At 15-11, the Knicks already have a four-point lead over the Hawks.

And they still have the ball!

This boosted the morale of the Knicks players, and it was a good opportunity to stretch the margin to more than 5 points in one fell swoop!

The location of the physical foul is at the halfway point, and the Knicks make free throws in the middle of the court.

Mark Jackson advanced to the three-point line after receiving the serve, Liu Mang defended it, Mark Jackson tried to change direction and break through, who knew that Liu Mang directly pasted the whole person, pressing Mark Jackson's dribble.

It's very different from Dean Grove's regular defense before!

However, Mark Jackson's passing sense and ability are too good, Liu Mang is pasted to defend here, on the one hand, it is to interfere with the opponent's dribbling, and on the other hand, he wants to use the height of the pressure to block the angle of the opponent's line of sight.

However, Mark Jackson threw off DeMar Johnson and rushed to the basket with a madman who received the ball and scored two points on a layup.

At 17-11, the Knicks led the Hawks by six points, and the Hawks could only call a timeout again.

It's just been more than a minute since the substitution was made!

Originally, Coach Kruger thought that Chris Crawford might not be able to keep up with Spreville when he went up, thinking that Demar Johnson was very physical, but he didn't expect this guy to go up for a walk!

After playing for a minute, he was replaced, and Liu Mang saw this teammate with such good physical fitness playing like this, and it is estimated that his career is basically cold.

The Eagles were still leading by 6 points at the beginning, and now they are overtaken by 6 points, and the madman suddenly erupts unexpectedly, and there really is no one who can prevent it!

When Raheem defends him, he makes a strong attack, jumpers when he encounters short Jason Terry, and cuts in the air when he encounters Demar Johnson, and his ball skills are excellent and his ball intelligence is also excellent.

The Eagles really can't deal with this old madman now!

Coach Krueger can only emphasize the speed, not giving the veteran-dominated Knicks time to fall into the position and have time to settle down and cut in the air as before.

Before the end of the timeout, Liu Mang called Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Newbell, and Muhammad, who were about to play together, and discussed a few words, and the teammates were stunned for a moment, and firmly said that they would do so!

The Hawks attacked, Liu Mang quickly advanced to the front court and handed it to Jason Terry, who forced Alan Houston and hit a mid-range pull-up jump shot to recover two points.

The ball was back in the hands of the Knicks, and Mark Jackson pushed in to find the Hawks had switched defenses!

Crick Crawford fiercely rushed towards Mark Jackson, Chris Crawford directly hit Mark Jackson's chest, and he almost waved his arms to hit someone!

Although Mark Jackson is considered strong, he is much stronger than Liu Mang, otherwise he would not have been able to be pressed by Liu Mang like Liu Mang in the last round, and he could still find the madman's air cut and send a wonderful pass.

But compared to Chris Crawford, a two-meter-plus physical male swing man, the strength of the two is not half a point, Mark Jackson quickly withdrew, and Sprewell ran out of the three-point line to respond.

The Knicks' point of possession became Sprewell.

With this delay, the Knicks' offensive time is only 9 seconds left!

Sprewell immediately launched an attack, looking at the thin rookie point guard in front of him, Sprewell disdained a change of direction, regardless of whether there was a gap or not, anyway, even if he didn't get rid of the other party, he was confident that he could directly rely on his body to run into the basket and shoot, maybe he could also cause the opponent to foul!

How could Liu Mang not know the idea of the jumping version of Nezha in front of him, but he was not afraid, and went up towards Spreville, and he really couldn't stop it!

But Liu Mang worked hard to stabilize his core strength, and retreated with Sprewell, who was killing inside, and kept in front of Sprewell, without giving the opponent a chance to attack the basket directly!

Suddenly to the edge of the three-second zone, Sprewell didn't care about anything else, forced to get on!

Liu Mang judged the opponent's trick when Sprewell bent his knees, but even if Sprewell was 32 years old, his explosiveness was not something he could deal with, so Liu Mang put his hand on Sprewell's waist at the right time when Sprewell was about to break out and jump, and tried hard to touch it with his thumb and forefinger, but was blocked by a cloud of lipid......

"Hiss......"

