From today on is the king

Chapter 497.
After the timeout, the Eagles attacked and sent out a lineup of Jason Terry, Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Ratliff.

The Kings did not make any substitutions and continued to field their strongest lineup.

The Eagles played the ball in the frontcourt, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Christie defended him.

Seeing Boozer, a very popular rookie who can play mid-range shots, low-post singles, and efficient pick-and-rolls, Christie is a little nervous. If Boozer and Liu Mang open mid-range shots, it will be difficult to defend against pick-and-rolls, just like the Utah Shuangsha.

In the two months that Liu Mang and Boozer have cooperated, due to the increase in pick-and-roll play, they gradually gained the nickname of "Two Devils of Atlanta and Big Brother".

However, the Kings' defensive cohesion is very strong, Christie is very focused on pick-and-roll and switch defenses, Webber follows Boozer, and the two are ready.

However, just when the Kings saw the lineup sent by the Eagles and were ready to guard against Liu Mang and Boozer, the nicknamed "Little Shuangsha" duo, playing a pick-and-roll, Jason Terry ran to the top arc and Liu Mang passed the ball.

The Kings are a bit off!

Why is it different from what you imagined?
After Liu Mang gave the ball to Jason Terry, he took Christie to the inside and took a step to the left sideline of the three-second zone. Jason Terry came to the left 45-degree angle to hold the ball and pulled Bibby away. Prince came to the left bottom corner and pulled Peja away.

Liu Mang stepped down, and the others opened up the most space!

What are the Eagles doing?
The Kings players and all the fans at the scene widened their eyes. Seeing Liu Mang leaning on Christie to ask for the ball after his teammates settled down, could it be...

Just as everyone's eyes widened, Jason Terry passed the ball to Liu Mang who wanted the ball from the low post!

hell?

Liu Mang wants low post singles?
If it’s regular time, it’s okay. Liu Reck can try the ability that he hasn’t shown before. It’s justified. After practicing the skills, don’t you have to use the game to test the effect?

Liu Mang's strength has improved significantly this year, his weight and muscles have increased, and his jumping has also increased a lot, so if he wants to develop back shots, the fans will not be surprised, but this is the first time he uses it at a critical moment when he is behind by 2 points with [-] minutes left. Fans think Liu Mang is crazy!
However, the fans may not have many speakers, because Liu Mang rarely played low post singles, just one time, at the end of last season when the Eagles played against the Spurs, Liu Mang forced "soft guy" Stephen Jackson.

Fans were not impressed by this matter, but Christie, who had carefully studied Liu Mang, was deeply impressed!Liu Reck's explosive power has always been very strange. Back then, when there was no bounce, he insisted on dunking opponents. Now he is still the dunk king. Christie is very afraid of Liu Reck's strong attack.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he turned his body sideways, leaned his left shoulder on Christie, felt the strength behind him, and saw Christie lowering his center of gravity, Liu Mang felt that there was something going on!

Liu Mang summoned up all his muscles, the veins on his neck popped out, his left shoulder left Christie's body, his left foot bent, his body squatted halfway, his right foot kicked on the ground, and his right hand slapped the ball hard on the ground...

Liu Mang was full of posture, an O'Neill-style bulldozer stance, and Christie lowered his center of gravity as much as possible, ready to meet Liu Mang's brutal impact on Stephen Jackson.

but!

After Liu Mang took the racket out, the ball bounced under Liu Mang's raised right foot. Before Liu Mang kicked his right foot on the ground, he swung it to the right. With his left foot as the axis, he turned right!
Christie woke up suddenly, the other party didn't want to force her!It's playing dirty!
but!

Christie lowered her center of gravity and puffed up her muscles, completely standing still!When Christie stood up and went to defend Liu Mang, Liu Mang's speed suddenly accelerated, and he rushed into the three-second zone with a big stride. Divac heard the exclamation of the fans at the scene.

