Coach Sanders is in a hurry!

Why is it that every time I beat that rookie, my own disciple is not calm?

Usually, Garnett provokes the opponent and is so angry that the opponent doesn't want to, but this time it was Garnett himself who did it first.

Sanders looked at Garnett, who was still scolding in his mouth, and could only temporarily replace him to calm him down.

Garnett was competing with himself at this time, cursing in a low voice, but he was also wondering, this is a big move that he hasn't let go of in his scolding vocabulary, why is the rookie on the other side too?

Not to mention, Garnett actually has a feeling of "fellow travelers".

Garnett and Kobe Bryant sympathized with each other because of trash talk, and when Liu Mang sprayed with him, trash talk made him feel more identified with than Kobe.

Kobe Bryant's trash talk is a little more "artistic", spraying and spraying, mainly speaking with facts, because Kobe Bryant has an absolute honor advantage against most people, but in the face of just enough, he rarely sprays, such as when he sprays with Old Man Joe, Old Man Joe responds with 6 to 2 every time, and then Kobe Bryant immediately shut up.

Kobe's trash talk was too clean, and Garnett felt sorry for it but felt sorry for it.

And Liu Mang's trash talk made Garnett "feel a sense of identity".

However, making friends prefers to seek common ground but differences are the main ones, the two are too similar, the same competitiveness, the same trash talk, Garnett hates Liu Mang even more.

Garnett began to organize new trash talk wording, fights? Non-existent, scolding Garnett preferred.

……

On the Hawks bench, Liu Mang looked depressed, he didn't expect it.

Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang's depressed appearance and educated: "I told you to be a little quiet, and I almost caused an accident." ”

"Yes......" Liu Mang was sincerely depressed.

Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang and seemed to be quite remorseful and a little surprised today, but he was still quite satisfied.

"I'm going to be fined 1,000 yuan again, obviously he did it first, and I didn't fight back, why did you blow my technical foul." Liu Mang said depressedly.

"......" Coach Kruger wanted to bird again, and yelled at Liu Mang: "Hurry up and roll me up, Garnett seems to have been replaced, go and open up the point difference for me!" ”

Sure enough, what is sensible, learned, and repentant is an illusion!

Liu Mang hurriedly ran away, this middle-aged man also has menopause? It's not scientific! Men don't know how to kill sperm, and I heard that a certain scientist gave birth to a son in his 80s, and I don't know how the hunter forgot to load the bullet and hit the bird.

Coming back from the timeout, the Eagles brought on Ratliffe and Chris Crawford for Newbell and Mohammed.

Garnett is not here, so naturally he is going to run!

……

The Timberwolves replaced Parker with Billups and Garnett with Joe Smith.

Coach Sanders is lucky, he has two players who can control the field, but he is a little unlucky, it will take a year or two to polish the technique of Billups who has it, and he has not been able to have a mature Billups, only a half-finished product.

Just like now, it's only 71 ability points, Billups, who is strong in attack and weak in defense, meets Liu Mang, and now he really doesn't have any advantage, the offense can't beat Liu Mang, and the defense can't be prevented, Billups is very good at defensive reading, yes, but he can't stand Liu Mang is a speed monster who can catch up with the ball carrier regardless of other people's running positions and being blocked and dismantled, Billups felt Alan Houston-style despair.

It's time for the Hawks to attack again, and just now Billups didn't score twice, and the first time he couldn't find a chance to pass to Joe Smith, who hit the iron in the middle.

Joe Smith attracted the attention of the Timberwolves after three years of rookie contract, and it was not for nothing that the Timberwolves, who did not have enough salary cap, took the risk of giving a double-sided contract, he was at the peak during his rookie contract, averaging 17+8 per game for three years, and he was really better than Garnett at the beginning, but the peak was three years, and after that, there was no time when he averaged more than 12 points per game, so he only got a 4.5 million one-year contract now.

The missed offense caused the Hawks to fight back, with Jason Terry chasing down a three-point shot.

The second time Billups missed again, he didn't dare to pass to Joe Smith again, this guy didn't score continuously when he said he couldn't enter, and he could score more than a dozen points in a row when he wanted to enter, but he was super god and super ghost, of course, he was super ghost.

And Szebiak's side was about to collapse when he was followed by Rahim, Rahim has Garnett-like positivity and doesn't talk much, but his actions are not much gentler than Garnett.

So Billups hurriedly threw a shot and then hurried back to prevent the Hawks from counterattacking, and sure enough, the iron was hit.

However, this time the Timberwolves returned to defense in a timely manner, and after Liu Mang received the ball, the opponent had already returned to the defense, so Liu Mang lowered the tempo and came to the position.

"Changxi, you still have to practice, your three points are so bad, do you want to train with me? 1000 pieces at a time! Help me pay the fine......"

For another person, Liu Mang's trash talk immediately became very civilized, as the so-called gentle knife is the easiest to kill, Billups just replied: "Okay, let's train together in the summer, I'll give you 1,000 yuan...... Ah, Watfakol ......"

Liu Mang immediately burst from the right side when Billups's attention was distracted!

Liu Mang also wants to develop a strong sniper on the left side, but it seems a little difficult to shake off the sniper with his left hand, so he still focuses on breaking through on the right side, entering the basket and retreating to throw three points.

Billups can't attack, but the defense is still brutal, the position is well grasped, half a step back but not to the point where Liu Mang will withdraw to shoot and can't catch up, and can stick to Liu Mang when Liu Mang really breaks through, delay Liu Mang's breakthrough, and give the inside line a chance to help defense.

But it's just good awareness and good defensive intelligence.

After Liu Mang understood the opponent's defensive strategy, he rushed into the inside line without looking back.

Billups understood at this time how important speed really is!

