: 819. It's that simple to fall in love with 1 team

"A player who can send the ball to Yao's hands will not work!" Van Gundy's head is big!
After the official suspension in the first quarter, the Rockets replaced Yao Ming for rest. While Yao Ming was there, he could still contain the Hawks' oppressive defense from the inside.
After Yao Ming got off the court, the Rockets couldn't help it.
Not in the plan before the game!
Van Gundy and Thibodeau, who want to rely on Yao Ming's positional rim protection and low-post singles against the Hawks, are all prepared to play around Yao Ming, but they are completely useless!
Who would have thought that the last time the Hawks were still playing against the Heat, this game suddenly became as unrestrained as the Suns?
The point is that there is still a fast-paced offensive and defensive transition of defense. It is not just for quick and fast, as much as possible to defend. It is the request of coach Kruger and Mike Woodson, playing like the Suns, let alone the coach does not accept Even if Liu Mang said the flower, McGrady wouldn't take it.
It may be that the Rockets, apart from dual-core, are indeed too bad, allowing the Hawks to give play to their strongest strength, physical quality, for the first time after the start of the season.
The previous single defense, joint defense, singles, pick-and-roll, and offensive rebounds of the positional battles were not able to fully exert the athleticism of the Hawks. After changing a style of play, the maximum "return" was obtained. Not an advantage in scores, but to give play to the advantage of athletic ability!
The Hawks 15 roster, except for Korver, Calderon, Valejo, Kevin Willis, all other players can run, jump and defend!
Coach Kruger thought it was just Liu Mang's whim, and wanted to change the easy way of playing in the regular season. Unexpectedly, he really gave all the enthusiasm of the players, and also played a sport that has never been found to be released. The ability is used!
And this is not to say that Calderon and Korver are useless, but because the advantages of other people's athleticism are exerted. Korver's three-point reception, Calderon's three-point reception and third pass Or the second pass is even better!
McGrady is not like a No. 1 player who just passed out and only wanted to assist. He was replaced by Liu Mang and took himself to take Calderon with Jason Terry, Josh Smith, Rashid Wallace When playing together, seeing Calderon's second or third pass is selfless and the pass accuracy is very high. It can use the opportunity of teammates to tear the opponent's defense and decisively create more opportunities for Calderon.
After the first quarter, the score was 33-14 by the Hawks, leading by 19 points in a single quarter!
In the second quarter, when Yao Ming came on the court, the Hawks' defense was tighter against Yao Ming. The Rockets did not have a good pick-and-roll player. Whether it was Yao Ming, Jim Jackson, or Richard Jefferson, it was the pick-and-roll. People, not people who use pick-and-rolls, Bob Sula does n’t have that ability, their backup point guard is Charlie Ward ... 34 years old, retiring, Joan Barry, a catcher ...
When Yao Ming was off the court, there wasn't a good backup center. When Yao Ming was on the court, no one could pass him. The point guard couldn't do it, neither could the power forward pass inside.
Both of these points were targeted by the Eagles.
And Van Gundy planned a strategy for dealing with the Eagles for a month, and the Eagles changed their style of play and made it useless!
Neither the strategy against the Hawks nor the strategy against the Hawks on the offensive end is of any use!
At the end of the half, the Hawks scored 71 to 45.
It's not that the Rockets have scored a lot worse in the second quarter. They scored 31 points in a single quarter because the pace was too fast! The number of shots increased a lot, they could suppress the rhythm in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, McGrady became more familiar with the game, sending 7 assists in a single quarter to completely defeat the rhythm of the unprepared Rockets and entered the Hawks. The rhythm you want!
Four assists in the first quarter, seven assists in the second quarter, eleven assists at halftime! McGrady slaps and enters the state!
Seeing the situation at hand was totally unpredictable, and he could n’t even think of a coping strategy. Van Gundy vowed that if he was given to him for half a month, he would definitely think of a way to deal with the Hawks. At least a tie is still possible, after all, here It is away, the Rockets have an advantage, the more they meet the devil away, the more they have an advantage.
