Chapter 902 901. Give me the ball and take you home!
Liu Mang didn't think there would be such a difficulty in this game, so he suddenly went up and played for 2 minutes in the fourth quarter, completely unprepared.
Because what was going to be played was completely different from what the coaching staff had planned and what the players thought 1 minute before, so the Eagles didn't score a point after going up, but let the opponent get another 3 points.
And this kind of thing, as the Eagles players in the game, most of them would not think of it here. Liu Mang could think of it because he relied on his cold-blooded characteristics and did not panic.
This is different from when he was playing against the Spurs. At that time, McGrady was only unwilling to lose two consecutive games to the strong teams in the Western Conference, so he held back his energy.
But this time the Eagles are the team that has always been leading. Even in the first quarter, they are evenly matched. McGrady feels that the "retribution" for beating the Spurs is coming, and he is a little confused.
Therefore, the last time it was McGrady who gave Liu Mang an air of confidence by relying on unwillingness, this time it was Liu Mang who came to boost McGrady's fighting spirit when encountering such a situation.
When McGrady heard Liu Mang's confident words, a wave of hope ignited in his heart.
Seeing that McGrady opened his eyes a little bit, Liu Mang continued: "We still lead by 4 points, don't think so much, go up, you go up to defend, and I will score the score! Take you back to the hotel to celebrate the victory!"
After Liu Mang said these words, the power of the head of state naturally infected his teammates.
Coach Kruger saw that Liu Mang had finally dispelled the team's low pressure, and immediately began to make tactical changes... If you don't play tactics, you will smash the stars!
What kind of tactics should we play at this time, the opponent's momentum has already risen, and now the physical fitness is likely to come back, and the defensive rotation will not be weakened with only a few minutes left, and from the inside scoring to the outside, the pressure on Yao Ming is also much less, and he only needs to be responsible for the defense at the basket.
"Ace, Tracy, Andre, Rasheed, Kwame, you guys, Ace and Tracy, whichever one of you has the chance, shoot the damn ball!" Coach Kruger came up with a simple and rude arrangement.
Iguodala was replaced because the Rockets did not have the kind of singles-type three-pointer on the outside, but a pick-and-roll shooter and catch-and-shoot shooter. Iguodala, who has better physical fitness and faster movement, is more suitable for defense, and Prince is more suitable for singles defense. The division of labor is just different.
Rasheed Wallace called Liu Mang, McGrady, Iguodala, and Kwame Brown together, yelled "defense" in a circle, and then went on the court together!
……
On the Rockets side, morale was overwhelming. David Wesley, Mike James, Richard Jefferson, Juwan Howard, and Yao Ming continued to play, preparing to even out the 4-point difference in the last 4 minutes and even overtake them to win the game!
Liu Mang received the ball thrown by the referee and sent it to McGrady, then ran towards the frontcourt.
When Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, he saw David Wesley coming up to defend him. He still used the defensive method of sticking to the outside line and flanking when he entered the interior. Liu Mang quickly rushed to the top arc and cut in. Sure enough, Mike James, who was brought to the right corner by Iguodala, had a tendency to come up and flank him. It was still the defensive strategy of flanking Liu Mang and releasing role players.
Liu Mang withdrew abruptly, exited the three-point line, and ran over at a 45-degree angle to the left. At the same time, Rasheed Wallace from the left corner cut in and took away the defense on the left side of the basket.
David Wesley hurried to catch up with Liu Mang, but was blocked. Kwame Brown pulled out to help Liu Mang get inside, but seeing Liu Mang backed out and ran to the left, he took a tacit step to block David Wesley.
The Rockets' three defensive masters have nothing to say about the awareness of switching defenses. David Wesley immediately switched to McGrady, and Richard Jefferson chased after Liu Mang.
McGrady sent the ball out immediately, and Liu Mang just received the ball when he ran to the left at a 45-degree angle.
Take care of him, just do it!
Liu Mang received the ball and turned to face the basket, took off and shot a three-pointer!
Richard Jefferson rushed forward to interfere, Liu Mang was forced to fall back...
