: One thousand three hundred and ninety-six.

Garnett, Ben Wallace and Big Z have rotations inside. The defense is so strong that they can fight against people and help.
On the Eagles side, Kwame Brown and Marion's inside combination, coupled with Liu Mang's assist defense, the outside line is equipped with Battier, Maddie, Rondo and Granger, who are seriously defending the Bulls. The defense is also very coquettish.
Marion, the defensive end is indeed two grades away from Garnett, but his ability to change defense is better, he can defend the power forward, and he can change to the point guard position, the swing ability on the defensive end is stronger, and the role is not Garnett. Strong, but with Liu Mang, two top defenders with mobility, paired with Kwame Brown, a meat shield under the basket, and the Hawks' high-speed rotation defense system, barely compete with the Bulls from the defensive side.
As the game deepened, the two teams became more and more aware of each other's offensive tactics, and the defense had more and more regulations ... which led to the game becoming ... more and more ugly.
In the East, except for those tank teams that rank in the bottom of the offense and defense, the playoff team, the Bulls game can be said to be the ugliest, iron blood is iron blood, if not rely on Garnett fans, the Bulls The team is expected to become the team that David Stern hates like the original Pistons in space and time.
Even the game against the Eagles is so ugly. The Bulls' iron-blooded play is usually ugly.
The score also continued to decline. Because of this game, Liu Mang, his teammates, and the coaching staff were all ready to prevent the Bulls. They studied for a long time and were very active. In addition, the Bulls attacked outside, and the inside was Liu Mang, Marion, Kwame Brown, and others blocked him, which really prevented the Bulls.
The Bulls are also well prepared to defend the Hawks.
When the first quarter ended, the Hawks were 17 to 15, leading the Bulls by two points ...
There was no major change in the second quarter. Jason Terry was replaced from the eighth minute of the first quarter to the tenth minute of the second quarter. Only two shots were scored in total, scoring 5 points ...
Liu Mang made 4 of 11 shots in the first half and only scored 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks. The Hawks only scored 36 points in the half.
The Bulls only scored 37 points in the half, and the highest score was Chris Duhon who came off the bench. He scored 10 points in the half.
But in the second quarter, the Bulls clearly had the upper hand. After all, the Hawks only played like this occasionally, and the Bulls restricted their opponents to score less than 85. The first defensive team in the new century, they played like this every day. The Bulls, who are more adapted to this style of play, are beginning to gain the upper hand.
In the second quarter, the Bulls scored 22 to 19 in a single quarter, overtaking one point and entering the halftime break.
Impeccable!
Today, the Hawks' defense can be said to be extraordinary, and there is nothing wrong with the defense.
As for the offensive end ... Coach Kruger can only wait and wait for his player to throw the ball.
The Hawks made 16 of 41 shots in the first half, mainly because they could not score.
When returning from halftime, coach Kruger did not continue to send Rondo up. Although he went up, the defense became better, but on the offensive end ... Under the defense of the two teams, Rondo appeared on the offensive end. worse.
The Hawks sent Blake, Liu Mang, Battier, David Lee, Kwame Brown's rotation.
On the Bulls side, Garnett stayed on the field. Chris Duhon and Zefrosa, who performed well in the first half, stayed on the field. The center position was replaced by the big Z. The small forward was replaced by veteran Adrian Griffin. Today, McGrady made both offensive and defensive collapses and defeated Jordan.
In the third quarter, the Hawks attacked first, but Battier came over and made a three-pointer from the corner without scoring.
When the Bulls attacked, there were Liu Mang, Battier, and Kwame Brown. Facing the rotation of the Bulls' offense, the defense was still very strong.
Battier's single defense, Liu Mang's assist defense, Kwame Brown's basket guard, did a good job.
Garnett came up in the third quarter. When the offensive position tactics could not be played, he chose to ask for the ball, singles David Lee, but missed a jumper, Kwame Brown pressed Z to grab a defensive rebound.
Liu Mang received the ball Kwame Brown gave him and immediately gave it to Blake. After running to the frontcourt, Liu Mang went to the left of the free throw line and asked for the ball against Sephorosa.
Du Hong saw Liu Mang go back to high position and unconsciously took a step back to prepare for defense. Garnett near the left bottom line also tended to move to high position for defense.
