572. Pierced in the heart
Even if the Philadelphia fans are very friendly to Liu Mang because of Iverson's relationship, but watching Liu Mang play the players of his own team like this, even if the player 76ers own fans don't like it, but it depends on the owner to beat the dog, there were a lot of boos at the scene.
But to Liu Mang's surprise, the fans were not happy, and Glenn Robinson actually held back!
It was simply unexpected!
Liu Mang thought that Glenn Robinson was going to be angry, who would have thought that this guy would turn around and pick up the ball.
Liu Mang ran to the backcourt to defend.
Although Glenn Robinson's head is often muddy and he can't see the situation clearly, one thing he knows very well is that if he doesn't have good statistics this year, he wants a big contract next season is a dream, and if he doesn't sit firmly on the team before Iverson returns, he may be abandoned again when Iverson returns.
Of course, it is also a question whether this point that he thinks he knows very well is really what he thinks.
It's time for the 76ers to attack again, and Glenn Robinson continues to get the ball, wanting to organize the offense well and give the Hawks a good look.
However, after Liu Mang's side blocked a wave, Rahim couldn't hold back and came up to defend against Glenn Robinson, and Rahim was not as "benevolent" as Liu Mang, or he didn't have Liu Mang's playfulness, he wanted to defeat Glenn Robinson in one fell swoop and solve the game in one fell swoop!
Looking at Rahim's gestures, Liu Mang felt that he hadn't played enough, but he couldn't help it, he had to defend with all his might!
In the first two rounds of defense, the rest of the Hawks were staring at people, watching Liu Mang and Glenn Robinson one-on-one, but this time, except for Raheem, who went to the top arc to defend, the other four highly mobile players were actively stuck in the position, and they were ready to rotate the defense at any time, and the package was filled!
Glenn Robinson pushed in and wanted to organize the offense, but found that the Eagles' team defense suddenly tightened up and beckoned Mark Jackson to come out to block the pick-and-roll, but it was not Rasheed Wallace who came out behind Mark Jackson, but Prince!
The Hawks directly let go of Snow, a point guard who played more than 300 straight shots in his career and made more than 30 three-pointers, Rasheed Wallace was stationed under the basket, and Prince came out to defend the pick-and-roll.
After Glenn Robinson picked up Mark Jackson's block, he faced another defensive striker, and Mark Jackson couldn't do it if he wanted to rely on his physical strength to cut into the inside, Raheem and Mark Jackson pulled into the inside, and the pick-and-roll didn't work at all!
There was no room to break through, and there was no chance to shoot!
For the first time, Glenn Robinson felt how these two former teammates could be so strong!
Prince's defense doesn't have Liu Mang's rough movements, but Glenn Robinson doesn't feel like a breakthrough, neither is his shooting, it's all shrouded in Prince's defense!
Glenn Robinson continued to change direction, but he couldn't get rid of Prince, his speed is far less than it was back then, not to mention wanting to get rid of Liu Mang by changing direction, even Prince couldn't get rid of it, Prince took advantage of Glenn Robinson's unpreparedness and posted it to force Glenn Robinson to stop the ball!
At this time, the rest of the Hawks stuck the rest of the 76ers and didn't give them a chance to catch the ball, Glenn Robinson had been dribbling for more than ten seconds, seeing that the 24-second offensive time was coming, he shook Prince, Prince didn't shake it, Prince's height and arm span advantage was too obvious, he could interfere with it by stretching out his hand, and it was very clear in his head that the opponent's shooting accuracy was average, the key was very clear, Glenn Robinson couldn't dribble again, just raise his hand to block Glenn Robinson's shooting angle.
Glenn Robinson couldn't pass the ball, Snow came up to answer, but Liu Mang was tightly adhered to, Glenn Robinson saw that the 24-second offensive time was about to pass, so he could only force the ball to jump back and throw the ball.
Three do not stick!
This is pure blindness!
Rasheed Wallace and Muhammad jammed and Raheem picked up a defensive rebound.
Counterattack!
Liu Mang and Prince, who were defending Snow and Glenn Robinson, immediately went down quickly after Glenn Robinson threw the ball out, Raheem made a long pass to Liu Mang, Liu Mang attracted the defense of Snow and Glenn Robinson, Prince reduced his speed and stopped outside the three-point line, Liu Mang passed back to Prince, and Prince received the ball and hit a three-point shot!
The cavalry company is on a sortie again!
……
If you want Glenn Robinson to collapse, Liu Mang competes with him one-on-one, even if it is humiliating, it is difficult for Glenn Robinson to collapse, he has been beaten by Kobe, Maddie and others once or twice, in the 90s, it was common to be abused by Jordan, Drexler and other veteran superstars because of salary problems, especially when encountering Kobe Bryant and Jordan, players who are dominant at both offensive and defensive ends, have been abused too many times in one-on-one, and have psychological resistance.
However, when he held back his anger and knew that he couldn't even do Liu Mang alone, wanted to organize the offense well, wanted to revitalize the team, and wanted to play with the team, when he found that it was difficult to organize the offense well, then the problem was big!
