1336.The Strongest Lore (1/5)

The referee watched the replay and gave Ginobili, who was sent off, a first-degree malicious foul.

If you can't prevent it, you have to make unnecessary moves, and it will cause the opponent to be injured, and it will be a proper malicious foul.

Ginobili and Maddie were sent off because of a fight, and malicious fouls were added.

Then there were technical fouls, Liu Mang and Jason Terry were both whistled for technical fouls for pulling Artest, and Kwame Brown elbowed Duncan when he was held by Duncan to break free, and also received a technical foul, and Duncan was also whistled for a technical foul.

The fans all felt so strange, in a fight, there was Artest, 7 people who participated and tried to participate, two were sent off, four people ate a technical foul, and one foul, but all had nothing to do with Artest!

Technical fouls on both sides were canceled out, and the Hawks made a two-free throw.

The Spurs called a timeout.

With two minutes and forty-five seconds left in the third quarter, 65-68, the Spurs are still three points behind, and the opponent still has two free throws and one throw, but for the Spurs, it has more advantages!

The opponent has two starters who can't play!

The head coach of some teams is very disgusted with players who will maliciously hurt the opponent, most of them are former players who retire and become head coaches, but players become head coaches are not necessarily like that, Popovich is not the kind of person who will feel guilty after his players hurt the other party, he does not express his position on this kind of thing, does not encourage it, but he will not use this player because of this.

But even so, Ginobili was sent out, which was a big problem for the Spurs in the fourth quarter!

Seeing the other party, Jason Terry and Liu Mang, Popovich had a headache, this duo, relying only on Parker and Duncan, it is difficult to get by!

Ginobili is here, the troika is combined, it is worthy of any opponent, but there is one less, not just three minus one, just Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Maddie appeared together and even Mihawks has an empty shot The same as the troika is also a truth.

The open shot and scoring continuity of the position that the star is good at must be higher than the role player, otherwise he would not be a star.

Can you only reuse Artest?

……

Coming back from a timeout, Jason Terry walked to the free throw line and made two free throws.

With both free throws, the Hawks extended their lead to 70-65, a five-point lead, and possession of the ball.

The Eagles fielded a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Spurs sent a lineup of Parker, Michael Finley, Artest, Duncan, and Elson.

Without Marion, the Spurs aren't worried about the Hawks' one-four or four-small speeds.

The Hawks attacked, and Jason Terry missed a mid-range pullup jump shot.

When the Spurs attacked, the situation that the Hawks couldn't defend appeared, Artest ran Prince into the basket, and forced a layup to hit a hard bang!

It's a rare opportunity to get the main attack, Artest is very excited!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry began to wave, without the two main forces, the tactical aspect collapsed, and the conventional tactics did not work against the Spurs, and it was better to play alone.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry each scored a goal at the end of the third quarter to score five points together, but Artest scored three in a row! And it also played a 2+1!

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks only led by 3 points, 75-72!

……

Although he didn't play for a year, he interrupted Artest's growth period when he almost advanced to the MVP level, and because he didn't play for a year, he didn't even perform as well as the first few games of the 04-05 season, and the Pacers started the 04-05 season with 7 wins and 1 loss, and Artest averaged 24 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals per game, a real MVP-level performance.

But Artest, despite his decline, is still one of the best small forwards.

Popovich wants to use it, and Artest will be able to contribute immediately!

Looking at the ability evaluation of Artest 89, the technique is not good, the body is not good, without Maddie, he can't stop it at all, Liu Mang's head is very big!

In the fourth quarter, at the beginning of the game, the Spurs tied the score, and the Hawks immediately called a timeout and replaced Granger, and only Granger could hold Artest!

Battier and Prince tried, but the physical gap was too big, but Granger, a sophomore, was tall and could interfere a little to give Liu Mang a chance to help defend.

When Battier and Prince defended, Liu Mang couldn't even find a chance to help defend, and how to defend himself when a muscle monster like Artest rushed up at the peak of his physiology at the age of 27.

However, after Granger went up to Liu Mang and had a chance to help defend, the problem came again, and Parker's cut began to tear the space...... Duncan and Michael Finley in the bottom corner also started firing......

Fortunately, Liu Mang and Jason Terry are accurate enough!

Liu Mang hit the free-throw line jumper again and again, Artest needed to help defend Jason Terry, Liu Mang shot quite a highlight performance at the free throw line, and the free-throw line jumper in 5 of 8 shots in the final quarter helped the Hawks and the Spurs "new troika" to compete.

Artest scored 13 points in less than 14 minutes from the end of the third quarter to the first eleven minutes of the fourth quarter, and his performance was quite strong, which surprised the fans, and the TV commentator also said that it was strange that Artest was back to the level of last season, and because of Parker and Duncan, he played better.

Why Artest did not "integrate" before becomes an inexplicable question.

But Artest scored 13 points in less than 14 minutes, and still couldn't help the Spurs take the lead, Liu Mang was too stable in the middle distance!

Artest's amazing performance can't hide that Liu Mang used Jason Terry to contain Artest's mid-range defense after being blocked in three-point and basket, and hit jumpers from the free throw line again and again, steady! Powerful!

The stable performance of the two-time MVP and the three-time Finals MVP made the Spurs lead by Liu Mang's mid-range shot when they were about to overtake the score repeatedly.

With 46 minutes remaining, the Eagles attacked.

