Chapter 339 337. Is Ace a Malone Fan?

There is a gap between Liu Mang's fouls and the future king of JDZ. Ci Deng's body is too strong. Liu Mang can't rush in and make fouls like him.

So brainstorming is needed!

Just now the head coach called him out of the locker room out of nowhere, asked him a question, and then let him go with a strange expression. Liu Mang felt a little baffled.

Regardless of him, Liu Mang found Jason Terry and Raheem, the two players with the third and first free throws in the team, and asked them about their foul-making skills.

In the Eagles, Raheem has the most free throws in the regular season, averaging 7.6 per game, Liu Mang is second with 7.3 per game, and Jason Terry is third with 4.6 per game. The sum of most teams except the Lakers.

It all depends on the birth of a certain rookie...

"Foul? Going inside, they can't stop them, they can only pull me down, when I don't feel good and I don't have a chance to dunk or layup, I just play like this..."

Hearing Rahim's words, Liu Mang resolutely ignored them.

What a strong body! The explosive power is amazing! The violence of the ball is amazing!

"Me? If the opponent's defender is not thrown away when I catch the ball and shoot, I will pretend to shoot and wait for the opponent to jump up and dodge before shooting. If there is no shot angle, I will imitate you and hit him..."

Did you make a foul or did you learn from my uncle?

Liu Mang felt that he didn't get anything useful from these two teammates, as expected... Lonely and invincible! Those who can draw fouls these days...no one can hit!

Although I didn’t get any good advice from two star teammates, the Eagles only scored in double figures with 4 points, and Raheem’s scoring averaged in double figures with Liu Mang, which was a bit lower than before the All-Star Weekend. He averaged 23.3 points per game, but he was happy and had no complaints. All stars started, and the best team was popular.

After Jason Terry and Liu Manglang got up, their scoring increased, averaging 22.6 points per game. In addition to Liu Mang averaging 19.6 points per game, there is Muhammad's daily 11+10.

That is, there are no other scorers to ask.

But, Liu Mang got a hint from Jason Terry.

If you make a foul with the ball, the opponent must be prepared, so let's play without the ball!

Catch the opponent by surprise!

...

...

Back in the second half of the game, the two teams continued to play the main force, and no one wanted to take the lead in the third quarter, the transitional period when it was easiest to lay the foundation for victory.

Generally, strong teams, if it is not the kind of Lakers that can fly with waves, will establish their advantages in the third quarter, and it is normal to widen the point difference in one fell swoop.

The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Rahim, Newbell, and Muhammad.

The main lineup sent by the Trail Blazers is a bit sloppy, Little Flying Squirrel, Ruben Patterson, Pippen, Bunche Wells, Rasheed Wallace!

Originally, the third quarter was supposed to be Pippen's rest time for the whole quarter, and then came up to play the critical moment in the fourth quarter, but Coach Cheeks didn't expect Pippen to ask for the third quarter! This is not in line with the impression that Pippen, who is now the number one health care concept, gave Coach Cheeks the impression that he has taken over the Trail Blazers for almost a season this season.

So far this year, Pippen's playing time has fallen to a career low, averaging 28 minutes per game.

Originally, Coach Cheeks wanted to send the main lineup in the third quarter to be the outside combination of Little Flying Squirrel, Kobe Terminator, and Bangzi, but when Pippen wanted to play, Coach Cheeks thought of the Eagles' cavalry company lineup, so suddenly It's a whimsy to put Bunche Wells, who plays like a power forward, at the power forward, and let Rasheed Wallace play the center!

Coach Cheeks is only in his 40s. He used to be an NBA player, a famous 76ers player, a champion in 1983, a first-time All-Star starter, three-time All-Star substitute, and a 5-time All-Defensive Team. Hall of Famer.

Coach Cheeks got his only championship ring from Magic Johnson.

Humans are strange creatures. What we don’t have is always the best and what we want the most.

At that time, Cheeks, who was also a point guard and played against the Magician, was very envious of the Magician's gorgeous offensive style of play, not because he was 1.85 meters tall and had to defend the opponent's strongest perimeter. Became the best defensive player at the point guard position...

So after retiring, Coach Cheeks rejected a lot of offers from Eastern teams, came to the Western offensive team to find a job, and was about to enter the playoffs happily.

Seeing the Eagles' first-generation five-minor lineup, Coach Cheeks had a whim and did what he said.

