436. A new generation is better than the old

Both teams have readjusted their emotions, and the Hawks players have made it clear that they want to help Liu Mang and Reggie Miller.

On the Pacers' side, they naturally want to help Reggie Miller, the first person in the team's history, to make the arrogant young man on the other side look good.

The Pacers re-replaced the main lineup, Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, O'Neal Jr., and Brad Miller's strongest lineup, completely at the expense of physical strength, do not kill the Hawks and will not give up.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Boozer, and Mohammed.

At 17-12, the Hawks led by five points.

After the timeout, the Hawks didn't expect the Pacers to replace the core of the team, O'Neal Jr. and Artest, and they were replaced in less than two minutes!

The Pacers attacked, Tinsley advanced to the frontcourt, and when he saw Liu Mang defending him, he was about to burst out!

Liu Mang saw Tinsley's mad dog-like breakthrough posture, and hurriedly squeezed Tinsley, pressed Tinsley down the line, and forced Tinsley to pass the ball.

Liu Mang took a big step forward by pressing Tinsley beyond the three-second zone, which is not Tinsley's shooting zone, and he also had a height advantage to force Tinsley to miss, while the rest of the Hawks almost always had an advantage in speed and agility, and everyone else was making rounds and pick-and-rolls for their defenders.

It can be said that Tinsley forced himself into this position, and the Hawks' defensive tactics were very successful, and it was likely to force Tinsley to make a wrong pass or make an irrational shot.

However, Tinsley did not coax the defense of the strongest player in the same class as before, and when he reached the bottom line, he directly leaned sideways against Liu Mang!

Tinsley's second of the only two scoring methods, by hitting!

Tinsley is a slightly chubby player, with a weight of 191 cm and a height of 92 kg.

Liu Mang's weight is also 89 kilograms after gaining weight in the summer, which is okay at his height, of course, it can't be compared with Wade's tonnage of more than 100 kilograms at his peak, but Westbrook was 91 kilograms at his peak.

Ktinsley has a full 92 kilograms!

Tinsley's impact is not excellent, he has few free throws and a shooting percentage of more than 40 percent in the season, but his low post is very good!

Tinsley squeezed fiercely towards Liu Mang, and Liu Mang found that he really couldn't bear it! Tinsley squeezed a few steps and squeezed Liu Mang into the three-second zone!

Liu Mang reacted quickly and knew that he couldn't stop it, so he changed his way and raised his hand high to cover Tinsley's shooting angle, Tinsley didn't flinch, and forced Liu Mang to shoot it!

The ball hit the basket and didn't go in!

Liu Mang turned around and grabbed the rebound, although it was a little unexpected how to win the rebound so easily, but immediately wanted to hold the ball and counterattack, and found that the opponent collectively retreated quickly, and did not even fight for the offensive rebound, you must know that the Pacers now have an absolute physical advantage, two seven-foot inside, and the Hawks are two short inside.

Liu Mang had an ominous premonition, and after advancing to the frontcourt, he found that the opponent's defense had changed! is no longer to defend him with Tinsley, who is not so good in defense, but to strengthen his defense countless times, and use Artest to defend him!

Liu Mang looked at Tinsley, who was in the position of Rahimm with a faceless and resolute attitude, and Liu Mang's ominous premonition was even clearer!

However, Liu Mang really didn't dare to pass to Raheem for the first time, there were too many people on the inside, it was useless for Muhammad to open up space, Brad Miller didn't go out at all, and he was always preparing to help defend Rahim, and O'Neal Jr. was also ready to shrink at any time.

Liu Mang looked at Artest in front of him, although Artest is a heavy defensive iron gate, but before the Auburn Hills Palace incident, he was also top-notch, fast and powerful, known as the bad hand version of LeBron James, he will enter the strongest stage after Coach Carlisle comes, averaging 20 points and 4 assists per game while winning the best defensive player, speaking of which, it will be next season, although Artest has not yet entered the peak this year, it is not far off, It's just that Isaiah Thomas won't use it, and will only use him as a muscle gate that grinds the core of the opponent's forward line.

Although Artest chatted happily with Liu Mang before the game, he also liked this opponent, Artest likes this kind of tough and even arrogant opponent, of course, this kind of liking makes Artest defend harder.

Liu Mang has always felt that Artest and James should not appear on the basketball court and play football, shouldn't they play football? Also, what about the love of world peace? This rough action is not peaceful at all!

