Chapter 539: 538. Defensive Conflicts Go Hard!

Just a three-pointer, Kidd immediately regarded Liu Mang as the most difficult point to deal with.

Kidd is very sure that Liu Mang is the key to the Eagles' victory. Jason Terry, Raheem, and Muhammad are the foundation to guarantee the Hawks' lower limit, and Liu Mang is the one who raises the upper limit.

Seeing that Raheem was always used as a pinning point at the beginning, Kidd made a decisive choice and changed his defensive strategy. After Liu Mang pushed forward, he pressed towards Liu Mang!

Seeing Kidd's defensive changes, the Nets' defense was tacit and began to concentrate in the middle.

Raheem came up to pick and roll Liu Mang. Liu Mang got rid of Kidd and cut into the three-point line. He wanted to pass to Raheem to cut into the inside line. Just after passing, he was touched by Richard Jefferson and the ball flew out. The outside world.

The high pick-and-roll was predicted!

Fortunately, it was not intercepted.

The ball goes out of bounds, the Eagles make substitutions, Jason Terry replaces Prince, Boozer replaces Muhammad, and the Eagles need to strengthen their offense.

When Kittles' impact dropped sharply and he focused on outside shooting, Jason Terry was barely capable of this defense, and after Prince missed a three-pointer at the start, the Nets shrank significantly and became more decisive Now, it’s not like Liu Mang’s offensive threat even if he doesn’t enter. After Prince didn’t enter, the opponent chose to let him go decisively. Coach Kruger who was on the sidelines just now clearly saw that Kittles was ready to attack Rashi. Mu shrinks in and double-teams when he cuts in.

Prince is still too immature. In such a big scene, apart from hitting an iron at the beginning, he is basically equal to an invisible man. Kittles also made two three-pointers on defense.

Eagles throw-in.

Liu Mang served the ball. The Nets defended the ball very tightly, constantly going forward, a lot of physical confrontation, Kenyon Martin stood in front of Liu Mang, Kidd went to follow Jason Terry, Rat Leaf came up to block Kidd for Jason Terry, but failed to create a gap for Jason Terry. Kidd predicted it in advance and went around and grabbed Jason Terry's clothes. Tliff's wide body couldn't stop him, and the Eagles didn't have a good chance to catch the ball!

At this time, Liu Mang saw the open area of ​​the Nets due to the detour around the front center, and came up with an idea. He whistled and glanced at the basket. Rahim immediately understood, ran towards the basket, and put Richard- Jefferson made it clear after squeezing away.

This scene was discovered by the players of the Nets. Kenyon Martin, who stood in front of Liu Mang and hindered Liu Mang's serving route and vision, kept jumping in front of Liu Mang, and Mutombo also stood up in front of Raheem. At that time, Liu Mang had already thrown the ball towards the basket!

Seeing that Raheem was trapped by Mutombo and Richard Jefferson, the fans at the scene burst into ecstasy. Is this going to be a mistake?

Just as the Nets players rushed in to grab the ball, the head of a man who looked like a bandit emerged from behind Mutombo, stretched out his hand and pressed the falling ball into the basket!

Raheem is just a cover! Relying on Raheem to lure Mutombo out, Boozer's lob!

The Nets players did not expect Liu Mang to hit such a beautiful serve lob without calling a timeout in just a few seconds! And they cooperated so well that they completely fooled the Nets players! Looking at Liu Mang and Raheem's whistles and eyes, who would have guessed that the real scoring point is another person! Watching Boozer and Liu Mang return to defense with high fives, the Nets felt the pressure from the Eagles.

9 to 13, the point difference returned to within five points!

Actually... even Raheem didn't think that he was just a cover, cheated again, or cheated by his teammates, Raheem was so hurt... Wait, a question popped up in Raheem's mind, why did he come back again? Woolen cloth? Since when have I been lied to by my teammates...uh...it seems more than once.

Forget it, just get used to it, grab rebounds and win! Winning matters! Raheem's self-regulation ability after playing on bad teams for so many years is good.

Liu Mang returned to the backcourt. He was not sure about the ball just now. If Muhammad was on the field, Liu Mang might have called a timeout. The tacit understanding between Boozer and Liu Mang can tell that the ball is for him.

