This shameless behavior of calling a timeout was not only considered excessive by the Pistons players, but also a bit "ashamed" by the Hawks players.

After only one minute of play, the opponent scored two three-pointers and immediately called a timeout to interrupt the opponent's rhythm. The last person in the league to do such a thing was Popovich, and the one before that was before he went "crazy"

defensive coach Nelson.

Liu Mang often did this kind of thing in the past two years, but he did it less this year. Unexpectedly, he did it again today.

But otherwise, the coaching staff and teammates really can't adapt.

"Ace, is there any way to limit the opponent's three-pointers?" Mike Woodson asked first.

"Restrictions? Why restrictions? Let them vote." Liu Mang winked and said.

"Let them shoot?...Haha, Ace, yes, let them shoot!" After his team was scored two three-pointers by the Pistons, Mike Woodson was quickly thinking about a response strategy when he heard Liu Mang's words.

Only then did I realize, why should we limit them to three-pointers? Why not let them shoot.

"What do you mean?" Coach Kruger asked, holding the tactical board tightly in his hand. If he was given a little more time and played two more rounds, he would be able to see the riddle played by Liu Mang and Mike Woodson.

, but after all, he is an all-round coach and is good at tactical arrangements, mainly offensive. The temporary first reaction on the defensive end has to rely on assistant coaches.

Liu Mang spread his hands and said, "I can keep hitting three-pointers, can they?"

Seeing Liu Mang becoming more and more arrogant and shameless, Coach Kruger calmed down. Now that he had said that he was doing his job and called a timeout, Coach Kruger helped Liu Mang arrange a three-point strategy.

Call the players to draw together...

…

After the timeout, the lineups of the two teams remained unchanged, with the same ten players playing.

Billups is a little proud now. Except for the first two matches between him and Liu Mang two years ago, starting from last season, Liu Mang never paid that much attention to him when he played against Liu Mang. He even lost face in the beginning.

Calling a timeout to interrupt their touch was done, which made Billups even more excited!

The Eagles continued to play from the backcourt, Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and once again chose to speed up after passing the center line.

It was Hamilton who came up on defense. The Pistons scored two three-pointers in a row. Under the leadership of Ben Wallace, their morale soared. Hamilton defended more actively and had a clearer mind. There was no more surprise, but

Slowly moving laterally, when Liu Mang was close to the three-point line, he saw that Liu Mang was about to speed up again, and then he pressed towards Liu Mang.

Just force Liu Mang to go to the wing. This is a common practice for all teams in the league to defend against breakthrough players. It's just that some teams can do it well and some teams can't, and the Pistons happen to be able to do it well.

Well done team.

Just when Hamilton seized the best opportunity to move laterally and pressed towards Liu Mang, he was blocked!

Rasheed Wallace followed the tactical arrangement and came out to help Liu Mang block Hamilton!

Liu Mang went directly around the pick-and-roll, and before Bosh made the save, he made a three-pointer from the pick-and-roll!

With a very focused and confident shot, Liu Mang's three-pointer hit the basket again!

6 to 6 draw!

"Better than three points? Do you want to do it again?"

Liu Mang didn't even look at Hamilton, who was defending him. Instead, he spoke loudly to Billups and Stephen Jackson, who were just on the same side. While speaking, he folded his arms and spread his hands, shrugging. You can be as arrogant as you want.

Arrogant.

After finishing speaking, Liu Mang turned around and returned to defense.

Sometimes high morale brings not only enthusiasm, but also blood. A famous example is that after Artest dunked on the baseline, when Harden put his head in front of his shoulder, he gave Ha

Climb an elbow.

Billups and Stephen Jackson were already in a state of excitement because of the morale boosted by Ben Wallace, and during the timeout, Ben Wallace kept praising the two of them, making them even more excited.

Have fighting spirit.

Now seeing Liu Mang's arrogant look, they no longer had any fear or worry, they just wanted to do it!

In terms of language, they have nothing to refute Liu Mang. Liu Mang averaged 3.3 three-pointers per game this season, which is a little more than Peja's 3.2 per game. His shooting percentage is also first-rate, 37%.

three-point shooting percentage.

Liu Mang's three-point field goal average per game has almost caught up with the entire Pistons team. Counterattacks with words are not the strengths of Stephen Jackson and Billups. The former is good at using fists, while the latter is a boring gourd.

The verbal counterattack between the two can only be regarded as funny behavior, especially since the other party is one of the most venomous players in the entire NBA.

But the two of them just weren’t happy!

Billups has always been confident in his abilities, especially three-pointers. Even though he almost broke Jordan's three-point contest record, he is confident. If he hadn't always maintained this confidence, he would have been wandering.

He was beaten to the point of being reduced to an ordinary player in his career, and his average three-pointers per game, which ranked 30th in the league, gave him enough confidence!

Stephen Jackson was abused by Liu Mang when he first entered the NBA. He was very afraid of Liu Mang's power when he dunked on him. But now, with Biao's three-pointer, he doesn't have to defend Liu Mang. His confidence

I came up because of Ben Wallace’s encouragement!

Just do it!

The Pistons attacked, and Billups continued to press the rhythm and advance to the frontcourt. To his surprise, it was not Prince who defended him, but Liu Mang!

