Chapter 1036 1035. Start winning streak!
Chapter 1036 1035. Ten consecutive victories at the start!
A young player, a high-ranked rookie, overwhelmed the other two top point guards, and was selected with the second overall pick. Felton was very motivated when he entered the NBA.
In the first ten or so games in the NBA, although his performance is not explosive, it is not bad either. He is above the starting level. Among the high-ranking rookie point guards since the new century, except for Paul, he is currently the best. Deron is still playing on the bench for the Jazz, and he is not as good as him.
So Felton is still very confident in himself, and Jordan said that Felton has the same talent as him and Carter, and Felton also believed it. The goal of this game is to challenge Liu Mang.
But Liu Mang's first attack at the beginning was ruthless!
Felton took Rebrascia's hand and climbed up. He has played for so many years. He has been the most dazzling star since junior high school, the school hero, and the city hero. Entering the NBA can kill the Quartet.
But now, it has been abused.
Felton, who had already reached the critical point, was completely irritated by Liu Mang's humiliating buttons and words!
"I'm going to explode! I'm going to win!" Felton finally served and pushed forward. He wanted to single-handedly hit Liu Mang!
Gerald Wallace went to the front court and sat McGrady on the inside asking for the ball, but Felton refused to give it!
Okafor wanted to pick and roll, but Felton beckoned to disperse him. He wanted to play singles!
Young people are so angry.
Liu Mang stayed at the top arc, and when he saw Felton approaching, he immediately posted it.
Felton tried to squeeze Liu Mang away with his strong body...but he didn't...
Wanting to change direction to pass Liu Mang... Liu Mang always moved one step faster to the direction where he changed direction. Felton took a long time, but he was one step away from the three-point line!
Looking at Liu Mang's not-so-strong body, Felton was about to explode on the spot. Where is the strength that can stop him?
Liu Mang has been waiting for a loophole in Felton's dribbling. Felton's ball control is as stable as his stable statistics. Liu Mang is not in a hurry. If Felton wants to pass the ball, he will not let Felton go to the comfort zone.
Felton's comfort zone is the area inside and outside the top arc three-point line extended from the free throw line. It is the only area where Felton's shooting percentage exceeds the league average and is considered excellent.
Felton changed direction continuously and couldn't get rid of Liu Mang's defense at all, so he could only choose to back off and pick and roll.
At this time Liu Mang finally showed his defensive aggression!When Felton raised his foot to back up, Liu Mang pushed up with his chest. Felton was staggered, and his dribble was crooked. Liu Mang stretched out his long arms, and when Felton bounced the racket, he touched the ball first!
He directly poked the ball forward!
Both Liu Mang and Felton fell to the ground, Liu Mang jumped out like a four-legged animal, grabbed the ball first, got up and sprinted forward!
After delaying this, Gerald Wallace and Bogans had already chased him out. When Liu Mang sprinted forward, because there was no one in front of him, he couldn't trigger the skill of solo riding, and was closely chased by Gerald Wallace.
Liu Mang didn't stop, and rushed directly towards the basket.
Gerald Wallace followed behind Liu Mang and was not in a hurry to make a move. He was like a cheetah waiting for Liu Mang to make a shooting action. Since the start, he has averaged 3 steals and 2.5 blocks per game. Last season, Gerald Wallace also averaged 2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game. There are countless examples of successful pursuit defenses!
Seeing Liu Mang rushing to the free throw line, grabbing the ball in one step, and jumping forward, Gerald Wallace also jumped high, ready to give a big hat, but... Liu Mang threw the ball behind his head in the air!
Gerald Wallace saw the ball flying over his head and reached out to intercept it, but couldn't stop it.
Aerial magician!
Liu Mang's aerial magician triggered a positive effect this time, leading with the ball. McGrady followed up and saw Liu Mang's action, jumped up without hesitation, caught the ball on Gerald Wallace's head, and smashed the ball into the basket through Gerald Wallace who jumped forward!At the same time, it gave Gerald Wallace, who was pushing forward, a new impact, knocking Gerald Wallace out of the baseline and directly hitting the sponge of the basket before stopping!
As for Liu Mang, he had already landed and ran away. He did not jump high, but jumped long, landed quickly, and ran away quickly.
4 to 0!The Eagles started with a 4-point lead.
The death entanglement and the counterattack lob pass lead McGrady to the dunk. Liu Mang's defense and first attack fully demonstrated his strength in a second defense.
At the start of the Eagles, Liu Mang and McGrady dunked one each, and each of them was more explosive than the other, and the scene exploded!
