Chapter 924 923. Continuous Deductions at the Beginning! (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets)
The pre-match activities were over. After Liu Mang finished spreading the powder, the starting players of the two teams came to the court.
The five major starters of the Hawks gathered together, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown appeared together.
For the Suns, Nash, Quentin Richardson, Joe Johnson, Shawn Marion, Stoudemire.
In today's game, the Eagles did not change to a mini lineup because the Suns' lineup was small. It has been proven that it is impossible to beat the opponent's rhythm and attack, so the Eagles are still normal. Tall lineup.
As soon as Liu Mang came on the stage, he heard the system prompt.
"Ding... Characteristics of the talent skill Son of the Wind: Triggered by Homecoming, the Suns team's fighting spirit is high. The morale of the host's team has dropped slightly due to the last loss to the Suns. It comes from Steve Nash."
As for the Suns, because they are a team that "promotes" running and gunning, even the Hawks "learn" from them in running and gunning. Their record is far ahead in the Western Conference, and the gap with the Hawks is not big. In addition, they won last time The Eagles are naturally very motivated. As long as Nash is around, they are so confident.
This is Nash's "centering" characteristic in the reminder given to Liu Mang by the system's digitization.
Without the Devil's home court, the opponent's morale was actually suppressed! Liu Mang had to think of a way to restore morale.
Wade's star card for a slam dunk? Or will Vin Baker's star card come up with a powerful dunk?
No, Liu Mang thought about it. Against this Suns team before they acquired a few dirty players such as Raja Bell and Kurt Thomas, offense was not a problem. The problem was morale and defense.
Liu Mang thought for a while and decided to just do it!
Kwame Brown and Stoudemire came to the center circle to jump the ball.
Kwame Brown took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and prepared for a jump ball. Stoudemire on the opposite side also jumped into the ball.
The two high school insiders, who are one year apart, have also played against each other in high school. They are both All-Stars this season. They did not get to compete against each other in the All-Star game. This time, the two are ready to compete. .
The referee looked at the positions of the two teams and found that there was no problem. He blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.
The last time Kwame Brown lost to Stoudemire, he didn't miss it this time! The moment the ball thrown by the referee reached its highest point, Kwame Brown suddenly jumped up and touched the ball first!
Stoudemire jumps faster, but Kwame Brown reacts faster!
Kwame Brown pushed the ball backwards.
"Cool!" Liu Mang saw the ball flying over and praised Kwame Brown in his heart. He ran up to the ball and jumped up. Liu Mang caught the ball and pushed it in the direction of McGrady. After landing, he followed the trend from the left half. The field rushes towards the frontcourt!
The Suns head coach's tactics do not consider defense, but that does not mean that the players don't defend. They just have to rush down the defense and the passer as soon as possible during the counterattack, otherwise there will be no blocks and steals.
Stoudemire moved sideways to the right in an attempt to hinder Liu Mang's immediate move, but Kwame Brown, who was extremely excited after winning the jump ball, directly picked and rolled him in the middle!
Liu Mang rushed from the left half to the frontcourt without any hindrance.
When Liu Mang came to the three-point line, McGrady, who received Liu Mang's non-stop pass, had already entered the three-point line from the right half and went directly to the basket!
Big Q and Marion double-teamed McGrady. The first goal in the opening game was very important. They didn't want McGrady to dunk directly. McGrady was moving too fast. Kwame Brown helped Liu Mang block Stade. Meyer went, and Rasheed Wallace hadn't cut into the inside. After being stuck by Marion, McGrady entered the three-second zone from the right side of the three-second zone, and ran out from the left side of the three-second zone. At this time, Liu Mang happened to rush into the three-second zone from the free throw line, and McGrady immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang.
The moment Liu Mang received the ball, he faced an empty basket and a perfect dunk opportunity. At this time, the system prompt came!
"Ding...Fancy dunk level 5 trigger, waist and abdominal strength, back strength, right shoulder strength increase, this dunk is..."
Liu Mang received the ball with his right hand, grabbed the ball firmly with one hand, took a step forward, stepped into the free throw line with his left foot, suddenly jumped up, turned 180 degrees in the air, bent his body forward in the air, and when he reached the highest point, he suddenly Stretching the ground, he grabbed the ball with his right hand from bottom to top, turned his back to the basket and chopped the ball down!
"Bang..."
Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket!
Turn 180 degrees and turn your back to the tomahawk!
Hearing the system prompt, Tomahawk dunk, Liu Mang did not perform a simple Tomahawk dunk, but forced a turn. Anyway, one of the opponent's "insiders" had already been taken away, and the other insider had just entered the three-point line. He wanted to Play hard!
Fortunately, there was no dunk, and the 180-degree turn with the back tomahawk was completed!
"Ding... the host completed a wonderful dunk, the morale of the Hawks rose sharply, and the morale of the Suns declined slightly."
