Chapter 1395 1394. He Pushed It

Chicago's United Center, the home team's training facility.

Kevin Garnett is training with his teammates.

They're about to play the Eagles again tonight, and now they have more confidence than ever in beating the Eagles. They've done it before, they've beaten the Eagles.

However, Bulls players are very afraid of Liu Mang.

After entering 2007, Liu Mang's performance was so crazy that he increased his scoring average from 27 points to 32.3 points per game. The rest of the Eagles could see that they were in average shape, but they relied on Liu Mang's performance to make the situation come alive. The record improved to 38 wins and 16 losses.

As Grant Hill said, Eagles players have become accustomed to Liu Mang's excellence, including Liu Mang himself. They all feel that he should perform like that to support the team's current fatigue period, but players from other teams , especially those superstars, except for a few superstars who are very confident in their scoring ability, feel that they cannot perform like Liu Mang.

Just like Kevin Garnett, after the Bulls defeated the Hawks at home last time, he was very confident in the strength of his team. Of course, he is also very confident in his team now.

But... regarding Liu Mang, Kevin Garnett did not have much confidence in containing Liu Mang, which led to some unexpected gains for Liu Mang!

…

"Ding...Welcome to the Ice and Snow Festival. Due to the host's outstanding performance in this cold winter, a 'cold wave' has blown up in the NBA. The host has obtained a temporary team buff: Cold-Blooded Storm, with a validity period that lasts until the start of the All-Star Weekend."

"Cold-Blooded Storm: Team buff, reducing all negative buff effects."

When the Hawks came to Chicago, the Bulls had just returned to Chicago after playing an away game. On the morning of February 13, Liu Mang and his teammates came to the United Center for tactical training for the evening game. Arena, received this reminder.

Suddenly such a reminder came, and Liu Mang didn't know what happened.

"System boss, what's going on?" Liu Mang asked.

"Ding... The host's recent outstanding performance has made players from other teams very wary of the host's strength, and even fearful of it. The same is true for the Chicago Bulls players. The host makes opponents fearful and feels invincible. While putting pressure on the opponent, it also It will bring motivation and confidence to the host's teammates, and the players on the host's team are in a period of high fighting spirit, so they will receive a temporary team buff."

Listening to the system's explanation, Liu Mang understood.

This is quite an unexpected situation!

Liu Mang had never thought about how to deal with negative buffs before. Most of the time, he needed to find a solution right then and there, and he didn't give him that long.

This time, because I wanted to get 700 points in a single month, I worked hard to perform violently in the second half of the month, and unexpectedly discovered this mechanism.

This provided Liu Mang with important information on how to use his own strength to put pressure on his opponents, or how to alleviate a disadvantaged situation!

In the past, Liu Mang defeated Arenas and suppressed some of the top five players in the 2003 class. Then he won the game against them very easily. Liu Mang didn't even think about it. Anyway, if he won, he would win. .

But now, he discovered that there are still these aspects that can be used!

For example, this time, relying on the crazy performance in recent times, coupled with the fact that the two interior stars of the Hawks were selected as All-Star substitutes yesterday, and the All-Star weekend holiday is coming, they can rest for a week after playing one more game, which gave the Hawks players A lot of motivation, thus triggering this team buff.

Originally, the improvement in morale was only likely to allow players to perform well against stronger teams.

But Liu Mang has a system, and after the system digitizes it, it will have real results!

But...Liu Mang felt a little pained: "This buff has come too late! Winter has passed! The buff duration ends before the All-Star Weekend, which is the only game!"

Criticisms come to light, this can be considered an unexpected blessing. Liu Mang is already very happy to have a buff for a game.

Liu Mang analyzed it and felt that the conditions for triggering these buffs without missions were still very harsh. Liu Mang's performance had been crazy for more than a month, and he had to face the positive stimulation of his teammates because they were going on a long vacation. Next, this buff was triggered. It was not that easy.

But after all, his own strength has entered a major bottleneck period. He has reached the age of 24 and is about to enter the peak period. There is a long period of strength accumulation. Liu Mang feels that there is the possibility of improving himself or the team in any way. Very useful.

In Liu Mang's mind, the general direction of his career has been clear. The current stage is the accumulation period before the peak period. After reaching the peak period, his goal is to work hard to delay the peak period. After the peak period, due to the increase in age, In the stage of major physical fitness decline, the goal becomes to reduce the decline in physical fitness caused by age as much as possible.

Simple and clear goals are the key to Liu Mang being able to work hard towards a clear goal!

It was getting closer and closer to the national live broadcast time of 7:30 in the evening. When it was time to warm up, Liu Mang clearly felt the pressure hanging on the team.

The pressure of losing to the Bulls last time!

