From today on is the king

Chapter 474 472. Is This Guy So Good As a Coach?
"Wow……"

"Clap clap clap..."

Inside the Phillips Arena, there were exclamations and applause.

For the big Chinese New Year, of course, there must be the sound of gongs and drums with lions, dragons, lanterns, and wands.

In order to develop the Chinese market, the management of the Eagles also spent a lot of thought. They actually invited the Suixi Men’s Lion Dance Team, the inheritors of intangible culture, from Suixi County, Guangdong Province, China, to perform lion dance live at the rookie game of the NBA All-Star Weekend!
Even Liu Mang didn't know about this!
The purpose is to rebroadcast the footage for a shot when Liu Mang shows a surprised expression.

Of course, it was mainly because of a surprise for Chinese fans, as well as Chinese and Asian fans who came to Atlanta.

Palm-sized wooden stakes are three to four meters high, and each stake is more than two meters apart. There are seven wooden stakes in total, one in the middle, and six around. Two people at the two ends, dressed as lion dancers, "dance and fight" in a group of wooden stakes that form a regular hexagon!
Not to mention most of the Americans who saw the lion dance for the first time, even tens of thousands of Chinese fans at the scene exclaimed.

Master-level lion dancers don't need special effects, and it looks like they are flying into the sky, especially when the two lion dancers swooped towards each other on the two wooden stakes, and then flew up and down perfectly, and landed on the opposing wooden stakes. Everyone couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

"Wow, Ace, do people in your country know how to eat Nice? It's amazing! Will you do it too?" Gasol, an art lover, couldn't help asking Liu Mang, with little stars in his eyes.

"Yes, each of us knows Shaolin 72 stunts. One punch can kill a cow. Look at me. The bald heads in our country should not be messed with. They are all from Shaolin Temple." Liu Mang was happy to see it, but he was a little bit powerless to complain, because Gasol was not the first person to ask him. Both Boozer and Prince came from the opposite team to ask him. , I came to ask when it was almost over.

However, Francis, who has a good relationship with Yao Ming, and the stars who have a good relationship with Francis, asked Yao Ming a lot of pain, and it was still a big pain.

Tucao returns to Tucao, bringing the quintessence of China to a foreign country, Liu Mang feels pretty good!This can be regarded as a kind of cultural output, although the orientation is a bit strange, it seems that every Chinese will fly around like this. They are children's skills, and they have been trained for more than 20 or [-] years.

The atmosphere at the scene has been heated up. After the pre-match performance, the players of the two teams appeared on the stage!
The home DJ of the Eagles began to introduce every rookie and second-year player to people all over the world. If the All-Star Game is to bring an ordinary player into the ranks of top stars, then the Rookie Game is to bring an unfamiliar player into the public's field of vision and let people see the potential of these people.

However, this is the home court of the Eagles. When the rookies were introduced one by one, Prince and Boozer were the ones who received the loudest cheers. Yao Ming was slightly inferior. After all, most of the people cheering for Yao Ming were Chinese. Prince and Boozer were also loved by local fans, and Chinese fans cheered because of Liu Mang.

Finally, when Liu Mang came on stage, the cheers reached their climax!More than 7000 fans, twice the number of fans at home for the Eagles!
Liu Mang really has the urge to play a little longer, but forget it, he is no longer a rookie, but a young star who has become famous, and he has to make a way for his fellow students who are still struggling, and can't block the way.

To be blocked is not to block such a useless road...

After the U.S. imperial anthem is played, the competition will begin soon!

The rookie team sent Jay Williams, Manu Ginobili, Prince, Stoudemire and Yao Ming to the starting lineup.

The second-year team sent a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Richardson, Battier, Kirilenko, and Chandler.

Yao Ming and Chandler stand in the center of the court. Every time this comparison makes people exclaim, Chandler is already a big center at [-] meters, and Yao Ming is half a head taller...

Chandler saw that Yao Ming was full of fighting spirit!
Chandler considers himself the best center in the 2001 class, and of course he wants to beat Yao Ming, who is highly praised by the American experts and media.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.

