Chapter 1523 1522. Welcome to the Realm of God (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Jackson replaced Fisher with Odom, replaced Ariza with Barnes, and replaced Gasol with Wang Zhizhi. The Lakers' lineup became Odom, Kobe, Barnes, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming.

In the first half of the first quarter, Yao Ming stood under the basket on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he opened up the space for mid-range shots and conserved his energy. This was the moment he was waiting for.

Gasol was the one who tired the most during the Lakers' tactics in the first half of the first quarter. He was the one who rushed for rebounds, organized the offense, and even scored...

With the two superstars Kobe and Yao Ming restraining the defense, Gasol showed his versatility very well, but of course, it was also very tiring.

Coach Kruger asked Liu Mang to return to the point guard position. Wade was not replaced for the time being. Before the time came, McGrady moved to the shooting guard position, and Marion played small forward. Originally, the power forward was the Hawks' position. When I started preparing for the Christmas game, I planned to mainly use O'Neal, but I had to switch to Scola, and Gasol was replaced at the center position.

Except for Kobe, all the players on the Lakers team are over two meters tall. On the Eagles team, all players except Liu Mang are over two meters tall!

After the timeout, the Lakers attack.

McGrady continued to guard Kobe, Liu Mang guarded Barnes, the opponent's weakest perimeter attacker, and Scola guarded Wang Zhizhi in the corner.

After Yao Ming came to the basket, he saw the big fat man next to him and showed the same look in O'Neal's eyes as when he saw Gasol.

Although he had seen the Hawks use Gasol to deal with O'Neal, Howard and others before, when he faced such a mess in person, Yao Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Yao Ming rarely encounters players with an exaggerated size than him. Except for O'Neal and Ostertag, this is the first time!

Yao Ming remembers that Gasol was not like this two years ago. At that time, Gasol, who was only 20 years old, looked similar to his brother. Now... the elder brother on the bench no longer wants to recognize his younger brother.

"Ding... It's absolutely versatile. It can organize the offense like a point guard. It can act as a space-opening shooter like a shooting guard. It can break through and attack the opponent's defense like a small forward. It can cover defenses like a power forward. It can act like a center. Still guarding the basket and fighting for rebounds, from Lamar Odom.”

Liu Mang followed Barnes to the other corner corresponding to Wang Zhizhi. He heard the system prompt and looked at Odom, who had a frivolous face after receiving the ball near the midline.

"It's going to kill people." Marion looked at Odom, who was dribbling from the center line toward the three-point line like a point guard after receiving the ball from the front court. He concentrated all his attention. From a certain angle, , Marion felt that the most difficult thing was to guard against the guy in front of him.

Facing Marion's defense, Odom gained some interest. After reaching the top arc, Odom began to break through!

Fancy moves like a streetball player! Odom completely treated the game like a playground!

Odom is like Antetokounmpo with reduced explosive power, enhanced shooting ability, and more tonnage. Odom is a left-handed player. He pretends to break through from the left and uses his body to create fouls, deceiving Marion into another Move and lower your center of gravity in preparation for confrontation.

Suddenly, Odom stopped like a defender, deftly took a small step to the right, and swung the ball behind his back with his left hand...

Odom dribbles past someone from behind! Marion is out of position!

Just when Odom had a chance to get rid of Marion's defense, he dribbled behind his back and was about to break into the inside. Odom suddenly pushed the ball from his waist to the inside.

Yao Ming, who was carrying Gasol, reacted very quickly to receive the ball.

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

The operation was as fierce as a tiger, but in the end it was a pass?

Normal people will never understand what Odom is thinking. Fortunately, Yao Ming was not deceived by his teammates. He insisted on following the tactics and taking good positions in the paint. Otherwise, Odom's sudden pass would have been inevitable. Mistakes.

Odom wasted a few seconds by "playing" like playing tricks. Yao Ming had to make a quick decision. After receiving the ball, he adjusted his center of gravity and hit the back with all his strength...

An embarrassing scene occurred...

The fans at the scene cheered when Odom broke through. Odom had a chance to get inside and then passed the ball inexplicably, which made the fans at the scene very embarrassed. At this time, Yao Ming received the ball and was about to attack. The fans at the scene were once again Detonate, the wild low singles of the strongest center are coming!

Then, the fans seemed to have their necks pinched again...

Yao Ming hit Gasol behind him with all his strength. Gasol just leaned his upper body back a little, and his feet slipped half a step on the floor...

Yao Ming failed to knock Gasol away!

Compared with O'Neal's collision in the Hawks' opening game, Yao Ming was actually more powerful, but he still couldn't knock Gasol away!

"I, Marc Gasol, only have to play four games a year!"

This is what Gasol said when the team went to a nightclub to drink with O'Neal and got too drunk.

Now Gasol has proved with his strength that as long as he doesn't take action in his rookie season, as long as he takes action, the strongest centers of the new and old generations will not be able to break through his "indestructible" defense!

Yao Ming was ashamed and angry. He squeezed Gasol and tried to use his height to beat him.

