Chapter 1141 1140. Shark-Cutting Feast at the All-Stars Game

Seeing the difference narrowed to within 10 points, Kobe was a little bit arrogant and started to act wildly!

After receiving the pass from Nash, Kobe took two steps to shoot at O'Neal while O'Neal was shrinking back...

O'Neal, who was extremely focused on the defensive end, seized the opportunity and demonstrated his blocking ability as the top player in a single game, blocking Kobe's shot from the front.

James grabbed the ball and immediately threw it to the midline, and Liu Mang was almost down!

Liu Mang was very comfortable receiving the pass from James, and he could receive the ball as soon as he ran to the right position, and James' pass also made his teammates feel very comfortable!

When Liu Mang rushed across the midline first, he just received the ball, and the road ahead was unobstructed. Only Nash was chasing him...which meant no one was chasing him!

Liu Mang received the ball and was about to dribble and prepare to dunk from the three-point line with a big step and three steps to see if it would work. With the bonus of fancy dunks, the probability of success is very high, but as soon as he received the ball, he heard the referee's whistle!

Liu Mang turned his head and Nash also turned his head to see that it was not Nash who touched him. Looking forward, O'Neal angrily pushed away Duncan who was hugging him.

This...

There was an uproar at the scene!

Liu Mang did not expect this to happen!

The opponent used the Hack-a-Shaq tactic!

Duncan hugged O'Neal almost as soon as James got the ball. It was clear that it was not a temporary idea, but a premeditated and planned tactical foul!

When the Eastern team launched 5 consecutive counterattacks before, the Western team had accumulated 3 defensive fouls. When O'Neal stepped onto the free throw line just now, it was Kobe's shooting foul on O'Neal, which means that there were enough defensive fouls accumulated. This time O'Neal was fouled and sent directly to the free throw line!

No wonder O'Neal pushed Duncan away so angrily!

Liu Mang no longer had to guess that the opponent fouled O'Neal because he had launched a counterattack. When watching the replay, Liu Mang saw that Duncan hugged O'Neal almost as soon as James got the ball. It was clear that it was not a temporary idea, but a premeditated and planned tactical foul!

Popovich can be described as "sly"!

However, this ball can also be understood as seeing that Liu Mang had already rushed across half court, and the Western team committed a tactical foul. The fans just thought that this style of play was a bit annoying.

O'Neal went to the free throw line, and it was okay this time. He missed the first free throw, but made the second free throw. At least he made one of two free throws.

It was the Western team's turn to attack again. Kobe pulled out to receive the ball. It was difficult to play with O'Neal shrinking under the basket. The Eastern team was faster and did a good job of rotating defense. Kobe was ready to attack from the outside.

Kobe, who had already scored 14 points, was very confident now. He was still running when he received the pass from Nash. He jumped sideways at the top arc after receiving the ball, and directly shot a three-pointer under James's defense...

A frontal three-pointer hit the backboard!

45 to 53, the West team narrowed the gap to 8 points!

Just as Kobe made a three-pointer and Bosh just passed the ball to McGrady, the referee whistled again.

The referee was depressed, this is the All-Star Game!

This time the fans did not doubt it and started booing the players of the West team! Even though it was nominally the All-Star Game at the home court of the West, the fans could not care so much, and the whole court was booing!

Duncan gave O'Neal another hug of love!

The fans were sure, and the East team was also completely sure, the West team would use the Hack-a-Shaq tactic again!

Liu Mang was originally going to call a timeout after McGrady pushed forward to the frontcourt, but it was useless to call a timeout now. After calling a timeout, O'Neal still went to the free throw line!

Coach Kruger on the sidelines clapped his hands at Liu Mang and asked Liu Mang if he wanted to call a timeout. Liu Mang shook his head, Hack-a-Shaq, right? Then play to the end!

Liu Mang stood on the right side of the three-second zone, squeezed between Kobe and Duncan. Duncan and Kobe both tried to hold Liu Mang, not giving him any chance to grab the rebound.

O'Neal went to the free throw line in a rage. He had a hit rate of about 50%, but now O'Neal was very annoyed and missed both free throws!

This time the rebound bounced to the right. Just as Duncan was about to jump up, he was hugged by someone! He couldn't jump up!

The referee blew the whistle, and Liu Mang fouled in the rebound!

Before the foul count was reached, the West team had the ball at the baseline.

Duncan felt something was wrong and walked out of the baseline to prepare for the serve. Liu Mang didn't walk, as if he was going to interfere with the serve. McGrady was interfering with Nash's receiving the ball, and Duncan passed the ball to Kobe.

Seeing Kobe receiving the ball with James circling in front, Duncan just stepped into the court and ran forward, and was hugged again!

Liu Mang fouled Duncan twice in a row!

The referee was a little dumbfounded, but he was professional and blew the whistle in time!

The West team's sideline ball.

Popovich, who was sitting on the sidelines with a smile on his face, stood up.

What's going on...

Sure enough, this time Duncan didn't serve the ball, and Liu Mang was still beside Duncan. As soon as Nowitzki passed the ball to Nash, Liu Mang hugged Duncan again!

