Chapter 1108 1107. Langbi Sanying Is Online
Watching NBA games can also learn geography knowledge. Just that scene, fans feel that the ticket is worth it.
This kind of scene is not unprecedented in the NBA, but it is particularly common. After all, the current NBA and the previous NBA are still full of confrontational sports.
However, it is not easy to see it with your own eyes. Even if you don’t see it with your own eyes, it is rare to see it on live TV.
This time the fans are lucky!
Garnett resisted the weird and angry feeling, and went to the front court, continuing to fall high and back. Rasheed Wallace seemed to have not suffered any hardship, and continued to defend in front. Garnett pulled Rasheed Wallace and quickly turned around to cut into the inside.
Kwame Brown blocked Garnett on the left side of the three-second zone. When Garnett wanted to pass the ball, he found that the opponent was not suffering, but had a coping strategy!
Liu Mang had already received the ball and went around Mark Blount. Rasheed Wallace also immediately went to the middle to block Banks's cut. The Timberwolves' offensive coordination was indeed too poor. There were only a few ways of coordination. The Hawks had already encountered this way of coordination in the last game. Liu Mang and others quickly responded defensively.
Garnett reacted quickly. When he was about to be double-teamed by Rasheed Wallace, he turned and retreated to the baseline and shot a mid-range jump shot!
"Bang..."
Garnett's baseline jump shot was average, and the ball hit the basket on the other side. Liu Mang leaned on Mark Blount and jumped up to defend the defensive rebound.
The Timberwolves quickly retreated and suppressed the rhythm.
The Timberwolves, who had won the Hawks once, knew that they had a chance to win only if they controlled the rhythm.
When Liu Mang quickly advanced to the frontcourt, the opponent had already set up a positional battle position. Liu Mang was not in a hurry. He continued to look for Rasheed Wallace to pick and roll under Banks' close defense.
When Liu Mang was about to break through with the help of Rasheed Wallace's pick-and-roll, Garnett directly expanded the three-point line and pressed in front of Liu Mang!
Liu Mang was hit and was sandwiched between Garnett and Rasheed Wallace. The ball almost slipped out of his hand, so he quickly hugged the ball.
System prompts are coming!
"Ding... Features: Iron Blood Field is triggered. As Kevin Garnett's defensive aggressiveness increases, the Timberwolves' team defensive enthusiasm and defensive aggressiveness increase."
"This damn Brokeback Mountain skinny guy, still wants to turn defense into offense?"
Liu Mang saw that Banks had already double-teamed up, and Garnett also reached out to grab it. Liu Mang grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched it out to the back. At this time, McGrady reacted quickly and ran over to respond.
After McGrady took the ball away, Garnett quickly moved over to defend Rasheed Wallace who cut in. Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief and pulled away to the left with Banks at a 45-degree angle.
The Timberwolves' defensive actions became more and more rough, and the referee did not blow the whistle.
McGrady felt very different when facing Ricky Davis' rough defense. Ricky Davis used to be famous for his good physical fitness but unwilling to defend. This season, he actually played a first-class defensive efficiency of 3.3.
Whether it was for the next contract or because of Garnett's pressure, Ricky Davis played well this season. He did a really good job without the ball and on defense.
However, such defense is very oppressive for ordinary players, and for McGrady...
McGrady accelerated suddenly, not towards the basket defense line, but directly towards the front, rushing towards the baseline, with the fastest three steps, leaving Ricky Davis behind, and when he reached the position close to the baseline, McGrady suddenly stopped. When Ricky Davis rushed up and Garnett went to McGrady to make up for it, McGrady slapped the ball to the left, quickly pulled it to the left in two steps, grabbed the ball one step outside the right side of the three-second zone, jumped to the left front, and made a layup with his left hand. Garnett moved sideways very well and rushed to interfere. McGrady played a low-handed pull-up shot...
McGrady's movements were very beautiful, and the visual effect of his slender body opening and closing was explosive, but unfortunately the throw was a miss...
The throw went over the bridge, and Mark Blount grabbed the defensive rebound.
The Timberwolves did a good job in defending the shot, the decisiveness of the double-teaming, and the interference with the passing route!
McGrady's breakthrough layup was very creative, but he failed to score. He quickly retreated and sighed that they were the fifth lowest team in the league in terms of points lost. In fact, the average points lost by the Spurs, Hornets, Heat and Lakers were around 91 to 92, not much lower than the Timberwolves, and their defense was almost at the same level.
When the Timberwolves attacked, Garnett did not continue to ask for the ball. After all, he was a power forward, and there were great limitations in breaking through and passing the ball. The ball was handed to Ricky Davis, the poor version of James.
Ricky Davis received the ball and singled out McGrady. He had an ability rating of 81, averaging 17 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Ricky Davis's data this season is quite good.
However, when he met McGrady, Ricky Davis could not find a good opportunity for the strong breakthrough he was best at. He did not play hard, and was much smarter than before. He looked for Garnett to pick and roll!
