From today on is the king

Chapter 438. 436. A new generation beats the old
Both teams have readjusted their emotions, and the Eagles players are very clear that they want to help Liu Mang against Reggie Miller!

On the Pacers side, it is natural to help the No. 1 Reggie Miller in team history to make the arrogant young man on the opposite side look good.

The Pacers replaced the main lineup again, with the strongest lineup of Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, O'Neal, and Brad Miller.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Boozer, and Muhammad.

17 to 12, the Eagles lead by 5 points.

Back from the timeout, the Hawks did not expect the Pacers to replace the team's core O'Neal and Artest in less than 2 minutes!

The Pacers attacked, and Tinsley advanced to the frontcourt. When he saw Liu Mang defending him, he was about to force him!

Liu Mang saw Tinsley's mad dog breakthrough posture, and quickly squeezed Tinsley, pushed Tinsley down the line, and forced Tinsley to pass the ball. Except for the close-range hook that broke through to the basket, Tinsley's other shooting methods were very ordinary.

Liu Mang pushed Tinsley to a big step outside the three-second zone. This position is not Tinsley's shooting area, and he has a height advantage. He wants to force Tinsley to make a mistake. At the same time, almost everyone else on the Eagles has advantages in speed and flexibility.

It can be said that Tinsley has rushed to this position, and the Eagles' defensive tactics have been very successful, which is likely to force Tinsley to make a pass error or make an irrational shot.

However, Tinsley didn't give up when he saw the strongest player in the same class defending as before. When he reached the bottom line, he leaned sideways against Liu Mang!

The second trick of Tinsley's only two scoring methods is to rely on hitting!

Tinsley is a slightly fat player with a large weight, 191 kg for a height of 92 cm.

After gaining weight in the summer, Liu Mang's weight is still 89 kg, which is not bad for his height. Of course, it can't compare with Wade's peak weight of more than 100 kg, but Westbrook's peak is only 91 kg.

Ke Tinsley has a full 92 kilograms!

Tinsley's impact is not outstanding, he has few free throws, and his shooting percentage has never exceeded 40.00% in the season, but his low post is very good!
Tinsley ruthlessly squeezed on Liu Mang, and Liu Mang suddenly realized that he really couldn't bear it!Tinsley squeezed a few steps and squeezed Liu Mang into the three-second zone!
Liu Mang reacted quickly, knowing that he couldn't stop it, so he changed his method and raised his hand high to cover Tinsley's shooting angle. Tinsley didn't flinch, and forced Liu Mang to shoot!

The ball hits the rim and misses!
Liu Mang turned around and grabbed the rebound. Although he was a little surprised that he got the rebound so easily, he immediately wanted to counterattack with the ball. He found that the opponent retreated quickly and didn't even compete for the offensive rebound. You must know that the Pacers now have an absolute physical advantage inside, two seven-foot insiders, while the Eagles have two short insiders.

Liu Mang had an ominous premonition. After advancing to the frontcourt, he found that the opponent's defense had changed!Instead of defending against him with Tinsley, who is fairly good in defense, he has increased his defense countless times and used Artest to defend him!
Liu Mang looked at Tinsley, who had an unrequited look on his inside face and was determined to be stuck with Raheem, Liu Mang's ominous premonition became even clearer!

But Liu Mang really didn't dare to pass to Raheem for singles immediately. There were too many people inside, and it was useless for Muhammad to open up space.

Liu Mang looked at Artest in front of him. Although Artest was a heavy defensive iron gate, before the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, he was also top-notch in speed, fast, and strong. He was called the version of LeBron James with bad hands. He will enter the strongest stage after coach Carlisle arrives. He averaged 20 points and 4 assists and won the best defensive player. He won't use it, he will only be used as a muscle gate that grinds to death the core of the opponent's striker.

Although Artest chatted happily with Liu Mang before the game, he also liked this opponent very much. Artest liked this kind of tough and even arrogant opponent. Of course, this kind of liking made Artest work harder to defend.