The strategy is enough, but I can't keep up with it at all!

Just like in the 2005 Finals, Billups was very average in both Parker and Ginobili, and was beaten by Ginobili in the strongest playoff series of his career, and he really didn't have much to do when he encountered such a fast player.

Liu Mang shook off Billups and rushed to the basket, glanced at his teammates, opened up the space, and the rest of the opponent followed closely, Liu Mang faced Mark Jackson's side layup with the same hands and feet and made a layup into the basket.

This trick is becoming more and more proficient.

The Eagles scored 5 points in a row!

The score came to 16-6, and the Hawks had just arrived in the first half quarter, leading by 10 points!

Coach Sanders sat on the sidelines with his heart still, routinely ......

The Timberwolves are characterized by stability, after all, Garnett and Billups have dual control players in the first and second teams, Billups usually partners with the second team, and when encountering the opponent's backup point guard, Billups, who has the strength of the starter, has the advantage most of the time, and not every team has a substitute like Liu Mang who averages third points per game and almost 20 points per game.

But if he encounters such a team, Billups will lead the team alone and ensure that he will take a break.

And sometimes when encountering point guards like Iverson and Francis who play more than 40 minutes, Billups is beaten up every time.

Now Coach Sanders is no longer impatient, he has long been used to it.

It lasted until the official timeout, and the Timberwolves scored only eight points in seven minutes.

At this pace, the Timberwolves' performance was similar to the last time they played against the Hawks, and the last time the Timberwolves and the Hawks played 7 minutes in the first quarter and only scored 9 points, proving that the Hawks defense is indeed excellent.

However, this time the Eagles scored 20 points in seven minutes.

Garnett was replaced prematurely, and the Timberwolves' strength immediately dropped from the league's second gear to near the lottery level.

It's true that Garnett was criticized for losing in the first round, but he is definitely the first person in the history of the Timberwolves no matter what, even if it is another decade or twenty or twenty or thirty years, and he can still make the playoffs, without him the Timberwolves can't make the playoffs in more than ten years.

After the official timeout, Garnett returned to the court, but by this time the Timberwolves were already trailing by 12 points.

The Hawks also brought Ratliffe back on, and the two teams began to fight defensively again.

Garnett is perhaps the second best superstar in the league after O'Neal and Duncan, all-round, a first-line scorer, a rebounding champion, more assists than many point guards, and the ability to get the best defensive player on the defensive end, and he still has that ability at the age of thirty-two or thirteen.

Garnett, as a basketball player, has the only flaw is his lack of offensive ability!

When the team is 12 points behind and the opponent is only stronger than Garnett's team, Garnett can't do anything.

This can be seen from the fact that when Garnett was the core of both offensive and defensive ends, as long as the team was not as strong as the opponent in the playoffs, he could hardly even make waves.

On the Hawks' side, there was no slackening after the lead, thanks to the enthusiasm brought to them by Garnett's mouth, everything is relative, the strongest five of the Hawks are all confident and self-demanding people, Garnett's invincible and exclusive buff wolf blood boiling makes the Hawks side also have high morale, although the Timberwolves are trying hard to chase points, but the Hawks are stubbornly holding on to the difference of about 10 points!

Liu Mang fought to the end and found that the 1,000 US dollars he lost were worth it! Taking advantage of Garnett's uncalm and being replaced, the score was stretched to more than 10 points, which became the key to the victory!

Without giving the Timberwolves a chance to turn the tables around, the Hawks held the advantage until the end of the game.

When the final whistle blew, the Eagles narrowly managed to keep the deficit at 7 points!

107 to 100!

The Eagles have won two in a row at home!

It was relatively easy to win, Liu Mang got 25 points and 4 assists, and the rebounds were eaten again today, and both teams were rebounding monsters.

Raheem was mainly defending Garnett today, finishing with 15 points and 11 rebounds.

The effect is okay, although Garnett is not good at attacking, but the shooting efficiency has been good, the timing of the shot is very good, Raheem can prevent Garnett from playing strongly, but the mid-range shot in the connection section of the defense is still not preventable, after all, although Garnett is criticized for not going to the inside, his shooting is really accurate.

Jason Terry was the one who made a fortune with a muffled voice, scoring 37 points on various shots.

But Jason Terry is really a wonder, saying that if you don't brush the data, you won't brush it, and when the Timberwolves gave up defense with more than ten seconds left, he dribbled to the opponent's three-point line and didn't shoot one, otherwise he might have scored 40 points for the first time in his career.

You must know that Jason Terry often complains in front of Liu Mang and Rahim that they have both scored 40 and 50 points, but he has not.

The Hawks' victory in this game did not surprise many people, and in terms of strength, the Hawks may be similar to the Mavericks, but they are still better than the Timberwolves.

……

……

After playing the Timberwolves, there are six days left in the month, with two games on the 28th and 30th, and the Hawks have three days off.

As the "seeded team" of the top four in the East, the Hawks have good benefits at the end of the season, except that the next opponents are a bit difficult to play.

The No. 28 Hawks' opponent is the Western powerhouse Trail Blazers, which is not easy to play, and the Trail Blazers are struggling to sprint to the sixth place in the West.

No one wants to meet the Lakers, Kings, and Spurs in the first round, and the two Western Conference finals are basically determined.

Just like the Mavericks are now trailing to sixth in the West, they all want to pick the Timberwolves to fight, poor wolf king......

During the three-day break, Coach Krueger gave the players a rare two-day break, resting on the 25th and 26th, and resuming team training on the 27th.

On the morning of the second day of the game with the Timberwolves, Liu Mang planned to practice boxing at home, find a place to enjoy the scenery, and then practice three points and spend a leisurely day.

But it was disrupted by a phone call......
