: 697. Madison's cry

Well, the scarred New York fans who have forgotten the pain are always the most interesting fans in the NBA. Seeing Marbury bring the Knicks to the playoffs, Liu Mang scored 60 points two months ago. Forgot.
Encountered by Liu Mang's strong upset, the Knicks fans are now on fire and seeing the Hawks players enter the field, especially when Liu Mang enters the stadium, the whole audience is booed.
When the Knicks players came out, the audience immediately turned into cheers. In the first two seasons when the Knicks were rotten, this situation is rare. New York fans are really "personal."
After Liu Mang entered the stadium, he saw many and many holding the sign of "Son of New York". If he got the title of "King of Madison", how would this matter?
Feeling the malice from Marbury, Liu Mang didn't think it mattered. Marbury couldn't even bring the tasks of the Avengers series to Liu Mang. Liu Mang knew that this guy was not enough to become his enemy.
Enjoying the boos of Madison Square Garden, Liu Mang dedicated himself to warming up before the game.
...
By 6:30 in the afternoon, the game was about to start.
Rashid Wallace and Ratliff X crossed their arms and then went to the middle circle. Liu Mang and Boozer hugged and came to the court. They came to the free throw line in the back court to wait for the jump.
The possible opponents in the playoffs are now firmly ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks had never planned to keep their hands. They must be scared. Now, because Liu Mang is involved in things, the starters have never stopped. At the same time, all the main forces were on the same side, sending Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff to play the starting lineup.
The Knicks also want to win. First, they now have a clear advantage in the eighth battle with the Celtics. They are already a strong team in the playoffs. Second, because of Liu Mang ’s provocation, plus They even cherished the dream of being able to play black eight again, so this game that was not valued very much now is very eager to win, and they want to increase confidence in the first round of the playoffs. This game was mobilized by Marbury. , I really want to win!
Even the former All-Star insider Antonio McDyess, who suffered from knee injuries and was directly reimbursed last season, actively applied for this game.
Coach Lanny Wilkens, who was fired from the Raptors head coach because of a strong desire to prevent the Raptors management from trading Carter, took over after Liu Mang scored 60 points against the Knicks. The original coach Don Cheney became the head coach of the Knicks. His excellent coaching ability is also an important reason why the Knicks can gradually improve their record to nearly 50% during this period.
Coach Wilkens saw the Hawks, his most glorious old club team. Whether he was a player or a head coach, the most glorious years were in the Hawks. Until now, he has found that he really is with the Hawks. The relationship is inseparable, no matter where you go as the head coach, you will form a beam with the Hawks, you can't afford it, you can't hide it!
Facing this team that was supposed to "belong to him", coach Wilkens found that he couldn't hide.
The Raptors have been miserable in the past two years, but the Knicks are still pretty good. The stars are always old, but there are many stars!
The Raptors sent Marbury, Anfini Hardaway, former Hawks No. 6 pick DeMar Johnson, and two Thomas with more rebounds, known as dirty legs Kot's Kurt Thomas, Antonio- McDyess.
This lineup, except for DeMar Johnson, if everyone else is three years younger, it's really bluffing.
Rashid Wallace and former old rival Antonio McDyess of the same time came to the middle circle to jump the ball.
Also one of the top power forwards in the West, the stage where the two played against each other has become the way it is now. When standing together, both of them are a little bit sighing.
With a sigh of emotion, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and the two immediately focused on the jump ball. The referee threw the ball into the sky. Both of them struggled to jump. Rashid Wallace leaned on a healthier knee. Antonio McDyess won the jump ball on the former physical blame.
The moment Liu Mang received the ball, he quickly advanced and attacked the frontcourt.
Liu Mang just got past the center line and was startled! The opposite Marbury, Pence, and DeMar Johnson stopped together!
by!
Marbury plugged in Liu Mang to understand, DeMar Johnson was squeezed away by himself, Liu Mang also understood, but this penny brother, we also had afternoon tea together, what does that mean?
Liu Mang had just crossed the center line, and had not completely crossed, he was hit by three people. The Knicks' defense was simply enough!
Liu Mang directly hugged the ball and turned to protect the ball with his ass. When he turned, he just aimed at Rashid Wallace who had passed Antonio McDyess and rushed forward after winning the jump. He turned his back to the basket. Throw the ball directly to the basket!
Shooting with the center line facing away from the hoop?
Fans on the spot looked baffled, and the three defending Liu Mang were dumbfounded. They just want to force Liu Mang to pass!
