From today on is the king

Chapter 339 337. Is Ace a Malone fan?
If Liu Mang wants to make a foul, there is a gap between him and the future king of JDZ. Ci Deng's body is too strong. Liu Mang can't rush in and make a foul like him. He can only rely on his speed, flexibility and shooting to cheat fouls.

So brainstorming is needed!
Just now the head coach called him out of the locker room out of nowhere, asked him a question, and then let him go with a strange expression. Liu Mang felt a little baffled.

Regardless of him, Liu Mang found Jason Terry and Raheem, the two players with the third and first free throws in the team, and asked them about their foul-making skills.

In the Hawks, Raheem made the most free throws in the regular season, averaging 7.6 per game, Liu Mang was second with 7.3 per game, and Jason Terry was third with 4.6 per game. The combined free throws of the three can catch up to the sum of most teams except the Lakers.

It all depends on the birth of a certain rookie...

"Foul? Go inside, they can't stop them, they can only pull me down, when I don't feel good and I don't have a chance to dunk or layup, I just play like this..."

Hearing Rahim's words, Liu Mang resolutely ignored them.

What a strong body!The explosive power is amazing!The violence of the ball is amazing!

"Me? If the opponent's defender is not thrown away when I catch the ball and shoot, I will pretend to shoot and wait for the opponent to jump up and dodge before shooting. If there is no shot angle, I will imitate you and hit him..."

Did you make a foul or did you learn from my uncle?

Liu Mang felt that he didn't get anything useful from these two teammates, as expected... Lonely and invincible!Those who can draw fouls these days...no one can hit!
Although I asked two star teammates and didn’t get any good advice, the Eagles only scored in double figures with 4 points. Following Liu Mang’s scoring in double figures, Raheem inevitably dropped a bit compared to before the All-Star Weekend. He averaged 23.3 points per game.

After Jason Terry and Liu Manglang got up, their scoring increased, averaging 22.6 points per game. In addition to Liu Mang averaging 19.6 points per game, there is Muhammad's daily 11+10.

That is, there are no other scorers to ask.

But, Liu Mang got a hint from Jason Terry.

If you make a foul with the ball, the opponent must be prepared, so let's play without the ball!

Catch the opponent by surprise!
……

……

Back in the second half of the game, the two teams continued to play the main force, and no one wanted to take the lead in the third quarter, the transitional period when it was easiest to lay the foundation for victory.

Generally, strong teams, if it is not the kind of Lakers that can fly with waves, will establish their advantages in the third quarter, and it is normal to widen the point difference in one fell swoop.

The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Rahim, Newbell, and Muhammad.

The main lineup sent by the Trail Blazers is a bit sloppy, Little Flying Squirrel, Ruben Patterson, Pippen, Bunche Wells, Rasheed Wallace!
Originally, the third quarter was supposed to be Pippen's rest time for the whole quarter, and then came up to play the critical moment in the fourth quarter, but Coach Cheeks didn't expect Pippen to ask for the third quarter!This is not in line with the impression that Pippen, who is now the number one health care concept, gave Coach Cheeks the impression that he has taken over the Trail Blazers for almost a season this season.

So far this year, Pippen's playing time has fallen to a career low, averaging 28 minutes per game.

Originally, Coach Cheeks wanted to send the main lineup in the third quarter to be a combination of Flying Squirrel, Kobe Terminator, and Stick, but when Pippen wanted to play, Coach Cheeks thought of the Eagles' cavalry company lineup, so he had a whim, and put Bunch Wells, who played like a power forward, at power forward, and let Rasheed Wallace play center!
Coach Cheeks is only in his 40s. He used to be an NBA player, a 76ers star, an 83-year champion, a one-time All-Star starter, three-time All-Star substitute, and a Hall of Fame player who has been on the 5th All-Defensive Team and [-] times.

Coach Cheeks got his only championship ring from Magic Johnson.

Humans are strange creatures. What we don’t have is always the best and what we want the most.

At that time, Cheeks, who was also a point guard and played against the Magician, was very envious of the Magician's gorgeous offensive style of play, not that he was 1.8 meters tall and had to defend the opponent's strongest perimeter, and he really became the best defensive player at the point guard position...

