: Nine hundred and forty-four. The generals of the first battle

"We can't give up! Basketball is round, as long as we work hard, there will be hope!" Jamison loudly cheered his teammates.
The Wizards are a youth team. Except for the Lakers veteran Samaki Walker, the oldest players are Antoine Jamison and Larry Hughes who entered the NBA in 1998.
Although Jamison's leadership ability is average, the Wizards players are young and can easily be mobilized.
There is a person desperate but eager to break away from this tragic fear, this person is Gilbert Arenas.
In the past, Liu Mang only played in the regular season, but now he meets Liu Mang in the playoffs. After this match, two situations may occur.
One is to defeat Liu Mang and break the heart demons; the second is to continue to be defeated by Liu Mang, and there will be no more than ever ...
Arenas has been almost depressed in the face of Liu Mang. The original depression was that he started to encounter James in the playoffs for three consecutive years in the 05-06 season. He was beaten into depression. Some fans joked that he pulled the gun in 2009. Because I was depressed by James, I couldn't bear it ...
Arenas are now eager to beat Liu Mang more than anyone. As a rookie of the same year, he is neither in the same position as Liu Mang as Gasol nor wants to be Liu Mang ’s teammate like his nasty champion Yuan Lang. There was no such thing as Parker's NBA entry and he would follow Duncan's championship less than two years ago. Parker was the first player to win the championship in the 01st season, mainly because the Lakers did not have a draft pick in 2001.
Arenas came out of the second round, and is very similar to Liu Mang ’s fate. Both started in the rookie season and far outperformed himself. However, Liu Mang is the more dazzling one. Arenas has always been In the shadow of Liu Mang.
Arenas can only beat Liu Mang, even if he can win a game, his demons can be resolved, but four years later, he has not yet won a victory against Liu Mang.
Arenas does not want to go on like this, he wants to win!
...
...
Watching the regular season championship flag rise, the Eagles players are very excited, mainly a few new players, including Alonzo-Mourning, he has not won the regular season championship.
The championship banner is embroidered with the names of each player of the Eagles, the coaching staff, and the boss, including the names of Tony Allen and Ariza, and Kevin Willis who left the team, which is in NBA history. There is a small mark left on it, even the old players are full of emotions.
And Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Mohammed, the three players who have been on the team, are in general interest, and have already won the third regular season championship banner.
If it weren't for its own team, although it was one of the eleven teams established by the NBA, it didn't have much honor. The arena was empty, and Liu Mang wanted to recommend it as straight as the Celtics and Lakers. The banner of the championship has been hung, but although it is a veteran team, and it is one of the only four teams remaining among the 11 teams at the beginning of its establishment, it has a longer history than the Lakers, but it has not accumulated much. , Can only be hung first.
After the championship banner was raised, the pre-match activities were almost over. Waiting for the perfect empire song to be prepared, the game will begin.
When playing the American Empire Song, Liu Mang looked at the strength of the Wizards' lineup.
Arenas, ability evaluation 87, Jamison, ability evaluation 86, Larry Hughes, ability evaluation 88, the trio is still so good, the others are not good, Haywood ability evaluation 73, Jarvis- Hayes, ability evaluation 69.
Arenas finished the regular season this season, averaging 25.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.1 assists, but the Wizards' best performance is Larry Hughes, averaging 23 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 2.8 steals, all-around offense and defense, is the Wizards The real core, Arenas is relatively equivalent to a weakened version of Liu Mang with a little more passes.
As for Jamison this season, he has only averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game. His tactical status is not high, his offensive strength is weak, his blocking and stealing data are almost equal to 0, but his attitude is good. At least he will not become a black hole. Nowitzki.
I think that Jamison ’s data in the first three years of his career was a lot better than Nowitzki, but his determination on the Warriors and the Warriors to throw away any Curry star, let them let go one by one. First-class star or star embryo.
Arenas was compared with Liu Mang for no reason. The players of the same session were all the first scoring point guards, all second-round picks, holding the highest and second highest salary in the 01 session.
