Chapter 1525 1524. Three Eagles Flying Together (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Grant Hill is definitely not fast when playing guard now, but he is not slow when playing small forward, average level. And when playing power forward, he can be considered a speed power forward, not to mention Kwame Brown.

This lineup of the Eagles is just for cavalry tactics!

On the defensive end, this lineup is definitely not as strong as the inside combination of Mai Mang + Wade + Boomer, but it is more powerful!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry play together. Liu Mang is mainly responsible for attracting defense and passing the ball in transit. Wade suddenly shoots and Jason Terry shoots. Grant Hill's good awareness can help Liu Mang and Wade pick and roll. , and Grant Hill's mid-range shot is very good, Kwame Brown can just eat the cake and rush for rebounds.

Similarly, the Lakers have two defensive black holes in Radmanovic and Anfernee Hardaway. There is no need to talk about defense. Ski Man and Pence meet the Eagles Liu Mang + Jia on the outside. The super outside combination of Terry and Wade, a proper slingshot, has no other effect except to flank Liu Mang to prevent him from continuing to fight.

The Lakers' defensive end focuses on Liu Mang and guarding the basket. Liu Mang's one-on-one shooting percentage today is higher than that of the rest of the Hawks in open shots. The Lakers guard the basket and would rather give the Hawks long-range shots. Chance.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang also retracted many times to help Kwame Brown protect the inside.

The two teams were in a stalemate for a while at the beginning of the second quarter. In the third minute of the second quarter, Radmanovic hit an open three-pointer to tie the score!

At this time, the Lakers felt that an opportunity had come and wanted to take advantage of the situation and hit a climax. However, in such a game, one person should never be ignored-Jason Terry!

Liu Mang's side was heavily guarded, and Wade's finishing ability still needed to adapt to the current explosive speed. Wade's pick-and-roll encounter was a bit miserable when Odom switched defenses and was guided inside. A direct force breakout would also encounter Odom and Odom. Gasol's inside combination.

But Jason Terry has a good chance!

After the Lakers tied the score at 39-39, Jason Terry reached the frontcourt and received a pass from Liu Mang, pulled up the ball and threw a three-pointer...

In!

Liu Mang got the first assist in the second quarter!

This assist didn't even require Liu Mang's help to attract the defense. Jason Terry shot directly in front of Anfernee Hardaway!

However...this is just the beginning!

At 4 minutes and 7 seconds of the second quarter, the Lakers narrowed the point difference to 1 point again. Jason Terry hit his second consecutive three-pointer to open the point difference to 4 points...

At 4 minutes and 57 seconds of the second quarter, Kobe used Gasol's pick-and-roll and received a pass from Odom and hit a mid-range shot to narrow the point difference to two points. Jason Terry hit his third consecutive three-pointer to close the point. The difference is up to five points.

At the 6th minute and 11 seconds, Kobe and Gasol cooperated. After the two picked and rolled, they attacked the inside from both sides at the same time. After containing the defense, they passed the ball to Odom who cut in the middle. Odom took the dunk with one hand. Two points later, the score difference was once again chased to 1 point.

Then Jason Terry hit his fourth consecutive three-pointer, once again opening the point difference to 4 points.

This time Lakers head coach Phil Jackson called a timeout!

Zen Master is not afraid of falling behind or chasing points, but he is afraid of the situation where he is about to gain momentum and is thrown into a three-pointer by the opponent to forcibly kill the momentum.

Jason Terry made 5 of 7 in the half quarter, including 1 of 3 from mid-range. He only took 4 three-pointers, but all 4 of his attempts were scored!

53 to 49, the Eagles continue to maintain a 4-point lead!

Liu Mang felt like he was Fisher. He pushed the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Wade. Wade broke out and passed it to Jason Terry. Jason Terry threw it directly. Wade had such breakthrough speed and cutting speed. The speed is quite impressive, and Liu Mang can attract the defense. Jason Terry, a genius, can make waves accurately and completely go berserk!

Liu Mang got 4 assists while lying down!

Liu Mang had 22 points and 8 assists!

Jason Terry's four consecutive three-pointers were too morale-boosting. During the timeout, the Eagles were extremely restless.

As for the Lakers, their morale suffered a huge blow.

Every time the Lakers were about to take the lead, Jason Terry gave them a head-on blow.

Who would have thought that Jason Terry, who often hit two or three shots from a dozen shots this season, would explode when he said it, and he would score 14 points in half a quarter!

This is even comparable to Liu Mang's crazy score surge in the first quarter!

