With a roar from Rashid Wallace, the scene became dry!

Playing the Nets, Hawks fans will never lack enthusiasm, and although revenge has been taken, the hatred will not be extinguished.

Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air, further driving the frantic cheers of the fans onto the court.

The Hawks fielded a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rashid Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Nets fielded Kidd, Carter, Eric Williams, Kostic, Ratliff.

Kwame Brown didn't give face to Ratliff, who had taught him a lot before, and won the jump ball with ease.

After receiving the ball, Liu Mang immediately passed it to Maddie, and then ran wildly forward, wanting to take advantage of Kidd's current knee injury and take advantage of the rhythm.

Who knows, after Liu Mang dodged Eric Williams and entered the three-point line, he was immediately stuck by Kidd, and Kidd used accurate prediction to judge Liu Mang's run, not only that, but the whole Nets team seems to have a full study of the Hawks' run, and can always appear in the right defensive position.

Kostic, one of the Nets' twin towers, moved quickly and kept up with Rasheed Wallace, while Carter and Eric Williams were both physical, and with full preparation, they blocked the Hawks' opening fast break!

Maddie was forced to stop the ball by Carter at a 45-degree angle on the right side, Maddie was too careless and despised Carter's defense too much, and Carter, who defended seriously, had a quasi-first-class defensive effect.

Liu Mang withdrew and came to the top arc, and Maddie immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang.

What an unexpected! Liu Mang didn't expect Kidd, whose speed had dropped so much, to be able to keep up with the defense, worthy of being a defensive master who could be selected as a defense at the age of 33 after minimally invasive surgery, although Kidd, who is not yet 32 years old, has lost his speed and explosiveness, Kidd's breakthrough on the offensive end has become very poor, and the scoring means have become mainly empty shots, but the defense has not slipped too much, and the awareness and defensive skills and the prediction of the offense are too powerful.

Liu Mang accelerated and made a strong breakthrough, Kidd can always appear in the most suitable position, the movement choice is very correct, and the decline in speed makes Kidd's defensive awareness better!

Liu Mang was not in a hurry, and beckoned Maddie, who had opened up the space, to come over to block the demolition.

Maddie came up to help Liu Mang block Kidd, Liu Mang took advantage of Maddie's blocking and dismantling, breaking through from the right side of the top arc, Carter wanted to switch defenses to block Liu Mang, but was blocked by another person!

Kwame Brown!

Quite tacit and positive second block!

Liu Mang borrowed a double block and smashed into the basket! In the three-second zone, Liu Mang slowed down and took two steps.

Ratliff stayed under the basket, waiting for Liu Mang to jump, he knew Liu Mang's basket offense very well, and was not deceived by Liu Mang's slow-motion footsteps, and firmly guarded the most suitable block position.

Liu Mang has already taken two steps, and the third step can only catch the ball and jump against Ratliff and fly to the basket! Ratliff judged the timing, jumped up, and blocked towards Liu Mang, as long as Liu Mang picked up the ball, Ratliff was sure to cover it!

However, the direction of Rutliff's outstretched hand was misjudged! Liu Mang grabbed the ball and put it on his chest to jump, and after Ratliff seized the opportunity to jump up and reach out to block the layup route, Liu Mang took out the ball and threw it to the basket, which was his left hand!

Liu Mang stuck to Ratliff, bypassed Ratliff and slapped his right hand to the left, and hit a layup with a low hand!

Ratliff knows Liu Mang too well, Liu Mang's first three seasons, Ratliff watched Liu Mang grow up, but the more he understands, when Liu Mang's left and right hands are not much different, the more difficult it is to prevent Liu Mang!

The offense and defense switched to the Nets offense.

The Nets have a good study of the Hawks' offense, and the Hawks' coaching staff has a good defense against the Nets' offense.

The Nets' offense is really bad!

When Kidd is there, he points to Kidd's positional battle to command the run, and when Kidd is not there, he points to Carter singles, which is the team that wins by defense.