Looking at the strength of the Wizards ’main force, there are three stars. The role players except Haywood and Antonio Daniels on the bench, there is no player with average starting strength, mainly because the team is reluctant to spend money, they 4900 The salary of 10,000 has not yet reached the salary cap. Except that Jamison and Arenas are tens of millions of annual salary, Larry Hughes holds the middle class. The remaining players with the highest salary are the 2003 No. 10 show with 2.48 million dollars. Jarvis Hayes.
...
At the end of the preparation time before the game, with Prince's dance and Kwame Brown slap the magnesium powder flying in the air, the scene lights dimmed and the scene was quiet.
Rashid Wallace's rough face appeared on the big screen, a roar, and the extremely quiet stadium just now detonated!
Liu Mang sprinkled the magnesium powder into the air and walked onto the court with McGrady, who had consulted with the referee for a softer ball with a little less gas.
"Ding ... The Hawks Devil triggered at home, the morale of the Washington Wizards was greatly reduced, from fans of Rashid Wallace and Phillips Arena."
"Ding ... Gilbert Arenas is in a state of backwater battle. This round of the series ignores any external interference and offsets the pressure of the Hawks devil at home."
Liu Mang didn't expect to hear this prompt!
"Yo hello, is this guy going to eat people?" Liu Mang noticed the stern eyes that Arenas looked at when he looked at him.
Arenas peak period is also a top-level star. At that time, Arenas, Liu Mang felt that it could give a threat, but now Arenas ...
Beat him!
Arenas is now judged by the system to be in a state of war, but Liu Mang does not have much fear. Liu Mang ’s current idea is to do it!
On the Eagles side, Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown all made their debuts.
On the Wizards side, the starting lineup of Arenas, Larry Hughes, Antoine Jamison, Jarvis Hayes and Brand Haywood appeared.
"Tai Shaun, are you going to prevent Arenas or me?" Liu Mang asked Prince.
"Either way." Prince responded.
The main reason is that Arenas and Larry Hughes have the same strength. McGrady needs to defend Jamison, Liu Mang and Prince who are the same as Arenas or Larry Hughes.
"Then I will defend Arenas!" Liu Mang wants to play against Arenas, anyway, these two are the best players in the outside world.
"it is good."
Prince is as cool as an emotional killer.
Who is the boss? Liu Mang felt severely frustrated. He wondered if he should be cooler?
After seeing Liu Mang glance at himself, he began to be distracted. Arenas' simmering energy was ignited and he wanted to win!
Kwame Brown and Haywood, the two "enemy", came to the middle circle. Of course, the enemy is Haywood's perspective. Now Kwame Brown has not taken the grievances with Haywood to heart, and his vision is high. After that, the previous nasty things would not care so much. Kwame Brown's view of Haywood was to deal with this guy well. This guy's blocking ability and blocking ability are very good.
The referee came to the middle circle, pointed to both sides, blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, and threw the ball upward.
Heywood is struggling to take off, but as the players of the same session are all physical men, the reason why the champion is the champion is because his physical fitness is better than other physical men of the same session!
Kwame Brown drove the racket to the rear with a small gap in the palm. Liu Mang received the ball and passed it to McGrady. He ran forward.
Liu Mang was posted by Larry Hughes just after crossing the center line.
Liu Mang's continuous lateral rapid acceleration and deceleration run did not get rid of Larry Hughes, Larry Hughes focused on defensive Liu Mang, the consciousness was too good!
Moreover, the Wizards did a good job in defense. Liu Mang went to the inside and wanted to borrow a pick-and-roll. The opponents used the method of topping up to block people in advance. In the playoffs, the referee ’s penalty size became loose. This kind of body did not sound against the referee. post.
Worthy of being the best defensive player among outside players this season! Liu Mang sighed sighingly that Larry Hughes used his consciousness, physical fitness and teammates' defense to run to the left of the 45-degree angle, the best two-winged 45-degree angle three-point line to open the space.
