Friendly recommendation of Datouwen's new book, football article "I am Wuqiuwang". Friends who like to read football can take a look. It is a type of real-life player crossing, which is the characteristic of Datouwen.

"Tracy, your action is ugly!"

Liu Mang didn't expect McGrady to stop the Spurs by sticking his butt out...

One minute into the game, the Spurs called a timeout. The fans at the ATT Center have gotten used to it...

However, Duncan has become the background again!

Liu Mang believes that no matter which side wins this game, McGrady's 180-degree turn, sticking his butt out, and leaning forward can be included in the top five shots!

This ball is too classic and difficult to copy, and the background is always Duncan.

Duncan doesn't push people, and his defense is quite clean. If McGrady is the opponent, and the person who makes up for the defense is Kwame Brown, McGrady will probably have to lie on the floor to finish this ball.

It's too sexy, I have to play it!

It went in, it was a good shot.

McGrady was very proud. In fact, Duncan's assisting defense speed exceeded McGrady's expectations at that time, which was much faster than last season. McGrady had just entered the low post and jumped after taking the first three steps after the pick-and-roll, and Duncan had already defended in place. His speed was much faster than last season when he was troubled by injuries and had not lost weight. He had already jumped up at that time, and was full of passion, just thinking about avoiding the defense and throwing it out.

It went in, it was a classic goal!

Many classic goals in the NBA were made in this way, without this kind of passion.

Coach Kruger couldn't adapt to the Spurs' way of calling a timeout. Although the Hawks would also call a similar timeout, they would at least play for two or three minutes before calling it. What was wrong with the Hawks' play just now... It seemed that there was no big problem. McGrady's goal was a good goal. If he could score that kind of goal, the opponent would definitely not dare to let him pick and roll easily. McGrady had the opportunity to take the first three steps, and the threat was the same as Liu Mang's threat when he had the breakthrough space. The strength of the starting two eagles lies in the fact that they can both pull up and shoot. They need to be closely defended when holding the ball, and they both have top breakthrough ability.

McGrady is not as good as Liu Mang in finishing ability at the basket, but McGrady has stronger confrontation and explosiveness, and it is easier for him to go deep into the basket.

The Hawks have no room for adjustment! They can only watch the opponent adjust, because the opponent has no other changes except Duncan's singles.

This is what Popovich wants, and it is also what the Hawks think when they call a timeout at a bad start.

At this time, a certain brat is needed.

Coach Kruger took the tactical board to his chest with one hand and spent all his money...

It just so happened that Liu Mang really wanted to do something, otherwise they would just stand there when the opponent called a timeout, looking like a big fool being played by Popovich.

Liu Mang felt that there would probably be no big changes on the Spurs side. There would definitely be some changes in defense, but the lineup would probably not change much.

However, Liu Mang needed changes, whether it was effective or not was another matter. The tactics of the first attack just now were effective, and the opponent would definitely pay attention to the defense against such a style of play. The Hawks' goal had been achieved, so they could proceed to the next tactic.

As the substitute teammates got better and better, and the tacit understanding became better and better, Liu Mang also wanted to play more and more...

"Tayshaun, you take a rest first, Tracy, let's defend Parker and Artest together, Rajon, you go, Sean and Kwame, we continue to play, let's do it this way..."

...

After the timeout, the Hawks sent Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown to play. This is the second fastest lineup of the Hawks.

A big change on the offensive end! One of the several temporary tactics that were practiced in the afternoon was taken out. Coach Kruger saw that Liu Mang casually took out a tactic and his heart was bleeding. The game had only been played for a few minutes, and the second tactic against the Spurs was going to be used!

Is the tactic against the Spurs defense so good?

Rondo was so excited!

This was his first time to play at such an early time!

As for the defensive end, the Hawks can barely hold off Artest, the muscular monster, only McGrady and Granger. The two starters and substitutes take turns to deal with Artest. Fortunately, Artest's ball control and other skills are not as good as James. Granger is now put in the rotation lineup, otherwise it would be really difficult without Iguodala and Josh Smith.

The Spurs did not make any substitutions. The lineup of Parker, James White, Artest, Oberto, and Duncan was still on the court to maintain the speed.

The Spurs attacked. Parker received the frontcourt serve. Artest, who has a good three-point ability, went to the bottom corner to play the role of Bowen. Duncan easily scored one before. Marion has a tendency to shrink and double-team. Duncan did not go to the basket to get a position, but together with Oberto, one left and one right, opened up space in the mid-range on both sides. Oberto was at the right baseline, and Duncan was at the left 45-degree angle with the most accurate mid-range with a hit rate of 47%. James White wandered at the baseline and cut into the basket at any time to receive the ball and dunk.

But what surprised Parker was that the Hawks changed players!

And after the substitution, it was not Liu Mang who was guarding him, but a rookie from the other team! Liu Mang went to the baseline to block the empty cut of James White, the super dunk king.

Popovich can really use anyone! As long as there are some special features, he can use them here.

