From today on is the king

Chapter 922 921. 14 assists in a single quarter!
"Ding...Because the Jazz team tried to use the game led by the host alone as a stepping stone to rebuild the team's confidence, the challenger series of tasks: the anger of the rogue was triggered."

"Rogue's Rage: The host needs to lead the team to defeat the Jazz and score at least 30 points. Task reward: 10000 superstar points. Failure penalty: 20000 superstar points will be deducted."

Liu Mang doesn't mind the task name of Rogue's Rage for the time being, why at least get 30 points?Liu Mang felt that the system was looking down on him... Thinking that the opponent might continue to defend him with four defenses and one or even three defenses and one defense because except for Korver and him, the other three on their side did not have good shooting ability, Liu Mang stopped complaining.

Iguodala's three-point ability rating is only 74, and his open shots are not stable. Maybe the opponent still expects him to pass the ball to Iguodala.

Liu Mang looked at Boozer who squeezed Muhammad into the three-second zone and got stuck in the position to ask for the ball. He was so depressed. This guy with a white belt won the championship!

But the Jazz seem to want to win today. Boozer is decisive, Okuru has a three-pointer to open the space, Harprin is ready to hit the offensive rebound, and Kirilenko runs with Korver to contain the defense...

Liu Mang saw that the Jazz seemed to be fully prepared to win, and found it interesting, using Xiaoye as a stepping stone to build confidence?Liu Mang found it very interesting.

After Arroyo advanced, Liu Mang immediately defended him. This little point guard made a big splash last summer. If the opponent wants to play well, Liu Mang dare not underestimate him.

Arroyo didn't compete with Liu Mang, and when she saw Boozer asking for the ball, she immediately lobbed it.

The NBA is different from the national team. After playing for the Jazz for a few years, Arroyo already has a clear understanding of what to do and what not to do. As a draft pick, she is not very strong.

Boozer received the ball and felt the intense physical contact from his familiar old teammates behind him. He knew Muhammad's characteristics very well, but Muhammad's strongest point was not as strong as him!
Boozer slammed into the rear, Muhammad resisted with all his strength, but was still knocked back half a step, Boozer turned around very quickly in a low position, Muhammad just took half a step back, Boozer turned half-turned and pushed Muhammad aside.

At this time, Korver, who had a good defense awareness, pinched Boozer just as he turned around. When Liu Mang saw this, he screamed that it was not good, and immediately went to defend Kirilenko, but Boozer had already passed the ball. Kirilenko received the ball from behind Korver and made a front throw.

Boozer's low support is really powerful!A power forward averaging 3 assists per game!
After Kirilenko scored a goal, he called his teammates to retreat quickly. Liu Mang had no chance to counterattack. After receiving Mourning's serve, he continued to fall into a positional battle.

Just as Liu Mang expected, after he dribbled the ball past the center line, he clearly saw that the opponent had a tendency to shrink the center. He didn't notice it just now, but now he noticed that Harprin wanted to block the breakthroughs on both sides of him, put him in the center, and double-team him!
Liu Mang looked at the timer on the Jazz's basket and immediately called a timeout.

"..."

The Jazz players were ready to flank Liu Mang. It was an accident that Muhammad scored just now. Boozer and Okur's defense squeezed together. When the two retreated, they exchanged and discussed the defensive level of flanking Liu Mang.

Unexpectedly, after only one round, Liu Mang called a timeout!

The Hawks players returned to the bench. Coach Kruger knew that Liu Mang was going to switch pitchers, and he also saw the Jazz's defensive strategy.

Who should I replace?Jason Terry is definitely not good, and he will be up for a while. Calderon is the best candidate, and he cooperates tacitly.

But it's not bad to let new players go up. The opponent probably doesn't understand how they play after adding a new player.

As for defense, the opponent does not have a strong point in singles outside, as long as he is active enough to chase and defend off-ball players, and prevent the opponent from making air cuts and outside shots.

"Wesley, you go up, Andre, you come down, Ace, pay more attention to passing the ball, Nazr, pay attention to helping Ace block the flanking opponent, Alonzo pay attention to catch the ball and dunk, Ace may pass the ball at any time..." Coach Kruger immediately made a tactical response.

……

Back from the timeout, Coach Sloan didn't know what to say when he called the timeout just now, because there was nothing to say!
The Eagles continued to attack. Just now, Liu Mang used 6 seconds to advance to cross the center line. It took 16 seconds to observe, and there were [-] seconds left to attack.

Korver sent the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball and dribbled it to the top arc, and chose to break through again!

Sure enough, the opponent still wanted to let him into the middle!Knowing that there was a hole ahead, he still had to jump in. Liu Mang made a change of direction and entered from the middle, and the opponent immediately flanked him, and this time it was Boozer who came up first, and Okur was guarding the basket to block shots and grab rebounds.

Liu Mang continued to break into the inside line, leaning against Boozer, and took off!

