283. It's right to fight like this!
After resting for too long and his hands were cold, Raheem and Jason Terry came up and hit a few irons in a row, but thanks to the Jazz's offense, they pointed at Marshall, and they were overtaken without three or two hits.
In the sixth minute of the final quarter, the Jazz chased the difference to 72-77!
The Eagles call a timeout! At the same time, the time was about the same, the timeout became an official timeout, and there was plenty of time to arrange tactics.
Watching Marshall come up in less than half the quarter, he has already scored three three-pointers, and Marshall, who scored 31 points in the first three quarters, has now scored 40 points!
And Liu Mang, who is determined to do things, only scored two points in the last quarter, that is, he has only scored 37 points in the game so far!
Nima!
Only then did Liu Mang understand why many first-line scorers did not have a few 50+ points in their careers, and some even never scored 50 points in a single game in their lives.
It's so hard!
It's much harder than you think! It's not that the strength is superior, the ball is in hand, and the opponent is a rookie.
The Jazz's current defense is to slam up whoever holds the ball, especially Liu Mang, who will be caught with the ball!
Seeing that the score was about to be caught up, Liu Mang gave up the idea of continuing to score 50 points in singles, and it was important to win.
If this game is lost, even if their teammates don't say anything after the game, after all, the Hawks have a good atmosphere, and it doesn't matter if they lose one game or two, they are several wins ahead of the Nets and Pistons in second and fourth place with 43 wins.
But Liu Mang can't accept it!
I can't accept losing because I want to score points!
Marshall, in particular, has made 11 three-pointers, tying the record of 11 three-pointers made in a single game set by Magic legend Denis Scott in 1996! This made Liu Mang, who is also the league's top three-point player and ranked third in three-point shooting this season, very unhappy!
Also care about the 50+ of yarn!
Coach Kruger also had a headache about Marshall, who was ridiculously accurate from three-point range today, shooting 11-of-17 from three-point range.
How did this happen?
"I'm running fast! I'm going to defend Marshall! Liu Mang recommended himself.
Coach Kruger thought about it, as if this was the best way, the pitcher was most afraid of sticking to the defense, and although Marshall was two meters and six, his speed was okay and his running position was also very good, the team only Liu Mang and Jason Terry could keep up, and Jason Terry was only one meter eighty-eight, it was difficult to interfere with the opponent, and it was as difficult as the little assassin jumping up and not even touching the arm of the opponent's big forward.
"OK, Ace, Marshall is handed over to you, and there is a very important point, you can't fall into position! You can't let the advantages of the opponent's big center come into play, and they all run up and play! Bring the rhythm up! Press the defense! Fight back! ”
Coach Kruger waved his hand, and the final decisive battle came!
……
The timeout came back and the Eagles attacked.
Speed!
Liu Mang received Jason Terry's serve, and the two moved forward quickly, Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, and it was DeSean Stevenson who came up to defend it.
Stevenson is good at defense and three-pointers, it can be said that he was born at the wrong time, if put in 15 years, he is definitely the sought-after 3D gate of each team, and the effect of defending scoring guards between 1.9 and 2 meters is excellent, and his famous work is the 2011 Finals and the 2009 Wade scoring champion season Wade defended Wade to only 5 points in a single game.
Stevenson was a rookie in 2000, and at only 20 years old, he was already very good defensively, a natural defensive giant.
After Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, he didn't wait for his teammates to run as Stevenson thought, etc., Liu Mang broke through directly to the middle!
This unreasonable style of play directly passed Stevenson!
Stevenson hurriedly chased after Liu Mang, Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line, Ostertag is really high!
With a height of two meters and one eight, you can touch the rebound while standing!
Liu Mang strode out, before Liu Mang attacked many times by relying on the change of rhythm and stride shooting to score, the Jazz team was very jealous, but in the fourth quarter, most of Liu Mang rushed in after passing, watching Liu Mang grab the ball and want to throw it to the left side of the basket is about to rush in Muhammad's action, Stevenson immediately went to make up for the empty Muhammad under the basket.
Liu Mang made an incredible move that made the Jazz feel incredible, he had already thrown the ball out with the ball in his hand, and actually took the ball back again, stepped out again, bypassed Ostertag and threw the ball to the rebound!
