106. Cavalry tactics reappeared
9-14, the Eagles got off to a bad start and replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Newbell, and Muhammad.
Amid the boos of the Portland fans, Liu Mang appeared on the stage.
In the eyes of Portland fans, the Lakers are equal to Kobe and O'Neal, about equal to Kobe, and Liu Mang is compared with Kobe Bryant's rookie period, and then about equal to Kobe, about about equal to Kobe, about about equal to the Lakers.
Lakers?
Fuck it!
But Portland fans must not have expected that their boos made Liu Mang more confident!
Then whoever says it well, the more afraid the opponent fans are of you, the more they will boo you with greater boos!
Liu Mang came up after the task is very heavy, up is to rush to overtake the score, the Eagles journey to the west for 5 games, do not win three of them, it is difficult to guarantee that they can continue to stay in the top four in the East, such as the Trail Blazers, a strong team that has gone into decline must win.
Liu Mang advanced to the front court amid boos, and just after half the time, the flying squirrel came up to defend.
Just like Liu Mang who is not afraid of losing his position by relying on his speed advantage and sticking to the defense at will, the little flying squirrel Stoudemire has always relied on speed to play, and the standard is short and strong, only one meter seven or eight, and he is still tall in shoes.
"Damon Stoudemire, Ability 77, Offense 82, Defense 68, Strength 70, Speed 96......"
I have to say that this kind of defense is a headache, Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry, who came up to answer.
In the pre-game preparations, the Eagles made targeted preparations on the offensive end, but the starters were not able to play their own characteristics, and it was useless to prepare.
Liu Mang, as the best scorer on the bench, also has a change in his playing style.
Attack without the ball!
The first two scorers can't play without the ball, because the other people's organizational skills and scoring ability are very average, and they can't complete the role of opening up space to attract defense.
But Liu Mang's second lineup after coming up was different.
The lineup that the Trail Blazers came back after a timeout to become Flying Squirrel, Kobe Bryant Terminator, Ruben Patterson, Pippen, obese Rainman Sean Kemp, and Rasheed Wallace.
Jason Terry singled Ruben Patterson with the ball in the top arc, Liu Mang ran around with the flying squirrel, and Chris Crawford blocked Liu Mang without the ball, the Trail Blazers chose to switch defenses, and next to Liu Mang was Pippen.
Really!
Liu Mang saw the opponent's change of defense, and the pre-game prediction was right! Even if the Trail Blazers change their head coach this year, the characteristics of the defensive end in the previous years are still there! It's just to change the defense when you encounter a block!
In previous years, when Pippen was not that old and Davis could still play 40 minutes a game, switching defenses when blocked was the biggest and most effective defensive feature on the Trail Blazers' defensive end.
But now, Liu Mang saw that it was Pippen who changed the defense, and immediately made an emergency stop and then rushed up, bypassing under the basket, Muhammad blocked Pippen, and Liu Mang was completely empty when he ran to the bottom corner on the right side!
Rashid Wallace and Sean Kemp stared wide-eyed, as if wondering why didn't you go out and make up the defense?
Jason Terry really wanted to pass the ball well, and when Liu Mang just passed the ball in the bottom corner, Liu Mang received the ball in the bottom corner and shot it three-pointed!
"Huh"
Unguarded three-point hit!
When the Hawks had two muskets on the outside that could be called god pitchers in this era, the Trail Blazers didn't dare to shrink the four! This allows Liu Mang to make good use of his teammates' off-ball blocking!
The Trail Blazers attacked, and Pippen pushed in and passed to Sean Kemp, who was in the basket to get to the position.
Newbell looked miserable, how to prevent this big lump of meat!
Sean Kemp, nicknamed the Rain Man, was a violent dunker in the early stages of his career who was no less than the future Blake Griffin, and was named to the All-Star Team and All-Star starter many times, but after the last suspension, he became a big fat man, just like another SuperSonic's interior lineman, Vinn Baker.
The rain man who came to the pioneer has completely become a meat ball, unable to jump at all, slow and poor in physical fitness.
But the meat ball has the advantage of the meat ball, that is, his ability to eat alone has become stronger than ever! Let him run slowly, to get to the position, to receive the ball, it will be difficult to defend.
Newbell basically couldn't make a substantial resistance when he was knocked under the basket by the Rain Man, who turned around and threw a small throw......
Newbell hit the opponent's arm the moment the Rainman made a shot, and the tactical shooting foul!
Rain man, dunk general, inside muscle man, poor shooting is the norm.
The Hawks took the initiative to send the Rainers to the free throw line!
Trail Blazers head coach Maurice Cheeks has a bad premonition.
Rainman hit both free throws, Muhammad protected the rebound, and immediately passed to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball while running and continued to rush!
The other four Eagles also rushed up!
Liu Mang took the lead in rushing into the three-point line, and at this time, the extremely fast flying squirrel followed, blocking Liu Mang's fast counterattack.
Liu Mang's speed was slowed down by the pressure of the flying squirrel, and when he entered the three-second zone, Kobe Bryant's terminator Ruben Patterson had already caught up.
But this is exactly what Liu Mang wants, Liu Mang jumped up and passed back to the top arc, this time the return was unexpected by the three outside players of the Trail Blazers, Pippen tried to run back to grab the rebound, and the three players who ran back to the Trail Blazers were all accepted!
Pippen had excellent defensive awareness and immediately reacted to the scheme, but the deterioration of his body prevented him from playing his excellent ball quotient!
Pippen turned and ran outside, but Jason Terry, who received the ball, chased after him with a three-point shot that went straight to the basket!
15 to 14!
The Eagles' second lineup came up in less than a minute before they overtook the score by one point!
"Cavalry tactics! It's cavalry tactics! Is that damn college coach really going to play this trick? "Trail Blazers head coach Cheeks is incredible!
It's a madman coach! He's as crazy as that old man from the Mavericks!
The Eagles' previous cavalry tactics of occasionally fighting a dozen have already made a name for themselves in coaching circles, or Coach Kruger has made a name for himself in coaching circles.
The first is to become the best coach favorite, which will definitely make many coaches uncomfortable, a rookie coach is actually the top two candidates for the best coach!
In addition, Coach Kruger's bold employment strategy, actually giving a second-round rookie the power to fire almost infinitely, which is even crazier than a mad scientist!
Just as Coach Cheeks had a bad premonition, the Hawks came up and targeted a very big weakness for the Trail Blazers.
is the two main interior lines in the Trail Blazers' rotation lineup, one is the fat version of the Rainman, and the other is Dale Davis, who has been replaced, for these two people for different reasons but the problem is the same - poor physical fitness and slow movement, and began to target the offense!
Speed! Pick up the speed and run down the two heavy interior meat piles with the largest tonnage and the greatest defensive intensity on the inside line of the Trailblazers!
