Chapter 1407 1406. Treat Da Si as Xiao Si

With two of the Three Eagles leading the team, the Eagles' offense is not a problem against a team like the Lakers that is good in defense but not slow in pace and not very defensive in pressure. Previously, even if Yao Ming was a huge defensive deterrent in the paint, the Eagles 11 points in 5 minutes is not bad.

The key is defense!

Yao Ming was on full fire, going all out and scoring eight points in a row without any physical exertion. After that, Kobe started again!

With Wang Zhizhi opening up the space and Gasol switching between high and low posts, Kobe's low and high post singles are completely unstoppable. Kobe this season is basically Kobe at his peak.

Reminders kept ringing in Liu Mang's mind, Kobe's oppressive nature of "fighting to the death", his "serial killer" nature of tormenting opponents, and the early arrival of "Kobe time" after scoring three goals in a row, allowing the Lakers to win five games in a row. After scoring 16 points in 1 minute, he scored 17 points in more than six minutes!

Liu Mang's defense... couldn't be defended, and Battier's defense... was only average. Battier's blindfold looked very coquettish, but every time Kobe beat him, his performance was above average.

Granger, who came into the rotation, was not very good at guarding Kobe. The one who defended him the best was McGrady. McGrady, who was not at a disadvantage in terms of height, movement, and confrontation, was the best at limiting Kobe.

Yao Ming scored 8 minutes in the half, and Kobe Bryant scored 13 points in a single quarter. He was already ready to fight the Hawks. The Lakers, who wanted to sweep the Hawks in the regular season, led the Lakers with the support of Gasol and Odom. The team scored 33 points in a single quarter!

The Eagles have no choice but to fight to the death!

Kobe singled out in the low post, Liu Mang went to the high post to turn around and hit a jumper, Gasol turned around in the low post and hit another, Liu Mang then found a way to create a defensive rotation, and singled out Jones. The Lakers, with the support of the "husband and wife team", created Jones or O. Dom's air-cutting opportunity, Wang Zhizhi's three-point opportunity, Jason Terry and Tracy McGrady responded...

The Eagles were not bad either, scoring 29 points in the first quarter and entering the intersection with a 4-point deficit.

…

The situation is not optimistic!

Replacing Tracy McGrady early in the ninth minute of the first quarter was a huge hidden danger for the Eagles' rotation.

David Lee's performance is still too poor. Compared with Wang Zhizhi who was at his peak, David Lee is still a little behind. After all, he is only in his second year. In the original time and space, he only entered his peak period in 2010 and was selected as an All-Star. Now he It's just a substitute who has low-post singles, mid-range shooting, and rebounds but has the same many shortcomings.

Liu Mang took the tactical board during the break. The coaching staff had nothing to do. There was no one to guard Kobe and no one to guard Wang Zhizhi.

"How to rotate next?" Liu Mang tapped on the tactical board. There was a lot of rest time between sessions, much longer than a pause, so he could think slowly.

McGrady played nearly 9 minutes in the first quarter. He continued to replace McGrady at the beginning of the second quarter. It is expected to have a great impact on the second half. McGrady scored 20 points, five or six assists, and one or two blocks in the first three quarters many times. games, but in the fourth quarter, he often gets nothing and can only rely on his height to grab rebounds and pass the ball.

Grant Hill... didn't get a chance to play in the first quarter. Although the coaching staff put him on the 13-man roster, they were not originally prepared to let him play in the first game. He was put on the roster purely out of respect. , playing such an important game against the Lakers, the issue of using newcomers is still quite worrying.

But Liu Mang...

After thinking about it for a while, I made my decision.

"Steve, Grant, Strohmeier, Sean...it's Sean M, not Sean B, Sean B, you sit down...let's go together, five of us!"

Liu Mang made a bold rotation!

Not only do we have to use new people, but also... there is no one taller than 2.06 meters!

Like Tracy McGrady and Battier, both have a defensive rating of 89, but Liu Mang chose Grant Hill!

With this lineup, Coach Kruger opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say anything, just let it be!

Kwame Brown played the entire first quarter, facing Yao Ming and Gasol one after another. He was so tired that he could only do this now. Mark Jackson is not a big center. As for Blake, Grant Hill, and Swift, The three newcomers come together...what if they arrive together and have a miraculous effect?

