From today on is the king

Chapter 593 592. This is a massacre!

With a roar from Rasheed Wallace, the game begins!
Rasheed Wallace wins the jumper strong over Jason Collins.

The Eagles attacked first, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Kidd defended.

It is not a good choice to attack hard, and sitting in the low post is not a good choice. Now the Nets have Jason Collins, who can resist Rasheed Wallace in the low post. In the last game, the Nets have found a way to rotate between high and low positions to defend against Liu Mang and Raheem. Therefore, Liu Mang followed the tactics arranged by the coaching staff before the game and beckoned Rasheed Wallace to come out for pick-and-rolls.

Rasheed Wallace came out with Kenyon Martin to block Kidd. Kidd immediately blocked Rasheed Wallace and gave Kenyon Martin the task of changing Liu Mang. First, he blocked the pass between Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace.

It is worthy of Kidd, who may be the best pick-and-roll guard among point guards, and Kenyon Martin, who is very good at guarding against pick-and-rolls among power forwards. The two have a clearer response to the Eagles' pick-and-roll offense after the last game.

This came a little too fast, if Liu Mang didn't go around Rasheed Wallace, Kidd would block back immediately, go around, Kenyon Martin blocked behind Rasheed Wallace, Rasheed Wallace couldn't even move!

At this moment, Liu Mang had a flash of inspiration, stuffed the ball into Rasheed Wallace's hands, and then cut into the basket empty-handed, leaving Kidd behind. Rasheed Wallace reacted quickly and immediately dropped the ball into the inside. Liu Mang got rid of the defense and received the ball and rushed to the basket.

The cooperation between Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace has become more and more tacit. Sometimes it’s not just the juniors who learn from the seniors. After Rasheed Wallace came to the Eagles, he learned a lot of pick-and-roll skills from Boozer, a junior who has a natural sense of pick-and-roll. He may not have Boozer’s innate pick-and-roll sense, but Rasheed Wallace is willing to study and understand Liu Mang’s many habits. Very focused on Liu Mang's every move, trying to make the best choice.

He doesn't have Boozer's pick-and-roll talent, but Rasheed Wallace works hard enough. This seems to be Liu Mang's first pick-and-roll cooperation with Rasheed Wallace in the real sense, and the judgment made is temporary, which looks very good.

Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace celebrated by high-fiving and returned to defense immediately.

Kidd watched the Hawks play a different offensive routine again, playing the same set of Stockton and Boozer on the bench, and reluctantly went to catch Jason Collins' serve and push it over.

Unlike the Eagles' endless tactical changes, the Nets, after more than two years, are still the same. Kidd holds the ball in the top arc, facing Prince's single defense and directing his teammates to run.

Rasheed Wallace and Raheem blocked Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin's off-ball pick-and-roll, Jason Collins went for Kittles' pick-and-roll, Liu Mang just chased Kittles, Jason Collins pulled out, Ratliff completely ignored it, and just went in and out of the three-second zone, still guarding against Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin's defense.

The Hawks have already studied the Nets' offensive routines thoroughly. After having the experience of directly defeating the Nets in the last game, they defended more decisively this time.

The last one to cut into the basket was Jason Collins, Kidd passed the ball, Jason Collins rushed to the basket and flew for a dunk, Ratliff slapped and dribbled the ball to press down Jason Collins' dunk!

Liu Mang grabbed the ball and did not rush to counterattack, but stabilized the rhythm and slowed it down!
Defense, grinding the ground, hitting success rate, and preventing the Nets' counterattack from both wings are the strategies that the Eagles continued from the last game against the Nets' starting lineup.

Liu Mang pushed forward and wanted to continue to play the pick-and-roll, but Kidd seemed to be ready to deal with it. After Kenyon Martin came out with Rasheed Wallace, he did not choose to go up again.

Kidd is really good at it, and his defensive goal is very clear. Although Rasheed Wallace is accurate, he is still far behind Liu Mang's accuracy. He has a very stable defensive choice and a very conventional strategy of letting Liu Mang take the initiative to double-team.

But Liu Mang was very unconventional. He just greeted Rasheed Wallace, waved his hand to let Rasheed Wallace go back, and then made a C with his left hand.

Every time they see Liu Mang’s gesture, the Eagles players are very excited. Although there is no such thing in the previous tactics lesson, it is not once or twice to copy the opponent’s tactics. Rasheed Wallace immediately went to the right corner and Prince pick-and-roll Kenyon Martin ran to chase Rasheed Wallace and blocked Prince’s air cut. On the other side, Ratliff went to the left middle distance to help Raheem block Richard Jefferson. Squeezing Kidd to attack from the right, although Kidd suppressed Liu Mang, but failed to block Liu Mang, he could only stick to Liu Mang and let Liu Mang rush in and fall into a double-team circle.

However, all the inside lines have been pulled out!

Liu Mang rushed into the interior line next to Kidd, Jason Collins had to come to defend, Richard Jefferson on the left side of the basket struggled to bypass Ratliff to keep up with Raheem, but Ratliff ran back to the basket and no one was there, Liu Mang threw the ball to the left side of the basket, Ratliff scored two points with an empty basket!

When it comes to the offense of the Nets, the Nets did not allow Richard Jefferson, the starting ball-handling strong point, to play singles. Unlike the Eagles who have had a mature triangle offense for more than two years to create the most suitable opportunities for singles, the Nets' singles are for singles. However, Richard Jefferson is not good at singles, whether it is Raheem or Prince. It may be that the Pacers' Artest can compare with Princeby's ability to defend against the outside alone. Richard Jefferson's singles effect is not as good as Rodney Rogers who dares to shoot wildly.

