From today on is the king

Chapter 692 691. Ben Wallace can't help it

This kind of shameless behavior called a timeout is not only considered excessive by the Pistons players, but also the Eagles players feel a little "ashamed".

After playing for only one minute, the opponent scored two three-pointers and immediately called a timeout to interrupt the opponent's rhythm. The last player in the league who could do such a thing was Popovich, and the previous one was Old Nelson, a defensive coach before he went "crazy".

Liu Mang often did this kind of thing in the past two years, but he did it less this year. He did not expect to do it again today.

But otherwise, the coaching staff and teammates really couldn't get used to it.

"Ace, is there any way to limit the opponent's three-pointers?" Mike Woodson asked first.

"Restrictions? Why should they be restricted? Let them vote." Liu Mang said with winks.

"Let them shoot? Haha, Ace, yes, let them shoot!" Mike Woodson was thinking about the countermeasures after his team was scored two consecutive three-pointers by the Pistons. He only reacted after hearing Liu Mang's words. Why should they restrict their three-pointers?

"What do you mean?" Coach Kruger held the tactical board tightly in his hands and asked. If he was given a little more time and played two more rounds, he would be able to see the charade between Liu Mang and Mike Woodson. But he is an all-round coach after all, and he has good tactics, mainly offensive. The temporary first reaction on the defensive end depends on the assistant coach.

Liu Mang spread his hands and said, "I can make three-pointers all the time, can they?"

Seeing Liu Mang getting more and more arrogant and shameless, Coach Kruger calmed down. Now that everyone said it was up to him, and called a timeout, Coach Kruger helped Liu Mang arrange a three-pointer and called the players to draw together...

……

After the timeout, the lineups of the two teams have not changed, and the ten players are still playing.

Billups is a little bit proud now, except for the first two times when he and Liu Mang played against each other two years ago, since last season, when he and Liu Mang played against each other, Liu Mang had never paid much attention to it. He even did such things as calling a timeout to interrupt their hand feel shamelessly at the beginning, which made Billups even more excited!
The Eagles continued to play in the backcourt, Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and once again chose to speed up after crossing the center line.

It was Hamilton who defended. The Pistons scored two three-pointers in a row. Driven by Ben Wallace, the morale soared. Hamilton defended more actively and had a clearer mind. Instead of being surprised, he slowly moved sideways. When Liu Mang was close to the three-point line, he saw that Liu Mang was about to accelerate again, and then pressed towards Liu Mang.

As long as Liu Mang is forced to go sideways, this is the common practice of all teams in the league with strong defense against breakthroughs. It’s just that some teams can do it well, and some teams can’t do it well, and the Pistons happen to be a team that can do it very well.

Just when Hamilton seized the best opportunity to move laterally and pressed towards Liu Mang, he was blocked!

According to the tactical arrangement, Rasheed Wallace came out to help Liu Mang block Hamilton!

Liu Mang went directly around the pick-and-roll, and before Bosh made a save, Rao made a three-pointer from the pick-and-roll!

With a very focused and confident shot, Liu Mang hit the basket again with a three-pointer!

6 to 6 level!
"Three points? Do you want to come again?"

Liu Mang didn't even look at the defending Hamilton. Instead, he spoke loudly to Billups and Stephen Jackson who were on the same side. While talking, he spread his hands with his arms intertwined and shrugged his shoulders, as arrogant as he wanted.

After speaking, Liu Mang turned around and returned to defense.

Sometimes the morale is high, which brings not only enthusiasm, but also blood. The famous example is that after Artest dunked the bottom line in the future, when Harden put his head in front of his shoulder, he gave Harden an elbow.

Billups and Stephen Jackson were already in a state of excitement because of the morale driven by Ben Wallace, and during the timeout, Ben Wallace kept praising the two of them, making them more motivated.

Now seeing Liu Mang's arrogant appearance, they have no fear or worry, they just want to do it!

