691. Ben Wallace can't help it (another nearly 7,000-word chapter, ask for a monthly pass!) )
This kind of thick and shameless timeout is not only too much for the Pistons players, but also a little "ashamed" for the Hawks players.
It's only been a minute, and the opponent scored two three-pointers, and immediately called a timeout to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, and the last one in the league to do this kind of thing was Popovich, and the previous one was the defensive coach Nelson Sr. who hadn't "gone crazy" before.
Liu Mang often did this kind of thing in the past two years, but this year he did less, but I didn't expect to do it again today.
But otherwise, the coaching staff and teammates really can't get used to it.
"Ace, is there any way to limit the opponent's three points?" Mike Woodson was the first to ask.
"Restrictions? Why the restrictions? Let them vote. Liu Mang squeezed his eyebrows and said.
"Let them vote? …… Haha, Ace, yes, let them vote! After the team was scored two three-pointers by the Pistons, Mike Woodson was quickly thinking about the coping strategy just now, and only reacted when he heard Liu Mang's words, why should he limit them to three points, it is better to let them shoot.
"What do you mean?" Coach Kruger squeezed the tactical board tightly in his hand and asked, if he was given a little time and two more rounds, he could see the dumb riddle played by Liu Mang and Mike Woodson, but he was an all-round coach after all, and he had a hand in tactical arrangement, mainly offensively, and the temporary first reaction on the defensive end had to rely on the assistant coach.
Liu Mang spread his hands and said, "I can keep shooting three points, can they?" ”
Seeing Liu Mang becoming more and more arrogant and shameless, Coach Kruger was already calm, since he had said that he had done this, and called a timeout, Coach Kruger helped Liu Mang arrange three-point tactics and called the players to draw together......
……
After the timeout, there was no change in the lineup of the two teams, and it was still the same ten people who played.
Billups is a little proud now, except for the first two times he and Liu Mang fought two years ago, since last season, when he played against Liu Mang, Liu Mang has never paid so much attention, and even did this kind of thing to interrupt their hand by calling a faceless pause at the beginning, which made Billups even more excited!
The Eagles continued to play in the backcourt, and Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and once again chose to accelerate after crossing the halfway.
It was Hamilton who defended up, the Pistons scored two three-pointers in a row, driven by Ben Wallace, morale soared, Hamilton defended more actively and clearer, did not startle again, but slowly moved sideways, and when Liu Mang approached the three-point line, he saw Liu Mang accelerating again, and then pressed towards Liu Mang.
As long as Liu Mang is forced to go to the side, this is the common practice of all teams in the league who have strong defensive breakthroughs, but some teams can do well, and some teams can't do well, and the Pistons just happen to be a very good team.
Just when Hamilton seized the best opportunity to move sideways and pressed towards Liu Mang, he was blocked!
Rashid Wallace came out to help Liu Mang block Hamilton according to the tactical arrangement!
Liu Mang directly went around the block and dismantled, and before Bosh pounced, he made a three-point shot to block and dismantle!
Quite focused and confident shot, Liu Mang's three-point shot went into the basket again!
6 to 6 draw!
"Than three points? Do you want to come back? ”
Liu Mang didn't even look at Hamilton who was defending, but shouted to Billups and Stephen Jackson, who happened to be on the same side, and as he spoke, he spread his hands between his arms and shrugged his shoulders, how arrogant and arrogant he was.
After finishing speaking, Liu Mang turned around and returned to defense.
Sometimes morale is high, and it brings not only positivity, but also blood, as the famous example is when Artest gave Harden an elbow when he put his head on his shoulder after Artest pulled the bar to his shoulder.
Billups and Stephen Jackson, who were already in a state of excitement because of Ben Wallace's morale, and during the timeout, Ben Wallace kept praising the two of them to make them more combative.
Now seeing Liu Mang's arrogant appearance, they have no fear or worry, they just want to do it!
Verbally, they can't argue with Liu Mang, who is averaging 3.3 three-pointers per game this season, a little more than Peja's 3.2 per game, and his shooting percentage is also top-notch, with a 37 percent three-point shooting percentage.
