LIGHTNOVELONLINE chapter 1567. Unexpected progress of the game
More troublesome than expected is that the players on the Magic team know the Eagles very well!
In other words, in terms of pertinence, the Hawks’ attention from the beginning of the season has been focused on the Western Three Lakers.
The Magic have always regarded the Hawks as their biggest rival, or … The other teams in the East are considering the playoffs with the Hawks as the finish line.
All Eastern Conference playoff teams regard the Hawks as the ultimate imaginary enemy, especially the Magic.
These teams have thought about a lot of tactics against the Eagles, but they may not be used when they meet other teams, they have not been exhibited, or they have been used very rarely. The Eagles did not know when they studied them. They have such tactics, and some are like the Nets. If there is a tactic, no player can get the effect and be killed …
The Magic are the kind of capable and prepared opponents.
However, the Eagles’ offense, the Magic did not have a very good way, Liu Mang was voted 4 of 3 in the middle.
Despite being 4 points behind, the Magic have to attack first, and the Hawks ’disadvantage is not great … But in the first game of the series, coach Kruger did not want to chase slowly in a backward manner, in case the boat overturned in the gutter The first game is worse than the first game of losing the Bulls away last year!
Rondo’s playing Howard is really choking. Howard is one of the rare regular season players who can make Rondo’s average shooting percentage in four games below 40%. Rondo’s best inside footsteps. Howard just restrained this. .
If the first half did not rely on Liu Mang to get 6 points in the middle of 4 of 3, and also passed a ball to McGrady and Kwame Brown, the difference in points may be too big. Howard is inside. Rondo passed the ball out. Nelson ignored Rondo much.
“That tactic hasn’t worked for a long time, the Eastern Conference Finals … just try it first!”
After a timeout, the Hawks attacked.
The Hawks sent a team of Liu Mang, Wade, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown.
The Magic have no plans to make substitutions. Nielsen has a good three-pointer today and continues to be on the court. The Big Five continue to fight.
“What’s wrong with them?”
Rahim feels a little bad!
Looking at the kind of eagerness of the other five players to play, although Rahim doesn’t know what the other party is going to do, it must be that guy has a strange idea!
To greet teammates, be careful. Rahim received a step outside the three-second zone, preparing to help Howard defend the basket and help other teammates defend the middle distance.
Rahim Howard is the best defensive inside combination in the league, and their defensive coverage is around the lap in the three-second zone. However … The Hawks came back from time to time and the offense was quite satisfactory. Wade assisted McGrady with a pick-and-roll and passed it back to the disassembled McGrady. McGrady missed a mid-range jumper.
Howard used Rahim to block Liu Mang, received a defensive rebound and passed it to Rahim.
“Did I think too much?”
Rahim passed the ball to Nelson, which was a bit strange.
“Um … ha …”
At this time there were continuous exclamations!
Rahim turned his head and saw Liu Mang hit the ball into the rim with one hand!
Just now, after Rahim passed the ball, when Nelson was about to catch the ball, Tracy McGrady rushed to the court and pressed, Nelson was startled, the ball did not catch, Tracy McGrady hurriedly shot the ball out, Wade Grab the ball and throw it to Liu Mang, Liu Mang jumped directly and took the ball into the hoop!
Marion and Kwame Brown were out of defense, but the outside trio did not withdraw. The Magic completely did not expect this, leaving only Rahim and Nelson to advance in the backcourt and was directly back Field steals!
All this happened in just over two seconds, not to mention Rahim. Nelson, who was surrounded by McGrady and Wade, did n’t know what happened. The ball was gone, and he sat with McGrady. on the floor!
Marion, who was the fastest to retreat, has just retreated from the center line, and the offensive has been over here!
As it happened, Marion and Kwame Brown continued to retreat.
Liu Mang and Wade went to pull Maddie up. The three of them really retired this time. Looking at the magical expression of the Magic players, the Hawks civilian quintet feels cool!
The score changed to 15-17, two points were worse, the Magic players were a bit ignorant …
“What happened?”
Soon the Magic knew what the Hawks were doing.
Liu Mang, Wade and McGrady defensive tyrants formed a meat grinder defense on the outside!
No matter who is holding the ball, their choice is to use the closest one to push up and defend.
It’s very simple, very direct, and very rough defense, but it’s such a simple, direct, and rough defense, quite unsolvable!
The three outsiders have confrontation, speed, and defensive ability!
McGrady, the weakest defender, has also been selected for the second defense, and is focused on defense. Even Carter, it is difficult to get rid of these three one-on-one.
It is difficult for others to control the ball or even advance!
