superior!

At this time, Kwame Brown was covering the back of Rasheed Wallace. Davon Brown and Aaron Williams, both of whom had no shooting ability, were preparing to grab offensive rebounds. The key was that Carter had no space to pass out.

, he could only force the shot... but Prince directly grabbed it in his hand and took it away...

Seeing Prince's calm face, such good defense, and even giving him a shot, but he didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations, Carter always had a question, which planet is this guy an alien from?

In order to avoid a counterattack, Carter immediately hugged Prince and committed a tactical foul.

Since there were very few fouls today and there were no free throws yet, Carter's approach was correct because the Eagles' lineup is very capable of running.

Liu Mang had already reached the midline. Prince's passing awareness was still a bit lacking, but he could defend it. Liu Mang was not in a hurry and ran back to wait for the sideline pass.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, took position, controlled the rhythm, and then started singles!

Kidd saw Liu Mang advancing, and he was guessing how the Hawks would attack and what tactics they would use. Seeing Liu Mang keep dribbling, he thought the opponent was running some tactics, and he subconsciously reached out for fear of being picked and rolled.

Touching the back, the scene was extremely obscene. Occasionally, I turned my head and glanced at the left and right rear.

Just when Kidd subconsciously turned his head again, Liu Mang seized this opportunity, got close to the three-point line, grabbed the ball, bent his knees, raised the ball above his head, and took off!

Kidd didn't expect that Liu Mang would come over and play singles! And he would just throw a three-pointer!

Kidd turned around for half a second, which was like a blink of an eye, and saw that Liu Mang had already made a shooting motion and the ball had already been thrown out. He quickly jumped up and rushed towards him.

However, just after Kidd jumped up, he saw that although Liu Mang made the action of bending his knees and straightening, he did not jump up. The most important thing is that it seemed that the ball he threw was still in his hand!

Kidd knew that he had fallen into a trap, so he tried his best to hide his body in the air and not touch Liu Mang.

However, how could Liu Mang give up the opportunity to have close contact with Kidd and take the initiative to bump into him...

"ah……"

Liu Mang let out a shrill scream that made the referee even look away and blew the whistle with his eyes closed.

Kidd fouled Liu Mang's three-point shooting!

Liu Mang made three free throws.

As long as you can score, and the current lineup needs Liu Mang's singles, the Eagles' lineup is indeed super capable on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, the only ones who can play are Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace, and Rasheed

-Wallace spends more energy on the defensive end. On the offensive end, we can only rely on him to open up space. Post players who can shoot generally maintain their shooting standards very well because they are used to hand-to-hand combat. Those who cannot shoot are basically

They didn't have a chance to develop shooting possibilities, because they proved that after high confrontation, even free throws are difficult to make.

The Nets cannot be allowed to continue to play offense. It doesn't matter if they sacrifice their own offense, as long as they defend the opponent.

Of course, on the offensive end, Liu Mang also has to find a way to use the three-point threat to cause fouls and breakthroughs, which is his strongest offensive weapon.

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, took a deep breath...the first free throw...fortunately, he made the next two free throws.

22 to 16, the Eagles widened the point difference to 6 points, the largest today!

But then the Hawks' offense didn't go so smoothly. Kidd's defense was really good, which put a lot of pressure on Liu Mang on the offensive end. Since this lineup had no contact points, Liu Mang didn't play pick-and-roll.

It wastes the energy of teammates in vain, so I keep playing singles, and my scoring efficiency begins to decline.

However, the Nets' offense went straight to a cliff and stalled!

After Kidd discovered Liu Mang's plot, he tried to quickly pass the ball to Carter to attract threats on the right side of the basket, but Prince stayed close to Carter the whole time. As soon as the Eagles' offense ended, Prince moved towards Carter.

, and the Hawks' lineup is extremely fast to return to defense. Davin Brown and Aaron Williams of the Nets are not as fast as Kwame Brown, who is a few centimeters taller than them. They are only as fast as Rasheed Hua.

Almost as good as Laish.

Kidd tried to change the strong and weak sides of this style of play, but found that Carter's breakthrough on the left side of the basket was very ordinary. Just like the first ball, Prince directly pressed his right hand and could only break through with his left hand.

, it’s not that Carter can’t break through with his left hand, but he’s still far from being able to break through with his right hand. He’s been sent into the trap repeatedly and doesn’t even have a corner to pass the ball!

The Nets played quite a bit like the Princeton system today, and they showed off a little bit, but Liu Mang saw through it!

They were all teams that used Princeton. Liu Mang didn't react at first. After all, he was not a professional tactician. But after using it so many times, he always had an impression. After half a quarter of the game, Liu Mang reacted.

Then, Liu Mang began to command his teammates and beat the Nets to death with defense!

The Nets' Princeton-like style of moving the ball and passing the ball quickly was discovered by Liu Mang.

Kidd could only sigh secretly that the opponent's head coach was indeed the best coach. He thought that he would be seen through and targeted, but he didn't expect that the opponent would find a way to deal with it after just an official timeout.

Coach Kruger suddenly felt a very familiar feeling on the sidelines. It seemed that someone was saying that he was handsome again... Why again?

There is no other choice but to return to the two-wings flying style of play, but the Hawks have already had a response strategy to the two-wings flying style of play, and they are more familiar with the Nets' style of play.

But Kidd has no choice. They can't beat the Hawks in isolation. The Nets have no inside line. When encountering a team with such strong internal and external defense as the Hawks, Carter is locked up and can only play pass-and-cut offense, which is not efficient.

, but at least he can score.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Nets' Princeton-like style of play is still too immature after all, and there is no really good organization with shooting insiders, otherwise it will definitely be more powerful.

For the Eagles, their own offense doesn't matter. Even if they only scored 8 points in the last 4 and 5 minutes, the Nets only scored 5 points!

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Nets by 7 points, 28-21!

Having found a way to deal with the Nets, the Hawks continued to play defense in the second quarter to avoid being resurrected by the Nets and starting a new offensive routine experiment.

Kidd wanted to try more offensive methods, but was blocked by Liu Mang. Liu Mang, no matter how many things he did, just blocked the Nets' offense. The players that Coach Kruger replaced were all defensive-minded.

The players, in the first half, just defended.

Of course, this also caused the Eagles' offense to decline and decline again. The Nets' offense did not pick up, and the defensive end also became more angry. Moreover, the Nets' defense today really worked hard and went all out.

The two teams were fighting each other, as if they were back last year, and they were engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

It's just that the Eagles have the advantage on the defensive end!

Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown had a huge rebounding advantage inside. Although they didn't grab a few offensive rebounds despite the intense confrontation, there was one every one, and they guarded the defensive rebounds well.

In the second quarter, although the Eagles only scored 23 points, the Nets only scored 19 points!

At the end of halftime, the Eagles were 51 to 40. After a quarter and a half of hand-to-hand fighting, the Eagles finally opened the point difference to 11 points!

The game was surprisingly good to watch!

Fans, even Hawks fans, found the previous Eastern Conference finals a bit boring. The Nets did not put up any resistance at all, and the Hawks crushed them throughout.

But today, the Nets became tougher, as if they were seeing the iron-blooded Nets team of last season again.

Watching the bloody defensive battle, the fans couldn't stop cheering from the middle of the first quarter! This is the Eastern Conference finals it should be!

However, the Nets are still fierce, but the Eagles are no longer the young eagles they were back then. This year's Eagles finally spread their wings and began to soar in the sky!

In the fierce defensive battle, the Eagles were able to gradually widen the point difference to 11 points!
Chapter completed!
