Chapter 852 851. Suppressing the Newcomers Ace-Liu

Tracy McGrady is the starting point of the tactics, Liu Mang is the end point of the tactics and the second passing point, the core of the Hawks' small ball style is here.

As the small ball style has been played for almost a month, the two have become more and more tacit, especially in this game with a burning desire for revenge, both of them are very focused and more and more unrestrained.

The characteristic of small ball is that the more unrestrained, the smoother the play! Otherwise, it will be like playing against the Magic, no matter how you play, it will be uncomfortable.

Liu Mang scored 11 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading by 18 points 30 to 12 in the first quarter, and the Hawks played a brutal start.

The Bulls were going crazy in the second quarter. They were full of confidence, but now they were suppressed and they were very unhappy and unwilling.

They felt that they were no worse than the Hawks! They found confidence when they won the Hawks last time, and the media's comments made them more blind. Now they are suppressed by the Hawks. The first time they were not surprised, the continued emotion was unwilling!

Moreover, it was mainly because they felt too embarrassed!

The Hawks did not accept any interviews before the game, and the Bulls players were very confident that they could beat the Hawks again.

Now the Bulls players feel their faces are burning!

Unwilling, unhappy, slapped in the face... The Bulls started to play rough defense in the second quarter.

The Bulls sent out a lineup of Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Harrington, and Chandler.

The Hawks replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown, and also started rough defense.

It felt like the playoffs!

Due to the previous incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the referee's whistle scale was raised. The two teams committed fouls in the second quarter. The Hawks mainly had two rookies, and their excited defense led to many fouls. The Bulls were all young people, and there were more fouls. The second quarter was fragmented.

The Hawks' substitutions were just right for this style of play. Liu Mang and Jason Terry went to the free throw line in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Hawks scored 23 to 13 in a single quarter.

At the end of the first half, the Hawks led the Bulls by 28 points with a score of 53 to 25! The Bulls only scored 25 points in the first half!

They didn't give the Bulls a chance to get back on track! Liu Mang scored 24 points in the first half, just a little bit more than the Bulls' total score.

…

After the start of the second half, the Hawks continued to maintain a focused style of play, with quick substitutions. Anyone who was a little tired was replaced, and the others played hard when they had the chance to play. The offense was secondary. The Bulls' defense was also very strong. Except for the 12-0 wave at the beginning of the first quarter, the defense was actually very good afterwards.

The Hawks played a fast-conversion offense, but it was completely different from running and gunning in essence. Defense is the core!

The Hawks didn't give the Bulls a chance to turn the tables by using Eddy Curry's absolute singles advantage.

Using fast rotation defense is useless against O'Neal, but it is very useful for Eddy Curry!

Eddy Curry may have the offensive power of O'Neal, but his passing is not at the same level as O'Neal. When he encounters double-teaming, he will only pass to the empty space, and he does not have the ability of O'Neal to use double-teaming to mobilize the opponent's defense. It can be seen from the average assists per game. O'Neal is a player who averages 3+ assists per game all year round. In the MVP season, in addition to averaging 29.7 points and 13.6 rebounds per game, he also has 3.8 assists. The scoring and rebounding are very impressive, but the most terrifying thing is his passing! When such a big fat man needs double-teaming, he can pass the ball reasonably. It's too exaggerated.

Eddy Curry has been four years, and he has never averaged more than 1 assist per game in a season. So far this season, he has averaged 0.6 assists per game.

Eddy Curry was very confident at the beginning, but he was mobilized to be more active by Liu Mang and Kwame Brown, and then he was targeted by the Eagles. In the second half, Eddy Curry was already confused!

Eddy Curry played very actively today, but there was also a problem. His physical fitness could not keep up in the second half of the third quarter!

130 kg brings him super strong inside dominance on the offensive end, but he does not have O'Neal's brain. After O'Neal weighed more than 140 kg, he basically played two singles in a quarter, mainly relying on his offensive threats to play the game. And there is another point. O'Neal has a little blacksmith passing, Eddy Curry and his teammates basically have no cooperation. His pick-and-roll ability is much better than O'Neal, but he is too lazy to use it.

Just too lazy to use it! He is such an alternative player.

