545. Death (All Night Chapter All Kinds of Requests~)
The goal has not yet been achieved, comrades still need to work hard!
A special card that cost 30,000 superstar points to draw yesterday - "Death" is still unusable.
Watching Kidd dribble steadily, Liu Mang took a deep breath, this thing was really calm today, and he failed to provoke the opponent, Liu Mang tried to prevent the Nets from attacking again.
But Kidd obviously had a very good hand today, once again with the help of Kenyon Martin's continuous blocking, first broke to the left, and then changed direction from the right to break through to the 45-degree angle of the mid-range, this rhythm and sense of space is also amazing, starting with a pull-up jumper.
Kidd hit another shot from the stop, and today Kidd had a good hand, and the ball landed firmly in the Hawks' basket.
Kidd is such an old fritter! So experienced! Seeing that his shooting was accurate in the past few days, he grabbed this point and beat it to death.
It's the Hawks offense again, and unlike Kidd's own scoring, Liu Mang chose to continue to target the Nets' defensive flaws to choose.
Or the triangle offensive run to start, Liu Mang gave the ball to Ratliff who pulled outside the free throw line, and then cut to the inside, when the Nets' defense was concentrated in the middle to change defenses, Liu Mang suddenly changed direction to the bottom left corner and rushed over, Latliff saw this change, and quickly threw the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang gave Ratliff a thumbs up in his heart, retreated to the corner, and Kittels, who was also on the left side of the basket, immediately came over to make up for Liu Mang, Liu Mang threw the ball into the hands of Prince who was leaked out at a 45-degree angle, and Prince received the ball from the empty three-point shot......
"Bang"
The sound of wind and rain hitting the iron is in the ears, Prince is really iron in the East this time, and Boozer is also not performing well, it may be the first time to play such a fierce playoff game, and after playing the first two rounds of the easy series, this time he met the strength of the Nets in the Eastern dominance, and the performance was very sluggish.
Fortunately, it was Ratliff who passed the ball to Liu Mang and rushed into the interior to prepare to grab the rebound, just as Prince's iron ball bounced towards him, and Ratliff scored two points with a dunk.
At 8-11, the Hawks still trailed by three points.
Relying on the advantage of rebounding and the triangle offense to open up the space of the Hawks frontcourt trio has enough space to impact the basket, and for the next period of time, the two teams played very anxiously, you hit the iron to make mistakes, you made up the dunk to my shot, and both teams racked their brains to compete with each other at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The first quarter came to an official timeout, and the two teams may have had more mistakes, but there were few fouls, and after seven minutes, the Hawks trailed by two points at 15-17.
The Nets relied on the only three-pointer they made in the first half of the game to take a two-point lead.
In the prediction of the expert media before the game, this prediction was made, and the two teams were strict guards against each other's accurate three-point shots, such as Prince after being seized by Kittels to shoot a three-pointer in the opening game, and he did not leave Kittels within a meter radius, even if Kidd was on the same side as him and only had a mid-range shot less than two meters away, he did not give Kidd a chance to pass the ball to Kittels.
Liu Mang was defended by Kidd alone, and there was no three-point shooting opportunity, occasionally Richard Jefferson switched defenses, Richard Jefferson was so tall and could jump, and most of Liu Mang's choices were to break through or try to make fouls.
And even if Prince doesn't defend, he can't get three points from the first game, and Kidd doesn't have a chance to shoot unless he blocks and picks up the mid-range, he blocks and picks up the mid-range is his strength, and the three-point shot is still at the level of open shooting.
It's just that the fans were very surprised, whether it was the scene or in front of the TV, the two teams began to fight tactically, and they deliberately did not let the game enter a defensive battle that was out of control on both sides, which is understandable, people had expected it before the game, but the two teams played very differently!
The Hawks, who are good at individual offense and supplemented by team offense, have been playing tactics from the beginning today, Liu Mang accurately understood the loopholes in the Nets' defense every time, created opportunities for his teammates, and relied on the passing accuracy that was on par with Kidd, and played a beautiful team cooperation.
On the Nets' side, Kidd started shooting and scored 10 points in the first quarter!
The most surprising thing was Ratliff's performance on the offensive end today, it seems that the Hawks recognized this point, and Ratliff also scored 10 points in the first half of the quarter!
Especially in the first few balls, the Eagles' first three athletic goals were all scored by Ratliff, a violent dunk, a small hook, and a rebound.
The sense of déjà vu in this game is as if the two teams have reversed.
