Chapter 759 758. Challenge the Staples Center! (Seek monthly ticket for subscription)

After breakfast, Liu Mang looked at the calendar on the desk. During the breakfast time, the hotel attendant had turned it to the latest day, June 6th, which was the day of the competition.

Liu Mang sighed, it would be great if he could rest for a few more days!

Liu Mang already has a feeling for the connection of technical movements between the front frame and the back frame singles in the elbow area, which is one of the singles skills at the mid-range position on both sides of the three-second zone where Kobe is best at scoring.

Just like last season’s Eastern Conference finals, Liu Mang used Jordan’s star card for his rookie season. His one-on-one breakthrough rhythm and the use of his body gave him a good training direction. After getting Marbury’s probing and breakthrough action package, his breakthrough not only relied on speed as before, but even his left hand can be used as his dominant hand. Everything was the same as far as the technical moves... Liu Mang complained for a long time after the game ended that day.

However, in the 03-04 season, Kobe, except for the post-up, was a bit average. The post-up was mainly used to obtain the space for face-up singles, but most of the skills, compared with Kobe in the 99-00 season, this season's Kobe can be described as a transformation.

Kobe Bryant's 03-04 season star card left Liu Mang the deepest feeling, that is, the right-handed ball in the two elbow areas, one-on-one is almost impossible to solve!

He can even follow that feeling and practice with left-handed attacking. The only pity is that due to the lack of time, Liu Mang couldn't immediately transform the feeling he got from Kobe's star card into strength. It has to be said that it is a pity.

Tonight, the third game of the finals was about to start. Liu Mang took a rest for a while, waiting for the food in his stomach to digest some, and then, accompanied by the hotel security, ran two laps in Beverly Hills.

Since he stayed in the hotel for the past two days, with outdoor courts, conference rooms, and everything else, Liu Mang never left the hotel area. He spent most of his time practicing with Prince, and occasionally playing games with Kwame Brown, who looked desperate.

During the finals, the Eagles banned players from leaving Beverly Hills. Firstly, it was a safety issue. Second, it was a reproductive safety issue. Not far from here is Hollywood. On the west side of Hollywood, there is a nightclub where 8th-tier stars gather. Occasionally, there are second- and third-tier actresses who want to come here to catch big fish. God knows what these guys with developed lower limbs will do. Therefore, the coaching staff stipulated that during the maximum of [-] days in Los Angeles, except for the team. Lee Hill.

Only then did Liu Mang know why when he first checked in, when the hotel waiter asked him to leave the hotel, he called the front desk and sent someone to monitor him, which can be regarded as protection. Although Beverly Hills is a private area, there are also hotels, people who come to buy houses, etc., which are not special security factors.

Liu Mang ran two laps back to the hotel at a relatively fast speed. Beverly Hills was said to be a villa, but it was exaggeratedly large. After asking, it actually covered an area of ​​15 square kilometers... Liu Mang went out for a run at eight o'clock and ran two laps. When he returned to the hotel, it was already ten past nine, and it took almost an hour.

Seeing the exhausted security guard behind him, Liu Mang couldn't help laughing and boarded the passenger battery car, went back to his room to take a shower, there was a team meeting at ten o'clock, he didn't expect it would take so long to run two laps.

Moreover, Liu Mang thought he would run into someone on the road, but it turned out to be deserted, but the quietness was very quiet. Liu Mang felt that it was quieter than the vacation villa he bought. It might also have something to do with it being the All-Star Weekend at that time, and other nearby vacation villas were quite noisy.

Looking at Liu Mang who left with a big smile, the waitress at the front desk was left in a cold sweat. This group of NBA players all have some quirks of one kind or another!

Obviously, Liu Mang ran fast on purpose, trying to exhaust the security guard, and then succeeded, smiling proudly and leaving.

……

Main defense.

Liu Mang looked at Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson's core grand strategy for tonight's game. There was nothing wrong with it. It was a very safe tactical strategy. It was already 2-0, and they were coming to the away game.

