: 1350. Defense is not that simple

A sixth team in the West looks so threatening!
It is stronger than the Spurs' pressure on the Hawks!
Liu Mang has a feeling, he does not know if it is an illusion, he feels that this Suns ... is not a chance to kill the Spurs in the playoffs!
"In the third quarter, the other party may send O'Neill, we should be directed at this point." Liu Mang suggested.
"Yes, I think so too." Stockton echoed.
This is a troublesome thing.
Coach Kruger also had a headache.
The Suns are better than expected. In the West, coach Kruger only regarded the Lakers and Bulls as the rivals. After all, these three teams are the most outstanding in the West.
But now coach Kruger finds that the Suns also have the strength to reach the finals!
That's different.
Originally playing for the Suns, coach Kruger was prepared to let Liu Mang play as early as 30 minutes, but if the Suns can be compared with the Lakers, then Liu Mang's playing time will not be restricted.
And in order to maintain the third position in the east, this time five consecutive customers, the Hawks have to work hard to win all!
After the start of the second half, the Hawks sent the strongest lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Marion, Kwame Brown.
The Suns, as expected, sent the core combination of Calderon and O'Neill's second team, but with Nash, Josh Smith, James Jones!
Nash is not a player who has never played catch-and-shoot. In Mavericks' singles tactics, most of the cases are singles. Others are ready to catch and shoot. This is also okay.
Compared with other core point guards with concentrated ball rights, the biggest difference between Nash is that if necessary, he is willing to hand over the ball, which is also the key to his ability to lead the team to the Western Conference many times!
Let the MVP, who is at its peak, be a pitcher. Except for the Hawks and Spurs, there is now a third team doing this!
For the control of open shots, superstars who are good at shooting are definitely more confident than role players who are good at shooting.
Although the Suns have a defensive double pit guard because of Calderon and Nash, their defense is very poor, but their positional attack is very good under Calderon's organization!
Especially Calderon and Josh Smith's outside pick-and-roll cooperation, it is simply the slow version of Liu Mang and the fast version of Kwame Brown pick-and-roll cooperation!
Liu Mang has a big head!
With the Suns ’point guards, Liu Mang seems to have an impression. It seems that the future Zhu Huoledi and Rondo play under Gentry, but from the defensive type to the offensive type ...
It seems that Rondo and Zhu Huoledi's combination of double point guards is not bad. At that time, Rondo has been able to make a three-pointer per game ...
In addition, Gentry ’s double point guard tactics were too much for the inside. O’Neal played less than 8 minutes in the second quarter and scored 9 points. In the first half of the third quarter, the Eagles tried Speed ​​up, but was stopped by the combination of card sharks.
The point difference has been hanging in the early fifths.
In the third quarter, the official timeout, the Eagles trailed the Suns 6 points 71 to 77.
Moreover, after Liu Mang rushed into the basket to bypass the physical decline and could not resist the basket, O'Neill made a layup and narrowed the point difference to 6 points, the Suns called a timeout.
That is, after the official suspension comes back, it is the Suns' right to the ball!
Pause back.
O'Neill was tired, and it may be necessary for him to play a crucial moment. Coach Gentry replaced him and Calderon and replaced Nash, Barbosa, Lagabell, Josh Smith and Dior.
The hardest part of the Hawks this season is the substitutes of those strong teams. All the players who have already formed the technology have joined the thighs. The Hawks have not received high-quality veterans this season like the previous three championships. I can't look down on it, I can only cultivate it myself.
Seeing Calderon, O'Neill, James Jones, Barbosa, and Tim Thomas in the second team, they can only envy while continuing to send Liu Mang, McGrady, Battier, Granger, Marion's line-up.
Kwame Brown played tired enough today, except for a four-minute break in the second quarter, almost no rest.
The Suns attacked, Nash received the ball from the frontcourt, met McGrady's defense, and Liu Mang followed Barbosa to the left side of the basket.
They are all five small lineups. There is no real center. After Nash and Josh Smith screened, McGrady and Granger changed defense. Nash did not get a good breakthrough opportunity and pass opportunity. .
After Dior received the ball, Barbosa on the left bottom line cut in. When Liu Mang followed, he heard the system prompt!
