946. Birth of the Trash Brothers! (The third update, or a 5000-word chapter~)
The Wizards are stuck in a dead loop, Arenas's singles efficiency is really good, although the efficiency is low in the next 5 minutes, 7 shots and 3 shots, but he also scored 8 points, plus 4 of the first 6, a total of 17 shots and 7 shots, more than 50% of the shooting rate, while the rest of the Wizards team combined only 9 of 3, 33 percent of the shooting rate, Arenas scored 18 points in 13 shots, and the others only scored 8 points in 9 shots, the Wizards played right, Arenas is also very strong, but not strong enough.
But the more that's the case, the more Eddie Jordan, who prefers triangle offense, wants Arenas to play alone.
The Wizards' turnover rate is the lowest in the league, averaging 13.8 turnovers per game this season, far lower than the league's average of 15.4 turnovers, just because other teams have begun to speed up, the Spurs have a certain degree of speed improvement in the regular season, only the Wizards insist on playing a triangle offense, the Wizards' so-called triangle offense is the three strong points who have a chance to play alone, and the simple way of playing when encountering a bag clip is the same as the Lakers during the three-game championship, which is the team with the lowest error rate in the league.
In the regular season, the Wizards' strategy was very effective in most of the games, Arenas was good at mid-to-long shooting, Jamison was all-around inside and outside and even three-pointed, Larry Hughes had a breakthrough, and the three were in good health at this stage, and they once played fifth in the East in the regular season, but they were surpassed by the Bulls who worked in the middle and the 76ers and Magic who worked in the late stage.
But the more this happens, the more the rest of the Wizards feel colder and colder.
But the Wizards can't help it, two of their three players are relatively easy to defend, Larry Hughes doesn't shoot from mid-range, Jamison has a soft ball, and Arenas can be strong.
Eddie Jordan continued to set up a single play for Arenas, and in order to avoid Dantonio Daniels going up to drag the defense, Eddie Jordan changed the lineup, Arenas went to play shooting guard, Larry Hughes went to play small forward, sophomore Steve Blake played the point guard position, and Jamison and Haywood continued to play.
In the playoffs, as Iguodala thought before, the main force is to play for a long time.
Arenas was a little timid when he heard that he still had to be the main scorer.
People who are fragile in their hearts generally think more.
Liu Mang just wanted to take advantage of Arenas' weakness, as well as the characteristics of an outside trio such as two ball-holding singles players on his side, and Iguodala holding the ball to organize the offense without being reassuring, to target Arenas singles and stimulate Arenas to continue singles, and he didn't think so deeply.
But Arenas thinks too much, he thinks everything is Liu Mang's conspiracy!
even thinks that this game was Liu Mang's conspiracy from the beginning!
Arenas began to deny that he was already quite good in the first quarter, ignoring why the coach kept letting him play singles, his teammates were willing to open up space for him to watch him singles, and Larry Hughes didn't yell at him for the ball like he usually did.
He's already the Wizards' only strong point against the Hawks.
In the game, Arenas didn't think so much, just did it, but during the break, he began to doubt himself, mainly because he was so miserable by Liu Mang before, he felt that he was 7 of 13 in the first quarter, and scored 18 points in a single quarter with more than 50% of the top shooting rate on the outside, and he himself was skeptical.
He felt that Liu Mang was deliberately playing with him.
He saw Liu Mang easily score 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting, and he also led the team to a solid lead.
Mainly seeing that five minutes after the first quarter, Liu Mang and Jason Terry used his style of play to score 13 points in 5 minutes, and he felt that Liu Mang was playing him.
This feeling was like a seed that quickly took root and sprouted, and it reminded Arenas of the fear of being dominated by Liu Mang in the regular season of entering the NBA......
The confidence that fell after the excitement was even lower than the original low confidence, even to the point of collapse of confidence......
……
……
At the end of the intermission, the Hawks took a 6-point lead, and it was a solid lead, although Iguodala was also blown up by Arenas, allowing Arenas to score 8 points in 5 minutes, which made Coach Kruger so depressed that he wanted to beat Liu Mang, but Liu Mang and Jason Terry deliberately stimulated Arenas to shoot, both of them had stronger firepower than Arenas, and they steadily achieved a 6-point advantage, everything was fine.
In the second quarter, Liu Mang and Jason Terry continued to play, Iguodala was replaced, just feel the playoffs, there was no chance to play until garbage time, and the bench interior combination of Prince and Muhammad and Mourning came on.
