692. How can this guy be so shameless! (It's another nearly 7,000-word chapter, asking for a monthly pass!) )
Liu Mang and others were defending outside the three-point line, and when they saw Billups coming, they beckoned and made a single gesture, and Stephen Jackson came to the left 45-degree angle to receive the ball in his best single position.
Wing singles are Stephen Jackson's most important offensive means for the Pistons, and he is very powerful, averaging 15 points per game, ranking third on the Pistons, behind Hamilton and Bosh.
Larry Brown on the sidelines has no opinion on whether the players should play singles, and Iverson can endure the offense that year, as long as it is defensively defended.
It's just that it seems a little unguardable, which is why Larry Brown is so angry.
Seeing Stephen Jackson receiving the ball, Liu Mang knew that the next step was to test Rahim!
Stephen Jackson's singles ability is outstanding, the two wings are quite strong at pulling three-pointers, and Raheem is very careful to guard Stephen Jackson's three-point shot, sticking very tightly.
With such a tight grip, Stephen Jackson was physically strong, and he was not pressed back because of this, and when he saw such a big breakthrough gap, he couldn't help but cut a step, shook off Raheem, burst into the three-point line two steps, and pulled up directly......
As soon as he jumped up, Stephen Jackson suddenly lost his mind, and he remembered that he was going to shoot a three!
It was a great pull-up jump shot to get rid of the defense, and it was already jumping, and this distraction made it a big problem!
Stephen Jackson picked up the ball and got out of his hands! Raheem, who chased in, went around to Stephen Jackson and snatched the ball away in Stephen Jackson's panic, and the Hawks counterattacked!
But the Pistons' reaction was really fast, five people quickly retreated at the same time, sticking and dragging the other Hawks players, Stephen Jackson also reacted quickly, chasing Rahim who was holding the ball and counterattacking, Raheem couldn't pass to Liu Mang, who was pulled by Billups, so he came.
Raheem rarely holds the ball and plays singles this season, it's not that he can't play alone, it's just the team's needs, I saw that the two-meter-06108-kilogram Raheem was like a tank, and the speed did not weaken at all under the 978-kilogram Stephen Jackson's defense, rushing to the front court and crushing Stephen Jackson, forcing the basket to score two points!
17 to 9! The Eagles are eight points ahead!
Steal and get a fast-break layup, Stephen Jackson was not a good-tempered player in the first place, and now his mentality is about to explode.
When Stephen Jackson ran to the front court in silence, something that made him even more angry happened.
Liu Mang looked at Billups, who had advanced to the middle line, and said loudly: "Hurry up!" It takes eight seconds to dribble, ten seconds to the three-point line, and I can't shoot it, so hurry up and shoot a three-pointer, I want to shoot too! ”
Billups was stupid and didn't know how to respond, but his heart had already exploded, but he really couldn't beat Liu Mang! One-on-one heads-up, he can do it, but today it seems that he has cast out his three-point hand!
"You're an all-star, you're amazing! You're going to shoot three points, you're amazing! It's like who doesn't shoot threes! "Stephen Jackson blew up too!
Liu Mang teased the two players of the Pistons with three-point ability step by step, step by step, without too fierce Garnett-style abuse, nor Kobe Bryant's and Jordan-style harsh insults, just step by step with contempt and disdain, and slowly put the two into it step by step!
This time Stephen Jackson took the initiative to ask for the ball from Billups, Billups passed it over, and Stephen Jackson also began to wave, continuously moving the ball sideways left and right, and Rahim was firmly in front of Stephen Jackson.
Movement has never been something Stephen Jackson is good at, and he can't shake out the space, so Stephen Jackson chooses a consistent style of play and pulls out three points!
Stephen Jackson, who was defending against Rahim, made a three-point shot from his back!
Liu Mang rushed inside the moment Stephen Jackson jumped, Ratliff was hand-to-hand with Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace was chasing the mobile power forward Bosh who was running around, and Liu Mang rushed in to collect the defensive rebound.
Liu Mang didn't struggle anymore, nor did he start a quick move, and steadily advanced towards the front.
After arriving at the frontcourt, Liu Mang didn't want to block and dismantle anymore, and began to accelerate his breakthrough through the middle line!