This made Billups surprised and excited. The reason for surprise is that there is no doubt that Prince is the strongest perimeter defender on the Eagles. No matter how good Liu Mang's defense is, it cannot compare to the talent brought by Prince's excellent hardware conditions.

Defensive advantage, so starting from this season, the Eagles' first defensive option on the outside has become Prince, which is something that other teams in the league know.

It was Liu Mang's turn to defend. Billups obviously felt that the pressure was much less. It was too difficult to shoot a three-pointer against Prince's defense. He was ready to use a pick-and-roll or pass to Stephen Jackson for a single first.

Now, the Pistons have the most advantage in singles, but it is Stephen Jackson versus Raheem. As Liu Mang and Prince's defense becomes stronger and stronger, especially this season, Prince's defense is due to rules issues and

The general environment of the league has become better, and Raheem's greater role is reflected in the connection of internal and external defense, so he plays more tiringly, which is also the reason why he has not played many offensive roles.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But to fight Liu Mang, Billups felt that it was just right! He just wanted hard steel!

Due to the improvement in morale, Billups became more confident! He moved his steps to find Liu Mang's defensive gap.

Liu Mang was overjoyed when he saw that Billups didn't break through. If Billups didn't get inside, he wouldn't be able to form a connection with Hamilton. Relying on Hamilton's movement alone wouldn't be of much use, and the opponent wasn't the same.

Fool, are you watching Hamilton running out of position to catch the ball? When the ball holder stands still, other defenders only need to cut off the passing and receiving routes of the ball holder and other opponents. Billups must also break through and attract him away.

Only part of the defense disrupts the defense.

Now Billups is dribbling outside the three-point line, just like Liu Mang!

Liu Mang stared at Billups closely, trying to judge Billups' next move.

But Billups is a magical player, giving people the impression of being mature and stable, but when it comes to shooting... it needs to be as rough as possible!

Liu Mang was still trying to predict Billups' next move. Billups aimed at the basket and took a direct shot!

Liu Mang didn't even react. The ball had already flown out of Billups' hands. Moreover, Billups' touch was really good today. He continued to have the touch that he could score despite Prince's defense.

It grazed the basket and made a hollow hit!

In one and a half minutes, the Pistons had already scored 9 points!

This is simply too exaggerated for the Pistons' offense!

According to the Pistons' scoring ability, it's amazing that they can score two points in one minute. Although this season has brought in two scorers, Stephen Jackson and Bosh, and Larry Brown.

The offense is not worse than last season, because the isolation ability has become stronger, but the average has only reached 90 points per game, and it may fall below 90 points after scoring low points in a few consecutive games.

With such a start today, the fans at the Pistons were frightened, and then everyone at the scene was shouting

Screw the ice-phobia, screw the ornithophobia, screw Ace Liu! The Pistons chanted for Chauncey, and Billups also excitedly retreated quickly while spreading his hands to guide.

The cheers of the fans.

The Big Ben field is really troublesome. With a short center with top physical fitness like Ben Wallace, the Pistons retreated so fast that it gave their opponents a headache. Liu Mang didn't even try to counterattack. The Pistons were very aggressive against the run-and-gun team.

The innate suppression is too strong, even stronger than the Spurs.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced slowly. He was really surprised by Billups's style of play! He felt that he was already promiscuous enough, but now compared with this guy, he actually played so honestly! At least he had to think about it.

To create an open opportunity for a three-pointer, this guy just takes the ball and does it!

You have to be more careful! Although Billups or Stephen Jackson start to make reckless shots, which is their own defensive strategy, but if they really get excited about shooting and keep making shots, then it is not

It’s a defensive tactic, but it’s your own fault!

However, this can be regarded as the painful period of tactical success!

The next thing that is more critical for Liu Mang is to make the ball! Continuing this kind of star-to-star competition is a link that the Pistons should not have appeared in the first place.

As soon as Liu Mang started to advance, he heard Larry Brown in front of the technical stage next to him spraying wildly at the Pistons players on the court, telling them to defend well.

"This stubborn old man." Liu Mang slandered, this guy is really the kind of guy who doesn't care whether he plays well or poorly on the offensive end, and will scold others as long as he doesn't defend well.

This just gave Liu Mang the opportunity to plan and break the Pistons' fighting spirit this time! Because no matter how strong Billups is, Larry Brown never said that Billups was not good, even if Billups made an overall shot.

The rate is only over 30%, but as long as the defense is not good, he will spray wildly.

After halftime, Liu Mang immediately concentrated. The Pistons players were scolded by Larry Brown, and the originally high morale became even higher because Billups hit another three-pointer, and the defense became more active!

Liu Mang came to the top arc and Hamilton immediately followed him.

If he wants to break through, Hamilton will definitely not be able to stop him, but what Liu Mang wants now is a three-pointer!

Liu Mang continued to look for Rasheed Wallace to pick and roll. Rasheed Wallace came to block Hamilton. Liu Mang just used Rasheed Wallace's pick and roll to move past the two of them. Bosh, the tall and thin man,

The poor version of Garnett came out and became extremely active on the defensive end! The difference between Bosh and Liu Mang's impression is that his defense is more active and better than that of him who grew up with the Raptors. Sure enough,
