From today on is the king

Chapter 755 754. Serious Shark

The state is OK, there is no injury effect, the tension level
Winning a game in the finals will get double the regular rewards. Although there are no special rewards, there are more than 5200 superstar points and 24576 superstar points. You are not afraid of some injuries. 3 intermediate injury potions and 240 primary injury potions are enough to deal with all non-nervous injuries.

After unloading the perfect weight suit adjusted to 20 kg during the warm-up, I took a round of physical medicine and drank a glass of Gatorade to restore my physical strength to its peak.

This match, Liu Mang is very sure, will definitely be more difficult than the first match. The fat man and the blacksmith, one is a scheming fat man, and the other is a sullen man. Together, it is a bit scary.

The bonus items from the rookie period have all been used up, and now only the star cards are left to be used, and the opponent is two real superstars, and a power forward who is 41 years old but can still play All-Star status.

The game will be difficult, but, having prepared as much as possible for this game, Liu Mang walked into the player tunnel, the game is about to start!

……

As the last player of the home team to play, he was a little nervous last time, but this time, Liu Mang began to enjoy this feeling.

This feeling is really good. Liu Mang doesn't know what superstars think about giving up the boss position at the peak of the so-called hardest road in the future. However, as long as he can play for a day, he never wants to leave this position. If the day comes when he can't continue to maintain this position, he will resolutely choose to retire and will never be a younger brother again!

The most important thing is that Liu Mang thought that there was a first-round pick that the Mavericks got this year, and it was confirmed to be the 23rd pick in the first round. It was the Mavericks’ own pick that they spent a lot of money in order to get Josh Howard. Be the youngest member of the team!
On the side of the Lakers, the OK team rarely leaned together to talk before the game. The two hadn't stood together so closely for a long time. They were observing the situation of the Eagles and saw Liu Mang holding the ball with a silly and cheerful expression.
The two shook their heads and didn't understand, but it was enough to play the game. The two had that kind of self-confidence. As long as the two of them worked together, no one could be their opponent.

……

"Ding... The OK trend was triggered, and the morale of the Los Angeles Lakers surged, suppressing the morale of the host's team. From Kobe Bryant and Shaq O'Neal."

"Ding... The Eagles Devils triggered at home, offsetting the impact of the OK trend. From Rasheed Wallace and Phillips Arena fans."

These two guys are really difficult to deal with. If it weren't for the devil's home court, just the OK combination standing together would make people feel a kind of deterrent force. The psychological pressure brought to the league by the three consecutive championships of the two is too great. Even after a year, it still makes people feel terrible.

It deserves that the entire alliance is waiting for you to disband!Liu Mang sneered, hugged Boozer, walked onto the court, and waited for the game to start.

Kwame Brown goes to the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

The lineup of the Lakers has changed slightly today. Consuming O'Neal can't let Ratliff waste his energy. Kwame Brown and Ostertag have become the main combat power to consume O'Neal. The Eagles' lineup has become Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The starting lineup of the Lakers has also changed, Payton, Fisher, Kobe, Malone, O'Neal.

Kwame Brown made his debut in the playoffs for the first time, and that was an excitement!Looking at O'Neal, who was also the No. [-] pick, Kwame Brown never thought that this day would come when he was in the later stages of the Wizards, but he gradually regained his confidence in the Eagles, just now!
Seeing Kwame Brown's eagerness to try, O'Neal who came to the middle circle said to Kwame Brown with a ferocious face: "Parallel importers, are you going to fight against me?"

Kwame Brown, who was still very excited just now, felt a sudden shock. Seeing O'Neill's terrifying body and his cannibalistic expression, he was about to be cowardly out of habit, but thinking of Liu Mang and what Liu Mang taught him, he held back and stared back.

O'Neill was a little surprised. In the last game, this guy defended him and was so scared that he kept jumping. He easily hit him several times. Unexpectedly, he didn't seem so cowardly today.

O'Neill was even more surprised...or something out of anger came. Kwame Brown picked his nostrils. He didn't know why Liu Mang asked him to pick his nostrils before speaking, but he did it anyway, and then said, "That's right, that's because I haven't met a good defender before. It's not as lucky as you. I had pennies at the beginning, but now I have key keys. I'm not so lucky."

The key is the only game that Kobe played normally in the 2000 finals. After O'Neal left the field with six fouls in the fourth game, he beat the Pacers to help the Lakers win the match point with a big score of 3 to 1. After O'Neal gave Kobe a nickname called the victory key.

This should have been the most proud part of O'Neal's history, but when Kwame Brown said this, O'Neal didn't mean it at all, as if he was hugging Kobe and Hardaway's thighs!
O'Neill approached Kwame Brown and said, "Parallel imports, let me tell you, you're done."

Kwame Brown looked at O'Neill's increasingly evil eyes. Before the game started, he felt that the time for his next tragedy was coming...