The Nets attacked. After the Nets scored 13 points in the first 4 minutes, the offensive efficiency dropped and returned to normal. Kenyon Martin and Kidd ran to the basket after a pick-and-roll and were interfered by Ratliff , Sliding out from the basket, Mutombo's rebound protection ability is really not good, Boozer chased Kenyon Martin back, and Ratliff interfered with Kenyon Martin's rebound and lost his position , Boozer rushed inside and grabbed a defensive rebound on Mutombo's head!

The Eagles defended twice in a row!

The Eagles strike back!

Finally, with the Nets in a chaotic position, the Eagles have a chance to fight back!

Liu Mang galloped forward, Kidd and Kittles flanked Liu Mang, and did not give Liu Mang a chance to catch the ball. Boozer really has the mentality of a star, and he did not pass it to Liu Mang regardless. Instead, he calmly passed the ball to Jason Terry. Jason Terry received the ball and advanced it to the frontcourt. He stopped at the free throw line and made a jump shot against the rushing Richard Jefferson. !

Richard Jefferson's ferocious chase knocks Jason Terry to the ground, but Jason Terry has already thrown the ball! At the same time as the referee whistled, the ball plunged into the basket!

Jets out!

Jason Terry just came up from the bench, just like Boozer, he played a key role when he came up, he didn't score, he threw the ball in, and caused Richard Jefferson to foul!

In the seventh minute, the Eagles finally had a chance to narrow the point difference to 1 point! In the past three minutes, the Nets have not scored a point!

11 to 13, Jason Terry has another free throw, which is likely to reduce the point difference to 1 point! The performance of the Nets at the start was as fierce as a tiger, and the Eagles caught up with the Eagles when they played decisively according to the established tactics and made timely and correct substitutions without interference!

Coach Byron Scott couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout!

Coach Byron Scott's head exploded, it came too suddenly! His heart is also suffering! The talent of the Nets is much different from that of the Hawks. The Nets are theoretically stronger than the Hawks, but the strength of the Nets is equal to the strength of Kidd. Without Kidd, even if there is one more Marbury Such All-Stars are at the level of the No. 1 pick. The arrival of Kidd is the only reason why the Nets can directly upgrade from the No. 1 pick to the overall runner-up level.

Except for Kidd, the Nets don't have a first-class star. Kenyon Martin only has an ability rating of 84 next to Kidd, and he only has such a performance by relying on Kidd to organize the offense.

Fortunately, the Nets have almost no first-class stars, and there are many high-quality role players. Coach Scott waved his hand and replaced Richard Jefferson with Rodney Rogers. Richard Jefferson Sen performed too poorly today. When he met Raheem, he counterattacked once on the offensive end. The defensive end was squeezed away by Raheem and the Nets were forced to double-team the defensive end and lost points several times. This time Even if Jason Terry didn't make the shot, he still rushed forward and was fouled. Even if Jason Terry didn't make the shot, there would be two free throws.

Richard Jefferson is too young. Although he has made rapid progress, he is still relying on his body to play before his skills are mature. In the future, Richard Jefferson in the period of the Three Musketeers of the Nets and the Spurs Sen is too far behind. In the future, he will be an all-around small forward with a 40% three-point shooting percentage. Now he basically has no shots. He has scored 7 three-pointers in 80 games in the regular season, and his shooting percentage is 20%. It all depends on attacking the basket. When the defense is beaten like this, it is basically a side effect on the court. Several offenses of the Eagles are opened from this point, and the defense of the Nets has also collapsed many times because of this point. .

In addition to Richard Jefferson, Mutombo was also replaced. Mutombo had a highlight in the sixth game of the last round, and now he is wilting again. On the one hand, it is because the Nets do not use the center as the core of defense. , the defensive system is not centered on Mutombo, but Kidd, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin are the defensive core combination. On the other hand, Mutombo has indeed declined too seriously. It took a long time to see that Ratliff couldn't squeeze the space, so he relied on his previous defensive deterrence to scare people, and his reaction was not as good as before. He was really old.

As for Kittles... the stability is "terrible". It's not that he doesn't work hard, but because of his interest, he hasn't improved after the suspension. He is really dedicated and hardworking, but he gets 13 or 4 every game. Points, three or four rebounds and two or three assists are already top-notch. Of course, his salary of eight or nine million is already worth the money.

