From today on is the king

Chapter 265. Chapter 263. Boys Who Love to Laugh
The first ball is not very obvious, but fans of the second ball can see it.

Then thinking of the biggest flaws of the two strongest insiders in the league today, the fans gasped.

It's not because of this defensive strategy, but because... Popovich can't even do this thick and shameless style!

At the beginning of this game, the sharks were hacked consecutively from the first ball, which really made Popovich unable to do it!
The head coach of his own is the Georgia Tech Jackets, and everyone is familiar with the style, so he definitely would not do such a thing.

So……

Looking at the rookie who is not blushing and not panting... Fortunately, it is my own!
What Liu Mang and the Eagles wanted wasn't to kill Duncan so badly. The Hawks didn't pay attention to chopping Duncan after three shooting fouls. It's okay to try something like chopping sharks. It's Shi Lezhi as a routine tactic.

In the beginning, Nelson created this tactic to force the opponent who is strong in singles not to dare to hold the ball, and to limit the tactic invented by O'Neal.

Although it was used by McHale and Rivers to cut Capela and Jordan Jr. into a slashing tactic, a blind coach and a chicken soup coach really have no tactics to use. They can only slash each other. The main purpose of the shark slashing tactic is completely missed.

The shark-cutting tactic was invented by Nelson, but it was Popovich who used it the most in the first two or three years of the century. He mainly used the shark-cutting tactic to destroy the offensive rhythm of the Lakers. Although his own rhythm was also disrupted, the Spurs' tactic during Duncan's peak period was Duncan's singles.

Shark-cutting is not for winning. There is really no team that can beat O'Neal by hacking sharks in a series. The main reason is to make O'Neal play unhappy.

This is also the purpose of Liu Mang and the others, Duncan can't let it go smoothly!
Coach Kruger felt an evil look in his eyes. Coach Kruger looked at Popovich. The two coaches looked at each other, and they both snorted arrogantly and separated their eyes.

A person who secretly curses despicableness in his heart, and a person who secretly curses despicableness in his heart will surely meet an even more shameless person one day.

The Eagles didn’t deliberately cut Duncan. Although Duncan’s free throws are not good, they are better than O’Neal. 60.00% one is better than 50.00% five, and it’s really like Popovich giving O’Neal more than 30 free throws in one game, or the Magic giving Howard 39 free throws. What a big hatred!Can't do it.

As long as Duncan is not shooting, the Eagles will defend normally. Even if Parker starts to show his talent, and after David Robinson picks and rolls, the double cuts on both sides are very sharp, and the Eagles will play normally.

Just to make Duncan feel better.

In this Spurs with an old general and a young sports car, the offensive end pointed at Duncan to double-team, and others took the opportunity to score.

Duncan's expressionless face is broken at the moment, this tactic is too shameless!Halfway through the first quarter, he made a successful shot!The other six free throws were two.

This is a very difficult problem for the Spurs to solve. In the past few years, the Spurs have encountered the Lakers' tragedies in the playoffs. The main problem is that they don't have a star-level second point!

But the biggest difference between Duncan and O'Neal and Jordan and Capela is that in addition to the skills, it is more about the ball quotient. Duncan did not continue to ask for the ball after he was fouled by the Sharks. Instead, he went to pick and roll without the ball.

The Spurs' defense is really strong, with Duncan on the inside, a general in the defense, and Bowen on the outside. Thanks to Raheem, this point is quite incomprehensible for the Spurs.

Leading the Spurs by 5 points at the start!
The Spurs called a timeout first, and when the time came, the referee turned the timeout into a longer official timeout.

The fans at the scene are so excited!
Leading the Spurs by 5 points at the start!
Since the 1997-1998 season, the Eagles have lost 8 consecutive games against the Spurs. Except for the 98-99 season, the two teams only played against each other once. In every other season, they lost two regular season games and were swept every year.

Not only that, even leading the Spurs very few times in these games, every time they were brutally abused, it seems that today seems to be a mess!

……

Popovich looked gloomy. Before there was a troika, his tactics were all around Duncan. Duncan pulled up to the high position, had a good mid-range shooting ability, pulled the basket down, and supported his teammates to shoot.

