From today on is the king

Chapter 1328 1327. Rondo's talent! (15)

Iguodala's physical fitness is awesome!

The maneuverability is very good. Liu Mang took a step back to create space for acceleration, but Iguodala immediately posted it. When Liu Mang wanted to squeeze up and wipe the opponent, Iguodala followed up with swift steps.

Liu Mang wants to play seriously, and Iguodala has been preparing for the first match against Liu Mang for a long time, maybe... he has planned this day before he left the Eagles.

At this time, Marion moved over tacitly to block it. After being stuck, Liu Mang turned around and used the pick-and-roll to break into the three-point line.

Hayes defended and directly pressed up. Liu Mang stopped suddenly and made a two-point shot...

No entry!
But the inside Kwame Brown exited the three-second zone when Liu Mang was in the pick-and-roll. Seeing Liu Mang's shot, he rushed forward and scored two points through Bynum's dunk.

Older gingers are more spicy!
Although Kwame Brown's offensive skills are not good, his little awareness and use of his body are much better than Bynum who just turned 19.

On Liu Mang's side, he has a new understanding of Iguodala's single defense. This guy is definitely counting on this day!
Iguodala trained with him in the first two summers, and Liu Mang also followed him to observe during the two years of his rapid progress!

Hayes' height of 1.9 meters [-] is too thick and his lower limbs can't keep up with the outside speed, but he is fast when playing power forward!Together with him, Iguodala defended Liu Mang's singles and pick-and-roll defenses very well.

Interesting!

When the Rockets attacked, Liu Mang stayed at the top arc, waiting for Alston, the streetball king, to advance.

McGrady was very serious about defending against Iguodala, and he was blown away by his former younger brother. Even if it was against Biao, he didn't want that to happen.

Bynum got to the inside and crossed his arms with Kwame Brown. This action was a little too much. He put his elbow on Kwame Brown's chest. When Kwame Brown was about to slap Bynum to death, the referee immediately gave Bynum an offensive foul.

Bynum excitedly went up to argue with the referee, but the referee ignored it.

When the Rockets played the Suns last time, Bynum almost got into a fight with O'Neal. Bynum received the ball with his arms crossed and dunked O'Neal.

The Rockets' first attack ended without a problem, but the smell of gunpowder suddenly rose.

The inexplicable kind!
It was Iguodala's first time as the outside core, and he took good care of his teammates who were the core for the first time, and went up to appease Bynum.

Liu Mang thinks... such a team is really suitable to be a shit-stirring stick in the West!
A team that can make itself angry is very suitable!
The Eagles received a sideline kick, Liu Mang received McGrady's serve, advanced to the frontcourt, and continued to single Iguodala.

Iguodala's defense against Liu Mang is really good!
The prediction of Liu Mang's action before shooting, the prediction of Liu Mang's breakthrough and change, and the change of pick-and-roll are all done very well!
Liu Mang handed the ball to McGrady, McGrady hit Gay in singles, broke into the inside and threw a throw...it didn't make it!

Liu Mang feels that Iguodala is a "white-eyed wolf"!
Every time I played an away game, I worked hard to develop this kid's arm strength, and every summer I took this guy to play, and this guy kept thinking about how to deal with me!

When it came time for the Rockets to attack, Bynum calmed down a lot this time, and he didn't force himself if he couldn't get a position, and pulled it outside the three-second zone.

Kwame Brown's one-on-one defense is not something Bynum can deal with. Those who can beat Kwame Brown one-on-one under the basket can be counted with one hand in the league.

Liu Mang's breakthrough against Alstom... I really can't defend against it. No one can defend against Alstom's breakthrough. The key is that Liu Mang can't back up and defend like before. Alstom is really an inspirational model. From the time when Liu Mang first met Alstom, his three-point evaluation of more than 60 rose to the current three-point evaluation of 30 at the peak of 89 years old!
This season, Alstom has entered its peak period. With an overall ability evaluation of 80, breakthrough is the strongest place. The soul of the jumper is not just nicknamed casually. With a 30.00% seven-point shooting percentage, he averages 2.5 three-pointers per game, ranking seventh in the league, which is quite coquettish.