Glenn Robinson is very confident in himself, of course, this is due to his strength, he is already good, mainly talented, in the 2001 playoffs, he played well for a while, and Ray Allen, Cassel led the team to the Eastern Conference finals, and lost to Iverson's 76ers in the tie-break, proving that he is strong enough.
Glenn Robinson has always been very confident in himself, but after that peak, he didn't bother to play hard, scoring 20 points per game, maintaining people's impression of his All-Star ability, and getting a big contract.
But who knew that in the past two years, it has been thrown around by several teams, and finally thrown to the 76ers who are about to be messed up.
But he is very confident in himself, this year is to run to the 76ers to play a good year, lead the team to victory, get a big contract, it is better to steal Iverson's position.
In the first half of the first quarter, playing and playing, Glenn Robinson found himself forced to play alone, indeed he was still quite good in singles, and after playing a few rounds to adapt to Prince's single defense or Liu Mang and Rahim, his efficiency began to improve a little, and a large number of shots could always be hit.
But now Glenn Robinson really wants to organize the offense, but he can't organize the offense, he wants to block and dismantle, and the Hawks switch to an outside defense and force him to play alone, either he will attack with the ball or he will not receive the ball.
After being forced to make a strong throw and a steal by Liu Mang at the beginning, Glenn Robinson wanted to organize the offense well, but found that the organizational skills he once thought he had but were just unwilling to use were not as good as he imagined!
In the past, he had two All-Star level and offensive outside teammates in Kassel and Ray Allen, and the other party did not dare to focus on him defensively, to be honest, he was the weakest of the three musketeers of the Bucks, and the opposing team's outside defense was often not the best defender, so he could organize decently.
But this time he encountered three people on the Hawks' perimeter who targeted him, and his teammates were far inferior to Cassel and Ray Allen, and he organized the offense to catch them all.
Glenn Robinson's self-perception is that he is a superstar with a maximum salary, but everyone else can't get used to him, and after playing a game of time, he begins to doubt his life, and begins to doubt whether he is as good as he used to think he is.
After the first quarter, the Hawks played a single quarter score of 29-14, even if it wasn't when Glenn Robinson held the ball, the 76ers' offense was not bad, and all the Hawks were serious about offense and defense, and they were playing with all their might, and the 76ers who were rotten this year had no way to compete.
After the break, the Hawks sent a combination of Stockton, Jason Terry, Barnes, Boozer and Kwame Brown on their side.
On the 76ers' side, Glenn Robinson only played a quarter, scoring 5 points on 2-of-9 shooting, plus three turnovers and 1 assist, and began to doubt himself, but their head coach, Raindy Als, the interim head coach found from the University of Miami, still sent Glenn Robinson to lead the team, and then replaced him with a group of teammates who were even worse than when he started.
Reddy Als's task this year is bad, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance to become the head coach of the NBA, as for whether Glenn Robinson will be hit and lose confidence, Reddy Als doesn't care, Glenn Robinson is not part of the 76ers' plan in the first place, it's just an expiring contract.
After the start of the second quarter, Glenn Robinson regained his strength, and saw that the opponent was a substitute lineup, and Stockton, who was in his 40s, led the team, and felt that he could just make a wave.
Then it was met with Barnes' brutal defense.
Barnes was still young defensively, but he was rough, and although he paid several fouls, he was fouled three times by Glenn Robinson in more than half a time.
However, Barnes's rough movements also made Glenn Robinson irritable, when Glenn Robinson tried to endure the irritability, Liu Mang and Rahim were both replaced, Liu Mang, Barnes, Rahim, without the relatively "gentle" Prince, Glenn Robinson's life was even more difficult......
At halftime, the Hawks led by 22 points, 61-39, and the strength was overwhelming.
In order to put it bad this year, the 76ers have sold all the players who have the strength to sell it, and the rest of Snow and Aaron McGee are all big contract players who signed in the Finals that year, and they can't be sold, so they point to Iverson's injury this year, and then choose a core-level player, which is really not the opponent of the Hawks.
Liu Mang hit all 4 shots in the first half, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 free throws, scoring 12 points and 6 assists, one more point than Glenn Robinson, who threw 16 times in the half, and Glenn Robinson scored 10 points, 2 assists and 7 turnovers on 4-of-16 shooting.
The consensus of the Eagles' own players is right - you can't mess with anyone's own hooligans.
When Glenn Robinson's heart was about to collapse, Liu Mang added a fire.
At halftime, Glenn Robinson was just about to leave the court, Liu Mang walked past Glenn Robinson and whispered: "I envy my teammates, these were also your teammates, but now they are not." ”
At the beginning, Liu Mang and the counterattack in the offensive and defensive duel taunted Glenn Robinson, and Glenn Robinson didn't feel prickly, just angry, and more motivated to play hard.
But Liu Mang's words are really heartbreaking!
Liu Mang actually just wanted to stimulate Glenn Robinson again, but he didn't expect that when he walked to the player's tunnel after the stimulation, the system prompt came.
"Ding...... Glenn Robinson's revenge is complete, and the host is rewarded with 2000 Superstar Points. ”
