Chapter 374 372. What's going on? (Add more 410.)
"Ace, you are not loyal enough!"
Just as Liu Mang was thinking about how to provoke the Nets to make them even more unhappy, a voice of resentment sounded beside Liu Mang.
Liu Mang turned his head and saw that it was Jason Terry!
"Huh? What's the matter?" Liu Mang asked strangely, he probably didn't do anything exciting-Terry today.
At this moment, cheers came from the scene.
Raheem is dusting the chalk again, and the poor unnamed man who can't find his hairline who likes to wear size 23 is completely robbed of his opening moves.
Liu Mang looked at Terry again, and in line with the cheers at the scene, Terry's eyes became more resentful.
"Jason, you mean this?" Liu Mang asked with an urg.
Terry nodded.
Liu Mang thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Jason, do you also want an opening move?"
Terry nodded decisively.
Liu Mang said to go his own way so that others have no way to go! Then he began to gesture to Terry: "Jason, you are like this, like this..."
Terry's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Ace, you really are a good buddy!"
"Of course, this is what I want to use in the future, but Jason will give it to you if you want it!" Liu Mang said without blushing or panting.
Terry said that good buddies will last forever! Then ran to the referee to borrow a ball.
The pregame shootaround had ended before, and only the referee had the ball.
After getting the ball, Terry ran to the basket in the Nets' half court, holding the ball, squeezing and rubbing constantly.
Coach Byron Scott likes to talk about tactics. Although there is a better coach named Kidd on the field, they are making the final arrangements before the game on the bench. Suddenly they saw Terry holding a ball and squeezing hard. , Rubbing the ball with his arm and walking to the basket on their side.
The Nets players were puzzled, what is this little guy going to do?
Terry walked to the free throw line, trotted two steps faster, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
The Nets players are even more confused, what is this for?
The fans were also confused. To be honest, this dunk was not aggressive at all, nor was it good-looking. It was an ordinary two-handed dunk. In the United States, a country with black people and much taller people, many amateur players dunked better than Terry.
However, Terry hung on the basket and did not fall, allowing everyone's attention to continue to focus on him.
At this time, Terry suddenly pulled up, his head went into the basket and emerged from the basket!
"Uh... oh..."
Everyone at the scene was stunned for a while, and then the fans at the scene started to cheer!
It turned out to be the opening action!
What happened in the playoffs, the players on my side started to make opening moves? But very creative! Fans recall Terry holding the ball, squeezing, walking, dunking, and pulling up. The whole process looks very interesting!
The expressions of the Nets players are not very good.
Coming to their side to dunk and pull up, this is provocative!
wrong!
This is not Terry's style!
This guy's brain is not that good!
Just now the players of the Nets have been paying attention to Liu Mang, and coach Byron Scott is also sadly reminding him that he basically can't play the offensive tactics he talked about, so the players don't listen much, they might as well listen to Kidd. However, coach Byron Scott's defense is really good. As long as his team is decent, he can play first-class defense. There are Paul and Kidd, and the league's top defense is good.
Just now, the players of the Nets paid attention to Liu Mang and saw Liu Mang gesturing to Terry and saying something.
It must be this rookie! The damned rookie first asked Raheem to sprinkle chalk to stimulate them, and then called Terry to provoke them!
Liu Mang was still apologizing to the future Anthony and Wade in his heart. Although they couldn't hear it, they suddenly felt a stronger murderous aura. When they turned their heads, a dozen or so people from the Nets were looking at him viciously.
"Ding... The long-term mission of the system is released: Jason Kidd's hatred."
"Jason Kidd's hatred: Because the host not only failed to return Jason Kidd's help during the All-Star Weekend, but instead made trouble for Jason Kidd in the regular season and playoffs, Jason Kidd's respect for The host has a strong hatred, the host needs to lead the team to defeat the team led by Jason Kidd in the playoffs, the mission reward: 1,000,000 superstar points."
"What the hell? 1 million superstar value?" Liu Mang looked at Kidd in horror, such a big hatred?
