Chapter 495: Where's the Ball? (Ask for a Monthly Ticket~)
After the timeout, the Eagles sent out the strongest lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.
The Kings really used their main players to their death. Webber played the whole game, Bibby, Christie, and Peja also rushed for 40 minutes, and Divac, a veteran, played more than 30 minutes.
With 5 minutes and 46 seconds left in the clock, the Eagles trailed the Kings by 6 points 91 to 97.
The Eagles had the ball, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt.
Bibby couldn't defend anymore, so he replaced Christie to defend Liu Mang. Liu Mang had already scored 26 points in the first three quarters.
The Eagles began to run normally. Muhammad mentioned the distance from the free throw line and was ready to pick and roll Liu Mang at any time. Rahim pulled to the left corner of the basket to pick and roll for Jason Terry.
The Eagles' normal running tactics are the same as what the Kings players saw when they studied the Eagles before the game. However, seeing such a normal running position, the Kings players didn't believe it! Because the Eagles had such a running position before, but they didn't expect the person who shot the shot in the end.
The Kings don't even know where to put their attention, and they always feel that anyone may get the ball and attack regardless.
However, the Eagles really played very normally this time. It is not so easy for Liu Mang to single-handedly beat Christie. Christie may be a super defensive defender in the league after Kidd and Kobe. At this time, Liu Mang did not choose to be tough. Come on, the main thing is to seek stability, and to pick and roll, Muhammad stepped forward to help Liu Mang block Christie.
The pick and roll master triggers!
Christie was vigilant, and was ready to quickly bypass the pick-and-roll when Muhammad blocked it. His 90 speed and excellent anticipation were enough to complete this task, but! Liu Mang passed by Muhammad like a gust of wind. When Christie was blocked by Muhammad, in just half a second, Liu Mang's feet seemed to be on hot wheels, and Christie reacted. When he came over, he had already rushed into the distance of the free throw line!
It's like popping off a spring!
The Kings were already nervous about the Eagles' blunders and throws, and they couldn't figure out how the Eagles were going to play. When the last official timeout was just now, it was the Kings. Defensive assistant coach Thibodeau can't think of a solution. There is no solution at all, because the Eagles play this tactic for a while, and then play other teams' tactics for a while, so Thibodeau's last solution is to watch the defense.
So, Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line, and Divac immediately rushed to defend. At this time, Raheem just helped Jason Terry block Bibby, turned around and rushed to the basket! Liu Mang was assigned to Rahim at the first time, and Rahim rushed to the basket. Since Weber did not follow Muhammad, he immediately blocked in front of Rahim. Bibby and Peja, who were originally defending the pick-and-roll They all ran in with Raheem!
Tactic achieved!
Liu Mang first took advantage of the king's defense to be dazed and Muhammad really played a pick-and-roll. The king rushed back to the defense, and Liu Mang passed to Rahim, completely attracting the defense away!
Raheem didn't force the shot, he jumped up and turned around and gave it to Jason Terry. Jason Terry received the ball from the outside and was completely empty!
A three-point shot hit!
Jason Terry was really strong at the critical moment, and he made a three-pointer to narrow the point difference to three points!
Still three points away!
Kings attack!
Bibby advanced to the frontcourt and looked at Raheem who was defending him. Bibby really had nothing to do. He was not a physical player with average speed and strength. Although he played hard, it was only for point guards to defend him. When encountering this kind of defender who is taller than him, has better speed and flexibility, and is far stronger than him, he is often deflated. Just like last year's Western Conference Finals tiebreaker, he was defended by Kobe 11 times in a row It's not the same as shooting.
Bibby saw that Webb had stuck Muhammad under the basket again, and immediately passed it.
Webber has shown his confidence. He scored 45 points in three and a half quarters, which is already the second highest score in a single game in his career. In addition, the Eagles let him play singles throughout the game. Grandpa singles!
but!
The Eagles suddenly started double-teaming! As soon as Weber turned around, he saw Ratliff take a step to block the path of his half-turned step, and at the same time raised his arms high, blocking the connection between him and Divac. Weber turned back and half-turned to withdraw Go out or pass to a teammate, and hit another person all of a sudden! Weber suddenly found that Raheem was already pressing behind him!
Weber was flanked back and forth!
Although Rahim was a little smaller than Weber after gaining weight after coming to the king, the two were about the same height. Weber was pushed up head-on, and Raheem raised his hands to show that he didn't push people, so Weber couldn't see turning around at all. The teammate who was released by Raheem later!
Webb was caught off guard by the Hawks' sudden double-teaming. He didn't prepare to pass the ball in advance, thinking that he would definitely score. Today, his confidence has been fully displayed.
