Chapter 328: The Long-Awaited Tactic
The Hawks will only bounce back after the timeout, and the lunar eclipse will be the main direction of the Hawks during the final period. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He took advantage of the mismatch to beat James Posey in the low post and hit several shots in a row to finally get a little bit back.
The Eagles' current offensive strategy is very clear, once there is a misalignment, they will resolutely play the misalignment, and they must maximize the advantage of the misalignment. (It can be big and small, or small and big)
At 53:59, relying on the last wave of the first half of the game, the Hawks still controlled the score gap between the two teams to within 10 points.
Woodson's face finally looked a little better, though the result still didn't satisfy him.
Speaking to CSN at halftime, Green Kai coach Ha Doc said: "The Eagles must not be treated as a youth army. They are a team that has the quality to challenge for a championship and we have to be vigilant and defensive.
Of course, we won't choose to pack Kraft Nguyen either, we need to get the other Hawks players. ”
If it is in the regular season, River Document may still be secretive about his defensive tactics, but in the playoffs, everyone knows everything, so there is no need to hide.
In the Hawks' locker room, the players sat together in twos and threes discussing the trend of the game, while Woodson closed his eyes and recuperated on the sidelines.
They have all reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and the players themselves must have the pursuit and ideas of honor.
It didn't take long for Ruan Erniu to gather his teammates and take the initiative to say to Woodson: "In the second half of the third quarter, we are ready to send the 'Hawks Raid'!"
Woodson said seriously: "But you also have to be prepared to be studied by the opponent, no tactic can be perfect, you have to be mentally prepared for the moment when the opponent cracks this tactic." ”
Woodson was a man who was prepared for danger in times of peace, and he wasn't wrong in his thinking.
Of course, he hoped that this day would come later, but at the same time, he knew very well that this day would come sooner or later.
It would be foolish to expect any kind of tactic to win the world.
That's how basketball has evolved, and it doesn't change because of anyone's intervention.
Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "If it is cracked so easily, it can only prove that the value of this set of tactics is not as great as we imagined, but I don't think the Celtics will react so quickly!"
Erniu also makes sense, to be honest, the Celtics up and down, although they also studied the Hawks' elimination of the Pistons, but in their opinion, the Hawks' "Hawks raid", in the final analysis, is similar to RUN-GUN, in this case, the Spurs' way to deal with the Suns is ready-made.
In Green Kai's view, this style of play similar to RUN-GUN, too sacrificing the defensive end, there is no market at all in the playoffs, the reason why the Pistons lost is that they lost the main center Antonio McDyce, and the lack of interior defense is the biggest shortcoming of the Pistons.
Green Kai doesn't have this trouble now, and their lineup is very neat.
"We did a good job in the first half, and in the second half they probably came up with the same tactics against the Pistons, but it doesn't matter, we just need to do our best, defend well, and the victory will be ours!"
While the locker room was discussing the tactics of the "Hawks Raid", and in the commentary bench, there was no discussion of the Hawks-style "RUN-GUN", but Tom Heinsohn and his partner Mike Gorman were divided on this issue.
Heinsohn said: "I don't think the birdies' tactics are great, they just copy the Suns' tactics.
In fact, because they don't have a good ball handler like Nash, their offensive fluidity is a little worse. And it's a well-known fact that run-and-gun tactics can seriously affect the team's defensive quality, and I don't think they can cause problems for the Celtics. ”
Mike Gelman retorted: "OLD MAN, I THINK YOU'RE BIASED AGAINST 'RUN-GUN' TACTICS AND STUFF, BUT I THINK THE HAWKS' TACTICS ARE SOMEHOW BETTER THAN THE SUNS'.
Because they have enough rebounding guarantees, at this point, the Suns are much inferior to the Hawks, and the comparison of basketball strength is largely the comparison of the team's shortcomings, and the Hawks are likely to subvert history. ”
Heinsohn said dissatisfiedly: "Are you a defector?"
Gelman spread his hands and said, "I'm just on the side of truth!"
The old fellow Heinsohn shook his wit and immediately replied: "The 'truth' is on our side!"
In fact, they were not only discussing the Hawks' counterattack in the third quarter, but even in the TNT studio hall, they were not idle.
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, the golden pair, are also discussing this tactic, after all, the Hawks used it to take away the Pistons in waves, and this tactic naturally became the focus of discussion after dinner.
Kenny Smith said: "The Hawks are going to use this trick in the second half of the third quarter, so the question is, Charles, do you think the Bostonians will be able to withstand the Hawks' offense?"
"I don't think Boston can withstand the Hawks' attack, they only see the fast offensive and defensive rhythm of the Hawks after the change of formation, but they ignore the fact that the Hawks are equally strong on the defensive end," Barkley said.
I think the Hawks are playing an upgraded version of the small-ball game right now, and they're making history. ”
Smith laughed, "Do you remember the time when you were on the Suns?"
Barkley said: "The Suns weren't slow to play back then, and we were defensive!"
In this regard, Barkley does have the right to laugh at D'Antoni, because his Suns reached the Finals, although they were killed by Jordan's Bulls.
But at least it proves that Barkley's Suns are very competitive in the playoffs.
On the contrary, the Sunstorms led by D'Antoni have never performed well in the playoffs, even the Lakers with a single core Kobe Bryant can drag them into danger for a while, let alone the Spurs team that firmly suppressed them.
Ross Barkley once quipped on a show: "A great team needs tough defense, but most players like to run and shoot." Over the past few years, the Suns' style of basketball has been one of effeminity. ”
D'Antoni's response was: "He's an actor!"
Well, they are all people who led the sun to the apex of the alliance for a time, and it is normal for them to look down on each other, and when it comes to historical status, even if they are not literati, they can be taken lightly.
But Barkley is right about one thing, and that is that the Hawks' defense is definitely not as weak as everyone thinks, and playing fast does not mean that there is no defense.
The televised footage cuts back to the scene again, and the second half of the game begins.
At the beginning, Woodson did not directly come up with the "Hawks raid", he still continued the starting lineup in the first half, and in the pre-game tactical arrangement, they also designed it this way, focusing on the physical strength of the old guys of the Celtics first.
Ruan Erniu held the ball in the low post, he first launched an impact on Perkins at the beginning of the second half, a feint to shoot up, Ruan Erniu instantly entered the penalty area, and in the face of Garnett's supplemental defense, Ruan Erniu pulled a lever to avoid the opponent and threw the ball into the basket with a backhand.
