From today on is the king

Chapter 1360 1359. First Loss of the Christmas War
"The dunk of the century! This is definitely the greatest dunk of this century..." Yang Yi, who explained with the Shuangping group, shouted "the dunk of the century".

Although many fans hate Yang Yi's unconventional slogans, but this time the domestic fans feel that he is too right!
Not only Odom, but also the audience who watched the replay on the big screen and the audience who saw the replay of the TV screen also got goosebumps.

This ball is too exaggerated!

The TV commentators were saying that Liu Mang's ball was about to make a mistake. TNT's Kenny Smith analyzed that Liu Mang's only chance to solve the crisis was to throw the ball at the two big men with bullets, but it was very dangerous and might be judged as a steal by the opponent.

However, when Liu Mang was double-teaming, and when a two-meter-two-six and a two-meter-eight big man double-teamed together, Liu Mang burst out from the double-team, and smashed the ball into the basket through the two-meter-two giant!
Yao Ming correctly judged the direction in which Liu Mang would extend the ball after jumping up, but Liu Mang took off with all his strength, and the height of the bounce was 97. After Yao Ming was knocked away by Liu Mang, he stepped on the ground and only caught Liu Mang's arm, and failed to interrupt Liu Mang's dunk!

比赛打了4分半钟老鹰队13比12领先湖人队1分，还有1次加罚！
After the Zen master was stunned for a while, he quickly called a timeout.

The scene was completely quiet. Even the Chinese fans who watched the game didn't know what to say about the game. They felt scalp numb when they saw the replay on the big screen!

Such a ball, even if it is an away game, the director has to replay it on the spot.

It’s incredible!
The bench of the Eagles, who had already rioted, rushed towards Liu Mang immediately after Zen Master called a timeout.

If it is a center with super physical fitness, such as Kwame Brown, David Robinson, Howard, etc., if he occasionally completes such a dunk, or two or three times in a game, it will not be so exaggerated. It will only make people praise his physical fitness.

But Liu Mang, a 1.9-meter-three small guard, completes such a dunk, even if he does it once in a lifetime, he will definitely rank among the top in the NBA's historical dunk list, and even the first is not too much!

It's time to start pretending!

Seeing his teammates rushing up excitedly, Liu Mang showed a puzzled expression, as if to say: What's wrong with you?
This scene was caught by the cameraman and sent to the big screen and the eyes of the fans in front of the TV...

Some fans at the scene began to curse, and some Chinese fans and Chinese fans who came to the scene began to cheer, but most of the Lakers fans still chose to remain silent.

Seeing Liu Mang's pretentious performance, the teammates are already used to it, and they are even more confident!They have Liu Mang!There are the best players in the world!

After high-fiving with his teammates, Liu Mang came to the bench. Little Lolita ran from the second row behind the technical stage to behind the Eagles bench. Liu Mang walked up. Little Lolita jumped up, and Liu Mang quickly caught it. If she tripped over a chair and fell, it would be a disaster.

"Uncle is so handsome!" Little Lolita kissed Liu Mang on the face.

Liu Mang didn't think too much about it when he was excited, and slapped the little Lolita back...

At this time, the team staff came to pass the towel to Liu Mang at an inopportune time. Liu Mang put the little loli back behind the bench, and the little loli ran back to Levia with a blushing face.

In the United States, it is not a special thing for a father and daughter to kiss their cheeks when they are happy, but it is a very normal thing.

Liu Mang wiped his sweat and rubbed his arm which was red from being slapped by the two giants. It still hurts now. Fortunately, the Lakers called a timeout early. If they make a free throw right away, I really don't know if they can make a free throw.

Some people watched the excitement, some watched the doorway, the Eagles bench was very excited, and the fans watched the replay in amazement, while the Lakers bench was undergoing personnel adjustments.

The Zen master saw what Liu Mang wanted to do.

In Yao Ming's first defense, he successfully avoided being fouled, and let Liu Mang make a wrong shot and missed a shot. His defense was really good.

The ball just now was just Odom throwing too far. If he had focused his mind a little more and made less defensive moves, Yao Ming has already defended the ball very well. Odom's rebounding ability is estimated to be the strongest on the field except Kwame Brown, and he can easily receive rebounds.

Liu Mang pressed Yao Ming's waist, but Odom behind him definitely couldn't stop him, that is to say, Odom himself was only in a "normal state" and failed to make a clear and correct judgment.

Yao Ming had already scored 7 points in a row before. Zen Master replaced Yao Ming during the timeout and had already committed a foul. Liu Mang made it clear that he wanted to foul Yao Ming. Zen Master replaced Yao Ming to protect him. Anyway, they had many superstars.

……

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Odom, Kobe, Barnes, Gasol, and Wang Zhizhi.

For the Hawks, Coach Kruger thought the same as Liu Mang. He wanted to establish some advantages in the starting stage so that he would not be so passive when entering the rotation. Moreover, Liu Mang just played a ruthless game, and the morale of the team soared. So Coach Kruger did not make personnel adjustments and continued to use the starting lineup.

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line and made an extra free throw.

14 to 12, on the scene, the away game Eagles took the initiative.

However, the idea that the Eagles wanted to rely on the starting lineup to play an advantage did not succeed.

