350: Always the bit that doesn't match

Until Livingston stepped up to the free-throw line, the fans in the stands still struggled to calm down. The turnover jumper just now, Livingston's body stretching, and the accuracy of his shooting couldn't help but make fans say hello in their hearts.

This guy is really a player that no one wants?

Although it was only one goal, as a player who was not expected in the first place, his goal was enough to get everyone excited.

Originally, under the effect of the badge, Livingston has been able to improve the tacit understanding with his teammates since he entered the team. What's more, Henson also allowed Livingston to hit his opponent in the way he does best. This kind of treatment is something that Livingston will never get from other teams. But it was Henson who allowed him to play the way he was good at that showed his strength!

So, to the cheers of the Pacers fans, Livingston stood at the free throw line and hit the free throw steadily! He hit a brilliant three-pointer to complete his first offense since joining the Pacers. When Larry. While Drew was still complaining about Livingston's luck, Livingston was already thinking about how to torture Sherwin in the next round. Mark too.

The margin instantly turned into six points, and if the Pacers continue to score, the gap will soon widen to double digits. Larry. Drew was dancing on the sidelines, and he didn't allow the Pacers to play with momentum because of a Livingston's appearance!

Drew didn't want to lose anymore, not just because it was about his job, but because he didn't want to lose to that Chinese man again!

Although three years have passed, although his feud with Henson has lasted for three years. But he remembered the man's vicious sarcasm after every defeat. Henson's ascension to the head coach position after only one year as an assistant coach still made Drew feel unbalanced.

He had never seen such a personless and cunning manager, and what made Drew even more angry was that this personless man could defeat himself again and again! The Hawks and Pacers met the first three times this season, and he was even shaved "bald"!

These grievances and these accounts, old Drew is firmly in his heart!

Losing to Henson again and again made success, honor, and money all disappear. And now, seeing Henson becoming more and more successful, and seeing the gap between Henson and himself getting wider and wider, he is more and more unwilling. It felt like Henson was stepping on his corpse!

Do you want to lose to this guy again today? Are the Hawks going to be completely blocked by the Pacers this season? No! Larry. Drew has had enough, this time period is the best chance for the Hawks to beat the Pacers! No matter what, he's going to get a city back!

That's why Drew is so excited, so excited today. His shouting on the sidelines never stopped from the beginning of the game, and he didn't believe that Henson could bury his good situation with a single "waste"!

Drew Sr. was indignant over there, but Henson didn't care about Drew's mood and thoughts. Larry. Who is Drew? Henson doesn't care, the only thing he cares about is how to win the game without over-draining the players!

Livingston played beautifully offensively, but he was tough defensively. Most players who have experienced this devastating injury, even if they recover physically, will struggle to mentally return to their former form.

Once a player starts to be intimidating, how much can you expect him to perform?

But Livingston has come out strong after experiencing the psychological slump of thinking about suicide in the first place. He is not afraid of confrontation, on the contrary, he knows that a ferocious confrontation on the defensive end can make a good impression on the coach. So on the defensive end, Livingston has never been a good guy.

Shervin. Mark experienced that, and to be tough, Stephenson was also very tough. But compared to Stephenson, Livingston's defense is a little more calm.

He doesn't act rashly, he doesn't get angry, like his eternally cold face. Mark tried several times to break through to no avail, and had to give the ball to Josh. Smith.

Smith tried to use his strong body to attack the basket like he did in the first half. But this time, Al. Horford made a timely defense and made an offensive foul on Josh.

Josh's impact was a little too violent, and a foul was undoubtedly the best way to deal with such a player.

"Damn, how can that be a foul!?" Drew yelled at the referee, but the referee ignored him.

Drew was glad the referee ignored him, because if it did, it would be a technical foul at the very least.

The Pacers attacked again, with a six-point margin hanging over Drew. As Henson's old rival, he knows exactly how difficult it will be to get back once the game gets into the rhythm of the Pacers.

Livingston is steady on the ball, and although he is 2.01 meters tall, he has to admit that he is more of a point guard than Stephenson.

Livingston looked around, the Eagles' one-on-one defense was very resolute, and none of his teammates had a chance to catch the ball.

But it is precisely because the opponent's one-on-one defense is very resolute that there is a big gap under the basket!

So Livingston suddenly pressed down on his center of gravity, accelerated violently, and ran towards the restricted area!

"Livingston suddenly accelerated, and the Hawks' man-to-man defense left their baskets unattended! His stride was very big, Shervin. Mark is struggling to defend it! ”

As Webb spoke, Livingston was already hurtling into the box. In Shervin. Under Mark's close defense, Livingston once again used his left leg to exert force, jumped high, and completed a one-handed slam dunk with extremely fast speed!

Just after Livingston dunked to the ground, Shervin . Mark was still standing still. He was stunned, he didn't expect this guy in front of him to dunk suddenly. Because what words did his coach use to describe this guy coming? Rubbish?

"Mark wasn't good at defending at height." Off the field, Henson's right-hand man Stevens shook his head. Mark just knows too well. Naturally, his shortcomings are also well understood. So if Livingston chooses to attack from above, Mark has no choice.

Just now, Mark has been hit by Livingston for a three-pointer. He didn't want to send the opponent to the free throw line for the second time in a row. So, I only had to watch Livingston complete the dunk.

