From today on is the king

Chapter 626. Chapter 625

Hamilton went to argue with the referee, but the referee couldn't help it. The rules are like this, they are so tight, and they violated the shooting cylinder when the opponent shot.

They are all using the rules. Hamilton wanted to use the rules to oppress Liu Mang, but Liu Mang took advantage of the rules and made a foul.

In fact, it’s not that no one else has discovered that Liu Mang used the rules. It’s just that Liu Mang is used to playing like this. When other players are attacking, the first thing they think about is getting space to shoot. They don’t want to think about fouls. How many fouls can they make in one game?On the contrary, they may disrupt their shooting rhythm because they think about fouling, because that is not their habit.

Moreover, drawing fouls also requires skill. Because of the appearance of Liu Mang, drawing fouls has actually increased the difficulty. Many people have begun to guard against outside fouls. Unknowingly, Liu Mang dug a hole for the future JDZ king Mr. Xiaodengdeng whom he "respects"...

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, had a good start, and made all three free throws steadily.

When Liu Mang made a free throw, Coach Kruger replaced Ratliff with Kwame Brown. The Pistons did not expect the substitution so early.

A team like the Detroit Pistons, which has a bad inside offense, doesn't really need an inside Optimus Prime like Ratliff. It is a complete waste to use him and Ben Wallace, a muscular man, to squeeze inside. Ratliff is used to deal with Kenyon Martin, O'Neal, Duncan and others.

In transition, the Pistons attack.

Seeing Kwame Brown coming up, Liu Mang knew that the prepared defense against Hamilton was about to start!The plan of the Eagles before the game was that if Liu Mang could defend against Hamilton, he would use a regular single defense, and if he couldn't, he would follow the plan!

After seeing Hamilton coming, Liu Mang continued to follow Hamilton.

Billups pushed forward and continued to choose a breakthrough, and the Pistons began to play Hamilton without the ball. Liu Mang followed Hamilton to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the basket. Sure enough, he was blocked by Stephen Jackson again. Liu Mang did not continue to chase Hamilton, but switched defenses with Raheem immediately!

Raheem stuck to Hamilton immediately without giving Hamilton any space. Hamilton didn't expect the Eagles to switch defenses directly!But he continued to run, went inside and Ben Wallace blocked Raheem for Hamilton.

At this time, the Eagles switched defenses again!Kwame Brown immediately switched defenses with Raheem and chased after Hamilton!

Raheem and Ben Wallace were shoving inside. Although Raheem couldn't push Ben Wallace, Billups who rushed to the right did not dare to pass to Ben Wallace, because Raheem seemed to be taller than Ben Wallace!

Ben Wallace's offense is too bad. With his physical fitness, if he has a little offensive skill and is mainly an inside card player, even if he is a little short, he can break free from space and dunk.

The Eagles changed defense for the second time and did not give Hamilton any space. Kwame Brown's physical fitness is really good!And the defensive awareness is too good. When switching to the outside line, I didn't think about sticking so tight, but just kept it at a distance that could interfere with Hamilton, maintaining a defensive threat.

Hamilton had a hard time running, feeling that someone was covering his head all the time, so he could only seek a pick-and-roll again, and a pick-and-roll with Bosh.

But after learning a lesson just now, Rasheed Wallace, who discussed with Kwame Brown how to defend the small defense, switched to him and used the same defensive strategy as Kwame Brown!

And it’s not just a pick-and-roll switch. When Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown couldn’t keep up, Liu Mang immediately let go of his defenders to double-team Hamilton, and Billups was on the right side because Hamilton couldn’t get out of space for a long time. Billups was forced to the bottom corner by Prince!Stephen Jackson, who is floating outside the left three-point line, is in a position where Billups dare not pass the ball!
Besides, the Pistons have no other positional team to attack except for Hamilton's running position and Bosh's running position. They are the same as the 01ers in 02 and 76. Larry Brown only has one offensive tactic.

Billups is not a particularly good offensive player, but he controls the rhythm very well. Under Larry Brown, he can play the biggest role, which is to drag the rhythm to death together, but this time Hamilton has been running for so long and has not been able to get a shot. Billups' rhythm has also been disrupted!
With 5 seconds left, Hamilton had no chance at all, and Billups had to do it by himself. Then he turned around and wanted to make a horizontal three-pointer.

but!

As soon as Billups turned around, the ball was cut off by Prince as soon as he got the ball towards the basket!

Prince steals Billups!
After securing the ball, Prince immediately looked for Liu Mang to pass the ball, but the Pistons had a good defensive attitude. When Billups was intercepted, the first reaction was to interfere with Prince's pass.

Liu Mang clapped his hands to signal don't worry, just play steadily.

The Pistons retreated quickly, Liu Mang received the ball from Prince, pushed it steadily, and continued to play singles.

