Chapter 450 448. Break the Game! Win!
"call……"
After hitting one, Sabonis felt like he was sweating.
But such a strong play is necessary, and it needs to mobilize the enthusiasm of the teammates who were speechless by that rookie.
Such beautiful footsteps and technical movements, just as Sabonis thought, the Blazers players were all excited, and they came up to high-five Sabonis to celebrate when they returned to the center line.
Just when Sabonis was also very excited that he could occasionally score such singles goals, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly yelled: "Return to defense!"
But it was too late, Sabonis turned his head and saw that Ratliff had sent the ball to Raheem, and Raheem threw a long pass, Sabonis followed the passed ball with his eyes, and it reached the three-point line In Liu Mang's hands!
If Sabonis hadn't shaved, he would have blown his beard and stared at him and turned into an emperor. Just now he saw Liu Mang's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide in surprise. Sabonis was a little proud of himself. He is very proud of his skills. Last time, a big Chinese man taller than him asked him for an autograph and a group photo. He felt that he had another Chinese fan.
Then in a blink of an eye, this guy is said to have made a fast break!
Seeing Liu Mang's hasty low-altitude flying dunk, Sabonis felt that it was full of routines!
The Blazers players who hurried back felt that feeling again. Just as they were about to exert their strength, they had already ended the battle!
Just like what the Eagles coaching staff thought, they only need to give Liu Mang a rough tactical framework, pick and roll, individual singles, counterattack, and generally give this framework. Liu Mang will make the best choice he thinks.
Now Liu Mang's choice is to score quickly and then defend! Bring up the rhythm.
In the Trail Blazers game, the average number of shots per game combined by the two sides was only 155. Compared with the top three players in the league, the Kings, Mavericks, and Warriors averaged more than 175 shots per game. .
After the Hawks returned to normal, they averaged 171 shots per game from the two teams, much faster than the Blazers.
Therefore, Liu Mang knew that the tempo would not be fast when he saw Sabonis's singles, and the opponent had two players in the bottom corner, and Wells was competing with Raheem in the middle distance on the weak side. The brave Little Flying Squirrel was back in the past, so Liu Mang was ready to play quickly. Regardless of whether Sabonis made it or whether he had a chance to score directly, he had to increase his speed, scaring the opponent!
It's the Blazers offense again.
Patterson and Stoudemire returned to the backcourt to serve and advance. Liu Mang returned to the backcourt to defend early, and asked Ratliff whether to double-team singles or continue to defend the opponent's team's offense. Sabonis' singles just now were amazing. up.
Ratliff shook his head and refused to double-team, and made a gesture to shift the defensive center of gravity down the line, but he did not want to double-team.
Ratliff is the core of the defense, and his orders are the same as Liu Mang's orders on the offensive end, which must be carried out by the Eagles on the field.
Stoudemire pushed forward, Sabonis still asked for the ball at a distance of about three meters at a 45-degree angle on the left, and the rest of the Blazers still pulled away.
Sabonis' body shape is too advantageous, just like Shaquille O'Neal's position. The strong upper body strength is very incomprehensible. Seeing this scene again, Liu Mang really feels that Yao Ming is not suitable for Sabonis and O'Neal. This kind of heavy center development, Yao Ming's upper body strength is too weak compared with players such as Sabonis, O'Neal, and Eddie Curry.
Stoudemire passed the ball to Sabonis, and Sabonis leaned on Ratliff again.
He said he would not double-team, but Sabonis' terrifying strength that was completely inconsistent with his uncle's image, and the legend of his terrifying dominance like a big devil in the World Series, made it difficult for opponents not to pay attention force on him.
Just as people focused on Sabonis, who had just hit a beautiful ball, the weak side corner Rasheed Wallace took advantage of the moment Boozer turned his head and cut to the basket.
Fortunately, Boozer reacted fairly quickly and followed Rasheed Wallace closely. The two came to the basket together, and Boozer always stood in front of Rasheed Wallace.
At this time, Sabonis dribbled the ball and took a step out, turned around to the upper line, faced the basket, stood with his left foot, picked up the ball with his right hand, and raised the hook high!
Seeing this scene, Boozer rushed to interfere with Ratliff. Sabonis, who was two meters tall, came to this position so flexibly.
When Boozer and Ratliff double-teamed, Sabonis seemed to be shooting, but the ball he threw was not towards the basket, but down!
Rasheed Wallace received the ball and pulled up his hands in place for a gorilla dunk!
Different from the need to save Sabonis’ physical strength in the past, the Blazers will attack around Sabonis in this second team stage, because now Sabonis can only play more than ten minutes per game, and use it whenever he can, without standing. Then he can only play for ten minutes.