Liu Mang has always felt that Artest and James, who are strong and fast, shouldn't appear on the basketball court, can't they play football?Also, what about loving world peace?This rough action is not peaceful at all!
Liu Mang tried to change direction and break through Artest, but the effect was not good. Artest’s defensive anticipation ability is too strong, and his footwork is good. The key is that there are not many small moves, and they all rely on hard work. Although Bowen is the best defensive team, Liu Mang thinks that Artest’s defense is the strongest among small forwards today!It may even be the strongest in the alliance!
The best defensive player is really not covered!

Liu Mang couldn't make a breakthrough, so he beckoned Boozer to come over to play the pick-and-roll. Boozer came up to help Liu Mang block Artest. The moment Boozer made contact with Artest, who wanted to bypass the pick-and-roll, he felt as if someone had hit him with an iron bump. He understood how difficult it was for Raheem to play!

Liu Mang used the pick-and-roll to cut in, and Jermaine O'Neal, who was defended by Boozer, stood in front of Liu Mang, and Jermaine O'Neal leaned towards the right side, trying to prevent Liu Mang from breaking through on the right side.
Artest is coming!Jermaine O'Neill also rushed over!

Both Jermaine O'Neal and Artest ignored Boozer who took a step outside the top corner on the left side of the free throw line, and came to double-team Liu Mang!

Depend on!Liu Mang felt that these two were crazy!The ball was passed to Boozer at the first time, and Boozer made a precise two-pointer after receiving the ball.

Boozer's skills are indeed mature and comprehensive. If it weren't for his background, he should have been trained as a core insider. Watching Boozer make a two-pointer and then pretend that he has hair and a comb in his hand to comb his hair, Liu Mang is helpless. Such an important game, he is actually handsome. I knew I wouldn't teach this guy to celebrate.

Liu Mang hurried back to defend, trying to defend against the opponent's fast break, but found that the Pacers were slowly advancing.

Liu Mang watched Tinsley push forward, and this time took two steps back to defend. He found that Tinsley seemed to want to beat him hard. Although he didn't care about physical fitness, whether Liu Mang could defend against that kind of attack was a problem. The main reason was that he was likely to be fouled by the opponent!

Therefore, Liu Mang chose to take a step back to defend, as if you like to shoot or not.

Tinsley’s three-pointers are very good. Last season, he averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage was 20.00%. This season, he has averaged 1.8 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage is 17.00%. Put too much.

However, this time, Tinsley didn't make a shot, but broke through to Liu Mang, forcing physical contact with Liu Mang!

Liu Mang was forced to push Tinsley to the bottom line. In the same position, the same Tinsley relied on Liu Mang to fight again!

O'Neal and Brad Miller both rely on a wide shooting area to open up the space, and it's Tinsley who sits in the low post and relies on hitting!

This time Tinsley was even more vicious, squeezing Liu Mang to make a strong shot. Liu Mang wanted to rely on his wingspan advantage to block the shot and hit Tinsley!

The referee blows the whistle and the shot is fouled!
Liu Wei found that this kind of stunned young man who insisted on doing it like he was playing his life was really difficult to deal with!
Tinsley made two free throws to help the Pacers maintain the point difference at 5 points.

19 to 14, the Eagles lead by 5 point.

When the Eagles attacked again, Liu Mang faintly felt something was wrong in the last round, so this time Muhammad came up to pick and roll. As a result, a more troublesome situation appeared. When Brad Miller came out of the defense, he appeared directly behind Muhammad who was picking and rolling, and clamped Liu Mang in advance!

Artest blocked Liu Mang's retreat at the other end, and together with Muhammad, the four of them were stuffed together like a plate of black and white buns in a circle with a radius of half a meter!

Liu Mang wanted to pass the ball but couldn't pass it, wanted to dribble back, was forced to walk several steps in a row, and even hugged the ball!
The referee blows the whistle, and it is a walking violation!
Brad - Miller and Artest high-five to celebrate, the defense is successful!