The East team fouled for the fourth time, enough fouls, Duncan got two free throws!

Hack-a-Shaq? Liu Mang said he would accompany him to the end!

There is a special rule in the All-Stars. No matter how many fouls you commit, you will not be sent out. Of course, technical fouls and flagrant fouls will still be sent out, but it seems that no one except Rasheed Wallace has received a technical foul during the All-Star weekend. Rasheed Wallace has only received one foul, and there has never been a flagrant foul. After all, most of the time they are just playing around. Even at the critical moment, the All-Stars don't bother to make a move.

The referee now has a "who am I, where am I, where am I going..." mood.

What happened to this year’s All-Star Game!

Duncan fouled O'Neal continuously, but the Eastern team was shocked. Liu Mang fouled Duncan three times in a row. This time the other nine players were shocked!

No one expected that Liu Mang would do this!

The Western team took advantage of the rules, and the most shameless Spurs players did it. Even the Eastern team players thought it was normal, and now the Eastern team does it too!

Kobe almost yelled, "Shaq did it too," but luckily he didn't yell because it was Liu Mang who did it.

From the moment Liu Mang made two consecutive fouls, the crowd started cheering.

Liu Mang fouled Duncan three times in a row, and the scene was already excited!

Hearing the cheers at the scene, Kobe was puzzled. Duncan slashed a shark and the fans booed. Liu Mang also slashed a shark. Why were the fans cheering?

Sometimes you do bad things, and the one who does it first always gets the worst scolding. When the victim does the same bad thing, and it is done to the perpetrator, people have a kind of sympathy and revenge.

O'Neal was originally very unhappy with Liu Mang, but at this moment, he felt that Liu Mang was too righteous!

He couldn't do the same thing as Duncan, so Liu Mang did it for him!

"Is my fatness too much? No, I'm not fat, I'm just a little too much. Let's forgive the Eagles this time." O'Neal felt that Liu Mang was so likable for the first time except Liu Mang's quarrel with Kobe.

Especially when he saw the Hawks' top five starters doing all they could to get rid of the Western Conference All-Stars in the first quarter, O'Neal even fantasized about replacing Kwame Brown with him...

But when I saw Liu Mang's "I've done it too" look, and the stunned Kobe beside me, I thought about it and decided not to do it. It was quite sad not to be able to catch the ball.

But this time Liu Mang was so angry that he unintentionally eliminated the time bomb that was O'Neal.

Liu Mang was still smiling proudly at Duncan. O'Neal walked up to Liu Mang and stood on the same side to pinch Kobe. Together with Liu Mang, he retaliated against Kobe and even patted Liu Mang on the back to show his goodwill.

That miserable Kobe had just attacked Liu Mang with Duncan. This time it was his turn to be attacked by the two people he hated the most.

It's a pity that Kobe doesn't know how to surf the Internet. Otherwise, if he occasionally watches the movies of the island country that are now popular in the online world, he might let out a heart-warming scream to the two small-minded guys Liu Mang and O'Neal...

Duncan walked to the free throw line, and this time it was his turn and he felt strange: being hacked...a little happy! Does this mean that old Deng is as good as O'Neal?

O'Neal, who has won three consecutive Finals MVPs, is undoubtedly higher than Duncan in history at this stage. Unless Duncan wins two or three more championships and at least one Finals MVP, it will be difficult to surpass O'Neal, or else he will take the wrong approach. Increase career wins and data accumulation.

Duncan's free throw...

He also missed two free throws!

Duncan's free throw shooting percentage this season is 60.3%, which is five percentage points higher than O'Neal. The second brother is no better than the eldest brother!

If it weren't for the four great players of Ben Wallace, Kwame Brown, Howard, and O'Neal, and people are not used to remembering the fifth person in the combination, Duncan could join them to form the NBA's "Five Refusals"! Among the NBA's post players who average more than three free throws per game, five of them rank in the bottom five in field goal percentage...

These five big guys disdain to score easy goals like free throws.

O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound!

Mud Bodhisattva is also angry. Duncan missed two free throws in excitement and was annoyed. He immediately rushed to the free throw line. O'Neal stopped struggling, opened his arms, and hugged Duncan.

Duncan had a warm and innocent smile on his face. He was so scared that he almost made a T sign when the referee blew the whistle. Fortunately, he remembered that this was the All-Star Game, grabbed his hand, raised it, and made a gesture toward the technical table. gesture for two free throws.

Duncan told Liu Mang and O'Neal with a warm and innocent smile: Keep hurting each other!

However, O'Neal was not going to continue playing such little tricks with Duncan. O'Neal calmed down this time and tried very hard to shoot free throws, but he still didn't make them when he should have. The first free throw was a deadlock again.

However, when it came to the second free throw, O'Neal didn't even aim at the basket. He threw the ball directly towards the basket and threw it out of the baseline for a three-touch penalty! The referee's whistle blows, a free throw violation!

O'Neal didn't give the Western Team a chance to rebound. If the Western Team grabbed the rebound, they couldn't call a timeout!

Liu Mang immediately understood and called a timeout!

O'Neal walked back to the bench, put on his training clothes on his own initiative, and was replaced on his own initiative!