Kwame Brown thought that after warming up, the boss said to him: Your mission is to be abused by O'Neal... Ah, no, it is to consume him, it is best to stimulate him, let him keep hitting you single-handedly, and you try to consume him... You will not stimulate people?In this way, I will teach you, what I am best at...

Thinking of the expectant eyes of the boss, and the tone of entrusting the heavy responsibility, Kwame Brown swallowed his saliva and made up his mind. Anyway, he was being abused, so whoever he is, just complete the mission of the boss as much as possible!Kwame Brown stared back at O'Neal sternly.

"Yo." O'Neill was surprised that Kwame Brown, a coward, actually had such eyes.

Without giving them any more chances to quarrel, the referee saw that the two were about to fight, blew the whistle to start the game, came between the two, signaled the players on both sides to take their positions, and threw the ball into the air...

O'Neal wants to teach Kwame Brown a lesson, and prepares to abuse the jump ball first... Wait... O'Neal just jumped up, just about to touch the ball, and was surprised to see the parallel guy opposite him, jumping faster than him!
That bullet speed, O'Neill felt, probably only before he came to the Lakers, could it be comparable!And it's not guaranteed to win!
Seeing Kwame Brown dialing the ball, Liu Mang rushed up to catch it excitedly, wanting to make a fast break immediately. Sure enough, Kwame Brown had a chance to win the jump ball from O'Neal.

But just after rushing to the center line, Payton has already blocked, Kobe and Malone have also retreated to the three-point line, and Fisher has also come to the top arc and is ready to block.

Cut, really alert!Liu Mang pressed down with his left hand, signaling his teammates to slow down, and pushed Payton with his left arm across the half.

Payton wanted to press and defend Liu Mang, but he felt the strength of Liu Mang's arm hitting him, so he chose to immediately retreat to the three-point line. After halftime, he saw Liu Mang walking forward provocatively while slapping the ball back and forth with his left and right hands from his crotch. Payton felt angry, but at the same time felt that this kid was really scary!It's even scarier than what his apprentice said!
Payton's defense is better than his apprentice's. Of course, when he was young, he had a deeper understanding of Liu Mang's ability in all aspects compared to the first two years of his career and now. Like Liu Mang, strength and technology have been improved together, and the speed of improvement is so fast without affecting speed and flexibility. It can only be described as terrifying talent.

But Payton was surprised. There is no shortage of talented players in the NBA. Among the strong opponents he has faced, there is a man named Olajuwon who only started playing basketball in college. After entering the NBA, he can basically challenge Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. His talent is also unique.

Payton waited until Liu Mang slowly dribbled beyond the three-point line, and glanced at the timer on the opposite side. It had already passed 12 seconds. Payton immediately stuck to Liu Mang to prevent Liu Mang from suddenly making a three-pointer. His height and current jumping could not stop him.

Liu Mang was not fooled, and the opponent wanted to put himself in to form a pincer circle. Liu Mang took a step back, a big step away from the three-point line, and beckoned Rahim to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Seeing that Raheem blocked Payton, Liu Mang took a step to the right, reached the position two meters to the right of the top arc, stopped for a while, and when Kobe who was defending Raheem came over and Payton also bypassed Raheem's pick-and-roll, he grabbed the ball and jumped!

Sure enough, Kobe and Payton, who were afraid of Liu Mang's three-pointer, rushed forward. Liu Mang threw the ball in the direction of the free throw line in the air.What's more, Liu Mang's three-point threat was big, and Payton and Kobe both went to attack Liu Mang.

Raheem received the ball in the middle and rushed to the basket. The serious O'Neal blocked it. Raheem took the ball from the free throw line and led Kwame Brown on the edge of the three-second zone on the right!

Liu Mang saw that Rahim's technique of catching and passing the ball was really good. Seeing this perfect three-person cooperation, he was about to applaud when suddenly, he saw a terrible scene!
O'Neal used a turning speed and bounce speed that were completely incompatible with his size, stopped suddenly, turned around and jumped back to the basket, and slapped the ball in the hands of Kwame Brown, who was jumping up with the ball in both hands, to the backboard!
Fortunately, Raheem reacted quickly, grabbed the ball that bounced off the backboard, and made a layup to score two points.

However, it is too exaggerated!
It is said that Barkley is a flying pig. The current O'Neill is obviously more in line with this nickname. Moreover, if the characteristics of O'Neill's nickname are followed, it is Big-Flying-Pig!

After O'Neal blocked the block, he stretched out the index fingers of both hands, pointed at Kwame Brown while backing away, then turned and ran to the frontcourt.

Kwame Brown fell on the floor with a look of fear on his face. Seeing Kwame Brown's timid look, Liu Mang hurriedly shouted, "Kwame, what are you doing lying there? Waiting for your body to be collected!"

Kwame Brown woke up instantly, and immediately got up and chased O'Neal in the backcourt.