In addition to his tonnage, Gasol also has top-notch defensive awareness. Not just any fat man can stop O'Neal and Yao Ming from attacking in the low post. Gasol's positioning awareness and timing of active confrontations are all excellent. You have to be very good to do this. There are many fat men over 2.1 meters in Europe and the United States. He is the only one who can carry the old shark and peak Yao like Gasol.

Seeing Yao Ming turning sideways and trying to use his height to hit the ball high, Gasol had great awareness to block Yao Ming's right hand. Yao Ming was forced to turn around again, raised the ball with his left hand and threw it...

Yao Ming's turn was beautiful, but he was ready to turn left and use his right hand, but this time he turned right and made a left-handed throw, and the shot was crooked!

Yao Ming missed his first inside attack in this game!

Odom rushed inside immediately and wanted to make up the dunk, but an Eagles player wearing jersey No. 24 rushed in first and jumped, carrying Odom on his back, and took off the defensive rebound.

Yao Ming scored, and the Lakers had no problem retreating. Yao Ming hit the mid-range shot, and the Lakers retreated. There was no problem, but Yao Ming was in the low post, and the Lakers had a huge problem with the retreat!

Tracy McGrady and Marion jumped off the ball as soon as Liu Mang grabbed the defensive rebound.

After Liu Mang landed, he bypassed Odom and sprinted towards the frontcourt!

Barnes and Kobe retreated quickly. Liu Mang rushed forward without passing the ball. Odom was chasing after him. When Liu Mang came to the top of the arc, he stopped suddenly and took a shot. , Odom rushed forward and was knocked away!

Liu Mang took advantage of the situation and pulled up, stopped from the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer...

Hit again!

2 of 2 three-pointers, Liu Mang scored 12 points in a single quarter!

22 to 16, the Eagles lead by 6 points!

If it was Popovich, he would definitely call a timeout, and he wouldn't care about the fact that he just played an offense.

But Zen Master just didn’t want to let the players find their own way.

When the Lakers attacked, Yao Ming continued to drop low. This time Odom didn't play tricks and passed the ball to Yao Ming honestly.

Yao Ming squeezed for a while and found that he really couldn't squeeze. The opponent's tonnage was too large, and his positioning awareness was excellent, which made up for his lack of mobility. Yao Ming could clearly feel Gasol's defense. talent.

Just when Yao Ming was hesitating to return the ball to Odom, his outstanding height saw the movement of his teammates and immediately hit Gasol.

Gasol quickly lowered his center of gravity to meet the impact.

However, when they collided, Gasol didn't feel much power. Gasol, who also had excellent defensive awareness, immediately understood that there was a trick!

Sure enough, Yao Ming flicked his short arm and passed the ball to the middle. Kobe cut into the paint next to McGrady. He couldn't get rid of McGrady's pursuit, but he was stunned to face McGrady's blocking limit and threw the ball into the basket!

Kobe Bryant's super pull-up layup from an air cut to the ball helped the Lakers stop the bleeding.

But this is not the solution!

The Lakers couldn't stop Liu Mang, who was developed by Rondo!

Next, although the Eagles were broken and entered the offensive position, Liu Mang faced Kobe's defensive mid-range turnaround and made another fadeaway jumper!

14 points in a single quarter!

24 to 18, the Eagles still lead by 6 points!

When the Lakers attack, Yao Ming wants to follow the same style of play just now, dropping to the low post and observing the movement of his teammates.

Kobe also understood Yao Ming's thoughts, but this time Marion came to help defend when Kobe cut in. Marion and McGrady blocked Kobe without the ball at the free throw line. Odom was free in the mid-range and headed towards the basket. Cutting in, Yao Ming immediately distributed the ball to Odom.

Odom cuts in to catch the ball and wants to dunk. One No. 24 is blocked, and the other No. 24 rushes in!

When Odom raised the ball and was about to smash it into the basket, Liu Mang, who was shrunk in to cover the ball, slapped the ball away!

The ball was slapped out of bounds by Liu Mang! It's still the Lakers' ball, but there are only 7 seconds left in the attack time!

Liu Mang blew the ball with his left hand, raised his head and said to Odom: "Welcome to the realm of the basketball god, are you ready to face fear?"

The radio of the video equipment transmitted Liu Mang's voice to the ears of the fans in front of the TV. The camera also happened to show Liu Mang who was playing his left hand. He saw Liu Mang talking to Odom with his head raised, still the same. Content……

In front of the TV, some fans were scolding, some were cheering, and some felt goosebumps...

The scene was too noisy and I couldn't hear what Liu Mang said, but Liu Mang's arrogant look made the fans at the scene immediately booed Liu Mang.

Odom looked down at Liu Mang and suddenly smiled...

Liu Mang laughed so hard that he couldn't understand...

"Ding... the absolute talent is triggered, and the state is upgraded to the strongest state, from Lamar Odom."

"Lamar Odom (focused state), ability evaluation 95..."

"Damn! I want to dampen Odom's enthusiasm! Why is it different from what I thought!"