The main reason is that there is no one, and Popovich has not yet developed the later Spurs system, so he points to Duncan alone.

At this time, Popovich really couldn’t think of any good ways to attack the offensive end. If you really want to say that Popovich has only been the head coach for five or six years, he is far from the historical famous coach in the future. At this time, he began to hint to the players: "You guys have to play more furiously! Raise the confrontation! Don’t let the opponent get close to the basket so easily! Defense! Improve the defensive confrontation!"

To say that a team plays dirty has a lot to do with the head coach!
……

On the Hawks side, coach Kruger saw that he had a 5-point lead and had to keep it!

Then you have to come up with something different, something that the other party can never expect, and something that you can't predict...

close the door!Let the hooligans go!

In fact, without coach Kruger's instructions, Liu Mang ran to the court to find the ball to shoot and feel when it was timeout.

Coach Kruger's inscrutable expression was actually thinking...how Liu Mang will fight today...

He didn't know what Liu Mang would do when he went up, so he was very confident that his opponent would never think of how he would fight next.

……

Popovich replaced Steve Smith and David Robinson.

Steve Smith, another failed signing by the Spurs last summer. The All-Stars of the year were aging too quickly. Last year, they averaged 15 points per game, but this year they averaged only 10 points per game. They all said that Popovich’s low-cost contract in the future will be awesome. It is all the experience accumulated from the bonus brought by Duncan in the early years.

The one who replaced David Robinson at power forward was Malik Rose, one of the Spurs' double dirty players. He was the second-round pick of the 96 golden generation. He was selected by the Hornets. The 97-minute real man who only played 05 minutes in a game, played for Durant as a substitute for a year in the last year before retiring, and taught Durant a lot of defensive skills.

The one who replaced Steve Smith was Antonio Daniels, the fourth position of the Grizzlies in 97. After playing for a year, the Grizzlies used a second-round pick to send away the 4-year 1000 million contract.

Malik Rose, Bowen, Daniels, three people on the court, if it is the old opponents of the Spurs, seeing this combination will immediately start to hurt.

The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell, and Muhammad's regular rotation.

Pause back.

When Duncan saw Liu Mang coming up, it was like seeing a relative!
The Eagles are too annoying. The only player Duncan has a good impression of the Eagles is Liu Mang.

The reason is because of Liu Mang's big brother before the game...

"Big-brother-Deng"

Before the game, Liu Mang called Duncan like this, translated into Chinese as Brother Deng, and brother in English means big brother.

Although he doesn't have the aura of a big brother, nor does he have the airs of a big brother, but Duncan still has a big brother's heart!

Back from the timeout, the Spurs attack.

Parker pushed forward, and Liu Mang defended himself.

"Hey, Tony, long time no see!" Liu Mang greeted warmly.

Parker is so embarrassed, do you want to answer?
Liu Mang was so enthusiastic, and he was easy to talk to during the All-Star rookie game. The relationship between Parker and Liu Mang wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.

But this is in a competition, it's so embarrassing to say hello... Hey!I go!
Parker quickly protected the ball, and when he was thinking wildly, Liu Mang reached out to steal it.

Parker was able to control the ball properly. Liu Mang watched Parker protect the ball and returned to the defensive position resentfully. This French sports car is so alert!
How despicable!Parker's understanding of Liu Mang became clearer.

"Tony Parker, ability value 70, offense 79, defense 60, three-pointer 57, mid-range shooting 69, layup 88, speed 95..."

Seeing Parker's more and more stable style of play, and the great improvement after half a season, Liu Mang is very sad. These geniuses really improve too fast!
Unhappy, Liu Mang pressed on Parker, pressing to defend!
"Don't be like this brother!" Parker was taken aback by Liu Mang's defense, and quickly passed the ball to Daniels.

Although Parker was a bit faster than Liu Mang, he was definitely not as fast as Liu Mang in holding the ball. Facing this guy who scored 50 points in the All-Star rookie game, he immediately passed the ball.

Daniels can't play as a starter, but he can still play as a substitute. In the future, when he will serve as a substitute for the general Arenas, he will be at his peak, averaging 10 points and 4 assists per game.

