Chapter 703 702. Trust
During the break, the Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Barnes, Raheem, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown's iron-blooded muscular combination.
This lineup is completely prepared for Liu Mang's defensive lineup. Rahim averaged 11 points and 13.9 rebounds per game, Muhammad averaged 5 points and 6 rebounds per game, and Kwame Brown averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds per game. , including Barnes, played 41 games and averaged 4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. Liu Mang also averaged 3.7 rebounds per game and had an all-rebound lineup.
The kings have also started to rotate. Peja continued to play without rest. He is the offensive arrow of the kings. He is the fourth scorer in the league after Liu Mang, McGrady and Kobe. He moved to the position of shooting guard. Bobby Jackson Replacing Bibby, Gerald Wallace, who was still not reused in the third grade, played in this game. In order to strengthen the team's physical fitness, the Kings only scored 13 points in the last seven minutes of the first quarter. Points, because the physical fitness was suppressed by the Eagles, so Bobby Jackson and Gerald Wallace were replaced.
Webber continued to play, and Divac replaced Brad Miller.
The intermission is over and the Kings have the ball.
Liu Mang looked at Gerald Wallace, his ability rating was as high as 80, and he averaged 2 points, 2 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.4 blocks in 7 minutes per game. This efficiency is also good enough. I really don’t understand such a physical quality A guy who is outstanding and who is desperate for even a few minutes on the court is not reused!
If it weren't for his team's too many strikers, Prince would have to play shooting guard. Liu Mang suggested that the team trade him a long time ago. This first-round pick in the same class is a real buried talent.
Seeing Bobby Jackson receiving the serve and pushing forward, Liu Mang immediately pressed up to defend, constantly oppressing his body.
Bobby Jackson, the favorite for the best sixth man, is 1.85 meters tall and has an ability rating of 77. He is good enough to serve as a substitute for the main point guard. Adelman wants to improve the physical fitness of the team to counter the suppression of the Eagles' physical fitness. , But I didn't expect that in the second year, the Eagles replaced a man with full physical fitness!
Bobby Jackson's physical fitness is not bad, but at most it is similar to Liu Mang's physical fitness. He has more explosive power, but Liu Mang's height and speed are faster. Bobby Jackson has just reached the three-point line. Mang immediately launched a dog-skin plaster-like defense.
Bobby Jackson is not the kind of organization-type backup point guard, but a scoring type. He is not good at using pick-and-rolls. He has assists and breaks through the ball. A group of physical men oppressed and defended, and Bobby Jackson had to come by himself.
Bobby Jackson rushed to the three-second zone under the pressure of Liu Mang. During the breakthrough, he looked at his teammates. He had no chance to pass the ball at all, so he could only shoot by himself.
Liu Mang didn't hesitate. He didn't think Bobby Jackson would make a stop jump shot at all. The difference in height and wingspan between the two was obvious. He didn't lose his position, so he could interfere with the opponent's stop jump shot while standing.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Liu Mang, Bobby Jackson could only lean back and make a shot.
Only then did Liu Mang jump up to interfere, and Bobby Jackson leaned back and shot almost without seeing the basket!
As expected of being the best sixth man favorite, Bobby Jackson made a close-range mid-range jumper against Liu Mang's defense!
30 to 24, the point difference came to 6 points.
Liu Mang smiled helplessly, came to the bottom line and waited for the serve.
Although the Kings do not have a single superstar, even Webber was not a superstar at his peak, but their overall strength is too strong. It is not without reason that they almost eliminated the Lakers back then, and these role players are still very young. Weber suffered serious injuries one after another, so their strength wouldn't drop that much.
The offense and defense switched, the Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.
Seeing the lineup of the Eagles, the Kings immediately judged that the one-shot, four-grab style that the Eagles occasionally used was coming again. Gerald Wallace went to defend Liu Mang, and the others began to block the Eagles. The player cuts inside for the rebound.
