Chapter 453: 451. Start with a Ball...

"Ace, have you heard what Marbury said?"

"I see, it's very interesting."

"He said he was going to knock you down in the game, will you be careful about that?"

"oh."

"He said you can only score and nothing else, what do you think about that?"

"No opinion."

"..." The reporter who came all the way from Los Angeles was speechless, you should respond! Unscientific! Why is it different from usual, usually this guy is not the type of low-key man!

Liu Mang can't respond verbally even if he is killed, so he is going to use the game to speak today!

The main reason is that there are already three tasks on him, and Liu Wei also chose to receive the level 5 daily tasks that have been determined in advance.

But there are already three, Liu Mang doesn't want to be quick-mouthed for a while, and then come up with a difficult task, so the pressure of this game should not be too great.

The Suns are competing with the Rockets for the eighth place in the Western Conference. At the same time, there is also a battle for the best rookie between Yao Ming and Amare Stoudemire. In terms of rebounds, Yao Ming has a slight advantage in data, and there are nearly two assists and two blocks. However, the best rookie is mainly based on scoring, followed by rebounds, and then record. Now that the two have similar data, record has become the focus.

Whether it's a playoff spot or the first rookie in team history since the merger of the NBA and the ABA, the Suns want it.

So Liu Mang knew that this game was not easy to play, so he didn't add any extra difficulty. Originally, there were no weak teams in the playoffs, and they were still teams in the Western Conference playoffs. Now it is already difficult, so don't make it more difficult. .

People who often watch the news will find that when domestic reporters are interviewing abroad, they often keep their attitude very low. Whether they are covering NBA or European football, they are all "expecting to answer", while European and American reporters are holding on. .

Today is the same. The questions asked by domestic reporters are very subtle, but the Sports Illustrated reporter is still not reconciled, and continues to fire: "Marbury said that his teammates are better than your teammates. What do you think of his statement?"

this problem!

Liu Mang really had to answer!

Liu Mang organized the language, and there it is!

"Wow, this is the most level sentence Marbury said. Look at my group of teammates. One will only grab my three-point shot, which is more accurate than me, and the other will only grab my chance to score inside. Better than me, one by one stealing my blocks every day, everything is done by them, it is useless at all, it is so boring to have this group of guys, I can only lie down and enter the playoffs, by the way, Mabu Have you made the playoffs here? I don’t have any impression.”

"..."

He didn't play the cards according to the routine! The Sports Illustrated reporter was already desperate for this interview. I thought Liu Mang would just keep silent today, but who knew that there would be a bunch of counterattacks... Prepare yourself mentally, please!

Moreover, this is obviously a way to praise his teammates in a different way, and it hurts Marbury!

But now that he has spoken, the reporter of course has to continue: "Marbury made the playoffs during the Timberwolves."

"Timberwolves? Teammate Garnett, right? Our family Dinah and Garnett can make the playoffs together."

"Dinah? A female basketball player?" The reporters were stunned. They actually used a female athlete to compare with Marbury!

"Hmm... Maybe she will become a basketball player. She is only 7 years old. I don't want to plan her future career. She might like to play basketball."

"..." This time, the reporters couldn't describe it in terms of surprise. This second grader didn't speak until he spoke. When he spoke, he frightened everyone to death!

...

...

In the locker room, Liu Mang is doing warm-up before the game, first doing aerobic exercise and then stretching.

Liu Mang really couldn't help but hit back at Marbury. It was mainly because of the media's troubles. In fact, many times, when NBA players saw opponents' provocative remarks, they still wanted to be a "high-income" group at the beginning. , Even if I have no self-cultivation, I still want to put on a show.

But the reporter provoked the incident face to face, and the players couldn't help but fight back as they talked.

Many conflicts were bombarded by the media, but when it came to matters related to his teammates, Liu Mang had no choice but to respond, and this aspect could be easily answered.

By the way, I can also mock Marbury at the end and quote O'Neal's few classic trash talk.

Because of the news interviewed by Marbury yesterday, the Eagles arrived at the American West Arena today and were surrounded by reporters.

