Grinding ground?
No one is better than the eastern team. Pat Riley's invincible rhythm tactics have been extremely terrifying in the Knicks and Heat for ten years. If it weren't for Jordan and Ewing, the slow pace led by Pat Riley was eliminated Standing outside the finals, that kind of iron-blooded style of play might really succeed.
But Pat Riley is also unlucky enough. He coached the Knicks for four years and was able to meet the Bulls in the playoffs for four consecutive years. The first time Jordan met the Bulls was probably the first time after experiencing the Bad Boys. This type of team, the Knicks and the Bulls reached a tiebreaker in the second round of 1992, and was known as the team that caused Jordan the most trouble in the playoffs that year.
After that, Jordan said he got used to it, and it was easily resolved in the second year.
Later, Pat Riley went to Miami, Jordan came back, and met in the playoffs for two consecutive years, and the Heat were directly swept both times.
Finally, Pat Riley got Jordan to retire, won the first record in the Eastern Conference, and then was hacked...
Pat Riley has changed several systems in his life, probably only this iron-blood system is the only system that has not won the championship...
However, Pat Riley's influence on the Eastern Conference is indelible. The iron-blooded atmosphere of the entire Eastern Conference has been fully cultivated in the past ten years since he came to the Eastern Conference. No matter which team has a deadly tactics.
Back from the second quarter, the Eagles' lineup was not only puzzled by the four guys on the bench, but also by the opponents.
Based on previous research by coach Nate McMillan, should the Hawks send that first-year guy on the run at this point? He has been replaced by future coaches Earl Watson, Randy Livingston, Art Long, Ansu Cersey, Pedraro Drobiaque, the most capable players in their team. Run the youngest up to play defense.
Who knew the Eagles actually sent a defensive lineup.
Everyone was drowsy watching it. Liu Mang watched the ten players on the court who were not doing well on offense, and the players who defended hard were pecking at each other.
A bunch of people are piled up near the three-second zone, and the other side takes the ball and digs in. If they can’t make a shot, they want to counterattack, but the opponent also has a few very fast ones. The counterattackers don’t have much tactical literacy, and they encounter opponents who come back from defense Just stop cooking, and continue to keep a bunch of people in the three-second zone, and the cycle repeats.
Unlike Coach Kruger, who thought the picture looked pretty good, Coach McMillan on the opposite side was about to go crazy.
So college coaches are the most annoying! When I came to the NBA, I wanted to be the best coach, and I came up with some weird tricks, but they were so effective!
After playing for four or five minutes, coach Nate McMillan couldn't take it anymore. The situation on the field was too passive, and he completely entered the rhythm of the Eastern team. He replaced the main force.
Seeing the five best players in the Sonics take off their training clothes, Coach Kruger's eyes lit up and he started running!
The Eagles replaced all four defensive players led by Ratliff and replaced them with Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Newbell, and Muhammad.
"Ace, Jason, go up and increase the speed, whether they score or not, increase the speed!"
Coach Kruger waved his hand, and the Eagles cavalry lineup was dispatched!
"Ah?" Liu Mang was very surprised. Didn't he just say that the opponent has a lot of pitchers, the three players go up together, Ratliff is not there, and the rebound is not guaranteed if he hits a fast one?
"Ah what, hurry up." Coach Kruger gave Liu Mang a look.
These days the coach is God, Liu Mang doesn't understand, but follow the instructions! Didn't you see that the other four teammates didn't say anything? Only Liu Mang, who is used to watching the coach get fired if the player is unhappy in the future, dares to talk so much.
After a timeout, the Supersonics attacked. After Wen Baker rested off the court for a while, he came up full of energy. As soon as he played, he set off a bloody storm in the Eagles' inside line, stirring up the Eagles' inside line, and couldn't hold it! Muhammad had no other choice, so he used dirty tricks again and again. Honest people used dirty tricks more powerfully than ordinary people, because Muhammad played very well before, and now he is secretly fighting against Wen Baker. With the insidious tricks, Wen-Baker was repeatedly slapped by Muhammad several times. Wen-Baker couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his head high and struck the iron!
The Supersonics haven’t come back to defense yet. From the situation in the first quarter, they feel that the Eagles don’t dare to play fast breaks, because there are a few times when the Hawks failed to play fast breaks, and the Eagles returned to the defense by themselves. The position was not well settled, and the three major shooters on the Supersonic side passed the ball and made the ball one after another.
And according to the analysis of Coach Nate McMillan, his own side has an advantage in shooting, and he also has an advantage in rebounding when the opponent's big center is not in and no one is stuck. The opponent dare not play fast breaks.
However, the Hawks were so unexpected. Muhammad turned around and grabbed the rebound, throwing it at Liu Mang who had already started to go down when Vin Baker shot.
Liu Mang didn't know if speeding up was a good strategy at this time, but with this arrangement, he decisively raised the speed to the fastest and played fast break.
Payton has always been on guard against Liu Mang, and it was the first time the Supersonics retreated back. Liu Mang rushed into the opponent's three-point line, and Payton was already in the three-second zone.
The other four of the Eagles made a collective fast break. Jason Terry was the first to cross the half court. Barry, who ran back from the Supersonics, was the second to double-team Liu Mang. Payton waved his hand to make him pay attention to the three-pointer. At the line, he turned his head to see Jason Terry coming, and hurried to block the opponent's line of receiving the ball.
The Sonics' other two defenders did their best to hold off the Hawks' frontcourt follow-up.
Liu Mang immediately stepped into the free throw line, and suddenly found that there was no one to pass the ball to!
Peyton, this is a daring artist! If you want to defend against the opponent's fast break by yourself, or defend against the opponent's fast break.
Everyone has already issued a challenge, how can Liu Mang be cowardly!
Liu Mang entered the free throw line, and Payton was still pressing at the beginning, but when Liu Mang picked up the ball and took a step, Payton slammed it up.
Liu Mang jumped up and landed, changing direction drastically!
but!
Before the game, Payton had done a lot of research on Liu Mang, who has become more and more popular among rookies recently. He was already prepared for Liu Mang's slow-paced change. Take a step back to prepare for Liu Mang's next change of direction.
Seeing Peyton's actions, Liu Mang's eyes flashed brightly, and Peyton's step back stepped into a reasonable collision zone! Liu Mang faces the basket!
Liu Mang felt his blood was boiling, and there was only one thought in his head, the basket!
Liu Mang didn't change direction, he stepped forward with his left foot and jumped with all his strength!
Peyton was startled and rushed forward, but! Liu Mang's explosive power may not be enough, but the rhythm transition from slow to fast is too strong!
When Payton pounced, Liu Mang had already smashed the ball into the basket!
Every other person barely buckles!
