Chapter 248 246. Consecutive Dunks!

The fans at the scene also felt that they were delusional, or did Iverson secretly put on the Eagles jersey?

Not right, Iverson is not that tall!

Kobe pushed forward and defended McGrady. For such a team, McGrady does not need to be the core of the offense, and can spend energy on defense like when he was playing for Carter. McGrady's defensive efficiency in the 99-00 season was better than Pippen. In particular, single defense is very powerful. Now I am focusing on defense again, which has caused Kobe a lot of trouble. McGrady’s speed and explosive power are not inferior to Kobe’s, and his body is even better. Kobe’s only strength is strength, but McGrady was before Kobe gained weight. Even heavier, Kobe really can't get rid of McGrady.

What Kobe is most liked by the coach is that he is willing to hand over the ball when he has good teammates, and when there is no one on the team, he dares to shoot dead and can still make a shot. That's why Popovich said The biggest regret in his career is not not having consecutive championships, but not being able to get the opportunity to coach Kobe.

Of course, a certain No. 24 player who scored 23 points on 24 shots in Game 7 of the Finals and paid homage to God occasionally put his head on the iron and put his heart and soul into the great steel industry.

At this moment, Kobe was very calm, knowing that the crucial fourth quarter was different from the previous three quarters. He handed the ball to Francis. It was still a bit difficult for Payton to beat Iverson. Iverson's defense was at its peak. The top ten guards in the best defensive player rankings, there is no assistance in defense, honestly, the effect of single defense has always been excellent.

Francis got the ball, Liu Mang took a step back to defend, leaving a huge shot space.

This again!

What Francis is most upset about is Liu Mang's defensive attitude that looks down on his shooting. Francis dribbles and accelerates directly to the left. He is not afraid that Liu Mang is faster than him, just hit him! With the power of Francis 86, neither the runaway Carter nor Kobe is his opponent.

In the past, every time Francis met Liu Mang, he would just go on a rampage to clear the way, but this time an unexpected situation happened, and Liu Mang was not knocked away after posting it! Hold on!

Although Liu Mang still failed to interrupt Francis' impact, he put pressure on Francis' body!

"Damn!" Francis was going crazy, how did this rookie improve so much! Every time we encounter it, it is completely different from the previous ones!

The first time Francis met Liu Mang, he was only able to shoot a few three-pointers. Later, he was able to break through with the ball, able to go inside and outside. This time, the defensive end played such an excellent role!

In a moment of carelessness, Francis was pushed near the bottom line by Liu Mang!

Garnett had been waiting steadily from the mid-range of the bottom line for Francis to score the ball or Garnett who made the shot to come up to respond. Francis was just about to pass to Garnett, but Liu Mang's hand was extremely fast!

"Outside Interceptor level 5 trigger."

Liu Mang reacted very quickly and predicted Francis' short-range passing route. The Western team played too small this time!

Liu Mang poked the ball, and Rahim, who was defending Garnett, rushed up to hug the ball.

Steal it!

Iverson and Tracy McGrady get off!

Kobe, Payton, and Francis and Garnett chased after him. Raheem passed a long pass to Iverson, and Iverson received the ball. The West team rushed at halftime. Although Iverson was fast, Kobe caught up. When Iverson received the ball, Kobe took the opportunity to post it.

After receiving the ball, Iverson dribbled to the right side of the basket and was forced to stop, but Iverson was not angry, but said with a smile: "Hey, Kobe, back."

Kobe didn't believe it, this must be a deceptive trick learned by this dwarf and that bastard rookie, McGrady just entered the three-point line, there is a ghost behind...

At this time, Iverson threw the ball to the basket in a very irrelevant way in Kobe's eyes. Sure enough, Kobe followed the arc of the ball and couldn't touch the basket 100%. Payton and Gane who rushed in Definitely grabs a rebound...

"boom"

Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line one step ahead of McGrady, Garnett, and Payton, jumped high and pressed the ball into the basket!

75 bounce is not as strong as Iverson's close to 90 bounce, but Liu Mang is tall! Alley-oops look more explosive than Iverson's visual effects!

Seeing Liu Mang complete another dunk, Garnett, Payton, Francis, and Kobe, who have studied Liu Mang the most, are about to blow their heads!

It’s okay to imitate Iverson’s breakthrough and layup. Originally, both of them are speed types. This is a completely tall and violent version of Iverson... Or, Iverson is ten centimeters taller. How to play?

Probably! According to Iverson's desperate style of rushing to the inside, if he grows taller, he has to compete with the basket every day to see whether the hand is stronger or the basket is stronger.

Kobe wanted to chase after Iverson, there was no way, Payton followed McGrady and there was no way, but Garnett and Francis chased back, the main purpose was to stay from the three-point line to the free throw line to prevent Liu Mang from following up Catching three-pointers is a characteristic of the Eagles.

When they were in their respective club teams, there was no super defensive outside line like Kobe’s defensive performance this season, which was the top three in the league. There was no way to limit the duo of Jason Terry and Liu Mang, who made one shot and one shot, but this Western Conference All-Star team With Kobe around, Kobe defended, but Liu Mang started to slow down a little as if he was going to follow up with a three-pointer. When he reached the center line, he suddenly rushed towards the basket and couldn't keep up!

133 to 131! The Eastern team took a two-point lead for the first time in this game!

The only occasional lead before was only 1 point, and it was immediately taken back by the Western team. This is the first time that the Eastern team has a real lead today!

The western troops felt a strong sense of crisis!

