171. Your three-point shot is so cool~(1/2)
Carter declared war and Liu Mang was having a lot of fun. Two people on the Eagles side were unhappy. One was Raheem, who was facing off against Carter, and the other was Jason Terry, who never lacks fighting spirit.
Raheem feels slighted and Jason Terry feels like his limelight has been robbed!
Once the relationship is good and the relationship is good, you still have to do things like grabbing the limelight!
Jason Terry came over with the ball and gave Raheem a look. Rahim immediately understood and came out to screen for Jason Terry. Carter followed and defended. After the split, Jason Terry faced Carter in singles.
!
Carter's defensive awareness is really bad. Now he only uses his body to solve problems and presses forward. Jason Terry changes direction and shakes Carter out of sight. He rushes inside to avoid Olajuwon and gets a layup.
Two points down.
Carter's attention was all on Liu Mang, and there was nothing he could do about it. In the past, Rahim had strength but could not put it on the stage, and his fighting spirit was too low.
Jason Terry is limited by his personality and size, and he is not strong enough to be a first-class player.
The two of them had nothing special to say, and it was difficult for Carter to be interested in them.
But these two people were determined to kill Carter together. The tacit understanding that they could understand each other with just one look made them start fighting with Carter!
With the mentality of just beating and waiting for Liu Mang to come up, Carter started to notice that something was wrong!
Jason Terry and Raheem each have a ball, and they are all attacking Carter alone in a wheel-and-wheel battle!
Originally, Carter's strength could not be said to overwhelm Rahim. Anyway, Rahim is also a strong player among top stars. His size and excellent flexibility are even more outstanding, although he is not as comprehensive as Carter's three-pointer.
It is a top offensive method, but when it comes to mid-range and short-range attacks, without Duncan, O'Neal, and Ben Wallace, these super insiders guarding the three-second zone, it is impossible to stop it with just one outside player even if they risk their lives.
!
What's more, Carter will not risk his life to defend. Coupled with a shooting guard who can average at least 20 points per game in terms of offense, Carter's defense is casual, but Raheem's defense is risking his life! Carter is one against two.
, which in turn was suppressed!
From the very beginning of the game, Raheem and Jason Terry set the tone for the game. Someone actually underestimated our brothers and killed him!
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Eagles were beaten by Carter for a three-pointer and fell behind by one point. After that, the Eagles suppressed the Raptors all the way.
Jason Terry and Raheem are good brothers. You and I are facing the Raptors' lineup, which is old, worried, weak... until the official timeout in the first quarter, Rahim
After scoring 9 points, Jason Terry scored 7 points. The two scored 16 points together, leading the Eagles to lead the Raptors 19-10 by 9 points after 7 minutes of play!
…
Timeout! Liu Mang, who had already been excited by the confrontation between Carter, Raheem and Jason Terry, stood up and walked to the court, wanting to shoot some hot shots.
"Ace, come back here!"
Unexpectedly, coach Kruger did not intend to replace Liu Mang!
"Jason, Emmanuel, Chris, Sharif, Nazr, you go up, guard Carter and Peterson's three-pointers, pay attention to shrinking inside, and take advantage of this momentum to create an advantage..." Coach Kruger said
During the official timeout, they assigned the task of widening the score difference, but did not replace Liu Mang.
Liu Mang was a little stunned. What did he do wrong today?
No!
He didn't brag to the media, and he didn't even go to the interview today. He was already a little afraid of the media's pen.
Not serious about training? This is even more impossible. He is the most active one every time he trains.
What else?
Gone!
It seems like I did nothing wrong! Why didn’t I get a chance to play when I was about to open up the score?
Liu Mang felt aggrieved and moved to the position behind Coach Kruger, staring at the back of the coach's head.
Coach Kruger is very satisfied to see that the rotation team still maintains its advantage after coming on the field. Now in the middle of the season, what they want is stability!
To win steadily, you don't need to do too much, just maintain the record. The middle of the season is the most troublesome.
However, Coach Kruger felt something was wrong, he felt uncomfortable all over, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of resentment!
Rahim, who was watching the score go crazy, took advantage of Olajuwon's tiredness and came off the court. When the Raptors didn't have a big center, he rushed in and dunked to open the point difference to 11 points. The situation was quite stable. He was ready to sit down and see where he was going.
Something's wrong, why do I feel like I'm being targeted by a resentful woman?
As soon as he turned around, Coach Kruger was startled. Liu Mang sat behind him and stared at him, his little eyes so sad!
What a headache!
When Coach Kruger sees Liu Mang sticking his butt out, he knows whether he wants to poop or is bloated. This disciple can't be beaten, he's more flexible than a monkey, and he can't be scolded. His performance is really good.
What can I do? Just be reasonable!