During the official timeout, the two teams made personnel rotations, and on the Hawks' side, Prince, who was really poor, was replaced, and Ratliffe, who played most of the quarter, was replaced by Barnes and Jason Terry.
is also a rookie, Barnes performed far less well than Prince and Boozer in the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs, but in this hard-fought series, Barnes's unsparing temperament, which can be intimidated by Kidd on the outside and Kenyon Martin on the inside, is the brightest of the three rookies.
Technique or something, Barnes and Prince can't compare, let alone compare with Boozer, but this kind of playoff matchup, on the contrary, Barnes is the first to adapt, because he doesn't need to think about offense, just defense.
The main thing is character, Barnes is not cowardly!
Anyway, you can't shoot a goal, in that case, it's better to have a tough guy who dares to fight and dare to stay on the field.
The Nets, for their part, also replaced the center and shooting guard, and replaced Rodney Rodgers and Aaron Williams.
Both teams invariably changed their mini-lineups, and neither continued to field a seven-foot center.
……
After being shot to death by Kidd in the last game, the Hawks learned from the pain today, as long as Kidd's shooting broke out today, and Kidd could not be prevented, the Hawks didn't think about it first, anyway, how to make him uncomfortable, how to play!
This kind of thing must not let Liu Mang come, in case he is punished, it will hurt, so letting Barnes come is the best choice, he has a hard temper and a ruffian temperament, the key is that his physical fitness is good enough, Mike Woodson only gave him one task, which is to kill Kidd.
Now that Barnes has played so many Eastern Conference finals, he is beginning to understand what his role is in the NBA, that is, to be a villain!
It doesn't have to be Bowen or the Bad Boy Army to be called a villain, being a villain doesn't have to hurt the opponent, but it must be fierce! Be sure to make your opponent unhappy and become the one your opponent hates the most, this is his way of surviving in the NBA!
If you don't have talent in attack, then rely on defense, and defense is still inexperienced, so rely on momentum and anger to show the value of your existence!
Barnes is worthy of being the outward man who will be in the NBA for many years and make the league's perimeter stars hate him for never getting a big contract, and he quickly clarified his position.
The 23-year-old Barnes is the most physically mature of the Hawks' three rookies this year, and he hasn't gained weight to play power forward, and now is the fastest time to run and jump, and the impact is the strongest.
Barnes and his agent have understood what their path is.
After the timeout, the Nets attacked, Kidd pushed in, and saw the Hawks make a substitution to defend him!
It's another young player from the Eagles who makes him look hot!
Barnes put on a fierce and smelly face and stuck it on Kidd, be careful not to jump and don't get fouled, Barnes didn't clean his hands and mouth on Kidd's side.
"Wow, domestic violence man, was you beaten by your wife before you came to play today? I heard that you don't perform well if you don't get beaten by your wife every time you play a game, and you even let your wife go to Atlanta to beat you up in the game the day before yesterday......"
Kidd almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood, this Hawks player is too hateful, and he sprays in a different way with this thing, not to mention, there is a different spraying method every time!
It's so angry! But Kidd held back his anger and tried to force Barnes.
Barnes can't do anything else, but at the age of twenty-three or four, he was the fastest and strongest when he pressed directly towards Kidd, because he had a height advantage of nearly 10 centimeters, and his physical fitness was better than Kidd except for pure strength, as long as he didn't jump and was not fouled by Kidd, Kidd was not afraid to shoot Barnes at all, and he could shoot directly into Kidd.
Kidd obviously doesn't have that kind of scoring ability, and his jaws are already dropping when he can block and shoot in and out.
Similarly, breakthrough is not Kidd's strong point, Kidd's breakthrough is to bully people who are not as strong as him, relying on the change of rhythm to make a little breakthrough space and then break in.
And Barnes, who was not stingy, didn't care about Kidd's feints at all, so he desperately pushed Kidd out, and Kidd changed direction twice, but took a step back himself......
Suddenly!
Seeing that there were only eight seconds left, Kidd quickly passed the ball out and passed it to Rodney Rodgers.
As soon as it was passed, Kidd secretly screamed that it was not good, Rodney Rodgers was tightly attached by Liu Mang, and when the ball passed, he was directly wrapped around by Liu Mang! Rodney Rogers fights for flexibility and speed, which is completely inferior to Liu Mang!
The 32-year-old Rodney Rodgers played very well in the playoffs this year after an excellent performance in the second half of the regular season, and was the Nets' highest scoring average of 16 points per game except for Kidd and Kenyon Martin, second only to Kidd, who averaged 22 points, 9 boards and 9 assists per game and Kenyon Martin who averaged 18 points and 10 boards in this year's playoffs, and performed better than Kittels and Richard Jefferson.
