Seeing Liu Mang on the field, Payton tried hard to control his emotions, trying to show that he was a calm senior superstar who disdained the grievances before fighting with his juniors, but he still couldn't help showing that he wanted to endure it, but

I couldn't help it, I was a little ferocious, but I wanted to show my calmness and a slightly perverted smile.

Liu Mang pushed forward just in time to see Payton's smile, and his vest was chilling.

Pick-and-roll! It's better not to show off. You're a veteran superstar. He's so stingy. Isn't it just because he tricked you last time? You probably don't know it was me.

"Come on, rookie, let me see if you have made any progress these days." Payton started talking nonstop again.

In fact, it is impossible for Payton to have too much resentment against a rookie. But like other famous stars, there is a very special feeling when playing against Liu Mang. This rookie will rack his brains to come up with special playing methods in every round.

This is the same as when these superstars first entered the league. Payton also had this kind of time back then. At that time, when he played against Tim Hardaway, Tyrese Mason, Mark Jackson and others who were of similar playing age, they all

They tried their best to kill each other.

But as time goes by, that special feeling has slowly disappeared. Everyone has become a superstar, knows their opponents too well, and has a fixed style of play. There is no longer that feeling.

"A duel with you? Forget it, I usually duel with Jordan." Liu Mang opened his mouth and came, and Ratliff ran over to block Payton at this time.

Liu Mang quickly started to break through. Gary Payton almost choked to death on Liu Mang's words. Fortunately, he had gained some resistance to Liu Mang's mouth after the last fight and bypassed Ratliff.

Following Liu Mang's footsteps, he quickly ran to the inside.

Payton discovered that he couldn't keep up at all this time! Liu Mang's speed suddenly exploded after Liu Mang picked and rolled! This explosive speed reminded Payton of the little dwarf in Philadelphia!

This burst of speed didn't seem to last long, and it suddenly returned to the league's top but not absolutely invincible speed. But even so, Liu Mang got rid of Payton. Liu Mang rushed up from the center. The SuperSonics players saw Liu Mang.

Mang rushed up, and Wen Baker, the beer man, blocked the middle, intending to block Liu Mang in the middle section. After Liu Mang reached the Eagles' three-second zone, he turned around and leaned against Wen Baker beside him.

When Liu Mang broke through the pick-and-roll, Muhammad and Jason Terry, who already had a certain tacit understanding with Liu Mang, screened and rolled without the ball at the same time. Jason Terry cut in and Liu Mang passed the ball to Ravin Baker.

In the hands of Jason Terry, who was cutting in from behind, Lewis, the only remaining member of the SuperSonics inside line, quickly came up and flanked Jason Terry with Barry, who was catching up.

At this time, Muhammad was blocked by Radmanovic, but Ratliff also ran inside. After receiving the ball, Jason Terry sent the ball to Ratliff who came out of the space.

Treve caught the ball and dunked with both hands on the frame, scoring two points.

Payton, who followed Ratliff in, could only watch Ratliff dunk.

Payton was a little surprised that this rookie didn't work alone, but worked as a team with his teammates!

Although the cooperation seems very unfamiliar, with Muhammad and Rahim running together, at least there is cooperation. You must know that the Eagles do not have that much cooperation, because except for Jason Terry and Rahim,

There is no passing point outside, and both of them are the first and second end points, so the tactics cannot be used.

But now that the Eagles have three ball-holding points and are very capable of scoring, their style of play suddenly becomes more flexible!

13 to 18, the score difference came to 5 points.

Payton dribbled the ball forward. Payton was very calm. Although he usually kept talking and complained to the referees all day long about the calls, he was very measured and a very smart player. If he wanted to win against the Hawks, it was not

It was such an easy thing to do, but the rookie in front of him was difficult to deal with. He had already seen this last time when he played against the Eagles.

Seeing Payton coming, Liu Mang immediately followed him and defended like a dog skin plaster. Payton was surprised to find that not only did the rookie have a lot of changes on the offensive end, but he also seemed to be a little better defensively. The confrontation was not as good as the last time they played against each other.