The Nets can only rely on Kidd, who plays 43 minutes per game. Fortunately, Kenyon Martin has improved a lot this year and can share a lot of pressure.

Now that the official timeout has come, Byron Scott made a small prediction that the Eagles were going to change to a lineup without a center, so they put Kenyon Martin in the center position, and Aaron Williams And Kenyon - Martin partner inside, Kidd and Rusios - Harris partner back line, Rodney - Rodgers play small forward.

...

The Eagles bench, as coach Byron Scott expected, the Eagles replaced Ratliff. Why Ratliff could not become a historical defensive center, or because of physical limitations, and Mutom The physical performance of defensive pillars such as Bo and Ben Wallace when they were young is too far behind.

Of course, this made Ratliff's defensive data per 48 minutes in his peak period extremely high. Last season, he averaged 3.9 blocks in 31 minutes per game. - Wallace per 48 minutes is way too high.

But Ratliff doesn't have the physical fitness of the two when they were young. Ben Wallace averaged 39 minutes per game this year, and Mutombo, who claimed to be 36 years old last season, averaged 36 minutes per game.

When he's available, Ratliff isn't much worse than Ben Wallace and Mutombo at their peak, with the Hawks building a great defense with a great defensive assistant in Mike Woodson , but he can only last for more than 20 minutes, which is the difference between a strong defender and a great defender.

Boozer mentioned the center forward, Raheem went to power forward, Liu Mang and Jason Terry partnered at the back line, this arrangement is normal, Raheem's playing time has improved a lot in the playoffs, from 35 minutes per game in the regular season The first two rounds increased to 38 minutes. It is normal for the Eastern Conference Finals to improve a little bit, and in the first half of the first quarter, Raheem played not tired.

But there was another candidate for the forward position. Even the guy who replaced him didn't expect that he would play at this time!

Matt Barnes!

Coach Kruger replaced Barnes, who only played more than 30 games in the regular season!

The lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Raheem, Boozer is replaced!

...

The official timeout was coming to an end, and the cheerleading performances had also left. The replaced players from both teams came to the technical stage to touch chalk again.

Seeing Rodney Rogers come up, Liu Mang sighed very much, sometimes changing a team can really change a person's life.

When he was in the Suns before, Rodney Rogers played very well. When he arrived at the Celtics last year, he immediately collapsed and became the most failed robbery of the Celtics.

But coming to the Nets this year, hey, I don’t know if it’s because the Celtics and Rodney Rogers are incompatible, or whoever Kidd leads can take off. Rodgers played quite well in the second half of the season. From 6 points per game at the beginning of the season to 11 points at the end of the season, Liu Mang would have won the best sixth man if he hadn't played too badly in the early stage. Another opponent, Liu Mang and Bobby Jackson, can still have a slight advantage. If the three of them fight together, Liu Mang, who just won the best sixth man last year, may not be able to win the best sixth man. six people.

The reason why the Nets spent most of the season to get back Rodney Rogers' feeling is that they want Rodney Rogers' Kittles' ability to seriously degenerate this year-single play with the ball!

After Kittles degenerated into a shooter and before Richard Jefferson grew up, the Nets were too lacking in offensive points with the ball. The offense was a team offense. Not even a single person to open the situation.

After Rodney Rogers came to the Nets, he finally had the ball! Rodney Rogers was so excited when he was sent to the Nets for $1 million. He thought that if he finished with the Celtics with a big contract of 3.8 million in the last year, no team would want him. After all, he played too badly, but he didn't expect to come to the Nets! He won the best sixth man at the peak of his career that year when Kidd was still in the Suns.

Sure enough, after coming to the Nets, his old partner Kidd gave him enough respect and trust, and patiently waited for him to regain his senses. Now he feels like he is dreaming of being 29 years old, and his 32-year-old age does not affect him. It's not too old in terms of technical flow, and he played at the level of the year in the second half of the season.

When the Nets sent Rodney Rogers, Liu Mang knew that the Nets were going to do something!

Sure enough, after returning from the timeout, the Nets started playing from Rodney Rogers.

Jason Terry made an extra free throw first, and the Eagles were 12 to 13, with only one point left.

The Nets attacked, and Kidd didn't continue to hold the ball after advancing. He handed the ball to Rodney Rogers.

