From today on is the king

Chapter 1524 1523. Maimang VS Moke (seeking monthly ticket)

The two referees had doubts about the ownership of the ball. They had to watch the replay to determine whether the ball last touched Liu Mang's left hand or Odom's left hand.

Kobe didn't pay attention to Liu Mang's pretentious behavior. He could see it several times every year. Now he has more important things, so he called several teammates on the field to discuss together.

Liu Mang wanted to eavesdrop, but was pushed away by a player who is [-] meters tall...

"Short-handed men have no morals!"

Liu Mang spat at Yao Ming, and was called away by McGrady. They also want to take this time to discuss, and discuss countermeasures for the adjustments made by the Lakers players just now.

Liu Mang also knew that the current situation was not really that good, and Odom also became focused, even if it was only a few minutes of concentration, it was a troublesome thing.

Liu Mang also concentrated on thinking and analyzing, and then told his teammates some small details that should be paid attention to.

The two No. 24 players are the souls of their respective teams. After the discussion, the two No. 24 concluded: "The guy opposite is just lucky to have so many good teammates, but I also have you, and with you by my side, I believe we are the strongest!"

……

After watching the replay several times, the referee was sure that the ball finally touched Liu Mang's hand.

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!
The Lakers got the ball from the baseline, and Odom sent the ball to Kobe. Kobe hit a single directly and hit a mid-range jumper against McGrady's defense.

There is no way around this, McGrady has done the best he can, but Kobe, a guy like Kobe who has no difficulty making difficulties and has to make a few blind shots but still maintains a 40.00% shooting rate in his early fives all the year round, whether he can make it or not is really not the defense's final decision.

Maimang teamed up with the backcourt and had to play positional warfare. After all, there was a small Gasol, so the style of play was very simple and clear. The outside line took turns to attack with the ball.

No one can stop Liu Mang who is feeling good. After McGrady breaks through and attracts Odom to help defend, Marion helps Liu Mang block Kobe. McGrady points the ball to Liu Mang.
3 of 3 three-pointers!
25 to 18, 7 points difference!

Little Gasol returned to his own basket with a slap in the face, and now the most important thing for the Eagles is defense!
Liu Reck's touch is open. Whether he shoots himself, or attracts off-ball pincers or off-ball blocking, he can help the Eagles score. It's just a matter of his own scoring and his teammates' scoring. Anyway, when Liu Reckon's touch is ignited, the Eagles will be alive on the offensive end, unless McGrady, Scola, and Marion are always playing iron.

But when the Lakers attacked, the Lakers' style of play changed, and Yao Ming returned to the mid-range.

However, after Yao Ming went to the middle distance, he did not simply use the middle distance as a check point, but helped Kobe block McGrady when Kobe came out.

When Kobe was running, Odom passed Marion with a breakthrough skill that didn't match his figure at all, and broke into the inside line. Liu Mang, who had lost the contraction to attack Kobe, could only double-team towards Odom.

Odom was blocked by Liu Mang, and Marion pinched it in place, but at this time Kobe used Yao Ming's pick-and-roll to go around the basket from the middle, received the ball and easily dodged the shrinking Gasol for a layup... He didn't score, but Odom didn't stop after passing the ball.
Odom's offensive performance exploded this time!

All done by one person!

After two more rounds, the two teams insisted on the established style of play. When the ball was dead, the Lakers did not make any substitutions. The Eagles tentatively replaced Gasol with Brad Miller, who can open up the space and can transfer passes and pick-and-rolls.

It is true that Yao Ming has a mid-range threat, and it is a very effective threat.

But the threat is just a threat. If Yao Ming goes to the middle distance, he will not be lethal. His strongest point is that he is the most dominant super center in inside singles after O'Neill!And it is the only super center that O'Neal admits.

But little Gasol is too fat!And now he is fat and strong!Fat and muscular!

Of course, with the meat shield of Gasol Jr., the Eagles can't completely kill the Lakers' offense. Yao Ming has a mid-range shot, Kobe can drop low, and Odom can also act as a point guard to organize the offense.

But at the very least, the Eagles blocked Yao Ming's low-post singles move, forcing Yao Ming to go to the middle distance.

One-on-one singles can score [-] to [-]% of the ball, and there is no need for any tactics at all. Back then, with O'Neal and Yao Ming when he was still physically fit, their singles were the strongest tactics.

Cutting off a "super tactic" of the opponent, although it cannot completely kill them, but the most important thing the Eagles want Gasol to do, this is the ultimate that Gasol can do.

