Chapter 847 846. Use the Ultimate Move!

There are three head coaches in the NBA who are good at calling a timeout when there is a disagreement. One is Popovich, one is Nelson, and the other is the Hawks.

Coach Kruger was not idle during the timeout called by Liu Mang. He sent Muhammad to take a few minutes to let Kwame Brown take a break.

Kwame Brown was also tired from playing. Not only did he keep fighting with Dampier, but he also had to be ready to make up for the defense at any time. The key was that the make-up defense did not play any role, but he had to make up for the defense.

The Mavericks' game pace was not fast. They only took 81 shots per game, 7 fewer than the Suns, 5 fewer than the Hawks' season average, and 3 fewer than the Kings. However, they averaged 103 points per game, ranking fourth in the league. The Kings took 3 more shots than the Mavericks, but only scored 0.6 more points. The Mavericks' scoring efficiency per 100 possessions ranked first in the league, and they were indeed difficult to defend.

Iguodala was also substituted in to let McGrady take a break. Liu Mang is very efficient in singles now. He helped the team score 7 points in a row. For singles tactics, McGrady and Liu Mang are enough. The others are just to open up space and grab rebounds.

After the timeout, the Hawks attacked. Liu Mang continued to maintain efficient singles performance. The task of this quarter has been completed. Liu Mang's singles are more casual. With Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Muhammad, Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt and tricked Harris into retreating suddenly. Liu Mang bounced to the right rear and shot with a step back!

After two consecutive mid-range shots, Liu Mang scored again in the third shot!

Liu Mang has become more and more proficient in finding the shooting feel after continuous shots learned from Kobe's star card.

Kobe's Kobe time, system dataization is a skill for Liu Mang, but Kobe himself is the kind of method to maintain the feel, and he can't stop it once he shoots!

Liu Mang only experienced that skill for a while, but he also learned a little bit from the feeling of remembering it.

To put it simply, it is to shoot with confidence!

It is so tough!

25-all! The score has been tense.

Nowitzki also continued to play singles. The Mavericks' tactic is whoever is in good singles will play singles, and Nowitzki is often the best in singles.

However, this time Nowitzki held the ball and shook it, lowered his shoulder to hit Josh Smith, and played the three-threat for several seconds. Josh Smith just didn't jump or press up, so Nowitzki had a way, forced to break through to the mid-range, and shot a jump shot!

It was almost because of the feel of the first quarter. Nowitzki was forced to shoot with his body tilted by Josh Smith's terrible bounce.

It was the Hawks' turn to attack again. Liu Mang just broke through, and Finley came over to double-team him. He would rather let Liu Mang pass the ball to his teammates for open shots than give Liu Mang a chance to play singles.

Liu Mang's singles hit rate is higher than his teammates' open shots!

Fortunately, Iguodala had a good touch today and made a three-pointer after receiving the pass from Liu Mang.

28 to 27, the Hawks took the lead.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack again. This time, Nowitzki missed the shot and was grabbed by Muhammad for the defensive rebound.

It has to be said that talent means you can do whatever you want. Although Josh Smith still couldn't defend Nowitzki, he made Nowitzki's smooth rhythm not so smooth. Nowitzki's second iron shot finally came in the first quarter.

But the Mavericks have too many stars who are good at singles. Nowitzki is not a ball possession black hole. When he finds that his condition is not good, he immediately gives it to his teammates for singles. He keeps shooting when he is not in good condition, usually when his teammates are in worse condition than him.

Nowitzki gave the ball to Finley. Michael Finley was Jordan's successor!

Josh Howard was defeated by Prince, and Finley played against Iguodala, a talented rookie, and he was still at ease. He was talented, but too young. In the last minute, Iguodala was fouled twice by Finley.

Fortunately, Liu Mang attracted enough double-teaming in his singles. He passed the ball quickly and accurately. After receiving the ball, Iguodala did not just shoot blindly, but had his own ideas and rushed to the inside, making up for the defense. He rushed to the basket and attracted Dampier to make up for the defense and passed to Muhammad. Muhammad scored 4 points at the end of the quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 13 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, but the Hawks only led the Mavericks by 1 point with 32 to 31!

The game was tense and exciting, and both teams played too smoothly!

…

The tense game continued. In the second quarter, the two teams continued to fight each other. Liu Mang played after McGrady, McGrady played after Jason Terry, and Jason Terry played after Liu Mang…

The Hawks' open shots were very good today. The coaching staff had targeted training yesterday. Liu Mang also called several teammates who shot a lot to practice. They were all in good shape today.

