Chapter 207. 206. Skill Conflict
9 to 9.
Played for 7 minutes.
Brother, what are you doing!
When Liu Mang was pushed onto the court by Coach Kruger, he felt his head was so big!
Our two teams are offensive teams, okay?
Didn't the media promote that we are an epoch-making matchup between the counterattack team and the shooting team? Although the media exaggerated a bit outrageously, at least the promotional title of the game can reflect the styles of our two teams.
This is the same as in the 2005 finals. The shooting-oriented Pistons were blocked from the mid-range and long-range shots, and the inside-based Spurs were blocked from the basket.
With the expectation of his teammates, Liu Mang replaced Jacqueline Vaughn, rubbed the chalk, clapped his hands, and watched the smoke, Liu Mang adjusted his mood and played.
do it! Which game was not fought like this!
The Timberwolves also made substitutions. Anthony Peele replaced Trier Brandon, who has been in a sluggish state for half of the season after his comeback this year.
After being reimbursed for the season last season, the team doctor suggested that the Timberwolves negotiate a buyout with Trier Brandon. Trier Brandon, who is only 1.80 meters tall, is almost 33 years old, and he is bound to be unable to play again due to a serious foot injury. The 1.80-meter point guard who ran and dunked like before, lost his speed, and played with mid-range shots and sudden points, it is difficult to play like before.
But the Timberwolves still don't give up and want to try again, and there are still two years of 30 million contracts! At this time, the Timberwolves regretted why they didn't renew Marbury's contract back then. They thought that Trier Brandon was almost the same, and the organization was stronger, but it turned out like this now.
Anthony Peeler, who replaced Trier Brandon, was a Lakers rookie in 1992. He was a standard player in the 1980s and 1990s. He entered the NBA and played directly from his peak. He scored 35 points in a single game in his rookie year. In the second grade, being able to score 40+ in a single game is also the highest score of his career. In the second grade, he averaged 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. The peak performance was all in the Lakers for four years. Later, in order to introduce O'Neal, he needed to clear the salary space and was given away by the Lakers for free. gone.
The older generation of domestic fans gave him the nickname "Chen Zhen". When he still had short hair, he looked exactly like Chen Zhen played by Liang Xiaolong, one of the Four Tigers in Hong Kong. He was obviously 1.93 meters tall, but he looked short and stocky, which often made people laugh. The players he played against looked short.
His most famous thing during the Timberwolves period was the fight with Garnett in the team game, but the two cooperated well on the court. Like Garnett, they are both very professional players and good at physical confrontation.
After returning from a timeout, Liu Mang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. As the player the team placed high hopes on to break the deadlock, he was under a lot of pressure, and none of the top five players in the Western Conference was good at it.
As soon as Liu Mang got beyond the three-point line, a quick-witted butcher came up to him.
Liu Mang's first reaction...
How did Huoyun Cthulhu come to play in the NBA!
No, Huoyun Cthulhu is not that dark...
Facing such an active defensive player, Liu Mang certainly would not miss this good opportunity. When Anthony Peeler rushed up to bully those skinny rookies with his body like before, Liu Mang took the initiative to post it and took advantage of the situation. The ball is thrown towards the hoop.
Decisively stick to the three! But the referee's whistle sounded and the shot was fouled!
The first time I met Liu Mang, Anthony Peele was unlucky, and he sent Liu Mang to the free throw line when he came up.
Anthony Peeler is rather boring, that's why he didn't BB when he was sprayed by Garnett in the training game. He was anxious to explain to the referee, but he didn't know how to say it.
On the contrary, Garnett had a hot temper and exploded all of a sudden.
"That clown is cheating for a foul! Can't you see it? He didn't throw it towards the basket when he shot!" Garnett complained loudly to the referee in a broken voice.
The referee ignored Garnett's complaints, and now the referees are aware of Liu Mang's style of play. Half a season has passed, and you are still not on guard, and he did not violate the rules.
It means that Garnett is a superstar, otherwise he would throw a technical foul with such a loud noise.
Liu Mang moved his body a bit, it really hurt to be bumped by such a meaty prick!
clown? Liu Mang has heard opponents describe himself like this for countless times, a clown is a clown!
Standing on the free throw line, the referee signaled those who want to grab a rebound to stand up quickly, and forget it if they don’t grab a rebound.
Garnett complained for a long time and found it was useless, so he could only come to both sides of the three-second zone with anger. Szczerbiak and Joe Smith were responsible for the positioning of the basket. Rush for rebounds at the free throw line.
Liu Mang received the ball thrown by the referee and was adjusting. Garnett's mouth started to spray again.
"Can you make a penalty? You're a skinny bastard." Garnett's mouth can never stop, and it can never be clean.
Liu Mang was already prepared in his heart, pouted and responded, "I don't know if I can make a penalty, but I know we can make it to the second round."
After speaking, Liu Mang threw the ball and made the first free throw!
Trash talk, and Garnett-style trash talk, are two different concepts.
Like Jordan, Payton, Kobe, and Bird, their trash talk is to attack the opponent's confidence from their own strengths, their opponent's weaknesses, their own achievements, and their opponent's lack of achievements. They emphasize the art of language.
And Garnett almost always uses black slang-type swear words to irritate opponents and make opponents not calm.
And Garnett usually encounters Kobe, Jordan, and Payton, and he can't do anything good.
Liu Mang is also vicious enough, he started fighting from one to three at the beginning, he was a king bomber and forced Garnett to have nothing to say.
Without Garnett's noisy voice, the boos of the fans at the scene sounded less noisy than Garnett's mouth alone!
Liu Mang hit all the next two goals.
Made all three free throws!
The Eagles led by 3 points 12-9.
The Timberwolves attack, and the possession of the ball changes from Trier Brandon to Chauncey Billups.
Anthony Peeler is very offensive defensively, but he is not aggressive on the offensive end. Born in 1969, in addition to maintaining a good body shape, he is full of tendons, and his impact on the basket is gone, and his ball control is getting stronger and stronger with his muscles. It's gone, mainly the three-pointer from the bottom corner, the feeling of the poor man's version of the stout version of Bowen.
However, when Liu Mang watched Billups control the ball, he discovered a problem! The evil aura of Garnett that I felt is gone! The feeling of resentment and self-doubt lingering in my heart has faded a lot!
"Ding...found totem skills: Yizhong level 3, from Chauncey Billups."
"Ding... There is a conflict of team skill effects in the Timberwolves team, and the effects of wolf blood boiling, iron blood field, and perseverance skills are weakened."
In the second round of the Western Conference playoffs in 2004, Anthony Peeler and Garnett quarreled in Game 6. Garnett talked too fast, but Anthony Peeler couldn't say it. He was irritated by Garnett again and elbowed him. Swiped over and fell into Garnett's trick. As the most accurate three-pointer of the Kings in the playoffs that year, Anthony Peeler's three-pointer percentage in the playoffs was a terrifying 14.18%. He couldn't hit it. , The tiebreaker King regretted losing to the Timberwolves by 3 points.
Afterwards, Anthony Peeler said that he had been tricked by Garnett. The two had been teammates for several years. Garnett knew him too well and deliberately provoked him to do it.
