Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket through Howard!

Try the strongest first step twice in a row!

First, the explosion accelerated and broke through Carter, and then there was room for jumping when he arrived at the inside... At this time, except for fouls, there was almost no insider who could stop Liu Mang!

Wade watched Liu Mang use his playing style to slam Howard one, and he was a little sad...

In two specific situations, the first step is Liu Mang and he is the only one!

Howard's first reaction wanted to avoid it, but everything came too suddenly. Fortunately, he has become accustomed to it in the past few years...

The Magic attacked, and Carter steadily pushed the ball into the frontcourt under Wade's pressure defense.

Without taking a quick move in the oppressive defense like in the last game, then retreating quickly. The Magic played very differently from the beginning of the previous game. The Magic wanted to attack in this game!

The preparation directions for the two teams on yesterday's rest day were very different. The Hawks made defensive adjustments to the Magic's offense, while the Magic's first solution was to strengthen confidence and make adjustments from the ideological aspects to avoid being scared by the Hawks' amazing outside meat grinder defense.

However, the Eagles have a good defense against the Magic's running position that has changed in the beginning of the last game!

It is very difficult to lock a successful offensive system in defensive tactics. Even the Spurs and Suns played in the playoffs back then, which strengthened their own offense to have an advantage.

But the Eagles' defensive training yesterday finally created some difficulties for the Magic's running and other aspects.

Although it failed to force the Magic to make a mistake or let the Magic players pass through the cross-bow and make a strong shot, it still allowed Carter, Tkogru and Rahim to not get any space to shoot. After the Magic passed the ball, the ball was in Nelson's hands. Liu Mang changed defense quickly and did not give Nelson a chance to shoot at an open spot!

The attack time in 24 seconds was getting less and less, and Nelson could only take action against Liu Mang's defense...

Three points are iron!

Raheim rushed in and hit the ball in the air, but he didn't make up for it. McGrady, who took back, took the defensive rebound!

The Eagles counterattack! The Magic quickly retreated!

McGrady quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and then used Liu Mang to open the space and passed the ball to Wade. Wade cut into the dive and dunked to score two points.

The Hawks' pace was getting faster, and the Magic also accelerated. Carter received the serve and advanced quickly. After rushing to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Tkoglu who followed. Howard and Rahim then rushed to the inside and took away the defense. Tkoglu's top arc three-pointer...

Enter!

Can score a goal! The rhythm of the two teams instantly improves!

If you attack, the Magic team is worthy of any team... It only requires one premise, their three-pointers can be shot.

The Hawks' counterattack mainly focuses on attacking the basket, and the three-pointer is mainly Liu Mang's roaming, and the advantage is stability!

The Magic team has a three-point team and two inside players with strong impact, and they are good at bursts!

The Magic's three-pointer in this game continued the feeling of the beginning of the last game, and was not affected by Liu Mang and Wade's consecutive dunks.

The fans on the scene were excited as they watched!

The two-on-one disagreement began to fight!

In the seventh minute of the first quarter, when the official timeout was delayed, the two teams scored 21-19, and the Hawks fell behind by two points!

Liu Mang threw a three-pointer into the Hawks, and McGrady and Marion failed to make the three-pointer, so they went to the basket more.

The purpose of the Hawks running and playing was to avoid the super strong inside defense combination of Raheem and Howard, but the Magic also ran and threw three points, which could be thrown in. After playing for more than half a quarter, the Magic threw four three-pointers. It seemed that the Hawks hit a little higher, but the one who led the Magic!

But this difference is not a problem for the Hawks!

After the timeout, the Eagles are playing hard. Since the pressure on the defense is useless and the opponent runs and throws three points, the Eagles will follow!

Rondo, Jason Terry, Liu Mang, Grant Hill, and Brad Miller's lineups came on.

In addition to leaving a center forward with a certain tonnage and a fake fall to carry Howard, the Eagles sent four outside lines!

After the official timeout, the Magic replaced Nelson with Keith Bogans. Carter and Tegerkru each threw two three-pointers, and Nelson was all ironed. The Magic sent Kenyon Dulin, Bogans, Carter, Tkogru and Howard's lineup. Rahim was replaced and rested. At the last moment, the Magic needed Rahim's inside attack.

When the Hawks attacked, Rondo used Jason Terry's restraint and Brad Miller to pass the ball to Liu Mang who ran to the right sideline with the help of Grant Hill's pick-and-roll. Liu Mang came up and threw a three-pointer!

22 to 21, the difference between the two points was instantly eliminated and overtaken by Liu Mang!

Tkoglu and Carter could only look at each other and smile bitterly. They had already hit each other at the first time, but Rondo passed the ball accurately, and Liu Mang had a gap of aiming, and he grasped it!

What else can I do?