In terms of language, they have nothing to refute Liu Mang. Liu Mang averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game this season, a little more than Peja's 3.2 per game.

Liu Mang's average three-pointers per game is almost catching up with the entire Pistons team. Counterattacking with words is not the strong point of Stephen Jackson and Billups. The former is good at using fists, while the latter is a boring gourd. The two counterattacks with words can only be regarded as funny behavior, especially when the opponent is one of the most poisonous players in the entire NBA.

But the two are not happy!
Billups has always been confident in his ability, especially three-pointers. Even if he almost broke Jordan's three-pointer contest record, he is confident. If he hadn't maintained this confidence, he would have been beaten to the point of being reduced to an ordinary player in his continuous wandering career, and his No. 30 average three-pointers per game in the league also gave him enough confidence!
Stephen Jackson had been abused by Liu Mang since he first entered the NBA, and he was very afraid of Liu Mang's explosive power to dunk him that time, but in this situation, he won't need him to defend Liu Mang, because of the encouragement of Ben Wallace!
Just do it!
The Pistons attacked, and Billups continued to press the rhythm to advance to the frontcourt. To his surprise, it was not Prince who defended, but Liu Mang!

This made Billups surprised and excited, because there is no doubt that Prince is the strongest perimeter defender of the Eagles. No matter how good Liu Mang's defense is, it can't compare with the innate defensive advantage brought by Prince's excellent hardware conditions. Therefore, starting from this season, the Eagles' first choice of perimeter defense has become Prince. This is something that other teams in the league know.

When it was Liu Mang's turn to defend, Billups obviously felt a lot less pressure. It was too difficult to shoot a three-pointer against Prince's defense. He was ready to pick and roll or pass to Stephen Jackson to play a single first. Now the Pistons have the most advantage in singles, but Stephen Jackson is against Raheem. As Liu Mang and Prince's defense is getting stronger and stronger, especially this season because of the rules and the league environment. The connection of defense, so he played more tiredly, which is also the reason why he has not had many offensive roles.

But to beat Liu Mang, Billups thought it was just right!Just want hard steel!

Because of the improvement in morale, Billups is confident!He moved his feet to find Liu Mang's defensive space.

Liu Mang was overjoyed when he saw that Billups hadn't made a breakthrough. If Billups didn't enter the lane, he wouldn't be able to form a connection with Hamilton. It wouldn't be very useful for Hamilton to run alone. The opponent is not a fool, seeing Hamilton run out of position to catch the ball?When the ball holder stands still, other defenders only need to cut off the passing and receiving routes of the ball holder and other opponents. Billups must also break through to attract part of the defense and disrupt the defense.

Now Billups is dribbling outside the three-point line, just like Liu Mang!

Liu Mang stared at Billups closely, trying to figure out Billups' next move.

But Billups is an amazing player, who gives the impression of being mature and stable, but when it comes to shooting... there are so many waves!
Liu Mang was still trying to predict Billups' next move. Billups aimed at the basket and made a direct shot!
Liu Mang didn't even react, the ball had already flown out of Billups' hands, and Billups felt really good today, continuing the feeling of being able to make shots against Prince's defense, the ball didn't even touch the basket, and made a hollow hit!

In 1 and a half minutes, the Pistons have scored 9 points!
This is simply too exaggerated for the Pistons' offense!
According to the scoring ability of the Pistons, they can score two points in one minute, which is amazing. Although this season has introduced two scorers, Stephen Jackson and Bosh, and even with Larry Brown, the offense is not worse than last season.

With today's start, the Pistons fans were all scared, and then everyone on the scene was shouting
Fuck his phobia, fuck his aviphobia, fuck his Ace Liu!The Pistons cheered for Chauncey, and Billups also excitedly retreated quickly, while spreading his hands to guide the cheers of the fans.

The field of Big Ben is really troublesome. With a short center with top physical fitness like Ben Wallace, the Pistons retreated so fast that the opponent had a headache. Liu Mang didn't even try to counterattack.