Liu Mang's average three-point shooting per game is almost catching up with their entire Pistons, and using words to fight back is not the strong point of Stephen Jackson and Billups, the former is good at using fists, and the latter is a stuffy gourd, and the two can only be regarded as funny behaviors by verbal counterattacks, especially since the other party is one of the most poisonous players in the entire NBA.
But the two of them are just not happy!
Billups has always been very confident in his ability, especially the three-point game, even if he almost broke the three-point contest record held by Jordan, but he is confident, if he hadn't maintained this confidence all the time, he would have been hit to the point of being reduced to an ordinary player in his continuous wandering career, and his three-point shooting average ranked 30th in the league also made him confident enough!
Stephen Jackson was abused by Liu Mang since he first entered the NBA, and he was very jealous of Liu Mang's strength to force him to break out that time, but now in this situation, Biao three points, and he doesn't need him to defend against Liu Mang, his self-confidence has also come up because of Ben Wallace's encouragement!
Just do it!
The Pistons attacked, Billups continued to press the rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt, to his surprise, it was not Prince who defended it, but Liu Mang!
This surprised and excited Billups, surprised because there is no doubt that Prince is the strongest outside defense of the Hawks, and no matter how good Liu Mang's defense is, it can't compare to the innate defensive advantage brought by Prince's excellent hardware conditions, so from this season onwards, the Hawks' first defensive choice on the outside has become Prince, which is something that other teams in the league know.
It's Liu Mang's turn to defend, Bilops obviously feels a lot less pressure, it is too difficult to shoot three points against Prince's defense, he is ready to block or pass to Stephen Jackson to play a single first, now the Pistons have the most advantage in singles, but Stephen Jackson vs. Rahim, as Liu Mang and Prince's defense is getting stronger and stronger, especially this season Prince's defense has become better because of the rules and the league environment, Raheem's greater role is reflected in the connection between inside and outside defense, Therefore, he is more tired of playing, which is also the reason why he has not played many scenes on the offensive end.
But beating Liu Mang, Billups felt that it was just right! It's hard steel!
Billups' self-confidence came because of the boost in morale! Moving his feet to find Liu Mang's defensive gaps.
Liu Mang saw that Billups did not break through, and he was overjoyed, if Billups did not enter the inside line, there was no way to form a connection with Hamilton, and it was of no special use to rely on Hamilton to run alone, and the other party was not a fool, watching Hamilton run out of position to receive the ball? When the ball carrier is stationed, the other defenders only need to cut off the ball carrier and other opponents' passing and receiving routes, and Billups must also break through to attract some of the defenses to disrupt the defense.
Now Billups is dribbling outside the three-point line, and he is in love with Liu Mang!
Liu Mang stared at Billups tightly, trying to judge Billups' next move.
But Billups is a fantastic player, who comes across as mature and steady, but when it comes to shooting, ...... How many waves there are!
Liu Mang was still trying to predict Billups' next move, Billups aimed at the basket and shot it directly!
Liu Mang didn't react, the ball had flown out of Billups's hand, and Billups felt really good today, continuing the feeling that Prince's defense could throw, the ball didn't touch the basket, and the hollow hit!
In one and a half minutes, the Pistons have scored 9 points!
This is an exaggeration for the Pistons' offense!
According to the scoring ability of the Pistons, they can score two points a minute, and it will be earth-shattering, although this season because of the introduction of Stephen Jackson and Bosh two scorers, although with Larry Brown, the offense is not worse than last season, because the single ability has become stronger, but it is only an average of just 90 points per game, and maybe it will fall below 90 points after a few consecutive low scores.
At such a start today, the Pistons fans were scared, and then the audience was all shouting
his Icephobia, his Ornithia, his Ace-Liu! The Pistons chanted Chauncey, and Billups excitedly stepped back quickly while spreading his hands to guide the cheers of the fans.
Big Ben is really troublesome, with Ben Wallace as a short center with top physical fitness, the Pistons retreat so fast that the opponent has a headache, Liu Mang didn't try to fight back, the Pistons' innate suppression of the run-and-bomb team is too strong, even stronger than the Spurs.
