He can guard Francis on the outside, carry Maurice Taylor on the inside, stick his butt out in the low post and beat him hard, Liu Mang uses a Hayes star card to make him feel like Barkley!

This made the fans at the scene go crazy. Watching Liu Mang turn around and dunk with both hands, it was exactly like Barkley's style of play back then. Everyone went crazy!

Not to mention, they are about the same height, and although their playing styles are different, they have the same tough style of play. Except for one being fat and the other being lean, they really look like Barkley!

The big fat man who was live broadcasting fell into deep thought.

Liu Mang used to quarrel with Malone, but he seemed to be a fan of Malone. Later, he followed Malone to learn pick-and-roll and mid-range shots, and now he is a good mid-range threat.

Liu Mang also criticized Barkley, and even caused him to dance square dance with the aunts during the All-Star Weekend... However, in the current game, Barkley had a magical thought... Could this guy be himself?

fan?

…

Francis was completely frightened this time!

When the Rockets were on offense again, he dribbled the ball into the frontcourt without challenging Liu Mang's defense, and directly passed it to Yao Ming.

In the last three and a half minutes before halftime, Yao Ming, who had rested for half an hour, was replaced in order to take advantage of Yao Ming's dominance at the basket, which was absolutely full of physical strength.

Liu Mang saw Francis pushing forward to lob to Yao Ming, and immediately retreated to the basket. Rahim also came around, Boozer was behind, and Rahim went to the reasonable collision area to top the arc and prepared with both hands. On one side, he was preparing to rely on his height.

He stepped out of the reasonable collision zone with his weight to block Francis' mid-range cut, and was ready to attack Yao Ming immediately when Yao Ming hit Boozer with force.

Yao Ming saw that Rahim was double-teamed when Boozer was guarding him, and there was Liu Mang watching him, one on three? Yao Ming felt like he was being targeted!

Francis couldn't stand still when the top arc was empty. He stretched out his hand to ask for the ball from Yao Ming. Yao Ming passed the ball back. Francis caught the ball in the top arc and did not continue to rush inside this time. He was completely unconfident this time.

He chose the long-range shot that he was least good at, and took the ball directly outside the three-point line!

In the past two years, Francis' three-point shooting rate has been very stable, with a three-point shooting rate of 289%. It is a very touching shooting rate. When Francis shoots a shot, the five people in the paint can obviously see that the arc is crooked!

Yao Ming, Boozer, and Raheem are crowded together, and one person can contain two people. The Rockets' rebounding is very good. It seems that the average of 43 per game can only be considered in the upper reaches, not the top, but they defend their opponents by an average of 43 per game.

39 rebounds, an average of 4 rebounds per game, ranking third in the league! Yao Ming's role is to block people.

Yao Ming suppressed both Boozer and Raheem. Although he couldn't grab the rebound, he helped his teammates stay in position!

Maurice Taylor and Liu Mang crowded together, trying to push Liu Mang away to grab the rebound, but Liu Mang's lower body strength was so stable that it made Maurice Taylor want to cry! Moreover, Liu Mang's lower body strength skyrocketed, becoming as solid as a rock.

The probability of triggering has almost increased to the point where it will definitely trigger. He turned around and stretched out his long arms to squeeze back, squeezing out Maurice Taylor who had one foot in the three-second zone!

The ball hit the right side of the basket and bounced toward Liu Mang and Maurice Taylor. Liu Mang jumped up, leaning on Maurice Taylor behind his back, and grabbed the ball with one hand!

Maurice Taylor had no choice but to hug Liu Mang as he landed, and committed a tactical foul to prevent the Eagles from counterattacking.

The referee blew the whistle and the Rockets quickly retreated.

Due to the small number of fouls in the second quarter, Liu Mang broke away from Maurice Taylor's embrace and handed the ball to the referee before the free throw period.

The referee blew the whistle to continue the game and sent the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang sent it to Jason Terry. Jason Terry slowly advanced and already led 60 to 48 by 12 points. He could no longer play in a hurry.

