337. Is Ace a Malone fan?

Liu Mang wants to make fouls, there is a gap with the future king of Jingdezhen, Porcelain Deng's body is too strong, Liu Mang can't rush in to make fouls like him, and can only rely on speed, flexibility and shooting to cheat fouls.

So brainstorming is needed!

Just now, the head coach inexplicably called him out of the locker room and asked a word, and then let him go with a strange face, Liu Mang felt a little inexplicable.

Regardless of him, Liu Mang found Jason Terry and Rahim, the two No. 3 and No. 1 free-throwers on the team, and asked them about their foul-making skills.

Within the Hawks, Raheem made the most free throws in the regular season, averaging 7.6 per game, Liu Mang was second, averaging 6.3 per game, and Jason Terry was third, averaging 4.6 per game.

It's all about the birth of a rookie......

"Making a foul? Rushing inside, they can't stop me, they can only pull me down, and I play like this when I don't feel good and I don't have a chance to dunk and make a layup directly......"

Hearing Rahim's words, Liu Mang decisively ignored them.

It's amazing! It's amazing! The style of play is amazing!

"Me? If the opponent's defender doesn't get thrown off when I catch the ball and shoot, I'll pretend to shoot and wait for the opponent to jump up and dodge before shooting, and if I don't have an angle, you will crash into him......"

Did you make fouls or did you learn it from the master?

Liu Mang didn't feel that he had gotten anything useful from these two teammates, and sure enough...... Lonely and invincible! This is the ...... that can make fouls. Not a single one can fight!

Although I asked the two star teammates and didn't get any good advice, the Hawks scored 4 double-doubles, Raheem with Liu Mang's average of double-doubles per game, a little lower than the inevitable decline before the All-Star weekend, an average of 23.3 points per game, but he was also happy, there was nothing to complain about, they were all All-Star starters, and the best team was the favorite.

After Jason Terry and Liu Mang got up, the score went up, averaging 22.6 points per game, in addition to Liu Mang's average of 19.6 points per game, there is also Muhammad's daily 11+10.

That is, there is no other scorer to ask.

Well, though, Liu Mang got a hint from Jason Terry.

If you hold the ball and make a foul, the opponent must be prepared, so let's play without the ball!

Catch the other person off guard!

……

……

Coming back in the second half, the two teams continued to play the main role, and neither wanted to take the lead in the third quarter, which was the easiest time to lay the foundation for victory and defeat.

Generally, strong teams, if they are not the Lakers, have established the advantage in the third quarter, and it is the norm to open up the point difference in one fell swoop.

The Eagles were replaced by Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell and Mohammed.

The Trail Blazers fielded a lineup dominated by the main force, flying squirrels, Ruben Patterson, Pippen, Bunch Wells, Rasheed Wallace!

Originally, the third quarter was supposed to be Pippen's rest time for the whole quarter, and then come up in the fourth quarter to play the key moment, but Coach Cheeks didn't expect Pippen to ask for the third quarter! This is not in line with the impression that Pippen, who is now the number one in the health philosophy, has given Coach Cheeks almost a season after taking over the Trail Blazers this season.

So far this year, Pippen's playing time has dropped to a new career low, averaging 28 minutes per game.

Originally, Coach Cheeks wanted to send the main lineup in the third quarter as the outside combination of Flying Squirrel, Kobe Bryant Terminator, and Stick, but Pippen wanted to play, and Coach Cheeks thought of the Hawks' cavalry company lineup, so he had a whim to put Bunch Wells, who played similar to the big forward, to the big forward, and let Rashid Wallace play the center!

Coach Cheeks is only in his 40s, a former NBA player, a 76ers legend, a '83 championship, an All-Star starter, a three-time All-Star bench, and a Hall of Fame player on the five-time All-Defensive Team and a four-time All-Defensive team.

Coach Cheeks' only championship ring was snatched from the Magic.

Man is a strange creature, and what he doesn't have always feels the best and wants.

At that time, Cheeks, who was also a point guard and played opposite the Magic, was very envious of the Magic's gorgeous offensive play, instead of his height of 1.85 meters, he had to defend the opponent's strongest outside line and really became the best defensive player at the point guard position......

So after retiring, Coach Cheeks turned down a large number of offers from Eastern teams, came to the Western offensive team to find a job, and was about to make the playoffs.

Seeing the Eagles' original five-small lineup, Coach Cheeks had a whim, and did what he said.

After the start of the second half, the Trail Blazers attacked.