"Ding... The King of Ganba triggers at level 5, and the host ignores shooting interference for this shot."
"Ding... Quick shot master level 5 is triggered, the host's running, catching and shooting ignores running interference, and the shooting speed is accelerated by 30.00%."
Liu Mang's movement deviation caused by taking off and leaning back was corrected, and he made a quick three-point shot!
When Richard Jefferson pounced, Liu Mang had already made the shot!
A firm shot brings more stable and correct shots, and Liu Mang's three-point shot is hollow!
Richard Jefferson felt that Liu Mang's shot was a little different. I can't say what is different, but it is different!
That little bit of shooting speed sped up, [-] second and [-] seconds faster, it didn't look different, but the defender would feel that it was not good, and the defensive action that he was used to before was actually a beat slower, but he didn't feel it was a beat slower.
After Liu Mang hit a three-pointer, his personal score reached 30 points, and at the same time expanded the point difference to 7 points again. The Eagles led 96 to 89.
The Eagles scored 3 points when they came up, and it was the kind of forced three-pointer. The Rockets suddenly felt a little uneasy.
This kind of ball thrown purely by strength is too damaging to the morale of the opponent, especially when the opponent is relying on defense.
Yao Ming saw that Liu Mang had one, and planned to have one himself.
The Rockets attacked, and Yao Ming went to the low post to ask for the ball. He had just rested for a while and didn't play singles. He recovered a little energy and pressed Kwame Brown to ask for the ball. Rasheed Wallace went directly to double-team Yao Ming and did not give Yao Ming a chance to catch the ball.
David Wesley passed the ball to Juwan Howard, and Juwan Howard adjusted the mid-range shot after receiving the ball...Suddenly a small man appeared in front of him, it was Liu Mang!
Liu Mang rushed over to defend Juwan Howard, and Juwan Howard wanted to pass back to David Wesley at the top arc, but Rasheed Wallace appeared at this time on the passing route between Juwan Howard and David Wesley.
Juwan-Howard was still very calm-minded. He turned around and pressed Liu Mang with his height and weight. Liu Mang tried his best to resist but he couldn't stop him.
After Liu Mang was squeezed away, he tried his best to interfere and put pressure on Juwan Howard, and then, it succeeded!
When Juwan Howard shot, in order to avoid Liu Mang's bouncing block, he turned his body sideways, and the mid-range shot was iron!
Kwame Brown tried his best to get stuck with Yao Ming. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Yao Ming didn't get entangled with Kwame Brown and turned back to defend. Juwan Howard's shot was short and bounced off the left side of the basket. Liu Mang flew forward to grab the ball.
Immediately passed to McGrady, the Rockets retreated very actively, and the Eagles could only fall into positional warfare.
Liu Mang felt the shot, and after halftime, he directly gestured to McGrady, asking them to cooperate.
McGrady received instructions and dribbled the ball to the top arc. Liu Mang came to the left side of McGrady and made a pick-and-roll posture to help McGrady block Richard Jefferson. Richard Jefferson and David Wesley were about to switch defenses.
However, at this moment, Liu Mang stopped the pick-and-roll, and McGrady handed the ball to Liu Mang, and turned around to help Liu Mang block Richard Jefferson who was on the way to change defenses!
The pick-and-roll cooperation this time is not Liu Reck's pick-and-roll for McGrady, but McGrady's pick-and-roll for Liu Reck!
Liu Mang received the ball without hesitation. While David Wesley and Richard Jefferson were switching defenses, McGrady blocked Richard Jefferson. David Wesley was still in the "pick and roll". Liu Mang pulled up directly and shot a three-pointer!
This ball has no rhythm at all, and it is not really open. Even when exerting force, it is not easy to combine all the key force points used in shooting, such as legs, waist, back, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
But Liu Mang, who felt that it was coming, threw the ball very squarely!
"Ding... the pick-and-roll master triggers at level 5, the host's speed +8, power +8 within two seconds..."
The body that couldn't fully exert its strength originally, relying on the strengthened strength, just reached the strength that a jumper should have!
Liu Mang catches the ball and hits a three-pointer again!
Six points in a row!
