From today on is the king

Chapter 961 960. Two ghosts knock on the door!

After the off-ball pick-and-roll and hand-offs on the two wings, the small block was big, and there was an extension behind to play a lob, and Bosh used Hamilton's running position and Billups' three-point threat to perform high and low double-tower passes for Ben Wallace. The Pistons showed a new tactic that had never been seen before in the first half of the game.
It was unexpected that the Hawks didn't have a new tactic to defend against the Pistons.

But coach Kruger's side is still as stable as Mount Tai, and has not been affected by the opponent's new tactics.

The reason is simple, the Eagles still lead by two points!

The Eagles scored 12 points on 6 of 17 shots!
It was not the Eagles who called the timeout to enter the official timeout, but the Pistons!
Liu Mang scored 7 points in the strong start half of the quarter, and McGrady scored 4 points and 2 assists.

Although the Pistons retreated quickly, and the offense also played positional warfare to slow down the rhythm, McGrady's judgment was very correct at the first time. Instead of starting with a fast running pass and cut, he used Liu Mang's singles to break the Pistons' defensive goal from the very beginning. The Pistons were ready to defend against the Eagles' fast running pass and cut.

Liu Mang and McGrady held up the threat of the opponent's new tactics at the beginning. Coach Kruger was naturally at ease and did not rush to call a timeout. Instead, he and Mike Woodson and Stockton watched the opponent's tactical changes. With Stockton, the offensive master and Mike Woodson, the defensive master, they studied the new offensive tactics of the Pistons in more detail.

During the timeout, coach Kruger changed and began to arrange tactical responses. Liu Mang was also called, Liu Mang was a very important part.

……

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning.

The Pistons don't need three defenders, two are enough. Kwame Brown, who is the main center in the playoffs for the first time in the interior, is still a bit edgy. Use Mourning to hold the line and let Kwame Brown learn from it.

The Pistons didn't make any substitutions. The five Pistons were either at their peak, or they were young players between the ages of 20 and 25. In this season's playoffs, their five starters all averaged more than 40 minutes per game, and there will be no substitutions in the first quarter.

After the timeout, the Pistons attacked. After Billups advanced to the frontcourt, he found that the opponent had changed defenders. Instead of chasing Hamilton, Liu Mang came to defend against him!
Jason Terry went to stare at Delfino's three-pointers and air cuts, defending against players whose style of play is similar to Prince's, Jason Terry just sticks to prevent him from receiving the ball easily.

Iguodala ran with all his strength to follow Hamilton. It was rare to play in regular time. It was not an easy opportunity. The coaching staff valued his enthusiasm.

Liu Mang came to the right side of the top arc to defend against Billups.

When Billups saw Liu Mang coming up, he immediately gestured to Hamilton. Hamilton immediately ran to the left side of the basket, caught Ben Wallace's pick-and-roll in the three-second zone and messed up the Eagles' weak defense on the left side.

It was very difficult for Liu Mang to chase and defend Hamilton, not to mention Iguodala, the Eagles' defensive attention at the basket was drawn to the weak side on the left side of the basket.

At this time, Billups has taken advantage of the trend and rushed towards the basket!

Liu Mang was close to Billups, but his strength was still a bit weaker. The opponent was a powerful point guard who could resist Francis and Wade among the league point guards. Although he didn't have the explosive power of Francis and Wade, he couldn't directly knock Liu Mang away, but he squeezed Liu Mang to the right of the three-second zone.

At this time, Bosh cut out from the baseline very tacitly. Billups was going to block Rasheed Wallace after another hand-off pass. Just as he caught the ball, he found that Liu Mang squeezed between him and Bosh with his speed!

Billups didn't pass the ball!

Bosh went around the bottom line to the middle distance, and Liu Mang followed behind Billups. Only then did Billups see that the one chasing Bosh was not Rasheed Wallace, but Mourning!

Liu Mang and Mourning caught Billups one after the other!

Billups has no passing space at all!

There was no other way, Billups forcibly took off, bumped into Mourning, and tried to draw a foul. Unfortunately, this is the home court of the Eagles, and there are still home whistles. Billups didn't get the whistle, so he leaned on Mourning and threw the ball towards the basket...

"Snapped"

Rasheed Wallace slaps the ball back over Mourning's head!

Rasheed - Wallace and Mourning's perfect inside block cooperation!
Liu Mang grabs the ball!
Fight back!
Jason Terry was ready a long time ago. The moment Liu Mang grabbed the ball, he immediately played it down. Liu Mang threw the ball out with a long pass, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

Jason Terry received the ball in the frontcourt, Hamilton followed without being thrown away, Jason Terry rushed inside, and attracted both Hamilton and Chris Bosh, who was catching up one step later, to the basket.

Iguodala burst out, received the ball and rushed into the free throw line and took off with one step. Bosh rushed to block the shot, but was knocked away by Iguodala. Iguodala knocked Bosh over and smashed the ball into the basket!

Jason Terry looked at Bosh who was knocked down and Hamilton who was knocked down from outside the three-second zone, and patted his chest. Fortunately, he ran fast!Then he went up to celebrate with Iguodala high-fiving, the referee blew his whistle, Bosh blocked the foul, and if the goal is valid, he will be punished!
The scene was suddenly detonated by Iguodala!
The aesthetic feeling of dunking is totally different from Liu Mang!

Liu Mang's dunks are mostly elegant, and the violent dunks are all sudden, giving people a sense of sudden excitement.

And Iguodala's dunks are all of this kind. It is clear that the dunk is to be dunked, and the opponent is also prepared, but they just can't prevent it!That kind of crazy violent aesthetics makes people excited!

Bosh can assist in defense, and one-on-one defense is not bad, but this kind of defense rushes in from the outside, every time he is abused...

Feeling so pitiful, Bosh silently got up, patted his butt, and stood to the right of the free throw line.

Liu Mang looked at the two people who were clapping. Although he was robbed of his perfect three-point chance with a snack, he still acted like a boss, very calm, and did not reveal his desire to kill these two guys. He went up and wanted to high five.

But as soon as Liu Mang went up, Iguodala turned around and walked to the free throw line after the high-five. Jason Terry also turned and ran to the backcourt to prevent Iguodala from making a free throw. Jason Terry's defensive attitude is nothing to say.

When Liu Mang walked up, they all regarded Liu Mang as preparing to grab free throw rebounds. Liu Mang had the highest rebound average per game in the Eagles except for Kwame Brown and Muhammad. Therefore, when Liu Mang raised his hands to high-five, the eyes of the two happened to be staggered from him...

It's not that Jason Terry and Iguodala ignored Liu Mang, but they really didn't see it...

The active counterattack went to the top arc, so that Billups and Ben Wallace who were chasing up did not care about Iguodala who was cutting the ball. They wanted to block Liu Mang from receiving the ball for a three-pointer, giving Iguodala a perfect chance to abuse Bosh, and Jason Terry.

Forget about Jason Terry, this dwarf is short, and it is acceptable not to see Liu Mang's self-comfort, but Iguodala didn't see it!
The picture of Liu Mang raising his hands freezes for a moment, then raises his hands above his head, stretches his waist, and yawns.

The fans at the scene also discovered Liu Mang's actions at this time. Seeing Liu Mang stretching his waist to cover up, the fans at the scene couldn't help but burst out laughing...
