Liu Mang burst to the inside, and Jason Terry on the outside took advantage of Iguodala to block and run out of the open space, Liu Mang attracted the bag of Bowen who defended Iguodala, and distributed the ball to Jason Terry, who dribbled to the middle range to avoid Parker's supplementary defense and scored two points.

Back to Ginobili passed the ball to Bunch Wells, and the big stick carried Josh Smith to squeeze Josh Smith away, cut to the basket, and scored two points with Duncan blocking Mourning's throw.

The margin remained at 5 points, and the Spurs held on to a 3-6 point advantage.

The Spurs fielded lineups in the second quarter were Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Bunch Wells, and Duncan.

The lineup sent by the Hawks is Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, Mourning.

Originally, the Eagles wanted to play one big and four small, and relied on the impact of Liu Mang and Jason Terry to overtake the score in the second quarter.

Unexpectedly, Popovich's side actually put Bunch Wells in the position of power forward!

This is the first time this season that the Spurs have put Bunch Wells at power forward, and the Hawks coaching staff has studied all of the Spurs' games against strong teams this season, and there has been no such substitution.

Previously, Bunch Wells played small forward with the Trail Blazers and at shooting guard with the Grizzlies.

Putting a 1.96-meter-tall player in the power forward position, Popovich faced the most prodigal head coach in the rivers and lakes and played a wave of waves.

And it worked wonders!

Punch Wells hit Josh Smith one by one, and the rebounds flew up.

The Hawks sent such a lineup to try to play fast and try to speed up the fast attack, but the Spurs can keep up with the defense after changing to this lineup!

The main reason is that the Spurs took the lead in the first quarter, the Hawks are very passive, the new players of the Spurs have been playing for half a season, Popovich will not allow the unstable factors to remain for so long, like the big dog two years ago was still arrogant, and directly made him DNP, very decisive, so the Spurs' lineup has been run in quite well.

In addition, the Spurs have a stable style of play, with three cores, one person can be the tactical core for 16 minutes, and the other two will not be dissatisfied because they don't have the ball, and whoever is in good shape will have more possession.

This is the scariest point of the Spurs, the selflessness on the court!

Ginobili was in good shape today, so Ginobili held the ball a lot, and he didn't spare the ball, and he gave it to the role player when he was playing well.

When the Hawks attacked, the Spurs quickly returned to the defense, and tried to defend as much as they could, and Duncan was a blue-collar player for Bunch Wells, wiping Bunch Wells' defensive holes on the inside, and he was stunned to cover the threat of Josh Smith and Mourning's basket alone.

On the offensive end, the Spurs demand a steady, no matter how the Hawks speed up on the offensive end, when it comes to their offense, they will be sure to play a steady success rate.

Originally, this style of play was not a good strategy for the Spurs when he met the Hawks, but Popovich didn't expect Ginobili to go on a rampage so early today, although Ginobili had average stats this season, he often went berserk, and every time he went out, it was an MVP-level performance, but it didn't last long, and there was a significant gap with the real superstar, he was like a super nerve knife, the big brother in the nerve knife.

But the opening set laid some advantages, so Popovich, who adhered to the belief that winning one point is enough, changed the lineup to ensure the rhythm.

However, there is a very interesting thing about the Spurs' encounter with the Hawks this time, that is, Bowen is only responsible for the bottom corner three-point on the offensive end, and the defense does not defend against the Hawks' two major scorers, but does the work of supplementing the defense and assisting the defense on the inside.

Liu Mang is also well-known as "evil" in the NBA, whoever wants to yin him and who wants to commit evil crimes against him, the ones who suffer are those who are black-handed.

Although Bowen can still play now, he also plays a "deterrent" role on the court, of course, his defensive awareness and enthusiasm make him do a good job in helping to defend and cover the defense.

Seeing Wells score the ball again, Liu Mang took a deep breath and called a timeout.

It's so stable!

Mourning and Kwame Brown are good at dealing with O'Neal, and there is really no way to deal with Duncan, this guy is too stable.

Just as Duncan adjusts his style of play every year to maintain the stability of his strength with the change of his ability, the Spurs have a star like Duncan, and Popovich has a guarantee in his heart, so he can strengthen around the troika according to the existing team situation and play a stable performance as always.

With 3:17 left in the second quarter, 46-51, the Hawks trailed by five points.

……

The Hawks began to make roster changes, with Coach Krueger replacing Rasheed Wallace for Mourning, and Kwame Brown not coming on either.

So far in Mourning's career, he has never bargained against Duncan, and Duncan in his rookie season met Mourning by pressing.

In the late 90s, both of them were superstars, but there is still a big difference between superstars and superstars, some people get 100 points, it is he who has that ability, some people get 100 points, and only 100 points in the test paper......

Duncan is almost unshakable as the all-time number one forward after playing in the first six years, and the gap between Mourning and Duncan is huge.

