From today on is the king

Chapter 926 925. Low Behemoth, Revenge the Sun! (seeking a monthly ticket)

Whenever D'Antoni wants to regain control of the rhythm through tactical adjustments, the corresponding offensive and defensive tactics of Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson will come immediately.

All the tactics of the Eagles are for those two goals. Quentin Richardson, who can shoot three-pointers, or Barbosa, who comes off the bench, has the wrong rhythm, blocks Stoudemire's air cuts, and allows Nash or Stoudemire to play singles with the ball.

But compared to the Hawks in singles... After Liu Mang and Jason Terry's back line partner came on the field, the Suns made a lot of shots.

Playing and playing, D'Antoni became ruthless. No matter whether there is a chance or not, outside players will throw three-pointers when they get the ball!

Don't know why D'Antoni is so superstitious about 14s, but he did that, the Suns took [-] [-]s in the second quarter and only made [-]!

As for the Hawks, in the second quarter, they scored three three-pointers by themselves, with 11 points and 2 assists in a single quarter. Jason Terry scored 9 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, mainly passing to Josh Smith in the air cut and Kwame Brown in the basket. The Hawks scored 31 points in the second quarter, while the Suns only scored 27 points. The Eagles scored 25 points!
刘莽半场13投7中，拿到20分5助攻3篮板，贾森-特里单节9分4助攻，帮助老鹰队把分差扩大到11分！
By halftime, coach Kruger, Mike Woodson and Stockton were still discussing how D'Antoni would change in the second half as they walked down the tunnel and back to the locker room.

Liu Mang went to the side of the three and saw that the three had considered almost all of D'Antoni's tactical responses, and were well prepared to deal with D'Antoni's tactical changes. He felt that these three were so stingy!
Liu Mang glanced back at D'Antoni, who was on the other side of the bench and hadn't returned to the player's tunnel. His face was flushed, and he looked like an overripe bitter melon.

Liu Mang thought of D'Antoni's expression when he was dominated by Popovich.

The on-the-spot command is too bad!
D'Antoni's strength lies in the construction of the system. When he has a suitable core, excellent pitchers, and powerful pie-eating players, he can formulate a very powerful tactical system, whether it is the Nash era or the Harden Paul era.

In the Nash era, there were Stoudemire, Marion and a group of pitchers. In the Harden-Paul era, there were Capela and more pitchers. But when he encountered problems that could not be solved, he had only one solution-increasing three-pointers!
D'Antoni is similar to coach Kruger. He is a tactical construction head coach, and his on-the-spot command is relatively weak.

But the difference is that Coach Kruger focuses on defense, and Mike Woodson, an excellent defensive assistant, takes defense as a foothold. Even if he is not good at commanding the offense on the spot, he is willing to delegate power to Liu Mang to ensure that defense is the most basic tactical guarantee.

And D'Antoni is also willing to give the command to Nash, but he has no defense. Once D'Antoni can't do anything and Nash can't organize the offense, the Suns don't even have the most basic guarantee.

……

Back from the intermission, the Eagles, which had an 11-point lead, sent out five small lineups of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Iguodala, and Josh Smith.

Coach Kruger took the lead in responding to the Suns' tough play.

Sure enough, D'Antoni was worried for half the game. In the second half, he put Stoudemire, who only played face-up singles and had not developed a mid-range shot, off the field, and replaced him with Nash, Barbosa, Quentin Richardson, Joe Johnson, and Marion.

"Crazy! They are all crazy! Is this the NBA?" This was the exclamation of the commentary on the live TV station in the United States. The commentators of Time Warner and ESPN both called the head coaches of the two teams crazy.

"This lineup is unreasonable, but it's worth trying. Kruger is very good at it. I can see that the Suns will play unreasonable basketball. This season, the Suns have been playing very unreasonably. Therefore, Kruger used an unreasonable lineup to deal with unreasonable opponents..." This is the view of a guest commentator on the court TV about the lineups of the two teams.