It is even more unreliable to play a pick-and-roll. Howard pick-and-roll is equivalent to sending teammates into the bag, and there is still no kind of passing angle. It is impossible for the Magic team. Howard has no talent for pick and roll. Can not be cultivated in years.
Rahim went to the pick-and-roll … Marion didn’t make a difference in defending.
The Hawks play is very clear, let the opponent see their tactics at a glance, but you can’t deal with it!
This time, the Magic players determined that Wade was really healthy. This guy who played twenty-four or four minutes per game, scored ten points, three or four rebounds, and two or three assists was the Hawks team. Defensive core!
There are four players in the Hawks lineup, four of them are hard-working, active and selfless … The key is that the defense is very strong! To say that there is only one Dolby, it is the kind that throws back no matter what is thrown directly …
But that guy is the 4th mvp and 4th finals mvp!
10 to 2!
After returning from the first official timeout, the Hawks played a wave of 10-2! All of a sudden the score was 23 to 19, from 4 points behind to 4 points ahead!
Starting from McGrady’s steals, Wade pass, Liu Mang’s first meat grinder defense counterattack, the Magic team was aggressive, except for Howard who scored two points, no one else scored successfully. In two and a half minutes, the Magic only scored two points!
The Magic coach Skiles didn’t respond, and didn’t think of it as a timeout until he was four points behind.
“It’s a bit too strong!” Carla looked at the civilian quintet of opponents, feeling that things were a bit beyond their imagination: “Aren’t they playing the Bulls with all their strength?”
When playing the Bulls, the Eagles certainly used their full strength, but it was not suitable for the Bulls to use civilian tactics. Garnett and Ben Wallace were both pick-and-roll players. Hinrich controlled the ball and was stable. Janwe ’s oppression defense against Parker , Leonard and Duncan are not the top three. The Eagles are also unlikely to have good results against oppressive defense against Hinrich Roller Dungarnet.
However, although the Hawks’ first half of the game was not as clear as the Magic’s preparations, it also found some places to use.
The Magic team outside, except Carter, the other two against Liu Mang, Wade, McGrady have no confrontational advantage!
The problem with this tactic is that it consumes a lot of energy, it does n’t make it to the Nets, and it does n’t work to play the Bulls … When they arrived at the Magic, they became the first time the Hawks used this tactic in the playoffs …
Liu Mang did not expect that the opponent had the illusion that “the other party did not use his full strength before”.
This does not affect the fighting spirit and efforts of the Magic team. Liu Mang didn’t know that the opponent thought this way, but it always had some influence on the game.
After returning from another long timeout, the Magic played harder!
At least in the first half, the head coaches of the two teams were preparing to test the strength of each other, but coach Kruger suddenly wanted to try “civilian tactics”, so that the players on the Magic team felt a deep threat. Directly bring the game rhythm into the decisive state!
The Eagles were inexplicably involved in the decisive battle …
In the second quarter ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ The fight was just like the fourth quarter, and it started to fight melee and confrontation.
After the first half, the Hawks led 7 points from 30 to 23 in the first quarter, and only 8 points from 51 to 43 after the first half! In the second quarter, the offensive efficiency of both teams was extremely low!
At halftime, the Eagles locker room was filled with complaints.
“Is the Magic over there? Did you start playing like this in the first quarter? He thought they were the Bulls?” Jason Terry, who went up for 7 minutes and 4 of 0, complained.
As Jason Terry said, in the long 48-minute game time, if the strength of the two sides of the battle is not big, throw one or two good shots, make a good defense once or twice, it will have a great impact on the overall situation. small.
Except for the Bulls’ defensive team, most teams are testing the opponent in the first half and even the first three quarters of the game, thinking of a tactic that is best for defeating the opponent to play critical moments, just like jazz In the series against the Lakers, as long as the points are not pulled apart, the Lakers have a way to deal with the Jazz in the fourth quarter.
The Bulls and the previous Spurs and Pistons gave opponents headaches because of this.
Coach Kruger heard the complaints of the players. He didn’t know why the opponent should enter the decisive state in advance, but this is obviously beneficial to the Eagles!
The Magic use Carter as the core of the ball to hold the ball to promote the organization of the offense, to avoid the pressure defense of the Hawks’ outside line, the task for Carter has increased and the consumption has become greater.
The most important thing is that the Magic team has started to fight defense. It seems that they have forgotten the core play of the two towers and three shots, which is definitely a greater burden for their main players.
Since the opponent has dug a hole for himself, coach Kruger sees that the opponent has jumped, of course, he has to help the opponent with a shovel!
