Liu Mang made 2 of 3 shots in the first quarter and scored 5 points and 7 assists.

Raheem scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting, and with Rasheed Wallace's defense and air-cut scoring, the Eagles beat the Nets 27-22 in the first quarter!

To say that the Nets' perimeter trio is the Big Three, the Hawks' lineup, Liu Mang, Raheem, and Rasheed Wallace can also be regarded as the Big Three, but no one thinks so.

Because it's not as sensational as Carter teaming up with Kidd.

However, judging from the performance of the two teams on both offense and defense in the first quarter, isn't this a battle between the Big Three and the Big Three?

The only difference is that the Eagles' defense is the foundation, with Liu Mang as the core ball-handler, Rasheed Wallace, and Prince taking the ball. If none of the three have a chance, they will pass it to the other two vacancies.

Players, because none of the three have a chance, there must be at least four people from the opponent guarding the three of them, and there must be at least one free teammate.

The Big Three of the Nets play very one-dimensionally. Kidd is not used to attacking in a position without an inside line. If he runs and plays, Carter and Richard Jefferson will counterattack. In his opinion, it is the same as Richard Jefferson.

There is no difference between Ferson's counterattack and Kenyon Martin's, but they are faster and better.

But when he got into position, he was a bit confused with such a lineup.

The main reason is that the time they played together was too short. When they played against other teams, they chose the simplest, easiest and very suitable style of play for the three of them, which was run and gun. However, when they encountered the Eagles, they forcibly lowered their rhythm and

Kidd cannot control a team with extremely high offensive and defensive stability.

It’s not that Kidd doesn’t have strong organizational skills, it’s that no matter how strong a player is, he must have teammates who are suitable for him!

Nash also needs Marion or Stoudemire to run the pick-and-roll, not to mention Kidd, who is a poor individual offensive player.

Throughout Kidd's career, the only one who could best display his strength as a partner with him was Kenyon Martin, and no one else could.

As time went by, Jason Kidd, one of the Nets' Big Three, became the pitcher, and instead it was Carter and Richard Jefferson. It felt like Carter and Tracy McGrady, as if the Nets had become the Raptors again.

, the "Twin Stars" plus a pitcher and two offensive interior players.

As for the Eagles' offense, Liu Mang, Rasheed Wallace, and Raheem each showed their current characteristics. Rasheed Wallace's air cuts and space expansion, Liu Mang's

Breakthrough points, Rahim's mid-range shots, offensive rebounds and second passes showed the Nets the correct way of opening up the Big Three!

…

During the break, the Eagles began to make substitutions.

The five major players of the Hawks played the whole quarter. Because the playing rhythm was very slow, Ratliff didn't have to spend much time. He just stood under the basket and intimidated, forcing the Nets to take shots from mid-to-long distances. If it weren't for the Nets' three

The Giants' open shots were really accurate today, and the points difference had already been widened by the Hawks.

The Eagles made a large-scale rotation. Stockton, Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown came on the court. Except for Prince, who had to guard Carter, everyone else was replaced.

Liu Mang mainly focused on organizing offense in the first quarter, because the Nets were very strict on his scoring. Even if he passed several assists, the opponent still focused on preventing him from scoring, so Rahim and Rashid -

Wallace has so many easy scoring opportunities.

Liu Mang's threat is too great for the Nets! Even if Liu Mang clearly wants to attract defensive passes, the Nets have to double-team him.

But Liu Mang didn't feel bad at all. His 7 assists in a single quarter broke his personal assist record in a single quarter. The main reason is that the team leads the Nets, which is the most important thing.

Stockton was about to play, and the cheers rang out again. The veteran All-Star was here! His opponent was Kidd, who was making vicious remarks in private. The fans at the scene were very excited.

Similarly, several of Stockton's substitutes and Prince, who have great respect for Stockton, all wanted to rotate the lineup in the second quarter to give the Nets a run for their money.

Seeing Stockton expressionless, seemingly calm and ready to play, Liu Mang felt Stockton's hidden anger.

Liu Mang opened the system space and looked at the two "treasure" props, a high-level manic potion and two ordinary manic potions. Now these things are very precious, and the chance of getting them is extremely low. Although

It is not as rare as the "out of print" high-end alienation cards that can no longer be drawn and only one is left, but Liu Mang has not drawn any mania potion this season, which is enough to prove the rarity of this thing.

However, the manic potion does not seem to have much effect on Liu Mang himself. The main effect of this drug is to make the target enter a manic state in a short period of time. It mainly improves physical fitness and has serious side effects. Liu Mang does not have physical problems.

, there is no need to be manic, he himself is quite manic, and he needs to calm down.

So although this thing is very precious and looks very effective, for Liu Mang himself, it is quite useless.

"Advanced manic potion: consumes a lot of physical energy, and the subject will enter a manic state within a short period of time. If the subject has a strong will, the thinking will be less affected, and the physical energy will reach its peak. The duration and side effects will depend on the physical condition. (Note)

:Cannot be used on hostile targets.)"

It's much stronger than ordinary manic potions! Ordinary manic potions can't control the brain, but advanced ones are powerful, without a big negative effect.

"System boss" Liu Mang asked: "How long can Stockton use this to be effective? How big are the side effects?"

"Ding... After calculation, John Stockton's physical condition is far better than that of his peers. He is in excellent physical condition. The use of advanced manic potion can last for half an hour. The side effect is that he will fall into a weak state within 5 days after the game."

The side effects are much stronger than the ordinary manic medicine that severely weakens people, and the side effects in 5 days are also lower than the side effects in a week for normal players. Stockton's physical condition is really maintained very well, and Liu Mang has to admire it.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After 5 days of overdrafted physical fitness, half an hour is almost the peak performance of a game?