Generally speaking, if a backup point guard meets the star of the game, he will definitely upload it.
But Blake didn't ... He took a cool look at the opponent's position, taking advantage of Liu Mang's back movement to attract the opponent's defensive attention, and "Lightning Step" started!
Blake went straight to the basket and threw a shot from the free throw line ...
Hit!
Blake, who had no breakthrough ability, scored two points with his "slow" breakthrough pace.
The Bulls didn't expect Blake to attack on his own. Whether it was in the Wizards, Bucks or now in the Hawks, Blake's scoring is mainly based on open shots and almost no breakthrough, so the Bulls are not paying attention to him. At one point, all are guarding against Kwame Brown's cut, David Lee may go to Liu Mang's high pick-and-roll, Battier's corner three-pointer, Blake's breakthrough score is beyond the Bulls' expectations!
38 to 37, relying on Blake's abrupt breakout toss, the Hawks overtake one point.
This ball ... the second place is the second to overtake. There is still a half-time game. Now one point is overtaken, it does not mean that you can still lead by 1 point to end the game.
But this ball gave Liu Mang great inspiration!
The human brain has a habit of thinking deeply about what has been done successfully. For things that cannot be solved, it will be placed behind things that are easier to solve.
The last time the Hawks played against the Bulls, it was broken into the rhythm of the Bulls, and this time, it was the rhythm of the Hawks taking the initiative to enter the Bulls and grind the defense with the Bulls.
Obviously, defending against the Bulls was an unwise choice, and the Bulls were gradually suppressed in the second quarter.
Whether it is Liu Mang or the Eagles coaching team, after seeing the effect of the defensive end, the adjustment is the defensive end. The offensive end is really difficult to get better from the tactical side, only to start with personal ability, so Liu Mang's third quarter is to use mid-range singles to create opportunities for himself or his teammates.
But in this way, it is no different from the first half. It is because the offensive end has no way to run. It can't play team tactics, and can only grind the position.
But Blake made a quick and quick vote, which made Liu Mang feel something different!
This is what Rondo cannot give, experience and big heart!
In the defense of the Bulls, Rondo did not dare to throw, but Blake was afraid to throw, just like the man who played the title of "Flash" in the league's first quarterback in Liu Mang's memory!
When the Bulls attacked, the big Z held a high foul and David Lee fouled to make a defensive foul and took the free throw line.
Both free throws were scored and the Bulls overtake the score 39-38.
Just when Big Z made a free throw, Liu Mang immediately asked for Kwame Brown under the basket.
Kwame Brown quickly withdrew to serve the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball at the 3-point line and quickly moved towards the frontcourt.
In addition to the big Z, the Bulls retired quickly. When Liu Mang arrived at the frontcourt, Garnett, Duhon, and Sephora had withdrawn from defense, and Seifer Rosa blocked Liu Mang into the three-point line. On the way, Liu Mang made an Iverson-style change of direction, leaving Sephora behind him and plugging in.
At this time, Du Hong and Garnett had held their positions. Liu Mang's movements changed from fast to slow, and he took the essence of human creeping. Garnett avoided avoiding fouling by Liu Mang, and focused on judging Liu Mang's real shot. At that moment, but Du Hong was a little irritable and jumped to block it!
Liu Mang completed the first step, and the second step was about to change direction, and he saw Du Hong jumping up and rubbing up decisively ...
"Ding ... Master Porcelain triggers at 5th level, the chance of the host making a foul and the referee blowing a foul shot increased significantly ..."
"Beep ..."
The referee's whistle came along with the system prompt. The referee hesitated whether it was a normal foul or a shooting foul. Liu Mang was a temporary foul-making action, and there was no clear shooting action.
But in the end, he gave two free throws.
"That's it!" Liu Mang found himself in a misunderstanding before!
Liu Mang tried many ways to restrict Garnett, many of them were not good. For example, fouling, Garnett has a defense, it is not easy to foul him.
From a technical perspective, Liu Mang feels that Garnett is indeed quite a unique talent in NBA history.
Going to the Biao team to defend with Garnett ... Prince has been just before, not to mention now.