Marbury only played Yao Ming two months ago, and directly knocked his opponent down. It was still very topical. It was discussed for a long time at that time, and then Yao Ming asked Barkley to kiss the ass of the donkey.

At this time, the heat of that matter has passed, but because of Marbury's rhetoric, this matter has been remembered again. The protagonist is another Chinese player, so it has become a hot topic again

As a result, this game, which was not broadcast live across the United States, became a popular game.

Accepting an interview and counterattacking Marbury, Liu Mang estimated that Marbury would be even more furious.

This is also a good thing, the more irritable Marbury plays, the easier it is to beat him and beat him in all directions!

Liu Mang thought for a while, this game needs to be played differently!

It is very difficult to surround Marbury with points, rebounds and assists in all directions, mainly rebounds and assists. Marbury is not a good scorer. In the seventh season of his career, there are only 6 times of 40+ and 1 time of 50 +, compared with Kobe and Iverson in the same year.

Of course, Marbury is not a player who wins by scoring. His style of play is more traditional, and he has a good grasp of breakthrough scoring and distribution.

Liu Mang did not underestimate Marbury's ability to lead the team because of some inaccurate understandings of Marbury. This gave him a bully, a gibbon, a contemporary Jordan, a penny...he just Do you have the ability to lead the team into the playoffs?

It is the most difficult for Liu Mang to surpass Marbury in the number of assists in the game, so he chose to start today, and he is ready to play the whole game. Fortunately, this year, the core players play all the time Field is no big deal.

In terms of rebounding, Marbury is very good, very good. In the best year, he averaged 3.2 rebounds per game. This season, he averaged 22 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists per game. The rebounds are still bad. It is not directly proportional to his physical fitness. ball awareness.

So mainly assists!

The general direction is clear, and Liu Mang feels that more preparations are needed. After looking at the system space, there are two manic potions, one advanced alienation card, and the star cards of Ben Wallace and Reggie Miller.

Manic Potion... Divorce Card...

If you have a chance, you can use it. Reggie Miller's peak star card is very precious, and it is more suitable for the playoffs. The 10 minutes of the decisive game are still very critical.

Ben Wallace's star card can be used.

But it’s still not safe, Liu Wei looked at the superstar value of 17791 points, let’s smoke it once!

Regarding the system, Liu Mang now fully understands that, except for star cards and special cards, which are useful in the game, he will not give items that directly improve his strength.

What can improve strength is skill cards and action packs, and you have to practice hard on the technical moves of skill cards and the actions of habitual action packs.

The fruits of jumping and strength do not directly improve strength, but only when the technology reaches a certain level can the strength be improved by improving physical fitness.

"Boss of the system, use a mid-level superstar value draw to designate a special card!"

"The host uses the mid-level superstar value to draw a lottery once, and there is a one-third chance to designate a special card, consuming 10,000 superstar points..."

"Bodhisattva bless, the boss of the system is mighty..." Liu Mang prayed silently in his heart...

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for getting a special card: Phase."

"Phase: During an attack, the opponent will misjudge the host's intentions. The more accurate the prediction, the greater the probability of misjudgment."

what is this?

Liu Mang looked at the somewhat convoluted explanation of the special card, but couldn't understand the effect of this special card all of a sudden, feeling that his IQ was being suppressed...

...

...

Want to start!

Liu Mang came to Jason Terry, who was doing stretching, and said that he wanted to start. Unexpectedly, Jason Terry agreed without hesitation. Coach Ruger.

Seeing that Jason Terry wanted to play the sixth man so much, Liu Mang also seemed to like playing the sixth man very much. Coach Kruger wondered why these two guys are so obsessed with the sixth man position?

...

After the warm-up and stretching before the game, the Eagles entered the field.

Originally, the Eagles and the Suns belonged to the two teams that could not be matched in terms of relationship. The peak period of the Eagles was in the 1950s and 1980s, and the peak period of the Suns was in the 1960s and 1990s. They were completely staggered. For ten years, there have been at most two hand-offs a year, and the lockout season has only played one game. There is no major intersection, and the number of trades between the two teams is pitifully small.

