Chapter 1033 1032. The Real Fun of Passing
Back from the intermission, the game is about to restart, and the players who started the second half of the two teams will play.
For the Warriors, the dual point guard combination of Fisher and Baron Davis continued to appear. Fisher was very accurate in three-pointers and made two three-pointers in the first half. In the last six years, except for the year when he played as a substitute for Payton, Fisher’s three-point shooting percentage was above 30.00%.
Jason - Richardson continued to play small forward, Murphy and Andres - Biedrins partner inside.
For the Hawks, the lineup of Liu Mang, McGrady, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace played.
Liu Mang followed Jason Richardson.
How can it be done like Stockton said?
There was an intermission, but Liu Mang didn't think about it.
If it was so easy to think about, there would not be so few masters in organizing offenses.
When the team staff came to inform the players that the second half of the game was about to start, Liu Wei still didn't understand.
Just don't think about it so much, anyway, 10 assists in the half, Liu Mang's assists in double figures for the second time this season, it's a good start.
Defend first, and it's important to chase points first if you defend.
Baron Davis advanced halfway, and McGrady's defense became more active and oppressive. Since Baron Davis passed halftime, he has been pressing up to defend.
Baron Davis immediately began to accelerate, and rushed to the three-point line next to McGrady.
Baron Davis' breakthrough was difficult to stop. McGrady squeezed to the right of the free throw line against Baron Davis and was still freed, but at this time Josh Smith quickly helped defend in place.
Baron Davis immediately gave the ball to Murphy who was pulled to the bottom corner. When Murphy received the ball, Iguodala had let go of Fisher to defend Murphy.
Murphy quickly transferred the ball to Fisher, and McGrady stopped chasing Baron Davis and blocked Fisher!
Super fast defensive rotation!
The Warriors moved the ball in a large range this time, but they failed to tear apart the Eagles' defense!
Seeing that there were only 7 seconds left, Fisher had no chance to shoot in the face of McGrady's height and wingspan, so he chose to break through.
When Fisher was young, breakthroughs were quite threatening, but at this time Fisher no longer had that ability, and was stuck tightly by McGrady.
Fisher rushed to the right side of the three-second zone, forcibly leaned against McGrady with his thick arms, and threw a shot from a little distance...
"Snapped"
McGrady jumped up violently and gave Fisher a big hat from the front!
Both Iguodala and Murphy rushed up from the bottom corner. Iguodala grabbed the ball first and immediately passed it to Liu Mang who was one step inside the top arc. After Iguodala passed the ball, he immediately ran towards the frontcourt.
McGrady and Josh Smith also rushed forward quickly, and Rasheed Wallace followed closely behind Liu Mang who quickly advanced after receiving the ball.
The Eagles players are actively looking for scoring opportunities for themselves, so that Liu Mang can pass the ball to them.
The Warriors players are also actively blocking Liu Mang's pass. The Warriors lineup is very fast. Five players retreat to defend against four players who are looking for opportunities. The defense is still very good.
However, they only focused on blocking the four catch-and-shoot opponents and forgot about Liu Mang!
Liu Mang went straight into the basket from the middle, took off from the free throw line, and easily dunked an empty basket!
In the first half, he just focused on passing the ball. Liu Mang now realizes that as long as he counterattacks and runs, he is full of opportunities everywhere!Whether it's chasing a three-pointer or rushing to the basket.
9 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds, just 1 point away from a double-double.
After Liu Mang successfully dunked, he retreated quickly, and the rest of the Eagles also immediately retreated.
Coach Kruger felt a lot more comfortable seeing Liu Mang starting to score. He changed into this lineup just to match Liu Mang's speed and the opponent's fast pace.
47 to 49, the point difference is still two points.
The Warriors were scored, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Their defense was already poor, and they were lucky to be able to defend the Eagles to 45 points in the half.
Baron Davis advanced to the frontcourt, and a pass after the breakthrough still couldn't tear apart the Eagles' defense.
The mobility of this lineup of the Eagles is too good!Switching too fast!
Coach Kruger put all the five players who did the best defense in the first half. They could run and defend, locked the Warriors in a wide range of ball transfers, and fell behind at halftime. The reason is that the Eagles players didn't want to find it. If the root cause is found, where is the boss's face?
The ball finally reached Jason Richardson, who was marked by Liu Mang.
Jason Richardson's attack with the ball is getting worse and worse. He has the ability to break through, but he uses it less and less. The low-post ability he used to have has disappeared as the team's style of play has become faster and faster.
Jason Richardson tried to break through, but was blocked by Liu Mang's speed and confrontation. Jason Richardson found that he could not use his body to squeeze Liu Mang to get the shooting space like in previous years!
There was no other way, with 3 seconds left, Jason Richardson made a two-pointer against Liu Mang's defensive leader...
Iron again!
McGrady grabbed the rebound and immediately threw it to Liu Mang. He continued to run toward the frontcourt without the ball and counterattacked!
