After the No. 3 played the Clippers, the No. 4 Hawks followed up with the Bulls.

The Hawks had Prince's turn to rest for this game, Maddy returned, and Mourning stepped into the starting spot against the Bulls.

Strictly speaking, except for Liu Mang, everyone else has to take turns resting.

Don't look at Liu Mang is one of the two players who have played the most minutes on the Hawks, and the only two players who have averaged 35 minutes per game, the other being Kwame Brown.

Liu Mang averaged 37.3 minutes per game and Kwame Brown averaged 35.2 minutes per game.

The two Eagles have the best physical ability and the most playing time, but there are a few differences.

Liu Mang played more minutes than Kwame Brown, but he played almost the easiest game on the Hawks.

Now the Eagles' entire offense is in the service of Liu Mang's scoring.

The pass came from Maddy, Jason Terry had to pass for Liu Mang, and Calderon and Iguodala were all the same.

The single defense is in charge of Maddie and Prince, Liu Mang is responsible for the two of them, except for those who are so fast that Maddie and Prince can't defend them, and Iguodala on the bench is also responsible for helping Liu Mang.

In addition to scoring and grabbing rebounds, Liu Mang occasionally passes the ball, which is almost the easiest job for the Hawks.

Of course, this is the treatment of the team boss, and it is also the most comfortable point that a player like Liu Mang can play.

Liu Mang's type of player is too good to match with his teammates, as long as he strengthens the aspects that Liu Mang is not so proficient in.

On the contrary, Cleveland has begun to score points, assists, and steals, the team is second in rebounding, and the team is third in blocks, and is getting farther and farther away from the first place in the pentathlon team......

When a player is ranked first in the team in all abilities, the team doesn't know how to strengthen it.

And Liu Mang, Jordan, Kobe Bryant, often a star can easily fit in with his style of play.

Liu Mang's style of play is also relatively easy to prolong his career, and the all-round style of play, except for James's physical talent, most of the others have ushered in major injuries early.

Although Kwame Brown is in good physical condition, he is also in the ranks of the rotation, and the faster the rhythm, the easier it is to get tired, and the more tired he is, the more likely he is to get injured.

Although Liu Mang can help them heal those small injuries and not accumulate into major injuries, their physical consumption is very large.

Except for Liu Mang, the others of the Eagles, even Korver and Calderon go up, have to play with their lives to defend, and play with their lives in the counterattack to get a chance to score for themselves, otherwise they won't get playing time.

Of course, this kind of system is also a happy one, because Maddie will get the ball to them as soon as they get out of position.

In turn, the running position of other teammates also made it easier for Liu Mang to get shooting opportunities.

……

Get you back!

Bloody revenge!

The game in which the Hawks played the Bulls was a bloody feast of revenge!

In the Bulls game, the Hawks sent a combination of Liu Mang, Korver, Maddy, Rashid Wallace, and Mourning.

The Bulls are still the same old as Hind, Hinrich, Nocioni, Roel Deng, Antonio Davis,

After Liu Mang finished sprinkling magnesium powder on the court, he saw Eddie Curry staring at Kwame Brown in a suit on the sidelines, and knew the meaning in this guy's eyes.

Jealousy, crazy jealousy!

Kwame Brown became the only two All-Star starters in the class of 2001, and Eddie Curry, who considered himself better than Kwame Brown, was madly jealous.

Liu Mang's side is no longer regarded as the same class of players, in terms of talent, there are only two players in the class of 01 who have the talent to become Liu Mang's opponents, one is Kwame Brown, who may have been good at the beginning if he hadn't met Jordan, but he has already met Jordan, and now he has become Liu Mang's little brother; The other is the center Eddie Curry in the Hawks' opponent today, Eddie Curry does have the talent and strength to become a dominant center, and the basket shooting rate has reached 69% this season, and the more he plays, the better he gets, and the shooting percentage is higher than O'Neal's.