However, because of the mutual quarrel between Liu Mang and Marbury, as well as the fuel of the media, when the Eagles entered the field, the audience was booed.

Ratliff, as the core insider of the team, was the first to play, followed by the defender, and Prince was the second to play. When the third player, that is, Liu Mang, came out, the boos on the scene reached the highest value. , but Muhammad who entered the field later and Rahim who entered the field last, booed like a general.

Liu Mang felt the fans booing him at the scene, but there were those fiery eyes that wanted to tear him apart.

Needless to say, when a player with Marbury's style of play plays well, the fans of his team really love him. If he is traded to the Knicks in the future like history, he will still He has the title of Son of New York, but his relationship with Isaiah Thomas collapsed later, and everything collapsed. Liu Mang remembers that Marbury seemed to be traded every time and was finally cut by the Knicks. It seemed that it was not because of him. Bad play is basically due to off-court factors.

Of course, Marbury himself is not good. In the end, Isaiah Thomas had problems with the Knicks, but Marbury himself had even bigger problems. He applauded for love with underage girls in the parking lot, sucking happy little powder He also recorded a video and put it on the Internet. If you don't die, you won't die. Even without Isaiah Thomas, he changed teams several times in a row. It can be seen that he will not end well in the NBA.

beat him! Although Liu Mang has nothing to do with Marbury, logically speaking, there is nothing that can make him hate Marbury, but if the other party picks a problem first, then defeat him!

Liu Mang was a little annoyed by the booing, so he raised his hand and used his little finger to pick out his ears...

Hearing the louder boos at the scene, the Eagles players were quite calm, what else could they do if they were not calm? My sophomore loves to make trouble too much, and is provoking his opponent again.

The Eagles players are ready, and some teams may not be able to go if they change teams in the future.

Then the Suns players entered the field, and Liu Mang looked at the starting lineup of Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, Sean Marion, Amare Stoudemire, and Junko Zacharydis , plus Joe Johnson, the sixth man, the talent of the Suns really exploded! Even Zacharydis, who is the weakest in the starting lineup, is still 2.18 meters tall, so he can't do much, but giving Marion and Stoudemire slots makes it easier for these two rebounders Grab the rebound.

In terms of strength, Marbury is indeed not as good as Nash and Kidd, but he is also quite unlucky. Every time he is traded before his teammates grow up, everyone sees him and his successors The same lineup, without considering his age.

Of course, his style of play based on sudden points will not play the role of Nash and Kidd.

When it came time to play the American Empire anthem, the players of the two teams stood in a row facing each other in their respective halfs, separated by a few meters.

Since Liu Mang didn't feel much about the American imperial anthem, although he respected such a ceremony, it was limited to actions. He followed and stood at the leftmost position in the queue, and then watched the fans and players experience the ceremony in every game together.

Liu Mang would quietly look at other people every time at this time. People with quite traditional thinking like Muhammad and Ferri all sang along. Lins was looking around like Liu Mang, and his movements were bigger than Liu Mang's. Jason Terry seemed to be singing along to the national anthem, but the frequency of his mouth...is he singing rap?

Suddenly, Liu Mang felt an unkind gaze, looked over, not surprised at all, it was Marbury!

Marbury is not a good person now! Liu Mang secretly hated his lack of strength. If he had the strength of Kobe, McGrady, and Iverson, it would be great to beat this guy to undergo socialist transformation!

"Stephen Marbury, ability value 88 (peak), offense 91, defense 80, three-pointer 75, mid-range shooting 82, layup 91, speed 91, strength 80, passing 86..."

Looking at Marbury, Liu Mang felt that he really resembled Francis! Francis is stronger, and Marbury has better shooting ability. After comparing the statistics and honors of the two, it seems that the strength of the two is really the same.