Liu Mang tried to change direction to break through Artest, but the effect was not good, Artest's defensive prediction ability is too strong, and the pace is good, the key is that there are really not many small movements, all rely on real hardness, although Bowen is the best defense for a while, but Liu Mang feels that Artest's defense is the strongest in today's small forwards! It may even be the strongest in the league!

The best defensive player really isn't a cover!

Liu Mang couldn't make a breakthrough, beckoned Boozer to come over to block and dismantle, Boozer came up to help Liu Mang block Artest, and the moment Boozer came into contact with Artest who wanted to bypass the block, he felt like he had been beaten with an iron bump, and he understood how difficult it was for Rahim to hit the bottom!

Liu Mang cut in by blocking and dismantling, and O'Neal Jr., who followed Boozer's defense, blocked in front of Liu Mang, and O'Neal Jr. leaned towards the right, wanting to prevent Liu Mang's right side from breaking through, Liu Mang slapped the ball to the left, and wanted to step back and soar for three points, but!

Artest is coming! Little O'Neill also pounced!

O'Neal Jr. and Artest both ignored Boozer, who took a step outside the top corner on the left side of the free throw line, and came over to wrap Liu Mang!

Depend on! Liu Mang felt that these two people were crazy! The ball was passed to Boozer at the first time, and Boozer received the ball and hit a long two-point accurate shot.

Boozer's skills are indeed mature and comprehensive, if it weren't for his birth background, he should have been cultivated as a core insider, watching Boozer pretend that he has hair and pretend to have a comb in his hand after scoring two points, Liu Mang is so helpless, such an important game, he is actually handsome, and he has long known that he will not teach this guy to celebrate the action.

Liu Mang hurriedly returned to the defense, wanting to prevent the opponent from attacking quickly, but found that the walker was slowly advancing over.

Liu Mang watched Tinsley push over, this time he took two steps back to defend, he found that Tinsley seemed to want to scare him hard, although he didn't care about physical fitness, but that kind of offense, Liu Mang could not defend it was a problem, mainly because it was very likely to be fouled by the opponent!

Therefore, Liu Mang chose to take a step back and defend, with a posture that you like to vote or not.

Tinsley's three-point shooting is very sassy, last season he averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game, shooting rate of 24 percent, this season he has played an average of 1.8 three-pointers per game, the shooting rate is 17 percent, and he is wave and iron.

However, this time, Tinsley did not throw, but broke through towards Liu Mang and forcibly made physical contact with Liu Mang!

Liu Mang was forced to press Tinsley to the bottom line, and in the same position, the same Tinsley once again relied on Liu Mang to fight!

O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller both relied on the wide shooting area to open up the space, and it was Tinsley who sat in the low post and played again!

This time, Tinsley was even more ferocious, squeezing Liu Mang and about to force the shot, Liu Mang wanted to rely on his arm span advantage to block, and hit Tinsley's hand!

The referee's whistle blows, and the shooting foul is fouled!

This kind of stunned young man who is generally going to do it with his life, Liu Mang found that it was really difficult to deal with!

Tinsley hit both free throws to help the Pacers keep the margin at five.

At 19-14, the Hawks led by five points.

It's time for the Eagles to attack again, and Liu Mang faintly felt that something was wrong in the last round, so this time he asked Muhammad to come up to block and dismantle, and as a result, a more troublesome situation appeared, when Brad Miller came out, he appeared directly behind Muhammad who was blocking and dismantling Liu Mang in advance!

Artest blocked Liu Mang's way back at the other end, and with Muhammad, the four of them stuffed together in a circle with a radius of half a meter like a plate of black and white buns!

Liu Mang wanted to pass the ball but couldn't pass it, wanted to dribble back, was pressed and walked several steps in a row, and hugged the ball!

The referee's whistle blows, and the walking is violated!

Brad Miller and Artest high-five, defensive success!

Unlike O'Neal Jr., who is good at interior single defense and help defense blocking, Brad Miller is very good at blocking and pick-and-rolling, and the key is that the Pacers have a clear goal! As long as Liu Mang is blocked, so Brad Miller, an interior player who plays purely by his brain and height, will defend better than O'Neal Jr.

Liu Mang smashed the ball to the ground in frustration, then handed it to the referee, turned around and went back to defense.

Liu Mang probably guessed the Pacers' little tricks, so when he was defending this time, he and Prince switched defenses!