Alstom broke into the basket, Liu Mang followed closely, Kwame Brown defended, and Alston passed the ball to Bynum on the right side of the three-second zone.

When Liu Mang couldn't defend against Alston, he was ready, and quickly switched to Bynum. After Bynum received the ball, he raised it up and hit it high. Liu Mang took off to block the shot!

The characteristics of the giant killer allowed Liu Mang to accurately judge Bynum's throwing route, but after Bynum lifted the ball, he switched the ball to his left hand, pressed it against Liu Mang, leaned forward with his upper body, stepped out with his left foot, and threw the ball with his left hand...

in!

Liu Mang and Kwame Brown were shocked by this small detail!

Heads aside, Bynum's IQ and talent are awesome!

The defensive end has begun to dominate the basket, and the ability to block shots is extremely strong. Just now, McGrady broke into the inside and failed to make a throw.

And flexible, good mobility!

This is probably the best traditional center that Liu Mang has seen since Yao Ming and O'Neal!
In the next few rounds, the Rockets made excellent use of Alston's breakthrough, Iguodala's support, Gay's air cut, Bynum's scoring ability at the basket, mainly positive, hard work, and the qualities that an excellent youth team should have, all showed on the Rockets!
This is the advantage brought by the Rockets' never being bad, and it is also the key to their ability to be defeated repeatedly but rise again and again, no matter how weak the strength is, other teams hate the trip to Texas!

For the Eagles, Liu Mang was targeted, and the main attack points became McGrady and Marion. Marion's running and cutting, and McGrady's breakthrough, competed with the Rockets.

When the official timeout reached the 7th minute of the first quarter, the two teams tied at 15!
The offensive efficiency is relatively average, and no side has a clear upper hand!

This surprised the Eagles.

The official timeout, Liu Mang scored 7 points and 3 assist in 1 minutes, relatively bleak data, was replaced by Rondo.

But this time, Coach Kruger did not replace a large number of substitutes. Inside defense is necessary. Kwame Brown was left on the field. Given that the opponent might replace Juwan Howard as a power forward, Battier went to play power forward. Tracy McGrady remained on the field.

After a timeout, the Rockets' three core players were not down, and Alston was not replaced. Only the power forward was replaced by Juwan Howard, and they played against the Eagles. The score was unexpectedly tight. Use it to death like Alderman, but when it's time to give it a little more time, Jeff Van Gundy will still give it.

Coach Kruger was still hesitant. In such an anxious game, facing a group of young players full of impact, should he replace a rookie like Rondo, but in the first round... Rondo steals Bynum from behind!
Rondo's defensive prediction this time is amazing!

Without being able to guard Alston, he predicted Bynum's action in advance, and moved first when he reached the inside line. When Bynum received the ball and picked it up to face Battier's pincer attack and wanted to give it to Juwan Howard, he grabbed the ball from behind!
The Eagles strike back!
McGrady's chance came, he got rid of the sticking defense, and made a three-pointer with a 45-degree angle...hit!
As soon as Rondo went up, he used his defensive prediction on the defensive end to create a counterattack opportunity for the Eagles!
Under Jeff Van Gundy's excellent defensive system, the Rockets' youth team defended aggressively. Even Bynum was able to follow up and counterattack. The Eagles only succeeded in one counterattack in the first half of the quarter, which was Liu Mang's mid-range emergency stop jumper.

How does Liu Mang feel... Rondo's defensive talent is so much better than him?
Have a feeling that defensive talent is not a grade?

So jealous!

It really deserves to be a genius who can be selected to the All-Defensive Team, All-Star, and Assists list even after the rookie contract of the third and fourth grades has not been completed as a supporting role!
