1612. A story that ends in light
It actually went from never being able to catch up to being 4 points ahead!
In less than two minutes, the Chinese team completed a desperate comeback!
Liu Mang scored 9 points in a row, plus a three-pointer passed to Wang Shipeng, and led the team to a 12-2 run in two minutes, from falling behind by 6 points to overtaking by 4 points!
And Liu Mang had another additional penalty!
Even if calling a timeout would give Liu Mang time to slow down his hit right hand and give Yao Ming time to take a breath, the U.S. team would have to call timeouts continuously.
Liu Mang only scored 39 points two minutes before the game time, and now he has 48 points!
48 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks...and an extra penalty!
It’s simply unreasonable!
Coach K felt a sense of fear coming from the depths of his soul.
After looking at Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson, who seemed to be very normal, Old Coach K looked at these two coaches who had coached Liu Mang and didn't know what to say. With players like this, are you worried about not winning a championship?
One wave after another, okay!
Old Coach K looked at his old friend Popovich, and it seemed that the old man didn't find it strange. Old Coach K silently felt sorry for Popovich, saying that he had to play against such an opponent every year...
Coach K cares most about the players of the US team. Due to various transactions, most of these people were originally Liu Mang's teammates, but now they have all become Liu Mang's opponents. Liu Mang just turned 26 today.
Years old, these best players in the United States will live in Liu Mang's shadow for years to come...
Substitute, substitute!
The U.S. team replaced Anthony and Kwame Brown with Kidd and James.
I have no choice but to gamble!
Even if Liu Mang hits the extra free throw, the point difference is only 5 points, 1 minute and 19 seconds. If he can counterattack defensively, he still has a chance!
We can only rely on outside pressure and defense to try to steal!
…
After the timeout, Liu Mang hit an extra free throw, 117 to 112, and the Chinese team led by 5 points.
In the past two minutes, except for Kobe Bryant who scored a long two-pointer, no one else scored, and the American team was beaten 13 to 2.
Little James was still useful at this time. Taking advantage of Yao Ming's lack of energy, James held the ball and ran over Wang Shipeng and rushed into the basket, causing Yao Ming to foul.
But one of two free throws...
With Yao Ming and Yi Jian co-blocking, Liu Mang heard the system prompt of one of two free throws. After James made the first free throw, Liu Mang waited for the moment when James hit the basket with his second free throw, and immediately jumped up.
Go in and jump up to grab the ball first.
James was stunned!
You don’t believe in your brother’s free throws so much?
But he immediately realized that this was not an All-Star game, Liu Mang was his opponent...
If James makes two free throws and reduces the point difference to 3 points, the US team can defend normally and have a chance to tie.
But James only made one of two free throws...
According to the old coach K's arrangement, after Liu Mang grabbed the rebound, Tracy McGrady, who was grabbing the rebound under the basket, immediately gave Liu Mang a hug from his former teammate, the kind that hugs him to death, a hug that contains factors other than the game.
…
Liu Mang moved his shoulders and elbows that were so painful from being hugged, and kicked McGrady's butt. McGrady smiled and said nothing. His national team seemed to be losing... What could he do if he couldn't beat him? From the second
After taking the lead at the end of the quarter, they led for more than 20 minutes, only to be defeated in less than three minutes. There was nothing McGrady could do!
The guy opposite is the strongest in the world! Maybe the strongest in the history of basketball!
Watching Liu Mang walk to the free throw line after exercising his body, the fans at the scene still shouted "MVP"!
It is true that Yao Ming is the scoring leader of the national team, and even the scoring leader of men's basketball in this Olympic Games. Even if Liu Mang scores 50 points in this game, he will not be able to overtake Yao Ming, who has averaged 25.5 points per game after eight games.
But...Liu Mang is still the basketball MVP in the eyes of the Chinese people!
Taking a deep breath, Liu Mang stepped to the free throw line and made his first free throw.
50 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists!
Liu Mang reaches 50 for the fourth time in his Olympic career!
The score difference is 5 points again!
There are 1 minute and 2 seconds left on the clock. If Liu Mang misses the second free throw and the point difference is only 5 points, the US team still has a faint hope of taking the lead again.
Seeing Liu Mang hit the first free throw and score 50 points, the top players from various countries watching the game on the sidelines didn't know what expressions to show.
Nash, O'Neal, Artest, Roy, Raheem, Carter, Parker...these NBA stars who did not play in this Olympics came to watch the game, Nowitzki, Ginobili, Calderon,
Gasol...all the NBA stars who played this game didn't know how to describe Liu Mang's strength.
too strong!
Because of Liu Mang's strength, the Chinese team...is number one in the world!
What is left for the American team is only a theoretical chance.
Although the American team still looks like they are determined to fight to the end, the stars watching the game know that this is just a theory...
Team USA has no hope!
