Liu Mang played 9 minutes and got 3 points and 3 assists, 3 of 4 free throws, and Boozer had 2 points and 3 assists.

Boozer did exactly what the boss told him to do, and this time it matched his looks, and the ruined gang boss was forced to follow the new boss.

Kwame Brown had 12 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, and Yao Ming's 14 points and 2 assists complemented each other.

No one thought that the two teams were actually two champions!

Stockton brought Jason Terry, Prince, Mohammed, Kwame Brown into the game.

Liu Mang is a regular rest, Boozer consumes Yao Ming, and he is tired enough, but Kwame Brown is the most relaxed, defending him is similar to Howard, originally Mike Woodson wanted Kwame Brown to defend Yao Ming, Liu Mang felt that Kwame Brown would be beaten to death by Yao Ming, Kwame Brown's ability to carry the low post is much worse than Boozer, although Boozer's short and stout figure is not as fast as Kwame Brown, but it is really strong.

Kwame Brown had 12 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, shooting 5 of 7, 5 of which were dunks, and also caused Yao Ming to have a foul and Morris Taylor to have two fouls for a total of three fouls on the Rockets' interior, one of which was still two plus one, and there was not much consumption! The only pity is that he only made 2 of 5 free throws, plus his physical fitness is already comparable to Howard's, and it feels the same as when he just played, and he continues to go up.

At the beginning of the game, due to Yao Ming's big inside advantage, the Rockets have been focusing on the inside, and Francis didn't consume much, bringing Mark Jackson, Clarence Witherspoon, Scott Padgett and Kevin Cato up.

Entering the rotation lineup, the Hawks' side began to have an advantage, Jason Terry only needs to be responsible for scoring, when Stockton is there, every time he appears in the position where he thinks he can shoot, he already knows how to play with him very well, and it is much more advantageous than Francis to point to him alone after starting the game, Jason Terry came up and scored 8 points in a row under Stockton's pass, and the Rockets only relied on Francis to break through the score and get 2 points and 2 assists.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks tied the score at 29.

Liu Mang looked at this score, he was not so used to playing in the west, and they were all soaring points, but this kind of eastern and western teams had completely different playing styles, which made Liu Mang feel very interesting, unlike in the future, the whole league will only know how to shoot three points.

After the start of the second quarter, Stockton continued to take Jason Terry to play with Barnes, Boozer, and Muhammad, playing almost half the time, the Hawks relied on the advantage of the rotation lineup to overtake the score in the first half of the second quarter, and in the fifth minute of the second quarter, the Hawks stretched the score to 47-39, seeing that the Hawks were about to overtake and expand the difference to 10 points, the Rockets called a timeout!

Liu Mang saw that the time was almost up, so he took off his training clothes and walked to the field, about to start the offensive mode!

I didn't shoot much in the first quarter, and if I continued to play like that in the second quarter, Liu Mang felt that he would definitely be alerted by the opponent, even if he wanted to assist, his offensive threat still had to be maintained.

Of course, the overall tactic is to continue to consume Yao Ming!

The Hawks forced Yao Ming to play nine minutes in the first quarter, giving Yao Ming a full rest for almost half an hour before coming on in the middle of the second quarter, during which the Hawks relied on the bench to catch up and overtake the score without the starting advantage, proving that this tactic worked.

It's only the second season, Yao Ming is already the Rockets' scoring champion, rebounding champion and the strongest defensive pillar, although the data is not very gorgeous, with an average of 19+9+2 per game, and the ability evaluation is not as high as Francis, but Yao Ming is undoubtedly the most critical point for the Rockets to have a chance to compete for fifth place in the West.

Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson ignored Liu Mang, who went up to shoot hot, and although they were bitter, they still had to make perfect arrangements for the defensive plan proposed by this kid.

Coach Kruger, a college coach who is proficient in many tactics, and Mike Woodson, one of the league's top defensive assistants, are the biggest backing for Liu Mang's tactics that seem strange to people now.

……

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Kwame Brown played.

The Rockets changed their main lineup, Francis, Mobley, Jim Jackson, Kevin Cato, and Yao Ming came on.

