The Basketball Court Swordsman

Until Livingston stood on the free throw line, the fans in the stands still had difficulty calming down. The just turned over jumper, the stretch of Livingston's body and the precision of his shot, couldn't help but make the fans say hello in their hearts.

This guy is really a player nobody wants?

Although it was only a goal, as a player who was not expected, his goal was enough to excite everyone.

Originally under the effect of the badge, Livingston has been able to improve the tacit understanding with his teammates since he entered the team. What's more, Henson also allowed Livingston to use his best method to hit his opponent. Livingston will never get this kind of treatment in other teams. But it was Henson who allowed him to play in the way he was good at, and he showed his strength!

Thus, with the cheers of the Pacers fans, Livingston stood on the free throw line and made a free throw! He used a brilliant three-pointer to complete his first offense after joining the Pacers. While Larry Drew was still complaining that Livingston was too lucky, Livingston was already thinking about how to torture Shelvin Mark in the next round.

The point difference instantly becomes 6 points. If the Pacers continue to score goals, the gap will soon be widened to double digits. Larry Drew was dancing on the sidelines, he did not allow the Pacers to show their momentum because of the presence of a Livingston!

Drew doesn't want to lose again, not only is it about his job, but also because he doesn't want to lose to that Chinese man again!

?Although three years have passed, although his grievance with Henson has lasted for three years. But he still remembers the vicious sarcasm of that man after every defeat. Henson climbed into the position of head coach after only one year as an assistant coach, which still made Drew feel unbalanced.

He has never seen such a demeanor and cunning coach, and Drew is even more angry that this demeanor can beat himself time and time again! The Hawks and Pacers met three times this season, and he was even shaved!

These grievances, these accounts, old Drew is firmly in his heart!

Repeatedly losing to Henson, so that success, honor, and money disappeared. But now, seeing Henson become more and more successful, seeing Henson and his own gap widening, he is more unwilling. It feels as if Henson is stepping on his body!

?Will this person lose again today? Will the Hawks be completely blocked by the Pacers this season? Do not! Larry Drew has had enough, this time period is the best chance for the Eagles to beat the Pacers! In any case, he has to win back a city!

Therefore, Drew is so excited and so excited today. His shouts on the sidelines have never stopped since the beginning of the game. He does not believe that Henson can bury his great situation with a "waste"!

Old Drew was indignant over there, but Henson didn't care about Old Drew's mood and thoughts. Who is Larry Drew? Henson doesn't care, the only thing he cares about is how to win the game without excessively consuming players!

Livingston's offense is beautiful, but the defense is also very tough. Even if most players who have experienced this devastating injury recover physically, it is difficult for them to return to their previous state mentally.

Once a player starts to be fearful, do you still expect him to perform well?

But Livingston has become strong after experiencing the psychological trough of thinking about suicide. He is not afraid of confrontation. On the contrary, he knows that fierce confrontation on the defensive end can make a good impression on the team coach. So on the defensive end, Livingston has never been a good one.

Shelvin Mark has experienced this, and Stephenson is also very tough. But compared to Stephenson, Livingston's defense is so calm.

He will not be angry or angry, just like his always cold face. Mark tried several breakthroughs to no avail and had to hand the ball to Josh Smith.

Smith tried to hit the basket with his strong body like the first half. But this time, Al Horford made up the defense in time, causing Josh to commit an offensive foul.

Josh's impact was a bit too violent. Against this kind of player, fouling is undoubtedly the best way.

"Damn, how could it be a foul!?" Drew yelled at the referee, but the referee ignored it.

Drew was thankful that the referee ignored him, because if he did, it was at least a technical foul.

The Pacers attacked again, with a 6-point gap hanging over Drew. As Henson's old opponent, he knows very well how difficult it will be to pull back once the game enters the pace of the Pacers.

Livingston steadily controls the ball. Although he is 2.01 meters tall, he has to admit that he is more like a point guard than Stephenson.

Livingston looked around, the Eagles' one-on-one defense was very firm, and none of his teammates had a chance to catch the ball.

But it is precisely because the opponent's one-on-one defense is very firm, so there is a big gap in the basket!

So Livingston suddenly lowered the center of gravity, accelerated suddenly, and ran to the penalty area!

"Livingston suddenly accelerated, and the Hawks' man-to-man defense left their baskets unattended! His steps are very large, and Shelvin Mark is very difficult to guard!"

While Webber was talking, Livingston had already rushed into the penalty area. Under Shelvin Mark's defense, Livingston once again used his left leg to exert force, leaped high, and completed a one-handed dunk with extremely fast bullet speed!

Just after Livingston dunked to the ground, Shelvin Mark still stood in place. He was stunned, he didn't expect this guy in front of him would suddenly dunk. Because what words does his coach use to describe this guy? waste?

"Mark is not good at defensive aerial work." Off the court, Henson's right-hand man Stevens shook his head. He knew Shelvin Mark too well. Naturally, he has a thorough understanding of his shortcomings. So if Livingston chooses to launch an offensive from a high altitude, Mark has no choice.

Just now, Mark has been made a three-pointer by Livingston. He didn't want to send the opponent to the free throw line for the second time in a row. So, only watching Livingston complete the dunk.

