931.18 Winning streak (Ask for votes)
Coming back from the break, Jason Terry was replaced on the Hawks' side, Liu Mang and Maddy went down to rest, and Persson, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Mourning played.
Iverson, a steel physical monster, is not much behind in the score, so he naturally has to go to the end and take the two meters and one big tall scoring guards John Samuels, Josh Childis, Webb, and Haitian Daim Porter on the field.
When Iverson came on the court, he saw that the Hawks were actually five up and five down! Good guys, two rookies, two old men, plus a wave ratio, Iverson was already unhappy, and now he is even more unhappy.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Iverson advanced to the front court after receiving the serve, and the 76ers were better at playing positional battles, mainly Webber Lao.
The 76ers' offense was launched from Iverson's breakthrough, and Iverson looked at Iguodala, the rookie who defended him, and didn't pay attention to it at all, breaking through quickly!
It doesn't make much difference whether you put it in your eyes or not, anyway, Iguodala can't keep up, Iverson moved sideways on the left side, broke through from the right side, and rushed to the right side of the free throw line in two steps, just about to find Webb or Childis, and found that there were a bunch of people squeezed in the middle and under the basket!
Webber and Childis were blocked at the free-throw line, all four Hawks players were in the three-second zone, and Iguodala was also stepping on the sideline of the three-second zone, which means that all five of the Hawks were crammed into the three-second zone!
Webber and Childreis were blocked at the free throw line, Iverson took a step inside on the right side of the free throw line, only Samuels was in the bottom left corner of the basket, but Iverson didn't dare to pass! It was too dangerous to have a bunch of people in this kind of wide transfer, he didn't expect the Hawks to block the basket like this, Durham Porter couldn't get out of the three-second zone, and it didn't make sense for him to get out of the three-second zone.
Childis reacted quickly and immediately retreated to the top arc, Iverson immediately passed the ball over, and when Childis received the ball, the Hawks had no one to guard it, only Persson went to Samuels, who blocked the bottom corner, to receive the ball.
Childis hesitated, he hadn't shot a three-pointer today, but it was all empty, he hesitated and threw ......
"Bang ......"
Iguodala borrowed from his teammates to block the opponent and jumped high to grab the defensive rebound.
When it came to the Hawks' offense, Jason Terry's singles split began, the 76ers did a good job of pinch shooting in the area, and a group of players with a high ball IQ did a good job of that, but the one-on-one defense, apart from Durham Porter, was best with Iverson......
Jason Terry pumped the wind, Kobe Bryant, Artest, and other defensive masters of the best defensive lineup couldn't prevent it, let alone Iverson.
Jason Terry doesn't have to think about team offense like Liu Mang and Maddie, except for the bag and the ball, he doesn't have to care about anything, just shoot.
The momentum for an 18-game winning streak is plentiful, and Jason Terry has a good hand today, maintaining a mid-range shooting percentage of around 40%.
On the defensive end, the Hawks blocked the 76ers basket, the main defense Iverson and Webb's high position, Childeis ran over there, Josh Smith and Persson, Jason Terry blocked which side, Iguodala defended Iverson in the middle and cut off Iverson and Samuels's outside direct pass, Iverson was going to the basket with Mourning waiting there, and a bunch of people under the basket were not afraid of Iverson passing to Delham Porter.
Iverson and Childeis got a lot of three-point opportunities, but they couldn't shoot!
Iverson, who had no choice, began to break through on his own pullup jumpers.
76ers head coach Jim O'Brien would have a black question mark face if he were black — is there such a defense?
It's a gamble!
Just as the head coach of the 76ers thought, Coach Krueger and Liu Mang just planned to bet that the 76ers' three-point game would be a seven-point gamble.
The point is that the 76ers only made two three-pointers in the first quarter, and although they scored one, except for Iverson who missed once and Rodney Rodgers who threw once, the 76ers didn't shoot three points in the first quarter.
Even if the team with strong three-point ability only shoots two three-pointers in a whole quarter, it will be difficult to quickly find the feeling in the future!
Moreover, the 76ers started the game mainly on the inside, and they encountered a lot of defensive confrontations, so it was difficult to find a three-point hand quickly!
And, the 76ers are third from the bottom in the three-point league this season, with the Bobcats and Hornets both outscoring them......
