From today on is the king

Chapter 723 722. The strong prey on the weak (for subscription)

Liu Mang overlooked a problem. He defended against Anfernee Hardaway. Anfernee Hardaway was attacking with the ball, not because Anfernee Hardaway was better than Marbury in scoring. Anfernee Hardaway, who hit 50.00% more shots in his peak period, may have better scoring ability than Marbury, but now, there is no suspense that Marbury is better. The Knicks are just picking "soft persimmons".
Marbury played less in the playoffs, but that doesn't mean he performed poorly in the playoffs!
Except for the time when he faced Payton in the second grade, he was so defended that he didn't dare to shoot. In his rookie season and Garnett's playoff series, he faced the Rockets of the Big Three. He was the leader in scoring and assists in the series!
The 90-point evaluation given by the system to Marbury in the playoffs as a marginal top star is, after all, a marginal top star!

Marbury's iconic breakthrough!

Liu Mang often teased his opponents with the breakthroughs he got from Marbury, this time it was his turn to be teased!

Liu Mang confidently wanted to rely on his footsteps to predict and prevent Marbury, but found that it didn't work much!Marbury, who was at his peak at the age of 27, stepped forward to attract Liu Mang's defensive attention. After showing a flaw and allowing Liu Mang to defend, he made a large Iverson-style lateral move from Liu Mang's left side to the inside!
Was tricked by Marbury's change of direction!

However, Liu Mang did not stop defending, because there is someone behind the young master!
After Liu Mang was passed, he kicked his left foot because of the pressure, and rushed towards Marbury, just in time to catch Raheem who was in place and caught Marbury!
After passing Liu Mang, Marbury encountered Raheem's supplementary defense. He wanted to change direction again or jump directly to attack the basket for throwing shots, but Liu Mang returned to the defense immediately, and Marbury was blocked all of a sudden and was forced to stop the ball!

Raheem's ability to connect inside and outside defense is fully demonstrated!

Marbury felt Liu Mang's move to steal, and immediately passed the ball to Shandon Anderson who was free.

Shanton Anderson on the bottom line on the left side of the basket receives the ball, no one cares!Kurt Thomas wanted to go out to meet him, but he was pressed tightly by Rasheed Wallace. Kurt Thomas played fiercely against many inside players, with great moves and great confrontation.

Kurt Thomas was pressed on the right side of the basket by Rasheed Wallace and dared not struggle!
Anfernee Hardaway can't get rid of Prince's long-arm tentacle defense when he runs without the ball. Mutombo plays well with Ratliff at the basket.

Shandon Anderson saw that Raheem and Ratliff were in a high post and under the basket, so he didn't dare to rush in, so he could only throw two points...

Shandon Anderson, who has almost no mid-range and long-range shooting ability and only relies on counterattacks and air cuts in the regular season, only has a 40.00% shooting rate.

Liu Mang turned around and blocked Marbury, who wanted to hit the offensive rebound. The rock-solid level 1 trigger was not good for rebounding Liu Mang, but he was a good blocker, especially outside.

Fight back!

After Liu Mang blocked Marbury and blocked Marbury's move to attack the offensive rebound, he was about to get off immediately, trust in the rebounding king!

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, Raheem passed the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang counterattacked and scored two points with one-handed dunk!
Liu Mang ran back and high-fived Raheem. The two defended against each other. After the Knicks lost Alan Houston and Van Horn at the small forward position, they had already discussed how to deal with such an obvious loophole.

Marbury is indeed better than Anfernee Hardaway, and Marbury's passing ability is not comparable to that of Anfernee Hardaway. His career average assists per game are higher than Anfernee Hardaway's most assist season in his career.

But Anfernee Hardaway, his ability to connect teams is more powerful than Marbury, mainly because of his defensive judgment and avoidance of being flanked in bad positions. Anfernee Hardaway has done much better than Marbury.

Marbury is going straight, he is indeed more attractive to defense, but he can't choose which player of the opponent to attack and defend like Anfernee Hardaway.

Anfernee Hardaway can make good use of the rhythm of the breakthrough, taking advantage of the time difference between the opponent's defensive flanks, the rhythm changes extremely fast, and the position of the stop is good enough. When Raheem flanks Shandon-Anderson, he can completely start and cut in. Instead of requiring someone to pull away for him to break through like Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway creates opportunities for his teammates to cut. It is completely opposite to Marbury's style of play.His aura and ability to connect teams are not available in Marbury.

Marbury organizes the offense very simply. Break through first, wait for the opponent to attack, and pass to the one that is free. He is not alone in playing. Since his rookie year, the number of times he has broken through and passed to his teammates has always been ranked in the top five in the league.

The Sonics really want to introduce Marbury because he is really good at breaking through and scoring the ball, but he is more expensive than Kidd... If Marbury is playing for the Sonics, if he does not have conflicts with his teammates, given his state during this season in the Knicks, the Sonics may take off.

