The greater the strength, the greater the responsibility.

This time with 80% of Iverson's strength, coupled with his own shooting ability and height, Liu Mang's role on the court will not be worse than Iverson, but he plays more cautiously.

With McGrady and Iverson as the main offense, O'Neal Jr. and Raheem, the two 10-rebound inside men, are responsible for defense and rebounding. Liu Mang himself is very low-key most of the time. Occasionally, when he has a chance, he will make an air cut and shoot from the outside. His performance

A wave.

The most useful thing Liu Mang and Brother Blacksmith learned is that they are good at letting their teammates perform. The reason why Qiao can win so many championships and form a lineup that can win consecutive championships so easily is because of the type of teammates they have in a relatively single-function department.

They can all be paired together.

Liu Mang spent most of the time opening up the space, occasionally scoring a few points in a row, and before he knew it, he got 30 points!

At more than eight minutes into the fourth quarter, the two teams were tied at 146 to 148, with the Western team trailing the Eastern team by two points!

The Western Team calls timeout!

Although Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 37 points, the situation is obviously becoming more and more dangerous for the West!

The Eastern Conference played strategically and methodically, while the Western Conference still relied on talent to play. Kobe singled out Duncan, then Garnett singled out. The credit was that the three of them were strong enough and made consecutive shots. Payton and

Francis' scoring is okay, but neither is top-notch. As the outside core with unlimited firepower, the two only average about 20 points per game in the club. They really can't do well against the defensive backcourt combination of Iverson and Liu Mang.

Once the three main scorers in the Western Conference fail to make shots, the Western Conference will be finished!

Adelman, a famous coach, was ineffective again. Kobe was angry and took away the tactical board.

"Rick, can you let Peja play?" Kobe asked Adelman.

Adelman looked at the time and saw 3 minutes and 21 seconds left, so he agreed without much time.

OK! Kobe called Peja, Payton, and No. 21 together.

"Kevin, Tim, which one of you is going to play in the low post?" Kobe asked Duncan and Garnett. In his opinion, the two of them are not much different. They are both super big players that he rarely recognizes in the league.

forward.

"Tim, go ahead, I'll create space." Garnett said without hesitation.

Among players at the same position in the league, the only one Garnett sees as his rival is Duncan. He looks down on the other players, including Webber and Nowitzki.

This is also true. If Nowitzki and Webb's teammates were given to Garnett, he thinks he can win several MVPs and compete for the championship.

And this is not to brag or be arrogant. When Garnett gave him two aging quasi-All-Stars at his peak, he could finish first in the Western Conference and win the MVP.

"Okay, Tim, you come here, Kevin, here, this way, Peja, you are here, I will pick and roll, Gary, the organization depends on you..." Kobe took the tactical board and drew a bunch of things that others couldn't see.

Understand but probably know how to run tactics...

…

The Western team called two timeouts in a row and attached great importance to this tactical adjustment.

The Eastern side also knows that the decisive moment has come, and is also preparing nervously.

Inside defense!

The main thing is interior defense!

Garnett can come in and take a look at it. Sure enough, O'Neal is still suitable to play power forward. Duncan is too difficult to guard against the center!

Don't shrink too much. The opponent's Kobe is very accurate in outside shooting. If you shrink, someone will be free. The free person can pick and roll for Kobe. Kobe can shoot them to death.

Seeing Liu Mang's distress, Iverson thought for a while and ran to discuss it with Mutombo. I don't know what he said, but Mutombo actually agreed to play again!

"Really? Are you going to play, Di Beiken?" Liu Mang was so excited when he got the news, "Jermaine, you can take a rest, coach, please make a substitution!"

Coach Kruger followed Liu Mang's temper and replaced him with others.

Today Liu Mang actually changed to a no-ball style in the fourth quarter, and the effect was so good. He didn't expect it at all. He grew up too fast!

No matter that Liu Mang took away the coaching task, with this kind of all-star lineup, to be honest, he, a college coach, really didn’t know how to play well. He felt that even if he coached, he would not be as talented as Liu Mang.

Weird tactics work.

Sometimes, "poverty" limits imagination, and it requires some wild ideas to fully unleash the power of wealth beyond one's due.

The Eagles' lineup, compared to the college team's lineup, is definitely extremely poor compared to the All-Star lineup. The Eagles' second half can only show up for a few minutes in the All-Star game.

O'Neal Jr. did not express dissatisfaction. It is true that he could not guard Duncan, and when he and Iverson were playing pick-and-rolls, they encountered the opponent's mad-dog Kobe Bryant and Garnett, a master in guarding pick-and-rolls. The effect was not that good, but he could only create a little breakthrough.

It's just space, not particularly effective.