Felton was completely played by Liu Mang in the applause. He couldn't break through, and he had no room for shooting. His most proud strength, even if he was 1.8 meters five and weighed 93 kilograms and had a strength of 85, he was only on par with Liu Mang. Because of his shortness, he couldn't compare with Liu Mang. His height was eight centimeters behind, and his wingspan was more than ten centimeters away...
Felton was defeated by Liu Mang at the beginning.
On Liu Mang's side, the offensive end is much more normal than the previous game. Overall, the third quarter of the previous game was played in the same way, scoring points, passing the ball, 9 points and 3 assists in the first quarter. While leading the Eagles to 27 points in a single quarter, they also defended Felton to 5 for 0 shots and 3 turnovers!
Two of them were Liu Mang's frontal steals!
A full quarter, 0 points, 1 assist, 3 turnovers, 5 of 0 shots, that is, Bickerstaff had to give time for Felton, Jordan's second pick, to play, otherwise he would have replaced him long ago.
Liu Mang scored 9 points and 3 assists. He didn’t hold the ball as much as in the last game. McGrady had the opportunity to choose to shoot or pass the ball. Iguodala, Korver, and Josh Smith who came off the bench also had points or assists that were not made by Liu Mang’s pass. Liu Mang was looking for a balance point
After the first quarter, the Eagles were 27 to 19, leading by 8 points.
……
In the second quarter, Bobcats backup point guard Brevin Knight played.
Blevin Knight averaged 9 assists per game last season and ranked fourth in the league. He thought he would get a big contract in the summer, but no team wanted it. Joe's boss gave him 900 million for two years and stayed on the bench.
After he came on the court, the Bobcats’ offense improved a bit and he was able to get assists. He has averaged 27 assists in 8 minutes per game so far this season. At least it proves that when he holds a lot of balls, the balls he passes out can be converted into points. .
After Jason Terry came up in the second quarter, Liu Mang's possession of the ball decreased.
The normalized style of play is to pass the ball when teammates need it. This is the countermeasure that Liu Mang found when he watched McGrady organize the offense. When Jason Terry needed to hold the ball last season, McGrady also immediately gave the ball out. He would not say that he has been holding it.
It seems impossible for McGrady to teach the learning experience, but it is still possible to learn according to some of McGrady's habits.
There is a successful example, as well as a historical assist Mr. Wang and a head coach who fully supports him. Liu Mang's change of play style has a good foundation, as long as it is not as inflexible as it was in the first half of the Warriors.
After Jason Terry came up, he just took the ball and did it. Today, Jason Terry's touch is so-so. He played for more than 8 minutes and scored 7 points.
The Eagles played in the second quarter and failed to widen the point difference. When the Eagles called a timeout in the 8th minute, they were 43 to 35, leading the Bobcats by 8 points.
Gerald - Wallace's outbreak is the key, he scored 8 points in 10 minutes, helping the Bobcats hold the scene, Blevin - Knight 8 minutes with 4 assists, two of which were contributed by Gerald - Wallace.
When his teammates are in good shape, Blevin Knight's assists are soaring.
……
With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Coach Kruger called a timeout and replaced Liu Mang, McGrady, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace.
This lineup is the most efficient lineup when Liu Mang is attacking with the ball. He can grab, run, and defend. Coach Kruger wants to widen the point difference and secure the victory before halftime.
On the Bobcats side, Felton was replaced again, and Bickerstaff had to adapt Felton to adult basketball.
The lineup of Felton, Kareem Rush, Gerald Wallace, Sean May, and Okafor played.
When Felton came off the field in the first quarter, he had really realized how big the gap between himself and Liu Mang was. He did mental training on the sidelines, calmed down, and prepared to go up and play hard.
Felton firmly believes that he will fight better and better, and the guy on the other side will probably not stare at him like before, after all, there is no threat!
Felton recognized the gap between himself and Liu Mang, and he also faced up to the gap.
However, Liu Mang did not receive the serve. After Iguodala received the serve from McGrady, Liu Mang came to the high position on the left side of the free throw line and leaned against Felton to ask for the ball.
Iguodala passed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang quickly turned left, left Felton behind, stepped on the sideline of the three-second zone and broke through to the inside.
At this time, Iguodala, who passed the ball to Liu Mang, cut in from the middle. Kareem Rush, who was defending the cut, immediately came to block Liu Mang. Liu Mang gave the ball to Iguodala, and Iguodala jumped towards the basket after receiving the ball.
