From today on is the king

Chapter 979. 978. Background Emperor's Self-Cultivation
A mountain is taller than a mountain!

Even his teammates believed Liu Mang's realistic movements!
The irritable Rasheed Wallace and the young Josh Smith rushed up immediately. Duncan quickly hugged Rasheed Wallace, and Bunche Wells, who was a head short of Josh Smith, pushed forward without fear.

That is to say, Mai Di, an eighth-year veteran, did not rush to get angry, and went up to ask Liu Mang if he was okay, but the little prince still stood there like a quiet ugly man.

The referee hurried up to separate the two sides, and Ginobili was stunned. Didn't he act a little more violently and wanted to push Liu Mang back?What does this painful look mean?
Seeing that the conflict was about to start, the referee signaled to the technical station to watch the replay.

If Ginobili's "elbow" hits the waist so hard this time, it will be a malicious foul.

And booing has already started on the scene. The Spurs' offensive foul caused Ginobili to lose the possession of the ball that Ginobili just fouled and regained. The Spurs also lost the opportunity to immediately reduce the point difference to no points.

Many fans at the scene saw Ginobili's dive before, but the referee who whistled the penalty was in a blind spot so he didn't see it, and it was good for the home team, so there was no replay on the scene. This time it was good for the visiting team, so it had to be shown to the home fans.

When the referee watches the playback in slow motion, the big screen is synchronized.

Judging from the video, the movement is very obvious. Ginobili can’t squeeze when he circles in front of Liu Mang, so he bends his waist and walks in front of Liu Mang, and “hits” Liu Mang’s waist forcefully with his arms, especially the picture of the fast elbow swing back to normal speed after slow motion, it looks like the feeling of “inch strength”, a ruthless hand!

When Ginobili saw this scene, he was stunned.

The conscience of heaven and earth!When his elbow touched Liu Mang, he turned his wrist to grab Liu Mang's waist, but his elbow just touched it!But before he could wrap his arms around Liu Mang's waist, that guy fell down as soon as he touched it!
Based on the Spurs' trailing point difference, the Spurs' consistent impression of a dirty team, and the fact that Liu Mang has scored seven points in a row in the start, he will definitely be targeted by the Spurs. Even the Spurs may have the possibility of abolishing Carter. In addition, Ginobili's malicious action of "elbowing Liu Mang" on the waist, the referee decided on a penalty and gave Ginobili a technical foul.

Ginobili had a level 1 malicious foul when he played against the Suns, and another flagrant foul would add up to two level [-] malicious fouls in this year's playoffs.

The final penalty was an offensive foul by Ginobili's offensive elbow swing, plus a technical foul for malicious actions.

Liu Mang is a bit regretful, if he is a criminal, he would have gained the ball with two free throws, but now it is okay to add the ball with one free throw.

Even the Eagles players were deceived, and the Spurs players were also deceived. Popovich has nothing to say, there is a video!How can this be argued against?

Ginobili didn't know how to explain it. His acting skills were much better than that of the Argentinian. He basically committed fouls by taking advantage of the referee's whistle, which was able to look directly at his actions.
Seeing Liu Mang clutching his waist and twisting at the free throw line to soothe the joints and pain in his waist to win sympathy, Ginobili exploded in his mind: too cheap!Playing so well in private, what about the friendship between two rookies playing games and pecking at each other?Didn't Ben Bald just make you a rebounding foul?You actually tricked this bald technical criminal into adding a fine!

Liu Mang made a free throw and got 1 point, 8 to 2, the Eagles lead by 6 points and still have the ball!
Popovich did not call a timeout. The short timeout in the first quarter had already been used, and there were 5 long timeouts in the first half. Popovich took the fact that Liu Mang was elbowed by Ginobili seriously, so he would not call a 100-second timeout for Liu Mang to slow down and continue the game.

The Hawks serve from the center line, and Josh Smith sends the ball to McGrady.

Liu Mang continued to get the ball in the middle distance on the left side of the basket.