However, he does not have such teammates. His career history is too bad, and his reputation is too bad. In the Knicks, how many assists he has depends on the sky. The time when he played the best happened to be the last more than a month before Alan Houston was reimbursed.

Marbury's assists per game was not overtaken by Kidd, but after Alan Houston was reimbursed and there were fewer outside shooters, he slipped down.

The Eagles have already had enough experience in defending Marbury. After Marbury started to attack with the ball, he locked Marbury!

Marbury tried his best today to counterattack and kill the Eagles, but Liu Mang and Raheem let him understand that the gap in strength is not a gap that he can bridge with his life!

On Anfernee Hardaway’s side, there was nothing he could do about meeting Prince, who was as calm as Duncan. Prince was different from Liu Mangyi’s impulsiveness. He seemed to be an emotionless defensive machine. In the time and space, when he was fighting in the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, all the Pistons' benches rushed up, and he was the only one, sitting quietly on the technical table, watching his teammates and opponents play.

Prince, originally just his name, became a nickname because he sat on the technical stage during the Battle of Auburn Hills, like a quiet and ugly prince...

Marbury attracted the double-team pass, but he could only pass it to Shandon Anderson. The conversion rate of assists was extremely low, so he had to start shooting by himself.

If it was Anfernee Hardaway seven or eight years ago, neither Jordan nor Pippen at the peak would be able to guard against it, and the two of them could only restrict it, and it was only restricted, and they were still defeated by him and O'Neal.

The current Anfernee Hardaway can fight Liu Mang desperately, but he can only smile helplessly when facing Prince.

The Eagles locked the Knicks outside duo!

Marbury played very hard today, but the harder he worked, the more bitter he was. He also worked very hard when he was in the Nets and the Suns, but when he was in the Nets, the Nets didn’t have Kenyon Martin.

Marbury and Anfernee-Hardaway started a gorgeous symphonic strike. The Knicks faced the blue-collar insiders that many teams are proud of. In this game, they encountered the Eagles' frontcourt trio.
The opponent hits the iron, and it is an outside shot that hits the iron, the Eagles have a chance to counterattack!

Raheem grabbed rebounds, Liu Mang counterattacked, and Raheem followed up to grab offensive rebounds. The two did not cooperate much in other tactics. Raheem chose to weaken his offensive role and was mainly responsible for defense and rebounds. It was because the chemical reaction between the two on the offensive end was really poor, and the tacit understanding between the two on the defensive end was too different.

But the two have an offensive tactic that Liu Mang agrees with very well, that is, the cavalry tactic!
Liu Mang and Raheem started a two-person fast break cooperation. When Raheem was running fast, Liu Mang threw a three-pointer. After Raheem passed the ball and was restrained, Liu Mang counterattacked and attacked the basket. The two cooperated perfectly in this tactic!

After the official timeout of the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 11 points and 2 assists in more than half a quarter, and Raheem scored 4 points and 6 rebounds. The two led the Eagles' starting lineup to 7 to 19 in the first 8 minutes, leading the Knicks by 11 points!

The gap in strength is quite obvious!

The gap between 70 wins and 36 wins cannot be made up by Marbury's efforts!

After the official timeout came back, the Eagles entered the regular rotation time. In order to take advantage of the victory, Stockton joined the lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown.

At the beginning, the Eagles used defense to deal with the Knicks. When it came time to rotate the lineup, the Eagles directly chose to use positional offense to deal with the Knicks!
The Knicks just replaced the lineup of Howard Eisley, Marbury, Anfernee Hardaway, Tim Thomas, and Kurt Thomas. Coach Wilkens wanted to keep up with the rhythm of the Hawks' counterattack, so he replaced them with a brisk team, but he didn't expect the Hawks to start playing positional warfare!

Although the defense of the Hawks lineup has deteriorated a lot, the Knicks scored 5 points in 12 minutes in the second half of the first quarter, and narrowly scored 20 points in a single quarter at the end of the first quarter.

But the Eagles scored 5 points in 17 minutes!
At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles had a 36-20 lead by 16 points!

Liu Mang scored 21 points in the first quarter, one more than the Knicks!
Before the start of the Knicks game, they managed to find a little morale under the encouragement of Marbury. The boss and coaching staff used the 1999 playoffs to boost their motivation, and the spirit of resisting the pressure of the Eagles at home and wanting to fight with the Eagles. After the first quarter, they just broke up!

Liu Mang, who was a little puzzled when he didn't hear the system prompt that the Knicks' morale was suppressed at the beginning, finally came after the first quarter. The Knicks' morale collapse may be late, but they are not absent!
"Ding... The host scored 21 points in a single quarter, which was higher than the New York Knicks team. The morale of the New York Knicks collapsed due to the dream of Black Eight, and the devil's home effect was fully triggered. From Phillips Arena fans and Rasheed Wallace."

