Chapter 447

I don't know how Yao Ming felt when he played against his idol. Anyway, when Liu Mang saw Sabonis for the first time, he felt incredible.

This is the feeling of an ordinary former Soviet uncle!

Liu Mang looked at the world basketball superstar known as the roof of the world in front of him. With his big head, short neck, and long arms, he looked like many uncles who were oppressed by life but still working on the construction site with their heads held high. , although the neck is shortened by the pressure of life, but still actively working hard for life... The neck is short, and the height seems to be more substantial. Liu Mang tried to think about Yao Ming and Sabonis, who are not too different in height from Sabonis. The picture together...

Liu Mang couldn't help but think of the comparison between No. 35, who chose the most difficult path, and the long-necked dragon who was not seriously injured but retired due to illness.

Boozer saw the little boss laughing non-stop, and looked at the end of the court, it was nothing funny! Today's opponent is so difficult to deal with, and the little boss can actually laugh. Is this the legendary big heart?

Boozer couldn't figure it out... he felt that it would be nice to just be a little brother honestly.

After the starters went to say hello to Sabonis, Liu Mang took Boozer, who looked like a bandit, to pay tribute to the world basketball superstar. After Sabonis made it clear that this was the last season, Even when O'Neal played against the Trail Blazers, he went up to pay tribute.

But who is Liu Mang? Public Enemy of Portland!

As soon as Liu Mang took Boozer to the Trail Blazers' side for halftime, boos exploded.

Sabonis was having a good time with the excellent juniors Raheem and Jason Terry. Suddenly, explosive boos came from the scene, which surprised Sabonis. The other party came to pay tribute. Why are the fans booing?

Then, seeing Liu Mang with a "bodyguard" behind him, he was not surprised at all. This young man was booed everywhere he went.

Before Liu Mang could speak, Sabonis, a hearty former Soviet uncle, spoke first: "Haha, I just said why the fans are so enthusiastic, so it's Ace who came, don't worry, we won't fight, we don't need to bring bodyguards. "

enthusiasm? Liu Mang listened to the boos at the scene, the fans were really enthusiastic, but poor Boozer was booed.

I am very used to booing. Europeans and Americans have a much more cheerful personality than their domestic peers. The thirty-eight or nine-year-old uncles in China have basically "have a calm heart". Liu Mang immediately stretched out his hand to respond. : "Hi, Mr. Sabonis, I'm Ace Liu, and this guy's name is Carlos. Although he doesn't look good to the audience, he's a nice guy."

Sabonis didn't expect Liu Mang to be so polite. He thought that this young man would shoot and issue a challenge declaration or something, because Liu Mang has always behaved like this in front of celebrities in the past two years.

Liu Mang's performance was beyond Sabonis' expectation, and he reached out his hand to shake Liu Mang: "You can just call me Avidas, is your bodyguard named Carlos, looks sorry for the audience? This description...is really interesting ..."

After teasing, Sabonis extended his hand towards Boozer: "Hello, Carlos, I heard that you also grew up in the Nordic region? Not bad, you look like us Nordic people, and you look really strong."

Boozer is so helpless by the side, boss, what do you mean by looking sorry for the audience? Can you explain? Seeing Sabonis' outstretched hand, Boozer was flattered and quickly reached out to shake it.

In fact, the fans at the scene were as surprised as Sabonis. Seeing Liu Mang say hello and shake hands, he just stood aside without saying a word, quite surprised.

They booed so hard, there is a very important reason, that is, they thought that Liu Mang might be talking nonsense again, so they booed Liu Mang at the beginning, but they didn't expect that Liu Mang was really just saying hello... Blazers fans I actually feel a little regretful...

...

The pre-match salute was over, and the players of both teams returned to the bench. The game was about to start soon, and the two teams started to make pre-match preparations.

The starters of the two teams were played on the big screen, and the players also played.

The Blazers sent Derrick Anderson, Bunch Wells, Scottie Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, and Dale Davis to the starting lineup.

This year is a year for some Trail Blazers players to rise, such as Bunch Wells who just signed a big contract, and Liu Mang's player of the same class, Randolph who averaged two points per game last year.

But it was also a year when many Blazers players gradually faded out of the league, such as the veteran superstar Scottie Pippen. Pippen’s big contract is in the last year. The huge contract of 19.73 million does block the Blazers’ salary space, but It's time to end too.

The little flying mouse has also become an old flying mouse. Damon Stoudemire lost his starting position this year. His ankle injury has seriously affected his strength. He is 30 years old and it is unlikely that he will regain his previous speed. .

The Eagles continued to send Jason Terry, Prince, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff to the starting lineup.

Soon, the final preparation time before the game was over. After the two teams finished their opening moves, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Players from the two teams came to the field, and Ratliff and Dale Davis jumped the ball.

Ratliff, who was in his prime at age 30, easily won the jump ball over the head of the 34-year-old Dale Davis.

The Eagles go first.

Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt and Bunch Wells defended him.

Liu Mang on the sidelines looked at the Blazers' defensive enthusiasm and secretly sighed that today's game is difficult to play! The biggest difference between the Blazers this year and last year is their defensive enthusiasm. Even Bunch Wells, who has always disliked defense and only likes gambling steals, focused on guarding outside the three-point line and did not advance aggressively.

Although Wells also had a few steals last season, the aggressive gambling steals not only did not bring any help to the Blazers, but instead caused loopholes in the Blazers' perimeter defense. The steals have dropped a lot, but the defensive effect has improved a lot.