After the start of the second half, the Blazers attacked.

Looking at the Blazers' lineup, the Eagles were a little dumbfounded, the opponent's lineup was much smaller than their own! Three less than two meters!

Who is the power forward?

Pippen?

When Bunch Wells sat in the low post and leaned against Newbell to ask for the ball, Newbell felt humiliated and pushed up hard...it didn't move!

After receiving the pass from Little Momonga, Bunch Wells carried Newbell on his shoulders and slammed into him with a sudden step. Newbell didn't block it! Bunch Wells turned around and cut to the basket before Muhammad came over to defend and smashed the ball into the basket!

Poor cool guy, humiliated!

Maybe the defensive end is really not focused, and he is also arguing with the management over the tens of millions of contracts. The season is almost over and the contract has not been renewed in advance, but Bunch-Wells is too strong on the offensive end!

Like a poor man's Charles Barkley! With a height of 1.96 meters, playing the power forward position will not suffer!

"Yes!"

Coach Cheeks on the sidelines shook his fist vigorously. He was one of the representatives of passionate players when he was a player. He never suppressed his positive emotions.

It worked!

With a small lineup, one of the two insiders on my side will always have a perfect chance!

The Hawks' Muhammad's rough defense is always good. Rasheed Wallace and Bunche Wells can't beat him, but if Ratliff is not there, another power forward who comes up It must be unstoppable to practice inside, this is the idea of ​​Coach Cheeks.

Not only did they play aggressively on the offensive end, but the Blazers lineup also quickly returned to defense. Liu Mang just received the ball from Muhammad, and the opponent has already passed halftime.

After waiting for Jason Terry to come over, Liu Mang handed the ball to Jason Terry and played without the ball by himself.

Although the Blazers attack aggressively and return to defense quickly, defense at the basket is a problem.

Liu Mang pulled to the bottom corner on the left. After Newbell came over from the left basket, he crazily got stuck with Bunche Wells. He was more than ten centimeters taller. After Newbell grabbed the position on the edge of the three-second zone, Jia Sen-Terry immediately passed the ball, and Newbell turned around and scored easily.

You have explosive power, buddy has height!

The next round was similar to the last round, with Bunche Wells winning in the low post again.

When it came time for the Eagles to attack again, Liu Mang still gave the ball to Jason Terry, and Newbell asked for the ball in the low post again.

The fans did not expect that the critical third quarter of this game would turn into a confrontation between two supporting power forwards!

Liu Mang continued to squat in the low post on the left side. At this time, Ruben Patterson, who was defending Liu Mang, had already rushed in to double-team him. Cool Brother is indeed Cool Brother. Cool means calm. But after he paid back one, he stopped being greedy for scoring. He was double-teamed and immediately distributed the ball to Liu Wei, who was open in the bottom corner.

At this time, Coach Cheeks’ whimsical playstyle loophole came. The Cavalry Company of the Eagles can play a defensive counterattack. First of all, they must defend. Bunch Wells is because he is really good, and Duncan couldn't guard him at his peak.

But how many teams have a power forward with his low-post ability? The top power forwards in the league all take a lot of shots, and both Newbell and Muhammad can quickly serve and counterattack if they make a shot or not.

And another insider of the Blazers, Rasheed Wallace, just leaned against Muhammad on the other side of the basket like that, and didn't help to defend or anything, just staring like that.

Without the urging of the big brother Sabonis, Rasheed Wallace is really difficult to be active in defense. The beginning of the season was fine, but as the season progressed, he just stood there. Rasheed Wallace has fewer technical fouls this year. A lot, because there is less dissatisfaction with being called a foul when actively defending.

Rasheed Wallace has "only" 21 technical fouls so far this season, compared to 32 last season, last season's 40 NBA historical records, and last season's 37 times the second highest in NBA history a lot.

But don't worry, he will be promoted again immediately after meeting a team that emphasizes defense...

...

Because the Blazers are also a small lineup, the rhythm of the Eagles has changed, and it has become a down position.

Playing in the low post has no big center for the opponent, which gave the Eagles a head start. Raheem and Newbell, two players with backs, took turns to wreak havoc in the low post. The Blazers' defense was forced to shrink, and Liu Mang got He took several three-point opportunities and his shooting percentage was very high. After a few minutes in the third quarter, he made 3 of 5 three-pointers.