Liu Mang dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line and saw Gerald Wallace pressing up, with an ability rating of 80, offense 69, and defense 86. Such a 22-year-old small forward, the Kings actually used it to guard the drinking fountain! What a waste!
But even with such a little playing time, Gerald Wallace is very focused as long as he is on the court, stepping on beautiful small steps, and predicting Liu Mang's offensive choice.
With Gerald Wallace's size and mobility, Liu Mang felt really pressured by this guy's defense. This guy's defense is better than Barnes'! Both physical fitness and defensive skills should be better!
Liu Mang began to spray: "Gerald, come to our team next season! You are too wasteful in the Kings, they won't employ people!"
Gerald Wallace, who was concentrating on defending Liu Mang, didn't expect Liu Mang to say such a sentence to him suddenly, and was taken aback for a moment.
Liu Mang kept staring at Gerald Wallace, seeing that Gerald Wallace's eyes suddenly wandered, he immediately accelerated and rushed from the right side of Gerald Wallace.
Gerald Wallace reacted immediately, but the situation on the court changed in an instant, and Gerald Wallace's defense could no longer keep up with just a few tenths of a second of distraction!
Liu Mang threw off Gerald Wallace and rushed to the basket. Bobby Jackson, who was going to flank Liu Mang from the outside line, went to block Barnes from rushing for rebounds. They thought Liu Mang would definitely start with this lineup. After a few blind shots, Liu Mang is already famous for his teammate's rebounding advantage, and Liu Mang's blind shots are already very famous. He never expected that Liu Mang would break through!
And Adelman looks down on Gerald Wallace, mainly because Gerald Wallace can't pass the ball and shoot poorly. He only made one three-pointer in three years. Regardless of Adelman's eyes, Christie can become the main force because of his ability to average 10+ points per game and his passing ability to average 4+ assists per game.
Gerald Wallace's single defense ability is still trusted by his teammates, but Liu Mang gave it to him all of a sudden!
Liu Mang rushed to the basket, Kwame Brown backed away immediately, Liu Mang saw only Divac left under the basket, did not slow down, and took off towards Divac! Prepare to dunk through Divac!
Divac actually didn't back down, and even stood up one step ahead of time to block Liu Mang. Just when Liu Mang flew out and was about to collide with Divac, Liu Mang saw Divac before he felt contact. Ci fell down!
"Ding... Dive master level 5 is triggered. When the flop is in the blind spot of the referee's vision, the chance of the referee calling a penalty is greatly increased. It comes from Vlad Divac."
Just as Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket, the referee blew his whistle!
Hit someone with the ball!
Liu Mang was called for an offensive foul!
So cheap!
Liu Mang stared in astonishment at Divac, who was lying on the ground clutching his stomach, and his expression was painful as if he had been hit so hard. He didn't expect that this guy actually started flopping!
The Kings are still ahead!
Simply!
Liu Mang immediately said to the referee, "He's a flop!"
The referee ignored Liu Mang, not because he didn't know that Divac might be diving, but from his sight, Liu Mang did have contact with Divac.
Divac is too good at using this perspective to influence the referee's decisions.
The referee ignored Liu Mang's complaints. Liu Mang saw that the referee confirmed the foul and immediately felt his stomach pain go away. Divac, who got up, felt bad!
Too cheap!
The South American flopping kings in Argentina haven’t started to shine yet. The flopping masters of Pippen’s generation, namely Pippen and Divac, are getting old. Except for this guy's flopping, he didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing at other times. Relatively speaking, there are a little less flopping in the east, so Liu Wei didn't encounter many flops, and he didn't expect one to come out of nowhere!
Liu Mang returned to defense helplessly.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Kings attack, after Bobby Jackson advanced to the frontcourt, he immediately passed to Divac who mentioned the high post, Weber fell to the low post to rely on Muhammad, the two towers in the Princeton system began to organize the offense up!
