Arenas scored 10 points in the half!

It’s still the playoffs!

This is not bad!

That is to say, Coach Kruger was able to keep his composure and did not call a timeout in advance. Arenas on the Wizards was in good condition, and it was impossible to call a timeout. However, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady were holding back their energy to fuck Arenas.

No timeout was called. After seven minutes of the first quarter, the score was tied by the opponent. It happened to be the official timeout time, so Coach Kruger called a timeout.

Coach Kruger can keep his composure because his side is also constantly scoring. Generally speaking, his side does not suffer a loss because it relies on normal tactics to score points. If the tactics can be used in the playoffs, it is very successful.

, and the Wizards were obviously not successful from a tactical point of view. The scoring relied entirely on Arenas. 14 of the 16 points were scored because of Arenas.

Jamison defended McGrady on the outside and Rasheed Wallace on the inside.

This point about Larry Hughes, because Larry Hughes broke out when he met the Eagles in the first three games of the regular season, the Eagles studied for a long time and found that using Kwame Brown to guard the basket is the best, so this game is aimed at

At this point, the defensive strategy was deployed. Two of the Wizards' three Musketeers were blocked at once, and Arenas was the only one to break out.

So the Eagles didn't suffer.

But Arenas's rampage is indeed a problem. There are only three players who can score 50 points at least twice this season. Apart from Kobe and Liu Mang, the other one is Arenas.

Liu Mang and Prince couldn't defend each other individually, and their defense was too gentle.

So Coach Kruger discussed it with Mike Woodson and prepared to provoke Liu Mang.

Liu Mang has always defended Arenas very well. Why was he defeated today? The main reason is that he defended Arenas too gracefully!

During the official timeout, Liu Mang was going to shoot more three-pointers to find his touch. He just missed an open three-pointer and was hit by Larry Hughes and Haywood. He felt the impact. He just took two shots and found a little feeling.

Was called over by Coach Kruger.

"What's wrong, coach, do you have any instructions?" Liu Mang said as if he was following your arrangements.

Coach Kruger replied: "Ace, Arenas on the opposite side is very good in singles!"

Why are you asking this? Isn't it obvious? Liu Mang responded: "He, I and Iverson should be the three most scoring point guards in the league. Of course, I am the best one."

So shameless! Coach Kruger almost didn’t want to talk to Liu Mang, but he held it back.

"Ace, since you can't guard Arenas, let Andre guard him!" Coach Kruger began to use aggressive tactics.

But if Coach Kruger can figure out Liu Mang's thoughts, he is no longer Liu Mang...

"Coach, you are right, let Andre try to defend."

"That's right, Ace, what...what did you say?"

"What's wrong coach?"

"Get out!" Coach Kruger kicked Liu Mang.

As soon as Liu Mang opened his ghost sword, he moved around and... dodged the kick.

Coach Kruger didn't expect Liu Mang to agree directly. He just wanted to inspire Liu Mang to be more defensive.

And Liu Mang thinks that role players should be used to defend. It doesn't matter if the action is rough and the foul is committed. Isn't that what role players are used to do.

Seeing Coach Kruger wanting to beat Liu Mang, both fans and players were not surprised.

"Andre, Jason, you two go up, Andre, you guard Arenas, Ace, you guard Hughes, Jason, you and Ace play in singles, Rasheed, Kwame, your tasks remain unchanged.

"

Coach Kruger didn't come and didn't intend to bring Iguodala up. The rookie's playing time would have been reduced to very little in the playoffs. He just wanted to stimulate Liu Mang. In that case, let Iguodala play.

All the words were spoken.

Iguodala never expected to play in the first quarter of the playoffs!

Seeing that both Josh Smith and Calderon have been placed on the inactive list, and I heard Calderon say not to have too high expectations for playing time in the playoffs, these first- and second-year players will not be able to play in the playoffs.

The purpose of the game is to experience the atmosphere of the playoffs, and Iguodala has therefore prepared himself mentally. In the playoffs, he may only be able to play in garbage time like at the beginning of the season.

But unexpectedly, he was suddenly replaced!

…

…

Although he said that, Liu Mang himself was also thinking of ways to deal with Arenas.

Through this game and his original impression of Arenas, Liu Mang feels that Arenas is like the shooting version of Ginobili. Ginobili has broken through to the top of the league, and his mid-range shooting is basically the same as never shooting three times in a game.

If you don't shoot normally, you can't make a shot anyway. He makes one three-pointer every game, but it's not a regular offensive method. Arenas has few layups, and his mid-range shots are very popular. His shooting percentage is not bad, and he makes 100% of his mid-range shots.

Thirty-nine, 36% are three-pointers, and the average number of mid-range and long-range shots is about 8 per game, and 80% of the shots are from mid- to long-range.

Moreover, both of them are the kind of players who are thought to be able to produce good statistics when leading a team alone, but find it difficult to win games alone in the playoffs. They need a good system to wipe their butts.

Playing against Arenas, who is so violent, it feels a bit like facing the outside shooting version of Manu Ginobili. He is simply a super nerve knife.

