From today on is the king

Chapter 964 963. Go for it
How can you be great without love?
Some players will cry because they were killed, some players will cry because they failed to win the game even after fighting for the whole game, and some teams will leave the game because they were dunked by a cross...

The Hawks players all love basketball, so they will be greatly affected emotionally because of the game, and their confidence will be affected after Billups scored two three-pointers in a row.

However, Liu Mang's self-confidence is stronger than the pressure from the Pistons. In other words, the pressure from the Pistons is nothing compared to the impact of Liu Mang's outstanding performance on the Eagles players!
The Hawks' active roster and suit-clad Calderon, McCarty, and Varejao gathered together, with Rasheed Wallace leading the way by yelling, "Go-Hawks-Go..."

The roar of the Eagles players drove the fans around the scene, and at the same time surprised the opposing coach Sanders, who was arranging a conservative defensive strategy.

Coach Sanders turned his head and looked at the Eagles. Didn't they all return to the bench in a low voice just now?He thought that his strategy had already worked, and it seemed that it had worked just now. Why did his morale suddenly become higher than before?For this first game, he has tried his best to make adjustments!
For the weak side to win the series in the playoffs, the first game is very important. According to statistics, after the team with a good record wins the first win in the series, the probability of advancing is 80.00%.

After the team with a poor record won their first victory, the chance of advancing more than quadrupled, and the probability of advancing increased to 50.00%.

It's just that the odds of a team with a poor record getting their first win are less than a quarter. What Coach Sanders wants to be is 50.00% of that quarter.

The opponent's morale suddenly soared, which surprised Coach Sanders, but he had to work hard!

……

After the official timeout came back, Mourning was replaced. After half a quarter, his physical problems also emerged. Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace partnered on the inside, and Liu Mang led Jason Terry and McGrady on the outside. These two men were more offensive threats.

As for defense, the Pistons have almost changed the general style of play of a team. The coaching staff has no choice for the time being, so they chose the most direct method, try to defend, and give the team the top scorer on the offensive end, just hard steel!
For the Pistons, Coach Sanders never wanted the timeout to end early, but this time he really wanted the timeout to end early and continue to replace the five starters.

The morale of the Pistons is also strong. Ben Wallace, the soul of the team, has offset the pressure of the Eagles at home. Now with five and a half minutes left, they lead by 5 points. Morale is now on the rise.

The Eagles had the ball. McGrady received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt and passed it to Liu Mang. He played singles and defended with all his strength. At this time, he chose to use the rest of his energy on defense and fixed-point three-pointers, and ran to the right sideline to open up space.

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang went to the top arc, and Billups gave a violent body contact, and the Pistons fought hard.

If it was the regular season, this is the home court of the Eagles, and the referee gave the whistle directly for this confrontation, but this is the playoffs, and the referee did not whistle.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball well with his left hand, leaning on Billups with his right shoulder, using the dribbling posture of a left-handed player so that Billups had no chance of stealing.

Kwame Brown saw Liu Mang's posture, and immediately ran out knowingly, blocking Billups on the left side of Liu Mang.

Liu Mang moved away from the body contact with Billups and broke through from the left. Billups frantically squeezed from the right of Kwame Brown, and it was too late for the pick-and-roll!But it's too late to squeeze through!

Fortunately, Ben Wallace, who came out with Kwame Brown, directly chose to block Liu Mang, and together with Billups, he double-teamed Liu Mang one step inside the free throw line.

When Liu Mang and Kwame Brown were picking and rolling, Jason Terry ran out from the left corner and ran around the three-point line to the top arc. After Kwame Brown helped Liu Mang block Billups, he turned around and blocked Hamilton who was chasing Jason Terry. Liu Mang passed the ball when Jason Terry ran to the top arc.

Billups wants to switch to Jason Terry at this time, but there is no way!Squeezing in front of Kwame Brown has exhausted him!
Jason Terry's top arc [-]-pointer...

Ben Wallace turned around and put Liu Mang behind him. Bosh also stopped Rasheed Wallace who rushed in to grab an offensive rebound under the basket. However, the ball thrown by Jason Terry from the top arc was not a shot, but a lob!

Kwame Brown cut in immediately after blocking Hamilton, rushed to the inside and jumped high, catching a dunk and scoring two points.

Bosh, who was guarding the basket and was about to grab a defensive rebound, was hit on the back by Kwame Brown and was knocked out of the baseline again. Thanks to the support of the basket, he did not fall.

Bosh wanted to cry: Why me again?I want revenge!
The small cooperation of the Eagles' trio was completed, 106 to 109, and the point difference caught up to three points.

