From today on is the king

Chapter 1164 1163. After I die, I have plenty of time to rest!

Josh Smith confronted Yao Ming with the ball for the first time!

The number of times Josh Smith and Yao Ming played against each other is counted this time, but for the third time, there was a game against the Rockets in his rookie season, and Josh Smith did not get a chance to play.

This was the first time Josh Smith met Yao Ming under the basket while dribbling. He finally knew why James never shot more than 30.00% against the Rockets. Five!

For a ball-handler with average feet and no close-range shots, Yao Ming's huge body is too scary!

"Just now, Boss Ace is trying to eat this kind of monster under the basket?" Josh Smith was so scared that he hugged the ball. It was incredible that Liu Mang was able to rely on Yao Ming to make a shot just now!

But at this time Josh Smith couldn't pass the ball!Sandwiched by the twin towers of Odom and Yao Ming, the difference in vision between Josh Smith and James is not 01:30. The two have similar physical talents, but the difference in golf quotient is indeed a bit far.

Josh Smith forcibly threw a shot, but he was not slapped by Yao Ming and Odom, but it was too far, and he threw a bridge, and the ball touched the right outer edge of the basket, almost missed!
Fortunately, at this time, someone appeared on the right side of the three-second zone!

Liu Mang wearing the No. 1 jersey of the Eagles!

Liu Mang anticipated this situation when Josh Smith's head was hardened, and actively rushed to the basket, leaning against Kobe who was sticking to the defense, jumped up when the ball touched the basket and fell, pushed the ball in the air, and the ball flew to the top of the basket again and fell into it.

Liu Mang made a tip-up and scored two points!

2 to 2 level!
The Eagles are also on the pot!

After playing for more than five minutes, the two teams drew 2-2!
2 points and 4 rebounds, Liu Mang never thought that one day he would have more rebounds than points...

Both teams scored goals, and the fans felt that the two teams were finally about to start a scoring battle.

However, things did not develop as the fans imagined.

When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Liu Mang saw Kobe leaning on Prince to receive the ball on the left side of the free throw line, and immediately rushed forward to flank, and directly emptied Fisher, and ran to flank Kobe before his teammates were in a position to switch defenses.

However, Kobe is now feeling hot, and the trigger of Kobe's time also drives the trigger of another feature.

Stubborn Level 5!This full-level feature that Kobe will never decline!
Liu Mang rushed up to flank Prince, and Kobe saw the two defending. This is an open space!

The biggest difference between Kobe and Jordan is that he is more confident than Jordan, without moving his feet to find a shot space, turning over directly, facing the defense of the two, and jumping back...

Prince interfered very well this time. He saw Liu Mang coming up, and he had a strong sense of cooperation. The main thing he did was not to interfere with Kobe's shooting, but to press up and prevent Kobe from taking off!

Kobe couldn't take off completely. Although he leaned back, he couldn't get rid of Liu Mang's defense. Liu Mang rushed forward from Kobe's left diagonally and jumped with all his strength. The fingertip of his long-armed right hand touched the ball!

The ball flew halfway, because Liu Mang touched the ball, lost the power of flight, and fell down.

Fisher rushed up to grab the ball, turned around and adjusted, and made a mid-range shot...

"Snapped"

Liu Mang exploded!
The enhanced shot-blocking awareness when using Ben Wallace is now getting better and better. After landing, seeing Fisher pick up the ball, he immediately continued to pounce on Fisher. Just as Fisher raised the ball above his head, Liu Mang slapped Fisher from the back of the head.
This slap was solid, and the ball was thrown out of bounds like a cannonball!

2 points, 3 blocks and 4 rebounds!

Liu Mang got 6 blocks and 3 rebounds in 4 minutes in just half a quarter!
These two consecutive blocks are too powerful!
The fans at the scene are all boiling!

No score to watch, there are blocks to watch!

It was a 6-2 tie in 2 minutes!
Due to a dead ball, just in time for the official timeout, the referee blew his whistle and entered the official timeout.

The TV broadcasters were speechless, what a tragedy!

Liu Mang and his teammates clapped hands, it doesn't matter so much, let's defend first!

The block interrupted Kobe's touch, and also prevented Fisher's shot from grabbing an offensive rebound. Liu Mang has already fought hard!

……

The official timeout came back, and the two teams continued to grind their defense.

The physical confrontation is getting bigger and bigger, and the shooting is getting harder and harder.

Relatively speaking, the stars are not bad, no matter how strong they are, they can occasionally score one. Kobe has a shooting percentage of 30.00%, which hovers between five and 38. Liu Mang and McGrady have a shooting percentage of just over 30.00%.