When Sabonis entered the NBA, the most regrettable thing is that he is almost 32 years old. The biggest problem for players of this age is physical fitness. Sabonis has been in the NBA for the seventh year, and he averaged more than 30 minutes per game in one season. , Most of the time it is about 24 minutes, and it is still used sparingly.
You must know that Sabonis faced Olajuwon, who had just won two consecutive championships in the first season of joining the NBA, and for the first time in the NBA against Olajuwon, he defended Olajuwon with 8 of 24 and hit The rate is frighteningly low, and I don't know what it is indicating. At the same time, Sabonis himself scored 13 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists.
It's just that he is too old, and Sabonis can't play casually like he was in his twenties.
This time the Blazers returned to the defense well, and everyone ran back hard... Sabonis ran back very hard. The specific picture refers to Yao Ming's running back to the defense in the 2008 Olympics.
However, the Blazers' defense is in place, and the Eagles can only fall into positional warfare.
Liu Mang dribbled forward and faced Patterson again. Liu Mang seemed to feel a trace of resentment in Patterson's eyes, and his ass tightened instantly. Could it be that this guy is also a lover of men? The names are so basic! Luben, I can refer to myself...
Patterson saw that Liu Mang seemed to be playing singles or picking and rolling, not passing the ball. Patterson felt that this was a good time to open his mouth and vent his anger!
In singles, you always have to wait until your teammates have opened up the space and finished running before starting singles, because teammates need to respond, teammates need to rush for offensive rebounds, and this is especially true for pick-and-rolls. Pick-and-rolls are not just a game for two people, but The teamwork of the whole team.
Glancing at it, the Eagles are running and Patterson is about to spray... Watt?
Patterson saw Liu Mang break through directly!
This guy is so unconventional!
Patterson quickly pressed on Liu Mang. Strength is an important part of his defense. There are not many defenders with a strength of 80. Pressing defense is what Patterson is best at.
When Liu Mang was pushed up by Patterson, he wanted to turn left and pass him by, but Patterson's footsteps were really unreliable. He dared to call himself Kobe's Terminator. He really had two brushes. Liu Mang referred to Jordan's breakthrough. Iron Elbow turned around, and Patterson stepped in first, holding Liu Mang's left elbow firmly with his chest. At the same time, Patterson's hand pushed Liu Mang's stomach, preventing Liu Mang from fully accelerating.
This is the kind of rough action that only happens in these years. When Liu Mang and Patterson came into contact, it was like they were fighting. You give me an elbow, and I want to trip you up and then punch you back. .
Suddenly, Liu Mang caught sight of a figure. At this time, Liu Mang stepped out with his right foot, and was pinned by Patterson's left foot between his legs. If he tried to move forward, he might be tripped, but Liu Mang's right foot The foot still stepped out, but instead of pushing forward forcefully, it kicked the ground with its right foot and bounced back!
Patterson quickly turned around and rushed out, but hit a wall of meat!
Boozer came out to pick and roll in a timely manner!
Generally, the pick-and-roll is to block the opponent's defensive player so that his teammates have a chance to break through the inside. The pick-and-roll between Liu Mang and Boozer is very strange. Liu Mang has almost reached the free throw line. Boozer came up to block the opponent, and Liu Mang rebounded Outside the three-point line!
But this time Rasheed Wallace had an effect, standing in front of Liu Mang.
Roaring Tianzun, who looks and builds like a gorilla, has a fierce expression, but his heart is beating drums. This guy is so fast, how can he fix it?
After Boozer gave Liu Mang a pick-and-roll, he stretched out to the three-point line in the 45 corner on the right. The Blazers have studied both offensive and defensive ends of the Eagles for a long time, and only then can they suppress the Eagles so perfectly at the start today He didn't dare to defend against Boozer's mid-range shot, and Patterson was pulled away by Boozer.
Liu Mang saw that there were only eight seconds left in the time, so he couldn't dawdle any longer, forcefully!
It was easy. Rasheed Wallace was very afraid of Liu Mang. He knew that as long as he stretched out his hand, Liu Mang would hit the cliff, but he was not as close to Liu Mang as Patterson was. Speed, Liu Mang changed direction and charged inside again!
Liu Mang rushed inside, and Sabonis threatened Ratliff who might cut into the basket to catch the ball with one hand towards the back, and looked calmly at Liu Mang who rushed in.
The biggest difference between Sabonis and Manute Ball, who are also NBA giants, is his tonnage. Ball’s weight is less than 100 kilograms. Except for defending and blocking shots, it does not have much effect on defense. There is no dominance, and the horror of Sabonis in the international arena lies in his defensive coverage of the entire three-second zone.