Liu Mang turned around, passed Christie, strode into the three-second zone, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, swung it in the air, and smashed it into the basket!
Divac became the background!
Liu Mang's low position turned around and surpassed others!
The fans at the scene couldn't help exclaiming, Divac didn't expect that Christie would be passed by Liu Mang in the low post, and he didn't even have a chance to defend him!

Christie felt her face was burning hot, and she was completely unguarded at this critical moment!Especially seeing Divac's bewildered and complaining eyes, Christie felt that the game experience was too bad!

This guy is a monster!Genius is not enough to describe!
It's not that Christie doesn't know how to prevent turns, but that he never expected Liu Mang to turn around so quickly in a low position!
Back playing is not something that can be used well in a day or two. It takes a long time to practice and practice in order to get better and better.

Although Christie paid more attention to Liu Mang's back hitting than fans and many players, but he only paid attention to Liu Mang's sudden and violent impact. He thought Liu Mang was going to play a sudden and strong one, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to follow the technical flow!

The quick turns, smooth transitions, and irritable dunks are as skillful as they have been done countless times. How can it be used for the first time in a game?
Surprisingly easy!
Liu Mang didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, and immediately turned back to defend.

He knew that the ball was too lucky!
Liu Mang never expected that Christie would use that posture to defend himself, just like a girl struggling to resist her body being violated, tightening her muscles, Liu Mang turned around and passed Christie.

The key point for Liu Mang to do is to get rid of the opponent's defense, as long as he gets rid of it, everything will be easy.

The subsequent rush after the turn, which was so swift that Christie couldn't keep up at all, could be triggered!
“低位背身技巧5级：落低位背身单打成功转身过掉对手后，速度+5、弹跳+5、中投+5、篮下出手影响裁判吹罚几率增加20.00%五；落低位背身单打后撤步摆脱对方防守时，中投能力+5，弹跳+5。”

In the previous few days of training, Liu Mang practiced some turnaround jump shots.

But this thing is really difficult to practice. The 180-degree turn when turning over often makes Liu Mang dizzy, so he has to practice slowly. When his head is a little dizzy, Liu Mang will switch sides and come to the left to practice turning.

However, Liu Mang didn't find out whether it had the effect of counteracting the feeling of dizziness, but relying on the opponent's turn, it was much easier than bumping into the opponent's turnaround jump shot.

In addition, Liu Mang didn't make a mid-range shot in the first 2 minutes, and Liu Mang felt a bit unreliable when he turned over and made a mid-range jumper. To be on the safe side, he was promoted to level 5 with low post-up skills, not turning over jumpers!
Liu Mang sacrificed and developed a little bit of back hitting to try, but he didn't expect the effect to be good!The opponent didn't know why he made an extremely wrong choice. Whether Liu Mang wanted to turn around or turn over and jump shot, Liu Mang had perfect opportunities. Liu Mang chose to cut to the basket and completed the dunk.

Christie is also desperate!He didn't expect that Liu Mang's low position was more than strong.

Because Liu Mang has never used this trick before!So Christie didn't think that Liu Mang would use other back-hitting tricks at all.

Because the core of the team who can post up, whether it is inside or outside, is very popular in any era. Post up represents the lethality of scoring, can attract double-teams, and has a good vision of distributing the ball.

And Liu Mang, as the core playmaker of the Eagles, has never used back shots, so Christie naturally will not defend against the kind of tricks that the opponent "won't".

Christie has an inexplicable feeling - this kid is targeting their Kings!This kind of killing move is actually specially reserved to deal with them!

The Eagles players were also extremely shocked. They didn't expect this seemingly unreliable style of play to be really effective!

Rahim was shocked to see that Liu Mang's explosive charge after turning around was faster than his most acclaimed short-distance acceleration, and he was completely dissatisfied with Liu Mang's replacement of him.

Nima, this little brother is a monster!

