1094. Lets start wandering!
The video of Rashid Wallace's roaring detonated the Phillips Arena, and Liu Mang scattered magnesium powder into the air and appeared with Iguodala, Prince, Horry, and Kwame Brown.
Liu Mang felt that this lineup was enough. In order to take care of the veteran's emotions, Coach Kruger had already agreed to let Horry play for three months during the refund.
So Horry only played 15 games in the 28 games in the first two months, and he almost played in garbage time. He didn't complain because he had agreed to it from the beginning.
Compared to Brent Barry, who doesn't have money but wants to win, although Horry also has the desire to win, face is still very important.
However, although Horry's eyesight is a little poor now, his attitude is fine, and his teammates see it, so no one comes forward to express his dissatisfaction. He is a veteran role player with the five championships.
On the Nets, I was very confident when I saw the Hawks' current lineup, mainly because they had defeated this lineup less than ten days ago.
The Nets sent Kidd, Jeff McGinnis, Carter, Costic and Ratliff a lineup.
Kwame Brown jumped face to face with his first teacher who really taught him something!
Without giving the master face, Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from Ratliffe's head.
Liu Mang received the ball and handed it to Iguodala to advance.
With Iguodala here, Liu Mang can also enjoy the feeling of having fish.
Iguodala advanced to the frontcourt and handed it to Liu Mang. Liu Mang received the ball and faced Kidd's defense. The moment he received the ball, he immediately accelerated and broke into the basket!
The fight was so decisive!
Kid reacted quickly, and from the beginning he was guarding against Liu Mang for some strange actions and quickly followed, and Carter, who was defending Iguodala, immediately attacked him.
The Nets are hit quickly!
In order to increase the ball holding point, Iguodala sent me, and Liu Mang's breakthrough space suddenly became much more crowded. The Nets were also very strategic in attacking. They did not wait for Iguodala to cut in the air before attacking Liu Mang, but directly came up to double-team!
Liu Mang was paying attention to the movements of his teammates and opponents during his breakthrough. Seeing this situation, Liu Mang immediately chose to stop and jump when Carter's clamping attack had not yet completely formed a clamping attack. He immediately chose to stop and jump for two points...
The moment he took action, Liu Mang knew that he felt good today. After landing, he turned around and ran towards the backcourt.
Hit!
The start was good, and Liu Mang hit the first shot.
Kidd and Carter had no choice but to do this. Their hands were easy to use. When they saw Liu Mang throwing them out, they ran back. Both of them were helpless.
Offense and defense conversion, Nets attack.
After Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Kostic who was pulling to the high position. Kostic passed the ball to Carter who ran out to meet him. Prince followed Carter defended. In order to avoid being held close to Prince, Carter bypassed Costic and accelerated from the left side of the top arc. After Costic passed the ball, he blocked Prince and Carter rushed into the inside!
Liu Mang let go of McGinnis and went to Carter to attack. McGinnis cut at a free throw, and Carter passed the ball to McGinnis, but Horry had already taken back the McGinnis vacant route when Carter broke through and was attacked by Liu Mang and Prince.
McGinnis passed the ball to Kostic who entered the free throw line!
Even though the Hawks' defensive rotation was very quick and conscious, they were still able to get a chance to transfer the ball quickly by the Nets. Kostic entered the three-second zone and made a throw shot.
The Nets' cooperation in a small range is still so sharp.
Carter and McGinnis both had 4 assists, Kidd had 8 assists, and all three of them were too passable.
After losing Radmanovitch's inside strength fell sharply last summer, he was able to defeat the strong team repeatedly, relying on the three outsiders who were able to pass the game.
Offensive and defensive conversion, the Eagles offense.
This time Kidd did not give Liu Mang space. As soon as Liu Mang passed half, Kidd pressed tightly. Liu Mang wanted to use his arms to separate Kidd, so he could get a little space and make a strong shot. Kidd's defense is really strong!
Liu Mang couldn't speed up, so he could only move away from the top arc under Kidd's tight grip and move from both sides.
Liu Mang was squeezed to the position near 45 degrees on the left side of the top arc, at least far away from the area where Carter sat and defended Iguodala, and Horry, where Kostic was located, but it was not good to break through at this position. McGinnis defended Prince at the left bottom corner. As long as Liu Mang bounced from the left side, he would be immediately attacked, and he would break deeper, and Ratliff was there.
Unlike the first attack, he got the opportunity to accelerate easily. This time, Liu Mang was forced to a dead end by Kidd, who is very likely to be selected for the first team of the best defensive team again this year! Breakthrough or shooting are not good choices.
The pick-and-roll Horry couldn't play a role in opening up space, and Kostic defended Horry almost retreated to the three-second zone.
At this time, Liu Mang saw Kwame Brown's crazy position in the face of the master who did not give him any face. Under Ratliff's strong static force, he stuck the low post on the left side of the three-second zone. Liu Mang passed the ball towards Kwame Brown, looking forward to Kwame Brown's ability to do something.