When Liu Mang came outside the three-point line, he saw that it was Hamilton defending him. With the lesson from last time, Hamilton did not dare to go up rashly. Instead, he stayed inside the three-point line and honestly prepared to rely on his own physical strength and energy to kill the opponent. Just follow Liu Mang to death. He no longer expects to put too much pressure on Liu Mang and force Liu Mang to make mistakes. He is still very self-aware.

Liu Reck came outside the three-point line and saw that Hamilton was not too close and not too far away. As soon as Liu Reck was outside the three-point line, he rushed to the left!

Liu Mang knows that his attack on the left side is still the same as the same and has no major effect, but others are different!Others’ impression of him is that of a super scorer with 65 points. Liu Mang just took two strong steps to the left, and Hamilton immediately pressed up to the left without being crushed to death. He used the kind of action that wanted to press Liu Mang to go off the line, similar to Prince defending Billups. Ben Wallace is also ready to block Liu Mang's pass to Kwame Brown on the inside!
Pistons isolation defense strategy!

Changing to a familiar defensive name is Jordan's law!The Pistons put the strategy of blocking the opponent's offensive player with the ball in Jordan's rules into this era when they can start defending and double-team in advance!

but!

When Liu Mang took two strong steps, he suddenly withdrew from the three-point line, facing Hamilton who rushed back and made a three-pointer!

Hamilton didn't have the opportunity to get an open shot. Hamilton's physical strength is good, and he threw back and interfered with Liu Reck's shot. Liu Reck didn't make a three-pointer!
but!

Because the Pistons wanted to isolate Liu Mang, Ben Wallace went to the edge of the three-second zone and went around Kwame Brown to block Liu Mang's pass. Stephen Jackson also let go of Raheem's defense. Kwame Brown turned around and blocked Ben Wallace.

The most critical point for the success of Jordan’s rule is that Jordan did not have three points. The Pistons’ original five tigers can use the essence of this tactic to designate a defensive team with super scorers in this era. They can kill the Lakers in the finals. It is because of the conflict between Kobe and his teammates and Kobe’s desire to play good numbers and keep shooting for FMVP that he is so successful.

But the Eagles are different. The Eagles’ side Liu Mang’s three-pointer is the first offensive method. The Pistons failed half of the way from the beginning with this strategy. The Eagles’ team has a good atmosphere and the same goal. Liu Mang just shoots other people to grab rebounds.
From the very beginning, the tactical strategy of the Pistons was a failure!

5 to 2!The Eagles quickly took the lead.

At the beginning, the Eagles grabbed the Pistons' goal, and then the Pistons attacked. Originally full of confidence, he thought that he was the league's number one mid-range shooter, but Hamilton, who wanted to challenge Liu Wei, fell into an unprecedented desperate situation and had no chance to make a move!Not at all!
The Eagles would rather short Bosh and Stephen Jackson than give Hamilton a chance. Billups of the Pistons is in control of the rhythm, but Hamilton is the core of the offense. He can't open this point, and the Pistons' poor offense is directly paralyzed!
Although Billups began to look for opportunities to shoot for Bosh and Stephen Jackson, and both of them shot well, the stability of these two mid-range shots was much worse than that of Hamilton, and it was difficult to get into the basket. The Eagles only had two targets. It's like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth!
Conversely, when the Eagles were attacking, Liu Mang made a false step-back and began to shoot wildly. The Pistons didn’t dare not guard against Liu Mang’s false move. After Liu Mang rushed inside and caused a foul by Ben Wallace, they could only watch Liu Mang continue to attract back-step shots after the defense.

The Eagles have the upper hand!
By the end of the first quarter, the Eagles were 28 to 14, scoring twice as many as the Pistons!
Both teams did not make any substitutions, and both played the entire quarter with the lineup after Liu Mang's first foul!
Only after the first quarter, the Pistons felt the despair of the playoffs of the previous two years.

It's not that they are desperate for defense, nor are they desperate for not being able to make shots, but they are desperate for Liu Mang's wild three-pointer, just like Hamilton's mid-range shot, so they don't get tired!
In the first quarter, Liu Mang made 8 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line and took 12 shots in the whole quarter. But by the end of the first quarter, he still looked like he had boundless energy. On the other hand, Hamilton, who just wanted to run out of space, had already begun to show signs of fatigue!This is completely unimaginable for Hamilton. He never thought that he would be tired from running!

In the second quarter, the two teams began to rotate.

The high-intensity offense and defense of the Pistons consumes a lot of energy. The overall playing time of the Pistons starters this season is less than that of Carlisle. Time, although the first quarter is not very preventable, but physical exertion cannot be avoided.

