It was Hinrich who took the lead in the fourth quarter!

Having the same excellent qualities as Blake, Hinrich never gives up at critical moments!

Players like Stockton, Hinrich, and Blake look very mediocre. If you put on a red vest and a hat, he will look like a porter.

But they are tough at critical moments!

Just like Blake's goal at the beginning of the third quarter, regardless of whether it went in or not, he threw it first if he felt he should do it. Hinrich also felt that he should do something about this. When he first entered the NBA, his template was Stowe.

Cotton, now comes a pass exactly like Stockton's.

In transition, the Eagles attack.

The opponent scored a goal and couldn't counterattack. Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, picked and rolled with Tracy McGrady and passed the ball to Jason Terry.

Jason Terry knocked Hinrich away and took a long two-point shot from the high post...

Missed!

Marion made a great contribution this time!

When Kwame Brown blocked Ben Wallace and was unable to compete with another super rebounder with a rebound rating of over 95, Marion actively took the ball out. McGrady grabbed the ball and made a mid-range jump shot...

Hit!

61 square meters!

When it came to the Bulls' offense, Garnett didn't directly ask for the ball in singles in the first three quarters. He always responded to the ball after the pick-and-roll. Just now Hinrich made a mid-range shot. This time Liu Mang defended Hinrich even more tightly.

Nate didn't come up for a pick-and-roll, but directly leaned on Marion in the high post on the left side of the free throw line to ask for the ball.

Hinrich lobbed the ball over, and just when Garnett was about to catch the ball, Marion stretched out his long arm and hit the ball first!

Fortunately, Luol Deng actively rushed up from the sideline, picked up the ball first, took advantage of the chaos, went around to the center, and scored two points with a one-step jumper from the free throw line.

When the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang was in the key defensive position of the Bulls. No matter where he went, he could feel the opponent's "malice". However, this time McGrady successfully broke into the paint and scored two points with a backhand layup.

Garnett and Liu Mang, the absolute core of the Bulls and Hawks, both encountered extremely targeted defense at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

It was obvious to the Bulls that Liu Mang showed his touch when shooting in the second half of the third quarter. Liu Mang's second three-pointer of the game was made at the end of the third quarter. The touch was quite smooth, so

The fourth quarter focuses on guarding against Liu Mang.

In the first three quarters, Garnett's offense was also reserved, fearing that Liu Mang would cause a foul if he switched defenses. Now when Garnett wants to attack, he does not use pick-and-rolls, and prepares to directly play singles in the mid-range, but Marion defends.

This defense is very good. Garnett has to break through, and Kwame Brown is also on the inside to cover up. In the Eagles' strongest lineup, except for Jason Terry, who has poor defense, the other four positions are all excellent defensive players.

Garnett's side was targeted and there were no good opportunities at the beginning.

However, the two core teammates stepped forward one after another at this time.

Luol Deng and Hinrich next to Garnett, and Marion and Tracy McGrady next to Liu Mang, stepped up to help the two cores share the pressure!

This really surprised Liu Mang. This was the first time they had reached a "critical point" with the Bulls this season!

The so-called critical point is similar to a critical moment, but not exactly the same.

The attack point is a critical time to test the team's star's attack ability.

Just like now, the Hawks rely on McGrady and Marion to hold on to the score, and the Bulls rely on Hinrich and Luol Deng to hold on to the score. The two teams are in a stalemate, but the two teams are holding on to the score.

The main personnel are not the leading scorers of the two teams. The leading scorers of the two teams are now struggling against the opponent's strict defense.

It depends on which side's leading scorer adapts to defense first!

If we say that the Eagles were at a disadvantage in the previous technical and tactical contests and the battle for rhythm, but once the Eagles have overcome that stage and entered the critical time point that now requires the ability to attack, the Eagles have the upper hand.

!

At the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the Eagles attacked. Liu Mang went around to the right corner and used Marion's active and self-aware off-the-ball pick-and-roll to get rid of the defense. After receiving a pass from McGrady, he turned around and made a three-pointer from the right corner.

Hit!

He only took three shots in five minutes, and the three opportunities were not very good. Liu Mang, who failed to score a point, hit a three-pointer when the team needed someone to open up the situation, helping the Eagles widen the point difference to 71 to 67.

To 4 points!

The 4-point difference is the Eagles' largest lead in this game!

There was only one minute left before the official timeout. Bulls coach Skiles resisted the idea of ​​calling a timeout and wanted to get through this period first.

When the Bulls were on offense, Garnett saw Liu Mang hit a three-pointer and wanted to return one. He took the initiative to get the ball from the top arc. After receiving the ball, he took a step like a defender and shot a jump shot from outside the free throw line.

…

Marion interfered very well. He stayed close to Garnett before he caught the ball. Garnett missed the mid-range shot!

Kwame Brown beat Ben Wallace to defend the defensive rebound.

Ahead! And with the ball in hand, we have an advantage!

