From today on is the king
Chapter 703 702. Trust
Chapter 703 702. Trust
During the break, the Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Barnes, Raheem, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown's iron-blooded muscular combination.
This lineup is completely prepared for Liu Mang's defensive lineup. Raheem averaged 11 points and 13.9 rebounds per game, Muhammad averaged 5 points and 6 rebounds per game, and Kwame Brown averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds per game. Including Barnes, he averaged 41 points and 4 rebounds per game in 4.4 games.
The Kings also began to rotate. Peja continued to play without a break. He is the Kings' offensive arrow, second only to Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant. , So put on Bobby Jackson and Gerald Wallace.
Webber continued to play, and Divac replaced Brad Miller.
The intermission is over and the Kings have the ball.
Liu Mang looked at Gerald Wallace, his ability rating was as high as 80, and he averaged 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks in 0.4 minutes per game. This efficiency is not bad. I really don't understand that such a guy with excellent physical fitness who is desperate for only a few minutes on the court, can't be reused!
If it weren't for his team's too many strikers, Prince would have to play shooting guard. Liu Mang suggested that the team trade him a long time ago. This first-round pick in the same class is a real buried talent.
Seeing Bobby Jackson receiving the serve and pushing forward, Liu Mang immediately pressed up to defend, constantly oppressing his body.
Bobby Jackson, the favorite of the best sixth man, with a height of 1.8 meters 77 and an ability rating of [-], is enough to serve as a substitute for the main point guard. Adelman wanted to improve the physical fitness of the team to counteract the suppression of the Eagles' physical fitness, but unexpectedly, the Eagles replaced him with a man with full physical fitness in the second year!
Bobby Jackson's physical fitness is not bad, but at most it is similar to Liu Mang's physical fitness. He has more explosive power, but Liu Mang's height and speed are faster. As soon as Bobby Jackson got beyond the three-point line, Liu Mang immediately launched a dog-like plaster defense.
Bobby Jackson is not the kind of organization-type backup point guard, but a scoring type. He is not good at using pick-and-rolls, and he can also break through and score the ball with assists.
Bobby Jackson rushed to the three-second zone under the pressure of Liu Mang. During the breakthrough, he looked at his teammates. He had no chance to pass the ball at all, so he could only shoot by himself.
Liu Mang didn't hesitate. He didn't think Bobby Jackson would make a stop jump shot at all. The difference in height and wingspan between the two was obvious. He didn't lose his position, so he could interfere with the opponent's stop jump shot while standing.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Liu Mang, Bobby Jackson could only lean back and make a shot.
Only then did Liu Mang jump up to interfere, and Bobby Jackson leaned back and shot almost without seeing the basket!
As expected of being the best sixth man favorite, Bobby Jackson made a close-range mid-range jumper against Liu Mang's defense!
30 to 24, the point difference came to 6 points.
Liu Mang smiled helplessly, came to the bottom line and waited for the serve.
Although the Kings don't have a superstar, even Webber was not a superstar in his peak period, but their overall strength is too strong. It's not without reason that they almost eliminated the Lakers back then, and these role players are still very young. If it weren't for Weber's successive serious injuries, their strength would not have declined so much.
The offense and defense switched, the Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.
Seeing the lineup of the Eagles, the Kings immediately judged that the one-shot, four-grab style that the Eagles occasionally used was coming again. Gerald Wallace went to defend Liu Mang, and the others began to block the Eagles from cutting inside to grab rebounds.
Liu Mang dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line and saw Gerald Wallace pressing up, with an ability rating of 80, offense 69, and defense 86. Such a 22-year-old small forward, the Kings actually used it to guard the drinking fountain!What a waste!
But even with such a little playing time, Gerald Wallace is very focused as long as he is on the court, stepping on beautiful small steps, and predicting Liu Mang's offensive choice.
With Gerald Wallace's size and mobility, Liu Mang felt really pressured by this guy's defense. This guy's defense is better than Barnes'!Both physical fitness and defensive skills should be better!
Liu Mang began to spray: "Gerald, come to our team next season! You are too wasteful in the Kings, they won't employ people!"
Gerald Wallace, who was concentrating on defending Liu Mang, didn't expect Liu Mang to say such a sentence to him suddenly, and was taken aback for a moment.
Liu Mang kept staring at Gerald Wallace, seeing that Gerald Wallace's eyes suddenly wandered, he immediately accelerated and rushed from the right side of Gerald Wallace.
Gerald Wallace reacted immediately, but the situation on the court changed in an instant, and Gerald Wallace's defense could no longer keep up with just a few tenths of a second of distraction!
Liu Mang threw off Gerald Wallace and rushed to the basket. The Kings' Bobby Jackson, who was going to pinch Liu Mang from outside, went to block Barnes from rushing for rebounds. They thought that Liu Mang would definitely start a few blind shots in this lineup. Liu Mang was already famous for his teammate's rebounding advantage. They didn't expect Liu Mang to break through!
And Adelman looked down on Gerald Wallace, mainly because Gerald Wallace couldn't pass the ball, and his shooting was poor. He only made 1 three-pointer in three years, and he couldn't catch Adelman's eyes because of his good defense. Christie became the main force because of his ability to average 10+ points per game and his passing ability to average 4+ assists per game.
Gerald Wallace's single defense ability is still trusted by his teammates, but Liu Mang gave it to him all of a sudden!
Liu Mang rushed to the basket, Kwame Brown backed away immediately, Liu Mang saw only Divac left under the basket, did not slow down, and took off towards Divac!Prepare to dunk through Divac!
Divac actually didn't back down, and even stood up one step ahead of time to block Liu Mang. The moment Liu Mang flew out and was about to collide with Divac, Liu Mang saw Divac fall down before he felt the contact!
"Ding... Dive master level 5 is triggered. When the flop is in the blind spot of the referee's vision, the chance of the referee calling a penalty is greatly increased. It comes from Vlad Divac."
Just as Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket, the referee blew his whistle!
Hit someone with the ball!
Liu Mang was called for an offensive foul!
So cheap!
Liu Mang stared in astonishment at Divac, who was lying on the ground clutching his stomach, and his expression was painful as if he had been hit so hard. He never expected that this guy actually started flopping!
The Kings are still ahead!
It’s just that!
Liu Mang immediately said to the referee, "He's a flop!"
The referee ignored Liu Mang, not because he didn't know that Divac might be diving, but from his sight, Liu Mang did have contact with Divac.
Divac is too good at using this perspective to influence the referee's decisions.
The referee ignored Liu Mang's complaints. Liu Mang saw that the referee confirmed the foul and immediately felt his stomach pain go away. Divac, who got up, felt bad!
So cheap!
The South American flopping kings in Argentina haven’t started to shine yet. Pippen’s generation of flopping masters, that is, Pippen and Divac, are getting old. Except for being on guard against Brad Miller’s flopping, Liu Mang didn’t pay much attention to such things at other times. Relatively speaking, there are a little less flopping in the East, so Liu Mang didn’t encounter many flops. He didn’t expect one to come unexpectedly!
Liu Mang returned to defense helplessly.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Kings attack, after Bobby Jackson advanced to the frontcourt, he immediately passed to Divac who mentioned the high post, Weber fell to the low post to rely on Muhammad, and the high and low post organization offense of the twin towers in the Princeton system began!
The Kings continued to intersperse and move, using passes to cut the Eagles' melee defense.