Zen Master’s judgment is usually correct when the team he coaches has a strong lineup. Yao Ming has just suffered another tragic blow in his career. Two players who can be regarded as centers sandwiched a small guard and was forced to dunk by the small guard.

In terms of dominance at the basket, Odom can't compare to Yao Ming even if he is focused, but he is comprehensive. Gasol needs him to shoot three-pointers, and he can shoot three-pointers. Gasol needs him to make cuts, and he can make cuts.

And Yao Ming went down, and Kobe began to take on the position of the main scorer.

Kobe + Odom + Gasol, barely counted as another big three combination, even if Odom is not so serious, he is also a first-class star with an 85 ability rating, and he can do everything.

Although the two towers with medicine can't play together, the Lakers' pressure rhythm is not as strong as before, and the defense at the basket is also weaker, but the success rate of the Lakers' offensive end has no effect.

When Gasol + Kobe + Odom partnered together, it was too difficult to defend, just like when Yao Ming was physically strong during the drug-addicted combination.

After Gasol adapted to Liu Mang's precise prediction and mad dog-like blocking, he cooperated with his teammates more patiently and in a more organized way, integrating Kobe and Odom into the organization's offense, and the Eagles' team offense under the guidance of Maimang's combination played on par.

At the end of the first quarter, with Prince cutting in and receiving a point from Liu Mang and making a buzzer throw, the Eagles only led by 29 points 26-3!
Despite forcing the Lakers to stagger the playing time of the dosing twin towers in various ways, the Eagles failed to gain much advantage!

The 3-point difference basically meant that there was no advantage. In the second quarter, Rondo, Jason Terry, Battier, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown came on the field, and were soon overtaken by the opponent's lineup of Fisher, Maurice Evans, Lamar Odom, Radmanovich, and Gasol.

After only 3 minutes of rest, Liu Mang and Marion were replaced.

The Lakers also replaced Kobe and Yao Ming in a timely manner, replacing Odom and Radmanovich.

As long as Liu Mang is around, there will always be three of the Big Three of the Lakers and Odom on the court.

In the middle of the second quarter, it was Kobe and Yao Ming's turn for the Lakers to show off. Liu Mang made a three-pointer, Yao Ming made a strong shot at the basket, Liu Mang and McGrady made a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll, and Kobe responded with a mid-range shot. Today, Kobe Bryant was determined and was targeted by the Eagles, but he made the most important shot...

With Liu Mang on the court, plus Marion and Kwame Brown, the Eagles can still compete with the Lakers.

But when Kwame Brown went down to rest, the inside exploded!

Being caught behind and dunked again, Yao Ming went on the court as if he had gone crazy, gouging inside, and he didn't have to worry about physical problems. His teammates were strong, and Gasol was still there when he was tired!
半场打完，尽管刘莽半场拿到19分3助攻3篮板2盖帽的数据，麦迪也有10分2板4助攻，老鹰队依旧以54比62，落后湖人队8分！
When the lineup was rotated in the second quarter, the Eagles were at a disadvantage and were beaten 36 to 25 by the opponent in a single quarter!

……

Rondo's performance has many bright spots, such as the clever performance of sneaking around Kobe Bryant, and once helping the Eagles to speed up a wave of counterattacks.

Prince, Shane Battier, and Tracy McGrady's super forward defensive lineup limited Kobe to 15 of 5 shots and only scored 16 points, which is also an excellent defense.

Kwame Brown couldn't defend and couldn't score, but he protected the rebounds well and got 12 rebounds in the game.

刘莽28投13中拿到41分，投进了5个三分球，也很风骚，拿到41分7板6助攻，麦迪也有22分6助攻，贾森-特里也有18分的表现。

但是姚明18投12中拿到30分5板，加索尔16分8板8助攻，奥多姆16分16板，王治郅14分的表现，特别是轮换阵容时间的表现，湖人队远强于老鹰队！
When the Eagles sent the three Eagles to bomb together, the Lakers used the combination of the Big Three to hold back the Eagles' offensive firepower, trying not to let the Eagles overtake.

When it came time for the Hawks to rotate, the Lakers left two of the Big Three and Odom on the bench for the Hawks.

There was only one time in the game that the Lakers opened the point difference to 1 points, and most of the time the point difference was within 11 points, but after the Eagles came off the bench for a few minutes, they were no longer ahead!

The Lakers wanted to win against the Hawks. Kobe was crazy. Except for the 11 points in the second quarter, the other three quarters added up to 5 points.

Although Liu Mang scored 41 points and made 12 of 5 three-pointers, Kobe did his best. In order to win the victory, Liu Mang spit on him and he didn't even talk back.

McGrady and Jason Terry also had 40 points combined, Mitaka scored 81 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists, but what was worse was Mitaka's assists, most of which were mutual initiative, and the shots passed to the open were not effective, especially when playing with a substitute.

Marion and Kwame Brown grabbed 20 rebounds in total, but Odom, who came off the bench, grabbed 16 rebounds in a single game with the help of Pau Gasol and Yao Ming.

This is a rare disadvantage for the Eagles in rebounding!The audience only grabbed 40 rebounds, which was lower than the Lakers' 51 rebounds!

In the end, the Eagles lost 113 to 119, 6 points to the Lakers!
When the whistle sounded for the end of the game and the score was locked, the Staples Center was like a Chinese New Year!