So after retiring, Coach Cheeks rejected a lot of offers from Eastern teams, came to the Western offensive team to find a job, and was about to enter the playoffs happily.

Seeing the Eagles' first-generation five-minor lineup, Coach Cheeks had a whim and did what he said.

After the start of the second half, the Blazers attacked.

Looking at the Blazers' lineup, the Eagles were a little dumbfounded, the opponent's lineup was much smaller than their own!Three less than two meters!
Who is the power forward?
Pippen?

When Bunch Wells sat in the low post and leaned against Newbell to ask for the ball, Newbell felt humiliated and pushed up hard...it didn't move!
After receiving the pass from Little Momonga, Bunch Wells carried Newbell on his shoulders and slammed into him with a sudden step. Newbell didn't block it!Bunch Wells turned around and cut to the basket before Muhammad came over to defend and smashed the ball into the basket!

Poor Cool, humiliated!
Maybe the defensive end is really not focused, and he is also arguing with the management over the tens of millions of contracts. The season is almost over and the contract has not been renewed in advance, but Bunch-Wells is too strong on the offensive end!
Like a poor man's Charles Barkley! With a height of 1.9 meters [-], playing the power forward position will not suffer!
"Yes!"

Coach Cheeks on the sidelines shook his fist vigorously. He was one of the representatives of passionate players when he was a player. He never suppressed his positive emotions.

It really works!

With a small lineup, one of the two insiders on my side will always have a perfect chance!
The Hawks' Muhammad's rough defensive effect is always good. It is difficult for Rasheed Wallace and Bunch Wells to beat him, but if Ratliff is not there, then another power forward who comes up will definitely not be able to stop him from practicing inside. This is Coach Cheeks' idea.

Not only did they play aggressively on the offensive end, but the Blazers lineup also quickly returned to defense. Liu Mang just received the ball from Muhammad, and the opponent has already passed halftime.

After waiting for Jason Terry to come over, Liu Mang handed the ball to Jason Terry and played without the ball by himself.

Although the Blazers attack aggressively and return to defense quickly, defense at the basket is a problem.

Liu Mang pulled to the left bottom corner. After Newbell came over from the left basket, he frantically got stuck with Bunch Wells. He was more than ten centimeters taller. After Newbell grabbed the position on the edge of the three-second zone, Jason Terry immediately passed the ball.

You have explosive power, buddy has height!

The next round was similar to the last round, with Bunche Wells winning in the low post again.

When it came time for the Eagles to attack again, Liu Mang still gave the ball to Jason Terry, and Newbell asked for the ball in the low post again.

The fans did not expect that the critical third quarter of this game would turn into a confrontation between two supporting power forwards!
Liu Mang continued to squat in the low post on the left side. At this time, Ruben Patterson, who was defending Liu Mang, had already rushed in to double-team him. Cool man is worthy of being cool man. Cool means calmness.

At this time, coach Cheeks’ whimsical loophole came. The Eagles cavalry company can play a defensive counterattack. First of all, they must defend.

But how many teams have a power forward with his low-post ability?The top power forwards in the league all take a lot of shots, and both Newbell and Muhammad can quickly serve and counterattack if they make a shot or not.

And another insider of the Blazers, Rasheed Wallace, just leaned against Muhammad on the other side of the basket like that, and didn't help to defend or anything, just staring like that.

Without the urging of Sabonis, the big brother, Rasheed Wallace is really difficult to be active in defense. The beginning of the season was fine, but as the season progressed, he just stood there. This year Rasheed Wallace has a lot less technical fouls, because there is less dissatisfaction with being called fouls when actively defending.

Rasheed Wallace has "only" 21 technical fouls this season. Compared with last season's 32 times and last season's 40 times in NBA history, last season's 37 times the second highest in NBA history is much lower.

But don't worry, he will be promoted again immediately after meeting a team that emphasizes defense...

……

Because the Blazers are also a small lineup, the rhythm of the Eagles has changed and it has become a down position.

Playing in the low post, the opponent has no big center, which gave the Eagles a head start. Rahim and Newbell, two players with backs, came to the low post in turn to wreak havoc, and the Blazers' defense was forced to shrink.