I haven't been on the court yet, and the negative buff of "Wolf Fear" has not been triggered, but the pressure of losing to the Bulls before has nothing to do with the negative buff imposed after the failure of this system task.

It's time for a short vacation, and the Hawks players have broken free from the fatigue period and the verge of numbness. The advantage is that everyone is more positive, but there are also disadvantages. The disadvantage is that they are calmer. Those unfavorable factors will also affect the players' self-confidence.

"These things can't be avoided. We can only beat them and break the wolf fear!"

While doing stretching massage, Liu Mang looked at his ability evaluation in the system panel. This is the source of his confidence. He can intuitively see that he is one of the best players in the league.

By the way, I looked at the star card. If it doesn't work, I can still use the big move!

...

At 7:10 pm, Liu Mang stepped into the Chicago United Center for the second time this season. The last time he encountered here was not very friendly.

A bad power forward who is good at angering opponents, a group of bad fans of the enemy team, ten rotation players of the opponent, except for the rookie Sefrosa, everyone else is at least a quasi-first-class star...

The pressure is so great!

The players of both teams were full of hostility towards their opponents. There was no communication before the game. Liu Mang, McGrady, and Luol Deng, who were from the same company, did not communicate at all. The on-court and off-court activities were clearly separated.

The players of both teams were conducting their own pre-game internal communication, shooting warm-up, and other things.

"Ding... The grudge is triggered. Both sides of the game will enter an excited state and try their best. The grudge between the Hawks and the Bulls."

"Ding... Wolf Fear: The morale of the players on the host's team declines when facing Kevin Garnett's team. They are in a highly nervous state against the team led by Kevin Garnett. Only players who are judged by the system to have iron-blooded or absolutely calm characteristics can ignore this negative impact."

"Ding... Kevin Garnett's talent skill Wolf Blood Boiling is triggered, the totem team is enhanced, there is no difference between enemies and friends, so that teammates and opponents are high-spirited in any basketball-related training and competition. Negative effect: The self-confidence of those who are not strong-willed will suffer a huge blow, regardless of enemies and friends."

"Ding... The cold-blooded storm is triggered, the effect of Wolf Fear is reduced, and the impact of Wolf Blood Boiling on the players on the host's team is reduced. The better the host performs, the stronger the negative impact is."

It's almost 7:30, and the live broadcast of the game in the United States is about to start. When Liu Mang just sprinkled magnesium powder into the air and stepped onto the court after triggering boos, a series of system prompts came!

This prompt... surprised Liu Mang!

I originally thought that the buff "Cold Blood Storm" was used to counter the negative buff "Wolf Fear", but I didn't expect that even the effect of "Wolf Blood Boiling", a talent skill determined by the system for Garnett's bad character and bad temperament, could be restrained!

"Can the impact be reduced when the Iron Blood Man roars?" Liu Mang asked curiously.

"Ding... All skills that have a negative impact on the host's team can reduce the impact. The better the host performs, the stronger the negative impact reduction effect."

"Oh oh oh..."

Liu Mang cheered loudly in his heart, his face full of excitement, standing on the side of the center line, next to Luol Deng, waiting for the game to start.

Liu Mang didn't notice that when the system prompt came, the players of both teams were looking at him spreading magnesium powder.

Seeing that Liu Mang was still so confident, his teammates gained a lot of confidence, while the players of the opponent Bulls felt the pressure from Liu Mang alone!

Garnett's signature opening action of roaring on the big screen was taken away by Rasheed Wallace. Now he is standing on the sidelines like Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown clapped his hands, while Garnett just roared...

This level is far behind Rasheed Wallace.

However, after Rasheed Wallace joined the Heat, he refused to roar at the beginning of the game.

After Garnett finished roaring, he came to the court and looked at Liu Mang with excitement on his face.

This guy can't see any pressure on him!

From a basketball perspective, Garnett admires Liu Mang very much, but... he has a feeling now...

"Am I lucky or unlucky to be in the same era with such a guy?" Garnett shook his head. He somewhat understood the feelings of those stars who were in the same era as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Bird.

Garnett stood on the other side of the center circle and prepared for a jump ball.

Kwame Brown also came to the center circle, and the high school students' showdown will start again!

The Hawks' starting lineup has changed today. Rondo was put on the bench. Liu Mang, McGrady, Battier, Marion, and Kwame Brown made their debut.

There was no change on the Bulls side. Hinrich, Sefrosa, Luol Deng, Garnett, and Ben Wallace made their debut.

At eight o'clock, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air...

"Beep beep beep..."

The referee blew the whistle continuously and pointed to the Hawks. Kwame Brown made a jump ball violation. The Bulls attacked first!

The negative buff effect is here!

