From today on is the king

Chapter 708 707. Popovich's wonder
The Spurs attack.

Liu Mang was a little excited when he saw Duncan's Natural King trigger, so fuck him!

After Parker advanced to the frontcourt, he immediately handed it to Ginobili, and then tried to run to run with Liu Mang, but to Parker's despair, Liu Mang immediately went up to double-team after Duncan stuck Rasheed Wallace to get the ball!
Duncan had already prepared and yelled at his teammates: "Empty cut!"

Parker and Malik Rose reacted and cut towards the basket.

Nesterovic had already entered the three-second zone. Ostertag was already worried about Nesterovic, but Parker cut in, so he was even more distracted. Liu Mang also blocked Parker because of Parker's cut. Duncan seized this opportunity and slammed into the basket.

The Wake Forest Flying Devil is worthy of being the Wake Forest Flying Devil. It exploded suddenly. Ostertag couldn't stand still and was squeezed away by Duncan. Duncan smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
"Your sister!" Is this still the guy with the big windmill on the spot!Do you want to be so violent!
After scoring the goal, Duncan didn't feel complacent at all. He clenched his fist and immediately turned back to defend.

too strong!
He even talked about fucking Duncan, but he didn't expect Qiang Na to get fucked instead.

The defensive end didn't stop!Then do it on the offensive end!Of course, you can't do it hard.

The Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang advanced beyond the three-point line and made two gestures. Rasheed Wallace immediately pulled out, ready to pick and roll at any time. Before Duncan was about to come out to defend this time, Ostertag's huge body pushed Nesterovic to squeeze into the basket.

As Liu Mang expected, Duncan could only retract and cover the basket.

Seeing Duncan's return to the basket, Rasheed Wallace immediately came to the top arc and blocked Ginobili. Liu Mang followed suit, slowed down and broke through, and hit a jumper with an emergency stop!

6 to 2, the Eagles' offense has not stopped!

With an offense of 97 and a defense of 100, Duncan's offensive level has caught up with Nowitzki!The defense is also at the first level of Ben Wallace and Garnett, and the Lianzhuang MVP is really not covered.

However, every player has weaknesses!
Duncan is good at pick-and-roll defense, good defense at the basket, and good single defense.

However, his weakness is that he can't guard against CIC!
This is not just his weakness, but the weakness of the entire Spurs!Especially in the case of having the highest height inside, it is too difficult for the Spurs to take care of both inside and outside!
Ostertag is not the kind of big Z who floats and shoots. He is a stand-up insider, and he is much taller when he floats. But Ostertag is so tall and heavy and can play more than 20 minutes per game. It is very rare. In the NBA, there are only O’Neal and Yao Ming, and other Manute Balls.

Ma Long made so many mid-range shots and was so accurate, but the opponent rarely double-teamed. It was because there was such a big pillar under the basket. It was impossible for Ostertag to play singles, but standing there, the opponent had to defend!
This is why Popovich was furious when he saw the Jazz send Ostertag to the Eagles. If he got Ostertag, with Duncan as a defense master, he would be invincible inside.

But unfortunately, it is the Eagles who have this commanding height threat!
It is probably the first time that singles mid-range jumpers are used as the main offensive method, but Liu Mang has no fear at all.

The Spurs' outside three-point defense is too strong, and there are Duncan and Nesterovic at the basket. Liu Mang played the Spurs twin towers for the first time, and it was enough to scare them. Seeing that Duncan has gone crazy, he has entered an absolute calm state. The natural king still explodes.Might as well let Duncan worry about the threat of Ostertag at the basket, and then shoot in the middle distance!
As the saying goes, as long as the heart is strong enough!
Liu Mang didn't have any fear, and continued to shoot mid-range shots. After three years of hard training, it finally paid off! The mid-range shooting ability evaluation of 85 has just broken through to the first-class mid-range shooting ability. With Liu Mang's firm shot, the Spurs' mid-range shooting defense is poor. The defensive connection in this position is very poor.
But on the defensive end, even with Liu Mang, Stockton, and Mike Woodson's defensive strategy of releasing Parker and Malik Rose and flanking defenses, Duncan suffered a loss and was completely focused. The defensive effect of the Eagles is not so good. The Spurs' offense is poor, mainly because when Duncan is not the main offensive point.Duncan's offense is top-notch and his organization is adequate.