This made it extremely difficult for the Blazers to chase points. Not only did the point difference not shrink, but it reached 14 points, and it was about to break through 15 points!

When the Eagles attacked again, Liu Mang still handed the ball to Jason Terry and went to the bottom corner to wait.

This time it was Raheem's turn in singles. The Blazers switched defenses, and Bunch Wells, who had a bigger tonnage, defended. The big stick Bunch Wells weighed more than Pippen, who was seven or eight centimeters taller than him. It was not just luck to ravage the low post in the playoffs. He was too lazy to defend the perimeter, but he was very focused on defending the low post.

But Raheem weighed ten kilograms more than Bunch Wells!

As soon as Raheem got the ball, the Blazers' defense shrank in.

Rahim immediately assigned to Liu Mang in the bottom corner, and Liu Mang picked up the ball and wanted to shoot!
Pippen was very upset to see Liu Mang shooting three-pointers all the time, so he rushed towards Liu Mang. Liu Mang shot a false shot, and Pippen flew up!

not good!

Pippen saw that Liu Mang was just pretending, and thought he was going to miss another three-pointer. At this time, Liu Mang took a step sideways to shoot and he couldn't interfere with it at all.

This time Pippen jumped much higher than usual. He was very happy at first, but now he regretted it because he reacted too fast and jumped too high and too anxious!
But is Liu Mang the kind of person who will shake others away and then move laterally to shoot?

Of course not!
Liu Mang has always been the kind of tough guy who dares to face the dripping blood!
Liu Mang did get up again after shaking his shot, but instead of heading towards a place where no one was around, he hit Pippen in the air!

Before hitting Pippen, Liu Mang let out a scream of "Ah..." and Pippen couldn't dodge in the air. Liu Mang bumped into Pippen and threw the ball towards the basket blindly.

The referee whistles!

Three-point foul!

The bald Crawford is so helpless, he despises and despises Liu Mang, but the referees must strictly follow the rules. They watch the game differently from the fans. They only look at the action and nothing else. A foul is a foul.

Watching Liu Mang go to the free throw line, Pippen walked to the sideline with his head in his arms. At this time, Coach Cheeks was about to replace Pippen. Suddenly, Pippen heard something: "Rashid, the pensioner of your team is going to end the game. How many free throws did he give me? Eight, I really need to thank him, right?"

Rasheed Wallace was "concentrated" waiting for rebounds. Although he has not rebounded many times, the main reason is that after he came to the Trail Blazers, he had a hardworking and huge Sabonis card.

At this time, Liu Mang suddenly spoke to him, Rasheed Wallace thought it was true, and couldn't help laughing.

As for what kind of joke Rasheed Wallace was poked at, Liu Mang didn't know. He didn't expect Rasheed Wallace to give any friendly response during the game.

Unexpectedly, Rasheed Wallace laughed.

Moreover, with a smile, he glanced inexplicably at Crawford who decisively whistled Pippen for fouling four times...

Rasheed Wallace's smile is wretched with viciousness, vicious with a little heroism, and heroic with a sense of obscenity and mockery in the end...

This kind of smile is similar to the idiot No. 2500 who didn't want to be named after retiring and found out that he was cheated out of 21 million dollars by his agent...

So, Liu Mang's long-awaited bald Crawford's technical foul on an evil No. 21 did not appear, but appeared at this time.

"beep"

The referee bald Crawford whistled and made a T gesture to Rasheed Wallace, a technical foul!
Rasheed Wallace's smile froze on his face...

"Ah...ha...ha...ah?" Rasheed Wallace couldn't believe it!
Staring at the referee, he was about to go up to argue, but the bald Crawford was afraid that he couldn't help giving another T and had already gone to the technical table to confirm the foul. Rasheed Wallace was about to yell loudly when Bunch Wells covered his mouth.

The Trail Blazers players are really tired enough to prevent Rasheed Wallace from getting sent off too many technical fouls.

The fans at the scene were originally cheering for Liu Mang. In addition to Pippen's 9 free throws and the other 5 free throws, Liu Mang has created 14 free throw opportunities in this game.