Relying on his explosive bullet speed, Chandler sent the ball to the backcourt.

Liu Mang received the ball and immediately advanced quickly!
The second grade team is pressing forward!

hit fast!Simple and clear, at the beginning of the game, while the opponent Yao Ming was still there, the strategy of the second-year team was to play fast.

Liu Mang pushed forward quickly and sprinted towards the basket with big strides. The momentum felt like he was going to dunk directly.

How can the rookie team let Liu Mang get what he wants?Unlike the second grade who was a bit slack from the beginning, the rookie team really wanted to show their abilities and prove themselves in front of the whole world. Jay Williams, Stoudemire, Prince, and Ginobili blocked Liu Mang...

In the second grade, there was a huge difference between Liu Mang and the first grade, and the rookie team did not have a tacit understanding!They were all active, and then four people double-teamed one person!

Seeing that he was about to be beaten, Liu Mang threw the ball directly onto the backboard...

After Chandler won the jump ball, he rushed up the court immediately, and just one step inside the free throw line, just as the ball bounced off the backboard, Chandler flew to press the ball back to the basket!
So irritable at the beginning?The fans at the scene just rested their voices for a while, and then started cheering again.

The anticipation of Liu Mang's pass, as well as Chandler's explosive physical fitness, were vividly displayed.

Chandler obviously felt the gap, not his own gap, but the gap of the passer. He couldn't help but glance at Jay Williams. The passing awareness of the two may not be too far behind. In terms of awareness alone, Liu Mang and Jay Williams may be worse than Jay Williams, but this kind of accuracy and the feeling of shooting that makes his teammates feel very comfortable when receiving the ball is Chandler's most comfortable ball in the past two years.

At the beginning of the second year, he played a beautiful offense, which made the rookie team feel the seriousness of the second year.

Of course, the rookie team is coming back!
Jay Williams advances to the frontcourt. He doesn't like Liu Mang and Arenas. Seeing Liu Mang pass a ball, he decides to pass the ball to get an assist!

Jay Williams had just reached beyond the three-point line, and it was unexpected that Liu Mang defended it, but Battier defended it.

Now Yao Ming is standing under the basket, and Chandler is behind Yao Ming, preventing Yao Ming from catching the ball at the basket. If he wants to catch the ball, he has to go to the three-second zone to catch it. Although Yao Ming is flexible now, he still has a big problem, that is, his tonnage is not enough, and his ability to block the ball is not good.

Prince opened up space in the left corner on the weak side, Ginobili in the right corner, Stoudemire in the right mid-range, and the rookie team has a decent position.

However, the defensive position of the second-year team made Jay Williams very puzzled. Jason Richardson guarded the three-pointer Prince in the corner of the weak side, Chandler guarded the basket and Yao Ming was stuck in the position, the defense of the low post and the weak side was very strict, but the defense was strong. Liu Mang and Kirilenko surrounded Stoudemire.
Is this just random defense?The second grade didn't pay attention to this game and played casually?
Jay Williams will not miss this opportunity and immediately passes to Ginobili in the right corner.

Just when Jay Williams felt that he had a great opportunity to return an assist immediately, Kirilenko appeared in front of Ginobili who had just received the ball!
Just as Jay Williams passed the ball, Kirilenko rushed towards Ginobili at the same time.

At this time, Ginobili didn't have a chance to shoot, but his basketball IQ was super high. He suddenly thought that only Liu Mang was defending Stoudemire, and immediately passed it on.

When Stoudemire received the ball, Liu Mang immediately shrunk inside, flanked Yao Ming with Chandler, and guarded the basket. Stoudemire didn't dare to shoot with the ball in the middle distance. He was still a rookie and hadn't made a long-range shot.

Stoudemire dribbled the ball very well and rushed inside. Chandler immediately took a step outside the reasonable collision zone, waving his hands, blocking Stoudemire's advance route with his body, and waving his hands to interfere with Stoudemire's pass. At the same time, Liu Mang did nothing else and jumped in front of Yao Ming.

