With Rasheed Wallace roaring, the game begins!

Rasheed Wallace won the jump ball over Jason Collins.

The Eagles attacked first, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Kidd defended.

There is no option to attack hard, and sitting in the low post is not a good option. Now the Nets have Jason Collins, a person who can resist Rasheed Wallace in the low post. The Nets have already found the high and low in the last game.

The position rotation defense method was used to guard against Liu Mang and Raheem, so Liu Mang followed the tactics arranged by the coaching staff before the game and waved Rasheed Wallace to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Rasheed Wallace brought Kenyon Martin out to block Kidd. Kidd immediately blocked Rasheed Wallace and gave Kenyon Martin the task of guarding Liu Mang. He first blocked Liu Mang.

In the passing route between Mang and Rasheed Wallace, Kenyon Martin also pressed forward. Kidd and Kenyon Martin cooperated to block the two Eagles in the top arc and compress Liu Mang's pick-and-roll.

room for advancement later.

As expected of Kidd, who is probably the best at guarding pick-and-rolls among point guards, and Kenyon Martin, who is very good at guarding pick-and-rolls at power forward. After the last game, the two of them had a clearer way to deal with the Hawks' pick-and-roll offense.

.

This came a bit fiercely. Liu Mang didn't go around Rasheed Wallace, Kidd immediately blocked him back, went around, Kenyon Martin blocked behind Rasheed Wallace, Rasheed Wallace

Shiqie can’t even cut it!

At this moment, Liu Mang had a flash of inspiration, stuffed the ball into Rasheed Wallace's hands, and then cut into the basket with his bare hands, leaving Kidd behind. Rasheed Wallace also reacted very quickly.

Quickly, he immediately hoisted the ball into the paint. Liu Mang got rid of the defense, received the ball and rushed to the basket. Ratliff clamped down on Jason Collins, and Liu Mang easily made a layup and scored two points.

The cooperation between Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace has become more and more tacit. Sometimes it is not just the juniors who learn from the seniors. After Rasheed Wallace came to the Eagles, he worked with Boozer, who has a natural pick-and-roll sense.

The junior has learned a lot of pick-and-roll skills. He may not have the innate pick-and-roll sense of Boozer, but Rasheed Wallace is willing to study hard and understand many of Liu Mang's habits. This time he and Liu Mang

In the pick-and-roll cooperation, Rasheed Wallace was very focused on Liu Mang's every move and tried to make the best choice.

He doesn't have Boozer's pick-and-roll talent, but Rasheed Wallace works hard enough. This seems to be Liu Mang's first real pick-and-roll cooperation with Rasheed Wallace in a game, and his judgment is

Temporary, looks great.

Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace high-fived each other in celebration and immediately returned to defense.

Kidd watched the Hawks once again play a different offensive routine, playing out the one Stockton and Boozer had on the bench. He had no choice but to receive the serve from Jason Collins and advance forward.

Different from the endless tactical changes of the Hawks, the Nets have been still the same for more than two years. Kidd holds the ball in the top arc and directs his teammates to move in the face of Prince's single defense.

Rasheed Wallace and Raheem blocked Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin's off-ball pick-and-roll, Jason Collins set up a pick-and-roll for Kittles, and Liu Mang just chased Kittles.

Si, Jason Collins pulled out, but Ratliff completely ignored it and just went in and out of the three-second zone, still guarding against the defense of Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin.

The Hawks have already studied the Nets' offensive routine thoroughly. After having the experience of directly defeating the Nets in the last game, they defended more decisively this time.

The last one to cut into the basket was Jason Collins. Kidd passed the ball out. Jason Collins rushed into the basket and flew for a dunk. Ratliff slapped the ball and knocked down Jason Collins' dunk.

Come down!

Liu Mang grabbed the ball and didn't rush to counterattack. Instead, he stabilized the rhythm and slowed it down!

Defending, grinding the position, hitting the success rate, and preventing the Nets from counterattacking from both wings are the strategies used by the Eagles to deal with the Nets that have been carried over from the last game.

Liu Mang pushed forward and wanted to continue playing the pick-and-roll, but Kidd seemed to be ready to deal with it. After Kenyon Martin followed Rasheed Wallace out, he did not choose to step up again, but played with Kidd.

