: 831. Weaknesses exposed, direction of adjustment

Still more than the old generation had seen, Hill served the ball to Nielsen, and then actively asked for the ball from the backcourt to control the rhythm, avoiding the team from being forced by Liu Mang ’s strange three-pointer.
That kind of unexpected play is too easy to make people want to fight back.
In other words, it's too much!
After Hill advanced to the frontcourt, he still sat and played from the outside. Liu Mang once again wrapped up and Hill immediately passed the ball to Jamison. Jamison did not make a strong shot and rushed from the right to the basket to avoid. Liu Mang made up for the defense, McGrady came up to make up the defense, and Jamison distributed to Christie at the bottom right corner.
Christie didn't shoot the ball when he received the ball, and immediately cut inwards even after receiving the ball. Even if Christie was 35 years old, his tall shooting guard with a height of 1.98 had to be defended under the basket. To the right of the three-second zone, Tracy McGrady also withdrew the bottom line.
At this time, Christie's passing ability was reflected, throwing towards the free throw line, Rahim quietly withdrew to a position within the free throw line to catch the ball!
Liu Mang made up immediately, Raheem received the ball to meet Liu Mang's defense and shot from close range!
In the last year of the Hawks, he played the blue-collar role of catching and shooting for a year, which made Rahim gain the most. In addition to the championship, there is a more stable catching and shooting ability!
Rahim also made a short jumper! Four points in the start!
From the beginning, the game entered a stalemate phase!
The Eagles tried to speed up, but the Magic insisted on playing a slow-paced tactic.
Rahim knows the Hawks too much. Although the new cavalry tactics are very different from the previous cavalry tactics, the philosophy is the same. Rahim has played cavalry tactics for the Hawks for three years. After the rhythm is brought up, Rahim knows very well, especially now that the Hawks are playing the new version of cavalry tactics, which makes Rahim very afraid, so he has already discussed with Hill and he must control the rhythm.
And Hill is an all-round forward who can control the rhythm well.
Backplay is one of the best ways to control your rhythm and organize your attack!
The two teams held each other for more than four minutes. The Magic team has been playing a strategy of creating opportunities for the outside and then turning to the inside to maintain a steady rhythm.
On the Hawks side, I couldn't improve the speed for a long time, because the Magic team's three-court rebounding ability is too good. All three are flexible, tall, and rebound-conscious frontcourt players. The Hawks rebound. The ball is at a disadvantage and can only speed up, not counterattack.
The Hawks wanted to speed up but couldn't fight back. They encountered a lot of rhythm problems. The Hawks' physical fitness was restrained, which in turn affected the outside shooting. The Magic team was in Prince and Pull. After losing two consecutive open three-pointers, Sim began to exert more defensive pressure on Liu Mang. When McGrady singled Christie, the outside shot was not good, and there were Howard and the assisted Rashid inside. Mu, did not play well.
In the fourth minute and 15 seconds of the first quarter, relying on Kwame Brown to grab an offensive rebound and make a deduction, the Hawks led again by 11 points 10 points.
When the Magic team attacked again, Jamison advanced to the frontcourt and lifted the ball to Hill at the top left corner of the free-throw line. Hill continued to stand alone in the high post.
Only Prince with a height of two meters and six wingspan of two meters and two meters can go to defend the hill. McGrady's back is not so good, Liu Mang is short and tall.
Just now, Jamison has already scored a three-pointer, giving Liu Mang the pressure to defend the three-pointer. Jamison is also a conspiracy player. It is really hard to say that he has voted. At this time, Hill is taking advantage of nobody. Clamp, turn around and cut in quickly from the middle. It's not like a guy who is worried about an ankle injury after four consecutive seasons of reimbursement. Turning his feet is sharp, as if dreaming back to ten years ago, he went straight into the basket from the middle.
Rasheed Wallace carried Howard, Kwame Brown came out to defend, Hill had an exquisite inside pass, the ball was sent from Kwame Brown's waist, Raheem received the ball to meet Rashi De Wallace threw a defensive draw from the past and made a low layup.
Four minutes and thirty seconds!
12 to 11, the Magic overtake the score again!
The Hawks were the first to be called home for a timeout!
After seeing the score stabilized by the Magic, they became more and more confident, and even the pressure on the road was restrained!
...
