Chapter 079: Good Opponent
ps: Thank you for killing the wolf 444 and deducting the 100 starting coins of the meat pot
Is Chris Paul familiar with such tactics?
He's all too familiar!
Because except for a Turkish center who shot from outside the 3-point line, for most of the entire first quarter. The Eagles www.biquge.info are all Sloanes. And after entering the alliance, who is CP3's lifelong enemy? Of course, it is the little fat man in the Utah Highlands.
Constant blocking, constant mid-range shots, plus tenacious defense. That's the standard jazz style.
If Larry Brown was here, he would have grabbed Mike Woodson by the collar and yelled, "What about defense and offense? You won a championship with the Pistons! Why do you want to learn the tactics of that loser in Sloan?"
Of course, Woodson was confused, and said helplessly: "I just emphasize defense and offensive autonomy! Who knows what kind of blocking and dismantling cooperation these stinky boys will play? Maybe Sloan didn't want Stockton and Malone to play blocking and dismantling back then, maybe these two guys discussed it themselves!"
What seems to be a clear history often does not stand up to scrutiny, but what looks vague often contains truth.
Paul, who has a handsome face, looks at the Hawks' bench from time to time, why do the Hawks play such a smooth pick-and-roll coordination?
Is it Joe Johnson? No, if that were the case, that kind of combination should have happened last season. After all, at that time, Josh Smith and Marvin Williams were in the lineup. But in reality, there was no such combination last season.
So, the answer is a definite one. The only one who has brought all this change is this year's No. 3 rookie - Kraft Nguyen.
It must be this Celestial Dynasty's stable mid-range shooting ability, so that Embarrassment is willing to pass the ball for him!(Brush up for himself!)
"I underestimate this Celestial Empire, he not only has super low-post finishing ability, but also has tactical mid-range shooting ability. That means he can play with and without the ball, and it's entirely possible that he's compatible with Joe Johnson!" Paul instantly understood the horror of this Hawks team.
As a top team leader, Chris Paul has never been swayed by the so-called media narratives.
The Eagles did have an impact on the team's existing first person because of the strong addition of the Celestial Empire. But that doesn't mean the two can't go hand in hand.
After all, Embarrassment is the Suns' third-master, or even fourth-in-command. It's also a good thing for boring people to say that Joe Johnson is not good at playing without the ball, and it is entirely possible that he will have a good chemistry with Nguyen Er Niu. This year's Atalanta is definitely not a belly team.
After the start of the second quarter, the main players of the two teams were replaced one after another. The game went into scoring time for Bobby Jackson, the bench bandit, despite the fact that the old guy is 34 years old this year. But once he enters the attack state, he can still deal a fatal blow to the opponent.
As the best sixth man of the year's gorgeous Kings team, Bobby Jackson is really a figure that can't be left unmentioned. If it weren't for the injury that plagued him, maybe he would have become an All-Star caliber player.
Jackson scored two three-pointers in a row, as well as a beautiful counter-attack assist.
Woodson decided to put his main players on the field early, and so far in the game, both teams seemed to see themselves in each other. After several seasons of hard work, both teams are eager to make a substantial breakthrough this season.
That being the case, this preseason isn't just about honing the squad.
It's a declaration battle for the new season between the two teams.
Hornets head coach Byron Scott saw the Hawks' substitutions and did not hesitate to replace the main team.
Croatian Stojakovic, who shot 0-3 in the first quarter, found his touch in this quarter.
As soon as Peja came on the court, he received a pass from Paul at a 45-degree angle, faced a lunar eclipse that was one step away from him, and hit a jumper to hit a 3-pointer. Lunar Eclipse sent the basketball into the basket, and he swore to God that he tried very hard to block it, but the opponent's point was a bit high.
The inner activity of the lunar eclipse at the moment is like this: Who said that this guy is 6 feet 9 inches (206cm), who am I anxious about!
Josh Smith doesn't need to be too angry, because it is also the tradition of some European players to report his height short, such as Tony Kukoc, the best sixth man of the Bulls dynasty, who is registered at 6'10". But the general sentiment among his Bulls teammates is that he's at least between 6'11" and 7'.
Once a good shooter finds his touch, he is often unstoppable on the offensive end. Peja hit back-to-back 3-pointers for the next two in-round rounds. If it weren't for the fact that during this period of time, Embarrassment and Ruan Erniu both ensured a good hit rate, the score would have been pulled away by the Hornets.
For a weak team to become a strong team, it must constantly improve its ability to play against the wind. The game of crushing the opponent is certainly exciting, but what really tests the team is the confrontation of biting the score and carrying the pressure on the body.
Paul dribbled the ball while shouting out to his teammates to run. He doesn't want to give up this preseason game easily, and the Atlanta Hawks are a good opponent.
Tyson Chandler again mentioned high post and Paul did the pick-and-roll, and the latter broke through the inside line to get the ball into Chandler's hands when facing Erniu's help defense.
Chandler sent the ball out with a throw, but Marvin Williams, who was shooting from the diagonal side, hit a beautiful block and fanned the ball to the rebound.
Ruan Erniu rose into the air, won the rebound, and after starting the "Wild Bull Sprint", he was like no man's land, killing the Wasps' basket, and a powerful tomahawk-style dunk completed the finish.
Whose credit should be given to this goal? Marvin Williams, of course, who helped defend in time.
On a deeper level, though, it's better to put the credit on Woodson's egghead. If it weren't for his repeated emphasis on the Pistons' shrink defense, such a beautiful block would not have been possible.
Why are they good opponents for the Hawks and the Hornets?
Because both sides are pushing the best of themselves out.
Last year, that is, in 06, the Heavenly Dynasty became popular with an academic star - Mr. Yi Xitian, and he has many classic quotations. Ruan Erniu himself studied history in college, although he did not agree with some of his views.
But Mr. Yi has a sentence that Ruan Erniu deeply resonates with: "To succeed, you need friends, and to achieve great success, you need enemies." ”
In today's game, Ruan Erniu and his Eagles found a good opponent.
David West hit another 18-foot shot, and Embarrassment then hit a 2-pointer from the horns.
The eclipse successfully shook off the defense and slashed the basket in the air. Peja immediately returned the favor with a precise 3-pointer.
The entire second quarter proceeds in an airtight rhythm. The defensive intensity and offensive and defensive transitions continue to increase, and both teams have a sense of playing against each other.
The half-time score came to 51:51, and the two teams were tied!
