From today on is the king

Chapter 1523 1522. Welcome to the Realm of God (ask for a monthly ticket)

Zen Master replaced Fisher with Odom, Ariza with Barnes, and Gasol with Wang Zhizhi. The Lakers lineup became Odom, Kobe, Barnes, Wang Zhizhi, and Yao Ming.

Yao Ming stood under the basket on the defensive end in the first half of the first quarter, and the offensive end stretched the space to make a mid-range shot, conserving his energy, and this was the moment he was waiting for.

Gasol was the one who was the most tired when the Lakers played tactics in the first half of the first quarter. He was the one who rushed the rebounds, organized the offense, and even scored...

With two superstars Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming holding back the defense, Gasol played his versatility very well, of course, it is also very tiring.

Coach Kruger asked Liu Mang to return to the point guard position. Wade was not replaced for the time being. The timing did not come. McGrady moved to the shooting guard position, and Marion played small forward. Originally, the power forward Hawks prepared to use O'Neal mainly for the Christmas game.

Except for Kobe, the Lakers are all players taller than two meters, and the Eagles are all players taller than two meters, except for Liu Mang!

Back from timeout, the Lakers attack.

McGrady continued to defend Kobe, Liu Mang defended Barnes, the opponent's weakest outside offensive player, and Scola defended Wang Zhizhi in the corner.

After Yao Ming came to the basket, he saw the big fat man next to him, showing the same eyes that O'Neal saw when he saw Gasol.

Although he had seen the Eagles use Gasol to deal with O'Neal, Howard and others before, Yao Ming couldn't help but swallow his saliva when facing such a mess in person.

Yao Ming seldom meets a player with an exaggerated size than him, except O'Neill and Ostertag, this is the first time!
Yao Ming remembered that Gasol Jr. was not like this two years ago. At that time, Gasol Jr. was only 20 years old and looked similar to his brother. Now... the older brother on the bench doesn't want to recognize his younger brother.

"Ding... Absolutely versatile trigger, can organize the offense like a point guard, can act as a space-opening shooter like a shooting guard, can break through and attack the opponent's defense like a small forward, can defend around like a power forward, can guard the basket like a center and compete for rebounds, from Lamar Odom."

Liu Mang followed Barnes to the corner on the other side corresponding to Wang Zhizhi, heard the system prompt, and looked at Odom near the center line with frivolity written all over his face after receiving the ball.

"It's going to die." Marion looked at Odom who was dribbling from the center line to the three-point line like a point guard after receiving the serve from the frontcourt. His attention was all focused. From a certain point of view, Marion felt that it was the most difficult to defend against the guy in front of him.

Facing Marion's defense, Odom had some interest. After reaching the top arc, Odom began to break through!
Fancy moves like a street player!Odom completely regarded the game as a playground!
Odom is like Antetokounmpo with weakened explosive power, enhanced shooting ability, and more tonnage. Odom is a left-handed player. He pretends to break through from the left and take the bully to make fouls, tricking Marion into moving and lowering his center of gravity to prepare for the confrontation.

Suddenly, Odom stopped suddenly like a guard, stepped on a small step to the right deftly, and swung the ball behind his back with his left hand...

Odom dribbles behind the back!Marion is out of position!
Just when Odom had a chance to get rid of Marion's defense, Odom, who was about to dribble from behind and was about to break into the inside, suddenly pushed the ball from his waist to the inside.

Yao Ming, who was carrying Gasol, received the ball very quickly.

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

A pass operation is as fierce as a tiger, and it turns out to be a pass in the end?

Normal people will never be able to understand what Odom's mind is thinking. Fortunately, Yao Ming was not deceived by his teammates. He insisted on following the tactics and took a good position inside, otherwise Odom's sudden pass would definitely be a mistake.

Odom's "fun" wasted a few seconds. Yao Ming had to make a quick decision. After receiving the ball, he adjusted his center of gravity and slammed into the back with all his strength...

An embarrassing scene appeared...

When Odom made a breakthrough, the fans were cheering. Odom had a chance to get inside and then made an inexplicable pass, which made the fans very embarrassed. At this time, Yao Ming received the ball and was about to attack. The fans were detonated again. The strongest center's wild low singles are coming!
Then, the fans' necks seemed to be strangled again...

Yao Ming slammed into the little Gasol behind him with all his strength, but the little Gasol just leaned back a little, and his feet slipped half a step on the floor...

Yao Ming failed to knock Gasol away!

Compared with the impact of O'Neal in the Eagles' opener, Yao Ming was actually more powerful, but he still failed to knock Gasol back!

"I, Marc Gasol, only need to play four games a year!"

This is what Gasol said when the team went to nightclubs and drank with O'Neal before the team.

Now Gasol Jr. has proved with his strength that if he doesn't make a shot in his rookie season, as long as he makes a shot, the strongest centers of the old and new generations will not be able to break through his "indestructible" defense!

Yao Ming was ashamed and angry, forcing Gasol to try to rely on his height to overpower him.

