Iverson always felt that the two guys opposite had a conspiracy!

Unlike when McGrady and Rondo were there, the Hawks' offense was team-based. After another double-eagle combination of Liu Mang and Jason Terry came on the scene, whoever met Iverson would play singles.

Iverson's physical fitness is really nothing to say. He is almost 32 years old, and he still plays 43 minutes in each game, once again ranking first in the league. In such a game, he basically plays the whole game.

However, I finally got a group of good teammates who were at their peak. Iverson, who had experienced Liu Mang's reign of terror in the East, didn't mess around this time. After scoring 5 points in the first quarter, Iverson rarely took any shots.

Possible to speed up the pass and sort out the offense.

On the defensive end, the Hawks were forced to use unlimited switching defense. When the Nuggets players got the ball, whoever was nearby would switch defense.

In this era of unlimited defense switching, the relative effect is not that good. Marion’s defensive experience and skills are better than Josh Smith’s. Marion is better at guarding power forwards and small forwards than Josh Smith, but when it comes to defending centers, the height gap is

That.

Players these days are not as over-roleized as they will be in the future. In twelve or thirteen years, Nene, who is still thirty-six or seventeen years old, will still be able to occasionally play for the Rockets because he has skills that are rare among post players of that era.

.

Although Camby doesn't have the ability to attack independently, he is facing a normal center. Marion is better at switching defenses against them, and Granger... he can just stand and throw.

Coach Kruger tried to replace Hollins, but the result was even worse. The offense became four-on-five. Hollins couldn't run, so it was better to play five small.

The first half was all about fighting. After the phase was over, Rondo and McGrady were allowed to rest for a while. At the beginning of the second quarter, Rondo and McGrady took turns playing, attacking at different rhythms of McGrady and Rondo, trying to disrupt the Nuggets.

rhythm.

The effect was average. After the first quarter, the Eagles and Nuggets were tied 34 to 33. The Eagles temporarily led by 1 point, but at the end of the half, the Eagles were already 5 points behind 61 to 66.

In the first half, Liu Mang played 18 minutes and scored 16 points, 2 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 blocks. His performance was very good.

McGrady and Rondo each got 5 assists, and Jason Terry scored 11 points in the second quarter, both outstanding performances.

But I can’t prevent it!

As soon as Kwame Brown went out, the defense collapsed, allowing the Nuggets to score 33 points in both quarters.

Iverson scored 9 points and 6 assists in the half, and Anthony scored 21 points in the half. In particular, Nene and Camby both scored in double figures at the half, and both scored 10 points.

During the halftime break, Liu Mang and Coach Kruger were talking about the introduction of inside players. The outside problem was not big, mainly the center!

Even if there is an average backup center, it is too difficult to rely on Kwame Brown alone now.

If you were playing against other teammates, you could still use David Lee, but today when you met the Nuggets, the track and field team, David Lee was about the same as Hollins.

Liu Mang did not complain that Hollins was not good, nor did he complain that David Lee's role in defense and counterattack was zero. He just needed to recruit players. David Lee is still useful, but it depends on who the opponent is.

…

"Ace, you go up and shoot, don't worry about anything else, just shoot if you think the opportunity is good, and I'll attract a double attack."

After the halftime break, when Liu Mang walked out of the tunnel, Tracy McGrady put his arm around Liu Mang's shoulder and said.

In terms of scoring, there are only two players among active players who can convince Tracy McGrady. One is No. 24, and the other is also No. 24. There are only three players in NBA history who can score 80 points in a single game. Only these two No. 24 players can do it.

arrive.

"I think so too, Tracy, it's up to you." Liu Mang smiled.

Never mind him!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry scored in double figures in the first and second quarters respectively. Iverson did not follow them. Liu Mang also gave up the idea of ​​letting Iverson. Now Ivers

Sen is indeed a lot more reasonable, otherwise he would not be able to hit a first-class shooting rate of more than 45%. Such Iverson and Liu Mang feel quite weird, but this is indeed the way Iverson should play at this age.

, and also allowed fans and opponents to get to know the new him again.

The Eagles sent out a lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Battier, Granger, and Kwame Brown in the third quarter. Marion was very tired in the first half, so he took a break in the second half to conserve his energy for the fourth quarter.

For the Nuggets, Iverson, who played the entire first half, continued to play, and the combination of Linas Kleiza, Edondo Najera, Reggie Evans, and Nene came on the field.

He is also a player with first-class physical fitness, who can run and jump.

The Nuggets attacked first. After Iverson and Nene picked and rolled, they broke into the inside and shot a layup with the same hand and foot to score two points. This time Iverson chose the timing of the inside shot well. Nene cut in and attracted Kwame.

-Brown's defensive attention. Iverson's inside throw has a characteristic that is very similar to Liu Mang's. The hand and the raised foot are in the same direction. If you don't pay attention, it will be thrown out.

When the Hawks attacked, McGrady received the serve and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. The Nuggets were already in a defensive position.

Although Lithuania's swingman Kleiza is white, he has a physical fitness comparable to that of a black man. He is characterized by his tough defense, ability to run and jump, and is a standard Lithuanian player.

After Liu Mang served the ball, he ran to the frontcourt and immediately went up to screen for McGrady, helping McGrady create a breakthrough opportunity!

McGrady took three steps in a row and hit the inside!

Iverson switched to McGrady, but it didn't have much effect. Reggie Evans, who was guarding Granger near the right sideline, flanked him and McGrady passed the ball to Granger!

Kleiza had good defensive discipline, switched defense quickly, and quickly blocked Granger. Granger did not take advantage of it and passed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang had already run to the left side of the weak side at a 45-degree angle, and other players

There is a huge distance between people!