McGrady saw that Liu Mang had no chance there. When Liu Mang took Larry Hughes back to the left at a 45-degree angle from the inside line, he immediately chose to break out, easily throwing Jamison behind and rushed to the inside layup. Scored two points.
The opponent's inside and outside teams work together to defend Liu Mang. As long as McGrady passes the defender from the other side, it is too easy to score inside!
The offensive and defensive conversion, the Wizards attack.
Seeing Arenas pushing forward, Liu Mang stayed out of the three-point line. This season, Arenas ranked eighth in the league in three-pointers per game, averaging 2.6 per game, and a 36% shooting rate. Very accurate three-pointer.
Arenas most loved fans and made him unfavorable for Wizards coach Eddie Jordan is his iconic super three-pointer.
Arenas saw the expectant expression of Liu Mang after halftime. Arenas tried hard to suppress the indignation in his heart and the fear of never winning Liu Mang, observing Liu Mang's defense.
Arenas knows Liu Mang's defense very well, and Liu Mang is good at defending both technical and speed singles, unless the skills are as good as Ginobili, or as Kobe, Wade, and Francis are deliberately strong by the body. Eat, otherwise it is difficult to single Liu Mang.
Arenas calmed down and waved to pick and roll.
Heywood came out to block Liu Mang, Liu Mang was afraid of Arenas ’break-through jumper, instead of going around the pick-and-roll from the front, but leaning against Haywood to quickly bypass the pick-and-roll and head towards Arenas’ breakthrough route, but Liu Mang went around After the pick-and-roll, I saw Arenas moved only one step!
Arenas was in a line with Haywood and the rim, pulling up a three-point shot across the three-point line!
"Bang"
"Uh"
The vote is very positive! The positive three-pointer hits the small rectangle of the rebound and bounces into the basket!
Arenas hit a three-pointer when he came up!
How dare to throw it!
Kwame Brown's three-point defense against Arenas after pick-and-roll, Liu Mang's anti-Arenas breakthrough after pick-and-roll, as a result, Arenas saw the Hawks' defensive intentions, forcibly threw a three-pointer, and returned!
The offensive and defensive conversion, the Hawks attack, Liu Mang arrived at the frontcourt, immediately attracted the Wizards most of the defense, McGrady rushed into the inside again by Liu Mang's containment, this time Jarvis Hayes released Rashi De Wallace blocked McGrady and jammed with Jamison on the right side of the three-second zone.
Rashid Wallace made the cut and McGrady scored the ball to Rashid Wallace. Just helped Larry Hughes to block Liu Mang's Haywood and turned to block Rashid Wallace.
At this time, Liu Mang, who just ran back, cut in again. Kwame Brown helped Liu Mang to block Larry Hughes for the second time. Liu Mang cut into the basket from the left side of the basket and Rashid Wallace was caught by the sea. Wood blocked the ball and threw it to the left of the hoop. Liu Mang rushed into the post and jumped. He put the ball in the air and hit it on the rebound to bounce into the hoop!
4-3, the Hawks scored two goals in a row.
The Eagles quickly retreated, Liu Mang and Prince and Kwame Brown said a few words, adjusted their defensive strategy.
When the Wizards attacked again, Liu Mang waited for Arenas to advance. Sure enough, just after Arenas came, he found Haywood to pick and roll, but this time Kwame Brown did not come out and continued to stay in and out of the three seconds zone. Out, Prince let go of Larry Hughes, who had no mid-range shooting ability, and kept Kwame Brown at the rim to prevent Arenas from picking up offense.
Arenas took the threat of pick-and-roll and break through to throw Liu Mang away, but Prince directly guarded him!
Arenas did not dare to see Prince's long arms and long legs in his throat!
As for it? Use two single defense masters? Arenas immediately passed the ball to Larry Hughes, whose bottom line on the right didn't play any role at all.