Ginobili didn't dare go around, this guy is too despicable.

The Eagles pulled away, Rasheed Wallace took Bunch Wells to the right corner, Prince took Parker to the left corner, and Josh Smith was on the right side of the three-second zone ready to hit the basket.

McGrady came to the top arc, hit the ground and passed the ball to Liu Mang who was about to reach the position at a 45-degree angle on the left.

After Liu Mang received the ball, Ginobili, who was in a state of fury, vehemently pushed him up.

Feeling Ginobili's defense, Liu Mang turned his head and said softly, "Hey, Manu, do you want me to teach you how to improve your acting skills?"

When Ginobili heard this, the bastard really acted!It's tighter.

"Ding... The high-position back-up skill is triggered at level 5, and the host's high-position turning and breakthrough speed +5 within two seconds..."

Taking advantage of Ginobili's tight fit, Liu Mang turned right and went off the assembly line. The speed of the start was so fast that Parker in the bottom corner had no time to switch defenses quickly!
Duncan didn't expect Liu Mang to turn around so quickly from a high position. In the past, Liu Mang turned his back from a high position, and there were relatively few opportunities to break through, and he didn't have such a good chance to turn around from the bottom line.

When Duncan made up to the left side of the three-second zone, he had already leaked out Josh Smith, who was pulled to the middle distance. Before Liu Mang and Duncan made contact, he quickly passed to Josh Smith.

hit!

Rasheed Wallace's corner three-pointer in this round of the finals is still stable, but there are not so many opportunities.

11 is better than 2!

The Eagles lead by 9 points!

It’s too unexpected!

Finally couldn't bear it anymore, Popovich called a timeout again, only played for 4 minutes, and was scored 11 points by the opponent!
Popovich expected the offensive situation on his side, and the opponent's defense would be very hard, but he didn't expect the opponent to score 4 points in 11 minutes!
The Spurs' defense is fine, and their execution is very good, except that Rasheed Wallace's three-pointer just now was caused by Ginobili's failure to stick to the defensive strategy that prevented the opponent from giving the opponent such a good breakthrough opportunity, but the first 8 points of Liu Mang's 7 points were beyond expectations!
……

Liu Mang scored 4 points in 8 minutes, and played the best offensive performance in this finals except when he used Jordan's star card in the first game, which he did not expect.

The key is that the Spurs have learned a lot in defense in the first two games. They know how to use their home court to defend against the Eagles when the "three-headed eagles" are performing their duties, and they have formed defensive habits, mainly because of the formation of defensive habits. Liu Mang's sudden explosion made the Spurs, a team that is not good at dealing with explosive players, unable to quickly find a new defensive method.

The 9-point difference is the biggest difference between the two teams in the finals except for the third game. The players on the Eagles side, who were originally made anxious by Liu Wei, are now completely on the rise.

After returning from the timeout, Liu Mang continued to rely on Ginobili in the high post to ask for the ball in singles. After Ginobili was scolded by Popovich, he began to defend against breakthroughs. Liu Mang turned over and missed a mid-range jumper.

When the Spurs attacked, the Spurs relied on Bunch Wells to cause Josh Smith to make two free throws for a foul.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Mang continued to play Manu Ginobili in high singles, and the mid-range shot with a lateral jump finally scored!

Liu Mang scored 10 points in a single quarter!

The Eagles continued to maintain a 13-point lead at 4 to 9!

After Liu Mang opened the pot in the middle distance, although he only hit one shot, the situation has been opened!
The Spurs attacked. Parker took advantage of Duncan's pull to the middle distance and Bunch-Wells' low post to attract Liu Mang's attack. He came to the free throw line and made a one-step shot, helping the Spurs make the second sports goal of the game.

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang continued to ask for the ball in the high position. As soon as he received the ball, Parker came up with Ginobili to double-team Liu Mang on the left side of the free throw line. Liu Mang had expected it and immediately gave the ball to Prince in the bottom corner.

