1397. Long-cherished grudges
The first in the fourth quarter was actually Hinrich!
With the same excellent qualities as Blake, Hinrich is not intimidated at critical moments!
Players like Stockton, Hinrich, and Blake are very mediocre in appearance, and they wear a red vest and a hat for him, and they are like porters.
But they are tough at the critical moment!
Just like Blake's shot at the beginning of the third quarter, whether he scored or not, he felt that he should do that and threw one first, Hinrich also felt that he should do something about this, when he first entered the NBA, the template was Stockton, and now there is a pass that is exactly the same as Stockton.
Offense and defense switched, and the Eagles attacked.
The opponent scored, and the counterattack couldn't be played, Liu Mang advanced to the front court with the ball, and distributed the ball to Jason Terry after blocking and dismantling with Maddie.
Jason Terry shook off Hinrich and made a long two-point shot from the high post......
Miss!
Marion has made a contribution this time!
When Kwame Brown blocked Ben Wallace and was unable to compete with another super rebounder with a rebounding rating of more than 95, Marion actively slapped the ball out, and Maddie grabbed the ball and shot a mid-range jumper......
Hit!
61 flat!
When it came to the Bulls' offense, Garnett didn't ask for the ball directly in the first three quarters, he received the ball after blocking and dismantling, just now Hinrich threw a mid-range shot, this time Liu Mang defended Sinrich more tightly, Garnett didn't come up to block and dismantle, and directly leaned on Marion's back to ask for the ball on the left side of the free throw line.
Hinrich hoisted the ball over, and just as Garnett was about to receive it, Marion stretched out his long arm and stabbed the ball first!
Fortunately, it was Luo Erdeng who actively rushed up from the sideline, picked up the ball first, took advantage of the chaos of the situation, went around to the middle, and scored two points with a jumper outside the free throw line.
When it came time for the Hawks to attack, Liu Mang was in the key defensive position of the Bulls, and no matter where he went, he could feel the opponent's "malice", but this time Maddie successfully broke through the interior and scored two points with a backhand layup.
Garnett and Liu Mang, the absolute core of the Bulls and Hawks, both faced extremely targeted defense at the start of the fourth quarter.
The Bulls obviously saw that Liu Mang threw out his hand in the second half of the third quarter, and Liu Mang's second three points in this game were thrown at the end of the third quarter, and the hand felt quite smooth, so the fourth quarter focused on preventing Liu Mang.
Garnett's side also closed the offensive end in the first three quarters, afraid of being fouled by Liu Mang after changing the defense, and now when Garnett wants to attack, he doesn't play blocking and dismantling, and is ready to play directly in the middle range frame singles, but Marion defends this very well, Garnett has to be strong, and there is also Kwame Brown's supplementary defense on the inside, in the strongest lineup of the Hawks, except for Jason Terry's poor defense, the other four positions are very good defensive players, Garnett's side was targeted, and there was no good opportunity at the beginning.
However, the teammates of the two cores stood up one after another at this time.
Raul Deng and Hinrich beside Garnett, Marion and Maddie next to Liu Mang, stood up to help the two cores share the pressure!
This really surprised Liu Mang, this is the first time they have played with the Bulls this season to the "attack point"!
The so-called attack point is similar to the critical moment, but it is not exactly the same.
This point in time is a key time for the test of the attacking ability of the stars of the team.
Just like now, the Hawks relied on Maddie and Marion to bite the score, and the Bulls relied on Hinrich and Rohr Deng to bite the score, and the two teams were deadlocked, but the main personnel of the two teams to bite the score were not the first scorers of the two teams, and the first scorers of the two teams were now struggling in the face of each other's strict defense.
It's up to the top scorer to adapt to the defense first!
If the previous competition in terms of technology and tactics and the competition in terms of rhythm were the Eagles at a disadvantage, but once the Eagles passed that stage and entered the time point where they now needed to attack the fortifications, the Eagles had the upper hand!
In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang went around to the bottom right corner, got rid of the defense with Marion's active and self-conscious off-ball blocking, and turned around in the right corner after receiving a pass from Maddie!
Only three shots in the full five minutes, the three chances were not very good, Liu Mang, who did not score a point, hit a three-point shot when the team needed someone to open the situation, helping the Hawks to 71-67, stretching the difference to 4 points!
