A young player and a high-ranking rookie, he beat the other two top point guards and was selected with the second overall pick. Felton entered the NBA with high spirits.

In the first dozen games after entering the NBA, his performance is not explosive, but it is not bad either. It is above the standard. Among the high-ranking rookie point guards since the new century, except for Paul, he is currently the best. Deron

Even when he was playing as a substitute for the Jazz, he couldn't compare to him.

So Felton is still very confident in himself. In addition, Jordan said that Felton has the same talent as him and Carter. Felton also believed it. The goal of this game is to challenge Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang struck hard in the first attack!

Felton took Rebrasha's hand and climbed up. He has been playing basketball for so many years. He has been the most dazzling star, the hero of the school, and the hero of the city since junior high school. But in the NBA, they are all adults and veterans, because

The Bobcats were responsible for giving victory to the strong teams in the beginning. The opponents' point guards that Felton played in these 13 games were all better than him. How could he have ever suffered such injustice? In the NCAA, he eliminated the No. 1 player in the NCAA at the time.

Point guard Deron Williams thought he would be able to dominate the NBA after entering the NBA as the second overall pick.

But now, I am being abused all the time.

Felton, who had already reached the critical point, was completely angered by Liu Mang's humiliating dunks and words!

"I want to explode! I want to win!" Felton finally served and advanced towards the front court. He wanted to beat Liu Mang in singles!

Gerald Wallace arrived in the frontcourt and McGrady sat inside asking for the ball, but Felton wouldn't give it to him!

Okafor wanted to pick and roll, but Felton waved him away. He wanted to play in singles!

Young people are so angry.

Liu Mang was guarding the top arc. When he saw Felton coming, he immediately followed him.

Felton tried to use his strong body to squeeze Liu Mang away... but failed...

Wanting to change direction and pass Liu Mang...Liu Mang always moved one step faster to the direction of his change of direction. Felton took a long time to dodge, but was one step further away from the three-point line!

Looking at Liu Mang's not particularly strong body, Felton was about to explode on the spot. How could he have the strength to stop him?

Liu Mang has been waiting for Felton to have a loophole in his dribbling. Felton's ball control is very stable, as stable as his stable data. Liu Mang is not in a hurry. If Felton wants to pass the ball, he will not care and will not let it go.

Felton to comfort zone.

Felton's comfort zone is the area inside and outside the top arc three-point line extending from the free throw line. It is the only area where Felton's shooting rate exceeds the league average and is considered excellent. Felton's breakthrough point is also

Concentrate on those locations.

Felton changed directions continuously and was unable to escape Liu Mang's defense. He had no choice but to retreat and use a pick-and-roll.

At this time, Liu Mang finally showed his defensive aggressiveness! When Felton raised his foot to retreat, Liu Mang pushed him hard with his chest. Felton was staggered and his dribbling was crooked.

Suddenly, Liu Mang stretched out his long arms and touched the ball first when Felton bounced the ball!

He poked the ball forward directly!

Liu Mang and Felton both fell to the ground. Liu Mang jumped out like a four-legged animal, caught the ball first, got up and sprinted forward!

After delaying this moment, Gerald Wallace and Bogans had already chased him out. When Liu Mang pushed forward and sprinted, since there was no one in front, he could not trigger the solo riding skill, and was caught by Gerald Wallace.

The soldiers followed closely behind.

Liu Mang didn't stop and rushed directly towards the basket.

Gerald Wallace followed Liu Mang and did not rush to take action. He waited like a cheetah for Liu Mang to make a shooting move. Since the beginning of the game, he has averaged 3 steals and 2.5 blocks per game. Last season, Jay also averaged 2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game.

Ladd Wallace, there are countless examples of successful pursuit defense!

Seeing Liu Mang rush to the free throw line, grab the ball and jump forward, Gerald Wallace also jumped high, ready to block, but...Liu Mang passed the ball in the air

Throw it to the back of your head!

Gerald Wallace saw the ball flying over his head and reached out to intercept it, but was unable to stop it.

Aerial magician!

This time Liu Mang's aerial magician triggered a positive effect and led the team with the ball. Tracy McGrady followed up and saw Liu Mang's action. He jumped up without hesitation and caught the ball over Gerald Wallace's head.

Gerald Wallace, who jumped out in front, smashed the ball into the basket! At the same time, it gave Gerald Wallace, who was pushing forward, a new impact, knocking Gerald Wallace out.

The bottom line hit the sponge of the basket frame and stopped!

Liu Mang, on the other hand, had already landed and ran away. He didn't jump high when he jumped, but jumped out in a long jump, landed quickly, and ran away quickly.

4-0! The Eagles led by 4 points at the start.

Death Wrap coupled with a counter-attack alley-oop pass to guide Tracy McGrady to dunk. Liu Mang's defense and attack fully demonstrated his strength in first and second defense.

The Hawks started with Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady each dunking each other. Each one was more powerful than the other, and the scene was abuzz!

Felton was completely toyed with by Liu Mang and was applauded. He could not break through and had no space to shoot. The strength he was most proud of, even if the stocky figure of 1.85 meters and 93 kilograms had a strength of 85, it was only as strong as

Liu Mang is evenly matched, but because he is short and stocky, there is no way to compare with Liu Mang. He is eight centimeters shorter in height, and more than ten centimeters in wingspan...