After Liu Mang came to the frontcourt, he continued to walk inside. The Eagles continued to open up space. When the Rockets fell into a defensive formation, Francis and Maurice Taylor made eye contact and ran to guard Rahim's open space in the left corner.

After a three-pointer, Maurice Taylor defended Liu Mang under the basket.

Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt. He originally thought that Liu Mang would not back up when he encountered a power forward, but he saw that Liu Mang still sat up to suppress his opponent, and Maurice Taylor couldn't squeeze against someone shorter than himself. 13

Centimeter's point guard was pinned down by Liu Mang. Jason Terry didn't hesitate and was immediately hoisted in by Liu Mang.

A star's brutal style of play will make his teammates equally excited! Jason Terry is now excited about Liu Mang's low post!

The first time Liu Mang received the ball, Maurice Taylor pressed towards Liu Mang, trying to suppress Liu Mang with his height and weight, but Liu Mang was not only as hard-hitting as an inside man, he was also a real point guard with flexibility.

Like a loach, he followed Maurice Taylor's pressing defense, turned right flexibly, entered the three-second zone from the center, and faced the basket!

Maurice Taylor also reacted quickly. He stepped into the reasonable collision area and faced Liu Mang head-on. His steps were very fast, blocking the space for Liu Mang to dunk directly, but... Liu Mang turned left and returned to the right of the three-second zone.

The throw from the side edge easily fell into the basket.

So relaxing!

The Rockets were fooled!

After Francis advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Liu Mang retreating to the free throw line again. This time, his anger was gone and he did not pass the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming no longer caught the ball in the paint, but came out to open up the space. Liu Mang immediately

Switching defense with Raheem, Liu Mang went inside to defend Maurice Taylor alone.

Francis saw Raheem guarding the free throw line and Morris Taylor, who was blocked by Liu Mang at the basket, could only hand the ball to Mobley. Then Francis went to pick and roll Mobley, and Mobley and Francis screened and rolled.

Later, facing Raheem's single defense, there was no good chance, so he could only pass the ball to Jim Jackson.

Jim Jackson was forced to shoot a three-pointer by Jason Terry. Fortunately, he felt really good today and was lucky. The forced three-pointer bounced on the rim a few times. Maurice Taylor was shot by Liu

When Mang blocked the ball behind him and was about to collapse, he bounced into the basket.

51 to 62, the Rockets finally made a shot.

When the Eagles attack again, it's still the same style of play, with Liu Mang continuing to go to the low post.

Yao Ming returned to the basket to guard, Maurice Taylor went to guard Boozer's mid-range shot, and Yao Ming guarded the basket. Even if Liu Mang wanted to use his speed to retreat and hit the mid-range shot, the Rockets would not care and could not let it go.

How can a little guy with 193 be so powerful in the paint?

And double-teaming Liu Mang in the low post... If a player with a height of 1.93 meters can't guard him in singles in the paint, why not double-team him? How about losing face!

Liu Mang continued to catch the ball and play singles on the right side of the three-second zone. Watching Yao Ming take a step back and step on the edge of the reasonable collision zone, Liu Mang had an impulse!

This is an opportunity!

Once this impulse comes, it can’t be suppressed!

After Liu Mang received the ball with the basket on his back, he turned around and faced the frame to dribble in singles. Yao Ming was ready to pounce if Liu Mang jumped up to shoot. Such a tall height can always give him an advantage.

Liu Mang was moving, and suddenly he started to move. Instead of Liu Mang expecting to retreat and shoot, as Yao Ming expected, Liu Mang accelerated towards the basket!

With a lower limb strength of 91, Yao Ming gave him another step to start, and Liu Mang's strongest first step was triggered!

Liu Mang strode into the three-second zone. Yao Ming didn't even have a chance to block him. He couldn't react at all. It was too fast!

Stepping in front of Yao Ming, Liu Mang stepped heavily on the floor with his left foot, causing it to suddenly rise!