With Prince, Liu Mang can focus on defending the opposing point guard or scoring guard with the ball, which is the key to the Hawks' better outside defense than last season.

But......

This time, Reggie Miller actually went to the low post! Liu Mang followed to the low post, watching Reggie Miller leaning on himself to ask for the ball, and a mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out!

Co-authored, is it really a young master, who is low and strong?

Liu Mang was also angry!

"Wow, our three-point king, you don't shoot three-pointers outside with your soft and slippery run, so you can't think of coming inside, do you want to use your soft body to make me feel uncomfortable and score easily?" Liu Mang's poisonous mouth mode is on.

"Well, you guessed it, I'd love to take off my pants and hang out with you in a pair of gold bottoms." Reggie Miller immediately countered.

Originally, since the 2000-2001 season, when the Pacers slipped from being the Eastern Conference champion last season to almost not making the playoffs, Reggie Miller has rarely spoken trash talk, mainly players in the eighties and nineties, when the team's strength is not good, they have little confidence in trash talk, of course, the tough No. 21 does not count.

But today, Reggie Miller's poisonous mouth is back!

Moreover, this picture is too strong! Liu Mang thought of that picture, and he was almost disgusted!

Reggie Miller took the opportunity to run back, Tinsley's pass was indeed proper, worthy of being the assist king of the 2001 rookie, the average assists per game before the major injury was not less than 5, and the average assists per game were above 6 when he retired.

Trash talk is powerful, the reverse run is very good, and the pass that leads people with the ball is also great, but unfortunately the shot is still a little off, and it is indeed the most difficult to shoot two points from a distance that is not far away, otherwise Kobe Bryant and Jordan and Nowitzki will not be so difficult to defend.

Reggie Miller's long two-point iron is on!

Liu Mang easily accepted the rebound again, but the Pacers still had no intention of impacting the rebound, and directly retreated quickly.

After Liu Mang pushed through, as long as he blocked and dismantled, he immediately encountered the bag again, and returned to the defensive end, he went to defend Artest, and Artest also began to play strongly......

Liu Mang completely understood this time!

The other party is messing with him!

No matter how you get it, you just don't want him to shoot three points, or even let him score, and then when it's time for him to defend, it's always the one he defends to play!

……

Isaiah Thomas is very shrewd in terms of careful thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have made so many things out of the Knicks' little tricks, and he knows that it will be difficult to win while trying to juggle Reggie Miller's face.

Therefore, Isaiah Thomas has a different goal in this game, first, to ensure that the team does not fight, and second, to help Reggie Miller regain face, enhance team cohesion, and win again in the next game, it doesn't matter if one game can be played more united and better, a game loss is worth it.

As for offensive rebounding, according to the scouting report, Isaiah Thomas found something very weird, incredible and even a little admirable, that is, the most efficient player in the Hawks' team, not Rahim, not Muhammad, not these two guys who average rebounds per game, but since December 21, he has averaged 9 points per game and 7 points per game after becoming the main rotation. 5 plates of boozer!

During that time, Boozer averaged 7.5 rebounds in 22 minutes per game!

Although it now seems that O'Neal Jr.'s average of 10.4 rebounds per game is better than Boozer's, and it is only worse than Raheem, who averages 11.3 rebounds per game, in both teams, but that is based on O'Neal Jr.'s average playing time of 38 minutes per game, and the rebounding efficiency of O'Neal Jr. can only be said to be good, and it is likely to delay the defense counterattack if he insists on grabbing offensive rebounds, so Isaiah Thomas gave up most of the things, just to engage Liu Mang, and he is determined to help Reggie Miller get back face!

……

……

Liu Mang struggled for a few rounds, and then decisively chose to follow the rhythm of the pacers.

No way, do you want to force the investment? It's not a way to send points to iron, Artest's physical strength is too good, Rahim has strength, Artest's anti-Rahim consumption is relatively large, but Liu Mang's physical fitness is much easier, Liu Mang really doesn't have the ability to grind Artest, after all, he is a technical stream.

Although Liu Mang attaches great importance to the three-point task, he can't play a few blind games by himself, which causes the team to lose.

Therefore, Liu Mang simply followed the rhythm of the Pacers, using them to frantically wrap himself, and began the "all-around flow" style of playing with passing and grabbing rebounds, and because he had seen Brad Miller rely on his height and the threat of early packing, he now wants to block and dismantle with teammates with mid-to-long-range shots, Raheem, Prince, Boozer, etc.