The Kings continued to intersperse and move, using passes to cut the Eagles' melee defense.
When Liu Mang was chasing Peja, he was blocked by Gerald Wallace. Barnes switched defenses to chase Peja. Liu Mang ignored Gerald Wallace and bypassed Gerald- Wallace continues to chase Peja.
Peja received the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left. Seeing Barnes and Liu Mang attacking, Peja's passing ability was also very good. Lace hands.
But immediately Peja regretted it!
You might as well come by yourself! Gerald - Wallace's open two points are actually three points!
It is true that the tactics of the Kings can create a lot of open shooting opportunities. Peja and Webber are both very strong defensively, but it is not without reason that Gerald Wallace is not reused by Adelman. Adelman looks down on Jay Rad Wallace is normal, he doesn't match the Kings at all! This kind of vacancy cast a three-point stick!
The ball flew straight out of the baseline.
The ball went out of bounds, and the Eagles backcourt.
It's time for the Eagles to attack again, and the two teams are on the same page.
Gerald Wallace blocked Liu Mang's outside line, and Divac was under the basket with a posture that if you dare to come in, you will dare to fall.
Can Liu Mang bear this?
Diving? Who is afraid of whom!
Seeing that Gerald Wallace regained his concentration, it was very difficult for Liu Mang to break through and pass Gerald Wallace, so he beckoned Kwame Brown to come out for a pick-and-roll.
Kwame Brown came out to help Liu Mang block Gerald Wallace, Liu Mang cut in, and Divac followed, trying to delay Liu Mang's breakthrough.
What Liu Mang was waiting for was now! At the moment when Gerald Wallace pressed up, Liu Mang took the initiative to grab the ball and hit it! With a scream, he threw the ball towards the basket as hard as he could, and then fell backwards.
Divac's reaction was also extremely fast. As a generation of flopping masters, Divac let out a scream the moment Liu Mang hit him, and fell backwards.
The movement of the two falling down appeared almost at the same time, and the screams also appeared almost at the same time...
The referee was dumbfounded. The ball flew out and wiped the net and flew out of the baseline. The referee didn't blow the whistle for a while! After the ball hit the sponge of the basket, the referee blew his whistle.
How should this be punished?
Both Liu Mang and Divac fell to the ground, the scene was very embarrassing!
No matter which side is calling the foul, at least give a foul!
Liu Mang didn't expect Divac's reaction to be so fast. He really deserves to be a master of flopping, but his skill is still not enough! Divac didn't expect Liu Mang's foul-making action to be so realistic.
A level 5 master of Pingci and a level 5 diving master. The influence of the two on the referee's whistle was offset, so the referee did not call for a foul.
This ball is the whistle that sounds when the ball hits the sponge of the basket and goes out of bounds, that is to say, the ball is out of bounds!
The referee didn't know how to call the two fouls, so he didn't call the foul at all, because the first time he judged, he really couldn't tell who made the foul. Both Master Pengci and Master Diving made reasonable use of the rules! It doesn't matter if the referee wants to call a foul, it's all right, but if he doesn't call it, he doesn't call it, and he can't make up a foul.
It was so embarrassing when Liu Mang and Divac were helped up by their teammates!
The scene was quiet. When Divac flopped last time, the scene was booed. This time Liu Mang also flopped, but failed. The fans felt so ashamed...
Liu Mang and Divac looked at each other, both saw the "comment" in each other's eyes, and felt that the other was too cheap! He actually wanted to make a foul, completely ignoring that he was also making a foul...
Not to mention, the two of them suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other...
...
Since it was out of bounds, it is necessary to determine which side hit the ball last. The referee looked at the defense and found that Liu Mang was holding the ball and throwing the ball, then touched Divac's arm, and the ball deviated from Liu Mang's throw. The route to the basket is out of bounds.
That is to say, Divac blocked Liu Mang's shot with his arm, counted as a block, and the Eagles' frontcourt baseline ball...
