493. Where is the ball?

After the timeout, the Eagles sent out the strongest lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.

The Kings really used their main force to death. Webber played the whole game at a full rhythm. Bibby, Christie, and Peja also all played 40 minutes. Divac, a veteran, also played more than 30 minutes.

With 5 minutes and 46 seconds left, the Eagles trailed the Kings by 6 points, 91 to 97.

The Eagles had the ball and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt.

Bibby couldn't guard him anymore, so he switched to Christie to guard Liu Mang. Liu Mang had already scored 26 points in the first three quarters.

The Eagles started running normally. Muhammad mentioned the distance from the free throw line and was ready to pick and roll Liu Mang at any time. Rahim pulled to the left corner of the basket to screen and roll Jason Terry.

The normal running tactics of the Eagles were the same tactics that the Kings players saw when they studied the Eagles before the game. However, after seeing such a normal running position, the Kings players did not believe it! Because the Eagles had done this before.

They moved, but they didn't expect the person who finally took the shot.

The Kings didn't know where to put their attention. They always felt like anyone could get the ball and just ignored it.

However, the Hawks really played normally this time. It was not easy for Liu Mang to beat Christie alone. Christie was probably the best defender in the league after Jason Kidd and Kobe Bryant. At this time, Liu Mang did not choose to play hard.

Come on, stability is the main priority, pick and roll, Muhammad comes up to help Liu Mang block Christie.

Pick-and-roll master triggers!

Christie was alert and was ready to quickly bypass the pick-and-roll when Muhammad blocked him. His 90 speed and excellent anticipation were enough to complete this task, but! Liu Mang was like a gust of wind, from

Muhammad passed by, and Christie was blocked by Muhammad. In just half a second, Liu Mang's feet were like stepping on hot wheels. Before Christie could react, he had already rushed in.

Free throw line distance!

It's like popping off a spring!

The Kings were already nervous about the Hawks' blind rushes and wild shots. They were not sure how the Hawks were going to play. When the last official timeout was held just now, it was the Kings.

Defensive assistant coach Thibodeau couldn't think of a solution. There was no solution at all. Because the Eagles would play this tactic at one moment and another team's tactic at another, so Thibodeau's last resort was to watch the defense.

So, Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line, and Divac immediately rushed over to cover. At this time, Rahim just helped Jason Terry block Bibby, turned around and rushed to the basket! Liu Mang immediately scored to Rahim.

With his hands in hand, Rahim rushed towards the basket. Since Webb did not follow Muhammad, he immediately got in front of Rahim. Bibby and Peja, who were originally guarding the pick-and-roll, ran in with Rahim!

Strategy accomplished!

Liu Mang first took advantage of the fact that the Kings' defense was confused and he actually played a pick-and-roll with Muhammad. The Kings hurriedly returned to defense, and Liu Mang passed the ball to Rahim, completely attracting the defense!

Rahim did not force the shot, he jumped up and turned around to pass to Jason Terry, who was completely open to receive the ball from the outside!

A three-point shot hit!

Jason Terry was really strong at the critical moment, hitting a three-pointer to narrow the point difference to three points!

Three points left!

Kings attack!

Bibby advanced to the frontcourt and looked at Rahim, who was guarding him. Bibby really had nothing to do. He was not a physical player, with average speed and average strength. Although he played very hard, he was only good at guarding him.

Whenever he encounters a defender who is taller than him, has better speed and agility than him, and is much stronger than him, he is often defeated. Just like in last year's Western Conference Finals tiebreaker, he was defended by Kobe Bryant 11 times in a row.

It's the same as missing a shot.

Bibby saw Weber blocking Muhammad under the basket again and immediately passed the ball over.

Weber has already gained confidence. He scored 45 points in three and a half quarters, which is already the second highest score in a single game in his career. In addition, the Eagles let him play in isolation throughout the game. He took the ball and half-turned without hesitation to score another one.

Old man singles!

but!

The Hawks suddenly started double-teaming! As soon as Webber turned around, he saw Ratliff taking a step forward to block his path after half-turning, and at the same time raising his arms high to block the connection between him and Divac. Webber

Then he turned around and wanted to withdraw or pass to his teammates, but suddenly he bumped into another person! Webb suddenly found that Rahim was already behind him!

Weber was attacked from both sides!

Although Rahim was slightly smaller than Webber after gaining weight after coming to the Kings, they were both about the same height. Webber was pushed head-on. In addition, Rahim raised his hands to show that he was not pushing, so Webber could not see him turn around at all.

The teammate who was later released by Raheem!

Weber was caught off guard by the Hawks' sudden double-team. He didn't prepare the pass in advance, thinking that he would definitely score. Today, his confidence has been fully demonstrated.

