The game continued, and the two teams' back-and-forth dunks at the beginning did not elicit much reaction from the Rockets fans at the scene. Instead, the cheers were particularly obvious from the hundreds of die-hard Eagles fans who followed the away team.

This makes the Rockets bench very embarrassed. It may not matter if the players on the court are too focused, but the players on the sidelines are really embarrassed!

Liu Mang looked at the Rockets' home fans and remembered that in the future Van Gundy would pay 1,000 fans to give them free tickets and pay them to boo the players on the sidelines, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

It seems that the Rockets are indeed a dragon on the road and a bug at home most of the time...

Looking back, Eddie Griffin, with the help of Francis, once again completed an alley-oop and hit a dunk.

The Eagles started to attack, and the position battle was beneficial to the Eagles. Jason Terry and Raheem cooperated in the pick-and-roll, Jason Terry slipped into the inside, and Jason Terry beat Eddie Griffin in a small way.

, made two consecutive changes of direction to avoid Eddie Griffin, and succeeded in a floating layup.

The Rockets realized that it was not possible and accelerated their attack. The Hawks retreated as much as possible in the face of their fast break and turned into man-to-man defense. Mobley, the old cat guarded by Raheem, and Francis passed the ball back after the breakthrough.

To Old Cat Mobley, Old Cat Mobley tried to force a breakthrough from Raheem, but Raheem blocked him. Jason Terry took the time to come up and beat Old Cat Mobley's ball away.

Jason Terry passed the half, and Francis quickly returned to defense. His speed was as good as that of Jason Terry, and he was able to catch up and defend!

Chasing big shots is something Francis is very good at, but he was really impulsive. Jason Terry flicked and Francis flew away. Jason Terry threw the ball high! Muhammad who followed up caught him

The ball hit the basket and the score became 6-4, and the Eagles started the game.

During the transition between offense and defense, the ball returned to the Rockets' hands. With the cooperation of Francis, he entered the paint and found a good opportunity to pass the ball to Eddie Griffin who was standing on the baseline.

Eddie Griffin originally planned to break through and dunk. He was dribbling well, but Muhammad actively blocked him. Eddie Griffin squeezed Muhammad but did not move, but leaned sideways against Muhammad.

Hammoud was a little closer to the basket and felt that he should be sure to make a shot from this position. Eddie Griffin made a hook shot!

Eddie Griffin threw the ball toward the basket. He could feel that the ball should go in! But! The moment the ball left, a figure raised his hand high and hit the ball with his right hand.

!The sound of Eddie Griffin’s blocking shot sounded!

Rahim's blocking rhythm was too good. He judged the time when Eddie Griffin took off, grasped the best place for himself to appear, and tried his best to put his right hand over to fan the ball down!

Muhammad grabbed the rebound and the Eagles continued to fight back!

The cavalry company charges!

One arrow is not there, there is another one! Raheem is so active today, and Jason Terry doesn’t want to fall behind!

Why should the "Third Young Master" show off his power today and lead an All-Star guard to rank fourth in the voting? He also wants to show off his power!

Jason Terry counterattacked first and scored two points with a layup. In another round, the Rockets were defended by the active Hawks players. This time, Raheem singled out Eddie Griffin and hit a jumper, widening the point difference.

6 points!

Tomjanovich is in so much pain! He has never coached such a bad team... Ever since he got Francis, a talented defender with instant combat ability, in 1999, his record has not gotten better. I feel a little sick in my heart. Hurry up.

I took a pill and called a timeout to adjust.

The game had only lasted three minutes and there was a timeout. Liu Mang was a little hesitant, should he stand up?

stand up?

Sit down?

Or stand up?

Seeing Liu Mang's confused look, Coach Kruger really wanted to kick him!

Can't you see that the cavalry has begun to charge?

One arrow is not enough to make a three-pointer, didn't you see?

But this is an away game, so stay calm!

Normally I don’t plan to ask this kid to come on the stage, but he always rushes to do it. Today he is so ignorant!

Coach Kruger snapped his fingers and slapped Liu Mang on the head: "Not playing yet!"

After the timeout, the Eagles replaced Dean Grove, who had basically zero contribution, with Liu Mang.

The Eagles can't go any further. The main problem is the lineup. The inside is strong enough, but there are only three people on the outside. Raheem is still half an inside line. The real outside strength is Jason Terry, and Liu Mang is the only one on the bench.

point.

The core structure is good, but there are too few people who can score.

The game continues!

Rockets offense.

Unlike the last time he faced Francis, Liu Mang has gradually gained confidence this time, and is not afraid of anything from his body to his heart...

