From today on is the king

Chapter 625 624. Just So Shameless

During the jump ball, Liu Mang was neither prepared for the fast break of the catch nor the intention of stealing the fast break, because this season is no longer the time when Ratliff lost the jump ball every day last season. The bounce of Rasheed Wallace and Bosh seems to be comparable.

After the Pistons won the jump ball, Billups jumped up and held the ball in his arms. Liu Mang looked at Billups's movement and sneered, as if someone was going to grab you, and then started a long-distance run with Hamilton.

Liu Mang followed Hamilton and kept running. He didn't know what Hamilton was thinking. Billups hadn't even passed halftime, and the new masked man started running around inside the three-point line. Liu Mang had to keep up with him. He wanted to keep the team's defensive position and couldn't be disturbed by this guy.

Liu Mang knew that this was the role of Hamilton, not only to score, but also to help the Pistons with poor offensive tactics disrupt the opponent's defense and help teammates with poor offense to open up the situation. Although Stephen Jackson and Bosh have the ability to hold the ball and attack, in the Pistons system, they do not have the ball.

Seeing that Hamilton was obviously running aimlessly, because the Pistons hadn't started tactical moves yet, but Liu Mang had to run with Hamilton.

"Ding... Yizhong triggers at level 5, the Pistons offset the home pressure of the Devils, and it comes from Chauncey Billups."

While running with Hamilton, Liu Mang was also paying attention to Billups who was advancing. To defend against Hamilton, he cannot receive the ball in a comfortable position, so blocking Hamilton's receiving route is also one aspect. Although Billups' organizational ability is not top-notch, it can only be said to be excellent, but his turnovers are well controlled. Generally speaking, his passing is accurate and accurate.

When Billups settled down and pushed forward, Liu Mang heard the system prompt. Looking at Billups, who was more stable and mature than last year and had entered his peak stage, Liu Mang felt that this guy had become a lot more confident when he came under Larry Brown's hands!You must know that in the last two series with the Pistons last year, Billups had already collapsed.

But now, Billups has not been affected by the sweep of the playoffs!
But Liu Mang heard the difference in the system prompt!
The Pistons didn't become calm and calm because of Billups' ability to control the court, but it just offset the morale suppression of their own side's Roar of Heaven!

That is, the home field advantage on his side offset Billups' aura!

It's a good feeling!

Seeing Billups approaching, the Pistons began to attack and run, mainly the running positions of Hamilton and Bosh. Stephen Jackson was a two-wing shooter except when he was needed for singles, that is, between two 45-degree angles and 60-degree angles. His three-point shooting percentage was as high as 40.00%. Stephen Jackson, who averaged 5 points per game, has made the Pistons' strength leap forward from this point alone, and restrained Raheem, the Eagles' first perimeter defense gate.

Although Bosh is still a rookie, he averages 16+8 per game and is the second-leading scorer of the Pistons. Rasheed Wallace does not want to lose face on a rookie. This is the Christmas game, a game that basketball fans all over the world pay attention to. He defends Bosh very tightly.

Liu Mang devoted himself to the great cause of running around with Hamilton. The Pistons started a simple and clear tactical run, that is, everyone went up to pick and roll without the ball when Hamilton ran next to him.

After Billups got beyond the three-point line, Prince defended him. Seeing this tall and thin man approaching, Billups changed direction to get a little breakthrough space, and wanted to forcefully squeeze Prince by force, just like last year's playoffs.

but!This year, Liu Mang dared to hand over the defensive task of defending the opponent's first scoring point except for the speed type to Prince, because Prince's defense reached the peak of his career this year!

Prince accurately judged Billups' breakthrough direction after changing direction, and blocked it. Billups tried to squeeze away with his strength, but he couldn't!

Billups forced Prince to break through. The three-point line was scored, but he was suppressed by Prince and could only walk from the bottom line. Although he entered the three-point line, Billups almost rushed to the bottom line and only reached the distance of the free throw line!
Billups is careless!He didn't expect that this guy who played poorly in the playoffs last year would actually improve his defense so much after only half a year!

But Billups didn't panic, kept his calm as the main player, turned around and leaned against Prince, protected the ball, and waited for his teammates to move.

At this time Hamilton cut to the basket, and Liu Mang followed Hamilton to the basket when he was blocked by Ben Wallace, but Liu Mang was ready when Hamilton cut to the basket, turned his elbow against Ben Wallace and wiped it, and continued to chase Hamilton.

Hamilton used Ben Wallace's pick-and-roll to run back from the center and ran to the free throw line.

Hamilton felt that he had thrown Liu Mang away, turned his head to look, and was about to stop to ask for the ball when he saw Liu Mang following up again.

There is no end!
Fortunately, at this time, Bosh just cut in from the left side of the basket and saw that Hamilton couldn't get rid of Liu Mang and took a step inside the free throw line to block Liu Mang.

