From today on is the king

Chapter 797 796. Joined a fake championship team

The first mission of a new season always comes so fast.

The system did not give Liu Mang the task of suppressing Dwight-Howard. Liu Mang guessed that it was probably because Howard had been at his peak for three or four years. In his early years, Howard relied on his body to grab rebounds and dunks, and his defense was pure jumping. He was selected as the second defense for the first time in the 07-08 season, which was not the period when Liu Mang wanted to suppress.

"Ding... Hip humiliation trigger: ride and dunk Dwight Howard before Kobe Bryant, and become Dwight Howard's first psychological shadow. Mission reward: Skill: Aerial Magician. Failure penalty: After the mission fails, the next time you encounter a situation where you are about to be dunked, your brain will be dizzy for 1 second."

Nima!
That is to say, if you don't buckle Howard, you will be buckled by someone who doesn't know who it is!

Is it that easy to buckle this guy?
Moreover, this is a dead end for cooperating with Howard!Howard's conflicts with Kobe when he was with the Lakers in the future, Liu Mang didn't believe it wasn't affected by being dunked by Kobe.

However, snatching the little blacksmith's show off would even make Kobe, who might still be dunking Howard, "imitate" himself, Liu Mang felt a little excited!

How many times a year do you play the Magic?It seems to be at least four times... Wait, it seems that Kobe dunked Howard in mid-November, so it became the psychological shadow of Howard when he entered the NBA... That is, this game must be completed!Liu Mang remembered the November schedule, and there was no chance to play against the Magic again!
That's it!

Liu Mang advances to the frontcourt with the ball, and Jameer Nelson defends him. Even in his peak period, he is not a quasi-first-class point guard, and will be a quasi-first-class point guard.

Now there is no need for Liu Mang to take the initiative to command and open the space. With McGrady, seeing Liu Mang is facing Nelson, McGrady cuts to the inside and brings Raheem in. He does not give Raheem a chance to help defend Liu Mang. Prince and Rasheed Wallace open the space.

On Kwame Brown's side, they started hand-to-hand combat with Howard from the very beginning. When the high school student No. [-] pick Lang met for the first time, he didn't give the opponent face, and entangled in the basket like a fight.

As soon as Liu Mang was beyond the three-point line, Nelson, the first generation of small steel guns, used his muscular body to press up on Liu Mang.

With a height of 1.8 meters and a weight of 90 kilograms, he is quite impactful, and he wanted to steal Liu Mang when he came up.

Liu Mang is now the benchmark for the younger generation of players. All the new perimeter players in the NBA regard him as a challenge target, which is equivalent to wanting to challenge the top four shooting guards a few years ago.

However, Xiaogangpao belonged to Xiaogangpao, and Liu Mang supported his left arm. Nelson found that his body pressure, which was very effective in the preseason, did not work on Liu Mang!

Liu Mang now has a very good choice. Faced with a height difference of [-] centimeters, he can easily step back and snipe. McGrady thinks so too, so the command tactic is Liu Mang's outside singles, and Liu Mang's outside singles against Nelson. McGrady believes that Liu Mang can have at least [-]% accuracy.

However, Liu Mang chose to squeeze Nelson to force him!
Kwame Brown didn't know why, it was different from tactics, but Liu Mang could do anything. Kwame Brown, who was a little more familiar with Liu, ran out to help Liu Mang block Nelson who was squeezing on Liu Mang.

On Liu Mang's side, I just praised Kwame Brown's tacit understanding, and Howard came out of defense!
Being able to switch guards is the scariest thing about Howard's defense!
Dwight Howard, ability evaluation 75, offense 60, defense 83, speed 87, strength 88, rebound 96...

Liu Mang still wanted to rush in and dunk Howard, but he didn't expect this guy to come out!
The idea of ​​directly relying on Kwame Brown's explosive power after the pick-and-roll to suddenly buckle Howard was shattered. Liu Mang immediately changed his mind and took a step towards Howard's right. Howard immediately pounced.

Liu Mang could only take the third step. Facing Howard who turned around, he switched the ball to his left hand and threw it towards the basket...

Fortunately, the ball bounced twice on the rim and fell into the rim.

McGrady, who was forced to prepare for the rebound, was speechless as he watched the ball fall into the basket. He finally knew why Coach Kruger asked him to be mentally prepared when he played against Liu Mang...

This guy can never figure out what the hell he's up to!McGrady brought Raheem to the basket to prevent Liu Mang from being disturbed by Raheem's supplementary defense. As a result, Liu Mang took the initiative to go to the basket to play two.

Good thing it went in...and, hell, it all went in!

This bastard, there is really no difficulty, even if it is difficult to create!

Seeing that the other three teammates on the field are very used to it, and return to the defense with the expression that a goal is a good goal, McGrady feels that he still doesn't know enough about this team... Why are these guys so big-hearted!
Things that worried McGrady even more came soon.

"Boy, you're so weak, can you cover me? It's useless for you to defend, and you can't cover me under the basket. I will break through later." Liu Mang sprayed a few words at Howard, who was picking up the ball, and turned back to defend.

