Chapter 88: 88. Big Ben Domain
Chapter 88: 88. Big Ben Domain
The Eagles replaced Dean Grove with Liu Mang, and the lineup on the field became Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.
The Pistons did not make any substitutions, and continued to send Chucky Atkins, Stackhouse, Michael Curry, Clifford Robinson, and Ben Wallace.
"Welcome to Big Ben Fields!"
After Liu Mang came on stage, he heard the prompt from the system decisively.
Ben Wallace, with an ability value of 86, an offense of 50, and a defense of 97.
Relying on the strongest defense in the league, the overall ability value has been forcibly raised to 86 at the level of first-class stars! In terms of defense alone, there is no doubt that the number one in active service!
"Big Ben Field: There are always some geniuses who will break the rules. Ben Wallace is a super defensive genius who breaks the rules on the defensive end. Big Ben Field Level 3 Effect: Reduce the rhythm of the game in all aspects, block the run-and-gun tactics (regardless Enemy and friend). Continuous effect: Whenever Ben Wallace is on the field, the shooting ability of the hostile team in the three-second zone will be reduced by 10, the blocking ability of the partner inside teammate +5, the stealing ability in the three-second zone +5, and the defensive enthusiasm of the teammate will be greatly improved promote."
"Big Ben's domain characteristics: 1. Will reach level 5 within one or two years, and enter the peak period of the individual; characteristic 2. Prosperity must decline, after reaching level 5, it will decline rapidly, and return to mediocrity within two or three years; characteristic 3 .Every time you level up in Big Ben, your offensive ability rating will be reduced by 5 points. When you reach the full level, your personal offensive ability will be 40, which is the lowest in the NBA."
too exaggerated!
As soon as he came back from the timeout, Liu Mang got the ball and started to advance. He heard the system's prompt. The guy who won the best defense 4 times in the past 5 years is really scary on the defensive end!
Liu Mang advances to the frontcourt, and Stackhouse rushes forward, leading the defense at halftime!
It is true that Stackhouse defended Jason Terry very aggressively before, but it is definitely not as active as defending Liu Mang now.
Obviously, Liu Mang said that Stackhouse was abused by Kobe Bryant in high school before being traded by the 76ers, and Stackhouse began to target Liu Mang.
Stackhouse's defensive skills are average, but his physical fitness is really good! The 28-year-old Stackhouse is at the peak of his physical fitness. He is very active and confrontational, making it difficult for Liu Mang to fight, so he had to return the ball to Jason Terry.
Jason Terry's opponent changed from Stackhouse to Michael Curry, it was easy, a change of direction passed Michael Curry and rushed inside, and Jason Terry flew the throw At that time, the veteran Clifford Robinson rushed over and slapped the ball away!
The three-second zone is completely a no-fly zone! Without Raheem's height and arm length advantage, he couldn't rush in at all!
Clifford Robinson was a rookie in the 1980s. He is 35 years old, but he is still going strong!
As a power forward and even an occasional center player, Clifford Robinson averaged only six rebounds per game in his career, which is obviously a failure, but he relied entirely on averaging 20+ points per game in his early years. Ten years ago, he won the best sixth man. After turning 30, he suddenly changed his style of play and became a defensive player. In the past two years, he was selected to the second team of the best defensive team and formed with Ben Wallace. The most terrifying no-fly zone in the league!
As for the inability to grab rebounds, Ben Wallace has averaged more than 13 rebounds per game since he came to the Pistons last year, which does not exist!
Stackhouse grabbed the ball blocked by Jason Terry, picked up the ball and counterattacked, and Liu Mang quickly posted it.
A strange thing happened. According to Liu Mang's understanding of Stackhouse, if this guy had a chance to counterattack, he would throw it in the frontcourt no matter what. But this time, because Stackhouse followed someone, Instead of attacking the basket directly in the frontcourt, he waited until Atkins came over and passed the ball.
The Eagles returned to defense very quickly. When the Pistons settled down, the Eagles' defense was already in place.
A good coach pays attention to details. For example, coach Krieger knows that coaching Liu Mang needs to break the rules, so he does not arrange tactics here for Liu Mang, but arranges tactics for others in line with Liu Mang's style of play. Li and Rahim's off-ball pick-and-roll, or when Muhammad or Rahim gave Liu Mang a pick-and-roll, others moved to open the defense, all of which are details.
The same Carlisle-coach pays equally good attention to details. Last year, Stackhouse averaged 29.8 points per game. He is undoubtedly one of the best scorers in the league and has a huge offensive threat.
Generally speaking, if there is such a top scorer with an average of over 30 points per game, the team should focus on arranging offensive tactics for him, but that is coach Carlisle doing the opposite, taking advantage of Stackhouse's restraining power , Let Stackhouse pick and roll for his teammates, take the defense away, and let Atkins have a better scoring opportunity.