Halfway through the first quarter, finding that the 76ers could play such a good three-point line, Coach Kruger began to have an idea, let them play smoothly inside the three-point line, and hit until they themselves believe that they can compete with the Hawks, reduce their outside shots to freezing, and even reduce their mid-to-long-range shots, so that they can attack the basket more and accept more physical confrontation...... And then block the inner line all at once!
Now it seems that the tactics worked!
The Hawks coaching staff spent so much effort against the 76ers, a team with vastly different strengths, mainly because they could meet in the first round in the playoffs, so they wanted to learn as much as possible about their strengths in order to deal with them in the playoffs.
Coach Kruger dared to use the mentality of "research" against the 76ers, showing his confidence as a championship coach, as well as arrogance!
18 consecutive wins can't stop the arrogance of the Eagles, they just believe that they are the strongest!
Although Iverson is powerful, and Webber's combination is very set, but the role players are like this, in fact, the 76ers are relying on the offensive threat brought by the partnership of Iverson and Webber to help teammates score, helping a group of teammates who are good at cutting in the air from both sides of the baseline and the middle to score, but there are not too many three-point shots, even if it is not focused on three-point at the beginning of the century, the Spurs and Lakers two championship teams have many role players who are very accurate in three-pointers, the original Pistons Five Tigers, There are also Billups, a very good three-point shooter, and Rasheed Wallace and Prince, two three-pointers who have a 345 percent shooting rate.
But the 76ers didn't, and after the only bit of firepower on the outside of the 76ers was targeted, as long as the inside line was blocked, the 76ers would have a hard time.
By the second half of the second quarter, Iverson and Webb figured out that if they wanted to beat the Hawks as a team, even if the opponent had two big men, Rasheed Wallace and Prince, was not there, and the defense was seriously declining, it was better than their role player lineup! The two began to play alone.
On the Hawks' side, after Iverson and Webb singled two in a row, they immediately replaced Liu Mang and Maddie.
Compared with the duo, Liu Mang and Maddie's partner is obviously stronger! And compared to Iverson, who just learned to partner with Webb, Liu Mang and Maddie have been running in for most of the season, and now they are the best guard line combination in the league.
After Liu Mang and Maddy came up, they used Maddy's breakthrough ball, and Liu Mang's blocking and dismantling, plus Korver's excellent feel today, the 76ers blocked Liu Mang and Maddy with a regional bag, and they couldn't prevent Korver, and even Mourning on the inside and Josh Smith on the air got a chance to shoot.
Unconsciously, Iverson was fighting, and started the battle of the trapped beast again, and he could only start to be forced to cut points, but this time he was not alone, and Webb, who was 32 years old but became more lethal in the low position after gaining weight, the two started the battle of the trapped beast.
On the Hawks' side, Jason Terry is mainly playing single tactics, Jason Terry is down, and Liu Mang and Maddy are mainly running and passing.
Iverson's strong scoring ability was shown again, and at the end of the third quarter, the Hawks scored the score to 89-73, and after leading by 15 points, Iverson scored 12 points in a row in the fourth quarter, and the Hawks played a wave of 12-5, narrowing the difference to 9 points at once, which scared the Hawks.
Iverson played the first three quarters and the fourth quarter and could still play like that! This physical fitness is so impressive!
However, Liu Mang and Jason Terry fired in succession and returned a 13-6 to stretch the difference by 16 points again.
Iverson scored 26 points, 3 boards and 7 assists in the first three quarters, 16 points and 3 assists in the fourth quarter, and Webb also scored 28 points, 7 boards and 6 assists, and the two combined for 70 points and performed quite well.
But on the Hawks' side, Liu Mang scored 16 points in the first quarter, and scored eight or nine points in each quarter of the next three quarters, scoring 41 points, 8 boards and 5 assists in the whole game, Maddie got 17 points, 4 boards and 14 assists, Jason Terry got 11 points and 3 assists, Kwame Brown got 13 points and 15 boards, and Korver was the most critical outside contact point today, scoring 6 three-pointers in a single game to set a new career high, and scoring 23 points in the game!
Relying on the performance of five players scoring double-doubles, the Hawks maintained their lead to the end, defeating the 76ers 118-104 with a 14-point difference, winning 18 in a row!