Raheem recalled that Liu Mang asked himself for turning skills during training two days ago, and he taught him for a while, and this little brother used it at such an important and critical moment of the game!And with that explosive speed and bounce, Rahim didn't feel inferior to him!Even if the opponent's inside defense is in place, it is very likely to draw a foul!
Rahim was excited and smiled wryly: who is the boss and who is assisting whom!The younger brother is almost stronger than the boss!

The Kings were taken aback by Liu Mang's low-post ability. With a sense of crisis, Bibby rushed to the frontcourt, wanting to play one himself.

Liu Mang is close to Bibby. Liu Mang just dunked one and brought up the overall morale of the Eagles. The fancy dunk is level 5. After the fancy dunk is completed in the game, the morale of the team reaches the highest level in the game. If the morale is already high, the high morale state will be extended for one round.

Liu Mang himself is also a member of the Eagles. His perfect turn and dunk with a small windmill inspired himself, and his enthusiasm reached the highest state of the game.

Bibby was very uncomfortable with Liu Mang's oppressive clinging. Liu Mang's strong physical confrontation, the referee did not call a foul. At critical moments, as long as it was not an obvious foul, the referee seldom whistled to affect the game.

The Kings were very happy to encounter such a whistle this year. Their defense is not clean, and their small moves are more confrontational. They are usually very energetic when dealing with their opponents, but now, Bibby hates that the defense of their game has become loose, because he has become a victim!
Bibby had no choice but to pass the ball to Christie.

After Christie received the ball, his mind was full of the bad game experience just now, and he wanted to pay Liu Mang back.

Christie has no offensive ability with the ball, and it is difficult to beat Jason Terry with the ball. Therefore, after receiving the ball, Christie directly shoots a three-pointer!
Jason Terry tried to interfere as much as possible, and it really succeeded. Christie made a three-pointer!

Seeing that someone made a shot, the Kings retreated directly. This is their core strategy to prevent the Eagles from counterattacking. Liu Mang grabbed the fifth rebound of the game and scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Advance to the frontcourt again, continue to do the same, pass the ball to Jason Terry, and he falls to the low position on the left side of the basket.

Christie had a strong sense of defense, she turned half of her body sideways to block the baseline where Liu Mang turned around just now.

Christie doesn't know if Liu Mang will make other low post moves, but he is a good defensive player, and his colleague is a defensive player with high defensive literacy. It is enough to defend the skills that the opponent has shown.

To be honest, for a coach, he prefers a pragmatic defensive player like Christie, rather than a player who often makes amazing magical defenses, because players who often have magical steals and unexpected defenses are often caught by the opponent more often.

But relatively, defensive players of Christie's type often fail to attract the attention of fans.

Liu Mang watched Christie's defensive action, turned left decisively, and walked from the upper line. Christie stepped up to delay Liu Mang's movement after turning around.

Seeing Liu Mang entering the basket in this position, Divac didn't have to worry about being too far away from the defense and being hit by Ratliff, and took a step up to block Liu Mang.

It can block Liu Mang in the front and Ratliff in the back. Divac's prediction is great.

At this time, Peja and Bibby were also going outside around Prince and Jason Terry to prevent them from receiving the ball.

but……

Liu Mang threw the ball to the rear right, and Divac, who was facing Liu Mang head-on, had a question mark in his head, what is this for?Random pass?
But at this moment, Boozer appeared in the top corner on the right side of the free throw line, received the ball and made a mid-range shot!
"Swish"

Boozer lived up to Liu Mang's expectations and hit a jumper from the free throw line after catching the ball!

30+5+5！刘莽拿到了30+5+5的数据！
At the same time, the Eagles tied the score 100-100!

The Eagles tied!

However, Adelman once again stood on the sidelines roaring, but the Kings have no timeout!Otherwise, Adelman, who pays so much attention to offense, called a timeout as early as the scoring shortage. The main reason is that the Eagles played a few games with various tactical changes in the first three and a half quarters of today's game.
57 seconds left!
The Kings attacked. This time, Bibby and Peja came up with an outside pick-and-roll and passed the ball to Peja. Liu Mang switched defenses and stuck close to Peja. Peja made a strong three-pointer!
However, when the Eagles were attacking, Prince hadn't made a shot for too long. When Peja went up to double-team Liu Mang in the low post, Prince received the ball and didn't make a three-pointer.

