Chapter 657: 656. New Jersey Raptors

After ten games, the Eagles return to the starting five!

The starting combination of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff debuted.

On the Nets side, after trading Kenyon Martin, they used their 2005 second-round pick to trade for Clifford Robinson of the Warriors, and took Clifford Robinson's big contract to supplement the inside manpower insufficient.

The Nets sent Kidd, Carter, Richard - Jefferson, Clifford - Robinson, Jason - Collins starting lineup.

The Nets are terribly strong outside, but there are two players with less than 70 ratings inside. Jason Collins is a meat shield center. With a three-year pension contract of 16 million, he is almost 39 years old, as people expected, and his state will collapse after taking a big contract, but the Nets are really short of manpower inside, so it seems reasonable to trade Clifford Robinson back. It is not possible to return to a strong team to play again. Unfortunately, age is irreversible. Even with Kidd, Clifford Robinson's statistics after coming to the Nets are only 6 points and 3 rebounds. It's defense, you can only rely on the remaining power of the past to deter the opponent.

Since the two teams had just had a fight on the 1st of this month, which also led to a ten-game suspension for Rasheed Wallace, the number of security guards at the Eagles' home court has increased significantly.

And this battle of focus, many fans are paying attention. The TV station is eager to make troubles during the game, so that they can get attention. The league is also reluctant to have such a high-focus game without a live broadcast, so the Eagles can only increase security at home. The number of personnel to solve unexpected problems.

The starting players of the two teams came to the court and stood up. Liu Mang waited for Rasheed Wallace and Jason Collins to jump the ball. He had already seen the Nets directly making defensive moves. In order to guard against himself Liu Mang didn't do those useless things.

Without any suspense, Rasheed Wallace easily won the jump ball from Jason Collins, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.

Richard Jefferson saw Liu Mang advancing, and immediately rushed forward to press the defense.

Liu Mang raised his left arm to separate space from Richard Jefferson to avoid being intercepted, and he did not rush to attack because Richard Jefferson oppressed the breakthrough space exposed by the defense.

So obvious!

The Nets have no inside line at all now. It is clear that they want to use the oppressive defense to force Liu Mang to make quick offensive choices and increase the rhythm, but Liu Mang is not fooled and plays steadily.

Richard Jefferson kept oppressing Liu Mang's body, but he didn't dare to reach out for the ball. He was afraid of being fouled by Liu Mang, so he didn't have a substantial oppressive effect on Liu Mang. Liu Mang used his arm to fight Richard- Jefferson separated a little space, and the effect of the iron elbow skill made Liu Mang's arms very powerful, which has great effects in all aspects.

Seeing that his teammates were positioned according to the established tactics, Ratliff was on the left edge of the three-second zone near the baseline, and Rasheed Wallace was at the junction of the high and low positions on the left side of the three-second zone. The space on the side is opened, Prince goes to the bottom corner on the left, and Raheem opens the space in the middle distance on the right.

After his teammates settled into the offensive position, Liu Mang took a step back, lowered his waist, and made a posture to break through.

Seeing that Liu Mang was not disturbed by his oppressive defense, nor did he attack early because of the breakthrough space he exposed, Richard Jefferson had no choice. Can retreat to the three-point line, open up space with Liu Mang, and try to defend Liu Mang at the three-point line.

Liu Mang looked at Richard Jefferson who was retreating into the three-point line, looked at the distance between himself and the three-point line, laughed, and suddenly grabbed the ball...

Richard Jefferson, who had been staring at Liu Mang, saw Liu Mang suddenly showing a sinister smile, screamed badly, and rushed forward.

But Liu Mangmao grabbed the ball and jumped too fast when he slapped it down and the ball bounced back. When Richard Jefferson pounced on him, he had already thrown the ball!

The king of dry drawing triggers at level 5!

Liu Mang's three-point shot was not affected by the lack of shooting rhythm, nor was it disturbed by the rushing Richard Jefferson. It was a perfect shot!

With smooth movement transitions and standard shooting movements, Liu Mang competed with Kobe and Tracy McGrady for the title of "Picturesque".

It's just...it's picturesque...it wouldn't be called picturesque...

Liu Mang's three-point shot was smooth and beautiful, and he was not affected by the opponent's interference or his own rhythm, but he shot it crookedly, so there was nothing he could do.

Richard Jefferson didn't disturb Liu Mang by pounced on him. He turned his head to watch the ball fly out in despair, and then despair turned into surprise. The flight path of the ball was a bit crooked!

The ball bounced high on the left side of the basket. Richard Jefferson was about to breathe a sigh of relief and was about to make a fast break, but... the basket became chaotic!

