When jumping the ball, Liu Mang was neither ready to catch the ball and break the fast attack, nor did he plan to steal the fast attack, because this season is not the time when Ratliff lost the jump ball every day last season, Rashid Wallace and Bosh bounced and looked comparable, Liu Mang would rather win the jump ball steadily and advance to the position, and return to defense if he loses the jump ball, and seek stability at the beginning!

After the Pistons won the jump ball, Billups jumped up directly and held the ball in his arms, Liu Mang looked at Billups's movements and scolded him, like someone was going to rob you, and then followed Hamilton to start a long-distance run.

Liu Mang followed Hamilton all the time, he just didn't know what Hamilton thought, Billups hadn't even passed half the court, this new mask man began to run around inside the three-point line, Liu Mang had to keep up, to maintain the team's defensive position, can't be messed up by this guy.

Liu Mang knows that this is Hamilton's role, not only to score, but also to help the Pistons team with bad offensive tactics to disrupt the opponent's defense, and help teammates who are not good offensive to open up the situation, although Stephen Jackson and Bosh have the ability to attack with the ball, but in the Pistons system, they have no ball, only the right to shoot, because the Pistons need to press the rhythm, Billups is the rhythm master on the offensive end, Ben Wallace is the rhythm master on the defensive end.

Seeing Hamilton obviously running aimlessly, because the Pistons had not yet started their tactical run, Liu Mang had to run with Hamilton.

"Ding...... Trigger at level 5, the Pistons offset the Devils' home pressure, from Chauncey Billups. ”

Liu Mang ran with Hamilton, and his eyes were also paying attention to Billups who was advancing, to prevent Hamilton, he couldn't let him receive the ball in a comfortable position, so blocking Hamilton's receiving route was also one thing, although Billups's organizational skills were not top-notch, he could only be said to be excellent, but his mistakes were well controlled, and in general, the pass was very accurate, very accurate.

When Billups calmed down and pushed over, Liu Mang heard the system prompt, looking at Billups, who was more stable and mature than last year and entered his peak, Liu Mang felt that this guy had become a lot more confident when he came to Larry Brown's hands! You know, when he played the last two series with the Pistons last year, Billups had already collapsed.

But now, Billups is unaffected by the playoff sweep!

However, Liu Mang heard the difference in the system prompts!

The Pistons didn't become calm because of Billups' ability to control the court, but only offset the morale suppression of the roar of Tianzun on their side!

That is, the home advantage on his side has offset the aura of Billups!

This feeling is good!

Seeing Billups coming, the Pistons began to attack the run, mainly the running position of Hamilton and Bosh, Stephen Jackson except when he needs to play alone, the rest of the time is a two-wing shooter, that is, between two 45-degree angles to 60-degree angles, his three-point shooting rate is as high as 41%, so Raheem didn't dare to relax at all, and followed Stephen Jackson closely, The Pistons upgraded the starting small forward, who averaged only 5 points per game last year, to Stephen Jackson, who averaged 14 points per game by hitting two three-pointers per game.

Although Bosh is still a rookie, he averages 16+8 per game, the second scorer of the Pistons, Rasheed Wallace does not want to lose face on a rookie, this is a Christmas game, a game that basketball fans all over the world are paying attention to, and he is also very tight against Bosh.

Liu Mang devoted himself to the great cause of running around with Hamilton, and the Pistons began a simple and clear tactical run, that is, everyone went up to block and dismantle without the ball when Hamilton ran next to him, and this year's mobile blocking and dismantling penalty was particularly lenient, which was very beneficial to the Pistons' offense.

After Billups got to the three-point line, Prince came up and saw this tall and thin man coming, Billups changed direction to get a little break space, trying to force past Prince by force, just like in last year's playoffs.

But! Liu Mang dared to hand over the defensive task of defending the opponent's first scoring point in addition to the speed type to Prince this year, because Prince's defense this year has reached the peak of his career!

Prince accurately judged the direction of Billups' breakthrough after changing his direction, and blocked it, Billups wanted to squeeze away with his strength, but he couldn't squeeze it!

Billups forced Prince to break through, the three-point line was in, but he was suppressed by Prince so much that he could only go from the bottom line, although he was in the three-point line, but Billups was almost to the bottom line, and he was only at the distance of the free throw line!

Billups is careless! He didn't expect this guy who still played dismally when he reached the playoffs last year, and it has only been half a year, and his defense has improved so much!

But Billups didn't panic, kept his composure as the main player, turned to lean on Prince, protected the ball, and waited for his teammates to run.

At this time, Hamilton cut into the basket, Liu Mang followed Hamilton to the basket and was blocked by Ben Wallace, but Liu Mang was ready when Hamilton cut to the basket, and used his elbow against Ben Wallace to wipe it with a big turn, and continued to chase Hamilton.

Hamilton borrowed Ben Wallace to block and run back from the middle to the free throw line.

Hamilton felt that he had thrown Liu Mang away, turned his head to look, and was just about to stop to ask for the ball, when he saw Liu Mang following again.

And there's more!