This made it extremely difficult for the Blazers to chase points. Not only did the point difference not shrink, but it reached 14 points, and it was about to break through 15 points!

When the Eagles attacked again, Liu Mang still handed the ball to Jason Terry and went to the bottom corner to wait.

This time it was Raheem's turn in the singles, the Blazers switched defenses, and Bunch Wells, who had a bigger tonnage, came to defend. The big stick Bunch Wells weighed more than Pippen who was seven or eight centimeters taller. It's not just good luck to ravage the low post in the playoffs. He is too lazy to defend the perimeter, but he is very focused on defending the low post.

But Raheem weighed ten kilograms more than Bunch Wells!

As soon as Raheem got the ball, the Blazers' defense shrank in.

Rahim immediately assigned to Liu Mang in the bottom corner, and Liu Mang picked up the ball and wanted to shoot!

Pippen was very upset to see Liu Mang shooting three-pointers all the time, so he rushed towards Liu Mang. Liu Mang shot a false shot, and Pippen flew up!

not good!

Pippen saw that Liu Mang was just pretending, and thought he was going to miss another three-pointer. At this time, Liu Mang took a step sideways to shoot and he couldn't interfere with it at all.

This time Pippen jumped much higher than usual. He was very happy at first, but now he regretted it because he reacted too fast and jumped too high and too anxious!

But is Liu Mang the kind of person who will shake others away and then move laterally to shoot?

Of course not!

Liu Mang has always been the kind of tough guy who dares to face the dripping blood!

Liu Mang did get up again after shaking his shot, but instead of heading towards a place where no one was around, he hit Pippen in the air!

Before hitting Pippen, Liu Mang yelled "Ah..." and Pippen couldn't dodge in the air. Throw it away, just throw it away.

The referee whistles!

Three-point foul!

The bald Crawford is so helpless, he despises and despises Liu Mang, but the referees must strictly follow the rules. They watch the game differently from the fans. They only look at the action and nothing else. A foul is a foul.

Watching Liu Mang go to the free throw line, Pippen hugged his head and walked to the sidelines. At this time, Coach Cheeks was about to replace Pippen, when suddenly Pippen heard something: "Rashid, Mr. Pension of your team It's time to end, how many free throws did he give me? 8, I really need to thank him, right?"

Rasheed Wallace was "concentrated" waiting for rebounds. Although he has not rebounded much, the main reason is that after he came to the Trail Blazers, he had a hardworking and huge Saboniska. I need to pick up rebounds with my teammates after Sabonis, who is 2.21 meters tall and weighs more than 130 kilograms, gets stuck in the position. Now I have to grab the rebounds myself, which is a bit unaccustomed.

At this moment Liu Mang spoke to him suddenly, Rasheed Wallace thought it was true, and couldn't help laughing.

As for what kind of joke Rasheed Wallace was poked at, Liu Mang didn't know. He didn't expect Rasheed Wallace to give any friendly response during the game. Unreasonable", Liu Mang just wanted to stimulate Pippen who was going off the court, and wanted to force him to play quickly.

Unexpectedly, Rasheed Wallace laughed.

Moreover, with a smile, he glanced inexplicably at Crawford who decisively whistled Pippen for fouling four times...

Rasheed Wallace's smile is wretched with viciousness, vicious with a little heroism, and heroic with a sense of obscenity and mockery in the end...

This kind of smile is similar to the idiot No. 21 who didn't want to be named after retiring and found out that he was cheated out of 25 million dollars by his agent...

So, Liu Mang's long-awaited bald Crawford's technical foul on an evil No. 21 did not appear, but appeared at this time.

"beep"

The referee bald Crawford whistled and made a T gesture to Rasheed Wallace, a technical foul!

Rasheed Wallace's smile froze on his face...

"Ah...ha...ha...ah?" Rasheed Wallace couldn't believe it!

Staring at the referee, he was about to go up to reason, but the bald Crawford was afraid that he couldn't help but give another T. He had already gone to the technical table to confirm the foul. Just as Rasheed Wallace was about to yell loudly, Bunch -Wells covers his mouth.

The Trail Blazers players are really tired enough to prevent Rasheed Wallace from getting sent off too many technical fouls.

The fans at the scene were originally cheering for Liu Mang. In addition to Pippen's 9 free throws and the other 5 free throws, Liu Mang has created 14 free throw opportunities in this game.

