Chapter 750 749. The Younger Brother's Debt, the Boss Will Pay
Seeing Ostertag and O'Neill standing together, Ostertag's body shape is not worse than O'Neal's, even a little bigger, the fans couldn't help but exclaim!
When Ostertag occasionally has the opportunity to play, although the fans also think that he is huge, much larger than the average center, but compared with O'Neal, Ostertag is even bigger!
O'Neill is O'Neill. He is indeed the boss of the OK combination with Kobe. He is so different. Seeing Ostertag coming behind him, he swallowed his saliva exaggeratedly, and then turned towards Ostertag. Go up and keep asking for the ball!
After Kobe dropped the ball to O'Neal, the Eagles still had no tendency to double-team. Liu Mang went to defend Devin George, and Stockton followed Fisher to the bottom corner, still single-handedly defending O'Neal.
Unlike Ratliff who used contact to consume O'Neal when defending O'Neal, Ostertag waited for O'Neal to receive the ball.
O'Neill was unprecedentedly focused, and immediately slammed into Ostertag after receiving the ball. Ostertag knew what his role was in this team. Go straight up without fear!
"oh……"
The fans at the scene saw these two possibly the largest centers in the league colliding, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation! The most important thing is that O'Neal failed to hit Ostertag!
However, the flexible and deadly fat man is too difficult to deal with. O'Neill is the ultimate flexible and deadly fat man. He has long expected that he will not be able to hit him, but his mobility and flexibility are not comparable to Ostertag. The two go all out at the same time They bumped into each other, but O'Neal restarted the speed faster, turned left next to Ostertag, left foot as the axis, and took a step towards the left side of the two with his right foot, grabbed the ball with his right hand, from bottom to top Small toss shot...
Hit!
In again!
4 of 4 in the opening game!
Looking at O'Neal, whose stats once again exceeded 100 in the playoffs, Liu Mang had expected that even with Ostertag, he would not be able to guard against O'Neal. After O'Neal met Zen Master, the biggest change on the offensive end was He has a small hook.
But that's enough. How long can O'Neill last like that?
Liu Mang returned to the inside to receive Stockton's serve, and advanced to the frontcourt. Kobe defended again, Liu Mang immediately passed to Stockton, and then ran with the little blacksmith.
After Stockton and Boozer picked and rolled, Fisher quickly switched defenses with Malone, and Malone defended in front of Stockton.
Stockton VS Malone!
There were many fans who came to watch the game from Salt Lake City. Of course, they were mainly cheering for Stockton. Seeing Stockton facing Malone head-on, they all started booing.
Malone is very excited, although he never thought of this scene before this season, he never imagined that when both of them are still playing in the league, there will be one person who wins the championship and the other person is bound to drink hatred and face to face Case!
However, the two of them had already agreed when they had a heart-to-heart talk in the bar a few days ago, that they would go all out and not be sorry for their professionalism!
Malone nervously stepped on small steps, preparing to prevent Stockton's breakthrough.
The most underestimated thing about Stockton may not be his scoring, but his breakthrough ability. Everyone thinks that he can only pick and roll. His scoring and assists are all based on pick and roll. Few people have noticed his breakthrough, but his breakthrough Often it was the ultimate move of the Jazz! In the 1998 Western Conference Finals, in the second game between the Lakers and the Jazz, Stockton was defended with only 6 assists, but he scored 22 points on 9 of 12 shots by breaking through. , Helped the Jazz beat the Lakers 99 to 95, laying the foundation for the series!
Looking at Stockton's habitual footsteps before the breakthrough, Malone was too familiar and dared not relax a bit. Others' attention was also on the two of them. Suddenly, Stockton sent the ball to the basket fling!
What is this operation?
Rao is Malone, who has partnered with Stockton for 18 years. He has never seen Stockton play like this, pushing and shooting three-pointers with both hands?
Obviously not!
The ball flew to the left side of the basket, and Liu Mang's figure came after him. He lifted the ball in the air, and the ball fell lightly into the basket along with the force of the lift!