Liu Mang received the serve and slowly advanced, and it really felt like a hell of a game for Billups! He felt that he had been a wave enough, but now that he was competing with this guy, he was actually fighting so honestly! At least I have to think about creating a gap to get another three points, and this guy just took the ball and did it!
Be more careful! Although Billups or Stephen Jackson started to shoot regardless of the defensive strategy on their side, if they did shoot and kept throwing, it would not be a defensive tactic, but self-inflicted!
However, this is a painful period of tactical success!
The next more critical thing for Liu Mang is to throw the ball in! Continuing this kind of star-to-star matchup, which is the link that the Pistons should not have been in the first place.
As soon as Liu Mang started to advance, he heard Larry Brown in front of the technical table next to him spraying wildly at the Pistons players on the court, telling them to defend well.
"The stubborn old man." Liu Mang sneered, this guy is really the kind of master who doesn't care if he plays well or badly on the offensive end, as long as he doesn't defend well, he will curse.
This also just gave Liu Mang the opportunity to plan this time to break the fighting spirit of the Pistons team! Because no matter how hard Billups is, Larry Brown has never said that Billups is bad, even if Billups' overall shooting percentage is only more than 30 percent, but as long as the defense is not good, he will spray wildly.
After halftime, Liu Mang immediately concentrated, and the Pistons players were scolded by Larry Brown, and the originally high morale became even higher because Billups hit a three-pointer again, and the defense became more active!
Liu Mang came to the top arc, and Hamilton immediately pasted it.
If it was to break through, Hamilton would definitely not be able to stop it, but now Liu Mang wants three points!
Liu Mang continued to find Rashid Wallace to block and dismantle, Rashid Wallace came over to block Hamilton, Liu Mang just moved sideways through the two of them with Rasheed Wallace's block, Bosh, the skinny and tall poor version of Garnett, blocked out, and the defensive end became extremely aggressive! The difference between Bosh and Liu Mang's impression of him is that his defense is more active and better than that of him who originally grew up in the Raptors, and sure enough, the environment will make a huge change for a person!
Bosh blocked Liu Mang for a moment, and Hamilton had been
Can this be prevented?
At the moment when Rasheed Wallace hadn't cut inside, Liu Mang saw Hamilton coming around, and immediately kicked with his right foot, changed direction and jumped back towards the top arc just now! Rashid Wallace didn't have time to cut in the air, and was once again used by Liu Mang as a pile for blocking and demolition, and the same person's blocking and demolition in a row!
At the same time, Liu Mang grabbed the ball in his hand, got the left waist, and after falling to the top arc, he jumped again and threw a sniper!
Bosh's defensive enthusiasm exceeded Liu Mang's expectations! Squeezed away Rashid Wallace pounced and crashed into Liu Mang!
Liu Mang lost his balance in the air, and the ball hadn't been thrown out yet! The referee became very cautious because of the relationship between the two sides of this game, and the whistle sounded immediately when he saw this kind of action, and Liu Mang lost his balance in the air, thanks to the strength growth brought by the strength training and strength fruit in the past two years, plus the progress of Tie Shan's kung fu and the like, in the case of losing balance, the core strength tried to keep throwing the ball to the basket as much as possible.
"Bang ......"
Liu Mang fell miserably to the ground, this time it hurt so much!
However, after the ball left Liu Mang's hand, it flew out and bounced into the basket on the rebound!
3+1!
"Ding...... The host's waist muscle bruises require 9 primary injury potions to heal, and rapid healing requires 3000 Giant Star ......"
"Use!"
Liu Mang chose to use it without hesitation, this time it is not the time to play the return of the king, the morale of the other party is high, if he leaves the field, the team's three points are likely to be unbearable!
Liu Mang definitely didn't come to a wave of "toughness" because he scored a three-point shot and had a chance to 3+1, absolutely not!
The Eagles players were frightened, and Bosh was also frightened, just now he wanted to prevent Liu Mang, but he didn't expect to keep up, worthy of being called Little Garnett's physical fitness, but he didn't expect his movements to be so big, it was not intentional at all.
