Chapter 693 692. How Can This Guy Be So Shameless! (Another Chapter of Nearly 7,000 Words, Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

Liu Mang waited to defend from outside the three-point line. Seeing Billups approaching, he beckoned and made a singles gesture. Stephen Jackson came to his best singles position at a 45-degree angle on the left to receive the ball.

Two-wing singles is Stephen Jackson's most important offensive method in the Pistons, and it is very powerful, averaging 15 points per game, ranking third in the Pistons, second only to Hamilton and Bosh.

Larry Brown on the sidelines didn't have any objections to the players playing singles. He could bear Iverson's offense back then, as long as he defended it.

It just seemed a bit unstoppable, that's why Larry Brown was so furious.

Seeing Stephen Jackson catch the ball, Liu Mang knew that the next test was for Raheem!

Stephen Jackson's singles ability is outstanding, and the pull-up three-pointers on the two wings are quite powerful. Raheem is very careful to guard Stephen Jackson's three-pointers, sticking very tightly.

With such a tight defense, Stephen Jackson has a strong body and was not forced to retreat because of this. Moreover, seeing such a large breakthrough gap, he couldn't help but cut a step, throwing Raheem away, and broke into the three-point line two step, directly pull up...

As soon as he jumped up, Stephen Jackson suddenly lost his mind. He remembered that he was going to shoot a three-pointer!

It was a great pull-up jump shot to get rid of the defense, and it has already jumped up. This distraction is a big problem!

The ball Stephen Jackson picked up and dropped! Rahim, who was chasing in, went around Stephen Jackson and stole the ball in Stephen Jackson's panic. The Eagles counterattacked!

But the reaction of the Pistons was really fast. Five people retreated quickly at the same time, sticking to and pulling the other players of the Eagles. Stephen Jackson also reacted quickly, chasing Raheem who was counterattacking with the ball. Raheem's side Unable to pass it to Liu Mang who was dragged by Billups, so he came by himself.

Raheem seldom plays singles with the ball this season. It’s not that he can’t play singles, it’s just the team’s needs. I saw that Raheem, who is 2 meters and 6108 kilograms, is like a tank. -Jackson's defensive speed has not weakened at all. After rushing to the frontcourt, he crushed Stephen Jackson and forced the basket to score two points!

17 to 9! The Eagles lead by eight points!

Being intercepted and layup through a fast break, Stephen Jackson was not a good-tempered player, and now his mentality is about to explode.

When Stephen Jackson ran to the frontcourt in silence, something that made him even more angry happened.

Liu Mang looked at Billups who had advanced to the center line and said loudly: "Hurry up! It takes eight seconds to dribble and ten seconds to reach the three-point line. If you still can't make a shot, hurry up and make a three-pointer. I want to vote too!"

Billups was stupid and didn't know how to respond, but his heart was already blown up, but he really couldn't impress Liu Mang! He can do one-on-one duels, but today he seems to have lost his three-pointers!

"You are an All-Star, you are amazing! You can shoot three-pointers, you are amazing! It seems like no one can shoot three-pointers!" Stephen Jackson also exploded!

Step by step, Liu Mang teased the Pistons' two outside players with three-point ability step by step. There was no too intense Garnett-style abuse, nor Kobe and Jordan-like harsh insults, just step by step with contempt and disdain With an attitude, step by step, slowly put the two of them in!

This time Stephen Jackson took the initiative to ask Billups for the ball, and Billups passed it immediately, Stephen Jackson also started to wave, continuously dribbling left and right, Raheem firmly blocked Stephen Jackson forward.

Mobility has never been something that Stephen Jackson is good at, and he can't shake the space. Stephen Jackson chose the usual style of play, making three-pointers!

Stephen Jackson, who was defending against Raheem, made a three-pointer backwards!

Liu Mang rushed inside the moment Stephen Jackson jumped up, Ratliff was fighting with Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace was chasing the mobile power forward Bosh, Liu Mang rushed in to receive the defensive rebound.

Liu Mang didn't struggle any more, and didn't initiate a quick movement, but steadily moved towards the frontcourt.