Kwame Brown was too active. When the ball was just a little bit away from the highest point, he had already jumped and was seen by the referee!

In fact, Liu Mang does not think that fear is necessarily a bad thing. If he is not so scared that his legs are weak, a certain degree of fear of the opponent can make him more active, but he will not be able to control these small things well. Kwame Brown wanted too much to help his team get the first attack and the first attack in the fourth quarter, so he jumped early and was judged by the referee.

Seeing Kwame Brown running back in frustration, Liu Mang patted his back, comforted him, and came to the top arc to prepare to defend Hinrich.

The Bulls' sideline ball, Hinrich received the serve from Luol Deng and pushed forward, and Liu Mang immediately defended.

Seeing Hinrich trying to break through, Liu Mang was not too active, and was in a position to defend against both breakthroughs and shots. For ordinary players, such defense is full of loopholes for stars, but Liu Mang moves fast and is also top-notch among point guards!

"Ding... Feature: Gloves are triggered, and the host opponent will have the illusion of being covered by a big net."

Is Liu Mang's defense already at the top? Of course not.

If we only talk about the ability of assisting defense in the interior, Liu Mang is undoubtedly the best among the outside players, but his overall defense is only first-class.

But every time Hinrich plays against Liu Mang, he, a tough white player similar to Blake, feels uncomfortable.

Playing against Kobe or Kidd is not so uncomfortable, but playing against Liu Mang, he feels uncomfortable. He is worried about being blocked when shooting, worried about being blocked when breaking through, and feels like he will be stolen at any time when controlling the ball.

During the tactical meeting in the morning, Liu Mang applied to the coaching staff to defend Hinrich himself for this reason.

Hinrich is too stable. He is the first mature point guard of the 03 generation to achieve results. Rondo has a hard time dealing with him.

Hinrich was a little at a loss, and quickly asked Garnett to pick and roll.

Seeing Garnett blocking, Liu Mang immediately switched defense with Marion.

After Garnett blocked Liu Mang, he ran to the left side of the free throw line to prepare for the response. After the pick-and-roll, Hinrich encountered Marion's switch defense... He couldn't play. Marion was faster than him and had top defensive awareness, but the opponent switched defense, and Garnett must have a chance to be iron-blooded. Hinrich was ready to pass the ball... But... As soon as he picked up the ball, he stopped.

"Watt?" Hinrich looked at the other side of the basket, where the two people were almost hugging and throwing, and didn't know what to do!

How can a point guard fight with a power forward! This is not a heavyweight at all!

Just when Garnett ran to the left side of the free throw line after the pick-and-roll, he found something very strange. Liu Mang seemed to be ready for the pick-and-roll. From the moment he blocked Liu Mang, Liu Mang was moving against him and sticking to him. When he ran to the left side of the free throw line to ask for the ball, Liu Mang took the initiative to fight him.

Even if Garnett is not the strongest among the power forwards, he is still a muscular man. With a weight of 117 kg, he can barely play as a center, and his strength rating of 90 is not bad.

Liu Mang, even if his strength rating is also 90, is only a 1.93 meter point guard, and the difference in tonnage is too big.

But even so, Liu Mang was pushed away by Garnett's arm, and he immediately flexibly circled back, trying his best to be between the passing routes of Hinrich and Garnett.

Garnett wanted to run to catch the ball, but it didn't work. Liu Mang was much faster than Garnett!

Rondo on the sidelines looked at Liu Mang's defense, his eyes lit up, but he didn't know... This is what Liu Mang learned from the scene of Rondo defending Howard in the 2010 Eastern Conference Finals in the original time and space.

Garnett didn't have a chance to catch the ball for a long time, and Hinrich was double-teamed by Battier and Marion, and was about to make a mistake. Garnett couldn't help but push Liu Mang again.

Liu Mang was not prepared for the previous pushes, but he was ready this time!

After Garnett exerted force with his elbow... one second later...

"Ah..." Liu Mang flew sideways and fell to the ground.

The picture froze, Garnett's hands were still pushing people, the left foot was rooted in the ground, the right foot was on tiptoe behind, the calf, thigh, waist, shoulder, elbow exerted force in one go, and it was obvious at a glance, plus Liu Mang fell to the ground and screamed...

The screaming made the referee who saw Garnett's pushing action almost forget to blow the whistle...

"My leg is broken, I can't do it, you have to pay, Mr. Police... No, Mr. Referee, he pushed me, he pushed me, you have to make the decision for me..."

The referee ignored Liu Mang and blew the whistle, Garnett pushed people and committed an offensive foul!

I was a little busy today, and I started writing immediately after work. I will update a chapter of more than 4,500 words first, and there will be another chapter in the evening~
