538. Defensive, Clashing, Ruthless!

It was just a three-pointer, and Kidd immediately regarded Liu Mang as the most difficult point to deal with.

Kidd is very sure that Liu Mang is the key to the Eagles' victory, Jason Terry, Raheem, and Muhammad are the basis for ensuring the Eagles' lower ceiling, and Liu Mang is the one who raises the ceiling.

Seeing that Raheem was always used as a containment point at the beginning, Kidd's choice was very decisive, he changed his defensive strategy, and Liu Mang pressed up towards Liu Mang after advancing over!

Seeing Kidd's defensive changes, the Nets' defense was very tacit and began to concentrate on the middle.

Raheem came up to block Liu Mang, Liu Mang cut to the three-point line after getting rid of Kidd, and wanted to pass to Rahim to cut inside, just passed out, was touched by Richard Jefferson, and the ball flew out of bounds.

The high block was predicted!

Fortunately, it was not stealed.

The ball went out of bounds, the Eagles made a substitution, Jason Terry replaced Prince, Boozer replaced Mohammed, and the Eagles stepped up their offense.

When Kittels' impact dropped sharply and he focused on outside shooting, Jason Terry was barely able to handle this defense, and after Prince missed a three-point shot at the beginning, the Nets contraction became significantly more decisive, unlike Liu Mang, who was a big threat even if he didn't score, and the other party chose to let him go decisively after Prince didn't score, Coach Kruger, who was on the sidelines just now, clearly saw that Kittels was ready to shrink in and wrap up when Rahim cut in.

Prince was still too tender, and in addition to hitting a shot at the beginning of this big game, it was basically equal to an invisible man, and the defense was also shot by Kittels with two threes.

Eagles sideline ball.

The person who served was Liu Mang, the Nets defended the serve very tightly, constantly going around the front, a lot of physical confrontation, Kenyon Martin blocked in front of Liu Mang, Kidd went to follow Jason Terry, Ratliff came up to Jason Terry to block Kidd, and failed to create a gap for Jason Terry, Kidd predicted it in advance, and went around directly to grab Jason Terry's clothes, Rao is Ratrick's wide body can't stop it, and the Hawks have no good chance to catch the ball!

At this time, Liu Mang saw the open area that the Nets appeared because of the front middle, and the idea came, and he whistled and glanced at the basket, Raheem immediately understood, ran towards the basket, and squeezed Richard Jefferson away unimpeded.

This scene was discovered by the Nets players, Kenyon Martin, who was blocking Liu Mang's service route and vision in front of Liu Mang, kept jumping in front of Liu Mang, and Mutombo also stood up in front of Rahim, at this time Liu Mang had already thrown the ball towards the basket!

Seeing Raheem caught between Mutombo and Richard Jefferson and unable to get in, the fans at the scene were ecstatic, is this about to make a mistake?

Just as the Nets players rushed in to grab the ball, the head of a man who looked like a bandit came out from behind Mutombo and stretched out his hand to press the falling ball into the basket!

Rahim is just a front! Rely on Raheem to attract Mutombo out, Boozer's empty catch!

The Nets players didn't expect that in these short seconds, Liu Mang would be able to play such a beautiful serve without calling a timeout! And it worked so well that it completely deceived the Nets players! Looking at Liu Mang and Rahim's whistles and eyes, how can you think that the real scoring point is another person! Watching Boozer and Liu Mang high-five back to defense, the Nets felt the pressure from the Hawks.

9-13, the difference is back to within five points!

In fact...... Even Rahim didn't think that he was just a pretense, he was deceived again, or he was deceived by his teammates, and Rahim was so hurt...... Wait, a question popped up in Rahim's head, why again? When did you ever be deceived by your teammates...... Belch...... It seems to be more than once.

Forget it, just get used to it, grab rebounds and win! It's all about winning! Raheem's self-regulation ability is good after playing for so many years on the bad team.

Liu Mang returned to the backcourt, he was not sure about the ball just now, if it was Muhammad on the field, Liu Mang might call a timeout, although Muhammad was positive, but the offensive end of the ball quotient was very average, and the tacit understanding between Boozer and Liu Mang could judge that the ball was given to him.

