Chapter 766
Stockton scored ten points in a row!
The Chinese narrator shouted that veterans will not die, and the American narrator was more direct. Now the tired Barkley called out to hell.
There is always one of Stockton and Malone who will win the championship. The one who hurts the most is not the loser of the two. No matter who loses, Stockton and Malone will sincerely congratulate each other. Only Barkley is the saddest. Went to warm up with Baylor, the general manager of the Clippers.
The most surprising thing, of course, is the nine players who played on the spot. The difference is that the morale of the Eagles has soared. Stockton has scored 10 points in a row, while the Lakers are in chaos, 31 to 44 , They are 13 points behind!
Maybe the young players now think that Stockton is just good at passing the ball, and the season with the highest scoring average is only 17 points per game, and they don't take his personal offense seriously.
But the core lineup of the Lakers is dominated by veterans. Kobe has fought against Jordan and the peak Shuangsha. He is too impressed with Stockton's perennial 50+ shooting rate and 40+ three-point shooting rate. The person who feels the most about Stockton's shooting ability has been with him for 18 years after all.
If it weren't for Stockton's free throw percentage that made O'Neal cry "only" in the early 80s, he might be a regular visitor to the 180 club, and even if free throw percentage has always been his "weakness", Stoke Dunton also entered the 180 club once with a single-season shooting percentage of 52+44+84.
It was such a middle-aged man who was delayed by free throws. He scored 10 points in a row for more than three minutes in the second quarter, beat the opponent 10 to 3 with one hand, and opened the point difference to 13 points. The defense is starting to be chaotic!
Stockton is burning his last combat power every second, trying his best to help his teammates defend, and then start to pass the ball after he plays a threat on the offensive end. I have to say that Stockton is Stockton, when he fights hard When playing with all his strength, the offensive organization is much stronger than Liu Mang. Liu Mang's passing is accurate, which may not be worse than Stockton's accuracy. His last energy opened the eyes of Liu Mang on the sidelines!
On the Lakers side, it was like triggering the dominoes, one ring after another, and gradually collapsed. Even though the current lineup of the Eagles, the Lakers' scoring efficiency began to improve, but they couldn't do it like Stockton Gaboozer. Mobilize the whole team like a combination!
The point difference was slowly widening, and by the end of halftime, the Eagles had already led the Lakers by 18 points 57 to 39!
...
"Keep our current state, John, you have done a great job! The rest of us must work hard, for the championship..." Coach Kruger started the link of mobilizing enthusiasm that he is not good at.
Stockton scored 15 points in a single quarter, shot 5 of 7 shots, and made 3 of 5 free throws. He was against the sky, and he also had 5 assists in a single quarter. Mang's half-dead look when organizing the offense, having a good organization core is too important for a team. The Eagles played the ball in the second quarter with a moving feeling and scored 33 points in a single quarter!
Liu Mang, who only scored 4 points in the first half, mainly because he had no chance to play in the second quarter, was surprised to see Stockton's performance. Today, Stockton's state is so good, with 18 points Poor, as long as the situation is stabilized and the last fighting spirit of the Lakers is wiped out, it may not be long before the third quarter, and the Lakers themselves will collapse.
Liu Mang knew that he had to rely on himself to stabilize the lead that Stockton had worked so hard to create.
Can't let the Lakers have a little chance of a comeback, the OK combination... can't give them any chance! Stockton worked his ass off, 15+5 in a single quarter in the finals. This is a performance that Stockton and Jordan have never played in the finals! When I saw Stockton smiling tiredly, the tattoo on his forehead was full of unstoppable sweat...
Liu Mang can't live up to the advantage created by Stockton's hard work!
Liu Mang has prepared a star card for a long time, and now it's time to use it!
During the halftime break, the Eagles are mainly mobilizing the enthusiasm of the players for the next half of the game. Now for the Eagles, maintaining concentration on the field is the most important thing, and they cannot be careless just because the championship is in front of them.
The intermission time passed quickly, and the league staff came to notify the Eagles players to enter the field.
Before entering the player tunnel, Liu Mang said to the system: "Boss of the system, use the Iverson star card."
"Ding... The host uses the Allen Iverson 2000-2001 version of the star card, the ability rating is 97, the offense is 99, the defense is 82, the three-pointer is 70, the mid-range shot is 90, the layup is 85... the speed is 97, the burst speed is 100... The fit is 80%...the bonus is being calculated..."
