Auburn Hills Palace, good place, when I got here, Liu Mang thought of an interesting thing.

After the pre-match events such as the release of the American Empire Anthem, the game was about to begin, and the starting lists of both teams were played on the big screen and in front of the audience.

Playing the Pistons, a team that has almost no suspense to meet in the playoffs, the Hawks did not dare to take it lightly, and the starting lineup was all back, with Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rashid Wallace, and Ratliff's core lineup sent to start.

On the Pistons' side, the starting lineup is still Billups, Hamilton, Stephen Jackson, and Ben Wallace.

Liu Mang called out Rashid Wallace and Ratliff, the interior defensive duo who have a better relationship and more tacit cooperation, and whispered a few words, and the two of them lit up......

The game is about to start, and the opening moves begin.

It's not like no one did the opening moves before, but there was no situation where the whole team started like the Eagles, which caused a small trend, and some players began to do opening moves more frequently.

For example, Ben Wallace of the Pistons, and Bosh, who has always loved to get attention, began to dance face-to-face when the game was about to start.

The dancing talents of the two ...... It's time to learn from the fat man in Los Angeles, except for the exaggerated action, there are no advantages, how ugly and ugly it is.

Ben Wallace never wanted to lose to the Hawks, but the game was always lost, so he came up with a bit of a roundabout tactic and beat the Hawks in terms of opening moves......

Not to mention, the opening moves of Bosh and Ben Wallace are more interesting than the opening moves of Rasheed Wallace and Ratledge when the Hawks played away, and Ratliff's flex muscles and Rasheed Wallace's "scholar" moves are weaker than the dancing moves of Bosh and Ben Wallace!

However, just when Ben Wallace was proud that he thought of a better opening move, he found that the opposing two interior players did not make bells and whistles to counterattack.

Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff came to the center circle, the two staggered face to face, and at the same time stretched out their right hands and bumped into each other on the inside of the elbow joint in the air, and the two arms formed an X, and then Rashid Wallace came to the side of the center circle and waited for the jump ball.

X, the highest level of restriction in the classification of American movies in the old era, means that it is too bloody and violent, and minors should not watch it......

Ben Wallace looked at the other party's succinct opening moves, and suddenly felt like he and Bosh were opening moves...... It's silly...... The other party doesn't care whether they want to fight back or not, it's really stupid......

Liu Mang came on the court after hugging Boozer on the sidelines, and just now watching Rashid Wallace and Ratliff's X-cross arm, it feels really exciting!

……

The game started with Rashid Wallace and Ben Wallace standing on either side of the halfway line, the referee throwing the ball into the air and the two Wallaces jumping together with their might.

Ben Wallace was physically fantastic, flicking the ball backwards when he was five or six centimeters shorter.

The Pistons attack first.

As soon as Billups received the ball, Liu Mang saw a figure rushing over and hurriedly followed.

Hamilton, this guy is too good to run!

Liu Mang followed Hamilton to keep running, around the bottom line was blocked by Ben Wallace who ran to the frontcourt, Liu Mang went around and continued to follow Hamilton, when Hamilton dealt with Liu Mang, his running ability was played to the limit, he knew that there was no way to get rid of Liu Mang at a block, so he continued to find a block, borrowed Bosh to block Liu Mang, in the face of Bosh's weak chicken, Liu Mang directly squeezed up, until Hamilton and Stephen Jackson blocked and dismantled without the ball for the third time, Liu Mang lost Hamilton.

But it didn't matter, Raheem continued to run after Hamilton.

On the other side, when Liu Mang was chasing Hamilton, Billups had already arrived in the frontcourt, and when he saw Hamilton being chased by Liu Mang, he immediately began to break through, and when Hamilton and Stephen Jackson blocked and dismantled, after getting rid of Liu Mang, he turned around and jumped to pass!

Prince, who was defending Billups, quickly jumped up to interfere with Billups' pass to Hamilton, because Raheem's side didn't quite keep up, and Hamilton only needed to take a step or two to get off when he received the ball, and he was ready to shoot, even if he did.

But instead of passing to Hamilton, Billups passed to Stephen Jackson!

Stephen Jackson took advantage of Liu Mang's focus on Hamilton's side, withdrew outside the three-point line, and received the ball before Liu Mang reacted and pounced, and shot a three-point shot!

