When jumping the ball, Liu Mang was neither ready to catch the ball nor steal the ball, because this season is no longer the time when Ratliff lost the ball every day last season. Rasheed Wallace and

Bosh and Bosh seem to be about the same in terms of bounce. Liu Mang would rather play steadily and push forward when he wins the jump ball. If he loses the jump ball, he will return to defense. He wants a stable start!

After the Pistons won the jump ball, Billups jumped up and held the ball in his arms. Liu Mang looked at Billups' actions and cursed, as if someone was trying to steal it from you, and then followed Hamilton to start.

Long distance running.

Liu Mang kept running after Hamilton. He simply didn't know what Hamilton was thinking. Before Billups had even passed halftime, the new masked man started running around inside the three-point line. Liu Mang had to keep up.

We need to maintain the team's defensive position and not be disrupted by this guy.

Liu Mang knew that this was Hamilton's role, not only to score, but also to help the Pistons, whose offensive tactics were poor, disrupt the opponent's defense, and to help his teammates with poor offense to open up the situation. Although Stephen Jackson and Bosh had persistent

The ability to attack the ball, but in the Pistons' system, they have no ball rights, only the right to shoot, because the Pistons need to control the rhythm. Billups is the rhythm master on the offensive end, and Ben Wallace is the rhythm on the defensive end.

Grandmaster.

It looked like Hamilton was running aimlessly because the Pistons hadn't started their tactical movement yet, but Liu Mang had to follow Hamilton.

"Ding... Yi Zhong level 5 trigger, the Pistons offset the Devil's home pressure, from Chauncey Billups."

While Liu Mang was running with Hamilton, he was also paying attention to the advancing Billups. To guard Hamilton, he couldn't let him receive the ball in a comfortable position, so blocking Hamilton's receiving route was also one aspect.

Although Billups's organizational ability is not top-notch, it can only be said to be excellent, but he controls his mistakes very well, and generally speaking, his passing is very accurate.

When Billups calmed down and pushed forward, Liu Mang heard the system prompts. Looking at Billups who was more stable and mature than last year and entering his peak period, Liu Mang felt that this guy had come under Larry Brown.

, I have become a lot more confident! You must know that Billups was already broken when he played the last two series with the Pistons last year.

But now, Billups is not affected by being swept in the playoffs at all!

But Liu Mang heard the difference in the system prompts!

The Pistons did not become calm because of Billups' ability to control the field, but only offset the morale suppression of their own side's Roar of the Gods!

In other words, our own home court advantage offset Billups' aura!

This feeling is good!

Seeing Billups coming over, the Pistons started attacking and running, mainly the running of Hamilton and Bosh. Except when Stephen Jackson needed him in singles, he was a two-wing shooter at other times, that is, two 45s.

Between an angle of 60 degrees and an angle of 60 degrees, his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41%, so Rahim did not dare to relax at all, and followed Stephen Jackson closely. The Pistons averaged only 40% per game last year.

The 5-point small forward was upgraded to Stephen Jackson, who averaged two three-pointers per game and averaged 14 points per game. This alone has made the Pistons' strength improve by leaps and bounds. Raheem, the Eagles

The first assisting defense gate on the outside line contained it.

Although Bosh is still a rookie, he averages 16.8 per game and is the Pistons' second scorer. Rasheed Wallace doesn't want to embarrass a rookie. This is the Christmas game, a game that basketball fans all over the world are paying attention to.

The protection against Bosh is also very tight.

Liu Mang devoted himself to the great cause of following Hamilton everywhere. The Pistons started a simple and clear tactical run. When Hamilton ran next to him, everyone went up to pick and roll without the ball. This year's mobile pick and roll blew

The penalties are particularly loose, which is very beneficial to an offense like the Pistons.

After Billups reached the three-point line, Prince defended him. Seeing the tall and thin man coming, Billups changed directions to get a little breakthrough space, trying to force his way past Billups.

Lins, just like last year's playoffs.

But! This year Liu Mang dared to hand over the defensive task of defending the opponent's first scoring point to Prince with confidence, because Prince's defense this year has reached the peak of his career!

Prince accurately judged the direction of Billups' breakthrough after the change, and blocked it. Billups tried to squeeze away with strength, but he couldn't!

Billups forced Prince to break through. He entered the three-point line, but was suppressed by Prince and could only walk from the bottom line. Although he entered the three-point line, Billups almost rushed to the end.

It’s only the distance to the free throw line!

Billups was careless! He didn't expect that this guy who performed poorly in the playoffs last year would actually improve so much defensively after only half a year!

But Billups did not panic. He remained calm as a general. He turned around and leaned against Prince, protecting the ball and waiting for his teammates to move.

At this time, Hamilton cut to the basket. As soon as Liu Mang followed Hamilton and ran to the basket, he was blocked by Ben Wallace. However, Liu Mang was ready when Hamilton cut to the basket and pushed Ben Wallace with his elbow.

Wallace turned around and continued to chase Hamilton.

Hamilton took advantage of Ben Wallace's pick-and-roll and ran out of the center toward the free throw line.

Hamilton thought he had thrown Liu Mang away, so he turned around and looked around. Just as he was about to stop and ask for the ball, he saw Liu Mang following him again.

It’s not over yet!

