: 650. Deceptive play

Stockton is Stockton, stunned when the body has no advantage at all, using technology and experience to help the Hawks tightly maintain the score, when the fifth minute of the second quarter, the Rockets Bian finally tied the score and the two teams scored 4
Although Stockton had a few minutes off during the break, but playing 10 minutes in a row was obviously unsustainable.
Liu Mang re-entered the scene and brought Jason Terry with Prince, Mohammed and Kwame Brown.
The Rockets replaced Francis, Mobley, Jim Jackson, Morris Taylor and Cato.
Mobley is back, Morris Taylor is back, but Yao Ming is still resting. Van Gundy is more and more cautious about using Yao Ming. He wants to continue to support Yao for a while from the outside line that played well in the first half of the second quarter. Keep a little more energy.
For this point, the Eagles also thought of it, so for the time being, the defensive method discussed by Liu Mang and Mike Woodson has not been implemented, but played normally.
Pause back, the Hawks have the ball.
Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, Francis may not be so careful to prevent others, and Liu Mang was very active every time.
It ’s just that the more active Francis is, the easier it is for Liu Mang to pass him. Francis relies on his physical fitness to want to steal by oppression, but Francis ’defensive awareness is really too bad. Tracy McGrady is okay, but the defensive awareness is terrible.
As soon as Liu Mang reached the three-point line, Francis pressed it up. Liu Mang pulled the ball to the left following Francis ’s push, and Francis flew up to the right. Liu Mang changed the direction and easily flicked Francis. Behind him, Francis flew straight towards the right.
Fighting Francis, Liu Mang has more and more experience.
After passing Francis, Liu Mang entered the three-point line and went straight to the basket. Kwame Brown and Mohammed stuck their defenders on both sides of the three-second zone. Liu Mang entered the basket and dunked easily to score two points. .
Francis's defensive is positive, but the effect is really moving, one step was passed, the Rockets' internal line is too late to even assist, and was long-expectedly blocked inside the Eagles.
The offensive and defensive conversion, the Rockets attack.
Francis felt that he was about to be beaten by Liu Mang again, and that kind of feeling was very weak. Now Liu Mang is no longer fighting against him like a rookie season with a small trick. Since last season, Liu Mang hasn't been too vain to him. This year, Liu Mang's strength has clearly exceeded him.
This sense of powerlessness made Francis crazy. Although he was criticized for his play and defense was also rotten in his physical quality, his fighting spirit and competitiveness have always been praised by people.
You can't beat hard steel!
And Francis faced very few point guards except Byron Davis, and he has a physical advantage for most people. He is going to use his body to dig hard!
The Eagles didn't send Ratliff or Rashid Wallace. Francis was confident that even if Liu Mang put him two meters, he could get in and stir up the inside.
However, after Francis advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Mang was found waiting for him on the three-point line! Did not retreat to the humiliating defense of the free throw line!
Francis was a little puzzled, but more ecstatic!
I finally have a chance to bully this by my body!
Francis immediately picked up speed and rolled towards the right side of Liu Mang's body. Liu Mang did not evade or choose to retreat and defend, but took a step to the frontal position where Francis broke through and lowered his weight to wait for the impact!
At this moment, Francis's facial expression was fierce, and he slammed into Liu Mang with all his strength. Liu Mang moved afterwards. Even if he overturned, it was also a blocking foul. Won't blow!
Francis hit Liu Mang hard and then ...
Francis seemed to hit a tumbler, Liu Mang ’s foot was only a little back because of the force caused by the impact, Francis himself was staggered by the force that he hit back, and the power of Francis was stumbled, Francis himself was hit Return!
Liu Mang's eyes were quick, and when Francis panicked and did not control the ball, he bullied him and stabbed the ball out, then immediately rushed out to control the ball and directly counterattack!
Francis was shocked and angry!
He was about to explode and immediately chased towards Liu Mang, the speed of the two was almost the same.
