Chapter 573
Even if the Philadelphia fans are very friendly to Liu Mang because of Iverson's relationship, but seeing Liu Mang playing with his own team's players like this, even if the 76ers' own fans don't like that player, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. Quite a few boos.
But what surprised Liu Mang was that the fans were not happy, and Glenn Robinson actually held back!
Simply unexpected!
Liu Mang thought that Glenn Robinson was about to lose his temper, but who would have thought that this guy would turn around and pick up the ball.
Liu Mang ran to the backcourt to defend.
Although Glenn Robinson's head is often confused and he can't see the situation clearly, he knows one thing very well, that is, if his statistics are not good this year, it is a dream to want a big contract next season. The status of the team is firmly established, and when Iverson comes back, he may have to be abandoned again.
Of course, whether he thinks he is very clear about this point is really what he thinks is also a question.
It was the 76ers' offense again, and Glenn Robinson continued to take the ball, wanting to organize the offense well and give the Eagles a good look.
However, after Liu Mang defended a wave, Raheem couldn't hold back anymore and came up to defend Glenn Robinson, and Raheem was not as "kind" as Liu Mang, or he didn't have Liu Mang's playfulness , he wants to defeat Glenn Robinson in one fell swoop and solve the game in one fell swoop!
Looking at the gestures made by Rahim, Liu Mang felt that he hadn't played enough, but he had no choice but to defend with all his strength!
In the first two rounds of defense, the rest of the Eagles were man-to-man, watching Liu Mang and Glenn Robinson one-on-one, but this time, except for Raheem who went to the top arc to defend, the other four were extremely mobile. The players are active in the position, and the defensive players are active in the defense, and they are always ready to rotate the defense and double-team to fill the position!
Glenn Robinson pushed forward, trying to organize the offense, and found that the Eagles' team defense suddenly tightened up, beckoning Mark Jackson to come out for a pick-and-roll, but it wasn't Rasheed Wallace who came out behind Mark Jackson, but It's Prince!
The Eagles directly emptied Snow, a point guard who has played more than 300 games in his career and scored more than 30 three-pointers. Rasheed Wallace was stationed at the basket, and Prince came out to defend the pick-and-roll.
After Glenn Robinson received Mark Jackson's pick-and-roll, he faced another defensive leader, and Mark Jackson wanted to use his physical strength to cut into the inside, but he couldn't do it. It didn't work at all!
No room to break through, no chance to shoot!
For the first time, Glenn Robinson felt that these two former teammates were so strong!
Prince's defense did not have Liu Mang's rough moves, but Glenn Robinson felt that neither the breakthrough nor the shooting was all shrouded in Prince's defense!
Glenn Robinson changed direction continuously, but he couldn't get rid of Prince. His speed is far less than before. Let alone trying to get rid of Liu Mang by changing direction, even Prince couldn't get rid of Prince. Glenn Robinson was caught off guard and posted it, forcing Glenn Robinson to stop the ball!
At this time, the rest of the Eagles were tightly stuck to the rest of the 76ers and did not give them a chance to catch the ball. Glenn Robinson had already dribbled for more than ten seconds. Seeing that the 24-second attack time was coming, he faked Prince, Prince doesn't care too much. Prince's height and wingspan advantage is too obvious. He can interfere with him by extending his hand, and he is very clear in his head that the opponent's shooting accuracy is average. The key is that he is very clear that Glenn Robinson cannot shoot The ball is gone, just raise your hand to block Glenn Robinson's shooting angle.
Glenn Robinson couldn't pass the ball, Snow came up to respond, but Liu Mang, who was stretched out, stuck tightly to him. Glenn Robinson saw that the 24-second attack time was about to pass, so he had to forcefully take off He throws the ball up.
Three do not stick!
This is pure blind casting!
Rasheed Wallace and Mohamed got stuck, and Raheem received a defensive rebound.
Fight back!
Liu Mang and Prince, who were defending against Snow and Glenn Robinson from the top arc, immediately went down after Glenn Robinson threw the ball. Raheem made a long pass to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang attracted Snow who was back on defense. With Glenn Robinson's defense, Prince slowed down and stopped outside the three-point line. Liu Mang passed back to Prince, and Prince caught the ball and made a three-pointer!
The cavalry company is dispatched again!
...
If Glenn Robinson wants to collapse, Liu Mang competes with him one-on-one. Even if it is humiliation, it is difficult for Glenn Robinson to collapse. It is not once or twice that he was beaten by Kobe, McGrady and others. In the 1990s Being abused by veteran superstars such as Jordan and Drexler because of salary issues was a common thing at that time, especially when encountering players like Kobe and Jordan who are dominant on both offense and defense. There are too many times of abuse, and I have psychological resistance.
However, when he held back his anger and realized that he could not even fight against Liu Mang in one-on-one, and wanted to organize the offense well, revive the team, and play with the team, he realized that he wanted to organize the offense well When everything is difficult, the problem is big!
