Chapter 174

"Ace, are you okay?" Coach Kruger asked worriedly.

If Liu Mang is tired and can't play in the fourth quarter, it will be a huge blow to the Eagles. It is really unexpected that Carter and the old version of Olajuwon can play such a role.

Ratliff must rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter. With such a big man, when he is the defensive core, unlike Olajuwon who only needs to defend in series, Ratliff relies on his own hard power to block all intrusions inside. Enemy opponents, this kind of center forward who cannot bring their own defensive system often consumes much more than those centers who have their own defensive system.

Don't you see that Garnett is still supporting the Nets' defensive system at the age of 37, Duncan is still the core of the Spurs' defense at the age of 40, and many defensive cores who only rely on physical fitness to defend, the defensive system built after the age of 30 collapsed.

So the beginning of the fourth quarter must be the main offense! If Liu Mang is not there, the speed will not be of much use!

"Of course!" Liu Mang fired another physical potion, "How can a man say no!"

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he continued to drink water. It would be even better if he had a hamburger. Although there are physical potions, they consume a lot of water and their stomachs are empty. Physical potions can restore physical strength, but they can’t restore the water and everything in the stomach. It is estimated that what is consumed now is fat, which will bring huge benefits to reducing body fat...

"Cough cough cough..."

Just when Liu Mang was thinking wildly, coach Kruger went to emphasize tactics for Newbell, who replaced Muhammad and Ratliff, and Alan Henderson, Raheem and Jason Terry came up and choked On the back of Liu Mang's neck, a fist punched an electric drill on Liu Mang's head, almost choking Liu Mang to death.

"How can you say no to a man? Just now, my brothers rested for half a day, so we are not men anymore?"

...

...

Olajuwon seems to be dreaming back to the top!

Of course, the explosive scoring ability and flying blocks are gone, but the deterrence at the basket has reached a new high since 2000! This kind of concentration is the first time since he was unsuccessful in the Rockets and Alexander's request for a contract extension last season!

Olajuwon did not rest in the fourth quarter, he felt in good physical condition and decided to continue playing!

This year is different from the fact that the core of a team will only play 30 minutes in the future. In the future, if the main players in the fourth quarter are not fit enough, they may not even be able to play, because the average level of role players has been greatly improved with the development of the times. Many role players can get an annual salary of 20 million.

But it’s different now. There’s usually a big gap between the role players and the starters. Like the Eagles, there are usually only 9 players in rotation at most, and 8 players in a tense game. In the future, teams with 8.9 players in rotation will be called core executioners. !

The Raptors' Dell Davis and Alvin Williams partnered in the backcourt, and Carter, Antonio Davis and Olajuwon partnered in the frontcourt.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Raheem re-entered the battle, and Newbell and Alan Henderson partnered in the frontcourt.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Eagles had the ball. Liu Mang passed the first ball to Raheem, and Carter placed it in front of Raheem. The entire Raptors defense fully started in the third quarter. Raheem faced Carter in the middle. Dribble the ball from the crotch, then lift your shoulders, put it away in an instant, move laterally to the left, turn around with your back, go to the basket and pull the bar for a layup! Raheem is really strong in singles. When he played singles, Olajuwon's role was not that great. Raheem pulled the lever to avoid Carter who was chasing him and Olajuwon who defended back and Olajuwon made a layup.

84 to 78, the point difference came to 7 points.

Raheem scored 30 points!

The Eagles returned to the defense quickly, but the Raptors had no intention of playing a fast break. Dell Curry slowly pushed forward and handed it to Carter, and the ball was sent to Olajuwon immediately.

When playing against Ratliff, Olajuwon still had a bit of difficulty, but against Alan Henderson, Olajuwon was not worried at all, the height gap was huge! Static power crushes opponents even more!

Olajuwon turned and carried Alan Henderson for a layup!

"Hakeem beware!"

Only then did Olajuwon see that Liu Mang had sneaked in at some point, and cut the ball with his palm!

Liu Mang shrinks the defense and blocks Olajuwon!

Fight back!

Olajuwon didn't lose his mind anymore, he hugged Liu Mang and stopped the Eagles' fast break with a foul.

What a smart kid!

Olajuwon figured it out all at once. It turned out that Liu Mang was defending Alvin Williams, who was doing an off-ball pick-and-roll for Dell Curry. Behind Henderson, he gave himself a block!

Not only smart, but also has a good sense of cutting the ball!

As a veteran who has played for 17 or 18 years, Olajuwon admires Liu Mang very much, but unfortunately he is too thin to jump, and he seems a little anxious for layups. Otherwise, he can consider opening a training camp and earn some money. 10,000 yuan...

The point difference is still 6 points!

The game continued, and the Eagles wanted to play a defensive counterattack, but were repeatedly sabotaged by Olajuwon.

