Sometimes, when you take the first step, your face is thrown aside.

Iguodala is like this, this pleasure of wandering on the edge of being beaten and taking advantage, the first time he experienced it, he had a special feeling, and he was a little fascinated.

Now he understands why he is as strong as Pippen and Liu Mang, they all like to fake falls, that kind of superiority in IQ is too special!

A calm Andre Miller stopped his teammates and didn't let the situation escalate, and after the referee gave a technical foul, Iguodala got up and went to the front court to make a free throw.

Steady penalty hit.

The Eagles attacked, the sideline ball, and Liu Mang advanced to the front court after receiving the serve.

Andre Miller suppressed Anthony's restless heart, the key is that Anthony still listens to this old-school steady point guard, whether it is the current Andre Miller or the future Billups and Kidd, when partnering with these three people, it happens to be the three periods of Anthony's peak.

As a rookie, he can lead a team with 17 wins last season to the playoffs in the West, which can be regarded as the peak of Anthony's life.

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, he saw the Nuggets' expanded three-two joint defense, that is, the joint defense of the main defense outside the line, plus the high-speed rotation defense, which was really choking, when Anthony was still thin, he had a strong lateral movement ability, and even he and the veteran Persson's defense looked very good in this system.

Liu Mang continued to choose a strong burst, Andre Miller was passed without suspense, he couldn't prevent the speed of the outside line, but this time Andre Miller did not continue to chase Liu Mang but predicted that the defense was blocked to the top arc!

Sure enough, Maddie once again got rid of Persson and ran to the top arc, Persson did not continue to chase Maddie, but ran to the middle lane and prepared to wrap Liu Mang with Nene together, Kenyon Martin went to block Josh Smith's air cut, this guy's air cut is terrible!

Thereupon...... Liu Mang stepped on the free throw line and made a jumper shot......

Hit!

The mid-pitch feels good!

Like other teams that are good at blocking three-point points, the Nuggets have a terrible mid-range defense!

Liu Mang can maintain a mid-range shooting rate of more than 40%, and he can stabilize the score!

It's time for the Nuggets to attack again.

Iguodala continued to follow Andre Miller to the low post, his left forearm rubbing against Andre Miller's waist and his right hand ready to interfere with Andre Miller's turnaround jumper.

I used that trick once just now, and I can't use it all the time in the future, just to leave a shadow on Andre Miller.

Andre Miller felt the chrysanthemum chill and immediately turned to the side to see Anthony pick up Kenyon Martin to run inside, and immediately passed over.

Maddie and Josh Smith didn't care about Kenyon Martin and followed Anthony after him, both of whom were faster than Anthony! Anthony received the ball and wanted to dunk it, but was chased by Maddie and slapped the ball on the rebound!

Josh Smith wanted to grab the ball, who knew that Anthony reacted so quickly after being capped, and when he landed, he reached out and grabbed the ball in his hand.

Maddy, Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace, who was back under the basket, sandwiched Anthony under the basket, and Anthony couldn't pass it, so he could only shoot hard!

Hatted again!

Maddie clicks on Anthony's throw in the back!

However, Anthony grabbed the offensive rebound again!

Liu Mang, who was already standing outside the three-point line and preparing to counterattack, had a black face.

Finally, it was Iguodala who was quick and let go of Andre Miller to squeeze into the crowd, and the four of them sandwiched Anthony, and the ball was pulled out quickly!

Liu Mang saw that he was asked for some reason to get to Rashid Wallace, and immediately went down, Rashid Wallace quickly handed the ball to Maddie, Maddie made a long pass, Liu Mang arrived at the front free throw line just to receive the ball, took a step, and then jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

59 to 55, a 4-point lead!

Liu Mang suggested, Mike Woodson's perfect team defense, that is, Iguodala single defense Andre Miller, Maddie single defense Anthony, Liu Mang and Iguodala, Josh Smith, Maddy after the opponent started to pass the ball infinitely changed defenses, Rasheed Wallace blocked people inside, and the strategy began to work!

However, I just gained confidence in this defense, and a sudden change occurred!