When Fisher saw Liu Mang hit the ground, he could only grit his teeth and pick up the ball.
Just when people's attention was on the Shuangsha duel, O'Neal at the basket focused his attention on the two of them. After Liu Mang came out from the baseline, he blocked Kobe with Boozer who came down after the pick-and-roll, and counterattacked again. Running back to the basket, Fisher switched defenses and failed to keep up. He could only watch Liu Mang run back and score two points.
When the Lakers were attacking again, Kobe received the ball and seeing the Eagles expand so far, he was very sure that the Eagles were playing against them!
Consuming O'Neill's energy!
Although I hope that O'Neal's performance is poor and he can turn the tide, Kobe is not stupid. If it was the Pistons, which everyone was not optimistic about, he would be careless, but he will deal with the 70-win Eagles.
Kobe felt that the current situation was very inappropriate, but O'Neal wanted the ball inside, and Kobe had to pass the ball in.
When Liu Mang saw that Kobe had passed the ball to O'Neal again, he was about to let go of Devin George to pinch Kobe, so he immediately stopped his steps.
Sure enough, this little blacksmith chose to maintain a stable relationship with O'Neill in the face of a strong enemy.
Difficult guy! Liu Mang stabilized his mentality and slowly fought with the Lakers.
Finally, with Ostertag able to withstand O'Neal and having a wide body that can squeeze O'Neal's basket space, O'Neal's small throw is iron!
Boozer carried his template Malone, went to the basket, and grabbed a defensive rebound!
After Ostertag came up, he put enough pressure on O'Neill!
Boozer passed the ball to Liu Mang. After receiving the ball, Liu Mang turned around and held the ball behind his back with one hand to avoid being intercepted by Kobe. He watched his teammates run forward, leading the other four players of the Lakers to the frontcourt.
Kobe looked at Liu Mang standing still, his head turned rapidly, what is this guy going to do?
While Kobe was still guessing, Liu Mang suddenly threw the ball...
Such a long distance?
Kobe didn't expect Liu Mang to pass the ball from one end of the court near the baseline to the other end!
What I didn't even expect was that it was passed on in place!
The ball was accurately sent to the free throw line area at the other end of the court. Stockton just came to that position and received the ball falling from the air. basket! Boozer followed up with a layup and scored two points!
Amidst the cheers at the scene, Liu Mang spread his hands towards Kobe and said, "You don't stick to me, I'm a point guard, I can pass the ball, and it's very good."
Kobe did not expect that Liu Mang would stand there and throw the frontcourt directly. He knew that Liu Mang passed the ball accurately. When the Eagles counterattacked, the most accurate pass was not Stockton but Liu Mang. However, The lineup of the Eagles has no ability to counterattack, and Kobe was misled by the impression of the Shuangsha tactics in his head!
Once Kobe was eliminated by the Jazz in the playoffs for two consecutive years, 4-1 in one year and swept in the other year. After that, he would study how to deal with the Jazz in the playoffs every year, but he never met the Jazz in the playoffs again. However, there was no chance of revenge until in the original history, when he met the new version of Shuangsha, he had the power to completely suppress and abuse Deron and Boozer.
The current lineup of the Eagles is very similar to that of the Jazz back then. Malone’s physical fitness exploded when he was young, but when he reached the finals, he was already 34, which is about the same speed as Boozer now. At the age of 35, the current Stockton-Gabzel is similar to that of Stockton-Malone back then. Kobe Bryant wanted to block Liu Mang, and the Eagles couldn’t start the fast break. Similarly, the Lakers They didn't expect that Stockton and Boozer, who were slow, would fight like this, and they didn't expect that there would be such a move.
10 to 10, Liu Mang thanks the universe team...
Liu Mang came up with this goal from when the Cosmos team had Bogut in the counterattack and used Bogut as the end point. It was a small test, and the result was not bad.
Just because of this difference in cognition, the Cosmos team averaged twelve or three three-pointers per game, which is really good, but their average score is more than 110 points per game. Although three-pointers are their biggest threat, their real ultimate move, But it is a defensive counterattack!