A group of people in the Kings are not good at playing key shots, and there is only one person.

The critical moment is still only relying on him - Mike Bibby!

After Bibby came over, he saw that Webb was almost unable to move. After all, he was 30 years old. Peja was stuck to death by the lanky rookie Prince, and Christie was in an impulsive state again. Bibby decided to come by himself!

The Kings team opened up, and Bibby was not afraid of Liu Mang's close defense. After taking a strong step, he retreated and stepped back to shoot a jumper!

The crucial moment is still Bibby!

With 18 seconds left, Bibby made a step-back from Liu Mang and made a long-range shot from the three-point line, giving the Kings a two-point lead!

The Eagles called the last timeout!
After coach Kruger immediately called a timeout, Liu Mang didn't feel any extra excitement when he saw that Bibby's hit might be a quasi-lore. He tidied up his hair and took him back to the bench. He really felt that Webber might be the strongest in this Kings team.

But the guy who was the most neglected, hit countless key goals, never entered the All-Star but was the last of the five tigers of the Kings, the most gorgeous team in history, to leave, may be the real soul of this Kings team, the toughest player.

Never stealing the limelight, if it was Peja, the ball scored would definitely show the heroism of their Yugoslavs, maybe they would dance, but Bibby just adjusted his hair band, just like every lore in the past, celebrating by himself with movements that are difficult for others to discover, silently enjoying the carnival of one person, the carnival of the heart.

But people nowadays don't realize that Bibby's celebration is "inadvertently" tidying up her hairband, but Liu Mang knows it!
This is the beginning of celebrating the lore?
Liu Mang is really upset!18 seconds left!
Liu Mang returned to the bench and once again took the tactical board.

Coach Kruger can't do anything now. Suddenly, Liu Mang has a new ability. Among all the tactics he planned, there is no point guard's low-post single play, so now he simply gave the command to Liu Mang.

"Sherif, you replace Carlos. Sherif, you bottom line. I break through you and run back, ready to catch the ball for a dunk or rush for a rebound. Jason, Tyshawn, open up space and be ready to catch the ball and shoot. Theo, you go to the basket to block people..." Liu Mang drew the tactical board in a mess, but the players were used to it.Did you play well in the low post just now?
And Rahim burst into tears in his heart. Sure enough, the younger brother still remembered himself as the boss, and replaced himself when the lore was over.

On the other side, the Kings bench.

"Pay attention to the double-teaming. When Liu is in the low post, Peja you go to double-team. Mike and the others should rotate quickly. When Prince is open, pay attention to changing defenses..." Adelman emphasized the double-teaming, and began to arrange possible lore shots. Because they didn't have a timeout, they can only arrange together at this time: "If you defend, protect the rebound. If you don't defend, pass the ball to Peja..."

Sure enough, at the critical moment, Adelman still gave the chance of the lore to Peja, who played the best in the regular season of the Kings this year, instead of Bibby who had just scored a key goal.

Bibby was silent and didn't speak. He was a tough guy any coach would love, but he was also one of the easiest to ignore.

……

After a timeout, Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt and dribbled the ball on the outside to waste time. Liu Mang continued to fall to the low position on the left side of the basket.

Everything is no different from the previous two attacks.

With 10 seconds left, Jason Terry moved to a 45-degree angle to the left outside the three-point line. The Kings immediately became alert, and Peja was ready to double-team at any time.

At this moment, something completely different from the Kings' expected defensive situation happened!Prince, who was in the left corner of the basket, ran around the baseline to the other corner. Peja hurriedly chased Prince. At the same time, when he was about to contact Prince head-on, Liu Mang stretched out from the low position and ran towards the top arc. Christie hurriedly followed, but was blocked by Raheem who stepped over!