Sure enough, as Liu Mang expected, he had just accelerated past Hamilton from the three-point line, and Billups on the left immediately came towards him, and Hamilton who caught up behind him, and this time even Bosh made up for it!
Three-person flank! This situation ...... Of course you have to vote!
Watching Prince and Rasheed Wallace both rush to the inside, Liu Mang defended the Los Angeles-style strong shot with three people!
I almost threw a three-no-stick!
The ball only touched the edge of the basket and fell down, Ben Wallace was about to collapse under the basket, a tie-break is not a problem, and the key opponent's rebounding is not weak! Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff blocked Ben Wallace together, and Prince grabbed an offensive rebound and rebounded to make a layup for two points.
Liu Mang's ability to help the board learned from a man who did not want to be named has worked wonders again!
It was time for the Pistons to attack again, and finally, the Pistons' three-pointers continued, and Stephen Jackson singled Raheem for a three-pointer.
But Liu Mang was full of confidence in the case of rebounding protection, and he also played high, rushed over before Billups' bag arrived, and played a three-point chase in the positional battle, one step across the three-point line, and chased the three-point shot before Hamilton had time to save!
Hit 5 three-pointers in a row!
Liu Mang made his fifth three-point shot and scored!
And the Pistons, then began to play iron continuously, whether it was Billups or Stephen Jackson, they all played iron continuously, and they couldn't score a three-pointer in half a day, the kind that purely relied on the feeling of the defense to shoot, their outside line was pure singles, and there were almost no blocking and dismantling tactics, which is the worst part of Larry Brown's offense, of course, Larry Brown was poor in all aspects of the offensive end, and this aspect was the worst, even Billups and Hamilton's off-ball running connected offense, It was all researched by Billups and Hamilton for offensive assistant coaches.
The core of the Pistons' ball control team is Billups, in Billups's view, Liu Mang is "iron-hearted" to fight against the two of them, one-on-two, in the case of high morale, how can he not fight?
So Billups has been hard steel, but playing and fighting, the first quarter is about to end, and Billups is shocked to find that they are already behind by more than 10 points!
The Pistons have fallen into a long-term scoring drought on the outside, relying only on Ben Wallace and Bosson to grab a few points, and the outside shooting has never scored since he scored 4 three-pointers!
Liu Mang's side, after he scored 5 three-pointers, he didn't shoot hard, this is the key to his strategy, don't be much different from the number of three-point goals of the opponent's two pitchers, the other party will give up if it is too much, and always give the other party the idea of being able to catch up, so Liu Mang has always maintained a three-point lead, and then began to organize an attack!
The Pistons finished the first quarter with 18 points.
Such a score is not too difficult for Pistons fans to accept, and it is common for the Pistons to play a score of 70s to 70s or even lower from time to time.
But, uncommonly, the Pistons themselves scored only 18 points, while their opponents scored 30!
At the end of the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 16 points and 3 assists, helping the Hawks to 30-18, 12 points ahead of the Pistons!
Mainly because of Liu Mang's 5 three-pointers and a free throw, when Liu Mang scored 16 points, he had already helped the Eagles take a nearly 10-point lead.
When the first quarter was officially suspended, the Hawks replaced Prince with Jason Terry, and Liu Mang began to organize the offense, the Pistons' defense was really powerful, and it limited the Hawks' scoring very well, but the Pistons themselves had poor scoring ability, and Liu Mang made the two major starters to shoot three points, if it weren't for Ben Wallace and Bosh who grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in the first quarter, Bosh made up for two, and Hamilton received one of the two shots, and the point difference would have been completely opened by the Hawks!
……
"You bunch of shit! Want to fight each other for three points? I'm okay with that, but what about your defense? Threw it on the belly of those steelworker prostitutes? You bunch of ...... shit" Larry Brown has never been a good-natured person, and he treats Iverson with kindness, just because of Iverson's strength, not to others, and this kind of foul language is simply not like what a college teacher can say.
Larry Brown's temper and vulgar language are also a big reason why he was fired after coaching the Pistons for two years, reaching the Finals and winning a championship two years in a row, because even the players were unwilling to help him.