Sprewell subconsciously raised his elbow to block the person who twisted his waist, and the meat on his waist was too sensitive and pinched! I can't control it at all!

This direct push action, like the annoyance and anger after not being able to get rid of the defense, is different from the fierce confrontation, it is an absolute foul, the referee whistle blows, and the Knicks attack foul!

Heavenly!

After seven or eight consecutive rounds, the Hawks finally stopped the Knicks' offense again!

"NO!NO!NO!REFEREE, THAT GUY HIT ME IN THE STOMACH! He ...... "Sprewell is in a hurry and can't speak, and when his head is in a hurry, he doesn't know how to describe the specific process, otherwise he won't be accused by the head coach of playing the wrong game during training, and he won't refute it when he is angry.

The referee ignored the madman's words, firstly, the label of Sprewell's madman is too impressive, he is a person who will lose his mind when he encounters something that goes wrong, and sometimes the referee's blowing penalty has a lot of subjective factors; Second, Liu Mang's movements are very concealed and fast.

This is the method that Liu Mang practiced to pinch himself when he saw the department manager making jokes and wanted to laugh but was afraid of being put in small shoes when he was at work before, and others couldn't see it.

Stretch each finger straight, put your palm down, press the palm of your hand on your stomach and pinch yourself with the second joint of your index finger and the joint of your thumb, it looks like you're touching your belly, but it hurts more than twisting it with your fingertips!

Sprewell is so aggrieved, he didn't say anything about being blown foul when he did something bad, he obviously didn't do anything!

The Eagles played in the backcourt, Liu Mang pushed over, and what he saw was Spreville who seemed to have murderous eyes.

What is this going to do?

Liu Mang gave the ball to Jason Terry, didn't play a counterattack, and now it's Jason Terry's singles time, and Jason Terry averaged 26 points per game after the All-Star weekend Jason Terry has been playing very well in singles at other times except for the one against the Heat.

Jason Terry's side is single, Alan Houston really can't defend it! Mark Jackson took a look at Chris Crawford, who was defending himself, and decisively went over to the bag.

That's when the Eagles were embarrassed!

The Knicks' Harrington and Kurt Thomas are two inside lines tied to the basket, and they are both unclean hands, the basket confrontation is huge, Newbell and Muhammad do not have much good shooting ability, can only be stuck under the basket, Jason Terry passes the ball to the vacated Chris Crawford, Chris Crawford Don't look like a big white man, but he is a proper physical fitness man, there is no season with more than 20 three-point shots, and even the free throw shooting rate is 70%, Almost all of his mid-range shots are catch-the-pot balls when time is running out, and what he is good at is holding the ball and chiseling it under the basket like holding a dynamite bag, and he is a good player for counterattacking and dunking.

Mark Jackson is very experienced, seeing Chris Crawford receiving the ball inside and rushing in, mid-to-long range shooting and dazed look, decisively and Alan Houston around the front to wrap the ballless Jason Terry.

Chris Crawford sees that the return pass to Jason Terry can't be returned, so let's give it to the rookie boss!

When playing a game, the people who cooperate with them are basically looking at the ball, and they may ignore the off-ball side, such as now.

Chris Crawford turned his head and looked, good guys! Going to fight?

On Liu Mang's side and the madman's side, the physical confrontation between the two is like wrestling!

Sprewell relied on his height to be a little taller, his left hand bypassed Liu Mang's right shoulder, hugged Liu Mang and did not give Liu Mang a chance to catch the ball, Liu Mang's side was not to be outdone, one elbow pushed the other party, Liu Mang's elbow explosiveness was getting stronger and stronger, Sprewell was of course not happy, and immediately stuck back and pulled Liu Mang with a bigger action.

Liu Mang saw Chris Crawford receiving the ball, and seeing that the 24-second offensive time was about to expire, Liu Mang pulled Sprewell away in a hurry, and Sprewell stopped doing it and pushed Liu Mang back.

At this moment, Liu Mang was completely angry, and just 24 seconds of offensive time was up, and the Eagles attacked in violation of the rules......

"You like to push people so much? Go to work in the subway station, and your strength can make the subway company hire several fewer employees! Maybe you'll lose your job in the NBA one day and still be able to support your family. Liu Mang was not at all frightened by the fierce Sprewell, and went up to start a personal attack.