McGrady felt that he needed a cardiotonic shot to enhance the systolic function of the heart, otherwise he might suffer from heart failure.

The bastard!McGrady felt like he was on a thief ship!
It's the fourth season!McGrady remembered that he was forced to become a superstar in the fourth season. This guy was actually the same as when he first met him in his rookie season.

McGrady returned to the defense with a heartache. This kind of person can lead the team to win the championship. It is unreasonable... Fortunately, he joined them.

Howard was inexplicably ridiculed by Liu Mang, so he didn't offend this guy!When chatting with Josh Smith just now, didn't you shake hands in a friendly way?
Howard sent the ball to Nelson, very depressed.

After Nelson advanced to the front court, he wanted to do it with the ball, but Hill asked for the ball directly. Nelson could only pass the ball to Hill, and then went to open up space.

Hill holds the ball in the high post, and Tracy McGrady guards him.

McGrady originally wanted to assist Hill, but unexpectedly, when Hill recovered, the two were already rivals. Four years have passed in a flash. Seeing that Hill is only in his early 30s, his stubble is actually a little gray, and he has been reimbursed for four consecutive years.

McGrady lamented that the years are really ruthless, and immediately pressed up to try to steal directly.

Failed, Hill protected the ball well and waited for Raheem to come out to block McGrady. With Raheem's pick-and-roll, Hill cut to the three-point line, but Kwame Brown was in front of him.

Rasheed Wallace, in the current Eagles, is the real center!Kwame Brown, who is super mobile, came out to switch to pick and roll!

Kwame Brown is not as good as Howard in rebounding, but single defense is much better than the current Howard. It is no problem to defend Hill, who is not a speedy small forward.
Too sharp!The body of a power forward and the style of play of a small forward!
Raheem of the Magic team has regained his offense, but his style of play has changed significantly. He relies more on his body to hit the basket. He has enhanced his style of play when he sacrificed for the Eagles in the past two years, and found the style of play that he thinks is most suitable for him.

Raheem scored two points with a sharp cut. McGrady had nothing to do. He didn't dare to use his hands above the free throw line and couldn't stop Raheem from starting. Rasheed Wallace and Howard were fighting hand-to-hand. He was worried that Howard would cooperate with Raheem.

However, seeing Raheem's aggressiveness on the offensive end, Liu Mang felt that he had a better chance of dunking Howard!
Liu Mang received McGrady's serve and pushed forward, and McGrady asked, "Do you still want to play?"

Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Of course! That's the No. [-] rookie!"

McGrady wants to vomit blood. He used to love to play because the Magic won the championship and the playoffs are difficult, but it is different now!Now it's the championship team!Why does the boss like to play so much?

But after arriving in the frontcourt, seeing Rasheed Wallace take Hill to the bottom corner, Prince took Mobley to the other bottom corner, and automatically opened up the space without shouting tactics. McGrady silently ran to the left baseline to open up the space.

"I feel like a fake championship team is here!" McGrady played the regular season for the Eagles for the first time, and began to doubt his life...

Liu Mang held the ball in the top arc, instead of forcing it, he beckoned to let Kwame Brown come out for a pick-and-roll.

"Ding... the pick-and-roll master triggers..."

Liu Mang used Kwame Brown to block Nelson, and rushed into the inside line like lightning. Howard came out again. Liu Mang was stuck to the baseline by Howard, and took a step with his right foot. Howard immediately moved to the left to block Liu Mang from going around the baseline.

However, when Liu Mang stepped out, he grabbed the ball with his right hand at the same time. The combination of Dragic’s layup on the go and Iverson’s stepping layup with the same hands and feet that Dragic learned from Nash, Liu Mang has already used it very skillfully. He easily grabbed the ball while striding and threw it to the basket.

Again!

Liu Mang scored 4 points in a row!
"That's right, if you don't guard the basket, you won't be able to guard against me." Liu Mang continued to mock.

Howard was so aggrieved, he recalled the first time he met Liu Mang, obviously there was no place to provoke Liu Mang, NBA players, so unfriendly!
Others on the Magic team also saw that Howard was being targeted by Liu Mang, but they thought it was normal, Zhuangyuan Lang, it would be strange if he was not targeted.

Moreover, few players on the Magic team would comfort children. Instead, because Howard is the No. [-] pick, he wants him to learn about education. If he can’t learn it, it’s none of their business.

When it came time for the Magic to attack, Hill changed his strategy. He was too smart, and he saw it right away. His current strength was enough to play against Tracy McGrady or Kwame Brown. Therefore, he chose to hand the ball to the best player on the current team and let Raheem play face-to-face singles at close range.

McGrady immediately switched defenses with Kwame Brown, Kwame Brown went out to cut off the connection between Raheem and Hill, and Rasheed Wallace stayed at the basket.

Raheem received the ball in the middle distance, and McGrady defended cautiously. After having a more intuitive feeling for Raheem's cut, McGrady gave Raheem the right body contact, and did not give Raheem the opportunity to cut easily.