On the Wizards' side, they replaced Steve Blake, Arenas, Larry Hughes, Jamison, and Haywood, and the three outside cores and the main center to continue to play in the second quarter.
Seeing the Hawks' lineup, Eddie Jordan felt that he could try to chase the score back during this period, and the opponent only had two starts.
Liu Mang came on the court and saw the white point guard in the opponent's lineup, and he was very impressed! Playing the first quarterback is the Flash Steve Blake!
Steve Blake, Ability Rating 68, Offense 67, Defense 70, Three-Point Shot 84, Shooting 62, Layup 78, Speed 87, Power 81...... Characteristics: Catalyst. ”
"Catalyst: Steve Blake is a tough guy point guard that all coaches love, and his every move on the court is full of tough guy temperament, never timid, and always drives the morale of his teammates."
After reading Blake's ability evaluation, it's really ...... It's hard to put into words, a standard white point guard, average speed, strong strength, and good three-pointers.
This guy can play for so many years, the key is the "catalyst" of this feature that is digitized by the system to show himself!
Fortunately, the first quarterback on his side was resting on the sidelines, otherwise what should I do if I was blown up by the Flash.
After teasing in his heart, Liu Mang saw that Arenas had already passed half the game, and followed Arenas to defend himself.
Today's confrontation with Arenas is still very cool, but then it's time to start a rough defense, just now Coach Kruger finally didn't play any agitation, and directly told him to defend Arenas to be as rough as Iguodala.
Liu Mang's defensive ability at this stage is much stronger than Iguodala's, especially the defense of this kind of technical flow, and he will definitely not be beaten two 2+1 in 5 minutes like Iguodala.
But contrary to Liu Mang's expectations, Arenas didn't go up to catch the ball, he saw that Liu Mang was defending him again, and he actually pulled to a 45-degree angle to wait for the ball!
Hell yes! Liu Mang followed Arenas to a 45-degree angle in confusion, this guy is accurate for three-pointers, a strong shot can have a 36 percent three-point shooting rate, and a guy who averages 2.6 three-pointers per game is very scary as an off-ball pitcher, just like Jason Terry rarely shoots in the open position but the effect of opening up space is still very good.
It's not just Liu Mang who feels like he's going to see it, but Blake also thinks he's got a damn, and the task is to dribble over half court and hand it over to the boss to open up space? How did the boss go and open up the space!
Blake is characterized by fast passing, accurate three-point shooting, although he is white but dares to fight, extremely stubborn personality, standard tough guy player, but top arc single offense...... He's just a second-year second-round pick!
Larry Hughes was ready to cut to the defense, and Jamison was also pulling into the corner, but he didn't expect it.
Blake saw that his teammates were pulling away, although he felt like hell, he didn't cowardice, and he relied on the advantages of height, weight, and strength in the face of Jason Terry, and directly chose to break through!
Jason Terry didn't expect this scene to appear, being squeezed out of the way by Blake and breaking into the inside!
"The Flash" breakout!
Blake burst into the three-second zone, Mourning came up to make up the defense, Blake came out of the ball very fast, when Mourning came out, the ball in Blake's hand was gone, Mourning quickly turned around and blocked, Haywood received the ball and quickly raised it high and threw it, Mourning couldn't reach it, Haywood threw and hit.
Eddie Jordan on the sidelines jumped up when Arenas didn't go to catch the ball, but he didn't expect Blake to make such a good judgment and force the ball to help the team score two points!
Jason Terry has always been a defensive weakness on the Hawks' side, but he usually defends the opposing team's off-ball pitchers, and God knows how the opponent actually plays like this!
This time, it was the Eagles' turn to surprise the opponent's "tactics", and this move was played in seconds!
The live TV footage was given to Coach Kruger, who usually plays this kind of trick, but this time it was the turn of the other side.
Coach Krueger was also surprised by Eddie Jordan's tactics, didn't the opponent stubbornly insist on playing a triangle offense?
Liu Mang felt even more like hell, he just recalled that the Flash played the first quarterback, and co-author Jason Terry looked like the first quarterback in this "Flash"?
Think about the players who participated in the playoffs this year, except for Ginobili who is better than Jason Terry, who seems to be a pure scoring guard, Jason Terry is really the first point guard!
What a scary guy!
But more importantly, the offense, Mo Ning signaled that he was in too much of a hurry, picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang said that it was okay, slowly advancing, this lineup was slow, waiting for his teammates to run to the position, and in the playoffs, unless it was a one-sided game at the beginning or a stalemate, the Hawks reduced their fast break.