This is the biggest difference between Kidd and ordinary point guards. When he is off the ball, he can also make his own contributions, and at the same time use his off-ball actions to sort out the team's offense.

The best sixth men are all chaotic masters, Rodney Rogers' typical chaotic guards.

After coming to the Nets, he finally has the ball and can play at his own pace as he pleases. Kidd, his old partner, will sort out everything for him! Rodney Rogers was defended by Liu Mang. Rodney Rogers couldn't control who was defending him. He played quite confidently. He came up with a quick change of direction, regardless of whether he shook Liu Mang or not, and squeezed to the free throw line. On the left side, when he was suppressed by Liu Mang and deviated from the breakthrough route, he raised his head and made a fake move. He didn't shake Liu Mang, but it didn't matter. Rodney Rogers directly pulled up and made an emergency stop jumper.

"swish"

Rodney Rogers made a strong shot!

15 to 12, Rodney Rogers scored 2 points when he came up.

The Eagles attacked, Liu Mang sent the ball to Jason Terry, and Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt.

The two defensive guards of the Nets-Kidd and Harris came up, Harris came to defend Liu Mang, and Kidd defended-Jason-Terry.

Jason Terry saw that Kidd was defending, and immediately handed the ball to Liu Mang. He ran empty-handed and cut into the inside, leading Kidd away.

The Nets' defensive projection is a two-point guard duo in the Hawks' rotation, most likely giving the ball to Jason Terry, which is how the Hawks played out late in the season.

On the Eagles side, they are not sticking to the original offensive choice that Jason Terry will share the pressure of the organization when he comes up. Why bother, it is better for the two to decide who to hold the ball depending on the situation.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry have discussed who Kidd will defend and who will play off the ball.

However, Harris' defense is also very good, the kind of solid defensive three-point player who does not seek merit but seeks nothing.

Liu Mang made a gesture, Boozer came out for a pick-and-roll, Raheem fell to the low post, and Liu Mang used Boozer's pick-and-roll to easily get inside the three-point line.

The lineup of the Nets changed defenses very quickly, very quickly. Aaron Williams who came out stood in front of Liu Mang, and Liu Mang jumped up to pass the ball!

Harris and Aaron Williams pounce on Boozer, but! The goal of Liu Mang's pass was not Boozer, but Jason Terry who ran to the free throw line after Barnes' off-the-ball pick-and-roll!

Just finished throwing Boozer, seeing Jason Terry receiving the ball, Harris and Aaron Williams who were closest to him rushed towards Jason Terry again.

At this time, Liu Mang landed and bounced to the right corner. Kenyon Martin yelled, but he didn't dare to run out. Raheem and Boozer had already entered the inside lane. , Jason Terry did not choose to pass to the basket, but chose to shoot a three-pointer for Liu Mang!

Jason Terry ran to the free throw line to receive the ball. Before Harris, Aaron Williams, and Kidd came to attack, he received the ball without stopping and immediately passed it back to Liu Mang. Mang catches the ball from the right corner, which is the position. He missed a shot before, but this time he didn't hesitate at all, and he still made a decisive shot after receiving the ball!

Liu Mang wants to tie the score! Want to smooth out the disadvantages!

With Liu Mang's eager anticipation, the ball slid through a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket!

15 flats!

Finally, in the ninth minute, the Eagles finally tied the score!

Jason Terry was going to abuse the second grader again. After Liu Mang scored a goal, he spread his arms, and amidst the cheers of a few Eagles fans and the boos of most Nets fans, he was doing Jason- Terry's celebration runs back to halftime!

The Eagles are on the move! The two teams played a completely different performance from the first four minutes of the game. From the fourth minute, the defense of the two teams improved in a straight line. The opening 13 to 7 seemed to be the prelude to the offensive battle. It became a defensive confrontation. In the end, because the defense of the two teams was too strict, even if they changed to a small lineup, they couldn't fight back. Both teams deliberately suppressed the rhythm and turned into a tactical duel!

The tempo was relatively slow due to the strict defense of the two sides, but the Eagles successfully tied the score by relying on late strikes. The next two teams came and went, you hit the iron and I made a mistake, you made a three-pointer, and I dunked. After the first quarter, The Eagles and the Nets tied for 21!

...