Pistons attack.

The speed of the Pistons became even slower. Billups pressed the eight-second time violation to advance across the center line. Hamilton was still running tirelessly and ran to the left side of the basket.

Billups immediately passed the ball to Delfino on the left sideline. Delfino made a shot and suddenly heard a voice.

"Shoot quickly!" Liu Mang yelled at Delfino from the top arc.

What is this guy doing?This made Delfino hesitate, partly out of anger, partly out of self-doubt.

"Shoot quickly! What are you doing in a daze!" Liu Mang continued to yell at Delfino.

Delfino hesitated for a moment, Jason Terry had already pounced on him, Delfino was yelled twice by Liu Mang, couldn't help it, he pulled it up and shot.

On the one hand, Jason Terry rushed forward, and more importantly, Delfino's rhythm was destroyed, and the three-point shot hit the basket's neck, which was very biased!

When Delfino jumped up, Liu Mang immediately rushed back to the inside, judged the landing point, and jumped high to grab the defensive rebound.

The Pistons retreated quickly. They have returned to their previous style of play.

After Liu Mang grabbed the defensive rebound, he immediately counterattacked, but failed to make it. He continued to fall into positional battles and continued to pick and roll with Kwame Brown.

This time, Billups and Ben Wallace defended more tactically, and immediately chose to switch defenses. Kwame Brown brought Billups into the paint, and Liu Mang played big, and made a three-pointer after a jump...

Ben Wallace is short, moves quickly, and has excellent defensive awareness. He was not swayed by Liu Mang.

Bosh roared and grabbed the defensive rebound, hold on, no rush!
The defense of the two teams became straightforward and rough. In the next two minutes, neither side scored a point. The action was rough, but the referee's whistle was loose and there were no free throws.

Just when coach Kruger was about to call a timeout again, the crucial goal came!
After Liu Mang received the pass from McGrady at the top arc, he used his head to separate the space from Billups. His head was squeezed by Billups and it hurt a little. Liu Mang didn't care about 21 [-], separated a little space, and directly forced a three-point shot!

"Ding... the king of dry pull is triggered at level 5, the host's dry pull jump shot ignores physical contact and takes off normally..."

Finally, after three consecutive three-point strikes, Liu Mang's top arc three-pointer finally triggered the king of the three-pointer!

With such body contact, he can still jump so high!The bullet speed is still so fast!
It was too late for Billups to jump up. When he raised his forehead, Liu Mang had already thrown the ball...

When it fell, Liu Mang blew a whistle as he watched the ball fly past.

This feeling, as one of the best three-pointers in the league, he knew he must have made it!
"Swish"

Just as Liu Mang expected, the three-point hit was hollow!

109 flats!
After the Eagles came back from a timeout, within 3 minutes, the Eagles played a wave of 5-0, tying the score!

Coach Sanders also wanted to call a timeout, but he held back when he saw Billups decisively asking for the ball to advance. If the timeout was called to dissipate the players' breath, the problem would be bigger than physical fitness!
Now the Pistons, except for the young teenager Bosh, are supported by willpower.

After Liu Mang made a three-pointer, he retreated immediately, waited for Billups to advance, and immediately pressed up.

Billups is stronger than Liu Mang in terms of strength. The main reason is that Billups' static strength is too strong. In this respect, his strength will not decline when his physical fitness declines like most black players. Billups mainly relies on his muscle and body weight strength.

Billups turned his body sideways to avoid Liu Mang's action of reaching for the ball with both hands. Suddenly, he stepped up across the three-point line and threw the ball towards the basket!

If Billups had to shoot, there was nothing he could do. His three-point shot was so loud that it surpassed the sky!
The key is that Billups feels really good today!

This kind of shooting, which even Liu Mang didn't dare to try easily, actually scored again!
112 to 109, the Pistons lead by three points again!

Coach Sanders stood up and yelled "Yes", trusting Billups, he was right!

After Liu Mang broke the deadlock, the Pistons also scored!
"Oh……"

The fans at the scene couldn't help but let out a voice of disappointment. Liu Mang had already defended the ball very well. It was difficult for Billups to break through, and he didn't have a good chance to shoot, but this key man just made it!
It was time for the Eagles to attack again. With 1 minute and 47 seconds left, McGrady advanced to the frontcourt and passed to Liu Mang. At this time, McGrady had already turned into a fish.

After receiving the ball from beyond the three-point line, Liu Mang pretended to pull out, and Billups jumped up like a frightened bird.

