369. It's so lonely to make a foul! (Add more 3/9, 5000 words plus more for a monthly pass~)
Penalty kick!
Liu Mang took a deep breath.
If it were any other NBA player, he would definitely be so angry that his mentality would be unbalanced by now.
But Liu Mang's ideas are always so different.
Why do you make the master so unhappy! Master is going to make you even more unhappy!
saw Liu Mang's impulsive action to fight before, in the worry of Chinese fans and Georgia fans in front of the TV; In Detroit and most basketball fans across the United States, Liu Mang hit both free throws calmly beyond everyone's expectations.
The fans at the scene booed and booed, how could it feel so meaningless? Seeing that Liu Mang was not affected at all, he had no sense of accomplishment at all.
On the other side of the ocean, the commentator of the imperial court began to boast that Liu Mang's psychological quality was better.
In fact, most of the domestic media are quite friendly to their players playing in the top league, especially Liu Mang has a good relationship with the imperial court.
Liu Mang despises the fans here, just one sentence, knowing that you are soft eggs, you are like toilet paper, you are rotten, okay!
Liu Mang thinks that Coach Kruger's English name is really good, and it feels similar to others calling him by his name and scolding himself, which seems to be prescient......
Coach Kruger on the sidelines sneezed inexplicably, a little puzzled, he didn't have a cold! Don't infect these big men, the higher you grow, the more severe the symptoms of the cold, and the more severe the fever.
It's time for the Pistons to attack again, and they haven't called a timeout yet, because there are still some tactical changes available.
It was still the same tactic, Ben Wallace pulled out to block the pick-and-roll, but Latliff still didn't go out, so Clifford Robinson, who was pulled out first, came back first for Chris Williams to block Ratliff, and Chris Williams pulled to the right mid-range.
But the Hawks immediately changed their defense, Muhammad went to stick to Chris Williams, and because of the Pistons' big moves to defend before, the Hawks' side of the defense also became bigger, full of muscle confrontation.
After blocking Chris Williams first, Clifford Robinson immediately moved to the left to block Joan Barry, who was posted by Rahim after the block, to create an open opportunity for Joan Barry or Clifford Robinson himself.
That's when Ben Wallace's shortcomings, his unfit for future NBA play, and his early elimination became apparent.
The tactics were very good, but they couldn't stand the Hawks ignoring him on the outside, Liu Mang immediately went to change the defense of Joan Barry, Raheem followed Clifford Robinson, and Ben Wallace was hung out in the middle distance and no one paid attention to him.
At this time, Ben Wallace is useless, his height of two meters and six is not even able to play alone under the basket, worse than Ratliffe, Ratliff can rely on his height to play high, Ben Wallace's scoring threat on the offensive end is simply negligible, not only is the average score per game low, but the shooting percentage is not even as low as an inside.
Here's how Mike Woodson thought of a counterattack after seeing the Pistons' defense at the start of the game with no offensive threat from Dean Groff.
After Chris Williams passed the ball to Ben Wallace, he stopped, Ben Wallace didn't shoot, his passing ability was also poor, and his teammates were difficult to catch the ball because of the opponent's strengthened defense, if he had a good hand, he could easily pass one to Joan Barry, who was running back and forth, but Ben Wallace didn't!
Seeing that their own time-pressing offense was approaching 24 seconds, Ben Wallace took a look at the basket and tried his best to aim for the shot......
"Smack"
Liu Mang swished out from behind Ben Wallace, jumped up hard, slapped the ball, and grabbed the ball directly with a hand bigger than Ben Wallace!
Ben Wallace was caught by Liu Mang!
Or is it a late entry...... Back Grab Hat!
Ben Wallace was ashamed and angry, and turned to snatch it back.
Just when Ben Wallace wanted to steal and just bent down to make contact with Liu Mang, Liu Mang fell directly! With Ben Wallace's bump into him, he fell out and elbowed Ben Wallace in the face.
Hit Ben Wallace in the nose again......
It's nosebleeds again......
The referee's whistle blew a little late and Ben Wallace fouled ......
This ball, judging from the action, it was indeed Ben Wallace who grabbed the ball and knocked people down, Ben Wallace's arm as thick as Liu Mang's legs, it couldn't be easier to overturn Liu Mang, but why did Ben Wallace look worse?
Ben Wallace covered his nose in pain, the fans at the scene saw this scene, saw this picture, saw this blowing penalty, and the boos couldn't stop!
But the Pistons didn't do what they did in the regular season this time!
In fact, whether the Pistons are the so-called bad boy legions or the Pistons Five Tigers, there are very few fights, and most of the conflicts are when they use evil criminals and big actions to provoke the other party, provoke and then take advantage of themselves with an innocent face, and watch the other party be sent out and banned for a year and a half.
Just like this time, Ben Wallace was very sensible and didn't fight Liu Mang, which made Liu Mang feel sorry, and at this time he was going up to fight 100% because he was punished himself.
But what difference does it make if you don't fight! No! Ben Wallace has already committed two crimes!
As the saying goes, the wicked have their own wicked grind, and their villainous team style continued until the final peak of the 07-08 season before the Pistons were completely disbanded after the Tigers.