But this time Ratliff didn't stay at the basket, and when Liu Mang broke through, he went to pick and roll Raheem from the bottom line. When Liu Mang rushed into the three-second zone, Raheem also rushed in. !
Liu Mang immediately passed the pass to Raheem. At this time, Rasheed Wallace had rushed back. Seeing Liu Mang stopped at the free throw line, Rasheed Wallace didn't care, and rushed directly to the basket to fight Sabonis flanked Raheem together, and Liu Mang followed up quietly after Rasheed Wallace rushed in...
The time for Raheem to receive the pass from Liu Mang is running out, and there are three seconds left. This is also because Rasheed Wallace went directly to double-team Raheem, not afraid of Raheem passing back to Liu Mang for a mid-range shot. Reason, Raheem threw the ball to the basket before the double-team of the two arrived.
Like Yao Ming and Sabonis, big centers with terrifying heights, good mobility, and full tonnage, the data sometimes really can't reflect how terrifying their defense at the basket is. Sabonis jumps about as high as a match. , Raheem was still frightened and threw the arc of the throw very high, and the ball flew out and hit the basket with a "bang".
Raheem's throw is iron!
Just as Sabonis turned to hold Raheem and the rushing Ratliff, and Rasheed Wallace turned to grab a rebound, the ball just bounced off the rim and just flew out of the cylinder of the rim. A long arm, a long finger with a big palm point a little in the air, and the ball changes flight trajectory again and falls into the basket!
Scored again!
Liu Mang took a deep breath and immediately returned to defense.
It’s the Trail Blazers’ offense again, this time the Eagles’ defensive switch has become faster, because the Blazers’ two major inside offensive threats are available, Rasheed Wallace’s air cut, Sabonis’ footsteps, and the outside line The off-ball pick-and-roll, and the three-point threat of the little flying mouse, all put huge defensive pressure on the Eagles, and they had to quickly rotate the defense.
Fortunately, the Eagles' defense is really good. Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, and Ratliff are all very strong defensively. Boozer also has a body, and Kaka is still okay.
The offense of the Eagles became very difficult. Liu Mang held the ball from the outside a few times. Regardless of whether he shot a three-pointer or not, the opponent strictly guarded against it. Because the Blazers had Sabonis, a monster under the basket, the outside line was very blocked. , forcing the Hawks into the paint, and then the Blazers back in, giving the Hawks players constant contact.
In the end, fighting against each other, it was impossible to fight against too many outside lines, and the two teams became hand-to-hand combat!
too difficult!
Liu Mang finally understood why the Blazers were called the second strongest team in the league in 2000, why the Blazers were the team that caused the most trouble to the OK combination in 2000, and understood why the Blazers played against the Lakers In the tiebreaker, the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers by a slight advantage of 5 points and entered the finals.
The defense of the inside twin towers is enough for O'Neill!
It's not that O'Neal would only abuse food in the finals and then the little blacksmith king of the Western Conference Finals saved the Lakers. Of course, Kobe did play well in the Western Conference Finals and never lost to the conference finals. But when Kobe was strong enough, O'Neal relied on his invincible strength to attract the opponent's inside defense away. O'Neal himself played poorly in the Western Conference playoffs. Known as the King of the Western Conference finals, the charm of the OK combination lies in this. Even if the relationship between the two is so tense that they are about to fight, they still cooperate tacitly on the court.
Although Sabonis is three years older than three years ago, but his type of player, and his legs that can no longer jump as early as 30 years old, and now he only plays for more than ten minutes, his role is the same as before. There is not much difference. In 2000, when he averaged 27 minutes per game, he only had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Now he played 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in 14 minutes of playing time. The efficiency is similar, but he can't last more than 20 minutes.
The Eagles are in a hard fight. Every time they attack, they are forced to the last moment by the opponent's defense. Sabonis is a bit similar to Yao Ming's feeling of being the first center in the first three quarters. In these ten minutes of playing time, what Sabonis faced Super insiders like O'Neal and Duncan, he really has the feeling of dominance of the strongest center, and he slows down the rhythm extremely slowly. The ten minutes that Coach Cheeks surrounds him on the court are usually the best for the Blazers. a period of time.
On the defensive end of the Eagles, thanks to the prediction of Mike Woodson, an excellent defensive assistant, on the Trail Blazers side, Coach Cheeks originally wanted to use various singles in the first half of the quarter to fool the Eagles. But Mike Woodson predicted it, and the opponent must have this purpose, so he insisted on the team's defensive plan not changing, although Sabonis still sent a lot of good balls by relying on his passing ability, which was hailed by fans as an "air magician". But in the last few minutes of the first quarter and the second quarter, the Eagles did not allow the Blazers to open the score by relying on difficult scoring and hard defense.
