Chapter 421 419. A Strong Man Like You Is Needed

Stop it!
Ratliff is indeed a Dinghaishenzhen!
Liu Mang received a pass from Ratliff and had no chance to make a fast break. The Nets returned to defense very quickly. However, with Ratliff around, Liu Mang had no intention of using fast breaks as a conventional offensive weapon. Without Jason Terry, Liu Mang really had no one to launch a charge together.

After being transported to the frontcourt, Liu Mang made a gesture, C tactic, a new tactic during training to prepare for the Nets a few days ago, to put it bluntly, it is a copy tactic!
Look at the Hawks' starting lineup today, does it feel very similar to the Nets?
An aggressive power forward, a traditionally sized center, a small forward and shooting guard who can shoot threes, and a point guard who is a passer!
Raheem and Prince opened up the space more thoroughly than Kittles and Jefferson did.

Shooting is not Raheem's regular scoring method, but because of the small number of shots, Raheem only takes one three-pointer per game, but his shooting percentage is as high as 1%.

When Ratliff went to the pick-and-roll for Raheem and Muhammad the pick-and-roll for Prince, Kidd was going to curse!

Also learn tactics on the spot!This must have been premeditated!This guy is still so mean and shameless in the second grade!
Ratliff's generous body blocked Jefferson to death. Liu Mang showed off his maneuvers again and lobbed the ball to lead the lead. Raheem squeezed away from Collins, who was changing defense, and rushed to the middle distance to receive the ball.
Liu Mang received the ball and shot it with a sniper!Toss the ball to the hoop before Kenyon Martin can get to it...

Liu Mang also entered!Same tactics, same ugly shooting position!

Liu Mang blew his gun finger while running back, and just wanted to pretend to say "Jason is exactly what you said, the three-pointer is really easy", when he saw Kittles, Kenyon Martin, and Jefferson coming down three lines!

Depend on!
Liu Mang found out that he had been tricked!
Looking back, Kidd picked up the ball and threw it directly to the frontcourt!
Liu Mang cursed secretly, and returned to defense with Prince, wanting to fight for where the ball will land.

But the tacit understanding of the Nets must be perfect. Kidd's passing accuracy is not worse than Liu Mang's, or even better. Experience is a good thing. Kittles receives the ball.

For Kenyon Martin who can play like Stoudemire, Liu Mang really feels that Kidd is terrible!The most important thing is this awareness of seizing the opportunity to counterattack immediately after the defense fails, and that kind of excellent prediction, Kidd is really terrifying!
Liu Mang still remembers last year's Eastern Conference Finals, when he had a tense match against the Nets, and even had a small advantage at the beginning, but it was like this every time. The Nets would always hold the score firmly, which made the Eagles feel uneasy.

This is what the Nets are best at. Just like Takumi Fujiwara in the initial text, when the team's overall talent is mediocre, they use this method of closely following the opponent to torture the opponent to defeat the opponent's psychology.
Although Liu Wei doesn't like the Nets' style of play very much, this way of attacking counterattacks with all their strength, it's easy to score when they counterattack, but it consumes too much for the counterattack vanguard. Compared with the normal running and bombing of the Hawks' own unique cavalry tactics, the consumption of the unique cavalry tactics of the Eagles is even greater.

But this is the only way for the Nets to be strong. These players can also have the glory of reaching the Finals for two consecutive years that most superstars can't feel in their lifetime. It can't be said that it is right or wrong, but a big man like Kenyon Martin is used as a counterattack forward, which consumes a lot of body.

Liu Mang received Prince's serve and slowly advanced, but the rhythm was still controlled by Kidd!

Defensive counterattack, forcing the opponent to fall into a positional battle, and then counterattack, repeatedly killing the score, this is Kidd's rhythm!
Thinking of Kidd taking advantage of the obviously unfavorable situation just now to control the rhythm, Liu Mang felt like Alexander!

Liu Mang dribbled the ball from outside the three-point line, still using the same tactics and the same style of play, the iconic Nets offensive routine of positional warfare.

The match between the Eagles and the Nets has habitually reached a stalemate quickly after the opening!

……

After the first quarter, the Eagles and the Nets scored 24 to 23, and the Eagles led the Nets by one point.

Charles Barkley, who was in the TNT duo who was commenting on the game, scolded Liu Mang for being shameless. In his opinion, this despicable tactic was definitely thought up by this second-year guy!Because this has never been the case before.

Liu Mang couldn't hear what Barkley said. If he did, he might say thank you. By the way, he mentioned that O'Neal has won three championships.

During the previous tactical training, Coach Kruger always arranged offensive tactics according to the defense of the Nets. He always felt that something was wrong. Thinking about it carefully, wasn’t it like this in last year’s finals, and then was eliminated by the opponent 4-1.

Coach Byron Scott may not work as a head coach, but he is quite good as a defensive assistant coach. When he was a defensive assistant coach for Kidd and Paul, regardless of the Heat in the 01-02 season and the Pistons in the 07-08 season at the same stage, Coach Byron Steck's defensive system ranked first in the league's overall defensive efficiency.

