Taking advantage of the star card effect in the last few minutes of the first half, Liu Mang scored 5 points and 1 assist, raising his statistics to 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

There has always been a player on the team who scored 20 5 5 at halftime. Normally, the team should be in great shape.

Of course, the Eagles are indeed in great shape.

After only scoring 7 points in the first seven minutes of the first quarter, they fought hard to score 15 points in the next five minutes, 22 points in the first quarter, 35 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, and 57 points in the half.

But the opposing Nets scored 29 points in the first quarter, 33 points in the second quarter, and 62 points at halftime!

Kidd had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, a near triple-double at halftime!

Kidd's scoring performance is not as good as Liu Mang's, and he may never be able to match Liu Mang's scoring performance in his rookie season, but having 5 more assists is not just as simple as allowing his teammates to score 10 points or at most 15 points.

He made a long pass with one hand, and his teammates passed the second pass to score. He didn't assist, but he controlled the rhythm and revitalized the Nets!

If Liu Mang can maintain his form throughout the first half, it's hard to say who will win in this game. In the end, it will be a matter of who can control the situation to the end, Liu Mang or Kidd.

But in the last half minute of the first half, the effect of Liu Mang's star card was over!

Liu Mang came on the field with the idea that he could defeat the Raptors and Pistons. Who knew that he would be able to compete with Kidd or even not have any advantage, just like the 2002-03 Eastern Conference Finals and the Pistons.

The team has Ben Wallace, Billups, Hamilton, Clifford Robinson and rookie Prince all having their heads shaved by the Nets.

Kidd relies on his personal field control and organizational skills to improve the performance of his teammates by more than one level!

If Liu Mang waits until the second half to use the star card, it will be even worse. Maybe it won’t be time for him to use the star card, and the team will collapse!

At this time, his teammates didn't know Liu Mang's deep sense of despair, and they all pointed at Liu Mang's performance.

Although Raheem is a top star, he is a comprehensive player, scoring, rebounding and defense. So far in his career, his lowest rebound season has never been less than 7, and it was still his rookie season.

Rahim is very comprehensive in singles inside, but it is definitely impossible to win by relying on him to score. Occasionally, he will break out and score 40 or 50 in a single game. But under normal circumstances, even if he is in good condition, he will only score more than 30 points. In the playoffs,

For a defensive team like the Nets, scoring 30 points is considered impressive, not to mention that today they were severely restricted by Kidd and Kenyon Martin's defensive rotation.

Terry's pull-up jump shot that he was good at was not very effective under Kittles' defense. Most of his 15 points in the half came from Raheem's point shots and chasing three-pointers in counterattacks.

The Eagles pointed at Liu Mang to open up the situation!

…

The second half of the game started quickly. Liu Mang was anxious throughout the intermission. When it was time to go on the court again, he heard the cheers of the fans and took a look at the beautiful senior girl who was about ten rows behind the technical table.

With the figures of Lolita and the beautiful landlord, Liu Mang looked at the top of the Eastern Conference regular season banner above the court and slowly calmed down.

Isn't it just the worst situation? Since it is the worst situation, can it be worse?

In this case, let’s fight!

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Terry, Raheem, Nubel, and Muhammad.

The Nets sent Kidd, Kittles, Jefferson, Van Horn, and Kenyon Martin.

At this anxious moment, both teams replaced most of their main players, except for the big center.

Since the Nets won the jump ball at the beginning of the game, the Eagles took the lead in the third quarter.

Liu Mang advanced with the ball, and his teammates consciously pulled away.

Liu Mang continues to play singles and wants to score more points! At least the offensive threat must be maintained.

Jefferson looked at the strongest player in his class in front of him. His despair was deeper than Liu Mang's despair at halftime. But they were leading. Kidd said, just try your best to defend. It's not his fault if you can't defend.

, so Jefferson is still very focused on defending Liu Mang.

Liu Mang accelerated his breakthrough again. Now Jefferson's defense was no longer close to Liu Mang. When Liu Mang made a breakthrough move, he immediately turned around and ran, trying to predict Liu Mang's breakthrough position in advance, although it was very likely that he would break through immediately.

It was knocked away, but at least it gave the inside line some time to make up defense.

But this time Liu Mang retreated directly and fired a three-pointer!

In the first half, Liu Mang only tried one three-point shot, but found that it was not very accurate and missed it. However, in the second half, the effect of the skill card ended, Liu Mang's bench gangster was triggered, and the three-pointer returned to his standard.

Liu Mang shot this ball very decisively and resolutely, and hit the target!

60 to 62, only two points behind!

The two-point difference is not hopeless! Liu Mang cheered himself up.

Liu Mang's attack surprised the Nets, but Kidd immediately picked up the ball and served. The Nets' third-line fast break!

The two arrows of Kenyon Martin and Jefferson provided cover for Kittles and attracted the defense. The Eagles quickly returned to defense. When Jefferson received the ball in the frontcourt, he and Kenyon Martin were blocked by Muhammad.

De, Nubel, and Raheem blocked it, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry also blocked Kittles.