Both Liu Mang and Divac began to be afraid of the opponent's diving, and the offense and defense began to normalize.
Liu Mang started to use his teammate's rebounding ability to shoot, and Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll to break through and score or distribute the ball to teammates in the air. The Kings team, Divac and Webber's high and low support teammates Princeton's tactics also began to flow normally. Peja and Bobby Jackson threw the ball as soon as they received it, no matter how many people from the opponent came over, it was more reliable than giving Gerald Wallace three shots.
I have to say that Peja and Bobby Jackson are really accurate. Divac and Webber are also high in football quotient. They not only play for their teammates, but also take advantage of the opponent's defensive changes brought about by their teammates' running positions. Create scoring opportunities for yourself.
The Eagles' attempt to rely on physical fitness to oppress the Kings didn't have any obvious effect, and the Kings' defense was not particularly good. There was no good way to face the Eagles' rogue style of play. Can block as much as possible and try to grab rebounds.
The scores of the two teams became anxious.
After the official timeout of the second quarter, the Eagles scored 16 points in more than six minutes, raising the total score to 40 points, while the Kings scored 17 points, raising the total score to 45 points.
The difference is still about 5 points.
The score continued to be anxious.
...
During the official timeout, coach Kruger wanted to make some changes to break the deadlock on the court.
Liu Mang was replaced and came to rest on the sidelines. Watching the last few minutes of the first half, Stockton and Jason Terry led Korver, Boozer, and Ostertag to go up and try to use offense. Bo, since the defense can't prevent the combination of so many stars of the Kings, let's fight for offense. The Hawks are second only to the Mavericks in scoring average this season, and they are not vegetarians.
On Adelman's side, Gerald Wallace was replaced. Since he can't defend, then use a more fierce attack! The head coach of the Western Conference is so chic and unrestrained! Coach Adelman was unwilling to go to the East as the head coach throughout his life because he was obsessed with offense.
The Kings returned Bibby and Brad Miller, two more scoring players. Divac and Gerald Wallace were replaced, and Bobby Jackson, Webber, and Peja continued to play.
Liu Mang looked at Stockton and Boozer as the core, with Korver and Jason Terry as the two major shooters, plus Ostertag, who has the highest commanding height under the basket, to support the player's style of play. The first is to give up defense and play full offense, and Korver came back almost an hour later. Driven by the better organizational skills of Stockton and Boozer, the three-pointer began to be accurate, but he still failed to gain an advantage. I can only admire the offense of the Kings!
The Kings are the only team that has not been swept by the Eagles in the regular season in the past three years, except for the Spurs and the Mavericks. Including this season, the other 26 teams have been swept by the Eagles in the past three years , Only the Kings, Spurs, and Mavericks have beaten the Eagles at least once in the past two seasons!
After halftime, the Eagles were 56 to 60, still 4 points behind the Kings!
...
During the intermission, Liu Mang watched the statistics of the first half in the locker room.
On the offensive end, apart from the first few minutes of the game, the Eagles had no problems. After Liu Mang made 1 of 8 shots in the start, he shot pretty well from behind. After halftime, he played 19 minutes and made 6 of 16 shots, scoring 17 points and 3 points. Assists, Stockton scored 6 points and 4 assists in 13 minutes and organized the offense of others. Overall, the Eagles played very well on the offensive end, with 44% of the time in the half. Shooting percentage.
The main thing is that you can't prevent it!
The rest of Prince and Rasheed Wallace have had a huge impact on the Eagles. No one can guard against Webber. Webber now looks more like an old man's style of play, which is less entertaining than before. A lot, and it seems that the sense of presence is also a lot lower, but after halftime, he still has 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Brad Miller is the most surprising. Double-double, 11 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. After Ratliff went down, the two teams played very fast, scored more goals and hit more irons, and rebounded a lot.