…

After returning from the break, the Lakers carried out a large-scale rotation. Kobe continued to stay on the court. Gasol, who played the entire first quarter, was replaced and replaced by the inside combination of Yao Ming and Radmanovic. Barnes was reassigned to the forward position to guard against the Hawks' forward-guard duo, and the point guard position... was replaced by a fast 180cm small point guard, Si Bi, who was in the same class as Liu Mang. Ty Claxton.

"Speedy Claxton, ability evaluation 78, offense 83, defense 74, 51 three-pointers, 82 mid-range shots, 88 layups, 85 passing, 95 speed, 75 strength..."

Claxton, Liu Mang has an impression, was once known as "Little Iverson". He was Paul's substitute last season. He averaged 12 points and 5 assists per game. He is a very powerful speed point guard. Except for not having three-pointers, everything else is very good. good.

What impressed Liu Mang was not because he performed well last season, nor because they were players in the same class, but because this guy scored in double figures twice in the 2003 Finals, surpassing even Parker in the same class.

Speaking of which, Liu Mang is only in his sixth year of career, but the average NBA career is only three or four years. The career of a star player may be longer, but for an ordinary player, a six-year career... is already considered a veteran. Claxton has reached the time to pursue the last big contract. Last summer, he signed a 4-year, 22 million contract with the Lakers and became a strong backup point guard for the Lakers.

The Hawks sent out a lineup of Blake, Liu Mang, Grant Hill, Marion, and Swift.

As soon as the Hawks sent out this lineup, the people on the Lakers side felt unimaginable... What kind of lineup is this?

Yao Ming looked at Swift, the guy who was once his teammate, and thought of the scene in his rookie season when he was dunked by this guy who was still an opponent...

Yao Ming felt a strong sense of provocation!

"It must be that bad compatriot who wants to provoke me!" Yao Ming adjusted his breathing and tried to ensure that he would not be angry to death.

Grant Hill wore the No. 33 jersey for the first time as a Hawks player and won a lot of cheers from the fans on the scene.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers' first ball was scored by Claxton, but it didn't go in. Liu Mang was caught off guard. Claxton was just like Iverson, with a very fast breakthrough speed, but his finishing ability and mid-range shooting ability were worse than Iverson's, so his throw-in didn't go in.

Liu Mang chased in and grabbed the defensive rebound from Yao Ming's head and protected the ball.

Yao Ming felt that his "conscience" was being used!

Liu Mang's way of grabbing the rebound by throwing himself into the air before grabbing the ball, Yao Ming really didn't dare to hit Liu Mang, in case he got hurt...

However, Liu Mang... didn't blush at all about taking advantage of other people's kindness. He grabbed the rebound and immediately turned around and ran down...

All troops attacked! With this lineup, Liu Mang wanted to counterattack. If the opponent didn't score, that would be even better, so that he could counterattack faster!

Liu Mang counterattacked actively and quickly advanced across half court. Kobe and Claxton had already blocked him, but there was someone who was more active than Liu Mang!

It's not Marion, Marion is a step slower, it's a super physical fitness man with physical fitness comparable to Stoudemire and Josh Smith - Stromile Swift!

Liu Mang took a step across the half court and sent the ball directly to the right side of the basket. Stromile just stepped into the free throw line and jumped directly. Liu Mang dared to pass, he dared to receive the ball!

When Swift jumped, the skier Radmanovic, who had opened up space at a 45-degree angle and retreated one step ahead, had already retreated to the basket. Seeing Swift jump in one step from the free throw line, Radmanovic jumped hard to stop the opponent's super long-distance alley-oop pass.

So...

Radmanovic is going to be on the top 100 goals of this season's regular season...

Swift was so arrogant that he received Liu Mang's bold pass in the face of confrontation, and rode on Radmanovic's head to smash the ball into the basket!

The most arrogant thing is that after Swift smashed the ball into the basket, he clamped Radmanovic's head with his legs!

This is not just being rude, it's a complete provocation!

As a former Serbian and Yugoslavian player, Radmanovic pushed Swift after he landed!
