Chapter 882 881. The Real Run and Gun!

Liu Mang spread the magnesium powder on his hands evenly and waited for Kwame Brown and Stoudemire to jump the ball.

After looking at the opponent's Nash, Liu Mang had been waiting in front of the technical stage after talking to Stoudemire and Joe Johnson, waiting for Rasheed Wallace to finish pretending to be cool, but he Nash didn't wait until Nash came up to apply magnesium powder. He didn't notice this before because it was Raheem who applied magnesium powder, but now Liu Mang noticed it.

Nash is the core point guard! What should I do if my hands slip if I don’t apply magnesium powder? Kwame Brown’s hands are still slippery even after applying so much magnesium powder.

Then, Liu Mang saw Nash, who was at the free throw line in the opposite half, rubbing his palms on the soles of his shoes...

"..." Liu Mang was stunned, didn't this guy have to lick his palms when taking free throws? This... is the legendary sole licking?

At this time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Liu Mang put aside the unappetizing scene and waited for Kwame Brown to jump the ball.

Kwame Brown and Stoudemire were very excited. Both of them are physically strong insiders. Their right hands were stretched out in front of their faces, their legs were slightly bent, their backs were straight, and their hips were stretched back. Try to have the best possible take-off position.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown and Stoudemire jumped up!

The little bully is the little bully! Kwame Brown is fast enough, but Stoudemire is even faster!

Stoudemire moved the ball backwards!

Liu Mang quickly stepped forward to block Stoudemire who was running over, delayed Stoudemire for a moment, and then chased Quentin Richardson.

Stoudemire originally wanted to go directly to the fast break, but Liu Mang blocked it. Kwame Brown came up and squeezed with Stoudemire.

However, Liu Mang, who was following Big Q at this time, discovered that although Nash was advancing quickly, he did not directly launch a fast break, but quickly advanced to the frontcourt to face McGrady dribbling!

The Eagles were prepared to lose if they jumped the ball, and were prepared to quickly rotate defense at the beginning, but this seemed to be expected by Nash!

The ability to read defenses is so strong!

Liu Mang still didn't dare to relax and continued to follow Da Q.

McGrady is guarding Nash in the top arc. Big Q can only be guarded by Liu Mang, the best runner on the Hawks. Even though Big Q's scoring average is the lowest among the Suns' starters, he is the one with the best People who can mess up the opponent's defense are like Jason Terry of the Hawks and Jamal Crawford of the Mavericks, and this guy averages 2.9 three-pointers per game!

Nash guarded against McGrady's dribbling interference in the top arc. After waiting for his teammates to get into position, he made a gesture and Stoudemire came out to help Nash pick and roll.

McGrady is very focused on the defensive end and is always ready to squeeze in to block Nash's pick-and-roll three-pointer. It is one of Nash's biggest offensive moves. Kwame Brown comes out and is also ready to block Nash's breakthrough. The attention of the two Li Quan was attracted by the most popular MVP, but Stoudemire did not really help Nash block Tracy McGrady at this time. Instead, after bringing Kwame Brown out, he ran directly back and rushed towards the inside!

McGrady and Kwame Brown were still waiting for the opponent to pick and roll, and suddenly saw Nash throwing the ball to the inside. At this time, they heard Liu Mang yell "Back". The two turned around and saw that it was too late to chase. Si Tadmire rushed inside and quickly bounced up, as if there were springs under his feet. He flew up and pushed the ball into the basket!

Nash passed the ball just right, and Stoudemire only needed to catch the ball with his hand and press it into the basket!

Nash + Stoudemire, this feels like Kobe + Gasol, a natural understanding!

Liu Mang kept looking at Nash while running next to Big Q. He had no other unnecessary gestures except for the pick-and-roll action, but Stoudemire knew how to cooperate with Nash!

Liu Mang looked at the timer, no more, no less, it took exactly 7 seconds!

This is amazing!

The positional battle actually felt like a fast break!

Liu Mang ran back to the basket, picked up the ball, and passed it to McGrady, who advanced to the frontcourt.

After Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt, he didn't even need to pick and roll, he just made a snake-like move to get rid of Nash, who was trying his best to guard him without the ball, and rushed into the inside. McGrady's pass was the moment Liu Mang left Nash behind. The ball was sent to Liu Mang, who rushed to the basket. The moment Liu Mang received the ball, Rasheed Wallace immediately rushed out towards the bottom corner and took Marion away. Kwame Brown also Leaving the three-second zone.

Stoudemire saw Liu Mang rushing in and ignored Kwame Brown behind him and rushed towards Liu Mang. Liu Mang stepped on the left edge of the three-second zone and grabbed the ball with his right hand and jumped towards Stoudemire. Stoudemire slapped Liu Mang in the direction of dunking with his right hand. Liu Mang changed the ball to his left hand in the air and smashed the ball directly into the basket through Stoudemire.

Kwame Brown, who was looking forward to it on the other side, was speechless, and he didn’t pass it on!

Just when Liu Mang dunked on Stoudemire and wanted to say trash talk in excitement, Stoudemire had already picked up the ball and crossed the baseline and passed it to Nash, who dumped the ball directly. Go forward!

Liu Mang turned around and saw that the Suns' contemporary Jordan, Big Q, and Marion had already rushed to the three-point line! McGrady and Prince immediately followed up from the outside, but they couldn't defend against two and three! McGrady blocked the big Q who was receiving the ball, and Prince also stuck to Marion, who was rushing inside, but Joe Johnson was free. Quentin Richardson switched from the end point to the offensive transition point and threw the ball to Joe Johnson caught the ball and shot a three-pointer from the bottom corner, hollow in the air!

This season, Joe Johnson's three-point shooting percentage is 48%, ranking first among players who average at least 0.5 three-pointers per game! The open three-point shooting percentage is as high as 61%!

Accuracy is one aspect, but Liu Mang is not surprised by this. The three-point shooting percentage of the entire Suns team this year is now exactly 40%, which is too accurate. The key is that these guys on the Suns team, how come the opponent has already crossed half court just after they scored a goal!

In other words, these guys, when they were about to jump, they had already started a fast break!

Aren't you worried about passing the ball to the outside line to shoot a three-pointer?

This is not a poor defense, it is a completely defense-free style of play!

Liu Mang felt that his team was already wasteful enough. Compared with the Suns, he knew what real waste was!

Next, the Suns explained to the Hawks what real waste was. No matter how the Hawks attacked, they would counterattack whenever the Hawks had a tendency to shoot, and the Hawks had to shoot because the opponent had no defense at all!

After playing for 4 minutes, the Hawks called a timeout first, 12 to 17, and it was only 4 minutes! The Suns scored 17 points at the start!

Liu Mang's head was a little slow to react. This was different from watching a video. The scenes in the video were very different from experiencing this kind of thing in person!

The Hawks' performance in a fast-paced game was already very good, but the Hawks' style of play was not run-and-gun, but small ball. The difference between small ball and run-and-gun is quite large in essence. The Hawks still rely on defense.

Just like the media and fans said that the Hawks were run-and-gun, and Coach Kruger insisted that it was an advanced version of the cavalry tactics.

Now Liu Mang and Coach Kruger encountered the real strongest version of run-and-gun for the first time, and they didn't react for a while.

The real run-and-gun When the two really played against each other for the first time, they knew what it meant to really take shooting as a belief!

Nash's Suns showed Liu Mang and the Hawks what real run-and-gun was!
