Chapter 538
Liu Mang touched the few stubbles on his chin that he had deliberately left unshaved, thinking.
The changes on the Eagles' side are not as effective as those on the Nets' side!
The main reason is that neither Liu Mang nor Prince scored two three-pointers!
Liu Wei could see that the Nets were betting. Raheem played the peak playoff performance of his career in the last round, with a career-high 48 points and 30+ triple-doubles. After the peak period of technology, he played his best performance in the playoffs, so he had to put the defense of Raheem on the first task, and tentatively let go of the two bottom corners.
It is the habit of this era to play three-pointers from the corner and mainly defend mid-range and short-range scorers. It even led to the fact that in the future, after people began to pay attention to three-pointers from the corner, there was a minimum value of pitchers who could do nothing else. A crazy era of tens of millions of years has appeared, because defensive habits have been developed for a long time, the person holding the ball is often on the line and under the basket, the bottom corner becomes the visual blind spot of the defensive player, and the ball is often passed to the bottom corner shooter Only then did the defending side notice that there was someone there, and the opponent had already made a move when he defended.
The Eagles guessed that Raheem would definitely attract a lot of double-teams, at least at the beginning of the game, so they took advantage of this and created scoring opportunities for Liu Mang and Prince, but Liu Mang and Prince did not agree. Fighting, the bottom corner opportunity came out but he didn't make it.
And Raheem has already attracted the defense twice to pass the ball. The opponent will probably use Raheem as a bait next time. One step from the free throw line to catch the ball is not Raheem's usual style of play...
Thinking of this, Liu Mang had an idea.
"Ace, why, do you want to change tactics?" Coach Kruger came up and asked. Coach Kruger was already hungry for a lot of tactics prepared for the Nets, and he was ready to change tactics at any time.
"No, let's continue," Liu Mang shook his head, and called Rahim up: "Sharif, you're like this..."
...
Back from the timeout, the Eagles serve in the frontcourt. Liu Mang receives the serve and advances to the top arc. Kidd defends again. Prince comes outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left. Kittles defends him. Hammad and Ratliff go to the basket, Kenyon Martin and Mutombo defend the basket, and Raheem is in the middle distance on the right, running with Richard Jefferson.
The Nets thought that the Hawks called a timeout to change their offensive tactics, but they didn't expect that the opponent's position was still the same at the beginning. Then, they saw Liu Mang and asked Rahim to go up to the free throw line to catch the ball.
After Liu Mang passed the ball to Raheem, he ran without the ball and entered the inside line again, using Ratliff's pick-and-roll to run from the right side of the three-second zone to the right corner.
Sure enough, the Nets have tightened their defense against the two corner shooters! I probably noticed that this tactic uses Rahim as a defensive player, mainly passing the ball!
Both Liu Mang and Prince tried to shoot a three-pointer. Just now, the Nets let go of the two three-pointers. They didn’t shoot the same person twice in a row, but once on each side, just to prevent the two from shooting consecutively. Both of them tried to shoot once. According to Prince's 36% and Liu Mang's three-point shooting percentages of 41%, the second goal is very likely to be scored, so the Nets did not make two more shots. When the man let go, Kidd immediately bypassed Ratliff and Mutombo when Liu Mang circled the basket, and followed Liu Mang directly instead of swinging between Liu Mang and Raheem.
The Nets continued to test the Hawks' offensive tactics, leaving only Richard Jefferson to guard Raheem on the outside.
Just when Liu Mang entered the basket, Raheem started! Relying on his strong body, he rolled directly towards Richard Jefferson. Richard Jefferson felt what it means to be weak and helpless. Raheem ran straight into the free throw line as if unimpeded Step inside!
At this time, in order to prevent Liu Mang from getting rid of Kidd directly after Ratliff's pick-and-roll, Mutombo stood on the edge of the three-second zone, although he was still able to prevent Ratliff's high But he couldn't get back to the basket to defend Raheem at the first time, because Ratliff directly blocked him as if he was grabbing a rebound, Kidd followed Liu Mang, and couldn't pinch him, so Kenyon- Martin jumped on it!
