"System, look at Billups' stats."

"Ding...... Chauncey Billups, 71 ability, 73 three-pointers, 67 mid-range shooting, 71 layups, 86 speed, 82 power...... Discover the Totem Skill: Perseverance. Characteristic: Drifting. ”

"Perseverance: Years of wandering have cultivated the quality of perseverance, no matter what crisis arises, and will not give up in the face of any strong opponent. The tenacious character makes it have the ability to control like a coach on the field, and the calm and calm ability to control the field can resist all strong opponents, and the feeling at critical moments has been greatly improved. ”

"Exile: Good at finding loopholes on the field, often making different ball-control behaviors from coaches and star players, but his own ability is not outstanding, his excellent field control ability makes every team want him, but he has to give up because it is difficult to control, if there is no suitable team, he will eventually be traded, and his career will be upside down."

Billups actually has the ability to control the field that can compete with Garnett's double buff!

Although the comprehensive attributes are not high, it may not have reached its peak, and it will be directly prompted at the peak, but even if the current Billups, if it is put in the hands of the three old monsters of Popovich, Pat Riley, and Larry Bird, good guys...... Can you control Iverson?

However, as far as the current Billups is concerned, Liu Mang is not false, especially Billups's calm field control ability is offset by Garnett's high indiscriminate attack buff with aggression.

That is to fight strength!

Liu Mang now triggers the bench bandits also has an ability value of 70, which is half a pound and eight taels with Billups, and Billups's personal offensive ability is indeed in an average state, and Liu Mang's pressure is much less.

It's not just Liu Mang, when the Timberwolves' ball-handling player became Billups, everyone in the Hawks felt less pressure, and their fighting spirit suddenly recovered.

Billups is very strong, explosive or something, but he is strong, and he pressed towards Liu Mang and wanted to use his body to advance.

And Liu Mang stepped back directly, just not to make physical contact.

Who doesn't know that you're not in a good name?

Before practicing a good shot in the summer of 03, Billups was a rare and good scoring method is to make fouls, 02-03 season East finals, the Nets swept the Pistons 4-0, Billups achieved the name of Kidd's defensive giant, four games Billups was guarded by Kidd with a shooting rate of more than 20 percent, and in the fourth game Billups was directly prevented from 1 of 8 in the half, and he didn't dare to shoot in the second half.

Don't play according to the routine! It's the first time Billups has encountered someone who has chosen so decisively defensively, so he has to see if his opponent is shooting accurately today!

Billups withdrew from outside the three-point line, and if he shot in the open position, his free throw line distance and three-point shooting were the most accurate, and Liu Mang immediately posted it back.

Billups entered, Liu Mang retreated, Billups retreated, Liu Mang clung closely, Billups really didn't know how to play this ball!

His teammates were also in a different position than he thought, Garnett, Szzczebiak, Joe Smith, none of the three were under the basket, standing at their respective shooting points and not moving.

Rahim, Ratliff, and Muhammad were huddled on the edge of the three-second zone to grab rebounds, and they were not afraid of the Timberwolves' frontcourt three-pitcher who was a beep in the first half of the quarter.

At this time, Garnett saw that the time was good, and reached for the ball to make a breakthrough, but Billups felt that he should make an outside shot at this time to let the opposing defense stretch out.

Billups is the kind of guy who does it on his own, and what he needs is a team that completely trusts him, and this time he deceived Liu Mang into taking a step back and then retracting his feet, pulling out a three-point shot!

The choice was good, but it didn't go in!

Liu Mang saw the arc of Billups's shot and knew that the ball was crooked! Straight to the front! Sure enough, Muhammad grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately made a long pass.

After rushing to the opponent's basket, Liu Mang found that Garnett had caught up!

This long-legged monster!

Billups also defended quickly, closely following Garnett, Liu Mang returned the top arc, at this time, even if Garnett was shaken off, Billups behind him also followed.

Jason Terry, who followed up, finally got a perfect shot and hit a three-point shot!

15 to 9! The Eagles stretched the margin to more than 5 points!

"This rookie! It's even more troublesome than Kobe Bryant's bastard said! Garnett seems to have a hot temper, but in fact he is extremely calm inside, everything is just to provoke his opponent, in fact, it is extremely difficult to see him really fighting with his opponent! Every time, he provoked the opponent to make a move, and the opponent was so provoked that he was punished by the referee.