Although Clifford Robinson and Jason Collins have the advantage of standing closer to the basket, Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff have already started to fight with Klee from the moment Liu Mang made a direct three-pointer. Ford - Robin, Jason - Collins wrestling together, competing for the position of the basket, Raheem also squeezed Carter rushed inside.

The inside line started hand-to-hand combat!

After the ball bounced and fell, the six people under the basket didn't know whose hand touched the ball first, but they couldn't hold it firmly, and were stabbed by the other, and then the ball was tapped several times in the air, and finally Lashi Tom pokes out of bounds.

There were constant exclamations at the beginning of the game. There was such an exciting fight at the beginning of the game. The inside line was completely like a fight. The referee almost blew his whistle in fright, and the security guards who had already been on guard almost rushed in.

Fortunately, there are no movements aimed at people, and they are all allowed within the rules to block positions. It's just that the movements are a bit bigger, but they are all directed at the ball.

It is a pity that the Hawks did not make up the ball in the three frontcourts, but Liu Mang and Prince have retreated to prevent the ball from being grabbed by the Nets and counterattacking.

The referee judges the Nets baseline ball.

The three frontcourts of the Eagles could only retreat. Liu Mang gave them high-fives one by one from the top arc. Although he failed to score the ball, it was mainly because he missed the shot. Varsity fast break.

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the initiation and handed the ball to Carter at a 45-degree angle. Carter attacked with the ball on the street, and Prince defended in front of Carter.

Although the Nets have a lot of internal problems in this lineup, their outside offense is indeed fierce. Clifford Robinson and Jason Collins are 2.08 meters and 2.13 meters, the height of the basket is no problem, and the tonnage is also sufficient , The hand-to-hand combat under the basket is very good, but it is just impossible to defend against it. Although Clifford Robinson is much better than Kenyon Martin in his career, the gap between Clifford Robinson and Kenyon Martin is too big now, it is impossible Play the role of Kenyon Martin.

But the Nets' offensive end is better than before. After all, with Carter, their breakthroughs and points from the three outside lines are terrible.

Prince defends against Carter alone, and the pressure is still a bit high. This is one of the best swingmen in the league. When Prince is afraid of Carter's breakthrough, Carter suddenly pulls up a three-pointer like Liu Mang!

Prince didn't expect that Carter would shoot directly with his height and wingspan advantage!

Also in a hasty shot, Carter hit the front of the basket with a three-pointer and bounced in the direction of the top arc. Liu Mang, who was following Richard Jefferson's off-ball pick-and-roll at the top arc, heard the sound of iron strikes and turned his head. At first glance, a ball just flew in front of him, and he subconsciously hugged the ball to protect it, avoiding being snatched by Kidd and Richard Jefferson.

Liu Mang's first reaction was to counterattack. He turned around and his legs tensed up to speed up, but he suddenly stopped the idea of ​​counterattack and scored, but he held the ball behind his back to guard against Kidd and Richard Jay. Forson's steal, he waited for his teammates and opponents to run forward before slowly pushing the ball forward.

Carter, Richard - Jefferson so depressed!

Regardless of whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, if you want to speed up the pace, Liu Mang just won't be fooled!

How could Liu Mang fail to see what the Nets' three perimeter players were thinking?

Don't you just want to play a connecting paragraph?

The Nets have made it clear that they want to use some defensive and offensive mistakes that seem to be mistakes to speed up Liu Mang. Their three outside lines can run and play. The offensive combination of Richard Jefferson and Carter, More points than Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin and Kittles!

The Nets want the Eagles to counterattack, and then the Nets use the Eagles to counterattack and then the defense is not stable, and then the Eagles counterattack, and the Nets are obviously more proficient in this style of play. Although the Eagles have cavalry Tactics, but mainly defensive counterattacks, not this type of play that is getting more and more defenseless and closer to running and bombing.

The current Nets are really looking more and more like a poor man's version of the running and bombing team. Their lineup is obviously the original lineup of the 2004-2005 season. That year, their lineup met Wade and O'Neal in the playoffs. Heat, the two teams averaged 110 points per game...

Don't be fooled!

Liu Mang fought steadily, and the Eagles became the first team to lower the tempo in this game.

After an unreliable three-pointer in the opening game, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and waited for his teammates to take their positions before starting to play hard.

Liu Mang chose to break through on the right!

Richard Jefferson's defense is really good, sticking tightly next to Liu Mang, Liu Mang suddenly took a step inside the free throw line, suddenly grabbed the ball and took a step forward, as if to shoot directly, the ball was lifted up.

Richard Jefferson knows this old opponent very well, and knows that the opponent may be a fake move. Liu Mang's one-handed ball fake move is already very famous, and he is regarded as McGrady who is ten centimeters shorter. Mang definitely took a step shot directly, and Liu Mang's step shot is also known as Iverson who is ten centimeters taller...

