Chapter 274

DeMarre Johnson?

This is the marginalized second-year No. 6 pick. He has been trying to integrate into the mainstream circle of the team, but he has been unable to do so. He has neither playing time nor the opportunity to have a close relationship with the team leaders and the head coach. Can only be a spectator.

Originally, DeMar Johnson had no lottery pick because the Hawks barely made it to the playoffs last season. He should still be cultivated as a potential rookie this season. Of course, his career is very average and his statistics are the best. The first year was the sophomore who was once again valued for training. As the main substitute, he averaged 8 points per game, which is the pinnacle.

The emergence of Liu Mang has grabbed the position of the main substitute, and even the position of the team's third scorer. With Liu Mang as a chaotic sixth man, DeMar Johnson has similar functions and is still so good. Of course he won't be used.

The NBA has always been very cruel. The rise of one person will inevitably take away the opportunity of another person.

On the court, Raheem and Jason Terry competed with Kobe. Neither team has a big center. The Lakers' recent winning streak is based on offense. They used Kobe's firepower to defeat their opponents. The Eagles started without Ratliff. There is no way to grind the defense, relying on the two new All-Stars who averaged 20+ per game and are in good shape against Kobe.

Seeing that the situation is like that, Kobe starts each game fairly calmly, and the points are quite reasonable. The Lakers' offense is terrible, and the Eagles rely on Raheem and Jason Terry to barely fight against Kobe. Liu Mang didn't feel too worried about the anxious situation, which was expected early in the morning.

"Demar, what is habitual visual neglect?" Liu Mang was curious.

Kukoc was also very curious, and this sudden question made him want to know the answer.

DeMar Johnson, as a high-achieving student who finished his fourth year at the University of Cincinnati and got a bachelor's degree and was admitted to a master's degree before entering the NBA, may play basketball, but it's really average. I'm a little sorry for his physical fitness, but he has a good mind and will be successful in the future. teaching assistant.

Seeing that he finally had a sense of presence next to the famous Kukoc, DeMar Johnson responded positively: "This is the most easily overlooked dead corner in a basketball game. In the middle of the game, the opponent with the ball will always appear above the baseline, especially the top arc and the two forty-five-degree angles, so even if he knows that the open shot from the bottom corner is the most accurate, he will habitually ignore it and shrink his defense. Most of the players tend to be corner defenders, because the opponent player is too obvious to stand high, so that the defender has a kind of thinking that he can't let the opponent go, and the bottom line defender will ignore this problem."

Liu Mang suddenly realized... Probably the coaches who designed those tactics referred to the statistics and psychology of college basketball. Old foxes like Popovich can defend so well against three-pointers. knowledge in this regard.

Seeing that Liu Mang didn't understand, Demar Johnson was rather proud: "This is taught by college basketball!"

It's your turn!

Liu Mang heard that Demar Johnson was here to show off his knowledge. Of course, he really admired it. He remembered the theoretical knowledge so firmly, but he was still a little uncomfortable.

This second grader wants to compete with me for a position!

Liu Mang didn't feel at all that he stole DeMar Johnson's position, even if it was true, but the NBA is a place where strength is king, if you want it, you can take it back.

Suddenly, an evil hand came towards Liu Mang's head. Liu Mang reacted quickly with agility.

"Ace, what are you doing, I told you to play!" Coach Kruger roared angrily.

Liu Mang saw that the chat had already been played for five minutes. The two teams hadn't committed any fouls, and there were no big centers. They played very harmoniously. It was just the score, which had already been played by the No. 8 who knew and praised each other with O'Neal every day after retiring. The players are about to explode!

Fighting and fighting, the score has become 17 to 11! Only five minutes! The Eagles scored normally, but the Lakers are about to explode!

Coach Kruger decisively called a timeout, replaced Liu Mang, and wanted to use cavalry tactics to attack the Lakers.

But when the rookie was called, the rookie didn't rush up at the timeout as usual, but chatted with the team's second-year parallel import No. 6 show who was not even active in training.

Is this to match the rookies of parallel imports?

Seeing Coach Kruger's furious look, Liu Mang decisively fled behind Raheem and Jason Terry. It's hard to guard against an open gun, and the sneak attack of the coach with a big forehead is getting more and more tricky. up!

Seeing Liu Mang being brutalized by the coach again, DeMarre Johnson felt a little ecstatic in his heart.

But what DeMar Johnson didn't expect was that Liu Mang didn't care about the coach's fury at all, but hooked the shoulder of the team's second eldest brother Jason Terry and said loudly: "Jason, Sharif, why are you so ignorant?" Use, got blown away by that guy who went bald and went to shave and pretend he likes bald?"

It wasn't Demar Johnson's turn to shock Liu Mang. He usually sits next to the water cooler, so he wouldn't have the opportunity to argue with the bosses. This time, he managed to come over to chat.

Liu Mang's words just happened to be heard by a certain three-shot all-iron player No. 8 who gave birth to a daughter on the technical stage!

"Brat, who are you calling bald?" Kobe rushed over and glared at Liu Mang like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

So angry! I really want to hit someone!

What made Kobe even more angry was that Liu Mang said, "Guess?"

That's right, Liu Mang said it on purpose when he saw Kobe in the center of the technical platform, which was probably where the extension line of the center line was located, to provoke Kobe on purpose.

But what also surprised Liu Mang was that Kobe snorted and said, "The two guys next to you are the same."

After speaking, Kobe turned around and left.

fight?

Just kidding, although the relationship with O'Neal is not good, but winning the championship together and winning three consecutive championships is the ultimate goal. Kobe doesn't want to cause a big incident at the critical moment of impacting the record because of a small incident. He knows that if he and O'Neal are not here, the rest It is difficult for anyone to enter the playoffs.

Um?

What's the reaction?

Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry and Raheem, who were both bald, and both of them looked at Liu Mang with unfriendly eyes.

"Eh... You guys also shaved your heads to cover up your embarrassment after being in the Mediterranean?" Liu Mang asked in surprise.

"Mediterranean?..." Raheem and Jason Terry were stunned for a moment before realizing that the Mediterranean is the common junction of the three major roads in Europe, Asia and Africa, and there is water in the middle of the three continents...

"Ace, you are courting death!"

The bosses of the two bad teams have started to abuse rookies again!

"Damn! Jamaica fell..."

Liu Mang was tortured by two bad bosses to the point of doubting his life, why is the result different from what he thought!

DeMar Johnson looked at the three in astonishment, it was obvious that this was just a joke.

Coach Kruger disliked the order to let them play quickly, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and let it go.

Why is this happening!

Demar Johnson thinks it's too unscientific!

He still remembers that last season he had conflicts with the previous head coach, felt that he played less time, and offended the team's strongest Raheem, because he played more time, so Raheem's playing time would naturally be reduced, and then He was kicked out of the ranks of water cooler administrators. It was not until the team's sixth man Roshawn McLeod retired last season that he was notified by his agent that he might be trained as a sixth man again...

Liu Mang can't control what DeMar Johnson is thinking.

He walked onto the court and stood with Kobe, who had even worse eyes, and the two of them stared... eye to eye, waiting for Jason Terry to dribble over.

The new year is coming soon, happy new year
