The Eagles started the game with a wave of 8-2!

The Suns called a timeout!

Except for Quentin Richardson's mid-range jumper with two points, the Suns didn't score a point in the first three minutes!

The Suns played awkwardly from the time they lost the jump ball and were taken the initiative by the Hawks.

Mike Woodson asked Liu Mang to defend the big Q, in addition to Liu Mang's good physical strength and running with the big Q, he also wants to use Liu Mang's better defense, the single defense Liu Mang is not as good as Prince, and may be slightly inferior to Maddie, who focuses on defense and passing, but his ability to assist in defense is better, and Liu Mang's all-round defense is better.

Liu Mang was not afraid of confrontation, dared to collide with Stoudemire, actively pinched Stoudemire with Kwame Brown, and consciously put the Suns' starting big Q with the worst scoring ability in the outside to shoot.

Quentin Richardson is a player that the Hawks coaching staff has studied in depth, and in fact, the characteristics of the eight players in the Suns' main rotation have been studied by the Hawks coaching staff.

Since the loss to the Suns, the Hawks coaching staff has treated the Suns as an imaginary opponent in the Finals second only to the Spurs, and has studied the games since the Suns' preseason games.

After research, it was found that Suns head coach D'Antoni didn't know why he was keen on the eight-man rotation, and if the main team had enough physical strength, he would like to play the five-man rotation until the end of the game.

It's not just D'Antoni who is weird, the whole Suns are weird, Stoudemire showed a talent for mid-range shooting last season, and this season he didn't shoot, and so far this season has dunked 213 baskets, second only to O'Neal's 245.

Second and third are a gap between the Straits of Malacca, with third Kwame Brown dunking 101 baskets so far, and the three of them are the only three players in the league to have more than 100 dunks so far.

That is, Stoudemire averaged nearly 8 points per game by dunks.

Nash is also weird and likes to lick sweat with his tongue without rubbing magnesium powder.

Joe Johnson is facing the defender's single long-range shooting accuracy than the counterattack open shot, of course, Joe Johnson is also very accurate in the open three-point range, 46 percent three-point shooting, but one-on-one singles are a little more accurate, single three-point shooting rate is as high as 51 percent......

Sean Marion, on the other hand, has a very different style from the Suns but fits in well, and he loves to defend.

Loving defense is not a problem, but in the Suns, they love defense, and they also play the defensive efficiency of the league second only to Duncan and Rasheed Wallace with a height of two meters and one, which is strange enough, and the team that plays against the Suns, the big forward plays the worst, including Duncan scored less than 15 points in two of the three games against Marion.

But Sean Marion's offensive efficiency, which ranks sixth among the league's power forwards, makes him a perfect fit for the Suns.

And the most bizarre thing is Quentin Richardson, who doesn't run to catch the ball and throw, and can't shoot!

Quentin Richardson averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game this season, ranking third in the league, second only to Ray Allen's 3.1 three-pointers per game and Liu Mang's 3.8 three-pointers per game, but the strange thing is that he shot 41 percent from the field after running long distances, but only 29 percent from the field!

This left Mike Woodson brainstorming and putting up an unimaginable defense to empty the league's third-best three-point shot this season!

Of course, it's not pure emptying, that's looking for death, but skillful emptying.

First of all, the retreat defense must be done well, no matter whether you can play or not, you must firmly control the defensive position and let the Suns fall into the positional battle as much as possible.

Then, Maddie and Rasheed Wallace went to mark Marion and Joe Johnson's open threes, Marion was a little bit harder, the guy had the open cut, but Joe Johnson didn't have the ability to run.

Liu Mang, Kwame Brown, and Prince strictly executed Mike Woodson's defensive strategy, forcing the Suns to concentrate the ball in the hands of Nash and Stoudemire, freeing up a large gap in the top arc to block and dismantle Nash and Stoudemire, and then when Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire, Liu Mang and Kwame Brown pinched Stoudemire.

The defensive strategy is simple and crude, but it works!