In the second half of the third season, Eddy Curry could not run anymore, and Coach Skiles had to replace him with Chandler.

With Eddy Curry gone, the Bulls' biggest threat on the offensive end was gone. Ben Gordon could have relied on the threat brought by Eddy Curry in the interior and scored with singles, but now, the Hawks' defense rotation is faster!

Especially Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace, there is no need to worry about the interior defense. Chandler, Harrington, and Kwame Brown are enough to guard the basket alone!

Eddy Curry and Chandler went berserk when they met Kwame Brown, and Kwame Brown was the same! Even if he was a blue-collar worker on the run, he had no complaints and honestly did his blue-collar work.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Bulls, who played well in the first half and scored 11 points, only scored 3 points in the last 5 minutes! It was Chandler's tip-in that made a 2+1, and the outside line was completely locked!

The Hawks' offense in the third quarter also played better, scoring 27 points in a single quarter!

Liu Mang finished the three quarters. Relying on McGrady's excellent offensive ability and investing a lot of energy on the defensive end, Liu Mang had the easiest opportunity to choose shots and passes on the offensive end. He scored 37 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in the three quarters. ! McGrady scored 9 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Jason Terry had 5 points and 3 assists, and Kwame Brown had 10 points and 14 rebounds, leading the Hawks to an 80-38 lead. After three quarters, they led the Bulls by 42 points!

…

The Eagles lose face by beating the Bulls.

Jason Terry and Calderon came on in the fourth quarter, and Ariza, Josh Smith, and Muhammad came on.

Ariza and Josh Smith are inferior, but they have good physical fitness and high enthusiasm. Muhammad has unlimited energy when he comes up, whether he is playing garbage time or regular time.

I didn't plan to give the Bulls a chance to narrow the score today. They only scored 5 points in 13 minutes in the first three quarters. Jason Terry, who mainly passed the ball to Liu Mang, started to throw the ball in the fourth quarter. In garbage time, Jason - Terry didn't feel it was a loss of face at all. In the last quarter, the Bulls had already started to "roll around" on defense. Jason Terry played more and more vigorously when faced with this kind of defense, even more fiercely than in the first three quarters! Constantly switching between offense and defense, Jason Terry scored 22 points in a single quarter, leading the Eagles to widen the point difference to 60 points with 40 seconds left before the end of the game!

As the Bulls' substitute Nocioni almost ran out of 24 seconds of attack time, he casually made a mid-range shot as if he wanted to finish the game quickly and go home. This was the only time the Bulls scored in a single quarter in this game. More than 20 points, 21 points in a single quarter.

When Liu Mang saw that Jason Terry wanted to throw one more, he quickly shouted: "Jason, 58 is enough!"

Jason Terry didn't know why Liu Mang was always obsessed with 58 points, but he had enough and stopped playing.

The Bulls were so focused that the Eagles played in the finals that they didn't know how to play anymore!

They impressed the Eagles in the second half of their last meeting and felt they had a chance.

When they found themselves being beaten, especially when they were angry, unwilling, and desperate, the other party beat them even angrier and more desperate, and continued to beat them without letting up from the beginning to the end. It was not at all as exciting as the last time they fought. Any playful mentality.

Such an Eagles team allowed the Bulls to see the real gap between them and the top teams in the league!

Eddy Curry stood on the sidelines. He only took 16 successful shots today. He scored 15 points and 3 rebounds on 7 of 16 shots. He has always been very poor in rebounding. His best year was last season when he averaged 6 rebounds in 30 minutes per game. Rebounds are worthy of his size, but what he values ​​​​is not rebounds, but scoring. He was guarded to death!

When Kwame Brown saw Eddie Curry's dejected look, he decided to add insult to injury. The game was about to end, and the reporters on the sidelines also began to take action to prepare for interviews. Kwame Brown came to the technical table and approached Eddie. -Curry's position.

The TV reporter immediately pointed the camera and radio at them.

Kwame Brown came closer and said, without suppressing his voice this time: "I told you, Ace is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!"

…

Only two people from the Bulls scored in double figures, Ben Gordon scored 13 points, Eddie Curry scored 15 points, and everyone else was locked up!