Seeing that the call was suspended, Liu Mang took the ball and prepared to throw a few to find the feel. The left hand was one, but the right hand was not able to shoot at the back. Today I played too hard. The feeling of wanting to run and play but running is too awkward. There is no advantage in rebounding, the speed cannot rise, the counterattack cannot be played, the rhythm of the shooting is wrong, and the rhythm of the shooting of the teammates is wrong. The defense is more stringent ... The combination of various circumstances has led to Liu Mang's overall poor condition.
Liu Mang just got the ball from the referee and heard Coach Kruger's call: "Ace, come here!"
Liu Mang immediately ran back to the bench, is there any change for the coach?
"Aisi, you and Tracy's shots are increased. Andre, you go to defend Hill's back, Nazr, go up to increase the rebounding impact ..." Coach Kruger adjusted the lineup.
Iguodala heard the anti-back body, and immediately he was full of energy. He didn't know when to start, and he was the best at anti-back body.
Muhammad heard that he was going to play against Rahim, and he was under a lot of pressure, but he was never the one to shirk his responsibility, even if he was not strong enough.
Liu Mang heard this arrangement and wanted to say whether he wanted to change Josh-Smith. Muhammad could not keep up, but he was afraid that Muhammad's face would be brushed. People, just go higher, worry The more.
...
Back from the timeout, the Hawks team, Liu Mang, Iguodala, McGrady, Mohammed, Kwame Brown lined up.
The Magic team has also been replaced. New, Chinese and old "three cores" Hill, Raheem and Howard continue to play. Hill is really a magical player, except for the four or five games at the beginning of the season, he only played more than 20 Minutes, after the state is up, the average playing time is more than 35 minutes. Rahim and Howard are the main players who play 40 minutes per game. Both are iron-type players.
The Magic replaced De Shawn Stevenson as the point guard, Turkoglu played the small forward, and Hill played the shooting guard. In other words, this lineup, without the point guard, is the small forward and shooting guard organization attack.
However, this lineup, COSCO is extremely powerful!
Liu Mang came up and saw the Magic team put on a "one star and four shots" lineup!
Turkoglu and DeShawn Stevenson both have three-pointers, and Hill and Rahim are both accurate in their shots! And four players with a height of 2.03 meters and above!
The Hawks attacked and chose the frontcourt. After Liu Mang received the ball, De Shawn Stevenson defended.
The height, speed, strength, and defensive talent "Little Emperor's Enemy" Stevenson gave Liu Mang a lot of defensive pressure. When Liu Mang saw McGrady's defense in Turkoglu, he immediately passed it to McGrady. past.
When McGrady received the ball, he immediately accelerated the breakthrough. The first three quick steps ran faster and faster, leaving Tekoglu behind him, and Tekoglu could not keep up. At this time, Liu Mang moved from behind McGrady and Tekoglu. At the bottom corner of the right side, Muhammad came out to help Liu Mang block De Shawn Stevenson. McGrady rushed to the inside to bring the defense on the right side of the basket to the basket, and then distributed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang cornered the ball and turned for a three-point shot ...
"Ding ... The quick shot master is triggered at level 5, this time the catch is not disturbed by running, and the shot speed is accelerated by 30% ..."
The feeling of discomfort after Liu Mang's rapid running completely disappeared. When he turned to shoot, he felt the same as standing there and received the ball and turned to shoot, and his shooting speed became faster. In De Shawn Stevenson, he actively got rid of Muhan. Before Mudd's pick-up after the pick-and-roll, he turned and threw the ball towards the basket!
Perfect shot feeling, Liu Mang took the ball and turned to make a 3-pointer!
14 to 12, the Hawks led by two points again.
It's the Magic's attack again, the Magic's lineup ... too big!
The key is that Hill's ball control is so good, Iguodala pressed Hill close to the audience, but failed to steal.
After reaching the frontcourt, it seemed to be "fearing" Iguodala's ability to defend his back. Hill passed the ball to Tekoglu, who held the ball in the top arc to attack.
With a height of two meters and eight, he plays the position of a small forward. It is a rare organization forward in the true sense of the league, which is taller than McGrady in front of him.
Turkoglu's iconic side leaned against McGrady to avoid being intercepted because the center of gravity was too high. At this time, the rest of the Magic started running and Hill took a part of the defense to the inside.