The Nets attacked, the Nets experienced 13 points in a row in the first 4 minutes, the offensive efficiency came down and returned to normal, Kenyon Martin and Kidd ran to the basket after blocking and dismantling the layup was interfered with by Ratliff and slipped out of the basket, Mutombo's rebounding protection ability is really not good, Boozer chased Kenyon Martin back, and when Rutliff went to interfere with Kenyon Martin's rebounding position, Boozer rushed inside to grab the defensive rebound on Mutombo's head!

The Eagles defended twice in a row!

The Eagles fight back!

Finally, with the Nets now in a chaotic position, the Hawks have a chance to fight back!

Liu Mang rushed forward, Kidd and Kittels struck towards Liu Mang, not giving Liu Mang a chance to catch the ball, Boozer really has the psychological quality of a star, did not pass to Liu Mang regardless of it, but passed the ball to Jason Terry very calmly, Jason Terry received the ball and advanced to the front court, stopped at the free throw line, and shot at Richard Jefferson who pounced!

Richard Jefferson's ferocious chase knocked Jason Terry to the ground, but Jason Terry had already thrown the ball out! At the same time as the referee's whistle, the ball plunged into the basket!

Jet sortie!

Jason Terry just came up from the bench and, like Boozer, played a key role when he came up, not scoring to throw the ball in, and causing a foul on Richard Jefferson!

In the seventh minute, the Eagles finally had a chance to narrow the gap to 1 point! In the past three minutes, the Nets have not scored a point!

At 11-13, Jason Terry had one more free throw, which could well narrow the gap to 1 point! The Nets' fierce performance at the beginning was caught up by the Hawks without interference, decisively playing in accordance with the established tactics, and making timely and correct substitutions!

Coach Byron Scott couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout!

Coach Byron Scott's head exploded, it came too suddenly! He is also bitter in his heart! The talent of the Nets is too much worse than that of the Hawks, the Nets are theoretically a little stronger than the Hawks, but the strength of the Nets is equal to the strength of Kidd, without Kidd, even if there is an All-Star like Marbury, they are the level of the top pick, and Kidd's arrival is the only reason why the Nets can directly improve from the level of the top pick to the overall runner-up level.

The Nets don't have a first-class star except for Kidd, and Kenyon Martin has an 84 ability evaluation by Kidd's side, and he still relies on Kidd to organize offense to have such a performance.

Fortunately, there are basically no first-class stars in the Nets, there are many high-quality role players, Coach Scott waved his hand and replaced Richard Jefferson with Rodney Rodgers, Richard Jefferson performed too poorly today, and when he met Rahim, he also played a counterattack on the offensive end, and the defensive end was squeezed away by Rahim, which caused the Nets to be forced to wrap up and lose points several times, this time he still pounced on it when he obviously couldn't interfere before Jason Terry threw the ball, and was fouled, Even if Jason Terry hadn't made it, there would have been two free throws.

Richard Jefferson is too young, although he has made rapid progress, but before the technology is mature, he is still playing by his body, and the future Nets Three Musketeers period, Spurs Richard Jefferson is too far away, in the future he is an all-round small forward with a three-point shooting rate of forty percent, and now the shooting is basically equal to nothing, he played 80 games in the regular season and made 7 three-pointers, with a shooting rate of 20 percent, and the scoring all depends on attacking the basket, all opened from his point, and the Nets' defense collapsed many times because of his point.

In addition to Richard Jefferson, Mutombo was also replaced, Mutombo had a highlight in the sixth game of the last round, and now it has withered again, on the one hand, because the Nets are not centered on the center, and the defensive system is not centered on Mutombo, but Kidd, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin as the defensive core combination, on the other hand, Mutombo has indeed declined too seriously, and it can be seen in more than half a quarter, the card position can't squeeze Ratliff, and it relies on the former defensive deterrence to scare people, and the reaction is not as good as before, It's really old.

As for Kittels...... is "terrible" to be stable, it's not that he doesn't work hard, but because of interest, he hasn't improved since he was suspended, he is indeed very dedicated and hard-working, but he scores thirteen or fourteen points per game, three or four rebounds, two or three assists, and he is already up to the sky, of course, his salary of eight or nine million is already worth the money.

The Nets still only rely on Kidd, who plays 43 minutes per game, but fortunately, Kenyon Martin has improved a lot this year and can share a lot of pressure.