When Liu Mang was chasing Peja, he was blocked by Gerald Wallace. Barnes switched defenses to chase Peja. Liu Mang ignored Gerald Wallace and went around Gerald Wallace to continue chasing Peja.
Peja received the ball from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left. Seeing Barnes and Liu Mang attacking, Peja's passing ability was also very good.
But immediately Peja regretted it!
You might as well come by yourself!Gerald - Wallace's open two points are actually three points!
It is true that the tactics of the Kings can create a lot of open shooting opportunities. Peja and Webber are both very defensive, but it is not without reason that Gerald Wallace is not reused by Adelman. It is normal for Adelman to look down on Gerald Wallace. He simply does not match the Kings!This kind of vacancy cast a three-point stick!
The ball flew straight out of the baseline.
The ball went out of bounds, and the Eagles backcourt.
It's time for the Eagles to attack again, and the two teams are on the same page.
Gerald Wallace blocked Liu Mang's outside line, and Divac was under the basket with a posture that if you dare to come in, you will dare to fall.
Can Liu Mang bear this?
Diving?Who is afraid of whom!
Seeing that Gerald Wallace regained his concentration, it was very difficult for Liu Mang to break through and pass Gerald Wallace, so he beckoned Kwame Brown to come out for a pick-and-roll.
Kwame Brown came out to help Liu Mang block Gerald Wallace, Liu Mang cut in, and Divac followed, trying to delay Liu Mang's breakthrough.
What Liu Mang was waiting for was now!At the moment when Gerald Wallace pressed up, Liu Mang took the initiative to grab the ball and hit it!With a scream, he threw the ball towards the basket as hard as he could, and then fell backwards.
Divac's reaction was also extremely fast. As a generation of flopping masters, Divac let out a scream the moment Liu Mang hit him, and fell backwards.
The movement of the two falling down appeared almost at the same time, and the screams also appeared almost at the same time...
The referee was dumbfounded. The ball flew out and wiped the net and flew out of the baseline. The referee didn't blow the whistle for a while!After the ball hit the sponge of the basket, the referee blew his whistle.
How should this be punished?
Both Liu Mang and Divac fell to the ground, the scene was very embarrassing!
No matter which side is calling the foul, at least give a foul!
Liu Mang didn't expect Divac's reaction to be so fast. He really deserves to be a master of flopping, but his skill is still not enough!Divac didn't expect Liu Mang's foul-making action to be so realistic.
A level 5 master of Pingci and a level 5 diving master. The influence of the two on the referee's whistle was offset, so the referee did not call for a foul.
This ball is the whistle that sounds when the ball hits the sponge of the basket and goes out of bounds, that is to say, the ball is out of bounds!
The referee didn't know how to call the two fouls, so he didn't call the foul at all, because the first time he judged, he really couldn't tell who made the foul. Both Master Pengci and Master Diving made reasonable use of the rules!It doesn't matter if the referee wants to call a foul, it's all right, but if he doesn't call it, he doesn't call it, and he can't make up a foul.
It was so embarrassing when Liu Mang and Divac were helped up by their teammates!
The scene was quiet. When Divac flopped last time, the scene was booed. This time Liu Mang also flopped, but failed. The fans felt so ashamed...
Liu Mang and Divac looked at each other, both saw the "comment" in each other's eyes, and felt that the other was too cheap!He actually wanted to make a foul, completely ignoring that he was also making a foul...
Not to mention, the two of them suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other...
……
Since it was out of bounds, it was necessary to determine which side hit the ball last. The referee looked back and found that Liu Mang was holding the ball and throwing the ball out, then touched Divac's arm, and the ball deviated from Liu Mang's throw to the basket and went out of bounds.
That is to say, Divac blocked Liu Mang's shot with his arm, counted as a block, and the Eagles' frontcourt baseline ball...
Both Liu Mang and Divac began to be afraid of the opponent's diving, and the offense and defense began to normalize.
Liu Mang used his teammate’s rebounding ability to shoot, and used Kwame Brown’s pick-and-roll to break through and score or distribute the ball to teammates in the air. The king’s side, Divac and Webber’s high and low support teammates’ Princeton tactics also began to flow normally. Peja and Bobby Jackson threw the ball when they received it.
I have to say that Peja and Bobby Jackson are really accurate, and Divac and Webber have high ball quotients. They not only play for their teammates, but also use the opponent's defensive changes brought about by their teammates' running positions to create scoring opportunities for themselves.
The Eagles' attempt to rely on their physical fitness to oppress the Kings did not have any obvious effect, and the Kings' defense was not particularly good. Facing the Eagles' rogue style of play, there was no good way. They could only block defense as much as possible and grab rebounds as much as possible.
The scores of the two teams became anxious.
After the official timeout of the second quarter, the Eagles scored 16 points in more than six minutes, raising the total score to 40 points, while the Kings scored 17 points, raising the total score to 45 points.
The difference is still about 5 points.
The score continued to be anxious.
……
During the official timeout, coach Kruger wanted to make some changes to break the deadlock on the court.
Liu Mang was replaced and came to rest on the sidelines. Watching the last few minutes of the first half, Stockton and Jason Terry led Korver, Boozer, and Ostertag to go up and try to use offense. Since the defense can't guard against the combination of so many stars of the Kings, they will fight for offense. The Eagles, second only to the Mavericks in the league this season, are not vegetarians.
On Adelman's side, Gerald Wallace was replaced. Since he can't defend, then use a more fierce attack!The head coach of the Western Conference is so chic and unrestrained!Coach Adelman was unwilling to go to the East as the head coach throughout his life because he was obsessed with offense.
The Kings returned Bibby and Brad Miller, two more scoring players. Divac and Gerald Wallace were replaced, and Bobby Jackson, Webber, and Peja continued to play.
Liu Mang looked at Stockton and Boozer as the core, with Korver and Jason Terry as the two major pitchers, and Ostertag, who has the highest commanding height under the basket, to respond to the players. Basically, he gave up defense and played an all-offensive game. Moreover, Korver came back almost an hour later. Driven by the better organizational skills of Stockton and Boozer, he also started to make three-pointers, but he still failed to gain an advantage. I can only admire the Kings' offense!
The Kings are the only team that has not been swept by the Eagles in the regular season except for the Spurs and Mavericks in the past three years. Including this season, the other 26 teams have been swept by the Eagles in the past three years. Only the Kings, Spurs, and Mavericks have defeated the Eagles at least once in the past two seasons!
After halftime, the Eagles were 56 to 60, still 4 points behind the Kings!
……
During the intermission, Liu Mang watched the statistics of the first half in the locker room.
On the offensive end, apart from the first few minutes, the Eagles had no problems. After Liu Mang started with 8-of-1 shots, he also shot pretty well. After halftime, he played 19 minutes and made 16 of 6 shots.
The main thing is that you can't prevent it!
Prince and Rasheed Wallace rested, which had a huge impact on the Eagles. No one could guard against Webber. Webber now looks more like an old man's style of play, which is much less entertaining than before. It seems that the sense of presence is also a lot lower, but after halftime, he still had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Brad Miller was the most surprising. He played fast, scored more goals and hit more irons, and rebounded a lot.
In addition, Bibby and Peja are both good passers, and the Kings team's offensive play with an average of 27 assists per game is indeed difficult to defend!
