It started with a strong three-pointer and a penalty.

Coupled with Liu Mang's arrogant remarks, Stackhouse was furious!

Others on the Pistons team were also very angry. It was this rookie every time! But these days, they still retain the impression of the past, that is, the impression that the best rookie in a rookie class was a first-line player from the beginning, so when Liu Mang

After winning the Rookie of the Year award, not many opponents would still look down upon Liu Mang, because Liu Mang has been put on the same level as not only Duncan and O'Neal, but at least the same level as Iverson and Glenn Robinson in their rookie years.

So except for Stackhouse, who resented his true identity as a rookie, everyone else on the Pistons couldn't stand Liu Mang's arrogant attitude!

The Eagles players are used to it, but they won't be used to it if we, a rookie, stop being so arrogant one day.

Although the fans at the scene could not hear what was said on the court, the scene was so noisy that the fans near the basket did not hear what Liu Mang said.

But Liu Mang stopped Jason Terry from bumping his chest to celebrate, and Liu Mang's face was full of: Why are you so excited about this kind of ball, routine operation... The cheers from the scene reached the first after the opening.

A peak!

Listening to the cheers of the fans, Liu Mang walked to the free throw line and made the extra free throw!

They scored 4 points in the first attack, 15 to 11, and the Eagles once again took the initiative!

Liu Mang quickly retreated after scoring a penalty. With his understanding...

Sure enough, Stackhouse was too easy to get ahead of himself. After receiving the serve, he quickly accelerated without regard to his teammates!

Liu Mang retreated beyond the three-point line. Stackhouse had already thrown away his teammates and rushed forward. At the same time, Rahim quickly returned to the basket and Liu Mang stepped up to block Stackhouse.

He was directly pushed back into the three-point line by Stackhouse's excellent confrontation.

When the gap came up, Stackhouse directly took a three-pointer!

For Stackhouse, it is normal to make three out of ten three-pointers, and it is normal to hit the ground running at the beginning. In the first round against the 76ers, Allen Iverson made his overall shooting rate 32%.

Being the core in the early years was even more the norm!

In Jim Carrey's desperate eyes, Stackhouse made a three-pointer when his four teammates had just entered the three-point line!

I can’t even grab a rebound!

This is why Stackhouse is a rare first-class player in NBA history who has changed teams eight times in his career!

Too lonely and too wild!

Rahim grabbed a defensive rebound and was about to throw it to Liu Mang for a counterattack. Jon Barry, who was the first to run back, quickly committed a tactical foul.

Eagles backcourt ball.

Liu Mang received Jason Terry's serve and advanced to the front court again. Stackhouse had the painful experience just now and did not dare to attack again, but he still came up and tried to fight Liu Mang with his body.

Liu Mang really couldn't squeeze Stackhouse. He seemed to be forced by Stackhouse to dribble crookedly, making Stackhouse seem to have the upper hand from above.

But the strange thing is that the ball is firmly within Liu Mang's control under Liu Mang's fingers.

Sudden!

Stackhouse showed an obvious gap, which can also be called "crotch". Liu Mang slapped the ball hard on the ground. Stackhouse's defensive attitude has improved today, but his defensive habits and skills are too poor.

!With almost no defensive prediction, he just wanted to rely on his body to fight. Liu Mang followed the force of Stackhouse's pressure again and turned around to wipe out the opponent!

Crotch-wearing is awesome!

Liu Mang thought this move was so cool when he was playing street ball before, but he couldn't control the ball so freely at that time, but now he plays so smoothly!

Amid the exclamations of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang broke into the inside line.

"Big Ben field level 3 trigger, from Ben Wallace, shooting ability in the three-second zone is reduced by 15."

Just as Liu Mang was about to enter the three-second zone, he saw Ben Wallace's Big Ben Level 3 on his head and his immediate pounce action. With his explosive physical fitness, Liu Mang stopped suddenly, stepped back to get out of the way, and followed.

Stackhouse rushed back to the inside to pursue the defense. Stackhouse rushed in and collided with Ben Wallace. Liu Mang made a mid-range jumper!

Feeling hot! Liu Mang also scored in the mid-range shot!

Coach Carlisle couldn't help it anymore and called a timeout!

Liu Mang came up and scored 6 points in a row to stop the Pistons!

Watching Liu Mang high-fiving his teammates and returning to the bench to replenish water, Coach Kruger encountered a serious playoff opponent for the first time, and found that the offense and defense he had planned early... seemed to be all going well.

None of them work!

He truly understood that the playoffs are a place where a head coach’s on-the-spot command is tested, unlike in college where all kinds of dazzling tactics can work!

Players will improve, and so will the coach!

