After the timeout, the Hawks possessed the ball, and the Hawks still led by one point at 42-41.

There were no substitutions on the Nets' side, with Kidd, Rodney Rodgers, Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, and Aaron Williams continuing to play.

The Nets' tactics haven't changed, they just have to grind, grind until the Hawks collapse first.

If Stockton goes down and Liu Mang goes to hold the ball, then they hold it low and block it on the outside, and when the Eagles have no inside scoring advantage and can only shoot outside, it will be their chance to win!

However, seeing the lineup that the Hawks came up, the Nets didn't understand it!

Liu Mang, Prince, Barnes, Raheem, and Kwame Brown walked up, and Kidd was a little confused, which not only strengthened the low post, but removed the low post offensive candidate by one?

The Nets are ready, and if the Hawks replace Liu Mang, Raheem, Rashid Wallace, and Boozer with four people with low-post offensive ability, they will continue to fight for offensive stability, and they are also prepared to target Boozer's poor defense.

But Prince, Barnes, and Kwame Brown are the three people who only have a functional role on the offensive end, and even Barnes has no role except for running back to impact the Nets on the offensive end, and the Nets said they didn't understand!

The Eagles attacked, Liu Mang slowly advanced after receiving the serve, and the rest of the Eagles quickly ran to the frontcourt, the really fast kind, Kwame Brown's speed evaluation was 84, and it was not just given to him by relying purely on physical fitness to become the champion back then, Prince speed evaluation was 89, Raheem speed evaluation was 88, Barnes is still thin and has a speed evaluation of 89, these brothers, including Prince, are all considered physical fitness men, and this lineup has to run against the sky!

After Liu Mang advanced to the top arc, Kwame Brown and Prince came to the left side of the three-second zone, and Kwame Brown and Barnes came to the right side of the three-second zone.

Liu Mang's three-point shot!

Seeing that it was too late to pounce, Kidd reacted quickly and rushed to the inside, forget it if he entered, and grab the rebound if he didn't score, the Hawks' four positions except for the point guard are taller than the average height of the Nets, a lineup used to defend and protect rebounds! And there's Kwame Brown, a seven-foot man! And this rushed in, even if Liu Mang threw it, Kidd could still pick up the ball and launch a fast attack.

Liu Mang's first three-point shot was a little hasty, purely to catch Kidd off guard, and the ball bounced off the basket.

Rebounding for the ball!

There are 9 people under the basket!

No one is easy to grab, and the card position is completely stuck!

At this time, Rahim, Barnes, and Prince squeezed the others to death, and Kwame Brown used his height and arm span and the best bounce of the nine men on the inside to fight to the top arc, and the ball returned to Liu Mang's hand, this time Liu Mang was in a completely large gap, adjusted a little, and made a three-point shot before Richard Jefferson rushed out!

The ball flew over Richard Jefferson's head and landed in the basket in the midst of another constant push and shoving by a bunch of people on the inside!

45-41, the Hawks lead by 4 points!

After the goal, the Hawks' four people under the basket immediately ran back, and Liu Mang immediately stuck to Richard Jefferson after throwing it, the first is to avoid not shooting into the Nets to grab the defensive rebound and counterattack, and the second is to avoid shooting into the Nets and immediately serve and counterattack.

On the Nets' side, Kidd and Byron Scott didn't think about this style of play at all! It's pure gambling! In shaking the wit, if the Nets predicted in advance and stuck the position of grabbing the rebound in advance, this style of play is not feasible at all, and they can only bet on the feel of Liu Mang's first shot, but the Nets obviously did not think of this style of play, and Liu Mang's shaking was successful.

Switching offense and defense, Kidd pushed over, and found that it was Liu Mang who was defending himself, and faintly, Kidd felt a little bad!

Kidd still gave the ball to Rodney Rodgers, Prince went to defend Rodney Rodgers, Liu Mang ran tightly to Kidd, much tighter than Stockton's previous defense, when Aaron Williams came out to block and dismantle, Liu Mang squeezed directly and followed behind Kidd, Rodney Rodgers didn't dare to pass the ball when he saw Kidd's empty cut.

On the other side, Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson, who were also continuing to block and cut air, encountered a rough defensive confrontation! Barnes was a stunned young man who didn't care about anything, and pressed up towards Richard Jefferson face to face, and when Kenyon Martin went to block Richard Jefferson, Barnes, who was stubbornly entangled with Richard Jefferson, took the first step and squeezed past Kenyon Martin with Richard Jefferson.