But Eddie Curry has no motivation to play at all except for scoring and cheating big contracts, such a good body, grabbing rebounds is not as good as a guard, Liu Mang averages 7.2 rebounds per game, which is two full seconds higher than Eddie Curry's average of 5.2 rebounds per game!

Eddie Curry doesn't want to compare with Liu Mang, he just wants to get a big contract and scare Kwame Brown, no one in the 01 class has the idea of comparing with Liu Mang, even the strongest Arenas except for Liu Mang, can't afford to have a competitive mentality against Liu Mang.

However, Eddie Curry is still very motivated to keep stepping on Kwame Brown, and in high school, the three major high school center in the class of 01 have a grudge against each other.

Although Kwame Brown didn't play today, Eddie Curry is still very aggressive and wants people to see that he is stronger than the All-Star starter!

Eddie Curry and Rashid Wallace came to the center circle to jump the ball.

Rasheed Wallace probably hasn't jumped for too long, and being a year older is probably one of the reasons, Eddie Curry, a 134-kilogram fat man second only to Yao Ming and O'Neal, jumped high and fast to win the jump ball from Rashid Wallace's head.

Liu Mang immediately came to the route of Xinliqi's advance and waited for defense.

Hell, every time I see Eddie Curry's body shape, which is more serious than O'Neal's two years ago, and he can still move so flexibly and quickly, I feel like hell.

wasting talent, Liu Mang saw that little Lori and Eddie Curry fell at the same time, and Little Lori didn't help Eddie Curry.

Xin Liqi advanced to the top arc, and when he saw Liu Mang coming up, he was under a lot of pressure.

In the first two fights, even if he won the first time, he failed to bargain on Liu Mang.

Seeing Eddie Curry leaning on Mourning on the inside, he immediately hoisted the ball to Eddie Curry, and then moved to the top arc farthest from the basket to block the tall pitcher Nocioni.

Liu Mang followed Hinrich to the top arc, quickly changed the defense with Korver, and the two closely followed the defender after the switch.

Maddy, for his part, is also trying his best to entangle with Rohr Deng and not give Roel Deng a chance to run out of the open spot.

Eddie Curry didn't think about passing the ball after receiving the ball, and the Bulls' outside run was just to contain the Hawks' outside line and prevent the Hawks from going in to trap Eddie Curry.

Eddie Curry slammed into Mourning, Mourning unloaded a little strength, took a small step back half a step, Eddie Curry hit the air, almost fell, Mourning slammed it up and wanted to steal.

However, Eddie Curry's low-post technique is really good, stabilizing his body, carrying Mourning sideways, and quickly half-turning.

Mourning squeezed up ferociously and didn't give Eddie Curry a chance to shoot from the front of the basket, but Eddie Curry showed fantastic footwork, and immediately turned to the left again, completely shaking Mourning away and throwing sideways......

"Smack......

Rasheed Wallace pounced on a big hat and fanned the ball thrown by Eddie Curry!

The ball flies out of bounds!

Rashid Wallace and Mourning laughed and high-fived.

Wordless tacit understanding, no discussion, the two completed the defensive cooperation!

Mourning's one-on-one defense is still better than Kwame Brown when he is fit, allowing Eddie Curry to concentrate on entering a single state, and even the mid-range shot of Antonio Davis, his main passing target when he encounters the bag, must go all out to break down Mourning's defense, and if he doesn't care about Antonio Davis, he naturally doesn't notice Rashid Wallace's supplemental defense.

Rasheed Wallace took advantage of Mourning to carry Eddie Curry and came up and gave a big hat!

Partnered with Mourning, Rashid Wallace has the feeling of partnering with Ratliff, someone is carrying, he is blocking, Eddie Curry is several.

The two started together for the first time, and there was a sense of natural tacit understanding, but unfortunately Mo Ning could only last more than ten minutes in a game, and both of them were veterans over 30 years old......

