608. Fire collapses!
"Ace's shot is really... domineering, haha, Dayao still has a long way to go in the NBA! Facing an opponent like Ace, who is already an NBA superstar, Dayao still looks a little worse. After all,
In just his second year, Ace is already second in the scoring list..."
On the live broadcast of Chaoting Channel, Director Zhang used haha to distract Yao Ming from being detained. What else could he do? The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. He raised Liu Mang to the level of a superstar, and Yao Ming only entered the NBA second place.
Years later, it doesn’t look so embarrassing anymore.
But will Yao Ming give up?
of course not!
If you have been detained, you must get it back!
It is basically impossible to dunk Liu Mang. Inside players have to dunk outside players. Unless they are a cutter type physical man like Kwame Brown, they will try to dunk outside when they have the opportunity to pick and roll, or when making up for the dunk, and
The probability is extremely low.
Therefore, Boozer suffered. After Liu Mang hit an extra free throw to make the score 50-41, Yao Ming went crazy after coming over. He didn't care about his physical problems and used the waist and abdominal strength brought by his powerful lower limbs to fight Boozer desperately.
Zell pouted behind his back, received the pass from Francis, and smashed the ball into the basket through Boozer's frantically pulling arm!
For giants like O'Neal and Yao Ming, the most unfriendly thing is the whistle. They are too tall and strong. The referee seems to think that ordinary fouls are not considered fouls on them. O'Neal is okay. He is often directly caught after receiving the ball.
He went directly to the free throw line. Yao Ming was the worst. Because the free throws were so accurate, the Rockets asked him to take free throws for technical fouls. The opponent did not dare to cut. Like Boozer, it almost got to Yao Ming. The referee also
I didn’t brag because Yao Ming looked too big and was completely crushed.
After Yao Ming dunked the ball into the basket through Boozer, he roared and vented his displeasure. He seemed to move faster and ran back to his own half.
Liu Mang patted Boozer on the shoulder, and Boozer signaled that he was fine and continued to follow the tactics.
Liu Mang nodded, received the serve and advanced to the front court, continuing to break through! After passing Francis, Liu Mang played as if he was toying with his opponent, and once again broke through from the right. It wasn't Francis who didn't know that Liu Mang was going to go from his left, who
Knowing that Liu Mang was going to break through from the right, but if Liu Mang didn't block it when accelerating from the left, Francis believed that Liu Mang would definitely rush in from the middle, because he himself was the same and knew that the opponent's breakthrough would change direction.
Many blocks.
And he didn't dare to press too hard against Liu Mang. He was the only one who was the most shameless person in the league. He used the rules to cheat and commit fouls without blushing. Francis could only rely on his footsteps to keep up, and he could stay close to Liu Mang and Liu Mang.
The parallel lines are already pretty good.
Liu Mang rushed into the basket from the right with Francis. At this time, Kwame Brown cut in from the middle again. Cato let go of Boozer and chased after him, but he couldn't catch up! Yao Ming hesitated in the paint and went to block it.
Kwame Brown was gone. Liu Mang rushed to the right edge of the three-second zone and took a big hook! As soon as he took the first step of the three-step step, he directly grabbed the ball and hooked the ball from bottom to top.
, hit the backboard and fell into the basket!
Liu Mang vividly remembers Stockton's joke, "I actually want to score every time after a pick-and-roll, and I accidentally win the assists title." When Liu Mang heard this sentence, his first reaction was,
The middle-aged man is pretending, but if you think about it, it is true. How can you attract the defense away without showing that you want to score?
Liu Mang strictly implemented this concept, but accidentally over-implemented it, and then became the new generation of the league's iron king. This season, the number of irons he made was second only to Tracy McGrady.
When it was the Rockets' turn to attack, Yao Ming began to attack the inside like crazy. Whether it was Boozer or Kwame Brown, they were eaten alive by Yao Ming. Once the Hawks double-teamed, Yao Ming was also very timely in distributing the ball.
It was a direct assist, but it tore the Eagles' defense apart. Cato's cutaway dunk, Francis' cutback layup, Mobley and Jim Jackson both averaged nearly two three-pointers per game.
There is a shooting expert with a shooting percentage of close to 40%. When Yao Ming showed off his power in the inside, there was no Ratliff to restrict him in the inside. The Rockets' offense was very good, just like the first quarter.
The Eagles did not play that well, mainly because Yao Ming was too intimidating under the basket. After the defense became more focused, Liu Mang broke through and could only take a shot from around the sideline of the three-second zone and hit the ball.