When Liu Mang pounced, the ball flew past his fingertips, slid through an arc in the air, and fell into the basket!

Careless!

The Hawks used the same defensive strategy as before, constantly changing defenses and following Hamilton, but the Pistons' offense actually used the previous simple to extreme style of play, and there were different changes!

Billups is no longer just a single and a pass to Hamilton, but to Stephen Jackson!

Larry Brown's team has always been very simple in offense, mainly relying on defense, the offensive play has not changed all year round, and it doesn't matter if it is blocked, but this time it came up and played an unexpected pass!

Looking at the opponent's skillful cooperation, it seems that he has practiced many times, but when Liu Mang watched the Pistons' game videos in the past period before, he clearly didn't see too many such passes.

The Pistons' offense is either Billups singles, or Billups and Hamilton's passing and running coordination, or Bosh's cut-ins and mid-to-close frame singles and Stephen Jackson's two-wing singles, except for Billups and Hamilton, everyone else has very little cooperation, but this time Stephen Jackson is brought into the cooperation!

In other words, this style of play is specially prepared for the Eagles!

And it's definitely not a flash of inspiration, it's been practiced many times ago, as for why it wasn't used in the playoffs, this is quite puzzling to Liu Mang.

Mike Woodson on the sidelines couldn't help but look at the opposing bench, Larry Brown didn't have a surprised expression, obviously this tactic was thought of by him, and like Liu Mang, Mike Woodson was curious, this kind of tactic is a "miracle trick", why not wait until the playoffs to use it? If you use it so early, you will definitely be targeted!

Larry Brown would have scoffed if he had known what Liu Mang and Mike Woodson were thinking: What is offense? If you are targeted, you can't vote, you can't vote, and you will be killed.

Larry Brown is convinced of his defensive championship philosophy!

……

When his eyes returned to the court, after Stephen Jackson made a three-point shot, Liu Mang was surprised and immediately reminded his teammates.

"Pay attention to the third point of the opponent!" Liu Mang reminded his teammates, and after receiving the serve, he pushed towards the front court.

The Pistons are quick to step back and are one of the best defensive teams in the league.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court and saw that it was Hamilton who came up on defense, and from this point, Liu Mang saw that the Pistons did not get Prince's biggest flaw as originally did.

It's not that there is no lack of roaring Tianzun in the double Wallace, but there is no absolute outside defensive strength!

Billups defends well, but lacks height and physical fitness, Hamilton has enough physical fitness, but his defensive ability is not top-notch, Stephen Jackson has a bad personality but plays hard and is willing to defend and press fiercely, but speed is a problem.

Liu Mang knew that it was already the best choice for the Pistons to send Hamilton to defend themselves.

But this is the best choice, after Liu Mang crossed the middle line, he suddenly started to rush to the right side, Hamilton originally stepped on the three-point line, but saw Liu Mang suddenly accelerate, and subconsciously took half a step back to the left rear to leave room for defense.

The moment Liu Mang rushed to the top of the arc outside the three-point line on the right side, he suddenly changed direction to the left, grabbed the ball while kicking with his right foot, came to the top arc, and shot three points!

A beautiful feint from the middle line, Liu Mang's top-arc three-point shot with a horizontal jump step feels perfect, and when the shot feels perfect and there is no interference, the sharpshooter level 5 triggered by a 50% chance is triggered, and the three-point shot is hollow hit!

In the boos of the fans, Liu Mang blew the smoke of the non-existent "muzzle", and turned back to defend with a bang.

These three points are really enough!

If you want to talk about receiving three points in the open position, Liu Mang is not as scary as Reggie Miller, Peja, and Ray Allen, but his three-point ball is one of the two or three most terrifying people in the league!

If you really want to talk about it, Liu Mang's three-point shooting rate with the ball is not very high, but this kind of ability of the opponent to return one and he can still shoot one immediately makes the opponent too impressed!

Just like Kobe Bryant and Maddy's three-point shooting is far less accurate than Carter's, but the two just give people a very accurate impression, and after this impression makes them less powerful, people will give them the title of Iron God, but when they can complete this kind of response and shoot at their peak, at that time, it is more terrifying than Carter's steady three-pointer!

finally started the game by relying on running to attract the defense to create a third point shooting opportunity and shoot a three-pointer, which is not easy for the Pistons! They only averaged 3.9 three-pointers per game, which means that they may not be able to have a three-pointer in a quarter, and the opponent easily returned one.

