Liu Mang first rushed toward the inside. When the Spurs began to shrink, Liu Mang made wild shots from mid- to long-range. Liu Mang learned a little trick from an enthusiast who gave birth to a daughter. When the team has an advantage in rebounding

, shoot if it is difficult, shoot if there is no difficulty and create difficulty, shoot to death, it is best to attract double teams and give teammates a better opportunity to rebound the ball before shooting.

Liu Mang maintained a mid-range shooting percentage of over 40%, making crazy shots.

On the defensive end, the Hawks blocked the Spurs' offense on the perimeter, especially Ginobili and Parker. Liu Mang defended Parker, and Prince defended Ginobili. It was difficult for both of them to break through, and even dribbling was a mess.

The problem is that Liu Mang and Prince, whose fighting spirit exploded due to Liu Mang's return, had great physical contact, and the referee did not give a home whistle. As long as it was not an obvious foul, in this year when defense was at its peak, it did not sound.

post.

The Spurs' offense continued to be blocked in the second half of the second quarter. Duncan could occasionally get stuck in Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown's pass to get the ball, but in this kind of confrontation, Duncan had to continue.

Singles... O'Neal may not be able to play a few games now. Physical fitness is always an issue for centers.

The Hawks' offense was completely opened up by Liu Mang's shooting, forcing the situation to open up and messing up the Spurs' team defense.

Popovich looked at the situation on the court and stopped roaring. He was thinking about a question - what to do when Duncan's condition declines?

In a flash, Duncan has been using it for seven years. He had a serious injury before, and now Duncan's plantar fasciitis is also a problem, but it has not yet completely erupted.

Is this game going to be against the Eagles?

Seeing Liu Mang playing even more fiercely than Kobe in the previous two years, Bowen could still rely on Bowen's defensive threat to restrict Liu Mang, but even Bowen's defensive threat was not enough for Kobe, who had won three consecutive championships.

It’s too useful, not to mention Liu Mang, who now seems to be even better than Kobe Bryant, who won three consecutive championships, and has no dead ends with his left and right hands?

As for creating another defensive threat?

Come on, Popovich acquiesces to Bowen's foul play, but he is a famous head coach. He can't really ask a player to play foul. It's just that Bowen likes to do that, and he doesn't object to it when he expresses his opinion.

Well, if he really takes the initiative to create a group of black-footed machines, other teams in the league will probably force the Spurs to fire him, just like the future 76ers who will forcefully mess up the game regardless of the rules of the game.

The main reason is that the league has already made noise. Maybe after this season, there will be rules that are more conducive to team basketball. The era of invincible stars is about to pass, so this year's hand-check has been used to the limit. Those with strong defense

The team's last glorious moment must be grasped.

Popovich's first teacher was Nelson, so his thinking was very advanced. He had already begun to consider developing from Duncan's superstar basketball to team basketball. Promoting Parker, Ginobili and Turkoglu was his first step.

.

Now Bowen doesn’t know the extent of his injury. An ankle dislocation is an extremely terrifying injury for a player. Defensive players need to make big changes in direction with their opponents on the defensive end. Bowen is already 32 years old and will soon be 33.

It's too difficult to fully recover from this kind of injury. Popovich has already begun to think about the possibility of a cliff-like decline for many superstars when Duncan reaches 30 years old in two or three years.

As for today's game...what else can I do? Just try my best.

…

Popovich's current style of play is to use Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, and Turkoglu as assistants on the offensive end, and Bowen to open up and shoot, and Duncan and Bowen on the defensive end.

Team defense is supplemented.

Now that Bowen, the most critical part of the perimeter, can no longer play, the Spurs have a tendency to collapse on both offense and defense.

The original Spurs, after Bowen's serious decline in the 2007-2008 season, the Spurs collapsed for two or three years and entered a period of transformation, which proved Bowen's value well, although this guy's behavior on the court was a bit disgusting.

But a player like him is really important to a team.

After Bowen was taken down by him, Liu Mang was completely in high spirits. After scoring 13 points in the first quarter, he came back and scored 11 points in the second half of the second quarter. In the third quarter, he even scored 22 points in a single quarter.

Scored 46 points after three quarters!

The Spurs, who were the defending champions after all, did not choose to admit defeat, but persisted. Duncan responded with 18 points in the third quarter, helping the Spurs maintain the point difference within 15 points.

After three quarters, the Eagles led the Spurs by 13 points 88-75!

This gave Liu Mang the rare ability to not lose to Duncan to the limit in this game. In the last quarter, when he was double-teamed by Ginobili and Parker, Jason had been shouting at Jason for a long time.

-Terry took the shot with grief and anger in his eyes, scoring 19 points in the final quarter! The Eagles only scored 23 points in the final quarter.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan couldn't move in the fourth quarter, and the Spurs only scored 20 points in the final quarter.

In the end, Liu Mang scored 65 points, leading the Eagles to a 111-95 away victory over the Spurs!
