495.End losing streak(1/2)

After the timeout, the Eagles attacked and sent out a lineup of Jason Terry, Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Ratliff.

The Kings made no substitutions and continued to field their strongest lineup.

The Eagles played the ball in the frontcourt, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Christie defended him.

Seeing Boozer, a very popular rookie this year who can play in the mid-range, can play in the low post, and is efficient in the pick-and-roll, Christie was a little nervous. If one of Boozer and Liu Mang missed the mid-range shot, it would be difficult to defend against him in the pick-and-roll.

Same as Utah Shuangsha.

In the past two months, Liu Mang and Boozer have been working together, and due to the increase in pick-and-roll play, they have gradually gained the nickname "Atlanta's little duo".

However, the Kings' defensive cohesion is very strong. Christie is very focused on pick-and-roll and switch defenses. Weber follows Boozer. The two of them are ready. When Liu Mang and Boozer pick-and-roll, the others are ready to cover and switch defenses freely.

However, just when the Kings saw the lineup sent by the Hawks and were ready to guard against Liu Mang and Boozer, the "little double evil" combination, playing pick-and-roll, Jason Terry ran to the top of the arc and Liu Mang

Mang passed the ball out.

The Kings are in trouble!

Why is it different from what you imagined?

After Liu Mang gave the ball to Jason Terry, he led Christie inside and took a step to the left sideline of the three-second zone. Jason Terry came to the left and held the ball at a 45-degree angle, pulling Bibby away.

Prince came to the left corner and pulled Peja away. Boozer came to the middle distance of the right baseline and took Weber away. Ratliff faced the basket directly on the edge of the three-second zone on the other side. Such a seven-pointer.

He is a big man, even if he has no scoring ability, but he is very tough and is a threat when standing under the basket.

Liu Mang fell low, and the others opened up the most space!

What are the Eagles going to do?

The Kings players and all the fans at the scene had their eyes widened. They saw Liu Mang relying on Christie to ask for the ball after his teammates were in position. Could it be...

Just as everyone's eyes widened, Jason Terry passed the ball to Liu Mang who was asking for the ball in the low post!

What the hell?

Liu Mang wants to play low singles?

It would be okay if it was regular time. It would be okay if Liu Mang tried out his abilities that he had not shown before. After practicing his skills, wouldn’t he have to use games to test the effect? ​​Liu Mang’s sniper flick, step-back jump shot, and step-up layup

, underhand layups...etc., these are all techniques that Liu Mang has gradually developed over the past year or so. It is also the technique that Liu Mang has gone from "having no potential" to a new star with full potential step by step.

Liu Mang's strength has improved significantly this year, his weight, muscles have increased, and his jumping has also improved a lot. So if he wants to develop a post-up play, fans will not be surprised, but the first time he used it was when he was trailing by four with two minutes left.

At the critical moment of the points, the fans thought Liu Mang was crazy!

However, fans may not have many speakers, because Liu Mang rarely appears in low singles. Only once, at the end of last season when the Hawks played the Spurs, Liu Mang forced himself to eat the "soft man" Stephen Jackson.

Fans were not impressed by this incident, but Christie, who had carefully studied Liu Mang, was deeply impressed! Liu Mang's explosive power has always been very strange. When he had no bounce back then, he would always dunk his opponents. Now he is still the dunk king. Christie's performance against Liu Mang

Qiang Chi was very afraid and lowered his focus, hoping to withstand Liu Mang's Qian Chi.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he turned his body sideways and leaned his left shoulder against Christie. He felt the power behind him and saw Christie lowering his center of gravity. Liu Mang felt that something was going on!

Liu Mang summoned all the strength of his muscles, and the veins on his neck popped out. He left his left shoulder away from Christie's body, bent his left foot, half squatted, raised his right foot and pushed it to the ground, and pushed the ball to the ground with his right hand.

shoot……

Liu Mang was in full swing, like an O'Neal bulldozer, and Christie lowered his center of gravity as much as possible, preparing himself for Liu Mang's brutal impact on Stephen Jackson.

but!