In addition, Bibby and Peja are both good passers, and the Kings team's offensive play with an average of 27 assists per game is indeed difficult to defend!
If Prince is here, Liu Mang and Prince can defend Bibby and Peja, Rasheed Wallace can limit Webber, Liu Mang thinks it will be much easier to play, but because there is still a month to start In the playoffs, in order to reserve physical fitness, they can only take rotations, which is also impossible.
I can only fight!
Whether it is Coach Kruger or Mike Woodson, neither of them has a very good defensive strategy. There is no problem on the offensive end. Even Liu Mang didn't have a good way, the king's style of play almost killed the peak OK combination!
...
After the start of the second half, the anxious offensive battle between the Eagles and the Kings continued.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry played wildly, and Raheem, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown continued to attack the basket and grab rebounds.
Kings once again sent the starting lineup, Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Brad - Miller's lineup.
Brad Miller, who is younger and better at shooting and rebounding, made up for Divac's aging Kings. The offense when the five tigers lineup gathered is really difficult to defend. The defensive end is not as good as it used to be, but the offense The end is really strong, the two teams can't defend each other, and the score continues to climb.
The two teams did not make substitutions in the third quarter, and even the two teams did not commit many fouls. The game went on very smoothly, with a super high score of 34 to 33.
After three quarters, the Eagles chased the score to 90-93!
The two teams scored a terrifying score!
The Eagles scored almost all of their points in the third quarter on Liu Mang and Jason Terry. The two scored 25 points together. Liu Mang scored 6 of 9 and scored 13 points. There is no good chance for three-pointers. But the CIC was accurate today. Jason Terry scored 12 points in a single quarter, and he basically had all the three-pointers. He made 3 of 6 three-pointers and scored a 2+1 throw.
The scoring on the Kings side is very average. All five players score. Whoever has a chance shoots. All five players average more than 3 assists per game. There is no solution to this passing ability!
In the fourth quarter, the tense situation remained unchanged. Indeed, the strength of the two teams was really evenly matched in terms of their lineups! The Eagles are at their best, while the Kings have fallen a lot compared to their peak, so the Eagles lack Prince and Rasheed Wallace, and the strength of the two teams is comparable.
The Kings gained a little lead by relying on the Eagles' own judgment error at the start, and kept the weak lead until the end!
With more than a minute left in the final quarter, as Peja hit the fifth three-pointer in a single game, the Kings still led by 4 points 127 to 123!
The Eagles call a timeout!
...
Liu Mang has scored 41 points! The final quarter has scored 11 points, but Peja in the regular season is really good, and he also scored 40 points quietly. His crooked mid-range and long-range shots are really good.
Except for the five-minute break in the second quarter, Liu Mang didn't rest for a second during the rest of the time, and he took several rounds of physical potions.
Try to defend as much as you can, but you can't!
However, compared to the previous two seasons, every time the Eagles met the Kings with the full main lineup, they were beaten unnecessarily. Now that they are missing two core players, they can still hold on. Liu Mang thought of this , On the contrary, I feel that my self-confidence has increased a lot!
Kill the Kings!
Liu Mang's fighting spirit is extremely high now!
This kind of strong fighting spirit has always affected his teammates. The Eagles did not collapse in front of the strong firepower of the Kings. The positive influence brought by Liu Mang is indispensable!
Still behind by 4 points, with one minute and seven seconds left, it's not like there is no chance!
Liu Mang and his teammates returned to the bench. Mike Woodson just handed out the tactical board, and Liu Mang immediately took it.
Coach Kruger touched his big forehead. He felt that his forehead seemed to be getting bigger and bigger for no reason! He felt that his hairline was a few tenths of a millimeter higher at this moment...
But now, Coach Kruger really has no good solution. His biggest advantage is similar to Zen master. If players have their own ideas for solutions, he is happy to see players solve problems by themselves. No way, he said the tactics he had thought up again, because in this game, he really couldn't think of too many ways to deal with the Kings, otherwise he wouldn't be anxious until now.