...
...
Soon, amidst Liu Mang's shock and confusion, the match began.
The starting lineup sent by the Nets is Jason Kidd, Kittles, Van Horn, Kenyon Martin, McCloch.
The Eagles' starters are still Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Raheem, Mohamed, and Ratliff.
After the start of the game, Kenyon Martin of the Nets won the jump ball first.
It's really not good to be in the position. Kidd missed a mid-range shot in the pick-and-roll.
Raheem took the defensive rebound and handed it to Terry. The Eagles pressed the rhythm. After coming over, Terry met Kidd and encountered the strongest defense he has encountered so far in the playoffs this season.
Liu Mang on the sidelines looked at Kidd who didn't give Terry too much confrontation, and confronted him when he needed to. However, there were not many redundant actions that would make the referee call a foul, but it made Terry unable to find a chance to make a call and was extremely aggressive. Uncomfortable defense, not wanting to look away for a second.
It's true - the master of defense!
Although he doesn't have a strong defensive impact and visual effects like Payton, and he can't win the favor of the media and win the best defensive player or something, but the defensive effect will not be worse than Payton!
Sniper Level 5, Defensive Master Level 5, Pressing Master Level 5... Liu Mang looked at Kidd's piles of defensive abilities, this defense is really a blockbuster!
Kidd is not as fast as Terry and can jump without Terry, but his defensive anticipation and early positioning, no matter whether Terry is picking and rolling or trying to stop for a jumper, Terry can only give the ball to Raheem.
It was easy for Raheem to play singles. He easily squeezed Van Horn to the basket, tapped Kenyon Martin and flew away. point.
Although McClochy played well beside Kidd, he averaged 9 points and 6 rebounds per game, but his career was only four years. After leaving Kidd, he signed a four-year 27 million contract and was waived after playing for one year. Then there was no ball to play, and the weight of 127 kilograms almost caught up with O'Neill, and he was three centimeters shorter than O'Neill, and he couldn't jump at all.
After the goal, Raheem first interfered with the Nets' serve, blocking Kidd's strategy of immediately playing a fast break, forcing the Nets to fall into a positional battle.
McCloch didn't expect the Eagles' defense to be so aggressive at the beginning, and the ball almost didn't come out! Kidd continued to run back before he got the gap to catch the ball.
Raheem immediately turned around and ran back. Kidd saw that the opponent's defense had fallen, and had no choice but to slowly advance to the position.
After Kidd pushed forward, he saw Dean Grove defending him. Not to mention, besides the mid-range shot around the pick-and-roll, it was really difficult for him to single-handedly hit Dean Grove, so he handed the ball to Van Hool Well, Van Horn squeezed against Raheem's back, but he couldn't squeeze. He wanted to turn around and shoot, but Raheem slapped him in the face.
Van Horn's speed is too slow, and his strength is not enough. His height of 2.08 meters is not strong enough to play a power forward, and he is not fast enough to play a small forward. He is good at catching and shooting, so he really can't do anything in singles.
Ratliff shouldered McCloch out of the way, and Muhammad beat Kenyon Martin for the rebound.
The rebounding of the Nets is really poor. If Kidd wants to defend Terry, he can’t go back to the basket to grab rebounds immediately. Kidd is the Nets’ leader in scoring, assists, rebounds, and steals King...except Martin's 1.7 blocked shots, the other Kidd leads the team in terms of statistics. He even averaged less than two fouls per game and only three turnovers.
The Eagles continued to press down and fight. After coming over, Raheem continued to play singles. This time Raheem attracted all the defensive attention, and Kidd ran back to help defend. Raheem gave Terry in time, and Terry The three-point line is also hit!
After Terry scored the goal, Kenyon Martin and Kittles of the Nets made another fast play. This time, Kidd picked up the ball and exited the baseline serve. A quarterback-like long pass to Kenyon in the frontcourt - Martin.
When Kidd made a shot, Muhammad and Rahim had already returned to defense, blocking Kenyon Martin, and Kenyon Martin immediately distributed it to Kittles who followed up to a 45-degree angle. Kittles Stanley's 3-point shot...
