Chapter 317 315. The Most Difficult Moment Has Arrived

Mourning is very angry, very angry!

Of course, this is out of the self-esteem of a super center, and he is very angry when he is detained.

But it's over, and I really appreciate Liu Mang's sharp-edged appearance!

This kind of cheap thinking is common to a basketball player. It seems that he has been abused and feels cheap. He thinks that the opponent is good, let alone the strength.

Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made a hit.

He really wasn’t talking nonsense. After having the experience of playing against the Knicks before, Liu Mang discovered a small problem. Most of the time, there is no problem. When two defensive teams are playing positions, if the referee whistles If it is not strict, it can prompt them to whistle tighter.

Just like now, the two teams used to compete in tactics. You speed up, I contain it, you fall to the ground, and I change defense.

So after being overthrown by Mourning, Liu Mang took the initiative to provoke conflicts.

Because I was the one being beaten, I just sprayed it, and at most it was a technical foul. If the opponent made a move, I would not be the one who was punished.

Sure enough, the referee's penalty was much tighter afterwards, for fear that the rookie would be fouled by the opponent again and would fight.

Originally, a rookie didn't have so many troubles. If he blows, he blows, and if he is suspended, he will be suspended. This rookie is now the league's top rookie in 2001, and the referee has to take care of his whistle.

When the whistle is tight, the Eagles have the advantage. Liu Mang is a master foul maker. Jason Terry is okay. Raheem's style of play has so much contact. Like James and Anthony, he has too much physical advantage at the small forward position, and he is not a popular player, so the referees of many opponents will not whistle for small moves, that is, the type of free throws that are said to be only for bleeding, and La Him himself is used to it, he plays very hard, the more he does not give the whistle to the outside line, the more difficult it is to shoot, he goes in and hits the basket, still maintains a very high efficiency, and has a body that is 5 cm taller than him The same players are very different, not iron blood at all.

Liu Mang's astonishing dunk drove the atmosphere of the game. The Eagles were also very strong. Liu Mang's breakthrough, Jason Terry's strong shot, Raheem's low singles, the power of the Eagles' three killers remained the same Can play out.

The cavalry tactic is to maximize the shooting ability and bring out the advantages of the Eagles who do not have many big centers but have many short insiders with outstanding physical fitness. This is the characteristic of running and bombing and small ball tactics in the future. The power of role players depends on the strength of superstars, which is why more and more traditional positional battles will be abandoned by teams in the future.

Coach Kruger's change of formation hit the Heat's weakness of not being a tough player. After Liu Mang pressed the referee's whistle, the initiative of the game was completely controlled by the Eagles.

With the sense of crisis that Rod Strickland seized the opportunity to hit a goal for the first time, the Eagles also tightened up their defense, and did not give Rod Strickland an easy breakthrough, so The Heat's offense can only be solved by Jim Jackson and cuts, Brian Grant's pick-and-roll, Eddie Jones' mid-range shots, and Mourning's low-post singles, and the Eagles have ways to resolve them.

Raheem's single defense is getting better and better, and his auxiliary defense is also top-notch. His physical fitness is there, and he has learned a lot from Garnett.

Liu Mang was very tight on Eddie Jones' shots, and Ratliff was strong against the basket. Except for O'Neal and Duncan, other centers in the league wanted to take the shot-blocking leader at his peak one-on-one.

At the end of the three quarters, the Eagles turned the score into 69 to 55, leading by 14 points.

Pat Riley curled his lips, unable to do it, and then happily replaced all the main players, announcing his abandonment of the game.

In the fourth quarter, Coach Kruger sent Liu Mang up to run for a few minutes with Emmanuel, Chris Crawford, Alan Henderson, and Mark Strickland to close the gap. After driving to 20 points and scoring the game into garbage time to seal the victory, the main players were also replaced.

In the end, the Eagles beat the Heat 94 to 83 and won three consecutive victories!

Liu Mang scored a game-high 25 points plus 5 assists.

...

...

With 48 wins and 18 losses, the Eagles flew to Miami that night after the Heat. The next morning, they slept for a long time. The whole team got up in the afternoon and ran tactics. They were very tired and did not do any major training.

The Heat are also very tired, and the Heat have many more veterans than the Eagles.

By the time of the second game within 24 hours in the evening, the Heat were wilted, and they didn't have the momentum of fighting the Eagles for halftime yesterday.