Liu Mang dribbled across the halfway line, saw Arenas go to defend against Prince, Larry Hughes was defending Jason Terry, and it was Blake waiting for him at the top arc, Liu Mang immediately accelerated to the right front, trying to break through directly from the right side.
Blake moved to the left very aggressively, Liu Mang was outside the three-point line, and Blake was already blocked.
The Flash is awesome!
Before Liu Mang made contact with Blake, he kicked with his right foot, slapped the ball to the left, changed direction sharply, returned to the top arc, and burst through the middle!
When he reached the free throw line, he continued to jump and shoot, ready to continue to stimulate Arenas to play and continue to wear out the rest of the Wizards' hand until it was gone.
This is Liu Mang's strategy.
However, as soon as I grabbed the ball and jumped up, I was pulled down directly from behind!
Blake chose to foul and not let Liu Mang shoot directly!
Liu Mang was pulled to the ground, and this time it hurt Liu Mang so much that his shoulder hit the ground directly!
"System boss, use the superstar value of the injury potion as you like!"
Liu Mang roared in his heart, immediately got up, and walked towards Blake, the two were about the same height, Liu Mang pressed Blake's forehead with his forehead, and resisted the urge to hit people directly.
When he got up, the trait "cold-blooded" had been triggered, and he immediately understood what Blake wanted to do, Blake wanted to make a "contribution", and exchange the pair!
Blake was pressed by Liu Mang on his forehead, and he was not afraid, and he pushed back towards Liu Mang.
"Yo he!" Liu Mang didn't expect the other party to dare to come back, I'll top it!
Blake didn't show weakness, and went back to Liu Mang, both of them are 81 strength, and they are on par, Liu Mang hates it now, why didn't he learn the iron head skill! Otherwise, blow up this guy's head!
Liu Mang's brain circuit was clear, and after cold-blooded suppressed his urge to hit people in a rage, he actually thought of this.
The fans at the scene were stunned, they were still booing, they all thought they were going to see a hot brawl, and the Heat players who watched the Hawks game in front of the TV were jumping up with excitement, who knows, the picture became a little ...... Fine......
Referee Ou rushed up and wanted to cry, why was it their turn to blow the Eagles for the game, was it a sin in the previous life?
But when I rushed to the two of them, I saw that the two of them were just on their heads, and they didn't talk trash either, and they all had desperate expressions on their faces, but they were just heads on their heads......
The referee was also stunned for two seconds before separating the two, Liu Mang and Blake glanced at each other, and saw the meaning of "with you" and "you are very powerful" in the eyes of the other party, and separated, without continuing to conflict.
The players didn't expect it to turn out like this, the Wizards were ready to fight, the Hawks were ready to fight, and God knows how it turned out.
The referee warned the two of them, and there was no technical offense, in the playoffs, since there was no real conflict, it is normal for the action to be bigger and the confrontation to be stronger.
It was Liu Mang's posture of going up and wanting to beat people, so he should blow his skills, which can be regarded as offsetting.
Liu Mang walked to the free throw line and looked at the system first after receiving the ball.
"Shoulder muscle contusion, consume 4 primary injury potions, 2000 superstar points, and have been cured."
It's expensive! That bastard, what a ruthless attack! The loss is that the master is sober and endured.
Liu Mang took a deep breath and threw the ball out at the urging of the referee.
One free throw was hit, and the second free throw was also made, and both free throws were made.
At 34-28, the Hawks still led by six points.
The offense and defense switched, the Wizards attacked, and Liu Mang saw Arenas receive the serve and advance!
It's weird! What about that beep-hard sophomore?
Liu Mang took a look, on the sidelines! It's ...... Liu Mang looked at the next game, and there were more ...... Who is this?
"Ding...... Michael Ruffin, 28, 1999 No. 32 rookie, ability rating 59, career so far 1.4 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, positioning: blue-collar forward swingman. ”
“……”
When Liu Mang made free throws, the Wizards made a substitution, and Eddie Jordan replaced Blake, afraid of causing trouble, so Blake came up and played a round......
Most coaches would like a player like Blake, but Eddie Jordan thinks Blake is a troublemaker, who always plays like he is desperate with the other team, and often causes conflicts, but he doesn't know that Blake is the best morale catalyst.