If Prince is here, Liu Mang and Prince can defend Bibby and Peja, and Rasheed Wallace can limit Webber. Liu Mang thinks it will be much easier to play, but for the playoffs that are about to start in a month, in order to reserve physical strength, they can only take rotations, which is also impossible.
Only fight!
Whether it is Coach Kruger or Mike Woodson, neither of them has a very good defensive strategy. There is no problem on the offensive end.Even Liu Mang didn't have a good way, the king's style of play almost killed the peak OK combination!
……
After the start of the second half, the anxious offensive battle between the Eagles and the Kings continued.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry played wildly, and Raheem, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown continued to attack the basket and grab rebounds.
Kings once again sent the starting lineup, Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Brad - Miller's lineup.
Brad Miller, who is younger and better at shooting and rebounding, made up for Divac's aging Kings. The offense when the five tiger lineups gathered together was really difficult to defend. The defensive end was not as good as before, but the offensive end was really strong.
The two teams did not make substitutions in the third quarter, and even the two teams did not commit many fouls. The game went on very smoothly, with a super high score of 34 to 33.
After three quarters, the Eagles chased the score to 90-93!
The two teams scored a terrifying score!
The Eagles scored almost all of their points in the third quarter on Liu Mang and Jason Terry. The two scored 25 points together. Liu Mang scored 9 of 6 and scored 13 points. There was no good chance for three-pointers.
The scoring on the Kings side is very average. All five players score. Whoever has a chance shoots. All five players average more than 3 assists per game. There is no solution to this passing ability!
In the fourth quarter, the tense situation remained unchanged. Indeed, the strength of the two teams was really evenly matched in terms of their lineups!The Eagles are at their best, while the Kings have fallen a lot compared to their peak, so the Eagles lack Prince and Rasheed Wallace, and the strength of the two teams is comparable.
The Kings gained a little lead by relying on the Eagles' own judgment error at the start, and kept the weak lead until the end!
With more than a minute left in the final quarter, as Peja hit the fifth three-pointer in a single game, the Kings still led by 127 points 123 to 4!
The Eagles call a timeout!
……
Liu Mang has scored 41 points!The final quarter has scored 11 points, but Peja in the regular season is really good, and he also scored 40 points quietly. His crooked mid-range and long-range shots are really good.
Except for the 5-minute break in the second quarter, Liu Mang didn't rest for a second during the rest of the time, and he took several rounds of physical potions.
Try to defend as much as you can, but you can't!
However, compared to the previous two seasons, every time the Eagles met the Kings with an all-main lineup, they were beaten unnecessarily. Now that they are missing two core players, they can still hold on. Thinking of this, Liu Mang feels more confident!
Kill the Kings!
Liu Mang's fighting spirit is extremely high now!
This kind of strong fighting spirit has always affected his teammates. The Eagles did not collapse in front of the strong firepower of the Kings. The positive influence brought by Liu Mang is indispensable!
Still behind by 4 points, with one minute and seven seconds left, it's not like there is no chance!
Liu Mang and his teammates returned to the bench. Mike Woodson just handed out the tactical board, and Liu Mang immediately took it.
Coach Kruger touched his big forehead. He felt that his forehead seemed to be getting bigger and bigger for no reason!He felt that his hairline was a few tenths of a millimeter higher at this moment...
But now, coach Kruger really has no good solution. His biggest advantage is similar to that of Zen master. If the players have their own ideas for solutions, he is willing to see the players solve the problems by themselves. After all, the game is played by the players.
Most importantly, he believed in Liu Mang!
Liu Mang looked at Raheem. Today Raheem only rested for a few minutes, that is, in the second half of the second quarter, he took a rest for a few minutes. With 14 points and 22 rebounds, Raheem also worked hard today.
"Sharif, can you still fight?" Liu Mang stimulated Rahim's fighting spirit with a provocative tone.
Hearing Liu Mang's tone, Rahim certainly knew what Liu Mang meant. He was a threat on the court, after all, he was a first-class scorer who averaged 20+ per game for several years.
Raheem wiped his sweat, curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Music Kang, those guys are nothing worth mentioning!"
Raheem's role on the court is very important. Even if he stands still, the opponent has to be marked. His ability to cut and grab rebounds is the strongest in both teams. This year's rebounding champion is not just given.
He and Raheem are definitely going to play. Liu Mang looked at the other teammates. Jason Terry is definitely going to play. This guy made 6 of 3 three-pointers in the third quarter, 3 of 2 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and a three-pointer in the second quarter. The audience scored 6 three-pointers, which is the key for the Eagles to bite the score!
At the critical moment, Ratliff must also play.
Myself, Jason Terry, Raheem, Ratliff...
Everyone was looking forward to playing at the critical moment. Seeing that Liu Mang named Jason Terry, Raheem, and Ratliff, there was still one position left, and the big insiders were looking forward to it.
On the defensive end, it is enough for Ratliff to guard the basket, but he is really unstoppable from the outside. Liu Mang thought about it and saw Korver who made a three-pointer in the second quarter and a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. Let him be it!
"Keller, come on!" Liu Mang pointed to Korver.
"Huh?" Korver never expected that he would be replaced at a critical moment!
"You can't do it? Forget it..."
"I'm going! I can do it!" Korver jumped up excitedly.
For Korver to become a great pitcher in the future, Liu Mang has always had great expectations. Although Korver performed poorly in the first quarter and only made 7 of 2 20-pointers in the game, there is no other better choice than Korver at this time to open up space. Stockton played for nearly [-] minutes and played as the main ball handler. Don't torment him for a regular season. In the future, you always need to take on more responsibilities yourself!
After confirming the lineup, Liu Mang called several teammates who were playing together, and began to arrange the offensive play...
Hearing Liu Mang's offensive arrangement, some people were terrified, and some felt that it was too unreliable!
……
The Eagles have deployed Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Korver, Raheem, and Ratliff with a lineup of one and four.
Kings side, Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Brad - Miller's starting lineup continued to play.
The physical fitness of the Kings is almost reaching its limit. Adelman, who used the main force to death, continued to exert his attributes in this aspect today. Except for Brad Miller, who had Divac as a substitute, he only played for a little over 30 minutes. Bibby and Christie, who had Bobby Jackson as a substitute, only played 36 minutes and 38 minutes.
After the timeout ended, the Eagles had the ball. After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Jason Terry.
Jason Terry trusts Liu Mang, but he is not used to playing such a tactical role. He has not been a playmaker for a long time!But after using his brain a little, he understood that Liu Mang's idea was the best choice.
Jason Terry holds the ball in the top arc, making a posture to break the offense.
Jason Terry scored 29 points today, second only to Liu Mang and Peja. His pull-up jumper and pull-up three-pointer made the Kings frightened.
Originally, Christie wanted to defend against Liu Mang, but when he saw Liu Mang pass the ball to Jason Terry, he thought that Liu Mang, who had already thrown the ball 35 times, could not keep up, so he immediately switched to Jason Terry.
Liu Mang saw that Bibby switched to him, and immediately cut to the inside. Bibby, a short point guard, really works at critical moments!Sticking to Liu Mang was not thrown away by Liu Mang.
Rahim stood up to block Bibi, and Bibi also went around nimbly.
Liu Mang continued to run, entered the basket, and caught the pick-and-roll again. Ratliff's huge body finally blocked Bibby. Liu Mang went around the baseline and freed from the left side of the basket.