It's still the Bulls' possession, but there are only 9 seconds left in the time, and there is no time to give them the absolute strong point that is Eddie Curry's singles, Xinrich faced Liu Mang and started to play singles, Liu Mang defended very strictly, and kept giving Xinrich physical contact, Xinrich couldn't break through even if Liu Mang defended, the physical fitness of this white point guard was too average, his template was Stockton, and he knew how physical fitness was.

Hinrich could only take a step back and take a strong shot from the three-point line......

Iron!

Mourning is the first time in his career that he is facing Eddie Curry, he feels that with his current physical state, he has to fight hard to grab rebounds with Eddie Curry, but hell, he desperately squeezed Eddie Curry, and Eddie Curry directly got out of the way!

Mourning unexpectedly easily accepted the defensive rebound, and Eddie Curry watched Mourning grab the rebound like that, completely unmotivated in terms of rebounding.

The Bulls retreated quickly, Eddie Curry has stepped back well this year, and the Hawks have fallen into positional battles.

Liu Mang received a pass from Mo Ning and threw it to Maddie, and ran towards the front court.

What posture do you need to use to score points? Liu Mang thinks it's better to throw three points, throwing in is three points, and the team still has a rebounding advantage if you can't throw it, the Bulls average the number of rebounds per game is a net negative score, they have 42 in a game, and the opponent has 45 in a game.

After Liu Mang arrived in the front court, he immediately cut from the middle to the inside, Maddie first looked for Mourning to come out to block and dismantle, and on the other side, after Liu Mang entered the basket, he found Rashid Wallace to block and dismantle without the ball, and accelerated violently when Rasheed Wallace blocked and dismantled from the left side of the three-second zone!

"Ding...... Trigger at level 5 of the Demolition Master, and the host's speed is +8...... for two seconds"

Liu Mang's already fast speed broke out again, and he quickly rushed to a 45-degree angle on the left.

But to Liu Mang's surprise, the ball didn't come!

Turning his head, Roel Deng, who defended Maddie, blocked the passing route between himself and Maddie, that is, he did not prevent Maddie and Mourning's blocking, but blocked his catch!

At this time, Liu Mang wanted to cut to the inside again, and Xin Liqi, who was chasing him, had already caught up, and Liu Mang was blocked at a 45-degree angle by Xin Li Qi and Luo Er Deng without the ball!

Maddie was stunned! Mourning didn't get a block, so he immediately cut inside, and Antonio Davis followed in front of Maddie.

Maddie looked at Antonio Davis in front of him, and forgot to shoot the direct open three-point opportunity before Antonio Davis defended the front, and saw Mourning cut in, and Rashid Wallace and Mourning hit Eddie Curry on the inside, and Maddy immediately hoisted the ball to Rashid Wallace.

Rashid Wallace drew Eddie Curry to the guard and passed to Mourning, who just ran in, and Mourning received the ball and dunked easily for two points.

What do these mean?

Liu Mang didn't understand, but it was good if the team scored.

It's time for the Bulls to attack again, and Eddie Curry began to be afraid of Rashid Wallace's help defense, but because of this, Eddie Curry didn't dare to focus on singles, and the ferocity on the offensive end was reduced a lot, so he chose to step back and shoot!

A 134-kilogram big center dribbles back and steps back to make a jumper, and Mo Ning is so angry! rushed up with all his might to interfere, but Eddie Curry's hand was really good, and he hit a step-back jumper when he had enough energy in the opening game.

It's not like a center forward at all!

Mourning has been with the Hawks for almost a month, and has played O'Neal, Yao Ming, and Eddie Curry, how can he feel like he is competing with the four centers?

The main thing is that you can't beat one!

The years make people old......

Fortunately, Mo Ning also deducted one, which can be regarded as evenly matched!

Mo Ning comforted himself and ran towards the front.

After watching Eddie Curry's coquettish performance when he had physical strength, Liu Mang was also a little numb, went in and picked up the ball and gave it to Maddie, and then asked for the ball directly after half time.

Maddie passed the ball to Liu Mang and cut inside, creating a one-on-one singles opportunity for Liu Mang.