When Liu Mang saw the opponent's height after playing, he suddenly had the feeling of the small ball era, but he knew that their Eagles and the opposing Suns were "dinosaurs" in the current league.

The Suns took the lead in the third quarter.

As soon as the big Q sent the ball to Nash, the two quickly advanced immediately. Liu Mang handed over the task of defending Nash to Jason Terry, and followed the fast-running Barbosa by himself.

After Nash quickly advanced to the frontcourt, he saw that Jason Terry was defending him, and he knew that the opponent wanted him to play singles again.

Nash is very confident in his scoring ability. When the Mavericks were implementing singles tactics, he scored 16 points with a super high efficiency of 12 of 16 shots and 13 of 39 free throws.

Nash chose to rush forward. Jason Terry's defense was as active as Nash's, but the effect was also particularly poor. Nash was left behind by a change of direction.

At this time, Barbosa consciously made an air cut to the inside. Liu Mang was the closest to Nash, and immediately blocked Nash's breakthrough route. Jason Terry actively switched to Barbosa.

Both Liu Mang and Jason Terry were fast, but Nash failed to send the ball to Barbosa immediately, and he found himself in the mid-range singles position again!
Quickly looking around at the positions of his teammates, Nash found himself at the free throw line and was "imprisoned" to this position again!
Without choosing a mid-range shot, Nash exited the three-point line, took off, and made a three-point shot!

Liu Mang rushed forward the moment Nash grabbed the ball with both hands, and stretched out his arms to block Nash's shot route.

Nash's jumping was too bad, and the shot space was covered by Liu Mang. He forcibly leaned back in the air, and his head was almost parallel to the floor!

Nash's lay-back jumper shot...

The ball flew less than ten centimeters above Liu Mang's fingertips and plunged into the basket!
Seeing Nash sitting on the ground with his buttocks after landing, Liu Mang didn't have time to marvel at the magical touch, and immediately sprinted towards the frontcourt after the defense fell to the ground.

Nash got up and hurried to catch up with Liu Mang. The Suns retreated quickly. D'Antoni thought about a strategy for a long time, but he had no choice but to use a small lineup to strengthen the retreat and fast attack rhythm, trying to kill two birds with one stone.

I have to say that the Suns retreated really quickly. When McGrady received the serve and was about to make a long pass, Liu Mang was already caught up by Barbosa and Nash.

McGrady really didn't expect that the small lineup fell into a positional battle, but that's it, McGrady advanced to the frontcourt.

Liu Mang ran into the three-second zone and was flanked. He just wanted to run outside, but he saw Josh Smith use his body's impact to force Marion out of the three-second zone.

Liu Mang exited the three-second zone, came to the right side of the three-second zone, pressed Nash behind him, and asked McGrady for the ball.

McGrady saw that Liu Mang was down!

Very rare this season!Liu Mang's low-post skills are just two moves, which are definitely not suitable for tactics, so post-ups are all high-position post-ups, but McGrady saw that Nash was defending Liu Reck, and immediately passed it to Liu Reck.

Liu Mang yelled in his heart when he was with Nashka: "Boss of the system, use the Wen-Baker star card!"

"Ding...Wen Baker 1996-1997 version, ability rating 87 (peak), offense 90, defense 82, three-pointer 59, mid-range shooting 84, layup 96, speed 82, strength 94...Time-limited half-time game, matching degree 40.00%, matching bonus..."

"Ding... The host gets a matching bonus attribute of strength and layup, which is temporarily increased from 81 to 89, and layup is increased from 92 to 94..."

When Liu Mang received the ball, Wen Baker's star card had already taken effect.

After receiving the ball, Liu Mang adjusted his posture, tilted his head towards Nash and said, "Steve, are you ready?"

Just as Nash was about to speak, he was suddenly hit by a huge force!
It's so despicable, Liu Mang not only used the star card to strengthen his strength, but also used words to distract Nash to maximize his advantage!