People are rebellious, for the head coach who is in charge of the players' playing time, except for a weird guy like Sprewell, even the future James will not directly contradict the head coach, Kidd and the head coach had a conflict that led to the dismissal of Byron Scott, and his reputation also stinked.
And the Pistons group of people have neither the brain-dead attributes of Sprewell, nor the unique status of the team like James and Kidd, so they all endured not to speak, but the resentment in their hearts is getting deeper and deeper.
After scolding, Larry Brown continued to set up defense.
On the other side, Liu Mang listened calmly to Coach Kruger's offensive tactics, Coach Kruger was surprised, he was going to play team basketball, Liu Mang, the lone mang, didn't propose to play singles, it felt very strange, but strange is strange, honest tactics, maintain the point difference, and win the game steadily, this is what Coach Kruger wants.
……
At the end of the break, the players from both sides returned to the court, and the Hawks sent a combination of Stockton, Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown.
On the Pistons' side, Billups, Hamilton, and Ben Wallace of course have to continue to play, trailing by 12 points, they can't rest, Ben Wallace moved to the power forward position, Memet Oku was sent out to play center, enhance three-point ability, and also replaced another 96 golden generation undrafted pick, Darvin Ham, who was nicknamed "Evolution Pioneer" in college, was a brain-responsible player of the 96 generation, a famous assistant coach in the future NBA, A top student who graduated from Texas Tech University majoring in biogenetic engineering.
Larry Brown scolded, but he still wanted to win, didn't he want to score three points? Not enough three-point shooting? Then a few more! Anyway, just guard against it.
The Eagles attacked first, Liu Mang VS Pistons' three-point shooting was 5 to 4, and the Pistons seemed to believe that Liu Mang was going to fight them with three points, and Liu Mang would definitely not make any more three-point shots when he was ahead, so he put on a team defensive posture.
Liu Mang advanced to the front court after receiving Stockton's serve, just as the Pistons thought on their side, Liu Mang came over and handed the ball to Stockton.
After Liu Mang passed the ball to Stockton, he immediately cut into the inside, Hamilton followed Liu Mang closely, and in terms of running ability, Hamilton was not false at all, and followed very closely.
However, in terms of chasing defense around the block, Hamilton and Liu Mang are far behind! Liu Mang just ran to the basket, and did not take advantage of Kwame Brown to block without the ball, but suddenly ran towards the bottom right corner, Hamilton changed direction to pursue, but was blocked by Prince, who was brought in!
Darwin Ham immediately chased after Liu Mang, but the reason why he had a good head and didn't play badly in college and would lose the selection was because his physical fitness was too ordinary, he could practice the strength to carry the low post and even carry the big forward, and he was also very focused on shooting at the fixed point, and he did a good job, but the anti-speed player couldn't keep up at all!
Hamilton had no choice but to quickly bypass Prince and block Liu Mang with Darwin Hamm, blocking Liu Mang in the bottom corner.
When Liu Mang turned back and ran, on the other side, Stockton had also begun to block and attack with Boozer, Billups did defend Stockton very well, and was a popular candidate for the second team of the best defensive lineup, so Stockton called Boozer to block and dismantle, and the two broke it after blocking and dismantling, Boozer cut down to the basket, Billups passed the ball to Prince who was vacated after helping Liu Mang block Hamilton, Prince went into the basket, and Oku was already the limit to carry Kwame Brown, Ben Wallace, who was chasing Boozer, had to rush up to block Prince, Prince was really different when Stockton was there, he became very selfless, and the pass seemed to be infected by Stockton, and the pass was sent to Boozer on the other side of the three-second zone very steadily, Boozer entered the basket and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
is becoming more and more familiar and more varied in blocking and dismantling cooperation, mainly the main players in this blocking and dismantling cooperation, and there is no Liu Mang! And Liu Mang's scoring ability, in the case that the Pistons did not get Prince, one-on-one could not be prevented at all, Liu Mang, Boozer, and Prince's blocking and dismantling cooperation was more terrifying than the original Utah double brake plus Hornacek!
The morale of the Pistons is gradually being worn out!
Bilops is still holding on to a force, and the game may be about to collapse, but he and Liu Mang's three-point duel has not been lost! He's going to continue! Either way, he's going to win one!
