From today on is the king

Chapter 1379 1378. The Suffocating Insider

The starting lineup of the Bulls is Hinrich, Saifu Rosa, Luol Deng, Garnett and Ben Wallace.

The Eagles started with Rondo, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Marion and Kwame Brown.

This time Kwame Brown and Garnett won the jump ball.

It can be clearly seen that Garnett, who is about to turn 31 in early summer, has a slight decline in physical fitness!

"Garnett is not young anymore, but Duncan, Nowitzki, and Garnett are in their 30s and can still adjust their playing style to maintain their peak..."

Liu Mang didn't think much about it. After Kwame Brown touched the ball, Liu Mang rushed forward immediately, and Sefulosa quickly followed Liu Mang.

Contrary to Liu Mang's expectation, Sefulosa's judgment on his running position is very accurate!
"Speed ​​93, Strength 81..."

Seeing such a physical evaluation, Liu Mang smiled, which made Sefulosa, who was close to Liu Mang, feel bad.

When Liu Mang was stuck tightly and the opponent's speed could barely keep up with him, he secretly supported his arm. Liu Mang was eight centimeters shorter than Frosa, and it happened to be on Sefolosha's lower abdomen!At the same time, Liu Mang exerted strength with his upper body, pushed Sai Frosa away, and rushed into the basket head-on!
Rondo kept paying attention to all his teammates, and quickly dropped the ball inside. Liu Mang received the ball with Sefulosa, and was about to force it... There was a bad feeling, the cat waist swayed a shot, and saw a guy wearing the No. 21 red jersey flew out of the baseline!

Liu Mang quickly threw the ball out and into the frame.

Garnett in the No. 21 red jersey supported the basket to stand firm and picked up the ball, but was dodged!
Moreover, Garnett didn't expect Liu Mang to be able to run Sefolosa into the paint. This little point guard's strength is a bit scary.

Originally, Garnett thought that Sefolosha was a very good choice to defend against Liu Mang. Although he was just a rookie, he was fast, with top defensive awareness and full of hard work. Bulls player Rigarnett admired Sefolosha the most.

In addition to open three-pointers and layups, Sefolosha has no effect on scoring, but as a fake starter, he can get 20 steals and 1.3 blocks in 0.9 minutes per game. The defense is very good. Sefolosha, who will be 23 years old, is a very good defensive force.

But Sefulosa's weakness, she is still thin and only weighs 90 kg, this defect was taken advantage of by Liu Mang!
Watching the news and watching the live broadcast of the game, although Garnett already felt that Liu Mang's progress was too exaggerated, when he played against Liu Mang, Garnett really felt how exaggerated Liu Mang's progress was!
On Liu Mang's side, he retreated quickly after scoring a goal, and Garnett's defense speed was astonishing. If he hadn't subconsciously swayed his shot, the ball just now would definitely have been blocked by blood!
I was almost yelled at by the iron-blooded high school student!
Watching Hinrich push forward, Liu Mang defended against Luol Deng.

McGrady’s defense can’t be counted on, and the coaching staff has also seen it. McGrady’s defense this year is not only facing a few stars that he recognizes as opponents, but other times he is lazy on the defensive end. The Bulls have many quasi-first-class and first-class stars, but they are not as good as the All-Stars.

As Liu Mang expected, Hinrich played a pick-and-roll with Garnett after halftime.

Garnett's character...Liu Mang is hard to compliment, but Liu Mang appreciates one of Garnett's traits. This guy is good at sacrifice.

Of course, it was not at the expense of money. His salary cut in the third contract was mainly because the previous contract was too exaggerated. The salary in the 03-04 season was as high as 2800 million, far exceeding the level of other stars. No, Garnett just signed a 3-year 5600 million early renewal contract with the Bulls. His big contract was extended until 2012, when he will be 36 years old.

The Bulls can't refuse. Once refused, Garnett may jump out of the player option in 2008. By then, the 32-year-old Garnett will leave, which is unacceptable for the Bulls.

Garnett is good at sacrificing the ball and data. Cassell and Sprewell joined the Timberwolves. He reduced his possession of the ball. When he came to the Bulls, he reduced his shooting and possession.

After Garnett helped Hinrich block Rondo, Marion switched to Rondo. Hinrich ran to the right side of the three-second zone with Marion and lobbed the ball to Garnett who ran high on the left.

While Garnett was going to pick and roll Hinrich, Luol Deng, who was defending by Liu Mang on the bottom line on the right, ran towards the top arc, and Liu Mang quickly followed.

When Hinrich passed the ball to Garnett, Luol Deng changed direction midway and went up to help Hinrich block Marion, and Hinrich quickly cut towards the inside.

Just when Liu Mang thought that Garnett was going to share with Hinrich, who was cutting in, and he and Marion quickly changed defenses and were about to chase Hinrich, he discovered something, and the system did not prompt!

Although it may have been unsuccessful, Liu Mang still rushed towards Garnett. Even if he failed to predict, Hinrich cut in and Luol Deng pulled out.

When Liu Mang rushed to Garnett's side, Garnett had just caught the ball and turned over to make a jump shot!

Liu Mang tried his best to rush forward, but Garnett was too tall and leaned back slightly, which made Liu Mang feel that this guy's backward lean was difficult to interfere!
Garnett did not miss because of an unexpected situation, and made a steady hit for the first time in the opening game!
Watching Garnett hit the shot and hammered his chest to quickly retreat, Liu Mang let out a sigh of relief, received the ball from Kwame Brown, handed it to Rondo, and ran towards the frontcourt by himself.

The first time the Bulls attacked, Liu Mang felt that the opponent's offense had a routine. Although he could only shoot from the outside because he didn't have a strong inside lethality, his tactical movement was good.

"Scales is also a bit capable, no wonder he can sweep the defending champion."

After Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt, he focused on the offensive end. What he has to do today is to score!

Of the five starters for the Bulls, the worst defensive player is... Sefolosha... and Sefolosha is also a defensive genius with quasi-first-class defensive ratings in his rookie season.

And... Liu Mang could tell the opponent's defense at a glance, which was exactly the same as their Eagles' defense!
"Garnett is in the paint, and Wallace is actually a power forward on the defensive end, which is very similar to what I think the Pistons' two-Wallace defense is."

Rondo also felt that there was no living space inside!This kind of oppression is stronger than the feeling of the Lakers Twin Towers. The Lakers Twin Towers are extremely fierce on the offensive end. Although the defensive end is strong, it is not to the point of Garnett and Ben Wallace.

Rondo quickly made a decision and gestured to Liu Mang. Liu Mang immediately went to the high position on the left side of the free throw line and asked for the ball against Sefolosha.
