One more rogue rookie!

If Dale Curry had been five or six years younger, Coach Wilkens would have had a way, but at this age, he couldn't do the full-court running like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen.

Coach Wilkens replaced Dale Davis and replaced Derrick Tiar, a defensive point guard in 99, Derrick Tiar, who is 1.93 meters tall, a standard defensive engineer who does not shoot or even make a layup in addition to dunks, is at the peak of defense at the age of 26, although he averaged only 3 points and 4 rebounds in 20 minutes per game last season, he had 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks, and got a two-year contract extension with a high salary of 5 million.

Then replace Olajuwon with Jerome Williams, a garbage dog nicknamed Mad Dog, and fight the defense!

After the timeout, the Hawks replaced Ratliff for Newbell, hoping to attack the opponent with a wave of fast break and crush the opponent in one fell swoop.

But when he came back, he was hit hard by the opponent, and Morris Peterson forced a layup and missed, but Jerome Williams rushed in and knocked out Newbell for two points.

The Raptors stopped the bleeding!

The offensive and defensive conversion of the Eagles' offense, before they had time to serve and break fast, the Eagles were blocked in the backcourt!

The Raptors are pressing all over the court!

Jason Terry was constantly rounded by Tial and Jason Terry couldn't catch the ball!

Liu Mang ran to the middle line and hurried back to answer, and Rahim sent the ball to Liu Mang.

As soon as Liu Mang got the ball, Alvin Williams came up and kept making physical contact.

This action! Foul on the cliff!

Liu Mang looked at the referee unmoved, and seemed to think that this was normal, Liu Mang's heart was crossed, who was afraid of whom!

In the close proximity of Alvin Williams, Liu Mang narrowly dribbled across the half court before the eight-second violation, and Alvin Williams immediately retreated outside the three-point line after the half.

Not to mention anything else, the defensive awareness of the eastern team is good, if it is still close after halftime, and it can't be caught up by being chased, the teammates who are returning to defense in front of the half-circle will also become chaotic.

Liu Mang dribbled to the three-point line, and Alvin Williams blocked it again.

Now is the time!

Liu Mang looked at Alvin Williams, who rushed up and wanted to lower his center of gravity to rush, and gently picked up the ball with his fingers, and then took the initiative to stick to Alvin Williams who rushed up, and relied on Alvin Williams to turn around and wipe into the three-point line!

At this time, the ball bounced from the crotch of Alvin Williams into the three-point line, and Liu Mang caught the ball and hit the inside!

It's so cool, this feeling of freewheeling ball control!

I didn't feel much when I was training before, but when it came to the team's offensive training, Liu Mang felt it, and the feeling of being one ball and player was great!

Alvin Williams was so clean, the Raptors' interior line was suddenly in chaos, Jerome Williams reacted quickly, rushed directly towards Liu Mang, and it was not just a supplementary defense, and he collided directly towards Liu Mang!

Not good!

Liu Mang immediately picked up the ball and threw it to the basket, and then was knocked to the ground by Jerome Williams!

Fortunately, Liu Mang reacted quickly and did a good job of protection, but he fell on the ground and hurt.

This action was a bit excessive, but the referee only gave a normal shooting foul! The Eagles' side suddenly became anxious, especially Liu Mang, who got up and rushed towards Jerome Williams.

Jerome Williams, who is 2.06 meters tall, crashed into a 1.93 meter guy when he had a chance to be in place.

The Eagles players also came around, and Raheem was afraid that Liu Mang would suffer, so he took the first step to push his head against Jerome Williams.

The referee hurriedly came over to separate the people on both sides, and this kind of conflict in the playoffs can be seen at any time, and the fans are used to it, the league is used to it, and the referees are also used to it, which is much lighter than the blowing penalty in the regular season.

Jerome Williams shouted, "Rookie, this is the playoffs, you can't afford that, go back to your regular season!" ”

Looking at Jerome-Williams' face, Liu Mang wanted to punch over, but Rahim's action just now, Liu Mang understood that this was Rahim's intention, and he didn't want Liu Mang to really fight, otherwise he would just swing his fist directly, instead of using his head against the other party.