Felton suffered consecutive defeats against Liu Mang at the beginning.

On Liu Mang's side, the offensive end was much more normal than in the previous game. Generally speaking, he played in the third quarter of the previous game. He scored when he should score and passed when he should pass. He scored 9 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, leading the Eagles in a single quarter.

While scoring 27 points, he also defended Felton, making 0 of 5 shots and making 3 turnovers!

Among them, Liu Mang made two head-on steals!

After playing a full quarter, he had 0 points, 1 assist, 3 turnovers, and 0 of 5 shots. This meant that Bickerstaff had to give time for Felton, Jordan's second pick, to play, otherwise he would have been replaced long ago.

Liu Mang scored 9 points and 3 assists. He did not hold the ball as much as in the last game. McGrady had the opportunity to choose to shoot or pass the ball after receiving the ball. Iguodala, Korver, and Josh-

Smith also has scores or assists that are not caused by Liu Mang's passes. Liu Mang is looking for a balance point.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the first quarter, the Eagles led 27 to 19, leading by 8 points.

…

In the second quarter, Bobcats substitute point guard Brevin Knight came on the court.

Brevin Knight averaged 9 assists per game last season, ranking fourth in the league. He thought he would get a big contract in the summer, but no team wanted him. Instead, boss Joe gave him 9 million over two years to stay on as a substitute.

After he came on the field, the Bobcats' offense improved slightly and they were able to generate assists. Moreover, they have averaged 8 assists in 27 minutes per game so far this season. This at least proves that when he holds the ball a lot, the ball passed out is

If it can be converted into points, the Bobcats' offense is more organized. The two stars Gerald Wallace and Okafor have better offensive opportunities. They no longer only rush for offensive rebounds and themselves like they did in the first quarter.

I am so tired from playing with the ball that I occasionally have the opportunity to catch the ball and attack the basket directly.

Liu Mang held less of the ball after Jason Terry came up in the second quarter.

The normal way of playing is to pass the ball when teammates need it. This is a strategy Liu Mang found when he watched McGrady organize the offense. Last season, McGrady also immediately gave the ball to Jason Terry when he needed to hold the ball.

I won’t say that I have always held it.

It seems impossible to let McGrady teach and learn from experience, but it is still possible to learn from some of McGrady's habits.

With a successful example, a historical assist teacher Wang and a fully supportive head coach, Liu Mang's change of play has a good foundation, as long as it is not as shaky as the first half of the Warriors game.

When Jason Terry came up, he took the ball and just did it. Today, Jason Terry's touch was average. He played for more than 8 minutes and scored 7 points. In the process, Liu Mang broke through once and scored two points.

There was also a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll for Jason Terry, scoring 5 points and 1 assist.

The Eagles failed to widen the point difference during the second quarter. When the Eagles called timeout in the eighth minute, they led the Bobcats by 8 points, 43 to 35.

Gerald Wallace's explosion was the key. He scored 10 points in eight minutes to help the Bobcats hold on to the situation. Brevin Knight had 4 assists in eight minutes, two of which were from Gerald Wallace.

Contributed by Laish.

When his teammates are in good shape, Blevins Knight's assists are soaring.

…

With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, coach Kruger called a timeout and replaced the lineup with Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace.

This lineup is the most efficient lineup when Liu Mang holds the ball and attacks. It can attack, run and defend. Coach Kruger wants to widen the point difference before halftime and establish a victory.

For the Bobcats, Felton was replaced again. Bickerstaff had to let Felton adapt to adult basketball.

The lineup of Felton, Kareem Rush, Gerald Wallace, Sean May, and Okafor came on.

When Felton came off the field in the first quarter, he had truly realized how big the gap between himself and Liu Mang was. He did some mental training on the sidelines, calmed down, and prepared to go up and fight hard.

Felton firmly believes that he will get better and better as he fights, and the guy on the opposite side will probably not stare at him like before. After all, there is no threat!

Felton recognized the gap between himself and Liu Mang and faced it squarely.

However, Liu Mang did not receive the serve. After Iguodala received McGrady's serve, Liu Mang came to the left side of the free throw line and leaned on Felton to ask for the ball.

Iguodala passed the ball to Liu Mang, who quickly turned left, left Felton behind, and stepped on the sideline of the three-second zone to break through inside.

At this time, Iguodala passed the ball to Liu Mang and cut in from the middle. Kareem Rush, who was defending Iguodala, immediately came over to block Liu Mang. Liu Mang distributed the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala

La received the ball and jumped toward the basket. Okafor pounced on it. Iguodala's purpose of jumping was not to shoot. He was preparing to attract the defense and pass the ball.

Iguodala flicked his wrist and passed the ball behind Okafor. Kwame Brown received the ball, raised the ball with his left hand and pushed the ball toward the backboard, hitting the ball!

Felton is so desperate! The defense can't defend him at all!

The defensive end was desperate, and Felton was ready to play hard offensively. He felt that Liu Mang had ignored him, so he would probably relax his defense.

But……

Felton advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Mang defended more actively than before.

The Eagles only scored 43 points with more than three minutes left in the second quarter, which was much lower than their season average performance. Mainly because the Bobcats' defense is really good, especially in the paint, which requires height and height and rebounds.
