From today on is the king

Chapter 114 114. Growth
A rookie with a sinking heart is a good rookie.

The defense of the Nuggets is full of loopholes at first glance, a pick-and-roll can solve it, and it is easy to mobilize the opponent's single defense to the result you want. Why do you have to do it yourself?Why do you have to hold the ball until you hit the iron?
But Tim Hardaway will not give up like this. Although now he has experienced three sad reminders, he is about to have no desires. He came to this team to embrace the thigh of the Trident and finally hit the championship before retiring. As a result, his thigh was crippled, and he also accepted his fate. Anyway, the Heat have already agreed to let him go back and sign a one-day contract to retire the jersey at the beginning of next season this year. Life is very fulfilling.

But this era of newcomers is still very exciting for Tim Hardaway. Facing the so-called biggest counterattack rookie this year, Tim Hardaway finds it very interesting. The offensive awareness of the ball just now is very good.

Tim Hardaway advanced and Liu Mang came up to defend.

"Boom... bang... bang..."

Listening to the loud noise from the floor, Liu Mang wondered how hard Nima was hitting the ball!

"Ankle Terminator Originator Level 4 (Unstealable)"

With the loud sound of dribbling that was different from ordinary people, Liu Mang immediately had a bad feeling when he saw the skill prompt floating over Tim Hardaway's head.

Liu Mang saw Tim Hardaway dribble the ball under the crotch with continuous cross steps!
Tim Hardaway's sense of sight, eager to try, put tremendous pressure on Liu Mang!

which side!

Where is it!
Unlike Iverson, where you can predict which side the first change of direction will be at any rate, Tim Hardaway's cross-step dribble is completely unpredictable!Don't dare to retreat and defend!
Suddenly, Tim Hardaway's shoulder shook!
Break through to the right!
Liu Mang hurriedly moved to the left to stop the opponent, but Tim Hardaway pulled his upper body to the right, and kicked his right foot to the right. The powerful kick of the ball actually hit the floor with a spin. The ball felt like it was being crushed on the floor, and it bounced diagonally to the left!At the same time, Tim Hardaway kicked his right foot and rushed out to the left!
Liu Mang tried his best to change his direction, but the harder he worked at this time, the more bitter he became. Liu Mang's core strength was obviously not enough to support this extreme change of direction, his center of gravity lost control, and he fell to the floor with a bang!

The fans at the scene finally saw a picture that could make them cheer, and the scene was ignited by Tim Hardaway!

Tim Hardaway rushed into the interior amidst the cheers of the fans, and used almost the same movement as Liu Mang's pass before, attracting Muhammad's defense and passing through to LaFrentz for a dunk and scored two points!

Tim Hardaway is still the originator of the cross step when he is old!Seriously, going all out still has the shadow of being called the best point guard by the magician at that time!
Don't look at Tim Hardaway is not far from retirement now, but he can still average 20 points and 10 assists per game in less than 4 minutes of playing time, and his efficiency is still very high!
Nuggets fans have nothing to love this year. The only fun watching the home team game is to see Tim Hardaway's extraordinary change of direction. Apart from that, there is really nothing worth watching. Today Tim Hardaway directly shook the opponent. The scene is like eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year!
But now that the most tragic background is up, I feel that the whole person is gloomy!

1.8 meters three guys are jerks!Last time it was Iverson who shook him down, but this time it was another [-] dwarf, Liu Mang's heart was full of fire!

"Must become stronger! Kill all the guys who are 1.8 meters three!"

Liu Mang cursed in his heart that a person with a height of 1.8 meters would never be able to win the championship in his life, feeling ashamed, angry and humiliated in his heart.

Tolerate!
You can't impulsively confront each other!
In the beginning, it was a good thing for Liu Mang to play three irons in a row, allowing him to calm down faster and try his best to eliminate interference.

"System, why can't Hardaway's ankle terminator be copied?"

While dribbling the ball slowly, Liu Mang asked some other things to divert his attention and block out the bantering voices of the fans.