But now he can't think of it for a while! He really wanted to make a phone call and ask his brother if he had prepared a small note just to deal with the Eagles ...
However, not only did Van Gundy want to cry alone, but there was also someone on the Eagles who wanted to cry.
After halftime, Liu Mang still scored the most for the Hawks. Not because he did n’t want to pass the ball, but McGrady was addicted to passing the ball. Finally, he encountered a headless team like the Rockets and hit the defensive counterattack. Flying up, Tracy McGrady fell in love with the pass and did not give Liu Mang the dribble. Liu Mang only needed his temporary "engine" feature to drive the rhythm of his teammates. Tracy McGrady snatched the ball and organized the attack. In the second quarter, he was responsible for shooting ...
The Hawks scored 38 points in the second quarter, and Liu Mang scored 20 points in 7 of 13 ...
However, Liu Mang was looking forward to the number of assists, two in the first quarter and one in the second quarter ...
...
26 points behind halftime, the Rockets struggled a bit in the third quarter, but the points difference expanded to 33 points. After three quarters, the Hawks 101 to 68 lead 33 points, Rockets players do not want to struggle.
What a fart!
Because as long as Yao Ming went up, he was targeted, and the Rockets did not have a good on-the-spot command, nor did they think of a way to make a halftime break. They had prepared for a month before. Who could think of the Eagles changing? They even thought about the various changes in the Eagles' positional battle, how they should deal with it, but they never thought the Eagles would play like this!
Yao Ming played only 7 shots in 25 minutes in a miserable three quarters. He scored 10 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks on 4 of 7 shots ...
In the third quarter, Liu Mang refused to pass the ball when he received the ball. While condemning the four quarterbacks as bad guys, he threw it when he received the ball. He quickly invested in his first scoring choice in the tactical plan and actively ran. Bit thrown.
If you do n’t get the assist, you can score!
6 points in the first quarter, 20 points in the second quarter, and 18 points in the third quarter. Taking advantage of the Rockets' aggressive offense and defense, they didn't know how to play. Liu Mang made 15 of 27 shots in the third quarter, 7 of 11 three-pointers, and 8 free throws. In 7, scored 44 points!
McGrady sent three assists in the third quarter, mainly because a player was too independent, and he did it regardless of taking the ball, making him want to try to impact 15+ assists or even 20 assists in a single game. .
However, 14 assists in a single quarter still refreshed McGrady's personal record of 13 assists in a single game! With 14 points, 14 assists and 3 rebounds, Tracy McGrady became more and more fascinated in organizing the offense.
Without getting 15 assists, what else could McGrady do? He could only choose to forgive the bad boy.
In the fourth quarter, both Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady were replaced and the Rockets did not struggle anymore. Jason Terry took Iguodala, Korver, Josh Smith and Valejo to the big shot.
In the end, the Eagles scored 129 to 93, 36 points difference, slaughter the Rockets crazy!
Liu Mang looked at his data, 44 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and felt that the world was too strange: the young man was ready to brush up assists. How did it become a brush score?
Not scientific!
Guiding Yu Jia and Zhang, who livestreamed the game, have been speechless for a long time.
Okay, the battle of the three big stars in the 01th?
Okay, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady scored against the MJ combination?
Today Yao Ming had 10 points and 6 rebounds, and Richard Jefferson had 16 points. The Rockets are completely in disorder and tactics. It feels like they are not ready for the game.
"Not prepared", this is Zhang Gui's most important words in the commentary to maintain the Rockets' face.
If Van Gundy knew what Zhang had said, he would definitely go to the toilet and cry: "I'm not unprepared! I just prepared too much, and I can't adjust my strategy to deal with the Suns!"
...
...
129 points in a single game!
The Hawks set a new 127-point single-game scoring record for the Suns when the Suns played the Nuggets in the second game of the season!
The Rockets scored 93 points. In fact, there is nothing too unexpected. After the Rockets averaged this season and they have almost stabilized, they have 96 points. 93 points is normal.