Rodney Rodgers didn't dare to pass the ball at all, only Aaron Williams was empty, but Aaron Williams was a pure blue-collar draft, Kidd ran in and out and was followed by Liu Mang, Rodney Rodgers can only come by himself, he is also confident, after all, he is a professional sixth man, he can't shake off Prince with a sudden step, and forcibly leans back!

Prince's block compressed Rodney Rodgers' shooting angle to the extreme, Rodney Rodgers was forced to fall back, and the ball flew to the front of the basket more than ten centimeters and fell, three no!

At this time, Kidd rushed into the interior in time, but Kwame Brown came up to stop him and Aaron Williams who rushed in, and on the other side, Raheem and Barnes also blocked Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson behind him, and Liu Mang easily collected the defensive rebound.

The situation was not good, the Nets quickly retreated, Liu Mang immediately started to advance, and the Hawks all five who could run and jump pressed up to counterattack!

After crossing the halfway, Liu Mang saw that the Nets retreated quickly, and the speed of the Nets' lineup was also very fast, all five of them retreated, Liu Mang slowed down after crossing the midline, and several other members of the Hawks continued to press in.

With the experience just now, this time the Nets are very active, and after Liu Mang reaches the top arc, he jumps against Kidd's defense!

When Liu Mang grabbed the ball and jumped, the Nets were ready to grab the rebound, and the positive card position, Kenyon Martin stuck Kwame Brown, Aaron Williams stuck Raheem, Richard Jefferson stuck Barnes, and stuck the Hawks' strongest three people rushing to grab rebounds, but Rodney Rodgers, who rushed to his own basket when he returned to the defense, couldn't find his own defender! Rodney Rogers didn't find a slot!

Quickly swept the field, Rodney Rodgers found Prince in the bottom left corner!

Liu Mang jumped up and didn't shoot, but threw the ball at Prince!

Prince makes a three-point shot from the bottom corner!

This time, Prince was competitive enough, and the three-point shot was steadily entered, and the Hawks stretched the difference to 7 points!

The biggest point difference in this game!

Liu Mang's offensive tactics are just these two rounds, and the defensive strategy is the defense that Mike Woodson came up with when he saw Liu Mang wanting this lineup.

The first two attacks, one with a quick wit, and the other against the opponent's defensive tendencies, this tactic may not be effective when it comes to the third attack.

But the Eagles only need to score those two goals and defend it once, and they have enough lead.

So, it was time for the Nets to attack again, and the Hawks' physical flow combination began to press the defense!

In the face of this kind of defense, Rodney Rodgers struggled too hard to play Prince alone, and even Maddie and Carter struggled to beat Prince, who is considered the top speed among scoring guards like Prince, plus a height of two meters and six meters and an arm span of two meters and 18 meters, coupled with excellent defensive prediction, completely locked Rodney Rodgers.

Rodney Rodgers made another strong shot, but fortunately, this time Aaron Williams quickly slapped the ball out of the baseline, although he couldn't get the ball back, but the Nets managed to stop the Hawks' counterattack, and the Hawks' counterattack of these five people was too scary.

Dead ball, the Nets quickly called a timeout, Coach Byron Scott laid out the strategy of defending the Hawks' lineup, but there were no substitutions, he could arrange the defense, the on-court command on the offensive end was very average, Kidd didn't let the substitution, and he didn't have other ideas.

On the Hawks' side, they also played like this, the Hawks did not make any substitutions during the pause, and the Hawks still had the same lineup, with five major defensive players on the court to defend to the death.

After the pause, the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the front court, and saw the Nets stuck position under the basket, someone from the Hawks ran out, and the Nets' defense immediately expanded.

Clearly, the Eagles' clever offensive play has failed.

However, Liu Mang's singles ability is the strongest among these players on the court! Liu Mang started endless singles, the main defensive task was handed over to his teammates, and he only needed to follow Kidd on the defensive end, who had no other scoring means except for mid-range shooting and three-point shooting, and focused on the offensive end.

The Nets and the Hawks actually had the same problem in the Eastern Conference finals last season, both of which did not have the key points that could determine the outcome of the game, but at that time, the Nets had more advantages in the depth of the lineup, and when they encountered the Hawks, who also had no key scoring points, it was often the Nets who won the game in the end.