James White is not good at layups, but he was a famous dunker in high school and college. Liu Mang saw a 100 bounce rating for the first time, except for Carter and Nate Robinson. Liu Mang remembered that in the original time and space, this guy who was called the super dunker could jump level with the basket. After Carter got older, James White was likely to compete with Nate Robinson for the longest distance from the ground.

Parker was originally very afraid of Liu Mang's defense, mainly because of the psychological depression. He was bullied by Liu Mang since he entered the NBA. Although he also won the game, it didn't matter to him, so he was easily affected by Liu Mang's "glove" characteristics.

But Rondo defended him, and Parker was not calm.

Look down on him!

Liu Mang and McGrady, two defensive masters, went to defend two "no offensive ability" guys, and used a rookie to defend him!

Parker saw his teammates arrived in his offensive area, ignored Rondo, and accelerated the strong attack!

Average speed of 95!

Except for TJ Ford, no player has a faster sustained speed than Parker!

Parker thought that he could easily leave Rondo behind and teach this rookie a lesson...

Then... Parker was stuck...

So fast!

Parker didn't expect Rondo to be so fast!

Parker's speed is top-notch, and Liu Mang and Rondo's speed are the closest to top-notch!

Parker despised, but Rondo was extremely focused! He successfully used his speed talent and defensive awareness to stick to Parker and reduce Parker's speed. Parker failed to enter the basket directly, and was stuck by Rondo stepping on the edge of the three-second zone to a position close to the baseline!

The speed of the two was slightly reduced because they were stuck together, but it was also top speed, playing a speed of about 90. Parker didn't have time to react too much and was already close to the baseline!

Parker was a little ashamed and angry that he was blocked by a rookie! Liu Mang blocked him, he admitted that it was a rookie!

At this time, Oberto actively went out to the high mid-range on the right side. Parker did not pass the ball, and shot against Rondo's long arms...

This is not what Parker is good at. He is good at lobs in the three-second zone and layups after turning around and avoiding the center under the basket. He shot directly against the defense, but missed! Hit the basket!

Kwame Brown tried his best to block Duncan, and Liu Mang rushed into the basket to grab the defensive rebound!

Rondo was about to go down when Parker shot!

Liu Mang passed the ball to Rondo!

Duncan also returned to defense as soon as he was blocked by Kwame Brown, and Artest also returned to defense as soon as possible. He had no chance to perform on the offensive end, but he was very active on the defensive end.

Rondo's extremely fast counterattack speed attracted Duncan and Artest who were chasing to the middle.

Liu Mang, McGrady, and Kwame Brown also quickly went down, so that Parker and James White who were chasing quickly did not dare to go into the inside and guard the two three-pointers.

At this time, Marion, who was a little slower than Rondo, rushed into the paint. Rondo threw the ball high from the free throw line, and Marion rushed into the paint and jumped high, dunking with his hands hanging on the basket like a gorilla!

The cavalry company counterattacked again!

Rondo and Marion took the lead!

This was outside the Hawks' tactical plan!

This season, the Hawks played less counterattacks, mostly chasing three-pointers, relying on the three-point ability of the three eagles, Korver, and Marion.

After losing Josh Smith and Iguodala, the cavalry tactics developed by the lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Rasheed Wallace, and Muhammad, and the new cavalry company charge in the first two seasons, have disappeared for a long time.

This time, let Rondo and the best lineup together, and the cavalry company is resurrected!

I have to say that talent is really evil. Even if Liu Mang has his own efforts and the improvement of Payton's defensive training card, in terms of defensive talent, he is still far behind Rondo, who was a third-year second-defense and a fourth-year first-defense. Rondo's defensive talent is counted in the history of the NBA for decades!

What is visible talent?

When you roughly understand how to use Rondo, the advantages shown by Rondo are visible talents!

Some things cannot be trained... talent is talent.

There is a small detail when Rondo is about to get off the court after Parker shot. He pushed Marion and asked Marion to run faster.

Unlike the other Hawks who did not pay much attention to Marion's scoring performance in the running and gunning team, Rondo paid much attention to it. He wanted to bring out the characteristics of his teammates!

In the past, he was only regarded as a role of restraining defense or running to the bottom corner to shoot three-pointers. Rondo felt that Marion's counterattack ability was wasted.

Liu Mang grabbed the rebound and passed the ball quickly, which was faster than McGrady's first pass after grabbing the rebound. Rondo assisted with the ball...

Coach Kruger was very excited to see the "resurrected" cavalry tactics, and put the cavalry tactics that had been crossed out at the beginning of the season back into the alternative tactics.

The connection between Rondo and Marion boosted the morale of the Hawks!

The boos at the scene were much smaller, which was a big blow!

I called a timeout, but the opponent actually played a long-lost cavalry charge!

Popovich's crazy roar came again, and Parker's irrelevant jump shot made him very annoyed.

I called a timeout, but the opponent actually widened the score difference to 5 points!

But there was no timeout. There was only one short timeout in a quarter, and the rest were long timeouts. It is important to disrupt the opponent's rhythm, but it would be painful if it also disrupted your own rhythm.