"Ding... After the host used the Allen Iverson 2000-2001 version of the star card, the CIC increased to 87, the speed increased to 95, the explosive speed increased to 98, the ability evaluation was 92, the three-pointer was 88, and the CIC was 87. Layup 90...Temporary feature: Lone Wolf level 4, the host's desire to pass the ball on the offensive end has dropped significantly..."
"Hey!" Liu Mang looked at the degree of fit, and couldn't help but slander: I'm a fan of irregular percussion music, so the degree of fit with Xiaoye is so high? However, Iverson's ability to finish layups is really eye-catching... he is still too short, and his shooting percentage at the basket is only about 50%. It also deprived him of his ability to finish under the basket, but the mid-range shot is really good...
But now Iverson doesn't have to be ridiculed to assist the cap, and has a successor that he can't match...
Not only this matter, Liu Mang didn't care at all. In the third quarter, the Eagles pointed at him to score to hold back the possible counterattack of the Lakers!
Just to be alone!
...
...
Players from both teams returned to the field.
For the Eagles, the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff played.
On the Lakers side, the Big Four and Fisher's lineup are on the field, and they have reached the most dangerous point!
"Ding... OK trigger, from Kobe Bryant and Shaq O'Neal."
Here we go again, these two guys, Liu Mang is inexplicably angry this time!
"Ding... The Lone Wolf triggers at level 4, and the host generates strong anger against all unfavorable factors. The deeper the anger, the lower the desire to pass the ball and the stronger the desire to shoot."
Liu Mang understood the reason for this inexplicable feeling of anger, but knowing the reason, he still couldn't control the anger.
At this time, the OK team finally put aside their prejudices and wanted to win together.
However, when the second half of the game started, the OK team and Fisher, the three Lakers players, saw the arrogant expression on Liu Mang's face, and the unruly eyes, so similar!
So much like the guy from three years ago! The guy who prevented them from winning the championship! The guy who made them pissed off with four straight Finals wins.
But now Liu Mang is also very angry, inexplicable anger, even the cold-blooded characteristic can't be suppressed, a bunch of thoughts are lingering in Liu Mang's head now-losing a finals, not being happy that he can't win the championship! Displeased with the OK combination! Throw them to death!
Peak Iverson, compared to Iverson in the past two years, has a more surly personality! Liu Mang's surly behavior after being affected is far less than that of Iverson at that time.
Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and saw that because Jason Terry and Prince were relatively accurate today, and only Kobe was defending himself, Liu Mang started from the center line and dribbled the ball under the waist and crotch.
Seeing the expression "I don't like you, I'm the MVP" written all over Liu Mang's face, Kobe thought that three years ago, there was a nasty guy who had exactly the same expression as Liu Mang now!
The string in Kobe's head broke at once. He could not control his emotions because he only scored 10 points in 4 of 13 in the first half, but because of the pressure of losing the finals, now, the final That string broke!
Kobe rushed towards Liu Mang, what Liu Mang was waiting for was now! First, there was a big change of direction. Kobe had a very good defensive awareness. While blocking him, he also guarded against Liu Mang's change of direction.
However, being prepared does not mean that you can prevent it! Liu Mang stepped out in the second step, the steps were exaggerated!
Wear flowers and butterfly steps!
The butterfly walk that Iverson relies on for survival!
The moment Liu Mang changed direction drastically and landed on his right foot, his body rushed past Kobe's defense like an arrow, leaving Kobe behind!
too fast!
It was too late for Malone to make up the defense. O'Neill saw that Liu Mang was in front of him all of a sudden, and it was too late to block the block, so he had to choose to foul, but when Liu Mang jumped up, his left hand and the left foot that took off were on the same hand and the same foot. , The ball has been thrown out!
O'Neal right-clicked on Liu Mang, completely misjudged, Liu Mang scored two points with his left hand layup, and also caused O'Neal to foul!
2+1!
Liu Mang came up and widened the point difference to 20 points, 59 to 39, and there were free throws!
Iverson's flower-piercing butterfly step is not famous for his explosive speed. His speed explodes after he has passed his opponent. His change of direction can be learned by ordinary people. Of course, he does not have his explosive speed , It can only be used for good looks. Not everyone can be like him. After such a large change of direction, he can immediately rush to the inside line at such a speed. Ordinary people have learned to wear butterfly steps and accelerate after changing directions. At that time, the other party had already followed.