Unlike Jermaine O'Neal, who is good at inside single defense and help defense blocking, Brad Miller is very good at defending pick-and-rolls. The key is that the Pacers have a clear goal!As long as Liu Mang is blocked, Brad Miller, an insider who relies purely on his brain and height, will defend better than O'Neal.

Liu Mang smashed the ball to the ground depressed, then handed it over to the referee, and turned back to defend.

Liu Mang probably guessed the Pacers' trick, so he and Prince switched defenses this time!
Originally, Prince was supposed to do the drudgery of chasing and defending Reggie Miller. With Prince, Liu Mang can concentrate on defending the opponent's point guard or shooting guard. This is the key to the Eagles' better perimeter defense than last season.

but……

This time, Reggie Miller actually went low!Liu Mang then came to the low post, watching Reggie Miller relying on himself to ask for the ball, a mouthful of old blood was about to come out!
Co-authoring, is it really my master to guard against whoever is low and strong?

Liu Mang was also angry!

"Wow, our three-pointer king, you don't shoot three-pointers with your soft and slippery running position outside, so you can't think about coming inside, do you want to use your soft body to make me feel uncomfortable and score easily?" Liu Mang turned on the poisonous mouth mode.

"Well, you guessed it right, I really want to take off my clothes and pants, and wear a pair of golden underwear to linger with you." Reggie Miller immediately countered.

Originally, since the 2000-2001 season, when the Pacers slipped from being the Eastern Conference champion in the previous season to almost failing to make the playoffs, Reggie Miller seldom talked trash, mainly players in the eighties and 90s.

But today, Reggie Miller's poisonous mouth is back!

Moreover, this picture is too strong!Thinking of that scene, Liu Mang almost felt disgusted!
Reggie Miller took the opportunity to run back, and Tinsley passed the ball properly. He is indeed the assist leader of the 2001 rookie.

The trash talk is powerful, the backrunning is excellent, and the passing with the ball is also very good. Unfortunately, the shot is still a little bit off. It is indeed the most difficult to make a two-point shot from a distance that is not too far away. Otherwise, Kobe, Jordan, and Nowitzki would not be so difficult to defend.

Reggie Miller's long two points hit the iron!
Liu Mang easily received the rebound again, but the Pacers still didn't intend to hit the rebound, and quickly retreated directly.

After Liu Mang pushed forward, as expected, as long as he picked and rolled, he immediately encountered a double-team again. He returned to the defensive end, he went to defend Artest, and Artest also started to play hard...

Liu Mang completely understood this time!
The other party is messing with him!
No matter how you do it, just don't let him shoot three-pointers, or even let him score, and then when it's time for him to defend, it will always be the person he is defending to fight!
……

Isaiah Thomas is very shrewd in thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have done so many things with tricks in the Knicks. He knows that it is very difficult to win while taking care of Reggie Miller's face.

Therefore, Isaiah Thomas changed his goal in this game. First, it is to ensure that the team does not fight. Second, it is to help Reggie Miller regain face and enhance the cohesion of the team. It is enough to win the next game. It does not matter a game. If it can make the team play more united and better, it is worth losing a game.

As for offensive rebounds, according to the scout report, Isaiah Thomas found something very weird, unbelievable and even a little admirable, that is, the most efficient rebounder in the Hawks team is not Raheem, not Mohamed, not these two guys who averaged double figures per game, but Boozer, who averaged 12 points and 21 rebounds per game after becoming the main rotation since December 9!
During this period, Boozer averaged 22 rebounds in 7.5 minutes per game!

Although it seems that Jermaine O'Neal's 10.4 rebounds per game is better than Boozer's, and in the two teams, he is only worse than Raheem who averaged 11.3 rebounds per game, but that is based on Jermaine O'Neal's average playing time of 38 minutes per game. save face!

……

……

Liu Mang struggled for a few rounds, and then decisively chose to follow the pace of the Pacers.

No way, insist on a strong vote?It is not a way to score points by hitting iron. Artest has great physical strength, and Raheem has strength. Artest consumes a lot of defense against Raheem, but it is much easier to defend against Liu Mang. Liu Mang really does not have the ability to grind Artest to death.

