chapter 3. Basketball at the beginning of the century
51 to 47, this score, Liu Mang did not look at the game time, thought it was not finished at half time, when I looked at the game time, it turned out to be almost three quarters …
I have to say that the game in the early 20th century is simply too slow. The Hawks and Rockets are fast-paced teams, but the defensive strength is really scary. Even Jason Terry dare to use his own weak Physically defend Francis.
And it is very important that defense can get started this year!
As long as it does not hit the hand, it does not directly push and pull the person obviously. If the hand seems to only “put” on the offensive player, the referee will not care.
A strong sense of both watching basketball documentaries in the 1980s and 1990s emerged in front of Liu Mang.
For the older generation of basketball, people are usually willing to watch the games of the 1980s and 1990s, watching the games of the new era, they are willing to watch the game after the prohibition of defense in 2005. The only impression of the game of this century is that the Lakers are connected Take 6 championships, think that this era is the three teams, after all, from 2000 to 2005, these three teams took the championship.
But in fact, the competition in these years is more exaggerated than in any era.
Compared with the majority of players who were born in the 1980s and 1990s and played in the 1980s and 1990s, the average physical fitness in this era was improved due to the Cold War after the collapse of the Soviet Union. World trade has developed rapidly, life has improved, and average physical fitness has increased. The 1980s and 1990s were too strong, and the rules of the 1980s and 1990s still exist, and the confrontation is terrible. This is why no team can block the Spurs and Pistons except the Lakers in recent years. The physical fitness has risen, and the relative civilian lineup is used to play an ornamental game of murder, and then defeat the opponent.
This is why a group of scorers has been rushing like a wild horse since the defense was not allowed to start in 2005. It is also the reason why the Spurs and Pistons began to decline.
Liu Mang looked at the game on the field. He said that he was accustomed to the three-point game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. It was spicy to watch this game. The shooting was also very iron. This confrontation.
Liu Mang didn’t dare to compliment Jason Terry elsewhere, but he really respected his attitude to play. Because of too many fouls by the point guard, it was his turn to defend Francis and post it directly on Francis. An elbow, and then posted.
Francis used to be played by Admiral David Robinson and Shaquille O’Neal.
Watching Dean Holoff and Jacques Vaughan, who have both committed three offences, and Emma Nuwell Davis, a high-quality, 96-gold generation drop-off point guard, have also made two offences. Replaced, Liu Mang was praying for Terry.
Yes, pray.
“Terry, don’t foul! Don’t watch! Lord Bodhisattva Lord **** bless you!” Liu Mang silently prayed for Terry. If Terry was beaten down, it was his turn.
I just played in a state of coercion, fearless … a wool, I was almost scared of urine, just because the last time in the first half was with Rahim, and Rahim went to defend Francis. Now it’s his turn! Rahim is the core. How can he risk fouling in the second half to defend against Francis? It must be his cannon fodder!
Liu Mang prayed and read it in Chinese unconsciously.
“Hey, Ais, what are you talking about? Is it Chinese?” The Croatian power forward of the Bulls dynasty, the current pensioner Kukoc asked strangely.
Kukoc is the most disappointing reinforcement for the Hawks fans, and he was very tired in the preseason. He thought he could form a powerful level inside combination with the blocking king Ratliff. As a result, he came to support the big contract. The eagle gave a pit.
Fortunately, the existence of Kukoc provided Muhammad with technical guidance, otherwise the 24 million would be completely floated.
Over the years, overseas players have n’t had much voice in the NBA. Bull dynasty role players like Luke Langley and Kukoc are already one of the best overseas players. Although Qi was favored by many teams and finally joined under the eagle’s big contract, he was actually rejected by most of his teammates. He felt that he had a lot of money but it was of no use at all.
And Liu Mang, this Asian, has a lower sense of recognition in the NBA, which makes Kukoch feel connected to the same disease. He still cares about Liu Mang. After all, although Kukoch is rejected, it is fortunate that it is status. Standing there, Liu Mang, in addition to seemingly attracted the attention of the coach, in other respects Liu Mang is completely the kind that is ignored.
“I’m praying for Jason, I hope he won’t foul.” Liu Mang answered honestly.
“Aisi, you are such a good person, but the two of you have always been in a bad relationship. I never thought you would pray for Jason.” Kukoc obviously had some rectal problems. In this era, there was no Internet bombing, and he had not entered the era of information explosion. People are still relatively simple … Of course it is only relative chat, there are good people and bad people at any time, and not necessarily less than before.
At this time, Liu Mang’s annoying voice sounded: “You don’t need a useless guy to pray for me.”
Thanks to Liu Mang and Kukoch, Terry was finally fouled by Francis for the fourth time, and was taken off the court.
Liu Mang turned his head and looked back, and Terry returned to the bench with a misfortune, as usual as a saucy look.
It ’s no wonder that Terry is so proud this year. Last season, he was a sophomore. He averaged 20 + 3 + 6 per game. In 1999, he became a 20 + 10 superstar Elton Brand and his left hand in addition to entering the NBA. The magician Lamar Odom, just as he and the opposite Francis is another supernova of the younger generation.