Rahim failed to change direction several times, so he took the initiative to stick to McGrady, squeezed a step, and made a strong jump shot!
No hit!
but!

Rasheed Wallace released Howard when he grabbed the rebound, and Howard stormed up and dunked the ball into the basket!

After making the dunk, Howard roared in Liu Mang's direction.

"I'm sick!" Liu Mang was baffled, completely forgot about his mocking Howard, and felt that there was something wrong with this guy.

It was time for the Eagles to attack again, and it was tied 4-4. Liu Mang continued to play singles.

Liu Mang continued to use Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll to cut to the basket.

Howard didn't believe that Liu Mang was so kind, but under Liu Mang's constant hints in his heart, Howard subconsciously did not stand out this time, but stood on the line of the reasonable collision zone. He was confident that this position could be blocked by anyone relying on his own bounce.

Howard didn't come out this time!
After Liu Mang cut a step, seeing Howard was under the basket, he immediately increased his speed to the fastest speed, and rushed straight to the free throw line, all the way to Howard!

Howard was a little confused: "That's not right! Why did you come in directly, there's no room here... Wow... FUXX..."

Howard saw Liu Mang who was about to rush into his arms, as if a jet was installed on his feet, Howard subconsciously raised his hand, was knocked back a bit, and then felt like a person was sitting on his chest...

The only thing Howard did well with this ball was that he didn't press forward and didn't foul...

But the action of surrender, as well as the scene of being dunked by a living person, gave the fans a strong visual impact!
The scene was detonated again!
Howard didn't know what happened, how could he be buckled?

"I told you! Be careful! There are liars in the NBA... By the way, I seem to have forgotten to tell you this sentence, I'm sorry." After Liu Mang finished speaking to Howard, he listened to the system's judgment that the task was completed, and turned back happily.

The aerial magician skill is put aside for now, the main thing is to grab Howard before Kobe, this feeling is really cool!

No one went up to comfort Howard. Even Francis, who was Howard's teammate, didn't trust anyone after being traded by the Rockets. He didn't comfort the new younger brother, let alone Raheem, who was originally cold.

Howard could only pick up the ball and send it to Nelson.

Because Raheem hit the basket too hard, the Eagles began to shrink the basket, Liu Mang and Prince both shrunk to the basket, Hill immediately passed to Mobley, and Mobley took the ball and directly shot a three-pointer... The first shot was decisive.

Rasheed Wallace took Howard too lightly and didn't try to get stuck, and Howard grabbed another offensive rebound!

Howard once again got a second chance to attack. After landing, he charged up and took off, smashing the ball to the basket with both hands...

"Get me down!"

Liu Mang was also ready to grab the rebound, but when he found that Rasheed Wallace was not in the right position, he rushed over and roared immediately, jumped up and slapped Howard's right hand, but the referee didn't blow it, because it was a player and Howard's two thugs covered the ball.

Howard dropped the ball and bounced on the backboard, and Rasheed Wallace defended the rebound this time.

"Hey, boy, is the NBA fun?" Liu Mang said to Howard with a smile.

Howard's fragile heart doesn't want to see Liu Mang: this guy is a devil...

Howard uttered the common aspiration of every rookie targeted by Liu Mang in the past two years.

Others didn't think that Liu Mang was too much, but thought it was too normal. Several of the No. [-] picks who started after the lockout were looked down upon by people, who felt that they were not worthy of such glory.

Other things can be changed, such as from a bottom player to a superstar, from a basic salary to a maximum salary, but there is one thing that can never be changed, that is, the draft pick!Therefore, it is certain that high-ranking rookies will be targeted when they enter the NBA.

It’s just that before the NBA’s income soared, the top picks were almost all after four years of college. The best players in the NCAA, such as Olajuwon, O’Neal, Duncan, and Iverson, entered the NBA. Players of all skill levels, people targeted them, but they were able to fight back.

Now it seems that everyone in the world is targeting rookies, just because the current No. [-] pick, even James and Yao Ming, are too good in their rookie seasons!

Rasheed Wallace passed the ball to Liu Mang, looked at the back of Howard who was back on defense, his eyes became fierce.

The first time was fine, but the second time, Rasheed Wallace did not expect that the No. [-] pick would be so active. He was completely incapable of offensive positioning and relied on grabbing offensive rebounds. He was originally only a physical man, but he did not expect such a good sense of rebounding, which made Rasheed Wallace envious and jealous.

Rasheed Wallace looked at Howard, and became ready to fight: It seems that playing the Magic has to be more serious.

Seeing that Liu Mang was having fun playing, McGrady felt overwhelmed and ran to the frontcourt to open up space. Suddenly, the ball came towards him!
"Tracy, play tactics, our core." Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt to open up space.

McGrady felt like he was going to explode in place!

You were so excited when you blocked the shot just now, and you still want to have fun. If you say you don’t want to play, you won’t play?

"What kind of team did I come to! The people in this team are so strange!"