Coach Kruger sat next to Liu Mang and asked, "Ace, are you confused as to why you weren't replaced?"
Liu Mang nodded honestly. When talking to Americans, he had to be direct and express his desire to play. If he turned around, they would probably take his words seriously!
"If you were to play now, Ace, what would you like to do?" Coach Kruger asked.
"Three points with Carter Biao! He's so annoying, he actually imitated me..." Liu Mang was talking, and suddenly felt that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed his words: "I mean I want to lead the team to play well.
With the current momentum of the team, we can open up the score."
"The previous sentence is your true thought, right?" Coach Kruger wiped his forehead along the back of his head, showing the mature temperament of a middle-aged man: "You are better than ordinary rookies.
Mature, but there are also immature aspects. For example, last time you played against the Rockets, you only wanted to score a three-pointer with Francis Biao, which almost caused the game to be lost. What we want is the team's victory, not the one-on-one victory between you and Carter.
, whether it’s Carter or Francis, can you win in a duel with them?”
"..." Liu Mang was a little discouraged: "We can't win."
This is the truth.
It's a bit difficult to challenge Carter one-on-one. If the point guard wants to defeat Carter and Francis one-on-one, it's almost enough to call Iverson. However, Liu Mang had a new idea and continued to ask for the court: "Coach, I can use him to think
He has to fight against me in a one-on-one shooting three-pointer..."
Coach Kruger listened to Liu Mang's thoughts. It wasn't a very special tactic or anything, it didn't even feel too obscene, but Coach Kruger felt so sinister!
…
…
After the first quarter, the Eagles did not completely widen the point difference. Carter was playing hard, not caring whether he was waiting for Liu Mang to come up and hit a three-pointer, which would be beaten by two "nobody"s.
Shame! Of course Carter refused. In the last few minutes of the first quarter, Carter gradually entered the state.
Last year, the 76ers who were able to reach the second round and Iverson's fierce battle to the tiebreaker, Carter was definitely the key! If it weren't for one game because he had to go back to North Carolina State University's Charlotte campus to get his college diploma and bachelor's degree
The degree certificate affected my physical fitness and caused me to lose one more game, ruining the good situation of having a 2-1 home court advantage and possibly reaching the Eastern Conference Finals!
Superstars are superstars. When Carter is serious, he doesn't need the cooperation of Raheem and Jason Terry at all to organize the offense and score points. He can withstand the impact of the two of them and slowly starts to feel the need.
With the feeling of the Raptors counterattack!
If you have talent, you can do whatever you want! Carter has proved this with practical actions. He is so strong if he plays the game well!
After the first quarter, the Eagles led the Raptors by 7 points, 31-24.
When Carter no longer continues to rush for three-pointers and stubbornly rushes to the basket for dunks, but is balancing between scoring and passing, the Raptors gradually begin to chase points. If the offense is good, the defense will also pick up. Jason -
Terry and Raheem's scoring was not as easy as in the first half of the quarter. After all, one of the "three young men" was missing. There were not many outside lineups who could shoot three-pointers. It would not be so easy to play without one.
The two older eagles began to miss the youngest eagle.
They were also a little puzzled, why Liu Mang wasn't replaced today?
There were several balls that Jason Terry almost missed, but the opponent's back line caught up and passed the ball to the outside. No one could shoot, and the fast break was in vain. Moreover, during the positional battle, because there was no second three-point shooter,
When the opponent's defense became active, no one could stab the ball in when Jason Terry and Raheem were double-teamed.
Finally, during the break and substitution, the two heard the arrangement of Liu Mang being replaced.
Coach Kruger was emphasizing defense when he suddenly realized that a few people were missing. Why were all the benches surrounding him wearing training uniforms? What about the five people on the court?
Looking up, Liu Mang was holding Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Newbel to discuss something.
Suddenly, Jason Terry exclaimed: "What? You just asked me to do this?"
"Oh, Jason, I will still cheer for you when you vote!" Liu Mang said with a smile.
"Okay!" Jason Terry was so helpless, but why was he still vaguely looking forward to it?
The other three people didn't feel anything was wrong. They had already developed antibodies to Liu Mang's insidiousness. They continued to discuss something when they suddenly felt someone staring at them. When they turned around, they saw Coach Kruger with an angry look on his face.
Many substitute teammates watched them together.
It seemed like they were arranging tactics just now, right? You just walked away like that, so you didn’t give the coach face!
The four people except Liu Mang looked at each other, pointed at Liu Mang and said, "Coach, it was Ace who asked us to come over and said he had something to tell us!"
Liu Mang looked at his four teammates in shock. They are indeed good brothers! If you say betrayal, you will betray them. They are really good brothers!
Liu Mang could only smile and ran forward and asked: "Coach, do you have anything to arrange?"
"roll!"
