Chapter 403 401. The Losing Streak Ends! (Additional 3/16)

Chapter 403 401. The losing streak ends! (Add more 316)

Liu Mang broke through twice in a row, dunking once and causing a foul once, scaring Reid's defense back.

Reid's offensive methods have also basically taken shape. Rao's pick-and-roll catch-and-shoot, and the weak side holding the ball and shooting three-pointers directly after the pick-and-roll. Goofy.

But at this stage, Liu Mang has a clear advantage in terms of offense alone!

Reed was forced to retreat to defend to avoid Liu Mang's pick-and-roll or breakthrough. Liu Mang also fired a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line!

Although in the past three months, Liu Mang played poorly due to the chaos of the team, but the training is still maintained. Although the 88 three-point limit has not been broken, but the more you practice, the feeling of shooting will always be better. good.

Liu Mang came up with a dunk first, then made a foul, then made two consecutive three-pointers, and scored 10 points in a row.

Although Reid also made a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, Liu Mang was more accurate and opened the point difference to 5 points!

Coach George Karl calls a timeout! Liu Mang scored 10 points in a row and made all 4 shots. Although Reed also had an efficient performance of 2 of 4 shots, Reed obviously couldn't guard Liu Mang by himself. The Eagles had Jason Terry on the court, so the space was wide open. Open, Liu Mang's personal attack hits one by one.

...

Liu Mang returned to the bench, and high-fived Emmanuel and Barnes who were active even when they were waving the towel on the bench.

Barnes and Emmanuel, the current role is probably to wave the towel, Barnes is still very talented, he can be selected by coach Kruger, except for Liu Mang's recommendation, mainly because of his enthusiasm for life , but there is still a gap between the strength and being able to enter the regular rotation, and it is obviously not comparable to Prince and Boozer who were selected at the same time.

Emmanuel doesn't have many opportunities to perform this season, Liu Mang needs more playing time, and Prince occasionally plays the shooting guard position.

But this is something that the two have already expected. Even if Barnes entered the NBA and made a lot of money, Emmanuel is also very self-aware, so he waved the towel very vigorously.

Liu Mang finally showed his progress. When he returned to the bench, the audience cheered!

"Ace did a good job, disrupting the opponent's defense, but you have to remember that you are now a core defender, and you have to do more than just score!" Coach Kruger is very satisfied with Liu Mang's comeback today, However, the requirements are also more stringent.

Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang's progress that can be seen with the naked eye, and his jumping has improved after he became stronger, and his internal confrontation has also strengthened, so he gave Liu Mang more requirements and expectations.

Liu Mang nodded, he also knew that he needed to help the team do more things, such as organizing offense!

This is something Liu Mang has to do more. If he wants to get more points, he has to have more options for his opponents to prevent.

Coach Kruger was very satisfied with Liu Mang's performance and began to make adjustments: "Ace, the opponent's defense will definitely change next, you have to pay attention to passing the ball, Carlos, your mid-range shot, Jason and Tyshawn , your three points must be ready at any time!"

Jason Terry was startled, a big brother and a little brother have already performed, and now it's finally his turn!

...

Back from the timeout, the Eagles did not make any substitutions.

On the Bucks side, Cassell was replaced by backup point guard Kevin Ollie, and Reed, Drummond Mason, Kukoc, and Tim Thomas were replaced. .

Kassel is still old and was replaced. At the age of 33, his physical fitness has declined significantly. The key is that he is still the core of the team. When the team has no other organizational points, he plays less time than last season. Not a lot.

The Bucks attack.

Kevin Ollie advances to the frontcourt with the ball. He is an undrafted pick of the 1997 generation. He has changed 7 teams in his career in more than 5 years. Such a fragmented career, but there are always teams wanting it, which shows that he He has advantages. His advantages are similar to those of Dean Grove. He is stable and not greedy for credit. After he came over, he handed the ball to Reid.

Reed now leads the team by himself, and feels a lot of pressure!

Liu Mang was still defending Reed, and kept putting pressure on Reed from outside the three-point line. Reed was made very uncomfortable by Liu Mang, and it was almost impossible to make a direct shot. So he took a step back and moved to the left, choosing to break through !

Liu Mang knows Reid too well! The characteristics of this member of the Dream Eight team are too obvious. He has a top-notch offense with the ball, mainly shooting, breaking through and going left all the way to the black, but his footsteps are really fast, and his breakthrough is hard and powerful!

Liu Mang only sticks to Reid, but Reid's breakthrough is indeed strong enough, and Liu Mang can only delay the opponent's breakthrough speed.

But that's enough!

When Reed was close to the bottom line, he leaned close to Liu Mang, and then used a back-turning technique to get to the edge of the three-second zone. This is Reed's best way of scoring after a breakthrough. The bottom-line back-turning throw !