So weak and inexperienced, although the confrontation is still very average, at least he can put some pressure on himself like an ordinary NBA player.

Want to fight hard? Of course Payton can easily carry it, but when the speed is not as fast as the opponent, he has to carry it all the time. This is a big drain on physical fitness. Although Payton's current physical fitness is still excellent, he is among the top five in the league in average playing time per game.

, but the style of play began to become leisurely, and he did not average 20 shots per game like before.

Payton gestured for the inside to take position. Vin Baker was originally a super scorer in the paint. After becoming a fat man, although his defense became a scumbag and he couldn't keep up, he couldn't grab rebounds, and he ran out of energy after playing hard.

The ability to get stuck on the offensive end has never been stronger.

Vin Baker squeezed the inside of the Hawks. Don't tell me, this weight that is close to O'Neal is really going to get stuck. No one can stop him. Probably only his "predecessor" Rainman can resist with the same fatness.

The role of Liu Mang after he came up was that Payton couldn't get rid of the defense. He either had to play alone or pass out. Liu Mang's excellent speed made it difficult for him to lose his position in the defense. Jason Terry and

Raheem would not have had the tragedy of being shot to death because the point guard was completely unable to stop Payton.

Ratliff worked hard, but was stuck in position by Vin Baker, and Payton sent the ball in just right.

Vin Baker has a height of 2.11 meters and a wingspan of 2.27 meters. In his early years when he was not fat, he has always been a killer in the inside. He has good skills and beautiful turns. Now he still has a powerful presence in the inside, relying on his huge body.

He was in an important position and could directly attack the basket with a big turn. Muhammad quickly double-teamed, Vin Baker wanted to pass the ball to Radmanovic who was free, and Jason Terry immediately ran over to block it.

Radmanovic's receiving line, but Barry quickly moved out of position, and Vin Baker passed the ball inside.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Barry catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer!

There was a complete gap, but the shot was not made. The ball bounced on the basket. Ratliff and Muhammad under the basket caught the fat version of Vin Baker who could not jump and moved slowly, and collected the rebound.

.

The Eagles began to counterattack. After Liu Mang came up, the characteristics of the Eagles were revealed. The back and forth offensive and defensive rhythm was very fast. The ball went into Liu Mang's hands, Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, and the cavalry attack... was interrupted!

The SuperSonics' four outside perimeter defenders are extremely quick to return to defense. Not to mention Payton and Barry, who are physically fit men, and they are also physically fit men even when they are old. Lewis is a small forward, and even Radmanovic plays small forward for a long time, and it is very difficult to return to defense.

Quickly, and without blindly returning to the inside to defend, Payton and Lewis went inside to block Liu Mang, and Barry was followed closely by Jason Terry who followed up slowly and slowly.

Coach Nate McMillan looked slightly satisfied. Unlike the last time he played the Hawks, he didn't look down on his opponent at all. This time, the Sonics put the Hawks in the same position and carefully studied the Hawks' play style. They were worthy of the victory.

, the key point of the steady victory over the Hawks was the Hawks' sixth man's strength after coming on the court. The Sonics did a lot of research on the Hawks' cavalry tactics and found a "very easy" way to deal with it.

Interrupted?

Liu Mang quickly retreated out of the three-second zone and came to the right side of the basket. After being blocked, Jason Terry did not continue to press the speed and immediately cut into the middle. Jason Terry attracted the attention of the SuperSonics.

In the middle, Rahim quietly and quickly cut in from the left wing. Liu Mang and Jason Terry focused all the Sonics defenders' attention on the middle and right side of the basket, especially Liu Mang's attack on Jason Terry.

After cutting to the middle and passing the ball, the SuperSonics felt that Jason Terry was about to shoot.

Jason Terry did throw the ball towards the basket, but it was not a strong shot against a two-meter-old big man, but an anti-aircraft cannon lob to the left side of the basket! Rahim cut into the paint and exploded, Rahim was in the air

His body leaned forward, grabbed the ball in his hands, and slammed the ball onto the SuperSonics basket.

Is the cavalry tactic really just two guards shooting blindly? This time it was Coach Kruger’s turn to laugh!