The stars who came to watch the game, as well as the NBA stars who watched the live broadcast at home in their respective countries or cities, felt even more panic!
Whoever Liu Mang plays with looks so awesome!
Thinking of Liu Mang updating his teammates again, this may make it difficult for the Hawks to adjust. This time the Hawks' lineup adjustment is unprecedented, comparable to the balance between inside and outside after Raheem replaced Tracy McGrady in the summer of 2004.
The style of play has become a pure outside core style.
But this also makes the Eagles, which other teams have been relatively accustomed to in the past five or six years, completely different. If the Eagles can run in well, it will be a huge disaster for other teams!
And...this disaster seems to be foreseeable.
Liu Mang is so comprehensive. If he plays with the ball, he can win the assists title. If he plays without the ball, he can win the scoring title. To the extreme, no one would find it strange if he wins the scoring title and the assist title together.
And Liu Mang, who has been the MVP of five consecutive finals, just turned 26 today...
The Hawks seem to have the same trend of unification as the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls in the past!
It's not like the Lakers' three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century, but the feeling of long-term dominance!
The trend of unification also represents the current troubled times. After the Bulls and Lakers won three consecutive championships, a large number of stars have emerged in the NBA, and almost every team has a star.
The top nine in the Western Conference now have a large number of stars. Almost every team has two to three All-Star players, but other teams still have new young stars emerging.
This is an era when heroes rise together and stars shine brightly.
Such an era can undoubtedly be described as troubled times.
Being a part of troubled times, every star wants to be the king in troubled times.
But... Liu Mang came to the NBA with an invincible attitude. During his two-year rookie contract, he made two appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals, laid a solid foundation for the playoffs, and accumulated playoff experience. From the third grade onwards, he became unstoppable and swept everything.
!You can get the Finals MVP even if you don’t win the championship!
Seeing Liu Mang defeating the "Returning Dream Team" known as the second only to the Dream Team, what else can the other stars do?
When there is an era-level ruler who seems destined to dominate the history of basketball, or even a historical-level ruler of basketball, what others can do is to work hard to continue the troubled times and get a share of the pie.
Either join, or...just accept your fate!
If you really don’t want to join or accept your fate, then try your best and, like fleeting fireworks, bloom the most brilliant fireworks in this unified era!
As Liu Mang made two free throws, the score became 119 to 113. The Chinese team led by 6 points, which can be regarded as killing the hope of the American team!
In the last minute of the two teams, the American team failed to score a point. The Chinese team tried its best to defend the outside line. The opponent could score two points at will, but the Chinese team was not allowed to shoot three-pointers, which put the greatest defensive pressure.
The U.S. team finally fouled Yi Jianlian who grabbed the rebound. Yi Jianlian's two free throws did not affect the final outcome of the game. Before and after the foul on Yi Jianlian, with Kobe, Anthony, and Tracy McGrady each hitting three-pointers, the U.S. team also gave up.
Well, after Anthony was grabbed the rebound by Yao Ming, he did not continue to foul, there was no hope!
119 to 113, the Chinese team made a super reversal of 15 to 3 in the last three minutes!
As the final whistle sounded, Liu Mang's system prompt sounded...
"Ding... The style of a celebrity is upright and upright, so there is nothing to fear! Because the host led the team to win the Olympic gold medal, he was awarded the title of celebrity: the founder of Chinese basketball."
"The founder of basketball?"
This mission, which cost 100 million rogue points to come up with, had not come up in a year. Liu Mang was not surprised. The sudden appearance of a title reward shocked him!
I no longer even have the thought to celebrate crazily with my teammates.
However, Liu Mang looked expressionlessly into the "distance" with an empty look in his eyes, which made the US team players who were at a loss feel... too pretentious!
The NBA stars watching the game on the sidelines also felt that they were too pretentious!
"Be careful of being struck by lightning!"
This is the sentiment of many people present, including Chinese fans wearing "Special Edition Rogue League Chinese Team T-shirts."
Liu Mang was thinking about what "the founder of basketball" meant. He didn't know what kind of founder he was. He should be an older generation of basketball talents...
At this time, Director Zhang, who had obviously cried, took the microphone and returned to his hometown. He came to Liu Mang's side and began to interview Liu Mang, who was likely to win the men's basketball MVP in this game and the Olympic Games.
"Ace, congratulations to you, congratulations to us, and congratulations to our basketball, we won all the world championships!"
When Liu Mang heard this, he finally came to his senses and replied subconsciously: "Of course, I know we can win. The American team gave me the greatest pleasure."
"Ace, you know, because of you, Chinese basketball is different! We have entered a new era. You have redefined Chinese basketball. In the long years to come, you will be the new founder of Chinese basketball!"
Hearing this, accompanied by the flashing lights and colorful ribbons floating all over the arena... Liu Mang was stunned...
"What? So this is what the title refers to!"
Chapter completed!
