1030. Undesirable passes
Kwame Brown easily rebounded to catch and dunk to give the Hawks the lead to two points.
Liu Mang immediately retreated after passing the ball and returned to his own half to prevent the opponent from attacking quickly.
Sure enough, the Warriors' lineup is very fast, and playing fast is the foundation of the Warriors' survival this season, they average fourth in the league in points per game, averaging 108 points per game, second only to the Hawks' average of 115 points per game, the Suns' average of 112 per game and the supersonic's 109.
As soon as Jason Richardson ran over, Liu Mang immediately followed, not giving the three-point master who is currently ranked fourth in the league second only to Liu Mang himself, Ray Allen, and the Suns' Laga Bell a vacant opportunity, so far this season, the dunk king has averaged 2.8 three-pointers per game.
"Jason Richardson, Ability Rating 86 (Peak), Offense 89, Defense 75, Three-Point 90, Shooting 81, Layup 92, Speed 89, Power 85......"
"Barang Davis, Ability Rating 89 (Peak), Offense 88, Defense 83, Passing 90, Three-Point 78, Shooting 79, Layup 94, Speed 91, Power 88......"
Liu Mang's most important thing for the Warriors is the combination of the back, the dunk king and the beard are at the peak of their careers, and the style of play is very compatible, one burst and one shot, similar to the backcourt combination of Arenas and Larry Hughes that people expected in the previous two years, but the combination of Jason Richardson, who is not greedy for the right to the ball, and Baron Davis, who shoots better, is obviously much better than the Wizards' brothers last season.
Jason Richardson was stuck to Liu Mang, couldn't get rid of it, couldn't use the block and dismantle, and couldn't mess up the defense according to the tactics.
Jason Richardson has a good bounce and good speed, but it can only be said to be excellent, and there is a certain gap between him and the top, mainly because of his poor traverse ability, and the traverse difference is not only affected by the defense, but also a problem when blocking and dismantling, and the traversal speed is slow, and the speed of getting rid of the defense is much slower.
Barang Davis was slow to get up front and was blocked by Maddy, who is now playing harder defensively than before, and his goal in this game is to score and defend alone.
Barang Davis was blocked and didn't rush, he was pushing at his own pace, this is the Warriors' tactic, the other players first quickly went to the frontcourt, disrupted the opponent's defense, and then Barang Davis slowed down to the frontcourt to break through.
The fast break didn't work, Baron Davis turned on the singles mode, and in the face of Maddy, a player of the same era, Baron Davis was very serious.
Baron Davis is not scared of Maddy, he is very excited to see Maddie defend him, although he entered the NBA two years later than Maddy, but Baron Davis is actually more than two months older than Maddy, when Baron Davis and Earl Watson. Maddie played against each other in a high school star contest in March 1996, and the three were evenly matched, but their subsequent development and circumstances were very different.
Maddie waited very seriously for Baran Davis to make a move, very focused, staring at Baran Davis who was dribbling, Baran Davis's dribbling was very solid, there were no fancy movements, and it was particularly stable.
Baron Davis dried, accelerated violently, and showed a breakthrough speed that was extremely inconsistent with his size!
Maddie's speed is not much different from Barang Davis, the focused Maddie reacted quickly and pasted it towards Baron Davis, but he couldn't block it, Baran Davis, who was the first to move, broke through the middle waist and pushed Maddie to Maddy, and the big ass pushed Maddie away, and when Maddie was sticking to it, he faced the basket and broke through steadily!
Liu Mang was running with Jason Richardson, and when he saw Baron Davis break through, he immediately pinched the past, and at the beginning he expected that Maddie might suffer in the face of the relatively short Baron Davis in terms of strength, so he made up for Baron Davis as soon as possible.
Sure enough, Barang Davis burst into the free throw line with Maddy, and Liu Mang just happened to make up for it.
Seeing Liu Mang coming, Baron Davis, who has excellent passing ability, immediately divided the ball Jason Richardson, and when Jason Richardson received the ball, he was inside the three-point line and wanted to withdraw from the three-point line to shoot, and Prince made up for it in front of him at this time!
