The first goal is not very obvious, and the second ball is visible to the fans.

Then thinking of the biggest flaw of the two strongest interior lines in the league today, fans gasped.

Not because of this defensive strategy, but because of ...... This thick shameless style, Popovich can't do it!

At the beginning of this game, the first ball started to slash the shark continuously, which really made Popovich unable to do it!

The head coach of his own team is the Georgia Tech Jackets, and the style is familiar to everyone, and he definitely doesn't know how to do this.

So......

Looking at the rookie who didn't blush and didn't panting...... It's good to be your own!

Liu Mang and the Eagles don't want to cut Duncan badly, the Eagles didn't stare at the cut after sending three shooting fouls, this kind of thing is okay to try sharks, it is Shi Lezhi as a regular tactic.

At first, Nelson Sr. created this tactic to force the opponent's strong single player not to dare to hold the ball, and to limit the tactic invented by O'Neal.

Although it was later used by McHale and Rivers to cut Capela and Jordan Jr. into a slashing tactic, a blind coach and a chicken soup coach really have no tactics to use, and can only cut sharks to each other, completely failing to reflect the main purpose of the shark slashing tactics.

The inventor of the shark cutting tactic is the old Nelson, but the most used is Popovich in the two or three years at the beginning of the century, mainly by using the shark cutting tactic to destroy the rhythm of the Lakers' offensive end, although the rhythm of his own side has been disrupted, but the Spurs' tactics at Duncan's peak are Duncan's singles, no matter what rhythm he doesn't have, it's just just up, just forget it, anyway, the chances of winning are not big, as long as the Lakers are not happy.

Cutting sharks is not to win, and there is really no team that can win O'Neal by cutting sharks in a series, mainly to make O'Neal not happy.

This is also Liu Mang's purpose, they can't let Duncan get through!

Coach Kruger felt a wicked look, Coach Kruger looked at Popovich, and the two coaches looked at each other, both snorting arrogantly and parting their gazes.

A person who secretly curses meanness in his heart, and a person who secretly curses meanness in his heart will indeed meet even more shameless people one day.

On the Hawks' side, it's not all about deliberately cutting Duncan, although Duncan's free throws are not good, but it's still a little better than O'Neal, 61 percent is still better than 55 percent, and it's really like Popovich who gave O'Neal more than 30 free throws in a game, or Magic who gave Howard 39 free throws, how much revenge! I can't do it.

As long as it's not Duncan's shot, the Hawks defend normally, even if Parker starts to show his talent, and David Robinson is very sharp on both sides of the double after the pick-and-roll, and the Hawks play normally.

Just don't make Duncan feel good.

In this Spurs, who are old and young in sports cars, the offensive end pointed to Duncan to chisel out the bag, and the others took the opportunity to score.

Duncan, who was expressionless, was broken down in his heart at the moment, this tactic was too shameless! Halfway through the first quarter, he made a successful shot! The other six made two of the free-throws.

This is a problem that the Spurs are quite difficult to solve, and the Spurs have encountered the Lakers' tragedy in the playoffs in recent years, and the main problem is that they do not have a second point at the level of a star!

But the biggest difference between Duncan and O'Neal and Jordan Jr. and Capela is that in addition to ball skills, it is more of a ball quotient, Duncan did not continue to ask for the ball after being fouled by the Shark and restricted his shot, but went to block and dismantle without the ball, and responded in the high post, with David Robin and Parker who can impact the basket, can divide the ball and pass the ball in the bottom corner, the Spurs' offense is okay, not so bad.

And the Spurs' defense is really strong, with Duncan inside, a general on the defense, and Bowen on the outside, thanks to Raheem, this point is quite inexplicable for the Spurs, there are mid-range shots that can hit the back and fall low, it is difficult to defend at medium and close range, and Jason Terry, who has been shooting terrible recently, the Hawks played a 16-11 start in more than half a quarter.

5 points ahead of the Spurs at the start!

The Spurs called a timeout first, and just as the time was up, the referee turned the timeout into an official timeout that lasted longer.

The fans were so excited!

5 points ahead of Spurs at the start!

Since the 1997-1998 season, the Hawks have lost eight consecutive games against the Spurs, except for the 98-99 season, when the two teams only met once, and each other season was a two-game regular season loss, and they were swept every year.

Not only that, but even the number of times they have led the Spurs in these games is very small, and every time they are abused, it looks like there is something wrong with it!

……

Popovich's face was gloomy, before the troika, his tactics were all around Duncan, Duncan pulled to the high post, had a good mid-range shooting ability, pulled the basket into the air, and shot to his teammates, the effect was okay, but compared to the Hawks' two All-Star forward combinations who could shoot suddenly, it was not so effective.

