From today on is the king

Chapter 532 531. Murder!
After the timeout, the Eagles took possession of the ball and replaced it with a lineup of one big and four small.

The sixth man, Jason Terry, replaced Boozer. The other four remained unchanged. Liu Mang moved from point guard to shooting guard.

The Pistons didn't make any substitutions. It's a last-ditch fight. They don't care about physical strength. The five starters decided to fight!

Coach Carlisle has lost control of the Pistons. He is indeed very good in the future, but he is only a second-year coach. The best rookie coach has not yet been awarded, and his control over the Pistons has collapsed faster than before. He originally relied on a 1-3 comeback until the Eastern Conference Finals was defeated by Kidd and Byron Scott. Once, it was beaten 3-0 again this year... Coach Carlisle has already guessed the ending of this season.

But it was so easy to get together, the players didn't directly express their dissatisfaction. Coach Carlisle also knew that he didn't have much time in the Pistons. Everyone played very happily in the regular season. There was no need to tear their faces. The players can play as they want.

If you lose, there will be no next game. What's the point of being physically incapable?
The Eagles serve from the center line, and Liu Mang runs at the top arc of the three-point line. Billups blocks Liu Mang's receiving route and runs with Liu Mang, trying to prevent Liu Mang from receiving the serve. To Billups' surprise, Liu Mang suddenly turns around and runs into the three-point line!

Billups followed, and Jason Terry came up from the corner to catch the ball and stopped in the top arc.

Liu Mang led Billups dangling inside the three-point line, drilling a crack here and inserting a bit there, making Billups confused.

He has been studying the Eagles' style of play for a long time, and Billups has been studying the Eagles' style of play since he basically determined that his team is the first in the Eastern Conference and the Eagles are eighth in the Eastern Conference.

And Liu Mang's style of play this time is completely different from the Eagles' style of play in Billups' impression!

When Liu Mang entered the basket from the right, Jason Terry started to act against Hamilton's defense. Hamilton defended well, and his thin body gave him great flexibility. Raheem came to the top arc to block Hamilton for Jason Terry.

At this time, Liu Mang followed Ratliff from the inside and got rid of Billups and ran out.

The Pistons' defensive switch was excellent. Seeing that he could no longer catch up with Jason Terry, Hamilton simply trusted Clifford Robinson's switch. Seeing that Billups was blocked by Ratliff and could not catch up with Liu Mang, Ben Wallace did not dare to switch out to defend Liu Mang because of Ratliff's height threat. Hamilton turned around to chase Liu Mang.

At this time, Liu Mang spared Raheem and Hamilton. After blocking Hamilton once, Raheem blocked Hamilton again.

"What kind of broken pick-and-roll is this! Block twice in one position?" Hamilton wailed inwardly.

Hamilton was blocked twice by Raheem in the same position!
Liu Mang Liu Mang has a gap!

Jason Terry, who just broke through the bottom line, passed back to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang caught the ball at a 45-degree angle and shot a three-pointer!

Liu Mang's shooting ability has declined, but this kind of catch and shoot is no different from before. Excellent running position, beautiful pick and roll, perfect feeling of catch and shoot, Liu Mang catches the ball and hits a three-pointer!
11 to 13, the point difference returned to within five points.

"Oh..." Billups felt a crit in his heart when he saw the Eagles playing completely differently from before!
The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and the fans on the sidelines can see it all at once, but the Pistons players were caught off guard and are still at a loss for the Eagles' tactics.

They didn't expect the Eagles to have offensive tactics to hide and it's useless!

This is already the fourth game!The Eagles haven't tried their best yet!

This gave the Pistons a critical blow to the Pistons, who played perfectly for more than half the time!They feel a ton of hurt!
Fortunately, because the Pistons were still in a rage as a whole, they suppressed the feeling of frustration and hinted that they were still in the lead. Billups showed no uneasiness on his face, and slowly advanced after receiving the serve.

After Billups advanced to the frontcourt, he saw that it was still not Liu Mang, but Jason Terry who was guarding him, but he didn't shoot blindly because Jason Terry stuck to him directly.

Anti-throw is not anti-burst!The main defense is Billups' three-pointer!

This is the defensive strategy of the Eagles against Billups, and it is also the way Liu Mang got from the impression that the Nets used Richard Jefferson to defend against Billups.

A point guard with a 30.00% three-point shooting percentage, a 30.00% mid-range shooting percentage, and an overall shooting percentage of only 40.00% can just defend against his three-pointers.
Mike Woodson's defensive strategy was still problematic before, because Billups was very turbulent and iron, but his scoring methods were very comprehensive. Although he was iron, he was good at three-pointers, mid-range shots, and layups.

Liu Mang's strategy was simple and rude.