A major feature of the Jazz's defense in the future civilian era, leading the pass!

Deliberately give the opponent the first offensive space, and then use the excellent defensive extension to expand, giving the opponent the opportunity to receive the ball inside without shooting ability, then shrink, and finally completely cut the area.

When Stoudemire reached the three-second zone, he really didn't pass the ball, and he couldn't hit Chandler. The key is that the first grade did not have very active training and a relatively complete offensive and defensive plan before the game like the second grade.

Stoudemire faced Chandler in the three-second zone and stopped the ball!Seeing that he couldn't rush in, he threw his hand high!
"Snapped"

Chandler's one-on-one big hat on the front!

Battier grabbed the ball vigilantly, Liu Mang bounced out of the three-second zone like a leopard, rushed towards the frontcourt, and the whole second-year team attacked!

When Liu Mang was beyond the three-point line, Battier immediately passed to Liu Mang. Jay Williams stepped up to Liu Mang. The attention of the first-year team was also attracted to Liu Mang. This guy is a well-known counter-attack madman in the league.

At this time, Jason Richardson took advantage of the rookie team's inattention and took the lead to cross halftime!
Liu Mang threw a lob with an extremely high arc, and the pass made people around think that the pass was missed. However, when the ball fell, Jason Richardson just reached the free throw line and landed in the hands of Jason Richardson.
360-degree swivel windmill!

Carter's creative dunk from the 2000 dunk contest!As a man with superb physical fitness, Jason Richardson did not have much difficulty in making this dunk!

Although it is not as amazing as Carter's first time, it has a different kind of awesomeness. It can actually reproduce Carter's dunk. Last year's dunk king Jason Richardson once again proved his strength!People have greater expectations for his performance in this All-Star Slam Dunk Contest... not just the duel between Liu Mang and Carter!And him, defending dunk king Jason Richardson!

Liu Mang was also very satisfied with this pass. Only when the opponent's defense is completely unsystematic and there is a man with such physical fitness among his teammates can he play such a beautiful cooperation.

Liu Mang was also very happy to pass a few of these balls at this time to enjoy himself.

What excites Liu Mang the most is that the defensive system works!
There is nothing to say about the defensive talent of this lineup in the second grade. Kirilenko almost won the best defensive player, Chandler even won the best defensive player, Battier's best defensive team, Jason Richardson Although the defense is a bit inferior, he has good physical fitness and has no problem with pitchers.

Such a lineup with excellent defensive talent quickly adapts to a defensive system that has just been exposed. Of course, it cannot be as tacit as a team that has played for a long time, but it is enough to deal with younger recruits than them!

It's the offense of the first-year team again, and Jay Williams was surprised by the defensive counterattack of the second-year team. It's just a rookie game, so why not be so serious!

If Arenas on the sidelines and Liu Mang on the court know what Jay Williams thinks, the former will say: It's so serious, just because you are upset.

The latter may say something first: I'm sorry we are too serious... and then say: You kind of bite me!
Looking at the defensive position in the second grade, Jay Williams didn't dare to pass when he saw Manu Ginobili in the bottom corner, so he chose to break through!

Jay-Williams's self-confidence, when he met Battier, a single-defense giant, Jay-Williams just bent down to look for Battier's defensive loopholes, and felt his eyes go dark...

"Fuck!" Jay Williams saw the big slap in front of his eyes, what kind of defense is this!Blindfolded!
When Liu Mang saw that Battier used the blindfold method, he suddenly felt that Battier was so pitiful. It seemed that he was scored 45 points by Kobe not long ago, and then he developed this trick. As a result, in the latest match between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, Battier used the blindfold method and was scored 56 points by Kobe.

This nasty little blacksmith loves to bully honest people!
But defending the little blacksmith is useless, and defending Jay Williams is more effective. Jay Williams had to take a step back to seek a breakthrough. At this time, Battier saw how far Jay Williams was one step away from the three-point line, and immediately posted it. This distance is far enough, even if Jay Williams passes Battier. With a few shots and such a long distance, Battier is confident that he can catch up.

