Chapter 1561 1560. War Roar vs Wolf Roar

"Ding... Features: War cry is triggered at level 1. Effect 1: The host's roar after each goal has a certain degree of restraint on the enemy Kevin Garnett's totem talent skill Wolf Blood Boiling; Effect 2: When Kevin - After Garnett roars after making a wonderful shot, if the host successfully responds and roars after making a wonderful shot, the battle cry can be triggered. There is a ten percent chance of offsetting the negative impact of the roar on the host team and suppressing the roar on Kevin- The positive influence of Garnett's teammates. Every time he defeats Kevin Garnett, this characteristic increases by 1 level. If he loses a game to Kevin Garnett, this skill returns to level 1."

Kevin Garnett has a special place because of his bad temper over the years.

Liu Mang, on the other hand, had the same special feature thanks to the system!

I have to say that when Garnett made a mid-range shot and screamed, everyone else thought it was normal, but Liu Mang... including Garnett, felt an indescribable sense of violation.

And Garnett felt a provocation...or a challenge!

"If you don't play well today, you will definitely be beaten by that guy, and this year's playoffs will not be good!"

Garnett felt a little bit of emotional change on the players because of Liu Mang's roar after scoring the goal. He understood Liu Mang's intention and had no way to stop it. He could only go back!

Just do it if you think of it!

After Garnett reached the frontcourt, he relied on Marion to ask for the ball in the mid-range. Reed passed the ball to Garnett and started running. Hinrich's fixed-point three-pointer, Reed's movement, Luol Deng ’s cutting, Ben Wallace’s eating, the Bulls’ offense is not very good, but the starting lineup is not too bad either.

Seeing that the defense around him was being taken away, Garnett worked hard and shot with full energy...turn over and shoot a fadeaway jumper!

"Shua"

Hit!

"Ding... Features: Wolf Roar is triggered at level 5, which greatly increases the enthusiasm of teammates and reduces the defender's confidence. It comes from Kevin Garnett."

Looking at Garnett who was looking in the mirror while retreating and beating his chest and roaring, Liu Mang felt that Garnett was really troublesome when it came to mid-range shots. He was stable and accurate and made many shots.

Garnett's mid-range shooting rating of 97 is better than Liu Mang's. From the perspective of shooting percentage, among the players who have made more than 100 mid-range shots, except for Nowitzki's career average mid-range shooting percentage of 47% and Nash's 100. With an average mid-range shooting percentage of 47.8%, no current player has a better mid-range shooting percentage than Garnett's career mid-range shooting percentage of 46%.

For example, Kobe only has 44%, Duncan has only 39%, Liu Mang has only 42%, and Paul has 45%.

Of course, this "only" is compared to Nash, Nowitzki, and Garnett. For most players, a mid-range shooting rate of more than 35% is already outstanding. After all, mid-range shooting is very good. The area is too wide.

When the Eagles attacked, Rondo advanced to the frontcourt with Hinrich's defense. Liu Mang was already relying on Reed to ask for the ball, and Rondo immediately passed the ball.

Liu Mang received the ball and suddenly turned around and took a mid-range shot...

Reed's defensive enthusiasm and ability were too underestimated. Liu Mang's fadeaway jumper, similar to Jordan's, slipped a long way in the air, but Reed interfered in place!

Liu Mang's CIC is solid!

Garnett defends the defensive rebound!

There was no fast break. Even because Liu Mang made a sudden shot, the Hawks' defense was messy and their foothold was not stable. The Bulls also played at a high pace.

With Reid this season, the Bulls' offensive efficiency is actually very good. The low score is because their head coach Thibodeau consciously presses the pace and does not speed up with changes in rules and regulations like other teams.

Garnett advanced to the frontcourt like a defender. Marion tried to intercept the pressing defensive steal at the midline position, but Garnett took the opportunity to speed up!

After halftime, the Bulls suddenly picked up the speed. Garnett rushed into the three-point line, Marion chased behind, Kwame Brown came to the free throw line to intercept, and Garnett passed the ball to the free throw line. On the right side, Ben Wallace cuts in to catch the ball and dunks in two steps!

Ben Wallace's muscles and bounce were unparalleled even at the age of 34. McGrady stepped in and thought for a while but decided not to fight Ben Wallace. He put his hands on his chest to avoid being hit.