But this year is different, although the Nets have improved Richard Jefferson, he has only become a player with an 83 ability evaluation, and with Kidd's addition, he is only a player on the edge of 85's first-class stars, and the 85 evaluation is the strength shown in Kidd's passing organization offense, Richard Jefferson's ball-handling singles are probably the same as Jason Terry when Liu Mang first arrived with the Hawks, he can play, but when he encounters Raheem or Prince's single defense, the single effect is very poor.

In turn, Liu Mang's singles ability has made great progress this year, although Kidd's defense has given Liu Mang a lot of singles pressure, Liu Mang's hitting rate is not high, but he can score! Death to the Nets!

Both teams' offensive and defensive transitions are fast-paced, playing faster and faster, but the Nets' offense has come to a standstill, if the Hawks' starting lineup is a meat grinder lineup, then this lineup is a forced team!

Liu Mang slowly grinds his points in endless singles, and there will always be so few.

Playing and fighting, the Eagles gradually opened up the difference, and at halftime, the Eagles were 55-44, stretching the difference to 11 points!

In this tug-of-war of grinding to see which side can't bear the collapse first and see which side can hold on, the Hawks won the game, and the Nets collapsed first!

In the last five minutes of the second quarter, the Nets only scored 3 points! Beaten 13-3 by the Eagles!

Leading by 11 points at halftime undoubtedly gave the Hawks a huge psychological advantage, and everyone was scrappy and ready to take out the Nets in the second half!

After the break, the third quarter of the game began, and the Hawks re-switched to the meat grinder defensive combination, and they didn't shake their wit anymore, so they grinded it, relying on a stronger defensive combination than last year, and the Hawks were grinding to death.

The Nets are backward in one move, and their moves are restricted, and if they want to play offense and chase points, they can't prevent Liu Mang, Raheem, and Rashid Wallace's low-post offense, and they do a good job of defense, but they can't take care of it on the offensive end, and Moring's role is lower than imagined, and it is not as good as Jason Collins.

In order to avoid the point difference from continuing to be stretched, the Nets can only grind defense with the Hawks.

The official timeout in the second quarter was the key turning point!

This time, the Eagles relied on strength, Liu Mang relied on his small brain and singles ability, and Mike Woodson's defensive construction to maintain the advantage!

Fighting, the physical confrontation between the two teams has increased, as if it has returned to the feeling of last year's Eastern Conference finals, the scoring efficiency of the two teams has seriously declined in the third quarter, and what has declined even more is the Nets team that has no advantage in the depth of the lineup this year!

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks led the Nets by 15 points, 77-62!

In the fourth quarter, the Hawks continued to play steadily, and if they played other teams, they might have slackened after leading for so many points, but playing the Nets, even if it was the last two minutes, as long as the Nets did not replace the main force, the Hawks would fight to the death!

The physical confrontation between the two teams continued to increase in the final quarter, and the scores of both teams almost came to a standstill, but the Eagles, who had the lead, kept their fighting spirit high, and Liu Mang didn't care so much, his teammates trusted him to give him the ball, and he threw it! Breakouts, three-pointers, mid-range shots, throw when you have the opportunity, try to make fouls when you don't have the opportunity, and if you can't score, you can't get a foul or even make a mistake, so you quickly retreat to prevent the Nets' offense.

After eight minutes of playing in the final quarter, both teams scored more than 10 points in the final quarter, and the score was exactly like two games before the official timeout in the second quarter, but the pace of the two teams was not slow, but the confrontation was big, the defensive intensity was high, and the scoring was too difficult.

Finally, with 59 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Hawks still led by 12 points, 96-84, and in less than a minute, the Nets announced their surrender!

In the end, the Hawks defeated the Nets 96-89 away and avoided two consecutive defeats!

Liu Mang played 43 minutes, only rested for five minutes in the first quarter, and then played the second three quarters, shooting 13 of 31, 4 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and got 34 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, leading the team to beat the Nets!

The Eagles can be said to have fought all this game, except for Liu Mang, only Rashid Wallace scored 16 points, and the other scores were all scattered, none of them had more than 10 points, and they were all shot who had the courage to get the ball, and the whole team was desperate for the victory of this game and tried their best on the defensive end.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Eagles players cheered as if they had won the championship! Even Calderón and others in suits were infected by their teammates' desperate style of play!

Kidd, who left silently after losing, looked at Liu Mang who was surrounded by the Eagles players, and the fear of Liu Mang gradually turned into unease!