Now that it's the official timeout, Byron Scott made a small prediction that the Hawks were going to change to a lineup without a center, so they put Kenyon Martin in the center position, Aaron Williams and Kenyon Martin on the inside, Kidd and Rousios Harris on the guard line, and Rodney Rodgers on small forward.

……

The Hawks bench, as expected by Coach Byron Scott, replaced Ratliff on the Hawks' side, to say why Latliff can't become a historic defensive center, or is physically limited, and the physical performance of defensive pillars like Mutombo and Ben Wallace is too far from the physical performance of young people.

Of course, this made Ratliff's defensive stats per 48 minutes in his prime sky-high, averaging 3.9 blocks per game in 31 minutes last season and 3.7 blocks per game in 27 minutes this year, which is much higher than Mutombo and Ben Wallace per 48 minutes.

But Ratliffe doesn't have the physical fitness of the duo when they were younger, with Ben Wallace averaging 39 minutes per game this year, compared to 36 minutes per game for Mutombo, who described himself as 36 last season.

In the case of being able to play, with the Hawks having a great defensive assistant coach like Mike Woodson to build a great defensive system, Ratliff is not much worse than Ben Wallace and Mutombo at their peak, but he can only hold on for more than 20 minutes, which is the difference between a strong defender and a great defender.

Boozer mentioned the center, Raheem went to power forward, Liu Mang and Jason Terry partnered the guard line, this arrangement is normal, Raheem has improved a lot in the playoffs, from an average of 35 minutes per game in the regular season in the first two rounds to 38 minutes, and it is normal to improve a little more in the Eastern Conference finals, and in the first half of the first quarter, Raheem is not tired.

But another candidate in the striker position, even the guy who was replaced didn't expect that he would play at this time!

Matt Barnes!

Coach Krueger replaced Barnes, who had only played more than 30 games in the regular season!

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Raheem, Boozer lineup changed!

……

The official timeout is coming to an end, the cheerleading performances are leaving, and the players from both teams have come to the technical table to touch the magnesium powder or something again.

Seeing Rodney Rodgers coming up, Liu Mang sighed very much, sometimes changing a team can really change a person's life.

When he was in the Suns before, Rodney Rodgers played well, and when he arrived at the Celtics last year, he immediately collapsed and became the Celtics' most failed robbery.

But coming to the Nets this year, hey, I don't know if the Celtics and Rodney Rodgers don't get along, or if Kidd can take off with whoever he plays, after going through the adaptation period in the middle of the season, Rodney Rodgers played quite well in the second half of the season, from an average of 6 points per game at the beginning of the season to 11 points at the end of the season, if it wasn't for the poor play in the early stage, it would be another opponent for Liu Mang to get the best sixth man, Liu Mang and Bobby Jackson competed for the two, and they could have a slight advantage, if the three of them grabbed together, Liu Mang, who just won the best sixth man last year, really doesn't necessarily win the best sixth man.

The reason why the Nets spent most of the season regaining the feeling for Rodney Rogers is that they want Rodney Rodgers' Kittels' seriously degraded ability this year - ball-handling singles!

After Kittels degenerated into a shooter and Richard Jefferson grew up, the Nets were too lacking in offensive points with the ball, and the offense was all team offense, and if the pitcher and the open cutter really couldn't shoot, there was no one to open up the situation.

After Rodney Rodgers came to the Nets, he finally had the ball! When he was sent to the Nets with 1 million US dollars upside down, Rodney Rodgers was so excited that he was going crazy, he originally thought that he would have no team to ask for it after the Celtics finished with a 3.8 million contract in the last year, after all, he played too badly, but he didn't expect the Nets to come! He was the sixth man of the year at the peak of his career when Kidd was still with the Suns.

Sure enough, after coming to the Nets, his old partner Kidd gave him enough respect and trust, and patiently waited for him to regain his feelings, and now he has a feeling of dreaming back to 29 years old, and his 32-year-old age is not too old for his skill stream, and he played at the level of the year in the second half of the season.

The Nets sent Rodney Rodgers, and Liu Mang knew that the Nets were going to do something!

Sure enough, after the timeout came back, the Nets started playing with Rodney Rodgers.

Jason Terry hit a free throw to make it 12-13 for the Hawks.

The Nets attacked, Kidd didn't continue to hold the ball after pushing over, handed the ball to Rodney Rodgers, ran the position himself, blocked Harris without the ball, blocked and picked up the inside without the ball, and opened up space.