The main thing is that the Suns didn't let the Suns run and bombard, although the Suns' positional battle offense is also very strong, but Mike Woodson played a little different this time, and after Stoudemire received the ball, Big Q had already run out of the gap and stopped, at this time Stoudemire passed the ball to Big Q three times, but Big Q only hit one shot on the left side of the free throw line, and the two empty three-pointers were iron!

The issue of tempo is not much of a problem for a superstar like Nash, a player like Stoudemire who has the quality of a top star under Nash's passes, or even a first-class star like Joe Johnson and a real top star like Marion.

But for a role player like Quentin Richardson, who relies heavily on the rhythm of his shots, the problem is bigger.

Big Q is great this season, the Suns' most wave scorer, but the shooting rate is only 38 percent, and the three-point shooting rate is not bad, 36 percent, but the rhythm is not right, it plays very poorly, and it relies too much on the rhythm, otherwise the Suns spent 6 years and 50 million yuan last summer to recruit Big Q, and they played very well, or the Suns ran the hardest, and conscientiously helped the Suns create the peak of running and bombing, but they were sold after playing for a year in the original time and space, and it was because of this.

The Hawks scored eight points on 4-of-5 shooting in the opening game, but the Suns only made 1-of-4 shooting, and D'Antoni was forced to call a timeout.

D'Antoni really didn't expect this, he couldn't beat the Rockets and he admitted it, the opponent's rhythm was so slow that they couldn't even speed up if they wanted to, and he couldn't beat the Spurs and admitted it, the opponent's rhythm was stable and Ginobili.

But the Hawks, who have won once, D'Antoni is very confident, the kind of self-confidence, the Suns are really regarded as a "championship team" because they beat the Hawks once.

The mustache has always been arrogant, otherwise he would not have been in the second year when he coached the Lakers, Kobe Bryant was stunned not to compete for the championship, and forcibly won 3 of the last 4 games, beating the Jazz to rank second to last in the West.

After D'Antoni won the Eagles once, they felt that the Eagles were no match for them.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this game, the opponent's defense was very targeted.

The Hawks coaching staff spent a long time studying the Suns, and even Coach Kruger and Mike Woodson were still in touch during the All-Star Weekend to study the first big opponent back this All-Star weekend.

D'Antoni, on the other hand, didn't think about it that much, his belief was to shoot and shoot and shoot.

Deliberately gave Stoudemire a chance to cut in, then aggressively pinched to reduce Nash's breakaway and allow Quentin Richardson to shoot......

D'Antoni didn't make any substitutions, he didn't like substitutions and made some changes in attack.

As for the defensive end, the Hawks hit three counterattacks...... As long as you don't throw in, it's fine.

On the Hawks' side, when the first round of the game was successful, Coach Kruger waited for D'Antoni to call a timeout and immediately began to lay out the second phase of the strategy, with Mike Woodson on the side to supplement the computer to pay attention to defensively, and they were quite well prepared for this game.

D'Antoni laughed after winning them last time, and they still remember that after spending too much time with a certain number one, the two of them had become a lot more petty.

……

After the timeout, there were no substitutions on either side, and the Suns played the ball in the frontcourt.

Nash came to the top arc after receiving the serve, and found that the person who defended him was replaced by Liu Mang!

It's different! It's not what the coach expected!

The side that said that the tactics were successful would not make adjustments first? How did this law change with the Eagles!

Nash stubbornly looked for Stoudemire to come out to block the demolition, and the person who came out with Stoudemire also changed, becoming Rasheed Wallace!

Stoudemire really came up to block Liu Mang this time, Nash broke through around the block, and Stoudemire cut in from the left side of the basket after blocking Liu Mang, but Rasheed Wallace did not change the defense, but kept sticking to Stoudemire and did not let Stoudemire get up and rush inside.