The ball thrown by Liu Mang with his back to the basket didn't even touch the rebound, and even fell half a meter away from the basket. It fell on the ground and bounced, just when people thought Liu Mang was forced. In a hurry to make a missed shot, Rashid Wallace rushed into the post and received a ball that bounced off the floor and violently smashed the ball into the basket!
From the ecstatic thought that Liu Mang made a mistake, to the pass-and-match cooperation of Rashid Wallace's dunk to turn this "shooting" into a dunk contest, the hearts of the fans and Knicks players on the scene seemed to be like roller coasters!
The alliance official of the technical station quickly discussed it and determined that this ball was a pass! Added an assist to Liu Mang's statistics!
The three people who included Liu Mang didn't expect to play like this? What kind of self-confidence is this!
Just when Marbury felt that Liu Mang was "very big," Liu Mang made a surprised expression while retreating and said, "It's helpful to throw too much? Good luck!"
Marbury almost believed that surprised expression, bursting acting.
"This bastard!" Marbury felt a deep sense of humiliation.
return!
Be sure to return it!
Marbury returned to the rim and was about to advance after receiving the serve. A guy taller than him was blocked in front of him.
Prince!
The Hawks are pressing!
Marbury had just received the ball and was about to shoot it on the ground. He quickly hugged the ball and was almost stolen by Prince's long arm!
At this moment Marbury felt that his heart was about to stop beating, too suddenly!
Prince did not talk much but the thief was ruthless, and it surprised Marbury.
Marbury is worthy of Marbury. After slowing down, he pressed against Prince's full court and quickly advanced to the frontcourt before the eight-second violation.
Seeing Prince keep guarding himself, Marbury looked up at him with disdain and looked at him with contempt.
Marbury's breakthrough was really powerful. Prince looked at the fine footsteps and didn't know which direction to move. In a moment of hesitation, Marbury played a cross-over crotch and took the ball from the crotch of Prince Shoot, when Prince turns his head to watch the ball, break from the right side of Prince!
Too cool this feeling, Marbury likes to be defensive most, he likes this extraordinary!
However, Marbury just wiped out Prince and received the ball, and someone blocked him in front. Liu Mang released the penny in time to make up for Marbury.
Marbury did play selflessly for the first year after returning to New York. After taking the ball, the horse was uploaded to the vacated Anfini Hardaway, but the biggest gap between Marbury and the real top passer was him. One pass is not fast enough!
After Prince reacted and was teased, he was not discouraged. When he saw Liu Mang's defense came, he immediately changed his defense and ran to Anfini Hardaway. Running towards Anfini Hardaway, Marbury's pass had just reached Anfini Hardaway, and the punch between Prince and Rahim had arrived!
As the core player who could reach the finals in the Eastern Conference of the Iron-Blooded East, Anfenni Hardaway was terrified to see the Hawks' quick defensive rotation!
He also played with the Hawks when he came to the Knicks, but he had seen the Hawks so seriously! This defensive rotation is simply!
Targeted, and the speed of rotation defense is fast, Anfini Hardaway saw the Demar Johnson standing immobile outside the three-point line, but had no choice but to pass it.
How are you doing? What a good physical quality stunned what to do!
Demar Johnson received the ball and did not take advantage of the fact that no one broke through the inside line, picked up the ball and threw it ...
If Demar Johnson can make a three-pointer, he will not be abandoned by the Hawks. A bang will be heard in the ears of everyone on the scene. Ratliff under the basket will carry Antonio McDyess. , Rashid Wallace protects the rebound.
"Return to defense!" Marbury actually began to attach importance to the defense. The ball thrown by DeMar Johnson was grabbed by Rashid Wallace and defensive rebounds.
Marbury said that his leadership skills are not bad. If he doesn't have such a bad personality and so many off-site chores, he is indeed a good leader. For example, when he is old and recognizes the reality.
Under the leadership of Marbury, the Knicks retreated quickly, the Hawks failed to play a defensive counterattack, which made Liu Mang quite surprised. It is a postseason team!
But this makes Liu Mang feel more interesting!
Liu Mang received a pass from Rashid Wallace and steadily advanced.
The first ball Liu Mang wanted to hit the opponent by surprise, the opponent actually saw it, Liu Mang was lucky, and had the opportunity to directly send assists, mainly teammates tacit understanding.
This time Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and saw the Knicks' defensive formation, it was really not bad!
A glance at coach Wilkens on the sidelines. When the team's senior came to the Knicks, it really brought something very different to the Knicks.
The Knicks guarded a joint defense!