Looking at the lineup of the Trail Blazers, the Hawks were a little dumbfounded, the opponent's lineup was much smaller than their own side! Three less than two meters!

Who is the power forward?

Pippen?

When Punch Wells sat in the low post and leaned against Newbell for the ball, Newbell felt humiliated and pushed it hard...... I didn't squeeze it!

After receiving a pass from the flying squirrel, Bunch Wells carried Newbell and slammed into it, but Newbell didn't block it! Bunch Wells turned and cut into the basket and slammed the ball into the basket before Mohammed could get on the fence!

Poor cool brother, humiliated!

Maybe there is really no focus on the defensive end, and he is also arguing with the management for a 10 million contract, and the season is almost over and has not been renewed in advance, but Bunch Wells is too strong on the offensive end!

It's like a poor man's version of Charles Barkley! With a height of 1.96 meters, he has no loss in the position of a big forward!

"Yes!"

Coach Cheeks on the sidelines shook his fist vigorously, and he was one of the representatives of passionate players when he was a player, and he never suppressed his positive emotions.

And it worked!

Playing a small lineup, there will always be a perfect opportunity for one of the two inside lines on your side!

The Hawks' rough and grumpy defense is always good, and it will be difficult for Rashid Wallace and Bunch Wells to play him, but if Ratliffe is not there, then another power forward who comes up will definitely not be able to stop this practice inside, which is what Coach Cheeks thinks.

Not only did the offensive end play fiercely, but the Trailblazers' lineup also returned to defense quickly, and Liu Mang had just received the ball from Muhammad, and the opponent had already passed half the court.

After waiting for Jason Terry to come over, Liu Mang handed the ball to Jason Terry and went to play without the ball himself.

Although the Trail Blazers are fierce in offense and quick to return to defense, defense under the basket is a problem.

Liu Mang pulled to the bottom corner of the left side, and after the left basket Newbell came over and frantically and Bunch Wellska, more than a dozen centimeters taller, after Newbell grabbed the position on the edge of the three-second zone, Jason Terry immediately passed the ball, Newbell turned and played high and scored easily.

You've got explosiveness, buddy has height!

The next round was about the same as the previous one, and Bunch-Wells scored again in the low post.

When it came to the Hawks offense again, Liu Mang still gave the ball to Jason Terry, and Newbell asked for the ball again in the low post.

Fans didn't expect that the crucial third quarter of this game would turn into a confrontation between two supporting power forwards!

Liu Mang continued to squat in the low position on the left side, at this time Reuben Patterson, who defended Liu Mang, had already rushed into the bag, Brother Ku deserved to be Brother Ku, cool represents calmness, although he was super angry and was violently deducted by the opponent's single just now, but after he returned one, he no longer continued to be greedy for scoring, and the ball was distributed to Liu Mang in the empty corner of the corner for the first time, and Liu Mang slashed with a knife in his hand.

At this time, Coach Cheeks' whimsical style of play came to the loophole, the Eagles' cavalry company can play defensive counterattacks, first of all, there must be defense, Newbell and Muhammad are both defensive focused players, and they can't guard Bunch-Wells because he does hold it, and Duncan can't prevent him at his peak.

But how many teams have a power forward like him in the low post? The league's top power forwards are all floating and shooting, and Newbell and Muhammad can quickly serve and counterattack if they don't shoot.

And the other interior of the Trail Blazers, Rasheed Wallace, was leaning against Muhammad on the other side of the basket like that, and he didn't go to help defend anything, just staring at him with wide eyes.

Without the supervision of Sabonis, the big brother, it was really difficult for Rashid Wallace to be active in defense, and it was okay at the beginning of the season, as the season deepened, he stood like that, and this year Rasheed Wallace has fewer technical fouls, just because of the lack of dissatisfaction with being blown fouls when actively making up for defense.

Rasheed Wallace has only 21 technical fouls so far this season, which is much higher than last season's 32, last season's 40 NBA all-time record, and last season's 37 NBA all-time second.

But don't worry, he'll be promoted as soon as he meets a team that emphasizes defense......

……

Because the Trail Blazers are also a small lineup, the rhythm of the Hawks has changed and it has become a landing position.

Playing in the low post, the opponent did not have a big center, so that the Hawks ate an addition, Raheem and Newbell, two with back play, took turns to come to the low post and wreaked havoc, playing, the Trail Blazers' defense was forced to shrink, Liu Mang got several three-point opportunities, and the shooting rate was also very high, and he played 3 of 5 three-pointers for a few minutes in the third quarter.