Fortunately, at this time, Bosh just cut in from the left side of the basket and saw that Hamilton couldn't get rid of Liu Mang and took a step into the free throw line to block Liu Mang.

is worthy of Garnett's second, when blocking and dismantling, his footsteps are broken, and Bosh moves to block Liu Mang!

The Eagles will switch defenses immediately!

Rasheed Wallace immediately gave up chasing Bosh and switched to Hamilton, Hamilton saw the change of defense, and immediately got up again and ran to the right side of the Nets at a 45-degree angle, just when Hamilton accepted the second off-ball block, that is, Bosh's block, Billups had already begun to act, retreated to the bottom right corner, Prince was pulled to the bottom right corner, Hamilton shook off Rasheed Wallace and got a perfect gap in the middle distance of the 45-degree angle on the right side of the Nets!

Billups sent the ball over as soon as possible, and Hamilton received the ball and turned around and shot a mid-range jumper!

Long two-point hit.

This stability, there is no one else!

Liu Mang watched Hamilton run continuously for so long, and the speed and rhythm were still running in the speed change of rapid start, stop and then rapid start, and he could still maintain the stability of his mid-range shot.

95 of the pitch, probably the first in the league, is simply terrifyingly strong!

Thankfully, this guy will only hit the pitch!

Concentrate on tackling this point, Hamilton has practiced this point perfectly!

When Hamilton made a shot, the Pistons had already begun to defend themselves, and this year with Bosh, their power forward was upgraded from Clifford Robinson, who averaged less than four rebounds per game, to Bosh, who averaged 8 rebounds per game, and the small forward was upgraded from Michael Curry, who averaged less than two rebounds per game, to Stephen Jackson, who averaged 3 rebounds per game, and the rebounding ball has skyrocketed even better, at least not at the bottom of the league, and now ranks 16th in the league with 42 rebounds per game.

But most of the rebounds guaranteed are upgraded defensive rebounds, and their offensive rebounds are still in the bottom of the league, averaging only 10.5 offensive rebounds per game.

The Hawks, on the other hand, averaged 47 rebounds per game and ranked first in the league with 16 offensive rebounds per game.

The addition of Bosh and Stephen Jackson also made Ben Wallace fall out of the ranks of the rebounding kings, averaging rebounds per game from 15.5 per game last season to 11.7 per game this season.

Liu Mang watched the Pistons return to defense so decisively, there was no fast attack opportunity, and he also suppressed the rhythm, slowly advanced after receiving the serve, and waited for his teammates to settle down.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court, saw Hamilton defending in the top arc, facing Hamilton, whose defense was not so good, Liu Mang did not rush to attack, looked at the Pistons' defense, and felt completely different from last year!

The Pistons' defense is very different from the time when Carlisle was the head coach, Coach Carlisle also attaches importance to defense, but he is not good at it, he does not have a good defensive assistant, and the defense can only make the best use of everything, so that the best defensive players can defend the strongest opponent, without too many routines, under Larry Brown, Hamilton's strong physical fitness is used on single defense.

Hamilton defends himself, Liu Mang always feels tired! As long as you are not blind, you know that Hamilton will never be able to prevent himself! Even if he has good physical fitness, he is not a player who can be consumed by physical fitness!

Although you know that there are traps, you don't know what traps are if you don't try to get into them.

Liu Mang made a gesture and pulled away the singles!

The Eagles pulled away and took the defenders away, Liu Mang dribbled the ball to the three-point line, and as soon as he got close to the three-point line, Hamilton hit him fiercely!

Yes!

It's just a bump!

Hamilton directly used his thin body to hit Liu Mang oppressively!

Liu Mang was coldly forced back by Hamilton, and the referee didn't blow the whistle! Liu Mang knew that this was a hand-check, and the action that caused Hamilton to bump into the defense with his elbow was not a foul in theory.

Hamilton This is the first real one-on-one defense against Liu Mang, there have been occasional before, it is the time of misplacement in the running position in the tactics, there has never been a one-on-one single defense Liu Mang, seeing Liu Mang forced back by his own oppressive defense, he is very excited to continue to press!

But! Liu Mang took a step back, seeing that Hamilton continued to press the defense with his left arm, there was only one thought in his head, what did this guy think?

Liu Mang immediately grabbed the ball with his right hand and slammed into Hamilton's arm from bottom to top!

"Porcelain Touching Master Level 5 successfully triggered."

"Beep......

The referee was still hesitant to give the whistle, but when he thought that this was the home stadium of the Eagles, the whistle sounded immediately! Hamilton hitter foul!

Hamilton, who is in the midst of excitement, seems to have been struck by lightning! Seeing Liu Mang pat his hand that was hit, looked at the ball rolling on the ground, and the referee compared the action of a thug to himself, and then made three free throws towards the technical table, he was not good!

This guy is going to compete for the scoring title! Why is it still so despicable and shameless!

Liu Mang doesn't care if he is despicable or not, shameless or not shameless, hand-check is indeed very conducive to the Pistons' style of play after having Larry Brown, a head coach at the level of a defensive master, but the rules of shooting cylinders are too beneficial to Liu Mang! For him, making fouls to make the opponent's defense not stick so tightly is part of his offensive threat!