Although Liu Mang attaches great importance to the task of three-pointers, he can't make a few blind shots by himself and cause the team to lose.

Therefore, Liu Mang simply followed the pace of the Pacers, using them to double-team himself crazily, and started the "all-round" style of passing and rebounding. And because he had seen Brad Miller relying on his height and the threat of double-teaming in advance, he now had to pick-and-roll with teammates with long-range shots, such as Raheem, Prince, and Boozer.

In this case, several pitchers of the Eagles were overjoyed!

Even Jason Terry came up and picked up a lot of open shots, and the Eagles' scoring continued to rise.

The Pacers, while targeting Liu Mang, are also trying to score and chase the score. Not to mention, Liu Mang’s defense against outside shooters and non-compulsive outsiders is very effective, but the defense against the low post is really mediocre, because the Eagles’ defensive system is very clear when Ratliff is there. Mang's inside line was forced to eat a lot.

Of course, there were many Pacers who didn’t score. After Liu Mang defended Artest once, he also learned to be good. He only switched defenses to guards Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Eric Strickland, and Jonathan Bender. These four guards are about the same height and are not composed of muscle bumps. Therefore, the defensive success rate is half and half.

This caused Liu Mang to accidentally score 13 rebounds in the middle of the fourth quarter, and his double-teamed shots had a high probability of being directly converted into points. He got 14 assists, plus the two three-pointers he just played, one three-pointer each in the second and third quarters, and 4 of 3 free throws.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Liu Mang, who hadn't rested since he played in the first quarter, made 14 of 4 shots, 13 of 4 three-pointers, and scored a triple-double with 15 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds!
Liu Mang's second triple-double in his career!It came so suddenly, no one expected it at all, and it was a large triple-double!

After Liu Mang hit the third and fourth three-pointers, he continued to lock his throat. The referee and the coaches of both teams were terrified. Fortunately, the players of both teams were calm, especially the Pacers.

At the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Eagles led the Pacers by 102 points 90 to 12!
Seeing that the score is not bad, and their second-year statistics are so coquettish, Raheem, Jason Terry, and Boozer all scored 20 points. Coach Kruger finally breathed a sigh of relief. This game is probably not a big problem.

"Ace, are you still physically strong? Do you need to rest?" Coach Kruger now began to care about his disciples.

Liu Mang shook his head and said that he was fine. His physical fitness is already very good now. Although there is a gap between Hamilton's physical fitness that is close to the full value, he still has an excellent physical fitness of 87. Even if he played like this today, he only took a shot of physical energy potion before the start of the fourth quarter. The most important role of physical potion now is training, and he uses it less and less during the game.

Seeing that Liu Mang said he was fine, and even though he hit 12 irons today, he was not so stubborn that he insisted on shooting a three-pointer. The pass was still a pass, which made Coach Kruger very satisfied. He didn’t forget about the game in order to show a three-pointer in front of Reggie Miller. He made 13 of 4 three-pointers. From the perspective of Coach Kruger’s era, this is already very good. With a shooting percentage of 30.00%, some teams couldn’t make a single game this year. 4 three-pointers, like the Cavaliers, averaged only 4.3 three-pointers per game this season, and the team's three-point shooting percentage was only 30.00%.

The average per game is high and low, that is, there are often times when the audience makes less than 4 three-pointers.

Moreover, when Liu Mang makes a three-point shot, he will try his best to gain room for his shot instead of relying on the bounce to make a hard shot. This is what makes Coach Kruger most satisfied. He wants to compete with the opponent, but he does not lose his composure. The 14 assists are the best proof.

But now Liu Mang really hates himself for not making waves!What is a game? The main reason is that there are still 4 three-pointers left. Liu Wei is so desperate!

What is a game? This game is likely to affect the team's 4 games!
Not anymore!
Liu Mang is about to get angry, there are 5 minutes left, leading by 12 points, who cares, the young master is going to mess up!
Liu Mang was not afraid of wasting it, so he injected a shot of physical potion and was ready to go!
Then... under the distressed gaze of Coach Kruger, he ran to the sidelines and drank Gatorade.