After Liu Mang batted the ball, the ball bounced off Liu Mang's raised right foot. Before Liu Mang pushed his right foot to the ground, he swung to the right, using his left foot as the axis, and turned right!

Christie suddenly woke up, the other party was not trying to force her to eat! She was just playing dirty tricks!

but!

Christie lowered his center of gravity and bulged up his muscles, standing completely dead! When Christie stood up and attacked Liu Mang, Liu Mang's speed suddenly increased, and he took a long stride and rushed into the three-second zone. Divac heard the shouts of the fans at the scene.

Exclaimed, while he was fighting for his life to get stuck with Ratliff, he suddenly saw Ratliff exiting his only scoring area, which was the three-second zone. Divac was very surprised. When he turned around, he saw a big

No. 1 is here to win...

Liu Mang turned around and passed Christie, strode into the three-second zone, jumped high, grabbed the ball with one hand, swung it in the air and smashed the ball into the basket!

Divac became the background!

Liu Mang's low post turned pass!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed. Divac never expected that Christie would be passed by Liu Mang in the low post, and he didn't even have a chance to defend him!

Christie's face felt hot, and she was completely unprepared at this critical moment! Especially when she saw Divac's confused and complaining eyes, Christie felt that this game experience was terrible!

This guy is a monster! Genius is not enough!

It's not that Christie doesn't know how to prevent turning, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to turn around so quickly from a low position!

This thing of back shooting cannot be used in a day or two. It requires a lot of time to train and operate in order to get better and better.

Although Christie paid more attention to Liu Mang's back hitting than fans and many players, he only paid attention to Liu Mang's sudden violent impact. He thought Liu Mang was going to hit a sudden and violent attack, but he didn't

I thought Liu Mang was in the technical stream!

Those quick turns, smooth connecting movements, and violent dunks were as skillful as if they had been done countless times. How could it be the first time they were used in a game?

Surprisingly easy!

Liu Mang did not celebrate after scoring the goal and immediately turned back to defend.

He knows that this ball is too lucky!

Liu Mang never expected that Christie would use such a posture to defend himself. It was like a young girl trying to resist being violated. She tightened her muscles, and Liu Mang turned around and defeated Christie.

The key point for Liu Mang to do is to get rid of the opponent's defense. As long as he gets rid of it, everything will be easy.

The subsequent dash after turning around, which is so fast that Christie can't keep up with it, can be triggered!

"Level 5 of low post skills: After successfully turning around and passing the opponent in a low post, the speed is 5, the bounce is 5, the mid-range shot is 5, and the chance of affecting the referee's call when shooting under the basket is increased by 25%; if the low post is turned around,

When stepping back to get rid of the opponent's defense in singles, the mid-range shooting ability is 5 and the bounce is 5."

In the training of the past few days, Liu Mang practiced some turnaround jump shots.

But this thing is really difficult to practice. The 180-degree turn when turning over often makes Liu Mang dizzy, so he has to practice it slowly. When his head feels a little dizzy, Liu Mang will change sides.

Practice turning on the left side, he wanted to try if turning in the opposite direction could offset the dizzy feeling caused by just turning...

However, Liu Mang did not notice whether it had the effect of counteracting the feeling of dizziness. However, relying on the opponent's turn was much easier than bumping into the opponent's turn-over jumper.

In addition, Liu Mang failed to score any of his mid-range shots in the first two minutes. Liu Mang felt that his mid-range mid-range jump shot was a bit unreliable. To be on the safe side, he upgraded to level 5 with low post skills instead of turning over jump shots!

Liu Mang tried to develop a little bit of post-up play, but he didn't expect it to work well! The opponent didn't know why he made an extremely wrong choice. Liu Mang had a perfect opportunity whether he wanted to turn around or turn over and shoot a jump shot.

Liu Mang chose to cut into the basket and completed a dunk.

Christie was also desperate! He never thought that Liu Mang would not only forcefully eat in the low position.

Because Liu Mang had never used this move before! So Christie didn't think Liu Mang knew any other back-up moves.