Liu Mang received the serve and pushed forward slowly. Billups' style of play really felt like a ghost!He felt that he was already rough enough, but now compared to this guy, he played so honestly!At least you have to think about creating an open opportunity for another three-pointer, this guy just took the ball and did it!

Just be more careful!Although Billups or Stephen Jackson started throwing wild shots regardless, which is their own defensive strategy, but if they really hit the shots and keep shooting, then it is not a defensive tactic, but self-inflicted!

However, this can be regarded as the painful period of tactical success!
The next thing that is more critical to Liu Mang is to throw the ball in!The continuation of this star-to-star link is a link that the Pistons should not have appeared in the first place.

As soon as Liu Mang started to advance, he heard Larry Brown in front of the technical stage next to him spraying wildly at the Pistons players on the field, telling them to defend well.

"This stubborn old man." Liu Mang slandered, this guy really is the kind of master who doesn't care whether he plays well or badly on the offensive end, and will scold others as long as he doesn't defend well.

This also just gave Liu Mang the opportunity to plan to break the fighting spirit of the Pistons this time!Because no matter how strong Billups is, Larry Brown never said that Billups is not good, even if Billups' overall shooting percentage is only more than 30.00%, but as long as the defense is not good, he will rant.

After halftime, Liu Mang immediately concentrated. After Larry Brown scolded the Pistons players, and the morale that was originally high became even higher because Billups hit another three-pointer, and the defense became more active!

When Liu Mang came to the top arc, Hamilton posted it immediately.

If it is a breakthrough, Hamilton will definitely not be able to stop it, but what Liu Mang wants now is three points!
Liu Mang continued to find Rasheed Wallace for a pick-and-roll, and Rasheed Wallace came to block Hamilton. Liu Mang used Rasheed-Wallace's pick-and-roll to just cross the two of them. Bosh, the tall and thin poor man's version of Garnett, blocked it, and the defensive end became extremely active!The difference between Bosh and Liu Mang's impression of him is that his defense is more active and better than when he grew up in the Raptors. Sure enough, the environment will make a huge change for a person!

The moment Bosh blocked Liu Mang, Hamilton had already bypassed Rasheed Wallace and attacked. Hamilton's speed and physical fitness were top-notch.

Can this be prevented?

At the moment when Rasheed Wallace hadn't cut to the inside, Liu Mang saw Hamilton coming around, immediately kicked his right foot, changed direction and jumped, and jumped back towards the top arc just now!Before Rasheed Wallace had time to make an air cut, he was once again used by Liu Mang as a pick-and-roll pile, and the same person continued to pick-and-roll!
At the same time, Liu Mang caught the ball in his hand, took it to his left waist, landed behind the top arc, took off again, and shot with a sniper!

Bosh's defensive enthusiasm exceeded Liu Mang's expectations!Squeezing away Rasheed Wallace rushed up and bumped into Liu Mang!

Liu Mang lost his balance in the air, and the ball has not been thrown yet!The referee became very cautious because of the relationship between the opponents in this game. Seeing this kind of action, the whistle immediately sounded. When Liu Mang lost his balance in the air, thanks to the increase in strength brought about by the strength training and strength fruits of the past two years and the progress of kung fu such as Tieshankou, when he was out of balance, he tried his best to keep the core strength and throw the ball to the basket as much as possible.

"Boom..."

Liu Mang fell miserably on the ground, this time the fall really hurt!

However, after the ball left Liu Mang's hand, it flew out, hit the backboard and bounced into the basket!

3+1!

"Ding... the host's waist muscles are bruised, and it takes 9 primary injury medicines to treat them, and 3000 superstar points to quickly heal them..."

"use!"

Liu Mang chose to use it without hesitation. This time it was not the time to play Return of the King. The morale of the opponent was high. If he left the field, the team might not be able to hold the three points!
It is definitely not because Liu Mang scored a three-pointer and has a chance to 3+1 that he came to a wave of "toughness", absolutely not!