Coach Kruger looked at the pile of Gatorade paper cups and said in his heart: "Ace, our masters and apprentices are worth millions, and you are the player with the highest endorsement fee in the NBA today besides Jordan. We don't need this drink money. Don't be ashamed, okay..."

……

On the side of the Pacers bench, Isaiah Thomas is still emphasizing the need to lock Liu Mang. After Liu Mang made three-pointers in the second and third quarters, Isaiah Thomas immediately called a timeout. Firstly, he was afraid that his players’ heads would get hot. Second, Liu Mane hit the iron several times before making the third and fourth three-pointers. Strengthen defensive strategies.

For example, in the first half of the fourth quarter, since it was the last quarter, when the Pacers players were at their most focused, Liu Mang made three-pointers and three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and one of them was directly blocked by Artest.

But just when Isaiah Thomas emphasized the need to prevent Liu Mang from dying, Reggie Miller stood up: "Isaiah, brothers, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me, not afraid of being criticized, not afraid of losing face, and everything you have done for me. I think this is enough. Compared with locking up that nasty kid, I hope that we can enjoy the glory of victory together, rather than let us all bear the infamy that we cannot afford to lose for this little thing here!"

Reggie Miller saw that the point difference was only 12 points, and there were 5 minutes left, so there was no chance.

But if you keep playing like before, seeing Liu Mang has already made nine three-pointers, there must be some secret joy, but at the same time, it is also accompanied by a feeling of embarrassment. It is like the first time the Magic team played against the Lakers after losing O'Neal. They gave O'Neal 28 free throws and allowed O'Neal to score only 16 points.It is worth mentioning that the shark hacking tactic is also a tactic developed by the old Nelson after seeing the Magic's use of the shortcomings of his former super center for defense.

Coveting for a moment of pleasure will bring about a dark history in the future. In this case, Reggie Miller chooses not to!

There is also a very important point, the Pacers are not without a chance to win!Today, the Pacers players feel very hot. With this kind of weird offensive and defensive play played by Liu Mang, the Pacers are only 12 points behind. If you play hard, you may not lose!
It lasted until there were 5 minutes left, and Reggie Miller thought it was enough!

But Reggie Miller probably didn't expect that what he said made the Pacers players respect him more-so considerate of the younger generations!

"Reggie, you..." Isaiah Thomas showed an assassin's smile when he saw the players who became more cohesive because of Reggie Miller's words. The goal has been achieved. What he wants is not to fight and strengthen the cohesion. So Isaiah Thomas said: "Okay, I think it's almost the same. Next, it's time to win. Boys, we have to fight hard, but we can still use..."

Even Tyronn Lue can win the championship by accident. Isaiah Thomas was still good when he set up the team system before the game, but his on-the-spot command was so-so, but occasionally he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly his on-the-spot command ability was overwhelming...

……

……

Both teams deployed core lineups at the last minute.

For the Eagles, except that Boozer replaced Muhammad at the critical moment, the other positions remained unchanged. Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Ratliff played.

The Pacers are still a lineup of Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, O'Neal, and Brad Miller.

The physical consumption of the two teams started from the Pacers' defense, and the consumption was not too big, because the Pacers were always the defenders who forced Liu Mang to start their offense, which greatly reduced the need for player skills.

So at this time the core members of the two teams are in good physical condition.

Timeout back, the Pacers attack.

When Tinsley saw Liu Mang coming forward, he still chose to force his way.

The Eagles players were a little slack. Seeing this kind of attack, they felt that there was no need to guard against it. They must have done it against Liu Mang again. The Eagles players understood that the Pacers were so cautious, and they just wanted to deal with their second-year players.

My sophomores are not the ones who will suffer from being dumb, no, triple-doubles are here, let my sophomores guard against it!
At this moment, Artest suddenly threw away Raheem and rushed into the interior. It came so suddenly. You must know that although Tinsley also passed the ball in the first three quarters, they all passed outside after encountering double-teams.