At this time, Rahim passed the ball to the left of the three-second zone, and Muhammad took the ball and stepped into the basket to dunk the ball into the basket.
Unexpectedly, the final scoring point is here with Muhammad!
To organize the offense and pass the ball to the final scoring point, at least you need to take a look, give a look, or become a part of the coordination. The Nets are very good at unmanned defense, and they have been paying attention to the details in this regard, otherwise It will not become one of the best defensive teams in the league, but Raheem glanced at Prince and kept watching Liu Mang's running position. When he rushed in, he also paid attention to Liu Mang and the basket. Take a look at Muhammad. Except for the final catch and dunk, Muhammad didn't participate in the entire offense. It was Muhammad who scored in the end!
The Nets players had only one thought in mind, the boss Kidd was right, everyone in the Eagles is a big liar!
The Eagles quickly returned to defense. Kidd had just been taken to the bottom corner by Liu Mang.
The Hawks finally started to find some way to attack, and the Nets pushed forward. This time, the Nets played a three-pointer. The defense shrunk in, but suddenly, Richard Jefferson turned back, and when Raheem had received the basket, there was an abrupt turnback run, and Richard Jefferson ran to 45 The angle gave Kittles blocked Prince, and Kittles ran to a 45-degree angle!
Raheem couldn't expand in the first place. His physical fitness is good, but he can't stand up to Richard Jefferson's explosive speed comparable to Carter!
Kittles ran out of the 45-degree three-point line. Before Prince bypassed the pick-and-roll and jumped up, Kidd's pass had arrived. Kittles took the ball and shot quickly to prevent Prince from getting close. Chance.
Kittles hit another three-pointer.
10 to 2! After the Eagles scored a two-pointer, the Nets immediately made a strong three-pointer, opening the point difference to 8 points!
It was the Eagles attacking again, Liu Mang continued to advance to the top arc, and made the same gesture to Rahim. The Nets were ready, and this time the defense against Muhammad was also taken into consideration. Mutombo was not prepared. In order for Kidd to block Liu Mang, Kidd has prepared for a more difficult defense.
But... Rahim came out to block Kidd's left side, and Liu Mang rushed in from the right!
Kidd didn't know where to start with a greeting in his heart, so he hurried around the pick-and-roll!
This came too suddenly. The gesture just now was to catch the ball from a high position. Why did it become a pick-and-roll?
Pick and roll master level 5 trigger!
92+8, although the peak speed is two points lower than before, but the explosive speed after 100 pick-and-rolls is still not what Kidd can keep up with!
Liu Mang smeared into the three-point line and was about to enter the free throw line. At this time, Kenyon Martin appeared in front of Liu Mang. Dikembe Mutombo guarded the three-second zone. Two opponents who could not score under the basket, Mutombo Bloggers just need to avoid being squeezed out of the three-second zone by the two of them.
After Liu Mang pulled across to the right, he tried to bypass Kenyon Martin and get into the basket, but at this time Mutombo was blocked on the right side of the three-second zone, and Liu Mang suddenly faced Mutombo Stop, knees bent, Kenyon Martin and Mutombo both jumped up, Liu Mang jumped up, but he jumped on the spot, throwing the ball to the other side of the basket in the air...
Another pass! Another pass to the forgotten Muhammad on the left side of the basket! The lob pass! When Liu Mang reached the right side of the three-second zone, Ratliff ran out to block Kidd and Richard Jefferson who shrank in. Ratliff stretched out his long arms, and Kidd and Richard Jefferson Sen gets stuck, and Muhammad leaps high and presses the ball into the basket.
After Muhammad's dunk, the Eagles immediately returned to defense. The Nets had no way to fight back. Kidd was blocked by Ratliff one step inside the free throw line. He couldn't pick up the ball and serve directly. Clamping Liu Mang, the result was that the other party directly picked it up, and it was too late to get off quickly.
Tactics are just tricks to deceive people. These two offenses of the Eagles have brought out the essence of "liars" to the fullest.
It's time for the Nets to attack again.
