Chapter 759 758. Challenge the Staples Center! (Seek Monthly Ticket for Subscription)

After breakfast, Liu Mang looked at the calendar on the desk. During the breakfast time, the hotel staff had turned it to the latest day, June 11th, which was the day of the competition.

Liu Mang sighed, it would be great if he could rest for a few more days!

Liu Mang already has a little bit of skill in transitioning between the elbow area's face frame and back frame singles, that is, one of the singles skills at the mid-range position on both sides of the three-second zone where Kobe is best at scoring. I feel it, but there is not enough time, and I have found a way to train, but there is no way to exchange this into strength immediately.

Just like last season's Eastern Conference finals, after Liu Mang used Jordan's star card for his rookie season, his one-on-one breakthrough rhythm and the use of his body gave him a good training direction, and he got Marbury After the action package of probing and breaking through, his breakthrough is not only based on speed as before, but even after his left hand can be used as his dominant hand, he has a very good development direction. -The Kobe Bryant star card in the 2000 season is almost the same as the rookie Jordan, from strength to technical movements, all the same... Liu Mang complained for a long time after the game ended that day.

However, in the 2003-04 season, Kobe, except for the back play, was a bit average. The back play was mainly to get the space for face-up singles, but most of the skills, Kobe in this season and Kobe in the 99-00 season In comparison, it can be described as metamorphosis.

Kobe Bryant's 2003-04 season star card left Liu Mang the deepest feeling, that is, the right-handed ball in the two elbow areas, one-on-one is almost impossible to solve!

He can even follow that feeling and practice the left-handed attack together. The only pity is that due to the lack of time, Liu Mang can't immediately transform the feeling he got from Kobe's star card into strength. Pity.

Tonight, the third game of the finals was about to start. Liu Mang took a rest for a while, waiting for the food in his stomach to digest some, and then, accompanied by the hotel security, ran two laps in Beverly Hills.

Since he stayed in the hotel for the past two days, there are outdoor courts, conference rooms, and everything else, Liu Mang has never left the hotel area, and he spends most of his time practicing with Prince, occasionally pulling A desperate Kwame Brown plays games together.

During the finals, the Eagles banned players from leaving Beverly Hills. First, it was a safety issue. Second, it was a reproductive safety issue. Not far from here is Hollywood, and there are 18-tier starlets on the west side of Hollywood Gathering nightclubs, occasionally there are second- and third-tier female stars who want to come here to catch big fish. God knows what these guys with well-developed lower limbs will do, so the coaching staff stipulates that the longest stay in Los Angeles may reach 8 days During the time, except for the team taking them to play games, the scope of activities was in Beverly Hills.

Only then did Liu Mang know why when he first checked in, when the hotel waiter asked him to leave the hotel, he called the front desk and sent someone to monitor him, which can be regarded as protection. Although Beverly Hills is a private area, there are also Hotels, people who come to buy houses, etc. are not particularly safe factors.

Liu Mang ran two laps back to the hotel at a relatively fast speed. Beverly Hills said it was a villa, but it was exaggeratedly large. After asking, it actually covers an area of ​​15 square kilometers... Liu Mang leaves at 8:00 I ran, ran two laps, and when I got back to the hotel, it was already ten past nine, and it took almost an hour.

Seeing the exhausted security guard behind him, Liu Mang couldn't help laughing and boarded the passenger battery car, went back to his room to take a shower, there was a team meeting at ten o'clock, he didn't expect it would take so long to run two laps.

Moreover, Liu Mang thought that he would run into someone on the road, but it turned out to be deserted, and the quietness was very quiet. Liu Mang felt that it was quieter than the vacation villa he bought, which may have something to do with the All-Star Weekend at that time. The other holiday villas are quite noisy.

Looking at Liu Mang who left with a big smile, the waitress at the front desk was left in a cold sweat. These NBA players all have some quirks of one kind or another!

Obviously, Liu Mang ran fast on purpose, trying to exhaust the security guard, and then succeeded, smiling proudly and leaving.

...

Main defense.

Liu Mang looked at Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson's core grand strategy for tonight's game. There was nothing wrong with it. It was a very safe tactical strategy. It was already 2-0, and they came to the away game again. The opponent must swear to defend the first A home game to avoid falling behind 0 to 3, because no team has yet completed a comeback when falling behind 0 to 3.

