1553. The Bulls want to destroy their main force

Good news comes one after another!

The media began to add fuel to the flames, advocating that Liu Mang won the best of the month for the sixth time in the season in April, and broke the historical record for the best number of weeks.

Garnett only got two blocks, temporarily interrupting the competition with Liu Mang...

Judging from the current small goals, Liu Mang attaches great importance to competing with Garnett for the block list and back-to-back home games against the Bulls on No. 12 and No. 13.

But this season starts in December, Liu Mang has a big goal for the season...a super record that only two people have accomplished in NBA history, and it is getting closer now!

Originally, in April, the last month of the regular season, Liu Mang was not sure whether he could win the Player of the Month Award. If he hadn't averaged 6.25 blocks per game in 4 games in the first week, Liu Mang would definitely not have won the Eastern Conference Weekly Award.

optimal.

The Raptors originally finished the games in March and had little hope of 60 wins. However, in the first five games of April, they won all 5 games, soaring from 52 wins to 57 wins. 60 wins are in sight. Contemporary Jordan Joe Johnson has 5 games in 7 days.

He averaged 37.4 points per game, scored 40 points three times in 5 games, and scored more than 30 points in all games. He was originally the favorite for the best of the week.

But Liu Mang's numbers of 28, 10, 5, 6 this week were so astonishing. Even with Joe Johnson's performance, Liu Mang was snatched the best of the week.

This makes the goal Liu Mang wants to achieve seem to be one step closer.

After playing two games against the 76ers, the Hawks still had 5 games left. They had a day off on the 8th and the last game against the Pacers of the season on the 9th.

122 to 106, the Eagles defeated the Pacers without a fight at home. The Eagles' defense was quite poor in this game, and they were scolded by Coach Kruger after the game.

However, the pace was fast and the Pacers players had many opportunities to cut inside. Liu Mang transformed into a jumping man and got 6 blocks!

Although the real defensive effect is not as good as Liu Mang's usual two to three blocks per game, the Pacers coaching staff does not want to win, but the players want to fight when they have the opportunity, and the Eagles' offense is also worthy of the Pacers.

"Topping out" again as the last-last team in the Eastern Conference, it was easy to win.

33 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 6 blocks and 2 steals! Liu Mang continues to maintain his explosive data in April!

After defeating the Pacers, the Eagles' record improved to 66 wins and 12 losses. There are four games left in the regular season, back-to-back games against the Bulls at home and away. The last two games on the 15th and 17th are both at home, against the Celtics and

The Heat ended the regular season with a three-game winning streak.

Next, we will play the Bulls back-to-back at home and away on the 12th and 13th, which is the time to verify the team's strength.





"The four special tasks of Continuous Execution, the first one related to Milicic has been completed. The "Prison Kill" special tasks of Fury of the Wind Chaser are still continuing, among which the old grudge related to Garnett has now arrived.

The critical moment; the special mission of dynasty restoration has not yet started; and the relationship with the Spurs system..."

Sitting on the plane heading to Chicago, Liu Mang was studying the four special tasks of Lian Zhu.

After defeating the Pacers on the 9th, Liu Mang took a day off in Atlanta on the 10th, and went to Chicago with the team on the 11th. The following 12th and 13th were key back-to-back games that were regarded as a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals.

But now Liu Mang averages 2.91 blocks per game, which has firmly surpassed Garnett's average of 2.85 blocks per game. He has the upper hand. He only needs to maintain it and win at least two games against the Bulls.

Just play the next game and it will be possible to complete the task of "Old Grudge".

However, there seems to be something wrong with the progress and activation time of the last three features!

"Doesn't the task that comes out first necessarily be completed first?"

Liu Mang discovered a problem, that is, the second feature of the mission "Prison and Kill" was too powerful!

"Prisoner: It has an excellent restraint effect on teams that have a high concentration of ball rights and attack around the core of the ball."

Although I don’t know the specific effect because I haven’t obtained this skill yet, but it looks very powerful from the description.

Entering the point guard era in the future, almost half of the teams will attack around the core of the ball, and this trend will become more and more important in the future, and there will be more and more tall point guards with good athletic ability... So

As time goes by, this feature is simply incredible!

In this way, Liu Mang feels that this task is not that simple. Completing Garnett's "old grudge" task will definitely not be the end, because Garnett is not the core of the ball-leading offense. Now he is older and can't play well.

Smarter. To put it bluntly, Garnett's current offensive organization is very similar to Liu Mang's, focusing on passing the ball in the middle.

Liu Mang had a hunch that maybe the dynasty had been restored and the "Prisoner and Killer" had not been obtained yet, and it might even be the same as the "Spurs System" that had been defeated at its peak and would not be completed until the end!

However, some things cannot be rushed. Liu Mang studied it for a while and did not think about it deeply. He took out his laptop and watched the Bulls game video.

The regular season games are hard to say. The preparation time is too short. Especially in the middle and late seasons of the season, the Eagles only have one or two days to prepare for each opponent. Sometimes it takes only one day or even none. That’s why many strong teams will

There is a situation of being upset.

The Bulls are already strong, averaging 99.3 points per game this season and conceding 91.6 points per game. Although they do not have the highest defensive efficiency in history like last season, their defensive efficiency still ranks first in the league, and their offense also has Reid.

A defender with excellent offensive ability, a very troublesome opponent.



Time passed quickly, I came to Chicago to rest for a night, and on April 12th, the game between the Eagles and the Bulls started.

The Eagles have all their main players in this away game!

The second round of the playoffs last year was a bit strange. Both teams played better on the road, and it seems to be the same this time.