This is the biggest difference between Kidd and the average point guard, he can also make his own contribution when he is off the ball, and at the same time use his off-ball actions to sort out the team's offense.

The best sixth man is a master of chaos, a typical proverbial defender like Rodney Rodgers.

After coming to the Nets, he finally has the ball and can play at his own pace as he wants, and Kidd, his old partner, will sort out everything for him! It was Liu Mang who defended Rodney Rodgers, Rodney Rodgers couldn't care who was defending him, he played quite confidently, came up with a quick change of direction, regardless of whether he shook off Liu Mang or not, squeezed to the left side of the free throw line, and when he was suppressed by Liu Mang and deviated from the breakthrough line, he raised his head and made a feint, not shaking Liu Mang, but it didn't matter, Rodney Rodgers directly pulled up a stop-and-go jump shot.

"Huh"

Rodney Rodgers hits a strong shot!

15-12, Rodney Rodgers came up and scored 2 points.

The Hawks attacked, Liu Mang sent the ball to Jason Terry, and Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt.

The Nets' two defensive guards - Kidd and Harris came up to defend it, Harris came to defend Liu Mang, and Kidd defended - Jason Terry.

When Jason Terry saw Kidd coming up, he immediately handed the ball to Liu Mang, ran empty-handed and cut into the inside, and walked with Kidd.

The Nets' defensive prediction is a two-point guard combination of the Hawks' rotational lineup, with a good chance of giving the ball to Jason Terry, which is the way the Hawks played at the end of the season.

The Hawks, on the other hand, are not stuck with the original offensive option of Jason Terry coming up to share the playmaking pressure, so why bother, it is better for the two to decide who to hold the ball according to the situation.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry discussed who Kidd defends and who plays without the ball.

However, Harris is also very good defensively, the kind that does not seek merit but seeks no fault, a solid defensive three-point player.

Liu Mang made a gesture, Boozer came out to block and dismantle, Rahim fell to the low post, and Liu Mang easily entered the three-point line with Boozer's blocking.

The Nets' lineup changed defenses very quickly, very quickly, and Aaron Williams, who came out, blocked in front of Liu Mang, and Liu Mang jumped up and passed!

Harris and Aaron Williams pounced on Boozer, but! The target of Liu Mang's pass was not Boozer, but Jason Terry, who ran to the free throw line with Barnes on the other side!

As soon as Boozer was saved, Jason Terry was seen receiving the ball, and Harris and Aaron Williams, who were closest to him, pounced on Jason Terry again.

At this time, Liu Mang landed and bounced to the bottom right corner, Kenyon Martin yelled, but didn't dare to run out, Raheem and Boozer had already entered the inside line, he was already invincible with two fists and four hands, Jason Terry did not choose to pass the basket, but chose to shoot Liu Mang three points!

Jason Terry ran to the free throw line to receive the ball, and before Harris and Aaron Williams and Kidd arrived, he immediately passed back to Liu Mang after receiving the ball without stopping the ball, Liu Mang received the ball in the bottom corner of the right side, it was this position, he missed one before, but this time he didn't hesitate at all, and he still made a decisive shot when he received the ball!

Liu Mang wants to tie the score! I want to smooth out the disadvantages!

With Liu Mang's urgent anticipation, the ball slid through a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket!

15 draws!

Finally, in the ninth minute, the Eagles finally tied the score!

Jason Terry is going to abuse the sophomore again, Liu Mang spread his arms after scoring a goal, and ran back to the half court with Jason Terry's celebration in the cheers of a few Hawks fans and the boos of most of the Nets fans at the scene!

The Eagles are on the rise! The two teams played a completely different performance from the first four minutes of the game, from the fourth minute, the defense of the two teams improved in a straight line, the opening 13-7 seems to be the prelude to the offensive battle, who knows that the two teams have become defensive opponents, and finally because the defense of both teams is too strict, even if it is replaced by a small lineup, it can't afford to counterattack, both teams deliberately suppress the rhythm, and it has become a tactical duel!

The rhythm is slow because the defense of both sides is very strict, but the Hawks relied on the rear attack to successfully tie the score, and then the two teams come and go, you hit the iron and I make mistakes, you three points, I dunk, after the first quarter, the Hawks and the Nets played 21 draws!