Good physical fitness and good skills, this is why Daniels was selected at the No. 1997 position in 4, except that his playing was a bit rough...

Daniels took two sudden steps and couldn't get away from Jason Terry, facing Jason Terry with a mid-range stop jumper!

"bang"

There is not much suspense. Duncan was entangled by Muhammad and Newbell. He didn't fight and turned back to the defense. Rahim beat Malik Rose to grab a defensive rebound.

The counterattack was impossible. Except for Malik Rose who hit the rebound, everyone else in the Spurs had already returned to defense. With a clear goal, Malik Rose, who had a strong rushing ability, was left to delay the Hawks' counterattack. The others, including Duncan, had no chance to hit the offensive rebound.

Liu Mang received the ball from Raheem and slowly pushed forward. He glanced at Popovich with a stinky face on the sidelines who owed him 100 million, this old fox.

Liu Mang advances to the frontcourt, and Raheem is in good form recently. Relying on his increasingly strong offensive ability to contain the defense, he has more and more assists. He wants to hand it over to Raheem. As a result, Raheem has no advantage in competing for position with Malik Rose!Malik Rose fought Raheem desperately like he was in a fight.

Foul it is!And it was a double foul!

Liu Mang saw that Raheem and Malik Rose were slapping each other's necks with their arms, but the referee turned a blind eye...

Well, Liu Mang came beyond the three-point line, and it was Daniels who defended him with another vicious face. As soon as Liu Mang took a step outside the three-point line, Daniels stuck up.

This bastard!
Liu Mang looked at Daniels' ferocious face as if he was smiling, and really wanted to punch him!

This disgusting guy, just when Liu Mang was close to him and was about to speed up, took advantage of the fact that the two of them were close to the referee's blind spot, and punched Liu Mang in the stomach!
Margot!
Can't be tricked!The other party just wanted to irritate himself by making a pair!
Liu Mang beckoned for a pick-and-roll, and while Daniels was blocked by Newbell, he rushed straight into the lane.

Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to hide!Playing basketball is not purely based on the body and dirty, the brain is also very important.

Liu Mang entered the inside line, Raheem and Jason Terry pulled out after Liu Mang came in, and Muhammad also reached the bottom line and was ready to rush in for an alley at any time.

Only Duncan was left under the basket, and Liu Mang plunged into the interior. Duncan's defensive awareness is too good, super static physical fitness, use of wingspan, excellent mobility, and everything is just right. After entering the interior, Liu Mang felt that he would be capped from any angle.

So, Liu Mang also thought about it, and ran towards Duncan, throwing with his right hand!

really!

Duncan accurately predicted the angle of Liu Mang's shot, and stretched out his hand to interfere. Although Liu Mang tried his best to avoid Duncan's left hand and threw it out, the ball was too crooked.

However, Liu Mang's goal was accomplished. He hit Duncan first before throwing the ball.

The referee whistled and Duncan made a defensive foul!
On Duncan's side, just now he felt a little excited in his heart and felt that he was on guard. As for the hit by Liu Mang, well, it was almost like tickling, so it was a foul!

Duncan stared at the referee, his eyes were wide open, and a murderous look filled the air.

Suddenly, Duncan sensed Liu Mang's gaze looking at him, and suddenly withdrew his vicious eyes, and smiled at Liu Mang...

That smile... seemed to be trying to express his friendliness, because Duncan felt that the referee made a mistake and had nothing to do with Liu Mang.

Seeing Duncan's smile, Liu Mang thought of that classic photo of Duncan...

"Beep..."

Suddenly, the assistant referee behind Liu Mang blew his whistle and made a T sign to Duncan!
Duncan was still expressing his kindness to Liu Mang, when he suddenly heard the whistle, he looked up to see what happened again, which of his teammates was going to fight with the other party again?do not!Let’s just play happily, why fight, why cause so much trouble, people want fans, want to become a big star...

Uh... Duncan saw that the referee made a T and pointed to his side. Obviously, Duncan felt that the T was not for Liu Mang who was standing and preparing for free throws and did nothing...

That means he was called a technical foul?
"Watt?" Duncan looked at the referee with an incredulous expression!
