: 942. Progress of Coach Kruger

The Hawks started a wave of 8-2!
The Suns called a timeout!
Except for Quentin Richardson who scored two points on a mid-range jumper, the Suns won one point in the first three minutes!
The Suns played awkwardly since they lost the jump ball, and the Eagles took the initiative.
Mike Woodson asked Liu Mang to defend against Big Q. In addition to Liu Mang's good physical strength and running along with Big Q, there is no problem. He also wanted to use Liu Mang to help defend better. This is not as good as Prince. It may be a little inferior to McGrady, who is devoted to defense and passing, but his assist ability is better, and Liu Mang is more comprehensive on the defensive end.
Liu Mang was not afraid of confrontation, and dared to collide with Stoudemire. He actively attacked Stoudemire with Kwame Brown. He consciously released the Suns to start a big Q open shot with the worst scoring ability inside and outside. .
Quentin Richardson has been thoroughly studied by the Eagles coaching staff. In fact, the characteristics of the eight players in the Suns' main rotation have been studied by the Eagles coaching staff.
After losing to the Suns, the Eagles coaching team regarded the Suns as the imaginary enemy of the Finals after the Spurs. The games that have started from the Suns preseason have been well studied.
After the research, it was discovered that the Suns coach D'Antoni did not know why he was so keen on the rotation of eight players. If the main body has enough physical strength, he can't wait for the five players to rotate until the end of the game.
Not only is D'Antoni strange, but the entire Suns are very strange. Stoudemire showed his talent for mid-range shooting last season. He didn't shoot this season. He has dunked 3 times this season, second only to O'Neal. 245 times.
The second and third are a distance away from the Straits of Malacca. The third Kwame Brown has so far dunked 101 times. The three of them are the only three players in the league to break 100 times so far.
That is, Stoudemire has nearly 8 points per game on dunks.
Nash is also very strange, like not using magnesium powder to lick sweat with his tongue.
Joe Johnson faced the defensive man's single-range long-range shot more than counterattack open shots. Of course, Joe Johnson's three-point open position is also particularly accurate, 46% of the three-point shooting, but one-on-one singles are more accurate , The singles hit a three-point shooting rate as high as 51% ...
Sean Marion is very different from the Suns but fits well. He loves to defend.
Love of defense is not a problem, but in the Suns love of defense, with a two-meter and one-hundred height to play the league's defensive efficiency second only to Duncan and Rashid Wallace in the league, it is strange enough, and the Suns played The team, the power forward played the worst, including Duncan scored less than 15 points in three games against Marion.
However, Sean Marion ranked sixth among the league's power forwards in offensive efficiency, which made him very compatible with the Suns.
And the most wonderful thing is Quentin Richardson, not running to catch the ball, stunned not to shoot!
Quentin Richardson averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game this season, ranking third in the league, behind Ray Allen's 3.1 three-pointers and Liu Mang's 3.8 three-pointers, but What's amazing is that after his long-distance running, his shooting percentage is as high as 41%, but only 29% of his fixed-point shots!
This made Mike Woodson's brains open and arranged an unimaginable defense to empty the league's third three-pointer this season!
Of course, it is not pure short-selling, it is to find death, but a skillful short-selling.
The first is to do a good job of retreating. No matter what you can do, you have to take the defensive position steadily and let the Suns fall into positional battle as much as possible.
Then, McGrady and Rashid Wallace went to Marion and Joe Johnson's open three-pointer. Marion had a hard time dealing with this. This guy had a free cut, but Joe Johnson did not have the ability to run.
Liu Mang, Kwame Brown, and Prince strictly implemented Mike Woodson's defensive strategy, forcing the Suns to concentrate the ball in the hands of Nash and Stoudemire, freeing up a large gap in the top arc to give Nash and Stoudemire screened, and then when Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire, Liu Mang and Kwame Brown slammed Stoudemire.
The defensive strategy is simple and crude, but effective!
The main reason is that the Suns did n’t hit the run. Although the Suns attacked the position very well, Mike Woodson played a bit of an alternative this time. After Stoudemire received the ball, the big Q had already run. The gap stopped and Stoudemire passed three passes to Big Q, but Big Q only shot one shot from the left side of the free throw line, and the two open threes were iron!
The rhythm problem is in front of superstars like Nash, players like Stoudemire who have top star strength under Nash's pass, and even top-notch stars like Joe Johnson and Marion's top stars. The problem is not big.
But for role players like Quentin Richardson, who are particularly dependent on the rhythm of shooting, the problem is greater.
Big Q is a great season, the Suns are the most scoring scorers, but the shooting rate is only 38%, the three-point shooting rate is not bad, 36%, but the sense of rhythm is wrong, it is very good Poor, too dependent on the rhythm, otherwise the Suns spent 6 years with 50 million yuan to recruit the big Q last summer, and played well. It is still the Suns ’most competitive position. The dedicated team helped the Suns create a run. The pinnacle was sold in the original time and space for a year, and it was because of this.
The Hawks scored 8 points on 4-of-5 shooting, but the Suns only made 1 of 4 shots. D'Antoni was forced to call a timeout.