Liu Mang has finished competing with Jason Terry. Jason Terry has had enough competition now. Liu Mang is wearing training clothes, but Tracy McGrady is taking off his training clothes...

"Okay, come here quickly, BIG-YAO, are you ready?" The Zen master tapped the tactical board as if nothing had happened.

Zen Master's coaching style, which is regarded as "pretentious", does not yell, make trouble, get angry or get excited. At certain moments, it is like a tonic for the players.

Kobe is the soul of the Lakers, and Zen Master is the backbone. The soul may jump, but the backbone is not that restless.

The Lakers players saw Master Zen calmly arranging the next tactics, and their mentality gradually calmed down...

The game is still long, it’s only the second quarter!

Just as the Zen master was calmly responding to the current situation, Liu Mang heard a familiar prompt.

"Ding...Head coach field: Zen heart is triggered, and the mentality of the Lakers players about to collapse is relieved, from Phil Jackson."

"Here we go again, why hasn't this KFC grandpa retired?" Liu Mang sat on his chair and looked at the players gathered in a circle and complained.

The Zen Master did not hide anything and directly asked Yao Ming to take off his training clothes and prepare to play.

Coach Kruger also replaced Gasol, who had played for only more than two minutes in the first quarter and had a miraculous effect.

The Lakers sent out the starting lineup of Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Gasol, and Yao Ming again.

On the Hawks side, Wade, Jason Terry, McGrady, Kwame Brown, and Gasol played.

Coach Kruger still wanted to let Liu Mang rest for a while. He did not replace Rondo but kept Wade because of height considerations. If Rondo and Jason Terry played together, the height would be too terrible.

After the timeout, the Lakers attacked.

After Fisher received the serve, he advanced to the three-point line and passed the ball to Gasol, who was one step outside the free throw line.

Liu Mang watched Gasol guide Yao Ming to his position on the sidelines. Sure enough, the opponent still wanted to attack Yao Ming.

Liu Mang felt very strange: "Didn't you suffer? No!"

Liu Mang found that Yao Ming received the ball from a much farther position than before!

Sure enough!

When Yao Ming received the ball, he took a step back toward the three-point line, the kind of receiving method where he turned around and took a step back without pushing the basket at the moment of receiving the ball!

After receiving the ball, Yao Ming and Gasol separated a little space and stood back to shoot!

At the same time, Kobe and Ariza rushed into the inside, ready to force the rebound.

But this time Yao Ming's single shot went in!

If Yao Ming retreats or turns over to jump after landing in the low position...If he can't squeeze Gasol at all, it is equivalent to giving a shot. It is true that Yao Ming's height makes it difficult to block the mid-range shot when his wingspan is not so good, but when he is close in the three-second zone, facing Gasol, who has excellent height and wingspan, and turning around to jump, it is no different from looking for a shot.

But this time Yao Ming did not receive the ball in the low position, but at close range. He created a little space from the beginning of receiving the ball and finally made the first single shot of the game.

This is the way that Gasol's brother thought of to deal with his brother's fat body and defensive awareness that can't be seen from his body shape, and taught it to Yao Ming. Yao Ming has solid basic skills and did a very good job!

This is what O'Neal can't do when he gets old. He doesn't have Yao Ming's mid-range threat. Although O'Neal has better turning and flexibility than Yao Ming, he can't complete Yao Ming's style of play. When O'Neal is on the court, Gasol doesn't leave the three-second zone at all.

After scoring, Yao Ming clenched his fist and retreated with all his strength.

The Zen Master saw Yao Ming scored and breathed a sigh of relief. Whether the first attack after the timeout was successful or not had a great impact on the Lakers. The Lakers' current morale was forced by the Zen Master's "pretending".

The Hawks attacked, and Wade scored two points with a mid-range jump shot after McGrady's pick-and-roll.

Relying on the personal ability of the super outside group, with so many stars, when the Hawks don't play those team-type tactics like Princeton, it is this simple triangle cooperation.

It's the Lakers' turn to attack.

Yao Ming continued to approach the low post and asked for the ball from Gasol. After receiving the ball, he raised it up. Gasol quickly pressed forward to block it. At this time, he took the ball back and turned around. Yao Ming's huge body went directly into the three-second zone!

It was useless for Kwame Brown to shrink in. He was blocked by Yao Ming's huge back. Yao Ming made a one-handed layup and scored two points.

Dream footwork!

Yao Ming used the dream footwork that is almost lost among the inside players in the league!

The Lakers continued to tenaciously maintain the possibility of tying or even surpassing the score at any time!