Liu Mang ran with Stevenson. This guy played against the Cavaliers twice this season and began to be addicted to James. He was the first player this season to say that James is a "despicable clown". He said that the league favored James. "Terminator-of-Kings", which means King Terminator, Little Emperor Terminator, and Little Emperor's rival, became his self-proclaimed nickname, but it became famous in the United States.
But this guy is indeed three-point accurate. He has made three consecutive three-pointers under the James defense. The one-on-one singles. The new career high of 26 points is that James got the defense that has not been practiced at the beginning of the season. of.
Just when all the attention was on Hill and DeShawn Stevenson, a man who had been a low-key rebounder last season and averaged 25 points per game this season was still easily overlooked again. .
Rahim ran back, Hill helped Rahim to block Muhammad, Rahim cut into the basket, Teguru sideways as if watching De Sean Stevenson running, but He threw the ball to the hoop and Rahim scored two points with a dunk!
Turkish magician!
The Magic are still tossing around and sticking to the position, especially after changing to the big lineup, the rhythm is extremely slow.
When the Hawks attacked and played the small ball, there was actually no clear shot candidate, whoever had the opportunity to send the ball to whom, but the flaw of that kind of play is that when the counterattack can't hit the wrong rhythm, Failure to make a clear shot choice often leads to hesitation in shooting, because there is no good way.
The loss is that Kruger coached Liu Mang and McGrady to strengthen the cooperation of two people and had a clear choice of shots, which is much better for Liu Mang.
Liu Mang didn't hold the ball himself, but sent the ball to McGrady. McGrady advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang showed his feelings and received a ball to meet De Shawn Stevenson's defensive three-pointer shot!
"Ding ... The fast shooting master is triggered at level 5, and the speed of catching the ball this time is accelerated by 30% ..."
"Ding ... The king of the pull is triggered at 5th level, this shot ignores the shot interference ..."
Feel a smooth flow! De Sean-Stevenson didn't expect Liu Mang to shoot like this. When Liu Mang went to the defense, Liu Mang's shot was too fast, and he had no time to interfere.
Liu Mang scored two three-pointers!
When the Magic attacked again, the Hawks began to strengthen the basket defense. These four players with a height of 2.03 meters and a 1.96-meter 3D pitcher, except Liu Mang chasing De Shawn Stevenson outside. , McGrady defended Koglu in the top arc, and the other three men shrank.
Turkoglu made a gesture, and then directly leaned against McGrady to make a three-point shot!
Despite the height advantage, the bounce gap was too large. Turkoglu was five centimeters taller than McGrady but was forcibly backed by McGrady. He decisively missed.
However, the Magic's inside advantage once again exerted its power. Kwame Brown had to fight with Howard. Howard didn't care about anything today, and he desperately grabbed the rebound with Kwame Brown. He held a sad mood. Howard, really pinned Kwame Brown!
Rahim attracted the attention of both Iguodala and Rashid Wallace. Hill grabbed an offensive rebound. When he landed, he threw the ball to the basket and hit it!
Both sides played very efficiently. The Hawks started Liu Mang's scoring show. After playing with Liu Mang, he relied on McGrady to play for him. Since the first quarter, he has maintained an efficient shooting performance from the timeout. In the next eight minutes, he scored 16 points and scored 19 points in a single quarter. The Hawks have also maintained a leading advantage.
But the Magic did not fall far behind. After the first quarter, the Hawks scored 31 points, but the Magic also scored 26 points!
...
The Magic didn't shake the play because of Liu Mang's soaring points, and insisted on playing on the ground.
In the second quarter, Liu Mang continued to maintain a good shooting performance. Tracy McGrady attacked and defended the first quarter. It was more expensive and replaced Jason Terry to help Liu Mang.
But Jason Terry came up mainly with individual singles holding the ball, Liu Mang mainly used the running position to open up space for Jason Terry, or occasionally catch the ball.
Liu Mang also played well, scoring 11 points in the second quarter, but Jason Terry was defended by De Shawn Stevenson repeatedly to hit the iron! With few counterattacks, Jason Tread Shawn Stevenson defended, leading the Hawks to score only 2 points in the second quarter!
It was not easy to organize an attack with Iguodala. Calderon also came up to replace Jason Terry for a while. The rhythm is not right. Except Liu Mang, everyone else is not allowed to shoot.