Last year's Suns team was pretty bad, and they all got the No. 9 pick. At that time, Marbury was mainly playing with statistics, because he couldn't win the ball, so although he had a little experience of Marbury's sudden pass ability last year, But at that time, the Suns were far away from the playoffs, but this year is different. Marion has become the top small forward in the league, and he has Stoudemire, who has immediate combat power and great potential, so Marbury Liu Mang and Marbury looked at each other more easily than before, and Liu Mang clearly felt Marbury's disdain.

Obviously, Marbury doesn't like Liu Mang. Seeing this kind of look, Liu Mang, oh shit, it's so cute, and he immediately returned a contemptuous look...

After the national anthem was played, the players of the two teams had the final shooting practice. Liu Mang tried two three-pointers and felt pretty good.

There is not much communication between the players of the two teams, mainly because the important players of the two teams are fighting with their opponents. The Eagles have a strong team cohesion, and the Suns have played well this year. They have a chance to enter the playoffs.

The final warm-up was over, and the two teams started on the field.

The game is on!

Ratliff and Zacharydis came to center court to jump the ball.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Zacharydis is really tall, with a height of 2.18 meters. His jumping is not good but he can do it. He defeated Ratliff and pushed the ball back.

The Suns go first.

He knew he couldn't jump. Liu Mang guessed it when he saw that the Suns' jumper was a big center and not Stoudemire, who bounced and exploded. It was definitely because Zacharydis's jumper was really good.

Liu Mang quickly retreated to the top arc of the three-point line, waiting for Marbury to come up.

Marbury looked at Liu Mang's defense very disdainfully. Last year he broke through Liu Mang and played casually. He was very direct. What he said to the media before was his innermost feelings. He felt that Liu Mang was a scorer who relied on his teammates. scoring brushes.

As for the poor record of the Eagles, 20 wins and 20 losses, he didn't pay attention to the fact that the Eagles started with 5 wins and 18 losses. They are not Eagles players or fans. They all have their own opinions on why the Eagles collapsed so badly before. Guess, Marbury's guess is that the Hawks were just lucky last season.

After Marbury advanced to the three-point line, he wanted to crush Liu Mang from the beginning, and let everyone know that he was the one who should be selected as Jordan's successor.

Marbury took two steps outside the three-point line, slowed down, bent down, and began to dribble continuously under the crotch!

Liu Mang never moved. When Marbury was showing off his skills, he didn't rush to steal because of that exaggerated movement. Whether it was Marbury now or Marbury who would be transformed by socialism in the future, he knew it all. Bree likes to use this kind of exaggerated action to let the opponent carelessly go up to steal, and then use his skillful ball control to make the opponent go round and round. Because of this, Yao Ming switched to Mabu in the first Great Wall VS Giants battle. He was thrown to the ground while playing, and was ridiculed by the Suns players and fans for a long time.

Marbury's iconic continuous crotch dribble! The fans at the scene cheered loudly when they saw this scene!

Get rid of that Chinese kid! Sudden him! Shake him down!

This is the voice of the Suns fans.

Marbury is a very emotional player. He was even more excited when he heard the cheers. He continuously dribbled the ball in front of Liu Mang and rushed towards the right side!

Just as Liu Mang subconsciously took a step back to guard against Marbury's sudden attack, he suddenly saw that when Marbury stepped out with his right foot, he didn't step hard on the ground with his foot, but a quick tap with his toe!

Words that no one else could see popped up on Liu Mang's head: Sniper level 5 trigger: 33% chance of predicting success!

Liu Mang resisted the movement of retreating to defend, and pressed up on Marbury. Sure enough, Marbury tapped his right foot and retracted it.

This happened in an instant. Marbury was surprised that Liu Mang wasn't fooled, but he didn't stop. With his right foot, he kicked hard on the ground with his toes, and with this force, he slapped the ball to the left, turning to break through to the left! As for Liu Mang's pressing action, although Marbury was a little unexpected, he didn't care, and wanted to squeeze Liu Mang away like he did in the last fight!

Liu Mang collided with Marbury without fear!

Marbury has a strength of 80, but weighs only 82 kg! With a height of 1.88 meters, he can be considered strong at this height, but! Liu Mang is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 87 kilograms! Originally, the strength of 79 was not much worse than that of Marbury, plus the advantage of weight, and because Liu Mang was tightly attached, Marbury's explosive power had no room to display, and Marbury, who wanted to knock Liu Mang away with pure strength, instead Was hit a stagger!

