Chapter 428
Jordan's beautiful fadeaway jumper!
This scene is too familiar, Jordan's strongest killer move!
Seeing that the 40-year-old Jordan can easily score two points on Rahim, who is now very recognized for his excellent offensive and defensive skills, at the beginning of the game, and he still has a height disadvantage of eight centimeters, even Even Eagles fans couldn't help cheering Jordan.
Then, just when Jordan wanted to provoke Liu Mang, he saw that Liu Mang was gone!
Turning around, Liu Mang had already crossed the halftime! Fortunately, at this time, Stackhouse had already stepped back.
Obviously, Stackhouse was very afraid of Liu Mang's speed, and he immediately returned to defense when he saw Jordan's shot.
Muhammad picked up the ball and sent it to Rahim, who threw it straight forward!
Liu Mang received the ball from beyond the three-point line. When he received the ball, he glanced at Stackhouse in front of him. This guy has really improved his defense after coming to the Wizards this year. He will be the best sixth man of the Mavericks in the future. It means that the contender is popular, or it may be that he was trained by Coach Carlisle during the Pistons period, and he has an excellent defensive awareness.
Liu Mang didn't hesitate, received the ball and continued to rush inside. Stackhouse rushed up after Liu Mang entered the free throw line, wanting to give Liu Mang physical contact.
At this time, Liu Mang slapped the ball on the ground, and Stackhouse, who was stepping out, opened his legs a little too wide, and the ball passed precisely through Stackhouse's crotch like a part of Liu Mang's body. At the same time, Liu Mang turned his back and bypassed Stackhouse, grabbed the ball with one hand the moment he received the ball under the basket, jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket!
Stackhouse was dizzy from being shaken, Liu Mang turned around too fast, and the ball didn't know where to go, he seemed to be caught in the moment of "Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?" What are you doing? Where am I going?” in a state of complete bewilderment.
When he heard the sound of dunking into his ears, he yelled inwardly that he was not good, and turned his head to see that Liu Mang just fell from the basket!
Total play!
Jordan just scored a beautiful iconic fadeaway jumper, and Liu Mang immediately returned it with a younger and more powerful performance!
The scoring methods of the two are completely different. Jordan's style of play relies more and more on touch and strength, which is a bit late, while Liu Mang's style of play is used by young people, with speed, bounce and the kind of style that wants to tease the opponent. The mentality of youth!
Jordan smiled, not only was he prepared, but the other party was also prepared!
Stackhouse was shocked and angry at Liu Mang's ball at this time!
Since the last time he played against the Hawks at home, Stackhouse saw Liu Mang shooting and shooting from the outside, but he didn't see Liu Mang's jumping and dunking by leaps and bounds. Liu Mang, it is unlikely that his jumping will improve too much. It is not that he has never played against the strong Chinese perimeter player, so he thought Liu Mang was going to layup, but he did not expect the opponent to make such a move.
Humiliated! Stackhouse has the feeling of going to try out for the team in the summer of 1996 again!
Hughes ran back to receive Stackhouse's serve and advanced. This time Stackhouse didn't catch the ball and ran directly to the other corner.
Although Stackhouse was overthinking, he knew very well that today's game had become a duel between Jordan and that nasty second-year guy.
Jordan is a different person. He has already confirmed his invincible status in basketball. When he was a player, he was an existence that no one could win. When he was a boss, he was an existence that no one could win.
Stackhouse has sincere respect for Jordan. Both of them are from North Carolina. Stackhouse has been a diehard Jordan fan since he was a child. Now he still expects Jordan to teach the second grader a good lesson. I was afraid that I couldn't help but shoot with the ball, which ruined Jordan's business.
Liu Mang was very surprised, he made several preparations for defending Jordan.
The first one, of course, is to strictly defend Jordan. During the tactical meeting in the afternoon, Liu Mang suggested that Raheem and Prince should be responsible for defending Jordan today. Prince definitely has no objection. He is a tactical planner Raheem has no problem with how he came to be a pure professional athlete. He is more interested in making the playoffs than the statistics. He is just a little confused because he wants to prevent Jordan. Isn’t Stackhouse stronger? But after hearing Liu Mang's pre-match declaration of war, everything is easy to understand.