Finally a chance!

Liu Mang moved half a step sideways to get rid of Billups and rushed to the free throw line. Bosh immediately blocked him. Liu Mang leaned sideways against Bosh, and when Billups caught up with him, he turned right and bounced back!
Turnaround jumper from the free throw line!

Both Bosh and Billups rushed forward, and Liu Mang slid back in the air for a long time. His body seemed to be leaning against a wall, and he shot a jumper!

"Ding... the turning jump shot is triggered at level 5, and the host's chance of being disturbed by the turning jump shot is greatly reduced."

"Ding... The high-position back-up skill is triggered at level 5, and the host's turning effect during this high-position back-up and mid-range shot will be reduced."

Liu Mang hit a jumper with a turnaround!
Liu Mang and Bosh did not lose the upper hand in the confrontation, the turnaround jumper triggered the turnover jumper master, and the high-position turn and back turn triggered the high-position back-up technique. For the first time, the two skills were combined together!
It's still such a critical time!
Only at this critical moment can a person's potential be stimulated!
51 points!

Liu Mang scored 50+ in the playoffs for the second time in his career!

111比112，还剩1分32秒！只落后1分，还有机会！

When the Pistons attack, Billups has to slow down. Hamilton is singles, and the other two are rookies and the other has no offensive ability. Billups signaled Bosh to play mid-range singles.

Bosh was very excited after receiving the ball, he was going to beat Liu Mang in the playoffs!This is something that none of the five of their brothers have done, and he is going to finish it!
Rasheed Wallace went up to defend Bosh's face-to-face singles. Perhaps Bosh's size and the style of play trained by Coach Sanders were too similar to Garnett. Rasheed Wallace chose to stick to defense.

But although Bosh's desire to attack the basket is not high, it is much higher than Garnett's. Bosh chose to break through!After entering the inside, Bosh throws a shot, and Kwame Brown is a step late when he blocks the block, and Bosh hits a high throw!

114 to 111, the Pistons lead by three points again!

Don't call timeout!Liu Mang waved his hand towards the bench, passed the ball to McGrady, and continued!

Liu Mang received the ball beyond the three-point line and made a move to continue shooting. Billups wanted to defend against the shot and also wanted to defend against the breakthrough. Ben Wallace took a step up the line, trying to defend Liu Mang's breakthrough earlier.

Liu Mang saw a gap and immediately threw the ball to the basket.

Kwame Brown jumped inside and smashed the ball into the basket!
113 to 114, with 57 seconds left!

Ben Wallace wanted to flank Liu Mang in advance, and Kwame Brown got his chance!
The Pistons didn't call a timeout anymore, and both teams left it to the best players to solve the problem.

Billups continued to pass the ball to Bosh. Bosh's belief in defeating Liu Mang was overwhelming. Having already scored 21 points, he faced Rasheed Wallace's defense and made a jumper after catching the ball!
Also hit!

116 to 113, the point difference is still three points!
With 40 seconds left, we can't come one by one.

After Bosh made the shot, Liu Mang immediately asked for the ball from Kwame Brown. After receiving the ball, he immediately advanced towards the frontcourt. Without any cooperation or relying on his teammates, Liu Mang counterattacked directly!
The Pistons held their breath and retreated quickly, with just over 30 seconds left, they wanted to hold on!
Liu Mang quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and none of his teammates could keep up. Now the Eagles lineup is the most physically fit Liu Mang, followed by Kwame Brown. The other three are too tired to play.

Liu Mang didn't care too much, when he got a step outside the top arc, he stopped abruptly!

Billups immediately pounced on him, saying that he would not let Liu Mang make the three-pointer!

But Liu Mang didn't jump immediately after he stopped suddenly, but waited for Billups to jump up, and then Liu Mang slammed into Billups...

"Ding...Pengci master level 5 trigger..."

There is no doubt that this kind of ball must be blown, but Liu Mang's master Pengci made the referee more decisive, a three-point foul!
Billups covered his head in frustration, he cared too much about Liu Mang's three-pointer, he was shot off by Liu Mang!
Of course, if Billups did it again, he would still pounce on him, but if he calmed down, there would be more ways to block Liu Mang, but who could react in a flash at that time...

Liu Mang received the ball from his soaring cannon shot, handed it to the referee, and walked to the free throw line.

"MVP...MVP...MVP..."

The long-lost cry is here again!

Fans shouting "MVP" these days is not as casual as in the future. It has been almost two months since the last time MVP was shouted. When Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, the fans at the scene began to shout MVP in unison!

