From today on is the king

Chapter 657 656. New Jersey Raptors
After ten games, the Eagles return to the starting five!
The starting combination of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff debuted.

On the Nets side, after trading away Kenyon Martin, they used their 2005 second-round pick to trade for the Warriors' Clifford Robinson, and took Clifford Robinson's big contract to supplement the shortage of insiders.

The Nets sent Kidd, Carter, Richard - Jefferson, Clifford - Robinson, Jason - Collins starting lineup.

The Nets are terribly strong on the outside, but there are two players whose abilities are less than 70 on the inside. Jason Collins is a meat shield center. Playing well, it is a pity that age is irreversible. Even with Kidd, Clifford Robinson's statistics after coming to the Nets are only 1600 points and 39 rebounds.

Since the two teams had just had a fight on the 1st of this month, which also led to a ten-game suspension for Rasheed Wallace, the number of security guards at the Eagles' home court has increased significantly.

And this battle of focus, many fans are paying attention. The TV station is eager to make troubles during the game, so it can get attention. The league is also reluctant to have such a high-focus game without a live broadcast, so the Eagles can only increase the number of security personnel at home to solve unexpected problems.

The starting players of the two teams came to the court and stood up. Liu Mang waited for Rasheed Wallace and Jason Collins to jump the ball. He had already seen the Nets directly making defensive moves. In order to guard against his own fast break, Liu Mang did not do those useless things.

Without any suspense, Rasheed Wallace easily won the jump ball from Jason Collins, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.

Richard Jefferson saw Liu Mang advancing, and immediately rushed forward to press the defense.

Liu Mang raised his left arm to separate space from Richard Jefferson to avoid being intercepted, and he did not rush to attack because Richard Jefferson oppressed the breakthrough space exposed by the defense.

So obvious!

The Nets have no inside line at all now. It is clear that they want to use the oppressive defense to force Liu Mang to make quick offensive choices and increase the rhythm, but Liu Mang is not fooled and plays steadily.

Richard Jefferson kept oppressing Liu Mang's body, but he didn't dare to reach out for the ball for fear of being fouled by Liu Mang, so he didn't have a substantial oppressive effect on Liu Mang. Liu Mang used his arms to separate Richard Jefferson from a little space. The role of the iron elbow made Liu Mang's arms very powerful, which played a great role in all aspects.

Seeing that his teammates were positioned according to the established tactics, Ratliff was on the left edge of the three-second zone near the baseline, and Rasheed Wallace was at the junction of the high and low positions on the left side of the three-second zone. The two opened up the space on the right side of the basket.

After his teammates settled into the offensive position, Liu Mang took a step back, lowered his waist, and made a posture to break through.

Seeing that Liu Mang was not disturbed by his oppressive defense, nor did he attack in advance because of the breakthrough space he exposed, Richard Jefferson had no choice but to retreat to the three-point line and open up space with Liu Mang, trying to defend Liu Mang at the three-point line.

Liu Mang looked at Richard Jefferson who was retreating into the three-point line, looked at the distance between himself and the three-point line, laughed, and suddenly grabbed the ball...

Richard Jefferson, who had been staring at Liu Mang, saw Liu Mang suddenly showing a sinister smile, screamed badly, and rushed forward.

But Liu Mangmao grabbed the ball and jumped too fast when he slapped it down and the ball bounced back. When Richard Jefferson pounced on him, he had already thrown the ball!
The king of dry drawing triggers at level 5!
Liu Mang's three-point shot was not affected by the lack of shooting rhythm, nor was it disturbed by the rushing Richard Jefferson. It was a perfect shot!
With smooth movement transitions and standard shooting movements, Liu Mang competed with Kobe and Tracy McGrady for the title of "Picturesque".

It's just...it's picturesque...it wouldn't be called picturesque...

Liu Mang's three-point shot was smooth and beautiful, and he was not affected by the opponent's interference or his own rhythm, but he shot it crookedly, so there was nothing he could do.