Both teams changed a lot of players during this period, but only Liu Mang and Sabonis were on the field all the time. The others changed a lot of players because of the high-intensity confrontation. Only Liu Mang spared no effort and Sabonis played with ease. , Lead the team on the field.
After halftime, the Eagles entered the intermission after falling behind 41 to 47 by 6 points.
...
...
Disaster!
so difficult!
We only scored 41 points in the half, and seeing the team just hit 40% of their field goal percentage, such a fierce physical confrontation, as if they were playing against two or three teams in the East that struggled with defense, it was too difficult to deal with today's opponent.
Looking at his half-court statistics of 7 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, Liu Mang once again felt the torture he experienced when he played against the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals last year.
The Trail Blazers played very hard today. They competed fiercely with the Timberwolves for the fourth place in the Western Conference. There was no difference in wins between the two teams, so they did not dare to lose more than one game.
The competition for the playoff rankings in the Wild West began in the middle of the season, Liu Mang thought it was quite exciting.
Liu Mang has a feeling that the strong teams in the West are indeed more difficult to play than the strong teams in the East. The fifth place in the West is not much worse than the Nets.
The Eagles can only rely on talent to play, and many shots are hard. Fortunately, the talent of the Eagles is indeed strong enough. When the opponent is fully prepared, the Eagles can still cling to the score.
However, Liu Wei made a comparison. Although the Trail Blazers had a better record than the Nets, he felt that the Nets were better. He could hold on when he fell behind. Being so strong in the Eastern Conference finals, there is still a great chance on my side.
The halftime break was much longer than the intermission. Coach Kruger asked the players to rest. Coach Kruger discussed with assistant coach Mike Woodson for a few minutes, and then began to assign tasks for the second half.
"Ace, Jason, Sharif, Nazr, Theo..." Coach Kruger continued to send the five main players on the field.
These days, with such an intense game, and under the pressure of such a record, it is possible for the main players to play the entire game. Even Ratliff, today's playing time is estimated to be close to 40 minutes. La Ratliff only rested for more than three minutes in the middle of the second quarter in the first half. After Sabonis also rested for more than three minutes, Ratliff came up immediately. , just Ratliff.
...
...
At the start of the second half, the Eagles sent out the strongest lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Mohammed, and Ratliff.
Unexpectedly, Sabonis, who played well in the first half, did not play! The Blazers put on a lineup of Damon Stoudemire, Derek Anderson, Scottie Pippen, Zach Randolph, and Rasheed Wallace!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Blazers attacked, and the flying mouse dribbled the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Seeing Little Flying Squirrel rushing over, Liu Mang immediately wanted to go up to defend, but when Liu Mang was moving towards the left front, he was blocked by someone, and it was the kind of pulling and pulling! Liu Mang looked up, and Rasheed Wallace's ghostly smile appeared in front of his eyes.
Rasheed Wallace came up to block Liu Mang, and Little Flying Squirrel used the pick-and-roll to go inside. Liu Mang's comparable speed has become the speed of an ordinary point guard. The little flying mouse with excellent direction-changing ability cannot be blocked by Muhammad. Liu Mang quickly pushed away Rasheed Wallace's hand clamping his arm. The little flying squirrel pinched over.
As soon as Liu Mang ran to the side of Little Flying Squirrel, Little Flying Squirrel passed the ball. After Rasheed Wallace was freed by Liu Mang, he immediately made an air cut. At the same time, Zach Randolph pulled out of the three-second zone. Ratliff had to guard against this fat guy with shooting ability that the Eagles focused on before the game. Rasheed Wallace rushed to the basket and dunked with a tomahawk!
Really fast and furious!
Immediately return to defense, now the Blazers lineup is extremely fast, and five players can quickly return to defense.
Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, waiting for his teammates to settle down.
Rasheed Wallace, Liu Mang took a look at the inside and Ratliff's position and shouted at Tianzun, this guy is simply a geek! He looks wretched, and his muscles are not that clear-cut, but he can jump and buckle so well, and he doesn't suffer from confrontation when defending alone, and he has a strong position at the basket.
41 to 49. Looking at the 8-point difference, Liu Mang felt that this could not go on. In the third quarter, the score must be recovered, otherwise this is an away game, and the opponent is fully prepared. The key is that the Blazers are too rich Yes, this year the Blazers' salary has reached 105 million US dollars. There are a lot of available players in various positions, and their strengths are not bad. Paul Allen said that in terms of spending money, what is the Knicks? The Rain Man is still enjoying the 13 million salary of the Blazers and the 2 million salary of the Magic at the same time.