The main thing is that there is still no one, and Popovich has not yet developed the later Spurs system, so he points to Duncan alone.

At this time, Popovich really couldn't think of any good way on the offensive end, and if you really want to say that Popovich has only been the head coach for five or six years, he is far from the historical coach in the future, and at this time he began to hint at the players: "You have to play more angrily!" Elevate the confrontation! Don't let the other person get so close to the basket! Defend! Elevate your defense! ”

If you want to say that a team's playing style is dirty, it definitely has a lot to do with the head coach!

……

On the Hawks' side, Coach Kruger looked at a 5-point lead and had to keep it!

Then you have to come to something different, something that the other party will never think of, and you can't predict it......

Close the door! Let the hooligans goss!

In fact, there was no need for Coach Kruger's orders, when it came to the timeout, Liu Mang ran to the court to find the ball and shoot to find his touch.

Coach Kruger had an inscrutable expression on his face, and he was actually thinking...... How will Liu Mang fight today......

He didn't know what Liu Mang would do when he went up, so he was very confident, and the opponent would never think of how his side would fight next.

……

Popovich replaces Steve Smith and David Robinson.

Steve Smith, and the Spurs' failed reinforcement last summer, the All-Star of that year aged too fast, last year he could still average 15 points per game, and this year he averaged only 10 points per game, and they all said that Popovich's low-cost contract in the future is very bullish, all of which are the experience accumulated from the dividends brought by Duncan in the early years, and the Spurs have not given garbage contracts in the past few years at the beginning of the century.

Replacing David Robinson as a power forward is one of the Spurs' double viscera Marrick Rose, who is the second-round pick of the 96 golden generation, was selected by the Hornets, after the first year of the 97 rookie contract ended because of the style of play, he often had conflicts with his teammates in training, the Hornets refused to implement the team option, no one wanted him to be favored by Popovich, and later followed the Spurs to win three championships, contributed a lot, after the Spurs won the championship in 05, From the Knicks to a five-year, 40 million contract and only played eight minutes per game, he played Durant as a substitute for one year in the last year before retirement, teaching Durant a lot of defensive skills.

Replacing Steve Smith was Antonio Daniels, the No. 4 position of the Grizzlies' parallel goods in 97, who played a year and was sent away by the Grizzlies with a second-round pick to give away the 4-year, 10 million contract, although he didn't make a name for himself, but he relied on his ferocious defense and was very popular with Popovich.

Marrick Rose, Bowen, Daniels, the trio is on the court, and if the Spurs' old rivals are on the court, they will immediately start to hurt when they see this combination.

The Eagles brought on a regular rotation of Mang Liu, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell and Mohammed.

Pause back.

Duncan saw Liu Mang coming up, just like seeing a relative!

The Eagles are so annoying, and the only player Duncan has a good impression of the Eagles is Liu Mang.

The reason is because of Liu Mang's big brother before the game......

“Big-brother-Deng”

Liu Mang was called Duncan like this before the game, translated into Chinese is Brother Deng, and the English word for brother means big brother.

Although he doesn't have the momentum of a big brother or a shelf like a big brother, Duncan still has a big brother heart!

After a timeout, the Spurs attacked.

Parker pushed in, and Liu Mang defended it.

"Yo, Tony, long time no see!" Liu Mang greeted warmly.

Parker is so embarrassed, do you want to answer?

Liu Mang is so enthusiastic, and he is quite easy to talk during the All-Star Rookie Game, and the relationship between Parker and Liu Mang is not good, but it is not bad.

But this is a game, so it's embarrassing to say hello...... Huh! I'll go!

Parker hurriedly guarded the ball, and while he was thinking nonsense, Liu Mang reached out to steal.

Parker still controls the ball properly, Liu Mang watched Parker protect the ball and return to the defensive position stupidly, this French sports car is too alert!

So despicable! Parker's perception of Liu Mang is clearer.

"Tony Parker, 70 Ability, 79 Offense, 60 Defense, 57 Threes, 69 Shots, 88 Layups, 95...... Speed"

Looking at Parker's more and more stable style of play, and after half a season, he has improved a lot, Liu Mang is so resentful, these geniuses are really improving too fast!

It's so unpleasant, Liu Mang pressed up towards Parker and pressed the defense!

"Don't be like that, brother!" Parker was taken aback by Liu Mang's sticker and hurriedly passed the ball to Daniels.

Although Parker is a little faster than Liu Mang, he is certainly not as fast as Liu Mang in holding the ball, and in the face of this guy who can score 50 points in the All-Star rookie game, he immediately passed the ball out.