……

The scorching score between the Hawks and the Nets continued in the second quarter, after both sides were replaced with big centers, the rhythm became slower, and after Barnes came up, it actually played a miracle on the defensive end, and the rough defensive movements gave Harris and Kittels a huge obstacle to the rotation of the shooting guards, and at the same time, Barnes's rough moves drove the Hawks' defense, and the Nets' defensive intensity became more and more intense.

This year, the Eastern Conference playoffs seem to be poisonous, fighting, defensive oppression has come up, and the iron-blooded East has really arrived!

Halfway through the first quarter, the scores of the two teams were still scorching, and in the first half of the quarter, the efficiency of the two teams was outrageous, playing to the sixth minute of the second quarter, and in the half quarter, the Hawks only scored 9 points, and the Nets only scored 7 points, full of physical confrontation and foul errors.

The Nets called a timeout and went into the second quarter with an official timeout that gave the Hawks a two-point lead over the Nets 30-28.

In this case, both teams rotated on a large scale, and once again both teams switched to small lineups.

The Nets fielded a combination of Kidd, Kittels, Rodney Rodgers, Aaron Williams, Kenyon Martin.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Raheem, and Muhammad played.

Now that the defense has lowered the tempo, both teams have no intention of raising the speed again, and they are both afraid of the opponent's counterattack, so it is necessary to increase the success rate!

Kenyon Martin went to the low post to ask for the ball as Kidd instructed, and Mohammed came up to defend Kenyon Martin in front, but Kenyon Martin couldn't catch the ball and pulled it out.

Seeing this, Kidd handed the ball to Rodney Rodgers and went to Kenyon Martin for a point guard to get a pick-and-roll off the ball for the power forward! Kenyon Martin cut to the block, Jason Trilla couldn't pull it, Rodney Rodgers, who was in possession of the ball, was prepared, and a ground-hitting pass went to Kenyon Martin's hand, Kenyon Martin took the ball and rushed into the basket and took off to smash the ball into the basket.

Violent air-cut slam dunk! The basketball fans who had been suppressed for a long time at the scene finally began to cheer, 30 draws!

Liu Mang looked at the score that was finally overtaken, and was tied again, Liu Mang launched an attack from the outside, rushed to the basket in a hurry, and the layup was slapped down by Kenyon Martin, and the offense missed.

Liu Mang immediately returned to the defense quickly with his teammates, trying to adjust his emotions, and not to miss the defense because of offensive mistakes.

The Nets won the rebound, and when they pushed in, they still looked for Kenyon Martin, but they still didn't have a chance, and at the same time, the Hawks showed signs of shrinking, and the Nets' outside touch was also oppressed by strong physical confrontation and defense, and the outside touch began to deteriorate from the second half of the first quarter.

Kidd first asked Kittels to come over and block for himself, pulling out the Hawks' defense that was going to shrink again, Barnes and Jason Terry quickly switched defenses, and whoever defended Kittels was the same, mainly to prevent him from shooting, and Kittels' air-cut threat was now pitifully small.

But Kidd didn't want an empty spot, but to swap Barnes over, and then block with Kenyon Martin, and rush into the interior with Kenyon Martin left and right!

Why not just block with Kenyon Martin? Kidd knows very well that if he blocks and dismantles Kenyon Martin directly, then Jason Terry and Muhammad and even Barnes, who originally defended Kittels, will go to Kenyon Martin together, block and dismantle with Kittels first, break the opponent's tendency to completely shrink, and let Kittels participate in the offense, even if the shot is not accurate, as long as he is involved, the other party will not dare to let Kittels go.

This is the reading of defense, the judgment of a good point guard who has experience and defensive reading ability.

Sure enough, after participating in the offense, Kittels pulled Jason Terry away, and the Hawks were ready to block and replace, but Kidd rushed to the right 45-degree angle mid-range, which is one of Kidd's best scoring points, and the mid-range shots on both sides were the only points he had before he developed a three-point shooting percentage of more than 35 percent except for layups.

Kenyon Martin Barnes can only block in front of Kenyon Martin, Kenyon Martin is much stronger than Barnes, Barnes was crushed back by Kenyon Martin, Kenyon Martin rushed to the edge of the left three-second zone, Kidd accurately sent the ball to Kenyon Martin, Kenyon Martin faced Barnes's defense, took the ball and forcibly attacked the basket Barnes did not defend and fouled, the referee's whistle sounded, Kenyon Martin threw 2+1 into it!