But Rodney Rodgers relied on the excellent skills that have reached the peak of his career and Kidd's passing and trust, and his physical fitness has already declined I don't know how serious, and when Liu Mang was so tightly pasted, Kidd passed the ball over, and Liu Mang went directly around to catch the ball in his arms! It looks like Kidd passed the ball to Liu Mang!
Liu Mang was about to counterattack, but the veteran is the veteran, and the reaction was extremely fast, Rodney Rodgers hugged Liu Mang, and a tactical foul prevented Liu Mang from counterattacking.
Kidd signaled that the ball was his own, and this kind of mistake has occurred several times since the last game.
Liu Mang was a little regretful and couldn't fight back to score easily.
However, it is not bad to fall into positional warfare, which can continue to stimulate Kidd.
The Hawks sideline ball, the sideline ball in the halfcourt on this side of the Hawks basket, the Nets do not have a swarm of people coming to defend the serve and avoid being directly hit by the Hawks on the fast-break pass.
Liu Mang received the serve and pushed it over, and sure enough, Kidd defended him.
Liu Mang is now the most headache for many teams against the Hawks, and his absolute strength may not be as good as Rahim, but compared to Jason Terry, Liu Mang is more difficult to defend, and Jason Terry is difficult to defend because he will soar up from time to time and shoot in a row, similar to Kobe's feeling of ignoring defense.
Liu Mang, on the other hand, has all kinds of unexpected offenses, and it seems that he can learn new offensive skills every two months, and every time he has a new offensive method, which makes the team playing against the Eagles a headache.
Jason Terry is still waiting for Liu Mang's offensive instructions, originally the Eagles' offensive strategy was to defend Kidd, and the two of them were holding the ball on the other, but Jason Terry saw that Liu Mang didn't seem to have the meaning of passing, so he knew that Liu Mang must have tactical needs, and Jason Terry didn't make a fuss about the ball, and the team was first.
Liu Mang made a left-handed gesture towards Jason Terry.
It's this gesture again!
Kidd's heart suddenly, this is the last time the two teams met in the regular season, before the Hawks imitated the offensive tactics of the Nets, Liu Mang made a gesture!
Copy Tactics!
This gesture made Kidd unconsciously nervous, which tactic did the Eagles rely on to learn from them? In these games, the Nets have tried hard to avoid using the same tactics in consecutive games to be learned by the Hawks, because they are afraid of this.
And Jason Terry was a little confused when he saw Liu Mang's gestures, and the rest of the Eagles were the same, so there was no C tactic today.
I didn't talk to me about the new tactics here!
But there is a tacit understanding, Jason Terry saw Liu Mang make a tactical gesture that was not negotiable, although he was confused, but his face did not show doubts, but learned the position of Rodney Rodgers of the Nets just now, came to the elbow on the left side of the three-second zone, a big stride outside the top corner of the free throw line, and then glanced at others, and found that after the others saw Liu Mang's gesture, they all started to run, which seemed to be the position of the Nets when they attacked just now!
Jason Terry was a little depressed in his heart, when did he secretly arrange his tactics? Was it set up when I went to the toilet before the game? Seeing that I'm not there, I don't wait for me to come back, so I let me know!
I don't know...... The rest of the Hawks thought the same as Jason Terry, and they didn't know that this tactic was laid out today, and they all hesitated to move their feet to the positions of the players who matched the Nets' roster, and then saw everyone else move like that, and then they all felt that they were forgotten by the team......
Kidd looked at the Eagles' running position and secretly scolded the Eagles for being shameless and stinky!
This plagiarism tactic is also copied directly in front of you, and there is no heavenly reason!
Kidd is always on guard against possible blocking and dismantling behind him, because in his own tactics, this ball should be the center in the current lineup to block and dismantle next, but he was very upset by Barnes just now, and wanted to play one by himself, and then made a mistake in passing.
But Liu Mang had no intention of blocking and dismantling at all, so he consumed time like that, because he didn't know what the follow-up play of the Nets' tactics was.
During the Hawks' run, Liu Mang's mouth was not idle, and he protected the ball and muttered: "Jason, I heard that your basketball skills were taught to you by your wife?" And is it to teach you with a pan? ”
Kidd is so desperate, now everyone in the league is talking about his wife, and he gradually calmed down before because the stars of other teams don't have any new tricks when they spit trash talk.
But the Eagles are different here, Liu Mang and Barnes change their way to talk about it every time they want to go crazy.
Forget about Barnes's just now, where did Liu Mang say this time and hear the strange thing?
