The leading stars of both teams scored a goal, and the defensive strategies of both teams began to expand to the outside. Liu Mang was ready to flank Kobe at any time.

However, this time Fisher advanced to the frontcourt and did not give the ball to Kobe. He was the only Lakers player on the court who could steal the ball from Kobe. Fisher still had a good sense of observing the opponent's defense.

He lobbed the ball to Yao Ming, who was blocking Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown was relatively tough. Like Howard, when guarding against Yao Ming and O'Neal, they both struggled to hold it, and then they couldn't hold it.

Yao Ming received the ball, and before Josh Smith shrank in, he turned and hooked...

This touch made all centers in the league jealous. Yao Ming was ready to catch the ball, turn around and hit the board with a hook!

The Lakers scored 5 points in a row!

In the second half, Yao Ming also began to take advantage of the changes in the Hawks' interior defenders and began to score independently.

A Kobe Bryant or a Yao Ming cannot stop him at all.

Liu Mang continued to play in singles and broke into the mid-range, causing a foul on Wang Zhizhi who came up from the flank. He got two free throws. Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made both free throws. He had to hold on until McGrady could come back.

Normally when guarding against other teams, Jason Terry is enough to guard against pitchers, but today against the Lakers, Liu Mang couldn't guard Kobe. Odom had to have someone to support him when he played small forward. Liu Mang was reduced to guarding Fisher.

.

When the Lakers attacked, Liu Mang's double attack on Kobe and Josh Smith's shrinking to the basket became more active. Unfortunately, Wang Zhizhi's defensive end and Josh Smith's backhand felt the impact.

The shot failed, and Liu Mang squeezed in and grabbed the rebound.

13 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks!

There is still only 1 assist.

The two teams have adjusted more, both defensively and offensively. If they can't play alone and are double-teamed, they won't be able to distribute the ball, so they just do it on their own.

That is to say, Liu Mang regained his touch in the second half. When Kobe and Yao Ming attacked several times in a row, he held the score tightly. He survived Yao Ming's several singles at the beginning of the second half and did not let the opponent open the score. He waited until Yao Ming hit hard.

After four times, Liu Mang's burden was a little lighter when he returned to his stance to grab rebounds.

At the official timeout in the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 8 points in seven minutes. In addition, Prince made a three-pointer at the buzzer. The Eagles scored 11 points in seven minutes.

The Lakers' drug-addled team scored 11 points together, and with Odom's 4 points, they scored 15 points in 7 minutes.

44 to 49, the Eagles trailed by five points and entered the official timeout.

This slow scoring made the players of both teams feel the pressure. The whole court was filled with pressure. The low-pressure atmosphere made the players of both teams become more and more focused on defense.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Hawks replaced McGrady, and Liu Mang and McGrady finally withstood the firepower of the combination of Kobe and Odom with Yao Ming at the basket.

At the end of the third quarter, the Eagles were 56 to 57, narrowing the point difference to 1 point again.

The Hawks and Lakers both scored 23 points in the third quarter, which was already the most efficient performance in the first three quarters of the game.

Liu Mang scored 19 points in the third quarter, Tracy McGrady scored 17 points in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant scored 19 points in the third quarter, and Yao Ming scored 18 points in the third quarter. They were the only four who scored in double figures in the game.

There were basically no assists. Liu Mang had two assists in three quarters, and his only assist in the third quarter was a pass to Prince.

…

It was a game full of physical combat and small moves, full of passion and iron-bloodedness, with a large number of ordinary fouls interrupting the rhythm, and Liu Mang often called timeouts to interrupt the rhythm. This game situation that tortured the nerves of the two teams continued into the fourth quarter.

Sure enough, the lack of iron-bloodedness will not affect the fans' attention to the game. The fans at the scene are more passionate in this eye-catching attack.

The main thing is to look at the players. Jordan encountered the toughest era. The Bulls averaged the highest score in the last three consecutive years at 105 points, which is incomparable with many teams in the 1980s that averaged more than 110 points per game.

, the lowest one was even only 96 points, but the ratings were still the best.

This game gathered two of the best forward and guard swingmen, two scoring champions and a player who is about to win the scoring champion, as well as an assists leader and a player who is about to win the assists champion, plus the top two players in the league.

center, and Odom, one of the most versatile players in history...

The fans were very excited to see the physical combat.

But the players who play are already relying on their willpower to fight!

76 to 75, Liu Mang made a tip-in to help the Eagles take the lead by one point.

With 9 of 27 shots, Liu Mang has scored 27 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 5 steals. He also made 7 turnovers and 5 fouls.

Kobe also scored 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 steals and 2 blocks. He also had 7 turnovers and one less foul, with 4 fouls.

Tracy McGrady had 22 points and 7 rebounds, Yao Ming had 25 points and 13 rebounds, Jason Terry had 9 points, Odom had 12 points and 15 rebounds, Kwame Brown had 8 rebounds and 9 rebounds, Fisher had 6 points, and Korver

5 points, there are only so many players who scored more than 5 points in today's game.