Richard Jefferson didn't disturb Liu Mang by pounced on him. He turned his head to watch the ball fly out in despair, and then despair turned into surprise. The flight path of the ball was a bit crooked!
The ball bounced high on the left side of the basket. Richard Jefferson was about to breathe a sigh of relief and was about to make a fast break, but... the basket became chaotic!
Although Clifford Robinson and Jason Collins have the advantage of standing closer to the basket, when Liu Mang directly made a three-pointer, Rasheed Wallace and Ratliff had already started wrestling with Clifford Robin and Jason Collins to compete for the position at the basket. Raheem also squeezed Carter and rushed to the inside.

The inside line started hand-to-hand combat!
After the ball bounced and landed, the six people under the basket didn't know who's hand touched the ball first, but they couldn't hold it firmly and were thrown away by another one. Then the ball was tapped several times in the air, and Raheem finally poked it out of bounds.

There were constant exclamations at the beginning of the game. There was such an exciting fight at the beginning of the game. The inside line was completely like a fight. The referee almost blew his whistle in fright, and the security guards who had already been on guard almost rushed in.

Fortunately, there are no movements aimed at people, and they are all allowed within the rules to block positions. It's just that the movements are a bit bigger, but they are all directed at the ball.

It is a pity that the Hawks did not make up the ball in the three frontcourts, but Liu Mang and Prince have retreated to prevent the ball from being grabbed by the Nets and counterattacking.

The referee judged the Nets baseline ball.

The three frontcourts of the Eagles could only retreat. Liu Mang gave them high-fives one by one at the top arc. Although he failed to score the ball, it was mainly because he missed the shot, but it doesn't matter if he didn't score.

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the initiation and handed the ball to Carter at a 45-degree angle. Carter attacked with the ball on the street, and Prince defended in front of Carter.

Clifford Robinson and Jason Collins are [-] meters tall and Jason Collins [-] meters tall. The height of the basket is not a problem, the tonnage is also sufficient, and the hand-to-hand combat under the basket is very good, but they can't defend. Although Clifford Robinson is much better than Kenyon Martin in his career, the gap between Clifford Robinson and Kenyon Martin is too big now, and it is impossible to play the role of Kenyon Martin.

But the Nets' offensive end is better than before. After all, with Carter, their breakthroughs and points from the three outside lines are terrible.

Prince defends against Carter alone, and the pressure is still a bit high. This is one of the best swingmen in the league. When Prince is afraid of Carter's breakthrough, Carter suddenly pulls up a three-pointer like Liu Mang!
Prince didn't expect that Carter would shoot directly with his height and wingspan advantage!

Also in a hasty shot, Carter hit the front of the basket with a three-pointer and bounced towards the top arc. Liu Mang, who was following Richard Jefferson's pick-and-roll without the ball at the top arc, heard the sound of iron strikes. He turned his head and saw a ball flying in front of him.

Liu Mang's first reaction was to counterattack. He turned around and his legs tensed up to speed up, but he immediately stopped the idea of ​​scoring a counterattack, but he held the ball behind his back to prevent Kidd and Richard Jefferson from stealing. He waited for his teammates and opponents to run forward before slowly pushing the ball forward.

Carter, Richard - Jefferson so depressed!

Regardless of whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, if you want to speed up the pace, Liu Mang just won't be fooled!
How could Liu Mang fail to see what the Nets' three perimeter players were thinking?
Don't you just want to play a connecting paragraph?
The Nets made it clear that they wanted to use some seemingly erroneous defenses and offenses to speed up Liu Mang, and their three outsiders could run and play. The offensive combination of Richard Jefferson and Carter scored more points than Richard Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, and Kittles!
The Nets wanted the Eagles to counterattack, and then the Nets took advantage of the Eagles' counterattack and then the defensive foothold was not stable, and then played the Eagles' counterattack, and the Nets were obviously more proficient in this style of play.

The current Nets are really looking more and more like a poor man's version of the running and bombing team. Their lineup is obviously the original lineup of the 2004-2005 season. That year, their lineup met Wade and O'Neal in the playoffs. The two teams averaged 110 points per game...

Don't be fooled!
Liu Mang fought steadily, and the Eagles became the first team to lower the tempo in this game.

After an unreliable three-pointer in the opening game, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and waited for his teammates to take their positions before starting to play hard.

Liu Mang chose to break through on the right!