When Blake and Liu Mang clashed just now, the Wizards team was suddenly united and ready to work together to fight and pull the bias, who knew that Blake was replaced immediately, and before the morale was raised, it was dissipated by Eddie Jordan.
Arenas pushed over and saw Liu Mang's expressionless face because he heard Michael Ruffin's data and ability, and felt that Liu Mang was angry!
Originally, if Blake continued to be present, Arenas might have been boosted in morale, but now Blake has not boosted morale, and now Arenas sees Liu Mang's expressionless face and secretly hates Blake for being troublesome! It almost caused a brawl, not to mention, and angered this guy.
Eddie Jordan set up a singles play, with no one to pick up Arenas, Larry Hughes was taking Jason Terry ready to cut in the air, Ruffin and Haywood were under the basket, and Jamison was opening up space in the bottom left corner.
Arenas thought of the last time Liu Mang beat him so "angry", that is, Liu Mang used the same style of play as him to play a better performance than him, that is, the time when Liu Mang used Arenas's peak star card.
Arenas lost his fighting spirit and directly scored three points.
Liu Mang didn't react at this moment, but Arenas lost confidence and hit the basket with a three-point shot.
Mourning got stuck and Muhammad picked up a defensive rebound.
It's the Hawks offense again, Blake was replaced after only one round, Arenas had to defend one of Liu Mang and Jason Terry, Larry Hughes chose to defend Jason Terry who was advancing with the ball, Liu Mang held the ball and singled, Arenas's defensive enthusiasm dropped significantly, and Liu Mang was passed by Liu Mang in one step, Liu Mang saw Arenas's enigmatic sudden eyes on defense, and he didn't chase anymore, he wouldn't be caught back and forth, he rushed directly into the basket, and he suddenly got strong in three slow steps, and easily shook off Haywood's defensive layup and hit.
All of a sudden, the game was one-sided! The Wizards didn't score on the next four offenses, and fell into a scoring drought of nearly two and a half minutes!
How can you fight without confidence at all? Arenas, who had the highest efficiency and the highest score in the first quarter except for Liu Mang, suddenly collapsed in the second quarter! Hit 0 of 5 shots in a row, and the shooting rate from 54 percent suddenly collapsed to 39! From being the most efficient on the outside to being a super inefficient player.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry who met Arenas who singled, two and a half minutes plus Liu Mang's free throws, Liu Mang cut 8 points in a row, Jason Terry got it, and played a wave of 12 to 2!
In the third minute of the first quarter, suddenly the Hawks led by 16 points!
44 to 28, everything changes so fast!
The Eagles didn't expect that they would suddenly lead so much.
Falling behind so much, the Wizards began to panic, the other two Musketeers who got the ball will play, Arenas doesn't catch the ball, and he plays for nothing, and he keeps hitting iron, and the Hawks replaced Maddy and Rasheed Wallace in a timely manner, Maddie defends Jamison on the outside, Rasheed Wallace defends on the inside, and Prince and Mourning defends Larry Hughes from breaking through.
By halftime, the Hawks were 65-43 with a 22-point lead!
Even the Hawks didn't expect this, why did the Wizards collapse when they said it?
Originally, from the first quarter, it seemed that the Wizards relied on Arenas to play alone, and there was no such big disadvantage, but Arenas suddenly stopped playing, and he couldn't shoot if he had a chance!
The Wizards then collapsed directly, losing by 16 points in a single quarter!
The Hawks just scored 33 points in the normal second quarter, and the Wizards only scored 17 points in the second quarter!
The second half turned into garbage time, with Jason Terry going up to press and taking Persson, Iguodala, Mohammed, Kwame Brown, Mourning, Korver and others up to play.
Liu Mang got 24 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the half, and Maddie got 13 points, 6 assists and 2 rebounds in the half, so he clocked out of work!
In the end, relying on Jason Terry's 38-point performance in a single game, the Hawks defeated the Wizards 110-91!
When Liu Mang saw Arenas in the first quarter, he thought that the Wizards would break out today, at least give them a little pressure, after all, the task is written there, and it is not so simple to rule the basketball world of the imperial capital of the United States, right, even if it is simple, you have to work hard!
But in the last two sections, Liu Mang saw Arenas's sleepwalking appearance, and suddenly thought of the king of the north......
The main reason for the mysterious collapse of the Wizards team was Arenas, and after the game, not only Arenas was bungee jumped, but Larry Hughes was also implicated.
After the first game, ESPN gave Arenas and Larry Hughes the nickname "Trash Brothers"!