When Nash burst to the free throw line, he saw Liu Mang forcibly bypassing the block and rushing towards him, and he saw Kwame Brown blocked the receiving route by Kwame Brown when Marion cut in from the baseline, Joe Johnson stood and was guarded by Maddie, and Big Q was also closely chased by Prince, and it was a good way to break into the interior, but Marion's cut made Kwame Brown already rush into the basket and enter the bag by Liu Mang and Kwame Brown......

For a moment, Nash thought about various passing plans in his mind, but none of them were good, Nash reached the free throw line, and before Liu Mang pounced in place, he stopped and jumped, and threw the ball to the basket in the posture of riding a horse and archery!

"Huh"

Ball hollow hit! Nash's shot is too good! Among outside players this season, his overall shooting percentage of 46 percent is second only to Maddy's 47 percent and one percent higher than Kobe.

Liu Mang tried his best to chase and defend as fast as possible, but he still couldn't catch up.

But he didn't hesitate, immediately rushed back to the basket to pick up the ball, quickly sent it to Maddy, who was already on the verge of going down, and then rushed to the frontcourt, and Prince on the other side also went down quickly.

Maddie received Liu Mang's serve in the middle line and continued to accelerate.

Big Q and Joe Johnson and Nash, who scored, all quickly chased after Maddie and Prince, Liu Mang followed, and when he reached the three-point line, Maddie, who was sandwiched, immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang just received the ball and jumped, but was pounced on by Nash, who turned around, and Marion, who quickly retreated, Marion's long arms covered the space for Liu Mang's shooting!

After Nash was dunked, the defense was already working hard but couldn't prevent it, but now it has become even harder, Liu Mang really didn't dare to throw it in the air, there were only three people in his own house to attack quickly, and the other five people had reached half court, Liu Mang still didn't shoot when he reached the highest point of the jump, and simply threw it towards the left side of the basket, hoping that Prince would run fast enough, and no matter how bad it was, he would throw it out of bounds to pull the Suns into the positional battle again.

"Ding...... The air magician level 4 triggers, and the host jumps up and passes this time to deceive the opponent's defender and lead the man with the ball. ”

Luck can't stop it!

When Liu Mang passed the ball out, Stoudemire, who had just rushed into the three-point line, misjudged and pounced on Maddie, Prince rushed up to receive the ball fiercely, jumped with the momentum of the sprint, and scored two points after the low-altitude flight!

Prince didn't talk much, and after he landed, he pretended to be a homeopathic leg bend of the landing buffer, knocked the ball that bounced up after landing out of bounds, hit the baseline reporter, and blocked the Suns from picking up the ball for the first time.

Of course, more than that, there are two people in the Hawks who didn't participate in the fast game at all, otherwise Liu Mang wouldn't have been tied up in shooting, and Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown were on both sides of the free throw line in the backcourt!

Nash didn't know what to say about Liu Mang's pass this time, and there was no one in the direction of Liu Mang's pass, did he trust his teammates so much?

It's time for the Suns to attack again, Nash played half a quarter, and they were used to the advancement of positional warfare, the Hawks couldn't come up with two insides, and the three outside lines came and retreated quickly.

Nash advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, and they all started from the pick-and-roll in positional battles, and the Suns were not only the league's No. 1 in counterattack scoring, but also No. 1 in the league in pick-and-roll offense scoring.

Nash continued to get rid of Liu Mang by blocking and dismantling, and once again got a chance to shoot in the middle distance, this time the pull-up jump shot was not as good as the last time, and the mid-range pull-up jump shot missed!

The Eagles are fighting back!

Three arrows waved their whips, and the cavalry company charged!

Nash felt more and more wrong for the next period of time, not that he didn't have a chance to shoot, but that he had too many chances!

It's so awkward!

The Suns usually play their own rhythm, and they don't care about the opponent's rhythm, in fact, they play any opponent, they just study whether the opponent's return defense is fast, what level of rhythm needs to be raised, what is the opponent's pinch situation, and which teammates to send the ball to are easier to attract the bag and then distribute the ball to the empty teammates......