The Eagles' high-speed rotation defense!
At this time, Maddie, who was passed by Barang Davis, had already rushed towards Dunleavy, but found that Dunleavy was not ready to catch the ball and shoot, but ran to the left side of the free throw line, Maddie saw the big white man in the Warriors jersey wearing a mix of red, yellow, blue and orange, and a white jersey quickly ran over from Dunleavy's left side, Rashid Wallace was blocked by Dunleavy, Maddie secretly screamed badly, and quickly bypassed Dunleavy to make up, at this time Jason Richardson's pass had been hung across several people to the left 45-degree angle.
Murphy catches the ball and makes a three-point shot......
Hit!
This breakthrough pass and blocking, Liu Mang seems to see the Warriors of Black Eight!
It's already in shape!
The Warriors have averaged 25 three-pointers per game this season, more than the Hawks and Suns, and second only to the SuperSonics!
It also ranks fourth in the league in field field shooting, with a 36 percent shooting percentage and an average of nine three-pointers per game.
Kwame Brown quickly picked up the ball and exited the baseline to Liu Mang, and the other three Eagles players were already running towards the frontcourt.
Liu Mang received the ball and advanced quickly, and after crossing the middle line, he immediately encountered the saves of Barang Davis, who had a very bad habit of defending and liking to block and steal when the opponent was fast attacking, and was passed by Liu Mang in one step!
Liu Mang accelerated directly to the right and rushed into the three-point line, Maddie cut into the basket from a 45-degree angle on the right side at this time, Jason Richardson who defended Maddy chose to come over and hit Liu Mang, when Liu Mang burst to the free throw line, Foyer under the basket also took a step out, Liu Mang passed one person, and also attracted a double defense!
Liu Mang threw the ball high and passed the ball out, and Kwame Brown under the basket jumped up excitedly and stretched out his hand towards the ball...... A hand much bigger than Kwame Brown's outstretched hand caught the ball in the air and smashed it into the basket!
Maddie actively cut into the air, took the initiative to send his defenders to the area where he could make up for Liu Mang, and created a chance for himself without the ball!
Kwame Brown silently retracted his raised hand after landing on the ground, and he was just two or three centimeters away from catching the ball, just a little bit...... The boss is selfless, and the second brother of the team starts to grab food!
Kwame Brown made a sad quick return to the defense, silently vowing to jump faster next time, and he was still good at the speed of the bullet.
Baron Davis followed behind Liu Mang, seeing Liu Mang's passing with the same confusion as Foyer, from when he studied Liu Mang's offensive play, he found that Liu Mang likes to shoot directly when he attracts the basket to defend and teammates have a rebounding advantage, before Liu Mang passed to Kwame Brown, because it was in the crowd, Barang Davis didn't notice, but this time he chased behind the defense, and saw it clearly, Kwame Brown and Maddy both had rebounding opportunities, Liu Mang didn't shoot!
Without further thought, Barang Davis received the ball from Murphy and continued to attack.
At the beginning of the game between the two teams, they both opened the offensive style of organizing the attack with the point guard as the core, relatively speaking, the Hawks started to play more smoothly, the Warriors' large-scale passing and wildly throwing three-point play, there are always some problems, large-scale transfer is easy to make mistakes, the first time was to beat Maddie a cold, and then Maddie destroyed the Warriors' large-scale transfer twice, and the Warriors' three-point has a feeling of watching the sky and eating, Except for Jason Richardson, who shot 40 percent from the field, and Derrick Fisher, who shot 39 percent from three-point range on the bench, everyone else was just over 30 percent.
Today, the Warriors shot well, about 37 percent, played six minutes in the opening game, 3-of-8 from three-point range, and Barang Davis hit a toss and Foyer caught the ball and was fouled by Kwame Brown, hit both free throws, and scored 13 points in the first quarter, which is a good offense.
On the Hawks' side, it is mainly based on scoring under the basket, only Liu Mang himself shot a three-point shot in the half quarter, and Liu Mang himself only shot two baskets, missed the three-point shot, and scored two points for a breakthrough layup, but in addition to these two points, there were five assists in the half quarter!