Anthony seems to be by the hat and has been capped 4 by Maddie today! Maddie relied on today's four blocks to successfully increase the average number of blocks per game this season to 2.2, temporarily refreshing the record of 1.9 blocks per game held by a guard!

After Andre Miller advanced to the frontcourt, Anthony asked for the ball directly outside the three-point line, Andre Miller felt that it was important to protect his chrysanthemum, and immediately passed it to Anthony, Anthony continued to try to step after receiving the ball, Maddie stood firmly in the three-point line and was not affected, and Anthony wanted this, directly pull out the three-point jumper!

Maddie immediately pounced on the interference, Anthony leaned back slightly and threw the ball out, and Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace under the basket were already engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Kenyon Martin and Nene and Liu Mang and Iguodala were also included in to grab the rebound.

But!

Anthony's three-pointer hits!

58-59, the Nuggets tightened the score!

Liu Mang doesn't feel right! This guy is so decisive and accurate!

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the front court, seeing Anthony's defense more active, Liu Mang burst into the middle distance, this time Anthony, who was originally just guarding Iguodala, the bottom corner pitcher, struck over, Liu Mang immediately passed to Iguodala in the bottom corner, Nene pounced on Iguodala, Iguodala hung the basket, Rasheed Wallace received the ball and jumped to the basket with Kenyon Martin chasing back to make up for the defense.

Although the singles technique has deteriorated, Rashid Wallace is still much better than Kwame Brown in this kind of technical matter, and Kwame Brown wants to dunk the ball when he receives the ball, and it is likely to be defended by Kenyon Martin.

There's an inside swingman with a technical flow, and it's fantastic on both ends of the floor.

The Hawks' steady running tactics, ball sharing and passing, and the routine on the offensive end are obvious, Princeton!

All five positions can be passed!

It's time for the Nuggets to attack again, Anthony is still asking for the ball in the top arc, Maddy is afraid of Anthony's dry three-point pulling, and the defense is tighter, Anthony takes the opportunity to cut in, and shoots from the free throw line.

Anthony found his rhythm!

The Eagles attacked, Liu Mang continued to break through with the ball, this time Maddie did not move to the top arc, but cut to the inside, Liu Mang passed the ball to Maddie in the breakthrough, and Maddie cut to the basket and made a layup to easily score two points.

It's Anthony singles again, lowers his head and puts his head against Maddie, dividing a little space, and suddenly pulls out his hand...... Return in!

The Eagles attacked, this time it was Maddie's turn to hold the ball, Liu Mang leaned on Andre Miller in the middle distance, Maddie gave the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang turned over and made a jumper, and also scored!

At 72-70, the Hawks still held a two-point lead.

Sometimes the outburst comes so suddenly, Anthony goes berserk! This time he burst to the basket and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand before Rasheed Wallace could get in place!

Ten points in a row!

Although the Hawks also scored 6 points on all three offensive shots during this period, the point difference has been tied by Anthony's explosion!

Coach Kruger wanted to call a timeout, but the tactics had just worked, and before he had time to be happy, the opponent suddenly stopped playing tactics and began to play singles, and he was ten points in a row, and Coach Kruger couldn't sit still.

But seeing Liu Mang asking for the ball from Rashid Wallace and looking excited, Coach Kruger suppressed the idea of calling a timeout and prepared to let the players solve the problem on their own.

Liu Mang received the serve and called Maddie to advance slowly, and asked, "Are you coming or am I coming?" ”

"One for each person!"

Liu Mang smiled and advanced to the front court separately from Maddie.

The Nuggets don't play tactics anymore! It seems that Anthony is very, very powerful, but Liu Mang will be afraid of Anthony's score? Just kidding, he's happiest when he singles out this kind of thing, what does the Nuggets rely on to carry it so far?

It's not their personal ability, no matter how strong the Nuggets star is, they can't beat the combination of Liu Mang and Maddy, they rely on endless low-post organization offense and team play, Anthony's singles, the rest of the Nuggets team stood still, watching him play alone, because they knew that he was not good at organizing offense! Singles are ironclad singles!

So Liu Mang just didn't call a timeout, and wanted to rely on Anthony singles to destroy the rhythm that the Nuggets had maintained for so long!

