from the outside that could be grabbed.
Just as Kwame Brown excitedly rushed to grab the ball, a bigger hand grabbed the ball away...
After catching the ball, No. 24 rushed to the front court like a dog was chasing him. When he rushed to the front court for a layup, he was knocked over by Marbury and Big Q who chased him and got two free throws. Kwame Brown was stunned...
"The boss is here to grab a rebound from me again!"
In the frontcourt, Liu Mang, who was knocked to the ground, rolled over and lay on the floor, looking at Marbury and Big Q. He almost got two free throws. These guys did an even better job than the Spurs!
He was knocked down but not injured. When Liu Mang rushed forward, he noticed the two crazy dog-like guys behind him. He just made a shooting motion and took the initiative to release his force when he bumped into them to avoid injury.
Of course, it is difficult to control the shooting accuracy of the sky cannon.
Going to the free throw line, Liu Mang made two free throws.
2 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 1 block...
After three rounds, Liu Mang almost filled up the data column!
The opponent was desperately defending, but his teammates felt like they wanted to take advantage of this situation to gain points...Liu Mang was forced to become an all-round warrior!
"I want to prevent you from dying! I also want to prevent you from dying!"
Liu Mang was furious!
Teammates...can't beat them up. There are so many people, no matter how skilled they are, they can't do it.
Then you can only fight your opponent!
"Only by guarding can you have a chance to counterattack and score. Normal shooting will not work..."
Liu Mang is quite calm, and his "cold-blooded" characteristic allows him to eliminate these negative emotions as much as possible.
Now that everything was like this, Liu Mang immediately strengthened his belief and guarded against the opponent's death!