Liu Mang saw that the opponent did not pay much attention to the defense of three points. The three men guarded the bottom line. They seemed to block the breakthrough and the air cut. They also guarded the rebound. Demar Johnson, Kurt Thomas, Antonio -The height of these three McDyess is not high. All three are 2.06 meters, but they are very mobile and have good rebounds. Even Demar Johnson has 5 rebounds per game.
After Liu Mang saw the intention of the other party's joint defense, he yelled, and Marbury and Anfini Hardaway on the line were alert immediately. Liu Mang was lowered and his teammates rushed to the inside.
Marbury and Anfenni Hardaway were going to block the people, but Liu Mang, who has been the most concerned in their eyes, also broke through!
Liu Mang went straight from the middle! Marbury and Anfeni Hardaway came together to clamp Liu Mang in the arc position outside the free throw line. Liu Mang did not choose to pass, but after seeing all his teammates rushing into the inside line, he greeted Marbury and Anfenni Hardaway's defense, two long shots!
Under the attack of Marbury and Pence, Liu Mang ’s mid-range shot was purely blind, and he did n’t have any score at all, but Ratliff and Rashid Wallace occupied the commanding heights in the air, forcing them in and pushing each other All three of the rims attracted the past, Rahim grabbed the offensive rebound and rose again, smashing the ball into the rim!
The Knicks' defense is good, but they have an inherent disadvantage and they are too short! In addition to Liu Mang, the Eagles even have the shooting guard Prince as high as the opposing center!
If the Knicks honestly grab rebounds and play normally, it wo n’t give Rashid Wallace and Ratliff such a good chance to attract rebounds and block them. The Hawks ’offensive rebounds are not that easy, but Who made the Knicks want to play defense to force the Hawks to shoot outside?
Of course, no team will play like the Hawks, one shot and four rebounds. The key height is still so high. The Knicks have never encountered such a play!
4-0, the Hawks scored two goals in a row!
The teammates were very happy. In the past, Liu Mang started scoring and then continued Liu Mang to score. Today both goals were scored by them. Liu Mang ’s teammates felt that something good was going to happen today! Just like Liu Mang said!
However, as a party that is stumbling on the enthusiasm of his teammates, Liu Mang feels in his heart that the Knicks are determined to prevent him! Obviously Marbury and Anfini Hardaway have the opportunity to block Prince and Rahim, but they will not allow Liu Mang to take a shot!
In this case, Liu Mang's heart also turned, thinking that he still has a 2.6 points per game gap with McGrady, so just do it today!
revenge!
Be sure to take revenge!
When the Knicks attacked again, Marbury was pressed by the audience just after receiving the ball!
Marbury expected this, and he was ready to catch the ball and throw away Prince with speed, but the press of the audience changed.
Changed to Liu Mang!
Marbury was completely unable to get rid of a change of direction. Liu Mang learned the mad-dog defense from the "batter" lover of a seaside city, just like a rabid dog, biting the horse. Brie!
Liu Mang's defensive enthusiasm also made the Hawks' defensive oppression even stronger. Ratliff guarded the basket. Rashid Wallace and Rahim prepared for defense at mid-range and close distance. To the most solid back is Ratliff, Prince chases Anfenni Hardaway.
Marbury was pushed into the frontcourt by Liu Mang before the eight-second violation, and saw Demar Johnson leaked again. Rahim saw two Demar Johnson leaving his team. There is still little progress in the year, and he gave up decisively and blocked others. If he can cast in, Rahim recognizes!
But it ’s not just Rahim who ca n’t look down on DeMar Johnson, Marbury ’s teammates ca n’t look down on it. If the Alan Houston reimbursement for the season, the Knicks ca n’t possibly sign this rookie contract without being finished and be slammed. Deer cut off No. 6 show.
After getting used to Liu Mang's defense, Marbury took a step back. When Liu Mang pressed it again, the fine footsteps suddenly accelerated and forced from Liu Mang's left side!
Marbury's breakthrough was really powerful, and Liu Mang couldn't prevent it, so the oppression defense he chose could not be prevented anyway, so just put pressure on this guy.
Marbury made a breakthrough from Liu Mang's left. Liu Mang immediately posted it again, trying to put pressure on Marbury, but the pressure was not enough. Marbury, who was 27 years old and was at the peak of physiology and technology, was too difficult to prevent. After having a better head coach to make a better offensive position arrangement, Marbury's breakthrough became a catch.
Marbury rushed to the basket from the left and even Raheem failed to react to the first time to block, Marbury killed the basket!
