Ordinary players are the first choice after rushing into the paint, evading defenses to score points, encountering double-teams, and passing to teammates.

When Carter was playing, as long as he successfully rushed in, he would think about dunking, otherwise he would be blocked or fouled. During his peak period, he could only dunk once every other game on average.

When Capela plays, no one dunks directly in front of him.

As for Liu Mang, after this breakthrough, he rushed directly towards the basket, and he rushed towards Jerome Williams!

This action caused the fans at the scene to exclaim. Is this an attempt to get revenge?

Although Liu Mang's physical fitness is not outstanding, he is famous for not dunking if he doesn't want to do so. If he wants to dunk, he will do so!

How could Mad Dog Jerome let Liu Mang get his way? He was already ready, and when Liu Mang rushed up, he would slap the opponent to the ground!

foul?

What the heck is that! When he was with the Pistons, he averaged over four fouls per game and was sent off six times a dozen times every season! Especially when he was playing in the playoffs with Grant Hill, in one round

He was ejected in 4 out of 5 games in the series! They both set a record for the highest percentage of ejections in the playoffs!

Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line, picked up the ball, bent his knees deeply, and took a step forward!

Jerome Williams roared and rushed towards Liu Mang.

At this time, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and landed gently on the ground. He bent his knees very fiercely. When he stepped out, he was light and easy. In slow motion, he sideways avoided Jerome Williams, and then bumped into Jerome Williams.

Throw the ball to the basket before hitting it!

"Andwan!" Draymond Green roared!

The moment Liu Mang met Jerome Williams, the referee's whistle sounded! Shooting foul!

The ball went into the basket!

"Leak! No! Damn bastard! This despicable rookie he he he he...are you blind? He is deliberately causing a foul!" Jerome Williams roared at the referee.

Unlike Antonio Davis, who is an All-Star and can roar but still have a sense of control, Mad Dog Jerome gets excited and can't do anything. He just yells at the referee and even curses.

You are stupid! You said it yourself that the opponent committed a foul. Who do you blame for being cheated? The referee ignored him and directly gave a T and signaled towards the technical table. A technical foul and a free throw plus a field goal were scored.

penalty.

Seeing Jerome Williams arguing with the referee and feeling like he was about to hit someone, coach Lenny Wilkens quickly called a timeout.

This is a double-edged sword!

Yes, it can greatly improve the team's vitality.

But why don't any championship teams want it?

Just because it’s too much!

This is no longer the era of the Bad Boys in the late 1980s. Flagrant fouls were established, referees had increased technical foul powers, and bad-guy players like Jerome Williams who might have been popular with strong defensive teams ten years ago.

No championship team wants it anymore.

If they were playing against the Pistons, both teams would be a bunch of dirty rivals. When Jerome Williams and Clifford Robinson were fighting, the referee would probably only call a common foul. However, Liu Mang has injected his style into the Hawks.

You can be obscene and shameless, but you can't be without principles.

In this way, the referee's whistle will naturally be biased. Jerome Williams has obviously angered the referee. Looking at Jerome Williams, he seems to be so angry that he hits the referee. Will

Coach Kens immediately replaced him. Although this player didn't care about six or six fouls, it would be fun if he hit the referee. It would not only be a technical foul or being ejected, but it would probably not even be considered in this playoffs.

beated.

When it comes to the most stable free throws, the Eagles have Liu Mang and Jason Terry. If only one person is on the court, they will take technical foul free throws. When both of them are on the court, they usually take turns. This time Crew

Coach Ge asked Jason Terry to take a technical foul free throw.

"I'm waiting for you in Jingdezhen. I can recognize you at a glance..." Liu Mang hummed a ditty in English that he couldn't translate a few times and walked to the sideline to wait for Jason Terry to take a technical foul free throw.

Playing dirty tricks with me? I'll get you done in minutes!

"Ace, what are you singing about? Where is Jingdezhen?" Rahim asked curiously.

"Jingdezhen! It's a sacred place in our basketball world. I'm praising my seniors who play like this." Liu Mang said with a bad smile.

"Oh? Is it that senior? This is the first time I've seen your...smart style of play, Ace." Rahim thought for a while and formed an adjective.

Oh, it’s so against your will! You’ll die if you praise your little brother! Liu Mang continued to talk nonsense: “That’s a very great man. His name is Brother Deng, the King of Jingdezhen. Don’t you understand? Just don’t understand! That’s what he’s called.

mystery!"

Amidst Liu Mang's nonsense, Jason Terry made a free throw with a technical foul, and the referee blew the whistle for the Raptors' timeout.

23 to 9, the Eagles lead by 14 points at home!

With 1 minute and 7 seconds left in the first quarter, Liu Mang had another extra penalty! That means he might lead by 15 points!

Coach Wilkens was thinking hard with his tactical board.

No matter what tactics you use, they are useless!

The tactics the Raptors can use with their current lineup would be like seeking death against the Hawks, and they can't even stop a defensive battle!

The main reason is that the defensive battle that the Raptors can fight is a bloody battle, and the opponent has a shameless foul-drawing king, a shameless rookie who actually got the second most free throws in the regular season as a substitute. Although everyone is

Even the Hawks fans agree that this style of play is really shameless, but it is so novel and effective! It is designed to overcome their physical defense.

In fact, if Coach Wilkens encounters the Pistons led by Coach Carlisle, who is talented but not very experienced and does not match the overall temperament of the Pistons, the Raptors will still have a chance to defeat them despite the huge gap in strength.