It might not be feasible to rely on preset offensive tactics to deal with the Nets. Although the Eagles have three eaglets, none of them have the ability of O'Neal and Kobe.

Sure enough, if you have anything to do, just find the second-year guy!

Liu Wei saw that the Nets also had a positional offensive strategy, and thought of the sentence that he thought was the coolest when he watched Tianlong back then, and decisively applied it.

When it is difficult to defeat the opponent's defense, why not create a little headache for the opponent?

How to play the Nets' positional battle, how to play on their side, let Coach Byron Scott have a headache, is he trying to figure out a way to defend against his own offensive tactics?Or figure out a way to defend against your own offensive tactics?

So, when Byron Scott was still hesitating with a headache, after the first quarter, the Eagles used their ground to counter the Nets' counterattack, and still had a slight advantage after the first quarter.

Kidd looked at the rookie who had turned into a second-year player on the opposite bench, and hated him so much!

He is also a defensive master himself. If he wants to defend against his offensive tactics, there is no way. After all, he knows best the offensive tactics he plays every day.

However, he really didn't dare to think of a way to restrain the opponent, so he could only attack each other like this!
Kidd saw the sinister intentions of the opponent's sophomore, just to make him dare not make a move, take advantage of his mentality of not daring to expose the weakness of his team to other opponents, and dare not defend to the death!
If this is the playoffs, Kidd can't control so much, but when he was still competing with the Pistons for the first place in the Eastern Conference in the regular season, he really didn't dare to defend his offensive routine like this.

Liu Mang sensed the hateful gaze from the Nets' bench, and turned his head towards the Nets' bench, pulling his lower eyelids and making a grimace.

Surprisingly, Liu Mang is a film killer. The camera was pointed right at him, captured his grimace, and then moved in the direction of the grimace to capture Kidd's hateful expression. The fans in front of the TV were overjoyed.

Wicked people have their own grind!Kidd's reputation was not good at first, and his reputation was ruined in the Dallas 3J era. Recently, he started to improve after reaching the finals. However, many people still have the impression that he is jealous of women. Watching Liu reckless Kidd, the fans in front of the TV think it's funny.

Lakers fans, including those who have always been at odds with Liu Mang, were overjoyed seeing this scene.

In Kidd's displeasure, the second quarter is about to start.

……

The intermission was almost over, and before going to play, Liu Mang called Barnes aside.

"What's the matter, Boss Ace!" Barnes was indeed a social person, and his titles were very unique.

But this "boss" made Liu Mang very happy, and Liu Mang ordered: "Matt, you go up and guard against that weak chicken!"

"Weak chicken? Boss Ace, are you talking about Kidd?" Barnes was frightened. Kidd is a weak chicken?

"That's right, he is a weak chicken. Matt, you may not know it when you first joined the league. That guy is a weak chicken. He is a weak chicken who dare not fight back when his wife beats him at home. This kind of weak man needs a strong man like you to teach him a lesson!"

Liu Mang started talking nonsense again, the key is that some gossip media broke the news that Kidd was beaten until he wore only a pair of underpants and was locked out of the door, which made Barnes have to believe what Liu Mang said.

Moreover, Barnes did just enter the league. As a rookie who was a late pick in the second round, Barnes only played 5 times for the Hawks. Today is the first time he has played in the regular rotation. So I thought this matter is well known in the NBA circle, and then I really took it seriously.

Barnes's brain circuit is quite peculiar. In his opinion, being beaten by his wife is a sign of weakness, and being weak in everything that is weak is a sign of weakness...

Weak chicken?

Isn't bullying weak chickens the favorite thing for gangsters to do?

fuck him!

Kidd sneezed as soon as he played, did he catch a cold?
……

In the first quarter, the two teams played the entire first quarter with double insiders. On the one hand, they want to defend as much as possible in positional warfare, and on the other hand, they want to strengthen the offensive in positional warfare and hold back the firepower of the opponent's counterattack.

So the Eagles allowed Ratliff to play the entire first quarter, and the Nets allowed Collins and Kenyon Martin to maintain a high height inside to avoid being directly used by the Eagles to use their height to play high and high, and they also played the entire first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Eagles sent out a small lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Boozer, and Newbell.

With Prince, Chris Crawford gradually became cold. White players who rely on physical fitness will always cool down quickly. This kind of game requires impact and grinding defense. Coach Kruger called Barnes back from the Development League. Instead, Chris Crawford put on a suit and was not included in the active list.

The Nets sent Kidd, Anthony Johnson, Rodney Rogers, Aaron Williams, and Brian Scalabrine.

The Nets took the lead, Kidd pushed forward, and found that it was not the damn second-year guard who was guarding him, but a rookie.

Kidd was very annoyed, that bastard didn't come to defend him!Instead, use a rookie!Faced with this situation, Kidd took this as a provocation from that second-year guy!
In Kidd's world view, the coach is equivalent to a defensive assistant. Coach Kruger is responsible for wiping Liu Mang's ass. The tactics are arranged by the second grader, who is provoking him!
Just when Kidd was trying hard to calm down, the rookie with a fierce face said: "Weak chicken who was played by his wife, come on, one-on-one!"
