Chapter 1120 1119. Fatal Four-Hit Combo!
The official timeout in the fourth quarter came back. So far in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang had made one of three three-pointers. The Spurs continued to use single defense to deal with the Hawks.
This time he did not continue to hold the ball and play one-on-one. The effect of single play was not so good. There were more mid-range opportunities, but Sprewell stuck to his three-pointer and would rather let him break through.
This time McGrady held the ball, Liu Mang played without the ball, and after the pick-and-roll with Rasheed Wallace, Liu Mang used his speed to quickly rush to the right corner.
McGrady's assist king last season was not given for nothing. He immediately sent the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang shot a three-pointer from the right corner...
The fast shooting master level 5 was triggered. Before Parker came to defend, Liu Mang used a three-pointer shooting speed faster than single play to shoot the ball steadily and quickly...
The eighth three-pointer finally hit!
"Ding... The third stage of the King's Landing series of tasks: Era Pioneer Task Objective 3: Score at least 8 three-pointers in a single game against the Spurs. 8 three-pointers have been scored, and the task objective has been completed."
Parker looked at Liu Mang with a smile on his face. Looking at the 10-point difference of 82 to 92, Parker felt that he was going to die.
But the Spurs did not give up! There were still 5 minutes and 11 seconds left, enough time, and the score difference was only 10 points! There was still a chance to defend for three or four rounds and then score!
The Spurs' tenacious resilience, Sprewell and Ginobili scored two three-pointers in a row in the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, and both were shot against defense, and the score was chased to 88 to 94, narrowing the score difference to 6 points.
There were three minutes left, a 6-point difference, and the Spurs' chance came!
When the score difference was narrowed to 6 points, the Hawks called a timeout in time.
After the timeout, the Hawks replaced Kwame Brown, who scored 9 points and 10 rebounds in the matchup with Duncan but was exhausted, with Josh Smith, and let Rasheed Wallace and Josh Smith partner in the interior, and the three Hawks on the outside remained unchanged.
Liu Mang took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. He saw McGrady was one step outside the 45-degree angle on the right side, almost stepping on the sideline to ask for the ball, and Liu Mang immediately passed it to him.
Then... Liu Mang didn't expect it! McGrady received the ball and shot it directly from almost one meter away from the three-point line!
At this time, McGrady, who had already scored 18 points with 6 of 16 shots, showed his power! A three-pointer hit, 21 points! The third player to score more than 20 points in the game!
97 to 88 McGrady came directly and returned the three-pointer that Sprewell forced over his head at the timeout just now!
As the saying goes, the first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.
When the Spurs were pulled to 11 points by Liu Mang's three-pointer, they chased the difference to 7 points in one go. Liu Mang's three-pointer from the bottom corner once again exhausted the Spurs' momentum to chase the difference to 7 points, but the Spurs did not give up and made another effort to chase the difference to 6 points.
But Ginobili and Sprewell finally made two three-pointers in a row, but McGrady came up and received the ball and threw a three-pointer directly!
Looking at the 9-point difference, the Spurs felt that their spirit was about to be killed!
The Spurs attacked, Ginobili received the ball after reaching the frontcourt, and looked for offensive opportunities in the face of Liu Mang's defense.
Liu Mang's feeling of covering the opponent did not have much impact on Ginobili before. Ginobili regarded himself as a superstar from the bottom of his heart. Of course, when he was a monster, he was really like a superstar on the offensive end, especially he was a stable nerve knife, so he looked like a superstar for a long time.
But now, when that spirit was about to be exhausted, he finally had the feeling of Parker.
Not only shooting, but also defense has improved so much!
The heavy psychological pressure made Ginobili hesitate to make decisions on this ball. He was the best at scoring in the team, and he didn't want to pass the ball at this time, but he was under pressure and didn't dare to make a shooting choice easily under Liu Mang's defense.
In this way, Ginobili, who was usually very good at passing or shooting, stuck to the ball!
"Ding... Due to Manu Ginobili's hesitation, the effect of the characteristic: the demon sword ends."
When Liu Mang heard this prompt, he knew that Ginobili's game was over. What's the difference between Ginobili who is not a demon and an ordinary sixth man who is good at breakthroughs and has three-pointers but no defense?
Ginobili is difficult to defend because of his incredible playing style!
Liu Mang was not in a hurry, and he maintained the defensive threat like that. Ginobili saw that the 24-second offensive time was coming, and Popovich was already roaring on the sidelines. He finally made a decision and passed the ball... out!
Parker ran outside the three-point line, but he didn't expect the ball to be passed to him!
Parker took a three-point shot under Jason Terry's pursuit...
Three misses!
Fortunately, Duncan was still uncertain at this time, and used his super static physical fitness to touch the ball in the air and put the ball into the basket.
90 to 97, the Spurs still have a chance in theory.
Attack and defense changed, the Hawks attacked, and when Liu Mang received the serve, Sprewell started a full-court press amid Popovich's roar!
Liu Mang received the ball, with his back against Sprewell who was pressing the full court, and turned around forcefully, making a small move. When he turned around, he shook his arm, which looked like a normal turn, but Liu Mang's iron elbow hit Sprewell's ribs, almost knocking Sprewell out of breath!