Liu Mang suddenly showed an envious expression and said: "I heard that every time you don't play well, your wife will beat you with a frying pan when you go home, and every time you don't score, your wife will beat you with a frying pan, it's ......good to have such a virtuous wife."
"Hit you #*......#¥......"
Kidd couldn't help it, and pressed towards Liu Mang, sticking to prevent Liu Mang from trying to use his body to press Liu Mang's mistake!
This picture sense, the fans at the scene saw strangely that Kidd's defensive style was similar to Barnes's defensive style just now! The position on the court was similar to when the Nets attacked just now, except that the others had already started to run when Liu Mang sprayed Kidd.
When Liu Mang stimulated Kidd, the rest of the Eagles didn't know what to do standing and instructed, so they ran to create an empty space, Muhammad mentioned the free throw line to Jason Terry to block and dismantle, Jason Terry cut into the right half, Jason Terry just arrived in the right half, Kidd pressed Liu Mang up, and defended Liu Mang from trying to press Liu Mang with his body to make a mistake, and then ......
Kidd was crotched by Liu Mang!
When Liu Mang pressed Kidd up, he found Kidd's obvious defensive hole, slapped the ball hard to the ground, and then turned around and turned around Kidd's body that pressed up, leaving Kidd behind!
Liu Mang's signature crotch is outstanding! Kidd was fucked too!
Liu Mang wiped Kidd and received the ball and went inside, at this time Kidd and Richard Jefferson both fell into a dilemma, Jason Terry moved to the top arc after seeing Liu Mang rush into the inside, due to Muhammad's blocking, Richard Jefferson was just in the top corner of the right free throw line, Liu Mang just rushed past him, Richard Jefferson didn't know whether to chase Jason Terry or Liu Mang, Kidd was the same.
And the two made the same choice, pounce on Liu Mang!
Richard Jefferson was because he was close, and Kidd was because Liu Mang almost him off just now, and the two struck towards Liu Mang.
At this time, Jason Terry ran to the top arc while yelling for the ball, and after Liu Mang heard it, he noticed that no one was chasing Jason Terry, so he turned his back to look at the moon, turned his back to Jason Terry, and hoisted the ball in the direction of the top arc.
Seeing this pass, it seemed like a casual throw, Kenyon Martin, who originally came to the center of the three-second zone because of Muhammad's blocking, was ready to pounce, and was so shocked that he stopped, this pass is really "freehand"! Are you sure this isn't a blind handful?
The other people on the field were also frightened when they saw Liu Mang's casually thrown pass, and Liu Mang didn't look behind him at all!
However, as soon as Jason Terry reached the top arc, the ball fell right into Jason Terry's hands!
Jason Terry felt fantastic catching the ball and hit a three-point shot hollow shot!
18-17, the Eagles finally overtook by 1 point!
Don't be so waveful!
The people at the scene were stunned, even if it was a wave of shooting, it was such a wave of passing!
Seeing that Kidd's face was about to wrinkle into a chrysanthemum and roared loudly to rotate the defense, especially at Kenyon Martin, who was supposed to make up for Jason Terry's defense just now, Kenyon Martin also kept a calm face and didn't speak, Liu Mang felt that it was time to stimulate Kidd again.
"Jason, it turns out that assists are so simple, and passing is not so easy to miss, is it that your wife hit you this time when you were in the wrong posture, and you hit your shot, and the pass is gone? You see, this pass, how simple, just throw it is an assist. ”
The posture of being beaten is wrong!
Kidd is really going to vomit blood this time!
How can this kid's broken mouth come up with so many strange words!
I couldn't help it, and Kidd turned around and walked towards Liu Mang.
"Damn bastard, you say it again! If it's a man, say it again! Kidd stepped up and put his forehead on Liu Mang's ...... Side face.
The two are about the same height, Liu Mang looked at Kidd and pasted it, and decisively raised his head a little to avoid being kissed by this guy, Artest and Pierce's kiss of the century is still fresh in his memory, Taiji!
"Oh, Jason, your name is Kidd, not Gayd! Don't get so close, I'm not interested in men, were you beaten by your wife to lose interest in women? Really, don't, as the saying goes, beating is scolding and loving, although your wife beats you every day, she must love you. ”
"Boy, say it again!"
Liu Mang was speechless about the trash talk of the Americans and the words when he sprayed them, just a few words, but Liu Mang felt that when he thought of Kobe Bryant and the people spraying each other, he also repeated a few words, and just thought of Artest, so he responded: "I don't say it, you go away!" ”
"I'm not leaving, you say it again!"
"It's the first time I've heard this strange request, I don't say it, you go away!"
"I'm not leaving......"
"You go away......"
