Chapter 230 229. Arrogance!

With a heavy complexion, Liu Mang was rubbing the chalk to prevent slipping.

It is true that even Kenyon Martin, whose ability value has increased from 75 to 82, is a cutting-type power forward with a little stronger ability to block shots, and Mike Miller's ability value has increased from 70 to 74, which is a more accurate player. A little open shooter, the defense is still so bad, the other second-year players have improved some of their abilities in bits and pieces, and things they are not good at have not appeared out of thin air. This team, even if it has been maintained this way The buff of a perfect team is thrown into the regular season, and the bottom one has no chance to run.

No matter how strengthened, except for Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller, it is impossible for anyone else to have an NBA starting level.

But the key point is that the rookie team is similar! Except for Gasol, Battier, and Liu Mang, Joe Johnson and Jason Richardson are the team's starters, and they are really not much better than the sophomores.

The second grader suddenly became stronger, and caught the first grader by surprise!

Relying on more mature bodies, skills, and experience, the second graders suppressed the first graders at the beginning!

The rookie game is not divided into four quarters, but divided into two halves of 20 minutes each. There is only one timeout in the halftime, plus two commercial timeouts, the first time is 5 minutes, and the second time is 14 minutes.

Iverson was not in a hurry to change players immediately when the ball was dead. Although Iverson played alone, his organizational skills are not bad, which means that he has a strong ability to read the situation on the court. He found something wrong from the beginning. The second grade is obviously much stronger than expected!

For Iverson, there is no difference between having or not having this kind of strength beyond expectations, but for the rookie team, it is different!

Finally, at the first commercial pause, five minutes passed, the second grade played a wave of 14 to 8, leading the first grade by 6 points at the start!

The 100-second commercial was paused, and the second graders had a happy start, and everyone was clapping excitedly to celebrate.

On the first grade side, the face is heavy, not as easy to fight as imagined!

All eyes were on Liu Mang.

Although Liu Mang is under a lot of pressure at this time, after all, this group of people is not Raheem and Jason Terry, and he may be the best one among them. This is the first time he takes on such a responsibility, but if he panics at this time, The rookie team is doomed!

"The second graders are working harder than expected," Liu Mang said with a smile, "Then we also have to work harder. Are you ready for the most difficult competition?"

Liu Mang continued to show his self-confidence, and at this time he must bring his self-confidence to his teammates! Just like what I said before, in fact, even if there is a bonus in the ability of the second grade, that is to say, it has been improved to the same level as the second grade, but after their improvement, they surpassed the strength of the previous first grade and second grade. One year was caught off guard.

First of all, hold on!

Seeing that Liu Mang is still so confident, the teammates seem to have found their backbone.

yes!

There are still all-star players who are not on my side! What are you afraid of! And the other party has only reached the same level as himself! The other party is working so hard, and I can't fall behind!

Liu Mang's leadership qualities also played a role.

Iverson looked at Liu Mang's words and immediately made the rookies full of fighting spirit, and he cried out in his heart.

It took Nima three or four years to develop this kind of leadership by himself! This rookie is still in his rookie year?

...

...

The ad timeout comes back, and the rookie team has the ball.

During the timeout, there was no tactical arrangement, so I will study what style of play to play in the afternoon.

After all, it is a temporary army, and it is impossible to have any particularly perfect tactics, just look like it. For example, the second grade is the Nets' counterattack tactics plus the Kings' Princeton position.

Jamal Tinsley receives the serve and advances to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, the pressure was great!

This time, he played the game as a core player in the true sense and as the first scoring point.

Nervous, but excited!

The Clippers' second-year Quentin Richardson was coming up to Liu Mang's defense. Liu Mang looked at the big Q's defense.

Really good!

Big Q is a player who was on a rookie contract at his peak. After joining the Suns, he began to suffer from neurological injuries and fell to the Knicks. After taking drugs for neurological injuries, he became fat and his defense disappeared.

The big Q defense during the Clippers and Suns period is still very good, especially when the body is still at its peak, that is, during the Clippers period, the defense is really good. In the third grade, he had 12 rebounds and 3 blocks in a single game 3 Stealing performance.

The 10% increase this time almost gave Big Q a defensive level a year later.

It seems to be very afraid of Liu Mang's foul, the big Q is not tight...

That being the case...

All given a chance...

How can I not wave!

Everyone thought that at this time, the first grade was behind, and they should play a more stable ball to ensure the success rate, that is, the closer to the basket, the better. After all, there is Gasol who has the highest scoring average besides Kobe and Iverson. .

However, Liu Mang pulled it up and threw it away!

Big Q didn't expect at all, how crazy this is! How their head coach put up with such a player!

Liu Mang pulled up and threw a three-pointer! Both Kobe and Iverson on the sidelines uttered a swear word!

It's so unreasonable! It was unexpected!

The King of Ganba is triggered! Big Q was a bit slow and the defense that rushed forward did not interfere at all. Liu Mang made sufficient preparations in the afternoon and felt very good. He came up to try and hit a three-pointer!

"Wow, wow, good luck." Liu Mang blew his hand after speaking, and turned back to defend.

The players of the rookie team were stunned for a moment, then cheered loudly and returned to defense.

Yeah!

I have a scoring master who has created the youngest scorer in NBA history with 40 points in a single game! A super rookie who can only shoot but can make it!

The second-year players are so angry!

This rookie is too arrogant!

Big Q received the serve and smashed it hard, and dribbled the ball halfway.