Fortunately, Ratliff's lateral movement was good, moving over and holding his hands up in front of Marbury.
Such a defense, Marbury was very disdainful, jumped up, folded his waist in the air, pulled the lever away from the catching Liu Mang's cover, sideways from the right side of the arm raised by Ratliff toss the ball to the rebound !
One dozen and two, and completely avoided the defense of the hand. When Marbury made a series of actions from breaking through Liu Mang to tossing and turning in the air, Madison Square Garden was already boiling!
But surprises are always difficult to achieve. Marbury just throws the ball out and Rashid Wallace appears! Immediately before the ball hits the rebound, the ape arm stretched out, and the big hand put the ball on the rebound!
Ratliff stood by and seemed to take the initiative to raise his hand against the background. It was not useless. He gave Rashid Wallace the perfect chance to make up the cap!
Rashid Wallace and Ratliff's tacit defensive cooperation!
The ball was rebounded by Rashid Wallace on the rebound, Liu Mang actively grabbed the ball, received a defensive rebound and immediately counterattacked!
Running towards the frontcourt!
Marbury shocked how the Hawks defense can be so strong, almost Spurs, Pistons level, shocked, immediately chased towards Liu Mang.
Marbury, who had been delayed for a second, could not catch up with Liu Mang, but it really caught up!
Demar Johnson sees Liu Mang as an "enemy", and he doesn't care about anything, just to block Liu Mang, and to catch Liu Mang with Marbury who is catching up behind, and plug Liu Mang in the center line!
Liu Mang was originally the first team on the Hawks side, who knows that Demar Johnson is waiting for him to fight back, and he was ready to block early. As a former teammate, Demar Johnson played against the Hawks. The team's cavalry company was too familiar with the shock.
Liu Mang looked at Prince and Raheem, who were obviously slower than his own, and rushed past him. Anfenny Hardaway and Kurt Thomas could not keep up, and Liu Mang burst into tears. Throw the ball to the frontcourt without scoring, and assists are not bad ...
But ... Liu Mang didn't even get an assist!
Rahim, who received the ball, saw that no one was catching up, and also played hi. He threw the ball to the rebound. Prince jumped high, and the ball rebounded from the rebound rebounded and pushed the ball into the basket!
Beautiful air connection, but Liu Mang watching this scene is bleeding!
Liu Mang is completely angry now!
DeMar Johnson! Stephen Marbury!
Both of them hurt!
Not only did he not score, he had not assisted!
Liu Mang was originally planning to refresh the Knicks' single-game assist record at Madison Square Garden. Kidd maintained 19 assists in a single game. He just wanted to refresh the assist record here.
But I didn't expect these teammates to actually waste his assists ... It's not a waste. Liu Mang can't blame his teammates, and it's useless to blame. Johnson!
Isn't it defense?
Liu Mang looked up, 6 to 0 ... anti-death Knicks!
...
Marbury showed his leadership ability to mobilize the enthusiasm of the Knicks, want to kill the Hawks.
But there is a very real problem. A player who is so confident in Marbury has not taken this kind of thing into consideration at all, that is, the strength gap between the Knicks and the Hawks!
The Knicks are full of aggressive offensive and defensive spirits, and will not give up, but instead make the Hawks more active!
In particular, their strict defense against Liu Mang did make Liu Mang play a lot of iron and scored very few, but it made Liu Mang become defensive and caught them biting like rabies. Liu Mang was the soul of the Eagles. He It may not be the nominal boss, and the low position of the tactical core is not as good as the three people of Rashid Wallace, Rahim, and Boozer. He is just a scorer, but he is the real soul of the Hawks, Liu Mang. The enthusiasm of the Eagles completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the entire Eagles team!
The most important thing is, as long as it is defended, the Hawks have a chance to counterattack. Liu Mang does not have the greed to send the ball when it is hit, even if there is no assist, it is sent out. In this situation, Liu Mang either assists or passes, and it is impossible to score. The opponent's defense is too excessive, but the defense is Liu Mang's own wish.
Today, Liu Mang arrested Marbury to defend himself! Plus teammates, crazy defense together!
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Hawks defended the Knicks twice and played a wave of 6-0, suppressing the morale of the Knicks' opening. Then when Liu Mang was completely crazy, the Knicks suffered the strongest crit in team history!
In the first seven minutes, until the seven minutes before the official suspension, the Knicks only scored a sports goal by relying on Kurt Thomas's layup, and none of the other sports goals, except for Marbury got 4 free throws, 4 With 3 free throws, the Knicks were defended by the Hawks' super-fast rotation defense and basket pressure, and Liu Mang and Prince's top single defense. The Knicks did not score any other points!