Rahim on the sidelines watched Liu Mang's performance and wanted to go up and continue to compete with Liu Mang. Rahim hit a mid-range shot in the first half, and cooperated with Carter's high and low posts to catch the ball and layup, scoring 6 points and 2 rebounds. He performed very well and now he still wants to continue to compete with Liu Mang.

But there is no way, he has to be patient. The Magic team can have a success rate in singles at critical moments, just Carter's outside singles and his inside singles.

After hitting this three-pointer, Liu Mang's touch came!

It's already 12 points in a single quarter!

Two three-pointers, one dunk, one mid-range shot, two free throws, Liu Mang has already scored 12 points in a single quarter!

The Magic's offense, Howard's pick-and-roll with the ball is very poor, but the pick-and-roll without the ball is still good, because the opponent cannot let him go to double-team the unballed person.

With the help of Howard's pick-and-roll Bogans received a pass from Tkoglu, he faced Brad Miller who had switched defense and made a layup... The ball turned around and rolled out. Brad Miller stood well, blocking Howard who wanted to snatch it, and Grant Hill grabbed the defensive rebound.

Grant Hill gave the ball to Rondo. It was a bit difficult to counterattack this time. The Magic ran faster. Rondo was not in a hurry. He advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Liu Mang who followed up from the left.

Rondo was rumored and regretted it in less than two seconds...

Liu Mang was one big step away from the three-point line on the left side of the top arc, and threw it directly after receiving the ball!

"Clang"

"Swish"

The ball hits the rebound and bounces into the basket!

“…”

Rondo and Liu Mang were both silent for a moment and immediately turned back to defend.

"The heart can't stand it anymore, but fortunately there will be assists..." This is Rondo.

"It's a bit different from what I imagined, but it's fine if you enter..." This is Liu Mang.

Jason Terry has long been used to it, but the two major inside players in the Hawks' current lineup and five opponents will react slowly...

25-21, the Hawks suddenly took a 4-point lead!

Liu Mang came back from the timeout and scored two three-pointers in a row, and one of them scored a 6-0 shot!

Liu Mang has already scored 15 points in a single quarter! The Magic team has begun to carry out more active attack strategies against Liu Mang.

This is exactly what Liu Mang wants!

Liu Mang didn't know why he threw the three-pointer like that, but it seemed that he scared the other party.

Liu Mang began the role of transfer pass.

Jason Terry played badly in the last game, and his performance today was completely different. When the Magic started to attack Liu Mang, Liu Mang split the ball, and Jason Terry's shooting percentage was extremely high!

After playing in the fourth and fifteenth second quarter, Jason Terry played in less than 9 minutes and had already scored 10 points!

4 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 of 3-pointers!

The Magic team called it a timeout again!

42 to 36, the score difference was once again widened by the Hawks to more than 5 points. With Jason Terry's two-pointer hit, the score difference reached 6 points again!

The gap in strength!

The Magic really felt the horror of the Hawks' rotation lineup! In the last game, due to the early decisive state, the Magic couldn't really feel the Hawks' rotation lineup in the playoffs.

However, the players of the two teams are getting more and more excited now!

After returning from the timeout, the Magic made a climax, with Carter and Morris Evans hitting two consecutive three-pointers, tying the gap in one go.

But on the Hawks, McGrady, who returned to the court, first made a mid-range jump shot, then assisted Wade to score two points on a drop. Then McGrady himself helped Wade catch the ball after pick-and-roll, and after the Magic made a 6-0 wave, McGrady and Wade led the team to a 7-2 wave!

As the one who was surrounded by the front, Liu Mang saw that his teammates played so well, he could only cheer for them and call them...

The scores of the two teams rose alternately, and the more they played, the more they became more excited, and the more they understood the opponent's defense...

As long as the Magic can make three points, their offense will be unsolvable. The more they advance, the smoother they move, the clearer the analysis of the opponent's defense will be!

The Hawks are the team with the highest average score this season, more than 5 points higher than the second-place Nuggets, and they also do a good job of cracking the Magic's defense.

The anxious situation continued until the last moment. When the Hawks led by 3 points 119 to 116 and there were 51 seconds left, Nelson advanced to the frontcourt and threw it directly against Liu Mang's defense!

Nelson's shot made no sense at all. He and the other three outside lines on the court, Carter 93's three-pointer rating, Tkoglu 91's three-pointer rating, and Morris Evans 88's three-pointer rating, and Rahim, the center they play in a small lineup, have higher three-point stability than Nelson!

The Magic didn't expect Nelson to throw it away like this!

Rondo grabbed the rebound and made a long pass directly. Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt to catch the ball and chased the ball and made a three-pointer...

Hit!

Liu Mang made his fifth three-pointer in this game, helping the Hawks lead six points 122-116 and secure the victory!
Chapter completed!
