Chapter 7 7. A Three-Pointer with Free Throws as a Sacrifice?

Chapter 7 7. A three-pointer with free throws as a sacrifice?

The Rockets were completely dumbfounded, how can they make it? Why not go to heaven!

Just a minute later, the Eagles played another 5-0, and the Rockets' lead was only one point left!

Not everyone is Popovich. Tomjanovich, one of the few coaches in NBA history who can win consecutive championships, can't afford to lose that person.

Francis looked at Liu Mang, who had once again shrunk to the free throw line in front of him, with unbelievable eyes. This one is luck, and the two are coincidences, but again and again! What's the situation with this continuous investment!

Feeling convulsed today?

The Eagles' morale skyrocketed because of consecutive scoring. Liu Mang's blood was already boiling. As long as Francis rushed in, he would go straight up.

pain?

Didn't it hurt to wrestle just now?

Isn't it more painful to be rushed up by Francis!

Just now Liu Mang was hit by Francis and was about to lose his temper. He rushed up to fight back and fell a piece of dog shit. Although this dog shit looked handsome to the fans, he had a domineering, cool, and explosive feeling, but he hurt himself! If he hadn't protected his handsome face, he would have almost bumped into the camera.

After hitting three three-pointers in a row, Liu Mang was a bit over the top, watching Francis rush in again and directly go up to resist.

Liu Mang's defensive action was a little big, and when he reached out to block Francis' chest, he felt a little regretful, and he was about to foul!

However, the referee didn't blow...

The referees who have gone through the 1980s and 1990s completely ignore such trivial matters as the upper hand. As long as you don't pull people, you can hit your chest with a small fist, and you can hit it.

Moreover, in front of Francis' strong body, Liu Mang stretched out his hand... It's really like the feeling of a small fist hitting your chest. Francis slammed Liu Mang aside with a flick of his arm. Similarly, the referee didn't blow this action. Allow you to beat your chest with fists and fists, and don't allow others to resist.

Liu Mang felt what it meant to be an egg hitting a rock, and was crushed to the side just like that.

But Francis, who rushed in, was also uncomfortable. Facing Muhammad, an iron-blooded power forward, and the golden generation who rushed to do it, he was undrafted, and then he couldn't help at all inside. The long-footed Raheem is difficult to defend against the ball. Kenny Thomas is the kind of small forward who may not be able to shoot a three-pointer in a season. He can't play the role of opening up space. It has been directly contracted to double-team.

The old cat Mobley and Francis are also suffering. They are almost one of the best backcourt combinations in the league, but they are the only two of the Rockets who have averaged double figures per game. The others...are scumbags scum.

Francis was sniped again in front of the Eagles' iron barrel, and once again plunged into the crowd and missed a strong shot.

The eagle strikes back!

The Rockets returned to defense quickly this time, and the Eagles had already returned to defense when Francis made a shot, so it was useless for Liu Mang to make a quick move.

However, returning to defense is fast, and there is also a transition time between offense and defense. When Emmanuel pushed forward with the ball, the Rockets hadn't fully settled down yet. Rahim's footsteps were too fast. The frequency of footsteps is not slow. If it is not for the heart of becoming a superstar and the subsequent serious injuries, he seems to be able to maintain the ability of a superstar for a long time.

Emmanuel and Raheem passed the ball hand-in-hand. Raheem took the ball and stepped into the three-second zone in two steps, forcing the Eagles to shrink. At this time, Raheem threw the ball to take advantage of Francis When looking inside, he ran to Liu Mang at the top arc.

Liu Mang catches the ball and makes a shot!

"Oops!"

Now Liu Mang is possessed by Klay Thompson. This kind of super pitcher is very sensitive to whether the ball he throws can be scored. He feels wrong the moment the ball is shot, and his sense of rhythm is not so good.

However, Francis, who was running out of the vacant seat by Liu Mang because of inattention, came over and hit Liu Mang on the arm, knocking him to the ground!

The referee whistles!

Thug foul!

"Fuck!" Liu Mang spat out a sentence in Chinese, this kind of foul that almost slapped people on the floor was just an ordinary foul!

The fans at the scene began to boo. It is normal to prevent the opponent from shooting and fouling when there is no other way, but this action is too big. It is not a rush at all, but a rush!

Liu Mang was furious. Although he made three free throws, it hurt so much!

Liu Mang is still afraid of referees, mainly because the referees in the future are really awesome. The referees can do anything to prevent players from receiving the ball in tactics, and if they complain, they will be technically fouled.

But in fact, no matter what era the referees are, if Liu Mang, a rookie, complains, he may also suffer a technical foul.

Come on, three free throws are fine, Liu Mang doesn't pick, if the ball was thrown just now and there is no foul, it might be a shot, and three free throws are not bad.

