15 to 11, the Knicks are already 4 points ahead of the Hawks.

And they still have possession of the ball!

This boosted the morale of the Knicks players, and this was a good opportunity to widen the point difference to more than 5 points in one fell swoop!

The physical foul was committed at the midline, and the Knicks took a free throw in the midfield.

After receiving the serve, Mark Jackson advanced beyond the three-point line. Liu Mang defended him. Mark Jackson tried to change direction and break through. Unexpectedly, Liu Mang directly pressed forward and pressed Mark Jackson's dribbling.

Very different from Dean Grove’s mediocre defense before!

However, Mark Jackson's passing sense and ability are too good. Liu Mang moved in to defend. On the one hand, he wanted to interfere with the opponent's dribbling, and on the other hand, he wanted to use his height to block the opponent's line of sight.

However, Mark Jackson made a beautiful lob, and the madman got past DeMar Johnson and rushed to the basket. He received the ball and made a layup and scored two points.

17 to 11, the Knicks led the Eagles by 6 points, and the Eagles could only call a timeout again.

This was just over a minute after the substitution!

Originally, Coach Kruger thought that when Chris Crawford went up, he might not be able to keep up with Sprewell. He thought that DeMar Johnson was in good physical condition, but he didn’t expect that this guy was just walking when he went up!

After playing for just one minute, Liu Mang was replaced. When Liu Mang saw such a physically fit teammate playing like this, his career was probably on the decline.

The Eagles were still ahead by 6 points at the beginning, but now they were overtaken by 6 points. The Madman suddenly broke out unexpectedly, and indeed no one could guard against it!

When Raheem was guarding him, he made sudden kills. When he met the short Jason Terry, he made jump shots. When he met DeMar Johnson, he cut through the air. He had excellent ball skills and excellent golf intelligence.

The Eagles really can't deal with this old madman now!

Coach Kruger can only emphasize speeding up, and does not give the veteran-dominated Knicks time to get into position for singles and air cuts like before.

Before the timeout ended, Liu Mang called Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Nubel, and Muhammad, who were about to play together, together and discussed it for a few words. The teammates were stunned and firmly

Say just do it!

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang quickly advanced to the frontcourt and handed it to Jason Terry. Jason Terry beat Alan Houston and hit a mid-range emergency stop jumper to recover two points.

The ball was back in the hands of the Knicks. Mark Jackson advanced and found the Hawks switching defense!

Chris Crawford fiercely pressed forward towards Mark Jackson, and Chris Crawford directly pressed against Mark Jackson's chest, almost waving his arm to hit him!

Although Mark Jackson is considered strong, he is much stronger than Liu Mang. Otherwise, he would not have been able to detect the madman's air cut and send a wonderful pass when he was pressed and defended by Liu Mang in the last round.

But compared with Chris Crawford, a male forward swingman who is more than two meters tall, the two are not even a little bit stronger. Mark Jackson quickly withdrew and Sprewell ran out of the three-point line.

Respond.

The Knicks' ball-handling point became Sprewell.

With this delay, the Knicks only have 9 seconds left to attack!

Sprewell immediately launched an attack. Looking at the thin rookie point guard in front of him, Sprewell made a disdainful change of direction. Regardless of whether there was a gap or not, anyway, even if he did not get rid of the opponent, he was confident that he could directly crush him with his body.

Go in and shoot, and you might even cause the opponent to foul!

How could Liu Mang not understand the thoughts of Nezha Tou who jumped off the building in front of him, but he was not afraid and pushed towards Sprewell, and he couldn't stop him!

But Liu Mang worked hard to stabilize his core strength and retreated with Sprewell who was heading inside. He stayed directly in front of Sprewell and did not give the opponent a chance to directly attack the basket!

Suddenly reaching the edge of the three-second zone, Sprewell didn't care about anything else and forced himself in!

Liu Mang judged the opponent's tactics when Sprewell bent his knees, but even if Sprewell was 32 years old, his explosive power was not something he could handle, so Liu Mang was about to jump when Sprewell bent his knees.

, he put his hand on Sprewell's waist at the right time, and tried hard to make contact with his thumb and index finger, but was blocked by a ball of fat...

"hiss……"

Sprewell subconsciously raised his elbow to fend off the person who was pinching his waist. Moreover, the meat on his waist was too sensitive and painful to pinch! He couldn't control it at all!

This direct pushing action is like getting angry after being unable to get rid of the defense. It is different from the fierce confrontation. It is an absolute foul. The referee's whistle blows and the Knicks commit an offensive foul!

Damn it!

After seven or eight consecutive rounds, the Eagles finally defended the Knicks' offense again!

"NO! NO! NO! Referee, that guy hit me in the stomach! He, he, he..." Sprewell couldn't speak when he was anxious. When his head was in a hurry, he didn't know how to describe the specific process, otherwise he wouldn't

There will never be an incident where the head coach accuses the head coach of playing wrongly during training, and when he is angry, he does not refute and just chokes the head coach.

The referee ignored the madman's words. First of all, Sprewell's label as a madman is too impressive. He is a person who loses his mind when things don't go his way. Sometimes the referee's call is a bit subjective.

There are quite a few; secondly, Liu Mang's movements are very subtle and very fast.