"Damn, is that guy really Livingston!?" Drew turned his head and shouted at his assistant coach. He couldn't believe that this disabled man could dunk with such a fast bounce speed!

Drew's plan today was to make every player on the field face up to the Pacers players as much as possible, playing a suppressing role. But Livingston suddenly appeared, let Shelvin and Mark be sorry. Once wrong, Drew's plan will go wrong!

At this time, the point difference has become 8 points, old Drew does not know whether he should continue to play Shervin Mark. He decided to wait. Livingston's ability to score two goals in a row does not mean that he can show performance later.

This time the Hawks attacked, and the others were still locked up. When Henson emphasized one-on-one defense, Josh Smith's breakthrough shots didn't work.

In the beginning, the Eagles were able to play a beautiful team offense, but now they can only rely on Josh's singles.

As in the previous round, Horford's timely defense made Josh hit the wall. Only this time the referee did not call Josh an offensive foul, but gave Horford a defensive foul.

But for Josh Smith to the free throw line, Henson was not worried. As a heavy tank-type small forward, Josh Smith's free throw is as unreliable as James. To be precise, it is one gear worse than James.

There is no Joe Johnson this season, and after Josh's free throws increased, his average free throw percentage was only 51.7%. What is the concept of 51.7%? Dwight Howard, a "Warcraft" who is recognized as not free thrower, has only two percentage points lower than Josh's free throw percentage this season.

So on the free throw line, Josh made only 1 of two free throws, and the gap was 7 points. The Pacers still have the opportunity to widen the point difference to double digits.

This time, it was Livingston! His off-the-ball running and Horford's tacit off-the-ball screen allowed Livingston to throw off Mark a little distance. With absolute height advantage, this little space is enough for Livingston to complete the catch and shoot from the free throw line.

In everyone's impression, Livingston is a guard who can't shoot. In fact, such an evaluation is unfair to Livingston. Livingston is just not good at shooting three-pointers, but his mid-range is amazing.

Under Fraser's guidance this month, Livingston quickly recovered his mid-range feel. In yesterday's confrontational training, Livingston made more than one shot in the heads of two defensive champions George and Green, let alone Shervin Mark.

In this way, Livingston put the net into the net, and it turns out that a point guard who can't shoot three-pointers can also find an efficient offensive path.

After the goal was scored, the Eagles officially trailed the Pacers by 9 points! Old Drew called the game to stop, let Livingston score 7 points in a row, he must be substituted!

But after looking around, who else can Drew replace? Jeff Teague? Teague is shorter and thinner than Shelvin Mark, and he will definitely not work against Livingston. Finally, Drew set his sights on John Jenkins, a first-year guard.

John Jenkins was selected by the Hawks with the 23rd overall pick in 12 years. He is 1.93 meters tall and serves as a shooting guard. He is a shooter. The body is strong, but the speed is not fast, just to defend against Livingston!

"Jenkins, come on, top one! I don't want to see that waste goal anymore, I don't want one!" Drew decided not to let any traditional point guard play, he must first defend firmly!

Jenkins was obviously also a little daunted, because he was never an organizer. But he had to listen to what the coach said.

In this way, Jenkins, who was not sure about the situation, was ordered to go to the top position. But when the timeout was over and Old Drew looked at the stadium again, he suddenly felt extremely desperate.

Livingston, who had scored 7 points in a row, was replaced by Henson and replaced him. Stephenson, who had been holding back the entire half and wished to blow up the Hawks' basket!

Henson admitted that Jenkins is a very good catcher and shooter. But limited by height, speed and consciousness, Henson dared to assert. In 1-on-1, Jenkins can't guard anyone!

At this time, it is the best time for Stephenson to release his anger!

"The substitution of coach Drew makes people incomprehensible. Jenkins and Dengtai Jones are partnering outside? He is crazy!"

Weber was right. Drew had lost his sanity in the first half. Livingston's 7 points in a row and close to double-digit gap made him feel pressured. Not everyone can make the right decision under high pressure.

Lacking a traditional point guard, the Hawks' first offense after returning from a timeout was very chaotic. In the end, the ball passed for 24 seconds but finally failed to pass the gap, so Dengtai Jones forced a shot against George.

But naturally, Jones is not the kind of player who can complete offense against defensive players.

Later, the angry Stephenson used the fancy moves he learned from Harlem to play with Jenkins, a first-year rookie. Stephenson's fancy moves are for Mark to send the ball, but for Jenkins it is not the case.

He went inside, and before the Hawks center Johan Petro came, staged a brutal one-handed snap button!

"Finally, Lance Stephenson played a wonderful offense! 11 points difference, will the Eagles collapse!?"

Chris Weber is facing the microphone, his mouth is like a machine gun.

??? Wharton beside Webb was completely silent, this dunk seemed to slap him. He once said that Livingston could not change the game, but it turns out that the game situation started to change from the moment Livingston came on the court.

At the same time, Old Drew seemed to be discouraged and suddenly sat down on the bench.

This guy who has been a basketball coach for more than ten years has fallen into deep self-doubt.

Because, he was actually beaten up by a "trash".

Starting with Old Drew, the Eagles have actually collapsed...