Kenyon Martin's penalty is also on the mark!

After returning from a timeout, Kenyon Martin scored five points in a row! The Nets overtook the score again, 33-30, and the Nets took another three-point lead!

Immediately after that, Liu Mang caused the Nets to foul, but only made 1 of two free throws when he went to the free throw line.

In an inefficient game, both teams had their shots affected because of the previous physical contact.

After the Nets came over, Kidd concocted the same style of play as he did in the previous round, and this time Muhammad directly let go of Kidd to pinch Kenyon Martin with Barnes, and Kidd made a mid-range jumper!

Didn't go in!

But Kenyon Martin, who had already rushed to the basket, exploded! Rush inside and dunk the ball to the basket!

7 points in a row! Kenyon Martin scored seven points in a row!

At 35-31, the Nets led the Hawks by four more points.

The Hawks attacked, and the Nets' bag became more and more ferocious, the Nets deliberately let Barnes go, using 5 defense and 4 to defend others, Barnes decisively cut to the basket, Jason Terry gave the ball to Barnes, Barnes rushed to the basket and forced a dunk, but Kenyon Martin went berserk, rushed in and hit Barnes, and then slapped Barnes's dunk down!

The ball hits Barnes and bounces out of bounds!

Not only did Kenyon Martin send a block, the ball also hit Barnes and bounced out of bounds, and the Nets had the ball!

If the ball counts as a block, it would be fine, but Kenyon Martin knocked Barnes off balance before fanning the ball!

The Hawks players quit and came up to reason with the referees, but this is the home court of the Nets, and the confrontation in the game has been high, so they ignored it.

The game is getting hotter and hotter, and Kenyon Martin wants to fall low and run out to play tactics, but this time, it was neither Rahim nor Mohammed who defended him, but Barnes!

Barnes was knocked over just now, he couldn't stop the fire in his heart, he wanted to face Kenyon Martin just now, Muhammad carried it for a long time, Barnes wanted to come for a while, Muhammad and Rahim both changed their defenses, they felt that this was an opportunity to change their defense, the previous hard defense was really unstoppable, Raheem went to defend Kittels, ready to shrink at any time, Muhammad went to fight with Aaron Williams.

Kidd saw that Kenyon Martin was about to get to the position, and although he didn't know why the Eagles defense suddenly became so strange, but chance is opportunity, and immediately hoisted the ball to Kenyon Martin.

It's one thing to just get it, the momentum has to be enough, Barnes's role today is to use the cannon fodder for rough defense, come up and push Kenyon Martin outward, and the fight is not clean, there are movements under the feet and elbows, originally this kind of action saw that the referee would blow, but just now Barnes was knocked over and didn't blow Kenyon Martin foul, this time the referee didn't blow Barnes foul, in this case Kenyon Martin played particularly awkward!

Kenyon Martin didn't care so much, he pulled Barnes's hand away with an elbow, but the referee still didn't blow the whistle, and Kenyon Martin immediately slammed into the back!

Barnes was hit with his hand, annoyed, and reached out to slap the ball that had just bounced back in Kenyon Martin's hand regardless of his luck, and he really got it! Following the action of Kenyon Martin hitting up, he dodged Kenyon Martin to slap the ball off, and Kenyon Martin almost fell to the ground at this time, just like being removed from the chair!

Seeing Barnes pick up the ball that he had slapped off, Kenyon Martin was suddenly excited, and came up to press Barnes to steal, and slapped it on Barnes's arm!

Hit Lao Tzu's hand again! Barnes was very hot-tempered, went up and pushed Kenyon Martin, and seeing that the two were about to fight, the referee quickly separated the two men.

Kenyon Martin was whistled for a foul, a foul for a steal, but neither of them was whistled for a technical foul.

Eagles possession.

Jason Terry was prevented from death, and a bunch of people were under the basket, Liu Mang could only come by himself, fell to the middle distance and leaned on Kidd with his back, and turned over for a jumper...... There is no spectrum, and the mid-range shot misses.

But! Barnes is excited! Grabbed an offensive rebound! When Kenyon Martin's defense passed, Barnes gave Kenyon Martin an elbow and made a strong layup to score two points.