10 to 4, the Nets still have a 6-point advantage, they are not in a hurry at all, they lower the rhythm,
After Kidd advances to the frontcourt, Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson are still one step inside the 45-degree three-point line on both sides, preparing to make an air cut to the inside, and want to play a back run to attract contraction tactics, but the Eagles did not shrink so much this time. Mohamed and Rahim were a big step ahead of them to prevent them from cutting in, but regardless of their shots, they did not directly retract them. The basket, but trust Ratliff's basket defense.
The Nets trust an old man who claims to be 37 years old but looks like a 47-year-old. Why don't the Eagles trust a teammate who is at the peak of his 30s and has won the block leader for two consecutive years?
Not to mention, even if Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin could squeeze two opponents into the basket, they would not dare to rush in and ask for the ball to hit the basket. Where is it.
Kidd whistled and changed tactics!
The Nets started to act, Mutombo pulled out inside, came to the left 45-degree angle for Richard Jefferson to pick and roll, and Kenyon Martin went to the right bottom corner for Kittles to pick and roll.
It's still a pick-and-roll cut from the wings! Only Richard Jefferson and Kittles! Kenyon Martin helped Kittles pick and roll, and Muhammad could barely keep up after switching defenses. Kittles' physical fitness has indeed declined a lot, otherwise he would not have moved to the first outside shooter of the Nets. Last season, he Still an air cut master.
Not on the other side, after Richard Jefferson used the pick-and-roll, Ratliff couldn't keep up at all! The explosive acceleration was so fast that Raheem struggled to catch up after going around the pick-and-roll, and Kidd's pass was passed by Mutombo to Richard Jefferson's pick-and-roll, and Richard -Jefferson took a step around the pick-and-roll and just caught the ball. This pass prediction made the fans on the scene couldn't help but exclaim! So beautiful! Watching Kidd's pass is the same as watching a magician pass, it is completely the art of passing!
Liu Mang knew something was going to happen the moment Kidd passed the ball, and immediately rushed over to block Richard Jefferson, and together with Raheem blocked Richard Jefferson one by one, Richard De Jefferson passed back to Kidd, and Kidd caught the ball and made a three-pointer!
Really cast!
The Nets scored 13 points in a row, leading the Hawks by 9 points 13 to 4!
The Nets scored three three-pointers in a row in the opening game, and the Nets felt hot from the outside today!
Liu Mang was a little anxious, and left out Kidd, the only Nets player who made more than 100 three-pointers in a single season this year.
Kidd’s nickname was so impressive, Liu Mang subconsciously went to double-team, forgetting that Kidd’s three-pointer for 11 consecutive seasons began in the second year after he came to the Nets until he retired. The number of hits exceeded 100, especially during the Nets and Mavericks period. He made more than 130 three-pointers in a single season for 9 consecutive seasons. When he retired, the total number of three-pointers hit ranked seventh in history. Lee, Nowitzki, and Joe Johnson surpassed and fell out of the top ten in history.
This year the Nets' offense can have more changes, relying on the development of Kidd's three-pointer. Although the layup is still a hole, but with a three-pointer, Kidd has a second offensive trick. In addition to the mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll, Kidd has a three-pointer, and there are more offensive styles to choose from!
After Kidd made a three-pointer, the Nets quickly retreated and also blocked the Eagles' fast break.
Seeing that the point difference was about to be stretched to more than 10 points, Liu Mang couldn't bear it anymore. He dribbled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that the Nets' inside defense was like an iron bucket, Raheem and Liu Mang hit the inside line once. After the pass cut, he looked like he was about to shrink at any time. Prince is just a catch-and-shooter on the offensive end. It would be too difficult to ask him to do too much. Liu Mang decided to play one himself! Make your own threats first!
Liu Mang backed away while dribbling the ball under his crotch. This scene was so familiar to Raheem. It was the iconic breakthrough move of the guy who was suppressed by him to the fourth overall pick in the draft! Raheem immediately went to the middle distance of the baseline on the right to open up space.
Stephen Marbury's tentative step breakthrough!
