At the beginning, the offense of both teams came to a standstill... To say it was stagnant would be too embarrassing, the two teams simply stopped scoring!

For four whole minutes, neither team scored a point!

0 to 0!

Because the penalty standards were based on the playoff standards, the two teams did not commit any obvious fouls, not even free throws. In four minutes, neither team scored a point!

But it cannot be said that the two teams played poorly.

On the Eagles side, because Odom on the opposite side has become serious, no matter who he hits, he is misplaced. Odom is very different from other all-around insiders. His offensive starting position is like Dirk Nowitzki, and his breakthrough position is like Dirk Nowitzki.

LeBron James can pass the ball like Steve Nash, and he can do anything. That is to say, he is not as fast as LeBron James, his outside singles scoring is not as good as Dirk Nowitzki, and his teammates are not as good as Steve Nash.

Nash was able to move so well, and Liu Mang was actively shrinking toward the basket, so he was restrained by Kwame Brown.

Odom's only chance to pass the ball in isolation is to Fisher. Fisher can't be sure. He has averaged 40% three-point shooting rate per game so far in his career, and at his peak, it was over 4%.

He averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game with a field goal percentage of 11.3, but to say he was accurate... it was really embarrassing when he wasn't accurate. After all, when playing with Kobe and O'Neal, there were too many open spaces.

With a shooting percentage of 389%, it's really shameless to say that I am the point guard next to Kobe and O'Neal.

But Fisher's key shots are really good, and his three-pointers are also top-notch, which is very good. His three-point shooting percentage so far in his career is 40%. However, the Eagles switch defenses very quickly, and Fisher is overconfident. Every time he receives the ball,

The ball had to be shot despite being defended by McGrady or Prince. In four minutes, he made one mid-range shot and two open three-point shots after receiving the ball.

Kobe and Prince failed to score twice in isolation.

Odom and Yao Ming, two super-giant insiders, failed to make a mid-range shot against Kwame Brown. Yao Ming was blocked by Liu Mang. The Lakers made 0 of 8 shots in the beginning and scored 0 points!

The Hawks are the same as the Lakers. Originally, the Lakers were good at defense, conscious, capable, and capable. Now they have a coquettish Odom inside to help defend, and his mobility is like a stronger version.

Kevin Garnett, the key is that his mobility and flexibility are better than Garnett. Seriously, it's scary. Such a big guy can run around like a defender to help defend.

Both Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady continued to hit the ground running, and together they made 0 of 5 shots in the beginning. The Hawks made 0 of 7 shots and scored 0 points.

In the fourth minute, as Kobe hit the iron for the second time, Liu Mang collected his third rebound in the single quarter, and the Eagles called a timeout!

It's a lively game, but you can't score!

The opponent is a well-known blacksmith team, and now it feels like it has entered the opponent's rhythm. In the past, the Eagles used their rich experience in blind hits to drag the opponent into their own rhythm, and defeated the opponent with a few blind hits. Now it feels like they are about to be beaten.

The opponent's tendency to get into the opponent's rhythm.

Liu Mang called a timeout by Coach Kruger and returned to the bench with his teammates. He was also in pain. He just hit a three-pointer against Kobe, which was completely unreasonable. The impact on his right hand was still there when he blocked Yao Ming.

Very big.

Liu Mang made 0 of 3 shots in the beginning, and McGrady made 0 of 2 shots in the beginning. They complemented each other with the back line combination of Kobe and Fisher, and they were evenly matched...

Although there was no score, it was not boring for the fans to watch.

Odom is such a big man in singles and assisting defense. Liu Mang's intimidation of blocking shots at any time forces the Lakers to take more mid-range shots even if they can't block them. There is also Liu Mang's kind of bullying Yao Ming who doesn't dare to throw himself into the air.

Rebounding style…

The commentators on the imperial stage didn’t know what to say. Watching blocked shots and rebounds... were actually quite interesting...

…

Liu Mang returned to the bench and had no good solution to the situation in front of him.

I actually encountered the legendary Lakers in their ultimate form!

The current Lakers team has demonstrated all their theoretical talents.

It would be fine if they showed it on the offensive end, and it would be a big deal against the Biao offense, but they actually showed it on the defensive end, which is a headache for the Eagles.

Can't score!

The opponent's defense played so well that even the opponent's head coach Phil Jackson was surprised.

The Eagles coaching staff still only replaced Kwame Brown with Josh Smith to strengthen the defense of Odom, enhance the mobility of the forward, and save Kwame Brown's physical strength. Kwame Brown defended Odom.

My scalp was already fried. It was a good defense, but I was exhausted both mentally and physically.

As for the Eagles' coaching staff's thoughts on this game, they decided to leave it at that.

The Lakers, like the Eagles coaching staff, are at a loss.

Master Zen is very experienced in coaching superstars. When they can't start, just leave it to the superstars. But there are also times when superstars can't start. They were as strong as Jordan in his peak seasons of 86-87 and 95-96.

There were games with a shooting percentage of over 20% or even 10%. The most famous one was 2-for-17 shooting with an 11% shooting rate, which caused the 72-win Bulls to lose the ninth game of that season.