The Pistons are fierce, but they meet even more rogue guys!
At the same time, the ball looked like an accident to others, and Liu Mang was ready to fight back, but he was pushed from behind and fell directly to the ground, "accidentally" his arm scraped Ben Wallace's face.
Ben Wallace couldn't even tell if he was suffering, how could he hit it so big! Just now, I collided directly with each other face to face, and the other party still had the kung fu to throw the ball out in the air, okay!
This is the reason why Coach Carlisle and Ben Wallace are not compatible at all, except that Ben Wallace is good at lowering the tempo and Coach Carlisle's philosophy is not compatible, Ben Wallace is still easily swept by the Nets even after introducing Billups and Prince next season, of course, even if Billups and Prince are introduced, and even the two are more mature and also introduced Rasheed Wallace in the 03-04 season, the Pistons and the Nets also played a tie-break to win the Nets, the Nets have been a ruthless character in recent years, If the Pistons hadn't taken them out in the '03-04 season, there was a good chance they would have made it to the Finals three years in a row.
In addition to this, Coach Carlisle likes to coach the kind of tough but not dirty players, the Pistons and his congenital eight characters are not compatible, Coach Carlisle and Ben Wallace do not match is obvious, Ben Wallace's height, in addition to defensive toughness and good physical fitness, there are more dirty defensive moves, in the summer of 03, Carlisle wanted to trade Ben Wallace for Maddy, wanted to change the style of the Pistons, and then he was fired.
What Motor City needs is toughness and iron, and that's what the fans love.
Coach Carlisle could trade Clifford Robinson, trade Stackhouse, who they've loved for years, or even change the whole team, but Ben Wallace just wasn't allowed to move!
This can be seen from the fact that the Pistons will not give Ben Wallace a big contract in the future, and after Ben Wallace joined the Bulls, the number of Pistons fans plummeted
Coach Carlisle replaced Ben Wallace, the staff who wiped the floor came up to deal with the bloodstains, Liu Mang also returned to the bench to wipe the blood stains on his arm, and the team doctor also came to check whether his arm was broken, and if there was blood contact, he had to go for an AIDS test.
Coach Carlisle replaced Ben Wallace with Rookie center Rebraxia, and the Hawks also replaced Ratlleaf with Newbell.
Ben Wallace is down, and the Hawks are going to start fighting back!
Liu Mang relied on Ben Wallace's own enthusiasm and irritable personality to bring Ben Wallace down, and the strength of the Pistons was directly cut in half, or even more!
The Pistons' lineup plays offense?
does not exist, except for Stackhouse, who averages 21 points per game, none of the others average 15 points per game, but Stackhouse is a pit in the playoffs, and his 32% shooting percentage is still played in the face of Iverson, just like Stackhouse was supposed to be hidden when he played the Celtics in the second round, and the Hawks, who played better defense than the Celtics this time, were also hidden.
Originally, with Ben Wallace, the Pistons could just defend, but now Ben Wallace has two fouls, and the Pistons are completely finished! Just like the Celtics could beat them 4-1, they didn't have the power to fight back!
In fact, the hope of the Pistons is to struggle one game, and it is almost impossible to turn the tables around, the Hawks are basically sure to win, Liu Mang would not be so shameless to rack his brains if it weren't for Dinah's honey flag-Wallace foul, he has always prided himself as a righteous man.
Ben Wallace is not there, and the Hawks' side offense is liberated!
Although Rebraxia is a thin and brisk center with good physical fitness, he is a seven-foot center after all, and it is basically impossible to defend against counterattacks!
And without Ben Wallace's urging quick retreat, the Pistons' retreat habits are gone, and the Hawks are starting to fight back wildly!
Liu Mang and Jason Terry's cavalry arrows charge!
Especially Liu Mang here, if the striker has a return defender who keeps up first, his impact becomes more ferocious!
The Pistons' dirty defensive moves had long made Liu Mang want to open fire and attack, so Jason Terry was very happy.
Said good headband brother!
In the past two days, not only did he not wear a headband, but he even dunked directly and did not pass it to his brother when he counterattacked, so sad.
However, Jason Terry is still very active in opening up space, and Jason Terry, who was originally in the middle and late stages of his career, didn't care so much about the data, but now because of Liu Mang's appearance, his consciousness has arrived in advance.
The Hawks didn't go on offense, and the defensive end did a very good job of limiting the Pistons.
Originally, in addition to Liu Mang's defensive obscenity, the Hawks' regular season defense mainly relied on Ratliff's basket deterrence, Rahim's defensive low post and mid-range singles, and Liu Mang's defensive shooter.
This made the Eagles' defense even fiercer.
When the Hawks' defense became fierce, the Pistons' already poor offense became worse, and they didn't have the defense they could rely on, and the Pistons collapsed.
In the second half of the first quarter, the Pistons were beaten 16-3! Only Clifford Robinson, who relied on a big heart, made a three-pointer, and the Pistons only made one shot in just over 5 minutes!
31-17, the Hawks led by 14 points in the first quarter!
After the start of the second quarter of the game, Liu Mang, Rahim, and Jason Terry smiled and struck at the inside one by one, and forced a strong attack on Ben Wallace with a hemostatic bandage on his nose.