Just when Liu Mang and Kidd were having a good time spraying each other's faces, the referee hurriedly came over and separated the two.
Kidd still controlled his anger very much, and did not fight with Liu Mang, and the referees were separated.
Kidd knows very well that if he and Liu Mang are both sent off in a fight, the Nets will be finished! The Hawks are different, because of Liu Mang's appearance, the other two Hawks have made great progress, and it is too easy to play the remaining group of people on the Nets, Kidd is much more important to the Nets than Liu Mang, because Liu Mang is not the kind of player who has a big bag, although Liu Mang is the core figure who changed the Hawks, but it did not delay the personal progress of Jason Terry and Rahim.
The two just shoved, and the referee didn't give a technical foul, warned the two, and signaled the game to continue.
Liu Mang returned to his own half-court defense, looking at Kidd, who could still suppress his anger, what a hell, this guy's mind is too firm!
Looking at the special card that still can't be used, Liu Mang can only look forward to another fire from Barnes's side!
Speaking of Barnes being entrusted with the task of this year's Eastern Conference Finals, Liu Mang is really surprised, sometimes this kind of role player, it is really difficult to have a chance to gain a foothold in the NBA, thanks to Mike Woodson as an assistant coach, he has long discovered Barnes's shining point, and put him on the court during the Eastern Conference Finals, although he is not a miracle soldier, but the effect is very good, the high-confrontation defensive battle, his role is much stronger than Prince and Boozer, who are also inexperienced.
Liu Mang went to defend Rodney Rodgers, the Nets' second offensive point with the ball, and Barnes saw that Kidd, who was advancing with a gloomy face, was not intimidated at all, and went up again.
Live to learn all the time, this sentence is an ancient Chinese saying that Barnes heard Liu Mang say when they were three rookies and Liu Mang were training together, Barnes didn't know what to learn because of his uniqueness, but playing the Nets allowed Barnes to learn something about Liu Mang, which is the extension of trash talk!
The trash talk I heard from Liu Mang is very different from the kind of dirty trash talk that Barnes used to spray with each other in college and high school, Liu Mang's trash talk contains a "comforting" tone, and even a feeling of "compassion", and the content is rich, the key is that it is full of power, so that Barnes seems to see his own development direction!
Barnes felt that Garnett's trash talk, which he had admired before, was simply not on the table! I'm embarrassed to take it out and say it, the trash talk I learned with Liu Mang is called real trash talk!
Barnes stuck to Kidd and said nothing: "Passing the ball again?" You can't get past me, you should go back and ask your wife to beat you in another place, it seems that your breakthrough has been lost this time......"
Kidd's gloomy face was not angry, he could still control it, this rookie was not as lethal as that bastard's words, and he calmed down and beckoned Kenyon Martin to block the demolition.
Kenyon Martin came out to block Kidd, and at the same time, Rodney Rodgers ran around the baseline to the bottom right corner of the basket and took Liu Mang away, Richard Jefferson cut inside and took Jason Terry away, Aaron Williams, a short power forward with a lot of impact, squatted under the basket and contained Raheem, the Hawks' strongest defensive team, and everyone opened up space for Kidd's offense, and Kidd and Kenyon Martin once again blocked and picked up back and forth in the middle distance.
Muhammad couldn't keep up with Kidd's footsteps, and after two consecutive pick-and-rolls from the same position, Kidd made a mid-range pull-up jump shot from outside the free throw line!
By the time Barnes forced his way past Kenyon Martin to pounce, it was too late, and Kidd was already on full swing!
But! Barnes is not as "gentle" as Liu Mang and Prince, and if he can't prevent it, he will knock Kidd down!
Barnes pounced and knocked over Kidd, who was about to throw the ball when he jumped up!
But what kind of team atmosphere you have, what kind of players can be created.
is also a defensive villain, Bowen's rookie season was played in the iron-blooded Heat that year, that year was the 96-97 season, Pat Riley was driven away by the Knicks, came to the second season of the Heat, 95-96 season Pat Riley has completed the transformation of the Heat team, the 96-97 season relied on crazy meat grinder-style and dirty defense, leading the Heat to become the first super defensive team in NBA history to average less than 90 points per game, This is something that the Celtics have never achieved in 13 years and 11 championships, because the NBA was extremely fast-paced in the sixties and seventies.
Bowen's dirty way of playing was learned at the Heat.
And Barnes, although he is also a villain, but the boss is Liu Mang, after knocking Kidd over, like Liu Mang, he rushed out with Kidd in his arms for several steps.
After steading his footing, Barnes breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to help Kidd up, but at this time, Kidd was already angry, and now he couldn't help it at all, and threw an arm on Barnes's chest, knocking Barnes to the ground.