Originally, the Pistons lost most of their fighting spirit in the face of the Hawks, seeing Liu Mang's natural style of play, most of the players on the Pistons really had a feeling of losing confidence, Hamilton, who was not too afraid of Liu Mang before this season, also began to have Stephen Jackson's "absolutely invincible" and Billups's "let's still be brothers" feeling, because it seemed that Liu Mang was going to be beaten up for the third game in a row.

As for Bosh...... It's still a rookie, and it's good that he can play normally in this kind of game......

The morale of the Pistons was suppressed at the beginning of the game, and Ben Wallace clearly felt that his teammates had become more silent, and when he ran to the frontcourt, he turned his head and yelled: "Cheer up, isn't it just a failure to defend once?" Just guard against it next time! ”

"Ding...... Talent skill Big Ben field level 5 trigger, full level Big Ben field characteristics: Five Tiger Admiral trigger. The Pistons team cohesion has increased, partially offsetting the strength fear oppression brought by the host, and the morale has partially rebounded, from Ben Wallace. ”

Liu Mang had just returned to the backcourt to defend Hamilton when he heard this prompt.

"He really deserves to be a genius who breaks the rules, what happened to such a player in college that would make 29 teams unwilling to choose him even in the second round?" Liu Mang sneered.

Looking at Hamilton, who ran over again with renewed energy, completely without the dazed look of being played by himself just now, Liu Mang felt that the Pistons were more difficult than he imagined!

It's time to start running the marathon again, although the Pistons have additional tactics, but just like Larry Brown's offense has always been so easy to defend, there are not many changes, the selection of running routes, the position of the players at the receiving point are very fixed, and the Pistons' training does not practice offense much, how can there be so many changes.

Liu Mang actively followed Hamilton, and finally came to Stephen Jackson's side, Hamilton ran at full speed for almost 10 seconds, and he was still so vigorous.

Sure enough, Stephen Jackson once again blocked Liu Mang.

At the same time, the Eagles' defense became more urgent than the previous round, and everyone else stuck to their defenders to avoid being scored by Billups' pass, although Billups was staring at Stephen Jackson's pass in the last round, but it is difficult to say whether it will be passed to others this time.

The Pistons' offense is really poor, and it is easy to be guarded by the marking, after Stephen Jackson blocked Liu Mang, Liu Mang immediately switched defenses with Raheem and stuck to Stephen Jackson, Stephen Jackson had no chance to point guard!

But at this time, Billups had no chance to rush to the inside, watching Hamilton change the defense every time he was about to get rid of the defense, and the Hawks' change of defense was no slower than the change of defense on the Pistons' side, Billups could only withdraw from the three-point line, seeing that there were only 5 seconds left in the time, there was no way, he could only play alone!

Billups stood up to Prince's defense and moved sideways to shoot a three-point shot!

Prince defended to the extreme, but Billups was worthy of the legendary big heart, and he made a three-point shot from a step-back jumper...... Hit it too!

Hell yes!

The Pistons opened the game with two three-pointers! After only one minute of play, the Pistons took half of the three-point "share" of the game!

The ball was thrown, and Ben Wallace excitedly rushed out and knocked Billups into his chest to celebrate!

As the only player on the Pistons who is confident that his strength has the advantage in the position against the Hawks, Ben Wallace is the only player on the Pistons team who has maintained confidence and motivation, and he found that his teammates were about to lose their fighting spirit by the Hawks, so in this game, he took the initiative to use his ability to liven up the atmosphere and try to help his teammates get back on their feet.

And to regain morale against the Eagles, then you have to win!

Ben Wallace is going to fight this game! No matter how hard it is, you must win!

"Ding...... Ben Wallace is in a high-spirited phase, which drives the morale of the Pistons to continue to improve. ”

"Ding...... Triggers a temporary quest to defeat the Piston Soul. ”

As soon as Liu Mang received the ball, he saw the Pistons players running back to the half court excitedly, and just thought that this game was a hell, and he heard the system's prompt!

The opponent scored two three-pointers in a row, and it feels a little fried today! What to do?

Liu Mang thinks he can do a good job of reading comprehension, and by the way, interrupt the other party's good start!

That's right, just like that, Liu Mang called a timeout in the stunned expressions of the Pistons players...... 8)
