It was just a three-pointer, and Kidd immediately regarded Liu Mang as the most difficult point to deal with.

Kidd is very sure that Liu Mang is the key to the Eagles winning. Jason Terry, Raheem, and Muhammad are the foundation for ensuring the Eagles' lower limit, and Liu Mang is the one who raises the upper limit.

At the beginning, I saw that Rahim was always used as a containment point. Kidd made a decisive choice and changed his defensive strategy. Liu Mang advanced and pressed towards Liu Mang!

Seeing Kidd's defensive changes, the Nets' defense was very coordinated and began to focus on the center.

Rahim came up to pick and roll for Liu Mang. Liu Mang got rid of Kidd and cut into the three-point line. He wanted to pass to Rahim and cut inside. As soon as he passed the ball, he was touched by Richard Jefferson and the ball flew out.

The outside world.

The high pick and roll was predicted!

Fortunately, it was not intercepted.

The ball went out of bounds. The Eagles made substitutions. Jason Terry replaced Prince and Boozer replaced Muhammad. The Eagles needed to strengthen their offense.

When Kittles' impact dropped significantly and he focused on outside shooting, Jason Terry was barely able to handle this defense. After Prince missed the opening three-pointer, the Nets contracted and became more decisive.

Unlike Liu Mang, who was still a big offensive threat even if he didn't score. After Prince didn't score, the opponent chose to let him go decisively. Coach Kruger who was on the sidelines just now clearly saw that Kittles was ready to attack Lashe.

When Mu cuts in, he shrinks in to double-team.

Prince was still too young. When it came to a big game like this, he was basically invisible except for one shot at the beginning, and he was also defended by Kittles who shot two three-pointers.

Eagles sideline kick.

The person who served was Liu Mang. The Nets defended the serve very tightly, constantly going around and engaging in a lot of physical confrontation. Kenyon Martin stood in front of Liu Mang, and Kidd followed Jason Terry and Rat.

Leaf came up to block Kidd for Jason Terry, but failed to create a gap for Jason Terry. Kidd predicted it in advance and went around to grab Jason Terry's clothes.

Even with his wide frame, Treve couldn't stop him. The Eagles didn't have a good chance to catch the ball!

At this time, Liu Mang saw the open space in the middle of the Nets because of the loop, and an idea came to him. He whistled and glanced at the basket. Rahim immediately understood, ran towards the basket, and beat Richard -

Jefferson squeezed out of the way and was free of obstruction.

This scene was discovered by the Nets players. Kenyon Martin, who was blocking Liu Mang's serving route and vision, kept jumping in front of Liu Mang. Mutombo also stood up in front of Rahim. This

By then Liu Mang had already thrown the ball towards the basket!

Seeing Raheem being trapped between Mutombo and Richard Jefferson, the fans at the scene burst into ecstasy. Was this a mistake?

Just as the Nets players rushed in to grab the ball, a man who looked like a bandit emerged from behind Mutombo, stretched out his hand and pushed the falling ball into the basket!

Rahim is just a cover! Rely on Rahim to draw Mutombo out, Boozer's alley-oop!

The Nets players didn't expect that in these short few seconds, Liu Mang could actually hit such a beautiful alley-oop without calling a timeout! And he also cooperated so well that he completely deceived the Nets players! Look at Liu Mang

With Rahim's whistle and eyes, who would have thought that it was another person who scored the real scoring point! Watching Boozer and Liu Mang high-five and return to defense, the Nets felt the pressure from the Hawks.

9 to 13, the score difference returned to within five points!

In fact... even Rahim didn't think that he was just a cover, and he was deceived again, or by his teammates. Rahim was so hurt... Wait, a question came to Rahim's mind, why was it again?

What? When had I ever been deceived by my teammates... uh... it seems like it was more than once.

Forget it, just get used to it, grab rebounds and win! Winning is important! Raheem's self-control ability is good after playing on a bad team for so many years.

