Seeing that Francis was not angry, Liu Mang didn't care, trash talk, things that cost saliva are pleasantly surprised, and useless are useless.

Francis's biggest growth this season compared to the past has been his mentality.

The difference between the core of a bad team and the core of a strong team is the vision, and the vision determines the mentality of looking at things.

In the bad team, there is no chance to compete for the championship, whether the playoffs can be made or not is a question, how can there be any long-term vision, just thinking about the competition with a certain player, thinking about what small losses I suffered last time, how to go back next time, the other party insidiously gave me a punch, I will return the kick next time......

In the past, Francis was also a petty character, and his vision was limited to the little things.

And Liu Mang is also stingy, but the goal of his revenge is very simple, no matter whether the other party is guilty of a crime against him, or the other party wins him, or the other party guards him down, there is only one goal of his revenge, the next time he leads the team to torture the other party to death in the next game with the other party.

They are all stingy type players, their vision determines their mentality, their mentality determines their behavior, and their behavior determines the future after that.

But now Francis has been playing in a strong team for half a season, and it is a team that he has changed single-handedly, his vision has improved, and Liu Mang has accumulated grievances for many years, but he now wants to win, not to compete with Liu Mang alone, otherwise he will throw it directly in the first round as before.

At the age of 28, Francis came to a place that really suited him.

When Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, there was only one thing he thought about - Ray Allen met a point guard who was so suitable for him, and there would be a big three Kaizi? Will there still be three less thunders?

didn't care that trash talk didn't work, Liu Mang walked to the free throw line and hit it steadily.

After only two minutes of play, the Hawks led the SuperSonics by 5 points 8-3!

After Liu Mang scored, he immediately retreated, and the Eagles' positional battle defense fell well, waiting for the supersonic side to advance over.

Francis came to the three-point line, Liu Mang continued to go up to defend, not afraid that the opponent would not break through, the opponent's three-point threat was obviously greater, and Lewis's mid-range shooting was too powerful.

Francis's strongest thing is to break through, and the breakthrough opportunity in front of him, Liu Mang believes that he will not make up for the breakthrough, as long as Francis starts to break through, the rotation defense on their side can get up.

Sure enough, as Liu Mang expected, Francis once again forcibly squeezed him away by his strong body, and broke into the inside line, Liu Mang immediately chased Prince's defender, Maddie came up to Francis's defense, Prince also chased Maddie's defender, and the high-speed rotation defense continued!

When Francis burst to the free throw line, Maddie had already changed the defense in place, but Francis's rhythm was a little different this time, and when he squeezed Liu Mang away, he didn't speed up! Instead, he waited until Maddie was one step ahead of him before he started to accelerate!

Maddie just moved in front of Francis, it was still a forward momentum, Francis accelerated in the direction of Maddie rushing, played a rhythm difference, and suddenly rushed inside from Maddie!

Jerome James's other abilities are not good, the card man is very strong, and he is entangled with Kwame Brown, Francis rushes into the basket and jumps high, easily flattening the frame and dunking the tomahawk!

It's not just about passing! Francis was the most violent defender of the year!

It can be regarded as returning Liu Mang's three points just now, or returning the violent dunks of Maddie and Rashid Wallace!

Francis's tomahawk dunk in a row over two people detonated the cheers of the fans at the scene.

Kwame Brown couldn't help this ball, the opponent just went straight inside like that, and he was still blocked.

One of the shortcomings of the Hawks' high-speed rotation defense was exploited by Francis, that is, the Mavericks and Bulls couldn't defend themselves when they encountered a strong outside line.

Liu Mang, Maddie, and Prince glanced at each other, and they all understood what the other party meant, and they were going to change their defensive strategies.

After receiving Kwame Brown's serve, Liu Mang passed the ball to Maddie, who advanced.

The Hawks didn't have a strong fast break, the opponent had Francis, and it was okay to play a defensive counterattack, and it would be troublesome for Francis to make a fast break if he made a strong fast break mistake or hit an iron and was grabbed by the opponent to grab a defensive rebound.

After arriving in the frontcourt, Maddy motioned for Liu Mang to continue to cut and play with Rashid Wallace without the ball.

Liu Mang took Francis to cut inside, and Rasheed Wallace mentioned the free throw line to help Liu Mang block Francis.