A very small number of New York fans who came from afar left after watching the first quarter of the game!
For the opening game of the Eagles home playoffs this time, because of the division championship flag-raising ceremony, the lowest ticket price was $95. Those local fans from New York bought front-row tickets, and left after the first quarter!

Not only the New York fans, even the Knicks players have completely lost confidence!
They tried their best to raise their fighting spirit to the highest level before the game, facing this game with an almost dream-like mentality, but the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment!

In the second quarter, the Knicks had a fairly good offense in the second half of the first quarter. After the start of the second quarter, facing the Hawks who were obviously weaker, Jason Terry and Korver replaced both Liu Mang and Prince. The Knicks' offense was even worse!

The second quarter started to play for a full 3 minutes, the Knicks didn't score a point, it was all iron!

The Eagles played an 8-0 scoring climax, and they opened the point difference to 24 points!
Later, relying on Marbury and Anfernee-Hardaway's strong sudden play, the momentum of the Hawks also slowly declined, and the scoring of the two teams began to enter a very balanced state.

However, this makes the Knicks players feel even more bleak.

Even Marbury began to doubt life, and the Eagles were completely playing for fun, and they didn't stop scoring!
Mainly, Kurt Thomas, the strongest insider of the Knicks, was completely locked up by Rasheed Wallace's more ferocious style of play and more terrifying face!
At the end of the three quarters, the point difference was still more than 20 points. The Hawks were 81 to 56, leading the Knicks by 25 points!
Liu Mang played three quarters, played 29 minutes, 17 of 11, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 6 counterattacks, 11 of 9 free throws, 33 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists in three quarters!

In the last quarter, the Eagles replaced Jason Terry and took the lineup of Korver, Barnes, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown to waste time.

The Knicks didn't have the kind of motivation to slap the Eagles on the main force, and they were completely beaten to the ground!
Marbury, who played the first three quarters, had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. Anfernee Hardaway had 18 points and 4 assists. It seems that the two outside lines are okay, but Marbury made 17 of 6 shots!Anfernee Hardaway made 20 of 7 shots, and both of them made less than [-]% of their shots!
Marbury was originally the one with the most fighting spirit, but after the game, the one who felt the most miserable was also Marbury!
In the end, relying on Liu Mang's performance of 33 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in three quarters, the Eagles easily defeated the Knicks by 107 to 83, 24 points in the opening game of the playoffs and won their first playoff victory!

There is almost no suspense. Except that the Eagles were caught off guard by Anfernee Hardaway at the beginning, and Liu Mang is estimated to be the background of two top five goals, and one is the opponent's background and the other is the teammate's background. The Knicks can bring little pressure to Liu Mang.

The strength gap between the two teams is too great!

After the game, the Eagles players happily returned to the locker room. It’s almost 12 o’clock. They should apply ice packs and take a shower and go back early. The first game is the last opener for the Eagles. Like the Lakers, the first game is actually the most exhausting in the eight-round series. Based on the experience of last season, in the first four games of the first round of the league, there are four games every day.

After playing the Knicks today, the Eagles have a day off, and they will play the Knicks again on the 20th. Although this win is easy, the Eagles' purpose is: try to go all out in a game that can abuse the food, and directly abuse the opponent so that they have no desire to fight back.

I will go to the Knicks away to play in the future, so in the first two games, not only must I win, but I must win beautifully!Beat the opponent to doubt life!
After playing the first game with the Knicks, Liu Mang finally understood why the Knicks' Avengers series of missions rewarded them so "excitingly".

People say that Garnett has never broken through the first round. In fact, Marbury is the same. Even in the original time and space, he has played in the second round with the Celtics in the 08-09 season. He has never made it to the second round in his career in the past ten years. Chances of playing in the playoffs.

This time Marbury came with ambition, but after the game, he felt that his ambition had been trampled!
What Liu Mang wants is to crush Marbury's fighting spirit!
The NBA is a cruel place. Compared with the 80s and 90s at the beginning of the century, the average career length in the NBA has doubled, but it is only 4.1 years on average.

This is an alliance where the weak prey on the strong. For opponents, especially in the playoffs, Liu Mang will never sympathize with them!
Sympathy for the opponent is cruelty to oneself. Liu Mangdong has been killed for two consecutive years. Has the opponent ever felt sympathy?On the field, especially in the playoffs, Liu Mang never thought of sympathizing with the opponent, just like he wanted to sweep the Pistons every time. Facing this team that had reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the Eastern Conference for six consecutive years, Liu Mang wanted to beat them to the point where he would be afraid to see them in order to prevent them from becoming stronger and difficult to deal with in the future!
