The Wizards were in an endless loop. Arenas was really efficient in singles. Although his efficiency was a bit lower in the next five minutes, with 3 of 7 shots, he still scored 8 points. In addition, he scored 4 of 6 in the first half, for a total of 7 of 13 shots.

, with a shooting rate of more than 50%, while the rest of the Wizards only made 3 of 9 combined, with a shooting rate of 33%. Arenas scored 18 points in 13 shots, while the others only scored 8 points in 9 shots.

, the Wizards played right, Arenas is also very strong, but not strong enough.

But the more this happens, the more Eddie Jordan, who prefers triangle offense tactics, wants Arenas to play alone.

The Wizards have the lowest turnover rate in the league, averaging 13.8 turnovers per game this season, which is far lower than the league average of 15.4 turnovers. This is because other teams have begun to speed up, and the Spurs have increased their speed to a certain extent in the regular season.

Only the Wizards insist on playing a triangle offense. The Wizards' so-called triangle offense is a simple style of play where whoever has the opportunity to play alone among the three strong points, and then distribute the ball when double-teamed, is the same as the Lakers during the three consecutive championships.

It is the team with the lowest turnover rate in the league.

This trick is very effective for the Wizards in most games during the regular season. Arenas is good at mid-range and long-range shots, Jamison is top-notch in all-around inside and outside and even three-pointers, Larry Hughes has made breakthroughs, and the three of them are in good health at this stage.

During the regular season, they once reached fifth place in the Eastern Conference, only to be surpassed by the Bulls who showed strength in the mid-term and the 76ers and Magic who showed strength in the late period.

But the more this happens, the rest of the Wizards team becomes increasingly frustrated.

But the Wizards have no choice. Two of their three players are relatively easy to defend. Larry Hughes can't make mid-range shots. Jamison's style of play is soft, but Arenas can be strong.

Eddie Jordan continued to arrange singles tactics for Arenas. In order to prevent Dantonio Daniels from hindering the defense, Eddie Jordan changed the lineup. Arenas played shooting guard and Larry Hughes

Going to play small forward, second-year Steve Blake moved to the point guard position, while Jamison and Haywood continued to play.

In the playoffs, just as Iguodala thought before, the main players will have to play for a long time.

Arenas felt a little timid when he heard that he still had to be the main scorer.

People with fragile hearts generally think more.

Liu Mang just wanted to take advantage of Arenas's weakness, as well as the characteristics of his three-man perimeter trio with two singles players holding the ball on the outside and Iguodala holding the ball to organize the offense but not making people reassuring, to target Arenas.

He wanted to play singles to stimulate Arenas to continue playing singles, but he didn’t think too deeply about it.

But Arenas thought too much. He thought everything was Liu Mang's conspiracy!

He even believed that this game was Liu Mang’s conspiracy from the beginning!

Arenas began to completely deny his already very good performance in the first quarter. He ignored why the coach kept asking him to play in singles, and his teammates were willing to open up space for him to watch him play in singles. Larry Hughes did not move in the same direction as usual.

He yelled for the ball.

He is already the Wizards' only strong point against the Hawks.

Arenas didn't think too much during the game, he just did it, but during the break, he began to doubt himself, mainly because he was so miserably suppressed by Liu Mang before. He felt that he made 7 of 13 in the first quarter and surpassed him.

He himself was skeptical about scoring 18 points in a single quarter with the top 50% shooting percentage from the outside.

He felt that Liu Mang was deliberately playing tricks on him.

He saw Liu Mang easily score 13 points on 6 of 9 shots, and lead the team to a steady lead.

Mainly because he saw Liu Mang and Jason Terry using his style of play in the last five minutes of the first quarter and scoring a combined 13 points in 5 minutes. He felt that Liu Mang was playing with him.

This feeling was like a seed that quickly took root and sprouted, reminding Arenas of his fear of being dominated by Liu Mang during the four-year regular season after entering the NBA...

The kind of confidence that drops after being excited is even lower than the original low confidence, even to the point of collapse of confidence...

…

…

At the end of the intersection, the Eagles had a 6-point lead, and it was a stable lead. Although Iguodala was also beaten by Arenas, Arenas scored 8 points in 5 minutes.

Coach Kruger was so depressed that he wanted to beat Liu Mang, but Liu Mang and Jason Terry deliberately stimulated Arenas to shoot. Both of them had stronger firepower than Arenas, and they won steadily.

With a 6-point advantage, everything is fine.

In the second quarter, Liu Mang and Jason Terry continued to play, and Iguodala was replaced. Just get a feel for the playoffs. There is no chance to play until garbage time. Prince and Muhammad,

Mourning's substitute interior combination came on.

On the Wizards' side, they replaced Steve Blake, Arenas, Larry Hughes, Jamison, and Haywood. The three core outsiders and the main center continued to play in the second quarter.

Seeing the lineup the Eagles replaced, Eddie Jordan felt that he could try to get the score back during this period, as the opponent only had two players.

Liu Mang came on the field and saw the white point guard in the opponent's lineup. He was very impressed! The first shooting guard was Steve Blake, the Flash!

"Steve Blake, ability evaluation 68, offense 67, defense 70, three-pointer 84, mid-range shot 62, layup 78, speed 87, strength 81...Characteristics: Catalyst."

"Catalyst: Steve Blake is a tough guy point guard loved by all coaches. Every move he makes on the court is full of tough guy temperament. He is never timid and can always boost the morale of his teammates."

After looking at Blake's ability evaluation, it's really...hard to describe in one word. He is a standard white point guard with average speed, strong strength, and good three-pointers.

The key to this guy being able to fight for so many years is the characteristic "catalyst" that was digitized by the system for him to see!