Kwame Brown immediately raised his ball and threw a throw...
Decisively missed.
Liu Mang and Iguodala, Prince quickly retreated to defend. Just when Kwame Brown took action, Carter and McGinnis of the Nets were about to get off!
Ratliff racquets the ball into Kidd's hand. Kidd immediately threw it to the frontcourt when he received the ball. Carter received the ball at the free throw line and took off directly. Liu Mang could only watch Carter fly and dunk to score two points.
Carter rushed like this, and there was no other way except for fouls.
It was the Eagles' offense again. After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he didn't want to break through or cooperate with the inside, so he couldn't cooperate. The opponent's defense of the two towers was indeed good, and the pick-and-roll strong breakthrough was not easy.
Liu Mang handed the ball to Iguodala, played without the ball, cut in from the middle, circled around the basket, and ran towards the 45-degree angle on the left. Kwame Brown helped Liu Mang block Kidd at the basket. Kidd was careless for a moment and blocked the pick-and-roll route by Kwame Brown and his teammate Ratliff. Ratliff quickly chased Liu Mang, and Carter also rushed towards Liu Mang, fearing that Liu Mang would receive the ball and three-pointer.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! At this time, Iguodala saw an opportunity! Cut into the basket with the ball, only Kidd and Kostic were the only ones under the basket. After Kostic received the inside, he went to Kwame Brown. Iguodala rushed into the free throw line and took a step, and he wanted to deduct it!
Kid, who was slowing down, could not stop Iguodala's jumping, nor could he stop it, but his hand was quick. When Iguodala grabbed the ball and raised the ball to the top of his head, he quickly cut the ball to the ball!
The ball hit Iguodala's knee and popped out of bounds!
The experience is too poor!
If it was Kwame Brown, he would definitely hold the ball with both hands at this time. Kwame Brown saw Iguodala holding the ball with one hand and was very despised. If he had big hands, he could do whatever he wanted? He was still cut.
Fortunately, the ball went out of bounds and did not give the Nets a chance to counterattack.
Like the last game, McGrady didn't play. Before Jason Terry played, if Liu Mang encountered such a targeted defense, no one else would have good results in holding the ball, either too young or not having the ability to hold the ball.
However, this lineup is much stronger than when Korver was there.
After Kidd advanced through the half, he encountered Liu Mang's defense and passed the ball to Carter. This time Iguodala put the defense against Carter very tightly, and Prince also followed McGinnis without the ball.
Kostic came out to help Carter pick-and-roll, and the Hawks quickly changed defense, and did not shrink like the last time they encountered the pick-and-roll. Horry stood in front of Carter, and Iguodala went to Kostic's cut.
The Hawks used Iguodala to defend Carter in order to prevent Prince from being unable to withstand Costic.
The role of the Hawks in defending the pick-and-roll is reflected!
Carter did not get a good breakthrough space. At this time, he was sure that he would be attacked by three or four people.
Then play on the outside singles!
Carter dribbled the ball and left the three-point line. When Horry saw this action, he immediately rushed up. Carter indeed drove a few times and then pulled out of the three-point line, and then pulled up the three-pointer to make a move...
Horry's defense awareness was good and he had a good defense, but Carter's three-pointer still made it!
7 to 2!
The Nets started with a 7-2 game!
Carter scored 5 points in a row!
Liu Mang was also helpless and had already defended to the limit, but he relied on his personal ability to score goals.
"By relying on strength to make a tough shot, right? Who is afraid of whom?"
Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Kwame Brown took the initiative to come to pick-and-roll. When Liu Mang saw that when Kwame Brown came out of the inside, he had already received Kostic on the right side of the three-second zone, and Ratliff, who was guarding the free throw line and did not fully follow him. Liu Mang waved his hand and asked Kwame Brown to go back to the basket and block the break! Ratliff saw through the pick-and-roll here.
Kwame Brown immediately pulled into the inside when he saw Liu Mang's gesture.
At this moment, Liu Mang faced Kid's defense. With half a step across the three-point line, he suddenly grabbed the ball and took a step back, and suddenly threw the sniper out!
Kid was still watching Liu Mang's gestures from Liu Mang and his teammates, thinking that Liu Mang would cooperate, but only saw Kwame Brown pulling it out and retracting it. Suddenly the person attached to him retreated. Before Kid could react, Liu Mang had already shot more than one meter away from the three-point line on the left side of the top arc!
"Clang"
"Swish"
Kid turned his head and saw that the ball bounced on the basket and fell into the basket!
This is so lucky!
Kid looked at Liu Mang, wanting to say something trash, complaining about Liu Mang's luck, but saw Liu Mang blew the non-existent smoke of gunfire.
Liu Mang’s meaning is very obvious. He did not regard this ball as luck at all, but as strength!
Kidd felt...why is so shameless?
Amid the cheers of the audience, Liu Mang retreated. In his opinion, if he entered, he would be in!
Chapter completed!