"Josh Smith ..."
Liu Mang immediately changed direction, and Josh Smith cut into the middle of the road and blocked it.
As soon as Josh Smith received the ball from the free throw line, Liu Mang was blocked in place!
"Ding ... Feature: Triggered by the rejection of horses, with a rate of more than 30% successfully predicted."
Liu Mang changed his defense here and Granger snuggled into the basket, but then Josh Smith passed the ball to the corner!
Barbosa ran halfway and saw Josh Smith cut into the corner and withdrew the corner. Josh Smith received the ball and passed it to Barbosa. Barbosa made a free 3-point shot ...
It's so risky not to enter! Liu Mang grabbed a defensive rebound.
This is a big gap!
Three passes by the Suns easily created a three-pointer.
The current lineup of the two teams is undoubtedly stronger in terms of personal strength.
However, running away can smooth out many disadvantages!
Running is similar to the future small ball, the role is fixed, the player does not need to be proficient in too many skills, will shoot three points and will run on the line, and the Suns are more extreme in the small ball than the future Warriors, they do not even Need to defend ...
Dior's passing scared the Hawks here, especially Liu Mang, he predicted the Dior's pass, but ... Dior's high-level response is more than just a pass!
The feature of rejecting horses is easy to use and easy to use, but it still needs time to accumulate experience. The last anti-Milicic effect was very good, but from experience, Milicic is still very tender, and Milicic just turned 21 in summer. Talent has been developed through the three years of patience and development of the Raptors, but they have not yet reached the peak. This year they have just begun to win and are still accumulating experience in winning.
Milicic judged a pass. Relatively speaking, with the feature of refusing horses, it would be better to guard at this stage. You only need to judge him for a pass. His organizational offense has not yet calculated so many steps.
But the real high-level response masters, such as Double 21 and Gasol are not the same. Their organization of the offense is not just thinking about the results after the first pass, they are considering the whole team offensive.
Although Dior is not as old, but in this respect, he is better than Milicic, and Milicic has a good physical talent, but Dior technology is better, especially his high-level response, if not because of him. Not enough self-discipline, like O'Neill and Barkley, like the lifestyle of eating Hess, he can get better!
Liu Mang thought that with the feature of refusing horses, he would be able to deal with these high-level organization masters, and now he found that it was not that simple!
Still need Liu Mang's own experience accumulation, and the accumulation of team defensive command experience.
But this feature is really good. It can only be predicted that the opponent's pass will have the opportunity to defend more.
When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt.
71 to 77 ...
6 points behind, Liu Mang is used to this situation, just do it!
After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he went directly to McGrady for pick-and-roll. McGrady just tossed from the left to the right to open the space at a 45-degree angle, and immediately came up to block Liu Mang's left.
Seeing this scene, Marion immediately greeted Granger to the inside.
McGrady came up to help Liu Mang to block Lagabell. Liu Mang moved to the left and around the pick-and-roll. When the Barbosa defense came up, he jumped!
"Ding ... Aerial Magician Level 5 Trigger ..."
Lagabel and Barbosa saw Liu Mang take off, believing that Liu Mang was about to make waves, and rushed towards Liu Mang. Liu Mang pulled the ball back in the air and threw it from the back to the right side of the top arc.
Lagabel and Barbosa were cheated by Liu Mang, and McGrady rushed to the right at a 45-degree angle immediately after the pick and roll. When the ball was about to go out of bounds, he received the ball and turned the three-point shot ...
Hit!
74 to 77, the point difference is reduced to 3 points!
The Suns 'pick-and-roll encounter met McGrady and Granger's defensive play poorly. It took a lot of effort from the high position to get the opener to get a three-point opportunity without a shot. The Eagles' simple two-player team in the top arc was shot. A three-pointer!
7-8 assists, Liu Mang is one behind Nash! Three 3-pointers trailed by 13 behind nine.
However, the point difference has narrowed to three points!
Successfully narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points!
When the Suns attacked, Nash and Josh Smith's pick-and-roll cooperation was restrained by the Eagles 'five small infinite defenses. This is the Eagles' planned tactics against the Suns. This is a good defense, but Dior's high response Liu Mang was so exhausted that he only allowed the Suns to pass one or two more passes.