When Liu Mang made an empty cut and ran back, Jason Terry's breakthrough also started. He moved towards the line that Liu Mang just cut into, forced a breakthrough, and was firmly stuck by Christie. He couldn't get rid of the defense at all and was pushed off the line, but that was enough!
When it was a big step on the right side of the free throw line, Jason Terry saw Ratliff blocking Bibby, and immediately threw it to the left of the three-second zone, full of tacit understanding!Liu Mang just ran out to receive it!
However, the Kings obviously had targeted arrangements for Liu Mang. Peja and Webb attacked Liu Mang just as soon as he received the ball.
However, this is what Liu Mang wanted!Liu Mang immediately gave it to Korver who came to the left corner. Korver received the ball, his hands were trembling, he suppressed the mixed emotions of fear and excitement in his heart, and shot a three-pointer!
Liu Mang is full of expectations for Korver's three-pointer, but sometimes, some players have to be given time and opportunities to make mistakes. Korver's hand is still shaking when he makes a shot, and it is so crooked!
Fortunately, it was Rahim who held his breath. When Liu Mang pulled Webber out of the three-second zone, he grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked the ball into the basket!
Raheem made a second offensive dunk and scored two points, and let out a roar! 16 points and 23 rebounds!He has tried his best!
125 to 127, with two points left!
The Eagles retreated immediately. At this stage, the Eagles had the best physical strength on the court. Except for Liu Mang, it was Ratliff, so there was no problem in retreating.
After receiving the serve, Bibby advances to the frontcourt. The Eagles' side Raheem's physical fitness has reached its limit, and the Kings are not much better. Webber is in the low post, which attracts Ratliff. Brad Miller pulls up to the high post and brings Raheem out.
It is Bibby's current idea to use Webber's defensive restraint to make a fuss. He is not going to give the ball to Brad Miller, but he is going to do it himself!Bibby is hard at the critical moment!
But as soon as Bibby got beyond the three-point line, he saw two guys attacking him!
When Liu Mang and Jason Terry saw Bibby go beyond the three-point line, they immediately double-teamed him!
This is Liu Mang's strategy. Korver, who can run, runs after Peja. He and Jason Terry flank the key capable Bibby!
Force Bibby to pass!The biggest threat to the Kings at critical moments is Bibby with the ball.
Bibby was forced to pass the ball if he didn't want to pass. As soon as the two came up, Bibby realized that if he was surrounded by two double-teams, it would be difficult for him to pass the ball at only 1.8 meters [-], so he passed the ball to Christie immediately.
Liu Mang pounced on Christie immediately after Bibby passed the ball, Jason Terry started to circle forward immediately, and the rest of the Eagles also tried their best to cut off the connection between Christie and the rest of the Kings.
Christie didn't expect that he would be wide open, anyway, he is a three-point shooter with a 30.00% four-point shooting rate!
After hesitating for a while, Liu Mang had already rushed in front of him!
After Liu Mang threw himself in front of Christie, he immediately started to press the defense. At this critical moment, as long as there is no excessive foul action, the referee will not blow it. This is the peak year of the oppression defense in the NBA in the past 60 years.
It was difficult for Christie to dribble the ball, let alone grab the ball and pass it. He was terrified that Liu Mang still maintained this defensive oppression at this time!
Liu Mang ran with all his strength throughout the game, and now he still has such physical fitness!
Seeing that he was about to be intercepted and had no chance to pass the ball, Christie could only grab the ball and step back for a three-pointer to force a shot!
Under Liu Mang's interference, Christie almost missed the basket with a three-pointer this time!Ratliff's deployment at the critical moment was really useful and experienced. The main reason was that Webber, who was not too fat, stuck Webber aside and grabbed a defensive rebound!
Stop it!
31 seconds left!Two points behind!
After Ratliff grabbed the rebound, Weber hugged Ratliff directly. Weber, who is very sensitive to fouls, knew that the Kings only made two fouls in the fourth quarter, and it was not time for foul free throws, so he decisively chose a tactical foul to prevent the Eagles from fast break.
Since Ratliff had the ball in his hands, it was just an ordinary foul, which did not trigger O'Neal's law, and the Eagles had the ball in the backcourt.
Liu Mang received the referee's ball, sent it to Jason Terry, and then continued to play without the ball after reaching the frontcourt.
Liu Mang wanted to come to the ball by himself, but after continuously borrowing the pick and roll from Raheem and Ratliff, not only Webb and Peja came to flank him, Bibby also actively circled around, and the three of them flanked Liu Mang!
Liu Mang chose to trust Korver again in the pinch of the three.
Korver received a pass from Liu Mang, and this time it was a bit broken. After he hit the iron last time, he seemed to have seen his end on the bench. This time, he simply thought about it. He didn't even think about receiving the ball, and just threw it out just like training!
There was no adjustment, but Korver had the feeling of catching and throwing the ball in his usual training!
Finally, Liu Mang's trust in his teammates was rewarded, and Korver hit a three-pointer at a critical moment!
128 to 127, the Eagles overtook by one point!
17 seconds left!
This time it's the Kings' turn to call a timeout!
After Korver scored, he was stunned!He looked at his hands in disbelief, and then... was pressed to the ground by a group of teammates...
……
Finally overtook the score!
Coach Kruger got the pointer again, replaced both Korver and Raheem, and then defense!
The lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Kwame Brown and Ratliff played.
Chasing and defending Peja, double-teaming Bibby's expansion defense, basket protection, and Kwame Brown's super mobility and good rebound protection ability, the Eagles sent the best defensive lineup that can be formed among the existing players with decent physical fitness!
Back from the timeout, the Kings hit the last attack with 17 seconds left.
Bibby pressed the tempo and advanced to the frontcourt. In his opinion, he should play faster now, but the fact that his teammates can't play is a key point. Adelman wants to overwhelm the last moment before making a shot is an order that Bibby cannot defy.
Webber, Peja... Bibby found a trustworthy teammate at the critical moment, but he couldn't seem to find it!
The Kings team was indeed at the end of their battle. After Bibby pressed the tempo and advanced to the frontcourt, he was immediately double-teamed by Liu Mang and Jason Terry. Bibby had anticipated this situation a long time ago, so he suggested that Adelman should replace his teammates with physical strength and play fast. He was only one point behind, and there was a chance to play fast.
But Adelman trusted the main players more. After Bibby was flanked, he gave the ball to Christie. Christie had already reached the limit of his physical fitness in the struggle against Liu Mang and Jason Terry. The Kings had never encountered such an anxious game in the regular season.
Christie's open three-point shot was short!
Ratliff made an accurate judgment at the critical moment, and instead of grabbing the rebound, he shot the ball out of the three-point line. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and ran towards the frontcourt. Bibby wanted to catch up and fouled, but Liu Mang snaked his position, and when there were two seconds left, he threw the ball into the air!
Finally, after a whole game, when the players of both teams were exhausted, after the only guy who could still fly ran out of time, the game was finally over!
刘莽全场拿到41分6板8助攻,关键时刻信任队友,也得到了回报!主场128比127击败了国王队!三年来首次常规赛横扫国王!
The Mavericks and Spurs are left, and the Hawks have been the only two teams that have not swept the regular season in the past three years!
After defeating the Kings, the Eagles' record improved to 59 wins and 9 losses!It is only one game away from the fastest 60 wins since the new century!
Sorry for the update, [-]D is the best way to make up for the two hours late!Ask for a monthly ticket, the last two days~
(End of this chapter)
During the break, the Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Barnes, Raheem, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown's iron-blooded muscular combination.
