Chapter 322: 320. Explosion in Place
Nash was not so easily irritated. He was never the kind of aggressive player, because his career has always been difficult. He averaged 3 points per game in his rookie year, and finally started the last nine games in his second year. Immediately shut down, was sent to the Mavericks by the sun when he came back, had to start again, and stayed on the bench for two years again, and did not officially become the starter until last season, averaging 15 points and 7 assists per game.
After going through hardships, he knows how to cherish. Nash knows that Liu Mang is deliberately provoking him.
Sure enough, Liu Mang, who finished talking trash, immediately pressed on Nash.
It was rare to meet a veteran who was thinner than himself, Liu Mang had no choice but to give full play to his physical advantages.
Probably seeing that Nash's ability value has a "under suppression" mark, Liu Mang feels that Nash's strength is not as good as the sun at this time, so he is a little bit slack, and he takes it for granted.
How could a 28-year-old point guard of a 180 club who is at the peak of his physiology and has extremely mature skills be inferior to a 30-year-old?
It is true that Nash met D'Antoni to make him take off completely, but if he met D'Antoni earlier, he could fly earlier.
Nash, who was not affected by Liu Mang's trash talk, saw Liu Mang pressing up, turned left deftly, and cut into the three-point line close to Liu Mang's left.
Liu Mang made a cut, and continued to press towards Nash, pressing up to the rear left, which was the route Nash was traveling...
etc!
Liu Mang found something was missing! The ball in Nash's hand!
Liu Mang suddenly turned his head and saw the ball falling from above, and it was beyond the three-point line! Liu Mang turned his head again and saw that Nash had already run back beyond the three-point line, received the ball and shot a three-pointer!
"swish"
Hit!
Liu Mang was stunned!
In the end what happened!
"What the hell is this riding a horse!"
Listening to the cheers of the fans, Liu Mang couldn't figure out what happened, but the referee didn't blow the whistle, and Nash made the ball.
So there's only one thing to say...
Got tricked!
Players of their own team played a popular fried chicken, of course they have to replay it!
In the slow motion of the big screen, Nash switched to holding the ball in his left hand when Liu Mang posted it, leaning on Liu Mang with his right shoulder, then turned left against Liu Mang, and switched the ball to his right hand when he turned around.
Just turn around and give Liu Reck a visual blind spot. When Liu Reck blocked the left rear, Nash hit the ball on the floor and popped out of the three-point line. The ball can no longer be dribbled, and it is a violation to dribble any more, but there is no need to dribble anymore. This gap is a perfect opportunity for Nash to make a move!
This control of the ball, this chic and casual style of play, Liu Mang finally realized the feeling of being played by a super point guard who is famous for his offense and is at his peak!
Unlike Iverson and Francis who made it clear that the other party would blow you up, Liu Mang said that he really didn't take Nash too seriously, thinking that he was just the third child of the Mavericks.
Then the slap in the face was as violent as it was!
This is no longer just a joke!
Liu Mang felt humiliated!
Yes, Nash is responding to Liu Mang's trash talk with actual actions!
With his perfect control of the ball and perfect judgment of the defender's intentions, he responded with the sharpest but most elegant counterattack!
Liu Mang now feels his face is burning.
At this time, Liu Mang wanted to understand why the 31-year-old Nash had a system that suited him and could immediately win the MVP.
It's not that D'Antoni made him stronger, it's that he was already that strong, and after he was over 30, he met a system that suited him and could still perform like an MVP!
The current Nash may not know that there is a system that suits him so well, but his singles ability is definitely at its peak!
Liu Mang felt that he had been slapped hard!
After halftime, Liu Mang asked Jason Terry for the ball, and he wanted to pay Nash back!
Jason Terry knew Liu Mang's current mood. Although he really wanted to laugh, this rookie still had his day, but Jason Terry was a professional athlete.
An angry Liu Mang faced Nash and pulled up a three-pointer!
At this time, the positive effect came out, and Nash's best interference had an effect! Did Liu Mang lose the rhythm in his anxiety, and the skills were not triggered because the rhythm was too chaotic, three-point strike!