The rate is not bad, but not as high as a layup. Yao Ming's dominance under the basket is beginning to show. If he defends without hesitation, he can block Kwame Brown and put pressure on Liu Mang. At the same time, it is precisely because of Yao Ming's defensive dominance under the basket.
, the Rockets don't have to worry about the inside line when pursuing outside defense, and the Eagles don't have many opportunities from the outside line.
Fighting and fighting, the point difference began to gradually be narrowed by the Rockets.
After halftime, Yao Ming scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, helping the Rockets chase the point difference to 61-63 at the end of the half, with only two points left.
After a 20-minute intermission, the game between the two teams continued.
Yao Ming rested for a while and continued to go on a rampage in the second half. He scored 15 points in the first half of the quarter, helping the Rockets successfully overtake the Hawks by one point midway through the third quarter, 80-79.
But the Eagles are not in a hurry, everything is going according to plan!
Because the last time Yao Ming took a shot just now, he had retreated to the free throw line and hit Kwame Brown's defense to turn over and shoot a jumper!
From the second half of the second quarter to the middle of the third quarter when Yao Ming exploded and scored 27 points, the Hawks used Boozer and Kwame Brown, and Muhammad risked his life to fight with Yao Ming.
Yao Ming's physical energy was consumed. From the third quarter to the fourth minute, Yao Ming's shots were getting further and further away from the basket!
During this period, Liu Mang used Boozer's mid-range shot, or Kwame Brown and Mohammed's air-cutting ability to attract the opponent's defense, and Prince or Raheem and Jason Terry from the outside took advantage of the space.
He pulled away, rushed to the basket and took crazy shots, just to hold on to the score, and did not let the Rockets take the lead so quickly and open the score. Everything went according to plan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It seems that Yao Ming scored 41 points before the third quarter was finished, which is very dazzling, but Liu Mang is not bad here, scoring 17 points in the first 17 points of the game.
With only 3 points, he silently increased the score to 24 points. Yao Ming scored 27 points from the middle of the second quarter to the middle of the third quarter, and Liu Mang also silently scored 21 points!
The Rockets overtook the score. Liu Mang saw that Yao Ming was so tired that he could only take a mid-range shot, so he immediately called a timeout!
We are all brothers, so of course Liu Mang should help Yao Ming get some rest time!
Yao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the bench and sat down on the chair. He leaned back on the chair and rested with his head wide open. He took advantage of this rare break to take a good rest. Coach Van Gundy had no intention of calling a timeout.
In the fourth quarter, the Rockets played very smoothly offensively. The Hawks did not call a timeout, and coach Van Gundy certainly did not call it to avoid disrupting the team's good offensive rhythm.
As for Liu Mang, was he really so kind as to call a timeout to give Yao Ming a rest?
You're kidding! Yao Ming, the unholy brother, is so determined to seize the title of No. 1 in the country. Of course, his unholy brother is going to kill the little giant!
People who like sports may understand that after an intense exercise that is close to the physical limit, if you hold on hard, you can continue to hold it for a while, but if you take a rest after approaching the physical limit, you want to continue what you just did.
It’s difficult when you exercise intensely! All negative situations explode directly at once.
But when you are at your physical limit, and you have time to rest, you will definitely want to take a good rest, and you can’t even imagine that there are so many.
Liu Mang knew Yao Ming's physical problems very well. Yao Ming's ability to last so long in this situation was far beyond Liu Mang's expectations. But at least he managed to survive and did not let the Rockets take advantage of Yao Ming's physical strength.
After widening the point difference, after returning from the timeout, the Eagles replaced the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Raheem, and Kwame Brown, and the cavalry company was dispatched!
The Rockets didn't dare to replace Yao Ming when the score was so tight. Except for the Hawks, there are very few large-scale rotation systems with 10 players in the league. When the score was tight, the Rockets continued to play with their main lineup. Francis,
Mobley, Jim Jackson, Cato, and Yao Ming continue to come up.
The Eagles attacked the ball in the frontcourt. Liu Mang received the ball and dribbled it to the top arc, beckoning Kwame Brown to come out for a pick-and-roll. Using Kwame Brown's pick-and-roll, he went straight to the basket. Kwame Brown cut inside at the same time. Liu Mang took the lead.
One step into the paint attracted Yao Ming to the right side of the three-second zone. Liu Mang threw the ball high to the left side of the basket. Kwame Brown rushed in and pushed the ball into the basket!
The Eagles lead 81 to 80!
Now Yao Ming can't even move quickly if he wants to!
It's not like in the first quarter when Liu Mang was a big threat and he was forced to focus on Liu Mang, but he really had no choice but to defend against one!
