After the start of the second quarter, the Hawks replaced Maddie with a lineup of Jason Terry, Iguodala, David Lee, and Mourning.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan continued to be the playmaker on the court, with the lineup of Udri, Ginobili, Finley and Nesterovic continuing to play.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry opened up the mode of who feels good and who plays in the middle distance.

The scorching situation continued, and by the middle of the second quarter, the score was still scorching, except for Mourning and David Lee with too many fouls on their backs, the Hawks were not at a disadvantage, but they did not have an advantage, and the two teams tied at 37 and entered the official timeout.

The pace is very slow, but the efficiency of the two teams is not too low, with a shooting rate of about 45 percent, mainly because the Spurs' style of play with Duncan as the core of the organization this year is difficult to defend, and the Hawks' side Liu Mang and Jason Terry, two mid-range shooting masters, have not been able to make really effective restrictions; The Eagles don't have much to do with Ginobili who plays the sixth man, this guy is the Spurs' most scoring player right now, he is in good shape today, all kinds of breakthrough points, Rao is Liu Mang's defensive strength has been greatly improved, and he can't be restricted, Ginobili, who is at his peak, has great flaws, but it is impossible to prevent him from being in normal condition.

To say that the Spurs' skills and tactics are very good, and the cooperation is excellent, but this rhythm, even if they play smoothly with the cooperation, the fans are drowsy.

On the contrary, it is the profligate singles on the Hawks' side, which is more pleasing to the fans, and the comparison of the playing styles of the two sides has made the impression of the Hawks and the Spurs in the minds of domestic fans have changed qualitatively.

The Spurs' style of play is even more annoying.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, even if not every fan will watch this game, the ratings are even higher than last year's finals when most people across the country are on holiday and most people are at home.

After returning from an official timeout, the Hawks fielded the Three Eagles plus Josh Smith and Kwame Brown on their side.

The Spurs, for their part, re-switched to Parker and Duncan, plus Muhammad, Sprewell and Finley.

There is still not much gap between the two teams, on the Hawks' side, Liu Mang is not in a hurry after a while, let the coaching staff slowly study the tactics and playing style to deal with this game, he and Maddy, Jason Terry just use their personal ability and opponent to contend with each other.

It feels good and has the opportunity to soar a few times in a row, and if you can't soar, you will work hard to bite the score with the other party.

At the same time, Liu Mang is still working hard to learn Duncan's high-level strategy, and there is really nothing to say about the basic skills, Liu Mang is really envious of Duncan's high-level strategy.

Seeing Duncan take advantage of the excellent vision brought by his height advantage, he can send the ball to his teammates as soon as his teammates cut in, regardless of whether he can send assists or not, but that kind of passing and cutting can undoubtedly disrupt the defense of the Hawks, then Duncan's purpose of pulling to the high post has been done, Duncan comes to the high post, and the Hawks' interior line is bound to come out, and the Spurs have a chance to play with tactical cooperation.

And such a high-level strategy, Liu Mang really can't learn it!

There is a saying that you can learn anything, but you can't learn height.

Liu Mang thought of another interior player who is famous for his high-level strategy, who is also a living star who calls himself a big forward but is a center, not Garnett, but Gasol!

Liu Mang felt a pity that Rashid Wallace now has no personal offensive threat, but there is no way, Rashid Wallace came to the Hawks at the peak, and the assist changed the style of play to focus on defense and three-pointers, and air cutting, at this time it is impossible to transform towards this aspect, at that time the Hawks were the first generation of Three Eagles to score, the whole team to defend the style of play, at that time there was no need for high positions.

Liu Mang felt that if he had an inside line on his side who could cooperate with him in a high position like this...... It will be much easier to organize your own attack.

Duncan is the core of the organization, but he is not the one who gets assists, and the assists are basically concentrated in the four outside linemen of Parker, Ginobili, Finley, and Sprewell.

At halftime, the Hawks and Spurs were tied at 49-50 and temporarily trailed by one point.

……

Back in the locker room, Liu Mang already understood that to play Spurs, you have to play Super Giant Planet.

And, to beat the Spurs, the need for superstars is stronger than ever!

If the team wants to win the Spurs, it will not be possible for the Pinstons to come to the pinnacle of the original time and space.

Ginobili had 11 points and 4 assists in the half, a beep, Sprewell had 6 points and 2 assists, Duncan had 8 points and 6 boards, Udri and Finley each made a three-pointer, and Muhammad ate a cake and ate 6 points......