Yesterday was still a defensive battle, but today it has become a confrontational battle, and there is no defense.

It is mainly led by the Heat. The Eagles are still very cautious. After all, they are one of the few weak teams in the remaining 16 games. There must be no more accidents with the fish belly.

But Pat Riley seems to have figured it out a little bit. Maybe he felt that the pressure on the players was too much. Let go of the fight.

Just as Pat Riley expected, they started to attack, and the Eagles didn't have to defend desperately. The two teams were in harmony with each other.

The Eagles' offensive firepower is at the forefront of the league, averaging 107 points per game, third in the league, second only to the Kings and Mavericks, and the Heat's offense ranks last in the league.

Sometimes some teams really give them a chance to score, but they can't score...

Amid the boos of the sparse fans at the American Airlines Center, the Hawks beat the Heat 115-97 back-to-back, winning four straight and improving their winning streak to 49.

...

...

March 19th.

The last month of the season has entered a 30-day countdown.

The Hawks will play the Charlotte Hornets in their last game of the season on April 17, the last 30 days.

There are 15 games left, the schedule is very easy, but the opponents are a bit irritable.

Two games against the Mavericks, one game against the Timberwolves, and a home game against the Kings. In addition to the four games of these three horrific opponents, there are five opponents: the Pacers, Trail Blazers, Nets, Bucks, and Hornets.

The Hornets are okay, although they are ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, but the core is reimbursed, but half of the opponents are tough, especially in the next four games against the Mavericks away, home against the Kings, Timberwolves, and Trail Blazers. It might be a four-game losing streak.

So despite having 49 wins, it is still very difficult for the Eagles to get 57 wins to tie the team's historical record or even higher.

At the end of the season, those teams that are on the verge of the playoffs and are already in the top eight but unstable are unlikely to relax.

Among the top teams, we are talking about the top teams in the West. The Eagles in the East have already led the Nets by 7 games. The Nets have just ended their 5-game losing streak and only won 42 wins. If they can get 50 wins, they will be the best. Of course, even without the rise of the Hawks, in Liu Mang's impression, the only time in the history of the Nets in the Eastern Conference was only 50 wins.

The record competition among the top teams in the West is also very brutal. The Spurs do not know when, they have already ranked first in the West and overthrew the Kings.

The Spurs are an amazing team. It is rare to hear how good their regular season is. If you look carefully, they are the first decade of the 21st century. They won the most regular season titles in the Western Conference. From 2000 to 2009, ten Four times in the Western Conference during the regular season, the Spurs were still No. 1 before Liu Mang crossed over... Even among all the teams in the entire league, the Spurs still had the most first division regular season games...

The Lakers are stuck in the fourth place in the Western Conference. The plot is still familiar. It is very likely that the Lakers and the Kings will still meet in the Western Conference Finals.

The Mavericks were overtaken by the Supersonics unknowingly, and fell to sixth in the West. Garnett had to kneel in the first round again, because the Timberwolves would be hammered to death by the Mavericks in all likelihood, and they were in the third round. Purely because they are number one in the Northwest Division...

I am still familiar with the West, so several teams in the West want to strive for more wins. Of course, some want to lose a little, such as the Spurs, and they don't want to meet the Lakers so early.

For this chaotic situation, it is largely due to the division system, otherwise the Lakers must have the third record in the Western Conference.

Many fans, expert media, and many teams have complained about this. The league also stated that starting next season, the playoff system will be greatly adjusted.

So, after hearing the news, Liu Mang thought about it, McGrady will probably be unlucky in the playoffs next season.

...

On the plane from Miami to Dallas, Liu Mang has been watching the game video of this strong team that has faced each other for the first time in his career, and it will also be the top team in the league for the next ten years.

Seeing the Mavericks game, Liu Mang had only one thought - the singles team...

Originally, there were three singles masters Michael Finley, Nowitzki, and Steve Nash, and before the All-Star Weekend, they were traded to Kobe's former starter Nick Van Exel and the Heat's Tim Hardaway .

The original Dallas singles team has taken shape.

This was the routine operation of the Mavericks before getting coach Carlisle, and Liu Mang said it was normal.

The guy he feels the most about the Mavericks lineup is the guy with the same skin tone, the same eyes...