On the Mavericks side, Finley, Stackhouse, Nowitzki, and Daniels took turns. When the defense was too strong, they would switch players to play singles. There was always a chance for one person. In comparison, the Mavericks' singles tactics were too experienced. When only Nowitzki could hold off one of Liu Mang and McGrady, and the other of Liu Mang, McGrady, and Jason Terry were not able to compete with the other Mavericks in singles, the Mavericks relied on this more familiar tactic of multiple people alternating singles to compete with the powerful firepower of Liu Mang, McGrady, and Jason Terry. As the game progressed, the Mavericks, who were more adapted to this style of play, even had a slight advantage.

Not everyone has a heart as ruthless as the little blacksmith, nor does anyone have a whistle as favored as Wade's. Liu Mang has enough whistles, but they are no match for Wade.

At the end of the half, Liu Mang had already scored 26 points, and also scored 13 points in the second quarter. Tracy McGrady also scored 7 points and 3 assists in the second quarter, and Jason Terry scored 5 points, but the Eagles But in the second quarter, they scored 3 points less than the opponent.

At the end of halftime, the Eagles trailed the Mavericks by two points, 67-69!

Fortunately, the crazy Kwame Brown grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in the second quarter, and three of them were directly converted into points. The Eagles were really tough here!

…

…

At halftime, in the Hawks locker room, Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry and Tracy McGrady, both of whom were confused.

Liu Mang believes in his teammates and the defense of Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace, but Nowitzki's touch is on fire today. Guard Rasheed Wallace. He can't guard the shot. Josh - Smith...is too young and has all the physical conditions to guard Nowitzki, but he is too young and can at most interfere with Nowitzki's rhythm.

They relied on this unlimited singles tactic to dominate the league and become one of the top four in the Western Conference. Liu Mang found that simply fighting in singles was a bit too tough, so he could only use more tricks!

Jason Terry and McGrady were looking at each other. McGrady didn't know what Liu Mang was thinking, but Jason Terry found something and asked, "Ace, what can I do?"

"Yeah!" Liu Mang was ready to give it a try to see if it worked. He responded and went to find Coach Kruger.

Coach Kruger was scrutinizing the tactical board with Mike Woodson. He really couldn't think of how to solve the problem of the Mavericks. The Spurs, Timberwolves, and Pacers have an advantage over the Mavericks because of Duncan and Garner. T-Artest! No matter how good Rasheed Wallace's defense is, he is far behind these three. Rasheed Wallace can put pressure on Nowitzki and force Nowitzki to make various difficult shots. This is already the limit. Nowitzki has reached his peak in face-up singles. He was well prepared to fight Rasheed Wallace because of old grudges. His defense against Rasheed Wallace was already well prepared. The defense is fundamentally passive, and Rasheed Wallace was really beaten by Nowitzki in this game.

If the Mavericks' five-man singles tactics were so easy to solve, there would not be the original 2006 Mavericks trip to the Finals. After Daniels and Josh Howard became more mature, this style of play would be almost unsolvable, and in 2006 If it weren't for Wade's hairy whistle that prevented the Mavericks from making any big moves during double-team rotations, and Wade used free throws and mid-range shots to kill him, the Mavericks would have succeeded in the five-man singles game.

Just when Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson were having headaches, they saw a man with twinkling eyes coming.

"The tactical board can't be saved!" Coach Kruger didn't know whether he should be happy at this time or feel sorry for himself...

…

…

"Is this what Ace said?" McGrady looked at Nowitzki next to him, his head getting big.

But what can be done? We can only bite the bullet!

Jason Terry didn't care at all, waiting for Stackhouse to advance.

In the third quarter, the Eagles sent out a magical lineup, Jason Terry, Liu Mang, Prince, McGrady, and Kwame Brown!

Just so strong! One big and four little ones! And it's a super senior and four juniors, McGrady plays power forward against Nowitzki!

The Mavericks sent out a lineup of Stackhouse, Finley, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Dampier. Originally, because Harris was guarded by Liu Mang, they simply didn't want a point guard.

Who knew the Eagles would field such a small lineup over there.

That's right, Liu Mang's solution is to let Tracy McGrady fight with Nowitzki!

After Stackhouse advanced, Jason Terry immediately rushed forward to defend.

Not to mention the defensive effect, Jason Terry has always had a good attitude and is very upright when he comes up.

Stackhouse has gone through a lot of hardships over the past few years. He has lost the arrogance he had during the Pistons. When he saw McGrady in front of Nowitzki, he immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki. He felt that Nowitzki was Baseball can kill Tracy McGrady with a direct shot.

Nowitzki himself thought so, so he was shocked when he saw Tracy McGrady guarding him, and then became ecstatic. When Stackhouse came over, he immediately asked for the ball.

But after receiving the ball, Nowitzki discovered that was not the case!

When Nowitzki received the ball and faced Tracy McGrady, he felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort. Breakthrough? almost impossible.

Hold the ball and swing it in the air, and people will raise their arms, waiting for you to jump!

A very uncomfortable feeling. Nowitzki feels weird. Even if Josh Smith is scolded and dare not jump, he will still move his feet on the defensive end. And McGrady, just watching like that, you love to shoot. The posture of not throwing.