After reaching the frontcourt, Liu Mang didn't want to pick and roll anymore, and started to speed up his breakthrough when he crossed the center line!

Sure enough, as Liu Mang expected, as soon as he accelerated past Hamilton from the three-point line, Billups on the left immediately flanked him and flanked him with Hamilton who was chasing up behind him. This time, even Bosh came back to defend !

Three people attack! In this case... of course you have to vote!

Watching Prince and Rasheed Wallace rushing to the inside, Liu Mang defended the Los Angeles-style strong shot with three people!

Almost threw a three non-stick!

The ball only touched the edge of the basket for a while and then fell. Ben Wallace was about to collapse under the basket. Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff block Ben Wallace together, and Prince grabs an offensive rebound and then puts the basket to score two points.

Liu Mang's power-up ability learned from a man who didn't want to be named is amazing!

It was the Pistons' offense again. Finally, the Pistons' three-pointer continued. Stephen Jackson singled Raheem and scored a three-pointer.

However, Liu Mang was full of confidence under the protection of rebounds, and he was also excited. He rushed over and played a chasing three-pointer before Billups double-teamed him. Before Hamilton had time to pounce, he chased and made a three-pointer!

Score 5 three-pointers in a row!

Liu Mang made his fifth three-pointer and returned it!

As for the Pistons, they began to hit the iron continuously. Whether it was Billups or Stephen Jackson, they both hit the iron continuously, and they couldn't score a three-pointer for a long time. Pure singles, almost no pick-and-roll tactics, this is the worst part of Larry Brown's offense, of course, Larry Brown's offensive end is very poor in all aspects, this is the worst, even Billups and Hamilton The off-the-ball running and connecting offense were all researched by Billups and Hamilton looking for offensive assistants.

The core of the Pistons' ball control is Billups. From Billups' point of view, Liu Mang is "determined" to fight against the two of them, one against two. How can he possibly do so under the condition of high morale? Shouldn't fight?

So Billups has been hard steeling, but he was playing, and the first quarter was about to be over. Billups suddenly found out that they were already more than 10 points behind!

The Pistons fell into a long-term scoring drought from the outside. They only relied on Ben Wallace and Boshson to get a few points. After scoring 4 three-pointers from the outside, they never scored again!

On Liu Mang’s side, after he scored 5 three-pointers, he didn’t shoot too hard. This is the key point of his strategy. Don’t make a big difference in the number of three-pointers scored by the opponent’s two pitchers. The difference is too much The opponent gave up and wanted to give the opponent the thought of being able to catch up, so Liu Mang always maintained a three-point lead, and then started to organize the attack!

The Pistons scored 18 points after the first quarter.

Such a score is not too difficult for Pistons fans to accept. From time to time, the Pistons will score scores in the 70s to 70s, or even lower. This is very common.

However, what is not common is that the Pistons themselves only scored 18 points, while the opponent scored 30 points!

After the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 16 points and 3 assists, helping the Eagles lead the Pistons by 12 points 30-18!

The main reason lies in Liu Mang's 5 three-pointers and one free throw. When Liu Mang scored 16 points, he had already helped the Eagles gain a nearly 10-point lead.

When the first quarter was officially suspended, the Eagles replaced Prince with Jason Terry, and when Liu Mang started to organize the offense, the Pistons' defense was really good, and they restricted the Eagles very well. However, the Pistons themselves were not good at scoring, and Liu Mang made two big three-pointers from outside. If it weren't for Ben Wallace and Bosh who grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in the first quarter, Bosh made two hits, and Hamilton made one of two hits. The point difference has long been completely opened up by the Eagles!

...

"You bastards! Going for threes? I'm okay with that, but what about your defense? Throw it in the bellies of those steelworkers whores? You bastards..." Larry Brown was never What a good-tempered person treats Iverson with kind words only because of Iverson's strength, but not to other people. This kind of foul language is simply not like a university teacher can say.

Larry Brown's violent temper and vulgar language are also an important reason why he would be fired after coaching the Pistons for two years, reaching the finals for two consecutive years and winning a championship, because even the players are unwilling Do him a favor.