Although the Spurs' team play style is not as perfect as after Popovich got to hell and began to fall in love with the three-point game, it has begun to take shape, and this situation came much earlier than the original, mainly because he didn't win the championship last year, Bowen was abolished by Liu Mang, and the Spurs were forced to move forward.

It is said that Popovich made Duncan, but in fact, it may be the opposite, maybe Duncan's talent to adapt to the style of play of any era has made Popovich.

Just watching the video and studying the report given by the scouts, I just know that the Spurs are ranked first in the West this year, but the Spurs have always been the team with the best record in the West, and the Lakers have won three consecutive championships once in the West, and the Spurs are almost the first in the West at other times, so I don't have much feeling.

I feel that the Spurs have a high shooting rate this year and have played well with them.

But now, the Hawks players and coaching staff know how terrifying this stability is for the Spurs!

Liu Mang scored 18 points in the half, Maddie scored 10 points in the half, Jason Terry scored 6 points in the first quarter, and the Hawks scored 34 points, and the team only scored 49 points.

There really isn't a good way to deal with the Spurs' excellent three-point and basket defense, and at halftime, the Hawks are ready to fully enter the mode of playing superstars.

……

After halftime, on the Hawks' side, Liu Mang and Maddy continued to play, and did not send pitchers, rather than looking for pitchers to create space for Liu Mang and Maddie, it was better for them to come by themselves, and the front court sent Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown to the lineup.

On the Spurs' side, after halftime, the troika was all on the line, with Mohammed and Finley on the pitch.

"System boss, crazy with little Jimmy."

"The host used the madness of special Kajimi Butler, and when the host successfully shot in this quarter, the three-point shooting percentage was at least fifty percent."

It's a bit wasteful to use this in a regular season, but Liu Mang only made two three-pointers in the first half!

If this situation continues, Liu Mang will not be able to complete the task of eight three-pointers in a single game, and this game must beat the Spurs, and the Ginobili foul has been completed twice, a 2+1 and a mid-distance foul to make two fouls, and now there are still 6 three-pointers, causing a Ginobili foul, and then, there is a victory!

Curry's star card is much more crucial than a special card.

The effect of this special card, just like that quarter of the game, to experience the star card of the strongest pitcher in history, brings a long-lasting effect!

Although Liu Mang felt that he was stumbling to the end on his side, he would not lose to the other side at the critical moment.

Liu Mang is very confident in this, but in this way, he cannot guarantee that his task can be successfully completed.

If you die to the end, you can't pay attention to what your data is, you can only look for the advantage points that can still be used as much as possible like in the first half, and the opponent is bound to prevent his three points, but the most important part of his task is just the three-point shot!

……

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs attacked, Parker pushed to the frontcourt, and he only scored two points in the first half, but he successfully contained Liu Mang's defense.

But this time, after Parker advanced to the frontcourt, he saw that it was Maddie who was defending him!

Liu Mang didn't go to defend Parker, but to defend Ginobili, who performed very well in the first half.

Maddie, Iguodala, and Prince didn't defend Ginobili well, and Liu Mang directly opposed Ginobili.

Parker burned off time and handed the ball to Duncan in the high post, and after Duncan received the ball, the Spurs' run began.

Ginobili was chased by Liu Mang, not as easy as the first half, Liu Mang's speed followed him, limiting Ginobili's air cut, the Hawks lineup is very fast, whenever the Spurs have a player who just has a vacancy to receive the ball to shoot, the Hawks have already blocked it.

In the end, the ball reached Parker, and Parker's small throw inside the free throw line was not scored under the interference of Iguodala who switched in position, and Maddie grabbed the defensive rebound!

The Spurs' current style of play requires a lot of stability on the offensive end, otherwise there won't be too many offensive rebounds, after all, Duncan pulled to the top of the game.

Mike Woodson studied for so long in the first half, although he couldn't completely limit the opponent's offense, but he also had a clear defensive focus, and what was revealed was Parker!

But more importantly, the offense, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and the defensive end could be limited from the opponent's lineup with fewer three-point points, but for the opponent's defense, there was no particularly good tactic to deal with.

Liu Mang advanced to the front court, Ginobili pasted up, this time Ginobili did not stretch out his hand, in the first half he defended Liu Mang four times, and Liu Mang got 4 free throws.

Liu Mang didn't care if it was his habitual shooting point, under the defensive action pushed by Ginobili, Liu Mang came to the left side of the top arc, faced Ginobili's defense, and the three points soared directly!

Ginobili didn't react, didn't pass the ball to Maddie, didn't fall to the high post?