Kwame Brown was also deflated when he met Duncan, Duncan is too powerful, the 37-year-old can beat Howard not to want it, play Kwame Brown with similar offensive means, Duncan completely suppressed Kwame Brown.

Coach Kruger discussed with Liu Mang and Mike Woodson to use Rashid Wallace to play center, and Josh Smith to stay on the court.

On the outside, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Maddy, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace played together.

The Spurs brought on Udry, Ginobili, Barry, Bunch-Wells, Duncan.

With the addition of Ginobili and Duncan and Bunch Wells with the addition of the battered Bunch Wells, the Spurs maintain strong offensive dynamism and defensive mobility.

The timeout came back and the Eagles attacked.

Liu Mang received Maddy's serve and advanced to the frontcourt, Jason Terry and Maddy alternated singles for more than a quarter and a half before, and the defensive fitness that was so active in the face of the Spurs also began to decline, and now they are mainly helping Liu Mang take away the defense, and the two are the biggest threat to the Hawks except Liu Mang.

Liu Mang played 21 minutes and scored 18 points, and this time he was in charge of the offense.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he observed the defense of the Spurs, and couldn't help but sigh that a team has too much influence on a player's defense, just like Jason Terry became more and more active in defense after Liu Mang entered the Hawks.

That's the case with the Spurs, Barry is okay, he can't defend alone but he's similar to Korver, he's highly motivated and has excellent defensive skills, but Bunch Wells came to the Spurs, and although his defensive ability is not good, he is very active in switching defenses, and Udri doesn't play like a rookie at all, and he is still directing outside defensive runs.

It's called team culture, and the Eagles have been building that culture so that new players can be influenced right away.

Liu Mang's strong mid-range feel is average today, there is Duncan under the basket, and the shooting rate is okay if he shoots three points from the outside, but the chance of not being interfered with is still very large, Ginobili's height is there, and the inside line has no advantage in rebounding when Kwame Brown is not there.

Liu Mang chose to block and beckoned Josh Smith to come out and block Ginobili.

Just when Liu Mang caught Josh Smith's block and was about to kill inside, Bunch Wells appeared in front of Liu Mang.

Josh Smith saw the opponent's change of guard and immediately cut inside and took Ginobili with him.

Liu Mang faced Bunch-Wells, and had a question in his head that he had to ask: "Hey, you are so good, there must be at least 10 million salary, right?" I'm holding more than 12 million this year. ”

"Ten million?" The big stick's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Liu Mang saw Punch Wells lose his mind, saw Punch Wells' body leaning slightly to the left front to prevent his right side from breaking through, Liu Mang kicked his right foot, rushed from the left side, and rushed into the middle from the right side of Punch Wells!

Rasheed Wallace saw Liu Mang break through, and immediately pulled out the outside, wanting to take Duncan away, but the Spurs' defense was very organized, Duncan stuck to the basket, Bunch Wells came back to his senses and made up for Rasheed Wallace, blocking Rasheed Wallace from catching the ball and shooting, Ginobili saw Duncan go to block Josh Smith, and immediately turned back to defend Liu Mang.

Near-perfect defensive rotation! and made Mike Woodson of the Hawks bench see drawing on the board with a pen.

Liu Mang passed to Josh Smith and couldn't pass it, so he could only accelerate to the inside line and enter the basket, Ginobili and Duncan pinched up together, the outside line had no chance to pass, and the inside line couldn't get in, and it was not easy to meet two people in the footsteps, Liu Mang was ruthless, and plunged into Duncan's arms, leaning on his left shoulder and waiting, grabbing the ball with his right hand, facing the basket sideways, and jumping with one foot with all his left foot as much as possible......

"Ding...... The Golden Rooster is triggered by level 4 independently, and the host's one-foot jump reduces the confrontation interference, and the one-foot bounce height increases by 20......"

Liu Mang didn't expect that the effect of the golden rooster being independently added to himself by the system data could be used at this time!

The feeling of this jump was so good, just like the feeling when Kwame Brown didn't dare to give too much physical contact during training, Liu Mang picked the ball out from the bottom to the top with his right hand and threw it to the basket.

Little Sky Hook!

Liu Mang learned an inside trick from the Magic's star card in the summer!

Just when Liu Mang threw the ball out and felt very good, and the ball hit the basket and fell into the basket, a crisp slap sounded......

The fans at the scene were booing Liu Mang, and when they saw this scene, a group of people seemed to be stuffed into their mouths with guns, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

Liu Mang looked at Duncan, who was expressionless and seemed to be in no pain at all, with a nosebleed spurting out of his nose, as well as the blood stains on the palm of Ginobili's left hand......

The master of catching bats is just as powerful as slapping his face!

……

Just now, Duncan and Ginobili were ready to cooperate defensively, Duncan didn't dare to get started, so he used his body to carry Liu Mang and let the super physical Ginobili go to block, Ginobili also jumped up, but the hand that slapped out slapped Duncan's face from top to bottom, right on the bridge of his nose!