Nash received a short-range horseback archery jumper after receiving a shot from Barbosa. Marion didn't dare to change his defense in the past. Pressing it up was a foul. Nash scored two points from a close-up jumper.
It's still 5 points.
The Hawks attacked, the Suns were very afraid of Liu Mang and McGrady's pick-and-roll. McGrady ran to the right after the pick-and-roll. Lagabel went to chase McGrady. Barbosa's defense was difficult to prevent Liu Mang's direct shot, even if Liu Mang only got 16 points and 7 assists after nearly three quarters today. They only scored two three-pointers. They dared not let go of Liu Mang.
So, this time Liu Mang and McGrady pick and roll, Nash at the bottom corner defense Battier chased up to McGrady's receiving line. When McGrady received the ball, Nash was already blocked in place, and McGrady passed the ball to the corner. Battier, Battier catches a three-pointer ...
Also entered!
The feel of the Eagles players is up!
On the contrary, the Suns feel good on the other side. When the Suns attacked, Barbosa did not miss the opportunity this time, and the bottom corner hit the ball!
It is a pity for the Suns that Barbosa stepped on the three-point line when he took a long jump shot, so it was only a two-pointer.
81 to 77, the Suns are 4 points ahead!
The next time in the third quarter, the Hawks played a simple and rude side. Offensive Liu Mang and McGrady's outside pick-and-roll cooperation. McGrady had a chance to cut in, and if he had a chance, he opened a three-pointer. With three outside defenses, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady can both pass the ball. If the opponent uses a Marion-proof player to pull out the defense, Marion's empty-cut dunk will also fly.
On the defensive end, the Hawks ’five-lineup defense is very good. The restrictions on the outside and the basket of the Suns are slightly larger. Although they are not too restrictive, they have at least some functions that force the Suns to use more Nash. Mid-range shooting with Barbosa is the main scoring method.
Especially as the rhythm is getting faster and faster, neither side can stop anyone. The Hawks only scored 14 points in the first half, and the Suns only scored 12 points. However, O’Neal and Calderon were slow in the second half. After the guy went down, the two teams scored soaring!
24 to 20, the Hawks played a fierce confrontation with the Suns in the second half of the third quarter!
In the third quarter, the Hawks and Suns played a horrible 38-32 single quarter score!
This score is very common after ten years, but at this time, even if the league rhythm has not been greatly improved because of Liu Mang, it is still exaggerated ~ EbookFREE.me ~ than 97, after three quarters, the Hawks are behind. Reduced to two points!
The key fourth quarter!
The difference between the two points can basically be regarded as no, and the two teams return to the same starting point.
During the break, the Hawks are fiercely discussing the fourth quarter.
If the Hawks send two of the three Hawks, plus Kwame Brown and Marion, Prince or Granger, Battier, even if the Suns send the strongest lineup, the Hawks still have a certain strength advantage.
But the problem is physical fitness!
Liu Mang is no problem, McGrady and Kwame Brown can play long enough, Jason Terry and Marion are okay, both are within control.
The biggest disadvantage of the Hawks vs. Suns is not the number of stars, but the Suns have two very sharp lineups.
Although the Suns haven't reached the extreme in terms of tactics, there is still room for improvement. For example, the rhythm control when switching lineups, there is still a problem at the beginning, so that the Eagles have the opportunity to chase points, but it is still very powerful.
The most terrible thing is that there is room for improvement!
When they improved the tactics of Nash plus Josh Smith plus Dior, Calderon plus O'Neill, the Suns were terrible!
Liu Mang remembered that this season was the strongest in the Suns' playoffs. He almost killed the championship spurs of the season. He thought O'Neal went to their collapse. Who knew that Gentry was actually playing, stunned. It was the situation that was brought back and it performed so well!
From the overall point of view, this is very good for the Hawks. A strong Suns will inevitably bring huge torture to the Lakers and Spurs ...
But Liu Mang's main goal now is to win this game!
Everything else is behind, the Hawks are 17 wins and 9 losses, the Heat are 18 wins and 12 losses, lost to the Suns, it is necessary to be evenly matched by the Heat!