For the Hawks, although the coaching staff also wanted to crush the Lakers directly, making the score 3-0 and securing the Finals victory, it was too difficult. In Game 3 of the 2002 Finals, the Lakers were stronger than the Nets. The team is so strong, but they were forced to the last minute by the Nets, and they were still behind by three points. In the end, O'Neal made a 2+1 penalty with a first-level dunk. Kobe's strong three-pointer hit the score After overtaking by three points, the Lakers came back and defeated the Nets 106-103, and scored a big score of 3-0, making the championship completely lost suspense.

For the Eagles, the coaching staff is unanimously seeking stability, and the tactical ideas are in line with the players' expectations. The training content of the past two days is to counteract the overwhelming style of play of the Lakers in the previous two games. The players probably guessed the tactical strategy of the third finals.

After the team meeting, Liu Mang originally wanted to go to Prince to train together, but coach Kruger came to him with a child.

"Brother Ace, long time no see." Little Jimmy came to Liu Mang with a box in his arms.

"Oh, it's little Jimmy, long time no see, why are you here? The coach can break the team rules and take care of his family?" Liu Mang asked in surprise, "Aren't you training with a freshman from Georgia Tech's high school? Huh? , Little Jimmy, you have grown a lot taller! Are you one meter eight?"

Coach Kruger heard this and wanted to clean up the door again.

Little Jimmy was afraid of causing trouble to Coach Kruger when he heard what Liu Mang said, so he hurriedly said, "No, Dad didn't violate the team rules. The training place for me and the seniors was originally in Los Angeles. By the way, I'm 1.7 meters tall. Nine!"

Although Coach Kruger didn't specifically ask Jimmy to call him dad, but as Jimmy felt the warmth of the family for the first time, over time, he called him out naturally.

But Jimmy Butler is really amazing. He has perfect training, better nutrition supply, and a warmer family earlier than before. He showed his basketball talent early and became the dazzling player in Atlanta's junior high school league. Nova, even overshadowed the light of Stockton's son.

Many high schools want to recruit him, but playing basketball is very important, as well as academics. San Marino High School in Southern California has become Coach Kruger's favorite choice. The school not only produced many sports stars, but also has a good cultural education. It is one of the best high schools in one of the best school districts in Southern California, and the basketball team of San Marino High School is also the dominant team in the Southern California High School League. Going there is a great thing for Jimmy Butler things.

He is less than 15 years old, 1.79 meters, and Liu Wei knows that this guy will grow to more than 2 meters in the future. Liu Wei really wants to ask, do all Americans eat feed? It has grown more than 20 to 30 centimeters in a year, hell!

"That's right, you're going to come to Los Angeles to study high school. By the way, you have to be careful. Don't go to the Lakers game if you have nothing to do, so as not to fail your studies." Thinking of this, Liu Mang urged.

"Why can't we watch the Lakers game?" Little Jimmy asked in surprise, "Because they are our opponents?"

Liu Mang thought for a while and said: "Well... Although he is our opponent, this is not the point. The point is that their team has an evil player wearing the No. 8 jersey. He has an evil witchcraft and will put you These post-90s have turned into blacksmithing enthusiasts... You don't know what post-90s are? People born after 1990... Uh, you were born in 1989? It's almost the same, he will let you people follow Learn how to forge... What does it mean to forge? You don’t need to know, it’s not a good thing, so when you’re in high school here, don’t go to the Lakers games unless we come to play. Contribute the ticket money, I will ask you for tickets when we come to the game, they won’t torture them to death for me... By the way, little Jimmy, what are you doing here today? Don’t you need to practice?”

Little Jimmy was so dizzy by Liu Reck's words, so he just remembered not to watch the Lakers game. Hearing Liu Reck's last question, Little Jimmy replied: "Today we are going to play the third finals. I’m here to cheer for everyone, we will definitely win the championship this year!”

"Oh, then go cheer on the other brothers, I'm going to train." Liu Mang patted Jimmy on the head, maybe he won't be able to take pictures in two years, this guy will be taller than him in the future, thinking This time, Liu Mang couldn't help but touch in the imperial style.

"..." Doesn't this follow the routine? Anyway, let's chat for a while, and suddenly the lively chat ended. Coach Kruger couldn't understand Liu Mang's brain circuit!

Coach Kruger secretly kicked little Jimmy's leg.

Only then did Little Jimmy remember his mission, he pulled Liu Mang who was about to leave and said, "Brother Ace, can you play games with me for a while, I have the latest game disk here, let's play together?"

"No..."

Just as Liu Mang was about to refuse, he was interrupted.