Liu Mang's brain circuits are very clear, looking at Jerome Williams's weird smile as he spoke, a classic character in the Crazy Boy popped up in his head...... Crow!

That evil expression and arrogant personality and style of play are too much like the NBA version of the crow!

It's no wonder that even though he was just a role player, he was listed as one of the top villains of the 80s and 90s along with Bill Lambir!

The regular season was okay, but in the playoffs, Jerome Williams, who was known as a garbage dog because of his ordinary performance in the regular season, became a mad dog in the playoffs!

A mad dog that catches each other's arrow characters and bites madly!

Capital...... He's a former Pistons player!

Liu Mang took a deep breath and calmed down, standing on the free throw line.

The hard injury that fell to the ground has been relieved just now, and the pain is much better, calm down! Liu Mang kept hinting that he must be calm!

Walked to the free throw line, Liu Mang hit both free throws.

In the process of returning to the defense, Liu Mang ran past Jerome Williams first: "I don't know how the playoffs will be, but I know that I can score points on your head at will!" ”

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he ignored Jerome Williams' angry expression and returned to the three-point line to wait for the defense.

If the defensive strategy of the Raptors at the beginning only aroused the fighting spirit of the Hawks, then Jerome Williams' vicious foul action just now activated the Hawks' blood!

Unlike the Hawks, who still rely on technology to break through the score, the only single strong point on the Raptors' court, Morris Peterson, was limited by Rahim, and he shot 0 of 5 in the first quarter. Alvin Williams came over and passed the ball to Antonio Davis, who chiseled inside!

A headless hard chisel!

I have to say that Antonio Davis and Jerome Williams, the impact of the two physical men is too strong, and as soon as the ball reaches the inside, the Hawks except Raheem guards Morris Peterson who has a mid-range shot, and the other four people all shrank to the basket.

Antonio Davis was slapped out of bounds by Muhammad in a roar!

And the final moments of the ball flying out were left on Antonio Davis' fingertips, out of bounds, and the Eagles possessed the ball.

The defense is okay, and the rebounds are also powerful, but on the offensive end, Antonio Davis is really not a person who should do the work of singles, he is okay to catch the ball and shoot at close range, and the dunk is needless to say quite violent, but in singles, in addition to a one-on-one move, he turns around and wipes the basket is still good, and he breaks when he encounters a bag, especially if he does not have the ability to make damage on the inside, he averages 3.3 free throws per game this season, which is similar to Kenyon Martin who is similar to him.

Antonio Davis, who was blocked out of bounds, roared at the referee that someone had pulled his pants just now, and although I didn't see who it was, someone must have pulled him!

The referee ignored it, if he didn't score the ball, he might be given a foul, but he couldn't throw it and was fanned off, so a clean block.

Liu Mang and the others were preparing to receive the serve in the backcourt, and wiped the sweat they had just caught on their jerseys.

The playoffs are terrible! It's only been less than a quarter, and the physical consumption is so big! Especially on the inside, the jerseys and pants are already soaked!

This time the referee sent a sideline ball, the Raptors were afraid of being beaten and the fast break collectively returned to the half court to wait for the positional battle defense, Liu Mang signaled Jason Terry to run and wait for the opportunity, Jason Terry is really not good at organization, the 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio is also enough, according to Liu Mang's impression, there is a playoff assist-to-turnover ratio ranking in the future veteran in memory, Jason Terry is the only guard who can be compared with the inside, 3-to-2 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the outside of the three-point line, watching the opponent stretch freely, ready to help defend at any time, and aiming at his side at any time with vicious eyes, Liu Mang snorted coldly.

The defense is fierce and fierce, which is the strength of the opponent, with the fighter Davis and the mad dog Jerome.

But! Encountering this kind of defense full of physical confrontation is not necessarily a bad thing for Liu Mang!