Still miss!
The Nets started off really badly!
Kenyon Martin averaged 5 rebounds per game. Rahim and Muhammad were bullied like a little daughter-in-law in front of two guys who averaged 10+ rebounds per game. Raheem easily squeezed Kenyon Martin to accept rebound.
Kenyon Martin has explosive power and good jumping, and his speed is faster than that of a defender, but the pure strength of this kind of position can't even beat Raheem.
After Rahim pushed forward, he rushed directly to the inside line and made a counter-basket!
The Eagles started off so well today!
After the Eagles scored, Kidd served again with his super long pass. Kittles and Kenyon Martin continued to make two counterattack arrows. Muhammad and Terry returned to defense. Kittles After receiving the ball in the front court, he did not continue to shoot from the outside, but rushed to the basket. Kenyon Martin immediately ran back and opened it. Terry threw himself out to defend Kittles. Kittles stopped suddenly. Then he got up immediately, and took three explosive steps to throw away Terry, who was nearly ten centimeters shorter than him. Muhammad came to help defend, and Kittles immediately threw the ball to the right side of the basket. Jan Martin ran back and then ran in and scored two points for dunks.
The Nets finally scored!
But it didn't make the Nets happy for too long. Raheem came over and scored two points with another close-range jumper from the bottom line.
More than three minutes into the game, the Eagles played a wave of 9-2 and stopped the Nets.
Coach Scott called the timeout not because of the offense. Their offense can only be considered in the middle of the league. They averaged 96 points per game in the regular season, which is not bad, but certainly not very good.
Mainly on defense, Coach Scott quickly made adjustments, replacing the underwhelming McCloch with short center Aaron Williams, and then began to draw on the tactical board.
For the Eagles, coach Kruger began to practice Chicken Soup for the Soul.
"Sharif did a good job, he was determined enough to attack the inside, Theo did a good job, he was in a good position, Nazr did a good job, defending..."
Anyway, it's just a lot of praise to make the players more motivated.
...
Back from the timeout, the Nets frontcourt the ball.
When the lineup is full of light players, Kidd plays more freely, McCloch is too slow, and Aaron Williams is different, only 2 meters 06.
Kidd passes the ball to Kittles, Kittles uses his excellent first three steps to get rid of Terry, the Eagles switch immediately, Terry goes to follow Van Horn, Raheem switches to Kittles .
Kittles' sprinting speed was too old. When Raheem defended, his first three steps of the explosion were over. It was a bit difficult to fight against Raheem on the edge of the three-second zone. He immediately gave the ball to Van Horn.
Van Horn was a full 20 centimeters taller than Terry, retreating beyond the three-point line and ignoring Terry's defensive three-point shot!
Van Horn is a three-pointer. Since his rookie season, except for the lockout season, the number of three-pointers in other seasons has exceeded 100. This year, he has made more than 170 three-pointers. As the No. 2 pick in 1997, since his rookie season The ability value of 84, which has remained basically unchanged until now, is only a little lower than that of Terry, who has improved a lot this year. He is a very powerful quasi-first-class player.
Van Horn, the second scorer of the Nets, is the most feared Nets fan besides Kidd by Eagles fans. Seeing Van Horn's head-on three-pointer without interference, the fans couldn't help but exclaim .
However, today the basket seems to be covered!
Van Horn's usually reliable shot, which is equivalent to an open shot, also missed!
But Kidd deserves to be Kidd, struggling to grab the offensive rebound! Then an inside pass to Kenyon Martin, Kenyon Martin slammed the ball into the basket.
Kenyon Martin felt to Liu Mang like Stoudemire, who had no mid-range, no post-up singles, no face-up singles, no rebounds, and no good shot blocks. The slam dunk in place looks really domineering and fierce!
It was the Hawks' offense again, and Raheem wanted to continue playing singles while he felt good. At this time, the Nets switched defenses, and Kidd was the one defending Raheem!