But! The Nets then followed up with Van Horn who was slow to follow up. Jefferson gave it to Van Horn who followed up to the top of the three-point line. The Nets, who were also crazy offensively today, felt hot. Van Horn

En hit a three-pointer to return Liu Mang's three-pointer just now.

That’s what it feels like!

Liu Mang felt the feeling that he was not at a disadvantage and had been chasing points, but he was being pressed step by step. If they scored, the other side would score! If they broke out, the other side would break out. The Nets did not have the ability to make the final decision.

The offensive ability completely opened up the score difference, but it was this feeling of constantly suppressing the Eagles and not allowing them to breathe, which made Liu Mang feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Mang felt this feeling in the last few minutes of the first half, Kidd's super control ability! He doesn't have teammates like Nash during the Suns, nor does he have Nash's scoring ability, but one thing he is stronger than Nash is

His field control ability!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the Nets scored, they immediately returned to defense, and then the Hawks attacked again. After Liu Mang advanced, he found that the opponent had changed defenders, and Kidd came up to defend Liu Mang.

, Kidd very keenly discovered that Liu Mang wanted to start from three-pointers in the second half. Although Jefferson's defense was already very good, Kidd knew that Jefferson had been frightened by Liu Mang and flew away at a moment's notice.

As soon as it breaks out, retreat.

Although Kidd didn't know that Liu Mang no longer had the ability to break through in the second half, in the third quarter, Kidd regarded this quarter as the final game and prepared to defend Liu Mang personally, limiting Liu Mang to outside the three-point line.

, is a greater threat than letting him hit the basket, and Liu Mang's ability from beyond the three-point line is also outstanding. He scored 10 three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs just ten days ago, so Kidd defended it himself.

As for Raheem, Jefferson can't guard him, but it doesn't matter.

Just like now, Liu Mang saw Kidd guarding him and immediately passed the ball to Rahim. Rahim squeezed into the basket and scored two points with a throw, but the Nets immediately counterattacked. Van Horn

He immediately picked up the ball and passed it to Kidd, who was one step inside the three-point line. The rest of the Nets quickly went down again. Kittles counterattacked and dunked to score two points.

Kidd's control of the field continues!

No one in the Hawks can compete, or in other words, no player in the Eastern Conference can compete with Kidd!

The combination of Kidd's offensive control and Scott's defensive system has become the strongest team in the Eastern Conference in the past two years!

…

Liu Mang worked hard in the second half, made breakthroughs and scored three-pointers, and even caused a foul at the basket.

But it lacked the impact of the first half. The Hawks gradually lost their ability to compete with the Nets, and were gradually defeated by the Nets' overwhelming dominance on both ends of the offense and defense.

.

As the game continued, the Eagles fell behind by ten points, and the mood of the fans at the scene began to gradually sink.

However, Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry were unwilling to admit defeat, and Muhammad was not willing to just admit defeat, and kept working hard.

But it was still suppressed.

After three quarters, the Eagles were 14 points behind 79 to 93.

In the fourth quarter, they still wanted to fight. Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry almost didn't take much rest since they came on the field. Liu Mang was okay and could take physical potions, while Raheem and Terry both

We have reached the end of our strength.

Unlike Kidd's side, no matter which teammate he replaces, as long as he can run and dunk, he can take off. The Hawks' offense relies on three Hawks.

Seeing Rahim sweating all over and having no strength yet still hitting the basket again and again, seeing Liu Mang not knowing why he couldn't get angry in the second half, but still trying hard to shoot three-pointers and create damage at the basket.

Terry wanted to use pull-up jumpers again and again to deal with opponents who were more than ten centimeters taller than him.

The fans at the scene, who were originally depressed due to being behind by a big score at home, gradually became more excited and cheered for the players.

However, in the end, the Eagles were unable to comeback, 101 to 113, and the Eagles suffered a loss at home!

Liu Mang scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Raheem had 26 points and 9 rebounds, and Terry had 25 points.

Except for these three brothers, others also tried their best, but these three brothers could not open up the situation in the second half, and their teammates did not play a big role. If role players want to score, most of them can only use stars to attract the defense.

When the stars are unable to score, they will naturally have fewer scoring opportunities...

…

…

How did the Lakers beat the Nets to sweep the Nets? Liu Mang kept thinking about this question after returning to his apartment after physical therapy.

After the little Lolita and Alexia played the game, Levia drove Alexia back first. When Liu Mang got home, Dinah, the little Lolita, was waiting for Liu Mang to get home. Sometimes the little Lolita was really

He was very sensible. He originally wanted to complain to Liu Mang, but seeing that Liu Mang was frustrated and a little anxious, he comforted Liu Mang instead and then went upstairs to sleep without disturbing Liu Mang.

Liu Mang's previous impression of the Nets was that although they were the strongest team in the Eastern Conference in the past two years, another impression was that they were swept by the Lakers and had no power to fight back.

But now that I think about it, they still have six finals to play against the Spurs!

It took six games before the Spurs beat the Nets. That year, the Nets defeated the Spurs in the second away game. If it weren't for Kenyon Martin contracting the flu in the fifth game, the Nets would have lost the battle at Tianwangshan. In fact, the final

It’s hard to say whether we will win or lose.