Glenn Robinson is very confident in himself. Of course, this is due to his strength. He has good strength, mainly because of his talent. In the 2001 playoffs, he played well for a while, and Ray Allen and Cassell led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, and only lost to Iverson's 76ers in the tiebreaker, which proved that he is strong enough.
Glenn Robinson has always been very confident in himself, but after such a peak, he was too lazy to play well, scoring 20 points per game, maintaining people's impression of his All-Star ability, and getting a big contract.
But who knows that he has been dumped by several teams in the past two years, and finally dumped to the 76ers who are going to be bad.
But he is very confident in himself, this year is to play a good year in the 76ers, lead the team to victory, get a big contract, it is best to snatch Iverson's position.
In the first half of the first quarter, Glenn Robinson found himself forced to play singles. It is true that he is still very good in singles. After playing a few rounds, he adapted to the singles of Prince, Liu Mang, and Raheem. In defense, his efficiency began to improve a bit, and he could always hit a lot of shots.
However, now Glenn Robinson really wants to organize an offense, but he can't organize an offense. He wants to pick and roll, and the Eagles will switch to an outside defense to force him to play singles, or he will attack with the ball, or he will not catch the ball .
After Liu Mang defended against a forced shot and a steal at the beginning, Glenn Robinson wanted to organize the offense well, but found that he had the organizational ability that he thought he had but he just didn't want to use it. Not as good as I imagined!
In the past, he had two All-Stars, Ray Allen, and offensive outside teammates. The opponents did not dare to focus on him. To be honest, he was the three Musketeers of the Bucks. , is the weakest one, and the opposing team's perimeter defenses against him are often not the best defenders, so he can organize decently.
But this time he encountered three outsiders targeting him from the Eagles. His teammates were far inferior to Cassell and Ray Allen.
Glenn Robinson's self-awareness is that he is a superstar with a maximum salary, but others can't understand him. After playing for a quarter of the game, he began to doubt his life, and began to doubt whether he was as good as he thought he was before. good.
After the first quarter, the Eagles scored 29 to 14 in a single quarter. Even if Glenn Robinson was not holding the ball, the 76ers’ offense was not bad. Well, the 76ers who are doing badly this year are completely unable to compete.
After the intermission, the Eagles sent a combination of Stockton, Jason Terry, Barnes, Boozer, and Kwame Brown.
For the 76ers, Glenn Robinson only played one quarter, scored 5 points on 2 of 9 shots, plus three turnovers and 1 assist. The interim head coach, Reddy Als, still sent Glenn Robinson to lead the team, and then replaced him with a group of teammates who were worse than when he started.
Reddy Ars's task this year is not good, otherwise he would have no chance to become the head coach of the NBA. As for whether Glenn Robinson will be hit and lose confidence, Reddy Ars can't control it, Glenn -Robinson was not originally a part of the 76ers plan, but this is an expiring contract.
After the start of the second quarter, Glenn Robinson regained his strength. Seeing that the opponent was a substitute lineup, and Stockton, who was in his 40s, led the team, he felt that it was time to start.
Then encountered Barnes's brutal defense.
Barnes' defensive skills are still immature, but his actions are rough. Although he paid for several fouls, he was fouled three times by Glenn Robinson in more than half a quarter.
However, Barnes' rough action also made Glenn Robinson irritated. When Glenn Robinson tried hard to endure the irritability, Liu Mang and Raheem were both replaced. Liu Mang and Barnes , Raheem, without the relatively "moderate" Prince, Glenn Robinson's life is even more difficult...
At the end of the half, the Eagles led 61 to 39 by 22 points, crushing their strength.
The 76ers have sold all capable players who could be sold this year in order to be a poor player. The remaining Snow and Aaron McGee are all players with big contracts who reached the finals and signed them. Pointing to Iverson's poor performance this year due to his injury, and choosing another core-level player, it is really not the Eagles' opponent.
Liu Mang made all 4 shots in the first half, made 2 of 2 three-pointers, and made two free throws. He scored 12 points and 6 assists, one point more than Glenn Robinson who threw 16 times in the half. , Glenn Robinson scored 10 points, 2 assists and 7 turnovers in 4 of 16.
The consensus among the Eagles' own players is right -- you can't mess with your own team's hooligans.
When Glenn Robinson was about to collapse, Liu Mang added fuel to the fire.
At the end of the halftime, Glenn Robinson was about to leave the field. Liu Mang walked past Glenn Robinson and whispered, "I envy my teammates. Originally, these are your teammates too, but Not anymore."
At the beginning, Liu Mang taunted Glenn Robinson in their offensive and defensive confrontation, but Glenn Robinson didn't feel hurt, just angry, and more motivated to play hard.
But Liu Mang's words really hurt my heart!
In fact, Liu Mang just wanted to stimulate Glenn Robinson again. Unexpectedly, when he was walking towards the player tunnel after the stimulation, the system prompt came.
"Ding... Glenn Robinson's revenge has been completed, and the host has been rewarded with 2,000 star points."
