From Today it is the King of the Basketball

but!

Liu Mang wants to open the way for the Hawks to catch up with the Lakers and Celtics!

This can be said to be an unrealistic dream, but Liu Mang set the goal as an almost impossible goal. If the small goal is only three consecutive championships, then this year is completed, there is no dream at all.

After winning the regular season championship for three consecutive years, the fans on the spot were crazy, and the Eagles players were also very excited.

There is a spontaneous pride. This year has been accompanied by Eagles trading rumors, and some media, either pure analysis or purposeful provocative analysis of the so-called Eagles future planning, have not affected the Eagles. Players, because of this pride.

What will happen in the future, they ca n’t control it, they have been in the NBA for so long, and they understand how the NBA is going. Even the stars of this level ca n’t control their stay, and there are so few players in the NBA Several people, since they can't control their own future, then they should accomplish what they should do well.

Liu Mang felt a surge of emotion for the team ’s new regular season championship banner for a while. Hearing Price was very passionate in declaring that this year ’s playoffs were a dynasty journey. Liu Mang suppressed that emotional surge. Right game!

The Pacers, the team of the three top players, if not the Pacers, have been full of trade rumors throughout the season, the three leaders who fought in the Auburn Hills Palace incident complained about the previous fight, and the Pacers ’own The team didn't like these three players, resulting in the Pacers players' ups and downs and less and less cooperation. Their strength is not just as simple as the eighth in the East.

And their head coach Rick Carlisle is not an ordinary coach.

...

At 8:30 in the evening, as Rashid Wallace roared and detonated the audience, the two teams of starters came to the field and the game officially began.

The Hawks sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

The Pacers sent the starting lineup of Jamal Tinsley, Stephen Jackson, Artest, O'Neal, Jeff Foster.

Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from the main responsible Foster, the Hawks first attack.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he immediately encountered Artest's violent defense. Liu Mang just stepped outside the three-point line. Artest pushed up directly and hit Liu Mang with his chest.

Good guy! This force caused Liu Mang to almost dribble the ball away, and quickly grabbed the ball with both hands.

The referee did not sound the whistle!

The Pacers took the rhythm into playoff mode from the first defense!

Liu Mang was forced to stop the ball. After standing firm, Liu Mang immediately took a big loop and wanted to take this opportunity to cause Artest to foul.

Artest responded extremely fast, his hands were tied at his waist, his arms were not stretched, to avoid Liu Mang causing a foul shot, and the stick was very tight. Liu Mang has stopped the ball. Artest can post it at will. Defense.

Awesome!

It is worthy that this season's comprehensive defensive efficiency is second only to Kirilenko's defensive defender!

Liu Mang was forced to do nothing!

Fortunately, at this time, McGrady came up to meet Liu Mang.

Liu Mang passed the ball to McGrady, McGrady received the ball in the top arc and accelerated the burst!

Stephen Jackson's defense is very active, but McGrady is not able to defend him. Although McGrady's first step is not the fastest one, but his legs are long and he takes a big step to go directly behind Stephen Jackson. And the second and third steps are getting faster and faster. When Stephen Jackson reacts, McGrady has entered the free throw line!

The Pacers' defensive discipline is nothing to say. In the playoffs, they are not as uncomfortable as they are in the regular season. They don't make up for defense. O'Neal pressed up and attacked McGrady.

Tracy McGrady's beautiful passing made the audience cheer continuously. Tracy McGrady played a little high. The first ball was played. In the face of O'Neal and Stephen Jackson who blocked the ball, Tracy McGrady grabbed the ball and turned to the left. Take two steps on the side, to the left bottom line in the three seconds zone, turn right 180 degrees, under the circumstances that O'Neal didn't expect him to make that posture, back to the bottom line, facing the hook of the basket sideways ...

The movement is very beautiful, the posture looks very chic, but this is not what McGrady should do!

Tracy McGrady is purely playing, not hooking!

The ball hit the rim and bounced to the right of the three-second zone. Foster, who was retracted to grab the rebound, rebounded.

"Your hook is so bad!" Liu Mang said when he retreated.

Tracy McGrady retired with a smile. Indeed, the side of the position with his back to the bottom hooked a little, it was a bit too wavy.

Tian Gou Jabal will not hook like that!

But if he enters, he looks handsome. McGrady regrets that he didn't succeed in playing handsome.

When the Pacers attacked, Tinsley first handed the ball to the low O'Neal. After receiving the ball, O'Neal and Rashid Wallace wrestled and struck to find the shot space in the low position, which took more than three seconds. At last, when it was about five seconds to break the law, I found the phone meeting and turned over and shot at close range ...

