452. Marburys forward change of direction
At this moment, Marbury's anger at being intercepted turned into shock!
Liu Mang's strength is stronger than his size looks!
After Liu Mang's weight increased to 87 kilograms, he did not continue to increase weight. He tried to continue to increase muscle, but found that it would affect flexibility, so he did not continue to increase weight. Normally, limited by physical fitness, Liu Mang
With such a height and weight of over 70, his strength is astronomical. Compared with Marbury, apart from weight, strength is impossible to have an advantage. Just like when Marbury was in the CBA at the end of his future career, a group of people were taller than him.
The strong point guard was pinched and played with by him.
However, Liu Mang was not affected by muscle injuries during training, and he slightly broke through some of his own innate limitations. In addition, he had eaten a low-level power fruit before, as well as bouncing fruits, kung fu cards, and a series of other factors, which allowed him to reach this level.
Strength that a person of his size would not be able to achieve under normal circumstances.
Originally, this matter didn't get much attention. First of all, it was his style of play. Most of the time on the offensive end, if there was physical confrontation, he would get fouled. If there was no physical confrontation, he would shoot, and he would be double-teamed to score the ball. Occasionally, he would encounter someone like Francis. This aspect of his
His strength was not good enough and he was crushed, so not many people noticed that his strength was actually very good among point guards. Even his teammates on the Hawks didn't notice.
Liu Mang's best skill is rebounding.
Mainly because of consciousness, he felt that if it was not a tactical need, like Kidd or Lonzo Ball, grabbing rebounds would directly instigate teammates to counterattack, and the point guard would fight for rebounds, and grabbing defensive rebounds would occupy the inside space.
Moreover, it is easy for the opponent to rush for rebounds from outside. If you grab offensive rebounds, you will not have time to defend your defender's fast break, and will be counterattacked by the opponent.
When rebounding like Kidd or Lonzo Ball, they first try to block the position when they predict the landing point. However, without such blocking, defensive rebounds are rushed and the chance of being out of position is extremely high.
big.
Moreover, if the point guard rushes for defensive rebounds and does not have Kidd's ability to pass long, or even has average awareness of directly promoting counterattacks, it will basically be of no benefit to the team's offense and defense.
For example, Oscar Robertson, the first player in history to average a triple-double per game, in the season when he averaged a triple-double, the team only had 43 wins and 37 losses. At that time, there were only nine teams in the NBA. Such a record was just one point.
There was no dominance at all, and the Kings, who were still called the Royals at that time, could not win a game against half of their opponents.
Therefore, Liu Mang's attitude towards rebounding has always been that if he can pick up teammates one after another with such strong rebounds, why should he do everything by himself? Are you tired? It's so comfortable to score on counterattacks.
Therefore, Liu Mang has never had the desire to rebound. Similarly, if he does not have the desire, he will not delve into it, and he has no awareness of rebounding.
But this time, he actually grabbed an offensive rebound against the opponent's big man, which was really surprising.
Especially Marbury, who is also a lousy rebounder. Marbury, who was the 183rd No. 1 pick in the same class, had more rebounds. Seeing Liu Mang holding Stoudemire hard and giving the ball to his teammates, Marbury was beaten at the beginning.
Shocked!
Marbury calmed down immediately. He is not stupid. Although he often despises his opponents, he has averaged at least 8 assists per game for 8 consecutive seasons, which proves that he has a high football IQ.
Seeing Liu Mang's performance through this offensive and defensive round, you know that this guy is really powerful!
After calming down, Marbury advanced after receiving the serve. He did not have the mentality of playing like before and wanted to play like Liu Mang who blew up his rookie season. Instead, he controlled the ball well.
Of course, one can imagine Marbury's anger after being beaten like this! After being shocked, calming down and preparing for a good beating, Marbury couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and wanted to return it!
Liu Mang wiped the sweat from his palms on his shorts. Seeing Marbury's serious eyes, he knew that the real game was about to begin.
Marbury came to the three-point line, and Liu Mang kept one step away. Marbury's three-pointers are not bad in this era, with a shooting rate of 31% all year round, and he made more than one three-pointer per game.
, so I dare not put it as far as I did to guard against Francis.
Marbury looked at Liu Mang who was on guard. His defensive posture was pretty good, and his amazing prediction just now was difficult for others to understand. They probably thought he was overwhelmed by Liu Mang's height and weight, but
He knew that Liu Mang's predicted position just now was the key! Without that predicted position, even if he had no advantage in strength and weight, he would not have been guarded so easily.
However, Marbury is full of confidence in himself! Breakthrough again!
Marbury slapped the ball hard on the ground and stepped forward with his right foot. The movement was very big!
Liu Mang didn't make a judgment this time and could only follow his feeling. However, since Marbury's long-range shot could only be said to be okay, Liu Mang's defense was very targeted and he directly retreated to break through.
The moment Marbury stepped forward with his right foot, the ball he swatted down quickly bounced to his left hand. At the same time, Marbury retracted his right foot and accelerated towards the left front!
Liu Mang hurriedly blocked the right side, but! He was left behind by Marbury's explosive three steps!
Marbury got serious too quickly! There was no way to defend him one-on-one!
After rushing to the inside, Marbury hit the pull-up layup between Liu Mang and Ratliff who blocked him.
After Marbury scored, he clenched his fists and put them on his waist. His muscles all over his body bulged, and he yelled at the fans, jumping one step with his left foot and one step with his right foot like a crab, and returned to defense sideways. His speed was quite fast.
When the fans at the scene were a little discouraged by the alley-oop just now, they saw Marbury's iconic change of direction for a layup, and the cheers rang out again.
So fast! So fast! I can’t guard against it!
Liu Mang didn't guard Marbury last season. At that time, Liu Mang felt that his physical fitness was too poor, but now his physical fitness is not only explosive, but also other strength, jumping, and speed are very strong.
, especially the speed and jumping are definitely top-notch, but they are still unstoppable!
Only then did I realize that my thinking was wrong. It wasn't that I couldn't guard him at that time, but that Marbury was so difficult to guard! Otherwise, how did he average 8 assists per game with sudden points?
The stronger he becomes, the more different Liu Mang sees the world, and the more he understands the true strength of his opponents.
But...this front-body change of direction is quite powerful! This gave Liu Mang more motivation to complete the task and get Marbury's early change of direction breakthrough!
But guarding Marbury... is really difficult! When Liu Mang received the serve and advanced, he glanced at Prince with a resentful look. If this guy improved faster, wouldn't someone be able to guard Marbury?
Chapter completed!