Richard Jefferson's defense is really good, sticking tightly next to Liu Mang, Liu Mang suddenly took a step inside the free throw line, suddenly grabbed the ball and took a step forward, as if to shoot directly, the ball was lifted up.

Richard Jefferson knows this old opponent very well, and knows that the opponent may be a fake move. Liu Mang's one-handed ball fake move is already very famous, and he is regarded as McGrady who is ten centimeters shorter.

Richard Jefferson threw it when Liu Mang stepped out to hold the ball up. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and took it back. He slowly changed direction and stepped into the three-second zone and jumped towards the basket.

Both Jason Collins and Clifford Robinson shrunk in when Liu Mang changed direction, and rushed towards Liu Mang to block the shot when Liu Mang jumped up.

However, when Liu Mang jumped towards the basket, he jumped out of the bottom line!
Rasheed Wallace stepped into the basket from the left side of the basket, separated Clifford Robinson who threw it, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands!

no-look-pass!And it's a pass through the crotch!
When he jumped up, he slapped the ball under the crotch, from the crotch of himself and Clifford Robinson to the middle, and Rasheed Wallace cut in and caught the ball and dunked with both hands!
After scoring the goal, the Eagles returned to defense immediately, without celebrating, just to suppress the rhythm.

In the attack just now, Liu Mang took 10 seconds to break through. When Rasheed Wallace dunked the ball, there were only 5 seconds left, which pulled the rhythm very low!
It is to fight positional warfare.

The Nets continued to try to play fast and speed up in the next two rounds, but this style of play led to extremely low offensive efficiency!And the Eagles just don't want to be fooled, they just want to grind their positions slowly.

The Eagles' positional battle is also excellent, especially with Rasheed Wallace who can open up space and dunk dunks. The offensive efficiency is good. The Eagles started with 5 points on 3 of 6 shots.

The Hawks have a strong advantage at the basket. Although the Nets are desperately trying to hold the defensive rebounds, when the Hawks can't score and have no chance to grab offensive rebounds, they often hit the ball directly out of the baseline without giving the Nets a chance to counterattack.

There was no other way. Seeing that Liu Mang attracted Carter's double-team after the breakthrough, he passed it to Raheem. Raheem made a mid-range shot. After the Hawks scored 6 points, the Nets could only follow the rhythm of the Hawks and settle down.

The opening was opened by 6 points, and the Nets could only play positions.

If they play position, the Nets can actually play, but they have no chance of winning. The Eagles have too much advantage at the basket, and the ground is slowly grinding.

The Nets can only use the regular style of play of an ordinary team. Kidd’s pick-and-roll jumper and open three-pointer, Carter’s breakthrough shot, Richard Jefferson’s air cut to respond to Carter and the corner three-pointer. The players who scored against the peak 6ers, their strength is evident.

Relying on breakthrough points and scoring with others, the Nets' scoring began to rise.

Among active players, except for Iverson, Carter is the only one who can get 50+ points in both the regular season and the playoffs. It’s just that he usually doesn’t focus on how to win.

But Carter's offensive end is very good, perhaps because his physical fitness has not declined. His physical fitness is too good, but the defensive end is indeed quite lazy, so he wants to make up for defense and block shots.

Liu Mang made consecutive breakthroughs in the positional battle, and Carter wanted to block Liu Mang's rhythmic breakthroughs.

Raheem got shots from the same position in a row. In the first quarter, he took 7 shots at a point on the right side of the three-second zone, and made 5 shots!
Moreover, although Carter's breakthrough points are powerful, they are mainly passed to the outside. The outside shooting rate is high, and Kidd's open three-pointers are getting better and better. Especially after Carter came, Kidd encountered fewer and fewer defenses from the outside.

Not to mention Richard Jefferson, this year is a transformation compared to last year. The second Carter title is not for nothing, and the three-point cut is awesome!
Compared with the outside line, the Nets' offensive inside line is just a decoration, and Ratliff can crush them to death by himself.

After Rasheed Wallace started defending against Richard Jefferson's air cut, Carter's offense began to be hindered. At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles still led by 27 points 22 to 5!
In this kind of positional battle, Kidd completely lost the advantage of instigating the two-wing counterattack, and became a pure pitcher!

The Nets seem to have become the New Jersey Raptors!
