Chapter 337 335. The True Effect of Manic Potion

Just over a minute after Liu Mang came up, Pippen took two fouls and was replaced...

With Pippen off, the Blazers' offense is mainly focused on Kemp's insiders. Kemp can perform well in the first few minutes of each game when his physical strength is still good, and his singles efficiency is good.

However, with Pippen off, Liu Mang stopped pressing his speed and counterattacked continuously. The Eagles went 10-7, widening the point difference to 13 points and leading the Blazers 35-22 after the first quarter.

……

The second quarter started soon.

For the Hawks, Liu Mang led the team, Jason Terry, Raheem, and Muhammad took a rest, and the other four sent were Emmanuel, Chris Crawford, Newbell, and Ratliff.

On the Blazers side, Pippen played again, which relieved Liu Mang. The other four were Steve Kerr, Mitchell Butler, Zach Randolph, and Dell Davis.

The Blazers attacked, and Pippen advanced with the ball. The Trail Blazers lineup is the best rotation lineup they have gradually found, using Pippen's organizational ability to attack.

After the two fouls were replaced after the first quarter, Pippen immediately made a comeback in the second quarter, but finally calmed down.

Although his mind was still filled with displeasure and hostility towards Liu Mang, his mind became much clearer.

At his age, he can't fight hard, and he doesn't have as many small tricks as the opponent. Pippen feels that he is already a good foul maker. His biggest characteristic on the defensive end is flopping, but compared with the rookie in front of him, he finds that his acting skills are not enough.
For the first time in two years, Pippen wants to win so much, he wants to beat that evil rookie!
After the start of the second quarter, Pippen concentrated on organizing the offense. He didn't have too much physical contact with Liu Mang on the defensive end.

Pippen, who went all out to organize the offense, sorted out the Blazers' offense in an orderly manner, Randolph's low position, Dell Davis' pick-and-roll air cut, Steve Kerr's open shot...

Pippen sent out 3 assists in just a few minutes, and a second pass to an open teammate after a pass to a teammate.

The Blazers lineup is really talented on the offensive end. Even though Liu Mang kept scoring outside the three-point line and the three-second zone like a runaway husky, the Blazers were not only not able to draw the score after half a quarter.

Liu Mang scored 7 points in the first quarter, 12 points in the second quarter, and was about to break 20 points in the half, but he was so desperate!
Although Pippen was still guarding him, he only defended with his eyes.

Calm down and don't fight with Liu Mang, and want to use the game victory to defeat the opponent's Pippen in a roundabout way. Liu Mang said that he can't make a foul!

……

The second quarter came to an official timeout, Liu Mang was replaced, Jason Terry and Raheem went up and continued to attack the opponent.

After the Blazers' old guys warmed up, it was difficult for the Eagles to defend, so they used offense to solve it. Jason Terry and Raheem were in good shape today, and they were not afraid to attack the Eagles.

Liu Mang looked at Pippen, who was drinking water on the bench next door, feeling a little anxious.

This guy really deserves to be a historical star!The mentality is really stable!Just say calm down.

Although the strength of the team is superior, even if Pippen organizes the offense calmly, the Blazers and the Eagles have a [-]-[-] offensive firepower, which is comparable.

Liu Mang didn't have much to worry about the outcome of the game. Except for Bunch Wells, the opponents had no ability to break through the stalemate, and Bunch Wells had nothing to do when he met Raheem. Raheem had the ability to suppress Bunch Wells in all directions.

Randolph is still a rookie, he can't make it to the rookie game, the flying mouse is old, the rookie is the peak, Rasheed Wallace can score in regular time, and there must not be so many open shots at critical moments.

As long as the Eagles survive the Blazers' strenuous period and wait for the Blazers to suffocate their efforts to overtake, the Eagles will not have a problem winning. Raheem and Jason Terry set up Liu Mang himself, and they all have the ability to score consecutively when they are anxious.

But Liu Mang was worried that the Blazers would be demoralized after the halftime break. What if he played for a few minutes in the second half and saw no hope of surrendering?
It's not that Liu Mang underestimated the Blazers' competitive spirit, but that the Blazers will soon have back-to-back games to play. If they are sure to lose this game, and the next opponent is the Hornets, even if Liu Mang is the head coach, he will carefully consider the choice.

……

In the 10th minute of the second quarter, the score was 45 to 56, with a difference of 11 points. Coach Maurice Cheeks felt that there was still hope. He wanted to reduce the difference to less than 10 points before halftime, so that the burden on the second half would not be so great.

Regardless of the difference between 9 points and 10 points, it is the same as when you buy something and feel that 998 is not 1000 yuan. 9 points make players feel that they are only behind by single-digit points, and they may catch up if they guard against it two or three times.

The Blazers replaced Little Flying Squirrel, Ruben Patterson, Pippen, Rasheed Wallace, and Dale Davis in the last 2 minutes before halftime.

Coach Kruger on the Hawks side saw the opponent calling a timeout, and knew that the opponent wanted to fight before halftime. Similarly, the Eagles also wanted to keep the point difference above 10 points, so they also replaced five main players.

Liu Mang understands very well, the foul must be committed as soon as possible!

It is impossible for him to deliberately blind a few shots to force the game to become anxious in order to complete the task. This is not in line with his character. He wants to win. He has a chance in this life and he does not want to lose again.

Let him deliberately lose the game for a star card?
nonexistent.

So take advantage of the time between the last 2 minutes of the first half and the beginning of the second half!

Originally, Liu Mang planned to use the manic potion on the referees, but he did not expect that Pippen was not so active in defense. The difference from Payton was too great. Pippen was really calm.

Can you not learn to be calm when you are teammates with a big troll like Jordan?

"Boss of the system, use manic potion on Pippen!"

Since you are not active, Mr. Batman, then I will help you to be active!Give you motivation!

At this moment, Liu Mang seems to feel that there are a pair of wings behind him, which is like an angel that motivates people, silently feeling his pretense by himself...

However, even if you pretend to be coercive in your heart, you may be struck by lightning...

"The host uses manic potion on Scott Pippen, and Scott Pippen's physical fitness temporarily improves, enters a state of excitement, and enters a state of rage. According to Scott Pippen's physical talent, the effect of the manic potion is the highest level. According to calculations, Scott Pippen returned to the state of the Rockets period."

"Ding... Scottie Pippen (manic state): ability value 85, offense 81, defense 87, three-pointer 63, mid-range shooting 81, layup 87, speed 89, strength 89..."

! ! ! !
Liu Mang was stunned!
Nima!

What a situation!

Liu Mang instantly fell from the highest point of self-worship in his heart!
Is this the effect of the manic potion on the player?