In addition to his tonnage, Gasol also has top-notch defensive awareness. Not any fat man can stop O'Neal and Yao Ming's low-post strong attack. Gasol's positioning awareness and timing of active confrontation are excellent. This can be achieved. There are many big fat men in the European and American countries who are [-] meters and [-] meters. He is the only one who can hold the old shark and the peak Yao like Gasol.

Seeing Yao Ming sideways and trying to use his height to hit high, Gasol Jr. consciously went to block Yao Ming's right hand, Yao Ming was forced to turn around again, raised the ball with his left hand and threw it out...

Yao Ming's turn was very beautiful, but he was ready to turn left with his right hand, but he was forced to throw the left hand when he turned right this time, and the shot was crooked!

For the first time in this game, Yao Ming missed a strong inside shot!

Odom rushed inside at the first time, trying to make up the dunk, but an Eagles player wearing the No. 24 jersey rushed in and took off first, carried Odom on his back, and took off the defensive rebound.

Yao Ming scored, and the Lakers had no problem retreating. Yao Ming made a mid-range shot, and the Lakers had no problem retreating. But Yao Ming's low post was ironed, and the Lakers had a huge problem in retreating!
McGrady and Marion rushed off the moment Liu Mang grabbed the defensive rebound.

After landing, Liu Mang bypassed Odom and sprinted towards the frontcourt!

Barnes and Kobe retreated quickly. Liu Mang didn't pass the ball and rushed straight to the frontcourt. Odom followed closely behind. When Liu Mang came to the top arc, he stopped suddenly and swayed a shot. Odom rushed forward and was swayed away!
Liu Mang took advantage of the situation to pull up, and made a three-pointer with an emergency stop at the top of the arc...

Again!

2 of 2 three-pointers, Liu Mang scored 12 points in a single quarter!

22 to 16, the Eagles lead by 6 points!
If it's Popovich, it must be called a timeout, and he won't care about the fact that he just played an offense.

But Zen Master just didn't, let the players figure out their own way.

When the Lakers attacked, Yao Ming continued to play low. This time Odom didn't play tricks, and honestly passed the ball to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming squeezed, and found that he really couldn't squeeze. The opponent's tonnage was too large, and his positioning awareness was excellent, which made up for his lack of mobility. Yao Ming could clearly feel Gasol's defensive talent.

Just when Yao Ming was hesitating whether to return the ball to Odom, his outstanding height saw his teammates move and immediately ran towards Gasol Jr.

Gasol quickly lowered his center of gravity to meet the impact.

However, when they collided together, Gasol Jr. didn't feel how strong the power was, and Gasol Jr., who also has an excellent defense awareness, immediately understood that there was a fraud!
Sure enough, Yao Ming flicked his short arm and passed the ball to the center. Kobe cut into the inside line next to McGrady.
Kobe's super pull-rod layup with an empty cut and catch the ball helped the Lakers stop a mouthful of blood.

But this is not the way!

The Lakers can't stop Liu Mang, who has been raised by Rondo!
Next, although the Eagles were broken into a positional battle attack, Liu Mang faced Kobe's mid-range defense and turned over with a fadeaway jumper and scored again!
14 points in a single quarter!

24 to 18, the Eagles still lead by 6 points!
When it came time for the Lakers to attack, Yao Ming wanted to follow the same pattern of play just now. After falling to the low post, he was observing his teammates' running positions.

Kobe also understood Yao Ming's thoughts, but this time when Kobe cut in, Marion went to help defend. Marion and McGrady blocked Kobe without the ball at the free throw line.

Odom cut in to catch the ball and wanted to dunk, one No. 24 was blocked, and the other No. 24 rushed in!
When Odom raised the ball and was about to smash it into the basket, Liu Mang, who was shrunk in to defend, slapped the ball away!

The ball was thrown out of bounds by Liu Mang!It's still the Lakers' ball, but there are only 7 seconds left on the shot clock!
Liu Mang blew on his left hand that slapped the ball away, raised his head and said to Odom, "Welcome to the realm of the basketball god, are you ready to face the fear?"

The radio of the recording equipment transmitted Liu Mang’s voice to the ears of the fans in front of the TV, and the camera shot happened to show Liu Mang who was blowing his left hand. Liu Mang raised his head and spoke to Odom, and the content was still the same...

In front of the TV, there are fans scolding, some fans are cheering, and some fans feel goosebumps...

The scene was too noisy, and I couldn't hear what Liu Mang said, but with Liu Mang's arrogant appearance, the fans immediately booed Liu Mang with arrows.

Odom looked down at Liu Mang, and suddenly smiled...

Liu Mang laughed so inexplicably...

"Ding... The absolute talent is triggered, and the state is upgraded to the strongest state, from Lamar Odom."

"Lamar Odom (concentrated state), ability rating 95..."

"Damn! I want to discourage Odom's enthusiasm! Why is it different from what I thought!"