The harder you are, the more daring the opponent is to double-team, and the greater the confrontation!

The greater the confrontation, the harder the role players, and the more difficult it is for several super scorers to shoot.

Kobe started throwing blindly. Without being blocked, Kobe threw a few blindly and always made it.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang, McGrady, and Jason Terry began to take turns to play two by two, mainly McGrady and Jason Terry played alternately, and Liu Mang was always on the court.

Desperately defending, making a few blind shots, passing to an open teammate can't make the shot, so he can only shoot blindly.

The Lakers were afraid of Liu Mang's ability to block shots in the three-second zone. In the first quarter, Liu Mang blocked 3 shots in a single quarter. Afterwards, the Lakers couldn't make shots from within the free throw line. It was too scary. Other teams were fine. The Lakers were really a little scared when they met Liu Mang. The higher the opponent, the better the effect of Liu Mang's giant killer feature!
The Lakers also did a good job defending around the basket. Yao Ming didn't have a good chance to attack inside today. As soon as he got the ball, the Eagles flanked the Eagles, and he couldn't pull away to shoot. He had a lot of offensive rebounds, and he played more secondary offenses around the basket.

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Lakers by one point 15 to 14. After halftime, the Lakers overtook the Eagles by one point 34 to 33.

The two teams combined for less than 70 points at halftime!
The two teams actually took a lot of shots. The Lakers took 44 shots in the half, and the Eagles took 46 shots in the half. The main reason is that Yao Ming had 9 rebounds in the half, including 4 offensive rebounds. Odom had 8 rebounds in the half, including 6 offensive rebounds.

The Lakers team had 30 rebounds in the half, reaching two-thirds of their season average full-court rebounds!

科比半场拿到13分3板1助攻2抢断1盖帽，只有11中4的命中率，姚明半场12分9板3盖帽4失误，两人得分超过了湖人队得分的70.00%！
The Eagles had more rebounds, 33 rebounds in the half, Liu Mang had 8 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals in the half, and only 1 assist. 9 for 3, Mourning 2 for 6, ... Kwame Brown 46 for 33 is actually the highest shooting percentage of the Eagles!But he also only scored 6 points.

No one thought that the toughest game of the season would actually be the game between the Lakers and the Eagles!

一个能少打了4分钟单场拿到80分的球员和一个能单场90分的球员的对决，居然能打出全队半场34比33的比分！
The broadcaster can only analyze how well the two teams are doing defensively, on the offensive end...

This kind of iron fight is rare in the playoffs. There is really nothing to analyze on the offensive end. The two teams can't play tactics, the role players can't make shots, and the stars are double-teamed.

Liu Mang plus McGrady plus Jason Terry almost just tied with the drug-addicted lama combination!

However, the score is so low, the fans still feel that it is not boring, mainly because of the process.

Steals, blocks, chasing shots, counter-steals... the most beautiful things on the defensive end, all of them!
The Lakers had 7 blocks in the half, the Eagles had 8 blocks, the Lakers had 6 steals in the half, and the Eagles had 5 steals, but correspondingly, the Lakers had 12 turnovers in the half, and the Eagles had 13 turnovers in the half...

……

……

10 out of 3 scored 8 points. During the intermission, Liu Mang saw his stats. He really didn't expect that one day he would be stronger than the little blacksmith...

However, Liu Mang also made contributions in other areas. When three centers, Kwame Brown, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning took turns to grab rebounds with Yao Ming, Josh Smith and others to attract the opponent’s attention, Liu Mang grabbed 9 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds, which gave the Eagles rebound protection. Otherwise, they might not score more than 30 points in the half.

This game allowed Liu Mang to experience the feeling of playing against the Spurs in the finals last year, and it was even stronger. The Spurs did not have Kobe and such a strong elbow man. The inside combination composed of dedicated Odom and Yao Ming was also much stronger than the inside defense of the Spurs supported by Duncan alone.

The key is the lack of free throws, which frustrates Liu Mang’s style of play. The whistleblowing scale in the playoffs is very unfriendly to foul-making players. The future king of JDZ, in the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors, averaged free throws per game.

Not even a single chance!

……

Liu Mang's egg is hurting here, and the visiting team's locker room is also hurting.

Yao Ming played the full first half!

Fortunately, Yao Ming basically didn't play singles, and he always stood up and grabbed rebounds.

"BIG-YAO, take a break?" Zen Master asked.

"No! Keep me on the field! I have plenty of time to rest after I die!"
