Liu Mang and Carter's "Biao Three" battle is in full swing, Carter really honestly rushed over to meet Liu Mang or Rahim directly to pull out three points, the top three points, excellent dry pulling ability, he doesn't care about defense at all, just do it with the ball.

But this kind of dry three-point shooting rate is often not high, and Maddy is just a one-third shooting rate at his peak, and Carter is not much better if he is a little higher.

On Liu Mang's side, he and Jason Terry are cooperating, and it looks like they are flying three points, but they are all cooperating in counterattacks!

Although the Raptors have a slight advantage in rebounding this lineup, the two interior lines are iron gods, the real iron kind, Kobe Bryant has the certainty to throw, these two people get the ball no matter what the situation is, grabbing the rebound is dry, and the inside shooting rate is not as good as the accurate outside.

Originally, Carter was very unhappy when he watched Liu Mang pass to Jason Terry and shoot a three-pointer, but what about the three-point shot?

Then I saw Liu Mang yelling: "Jason, you are amazing, even you are better than the button on the other side, so you don't need me to make a move." ”

Can Carter endure it? Of course not! Keep flying!

Playing and fighting, by the end of the half, the Hawks had the score to 62-47 and a 15-point lead at halftime!

The 62-point half-time score looks terrifying in this era of defense that Pat Riley has built since the nineties and continues to this day!

……

At halftime, the Eagles played very happily, this kind of running and playing, if not consecutive back-to-back, the fight was actually very easy.

Last time, I was tired from back-to-back fights and had no physical strength, and I wasn't on the run.

If you grind positional battles and fight back-to-back continuously, the effect is the same, you can't bear it, this kind of brisk play is not much to fight, in fact, it is more beneficial from physical fitness!

Jason Terry and Raheem, who played the first half, scored 19 and 17 points respectively, and the efficiency was terrifying!

Liu Mang also made two three-pointers and a layup, scoring 8 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

Everyone was happy and the atmosphere in the dressing room was relaxed.

"Jason, can you still run? Let's go on in the second half! Liu Mang didn't "hurt" Carter's consciousness at all, off-court is off-field, game is game, as long as it is not Bowen's kind of injury to others, this kind of mental blow, Liu Mang believes that Carter is so strong that he can hold on, but I don't know when he will react.

"Of course! We pulled the score away in the third quarter and won the game! Fight the Clippers tomorrow, Sharif, you help me teach Brand a lesson! Jason Terry said the second half of the sentence to Rahim.

Raheem didn't know if he had been with Newbell for a long time and was getting cooler and cooler, so he nodded to indicate that he knew.

"Jason, do you have a vendetta against Brand?" Liu Mang swallowed the energy drink in his mouth and asked.

"No, I really envy you, Ace, entering the NBA is the best guard in the same class." Jason Terry replied.

Shuffle! Liu Mang remembered that Jason Terry and anyone in his class didn't deal with each other, and meeting was just!

Liu Mang saw that Rahim, who had high hopes, did not feel anything wrong, and remembered that Raheem had no fighting spirit before, and met Iverson and worked hard very hard, so he was a little conscious, and it turned out that the competition between players in the same class turned out to be like this.

But Liu Mang is a little depressed, he should be the best player in the class of 2001 now, why can't he be cowardly when he sees him one by one? He also wants to have a big fight against his opponents in the same class!

But thinking about the fact that there are only five or six rookies in the same class this year, most of whom are frontcourt players, and the guards seem to be their own lone seedling......

……

Coming back from half-time, the game continued.

It seems that the head coach of the Raptors, that is, the head coach of the Hawks last season, Lenny Wilkins, probably scolded in the locker room for more than ten minutes, and Coach Wilkins was still angry when he came out.

Because of the scolding, the players were naturally furious, and the Raptors played really poorly in the first half, mainly in Carter, who played too willfully.

The scolding is right, and the anger of the players brings with it a more serious and focused mood.

The Hawks re-fielded the starting five, Keane Clarke and Alvin Williams partnered in the backcourt, Carter played the full first half but continued to start, Carter played a lot of minutes, averaging 39.6 minutes per game, and with the brutal mid-season schedule, the record was about to be caught up by the Pacers, who had soared after acquiring Artest, and the record was under a lot of pressure, and the playing time has been increasing.

The same is true of Antonio Davis on the inside, his single function and he has been clamoring for a big contract, but the Raptors really don't dare to mention a trade or not give a big contract, and his average of 38.4 minutes per game ranks second on the team!

Olajuwon also came up, Coach Wilkins hopes that he can rely on experience to suppress the rhythm, to say that Carter's only player in the Raptors is Olajuwon!