Garnett came out and moved and blocked the mobile pick and roll, which was between illegal pick and roll and no violation. This was Garnett's signature mobile pick and roll, which was very solid and McGrady could not get around.
Ricky Davis broke into the inside, but Rasheed Wallace did not block him or try to block him. Instead, he rushed to the right baseline to block Banks' open cut. Liu Mang had already made up for the defense in front of Ricky Davis!
Rapid rotation and defense. Rasheed Wallace's rotation and defense are not as fast as Josh Smith's, but it is enough to defend Banks who can't shoot from mid-range and long-range.
Ricky Davis wanted to squeeze Liu Mang to the inside in the face of Liu Mang's defense, but he couldn't squeeze him!
Kwame Brown pressed Mark Blount tightly under the basket, and Mark Blount had no chance to catch the ball and shoot high.
Ricky Davis could only force a shot from the free throw line against Liu Mang's defense. Liu Mang stretched out his hand to interfere and almost touched the ball!
Although he didn't block it, Ricky Davis's back-up only touched the basket, and Kwame Brown defended the defensive rebound!
The Timberwolves immediately retreated. The offense was too difficult to play, so they started from the defensive end.
The two teams began to fight hard on defense!
For a long time afterwards, the two teams consumed each other in a defensive battle full of melee, and neither of them got too many good scoring opportunities.
The Timberwolves were even worse. The Hawks' three-man team on the outside plus the double towers' defense did better than the Timberwolves' defense.
I just watched a sexy male-male confrontation. Garnett and Rasheed Wallace just played a few balls against each other, and immediately it turned into a dull defensive battle. The fans were almost dozing off.
When the official timeout came in the first quarter, the Hawks only scored 12 points in six minutes, and they still relied on Rasheed Wallace to score 5 points in a row. In addition, there was only a three-pointer from Liu Mang and two free throws from McGrady.
The Timberwolves only scored 10 points in the first half of the quarter, and Garnett scored 6 points and 1 assist.
…
Fell into the rhythm of the Timberwolves!
Although the Hawks were still leading, they unknowingly fell into the defensive rhythm of the Timberwolves, just like the last time they played! They were about to be led astray by the Timberwolves' rich low-scoring experience!
After just half a quarter of defense, the Hawks began to make personnel rotations. Coach Kruger now has the signs of letting himself go when playing against weak teams. He replaced Jason Terry, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry's outside trio played to enhance the offense.
After sending out the inside combination of Josh Smith and Kwame Brown, Coach Kruger began to arrange tactics: "Shoot! Shoot when you have the chance! Go for offensive rebounds and bring up the tempo."
Feeling the changes in Coach Kruger over the past year or so, McGrady remained silent...
It turns out that if you drop a drop of ink into clear water, no matter how big the clear water is, it will be stained black...
...
After the timeout, the Hawks replaced the three eagles and two high school students with physical fitness.
The Timberwolves put Ricky Davis in the point guard position that he is best at, and played with the ball. Rashad McCants, the North Carolina scoring champion, who was once a first-round pick with high hopes and great disappointment by the Timberwolves, was sent out as the shooting guard. Szczerbiak, the favorite for the best sixth man, played. In the inside, which was beyond the Hawks' expectations, Eddie Griffin and Garnett were used as partners in the inside.
The Hawks attacked, frontcourt ball, McGrady passed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball and came to the three-point line, and Ricky Davis became the defender.
Liu Mang did not force the shot. He knew that this guy had become more active this year, and his defense was fierce. He was good at defending against shooting singles. Liu Mang asked Josh Smith to come out for a pick-and-roll.
When Liu Mang used Josh Smith's pick-and-roll, he saw Eddie Griffin imitating Garnett and pressing directly outside the three-point line.
Liu Mang was more direct! When he was halfway around the pick-and-roll, he used Josh Smith as a sight and shot a three-pointer!
When the fans saw Liu Mang's move, they instantly became excited! They started cheering immediately.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Liu Mang's unreasonable three-pointer hit!
Liu Mang clenched his fists with both hands and retreated with the twisting body of the music.
The coach said that he would shoot when he had a chance. There were only two defenders just now, and they were equipped with a high school-style sight. The opportunity was too good, and he had to shoot!
15 to 10!
Then Szczerbiak missed his first mid-range jumper. Turning back, Liu Mang pushed forward to the frontcourt. Before he could set a pick-and-roll, Szczerbiak, who was defending McGrady at a 45-degree angle on the right, double-teamed Liu Mang in advance!
Liu Mang threw the ball to the right at a 45-degree angle. Garnett made up for McGrady. McGrady's reckless nature was also brought up by Liu Mang. Under Garnett's defense, he did not pass the ball to Kwame Brown on the right side of the three-second zone. The assist rebound style was activated! McGrady shot a three-pointer against Garnett's defense!
"Shua..."
McGrady's pull-up three-pointer also went in!
18 to 10!
In just 40 seconds, the Hawks scored 6 points in a row. The game time was exactly seven minutes. The Hawks scored 18 points and returned to their normal scoring efficiency!
