From today on is the king

Chapter 230 229. It's Arrogance!

With a heavy complexion, Liu Mang was rubbing the chalk to prevent slipping.

Indeed, even Kenyon Martin, whose ability value has increased from 75 to 82, is a cutting-type power forward who has a better shot-blocking ability, and Mike Miller, whose ability value has increased from 70 to 74, is a more accurate open shooter. No need to run.

No matter how strengthened, except for Kenyon Martin and Mike Miller, it is impossible for anyone else to have an NBA starting level.

But the key point is that the rookie team is similar!Except for Gasol, Battier, and Liu Mang, Joe Johnson and Jason Richardson are the team's starters, and it's really not much better than the sophomores.

The second grader suddenly became stronger, and caught the first grader by surprise!
Relying on more mature bodies, skills, and experience, the second graders suppressed the first graders at the beginning!
The rookie game is not divided into four quarters, but divided into two halves of 10 minutes each. There is only one timeout in the halftime, plus two commercial timeouts. The first time is 5 minutes, and the second time is 14 minutes.

Iverson was not in a hurry to change players when the ball was dead. Although Iverson played alone, his organizational skills were not bad, which meant that he had a strong ability to read the situation on the court. He found something wrong from the very beginning. The second-year player was obviously much stronger than expected!

For Iverson, there is no difference between having or not having this kind of strength beyond expectations, but for the rookie team, it is different!

Finally, at the first commercial pause, 5 minutes passed, the second grade played a wave of 14 to 8, leading the first grade by 6 points at the start!
The 100-second commercial was paused, and the second graders had a happy start, and everyone was clapping excitedly to celebrate.

On the first grade side, the face is heavy, not as easy to fight as imagined!
All eyes were on Liu Mang.

Although Liu Mang is under a lot of pressure at this time, after all, this group of people is not Raheem and Jason Terry, and he may be the best one among them. This is the first time he takes on such a responsibility, but if he panics at this time, the rookie team will definitely be finished!

"The second graders are working harder than expected," Liu Mang said with a smile, "Then we also have to work harder. Are you ready for the most difficult competition?"

Liu Mang continued to show his self-confidence, and at this time he must bring his self-confidence to his teammates!Just like what I said before, in fact, even if the ability of the second grade has a bonus, that is to say, it has been improved to the same level as the second grade, but after they have improved, they have surpassed the strength of the first grade and the second grade before, and they have been caught off guard for a year.

First of all, hold on!
Seeing that Liu Mang is still so confident, the teammates seem to have found their backbone.

Yup!

There are still all-star players who are not on my side!What are you afraid of!And the other party has only reached the same level as himself!The other party is working so hard, and I can't fall behind!

Liu Mang's leadership qualities also played a role.

Iverson looked at Liu Mang's words and immediately made the rookies full of fighting spirit, and he cried out in his heart.

It took Nima three or four years to develop this kind of leadership by himself!This rookie is still in his rookie year?

……

……

The ad timeout comes back, and the rookie team has the ball.

During the timeout, there was no tactical arrangement, so I will study what style of play to play in the afternoon.

After all, it is a temporary army, and it is impossible to have any particularly perfect tactics, just look like it. For example, the second grade is the Nets' counterattack tactics plus the Kings' Princeton position.

Jamal Tinsley received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, the pressure was great!
This time, he played the game as a core player in the true sense and as the first scoring point.

Nervous, but excited!
The Clippers' second-year Quentin Richardson was coming up to Liu Mang's defense. Liu Mang looked at the big Q's defense.

Really good!

Big Q is a player who was on a rookie contract at his peak. After joining the Suns, he began to suffer from neurological injuries and fell to the Knicks. After taking drugs for neurological injuries, he became fat and his defense disappeared.

The big Q defense in the Clippers and Suns period is still very good, especially when the body is still at its peak, that is, when the Clippers period, the defense is really good. In the third grade, he had 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals in a single game.

The [-]% increase this time almost gave Big Q a defensive level a year later.

It seems to be very afraid of Liu Mang's foul, the big Q is not tight...

That being the case...

All given a chance...

How can I not wave!

Everyone thought that at this time, the first grade was behind, and they should play a more stable ball to ensure the success rate, that is, the closer to the basket, the better. After all, there is Gasol who has the highest scoring average outside of Kobe and Iverson.

However, Liu Mang pulled it up and threw it away!

Big Q didn't expect at all, how crazy this is!How their head coach put up with such a player!

Liu Mang pulled up and threw a three-pointer!Both Kobe and Iverson on the sidelines uttered a swear word!
It's so unreasonable!It was unexpected!
The King of Ganba is triggered!Big Q was a bit slow and the defense that rushed forward did not interfere at all. Liu Mang made sufficient preparations in the afternoon and felt very good. He came up to try and hit a three-pointer!
"Wow, wow, good luck." Liu Mang blew his hand after speaking, and turned back to defend.

The players on the rookie team were stunned for a moment, and then cheered loudly and returned to defense.

Yeah!

I have a scoring master who has created the youngest scorer in NBA history with 40 points in a single game!A super rookie who can only shoot but can make it!

The second-year players are so angry!
This rookie is too arrogant!
Big Q received the serve and smashed it hard, and dribbled the ball halfway.