Liu Mang decided to play first and then talk about it. If it comes to scoring, he is not afraid of anyone. He is so confident and there is a king on the bench next to him!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry were chatting about how to deal with Arenas. As soon as they came on the field, the system prompt came!

"Ding... the king of substitutes triggered, from Jason Terry."

"Ding...Jason Terry, a natural big-game player, appeared in the playoffs as a substitute, with explosive abilities, ability evaluation of 90, 92 offense, 70 defense, 91 three-pointers, 88 mid-range shots, 85 layups,...

…”

Liu Mang's confidence comes from his own ability evaluation of 93, and Jason Terry, who exploded in the playoffs!

Three stars with an ability rating of 90! If they weren't all defenders, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry had overlapping playing styles, the Eagles would have gone sideways in the playoffs.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The 28-year-old Jason Terry is at his peak. Historically, he will be four free throws away from winning the Finals MVP next season.

After the timeout, the Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Wizards replaced Arenas, Larry Hughes, Antonio Daniels, Jamison, and Haywood in the lineup.

The Eagles have the ball, and Liu Mang is ready to start scoring points, singles versus singles!

Jason Terry served the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang pushed forward and asked: "You first or me first?"

Jason Terry shrugged and quickly ran to the frontcourt. Liu Mang understood and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and Larry Hughes defended him.

Liu Mang bent his waist, imitating Arenas's dribbling movement under the crotch, and advanced to the top arc. Jason Terry and Iguodala stood in the two bottom corners respectively, stretching the space in the top arc very wide.

Liu Mang stopped thinking about how to deal with Arenas and focused on his matchup with Larry Hughes.

Larry Hughes also focused on guarding Liu Mang alone and was ready to attack at any time.

Suddenly, Liu Mang suddenly stepped out to the right. Larry Hughes reacted immediately, but was worried that Liu Mang would change direction and break through from the left. After a beat, Liu Mang took a long step and rushed to the right.

Larry Hughes hesitated for a moment and was already occupied by Liu Mang, and he and he were parallel to the backboard!

Larry Hughes ran hard towards the inside and was in a position parallel to the backboard with Liu Mang. Suddenly, Liu Mang made an emergency stop. Larry Hughes stopped and rushed into the inside. Liu Mang was at the free throw line.

Emergency stop jump shot from mid-range!

"Ding... the sharpshooter is triggered at level 5. Because the host got rid of the perfect shooting opportunity, this shooting will not be disturbed by the rhythm."

Liu Mang's discomfort of sudden sudden stops disappeared, and his mid-range shots were like training, hitting the target hollowly!

After his mid-range shooting ability evaluation was improved to 90, Liu Mang could hit almost 87 or 8 out of 100 mid-range shooting trainings during training. If he was slower, he could even hit 92 or 3!

Although there is a gap between Nowitzki's mid-range training performance, which is rumored to have completed 100-for-100 shots in training, but it is already very good!

Watching Liu Mang return to defense after making the shot, Arenas felt that this scene was so familiar... wasn't it the same trick he had just used? That bastard was imitating him again!

In the first half of the first quarter, Arenas beat Liu Mang and scored 10 points and 2 assists on 4-of-6 shooting. Now he is more confident. He feels that he is no worse than Liu Mang and he wants to come back!

The Wizards attacked, Arenas advanced to the frontcourt and then singled out Iguodala.

Why do people always say that Magic's status as the number one player in history would be less stable if he contracted AIDS? It's because he was a big-game player in his rookie season.

As for ordinary rookies, generally speaking, Iguodala is like this. He was too excited. When he saw Arenas rushing over, Iguodala got up to him and did it. Arenas wiped him away and rushed forward.

He went to the free throw line and hit an easy jump shot.

After Arenas scored, he spread his hands towards Liu Mang, indicating that he had also scored.

"Hey, this kid is so big!" Liu Mang saw Arenas being so arrogant and was ready to have some fun.

Liu Mang received the ball from Kwame Brown, passed it to Jason Terry, and said something to Jason Terry. Jason Terry gave Liu Mang a strange look, but it was nothing serious.

Just do it.

Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, moved to the 45-degree angle on the left where he is best at fixed-point shooting, and waited for Jason Terry to challenge Arenas one-on-one.

Arenas saw Jason Terry advancing and was a little confused: Aren't we going to fight against Biao? Why did they change the players?

Substitutions are made, people are swollen, and there is nothing to fear. Arenas is waiting for Jason Terry to come over inside the three-point line.

When Jason Terry reached the top of the arc, he wanted to shoot directly, but the opponent's shot was too big, but he thought what Liu Mang said was quite funny, so he waved for Kwame Brown to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Arenas felt that he could defend himself. When he saw Kwame Brown coming to pick and roll, he immediately imitated Liu Mangrao's pick and roll to block Jason Terry's breakthrough. Liu Mang imitated him and he also wanted to imitate him!

Then, as soon as Arenas bypassed the pick-and-roll, he saw that Jason Terry hadn't moved at all! He took a three-point shot just one step outside the top arc!

At the age of 34, Jason Terry made 9 of 10 shots in the playoffs. Arenas actually defended around the pick-and-roll, and Haywood waited inside the three-point line to prevent Kwame Brown from cutting!