The Chaoting TV was fine. To maintain the stability of the national TV station, there was no incarnation of Huang Jianxiang, but Mike Brin, the gold medal commentator of ESPN, was even more excited than the Chinese: "See! This is the MVP! It's not the kind of guy who relies on passing tricks to compare!"

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, patted his chest after receiving the ball, adjusted his breathing, hummed a song to adjust his rhythm, and then threw the ball amidst the referee's urging and the more and more "MVP" shouts on the scene.

First free throw!
The last two free throws were fast, and all three consecutive free throws were hit!
116 levels!36 seconds left!
It only took 4 seconds for Liu Mang to fight back and draw a foul!

Coach Sanders still didn't call a timeout!When Liu Mang made the free throw just now, he had already talked to Billups.

Let Billups go for it!
The Pistons attacked, and Billups pressed the time to advance to the frontcourt, and began to waste time. With 8 seconds left in the attack time, Billups felt that his physical strength had recovered a bit, and he chose to make a strong breakthrough.
Billups scored 5 points after the official timeout. Liu Mang has defended well. Even if Prince came, he couldn't do better, but Billups scored!

The ability of the key killer is fully displayed!

The Pistons scored 9 points in a row!Withstood the 12-point scoring impact of the Eagles' official timeout, and still led by two points! 118 to 116 lead!

Liu Mang rushed into the basket after Billups made the shot. The ball fell from the basket. Liu Mang immediately picked up the ball and played it to Kwame Brown and pushed Kwame Brown out of the baseline.
At this time, it is not called a timeout!The Pistons players were all scared, thanks to their active defense. Larry Brown's belief in defense first was very helpful to them. Liu Mang rushed to the opponent's top arc. Billups calmed down a lot this time and did not jump up immediately.

But Liu Mang took off!Facing Billups' defense, he took off and shot directly!
This time the luck was not so good, the skill was not triggered, the sense of rhythm was lacking, and Billups' defensive judgment was accurate. It can be said that Liu Mang's dry pull was completely locked, and Liu Mang was not even high enough to take off!

Billups took off a beat later and also disturbed Liu Mang!

Liu Mang forcibly leaned back in the air and threw the ball. After the ball was thrown, the whole person fell to the floor with his back facing backward...

Guarded?Billups turned his head and saw that the ball with a very high arc fell to the backboard and fell into the basket!

Billups didn't even have any cursing words in his heart, this goal...scored!
Liu Mang's quasi-lore!

57 points in a single game!
刘莽拿到了57分！关键时刻一个中投、一个造三分犯规、一个强行的追身三分，连得8分！而且投进了准绝杀！还剩11秒，老鹰队119比118反超一分！
Coach Sanders had to call a timeout this time. With their style of play, it was too difficult to play the whole game in 11 seconds.

During the timeout, coach Saunders of the Pistons was arranging offensive tactics. It is impossible for the Pistons players to give up at this time. They led the whole quarter, and now they are only behind by 1 point. They want to win.

The Eagles made a substitution. At this time, Jason Terry and Tracy McGrady were no longer needed to open up space. They replaced Iguodala with Prince, Josh Smith, Kwame Brown and Liu Mang.

Defense!Coach Kruger emphasizes defense, no fouls, no allowing the opponent to enter the interior to score...

Calling a timeout was not enough. Coach Sanders called two timeouts in a row. There were no timeouts before, but they were used this time.

……

After the timeout, the Eagles replaced a group of men with good physical fitness to defend, while the Pistons continued to smash the main force.

For the Pistons' frontcourt, Coach Saunders has already arranged the tactics. The Pistons players hold back their energy and start to actively cut and run. They are supporting their willpower after using their physical fitness to the limit.

The Eagles defended the serve very strictly, and finally Billups ran out of position, and Delfino, who was serving, quickly sent it...

Was stabbed by Josh Smith, who ejected out like a leopard to switch defenses!
Liu Mang jumped out to pick up the ball and steal it!

Coach Sanders called two timeouts in a row to let the players relax, and also arranged a quick running tactic after receiving the ball, but it didn't work out at all!
After grabbing the ball, Liu Mang didn't wait for the opponent's foul, and immediately rushed across the center line. Liu Mang wanted to quickly counterattack for a three-pointer and score 60 points, but seeing Delfino chasing him, he chose to rush to the basket and dunk to widen the point difference to 3 points and not lose.