The pain in his waist disappeared all of a sudden, and Liu Mang jumped up from the ground with a carp before his teammates came over, but he didn't expect that the strength of the elbow joint of the iron elbow gong could still be handsome from this aspect, Liu Mang felt that he had earned it.
I have to say that this action is really good-looking, and just now everyone thought that Liu Mang must have fallen badly enough, and he had been knocked parallel to the ground, even if it was a away team player, and it was a away team player who had become an old enemy, some of the fans at the scene were so frightened that they closed their eyes and said loudly, "NO." ”
But seeing Liu Mang jumping up directly, he didn't clash with Bosh, nor did he collapse on the ground and wanted a malicious foul or something, but went directly to high-five his teammates to celebrate the three-point, such Liu Mang ...... Even the Pistons fans couldn't help but give a sparse applause, of course, more fans just breathed a sigh of relief and did not praise Liu Mang for this.
Bosh saw Liu Mang standing up like a nobody, but he still blamed himself, and went up and said, "Boss Ace, I didn't mean it!" ”
Liu Mang looked at the rookie Dragon King...... No, it should be called the ...... of the future The Living King? Or the King of Cyprus? Or the King of Steel? It's not very good, anyway, it's Bosh, the long-necked dragon, seeing Bosh's self-blaming look, Liu Mang was originally very angry, this guy was too big, just because he didn't want to make trouble at the end of the season in that kind of thing that might affect the record, so he didn't go to see Bosh, for fear that he couldn't help but make a fight again.
Seeing Bosh blaming himself so much, Liu Mang's fire also disappeared, and he replied casually: "It's okay, it's a good defense, I almost didn't throw it in, it's just a little bit, you have to work hard." ”
Liu Mang finished speaking and walked to the free throw line.
Hearing Liu Mang's words, it was not Bosh who was angry, Bosh didn't dare to offend Liu Mang, he was relieved that Liu Mang forgave him.
It's the rest of the Pistons who are angry!
It's so arrogant!
The most angry thing is that this guy really has capital arrogance, just now this three plus one, it's amazing!
Liu Mang walked to the free throw line and hit a free throw, scoring three three-pointers and one free throw! Liu Mang scored 10 points in a row at the beginning!
When it came to the Pistons' offense again, Billups once again pressed the rhythm and pushed in, and then he dribbled and dribbled, aiming at the basket as he dribbled, ready to shoot at any time.
Liu Mang didn't have any carelessness this time, he kept standing up to Billups's hand movements, Billups didn't care if he wanted to pass or break through, he only needed to prevent Billups from three points.
With eight seconds left, Billups stood up to Liu Mang's defense and confidently shot three points again!
"Ding...... Blocker triggers at level 5 from the host ......"
This time Liu Mang reacted in a timely manner, predicted Billups's movements, and at the moment Billups jumped up, he immediately pounced, his height and arm span Liu Mang were better than Billups, and the bounce was much better than Billups, Billups didn't expect that he would react to the other party, and had to lean back sharply, and the movements were the same as his first three-pointer.
But this time the luck was not so good, the ball was thrown out and broke! Ratlif played against Ben Wallace, the two were comparable in terms of static power, both cared about pushing each other, and there was no extra energy to grab rebounds, and the rebounds could only fall on others, so that the rebounding advantage on the Hawks' side was huge, and Rashid Wallace had a big hand and blocked Bosh and Stephen Jackson who rushed in, and Raheem and Stephen Jackson rushed in together to easily collect the defensive rebound.
The Pistons immediately chose to retreat the moment their own people were completely blocked, Raheem just got the rebound, Ben Wallace had already retreated to the free throw line and was about to exit the three-point line, and the defense was quite active.
This ridiculously slow pace is really unpleasant!
Fortunately, the Hawks have played a lot of games with the Pistons and Spurs, and they are used to it.
Liu Mang continued to receive the ball and steadily advanced to the frontcourt.
Hamilton is about to explode on the spot, how can this guy be more ferocious every time! Liu Mang's 3+1 just now, the most frightened thing was except for Bosh, it was him, another flanker, who could be thrown in that way, it was too exaggerated!
