From today on is the king

Chapter 151 150. Played to death?Then die!
The hard-fated Shuangsha, the two are almost the two oldest players in the league, and their playing time is still the two highest on the team. So far this season, Malone has averaged 37 minutes per game, and Stockton has averaged 34 minutes per game. The team's record is so dismal at the beginning of the season, and the two can't take more rest. At least they have to guarantee a place in the playoffs like last year.

Back from the timeout, Liu Mang is on the stage!
Liu Mang's popularity is getting hotter and hotter!The sluggish atmosphere at the scene, which was suppressed and beaten by two old men, instantly escalated!

"Cut." Ma Long looked at Liu Mang's popularity very displeased, he said he hated all popular defenders.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.

In addition to Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell, and Muhammad, the Eagles replaced the regular rotation lineup.

The Jazz's giants Ostertag and Brian Russell were replaced by AK47 Andrei Kirilenko and rookie center Jaron Collins.

The Jazz have already begun to plan to rejuvenate. Kirilenko, who was a rookie in 1999 but only entered the NBA this year, has already begun to take on important responsibilities. Liu Mang pushed forward. He thought he would encounter Stockton's defense, but Kirilenko appeared in front of him!

Kirilenko is not yet an all-around fighter in the future, averaging only 6 points per game, but the defense has begun to take shape in the future of the best defensive team. As a rookie, although he is not ranked in the rookie rankings, 6 points and 4 rebounds are really not good, but the defensive end averages 1.5 steals and 1.9 blocks per game.

After all, he was selected by the NBA in 1999 and trained in CSKA Moscow for another two years. He has already become a mature professional player. Kirilenko, who upholds the Russian iron-blooded style, may not do well after the rules in 07 became more offensive. In this era, he is too good!
As soon as Liu Mang got beyond the three-point line, Kirilenko started to defend oppressively. His skills were not as good as Payton's, and his body was not as strong as Kobe's.
Liu Mang quickly protected the ball. At this time, Jason Terry saw that Liu Mang had a problem, and immediately came to respond. Liu Mang immediately passed it, and then ran towards the bottom corner to open up space.

"System, Kirilenko attributes!"

"Ding...Andrei Kirilenko, height 206 cm, weight 94 kg, ability value 73, offense 61, defense 85, speed 89, strength 81, steals 80, blocks 91..."

wipe!Liu Mang looked at Kirilenko's ability value, if he gained a little more weight, he could compete for the best defensive player!

It seems that this guy really almost grabbed the best defensive player from Ben Wallace, who was at the tail end of the peak in 2006!And also won the block king!

It's a little tricky!
Stockton is relatively easy to play against Jason Terry in singles. It is true that Stockton is old and strong, but after all, he is old, the offense is good, and it is no problem to maintain his form, but the defense is helpless. The decline in speed is the biggest problem.

Jason Terry made a change of direction and stepped forward with his right foot. Stockton's first instinct was to move back to the left, but he held back.

Sure enough, Jason Terry made a fake move, and immediately retracted his stepping foot, changing direction to the left, and Stockton turned and moved to the right.

At this time Liu Mang came up to block Stockton!Completed Terry's work when he usually played a small guard!

If it was the Jazz's starting veteran Brian Russell, Liu Mang and Jason Terry's outside pick-and-roll would have been successful, but now the Jazz's small forward is Andrei Kirilenko!He quickly switched defenses in place and blocked Jason Terry's cut!

Switch!

When Liu Mang opened up the space again, it was Jason Terry facing Kirilenko. Jason Terry finally understood why Liu Mang was so uncomfortable just now.

When Liu Mang received the ball, there were only more than four seconds left. There was no time left, so he took a strong step, took a step back and made a jump shot!
Stockton reacted very vigilantly. In the past two days, Liu Mang's sniper shot was all over the basketball circle. Stockton had already been prepared and rushed directly.

Liu Mang missed a three-pointer!
Malone grabbed the defensive rebound!

The Eagles quickly retreated to the defense, the small lineup was very fast, and quickly returned to the defense, and the brisk lineup put on by the Jazz did not play fast breaks.

Stockton advanced and Liu Mang defended. The Jazz's offense was still a pick-and-roll. All offenses started from the pick-and-roll. Liu Mang was blocked by Malone. Malone had scored 4 goals in a row before, and the first quarter had already scored 8 points. Newbell's defensive center was completely on Malone's side. Stockton rushed to the free throw line and hit a mid-range jumper!

21 to 16, the point difference came to 5 points!
What a blow to morale!

The two "old men", who were almost in their forties, beat a group of young people in their early 20s to their heads!
Liu Mang received the serve and pushed forward, feeling that he needed to increase his speed!
This didn't match the coach's arrangement, but Liu Mang felt that he should speed up!
When discussing the tactics before the game, because the Jazz played against the Mavericks team that also played brisk tactics, they won two games this season!Especially when the Mavericks were running and bombing, they were killed by Stockton's various exquisite long passes.