Offense and defense transition, Pistons offense.
To the surprise of the Eagles, Billups did not continue to possess the ball after advancing to the front court, but gave the ball to Darwin Hamm!
The main reason is that it is Stockton who defends Darwin Hamm!
After receiving the ball, Darwin Ham immediately pouted and leaned towards Stockton, Darwin Ham couldn't do it elsewhere, the static power was excellent, and he turned around and stuck Stockton next to him and burst inside!
Quite an excellent basketball IQ, and a good use of his few advantages!
On the other side, Liu Mang ran with Hamilton for a long time, Billups and Ben Wallace came together to help Hamilton block Liu Mang, Liu Mang forcibly squeezed between the two, and went with Prince to block Hamilton, at this time Billups retreated to the bottom line, just as Darwin Ham broke through Stockton, Kwame Brown, who was going to switch to Billups, was empty under the basket, Boozer was pulled to the bottom right corner by Okurum, Kwame Brown went up to block Darwin Hamm, Darwin Hamm passed to the bottom left corner, Billups catches the ball and shoots an open three-pointer!
Finally, after more than half a quarter, Billups finally scored!
Moving!
After Billups scored three points, the score was chased to 21-32, and there were still 11 points left, Billups excitedly waved his fist at Liu Mang and immediately returned to defense.
Liu Mang's attention is not on Billups, but on Darwin Hamm.
Who is this guy? Passing the ball seems to be very spiritual! But why haven't you heard of it? Such a player with brains and skills can't be so famous!
That is to say, this guy must have a lot more disadvantages than advantages!
For example...... Defend? Like what...... Individual offense?
Liu Mang received Stockton's serve, gestured towards Stockton, and then advanced towards the frontcourt.
Billups personally came to defend Liu Mang, and Hamilton next to him was also ready for Liu Mang to be caught in the front court, Billups decided that Liu Mang would definitely shoot three points, and the number of three-point goals of the two teams has been tied!
When he saw Stockton get to the front court and run to a 45-degree angle to open up space, Billups was even more convinced of that.
As soon as Liu Mang pushed outside the three-point line, Billups and Hamilton came over, and the remaining three of the Pistons made a joint defensive posture on the inside, ready to grab rebounds at any time.
Under the defense of the two, Liu Mang tried his best to protect the ball, jumped to the right, and grabbed the ball after landing and jumped again!
Hamilton and Billups immediately jumped up to block, but Liu Mang jumped up and didn't shoot, but passed to the left!
Stockton cut one step to the three-point line and one mid-range! After Stockton received the ball, Ben Wallace immediately made up for it, Stockton broke through to the left, Boozer blocked Ben Wallace, and Stockton hit a mid-range shot around the block!
There was no assist, but the goal was scored!
How can it be a pass?
Billups feels like his IQ is being suppressed!
When it came to the Pistons' offense again, Liu Mang signaled that they should guard their own defenders, mainly chasing Hamilton and Billups, and Stockton could defend alone.
Sure enough, as Liu Mang expected, although Darwin Hamm still relied on his body to pass Stockton this time, but after he passed Stockton, the speed of his breakthrough was not fast! The speed of 80 is not bad among amateur players, but among NBA outside players, it is slow!
After Stockton was passed, he chased after Darwin Hamm, who could not attract the defense, so he could only continue to rush inside and fly!
This bounce is enough, and I want to avoid Stockton's shot, but as soon as the ball is picked up, Stockton, who is chasing after him, reaches out and pulls it out!
It is worthy of being the king of historical steals! Stockton found that Darvin Ham was not as fast as his own 42-year-old man, so he quickly made defensive judgments, clinging to the opponent, and when Darwin Ham picked up the ball and made a layup, he cut the ball accurately!
Steal!
Stockton fights back! Hit the bridging section!
The direct fast attack can't be played, but the more experienced Stockton led the Hawks to counterattack, Liu Mang rushed to the front court and waited at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and Stockton advanced to the front court and immediately threw it to Liu Mang.
The three people of the Pistons rushed towards Liu Mang, they felt that Liu Mang was definitely going to shoot, but when Liu Mang hit it, the ball was thrown out, but it was not a shot, but a pass!