Most importantly, he believed in Liu Mang!
Liu Mang looked at Raheem. Today Raheem only rested for a few minutes, that is, in the second half of the second quarter, he took a rest for a few minutes. He scored 14 points and 22 rebounds. Raheem also worked hard today. up.
"Sharif, can you still fight?" Liu Mang stimulated Rahim's fighting spirit with a provocative tone.
Hearing Liu Mang's tone, Rahim certainly knew what Liu Mang meant. He was a threat on the court, after all, he was a first-class scorer who averaged 20+ per game for several years.
Rahim wiped his sweat, curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Music Kang, those guys are nothing worth mentioning!"
Rahim's role on the field is very important. Even if he stands still, the opponent has to be marked. His ability to cut and grab rebounds is the strongest in both teams. This year's rebounding champion is not just given .
He and Raheem are definitely going to play. Liu Mang looked at the other teammates. Jason Terry is definitely going to play. This guy made 3 of 6 three-pointers in the third quarter and 2 of 3 three-pointers in the fourth quarter. A three-pointer in the second quarter and 6 three-pointers in the game are the key to the Eagles biting the score!
At the critical moment, Ratliff must also play.
Myself, Jason Terry, Raheem, Ratliff...
Everyone was looking forward to playing at the critical moment. Seeing that Liu Mang named Jason Terry, Raheem, and Ratliff, there was still one position left, and the big insiders were looking forward to it.
On the defensive end, it is enough for Ratliff to guard the basket. The outside line is really unstoppable. After thinking about it, Liu Mang saw Korver who made a three-pointer in the second quarter and a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. Er, just him!
"Keller, come on!" Liu Mang pointed to Korver.
"Huh?" Korver never expected that he would be replaced at a critical moment!
"You can't do it? Forget it..."
"I'm going! I can do it!" Korver jumped up excitedly.
For Korver to become a great pitcher in the future, Liu Mang has always had great expectations. Although Korver performed poorly in the first quarter and only made 2 of 7 three-pointers in the game, there is nothing better than Korver at this time. I have a better choice to open up space. Stockton played for nearly 20 minutes, and he still played as the main ball handler. Don't toss him for a regular season. The future will always have to be borne by yourself. More responsibility!
After confirming the lineup, Liu Mang called several teammates who were playing together, and began to arrange the offensive play...
Hearing Liu Mang's offensive arrangement, some people were terrified, and some felt that it was too unreliable!
...
The Eagles deployed Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Korver, Raheem, and Ratliff with a lineup of one and four.
Kings side, Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Brad - Miller's starting lineup continued to play.
The physical fitness of the Kings is almost reaching its limit. Adelman, who used the main force to death, continued to display his attributes in this aspect today. Except for Brad Miller, because of the backup of Divac, he only played In the early 30 minutes, Bibby and Christie, who had Bobby Jackson as a substitute, only played 36 and 38 minutes, while the other three played more than 40 minutes!
After the timeout ended, the Eagles had the ball. After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Jason Terry.
Jason Terry trusts Liu Mang, but he is not used to playing such a tactical role. He has not been a playmaker for a long time! But after using his brain a little, he understood that Liu Mang's idea was the best choice.
Jason Terry holds the ball in the top arc, making a posture to break the offense.
Jason Terry scored 29 points today, second only to Liu Mang and Peja. His pull-up jumper and pull-up three-pointer made the Kings frightened.
Originally, Christie wanted to defend against Liu Mang, but when he saw Liu Mang passing the ball to Jason Terry, he thought that Liu Mang, who had already thrown the ball 35 times, could not keep up, so he immediately switched to Jason Terry. Compared with Liu Mang's "normal output" performance, Jason Terry's 6 three-pointers made a greater sense of threat!
Liu Mang saw that Bibby switched to him, and immediately cut to the inside. Bibby, a short point guard, really works at critical moments! Sticking to Liu Mang was not thrown away by Liu Mang.