Face off against Garnett for blocked shots...

This Liu Mang really doesn't know how to block shots. The Bulls are probably the team that least wants him to block shots. When Garnett blocked shots in the past few games, the people who supported him the most were his teammates.

In terms of height, it is much easier for Garnett to block shots than Liu Mang. If the role of the defensive end is not considered, it will be much easier to block shots. It is like DeAndre Jordan averaging 2.5 blocks per game in his peak blocking season. The result

The Clippers' interior defense was scumbag that season.

So, Liu Mang did the opposite and asked everyone not to block shots!

Whoever Garnett was guarding, Liu Mang would play a pick-and-roll with that teammate, asking Garnett to switch to guard him, and then pass the ball out to contain Garnett.

On the defensive end, Liu Mang should defend well and defend normally.

At this time, Liu Mang stopped blocking shots. Playing the Bulls back-to-back was the best opportunity to verify the team's strength.

But... with a normal style of play, when Liu Mang was playing against the Bulls, he would block a lot of shots without deliberately brushing them off!

With Reid, a leading scorer with excellent three-pointers and mid-range shots, and Hinrich, who is also a good three-pointer, the Bulls' two perimeter players opened up space and were tightly guarded by the Hawks. Naturally, others had more opportunities to cut in.

With Garnett passing the ball in transit, Ben Wallace and Luol Deng cutting in are the Bulls' main scoring methods inside.

As a result, Liu Mang blocked more shots, and they were blocks with normal defensive effect!

The Bulls fans at the scene had been quarreling with Eagles fans online, calling Liu Mang a shot-blocking brush. Blocking shots looks good but is useless.

But...when Bulls fans saw with their own eyes that Liu Mang slapped Bulls frontcourt players under the basket again and again for cut-in dunks or layups, they realized that it was different from what they imagined!

Bulls fans naturally don't like to watch the Eagles game. They hate the Eagles so much that it's hard to describe their hatred for the Eagles, and their subjective consciousness is very strong. Some people suggested that Liu Mang was blocking shots, and they thought Liu Mang had spent the whole season.

They are all brushing their caps.

Now I think about it, Liu Mang had already averaged 2.7 blocks per game before entering April, not losing to Garnett.

Liu Mang had 19 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks!

Garnett had 12 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks.

In the first back-to-back game against the Bulls, Liu Mang blocked more shots than Garnett!

Liu Mang led the lineup, and Wade led the rotation. Of course, the main point was the center rotation of Kwame Brown and O'Neal Jr., and the basic points of the interior defensive tactics of Marion and Grant Hill's power forward rotation played the biggest role.

The high-intensity defense maintained throughout the game allowed the Eagles to dominate this defensive battle!

92 to 85, the Hawks took the lead in back-to-back games at home and away, defeating the Bulls on the road with a 7-point advantage!



It is currently 3-0! He won the first two games against the Bulls. In terms of blocks, Liu Mang's average of 2.91 blocks per game is temporarily better than Garnett's 2.84 blocks per game, and the advantage is huge!

But Liu Mang didn't have time to be happy. After playing the Bulls, he went back to the hotel and went to bed. Early the next morning, Liu Mang went back to Atlanta with the team. He slept for a few more hours and had something to eat at noon.

Go to the arena to prepare for back-to-back games in the evening.

Winning last night's game was actually not easy. The Bulls' defense was too good. With Wade on the Hawks' side, they could continue their defense when rotating the lineup. They relied on many tough players on perimeter defense, and

The inside center position could help Liu Mang block the inside line and allow Liu Mang to act as a defensive threat, thus maintaining the single-digit lead until the end.

Public opinion is also a very important aspect. Maybe the local fans in Chicago said that Liu Mang talked too much about "blocking shots" and their players really believed it. Even if they didn't believe it, they would inevitably have that kind of suspicion. When Liu Mang was in the paint

After showing his "giant killer" defensive effect, he scared the Bulls' cutting players.

He is the real shot-blocking leader in the history of guards! Even the 2-meter-21 big Z's basket was blown away.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the second game of back-to-back games between the Hawks and Bulls began.

In tonight's game, the Hawks still let Wade, Marion, and McGrady take turns to rest. Marion and McGrady have done too much dirty work and need to take a rest. The playoffs are about to begin. Last night

The game has verified how strong the team's defensive end is based on the internal rotation changes, and there is no need to verify it in back-to-back games.

It's not a lockout season, and the playoffs aren't back-to-back.

On the Bulls side, Coach Thibodeau is simply a genius. Five or four of them average playing time of at least 40 minutes per game, and they still play with all the main players back to back!

Even the Hawks didn't expect that the Bulls' fourth place in the Eastern Conference was basically stable, but they still didn't let them take a break after working hard all season!

Want to destroy the main force?

Even Liu Mang felt incredible about Thibodeau's appearance arrangement. Liu Mang thought that the reason why Derrick Rose was seriously injured for the first time was because Thibodeau still let the exhausted Rose continue to play during garbage time. In that Bulls game

The team led by more than ten points at the last moment, but Rose was completely defeated. After a serious injury, Rose began to avoid using the injured leg, causing the other leg to bear excessive pressure, which in turn injured the other leg, and a continuous vicious cycle...



Liu Mang remembered that even if Rose was played badly, Thibodeau did not stop. Later, he used the same method against Luol Deng, Noah, and Jimmy Butler. Luol Deng and Noah were also used.

My status plummeted early in the game...

After Liu Mang fought the Bulls to an 18-all tie in the first quarter, he saw that the Bulls continued to send in the top four in the second quarter, but the center was replaced...