Moreover, Gasol was replaced, and Yao Ming didn't rush back to the inside, but kept playing the previous few rounds.

After all, the team play in the previous few rounds was very effective. He felt that if he returned to the inside to play singles, the Eagles would definitely replace Gasol again.

The Hawks' goal of forcing Yao Ming into the mid-range was successful.

but!

The X factor of Odom has frustrated the Eagles' idea of ​​a solid advantage!
Odom's breakthrough, passing, rebounding awareness...

All top notch!
Under Odom's organized offense, although the Lakers failed to bring out the characteristics of Yao Ming's low-post killer, the offensive end was not affected except for the three rounds after the official suspension. Kobe played even better with the help of Odom!
The Eagles’ offense was as Liu Reck expected. Liu Reck scored 8 points in the first 17 minutes, and Liu Reck only scored 4 points in the next 3 minutes, exactly 20 points in a single quarter. However, he got 4 assist in the next 1 minutes. Moreover, as long as Liu Reck used the pick-and-roll, both of them would block him first, allowing Marion or Brad Miller to have better space.

After the first quarter, the Eagles entered the intermission with a 34-point lead 30-4.

The commentator of the TV station commented: Except for a long time of brain teasing, it is really hard to say that there are things Odom can't do in basketball.

……

Looking at McGrady who was out of breath after playing the first quarter, and then looked at the opponent's all-around fighter with 4 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in less than half a quarter...

In Liu Mang's eyes, that guy looked like a McGrady who grew a few centimeters taller, weighed more than ten kilograms, and slowed down!
Of course, compared to McGrady's all-round ability, which is first-class and the closest to the top, Odom is worse than McGrady in all aspects. Except for rebounds and steals, McGrady's ratings are almost 88 and 89. When Odom is serious, his technical evaluations are almost all around 85. If Odom's height is the same as McGrady's, his ability evaluation in a serious state is just right for the top level, but he can't stand it, but Odom is higher!Two meters one zero!And it's a real inside body, no matter how hard you practice, you can't get your height out.

Breaks through like a small forward, shoots like a shooting guard, passes like a point guard, and can also rush for offensive rebounds like a physical center.

No matter how many times I've seen it, Odom's style of play is surreal.

Seriously, Odom + Kobe, it seems that there is not much difference between the cross-time and space combination of Magician + Kobe...

However, Liu Mang's fighting spirit is very high now!

They are on top!
In the first half of the first quarter, Gasol went crazy, and in the second half, Odom went crazy. The Lakers played such a coquettish performance when Yao Ming was targeted, and the Eagles still led by 4 points. That is to say, the Eagles have played a very successful game so far!
Seeing that Wade, Jason Terry, Grant Hill, and Kwame Brown were about to play, Liu Mang put away his surprise at Odom and continued to play in the second quarter.

Back from the intermission, the Lakers sent Anfernee Hardaway, Kobe Bryant, Radmanovich, Odom, Gasol lineup.

No matter what, there will always be two of the three super insider Lakers on the court.

Zen master looked at the opponent's lineup of one big and four small, and the opponent's super outside group gave him a headache.

In contrast, coach Kruger's hair on the Hawks side is estimated to be a few less, and the opponent's super insiders also give him a headache.

But... After seeing the other team's lineup, the head coaches of the two teams couldn't help but look at each other's bench. The two head coaches looked at each other, and they could see that the other team had the same idea, and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Since the Hawks relied on the excellent performance of a group of super outsiders in the first quarter to avoid the defect of insufficient inside offensive ability, the Lakers used the three super insiders to play a team offense. The defensive end of the two teams was helpless. In the rotation time of the second quarter, both teams put up offensive lineups and wanted to make a splash!
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers attacked.

Liu Mang watched Penny push forward, and Jason Terry defended him. Jason Terry defended, of course, the opponent's weakest outside line.

After Penny's contract expired in 06, he went to Europe to recover from his injury for a year. He returned to the NBA this summer to hug his thigh with the Lakers. Through his relatively outstanding performance in the training camp, he got a non-guaranteed contract. He has played 16 games so far this season. He averaged 40.00 three-pointers per game with a 0.5% three-point shooting rate, and averaged 15 points and 4.2 assists in 2.4 minutes per game.

Now Penny can only be responsible for dribbling the ball to the frontcourt beside Kobe.

Liu Mang sighed that fate was ruthless, and immediately devoted himself to the defensive end, without the slightest thought of letting go!
