The Eagles, for their part, redeployed the strongest existing lineup.

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell, Mohammed.

Without too many words, everyone understands that Liu Mang came back to win the game! Needless to say, winning is all that matters! Morale is high on the Eagles' side!

The same Knicks refused to let it, admittedly, for his teammates who injured Liu Mang, even Alan Houston, who was unhappy with Liu Mang and Liu Mang, felt guilty, even if he didn't like Sprewell, and he had always drawn a clear line, except for the club's games, there was basically no communication, but it was always a team, one glory and one loss.

But a race is a game!

Coming back from a timeout, the Hawks possessed the ball.

Seven minutes into the second half, the Hawks scored just nine points!

54-66 behind by 12 points, and the pressure on Liu Mang was also great.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the front court, and Witherspoon, a short forward of 1.98 meters, came to defend Liu Mang.

Fans who often watch Rocket games in the Da Yao era probably have an impression of this player, the No. 9 show in 92, O'Neal's classmate, although only 1.98 meters, but the shoulder height is very solid, the neck is very short, the head is very small, the shoulder height is the same as that of a person with 2.0506 meters, and the muscles are very strong, fast, rebounding, and can also change guards, and can get 5+4 data in an average of 13 or 4 minutes per game during the Rocket period.

It's a pity that it's a little brittle, and I haven't worked all the time in my career so far.

The Knicks can't do it anymore, and the one who works hard defensively and can defend against speed-type point guards is actually a short forward who usually plays big forwards.

Liu Mang breaks through!

Witherspoon was shaken away at once.

Liu Mang's iconic retreat snipe!

may have been opened by Sprewell's throat, Liu Mang hit the first three-pointer of the game!

came up and scored a three-point, which gave Liu Mang huge confidence! 4 points in the first quarter, 8 points in the second quarter, plus this three points, Liu Mang scored 15 points.

When I came up, I narrowed the difference to within 10 points.

But it's too early to be happy, and it's more important to defend!

The Knicks attacked, Liu Mang began to bite Alan Houston's defense, Raheem went to defend against the powerful Witherspoon, and Jason Terry followed Mark Jackson to defend three points.

Liu Mang is back, and he doesn't have to defend against Spreville, so Alan Houston's nightmare is here!

Like a shadow that can never be shaken off, Alan Houston felt that despair again after half a season.

And even more desperate!

This rookie's anticipation of movement, more strength than when he first encountered, and seemingly faster speed, Alan Houston's mood now is as desperate and helpless as Hamilton was when the Wizards played the Hawks!

The players who have piled up the Knicks' money strategy are still full of talent, except for being a little older.

Mark Jackson is now relying on accurate passing to brush up assists, and last season he accidentally surpassed Oscar Robertson to become the fourth in the all-time assists list, and so far this season, there are only about 200 points left with the Magic, and he still has two years left on his contract, and surpassing the Magic is a natural thing.

However, Mark Jackson's sharp breakthrough shot that could end Stockton's assist king when he was young is gone, of course, he can still send the ball to that teammate as soon as he runs out of the scoring opportunity, but the blocking ability is basically like that, looking at the first scoring point Alan Houston can't run out of position, then the second and third shooting points will definitely not be able to have gaps because the defender has to make up for it.

But rich is good, there are many people! Witherspoon pulls out the ball for a single.

Witherspoon has a certain ability to play alone, relying on a strong body to kill the basket is very good, because he often plays a big forward, the small forward can't stop his strength, and the real big forward can't keep up with his speed.

This time, however, Witherspoon met Raheem, who was fully focused and calmed down by the defense, and the speed of each person increased, and he couldn't hit it.

Raheem is a true power forward, with a small forward pace, and Witherspoon forced a break and missed.

Raheem turned and went inside, Mohammed and Newbell blocked the opponent's two insides together, Rahim grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it directly to Jason Terry, who was fast!

Like the one who said it......

It's back!

It's all back!

Liu Mang returned to the court, and the fluency of defense to offense is all back!

The Knicks are now very focused, Jason Terry counterattacked and was caught up by Alan Houston and Witherspoon, who returned to the defense for the first time, but this is exactly what Jason Terry wanted, he took the initiative to take on the role of counterattacking and holding the ball, because he knew that his hand today was lost by the previous high confrontation, and Liu Mang seemed to feel very good when he came back.

After fully taking the defense away, Jason Terry passed back to the top arc, and Liu Mang followed up with a three-point shot!

"Huh"

Again!

The Knicks are not a strong defensive team, the first wave of defense was taken away by Jason Terry, and Liu Mang's follow-up shot opportunity was too perfect!

60 to 66!

After Liu Mang came back, in just one minute, the score difference was chased to 6 points!

The exaggerated speed of chasing points, as well as the Hawks' sudden new defensive pressing and rebounding protection, as well as the smoothness of the transition from defense to offense, are not at all the same team as before!

With this strong sense of oppression, the Knicks players finally tightened up their desire to win because of Sprewell's evil offense, and they were beaten to a bit of a collapse in three or two hits.

This is really the gap between the first place in the East and the twelfth place in the East!

It's the Knicks offense again, and still no one can open the situation.

There is one more who can keep up with Alan Houston, and the Hawks can guard against the Knicks all of a sudden!

The role of a pitcher is sometimes not to score, but to care about his defensive containment, such as Alan Houston, Hamilton, and other frightening mid-range pitchers, often their biggest role is not to score, but to force other defenders to make up for the defense and create opportunities for teammates after they run out of the open space.

If they are the offensive core of the team, their scoring is never the most important thing, the most important thing is to use their threat to help their teammates have better scoring opportunities from a different perspective than the playmaking offensive core.

But now Alan Houston is closely followed by Liu Mang, and the blocking and dismantling can't create a gap, and Liu Mang can keep up with the blocking and dismantling.

Seeing that Liu Mang's blood seemed to be surging because of excitement, and the strangulation marks on his neck became more and more bright red, and the bruises complemented each other, Alan Houston said that he couldn't play!

At this time, the Knicks players began to miss Sprewell again, and if he was there, at least there was someone who could open the situation up by playing alone!