Kidd lost the man holding him and sat on the ground himself.
Barnes learned the kind of discipline that Liu Mang rarely had for Liu Mang to protect his opponent after committing a foul, but he was beaten, how could he still endure it, and he had to fight back when he got up.
Fortunately, when Barnes fouled in a big move, the referee had already rushed over and quickly stopped Barnes.
Then he didn't hesitate to give Kidd a technical foul, on the one hand, to remind Kidd to calm down, and on the other hand, to give Barnes an explanation.
Although Liu Mang has been complained about by fans in many places and even hated by non-Hawks fans, no matter which team the fans have, they have nothing to say about Liu Mang's professionalism, especially about Liu Mang never maliciously hurting people, and fouls also protect opponents, this matter is also highly respected in the refereeing community, after all, referees are also people.
Barnes fouled a lot, but he protected Kidd and didn't cause much harm, but Kidd almost caused a brawl when he hit someone, even though he may be the strongest superstar in the East now, and even Maddie and Iverson are unlikely to be as strong as him, and the referee still gave a technical foul.
Barnes is still unrelenting, Coach Kruger hurriedly replaced Barnes, let him calm down, replaced Boozer, mini twin towers on the court, the opponent's Aaron Williams will only impact the rebound, Boozer may do better than Rahim, Raheem to defend Rodney Rodgers, but also so that Liu Mang can defend Kidd, Barnes's role has been achieved, and Kidd is out of his mind!
On Liu Mang's side, his teammates were beaten, but he didn't get angry, but entered a state of ecstasy!
"System, use to the death!"
"Ding...... The host uses a special card - Duel. ”
"Death: I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of you? Use the requirement to keep an opponent in a state of extreme rage in a state of extreme rage, and fight to the death with the opponent who wants to explode the most on the field, valid for 60 minutes. ”
……
The Nets called a timeout, the Hawks got a technical free throw, Kidd sat on the sidelines, trying to calm himself down, after all, he still had two free throws on his side, although Jason Terry made a technical foul free throw to give the Hawks a two-point lead, but Kidd himself also got two free throws, and he could tie it up.
Kidd kept hinting that he needed to be calm, that his team needed to be calm...... But...... Can't calm down!
Kidd's head was full of Liu Mang and Barnes, and the two kept saying the most resentful words in his mind that made him the most resentful in his life - you were beaten by your wife again!
It feels like you're stuck on a disc while watching a movie, looping that screen!
The more I think about it, the more unhappy I get!
After the pause, although Kidd almost caused a brawl because of the beating just now, Coach Byron Scott still had to send Kidd, this East finals, Kidd's average playing time was as high as 47 minutes per game, and the average playing time in the entire playoffs was raised to 45 minutes, the first in the league!
It's fair to say that without Kidd, the Nets wouldn't be playing!
During the pause, Coach Byron Scott didn't do anything else, just tried to calm down Kidd, Kidd is very irritable now, and no one is happy, especially when he has no use for anything but building a defensive system, Coach Byron Scott, is very unhappy, can't listen to anything, and is still playing Liu Mang and Barnes's sentence "You were beaten by your wife again" in a loop......
After the timeout, the Eagles switched to the mini twin towers, with Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Mohammed on the court.
On the Nets' side, Kidd, Rodney Rodgers, Richard Jefferson, Aaron Williams, and Kenyon Martin are still on the court.
This lineup has not been played for a few minutes.
Kidd stood on the free throw line, so angry that his free throw hands trembled, after coming to the Nets, Kidd's free throw rate has increased from more than 60 percent in the early years to more than 80 percent, and the mid-range shot and three-point progress together, but this time he actually made two free throws!
Boozer's shooting series was pitiful, but the rebounding protection was still good, carrying Aaron Williams to grab the defensive rebound!
Liu Mang and Jason Terry, who were standing outside the three-point line, were ecstatic when they saw Kidd miss two free throws, and they trusted the frontcourt trio that sandwiched Aaron Williams and Kenyon Martin, and turned around quickly, Boozer threw the ball forward, Jason Terry rushed to the opponent's three-point line to receive the ball before Richard Jefferson who was chasing the defense back, and then continued to rush to the basket, Richard Jefferson followed closely behind Jason Terry.
Rodney Rodgers, although slow, kept up and tried to prevent Liu Mang's catch from chasing the three.
However, Liu Mang rushed into the three-point line behind Jason Terry and Richard Jefferson! Rodney Rogers has no choice!
Jason Terry rushed into the basket and slapped the ball to Richard Jefferson's crotch, and Liu Mang followed up to catch the ball and jump!