Coach Kruger began to guess what kind of adjustments the opponent would make... He really couldn't guess. If Coach Carlisle's ever-changing thoughts were so easy to guess, Popovich wouldn't regard him as the most difficult person besides the Zen Master.

It was a tough coach to deal with, and Popovich almost capsized again in the first round of the 2013-14 playoffs.

Coach Kruger thought for a while and one thing was certain. He gathered his players together: "The opponent will definitely suppress the rhythm and then defend Ace. Others should pay attention to preparations for receiving the ball. Sharif, Nazr, you guys

Cooperate more with Ace in pick-and-rolls..."

A coaching style that is steady but also has a hint of romp. When the team has a player who can almost be regarded as a first-class star and a top star, the offensive dominance is handed over to a rookie, and there is no one except Coach Kruger.

.

…

After the timeout, the Pistons attack.

Stackhouse seemed to have calmed down a bit. I can't say calm. He just suppressed his anger after being scolded by the coach, but it could be seen from his eyes that he was even angrier.

After Stackhouse advanced, he handed the ball to Chris Williams, and then came to the inside. Liu Mang immediately switched defenses with Rahim. Rahim went to guard Stackhouse in the low post, and Liu Mang went to

Guard against Chris Williams.

This is the established defensive strategy of the Hawks. When Stackhouse goes to the outside, Liu Mang defends shots; when he goes inside, Rahim defends the low post.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But!

This defensive strategy was guessed by Coach Carlisle! Chris Williams decisively relied on his strong body to beat Liu Mang!

Liu Mang did not flinch, and moved closely against Chris Williams toward the three-second zone. Suddenly, he was blocked by a wall of flesh!

It's Ben Wallace!

At this time, Stackhouse, who had previously pretended to go for the ball in the low post, pulled out to pick and roll for Jon Barry. After Ben Wallace blocked Liu Mang for a while, he stopped and blocked Raheem again. Jon Barry ran back

At the top of the arc, Chris Williams looked back and passed the ball to the top of the arc. Jon Barry caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!

With Joan Barry as the defensive containment point, and finally Joan Barry as the end point, Coach Carlisle's tactics are unpredictable!

The Eagles can't hit the fast break!

As soon as the ball was released, the Pistons had already returned to defense collectively. Center Ben Wallace had a movement speed of 84, making it difficult for fast-break teams to survive.

Jason Terry advanced and handed the ball to Liu Mang again, then went to the bottom corner to wait.

Liu Mang faced Stackhouse and found that the opponent had learned his lesson this time and was not so close to him. Moreover, his physical fitness was so good that Liu Mang was afraid of making a move, so he waved for a pick-and-roll.

Muhammad came out to help Liu Mang block Stackhouse, and Liu Mang cut into the pick-and-roll...

"Depend on!"

Liu Mang was blocked by Clifford Robinson who rushed forward!

This defense!

But the referee did not call a foul! It was considered a reasonable confrontation!

At this time, Stackhouse didn't care about Muhammad who cut in, and teamed up with Clifford Robinson to double-team Liu Mang!

Stackhouse is full of confrontation. Although he does not have a good defensive awareness, he has a strong impact. Although Clifford Robinson's physical fitness has declined and his explosiveness has declined, he has a good awareness and keeps waving in the direction of Liu Mang's sight to block it.

Liu Mang’s passing route and passing perspective!

The key is that the two of them don't reach out towards Liu Mang!

The Pistons changed their formation and strengthened their defense against Liu Mang! Double teams! And others did a very good job of blocking runners. The most important thing was that Ben Wallace was too dominant defensively at the basket.

He is alone under the basket, and the other four members of the Pistons can guard him!

Liu Mang's heart was crossed, he accelerated towards the right, jumped up against the two defenders, tilted his body in the air to avoid Clifford Robinson's waving arm and made a strong shot!

One versus two three points!

There was no way around this strong shot. Unexpectedly, after Liu Mang had such a good shooting angle, he felt so good when shooting!

A flat, straight shot with a very low arc plunged into the basket!

So cool!

Liu Mang has the same feeling as when using Klay Thompson's shooting bag!

It is true that Jason Terry's three-point ability is not as good as Klay Thompson's, but it will definitely not be that much worse in his peak period, and Liu Mang is more than a little bit better than when he used Klay Thompson's star card at the beginning of the season.

So after the addition, the three-point level is almost the same as that time!

After hitting the three-pointer, Liu Mang made a gun gesture with both hands. While returning to defense, he blew the gun finger, just like a cowboy in the Western pioneer era gently blowing gun smoke after shooting!

Two consecutive stunning three-pointers!

The fans at the scene felt that they might have to go to the hospital to have their throat checked after watching today's game! It was only the first quarter, and the fans were already standing up and cheering!