But...... As soon as Liu Mang received the ball, he saw Sinrich and Luol Deng coming over.

"Hey, brother, there's a scoring champion over there, go him!"

Liu Mang really wanted to shout this sentence!

Seeing Maddie cut in, Antonio Davis took a step forward and prepared to block Maddy, basket three to two, good opportunity! Liu Mang made a strong shot before the two people in the bag were in place!

Xin Liqi pounced on Liu Mang's arm and hit Liu Mang!

Liu Mangqiu just raised it on his head, he didn't expect the other party to have such a rough movement, he was knocked back a few steps, sat on the ground and slid a long distance, and when he stopped, he was on the circle in the middle circle!

What does this mean?

Seeing that after the referee blew the whistle, Xin Li raised his hand calmly, like the teacher on the sidelines, Liu Mang took the hand of Korver, who ran out, and got up.

The fans at the scene saw that the referee did not give a malicious foul at the first time, and immediately booed.

Liu Mang saw that the Bulls were targeting him!

Why is the Hinrich template Stockton? It's not that his style of play is like, Hinrich's blocking is not particularly good, but his shooting consistency and passing accuracy...... And the defensive end is not clean at all!

Targeted again!

Fortunately, he got three free throws, Liu Mang's characteristic "cold-blooded" suppressed the anger in his heart, and the game just started.

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, Xin Liqi's defensive action was dirty, and he kept his hand when he hit, and did not push Liu Mang, so Liu Mang did not lose his center of gravity but landed smoothly, but he did not mean to deliberately hurt Liu Mang, but when he hit Liu Mang's arm, it really hurt!

is simply to hurt Liu Mang and provoke Liu Mang.

Liu Mang held back his anger, his teammates also held back their dissatisfaction, Maddie went to protest with the referee that this time it should be a malicious foul, the referee appeased Maddie, and did not give a malicious foul, but went to the technical desk to confirm that Liu Mang's feet were outside the three-point line when he jumped, determined three free throws, and then warned Xinrich.

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, the first free throw was iron, and after adjusting it, the last two free throws were hit.

The Bulls' ferocious foul action at the beginning made the defensive action on the Hawks' side bigger

After Hinrich held the ball to the front court, he encountered Liu Mang's more ferocious top defense, and his movements could be described as rough.

also because Liu Mang suffered a loss before, and the referee wanted to make up for it, so he didn't blow Liu Mang's foul.

Hinrich quickly passed the ball to Eddie Curry, and Mourning's defensive action also increased, he was more experienced, and knew that the defensive intensity of one position increased and the referee did not give the whistle, and normally, the whistle would become loose throughout the game.

Mo Ning was originally a violent temper, and the young man of the team was bullied, so he bullied it back!

Eddie Curry was pressed to the waist by Mourning's fist and felt his waist hurt!

"This old immortal is because he has a bad kidney, and he wants to make my kidney bad?"

Eddie Curry quickly turned around and stepped back, saw Mourning's murderous expression pounce on him, and quickly threw the ball.

Eddie Curry's hasty mid-range shot misses!

Rashid Wallace jammed Antonio Davis, and Liu, who was now in a fit of rage, put his anger on the positivity and rushed in to collect the defensive rebound.

Advance on your own!

Liu Mang stopped giving Maddie the ball and advanced to the front court by himself......

Then, Liu Mang's anger and excitement turned to sadness......

The other party is determined to him!

Seeing that Maddie, who ran to a 45-degree angle, was unguarded, and the two guys with glowing eyes on his side pounced, Liu Mang didn't want to see Maddie anymore, threw the ball to Maddie, and then looked at the ceiling speechlessly.

Maddie received the ball, Nocioni let go of Korver, who was running on the right sideline, to make up for Maddie, Maddie threw the ball to Korver, and Korver received the ball and hit a three-point shot!

5-2, the Hawks relied on Korver's three-point shot and began to take the initiative!

……

The first time the Bulls played against the Hawks, they relied on the high-speed rotation defense that the Hawks were not familiar with, and beat the Hawks in an upset.