The Eagles spent the remaining 19 seconds. Jason Terry led the Eagles to a 37-21 score in the final quarter. The Eagles scored 117-59, slaughtering the Bulls with 58 points!

The person who was most tired from playing today was none other than Tracy McGrady.

He tried his best to organize the offense and sent the best pass to Liu Mang. When Liu Mang was flanked, he sent the best pass to other players. On the defensive end, he also tried his best to play for more than two quarters and still had to Suppressing the sense of relaxation caused by the large point difference makes it even more tiring. The key is that today’s teammates played too selflessly. After receiving the ball, their teammates had a better chance to pass the ball. McGrady organized the offense so carefully and played Only got 5 assists in three quarters...

The body is tired and the mind is even more tired!

McGrady went to the technical desk and looked at the difference in assists per game between himself and Nash. He averaged 11.3 assists per game, and Nash averaged 12.5 assists per game. Although Nash's assists began to normalize, back to about 12 per game. But McGrady is still far behind.

Still need to work hard!

…

…

"58 points, how much hatred is this?" 》This is the headline of T.N.T.

"Ace is very angry, the consequences will be serious" This is the headline of ESPN, finally starting to brag about the Hawks and Liu Mang.

"Suppressing newcomers? Ace Liu went too far this time” was the headline in Sports Illustrated.

Domestic news headlines were almost like gossips, and they immediately went to Liu Mang and the Eagles. The better Liu Mang played, the happier the domestic media would naturally be, except for a few who wanted to criticize.

But the fans' comments were still the same, and they started to quarrel.

Whether they are American fans or domestic fans, they are all the same. There are rational ones, there are those who love basketball, and there are also pure trolls who don’t even watch the games.

Of course, the media's public opinion is the main weapon to guide fans' public opinion, and those who say bad things are often more likely to attract attention than those who say nice things.

First of all, Sports Illustrated, which has never dealt with the Hawks and Liu Mang, put forward the argument that Liu Mang suppressed the young people of the Bulls.

Especially when the ABC TV station recorded what Kwame Brown said to Eddie Curry, it gave some media even more "evidence" to incite public opinion.

"Ace Liu is afraid that the Bulls will grow up, so he wants to beat them until they lose confidence before they grow up. This is a huge loss for the NBA. If it is because of what Ace Liu did, it will The young players of the Bulls have lost confidence in themselves and failed to play to the strength of their talents. This is all the fault of Ace Liu. Ace Liu is afraid..."

Liu Mang felt incredible when he saw the comment made by a reporter in Sports Illustrated.

Liu Mang felt that even if he thought so, and really thought so, and did so, was there anything wrong with it?

This is competitive sports, which is about suppressing opponents, winning games, and winning championships.

There was also a moral kidnapping!

Liu Mang did not deny that he had this idea, but what was wrong with doing so?

Do we still have to help them develop self-confidence and then defeat themselves? When Liu Mang saw the news, his first reaction was that he thought it was ridiculous.

This Sports Illustrated reporter evaluated this thing from the beginning as it was wrong.

However, they are a sports media that has a friendly relationship with the Lakers. After all, Time Warner, the parent company of Sports Illustrated, is one of the largest sponsors of the Lakers. Liu Mang never thought that they would say good things about him.

Relatively speaking, T.N.T is more normal now. They also opposed the Eagles, but at least they are normal. Barkley's evaluation is still normal, because that is what they did at that time.

However, this specious argument can "resonate" with a large number of fans. In fact, basketball fans who are originally dissatisfied with Liu Mang, dislike or even hate Liu Mang have found an argument that they can use as "ironclad evidence" That's all, and this argument was originally just an argument, but if you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. Those people took this matter as the truth and had another reason to attack Liu Mang on the Internet.

After Sports Illustrated's argument was reposted domestically, Liu Mang gained a reputation for suppressing young teams.

Is Liu Mang the kind who would endure it silently?

Of course not. Liu Mang, whose hand speed was getting faster and faster, dispatched several computers again...

Of course, many fans are rational and feel that this argument is untenable. It is normal to suppress opponents. Then they argue with those "outraged" fans, and then naturally start a quarrel.

At this time, several famous "Liu Mang fans" from both China and the United States appeared to lead the army, and the two teams began to spray each other again...
