"I'm sorry, rookie, I lied to you, I think I can shoot from more places, not just in the low post."

Seeing Liu Mang's side face with a smile as he turned around and ran back to high-five Blake, Sefrosa's thought in her heart was: "That's so bad!"

14 to 22, the Bulls trailed by 8 points.

When the Eagles attacked for the second time after the timeout, Sefolosha guarded Liu Mang, allowing him to regain the courage to guard Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang immediately teased him and P.J. Brown together on his next offense.

This devastated Sefrosa.

Compared with Garnett's verbal abuse, Liu Mang's psychological blow with practical actions made Sefrosa feel like she was about to collapse.

"Ding... Temporary characteristics: The serial killer has been triggered, and the host's endless psychological attacks on the opponent are in progress..."

Hearing the system prompt, Liu Mang caught up with Mark Jackson when he was returning to defense and said: "Mark, I will be double-teamed in a moment, so you can go to the basket!"

"Do you want to cooperate with me in passing the inside line? I will work hard." Although the pie-eating ability has been strengthened, the offense at the basket basically only consists of dunks. The mid-range is a little but not stable and can only be used as a last resort offense. Mark -

Jackson also said he would work hard.

"No, just grab the rebound and tip it in. I will shoot when the time comes. If I score, I will score. If I don't score, you can get an extra rebound by tipping it in. How awesome."

"Oh...ah?" Mark Jackson saw Liu Mang's back stopped at the three-point line and felt that his head was full of question marks.

Liu Mang had no idea of ​​passing the ball anyway, and he felt great now. There were still 3 minutes left in the first quarter, and he had already scored 14 points in a single quarter. The opponent's double team was better, and he could pull the opponent's inside to directly assist the rebound.

Seeing Xinrich advancing, Liu Mang immediately pressed forward.

"Ding...pressive pressing defense is triggered at level 5, and the host's steal prediction is greatly improved..."

Liu Mang saw the opportunity and quickly stretched out his hand. Fortunately, Hinrich was already prepared in advance. He hugged the ball and passed it to Garnett, and then ran away Liu Mang.

Garnett looked at the Eagles' defensive position. With a defensive master like Garnett, he could tell at a glance that the Eagles' defense was not as good as the lineup.

He judged that Liu Mang was out of control today!

It was a completely unpreventable gesture, too fierce.

The Eagles didn't need to make too many moves. Liu Mang, who was simple and crude, kept scoring the ball in isolation.

Originally, the Bulls were still thinking of consuming Liu Mang. Liu Mang's kind of singles would be too much for Jordan even when he was back at his peak. Another No. 24 on the West Coast playing like this would probably be too much.

But after playing for nine minutes, he shot 10 times in nine minutes and made 6 of 10 shots. However, Liu Mang didn't seem to feel tired at all. Garnett knew that exhaustion might not work. Maybe there are people in the world who are really physically fit.

After running a marathon, you can still find three or five girls to have a few rounds with your physical fitness monster.

Precisely because of Liu Mang's simple and crude singles distribution, the Eagles seldom moved outside. As a result, the Bulls' defensive strategy of increasing physical confrontation when preventing the opponent's movement was mostly weakened. The opponent's pitcher stood still.

If you don't move, you can't collide with the opponent. No matter how much the referee gives face to the home team, he can't watch this kind of foul happen.

As for Liu Mang, although he only has eyes for the basket, he is attacked from both sides, that is, if there is a double attack from behind, or with his back to the basket and a double attack, he will definitely jump up and pass the ball to an open teammate on the outside. The Bulls do not dare to use it yet.

Outside attack.

With Liu Mang's extremely explosive performance today, Garnett made the decision to enhance his offensive impact!

Although it is difficult to go into detail in terms of character, Garnett's awareness on both offense and defense in basketball is top-notch. He has been ready to make changes since the last offense.

Garnett took the initiative to dig in, relying on Marion to turn over and shoot a jumper from close range...hit again!

16 to 22, the point difference narrowed to 6 points again.

Seeing Garnett's offensive choices this time, Liu Mang saw a problem. The Bulls, who couldn't defend themselves, wanted to solve the problem by attacking!

Garnett's inside attack is not strong, but it is not weak either. At least it is first-rate. He once averaged 24 points per game and averaged 20.0 points per game for many years.

But if he strengthens his inside attack, he won't be able to maintain such a high level on the defensive end. There will be gains and losses, so in most games he focuses on defense and just enough offense. The Bulls are weak on defense this season, except for the players.

In addition to configuration, the team's needs are also very important. The team needs to have the most dominant aspect in the league, and defense is the easiest and most capable thing for their lineup.

But now the team needs offense more, so Garnett has shifted his focus to offense.

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang began to slowly shift his receiving position to the outside, trying to bring out the opponent's center as much as possible to help his own center create opportunities to grab rebounds for a second attack.

Of course, Liu Mang's first goal is to score.