The anxious score between the Eagles and the Nets continued in the second quarter. After both sides replaced the big center, the rhythm became slower. After Barnes came up, he actually had a miraculous effect on the defensive end. The rough defensive action It gave Harris and Kittles a huge obstacle in the rotation of shooting guards. At the same time, Barnes' rough actions drove the Eagles' defense, and the Nets' defense became stronger and stronger.

The playoffs in the Eastern Conference seem to be poisonous these years. The defensive oppression has come up, and the iron-blooded Eastern Conference has really come!

Halfway through the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were still anxious. In the half quarter, the efficiency of the two teams was outrageous. In the sixth minute of the second quarter, in the half quarter, the Eagles only scored 9 points, and the Nets scored 9 points. It only scored 7 points, full of physical confrontation and foul mistakes.

The Nets called a timeout and entered the official timeout of the second quarter. The Hawks led the Nets by two points 30 to 28.

Under such circumstances, the two teams both carried out large-scale rotations, and once again both teams put on small lineups.

The Nets sent a combination of Kidd, Kittles, Rodney Rogers, Aaron Williams, and Kenyon Martin.

For the Eagles, the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Raheem, and Muhammad played.

Now that the defense has slowed down the tempo, the two teams have no intention of raising the speed again. They are very afraid of the opponent's counterattack, so they must increase the success rate!

Kenyon Martin went to the low post to ask for the ball according to Kidd's instructions. Muhammad came up and went around to defend Kenyon Martin. Kenyon Martin couldn't catch the ball and pulled it out.

Upon seeing this, Kidd handed the ball to Rodney Rogers, and then went to give Kenyon Martin an off-ball pick-and-roll from the point guard to the power forward! Kenyon Martin took advantage of the situation and went up to block the air cut. Jason Trira couldn't hold back. Rodney Rogers, who was in possession of the ball, had been prepared, and a ground pass was sent to Kenyon Martin. Jan Martin took the ball to the basket and took off and smashed the ball into the basket.

Violent cut dunk! The Nets fans who had been suppressed for a long time finally started to cheer, 30 draws!

Liu Mang looked at the score that was finally overtaken, and was tied again. Liu Mang launched an attack from the outside, rushed to the basket in a hurry, and was slapped by Kenyon Martin for a layup, and the attack missed.

Liu Mang immediately returned to the defense with his teammates, trying to adjust his emotions, so as not to miss the defense because of an offensive mistake.

The Nets took the rebound, and when they came forward, they still found Kenyon Martin, but there was still no chance. At the same time, the Eagles showed signs of shrinking, and the Nets' outside touch was also oppressed by strong physical confrontation and defense. The outside touch began to deteriorate from the second half of the first quarter.

Kidd first asked Kittles to pick and roll for himself, and pulled out the Eagles' defense that was about to shrink. Barnes and Jason Terry quickly switched defenses. Whoever defended Kittles was the same, mainly defending him from shooting. That's it, Kittles' cut threat is pitifully small right now.

But what Kidd wants is not an open space, but to replace Barnes, and then pick and roll with Kenyon Martin, and rush into the inside with Kenyon Martin one left and one right!

Why not just pick and roll with Kenyon Martin? Kidd's head is very clear. If he picks and rolls directly with Kenyon Martin, then Jason Terry, Muhammad, and even Barnes, who was originally defending Kittles, will attack Kenyon Martin together. Kittles first picks and rolls to break the opponent's tendency to completely shrink and let Kittles participate in the offense. Even if the shot is not allowed as long as he participates, the opponent will not dare to let Kittles go.

This is the judgment of defensive reading, excellent point guards with experience and defensive reading ability.

Sure enough, after participating in the offense, Kittles pulled Jason Terry away. The Eagles were going to pick and roll, but Kidd rushed to the right at a 45-degree angle in the middle distance. This is what Kidd is best at. One of the scoring points, the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll on both sides, was the only scoring point where he shot more than 35% before he developed a three-pointer, except for a layup.

Kenyon Martin Barnes can only stand in front of Kenyon Martin. Kenyon Martin is much stronger than Barnes. On the edge of the left three-second zone, Kidd accurately delivered the ball to Kenyon Martin. Kenyon Martin faced Barnes' defense and forcibly attacked the basket with the ball. Barnes failed to defend and even fouled , The referee's whistle blew, and Kenyon Martin scored 2+1 with a throw!