Jay Williams is not the kind of rookie who is really talented like James. Jay Williams, a rookie, faced Battier, who has a year of experience, and was cornered!Unfortunately, the rookie team didn't have a tacit understanding, and no one came to pick and roll him. He was about to be forced to retreat to the center circle by Battier. Fortunately, Ginobili was a strong player and ran out to meet him.

As soon as Ginobili received the ball, Kirilenko's defense immediately extended.

Ginobili also wanted to express himself, ignoring Jay Williams who ran back to the top arc to ask for the ball, and beckoned Stoudemire to give up his position, and he wanted to play singles by himself!

The rookie version of Ginobili VS the equally tender second-year perimeter defense iron gate Kirilenko, Liu Mang was so excited to watch the show!

Just as Anthony enjoyed watching Kobe and James duel in the All-Star Game, Liu Mang felt the excitement of watching the duel between two top players. Watching such an absolute offensive and defensive master is a kind of supreme visual enjoyment of basketball!

Ginobili dribbled the ball a few times, and suddenly rushed to the left!However, Kirilenko's footsteps were fast, pressing down on Ginobili, and did not give Ginobili a chance to enter the three-second zone from the middle. Ginobili seemed like a fool, and was pressed to the left of the three-second zone by Kirilenko.

but!Kirilenko had already predicted this point, kicked his foot towards the left on the ground, and pressed it towards the right side in small steps.

But... Ginobili is really going to change direction!Grab the ball and twist your body to take the Euro step!Kirilenko's pre-judgment has been frozen, Ginobili took two steps into the three-second zone!
Chandler's supplementary defense came very quickly and completely covered Ginobili. Suddenly, Chandler found that the ball in Ginobili's hand was gone, and secretly screamed that it was not good.

Chandler turned his head and saw that Yao Ming had smashed the ball into the basket!

Liu Mang was dumbfounded, this monster sword is really a monster!

Although Liu Mang didn't strictly follow the defensive system to put the ball inside the ball and was scored by the opponent, but Ginobili's European step and the ball disappeared and he still pretended to be European step. What the hell!The whole body is full of drama!And the timing was too good. Taking advantage of Chandler's defensive prediction, the ball was passed to Yao Ming the moment Chandler stepped forward to supplement the defense. He also played a role in completely attracting Chandler and giving Yao Ming a perfect dunk opportunity.

What a monster knife!This baby that the Spurs picked up with the last pick in the second round in 99 is really against the sky!
After Yao Ming scored the goal, the first-year team had the experience of the previous round and quickly returned to defense. Seeing how serious the second-year team was, they also realized that if they didn't work hard, they might be killed by the second-year team. They were very focused.

However, second-year head coach Mike Woodson called a timeout.

Liu Mang and Yao Ming felt a bit regretful when they heard the whistle, and they hugged each other. Until this rookie match, their roles were over.

The head coaches of the first and second grades made an appointment. When both Liu Mang and Yao Ming had a chance to perform, they would both be replaced.

The fans feel weird, what does it mean to call a timeout at this time?
When the fans saw the staff handing over the training uniforms to Liu Mang and Yao Ming, they immediately understood that the starters of the two All-Star games were going to rest.

There was a dissatisfied "Oh..." voice at the scene, but there was nothing to do. More people chose to understand. After all, there is an All-Star Game to be played the day after tomorrow.

When Liu Mang came to the sidelines, Yao Ming's role was over, but he didn't!

Fans at the scene watched in amazement as the "head coach" Mike Woodson handed the tactical board to Liu Mang, and then stood aside in a daze...

The fans roared with laughter. Liu Mang, who was grabbing the tactical board for nothing, was still grabbing the tactical board during the All-Star Weekend!

There was a silent sympathy among the fans—feeling for the head coach who coached Liu Mang!They all became teaching assistants...

However, this made the fans have a different view of Liu Mang. From the two rounds just now, it can be seen that the second grade played very well, while the first grade relied on pure talent!

The fans guessed for a while, if the offensive and defensive tactics of the second grade were arranged by Liu Mang... that would be incredible!People think of the general manager of the Pacers, the king of the king!