Liu Mang knows how good Stockton is. What has affected his strength in recent years is not injuries and technical decline, but mainly physical fitness!

Anyway, the next two consecutive back-to-back games, four games in five days, Stockton will most likely not play the next few games, it will take a long time!

"My dear teacher, although you don't give me a car to give you a perfect, kind, righteous, and once-in-a-century apprentice, your apprentice still loves you very much. Go ahead, Pikachu, and kill Kid!"

Liu Mang finished reciting these words silently in his mind and said to the system: "Use Advanced Manic Advanced, target Stockton!"

Stockton felt that there was a fiery gaze staring at him. He couldn't help but look for the guy staring at him. When he turned around, he saw that it was the somewhat shameless eldest apprentice. He saw that the eldest apprentice's eyes were full of hope.

Stockton's eyes felt very warm. He nodded towards Liu Mang, then walked onto the court and took a deep breath... The old man was going to risk his life!

He said nothing and had no expression on his face, but he was angrier than anyone else!

A rookie on the Suns team who he had teased all those years ago actually stepped on his head!

…

After the interval, the two teams rotated their lineups.

Stockton took the field with sixth man Jason Terry, defensive engineer three-point shooter Prince, a poor version of Marlon Boozer, and resurgent No. 1 draft pick Kwame Brown who was willing to do all the dirty work.

The Nets are still lagging behind. These days, the stars have to do as much work as they get paid. Originally, the three Big Three average playing time of about 40 minutes per game. Especially Richard Jefferson, who has only played 40 minutes per game this season.

Each played 42 minutes.

Except for Richard Jefferson, who was very tired in the first quarter and had to run around and cut and guard Liu Mang, and took a rest, Kidd and Carter continued to play, bringing Kittles, Aaron...

Williams and future human victory cigar Brian Scalabrine enter.

Kenyon Martin, a physical monster, was traded away, the Nets' interior rotation was completely destroyed, and Scalabrine entered the regular rotation.

The point difference is only 5 points. If Kidd wants to catch up with the point difference when rotating the lineup, it is best to overtake. Although their lineup is suppressed by the Hawks, it is not suppressed too badly. The offensive firepower of the three major perimeters is still

It's quite sufficient, especially today when I feel good. Kidd feels that he has a chance to compete with the Hawks. The key lies in the opponent's rotation of the lineup. If he doesn't grasp this stage well, the game will be decided here.

.

In the second quarter, the Nets took the lead in attacking. Kidd advanced to the frontcourt with firm belief, hoping to take advantage of the opponent's lineup's inability to control the rhythm and seize this opportunity to hit the Hawks hard.

But as soon as Kidd advanced beyond the three-point line, he saw the old man on the opposite side who had "stealed" his All-Star position aggressively rushing forward to defend him!

Normally Stockton rarely defends like this, and physical fitness is a big problem, but today he felt full of energy, and there was an emotion in his mind that infinitely amplified his hatred for Kidd. Seeing Kidd advance, he

I couldn't bear it any longer and defended Kidd!

Stockton has a lot of little moves, and he is very good at avoiding the referee's sight. He uses all kinds of little moves towards Kidd.

Stockton's insidious style of play made Kidd feel like he had gone back to the years when he played in the Western Conference and met Stockton.

When Stockton met Kidd in those years, Kidd's nine-year, 60 million rookie contract was more than double Stockton's entire career salary at that time, and for him

Extremely targeted.

Kidd suddenly seemed to have seen Stockton at that time!

In a moment of carelessness, Kidd was caught by Stockton, and Stockton stole the ball from Kidd!

Kidd made a mistake! He came to his senses and quickly retreated. Stockton was not in a hurry. With his strong will, he suppressed the desire to counterattack at this moment, grabbed the ball and controlled it.

Advance steadily to the frontcourt and wait for your teammates to get into position.

Kidd was very angry about being intercepted just now. He has fled the West for so many years. This old man is almost 42 years old, and he still wants to bully him like before?

Stockton is no longer the Stockton he used to be, and without Malone, Kidd is no longer the same Kidd he used to be. He is the No. 1 point guard in the league!

Kidd was very angry. He wanted to beat up Stockton and prove that Stockton was not worthy of the All-Stars, but he was!

Seeing Kidd pressing up, Stockton stuck out his butt to protect the ball. He felt that his physical condition was unexpectedly good, but the physical fitness of the 42-year-old was a big problem. He was surprised by Kidd or faced Kidd's defense.

It's not reliable, so follow the tactics, take a step back, and break to the left!

Kidd predicted the direction of Stockton's breakthrough and immediately moved sideways to the right, but! Boozer blocked Kidd!

Stockton used Boozer's pick-and-roll, and before Aaron Williams switched defense, Stockton directly shot a three-pointer!

He was very determined. Boozer, who was so determined to pick and roll with him, didn't even think about it, because Stockton usually uses his own shooting threat to create opportunities for his teammates. Unexpectedly, Stockton just shot!

There was no interference at all, Stockton hit the three-pointer almost as if he was open!

After Stockton hit a three-pointer and high-fived Boozer, the Hawks quickly defended.

Boozer does not need to deliberately pick and roll for him to come. On the offensive end, he is given extremely high freedom. When he feels the opportunity comes, he can pick and roll. Sometimes the people guarding him do not notice him doing it.

The pick-and-roll was off, giving the Hawks a two-on-one opportunity on the outside. Of course, as Boozer became more and more famous for his pick-and-roll, no one noticed him much less than last season.

If the team's tacit understanding is not enough, he may affect the team's offense. For example, Stockton and Liu Mang are not in those two games. He has no role except singles and rebounding. Instead, he has many side effects, and he

Originally, the Cavaliers were trained in the direction of face-up singles players. From the beginning in the Hawks, he was trained as a pick-and-roll player.
