The Eagles have returned to their strongest lineup.

Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Nubel, Muhammad.

Without too many words, everyone understood that Liu Mang came back and wanted to win! There is no need to say anything more, winning is the most important thing! The morale of the Eagles is high!

Likewise, the Knicks didn't want to let it go. Admittedly, even Alan Houston, who was unhappy with Liu Mang and had a grudge against Liu Mang, felt guilty for his teammate hurting Liu Mang, even if he didn't like Spree.

Weir, and has always drawn a clear line, there is basically no communication except for club games, but after all, we are a team, everyone will be prosperous, and everyone will suffer.

But a game is a game!

After the timeout, the Eagles have the ball.

The second half has been played for 7 minutes, and the Eagles only scored 9 points!

54 to 66, 12 points behind, putting a lot of pressure on Liu Mang.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Witherspoon, a short forward of 1.98 meters, came to guard Liu Mang.

Fans who often watched Rockets games during the Yao era may have an impression of this player. The No. 9 pick in 1992, a classmate of O'Neal, although he is only 1.98 meters, has a very solid shoulder height, an extremely short neck, an extremely small head, and a shoulder height of

He is the same person at 2.0506 meters, and he has strong muscles, fast speed, good rebounding, and can switch defensive point guards. During the Rockets period, he averaged 5.4 points in 13.4 minutes per game.

It's a pity that it's just a bit brittle, and I haven't been full-time in my career so far.

The Knicks are helpless. The one who defends hard and can guard against speedy point guards is actually a short forward who usually plays power forward.

Liu Mang breaks through!

Witherspoon was immediately shaken away.

Liu Mang's iconic step back to snipe!

Perhaps because of Sprewell's choke, Liu Mang hit his first three-pointer in the game!

He scored a three-pointer in the first quarter, which gave Liu Mang huge confidence! 4 points in the first quarter and 8 points in the second quarter. With this three-pointer, Liu Mang scored 15 points.

The score difference was narrowed to less than ten points at the beginning.

But it’s still early to be happy, what’s more important is defense!

When the Knicks attacked, Liu Mang began to bite Alan Houston on defense, Raheem defended the powerful Witherspoon, and Jason Terry followed Mark Jackson to defend three-pointers.

Liu Mang is back, and he doesn't have to guard Sprewell, so Alan Houston's nightmare is coming!

Like a shadow that can never be shaken off, Alan Houston felt the despair again after half a season.

And even more desperate!

This rookie's prediction of movement is stronger than when he first encountered it, and he seems to be faster. Alan Houston's current mood is as desperate and helpless as Hamilton's mood when the Wizards played the Hawks.

help!

The players that the Knicks have accumulated through their money strategy are still full of talent, except they are a bit older.

Mark Jackson now relies on accurate passing to get assists. Last season, he accidentally surpassed Oscar Robertson and became fourth on the all-time assist list. So far this season, he is only about 200 points behind Magic.

Yes, he still has two years of contract, surpassing the Magician is a matter of course.

However, Mark Jackson's sharp breakthrough goal when he was young and could end Stockton's assists record is no longer there. Of course, he can still send the ball to his teammates as soon as they have a scoring opportunity.

In the hands of his teammates, his organizational skills are basically the same. Seeing that the first scoring point, Alan Houston, can't move out of position, then the second and third shooting points will definitely not be able to have gaps because the defender is covering up.

.

But having money is good, and there are more people! Witherspoon pulled the ball out and asked for a single.

Witherspoon has certain singles ability, and he can use his strong body to get to the basket, which is very useful. Since he often plays a power forward, small forwards can't stop his strength when guarding against him, and genuine power forwards have the speed to guard against him.

Can't keep up.

However, this time Witherspoon encountered Raheem who was completely focused on defense and calm down. Everyone speeded up and couldn't hit him.

Raheem is a real power forward with the body and speed of a small forward, but Witherspoon forced a breakthrough and missed the shot.

Rahim turned and entered the inside. Muhammad and Newbell blocked the opponent's two inside lines. Rahim grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it directly to Jason Terry who was about to leave!

Just like who said...

came back!

All are back!

Liu Mang returned to the court, and the smoothness of switching from defense to offense was all back!

The Knicks are now very focused. Jason Terry's counterattack was caught up by Alan Houston and Witherspoon who returned to defense immediately, but this is exactly what Jason Terry wanted. He took the initiative

Taking on the role of counterattack and holding the ball is because I know that my touch today was ruined by the high confrontation before, and Liu Mang seems to have a good touch when he comes back.

After fully taking away the defense, Jason Terry passed back the top arc, and Liu Mang followed up with the ball and shot a three-pointer!

"Shua"

Hit again!

The Knicks are not a strong defensive team. The first wave of defense was taken away by Jason Terry. Liu Mang's follow-up shot opportunity was perfect!

60 to 66!

After Liu Mang came back, in just one minute, the score difference was chased to 6 points!

This exaggerated speed of chasing points, as well as the Hawks' suddenly new defensive pressure and rebound protection, as well as the smoothness of the transition from defense to offense, are completely different from the same team before!

This strong sense of oppression and the desire to win that the Knicks players had finally tightened up due to Sprewell's vicious offense were beaten to the point of collapse after a few hits.

This is really the gap between the first place in the East and the twelfth place in the East!

When it came to the Knicks' offense again, no one could open up the situation.

With one more player who can keep up with Alan Houston, the Hawks can suddenly defend the Knicks!

Sometimes the role of a pitcher is not to score, but to focus on his defensive ability. Pitchers like Alan Houston and Hamilton, who are frighteningly accurate mid-range shooters, often their biggest role is not scoring, but their ability.

After running out of space, he forces other defenders of the opponent to cover up and create opportunities for his teammates.

If they are the core of the team's offense, their scoring is never the most important. The most important thing is to use their threats to help teammates have better scoring opportunities from a different perspective than the organizational offensive core.

But now Alan Houston is closely followed by Liu Mang, and the pick and roll cannot create any gaps. Liu Mang can keep up with him even if he bypasses the pick and roll.

Seeing Liu Mang's blood rushing up as if from excitement, and the marks on his neck getting brighter and brighter red, complementing the bruises, Alan Houston said he couldn't play anymore!
Chapter completed!