In the second quarter, Stockton came on the field with a rotation lineup for the Eagles. Jason Terry, Barnes, Boozer, and Ratliff played, grinding their positions, and playing offense!
The combination of Atkins, Bob Sura, Chris Williams, Campbell and Okur sent by the Pistons is not at all the opponent of the Hawks bench bandits led by Stockton.

The main reason is Bob Sura, who completely regards himself as a wrist. As the fourth scorer of the Pistons besides Hamilton, Bosh, and Stephen Jackson, he scored more points than Billups averaged 12 points per game. He averaged 12.7 points per game this season. The whistleblowing scale became looser, but it made Barnes's defensive end become infinitely powerful, locking up Bob Sura.

Boozer and Okur are slowly drifting outside the three-point line. Okur has no chance to make a three-pointer. Campbell on the inside is guarded by Ratliff, who is physically strong, and he dare not catch the ball. This is the second consecutive year.
After the Hawks' bench gangsters came up, they relied on the pick-and-roll cooperation of Stockton and Boozer to organize the offense. Jason Terry's mid-range shots and Barnes's air-cut opportunities were numerous, and the Pistons were rubbed against each other!

By the time the second quarter was officially suspended, the Pistons had collapsed!

The Eagles had a lot of experience playing against the Pistons. When Liu Mang tried out the Pistons' "New Application of Jordan's Law", he found a way to break the Pistons' defense in the starting stage, and after the Eagles locked Hamilton, the Pistons collapsed!

In the second half of the second quarter, after Liu Mang brought Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown up, the game completely lost suspense. The Eagles once again launched a meat grinder defense and one person played four players. Cutting or rebounding tactics against the Pistons, even if the Pistons replaced the main force, there was no good way.

Larry Brown was so angry that he was vomiting blood on the sidelines. He could see that the Eagles were "plagiarizing" his tactics from the 76ers!

And the Eagles have an even better lineup!Do better than his 2000-2001 season!

Looking at his disciple Mike Woodson on the Eagles bench, Larry Brown had the feeling that he had taught the apprentice to starve the master to death!

After halftime, the Eagles were 54 to 31, leading by 23 points!
How to play this game?
看着刘莽半场26投10中，三分14中6，罚球5中4拿到30分，和自家这边的总得分都只差1分了，活塞队过去两年季后赛的那种绝望再次浮现在心头。

Not the opponent of this team at all!No match for that nasty bastard at all!

The desperation in the hearts of the Pistons players was overwhelming.

For Liu Mang, he scored 30 points in the half and took 26 shots. He was very happy to shoot, except that his shooting percentage was really bad, which was better than that of the little blacksmith, but he really shot well!
Unfortunately, the Pistons surrendered after halftime, and the players had no fighting spirit. In order to avoid being massacred, avoiding such an ugly point difference or even a fight, Larry Brown angrily put the main players on the bench, announced their surrender, and replaced them with pure substitutes to save a little face.

The Eagles didn't go too far here, using Stockton and Boozer to bring Willie Green, Barnes, and Kwame Brown up to collect statistics.

Stockton watched his total assists get bigger and bigger with Mark Jackson and Magic Johnson, and he was not to mention how happy he was, and he took the substitutes and the Pistons' substitutes to play against each other happily.

Larry Brown looked at Mike Woodson, who was happily chatting with the Eagles stars on the Hawks bench, and finally understood why the Pistons didn't come when his teacher told him to come with him last summer. The gap between the two teams' lineups is too big!
Larry Brown hated the Eagles for taking the Rasheed Wallace they wanted in advance. He originally wanted to wait for Rasheed Wallace to be sold at a low price when the Blazers couldn't sell it. He didn't expect to be picked up by the Eagles!And he is the only head coach who feels that the Eagles have found a treasure when Rasheed Wallace joined the Eagles, because he knows that Rasheed Wallace is a player who can play well as long as he has enough motivation and a good enough team atmosphere.

It's just... If Larry Brown knew that the Prince who made him jealous was originally his player, but was snatched away by Liu Wei, it might not be as simple as jealousy...

On Liu Mang's side, he clocked in at 30 minutes to get off work, everything was so beautiful.

What puzzled him was, how come Bosh, who became the second pick, has no sense of presence?Watching Bosh follow the substitutes up to brush the data and brush the data happily, this is too unpursuing!Why didn't you think of provoking the young master?

Liu Mang didn't have a goal other than winning this game. He just wanted to try and conquer Bosh, one of the "future Big Three" of the 03 generation, how difficult it would be. But he didn't expect that Bosh didn't appear in the position to fight against him at all. Even when he broke through to the basket, he stood in the three-second zone and watched, and didn't try to defend.

Just when Liu Mang was confused, the system prompt came.

"Ding... The host has conquered the 2003 rookie Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh admires the host's ability to lead the team."

"..."

Liu Mang was speechless!This Bosh is too unpursuing!No wonder in the future James and Wade say hello, he will be the third child!