After reaching the frontcourt, Liu Mang took a one-step jump to the free throw line, changed the ball from the right hand to the left hand in the air, avoided the hand of Francis who chased back and wanted to chase the cap, and the left hand dunked the ball into the basket!
Liu Mang patted the muscles on his chest after landing, and said to Francis with a sincere expression: "You have a lot of strength, I hit a little bit of pain, but it is not enough, try harder next time."
After finishing Liu Mang turned back to defense.
Francis looked at Liu Mang's return to defense and felt he was dreaming? And it's still a nightmare!
If they finished the game last season and until now the two are fighting for the first time, if Francis is carried when he is forced to crush Liu Mang by force, he can still accept it, but just over a month ago, December 10 No., the two talents fought each other. At that time, Liu Mang could only retreat to defend, relying on the inside to defend him, but after more than forty days, Liu Mang could hold him hard!
Francis is a little ignorant!
He didn't believe what was happening. After Jim Jackson ran back to serve the ball to Francis, Francis pushed forward to continue the singles Liu Mang.
However, Hayes was famous for his ability to carry Howard and Bynum in the interior, and a pick-and-roll master who could change the guard at the outside. Liu Mang got a steady beep strength with the Hayes star card, and With his own better mobility, the single defense trapped Francis at the three-point line!
Francis saw Liu Mang's scornful eyes and was guarding himself with a smile, it was really irritating!
Forced to push Liu Mang, Francis just wanted to break into the inside line, but under Liu Mang's defense, Francis' power did not have the obvious advantage as before, and stood still. Liu Mang's power was as high as 91, center level, and even many jumps The center of the type is not as strong as Liu Mang, and the strength of mobile confrontation Liu Mang also has 84. Although it is not as scary as Francis ’88 power, it is enough to suppress Francis to the side.
Francis was forced to rush into the inside from the bottom line and came to the right edge of the three-second zone. At this time Kwame Brown blocked it, and together with Liu Mang, covered Francis' passing space. Francis could only withstand Liu Mang Push Liu Mang to the top.
But when Francis squeezed Liu Mang to get stronger, he couldn't squeeze! Instead, Liu Mang arrived at the basket and the hot pot feast was triggered. It accurately predicted the movement of Francis to pick up the ball and cut the ball with one palm!
Another steal!
This is not over yet. By the time the Rockets attack in the next round, Francis still loses his basic judgment and continues to break through. He has to beat the ball with two for the first time. Francis Three consecutive steals by Liu Mang!
The Hawks can run as much as they can. After Liu Mang's second steal, Jason Terry and Prince immediately hurried down. Using Jason Terry's ability to attract defense, Liu Mang passed to Running to Prince on the right at a 45-degree angle, Prince caught the ball and made a three-pointer.
After the third steal, the Rockets withdrew from the defense to be alert, and returned to the defense for the first time, but the Eagles five people pressed, the Rockets were not stable, Liu Mang faked a vote, hit the top arc and hit a three-pointer.
In just 59 seconds, the Hawks played a 7-0 wave, hitting the Rockets over to a timeout!
It was only one minute after the second, and it was a 7 to 0. Van Gundy was angry, and he was spraying towards Francis, and it was not time for Yao Ming to play. Van Gundy tried to let Yao Ming make the first quarter and Play more in the last quarter, three or four minutes at the end of the second quarter, and three or four minutes at the beginning of the third quarter, so that Yao Ming has enough physical strength to play the fourth quarter. This is the trick learned from the Lakers using O’Neal. Yao Ming The physical fitness is about the same as that of O'Neal at this stage. A team with a weak internal defense can play for 378 minutes. A team with a strong internal defense can only maintain the physical fitness for only 30 minutes.
Van Gundy Jr. resisted the idea of ​​replacing Yao Ming now, and angered Francis' possession of the ball, allowing Francis to share the ball with Mobley and Morris Taylor and others.