Rahim stood up to block Bibi, and Bibi also went around nimbly.
Liu Mang continued to run, entered the basket, and caught the pick-and-roll again. Ratliff's huge body finally blocked Bibby. Liu Mang went around the baseline and freed from the left side of the basket.
When Liu Mang made an empty cut and ran back, Jason Terry's breakthrough also started. He moved towards the line that Liu Mang just cut into, forced a breakthrough, was stuck tightly by Christie, could not get rid of the defense at all, and was crushed Offline, but that's enough!
When it was a big step on the right side of the free throw line, Jason Terry saw Ratliff blocking Bibby, and immediately threw it to the left of the three-second zone, full of tacit understanding! Liu Mang just ran out to receive it!
However, the Kings obviously had targeted arrangements for Liu Mang. Peja and Webb attacked Liu Mang just as soon as he received the ball.
However, this is what Liu Mang wanted! Liu Mang immediately gave it to Korver who came to the left corner. Korver received the ball, his hands were trembling, he suppressed the mixed emotions of fear and excitement in his heart, and shot a three-pointer!
Liu Mang is full of expectations for Korver's three-pointer, but sometimes, some players have to be given time and opportunities to make mistakes. Korver's hand is still shaking when he makes a shot, and it is so crooked!
Fortunately, it was Rahim who held his breath. When Liu Mang pulled Webber out of the three-second zone, he grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked the ball into the basket!
Raheem made a second offensive dunk and scored two points, and let out a roar! 16 points and 23 rebounds! He has tried his best!
125 to 127, with two points left!
The Eagles retreated immediately. At this stage, the Eagles had the best physical strength on the court. Except for Liu Mang, it was Ratliff, so there was no problem in retreating.
After receiving the serve, Bibby advanced to the frontcourt. Raheem was at his limit for the Eagles, and the Kings were not much better. Webb was in the low post, which attracted Ratliff. Brad- Miller pulled high and brought Raheem out.
It is Bibby's current idea to use Webber's defensive restraint to make a fuss. He is not going to give the ball to Brad Miller, but he is going to do it himself! Bibby is hard at the critical moment!
But as soon as Bibby got beyond the three-point line, he saw two guys attacking him!
When Liu Mang and Jason Terry saw Bibby go beyond the three-point line, they immediately double-teamed him!
This is Liu Mang's strategy. Korver, who can run, runs after Peja. He and Jason Terry flank the key capable Bibby!
Force Bibby to pass! The biggest threat to the Kings at critical moments is Bibby with the ball.
Bibby was forced to pass the ball if he didn't want to pass. As soon as the two came up, Bibby realized that if he was surrounded by two double-teams, it would be difficult for him to pass the ball at only 1.85 meters tall. Passed the ball to Christie.
After Bibby passed the ball, Liu Mang pounced on Christie, and Jason Terry started to circle forward immediately. The rest of the Eagles also tried their best to cut off the connection between Christie and the rest of the Kings.
Christie didn't expect that he would be wide open, anyway, he is a 34% three-point shooter!
After hesitating for a while, Liu Mang had already rushed in front of him!
After Liu Mang threw himself in front of Christie, he immediately started to press the defense. At this critical moment, as long as it wasn't an excessive foul, the referee would not blow it. The peak year, physical confrontation is the main theme of this season.
It was difficult for Christie to dribble the ball, let alone grab the ball and pass it. He was terrified that Liu Mang still maintained this defensive oppression at this time!
Liu Mang ran with all his strength throughout the game, and now he still has such physical fitness!
Seeing that he was about to be intercepted and had no chance to pass the ball, Christie could only grab the ball and step back for a three-pointer to force a shot!
Under Liu Mang's interference, Christie almost missed the basket with a three-pointer this time! Ratliff's deployment at the critical moment was really useful and experienced. The main reason was that Webber, who was not too fat, stuck Webber aside and grabbed a defensive rebound!
