From today on is the king

Chapter 5 5. It's just shooting (asking for collection and recommendation tickets~)

Chasing three points!

An extremely rare trick in this era!
The fans at the scene seemed to be stuck in their throats before the cursing was over, and then burst into violent cheers in an instant!
The fans are actually the cutest. They scold their players, usually because they hate iron and steel, but as long as you work hard and perform well, they will give the warmest cheers!
Liu Mang was stunned by himself.

This feeling, this silky touch, this surging self-confidence...

This is the strength of Thompson in the Splash Brothers?How accurate should Curry be?What kind of self-confidence should I have?
Just now Liu Mang went beyond the three-point line, as if driven by a magical force, he had an incomparable urge to shoot in his heart, accompanied by the cheers of the fans when he made a steal, the feeling of adrenaline burst made him shoot directly.

For the time being, Liu Mang doesn't want to think about anything, just play basketball!Enjoy the strength of the owner's top stars!

Francis looked at Liu Mang with a strange expression. Isn't this shot too bold?And the defense just now, or the yellow coward who cowered behind Raheem at the end of the first half?

Probably an accident!

Francis became even angrier. He was actually counterattacked by a rookie in the second round for a three-pointer!

In this era when chasing three-pointers is extremely rare, this is simply humiliating!
This time, Francis played harder and protected the ball better. He directly ran over Liu Mang and went inside to avoid Ratliff's blocking pull bar and hit a layup!
"Lucky boy! This is strength!" Francis said in a low voice when he returned to defense and passed Liu Mang's side. Obviously, Francis took Liu Mang's direct three-pointer as luck, because this kind of style of play is basically unheard of these days. He picks up the ball and shoots when he is lucky.

Liu Mang didn't care what Francis said at this time. Although Francis' ability value is not at the level of a top star, it is at least one of the strongest players among the top players. Moreover, Francis' ability score is not a top star. Liu Reck thinks it is completely related to defense. Francis looks good except for blocking shots based on his physical fitness, and his overall defensive ability is stronger than that of a cash machine.

When Francis' offense was the strongest, he could face off against Kobe and McGrady. Kobe in the OK era and McGrady in the Magic era were both good defensive players. Kobe was the first team of the best team.

Now all Liu Mang thinks about is shooting!Three points!

The silky-smooth feel just now is simply too comfortable!
Emmanuel Davis dribbles upfield when Raheem drops low for the ball.

The Rockets' lineup is Francis, the old cat Cardinal Mobley, Kenny Thomas' outside three-shot combination, plus Eddie Griffin, the No. [-] pick this year, and defensive center Kevin Cato.

The Rockets are very strong outside. Francis and the old cat Mobley are both first-class scorers with 20+ points. Kenny Thomas is also good, but they are not expected to make the playoffs because their insides are too bad!

Raheem sat in the low post, and as soon as he asked for the ball, the Rockets shrunk back to several players, and the outside line was empty.

There is no way, Raheem is [-] meters tall and has such delicate skills to play small forward. Sitting in the low post to go to the inside of the Rockets is completely the background and can only double-team.

Emmanuel Davis is a shooting guard with fairly mediocre organizational skills. Liu Mang didn’t receive the serve and pushed forward, which is already the most point guard job he can do. Now that Raheem is double-teamed, he doesn’t know whether to play by himself or find a way to pass in. If he plays by himself, the coach will probably curse again. He knows that his shooting percentage was more than 30.00% last season, but the Eagles dug it back from the Supersonics to serve as a defensive pioneer on the bench.

However, at this time, Emmanuel Davis saw Liu Mang running over and asking for the ball, so he immediately passed it on.

Although Emmanuel didn't trust Liu Mang, that's why he took the serve and pushed forward. He was afraid that Liu Mang's thin bamboo pole body would be overwhelmed by the opponent and intercepted, but Liu Mang was a point guard anyway, and his organizational ability and passing ability must be better than his own. Emmanuel Davis thought so.

Emmanuel Davis passed the ball to Liu Mang, and then cut inside, asking for the ball while cutting. He wanted to use his impact to help Rahim attract the defense.

However, before Emmanuel ran into the free throw line, he just turned around and beckoned for the ball, when Liu Mang, who had just received the pass, directly made a three-pointer.