It's now!

Fuck him while he is careless!

Liu Mang pressed forward, relying on the advantage of his wingspan to poke the ball away from Marbury's hand, then Liu Mang jumped out and grabbed the ball!

Liu Mang controlled the ball and counterattacked!

As soon as he rushed to the center line, Marbury caught up. Liu Mang quickly advanced towards the frontcourt. Marbury really caught up. Because Liu Mang failed to trigger the solo ride, he was not as fast as Marbury when he was in possession of the ball. ! After entering the three-point line, Marbury had already stuck to Liu Mang's body and pushed Liu Mang's stomach to prevent Liu Mang from continuing to accelerate. Liu Mang's speed was suppressed.

The Suns returned to defense quickly. Marion and Stoudemire are young players with high motivation. Marbury was intercepted from the front. It seemed that there was no chance to defend. Liu Mang's counterattack was in the Already famous, especially Marion and Stoudemire, they don't have Marbury's bad habit of underestimating opponents and not watching videos, but even so, they still return to defense immediately.

It is valuable to return to defense. Both of them are extremely fast strikers. When Liu Mang rushed to the basket, he couldn't take off immediately because of Marbury's interference. At this time, Sean Marion had already rushed to the basket. At the free throw line, Liu Mang is going to force a layup at this time, and he is likely to be slapped off!

But... the Eagles' quick subconscious was not blocked, Prince rushed to the top arc, and Liu Mang immediately returned the pass!

Liu Mang's lob!

The precise passing point of the pass master level 5 fell into the hands of Prince in the top arc.

A perfectly drawn pass to the back of the defense.

Unfortunately, not everyone is Jason Terry. Seeing that there is no advantage in rebounding, Prince hesitated and shot without receiving the ball. At this time, Marion, who saw the ball flying over his head, immediately rushed to defend Pu Rings.

Prince, who hesitated for a moment before taking the shot, saw Marion rushing over. He was a little flustered as a rookie, and he threw a three-pointer that could be seen with the naked eye!

When Raheem rushed into the three-point line, he saw that he was still so far away from the basket, and he was already desperate for the rebound. Stoudemire on the other side rushed into the inside line first, and Raheem only Can look forward to this goal.

But the miracle did not happen, the ball hit the basket and bounced up.

Seeing Stoudemire rush to the basket, Raheem slowed down because the ball was not bouncing in his direction, but toward Stoudemire.

but……

An unexpected picture appeared! Liu Mang leaned on Stoudemire with his back, leaned on his wingspan, and used his fingertips to point the ball into the air! Dial to the other side of the basket!

After Liu Mang flicked the ball out, he was staggered all of a sudden.

Raheem saw that he was flying again, and his slowed pace quickened again, rushing inside and smashing the ball into the basket in the air!

Just as Prince was throwing the ball, Liu Mang just saw Stoudemire rushing in, so he went up to Stoudemire and blocked Stoudemire with his back! Then hit the ball!

Rock-solid level 1 trigger: When competing for rebounds, there is a 10% chance to perfectly block the opponent who is stuck with the host!

1 steal, 1 rebound, 1 assist!

Liu Mang was so surprised! It turns out that the trick of being as solid as a rock can still be used like this!

Get 3 stats in one attack, and make a lot of money! Originally, he wanted to spray Prince to death, but he didn't expect to have a surprise!

Marbury's whole person is not good in this offensive and defensive round! Pass the ball so accurately? Is it good to fight? Can actually grab an offensive rebound on Stoudemire's head!

Let's hang up this product!

Stoudemire was also very surprised. Just now he clearly felt that the rebound was close to his eyes, and he was not a particularly strong short man in front of him, but at that moment, he couldn't move it!

Sorry, Xiaofeng is stupid, I forgot to update it in the morning and went out. This time, the two chapters of 3000 words just happened to be published together, and there will be another chapter later in the evening.