One after another, it was obviously planned to focus on guarding Liu Mang. If Rasheed Wallace wanted to shoot from the outside, let Rasheed Wallace shoot, guard Liu Mang, guard the rebounds, and counterattack.

Kidd is indeed very clever and has a very clear defensive goal. Although Rasheed Wallace is accurate, it is still far from Liu Mang's accuracy. He is a very stable defensive choice, and it is very common for Liu Mang to take the initiative to double-team.

strategy.

But Liu Mang was very unconventional. He just called out Rasheed Wallace, then waved Rasheed Wallace back, and then made a C with his left hand.

Every time they saw Liu Mang's gesture, the Eagles players were very excited. Although they didn't have this in the previous tactics class, they copied the opponent's tactics not once or twice. Rasheed Wallace immediately went to the right corner to play with Pu

Prince picked and rolled, Kenyon Martin ran over to chase Rasheed Wallace, and blocked Prince's air cut at the baseline. Ratliff on the other side went to the left mid-range to help Raheem block the shot.

Chad Jefferson and Jason Collins were just about to step out when they saw Liu Mang squeezing Kidd to rush from the right. Although Kidd suppressed Liu Mang, he was unable to block Liu Mang.

He can stick to Liu Mang and let Liu Mang rush in and get trapped in a double-team.

However, all the insiders were drained!

Liu Mang rushed into the paint next to Kidd, and Jason Collins had to come over to defend. Richard Jefferson on the left side of the basket struggled to bypass Ratliff and follow Rahim, but Ratliff counterattacked.

No one cares about running back to the basket. Liu Mang throws the ball to the left side of the basket. Ratliff makes an alley-oop and scores two points!

When it comes to the Nets' offense, the Nets do not allow Richard Jefferson, who is a strong ball-handler, to play in isolations. This is different from the fact that the Eagles have a triangle offense that has been quite mature for more than two years to create the most suitable isolation opportunities.

, the Nets' singles are singles for the sake of singles, but Richard Jefferson doesn't work well whether he is playing alone against Raheem or against Prince. Especially Prince, there is no such thing in the league.

A few perimeter players can play well. Regardless of non-basketball moves, the Pacers' Artest may be able to compete with Prince in his ability to defend the perimeter alone. Richard Jefferson's isolation effect is not as good.

Rodney Rogers dared to throw wildly. Rodney Rogers dared to throw when faced with a defense. Richard Jefferson couldn't do it. He didn't have the wanderlust mentality as a sixth man.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Nets' offense is still the same old routine. Although they have sufficient pre-game preparations, they mainly focus on defense. After reaching the finals in two years, they can

All the offensive routines have been revealed a long time ago, and there are no drafts for a long time. The Hawks have already thoroughly studied the Nets.

In fact, in the playoffs last season, the Eagles had this awareness, but they lacked strength. Firstly, it was Ratliff's physical problem, and secondly, Muhammad was very good, but not good enough. His advantage was that he had

Momentum, hard work, and passion, but the NBA is very cruel. Before the Hawks officially set the championship as their first goal, Muhammad was enough, and it was enough for the Hawks to dominate the regular season.

But when it came time to play in the playoffs, it was a little bit worse.

Of course, players like Muhammad will not complain because of the lack of playing time, and are always full of passion. Just like just now, after the Eagles defended, Muhammad was the first to get up and wave a towel. For such a player

, even if the Eagles give him 5 million and let him wave the towel, the Eagles will be happy to play rotation time as the fourth and fifth inside line, and even many teams want it, but now Muhammad is no longer able to satisfy the Eagles.

The team needs it. The offense is not as good as Boozer, and the defense is not as good as Rasheed Wallace.

But now that the Hawks have Rasheed Wallace, when they focus on defense, they may have a power forward who can compete with O'Neal, Garnett, and Duncan, and everything is solved.

And today, Liu Mang's goal is very clear. Leave defense to his teammates. He will chase Kittles, an opponent who has become a 3D player. Leave other difficult things to guard to his teammates. He will try his best to target every attack of the Nets.

Make targeted offensive choices on defense and focus entirely on offense!

The Nets did conduct targeted research on the Hawks, but they couldn't stand Liu Mang's ever-changing playing style and he was too familiar with the Nets' defense, so he repeatedly found targeted methods.

On the contrary, the Nets' offense was restricted by the Eagles. In the beginning, Liu Mang scored 4 points and 2 assists, helping the Eagles start a 9-0 start!