The Nets' offense is still an old routine. Although they have sufficient preparations before the game, they are mainly defensive. After reaching the finals in two years, they have already sacrificed all the offensive routines they can offer.

In fact, the Eagles had this kind of consciousness in the playoffs last season, but they were not strong enough. One was Ratliff’s physical problems, and the other was that Muhammad was good, but not good enough. His strengths were drive, desperation, and passion. But the NBA is very cruel. Before the Hawks officially set the championship as their first goal, Muhammad was enough.

But when it came time to play in the playoffs, it was a little bit close.

Of course, a player like Muhammad will not complain because of the lack of playing time, and he is always full of passion. Just like just now, after the Eagles defended, Muhammad was the first to get up and wave the towel. For such a player, the Eagles even give him 500 million to wave the towel. Wallace is so good.

But now that the Hawks have Rasheed Wallace, a power forward who may be able to compete with O'Neal, Garnett and Duncan when he focuses on defense, everything is solved.

And today, Liu Mang's goal is very clear, to give the defense to his teammates, to chase Kittles, an opponent who has become a 3D player, to his teammates for other difficult defenses, and to make targeted offensive choices for each defense of the Nets with all his strength, focusing on offense!

The Nets did have targeted research on the Eagles, but Liu Mang's ever-changing style of play and his familiarity with the Nets' defense allowed him to find ways to target them.

Instead, the Nets' offense was restricted by the Eagles. At the start, Liu Mang scored 4 points and 2 assists, helping the Eagles to a 9-0 start!

Finally, the Nets relied on Kenyon Martin's supplementary dunk to push Richard Jefferson's mid-range shot back to the basket after being interfered by Raheem. The Nets broke the embarrassment of 4 points in the 0th minute of the game.

Immediately after the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang pushed forward and saw the Nets blocked the line, guarding against the Eagles' two-wing cut, Liu Mang asked Rasheed Wallace to come out for a pick-and-roll again, Kidd and Kenyon Martin still wanted to block Liu Mang's cut-in route, this time Liu Mang was ruthless and wanted to wave!

Take a step behind Rasheed Wallace, use Rasheed Wallace as a gun rack, and directly pull a three-pointer!

In these two games, Liu Mang played very steadily. Suddenly there was a wave, and Kidd couldn't react. Liu Mang felt hot in the beginning, and hit a three-pointer with a pick-and-roll one step across the three-point line!

12 to 2, the Eagles started with a 12 to 2 scoring shock wave!

With 7 points and 2 assists in the start, all the Eagles' scores are directly related to Liu Mang!

The fans at the scene were already going crazy, and the Nets finally couldn't sit still. Byron Scott originally wanted to continue to learn from his teacher Phil Jackson and hand over the court to the players, but now, Kidd is facing the Hawks.

The frenzied atmosphere at the scene made the Nets even more irritable when they were behind. Kidd and Kenyon Martin had already complained to each other that the opponent's defense was not in place in time.

After returning from the timeout, the Eagles replaced Ratliff and Prince with Kwame Brown and Barnes. Coach Kruger saw that Liu Mang was feeling hot today, and decisively arranged Liu Mang's throwing tactics.

On the Nets side, Mourning and Kenyon Martin were replaced to enhance the mobility inside and want to prevent the Eagles' offensive tactics.

Their arrangement, of course, is still defensive, and the Nets' offense has always been handed over to Kidd.

However, the Eagles stopped playing tactics and let Liu Mang play singles on the outside, while the others rushed to grab the rebound, and then turned around to defend deadly, slowing down the tempo as much as possible.

The Eagles made the same choice as after creating a lead in the previous game!Playing the Nets already has a successful experience!
However, Liu Mang's hand feeling in this game was excellent. Liu Mang, who devoted himself to the offensive end, was not afraid of Kidd's defense, and just did it with the ball!

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Nets by 25 points 11 to 14!
Liu Mang scored 14 points and 3 assists in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Stockton brought Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Muhammad up, and the Nets fought for half a quarter to ease the rhythm. When the official timeout was reached, the Eagles tied with the Nets for more than half a quarter. They scored 16 to 16 in the half quarter, and the two teams reached a 41 to 27 tie.

But then, the Hawks once again switched to Liu Mang’s singles, and the other four defended and grabbed rebounds, and suddenly tightened the rhythm. The Nets had no good way to deal with it. Coach Byron Scott could only switch to the defensive lineup and the Eagles to fight for defense. 5!Leading by 15 points at halftime!
During the halftime break, there seemed to be something wrong with the Nets' locker room. At the beginning of the second half, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin both broke out, while the Hawks led by more than 20 points at halftime. It was inevitable that the defense was a little lax. The Nets beat the Hawks 8-0 at the beginning of the third quarter, and it seemed to be starting.

But Liu Mang and Jason Terry immediately responded with 4 three-pointers, three of which were made by Jason Terryson. It was a shame in the last game. After the Nets played 8-0, they responded with a 12-6. Although Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin broke out, they only narrowed the point difference by two points in the first half.

After the Hawks stabilized the situation, Liu Mang and Jason Terry started to get more and more turbulent. In the third quarter, when the defense of both teams began to slack, Liu Mang and Jason Terry scored 26 points in a single quarter and survived the Nets' counterattack.

Liu Mang scored 37 points in three quarters!
At the end of the quarter, the Eagles held on to the point difference, and there was no possibility of a comeback for the Nets. Stockton came up to hold the line, brought Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown up to give the Nets a final crit, and the Nets collapsed in the final quarter!
