1137. Hawks vs. Western All-Star United
The Eastern Force called a timeout!
When three goals are scored in a row, it is called a timeout!
It's really for real!
The fans watched more energetically, saw the tactical cooperation of the Western team, and saw the perfect use of the height difference by the Eastern team, all played a beautiful start, and the fans are looking forward to the next game.
Even Jordan and Olajuwon on the sidelines cheered up, this year's All-Star Game is very different!
Liu Mang returned to the bench and didn't use the tactical board or anything, replacing James and Iverson with Rasheed Wallace and Jason Terry.
Popovich, for his part, is also serious...... Helped Nash, Kobe, and Yao Ming arrange tactics and give them more playing time, in order to satisfy his sullen disciple's desire to have fun, Popovich did not replace Duncan, but replaced Garnett with Sean Marion.
……
After the pause, Liu Mang watched the other party replace a big forward, this thing he had guessed a long time ago, but it was Garnett who was replaced instead of Duncan, which made Liu Mang very surprised!
However, the fans at the scene were more excited about the appearance of the five Eagles All-Stars!
Hawks vs Western All-Star United!
East troops attack, front court ball.
After Liu Mang received the serve in the front court, he came to the top arc, and the defender who defended him was Marion, a defensive warrior who could defend from one to five.
Popovich looked at Marion and was really red-eyed, such a defensive gate actually fell to the Suns, if he was given it, it would definitely not be worse than Kirilenko.
Liu Mang saw that it was Kobe Bryant who was defending Maddy, so he passed the ball to Jason Terry, who was defending Nash.
After Jason Terry received the ball, Liu Mang ran to the most accurate three-point point at a 45-degree angle on the left side to open up the space.
Nash's pick-and-roll defense is incomparably poor...... It should be said that he is more than willing to defend any and acts actively, but he just can't prevent it, Kobe Bryant immediately switched defenses with Nash after Jason Terry bypassed the block and went to defend Terry.
For Bryant, preventing Maddy from scoring is not the point, as long as the Western Army wins, he has more points of his own, and the All-Star MVP is his.
Jason Terry immediately passed the ball to Maddy, and Maddie broke through in stride!
Nash couldn't stop anyone, Maddy burst inside, Duncan came up from the bottom right corner, Maddie gave the ball to Rasheed Wallace, and Rasheed Wallace made a three-point shot......
Hit!
7 to 6! The Eastern Force overtakes!
It's crazy! Fans at the scene saw the East Army use the Hawks five All-Stars against the Western All-Star Team, and it felt like living in a dream!
The point is that after the game continues, it will be crazier!
The five-man group on the Hawks' side is the strongest five-man group in the Hawks, Rasheed Wallace has a very good set of defense around Yao Ming, Duncan fell to the low post to play Kwame Brown, and it is not easy to play, mainly because of the decline in explosiveness, the last time the Spurs and the Hawks met, Duncan was mainly in the high post with his back, and the low post singles were about to reach the peak of Kwame Brown, and this time to vacate the high post to Kobe, Duncan played in the face of Kwame Brown in general.
Maddie went to defend Kobe, Jason Terry defended Nash, and Liu Mang defended Marion, and while playing, it actually became Nash's single score.
Marion, Kobe, Duncan's defense is very good, yes, Yao Ming has Duncan's help, and the defensive dominance under the basket is also very strong, but the tacit understanding is much worse, Nash's style of play that cuts inside after blocking and dismantling, Duncan and O'Neal are not playing well, and when Stoudemire practices his mid-range shooting in the reimbursement season next season, Nash has more experience and will definitely be able to do better, but now he is playing very unsuitably.
Kobe Bryant faced Maddy's singles, height suffered, Kobe Bryant has always used his tall stature to deal with opponents in the position of scoring guard, and Maddie has a lot of pressure on singles, although the one-on-one efficiency is not bad, with a 50% shooting rate.
But on the side of the Eastern Army, Liu Mang and Rashid Wallace's anti-demolition cooperation, Nash defense Liu Mang or Jason Terry, the two of them blocked and dismantled with Maddie, Maddie also shot the basketball, and the pass was passed, and about four minutes before the official timeout in the first quarter, the "Eagles" played a wave of 17-11!
By the sixth minute and forty seconds of the first quarter, the score became 21-17, and seeing that the difference was about to be stretched to the small dividing line of 5 points, Popovich called a timeout! The match went into an official suspension.
……
Liu Mang and his teammates returned to the bench, and the eastern troops were about to blow up!
The Eagles' five-man ...... It's invincible!
The all-star team with a bad tacit understanding can't do it!
"LeBron, Darko, Chris, you guys get ready to play in the second quarter, Tracy you go play small forward, Dwyan, Vince you go up to partner the guard line, Rashid you play a little longer, Shaq, do you want to play for a while?" Liu Mang was still very cautious when he finally asked O'Neill, this fat man...... It's as unpredictable as Kobe Bryant!