The Nets have studied the Eagles for a long time, especially Kidd, who has been paying attention to the Eagles' games this season, especially the continuous improvement of Liu Mang's style of play. Kidd has always been impressed, and the progress is too fast! From passing to breakthrough, plus the already accurate three-pointer, Liu Mang's offense with the ball already has the feeling of being first-class in the league, so Kidd has carefully studied many of Liu Mang's technical moves, and the one that makes him feel incredible is Liu Mang. The ability to learn is more terrifying every time I see it!
Now Liu Mang's action, Kidd immediately reacted, it was Marbury's tentative breakthrough!
Imitating Marbury's breakthrough is not terrible, because few can imitate it well. It is different from Jordan's breakthrough that relies on physical fitness and fake moves. The kind of Kobe and Mashburn imitated quite well. The No. 24 jerseys of the two were changed to No. 23, thinking that Jordan had changed teams.
However, although some people imitate the technological breakthrough, it is difficult to imitate it in place. If you have the spare time to imitate the technological breakthrough that others are good at, it is better to practice a breakthrough technique that you are good at.
But Liu Mang impressed Kidd so deeply that he actually learned it! Although I don't use it much, but come here suddenly, relying on the advantage of speed, it is really no worse than Marbury! If you count Marbury's slightly mediocre mid-range and long-range shots, Liu Mang has done even better!
Liu Mang dribbled the ball under his crotch and retreated slowly. Kidd did not dare to follow too closely but did not dare to relax. The most difficult point to prevent Marbury's tentative step breakthrough was that it was too tight to speed up, and too far away The opponent will have a better acceleration time, unless they retreat directly to the free throw line like Liu Mang defended against Francis, in order to avoid being accelerated.
But let’s not talk about Liu Mang, as far as Marbury’s 31% three-pointers are concerned, he dare not let go these years. Marbury is different from Francis. Francis shoots less when he is not allowed outside. When the waves rose, he shot more than 30 times and his shots flew up.
Not to mention Liu Mang, except for Ray Allen and Peja, there is no outside line in the league that dares to say that Liu Mang's three-pointer is better than Liu Mang's. The experience of staying in a location that is not far or near.
Suddenly, Liu Mang took a step back abruptly, stepped on a small step with both feet and bounced up. After landing, he ejected toward the front left.
Kidd, who was concentrating on it, quickly retreated, took a step to the back right and returned to the three-point line. Suddenly, Kidd suddenly realized that this must be a fake move, and hurriedly took another step to the back left.
really! As Kidd expected, after Liu Mang took a step forward to the left, before he was about to step into the three-point line, he kicked his left foot and made a big change of direction to the right!
At the same time as Liu Mang changed direction, Kidd just took a step towards the rear left. Liu Mang, Kidd, and the basket happened to be in a straight line!
Kidd was very proud, waiting for Liu Mang to come in and get stuck in his arms, then he could stretch out his salty pig's hand... No, it was sticking close to Liu Mang and trying to make Liu Mang make a mistake!
However, Liu Mang changed direction and stopped outside the three-point line! Grab the ball and throw a three-point shot!
Kidd was startled, screamed badly, and immediately rushed back, but Liu Mang had already jumped up, Kidd's outstretched hand was like a machine gun sight, and the ball thrown by Liu Mang flew over Kidd's head, Dive into the hoop!
Fast and accurate!
The third three-point shot by the Eagles finally hit!
At 7 to 13, Liu Mang hit a three-pointer, which finally resolved the crisis of being widened to 10 points.
Finally, when it was time for the Nets to attack, the Nets finally missed a three-pointer from the outside. Kittles missed a three-pointer after receiving Kidd's point.
Offensive rebounds can't be grabbed, but the Eagles still defend well on defensive rebounds. The Nets return to defense very quickly. Mutombo returns to defense much faster than Jason Collins. His decline is indeed serious, but his speed and movement It's still very good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play in the NBA in five or six years.
The Eagles and the Nets, the two counterattacking teams, both suppressed the rhythm. They didn't want the opponent to counterattack, so they had to fight for skills and tactics!
Liu Mang pushed forward and saw that Kidd's expression became ruthless because he was tricked by Liu Mang just now with a three-pointer.
Liu Manghe became ruthless, and the two competed!
After finishing this game tonight, maybe a chapter will be updated before 12 o'clock in a while, or it may be updated together in the early morning~