However, the Eagles are open shots, and multiple shots will always score. Although the Spurs have Horry and the troika Garbunche-Wells, there are always defenders in front of them. Their biggest problem is the point guard.

Playing with the Eagles, they gradually stabilized their 10-point advantage.

Calling a timeout is useless. Liu Mang now has a breakthrough advantage. Using this advantage to play high singles, the opponent's defense is tight, he will continue to face the frame or back to the basket in singles at mid-range. The Spurs can only use early double-teaming.

有中投的刘莽使用韦德的04-05赛季的球星卡，还是被刘莽压迫进步到比原本突破还要厉害一点的韦德的04-05赛季的球星卡，打出了05-06赛季有中投的韦德的巅峰的感觉！

And with Wade's threat at the basket, although it is a weakened version, Liu Mang has a three-pointer and the threat is even greater.

The Spurs were also tenacious enough. By the end of the first quarter, they gradually got used to the Eagles' offense and increased their interference with the Eagles by switching defenses faster. The Eagles' outside shots were limited to a little bit. In addition, Duncan scored 5 points in the end of the first quarter. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Spurs by 29 points 21-8.

……

After the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 13 points and 2 assists. Not many assists, but he kept the Eagles alive!

During the intermission, Popovich began to make targeted arrangements for the Spurs' relatively successful play in the last two minutes of the first quarter.

For the Eagles, when it was time for the break, Coach Kruger was about to respond to the Spurs' relatively successful play in the second half of the first quarter, making arrangements for the Spurs' tactical play that relied on Duncan scoring five consecutive points to keep the point difference within 10 points. He just tapped on the tactical board to attract the players' attention.

Liu Mang took advantage of the situation and took over the tactical board.

Don't even think about it, Coach Kruger must be thinking about a safe tactic when leading by 8 points at this time, but what Liu Mang wants is not a safe tactic!
The teammates are used to it, and they surround Liu Mang to watch Liu Mang's tactical arrangements.

Coach Kruger tried his best to squeeze into the crowd, and finally squeezed in.

Seeing Liu Mang's tactic, coach Kruger was a little dizzy, but let alone, this tactic, as the head coach of the Spurs, he would never have imagined, and it has been proved that this style of play is actually effective for the Spurs...

……

At the end of the intermission, the Eagles sent a combination of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Korver, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace.

This lineup was requested by Liu Mang, and it has something to do with his next style of play.

For the Spurs, Ginobili, Brent Barry, Horry, Bunche Wells, and Duncan played.

The Spurs want to strengthen their offense, and they have a good defensive system. Although Parker is missing, they can still hold on. The main reason is that their offense is too poor, and the Eagles are too good. They have to strengthen their offense.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs took the lead.

Liu Mang scored 13 points in a single quarter!
Ginobili only scored 5 points in the first quarter, and he felt that he had received a great humiliation, and the matchup with Liu Mang almost fell behind in the entire series.

Originally, Ginobili disdained to flop against Liu Mang, who he thought was the strongest opponent in his life, but he was forced to use flops, and the opponents flopped better than him!
As soon as the second quarter came up, Ginobili took the ball and rushed towards the inside.

Liu Mang was very focused on defense and did not lose his position. Ginobili's hard-to-defend left-handed European footsteps, Liu Mang relied on his familiarity with left-handers to force Ginobili to change direction to the middle when he changed direction. Josh Smith came up to interfere in time.

but!

When he was forced by Liu Wei and Josh Smith to have no passing angle or shooting angle, he turned his back to the basket, broke his shooting left hand from the pinching circle of Liu Wei and Josh Smith, and threw the ball high with his back to the basket.

Josh Smith jumped very high, but Ginobili's ball was like an anti-aircraft gun, and when it fell, it went hollow into the basket!

A demon sword is a demon sword!This kind of ball actually went in!Liu Mang and Josh Smith could only look at each other and smile wryly.

It has been prevented to the extreme.

Glancing at each other, Josh Smith immediately turned around and picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Mang, the Eagles player was almost down!