Everyone has a rebellious mentality. For the head coach who is in charge of the "power of life and death" in charge of the players' playing time, except for a weird guy like Sprewell, even the future James will not directly contradict the head coach. Germany's conflict with the head coach led to Byron Scott's dismissal and his own reputation.

The Pistons didn't have Sprewell's insane attributes, nor did they have the unique status of a team like James and Kidd, so they all refrained from speaking, but the grievances in their hearts grew deeper and deeper.

After scolding people, Larry Brown continued to deploy defense.

On the other side, Liu Mang was calmly listening to Coach Kruger's offensive tactics. Coach Kruger was surprised. He was going to play team basketball. Liu Mang didn't propose to play singles. It felt very strange. It's strange, but it's strange if it's strange. Play tactics honestly, maintain the point difference, and win the game steadily. This is what Coach Kruger wants.

...

After the intermission, players from both sides returned to the field. The Hawks sent Stockton, Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown.

For the Pistons, Billups, Hamilton, and Ben Wallace will of course continue to play. They are 12 points behind. They cannot rest. Ben Wallace moved to the position of power forward. Okur was sent out to play center to enhance his three-point ability. At the same time, he was replaced by another undrafted 96 golden generation. Darwin Hamm, who was once nicknamed "Evolutionary Pioneer" in college, was a brain responsible type who was undrafted in the 96th generation. A player, a future famous NBA coaching assistant, and a top student who graduated from Texas Tech University majoring in biogenetic engineering.

Larry Brown scolded and scolded, but he was still thinking about winning, didn't he want to score three points? Not enough three-point shooting ability? Then come a few more! Anyway, it's enough to prevent it.

The Eagles went first, and the number of three-pointers made by Liu Mang vs. the Pistons was 5 to 4. The Pistons seemed to believe that Liu Mang was going to compete with them on three-pointers. Yes, so put on a team defensive posture.

After receiving Stockton's serve, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt. Just as the Pistons thought, Liu Mang came over and handed the ball to Stockton.

After Liu Mang passed the ball to Stockton, he immediately cut into the inside. Hamilton followed Liu Mang closely. In terms of running ability, Hamilton did not lie to Liu Mang at all, he followed very closely.

However, in terms of chasing and defending around the pick-and-roll, Hamilton and Liu Mang are far behind! Just as Liu Mang ran to the basket, he didn't use Kwame Brown's off-ball pick-and-roll, but suddenly ran towards the right corner. Hamilton changed direction to chase, but was blocked by Prince who came in!

Darwin Hamm immediately chased after Liu Mang, but the reason why he was so good at using his head and playing well in college and still losing the selection was because his physical fitness was too ordinary. He could develop the strength to play low post and even power forward The fixed-point shooting is also very focused and does a good job, but the anti-speed players can't keep up at all!

Hamilton had to quickly bypass Prince, and together with Darwin Hamm blocked Liu Mang, blocking Liu Mang in the bottom corner.

When Liu Mang turned back and ran, Stockton had already started a pick-and-roll attack with Boozer on the other side. Billups defended Stockton really well, and he was the favorite of the second team of the All-Defensive Team. The candidate, so Stockton called Boozer to pick and roll, the two picked and split, Boozer went down to the basket, Stockton passed the ball to Prince who was free after Liu Mang blocked Hamilton , Prince took advantage of the situation and entered the basket. Okur was already at his limit holding Kwame Brown. Ben Wallace, who was chasing Boozer, had to rush to block Prince. Stockton was really different when he was there, he became very selfless, and the pass seemed to be infected by Stockton, and the pass was sent to Boozer on the other side of the three-second zone very steadily. Boozer entered the basket toughly and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

The more and more familiar and varied pick-and-roll coordination is mainly the main player in this pick-and-roll coordination, and there is no Liu Mang! As for Liu Mang's scoring ability, when the Pistons didn't get Prince, they couldn't defend one-on-one at all. Hornacek is even more terrifying!

The morale of the Pistons is gradually being wiped out!

Billups is still holding on, the game may collapse, but he has not lost the three-point duel with Liu Mang! He wants to continue! Either way he's going to win one!