Although shameless, the fans have thickened their skin and cheered when they should.

Even laughing can be called a technical foul? This is the same feeling Liu Mang gave fans when he heard that Duncan was called a technical foul for laughing.

At this time, Rasheed Wallace and the bald referee came out. Although the fans were surprised, they really wanted to laugh! What should I do, although I really want to hold back and feel that this is very impolite, but I just can't help it!

...

The cheers of the audience turned into a noisy vegetable market, everyone was discussing and laughing about the technical foul, and Pippen on the sidelines was angry again!

With his sanity declining, he strongly demanded that he not be replaced, he wanted to go up and continue fighting!

Opponents ridiculed, teammates laughed at and got called a technical foul, how could Pippen stand it!

Liu Mang changed from three free throws to four free throws. Today, his free throw feel is really good. He made all four free throws. In addition to the previous 11 free throws, Liu Mang has made all 15 free throws today!

Only halfway through the third quarter, Liu Mang already scored 13 points in a single quarter!

And the scoring continues!

When the rookie feels good, Raheem and Jason Terry are willing to give him the ball. The Eagles trio have never been jealous of each other because of the number of shots and high scores. Together, we are willing to occasionally lose or occasionally increase the ball because of each other, and give it to whoever feels good. Winning is the last word.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Blazers took the lead in replacing center Dale Davis. Coach Cheeks' whim failed.

The Eagles also replaced Ratliff to replace Newbell, and the two teams continued to grind their positions.

Liu Mang made another successful foul, which brought a lot of vigilance to Pippen. This kind of vigilance made Pippen start to hesitate in his excellent defense today. With Dale Davis on the court, the Blazers could not Fear that Raheem will go to low post singles, and the inside line is crowded. Raheem has a low success rate, so the Blazers don't need to shrink their defense.

This made Liu Mang, without the ball, even though he shot a three-pointer and was closely guarded by Ruben Patterson, but Liu Mang hesitated after the pick-and-roll cut to the basket to help Pippen, for fear of being fouled. 3 empty cuts, catching the ball and making layups, 19 points in a single quarter!

It was the Eagles attack again, with more than two minutes left in the third quarter, the score was 96 to 78, and the Eagles led by 19 points! The Hawks played another super-high scoring game. This kind of scoring can only appear when playing against an offensive team in the West.

Seeing that after chasing a quarter of the game, the point difference was about to be stretched to 20 points. The key is that Pippen saw the statistics of the rookie on the big screen, and he had already scored 19 points in a single quarter. This made Pippen unacceptable. !

Successful tactics always have to continue to play. Raheem holds the ball in a high position on the left side of the free throw line, Liu Mang circles from the right bottom corner to the top arc, and then uses Ratliff's off-ball pick-and-roll to cut into the inside. , Raheem quickly gave the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang threw off Dale Davis who came out to change defense and rushed into the interior. At this time, only Rasheed Wallace was under the basket. Rasheed Wallace at this time But there is no desire to help defend, otherwise such a big man will bring some pressure to Liu Mang, so he wouldn't run back to the basket three times in a row before and go straight to the basket.

Rasheed Wallace's help defense now...something like a 23 at 33 years old? Just akimbo.

Pippen couldn't accept that Liu Mang scored again, and rushed over to block Liu Mang who had already taken off!

This time the cover came a bit insidiously, it came from behind Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang said that you are a little bitch, the young master has been paying attention to you for a long time! You finally came! Waited to hit the rim three times, the fourth is still waiting for you!

Liu Mang had already noticed it when he jumped up for a layup. When Pippen pounced to block the shot, he leaned slightly behind him, following the strength of Pippen's pounce...

Another familiar call, another familiar whistle, Pippen exploded on the spot!

After Liu Mang made another two free throws and opened the point difference to 20 points, Pippen really exploded.

Pippen is already playing well. Except for too many fouls, he performed extremely well in the second and third quarters on the offensive end. If it weren't for his 13 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, the point difference would have been crazily attacked by the Eagles. I don't know how big it is. In the third quarter, due to the imperfect whim of Coach Cheeks, Liu Mang made 3 of 5 three-pointers in the opening game. Just a little over two minutes.

Pippen, who had 27 points and 13 assists before the end of the three quarters, didn't know how he could do better. He wanted to single out Liu Mang, and pay Liu Mang a foul!