2 points, 5 assists and 1 rebound, Liu Mang had 4 assists in the first half of the quarter, helping others score 15 points, and the Hawks were 17-13, leading by 4 points at the official timeout!
It still looks like it, Liu Mang himself is also very excited, and his threat of even Zhuang's scoring champion allows him to easily get assists.
It's like ...... A future triple-double king who is less obsessed with rebounding?
But it's really cool! The feeling of holding the ball in your hand, although it is not your own score, but your teammates run out of position and pass the ball by yourself, and when your teammates throw it, it feels amazing!
During the pause, Coach Kruger felt that something was a little weird, the team scored a lot, but Liu Mang only scored two points, and he always felt a little weird.
But the lead is good, the team's defense is doing a good job, but the pace of the game with the Warriors is too fast, and it even feels faster than playing the Suns last season, and the Warriors actually threw 8 three-pointers in the first half of the quarter, which is a record-breaking rhythm!
The previous team's record for three-point shots in a single game was 37 in a single game set by the Hawks, and the Warriors looked like they were on their way to breaking the record today.
The Hawks only made one three-pointer in the first half, and Liu Mang's breakthrough brought more scoring opportunities under the basket, with Maddy scoring six points in the first quarter, Kwame Brown scoring five points, and only Rasheed Wallace making a three-pointer.
From this stage, Coach Kruger thinks it's not bad, but he still thinks it's a little weird, and after thinking about it, it's not that Liu Mang feels weird because he scores less, but he can't say it.
……
After the timeout, Coach Kruger made personnel changes, Jason Terry replaced Maddy, who had just gone all out with a single defense and cut, and Korver replaced Prince, Josh Smith and Mourning to partner on the inside.
Adding two more accurate shooters for Liu Mang, as well as Josh Smith with sharper cuts, and Mourning under the basket, Coach Kruger completely treated the Warriors as a soft persimmon to test Liu Mang's offensive style of play.
The last offense before the official timeout was the Warriors' three-point shot that popped out of bounds, and the Hawks possessed the ball after the timeout.
Liu Mang received the serve and advanced, and saw Fisher waiting outside the three-point line, and the Warriors sent a dual-point guard combination of Fisher and Baron Davis, whose height of 1.91 meters can also play a two-way guard.
Jason Richardson, Dunleavy, Murphy, and the Warriors also switched to one big and four small.
"Derrick Fisher, Ability Rating 75, Offense 74, Defense 79, Three-Point Shot 87, Shooting 73, Layup 83, Speed 87, Power 90......"
The small fish has also become an old fish, the 31-year-old Fisher does not have the physical fitness that Liu Mang can jump and rush when he first entered the NBA, but the strength is stronger, Liu Mang feels that Fisher's arms are as thick as his own legs!
Liu Mang reached the three-point line, and Fisher immediately came up to Liu Mang.
"I'll go!" Liu Mang was almost overturned! Hurry up and stabilize your body and control the ball.
is different from the feeling of being defended by Francis and James, those two are impact, and Fisher is tough! That kind of static muscular power, Fisher does not need to accelerate, and can give contact to the body.
The speed has declined, the explosiveness has declined, and the defense has also declined, but Fisher is still used as the sixth man, and even in Liu Mang's memory, when he returned to the Lakers, he was still the starting point guard under the Zen master, although he was often passed by one step, but before 2010, there was really no argument that Fisher was a defensive black hole, and Liu Mang now understood it.
This guy has big moves and black hands! And because Antonio McDyce resigned as president of the players' union, Fisher was elected as the next president of the players' union in 2004, and officially became the president of the players' union in the 2006-2007 season.
You don't have to be a star to have a star whistle, Fisher has it too! Just like the future African royal family member Aminu.
Fisher isn't very good, but he has a lot of prestige among the players.
Liu Mang controls the ball well, takes a step back, and rushes strongly!
If you don't get a direct steal from Fisher, you can get past it in one step.
Fisher is strong, but now the speed really can't keep up, and Liu Mang is passing by one step.