Ben Wallace's bounce speed has slowed down a lot as he got older, but his bounce height is still very good. He swung the ball round and hit the basket...

"Bang"

"Snapped"

"哐"

Three voices sounded in a row!

The fans at the scene suddenly became excited!

The Eagles players hurried up and saw Liu Mang lying on the floor rubbing his butt and grinning, but it seemed like nothing was wrong and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The scene just now was too exaggerated. No one expected Liu Mang to go back and collide with a center forward who was famous for his muscles and confrontation!

Just now, Liu Mang rushed forward and collided with Ben Wallace in the air. Liu Mang was knocked backwards, but before flying backwards, he caught the ball! When Ben Wallace hit his hand on the basket, the ball had already flown out!

Although Liu Mang is the outside shot-blocking leader this season, no one expected him to do this. Liu Mang usually blocks shots from an angle, rather than this one-on-one frontal approach.

Seeing that Liu Mang was fine, the referee blew the whistle and the ball went out of bounds, and the Bulls kicked the ball in the frontcourt.

The Bulls players were also scared, this is too life-threatening!

But what haven’t Bulls players seen? They are the closest people to the historical single-game record in the playoffs. They will not be surprised by anything Liu Mang does, nor will they be hit by it.

What could be a bigger blow than the opponent breaking the historical record in front of him last season? The Bulls players have excellent psychological quality.

The Bulls players are preparing for the attack again. There are only more than 7 seconds left for the attack, which means that they must make a decision on how to throw the ball immediately after the attack. Suddenly, they heard a strange cry.

"Awoo..."

Seeing Liu Mang stand up and beat his chest like a gorilla, the sound he made was a wolf-like roar...

"Ding... Characteristics: War Cry Level 1 is triggered, Kevin Garnett's characteristic wolf roar is greatly suppressed."

"My master guessed it right!"

Liu Mang heard the fans at the scene start to imitate his shouting, and immediately went to his defensive position.

Just as Liu Mang guessed, Garnett was judged to have the characteristic of "Wolf Roar", which is indiscriminately targeting all players on the court. It boosts the morale of his own team and hits the morale of the opponent. This is a very broad effect.

And Liu Mang's system skill is directly targeted at Garnett, and it is only useful for Garnett, so the restraint ability is very strong, even at level 1.

The Bulls players now have a very awkward feeling.

Normally, even if someone yells at Garnett, it will not have any impact on the Bulls players. From the role of team leader, Garnett's ability to motivate teammates is indeed top-notch.

But this time the Bulls players feel too awkward!

There is a deep feeling of being teased!

If a "thorny" player from another team yells at Garnett, the Bulls players will only treat it as a provocation, and then use their defense to defend the opponent to death. This season, they only lost 91 points per game in the regular season, and their average loss of 99.1 points this season is so low that it is desperate.

But Liu Mang's "fancy roar" is different...

There is no time for the Bulls players to think more, but this awkward feeling of being teased is engraved in their senses.

The Bulls continued to attack, Reed ran to receive the ball and missed the three-pointer. Liu Mang used his teammates to block the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Rondo, preparing for a fast break.

However, the Bulls retreated quickly. Garnett and Ben Wallace tried to attack the offensive rebound but still retreated to the right position. Garnett, needless to say, is the most mobile inside player in the league. Although Ben Wallace is old and his explosive power and speed have declined, the regular speed of a muscular inside player who may not even be 2.06 meters tall has not declined much.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, Liu Mang did not intend to continue to compete with Garnett for mid-range shots. He was not at an advantage at all. The other player was 2.1 meters tall facing a 2.01 meter fadeaway. Liu Mang was 1.93 meters tall facing Reed who was 1.98 meters tall...

Just run the tactics honestly!

Changing the rhythm according to the opponent's rhythm is the strongest point of the Hawks now. When playing against the Bulls, they naturally have to defend. There are really no particularly good open opportunities on the offensive end.

Kwame Brown's dunk was poked by Garnett. The ball hit Kwame Brown's shoulder and bounced out of bounds. Not only did he not score, but the ball was still in the opponent's possession.

Garnett also got a block!

After getting the block, Garnett roared "Ah...Ah...Ah".

Since Liu Mang started to "roar in fancy ways", the biggest highlight of today's game has begun...