Liu Mang received a pass after Jason Terry's single breakthrough attracted the pack, and Liu Mang, who had already thrown 5 free-throw line jumpers in the final quarter, attracted Parker, Michael Finley, and Duncan to get the ball into the hands of David Lee on the baseline, and David Lee hit a key mid-range jumper!

98-96, the Hawks lead by two points!

29 seconds left!

The Eagles lead by two points!

Spurs call a timeout!

……

The Eagles have to defend on their side!

Mike Woodson predicted that the opponent would use one big and four small to extend the offensive advantage, and after suggesting, Coach Kruger sent Liu Mang, Prince, Battier, Granger, and Kwame Brown to the lineup.

Sure enough, the Spurs really used a lineup of one big and four small, with Udri, Finley, Bowen, Artest, and Duncan on the court.

Talking about his aversion to three-pointers, Popovich is still very honest physically, they have always had a lot of shooters, sent three three-pointers, and Duncan and Finley, two players with excellent mid-range shots.

In 29 seconds, you basically won!

The Spurs played the ball in the front court, Liu Mang stuck to Udri, Finley was entangled by Prince, Battier was in the bottom corner of Bowen, and Artest sent the ball to Duncan who pulled out.

Kwame Brown defended the three-point line, and in terms of speed, he was not afraid of Duncan, and he wished that Duncan would go straight through.

Duncan's basic skills as a big man of two meters and one are really solid, and he dribbled the ball to the left side of the free throw line, this position is Duncan's offensive area, Kwame Brown does not dare to be careless at all, Duncan has 19 points and 13 boards, 8 of 15 shots, especially 5 of 10 shots, too stable! If it weren't for the strange 2-of-6 free-throw shooting percentage, the Spurs might have already won the game.

Liu Mang followed Yudri to run, Prince went to defend Finley's cut and mid-range catch-and-shoot jumper, and Artest, after going around in a circle, came around from the top arc and ran to a 45-degree angle to the left.

At this time, Duncan moved towards the top arc, and Kwame Brown focused on defending Duncan without giving any chance.

Duncan threw the ball behind him when he passed Artest in position, and then went sideways to block Granger who was chasing Artest!

At the same time, the left half of his body also hung up Kwame Brown, who reacted and wanted to change the defense!

In just an instant, in less than half a second, Artest received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and in the vacancy created by Duncan's one-block and two, he did not waste the opportunity, and the hard shot put-style three-point smashing hit!

This goddamn nerd! The awareness and imagination of the pick-and-roll are also too good! I can actually think of such a one-on-two method!

Liu Mang had already let go of Yudri and pounced, but he was still a beat slower, mainly because Duncan blocked it too well, so that Artest had full confidence to shoot three points!

How can this old man get older and more demonic!

Liu Mang waved his hand to the bench after Artest threw in to signal not to call a timeout, and yelled at Prince under the basket: "Give me the ball!" ”

There are 8 seconds left, no more timeouts!

The opponent runs a lot, and the return defense is also messy!

Prince immediately sent the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang quickly advanced and counterattacked!

The Spurs weren't careless about a three-pointer, and after the goal, Duncan and Artest beckoned their teammates to quickly retreat.

But when Liu Mang rushed up first, the closest to Liu Mang was Artest, and he immediately defended Liu Mang here, and Liu Mang changed direction horizontally and rushed through the half court first.

At this time, Jason Terry and Battier have a tacit understanding that one goes to the right and the other to the left, and the two wings attract the defense, and when Liu Mang rushes to the top arc, only Youdri, Finley, and Artest retreat first.

Liu Mang stopped outside the three-point line!

Artest was very excited after his three-point shot, and when he saw Liu Mang bending his knees to exert his strength, he immediately pounced.

Liu Mang took the initiative to lean back......

"Anderwan!"

Liu Mang roared, and was hit by Artest who pounced on him from behind and threw himself forward......

The referee blew the whistle with a black line, this ball and Nidaye!

Liu Mang was knocked out by Artest, and the ball was sent directly forward in a straight line, flying out of Liu Mang's hand and smashing on the basket with a bang......

However, the ball was properly fouled!

At the last moment, Liu Mang did not choose to dodge the shot after flying Artest, and today he hit few three-point shots, and Liu Mang chose to make a foul! Three free throws in a steady!

Unexpectedly, the last resort was to rely on the big killer at the beginning of his career - touching porcelain!

Hearing the boos of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang found that it was still fun to touch porcelain!

With 1.5 seconds left, the Spurs have no timeout!

Artest wailed in pain, seeing that he relied on his performance to help the Spurs overtake the score at a critical moment, and finally fouled!

Artest squatted on the ground and stared at Liu Mang through gritted teeth.

Liu Mang felt this hot gaze, turned his head and stuck out his tongue at Artest, so angry that Artest wanted to bite!

After high-fives with your excited teammates, walk to the free throw line.

Three free throws!

Ignoring the interference, Liu Mang's mood has been very stable in the fourth quarter, since Maddie and Ginobili fought, Liu Mang has been very stable in 6 of 10 shots, cold-blooded, at the critical moment, Liu Mang's mood has been very stable.

In the desperate boos of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang hit three free throws in a row!

At 101-99, the Hawks once again led by three points!

The Spurs are out of timeout!

There were 1.5 seconds left, and there was no substitution when Liu Mang made a free throw, the ball was sent out, Finley tried his best to throw it towards the opposite basket, the rebound didn't touch, and when the ball was still flying in the air, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

With 31 points, 8 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Liu Mang relied on touching porcelain to kill the Spurs when his two starting teammates left!

With 4 consecutive wins, the Hawks improved their record to 12-6!