In this case, several Eagles pitchers are overturned!

Even Jason Terry came up and picked up a lot of open shots, and the Hawks' scoring kept rising.

On the Pacers' side, while targeting Liu Mang, they are also trying to score and chase the score, not to mention, when Liu Mang defends outside shooters and non-strong eating outside lines, the effect is very good, but the defense of the low post is really average, because the Hawks' defensive system is very clear when there is Ratliff in the presence of the outside line, and the outside line is Rahim defense in the low post, and there is Ratliff standing behind him, which is proper, but the Pacers big center can also pull out and shoot three points, which is still very alternative in the entire NBA, and Liu Mang has been forced to eat a lot inside.

Of course, there are a lot of Pacers who don't score, Liu Mang also learned to be obedient after defending Artest once, and only changed the defense to the opposing guard's Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Eric Strickland, Jonathan Bender, the four guards who are about the same height and are not composed of muscle bumps, so the defensive success rate is half and half, which is neither good nor too bad, after all, his ability to defend the low post is really average.

This made Liu Mang accidentally get 13 rebounds halfway through the fourth quarter, and the chance of his split after being wrapped up is also very high, with 14 assists, plus two three-pointers he just played, as well as a three-pointer in the second and third quarters, and 4 free throws in 3 of 3.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Liu Mang, who had not taken a break since he started the first quarter, shot 4 of 14 and 4 of 13 three-pointers, and got a triple-double of 15 points, 14 assists and 13 rebounds!

Liu Mang's first triple double in his career! It came so suddenly, no one expected it at all, and it was a large triple pair!

Liu Mang continued to make a choke lock after the third and fourth three-point shots, the referee and the coaches of both teams were terrified, but fortunately, the players of both teams were very calm, especially the Pacers did not have a tendency to fight, but they were more decisive about Liu Mang's defensive package, which made the referees and the coaches of both teams breathe a sigh of relief.

By the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the Hawks led the Pacers by 12 points, 102-90!

Looking at the score situation is not bad, and his second-year data is so coquettish, Rahim, Jason Terry, and Boozer have all scored 20 points, and Coach Kruger finally breathed a sigh of relief, and this game is estimated to be a big problem.

"Ace, is your physical strength okay? Need a break? "Coach Kruger is now starting to care about his disciples.

Liu Mang shook his head and said that he was fine, his physical fitness is already very good now, although there is a gap from Hamilton's close to full physical fitness, but he also has 87 excellent physical fitness, even if he plays like this today, he only played one physical fitness potion before the start of the fourth quarter, and the biggest role of his physical fitness potion now is training, and he uses it less and less during the game.

Watching Liu Mang say that he was fine, and although he hit 12 irons angrily today, he was not stubborn enough to insist on throwing three points to death, and the point was up, the pass was still a pass, which made Coach Kruger very satisfied, and did not forget about the game in order to show off three points in front of Reggie Miller, 4 of 13 three-point shots, in the eyes of Coach Kruger in this era, this is already very good, with a 31% shooting rate, and some teams can't score 4 three-pointers in the first game of the year, like the Cavaliers, This season, he averaged only 4.3 three-pointers per game, and the team's three-point shooting rate was only 32 percent.

The average per game is high and low, that is, there are often times when the whole game makes less than 4 three-point shots.

And when Liu Mang shoots three points, he will try his best to fight for space, rather than relying on bounce hard shots, which is the most satisfying place for Coach Kruger, who wants to compete with the opponent, but does not lose his calmness, and 14 assists are the best proof.

But Liu Mang hates himself now for not having a wave! What is a game, the main thing is that there are still 4 three-pointers left, Liu Mang is so desperate!

What is one game, this game, it is very likely to affect the team for 4 games!

No more!

Liu Mang is going to be ruthless, there are 5 minutes left, 12 points ahead, whatever, the master is going to wave!

Liu Mang was not afraid of wasting, he took a shot of physical energy potion and prepared to dry!

And then...... In the distressed gaze of Coach Kruger, he ran to the sidelines to drink Gatorade.

Coach Krueger looked at the already stacked Gatorade paper cups, and said to himself: "Ace, our master and apprentice are also millions of people, and you are the player with the highest endorsement fee in the NBA today except for Jordan, we don't lack this drink money, don't be ashamed, okay......"