Liu Mang looked at Anderson who was defending him, whistled to remind his teammates, then quickly raised his left hand and stretched out three fingers, and started to break through at the same time!
Anderson quickly took a step back, then turned his head and glanced to see who the opponent was coming to pick and roll. In the first half, the Eagles were able to withstand the Blazers' offensive and defensive tactics, largely due to Boozer's excellent pick and roll, Not only for Liu Mang, Boozer's pick-and-roll awareness has helped the Eagles in all aspects.
But Anderson didn't see anyone!
After turning his head, Liu Mang withdrew from the three-point line and grabbed the ball!
In fact, this is a matter of a split second, and it all depends on how fast the players react. When Liu Mang saw Anderson turning his head, he immediately took a step back and threw a sniper shot!
It was too late for Anderson to jump forward, Liu Mang's sniper had already been thrown out!
At the same time, Raheem rushed inside, Muhammad, Ratliff stuck Randolph and Rasheed - Wallace.
The ball plunged into the basket and Liu Mang made a three-pointer.
The gesture Liu Mang made was as simple and clear as the numbers he compared. He wants to shoot a three-pointer!
With the Hawks taking advantage of rebounds, Liu Mang shot the ball very confidently. Anyway, he has an advantage if he doesn’t score his own top three rebounds. The opponent replaced this lineup with only Rasheed Wallace inside. Can you get stuck, Randolph? He is not the Randolph of the Grizzlies, and now he still holds the key to lock the gate of the Trail Blazers prison.
The Eagles were stuck in the position for a long time and rushed for a long time. The ball was scored, and the Eagles' top three were not dissatisfied because of it. Of course it was the best to score, and the offensive rebound was also the best. It was a two-pointer and a three-pointer. Of course the best.
Just after Liu Mang made a three-pointer, Rasheed Wallace, who was stuck, caught the ball from under the basket and immediately withdrew from the baseline to serve!
Coach Cheeks showed an evil smile on the sidelines, watching the little flying mouse rushing to the frontcourt, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Raheem who caught up behind blocked the little flying mouse under the basket, and the little flying mouse took the ball Passing back to the top arc, Rasheed Wallace made a follow-up three-pointer, and Coach Cheeks smiled even more evilly, which can even be described as obscene.
The face of Coach Cheeks is indeed too much.
In the third quarter, the Blazers' style of play changed again!
Before dawdling, it brought the Eagles into the rhythm of Sabonis. Sabonis scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists in the half. It seems that the statistics are not particularly good, but the effect is huge. Like the 2000 Western Conference Finals, Sabonis averaged only 5 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block and 8 points and 4 assists per game, but his role is far greater than the statistics.
The Eagles were really fooled. Seeing that Sabonis fell into the positional battle in the first half and played with ease, it seemed that he could fight for another quarter, so the Eagles still sent a big lineup, but after the third quarter started , The Blazers have changed! It has become a lineup that is fast and can counterattack!
Moreover, what stunned the Eagles players was that the Blazers actually "copied" their style of play. It was really unexpected that the Blazers actually came to a cavalry charge! And it was Rasheed Wallace who made the three-pointer!
Coach Cheeks seemed to be laughing out loud. After he was tortured by the Eagles' trick last year, he had long wanted to try to make the opponent often feel stunned by the counterattack, and expended all of Sabonis' physical energy today. In the halftime, Coach Cheeks planned for this moment. In the third quarter, when the opponent thought he would grind his position, he came back with a counterattack and opened up the point difference in one fell swoop!
At the beginning of the second half, seeing the strongest lineup sent by the Eagles, Coach Cheeks not only didn't feel the pressure, but felt that the opportunity was coming. He wanted to laugh a long time ago, but he had to hold back!
Coach Cheeks' overgrown face held back a smile, it looked extremely evil, children should not look at it, it will affect sleep.
Now Coach Cheeks only waits for the Eagles to finish their offense, and then their Trail Blazers counterattacked wildly. Now five of the Blazers can throw three-pointers! Including Randolph, they all have three-pointers during training, and it doesn't matter if they throw it!
It's just that Coach Cheeks probably didn't expect the Eagles to be this kind of team.
When Liu Mang saw Rasheed Wallace showing a magical smile, sticking out his tongue and celebrating with his teammates while returning to defense, and seeing Coach Cheeks with an evil smile on the sidelines, he immediately understood, too Obviously, the other party has planned for a long time!