Offensive and defensive transition, the Pistons attack.

Contrary to the Hawks' expectations, Billups did not continue to control the ball after advancing to the frontcourt, but gave the ball to Darwin Hamm!

The main reason is that it was Stockton who defended Darwin Hamm!

After receiving the ball, Darwin Hamm pouted his butt immediately and leaned towards Stockton. Darwin Hamm couldn't do anything else, and his static strength was excellent. He turned around and stuck Stockton beside him. Get inside!

Very good basketball IQ, very good use of his few advantages!

On the other side, Liu Mang followed Hamilton for a long time. Billups and Ben Wallace came to help Hamilton block Liu Mang. Liu Mang squeezed between the two of them and Prince went to block Hamilton. Billups retreated to the bottom line, just as Darwin Hamm broke through Stockton, and Kwame Brown, who was supposed to switch to Billups, because of the empty basket, Boozer was pulled to the right corner by Okuru Now, Kwame Brown goes up to block Darwin Hamm, Darwin Hamm passes to the left corner, Billups catches the ball and makes an open three-pointer!

Finally, after more than half a quarter of the game, Billups finally scored!

Moved!

After Billups scored a three-pointer, the score was chased to 21 to 32, still 11 points away. Billups excitedly waved his fist at Liu Mang and immediately returned to defense.

Liu Mang's attention was not on Billups, but on Darwin Hamm.

Who is this guy? Passing the ball seems to be very spiritual! But why haven't you heard of it? It is impossible for such a player with brains and skills to be so unknown!

That is to say, this guy's shortcomings must be much more than his advantages!

Like... defense? Like... personal offense?

Liu Mang received Stockton's serve, gestured towards Stockton, and then moved forward.

Billups personally came to guard Liu Wei, and Hamilton next to him also prepared to double-team Liu Wei when he arrived in the frontcourt. Billups believed that Liu Wei would definitely shoot a three-pointer. draw!

Billups confirmed this even more when he saw Stockton go to the frontcourt and run to a 45-degree angle to open up space.

As soon as Liu Mang advanced beyond the three-point line, Billups and Hamilton flanked him, and the remaining three of the Pistons made a defensive posture in the interior, ready to grab rebounds at any time.

Under the defense of the two, Liu Mang tried his best to protect the ball, jumped a step to the right, grabbed the ball after landing and jumped again!

Hamilton and Billups immediately jumped up to block the shot, but Liu Mang didn't jump up to shoot, but passed to the left!

Stockton cut a step to the middle distance of the three-point line! After Stockton received the ball, Ben Wallace immediately defended him. Stockton broke through to the left, Boozer blocked Ben Wallace, and Stockton made a mid-range shot around the pick-and-roll!

Although there were no assists, the goal was scored!

How could it be a pass?

Billups feels his IQ is suppressed!

When it came time for the Pistons to attack again, Liu Mang signaled that they should guard their own defenders, mainly chasing Hamilton and Billups, and Stockton alone would do.

Sure enough, as Liu Mang expected, although Darwin Hamm still passed Stockton with his body this time, the speed of his breakthrough after passing Stockton was not fast! The speed of 80 is not bad among amateur players, but among NBA perimeter players, it is slow!

After Stockton was passed, he chased after Darwin Hamm. Darwin Hamm failed to attract the defense, so he could only continue to rush into the inside and fly up to shoot!

This bouncing is enough, and I want to avoid Stockton's shot. As soon as I picked up the ball, Stockton, who was chasing after him, reached out and took it out!

It is worthy of being the steal king in history! Stockton found that Darwin Hamm's speed was not as fast as his 42-year-old man, so he quickly made a defensive judgment, stuck close to the opponent, and when Darwin Hamm picked up the ball for a layup, he made a precise cut. on the ball!

Steal it!

Stockton strikes back! Hit the link!

The fast break can’t be played directly, but the more experienced Stockton led the Eagles to counterattack. Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt and then waited at a 45-degree angle on the right. Stockton advanced to the frontcourt and immediately threw it to Liu. reckless.