For the Hawks, although the coaching staff also wanted to directly crush the Lakers, make the score 3-0, and seal the victory in the Finals, it was too difficult. In the third game of the 2002 Finals, the Lakers were so much stronger than the Nets, but they were forced to the last minute by the Nets, and they were still behind by three points. 1 to 2, defeated the Nets in a comeback, and scored a big score of 1 to 106, making the championship completely lost suspense.

For the Eagles, the coaching staff is unanimously seeking stability, and the tactical ideas are in line with the players' expectations. The training content of the past two days has been aimed at countering the overwhelming style of play of the Lakers in the previous two games. The Eagles players have probably guessed the tactical strategy of the third finals.

After the team meeting, Liu Mang originally wanted to go to Prince to train together, but coach Kruger came to him with a child.

"Brother Ace, long time no see." Little Jimmy came to Liu Mang with a box in his arms.

"Oh, it's little Jimmy, long time no see, why are you here? The coach can break the team rules and take care of his family?" Liu Mang asked in surprise, "Aren't you training with the freshman from Georgia Tech's high school? Hey, little Jimmy, you've grown a lot taller! Are you 1.8 meters?"

Coach Kruger heard this and wanted to clean up the door again.

Little Jimmy was afraid of causing trouble to Coach Kruger when he heard what Liu Mang said, so he hurriedly said, "No, Dad didn't violate the team rules. The training place for my seniors and I was in Los Angeles. By the way, I'm 1.7 meters nine!"

Although Coach Kruger didn't specifically ask Jimmy to call him dad, but as Jimmy felt the warmth of the family for the first time, over time, he called him out naturally.

But Jimmy Butler is really amazing. He had perfect training, better nutrition supply, and a warmer family earlier than before. He showed his basketball talent early and became a dazzling new star in Atlanta's junior high school league. It even overshadowed the light of Stockton's son.

Many high schools want to recruit him, but basketball is very important, and studies are also very important. San Marino High School in Southern California has become the favorite choice of Coach Kruger. The school not only produced many sports stars, but also has good cultural education.

He is less than 15 years old, 1.7 meters nine, and Liu Mang knows that this guy will grow to more than two meters in the future. Liu Mang really wants to ask, do all Americans eat feed?It has grown by more than 20 to [-] centimeters in a year, hell!

"That's right, you're going to come to Los Angeles to study high school. By the way, you have to be careful. Don't go to the Lakers game if you have nothing to do, so as not to fail your studies." Thinking of this, Liu Mang urged.

"Why can't we watch the Lakers game?" Little Jimmy asked in surprise, "Because they are our opponents?"

Liu Mang thought for a while and said: "Well... Although he is our opponent, this is not the point. The point is that their team has an evil player wearing the No. 8 jersey. He has an evil witchcraft and will turn you post-1990s into iron lovers... You don't know what a post-1989s is? People born after [-]... Uh, you were born in [-]? It's about the same. Don’t go to the Lakers game when we come to play games, you can learn bad things easily, and donate to them. When we come to play games, I will ask for tickets for you, and they won’t torture them to death for me... By the way, little Jimmy, what are you doing here today? Don’t you need to practice?”

Little Jimmy was so dizzy and confused by Liu Wei's words, so he just remembered not to watch the Lakers game. Hearing Liu Wei's last question, Little Jimmy replied: "Today is going to play the third finals. I'm here to cheer for everyone. We will definitely win the championship this year!"

"Oh, then go cheer on the other brothers, I'm going to train." Liu Mang patted Little Jimmy on the head, maybe he won't be able to take pictures in two years, this guy will be taller than him in the future, thinking of this, Liu Mang couldn't help but touch the emperor in the background.

"..." Doesn't this follow the routine?Anyway, let's chat for a while, and suddenly the lively chat ended. Coach Kruger couldn't understand Liu Mang's brain circuit!
Coach Kruger secretly kicked little Jimmy's leg.

Only then did Little Jimmy remember his mission, he pulled Liu Mang who was about to leave and said, "Brother Ace, can you play games with me for a while, I have the latest game disk here, let's play together?"

"No..."

Just as Liu Mang was about to refuse, he was interrupted.

"Ace, you can play with little Jimmy for a while. There will be a game tonight. Let Tyshawn rest. He doesn't have as good physical strength as you." Coach Kruger could only say clearly.