Liu Mang wanted to try to pass the ball, and his teammates were very supportive. Although there was a problem in the first half, they still supported it. The other four players of the Eagles were very active in running positions to find opportunities to catch and shoot for themselves.
Liu Mang quickly advances through the half court, and after reaching the top arc, he sees that there is still no one defending the top arc except for someone with help from the middle distance to block him from breaking through the dunk!
This……
Liu Mang's chasing three-pointer shot!
In the first half, Liu Mang actually felt pretty good. He made 7 of [-] three-pointers, but he made fewer shots, less offensive threat, and no free throws, so he only scored [-] points.
After the third quarter, Liu Mang made his first three-pointer!
50 to 49, the Eagles only played 1 minute in the third quarter, and they overtook the score!
Liu Mang has not felt such a feeling for a long time, holding the ball and wide open.
Although he failed in the first half, it also allowed Liu Mang to find some fun in the matter of increasing the pass.
If there are too many passes, the opponent does not dare to be so strict in double-teaming, and even because his teammates score more points, he will have more shooting opportunities!
Liu Mang still needs to learn how to organize the offense, but he has found the fun. It is much more fun than the simple and boring pass in the first half!
Liu Mang scored 5 points in a row, 12 points and 10 assists. The third quarter just started, and he got a double-double!
Both Baron Davis and Fisher noticed that Liu Mang's style of play had changed. It seemed that he was not only keen on passing the ball, but also started shooting!
The 4-point lead that they worked hard for half the game was gone in an instant!
Now that Liu Mang has returned to normal, he can only attack. Baron Davis knows that Liu Mang can't keep his head in the water.
The Warriors strengthened their offensive decisiveness. Baron Davis came to the frontcourt and made a three-pointer with a quick stop outside the three-point line!
Clean and neat, although the shooting rate is not good, but Baron Davis can make one or two three-pointers every game, and they are all such singles strong shots. McGrady got shot this time.
McGrady is also helpless, the opponent's three-point shooting rate is only 30.00%, this time he chose to take a step to defend against breakthroughs, and the opponent directly shot.
But right away, after Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, facing Fisher's single defense, he rushed to the right side of the free throw line for a one-on-one high-post singles, leaning sideways on Fisher's turn and hit a jumper!
7 points in a row!
The score became 52 tie!
Baron Davis is also the kind of player who makes a shot and wants to try another one for the second time. This time McGrady is very tight. Baron Davis still wants to rely on his touch to gain the lead again, facing McGrady's defensive three-point shot again...
The characteristic of Baron Davis is...he dared to make three-pointers last time, and he dared not to touch three-pointers next time!
Liu Mang was following Jason Richardson around the bottom line when he suddenly saw a round object hitting his head, and subconsciously caught it with both hands.
Lie down and receive a rebound!
Baron Davis doesn't touch three-pointers!
The Eagles will fight back immediately!
Liu Mang quickly advanced through the half court. This time, the Warriors did not dare to let Liu Mang go. Fisher retreated to the center line and tried to block Liu Mang from the center line. Liu Mang changed direction while advancing at high speed, destroying his knees and pulling horizontally while advancing at high speed, and continued to sprint at high speed.
Baron Davis blocked the three-point line immediately, and Liu Mang immediately transferred the ball.
Iguodala received the ball in the middle distance on the left. Iguodala, who was running, did not dribble after receiving the ball. After receiving the ball, he took two steps and followed McGrady to the basket.
The referee's whistle was in his mouth, and he wanted to blow away the move, but thought that this seemed to be a new rule, so he didn't blow it.
The whistle almost sounded because the referee hadn't seen anyone else use this trick except that James had used it, so he didn't react for a while.
Iguodala, who has a good relationship with the little emperor James, was the first to learn this trick in the fast break!Usually dribble breakthrough is not needed, but fast break does not need dribble, and Iguodala jumps one more step, making fast break more difficult to defend!
This is what David Stern wanted to encourage offense, but he didn't expect that half a month after the rules were announced, almost no one used them, and some people used them just by accident. The referee didn't blow it.
54 to 52, the Eagles immediately took the initiative after the start of the second half.
And to Liu Mang's surprise, the ball actually counted as an assist!
Iguodala didn't dribble, and it was regarded as a three-step layup after catching the ball, which was a coherent action!
14 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds!
The fans at the scene began to cheer again. The Eagles were almost silent at home in the first half. Now that Liu Mang scored 7 points and 1 assist in more than two minutes, the team also overtook the score, and finally had enthusiasm again.
Playing against a team with average defense like the Warriors, Liu Mang should do whatever he wants like now!10 assists in the first half is very good, but the fans can't stand it anymore.
That is to say, this game was not broadcast live across the United States, and the imperial court did not broadcast it, otherwise Liu Mang would have been scolded as a dog on the Internet.
Originally, the Eagles' defensive enthusiasm was good, but now they are starting to score, and their defensive enthusiasm has become stronger. In addition, this is the best lineup against the Warriors that coach Kruger specially put in to wipe Liu Mang's ass.