Liu Mang's score increased to 33 points, helping the Eagles widen the point difference to 10 points, leading 99 to 89!
The Rockets called a timeout!
They played a wave of 1 points in 9 minute before. In fact, if they really made a goal, they also made two three-pointers in 1 minute. It was just that Korver fouled Richard Jefferson in the 60th second.
Now the Eagles called a timeout, and Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row, also two three-pointers in one minute!
And it's not a tactical run to catch and shoot. Both goals were scored by personal ability, and they also helped McGrady get two assists!
This is an assist generator!
It's too demoralizing!
The morale of the Rockets just relying on a 3-12 game in 3 minutes, was a bit shattered by Liu Mang's two three-pointers!
After the Rockets called a timeout, Liu Mang pointed his gun finger at Yao Ming's right hand, like a sharpshooter taking care of his weapon, dusting off the "dust" with his left hand for his right hand.
Yao Ming went back to the bench with a sullen head and drank Gatorade. I heard that Liu Mang loved Gatorade very much. Every time he came to their home court, he would drink a stack of cups. He took a big sip and looked at the Gatorade cup. Could drinking this stuff improve his shooting percentage?
……
The morale of the Eagles has picked up, and it is time for the Rockets to really desperately.
In the last 3 minutes, we must fight!
After returning from the timeout, neither team made any substitutions.
The Eagles' defense and Liu Mang's strong shots have stretched the advantage to 10 points. Coach Kruger didn't feel like the lineup would be interrupted by substitutions.
The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming couldn't catch the ball in the low post, so he came directly to the middle distance, David Wesley passed it immediately, Yao Ming directly faced Kwame Brown's defense, and shot a fallback jumper!
Yao Ming, who feels like shooting, hits again in the mid-range shot!
单节7中7单节拿到14分！个人得分提升到32分，距离刘莽只差1分！
Offensive and defensive transition, the Eagles attack.
After Liu Mang sent the ball to McGrady, he came to the frontcourt. Just as he was about to do the same to McGrady for the pick-and-roll, Richard Jefferson and David Wesley directly came up to double-team Liu Mang without the ball.
McGrady was dumbfounded: I was the scoring leader the year before last, and I was second in scoring last year. How could I get a 1v0 chance?
McGrady was dumbfounded, and Mike James rushed towards him. McGrady thought it was right. After all, he was also a scoring champion. He immediately passed it to Iguodala, and Iguodala made a three-pointer from the right sideline...
Missed.
Seeing Yao Ming grabbing the defensive rebound and holding the ball, Liu Mang was furious: "Tracy, you shoot!"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm not used to being defended..." McGrady smiled awkwardly and hurried back to defend, he knew that the ball was his problem.
Liu Mang felt a group of crows flying over his head, not used to it?
Oh Nida!
Liu Mang quickly got back on defense, the Rockets pushed forward, and Yao Ming continued to catch the ball at a high position.
With Yao Ming's height, he has a sense of shooting, and no one can prevent him from the catch station!Iguodala rushed to try to block from the side.
Yao Ming has a good sense of passing the ball, mainly because he is tall and has good vision. He immediately gave it to Mike James who cut in. Mike James flew to the basket and scored two points.
The center has a high position to support, and the space under the basket is very good.
Anti-counterattack teams cannot defend the full-court press. The Rockets know it well, so there is still 1 minute and 58 seconds left, and they still don't keep the full-court press. Liu Mang wanted to pick up the ball and was stopped by McGrady.
"You hold the ball, I'll cut in." McGrady picked up the ball and passed it to Liu Mang, before running towards the frontcourt.
Liu Mang knew it. When he was outside the three-point line, he saw Richard Jefferson and David Wesley double-teaming. McGrady immediately cut in. Liu Mang threw the ball inside. Richard Jefferson and David Wesley subconsciously rushed towards McGrady.
Tactically, guard the one of the two who is going to shoot, force them to pass the ball to the role player, McGrady cuts to the basket, and they immediately block it.
However, Liu Mang was still playing the old trick, holding the ball tightly in his hand, taking it back, jumping on the spot, and shooting a three-pointer!
