From today on is the king

Chapter 946 945. He's Playing With Me! (Another 5000-word chapter, please subscribe and ask for a monthly pass!)
Arenas scored 10 points in the half quarter!
Still in the playoffs!
That's pretty cool!

That is to say, Coach Kruger could hold his breath, so he didn't call a timeout in advance. Arenas on the Wizards side was in good shape, and it was impossible to call a timeout. Liu Mang and McGrady didn't call a timeout. They played 7 minutes in the first quarter, and the score was tied by the opponent. It happened to be the official timeout time, so Coach Kruger called a timeout.

Coach Kruger is calm because he is also scoring continuously. Generally speaking, he is not at a disadvantage. He relies on the normal tactics to get the points. In the playoffs, the tactics are very successful. However, the Wizards are obviously not successful at all from the tactical point of view. The scoring is all due to Arenas, and 16 of the 14 points are due to Arenas.

Jamison defended McGrady on the outside and Rasheed Wallace on the inside.

Regarding Larry Hughes, because Larry Hughes broke out when he met the Hawks in the first three games of the regular season, the Hawks studied for a long time and found that Kwame Brown was the best defender for the basket, so this game deployed a defensive strategy for this point. The Wizards Three Musketeers were blocked at once, and only Arenas broke out.

So the Eagles are not at a disadvantage.

But Arenas' rampage is indeed a problem. This season, there are only three players who can score 50+ at least twice. Apart from Kobe and Liu Mang, the other is Arenas.

Both Liu Mang and Prince couldn't defend against it alone, and their defense was too gentle.

So Coach Kruger discussed with Mike Woodson, planning to provoke Liu Mang.

Liu Mang has always defended against Arenas very well, why was he blown up today?The main thing is to be too polite!

Liu Mang was going to shoot more three-pointers during the official timeout to find his touch. Just now there was an open three-pointer and he missed it. He was hit by Larry Hughes and Heywood and felt the impact. He just took two shots and found a little feeling, and was called by Coach Kruger.

"What's the matter, coach, do you have any instructions?" Liu Mang acted as if I listened to your arrangement.

Coach Kruger replied: "Ace, Arenas on the opposite side is very good in singles!"

Why ask this, isn't it obvious?Liu Mang replied: "He, I, and Iverson should be the three most scoring point guards in the league. Of course, I am the best one."

Don't be ashamed!Coach Kruger almost didn't want to talk to Liu Mang, but held back.

"Ace, since you can't guard Arenas, let Andre guard it!" Coach Kruger began to use aggressive tactics.

But Liu Mang's thoughts, coach Kruger can understand, he is not Liu Mang...

"Coach, you are right, let Andre try to defend."

"That's right, Ace, you... what did you say?"

"What's wrong coach?"

"Get lost!" Coach Kruger kicked Liu Mang.

As soon as Liu Mang's Ghost Saber opened, he moved around...dodged the kick.

Coach Kruger didn't expect Liu Mang to agree directly, he just wanted to provoke Liu Mang to be more strict.

And Liu Wei thinks that role players should be used to defend. It doesn't matter if the action is rough and fouled, isn't that what role players are used for.

Seeing that Coach Kruger wanted to beat Liu Mang, it was no surprise to fans or players.

"Andre, Jason, you two go up, Andre, you go to defend Arenas, Ace, you go to defend Hughes, Jason, you and Ace play singles, Rasheed, Kwame, your mission remains the same."

Coach Kruger didn't come and didn't intend to let Iguodala play. The rookie would have reduced his playing time to very little in the playoffs, but he just wanted to stimulate Liu Mang.

Iguodala never expected to play in the first quarter of the playoffs!
Seeing that both Josh Smith and Calderon have been placed on the inactive list, and I heard Calderon say not to expect too much play time in the playoffs, these freshmen and sophomores are in the playoffs to experience the atmosphere of the playoffs, so Iguodala has done a good job of psychological construction, and the playoffs may only play in garbage time in the playoffs like the beginning of the season.

But unexpectedly, it was replaced suddenly!
……

……

Although he said that, Liu Mang himself was also thinking of ways to deal with Arenas.

Through this game and his original impression of Arenas, Liu Mang feels that Arenas is like a shooting version of Ginobili. Ginobili breaks through the top of the league. The mid-range shot is basically equivalent to not shooting three times in a game. He can’t make a shot anyway. It’s good to make one three-pointer per game, but it’s not a conventional offensive method. They were all about 30.00 times, and 30.00% of the shots were in the middle and long distances.

And both of them are the kind of people who think that leading the team alone can play good statistics, but it is difficult to lead the team to win alone in the playoffs. They need a good system to wipe their ass.

Playing this kind of runaway Arenas really feels like facing the outside shooting version of Ginobili, he is simply a super nerve knife.

Liu Mang decided to fight first and then talk about it. If he scored in the game, he was not afraid of anyone, he was so confident, and there was a king on the bench next to him!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry were talking about how to deal with Arenas, and the system prompt came right after playing!

"Ding... The king of the bench triggers, from Jason Terry."