The Eagles counterattacked continuously. When Liu Mang was single-defended, he would score in singles, and if Liu Mang was flanked by two people, he would pass to the free teammate. For the time being, it didn’t matter if there was an assist or not. McGrady, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace could all pass the ball. It's the same as jumping for a layup after trying the first two steps in three big steps.
Although it affected some offensive efficiency, there are so many unstoppable counterattacks!
At the official timeout of the third quarter, Liu Mang scored 9 points and 3 assists in the half quarter, leading the Eagles to a 20-6 run!
65 to 55, the Eagles played half of the three quarters, quickly overtook the score and opened the point difference to 10 points!
The Warriors are going to collapse!
This situation is too uncomfortable!
In the first half, they caught the Eagles' offensive mistakes in this game. Relying on their active defense, which they were not good at, they managed to lead by 4 points in the half. As a result, the opponent only took half a quarter to overtake and lead by 10 points!
Fisher is a good veteran, and has no competition with Liu Mang. Baron Davis' goal is not Liu Mang, but Francis, Mike Bibby and others.
But Jason Richardson, a player in the same class as Liu Mang, saw that Liu Mang wanted to score quickly and overtook the score. This feeling was too tortured for him!
Especially when the opponent is dead behind, he chases points if he wants to. Jason Richardson feels that he will never be able to surpass Liu Mang in his life. The gap between the stars of the same class is so large. Jason Williams has the idea of giving up competing with the strongest stars.
Jason Richardson is only seven months older than Liu Mang. At the age of 24, he averaged 24 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
The top stars are already those who stand at the top of the NBA. It is absolutely appropriate to designate a veteran contract or a maximum salary for changing teams, just like Raheem and Arenas.
But when there was a player like Liu Mang in the same class, Jason Richardson was under too much psychological pressure. He thought that this time Liu Mang's head was flooded and he could win once, but now he found out that he was just joking...
After the official timeout came back, the Eagles continued to deploy the lineup for the first half of the quarter. Coach Kruger finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Mang played normally.
That being the case, let's continue to play with this lineup where Liu Mang played normally, let Liu Mang be normal for a while, and let Liu Mang get used to this normal playing feeling by the way.
Coach Kruger doesn't object to Liu Mang passing the ball anymore, and the objection is useless, isn't it? The point is that the players who organize the offense have to play reasonably. Now Liu Mang is doing pretty well.
Liu Mang has the talent to organize the offense, but in the past two years, his passing function has been infinitely weakened, and the team needs him to undertake almost one-third of the scoring task.
Now I start to actively try to organize offenses, and slowly start to find fun, especially after I don’t deliberately seek assists, I slowly have some feelings.
三节打完的时候，刘莽拿到了22分6板14助攻！帮助老鹰队以81比63，三节领先18分！
The Eagles only scored 45 points in the first half, but they scored 36 points in a single quarter in the third quarter!
And the defensive lineup is more targeted, and the defensive enthusiasm is stronger than before, defending the Warriors to 14 points in a single quarter!
Liu Mang only had 4 assists in the third quarter, especially 1 assist in the second half, but he first used his own score to create a threat and then passed it out. His teammates could organize offensive setters, and the Eagles' offense suddenly came alive!
It is also four or five assists in a single quarter, but the effect is completely different!With 15 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, Liu Mang only sent 4 assists, but his teammates scored 21 points!
In the fourth quarter, Liu Mang was replaced and did not continue to play. With an 18-point difference, the game almost entered garbage time.
The lineup of Calderon, Jason Terry, Barry, David Lee, and Kwame Brown went up, and Jason Terry and Kwame Brown held the lead firmly.
In the end, the Eagles won nine consecutive victories 106 to 94!
After the game, Liu Mang was interviewed by reporters.
"Ace, you seem to be passing the ball too deliberately today, what's the reason?"
When Liu Mang heard this question, he replied without thinking: "Get assists! What else can you do? Can't you see it?"
What does it mean to chat the sky to death? It's about Liu Mang.
The reporter originally wanted to dig something, but now he really doesn't have the mood to dig news at all!
So straightforward!
The reporter caught Jason Terry who was circling around and trying to grab the camera. Although it was not live broadcast across the United States, it was good to show his face in the news.
"Jason, what do you think of Ace's play in the first half?"
Jason Terry was so happy, he forced his score to double digits during the garbage time, scored 12 points, 6 points in the fourth quarter, and 4 of 3 shots, all of which were mid-range.
How should I say it?Let's talk teammate!Jason Terry replied: "Ace did a very good job, with 10 assists in the first half, leading us to win by 12 points."
Is this a compliment?
The reporter didn't feel like sarcasm, so there was no way to chat!
Anyway, let's talk about what the teammates did not do well!
One directly admits that he is getting assists, and the other brags about his teammates. The news materials are available, but this process... makes the reporter feel that he has learned media for so many years in vain!
The players are so honest and united, how can he use his pen skills?
Liu Mang waved his hand and turned away: "Okay, I'm very tired today, and I have to go back and continue to study how to get assists in the next game..."