As expected of Garnett's second place, his footsteps were broken during the pick-and-roll, and Bosh moved to block Liu Mang!
The Eagles switch defenses now!
Rasheed Wallace immediately gave up chasing Bosh and switched to Hamilton. Hamilton saw the switch and immediately started to speed up again and ran to the right of the Nets at a 45-degree angle. Just as Hamilton accepted the second off-the-ball pick-and-roll, which was Bosh’s pick-and-roll, Billups had already started to act. He took a step back to the right corner. Prince was pulled to the right corner. Get the perfect gap!

Billups sent the ball over immediately, Hamilton received the ball and turned around to shoot a mid-range jumper!

Long two-point hit.

This stability is simply unmatched!

Liu Mang watched Hamilton run continuously for so long, and his speed and rhythm kept running with rapid changes in speed, and he was able to maintain the stability of the CIC.

The CIC of 95 may be the first in the league, it is terrifyingly strong!
Fortunately, this guy can only hit mid-range shots!
Concentrate on attacking the mid-range shot, and Hamilton has perfected this point!
When Hamilton made a shot, the Pistons had already begun to return to defense. With Bosh this year, their power forward was upgraded from Clifford Robinson who averaged less than 8 rebounds per game to Bosh who averaged 3 rebounds per game. The small forward was upgraded from Michael Curry who averaged less than 42 rebounds per game to Stephen Jackson who averaged 16 rebounds per game.

But most of the guaranteed rebounds are upgraded defensive rebounds. Their offensive rebounds are still in the lower reaches of the league, averaging only 10.5 offensive rebounds per game.

The Eagles averaged 47 rebounds per game and ranked first in the league, averaging 16 offensive rebounds per game.

The addition of Bosh and Stephen Jackson also made Ben Wallace fall out of the ranks of rebounding contenders. His average rebounds per game dropped from 15.5 per game last season to 11.7 per game this season.

Seeing that the Pistons returned to the defense so decisively, Liu Mang suppressed the tempo and slowed down after receiving the serve, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and saw that Hamilton was defending at the top arc. Facing Hamilton who was not that good in defense, Liu Mang did not rush to attack. He looked at the Pistons' defense and felt that it was completely different from last year!
The current defense of the Pistons is very different from when Carlisle was the head coach. Coach Carlisle also pays attention to defense, but he is not good at it. He does not have a good defensive assistant. The defense can only make the best use of it. Let the best defensive players defend against the opponent's strongest. There are not many routines. Under Larry Brown, Hamilton's strong physical fitness is used for single defense.

Hamilton defended himself, and Liu Mang always felt tricky!As long as you are not blind, you know that Hamilton will never be able to guard against himself!Even if he has good physical fitness, he is not a player who can be consumed by physical fitness!
Although I know there is a trap, if I don't try to enter the trap, I don't know what the trap is.

Liu Mang made a gesture and opened the singles!

The Eagles pulled away and took away the defenders. Liu Mang dribbled the ball to the three-point line. As soon as he got close to the three-point line, Hamilton slammed into him fiercely!
Yes!

Just hit!
Hamilton directly used his thin body to rush towards Liu Mang oppressively!

Liu Mang was abruptly forced back by Hamilton, and the referee didn't blow his whistle!Liu Mang knew that this was the existence of a hand-check, and the action that caused Hamilton to hit his elbow to block the defense was theoretically not a foul.

This is the first time that Hamilton has really defended Liu Mang one-on-one. He used to do so occasionally. It was time for a dislocation in the tactics. He has never defended Liu Mang one-on-one. Seeing that Liu Mang was forced to retreat by his oppressive defense, he was very excited to continue to press up!
but!Liu Mang even took a step back. Seeing that Hamilton continued to put his left arm up and continue to press the defense, there was only one thought in his head, what was this guy thinking?

Liu Mang immediately grabbed the ball with his right hand and slammed it towards Hamilton's arm from bottom to top!
"Pengci Master level 5 was successfully triggered."

"Beep..."

The referee is still hesitating whether to give the whistle, but thinking that this is the home court of the Eagles, the whistle is blown immediately!Hamilton thug foul!
Hamilton, who was excited, seemed to be struck by lightning!Seeing Liu Mang pat his bumped hand, watching the ball rolling on the ground, and the referee making a thug gesture at him, and then making three free throws towards the technical table, he was in a bad mood!
This guy is going to compete for the scoring champion!Why are you still so mean and shameless!
Liu Mang doesn't care whether he is despicable or not, shameless or not, the hand-check is really beneficial to the Pistons' play style after Larry Brown, the defensive master-level head coach, but the shooting cylinder rule is too beneficial to Liu Mang!For him, using fouls to prevent the opponent's defense from sticking so tightly is part of his offensive threat!