"Ding... the sharpshooter triggers at level 5, and the shooting feels perfect..."
This time the shooting opportunity was perfect, the rhythm was perfect, the take-off was perfect... all aspects were perfect, just like training, Liu Mang made a three-pointer, the ball fell directly into the circle, without even touching the basket.
Return!
Liu Mang scored three three-pointers in a row!It's hot to the touch!
With 1 minute and 46 seconds left, the Eagles once again opened the point difference to 9 points!
Liu Mang scored 9 points in a row, and his personal score reached 36 points. The Eagles led 102 to 93!
The last timeout on the Rockets' side has been called, and there is no timeout.
David Wesley pushed forward and couldn't control that much anymore. Mickey Mouse Wesley wanted to come by himself, facing Liu Mang's defense, and forced a three-point shot...
Really entered!
96 to 102, the point difference came to 6 points again.
But Liu Mang didn't give them a chance anymore. After advancing to the frontcourt, when he saw the two opponents attacking, he didn't use McGrady to fake the opponent, just grabbed the ball and bent his knees...
David Wesley and Richard Jefferson jumped up at the same time, and then their eyes widened in the air. Liu Mang bent his legs, as if he was zipping!
Liu Mang is going to touch porcelain!Holding the ball, it hit the two of them...
"Ding... Master Pengci is triggered at level 5. The referee will choose to blow the whistle when the host makes a foul because the host continues to complain that Yao Ming didn't blow the foul."
"Beep..."
The referee blows the whistle and the thug fouls.
At the critical moment, Liu Mang's Pingci style of play reappeared!
The referee saw that Liu Mang was finally relying on his "strength" to make a foul instead of relying on his words, so he gave the whistle decisively, and the ball was indeed a foul. It's just that the change of person these days sometimes really doesn't know how to blow it, so Liu Mang can be so hard that he can score three points purely by strength, and at the same time be so wretched that he can touch porcelain.
To David Wesley and Richard Jefferson's chagrin, they forgot about the guy's ability to draw fouls.
Liu Mang walked to the free throw line amid the annoyed expressions of David Wesley and Richard Jefferson, made three free throws steadily, and scored 3 points in a single game!
105 to 96, the point difference is still 9 points!
With 1 minute left, the Eagles led by 9 points. The Rockets rushed over and relied on Richard Jefferson to hit the basket and caused a foul by Rasheed Wallace, who got two free throws and made two free throws.
Richard Jefferson also scored 30 points, with 57 seconds left, 98 to 105, 7 points difference, theoretically there is still a chance.
So the Rockets chose a tactical foul. Liu Mang was hugged as soon as he received the ball.
Liu Mang walked to the free throw line and made two free throws.
It was time for free throws. When Liu Mang made free throws, Kruger replaced Iguodala and Kwame Brown with Jason Terry and Korver. Jason Terry and Korver came up for free throws.
107 to 98, the point difference is still stable at 9 points.
55 points difference in 9 seconds, with the 37-second tragedy of the Spurs not long ago, people have a magical feeling, it seems that there is still enough time!
But the Rockets don't have McGrady, McGrady is on the opposite side!
The Rockets threw a long pass from the frontcourt and threw a three-pointer. Richard Jefferson caught the ball, but at this critical moment, his three-pointer was solid!
McGrady rushed back and just grabbed a defensive rebound, he was hugged by Richard Jefferson, and McGrady walked to the free throw line.
The hell with two free throws!
Liu Mang said to McGrady: "It turns out that you are the worst free throw from the outside of our team."
Maddie thought about it, yes!He never seems to hit 8% of his free throws, and he's not shooting as high as the big man on the other side.
Immediately afterwards, the Rockets' fast break missed another strong shot. They were too unsuitable for this kind of fast three-pointer, and David Wesley didn't make a three-pointer.
The Rockets didn't foul anymore, 33 seconds later, 9 points, and the Maimang combination didn't work either!
With more than a minute left in the fourth quarter, the Rockets scored 33 points in a single quarter, but the Hawks also scored 27 points. The Rockets scored 6 points more than the Hawks in the final quarter, but although they restrained the Hawks in their style of play, their substitute lineup was too miserable.