Fortunately, at this time, Bosh happened to cut in from the left side of the basket. Seeing that Hamilton couldn't get rid of Liu Mang, he took a step to the free throw line and blocked Liu Mang.

As expected of Garnett, his steps were broken during the pick-and-roll, and Bosh moved to block Liu Mang!

The Eagles switch defense immediately!

Rasheed Wallace immediately gave up chasing Bosh and switched to Hamilton. Seeing the switch, Hamilton immediately started to speed up again and ran towards the right side of the basket at a 45-degree angle. Just as Hamilton received the second no-play shot.

During the ball pick-and-roll, which was Bosh's pick-and-roll, Billups had already started to take action, taking a step back to the right corner. Prince was pulled to the right corner, and Hamilton shook off Rasheed Hua.

Rice got a perfect gap from the mid-range at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the basket!

Billups sent the ball over immediately, and Hamilton received the ball and turned around and shot a mid-range jumper!

Long two-point hit.

This stability is unparalleled!

Liu Mang watched Hamilton run continuously for so long, and his speed and rhythm kept running amidst the speed changes of starting, stopping, and starting again, and he was still able to maintain the stability of his mid-range shot.

The mid-range shot of 95 is probably the best in the league. It is simply terrifying!

Fortunately, this guy can only hit the mid-range shot!

Concentrate on the mid-range shot, Hamilton has practiced this to perfection!

When Hamilton took action, the Pistons had already started to defend. With Bosh this year, their power forward was upgraded from Clifford Robinson, who averaged less than four rebounds per game, to Bosh, who averaged eight rebounds per game.

The forward has upgraded from Michael Curry, who averages less than two rebounds per game, to Stephen Jackson, who averages 3 rebounds per game. His rebounding has skyrocketed even better. At least he is not at the bottom of the league. He currently ranks 42 rebounds per game.

Sixteenth in the league.

However, most of the rebounds guaranteed are upgraded defensive rebounds. Their offensive rebounds are still at the bottom of the league, averaging only 10.5 offensive rebounds per game.

The Hawks rank first in the league with 47 rebounds per game, and also rank first in the league with 16 offensive rebounds per game.

The addition of Bosh and Stephen Jackson also caused Ben Wallace to fall directly out of the ranks of contenders for the rebounding title. The average rebounds per game dropped from 15.5 per game last season to 11.7 per game this season.

Liu Mang saw that the Pistons were so decisive in returning to defense. There was no chance for a fast break, so he also suppressed the rhythm. After receiving the serve, he slowly advanced and waited for his teammates to get into position.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and saw Hamilton guarding the top arc. Facing Hamilton, whose defense was not that good, Liu Mang did not rush to attack. He took a look at the Pistons' defense and felt that it was completely different from last year!

The Pistons' current defense is very different from when Carlisle was the head coach. Coach Carlisle also attaches great importance to defense, but he is not good at it. He does not have a good defensive assistant, so the defense can only make the best use of the best defensive players.

There are not many tricks to defend against the opponent's strongest player. Under Larry Brown, Hamilton's strong physical fitness was used in single defense.

Liu Mang always feels that there is something fishy about Hamilton guarding himself! As long as you are not blind, you will know that Hamilton can never guard him! Even if he has good physical fitness, he is not a player who can be consumed by physical fitness!

Although I know there are traps, if I don't try to enter the trap, I won't know what the trap is.

Liu Mang made a gesture and started playing singles!

The Eagles team spread out and took away the defensive players. Liu Mang dribbled the ball to outside the three-point line. As soon as he got close to the three-point line, Hamilton slammed into him fiercely!

Yes!

Just a hit!

Hamilton directly used his thin body to press against Liu Mang!

Liu Mang was suddenly forced to take a step back by Hamilton, but the referee did not blow the whistle! Liu Mang knew that this was a hand-check, and Hamilton's action of bumping into the defense with his elbow was not theoretically a foul.

This is the first time Hamilton has truly defended Liu Mang one-on-one. He has occasionally done so before, and it was always due to misalignment in his tactics. He has never defended Liu Mang one-on-one, and he saw Liu Mang being oppressed by him.

The defense forced him to retreat, and he continued to press forward very excitedly!

But! Liu Mang even took a step back. Seeing that Hamilton continued to press his defense with his left arm, he only had one thought in his mind. What was this guy thinking?

Liu Mang immediately grabbed the ball with his right hand and hit Hamilton's arm from bottom to top!

"The porcelain master successfully triggered at level 5."

"Beep..."

The referee was still hesitating whether to give the whistle, but thinking that this was the home court of the Eagles, the whistle blew immediately! A foul on Hamilton's thug!

Hamilton, who was in excitement, seemed to have been struck by lightning! He saw Liu Mang patting his hand that was hit, looking at the ball rolling on the ground, and the referee making a hand gesture towards him, and then he made a move towards the technical table.

Three free throws made him feel bad!

This guy is going to compete for the scoring title! Why is he still so despicable and shameless!

Liu Mang doesn't care whether he's despicable or not, shameless or not. Hand-checking is really beneficial to the Pistons' style of play now that they have Larry Brown, a defensive master-level head coach, but the rules of the shooting cylinder are, to Liu Mang,
Chapter completed!