This time Artest's air cut came too suddenly. Seeing Artest receiving the ball from the middle distance and attacking the basket, although the defensive effect is not good, but the attitude is very good. It's just that Boozer, who has poor defensive skills, moves from the bottom line to block Artest.

Everyone saw Artest's reckless style of play and thought that he must have come for the ball. After all, he has such a strong physical fitness and a not-so-smart head, so Boozer and Raheem's defensive cooperation is quite tacit.

However, the British poet Sassoon said it well, there is a tiger sniffing the roses in his heart, Artest is not stupid at all, except that he is impulsive, he is a very team player, and he is very clever.
After being caught in a double-team, Artest threw the ball to the left, O'Neal received the ball, and at the same time, Reggie Miller bypassed O'Neal, O'Neal took a step on his thigh, stuck the baseline position to prevent Jason Terry from chasing, and then passed the ball behind his head to the bottom corner, and Reggie Miller caught the ball from the bottom corner and made a three-pointer...

hit!

93 to 102, the Pacers chased the point difference to 9 points!
After scoring the goal, the Pacers hurried back to defense. They were still afraid of Liu Mang's counterattack. Reggie Miller did not forget to turn around to challenge Liu Mang while returning to defense, and once again spread his fingers to cover his face.

But unexpectedly, Liu Mang actually showed a pleasant expression, as if he forgot to serve, and Rahim was ready to serve, but Liu Mang actually turned his back to him.

The opponent started to fight normally!Liu Mang is so excited!
Although the difficulty of the game has increased, it is possible, just possible, that the opponent's defense may also normalize!Because the opponent has the idea of ​​winning!
The most painful thing for Liu Mang before was that the Pacers didn't care about winning or losing, and they just defended his three-pointers, which made him a headache.

Although the opponent's touch has always been very good to bite the point difference, and now after starting to play normally, the Eagles will have a certain threat to win, but Liu Mang is very excited!The opponent is playing normally, although it is difficult to win, but my mission may be fulfilled!
And the opponent's normal play is also good for the Eagles' offense!
Just as the Pacers were desperately returning to defense, Liu Mang called a timeout.

The Pacers player almost spat out a mouthful of old blood: That bastard is in the second grade!

The Pacers players decided that this bastard definitely wanted to upset them, so he deliberately called a timeout!

In fact, Liu Mang just wanted to set up a three-point tactic. It had been more than an hour, and his teammates might have forgotten the three-point tactic he had set up before.

Coach Kruger watched Liu Mang draw with the tactical board, and went to take the last glass of Gatorade in his hand. He saw that the staff had already gone to the visiting team to "borrow" a few glasses of Gatorade. Coach Kruger felt that the staff really might not be able to "borrow" them. If you don't drink it, it will be gone!
As for the responsibilities of the head coach... Coach Kruger said that this kind of weird game is not something that a head coach with an orthodox background should do...

……

……

Back from the timeout, the lineups of the two teams remained unchanged, and the Hawks served in midfield.

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced beyond the three-point line. Seeing Tinsley defending, Liu Mang knew that the Pacers' defense had also normalized!
Although the normalized Pacers' defense must be improved by more than one level, and the Eagles will not be able to score so easily again, Liu Mang feels very excited.

Liu Mang made a 5 with his left hand, which is the E tactic, Eilere Vettel, Elevator tactic!

Then the Eagles' weird tactics began!

Boozer first blocked Brad Miller with his solid body, and Ratliff used the pick-and-roll to step outside the free throw line at a 45-degree angle on the right. At the same time, O'Neal and Brad Miller were still closer to the basket than Boozer.

At this time, Liu Mang from the top arc held the ball and Jason Terry at a 45-degree angle ran towards Ratliff at the same time. Jason Terry bypassed Ratliff first and rushed to O'Neal who was bypassing Boozer's defense.

After Jason Terry bypassed Ratliff, Liu Mang rushed to Ratliff with the ball and wanted to go around the pile. At this time, Reggie Miller and Tinsley came to double-team Liu Mang, and immediately passed the ball to Ratliff. Ratliff turned to face the basket and raised the ball high!