Carter didn't start with the ball and attacked, but went to run to try to tear apart the Hawks defense.

But Liu Mang, Maddy, and Prince rotated too quickly on the outside defense, and in the end, Carter received a pass from Kidd and shot hard against Maddy's block......

Didn't hit!

The ball was poked out of bounds by Ratliffe and did not give the Eagles a chance to fight back.

Playing the current Nets, the Hawks have too much advantage, they can't counterattack and break fast, and Liu Mang and Maddy take turns to play singles or block and dismantle offenses, and there is no big problem in scoring.

On the Nets' side, the Hawks defended quickly and defended well, but in the face of Liu Mang and Maddie, who were in very good shape today, whether it was Liu Mang's blocking offense or Maddy's singles, the Nets couldn't prevent it.

The Hawks quickly went on a 12-4 run to start the game with an eight-point lead, causing the Nets to call a timeout.

Nets head coach Lawrence Frank's defensive strategy is very good, blocking the Hawks' small-ball tactics, but I didn't expect Liu Mang and Maddy to feel so good today! In the opening game, the two combined to shoot 5 of 5, and there was a foul on Kostic who passed to Kwame Brown, who made up the defense, and Kwame Brown hit both free throws, and the Hawks missed a single shot in the opening game, scoring 12 points in a row.

After returning from the timeout, the Nets' rhythmic style of play became more pronounced, continuing to slow down the offensive pace and suppress the offensive rhythm of the Hawks on the defensive end.

The effect is still good, the Nets have been pressing the rhythm of the play, so that the speed of the Hawks has slowed down a lot, and they continue to enter the situation of Liu Mang and Maddie taking turns to play singles.

The most important thing that a team that wins by defense is patience, and the Nets are not short of patience, but they are so consumed that the shooting rate of Liu Mang and Maddie begins to decline.

And the offensive end of the Nets, handed over to Carter again, Carter paused and came back to cover all the Nets' scores, Carter's shooting range is too wide, the breakthrough is powerful, Prince defends very well, but he can't completely lock Carter, who basically has no dead ends inside and outside the three-point line, especially Carter can also shoot directly by blocking and dismantling Kidd's pass, Carter's mid-range shooting rate this season, 43 percent shooting rate in terms of mid-range shooting, 42.5 percent three-point shooting, although there are not many shots, only 4 three-pointers per game are averaged, He only averaged 7 shots per game, but it was too accurate!

By the sixth minute and 30 seconds of the first quarter, the Nets patiently held the difference and did not let the difference be stretched above 10 points.

At the time of the official timeout, the scores were tied at 17-10, with the Hawks leading the Nets by seven points.

……

The Nets are still very good! If it weren't for Kidd's minimally invasive surgery and not fully recovered, the Nets would have been a terrible team.

However, at this stage, Kidd has not fully recovered, even if Carter was healed of his foot injury by Liu Mang and has improved to the level closest to a superstar, but no matter how he scores with Liu Mang or with Madbi, it can't be compared, even if there is a pass from Kidd.

In this way, they continue to grind each other's positions and attack alone, Liu Mang does not have much pressure to win, and to Liu Mang's surprise, the rebounding pressure is not great, Liu Mang has grabbed two rebounds in the middle of the quarter, Maddie also got one, and Kidd and Carter only Carter has one rebound.

Liu Mang was going to use the bowling boy's star card to grab the rebound, but he didn't expect to use it.

Because Liu Mang didn't expect that the biggest gap between them and the Nets backcourt duo was not rebounding, but assists!

The Nets had 10 points, six of which were assists, and Carter had eight points in the first half of the quarter, two of which were scored by Kidd passes, and Carter drew a sandwich from Kwame Brown and Liu Mang after receiving the ball and cutting inside, and gave Ratliffe a layup.

The Nets got 3 assists in the first quarter!

And on the Hawks' side, the only opportunity for an assist was passed to Kwame Brown, and it was ruined by a foul on Kostic!