Jeff Van Gundy replaced Kevin Cato is really no way, as long as Yao Ming is pulled out, the inside line is empty, Maurice Taylor sandwiches Boozer, Kwame Brown dunks the empty basket, Yao Ming can't chase back, and even once Morris Taylor didn't go out, Boozer ran with Yao Ming, and after consuming Yao Ming's physical strength, he was tired enough, and threw the basket directly, Kwame Brown faced Maurice Taylor and directly connected to the air, and Maurice Taylor couldn't pull it down.

No one expected that the Eagles' main attack today was Kwame Brown! Well, even before Coach Kruger discussed tactics with Liu Mang and Mike Woodson before the game, he didn't expect Kwame Brown to be the main point of attack, but he just felt that it was relatively more reliable than playing on the outside, so he tried it, and it really succeeded.

The Rockets are now starting to focus on Kwame Brown, who they have overlooked the most, with Yao Ming and Cato forming the twin towers of the basket, one Optimus and the other doing the dirty work, guarding the basket.

After the pause, Liu Mang saw the lineup that the Rockets had changed, and immediately saw that the Rockets wanted to change the way of play to reduce the pressure on Yao Ming, the Rockets' twin tower combination, on the contrary, was better than the pitchers they sent at the beginning to open up the space, so that Yao Ming had a better card space to play high, seeing Cato help Yao Ming press Kwame Brown and Boozer on the inside, Yao Ming and Cato occupied an advantageous position on the inside in the card position, as long as they received the ball, they could easily shoot, although the card position still took effort, but as long as they received the ball, can avoid the physical strength consumed by footsteps or strong hits, how could Liu Mang let them get their wish? Seeing Francis advancing over, Liu Mang pressed directly towards Francis to stick to the defense and prevent Francis from passing the ball easily.

Liu Mang stuck to Francis like a dog skin plaster, constantly giving Francis the pressure to control the ball, Francis has no chance to hang the ball, pick up the ball may be shot off, the most critical point is that this year's defensive blowing penalty scale is too loose, Liu Mang is not afraid of Francis's swinging iron elbow to pull and pull the defense, and the referee did not blow fouls on both sides.

Francis couldn't pass into the inside, Mobley on the outside couldn't get rid of Jason Terry, who was very excited today, Jim Jackson was also pestered by Rahim, and Francis had to come by himself!

Francis's strong assault! Liu Mang clung to Francis's side, screaming in his heart that Jamai fell, but his body was still honestly "enjoying" the breakthrough that Francis was crushed into like a tank, but he didn't let go of even one step, and stuck to Francis with his speed advantage, not giving him a chance to pass in.

Francis ran Liu Mang into the inside, and the six people under the basket were crowded together like dumplings, and Francis forced to throw and missed!

There was chaos under the basket, Boozer and Kwame Brown almost hung on Yao Ming, trying to block Yao Ming, just to consume Yao Ming, Cato pushed Liu Mang away to make up the basket and scored two points.

This has just come up, and sweat has appeared on the foreheads of the six people under the basket, and the confrontation has become more intense!

But that's exactly what Liu Mang wants!

The Rockets hurried back to defense after scoring a goal, afraid of being beaten and counterattacked, but this time Liu Mang did not rush to start a quick move, and advanced at a normal speed after receiving the ball, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

The Eagles attacked, and after Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Boozer pull out, obviously, it was not Yao Ming who came out, but Cato.

didn't ask Boozer to block and dismantle, Liu Mang waved his hand and asked Boozer to go to the left middle distance to open the space, command his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to play alone!

Raheem went to the left baseline to be ready to pick up and take Mark Jackson away, Jason Terry went to the right corner to open up the space and took Mobley away, and Kwame Brown pulled outside the three-second zone on the right side of the basket and opened up the distance between the right sideline and the bottom corner three-point line in the three-second zone, but Yao Ming did not follow, but stood inside the right edge of the three-second zone for a while, and stood outside for a while to avoid defending for three seconds.

It's not that he looks down on Kwame Brown's shooting...... Well, he just looks down on Kwame Brown's shooting, mainly because of Yao Ming's height and weight, unless it's O'Neal, otherwise even if the future peak Howard rushes in head-on, he can directly slap him to death, at most a foul.

However, Yao Ming's attention is still focused on Kwame Brown, Kwame Brown scored 12 points in 9 minutes in the first quarter, Yao Ming's three views have been refreshed, this parallel champion who entered the NBA the year before, followed Liu Mang is simply a different person, and the whole person seems to be reborn from the fire! I can't help Yao Ming not pay attention to it, they are all champions, how can their talent be poor, even if it is the sugar man Olovo Kandi, there are still three axes.