Fortunately, his first shooting guard was resting on the sidelines, otherwise what would he have done if he had been beaten up by the Flash?

Joking in his mind, Liu Mang saw that Arenas had already passed halftime and followed Arenas to defend.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today’s confrontation with Arenas was still very exciting, but now it’s time to start rough defense. Just now, coach Kruger finally didn’t use any aggressive tactics and just told

He was afraid that Arenas would be as rough as Iguodala.

Liu Mang's defensive ability is much better than that of Iguodala at this stage, especially against someone with such skill. He will definitely not be beaten twice 2-1 in 5 minutes like Iguodala.

But to Liu Mang's expectation, Arenas did not go up to catch the ball. When he saw Liu Mang guarding him again, he actually pulled away to a 45-degree angle to wait for the ball!

Damn it! Liu Mang followed Arenas to a 45-degree angle in confusion. This guy was accurate in three-pointers. He could hit 36% of the three-pointers on a strong shot and averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game.

This guy is scary as an off-ball shooter, just like Jason Terry rarely shoots open but still does a good job of opening up the space.

Not only Liu Mang thought it was a ghost, but Blake also thought it was a ghost. The promised task was to dribble the ball past half court and hand it over to the boss to open up space? Why did the boss go to open up the space?

Blake is characterized by fast passing, accurate three-pointers, courage to confront despite being white, extremely stubborn personality, a standard tough guy player, but attacking in singles from the top of the arc... He is only a second-year second-round pick!

Larry Hughes was already ready to make an air cut to contain the defense, and Jamison also moved to the bottom corner. Neither of them expected this.

Blake saw his teammates pulling away. Although he thought it was a ghost, he didn't give up. Taking advantage of his height, weight, strength and other advantages when facing Jason Terry, he directly chose to attack!

Jason Terry didn't expect this scene to happen. He was squeezed away by Blake and rushed into the paint!

"The Flash" breaks through!

Blake burst into the three-second zone, and Mourning came up to defend. Blake released the ball very quickly. When Mourning defended it, the ball in Blake's hand was gone. Mourning quickly turned around to block the shot. Haywood

After receiving the ball, he quickly raised his head and threw the ball high. Mourning was out of reach, and Haywood hit the ball.

When Arenas stopped catching the ball, Eddie Jordan on the sidelines jumped up, but he didn't expect Blake to make such a good judgment and break the ball to help the team score two points!

Jason Terry has always been the defensive weakness of the Eagles, but he usually defends the opponent's off-ball shooters. God knows the opponent actually plays like this!

This time it was the Eagles' turn to be surprised by the opponent's "tactics". This move was played in seconds!

The live TV camera showed Coach Kruger. Usually it was this coach who used this kind of strange trick, but this time it was the other side's turn.

Coach Kruger was also surprised by Eddie Jordan's tactics. Didn't the opponent insist on playing the triangle offense?

Liu Mang felt like he had seen a ghost. He just recalled that the Flash played the first shooting guard. Co-author Jason Terry seemed to be the first shooting guard in this "Flash"?

Think about the players participating in the playoffs this year. Except for Ginobili, who is better than Jason Terry, who seems to be a pure shooting guard, Jason Terry is really the number one shooting guard!

What a scary guy!

But the more important thing is the offense. Mourning said that he was too anxious to defend, picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang said it was okay and he pushed forward slowly. This lineup is slow and waits for his teammates to get into position. In the playoffs, unless the game is one-sided at the beginning or encounters a deadlock, the Eagles will reduce their fast breaks.

Liu Mang dribbled past the midline and saw Arenas guarding Prince. Larry Hughes was guarding Jason Terry. Blake was waiting for him at the top of the arc. Liu Mang immediately headed to the right.

Accelerate from the front and try to break through directly from the right.

Blake moved actively to the left. Liu Mang reached the three-point line and Blake had already blocked him.

The Flash is awesome!

Before Liu Mang made contact with Blake, he kicked his right foot and swatted the ball to the left. He changed direction drastically, returned to the top arc, and made a strong breakthrough from the middle!

When he reached the free throw line, he continued to take off and make a mid-range shot, preparing to continue to stimulate Arenas in singles and continue to exhaust the touch of the rest of the Wizards until it was gone.

This is Liu Mang's strategy.

However, as soon as he grabbed the ball and jumped up, he was pulled directly from behind!

Blake chose to foul rather than let Liu Mang shoot directly!

Liu Mang was pulled to the ground. This caused Liu Mang so much pain that his shoulder landed directly on the ground!

"Boss of the system, use the injury potion superstar value at will!"

Liu Mang roared in his heart, immediately got up and walked towards Blake. The two were about the same height. Liu Mang pressed his forehead to Blake's, resisting the urge to hit him directly.

When he got up, the characteristic "cold-blooded" had been triggered, and he immediately understood what Blake wanted to do. Blake wanted to make a "contribution" and make a pair!

Blake was pressed against Liu Mang's forehead. Without any fear, Blake pushed back towards Liu Mang with all his strength.

"Oh!" Liu Mang didn't expect that the other party would dare to come back, I will!

Blake didn't show any weakness and pushed back towards Liu Mang. Both of them had a strength of 81, so they were evenly matched. Liu Mang was so angry now, why he didn't learn the Iron Head Kung Fu! Otherwise, he would blow this guy's head!

Liu Mang's mind was very clear, and after he cold-bloodedly suppressed his violent impulse to hit someone, this was what he thought of.

The fans at the scene were stunned. They were still booing. They thought they were going to see a heated fight. The Heat players watching the Eagles game in front of the TV were so excited that they jumped up. Who knew, the scene became a bit...