Hit!

O'Neal's one-on-one low-range close-up jumper is indeed awesome. The first goal came up and he scored.

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang received Kwame Brown's serve and advanced through the middle circle. At about 1.5 meters from the three-point line, Artest also stepped on the three-point line and waited for Liu Mang to approach the three-point line. When it was posted, Liu Mang suddenly stopped and pulled up and threw the ball out!

Three points from a long distance!

Liu Mang abruptly cast a distance of more than one meter across the top arc!

Live fans exclaimed!

Artest defensively today is very attentive, very focused on judging Liu Mang's offensive intention, but did not expect Liu Mang to vote like this!

Liu Mang shot this ball very well! However, he was a bit more powerful and hit the rebound, but was lucky enough to jump into the basket!

Liu Mang's super three-pointer hit!

McGrady first opened the wave ratio mode, and Liu Mang also followed the waves.

If you want to play, you can play together!

O'Neal made a five-second violation of the post in a low position. It took a lot of effort to score a two-pointer. Liu Mang pushed forward for five seconds, throwing it into the basket for more than one second, and the three-pointer was ready!

Not in seven seconds!

O'Neal's low singles score easily offset.

This kind of three-pointer that is more than one meter away from the top arc of the farthest distance from the three-point line makes the Pacers feel too uncomfortable!

Especially Artest, how to prevent this?

Posted so far away? Don't be killed suddenly!

The key is to be able to invest!

Artest didn't know what to do.

Only the first ball, Liu Mang made the Pacers players feel very depressed, the atmosphere at the scene made them feel irritable, and now more depressed.

For the Hawks, Liu Mang's ball was thrown in, and everyone was relieved to start playing!

Artest constantly roared at his teammates, so that the teammates should not be scared by the opponent.

When the Pacers reached the playoffs, they played very stable. Although Liu Mang made the first big three points, they were already the absolute disadvantaged team, even if the opponent played crazy performance against them. They feel normal, but Liu Mang ’s three-point confidence level and accuracy are too scary.

The Pacers are still playing steadily, whichever position has the advantage, which position is the main focus.

On the Eagles side, it is easy to play, and some shots and movements that are not usually used are played.

While playing, when the first quarter finished, the Hawks went 23-24, one point behind the Pacers!

In the second quarter, the rotation lineup came into play, and Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Morning's lineup came on the court, playing more hi, Liu Mang and Jason Terry. One-on-one three-pointers.

It's just that the double wave combination is not efficient, and the three-point shot is too random. On the Pacers side, Artest and Tinsley are better and better at defending Liu Mang and Jason Terry's three-point defense. .

The Hawks have been lagging behind by one or two points, and they haven't fallen too far, so I don't care. After grabbing an offensive rebound, Iguodala even wanted to directly deduct O'Neal and was pressed by O'Neal. Down.

The Eagles didn't care about the points because of the small difference ~ www.readwn.com ~ The Eagles bench was still mocking Iguodala, and Iguodala licked his face and laughed nonstop.

At the end of the half, the Hawks played 45 to 49. They played casually in the first half and were still only four points behind.

At halftime, the Hawks didn't make much adjustments. Liu Mang felt good. He made 8 3-pointers in the half and scored 11 points and 2 assists. Jason Terry also made two three-pointers. Scored 8 points, except for a little bit of waves, the defense is getting looser and the Eagles seem to have no other problems.

But in the second half, after the start of the third quarter, the situation changed suddenly!

Artest first hit a three-pointer, Jason Terry returned a three-pointer missed, then Stephen Jackson met McGrady's defense, the left bottom line received a three-pointer shot, the Pacers in the third quarter Come up and hit a wave of 6 to 0!

Coach Carlisle observed the halftime game and determined that the Hawks' problem today caused his own offensive player to start a wave of offensive attacks.

In a minute, the Pacers played a 6-0 wave, turning the score 55-45, leading the Eagles by 10!

Coach Kruger wanted to call a timeout, but seeing the lineup of Jason Terry and McGrady's Korver, David Lee, Rashid Wallace still confident, temporarily Hold the ball and let the players on the field solve the problem.

The Hawks attacked. After McGrady arrived in the frontcourt, he rushed into the inside to avoid Young O'Neal's defense and turned to score one point with one hand to help the Hawks stop bleeding.

However, the Hawks' lax defense, and McGrady's offensive again after dunking, were beaten by the Pacers 14: 4 in the next period!

Half of the third quarter, the Hawks 51 to 69, 18 points behind the Pacers!

Coach Kruger had to call a timeout!