This lineup is completely prepared for Liu Mang's defensive lineup. Raheem averaged 11 points and 13.9 rebounds per game, Muhammad averaged 5 points and 6 rebounds per game, and Kwame Brown averaged 8 points and 7 rebounds per game. Including Barnes, he averaged 41 points and 4 rebounds per game in 4.4 games.
The Kings also began to rotate. Peja continued to play without a break. He is the Kings' offensive arrow, second only to Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady and Kobe Bryant. , So put on Bobby Jackson and Gerald Wallace.
Webber continued to play, and Divac replaced Brad Miller.
The intermission is over and the Kings have the ball.
Liu Mang looked at Gerald Wallace, his ability rating was as high as 80, and he averaged 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks in 0.4 minutes per game. This efficiency is not bad. I really don't understand that such a guy with excellent physical fitness who is desperate for only a few minutes on the court, can't be reused!
If it weren't for his team's too many strikers, Prince would have to play shooting guard. Liu Mang suggested that the team trade him a long time ago. This first-round pick in the same class is a real buried talent.
Seeing Bobby Jackson receiving the serve and pushing forward, Liu Mang immediately pressed up to defend, constantly oppressing his body.
Bobby Jackson, the favorite of the best sixth man, with a height of 1.8 meters 77 and an ability rating of [-], is enough to serve as a substitute for the main point guard. Adelman wanted to improve the physical fitness of the team to counteract the suppression of the Eagles' physical fitness, but unexpectedly, the Eagles replaced him with a man with full physical fitness in the second year!
Bobby Jackson's physical fitness is not bad, but at most it is similar to Liu Mang's physical fitness. He has more explosive power, but Liu Mang's height and speed are faster. As soon as Bobby Jackson got beyond the three-point line, Liu Mang immediately launched a dog-like plaster defense.
Bobby Jackson is not the kind of organization-type backup point guard, but a scoring type. He is not good at using pick-and-rolls, and he can also break through and score the ball with assists.
Bobby Jackson rushed to the three-second zone under the pressure of Liu Mang. During the breakthrough, he looked at his teammates. He had no chance to pass the ball at all, so he could only shoot by himself.
Liu Mang didn't hesitate. He didn't think Bobby Jackson would make a stop jump shot at all. The difference in height and wingspan between the two was obvious. He didn't lose his position, so he could interfere with the opponent's stop jump shot while standing.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Liu Mang, Bobby Jackson could only lean back and make a shot.
Only then did Liu Mang jump up to interfere, and Bobby Jackson leaned back and shot almost without seeing the basket!
As expected of being the best sixth man favorite, Bobby Jackson made a close-range mid-range jumper against Liu Mang's defense!
30 to 24, the point difference came to 6 points.
Liu Mang smiled helplessly, came to the bottom line and waited for the serve.
Although the Kings don't have a superstar, even Webber was not a superstar in his peak period, but their overall strength is too strong. It's not without reason that they almost eliminated the Lakers back then, and these role players are still very young. If it weren't for Weber's successive serious injuries, their strength would not have declined so much.
The offense and defense switched, the Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.
Seeing the lineup of the Eagles, the Kings immediately judged that the one-shot, four-grab style that the Eagles occasionally used was coming again. Gerald Wallace went to defend Liu Mang, and the others began to block the Eagles from cutting inside to grab rebounds.
Liu Mang dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line and saw Gerald Wallace pressing up, with an ability rating of 80, offense 69, and defense 86. Such a 22-year-old small forward, the Kings actually used it to guard the drinking fountain!What a waste!
But even with such a little playing time, Gerald Wallace is very focused as long as he is on the court, stepping on beautiful small steps, and predicting Liu Mang's offensive choice.
With Gerald Wallace's size and mobility, Liu Mang felt really pressured by this guy's defense. This guy's defense is better than Barnes'!Both physical fitness and defensive skills should be better!
Liu Mang began to spray: "Gerald, come to our team next season! You are too wasteful in the Kings, they won't employ people!"
Gerald Wallace, who was concentrating on defending Liu Mang, didn't expect Liu Mang to say such a sentence to him suddenly, and was taken aback for a moment.
Liu Mang kept staring at Gerald Wallace, seeing that Gerald Wallace's eyes suddenly wandered, he immediately accelerated and rushed from the right side of Gerald Wallace.
Gerald Wallace reacted immediately, but the situation on the court changed in an instant, and Gerald Wallace's defense could no longer keep up with just a few tenths of a second of distraction!
Liu Mang threw off Gerald Wallace and rushed to the basket. The Kings' Bobby Jackson, who was going to pinch Liu Mang from outside, went to block Barnes from rushing for rebounds. They thought that Liu Mang would definitely start a few blind shots in this lineup. Liu Mang was already famous for his teammate's rebounding advantage. They didn't expect Liu Mang to break through!
And Adelman looked down on Gerald Wallace, mainly because Gerald Wallace couldn't pass the ball, and his shooting was poor. He only made 1 three-pointer in three years, and he couldn't catch Adelman's eyes because of his good defense. Christie became the main force because of his ability to average 10+ points per game and his passing ability to average 4+ assists per game.
Gerald Wallace's single defense ability is still trusted by his teammates, but Liu Mang gave it to him all of a sudden!
Liu Mang rushed to the basket, Kwame Brown backed away immediately, Liu Mang saw only Divac left under the basket, did not slow down, and took off towards Divac!Prepare to dunk through Divac!
Divac actually didn't back down, and even stood up one step ahead of time to block Liu Mang. The moment Liu Mang flew out and was about to collide with Divac, Liu Mang saw Divac fall down before he felt the contact!
"Ding... Dive master level 5 is triggered. When the flop is in the blind spot of the referee's vision, the chance of the referee calling a penalty is greatly increased. It comes from Vlad Divac."
Just as Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket, the referee blew his whistle!
Hit someone with the ball!
Liu Mang was called for an offensive foul!
So cheap!
Liu Mang stared in astonishment at Divac, who was lying on the ground clutching his stomach, and his expression was painful as if he had been hit so hard. He never expected that this guy actually started flopping!
The Kings are still ahead!
It’s just that!
Liu Mang immediately said to the referee, "He's a flop!"
The referee ignored Liu Mang, not because he didn't know that Divac might be diving, but from his sight, Liu Mang did have contact with Divac.
Divac is too good at using this perspective to influence the referee's decisions.
The referee ignored Liu Mang's complaints. Liu Mang saw that the referee confirmed the foul and immediately felt his stomach pain go away. Divac, who got up, felt bad!
So cheap!
The South American flopping kings in Argentina haven’t started to shine yet. Pippen’s generation of flopping masters, that is, Pippen and Divac, are getting old. Except for being on guard against Brad Miller’s flopping, Liu Mang didn’t pay much attention to such things at other times. Relatively speaking, there are a little less flopping in the East, so Liu Mang didn’t encounter many flops. He didn’t expect one to come unexpectedly!
Liu Mang returned to defense helplessly.
Offensive and defensive transition, the Kings attack, after Bobby Jackson advanced to the frontcourt, he immediately passed to Divac who mentioned the high post, Weber fell to the low post to rely on Muhammad, and the high and low post organization offense of the twin towers in the Princeton system began!
The Kings continued to intersperse and move, using passes to cut the Eagles' melee defense.