"Bang"
"Huh"
Hit the board!
After the ball was scored, Liu Mang immediately pasted it towards Marshall!
After the goal, the Eagles quickly returned to the defense, leaving Jason Terry to press John Crody who was on the serve, and Liu Mang pressed Marshall to paste it, and it is hard to say whether the effect is good or not, Liu Mang is very positive.
It is easy to press the opponent's speed to press the defense, John Crody passed the ball to Kirilenko, Rahim also went up to Kirilenko, intercepted Kirilenko in the middle line, Kirilenko looked at his teammates, Liu Mang was in front of Marshall, Marshall's strength was greater than Liu Mang without suspense, and Liu Mang pushed Liu Mang away with an elbow, but Liu Mang looked like he was going to die, which made Kirilenko very worried that Marshall would be stolen, This is completely a shadow cast by Liu Mang's All-Star Weekend on the impression of invincibility of his peers.
John Crowdy was sticked, Marshall was looped forward, and Ostertag was basketed...... The big white bear still doesn't say it, except for the sophomore and third-year playoffs when Ostertag was still on a rookie contract, O'Neal became famous and got a big contract of 40 million for 6 years, and he was pitted at other times, and the defense was okay, so big tonnage and interior area, but the offense was ...... His career-high season so far is averaging 5.7 points per game, which is far worse than his rebounds.
Moreover, Ostertag has just run through the middle line, and it is difficult to settle for such a large tonnage.
Of course, Ostertag is very good if he can get stuck in position and receive the ball high, but the key is that he can't catch the ball either.
Kirilenko himself was so pressed by the opponent's strongest defense that it was difficult to dribble, and there was only one person left, DeSean Stevenson, who was defended by the opponent's power forward, and Kirilenko Ma passed to DeSean Stevenson, hoping that Stevenson would stabilize it, and wait for Ostertag to settle down, and then play team offense to create a three-point opportunity for Marshall, Marshall is the key to the Jazz team having a chance to catch up by more than 20 points at halftime!
But well...... There are always so many people who are so confident, looking at a big forward who defends themselves, so slow, DeSean Stevenson shoots directly with a horizontal three-point move!
Marshall has made 11 three-pointers, and Stevenson, who is also a three-point shooting guard, has long been unable to hold back!
As a shooting guard, Stevenson has a good choice when facing opposing power forward defense...... But...... He's just a catch-and-shoot pitcher! And the center didn't fall into position, and the basket was the Hawks' Muhammad......
DeSean Stevenson confidently made a three-point shot, hit the iron, and the rebound was collected by Muhammad!
When Stevenson made a move, Liu Mang immediately let go of Marshall and hurried, and Muhammad passed to Liu Mang!
At this time, most of the Jazz players were still in the half, Kirilenko and John Crody quickly struck towards Liu Mang, Liu Mang passed to Jason Terry on the other side, and Jason Terry rushed into the Jazz three-point line!
Kirilenko and Marshall caught up with Jason Terry, Liu Mang passed the ball and cut to the basket without the ball in his hand, Liu Mang's explosive speed advantage of 94 was highlighted! Jason Terry threw the ball to the right side of the basket, and Liu Mang rushed in for an open dunk to smash the ball into the basket!
Cut 4 points in a row!
81 to 72, the difference is 9 points all of a sudden!
Liu Mang excitedly bumped his chest with Jason Terry to celebrate.
Really!
It's better to play normally!
Liu Mang deeply reflected on his wrong choice.
Score, let it be! It's naturally good to have 50+60+, but if you don't have it, you won't die, and because of the score, you lose the game that you must have won, so you want to die!
Isn't it much easier to score as a team like this than to hold the ball alone?
Liu Mang's own score is also 41 points, but he doesn't think about this now, he will come by himself if he has the opportunity, and his teammates will come if he doesn't have the opportunity, the main thing is to win!
The situation on the court has changed again, and the Hawks are now like the Jazz, pressing defense, and physical contact has suddenly become stronger!
The most desperate is Ostertag, who just ran into the opponent's three-point line and immediately had to return to defense, and as soon as he returned to his own three-point line, the opponent had already scored, and he was about to attack again......