But Liu Mang felt that if he fought in this way, he would be played to death by these two old men!Why not do something that your lineup is good at!
After halftime, Liu Mang clapped his hands to attract the attention of his teammates, gestured to speed up!
The teammates first looked at the coach, and coach Kruger also saw Liu Mang's gesture, and didn't nod or shake his head.

That is the default!

The Eagles began to move aggressively. Rahim ran out when Liu Mang started to accelerate from the center line. When Liu Mang rushed two or three steps beyond the three-point line, he changed direction sharply to the right.

After getting rid of Kirilenko, Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line. Donyell Marshall blocked Liu Mang, but Liu Mang accelerated to sprint to the three-second zone.After Liu Mang rushed to the inside line, the rhythm changed suddenly, and the word speed became extremely slow suddenly. Donyell Marshall, who was startled by Liu Mang and rushed to the inside line, rushed over his head and rushed directly into the reasonable collision zone!

Liu Mang stepped on the right sideline of the three-second zone and threw the ball into the basket to score two points!
Without thinking, if you have the opportunity to hold the ball, just do it!

It only took two seconds from the midline breakthrough to the throw!
The ball was not only due to the pick-and-roll Raheem and the breakthrough Liu Mang. Muhammad's most muscular Malone, who had been in the best defensive lineup for many times, put his life on the line. Newbell and Jason Terry's off-ball pick-and-roll brought Jaron Collins out of the three-second zone. Liu Mang had such a good scoring opportunity.

But this kind of running position also made almost all the Eagles stick in the three-point line, and the defensive formation was chaotic!

The Jazz started to fight back!
Kirilenko, Donyell Marshall, and Malone get off quickly!Stockton received the serve and made a long pass, and the Eagles focused on Malone, a historical scorer, and Kirilenko, a small forward who was not as fast as a [-]-meter-tall forward. Stockton's pass fell outside the three-point line!Completely predicted the Eagles' defense!

Donyell Marshall catches the ball from outside the three-point line!
hit!

A little hurt!
I took two points, and the opponent immediately returned a three-pointer!The score changed from 21 to 16 to 24 to 18, and the Jazz also opened up the score.

But Liu Reck didn't hesitate. After the opponent made the shot, he immediately turned around and ran towards the frontcourt. Seeing Liu Reck coming down, Raheem, who was chasing Malone back, picked up the ball without hesitation and immediately made a long pass.

This rhythm is so comfortable!Jason Terry catches the ball and makes a three-pointer!

Speed ​​is brought up!Stockton received the serve and ran forward quickly, trying to play an easy offense while the Eagles were unable to settle in a defensive position.

Ma Long and Kirilenko, who just came back, started to turn around again...

In the last two minutes of the first quarter, the two teams started a confrontational battle where no one could defend well.

In more than two minutes, the two teams scored an astonishing score of 14 to 12!The Jazz scored 14 points in just over two minutes, relying on the two accurate shooters of Stockton and Donyell Marshall, as well as the air cuts of Malone and Kirilenko!
Not to mention Stockton, after Donyell Marshall scored two three-pointers in a row, Liu Mang recalled that this guy will be the record maker of 12 three-pointers in a single game in the future!
After the first quarter, the Eagles' point difference was opened to 8 points by the opponent!It seems that the cavalry tactics failed when they met Stockton, who can always pass the ball to any position, 30 to 38, and the Jazz scored 38 points in a single quarter.

The fans roared lively during the fast break, but at the end of the first quarter, looking at the score, they were a little discouraged, as if our side was suppressed!
It seems that the tactics did not work, but were used by the opponent to fight countless counterattacks. Because the Jazz played against the Mavericks before, experts and the media said before this game between the Eagles and the Jazz that the Eagles could not use their cavalry tactics, and the opponent would seize the opportunity to score easily.

It seems that the tactic of the Eagles was indeed taken advantage of by the Jazz. They also have a brisk lineup. Malone has always been a player with very fast mobility among power forwards and is very suitable for fast offense. It's just that because of the pick-and-roll tactic, the Jazz mainly plays positional warfare.

Before the game, everyone thought that if the Eagles dared to play cavalry tactics in this game, they would be courting death. No, it seemed that they were courting death.

but!

Liu Mang saw Ma Long's sweat dripping into his eyes and kept baring his teeth to wipe away the sweat. He felt that there was nothing wrong with this tactic!

　Donyell Marshall, a great shooter with a three-point shooting rate of over 40.00% all the year round, made 2005 three-pointers in a single game on March 3, 13, sharing the record with Kobe Bryant for more than ten years. Chapter 12 is here~ There is no monthly pass today, continue to code words~ There are two to three updates~