When Liu Mang was chasing Peja, he was blocked by Gerald Wallace. Barnes switched defenses to chase Peja. Liu Mang ignored Gerald Wallace and went around Gerald Wallace to continue chasing Peja.
Peja received the ball from outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the left. Seeing Barnes and Liu Mang attacking, Peja's passing ability was also very good.
But immediately Peja regretted it!
You might as well come by yourself!Gerald - Wallace's open two points are actually three points!
It is true that the tactics of the Kings can create a lot of open shooting opportunities. Peja and Webber are both very defensive, but it is not without reason that Gerald Wallace is not reused by Adelman. It is normal for Adelman to look down on Gerald Wallace. He simply does not match the Kings!This kind of vacancy cast a three-point stick!
The ball flew straight out of the baseline.
The ball went out of bounds, and the Eagles backcourt.
It's time for the Eagles to attack again, and the two teams are on the same page.
Gerald Wallace blocked Liu Mang's outside line, and Divac was under the basket with a posture that if you dare to come in, you will dare to fall.
Can Liu Mang bear this?
Diving?Who is afraid of whom!
Seeing that Gerald Wallace regained his concentration, it was very difficult for Liu Mang to break through and pass Gerald Wallace, so he beckoned Kwame Brown to come out for a pick-and-roll.
Kwame Brown came out to help Liu Mang block Gerald Wallace, Liu Mang cut in, and Divac followed, trying to delay Liu Mang's breakthrough.
What Liu Mang was waiting for was now!At the moment when Gerald Wallace pressed up, Liu Mang took the initiative to grab the ball and hit it!With a scream, he threw the ball towards the basket as hard as he could, and then fell backwards.
Divac's reaction was also extremely fast. As a generation of flopping masters, Divac let out a scream the moment Liu Mang hit him, and fell backwards.
The movement of the two falling down appeared almost at the same time, and the screams also appeared almost at the same time...
The referee was dumbfounded. The ball flew out and wiped the net and flew out of the baseline. The referee didn't blow the whistle for a while!After the ball hit the sponge of the basket, the referee blew his whistle.
How should this be punished?
Both Liu Mang and Divac fell to the ground, the scene was very embarrassing!
No matter which side is calling the foul, at least give a foul!
Liu Mang didn't expect Divac's reaction to be so fast. He really deserves to be a master of flopping, but his skill is still not enough!Divac didn't expect Liu Mang's foul-making action to be so realistic.
A level 5 master of Pingci and a level 5 diving master. The influence of the two on the referee's whistle was offset, so the referee did not call for a foul.
This ball is the whistle that sounds when the ball hits the sponge of the basket and goes out of bounds, that is to say, the ball is out of bounds!
The referee didn't know how to call the two fouls, so he didn't call the foul at all, because the first time he judged, he really couldn't tell who made the foul. Both Master Pengci and Master Diving made reasonable use of the rules!It doesn't matter if the referee wants to call a foul, it's all right, but if he doesn't call it, he doesn't call it, and he can't make up a foul.
It was so embarrassing when Liu Mang and Divac were helped up by their teammates!
The scene was quiet. When Divac flopped last time, the scene was booed. This time Liu Mang also flopped, but failed. The fans felt so ashamed...
Liu Mang and Divac looked at each other, both saw the "comment" in each other's eyes, and felt that the other was too cheap!He actually wanted to make a foul, completely ignoring that he was also making a foul...
Not to mention, the two of them suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other...
……
Since it was out of bounds, it was necessary to determine which side hit the ball last. The referee looked back and found that Liu Mang was holding the ball and throwing the ball out, then touched Divac's arm, and the ball deviated from Liu Mang's throw to the basket and went out of bounds.
That is to say, Divac blocked Liu Mang's shot with his arm, counted as a block, and the Eagles' frontcourt baseline ball...
Both Liu Mang and Divac began to be afraid of the opponent's diving, and the offense and defense began to normalize.
Liu Mang used his teammate’s rebounding ability to shoot, and used Kwame Brown’s pick-and-roll to break through and score or distribute the ball to teammates in the air. The king’s side, Divac and Webber’s high and low support teammates’ Princeton tactics also began to flow normally. Peja and Bobby Jackson threw the ball when they received it.
I have to say that Peja and Bobby Jackson are really accurate, and Divac and Webber have high ball quotients. They not only play for their teammates, but also use the opponent's defensive changes brought about by their teammates' running positions to create scoring opportunities for themselves.
The Eagles' attempt to rely on their physical fitness to oppress the Kings did not have any obvious effect, and the Kings' defense was not particularly good. Facing the Eagles' rogue style of play, there was no good way. They could only block defense as much as possible and grab rebounds as much as possible.
The scores of the two teams became anxious.
After the official timeout of the second quarter, the Eagles scored 16 points in more than six minutes, raising the total score to 40 points, while the Kings scored 17 points, raising the total score to 45 points.
The difference is still about 5 points.
The score continued to be anxious.
……
During the official timeout, coach Kruger wanted to make some changes to break the deadlock on the court.
Liu Mang was replaced and came to rest on the sidelines. Watching the last few minutes of the first half, Stockton and Jason Terry led Korver, Boozer, and Ostertag to go up and try to use offense. Since the defense can't guard against the combination of so many stars of the Kings, they will fight for offense. The Eagles, second only to the Mavericks in the league this season, are not vegetarians.
On Adelman's side, Gerald Wallace was replaced. Since he can't defend, then use a more fierce attack!The head coach of the Western Conference is so chic and unrestrained!Coach Adelman was unwilling to go to the East as the head coach throughout his life because he was obsessed with offense.
The Kings returned Bibby and Brad Miller, two more scoring players. Divac and Gerald Wallace were replaced, and Bobby Jackson, Webber, and Peja continued to play.
Liu Mang looked at Stockton and Boozer as the core, with Korver and Jason Terry as the two major pitchers, and Ostertag, who has the highest commanding height under the basket, to respond to the players. Basically, he gave up defense and played an all-offensive game. Moreover, Korver came back almost an hour later. Driven by the better organizational skills of Stockton and Boozer, he also started to make three-pointers, but he still failed to gain an advantage. I can only admire the Kings' offense!
The Kings are the only team that has not been swept by the Eagles in the regular season except for the Spurs and Mavericks in the past three years. Including this season, the other 26 teams have been swept by the Eagles in the past three years. Only the Kings, Spurs, and Mavericks have defeated the Eagles at least once in the past two seasons!
After halftime, the Eagles were 56 to 60, still 4 points behind the Kings!
……
During the intermission, Liu Mang watched the statistics of the first half in the locker room.
On the offensive end, apart from the first few minutes, the Eagles had no problems. After Liu Mang started with 8-of-1 shots, he also shot pretty well. After halftime, he played 19 minutes and made 16 of 6 shots.
The main thing is that you can't prevent it!
Prince and Rasheed Wallace rested, which had a huge impact on the Eagles. No one could guard against Webber. Webber now looks more like an old man's style of play, which is much less entertaining than before. It seems that the sense of presence is also a lot lower, but after halftime, he still had 11 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. Brad Miller was the most surprising. He played fast, scored more goals and hit more irons, and rebounded a lot.
In addition, Bibby and Peja are both good passers, and the Kings team's offensive play with an average of 27 assists per game is indeed difficult to defend!