Liu Mang threw the ball to the basket, and the follow-up Kwame Brown once again showed his physicality, getting the ball in the air and smashing the ball into the basket like a monster! The whole hoop is shaking!
After Darwin Hamm's strange soldier was seen through and broken by Liu Mang, Billups didn't dare to pass it to him, he knew that Darwin Hamm had a good head and good skills, but his body was too poor, and he had nothing else but to be strong, so he could only fight by himself.
He threw several more three-pointers, and finally, after throwing 4 irons, hit another three-pointer! The Pistons have already scored six three-pointers!
Billups decided that Liu Mang was definitely going to throw three points next, but after the Pistons attacked, Liu Mang was still playing without the ball, cutting to the basket and receiving a pass from Billups, causing Oku's foul to go to the free throw line!
And when Billups hit four irons in a row, although the Pistons defended well, the Hawks also made a mid-range shot and a layup, and the score was already 40-24!
Billups felt that something was wrong, Liu Mang didn't feel like he continued to score three points at all in the second quarter, but used his three-point threat to help his teammates organize offense!
Billups realized that he had been tricked!
Billups still can't believe it, this is too shameless! The opponent who has an advantage in strength still has to play conspiracy! It must not be true.
When Billups came to the three-point line and waited for Liu Mang to make a free throw, Liu Mang turned his head and said, "Chauncey, you have been tricked again." ”
Seeing Liu Mang's smug smile and the frivolous words with a final note, Billups already felt that something was wrong, and this time it completely collapsed!
This guy is really playing tricks on him!
It's so shameless! It's too much!
Billups's original remaining fighting spirit, because of this score, as well as what Liu Mang's yin man did, his fighting spirit collapsed!
In addition to Billups, others also heard Liu Mang's words, and the morale of the team that Ben Wallace had maintained completely collapsed!
……
Although Liu Mang only made one of two free throws, the difference was 17 points.
Next, the Eagles did not play the strategy again, and played steadily, maintaining a lead of about 15 points.
After the Pistons' fighting spirit collapsed, they had a mentality of playing blindly, just doing it with the ball, and really put a little pressure on the Hawks for a while, chasing the difference to within ten points at halftime, and the halftime score, the Hawks led by nine points at 54-45.
However, Liu Mang and Jason Terry opened the double-wave combination in the third quarter, Rahim, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff's domestic jokingly called "female love" combination rushed to grab rebounds, relying on the power of Liu Mang and Jason Terry's sharp wave shooting combination, in the third quarter of the connecting stage, the Hawks played a single quarter score of 24-17, helping the Hawks to expand the difference to more than 15 points again.
After the fighting spirit collapsed, and even the courage of the Jedi to fight back to catch up with the score was pulled away by the Hawks again, the Pistons did not struggle at all.
Within a few minutes of the final quarter, Larry Brown's angry scolding didn't work, Ben Wallace's morale-boosting didn't work, and when Liu Mang got the reminder that Ben Wallace's morale bonus in the field of Big Ben was gone, the point difference had been stretched to more than 20 points by the Eagles!
88-67, the Hawks led the Pistons by 21 points in the fourth minute of the fourth quarter!
Larry Brown cursed angrily at his players and the Hawks, replaced the main team, and announced his surrender!
The Hawks also left only Jason Terry with Korver, Barnes, Mohammed and Ostertag, who had just been traded and hadn't played yet, to go up for a bit of garbage time to get a feel.
After Liu Mang scored 16 points in the first quarter, he only scored 30 points in the whole game, but it didn't matter, there were 8 assists and 7 rebounds! The 30+8+7 data is also gorgeous enough!
In the end, the Hawks defeated the Pistons 98-80 and won the first three meetings with the Pistons this season!
With 49 wins and 8 losses, the Hawks continue to soar!
If they come back to beat the Heat back-to-back at home, the Hawks will become the first team in the new century to win 50 by March!
In addition to the gratifying record, what makes Liu Mang happiest is that the task of suppressing the Pistons in the regular season has been completed by three-quarters!
This leaves the Eagles with an obstacle in front of them to clear the playoffs!