Liu Mang took the opportunity to accelerate towards the frontcourt. When Liu Mang rushed to the midline, Parker blocked him. Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry who ran to the top arc.
Jason Terry caught the ball, but didn't shoot!
When Duncan saved the ball, he slapped the ball on the ground, took a small step, grabbed the bouncing ball and jumped to the right, avoiding Duncan's defense. Manu Ginobili When the defense came up, Tracy McGrady, who was waiting eagerly on the right sideline, threw it directly against the defense without giving it to him!
Jason Terry's anti-aircraft gun three-pointer, an unreasonable shot and an unreasonable goal!
McGrady was speechless. His two teammates had gone too far! Dude, how many times has he been open and missed the ball?
But seeing the score of 100 to 90...
We have to beat the Spurs again. When I was with the Magic, I couldn't beat the Spurs for several years... That's why McGrady was so crazy when he played against the Spurs for the first time after coming to the Hawks. Because there was a chance to win, McGrady thought. It’s going to take a fight.
McGrady ran up to Jason Terry excitedly and bumped chests with Jason Terry in celebration!
Popovich called a timeout!
One minute and fifty-three seconds left, ten points difference!
Popovich is confused!
Once again, the Eagles were stunned!
The Eagles' fatal three-point four-hit combo!
The Spurs chased points four times, but were killed by Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Jason Terry!
And they are all such unreasonable goals.
Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady are fine, but the most deadly one is Jason Terry. Is that a normal person's way of playing? My teammates all wanted to hit someone when they saw it.
However, Jason Terry did not shoot in the open space or after shaking the big man away. When Ginobili pounced on him, he faced the defense and shot the ball!
This style of play is simply despairing!
The Spurs have Ginobili who can shoot the magic ball, but the Hawks have three who can shoot the magic ball! And none of them are worse than Ginobili!
…
After fighting until this point, how could the Spurs give up? They still had to fight in the last minute or so, but the effect... In the last minute or so, the Spurs only scored two points. Ginobili was in With a good shooting percentage of 40%, 8 out of 20 shots, I was stunned to throw four in the last minute or so, and all of them missed...
In one round, Duncan swatted the ball over Rasheed Wallace three times in a row. Ginobili made four consecutive shots, all of which were missed, but he didn't make any of them!
Although the Eagles did not score a point in the last minute or so, they allowed the opponent to only score two points!
Duncan scored a steady 20 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks. Sprewell also scored 20 points today.
However, in the end, thanks to Liu Mang's 41 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, Tracy McGrady's 21 points, Jason Terry's 16 points, and the Three Eagles' combined 78 points, Ginobili performed well at first, but in the end he was forced to He held on to the score while shooting 8 of 24 shots with a hit rate of only 33%!
The Hawks defeated the Spurs 100-92 at home and won their fourth consecutive home victory!
The Chinese New Year war, the Chinese won!
Liu Mang scored 15 points in the third quarter and 8 points in the fourth quarter. He made 14 of 31 shots from the field and scored 41 points. The key was 10 assists! Mainly due to the 3 assists in the third quarter and 4 assists in the fourth quarter, they are the key to the Eagles' victory!
Liu Mang has now made new progress in the use of his own strength and the use of star cards and special cards!
…
Post-game interview.
"Ace, congratulations on your victory. Your four three-pointers in the third quarter were so domineering. Are you going to use three-pointers as your main scoring method in the future?" Director Zhang said in a game without the participation of the Lakers. , showing his favorite statement about the Eagles.
"Not necessarily, I'm still looking for a scoring method that suits me." Liu Mang replied.
"Ace, are you still looking for ways to score? Your offensive methods are already very mature!" Director Zhang said in surprise.
"Ah, Director Zhang was talking about the offensive method. I was talking about the shooting point. I think the NBA three-point line should be expanded a bit, such as creating a four-point line. I might be able to play better."
Liu Mang said it very seriously. Director Zhang was speechless when he heard it. He would never let go of the opportunity to show off! This is it!
When you lost a game before, you refused the interview directly after the game? If you win, show off!
Director Zhang is also a sensible person. Knowing that Liu Mang did not know the outcome before the game, he would deliberately restrain himself. After winning, he would show off and cooperate decisively in the interview.
However, today's game did make the Eagles more popular among domestic fans. Compared with the Spurs, the Eagles' unreasonable style of play is too easy to attract the love of fans!
The Spurs' style of play is often more likely to attract the attention of old fans, but now that the NBA has truly entered the Chinese market with all its strength, it has been less than ten years, so the players who attract the most fans at this stage are the players with the type of play of the four major shooting guards. .
Of course, it not only attracts the love of fans, but also a lot of negative fans, because the four major shooting guards, even Carter, who is relatively the most reasonable player, have many shortcomings, such as preferring academic qualifications to the playoffs, such as not having any Koai’s desire to win.
And Liu Mang is even more profligate than them! Even more unreasonable! There are more flaws and black spots.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Mang gradually surpassed Kobe and became the most controversial player!