The Hawks also made a change to the starting line-up in addition to Dean Grove, with Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Mohammed, and Ratliff on the field.

Before the start of the second half, the final cheerleading performance, the players were preparing to apply magnesium powder or something on the technical table.

Carter came to Liu Mang, who was rubbing magnesium powder and thinking about whether to rob the future little emperor's opening action of sprinkling magnesium powder.

"Ace."

“？” Liu Mang was stunned, what is Carter doing here?

"Ace, you were deliberately provoking me to shoot three points before, right?" Carter asked, grimacing.

"Uh......" Liu Mang was a little stunned, so embarrassed! It's been seen!

Carter seems to be angry!

It seems to hurt a lot!

What to do, feel guilty for two seconds and think about how to solve the embarrassing situation now!

Just when Liu Mang thought that Carter was about to be annoyed and angry, Carter suddenly laughed: "Sure enough, I'm not as smart as you in my head, your little tricks have always worked, and of course your strength is also very good......"

Katla took a long note and continued, "But I'm stronger! After all, the game speaks with strength! Now let's start the serious game! Today I must take away the victory! ”

Liu Mang didn't expect Carter to have such a competitive spirit, to be honest, he felt that if Carter could always maintain his current focus, he should have a better career.

Of course, a player who can play 20 seasons and has been playing well does not mean that he has not had a good career, but good and great are two different concepts.

Liu Mang also smiled: "OK, but there are three of us, are you ready?" ”

"I have teammates too, are you ready?" Carter replied unceremoniously.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The game continues!

Back on the court, Raptors possession!

The real race begins!

"Ding...... Vince Carter's demigod skill is reduced to level 3. Hidden Negative Effect: Reduced performance time by 1 level. Hidden trait untriggered trait: Focus Activate. ”

"Demigod Level 3: Speed bonus to 93, strength bonus to 80, forcibly block if you don't get fouled, the chance of smashing increases by 40%."

"Acting Moment Level 4: Bounce and Hang FlyVince Carter loves to show off his talent and feel for all kinds of performances, often with negative effects."

"Focus: When the talent wears off, Vince Carter finally begins to recognize the joy of winning and trying to win, Level 1 Effect: Focus on winning when you meet an opponent you think is worth fighting again."

I see! No wonder Carter's early and late career changes so much!

was ruined by Bowen's ankle, and Carter's demigod should have disappeared directly at that time, so after Carter fell from a trapeze who had been soaring in the sky to "mortal dust", not only was he not depressed, but he loved the game even more, and when he was about to retire after 20 years, he said the sentence "I don't even dare to think now that I would wear casual clothes every day in November".

Before this, Carter was intoxicated with his various anti-sky dunks and all kinds of magical three-pointers, and only when he lost those things did he realize how much he loved basketball and longed for a championship!

Keane Clark pushed in, and Raheem was originally going to defend Keane Clark, an opponent with poor projection ability, but Liu Mang defended it and pointed at Carter.

Raheem understood, and saw that Carter was no longer angry, but very calm, and understood.

After the tacit understanding is formed, with one look and one gesture, the three eaglets can understand each other's meaning.

Prevent Carter yourself? No! The effect may not be as good as the current Rahim, Liu Mang posted it towards Keane Clark, Keane Clarkma passed it to Carter, and Carter singled Raheem.

The rejuvenated Raheem defense is really good, and Carter's change of direction can't successfully break through!

Carter was not surprised, in the first half he had seen the changes brought about by Raheem's completely different defensive concentration than before, and at that time he also sighed that Liu Mang, a rookie, was like magic after joining the Eagles, everyone was getting better, and lamented why he didn't have such a new teammate, he used to have his own "Pippen", but the management was not optimistic and let the big cousin go.

Now Carter has focused on the game, not to think nonsense, not to break through, three points? In the first half, he had already made 3 of 10 shots, and the strong burst was also led by the nose by the opponent and sent to the block king of Ratliff.

Carter gestured, Antonio Davis blocked next to Raheem like a wall, Antonio Davis was previously blocked by Reggie Miller, the block was very porcelain, Raheem went around and Carter had already rushed to the free throw line!

Ratliff stepped forward, and Ratliffe's deterrent under the basket that this year's best defensive team probably can't run is really strong! Nearly four blocks per game have put a lot of pressure on Carter, who was covered a few times last time out.

So, Carter greeted Ratliff!

After drawing on Ratliffe's outstretched long arm, Carter retracted the ball in the air and shoved it behind Latliffe.

Olajuwon faces an empty basket!

When people are old and jump up and dunk, they still need to have a complete knee bending, and just when Olajuwon was about to jump up and dunk, he saw a guy wearing the No. 1 jersey rushing in three or two times!