If Prince is here, Liu Mang and Prince can defend Bibby and Peja, and Rasheed Wallace can limit Webber. Liu Mang thinks it will be much easier to play, but for the playoffs that are about to start in a month, in order to reserve physical strength, they can only take rotations, which is also impossible.
Only fight!
Whether it is Coach Kruger or Mike Woodson, neither of them has a very good defensive strategy. There is no problem on the offensive end.Even Liu Mang didn't have a good way, the king's style of play almost killed the peak OK combination!
……
After the start of the second half, the anxious offensive battle between the Eagles and the Kings continued.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry played wildly, and Raheem, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown continued to attack the basket and grab rebounds.
Kings once again sent the starting lineup, Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Brad - Miller's lineup.
Brad Miller, who is younger and better at shooting and rebounding, made up for Divac's aging Kings. The offense when the five tiger lineups gathered together was really difficult to defend. The defensive end was not as good as before, but the offensive end was really strong.
The two teams did not make substitutions in the third quarter, and even the two teams did not commit many fouls. The game went on very smoothly, with a super high score of 34 to 33.
After three quarters, the Eagles chased the score to 90-93!
The two teams scored a terrifying score!
The Eagles scored almost all of their points in the third quarter on Liu Mang and Jason Terry. The two scored 25 points together. Liu Mang scored 9 of 6 and scored 13 points. There was no good chance for three-pointers.
The scoring on the Kings side is very average. All five players score. Whoever has a chance shoots. All five players average more than 3 assists per game. There is no solution to this passing ability!
In the fourth quarter, the tense situation remained unchanged. Indeed, the strength of the two teams was really evenly matched in terms of their lineups!The Eagles are at their best, while the Kings have fallen a lot compared to their peak, so the Eagles lack Prince and Rasheed Wallace, and the strength of the two teams is comparable.
The Kings gained a little lead by relying on the Eagles' own judgment error at the start, and kept the weak lead until the end!
With more than a minute left in the final quarter, as Peja hit the fifth three-pointer in a single game, the Kings still led by 127 points 123 to 4!
The Eagles call a timeout!
……
Liu Mang has scored 41 points!The final quarter has scored 11 points, but Peja in the regular season is really good, and he also scored 40 points quietly. His crooked mid-range and long-range shots are really good.
Except for the 5-minute break in the second quarter, Liu Mang didn't rest for a second during the rest of the time, and he took several rounds of physical potions.
Try to defend as much as you can, but you can't!
However, compared to the previous two seasons, every time the Eagles met the Kings with an all-main lineup, they were beaten unnecessarily. Now that they are missing two core players, they can still hold on. Thinking of this, Liu Mang feels more confident!
Kill the Kings!
Liu Mang's fighting spirit is extremely high now!
This kind of strong fighting spirit has always affected his teammates. The Eagles did not collapse in front of the strong firepower of the Kings. The positive influence brought by Liu Mang is indispensable!
Still behind by 4 points, with one minute and seven seconds left, it's not like there is no chance!
Liu Mang and his teammates returned to the bench. Mike Woodson just handed out the tactical board, and Liu Mang immediately took it.
Coach Kruger touched his big forehead. He felt that his forehead seemed to be getting bigger and bigger for no reason!He felt that his hairline was a few tenths of a millimeter higher at this moment...
But now, coach Kruger really has no good solution. His biggest advantage is similar to that of Zen master. If the players have their own ideas for solutions, he is willing to see the players solve the problems by themselves. After all, the game is played by the players.
Most importantly, he believed in Liu Mang!
Liu Mang looked at Raheem. Today Raheem only rested for a few minutes, that is, in the second half of the second quarter, he took a rest for a few minutes. With 14 points and 22 rebounds, Raheem also worked hard today.
"Sharif, can you still fight?" Liu Mang stimulated Rahim's fighting spirit with a provocative tone.
Hearing Liu Mang's tone, Rahim certainly knew what Liu Mang meant. He was a threat on the court, after all, he was a first-class scorer who averaged 20+ per game for several years.
Raheem wiped his sweat, curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Music Kang, those guys are nothing worth mentioning!"
Raheem's role on the court is very important. Even if he stands still, the opponent has to be marked. His ability to cut and grab rebounds is the strongest in both teams. This year's rebounding champion is not just given.
He and Raheem are definitely going to play. Liu Mang looked at the other teammates. Jason Terry is definitely going to play. This guy made 6 of 3 three-pointers in the third quarter, 3 of 2 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, and a three-pointer in the second quarter. The audience scored 6 three-pointers, which is the key for the Eagles to bite the score!
At the critical moment, Ratliff must also play.
Myself, Jason Terry, Raheem, Ratliff...
Everyone was looking forward to playing at the critical moment. Seeing that Liu Mang named Jason Terry, Raheem, and Ratliff, there was still one position left, and the big insiders were looking forward to it.
On the defensive end, it is enough for Ratliff to guard the basket, but he is really unstoppable from the outside. Liu Mang thought about it and saw Korver who made a three-pointer in the second quarter and a three-pointer in the fourth quarter. Let him be it!
"Keller, come on!" Liu Mang pointed to Korver.
"Huh?" Korver never expected that he would be replaced at a critical moment!
"You can't do it? Forget it..."
"I'm going! I can do it!" Korver jumped up excitedly.
For Korver to become a great pitcher in the future, Liu Mang has always had great expectations. Although Korver performed poorly in the first quarter and only made 7 of 2 20-pointers in the game, there is no other better choice than Korver at this time to open up space. Stockton played for nearly [-] minutes and played as the main ball handler. Don't torment him for a regular season. In the future, you always need to take on more responsibilities yourself!
After confirming the lineup, Liu Mang called several teammates who were playing together, and began to arrange the offensive play...
Hearing Liu Mang's offensive arrangement, some people were terrified, and some felt that it was too unreliable!
……
The Eagles have deployed Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Korver, Raheem, and Ratliff with a lineup of one and four.
Kings side, Bibby, Christie, Peja, Webber, Brad - Miller's starting lineup continued to play.
The physical fitness of the Kings is almost reaching its limit. Adelman, who used the main force to death, continued to exert his attributes in this aspect today. Except for Brad Miller, who had Divac as a substitute, he only played for a little over 30 minutes. Bibby and Christie, who had Bobby Jackson as a substitute, only played 36 minutes and 38 minutes.
After the timeout ended, the Eagles had the ball. After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Jason Terry.
Jason Terry trusts Liu Mang, but he is not used to playing such a tactical role. He has not been a playmaker for a long time!But after using his brain a little, he understood that Liu Mang's idea was the best choice.
Jason Terry holds the ball in the top arc, making a posture to break the offense.
Jason Terry scored 29 points today, second only to Liu Mang and Peja. His pull-up jumper and pull-up three-pointer made the Kings frightened.
Originally, Christie wanted to defend against Liu Mang, but when he saw Liu Mang pass the ball to Jason Terry, he thought that Liu Mang, who had already thrown the ball 35 times, could not keep up, so he immediately switched to Jason Terry.
Liu Mang saw that Bibby switched to him, and immediately cut to the inside. Bibby, a short point guard, really works at critical moments!Sticking to Liu Mang was not thrown away by Liu Mang.
Rahim stood up to block Bibi, and Bibi also went around nimbly.
Liu Mang continued to run, entered the basket, and caught the pick-and-roll again. Ratliff's huge body finally blocked Bibby. Liu Mang went around the baseline and freed from the left side of the basket.