And the Suns' offense is so powerful, they can ignore the defense of most opponents, so they will slowly study the opponent before their self-confidence at the beginning of the season, they haven't studied the opponent slowly for a long time, and the arrogance has risen, they think they are the next Hawks, especially after beating the Hawks last time, they suddenly feel that they have replaced the Hawks, this wave of nine consecutive wins, they haven't studied the opponent at all, the Hawks just watched the video of the last time the two teams met, It's just a matter of using the successful tactics in it.

But now that Nash feels it, the Hawks have a targeted defense against them, so let him score and cut him off from his teammates!

Nash shot 4-of-7 shots, 5-of-9 shots in the first quarter, one was a three-pointer, and he scored 11 points in a single quarter, but only had two assists, and the key is that his teammates only had two assists, and the Suns only got 4 assists in the first quarter, which was almost half of their 24.6 assists per game and 7.9 assists per game in the first quarter of the league!

The Suns scored just 24 points in the first quarter, which was well below their 29-point average in the league in the first quarter of the season, second only to the Hawks' 29.6 points per game.

Nash got a lot of shots, but there were too few effective offensive passes, and no matter how D'Antoni adjusted his tactics, the Hawks had two defensive priorities.

First, stare at other people, don't let Quentin Richardson run to catch and shoot, Marion and Joe Johnson are fixed-point shooters in terms of three-point catch-and-shoot shots, Marion still has an empty cut, Joe Johnson doesn't have a very good ability to score under the basket, and the layup ability evaluation is only 83, which is similar to a veteran's outside basket scoring ability, Marion's running ability lies in the air cut, but Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown and Josh Smith who came up in rotation are very physical, after studying Marion's running position, The defense is very targeted.

It's not enough to be targeted, the most important thing is the second point, let Nash have a chance to shoot when he breaks through, and never change his defense, just let Nash shoot.

Nash has a very strong scoring ability, especially strong, and the point guards are in the same gear as Liu Mang and Iverson, and they are all the kind of stars who don't look at the defense and are 90+ ability evaluations.

But Nash scored more and the offense was not organized, and it still didn't work! He doesn't have the mentality of Liu Mang and Iverson to the end!

Nash knows that the passer's first choice is to shoot, but he made 9 shots in the first quarter, but he is only averaging 11 shots per game this season. Throwing and throwing just thinking about passing, as a result, a lot of real opportunities were delayed, and when it was passed out, it was only Joe Johnson who could play alone, thanks to Joe Johnson's singles, otherwise they might not have been able to score 20 points!

And on the Hawks' side, Liu Mang, like someone in Los Angeles today, suddenly liked to jump up after receiving the ball and attracted the pass after the defense, and made the Suns' two active defensive Nash and Big Q and a defensive conscious Marion big head, the pass was simply amazing, as if it was thrown casually, but he really got 3 assists in a single quarter, and sometimes he deceived his teammates, Prince jumped up and caught it empty, and it suddenly hit Maddy's face......

But with such a style of play, the Hawks finished the first quarter, relying on the 8-2 lead in the opening game, and scored 31 points in a single quarter, leading the Suns by 7 points!

With a 7-point lead in the first quarter, the Hawks' fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger!

After Liu Mang succeeded in the first tactic today, he devoted himself more to the tactical strategy of the coaching staff, and the tactics were effective throughout the first quarter!

In the first quarter, Liu Mang didn't have many chances, passed 7 times, three of which were converted into assists, and two turnovers, and scored 9 points on 4-of-8 shooting, the Hawks' starting lineup was stunned to play the first quarter, and under the leadership of Maddy's 4 assists in a single quarter, the team took a 7-point lead.

Leading the Suns into the second quarter, the rhythm belongs to his side, Liu Mang is very happy, but even happier is Coach Kruger's progress after losing to the Suns last time!

Coach Krueger has gradually developed from a tactical provider who is proficient in various tactics and a tactical coach who builds a tactical framework to a coach who responds on the spot!