Although shameless, the fans have thickened their skin and cheered when they should.

Even laughing can be called a technical foul?This is the same feeling Liu Mang gave fans when he heard that Duncan was called a technical foul for laughing.

At this time, Rasheed Wallace and the bald referee came out. Although the fans were surprised, they really wanted to laugh!What should I do, although I really want to hold back and feel that this is very impolite, but I just can't help it!

……

The cheers of the audience turned into a noisy vegetable market, everyone was discussing and laughing about the technical foul, and Pippen on the sidelines was angry again!

With his sanity declining, he strongly demanded that he not be replaced, he wanted to go up and continue fighting!

Opponents ridiculed, teammates laughed at and got called a technical foul, how could Pippen stand it!
Liu Mang changed from three free throws to four free throws. Today, his free throw feel is really good. He made all four free throws. In addition to the previous 11 free throws, Liu Mang has made all 15 free throws today!
Only halfway through the third quarter, Liu Mang already scored 13 points in a single quarter!

And the scoring continues!

When the rookie feels good, Raheem and Jason Terry are willing to give him the ball. The Eagles trio have never been jealous of each other because of the number of shots and high scores.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Blazers took the lead in replacing center Dale Davis. Coach Cheeks' whim failed.

The Eagles also replaced Ratliff to replace Newbell, and the two teams continued to grind their positions.

Liu Mang made another successful foul, which brought a lot of vigilance to Pippen. This kind of vigilance made Pippen start to hesitate in his excellent help defense today. With Dale Davis on the court, the Blazers were not afraid of Raheem going to the low post. The success rate of Raheem going to the crowded inside is not high, so the Blazers don't need to shrink the defense.

This made Liu Mang, without the ball, even though he shot three-pointers and was closely guarded by Ruben Patterson, but Liu Mang hesitated after the pick-and-roll and cut to the basket to help Pippen. He was afraid of being fouled. Liu Mang made 3 consecutive cuts and layups. He scored 19 points in a single quarter!

It was the Eagles attack again, with more than two minutes left in the third quarter, the score was 96 to 78, and the Eagles led by 19 points!The Hawks played another super-high scoring game. This kind of scoring can only appear when playing against an offensive team in the West.

Seeing that after chasing a quarter of the game, the point difference was about to be opened to 20 points. The key is that Pippen saw the statistics of the rookie on the big screen, and he had already scored 19 points in a single quarter, which made Pippen unacceptable!
Successful tactics always have to continue to play. Raheem holds the ball high on the left side of the free throw line, Liu Mang circles from the right bottom corner to the top arc, and then uses Ratliff’s off-ball pick-and-roll to cut into the inside line. Raheem quickly passes the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang brought some pressure, so he wouldn't go back to the basket for three consecutive layups before.

Rasheed Wallace's help defense now...something like a 33 at 23 years old?Just akimbo.

Pippen couldn't accept that Liu Mang scored again, and rushed over to block Liu Mang who had already taken off!
This time the cover came a bit insidiously, it came from behind Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang said that you are a little bitch, the young master has been paying attention to you for a long time!You finally came!Waited to hit the rim three times, the fourth is still waiting for you!
Liu Mang had already noticed it when he jumped up for a layup. When Pippen pounced to block the shot, he leaned slightly behind him, following the strength of Pippen's pounce...

Another familiar call, another familiar whistle, Pippen exploded on the spot!

After Liu Mang made another two free throws and opened the point difference to 20 points, Pippen really exploded.

Pippen was already playing well. Except for too many fouls, he performed extremely well in the second and third quarters on the offensive end. If it weren't for his 13 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, the point difference would have been stretched by the Eagles' crazy offense.

Pippen, who had 27 points and 13 assists before the end of the three quarters, didn't know how he could do better. He wanted to single out Liu Mang, and pay Liu Mang a foul!
I can't hold my breath anymore!
Pippen wanted to serve directly and advanced by himself.

Seeing Liu Mang defending beyond the three-point line, Pippen sneered.