It's just that no one else understands what Liu Mang is talking about now, thinking that Liu Mang is simply scolding Old Sprewell.

"Rookie, this is the NBA, you can't even stand this confrontation, you better go back to college and play, good baby." Spreville anti-spray.

Sprewell felt that this trash talk was useful, standard American self-confidence.

However, Liu Mang's answer was: "Thank you, you are the first person to say that I am a good baby." ”

Referee Steve Javey and assistant coach immediately came over to separate the two.

Either there's no confrontation or just a fight?

Steve Jarvey didn't expect that his idea of wanting to improve the confrontation between the two teams seemed to be a bit too big?

Liu Mang is ready to eat a technical foul, probably a technical foul on both sides?

Then Liu Mang has a little idea, if he wants to get rid of Spreville by himself, the chances of winning on his side are much higher, right?

However, Liu Mang underestimated the referee of today's game.

Jarvey who is doing things.

This is Steve Jarvey's nickname in the refereeing world, and the games he blows are always full of gunpowder, and it is worth mentioning that in the late 80s, he played many games for the Pistons, and the blowing penalties were extremely lenient!

The referee didn't give a technical foul, and he didn't even give a foul, because Liu Mang had already carried a foul, and the referee had to consider the spectacle of the game, so he didn't blow Liu Mang's foul, and the same Sprewell also carried a foul, so the two pushed and shoved for a long time, and there was no.

The referee signals the game to continue! It's time for the Knicks offense again.

Mark Jackson pushed over, Sprewell received a pass from Mark Jackson, Liu Mang's side was too difficult, although Sprewell was crazy, although he was irritable, he was not stupid! This rookie has too many tricks, no wonder it makes the team boss who is hard to get angry so angry.

In fact, the more conflicting it is, the more players on both sides want to restrain their emotions, but humans are not machines, press a button and say not to be angry and not to be impulsive.

But a little restraint is still okay, Sprewell didn't continue to play hard, and chose to block and dismantle!

Kurt Thomas, who was still a starter until 2013, because there were so many small defensive moves like a tentacle monster called Tentacle Cotter, a player who entered the NBA in '95, came up to cover for Sprewell.

borrowed Kurt Thomas's block and dismantle into the inside line, Liu Mang bypassed Kurt Thomas to chase Sprewell, Neubert hesitated to go over to wrap Sprewell, because Kurt Thomas is one of the iron-blooded mid-range players, the defense is very aggressive, the offense is basically a direct dunk and layup of the second rebound, and the receiving style of play is only a mid-range shot, which is very good to open up the space, if you go to defend Sprewell at this time, Kurt Thomas jumper scores, the pressure on the Hawks' side will become greater, Newbell hesitated for a moment to help the defense, and Sprewell hit a mid-range pull-up jump shot from the right side of the free throw line before Liu Mang returned to the defensive position.

19 to 13!

So far in the first quarter, Sprewell has scored 14 points, and the score between the two sides has become 19-13, and Sprewell alone has scored one more point than the entire Hawks!

Sprewell today seems to dream back to his sophomore years eight years ago, before the choke incident, he was once seen as Jordan's successor after his first retirement, and he was selected for the first team and second defense in the second year.

But the smell of gunpowder on the field is getting stronger and stronger! The referee's "inaction" style blowing penalty, has it strengthened the confrontation and defense of the two teams, it's really hard to say, the Hawks don't have Ratliff, the defensive system is disabled, the Knicks, their head coach changed from Jeff Van Gundy to the former Rockets head coach, former Pistons head coach Don Cheney Coach can't see how good the defense is, the head coach dared to take Olajuwon to play offensive basketball, but the Rockets didn't make the playoffs, and they didn't know how to get a job all the time.

Don Cheney is not only a coach, but also a former NBA player, and the most important thing in his life to show off is probably not that he won the best coach, because he won the best coach in the second year and was fired in the third year before making the playoffs.

His biggest boast is probably winning the championship with Russell in the '60s, and rookie Bird picked up the ball for him in the '79-80 season in his last season before retiring.

The game continued, and there was no fierce defensive confrontation as the referee envisioned, and the confrontation was there, but it was all a small action that was similar to a conflict with the smell of gunpowder!