But the process of getting so many scores is not normal, the shooting rate is too low, 97 shots only hit 33 goals, the shooting rate is almost 35%!
And their average number of shots per game so far this season is 80, which means that the pace has been accelerated by nearly 25%!
This is unacceptable for a Rockets team based on Yao Ming and Richard Jefferson's defense.
Because the Hawks shot 51 shots on 101 shots, the team's field goal percentage exceeded 50%, and the Rockets have restricted opponents to 42% so far this season, ranking sixth in the league, but let the Hawks With such a high number of shots, the team made more than 50% of its field goal attempts and made 15 three-pointers in a single game. The key is to only allow the Hawks to get 17 free throws, which means that the defensive end has little pressure Sex.
That is, the Rockets were beaten by the Hawks!
This is the famous Houston Fifth Five-Year Team! Especially the Rockets of the away dragon!
However, what surprised people the most was that even the Hawks started to run away.
The defending champion is going to run away!
Liu Mang tried to set off a small ball storm, but other teams did not agree. From the beginning, there were more doubts than the Warriors started the small ball storm from the beginning.
The main thing is that the current environment, there are so many teams with strong insiders, who will run to play small with the Hawks ...
...
In the United States, the responses of doubt and surprise are predominant.
Domestically, because the Suns haven't even received a live broadcast from China, who knew that the Suns would play so well before the season, the impression of them is only high scores.
The gorgeous offense played by the Hawks in this game has made domestic fans see the blood.
The reason why the Suns miss so many people is because their love for offense is not a pure love, but it is regarded as a belief. This is the belief of D'Antoni, and the belief of the Suns players, and even fell in love. Their fans are also regarded as faith.
However, the Suns gave Liu Mang the idea of ​​lifting the small ball era. Although he was questioned at the beginning, as the first team to start a small ball storm in the country, the Hawks had won the championship and played 70 wins. It didn't cause such a big response, but this time, there were many more supporters.
Sometimes, it ’s that simple to attract fans. Maybe watching a Jordan fall in the air as if leaning against the wall like a leaning back jumper and falling in love with Jordan, or maybe because McGrady despised all the so-called talented players ’freehand jumpers and fell in love with McGrady. Maybe Kobe fell in love with Kobe ’s arrogance that the fan ’s second and first in the world had died ... This time, because of the eagle ’s unrestrained play, it was a game that made the audience ’s ratings on the court sports. The festival climbed, and the average ratings of this game reached 3 percentage points! Taken together, the number of fans who have watched this game for more than a period of time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com preliminary statistics exceeded 40 million!
Many of them fell in love with the Eagles because of this game, for no other reason!
...
On the Eagles side, Liu Mang is the easiest to get up to, but Liu Mang is the most calm after the game. He knows that it is too rare to play the Rockets. He did not expect that he would throw the ball so smoothly. The tactics are played out.
The more so, the more cautious it is.
After accepting the interview with the court platform, Liu Mang returned to the locker room and was excited to see how the players were preparing to play in New York tomorrow.
No way, except for Liu Mang's 44 points, the others got a total of 85 points, and everyone played too cool.
Liu Mang hummed: "Kang busy, don't be too happy, we haven't really played the tactics yet!"
"Yes, boss, we know that you won't grab a shot with you, but don't try to grab me for an assist!" McGrady quipped.
"..." Liu Mang grieved when he heard this, but he couldn't say anything. Today, he threw 27 times and made 15 of them. To a large extent, it was the credit of the whole team. He finally enjoyed that his teammates could take him to defend him. The chance to shoot easily.
Said the good guy teaches you to play the ball!
Liu Mang began to look at Maddie in a grudge.
But McGrady's interruption was originally awkward because of Liu Mang's words, and he became active again, all laughing.
Liu Mang also understood the meaning of McGrady at this time, don't attack the enthusiasm of his teammates, Liu Mang also felt a bit self-conscious, too calm.
The teammates worked so hard, and they were immediately rewarded. It is normal to be happy.
Nodding toward McGrady, Liu Mang went to the bathroom, preparing to find a place to draw a circle to curse this assisted ...