It's so fast! How can this rookie be so fast! Olajuwon was a little vain, and all he could think of when he saw Liu Mang rushing in was Isaiah Thomas, the ridiculously fast assassin!

After all, being old is not as good as being able to jump as a young man, Olajuwon is worried about being capped, but his passing awareness has always been very good, averaging more than 3 assists per game at his peak, and in Carter's roar of "dunking him", he was a little stunned and accurately transferred the ball to Kean Clarke's hands that Liu Mang leaked.

Carter covered his head at the time, why is Olajuwon different from what he saw on TV when he was a child, and the defenders who bounce such a weak chicken don't buckle.

Keane Clarke received the ball, he also had a 31 percent three-point shooting rate, this year is considered a pitcher, halftime received the arrangement is to have a chance to make a decisive shot, chasing points to rely on team offense, so receive the ball and shoot.

"Bang"

Iron!

Ratliff turned around and jammed Carter and Antonio Davis, Ratliff was there, and the protection of the defensive rebound immediately increased several notches, and Muhammad rushed in to grab the rebound!

Olajuwon only reacted at this time, that rookie bounce is unlikely to be able to get the hat at all! It was my own mistake just now!

If you make a mistake, make up for it!

Olajuwon knew he was going to attack the offensive rebound and was no match for Muhammad, so he jumped up and poked the ball out of bounds.

The Eagles' counterattack was interrupted, and Liu Mang just passed half the court and turned his head to catch the ball, only to see that the ball was poked out.

Olajuwon's experience is not covered, and the Eagles rarely encounter this situation, occasionally when the opponent shoots out of bounds, it also pops straight out, rather than thinking of destruction.

Experience, Olajuwon used experience to successfully block the Eagles' defense, and the Eagles couldn't pick up the ball and serve immediately, this is a dead ball out of bounds, not a conversion of offense and defense after the goal.

There is an old family like a treasure!

Liu Mang came back to catch the ball and advance, looking at the situation, he could only fall into position.

is worthy of being a two-time best defensive player, and is one of the top five centers in history who can win the best defensive team 5 times in the eighties and nineties, even if he is old, but as long as the team is willing to use it and start from defense, it can still build a defensive system!

The Raptors' interior defense is tight, and Carter and Keane Clarke are both players with excellent physical fitness, especially Carter, if he defends seriously, he doesn't impulsively rely on steals when he wants to, although he doesn't have many good defensive skills, but his attitude is good enough, and the defensive effect is very good.

The Eagles didn't have a chance on the outside, so they could only give Rahim a single, but this time Raheem turned to the inside and greeted him with Olajuwon!

Watching a group of young people jumping around, playing so well one by one, especially on the Hawks' side, jumping up to grab rebounds when they saw themselves, Olajuwon exploded! Jumped up and hit the ball thrown by Rahim!

Antonio Davis, who has a keen nose for rebounding, steals the ball.

Hatted?

It can't be done, the Hawks retreated very quickly, and Raheem didn't scramble, so he hurried back to his own half and didn't give the Raptors a chance to counterattack!

The game suddenly reversed from this offensive and defensive round!

The first half was a crazy acceleration of the attack, the fans on the scene watched very highly, their own team was firmly ahead of more than 10 points, and everyone was looking forward to continuing to attack in the second half.

Although elsewhere, the Hawks are not very popular, but in Atlanta, the Hawks' new offense has brought back many fans who didn't want to continue watching the game because of the poor record after Dominic Wilkins left, and also attracted a lot of young fans! It's growing in popularity in Atlanta.

But at the beginning of the second half, the two teams were very tacit and changed the tone of the game at the same time, defense!

Fight to defend!

The iron rate of both teams has skyrocketed!

The Hawks averaged at least two points per minute in the first half, but their scoring efficiency plummeted as the second half began.

Of course, the Raptors are not much better, but this rhythm is good for the Raptors! They have a deeper lineup!

Halfway through the third quarter, the Raptors scored 14-8 in the first half of the third quarter and successfully closed the gap to within 10 points!

70-61, the Hawks only led by 9 points!

The key to this is that the Raptors play defense around the old dream!

Olajuwon played his best few minutes today since joining the Raptors!

Maybe the data is not good, but in terms of tandem defense and interior strategy, it is the key for the Raptors to gradually catch up with the score!

Coach Kruger calls a timeout!

Looking at the panting outside three eaglets, Coach Kruger realized that he had made a mistake!

Unexpectedly, the third quarter suddenly turned into a fierce positional battle! In this way, Jason Terry and Rahim, who played full in the first half, were extremely consumed!

If you keep playing, you probably won't be able to make it through the fourth quarter!

The personnel reserve is too poor!

