Chapter 643: Maintain Confidence and Counterattack Casually
"Well done! There's nothing to be afraid of with a 73-win team. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Defend more tightly against the rest of the Eagles, try not to trap the Celestial Empire in the high post, and if he is going deep in the low post, wrap him up at the first time and don't give him any chance to make a move......"
Mike Brown's black bread is also holding back his strength to prove himself on the stage of the East Finals.
Without the Atlanta Hawks, the Cleveland Cavaliers would have been almost unbeatable in the 08-09 season, after all, the Lakers next door showed super strength as early as last season, and they were far less impressive than the Cavaliers this season.
Mike Brown and LeBron James, who single-handedly directed it all, should also be strong contenders for COY and MVP, but the Atlanta Hawks with 73 wins shattered the Cleveland dream.
When the league faced the all-time first 73 wins, it also had to make compromises.
gave the glory of winning the best coach for the first time in history to Mike Woodson, the egg head, and the MVP was won by Ruan Erniu without any suspense.
James's role was only to prevent the Great Demon King of the Celestial Empire from being elected by unanimous vote.
IF KING IS POWERLESS IN THE FACE OF KRAFT RUAN, THEN MIKE BROWN, WHO IS BLACK INTO A PIECE OF BREAD, IS UNCONVINCED BY WOODSON.
Just kidding, they're both defensive coaches in the same vein, and they're all playing on superstars, so why can you stand on top of my head with an extra beard? )
Well, these are just unscrupulous media sowing discord, what exactly Mike Brown thinks, no one knows, but one thing is certain.
After two tie-breaks, the Cleveland people who came to the East finals have already gathered the strongest willpower.
What about 73 wins?
We're here to win, there's no second option!
The Cavaliers continue to boost morale, Mike Woodson has just finished his blower mode in the home locker room, and almost every Hawks player has been trained by Eggheads!
"I won't say any more tactical requirements, because you don't even have the most basic professional attitude! I don't care how much energy you expended in the nightclub last night, as long as you get on the field, you have to give me 120% effort!"
Egghead has really wronged a lot of people, because the vast majority of Hawks players don't dare to go to nightclubs in the crucial playoffs, and they will also think about the impact.
What really made them fall behind their opponents in the first quarter was their relaxation and discomfort with the intensity of the game.
8:0 was too much, and they weren't prepared enough to meet a bloody army that had been killed in a row from the robbery.
Ruan Erniu, as the leader of the team, stood up uncompromisingly, and he said with a smile: "Guys, I bragged to Greg Sager before the game, saying that we would take out the Cavaliers in a sweeping way and advance to the finals.
For the sake of my cowhide being blown off, you can reluctantly kill them!"
Speaking of which, the atmosphere that had been very depressed by Woodson just now suddenly became cheerful.
Kraft is right that as a team that has made history, the Eagles should have the momentum to face any enemy.
You knights just took advantage of our unpreparedness and played a good game, and we can teach you how to be a man in a minute!
Self-confidence can be transformed into arrogance, but self-confidence is also a manifestation of strength.
As long as they are not arrogant, self-confident people are more likely to achieve success and the courage to forge ahead.
The Hawks did slowly regain their confidence after a stunned first quarter and a stalemate in the second quarter, and the source of this confidence came from their season-long strength guarantee.
"Okay, the players are back on the pitch and let's take a look at the second half. Kevin Harlan said in the commentary booth at TNT.
On the offensive end of the Cavaliers, Mo Williams took advantage of Vallejo's cover, shook off Bibby with the ball, and drove all the way to the penalty area.
The lunar eclipse immediately chose to change his defense, forming an obstacle in front of Xiao Mo to prevent him from directly attacking the basket.
Change speeds, change directions, pause, shoot!
Mo Williams is a standard two-way guard, doing SG work with PG's height.
The problem is that his scoring consistency in the playoffs is nowhere near as great as in the regular season.
In the regular season, Xiao Mo's shooting rate was 46.7%, which can be said to be the most reliable helper around James, but in the playoffs, his data instantly fell to 40.8%, or even lower, and immediately became a cancer on the court.
It should be said that with his ability, it is not enough to assume the status of the second leader of the knight, but reality has pushed him to this position.
"Bang!"
The iron is struck!
The eclipse was well defended and gave Mo Williams plenty of defensive pressure.
Ruan Erniu grabbed the backcourt rebound and immediately turned on the counterattack mode.
A dragon struck directly at the knight's backfield, and only one person by his side followed......
It's James!
The two team leaders are together!
"Whoosh!", "Whoosh!"
Two non-humans flew into the air at the same time, Erniu in front and James in the back.
James raised his arms high, ready to block at any time, but Ruan Erniu did not have the slightest intention of backing down, he tried his best to stretch his body and took the initiative to find a confrontation with James in the air.
"Bang!"
The two sides made physical contact in the air, and the two monsters with far more physical talents than ordinary people actually fell in different directions in an instant.
"Toot!"
The referee's whistle sounded, and James' foul was fine.
In the process of falling, Ruan Erniu did not let go of the last opportunity, and when the dunk failed, he changed the dunk to throw and struggled to pull the ball out.
"Brush!"
It's very simple, it's the sound of a ball going into a net.
However, before that, Ruan Erniu and James had already fallen to the floor in advance.
Over there, Delonti West and Vallejo picked up James, and here Salmons and the two of them pulled Ruan Erniu up.
The two team leaders stared at each other, and they finally had a fateful showdown.
Ruan Erniu almost grazed James's shoulder to the free throw line, and after adjusting his breathing, he hit the free throw steadily.
Since then, the Hawks have started their comeback wave in the third quarter.
But James is also not soft-handed, and also gave his own response on the offensive end.
LeBron James finished with 13 points, two rebounds and two assists on 5-of-8 shooting, 1-of-2 three-pointers and 2-of-4 free throws in the quarter.
But two fists are hard to beat four hands after all.
When Ruan Erniu continued to make kills on the inside, allowing Big Z to go off the court early, when he came off the bench, Ben Wallace, who had long since lost his bravery, was ravaged by Ruan Erniu in various ways, and when the other players of the Cavaliers were like the Hawks in the first quarter, repeatedly missed shots, and were even defended by the Hawks for 24 seconds......
No matter how well James played, it was difficult to stop the Hawks from playing a wave of offensive climaxes in the second half of the third quarter.
At 19:35, the Hawks outscored the Cavaliers by 16 points in a single quarter, thus surpassing the opponent by 5 points with a score of 82:87 and entering the final quarter of the game.
It has become the norm for the Hawks to mess with them in the third quarter.
So far, no team has been able to find an effective way to stop the Hawks' offensive frenzy.
No, to be precise, it should be the Hawks' sudden acceleration in the third quarter, and the league's best offensive and defensive conversion efficiency has been overwhelming so far.
Although D'Antoni has always felt that the Eagles' small-ball is not authentic, after the Eagles won the championship last year, he has to admit that the Eagles are indeed using another way to take the small-ball tactics to the extreme.
And countless pundits are also debating whether the Eagles are leading a new basketball trend.
James did his best, and by the end of the third quarter, he had 39 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.
It's just that in the face of Ruan Erniu's 38 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists, and the strong strength of the Hawks as a whole, even James gradually felt desperately helpless.