When Francis saw that damn rookie coming, he grinned and crushed him with his body...

The same breakthrough, the same step back to defend, the same rookie being rolled over by Boss Fu, calling him stupid while being rolled in...

The title of the most impactful player in the league is not given for nothing. It really doesn’t take being active to stop him! No matter how hard you defend, it’s useless, it just eats your body! If you want to defend, you can only use your physical fitness to defend!

Liu Mang failed to cause much hindrance to Francis. Francis rushed inside with all his strength and pulled up the lever for a layup to avoid the defense and score two points.

10 to 6, the ball returned to the Hawks, Liu Mang pushed forward, the Rockets retreated really quickly, no matter how bad the team's record was, Tomjanovich was not willing to lose his championship aspirations.

Seeing Francis approaching, Liu Mang wanted to shoot directly!

But thinking about the opponent's bounce, Liu Mang still held back.

With the experience of playing against Liu Mang last time, Francis did not leave any space for Liu Mang. The three three-pointers that were like gods in the last fight Francis admitted that this rookie's shooting is amazing!

Liu Mang wanted to pick and roll, Rahim came out to block Francis for Liu Mang, and Liu Mang cut in. Although Walter Williams is a bit older and is no longer the rookie with explosive physical fitness during the Kings, his jumping speed is still good.

The huge body blocked Liu Mang from charging in.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for the pick-and-roll, you can do it yourself, or you can pass the ball!

Liu Mang handed the ball to Rahim who cut in after the pick-and-roll. Eddie Griffin came up to defend. Rahim continued to play Eddie Griffin in singles. Eddie Griffin was hit by Rahim.

It flew out, Kenny Thomas double-teamed, Rahim passed the ball to Ratliff, and Ratliff easily dunked and scored two points.

12 to 6, still a 6 point difference.

The Rockets attacked, but this time Liu Mang stopped showing off and retreated to the free throw line to defend, preferring to shoot but not shooting!

Francis, who had a hit rate of over 20%, was almost angered to death by this rookie!

There is no such defense in this era!

Defend the Iron Barrel Formation!

Francis really can't pass this kind of ball directly. He passes the ball even though there is no one in front of him to defend him. Wouldn't it cause his teammates to be double-teamed? And he himself has no ability to attack without the ball, and he is the kind of person who always controls the ball.

Taking a step into the three-point line, Francis made a long-range mid-range shot!

Missed!

The rebound was grabbed by the Eagles, and Raheem made a long pass! A counterattack was launched, and the ball came to Jason Terry. Francis rushed back to the inside, but Jason Terry passed the ball back to the top arc!

Liu Mang's chasing three-pointer hit!

The score becomes 15 to 6! The Eagles lead the Rockets by 9 points!

Then Francis came over and passed the ball to the old cat Mobley. Mobley is not particularly easy to play. He averaged a career-high 23 points per game this year, mainly relying on Francis to break through and score the ball. Francis accounted for most of the points this year.

With the ball in hand, Mobley's shooting ability is liberated.

But this singles game with the ball has rarely been played since Francis came here, and it is still a little exciting.

Mobley can actually break through, and his speed is very fast, but it is far inferior to his outside shooting ability, which has averaged 39% field goal percentage and 1.8 three-pointers per game in his career so far. Most of them are catching and shooting, and rushing into the basket.

His finishing ability is average. This can be seen from his 40% three-point shooting rate this year, 42% mid-range shooting rate and only 43% overall shooting rate.

figure it out.

Old Cat Mobley failed to make a layup!

The Eagles continue to fight back!

The Hawks maintained their own style of open offense. They worked hard to bring their opponents into their own rhythm in both offense and defense. The Rockets did not have the capital to defend the Hawks. Regardless of positional battles or counterattacks, the Hawks

The team's strengths can always be maximized.

At the end of the first quarter, the score was 29 to 19. The Hawks led the Rockets by 10 points entering the second quarter.

The team's advantages are obvious, and there is not even a slight difference in the lineup.

Different from the first match where Jason Terry was beaten and Raheem had no fighting spirit, this time the two strongest players of the Eagles showed their strength and suppressed the situation obviously. Liu Mang came up as the counterattack instigator to score the score.

point.

This time there was no chance for the Rockets to get ahead, and the Hawks had a clear advantage at the start.

But here comes the problem. Liu Mang scored 5 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, and the point difference is slowly widening. How to do Yanshe's mission! During the fast break, he can shoot three-pointers accurately, but he has no chance to shoot against the opponent.
Chapter completed!