Although Yao Ming did not block Liu Mang's starting space, he stood in a good enough position. He was on the line of the reasonable collision zone and took off vertically. This is a very good position. He straightened his arms and took off vertically to avoid being fouled and at the same time want to do so.

Blocked Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang's strongest first step was triggered. His lower limb strength had increased to 94% of the bounce, plus the explosive speed of his strongest first step. When Yao Ming just jumped up, Liu Mang was already suppressing him.

Yao Ming smashed the ball into the basket!

Yao Ming's eyes went dark, and he was dunked in the front by Liu Mang in a low post!

With this dunk, the Rockets will collapse!

Seeing Liu Mang's ferocious expression when he landed and feeling the fanatical atmosphere at the scene, Yao Ming was a little dull.

Liu Mang relied on several consecutive low-post offenses and defenses, and when Rasheed Wallace was absent, he forced the atmosphere to feel like the Devil's home court. Everyone stood up and cheered wildly. The Rockets' interior defensive end continued to

They were humiliated by a point guard, and their offense was also messed up. The tactical arrangement was for Yao Ming to play low-post, but Yao Ming was completely unprepared for such a defense and did not know how to play. In turn, the entire Rockets team did not know what to do.

Why attack?

Jim Jackson received the ball again, and faced Jason Terry, the Eagles' worst perimeter defender, and continued to take action. This time, his luck was not so good. He hit a three-pointer, and Liu Mang once again carried Maurice Taylor to steal the defense.

In rebounding, Maurice Taylor could only foul. The Rockets had reached the number of fouls and Liu Mang got two free throws!

As Liu Mang made two free throws, the Eagles opened the point difference to 15 points 66-51!

…

In the second half of the second quarter, the defensive strategy discussed by Liu Mang and Mike Woodson was successful. It eliminated Yao Ming's low post threat. The Rockets could only make long-range shots. The main reason was that Yao Ming didn't know what to do in this situation. He never

I have encountered that Rockets head coach Van Gundy Jr.'s on-the-spot command was similar to that of his brother. Every time he encountered an unexpected situation, he could only be blind. The Rockets were beaten to the point of collapse in the second half of the second quarter.

On the offensive end, Liu Mang was able to kill everyone in the low post, forcing the Rockets to shrink their defense. Liu Mang began to pass inside and outside. Five players on the Eagles have mid-range or long-range shooting abilities. Liu Mang, Boozer, and Rahim

It can also guarantee rebounds. When Raheem and Boozer went to take on Yao Ming, Liu Mang's rebounds skyrocketed.

After halftime, the Eagles led 73 to 55 by 18 points!

The Rockets' half-court offense was good enough, but the Hawks scored as they should in three quarters!

Liu Mang had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists at halftime!

In the third quarter, Van Gundy Jr. was forced to let Yao Ming play the entire quarter. After the intermission, Yao Ming received the ball in the low post and played more resolutely. He tried to take the ball away with one step and then threw it directly, but because he could not carry it well,

When it came to the opportunity at the basket, even though Yao Ming was good with his hands, he was able to hit the ball half against the flanks of Boozer and Raheem.

Maurice Taylor easily picked up the rebound and counterattacked directly.

The Rockets didn't dare to replace Yao Ming with Cato. If Cato was replaced, Yao Ming would directly face the trio of Raheem, Liu Mang, Boozer or Kwame Brown and Ratliff.

Clamp, no need to hit it.

Liu Mang saw that the point difference was widened to more than 20 points. On the offensive end, he not only went to the low post, but also became more aggressive!

In the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 18 points and 5 assists, leading the Eagles to completely defeat the stunned Rockets! 100 to 77, the Eagles led by 23 points after three quarters!

After more than 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, the Rockets saw a score of 111 to 81, and the score difference was widened to 30 points by the Hawks. The Rockets announced their surrender!

For the Eagles, Liu Mang hasn't had enough! In the fourth quarter, he focused on passing the ball and sent out two assists. Before he started scoring, the Rockets fell! Liu Mang sounded old again.

With blood stuck in his throat, he planned to increase his score to 40 points, but Coach Kruger had already replaced him!