Liu Mang read the opponent's defense, saw Yao Ming's defensive tendency, and felt that the opportunity had come!

This is the time!

First of all, break through Francis!

Although Francis's defensive evaluation is only 75, the middle of the league, which is higher than the average level but can only be regarded as good, and is a little far from excellent, but when there is Yao Ming, a center with enough basket deterrence, Francis only needs to block Liu Mang and start completely.

Liu Mang watched Francis stick tightly, took a step back, and began to dribble very casually.

Seeing Liu Mang's dribbling posture, Francis was not careless, and followed Liu Mang to press up, guarding against Liu Mang's one-step shooting across the three-point line, Liu Mang has scored second on the list this year, and all opponents attach great importance to him.

Seeing Francis step out, Liu Mang immediately took action! First, he slapped the ball to the left and broke through to the left, and when Francis immediately moved to the right, Liu Mang received the ball with his left hand, slapped it from the foot that stepped out to the left behind his back, and changed direction to the right!

Good defense is just good after all!

Liu Mang beat Francis, it was too easy, Liu Mang dribbled and hit the inside!

But Francis's defensive enthusiasm is much better now than in the first year, with a good center, he also feels that there is hope for his basketball career, and he was not discouraged after being passed by Liu Mang, and chased after Liu Mang, and was stunned to stick to Liu Mang's side, not completely thrown away by Liu Mang.

At this time, Kwame Brown rushed out from the bottom line, Yao Ming did not follow, but stayed under the basket, Liu Mang had a similar breakthrough in the first quarter, Liu Mang broke through from the bottom line against Francis's sticky defense, and attracted the attention of Francis and Yao Ming.

But! This time, Kwamei blocked Francis, who was chasing behind Liu Mang, to avoid Liu Mang being interfered with by Francis's chasing block, and after Liu Mang entered the basket, he rushed all the way to the right edge of the reasonable collision area without being interfered by Francis.

Liu Mang rushed straight to this position, Yao Ming was even more sure, Liu Mang was going to make the ball for Kwame Brown, guarding in the middle of the reasonable collision area to prevent Kwame Brown from running out and then running back to cut from the middle, his eyes were fixed on Kwame Brown, who was more than two meters away, as for Liu Mang, they all rushed into the inside, Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry, who was 1.88 meters old, and said that he was a dwarf, in Yao Ming's view, most of the NBA's centers are dwarfs, and Liu Mang is a dwarf among the shorts, just avoid being fouled by Liu Mang.

Just when Yao Ming's attention was all on Kwame Brown, who cut into the middle after blocking Francis, suddenly, a head popped out of Yao Ming's sight, and the face of Chinese people rarely seen in the NBA entered Yao Ming's sight, Yao Ming secretly screamed that it was not good, but! It's too late! The head of a little man on the other side is parallel to himself, and it is too late for Yao Ming to jump off the cover!

Liu Mang rushed into the inside line and came directly to Yao Ming's side, instead of jumping in advance, he may have been fanned down by Yao Ming in advance, but he played a careful trick, this time it was his turn to use the threat that Kwame Brown played before, deceived Yao Ming's attention, and used the blocking and demolition master triggered by Kwamei Brown's blocking, and even met the trigger conditions of the strongest first step, and after reaching the edge of the three-second zone, he pulled up on the spot without much space for jumping!

Yao Ming didn't have time to react at all, he just raised his left hand, and he didn't interfere with Liu Mang at all! Liu Mang burst out on the spot and smashed the ball into the basket through Yao Ming!

Liu Mang detains Yao Ming!

Moreover, when Yao Ming stretched out his left hand to pull Liu Mang, not only did he not hold it, but he was also blown foul!

Seeing this, the Eagles players are going crazy!

From the perspective of others, Liu Mang directly pulled up the strapper in the same place facing Yao Ming's defense! Because Liu Mang and Yao Ming are almost face-to-face!

Watching Liu Mang and his teammates celebrate wildly, Yao Ming seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak, scoring 14 points in 9 minutes in the first quarter, he had already seen that he was pressing the opponent in the confrontation with Liu Mang, but now, 14 points in a single quarter is a fart! The picture of Liu Mang separating him in situ has been transmitted to thousands of households in China......