Kenyon Martin's penalty was also hit!

After returning from the timeout, Kenyon Martin scored 5 points in a row! The Nets once again overtook the score, 33 to 30, and the Nets led by another three points!

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mang caused a foul by the Nets, but he only made 1 of 2 free throws when he got to the free throw line.

In a low-efficiency game, the two teams had a lot of physical contact before, and their shooting was affected.

After the Nets came over, Kidd followed the same pattern of the previous round. This time, Muhammad let go of Kidd and went to flank Kenyon Martin with Barnes. Kidd shot a mid-range jumper!

No entry!

But Kenyon Martin, who had rushed to the basket, broke out! Dash inside and dunk the ball into the hoop!

7 points in a row! Kenyon Martin scored seven points in a row!

35 to 31, the Nets led the Hawks by 4 points.

The Eagles attacked, and the double-teaming of the Nets became more and more fierce. The Nets deliberately released Barnes and defended the others with 5 defenses and 4 defenses. Barnes cut to the basket decisively, and Jason Terry put The ball was given to Barnes, and Barnes rushed to the basket to force a dunk, but Kenyon Martin went crazy, rushed in and hit Barnes, and then slapped Barnes' dunk!

The ball hits Barnes and pops out of bounds!

Kenyon Martin not only sent a block, the ball also hit Barnes and popped out of bounds, and the Nets had the ball!

If the ball counted as a block, it would be fine, but Kenyon Martin knocked Barnes off balance first before he slapped the ball!

The Eagles players quit and came up to argue with the referee, but this is the home court of the Nets, and the confrontation in the game has always been high, so they ignored it.

The game became more and more heated, Kenyon Martin still wanted to drop low and then ran out to play tactics, but this time, the man guarding him was neither Rahim nor Mohammed, but Barnes!

Barnes was knocked over just now, and he couldn't stop the fire in his heart. He wanted to face Kenyon Martin. Muhammad carried it for a long time, and Barnes wanted to come. They think this is an opportunity to change the defense. The previous hard defense was really unstoppable. Rahim went to defend Kittles and was ready to shrink at any time. Muhammad went to fight Aaron Williams fight.

Kidd saw that Kenyon Martin was about to reach his position. Although he didn't know why the Eagles' defense suddenly became so strange, an opportunity was an opportunity, and he immediately lobbed the ball to Kenyon Martin.

It’s one thing just to get past it, but you have to have enough momentum. Barnes’ role today is to use it as cannon fodder for rough defense. They all have actions. Originally, this kind of action would be called by the referee, but just now when Barnes was knocked over, he didn't call Kenyon-Martin a foul. The referee didn't call Barnes a foul this time. In this case, Kenyon -Martin's playing is very awkward!

Kenyon Martin didn't care so much, and elbowed Barnes' hand away, but the referee still didn't whistle, and Kenyon Martin slammed into the back!

Barnes was annoyed when his hand was hit, and he reached out to pat the ball that had just bounced back from Kenyon Martin's hand regardless. Luckily, he caught it! Following the movement of Kenyon Martin bumping into him, he dodged Kenyon Martin and knocked the ball off. Kenyon Martin almost fell to the ground like being removed from a chair!

Seeing Barnes pick up the dropped ball, Kenyon Martin was suddenly excited. He came up and pressed Barnes to steal it, and put a palm on Barnes' arm!

Hit Lao Tzu's hand again! Barnes had a very hot temper and went up to push Kenyon Martin. Seeing that the two were about to fight, the referee quickly separated the two.

Kenyon Martin was called for a foul, a foul for stealing, but neither of them was called for a technical foul for pushing.

Eagles possession.

Jason Terry was guarded to death, and there were a lot of people under the basket. Liu Mang had no choice but to come by himself. He fell to the middle distance and leaned against Kidd with his back.

but! Barnes worked hard! Grab an offensive rebound! When Kenyon Martin defended the past, Barnes gave Kenyon Martin an elbow, forced a layup and scored two points.