Of course, with the current rhythm of the game, there are not many such opportunities. This ball is a flash of thought.
Fisher pushed the ball over and continued to hand it to Kobe. Kobe didn't pass the ball this time and gestured towards O'Neal. Stratag is indeed difficult, he chooses to be a threat in the interior.
He made 4 of 5 shots. After O'Neill had a tough start, his physical fitness began to decline.
Bryant chose to single Prince.
Seeing that Kobe began to play singles, this was beyond Liu Mang's expectations. How could O'Neill stop playing if he didn't play?
As everyone knows, O'Neal is used to it, someone has already made a gesture not to pass the ball, what else can he do?
Unexpectedly, Liu Mang immediately rushed towards Kobe. Kobe was able to defend Prince from the outside singles, but when he broke through, Kobe rushed inside like a bison. Prince could keep up, but he couldn't hold it !
On the way Liu Mang rushed towards Kobe, suddenly a huge force hit his chest, and he was almost knocked to the ground!
Karl Malone elbow!
Malone judged Liu Mang's defense, and rushed up to block Liu Mang immediately. The speed was not so fast, and his elbows were used to extend the lateral area of his body.
Regardless of whether there is a mobile pick-and-roll, the judgment of this ball is excellent. Like Boozer, Malone is not only a pick-and-roll with the ball, but also a very good pick-and-roll against other people.
Kobe went to the basket, avoided Prince's chasing cap, and scored two points with a low layup.
Ostertag didn't dare to defend Kobe because he didn't have the ability to move laterally. Apart from holding O'Neal, he basically had no other role on the defensive end.
Liu Mang looked at Ma Long who turned back to defend with no expression, his chest was hit so badly that he almost couldn't breathe! I can't even scold people if I want to.
"Ding... The host's chest muscles are slightly strained..."
"treat."
Liu Mang didn't even finish listening to the system's prompts, so he immediately chose treatment, consuming 1 primary injury potion and 500 superstar points, and healed this minor injury that might be nothing but soreness after a night's sleep.
Although the injury was healed, the pain from the bump, which was not even a minor injury, was still there. Seeing Ma Long's back, Liu Mang seemed to be swearing, this bastard really didn't hold back at all!
The key is that the referee does not blow!
Stockton picked up the ball, passed it to Liu Mang, and said, "Be careful, Karl won't show mercy."
Nodding and pushing forward, Liu Mang never thought that Malone might be the key point that would affect the game, because Kobe didn't pass the ball to him anymore, and Boozer also shrank in just now, but he couldn't keep up. Following Kobe's footsteps, but Kobe did not pass to Malone, but Malone continued to pick and roll for Kobe.
As Liu Mang pushed forward, he watched Ma Long huddling with Boozer with no expression on his face, pressing Boozer with his strong body, putting aside the idea of using a separation card against Ma Long and Kobe, and even throwing away any information related to Ma Long. Putting all the pairings aside, someone who is willing to leave the team that has been with the team for 18 years for the sake of the championship, no matter how wronged they are, they will probably be able to bear it.
Now Ma Long can bear the humiliation, but Liu Mang can't bear it!
If you get elbowed, you will naturally come back!
When Kobe saw Liu Mang coming over, he was ready to run with Liu Mang. He played against him twice this season. He believed that Liu Mang's offensive method against his defense was off the ball. He was very confident in his defense.
Liu Mang seized this opportunity, took a step beyond the three-point line, suddenly pulled up and shot directly!
The pain in his chest stimulated Liu Mang's nerves. Because of the pain, his mind was extremely clear. Kobe immediately reacted and rushed forward. However, the distance was a little farther away, so he could only scare Liu Mang, but he couldn't cover it at all!
The king of dry pull is triggered at level 5, ignoring the impact on the shooting rhythm, cold-blooded, and ignoring Kobe's pounce.
13 to 12, the Eagles lead by one point!
"Hey, the one holding the thighs has two thighs." Liu Mang patted his chest, which was still hurting, and turned back to defend.
The meaning is too obvious, it is to say that Malone's moving pick-and-roll just now became Kobe's thigh to score.