The two teams started a tug-of-war in the last few minutes of the first half. The Lakers stared at Jason Terry. Kobe was like a mad dog and did not give Jason Terry a chance to shoot. However, Wade and McGrady played a good pick-and-roll match. Wade seemed to be born to play pick-and-roll with a 2.06-meter all-around forward-guard swingman. The two cooperated very well and maintained the continuity of scoring.

On the Lakers side, Yao Ming was forced to leave the three-second zone in the first quarter, which was not entirely a bad thing. On the offensive end, he only opened up space in the mid-range in the first quarter, which was actually helpful to his physical fitness. Now that he has found a coping strategy, he played four consecutive singles and made 3 of 4 shots, helping the Lakers maintain the possibility of tying or overtaking the score before the end of the half.

Finally, when there was 1 minute left in the first half, Kobe, who had been slow on the offensive end for a few minutes, received a mid-range shot from Yao Ming after being double-teamed, and the Lakers tied the score!

64-64!

But... the Jets, who had been silent for a few minutes, were out again at this time!

Jason Terry waved to the bench not to pause, and directly asked for the ball to advance to the frontcourt. After rushing to the three-point line and being stuck by Kobe, Jason Terry faced Kobe's defense and directly shot a three-pointer from the top arc...

Liu Mang had taken off half of his training suit, and his head was in the training suit. Suddenly, he was pulled by a hand and the training suit was forcibly put back.

At this time, Liu Mang heard the referee's whistle.

Liu Mang looked at the court, Jason Terry was walking around the court with his arms open!

A three-point foul?

Liu Mang looked at the referee, and the referee's gesture was 1 free throw!

When Liu Mang looked up, Jason Terry had just opened his arms outside the three-point line, so it was 3+1!

Liu Mang felt that his teammates on the bench were all exploded!

With Jason Terry's free throw, the Hawks once again widened the gap to 4 points!

OK!

Liu Mang leaned back in his chair. Now with Wade and McGrady maintaining regular offense and Jason Terry making five consecutive three-pointers, Liu Mang was waiting for the second half of the game.

Kobe was naturally unwilling to be outdone. When the Lakers attacked, Kobe received a pass from Fisher at a 45-degree angle on the right. Yao Ming played a few times, and now he just played the role of restraining the inside line.

Kobe faced McGrady's defense at a 45-degree angle and began to use his head to hit McGrady's chest. After a few seconds of hesitation, Kobe might have felt it was in place. He suddenly pulled up and shot a three-pointer against McGrady's defense...

Also scored!

The Lakers' morale, which had just been suppressed by Jason Terry, became active again!

There were 14 seconds left, 67 to 68, a difference of 1 point, which the Lakers could accept.

After all, Liu Mang of the Hawks scored 20 points in the first quarter, and Jason Terry had already scored 18 points in the second quarter.

But...

The Hawks' last attack...

When Jason Terry dribbled the ball to the last two seconds, he hit another three-pointer against Kobe's defense!

Jason Terry played the entire quarter with 6 out of 6 three-pointers and 1 out of 3 mid-range shots!

71 to 67, with Jason Terry's buzzer-beating three-pointer, the Hawks ended the first half with a 4-point lead!

The Lakers players, who were still secretly happy that the score difference was only 1 point a dozen seconds ago, felt that they had suffered tons of damage!

This was the case before the official timeout in the second quarter. The Hawks relied on Jason Terry's three-minute rush to kill their hopes of catching up with the score. Before the end of the half, Jason Terry did it again, hitting two consecutive three-pointers, once again shaking the Lakers' confidence!

Six consecutive three-pointers, which can rank fourth in the Hawks' history!

Liu Mang once set an NBA record of 10 consecutive three-pointers, as well as seven consecutive three-pointers and eight consecutive three-pointers.

McGrady's personal record also has an eight-game three-pointer, which was played against James when he was still in the Magic in the 03-04 season.

Now Jason Terry has the opportunity to catch up with Liu Mang and McGrady's eight consecutive three-pointers.

Maybe it is possible to catch up with Kobe's nine consecutive three-pointers or Liu Mang's ten consecutive three-pointers... The commentators of these two TV stations also think it is too difficult, but it is still possible to catch up with eight consecutive three-pointers, at least it is only one away from Liu Mang's third in team history, seven consecutive three-pointers!

The Lakers' morale is now under attack, mainly not because of the 4-point difference, 4-point difference is nothing, Kobe just scored 5 points in the last minute.

But Liu Mang scored 20 points in the first quarter, Jason Terry scored 21 points in the second quarter, and the three eagles' spurts were one after another, and Jason Terry's were all key shots.

Who can remain calm in the face of such performance from the opponent!