"Watt?" Emmanuel Davis was stunned, and Francis, who was following Liu Mang, was also stunned. He just came over to catch the ball and then shot?How the hell did he score a dribble just now, and now he can't recognize himself?Play superstar style?Or the superstar style of that pretentious guy on the Magic?
Then, the ball went straight into the basket.

"My God!" Emmanuel was about to scold the rookie, but unexpectedly he entered again!

This is so simple!

Emmanuel simply found it unbelievable. In his opinion, Terry's title as a jet is a fart!This rookie is a bomber!
The ten-point difference instantly changed to six points, and Tomjanovich, the coach of the Rockets, called a timeout. A five-point difference is a hurdle, and it is actually not a point difference within five points.

Strength is always the easiest thing to win respect on the basketball court. Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row. His touch and confidence made Emmanuel, a guy who always regards strength as the king and respects the strong, give Liu Mang a high-five, which shows his approval.

Shot-blocking king Ratliff and backup power forward Ira Newbell also came to pat Liu Mang's butt, saying that the shot was beautiful.

Although Rahim did not show such enthusiasm, it was entirely due to his personality. He came to Liu Mang and said, "If you can still play later, give me the ball, and I will give you the ball."

After saying this, Rahim felt that this might give Liu Mang a sense of stealing the ball, and explained: "You just made two consecutive three-pointers, and they will definitely defend you next.

Take care of by the boss!
Liu Mang really didn't expect that Raheem, a super giant player with an average of 23+10+3 per game, would explain this to him. In his current chaotic memory, the only understanding of top players is Jason Terry, who has been with him for the longest time in preseason. He has a bad temper. the reason.

Liu Mang thought of Terry, and it happened that Terry also looked at Liu Mang.

His own team continued to chase points, and the Rockets called a timeout as soon as they came up, but Terry didn't show a happy expression, and he seemed out of place with the other teammates around him.

Terry was upset. When he was on the court, he couldn’t exert much pressure on Francis. Instead, he was overwhelmed. The strong shooting didn’t feel good. As a result, the Hawks were still [-] points behind when the overall strength was better than the Rockets. As a result, the rookie scored six points in a row to stop the Rockets. Terry felt slapped in the face.

Most people don't have Terry's strange thinking, but Terry is that kind of character. He is so competitive that he even wants to beat his teammates.

Seeing Liu Mang walking back to the bench, Terry got up and went to coach Kruger. He thought Kruger would replace him, because it was another good opportunity to chase points. If he played well, he might be able to catch up with the point difference soon.

Although Liu Mang didn't know what Terry was thinking, he was also worried about whether he would be able to play in the next time. From Rahim's words, he could tell that even if he scored two three-pointers in a row, he might be replaced immediately.

Liu Mang thinks there are two possibilities. The first is that his shooting just now has nothing to do with tactics at all, because he doesn’t know what tactics he is playing at all. The general tactical direction of a game has been arranged before the game, and the system has been planned in the training camp a month ago, and he has started practicing in the preseason. This is the same as practicing skills.

Although he entered, but in this era when the coach still has a lot of power to speak, when players don't play according to tactics, and Iverson and Kobe will be criticized by the media, Liu Mang knows that 100% of his two offenses just now belong to the category of "disobedient".

Also, just like what Terry thought, now that the morale of his own side has risen because of two consecutive "amazing" three-pointers, this is a good opportunity for the Eagles to overtake the score in one fell swoop. It is not a difficult choice to replace the main force.

So Liu Mang was a little anxious. This star card is still top-notch, and there must be a level distinction. I don’t know when I will get another one in the future. I must take this opportunity to perform well!At least give the team an "illusion", that is, the rookie has the "illusion" of forcing three-pointers and hitting a high percentage, so that they lose their plan to lay him off.

As for how the next game will be played?Now is not the time to think about this, as the saying goes, to be happy in life is to be happy... Finally, with the strength of such a superstar, I will be sorry for myself even if I am upset!
Seeing that Terry had already walked over, as if I was about to play and holding the training uniform for me, Liu Mang felt a little sad, a rookie is a rookie, and he is a rookie in the second round, no human rights...

Just when Liu Mang was thinking this way, head coach Kruger said: "Ace, Emmanuel, you double-team Francis after you play, Sharif, you can let go of Thomas, he didn't shoot, Nazr and Theo, you go up and guard the inside, and don't let anyone from the Rockets enter the inside!"

Both Liu Mang and Terry looked at their coach in astonishment. This arrangement...some people are happy and some are angry!