Obviously Kobe understood it all at once. After the angry Kobe came over, he continued to play singles. Prince defended Kobe's outside line very well. He didn't give Kobe any outside chance. Kobe could only choose to break through and press Prince to the bottom line. At this time, he suddenly stopped, and Prince was ready to block Kobe's layup. He couldn't prevent it last time. This time he was confident, but Kobe stopped, and he could only stop. At this time Kobe turned his body sideways, turned his back to the basket, and pushed towards Prince.
Prince lowered his center of gravity, trying to block Kobe's low-post singles, but Kobe suddenly retracted his action and turned over to make a jump shot...
Bryant's bottom line reflexive jumper hit hollow.
Kobe returned one!
It was the Eagles attack again. After Liu Wei passed halftime, Kobe posted it immediately. Liu Wei passed the ball directly to Stockton, and then passed Kobe by Kobe's pressing action, rushed inside, and took the opportunity to throw away Kobe took one step, Kobe was also very fast, with a speed of 92, but was thrown away by a step, a little speed difference is also a gap, was thrown away by Liu Mang, Liu Mang came out from the bottom line, Ostertag and Boozer successively gave Liu Mang was off the pick-and-roll, and when Liu Mang ran to the left corner, Stockton's pass from the pick-and-roll just arrived, and Liu Mang caught the ball and shot a three-pointer...
Return!
10 points! Liu Mang made 4 of 5 shots and scored 10 points!
16 to 14!
Two points ahead! Liu Mang began to feel the possibility of a chance to slowly open up the score.
Just then, the system prompt came!
"Ding... Kobe Bryant's time is triggered at level 4. For the rest of this quarter, Kobe Bryant feels hot."
"Ding...Stubbornness level 5 trigger, every time Kobe Bryant makes a shot, he will make the next shot, and every time Kobe Bryant misses a shot, he will make the next shot."
Finally, Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row, and finally succeeded in stimulating Kobe's hard work!
When the Lakers were on the offensive, seeing Kobe receiving the ball and continuing to single-play Prince, Liu Mang immediately threw away Devin George and chased after Kobe. But Kobe is Kobe, and he reacted very quickly. Before Liu Mang pounced, he directly chose to face Prince's defense and shoot a three-pointer...
The key is to get in!
17 to 16, Kobe did not give Liu Mang a chance to open the score!
Finally, Liu Mang also started to hit the iron, and was interfered by Kobe, who chased even tighter after scoring a three-pointer, and missed a three-pointer.
But Kobe made another mid-range shot, and the score was stretched to 3 points by the Lakers!
19 to 16!
The Eagles call a timeout here and go directly to the official timeout.
...
The tempo was too slow. It seemed that the two teams had a high score. However, they had been playing positional battles and the tempo was very slow. It was just that the two teams had high shooting efficiency.
But such a position benefits the Lakers instead.
Liu Mang played well, but everyone else was guarded to death. Liu Mang scored relatively easily because of his speed, just like when the 76ers played the Lakers. Iverson was fast and scored all by himself. It's relatively easy, but others can't. Even if it's Boozer and Stockton's pick-and-roll, because Malone is there, neither of them has any good scoring opportunities. They can only rely on Liu Wei, and it is difficult to guarantee offensive rebounds.
Originally, the current lineup was changed to counteract O'Neal's singles, but I didn't expect O'Neal to stop playing if he didn't want to play.
There is a prerequisite for Prince to be able to defend the outside line. He only needs to be responsible for the outside line defense. There is an inside line behind him who can defend the basket. It counts as a failure.
Obviously, Prince, who was scored 11 points in 5 of 7 starts by Kobe, without the help of insiders, had to defend against both shots and bursts, and there was no way to defend against Kobe.
That is to say, the lineup just now, although relying on Liu Mang to score 10 points to compete with Kobe's score, but let O'Neal in the inside rest for a small half of the game time for nothing!
Coach Kruger can only use the tactics that he used to deal with the Lakers in the regular season.
...