"..." Liu Reck thought that in the past two days, Prince and himself were exhausted. Thanks to his youth and strong recovery ability, Liu Reck healed Prince's minor injuries so that he could still be alive and well. Thinking of the game tonight, Liu Reck had no choice but to give up.

This hateful coach actually treats the young master as a troublesome matter!Liu Mang showed a vicious expression to Little Jimmy and said, "Okay, Little Jimmy, if the game is not fun, you can train with me!"

Who knew that Little Jimmy wasn't afraid at all. When he heard that he could train with Liu Mang, he said excitedly, "Really? Brother Ace, let's go to train... Ouch... No, Brother Ace, let's go play games..."

Little Jimmy was kicked again by an increasingly insidious head coach, and the last half of the sentence made him feel aggrieved.

Liu Mang shrugged. He also understood that one day would not allow him to learn the skills he wanted to master. He was just in a hurry, but now he couldn't be in a hurry. The coach used his son as a weapon. He decided to just empty his head before the game and play games to relieve his nervousness.

……

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, when the Eagles entered the Staples Center, there were already aerial helicopters hovering over the Staples Center from a number of television stations from the United States, Canada, Mexico and other North American countries that had offices in Los Angeles.

The treatment in Los Angeles is good. When the Eagles played the finals at home, they didn't have this kind of treatment at all. The only team that can compete with the Lakers in the finals is probably only the New York team.

Although the Lakers lost the first two games, they lost on the road. In addition, the Lakers were able to suppress the Eagles in both games. Although they were eventually counter-pressed, it was almost all due to the restlessness of the OK combination. The Lakers had a relatively obvious advantage in the scene before and were leading the score, so Kobe was almost to blame for the Lakers' loss in the second game.

But precisely because of this, even though the Lakers have lost two games in a row, many fans still have confidence in the Lakers.

The Lakers returned to Los Angeles, taking advantage of the home court, if Kobe was a little clearer, the Lakers had a great chance of holding the home court!
Moreover, the Lakers have three consecutive home games. Los Angeles fans still think that the Lakers can win the championship, and most of the media are also very optimistic about the Lakers.

……

At six o'clock in the evening, players from both teams entered the field.

As the last starter of the visiting team, Liu Mang received wild boos.

Liu Mang is used to this. From the first time he came to the Staples Center to play a game, the boos began to accompany him.

Moreover, Liu Mang smiled smugly when he saw the undisguised jealousy of the first player who came out from the opposite side to look at him...

But seeing those people on the sidelines, Liu Mang probably knew why after moving from the Lakers to Los Angeles, except for Jordan and Russell, all other superstars of the era joined the Lakers at a certain stage in their careers.

Hollywood superstars, sports superstars, political stars, famous scholars, scientists who won the Nobel Prize... The second- and third-tier stars have no chance of getting tickets at all. They are all one of the most powerful figures in various industries in the world.

This...Although he was defamed when he was a fan, but when he was a player, he met so many celebrities who came to watch him play. Liu Mang still felt very excited, and even a little envious...The little blacksmith is so hateful!fuck him!
Just when Liu Mang forcibly put his hatred on his opponent, the people from the TV station asked him to greet and take photos with those celebrities, which is also part of the basketball game.

The reason why today's game at 06:30 is at [-] o'clock is because of the activities in this area.

Finally, at 06:30 in the evening, the game between the Eagles and the Lakers was about to start.

The Eagles are very excited. They have done their best to prepare for this game. If they can win, they will basically lock the championship!

If you have this chance, why not fight for it.

The Eagles prepared to use defense to deal with the Lakers in the third game because the Lakers used to give people the impression that they played offensive basketball. The Lakers averaged more than 105 points per game in the finals for three consecutive years. This is an achievement that the Bulls have never achieved.

The Eagles are fully prepared, ready to meet the crazy offense of the Lakers, and even prepared for the offense led by the OK combination who played well and was ready to face Kobe Bryant's reasonable play.

However, unexpectedly, the Lakers' side was beyond the Eagles' expectations from the very beginning of the game!