Liu Mang rushed one step within the distance of the free throw line, took off, grabbed the ball with both hands and smashed it towards the basket...Suddenly, Liu Mang, who was in the air, was pushed hard from behind. Fortunately, Liu Mang had already taken off completely, and his waist and abdomen were strong.
"I x you x..." Liu Mang swung on the basket and landed, and immediately yelled out a national curse, which was heard by people all over the country...

Hurrying to silence the noise on the court platform was another matter. After landing, Liu Mang rushed towards Delfino.

When Delfino rushed forward to push Liu Mang, the referee knew that something was serious, and immediately rushed towards the two of them, blocking Liu Mang.

The players of both teams didn't react, Delfino's action was too scary!Even if the Pistons don't play cleanly, no one else will make such a move. This is going to ruin a person's career!

After Liu Mang cursed, he rushed forward and was hugged by the referee. His characteristic "cold blood" made him calm down after the most angry moment, and continued to stare at Delfino, making a gesture of wanting to hit someone.

The referee immediately blew his whistle. There was no need to watch the replay of this action. It was a 100% malicious foul.

The grade of flagrant foul was not determined, but the referee expelled Delfino!
The referee whistled decisively and appeased the other players of the two teams who were about to mess up, mainly the Eagles.

After Liu Mang got the whistle for a malicious foul, he stared at Delfino as he walked into the player tunnel under the protection of his teammates, then turned and walked to the free throw line.

If the dunk goal is valid, then the malicious foul is not two free throws and one throw but one free throw plus the right to the ball!

At 59 points, Liu Mang had given up hope for 60 points, but he didn't expect to get a free throw and the ball!

Is it...seeking wealth in danger?It seems a bit wrong... There is a feeling... Do I want to thank Delfino for his "assist"?I really want to kill him!It was almost knocked to the ground!After Liu Mang calmed down, he started thinking wildly again...

When Delfino fouled maliciously just now, the fans at the scene were about to explode, spraying wildly at Delfino, fortunately Liu Mang was not injured, otherwise God knows if there will be an incident at Phillips Arena.

Now that Liu Mang is fine and got a free throw, the fans suddenly thought of something...

Liu Mang had already scored 57 points before the dunk. If he made a dunk, he would score 59 points. If he made one free throw for a malicious foul...

The voice of MVP on the scene sounded again!

Liu Mang's hands were shaking, this might be a once in a lifetime opportunity!If you miss it, there will be no next time!

Liu Mang adjusted for a while, and the referee did not come to get in the way. Since it was a malicious free throw, there was no one on either side of the three-second zone. Liu Mang closed his eyes and took a deep breath for two seconds. He felt the "MVP" voice of the fans at the scene, and felt that he and the fans were the only one left on the field. After opening his eyes, Liu Mang bent his knees, straightened up, and shot the free throw...

hit!

When the mentality is stable, free throws are stable!

The third player in NBA history to score 60 points in the playoffs!

122 to 118, 4 points difference, 4 seconds left, the Pistons did not foul. After the ball was sent out, Iguodala caught the ball from the center line and rushed to the center circle. The ultra-long three-point rebound did not touch the rebound. The whistle for the end of the game had sounded after the ball was thrown, and the game was over!

Relying on Liu Mang's 60 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, the Eagles, relying on Liu Mang's 2 points in the last 11 minutes, reversed the Pistons and won their first victory!

The moment the whistle sounded for the end of the game, the fans cheered like crazy, and the Eagles players rushed towards Liu Mang, and the whole audience was celebrating...

The Pistons players were already desperate from the moment Liu Mang dunked and Delfino made a malicious foul. Billups sat on the sidelines, covered his head with a towel, shrugged his shoulders, and started sobbing...

Bosh looked at Liu Mang who was surrounded by the media and his teammates. Seeing Liu Mang's expression of "it's that simple" written all over his face after scoring 60 points, Bosh was excited for a quarter of the game. He scored 4 points in a row at the critical moment, but still failed to win. The blow was too great!
Ben Wallace went straight to the tunnel when he sent the ball.

The Pistons have tried their best and used all their tactics, just to show confidence in the start. Coach Sanders also tried his best to make tactical adjustments. They all took the lead with 10 seconds left, but they still failed in the end.

The Pistons have accumulated confidence for a season and prepared sufficient tactics. The final result is that everyone feels that the general trend is over, even after the first game.

The loneliness of the Pistons players makes people feel distressed, but at this time, no one cares about how hard they work, no one cares about how well they played in the first game, and they themselves will not say that they have tried their best. They are losers. No matter how much they have won before, losers will always be losers in the end...

　It's still a larger chapter, and it doesn't feel like a running account. .A chapter of [-] words... I don't know what to write...
