"ah……"

Liu Mang was slapped on the floor, let out a scream, and got two free throws.

There are performances that make the scene exaggerated, but his screams are not entirely exaggerated.

Just now, Liu Mang struggled to use Boozer's pick-and-roll to get to the basket, and also used Kwame Brown's threat to deceive O'Neal away. However, O'Neal slapped Liu Mang on the right shoulder when he had no chance to block the shot.

, directly destroyed Liu Mang's coming up, and even slapped Liu Mang to the ground.

That is to say, this person is Liu Mang. Others who were slapped on the floor like this have small painful injuries. It is estimated that there is no way to treat them. They can only use ice to recover the minor bruises, and they can only endure the pain.

.

When Liu Mang was slightly injured, he immediately used primary injury potion and 500 superstar points to heal the injury.

However, Liu Mang's performance was very exaggerated, but this was the home court of the Lakers. Although O'Neal's actions were a bit excessive, the referee still only gave him a shooting foul.

There was no flagrant foul or technical foul, so Liu Mang could only hold Kwame Brown's hand to stand up angrily and walk to the free throw line.

Seeing Liu Mang, who screamed miserably just now, but immediately acted as if nothing was wrong, the fans at the scene gave him bursts of boos.

It's not that Liu Mang doesn't want to continue to act miserable, but he has tried it several times, and the referee's bias towards the Lakers remains the same. Liu Mang didn't receive many home whistles at home. It can only be said that at home, the referee's whistles were very harsh.

Fair, and in the away game, it may still be considered fair, but for the Lakers' rough actions, the referees just gave them ordinary fouls!

Liu Mang's current idea is to cheat if he can get a heavy penalty. If he can't cheat, forget it. Adjust his mentality and body and shoot free throws well.

Now the Eagles only rely on his free throws!

…

From the beginning of the game, the Lakers' style of play made the Eagles' preparations look like fools.

The Eagles have defensive expert Mike Woodson, tactician Lon Kruger, future tactician Liu Mang, and playmaker John Stockton with 20 years of experience.

The Lakers also have a group of outstanding coaching staff, and the most outstanding among them is the nine-time championship coach who is tied for the first place in NBA history, Phil Jackson!

It’s not that there is anything wrong with Coach Kruger’s conservative tactics, but that Jackson is too experienced. When trailing 0-2, the head coach who gave up his advantage first at the beginning of the third game was probably Zen Master.

Dare to do it alone!

With a 2-0 lead, Coach Kruger prepared to use defense to make conservative tactical choices in the third game. There was no problem. If it was the Zen Master ten years ago, he would have done the same, and he really did so.

, and did so while leading 2-0 on the road.

The 1992-93 season was the Bulls' first three consecutive championships and the most difficult one. Their record that season was only third in the league with 57 wins, while their opponent in the finals, the Suns, had 62 wins. However, the Bulls relied on

The fierce offense, relying on Jordan's 31 7 5 in the first game, Pippen's 27 9 5 in the first game, and Jordan's 42 12 9 in the second game, won two consecutive away games.

When Jackson returned to the home court at that time, he chose the same conservative strategy as Coach Kruger, playing defense, but he made a complete mistake. The Suns won two of the three home games, and the only one they won was by God Jordan.

He went down to earth and scored 55 points in the finals. He raised his average score in the finals to over 40 points before winning a home court and only won by six points. It was thanks to Jordan's last 11 points that he won six points.

point.

But now Zen Master already has rich experience in winning championships, and can easily judge the strategy that Coach Kruger will choose.

Coach Kruger wanted to use defense to deal with the Lakers, but the Lakers did not attack from the beginning. The Lakers were manipulated by Zen Master and made them play a crazy-dog defense like five little blacksmiths on the field.

, Coach Kruger wanted to use defense to deal with the Lakers, but his own offense was destroyed by the Lakers first!

The shooting percentages of the players of both teams were extremely low from the beginning. In the first half, O'Neal's shooting percentage was only 43%. The overall shooting percentage of both teams was less than 40%.

Under such circumstances, even though O'Neal began to decline in physical fitness after hitting a few powerful shots, and he could no longer spend too much energy on the offensive end to maintain defense, but they had Kobe!

Use his rich blacksmithing experience to defeat his opponents. At this point, Liu Mang is not as good as Kobe.

The two teams were defensive in the first half. At the end of the half, the Eagles only scored 31 points, but the Lakers did not do particularly well, scoring 33 points. The two teams combined for less than 70 points at halftime.

!Not at the same level as the first two games!

When the shooting percentage of both teams dropped below 40% due to defense, Kobe's 38% mid-range shooting percentage in the first half today seemed extremely impressive!