Van Gundy made arrangements based on the way they played during the first half of the second quarter. The Rockets all had ball attacks on the three outside lines. The offensive effect was very good in the first half of the second quarter. Morris Taylor replaced it, and Van Gundy Jr. was more confident. He felt that he had been beaten 7-0, completely by Francis, and a point guard was stealing three times in a row. This seems too exaggerated to Van Gundy Jr., is The other side was so lucky that Francis was a point guard anyway. How could he be snatched so easily, it was all because Francis was too careless and played so few rounds.
And Francis nodded with a dull expression. He couldn't believe what happened just now, but the fact was in front of him, he couldn't help Liu Mang even offensively!
This minute, Francis felt the oppression of the in Los Angeles from Liu Mang, and the feeling of attacking and defending to kill him!
Francis did not have any opinions on the arrangement of Van Gundy Jr., he ... counselled!
The two teams did not change, and continued the lineup just now.
However, after returning from the suspension, the Rockets' offense still could not be opened despite the fact that Francis began to share the ball.
Liu Mang locked Francis, mainly because Francis did not expect such a situation at all. When Francis did not expect that Liu Mang could actually carry his power, he was intercepted three times by Liu Mang, causing Francis to lose his accurate judgment, and After being beaten up, the next confrontation with Liu Mang completely ignored his own skills and things, but Liu Mang passed it.
And Mobley met Prince ...
Mobley is very good, very good, very good quasi-first-class star, breakthrough, three-point, stop jump and layup are very good, but facing Prince, in addition to three-point shots and emergency stop jumpers He does n’t have any solution at all, he can still throw back with a strong shot, and Prince ’s height and arm span and mobility are terrible for non-top fitness outsiders!
As for Morris Taylor, when he met Mohammed and Kwame Brown's rim defense, he pulled out and was shot to death by Mohammed. If he wanted to be shot by Kwame Brown, Cato's offensive end was This equipment, except for the second offense and direct dunk layup, has no offensive ability.
Jim Jackson ... I have to blame Pat Riley. He is now a shooting type offensive rebounder. In addition to fixed-point shooting and response, the offensive end also hits the rebound. Entering the inside encounter Kwame Brown and Muhammad has no chance at all, Jim Jackson can only shoot under Jason Terry's interference, and the efficiency is not high.
The Rockets called a timeout equal to no call, the only difference is that the strong voter changed from Francis to Mobley and Jim Jackson, the two can vote.
Counting that wave of 7-0, from the fifth minute of the second quarter, the Hawks played three and a half minutes, hit a wave of 16-6 scoring shock wave, that is, Jim Jackson and Mobley feel good today, one player vote A three-pointer was scored.
Van Gundy called a timeout again.
The Rockets with Yao Ming and the Rockets without Yao Ming are completely two teams, less than 30 wins and the gap between the Western Conference playoff teams!
The Rockets scored 48 points with three and a half minutes left, which can be said to be an excellent offensive performance, but the Eagles scored 58 points!
Seeing that it was Yao Ming's playing time, Van Gundy quickly replaced the starting lineup, trying to catch the score back between the halftime breaks.
The Hawks also started to make substitutions. Coach Kruger seemed a bit desperate for this substitution. However, the first half of the first quarter and the last time I played with the Rockets, it has been proved that when Yao Ming has sufficient physical fitness, the routine The defense simply couldn't prevent it. While Ratliff was there, Yao Ming was clever enough to open the space to play. He played mid-range shots and under-the-basket catches.
Unless the Hawks are on the side, there is a super-defensive mogul Mutombo in the late 1990s who has to be paired with a top blue-collar power forward in order to have a chance to prevent the combination of Yao Ming and Morris Taylor.
Therefore, coach Kruger can only try the unreliable defense developed by Liu Mang and Mike Woodson, and he can never watch Yao Ming come back to eat the difference! Surely Yao Ming is going to start digging the basket now, then he must be caught, and Yao Ming ca n’t be seen to eat, so that the Rockets will be revived offensively.