It's clear that Ben Wallace is going to foul him, because Ben Wallace has already committed two fouls! If he hadn't committed two fouls, the Eagles' method of making fouls would not have been scientific, because they didn't know how long it would take, and Ben Wallace wouldn't have been so timid.
But he had already committed two offenses and had to dodge the fight, and it turned into the Eagles, and the three lewd eaglets had the upper hand!
For the style of play proposed by Liu Mang during the interval, it is like an evil devil in the current NBA, and everyone else feels that it is too obscene, especially Jason Terry and Rahim, who looked at Liu Mang's eyes in horror, and then nodded in agreement.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Hawks were not aiming for scoring, it didn't matter if they didn't shoot, anyway, whoever had the opportunity to touch Ben Wallace would directly stick it up and make a foul, and the fall was exaggerated.
It was another Hawks offense, three minutes in the second quarter, the Hawks only scored two points, or Muhammad's dunk, the score has been chased by the Pistons to 24-33, Liu Mang is still tirelessly rushing inside, Ben Wallace simply dodged and wanted Liu Mang to make a layup.
But Liu Mang was stunned and chose not to shoot the empty basket under the basket, spared a circle on the bottom line, and bypassed Ben Wallace, who didn't seem to make a foul, but looked worried about being blocked by Ben Wallace.
Ben Wallace looked at Liu Mang and didn't seem to want to bump into him, so he leaned closer and raised his arm high to block Liu Mang's possible throw.
Now is the time!
Liu Mang suddenly changed direction, Ben Wallace's upper body was already very alert and leaned back, but when Liu Mang changed direction, his foot took the initiative to hook Ben Wallace's foot that he had just moved over because of inertia and did not retract it at the first time, and then ...... Liu Mang screamed and fell to the ground, while also throwing the ball to the basket, which was easily caught by Ben Wallace.
At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and it was another shooting foul!
Ben Wallace dodged a lot, but finally got hit.
It's still Liu Mang!
Liu Mang feels so lonely! Fouls can only be made by the master!
Ben Wallace is a little numb and can't do the Eagles!
The main thing is this despicable and shameless rookie!
The fans at the scene were extremely unhappy!
But there's no way to take this rookie again!
If you want to talk about fighting...... Even if Liu Mang is a thin rookie, compared to ordinary people, this is already a tall muscular giant!
The morale of the Pistons dropped to freezing point!
They can't do anything about this rookie at home!
Yes, the difference narrowed to within 10 points in the second quarter, but they were even more desperate!
When the desire to win begins to crumble, it will be difficult to get it back, and it is time for the Eagles to harvest the game!
The cavalry company is on a sortie again!
Wave after wave of counterattacks, the more the Pistons defended, the more unmotivated they became, the offense could not score, and the defense could not be prevented, the enthusiasm hit hugely.
In the second half of the second quarter, the Hawks went on a 21-10 run, and at halftime, the Hawks led by 20 points at 54-34!
At the start of the second half, as soon as the Pistons replaced Ben Wallace, the three eaglets went up to make fouls with compassion, and full of despair lingered on the Pistons.
The Pistons are completely devastated!
After the third quarter, Coach Carlisle announced his surrender! It's as refreshing as when they were beaten 4-1 against Celtic.
I just can't beat it, what's the solution?
In the end, the Hawks defeated the Pistons 103-79 on the road, killing the Pistons' last hope of struggling!
Liu Mang got 33 points, 2 boards and 3 assists, Jason Terry got 31 points and 7 assists, Rahim scored 15 points, and the three young people once again combined to score 70+, leading the Hawks to six consecutive wins in the playoffs!
The Hawks faced the Raptors and Pistons in the playoffs, and they also played dominant, winning almost every game!
The Hawks proved with their strength that the big demons in the playoffs are not only the Nets, Lakers and Kings, they are also one of the big devils...... Of course, it's one of the big demon kings in the east, and the big demon king of the alliance is still two in the west.
……
……
The Pistons can actually struggle only in being eliminated 1-4, or being swept directly, of course, it is also possible that because of the third game win, there is a little possibility that the home court will win two consecutive wins.
But in the rout of the third game, the Pistons collapsed completely!
After a day's rest, the Eagles returned to Auburn Hills Palace, and Game 4 was even more relaxed than expected.
The Pistons players have lost their fighting spirit, and Starkerhouse, who did not play a minute in the third game, lashed out at the team management after the game, and Stackhouse has a good relationship with veterans such as Clifford Robinson and Atkins.
Stackhouse was hidden, which was originally the trigger for the Pistons to bring in Billups, even if the opponent was replaced by the Hawks, this fuse was still triggered.
The Hawks easily closed the fourth game, thinking that the Pistons would struggle for the fourth game, but the Hawks played a 122-87 game and won by more than 30 points.
4-0 sweep!
Plus the Lakers, Kings, and Nets who have swept their opponents before.
All the series of the entire second round, all of them were sweeps!
Fans are a little disappointed that there is no suspense at all in the second round, but at the same time, they are very excited, and the East and West finals will explode this time!