In the following games, Garnett and Liu Mang would roar at each other whenever they scored a good goal or blocked a shot, and their shouts were never the same. The TV director specially asked the staff responsible for the sound recording on the scene to record the roars of the two...

After the first quarter, neither team made a substitution, because the defense was very intense, and the Hawks were afraid that a rash substitution would affect the defensive efficiency of the players on the field.

Liu Mang sat back on the bench, and his physical energy was consumed a lot. Although it would not affect his performance, Liu Mang still took a physical potion.

Be willful with money! Stay in the best condition anytime and anywhere.

21 to 23, the Hawks are still two points behind!

Liu Mang was also surprised. Why did they often have an advantage when they went to Chicago, but always fell behind at the beginning when they returned to their home court?

But it doesn't matter, just grind slowly. They didn't make any substitutions, and the starters played the entire first quarter, and the other side did the same!

Liu Mang is now thinking about what other calls he can use later.

We can't lose to that No. 21!

...

After the break, the Hawks sent out Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Wade, Grant Hill, and O'Neal.

Obviously, this lineup is still aimed at grinding defense and consuming the opponent's physical energy.

The Hawks did a good job of defense in the first quarter. If it weren't for Garnett's 4-for-4 mid-range shooting performance, Liu Mang's defense with two blocks and one steal in a single quarter led the team to play an overall defense that was no worse than the Bulls' five starters.

Against Reed's running position, Garnett's high-post support, and Hinrich's overall control of the offensive system, with Liu Mang, the defense was very good.

On the Bulls side, as expected by the Hawks, except for Ben Wallace at the center position replaced by Big Z, no other positions were replaced.

The Bulls attacked first. The biggest defensive flaw of the Hawks lineup was Jason Terry. When Hinrich encountered Jason Terry's defense, he chose to shoot a three-pointer directly...

The Hawks had no choice but to gamble on this. Unlike the Bulls last season, this season they had to defend the forward-guard defense composed of Luol Deng and Reed.

However, it seemed that the gamble was right. With Reed, Hinrich's number of shots dropped sharply this season, and his offensive role was weakened. His mysterious shooting was much worse, averaging only 11 points and 6 assists per game.

This time, there was nothing wrong with Hinrich's choice to use his height to block Jason Terry's three-pointer. The problem was that he couldn't make the shot!

Grant Hill defended the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Wade, and the Hawks counterattacked!

For the 30-year-old O'Neal, counterattacks are a troublesome thing. Like many All-Stars, his state at the age of 29 or 30 has declined like an avalanche compared to his peak. Last year in the Pacers, he basically didn't run counterattacks.

But it was different in the Hawks this year. O'Neal ran very happily!

After all, O'Neal was much faster than Big Z Yao. With such a big body rushing over, Luol Deng had to stop O'Neal in the mid-range. Liu Mang was entangled by Reed, who was always fierce and desperate in wing defense. The defensive referee who was close to a hug when he didn't have the ball didn't blow the whistle. The Bulls' game whistle has always been loose, not to mention that this is the playoffs.

Grant Hill, who cut in, was within Garnett's defense range, and Hinrich went to defend Jason Terry's three-pointer.

After Wade rushed into the three-point line, he couldn't pass the ball out, and he couldn't get into the inside. Garnett was there, full of threats.

However, Wade didn't stop. After entering the three-point line, he slowed down his pace and wanted to attract defense, but no one cared about him!

Wade understood that the goal of the opponent's lineup to retreat was to defend others and let him shoot!

This is the Bulls' tactical strategy. Who made Wade's mid-range shots really bad after playing 39 games this season.

Wade saw that Big Z had entered the three-point line, and he didn't hesitate to make a mid-range jump shot!

Whether he can break through the Bulls' defense and whether he can counterattack when the opponent sends a very slow center like Big Z, it depends on Wade's mid-range shot this time!

In the expectant eyes of his teammates and fans at the scene, Wade did not miss his first mid-range shot and hit the rebound!

Good shot!

Wade unexpectedly hit the rebound at an angle to increase the success rate of his mid-range shot!

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Liu Mang yelled and retreated.

Garnett is about to explode!

Although he usually has a hot temper, a little study will show how calm he is. He just uses a irritable look to irritate his opponents. It is rare for him to be sent off after a conflict.

But this time, he is really going to explode!

"I will yell if you make a shot, but you can't yell if others make a shot!"