Liu Mang is also ready to defend. Today Pippen showed too much strength because of the manic potion. If it weren't for the Blazers' overall defense because of the loss of Sabonis, it would have been unable to compare with last season, let alone last season. Pippen has the opportunity to lead the Blazers to victory with this peak tail strength.

Pippen faced Liu Mang from the left!
Although Pippen is not left-handed, he has practiced left-handed breakthroughs because his substitute was left-handed and inspired him, and left-handed breakthroughs were difficult to prevent.

Liu Mang defended against Pippen several times in this game and has been unable to defend well, because it is too awkward!I have never encountered such a breakthrough trajectory.

Liu Mang tried his best to stick up to Pippen, but the awkward feeling made him rush a little too far, and rushed too far!
Liu Mang yelled inwardly that it was bad!At this time, Pippen can break through the middle without interference by turning around and changing directions!
Why do defenders always block the middle and let the opponent's breakthrough hand enter from the bottom line?

It is because the breakthrough in the middle will directly face the reasonable collision zone, and it is difficult for the assisting defenders at the basket to give real interference in the assisting defense. Most of the dunks are opponents who did not block the frontal breakthrough.

The bottom line breakthrough is relatively farther away, and it is easier to give the inside time to prepare for defense.

Of course Pippen made an instant decision to change direction!
at this time!

Pippen suddenly felt his legs go soft!
"Ding... the effect of the manic potion is over, and Scottie Pippen's physical strength is approaching the critical point."

Pippen wanted to change direction, but his body couldn't handle it anymore!
If it was the peak period, for example, the 27-year-old Pippen, who used the manic potion to last the whole runaway state, was fine, but the 36-year-old Pippen...had been in the manic state for an hour, and his physical exhaustion was exhausted!
Pippen changed his body and couldn't keep up with the shot. He staggered and almost fell to the ground. The ball was out of his hand!

Liu Mang turned around and picked up the ball, and counterattacked!
At this time, Pippen gave Liu Mang a hand!
"beep"

The referee whistled and Pippen made a foul!
Not only that, there is still a question about the ball, that is, whether there are other defenders in front of the two people who are on the extension line of the free throw line, especially Liu Mang who picked up the ball and took a step. If there are any, it is an ordinary foul.

If there is no one, this is a physical foul!

But no matter what, Pippen committed six crimes!
Liu Mang was still worried at the beginning, the point difference was already 20 points, whether Pippen would defend him next, and whether Pippen, who made 5 fouls, would continue to stay on the court, because if Pippen was replaced, the rest of the Blazers would definitely be replaced, which meant that the Blazers were ready to give up the game.

Unexpectedly, Pippen's sixth foul came like this!
This is really lucky luck!
The referee was watching the replay to determine whether it was a physical violation or an ordinary foul, and he hadn't made a gesture that Pippen would be sent off. He was professional and rigorous, which is the practice of the NBA.

It's a pity that no physical foul was given. Jason Terry was too conscious of running backwards, so he took Fong Shu over first, and Fong Squirrel's head happened to be ahead of Liu Mang.

So it was just an ordinary foul, because the number of fouls reached, Liu Mang went to the free throw line again!

16 free throws!Breaking Liu Mang's previous record of 15 free throws in a single game!

Beautiful!
Liu Reck looked at Pippen who was sent off by the referee and was sent off to sit on the bench. Although a little embarrassed, Liu Reck said loudly: "Hey, Scottie, the postman is at work today!"

People who heard this voice were very surprised, these words...

Depend on!
Ace is actually a Malone fan!

No wonder today seems to have been "targeting" Pippen fouls!
The fans recalled that Pippen's six fouls were all played by Liu Mang alone!

This is really abnormal!

Pippen was also surprised, this guy is actually a Malone fan?It's even more annoying!
Malone is also one of the players Pippen hates!

The fans at the scene passed the news ten to ten, anyway, it is "real" that Liu Mang is a Ma Long fan!Otherwise, how could such a thing be done!

But... It seems that in the previous news interview, Ma Long hated this rookie very much!

　One chapter is worth three chapters of others, only hard work, I feel good today, but I still go to bed early, I beg for a recommendation ticket for tomorrow, Xiaofeng hereby thanks~