The reason why the Rockets play everyone is [-]-[-], relying on the main force to play an advantage, squandering the advantage in the second quarter, the main force came up to fight the opponent at the end of the second quarter, and the substitute began to dig holes in the third quarter.
But in this game against the Eagles, the Rockets failed to have an advantage at the beginning. The Rockets' rotation lineup dug holes directly from the second quarter. In the end, even though the Rockets scored 33 points in the final quarter, they were still behind by 9 points.
McGrady received the ball, and the opponent did not foul. He was relieved. Liu Mang and Terry had no chance to catch the ball, and the opponent left him alone. He thought the opponent was about to foul.
The Rockets stopped fouling, and they still had to fight back. Another chasing three-pointer missed, and they shot directly to the baseline.
The Eagles led by 12 points with 9 seconds left, and the Eagles stopped attacking. After sending the ball to Jason Terry, Jason Terry took control of the ball and was about to run out, but Mike James was still fighting.
Jason Terry went up and pushed Mike James: "What do you mean, boy?"
Mike James was upset about the loss and immediately responded with a push.
Seeing that their faces were stuck together, players from the two teams rushed to separate them. Yao Ming stopped in front of Mike James. Jason Terry was not afraid of Yao Ming.
The game was about to end, but there was no real fight. The referee didn't call a technical foul with tears in his heart. Instead, he quickly let the Eagles serve, used up the last two seconds, and quickly blew the whistle for the end of the game.
The Rockets and the Eagles clashed again. The TV station in the United States thought it was normal, but the Imperial TV station had to explain it!
Explaining and explaining, Director Zhang began to change the topic, talking about the Rockets, and analyzed the data of the Rockets that the director gave to the fans.
The Rockets' starters David Wesley, Richard Jefferson, and Yao Ming have a perfect structure. They are short of an organization that can pass the ball. They can also rely on defense to play the top five net points among the league's starters, but their average points per game as a substitute is the third-worst in the league.
In this game, the fans thoroughly understood the Rockets' lineup structure in this high-profile game-a team that relies solely on the main force to win.
Yao Ming average of 22.5 points, Richard Jefferson average of 23 points, Sura average 10.6 points, David Wesley average 13 points, Zhuwan Howard averaged 9.2 points. 78.6 points, eight miles in the front of the east and west, the Rockets scored averaging the countdown to the penultimate ...
The Rockets always like to pick up cheap and sign veterans who have played well in the past year, or poach contract-year stars from other teams that are unwilling to pay the luxury tax, but they don't have Popovich's vision.
The Spurs save money to save money, but people save money because they really spend the saved money on the blade. This is the gap between the perennial championship-level strong team and the lucky team that got Olajuwon to win two championships.
Although there were some small conflicts in the game, and there were some thrills, the Eagles finally defeated the Rockets 107 to 100 without any risk, and won the No.
刘莽26投13中，其中三分球12中7，罚球9中8，拿到41分4板8助攻，麦迪拿到17分7板8助攻，贾森-特里拿到24分4助攻，夸梅-布朗凄凄惨惨戚戚，拿到11分8篮板。
The best performer on the Rockets side was Yao Ming, with 33 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks; Richard Jefferson scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and David Wesley scored 21 points and 6 assists.
After the game, Jason - Terry ready to leave unhappy.
But before he had time to leave, he was stopped by Yao Ming, not only him, almost all Eagles players were called, and they walked into the Rockets player tunnel together.
Before he could go back to the locker room to take a shower, a group of Eagles "disappeared" in the Toyota Center. The media came to interview Liu Mang, who scored 5 points on 3-of-3 shooting in the last 14 minutes, and found that Liu Mang was gone. Coach Kruger found that his players were all gone!
Jason Terry was a bit annoyed, but he was trying to save face, thinking that Yao Ming wanted him to go to Mike James, and Mike James wanted to apologize. Unexpectedly, they came to the parking lot of the fans across the Toyota Center...
The Eagles players saw this place, and the Rockets players were all there. Is this an offer?It seems to be moving something, fighting with props?