Liu Mang used Iverson's star card once before, and copied it to Iverson's step layup action pack, and deliberately practiced Iverson's flower-crossing butterfly step. The most familiar method of attack is this style of play!
And Liu Mang didn't have any explosive speed originally, he just started fast and could quickly reach his original top speed of 94, but after using the Iverson star card, no one in the Lakers team could accelerate after changing directions. keep up!
After Liu Mang made an extra free throw, Kobe began to lose control of his emotions!
"Ding... the end of the OK trend, from Kobe Bryant."
Before O and K had time to work together, Kobe had given up on the idea of working together!
...
After Liu Mang came up in the third quarter, he scored 14 points in 10 minutes, and his efficiency was mediocre, because Kobe and Fisher on the Lakers frantically led him to defend. At this moment, Fisher chose to help Kobe Let's die together.
However, when Liu Mang's teammates were really tired, Jason Terry and Prince often had vacancies, but Liu Mang rushed in to hit the iron and didn't pass. He was simply Kobe's second...
However, as O'Neal ran back and forth, his physical energy was exhausted, and Kobe began to stand alone again, it seemed that he was going to compete with Liu Mang who was better at fighting iron. I don’t even bother to reach out, except to prevent Liu Mang from going in and dunking, I don’t care about anything else. Ratliff and Rasheed Wallace, who played together with Liu Mang, grabbed rebounds and grabbed the rebounds. Wait until Liu Mang’s star card expires. At the end of the game, the Eagles scored 24-16 in ten minutes.
The point difference was widened to 81 to 55, a point difference of 26 points!
This time Liu Mang took the initiative to call a timeout, because that surly mood finally disappeared.
In 10 minutes, he made 4 of 11 shots and scored 14 points. There are two minutes left in the third quarter. Looking at his stats of 18 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists on 6 of 16 shots, Liu Mang really wants to cry... How hard is this? ah!
The only thing Liu Mang was lucky about was that there was a little blacksmith on the opposite side, and he made 7 of 21 shots in three quarters. Fortunately, there was a bottom.
Moreover, with a difference of 26 points, the victory is set!
...
Just as Liu Mang expected, after he called a timeout, Zen Master also gave up and stopped struggling.
The Big Four of the Lakers were collectively placed on the bench. They watched the game, but no one spoke. They were probably considering their options for the summer. Kobe, O'Neal, and Payton only had one year left on their contracts. Malone was a free agent. The first three applied. In terms of trading, the Lakers have to carefully weigh how to make a choice.
For the Hawks, in the fourth quarter, Stockton, who had regained a little strength, was sent up to let him finish the last time of the last game. Barnes and Muhammad also went up. Their finals They didn't play for a long time, mainly because of their strength. They were pretty good when they played in the Eastern Conference playoffs, but if they played against the Lakers in the Finals, they might be dragged down.
Barnes, Muhammad played with Stockton, Jason Terry, and Kwame Brown in the last quarter of the game. There was no defense on both sides. Stockton deliberately used long passes With the increased speed, the players of the two teams began to run to collect points.
There was no accident in the final result. The 20-point difference was maintained until the end. The Eagles defeated the Lakers 106-87. Although the Lakers scored 32 points in the final quarter, it did not affect the ending.
The Eagles defeated the Lakers 4-1 and won the championship again after 48 years! It is also the first time the Eagles have won a championship after moving to Atlanta 36 years ago!
...
...
After the game, the Lakers fans left one after another, and the Lakers players also left, leaving only the Eagles players, a group of watching fans, fans from Atlanta and Salt Lake City, and the Chinese who came to see Liu Mang , Asian fans.
The Eagles were interviewed and interviewed, cheered and cheered, and tears were shed...
Stockton looked at the 4-1 score on the big screen, and saw the Eagles with "win" written behind their team name, crying...
More than ten minutes later, the voting for the championship MVP was over. David Stern and Bill Russell were almost laughing when they came out together. In North America, more than 41 million live broadcasts were sold, and more than 34 million in the United States. Ten thousand copies of the live broadcast were sold, breaking the number of viewers in the fifth game of the 1998 finals!