The Eagles players were all terrified, and Bosh was also terrified. Just now he wanted to defend Liu Mang with all his enthusiasm, but he didn't expect to keep up with him. He deserves to be called Little Garnett's physical fitness, but he didn't expect his movements to be so big, and it wasn't intentional at all.

The pain in the waist disappeared all of a sudden, and Liu Mang jumped up from the ground with a carp before his teammates surrounded him. He didn't expect that the strength of the elbow joint of the Iron Elbow Kung Fu would be able to be handsome in this respect. Liu Mang felt that he had earned it.

I have to say that this action is really good-looking, and just now everyone thought that Liu Mang must have fallen badly enough that he had already been hit parallel to the ground, even if he was a player from the visiting team, and he was a player from the visiting team who had become an old enemy, some fans were so scared that they closed their eyes and said loudly "NO."

But seeing Liu Mang jump up directly, he didn't conflict with Bosh, and he didn't lie on the ground wanting a malicious foul or something, but directly went to high-five his teammates to celebrate the three-pointer, such Liu Mang...even the Pistons fans couldn't help sending sparse applause. Of course, more fans just breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't praise Liu Mang for it.

Bosh saw Liu Mang standing up like a normal person, but still blamed himself, and went up and said, "Boss Ace, I didn't mean it!"

Liu Mang looked at the rookie Dragon King...no, it should be called the future...Living King?Or King Sai?Or the King of Steel?It doesn’t sound very good, but Bosh the long-necked dragon. Seeing Bosh’s self-reproach, Liu Mang was very angry at first. This guy’s actions are too big, but because at the end of the season, he doesn’t want to cause troubles that may affect the record, so he didn’t go to see Bosh.

Seeing that Bosh blamed himself so much, Liu Mang's anger disappeared, and he responded casually: "It's okay, the defense was good, I almost missed the investment, just a little bit, you have to work hard."

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he walked towards the free throw line.

Hearing Liu Mang's words, it wasn't Bosh who got angry. Bosh didn't dare to offend Liu Mang. He was relieved that Liu Mang forgave him.

It's the rest of the Pistons who are angry!

Too embarrassing!

The most annoying thing is that this guy really has capital and arrogance. The three plus one just now is amazing!
Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made an extra free throw, scoring three three-pointers and one free throw!Liu Mang scored 10 points in a row at the start!
When it was time for the Pistons to attack again, Billups pushed forward with the rhythm again, and then he dribbled and dribbled, aiming at the basket while dribbling, ready to shoot at any time.

Liu Mang didn't get careless this time, and kept resisting Billups's hand movements. He didn't care if Billups wanted to pass or break through, he just needed to guard Billups for three-pointers.

With eight seconds left, Billups defied Liu Mang's defense and confidently shot a three-pointer again!

"Ding... Blocker level 5 trigger, from the host..."

This time, Liu Mang reacted in a timely manner, anticipating Billups' movements. The moment Billups jumped up, he immediately pounced on him. Liu Mang was better than Billups in height and wingspan, and his bounce was much better than Billups.

But this time luck was not so good, the ball broke when thrown out!Ratliff fought desperately against Ben Wallace. The two were equal in terms of static strength. They both focused on pushing each other. They had no extra energy to grab rebounds, and the rebounds could only fall on others. In this way, the Hawks had a huge advantage in rebounding. Rasheed Wallace blocked Bosh and Stephen Jackson who rushed in, and Raheem and Stephen Jackson rushed in together to easily receive the defensive rebound.

The moment the Pistons were completely blocked, the Pistons immediately chose to retreat. As soon as Raheem got the rebound, Ben Wallace had already retreated to the free throw line and was about to exit the three-point line. The defense was quite active.

This ridiculously slow rhythm is really annoying!
Fortunately, the Eagles have played a lot of games against the Pistons and Spurs, and they are used to it.

Liu Mang continued to receive the ball and steadily advanced to the frontcourt.