Finally, the Nets relied on Kenyon Martin's tip-in to push Richard Jefferson's mid-range shot back to the basket after being interfered by Raheem. The Nets only entered the fourth minute of the game.

time, breaking the embarrassment of 0 points.

Immediately after the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang pushed forward and saw the Nets blocking the line to prevent the Hawks from cutting from the wings. Liu Mang once again asked Rasheed Wallace to come out for the pick-and-roll. Kidd and Kenyon -

Martin still wanted to block Liu Mang's entry route. This time Liu Mang was cruel and wanted to waste time!

He took a step behind Rasheed Wallace, used Rasheed Wallace as a gun stand, and took a three-pointer!

Liu Mang played very steadily in these two games, but suddenly something happened. Kidd couldn't react. Liu Mang felt hot at the beginning and hit a pick-and-roll three-pointer one step away from the three-point line!

12-2, the Eagles started with a 12-2 scoring shock wave!

With 7 points and 2 assists in the opening game, all the Eagles’ scores are directly related to Liu Mang!

The fans at the scene were going crazy, and the Nets finally couldn't sit still. Byron Scott originally wanted to continue to follow his teacher Phil Jackson and leave the court to the players, but now

, Kidd had nothing to do when facing the Hawks.

The fanatical atmosphere at the scene made the Nets even more irritable when they fell behind. Kidd and Kenyon Martin had already complained to each other about the opponent's defense not being in place in time.

After returning from the timeout, the Eagles replaced Ratliff and Prince and replaced him with Kwame Brown and Barnes. Coach Kruger saw that Liu Mang was hot today and decisively arranged for Liu Mang.

The tactics of throwing and throwing.

On the Nets side, they replaced Mourning and Kenyon Martin to enhance their inside mobility and hope to defend against the Eagles' offensive tactics.

Their arrangement, of course, is still defensive, and the Nets' offense has always been left to Kidd.

However, the Eagles stopped playing tactics and let Liu Mang play alone on the outside, while others rushed to grab rebounds, and then turned back and defended, slowing down the pace as much as possible.

The Hawks made the same choice as they did after creating a lead in the last game! They already have successful experience against the Nets!

However, Liu Mang's touch was excellent in this game. Liu Mang, who devoted himself entirely to the offensive end, was not afraid of Kidd's defense and just did it with the ball!

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles led the Nets by 14 points, 25-11!

Liu Mang scored 14 points and 3 assists in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Stockton came up with Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Muhammad, and fought the Nets for half a quarter, slowing down the rhythm and playing until the official timeout.

At that time, the Eagles were tied with the Nets for more than half a quarter, with a half-quarter score of 16-16, and the two teams tied 41-27.

But then, the Hawks once again switched to Liu Mang's singles, and the other four people defended and grabbed rebounds, suddenly tightening the rhythm. The Nets had no good way to deal with it, and coach Byron Scott could only

Put on the defensive lineup and fight with the Eagles, but Liu Mang's singles today was a bit too accurate. He scored 15 points in five minutes and led the Eagles to an 18-8 climax before halftime. The Eagles

At the end of halftime, the score was stretched to 59 to 35! Leading by 24 points at halftime!

During the halftime break, there seemed to be something wrong in the Nets' locker room. At the beginning of the second half, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin both broke out, while the Eagles led by more than 20 points at halftime.

, it was inevitable that the defense was a little lax. The Nets beat the Hawks 8-0 at the beginning of the third quarter and seemed to be gaining momentum.

But Liu Mang and Jason Terry immediately responded with 4 three-pointers, three of which were made by Jason Terry. The first blood was a shame in the last game, after the Nets played 8-0.

, responded with a 12-6, and although Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin broke out, they only narrowed the point difference by two points in the first half.

After the Eagles stabilized the situation, Liu Mang and Jason Terry began to become more and more aggressive. In the third quarter, when the defenses of both teams began to relax, Liu Mang and Jason Terry scored 26 points in a single quarter.

, withstood the Nets' counterattack.

Liu Mang scored 37 points in three quarters!

At the end of the quarter, the Hawks held on to the point difference and gave the Nets no chance of a comeback. Stockton came up to press the line, bringing Liu Mang, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown to give the Nets a chance.

The team's final critical hit, the Nets collapsed in the final quarter!