At this moment, Liu Mang looked at Duncan who was obviously bleeding from his nose, but there was no expression on his face, as if he was not beaten.

Is this still human?

Stone monster bar!

The referee's whistle blew, not a foul or a timeout, but a new league rule since Magic-Johnson's illness, in the case of an open wound, vomiting blood, nosebleeds, you need to stop the ball to heal and clear the blood.

The team doctors came up and took Duncan to the side to stop the bleeding, and the bridge of the nose was not broken, but the capillaries were broken, which was quickly stopped.

On Ginobili's side, after wiping the blood off his hands and disinfecting it with a cloth moistened with alcohol, he was ready to continue playing.

Duncan still had to change his jersey, and Ginobili went back to the technical desk to apply magnesium powder.

Liu Mang quietly ran to Ginobili and asked, "Manu, you've been upset with that poker face for a long time, right?" Beat him, beat him to death! ”

Ginobili glanced at Liu Mang resentfully, and at this time he was joking!

When he hit Duncan in the face and saw Duncan's nosebleed, Ginobili was about to cry, and finally got a place in the NBA! finally got a 3-year 20 million contract before the first year of execution, and beat the boss!

"It's a cool feeling to hit Duncan, right?" Liu Mang continued to swish.

Don't say it, although Ginobili is dissatisfied with Liu Mang's cool words at this time, it feels really cool!

Glancing at Liu Mang, Ginobili turned around coolly after smearing the magnesium powder and prepared to attack, Duncan's side was ready.

Liu Mang found that it was useless to say anything to the Spurs players, and at the beginning of the game, Liu Mang thought about using Rashid Wallace to provoke Duncan, swapping out the opponent's most powerful player, but it was useless, and now he was psychologically attacking Ginobili, which was useless.

The Spurs don't get into the ...... But it's not all, Liu Mang looked at Parker, who was replaced by Popovich and sat on the bench, I really hope this guy will come up!

Parker felt Liu Mang's fiery eyes, felt the waistcoat cold, and subconsciously tightened his muscles......

A small episode, the Spurs were originally going to finish the first half steadily, but after Duncan was beaten, as if he was crazy, Duncan, who had two pieces of hemostatic cotton stuffed in his nose, turned into a stuffy man, he had long been upset by Rashid Wallace's various small actions and roars from time to time, but he didn't say that there was no expression on his face, and after the game restarted, Duncan was the first to break out on the Spurs' side.

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang continued to harden with the Spurs, with Jason Terry and Maddy opening up space, and he scored and passed the ball relatively easily.

At halftime, the Hawks trailed the Spurs by four points, 56-60, with Duncan scoring seven straight points in the final three minutes and Bunch Wells hitting a layup.

Although Liu Mang scored 10 points in the last 3 minutes and scored 28 points at halftime, he was still 4 points behind the Spurs.

……

……

Stable, this word runs through the style of the Spurs in this game, no matter how Liu Mang and Maddie try to speed up, when it comes to the Spurs' offense, the rhythm slows down all of a sudden.

Even if the Spurs can't prevent the offense led by Liu Mang and Maddie, even if the Spurs are so tired on the defensive end that they can't defend themselves, the speed will slow down immediately on the offensive end!

Duncan, the core player, was beaten by his teammates, and he was still so stable, his teammates were affected by his stability, and the whole team played very steadily.

At the end of the third quarter, Liu Mang had already scored 39 points, and the Hawks also scored 82 points, but the Spurs also scored 88 points, and the difference in points was stretched to 6 points after the third quarter!

The Hawks have been chasing points, but they have not been able to catch up, and the Spurs are too stable!

Ginobili and Duncan have been accurate without pinching them, Bunch Wells played 22 minutes, just enough to get through the time of Duncan and Ginobili on the court "rest", Barry, Bowen, Udri, Horry The four major pitchers failed to defend against the Hawks, but they combined to shoot a total of 8 three-pointers, and also played the role that the offensive end should have.

The game was held in such a steady rhythm by the Spurs until the fourth quarter.

In the middle and late fourth quarter, on the Hawks' side, Coach Kruger had begun to play three-point tactics, letting Liu Mang, Maddy, and Jason Terry take turns to throw, but in the middle and late fourth quarter, the Spurs were still so stable, just like Duncan's characteristics, absolutely calm, the whole team was taken so steady by Duncan, and when there were 37 seconds left in the end, the Hawks were still 103-111 behind.

With 37 seconds left, 9 points behind, so desperate! Liu Mang felt desperate!

"I don't want to give up!"

Liu Mang looked at the big screen and had no fighting spirit, and suddenly heard a voice with a very unwilling tone.

Liu Mang turned his head and saw that it was Maddie!

Looking at Maddie's unwilling expression, Liu Mang's unwillingness was also activated.

"Ah...... Yes," Liu Mang gritted his teeth and said, "We haven't met a strong team for many years and lost two games in a row!" I want to win! ”

"Ding...... Temporary Mission: God Coming triggers. ”