If Richard Jefferson's defensive attitude was a little worse and he ran out of the three-second zone with Jason Terry, nothing would have happened, but Richard Jefferson was not that kind of person, he had a Tim Duncan-style headline spirit, turned around and tried to defend Liu Mang, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw a crotch flying over......
"Bang"
The basket asked a gentle gasp, and Liu Mang followed up to catch the ball and dunk!
The dunk is still very easy, after all, Richard Jefferson is deep under the basket, and he is not tall, so he does not play a defensive role in fast-break dunks.
However, Liu Mang rode the buckle again! At the moment of the dunk, the lower body pressed against Richard Jefferson's upper body, and Richard Jefferson happened to face Liu Mang's crotch!
Yan buckle!
True-face buckle!
Richard Jefferson froze in place, pretending to be composed, and the college coach said that the best defender is not afraid of losing face and facing the dripping blood......
But at this moment, Richard Jefferson, who silently picked up the ball and sent it to Kidd, the boss who ran over to catch the ball, was crying in his heart: We are in the same class, give some face, we all know that you are the boss of the same class, can't you give some face, why do you want to detain me, why......
Watching Liu Mang run away to high-five and celebrate with Jason Terry as if nothing had happened, watching the Hawks players on the sidelines cheer wildly, the fans at the scene shouted frantically for the Eagles, and this time the Hawks fans and Liu Mang's fans, who only grabbed a few hundred tickets, were completely drowned out.
Nets fans felt a hint of something bad, like it was the first game.
22-18, the Hawks overtook by 4 points!
And the Nets, from the official timeout in the seventh minute, more than 3 minutes have passed now, and they haven't scored a point! Didn't make any free throws! Scored 7 points in a row by the Eagles!
Kidd is now furious!
Forget it if you are scolded, you still bully your own little brother!
Kidd is watching Richard Jefferson go from being lame on the dribble to now becoming one of the league's most impactful small forwards in the past two years, and he still takes care of his little brother, and is more satisfied with Kenyon Martin, the ball quotient is much taller than Kenyon Martin, and the little brother was bullied, Kidd was already angry, and now he is even angrier!
Kidd pushed forward slowly, and the fans began to cheer Kidd on, and the whole stadium shouted Kidd's name.
Kidd has only one thought now, to blow up Liu Mang! Blow up the Eagles!
Liu Mang stood at the top arc, looked at Kidd with a gloomy face, and knew that "Decisive Death" had already worked!
Liu Mang clapped his hands, and the Eagles players looked at Liu Mang, and when they saw Liu Mang making a gesture, they all knew what they should do.
Kidd advanced over, facing Liu Mang's defense, decisively to block and dismantle, he wanted to score, he wanted to shoot!
Kenyon Martin came out to block Kidd, but after the pick-and-roll, Kidd saw that it was not Muhammad or Boozer who were the two slow-moving power forwards, but Rahim!
Richard Jefferson is completely empty!
Muhammad and Boozer guard the basket, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, and Aaron Williams are all impact basket-type forwards, Boozer and Muhammad are all dead to the basket, and Kenyon Martin pulls out, Boozer alone can carry Aaron Williams under the basket, and Richard Jefferson cuts in and is blocked by Muhammad.
Kidd spared two blocks and dismantles in a row, Liu Mang on one side and Rahim on the other, and Kidd didn't have a good chance on either side!
If it was usual, Kidd would have asked Rodney Rodgers to catch the ball, he is not a sticky person, he feels good now, he is naturally the first choice, but he passes the ball without a chance, which is his characteristic.
But this time Kidd is just unhappy, no chance, then force the shot!
Kidd jumps to meet Liu Mang's defense and shoots from mid-range!
Liu Mang jumped much higher than Kidd, and seriously interfered with Kidd's shot, and Kidd was forced to shoot with a backward shot that he couldn't do at all, and the middle distance was iron!
Boozer under the basket used his wide body advantage to block Aaron Williams and Richard Jefferson, and Muhammad grabbed the defensive rebound!
This time it's the Eagles' turn to fight back! Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry are on the third line!
Only Kidd chased after him alone, Boozer made a long pass, Liu Mang received the ball and rushed into the three-point line, passed the ball to Rahim, and then asked for the ball again, Rahim reluctantly passed it to Liu Mang, Kidd just pounced on Rahim, and immediately turned around and pounced on Liu Mang, and then Liu Mang threw the ball to the basket, bounced back, Rahim jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket!
Kidd feels like he's being teased!
Yes, Liu Mang did it on purpose, making Kidd's already angry mood even more violent!
