Chapter 1322 1321. Theo Dongmi? (Buddhism's Fifth Update)
Milicic was like a child who had been wronged. He didn't say anything and just kept silent. His teammates didn't see anything wrong with him, and no one else on the Eagles team saw anything wrong with Milicic. .
With 12 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, Milicic performed almost perfectly as the core center, better than Kwame Brown who scored 14 points and 8 rebounds and Marion who scored 13 points and 11 rebounds.
The Eagles are still targeting defense on Milicic. The most important thing to focus on is this. Even though he only had 12 points, he only took 8 shots and scored 12 points on 5 of 8 shots. This was mainly due to his six assists. Six assists from one inside player can basically be regarded as revitalizing the entire team's offense!
There are 4 minutes and 35 seconds left, and they are three points behind. They are very hopeful to win the game, but they cannot be careless. The Eagles are ready to arrange their defense.
Mike Woodson just stood up with the tactical board to arrange defensive tactics, and it was taken away...
Forget about taking away the head coaching job, now he’s starting to look for assistant coaches!
Mike Woodson feels that he can carefully consider the invitation sent to him by the Knicks. Although the Hawks' league-high assistant salary of 3 million per year is very popular and is higher than the head coach salary of some teams. And I'm very happy here, but Mike Woodson can no longer find a pursuit in the Eagles. He is recognized as the first assistant coach.
After working next to Liu Mang for five years, Mike Woodson feels that some of his original ideas that he wanted to improve have been almost perfected. Although Liu Mang has always had many novel ideas, not everyone is called Lon Kruger. Some coaches can't remember those things. It's good to have your own system. Mike Woodson felt that it was almost time for him to leave. After the Eagles won their first championship two years ago, a team asked him to be their head coach. He never went.
It's not that he wasn't happy about having his tactical board taken away. The Eagles were like this and had long been used to it. Mike Woodson just thought of it when he was bored after his tactical board was taken away.
Liu Mang, on his side, targeted Milicic!
Coach Kruger saw that the defense deployed by Liu Mang was completely different from the defense he had just discussed with Mike Woodson and Stockton!
Originally, Mike Woodson wanted to extend the defensive strategy that Liu Mang arranged when the Eagles called a timeout to let Milicic rush out and not give high-post opportunities. Unexpectedly, it suddenly changed!
And...I don't understand again. Is this to give up defense against Milicic's high position support?
…
After the timeout, the Raptors attack.
The five strongest players on the Hawks side still appeared, and the Raptors side still had the starting lineup. In less than five minutes, the difference was 3 points, and there was no advantage or disadvantage at all. If you insist on having an advantage, you are actually lagging behind. For the Eagles, McGrady only played 31 minutes, Liu Mang played 29 minutes, Jason Terry 27 minutes, Kwame Brown 33 minutes, and Marion 31 minutes. The main stars played egalitarian playing time, and other players Divide time.
Physical fitness has the advantage, and the Eagles are chasing points!
McGrady started with serious defense. He actually defended Joe Johnson very well three times, but Joe Johnson's touch was too good the first two times.
But if they don't score once, the Raptors don't dare to let Joe Johnson hold the ball all the time. He has a shortcoming: he doesn't let go of the ball when he feels it.
TJ Ford advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Milicic in the high post. Kwame Brown did not continue to press the defense, but gave him space to prevent penetration shots, ready to shrink to the basket at any time.
The Raptors' movement is very methodical. They have practiced it for a long time, and they are serious about it again today, but... Milicic's pass was a beat slow!
TJ Ford caught the ball and made a layup after Richard Jefferson blocked Liu Mang. Tracy McGrady, who was on guard, slapped him out of bounds!
Milicic's concentration has dropped!
It really works!
Even Liu Mang was just taking a gamble, but he didn't expect Milicic and Odom to have the same characteristics.
Milicic is a little better. He is normal most of the time. When he is happy, he can perform at the highest level. Only when he is frustrated, his condition plummets.
And there are too many aspects that make Milicic frustrated!
Even grievances can make him feel depressed!
Odom will become serious when he is stimulated, wronged and unhappy. Milicic and Odom are completely opposite! Odom is good if he can focus for 10 minutes in a game, while Milicic may be focused for 38 minutes in a game, but his mentality collapses at a moment's notice...
Is this... a way to limit Milicic's high-position support?
In fact, in addition to his ability to grasp the time difference, Milicic's high-post support is actually at a good level. Unlike Garnett and Gasol, who are among the best in high-post support, Milicic's passing ability is not only good at passing, but also high-post support alone. What makes him different from ordinary people is his control of time.
Putting this aside for now, the Raptors sent a baseline kick, and Liu Mang got back into the game.
Milicic's pass was generally good just now, but TJ Ford was blocked when he shot confidently. People who are not keen can't see any change, and just feel that the Eagles changed defense too quickly.
With 6 seconds left, you have to make a quick decision after receiving the ball.
Milicic served the ball from outside the baseline. Richard Jefferson and Joe Johnson were closely connected. Only Bargnani in the bottom corner had space. Milicic sent the ball towards the left...
Liu Mang reached out to catch the ball.
Liu Mang blocked TJ Ford from the middle just as he ran to the baseline, and just caught the ball. Milicic was distracted and didn't see Liu Mang!
Liu Mang quickly passed the ball to McGrady and counterattacked!
Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Jason Terry counterattacked. Jason Terry received the pass from McGrady and hit a three-pointer from the left corner!
95-95 tie!
When they were still leading by three points, the Raptors still had hope, but now they were tied... They had a broken jar mentality.
How could they beat that guy? He is the strongest in the world! Let's just focus on the playoffs...
After tying the score, the Hawks firmly took the initiative, and the defense was mysteriously good. Except for Liu Mang, no one else knew what was going on. A defense that was equivalent to giving up defense actually defended...
Coach Kruger said he was used to it. Mike Woodson felt that the longer he stayed with Liu Mang, the more he doubted his life. He felt that he had seen enough strange things before, and now something even stranger happened...
After being beaten 11-0 in the final quarter, the Hawks returned a 26-9!
107-100, the Hawks relied on Liu Mang's 40 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in a single game to get their first win of the season!