D'Antoni really didn't expect this to happen. The Rockets didn't recognize him. The opponent's rhythm was too slow for them to speed up. The Spurs didn't recognize it. The opponent's rhythm was stable. Ginobili Sao.
But after winning the Hawks once, D'Antoni is very confident, the kind of self-confidence, the Suns are truly regarded as "credit teams" because they beat the Hawks once.
Moustache has always been arrogant, otherwise it will not be the second year when Kobe reimbursed when coaching the Lakers. He wo n’t fight for the top spot. He won three games in the last 4 games and forced the Jazz to rank second to the bottom in the west. At the end of the season, he voluntarily resigned and was so accented and proud.
After D'Antoni won the Hawks once, he felt that the Hawks were not their opponents.
Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this game, the opponent's defense was very targeted.
The Hawks coaching staff spent a long time studying the Suns, and even when the All-Star weekend coach Kruger and Mike Woodson were on vacation, they were still in contact to study the first strong enemy back on this All-Star weekend.
D'Antoni did not think so much, his belief is to shoot and then shoot.
Intentionally give Stoudemire a chance to cut in, then actively attack, reduce the Nash breakthrough, and let Quentin Richardson make a fixed shot ...
D'Antoni did not make substitutions. He did not like substitutions and made some offensive adjustments.
As for the defensive end, the Hawks played three counterattacks ... as long as they didn't make it.
On the Hawks, when the first round of tactics succeeded, coach Kruger waited for D'Antoni to call a timeout and immediately began to lay out the second stage of tactics. Mike Woodson added a computer to watch for defense. The preparation is quite adequate.
D'Antoni laughed after winning them last time. They still remember that after spending a long time with a certain No. 1 player, the two also became stingy.
...
Back from the timeout, there were no substitutions on either side and the Suns played in the frontcourt.
After receiving the serve, Nash went to the top arc and found that the man who defended him was replaced by Liu Mang!
Not the same! Not what the coach expected!
Wouldn't the party who made a good tactic succeed make adjustments first? How did this law change to the Eagles!
Nash dared to find Stoudemire out of the pick and roll, and the people who followed Stoudemire also changed and became Rashid Wallace!
Stoudemire was really up this time to block Liu Mang, Nash broke around the pick and roll, Stoudemire blocked Liu Mang and cut from the left side of the basket, but Rashid Wallace did not Changed defense, but kept sticking to Stoudemire, not allowing Stoudemire to rush into the inside.
When Nash rushed to the free throw line, Liu Mang forcibly bypassed the screen and rushed towards him. With excellent vision, he saw Kwame Brown was blocked by Kwame Brown when Marion cut from the bottom line. In the course of the game, Joe Johnson is bound to be guarded by McGrady, and the big Q is also closely followed by Prince. It is a good way to break into the inside, but Marion's cut allows Kwame Brown to rush into the basket and enter Between Liu Mang and Kwame Brown ...
For a moment, Nash thought about various passing schemes in his mind, but they were not good. Nash reached the free throw line position. Before Liu Mang put in place, he stopped the jumper, throwing the ball to the basket in the posture of riding an archery!
"Uh"
The ball hits the hollow! Nash's shot is great! Among the outside players this season, 46% of his overall field goal percentage is second only to Tracy McGrady's 47% and 1% higher than Kobe.
Liu Mang tried to chase and defend with the fastest speed possible, but still could not catch up.
But he didn't hesitate, rushed back to the basket and picked up the ball, quickly sent to McGrady, who was already fast off, and then rushed towards the frontcourt. Prince on the other side also quickly got off the ground.
McGrady received Liu Mang's serve in the center line and continued to accelerate.
Big Q, Joe Johnson, and Nash, who both scored goals, quickly chased towards McGrady and Prince. Liu Mang followed, and beyond the three-point line, McGrady, who was struck, immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang just got the ball and jumped. Nash, who turned back, and Marion, who quickly retreated, threw himself up. Marion's long arms enveloped Liu Mang's shooting space!
After Nash was detained, the defense was hard to prevent, but now it is even harder. Liu Mang did n’t dare to throw it in the air. There were only three fast breaks in his own house, and five of the opponents had reached halftime. Liu When he reached the highest point of the jump, he still didn't shoot. He threw it toward the left side of the basket, hoping that Prince could run fast enough, and he would throw it out of bounds to pull the Suns into position again.
"Ding ... The air magician is triggered at level 4. The host jumped the pass this time and deceived the opponent's defender, leading the ball."
Luck can't stop it!
When Liu Mang passed the ball, Stoudemire, who had just rushed into the three-point line, made a mistake and rushed towards McGrady. Prince sent a fierce rush to receive the ball and jumped along the sprint. , After the low-altitude flight, he scored two points!
Everyone in Prince didn't talk much. After jumping short, he pretended to be a homeopathic bent leg movement, hitting the ball that bounced after landing and hit the bottom line reporter, blocking the Suns. Pick up and serve the first time.
Of course, more than this, the Hawks have two people who did not participate in the fast-break, otherwise Liu Mang will not shoot the ball too tight, and Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown are on the free throw line of the backcourt. side!