Liu Mang returned to the backcourt. He was not sure about the ball just now. If Muhammad was on the court, Liu Mang might have called a timeout. Although Muhammad was active, his offensive intelligence was average, that is,

The tacit understanding between Boozer and Liu Mang could tell that the ball was for him.

The Nets attack. After scoring 13 points in the first 4 minutes, the Nets' offensive efficiency dropped and returned to normal. Kenyon Martin and Kidd ran to the basket after the pick-and-roll and were interfered by Ratliff.

, slipped out of the basket, Mutombo's rebound protection ability was really bad, Boozer chased Kenyon Martin back, and Ratliff interfered with Kenyon Martin's rebound.

, Boozer rushed inside and grabbed a defensive rebound over Mutombo!

The Eagles defended twice in a row!

The Eagles strike back!

Finally, with the Nets now in a chaotic position, the Eagles have a chance to counterattack!

Liu Mang rushed forward. Kidd and Kittles attacked Liu Mang from a double flank and did not give Liu Mang a chance to catch the ball. Boozer really had the mental quality of a star and did not pass the ball to Liu Mang without hesitation.

Instead, he calmly passed the ball to Jason Terry. Jason Terry received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, stopped at the free throw line, and faced the rushing Richard Jefferson to make a jump shot.

!

Richard Jefferson's fierce pursuit knocked Jason Terry to the ground, but Jason Terry had already thrown the ball! At the same time as the referee's whistle sounded, the ball plunged into the basket!

Jets out!

Jason Terry just came off the bench, and just like Boozer, he played a key role when he came up. He made the ball without scoring, and also caused a foul on Richard Jefferson!

In the seventh minute, the Eagles finally had a chance to narrow the point difference to 1 point! In the past three minutes, the Nets did not score a point!

At 11 to 13, Jason Terry had another free throw, which could probably reduce the point difference to 1 point! The Nets' fierce performance at the beginning was not disturbed by the Eagles, who decisively followed the established tactics.

, with timely and correct substitutions, the Eagles caught up!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Coach Byron Scott couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout!

Coach Byron Scott’s head exploded, it happened so suddenly! He felt miserable too! The talent of the Nets is so different from that of the Eagles. The Nets are theoretically better than the Eagles, but

The strength of the Nets is equal to the strength of Kidd. Without Kidd, even if they have one more All-Star like Marbury, they would still be able to get the No. 1 pick. Kidd’s arrival will make the Nets better from the No. 1 pick.

The only reason why his level was directly raised to the overall runner-up level.

Except for Kidd, the Nets don't have a top-level star. Kenyon Martin's ability evaluation is only 84 next to Kidd. He still relies on Kidd to organize the offense to achieve such a performance.

Fortunately, the Nets have almost no top-level stars and many high-quality role players. Coach Scott made a big move and replaced Richard Jefferson with Rodney Rogers.

Sen's performance today was too poor. When he met Raheem, he only had a counterattack on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he was squeezed away by Raheem, causing the Nets to be forced to double-team on the defensive end and lose points several times. This time

Although it was obvious that he could not interfere with Jason Terry before he threw the ball, he still pounced on it and was fouled. Even if Jason Terry did not make the ball, there would be two free throws.

Richard Jefferson is too young. Although he has made rapid progress, he still relies on his body to play before his skills are mature. He will be the same as Richard Jefferson during the future Three Musketeers era of the Nets and the Spurs era.

Mori is too far behind. In the future, he will be an all-around small forward with a three-point shooting percentage of 40%. Now he basically has no shooting. He played 80 games in the regular season and made 7 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 20%.

It all depends on attacking the basket. When the defense is beaten like this, it is basically a side effect on the court. Several of the Eagles' offenses are opened from his point. The Nets' defense also collapsed many times because of his point.

.

In addition to Richard Jefferson, Mutombo was also replaced. Mutombo had a highlight in the sixth game of the last round, but now he is withering again. On the one hand, this is because the Nets do not use the center as the core of defense.