Next, the Eagles and Raptors each missed several shots. It was not until Liu Mang and Raheem scored four points through two layups that the scoring continued.

After the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the score between the two sides became 96 to 92, and the Eagles led with only 4 points left!

The official came back from a timeout. At this time, the Raptors began to counterattack. Carter saw that Olajuwon was about to lose his power, so he decided to come by himself. After a few tentative steps, he brushed past Raheem's shoulder and hit a Time difference, passing Ratliff and killing directly under the basket, the three Eagles immediately shrank in and surrounded the inside!

Carter's jumping and explosive power is really powerful! He jumped up in the crowd and passed it to Olajuwon. Olajuwon was at the free throw line at this time, and he received the ball and made a jumper from the free throw line!

There are 4 minutes and 51 seconds left, only two points away!

The Eagles call a timeout!

From the beginning of the second half, Carter, who became focused, completely focused on how to win the game and how to defeat the Eagles' defense with his two-line cooperation with Olajuwon.

This is strength!

Liu Mang thought of what Carter said at the end of the intermission, this is a game where strength is king!

Carter can no longer be so focused!

But Liu Mang couldn't think of anything that could divert Carter's focus, a three-pointer? The other party had already seen through his little trick, and it was precisely because of this that Carter was forced to concentrate.

For this Raptors, Liu Mang is actually not that worried about what they can do in terms of record. It is impossible for Olajuwon to play so well in every game. Not every coach is Popovich. A No. 1 pick can play for 20 years.

After the timeout, the Eagles replaced Ratliff and Muhammad, and the five strongest players of the Eagles played!

One Last Stand!

The Raptors also had a last-ditch effort, with Kean Clark, Carter, Maurice Peterson, Antonio Davis, and Olajuwon playing.

With less than five minutes left, the Eagles have the ball.

It is still positional warfare.

Liu Mang held the ball from the outside, Jason Terry went to the bottom corner to open up space, and Raheem was a little tired from playing. His personal offense was basically tough. This is his characteristic, excellent inside scoring ability, There is bound to be greater consumption.

The boss and the second child can only play the role of opening up the defense now, so Coach Kruger is worried that Liu Mang will not be able to move.

Kean Clark is defending Liu Mang. He is very tight. He has 71 stats, 90 speed, and 72 strength. His father is the starter.

Singles was a bit difficult, Liu Mang beckoned Muhammad to pick and roll and cut inside!

The pick and roll master triggers!

Iverson's runaway speed of breaking hundreds, Kean Clark, couldn't catch up at all!

Liu Mang rushed inside.

Ratliff turned around and blocked Carter who was about to defend. Raheem had a certain mid-range. Olajuwon had committed 4 fouls. In addition, it was really difficult to fight against Liu Mang's weird footsteps, so he pulled out to defend Raheem. Shoot, Liu Mang faces an empty basket!

Layup?

No!

A strange idea suddenly popped up in Liu Mang's head!

Taking advantage of the last-second effect of the pick-and-roll master, Liu Mang took off with all his strength! To dunk!

Dunk! No one can stop it!

Just when Liu Mang was taking the ball in the air and was about to dunk it towards the basket, suddenly a strange feeling came...

"Ding...Fancy dunk level 1 is triggered, according to the current host's physical fitness and on-the-spot situation, the strength of the waist and abdomen is strengthened, and the 180-degree swivel dunk..."

Liu Mang didn't hear what the system said, and felt an impulse in his heart! Turn your body 180 degrees in the air and buckle your hands!

Somewhat reluctantly! But still buckled in!

"Ding... The fancy dunk was successful! The morale of the team has been greatly increased, and the behavior of triggering the morale increase has been activated..."

After landing, Liu Mang couldn't help but roar to the sky!

The fans at the scene were cheering loudly because Liu Mang rushed in and looked like he was about to dunk, but a dunk is also a dunk! But Liu Mang turned around in the air! 180 degree swivel back buckle!

How good-looking this dunk is, it’s not necessarily true. There are too many players who can do it, and Emmanuel can do it by jumping on the spot.

But this is Liu Mang's dunk!

This poor dunk plan barely dunks a weak bouncing chicken that can be used as Christmas!

This weak chicken actually completed a fancy dunk in front of Carter!

The cheers of the fans at the scene were about to pierce the eardrums!

"Vince, not only are you not as good as me in three-pointers, I don't think you are that good in dunks. You haven't dunked yet today, have you? I dunked one!" Liu Mang turned on the taunting mode towards Carter!

Carter really wants to say that dunks are really good-looking, and they are very powerful, and there are many highlights of dunks.