"Damn, is that guy really Livingston!?" Drew turned his head and yelled at his assistant coach, he couldn't believe that this cripple could dunk with such a fast bullet!

Drew's plan today was to try to make every player on the court play against the Pacers' players and play a suppressive role. But Livingston suddenly appeared, leaving Shervin, Mark out of position. Once you don't get it right, Drew's plan will go wrong!

By this time, the margin had become 8 points, and Drew Sr. didn't know if he should continue to use Sherwin. Mark appears. He decided to wait, and just because Livingston could score two goals in a row doesn't mean he can perform later.

This time the Eagles attacked, and the others were still locked up. When Henson emphasized one-on-one defense, Josh. Smith's breakaway shot didn't work.

In the beginning, the Eagles were able to play a beautiful team offense, but now they can only rely on Josh to attack alone.

As in the previous round, Horford's timely defense allowed Josh to hit the wall. Only this time the referee didn't blow for Josh's offensive foul, but instead gave Horford a defensive foul.

But let Josh. Smith went to the free-throw line, and Henson wasn't worried. As a tank-type small forward with huge weight, Josh. Smith's free-throw shots were just as unreliable as James's. To be exact, it is one notch worse than James.

No Joe this season. Johnson, while Josh is shooting just 51.7 percent from the field after his free throw count rises. What is the concept of 51.7%, the "monster" Dwight who is recognized as not making free throws. Howard, too, is only two percentage points lower than Josh in free-throw shooting this season.

So at the free throw line, Josh only hit 1 of two free throws, and the gap was still 7 points, and the Pacers still had a chance to widen the margin to double digits.

This time, it's Livingston! His off-the-ball run, combined with Horford's tacit off-ball cover, allowed Livingston to shake Mark off a few distances. With an absolute height advantage, that's more than enough space for Livingston to shoot at the free-throw line.

Everyone has the impression that Livingston is a guard who can't shoot. In fact, such an assessment is unfair to Livingston. Livingston just isn't good at shooting threes, but he's a great mid-range.

This month, under Fraser's tutelage, Livingston quickly regained his mid-range touch. In yesterday's confrontational practice, Livingston hit more than once on the heads of two defensive giants, George and Green, not to mention Shervin. Mark too.

In this way, Livingston threw himself into the net, and it turned out that point guards who couldn't shoot three-point shots could also find an efficient offensive path.

After this goal was scored, the Hawks officially trailed the Pacers by 9 points! Drew Sr. shouted to stop the game, allowing Livingston to score 7 points in a row, and he had to make a substitution!

But after looking around, who else can Drew replace? Jeff. Teague? Teaggby Shervin. Mark is shorter and thinner, and using him against Livingston certainly won't work. In the end, Drew set his sights on John. Jenkins, a first-year guard.

John. Jenkins, who was picked by the Hawks with the 23rd pick in 12 years, is 1.93 meters tall and plays as a shooting guard, and is a shooter-type player. The body is strong, but not fast, and the defense Livingston is just right!

"Jenkins, you go up, top number one! I don't want to see that waste goal again, not a single one! "Drew decided not to let any of the traditional point guards play, he had to defend solidly!

Jenkins was also visibly confused, as he had never been an organizer. But the coach's words, he had to listen again.

In this way, Jenkins, who was unclear about the situation, was ordered to take the first position. But when the timeout was over and Drew Sr. looked at the court again, he suddenly felt desperate.

Livingston, who scored 7 points in a row, was replaced by Henson, and he was replaced by Stephenson, who had been holding back the entire half of the court and wanted to blow up the Hawks' basket!

Henson admits that Jenkins is a very good catch-and-shoot player. But limited by height and speed, as well as awareness, Henson dares to assert. In 1-on-1, Jenkins can't stop anyone!

At this time, it is the perfect time for Stephenson to let his anger unleashed!

"Coach Drew's substitutions are incomprehensible, Jenkins and Duntai. Jones partners on the outside? He's crazy! ”

Webber was right, Drew had lost his mind in the first half, and Livingston's seven-point streak and near-double-digit deficit put him under pressure. And not everyone can make the right decision under high pressure.

Lacking a traditional point guard, the Hawks' first offense after returning from a timeout was a mess. In the end, the ball was transmitted for 24 seconds but did not succeed in passing out of the gap. Jones forced a shot against George.

But naturally, Jones is not the kind of player who can finish off offense against defenders.

Later, an enraged Stephenson tricked Jenkins, a first-year rookie, with the fancy moves he had learned from Harlem. Stephenson's fancy, to Mark, is the right to give the ball, but not to Jenkins.

He went inside and was in the Hawks center Johan. Before Petro arrived, he staged a murderous one-handed slam!

"Finally, Lance. Stephenson played a great offense! With an 11-point difference, will the Hawks collapse on this!? ”

?Chris. Webb stared into the microphone with his mouth like a machine gun.

??? Wharton, next to Webb, was completely silent, and the dunk seemed to slap him. He once said that Livingston could not change the game, but it turned out that the situation changed from the moment Livingston came on the field.

At the same time, the elder Drew suddenly sat upside down on the bench as if deflated.

This guy, who has been a basketball coach for more than ten years, fell into deep self-doubt.

Because, he was beaten up by a "waste".

Starting with Drew Sr., the Eagles have actually collapsed