Just when Reed broke through, he was keeping an eye on the inside man, Kukoc pulled to the right 45 degrees, Thomas also pulled out, and the two performed a high pick-and-roll near the three-point line of the inside player, forcing Murtaugh La and Boozer had to be released. This is the Bucks' tactic when they play singles with the ball for Reid!

However, just when Reed thought he could throw away Liu Mang easily, a slender figure flew over!

When Reid's throw shot was about to reach the highest altitude, a slender arm was directly nailed to the backboard!

Tayshaun Prince!

Perfect defense, perfect prediction! Tyshawn Prince's brain judged the opponent's offense too clearly!

Drummond Mason has a low three-point shooting rate and low threat. Reed is tall. During the video research before the game, Prince noticed this opponent who may encounter during the rotation, and studied Reed's Breaking through the characteristics, knowing that Reed's move is very powerful, so he decisively chose to supplement Reed!

This awareness of defense is also a talent!

While Prince nailed Reed's shot to the backboard, Liu Mang, who had just been wiped by Reed, immediately chose to make a quick shot!

Prince directly took the ball off the backboard and threw it to Liu Mang. After receiving the pass from Prince, Liu Mang dribbled the ball laterally to avoid Drummond Mason who was rushing to steal it. Get off!

Solo riding level 5 triggers!

Liu Mang's speed increased to 99!

Although it was only a short two seconds, Liu Mang had already crossed the center line in these two seconds!

Seeing that the Bucks players couldn't keep up, they had no choice but to watch Liu Mang rush towards his basket.

Liu Mang charged inside the three-point line, glanced back and saw that the opponent didn't keep up, so it was time for the dunk performance again!

"Ding...Fancy dunk level 5 is triggered, the Vince Carter dunk bag is activated, the strength of the host's back is enhanced, and the movement..."

After stepping into the free throw line, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and jumped, turned his back 180 degrees in the air, took the ball with both hands and swung an arc while turning around. After bending his legs, his body straightened up suddenly, and he smashed the ball with a back dunk. into the basket!

Ever since Liu Mang moved past Drummond Mason, the fans on the scene had already started cheering. Seeing Liu Mang's slam dunk at the top five level, the fans on the scene were already crazy!

Who said that the little hooligan in our family has no physical fitness or talent, it's just that he hasn't grown up yet!

Now the little hooligan who has grown up and grown up, this talent, this bounce!

"Dunk-king"

"Dunk-king"

"Dunk-king"

"..."

The fans at the scene began to chant the slam dunk king!

After Liu Mang landed, he saw his teammates were so surprised that they stood up, it felt great!

I've wanted to deduct it a long time ago, but I didn't have a chance!

As for the dunk king...

All-Star Grand Slam? This can have!

...

Dealing with Ray Allen, who is at his peak and hasn't fully turned into a pure pitcher, may be a bit difficult for Liu Mang now, but Liu Mang still doesn't have much pressure to play against Reed, who has not yet reached his peak.

Mainly in terms of confidence, Liu Mang was full of confidence in himself, while Reed was tightly attached to the outside line by Liu Mang, and his good breakthrough was blocked, and his self-confidence was hit.

Of course, Reid is a player who can counterattack from a second-round pick in 2000 when he played no more than 10 times in his rookie season. The blow to his self-confidence will make him more motivated to become stronger .

Together with Arenas, Reed was called the most inspirational counterattack peak in the first decade of the 21st century. His tenacity is his greatest advantage.

But at this stage, Reid lost his composure again by Liu Mang.

"Ding...Michael Reid's skill cool scorer fails."

It was the Bucks' offense again. Reed was very unconfident after receiving the ball. It was strange that Reed lost his composure. He didn't play blindly, but he didn't dare to play. He passed the ball to Kukoc and let Kukoc Odd to support.

If it was Kukoc five years ago, he could shoot and pass anything. Although he has more playing time in the Bucks, he averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, which is the key to the Bucks ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference. , but it’s a bit embarrassing for him to be the core of the offense. Even in his peak period, he is only the second support point of the Bulls. He needs his teammates to attract the defense and then pass to him. He has the ability to shoot and then attracts the defense. He's good at it!

Kukoc took two steps to the edge of the three-second zone and made a throw, but he missed!

Kukoc is very helpless, this is not something he is good at!

Fortunately, the Bucks returned to defense quickly this time, and Liu Mang, who rushed in to grab the rebound, had no chance to counterattack.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt by himself. Sure enough, as coach Kruger thought during the timeout, the opponent's defense had changed significantly.

Coach George Karl throws out the zone defense!

Except for Reid, who was standing in front of Liu Mang, and Thomas, who was following Murtola under the basket, the other three Bucks were in the position of defenders who could double-team adjacent teammates at any time and could shrink to prevent the opponent from making cuts at any time.