The Magic have always insisted on playing. The defensive end defender Liu Manjia guarded the backcourt rebound. The offensive end relied on outside shooting and rebounding ability and Rahim's personal advantage to insist on playing.
At the end of the half, the Magic overtake the score!
Relying on Rahm's brutal performance of 22 points and 9 rebounds in the half, and the rhythm control of Hill and Turkoglu, the Magic played a single 28-point score in the second quarter, overtaking the Hawks by 54-52 in the second half. Minute!
...
At halftime, seeing the score was overtaken, Liu Mang wanted to understand what was wrong when he saw the Magic's offense at the beginning of the game. Now I finally understand that the Magic did indeed grab an offensive rebound in the beginning The first goal scored was John Davis's tactics!
The Magic are playing the tactics of Howard's peak in the future!
Outside shots and inside shots offensive rebounds are not played by Howard after entering the peak period, but by the way he played from the beginning. The Magic have been trained in this area since Howard Is to work towards the direction of training Howard rebounds and defense.
Because Howard does not have O'Neal's skills, nor O'Neill's body, except for the rebounding and defensive talents, there are no dominant talents in other aspects of the body, especially the strength of the lower limbs is very general from the beginning. The ultimate version of the center type, Howard has basically no ball control, strong upper limbs but hard muscles, so the Magic did not let Howard practice face-single singles, nor did he let Howard Sherber to practice back-to-back training, Howard trained from the beginning Rebound and secondary offense, defense three aspects.
In this way of training, when the core of Howard's ball control was Francis, which was the main breakthrough, he did not take it at all. The Magic won't touch the playoffs for the first time until Francis was sent away. Stay away from the playoffs.
But this time is different. In addition to Howard, they also have Rahim, and Hill has the opportunity to hold the ball without being delayed by Francis' sticky game. Hill, Rahim, and Howard immediately let the Magic own In addition to the playoff strength, and the worst three-man rebound, Hill has the ability to average five or six rebounds per game. The three form the league's most powerful rebounding trio.
That is, the Magic ’s three-pointer in this lineup is too general. Otherwise, with Hill ’s high response, Turkoglu ’s top arc organization, Rahim and Howard ’s rebounding ability and Rahim ’s low position to eat, Magic The team can already take off, taking advantage of Rahim's peak and Hill's strength to play, can fully take the rookie Howard with excellent rebounding ability to experience the feeling of a truly top strong team.
Liu Mang also understood why coach Kruger did not replace Josh Smith, but replaced Muhammad, because the Hawks were beaten 10-4 in the last few minutes because of Josh Smith. Got on.
Did Kruger know that Muhammad could not keep up with Rahim?
Not, but because Josh Smith was not as good as Muhammad in rebounding, he also went up a bit, using Josh Smith to move up against Rahim, it did work, but the Eagles were at that time. 'S rebounding is poorly protected. Although Raheem's air cuts and singles scores were limited by Josh Smith's defense, the original Hawks and Magic scored the same in the second quarter, but Josh Smith As soon as he went up, the rebound was exploded, and the Magic played a wave of 10-4 before halftime, overtaking two points at once.
...
When the opponent has a top player such as Rahim, the main reason is that the opponent has Howard and Rahim two inside combination, the rebound advantage is obvious, the Hawks' small ball tactics have been greatly impacted!
Sure enough, Maddie and Kruger worried about the situation, and Mike Woodson and Liu Mang did not have a good solution.
Returning to positional combat?
Coach Kruger did not do this. He wanted to see how many shortcomings of the team's existing small ball play could be exposed in order to better make changes to these defects, and Tracy McGrady took a break. No problem in the second half.
After playing several small balls, coach Kruger has seen it. As Liu Mang said, the future is an era of small balls, and they are creating a new era.
Although other league teams do not recognize it, coach Kruger saw the small ball tactics, which has the potential to run defensively. Many people now mistakenly think that the Hawks play the same tactics as the Suns, but they do n’t see them. The Eagles scored 5 points higher than the Suns during the small ball!
During the small ball tactics, an average of 11 points in goal difference, although not as good as the 14-point difference in last season, is still the top performance in history. In the past two decades, except for last season ’s The Eagles themselves, that is, the Bulls in the last three consecutive games have a higher net score than the current Eagles playing small ball tactics! The Bulls in the first three consecutive games have only 9 points.