Kwame Brown’s biggest improvement now is not his strength. He has played more games this season, trained more systematically, and became more confident. His strength is actually not an improvement, but a recovery. He has recovered to almost the good strength of an ordinary starter of around 75 when he entered the NBA in his rookie year.

His biggest improvement is in the psychological aspect.

The Eagles' defense was obviously slow due to Kwame Brown's attack. Thanks to the fact that the Lakers' lineup couldn't play fast, Payton didn't urge the serve to counterattack. Instead, he played steadily and waited for O'Neal to run across the half.

Payton pushed forward. Liu Mang neither defended Kobe nor went to the top arc to wait for Payton. Instead, he chased and defended with Fisher, who theoretically has the weakest outside singles ability and poor running position on the Lakers.

When Liu Mang saw the Lakers' starting lineup, he understood what the Lakers were thinking. This lineup was specially designed to target the height of the Eagles!
On Liu Mang's side, except for him who is 1.9 meters three, the other four people are all over [-] meters.

But, the Lakers have Zhang Liangji, and the Eagles have hooligans. Just like now, Raheem retreats to the free throw line to defend Payton, as if you like to shoot or not. Raheem feels that this kind of defense is a bit weird, but seeing Payton's expression like eating a poop, Raheem feels really good!
Payton was a little overwhelmed when he saw the Eagles' defense. There seems to be a problem with the selection of this lineup!In the imagination, this lineup can be misplaced, but it seems that misplacement can't be undone!The opponent didn't follow the conventional formation to defend at all!
Raheem stands at the free throw line, that is to say, he can block Payton's breakthrough and retreat to help defend the tactical moves of other Lakers.

In this way, Peyton felt that it would be better if Devon George came up, at least because of his height, he could take Raheem away. He was much better at beating Liu Mang than Raheem.

The Lakers' idea of ​​creating a dislocation was a wrong choice from the beginning!

Also a player with strong reading and defensive ability, O'Neal has averaged as many as 3 assists per game so far in his career. His ability to read defense is no worse than those supporting insiders, but he is lazy and there is no need to support.

Kwame Brown tried his best to block O'Neal. During the final preparations before the game, he had already learned from Mike Woodson that this situation might happen from the beginning, and he was ready to block O'Neal with his life.

It's a pity that some people's hearts are higher than the sky and their lives are thinner than paper... Kwame Brown took his life to block, but at the beginning of the game, in front of O'Neal, who was full of physical strength, it was like paper, and O'Neal crushed Kwame Brown into the three-second zone.

O'Neal pointed to the basket, and Payton immediately threw a lob to the right of the basket.

Raheem rushed towards the inside, but was pushed aside by the jumping O'Neal. O'Neal pressed Kwame Brown with his wide body in the air, blocked the rushing Raheem, got the ball in the air with both hands, and slammed the ball into the basket!

The whole basket is shaking!Now O'Neal, who weighs 144 kilograms, is still at the peak of his athletic ability. Compared with the 130 kilograms of him who dunked the basket, although his explosive power is not so powerful, it is even more terrifying in terms of pure strength!
The explosive power is not so strong, but now O'Neal, relying on the gravitational potential energy and huge brute force of taking off and falling with all his strength, thanks to the fact that the current basket has been reinforced several times, otherwise the basket will not be able to support O'Neal's ball!

At this moment, O'Neal hesitated, and quickly pulled Kwame Brown and Raheem out of the three-second zone. After running to a safe position, he threw the two opponents who were carried by him like children to the ground.

Because of O'Neill's start, the game was interrupted!
When O'Neill saw that there was no danger, he immediately changed from a cowardly state to a triumphant one, and stepped up to celebrate with Peyton's chest bump.

Payton's pass is just right, Raheem defends far, Payton has the most comfortable passing space, wantonly showing his ability to control the ball, he is not famous for passing, but his passing is not bad at all!Jackson put him in the starting lineup just to have a good passer who had passed to Kemp when the Eagles blocked the OK line.

Ignoring Fatty's Overlord Step was triggered again, Liu Mang went up and said, "Thank you Shaq."

O'Neill thought that Liu Mang was going to come up to provoke him again, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to say thank you. He was a little puzzled at first, why did Liu Mang thank you, but suddenly thought of it, shrugged his shoulders, and did not respond.

Liu Mang didn't need to respond, and walked back to the bench. The game was interrupted, which meant that there was an extra timeout. O'Neal was really active today!

One defense and one offense are terrible. The most dominant player in the three-second zone in NBA history is really not a cover!
Together with Mike Woodson, Stockton, Coach Kruger, Ratliff and others, Liu Mang thought of many ways to deal with O'Neal. From the beginning, he thought that all of them were feasible.

If O'Neal was so easy to deal with, he wouldn't have won three consecutive championships.

That being the case, there is only hard steel left!

Liu Mang took a deep breath. Next, the time has come for him to carry O'Neill's start and go berserk!