When the Eagles encountered completely unexpected circumstances, there were also problems with the choices they made. During the halftime break, coach Kruger chose to abandon the previous strategy and sent Stoke in the third quarter.

The offensive combination of Dayton, Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown.

However, the Lakers still maintained a high-intensity defense, and because of Malone and Payton, the two returned to the home court to show their strength on the defensive end. The pick-and-roll cooperation of Stockton and Boozer on the Eagles' side was restricted.

Already.

On the other hand, the Lakers relied on Kobe and O'Neal. Although the Eagles' defense was above the league average, it was far behind the league's best defense in the first half.

Far away, Kobe was suddenly liberated, giving O'Neal enough rest time to challenge the Hawks alone.

As for the Hawks, Liu Mang was forced to swoop his arms and rush inside to cause damage. The outside line was blocked. The Lakers wanted Liu Mang to go inside. Facing the iron wall of Malone and O'Neal, Liu Mang could only

Can throw himself into the air again and again.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this stage, the Eagles can still rely on Liu Mang's scoring threat in the second game, giving Liu Mang many opportunities to draw fouls.

…

Liu Mang stood on the free throw line, ignored the boos and insults from the fans next to the basket, and steadily made two free throws. He already scored 14 points in the single quarter.

The Eagles barely allowed the Lakers to widen the point difference in the first eight minutes of the third quarter. Liu Mang scored 14 points in these eight minutes, and the Eagles scored 19 points as a whole, but Kobe Bryant also scored for the Lakers.

At 12 points, he also sent 4 assists, helping the Lakers score 24 points. The Hawks were already seven points behind, 50-57.

Then in the last four minutes, O'Neal took the intermission and during the eight minutes he only had to be responsible for defense and catching and dunking after Kobe broke through and attracted a double-team. He finally regained his strength, and the Sharks began to wreak havoc!

In the last four minutes, O'Neal's offensive and defensive ends resumed the madness at the beginning of the first quarter. He blocked three shots in 4 minutes, and also crushed Ostertag, who was substituted by the Eagles when Liu Mang made a free throw, and made a strong dunk.

, one catch and dunk, two hooks, 8 points in a row!

The Lakers only scored 8 points in the last four minutes, but thanks to O'Neal's crazy defense, the Eagles only scored 4 points. After three quarters, the Eagles were 11 points behind, 54 to 65!

The Eagles, like dominoes, controlled the game from the beginning. They made every wrong move, failed step by step, and retreated step by step.

Seeing the 11-point difference, Liu Mang endured it and still did not choose to use the random star card of Iverson or the strongest point guard of the era.

My own side has been completely suppressed. If I force a wave at this time, there is a high probability that I will not be able to reverse the current situation. From the beginning of the game, the Lakers' good momentum and unexpectedly fierce defense have already put my own side at risk.

Even if the player is suppressed, the timing of using the star card also depends on it. If you insist on using it at the wrong time, you will most likely waste a valuable superstar star card.

Liu Mang had already learned a lesson when he played for the Nets last season. He did not grasp the timing of using star cards, which resulted in wastage. When he needed to use them, there were no suitable star cards available.

Just as Liu Mang expected, O'Neal, who had not shown enough power in the last four minutes of the third quarter, was angry with losing the first two games. Kobe also suppressed his wild shots because of the losses in the first two games.

His stubbornness has never been triggered, and he devoted all his efforts to the defensive end. When he needed to hit the waves, he started to hit the waves. When he didn't need to, he resisted the desire to shoot while holding the ball.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, O'Neal scored 6 points in a row, and the Lakers continued to maintain defensive pressure. However, for the Eagles, the momentum of this game had been knocked out. They were led by the opponent throughout the game, and the Lakers started the game.

After a 6-0 victory, the point difference was widened to 17 points.

At this point, the Lakers side established the victory of the game. The Eagles themselves did not insist on defense in the third quarter and were widened by the Lakers. Now they want to tighten up, but there is no other way. The Lakers side is because they want to

Winning their first win in the finals bolstered their defensive momentum.

Liu Mang could only rely on himself in the fourth quarter. He made 4 of 13 in a single quarter and had no three-point opportunities. The opponent just let him break through. He also scored 12 points in a single quarter, two mid-range shots, one layup and one

There were dunks and 4 of 6 free throws, but the Hawks only scored 15 points in the final quarter. Except for Liu Mang, everyone else had open shots because they were too guarded in the first three quarters, and their touch was gone.

The Lakers maintained their 15-point lead until the end!

In the end, Kobe scored 26 points with a shooting percentage of 39%, and O'Neal scored 31 points with a shooting percentage of 44%. The key is that he made 9 of 14 free throws today, which was accurate.
