1281. An unstoppable shot!
After the timeout, the Chinese team lined up the back line combination of Liu Wei, Liu Mang, Li Nan, Yi Jianlian, and Wang Zhizhi.
Compared with Yao Ming, although Milicic is not a physical monster, he has to be much better and continue to play.
On the outside, Serbia and Montenegro did not dare to make substitutions. The lineup of Marinovic, Androvic, and Bogdanovic continued to play, and the power forward was replaced by Gujan Niklic, who has mid-range shooting ability.
Serbia and Montenegro attack.
Liu Mang waited for Marinovic to advance. It was very difficult for Marinovic to break through Liu Mang. In the first half, he mainly focused on air cuts. Wang Zhizhi did a good job in switching defenses, and the pick-and-roll was not easy to use.
But things are different now. Wang Zhizhi, an inside swingman with NBA-level competition, is stuck with Milicic. Wang Zhizhi weighs 120 kilograms and can still compete with Milicic. In terms of weight, Wang Zhizhi is a little heavier.
.
If Yi Jianlian were to defend Milicic, Milicic would be able to play like Yao Ming.
Marinovich looks for Nick Ricci in the pick-and-roll!
The Eastern Europeans were very solid in the pick-and-roll. Liu Mang was blocked by Nick Ricci. Yi Jianlian's defensive switching experience was too poor and he failed to create a chance for Liu Mang to bypass the pick-and-roll defense. Marinovic broke into the three-second zone and used Milicic.
The pinned floater scored two points.
11 to 15, without Yao Ming, Serbia and Montenegro's offense was much easier to play, and Marinovic began to show his ability to attack the basket.
Just as Liu Mang expected!
Without Yao Ming, his defense dropped by two levels. If it were Yao Ming, Milicic would not be in the low post. If Milicic wanted to hit the mid-range shot, Yao Ming would just stand on both sides of the three-second zone. Milicic would not be in the low post.
When Qi La went out, he used Yi Jian to defend the long shot. Yao Ming focused on guarding the basket and did not defend for three seconds anyway.
It's a pity that Wang Zhizhi is still far behind.
In this case, Liu Mang was also ready to attack.
Liu Mang received Wang Zhizhi's serve. Although Liu Wei came up as the point guard in name, it was Liu Mang who actually controlled the ball.
Marinovich no longer does useless work, he stays inside the three-point line, waiting for Liu Mang to advance and then prevent Liu Mang from breaking through. He is ready to play the whole game, so he cannot waste his energy.
Liu Mang stopped about two meters away from the three-point line. Marinovich was guarding the three-point line. Seeing Liu Mang stop, Marinovich turned around and observed the situation. The opponent did not move.
But Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian both moved inside.
At this time, the fans at the scene reacted and started cheering. Some of the fans often watched the live broadcasts of Liu Mang's games, and some watched the games live. Most of them just started cheering and started cheering, although they didn't know how to respond.
It's something, but you can't show that you don't know, the whole audience started cheering!
At this time, Milicic, who was stuck with Wang Zhizhi on the inside, reacted and quickly shouted in his hometown dialect: "Defend, hurry up!"
Marinovic was yelled at by Milicic, and he turned his head in confusion. What was he guarding against? When he turned his head again, Marinovic saw that Liu Mang had jumped up and raised the ball above his head!
"What is this?" Marinovich didn't even pounce on him. He couldn't imagine how Liu Mang could throw it away like that!
Marinovich, a player who plays in Russia, does not watch live games most of the time, nor does he pay attention to the NBA. He just wants to make money in Europe. He only knows that Liu Mang is good at three-pointers, but he is two meters away from the three-point line.
, he didn’t believe Liu Mang could enter...
"Shua"
Liu Mang made a super long-range three-pointer!
The FIBA three-point line is originally 93 centimeters shorter than the NBA. Liu Mang can ensure a stable three-point shooting distance. He can ensure shooting accuracy from a distance of about one meter outside the NBA three-point line.
Just now Liu Mang saw Marinovic defending inside the three-point line. He didn't shoot immediately because he was calculating the shooting distance!
Marinovic made a mistake in defending Liu Mang before, and blocked Liu Mang's three-pointer with his movement that was even faster than Liu Mang's. And with Yao Ming present, Liu Mang was happy to take advantage of Yao Ming's containment.
But this time...Liu Mang felt it was easier than training!
There is no such excitement in training!
Li Nan and Liu Wei rushed forward crazily and collided with Liu Mang's chest. Liu Mang expressionlessly defended after colliding with his chest. When the fans saw Liu Mang hit a super long three-pointer, the cheers had already exploded and the whole audience went crazy!
Although I know in my heart that the three-point line is almost one meter short, and I also know that Liu Mang is a sharpshooter in the NBA who needs to defend the three-point line to prevent him from shooting three-pointers, but the impact of the picture is too strong!
The distance across the three-point line is too far!
Marinovich was stunned, thinking: Is this luck?
In the minds of ordinary players, such a long three-pointer is either a big lead, and you can shoot like this when you are excited, but the current situation is obviously not the case. The Chinese team was only ahead by 4 points just now; the other is to be behind at a critical moment.
, when you need to shoot a three-pointer, you don’t have a good chance, so you just gamble on luck. This is not the case.
After a moment of surprise, Marinovic still didn't understand and received Milicic's serve to advance.
When Serbia and Montenegro attacked, after Marinovic arrived in the frontcourt, Liu Mang stayed close to him this time. Unlike the previous defense, which was to prevent breakthroughs but not shots, Liu Mang pressed forward to prevent the opponent from calling the pick-and-roll.
Marinovic took the opportunity to break through, and was flanked by Liu Mang and Wang Zhizhi when he reached the inside. He passed the ball to Milicic, who stepped back and shot a jumper...
Yi Jianlian shrank to cover up the defense, and Milicic took the initiative to stick to Yi Jianlian and throw the ball out.
Yi Jianlian pounced with great force, and Milicic also took the initiative to seek contact. Yi Jianlian knocked Milicic down. The referee's whistle sounded, and Yi Jianlian fouled Milicic!
At the same time, if the ball is scored, a penalty will be added if the goal is valid!
Milicic relied on his personal ability to return Liu Mang's favor.
Additional penalties are included!
Liu Mang looked at the fighting spirit of Milicic. Without Yao Ming, there was no way to stop Milicic.
Milicic has to be made desperate, otherwise the further he is delayed, the physical strength of his teammates will decline, and the more trouble will become. This group of barbarians from Eastern Europe have too good physical fitness.
Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to two meters outside the three-point line. He was still in the same position just now. He took a three-pointer without hesitation!
Marinovich was still hesitating whether to block it, worried that his efforts would be in vain. When he saw Liu Mang jump up and pounce on him again, it was already too late!
Just now Marinovich gave Liu Mang a chance to calculate the distance and adjust his shooting feel. Now... Liu Mang is unstoppable!
Two consecutive three-pointers!
Relying on the overall confrontation advantage of the Serbian and Montenegrin teams, Bogdanovic received Milicic's second pass and forced a layup.
But looking back, Liu Mang made another three-pointer from the same position...
Can't stop it!
Chapter completed!
