Chapter 961 960. Two Ghosts Knocking on the Door!

The off-ball pick-and-roll and hand-off passes on both wings were followed by a small block and a big block, and the back was extended to create an alley-oop. Bosh also used the pick-and-roll to make use of Hamilton's movement and Billups' three-point threat. , making a high-low double tower pass for Ben Wallace. The Pistons showed a new tactic that they had never seen before in the first half of the game. They made 6 of 11 shots in the beginning and scored 15 points!

The Hawks did not defend against the Pistons' new tactics, which was unexpected.

But Coach Kruger's side is still as stable as a rock and has not been affected by the opponent's new tactics.

The reason is simple, the Eagles still lead by two points!

On 6 of 12 shots, the Eagles scored 17 points!

The person who called the timeout and entered the official timeout was not the Eagles, but the Pistons!

Liu Mang had a strong start and scored 7 points in the first half, while McGrady scored 4 points and 2 assists.

Although the Pistons retreated quickly and the offense also played positional battles to slow down the rhythm, McGrady's judgment at the first moment was very correct. He did not start with a quick running pass and cut, but used Liu Mang's singles to start from the first. The Pistons' defensive goal was broken from the beginning. The Pistons were prepared to defend against the Eagles' fast running, passing and cutting style, so the Eagles used the most direct and effective method to attack the weakest link in the opponent's defense.

Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady withstood the threat from the opponent's new tactics at the beginning. Coach Kruger was naturally relaxed and did not rush to call a timeout. Instead, he and Mike Woodson and Stockton took a closer look at the opponent's tactical changes. , with Stockton, the offensive master, and Mike Woodson, the defensive master, to study the Pistons' new offensive tactics in more detail.

During the timeout, Coach Kruger changed players and began to arrange tactical responses. Liu Mang was also called over. Liu Mang is a very important part.

…

The Eagles sent out a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning.

To defend the Pistons from the outside, there is no need for three defenders, two are enough. In the paint, Kwame Brown, who is serving as the main center in the playoffs for the first time, is still a little impatient. Use Mourning to suppress the formation and let Kwame Brown learn from it. study.

There are no substitutions on the Pistons side. The five members of the Pistons are either in their prime, or they are freshmen between the ages of 20 and 25. In the playoffs this season, their top five starters all averaged more than 40 minutes per game. There will be no substitutions in the first quarter.

After the timeout, the Pistons attacked. After Billups advanced to the frontcourt, he found that the opponent had changed defenders. Liu Mang did not go after Hamilton, but came to defend him!

Jason Terry stared at Delfino's three-pointers and cuts. To guard against players who play like Prince, Jason Terry just stayed close to prevent him from catching the ball easily.

Iguodala worked hard to follow Hamilton. It was a rare opportunity to play during regular time. It was not an easy opportunity. What the coaching staff valued was his enthusiasm.

Liu Mang came to the right side of the top arc to guard against Billups.

When Billups saw Liu Mang coming up, he immediately signaled to Hamilton. Hamilton immediately ran towards the left side of the basket, caught Ben Wallace in the three-second zone and disrupted the Eagles' defense on the weak side on the left. What a mess.

It was difficult for Liu Mang to chase Hamilton, let alone Iguodala. The Eagles' defensive attention at the basket was drawn to the weak side on the left side of the basket.

At this time, Billups had already taken advantage of the situation and rushed toward the basket!

Liu Mang was sticking closely to Billups, but his strength was still a bit weaker. The opponent was a powerful point guard in the league who could resist Francis and Wade. Although he did not have the explosive power of Francis and Wade, he could not directly He knocked Liu Mang away, but squeezed Liu Mang to the right side of the three-second zone.

At this time, Bosh cut out from the baseline in a tacit understanding. Billups was about to pass the ball hand-to-hand again and blocked Rasheed Wallace. As soon as he grabbed the ball, he found that Liu Mang had just used his speed to get to it first. Between him and Bosh!