"Ding...Jason Terry, a natural big-time player, appeared in the playoffs as a substitute, his ability exploded, his ability rating was 90, his offense was 92, his defense was 70, his three-pointer was 91, his mid-range shot was 88, his layup was 85,..."

Liu Mang's confidence comes from his own ability evaluation of 93, and Jason Terry, who will explode in the playoffs!

3 stars with 90+ ability evaluation!If it weren't for the backline players, Liu Mang and Jason Terry's overlapping play styles, the Eagles could go sideways in the playoffs.

The 28-year-old Jason Terry is at his peak. In the original history, he was four free throws away from winning the Finals MVP next season.

After the timeout, the Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Wizards replaced Arenas, Larry Hughes, Antonio Daniels, Jamison and Haywood.

The Eagles have the ball, Liu Mang is ready to start scoring points, singles versus singles!

Jason Terry sent the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang asked as he advanced, "Are you first or me first?"

Jason Terry shrugged and quickly ran to the frontcourt. Liu Mang understood and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Larry Hughes defended him.

Liu Mang stooped, imitating Arenas' crotch dribble and advancing to the top arc. Jason Terry and Iguodala stood at the two bottom corners respectively, widening the space of the top arc.

Liu Mang stopped thinking about how to deal with Arenas, and focused on the matchup with Larry Hughes.

Larry Hughes is also very focused on defending Liu Mang alone, ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, Liu Mang strode out to the right side. Larry Hughes reacted immediately, but he was worried that Liu Mang would break through from the left side, so he was a little slower. Liu Mang made a big stride towards the right side, and Larry Hughes hesitated for a moment.
Larry Hughes struggled to run towards the inside, and was parallel to the backboard with Liu Mang. Suddenly, Liu Mang made an emergency stop. Larry Hughes confiscated his foot and rushed into the inside line. Liu Mang made a mid-range jump shot from the free throw line!
"Ding... the sharpshooter triggers at level 5, because the host got rid of the perfect shooting opportunity, this shooting will not be disturbed by the rhythm."

Liu Mang's discomfort from a sudden stop disappeared, and the mid-range shots were like training, hitting hollow shots!

After raising the CIC ability evaluation to 90, in Liu Mang's training, 100 CIC training, he can hit almost 87 and 92, and if he is slower, he can even score [-] and three!

Although there is a gap between Nowitzki and the god-like CIC training performance that Nowitzki has completed 100 shots and 100 shots in training, it is already very good!

Seeing Liu Mang return to defense after throwing in, Arenas felt that this scene was very familiar... Isn't it the trick he used just now?That bastard is imitating him again!

In the first half of the first quarter, Arenas hit Liu Mang with 6 of 4 shots and scored 10 points and 2 assists. Now that he is confident, he feels that he is no worse than Liu Mang, and he wants to fight back!
The Wizards attacked, and Arenas singled Iguodala after advancing to the frontcourt.

Why does the magician always say that if he does not have AIDS, Jordan's No.1 status in history will not be so stable? It is because he was a big-time player in his rookie season.

Ordinary rookies, on the whole, are a little bit worse. Iguodala is like this. He was so excited. Seeing Arenas rushing over, Iguodala just posted it and was wiped by Arenas. He rushed to the free throw line and easily hit a jumper.

After Arenas scored a goal, he spread his hands towards Liu Mang, indicating that he also scored a goal.

"Hey, this kid is inflated!" Seeing that Arenas was so arrogant, Liu Mang was ready to have fun.

Liu Mang received the ball from Kwame Brown, passed it to Jason Terry, and said something to Jason Terry. Jason Terry gave Liu Mang a strange look, but it was not a big deal, so let's do it.

Liu Mang went to the frontcourt, pulled to the 45-degree angle on the left side where he was best at spot shooting, and waited for Jason Terry to single out Arenas.

When Arenas saw Jason Terry advancing, he was a little confused: Aren't you going to confront Biao?Why did you change people!
Substitutions are substitutions, people are inflated, and they are not afraid of anything. Arenas is waiting for Jason Terry to come over within the three-point line.

Jason Terry reached the top arc and wanted to shoot directly, but the opponent put too much, but thought what Liu Mang said was very funny, so he beckoned Kwame Brown to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Arenas felt that he could guard against it. When he saw Kwame Brown coming to pick and roll, he immediately followed Liu Mang's pick and roll to block Jason Terry's breakthrough.
Then, just as Arenas went around the pick-and-roll, he saw that Jason Terry didn't move at all!Directly one step outside the top arc just now, pull up a three-point shot!
At the age of 34, Jason Terry, who can shoot 10 of 9 in the playoffs, Arenas actually defended around the pick-and-roll, and Haywood actually waited inside the three-point line to prevent Kwame Brown from cutting!

Jason Terry came up with a long-range three-pointer!

21 to 18, the Eagles lead again by 3 points!
This scene is so familiar!

Isn't this the way I used the pick-and-roll to force a three-pointer just now?
Arenas saw Jason - Terry is also learning from him!

After Arenas became more confident, his temper exploded. This was his normal temper when facing other stars except Liu Mang. He wanted to fight back!