Richard Jefferson threw the ball when Liu Mang stepped out to hold the ball up. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and took it back. He slowly changed direction and stepped into the three-second zone, and jumped towards the basket. .

Both Jason Collins and Clifford Robinson shrunk in when Liu Mang changed direction, and rushed towards Liu Mang to block the shot when Liu Mang jumped up. Liu Mang was already on the third step, what to do next It's all about walking.

However, when Liu Mang jumped towards the basket, he jumped out of the bottom line!

Rasheed Wallace stepped into the basket from the left side of the basket, separated Clifford Robinson who threw it, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

no-look-pass! And it's a pass through the crotch!

When he jumped up, he slapped the ball under the crotch, from the crotch of himself and Clifford Robinson to the middle, and Rasheed Wallace cut in and caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

After scoring the goal, the Eagles returned to defense immediately, without celebrating, just to suppress the rhythm.

In the attack just now, Liu Mang took 10 seconds to break through. When Rasheed Wallace dunked the ball, there were only 5 seconds left, which pulled the rhythm very low!

It is to fight positional warfare.

The Nets continued to try to play fast and speed up in the next two rounds, but this style of play led to extremely low offensive efficiency! And the Eagles just don't want to be fooled, they just want to grind their positions slowly.

The Eagles' positional battle is also excellent, especially with Rasheed Wallace who can open up space and dunk dunks. The offensive efficiency is good. The Nets failed to score in 4 consecutive offenses.

The Hawks have too much advantage at the basket. Although the Nets are desperately trying to hold the defensive rebounds, when the Hawks can't score and have no chance to grab offensive rebounds, they often hit the ball directly out of the baseline and don't give it to the basket. The Nets had no chance to counterattack. Ratliff, who had already controlled the fouls well and didn't have much playing time, directly hugged Jason Collins for a tactical foul to prevent the opponent from fast break.

There is no other way, seeing Liu Mang attracting Carter's double-team after the breakthrough and passing it to Raheem, Raheem made a mid-range shot. After the Hawks scored 6 points, the Nets could only follow the Hawks. Walk according to the rhythm and land on the ground.

The opening was opened by 6 points, and the Nets could only play positions.

The Nets can actually play in position, but there is no chance of winning. The Eagles have too much advantage at the basket. The position is slowly grinding away. The Nets have no chance of winning at all, but things have come to this point, and they can only grind. beat.

The Nets can only use the regular style of play of ordinary teams, Kidd's pick-and-roll jumper and open three-pointer, Carter's breakthrough point, Richard Jefferson's air cut to meet Carter and the corner three-pointer , After being beaten 6-0 by the Nets, they finally started to score. The Big Three outside the Nets are really good, especially Carter. One of the few players in the league who can score 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs was still defeated by the peak 76ers, which shows his strength.

Relying on breakthrough points and scoring with others, the Nets' scoring began to rise.

Among active players, Carter is the only one who can get 50+ points in both the regular season and the playoffs. It’s just that he usually doesn’t focus on how to win. He only focuses on it in the playoffs. But he doesn't have many chances to play in the playoffs, but this year, Carter knows he has to play well. First of all, he has to slap the Raptors management in the face to prove that he is still the league's top star, and partner with Kidd, There is a chance for a championship, who doesn't want a championship.

But Carter's offensive end is very good, perhaps because his physical fitness has not declined. His physical fitness is too good, but the defensive end is indeed quite lazy, so he wants to make up for defense and block shots.

Liu Mang made consecutive breakthroughs in the positional battle, and Carter wanted to block Liu Mang's rhythmic breakthroughs.

Raheem got shots from the same position in a row. In the first quarter, he took 7 shots at a point on the right side of the three-second zone, and made 5 shots!

Moreover, although Carter's breakthrough points are powerful, they are mainly passed to the outside line. The outside line's shooting rate is high, and Kidd's open three-pointers are getting better and better. Especially after Carter came, Kidd encountered more and more defenses from the outside line. Few, the open three-point shooting rate is as high as 37%!

Not to mention Richard Jefferson, this year is a transformation compared to last year. The second Carter title is not for nothing, and the three-point cut is awesome!

Compared with the outside line, the Nets' offensive inside line is just a decoration, and Ratliff can crush them to death by himself.

After Rasheed Wallace started defending against Richard Jefferson's air cut, Carter's offense began to be hindered. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles still led by 5 points 27 to 22!

In this kind of positional battle, Kidd completely lost the advantage of instigating the two-wing counterattack, and became a pure pitcher!

The Nets seem to have become the New Jersey Raptors!

...

Guaranteed monthly pass