"Ace, you can play with little Jimmy for a while. There will be a game tonight. Let Tyshawn rest. He doesn't have as good physical strength as you." Coach Kruger could only say clearly.

"..." Liu Reck thought that Prince and himself had been exhausted for the past two days. Thanks to his youth and strong recovery ability, Liu Reck healed Prince's minor injuries so that he could remain Lively, Liu Mang had no choice but to give up when he thought of the game tonight.

This hateful coach actually treats the young master as a troublesome matter! Liu Mang showed a vicious expression to Little Jimmy and said, "Okay, Little Jimmy, if the game is not fun, you can train with me!"

Who knew that Little Jimmy wasn't afraid at all, and when he heard that he could train with Liu Wei, he said excitedly: "Really? Brother Ace, let's go to train... Ouch... No, Brother Ace, let's go play games ..."

Little Jimmy was kicked again by an increasingly insidious head coach, and the last half of the sentence made him feel aggrieved.

Liu Mang shrugged. He also understood that one day would not allow him to learn the skills he wanted to master. He was just in a hurry, but now he couldn't be in a hurry. The coach used his son as a weapon. Empty your head and play games to relieve your nervousness.

...

...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Eagles entered the Staples Center, over the Staples Center, there were already aerial photography helicopters of many TV stations from the United States, Canada, Mexico and other North American countries with offices in Los Angeles. circled.

The treatment in Los Angeles is good. When the Eagles played the finals at home, they didn't have this kind of treatment at all. The only team that can compete with the Lakers in the finals is probably only the New York team.

Although the Lakers lost the first two games, they lost on the road. In addition, the Lakers were able to suppress the Eagles in both games. It was caused by calmness. In the first game, O'Neal wanted to prove himself too much, which led to the score that was supposed to be overtaken. In the first quarter of the game, they were still making strong shots at the last critical moment, and the Lakers had a relatively obvious advantage in the scene before, and they were leading the score. Therefore, Kobe was almost to blame for the Lakers' loss in the second game.

But precisely because of this, even though the Lakers have lost two games in a row, many fans still have confidence in the Lakers.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles, taking advantage of the home court, if Kobe was a little clearer, the Lakers had a great chance of holding the home court!

Moreover, the Lakers have three consecutive home games. Los Angeles fans still think that the Lakers can win the championship, and most of the media are also very optimistic about the Lakers.

...

At six o'clock in the evening, players from both teams entered the field.

As the last starter of the visiting team, Liu Mang received wild boos.

Liu Mang is used to this. From the first time he came to the Staples Center to play a game, the boos began to accompany him.

Moreover, Liu Mang smiled smugly when he saw the undisguised jealousy when the first player walked out from the opposite side looked at him...

But seeing those people on the sidelines, Liu Mang probably knew why after moving from the Lakers to Los Angeles, except for Jordan and Russell, all other superstars of the era joined the Lakers at a certain stage in their careers.

Hollywood superstars, sports superstars, political stars, famous scholars, scientists who won the Nobel Prize... The second- and third-tier stars have no chance of getting tickets at all. They are all one of the most powerful figures in various industries in the world. The card is probably the terminator who retired from politics and the new governor of California-Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This...Although he was defamed when he was a fan, but when he was a player, he met so many celebrities who came to watch him play. Liu Mang still felt very excited, and even a little envious...The little blacksmith is so hateful! Fuck him!

Just when Liu Mang forcibly put his hatred on his opponent, the people from the TV station asked him to greet and take photos with those celebrities, which is also part of the basketball game.

The reason why today's game at 6:30 was entered at 6:00 is because there are activities in this area.

Finally, at half past six in the evening, the game between the Eagles and the Lakers was about to start.

The Eagles are very excited. They have done their best to prepare for this game. If they can win, they will basically lock the championship!

If you have this chance, why not fight for it.

The Eagles were going to use defense to deal with the Lakers in the third game because the Lakers gave people the usual impression that they played offensive basketball. The Lakers averaged more than 105 points per game in the Finals for three consecutive years. None of the Bulls have accomplished anything.

The Eagles are fully prepared, ready to meet the crazy offense of the Lakers, and even prepared for the offense led by the OK combination who played well and was ready to face Kobe Bryant's reasonable play.

However, unexpectedly, the Lakers' side was beyond the Eagles' expectations from the very beginning of the game!

There are two more chapters tonight~ Maybe the next chapter will be around 12 o'clock, good night to those who go to bed early~