The Hawks had 0 assists in the first half of the game, which is much worse than the Hawks' average of 24.5 assists per game in the past month, an average of at least 6 assists per game per quarter!

Seeing Maddie put on his training uniform, Liu Mang knew that Maddie was going down to rest, since it was a singles, let the most prodigal Jason Terry come up, this is Liu Mang's understanding of Coach Kruger's substitution.

But Maddie goes down, how can he fight for an assist?

Liu Mang's eyes lit up as he watched Calderon help Jason Terry hand the training clothes he had taken off to the staff.

Calderon's pinnacle star card, don't you just have it?

Playing positional battles, with Calderon star cards, it couldn't be more suitable!

Let Maddie be in charge of scoring today, grabbing rebounds and assists by herself?

Liu Mang thinks it's very feasible! Maddie has scored 8 points just now, and Liu Mang only scored 5 points, precisely because the Nets are stricter on his defense, and Maddy's side is basically just Carter's single defense.

"System Boss, use Calderon Star Card!" It's so decisive, anyway, a Calderon star card, just use it.

"Ding...... The host uses Jose Calderón's 2011-2012 Peak Star Card, with an ability rating of 75-84 and a time limit for this game, 81 offensively, 72 defensively, 95 three-pointers, and 93 passing...... Traits: Master of Floor Flow Rhythm, 75% matching, ...... in matchmaking bonuses"

Seeing Calderon's ability evaluation, Liu Mang found that this guy was at the pinnacle, and he was also quite powerful! He didn't pay attention to Calderon's star card at all before, and he didn't notice that Calderon was at the peak of his peak, and he almost reached the level of a first-class star...... It's just that the ability of 75-84 fluctuates, and Liu Mang saw Calderon's characteristics and immediately understood why.

"Master of floor flow rhythm: Jose Calderón is proficient in the slow pace of the offense under FIBA rules, and the same is true in the NBA, when the pace of the game is slow, Jose Calderón, who is proficient in floor flow play, will be at his best, and his ability evaluation will be at its peak."

In other words, Calderón can only play his best in a slow-paced team, and on the edge of first-class stars, in most teams, he is a starting point guard who is okay in the starting lineup at his peak, relying on passing accuracy and shooting percentage to eat.

Calderon's three-point shooting is indeed amazing, Liu Mang feels jealous, it is worthy of being the top three-point player who has a season three-point shooting rate of 46 percent and a career three-point shooting rate of more than 40 percent in the future, and the three-point evaluation of the peak year actually reached 95!

Even if it's a no-ball shot, it's too powerful!

Liu Mang feels that the only pity in Calderon's shooting is that his physical fitness is too average, in addition to playing the position slowly grinding, relying on the opportunity to shoot in the position battle, Calderon shoots so accurately, but because of his limited physical fitness, he can't fully play such a good three-point shot, because he can't complete strong shots and wave shots, and can only rely on blocking and dismantling shots and catching shots to play his shooting ability.

But that's exactly in line with the current game, isn't!

"Ding...... The match bonus is completed, the host's three-point shooting evaluation is temporarily increased to 92, and a temporary trait is obtained: Master of Floor Flow Rhythm, when the game enters a slow-paced positional battle, the host passes the ball to a teammate, and the teammate receives the ball and shoots with +3 all-round shooting ability. ”

What a feature!

For Calderón himself, his ability to be judged by the system as a characteristic is his ability to control the rhythm of positional battles and dominate the running position of his teammates, etc., and the bonus given by the system to Liu Mang is the improvement of shooting efficiency that his teammates directly get under Calderon's organization and attack after Liu Mang's pass!

The official timeout was coming to an end, and Jason Terry was just about to play when he was pulled aside by Liu Mang.

Jason Terry saw the "sinister" expression on Liu Mang's face, and his vigilance skyrocketed: "Ace, don't pull me to play around, the coach will scold me, not you." ”

"Am I that kind of person?" Liu Mang said unhappily, not giving Jason Triza a chance, Liu Mang continued: "Jason, do you want to try to throw to fly?" ”

"Huh?"