Nowitzki raised his arm and shook it for a long time, but the opponent didn't respond. He could only bend his elbow holding the ball back, push his right foot forward, take off, and then be forced to fall back!

McGrady is not afraid of being kicked because he jumps very high. Nowitzki could only kick him in the knee. He stretched out his arms to interfere with Nowitzki, who was already jumping up. Nowitzki's backwards movement really made McGrady cover him no matter what he did. No, but Nowitzki's rhythm was more uncomfortable than Josh Smith guarding him. The first ball came up!

The Mavericks retreated very quickly. Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound. The Mavericks had already retreated. Dampier's rebounding was only average. The double 12 last season was just a short-lived performance to cheat a big contract. This season, it will return to normal. Dampier's normal rebounding performance is six or seven per game. Nowitzki is still the Mavericks' rebounding king, but he is mainly backcourt rebounding. Nowitzki's style of play destined him to have poor frontcourt rebounding, and the frontcourt rebounding can be almost ignored.

Attack and defense transition, the Hawks attack.

The Mavericks' offense did not score, and they no longer care about the reasons for the offense. Now there is a huge problem on the defensive end, how to defend?

At this time, Dampier's role came into play, and Nowitzki went to the bottom corner to defend Prince, and the defense on the outside line was a little normal.

When Liu Mang pushed through half court, he saw that the Mavericks' defense adjustment was pretty good, but as long as it is a small lineup, there is always an advantage in attacking, provided that it can be defended. Now that it has been defended, it is time for him to play!

Liu Mang faced Stackhouse's defense and broke through directly. Stackhouse rushed over fiercely to force the ball. Liu Mang pulled the ball to the left, received the ball with his left hand and quickly moved forward, leaving Stackhouse behind in an instant.

At the same time, the teammates who remembered Liu Mang's instructions began to act. Prince saw Nowitzki defending. When Liu Mang broke through, Prince immediately cut into the inside line, and Nowitzki couldn't keep up!

After Liu Mang broke into the inside line, Dampier shouted in a rough voice to make up for the defense. Stackhouse's defensive ability was not good but his attitude was good. He immediately rushed into the basket to block the passing route of Liu Mang and Kwame Brown, but Prince who cut in was empty!

There were Prince and Kwame Brown under the basket, Dampier came out to make up for the defense, and there was only Stackhouse under the opponent's basket.

In this case, wouldn't it be a waste not to shoot?

Liu Mang faced Dampier's blocking defense and forced a jump shot from the free throw line!

Did the boss change all the handles to shooting buttons?

Kwame Brown and Prince were ready to grab the rebound.

Liu Mang continued his 9-for-15 shooting in the first half, and made his first shot in the third quarter!

69-69 tie!

Kwame Brown and Prince looked at Liu Mang with resentment, but they didn't dare to fight, and they couldn't win the argument, so they could only vent their anger on the Mavericks.

Attack and defense switch, the Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki just thought about dealing with McGrady, he should shoot decisively and not hesitate, but when he reached the frontcourt and reached for the ball, McGrady and Prince switched defense.

McGrady has more strength and is not worried about Nowitzki's breakthrough. Prince is taller and has a longer arm span, so he can better interfere with Nowitzki's shooting and defend closely. At worst, he will be double-teamed after being passed. He would rather let other Mavericks shoot than give Nowitzki a chance.

After Nowitzki received the ball, Prince stuck to him. The discomfort that he suppressed after finally thinking of a solution came again!

Why did the game become so unsatisfactory in the second half!

Nowitzki was in a bad mood!

His rhythm was completely disrupted!

Nowitzki tried to use a three-threat stance, but Prince stuck very close to him, as if he could attack whenever he wanted. This three-threat situation was completely useless, and he couldn't perform the Golden Rooster Stand at all. Kick? 100% offensive foul!

Nowitzki's discomfort made him feel very impatient, so he jumped up and threw it!

Still missed! Nowitzki was completely out of rhythm!

Using McGrady and Prince to disrupt Nowitzki's rhythm in turn, this is Liu Mang's complete way to deal with Nowitzki!

Originally, the Mavericks would get Jason Terry this season, and if Nowitzki didn't play well, there was Jason Terry. Now that he didn't get Jason Terry, Nowitzki improved faster because he needed to do more. His assists were a career high of 3.5 per game, a full 1 more than last season!

But when Nowitzki's rhythm was not good, the Mavericks didn't have Jason Terry, but the Hawks did!

It was the Hawks' turn to attack. Jason Terry received the ball and shot a three-pointer without dribbling, and it went in!

An old man who secretly came to the scene to watch the game and had a falling out with Cuban at the beginning of the season due to various reasons had his eyes shining. This was what he wanted! He felt that his evil plan had been perfected one step further!