Immediate results! Liu Mang came up and had an immediate effect, which reminded Garnett of a legendary sixth man of the Green Shirts - Bill Wharton!

The historic geographer who came up and could open up the situation for the team.

The Timberwolves attacked, Billups pushed in, and Garnett came to the three-point line again to ask for the ball.

Garnett couldn't understand a little, when Billups led the second team alone, he was quite good, and his shooting was quite accurate when he wanted to kill, but when the two of them played on the court together, they felt uncomfortable.

Billups's stability and Garnett's radicalism are completely incompatible!

Garnett held the ball, the others stalled again, Billups couldn't play without the ball in his hand, and the others didn't have the ability to attack independently, because Garnett's outside shooting performance was not so good in the first half, Muhammad shrunk in, and Garnett chose to burst again!

Muhammad stepped back in succession and stayed under the basket with Ratliff, Garnett burst into the free throw line to make a pull-up jumper, Rahim flew over to block it! Muhammad duly moved to Garnett and Szzerbiak's passing lane, and Garnett could only pass to Joe Smith, who shot in the middle!

Still missed!

"Back to the defense!"

Garnett roared, the Timberwolves player's defensive efficiency improved significantly, Raheem grabbed the rebound and threw it to Liu Mang, and when Liu Mang pushed back to counterattack, the opponent had retreated synchronously.

Positioned? Hit the articulation segment?

Liu Mang made a decision in an instant and moved forward quickly!

After the fourth level of the ball control master, Liu Mang felt that the speed of advancement was a little faster, closer to the speed when he ran without the ball, and the Eagles as a whole followed Liu Mang's rhythm, and Jason Terry also followed quickly.

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, Billups came up to block Liu Mang, Liu Mang dribbled under his crotch and pulled horizontally, Billups was directly shaken away, Liu Mang burst into the inside, and turned his head to look at Jason Terry.

This glance deceived Garnett, who was supposed to help defend, especially when Liu Mang jumped up and put the ball away when he ran over the free throw line on the right side of the basket, and Garnett ran to the top arc to prevent Jason Terry from receiving the ball.

With Joe Smith under the basket and Billups behind him, Garnett is still very confident in the defense of Billups and Joe Smith in terms of Liu Mang's ability to make layups.

At this moment, the ball that Liu Mang put away in his right hand was thrown to the basket!

At this time, Liu Mang's right leg was still moving forward, which was basically an ergonomic shooting action, and the Timberwolves didn't expect it at all!

"Bang... Whew"

Liu Mang throws the board from close range and hits!

"Whew...... It's dangerous. ”

Liu Mang felt that this ball was a little lucky, although the skills were there, and the movements were very smooth, but the accuracy still needed training, and he actually didn't want to play the board just now...... However, this gave him a direction, and generally speaking, the shooting rate of practicing board layups is relatively higher than that of direct layups!

The Timberwolves call a timeout!

The wrinkles on Coach Philip Saunders' face are about to crumple into chrysanthemums.

The whole team felt really bad today!

In other words, since the whole of January, the Timberwolves have been in average condition, just looking at the record, it is almost the same as the supersound, and the key is that they directly lost to the supersound.

Coach Sanders is a good coach, cultivating rookies, using instant combat power is very powerful, Garnett is what he cultivated, the future Pistons have reached the Eastern Conference finals for six consecutive years, if Carlisle and Larry Brown still rely on the Pistons Five Tigers, then Coach Sanders was basically a mess when he took over the Pistons, Ben Wallace degraded and was traded, and the state of others declined to varying degrees, but he still let the Pistons maintain the strength of the top two in the East.

The Timberwolves' current lineup is really unsatisfactory, Szzerbiak can't dribble or run at the No. 2 position, and the impact at the No. 3 position is insufficient, as can be seen from his average score of 189 points per game with only a few free throws, and Billups' free throws are close to 5.

Szzzerbiak is basically a receiver of Garnett's pass-and-shoot role, and of course, his near-180 club shooting percentage is perfect except for free throws, and he needs to do more, such as hitting hard to open up the situation...... He can't even beat Jason Terry.

And Joe Smith, Coach Sanders didn't understand the management's thoughts, just because this thing actually caused the loss of the 5-year draft pick?

There are no inside singles, rebounding is poor, and as a center, he only has 6 rebounds in nearly 30 minutes per game, not even a card position, no passing, and the highest one-year assist count is 1.6. Only defense is okay, but it is equal to a weakened version of Garnett, who is good at supplementing defense rather than defending under the basket.