……

On the Pacers bench side, Isaiah Thomas was still emphasizing the need to lock up Liu Mang, after Liu Mang scored three points in the second and third quarters, Isaiah Thomas immediately called a timeout, first, because he was afraid that his teammates would have a hot head, and secondly, Liu Mang hit the iron several times before throwing the third and fourth three-pointers, and the iron hit made the Pacers players relax their defensive vigilance against Liu Mang, so Liu Mang seized the opportunity to shoot two more three-pointers, so Isaiah Thomas immediately called a timeout to strengthen the defensive strategy.

For example, in the first half of the fourth quarter, because it was the last quarter, the Pacers players' concentration was at its highest, Liu Mang made three three-point shots in the fourth quarter, and one was directly capped by Artest.

But just when Isaiah Thomas emphasized the need to prevent Liu Mang from dying, Reggie Miller stood up: "Isaiah, brothers, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me, I am not afraid of being criticized, I am not afraid of losing face, everything you have done for me, I think this is enough, rather than locking up that hateful boy, I want us to enjoy the glory of victory together, rather than here for this little thing, let us all bear the infamy that we cannot afford to lose!" ”

Reggie Miller saw that the difference was only 12 points and there were five minutes left, not without chances.

But if you keep playing like before, seeing that Liu Mang has nine three-point irons, there must be that kind of joy, but at the same time, it is also accompanied by a feeling of embarrassment, just like the Magic team played against the Lakers for the first time after losing O'Neal, giving O'Neal 28 free throws, so that O'Neal only scored 16 points, but the Magic team lost, the kind of game that lost despite limiting O'Neal with foul tactics, but all Orlando fans felt ashamed! It is worth mentioning that the shark slashing tactic is also a tactic developed by Nelson Sr. who saw the Magic team take advantage of the shortcomings of his former super center to develop a burst of inspiration after defense.

Coveting a moment of refreshment, it brings a black history in the future, in this case, Reggie Miller chooses not to!

And very importantly, the Pacers don't have a chance to win! Today's Pacers players feel very hot, under this strange offensive and defensive play style of Liu Mang, the Pacers are only 12 points behind, play hard, and they will not necessarily lose!

It's all going on with 5 minutes left, and Reggie Miller thinks that's enough!

However, Reggie Miller probably didn't expect that his words would make the Pacers players respect him more - he was so considerate of the younger generations!

"Reggie, you ......" Isaiah Thomas saw the players who had become more cohesive because of Reggie Miller's words, so he showed an assassin's smile, the purpose has been achieved, all he wants is not to fight and increase cohesion, so Isaiah Thomas said: "Okay, I think it's almost there, it's time to win, boys, we have to play well, but we can still use ......"

Even Tyronn Lue can win the championship by chance, and Isaiah Thomas was still good when he formed the team system before the game, but the on-the-spot command was average, but occasionally there were flashes of inspiration when it was not, and suddenly the on-the-spot command ability was overwhelming......

……

……

Both teams fielded their core lineups in the final moments.

On the Hawks' side, except for Boozer, who replaced Mohammed on the court at a critical moment, other positions remained unchanged, with Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Boozer, and Ratliff on the court.

The Pacers are also a lineup combination of Tinsley, Reggie Miller, Artest, O'Neal Jr., and Brad Miller.

The physical consumption of the two teams is not big after the Pacers' defense starts, because the Pacers are always the guards who eat Liu Mang as the beginning of the offense, which greatly reduces the player's technical requirements, and the inside line just presses Liu Mang to chisel, and the defensive end is all packs, and the Pacers' consumption is not large.

So at this time, the physical condition of the core members of the two teams is good.

The timeout came back and the Pacers attacked.

Tinsley saw that Liu Mang was on defense, but he still chose to break through.

The Eagles players are a little slack, seeing this kind of offense, they feel that they don't need to defend themselves, and they must be scolding Liu Mang again, and the Pacers' careful thinking, the Eagles players all understand that they have to deal with their own sophomores.

My second-grade is not a dumb loser.,No.,Three pairs are here.,Let your second-grade go to defense!

At this moment, Artest suddenly shook off Raheem and rushed into the inside, so suddenly, you must know that in the first three quarters, although Tinsley also passed, but they all met the outside line after the bag, and the Pacers did not interfere with Liu Mang being eaten raw from Liu Mang to the fourth quarter before the official timeout.

This time Artest's air cut came too suddenly, seeing Artest receiving the ball in the middle distance and impacting the basket, although the defensive effect is not good, but the attitude is very good, but the defensive skills are terrible Boozer moved from the bottom line to block Artest, Raheem reacted and also chased from behind, wanting to chase the big hat.