It is the zone defense of the later Nuggets track and field team that allowed George Karl to win the best coach by relying on defensive counterattacks.

But this defense has a huge loophole, it can't defend against open three-pointers!

Liu Mang saw that the opponent's defense was obviously coming towards him, Liu Mang smiled, it was time to show a wave of real skills!

It was still a breakthrough, Liu Mang showed a strong desire to score, and he still made a strong breakthrough on the right side!

Reed retreated continuously. When Liu Mang rushed to the top corner of the free throw line, the Bucks double-teamed. De Mason attacked from behind Liu Mang, and Reed blocked the front, one in front and one behind, blocking the angle of Liu Mang's pass and blocking Liu Mang's possible observation of the line of sight behind him.

However, Liu Mang didn't even look behind him, and threw the ball from Drummond Mason's head to the top arc,

The key is that Prince just ran to the top arc at this time, and he felt great when he caught the ball, and he made a three-pointer!

Prince's strongest ability at this stage is defense. On the offensive end, there are only two moves, one is an air cut, and the other is a three-pointer, especially a three-pointer. Nine three-pointers!

This kind of open shot is in hand, and Prince catches the ball and hits a three-pointer!

Don't look at the pass!

So flirty! The fans felt that after a summer, Liu Mang has made great progress!

In addition, the previous few months were wasted, and now seeing Liu Mang's pass, the fans really want to cry: Give us back the 31 games of that Sangyue! We want to watch the hooligan dunk, we need to watch the hooligan pass!

Passing master level 5: Can predict the running position of teammates in advance, temporarily form a good tacit understanding with teammates who have the opportunity to catch the ball, greatly improve the passing accuracy, and have the best touch when teammates catch the ball.

Although the pass master skill basically does not have any ability bonuses, it is the strongest trick for point guards! Different from White Chocolate Williams' pass that tricks everyone, this kind of steady and solid pass is the real pass that can benefit teammates!

When Liu Mang had dunks, three-pointers, and now a no-look-pass, the Bucks felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Who says the Eagles are dead?

Who said that they had already collapsed because of their previous losing streak and were going to play badly?

Aren't they the same as last season! Still so strong!

The feeling of the Bucks now is the same as the feeling of playing against the Eagles twice after last season. There is only one thought in their hearts: it is impossible to beat it!

...

The matchup of the second team is the best time to widen the gap!

The Hawks' style of play today is the combination of Raheem and Ray Allen and Cassel when he went up. This was not planned in advance, but coach Kruger saw Raheem and Ray Allen I thought of it temporarily after I got up.

When the second lineup came up, Liu Wei and a few new players relied on their strength to widen the gap in one fell swoop!

So far, the idea seems to be working! And there is no need for Raheem to attract defenses, because Boozer and Prince both have shooting ability!

After seeing how flamboyant Liu Mang's pass was, the Bucks sometimes didn't dare to double-team Liu Mang, and Liu Mang would score, and sometimes double-teamed Liu Mang, and Liu Mang would pass the ball.

The main reason is that Prince, Jason Terry, and Boozer shot accurately today, and the morale mobilization before the game made them the best today!

Looking at the current substitute lineup, coach Kruger almost burst into tears, it's not easy! I also have a bench bandit at home! Raheem almost burst into tears, and finally he didn't have to go up to be a defensive target when he was tired!

After Liu Mang came up in the second quarter, he first scored by himself, and then led his teammates to score. The key point is that Prince's excellent defense ability also helped Liu Mang completely restrain Reid.

Reid is a strong contender for the best sixth man this year, averaging 16 points, 5 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game so far, and Bobby Jackson of the Kings is considered the two most likely candidates for the best sixth man.

Reid has become the favorite of the best sixth man and the most improved award at the same time, which is another key to the Bucks' fifth place in the Eastern Conference. His role on the bench is very critical for the Bucks.

The strength of a team is intertwined. If one aspect collapses, the other can only make up for it. The key is that the Bucks do not have the ability to make up for this disadvantage!

When the second team of the Bucks played a general point difference in the second quarter and was pulled to 12 points, the Bucks collapsed!

After both the Eagles and the Bucks replaced the main force, the Bucks had no advantage against the five strongest players of the Eagles. Ray Allen and Cassell had to work hard, but they could only barely keep the score when they were on the court at the same time. Almost pulled away.

But when the two were tired and went to rest, the Bucks collapsed!

Liu Mang proved with practical actions that he is the first candidate for the best sixth man, and he is still the best substitute in the world!

In the end, Liu Mang scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Raheem scored 48 points and 13 rebounds, Jason Terry scored 12 points, Boozer scored 7 points, and Prince scored 11 points... The Eagles defeated and scored 51 points The Bucks led by Ray Allen ended their six-game losing streak!