Jamal Tinsley went up to defend the big Q, and Liu Mang defended Mike Miller, the best second-year player on the outside, and the best rookie in the second year.

Big Q can defend well at this stage, and he can also shoot open shots, but he is not the wild shooting maniac who averaged 17 points per game in the peak period of the fourth grade and 8 three-pointers per game in the year of the Suns. Not so good, unlikely to be singles.

Moreover, although the second-year team was angry, they were self-aware. The big Q passed the ball to Turkoglu who was one step outside the free throw line. Pick and roll for Turkoglu, Kenyon Martin on the inside pulls up to pick and roll for the big Q who cuts in, Chris Mim pulls to the bottom corner.

Princeton!

Compared with the first graders, the biggest advantage of the second graders is not the 10% increase in strength, but their tactical literacy! They can better accept Princeton's relatively cumbersome and difficult tactics in the same short period of time!

Mike Miller picks and rolls Turkoglu, Turkoglu cuts to the free throw line, attracting all the rookie team's attention, Haywood comes up to defend, Turkoglu passes to the three-second zone Big Q, big Q flew to the basket and scored two points.

"Ahhh..." Big Q slapped his head with his hands and howled after scoring a goal!

Big Q's exclusive way to celebrate!

Although it looks a bit like self-mutilation... But at this time, it is really exciting!

Looks better than expected! The fans at the scene, especially the fans from California, cheered loudly with the howling of the big Q!

Well done!

Liu Mang became even more excited. If the sophomores were crushed by the full strength of the first grades, as they did before when they didn't get angry, would this MVP be interesting?

That kind of MVP, in any case, cannot be compared with the 1997 rookie game, which is called the pinnacle of the rookie game in later generations, the kind of game where Kobe broke the rookie game scoring record, and Iverson led the team to beat the West and snatch the rookie game MVP. , is what Liu Mang wants!

Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt, and Jamal Tinsley was in possession of the ball.

In order to prevent Liu Reck from throwing the ball after receiving the ball, this time the big Q was stuck tightly after Liu Reck came over.

"Hey, very excited? Very happy?" Liu Mang started talking trash.

Trash talk, sometimes it's really not for the sake of spraying, not everyone is so iron-blooded.

Sometimes, it’s really fun!

It is said that when Jordan spouts trash talk, he does not look down on his opponent, but because his opponent is strong enough. Some people are proud of it.

"You scored a goal, but can you guard me?" Liu Mang didn't lower his voice at all. When he was speaking, Gasol just looked over, and Liu Mang secretly touched Gasol's right hand. left wrist.

Except for the rookie team players who had discussed how to call tactics before, no one else noticed this little move, and the second-year players were even blown away by Liu Mang's arrogant words!

Liu Mang received a pass from Jamal Tinsley leaning on the big Q that was tightly attached. The moment he received the pass, he immediately took a step back to shoot the ball, and then suddenly picked up speed and rushed towards the right side of the big Q. Just as Big Q was about to retreat, he held back immediately. Sure enough, it was the same as the last regular season match! Big Q saw Liu Mang's retreating step! He rushed forward!

but!

Just when Liu Mang made half of his retreat, he slapped the ball down again, speeding up his breakthrough again!

Amitabha! Liu Mang said that this ball Xiaona is not welcome!

Liu Mang reached the free throw line in an instant with a super fast speed of 94. At this time, Kenyon Martin, who was already furious, stepped forward to defend, and Liu Mang suddenly changed hands and dribbled to the left. Go, Kenyon Martin quickly move to the right...

"Hmm... ah..." sister-in-law let out a muffled groan, she was easy to push down, but tonight sister-in-law is very tough! Brutally blocked Kenyon - Martin!

After Liu Mang's horizontal pull, he accelerated again. Chris Mim was about to turn around to defend against him. Chris Mim, who was still in the reasonable collision zone, which was directly below the basket, had been stuck with Heywood and was about to grab a rebound. , Before he ran out of the reasonable collision zone, he saw the No. 1 jersey of the Eagles appearing in front of him!

"My God! How could it be so fast!" The fans beside the basket couldn't help but exclaim!

With Gasol's pick-and-roll, Liu Mang's speed soared to over 100. The desire to show his strength made him rush directly to the basket and smash the ball into the basket!

If you are an Eagles fan, you are a little familiar with Liu Mang's dunk after suddenly accelerating, but most of the fans at the scene saw Liu Mang's dunk for the first time!

Yes, the jumps are not high and the moves are not fancy.

But amazing!

Suddenly from the free throw line to a step outside the reasonable collision zone! The speed is too scary and too scary!

Liu Mang didn’t seem to have done anything serious after smashing the ball into the basket. He turned around and returned to the defense. When he passed Kenyon Martin and Big Q, he didn’t hide his thoughts at all: “You can’t defend! Come too!"

The sound is not suppressed at all!

Arrogant! Chi Guoguo is arrogant!

This is the rookie game, so is that the rookie's territory? Since the goal is to become the best among the rookies, how can you not be arrogant in the rookie's territory!

Not only to win, but to win beautifully!

Liu Mang has never been so eager to win a game! For the first time, he was the strongest player leading his teammates to victory!

"Hurry up, get nervous, and defend them! We want to overtake the score!" Liu Mang said loudly to his teammates.

13 to 16, still 3 points behind!

The last chapter in January~I recommend a top-notch novel among the niche essays that will be on the shelves tomorrow. The audience is so unbelievably small. Interval activities and gym classes are all about this game.