This made it extremely difficult for the Trailblazers to chase points, and the difference in points not only did not narrow, but came to 14 points, and it is about to break through 15 points!

When it came to the Hawks attacking again, Liu Mang still handed the ball to Jason Terry and waited in the bottom corner himself.

This time it was Raheem's turn to play singles, the Trail Blazers changed defenses, and the more tonnage Bunch Wells came to defend, the big stick Bunch Wells weighed more than Pippen, who was seven or eight centimeters taller than him, and it was not just luck to wreak havoc in the low post in the playoffs, and he was too lazy to defend the outside line, but he was very focused on defending the low post.

However, Raheem weighs ten kilograms more than Bunch Wells!

As soon as Raheem got the ball, the Trail Blazers' defense shrank in.

Raheem immediately divided the bottom corner Liu Mang, Liu Mang picked up the ball and wanted to throw!

Pippen had long been very unhappy to see that Liu Mang had been shooting three points, and pounced on Liu Mang, Liu Mang shook a shot, and Pippen flew up!

Not good!

Pippen saw that Liu Mang was just swaying, thinking that he was going to lose another three points, and Liu Mang couldn't interfere at all when he moved sideways to shoot at this time.

This time Pippen jumped much higher than usual, which was originally a happy thing, but now he regrets it because he reacted too quickly and jumped too high and too anxious!

But is Liu Mang the kind of person who will shake others off and then move sideways to shoot?

Of course not!

Liu Mang has always been the kind of tough guy who dares to face the dripping blood!

Liu Mang did shake a shot and then got up again, but not towards a place where there was no one, but towards Pippen in the air!

Before he hit Pippen, Liu Mang's scream of "Ah ......" had already been screamed, Pippen couldn't dodge in the air, Liu Mang bumped into Pippen and threw the ball to the basket a few times, and threw it directly.

The referee's whistle blows!

Three-point foul!

The bald Crawford was so helpless, he despised Liu Mang and despised it, but the referee blew the penalty in strict accordance with the rules, they watched the game differently from the fans watching the game, only looking at the action, not looking at anything else, and a foul is a foul.

Watching Liu Mang walk to the free throw line, Pippen walked to the sideline with his head in his arms, and at this time Coach Cheeks was about to replace Pippen, when suddenly Pippen heard something: "Rashid, your team's pension is about to leave the court, how many free throws did he give me?" 8 of them, I really want to thank him, right? ”

Rasheed Wallace was "focused" waiting to grab rebounds, although he has not rebounded much, mainly because after he came to the Trail Blazers, there was a diligent and huge Sabonis card position, he only needed to pick up the rebounds after the two-meter-21 tall and more than 130-kilogram Sabonis stuck in the position with his teammates, and now he has to grab the rebounds by himself, which is a little unaccustomed.

At this time, Liu Mang suddenly spoke to him, and Rashid Wallace thought that this was really the case, and then couldn't help laughing.

As for what laugh Rashid Wallace was poked at, Liu Mang didn't know, he didn't expect Rashid Wallace to love what kind response he would give in the game, this guy was very "unkind" in the game, Liu Mang just wanted to stimulate Pippen who was off the court, and wanted to force him to play quickly.

Unexpectedly, Rashid Wallace burst out laughing.

And, smiling and smiling, he inexplicably glanced at Crawford, who was very decisive in blowing Pippen's foul four times......

Rashid Wallace's smile is a little cruel in the obscene, a little heroic in the ruthless, and the feeling of being heroic in the end is still deeply obscene and mocking......

This kind of smile is similar to a fool No. 21 who retired, who did not want to be named, only to find out that he had been cheated of 25 million US dollars by his agent......

As a result, Liu Mang's long-awaited technical foul on a certain evil No. 21 by the bald Crawford did not appear, but appeared at this time.

"Beep"

Referee bald Crawford whistled and made a T gesture at Rashid Wallace, technical foul!

Rashid Wallace's smile froze on his face......

"Ah...... Ha...... Ha...... Yes? "Rashid Wallace couldn't believe it!

Staring at the referee and going up to theorize, but the bald Crawford was afraid that he couldn't help but give a T to the technical desk to confirm the foul, and Rashid Wallace was just about to scream loudly when Bunch Wells covered his mouth.

The Trail Blazers players were really tired enough to get fouled to stop Rashid Wallace from getting fouled.