The 4-point difference is the biggest lead of the Eagles in this game!
With just a minute to go before the official timeout, Bulls head coach Skels resisted the idea of calling a timeout and got through the time first.
When it came to the Bulls' offense, Garnett saw Liu Mang shoot three points and wanted to return one, he took the initiative to mention the top arc to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, he dribbled like a guard and made a jump shot outside the free throw line......
Marion interfered well, sticking to Garnett from before he received the ball, and Garnett couldn't shoot from the back!
Kwame Brown beat Ben Wallace to defend the rebound.
Ahead! And with the ball in hand, there is an advantage!
Coach Kruger has been standing on the sidelines since Liu Mang's three-point shot in the last round, with a feeling of restlessness, seeing Garnett shoot iron, Kwame Brown got the defensive rebound, and punched the air fiercely, blocking the Bulls for three rounds in a row, stretching the difference to four points, and having the ball, the next thing to do is to stabilize the situation!
Just when Coach Kruger thought that with Liu Mang's smart brain, he would definitely know what to do now and the importance of stability, Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang advance to the front court, took a step through the top arc, and threw it directly......
Seeing the back of Liu Mang's three-point shot, Coach Kruger sprayed: "Vakeyu!" Ace, you're really ...... That's amazing! ”
After scoring a three-pointer, there is a little chance to definitely throw the second one, which is Liu Mang's instinct.
In the last round, after Maddie and Kwame Brown blocked and dismantled, they split the ball to Liu Mang who blocked and dismantled Marion on the off-ball side and threw three points, the key is not only that Liu Mang ran out of position and threw it, but Maddie and Kwame Brown attracted the defense, and Maddie successfully distributed the ball to Liu Mang in the bottom corner of the basket on the other side of the crowd, which is the key.
The Bulls thought that the Hawks would also play team offense, and when they retreated, the first thing they put out was to prevent the Hawks from blocking and dismantling the high-level formation, but Liu Mang, who seized the opportunity, threw a three-point shot directly and hit it directly, and Hinrich didn't have time to pounce!
74 to 67, the difference was stretched to 7 points!
At the sixth minute and nine seconds of the fourth quarter, the Bulls called a timeout!
The Eagles laid a seven-point lead before the official timeout!
……
Win!
Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in the middle of the final quarter, scored 8 points and 4 boards in the final quarter, and scored 30 points, 12 boards, 3 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals...... and the stat of 6 turnovers, which was the key to the Eagles' victory.
The Bulls defended the Hawks in the last quarter and the Hawks defended well, Marion's enthusiasm grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, which is impossible to prevent, Marion was good at this, and Maddy's 8 points in a single quarter was also very good.
The key to the Bulls' hatred was Liu Mang's two three-pointers in the middle of the fourth quarter.
In the first three and a half quarters, Liu Mang only shot 2 of 11 three-pointers, but those two three-pointers were too deadly.
Originally, when Liu Mang made the first three-pointer in the fourth quarter, the Hawks could consider starting to play conservatively from that time, anyway, the Bulls did not have players who could attack.
But Liu Mang was stunned to make a wave, expanding the score difference to seven points, and then playing conservative play, which was much more stable.
As the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, relying on Liu Mang, who played 48 minutes, shot 9 of 28, and scored 30 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks, the Hawks defeated the Bulls away with a score difference of 85 to 79, 6 points, and successfully took revenge!
Garnett got to the time he needed to attack and did little on the offensive end, which was key to the Eagles' victory.
Again, it also shows that the Eagles are extremely lucky in this game!
It just so happened that Blake's brilliant breakthrough gave Liu Mang the idea to adjust the rhythm, and did not let the Bulls, who had the upper hand in the second quarter, continue to expand their advantage in the third quarter, dragging the game into a stage that requires offensive ability, and giving Liu Mang the opportunity to establish an advantage in the middle of the fourth quarter.
So in this game, Liu Mang felt that he was too lucky to win on his side.
However, a win is a win!
Seeing a large group of high-quality role players on the Bulls' side, but when it came to the critical moment, they couldn't find a player who could give a fatal blow, Liu Mang had a more intuitive understanding of the Bulls' flaws.
How to take advantage of these shortcomings of the Bulls, Liu Mang doesn't have a particularly good way, there are too many coincidental factors that can drag it to that situation this time, of course, if you can seize these opportunities, the premise is that the Eagles themselves play well enough!