Raheem is top-notch in single defense, where his body is, and his defense is not bad with his attitude. Prince is already a future defensive expert. At the age of 22, he is thinner than the Pistons, and his skills and awareness have already improved. Very mature.
The defense of these two men was Liu Mang's first-hand preparation for defending against Jordan.
The second preparation is to stimulate as much as possible Stackhouse, a guy with a frighteningly low shooting percentage. This guy who has a career shooting percentage of less than 41% and a year-round shooting percentage of less than 40%. If he stimulated this guy and made him wave, he would have countless opportunities to fight back.
Because the Wizards lineup is slow, Liu Mang can counterattack and attack the basket alone.
But I didn't expect Stackhouse to hold back his desire to soar!
This surprised Liu Mang.
It's just that Stackhouse's three-point ability... is far from Larry Hughes! The effect of opening up space is too small!
Larry Hughes' shooting percentage this season is 47+36, and Stackhouse's is 39+29. Seeing Larry Rest pass the ball to Jordan, Liu Mang rushed towards the basket without hesitation. Double-team Jordan with Raheem!
Jordan's passing is not bad. There was a season in which he averaged 8 assists per game. He immediately distributed the ball to Stackhouse in the corner on the other side of the basket. Stackhouse received a pass from God. The ball, I was about to be unable to suppress the desire to shoot wildly, but this time I couldn't suppress it at all, and shot a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball!
Seeing Stackhouse catching and shooting, Liu Mang rushed towards the frontcourt without looking back. Although the Eagles played poorly in the first two months, they have always been good at rebounding. So far this season, they have averaged 45 per game. rebounds, ranking fifth in the league, second only to the Pistons, Spurs, Timberwolves, and Lakers.
The Wizards are fourth from the bottom in the rebounding league. On the one hand, not many can grab rebounds. Kwame Brown, Laettner, and Jordan are the best rebounders in the Wizards team, but the Wizards as a whole only have three rebounds. There are more than 6 balls, and none of them are more than 7.
Larry Hughes didn't even react at the top arc. He just watched Liu Mang pass by him. He really never thought that someone would play like this!
Just when Liu Mang just rushed out of the three-point line, Stackhouse's three-pointer was unsurprisingly solid! Stackhouse's daily strikes, he only scored three or four three-pointers per game. This time he was not so lucky, and he bounced high on the backboard!
Just when Ratliff saw the ball falling towards him and was ready to accept a rebound with joy, Kwame Brown was very active at this time, using his excellent bounce, he slapped the ball beyond everyone's expectations Come out, Larry Hughes received the ball unexpectedly, this is really unexpected! They averaged only 8.5 offensive rebounds per game, the lowest in the league. I didn't expect Kwame Brown to grab an offensive rebound.
Larry Hughes, who received the ball, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly started! He is a very comprehensive forward and guard swingman. He used to focus on breakthroughs in the Warriors, but he developed three-pointers when he came to the Wizards. Now that the Eagles' defensive position has been completely messed up due to rebounding, the key is that Liu Mang has already Out of the center line, now 5 on 4!
When Larry Hughes rushed to the three-point line, there was no one in front of him. Prince also went in to grab a rebound. When Larry Hughes rushed to the free throw line, it was useless for Prince to defend Now, Larry Hughes has already fully accelerated. At this time, Prince's top is a defensive foul at the basket. Post, in anticipation of drawing an offensive foul.
Larry Hughes leaned over and staggered Prince to take off! At this time Ratliff came to defend! Seeing Ratliff approaching, Prince quickly double-teamed.
Larry Hughes passed the ball to the right side of the basket in the air, not a shot, but a pass!
Kwame Brown jumped high, almost at the height of the flat frame of his head, and pressed the ball into the basket!
Can't hold the ball, but champion Lang can still catch the ball!
Kwame Brown surprised everyone with a rebound and a dunk close to the frame!
What a surprise this ball!
No one thought that it was Kwame Brown, known as the most parallel champion in history, especially even Olowokandi of the Clippers was very grateful for saving his parallel champion. No one thought that in this round In the attack, Kwame Brown actually became a key figure!
In addition, Kwame Brown's super physical fitness displayed by two bounces is astonishing!
A big center can actually dunk with a flat frame! It's incredible!