Weber, who was on the edge of the three-second zone, saw that he was about to attack for three seconds, so he could only forcefully throw the ball to the basket!
Weber is not an insider with a height advantage. Speaking of it, he can be said to be a mini insider. He is only 2.06 meters tall, and his physical fitness has declined. He has already made 30 shots in this game, and he still succeeded 30 times, not counting him. He made 6 of 8 free throws. This kind of poorly prepared strong shot threw a bridge.
When Divac saw the ball flying towards him, his fear when he saw Webber being double-teamed and unable to make a pass immediately turned into surprise. He could directly make a tip-up with this rebound!
Divac tried to use his matchbox-like bounce to jump up and try to make a putback!
Seeing that the hand is getting closer and closer to the ball, just when Divac is ready to exert force and is about to touch the ball and push the ball back to the basket, one hand uses a faster speed than him reach for the ball...
number 1!
The number 1 of the Eagles!
Divac saw the No. 1 fly by and took the ball away!
Liu Mang's key rebound!
After landing, Liu Mang kicked his left foot and immediately sprinted towards the frontcourt!
The Kings returned to the defense immediately with two outside lines. They did not try to stop Liu Mang from going down quickly, but returned to the defense first. Liu Mang dribbled towards the front and almost entered the three-point line at the same time as Bibby and Christie, and rushed into the three-point line. After splitting the line, Bibby and Christie flanked Liu Mang.
Liu Mang rushed within the free throw line. At this time, Jason Terry and Raheem also rushed over. Peja, who originally wanted to chase Liu Mang, had to block Jason Terry.
Liu Mang didn't necessarily want a three-pointer for stability this time. Seeing that Christie was in front of his left and Bibby in front of his right, the two were about to form a double team. Christie also took a big step to block Liu Mang. Liu Mang then took a step with his right foot towards the right edge of the three-second zone, and at the same time grabbed the ball with his right hand. Christie stared at Liu Mang's footsteps, trying to When Liu Mang changed direction for the last time, judge Liu Mang's intentions in advance.
but……
Christie saw Liu Mang landing on both feet at the same time!
Then turned around and ran away...
what's going on?
Christie watched Liu Mang turn around and run away. Could it be that he passed it out to his teammates to shoot?
its not right! Christie looked at Jason Terry who was blocked by Peja, saw Raheem who had just reached the free throw line, and Muhammad who had just stepped on the three-point line, and Rat who never came in the backcourt. Leaf...the ball!
Christie is so confused!
The fans at the scene saw Christie's bewildered expression after his defensive failure. Although most of them were Kings fans, they still couldn't help laughing! This picture is so funny, Christie's honest face, now this picture is so funny!
Adelman called a timeout!
1 point left! 96 to 97, the Eagles narrowed the point difference to one point!
At this time, the big screen above the court played back the exciting scene just now. Liu Mang grabbed the ball with his hands when he stepped to the right, but he didn't grab the ball with both hands when he took three big strides like ordinary players, and he even didn't have the rhythm of ordinary players. Not the same, grab the ball and lift it up and throw the ball to the basket with the strength of the step to the right!
The shot was too sudden, and Christie was still predicting Liu Mang's change of direction. Who knew that Liu Mang caught the ball and made a low-handed layup!
Not only the same hands and feet, but also this kind of sudden shot that no one could have expected!
Iverson's step layup with the same hands and feet and Dragic's low-handed layup in the running made Christie play around!
After feeling sorry for Christie and finding it funny again, after watching the replay of the scoring on the big screen, the Kings players and fans realized that something was wrong, and the score difference was only 1 point!
The Eagles came up, and the Kings were very uncomfortable with their sudden and serious style of play. They were trying to find a way to deal with the Eagles' blind play throughout the game. Every time they came back from a timeout, the Eagles changed their style of play again. Playing blindly, because the Kings are really average, in order to prevent the Kings from connecting with the strongest inside and outside players, the Eagles deliberately clamped one to death, leaving one for singles.
Of course, due to the strong overall strength of the Kings, the Kings have also been suppressing the Eagles.
As a result, the Eagles suddenly changed back to a serious style of play. The Kings managed to keep up with the rhythm of blind play, but now they are not used to playing normally!
Only then did the Kings discover that the Eagles had been playing against them with a strange rhythm, in order to catch them off guard at the last moment and play a style of play that was completely beyond their expectations!
The Kings players thought about this after returning to the bench, and then gave Liu Mang a fierce look at Liu Mang, who was high-fiving his teammates.
Liu Mang felt a wave of malice behind his back, the feeling of a cold vest, he has experienced it many times this year.
OK! The young master took the blame this time! Even if it wasn't, the young master would admit it, this is the young master's strategy!