This was a method Liu Mang had practiced pinching himself when he saw the department manager making a joke at work before and wanted to laugh but was afraid of being judged. Others couldn't tell.

Straighten each finger, put the palm of your hand down, and press your palm on your stomach. Use the second joint of your index finger and the joint of your thumb to pinch yourself. It looks like you are touching your stomach, but it is better than twisting it with your fingertips.

It hurts more!

Sprewell felt so aggrieved. He did something bad and was called a foul, so he didn’t say anything about it. He clearly didn’t do anything!

The Eagles were playing in the backcourt, Liu Mang pushed forward, and saw Sprewell, whose eyes seemed to have murderous intent.

What is Brother Choke going to do?

Liu Mang gave the ball to Jason Terry and failed to counterattack. It is still Jason Terry's singles time. After the All-Star Weekend, Jason Terry averaged 26 points per game. Except for the game against the Heat, Jason Terry has recently...

At other times, the singles efficiency is very good.

Jason Terry was playing in isolation, and Alan Houston couldn't guard him! Mark Jackson looked at Chris Crawford, whom he was guarding, and decisively went over to double-team him.

Now comes the embarrassing point for the Eagles!

The Knicks' Harrington and Kurt Thomas were stuck inside the basket, and both of them had unclean hands. There was great competition at the basket, and neither Newbell nor Muhammad had very good shooting abilities.

, could only get stuck under the basket, Jason Terry passed the ball to the vacated Chris Crawford. Chris Crawford may not look like a big white man, but he is a man with good physical fitness.

, he has never made more than 20 three-pointers in a season, and even his free throw percentage is only 70%. Almost all of his long-range shots are to catch the ball as time is up. What he is good at is holding the ball like holding explosives.

He is a good player at digging into the basket like a bag and counterattacking for dunks.

Mark Jackson is very experienced. When he saw Chris Crawford unable to rush inside after receiving the ball, and his confused look on the long-distance shot, he decisively went forward with Alan Houston to double-team Jason who was without the ball.

-Terry.

Chris Crawford saw the pass back to Jason Terry and couldn't pass it back, so give it to the rookie boss!

When playing a game, the people who cooperate are basically looking at the ball, and may ignore the side without the ball, like now.

Chris Crawford turned around and looked, good guys! A fight is about to start?

On Liu Mang and Kuangren's side, the physical confrontation between the two was like wrestling!

Taking advantage of his height, Sprewell passed his left hand around Liu Mang's right shoulder and hugged Liu Mang, preventing Liu Mang from catching the ball. Not to be outdone, Liu Mang elbowed the opponent away.

The explosive power of Liu Mang's elbow strikes became more and more powerful. Of course, Sprewell was not happy about it. He immediately came back and pulled Liu Mang with greater movements.

Liu Mang saw Chris Crawford receiving the ball. Seeing that the 24-second attack time was about to come, Liu Mang pulled Sprewell away in desperation, and Sprewell stopped.

, pushed Liu Mang back.

Now Liu Mang was completely angry. The 24-second attack time was up, and the Eagles violated the rules...

"You like pushing people so much? Go work at a subway station. Your strength can save the subway company from hiring several employees! Maybe one day you will be unemployed in the NBA and you can still support your family." Liu Mang didn't look afraid at all.

The vicious Sprewell got on top and started attacking him personally.

It's just that no one else understood what Liu Mang was talking about now, and thought Liu Mang was simply scolding Mr. Sprewell.

"Rookie, this is the NBA. I can't even stand this kind of confrontation. You should go back to college and play ball, sweetie." Sprewell retorted.

Sprewell felt that this trash talk was very useful, a standard American self-confidence.

But Liu Mang's answer was: "Thank you, you are the first person to say that I am a good baby."

Referee Steve Jarvie and the assistant coach immediately came over to separate the two.

Is this either going to be no confrontation, or is it going to be a direct fight?

Steve Jarvie didn't expect that his idea of ​​​​improving the confrontation between the two teams seemed to be a bit over the top?

Liu Mang is ready to receive a technical foul. It may be a technical foul on both sides?

Then Liu Mang has some ideas. If he wants to cash out Sprewell himself, his chances of winning will be much higher, right?

However, Liu Mang underestimated the referee of today's game.

Javi is causing trouble.

This is Steve Jarvie's nickname in the refereeing world. The games he officiated were always full of gunpowder. It is worth mentioning that in the late 1980s, he officiated many games for the Pistons, and his officiating was extremely

Loose!

The referee did not give a technical foul, or even a foul, because Liu Mang had already committed a foul. The referee had to consider the enjoyment of the game, so he did not call a foul on Liu Mang. Sprewell also committed a foul.

It was a foul, so the two of them pushed and shoved each other for a long time, but nothing happened.

The referee signaled the game to continue! It's time for the Knicks to attack again.

Mark Jackson advanced and Sprewell received Mark Jackson's pass. Liu Mang was too difficult to deal with. Although Sprewell was crazy and irritable, he was not stupid! This rookie had too many tricks.

No wonder the team boss, who has a hard time getting angry, is so angry.

In fact, the more conflict there is, the more players on both sides want to control their emotions. However, humans are not machines. They can stop being impulsive by pressing a button and saying they are not angry or impulsive.