Kenyon Martin has never been a good-natured person, he has never been a good-tempered person, and it is not that he has never fought in the NBA. The rough actions of the two in the past few rounds have already made Kenyon Martin furious. Leaning towards Barnes, he made it clear that he wanted to bully Barnes with a body that was a circle bigger than Barnes. Barnes didn't want to be with him, so he pushed on Kenyon Martin, The two who had disliked each other for a long time started pushing and shoving again!

The rest of the two teams have long been unhappy with each other, and they all squeezed together.

Even if this is the playoffs, most of the time conflicts are caused by conflicts, and they are full of the feeling of big action confrontation in the 1980s and 1990s, but you can't repeat it again and again! After the referee separated the two teams, he decisively blew the whistle. It was fine to follow suit. Kenyon Martin and Barnes both received technical fouls.

Coach Byron Scott quickly replaced Kenyon Martin, and the Eagles replaced Barnes. De and Kenyon Martin identified this point of him, and used their physical advantages to keep playing, clearly bullying others.

It may be that the Nets saw that Boozer looked so scary, but he had a gentle and gentle personality. They thought that everyone in the Eagles was like this. They didn't expect Barnes' temper to be as violent as his appearance. With such an excellent defensive talent, he gave Kenyon Martin a defense, and the two were so angry that they almost fought, and both received technical fouls.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half. The two teams finished the first half with the anger already raised. The score continued to be anxious, 39 to 40, and the Eagles trailed by one point at halftime!

...

Back in the locker room, Liu Mang gave himself two primary injury potions, spending 500 superstar points to heal the bruises on his body immediately.

The pain subsided, and Liu Mang's anger subsided after half the game.

Looking at his teammates, several teammates had bruises of one kind or another during the confrontation.

This is the playoffs. Many stars have hardly been injured in the early stages of their careers, but they collapse after getting old with a serious injury? It is because of these minor injuries accumulated in normal times, one year, two years, or even five years or eight years are fine, but ten years? fifteen years?

Liu Mang spent a few primary injury potions to heal his teammates, but he didn't use superstar points to help them recover immediately. Anyway, Rahim's bruises, which he fought the most, were all healed in half an hour after using the injury potions. recover.

The game is not over yet, and there is no physical examination yet, so even if you recover quickly, it doesn't matter. Players will remember where they were hit and hurt in the first half after the game is over. As for the hurt in the second half, Liu Mang will take care of it No more, after the game I went for ice pack physiotherapy.

Watching Mike Woodson continue to emphasize defense, Liu Mang was thinking about something else.

Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson have done everything they can. If the offensive tactics cannot be used, there is no way. The defense is still very good. The Nets only scored 40 points in the half.

The playoffs of this era are like this. If you play well on defense, you will play better and better, because the head coaches of both sides will put more emphasis on defense, and then play the kind of game where the two teams may only score more than 150 points.

But this style of play made Liu Mang feel very uneasy. He was completely betting on luck, to see who could lead by three or four points in this rough defensive confrontation until the end of the game, and basically won in the end.

For example, the finals between the Pistons and Spurs in 2005 ended in this way.

In this situation, although the Eagles played well in the first half, they are not good at this style of play, and the Nets are extremely good at it! This is how they beat their opponents when they played the Celtics and Bucks.

Can't go on like this! While doing a good job in defense, open up the offense as well!

Liu Mang knew that his teammates had done a good enough job. Although Raheem reached the level of the top star of 92 in his peak period, his top star was the one with a balanced offense and defense. He could score 48 points against the 76ers. It is difficult for the Nets. Raheem has tried his best on the defensive end. If he is to remain efficient on the offensive end, then it is not Raheem, but someone who is already fishing or is very dissatisfied with himself in the early morning. Number 8 for four point training.

So I can only find a way from myself!

Liu Mang hated himself for not being strong enough!

Although distressed, Liu Mang opened the system space and looked at the star card.

Jordan, Reggie Miller, Sprewell.

Liu Mang became ruthless! If you want to play, play a big one! Get back the home court advantage!

Just to get the home field advantage!

"Michael Jordan 1984-1985 version, ability value 91, effective time for a single game."

Let’s change the remaining half first, it’s a bit too much, think about how the ending can be written better, the remaining half will be finished writing the tail tomorrow morning ~ first change the half first to avoid waiting too long, if you can think about it before 8:00 tomorrow morning Update before 8 o'clock, if you can't, you will be busy in the morning and update before 12 o'clock