Billups didn't pass the ball!

Bosh went around the baseline to the mid-range, and Liu Mang followed behind Billups. Only then did Billups see that it was not Rasheed Wallace who was chasing Bosh, but Mourning!

Liu Mang and Mourning trapped Billups one after another!

Billups has no room to pass the ball!

There was no other way. Billups took off and bumped into Mourning, trying to draw a foul. Unfortunately, this was the home court of the Eagles, and there was still a home whistle. Billups didn't get the whistle, so he leaned on Mourning and headed towards the goal. Throwing the ball against the basket...

"Snapped"

Rasheed Wallace slapped the ball back over Mourning's head!

Rasheed Wallace and Mourning's perfect inside blocking cooperation!

Liu Mang grabbed the ball!

Fight back!

Jason Terry was already ready. The moment Liu Mang grabbed the ball, he immediately stepped down. Liu Mang threw the ball out with a long pass, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

Jason Terry received the ball in the frontcourt, and Hamilton followed it without being thrown away. Jason Terry rushed into the paint, attracting both Hamilton and Chris Bosh, who caught up late, to the basket. Liu At this time, Mang ran to the top arc, and Jason Terry's ball came out. Liu Mang was ready to catch the ball for a three-pointer... but he found that the ball did not seem to fly in his direction...

Iguodala shot through the air, received the ball and rushed into the free throw line and took off. Bosh rushed forward to block the shot, but was knocked away by Iguodala. Iguodala knocked over Bosh and smashed the ball in. Basket!

Jason Terry watched Hamilton fall down after being knocked down by Bosh outside the three-second zone, and patted his chest. Fortunately, he ran fast! Then he went up to celebrate with Iguodala and clapped his hands. The referee blew the whistle. Bosh blocked the foul. The goal was valid and there was an additional penalty!

The scene was suddenly ignited by Iguodala!

A completely different dunking aesthetic from Liu Mang!

Liu Mang's dunks are mostly elegant, and violent dunks are all sudden and unexpected, giving people a sense of abrupt stimulation.

And Iguodala's dunks are all this kind of dunks that are clearly intended to be dunked. The opponent is also prepared, but it can't be defended! That kind of crazy violent aesthetics makes people excited!

Bosh can assist defense, and one-on-one single defense is also good, but this kind of defense against outside rushes in, every time he is abused...

Bosh felt too pitiful, silently got up, patted his butt, and stood on the right side of the free throw line.

Liu Mang looked at the two people who were high-fiving each other. Although he was a little upset that his perfect three-point opportunity was taken away, he still acted like a boss and was very steady. He did not reveal his desire to beat the two guys to death. He went up to high-five.

But as soon as Liu Mang went up, Iguodala turned around and walked to the free throw line after the high-five. Jason Terry also turned around and ran to the backcourt to prevent the opponent from counterattacking if Iguodala missed the free throw. Jason Terry's defensive attitude was impeccable.

When Liu Mang walked up, they all thought that Liu Mang was going to grab the free throw rebound. Liu Mang had the highest average rebounds per game in the Hawks except for Kwame Brown and Muhammad. So when Liu Mang raised his hands to high-five, the two people's sight was just off him...

It's not that Jason Terry and Iguodala ignored Liu Mang, but they really didn't see him...

The active counterattack to the top of the arc made Billups and Ben Wallace, who caught up, ignore Iguodala who was cutting in the air and wanted to block Liu Mang's three-pointer, giving Iguodala the perfect opportunity to abuse Bosh and Jason Terry the opportunity to pass a beautiful pass to the top five...

Jason Terry, forget it, this short guy is short, it's acceptable that he can't see Liu Mang's self-consolation, but Iguodala didn't see it!

The picture of Liu Mang raising his hands froze for a moment, then raised his hands above his head, stretched his waist, and yawned.

The fans at the scene also noticed Liu Mang's actions at this time. Seeing Liu Mang stretching to cover up, the fans at the scene couldn't help laughing...