In addition to Billups played an iron, which made the morale of the Pistons decline to a certain extent, plus Liu Mang's 3+1 suppressed the rise of their morale, and now the feeling of slight panic, others are fine, but Hamilton, who faced Liu Mang, began to be beaten again!
This time, Liu Mang did not start to accelerate from the middle line, and slowly approached the three-point line.
Hamilton watched Liu Mang slowly approach, and every time Liu Mang took a step, the more pressure he felt in his heart, and he felt that his mentality was about to collapse! It's only been a long time, and Hamilton feels like his palm is already wet! Quickly wipe it on your pants.
Liu Mang, who was outside the three-point line just now, found that Hamilton was distracted, and directly pulled it up and pulled out a three-point shot!
Like Billups, Liu Mang also threw himself into hi and made waves!
Hamilton was distracted for a moment, and when he reacted and pounced, it was too late, Liu Mang had already jumped completely, and when he pounced, the ball slid past his fingertips and fell into the basket again!
Four three-pointers in a row!
Liu Mang scored 13 points in a row in the opening game!
After this goal, Liu Mang did not provoke, turned around on the ground and ran to the backcourt, and in the process of running back, his left hand was raised to compare a "4", which is very obvious.
In the eyes of the Pistons players, especially Billups and Stephen Jackson, this is more important than saying that he has made four three-pointers, and is demonstrating against them!
And it's the kind of demonstration that has already "disdained" words!
Billups angrily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Larry Brown began to curse again, allowing the players to wrap up Liu Mang, which made Billups even more upset and lost his cool.
Liu Mang's side wished that the Pistons would start to wrap up, and secretly praised Larry Brown's words.
Continue to defend Billups, Billups can score three or four threes a game, he is considered stable because he gets about the same number of points every game, every game has three points, but he doesn't shoot much, and the number of iron hits is also very stable.
Under Liu Mang's focused defense, Billups, who was not good at offense and relied on his teammates to defend to wipe his ass, hit the iron again, the Hawks guarded the defensive rebounds, and the Pistons did not fight for offensive rebounds, the coach had lost his temper, they retreated as quickly as possible, and the Hawks did not fight back, and continued to play steadily, already with a 4-point lead!
The offense and defense switched, the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and just outside the three-point line, it was obvious that Billups was ready to let go of Prince's shrinking posture.
Liu Mang quietly continued to block and dismantle with Rashid Wallace, and then made a step-back jumper, Billups really immediately sandwiched over, Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace attracted the defense of Billups, Hamilton, and Bosh in the top arc, Prince cut in just the right amount of space, Liu Mang threw the ball to the route where Prince rushed into the left side, Prince received the ball in the middle of the march, entered the basket, stretched out his long arm, and threw his hand......
"Smack"
Ben Wallace's super defense under the basket forced Rutliff to squeeze out of Ratliff and came over and gave Prince a big hat!
Worthy of Ben Wallace, the ability to block under the basket is too strong! One of his Big Ben realm level 5 traits, the Guardian under the Basket ability, paired with his Fondue Feast level 5, gives the empty cut Prince a big hat!
However, at this time, Rahim was stunned to grab the ball before Stephen Jackson and cut into the basket again, Ben Wallace actively blocked it again, perfectly blocked in front of Rahim, Raheem couldn't rush in, and threw the ball directly into the air, Ben Wallace turned his head to look, and Ratliff behind him jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket!
Rao Ben Wallace can't help it no matter how strong his defense is! He has tried his best to prevent it, but one defense and three can block two, and the third one really can't stop it!
"Hurry up and throw one, I'll wait for you, don't make me wait too long." Liu Mang looked at Billups who was attached to him and said with a smile, and then continued to defend himself.
If heartbreak can make a sound, then the sound of Billups' mindset exploding to lose his mind can be heard throughout the noisy stadium!
It doesn't matter so much, Billups pushes to the frontcourt, he can't come, he has to take it slowly, he throws the ball to Stephen Jackson, Stephen Jackson can't wait! 8)