Parker calmed down. He felt that he had just fallen into the "conspiracy" of the Hawks!

It must be a conspiracy, otherwise Parker could not convince himself.

After Parker advanced to the frontcourt, he looked for Duncan for a pick-and-roll.

With the help of Duncan's pick-and-roll, Parker accelerated towards the inside line!

Rondo and Kwame Brown did not switch defense. Switching defense was unstoppable. Rondo chose to go around the pick-and-roll, and Kwame Brown continued to stick to Duncan.

Liu Mang quickly shrank from the baseline to the basket. When Parker came in, Liu Mang relied on the defensive bonus of the hot pot feast under the basket to accurately judge Parker's cutting route, blocked up, and blocked Parker.

"Switch defense quickly!" Liu Mang shouted loudly to Rondo, who was two steps slower than Parker, when he blocked Parker.

Rondo was stunned for a moment. He wanted to steal Parker from behind. At this time, Parker was stuck by Liu Mang, grabbed the ball and stabilized it, and threw the ball to the left side of the basket.

James White!

The super dunk king is out!

James White took off first, jumped into the three-second zone from the left side of the three-second zone, and when he caught the ball in the air, his head was above the basket! He made a move when he fell, swung the ball from top to bottom and then from bottom to top in a circle, and smashed the ball into the basket!

Super alley-oop windmill!

Rondo didn't expect there was such a trick!

Rondo's judgment was correct. He judged that Parker's sight had been blocked by Liu Mang. Rondo could intercept the high-position pass himself, and he determined that Parker could only shoot by himself.

But he didn't expect Parker to pass such a random pass, and James White could actually catch the ball and dunk!

Young, inexperienced, and wanting to make a contribution, Rondo's speed can switch defense in place. He thought about making a contribution, but the opponent caught the gap instead.

The focus of the Hawks' current defensive lineup when defending the Spurs Parker with the ball is Liu Mang's ability to block the basket. Liu Mang did a good job, but because of his rookie experience, he didn't defend it, and Liu Mang was a little unhappy.

Seeing that Rondo was frightened because he didn't switch defense when he was yelled at to do so, Liu Mang endured it. Iguodala and Josh Smith made more mistakes back then. Liu Mang patted Rondo on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, just pay attention next time."

Picking up the ball and passing it to Rondo, Rondo was surprised that Liu Mang actually comforted him. Liu Mang's face turned green when he didn't switch defense. He was really scared.

Rondo learned another thing, stable defense is more important than meritorious service!

The Hawks attacked, and Rondo advanced to the frontcourt.

McGrady was waiting for a chance to catch the ball and shoot at a 45-degree angle on the right, and Liu Mang went to run and play without the ball.

Instead of McGrady holding the ball, let a rookie hold the ball?

Parker saw Liu Mang cutting into the inside, and immediately switched defense with James White and ran after Liu Mang.

Rondo waved to Kwame Brown for a pick-and-roll in the high post. Kwame Brown came out with Duncan. Just as he ran to the free throw line, he suddenly turned around and blocked Parker behind Liu Mang who ran from the free throw line to the right side of the basket after running to the left side of the basket!

Marion also pulled up from the right corner to block Duncan who wanted to switch defense.

Liu Mang went around the right three-point line. Rondo immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang. Artest came to Liu Mang to defend. Liu Mang received the ball and jumped outside the three-point line...

"Ding... The air magician level 5 is triggered. The opponent and teammates have..."

When Liu Mang's right-hand air route was blocked by Artest's accurate prediction, he grabbed the ball and jumped, but he did not lift the ball with his right hand, but with his left hand. He pushed the ball out with one hand with his left hand...

It was not a shot either!

Liu Mang passed the ball!

McGrady cut into the basket, received Liu Mang's lob, and scored two points with a layup!

When Liu Mang ran out with the help of double screens, McGrady cut inside. Artest was stupid and wanted to chase McGrady, but Liu Mang received the ball and could only block Liu Mang. Kwame Brown and Marion blocked a bunch of people in the middle, just like the first attack, chasing the players under the basket, Liu Mang was left empty!

This is a variant of the first tactic of the Hawks at the beginning!

For Coach Kruger, it is very painful to use the second tactic before the first tactic is cracked, but Liu Mang has a different understanding of the two tactics. The two tactics seem to be matched in Liu Mang's eyes!

The Hawks started with two attacks. Liu Mang's three-pointer and McGrady's breakthrough with Liu Mang's pick-and-roll, the Spurs failed to reflect Artest's perimeter defense advantage.

Artest is the key player for the Spurs to defend the mid-range. With the rotation defense of the perimeter to defend the three-pointer and Duncan to defend the basket, Artest's central defense is very important.

On the Hawks side, what they have to avoid is the Spurs' use of Artest!

With Artest, the Spurs' ability to defend both inside and outside is very troublesome. Liu Mang first uses tactics to avoid this.

As for whether the opponent's adjustment will still be effective... Let's have some fun first!
