Heavenly!

Liu Mang really wanted to slap himself.

What the hell did you do!

Forcibly elevate a Pippen who is only a starter to a first-class player!

In this game, Liu Mang personally sent a first-class player to the other party!

Pippen just came on the field, and suddenly felt that his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer painful, his back was also comfortable, and he felt that his strength was exhausted, like returning to the feeling of his youth!

How good is this break? Or is the Gatorade you drink today better than the Gatorade at home?

Bridge bean sacks!

Liu Mang hurriedly took a look at the effect of the manic potion again, this is also a little perverted!

"Manic Elixir: The user's body and spirit are extremely excited, and the overall strength has been increased to a certain extent, and the physical condition has been temporarily improved to a certain extent depending on the physical talent. Side effects: Decreased sanity, and physical fitness decreased greatly after the effect ended. ”

Liu Mang combined with the actual situation this time, and finally understood, this is really a special card, the effect is very strong! No wonder the odds of winning a draw are about the same as the odds of winning a skill!

I can't see any effect when used on a big fat referee, but when used on a guy like Pippen with a historical level of physical talent, the effect is too obvious!

It hurts a little!

Shoot yourself in the foot!

……

The timeout comes back, and the Trail Blazers front court ball.

Pippen didn't give the flying squirrel after receiving the serve and dribbled to the three-point line himself.

Pippen during the Rocket period is still at the peak tail, although there is no Jordan, it is unlikely that he wants to average 20+ per game, but the comprehensiveness is still the same!

Pippen feels like he's not in such a good physical condition for a long time, and the feeling of being light and flexible is so good!

In the face of Rahim's defense, Pippen changed direction and broke through!

What calm and sanity, tossed aside!

However, the Pippen breakthrough of the peak tail is very strong! So it doesn't matter if you're cold or not! Pippen breaks through on the left! Rahim followed very closely, but this time when Pippen hit Liu Mang, he didn't give Liu Mang a chance to stick to him, and after using explosive power to push Rahim away, he forcibly shook Rahim away at a much faster speed than before!

Raheem suddenly found that he couldn't keep up with this old Batman!

After rushing inside, Pippen attracted Ratliffe's defense, and Pippen quickly distributed the ball to Dale Davis, which was faster and more aware than usual!

Dale Davis felt a great rhythm when he received the ball, and jumped up on the spot to score two points with a violent dunk.

The organizational ability of Pippen, even the peak tail, is fully revealed!

It is said that Pippen has so many vacant positions next to Jordan that he can average 20+ per game, but, if you really want to talk about it, Jordan during the second three-in-a-row championship can have so many opportunities to shoot in the middle and long range, and he also relies on the defensive containment of Pippen, who averaged 20+ per game for two consecutive years in the two years since he retired.

The two complement each other!

The eagles attacked, and Liu Mang advanced over.

Originally, the Trail Blazers defense will always be short of people, and the starting lineup flying squirrels can keep up with Jason Terry, but others can't prevent Rahim, Rahim attracts the bag, and others have open spots, especially Jason Terry and Raheem are both active on the same side, so Jason Terry scored two three-pointers at the beginning of the first quarter.

And the rotation lineup Ruben Patterson, a defensive giant, can be guarded against Raheem and Jason Terry, but at this time, the Hawks' Liu Mang is on, and the Trail Blazers' defense is still resting.

Now, Liu Mang looked at Pippen, who was actively sticking to the guard, and the pressure was so great! The Trail Blazers can defend all three from the outside!

Moreover, the Trail Blazers changed their defensive strategy, using Pippen to defend Raheem and Ruben Patterson to defend Liu Mang.

Ruben Patterson is indeed the best defensive perimeter for the Trail Blazers right now, but just like that, Kobe Bryant's finisher, the self-proclaimed, defensive ability is above average, and the team's defensive arrow level is below.

Jason Terry and Raheem had been picking up for half a quarter just now, and now Liu Mang is coming up to pick it.

The scoring efficiency of the Eagles is still maintained, but Liu Mang's score-based play, compared with Pippen's sudden pass combination of play, the effect is a bit different, and when there are 33 seconds left at the end of the half, Liu Mang misses a layup, and the difference between the two teams is still 9 points!

The Trail Blazers attacked, the Hawks defended quickly, this ball had to be defended, and the last goal had to be scored in maybe seven or eight seconds!

Pippen dribbled into the front court and he's feeling great now! It's been a long time since it's been this good!

Raheem didn't expect this old guy to burst out with such energy, the past minute or so the Trail Blazers three offenses all scored, the first three rounds, the two teams were efficient, fast-paced, both teams played an offense added up to only 30 seconds.

This time Pippen began to press the time, and when there were 10 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, Pippen beckoned to block and dismantle, and Ruben Patterson came up to block Pippen outside!

It's a feeling that Pippen feels like he's back to before 1998 and Jordan in the high position.

Ruben Patterson came up to block Rahim, and then split and cut in, Liu Mang and Rahim switched defenses! Ruben Patterson cut very quickly in the air, Ruben Patterson was very physical, the first step to burst out without the ball was extremely fast, and Pippen's pass was just right, Ruben Patterson received the ball and flew to the throw to score two points before Ratliff was in place.

15 seconds left!

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced quickly, the Eagles offense was relatively slow, looking at Pippen in front of him with the last defense, Liu Mang took a deep breath and did it!

Liu Mang leaned towards Pippen, Pippen hurriedly took a step back to avoid being fouled, the decline in sanity does not mean that the ball quotient has declined, but it is easier to be impulsive, but because of the high spirits, Pippen's reaction has become faster, and it can be seen at once that this rookie still wants to make fouls!

Shameless!

Liu Mang stopped abruptly and retreated!