The three members of the Pistons rushed towards Liu Mang. They thought that Liu Mang was going to shoot, but when Liu Mang caught the flank, the ball was thrown out, but it was not a shot, but a pass!

Liu Mang threw the ball to the basket, and Kwame Brown, who followed up, showed his physical fitness again. He got the ball in the air and smashed it into the basket like a monster! The whole basket is shaking!

After Darwin Hamm was seen through and defeated by Liu Mang, Billups didn't dare to pass it on to him. He knew that Darwin Hamm had a good head and good skills, but his body was too weak. He had nothing but strength. Yes, I can only fight by myself.

He threw several more three-pointers, and finally, after making four strikes, he hit another three-pointer! The Pistons have scored six three-pointers!

Billups believed that Liu Mang was going to throw a three-pointer next time, but after the Pistons attacked, Liu Mang was still playing off the ball, cut to the basket and received a pass from Stockton, causing Okur's injury. Foul go to the free throw line!

When Billups played four irons in a row, although the Pistons defended very well, the Eagles also made a mid-range shot and a layup. The score has reached 40 to 24!

Only then did Billups feel something was wrong. In the second quarter, Liu Mang didn't feel like continuing to score three-pointers at all, but used his threat of three-pointers to help his teammates organize the offense!

Only then did Billups realize that he had been tricked!

Billups still can't believe it, this is too shameless! The opponent who already has the advantage in strength still wants to play tricks! Must not be true.

When Billups came beyond the three-point line and waited for Liu Mang to make a free throw, Liu Mang turned his head and said, "Chauncey, you've been tricked again."

Seeing Liu Mang's smug smile and those frivolous words with an ending, Billups already felt something was wrong, but this time he completely collapsed!

This guy is really playing tricks on him!

How shameless! unacceptable!

Billups' fighting spirit, which was still left, collapsed because of the score and what Liu Mang did!

Apart from Billups, everyone else also heard Liu Mang's words. The team morale that Ben Wallace had maintained completely collapsed!

...

Although Liu Mang only made one of two free throws, the difference was still 17 points.

Next, the Eagles did not play any more strategies, but played steadily, maintaining a lead of about 15 points.

After the Pistons' fighting spirit collapsed, they instead had a mentality of playing blindly, holding the ball and just doing it. It really put a little pressure on the Eagles for a while, chasing the point difference to ten after halftime. Inside, at halftime, the Eagles led 54 to 45 by nine points.

However, Liu Mang and Jason Terry started the double-wave combination in the third quarter. Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff's domestically nicknamed "female love" combination rushed for rebounds, relying on Liu Mang Combined with the power of Jason Terry's sharp wave shot, in the connecting stage of the third quarter, the Eagles scored 24 to 17 in a single quarter, helping the Eagles to expand the point difference to more than 15 points again.

The fighting spirit had already collapsed, and even the courage to catch up with the Jedi's counterattack was pulled away by the Eagles again, and the Pistons did not struggle at all.

After a few minutes in the final quarter, Larry Brown's scolding didn't work, nor did Ben Wallace's morale boost. When the success disappeared, the point difference has been opened by the Eagles to more than 20 points!

88 to 67, the Eagles led the Pistons by 21 points in the fourth minute of the fourth quarter!

Larry Brown cursed his players and the Eagles angrily, replaced all the main players, and announced his surrender!

The Eagles only left Jason Terry here, and took Korver, Barnes, Muhammad, and Ostertag, who had just been traded and hadn't played, to play for a while in garbage time. Find the feeling.

After Liu Mang scored 16 points in the first quarter, he only scored 30 points in the game, but it doesn't matter, he still has 8 assists and 7 rebounds! The data of 30+8+7 is gorgeous enough!

In the end, the Eagles defeated the Pistons 98 to 80, and won all the first three games against the Pistons this season!

With 49 wins and 8 losses, the Eagles continue to triumph!

If they return to home and beat the Heat back to back, then the Eagles will become the first team to win 50 wins before March in the new century!

In addition to the gratifying record, what made Liu Mang most happy was that three-quarters of the regular season's task of suppressing the Pistons had been completed!

This puts the Eagles in sight of clearing a hurdle in the playoffs!