Arenas lost his temper, Larry Hughes was in pain, McGrady went down, and there was another Jason Terry. Although the Eagles didn't cooperate as before, one-on-one defense was enough, but he couldn't defend against two!
When the Wizards attacked again, Arenas singled Iguodala with anger. Iguodala suffered a loss and didn't dare to stick so tightly. He stayed inside the three-point line. Arenas saw Iguodala's defensive position. He took a step outside the top arc, the position Jason Terry shot just now, and directly shot a three-pointer...

Originally, Arenas' mentality of "counter-attacking" players allowed him to display his normal ability in tough battles, but now, he has swelled up, his mentality has changed, and his ultra-long-range three-pointers are iron!

Liu Mang rushed inside and stuck Larry Hughes who rushed inside together.

"Ding... rock-solid level 5 trigger, this time the host's strength in the defensive rebound competition has been greatly improved."

Larry Hughes's judgment on the rebound was very good, but was blocked by Liu Mang!It feels like being blocked by an inside line, and I can't push it at all!
Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace got stuck, and Liu Mang protected the defensive rebound.

The Wizards lost the offensive rebound and retreated quickly. Jamison returned to the four position, and the Wizards became more mobile.

Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry and ran to the frontcourt. Larry Hughes saw Jason Terry advance and went to defend Jason Terry.

Larry Hughes has no choice but to guard against whoever holds the ball on the opposite side. He has no avatar skills!

Who knows, Jason Terry passed the ball back to Liu Mang after halftime, and then ran towards the bottom corner.

Larry Hughes followed Jason Terry to the bottom corner, turned his head and saw Arenas' bewildered face, and could only pray for Arenas silently.

Arenas didn't expect to defend against Liu Mang's singles!Jason Terry can't even guard against Liu Mang?
Arenas didn't care so much anymore, he felt that he was no worse than Liu Mang, he had already broken the "phobia of ice", and posted towards Liu Mang.

Arenas' defensive intentions were too obvious. Liu Mang immediately saw that the opponent wanted to press up and not give him room to accelerate. When Arenas was in action, Liu Mang had already started to move.

The Eagles stretched out three players, Kwame Brown was at the basket, Rasheed Wallace could play every game, Liu Mang's singles space was perfect, and his touch was also good. In addition, Arenas' defense was really good.

Arenas is about to explode, just follow him!

23 to 18, 5 points lead!
Arenas aggressively pushed forward, and the three-point shot was actually a bit difficult. Just now, Arenas chose to break through this time. Iguodala was really too excited. He was passed by Arenas after dribbling the ball under his crotch. The other emotion brought about by the excitement was impatience.But the ball was thrown before it was knocked over, and it went in!
2+1!

Arenas fell to the floor and roared!He feels like he has been reborn!
Arenas also made a free throw, 21 to 23, and the point difference narrowed to two points again.

The Hawks didn't make any substitutions. Iguodala's athletic ability is what the Hawks need, otherwise Calderon wouldn't be allowed to wear a suit.

The Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Larry Hughes came to defend Liu Mang again this time.

Seeing Larry Hughes defending him, Liu Mang couldn't help but smile, laughing so hard that Larry Hughes' scalp went numb.

That smile is so evil!

This is how Liu Mang and Jason Terry came up with to bully Arenas. Both of them tried their best to score goals, and then Larry Hughes defended whoever played Arenas!The two fought for three rounds just now, and Larry Hughes was already hooked!
Liu Mang smiled twice and passed the ball to Jason Terry. Arenas just made one and was very excited. Because Jason Terry made a super long three-pointer just now, Arenas posted it to defend Jason Terry. Jason Terry stepped inside the free throw line and made a jump shot!

Jason Terry hit a mid-range pull-up jumper over Arenas, then Liu Mang singled him again, and then Jason Terry came again, and the two battled against his singles.

Arenas was really in good shape today. He competed with Liu Mang and Jason Terry by himself. The point gap was not widened all of a sudden, but he couldn't get close to the score either!
Moreover, although Arenas is not particularly troublesome in singles against Iguodala, his defense is worse than that of rookie Iguodala. The singles efficiency of Liu Mang and Jason Terry on the Eagles is higher than him!

The Eagles' scoring is rising faster than the Wizards!

By the end of the first quarter, the Eagles had a 32-26 lead by 6 points!

The point difference is not big, but the stability of the Hawks' scoring is terrible!

During the intermission, Arenas returned to the bench and saw the data and scores on the big screen. No matter how slow Arenas reacted, he has now come to his senses.

Although he scored 19 points in a single quarter, Liu Mang also scored 13 points in a single quarter, and Jason Terry scored 8 points in a single quarter. The two combined for 21 points in a single quarter!

Thinking of Liu Mang and Jason Terry using his tricks to deal with him, the efficiency is higher than him, and the other team's score is higher, everything is very clear...

Arenas withdrew from the game. After calming down for a while, he thought that the Eagles would not play tactics in the second half of the first quarter, so he understood everything.

"Ace, you bastard, you're playing with me!"

　I can make up the reward list of 15 people... 100 points will be very happy, thank you!
