The game reached the middle of the second quarter with the Hawks trailing by seven points.

My teammates are really not good! Jason Terry also has a sore egg, this is his fourth year off the bench and the weakest rotation partner.

Rondo, dish, nervous.

Unlike the Celtics, who were fighting for draft picks as trade chips in the original time and space, Rondo entered the NBA in the defending season of the three-consecutive Dynasty team, and because of the Hawks' excellent draft vision, this rookie selected with the 16th pick in the first round was expected to be highly anticipated and valued by opponents.

Rondo himself played nervously, and the opponent valued the clear strengths and weaknesses he showed in high school and college, the advantage is passing and breaking, he is very fast, in terms of pure speed, like Liu Mang, it is a speed evaluation of 94, very fast, and the breakthrough is sharp.

Defensively, high school Rondo was able to get 31 assists in a single game, and at the University of Kentucky, he showed rebounding and card positioning beyond his height, not to mention steals, leading the University of Kentucky to the quarterfinals of Crazy March for two consecutive years, and breaking the NCAA single-season steal record for two consecutive years.

The shortcomings are more obvious, he can't shoot, only the offensive ability under the basket, although he is very accurate in his footsteps and throwing, but he is 1.85 meters tall...... The Raptors rotated the lineup Milicic and didn't go down, so the opponent didn't have to block Rondo's sharp breakaway, and he didn't shoot at all.

Power forward David Lee, who occasionally plays a single in the low post, has a good catch-and-shoot shot, and played more in the fourth quarter with Jason Terry last season, which is relatively tacit.

Battier......

Jason Terry didn't understand how the No. 6 pick in the class of 2001, an all-around potential star who averaged 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game in his rookie season that year, played like this, and the offensive end knew that the bottom corner was open up.

Battier's running ability is really bad, he is very accurate in the two corners, and he is also very good at receiving the ball in the bottom corner to attract defensive crosses to the middle, but the offensive end has degraded to the extreme, from a potential star to a pure role player.

Rasheed Wallace...... One's eyes are bigger than one's stomach.......

Jason Terry took the weakest bench he had ever led, scoring 10 points in 10 minutes, Jason Terry couldn't do better, but the Hawks were still beaten 26-16 by the opponent from the eighth minute of the first quarter to the sixth minute of the second quarter, and the Hawks were 36-43, seven points behind the Raptors.

It's embarrassing to come back to the sidelines as a substitute......

Fortunately, the defense is okay, Joe Johnson's singles are okay, in the face of Battier, Joe Johnson struggles a little, Rasheed Wallace plays center offense without defense, and he doesn't give the opponent ten minutes to play 30 points......

However, the Eagles players are very confident, because they think the best player in the world, Liu Mang, is about to play!

Tried a few things, and although they limited Milicic's passing in some ways, they didn't really find a way to deal with Milicic overall.

Liu Mang felt quite painful, Milicic alone was so difficult to deal with, and with better teammates, Garnett and Gasol, two experienced stars, made it even more difficult to deal with.

It's important to chase the score first!

Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Marion, and Kwame Brown are back in the starting lineup.

The Raptors, on their part, also changed back to the starting lineup, and Raptors head coach Sam Mitchell wanted to break the nightmare of the Raptors who had not won against the Hawks for many years, and wanted to catch up with the Hawks when the overall state of the game was not good at the beginning.

……

The timeout came back and the Eagles attacked.

Liu Mang received the serve and came to the frontcourt, and saw that the opponent's defense had made some changes, probably because he passed the ball 6 times in the first eight minutes of the first quarter, and three of them were converted into direct assists.

Liu Mang clearly felt the change in the opponent's defensive position.

Liu Mang was separated by more than a meter from the three-point line, and in the face of Richard Jefferson's defense stepping on the three-point line, Liu Mang chose to break through!

"Ding...... The strongest first step is triggered, and the host's speed is +5...... within 2 seconds."

Here it comes!

The fans at the scene saw that Liu Mang rushed from the right side of Richard Jefferson to the position parallel to Richard Jefferson almost in the blink of an eye, and the scene immediately boiled!

Richard Jefferson hurriedly retreated, wanting to press Liu Mang, but he was still a beat slower!

Fortunately, the Raptors' defense became more focused on shrinking the interior, with Joe Johnson blocking in front of Liu Mang, and Milicic and blocking the passing path between Liu Mang and Kwame Brown while pinching up, blocking Liu Mang's path to take advantage of his three-step trajectory.

This pinching strike was perfect!

But......

Liu Mang grabbed the ball, kicked his right leg, and bounced from the right side of the free throw line into the middle of the three-second zone!

And it was in the case that Joe Johnson gave physical contact!

Liu Mang entered the middle of the three-second zone, changed direction towards the basket, jumped in the second step, held the ball next to the basket, and scored two points with the basket!

This......

It was the first time for the fans at the scene to see Liu Mang's rough offensive method!

This is the change direction of Liu Mang's new development!

In the past, Liu Mang was relatively afraid of this kind of defense, so he would choose ...... Facing the pinch jump shot, Milicic was ready to go back and compete with Kwame Brown for defensive rebounds, but Liu Mang was able to maintain stability under the confrontation!

The opponent has been accustomed to Liu Mang's style of play that will choose a stop-and-go jump shot before physical contact, Liu Mang came suddenly, the Raptors did not react, and Liu Mang was cleaned, the most important thing is that Liu Mang's man-ball combination is stable, and the control of the ball is too good!

The improvement of the explosive power of the legs gave Liu Mang another offensive option.

The difference is back to 5 points!

The Raptors just figured out how to deal with Liu Mang to break through the ball, but they didn't expect Liu Mang to have a new way of attacking, this kind of defense does limit Liu Mang's passing, yes, but Liu Mang's European step that grabs the ball and moves sharply sideways between the course can't be defended! After a few rounds, after being choked enough by Liu Mang, he could only switch back to regular defense.

In the following time, the two teams began to play in which the Eagles started to catch up with the score and dug holes when they came off the bench.

The more uncomfortable young players are to play as the main substitutes, the more they have to adapt more.

At the end of the second quarter, the Hawks tied the score 57-57 at halftime, Liu Mang had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists at halftime, Maddie scored 11 points at halftime, Marion and Kwame Brown scored 12 points at halftime, and the Hawks tied the score at halftime.

Then the third section...... Circulate......

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the Hawks were beaten 11-0 by the opponent in four minutes, and the difference was stretched to 10......

It was the worst stretch of the game for the Eagles, as Maddie was caught by a double and his teammates couldn't shoot, and he didn't score a point for four minutes.

Liu Mang continued to play and chased the score for the third time......

This...... Liu Mang is angry!

It's too vegetable!

In the same mood as Jason Terry, this is the most immature team he has ever led!