Kittles went to defend Terry, Van Horn, who was so poor and slow in defense, went to defend Dean Grove, who had no offensive ability, and Kenyon Martin was under the basket. Nice, and Aaron Williams, a short center who plays aggressive defense and is very mobile and good.
Raheem looked at Kidd defending himself, and immediately chose to hit back. Raheem pushed behind him twice, but found that he couldn't hold it! Kidd lowers the center of gravity like a weight! Don't look at only 1.93 meters, it really holds up!
Raheem turned over and made a jump shot. Kidd made timely body contact, which interfered with Raheem's take-off, and then perfectly stretched out his hand to interfere with Raheem's shooting.
Kidd has done a good job of defending this time, but Raheem is in such a good state today. Under the situation of being completely disturbed, he leaned back and made a shot!
11 to 4!
The Eagles started off so well today, very good, unexpectedly good!
By the seventh minute of the first quarter, the normal official timeout, the Hawks had already led the Nets by 11 points 19-8!
When it came time for the Eagles to rotate, Liu Mang stepped onto the field to shoot.
"I can't figure it out!"
Liu Mang really couldn't figure it out.
Of course, Liu Wei, who is leading the Nets, can figure it out. Today, I feel good on my side, and I did a good job defending. However, the Eagles kept shrinking and tried their best to reduce the tempo. It is normal to lead.
What he couldn't figure out was the task, was the system suddenly generous? Or is there something else?
Or! Kidd wants to play the black hand!
impossible! Liu Mang dismissed this idea without even thinking about it. Although Kidd can't say that his character is too good, he definitely can't do that kind of thing.
I can't figure it out!
If you can't figure it out!
After killing the Nets, earning 1 million, and activating his talent skills, Liu Mang's attention immediately returned to the game!
...
After the official timeout, Liu Mang replaced Dean Grove, Ratliff was replaced by Newbell, and the fastest lineup of the Eagles played.
The Nets didn't make many substitutions. They replaced Kenyon Martin with fellow brother Jason Collins, and the others remained unchanged. Kidd, Kittles, Van Horn, and Aaron Williams continued. Playing, Aaron Williams returned to the most familiar power forward position.
Eagles possession.
Liu Mang pushed forward with the ball, unexpectedly it was not Kidd who defended him, but Kittles.
Kittles saw Liu Mang, the enemy met...why the enemy? Because Liu Mang just broke the record of 158 three-pointers made by a rookie in his rookie season, and he has improved by nearly a hundred.
Kittles' defense was very tight, Liu Mang immediately chose to break through, pushed Kittles with his left elbow, and broke through from the right!
Kittles quickly followed up, Liu Mang stopped abruptly and took a step back!
Kittles was getting old, stopped suddenly and rushed back. At this time, Liu Mang's sniper had already shot.
Liu Mang's iconic false sudden stop and step back jumper, amidst the cheers of the fans, Liu Mang hit a three-pointer!
22 to 8, the Eagles lead by 14 points!
From the looks of the scene, the Nets have nothing to fight back!
And not only from the looks of the scene, in the next match, Liu Mang and Raheem's singles success rate is extremely high!
After the first quarter, the Eagles lead 31 to 14 by 17 points!
In the second quarter, when the two teams started to fight back, the Eagles did not take advantage of the Nets. After halftime, the score was 57 to 39, and the Eagles led by 18 points!
The Eagles had an absolute upper hand, and did not give the Nets a chance in the second half. In the second half, the basket's outside shots began to recover. Kittles scored two three-pointers in the third quarter.
But immediately, Jason Terry and Liu Mang scored 6 three-pointers in the third quarter, Jason Terry made 4 consecutive goals, and Liu Mang scored 2, which immediately opened the point difference to 25. Points, the game lost suspense.
In the end, the Eagles beat the Nets 113 to 95 and won their first victory in the Eastern Conference Finals!
Liu Mang, who scored 29 points today, is very happy, but there is a faint uneasiness in his heart!
It's a little late, it feels good to wake up early, thank you.