Nash didn't know what to say about Liu Mang's pass this time. There was no one in the direction of Liu Mang's pass. Did he trust his teammates so much?
When the Suns attacked again, Nash played half a quarter, and he was used to advancing the positional battle. The Hawks couldn't get two insiders, and the three outsiders came back quickly.
Nash advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play pick-and-roll with Stoudemire. They all started from pick-and-roll in the positional battle. The Suns are not only the first in the league in counterattack scoring, but also the first in the league in pick and roll offense.
Nash continued to use the pick-and-roll to get rid of Liu Mang, and once again got a phone call in the middle distance. This emergency stop jumper was not as good as the last one. The middle distance emergency stop jumper missed!
The Eagles are fighting back!
The three arrows waved the whip, and the cavalry company charged!
In the next period of time, Nash felt worse and worse, not because he didn't show up on his mobile phone, but he got too many out of the phone!
It's awkward!
The Suns usually play their own rhythm, regardless of the opponent's rhythm. In fact, they play any opponents. They just study the opponent's back defense. How fast does the rhythm need to be mentioned? Which teammate is sent to it is easier to attract the teammate and then divide the ball to the empty teammate ...
The Suns ’offense is so powerful that they can ignore most of their opponents’ defenses, so apart from studying their opponents slowly and carefully before the beginning of the season, they have n’t studied them slowly for a long time. Already, they think they are the next Eagles, especially after the last time they defeated the Eagles, they suddenly felt that they have replaced the Eagles. In this wave of nine consecutive victories, they have never studied their opponents, the Eagles. I just watched the last video of the two teams fighting, and took out the successful tactics in it.
But now Nash feels it, the Hawks have a targeted defense against them, let him score, cut off his connection with his teammates!
Nash made a 7-of-4 shooting with 7 shots in the first quarter, 5 of 9 shots in the first quarter, a three-pointer, scored 11 points in a single quarter, but only two assists, the key is that teammates have only two assists, The Suns only got four assists in the first quarter, and they averaged 24.6 assists per game in the league's second season this season. The average assists per game in the first quarter were almost 7.9.
The Suns scored just 24 points in the first quarter, which is far lower than their average of 29 points per game in the first quarter of the season, second only to the Hawks' average of 29.6 points per game.
Although Nash got a lot of opportunities to get out of the phone, the effective offensive passes are too few. No matter how D'Antoni adjusts his tactics, the Hawks have two defensive focuses.
First, stare at the others and prevent Quentin Richardson from running and catching shots. Marion and Joe Johnson are both fixed-point shooters for three-pointers. Marion still has free cuts. Joe Johnson There is no good scoring ability in the basket. The layup ability evaluation is only 83, which is similar to the scoring ability of a veteran outside. Marion ’s ability to run is because of his empty cutting, but Rashid Wallace and Kwame -Brown and Josh Smith, who have been rotated, have good physical fitness. After studying Marion's position, he has been very targeted.
Targeting alone is not enough. The most important thing is the second point. When Nash breaks through, he will have a chance to vote. If he does not change defense, he will let Nash vote.
Nash has a strong scoring ability and is particularly strong. The point guard is in the same position as Liu Mang and Iverson. They are all the kind of stars who have 90+ ability evaluations without looking at the defense.
But Nash scored many offenses that were not organized, and still not work! He does not have the mentality of Liu Mang and Iverson in the end!
Nash knows that the passer's first choice is to shoot ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but he made 9 shots in the first quarter, but he only averaged 11 shots per game this season. I threw a ball and thought about passing the ball. As a result, I missed a lot of real chances. When I pass again, I can only play singles by Joe Johnson. The loss is because Joe Johnson is a singles, otherwise they may have 20 points. Can't get it!
On the Hawks side, Liu Mang, like someone in Los Angeles today, suddenly fell in love with the ball and jumped to attract a defensive pass. The two defensive Nash and Big Q of the Suns and one defensive conscious Marion's head was too big, and the pass was absolutely incredible, as if throwing it casually, but he really got 3 assists in a single quarter, sometimes cheated his teammates, and Prince jumped up and missed. It turned out to be on McGrady's face ...
However, in this way, the Hawks finished the first quarter, relying on the lead of 8 to 2 in the opening, stunned to score 31 points in a single quarter, leading the Suns by 7 points!
Leading by 7 points in the first quarter, the Hawks' fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger!
After Liu Mang succeeded in the first tactic today, he devoted more attention to the tactics of the coaching staff. Throughout the first quarter, the tactics were effective!
In the first quarter, Liu Mang didn't have a lot of mobile phones. He passed 7 goals, three of which turned into assists, and two turnovers. He scored 9 points on 4 of 8 shots. The Hawks' starting lineup was full. In the first quarter, led by McGrady's 4 assists in a single quarter, the team achieved a 7-point lead.
Leading the Suns into the second quarter, the rhythm belongs to his own side, Liu Mang is very happy, but more happy is the progress of coach Kruger since the last loss to the Suns!
Coach Kruger gradually evolved from a provider of tactics proficient in various tactics, a tactical coach who built a tactical framework, to a coach that responds on the spot!