After the timeout, the Eagles made another large-scale rotation. Except for Liu Mang, everyone else was replaced. Barnes, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown played.
The Lakers only replaced Fisher and Devin George with Payton and Rick Fox. Except for Payton, who performed far below expectations this year, the other three giants, in the case of anxious scores, failed to win in the first quarter. Definitely fill it up.
When Zen master saw the lineup of the Eagles, he immediately became nervous. This lineup has been seen in the regular season!
Sure enough, after the game restarted, when it was time for the Lakers to attack, the Eagles started to defend the zone!
Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown began to take turns to consume O'Neal's physical energy, taking turns to defend alone, and the outside line defended at a high speed, blocking the offense of the Lakers' outside players.
Mainly, to block Kobe's offense!
Kobe still had to pass it to O'Neal, and Malone didn't want to pass it or he didn't pass it on. For the future film superstar Fox, the average playing time in this year's playoffs is less than ten minutes, and the three-point shooting rate has increased from 3% during the three consecutive championships. Seventeen's shooting percentage in the playoffs has plummeted, and he is not far from retirement. The three-point shooting percentage is only more than ten percent, let alone Payton's three-pointers. He shot 6.7% in the series. The key is that he averaged 2.5 shots per game in that series...
When Zen master changed to this lineup, he thought that the Eagles would continue to play pick-and-rolls, just a slight personnel adjustment. He didn't expect to start defending the zone defense when he said that he was defending the zone. This time it was the Lakers' turn to be caught by surprise.
No one can open up the space, so the Eagles' zone defense only needs to do three things, consume O'Neal, block the air and cut, and Kobe will pinch Payton and Devin George with the ball.
O'Neal was walking on the field just now, but he recovered some physical fitness. He came up and slammed Kwame Brown twice, and also scored in double figures in a single quarter.
As for the Eagles, the offensive end started to run!
Regardless of whether O'Neal makes it or not, the Eagles will force their speed up immediately. Kwame Brown, who was knocked to pieces by O'Neal, immediately picks up the ball and sends it to the nearest teammate. The teammate then passes to Liu Mang or Raheem, who can pass the ball Never dribbles, plays fast.
Coach Kruger made a very correct choice this time, changing the team's rhythm from extremely slow to extremely fast, and Liu Mang is obviously the biggest beneficiary!
As long as the three fastest teammates, Raheem, Barnes, and Kwame Brown, appear on both sides of him, Liu Mang throws a three-pointer after receiving the ball and asks his teammates to follow up and hit the rebound ball.
When O'Neal can score, no matter what, it can delay the Eagles' counterattack and reduce the success rate of the Eagles. Counterattack immediately after the rebound.
Fighting, when O'Neal was slowly exhausted by Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown, the Lakers' success rate began to decline, and the Eagles' counterattack success rate began to increase!
After the first quarter, the Eagles successfully overtook the Lakers again 34 to 31, ending the first quarter with a 3-point lead.
...
At the end of the intermission, the Eagles moved Rasheed Wallace to the center position, sent Muhammad to play power forward, replaced Raheem with Prince on the outside, and Barnes moved to At the power forward position, Liu Mang continued to play.
On the Lakers side, Fisher was replaced. Payton didn't play a role in front of Liu Wei, whether he was attacking or defending against counterattacks. Easy to use, Wang Zhizhi replaced Malone, Devin George replaced Rick Fox, the reason is the same, replaced with players who can open up space, O'Neal and Kobe continued to play.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Eagles had the ball.
After Liu Mang advanced to the front court, he played a pick-and-roll with Muhammad and rushed to the basket. Wang Zhizhi defended in front of Liu Mang.
Seeing two Chinese players face each other on the stage of the finals for the first time, the domestic commentary was overwhelmed, and the Chinese fans who watched the game also started to cheer.
But Liu Mang didn't give Wang Zhizhi any face, he slapped the ball from Wang Zhizhi's crotch through his crotch, and passed by Wang Zhizhi's side like lightning. Muhammad cut to catch the ball and scored two points. O'Neal couldn't defend the ball. His first reaction was to help Wang Zhizhi defend Liu Mang. When Muhammad cut to the inside, the basket was empty. one person.
