: 568. Even more tragic is yet to come

McGrady embarked on the opener with great longing for the new season, confidence with more powerful teammates, and fighting spirit to prove that he can do it all by himself, and then played less than half a quarter. Found out ... what the is this team of people?
Well-spoken Mr. Zhu Wan-Howard? Said good cry-proof Iverson's defensive vanguard Tyron Lu? Say good defensive gate De Shawn Stevenson?
Not only was Juwan Howard defended offensively by Rashid Wallace, but when it was officially suspended, Liu Mang and Ratliff and Rahim were off the court. The Hawks replaced Stockton, Jason Terry, After the lineup of Prince, Boozer, and Rashid Wallace, Stockton and Boozer's pick-and-roll took Juwan Howard to death, and Juwan Howard changed to center, Rashi De Wallace's performance time is up.
Stockton clearly understands the strength of Rasheed Wallace's low singles. This is an authentic technical flow inside. It is much easier than Rahim's singles power forward. He has played several times in a row. Facing Zhu Wan-Howard's buckle, Zhu Wan-Howard was beaten in doubt.
Kwame Brown, the popular champion, replaced Rashid Wallace and could prevent Juwan Howard from continuously hitting iron. While playing, McGrady found that his most reliable teammate was actually the rookie he didn't look at last season, now the second grade Drew Gooden! Other signings are nonsense!
This year's Magic is destined to be tragic. Hill continues to be injured. He has introduced so many role players at a large price. The salary has exploded. The key is that these players are mostly out of honour, especially Mr. Zhu Wan Howard, who is a billionaire. Jordan, the first player in history to earn an annual salary of 10 million, had satirized him with more than 3 million and a 72-win record.
Tracy McGrady was forced to turn on his personal offensive mode again, but first of all, the Hawks ’inner defense was terrible. The outsiders, Rahim and Prince, two tall and long-armed guys, especially Prince, actually had better defensive skills than Rahim. Well, Rahim relied on impact, Prince skill flow, McGrady just adapted to Rahim's defense, Prince came again.
Not only that, the gap between teammates and the first half of last season is also obvious. Last year, the Magic was once fourth in the east, relying on Mike Miller and other outstanding three-point masters. Although Tylene Lu is accurate in three points, But he played with Kobe Bryant and Jordan. He dribbled over the corner of the half and waited to shoot. How could there be so many running positions? The Magic's record in the second half of last season collapsed, largely because Mike Miller was traded away.
It ’s actually simple to partner with McGrady, either with a pitcher like Mike Miller, or with an inside strong point, or simply do n’t let McGrady be the core, Hill ’s health is good, McGrady and Carter play when they are combined. It's good.
But the Magic do not have anything. It seems that the lineup is more luxurious than last year, but in fact it is not at all. There is no one who can score inside. Juwan Howard is crying because of Rashid Wallace. In other words, Gooden occasionally cast one, which was not reliable at all.
Outside Tyronn Lue or Rod Strickland and De Shawn Stevenson who came off the bench, anyway, open shots can also contain an opponent's defensive player, and that rookie Gaines, simply let McGrady also To cry, a 1.98-meter shooting guard faced Jason Terry was continuously stealing!
Tracy McGrady was defended by the wheel fight, his teammates could not help at all, so Tracy McGrady could not even take care of his offense.
In turn, the Hawks have clear goals, and the ball rights are concentrated in Liu Mang; Stockton and Boozer; Jason Terry or the combination of these three players, with the defense as the core, each change is controlled The Hawks play differently.
When Liu Mang was there, the triangle offensive position was specifically used to play Tyron Lu. When it was replaced by McGrady, Liu Mang pulled out to pick and roll.
When it was in Stockton, it was mainly pick and roll offense.
Jason Terry is happy to vote with everyone, anyway, just keep it off.
From the beginning, Maddie was full of confidence, and later on his teammates 'doubts, and then to his teammates' despair. He made 14 of 37 shots and 38 percent of his field goal percentages. He scored 38 points in three quarters.
But McGrady's hit was actually the highest in the Magic team, except for De Shawn Stevenson who had the least shots. The Magic team's hit rate was only 35 percent! By the end of the third quarter, the Hawks had led 89-55 with 34 points!
That is, in addition to McGrady, the others only added up to 17 points!
...
Liu Mang watched McGrady's enthusiasm from the beginning of the game, and sat in the bench blankly in the fourth quarter, grieving for McGrady for a few seconds, and then ignored McGrady, cheering for his teammates.