"Tim Hardaway is the first generation of ankle terminators, a pioneer of cross-step breakthroughs. His skills are similar to the host's Porcelain Master. Others can imitate, learn, or even improve to better, but at this stage the host cannot steal copies."

Okay, I probably understand, Liu Mang didn't have to break the casserole to ask the end, it was just to divert his attention, and he had to save his stealing card for the next time he went to the old hooligan for training and turned on the peak training mode to use it.

However, the system also gave Liu Mang a painful reminder, that is, the stolen skills cannot be used if the physical fitness is not up to standard, and it is not the skills that the body already has like the previous sharpshooter and ball master, so the stolen skills may not be used for a while.

In fact, this is not a problem. Liu Mang is not worried at all. He will get it first and then talk about it. When he enters his peak period in the future, the old hooligans will retire, and he will not be able to steal it if he wants to.

Liu Mang put aside distracting thoughts, dribbled beyond the three-point line, and then honestly asked for a pick-and-roll.

Tim Hardaway was really surprised, the kid in front of him is not mature like a rookie!Even many players who have played for several years cannot achieve such maturity.

Tim Hardaway really wants to ask, you were just shaken by your opponent!Why not respond?
Liu Mang knew what Tim Hardaway was thinking 100% and went back: I have your breakthrough ability, but can you still play so heartbroken?With your breakthrough and the footsteps of Xiaoye's layup, it will take off, okay?

stable!
Be steady!

Liu Mang learned a truth in this game. Don't think about getting mad when you play against a weak team. That may cause bad things. When you play against a strong team, you should shine. Who cares about how clever you are and how perfectly you use your talents when you are against a weak team?

That being the case, it is better to play well and steadily to win the victory steadily.

Tim Hardaway's egg hurts. He scored five goals today, but it's very bad!The rookie on the opposite side is still playing steadily and steadily, without any impulsiveness when he first came up. It seems that today's game has to be explained again.

Tim Hardaway is very powerful, and he is also very powerful when he is old, but there is no way that every ball can be as powerful as before. Just now, he tried his best to point at that ball and beat Liu Mang to a state of embarrassment, and then try to catch up with the point difference in the second team.

But Liu Mang didn't fit in at all, Tim Hardaway was very desperate, let alone make Liu Mang completely annoyed first, his feet couldn't stand it.

Liu Mang led the team to play steadily, screened and rolled with Muhammad honestly, the opponent's striker couldn't help double-teaming, Kukoc still had a little bit of three-pointers, and overall it was not bad.

Tim Hardaway took out his old worm's remaining prestige and played a few shots, but his physical fitness declined after all, his footsteps began to slow down, and the defense began to be unable to keep up with Liu Mang.

So, in the first half of the second quarter, Liu Mang played steadily but had a better chance to score. He scored three goals in a row, which was quite a surprise.

Coach Kruger is very satisfied with Liu Mang's current style of play, this is what a sixth man should do!

When the main force is not strong enough, it is best to turn the tide with a wave of upswing, and it is another matter if it cannot be stopped.

When the main force has a huge advantage, you should stabilize the advantage when you come up. At this time, you should do your part and only have the appearance of a professional player.

The harvest of happiness is always for those who ignore temptation but work hard. When Liu Mang was replaced with 5 minutes left in the second quarter, he had already scored 8 points!
In the third quarter, Liu Mang played for a few more minutes. He was facing off against the Nuggets' point guard, former Lakers All-Star point guard Van Exel. This guy was very aggressive on the offensive end. He averaged 20 shots per game this season and scored a career-high 21 points.

The last quarter turned into garbage time, and the Nuggets surrendered voluntarily, expecting to win Yao Ming's fragment +1.

Liu Mang was not so obsessed with being reckless, but in the end he still scored 15 points and 5 assists steadily, and he had a different understanding of playing basketball.

　In the freshman year of West Forsyth High School in Louisville County, North Carolina, a man with [-] buttocks who was already a sophomore in high school was sneezing all the time, and couldn't help but took out a black scarf to cover his face.

　　Yao Ming fragments, one for every game lost in the 2001-2002 season, the team with the most has the greatest chance of getting the rookie Yao Ming.