Daniels can't play as a starter, but it's still okay to play off the bench, and when he plays as a bench for General Arenas in the future, he is at his peak, averaging 10 points and 4 assists per game.

Good physical fitness and technical good, which is why Daniels was selected in the No. 4 position in 1997, except for playing a bit of a wave......

Daniels took two steps and couldn't shake off Jason Terry, and met Jason Terry's mid-range pull-up jump shot!

"Bang"

There was not much suspense, Duncan was entangled by Mohammed and Newbell, did not fight, turned back to the defense, and Raheem pressed Marik Rose to grab the defensive rebound.

The counterattack can't be played, except for Marrick Rose, who is impacting the rebound, everyone else has already returned to defense, and the goal is clear, so they left Marik Rose, who has a strong rushing ability, to delay the counterattack of the Hawks to win the rebound, and others, including Duncan, have no chance to impact the offensive rebound, and immediately return to the defense, so as not to let the Hawks' small lineup fight back.

Liu Mang received Rahim's ball and slowly advanced, and glanced at the stinky face on the sidelines that others owed him a million, this old fox.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, Rahim has been in good shape recently, relying on his increasingly strong offensive ability to contain the defense, more and more assists, and wants to hand it over to Rahim, but Rahim is not dominant in the competition for positions with Marik Rose! As if he were in a fight, Marik Rose played with Rahim for his life.

Foul it's it! And it's a double foul!

Liu Mang watched as Rahim and Marik Rose both put their arms around each other's necks, but the referee ignored them......

Well, Liu Mang came to the three-point line, it was Daniels who came over, and he had a vicious face, Liu Mang just took a step outside the three-point line, Daniels pasted it, Liu Mang took the opportunity to the right side and wanted to use the opponent's sticking too tightly to wipe the opponent, suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the stomach, the legs were soft, and the ball was almost snatched away by the opponent, so quickly protect the ball and take it back!

This bastard!

Liu Mang looked at Daniels's hideous face as if he was smiling, and wanted to punch it!

This disgusting guy, when Liu Mang and him were very close and were about to accelerate, took advantage of the fact that the two of them were close to the referee's visual blind corner and gave Liu Mang a punch in the stomach!

Margot!

Can't be fooled! The other party just wants to provoke himself by pairing!

Liu Mang beckoned to block and dismantle, and while Daniels was blocked by Newbell, he rushed straight into the inside.

Can't you hide if you can't provoke it! Playing is not purely physical and dirty, the brain is also very important.

Liu Mang went inside, Raheem and Jason Terry pulled out after Liu Mang came in, and Mohammed was also on the middle distance of the baseline and ready to rush in for an empty pick-up.

Only Duncan is left under the basket, Liu Mang plunges into the inside, Duncan's defensive awareness is too good, super static physical fitness, using arm span, excellent movement ability, the kind of space grasp that everything is just right, Liu Mang feels that he will be capped down no matter from which angle after entering the interior line.

So, Liu Mang also wanted to go sideways, and crashed into Duncan, throwing his right hand!

Really!

Duncan accurately predicted the angle of Liu Mang's shot and reached over to interfere, although Liu Mang tried to avoid Duncan's left hand and threw it, and the ball was ridiculously crooked.

However, Liu Mang's goal was accomplished, he hit Duncan first before throwing the ball out.

The referee's whistle blows, Duncan defends the foul!

Duncan's side, just now he felt a little excited in his heart that he was prevented, as for the moment when he was hit by Liu Mang, well, it's almost the same as tickling, why is it a foul!

Duncan glared at the referee, his eyes wide open, and a murderous aura that was not angry and arrogant permeated.

Suddenly, Duncan felt Liu Mang's gaze looking at him, and suddenly took back his vicious gaze and smiled at Liu Mang......

That smile...... It seems that he wants to express his friendliness, because Duncan thinks that the referee made a mistake and has nothing to do with Liu Mang.

Liu Mang saw Duncan's smile and thought of Duncan's classic photo......

"Beep......

Suddenly, the deputy referee behind Liu Mang blew the whistle and made a T gesture to Duncan!

Duncan was still expressing his kindness to Liu Mang, when he suddenly heard the whistle, and looked up to see where the accident was going on, which of his teammates was going to fight with the other party again? Don't! It's good for everyone to play happily, why do you want to fight, why do you have to make so much trouble, people want fans, they want to be big stars......

Forehead...... Duncan saw that the referee pointed to his side after making the T movement, obviously, Duncan felt that the T was not for Liu Mang, who was standing and preparing for the free throw......

That is, I was blown for a technical foul?

"Watts?" Duncan looked at the referee with an incredulous expression!