Why did Terry so desperately fight with Francis? It was because he wanted to overwhelm Francis, but in terms of strength, Francis was really much stronger in real bits. In three quarters, Francis alone made four fouls.
Couldn’t beat Francis originally. Terry was suffocated after being fouled for the fourth time. Then he came to the sidelines and heard the conversation between Kukoch and Liu Mang.
For Francis, Terry is really the same, the difference in physical fitness between the two is too big, but for Liu Mang, Terry just sees this boy as uncomfortable.
Yes, Liu Mang is not as general as this big mouth … The main reason is that the status of the team is too big. In addition to the only superstar Rahim, the Eagles also have the patron saint Ratliff, and Terry has the highest status. Ratliff is an honest man, he is very kind to everyone, and Rahim doesn’t have the heart of that superstar, so Terry is the most “big name” of the Eagles now. It’s not a good thing to clash with him.
Liu Mang turned his head to the head coach Lang Kruger, and Terry saw Liu Mang ignoring him and snorted coldly to express his discomfort.
It seemed to be a timeout on his own side. Today, the Hawks fouls almost exploded. Terry wanted to overwhelm Francis. Like Terry, Francis wanted to beat Terry.
Francis of the second grade last season also played a phenomenal performance, Rudy Tommy Janovic gave him all the ball, and his average performance of 20 + 6 + 6 per game in the second grade last season was simply outrageous, except for the magic Outside the division, there has never been such a strong and comprehensive performance by a point guard.
The Hawks’ outside looks good, but how can it stand up to the destruction of Francis, who is now 25 years old and has entered the NBA after four years of college?
Although the Rockets ended the third quarter with less than 60 points, Francis alone scored 30 points, plus 6 rebounds and 8 assists, almost scoring the entire Rockets scoring.
30 + 6 + 8 in three quarters, Liu Mang was surprised to see the Francis data on the big screen above the court. Before James entered the NBA, Francis could play such data.
Mr. Liu Mang was thankful that coach Kruger didn’t replace him in the last two minutes of the third quarter, but let the 2000 parallel No. 6 show Demar Johnson up for two minutes.
2000 is truly a year known as the best draft year in history. DeMar Johnson’s rookie averaged 4 points and 2 rebounds. He shot 35 percent. He played 16 minutes and played at the beginning of the season. At most 20 minutes per game, it came down later because it was too bad.
Liu Mang watched Demar Johnson play desperately. He came up and fouled Francis continuously. The Hawks fouls reached the penalty stage within a few minutes of the second half. Demar Johnson sent a free throw.
Saw Demar Johnson playing for two minutes in the third quarter, sending out one mistake, two fouls, and one non-stick, and Liu Mang suddenly felt a chuckle …
After three quarters, the Rockets played a 6-0 wave in the last two or three minutes when the Hawks were in a foul crisis, pulling the points difference to 10 points and 64 to 54. The Rockets led the third quarter.
As expected!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it should be replaced by a rotation lineup, allowing Terry and Dean Grove to take a break in the backcourt, but Jacques Vaughn performed poorly, and Demar Johnson performed even more. disaster!
So, Liu Mang’s bad hunch came.
Coach Kruger called Liu Mang past: “Ais, come on! Receive a pass from Sharif and throw the ball in! Don’t foul, UU reading www.uukanshu.com can’t stop Francis can lead him to the inside to give Theo solves! Ace, Emmanuol, Sharif, Ira, Theo, you bit the score tightly! You can’t let the score be pulled away anymore! ”
Liu Mang looked at Omanuol Davis, Rahim, Ira Newbell, and Ratliff. The whole person collapsed. Was it up to death? Maybe he will be laid off after finishing the first regular season!
This special thing is going to reveal stuffing!
Seeing Liu Mang’s trance, Coach Kruger called him over: “Don’t give up on yourself because of the draft, you have to seize every opportunity, chances can’t always give you … I can’t always give you opportunities ! ”
Liu Mang felt two heavy shots on his shoulder, which seemed to contain great expectations.
Liu Mang is very strange. The big forehead coach seems to be too good to him!
But now, Liu Mang is completely unable to think carefully, because he saw that the old Master, who was familiar with Yao Ming at that time, with a sullen face, took the serve after the referee whistled and dribbled towards the eagle side. .
The Rockets first attack in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang is going to defend against Francis!
Francis pushed forward and saw that he was a thin and tall yellow-skinned defender wearing No. 1 jersey, snorted with a disdain, and then directly crushed the other side.
“Fuck!” Liu Mang felt the power of Francis’ crushing level, and the whole person was bad in an instant.
Is about to end! About to be cut!
Liu Mang’s brain was full of panic. At this moment, he seemed to see that he was playing too bad. It was originally a second-round pick, and was cut …
Suddenly, a voice came from Liu Mang’s head.
“The rogue system is being activated, the host please wait …”