Garnett showed a rare lack of cowardice and wanted to attack the inside, so of course Liu Mang accompanied him.

However, Mark Jackson's "catching" ability is really average, and it can't be compared with Kwame Brown and Marion...

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles were 28 to 23, leading by 5 points heading into the break.

Liu Mang had 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 turnover in a single quarter, having his best performance in this year's playoffs.

From the comparison from the first round to the second round, Liu Mang clearly understood the meaning of what Jordan said, "I have no chance to score high points when playing against a weak team." When stars like Liu Mang and Jordan, who have won the scoring title many times, want to

When facing a weak team to score points, the opponent will definitely double-team you without restriction, but when playing against a strong team, they may want you to play alone, take away the data, and keep the victory.

When they played the Pistons in the first round, if Liu Mang hadn't been a bit lazy, he might not have scored 18 points in a game. But against the Bulls, he was in good shape and easily scored high points.

After the Bulls made some adjustments in the second half of the first quarter, their offense became better. They scored 13 points in the next 5 minutes, which was better than the Eagles who only scored 10 points in the next 5 minutes.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...

Today’s game was beyond the fans’ expectations!

Liu Mang scored 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting in the first quarter, which made the fans hate him and made the fans in front of the TV feel so "wow".

The best thing about the Bulls' defense against Liu Mang is that they have Sefolosha or Luol Deng who can block the outside three-pointers with their height and agility, and they rely on Garnett and even Ben Wallace in the mid-range.

The defense was good, and they were not afraid of Liu Mang inside.

But this time Liu Mang penetrated the inside line. In the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 5 in the low post. He made 5 of 8 shots in one-on-one low post jump shots or turnaround layups, which completely disrupted the Bulls' plan.

The key is that they also have to worry about Liu Mang's three-point shooting, allowing Sefolosha to stay close to Liu Mang, giving Liu Mang the opportunity to freely position in the mid-range and short range.

Even though Liu Mang didn't make a single three-pointer in the first quarter, the threat of three-pointers is the key to his ability to play mid-range and short-range with ease!

Otherwise, with the Bulls' defense, even if the real Jordan comes, the game will probably be very tiring.

But Liu Mang can easily get the opportunities he wants in one-on-one and double-team situations.

The Bulls really don't know how to defend Liu Mang, so they can only adjust as much as possible according to the situation on the spot, and at the same time, strengthen the firepower on the offensive end.

Of course, if the Bulls are given time to adjust, for example in the next game, Liu Mang will still be as brutal even in the low post. Considering how big the Bulls are, eight players have a defensive rating of 80 or above, and four players have a defensive rating of 85 or above. This is a super defense.

lineup, we can more or less think of some solutions.

But it is too difficult to change the structure of a team's defensive system temporarily.

The Bulls' initial preparation was that the Hawks did not have a top inside attacker. David Lee may have that ability but was severely limited, and Grant Hill did not have Liu Mang's physical fitness. The Bulls did in the last game.

Very good.

And this has been the preparation the Bulls have been making since a long time ago, after the trade deadline passed, the time for players to buy out and participate in the playoffs passed, and the Bulls and Hawks were determined to enter the playoffs in the second and third places in the Eastern Conference.

, in their eyes, the strongest opponent in the Eastern Conference is not the Cavaliers, but the Hawks.

However, the saddest thing in my heart may not be Sefolosha, Duhong, and Luol Deng guarding Liu Mang, but the bald man wearing No. 24 jersey and eating ice cream in front of the TV.

The warm wind from the West Coast blew in through the window. The bald man was eating ice cream. He felt that the ice cream was so cold that it made his heart feel a little cold...

The other party had the same moves as him, and he also liked to play tricks, and... the other party once boasted that this was the other party's trick that he secretly learned...

With the personality of this No. 24 player, he will not argue, but will be "really hammered". Forget it, as time goes by, the fans will forget about it.

But this time, it will definitely make fans recall it again...

However, Liu Mang's performance is not all good, there are also some disadvantages, that is, his teammates are all standing, so there is no flexibility in tactics, so Liu Mang keeps playing.

In this way, there will always be times when teammates fail to make shots. Under Garnett's decision-making, the Bulls decisively increased their offensive impact. The Bulls also shot very accurately today from COSCO. In the second quarter, Liu

Mang scored 12 points in a single quarter, the rest of the Eagles scored 11 points, and the Eagles scored 23 points in a single quarter.

The Bulls scored 25 points in the second quarter.

After halftime, the Eagles led the Bulls by three points, 51-48!

Liu Mang scored 30 points in the first half and entered the intermission.

When Liu Mang just got 30 points, the system prompt came.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for scoring 30 points in a single game. The tough guy mission goal 2 has been completed. The remaining unfinished goal is to win at least one of the first two games of the series with the Bulls."

Leading by 3 points at halftime, and the team scored 51 points at halftime, which is very good news for Liu Mang!
Chapter completed!