If there is a player like Odom who can change from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position at any time and partner with Liu Mang, Coach Kruger believes that the team's potential physical crisis will be greatly reduced!

"Emmanuol, Chris, you play, Sherif and Jason, you get off, Ace ......" Coach Kruger wanted to replace all three eaglets and replace them with pure defensive substitutes to drag them down.

At this time, Liu Mang hit a physical potion and stopped: "Coach, I can continue to play and drag the score down!" ”

Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang, although he was panting and drinking energy drinks to replenish his water, he was still full of energy, of course, the sweat was still there, and he couldn't help but sigh that young people are good!

"No problem?" Coach Krueger is not a chattering person either, he asks very directly, and he will go on if there is no problem! If you have a problem, just sit and rest!

"Of course!" Liu Mang looked at Carter on the other side of the arena, that guy didn't seem to be going to rest! How can you coax yourself!

Really, to give a competitive Carter, who is also at the peak, and Olajuwon, who is basically about to retire, can play like this, if you give a top center in his prime, he has to do a big job!

This kind of competition is fun!

Sure enough, when the pause came back, Liu Mang didn't go down, and the opponent's Carter didn't end up!

When the two looked at each other's lineup before going on the court, they found that the other party had not gone down, looked at each other, and the game continued!

……

……

The two teams exchanged attacks with each other several times, and Liu Mang began to attack on his own because he didn't have the help of offensive teammates after coming on the field!

In the face of the opponent's iron bucket-like defense, Liu Mang mainly played blocking and dismantling crosses!

In response to the Hawks' pick-and-roll, the Raptors defended well, paying attention to the Hawks' passes, and blocking the pick-and-roll players as far as possible to not give Muhammad space to cut into.

Liu Mang chooses to shoot directly outside the three-point line, or he rushes in to make a foul, and his teammates after blocking and dismantling will pass if they successfully cut in.

This style of play with Liu Mang as the core, on the whole, the effect is not bad at this stage! The main thing is physical fitness!

Liu Mang was just like he had just come on the field, and he was still running at the fastest speed!

Liu Mang was another blocker, and then passed to Chris Crawford, Chris Crawford pretended to impact the basket, but was blocked by Olajuwon, Chris Crawford passed back to Liu Mang, Liu Mang paused and shook Antonio Davis, Ratliff turned to block Carter who was chasing back, and hit an easy layup!

This time, the Raptors attacked, they handed it over to the interior to play, and Olajuwon fell to the low post single!

Olajuwon's projection ability is very strong, especially inside and outside the three-second zone, he can throw the ball in the peak period, and it will affect his physical fitness when he is old, but the feeling will not be, but the older he gets, the more demonic he is! Olajuwon's highest hit percentage was not in the 80s, when he was young, but after he was over 30! As the number of shots decreases year by year, the hit rate is getting higher and higher!

When he came to the Raptors, Olajuwon was already disheartened, and the Rockets refused to even give him a pension contract.

But today, the dream footsteps are back again!

Dream footsteps, must have footsteps, feel two-in-one!

If it was Howard's kind, he would have fainted when he turned around, and the other party would not move.

But Olajuwon is different, he turned around and raised his hand after receiving the ball with his back, and Ratliff, who had learned about Olajuwon's peak tail shooting, flew! Olajuwon in a turn drags the ball into the basket!

Veterans don't die! Just waiting to wither!

Before Olajuwon withered, he was still able to show his god-level steps!

There is no Raheem who can defend inside and outside, the Eagles' interior defensive dominance has indeed declined greatly, even if Raheem was not focused on defense before, such a figure and speed bounce, he can still be a great threat on the inside!

The game continues!

The Raptors seem to have noticed that the current lineup of the Hawks, after the blocking, either only Liu Mang is shooting outside, or everyone in the Hawks is cutting inside, and there is no second outside pitcher!

Olajuwon has a keen sense of defense! The Raptors' defense began to change formations, blocking Liu Mang for three points, and the other three contracted the inside!

Liu Mang was very fast, so after the Raptors blocked and dismantled, the expanded inside line first forced Liu Mang to change direction and at the same time did not give Liu Mang a chance to shoot three points, and the blocked outside line rushed in directly to block Liu Mang's line that rushed backwards!

There was no way for Liu Mang, so he passed it to Emmanuol or Chris Crawford, and the two of them didn't have a score at all, and several could enter one.

On the Raptors' side, after Olajuwon showed his residual power, the Hawks' defense was forced to shrink, and Carter on the outside and Curry on the rotation opened up a three-point shot!

After the third quarter, the Raptors gradually caught up with the score!

At 82-78, the Hawks only had a 4-point lead left!

Moreover, the Raptors are in full shape!