……

The Hawks have a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Josh Smith and Mourning.

Kwame Brown was replaced to rest, and Coach Kruger wanted Mourning to run in with his teammates in the game earlier, after all, Mourning has not experienced the team's long-term tactical training and game run-in, so it is key for Mourning to integrate into the team as soon as possible.

The Nets also made substitutions, bringing on Rat Leaf, who had fitness and injury issues, and Eric Williams, who really didn't contribute.

The Nets replaced Kidd, Rodney Buford, Carter, Radmanovic and Kostic, who averaged 13 minutes, 7 points and 3 rebounds per game.

The Nets attack first after a timeout.

Seeing the Eagles replace the "old, young, sick and disabled" interior duo, Kidd immediately had an idea.

After Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, he encountered Liu Mang's defense, beckoned Radmanovic to come out to block and dismantle, Radmanovic came out to block Liu Mang, Kidd Rao blocked and demolished, Radmanovic blocked Liu Mang and immediately pulled away, Liu Mang had to chase after Radmanovic, this guy is very powerful in addition to skiing.

On Kidd's side, after Liu Mang was taken away, although the speed was not as fast as Josh Smith, he relied on the change of rhythm to deceive the still tender Josh Smith and burst into the inside, Mourning did not come out, completely ignoring Kidd's close-range shots, Kidd did not shoot directly because of this, but plunged into the basket.

At this time, Mo Ning had to defend against it, and he still had to defend himself for a layup under the basket.

After Kidd attracted Mourning's movement, he distributed the ball to Kostic in the middle distance on the right side of the three-second zone, and Kostic dribbled to the basket, and Kostic was excited to dunk Mourning.

However, when Mourning was attracted to Kidd, he turned and jumped and slapped the ball raised by Kostic!

Mourning jumped on the spot, and even took the ball and flipped the Kostic hat to the ground!

The ball is fanned on the floor by Mourning and popped out of bounds!

Kidd and Kostic are both dumbfounded!

Kostic fell to the floor, looking at Mo Ning, who was only two meters and eight meters tall, still so old, had had his kidney replaced, and had a little white beard, he didn't expect this situation at all!

The fans at the scene immediately began to cheer for Mo Ning frantically, it was amazing!

It's still the Nets offense, Kostic doesn't believe in evil, carries Mourning to the ball and plays alone, he doesn't move for a long time, time is running out, he directly holds it high, and is once again capped down by Mourning, and the offense violates in 24 seconds!

Kidd saw that whether Kostic was catching the ball and hitting the basket or playing high, he was taken down by Mourning's hat, and he was capped twice in a row, and he was about to vomit blood!

Why wasn't Mourning so powerful when he was there! When it comes to the Eagles, it becomes so powerful!

Then something happened that made Kidd's heart plug, after Liu Mang was transported to the frontcourt, Kidd was just ready to defend against Liu Mang, and he had already made gestures for his teammates to be ready to cut off the passing route of Liu Mang and his teammates at any time, who knew that Liu Mang had just arrived in the front court and immediately threw it to Jason Terry, and even more beautiful thought that Jason Terry received the ball and threw it directly before Carter could react!

Completely ignore the rhythm, completely ignore the inside teammates have not occupied a good rebounding position, just throw it!

What's more, the goal went straight in!

Carter's three-point shooting is amazing, averaging 1.7 shots per game and a 42.5 percent shooting rate, but Jason Terry is not bad, the shooting rate is not as high as Carter, with a three-point shooting rate of 41 percent, but he averages 2.5 three-pointers per game! And it's such a performance with such a wave of shooting!

Liu Mang's goal now is very clear, Jason Terry is here, so he uses Jason Terry to brush assists, and after passing to Jason Terry, he goes to grab rebounds and let Jason Terry throw hard.

Maddie comes up the same, and can score, rebound, and assist together!