In the game, they lost to the Hornets, and there was also a game in which Payton defended him and shot more than 30% from the field, shooting 34 times and scoring 30 points.

When the superstars were unable to open up the situation, Jackson did not dare to rashly replace Wang Zhizhi, a better pitcher. Instead, he replaced Luke Walton with the defensive Devin George.

The goals of both teams are very clear. If the offense cannot be opened, let the stars take the lead. The foundation is defense!

The referee did not give a whistle for some physical contact. Both teams had the advantage on the defensive end, but were restrained on the offensive end. They could only play like this first.

…

…

After the timeout, the Eagles attack.

Liu Mang received Tracy McGrady's serve at the midline. After receiving the ball, he immediately rushed toward the basket. No matter how he rushed, Kobe did not expect Liu Mang to play like this, and Liu Mang passed him!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang rushed to the basket to meet Yao Ming's defense. He did not use his footsteps. He used his footsteps to give Odom the opportunity to shrink and attack. Before Odom could shrink,

Liu Mang grabbed the ball and jumped to avoid Kobe's pursuit. He leaned sideways and leaned on Yao Ming's left hook to shoot...

When Liu Mang changed hands, he couldn't guard against it. Yao Ming stretched his hand in the wrong direction, but Liu Mang's shot was a little missed. The ball hit the basket and bounced out, and Kobe was just in front of Kobe to defend the rebound.

Liu Mang also got angry. Kobe grabbed the defensive rebound and Kobe went directly to it, pressing the whole court!

Liu Mang's actions were a bit too rough, and the referee even put the whistle in his mouth.

Who knew that Kobe didn't rush out and cause Liu Mang to foul like ordinary players? Instead, he stomped his feet and stood firm. The referee signaled that the game should continue. Kobe protected the ball, gave the ball to Odom, and took the initiative to stick to Liu Mang.

Go forward.

Instead, Kobe took the initiative and did not give Liu Mang, Prince or Tracy McGrady a chance to switch defenses. Devin George and Fisher consciously ran towards the frontcourt quickly to prevent Liu Mang and his teammates from switching defenses.

Kobe arrived in the frontcourt and came to the high position on the left side of the three-second zone to squeeze Liu Mang for the ball.

Kobe made a lot of small moves on the offensive end. He threw an elbow at Liu Mang's chest. Liu Mang secretly cursed XXP, then pushed it with his chest and stretched his arms forward, trying to push Kobe behind him, but Kobe's explosive power or static

In terms of strength and weight, he was superior to Liu Mang. Iguodala had trouble facing Kobe. Liu Mang was even worse, being miserably pushed behind him.

When Odom met Josh Smith, he had fewer opportunities to break through compared to Kwame Brown. He moved to the top arc and lobbed the ball to Kobe, and then cut towards the basket.

When Liu Mang saw Kobe receiving the ball, he pressed forward even more ferociously. Kobe has long been accustomed to this type of defensive action in the playoffs and even in the finals. He has won more championships than Liu Mang has played in the finals.

If you want more, after receiving the ball, you turn right and pass Liu Mang cleanly!

Kobe couldn't guard against Liu Mang's turn, and Liu Mang couldn't guard against Kobe!

When Kobe turned around, he did not forget to elbow Liu Mang. Liu Mang was hit hard on the ribs and became even more excited. He quickly turned around and rushed towards Kobe like an arrow.

Kobe reached the bottom line on the left side of the three-second zone. He turned around and broke through too suddenly. Odom just came out from under the basket, and the two of them were blocked. Liu Mang pounced on him at this time. Kobe had no room to pass the ball.

No room to dribble!

At this time, Kobe grabbed the ball, bounced it backwards, and shot a negative-angle fadeaway jumper...

When Liu Mang pounced on him, Kobe had already thrown the ball. The ball flew diagonally from behind the backboard, flew over the backboard, and hit the basket!

"Ding... Because Kobe Bryant is in the best condition, characteristics: Kobe Time is triggered at level 5, and Kobe Bryant will enter a hot state within the next 5 minutes or within 5 shots."

The deadlock is finally broken!

As an opponent, Liu Mang was shocked by Kobe's shot.

Negative angle!

The release point and foot landing position are outside the baseline! You can make this shot!

What a blessing!

Watching Kobe Bryant proudly blowing his gun after scoring a goal, Liu Mang couldn't help but curse: "Isn't it just a goal? What's so great about 1-for-3 shooting... It does seem a bit remarkable, I'm 0-for-3...

…”

Liu Mang picked up the ball and sent it to Josh Smith. Just as Josh Smith was about to pass it back to Liu Mang who stepped onto the court, Liu Mang waved his hand and let Josh Smith dribble across the half court.

Looking at the big-butt lover opposite with a 95 ability rating, I wonder who doesn't have a younger brother who can dribble forward with a height of over 2.05 meters.

In the past two years, Josh Smith has improved the most in addition to assisting in defense and cutting in the air, passing the ball, and advancing the ball during counterattacks. After advancing to the frontcourt, Josh Smith also became more energetic when encountering Odom's defense.

He didn't notice Liu Mang asking for the ball, so he excitedly broke through towards the basket!

The breakthrough was quite powerful, Odom didn't even have to guard him, and Josh Smith broke into the paint.
Chapter completed!
