46. No one can stop anyone
This defense sucks, too! Don't want to win?
No wonder Kidd later said that he didn't want to partner with Carter, how could Kidd, a defensive player like Carter, look down on Carter's defense.
But what's this Carter's favor?
Depend on!
Carter wouldn't be a, would he?
"Vince Carter's liking for the host comes from Tracy McGrady's two offenses and defenses that were disgraced by the host."
I see.
Are Carter really cousins with Maddie though? Why is Maddie so happy with Carter?
At this time, the Hawks' tactical movement was about the same, Jason Terry and Chris Crawford came out around the baseline to catch the ball after the off-ball block, but after the block, the Raptors went to clamp Jason Terry, and no one cared about Chris Crawford at all.
And Chris Crawford basically has no offensive threat except for counterattacking, and at the same time the defensive end is average, which is the gap between the Hawks and those really top teams, except for the starting bench to find too good players.
There is no way, Liu Mang chooses three points to shoot directly!
"Bang"
Iron!
Not to mention, Carter's lack of defense has a great impact on Liu Mang, because Liu Mang's good shooting is three points after blocking and dismantling, and others can also shoot, but they are not so stable, after all, the bonus of the master of blocking and dismantling is completely a bug.
And this time Carter didn't stick to him at all, so he could only shoot with his own shooting ability, of course, it couldn't be scored every time.
However, the Hawks now really have a lineup advantage over the Raptors, Muhammad grabbed the defensive rebound, and then saw Liu Mang, who moved to a 45-degree angle, immediately threw out.
The most criticized point of Carter's defense is that he doesn't mark people!
Seeing that there was no one in front of him, Liu Mang rushed into the three-point line to receive the ball and hit the inside.
No one stands in the way at all! Liu Mang directly killed to the edge of the three-second zone.
Raptors power forward, Keon Clark, a seven-foot-tall but 98-kilogram bamboo pole, could only pounce.
Liu Mang took the initiative to stick to it and hit Keane Clark's arm that pounced.
The referee's whistle blows! Not to mention, in addition to the difference in weight between Liu Mang and Keane Clark, the strength is really half a pound and eight taels, Liu Mang took advantage of the situation to throw the big hook hand from the outside to the basket.
Shooting foul!
The scene immediately booed!
But that's not all!
The ball that Liu Mang threw to the basket was actually lucky enough to hit the rebound and bounce to the basket, and after rolling on the basket twice, it fell in!
2+1!
The boos at the scene were even louder!
Who is the player in the most news for the Eagles this season?
It's Liu Mang! And it's all sorts of "negative" news, and everyone is calling him shameless.
Here we go again! It is clear that rushing to the basket is to make a foul, and the shot is purely lucky.
The first time he used this trick away from home, Liu Mang finally felt the feeling of being booed all over the world by Brother Deng.
Facing such a dense boo for the first time, Liu Mang was originally a little distracted, but the voice in his head made him sober.
"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for the Toronto Fan Dissent achievement, rewarding Rogue with 3000 points. ”
“…… I say system, this rogue value is that the more people I make hate me, the more rewards I get? Liu Mang said it hurt a lot.
"The host misunderstands that the more troublesome and difficult the opponent feels, the more difficult you are, or even become their invincible opponent, just like Jordan is a rogue in basketball, the more rogue points you get."
Listen to your nonsense!
Liu Mang didn't care about this anymore and concentrated on the free throws.
For a fairly good pitcher, the free throws are still very stable, Liu Mang hit the free throws, and 2+1 was played!
After finishing the three-point shot, Liu Mang returned to the Hawks half-court defense.
Still unable to prevent it, Carter rushed to the inside again, and this time Muhammad rushed directly to hug the jumping Carter and sent Carter to the free throw line.
Clay figurines are also fiery!
Carter hasn't finished the first quarter five or six times, although only one dunk has been successful, but one is enough to be the top ten or even the N big dunk of the season!
Moreover, Muhammad was not a good stubble in the first place, of course, he was talking about the playing side.
Seeing that Liu Mang was passed by one step twice, mainly because of the physical aspect, Hawks assistant coach Mike Woodson said to Coach Kruger: "Lang, replace Ace, he's too thin to guard against Carter." ”
Liu Mang would definitely be shocked when he saw Mike Woodson, but he didn't know what the names of his assistant coaches were, and Mike Woodson still had hair at this time, not the Knicks head coach who had to shave his head later when the Mediterranean Sea had fallen to the city and the countryside.
Mike Woodson's coaching is characterized by the fact that anyone can be a laggard except for the core, and the most amazing thing about his coaching is that regardless of the lineup, regardless of the record, his team's average points per game is not as high as the average points per game of the opponents they play against, which is really not easy.
"We don't have anyone who can guard Carter, but three points are always more than two." Coach Kruger didn't take Mike Woodson's advice.
Three points are always more than two? What a reason!
Mike Woodson's idol is Larry Brown, who clearly can't understand the idea of a head coach who comes out of a modern basketball university.
But the situation on the court is clearly still controlled by the Eagles.
Because Carter defends Liu Mang either by taking a step back, or by sticking it up, when he takes a step back, Liu Mang shoots directly, and he has a rebounding advantage on the inside, and if he enters, he will enter, and if he does not enter, there is a great chance that the Hawks can also grab the rebound.
As for Jason Terry, he is in despair, because he is the only star on the Hawks court, he is enjoying the treatment of being wrapped around without the ball, and he is a double bag when he gets the ball, so Liu Mang can play very comfortably.
When Carter really couldn't get in the way of face and came up to defend, Liu Mang and Muhammad's blocking and dismantling cooperation started to fight, Liu Mang's three points were more accurate, and he became extremely sharp when he cut into the basket, and rushing in caused an inside foul.
After playing so many games, Liu Mang also felt that the power brought by the bench bandits looked much better than the improved comprehensive basketball ability! The main thing that affects Liu Mang's comprehensive ability value is defense and strength confrontation, as well as mid-range shooting, basket finishing ability, etc., but Liu Mang is very smart, and he uses the two only advantages of speed and shooting to play repeatedly, and when facing the opponent's second lineup, it is unlikely that the opponent will deliberately use the best defensive players to defend him, the key is that many teams do not have such characters, Liu Mang plays very aggressively! Come up and make a difference!
Even though he can't even hinder Carter's breakthrough, Carter is not just a first-class player like Francis, he is a superstar!
However, Carter can't stop Liu Mang!