Pippen saw that Liu Mang had already picked up the ball, and hurriedly pounced back and tried to block it!

Pippen's defensive awareness and skills are very good, he jumped up and didn't press forward, but just stretched out his hand to block Liu Mang's shot, and didn't press up, just to avoid Liu Mang from fouling him.

Pippen's action felt that it was impossible to be blown for a foul no matter what, and he didn't even think about taking the hat down, he just wanted to block Liu Mang's shot, and interrupt the rhythm of the pitcher, which is the core of defense, not a block!

But......

Someone once described Lonzo Power's shot as a throw-out action that was like sweeping a large area, and a defender with a one-metre radius reached out for a foul......

Liu Mang looked at God's hand above him, good opportunity!

While throwing the ball up, Liu Mang jumped up to the right side, picked it up and threw it over his shoulder, and the arm that was about to throw the ball out from the left side just hit Pippen's hand when he landed and stretched out his hand!

It's really a lot of tricks, and you can't stop a rookie from making a foul!

The referee's whistle blows, and Pippen's thug fouls!

At the beginning of this ball, Liu Mang didn't rush to make fouls, he just wanted to have a space to step back and shoot three points, so he deliberately used the foul making action that the opponent would definitely dodge, and really created space and retreated successfully.

However, Pippen's defense was too active in a manic state, and Liu Mang's hard shot would have no sense of rhythm as Pippen expected, so Liu Mang took advantage of the situation to make a foul on Pippen.

“NO!” Pippen cried out in pain.

Pippen made 3 fouls, but there were only 1.7 seconds left, that is, Liu Mang scored regardless of whether he made free throws or not, and theoretically there was no next offense, so Coach Cheeks left Pippen on the court to grab rebounds.

Pippen shouted two words loudly, and then went to the right side of the three-second zone to grab the rebound, which was closest to Liu Mang, and his mouth was still broken and broken.

"Can you make it? Do you want to use your best performance, pretend that your hand is injured by me and you can't take a penalty, your acting skills are so good, the referee will definitely agree to let you go back to the locker room early. Pippen glared at Liu Mang and said.

"I don't know, but I know it's going to be 10 points at half-time." After Liu Mang finished speaking, the first free throw was easily hit.

It felt really good today, and then Liu Mang hit two free throws in the back, and in Pippen's unhappy whispering, the first half ended, and the Hawks led the Trail Blazers by 10 points 67-57.

……

……

At halftime, both teams were still nervously arranging their tactics as expected before the game.

On the Trail Blazers' side, the original idea was that if the opponent opened up the point difference at halftime, the game would be abandoned, and if the score was very tight, try to chase the score, the primary goal was not to consume too much physical energy, and tomorrow would play the Hornets, and the welfare bureau could not do without.

But the situation turned out to be very surprising!

Pippen was unexpectedly positive today, leading the team to bite the opponent in the second quarter, especially in the last two minutes, feeling like he was back to the top, breaking through the layup, breaking through the ball, passing to the bottom corner for three points, blocking and dismantling the pass, and the four offenses in the last two minutes of the second quarter made the Trail Blazers feel that there was hope to catch up, but the shameless rookie of the other side made a three-point foul at the last moment, which opened the difference to ten points, otherwise they only trailed by about 5 points at halftime.

A 7-point difference will only be considered a difference of about 5 points.

Pippen's good form makes the players very excited, and they feel that there is a chance to reverse it, and Coach Cheeks also sees hope, since he wants to win, why not win two consecutive away games?

So the Trail Blazers began to actively make tactical arrangements for the second half around Pippen and Rasheed Wallace.

……

In the Eagles locker room, there is not much to arrange tactics or anything, they are ahead, and the leading side does not need to change the style of play, but just to guard against the opponent's outburst.

Pippen's outburst was unexpected, which was not expected before the game, Pippen had 14 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists in the half today, catching up with the data of his usual two games, of course, the rebounds were a little less, but it was also similar to the data when he occasionally grabbed rebounds in two days and did not go well!

How to deal with this veteran?

It's true that a team with an extra Pippen-like ball-handling core is difficult to deal with, especially a team like the Trail Blazers with a lot of talented scorers.

Coach Krueger wants to scold the management again, which coaching staff only has 5 coaches? Which head coach only has four assistant coaches? And one of the assistant coaches also worked part-time as a scout to go to the NCAA to investigate?

It's just the Hawks, who now have a defensive assistant coach on the Hawks, Mike Woodson, and a shooting assistant, an assistant coach for tactical training.

You can't just talk to someone about it.

Just ask the rookie!

There are a lot of crooked ideas for rookies!

Coach Kruger called Liu Mang over.

Liu Mang was excited at this time that the task had been completed three-sixths of the way, although Pippen went berserk, but the overall strength of the Trailblazers was also improved to the appearance of half a pound or two with the Eagles, the game was fierce, but the Eagles did not have a chance to win, and there was a chance to complete the task if it was a little more intense.

"Coach, what's the matter?" Liu Mang came to the locker room.

"What can you do to deal with Pippen, Ace?" Coach Krueger asked straight to the point.

"Against Pippen?" Liu Mang subconsciously responded: "I made him foul!" There were already three in the first half, and there were still three to go. ”

“……”

This...... It's really a simple and crude approach......

Wait a minute!

Coach Krueger felt that something was wrong......

Co-author, this disciple of his own family has been deliberately making Pippen's foul from the beginning of the game? And then pippen was enraged, so that there would be a performance of 10 points and 7 assists in a single quarter in the second quarter?

And what is this disciple talking about? Three left? Depend on! This stinky rookie really has itchy skin if he doesn't do anything for a day! Today's goal is to make Pippen six offences?

Not to mention, Coach Kruger's thinking has become very divergent after staying with Liu Mang for a long time, and this guess is really a guess......