When Liu Mang made an empty cut and ran back, Jason Terry's breakthrough also started. He moved towards the line that Liu Mang just cut into, forced a breakthrough, and was firmly stuck by Christie. He couldn't get rid of the defense at all and was pushed off the line, but that was enough!
When it was a big step on the right side of the free throw line, Jason Terry saw Ratliff blocking Bibby, and immediately threw it to the left of the three-second zone, full of tacit understanding!Liu Mang just ran out to receive it!
However, the Kings obviously had targeted arrangements for Liu Mang. Peja and Webb attacked Liu Mang just as soon as he received the ball.
However, this is what Liu Mang wanted!Liu Mang immediately gave it to Korver who came to the left corner. Korver received the ball, his hands were trembling, he suppressed the mixed emotions of fear and excitement in his heart, and shot a three-pointer!
Liu Mang is full of expectations for Korver's three-pointer, but sometimes, some players have to be given time and opportunities to make mistakes. Korver's hand is still shaking when he makes a shot, and it is so crooked!
Fortunately, it was Rahim who held his breath. When Liu Mang pulled Webber out of the three-second zone, he grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked the ball into the basket!
Raheem made a second offensive dunk and scored two points, and let out a roar! 16 points and 23 rebounds!He has tried his best!
125 to 127, with two points left!
The Eagles retreated immediately. At this stage, the Eagles had the best physical strength on the court. Except for Liu Mang, it was Ratliff, so there was no problem in retreating.
After receiving the serve, Bibby advances to the frontcourt. The Eagles' side Raheem's physical fitness has reached its limit, and the Kings are not much better. Webber is in the low post, which attracts Ratliff. Brad Miller pulls up to the high post and brings Raheem out.
It is Bibby's current idea to use Webber's defensive restraint to make a fuss. He is not going to give the ball to Brad Miller, but he is going to do it himself!Bibby is hard at the critical moment!
But as soon as Bibby got beyond the three-point line, he saw two guys attacking him!
When Liu Mang and Jason Terry saw Bibby go beyond the three-point line, they immediately double-teamed him!
This is Liu Mang's strategy. Korver, who can run, runs after Peja. He and Jason Terry flank the key capable Bibby!
Force Bibby to pass!The biggest threat to the Kings at critical moments is Bibby with the ball.
Bibby was forced to pass the ball if he didn't want to pass. As soon as the two came up, Bibby realized that if he was surrounded by two double-teams, it would be difficult for him to pass the ball at only 1.8 meters [-], so he passed the ball to Christie immediately.
Liu Mang pounced on Christie immediately after Bibby passed the ball, Jason Terry started to circle forward immediately, and the rest of the Eagles also tried their best to cut off the connection between Christie and the rest of the Kings.
Christie didn't expect that he would be wide open, anyway, he is a three-point shooter with a 30.00% four-point shooting rate!
After hesitating for a while, Liu Mang had already rushed in front of him!
After Liu Mang threw himself in front of Christie, he immediately started to press the defense. At this critical moment, as long as there is no excessive foul action, the referee will not blow it. This is the peak year of the oppression defense in the NBA in the past 60 years.
It was difficult for Christie to dribble the ball, let alone grab the ball and pass it. He was terrified that Liu Mang still maintained this defensive oppression at this time!
Liu Mang ran with all his strength throughout the game, and now he still has such physical fitness!
Seeing that he was about to be intercepted and had no chance to pass the ball, Christie could only grab the ball and step back for a three-pointer to force a shot!
Under Liu Mang's interference, Christie almost missed the basket with a three-pointer this time!Ratliff's deployment at the critical moment was really useful and experienced. The main reason was that Webber, who was not too fat, stuck Webber aside and grabbed a defensive rebound!
Stop it!
31 seconds left!Two points behind!
After Ratliff grabbed the rebound, Weber hugged Ratliff directly. Weber, who is very sensitive to fouls, knew that the Kings only made two fouls in the fourth quarter, and it was not time for foul free throws, so he decisively chose a tactical foul to prevent the Eagles from fast break.
Since Ratliff had the ball in his hands, it was just an ordinary foul, which did not trigger O'Neal's law, and the Eagles had the ball in the backcourt.
Liu Mang received the referee's ball, sent it to Jason Terry, and then continued to play without the ball after reaching the frontcourt.
Liu Mang wanted to come to the ball by himself, but after continuously borrowing the pick and roll from Raheem and Ratliff, not only Webb and Peja came to flank him, Bibby also actively circled around, and the three of them flanked Liu Mang!
Liu Mang chose to trust Korver again in the pinch of the three.
Korver received a pass from Liu Mang, and this time it was a bit broken. After he hit the iron last time, he seemed to have seen his end on the bench. This time, he simply thought about it. He didn't even think about receiving the ball, and just threw it out just like training!
There was no adjustment, but Korver had the feeling of catching and throwing the ball in his usual training!
Finally, Liu Mang's trust in his teammates was rewarded, and Korver hit a three-pointer at a critical moment!
128 to 127, the Eagles overtook by one point!
17 seconds left!
This time it's the Kings' turn to call a timeout!
After Korver scored, he was stunned!He looked at his hands in disbelief, and then... was pressed to the ground by a group of teammates...
……
Finally overtook the score!
Coach Kruger got the pointer again, replaced both Korver and Raheem, and then defense!
The lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Kwame Brown and Ratliff played.
Chasing and defending Peja, double-teaming Bibby's expansion defense, basket protection, and Kwame Brown's super mobility and good rebound protection ability, the Eagles sent the best defensive lineup that can be formed among the existing players with decent physical fitness!
Back from the timeout, the Kings hit the last attack with 17 seconds left.
Bibby pressed the tempo and advanced to the frontcourt. In his opinion, he should play faster now, but the fact that his teammates can't play is a key point. Adelman wants to overwhelm the last moment before making a shot is an order that Bibby cannot defy.
Webber, Peja... Bibby found a trustworthy teammate at the critical moment, but he couldn't seem to find it!
The Kings team was indeed at the end of their battle. After Bibby pressed the tempo and advanced to the frontcourt, he was immediately double-teamed by Liu Mang and Jason Terry. Bibby had anticipated this situation a long time ago, so he suggested that Adelman should replace his teammates with physical strength and play fast. He was only one point behind, and there was a chance to play fast.
But Adelman trusted the main players more. After Bibby was flanked, he gave the ball to Christie. Christie had already reached the limit of his physical fitness in the struggle against Liu Mang and Jason Terry. The Kings had never encountered such an anxious game in the regular season.
Christie's open three-point shot was short!
Ratliff made an accurate judgment at the critical moment, and instead of grabbing the rebound, he shot the ball out of the three-point line. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and ran towards the frontcourt. Bibby wanted to catch up and fouled, but Liu Mang snaked his position, and when there were two seconds left, he threw the ball into the air!
Finally, after a whole game, when the players of both teams were exhausted, after the only guy who could still fly ran out of time, the game was finally over!
刘莽全场拿到41分6板8助攻,关键时刻信任队友,也得到了回报!主场128比127击败了国王队!三年来首次常规赛横扫国王!
The Mavericks and Spurs are left, and the Hawks have been the only two teams that have not swept the regular season in the past three years!
After defeating the Kings, the Eagles' record improved to 59 wins and 9 losses!It is only one game away from the fastest 60 wins since the new century!
