From today on is the king

Chapter 1551 1550. Someone grabs the center to block the shot!
“夙怨分支任务：与凯文-加内特争夺2007-2008赛季盖帽榜No.3。任务奖励：凯文-加内特2007-2008赛季球星卡。失败惩罚：视为夙怨中输给公牛队一次。”

"Grudges: The host's team and the Bulls are regarded as the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference this season, and the hostility between the host's team and the Bulls players has reached the highest point. Mission objective: In the regular season, the bulls will have an advantage in the match. Task reward: Feature: Level 1 battle cry; start the next phase of the quest of Wrath of the Windchaser. Failure penalty: End of the second feature mission 'Wrath of the Windchaser'."

Looking at the new branch missions and the original mission "Grudgement", Liu Mang really wanted to slap himself.

But how could he slap himself in the face? Liu Mang grabbed the little Lolita and started pinching the little Lolita's face...

"Uncle...ah...uncle bullied Dinah again..."

After Little Lolita no longer resisted and silently endured the ravages, Liu Mang looked at the next schedule...

这赛季之前和公牛队打过一次, 现在“夙怨”这个任务的完成度是1：0，4月份要和公牛队交手两次，而且是12号和13号的倒数第四场和倒数第三场的客主场背靠背连续作战。

Liu Mang is still very confident in winning one of the two games, but if the score is 2 to 1 and the new task of competing for the third place in the blocked shot list fails, it will become a 2 to 2 tie!
The goal of the mission is to gain an advantage in the match against the Bulls.

In this way, unless they win all three games, they will be sure to complete the task, and compete for the cap list... This task may not be completed.

This makes it very difficult!

Back to back at home and away... It's not necessarily possible to win all of them!

Let's take one step at a time, looking at the pitiful little loli paralyzed in his arms, Liu Mang continues to abuse her...

不过接下来是一个6天4战，2号3号主场背靠背，5号和7号客主场连续打76人……

After ravaging the little Lolita for a while, Liu Mang took the little Lolita to the backyard to practice shooting.

The CIC has reached 95, and finally broke the bottleneck of 94. Liu Mang wants to continue to practice well. If he can reach the level of Nowitzki or Kobe, it will be perfect.

As for the layup... if the physical fitness is not further enhanced, it is difficult to improve.

The limit of existing physical fitness is there. If it wasn’t for Liu Mang’s ability to walk with the essence of human peristalsis, Iverson’s layup with the same hands and feet, Dragic’s homeopathic layup, and the pull-down movement of the basket after experiencing the pull-up of Kobe, Jordan, McGrady and others, there is really no way to break through the bottleneck of 94 layup evaluation.

If you are depressed, you should practice.

While practicing mid-range shooting, Liu Mang was thinking about how to get more than 9 blocks in 30 games. He would have won the two games against the Bulls. Otherwise, if he didn’t block more than Garnett and lost another game, the task of the second characteristic of Lianzhu would be over.

Liu Mang didn't dare to take chances after seeing Anthony's situation where he was evaluated as always only level 1 and could not really become a superstar judged by the system.

……

……

After entering April, the adjustment of the Eagles has gradually achieved results, mainly due to the reversal of thinking, gradually returning to normal from the thought that they can win with just throwing.

5 wins and 3 losses... The 3 games in the second half of March were the worst period for the Eagles this season.

On April 4, the Eagles ushered in the first back-to-back game against the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks at home.

1月、2月、3月每个月都有七八个西部前十和东部前六的对手的疯狂比赛月打完后，4月份老鹰队除了打公牛队的客主场背靠背，其他7个对手都相对较弱。

This is good news for Liu Mang.

At 2:05 on the afternoon of the 30nd, the game between the Eagles and the Grizzlies began.

For the Eagles, the starting lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Grant Hill, Scola, and Kwame Brown debuted.

In today's game, Jason Terry, Wade, and Marion took turns to rest. These main players are the ones who recovered the fastest in thinking, style of play, and concentration. When playing against a weak team, it is natural for other players to run more. When the third-to-last and fourth games against the Bulls came, it was time to really test their strength.

The Hawks' goal is to get back to the great form they played against the Suns during their 18th straight win before the start of the playoffs.

For the Grizzlies, the starting lineup of Kyrie Lowry, Caron Butler, Mike Miller, Andre Brown, and Al Horford debuted.