Both Kirilenko and Harprin rushed forward.

Liu Mang didn't jump up to make a shot. It's the best way to make a hook like just now. He jumped up to pass the ball!

Liu Mang threw the ball in the air to his new teammate Pearson who ran to the right corner of the basket. After receiving the ball, Pearson made a quick three-point shot...

Coming up is a three-pointer!

Persson played 6 seconds and scored the first goal of his Eagles career!

After making a steady three-pointer, Persson returned to defense and made an "OK" gesture with his right hand, and put the circle formed by comparing his thumb and index finger against his right eye. This was his celebration!
The well-prepared veteran quickly entered the state. After receiving an assist, Liu Mang quickly retreated.

When it came time for the Jazz to attack, the Jazz still launched the offense with Boozer's low-post singles, using Rasheed - Wallace's absence, Boozer has become an absolute strength to deal with the Eagles.

The Jazz played well, and the offense launched by Boozer was very lethal. He shot without double-teaming, and passed the ball without double-teaming, showing a very comprehensive offensive technique.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang's breakthroughs were the main focus at first. The Jazz's defensive execution was very good, and they resolutely pinched Liu Mang.

But Arroyo alone can't guard against two three-point shooters!

When Persson made the first three-pointer, Korver felt a sense of crisis, received the ball more resolutely, and shot very accurately!The Jazz strictly implemented the defensive strategy of flanking Liu Mang, and the two made 7 of 4 three-pointers in the opening game!

Although the Jazz played a very good offense by relying on Boozer and Kirilenko's excellent forward support such as passing, catching, and passing after catching, there is a saying that is a bit vulgar, but it makes sense in this case.

Three points are always one more point than two.

Halfway through the first quarter, although the Eagles only made 12 of 5 shots, they made 7 of 4 three-pointers, plus Liu Mang's two free throws, and a put-back by Muhammad, and scored 16 points in the half quarter!
Although the Jazz made 10 of 6 shots and made 12% of their shots, they only had [-] points!
The addition of a veteran pitcher eased Liu Mang's crisis of being flanked.

If you have a pitcher, you can be willful!
Although Liu Mang only scored 3 points with free throws in the start, he missed a single of his 86 shots, and Mourning's catch and layup was also interfered by Okur, but there was a spot-up shooter with an 88 three-point rating and a veteran pitcher with an 4 three-point rating. Liu Mang got [-] assists in half a quarter!
The Jazz called a timeout early, and the game entered its first official timeout.

It’s not that Coach Sloan doesn’t know how good Pearson is. Although Pearson’s peak was in the Cavaliers, he was a rookie of the Suns. In his rookie season, he helped Barkley reach the tiebreaker with the defending champion Rockets in the second round of the playoffs as the starting small forward. Every head coach has the impression that this is an excellent pitcher who has played 6 games and made at least 1 three-pointer in 114 games.

But the reason why coach Sloan made the team strictly implement the flanking strategy was not because Liu Mang scored 3 points in just 60 quarters of the last game?
It's just that Coach Sloan didn't expect that Liu Mang's pass didn't fall, the pass was still so accurate, and he scored 60 points in the last game, but he didn't rush to shoot in the second game!
This frustrates Coach Sloan's arrangement from the very beginning, the kid on the opposite side has a completely different head from an ordinary person!
Liu Mang returned to the bench and had 4 assists in the half quarter, which was quite cool.

Korver and Persson had played for half a quarter, and they were almost replaced at this time. One was young and the other was old. Korver made two three-pointers at the beginning, but after Persson made 3 of 2 three-pointers, he shot two consecutive three-pointers.

However, it was enough to sustain the start. Coach Kruger replaced Jason Terry and Iguodala, and replaced Muhammad and Varejao on the inside. It was time to protect the rebound, because Liu Mang and Jason Terry were about to play!
……

Back from the timeout, the Jazz didn't make any substitutions during the official timeout, and they still made their full starting debut. Obviously, they have to fight.

The Jazz attacked, and Boozer played a few low post shots, but he couldn't do it anymore. When he went to the low post, the opponent replaced Varejao to defend him.

Boozer came out to serve Arroyo in a pick-and-roll, an extremely poor man’s pick-and-roll combination. Liu Mang saw that Arroyo was actually playing a pick-and-roll, and immediately took a step back to block Boozer who wanted to go down. Mohammed followed Boozer. He also took a step back. He was not afraid of Arroyo’s three-pointers.

Sure enough, Arroyo did not dare to throw a three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, which violated the first principle of the ball-handler in the pick-and-roll tactic. If there is a chance, he has to shoot, otherwise how can he help the split target attract defense?

The Jazz came back and wanted to play a pick-and-roll, but it stalled at the beginning!
Arroyo hesitated for a second. Liu Mang and Boozer had switched defenses and came back. Arroyo had no choice but to shoot a long two-pointer with a mid-range pull-up jumper... under Liu Mang's interference, he almost missed the basket and wiped it on the basket.