Larry Hughes received the ball and rushed to the basket, Kwame Brown defended out of the right three seconds.
With good physical fitness, you can do whatever you want. Kwame Brown's traverse is too good, and he is prepared to switch to Larry Hughes, blocking Larry Hughes out of the three-second zone!
Larry Hughes stopped in the three-second zone, constantly changing left and right to shake Kwame Brown, but Kwame Brown just did n’t move, Kwame Brown ’s defensive talent really had nothing to say, two seasons Since then, the defense has become stronger and stronger, and he knows the outside defense of the basket. The important thing is not to move casually and not jump casually.
Larry Hughes was gone. He didn't expect Kwame Brown to move so quickly and predict so accurately. He blocked him at once, and it took him seven or eight seconds to watch his teammates.
When Jamison was surrounded by McGrady, Haywood cut in was blocked by Prince, and Larry Hughes could only pass to the running Arenas.
Arenas received the ball, Liu Mang was blocked in front of him like a shadow, Arenas took a strong step after receiving the ball, and made a sudden stop jumper shot within the three-point line!
Liu Mang ’s ability to make judgments at level 5 is excellent. When Arenas took off, Liu Mang jumped at the same time. He jumped a little bit higher than Arenas. He reached out to block, and Arenas made a big jump in the air. Look up, there's a Steve Nash-style back look ...
The ball flew over a few centimeters above Liu Mang's fingertips, and once again fell into the basket!
Go in!
Watching Arenas fall to the ground and not standing back, he took a few steps back and sat down on the ground, then climbed up and quickly retreated.
The Wizards ’coach Eddie Jordan was an assistant coach of Byron Scott. He is good at defense and the triangle offense that he may not understand. The Wizards’ defensive end is characterized by fast defense and always bringing opponents into the game. Positional warfare is another issue as to whether it can be prevented.
Looking at Arenas who made two difficult shots in a row, this is really ... bursting! Liu Mang was shocked by Arenas' singles!
In fact, this is the normal performance of Arenas when playing other teams. It is just that Liu Mang pressed Arenas too badly. Without reaching the edge of the cliff, Arenas is difficult to play normal performance in the face of Liu Mang.
And this time Arenas met Liu Mang in the playoffs ~ EbookFREE.me ~ really came to the point of the cliff edge!
The Hawks attacked. McGrady continued to use Liu Mang's threat to create opportunities for his teammates or to have the opportunity to score. In the playoffs, scoring is king. Liu Mang and McGrady don't care who scores or assists.
Moreover, even if Liu Mang is a threat point to contain the defense, Liu Mang has many scoring opportunities, more than two months of training in tactical running position and running in with the teammates on the field, Liu Mang's ability to run position compared to the first half of the regular season Even stronger. For a team like the Wizards who has a defensive enthusiasm but does not have a very good defensive system, Liu Mang only needs a few more ballless picks and rolls. After threatening from other teammates, he will have a chance to score. The Wizards The team can defend against both Heywood and Larry Hughes, the others are scum.
When the official timeout was reached in the first quarter, Liu Mang easily scored 6 points, McGrady scored 5 points and 3 assists, and the Hawks scored 16 points in 7 minutes. The offensive efficiency is very high.
However, the Wizards also scored 16 points!
Arenas exploded! Get 10 points and 2 assists in more than half a quarter!
It ’s not that Liu Mang did n’t defend well, nor was Prince ’s attack fast enough, but Arenas was too accurate! Started with 4 of 6 shots! The Hawks were all wrapped up, and Arenas scored 10 points and got two assists!
The Hawks are the main tactical team. The Wizards are Arenas singles. The fans on the scene looked very high and all cheered. The two teams played a very good offensive and defensive. Defensively against Arenas, they played well.
But after playing for seven minutes, the lively fans have been watching the enlarged score on the big screen after the official suspension, the score of the two teams was even!
It's incredible! Is this the Wizards? Or is that Arenas who is afraid of the cold and dying?