, the defensive system is not centered on Mutombo, but Kidd, Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin are the core defensive combination. On the other hand, Mutombo has indeed declined too seriously. In this half quarter

It took a long time to see that Ratliff couldn't be squeezed out of the blocking position, so he relied on his former defensive power to intimidate people, and his reaction was not as good as before. He was indeed getting old.

As for Kittles... his stability is "scary". It's not because he doesn't work hard, but because of his interest, he has not improved since the suspension. He is indeed very dedicated and hard-working, but he gets 13 or 4 points in every game.

Points, three or four rebounds and two or three assists are already top-notch. Of course, his salary of eight to nine million is already worth every penny.

The Nets still only rely on Kidd, who plays 43 minutes per game. Fortunately, Kenyon Martin has improved a lot this year and can share a lot of pressure.

Now that the official timeout has come, Byron Scott made a small prediction. The Eagles are going to change to a center-less lineup, so they put Kenyon Martin at the center position and Aaron Williams.

Teaming up with Kenyon Martin in the post, Kidd and Lucious Harris at the back, and Rodney Rogers at the small forward.

…

On the bench of the Eagles, just as coach Byron Scott expected, the Eagles replaced Ratliff. The reason why Ratliff cannot become a historical defensive center is because of limited physical fitness, and Muttom

The physical performance of defensive pillars like Bo and Ben Wallace was far behind when they were young.

Of course, this made Ratliff's defensive data per 48 minutes extremely high during his peak period. Last season, he averaged 3.9 blocks in 31 minutes per game. This year, he averaged 3.7 blocks in 27 minutes per game, which is better than Mutombo and Ben.

-Wallace's performance per 48 minutes is too high.

But Ratliff does not have the physical fitness of the two when they were young. Ben Wallace averaged 39 minutes per game this year, and Mutombo, who claimed to be 36 years old, averaged 36 minutes per game last season.

When he was able to play, and when the Hawks had Mike Woodson, an excellent defensive assistant, to build an excellent defensive system, Ratliff's performance was not much worse than the peak performance of Ben Wallace and Mutombo.

, but he could only last more than 20 minutes. This is the difference between a strong defender and a great defender.

Boozer mentioned the center, Rahim went to the power forward, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry partnered on the back line. This arrangement is normal. Rahim's playing time has increased a lot in the playoffs, from averaging 35 minutes per game in the regular season.

The first two rounds were increased to 38 minutes. It is normal for the Eastern Conference finals to be improved a little further. Moreover, in the first half of the first quarter, Rahim was not tired.

But for another candidate at the forward position, the guy who replaced him didn't even expect that he would come on the field at this time!

Matt Barnes!

Coach Kruger replaced Barnes, who only played more than 30 games in the regular season!

Replace with the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Raheem, and Boozer!

…

The official timeout is about to end, the cheerleading team's performance has also left, and the players replaced by both teams have come to the technical stage to touch magnesium powder again.

Seeing Rodney Rogers come up, Liu Mang sighed, sometimes changing a team can really change a person's life.

Rodney Rogers played very well when he was with the Suns. But when he came to the Celtics last year, he immediately fell apart and became the Celtics' most failed robbery.

But when I came to the Nets this year, hey, I don’t know whether it was the Celtics and Rodney Rogers who didn’t get along, or whether Kidd could take off with whoever he played with. After going through the adaptation period in the early and middle seasons, Rodney

Rogers played very well in the second half of the season. He averaged 6 points per game from the beginning of the season to 11 points at the end of the season. If he hadn't played so poorly in the early stage, Liu Mang would have won the Best Sixth Man Award.

Another opponent, Liu Mang and Bobby Jackson are competing, and they still have a slight advantage. If the three of them compete together, Liu Mang, who just won the Best Sixth Man last year, may not necessarily win the Best Sixth Man.