Weber, who was standing on the edge of the three-second zone, was about to attack for three seconds, so he could only forcefully throw the ball towards the basket!

Weber is not an insider with a height advantage. He can be said to be a mini insider. He is only 2.06 meters tall. In addition to his declining physical fitness, he has already taken 30 shots in this game, and he still succeeded in 30 shots, not counting him.

6 out of 8 free throws, this kind of forced shot that was not fully prepared went too far.

Divac saw the ball flying toward him, and his initial fear when he saw Weber was double-teamed and couldn't pass the ball immediately turned into surprise. He could tip-in the ball directly after getting the rebound!

Divac tried his best to use his matchbox-like bounce to jump up for a tip-in!

Seeing his hand getting closer and closer to the ball, just when Divac was ready to use his strength and was about to touch the ball and push it back to the basket, one hand moved faster than him.

Reaching for the ball...

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! No. 1!

The Eagles’ No. 1!

Divac saw the No. 1 passing by and took the ball away!

Liu Mang's key rebound!

After landing, Liu Mang kicked off his left foot and immediately sprinted towards the frontcourt!

The two perimeter players of the Kings immediately returned to defense. Instead of trying to stop Liu Mang from going down quickly, they returned to defense first. Liu Mang dribbled the ball and ran forward. He entered the three-point line almost at the same time as Bibby and Christie, and rushed into the three-point line.

After dividing the line, Bibby and Christie attacked Liu Mang from a flank.

Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line. At this time, Jason Terry and Raheem also rushed over. Peja, who originally chased back and wanted to chase Liu Mang, had to block Jason Terry.

Liu Mang sought stability this time, and did not necessarily need a three-pointer. Seeing Christie in front of his left and Bibby in front of his right, the two were about to form a double-team. Liu Mang took a decisive step and passed Bibby first.

Christie also took a big step to block Liu Mang. Liu Mang then took a step with his right foot towards the right edge of the three-second zone. At the same time, he grabbed the ball with his right hand. Christie stared at Liu Mang's steps and tried to

Determine Liu Mang's intentions in advance when Liu Mang changes direction for the last time.

but……

Christie saw Liu Mang's feet landing at the same time!

Then he turned around and ran away...

what's going on?

Christie watched Liu Mang turn around and run away. Could it be that he passed the ball to his teammates to shoot?

That's not right! Christie looked at Jason Terry who was blocked by Peja, saw Raheem who had just reached the free throw line, and Muhammad who had just stepped on the three-point line, and who didn't come over at all from the backcourt.

Ratliff...where's the ball!

Christie is so confused!

The fans at the scene saw Christie's confused expression after his defense failed. Although most of them were Kings fans, they still couldn't help but want to laugh! This scene is so funny. Christie's honest face, this scene is so funny now.

Funny!

Adelman calls timeout!

1 point left! 96 to 97, the Eagles narrowed the point difference to one point!

At this time, the big screen above the court replayed the wonderful scene just now. When Liu Mang stepped to the right, he grabbed the ball with both hands, but he did not grab the ball with both hands in three strides like ordinary players. He even had a different rhythm than ordinary players.

Different, grab the ball, lift it up and throw the ball towards the basket with the force of the step to the right!

The ball was thrown too suddenly. Christie was still anticipating Liu Mang's change of direction, but who knew that Liu Mang would catch the ball and lay up directly!

Not only do they have the same hands and feet, but they also make such a sudden move that no one could have expected!

Iverson's step-and-hand layup and Dragic's running underhand layup threw Christie around!

After feeling sorry for Christie and feeling funny at the same time, after watching the replay of the score on the big screen, the Kings players and fans realized that something was wrong. After all, the score difference was only 1 point!

The Eagles came up, and the sudden serious style of play made the Kings very uncomfortable. They spent the whole game looking for ways to deal with the Eagles' blind play. Every time they came back from a timeout, the Eagles changed their style of play. The Kings had nothing to do, so they followed.

It was a blind fight. Since the Kings were really evenly matched, the Eagles deliberately pinched one of the Kings' strongest players inside and outside to prevent them from connecting, leaving only one player in singles.

Of course, due to the overall strength of the Kings, the Kings have also been suppressing the Eagles.

As a result, the Eagles suddenly changed back to a serious style of play. The Kings finally kept up with the rhythm of a few random games, but now they couldn't adapt to playing normally!

At this time, the talents of the Kings discovered that the Eagles had been playing with them at a strange rhythm in order to catch them off guard at the last moment and play a style that was completely unexpected!

The Kings players thought about this clearly after returning to the bench, and then they all glared fiercely at Liu Mang, who was high-fiving his teammates opposite him.

Liu Mang felt a wave of malice behind him, and he had experienced that feeling of coldness in his vest many times this year.