Let the Eagles attack in an unaccustomed style of play from the beginning of the game, premeditated is the current situation!
If it is an ordinary team, they must want to slow down the pace. After all, judging from the strength of the lineups of the two teams, the Eagles definitely have the absolute advantage. There are not many teams in the league that have the combination of these five players. But the Eagles are not an ordinary team, 44 to 52, Liu Mang saw that the difference was still 8 points, so he immediately called a timeout.
When Cheeks was holding back his laughter and couldn't help it, the referee helped him hold it back and blew the timeout whistle.
As soon as Coach Cheeks smiled, it got stuck on his face. Looking at the Eagles, some people started to take off their training uniforms to play. Coach Cheeks had a bad feeling...
The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell, and Muhammad.
Coach Cheeks can't laugh this time, what are you doing! A little bit of pride in a strong team, okay? How long have you been fighting? 46 seconds! Is this called suspending substitutions? How about some pride in the strong team? And even if it's a weak team, it won't be replaced after only 46 seconds of playing! And you also scored three points just now!
This is called a timeout for the Eagles, and this time the Blazers' plan was broken!
...
The Eagles made a substitution, but the Trail Blazers couldn't change, because their combination just now scored two goals in a row and played just right. Coach Cheeks was afraid of affecting morale, so he couldn't make a substitution. This is also the most incredible thing about Coach Cheeks. Just now The Eagles' lineup is also playing well, right? Are you afraid that the big center will be unhappy if he is replaced after playing for more than 40 seconds? After all, this is a player's league. A best defensive player like Ratliff, whether he is happy or not is very important to the team.
Coach Cheeks doesn't understand the mentality of a team with a quirky second-year player...
Liu Mang felt relieved now. He had never been able to understand the Blazers' style of play before, and the Eagles had always been led by the nose. Now in the third quarter, the final plan of the Blazers was exposed. Liu Mang immediately relaxed.
Faced with the opponent's incomprehensible style of play, I would feel uneasy, but I have already seen that the opponent wants to imitate the cavalry company charge on my side in the third quarter, counterattack with a bunch of pitchers for three-pointers, and then probably in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, a big lineup was sent to grind the position and hold the advantage.
Having already understood the opponent's routine, Liu Mang naturally has a way to deal with it.
Charge than cavalry? Coach Kruger heard that the opponent's strategy guessed by Liu Mang was consistent with the strategy he had guessed just now. Coach Kruger thought it was very interesting, and decisively replaced him and dispatched the "Jianlian" cavalry company lineup for one and a half years!
As for whether Ratliff will be unhappy? Ratliff can't wait to play dead in the regular season and give full play in the playoffs. He has tasted the feeling of winning in the playoffs. For the regular season, the statistics are OK.
The Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang advanced quickly. The Eagles' lineup did not have any big men over 2.1 meters, so they advanced very quickly. Almost five people from the Eagles pressed forward at the same time. Liu Mang was at the end, and Raheem rushed into the third At the point line, Liu Mang shot the ball directly just after passing the center line!
The Blazers fans at the scene saw Liu Mang throwing the ball so high in the way of a quarterback pass, and let out an exclamation, and even forgot to boo, especially when the ball was squeezed by Raheem Pippen who came over the top When it fell into the hands of Raheem who just entered the free throw line, the fans couldn't help but let out an American "oh-my-god" exclamation!
When being pressed by the opponent, it is a bit difficult for Liu Mang to pass the ball. He is not experienced enough to make such predictions while attracting the defense while being pressed by the opponent. But this kind of ball is quite comfortable to wear at this time.
Raheem rushed inside to receive the ball, and Rasheed Wallace at the basket immediately made up for it. Although Randolph had no desire to defend, he was also waving his hands to cheer. At this time, Raheem threw the ball to the left. Plug, Mohammed who followed up received the ball and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
The Eagles launched an attack suddenly, and Liu Mang's pass caught the Blazers by surprise. However, the Blazers prepared for today's game for three days. Coach Cheeks has been emphasizing that until the third quarter, no matter whether the opponent scores or not The goal is to counterattack immediately, to run like the Eagles, to run to the opponent's death, the Trail Blazers players will keep it in mind, Rasheed Wallace doesn't care about blaming Randolph just now when he saw Muhammad rushing in Without reaching out to block it, he immediately bent down to pick up the ball, jumped out of the baseline and turned around to serve.
Just when Rasheed Wallace jumped out of the baseline and turned around, he didn't notice a guy who passed a quarterback-style lob pass and trotted in, then cowered after him later.
