At 9-14, the Hawks had a bad start and replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Newbell, and Muhammad.

Amidst the overwhelming boos from Portland fans, Liu Mang appeared on the stage.

In the eyes of Portland fans, the Lakers are equal to Kobe plus O'Neal, approximately equal to Kobe. Liu Mang is compared with Kobe when he was a rookie, then approximately equal to Kobe, approximately equal to the Lakers.

Lakers?

Fuck him!

But the Portland fans certainly didn't expect that their boos would make Liu Mang more confident!

Well, so and so said it right, the more your opponent's fans are afraid of you, the louder they will boo you!

After Liu Mang came up, he had a heavy task. He came up with the goal of overtaking the score. If the Eagles did not win three of the five games in the Western Expedition, it would be difficult to guarantee that they could continue to stay in the top four in the Eastern Conference.

A strong team like this that is in decline must be taken down.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt amid boos, and just after halftime, the little flying squirrel came up to defend.

Just like Liu Mang relies on his speed advantage to not be afraid of losing position and stick to defense at will, Stoudemire has always relied on speed to play. He is short and strong by standard, only 1.78 meters, and still tall with shoes on.

"Damon Stoudemire, ability value 77, offense 82, defense 68, strength 70, speed 96..."

I have to say that this kind of defense is very troublesome. Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry who came up to receive the ball.

In the preparations before the game, the Eagles made targeted preparations on the offensive end, but they were not able to show their own characteristics, and the preparations were useless.

Liu Mang, as the best scorer on the bench, also has special changes in his playing style.

Attack without the ball!

The two scorers cannot play without the ball, because the other players' organizational and scoring abilities are average and cannot fulfill the role of opening up space to attract defense.

But the second lineup after Liu Mang came up was different.

The Trail Blazers' returning lineup after the timeout has become the Flying Squirrel, Kobe's terminator Ruben Patterson, Pippen, the fat version of Rain Man Shawn Kemp, and Rasheed Wallace.

Jason Terry held the ball in the top arc and beat Reuben Patterson in isolation. Liu Mang ran around with the little flying squirrel. After Chris Crawford gave Liu Mang an off-ball pick-and-roll, the Trail Blazers chose to switch defense and followed.

Next to Liu Mang is Pippen.

really!

Liu Mang saw the opponent switch defense, and his prediction before the game was right! Even if the Trail Blazers changed a head coach this year, the characteristics of the defensive end in previous years are still there! That is, they switch defense when encountering a pick-and-roll!

A few years ago, when Pippen was not that old and Dale Davis could still play 40 minutes a game, switching defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls was the biggest and most effective defensive feature of the Trail Blazers.

But now, Liu Mang saw that it was Pippen who had switched defenses. He immediately stopped and started again, bypassing the basket. Muhammad blocked Pippen, and Liu Mang was completely empty when he ran to the right corner.

!

Rasheed Wallace and Shawn Kemp stared at each other, seeming to wonder why you didn't go out to cover up the defense?

Jason Terry really wanted to pass the ball. He passed the ball decisively when Liu Mang reached the bottom corner. Liu Mang caught the ball from the bottom corner and shot a three-pointer!

"Shua"

Unguarded three-pointer!

When the Eagles had two musketeers on the outside who could be called magic shooters in this era, the Blazers didn't dare to shrink with four! This allowed Liu Mang to make good use of his teammates' off-ball pick-and-rolls!

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Pippen advanced and passed to Sean Kemp, who was about to reach the basket.

Newbell had a miserable look on his face, how could he protect himself from this big lump of meat!

Sean Kemp, nicknamed Rain Man, was a violent dunker who was as good as the future Blake Griffin in the early stages of his career. He was selected to the All-NBA Team and All-Star many times, but he was suspended during the last time.

After that, like another Sonics insider, Baker, he became a big fat man.

When Rainman came to the Trail Blazers, he was completely turned into a ball of flesh, unable to jump at all, slow in speed and poor in physical fitness.

But the advantage of having a meat ball is that his single-player ability has become stronger than ever before! If you let him run slowly, get into position and catch the ball, it will be difficult to guard against him.

Newbell basically couldn't make any substantial resistance and was knocked into the basket by Rainman. Rainman turned around and made a small throw...

Newbell hit the opponent's arm the moment Rainman took action, committing a tactical shooting foul!

Rainman, dunker, muscular man in the post, poor shooting is the norm, let alone after gaining weight, the distance in one hand is completely lost.

The Eagles took the initiative to send Rain Man to the free throw line!

Trail Blazers head coach Maurice Cheeks had a bad feeling.

Rainman made both free throws. Muhammad protected the rebound and immediately passed it to Liu Mang. Liu Mang caught the ball while running and continued rushing!

The other four members of the Eagles also rushed forward!

Liu Mang took the lead to rush to the three-point line. At this time, the extremely fast little flying squirrel caught up and blocked Liu Mang's fast break counterattack.

Liu Mang's speed was slowed down by the pressure of the little flying squirrel. When he entered the three-second zone, Kobe Bryant's terminator Ruben Patterson had already caught up.

But this is exactly what Liu Mang wanted. Liu Mang jumped up and passed back to the top arc. This return was beyond the expectations of the three outside players of the Trail Blazers. Pippen ran back hard to grab the rebound. The three Blazers

All the running back players are included!

Pippen had excellent defensive awareness and immediately realized that he had fallen into the trap, but his physical deterioration prevented him from using his excellent golf intelligence!

Pippen turned and ran to the outside, but Jason Terry, who caught the ball, chased and hit the three-pointer and hit the basket!

15 to 14!

In less than a minute after the Eagles' second team came up, they took the lead by one point!

"Cavalry tactics! It's cavalry tactics! Is that damn college coach really going to do this?" Trail Blazers head coach Cheeks was in disbelief!

This is a crazy coach! Just as crazy as that old man from the Mavericks!

The cavalry tactics that the Eagles occasionally used before have become somewhat famous in the coaching circle, or in other words, Coach Kruger has already become famous in the coaching circle.

The first is to become the favorite for the best coach. This will definitely make many coaches uncomfortable. A rookie coach is actually the top two candidate for the best coach!

In addition, Coach Kruger’s bold hiring strategy actually gave a second-round rookie almost unlimited power to fire. It is simply crazier than a mad scientist!

Just as Coach Cheeks had a bad premonition, after the Eagles came up, they targeted a very big weakness of the Trail Blazers.

There are two very important insiders in the Blazers' rotation. One is the fat version of Rainman, and the other is Dale Davis who has been replaced. For these two people, they have different reasons but the problem is the same - poor physical fitness.

, move slowly and start attacking!

Increase the speed! Increase the speed and run down the two heavy-duty inside players of the Trail Blazers who have the largest tonnage and the strongest internal defensive strength!