Compared to 5, the Hawks scored 16 points in half a quarter!
At this point, the crazy defense of the Hawks kicked off, unstoppable!
Even Jason Terry, who came up from the bench, had a defensive enthusiasm. He did not have any intention to keep his hands with Liu Mang, Prince, Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown in the second half of the first quarter. , Crazy defense.
Coach Kruger also cooperated with Liu Mang's emotions. At most, a defensive black hole was put on. The other four people must have defensive capabilities and crazyly defensively attack the Knicks.
In the first half of the first quarter, the Knicks were considered "good". After they entered the rotation, Antonio McDyess went off and replaced the older veteran Mutombo who did not know how many years old he was with the top salary. The Knicks could n’t keep up!
In the last 5 minutes of the first quarter, the Knicks scored only 4 points and only 9 points in a single quarter. The Hawks played a 35-9 score in a single quarter!
The scene is quiet!
Playing, when the Hawks scored more than 30 points in a single quarter, and the Knicks did not even score in double figures, the sound of the audience was getting smaller and smaller, and it was completely quiet when we rested during the quarter!
During the break, the Knicks boss came again. Coach Wilkens was an individual. Unlike Don Cheney, he was different from the boss ’s dismissal. When he saw this situation, he saw the Eagles. Crazy like a defensive counterattack, I know that today is over, seeing the boss coming and asking the players not to give up, coach Wilkens actively cooperates, how good is the Knicks coach, the salary is so high, 600 In a year, coach Wilkens wo n’t have trouble with money.
In the second quarter, the Knicks changed back to the main force. On the Hawks side, Liu Mang, Prince, Barnes, Mohammed and Kwame Brown played and continued to defend!
...
...
In Manhattan Island, New York, the clear night sky suddenly began to rain.
The rain seemed to echo the wishes of fans of the island's richest sports club.
At 6:30, the Knicks started their home game against the Hawks. At 9 o'clock, it was the peak period of traffic jams when people left.
But it was only after eight o'clock, and a large number of vehicles began to leave from several large parking lots with more than 2,000 parking spaces around the Madison Square Garden on Eighth Avenue. The traffic jam on Manhattan Island has just been blocked from six to eight. The traffic jam was over, and another round of traffic jam began immediately. The traffic police friends did not even have a chance to rest.
Madison Square Garden, with 19,713 original seats full, less than half of the people left, or die-hard fans, but Spike-Lee, who claimed to be the most die-hard By the way, all that remains is true loyalty, or else ... Fans who have already fallen!
After three quarters, the Hawks are 1 to 67, 54 points ahead of the Knicks!
This kind of difference makes many fans who have returned because of the Knicks' record pick up at this stage. The rest of the fans are ordinary basketball fans who come to watch the lively and the visiting team stars, and those real Knicks. The team's loyalty ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The Knicks' silly son boss James Dolan was still on the sidelines at this time to furiously want his own players with empty eyes and complete daze. The Knicks ’team rules are the most stringent team rules of all the league teams established by the Pat Riley era, and they are the league-approved team rules made by the league rules as much as possible by Pat Riley. Refusing to obey the arrangement to play, directly deduct the salary of the game.
54 points behind, Rao is arrogant like Marbury. When he played, he did not have any fighting spirit.
The Knicks still did not give up, just in line with Liu Mang's heart!
54 points? Is it far from 58? 58 is not far away, how far is it from 68?
Liu Mang, who scored 6 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists, was definitely not because he wanted to win three doubles! Absolutely not!
When the Knicks players saw Liu Mang again, Marbury couldn't find another pursuit. If he couldn't do anything else, Liu Mang couldn't score in double figures!
...
At the end of the quarter, Liu Mang played for 6 minutes, but was eventually replaced.
Coach Kruger could n’t see it anymore. Although the Knicks had already collapsed and their rebounds were n’t good enough, the Hawks ’offense had been violent. However, it was true that Liu Mang had shot 1 of 17. Have spicy eyes.
When Liu Mang was replaced, looking at his 8 points, 13 rebounds and 20 assists data, he couldn't stop his grief!
In the end, the Hawks leaped again in the final quarter. In the case that the Knicks owner James Dolan refused to give up, the Hawks did not leave their hands. The Hawks players can be as big as they can. Hi already!
In the last quarter, the Eagles made another 29:13 crit!
150 to 80, the Mad Eagles bloodied Madison!