One Iverson is enough for them. Last year it was Iverson who made them disgraced and defeated Washington. This time, there is an extra player who is as fast as Iverson, and his style of play is even more powerful, and he can shoot three shots. Point rookie!

With 7 points in the first quarter, 4 points in the second quarter, 6 points in the third quarter, and 6 points in a row in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang has scored 23 points, surpassing McGrady who scored 20 points Get the highest score in the East! And the audience is second only to Kobe who has scored 27 points!

The big screen is also naughty. After Liu Mang’s dunk, Kobe wanted to see how the ball was missed in the replay. The All-Star game is different from ordinary games. There are also replays of the wonderful goals, but the big screen shows the comparison of the two teams’ data. .

Kobe suddenly saw that Liu Mang was about to catch up with him in scoring!

At this time, Kobe remembered the interview he had seen before. There was a new ESPN reporter named Stark, who reported that Liu Mang wanted to win the MVP of the All-Star Game!

Kobe suddenly realized that this rookie was serious!

Some fans noticed that a certain number 8 player, who did not want to be named, picked up his jersey after selling less than 5,000 copies of the record, which caused the record company to lose all his money and terminate the contract with him!

There is no shortage of Lakers fans in any city, even Philadelphia, the city that hates the Lakers the most at this stage, and there are fans who came from California to watch the game. After seeing this action, everyone knows that the Western Conference playoffs in the past two years have been played every day. The strongest player in the Western Conference playoffs who wears everything day and night is here!

Kobe received Garnett's serve and came to the frontcourt. He only had the basket in his eyes and only scored!

"Ding... Mamba's bite is triggered at level 3, from Kobe Bryant, and Kobe Bryant's ability value has increased to 96."

Kobe faced McGrady with a crotch dribble and pulled up a strong three-pointer!

Hit!

Kobe made a strong shot regardless and went straight into the frame!

30 points!

After Kobe scored the goal, he gave Liu Mang a provocative look.

Liu Mang hates this unscientific way of playing. As a defender, he should cooperate with his teammates and pass the ball to assist!

"Ding...Stubborn Level 5 trigger, from Kobe Bryant."

Um!

Normally, Liu Mang's head hurts when he hears the opponent's skill being triggered, but this time it's different!

This person is Kobe, and only Kobe has such a wonderful skill. The next time the western team attacks, as long as they fall into the position, Kobe will definitely vote!

134 to 133, the Western team once again took the lead by one point.

Iverson advanced with the ball, and the defensive focus of the West team no longer knew what to do. An Iverson with the ball, a huge version of Iverson, most of the defense focus of the West team has been brought to Liu Mang. side.

Iverson continued to hold the ball. When he came outside the three-point line, he was not as strong as before. He continued to play pick-and-roll with the inside. Usually, he really couldn’t play in the 76ers. Occasionally he tried and was abused by his opponent, but sometimes he played It is indeed a great feeling to be able to control the team's offense freely. Now that there are so many offensive teammates, Iverson continues to play pick-and-roll.

O'Neal came out to block Kobe for Iverson. Iverson cut in. Kobe bypassed the pick-and-roll and chased after Iverson. Kobe's defense in the runaway state was really active and effective. It deserves to be the top three super defenses in defensive efficiency this season. The Titan, not only blocked Iverson with Garnett, but also turned around and came to McGrady after Iverson passed it to McGrady!

McGrady was also very excited to see Kobe who was going to tear his opponents apart like a crazy dog. Today is a supporting role, but it doesn't matter if you play a goal, right? Yes, it's okay!

McGrady bent down and lowered his center of gravity, looking for flaws in Kobe's defense with his half-asleep eyes.

However... there is no flaw!

Interesting! Maddie is even more excited!

"Ding... Tracy McGrady's ability value has increased to 97."

Liu Mang, who was developing wretchedly and was about to have the opportunity to run back and hit the basket, really felt the fright this time.

This is it! Inexplicably and without any reason, McGrady became stronger!

According to the system's explanation, McGrady usually trains hard, but his mentality is not the mentality of being a super giant. He is competitive but not the mentality of defeating opponents as an arrow. Once this mentality is stronger, it will be stronger.

Watching McGrady hit Kobe with a long-range two-pointer, Liu Mang was pleasantly surprised. What surprised him was that McGrady became stronger again. The playoffs seemed to be more difficult. It seems that McGrady won the first round of the playoffs one The identity of the eight once led the Eastern Conference 3 to 1.

The good news is that I can develop well, let my teammates attract the opponent's attention first, and then I will seize the opportunity to score like I did just now!

When checking McGrady’s defensive efficiency of the Raptors, I accidentally found out that during the Lakers’ third consecutive season at the beginning of the century, Kobe and O’Neal were both top ten defensive players from the 99-00 season, and both were top five in 2000, the strongest O'Neal was second in 2000, Kobe's strongest was third in 2002, higher than Mutombo, and only Ben Wallace, Garnett, Kobe, and Mutombo won the votes in 2002.

It is worth mentioning that before 2004, Iverson had always been a regular visitor to the top ten of the strongest defensive players rankings, with the highest being fifth.

I checked McGrady's 99-00 season, that is, he officially had a starting opportunity, and entered the discussion of the best defensive player. The contribution value is higher than that of Pippen who defended the second team that season. Of course, it is incomparable with the two No. 21s in the first team, and the success rate of assist defense is far lower than that of Pippen, but it is still very strong. It is probably McGrady's only one. It's really a pity to have a chance to squeeze into the best defensive team in one year.