Liu Mang arrived at the free throw line, thinking that it would attract Murphy's defense, so he could feed Mo Ning a cake, but unexpectedly Murphy stood between the two, stretched out his hand, and did not choose to press up, Liu Mang was ready to pass, and suddenly rushed to the arc of the reasonable collision area!
At this time, Fisher caught up from behind, stuck Liu Mang to him, and constantly applied physical confrontation, Liu Mang made a mistake! Caught by Murphy and Fisher!
At this time, there was no Maddie air cut next to him, Jason Terry and Korver were waiting outside the three-point line, Josh Smith came in and brought Dunleavy in, and Liu Mang was dumpled under the basket!
Liu Mang forcibly jumped, was stuck by Fisher and the jump height was not enough, the throw was covered by Murphy's slap, the ball fell to the floor, the basket was coaxed, the ball was touched out of bounds by Mourning, and the Warriors had the ball!
The Warriors backcourt ball, Baron Davis advanced, the Warriors are now able to shoot all five players, playing more waves than before, Baron Davis broke through alone and ate Liu Mang, burst in to find an outside shooting opportunity, and then passed the ball out, Dunleavy received the ball and did not score three points.
The Warriors' three three-pointers in the opening game were one for Jason Richardson, two for Murphy, Baron Davis hasn't shot yet, Dunleavy has zero for two shots, and the Hawks have Korver, and the defense is still very good at changing defenses, and the defense is highly targeted, and Dunleavy was deliberately let go to block Murphy and Jason Richardson.
Dunleavy missed a three-pointer, and Liu Mang, who was defending Barang Davis, who was breaking into the basket, grabbed a defensive rebound.
Liu Mang advanced by himself, and continued to break through after reaching the front court, not giving Fisher a chance to make physical contact, Liu Mang burst into the interior line, and was very resolute to the basket, before Fisher caught up to form a pinch for the body contact, Liu Mang passed the ball around Murphy to the basket...... Dunleavy was stealed, who received the basket early!
Dunleavy selectively let go of Josh Smith!
From the official timeout, the Eagles' offense suddenly took a sharp turn, Liu Mang made zero mistakes in the first half of the quarter, and easily got 5 assists, but in the second half of the quarter, the mistakes increased sharply, and the Eagles' offensive efficiency was greatly reduced.
Fortunately, the Hawks did a good job defensively, and the Warriors' shooting performance today was the average so far this season, and the Hawks relied on defense to not be overtaken by the opponent.
The average level does not mean that the Warriors are stable and how well they play, their average level is that they can't win, and winning games are all extraordinary performances, and they are accompanied by many times when the team only hits one or two shots in 20 shots, of course, they can't prevent it if they shoot accurately, and the Warriors shot 17 of 29 three-pointers in the game against the Suns, shooting the Suns alive.
But there are 17 three-pointers in a single game, but 9 three-pointers per game, which shows that the Warriors won by explosion, not by "stability".
Liu Mang, who sent 5 assists in the first half of the quarter, was full of joy and thought that maybe he could get another single-quarter assist double, but in the second half of the quarter, Liu Mang only had one successful assist, if it weren't for Jason Terry and Korver who scored a three-pointer by themselves, and the team's good defense, the opponent didn't wave it today, and the score would have been overtaken!
27-25, the Hawks scored 17 points in the first half and only 10 points in the second half! Liu Mang thought that he could assist in a single quarter, but he didn't expect 3 mistakes in the second half of the quarter! If it weren't for the quick retreat, it would really be overtaken!
After the first quarter, Coach Kruger resisted the urge to make substitutions and call a timeout, allowing Liu Mang to play the whole first quarter.
Coach Kruger finally saw that something was wrong, and said that the whole team would participate in the attack?
Why do you feel that the ball is more concentrated now, and it's all here for Liu Mang!
Maddie has not been holding the ball to break through the attack, Liu Mang has always been taking the ball to break through the ball!
Maddie has a physical problem and can't hold the ball all the time, so he will choose to share the ball more, even when he won the assist king last season, he also handed over the ball a lot.
And Liu Mang is not tired, he can always break through, but it has become a defect!
The main reason is that Liu Mang was too deliberately trying to pass the ball to his teammates to score, but instead trapped himself in it!
