Chapter 831 830. The Whole Stadium Became Ugly

The first No. 1 high school draft pick in history and the third No. 1 high school draft pick in history are about to face off again!

Liu Mang was surprised to see that Howard did not flinch because of the atmosphere on the scene. As a rookie, Liu Mang clearly saw Jameer Nelson's nervousness.

He was still a little bit angry!

Liu Mang shouted to the center circle: "Kwame, give the No. 1 draft pick on the other side a good beating today!"

Kwame Brown turned his head and nodded to Liu Mang. Liu Mang didn't need to say more, he would do the same. The two were only less than three years apart, and they might be each other's rivals in the future. They were both No. 1 high school draft picks, and they were both so talented. The key was that the guy on the other side was treated as the core of the inside line from the beginning, which made Kwame Brown jealous.

Howard was very angry when he heard Liu Mang's words, but he also felt hurt: "Why are you targeting me?"

If Liu Mang knew Howard's thoughts, he could only tell Happy Beast one sentence: "You will be too powerful in the future, you have to suppress it early, otherwise it will be troublesome in the future."

The starting lineup of the Hawks is still Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The starting lineup of the Magic has changed compared to the opening game. Nelson is still the point guard, the shooting guard has become the former Kings player Doug Christie, Hill returned to the small forward position, Rahim played the power forward, and Howard was the center.

The referee selected the ball, came to the court, saw that both sides were in the right position, came to the center circle, blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air.

Howard and Kwame Brown jumped at full speed at the same time, and the height of their palms was almost the same, but Howard took advantage of his longer fingers to touch the ball first and point the ball to the back.

Kwame Brown failed to jump for two consecutive games!

This is very rare. His only advantage in the Wizards was his invincibility in jump balls.

However, Kwame Brown was not frustrated. He immediately called on his teammates to retreat and quickly returned to the basket.

The Magic attacked first. Nelson received the ball and pushed forward. Liu Mang blocked the midline. Nelson was not as confident as he was at the beginning of the season. He immediately passed the ball to Hill.

Liu Mang was not in a hurry to not steal the ball. He immediately retreated to the three-point line and saw Hill approaching Prince. Hill squeezed Prince and took two steps. Prince pressed him to one step inside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle. Hill turned around and leaned against Prince.

High post back!

These old-generation players are troublesome. They all have such good skills!

Liu Mang immediately double-teamed Hill. Sure enough, Hill turned around with a fake move and then turned around and passed by Prince! Even Prince had no good way to deal with Hill's high post back who had found his form. At this time, Liu Mang double-teamed Hill with Prince. Hill immediately passed the ball to Jamison who was empty at the top of the arc.

Liu Mang deliberately let Jamison go. Liu Mang had studied this guy. He had taken 30 three-point shots since the start of the game, but only hit 9 of them. He missed a lot. When he saw Jamison receiving the ball and making a shooting motion, Liu Mang quickly rushed over.

Sure enough, when Liu Mang rushed over, he saw Jamison's hands shaking. He wanted to adjust slowly, but was afraid of being blocked, so he threw it out quickly.

When the ball flew out, it was very off-center and hit the right side of the basket decisively and bounced up.

Successfully forced the Magic to shoot quickly and miss!

However, Rahim jumped up and made a tip-in!

As Hill cut inside after passing the ball, Rasheed Wallace, who had seen this all-around warrior who averaged 9.8 rebounds per game as a small forward, subconsciously blocked Hill. Kwame Brown could also grab rebounds by pressing Howard, but Rahim's bounce speed was too fast, faster than Kwame Brown and Howard. After all, he was a small forward, and made a tip-in!

Is this a coincidence?

Liu Mang looked at the Magic's cooperation and felt that it was not a coincidence, but a well-planned tactic!

Putting aside this strange idea, Liu Mang immediately rushed back to the basket. Kwame Brown was not stunned. He picked up the ball and stepped on one foot outside the boundary. He threw the ball to Liu Mang with one foot in the air. The whole Hawks team rushed quickly!

Liu Mang took two steps and immediately threw it to a position a little past the center line. At this time, McGrady, who had taken a step forward, just shook off Christie and rushed across the center line. McGrady, who received the ball, rushed towards the opponent's basket.

The Magic's defense was really fast! Nelson took the lead in retreating to the basket, and Rahim and Howard, who had just scored, also retreated. Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt, McGrady was sandwiched by Nelson and Christie, and Howard and Rahim rushed back. They did not choose to force it, but threw it to the top arc. Liu Mang just got outside the three-point line, and McGrady's ball was just in place.

However, the Magic's defense is not that simple. Howard really rushed in. When Liu Mang received the ball, Rahim just blocked Liu Mang. Fortunately, Liu Mang did not shoot immediately after receiving the ball. He reacted quickly and broke through from the left side while Rahim was not in a defensive position. Rahim kicked the ground with his left foot and retreated to the right rear.

Rahim knew Liu Mang too well. If Liu Mang broke through on the right side, he could not defend like this and would definitely be retreated. But Liu Mang broke through from the left side and almost always attacked the basket.

The easiest person to defeat you is the person next to you. Rahim's actions well explained this.

But Liu Mang still retreated!

When Rahim suddenly bounced out to the right rear, Liu Mang also predicted that Rahim would defend him like this. Almost at the same time as Rahim, he pushed his left foot to the ground and bounced out to the right side of the top arc of the right rear, as if dancing with Rahim, sliding face to face in the air!

Liu Mang saw Rahim's surprised expression, and Rahim also saw Liu Mang's proud smile.

Rahim watched Liu Mang grab the ball with his left hand, put it to the right waist, from the right waist to the right shoulder, and throw it to the basket!

"It must go in! Otherwise, it's not pretending to be stupid! "

Liu Mang kept praying in his heart when he threw it out.

Fortunately, his left hand has been practiced a lot, and his sense of rhythm is very good. Liu Mang saw the ball hit the inside of the basket and fell into the circle, bringing a burst of net flowers.

"Oh..." Liu Mang patted his left hand and blew his left palm towards Rahim.

Not only Rahim, but others were also shocked. McGrady rushed up and tried to bump his chest with Liu Mang, but Liu Mang dodged it with his clever move, and then ran back laughing. McGrady chased him for a few steps and found that he could not catch up, so he quickly retreated to the three-point line to defend.

It was terrible!

Rahim watched Liu Mang grow up little by little, and he was sure that Liu Mang was right-handed. In the past, he could only lay up with his left hand at most, and he had almost no mid-range shots. Now he actually threw three-pointers with his left hand, just like his right hand!

Of course, this was because Liu Mang scored, otherwise he would be laughed at.

But he scored on the first shot, and the confident shooting posture of a three-point handsome guy made Rahim believe that Liu Mang really developed left-handed shooting!

Based on Rahim's understanding of Liu Mang, Liu Mang's terrifying "talent" was definitely enough to do it!

The fans at the scene were even more shocked. This was too exaggerated. I had never used my left hand to shoot from beyond the three-point line before. I had used my left hand to shoot from mid-range, but only a few times. I only used my left hand for layups and dribbling breakthroughs, and I only started to use it more this season. It was rare before.

The cheers of the fans at the scene were about to explode. Almost all the fans stood up, cheering to disturb the Magic while doing the left-handed sniper action!

The right-handed sniper was ugly enough, and the left hand... the whole Phillips Arena became ugly...

I wrote the beginning of the game, and I will prepare one or two chapters to finish the game later, so that it will be smoother~