Liu Mang didn't need to listen to the system prompts. After seeing himself perform a slam dunk contest-style dunk at the beginning, his teammates on the sidelines jumped with excitement. McGrady even ran back in excitement, and he I know this dunk made my teammates happy.
The fans at the scene also said "Oh...", the sound was low, not cheering, but the sound of booing after being surprised.
However, Liu Mang felt as if he had hit something just now, but it did not hinder him. He turned around and saw that Nash was being pulled up by Marion. Did he knock down the Son of the Wind?
Liu Mang immediately ran back, and Nash was knocked down. The Suns' first fast break did not start, which was a pleasant surprise.
Nash was so frustrated. Marion and Big Q went after McGrady just now. When Liu Mang received the ball, the basket was empty. Nash immediately rushed in to block Liu Mang, but Liu Mang "saw" him do something more fancy, turning 180 degrees in the air. He rushed up angrily and prepared to hit Liu Mang, and then he was knocked out of the baseline by Liu Mang's enhanced impact...
Originally, when the Suns were in high morale, Liu Mang's fancy dunk could at most restore their morale and not be affected by the Suns' fighting spirit, but Nash became a background, and the Suns' morale was slightly damaged.
The Suns fell into a positional battle at the beginning, which made Nash very uncomfortable. Stoudemire, like Kwame Brown, Howard, and Garnett, is a jump ball expert who never loses two jump balls in a season. It’s okay if there is no fast break at the beginning. If they lose a jump ball occasionally, they can immediately organize a counterattack. This time, they fell into a positional battle at the beginning, and Nash felt weird.
Strange, Nash received the serve and quickly advanced to the front court, and Prince immediately defended him.
After having the experience of facing the completely different Nash now, Prince has more experience in defending Nash, and he is better at giving Nash physical contact and predicting Nash’s movement.
Facing the defense of Prince, who is known as the strongest single defense expert in the league, Nash had a hard time playing singles, which was much more difficult than playing against Liu Mang and McGrady. He waved to Stoudemire to come out for a pick-and-roll.
Stoudemire came out to help Nash block Prince, and Kwame Brown followed.
At the moment when Prince made a move to go around the pick-and-roll, Stoudemire, who had not yet blocked anyone, immediately turned around and ran back to the inside line, wanting to repeat the previous game, but this time Kwame Brown was prepared and pressed towards Stoudemire, and the two came to the outside of the reasonable collision zone together.
Nash immediately passed the ball to Stoudemire. Although Stoudemire failed to directly attack the basket, this counter-run had allowed him to enter the basket. He could not squeeze Kwame Brown even if he tried his best to block normally. After receiving the ball, Stoudemire jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket!
The little bully is so powerful... "Snap"... "Bang"...
Liu Mang rushed into the inside line when Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire. Seeing that Stoudemire really received the ball and wanted to dunk without hesitation, Liu Mang jumped from behind Stoudemire and slapped the ball that Stoudemire was about to dunk with an accurate slap. The ball hit the backboard and bounced back.
Prince turned and grabbed the ball, Liu Mang immediately ran to the front court, Prince passed the ball to McGrady, McGrady made a long pass to the front court.
Liu Mang rushed to the opponent's three-point line and received the ball in one step, and attacked the basket directly!
"Ding... Fancy dunk level 5 triggered..."
Liu Mang didn't care what the most suitable dunk was in the fancy dunk prompt. After taking off, he switched the ball to his left hand, pulled his body back like a bow, and after reaching the highest point, he chopped the ball into the basket with his left hand!
Left-handed tomahawk dunk!
After two consecutive dunks, the fans at the scene didn't know what to say, so they booed!
The overwhelming boos were given to Liu Mang, which was the highest respect and hostility of the fans to their opponents.
The fans watching the game in front of the TV were more surprised to see this scene than the fans at the scene, because it looked like a replica of the previous dunk, except that the previous one was a tomahawk with the right hand behind the back, and this time it was a normal tomahawk!
Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson smiled at each other on the sidelines. Not to mention the whole game, at least at the beginning of the game, the tactics worked!
The most difficult thing about playing against the Suns is the rhythm, which is faster than the fastest rhythm of the Hawks, and the faster the opponent's rhythm, the more accurate the shot. So they thought about it for a whole month and finally determined some ways to deal with the Suns. First of all, the first tactic is to attack the basket on the offensive end, reasonably reduce the shots from the outside, and reduce the ball directly bounced to the outside and grabbed by the opponent and then counterattacked.
At the same time, try to defend as much as possible when defending. Regardless of whether it can be defended or not, you have to counterattack on your side.
The key point is that when counterattacking, only one or two people will directly attack the opponent's basket. If the counterattack succeeds, retreat. If it fails, fall into position. Pay attention to retreat at any time when falling into position, and focus on attacking the basket. The other three quickly retreat to prevent the opponent's fast break three-pointers and attacking the basket.
From the beginning, it seems that the targeted tactics have worked!
Cook, eat, and rest. The next chapter will be before 12 o'clock.