"Of course, Ace, you're going to lay out the tactics for me! I'm going to detain your compatriots! Let me dunk two and I'll pass Tracy. "O'Neill can't wait.
"Buckle button! Feel free to buckle! Liu Mang saw that O'Neill didn't feel like a demon, and immediately responded.
As a teammate of his national team, Liu Mang felt that Yao Ming should contribute.
Liu Mang immediately arranged the tactical play of the Heat team that Wade told him, Coach Kruger and Stockton wrote and remembered on the side, they informed Liu Mang two days ago that they wanted to pry out the tactics from Wade, and they didn't have time to ask Liu Mang during the day today, so they started to take notes now.
……
When the official pause, David Stern looked at the chart brought by the secretary, and the real-time ratings skyrocketed, and the first quarter was only halfway through, and the ratings in the United States have broken the historical record! That's more than Jordan's ratings before his retirement in 1998 and 2003! David Stern is going crazy with joy!
……
On the side of the Western Army, Popovich has been in the past few minutes, and the tactics he planned before were that Duncan played less, so if Garnett was a big forward in the second line, he could cooperate perfectly with Nash, and Kobe's off-ball play could also be liberated, Kobe and Duncan were the kind of players who seemed to have a low shooting rate, not just Kobe, Kobe's 45.00% shooting rate was definitely much better than most players, but compared to the historical superstars of the same level, it was a little worse, Duncan was the same, super power forward, His shooting percentage is the same as Nowitzki's, Garnett has a higher shooting percentage than Duncan in recent years, and both of them are very rare players who shoot in the open position, but both of them are very accurate in the open position, but they usually don't have the opportunity to shoot.
After all, they are the two best players in the league on the outside and inside.
Now Duncan is also addicted for a while, Popovich replaced Duncan, replaced Garnett, and Yao Ming partnered on the inside, and on the outside, Nash, Kobe, and Ray Allen played together.
It's important to consume the Lakers and Suns, but it's also important to win, and now it's all about it, and if Popovich loses, his face will be lost!
Losing to Coach Krueger in the regular season and finals, people will also say that the Hawks have more All-Stars, but if they lose seriously on this All-Star weekend, then they are really not as good as others.
……
After the timeout, both teams of All-Stars reappeared.
Rashid Wallace is a luxury enhanced version of Haslem, Maddie and Carter, and even more invincible extreme enhanced version of Jason Williams and Posey, Pat Riley watched this lineup from the sidelines and wanted to drool! It is very suitable for the tactical system of the Heat, to attack and attack, to defend and defend, and to be more accurate in three points!
This lineup is put together, not to mention three consecutive championships, four consecutive championships, he dares to roar out, and then squeeze a wave, and there is no need to catch Wade and O'Neal, the two sheep mattress wool, you can slowly mat one by one.
Pat Riley is the first head coach in NBA history to publicly announce that he will do it again next season after winning the championship, and there is nothing he would not dare to do, in order to win a championship in the short few years when Wade still has a rookie contract and the Heat does not have to pay too much luxury tax, he even dares to scrap a player like O'Neal, who can be called the best center in history.
West Force Possession of the ball, serve in frontcourt.
The enemies were very red when they met, O'Neill looked at the two enemies of the other party, and after coming up, he and Yao Ming were very serious.
Yao Ming's strength is in the NBA center, and there is no problem in ranking in the top three now, only two centers can make him suffer in the card position, one is when Eddie Curry of the Knicks is serious, and the other is O'Neal in front of him!
After Nash received Kobe's serve, he advanced to the top arc, facing Wade's defense, Kobe and Ray Allen took Maddy and Carter away, and Yao Ming couldn't get to a good position under the basket, but he could contain O'Neal, and now the Western team's lineup is more perfect.
Nash didn't continue his solo play against Wade's defense, and he scored eight points in the first half of the first quarter, but only had two assists.
Garnett came out to help Nash block Wade!
Garnett's blocking and dismantling is more comfortable than the blocking and dismantling that Stoudemire gave Nash, how real it is to block more, Wade can't get around, Garnett pretends to move continuously under his feet in the running position, blocking Wade to the death, and there is no action to push people or stop the opponent, even according to the rules of the regular season and even the finals, it can be blown or not, and he is a superstar, and he can't blow properly.
Rasheed Wallace switched to Nash and couldn't keep up at all, Garnett blocked Wade and ran over to block Carter, who was chasing Ray Allen, and Ray Allen had an empty spot in the bottom corner, and as soon as there was an empty space, Ray Allen received the ball and made a three-point shot......
Ray Allen comes up with his first three-pointer!
In terms of catching three-pointers, Ray Allen is the only one in the league! He can't beat Liu Mang by strong throwing, but he has a stronger grasp of the vacancy than Liu Mang!
Liu Mang didn't feel anything when he watched Ray Allen score, but he actively blocked Garnett, and didn't take the initiative to cut in to challenge O'Neal, which felt a little weird.
This guy seems to want to show his "selflessness" at the All-Star Game!