At the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, the two teams were still clinging to the score. Liu Mang had just used Tracy McGrady's missed layup to complete a tip-in. Now Yao Ming's transition between offense and defense after the defense was over was almost useless.

Kobe picked up the ball and stepped out of bounds. When the referee counted to 4 and Yao Ming had already passed half court, he handed the ball to Fisher.

Fisher advanced very slowly. The Eagles did not press the whole court. It was useless for Liu Mang to press alone. McGrady and Prince, the two forward players currently on the court, were already very tired.

Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown, one is tired, and the other is almost autistic after being beaten. Fortunately, Kwame Brown has experienced a more torturous period, and now he has the mental ability to withstand such things as being abused.

Even stronger, he is afraid that Liu Mang or the Hawks will give up on him. As long as he does not give up on him and be abused by O'Neal and Yao Ming, he will try his best.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kobe received the ball with his back to Prince in the high post and continued to play singles.

"Ding... Features: Serial killer trigger, Tayshaun Prince has been tortured physically and mentally by Kobe Bryant's never-ending duel, from Kobe Bryant..."

Liu Mang immediately attacked from a double flank. Liu Mang relied on his cold-bloodedness to offset Kobe's unique temperament that attracted opponents to challenge him. This temperament turned Pierce into a singles player in the original 2010 Finals.

But McGrady, Prince, and Iguodala were almost driven crazy by Kobe's crazy singles. If they couldn't make a shot, they kept trying until they made a shot.

What's more important is that Kobe can still defend even if he can't make a shot!

Although the Hawks could defend back even if they couldn't make a shot, that feeling made Prince and McGrady too uncomfortable. Except for Liu Mang and Jason Terry, they had never seen a player with as much confidence in shooting as Kobe.

.

When Liu Mang's double attack was in place, Kobe passed the ball!

Fisher cuts in!

Fisher rarely made any cuts in this game, it was very sudden!

At this time, Yao Ming burst out with force and stopped Kwame Brown. Fisher rushed inside and threw the board high to avoid Rasheed Wallace's help and fall into the basket!

Lao Ji Fufeng!

Fisher’s killer instinct at critical moments!

Fisher made 2 of 11 shots and hit a layup at the critical moment!

77 to 76, the Lakers took the lead!

When the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang didn't advance quickly. McGrady's offensive efficiency was pretty good today, with a shooting percentage of 38%, 8 of 21 shots, and 22 points, but his physical exertion was 40 points higher than usual.

Even more than 50 points.

The wheel-and-wheel battle failed to wear Kobe to death. Instead, Tracy McGrady and Prince were exhausted. Iguodala defended the border for a few minutes and was a little autistic...

When Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, the opponent's assist defense was no longer that good, so he defended alone. This was an opportunity for Liu Mang!

Just took a shot of physical potion, Liu Mang is full of energy now!

Kobe's defense was still very strong. Liu Mang's pull-up jump shot from mid-range was interfered with and he missed the shot. However, Liu Mang already felt that the shot was askew when he took the shot, and rushed towards the basket as soon as he landed.

Sure enough, the ball hit the basket and bounced very high!

Kwame Brown wanted to rush for an offensive rebound, but was suppressed by Yao Ming. Just when Yao Ming was about to use his height advantage to defend the defensive rebound, a long arm snatched the rebound away!

It's Liu Mang!

Liu Mang grabbed the rebound and went up for a layup...

He was interfered by Yao Ming and missed the goal. He hit the basket and bounced to the other side, but Liu Mang jumped over and grabbed the offensive rebound. He started again...

This time he was blocked! Yao Ming tried his best to reach out and touch the ball, but the ball changed its flight direction and hit the backboard.

Just when the fans at the scene were about to get discouraged, Liu Mang once again grabbed an offensive rebound over Yao Ming's head!

Liu Mang grabbed three offensive rebounds in a row!

Yao Ming had no choice this time, he couldn't even jump, so he directly grabbed Liu Mang's arm, a tactical foul!

Liu Mang tried his best to throw the ball out... and scored!

Liu Mang's rebound shot hit!

Not only that, the referee whistle blew and Yao Ming fouled Liu Mang for shooting!

Liu Mang stepped to the free throw line and made the extra free throw!

79 to 77, the Eagles lead by two points!

With 30 points and 20 rebounds, Liu Mang exploded with rebounds today, hitting three consecutive offensive rebounds, breaking his previous personal record of 17 rebounds in a single game!

The Lakers players were going crazy. After spending the whole game defensively, Kobe's physical fitness began to decline. At this time, Liu Mang was able to grab three offensive rebounds in a row!

Victory is in sight!

Falling behind by two points, Jackson didn't call a timeout. Now the Lakers are holding on. If a timeout is called, Yao Ming will probably have a hard time standing up again.

46 minutes. This is the second time in Yao Ming's career that he has played more than 45 minutes. He has played 44 minutes three times and 52 minutes once. The 52-minute game was double overtime.

Liu Mang didn't dare to let go of Fisher this time. After Fisher passed the ball to Kobe, Liu Mang clung tightly to the tenth-year veteran. Kobe saw that Fisher had no chance to catch the ball again.