It's better to stick to your normal play style. Of course, you have to do your best on the defensive end, but you can't attack the opponent on the offensive end.
Indeed, with the Bulls' defense, the Hawks play fast, and the offensive success rate may not be as high, but the grinding position ... the efficiency is equally poor. Since this is the case, it is better to choose your own team's better offense.
At least you can't be controlled by the bulls everywhere, and you can't be led by them!
Before Liu Mang made a free throw, he called his teammates together and gave a few words. Then he walked to the free throw line and made two free throws, 40 to 39. The Hawks overtook another 1 point.
Liu Mang didn't know whether his idea was correct or not, but he had to try it out, otherwise facing the Bulls' defense would be like entering a dead game. It must be tried.
After Liu Mang made tactical adjustments, the Bulls felt that the Hawks played a significant change.
If the Bulls shot in the middle and long range, Liu Mang immediately counterattacked, and Kwame Brown and David Lee fought for defensive rebounds. The Bulls also said that if they can't, Liu Mang can counterattack.
Of course, the Bulls are not so easy to deal with. Liu Mang scored a few times by counterattacking directly, and the scoring efficiency has not been qualitatively improved than in the first half.
but……
At least, the Hawks' offense is following the rhythm they are used to!
If the Hawks honestly hit the ground, the Bulls can easily defend, but Liu Mang rushed regardless of this, let alone the Bulls, Liu Mang did n’t know himself until the last shot. What kind of offensive choice will be made depends on the reaction on the spot.
Not to mention anything else, Liu Mang was so blinded that the game looked a lot better from the scene.
After Blake may have made a subconscious breakthrough layup, the Hawks have made quite positive changes. Coach Kruger understood this after seeing Liu Mang ’s counterattack to speed up to bring some different feelings. Afterwards, Rondo, McGrady, and Jason Terry, who played in rotation, mainly counterattacked after defense.
Although the Bulls played very offensively because the Bulls had a strong defense, Liu Mang scored 11 points in the third quarter and the Eagles only scored 23 points in the single quarter. When the three quarters finished, they played with the Bulls. 59 level, but at the very least ... Liu Mang ran to fight, threw more and counterattacked, and slowly felt it!
The game entered an uncontrollable situation!
Garnett feels that the game has lost control!
They did get the Hawks to only score 59 points in three quarters and defended well, but starting from the third quarter, I do n’t know when the third quarter will begin. Garnett feels that he has lost control of this game. There is no such feeling of grip in the first half of today and the last time I played against the Hawks.
22 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal.
Liu Mang's statistics in the third quarter looked dazzling ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But the Bulls actually defended very well. Liu Mang scored 22 points and shared 21 shots. Only 7 of 21 shots. Liu Mang made 3 of them. The limit was excellent. Liu Mang only forced two three-pointers in three quarters, and Liu Mang got 6 free throws.
But ... even if the Bulls defended so well, it restricted Liu Mang, and also restricted the Eagles to only get 37 points in the third quarter, but the Bulls did not have the feeling of a stable victory.
After the break, the atmosphere of the two teams was very tense.
In the crucial fourth quarter, the two teams scored equally, and returned to the same starting line, to start the final matchup.
On the Hawks side, the strongest lineups of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown played.
On the Bulls side, both Hinrich and Roal Deng are back. Nocioni really has no talent for Sephora. In the crucial fourth quarter, rookie Saifola got the chance to play, and the inside was changed back to Canada. Nate and Ben Wallace's super inside defensive combination.
Liu Mang watched Hinrich push forward, wiping his palms with sweat on his trouser legs.
In the last quarter, if you can't get it, the morale damage to the team will definitely be very large, but if you win, then after meeting the Bulls, you will have stronger confidence!
There is a feeling of fighting against the water.
Liu Mang glanced at his back from time to time. Sure enough, Garnett had moved when Hinrich was close to the three-point line. He didn't need Hinrich to pick and roll. Garnett took the initiative to block.
Liu Mang is ready to change Garnett before the defense, Marion has a defense to break through after the pick and roll ...
Who knows that Hinrich used Liu Mang and Garnett as the "gun frame", Rao picked and moved to the three-point line and threw it!
Hinrich hit a two-pointer, Stockton-style pick and roll attack!
