Although the Hawks' coaching staff did not find a target at the tactical level when they studied the Lakers' offensive tactics, they did a perfect job of targeting the Lakers' defensive offensive tactics.

The inside line definitely can't be played, at least when Yao Ming is there, so the offensive tactics on the Eagles' side are mainly divided into two parts.

One part was that Mitaka kept two on the floor to deal with Kobe's defense.

Compared with the Heat team with Payton, Wade, and Posey, the Lakers' outside defense is really not enough to see.

Of course, after the Eastern Conference finals, the Hawks got used to the Heat's outside defense.

However, it is no longer the same, just before the start of the 2008 Finals, public opinion generally believed that the Lakers had a greater advantage in winning the championship, and it seemed that the Celtics could not break through the Lakers' defense, and when it came to the Finals, it was found that only Kobe's Lakers team could not prevent the impact of Ray Allen and Pierce.

The Hawks are like the Celtics, who have just experienced a brutal defensive test in the East, and when they arrived at the Finals, they found that except for Kobe, the Lakers' other outside players were defending the same as paper.

The Eagles are confident in their offensive superiority from the outside, both the players and the coaching staff.

So I don't know the outside offensive strategy is very simple, Liu Mang and Maddie's double cooperation!

And the second part of the two-person cooperation is that the two of them rush inside more, not to enter the basket to attack, but to get close to the basket, so that Yao Ming must have the action of assisting in defense and consuming Yao Ming!

Liu Mang and Maddie, who have long adapted to physical confrontation in the series with the Heat, especially Maddie, who has faced physical pressure from Artest, James, Posey, Wade and others, whether it is a physical confrontation with Kobe Bryant or a physical confrontation with Odom, they seem to be at ease.

Although it was his teammates who scored more, Maddie made a big difference in containing the defense.

No one thought that the Lakers would be so weak in the finals, just like in 2008, Kobe Bryant won the regular season MVP, the Lakers swept the 50-win double gun Nuggets in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, won the new double in the second round, and beat the defending champion Spurs 4-1 in the Western Finals, people felt that the Lakers had a chance to kill the Celtics, but in the finals, the Lakers faced the first round and the second round to tie seven. When the Eastern Conference finals still relied on Ray Allen to hit two three-pointers in a row at a critical moment to win the Celtics, who ended the series in six games, the Lakers looked vulnerable.

The Celtics, beating the Lakers, actually relied not on defense, but on offense! The Celtics had two players averaging 20+ per game in that Finals, Pierce and Ray Allen, Garnett also averaging 18 points per game, in addition to Rondo, Eddie House, James Posey, Leon Powell...... Many Celtics players have averaged five or even more than 8 points per game in the series, and the Celtics have even scored 131 points in a single game!

And the Celtics defense, in addition to abusing Gasol very badly, the Lakers actually average about the same points per game as they did when they played the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers lost, mainly because they couldn't prevent the Celtics at all!

It's the same this time.

In this game, the Hawks pressed the Lakers from the beginning!

Yao Ming turned over the sea under the basket on the offensive end, Kobe Bryant singled Prince, and the overall shooting rate of more than 40% was better than that of the regular season, Wang Zhizhi and Fisher had a good three-point opportunity, and the three could score one, Odom's misplaced singles were also very powerful, and the Lakers had no problem offensively.

But the Lakers couldn't guard against the Hawks from the beginning!

After the Hawks adapted to the Heat's defense, they felt that the Lakers' defense was like paper, although Yao Ming scored less inside when he was under the basket, but he shot very accurately on the outside!

The Lakers are putting pressure on the outside, but the pressure is far from enough!

Fisher's defensive end is extremely degraded compared to the Lakers' first three-game championship period four years ago, and Fisher, who could dunk quickly and strongly with Iverson on the counterattack, is now completely unable to keep up, Odom is not versatile, and Devin George and Luke Wharton, who came off the bench, are not doing well.

After the first quarter, the Lakers scored 26 points, very good, Yao Mingqiang played three times, two direct deductions, Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown couldn't stop it alone, or relied on a tacit pinch to prevent it once, Yao Mingqiang hit 2 of 3, and a catch layup hit and two mid-range catch-and-shoot jumpers 2 in 1, as well as 2 in 1 free throws, Yao Ming performed well in the first quarter, scoring 9 points on 4 of 6 shots.

The Hawks' defense of Kobe Bryant was stricter, Kobe Bryant passed the ball more, shot 2 of 5, scored 5 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, and the Lakers scored 26 points in a single quarter in the face of the Hawks' strong defense, and their performance was very good.

But on the Hawks' side, Liu Mang had 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, Maddie had 6 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, Liu Mang's scoring and setter, and Maddy's organized offense, helped the Hawks score 41 points in a single quarter!

41 to 26!

In the first game of the finals, the Hawks actually led by 15 points in the first quarter!

It may be that the Lakers met the Suns and Mavericks in the Western Conference playoffs, and they are used to playing games with "civilized defense", and the pitchers on the Hawks' side have experienced the defensive baptism led by the Pacers' Artest, the Cavaliers' poor version of Janeway's combination, and the Heat's outside three defensive masters, and feel like playing with the Lakers as if there is no physical contact.

In addition to Liu Mang and Maddie each scoring a three-pointer, the Hawks role players made 4 three-pointers in a single quarter!

This caused the Lakers to have a headache for Liu Mang's defense, and it was not a pinch, nor was it a pinch, and it became a four-way match.

Liu Mang's three-point shooting Lakers must have defended very strictly, so Liu Mang relied on Maddie to share the ball or break through by himself, shooting 6 of 9, 2 of 3 free throws, and scoring 15 points in a single quarter!

Half of them are three shots, and it was a direct assist given by Maddie! And Liu Mang's three assists, two of which were a pass after Maddie attracted some defensive attention, and Liu Mang got an assist from the second pass!

The cooperation of Liu Mang and Maddie blew up the Lakers!

The tacit understanding between Liu Mang and Maddy was further improved in the sixth game with the Heat, although Liu Mang did not have the kind of play that Anfernee Hardaway seemed to be able to pick up the stars with his hand, but the simple sense of cooperation was remembered by Liu Mang.

The Hawks, who were already strong enough to win 73 or even 74 if they wanted to, showed their dominance in the first quarter of the Finals!

Even, it is even more dominant than the Heat team that could "sweep" the Mavericks with Jason Terry in the last four games of the 2006 Finals in the original time and space!