However, due to the increase in population, the ratings are actually lower, but they have reached 20%. Compared with the situation where the ratings were sometimes less than 10% in the past two years, David Stern Have fun!
Moreover, according to the news from the NBA office in China, almost 200 million people in China have watched the game. Although China's live broadcast of the NBA does not make money, what they want is influence!
Bill Russell also laughed, anyone can win the championship, except the Lakers! In the past 20 years, he has presented awards to the Lakers 8 times, and every time he smiled and scolded XXX in his heart...
With the sparse fans at the scene, David Stern felt as excited as he was facing 100,000 people in the Rose Bowl: "Ladies and gentlemen, the NBA championship team was born in the 2003-2004 season, and they are from Atlanta. The Eagles..."
David Stern picked up the O'Brien Cup from a tray held by a beautiful hostess wearing a cheongsam to cater to the appetite of Chinese fans, and was about to present it to the Eagles.
However, on the Hawks side, no one stepped forward.
"..." The Eagles players looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't expect such a situation to happen.
In the end, everyone turned their attention to Liu Mang, and then Liu Mang remembered that he was the boss... It would have been better if he had taken this step earlier, but it would be embarrassing to go out now!
Liu Mang suddenly saw Stockton, whose eyes were still red, and came up with an idea: "John, you go! Without you, we can't win this championship."
Stockton was taken aback for a moment, and readily accepted Liu Mang's humility. Although Liu Mang was not that kind of person based on his understanding of Liu Mang, but now he is happy and thinks so.
David Stern was embarrassed holding the trophy for a long time, but seeing Stockton, who also had white hair on his head, immediately felt a little more friendly.
"Congratulations, John, the dream has finally come true after 20 years." After David Stern handed the trophy to Stockton, he hugged Stockton and said.
Afterwards, the Eagles players took turns to receive the O'Brien Cup. When Liu Mang was the last one to get it, he saw that someone on the cup was still spitting, and he was in a bad mood.
After the championship trophy was awarded, it was FMVP. David Stern continued to say passionately: "Ladies and gentlemen, the most valuable player winner of the NBA Finals in the 2003-2004 season is... liumang..."
It's an accent that makes Liu Mang feel very painful. If you can't read Chinese, don't read it! David Stern pronounced Liu Mang's name, which was the same as that of a hooligan, but what else could Liu Mang do? He is the president of the alliance, the biggest boss...
After speaking, David Stern took the Bill Russell cup from the tray held by the hostess, handed it to Bill Russell, and bowed slightly to show respect.
The FMVP has no suspense. Liu Mang is the scoring leader in the entire finals. He scored a total of 157 points, averaging 31.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game. When it fell below 40%, it barely maintained its dignity.
For the others, although Raheem's average of 13 points and 12 rebounds per game is good, there is still a gap between Liu Mang's role. Jason Terry averaged 11 points per game, Kwame Brown averaged 13 points and 8 rebounds per game, Kwame -Brown has a reputation as a top player in China. After being abused like O'Neal, he is still so aggressive. His head is really strong. Others average less than 10 points per game.
In front of the sparse fans and flashing lights, Liu Mang took over the Bill Russell Cup from Bill Russell. At this moment, Liu Mang was unexpectedly calm about the championship.
The championship has been won, that is to say, the championship is already a thing of the past, and the next is a new beginning. I can't think about the strength of this season until next season, and I can't have the current strength until next season. Liu Mang Now I really want to devote myself to training immediately and integrate what I have learned in this finals into my own abilities.
Liu Mang wants to become stronger! Get stronger!
Human desire is like an endless abyss under a cliff. When the desire starts to roll and slide down the cliff, the power contained in it will only roll bigger and bigger, and can no longer stop.
Unless it's having everything to begin with!
But in the sports world, there is no such thing as having everything from the beginning, and the honor and desire that anyone has at the beginning is from scratch.
So, after touching honor, everything becomes so hard to give up, just like an addict who smells what he desires, that kind of obsession with honor, Liu Mang became addicted the first time he came into contact with it...
...
Ask for a monthly pass~ Win the championship~ Ask for a monthly pass~ Stay second for a few more days! For Xiaofeng, the second and third are still very different. The monthly ticket bonus is almost twice as much. important!
The new season is about to start. I don’t know that Xiaofeng has laid out so many things. How many friends can guess how the offseason will be played! Now it's time for the little hooligans to attack the big hooligans!