When it came to the offense of the Lakers, Kobe felt that since they had replaced such teammates, he should be given a chance to single out. The triangle offense, in the OK combination, Kobe and O'Neal took turns to play one-on-one singles to attract double-teams. ball.
But what Kobe didn't expect was that as soon as he received the ball this time, Liu Mang and Prince immediately flanked him.
Kobe immediately passed to Fisher who was free, but Fisher missed the first ball!
It is not a big deal to miss an open shot, but it was used by the Eagles to make a fuss. The double-team Kobe immediately became more determined. After Wang Zhizhi came up, his outside touch was exposed, and the Eagles' zone defense against the Lakers became more determined!
When O'Neal first came up after the intermission, he had no problem hitting Rasheed Wallace one-on-one, but after a few hits, he couldn't hit anymore, and his shooting percentage began to decline, forcing Kobe to only play in the pinch. singles.
At this time, a huge problem of the Lakers was exposed, their substitutes were poor!
The highest salary of the Lakers is O'Neal, 24 million, Kobe, 13 million, Payton 4.9 million, Medvedenko 4.5 million, Rick Fox 4.6 million, Devin George 4.5 million, Fisher 3 million, others The highest salary is Malone's 1.5 million. There is no player with a salary of more than one million. Almost none of the four middle-class players can show their strength in line with this salary.
Of course, there is an OK combination. Under normal circumstances, other people don’t need to do too much, just make open shots. Anyway, the Lakers, who have won three consecutive championships, rely on the OK combination, and others can just shoot.
However, now O'Neal is 32 years old, a game is intense, and he can maintain an efficient time, only 30 minutes. When encountering the defense of the Eagles, he didn't finish halftime, and his shooting percentage dropped from the opening 5 shots. Eighty percent of the 4-for-1 shooting rate dropped to 7-for-12 at the end of the first quarter, and 9-for-16 at the end of the second quarter. Compared with the horrible efficiency at the beginning, the key is that it is difficult for the role players to make shots, and the offensive efficiency continues to decline.
As for the Eagles, they have long been used to a certain player's relatively inefficient style of play. It doesn't matter if their shooting percentage drops. Being consumed and beaten, one was flanked, and the more he was beaten, the more anxious he became.
...
In the middle of the second quarter, the Eagles gradually began to take a clear lead, leading 46 to 39 by 7 points. It is not unacceptable for the Lakers to score 8 points in 6 minutes, but the Eagles took the lead in 6 minutes. It's 12 points! Although not high, it is much higher than the Lakers! The Eagles, who have long been accustomed to this kind of low-efficiency play, are not in a big hurry, and the bigger the Lakers are, the more anxious they are.
It was the Lakers offense again. Seeing Kobe coming, Liu Mang immediately went up and flanked Kobe with Prince. The Lakers had changed players on the perimeter several times. Except for Malone, who played the first quarter, almost everyone who could play was changed. It was useless, Liu Mang and Prince's attack on Kobe became more and more decisive.
As soon as Kobe received the ball, he was flanked by Liu Mang and Prince. He became anxious and became angry. He swung his elbow towards Liu Mang who was about to stick to him for defense. Liu Mang didn't expect that the little blacksmith's elbow was towards his His face flew over, he blocked it with his hand, and fell to the ground very simply.
Your uncle! You don't know if you beat someone in the face!
Liu Mang got up and rushed towards Kobe. Prince calmly hugged Liu Mang and stood between Liu Mang and Kobe.
The referee looked at Liu Mang who got up and was about to charge towards Kobe, and immediately gave Kobe an offensive foul and added a technical foul.
This ball is really not what Liu Mang wanted to play, and the little blacksmith who has become more and more proficient in iron elbows, who obviously has no expression on his face, suddenly gives an elbow, who can react? Since he couldn't avoid it, he just fell down.
Fortunately, he used his arm to block it just now. Seeing that his arm was red, he must have been beaten blue. Liu Mang secretly yelled. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. If he was hit in the face, how could his handsome face be preserved?