At this moment, Liu Mang, who passed the ball, bypassed Ratliff and came to the free throw line. Raheem, who cut in from a 30-degree angle from the left, caught Artest.
Watching Rahim cut in, Brad Miller quickly moved over. Reggie Miller and Tinsley also went in when Liu Mang ran to the off-ball pick-and-roll. Seeing that Brad Miller let go of Boozer and opened up space to catch the ball, Reggie Miller and Tinsley hurried towards Boozer to defend.

At this moment, Liu Mang ran back to the outside line, and Artest followed Liu Mang very keenly, but at this time, Ratliff made a move and passed it to Liu Mang, and then stuck in front of Artest, Liu Mang's top arc was perfectly open!After a bit of adjustment, Liu Mang made a three-pointer and hit again!
The fifth three-pointer!

Liu Mang scored the fifth three-pointer!

The minimum mission objective has been achieved!
This made Liu Mang heave a sigh of relief, at least he reduced the number of punishments to an acceptable level, and the time was still close to 4 minutes, so he had a chance to score three more!

105 to 93, still 12 points difference!
Seeing that Liu Mang made another three-pointer, the referee and the head coaches of the two teams yelled inwardly, are they still coming?
Yes, they guessed right.

After Liu Mang scored a three-pointer, he turned around and faced Reggie Miller, who was celebrating him a minute ago, crossed his hands again, strangled his neck, and made a suffocation!
Pacers players can't help it!Look at Reggie Miller, as long as the boss is upset, let's fight!
However, unexpectedly, not only the Pacers players, but also Liu Mang, Reggie Miller actually laughed!

Sometimes what people see and judge with their heads may deviate from the facts. Subjective consciousness is very important. Reggie Miller watched Liu Mang make such an action again, which is already the fifth time, but he just did that kind of action without any contempt for himself. From Liu Mang’s defense against himself, he still spat out trash talk and it was not the kind of trash talk that looked down on him.

This sophomore seems to just want to enjoy the feeling of competing with himself, the historical three-pointer!
Not to mention, just looking at the content of the mission, Liu Mang really wanted to compete with Reggie Miller throughout the game, but other than that, there was no more behavior!

Liu Mang never denied how strong Reggie Miller's three-pointers are in words, never mocked Reggie Miller in terms of strength and honors, and never mentioned the number of three-pointers made by Liu Mang in a single season that has been broken by Liu Mang.

In Reggie Miller's view, although Liu Mang is annoying and arrogant, he may be too pure to want to defeat the former celebrity. Reggie Miller has a little "knowledge". Could it be this guy who wants to have a vigorous three-point duel with himself when he still has the power to fight!
Thinking of this, Reggie Miller couldn't help laughing at Liu Mang's throat lock.

I haven't felt this way for a long time!After the team's decline in the 2000-2001 season, Reggie Miller was no longer the target of young players' challenges. The title of the first three-pointer was also taken away by Ray Allen in the past two seasons.

But this time, Liu Mang actually insisted on provoking him regardless. Reggie Miller suddenly felt that this second-year guy didn’t seem to be so hated, hated at all, but what he did was really good. He defended actively and fiercely, but didn’t hurt anyone. His attitude was arrogant, but he didn’t deny the opponent’s strength.

Do you want three points?
Reggie Miller is about to start playing. Mr. Death, who scored 8 points in 8 seconds, will start to show his real running skills and shooting skills!
Seeing that Reggie Miller was not angry, the Pacers players wondered, but the anger disappeared. As the boss said, winning is the best way to show the other side their strength!

The Pacers attacked, and Reggie Miller started a variety of interspersed moves. Although Liu Mang did not have the rich three-point tactical library, three-point marksmen of all ages have their own defenses to obtain shooting opportunities, and the era of Reggie Miller's three-point shooting is not like the future. The tactics are all for three-point shooting, so it is more difficult.