On the other side, Liu Mang was practicing long-distance running with Hamilton. Liu Mang felt that if he played a few more games with Hamilton, his endurance would definitely improve a lot.

Billups saw Jason Terry's defensive style. Although he didn't know why he suddenly changed his defensive style, he didn't hesitate. He pressed Jason Terry and easily broke through from the left.

During the breakthrough, Billups looked at six directions. At this time, Hamilton ran out from the basket, and Ben Wallace blocked Liu Wei. Clifford Robinson had to block Liu Wei again, because Liu Wei was too fast, and it was difficult to get rid of Liu Wei's pursuit in a pick-and-roll.

But what surprised the Pistons happened again. Ratliff ran out with Hamilton!Waving your arms to block the line between Billups and Hamilton!

At this time, Raheem let go of Clifford Robinson, retracted to the basket, and flanked Ben Wallace with Liu Mang!
Billups immediately passed the ball to Clifford Robinson. Clifford Robinson hesitated after receiving the ball. He shot 30.00% nine in the regular season this year and 30.00% three in the playoffs. This kind of mid-range shooting is a bit afraid to shoot!
But seeing that no one is defending, it’s really hard to justify not shooting. Although Ben Wallace has an advantage in strength at the basket, Raheem is as tall as Ben Wallace, and Liu Mang circles forward together, so Clifford Robinson can’t pass in!After hesitating for a moment, Clifford Robinson took a mid-range shot!

Just hesitating for a moment, when Clifford Robinson raised the ball, a big hand stretched out from behind his head, slapped the ball into the inside, and Raheem, who was going around Ben Wallace, just picked up the rebound after the block!

Clifford Robinson had completely forgotten that there was Ratliff behind him!

Ratliff’s mobility is at most a defense in the middle and short distances of the right half. Hamilton ran to the two-point long position, and Ratliff quickly retracted it.

And deliberately create gaps on the opponent's two insiders, Clifford Robinson, who has a 30.00% three-point shooting rate this year, but only 30.00% nine-point shooting overall, and Ben Wallace, who has basically no scoring ability.

Even if Ratliff didn't block Clifford Robinson just now, as long as Clifford Robinson made a shot from the middle distance, which he is not good at, the defense will be considered a success!

The most important point of this defensive method is that the Pistons shoot decisively. As long as the Pistons shoot decisively when there is a gap, this defense will be effective.

Sometimes if you are too resolute, your opponent will seize the opportunity instead.

The Pistons were in a state of excitement and determination today, and they happened to be targeted by Liu Mang.

Of course, if Clifford Robinson can really make a shot, there's nothing he can do about it, but try his best to defend and continue to fire on the offensive end!Don't worry, just slowly transfer the pressure from yourself to the other party!

The first goal of Liu Mang's defensive strategy is to let the Pistons pass the ball to Ben Wallace, but it is too difficult. If Ben Wallace gets the ball under the basket, it is really difficult to defend. He stands too deep, and he avoids his weakness and squats under the basket.

It's not that there are no teams that have never considered letting Ben Wallace leave the basket when attacking, but Ben Wallace is not stupid, there is no need to never leave the three-second zone, otherwise he will be targeted by the opponent and explode in place.

It was the Eagles offense again, and Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt after receiving a pass from Raheem.

Billups saw Liu Mang running around again. Although he still didn't understand how the Eagles' tactics would be played, he didn't have much impression of Liu Mang running and playing off the ball like this in the Eagles' tactical database, but he knew that he obviously couldn't keep up, so he switched defenses with Hamilton and asked Hamilton to defend Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was overjoyed!

Chasing Hamilton from the defensive end consumes Hamilton's physical energy, which is not so reliable. Therefore, the Eagles' off-ball players were selected from Jason Terry or Prince as the initial candidates.

Liu Mang ran more happily, making various sudden stops and changing speeds, leading Hamilton to run wildly.

It was the first time Hamilton met someone who could run as well as himself, and he was a little skeptical about life when he ran...

The decision Billups made was decisive and correct, but he couldn't stand the opponent's hooligans!Billups' calmness and excellent judgment on defense are also in Liu Mang's calculations!
On Jason Terry's side, seeing that Billups has been replaced by Hamilton to defend Liu Mang, he knows that the game plan has entered the second stage. There is no breakthrough or shot, so he protects the ball outside the three-point line.

Liu Mang led Hamilton to a run, using a pick-and-roll. Compared with Hamilton's pick-and-roll in order to get an open shot, Liu Mang was purely a run. When there were 4 seconds left in the attack time, Liu Mang ran to the top arc and gave Jason Terry a pick-and-roll!