Jamal Tinsley went up to defend the big Q, and Liu Mang defended Mike Miller, the best second-year player on the outside, and the best rookie in the second year.

Big Q can defend well at this stage, and he can also shoot open shots, but he is not the wave-shooting maniac who averaged 4 points per game in his 17th grade peak and 8 three-pointers per game in the Suns year.

Moreover, although the second-year team was angry, they had self-knowledge. The big Q passed the ball to Turkoglu, who was one step outside the free throw line, and then the big Q started an air cut. Liu Mang's defensive Mike Miller came up to pick and roll for Turkoglu.

Princeton!

Compared with the first graders, the biggest advantage of the second graders is not the [-]% increase in strength, but their tactical literacy!They can better accept Princeton's relatively cumbersome and difficult tactics in the same short period of time!

Mike Miller gave Turkoglu a pick-and-roll. Turkoglu cut to the free throw line with the ball and attracted all the attention of the rookie team.

"Ahhh..." Big Q slapped his head with his hands and howled after scoring a goal!
Big Q's exclusive way to celebrate!
Although it looks a bit like self-mutilation... But at this time, it is really exciting!
Looks better than expected!The fans at the scene, especially the fans from California, cheered loudly with the howling of the big Q!

Well done!
Liu Mang became even more excited. If the sophomores were crushed by the full strength of the first grades, as they did before when they didn't get angry, would this MVP be interesting?

That kind of MVP can't be compared with the 97 rookie game, which is known as the pinnacle of the rookie game in later generations. The kind of game where Kobe broke the rookie game scoring record and Iverson led the team to beat the West to snatch the rookie game MVP is what Liu Mang wanted!
Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt, and Jamal Tinsley was in possession of the ball.

In order to prevent Liu Reck from throwing the ball after receiving the ball, this time the big Q was stuck tightly after Liu Reck came over.

"Hey, very excited? Very happy?" Liu Mang started talking trash.

Trash talk, sometimes it's really not for the sake of spraying, not everyone is so iron-blooded.

Sometimes, it’s really fun!

It is said that when Jordan spouts trash talk, he does not look down on his opponent, but because his opponent is strong enough. Some people are proud of it.

"You scored a goal, but can you guard me?" Liu Mang didn't lower his voice at all. When he was speaking, Gasol just looked over, and Liu Mang secretly touched Gasol's right hand and touched his left wrist.

Except for the rookie team players who had discussed how to call tactics before, no one else noticed this little move, and the second-year players were even blown away by Liu Mang's arrogant words!
Liu Mang received a pass from Jamal Tinsley leaning on the big Q that was tightly attached. The moment he received the pass, he immediately took a step back to shoot the ball, and then suddenly accelerated towards the right side of the big Q. As soon as the big Q was about to retreat, he held back immediately. Sure enough, it was the same as in the last regular season match!Big Q saw Liu Mang's retreating step!He rushed forward!

but!

Just when Liu Mang made half of his retreat, he slapped the ball down again, speeding up his breakthrough again!
Amitabha!Liu Mang said that this ball Xiaona is not welcome!

Liu Mang reached the free throw line in an instant with a super fast speed of 94. At this time, Kenyon Martin, who was already furious, stepped forward to defend, Liu Mang suddenly changed hands and dribbled the ball to the left, and Kenyon Martin quickly moved to the right...

"Hmm... ah..." sister-in-law let out a muffled groan, she was easy to push down, but tonight sister-in-law is very tough!Brutally blocked Kenyon - Martin!

Liu Mang accelerated again after the horizontal pull, and Chris Mihm was about to turn around to defend. Chris Mihm, who was still in the reasonable collision zone, which is directly below the basket, was stuck with Heywood and was about to grab a rebound.
"My God! How could it be so fast!" The fans beside the basket couldn't help but exclaim!

With Gasol's pick-and-roll, Liu Mang's speed soared to over [-]. The desire to show his strength made him rush directly to the basket and smash the ball into the basket!

If you are an Eagles fan, you are a little familiar with Liu Mang's dunk after suddenly accelerating, but most of the fans at the scene saw Liu Mang's dunk for the first time!
Yes, the jumps are not high and the moves are not fancy.

But amazing!

Suddenly from the free throw line to a step outside the reasonable collision zone!The speed is too scary and too scary!

Liu Mang didn't seem to have done anything serious after smashing the ball into the basket, and turned back to defend directly. When he passed Kenyon Martin and Big Q, he didn't hide his thoughts at all: "You can't defend! It's the same with all of you!"

The sound is not suppressed at all!

Arrogant!Chi Guoguo is arrogant!
This is the rookie game, so is that the rookie's territory?Since the goal is to become the best among the rookies, how can you not be arrogant in the rookie's territory!
Not only to win, but to win beautifully!
Liu Mang has never been so eager to win a game!For the first time, he was the strongest player leading his teammates to victory!

"Hurry up, get nervous, and defend them! We want to overtake the score!" Liu Mang said loudly to his teammates.

13 to 16, still 3 points behind!
　The last chapter in January~I recommend a top-notch novel among the niche essays that will be on the shelves tomorrow. The audience is so unbelievably small, it is called "Ping-Pong King". When I first read this book, it was aimed at my childhood feelings. At that time, recess activities and physical education classes were all about this game.