When the Rockets were on offense, Yao Ming couldn't get stuck under the basket. He reached the mid-range to receive the ball and took a mid-range shot against Kwame Brown's block. Fortunately, he had good touch and hit the mid-range shot. The Rockets
Leading by 1 point again.
The moment Yao Ming took action, Rahim had already rushed back to the basket, picked up the ball and immediately sent it to Liu Mang. The entire Eagles team attacked!
Yao Ming couldn't keep up, and the Eagles went 5-on-4 in the frontcourt. Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt to chase and hit a three-pointer... and hit it again!
84 to 82, the Eagles once again took the lead!
It was the Rockets' offense again, and Yao Ming's high move to receive the ball on the left side of the three-second zone was short!
Liu Mang rushed back to the basket immediately, grabbed the rebound and counterattacked directly!
Last time, Yao Ming was able to cross the half court when Liu Mang was chasing a three-pointer. This time, he couldn't run away. But Yao Ming is the kind of character who tries his best to chase back. The harder he works, the more miserable he becomes.
, seeing Liu Mang taking advantage of the threat posed by the last three-pointer, he stopped suddenly outside the three-point line to sway the pursuer away, then accelerated into the inside again and succeeded in a layup. Yao Ming still just passed the midline this time, and he immediately made another pass.
To run back and get low...
After Yao Ming missed two shots, Francis also saw that Yao Ming was physically exhausted! It came much earlier than Francis thought!
Francis' impression is that Yao Ming plays seven or eight minutes in each quarter and the total playing time is limited to about 30 minutes, so he can maintain his condition throughout the game.
However, today they encountered a gangster who tried every possible means. Yao Ming was only average in the third quarter and his physical condition collapsed!
Francis had no choice but to activate his personal breakthrough mode and confront the Eagles' cavalry company.
They could still hold on in the second half of the third quarter. After three quarters, the Hawks led 96 to 92. The Rockets could barely keep up with the rhythm. The Rockets' easy shooting from the outside led by Yao Ming, and even though Yao Ming was not physically fit enough
But the scoring area is too wide. The Eagles' Kwame Brown defensive end had to pull out to guard. Raheem was too short to interfere. The Eagles' basket was empty. Cato's height clearly had an advantage. Francis took the offensive
Very well organized.
But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Van Gundy saw that Yao Ming couldn't hold on any longer, so he put him on the bench and replaced him with Francis, Mobley, Jim Jackson, Maurice Taylor, and Kawhi.
Trust.
The Eagles continue to field a combination of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Raheem, and Kwame Brown.
Without Yao Ming, the Rockets only had Francis and Mobley as ball-handling threats. Liu Mang tried his best to restrict Francis, but Mobley was directly locked up by Prince. The Rockets collapsed in the fourth quarter!
Van Gundy pointed out that the current lineup can last until Yao Ming rests enough to come up and pose a threat. However, under the leadership of Liu Mang, the Eagles went 14-3 in just over three minutes in the fourth quarter.
In one fell swoop, the point difference was widened to 15 points!
Van Gundy called several timeouts, but Yao Ming was not there, and the lineup gap between the two teams suddenly reversed. Yao Ming's role for the Rockets cannot be replaced by others. The Eagles' advantage became very obvious, reaching fourth place.
In the middle of the quarter, the Eagles already led 121 to 100 by 21 points!
Now even if Yao Ming can fully recover physically, it will be useless!
Van Gundy reluctantly replaced the main force and announced his surrender!
The Eagles also replaced their main players. Liu Mang scored 35 points and 12 assists, leading the Eagles to defeat the Rockets in the fourth quarter!
In the end, the Hawks defeated the Rockets 133 to 117 on the road!
It seems that the score difference is not big, but the Rockets were beaten 25-8 by the Hawks in the fourth half of the fourth quarter. The collapse was so severe that it is impossible to describe the absolute crushing of the Hawks in the first half of the fourth quarter without a big victory.
Press!
Yao Ming's statistics of 43 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the first three quarters looked like a dominant beast comparable to O'Neal. The superstar in the three quarters is not just mentioned casually.
However, due to Liu Mang's strategy and Jeff Van Gundy's poor on-the-spot command, the problems encountered by Yao Ming were not discovered. Although the playing time was well controlled, he did not notice that Yao Ming was targeted. The Rockets looked like they were in the first three quarters.
It didn't lose to any team except the Spurs, Lakers, Timberwolves, Nets and the entire Hawks lineup, but it collapsed in the fourth quarter!
Chapter completed!