At least Liu Mang made it clear how to have a chance to win the bulls, three very simple points.
The first point is not to blindly defend with the Bulls, you must have confidence in your own style of play, don't be worn out by the slow pace of the Bulls, throw it at the speed of speed, even if the opponent continues to press the rhythm, don't be too deeply affected.
The second is dragging! If you can't beat the Bulls to death with a stick at the beginning, then drag it out and don't let the difference be pulled apart by the other side.
Third...... It's the crucial fourth quarter! Liu Mang's own offensive ability is the key, and how much help his teammates can give is also the key, Maddie and Marion gave Liu Mang strong support in the last quarter, this time it was Maddie and Marion, and the next time it may be Maddie and Jason Tree, anyway, you always need the help of your teammates, playing a strong defensive team like the Bulls, it won't work alone.
……
With the win against the Bulls, the Hawks' record improved to 39-16, ending a difficult first half of the regular season and finally ushering in a small vacation.
Looking at a group of crazy teammates, Liu Mang took a sip of milk to relieve the discomfort of drinking a few glasses of spirits just now.
When the whistle blew for the end of the game against the Bulls, at the Union Center, the Hawks players celebrated in the away arena as if it were the New Year, and the opponent's No. 21 star kept shouting for the staff to kick the Hawks players out.
Got three consecutive wins to end the journey before the All-Star weekend, the Hawks players were very happy, and Coach Kruger also made it rare for the players to indulge, Chicago, the third largest city in the United States, the nightclub is much more brilliant than Atlanta, and Liu Mang was also pulled to have a few drinks.
After giving face to his teammates, Liu Mang left the nightclub first and took a taxi back to the hotel.
After taking a shower, Liu Mang leaned on the sofa, and after talking to the girl, he opened the system panel and looked at a few new task prompts.
"Because the host led the team to successfully take revenge on the Chicago Bulls, the negative buff wolf fear failed, and the Fury of the Wind Chaser series of missions: the iron-blooded tough guy is here again."
"Iron Guy: Objective 1: The host needs to lead the team to victory in the next game against the Chicago Bulls, and Mission Objective 2: The host needs to score at least 30 points in a single game in the next game against the Bulls. Reward: Trait: Warcry Level 1. Defeat penalties: 1. If you play the Bulls in the playoffs, the host must perform a bullfight dance before the start of the home game; ”
"Warcry Level 1: Exclusive to Kevin Garnett's trait, when Kevin Garnett hits a wonderful shot roar, if the host successfully responds and roars after hitting a wonderful shot, it can trigger a warcry, with a more than ten percent chance of canceling the negative impact of the roar on the host team and suppressing the roar on Kevin Garnett's teammates."
"Matador: Whenever the host encounters the Chicago Bulls, the opponent will strictly defend the host, which greatly curbs the host's performance."
"The grudge has been completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining Kevin Garnett's 20062007 Season Star Card, and the mission is upgraded: The Grudge is triggered."
"Long-cherished grudge: The host and the Chicago Bulls are in a mortal enemy situation, and the mission is waiting to be started."
Looking at this bunch of tips, the previous interviews, team celebrations, and nightclub hilarity, Liu Mang didn't have time to watch these because of the trouble, and now he found out...... Somehow, he's already a mortal enemy with the Bulls!
Liu Mang felt that he hadn't done anything!
Prior to this season, the Bulls and Hawks were no rivals at all.
Liu Mang himself didn't feel how much the Bulls were worthy of his "hate", and the rest of the Hawks, Liu Mang didn't feel that they had a tendency to target the Bulls.
The joy of winning this game is due to the Hawks' recent 13-1 insane performance, ending the All-Star weekend game with a winning streak, and of course happy.
The Hawks, for their part, don't see the Bulls as mortal enemies, the Hawks have been the biggest winners in the past three years, and there is no time to take a Bulls team that has been rotten for many years and has a rise from the top of the Garnett.
And the Bulls obviously hated the Hawks, which made Liu Mang very puzzled.
They've played each other twice this season, with both teams winning one game each, so what do the Bulls have to hate?
"There are always people who want to harm the master, alas...... There are too many such people in this world, jealous of the beauty and talent of the young master...... "Liu Mang came to the bathroom, looked at his prosperous beauty in the mirror, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself......