Hamilton chased after Liu Mang, and saw Liu Mang going to pick and roll Jason Terry!Why did you come here suddenly?Don't you want to run, catch and shoot?Hamilton quickly switched to defend Jason Terry, Jason Terry broke into the middle distance, made an emergency stop jumper and shot at the buzzer...

It was indeed sudden. The Pistons defense didn't react, and they just watched Liu Mang and Hamilton race away.

But Jason Terry also shot too suddenly and missed a jumper with an emergency stop!

At this time, Prince had already recovered the basket, and Ratliff supported Ben Wallace. Ratliff couldn't grab rebounds, and he didn't grab rebounds for Ben Wallace.

Clifford Robinson saw that no one was blocking him, judged where the ball bounced off the basket, moved over and jumped up to grab a rebound!
Just when Clifford Robinson tried his best to show that he was about to get the rebound with almost no bounce, one hand grabbed the ball from the moment his fingertips were about to touch the basketball, just like grabbing a mini basketball!And Clifford Robinson could see clearly that the big hand was about the same size as him, a big hand that an inside player should have!And the three frontcourt players of the Eagles are all under the basket!
Clifford Robinson had just landed and was about to turn around to see who it was, when he saw a figure rushing into the basket from behind his right, making a layup with a low hand and throwing the ball into the basket!
It's that nasty guy again!
Clifford Robinson watched Liu Mang make an easy layup and felt humiliated!A point guard takes the rebound off his head!

But at the same time Clifford Robinson felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The way the Eagles grabbed rebounds was too clear. Raheem and Ratliff blocked the rebounding king Ben Wallace, Prince blocked Michael Curry who was rushing to grab the rebound, and handed over the task of grabbing rebounds with Clifford Robinson to Liu Mang.

This made Clifford Robinson aggrieved and helpless!

Clifford Robinson is not only poor in rebounding now, but also poor in rebounding throughout his career. He has played 14 seasons so far, and only 25 times when he averaged more than 28 rebounds per game when he was 4 to 5 years old at his physiological peak.

What is this concept?The future No. 1.8 point guard in the NBA, Chris Paul, is a 14-meter-three little man. In the first 6 seasons, he averaged more than 5 rebounds per game 14 times. Chris Paul in the No. 34 season is [-] years old, and his rebounding ability is similar to that of the peak Clifford Robinson.

Clifford Robinson's rebounding ability is inferior to that of a better guard.

On the military, attacking the heart is the first!
Liu Mang's intentions are very clear, strength, his own team is stronger, the opponent's start is so good, relying on a spirit, and this spirit will become stronger and stronger. The tragic experience of the Magic team in history made Liu Mang very jealous. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether you score first or not, and it doesn't matter whether you can prevent it.The Pistons are already 0-3 behind. Liu Mang doesn't believe how strong their fighting spirit can be, as long as they are suppressed, and they are not given the opportunity to continue to improve their fighting spirit and morale!

Clifford Robinson watched Liu Mang laughing and returned to the defense with his teammates, silently picked up the ball and sent it to Billups.

Billups didn't notice Clifford Robinson's aggrieved and helpless, because his own rebounding is not a day or two, and he is the fourth last in the league in the regular season, and he has long been used to it.

Billups noticed something about the Eagles' offense just now, but after the second offense, Billups was at a loss. What is this style of play?

Billups advances to the frontcourt, and the Eagles still switch defenses as long as Hamilton picks and rolls. Anyway, they must ensure that there are people in front of Hamilton, but they do not give Billups and Michael Curry open shots. And deliberately give Ben Wallace and Clifford Robinson a mid-range position.

The ball was in the hands of Clifford Robinson again, and he was blocked just now. Clifford Robinson was very afraid. In order to give Clifford Robinson a better shot, Hamilton also cut into the inside from the right. Ratliff couldn’t keep up with Hamilton’s footsteps. At this time, Raheem went to block Hamilton. No matter what, just put pressure on Hamilton to score.

Clifford Robinson saw that only Liu Mang was defending Ben Wallace under the basket, and was pushed away by Ben Wallace, and immediately passed to Ben Wallace. This is a good opportunity!

Ben Wallace catches the ball, slams it into the hoop with a roar...

"Snapped"

Liu Mang couldn't stop Ben Wallace, the first defensive goal was not achieved, and there was a backup - the shark-slashing tactic!
Liu Mang directly punched Ben Wallace's hand catching the ball, and sent the ball flying!
The referee whistles, the thugs foul!
Two free throws!

"Oh……"

Ben Wallace roared angrily, and looked at Liu Mang viciously, feeling very upset, it doesn't matter if it hurts, the key is that the other party cut him!

However, Ben Wallace couldn't get out of his anger. After Liu Mang fouled, he didn't even look at him. He went to talk to Rahim, and said loudly, "Sharif, next time you foul, the guy with the corn silk head is too hard, it hurts!"