Kwame Brown came to the middle circle and jumped the ball with Horford.

The win was easy, with the Eagles taking the lead on offense.

Of course, it’s still tactical cooperation. Liu Mang moves, and after receiving the ball, shooting is the first choice, and the second choice is passing. Kwame Brown will launch the offense for Rondo in the pick-and-roll, Scola will respond to the mid-range shot or cut to respond, and Grant Hill will give Liu Mang the off-ball pick-and-roll...

It went smoothly. Liu Mang ran into the basket and received the ball to attract Horford to defend and lob the ball. Scola struggled to take off... and scored two points with an alley-oop layup.

I almost dunked it in, but in the end I could only get the ball out...

Easy goal, Liu Mang easily got an assist.

When the Grizzlies attacked, Lowry advanced with the ball, and Liu Mang began to prepare for trouble.

Who would have thought that the small steel cannon with a three-point shooting rate of less than 20.00% and only breaking through the ball will be able to average 40.00 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 3.2% in a single season in the future, and also have 8 points and a few assists?

Anyway, it's not obvious now, when Lowry arrived in the frontcourt, he just said... suddenly!

Rondo really couldn't defend against this kind of crushing breakthrough purely relying on his body, not to mention Rondo, Liu Mang could only stick to it as much as he could.

Fortunately, although he is not as tall or as strong as Liu Mang, Rondo has excellent defensive awareness. While interfering with the passing space on the left side of Lowry, Butler and Mike Miller, he guides Lowry to the inside.

Before the age of 27 and after the age of 27, Lowry was completely two players. After the age of 27, his skills and golf quotient seemed to have reached the peak, and he became an excellent point guard. But before the age of 27, he was called a top iron. He averaged only 31 assists in 3.4 minutes per game, but averaged 12 points per game...

Kwame Brown took it in at the right time. Although Kwame Brown didn't understand his excellent inside defensive awareness...or he instinctively blocked the connection between Lowry and Horford. When Lowry pressed Rondo and broke through to the inside for a flying throw, Kwame Brown rushed to block the shot!
"The cap is coming!"

Kwame Brown feels that he has grasped the timing of this block very well, and he will definitely get it!
Just when Kwame Brown's hand was about to touch the ball, a big white hand touched the ball first and slapped the ball to the backboard...

Rondo doesn't care who catches the cap, the ball bounces towards him and Lowry, Rondo's excellent sense of rebounding and positioning take the ball first.

Fight back!

Liu Mang landed and Rondo grabbed the rebound almost at the same time, and the two rushed straight to the frontcourt.

Rondo and Liu Mang threw away Mike Miller and Butler who wanted to stop them. After breaking through this line of defense, the Grizzlies had no defense. In the frontcourt, Rondo handed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang threw the ball to the front of the basket.

Rondo is very satisfied with the current situation of the team. Compared with the number of assists...he prefers scoring. He doesn't score much. It's not that he doesn't like shooting...

As for assists, if he can win the assist king, Rondo just has to win the assist king.

Rondo prefers this feeling of controlling the overall situation.

This tendency is obvious, Liu Mang feels that Long's guidance has changed...

When Liu Mang and Rondo ran back to the backcourt to defend, Kwame Brown was still sluggish.

"I have to grab shots? It's enough to have a guard who grabs rebounds. Now someone grabs the blocks! Is there any reason? Who is the center?"

Kwame Brown looked at Rondo, who averaged 25 rebounds in 4.1 minutes per game, and Liu Mang, the team's shot-blocking leader, and Liu Mang averaged about 37 rebounds in 6 minutes per game...

Kwame Brown feels so unreasonable!
Annoyed, Lowry ran back to catch the ball, advanced to the frontcourt and continued to make a head-on breakthrough.

A player with insufficient golf intelligence, from the perspective of a bystander, I really don't know why he made that choice, and he has always made that choice.

However, as a player, Liu Mang can understand it very well. Just like in his rookie year, he was not capable enough and was aiming at making fouls every day. It’s not that he didn’t want to do better or have a better style of play. It’s just that he only had that little ability to gain a firm foothold in the NBA. To do things that he was not good at would be worse than the top iron.

Being blocked twice in 1 minute, or being blocked twice by a defender in the interior, Lowry has a good experience...

Watching Liu Mang take the first step to block the ball thrown by Lowry again, Kwame Brown knows it!
The boss is really "grabbing" blocks!