Everyone saw Artest's reckless style of play, and they thought that he must have come by himself, after all, such a strong physicality and a head that didn't look very smart, so Boozer and Raheem's defensive cooperation was quite tacit.

However, the English poet Sassoon said it well, there is a tiger in his heart to sniff the rose, Artest is not stupid at all, except for impulsiveness, he is a very team player, and the thief is clever, the first goal of receiving the ball is not to go on himself, but to attract the defense and pass the ball, otherwise how can Boozer's speed catch up with him, he is deliberate!

After getting caught in the bag, Artest threw the ball to the left, O'Neal Jr. received the ball, and at the same time, Reggie Miller bypassed O'Neal Jr., O'Neal Jr. stepped on his thigh, stuck the position of the baseline to prevent Jason Terry from chasing out, and then passed the ball behind his head to the bottom corner, and Reggie Miller received the ball in the bottom corner and shot a three-point shot......

Hit!

93-102, the Pacers chased the difference to 9 points!

After the goal, the Pacers hurried back to defense, they were still afraid of Liu Mang's counterattack and fast attack, Reggie Miller did not forget to turn back to Liu Mang in the process of returning to defend with a wave of provocation, and once again spread his fingers to cover his face.

But unexpectedly, Liu Mang actually showed a surprised expression, as if he had forgotten to connect the serve, Rahim was ready to serve, but Liu Mang actually turned his back to him.

The other party began to fight normally! Liu Mang is so excited!

Although the difficulty of the game has increased, it is possible, it is just possible, and the opponent's defense may also be normalized! Because the other party has the idea of winning!

The most painful thing for Liu Mang before was that the Pacers didn't care about the outcome at all, and they were desperate to defend against his three points, which made him play with a headache.

Although because the opponent has always been very good at biting the point difference, after starting to play normally now, there is a certain threat for the Eagles to win, but Liu Mang is very excited! The opponent played normally, although it was difficult to win, but his task may have fallen!

And the opponent plays normally, which is also good for the Eagles' offense!

Just when the Pacers were playing with their lives, Liu Mang called a timeout.

The Pacers player almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood: That bastard is a sophomore!

The Pacers players decided that this bastard definitely wanted to upset them and deliberately called a timeout!

In fact, Liu Mang just wanted to arrange three-point tactics, and for more than an hour, his teammates might have forgotten the three-point tactics he had arranged before.

Coach Kruger watched Liu Mang draw with the tactical board, and went to take the last cup of Gatorade in his hand, and saw that the staff had gone to the away team to "borrow" a few Gatorades, and Coach Kruger felt that the staff really didn't necessarily "borrow" it, and it would be gone if he didn't drink it!

As for the duties of the head coach...... Coach Krueger said that this kind of bizarre game is not something that his orthodox head coach should do......

……

……

After the timeout, the lineups of the two teams remained unchanged, and the Eagles served in the midfield.

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced to the three-point line, and watched Tinsley defend it, Liu Mang knew that the Pacers' defense had also normalized!

Although the normalized Pacers' defense will definitely be raised by more than a notch, and it will not allow the Hawks to score so easily, Liu Mang feels very excited.

Liu Mang compared a 5 with his left hand, that is, E tactics, Ele Vettel, Elevator tactics!

And then the Eagles' weird tactics began!

Boozer first jammed Brad Miller with a stocky body, and Ratliff took a step away from the free throw line at a 45-degree angle on the right side with a pick-and-roll, while O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller were both closer to the basket than Boozer.

At this time, Liu Mang in the top arc held the ball and Jason Terry at a 45-degree angle ran in the direction of Ratliff at the same time, Jason Terry took the first step around Ratliffe and rushed to O'Neal Jr., who was bypassing Boozer's defense, and then changed direction, with a posture of rushing to the bottom corner of the other side, and O'Neal Jr. hurriedly ran with Jason Terry.

Liu Mang rushed to Ratliff with the ball after Jason Terry bypassed Ratliff, and also wanted to go around the pile, at this time Reggie Miller and Tinsley came over to wrap Liu Mang together, and immediately passed the ball to Ratliffe, who turned to face the basket and lifted the ball high!