Iguodala flicked his wrist and passed the ball behind Okafor, Kwame Brown received the ball, held the ball in his left hand and pushed the ball towards the backboard, and hit the board!
Felton is so desperate!Defense can't prevent it at all!
The defensive end is desperate, and Felton is ready to play hard on the offensive end. He feels that Liu Mang has ignored him, so it is very likely that he will relax his defense.
but……
Felton advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Mang was more active in defending than before.
The Eagles only scored 43 points with more than three minutes left in the second quarter, which was far worse than the average performance of the season. The main reason is that the Bobcats are really good defensively, especially in the interior. They need height, rebounds, enthusiasm, and good defensive awareness.
Because of this, the action on the court is getting bigger and bigger, and the referees don't call too many fouls. The physical confrontation on the court is much stronger than that in the first and second quarters.
As a result, Felton felt a more fierce defense than in the first quarter, and he couldn't even dribble well!
As a rookie, Felton didn't know how he provoked Liu Mang. Everyone was Jordan's favorite!
Felton came up and was locked by Liu Mang, and the Bobcats' offense began to stagnate again. The others had a good offensive efficiency, but Felton was defended like Liu Mang, so he had no chance to score or pass the ball!
By the end of the second quarter, Felton was completely desperate!
The guy opposite is a devil!
The Eagles didn't improve their scoring significantly in the next 4 minutes, scoring 4 points in 9 minutes, but the Bobcats only scored 4 points in 5 minutes.
After halftime, the Eagles 52 to 40, successfully opened the point difference to more than 10 points.
半场打完，刘莽拿到了17分6助攻3篮板3抢断1盖帽。
Felton...0 points 4 turnovers...
……
In the third quarter, coach Kruger directly arranged the tactics. Liu Mang played together with Tracy McGrady and Jason Terry to score the main points. David Lee and Kwame Brown partnered inside to grab rebounds.
David Lee's rebounding is really good. Up to now, he has averaged 15 points and 5 rebounds in 6 minutes per game, more rebounds than points!
Liu Mang started the scoring mode in the third quarter. Felton was given what Liu Mang wanted, and the defensive end stared at Felton, no matter what the defense was.
Liu Mang scored 14 points in a single quarter, including three consecutive three-pointers on Felton's head at the beginning, and his average of four three-pointers per game was enough.
After Liu Mang scored 9 points in a row at the beginning of the third quarter, the Bobcats began to pinch him. Liu Mang began to have a chance to pass the ball. Jason Terry wasted Liu Mang's two passes, but he still had to pass.
But even so, Liu Mang also got 3 assists in the third quarter, helping the Eagles score 31 points in a single quarter, the highest score in a single quarter of the game.
After three quarters, Liu Mang had 31 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. He was short of an assist and a double-double, but the score had reached 83-59, leading by 24 points. Liu Mang sat on the sidelines for a rest in the fourth quarter.
Hawks beat Bobcats 111-83
Tracy McGrady scored 21 points, Jason Terry 10 points, Korver 11 points, Kwame Brown 19 points and 16 rebounds. Five Eagles scored in double figures and won ten consecutive victories!
Felton and Liu Mang faced each other for 28 minutes, but Bickerstaff didn't replace him. Bickerstaff just wanted to prove to Jordan: The point guard you chose is really not the core material!It's okay to be a stable starting point guard, but it's too far from a real super point guard, and it's still a point guard who finished his junior year, so he doesn't have that good potential.
In 28 minutes, Felton made 10 of 0 shots and 5 turnovers. The rookie had no whistle and no free throws...
Felton began to doubt life, began to doubt whether he was really so talented...
……
The Eagles have won ten games in a row!
This season's ten-game winning streak came earlier than the previous two seasons. There was no live broadcast of this game. When the fans saw the headlines of the Eagles' ten-game winning streak, they didn't pay attention to the data at first.
Then seeing the miserable performance of the No. [-] show, the fans were stunned!
This is the No. [-] show!
Although the scoring average is not high, ten of the first twelve games scored in double figures. A very stable player. A stable player who averaged 10+ rebounds 3+ assists 5+ per game. Although not as amazing as Chris Paul, he is definitely a qualified NBA starter.
To be abused by Liu Mang into such a virtue!
Also, why is Liu Mang so cruel to the No. [-] pick hand-picked by Jordan?
At this time, some fans gave the answer.
"Have you forgotten? The best rookie of the year is in the same company as Ace, probably in retaliation for the teacher Jordan who didn't choose his younger brother, the NBA is so deep..."