Carlisle-Coach understands very well that Stackhouse's scoring efficiency is really average, and it will be better to use Stackhouse as a check point.
As Coach Carlisle expected, the Eagles' defense against the Pistons was focused on Stackhouse. Stackhouse and Atkins picked and rolled, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry defended against Stackhouse. In the past, Atkins rushed inside, and at the same time as the outside pick-and-roll, Clifford Robinson blocked Muhammad who was about to help, forcing Ratliff to make up, and Atkins slammed the ball toward the backboard. Throw, Ben Wallace lobs the ball into the basket.
Both offense and defense failed, and the point difference was stretched to 7 points.
Liu Mang is a little anxious, if he still can't score next time, the point difference may be opened to more than 10 points!
This time Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the center line, Stackhouse stepped up again, trying to force Liu Mang to pass the ball.
After Liu Mang passed the ball, he cut off Liu Mang's receiving route and didn't even give Liu Mang a chance to play. This was Stackhouse's idea. He was very unhappy with Liu Mang, very unhappy.
Liu Mang could see the opponent's mind. If the ball is passed, don't even think about returning it. Jason Terry will definitely fall into the same situation as Raheem. The chance of success in singles is not high, and the connection with others is broken again. .
This is the key to the defense that the Mavericks won the championship all the way in the playoffs in 2011! When Coach Carlisle has enough manpower, this trick has been tried and tested!
Liu Mang was in a hurry, and raised his arms to push Stackhouse away, but he didn't expect too much, because Stackhouse's muscles and strength were stronger than him.
But to his surprise, Liu Mang felt the strength of his arm suddenly increase, and he actually squeezed the opponent away a little!
Iron Elbow Skill!
Liu Mang didn't expect that the iron elbow skill that he thought was used for fighting or layups in the air can be used here!
Stackhouse was taken aback by the strength of Liu Mang's elbow, where did this thin rookie get such strength?
Liu Mang didn't hesitate, too many miraculous events had happened to him, so he rushed forward and was in a parallel position with Stackhouse!
The biggest problem with a full-court press or a half-court press is that it is easy to lose position! Liu Mang increased his speed to the fastest and rushed inside the three-point line! Stackhouse hurried to catch up, but couldn't return to the best position. After Liu Mang triggered the bench bandit, he dribbled at a speed of 94, which was comparable to Stackhouse's bare-handed sprint speed!
But Stackhouse was not in a hurry, because he was always by Liu Mang's side, and did not give Liu Mang a chance to make a jump shot. Having cut off the connection between Liu Mang and his teammates, Liu Mang can only go to the basket, and there is Ben Wallace in the basket! Stackhouse is not worried about Liu Mang attacking the rim at all. Ben Wallace's ability to protect the rim has been the league's number one since he came to the Pistons last season!
When Liu Mang picked up the ball and was about to make a layup, Stackhouse seemed to have seen the scene of Ben Wallace helping him to resist Liu Mang and going up to deliver the big cap!
Just as Stackhouse expected, Ben Wallace stood in front of Liu Mang while covering the route in Liu Mang's biography!
Just when Stackhouse was about to pounce on the block, Liu Mang seemed to stop a step, then took a step sideways, and bypassed Ben Wallace when he was on top!
At this time, Stackhouse had already rushed forward, and Liu Mang took another step to the other side! Stackhouse flew past Liu Mang!
Totally undisturbed! Liu Mang made a low hand layup...
"Snapped……"
Clifford Robinson rushed over and slapped Liu Mang on the arm. There was nothing he could do. Clifford Robinson rushed over and had no choice but to foul instead of letting Liu Mang directly attack the basket!
Good luck in Carlisle before 2011! There has always been the top lineup in the league, but it seems that the character is a bit out of character. Just brought the Pistons to the other four that introduced the Pistons to form a lineup that has entered the Eastern Conference Finals for five consecutive years, and was fired. When it came to the Pacers, With the best defensive player, the all-time three-pointer, Jamal Tinsley, the boxing saint Stephen Jackson O'Neal... a lot of first-class, top and even superstar lineups are Auburn Hills. Sometimes people are unlucky and drink cold water and get stuck between their teeth. It was not until 2011 that they realized their championship dream.
However, Carlisle is quite successful. There are only 20 or 30 coaches who can win the championship in the entire history of the NBA. In fact, it is more difficult for NBA head coaches to win the championship than players. A championship team has 15 players, but there is only one. head coach.
After thinking about it, how do I explain it? Ben Wallace was obviously the best defensive player in the past year in 2006, and then suddenly almost couldn’t make the defensive second team, even if it wasn’t for the four best defensive players. The impression is still there, I really can’t get into the best defensive team, and there is no problem of leaving the Larry Brown system. I have also won the best defensive player under two top coaches, Carlisle and Sanders, but The sudden avalanche of decline is really unbelievable.
