During the halftime break, the head coaches of both teams discovered huge problems on their side.

On the Bulls side, Coach Skiles found that he could not guard against Liu Mang no matter what. He would double-check the opponent and pass to the outside, and double-check the opponent inside to shoot directly. Mark Jackson was okay, but when Kwame Brown came on the court, his "catching" ability

Excellent, the Bulls were hard to guard against, and the opponent's 4-of-10 three-point shooting from outside today cannot be underestimated.

This forced Coach Skiles to continue the adjustments that Garnett actively responded to. For Coach Skiles, his team's mid-range shots were accurate in the second quarter, which was the biggest good news.

For the Eagles, coach Kruger also discovered the problem of over-roleization of other players caused by Liu Mang's constant playing alone.

But……

Is this a bad thing?

Coach Kruger doesn’t think so!

The tactics in the last game were so good, but because of a lot of running and physical contact with the opponent, our side only scored more than 30 points in the first half. Today, they scored 51 points in the half, and they were still 3 points ahead. The offense was better than the previous game.

So much better.

Coach Kruger is not that kind of rigid person, otherwise he and Liu Mang would have perished together. No matter what the offensive style is, as long as it can score more points, it is a good style of play.

What needs to be strengthened is the defense. Unfortunately, if Rondo and Grant Hill are sent in, the long-range shooting will be poor. If Jason Terry, David Lee, and Blake are sent in, the defense will be poor. What the opponent takes advantage of is

The Hawks scored 25 points in a single quarter when they replaced Jason Terry, Blake and David Lee in the second quarter.

You can't hinder Liu Mang's singles, you can't narrow Liu Mang's singles space, and you have to ensure defense. If there are stars who can play both offense and defense, it would be simple. But the Eagles' stars who can play both offense and defense and shoot without blind spots are Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady. Come on.

One...the other party will probably want to surrender...

The Bulls will be unable to withstand the outside impact of the Maiman combination and a pitcher. If the Eagles have another star like Maiman, the opponent will really have to surrender directly...

…

After the second half of the game started, the head coaches of both teams were making adjustments, and the stars of the two teams were also working hard to compete with each other.

After the start of the second half, Liu Mang took more shots from COSCO. He would still go to the basket when he had the chance, but three-pointers were also very important, so he started shooting one-shot three-pointers.

Fortunately, he performed well in mid-range and short-range shooting today, and Liu Mang's touch has already come out. After strengthening his three-point offensive, he can play more freely.

Coach Kruger also gave Liu Mang unlimited rights to hold the ball and unlimited fire, allowing Liu Mang to do whatever he wanted.

Of course, Liu Mang, who is now estimated to be the strongest offensive player in NBA history, lived up to Coach Kruger's expectations. He scored 12 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, helping the Hawks score 26 points in a single quarter!

The key point is Tracy McGrady!

Two catch-and-shoot three-pointers made Liu Mang's game easier.

However, for the Bulls, even when Garnett tried his best, he was very good. He made a roar and boosted the morale of his team, which was hit by Liu Mang's brutality.

If it weren't for Liu Mang, Garnett would have won the MVP. His strength should not be underestimated. At his peak, Garnett worked hard to contribute on both offense and defense. He was still very strong.

Getting Garnett will give you an offensive and defensive system, and the evaluations from the media and fans are not in vain.

In the third quarter, the Bulls scored 24 points in a single quarter and were not opened up by the Hawks.

Liu Mang had 42 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in three quarters. Garnett also had an outstanding performance of 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block.

With the two major stars performing well, Liu Mang had a slight advantage. The Eagles led the Bulls by 5 points 77-72 heading into the break.

…

During the break, while the head coaches of the two teams were trying their best to plan tactics around their own stars, one thing was being discussed at the imperial court.

"Director Zhang, how many points do you think Ace can score today?" Yu Jia asked, "Ace's performance today is really amazing!"

"I don't know how many points Ace can score. He is the leading scorer in NBA history. I won't be surprised if he scores many points. I just hope that the Bulls will play better in the fourth quarter and not be defeated by Ace.

"Director Zhang said something unexpected.

"Director Zhang, what do you mean?" Yu Jia didn't dare to make random guesses, either to offend the fans or to offend Director Zhang.

"I don't want the Hawks to lose. I hope the Hawks can reach the finals again this year. I just want to see more of Ace's performance. If the Bulls collapse in the fourth quarter, maybe Ace will be replaced.

Rest, of course, would be better for the Eagles, a few minutes off to prepare for the next game.

But Ace's performance today was phenomenal. After watching the first show, we know that Ace definitely broke out today. I don't know when I want to see such a performance again next time. It's like a god coming down from the earth.

A great game, I just want to see more of Ace's performance..."

Hearing Director Zhang's explanation, Yu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and the fans in front of the TV also understood what Director Zhang meant.

They also felt the same as Director Zhang, but they didn't know how to express it. When Director Zhang said this, they felt the same way.

With 16 of 28 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 8 of 10 free throws, Liu Mang scored 42 points and 8 assists in three quarters!

If it were the regular season, Liu Mang's performance would not be a big deal. Fans have all seen his brutal performance.

