From today on is the king

Chapter 1570 1569. The goal to seal the victory!
Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket through Howard!
Trigger the strongest first step twice in a row!
First, he exploded and accelerated to break through Carter, and then he had a jumping space inside... At this time, except for fouls, almost no inside line could stop Liu Mang!

Wade watched Liu Mang use his style of play to dunk Howard severely, feeling a little sad...

In two specific situations, the one with the fastest first step is already Liu Mang and only him!

Howard's first reaction was to avoid it, but everything happened so suddenly, fortunately, he has gotten used to it over the past few years...

The Magic attacked, and Carter pushed the ball steadily to the frontcourt under Wade's oppressive defense.

They didn't rush to shoot and then retreat quickly in the oppressive defense like in the previous game. The Magic played very differently from the beginning of the previous game. The Magic wanted to attack aggressively in this game!
The preparation directions of the two teams on the rest day yesterday were very different. The Eagles made defensive adjustments to the Magic’s offense, while the Magic’s first solution was to increase confidence and make ideological adjustments to avoid being frightened by the Eagles’ amazing perimeter meat grinder defense.

However, the Eagles defended well against the Magic's changing starting position in the last game!

It is very difficult for defensive tactics to lock down a successful offensive system. Even the Spurs and Suns played in the playoffs that year, only by strengthening their own offense can they have an advantage.

But the Eagles' defensive training yesterday always created some difficulties for the Magic's running positions and other aspects.

Although it failed to force the Magic to make a mistake or make the Magic players unable to pass a strong shot under the attack, it still left Carter, Turkoglu, and Raheem without room to shoot.

The 24-second attack time is getting less and less, and Nelson can only force Liu Mang's defense to shoot...

Three points!

Raheem rushed in and hit the ball in the air, but he didn't make it up. McGrady got a defensive rebound after retracting it!
The Eagles strike back!The Magic retreated quickly!
McGrady quickly advanced to the frontcourt, borrowed Liu Mang to open up space and then passed the ball to Wade. Wade cut into the dunk and scored two points.

The Eagles picked up the tempo here, and the Magic also followed suit. Carter received the serve and advanced quickly. After rushing to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Turkoglu, who was following up. Howard and Raheem rushed to the inside and took away the defense. Turkoglu made a three-pointer from the top arc...

in!

Can score!The rhythm of the two teams improved instantly!
If Biao is attacking, the Magic are worthy of any team... only one prerequisite is that they can shoot three-pointers.

The Eagles' counterattack here is mainly to attack the basket. For three-pointers, Liu Mang is mainly in the waves. The advantage is stability!

And the Magic team is a three-point team with two extremely powerful insiders, and they are good at explosions!

In this game, the Magic's three-pointer continued the touch of the previous game, and it was not affected by the consecutive dunks by Liu Mang and Wade.

The fans at the scene watched and cheered up!
The two couples started to fight each other when they disagreed!

At the 7th minute of the first quarter, when the late official timeout came, the two teams scored 21 to 19, and the Eagles fell behind by two points!

For the Eagles, Liu Mang made a three-pointer, but McGrady and Marion didn't make a three-pointer, so they went to the basket more.

The purpose of the Eagles running and playing here is to avoid the super strong inside defense combination of Raheem and Howard, but the Magic also ran up and threw three-pointers, and they were able to throw in. After more than half a quarter, the Magic team threw 4 three-pointers. It seemed that the Eagles had a slightly higher shooting percentage, but the Magic team led the way!
But this point difference is not a problem for the Eagles!
Back from the timeout, the Eagles are playing horizontally. Since pressing the defensive counterattack is useless, and the opponent runs and throws a three-pointer, then the Eagles will keep up!

The lineup of Rondo, Jason Terry, Liu Mang, Grant Hill, and Brad Miller played.

In addition to leaving a center with a certain tonnage who can flop to carry Howard, the Eagles sent four outsiders!

After the official timeout, the Magic replaced Nelson with Keith Bogans. Carter and Tegcrew each scored two three-pointers, and Nelson had all of them. The Magic sent Kenyon Dooling, Bogans, Carter, Turkoglu, and Howard.

The Eagles attacked, Rondo used Jason Terry's containment, and after a pick-and-roll with Brad Miller, passed the ball to Liu Mang who ran to the right sideline with the help of Grant Hill's pick-and-roll. Liu Mang came up and threw a three-pointer!
22 to 21, the difference of two points was wiped out by Liu Mang in an instant!

With this ball, Turkoglu and Carter could only look at each other and smile wryly. They had already pinched in place for the first time, but Rondo passed the ball accurately, Liu Mang had a slight gap in aiming, and he caught it!