Rasheed Wallace has a problem that can't be changed until he retires ten years later, that is, his movements are exaggerated, that is, all kinds of movements are exaggerated!
Rasheed Wallace turned around and was about to lift the ball up and give a loud roar before passing it out. He felt something touched his arm, and then heard a scream that was more exaggerated than him. He looked down, isn't it Ace? What are you doing on the ground?
At this time, the referee told Rasheed Wallace what Liu Mang was doing on the ground, the referee whistled, and Rasheed Wallace made an offensive foul! The serve pusher violated the law, and the Eagles played the ball in the frontcourt.
Just now, the referee "saw" that Liu Mang wanted to go up and steal Rasheed Wallace's serve, although in terms of the height difference, the referee did not believe that Rasheed Wallace could serve the ball to Liu Mang. The degree of grabbing, but who called this server Rasheed Wallace.
Therefore, when Liu Mang was "knocked down by Rasheed Wallace with an elbow on his shoulder", the referee did not hesitate to give Rasheed Wallace an offensive foul!
Rasheed Wallace is so confused, what happened! Just pick up the ball by yourself and make an offensive foul? Is there any reason!
In fact, if it is another person, the referee may not be able to blow this kind of ball. If it is Pippen, the referee will probably not care about this ball, but who calls this person Rasheed Wallace? It is unreasonable , The referee whistled in strict accordance with the rules.
Rasheed Wallace glanced at the referee, and then at Liu Mang who was helped up by his teammates. Liu Mang just caught Rasheed Wallace's eyes and blinked at Rasheed Wallace I rolled my eyes.
Rasheed Wallace, who was still in a dazed state and didn't know what to do, made a foul, and suddenly understood, and was overshadowed by this "friend" again!
Rasheed Wallace managed to stop roaring at halftime, but Liu Mang blinked, and his blood rushed to his brain instantly.
Rasheed Wallace has a characteristic. He rarely fights, and he doesn’t fight when his teammates fight. Find a referee...
Rasheed Wallace rushed to the referee on the sidelines and yelled: "You were cheated by that guy! He's a flop! A flop! Did you see that? What did you see? Are you pigheads? He's Deliberately stick it on my arm...&%*&...*&...…"
Watching Rasheed Wallace keep yelling at the referee, spraying and spraying the referee to explain, Rasheed Wallace sprayed out all the swear words, and the referee immediately sent a technical foul.
At this time, Rasheed Wallace became even more angry, staring at the referee in front of him and shouting: "You charged money again! I know you, you are the bastard who blew the black whistle of the Kings! You know, everyone Want to strangle you!"
The white middle-aged referee was really frightened this time, and gave Rasheed Wallace another technical foul, and Rasheed Wallace was sent off!
This Roaring Heavenly Venerate is really on point! Liu Mang didn't expect to set Rasheed Wallace on fire!
But... so rich! Liu Mang watched as Rasheed Wallace sent another $10,000...
It's just that Liu Mang didn't expect that the one who whistled their game today seems to be the referee Tim Donaghy who whistled the game in the Western Conference Finals last year. The referee whistled!
Wait, this looks like a call for Rasheed Wallace's transformation from a technical foul king? Liu Mangkidrashed-Wallace was suspended by the NBA for seven games because of "verbal threats to kill" the referee. After returning, the number of technical fouls suddenly decreased, and he began to "behave"!
What a coincidence!
...
...
Yes, Liu Mang started playing tricks against his opponents again.
Liu Mang also wants hard steel, but the pioneers have done too much preparation today, Liu Mang wants to do it with real swords and guns, he thinks that he has always been an upright hard steel role, but there is really no way No, the team's record is important, and the hard steel is reserved for next time...let's talk about it next season! When Sabonis retires next season, the Blazers should collapse, and it will be just then.
Rasheed Wallace was sent off, the Trail Blazers are crazy, how can this be played!
In the third quarter, the Eagles relied on the cavalry company to quickly overtake the score. In the third quarter, they scored 33 points in a single quarter. After three quarters, they played 74 to 67 and went from being behind by 6 points to leading by 7 points.
Rasheed Wallace's role in the Trail Blazers is not only the first scorer, the first three-pointer, but also his role on the defensive end is not reflected in the data, but he is in the Western Conference team, not like Sabonis is famous for his defense, so many people don't like his defense. They didn't know him until he got to the Pistons, a team where defense is the absolute priority. In the past, the "useless" people ran around, the "useless" people yelled at the top of their voices, and the "useless" people bumped into the opponent's inside line to get fouls, so it was so effective.