But Carter has never had more than 100 dunks in any season, not even more than 80 in a single season. Even in 2000-02, when he was at the peak of dunks, he did not break 100. When it comes to a thousand dunks, the characteristics of his dunks are either at the highlight level or even at the top ten level of the season, or they can't dunk.

In the first half today, Carter was making a three-pointer. In the second half, the two teams focused on defense. The inside line was crowded, and he had no chance to dunk.

You can say anything, but you can't talk about dunking!

Carter saw Liu Mang's dunk, coupled with the cheers of the fans and the video when he was studying Liu Mang, and what Liu Mang said, Carter was sure that Liu Mang was provocative!

Of course, this is true.

but!

It doesn't matter if Carter can't do anything, only dunk!

Only this, Carter can never let go!

"Ding... the effect of Vince Carter's focus feature is removed."

really!

If you want to anger the current Carter, you can only use this!

At the transition of offense and defense, Keene Clark pushed forward and handed it to Carter. Raheem was going to defend, but Liu Mang defended and pointed to the three-second zone by the way. Raheem understood in seconds! Runs to follow cut Keene Clark.

Carter looked at Liu Mang's eyes and said, "Ace, you pissed me off. You call it a slam dunk by stuffing the ball into the basket like that? Let me tell you what a real slam dunk is!"

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it." Liu Mang pressed it tightly. Now that Carter's demigod power has been reduced to level 3, even if Carter triggers the demigod, his burst speed will be similar to that of Liu Mang who triggered the bench bandit. , Liu Mang can stick to Carter very well and not be thrown off!

Carter, whose strength was over 80, naturally didn't care about Liu Mang's strength, and rushed into the inside line against Liu Mang!

but! Liu Mang was not thrown away! According to the previous "negotiation", Raheem ignored Kean Clark and shrank back for the first time, resisting Carter's impact!

Carter jumps up for the buckle! But it was blocked by Raheem, and the death buckle could not be triggered! Ratliff slapped the ball in Carter's hand with a precise palm from behind Raheem!

Block dunk!

Liu Mang turned around and grabbed the ball, and played it straight away! Kean Clark and Maurice Peterson were on the outside, returning to the defense quickly. Liu Mang dragged the two behind him straight to the basket, jumped up and passed back to the top arc!

Jason Terry catches the ball and makes a three-pointer!

In Liu Mang's heart roaring and praying that he must go in, Jason Terry chased and hit a three-pointer!

101 to 94! The point difference came to 7 points!

With the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Raptors called a timeout!

Coach Wilkins yelled at Carter, and the great situation was ruined by a "response ball" dunk!

Only then did Carter wake up again, and was tricked by the damned Ace again!

"Ding... Vince Carter's focus effect is triggered..."

When Liu Mang was high-fiving his teammates on the bench, he heard this sound, but it didn't matter anymore, just once! Carter seems to regard him as a worthy opponent, and he will probably focus on at least facing him in the future.

But this ball is enough!

7 points difference!

The next step is defense, and the offensive end is steady and steady! No need to rack your brains for a counter-attack three-pointer!

...

Just as Liu Mang expected, although Carter regained his focus and cooperated well, the Eagles' top three insiders did not cover up the defense. They couldn't deal with Duncan and O'Neal, and they were more than enough to deal with the Raptors when they played together. Yes, the Raptors can only shoot from mid-to-long range. Liu Mang and Jason Terry are very close to each other, not giving open opportunities. The Raptors also began to decline in their physical fitness at the last moment, and their scoring efficiency was not high.

Although the Eagles also scored inefficiently, Raheem and Jason Terry both played more than 40 minutes and only rested for 5 minutes in the third quarter.

but!

The Eagles' 7-point lead became a guarantee of victory!

A tough tug-of-war finally came to an end with the referee's whistle!

Liu Mang scored 21 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 1 block. Raheem scored 34 points and 14 rebounds. Jason Terry scored 25 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds. Narrowly beat the Raptors at home!

After the game, Liu Mang and Carter came to have a farewell reminiscence. Yes, it was Carter's favorite way of reminiscing about the past. It seemed that McGrady also liked it. The cousins ​​really liked each other.

"Ace, you are more interesting than you imagined. I won't be so easy to be fooled next time! My duel with you is not over yet! Next time I must teach you how to dunk!" Carter said while hugging.

"Eh..." Liu Mang was a little bit pained, why does Carter love duels so much?

What wit said was to send the written more than 2,500 words to the mobile phone before closing the gate. Although mobile phone codewords are a bit slow, and it is impossible to do 1,000 words in an hour, it is not to save money anyway.

Damn, make a three-five ten-twenty. . The Doudizhu can lose hundreds of dollars in a few hours, so it's better to code well, playing cards is not suitable for playing.

Finally, ask for a wave of recommendation tickets, rewards, and monthly tickets~