At this time, Liu Mang, who passed the ball out, bypassed Ratliff to the free throw line, and stuck Artest for Rahim, who cut in from a 30-degree angle on the left side, Liu Mang used the posture of hugging, and that's it, he was still forced to take a step back, so that Liu Mang almost scolded his mother, Artest is so terrifying, how terrifying should it be for a hairband man with no hairline at the peak!

Seeing Raheem cut in, Brad Miller hurriedly moved over, Reggie Miller and Tinsley also followed in when Liu Mang ran to block without the ball, and saw Boozer, who was let go by Brad Miller, opened up space to catch the ball, Reggie Miller and Tinsley hurriedly moved towards Boozer.

At this moment, Liu Mang ran back to the outside, and Artest followed Liu Mang very keenly, but at this time, Ratliff took a step and handed it to Liu Mang, and then stuck in front of Artest, and Liu Mang had a perfect vacancy in the top arc! After adjusting it, Liu Mang made a three-point shot and hit again!

Fifth three-pointer!

Liu Mang made his fifth three-pointer!

The minimum mission objective has been achieved!

This made Liu Mang breathe a sigh of relief, and finally reduced the number of punishment sessions to the point where he could accept it, and there were still nearly 4 minutes left, so he had every chance to score three more!

105 to 93, still a 12-point difference!

Seeing that Liu Mang scored another three points, the referee and the head coaches of the two teams secretly screamed that it was not good, do they still want to come?

Yes, they guessed right.

After Liu Mang scored three points, he turned to Reggie Miller, who was celebrating him a minute ago, crossed his hands again, grabbed his neck, and made a suffocating gesture!

The Pacers players can't help it! Look at Reggie Miller, as long as the boss is not happy, start fighting!

However, unexpectedly, not only the Pacers players didn't expect it, but Liu Mang didn't expect it either, Reggie Miller actually laughed!

Sometimes what people's heads see and judge, it is very likely to deviate from the facts, subjective consciousness is very important, Reggie Miller watched Liu Mang make that action again, it was the fifth time, but he just did that kind of action, and he didn't have any contempt for himself, from Liu Mang's defense of himself, he also sprayed trash talk and was not the kind of trash talk that he looked down on, it was to provoke his trash talk, so that Reggie Miller suddenly had a little "enlightenment".

This sophomore, it seems, just wants to enjoy the feeling of competing with himself, the three-point king of history!

Not to mention, just looking at the content of the mission, Liu Mang really wanted to compete with Reggie Miller throughout the game, but other than that, there was no more behavior!

Liu Mang has never denied how strong Reggie Miller's three-point shooting is, never mocked Reggie Miller about his strength and honors, and never mentioned the number of three-point shots in a single season that have been broken by Liu Mang.

In Reggie Miller's view, although Liu Mang is annoying, although arrogant, but it may be too simple to beat the previous celebrity, Reggie Miller is a little "enlightened", should it be this guy, want to have a vigorous three-point duel with himself when he still has the strength to fight!

Thinking of this, Reggie Miller couldn't help but smile as he watched Liu Mang's throat locking action.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way! Since the decline of the team in the 2000-2001 season, Reggie Miller has no longer been the target of young players, and the title of No. 1 three-pointer has been snatched away by Ray Allen in the past two seasons.

But this time, Liu Mang insisted on provoking himself regardless of it, Reggie Miller suddenly felt that this second-year man didn't seem to be so hateful, hated and hated, but what he did was really good, the defense was active and fierce, but it didn't hurt people, and he had an arrogant attitude, but he didn't deny the strength of his opponent, he made a little achievement, but he never publicized it in front of others, and it was getting stronger and stronger, and the progress was visible to the naked eye, this kind of young man, Reggie Miller suddenly felt that this second-grade stinky boy was really powerful.

Is it better than three points?

Reggie Miller is ready to start playing, and Mr. Death, who scored 8 points in 8 seconds, is about to start showing his real running skills and shooting!

Seeing that Reggie Miller was not angry, the Pacers players wondered, but the anger also disappeared, just like the boss said, winning is the best way to show the other party that he is strong!

The Pacers offense, Reggie Miller began a variety of interspersed runs, although there is no rich three-point tactical library like Liu Mang, but three-point sharpshooters of all ages have their own defense to get shooting opportunities, and Reggie Miller's three-point shooting era is not like the future tactics are full of three-point shooting, so it is more difficult, and it can also be said that the three-point shooting ability required from the perspective of the sharpshooter is in higher demand.