At the same time, Maddie suddenly accelerated, and her long legs took the first three steps in an explosive way, leaving Antonio Daniels behind at once!

Francis and Lewis were still hesitating to prevent Liu Mang or switch defenses to prevent both of them, Liu Mang just ran from the right side of the three-second zone to the left by blocking and dismantling, and suddenly Maddie also appeared on the right side of the three-second zone!

Francis and Lewis are going to vomit blood, this is going to kill someone! Hurry towards Maddie, who has the ball.

Francis, Lewis, Antonio Daniels, and Jerome James under the basket are all focused on Maddie, and unlike the young team that saw Maddie, who was suppressed by Liu Mang last season and played for Liu Mang this season, most of the supersonic players entered the NBA in the same age as Maddie!

Maddie didn't even look at it, jumped up and completely attracted the defense, and threw the ball from the back of his head to the top arc.

Liu Mang just received the ball when he rushed to the top arc with the explosive speed of the master of blocking and dismantling, and the 180-degree turnover jumper of the top arc!

"Ding...... Trigger the Quick Shot Master Level 5, this shot ignores the impact of running and shooting with the ball, and the shooting speed is increased by 30 percent......"

Liu Mang felt very good when he turned over and made a jump shot, that feeling was like standing to catch the ball and shoot, the ball was thrown, Liu Mang knew that it would definitely go in!

Liu Mang put his hand behind his ear, his eyes just closed, and the ball just fell into the basket!

is so confident, the supersonic four people went to pinch Maddie, Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown have an excellent opportunity to impact the offensive rebound, Liu Mang is stupid not to shoot, even if he doesn't score, there is a high probability of "2+1".

The fans at the scene saw Liu Mang's pretending to be forced, and a large number of fans raised their middle fingers and booed violently.

Maddie looked at Liu Mang's pretending action, and felt that something was a little weird before, and he always felt weird, but now he understood, why does Liu Mang always shoot so confidently with such a difficult ball?

The more difficult it is, the more confident you are!

This kind of shooting percentage is not as high as when receiving the ball in the open position, but as long as it is scored, it can make a deep impression on opponents and teammates, just like Jordan and Kobe Bryant's shooting rate is not high, far lower than James, but both are regarded as the best key ball players in history, but James is criticized for loving passing the ball at critical moments, just because the key points that leave a different impression on people!

Liu Mang hit two difficult three-point shots in a row, which made the focus of the defensive end on the supersonic side begin to change.

Liu Mang scored 7 points in a row, stretching the score to 11-5, 6 points!

Offensive and defensive transitions, supersonic offense.

The Hawks switched defenses here, with Maddie going to the top arc waiting for Francis to push in, and Liu Mang going to defend Luke Rednow.

The anti-supersonic high-speed wheel conversion can't prevent Francis's breakthrough, and he doesn't dare to easily pinch the supersonic speed, the opponent's three pitchers are too accurate, and the three-point shooting rate of the supersonic team is second in the league, second only to the Suns.

Breaking through Maddie, Francis stared at Maddie with all his attention, he can't break through with just his body like Liu Mang, Maddie's physical fitness is much stronger.

In particular, Francis was both angry and jealous when he saw Maddie's squinting eyes with a contemptuous expression.

"Don't look down on me!"

Francis felt that Maddie's expression was despising him!

Francis suddenly exerted force, slapped his left hand on the ground, and accelerated violently.

Maddie really doesn't despise Francis, he is short-sighted and doesn't like to wear contact lenses, although he can see clearly when he is close without glasses, he still habitually squints.

In the face of Francis's acceleration, he quickly moved to the left rear, trying to stick to Francis into the inner line, at this time Francis seemed to have his knee made of iron, and kicked his right leg forward in the middle of the march, and the shoe made a violent friction sound against the floor, and Francis suddenly changed direction and bounced out to the left.

At this time, Lewis, who went around the baseline, happened to pass by with Rashid Wallace, Francis passed the ball to Lewis, and then went up to block Rashid Wallace.

Lewis came to the left side of the three-second zone and made a mid-range turnover jumper, and also scored!

7 to 11, supersonic clenched the score!

Despite the absence of Ray Allen, the SuperSonics are still strong! That kind of stability, it's too strong! Difficult to defend!

The opponent runs on the single defense, the high-speed wheel conversion defense Francis breaks through, and the three pitchers are accurate.