Rahim knew Liu Mang's real meaning, which was to come one by one to avoid foul crisis.

For Ben Wallace, if he receives the ball at such a deep position under the basket, the backup tactic is to chop the shark, and the number of fouls should be even.

To prevent Ben Wallace from scoring at the basket, Liu Mang and Raheem are fine together, but if there is only one person left, it will be impossible to stop, but it is not impossible, just chop the shark!Just let the Pistons know that the Hawks will foul when Ben Wallace catches the ball, and if Ben Wallace misses the free throw today, they won't dare pass it in.

And Ben Wallace free throws...always never miss!
Although a little shameless, the Eagles are used to the saying of being shameless, whatever they like, winning is king!
Ben Wallace is so angry!He is quite confident in his hairstyle, but he didn't expect that the nickname he got was corn silk!
Not to mention, Ben Wallace felt a bit like it, which made him even more angry!

Walking to the free throw line, Ben Wallace was very upset, his hands still hurt a little, and he made two free throws!
Missing two free throws can be considered a turnover!
After the official timeout came back, the Pistons still hadn't scored a point!
Liu Mang's tactical strategy went smoothly!
……

When attacking the soldiers, attacking the heart is the first, followed by attacking the cross, and then attacking the soldiers, and then attacking the city.

The same goes for basketball.

Discuss with the Pistons to let them stop struggling. This obviously won't work. They are so irritable and furious today, which is caused by Liu Mang's provocation.

It is a way to fight normally and play your own characteristics, but I have tried it at the beginning, and it seems that it does not work. It is good that the opponent is serious about defending. Both Billups and Ben Wallace calm down and suppress the rhythm, which is not good for the Eagles.

There is also shopping, fighting with a stronger fighting spirit than the opponent.

This is a bit stupid. The opponents are obviously well prepared these two days and came prepared. Although the Eagles are also well prepared, after all, the Eagles are leading by a large score. There is a saying in the NBA that the winner will not take the initiative to adapt.

That being the case, use a trick!

Step by step to erode the lead of the Pistons, attack the confidence of the Pistons step by step from all aspects, and suppress their spirit of striving for dignity!
Block Billups and Michael Curry's three-pointers, try to prevent Hamilton's mid-range shots, and give Ben Wallace and Clifford Robinson a lot of mid-range shots.

The defense of ordinary coaches is to prevent all scoring opportunities of the opponent as the goal. This is the idea of ​​most mediocre defensive assistants.

A powerful defensive assistant, such as Mike Woodson, will selectively give shots to the opponent's player with the worst scoring ability. For example, at the beginning, he wanted to give Ben Wallace a shot, but Ben Wallace couldn't come out at all.

And Liu Mang's strategy is to give the other party some opportunities, and one is still two!This makes the Pistons' offense look inconspicuous, because there are always people who have scoring opportunities, but they just can't make shots...

After the first quarter, the Eagles successfully overtook the score by 20 to 19!

In the second quarter, the Eagles continued to maintain this style of play and replaced it with Mertola, mainly to maintain the inside tonnage, and played slowly like that, without rushing to counterattack or anything, just playing against the morale of the Pistons.

Liu Mang also brought Hamilton to consume Hamilton.

After halftime, the offense of the two teams was almost bad. The Eagles led the Pistons by 41 points 38 to 3 after halftime.

Slowly, the morale of the Pistons began to drop, and they were able to hold on in the first half. In the third quarter, when Hamilton ran slower and slower, and even Muhammad, who reached the center position in the third quarter, could barely keep up with Hamilton.

Hamilton must try his best to get rid of Liu Mang's pursuit on the offensive end, and guard against Liu Mang on the defensive end. The physical consumption is not just as simple as 1+1, but after reaching a certain point, Hamilton's physical fitness will decline in an avalanche!
By the middle of the third quarter, Hamilton could no longer keep up with Liu Mang!

In the second half of the third quarter, Liu Mang received the ball and made consecutive shots. He made 8 of 5 shots and scored 13 points in the half quarter!
Hamilton on the Pistons side couldn't run anymore, and the offensive end collapsed!In the second half of the third quarter, the Eagles only scored two points!The point difference was stretched from 5 points in the middle of the third quarter to 16 points!
At this time, the fighting spirit of the Pistons was completely shattered by the Eagles!

From vowing to work hard before the game, to the highest point of ecstasy when the Pistons played 14 to 8 a few minutes before the game started, the Pistons' fighting spirit basically collapsed when they were overwhelmed by the score followed by the Eagles after the first quarter.
When the third quarter was over and the point difference became 16 points, Liu Mang heard a reminder and knew that the game was stable!
"Ding... Detroit's fury effect is over, it comes from the Detroit Pistons."