Speed ​​up quickly!
Liu Mang received a free throw and ran towards the frontcourt. Josh Smith was also very fast. It took the Eagles only 4 seconds to reach the frontcourt collectively.

However, the Spurs retreated quickly, which did not allow the Eagles to counterattack quickly.

After Liu Reck came to the frontcourt, he came to the top arc, and Ginobili defended steadily. Now he didn't dare to play any tricks against Liu Reck, so he defended honestly. If he made another technical foul, he would have to be punished.

The counterattack did not come out directly, the Eagles began to fight and fell into position, Korver went to the left corner and took away Barry, McGrady went to the right 45-degree corner to take away Horry, Josh Smith was on the right side of the three-second zone, and Bunch Wells squeezed together.

Rasheed Wallace came out with Duncan and helped Liu Mang block Ginobili.

Liu Mang ran a pick-and-roll and was about to break through. Ginobili went directly in front of the pick-and-roll to prevent Liu Mang from throwing a three-pointer. Duncan took a step back to prevent Liu Mang from breaking through. The Spurs defended the pick-and-roll just like that.

Ginobili just passed around the three-point line, ready to block Liu Mang's three-pointer, and would rather give Liu Mang two more points. However, as soon as he bypassed Rasheed Wallace, Ginobili was blocked by Josh Smith!

Liu Mang took a step horizontally, left the position of the two, grabbed the ball and made a motion to shoot, and Bunch Wells made up for it.

Duncan reacted faster. He judged that the ball might be passed in. Rasheed Wallace had already rushed in. Duncan quickly retreated to the reasonable collision zone to block Rasheed Wallace.

Sure enough, as Duncan expected, Liu Mang didn't leave the ground and threw the ball directly to the basket.

Duncan was very steady, he didn't make a move to jump up and intercept, but stuck Rasheed Wallace firmly, preventing Rasheed Wallace from jumping and receiving the ball. The height of the ball thrown to the basket would not be able to hit the basket and the backboard, which Duncan can be sure of.

Just as Duncan caught Rasheed Wallace, tilted his neck and looked up to watch the ball fly out of bounds, he saw a guy wearing the No. 6 jersey rushing towards him...

"bang"

"bang"

The ball was caught by the flying No. 6 in the air and smashed into the basket, just hitting Duncan's head!

Duncan had no expression when he was hit by the ball. Looking at Josh Smith who landed, he still had no expression. He looked down at the ball that hit his head and bounced to his feet. He stayed for a second, bent down to pick up the ball, and went out of bounds to serve.

This attack, Popovich on the sidelines was dumbfounded!

The style of play has changed too fast!
In the last 2 minutes of the first half, the Spurs fell behind by 12 points. In the end, they replaced this lineup and played a wave of 5-1, finding a way to deal with the Eagles.

According to common sense, an advantageous style of play should be maintained. Popovich is like this. His style of play has always been very stable, and his offensive style of play can be used. He mainly adjusted from the defensive end. Popovich won two games in this way, and their defense is indeed good. Not only the Eagles, even in the peak period of the OK combination, to deal with them can only be defeated by O'Neal and Kobe with absolute strength.

But in the new quarter, the Eagles gave up the 29 points in a single quarter that was so effective in the first quarter, and suddenly became a small ball!That is run and bomb!

Popovich could tell at a glance that this was the Suns' tactics when they played against the Suns in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns won their game in the fourth game!

Using the three-point threat of the strongest three-pointer to perform a double pick-and-roll, completely pull out the mid-range pass interference and let the power forward go to the basket.

The Suns used Nash's three-pointer and Stoudemire's air cut to let Sean Marion go for the main attack. The Eagles played a similar tactic!

Just when the Spurs felt they had found some way to deal with Liu Wei in the first quarter, they prepared how to deal with Liu Wei during the inter-section break. In the second quarter, Liu Wei suddenly changed his style of play!

Steve Nash's 10 Minute Superstar Star Card!