Due to the fact that there are too many insiders, other teams are disdain to play this kind of game, but the Hawks do n’t have that kind of dominant inside. The best insiders are Kwame Brown and Rashid Wallace. Kwame- Brown is a physical man who is very suitable for small balls, and can also defend against low post attacks. The position defense is good, but neither he nor Rashid Wallace has the ability to attack inside, so it is coach Kruger who converted to small balls. After discovering that such play can bring out the talent of the team, what must be done, in addition to the inside, outside Iguodala, Korver, are also suitable for small ball tactics.
...
After the second half began, Liu Mang continued to focus on scoring, which means he and McGrady can continue to score steadily.
Liu Mang continued to shoot mainly after coming up in the third quarter, but as the team ’s offense was suppressed worse and worse, the Hawks were playing, and only Liu Mang and McGrady scored. This is most obviously seen by the fact that Tracy McGrady scored 9 points in a single quarter to see that, this is usually Tracy McGrady's half-time score!
Liu Mang received more defensive pressure in the third quarter. He shot 10 times in a single quarter, hitting only 3 goals and scoring 11 points.
McGrady scored 9 points, but only two assists were played in this quarter.
The Magic are playing more and more smoothly, and the defensive counterattack against the Hawks is becoming more and more targeted.
Coach Kruger has been making substitutions to try to adjust, but they have not worked very well.
Mainly rebounds!
Liu Mang scored 41 points in the third quarter, but the Hawks were 75 to 84, 9 points behind the Magic!
In the fourth quarter, the Magic had already started. Rahim scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, completely exploding the Hawks inside. Rahim, who scored 33 points in the first three quarters, got it in the last quarter. 16 points, got 49 points and 16 boards!
Howard was bullied badly by Kwame Brown, but the indignant Howard and Kwame Brown were very restricted. Howard only got 6 points and 9 rebounds. Kwame Brown only got 11 points and 10 rebounds. It played a big role, that is, against Howard.
But Kwame Brown was redeemed by Howard, and no one could go and rebound with Rahim!
The Magic rebounded 51 to 39 in this game, 12 more rebounds than the Hawks!
In particular, offensive rebounds, the Magic grabbed 18 offensive rebounds! The Eagles have only 5!
Although Liu Mang also scored 12 points in the last quarter and 23 points in the second half, the Hawks only scored 23 points in the third quarter, only 20 points in the fourth quarter, and only 43 points in the second half. Liu Mang scored 23 points alone!
Tracy McGrady tried to organize an offensive to no avail, and could only do his best to give Liu Mang the ball. His outside shot was interfered by Tekoglu, and he was caught when he rushed in. The others of the Eagles couldn't shoot. Only he and Liu Mang could score.
Liu Mang scored 53 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and McGrady scored 5 rebounds and 10 assists ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But 7 of the 10 assists were passed to Liu Mang, accounting for a percentage Seventy, and in a game where McGrady directly passes to Liu Mang to score assists, the percentage of assists is usually around 30%. Liu Mang receives and scores a high percentage, and the rest of the team also passed him. Instead of McGrady alone.
When McGrady assisted Liu Mang with 70% of the assists, it proved that there was a big problem with the Hawks attack!
In the end, Liu Mang scored 53 points and scored 74 points with McGrady, but the Hawks lost 95 to 102 at home to the Magic! Seven consecutive victories ended!
...
...
14 wins and 3 losses, the Hawks record was tied by the Suns and Pistons.
It ’s common to lose, but it ’s worth losing. Liu Mang and McGrady are very depressed, but the coaching staff is still very satisfied.
Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady were all working hard. Others were working hard, just being restrained.
But this game is the first time the Hawks have faced a real challenge since they started playing small ball tactics!
But it really discovered the team's problems.
How to deal with such a powerful power forward team has become another research topic in the Eagles coaching staff.
There were many ways to think about the game, but the time was tight, and there was no real effective response.
Now that I have lost, the Eagles coaching staff did not blame the players, but praised the efforts of the players, and then the coaching staff had to stay up late to work overtime ...
The most depressed is Liu Mang, 53 points!
Actually lost!
Isn't this the same as the little blacksmith, Dwarf Mori, and the first round of Mai, who became a 50+ losing man?