…

After the timeout, the Western Team sent out Payton, Peja, Kobe, Garnett, and Duncan.

The Eastern Team sent Liu Mang, Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Raheem, and Mutombo.

Both teams surprised their opponents by replacing a strong player who they thought would not be available again.

This made the two teams feel even more in danger!

Kobe pushed forward and handed the ball to Payton at a 45-degree angle on the right. He took McGrady, the opponent's best outside defender, to pick and roll Garnett on the right baseline. Garnett took McGrady to the left side of the free throw line.

From the high post, Kobe then borrowed Duncan's pick-and-roll from the baseline to go around the basket, attracting Mutombo who was passing in front of Duncan back to the basket for frontal defense. Duncan got space to receive the ball in the low post on the right side of the three-second zone!

This style of play! The Eastern team has played before! The memory is still very clear, this is the triangle offense!

It's the triangle offense!

Kobe also pulled Raheem to the left side of the basket. The right side formed an absolute weak side with only Payton and Duncan. With the high position on the left side of the free throw line, Kobe went around to the left corner at a 45-degree angle.

Peja, the triangle offense is established!

It was a proper slow-paced triangle offense. It took a long time to move, but Payton lobbed the ball to Duncan.

The Western team's tactics were perfect. Kobe Bryant said that he was an existing user of the true triangle offense, so how could he let his opponents take the limelight?

For the Western Conference, the only unexpected thing is that the opponent's center under the basket has changed from O'Neal to Mutombo!

The biggest difference between Duncan and O'Neal on the offensive end is that while O'Neal has almost the same speed and flexibility, he also has an exaggerated size and can beat Mutombo without pressure, but Duncan cannot. His strength is as strong as Mutombo.

Most of them are half a pound.

Mutombo was different from Duncan, who had already played for almost 30 minutes. He had played for more than ten minutes in total. He had sufficient physical fitness and excellent defensive ability, which caused a lot of interference to Duncan. Duncan missed the ball on the board!

With a post under the basket, the opponent does not have O'Neal, and the Eastern team's defense under the basket is also established!

McGrady rushed in, Mutombo blocked Duncan, and McGrady grabbed the defensive rebound!

McGrady directly counterattacked with the ball!

Iverson also rushed down immediately, attracting the chasing Kobe and Payton, taking away the defense. McGrady struggled to advance with the ball, and Garnett chased McGrady fiercely.

Garnett's speed in his peak period was scary enough, and he was stunned to keep up with McGrady dribbling the ball.

At this time, Liu Mang followed up and reached the top of the three-point line. He rushed to the basket and was covered by Garnett's long arms. McGrady immediately passed back. Liu Mang received the ball from the top of the arc and was about to shoot!

The floor shook. Liu Mang, who was about to throw, noticed the guy behind him and wanted to do it again?

Liu Mang followed his plan and raised his hand to throw!

As McGrady, Iverson, and Raheem behind them shouted to be careful, Liu Mang bent his legs and lifted the ball as if he didn't hear it.

Sure enough, a poker face pounced from behind Liu Mang!

At this moment, Liu Mang was about to take off, but he took it back, took off again, and leaned back!

"Fuck!" Liu Mang was knocked out by a huge force. Fortunately, his core strength is now much stronger than normal. Liu Mang pushed the ball towards the basket when he was knocked out!

"beep"

The referee's whistle came just in time, Duncan's shooting foul!

Not only that, Liu Mang, who fell hard to the ground, didn't care how painful the fall was, and had a smile on his face.

"Shua"

Liu Mang lost his balance in the air and hit a three-pointer!

When he fell out just now, Liu Mang heard the system prompt! The fourth level of King of Ganpu was triggered!

"Ding... the host's shoulder is slightly sprained and requires 4 primary injury potions for treatment. A quick recovery requires 500 superstar points."

"Use!" Liu Mang said in his heart without hesitation.

Fortunately, a thousand superstar points were reserved on the day of the comprehensive competition. As expected, they came in handy today. There can be no accidents at this time!

"Is Ace okay?" Maddie was the first to run over and ask.

Duncan came over at the same time with concerned and apologetic eyes, but with his poker face he just held out his hands in concern and said nothing.

"It's okay!" Liu Mang ignored Duncan again, took McGrady's hand and stood up, preparing to shoot a free throw!

Duncan stretched out his hand and felt the feeling of falling leaves again.

Liu Mang had already walked away, and Duncan made a somewhat strenuous movement to pull him up into the air, and then silently walked to the basket to grab the rebound.

They say the Spurs' home court is spooky and terrifying, and the ancients would not deceive me.

The attack failed, but the opponent counterattacked!

More than 20 seconds passed back and forth. The Western team did not narrow the point difference, but was opened by another 3 points!