Duncan made excellent use of his offensive threat, and the ball actually started talking!Commanding Parker and Malik Rose to make an air cut, he first hit a 1-for-N dunk, and then used his attractiveness to create opportunities for his teammates.

Duncan can always find a way to play easily. With such a brutal defense, he plays, organizes offenses and scores, and slowly becomes more comfortable.

However, Liu Mang's CIC feels good today, and he has begun to attract flanking attacks. Even Duncan sometimes has to let go of Ostertag and come out to flank.

On the offensive end, the Eagles' style of play combined the pick-and-roll with the Lakers' triangle offense. After Ostertag was not blocked, Liu Mang passed the ball to Ostertag in a row, and Ostertag also made 3 of 2 shots and scored 4 points!
After the official timeout of the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 8 points and 3 assists. Facing the Spurs, Liu Mang broke out again!

The Eagles played 7 minutes, 14 to 10, leading the Spurs by 4 points!
Both teams have big and tall lineups, and the pace is slow enough, but the offensive efficiency of both teams is very high!
The official timeout, the Eagles players returned to the sidelines, Ostertag defended for a long time, but also to attack, really tired!
The key is to meet Duncan, who has good skills and good passing skills. The defensive strategies of Liu Mang and Stockton did not have a particularly great effect.

However, defending against superstars can be a little bit effective. If the defense that didn't start off is successful, it's not certain which side is leading now.

Moreover, Liu Mang's offensive and defensive strategies are not limited to this one!
To deal with the Spurs, of course we have to go all out!

Coach Kruger, who already knew the tactics discussed this time, got the tactical board before Liu Mang returned to the bench, called the names of a few players, and then began to draw...

……

The official timeout came back, and the Eagles' lineup of Stockton, Liu Mang, Korver, Boozer, and Rasheed Wallace played.

This lineup made Popovich on the other side full of question marks.

Do you want to defend yourself?
What does the head coach on the opposite side want to do!
Popovich looked at coach Kruger who was sitting on the bench with a serious face, and always felt that there was a conspiracy!

The Spurs got a lineup of Charlie Ward, Ginobili, Turkoglu, Robert Horry and Duncan with good three-point ability from the Knicks before the trade deadline.

The Spurs' lineup is very regular. During Duncan's peak period, the Spurs only needed to be regular.

Popovich wondered how the Eagles' defense should defend. He couldn't help but help the Eagles design their defense, but he couldn't figure out how to defend this broken lineup.

The game continued, and the Spurs had the ball. Ginobili directly held the ball and pushed forward this time. After reaching the frontcourt, he didn't defend Liu Mang like Parker. He was confident that his strength was no worse than Liu Mang's!
"Ding... Features: Triggered by the demon knife, the effect of unpredictable technical actions interfering with the opponent's defense is enhanced, and it comes from Manu Ginobili."

Liu Mang stayed three points away, and when he heard the system's prompt, he knew that the pain was coming!
Ginobili scored 7 points and 0 assists in the first 0 minutes, because it is not yet time for him to play. He still has an important role in the Spurs to use his three-pointers to open up space, especially after Bowen was abolished, his three-pointer role is particularly critical.

But when Ginobili is attacking with the ball, he is even more threatening!This is a near-top star with an ability rating of 89!

Liu Mang was very focused on defending Ginobili, but Ginobili's footsteps were too weird, Liu Mang couldn't defend against it, and was swayed away by Ginobili!Ginobili's weird European step is similar to Liu Mang's crawling essence footsteps, but it is faster and more explosive. He rushed to the basket and made a dunk.

It's terrible!He is worthy of being the guy who faced the top five Pistons, and even when Duncan was defended to only 40.00% of his field goals, he was able to hit [-]% of his [-]-pointers and almost snatched the FMVP from Duncan!
Manu Ginobili, who is only a little short of his personal peak, is even more difficult to guard than Liu Wei encountered half a season ago!
Popovich on the sidelines was puzzled. The Hawks lineup is completely impossible to defend against them. Ginobili can beat them all by himself, not to mention Duncan as a mid-range threat.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Eagles attack.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Stockton, and the double-brake mode started!
Liu Mang took Ginobili to run and run, Ginobili followed Liu Mang hard to chase, Charlie Ward's old arms and old legs, Stockton with the same old arms and old legs can still see past, it's hard enough for Liu Mang.