Look at Kidd actually throwing it to waste! Coach Byron Scott was surprised, but he also thought it was an accident, as did Nets fans and Nets players.
But then, Kidd really started to wave!
was stimulated, the little brother was bullied, and he was teased, Kidd couldn't control it at all!
The effect of the duel is to keep the other person angry, and that anger lingers in his mind.
If Kidd is the kind of Kobe Bryant and O'Neal who gets angrier and stronger, one can score more than 80 points when he is angry, the other can scare all NBA teams into leaving tickets for each game to the opponent player with 60+20, or Duncan will not show his anger no matter how he deals with him, this special card is not only useless but may have the opposite effect.
But against Kidd's scoring ability, the effect of this card can be perfect!
In the last two minutes of the first quarter, Kidd hit 3 irons angrily, but these few times the Nets returned to defense quickly, although they didn't know what happened to Kidd, but their defensive awareness made them hurry back to defense, otherwise they would be beaten back and not grab offensive rebounds.
Although the Hawks didn't fight back in time because of the Nets' retreat in the last few offenses, the landing battle was also an opportunity, and they scored five more points in the last two minutes.
At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks were 27-18, stretching the difference to 9 points! The most important thing is that the Nets were defended by the Hawks in the last five minutes!
It's a bit wrong to say that the Hawks defended it, and it was Kidd who forcibly let the Nets eat duck eggs in the past five minutes!
During the break, Coach Byron Scott of the Nets kept telling Kidd to play hard and pay attention to the team, and Kidd also knew that he was too irrational and tried to hint at himself.
But when I came back in the second quarter, I saw that Liu Mang and Barnes were both on it, and I couldn't control it again, and I was even more angry!
The Nets scored six points in the second quarter with just a mid-range shot from Kidd, a layup by Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson and a counter-attacking dunk, and the Hawks scored 10 points!
The difference was stretched from 9 points to 13 points!
Coach Byron Scott was forced to call two timeouts in a row, but it was not easy to use, and the helpless Coach Byron Scott could only give the order and grind the defense!
Not to mention, the furious Kidd played like a madman on the offensive end, and on the defensive end, because Kidd was good at it, he played better than the previous three games!
As Liu Mang expected, if this card is placed on O'Neal, O'Neal's offense can chisel through all teams and use it on Kidd, Kidd's defense is also powerful, the Hawks are forced to grind defense, and the scoring efficiency also begins to decline, the Hawks who scored 10 points in the first four minutes of the second quarter, only scored 10 points in the remaining 8 minutes, at halftime, the Hawks scored 27 points in the first quarter, and only scored 47 points at halftime, but the Nets were even worse, 18 points in the first quarter, 14 points in the second quarter, and 32 points at halftime!
The Eagles stretched the margin to 15 points at halftime!
Before the start of the second half of the game, the effect of the decisive death failed, Kidd regained his composure, secretly cursed what he did in the first half, and wanted to return to the court to organize the offense and play well, but the defensive rhythm had come up, and it returned to the out-of-control state of the first two games, not only the Nets, but also the Hawks, who were forced to enter a dead loop, and the defense became stricter and stricter.
But the Eagles have a 15-point lead! This becomes the difference between victory and defeat!
The Hawks scored just 35 points in the second half, 19 in the third quarter and 16 in the fourth, and the offensive efficiency was outrageously low.
Although the Nets scored 6 more points than the Hawks in the second half, scored 20 points in the third quarter, and chased 5 points in a single quarter from 21 to 16 in the fourth quarter, the Nets were unable to catch up with the huge point difference of up to 15 points in such a game of dead defense, and the difference was narrowed to within 10 points before the end of the game, but unfortunately there was no time!
In the end, the Hawks relied on the lead established in the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain 82-73 away!
In this game, the most exciting picture is the picture of Liu Mang counterattacking Richard Jefferson.
There are two most eye-catching stats in the game, the first is Ratliff's 20 points and 10 rebounds, the highest score in the game, and the second is Kidd's 8-of-24 score of 18 points......
With just 18 points on 24 shots and 24 shots from 33 percent from the field, Kidd became the target of criticism after the game, making people ignore Liu Mang, who also shot 6-of-30 from the field.
If you win or lose, you will always see the good side, that is, Liu Mang prevented Kidd, and Kidd also guarded Liu Mang, so not so many people paid attention to it.
For Eagles fans, today is the same as the New Year! The hundreds of Hawks fans and Liu Mang's fans who came to the scene overwhelmed the nearly 20,000 Nets fans in the last moment!
The Eagles won!
3-2 lead!
