From today on is the king

Chapter 1291 1290. Giant Killer! (910 for a monthly pass)
The pressure... Sure enough, it would be good to tease the little loli. The situation of the game yesterday and the team meeting in the evening were quite heavy, but after sleeping, the fighting spirit of the Chinese team players today is wailing.

Extending the head is also a knife, retracting the head is also a knife, who is not hit?

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after the Chinese team had a good rest, they came to the training ground of Saitama Super Arena to warm up.

At 02:30, Liu Mang entered the stadium with his teammates, and the seats were full. This time, the Chinese fans had a crushing advantage!
There were [-] fans in the stadium, and there seemed to be no "foreigners" in the game. At least half of them were "foreigners" in previous games. This time, it is estimated that [-] of the [-] fans are Chinese fans.

The attention of so many Chinese people has some psychological impact on the players of the Chinese team.

Excited and worried!Both emotions are clearly written on the faces of the Chinese players.

Seeing this situation, Liu Mang said to his teammates: "Don't worry, we earn money when we win. They dare not lose, and their pressure is greater than ours!"

The Chinese team still has a little psychological advantage, the Chinese team is not afraid of losing!

Entering the top four has already broken the history record of the national team's World Championships. If you lose, you still have a chance to compete for the bronze medal. If you win... then you will make a lot of money.

Hearing Liu Mang's words, the teammates looked towards the US team. All the US team players looked solemn... except for one player, Dwight Howard, who was still smiling, looked so out of place.

Like Liu Mang, the other players of the Chinese team were immediately attracted by Howard.

So... special.

I don't know why, as an opponent, seeing Howard's smile, I really want to punch him, but this guy is still smiling when he is so nervous!
Look down on people!
Howard played a vital role in relieving the pressure of the Chinese team players!
When it was time to play the national anthems of the two countries, players from the two teams came to the field and greeted each other briefly.

After the national anthem was played and the last few minutes of preparation time ended, Liu Mang came to the technical stage and asked the referee who was communicating with the technical stage: "Sir, can I sprinkle chalk?"

The referee, whom Liu Mang had never met before, probably knew Liu Mang, nodded and said, "Yes."

With permission, Liu Mang wiped his hands with chalk first, then grabbed a handful of chalk and threw it into the air, and went on stage!

The fans at the scene saw this scene, and the cheers that quieted down after the national anthem sounded again!
This is the first time Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder in this World Championships!Fans have a very familiar feeling.

The players on the US team also felt a sense of familiarity when they saw Liu Mang sprinkling magnesium powder.

It's time to fight against the MVP of the finals for three consecutive years!
……

The starting lineup of the Chinese team has not changed, and Liu Mang, Wang Shipeng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming have been sent to the starting lineup.

The US team, Hinrich, Wade, James, Boozer, Kwame - Brown's starting lineup debut.

Liu Mang looked at the opponent's lineup, Hinrich, ability rating 84, Wade, ability rating 92, James, ability rating 83, Boozer, ability rating 88, Kwame Brown, ability rating 80.

Both James and Wade are much stronger than two years ago. James is mainly on the defensive end. The biggest improvement is Wade, who has greatly improved his mid-range shot.

Both starting power forward Boozer and backup small forward Jamison have an ability rating of 88.

Liu Mang was sizing up his opponent, and James and Wade, the fateful couple, were also sizing up Liu Mang.

Their advantage dropped sharply in the international arena. Wade was better. Although he was not as dominant as in the NBA, he could still effectively display his hard-working mid-range shots. James was the worst. Apart from defense, he rushed in and was killed on the offensive end without a whistle.

But Liu Mang is lucky, he is as good as the NBA in the international arena!

It's so irritating, the two are the most wanted to win among the US team players.

Especially James, Wade has won two games against Liu Mang in the playoffs, James... so far it is hard to get a win.

Yao Ming and Kwame Brown came to the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

Yao Ming looked at Kwame Brown, the center who won the finals, not to mention how excited he was, he was ready to kill the opponent if he didn't win the jump ball.

Kwame Brown swallowed his saliva. This was the first time he didn't want to be the starting center of the US team. The boss was on the opposite side, and Yao Ming, who played him in the finals, was also on the other side...

jump ball!

The referee blows the whistle to start the game and throws the ball into the air.

Liu Mang has reached the top arc, ready to defend.

Without any suspense, Kwame Brown pushed the ball back and the US team went first!

Liu Mang stays at the top and plays a strong team in the national team. He is not treated as well as the club. Wade, the strongest outside line of the US team, needs him to defend.

Wade advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Hinrich said he was a point guard, but he was actually a shooter, and Wade was in charge.

When Wade arrived in the frontcourt, Liu Mang pressed forward immediately, and he was not in a rush to prevent shots. Wade was not in a hurry and observed the situation on the field.

Yao Ming's big man under the basket caused Wade a headache. Since the shape of the FIBA ​​three-second zone is a trapezoid, and the longest distance is also smaller, Yao Ming seems to occupy a larger area!

James' running position was not good. He never moved at a 45-degree angle. Hinrich's running position was closely pursued by Wang Shipeng.

Wade knew that if he directly charged Liu Mang, Liu Mang would stick to Yao Ming's defensive range, so he chose the pick-and-roll!
Not James, James' pick-and-roll effect in the international arena. Wade said that it is better not to use it. He is looking for the pick-and-roll master Boozer!
Wade and Boozer pick-and-roll, Liu Mang was already ready, bypassing the pick-and-roll and Wang Zhizhi together to pinch Wade, Boozer cut in, Wade quickly distributed the ball to Boozer, Boozer received the ball on the wrong side of the three-second zone, and swung a shot... Yao Ming stood still in the three-second zone, stretching his arms to block his shooting route. ...

Boozer was a little confused, why didn't he move?Don't come out either!

correct!Not three seconds!

Boozer's rhythm was out of order. What he was preparing for was to cheat Yao Ming with a cut fake and layup. As a result, Yao Ming didn't even bother!
Boozer immediately made a decision and took the initiative to take a step to press up. Yao Ming then moved his feet and pressed up. At this time, Boozer gave the ball to Kwame Brown on the other side of the three-second zone.
However, Liu Mang has already rushed into the inside line at this time!

"Ding... The giant killer is triggered at level 5. When the host blocks a player whose height exceeds 20.00 meters, the bullet speed increases by 5%, bounce +[-], and the blocking awareness is greatly improved..."

When Kwame Brown slammed the ball down, Liu Mang came from behind and slapped Kwame Brown's dunked ball with precision!

The ball was slapped by Liu Mang from Kwame Brown's hand and bounced off the basket. Yao Ming, who just turned around, reached out to receive the defensive rebound!

The fans at the scene exploded!

The scene just now was amazing!Fans who have watched Liu Mang's final cap against Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Lamar Odom are okay. The first time they saw Liu Mang's almost flat-frame bouncing height and speed when he blocked the shot, they were all shocked!