Liu Mang got a free throw for a technical foul and went to the free throw line, and there was still an opportunity to attack in a while, so he immediately put away his fighting posture and walked to the frontcourt to prepare for a free throw.
Originally, Kobe felt a little wrong with his malicious elbow swing, but when he saw Liu Mang walking to the free throw line like a face-changing face, he instantly felt that the elbow just now was too light!
Liu Mang made a free throw for a technical foul, 47 to 39, and the Eagles led by 8 points!
For the next goal, Liu Mang saw that it was only two points away, and he believed that he must score this goal to establish a clearer lead.
Coach Kruger also had the same idea as Liu Mang. Taking advantage of the dead ball, he replaced Liu Mang with a lineup of Stockton, Boozer, Raheem, and Kwame Brown.
This lineup is a little weak defensively, but very good offensively.
The Lakers also took advantage of this to replace Payton and Malone, and the lineup of Kobe, Devin Brown, and O'Neal remained on the court.
The Eagles made a sideline kick, and after Stockton advanced, he beckoned to continue to pick and roll with Boozer.
Obviously, the pick-and-roll action is required. The Lakers' defensive attention is all on Liu Mang, Stockton, and Boozer. German-Brown chased towards Liu Mang, and after Kobe was blocked by Boozer, he and Payton caught Liu Mang together.
An off-ball player who is being chased by three people, Liu Mang is the most respectable off-ball player.
But Stockton's obvious pick-and-roll action is to use the cooperation of the pick-and-roll trio to attract the defense. Stockton himself attracted Malone away, Boozer was blocked by Kobe, and Liu Mang was blocked. Devin George and Payton blocked the middle distance on the left and were temporarily unable to catch the ball. Forget about Kwame Brown, he stood next to O'Neal like a child.
However, Raheem is empty!
Just when Liu Mang was blocked by Peyton and Devon George, the ball had already flown to their side and into the hands of Raheem!
Raheem was not surprised. This was Stockton's pass, and he rushed to the inside immediately after receiving the ball.
The ball flew over the heads of Payton, Kobe, and Devin George. Kobe and Payton knew that it was best to block the person they were blocking at this time, and they could not make the already torn defense worse. Broken, but Devon George didn't realize that, and immediately made up for Raheem.
Raheem received the ball and rushed to the basket. Seeing that both Devin George and O'Neal were defending, he knew that he had no chance and wanted to pass to Kwame Brown, but O'Neal was too big. Sim's line of sight was blocked, and O'Neal's deterrence at the basket was indeed strong. Raheem was about to step on the left side of the three-second zone to make a strong shot, and because he was worried about Devin George's back defense, he did not dare to shoot. About to throw the top arc to Stockton, suddenly saw a figure, Rahim immediately threw the ball into the air.
O'Neill looked at the unreasonable throw, and secretly screamed that it was not good. He turned his head and saw that a big No. 1 was already stuck on his face!
The scene was full of exclamations, but Liu Mang actually detained O'Neill!
After landing, Liu Mang turned around and ran away. After Devon George went to chase Raheem, Liu Mang was liberated! Not being flanked, Liu Mang accelerated and circled to the free throw line to get rid of Payton's defense, and inserted into the basket from the middle. Rahim's pass was bold this time. Liu Mang thought it was a pass to him and he threw the ball. Shooting or layup or something, I didn't expect Raheem to come up with an alley-oop. Liu Mang was excited at that time, and he couldn't care so much. A dunk came from O'Neal! And it's still empty-handed!
Liu Mang yelled at O'Neill while turning around and running: "Shaq, your little brother hit me with a black elbow just now, you are his boss, this dunk is considered to be you helping your little brother pay off his debt!"
O'Neill was in a rage and was about to fight, but when he heard Liu Mang's words, he immediately became happy.
As for Kobe's side, the whole person exploded: That bastard actually said that he is O'Neill's younger brother!
Kobe's idea of being the boss is like Sima Zhao's heart-everyone knows!
Kobe, who was tortured enough by the Eagles' defense, can no longer control so much!