"Kevin, Chauncey, you slow down, Mark, you replace Joe, pay attention to the card position, Anthony and Wally, you have to be decisive in receiving the ball and shooting, don't hesitate because you can't shoot, you have a chance to shoot quickly!" Coach Sanders can only do this, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice! Although there is one less Piston's five tigers in the future, there are still four, and the defense can't afford to play a balanced offense and defense, this Timberwolves are really useless! There are only three points of possession, and one is still discussing retirement with the management.

I can only slow down! Although it will lose Garnett's fast-paced offensive and defensive switching ability, it will not allow the Eagles to run, and the Eagles' cavalry tactics have made all opponents in the league feel the rise of a new force.

On the Hawks' side, Coach Kruger is now more and more experienced, and understands that the opponent should slow down, if he can, he also wants to slow down the rhythm and hit the opponent by surprise, but it is time for Ratliff to rest, and the team has no other big center with the ability to defend the basket, so he can't play according to what he wants, and it is helpless to send a small lineup.

Sometimes it's really not all about the coach, it's just that the team doesn't have enough lineups, otherwise you can go further.

After the timeout, the two teams began to compete in the rhythm.

The Eagles replaced Ratliffe with Newbell.

The Timberwolves fielded Billups, Peeler, Szczebiak, Garnett, Mark Jackson.

The Hawks wanted to pick up the pace, but the Timberwolves pressed the pace and fell into a scorched state.

Both teams played resolutely, with the Timberwolves shooting resolutely and retreating.

Although Mark Jackson, a two-meter-one-0 big center, is tall, but has good physical fitness, he was a second-round rookie in 1997 and only entered the NBA in 2000.

The success rate of both teams in the first quarter was not high, the Timberwolves shot decisively from the outside but the shooting rate was not good, and the Hawks counterattacked but the Timberwolves defended quickly, and the success rate was not high.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks led by eight points at 23-15.

Throughout the first half, the two teams competed in the rhythm, and there was also the aura of the Timberwolves' own team, so the Hawks maintained their advantage until the end of the first half.

Sometimes it's enough for a team to have one that can control the tempo, and if it's more than two, if it's not a good fit, like Billups plus Ben Wallace, or James plus Wade, Rondo plus Garnett, Nash plus Smalls, then it's about the same as Nash plus Howard, it's a great system to separate, and it's all over when you put it together.

At halftime, the Hawks led by six points, 44-38.

……

……

The managers of both teams have a headache and the players have a headache as well.

On the Timberwolves' side, the other party has to speed up, and they have to slow down.

The Eagles are very slowed down by the other side, and their side has to speed up.

This kind of rhythm is more physically demanding than running up and playing, or simply landing in position, because the rhythm is completely different at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

The Timberwolves play very slowly offensively, and when they defend, they have to run, and the Hawks have to grind with each other when they defend, and then they have to play offense and defense immediately.

After halftime, I was more tired than usual for three quarters!

The coach is still just having a headache, how to solve the problem that he can't open the score difference, and is bitten by the opponent, or the opponent can't pull the score difference, and he looks like he has a chance but can't catch up.

The players are even more miserable, the coach just moves his mouth, and he has to play with his life.

This is an opponent of equal strength, and it is very tiring to fight!

Finally, both coaches figured it out.

Isn't it just a regular season, just play according to yourself!

Coach Sanders, who made the decision, also saw that Billups and Garnett didn't get along very well, and although both were accommodating to each other on the field, it hurt the team even more.

"Kevin, you take control, Chauncy you rest first." Yes, Coach Sanders has amplified the move! Garnett plays point guard!

Billups feels like he's been hit hard! Shouldn't this anxious situation be that the main players go up to fight together, but they are put on the bench, and a feeling that has been felt for many years has come again......

……

On the Hawks' side, compared to Coach Sanders's selection problem, Coach Kruger's problem is actually relatively easy, which is nothing more than the choice of landing and playing fast attack.

Ratliff can only play 289 minutes a game, this is the key, nothing else.

"Ace, we have to fight the position, you go up and fight the main block! Of course, you think it's okay if you want to fight back. "Coach Kruger's decision after figuring it out is very simple, dump the pot Dafa.

Liu Mang looked at the increasingly unscrupulous coach and nodded heavily.