The fans at the scene were originally cheering for Liu Mang, Liu Mang in this game in addition to the 9 free throws sent by Pippen, plus the other 5 free throws, this game has created 14 free throw opportunities.

Although it is shameless, the fans have also become thick-skinned, and they should cheer.

Can even laugh be blown for a technical foul? This is the same feeling that Liu Mang gave to fans when he heard that Duncan was whistled for a technical foul because of laughter.

At this time, Rashid Wallace and the bald referee came to such a show, and although the fans were surprised and stunned, they wanted to laugh! What to do, although I want to hold back, I think it's rude, but I just can't help it!

……

The cheers of the audience turned into a noisy vegetable market, all discussing and laughing about this technical foul, and Pippen on the sidelines was angry again!

With his mind declining, he strongly asked himself not to be replaced, he wanted to go up and continue to fight!

The opponent ridiculed, his teammates laughed and was whistled for a technical foul, how could Pippen endure it!

Liu Mang's three free throws turned into four free throws, his free throws felt really good today, all four free throws, plus the previous 11 free throws, Liu Mang has hit all 15 free throws today!

Only halfway through the third quarter, Liu Mang has already scored 13 points in a single quarter!

And the scoring continues!

When the rookie feels good, Raheem and Jason Terry are happy to give him the ball, the Eagles trio are never jealous of each other because of the number of shots and high scores, the rise and success of the three is together, willing to lose occasionally because of each other, or occasionally increase the ball, whoever feels good will give it to whomever wins, winning is the last word.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Trail Blazers took the lead in switching to center Dale Davis, and Coach Cheeks' whim failed.

The Eagles also replaced Latliffe for Newbell, and the two teams continued to grind their ground.

Liu Mang made another successful foul, which brought a lot of vigilance to Pippen, and this vigilance made Pippen's great defense today become hesitant, with Dale Davis on the court, the Trail Blazers were not afraid of Raheem going to the low post to play singles, and the success rate of Raheem was not high when he was crowded inside, so the Trail Blazers did not need to shrink the defense.

This made Liu Mang, who was without the ball, although he shot three points and was defended very tightly by Ruben Patterson, but Liu Mang was a little hesitant to cut the basket under Pippen after blocking and dismantling, for fear of being fouled, Liu Mang received the ball and made a layup under the empty cut basket 3 times in a row, and he had 19 points in a single quarter!

It was time for the Hawks to attack again, with more than two minutes left in the third quarter, the score was 96-78, and the Hawks led by 19 points! The Hawks had another game with a super-high scoring that only comes when they play an offensive team in the West.

Seeing that after chasing a quarter of the game, the score difference was about to be stretched to 20 points, the key is that Pippen saw the statistics of the rookie on the big screen, and it was already 19 points in a single quarter, which made Pippen unacceptable!

Successful tactics always have to continue to play, Raheem holds the ball high on the left side of the free throw line, Liu Mang goes around the top arc from the bottom corner of the right side, and then borrows the off-ball blocking of Ratliff who pulls out to block and cuts into the inside, Rahim quickly divides the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang throws off Dale Davis who came out to change the defense and rushes into the inside, at this time there is only Rashid Wallace under the basket, Rashid Wallace has no desire to help defend at this time, otherwise such a big man will also bring some pressure to Liu Mang, It will not be the previous three consecutive back-run baskets and direct layups.

Rasheed Wallace's current co-defence ...... Similar to a certain 23 at the age of 33? It's almost crossed.

Pippen couldn't accept Liu Mang to score again, and rushed over to block Liu Mang, who had already jumped!

This time the cover came a little insidiously, and it came up from behind Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang said that you are a little, and the master has been paying attention to you for a long time! You're finally here! I've waited three times to hit the basket, and the fourth time is still waiting for you!

Liu Mang had already noticed it when he jumped up to the basket, and leaned lightly behind him when Pippen pounced to block it, following Pippen's strength to pounce......

Another familiar shout, another familiar whistle, Pippen explodes on the spot!

After Liu Mang hit two free throws again and stretched the difference to 20 points, Pippen really blew up.

Pippen didn't play badly, in addition to too many fouls, he performed extremely well in the second and third quarters on the offensive end, if it weren't for his 13 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, the point difference would have been pulled by the Hawks' crazy offense I don't know how big, in the third quarter due to the whim of Coach Cheeks, which led to Liu Mang's opening 5 3 three-point shots enough, those three three-pointers in the small lineup is a little more than two minutes.