Ginobili was ready to chase Liu Mang desperately, and he was ready to feel that he would not be able to catch up, but to Ginobili's surprise, as long as he tried his best to chase Liu Mang, he really caught up!

This surprised Ginobili, but he was also very pleasantly surprised, and followed Liu Mang in pursuit.

On the other side, Stockton and Boozer started to pick and roll, seeming to ignore Liu Mang. The point of response was not Liu Mang, but Korver!
Liu Mang's running position not only attracted Ginobili, Turkoglu was also ready to switch to defend Liu Mang at any time. Although Ginobili caught up with Liu Mang to the surprise of the Spurs, Turkoglu did not dare to be careless at all.

Boozer helped Stockton block Charlie Ward, and then Boozer cut inside. Horry and Charlie Ward both blocked Boozer. At this time, Korver took the opportunity to pull out, and Rasheed Wallace pulled out. Duncan, who was originally chasing Rasheed Wallace, had to start a large-scale run to defend Stockton.

But Duncan was really good. He first came to block Stockton, and then after Turkoglu gave up his attention to Liu Mang and came to chase Korver, Duncan saw Rasheed Wallace go to block Turkoglu for Korver, Stockton passed the ball, and Duncan immediately went to block Korver.

Duncan moves so fast!He blocked Korver with Turkoglu who bypassed Rasheed Wallace, but, to the Spurs' surprise, the ball passed by Stockton did not reach Korver's hands. Rasheed Wallace pretended to help Korver block Turkoglu. Sid Wallace catches the ball outside the three-point line and makes a shot!

After running this pass, the players of both teams were exhausted!
It was the Spurs' offense again, and Rasheed Wallace continued to fight with Duncan. Duncan looked at Rasheed Wallace who was devoting himself to defense and three-pointers, but he was also helpless. He couldn't fight like Rasheed Wallace. His task was much more arduous than Rasheed Wallace.

Ginobili faced Liu Mang once again. Unfortunately, Liu Mang's defense was tighter this time, and he was blocked after being shaken. Ginobili changed and missed a layup. Liu Mang's rock-solid level 3 firmly blocked Ginobili and received a defensive rebound.

The Spurs pushed a fast retreat to prevent Liu Mang from fast attacking. The Spurs' current lineup of one team and four teams was designed to defend against the Eagles' cavalry tactics. Another surprise was that Liu Mang did not rush forward at all, and the Spurs' rapid defense was in vain.

After Liu Mang advanced to the front court, he continued to hand it over to Stockton, and then continued to run with Ginobili.

Ginobili sensed something was wrong, but he had no choice but to run with Liu Mang. If Liu Mang, who in his opinion had no dead ends in attacking with left and right hands, was left empty, it would be over.

Liu Mang continued to run and run with Ginobili, Ginobili chased and chased, and the Spurs' defense was messed up. Thanks to Duncan's defensive coverage, which may be second only to Garnett in the league, he tried his best to supplement the defense and finally interfered with the Eagles' offense.

Looking back, the Spurs attacked, and Ginobili broke through again with difficulty to a position close to the basket. The demon knife came out of its sheath, and the demon knife pace resumed. This time it attracted Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace.

After the Spurs scored, Rasheed Wallace quickly picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Mang.

The last time the Spurs retreated quickly, the Eagles didn't have a fast break, which wasted energy, but this time they still dare not retreat quickly. They have strict defensive discipline, and they will not ignore that the opponent may play that way just because the opponent did not play that way.

But this time, after the Spurs retreated quickly, Liu Mang still advanced slowly. The fast serve was purely to scare the Spurs. After the Spurs were scared to retreat quickly, Liu Mang slowly advanced again. Stockton and Boozer, two slow guys, need to be taken care of!

So, Liu Mang started to run with Ginobili again, not participating in the offense at all, but it is the most important part of the offense!
After playing several rounds, Popovich finally understood that the young coach on the opposite side was using attrition tactics!