Liu Mang's shot was too blind! Not only did he have no rhythm, but his teammates didn't expect him to shoot just like that. The rebound was accepted by Wang Zhizhi before he got stuck.
The Mavericks did not counterattack. Two 2.13m power forwards partnered in the interior. The main reason is that the speed of these two power forwards is not bad and they can keep up with the counterattack. Wisky or Wang Zhizhi are both positional players.
Nash slowly pushed forward and patted the ball casually in front of Liu Mang.
It is true that Liu Mang is a young junior that Nash admires very much, but this does not prove that he will not be ruthless to teach Liu Mang a lesson.
And the characteristic of an honest person is that when he gets angry, he really kills him!
...
...
Taught to be a man!
Before the first quarter was over, Liu Mang was replaced after only three minutes into the game.
Today I was completely taught to be a man!
Nash scored 12 points in three and a half minutes!
Two three-pointers, two breakthrough layups, and a foul made two free throws!
Liu Mang was the one defending Nash...
In the second half of the first quarter, although Nowitzki and Finley both came up, they actually came up to help Nash open up the space. These few minutes were Nash's singles time, and Nowitzki and Finley also played. To rest, their playing time is as high as 39 minutes, part of the time is to help teammates to open up space and rest.
Nash's rampage completely exceeded Coach Kruger's expectations. Because of the scouting report analysis and video analysis, Nash was just a top pitcher and a mere setter, at the edge of an All-Star level.
But in the fight against Liu Mang, Nash became a singles maniac. His thin body is like the wind. His top speed may not be as fast as Liu Mang's, but he has the control of rhythm, perfect control of the center of gravity, and his physiology and physical fitness. The touch and skills of the peak period of technology integration.
The most important thing is the golf quotient!
Nash's reading defense is too strong! Perhaps there are few people in the entire NBA who can read defense better than Nash.
However, just because of this alone, Liu Mang might not be so miserable.
Dean Grove wasn't that badly blasted.
The main reason is that Liu Mang's mentality is out of balance!
In this regard, Liu Mang is indeed far inferior to Dean Grove. A traditional down-to-earth point guard like Dean Grove has never thought about dealing with the opponent's All-Star point guard. The idea in his heart is not to seek merit , strive to be flawless, and follow the defense honestly.
And after Liu Mang was teased for the first time, he wanted to take revenge. As a result, he attacked and hit the iron. When he came back to defend too fast, Nash rushed to the basket and licked the basket with a low hand.
In another round, Nash pretended to make a shot. Liu Mang was on guard and was not fooled, but Nash really jumped up, and Liu Mang followed suit. As a result, Nash threw the ball to Nowitzki who came out to meet him. The take-off was just lightly off the ground, and after landing, he drilled inside and made another breakthrough layup.
Then Nash followed up with another three-pointer. In the end, Liu Mang couldn't help knocking Nash over and sent two free throws to the opponent.
5 rounds in a row! Liu Mang was played by Nash in the applause!
Coach Kruger murmured that it was not good, Liu Mang really hit the iron plate this time! Quickly replace Liu Mang.
Liu Mang is completely fooled now!
This is a situation that has never been encountered before!
Being abused so miserably!
There was only one thought in Liu Mang's mind - impossible!
But the facts are in front of us!
Nash brought Liu Mang unprecedented... shadows!
The main reason is that the psychological gap is too great! For playing Iverson, Jordan, Tracy McGrady, and Kobe Bryant, he was awarded 40 to 50 points. Liu Wei had already prepared himself mentally, so he would not lose his mental balance if he was abused.
Playing Payton and Kidd is a good idea to kill the opponent, and one of the two old scoring methods has declined, and the other can't shoot at all, so there is no such thing as being blown up by the opponent's offense.
However, Nash gave Liu Mang the impression that his scoring was definitely not as good as those of Iverson, Kobe, and McGrady, and his defense was a black hole. Then he underestimated his opponent, and was brutally abused by the opponent.
At this time, Liu Mang exploded on the spot!