Hamilton is about to explode on the spot, why is this guy getting more ferocious every time!Liu Mang's 3+1 just now, apart from Bosh, the most frightening thing is him, another flanker, he can make a shot like that, it's too exaggerated!

In addition, Billups hit an iron, which caused the morale of the Pistons to decline to a certain extent. In addition, Liu Mang's 3+1 suppressed the rise of their morale. Now that kind of feeling of panic, others are fine, but Hamilton, who is facing Liu Mang, is about to be beaten again!

This time Liu Mang didn't accelerate from the center line, and slowly approached the three-point line.

Hamilton watched Liu Mang slowly approaching. Every time Liu Mang took a step, the pressure in his heart became greater, and he felt that his mentality was about to collapse!How long has it been since the fight, and Hamilton feels his palms are already wet!Quickly wipe it on your pants.

Liu Mang, who was outside the three-point line just now, noticed that Hamilton was distracted, so he pulled up and made a three-pointer!
Like Billups, Liu Mang also voted high and made waves!
Hamilton was distracted for a moment. When he reacted and jumped up, it was too late. Liu Mang had already taken off completely. When he jumped up, the ball slipped past his fingertips and fell into the basket again!
Four threes in a row!

Liu Mang scored 13 points in a row in the opening game!
After scoring this time, Liu Mang did not provoke. He turned around and ran to the backcourt. While running back, he raised his left hand to make a "4", which was obvious.

In the eyes of the Pistons players, especially Billups and Stephen Jackson, besides saying that he has made four three-pointers, it is more important to demonstrate to them!

And it's the kind of people who already "disdain" to use language to demonstrate!
Billups dribbled the ball forward angrily, and Larry Brown started swearing again, allowing the players to double-team Liu Mang, which made Billups even more upset and lost his composure.

Liu Mang hoped that the Pistons would start double-teaming, and he secretly praised Larry Brown's words.

Continue to defend against Billups. Billups can score three or four three-pointers in a game. He is considered stable because he gets almost the same data in each game.

Under Liu Mang's dedicated defense, Billups, who had been relying on his teammates' defense to wipe his ass, hit the iron again with a three-pointer. The Eagles guarded the defensive rebounds tightly, and the Pistons did not compete for offensive rebounds. The coach lost his temper. They retreated as fast as possible.

The offense and defense switched, the Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt. Just beyond the three-point line, it was obvious that Billups was about to let go of Prince's shrinking posture.

Liu Mang continued the pick-and-roll with Rasheed Wallace calmly, and then made a step-back jumper. Billups came back immediately. Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace attracted the defense of Billups, Hamilton and Bosh in the top arc. Prince cut in just right. Liu Mang threw the ball to the left.

"Snapped"

Ben Wallace's superb defense at the basket just squeezed Ratliff away and came over to give Prince a big cap!
As expected of Ben Wallace, the ability to block shots at the basket is too strong!His ability to guard the basket, one of the characteristics of level 5 in the Big Ben field, coupled with his level 5 hot pot feast, gave the air-cut Prince a big hat!
However, at this time, Raheem was stunned to grab the ball before Stephen Jackson and cut to the basket again. Ben Wallace actively blocked it again and blocked it perfectly in front of Raheem. Raheem couldn't rush in and threw the ball directly into the air.
Rao is Ben Wallace, no matter how strong his defense is, there is nothing he can do!He has tried his best to defend it, but he can block two with one defense and three, and the third one is really unstoppable!
"Hurry up and make one, I'll wait for you, don't make me wait too long." Liu Mang looked at Billups who was sticking to him and said with a smile, and then continued to defend.

If heartbreak could make a sound, then Billups' mind-blowing irrational heartbreak could spread throughout the noisy stadium!
I can't control that much anymore, Billups pushed into the frontcourt, he couldn't come by himself, he had to take it easy, he threw the ball to Stephen Jackson, Stephen Jackson couldn't wait for a long time!