But this is the playoffs!

Liu Mang kept attacking, triggering Black Mamba's Bite from time to time, randomly increasing his ability evaluation by 1-3 points in an attack, and occasionally triggering Kobe's time. His performance was so explosive!

Moreover, facing the Bulls, who ranked first in defense in both the regular season and the first round of the playoffs this year, to be able to perform like this really makes people unwilling to look away for a second.

Exaggerated, incredible, magical... fans have thought of all the adjectives they can think of.

When commentators from major TV stations were calling Liu Mang's exaggerated performance today, the fourth quarter of the game began.

Liu Mang made a three-pointer from the outside at the beginning of the fourth quarter and made it, raising his personal score to 45 points and widening the point difference to 8 points!

However, the Bulls immediately returned the favor with a three-pointer. After receiving a pass from Garnett, Luol Deng made a three-point shot against Liu Mang's defensive switch.

The two teams began an offensive and defensive duel around the five-point difference.

The Bulls were able to become second in the Eastern Conference, and their strength was certainly not bad. In order to defend their home court today, they broke out on the offensive end and fought against the Eagles.

As for the Eagles, since they have chosen to make a fuss around Liu Mang's singles, they must persist to the end.

The battle between Liu Mang and the Bulls continues.

At the seventh minute of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang scored his third goal in a single quarter, turning around and hitting a pull-up shot, raising his personal score to 50 points. Liu Mang scored 8 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound in seven minutes.

The data of 1 block increased his personal data to 50 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals.

At this time, the Eagles still maintained a 4-point lead, 93 to 89. The Eagles still maintained a 4-point lead. The Bulls called a timeout and entered an official timeout.

There are 5 minutes left on the clock, and both teams are working hard to adjust for the final decisive moment.

This game...it's really hard to say, but in the end it was dragged to a critical moment by the Bulls.

However, since it was dragged to the critical moment by the Bulls, the Eagles have always had the upper hand, and the Eagles have the strongest confidence.

Liu Mang, who has already scored 50 points and 11 assists, is undoubtedly the most crucial person. Liu Mang alone has scored at least 70 points.

In this rigid style of play, McGrady and Kwame Brown helped Liu Mang the most. McGrady made 4 three-pointers and scored 17 points. He was Liu Mang's most trusted support point. Kwame Brown scored 12 points.

The 11-point board also played a crucial role.

With this style of play, Jason Terry does not perform well.

…

After returning from the timeout, the two teams seemed to have reached an agreement and both started the iron-blooded defense mode.

At the last moment, the two teams still focused on stability. The Eagles sent out the strongest defensive combination of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill, Marion, and Kwame Brown.

On the Bulls side, Sefrosa was stunned, and coach Skiles sent out a defensive combination of Hinrich, Duhon, Luol Deng, Garnett, and Ben Wallace.

The last few minutes...

Suddenly the two teams became ironclad...

Firstly, the current thinking of both teams is to defend each other and then score goals. This is very different from the previous regular time, when they thought that time would still be long and they would fight for a wave of attacks. The psychological aspect is affected, and the playing style is also affected.

Even an independent person like Liu Mang has influence, let alone others.

In more than three minutes, Liu Mang only relied on one defensive three-second free throw to score 1 point. Neither team scored a point. Kwame Brown and Ben Wallace each scored 4 free throws.

It was a foul caused by an offensive rebound. I don't know whether it was too much pressure, poor shooting, or too small hands. Both of them made 0 of 4 free throws.

Finally, with three minutes left, the Bulls relied on Garnett to hit a mid-range shot, turning the score into 91-94. The Bulls were still three points behind.

Then Liu Mang failed to score a three-point shot that he wanted to widen the point difference, but Du Hong from the Bulls tried to make a three-pointer that wanted to overtake the score.

With 36 seconds left on the clock, Marion defended the rebound, and the Hawks called a timeout to make the final attack.

…

For the Hawks, after Coach Kruger made arrangements, the five-small lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, and Marion came on the field.

Winning goal tactic!

During regular time, coach Kruger arranged a tactical framework for Liu Mang to let Liu Mang play freely. When the critical moment came, the tactics that took into account all the details were immediately implemented.

Coach Kruger was making this preparation when the two teams were playing hard.

In this attack, the Eagles' goal is to score!

Only this goal can be achieved.

The goal difference is 5 points, and there are only ten seconds left. It is an absolute advantage. You are not afraid of using your height to hit the inside when the opponent attacks.

What you need is mobility and range.

The Bulls made no substitutions, and they must defend at the last moment. Only by finding a way to defend against the Eagles' attack can they have a chance to equalize the score.

only……

Garnett and his teammates took the field to see this Hawks lineup...

"Watt? Fake oil! He's XX, what kind of lineup is this!"

Garnett cursed directly.

The tallest player on the other side is Tracy McGrady, a shooting guard who is suspected to be 2.06 meters tall but claims to be 2.03 meters tall!

Garnett couldn't help but spray feces, and the Hawks heard it, but the players on both teams were used to it. Garnett's more than ten years of career had already made the senior players understand how dirty his mouth was.
Chapter completed!