In the fourth quarter, the Blazers had Sabonis and no Rasheed Wallace, and the defensive effect plummeted instantly. Dale Davis was also very good, but he was the main center. The effect of Laisi's defense on the defensive end is much lower, especially on the offensive end, he is completely unable to help Sabonis open up space for Sabonis to organize the offense.
Liu Reck looked at Coach Cheeks, who had been suffocating his laughter and roaring angrily. If the opponent hadn't insisted on "copying" the cavalry company's tactics in the third quarter, he still couldn't find a chance to let Rasheed Wallace Disappointed and sent off.
Originally, the Eagles were not weaker than the Trail Blazers. Except for being caught off guard at the beginning, after Liu Mang came on the field, the performances of the two teams were actually even. The 7 points were reduced to 6 points, that is to say, the Eagles have been chasing points, but the Blazers defended well.
When Rasheed Wallace was away, the Hawks fell into position and took the initiative. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Hawks pulled the score to 89-74 and opened the gap to more than 15 points.
Although Coach Cheeks replaced Sabonis in the last quarter and wanted to try to use Sabonis' pass to fight again, but Coach Cheeks had drained the oil in Sabonis' fuel tank in the first half , Sabonis seems to be able to play with ease, but it just seems that Sabonis's style of play is already very stable, because he no longer has the physical fitness and physical fitness of the rough style of play before the age of 30. It is too difficult for the old overlord of the world basketball to have him play like the first half in the fourth quarter.
Ever since Rasheed Wallace was sent off, the Eagles began to have an absolute advantage. From that moment on, Liu Mang never heard boos in his ears. Whether he took the ball, scored or assisted, the whole field was full of boos. Voice.
In the end, the Eagles reversed the Trail Blazers 101 to 93 in an away game. The method was a bit disgraceful, but the Eagles won after all!
Liu Mang scored a quasi double-double with 16 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists!
...
...
After the game, Liu Mang, who had no suspense, was blocked by the reporters. This time, he really couldn't hide. Rasheed Wallace deserved to be sent off for uttering wild words, but the reason for everything, It was when Liu Mang was "elbowed".
At the same time, Sabonis, who scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in the game today, was also invited to be interviewed.
When Sabonis was asked what he thought of Liu Mang, the local reporter in Portland hoped that the world basketball giant, who has a prestige comparable to Jordan's, scolded Liu Mang.
But unexpectedly, Sabonis said: "Ace is great. He is always trying his best to win for the Eagles. Maybe the means are not very likable, but I think that since the Eagles have him, they have come a step by step. Unbelievable level, this is very good, Rashid was sent off today, we were too careless, this is our problem all the time, I will have a good talk with Rashid next, I will retire soon , Rashid is my best brother, I can't leave him alone in the future."
Sabonis' words surprised the reporters, and Liu Mang was also surprised. On the one hand, Yao Ming's idol and world basketball leader actually praised himself. On the other hand, it turned out that Rasheed Wallace was "good", Not only because of the suspension, but thinking about it, it is right to think about it. So much money has been fined. If you can "be good" because of being suspended, you will be "better" a long time ago. It turns out that it is with the help of this big brother!
Local reporters in Portland responded to Sabonis, although they felt the generosity of a veteran and his care for his team's juniors, but the media were still very upset.
If a player like Rasheed Wallace is in his own team, although the fans will often scold him because his head is hot and cause the team to lose, but Rasheed Wallace has always been treated by his own team. Loved by the fans of the team, who doesn't like such a power forward with a straightforward personality and a strong style of play?
Therefore, the reporter turned the artillery to Liu Mang: "Mr. Liu, now everyone is saying that you won the game because of your flopping to deliberately provoke Rasheed Wallace. What do you want on this issue? Justified?"
This question is quite direct and sharp, and it is directly attached to personal emotions, and it is as direct as Europeans and Americans.
Liu Mang didn't know what to say at first, and he just wanted to answer according to the script given by the team press officer, but at this moment, he suddenly had a funny answer: "Oh, miss, everyone? Who is everyone? Who is everyone? Man? Tell him to come out and confront me! I'm going to sue him for defamation! Or is your last name 'Everybody', Miss?"
"hiss……"
The reporters at the scene saw Liu Mang's aggressive aura, as if he had suffered a disadvantage...all couldn't help sighing secretly: It really is shameless!
After a few words with my mother, my mother was so angry that she picked up the broom, took out fifty yuan from her pocket, and threw it at my father: "Give me a good education!" My father took the broom and money : "Come on! Daughter-in-law, look at it!" Then there was another pause: "Daughter-in-law, if you add another fifty to me, I promise you won't recognize what he educated!"