Fortunately, the Kings switched defenses very quickly. Peja immediately gave up chasing Prince to chase Liu Mang, and Christie immediately gave up chasing Liu Mang to chase Prince. At this time, Rahim, who had given Liu Mang an off-ball pick-and-roll, used Ratliff's pick-and-roll to take Divac away, and Ratliff came to the left edge of the basket.

Liu Mang ran to the top arc, Jason Terry passed to Liu Mang and then went to the left corner, Prince led Christie to the right bottom corner, Raheem led Divac to the middle distance of the right baseline, Ratliff led Webber to the edge of the left three-second zone of the basket, Liu Mang took the ball from the top arc to face Peja!

Tactic achieved!Point guard playing small forward!
Eight seconds left!
Without hesitation, Liu Mang continued to dribble the ball under his crotch.

Peja swallowed his saliva, not daring to get too close and not too far away, the opponent can shoot and break through!

After Liu Mang dribbled with cross steps in advance and changed directions, he suddenly took a step towards the right, and Peja immediately took a step towards the left, but!Liu Mang kicked his right foot, and made a big stride to the left!
Marbury's iconic front change!It's just that Marbury is really far from the free throw line, and Liu Mang is outside the three-point line!

Peja panicked, and rushed towards Liu Mang with all his teeth and claws. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and didn't dodge it.

Pingci Master level 5 triggers, with a [-]/[-] chance, the referee will whistle the opponent's action suspected of fouling!

Although the referee whistled the key ball of the Kings on a large scale, and rarely whistled for obvious fouls, this ball was too obvious!
"Beep..."

Liu Mang was lying on the floor, heard the referee's whistle, turned over, saw the three free throw gestures made by the referee, couldn't help but beat the floor and shouted "Wow, wow, wow...".

Jason Terry and Raheem, the two with the best relationship, also ran over immediately to pull Liu Mang up. Although Liu Mang just promised to give them two breakthrough points, none of them were fulfilled, but he made a three-point foul at the critical moment, and that was enough!

Compared with scoring two or three points by yourself, winning is the key!

That's right, when Liu Mang arranged his tactics just now, he deceived his teammates. After they completed the first step to create a dislocation tactic for Liu Mang, they continued to run, taking the Kings' defensive attention away, so that Liu Mang did not fall into the state of being double-teamed, and Liu Mang had a chance to single-play Peja to make a foul.

Liu Mang's tactics are two points, creating dislocations, teammates taking away the defense, and playing alone.

It's such a simple and direct tactic, it's done!

Peja is going crazy!I was played by that nasty Chinese boy from the beginning to the end today!

Liu Mang stood at the free throw line and hit all three free throws. With 5 seconds left, Liu Mang took the lead with 3 free throws!
The Kings did not pause, Weber sent the ball to Bibby, and Peja and Christie ran towards the frontcourt immediately. After Peja rushed to the frontcourt, Bibby passed an excellent lob to Peja. Bibby didn't have many assists during the Kings period, averaging about 5 per game because he didn't have the ball. His passing was no worse than Webber's, only better.

Bibby's long lob pass was very good. Peja received the ball in the half court and dribbled it beyond the three-point line. Just about to shoot, Prince stuck up to Peja. At the critical moment, Peja softened!Pass the ball to Christie!

Christie was pushing and shoving with Jason Terry. Jason Terry refused to let Christie go to the basket. Christie never expected Peja to pass the ball at this time, and the ball flew directly past his head...

Peja passed the ball out of bounds at a critical moment!

0.9 seconds left!
The Eagles just sent the ball in the backcourt, and they didn't give the Kings a chance to foul, and the Kings didn't even think about fouling.

Lost too badly today!The whole game is being played!
The Eagles ended their 9-game losing streak against the Kings!

刘莽拿到33分5板5助攻，帮助老鹰队以103比102赢得胜利，而且是罚球准绝杀！