On the side of Liu Mang, he also took the mentality to give it a try. Anyway, he just opened the 10-point difference. You can give it a try.
Liu Mang now understands why some people say that Yao Ming ’s inside teammates are poor. If Yao Ming is on the court, his inside partner will be very powerful. Because Yao Ming took the defense away, his inside teammates look good, but Yao Ming is not. His inside teammates look like spicy chicken.
Mike Woodson summoned several players who wanted to play with Liu Mang to draw tactics together. Liu Mang went to the field and twisted his waist to prepare, then the next big thing!
...
The two teams began to rotate, and the Rockets put on the full starting lineup, want to chase points before the end of the second quarter.
Yao Ming is ready to kill the Quartet inside!
Although Ratliff or Kwame Brown has good single defense, but there is only one person. If Rashid Wallace is not there, Yao Ming is very confident, just he! And he was also ready for Muhammad or Boozer to fight with Ratliff together, just anyway!
However, Yao Ming saw that the lineup sent by the Hawks was Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Rahim, and Ratliff.
This is a bit confusing. Yao Ming knows that Raheem is very good at defending and can defend against power forwards. It is also difficult to prevent Morris Taylor! And it was Yao Ming who was confident that even if Rahim and Ratliff hit him together, he could go directly into the hard buckle. When playing the piston before, Ben Wallace and Bosh couldn't stop him.
Yao Ming has only one idea. He thinks that the Hawks want to speed up the counterattack. He is confident that as long as he plays a bit offensively, he can stop the Hawks ’cavalry tactics and not give them the opportunity to rebound and counterattack!
The timeout is over and the Rockets have the ball.
Francis advanced to the frontcourt and saw Liu Mang retreat to the free throw line to defend, and he didn't want to compete anymore. He wanted to finish the game quickly and go home to fight what happened!
Yao Ming was stuck in the basket with a strong lower limb strength. Although the lower limb strength was also strong, this time, he felt like he met O'Neal. Although he did not have the explosive power of O'Neal, Yao Ming was very stable! Stuck position with static force.
Francis lifted the ball to Yao Ming.
Although Yao Ming has a strength advantage, it is not big. It was okay when he was stuck. Now he needs to fight hard!
Yao Ming just received the ball and suddenly saw Liu Mang shrink directly to the basket!
That station is not the kind of station where the outside line clamps the inside line, but two stations where the inside line clamps!
Yao Ming clearly felt that as soon as he ran away from Ratliff and turned around, Liu Mang would rush to form a pinch, and it was a pinch on the ball!
If it's two inside defenses, as long as it's not a combination of Rashid Wallace and Ratliff, Yao Ming doesn't care so much, just enough, but Liu Mang is so short, it's too easy to cut the ball!
Seeing Liu Mang retreat to that position, Francis immediately cut from the middle to the inside line. Yao Ming immediately scored the ball and cut into Francis. Francis went straight to the basket. He felt that if he rushed like this, Liu Mang could not stop even if he was strong Not to mention Liu Mang, he rushed up to the basket at full speed, and the center could not stop it!
But as soon as Francis entered the free throw line, he saw Rahim stuck in front of him. When Yao Ming just got out of the ball, Rahim blocked it. At the same time, Ratliff started to circle Yao Ming. Yao Ming was on the right edge of the three-second zone. This little distance was awkward. He didn't have the ability to run back and get around. Liu Mang switched to Morris Taylor.
Francis immediately assigned the ball to Morris Taylor on the left, looking forward to teammates knocking Liu Mang directly over!
Morris Taylor received the ball a little bit outside on the left side of the three-second zone. After seeing Liu Mang behind him, he felt that he finally had the chance to play like that in the first half of the first quarter!
It may take some effort to play Rahim, but to play the little one-meter-nine man, Morris Taylor leaned the ball on the ground against Liu Mang, squeezed it hard, useless, knocked over in the low An opponent with such a big height gap is definitely hitting the ball with a ball, so he used it.