Liu Mang slammed back, and Nash felt himself flying. With this feeling, Nash had a magical idea: Is this the feeling of an opponent who was hit by O'Neal?
Liu Mang slammed Nash into the basket in two steps, turned right and took a step outside the reasonable collision zone.

"Ding... Low post-up skill level 5 is triggered: After successfully turning around and passing the opponent in this low post-up singles, speed +5, bounce +5, and the chance of shooting under the basket to affect the referee's call is increased by 20.00% five..."

"Ding... the strongest first step is triggered..."

Liu Mang exploded on the spot, and when Marion, who was chasing and defending, came to defend him, he exploded with super fast bounce speed and smashed the ball into the basket!

When playing the Heat, Heat fans will think of their "favorite" Dwyane Wade when they see this scene, while playing the Suns, their fans and players will naturally think of Amare Stoudemire!
In this game, Stoudemire hadn't dunked yet, but Liu Mang dunked first!
After Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket, he whistled at Nash and immediately retreated.

The Eagles lineup is no longer worried about the opponent’s fast break. When Liu Mang turned around and took off, the Suns’ Joe Johnson, Big Q, and Barbosa had already started to rush, but they were followed by Jason Terry, Iguodala, and Josh Smith.What a world!
Nash has not been in the background once or twice. A player with poor defensive ability but active defense is the most likely to be in the background...

Nash received the serve and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Joe Johnson, and opened up space by himself. Compared with falling into the position and attracting flanking teammates in singles after the battle, Nash's own fixed-point catch and shoot is a little stronger.

After Joe Johnson received the ball, he singled McGrady in the top arc.

McGrady defended well, but the reason why Jordan is Jordan, and the contemporary Jordan with an extremely enhanced three-point ability, is not for nothing. Joe Johnson used excellent fake moves to fly McGrady and pull a jumping three-point shot...

hit!

57 to 64, seven points difference!
When the Eagles were attacking, Liu Mang ran to the low post on the right side of the basket after reaching the frontcourt.

The opponent played a small lineup, the tallest was only [-] meters, Liu Mang had a low position advantage, decisively used Wen Baker's star card, and sat in the low position to eat raw!

To deal with a small lineup, there is a very simple and rough style of play. It is enough to have a huge inside advantage. The opponent does run fast for three-pointers, but the three-point shooting rate is not as high as a direct layup!

Players like Shaquille O'Neal and Yao Ming often have physical problems in the current NBA because every team has big men, but when they play a "center" with a three-point shooting type of about two meters, they can kill the opponent like a child.

Liu Mang fell to the low post and found that the opponent had changed the defense. It was replaced by Joe Johnson, a traditional scoring forward and guard swingman with a height and tonnage.

Nash couldn't help it, he worked very hard, but he just couldn't prevent it!
Liu Mang didn't hesitate, and leaned on Joe Johnson to continue asking for the ball. Seeing Liu Mang's confidence, McGrady lobbed the ball to Liu Mang again.

Liu Mang received the ball and continued to slam into the back, but he didn't completely knock Joe Johnson back!

Although Joe Johnson is slow, he weighs close to 110 kilograms. He is a heavy guard and is too strong. Although Liu Mang knocked Joe Johnson back and slid a little, he didn't get the space to cut inside!

Therefore, Liu Mang chose to continue hitting!

Joe Johnson saw Liu Mang hitting him again, lowered his center of gravity again and waited for the impact...

but!

In the middle of the movement, Liu Mang suddenly grabbed the ball, turned around 180 degrees with his left foot as the axis, kicked his right foot on the ground, and bounced back!

Joe Johnson had just lowered his center of gravity, and it was impossible to use his height to interfere with Liu Mang's shooting. He could only wait for Liu Mang's jump shot to hit the iron due to this rapid rhythm change.

"Ding...Low-post skill level 5 trigger: When low-post singles take a step back to get rid of the opponent's defense, mid-range shooting ability +5, jumping +5."