But when playing against the Eagles, not only is there a huge gap in strength, but also in terms of playing style!

It’s not just Liu Mang who can defeat them elsewhere, it’s Liu Mang who can defeat them with their ferocious inside defense!

To put it bluntly, the Raptors simply lack strength and have no other choice but to rely on hard work.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But what else can we do?

Coach Wilkens has no other choice, just continue to fight! Continue to strengthen defense and shrink!

…

What should I say about this disciple? He has a very tough personality, and his fighting style... I won’t go into details.

Coach Kruger still underestimated the strength of his side. If he thought about it carefully, he really underestimated himself.

If the Raptors face the Pistons and Celtics, who also only have more than 40 wins or around 50 wins, they can have a chance to struggle.

But the Hawks have more than 60 wins! As long as they play carefully and carefully, the Raptors may be able to take the initiative for a while because of their special tactics.

But as the Eagles got used to it, especially because the opponent's big action fouls made the Eagles players bloody, they also strengthened the confrontation, and the opponent had no chance to struggle!

Coach Kruger made up his mind. After urging the players not to take the lead lightly, he waved his hand, closed the door and let the gangsters go!

…

After the timeout, the Raptors replaced a dark and muscular man, Eric Montross, a 29-year-old physical center who was picked No. 9 in 1994 and was in his prime. He had average golf IQ but very good defense.

rough.

The Raptors can't control that much anymore and will fight to the end! This is their only chance to save the situation!

For the Eagles, with the four main players and Nubell continuing to play, the playing time of the main players in this year's playoffs will definitely be greatly improved.

Liu Mang came up to impose a penalty but regrettably did not score.

The Raptors attack, Maurice Peterson holds the ball in the high post, the Eagles continue to shrink, shrink to death, this time Maurice Peterson finally gets it right, forcing Raheem to the right side of the free throw line and throwing down

After scoring in the basket, the Raptors finally scored in double figures in a single quarter!

It's the Hawks' offense again, and the entire Hawks team has spread out! Even Muhammad and Raheem, who have no shooting ability, have pulled out of the three-second zone to make room for Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was playing with anger today. He saw that all the opponents were in their 60s and early 70s. Only Antonio Davis had an opponent with an ability value of 78. He was scared!

Liu Mang dribbles the ball and keeps attacking inside. If the opponent pounces, he will take the ball and hit it under the opponent's arm, or if he has a chance, he will shake it away and then take the initiative to rub into it. This can also avoid being hit and affecting the accuracy of free throws.

Do whatever you can to draw fouls!

Liu Mang committed two more fouls in the last few dozen seconds.

After the first quarter, after only scoring 7 points in the first half, the Eagles scored 20 points in the second half, leading the Raptors by 14 points 27 to 13 in a single quarter!

After the start of the second half, Liu Mang's breakthrough made the opponent afraid to stay so close, but he had to help defend. At this time, Liu Mang began to cooperate with Jason Terry and Raheem, and he was double-teamed and immediately passed the ball.

Raheem or Jason Terry, both of them would shoot or cut to the basket to attack the basket when they had the opportunity, or they would pass to the defender who the Raptors missed after double-teaming Liu Mang.

Although everyone in the Raptors team has good physical fitness and is a flying team after all. They can run fast and jump quickly, so they constantly fall out of position, resulting in a slow pace and a slow pace in opening up the points difference. However, it has been gradually widening.

At halftime, 49 to 27, the Eagles led by 22 points at halftime!

Faced with the crushing strength, the Raptors still had some expectations at the beginning. When the Nuggets beat the SuperSonics in eight games, their playing style was similar to theirs, and the record gap was even greater. The SuperSonics won 63 games while the Nuggets only had 42.

After winning the game, the Knicks' eight-game deficit against the Heat was still fresh in their minds. After a 7-4 start, the Raptors' fighting spirit reached its highest point.

But the gap in strength is the gap in strength. When the fighting spirit is at its highest point and encounters a head-on blow, it collapses very quickly and reaches the lowest point!

That guy from Jingdezhen is simply a devil! A rookie like a devil!

In the third quarter, the Raptors' defensive enthusiasm was obviously down. Liu Mang took this opportunity to go up and shoot from the outside. How long would it take for him to wait?

In the third quarter, Liu Mang made 4 of 9 shots from the outside and threw 4 three-pointers in a single quarter. In the third quarter, Raheem played singles in the interior. Liu Mang and Jason Terry opened up the space and the main profit was

It was Liu Mang again. His active movement earned him 5 catch-and-shoot opportunities. He made 4 single shots, making a total of 4 of 9 shots. With two successful breakthroughs, he scored 15 points in a single quarter!

At the end of the third quarter, the Eagles were already leading by more than 30 points, 77-45!

Liu Mang scored 37 points in three quarters, and he scored nearly half of the Eagles' points! Opening up the situation and widening the point difference, Liu Mang became the key to the Eagles' first playoff appearance!

The main thing is that he made 13 of 17 free throws...most of them were obtained in the first half...

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the main players of the Eagles put on their training uniforms after three quarters. The Eagles put on the substitute lineup. Although the Raptors players worked hard to score points in garbage time, they scored 29 points in a single quarter.

, more than the entire first half, but it’s already too late!

The Hawks finally defeated the Raptors 94-74 and won their first victory in the series!
Chapter completed!