Reggie Miller continued to block and dismantle, and finally appeared outside the three-point line at a 60-degree angle, and received O'Neal Jr.'s three-point shot!

Reggie Miller returned Liu Mang again!

4-of-6 shooting, Reggie Miller also made four three-pointers today! Not only is it not inferior to Liu Mang's 5 three-pointers, but the efficiency is much higher, Reggie Miller has never been a prodigal shooter.

Just after Reggie Miller scored, Liu Mang spread his five fingers again, Rahim immediately picked up the ball and served it to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball and counterattacked with the ball!

Artest just grabbed a rebound in the inside card position, and wanted to chase Liu Mang for the first time, but was blocked by Ratliff!

At the same time, people who want to chase Liu Mang in other positions, Reggie Miller was blocked by Boozer after scoring three points, O'Neal Jr. was stopped by Raheem who came out of the ball, and Tinsley, who was closest to Liu Mang, was blocked by Jason Terry, Liu Mang quickly rushed to the front court and chased the three-point shot!

The Pacers also had a free Brad Miller who could only watch Liu Mang quickly chase down the three-pointers, and then before the ball could go in, they saw Jason Terry turn towards the fans and stretch out his hands to the sky to cheer.

At the same time that the cheers of the fans were aroused, Liu Mang's chase three points rushed into the basket!

The cheers of the fans at the scene exploded even more.

Looking at the sixth three-point shot, Liu Mang saw the ball fall into the basket, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

This time there was no need for the system to prompt, Liu Mang took a deep breath, turned around and turned towards Reggie Miller, who had just broken free from Boozer and ran a few steps, and made a death choke action again!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh when they saw Reggie Miller again, and everyone "believed" that Liu Mang was challenging Reggie Miller!

Reggie Miller's fighting spirit is starting to burn!

Seeing that he hit three points and two in a row, and the opponent immediately returned, Reggie Miller knew that it would be difficult to win it today, and the difference in strength between the two teams was really big.

That's why Reggie Miller originally planned to retire this summer, until he accidentally picked up Carlisle as a coach, and rekindled his fighting spirit.

However, in this game, just this game, Reggie Miller wants to fight in the last three minutes!

……

……

There was a chance in the last few minutes, but after Liu Mang's three points in the last few minutes were completely empty, he was too accurate, and he hit the iron when he was strictly guarded before, which gave Liu Mang a lot of opportunities to adjust, and the shooting at the last moment was extremely accurate, and it looked nonsensical and childish to block and dismantle the card position and shoot three points when he had a chance on the inside, which looked so unreliable, but Liu Mang had seen how successful this tactic was, so he shot very confidently, and the waves flew up.

Although Reggie Miller scored 5 three-pointers in the last five minutes, raising the three-pointers to 7 in the whole game, Liu Mang also scored 4 three-pointers in the last five minutes, and at the same time, because the Pacers were forced to start wrapping Liu Mang again, and it was not malicious packing, it was Liu Mang who scored 8 three-pointers in the whole game and wrapped it because he was too accurate, so that Liu Mang sent two more assists.

With 17 seconds left, the Hawks led the Pacers 119-110, at this time the Hawks offense Liu Mang was wrapped up and passed out of bounds, Reggie Miller smiled bitterly, 17 seconds behind 9 points, it seems that it is not very difficult for a guy who has done 8 seconds and 8 points, however, Reggie Miller saw the strength of the young man and knew that he was really old.

Surrendered!

Reggie Miller received the serve and dribbled to the front court without attacking.

At this time, the big screen showed the three-point comparison between Liu Mang and Reggie Miller.

Reggie Miller shot 7 of 13 three-pointers, Liu Mang shot 8 of 20, not to mention the shooting percentage or anything, Liu Mang defeated Reggie Miller from the number of three-point shots!

Liu Mang got a big triple-double of 27 points, 16 assists, 14 rebounds and eight three-pointers, and led the Hawks to victory over the Pacers led by Reggie Miller! 119-110, the score was frozen from the moment Reggie Miller gave up the offense!

……

After the game, Liu Mang was surrounded by a large number of media without any suspense, whether it was a large triple-double or a provocation to Reggie Miller.

Liu Mang only left one sentence: "Today, maintain the strongest respect, play the most serious game, and challenge the strongest opponent with the most adequate preparation." ”

Regarding Liu Mang's remarks after the game, Reggie Miller only responded with one sentence in an interview, and said it with a smile: The time of young people has arrived, isn't it?