He can act aggressively, play well, and be a good head coach!

Could it be that just like in the legend, a new generation of King of Kings was born like this?

……

"See, Tony and Gilbert, just like me, just need to defend the inside with Tyson on the inside. Sean and Richard are in charge of the outside defense. They are both very strong in single defense. You just need to cooperate with Tyson or Paul to pinch the inside when you are on the court. It is the right choice for me to defend the first time. The second time is because I did not retract the defense, which caused the opponent to dunk. You should pay attention to Andre, you have to play hard. , Jason, you are the same, pay attention to counterattack and catch the ball, and at the same time, you must defend the opponent's weak side shooter, and you cannot give the opponent's strong and weak side the opportunity to pass the ball..."

After setting up the attack, Liu Wei said like the head coach: "Boys, go up and take away the victory!"

"What about the offense?" Parker and Arenas asked strangely, they haven't said how to play the offense yet!

"Uh... that group of people on the opposite side, can anyone defend you?" Liu Mang is quite confident in the scoring ability of the two, mainly because the first-year defense has neither ability nor system, just play casually!

"Haha, Ace, you are right! No one can guard against me!" Parker was still a little restrained, but Arenas was different and gave a very strong positive response.

……

Liu Mang personally demonstrated how to switch this offensive and defensive system, and he kept emphasizing it during the timeout. All the second-year teams have high morale, go on the field, fuck them!
So... the fans saw that the second graders began to bully others. After Arenas replaced Liu Mang, he was more active than Liu Mang. On the first grade side, Yao Ming's strength dropped a lot. Except for Stoudemire and Yao Ming, the strongest insider of the rookie team was Boozer. Both Stoudemire and Boozer were short and couldn't challenge Chandler's height.

Boozer has a mid-range shot, but he can't get a shot from the strong side.

As for the middle distance on the weak side... If there are two players on one side who are ready to shoot, then it is not called the weak side. A power forward wandering in the middle distance, whichever side he goes to, is the strong side. The second-year team just switches Jason Richardson to the other side.

On the defensive end, the sophomore was crushing the rookie team, and on the offensive end, Arenas began to show his real skills in front of the rookie No. [-]!
Three-point shooting, emergency stop jump shot, passing the lob to Chandler through the basket. Although Arenas is far from his peak, his various skills are already in shape. The only difference is the maturity and experience of his skills. He will become a first-line player in two years.

The rookie team couldn't stop the violent attack of the second-year team, nor could it break through the second-year team's defense.

Ever since, the fans saw a vigorous halftime slaughter.

59 to 29, the second-year team really didn't give the rookie team any face. In the first half, the first-year team scored 30 points.

This exaggerated crushing made the fans feel incredible!

Judging from the strength of the players of the two teams, the gap cannot be that big. Generally speaking, the players of this year's rookie team, the strength of the rookie year is not much worse than the strength of the 01 players in this year, that is, the second grade.

That's the impact of tactics!

There are only two halves in the rookie game, so there are quite a few timeouts called in the middle. The main reason is that the rookie team was beaten indecently, and timeouts were called repeatedly to adjust. Even if they lose, they can't lose so badly.

And every time the second-year team adjusts tactics and encourages the players, it's not Mike Woodson, but Liu Mang...

The fans were really surprised by Liu Mang this time!

……

There was no suspense about the final result of the rookie game. Under Liu's leadership, the second-year team led by 30 points at halftime. During the halftime break, Liu Mang let them play casually. The winner was sure, and they saved some face for the opponent. Everyone opened up their attacks.

The sophomore team excitedly pressed the opponent and played for 20 minutes. They also felt that they were using too much force, so they didn't defend in the second half.

But it was enough. In the end, the second-year team beat the rookie team 117 to 99 and won the game.

Arenas really deserves to be a ball-scrambling maniac. He scored 24 points, 14 rebounds and 39 assists on 3 of 5 shots. He scored the highest score in the game.

However, the focus of people's attention is not on Arenas, but on the sophomore with the tactical board...