Varejao's rebound awareness is very good, he grabbed a defensive rebound and passed it to Liu Mang immediately.

At this time, Jason Terry had already started running, and Kirilenko and Harprin chased after Jason Terry. Liu Mang immediately took the ball and made a fast break. Iguodala and Muhammad, who defended to the middle distance, flew together on both wings, and the cavalry company charged!
When Liu Reck went beyond the three-point line, he suddenly realized that the opponent hadn't gone to Jason Terry. Kirilenko flew up to stop Liu Reck from chasing the three-pointer. Liu Reg reacted quickly and didn't catch the ball. He dribbled to the left, and Halprin had already posted it.

Liu Mang decisively threw the ball to the basket, and Iguodala followed up and rushed in for an alley-oop dunk and scored two points.

5 assists!

Jason Terry was so depressed. He tried his best to jump up for the lob, but Liu Mang threw it too high. He could only look at Liu Mang depressedly. Passing the ball directly for a layup would kill him!

It was the Jazz's offense again, and Boozer could only continue to play singles. This time it was a mid-range high-face singles. Facing Muhammad's defensive mid-range shot, Muhammad defended well. Boozer was forced to lean back. The ball bounced on the basket twice and fell into the basket.

This is the time to rely purely on touch. The Jazz lacks a playmaker. Although they have the real strength of the edge of the playoffs, it is still difficult to deal with a team like the Eagles that has a much worse lineup but has defensive discipline. Only after Boozer has the advantage can he have a chance to play tactical cooperation.

It was the Hawks attack again, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt. The Jazz double-teamed and changed their strategy. Before Liu Mang was blocked to the middle distance, Liu Mang made a pass to the outside. This time, Harprin and Kirilenko directly double-teamed at the top arc!

Liu Mang is also going all out, if you want to double-team, then pass the ball and pass them to death!
Kirilenko, who was originally defending Iguodala, came to flank Liu Mang. Iguodala thought for a long time off the court, how to play when he was emptied and blocked by a few big men inside, and he figured out a way.

Jason Terry couldn't run well and couldn't get rid of Arroyo's active marking. He was very happy to see Iguodala's pick-and-roll, and ran towards the bottom corner with Iguodala's off-ball pick-and-roll.

Liu Mang protected the ball with difficulty, waiting for his teammates to give him a chance, and immediately passed it to Jason Terry. Jason Terry caught the ball from the bottom corner.

"Swish"

The Eagles hit the fifth three-pointer in a single quarter!Liu Mang got the sixth assist in a single quarter!
Liu Mang's assists soared!

21 to 14, the Eagles lead by seven points!
In the next period of time, although Boozer, Harprin, and Kirilenko all played a certain role in singles, Okur also pulled out and scored a three-pointer, but the Jazz's defensive style of focusing on Liu Mang and expecting the rest of the Eagles to miss shots made Liu Mang's assists skyrocket!

After playing, the Jazz didn't dare to be so active in flanking, but Liu Mang didn't like it. He rushed to the inside with the ball in his arms, forcing the opponent to double-team. The Jazz couldn't just watch Liu Mang rush in and score.

On the final attack of the first quarter, the Eagles had the ball. Liu Mang rushed inside to attract Okur's double-team and threw it to the right baseline. Josh Smith, who replaced Muhammad, received the ball and flew into the air. After gliding in the air, he smashed the ball into the basket!

This is Liu Mang's No. 14 assists in a single quarter!
In addition to 14 assists, Liu Mang also scored 7 points, made 1 three-pointer and four free throws, 7 points and 14 assists in a single quarter, of which 5 passes were three-point assists. The Eagles scored 26 points in the second half of the first quarter!
After the first quarter, the Eagles were 42 to 28, leading the Jazz by 14 points in a single quarter.

It’s not that the Jazz didn’t play well offensively. They have already used their advantages as much as possible. The 28 points in a single quarter were excellent, which was more than their usual offense. However, they kept double-teaming and even double-teaming Liu Mang in advance in order to prevent Liu Mang from scoring.

Jason Terry came up and made two three-pointers and two mid-range shots. He scored 10 points in the half quarter. Liu Mang never handed over the ball in the second half of this quarter.Just scoring three-pointers accounted for half of the team's points!The Jazz were so scared that they didn't dare to let go of the Eagles' mid-range shots except for pinching Liu Mang. They also let Liu Mang pass inside to Josh Smith and Varejao to get several assists.

The Jazz didn't want Liu Mang to score high and not let Liu Mang score 15+ points in three consecutive quarters like the last game against the Warriors. They did this, but it also stimulated Liu Mang, allowing Liu Mang to use the Jazz's defense to get 14 assists in a single quarter, tying the historical record of assists in a single quarter created by John Lucas in 1984!