……

"Ding...... King's Landing Phase 2 Trigger Mission: If the Juggernaut has met the mission completion requirements, the mission reward will be calculated based on the final winning streak, which will be multiplied by 1000 Superstar Points. Winning the championship is proof of superstardom, two consecutive championships are the beginning of a dynasty, and the second phase of King's Landing: the prologue of the dynasty has begun. ”
"Dynasty Prologue: King's Landing Phase 2 Mission, the host needs to lead the team to win two consecutive championships and win the Finals MVP twice in a row. Reward: 1 high-level strength fruit. ”
After beating 76 people and winning 18 consecutive victories, Liu Mang finally heard the prompt for the second phase of King's Landing's mission to begin.
The Eagles got 18 consecutive wins, causing a sensation, but this is not an important thing for Liu Mang, people may think that 18 consecutive wins are "championship streaks", but it will not be in the future, fans are relatively superstitious "authoritative data", and it is only relative, when the authority is broken, it will be immediately discarded.
18 consecutive wins or even longer streaks, although it is also an honor, but for the current Liu Mang, one more consecutive win is just 1000 more superstar values.
What is important is the task of "prologue of the dynasty".
It just so happened to be the strength he needed to improve again now!
He's got enough strength right now for him to keep up enough on point guard, as well as some aerial work and footwork changes once he's under the basket, but it's time for him to improve his power again.
Whether it is Kobe Bryant or Jordan, the strength is one of the best in the same position, the two are stronger than Ray Allen, that is, their singles, Ray Allen's core strength is very good, and the backlash is very good, but the single back-up jumper is much worse than Kobe and Jordan.
Nash is also similar to Ray Allen, with good core strength, but poor overall strength, it's not that he doesn't like to score, he has good shooting ability, but he has not been as strong as Kobe and Jordan in singles...... Nash said: Who doesn't love scoring? It's just that 15 assists are better for the team than 30 or 40 points.
Liu Mang needs to improve his core strength, and of course he also wants to improve his overall strength, but 81's strength evaluation is still too low, and he doesn't have the upper hand against Iverson.
Abdominal strength has an effect on the pull rod and backlash, but it has nothing to do with confrontation, Liu Mang is limited by height and weight, and the overall strength and strength cannot be improved too much by increasing muscle, otherwise it will lead to a decline in speed and flexibility, Kobe Bryant is the best example, this season Kobe Bryant didn't even play the performance of the second defense, although he played harder than before.
The Fruit of Advanced Strength came at a better time!
Liu Mang looked at the task description of the prologue of the dynasty.
"You need to lead the team to win two consecutive championships...... System boss, does this mean that you have to win two consecutive championships this season? ”
"Ding...... Mission: Prologue of the Dynasty, only need to complete two consecutive championships, and there are no other restrictions, including but not limited to the two consecutive championships after this title defense. ”
"Sure enough, there is no limit on mission failure and failure punishment, that is, if you don't win two consecutive championships before you retire, you can't start the dynasty. Winning a championship establishes the status of a superstar, and then it's time to pursue your own dynasty......"
Although the mission does not require you to win two consecutive championships this season, why wait until later if you can win two consecutive championships this season?
The task is not required, and Liu Mang wants to do it himself, these two things do not conflict.
Make himself stronger, let young teammates make faster progress, and let the first and second year players have better performance, Liu Mang feels that as the boss of the team, this is his responsibility!
Just like recently, Korver has been given a lot of opportunities, although Korver has wasted many opportunities before, and he often can't shoot in the open position because of nervousness or impatience, so the Hawks coaching staff is forced to quickly sign Persson, a solid veteran, back to the team.
But this time Korver seized the opportunity and had a good start, which will be easier later.
Then there are Josh Smith, Calderon, Iguodala, and even Vallejo, these teammates may play a role in the key moments, allowing these young teammates to improve their strength, which will be very helpful for Liu Mang to win championships in the future.
When he left the court just now, Liu Mang saw that Iverson left without anyone after losing, Liu Mang saw it in the first half, Iverson also wanted to use himself to make his teammates better, but his teammates' talent was like that, even if he couldn't do it, he could only rely on the two cores to win, but Iverson has been playing for a long time, and he is still working hard, which has given Liu Mang a great touch.
With 18 consecutive wins in hand, it is time for the team to train young players, select better young players to enter the playoff squad, and let the main players rest.
The sprint for two consecutive championships, from this moment, has begun!