An open three-point catch-and-shoot jumper!

The beautiful standard shooting posture is very similar to Jordan but not as strong as Jordan. It is like Kobe but does not have Kobe's coquettish butt sticking posture. The relatively soft standard shooting posture makes the shot faster than usual under the influence of the fast shooting master.

Hollow hit!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! 64 to 68, the score difference is narrowed to within 5 points!

Subsequently, Iverson scored two points with a mid-range pull-up jumper after a breakthrough, turning the score into 70-64.

There's no way around it, Liu Mang can't stop him, Iverson's mid-range shot after the breakthrough is really beautiful, it's his specialty.

When the Eagles were on offense again, Liu Mang felt something coming and continued to block McGrady. When he blocked McGrady, he whistled at McGrady. McGrady immediately understood and passed the ball to Liu Mang hand-to-hand when going around the pick-and-roll!

This moment confused the defense of Iverson and Kleiza. Since McGrady's breakthrough pass just now was very successful, both of them went to delay McGrady. Liu Mang half-turned and took off, shooting a three-pointer!

"Ding... King of Dry Pull is triggered at level 5. The take-off height of this shot will not be affected by sudden take-off..."

"Shua..."

Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row!

67 to 70, the point difference is only 3 points!

Ace Liu, the immortal Death Star, appears!

When the Nuggets attack, the Nuggets want to ensure the success rate, Liu Mang starts to show off his power, and they can't guard against it. Before, Liu Mang was 5 points less than Anthony. Now, in less than two minutes, Liu Mang has already scored.

More than Anthony!

To be on the safe side, Iverson waved to Nene for a pick-and-roll.

For Iverson and his fans, Iverson looking for pick-and-rolls, they are used to seeing this kind of scene, but for playing three or four games with Iverson in one year, and now even more so with Iverson in one year.

For Liu Mang, who played two games with Iverson, it does feel strange. After all, Iverson's team has not been very competitive in recent years. The Eagles didn't pay much attention to him. Now suddenly Iverson has

After going through the transitional period of changing his playing style, he is now a quite mature veteran point guard in his eleventh year.

Nene came up to block Liu Mang. This guy was about to cut his balls. Liu Mang quickly went around to chase Iverson. Kwame Brown kept retreating and couldn't keep up. He could only hinder Iverson from hitting the ball.

Fortunately, Liu Mang retreated directly from the center and blocked Iverson's cut.

But on the other side, Nene cut in after a pick-and-roll, and Iverson passed the ball to Nene who came to the right side of the three-second zone!

At this time, McGrady consciously let go of Najera in the corner and retreated to the three-second zone. McGrady switched to Nene's defense.

But Nene caught the ball and rushed forward. McGrady was pushed away by Nene!

Nene squeezed McGrady away and then jumped up to dunk... got blocked!

McGrady came first and slapped the ball lifted by Nene onto the backboard!

McGrady’s catch!

McGrady's defense was rare and serious today!

Kleiza yelled, and the Nuggets retreated quickly. Nene was dizzy after being blocked, but he immediately returned to defense. George Karl's team's discipline was still good.

McGrady caught the ball and immediately counterattacked. Liu Mang crossed the center line first. McGrady passed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang received the ball more than one meter away from the three-point line. He raised his hand and was about to enter the three-point line.

Seeing Liu Mang receiving the ball and switching defense to Liu Mang, Nene was knocked away.

Liu Mang rushed inside and was blocked by Reggie Evans and Iverson one step inside the free throw line. Reggie Evans opened his arms and caught him. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and threw it with both hands.

The ball lifted up and hit Reggie Evans' arm...

"Ding...Pengci Master Level 5 trigger..."

The referee quickly blew the whistle, and Reggie Evans subconsciously pressed his elbow. Liu Mang was pushed down and fell to the floor...

But this ball was extremely lucky. When Liu Mang was pressed down, the ball had already separated from his hand. Liu Mang tried his best to throw the ball towards the basket at the last moment. The ball was spinning when it flew out and hit the right side of the basket.

Got in!

twenty one!

Liu Mang scored 8 points in a row!

Liu Mang has scored 24 points so far, and the Nuggets players are going crazy!

If Liu Mang was attacking with the ball, it would be better. If Liu Mang was attacking with the ball, Liu Mang would pick up the ball and make a fake move to shake people. The Nuggets could still stay close, but Liu Mang would catch the ball and shake people. They jumped up and Liu Mang jumped.

Mang rushed in directly!

As soon as the third quarter started, Liu Mang narrowed the point difference to 1 point! There were also extra penalties, so Nuggets head coach George Karl quickly replaced J.R. Smith and Anthony.

George Karl didn't expect that one day he would have to rely on J.R. Smith's defense.

Relatively speaking, the Nuggets' best defender against Liu Mang is JR Smith!

Different from other people's defense, JR-Smith's defense is very axial. He only chases his defender and has no intention of switching defenses. But it is just suitable for guarding against Liu Mang. To guard against Liu Mang, you have to bite the bullet and have someone to guard the other one.

People can't switch defenses. JR-Smith's defensive style is the one the Nuggets can put the most pressure on Liu Mang.

Seeing Liu Mang step to the free throw line, the mentality of the young Nuggets players was about to explode, especially Nene, who was one year behind Liu Mang. He simply couldn't think of competing with Liu Mang.

Nene and Kwame Brown were next to each other and had no intention of fighting for rebounds. Liu Mang's free throw shooting rate was 89%, so why fight for it? How tiring.

At this time, Nenei heard Liu Mang's mutterings as he was taking photos of the ball...