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, Maddie commanded two interior lines to go to the basket, and he and Iguodala pulled away to a 45-degree angle on both sides.

Liu Mang can finally ignore the singles!

Liu Mang dribbled the ball to break through from the right side, and after Andre Miller stepped back, Liu Mang immediately withdrew and stepped back to throw his snipe......

It was a bit of a pity that they didn't score, but Maddie and Iguodala rushed inside as soon as Liu Mang stepped back, although they couldn't grab the offensive rebound, but they made a mess under the basket, and after the ball was caught by Kenyon Martin, Iguodala poked the ball out of the baseline with a fast hand, not giving the Nuggets a chance to run.

Although they couldn't play a fast break, the Nuggets were still very excited, first of all, Anthony tied the score with ten consecutive points, and they felt that the morale that had just been broken by Andre Miller's offensive foul was back! Then he also "prevented" Liu Mang and had a chance to overtake the score!

Anthony saw that Liu Mang didn't score, and his self-confidence became more and more bursting, and he continued to ask for the ball after arriving in the front court.

Seeing that Anthony was testing again, Liu Mang beckoned to Iguodala, Iguodala immediately let go of Andre Miller and defended to Persson, Liu Mang didn't care about Andre Miller, pushed to the middle distance to prepare to make up the defense, Josh Smith also expanded, leaving Rasheed Wallace alone under the basket, and the Hawks defended the joint defense!

And Maddie directly pasted it, only preventing Anthony's outside three-pointers, and constantly pressuring the body to make contact.

Anthony saw that Maddie was sticking so tightly, and suddenly broke through to the inside line!

Liu Mang blocked Anthony as soon as possible, Anthony saw that someone was making up for the defense, or Liu Mang, so he grabbed the ball directly and crashed into Liu Mang, preparing to make physical contact and make a foul!

However, Liu Mang blocked it, but at the moment of physical contact with Anthony, he put his hands behind his back and collided with Anthony!

When Anthony and Liu Mang collided together, their bodies "lost their balance" and threw the ball to the basket, and the ball hit the rebound directly with a "bang" and bounced back, Liu Mang was knocked back two steps just to catch the ball!

Anthony was ready to take the free throw, but he didn't hear the whistle!

What about fouls?

Anthony looked at the referee very upset, he used the foul making action he learned from Liu Mang when he encountered the supplementary defense, and he was about to reason with the referee, why Liu Mang played like that in the first half, he didn't have a free throw, and he didn't even care about chasing Liu Mang to fight back.

Liu Mang saw that the referee didn't blow the whistle, grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately threw it to Maddie, he rushed to the front court empty-handed, and when he ran to the bottom corner, Maddie just broke through from the top arc of the three-point line, and Kenyon Martin and Andre Miller, who were back in place for the Nuggets, were attracted away by Maddy, and Maddie immediately threw it to Liu Mang when Liu Mang was in the bottom corner, and Liu Mang received the ball and shot a three-point shot......

This time it's in!

75-72, the Hawks once again led by 3 points!

Anthony argued with the referee for a long time, but the referee ignored him, if it was in the era of zero tolerance, he could blow the trick.

Seeing that the argument was fruitless, Anthony felt that he had definitely encountered a black whistle!

"Our 03 generation is so pathetic! Everyone who meets this guy is blown a star whistle! "Anthony thought of Wade and James' repeated encounters with Liu Mang's 'star whistle', and felt that he was also targeted! Although he had rarely experienced it before, he felt that it was because he had only played Liu Mang in the NBA for the second time...... There is a shady scene in the NBA!

Anthony didn't win the Rookie of the Year last season, and he is even more sure that there is a shady scene in the NBA!

Next, Anthony completely disregarded tactics or something, originally when he could throw in singles, he could ignore tactics and play by himself, because he was a singles star, but now, he doesn't care about tactics or not, he just wants to play singles and earn back face!

The outburst of a star is a good thing for the team most of the time, but it is not entirely like that, just like now, Anthony's outburst was used by Liu Mang!