Reggie Miller made continuous pick-and-rolls, and finally appeared outside the 60-degree three-point line, and also made a three-pointer after receiving a ball from Jermaine O'Neal!
Reggie Miller gave Liu Mang another one!
6 of 4 shots, Reggie Miller also made four three-pointers today!Not only is it not inferior to Liu Mang's 5 three-pointers, but the efficiency is much higher. Reggie Miller has never been a person who makes wild shots.

Just after Reggie Miller scored, Liu Mang spread out his five fingers again and Raheem immediately picked up the ball and served it to Liu Mang. Liu Mang received the ball and counterattacked with the ball!
Artest just got stuck in the interior to grab a rebound, and wanted to chase Liu Mang immediately, but was blocked by Ratliff!

At the same time, other players wanted to chase Liu Mang. Reggie Miller scored a three-pointer and was blocked by Boozer. O'Neal was blocked by Raheem who came out of the serve. Tinsley, who was closest to Liu Mang, was blocked by Jason Terry.

The Pacers still had an empty Brad Miller who could only watch Liu Mang quickly chase down the body for a three-pointer. Before the ball was scored, Jason Terry turned around and stretched out his hands towards the sky towards the fans to cheer.

Just as the cheers of the fans were mobilized, Liu Mang's chasing three-pointer plunged into the basket!
The cheers of the fans at the scene exploded even more.

Seeing the sixth three-pointer hit, Liu Mang saw the ball fall into the basket, and the big stone in his heart finally fell. If there are two games, it doesn't matter much. The next step is to attack and complete the task!

This time there is no need for the system prompt, Liu Mang took a deep breath, turned towards Reggie Miller who had just broken away from Boozer and ran a few steps, and made another death choke move!
The fans saw Reggie Miller again and couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing. Everyone "confirmed" that Liu Mang was challenging Reggie Miller!

Reggie Miller is on fire!
Seeing that he scored two consecutive three-pointers and the opponent returned immediately, Reggie Miller knew that it would be difficult to win today, and the strength gap between the two teams is really quite big.

This is why Reggie Miller originally planned to retire this summer until he accidentally picked up the coach Carlisle before rekindling his fighting spirit.

However, in this game, just this game alone, Reggie Miller wants to fight hard in the last 3 minutes!

……

……

There were chances in the last few minutes, but after Liu Mang’s three-pointer was completely empty in the last few minutes, it was too accurate. He hit the iron when he was strictly defended before, but Liu Mang had a lot of opportunities to adjust.

Although Reggie Miller scored 5 three-pointers in the last 5 minutes, raising the audience's 7-pointers to 5, Liu Mang also made 5 three-pointers in the last 4 minutes. At the same time, because the Pacers were forced to start double-teaming Liu Mang again, and it was not malicious double-teaming.

With 17 seconds left, the Hawks led the Pacers 119 to 110. At this time, Liu Mang was double-teamed and passed out of bounds during the Hawks offense. Reggie Miller smiled wryly, and fell behind by 17 points in 9 seconds. It seemed that it was not difficult for a guy who had done 8 seconds and 8 points lore. However, Reggie Miller saw the strength of young people and knew that he was really old.

Surrender!
After receiving the serve, Reggie Miller dribbled to the frontcourt without attacking.

At this time, the three-point comparison between Liu Mang and Reggie Miller was displayed on the big screen.

Reggie Miller made 13 of 7 three-pointers, and Liu Mang made 20 of 8 shots. Regardless of the shooting percentage, Liu Mang defeated Reggie Miller in terms of the number of three-pointers!

刘莽拿到27分16助攻14篮板的大号三双外加八个三分，带量老鹰队战胜了雷吉-米勒带领的步行者！119比110，比分从雷吉-米勒放弃进攻后就定格了！
……

After the game, Liu Mang was surrounded by a large number of media without any suspense, whether it was a large triple-double or a challenge to Reggie Miller.

Liu Wei only left one sentence: "Today, maintain the strongest respect, play the most serious game, and challenge the strongest opponent with the most adequate preparation."

Regarding Liu Mang's remarks after the game, Reggie Miller only responded with one sentence in an interview, and said with a smile: The age of young people has come, isn't it?