Because the core of a team who can post-up, whether inside or outside, is very popular in any era. Post-up represents scoring lethality, can attract double-teams, and has a good vision to distribute the ball.

As the core organization of the Eagles, Liu Mang has never used a post-up shot, so Christie naturally won't guard against moves that his opponent "doesn't know".

Christie had an inexplicable feeling - this kid was targeting the Kings! This kind of killing move was actually reserved for dealing with them!

The Eagles players were also extremely shocked. They didn't expect that this seemingly unreliable style of play would actually be effective!

Rahim was shocked when he saw Liu Mang's explosive sprint speed after turning around, which was faster than his most famous short-distance acceleration. He was not at all dissatisfied with Liu Mang for replacing him.

Damn, this little brother is a monster!

Rahim recalled that when Liu Mang was training two days ago, he asked him for advice on turning skills. He taught him for a while, but this little brother used it at the critical moment of such an important and critical game! And that explosive speed

In terms of jumping and jumping, Rahim doesn't feel that he is worse than himself! Even if the opponent's inside defense is in place, it is very likely to cause a foul!

Rahim was excited and smiled bitterly: Who is the boss and who is assisting whom! The younger brother is almost stronger than the boss!

The Kings were frightened by Liu Mang's low-post ability. Feeling a sense of crisis, Bibby rushed into the frontcourt and wanted to do it himself.

Liu Mang stuck closely to Bibby. Liu Mang, who had just dunked, boosted the overall morale of the Hawks team. The fancy dunk was level 5. After completing the fancy dunk in the game, the team's morale reached the level reached in this game.

At the highest level, if the morale is already high, the time of the high morale state will be extended by one round.

Liu Mang himself is also a member of the Eagles. His perfect turnaround and dunk inspired him, and his enthusiasm was at its highest in this game.

Bibby was very uncomfortable due to Liu Mang's pressure and close contact. Liu Mang's strong physical confrontation caused the referee to not call a foul. At critical moments, as long as it was not an obvious foul, the referee rarely blew the whistle to affect the game. This was mainly because of the Western Conference last season.

In Game 6 of the finals, the Kings were called for a foul after being too close. In Kings games this year, such calls were rarely called.

The Kings were originally very happy to encounter such whistles this year. Their defense was not very clean, and they made many small moves to challenge their opponents. They were usually very energetic when dealing with opponents, but now, Bibby hates that the defensive whistles on their games have become looser.

Because he became a victim!

Bibby reluctantly passed the ball to Christie.

After Christie received the ball, his mind was filled with the terrible game experience just now, and he wanted to repay Liu Mang.

Christie has no offensive ability with the ball. It is difficult to beat Jason Terry with the ball. Therefore, Christie directly shoots a three-pointer after receiving the ball!

Jason Terry tried his best to interfere, but he really succeeded. Christie made a three-pointer!

Seeing someone taking action, the Kings retreated directly. This was their core strategy to prevent the Hawks from counterattacking. Liu Mang grabbed the fifth rebound of the game and finished with 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Advance to the frontcourt again, continue to follow the same pattern, pass the ball to Jason Terry, he falls to the low position on the left side of the basket, and the others have space. Jason Terry hits the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang receives the ball.

Then he leaned towards Christie.

Christie had a strong sense of defense and stretched out half of his body to block the bottom line where Liu Mang had just turned.

Christie doesn't know if Liu Mang can do other low-post moves, but he is a good defensive player, and his colleague is a defensive player with high defensive literacy. He can just defend the opponent with the skills he has shown. He has not shown it.

Don't think too much about it, because you can't predict this guy at all.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To be honest, for a coach, he prefers pragmatic defensive players like Christie to the kind of magical defense players who often make amazing defenses.

Players, because they often have magical steals and unexpected defenses, are often exploited by the opponent more frequently.

However, defensive players like Christie are often unable to attract the attention of fans.

Liu Mang looked at Christie's defensive action, turned left decisively, and walked from the top line. Christie stepped forward to delay Liu Mang's movement after turning around. The explosive rush and bounce just now were too amazing, leaving no room for Liu Mang to start.
