Chapter 387: In the first round of the playoffs, against the Hawks

The 2014-2015 season of the Eagles is actually the strongest eagle in recent years.
Without Wang Xiao’s butterfly effect, the Hawks should top the Eastern Conference with a 60-22 record this season, and pass through the playoffs to reach the Eastern Conference finals.
But due to the birth of Wang Chao Wizards and the Super Four Cavaliers, the Hawks lost a lot of games this season should not have lost, so that the record plummeted, and even fell out of the first half of the division.
Wang Xiao didn't dare to look down on this team.
The Hawks are like the Spurs in the West. No player in the team scored more than 20. The highest average score is Paul Millsap with 16.7 points per game.
The average score means that there is no scoring point that can be targeted for containment, and the most difficult thing for the Hawks to deal with is to balance the offense and defense of the Spurs.
...
Of course, this refers to the previous Bucks.
After the trade deadline, the Bucks got Korver, the three-point shooter will be a weapon against the Hawks!
In addition, the Bucks have a secret weapon against the Hawks, that is center Nikola Jokic.
The most feared part of the joint defense is a precise long-range shooter. The other is a big man who can be inside and out, and has a wide field of vision.
These two, the current Bucks have, even the long-range shooter Kyle Korver traded from the Hawks.
To be honest, even Wang Xiao did not expect that Korver, who was traded from the Eagles on the trade deadline, would become the sharpest weapon against the Eagles in the playoffs.
Budenholzer, the Spurs head coach Popovich, created a perfect offensive and defensive system for the Hawks, greatly increasing the team's upper limit.
If you want to find opportunities in the Hawks' more perfect system, you have to rely on the players.
...
On April 18, the first round of the playoffs officially began.
Due to record factors, the first game was played at the Bradley Center, home of the Bucks.
The Bucks' starting five tigers are point guard Victor Oladipo, point guard Kyle Korver, small forward Chris Middleton, power forward Janis Adokumbo, center Nikola Jokic.
The starting lineup for the Hawks is point guard Jeff Teague, point guard Kent Bezmore, small forward DeMarre Carroll, power forward Paul Millsap, and center Al Horford.
Knight and Mayo, both players from the Bucks on the trade deadline, are sitting on the bench.
Wang Xiao understands why the Hawks coach Budenholzer arranged this way. Knight and Mayo are not excellent defensive players. Compared with the starting lineup, they enhanced the offensive firepower, arranged them on the bench and grabbed points, while ensuring the starting lineup. The lineup's defensive strength will be better.
The players from both sides jumped in midfield. Jokic, who is 2.13 meters, is almost the same as Horford, who is 2.08 meters. They are both very poor types. The two are almost evenly matched, but with a slightly higher height, Jokki Qi is still the first to put the basketball to his side.
Oladipo received the basketball, steadily controlled the ball through the half and looked up at the Hawks' defensive formation.
"Sure enough, as the coach said."
In front of Oladipo, the Hawks are posing a set of pseudo-defense positions.
The so-called false joint defense is a joint defense method in response to the birth of the league's 3-second rule. After all, the NBA center cannot stand in the basket like the international league.

This kind of defensive position, the defensive breakthrough is quite good, and it will form two-fold one or even three-fold one at any time. Once the situation of the double-team is formed, it is difficult for ordinary players to divide the ball from the crowd.
Of course, this refers to ordinary players.
Oladipo raised his hand slightly, and Jokic, who had just entered the inside line, grasped it and immediately pulled it out for Oladipo to pick and roll.
After the pick-and-roll, Oladipo did not immediately rush into the inside, but instead passed the ball back to Jokic.
After the pick-and-roll, Jokic took two steps inwards. When catching the ball, it was just right or left of the free throw line.
Seeing this scene, Budenholzer couldn't help but jumped.
Centers respond...
In the regular season, Jokic showed a good ability to respond. The 4.6 assists in the entire regular season also fully proved his ability to assist his teammates in scoring.
but……
With his hands raised high, Jokic, who seemed to be watching his teammates' position, suddenly jumped in place and took a shot.
The Eagles standing not far in front of him didn't have time to react, watched the basketball shot, watched an arc in the air and then fell into the basket.
"Two-point goal works!"
Jokic is not a traditional insider. Since entering the league in another world, his three-point shooting has never been below 30%, and even one season with a 39% three-point shooting regular season Hit 100+ three-pointers.
And his 82% free throw percentage is his best at shooting at the free throw line!
"Did you forget? The opponent has the ability to shoot long and medium distance! Concentrate!"
Budenholzer shouted a few words on the sidelines, but his heart was a little uneasy.
For this opponent, Budenholzer has already analyzed.
The opponent's offensive tactics are very simple, that is, small ball tactics and simple block and cut cooperation, defense is more often rely on the player's personal ability one-on-one single defense, if someone is out of position, it will make the mobile ability strong, the defensive area is played Letter brother Adetokounmpo defended.
It can be said that the reason why the Bucks can win depends more on the player's personal ability than the tactical system.
The best way to deal with such a team is to contain the opponent's offensive rhythm, that is, to limit the starting point of the opponent's offense.
Budenholzer has seen a lot of Bucks game videos, and understands that the two main points the Bucks launched the offensive are Oladipo and Adetokounmpo, and both are mainly based on breakthroughs. Player, so he will let the player use the joint defense to limit the opponent's breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the opponent came up, he actually offered a move from the center to respond.
In the regular season, Jokic rarely played like this, but in daily training, Wang Xiao often let him practice these, which also makes Jokic handy when used, without any strangeness.
Relying on this hand, the Wizards took the lead at the beginning of the game.
In the face of Jokic's strategy of holding the ball in the middle, the Hawks seemed at a loss, not staring at him, probably a jumper at the free throw line, staring at him, too far away from the inside line, when Ah When Detocumbone cut, no one had the time to return to defense, after all, the guy's pace was too big and too fast!
Within 2 minutes of the start of the game, the Bucks had played four consecutive offensive attempts, took a free throw, and directly hit the Hawks with a 10:2, forcing Budenholzer to call out a timeout.