I can't hold my breath anymore!

Pippen wanted to serve directly and advanced by himself.

Seeing Liu Mang defending beyond the three-point line, Pippen sneered.

Liu Mang is also ready to defend. Today Pippen showed too much strength because of the manic potion. If it weren't for the Blazers' overall defense because of the loss of Sabonis, it would have been unable to compare with last season, let alone last season. This peak tail strength led the Blazers to victory.

Pippen faced Liu Mang from the left!

Although Pippen is not left-handed, he has practiced left-handed breakthroughs because his substitute was left-handed and inspired him, and left-handed breakthroughs were difficult to prevent.

Liu Mang defended against Pippen several times in this game and has been unable to defend well, because it is too awkward! I have never encountered such a breakthrough trajectory.

Liu Mang tried his best to stick up to Pippen, but the awkward feeling made him rush a little too far, and rushed too far!

Liu Mang yelled inwardly that it was bad! At this time, Pippen can break through the middle without interference by turning around and changing directions!

Why do defenders always block the middle and let the opponent's breakthrough hand enter from the bottom line?

It is because the breakthrough in the middle will directly face the reasonable collision zone, and it is difficult for the assisting defenders at the basket to give real interference in the assisting defense. Most of the dunks are opponents who did not block the frontal breakthrough.

The bottom line breakthrough is relatively farther away, and it is easier to give the inside time to prepare for defense.

Of course Pippen made an instant decision to change direction!

at this time!

Pippen suddenly felt his legs go soft!

"Ding... the effect of the manic potion is over, and Scottie Pippen's physical strength is approaching the critical point."

Pippen wanted to change direction, but his body couldn't handle it anymore!

If it was the peak period, for example, Pippen was 27 or 8 years old, and there was nothing wrong with using the manic potion for a whole runaway state, but Pippen, who was already 36...had been in the manic state for an hour, and his physical exhaustion was exhausted!

Pippen changed his body and couldn't keep up with the shot. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. The ball was out of his hand!

Liu Mang turned around and picked up the ball, and counterattacked!

At this time, Pippen gave Liu Mang a hand!

"beep"

The referee whistled and Pippen made a foul!

Not only that, but there is still a doubt about the ball, that is, whether there are other defenders in front of the two people who are on the extension line of the free throw line, especially Liu Mang who picked up the ball and took a step forward. If there is, it is a common foul. The opponent's foul count is up and two free throws are made.

If there is no one, this is a physical foul!

But no matter what, Pippen committed six crimes!

Liu Mang was still worried at first, the point difference is already 20 points, whether Pippen will defend him next, and whether Pippen, who made 5 fouls, will continue to stay on the court, because if Pippen is replaced, the Blazers will definitely Everyone else will be replaced, which means that the Blazers are ready to give up this game.

Unexpectedly, Pippen's sixth foul came like this!

This is really lucky luck!

The referee was watching the replay to determine whether it was a physical violation or an ordinary foul, and he hadn't made a gesture that Pippen would be sent off. He was professional and rigorous, which is the practice of the NBA.

It's a pity that no physical foul was given. Jason Terry was too conscious of running backwards, so he took Fong Shu over first, and Fong Squirrel's head happened to be ahead of Liu Mang.

So it was just an ordinary foul, because the number of fouls reached, Liu Mang went to the free throw line again!

16 free throws! Breaking Liu Mang's previous record of 15 free throws in a single game!

Happy!

Liu Reck looked at Pippen who was sent off by the referee and was sent off to sit on the bench. Although a little embarrassed, Liu Reck said loudly: "Hey, Scottie, the postman is at work today!"

People who heard this voice were very surprised, these words...

Depend on!

Ace is actually a Malone fan!

No wonder today seems to have been "targeting" Pippen fouls!

The fans recalled that Pippen's six fouls were all played by Liu Mang alone!

This is really abnormal!

Pippen was also surprised, this guy is actually a Malone fan? It's even more annoying!

Malone is also one of the players Pippen hates!

The fans at the scene passed the news ten to ten, anyway, it is "real" that Liu Mang is a Ma Long fan! Otherwise, how could such a thing be done!

But... It seems that in the previous news interview, Ma Long hated this rookie very much!

One chapter is worth three chapters of others, only hard work, I feel good today, but I still go to bed early, I beg for a recommendation ticket for tomorrow, Xiaofeng hereby thanks~