Coach Kruger has been standing on the sidelines since Liu Mang hit a three-pointer in the last round. He felt restless. He saw Garnett shooting and Kwame Brown got a defensive rebound and shot hard into the air.

With a punch, he defended the Bulls for three consecutive rounds, widening the point difference to four points, and having the ball, the next thing to do was to stabilize the situation!

Just when Coach Kruger thought that Liu Mang's smart mind would definitely know what to do now and the importance of stability, Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang advance to the frontcourt, took a step across the top arc, and directly

threw……

Seeing Liu Mang's back as he shot a three-pointer, Coach Kruger yelled: "Vackey! Ace, you are so... so awesome!"

After scoring a three-pointer, if there is a slight chance, he will definitely throw the second one. This is Liu Mang's instinct.

In the last round, after McGrady and Kwame Brown were in a pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Liu Mang, who was on the off-ball side with Marion in the pick-and-roll, to shoot a three-pointer. The key point was not only that Liu Mang ran out of position and made the shot, McGrady and Kwame

-Brown attracted the defense, and McGrady successfully distributed the ball to Liu Mang in the corner on the other side of the basket across the crowd. This was the key.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Bulls thought that the Hawks would still play a team offense. When they retreated from defense, they immediately set up a formation to defend against the Hawks' high pick-and-roll, but the opportunity was seized.

Liu Mang directly threw a three-pointer and hit it directly. Xinrich didn't even have time to pounce!

74 to 67, the point difference widened to 7 points!

At 6 minutes and 9 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Bulls called a timeout!

The Eagles established a seven-point lead before the official timeout!

…

Won!

Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in the middle of the final quarter. He scored 8 points and 4 rebounds in the final quarter. He finished the game with 30 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals... and 6 turnovers, which were the key to the Eagles' victory.

The Bulls actually defended the Hawks well in the entire last quarter. Marion's enthusiasm grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, which is impossible to guard against. Marion is good at this, and Tracy McGrady's 8 points in a single quarter was also very good.

.

The key to the Bulls' defeat was Liu Mang's two three-pointers in the middle of the fourth quarter.

In the first three and a half quarters, Liu Mang only made 2 of 11 three-pointers, but those two three-pointers were too deadly.

Originally, when Liu Mang scored the first three-pointer in the fourth quarter, the Hawks could consider playing conservatively from that point on. Anyway, the Bulls did not have any players who could attack.

But Liu Mang unexpectedly scored a goal, widening the point difference to seven points. After that, he played conservatively and the stability was much higher.

As the referee blew the final whistle, Liu Mang, who played for 48 minutes, made 9 of 28 shots, scored 30 points, 12 rebounds and 5 blocks, the Eagles defeated the away team 85-79 with a score difference of 6 points.

Bulls, successful revenge!

Garnett has reached the critical moment when he needs offensive ability, and he has almost no contribution on the offensive end. This is the key to the Hawks winning.

Similarly, it also shows that the Eagles were extremely lucky in this game!

It happened that Blake's sudden breakthrough gave Liu Mang the idea to adjust his rhythm. The Bulls, who had already gained the upper hand in the second quarter, continued to expand their advantage in the third quarter and dragged the game into a stage where they needed to rely on their attacking ability.

Liu Mang had the opportunity to establish an advantage in the middle of the fourth quarter.

So in this game, Liu Mang felt that he was very lucky to win.

But, a win is a win!

Seeing that the Bulls had a large group of high-quality role players but could not find a player who could deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment, Liu Mang had a more intuitive understanding of the Bulls' shortcomings.

Liu Mang doesn't have a particularly good way to take advantage of these shortcomings of the Bulls. There are too many coincidental factors that can lead to that situation this time. Of course, to seize these opportunities, the premise is that the Eagles can play well.

Good enough!

At least Liu Mang made it clear what he needs to do to have a chance to beat the Bulls, three simple points.

The first point is not to blindly defend against the Bulls. You must have confidence in your own style of play. Don't let the Bulls' slow pace wear away your touch. Throw it when you need to speed up. Even if the opponent continues to press the rhythm, don't throw it away.

Being affected too deeply.

The second is to delay! If you can't beat the Bulls to death with one blow from the beginning, then delay it and don't let the opponent widen the point difference.

The third...is the crucial fourth quarter! Liu Mang's own ability to attack tough situations is the key, as is how much help his teammates can give. In the last quarter, McGrady and Marion gave Liu Mang strong support. This time, it was McGrady and Marion.

, next time it may be McGrady and Jason Terry. Anyway, they always need the help of their teammates. Against a strong defensive team like the Bulls, one person cannot do it.

…

After winning the game against the Bulls, the Eagles' record improved to 39 wins and 16 losses, ending the difficult first half of the regular season, and they can finally usher in a long vacation.

Looking at a group of crazy teammates, Liu Mang took a sip of milk to relieve the discomfort caused by drinking several glasses of strong liquor.