Liu Mang feels that sometimes, a veteran with enough prestige is really important to a team!

Without Liu Mang on the court, the Hawks' tactics would be the same as the current trend of the league. Rahim, the team boss with low post singles ability, first sat in the low post to rely on Pippen to ask for the ball.

Time is not forgiving, Pippen is completely at a disadvantage in the card position with Raheem, and Raheem's style of play is getting stronger and stronger, relying more and more on the inside, which is inseparable from the needs of the team, the Eagles There are not many players who can score in the interior, so Raheem needs to go as far as possible in the interior.

Jason Terry passed the ball to Raheem, and Raheem turned towards the baseline. Pippen really couldn't keep up with his strong and quick footsteps, but the Blazers made up the defense very quickly. Raheem just Turning around and stepping on the sideline on the left side of the three-second zone, the oncoming face is Rasheed Wallace's rough face.

Raheem was surprised!

When he played against Rasheed Wallace last year, Rasheed Wallace didn't have this kind of defensive awareness and enthusiasm!

Pippen's defense now relies more on flops and small moves. Raheem is now blocked by a rough guy in the front, and Pippen is constantly interfering with small moves in the back. Mulder consciously pulled to the middle distance, and Rahim immediately passed it.

For Muhammad to the middle distance, Rasheed Wallace didn't worry too much. Muhammad only made more than 60% of his free throws. Raheem didn't score or cause a foul. Pass the ball to a power forward who has no scoring means, and Rasheed Wallace's cover defense has been considered a success.

The moment Muhammad received the ball, Muhammad immediately turned around and dribbled a step towards the outside. At the same time, Jason Terry suddenly cut to the inside. Wells reacted quickly and was in harmony. Jason Terry is in a parallel position, sincerely active and focused, Jason Terry's sudden cut off the ball, Wells did not lose his position.

But Muhammad also improved. He took a dribble and threw the ball directly, and then went up to help Jason Terry block Wells. Jason Terry got rid of Wells and rushed to the ball. basket!

This ball has the pick-and-roll feeling of Boozer and Garnett. Although Muhammad can't achieve the effect of attracting two people to defend like Boozer and Garnett, Muhammad has no defense in front of him. When defending people, this trick really looks good.

Jason Terry rushed to the free throw line, Dale Davis and Pippen defended together, Jason Terry passed back again to Raheem who pulled out to the left of the three-second zone, Raheem Mu kept the ball in his hands and passed it directly to the other side of the three-second zone. Ratliff caught the ball and hit it high to score two points.

The ball was scored, but the shot clock took 22 seconds!

too difficult!

After the Eagles scored the goal, the Blazers were very upset. Wells kept making elbows in front of the referee, saying that Muhammad's pick-and-roll fouled just now, and it was a moving pick-and-roll.

But the referee could see clearly that Muhammad was really not a moving pick-and-roll. Before the contact, Muhammad had already established his position. It is essential to move his footsteps without blocking someone like No. 21. difference, so there is no reason to chatter about the big stick.

With Flying Squirrel in the starting lineup, the Blazers didn't have a serious point guard, and Derek Anderson received the ball and advanced.

However, Derek Anderson's organizational skills are not bad. He is quite an all-round guard, with more than 3 assists and rebounds all year round. The peak year was the last year of his rookie contract in the Spurs. He averaged 15.5 points in 12 shots per game. 4.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists, and then the Spurs couldn't afford a big contract, and were poached by the Blazers for 30 million in 4 years.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Anderson didn't hold the ball, but handed it to the stick Wells.

Today, it was probably time for Prince to pay his tuition. When Wells received the ball, all the Blazers pulled away, and Wells rushed straight to the basket after receiving the ball.

The current Bangzi is not the fat man who didn’t get a big contract and didn’t care to train during the Rockets period. He is muscular and has excellent speed and explosive power. He had the courage to go up without fear...and then was miserably run over. Wells rushed to the inside. Ratliff quickly defended and had good defensive habits. He raised his hands and did not take off.

But the characteristic of Wells is that he is a guard who plays like a power forward. His inside footsteps are too good. He turned and moved laterally to the other side of Ratliff, and when Ratliff turned, he cut a step into the basket. Next, turn around and come behind Ratliff and throw the ball to the basket.

Fantastic footsteps in the back! Ratliff got dizzy from Wells' spinning top!

Really suck! When there is someone with a thorny personality who can suppress Wells, he is, as he claims, the best guard in the NBA with inside scoring skills!

This time and again, the two teams were tied.

However, the process was beyond the expectations of the fans. From the data point of view, the Blazers are an offensive team, while the Eagles are a star team. The three main scorers of the Eagles averaged 71 points per game after December 21, 2002. Points, accounting for nearly 70% of the Eagles' total points.

But in this opening offense, the Eagles actually played a team offense with many passes and took a long time, while the Blazers played singles and made the ball in a few seconds.

Coach Kruger faintly felt something was wrong on the sidelines. It seemed that the Blazers' strategy was to let the Eagles play in a way they were not good at!

It’s short and sharp again, but let’s start with a chapter before 12 o’clock, and continue writing later, and the next chapter will be a 4D burst chapter, which is still a joke about daily tasks.

After two weeks of overtime work at the company, I can finally rest this Sunday, so I sent a message to the girl I just met, wanting to make an appointment, and I asked: Are you free again this Sunday? The location is XXX, the girl didn't say anything, and directly sent me 3 car logos, Buick, logo, Toyota. As a result, on Sunday, the girl didn't come, what do you mean by this?