Liu Mang stands at the free throw line...

It is said that the air in the plateau is fresh, and Liu Mang also likes to grow taller, but now it feels so weird!

It didn't feel too special when shooting from outside the three-point line before, after all, it was so far from the basket.

But standing on the free throw line, the scenery is so clear!

The basket is so short, there is a feeling that you can touch the basket by jumping up casually, which makes Liu Mang feel very uncomfortable.

The referee sent the ball to Liu Mang, and cheers began to erupt from the scene. From their point of view, they had a marksman! The opponent has already used a foul to stop it. This shooting foul is almost equal to a point. Liu Mang's free throw will tie the score! And there are two free throws!

Taking a breath and adjusting, Liu Mang made his first free throw...

"Boom"

Iron!

The cheering fans' voices seemed to be blocked in an instant, and the cheers stopped abruptly.

Must be so nervous! definitely is!

The fans comfort themselves like this.

Coach Kruger on the sidelines was also surprised. Although Liu Mang was selected in the second round, his performance in the summer league and the preseason was very mediocre, and he had no motivation due to his low pick. Free throws are still very accurate, after all, he is a good pitcher in college.

But today the three-pointer is extremely accurate, and that kind of magical shot can be scored, so why is it so hard to make free throws?

Unexpectedly, it must be too excited and nervous, Coach Kruger comforted himself.

However, Liu Mang's second free throw was also determined!

Now the fans on the scene collapsed: Could it be that three three-pointers were sacrificed with three free throws? No!

Coach Kruger stood up again. He saw that his team was about to overtake after chasing points, and then relied on morale to suppress the Rockets. The Rockets are much weaker than the Eagles. They have been in the lottery zone for several years. That Eddie Griffin was the No. 7 pick selected by the Rockets after their worst record last season. After suppressing the momentum of the Rockets in the first three quarters, as long as the Hawks overtake the score, it is unlikely that they will be rejected. The Rockets turned back again, and the Eagles were fifth in the East last season no matter what. This year, Ratliff has also recovered from his injury and will be even stronger.

Could it be that he was injured?

Coach Kruger thought that Liu Mang fell to the ground first, and then was directly slapped on the floor by Francis. He was worried and wanted to call a timeout, but he saw that the Rockets had sent assistants to call for free throws. Timeout, so I am going to let Liu Mang score the remaining free throw, and then replace Liu Mang later.

If Liu Mang can score 10 points in the first game in his rookie season, Coach Kruger feels that this will greatly enhance the confidence of this student, and it may offset the shadow of the previous draft loss.

The fans were talking about it, the coach was having a lot of fun, and Liu Mang was thinking about it.

"The first time the arc was too high, I have grown taller and adjusted the arc a little lower, the second time the force was too light, the arc was lower and the arc was lowered and I needed to use a little more force to throw it smoothly..."

Liu Mang tried free throws twice, and finally found the feeling of free throws. Now he has the shooting ability of Klay Thompson. As long as his brain is not as stupid as the system said, as long as he can adjust according to the actual situation, he believes that he can make free throws. In!

Liu Mang has been playing for a few minutes, and he also understands what the system means when it says that it can only play 80% of Klay Thompson's strength. I played 100%, what I can't play is the defense and air cuts supported by Klay Thompson's first-class physical fitness! There is definitely no discomfort in shooting, after all, that is the most basic thing for basketball players.

After Liu Mang and his teammates who couldn't bear to watch, high-fived, they walked to the free throw line again.

At this time, many fans were already blindfolded. They didn't want to watch the rookie three free throws that they just thought were good pitchers.

Then, Liu Mang made a hollow free throw for the third time...

66 levels!

After the start of the final quarter, the Eagles played a wave of 12 to 2, obliterating the 10-point advantage that the Rockets created after fighting for three full quarters in the first three quarters!

Seeing that Liu Mang's third free throw was hit hollow! The fans at the scene were stunned again, and finally gave applause...

The Rockets called a timeout.

Liu Mang was very excited, because he not only made a free throw just now, it was Klay Thompson's ability to make a free throw. He still has this self-knowledge, and he was excited because of the voice in his head!

"Congratulations to the host for scoring 10 points in a single game for the first time, opening the basketball player section of the superstar lottery template, and rewarding the first draw for free."

Superstar Sweepstakes Template! This sounds much taller than the rogue lottery template!

Just when Liu Mang walked back to the bench excitedly, a group of team doctors surrounded him, and then dragged Liu Mang, who looked confused, into the locker room for inspection...

Liu Mang almost yelled out, what's wrong? Sent away for missing free throws? These guys are doctors, are they going to be dissected?