Pippen, who had 27 points and 13 assists before the third quarter, didn't know how he could do better, he wanted to be sideways, he wanted to single Liu Mang and return Liu Mang for a foul!

I can't hold my breath!

Pippen directly wanted to serve and push himself.

Seeing Liu Mang who was outside the three-point line, Pippen sneered.

Liu Mang is also ready to defend, today Pippen because of the manic potion showed too strong, if it weren't for the overall defense of the Trail Blazers because of the loss of Sabonis would have been unable to compare with last season, let alone last season, Pippen has the opportunity to lead the Trail Blazers to win with this peak tail strength.

Pippen faced Liu Mang and burst from the left!

Although Pippen is not left-handed, he has specialized in breaking through on the left, because his substitute at that time was a left-hander who inspired him to break through on the left side.

Liu Mang has been defending Pippen several times in this game, just because it's too awkward! I really haven't encountered such a breakthrough trajectory.

Liu Mang tried his best to stick to Pippen, but that awkward feeling made him rush a little too much and pounce on his head!

Liu Mang secretly screamed that it was not good! At this time, Pippen can turn around and change direction to break through from the middle without interference!

Why does the defense always block the middle and let the opponent's breakthrough hand enter from the baseline?

It is because the breakthrough in the middle will face the reasonable collision zone, and it is difficult for the people who help the defense under the basket to give real interference in the help defense, and most of the dunks are not blocking the opponent who breaks through head-on.

The bottom line breakthrough is relatively farther away, and it is easier to give the inside line time to prepare for the defense.

Pippen, of course, made a split second decision to change direction!

That's it!

Pippen suddenly felt weak in his legs!

"Ding...... The effects of the manic potion are over, and Scott-Pippen's stamina is reaching a critical point. ”

Pippen's mind wants to change direction, but his body can't bear it anymore!

If it is at its peak, such as the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old Pippen, who used manic drugs to support the whole runaway, there is nothing wrong with it, but Pippen is already thirty-six...... It's been an hour in a manic state, and I'm exhausted!

Pippen changed his body and couldn't keep up with the shot, and he almost fell to the ground, and the ball came off!

Liu Mang turned around and picked up the ball and counterattacked!

At this time, Pippen pulled Liu Mang!

"Beep"

The referee's whistle blows, and Pippen counter-steals and fouls!

Not only that, but there are still doubts about this ball, that is, the two people who are extending the free throw line, especially Liu Mang, who picked up the ball and stepped out of the step, are there any other defenders in front of him, if there is, it is an ordinary foul, the number of fouls by the Trail Blazers has arrived, two free throws.

If there is no one, it is a physical foul!

But anyway, Pippen Six is guilty!

Liu Mang was still worried that the difference was already 20 points, and then Pippen would not defend him, and whether Pippen, who had committed 5 fouls, would continue to stay on the court, because if Pippen was replaced, the rest of the Trail Blazers would definitely be replaced, which meant that the Trail Blazers were ready to give up this game.

I didn't expect Pippen's sixth foul to come like this!

It's really shit luck!

The referee is watching the replay to determine whether it is a physical violation or an ordinary foul, and has not yet made the gesture that Pippen is going to be sent off, which is professional and rigorous, which is the NBA's practice.

It's a pity that there was no physical foul, Jason Terry was too aware of running back, and took the little flying squirrel to run over first, and the little flying squirrel's head happened to be higher than Liu Mang's.

So it's just an ordinary foul, because the number of fouls has arrived, Liu Mang walked to the free throw line again!

16 free throws! broke Liu Mang's previous record of 15 free throws in a single game!

Flattered!

Liu Mang looked at Pippen who was sent off the bench by the referee and was sent off, although he was a little embarrassed, Liu Mang still said loudly: "Hey, Scotty, the postman is at work today!" ”

Those who heard this voice were surprised, this ......

Depend on!

Ace is actually a fan of Malone!

No wonder it seems that Pippen has been making fouls all the time today!

Fans recalled that Pippen's six fouls were all played by Liu Mang alone!

This is really perverted!

Pippen was also surprised, this product is actually a fan of Malone? It's even more annoying!

Malone is also one of Pippen's hated players!

The fans at the scene passed ten to hundreds, anyway, Liu Mang is a fan of Ma Long, and the matter is "solid"! Otherwise, how could such a thing be done!

But...... It seems that in the previous news interview, Malone hated this rookie!