Stop it!
31 seconds left! Two points behind!
After Ratliff grabbed the rebound, Weber hugged Ratliff directly. Weber, who is very sensitive to fouls, knew that the Kings only had two fouls in the fourth quarter, and it was not time for foul free throws, so he decisively chose a tactical foul. Stop the Eagles fast break.
Since Ratliff had the ball in his hands, it was just an ordinary foul, which did not trigger O'Neal's law, and the Eagles had the ball in the backcourt.
Liu Mang received the referee's ball, sent it to Jason Terry, and then continued to play without the ball after reaching the frontcourt.
Liu Mang wanted to come to the ball by himself, but after continuously borrowing the pick-and-roll from Raheem and Ratliff, not only Webb and Peja came to flank him, Bibby also actively circled around, and the three flanked Liu Mang. !
Liu Mang chose to trust Korver again in the pinch of the three.
Korver received a pass from Liu Mang, and this time it was a bit broken. After he hit the iron last time, he seemed to have seen his end on the bench. This time he simply thought about it. I didn't even think about it, just threw it out just like training!
There was no adjustment, but it gave Korver the feeling of catching and throwing the ball in his usual training!
Finally, Liu Mang's trust in his teammates was rewarded, and Korver hit a three-pointer at a critical moment!
128 to 127, the Eagles overtook by one point!
17 seconds left!
This time it's the Kings' turn to call a timeout!
After Korver scored, he was stunned! He looked at his hands in disbelief, and then... was pressed to the ground by a group of teammates...
...
Finally overtook the score!
Coach Kruger got the pointer again, replaced both Korver and Raheem, and then defense!
The lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Kwame Brown and Ratliff played.
Chasing and defending Peja, double-teaming Bibby's expansion defense, basket protection, and Kwame Brown's super mobility and good rebound protection ability, the Eagles sent out the existing players with decent physical fitness Best defensive lineup ever!
Back from the timeout, the Kings hit the last attack with 17 seconds left.
Bibby pressed the tempo and advanced to the frontcourt. In his opinion, he should play faster now, but the fact that his teammates can't play is a key point. Adelman wants to overwhelm the last moment before making a shot is an order that Bibby cannot defy.
Webber, Peja... Bibby found a trustworthy teammate at the critical moment, but he couldn't seem to find it!
The Kings team was indeed at the end of their battle. After Bibby pressed the rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt, he was immediately double-teamed by Liu Mang and Jason Terry. Bibby had expected this situation long ago, so he suggested Adelman to replace Teammates with physical strength play fast and are only one point behind. There is also a chance to play fast.
But Adelman trusted the main players more. After Bibby was flanked, he gave the ball to Christie. Christie had already reached the limit of his physical fitness in the struggle against Liu Mang and Jason Terry. The Kings had never encountered such anxiety in the regular season. This level of game, and the whole game is full of anxiety. It's not that they don't have lore and being lore, but they don't have this kind of game where they have to go all out from the beginning to the end, and if they are not careful, they will be overtaken.
Christie's open three-point shot was short!
Ratliff made accurate judgments at the critical moment, instead of grabbing the rebound, he shot the ball out of the three-point line. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and ran towards the frontcourt. Moved, ran out of time until there were two seconds left, and threw the ball into the air!
Finally, after a whole game, when the players of both teams were exhausted, after the only guy who could still fly ran out of time, the game was finally over!
Liu Mang scored 41 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. He believed in his teammates at critical moments, and it was rewarded! Defeated the Kings 128 to 127 at home! For the first time in three years, the regular season swept the Kings!
The Mavericks and Spurs are left, and the Hawks have been the only two teams that have not swept the regular season in the past three years!
After defeating the Kings, the Eagles' record improved to 59 wins and 9 losses! It is only one game away from the fastest 60 wins since the new century!