Liu Mang was originally not optimistic about the Magic this year. The Magic ’s management recruitment has always been so inexplicable. Guden was originally a blue collar who would shoot and rebound, and the shooting was not allowed. The defense is still poor, and now we have a Mr. Yuan who has proved to be quite valuable.
Putting aside Juwan Howard will only abuse the back of the dish. The rebound is average, the mid-range shooting is fairly accurate, and the defense is basically equal to a black hole. This is basically no different from another Gourdon.
In the summer, I do n’t want to fight for Kassel with money. I want to pursue Van Horn anyway. I have to have the ability to attack the inside. However, the magic is not the opposite, only the reputation.
The Magic have big goals this year, but the disappointing end is doomed.
So Liu Mang does n’t want to comfort Tracy McGrady, is it possible to run and say ... this is the beginning of your misery this season? There will be more tragic things waiting for you later?
Stockton took Boozer up in the last quarter to continue "run-in", and took Korver, Calderon, and Kwame Brown to practice his new teammates, mainly by taking a few more assists.
Since they have to fight for another year, unfortunately they did not reach 16,000 assists last year. Stockton is going to refresh his record this year, and the gap between the total number of assists and the Magician will be more than 6,000. Although assists per game can't do the magician, but the total number of assists, Stockton wants to throw the magician far.
However, although he hasn't gotten up to brush up assists, Stockton allows his teammates not to defend so tightly, it's enough to play a counterattack and save face for the opponent.
In the end, the Hawks slaughtered the Magic 118 to 90 and won their first win of the season.
Liu Mang played 19 minutes, easily scored 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists on 8 of 13 shots. The score was already the highest for the Hawks. The Hawks had 8 people to score in double figures. In the second half, the Magic are still struggling in addition to McGrady. In fact, there is no ability to resist, and 11 of the 12 players on the Hawks' activation list have appeared.
The second-highest scorer was Jason Terry, who scored 18 points.
In terms of assists, in addition to Stockton's 8 assists, the second highest is actually 6 assists by Raheem!
Ratliff didn't play very long, only 14 minutes, and did not play in the second half, otherwise with the strength of the Magic team, the Hawks do their best to defend, and the difference may be even more terrible after three quarters.
Raheem scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, and Rasheed Wallace scored 13 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The energy of the two was concentrated on defense and passing. The offensive end was mainly to open up space for long shots , Announced to people their positioning in the new season, but also to give teammates a stimulant.
They don't care about the data, just to win!
Especially Rashid Wallace, he wants to prove that he can control his temper, and he is not without defense! It's just that he can't care about the offense when defending. In the Blazers, he just can't help as the first scoring point. If his teammates can score, he concentrates his energy on the defensive end and the defense is also very strong!
...
...
The Eagles opened the game with dominance, a beautiful team defense, and a more aggressive offense than last season.
The Hawks ’first goal was to break people ’s doubts, so they went all out from the beginning, especially after Mike Woodson saw Rashid Wallace ’s unexpectedly good single defense effect. The trio of frontcourts were turned into iron bucket arrays.
Mainly Prince, Rahim, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Others have enough experience but relatively weak Muhammad, talented but experienced ability Kwame Brown, who is still lacking, can only become a substitute.
The Hawks tried to put Prince and Rahim in turn at the small forward position, which had an excellent defensive effect on McGrady. This made Mike Woodson have a new idea for the team's defensive system. Experiment and choose slowly in the next game.
The Hawks don't worry about not being able to make the playoffs. This is still very confident, so there are many games in the regular season that can be used to experiment with the strengthening of the defense system, such as the second half of the game with the Magic.
The first team slaughtered the Magic with 28 points, and the Hawks really surprised people!
Especially Juwan Howard's 1 of 15 shots in the game, which is a refreshing view of the people. Most of the time, Juwan Howard was defended by Rashid Wallace, and Juwan Howard was defended third. Don't dare to shoot in the second half of the festival.
For a time, the media changed from singing the declining Eagles to praise this signing, especially Rashid Wallace ’s four fouls were punished by the referee habitually, but Rashid -Wallace didn't spread his anger on the complaint, but on Juwan Howard.
Mainly Rashid Wallace ’s defense is so surprising, it feels completely different!
48 hours after the Hawks' opener victory over the Magic, public opinion teammates are very friendly. Except for some people doubting how long Rashid Wallace's defensive perseverance and patience can be maintained, most people are against the Hawks. This time the team recruited some different views than before.
But the time this public opinion was friendly to the Hawks was only less than 48 hours ... and the change in public opinion has nothing to do with the Hawks ...