How can this be done?
Raheem on the sidelines looked at Liu Mang's performance, and really wanted to go up and continue to fight Liu Mang. In the first half, Raheem made a mid-range shot, a tip-up and a counterattack.

But there is no way, he has to be patient, the magic team can have a success rate of singles at critical moments, only Carter's outside singles and his inside singles.

After this three-pointer hit, Liu Mang's touch came!
Already 12 points in a single quarter!

Two three-pointers, one dunk, one mid-range shot, two free throws, Liu Mang has already scored 1 points in a single quarter!

The Magic's offense, Howard's pick-and-roll with the ball is poor, but the pick-and-roll off the ball is still good, because the opponent can't let him go to double-team people without the ball.

With the help of Howard's pick-and-roll, Bogans received Turkoglu's point, and Brad Miller made a layup against the switched defense... The ball rolled around the basket and rolled out. Brad Miller stood well and blocked Howard who wanted to rush.

Grant Hill gave the ball to Rondo. It was a bit difficult to counterattack this time. The Magic ran faster, and Rondo was not in a hurry. After advancing to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Liu Mang who followed up from the left.

Rondo spread the word, and regretted it in less than two seconds...

Liu Mang was a big step away from the three-point line on the left side of the top arc, received the ball and threw it away!
"bang"

"Swish"

The ball bounces off the backboard and into the hoop!

"..."

Both Rondo and Liu Mang were silent for a while, and immediately turned back to defend.

"The heart can't take it anymore, but fortunately there are assists..." This is Rondo.

"It's a bit different from what I imagined, but it's fine to enter..." This is Liu Mang.

Jason Terry has long been used to it, but the Eagles' current lineup's two big insiders and the opponent's five players are slower to react...

25 to 21, the Eagles suddenly took a 4-point lead!

Liu Mang came back from a timeout and scored two three-pointers in a row. He played a wave of 6-0 alone!

Liu Mang has scored 15 points in a single quarter!The Magic team began to carry out a more active flanking strategy against Liu Mang.

This is exactly what Liu Mang wanted!

For the three-pointer just now, Liu Mang didn't know why he threw it like that, but it seemed to scare the opponent.

Liu Mang started the role of passing the ball.

Jason Terry played badly in the last game, but today's performance was completely different. When the Magic started pinching Liu Mang, Liu Mang released the ball, and Jason Terry's shooting percentage was extremely high!

At the fourth minute and 15 seconds of the second quarter, Jason Terry played less than 9 minutes and already scored 10 points!

5 of 4 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers!

The Magic called a timeout again!

42 to 36, the point difference was once again opened by the Eagles to more than 5 points. With Jason Terry's long two-pointer, the point difference came to 6 points again!
The difference in strength!
The Magic really felt the horror of the Eagles' rotation!Due to the defensive state that entered the decisive battle early in the last game, the Magic did not really feel the Eagles' rotation in the playoffs.

But the players of the two teams are getting more and more excited now!
After returning from the timeout, the Magic played a wave of climax. Carter and Maurice Evans hit two consecutive three-pointers, tying the point difference at once.

But for the Hawks, McGrady, who returned to the field, first hit a mid-range jumper, then assisted Wade with a floater and scored two points, and then McGrady helped Wade catch the ball and hit a three-pointer.

Liu Mang, as the one who was surrounded, saw his teammates playing so well, so he could only cheer for them and call them...

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, the more they played, the more excited they were, and the more they played, the more they understood each other's defense...

As long as the Magic can make a three-pointer, their offense is unsolvable. The more they advance, the smoother they are, the clearer the analysis of the opponent's defense will be!
The Eagles were originally the team with the highest scoring average this season, more than 5 points higher than the second Nuggets, and they also did a good job of cracking the Magic's defense.

The anxious situation lasted until the last moment. When the Eagles led 119 to 116 by 3 points and 51 seconds left, Nelson advanced to the frontcourt and threw a throw to Liu Mang's defense!
Nelson's shot made no sense at all. He was far behind the other three outsiders on the field with Carter's three-point rating of 93, Turkoglu's three-point rating of 91, and Maurice Evans' three-point rating of 88. As far as the center Raheem they are playing in a small lineup, their three-point stability is higher than Nelson's!
The Magic didn't expect Nelson to throw it like this!

Rondo grabbed the rebound and made a long pass. Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt to catch the ball and chase for a three-pointer...

hit!

Liu Mang scored his fifth personal three-pointer in the game, helping the Eagles lead by six points 122-116 and seal the victory!