If the supersonic speed is so easy to deal with, it is impossible to fight at this time, and it is still second in the West ahead of the Spurs and Mavericks!

Because the rhythm on the field was unconsciously brought up, the scoring efficiency of both teams was super high!

On the Hawks' side, Maddie organized the offense at the beginning, and it worked very well, he began to use more of the memory of his teammates' running routes and the combination of teammates' threats and his own threats to start passing, although he still passed to his teammates and shot directly, but he did better.

On the supersonic side, it was relying on Francis's breakthrough ability, three shooters running, Jerome James pinning Kwame Brown under the basket, and a seven-foot-tall physical man standing there was a threat.

Both teams' scores continued to rise, and the official timeout failed to stop the offensive firepower of both teams, making both teams afraid to make easy substitutions to break the good combination.

In the ninth minute of the first quarter, the Hawks called a timeout.

24-21, the difference was chased by the supersonic speed to only three points, if the next offensive shot missed, the opponent scored a three-pointer, and the score would be tied!

Liu Mang played 9 minutes and scored 14 points, and Maddie scored 2 points and 5 assists in 9 minutes.

On the other side, Francis had four points and five assists, Lewis had eight points, Redno had four points, Antonio Daniels had three points and Jerome James had one deduction for a total of 21 points.

Francis really didn't get to the supersonic anymore, with a group of teammates who were very moving, and he just had to attract the ball to the defense and pass, and he played quite well.

At the timeout, the Hawks made a substitution, replacing Maddy with Jason Terry, who had to defend and break through the ball, and played 9 minutes in the first quarter just right, and continued to be in top shape after a good rest.

Liu Mang didn't go back to the bench when he paused, anyway, he knew what tactics to play by looking at how the coach made changes, and continued to practice shooting on the court to maintain his feel.

Seeing that there was no regular substitution of Mourning, but a lineup of Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Muhammad for layups, Liu Mang knew that he was about to start the wave!

On the SuperSonics side, Francis continued to play, and Ronald Murray, Danny Fortson, Lewis, and Reggie Evans came off the bench.

Liu Mang looked at Reggie Evans, the short center who came off the bench on the other side, he was so familiar, and he suddenly remembered it, a rebounding idiot!

"Ding...... Reggie Evans, Ability Rating 71, Offense 59, Defense 80, Three-Point 40, Shooting 40, Layup 70, Speed 81, Power 93, Rebounds 99...... Averaged 4 points and 9.5 rebounds per game ......"

Sure enough, it's a rebounding idiot!

A super biased man who relies purely on defensive ferocity and rebounding to reach the starting level!

This rebounding is also amazing, taller than O'Neal and Kwame Brown, comparable to Garnett and Ben Wallace!

It's just that the shot means a few things...... 40-40-70 shooting triplets......

Danny Fortson, the No. 10 pick in '98 and '97, is another rebounding maniac who once averaged 16 boards per game in a single season with the Warriors, but he only played 6 games that season, and had an accident while grabbing rebounds in a crazy Rodman-style rebound, fell to the floor and broke his kneecap, and was reimbursed for the season, and his form dropped sharply in the second season, but he also averaged 11.7 rebounds per game.

However, as the age approached 30 years old, the physical fitness began to decline significantly, and the physical fitness caused by the broken knee declined, and now it is no longer the courage of the year.

But he's still a fierce rebounding maniac.

Liu Mang didn't know who Danny Fortson was, but he saw that Fortson averaged 5.6 boards per game in 12 minutes this season, and his rebounding ability rating of 95 as a two-meter-one-meter forward, except for rebounding, he had almost no other advantages, so he knew that this was one of the supersonic rebounding fanatics.

Ronald Murray, 67 aptitude rating, a tramp who has changed four teams in his third year, averages 7 points and 3 rebounds per game.

The SuperSonics don't have a single player who has scored double-doubles in rebounds, but they can maintain a goal difference of 3 rebounds per game, which is a key point for them to play such a good record, with seven or eight players averaging more than 3 rebounds per game!

Coming back from a timeout, the Hawks possessed the ball.

Now that the opponent has been replaced by a group of idiots, Liu Mang can't let the opponent's rebounding advantage come into play, and he can't give the opponent a chance to fall into the positional battle!