Liu Mang used the flip-back jumper he learned from Jordan!Sliding far back in the air!Not only the small bounce bonus after Wen-Baker's strength bonus, but also the bounce bonus of level 5 low post back technique. Liu Mang's bounce height at this time is the same as when he triggered the pick-and-roll master!
Liu Mang focused on throwing the ball with the best feeling in the air...

hit!

Liu Mang's accuracy is very poor in long-range shots, such as flip-back jumpers, but he is very sure of flip-back jumpers on the edge of the three-second zone!

4 points in a row!
66 to 57, 9 points difference!
The Suns are not lethal in mid-range singles and can score, but they can't chase points with two points. They can't prevent the Eagles from attacking, so they can only use the three-point attack as the end point. Otherwise, they will score one after another.

But when the three-pointer is always inaccurate, Joe Johnson's next three-pointer against McGrady was interfered by McGrady, and the three-pointer hit the iron.

The Eagles attacked, and the Suns switched defenses again. Liu Mang singled Marion in a low post, and Marion pressed up to Liu Mang to try to force the steal. Liu Mang held Marion with his right arm, dribbling with his left hand was as stable as his right hand, took a step forward to the right, and entered the three-second zone.

The point difference returned to 11 points!
After Liu Mang came up in the third quarter, he stayed low. Marion and Joe Johnson defended and turned over for a jumper. If the two pressed up to defend against the jumper, they would not be able to lower their center of gravity.
If the Suns used big Q, Barbosa, and Nash to defend, it would be even easier, just crash in and use the strongest first step to directly block the dunk.

And the Suns didn't dare to double-team!
Josh Smith and Iguodala's air cuts; Tracy McGrady and Jason Terry's three-pointers did not dare to let go. Liu Mang turned into a low-post monster in the third quarter. It was such a simple and direct two-stroke.

The main reason is that the Eagles have an advantage here and can slowly grind out two points and two points, while the Suns are behind and want to chase points. Their only solution is to throw a three-pointer.

Halfway through the third quarter, D'Antoni had no choice but to switch back to the inside combination of Stoudemire and Marion to deal with the Hawks' low post play.

Liu Mang fell to the low position, which made D'Antoni feel as if he met the Rockets. The rhythm naturally slowed down, and the inside line was completely unstoppable!

Halfway through the third quarter, the Eagles had a 79-64 lead by 15 points!

……

When the Suns switched back to the regular lineup, the Hawks also replaced Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown. Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Prince's perimeter combination also switched back, just like the first half.

The point difference hovered around 15 points. Although the Suns had fierce firepower, Liu Mang's steady low post, Tracy McGrady and Jason Terry's accurate outside singles shooting, just held the Suns' offensive firepower!
Nash missed a three-point shot, Stoudemire scored two points with a dunk, McGrady immediately broke through to the inside, used Liu Mang to make an air cut from the other side, and passed the ball to Kwame Brown. Stoudemire was attracted by Liu Mang, and Kwame Brown scored two points with an easy dunk.

Joe Johnson made a mid-range singles hit, and Liu Mang immediately fell to the low post to attract the shrinking pinch from the outside line, then double-teamed and distributed it to the outside line to throw a mid-range shot...

The game was entangled in this way until the end. The Suns had a scoring climax at the last moment and scored a wave of 12 to 4, but in the end they still failed to bring the score back.

Relying on Liu Mang's sudden explosion in the low post in the third quarter, scoring 13 points in the half quarter, and 21 points in the third quarter, the Eagles led 94 to 77 by 17 points at the end of the three quarters, solidifying their advantage. In the end, relying on Liu Mang's performance of 47 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, the Eagles defeated the Suns 120 to 112 by 8 points and successfully revenged!

Liu Mang persisted in the fourth quarter, and finally won the game. When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, he heard the system prompt, saw Nash's star card... and jumped up!