When Morris Taylor squeezed it up, he had already begun to imagine what action he would use to dunk, but when his power was exerted on Liu Mang, he found that the opponent was like a nail on the floor, completely unable to squeeze!
Morris-Taylor squeezed a little more unbelievably, still unable to squeeze!
As a power forward, Morris Taylor has a strength of 83. Even if he has a weight advantage, he will just have a wave with Rahim at most. However, Liu Mang ’s current lower limb strength is only the level of a real strong center. Morris-Taylor blocked it!
Morris-Taylor was not squeezed, surprised, and chose to turn around and cut, want to rely on weight and height to deal with Liu Mang, squeezed out, so turn around to suppress the head office weight!
Morris Taylor turned from the bottom line and wanted to directly attack the rim and layup.
Just when Morris Taylor turned to squeeze Liu Mang away, Liu Mang also judged that the other party would definitely not be able to carry himself by hitting him like this. However, his disadvantage of being short, short and light could also become an advantage! Liu Mang saw Morris-Taylor turn around and press up on himself, suddenly took a step back and took the chair to defend!
Morris-Taylor didn't expect this at all. He wanted to regain his overwhelming power and the upper body that had already made a move. It was too late to lose his weight and fall to the ground!
The ball goes out of bounds, the Hawks bottom line!
Everyone was stunned at the scene. Liu Mang defended against Morris-Taylor's opponent with a height difference of 13 cm and a weight difference of 15 kg.
Rao is a Hawks player who has blind confidence in Liu Mang. When Mike Woodson arranged this defense, they all felt too unreliable, but in the trust of Liu Mang, Liu Mang must have some tricks. , So I tried my best, but I did n’t expect Liu Mang to defend head-to-head and resist hard, and then really prevented Morris Taylor from going to the bottom line to suppress by weight, and then Liu Mang withdrew his chair to prevent him from getting down!
The Hawks had some tactical preparations before, and the Rockets were going crazy, especially Francis. He didn't expect that he couldn't carry Liu Mang, and Morris Taylor hadn't just passed it!
The big fat man t.n.t who is broadcasting this game is also terrified. How does he feel that this scene seems so familiar?
But this guy, that body type ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is not able to do such a defensive type at all!
Taking advantage of the dead ball, coach Kruger can change Boozer up to the offensive end, then change Boozer, and put Boozer on.
If there was Rashid Wallace, it would not be so troublesome, but now it is not.
The Hawks attacked, Liu Mang served, and served the ball to Jason Terry.
Jason Terry held the ball forward. After Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt, he did not ask for a single or open the space. Instead, he ran to the inside and asked for the ball on the right side!
Boozer pulled a step to the right of the 45-degree three-point line, pulled Yao Ming out, Rahim went to the left corner to open the space, Prince pulled to the right corner to open the space, Jason-Te Li hangs the ball to Liu Mang, who stuck Francis in the three-second zone.
Liu Mang has the ability to post. This was the last time that Xiao Lu had played. When playing the Nets this year, it was once used as a regular offensive method. The Rockets are not particularly surprised.
And Francis has excellent physical quality, and has played more times with Kobe. Low defense is better than outside defense. Francis has done a surprisingly good job. For Francis to defend against Liu Mang's low post, the Rockets players are quite assured.
however……
Liu Mang received the ball to observe the position of himself and the rim, and stabilized for two seconds. After the teammates pulled the space completely, the ball was hit, and a hit Francis directly, then turned to the left and turned the ball. Use your right hand to push the ball to the basket, one foot stuck on the line where Francis tends to move to the left, squeezing Francis directly against the waist and abdominal strength, forcing into the inside and catching the ball with both hands. Throw the ball into the basket!
Everyone at the scene looked stupid. When did Francis become so dishonest? Both ends of the attack and defense were blasted into scum!
The most surprising thing is that Liu Mang's style of play seems familiar to everyone! u