Kenyon Martin has never been a good stubble, he has never been a good-tempered person, and he has not fought in the NBA, the rough actions of the two in the past few rounds have already made Kenyon Martin angry, leaning towards Barnes, and making it clear that he wants to bully Barnes with a body that is a circle older than Barnes, Barnes is not easy to think with, and he pushed on Kenyon Martin, and the two who had long looked at each other unpleasantly began to push again!

The rest of the two teams had already seen each other unhappy, and they all squeezed together.

Even if this is a playoffs, most of the time the conflict is a kick-off, and it is full of the feeling of big action confrontation in the eighties and nineties, but it can never be repeated! After the referee separated the two teams, he blew the whistle decisively, and Kenyon Martin and Barnes both received technical fouls.

Coach Byron Scott hurriedly replaced Kenyon Martin, and the Hawks replaced Barnes, Barnes actually fouled three times in a row, if you want to say why he is unhappy with Kenyon Martin, it is because Kidd and Kenyon Martin found him this point, and used his physical advantage to keep playing, showing that he was bullying.

It may be that the Nets saw that Boozer looked so terrible, and he actually had a gentle and gentle personality, and thought that everyone in the Hawks was like this, but he didn't expect Barnes to have the same temper and appearance as irritable, the key is that he didn't expect this guy to have such a good defensive talent, and Kenyon Martin was hairy, and both of them were angry and almost fought, and both received technical fouls.

Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half, and the two teams finished the first half in the anger that had already been raised, and the score continued to be scorching, 39-40, and the Eagles fell behind by one point at halftime!

……

Back in the locker room, Liu Mang injected himself with two primary injury potions, and spent 500 superstar points to immediately heal the bruises on his body.

The feeling of pain came down, and the fire that Liu Mang had been nesting for half the game also came down.

looked at his teammates, and several teammates had bruises of one kind or another in the confrontation.

This is the playoffs, and many stars have almost never been injured in the early stages of their careers, but they collapse after a major injury? It's because of these small injuries that usually accumulate, it's okay for a year or two, or even five or eight years, but ten years? Fifteen years?

Liu Mang spent a few primary injury potions to treat his teammates, but he didn't use superstar values to help them recover immediately, anyway, Rahim's bruise, which he fought the most, could recover in half an hour after using the injury potion.

Now the game is not over, and there is no physical examination, so even if you recover quickly, it doesn't matter, the players play until the end of the game, then remember what was hurt in the first half, as for the second half of the collision, Liu Mang can't take care of it, and he will go to ice therapy after the game.

Watching Mike Woodson continue to emphasize defense, Liu Mang was thinking about something else.

Coach Krueger and Mike Woodson did everything they could, the offensive tactics couldn't be opened, there was no way, the defense was still very good, and the Nets only scored 40 points in the half.

That's the way it was in the playoffs in this era, where if you play well defensively, you get better and better, because the head coaches on both sides put more emphasis on defense and then play the kind of games where both teams add up to just over 150 points.

But this style of play made Liu Mang feel very uneasy, and he was completely betting on luck to see who could lead by three or four points in this kind of rough defensive confrontation until the end of the game, and basically won in the end.

For example, the finals of the Pistons and Spurs in '05 ended up in the end.

And the Hawks are in this situation, although they played well in the first half, they are not good at this style of play, and the Nets are extremely good at it! That's how they beat their opponents against the Celtics and Bucks.

It can't go on like this! While doing a good job of defense, you must also open up the offense!

Liu Mang knows that his teammates have done well enough, although Rahim has reached the level of 92 top stars at his peak, but his top star is the kind of balanced offense and defense, playing the 76ers can break out and score 48 points, it will be difficult to play the Nets, Rahim has done his best on the defensive end, and if he wants to remain efficient on the offensive end, it will not be Rahim, but a certain No. 8 who is already fishing or is very dissatisfied with himself and trains at four o'clock in the morning.

So I can only find a way from myself!

Liu Mang hated himself for not being strong enough!

Although he was very distressed, Liu Mang still opened the system space and looked at the star card.

Jordan, Reggie Miller, Sprewell.

Liu Mang was ruthless! Play a big one if you want to play! Take home advantage back!

It's about grabbing the home advantage!