The reason is that Anthony's strength is not strong enough, and it is a good thing to play with confidence, but it is not a good thing to be too conceited after playing with confidence.

The Eagles started a single attack of Liu Mang and Maddie, both of whom can shoot, especially Liu Mang's off-ball shooting is also very good, Liu Mang just shoots a few blind shots when he is single, and throws them all if he has a chance, while Maddie needs to do more, but he is strong and can do it very well.

And the more Liu Mang only shoots regardless of it, the more Maddie does it, and he looks quite coquettish, and the whole court is full of Maddie's shouts......

Fighting, the Nuggets suddenly collapsed!

In the third quarter, it was clear that the Nuggets took the lead, but as they played, the Nuggets suddenly stood still, Anthony played alone, everyone else watched, and Anthony scored 19 points in a single quarter in the entire third quarter, which looked amazing, but the entire Nuggets team only scored a total of 23 points, except for Andre Miller who singled one and Kenyon Martin made up one, no one else scored!

Anthony made 4-of-4 shooting for 10 minutes, followed by 3-of-11 shooting, and 7-of-15 in the first quarter still looked pretty good, but the team's offense suddenly stalled!

On the Hawks' side, singles tactics are the most important part, with Liu Mang and Maddie, if there is a chance to play alone, who would be idle to run tactics? Tactics are to serve to get easy singles, after the Nuggets stand on the offensive end, the enthusiasm on the defensive end has come down, and Liu Mang and Maddie's singles cooperation or counterattack are getting smoother and smoother, and there is no feeling of being locked in the first half!

In the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 17 points in a single quarter, and Maddie scored 11 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, helping the Hawks score 32 points in a single quarter!

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks ended the third quarter with a 9-point lead at 85-76!

In the final quarter, the Nuggets finally made adjustments, George Karl sprayed Anthony throughout the intermission, George Karl did a good job of maintaining player relations, but really made Anthony calm down and ready to play tactics.

……

After the start of the game in the final quarter, Liu Mang and Maddie had already shot, and the Hawks continued to defend with unlimited changes and pinching, and Liu Mang and Maddy fired continuously on the offensive end, and the Hawks continued their performance in the second half of the third quarter.

On the Nuggets' side, Anthony noticed that whether it was Liu Mang or Maddy, he was just over and wanted to reintegrate into the tactics, but tactical discipline is easy to relax, but it is difficult to tighten up!

The Nuggets are now pointing at Anthony for singles, Andre Miller doesn't need to see Iguodala now, as long as Liu Mang rubs his waist when he defends him, Andre Miller feels that his lower body is trembling, and Iguodala's constant stroking just now has made him have a psychological shadow!

And the replaced Prince single-handedly defended Anthony, Anthony was miserable, Prince defended Anthony much better than Maddy, even if he was separated by a step to prevent a breakthrough, Prince could interfere with Anthony with his height of two meters and six meters and super long arm span and blocking awareness.

With Iguodala's psychological shadow on Andre Miller, Prince's defense of Anthony, and the third quarter that ruined the Nuggets' rhythm, in the fourth quarter, the Nuggets were still lifeless, pointing at Anthony's inefficient singles on the offensive end, and the more this happened, the less motivated the defensive end became.

And Liu Mang and Maddie scored continuously, in addition to scoring by themselves, Kwame Brown, who took turns playing with Rasheed Wallace, both got Maddie's pass, but it was the Hawks who played in the fourth quarter under Maddie's instigation, and scored a high score of 33 points in the final quarter!

The Nuggets were defeated, scoring just 25 points in the final quarter.

In the end, relying on the turn of defense in the third quarter, the score was pulled away in one fell swoop in the second half, and there was no chance for the Nuggets to overtake!

Relying on Liu Mang's 10 points in the first half, 17 points in the third quarter, 11 points in the fourth quarter, and 38 points in the whole game, and Maddy's 25 points, 7 rebounds and 13 assists, the Hawks defeated the Nuggets 118-101 and avoided two consecutive defeats!

With Liu Mang scoring 38 points this time, the average score per game has increased again, and he has averaged 33 points per game, surpassing Kobe and James, and returning to the first place in the scoring list!