But as the Hawks learned the Bulls' high-speed rotation defense, and learned from the Mavericks the most authentic timing of the change of defense, those who couldn't deal with the defense became the Bulls!

The Bulls couldn't take advantage of Eddie Curry's fury when he met the Hawks, and Mourning and Rasheed Wallace's interior defense worked more closely together, and after Eddie Curry received the ball, he did a better job of cutting off Eddie Curry's passing lane when the two were in the middle.

On the outside, Korver's change of defense is more conscious than Prince's, Prince's single defense is better, and the help defense is a little worse, Korver is the best on the outside of the Hawks in the rotation position, better than Liu Mang and Iguodala, but the single defense is particularly poor.

Especially now that the confrontation between the two teams has risen, the defensive moves have become rough, and it is too difficult for the Bulls to play tactics, and it is completely a playoff-level confrontation.

And the biggest feature of the playoffs is that the proportion of singles points is much higher than that of the regular season!

Although Eddie Curry is excellent in singles, his fitness is a problem, and he can still rely on low-post singles to compete with the Hawks at the beginning, even if Mourning's defensive moves become rough, and Eddie Curry, who is mentally prepared, also scored 9 points in the first quarter.

But after Eddie Curry got tired, the Bulls were left with Jordan Ben Gordon on their bench.

And the defense on the Bulls' side is almost equivalent to "giving up"!

The Eagles scored too easily, mainly because Liu Mang was caught in the game!

Maddie and Jason Terry, who came off the bench, were always the first to catch the ball.

And the Bulls played hard enough! Don't give Liu Mang a chance to directly send assists, don't use the defenders of Korver and Calderon, who are in rotation to pinch Liu Mang, but use the defenders who defend Jason Terry or Maddie to pinch Liu Mang, let Liu Mang pass the ball to these two who can pass, and then vacate a third person to make up for these two, just don't give Liu Mang any data!

The hatred of 58 is not shared!

The Bulls players deeply remember that Liu Mang yelled "58 points is enough" when he was leading by 58 points, so they decided that it was Liu Mang's conspiracy to be slaughtered by 58 points last time!

And the media also claimed that Liu Mang "suppressed" them in that game, which made them not care about winning or not winning, and they couldn't win anyway, and the other party was "serious" and they all lost 58 points

The point is, if they have the strength to beat them by 58 points, why give them hope in the first meeting?

If Liu Mang knew what the Bulls were thinking, he wouldn't know how aggrieved he was: Your upset was because you had that strength! We're just stealing your defensive strategy...... If he could break the largest point difference in history of 70 points, who would want 58......

The Bulls put Liu Mang alive and scored 19 points in 3 of 7, 16 free throws, 12 of 16 free throws, and didn't give him a chance to play well at all, the catch and jump shot could be slapped on the floor by the opponent, and the running position without the ball was trapped, and the ball alone had to face the Bulls' fierce fouls, and the Bulls didn't press all over the court, for fear that Liu Mang would take advantage of the pressure to counterattack and score quickly, in short, he didn't let Liu Mang score!

For the sake of his life, Liu Mang could only dribble after half the court to attract the bag to pass the ball to his teammates and let his teammates shoot.

The Hawks teammates were on the pitch, with Korver scoring 12 points, Jason Terry 13 points and three assists, Calderon 14 and Iguodala 11......

Maddie hit the fourth quarter and scored 40 points on 14-of-21 shooting! 40 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists!

123-83, the Hawks slaughtered the Bulls by 40 points!

Liu Mang played for 39 minutes, but he just couldn't go down! I got 19 points, 16 rebounds and 6 assists, and I desperately wanted to get a triple-double, but the conditions didn't allow it.

Although Liu Mang got the 2000 superstar value of winning the opponent's second time in a row as a thank you gift to the Bulls, his malice towards the Bulls has become deeper, and he will continue to abuse him next time!

It's a big deal that you can't score, it's abuse!
