Milicic played better than last season.

The main thing is to have better teammates and improve their own strength.

Richard Jefferson regained the possession of interior teammates who can pass the ball high and attract defense, and grasped the open cut and three-point opportunities well, when the Hawks focused on the combination of TJ Ford and Milicic, Richard Jefferson took good advantage of the Hawks' defense against him, and he did a good job of cutting and running, which he practiced next to Kidd and Yao Ming back then.

Joe Johnson didn't have much off-ball performance, the Raptors didn't run, and he didn't run directly to the front court to catch the ball and shoot, but his shooting ability stood and others didn't dare to let go of him.

Bargnani has done a good job of his strengths, namely three-point and mid-range catch-and-shoot shooting, and he is very good at using his advantages in regular time, a playoff team that was originally in the playoffs and the third in the East in the original time and space has an average of 10+ points per game in his rookie season, and will be a core scorer in the future after Bosh leaves with an average of 21 points per game, and he also has two brushes.

Banyani is just not good, but he is not water, and he is the kind of champion who has no sense of existence.

Banyani's ability to attract the marking as the top pick is also enough, and when he throws two, the Eagles will not dare to let him go.

Liu Mang was replaced when he played more than eight minutes, and found that there was really no way to limit Milicic's passing! At least the strategies I wanted before today's game were mediocre.

His teammates have gotten better, and Milicic's play has given people a sense of rebirth.

There is also the fact that you can't defend with your hands outside the free throw line, you can't defend for three seconds, and the Hawks don't dare to squat under the basket for too long when they want to shoot bad three-pointers in the opponent and cut players running inside the three-point line, and they have to come out in two seconds.

It's like putting Gasol in the Grizzlies, where he can't win a single playoff game, but when his partner becomes Kobe, he's immediately the center of a championship team.

And the characteristics of the Raptors team are that they can almost pass the ball, Richard Jefferson averaged 4 assists per game when he partnered with Yao Ming, Joe Johnson's organizational ability was okay, TJ Ford likes to pass the ball but does not have the ability to attract pinch shots, there are others who create opportunities for him to attack the basket, which can attract defense, the second setter is still very fast, Baniani's natural advantage is height, and the swing man of two meters and three is still able to pass.

However, when Liu Mang went down, the score was ahead!

Liu Mang got 6 points and 3 assists in 8 minutes, his performance was very good, he had a good start to the game, 2 of 4 shots, a three-pointer, and a breakthrough when he was caught by the opponent and played 2+1,

Compared with the offense, the Raptors' defense is very bad, not the defense that a strong team should have, the strong team's defense has at most one ATM, and the other four make up, and the Raptors have two!

In addition, there is not much good defensive system, relying on Richard Jefferson and Milicic to make up for people, Joe Johnson is difficult to defend Maddie himself, how can he have the opportunity to make up for others, Richard Jefferson can still have a chance to make up for the defense and help the defense, defend Liu Mang, and he is sandwiched, and he still scored 6 points on 2-of-4 shooting.

There is also Liu Mang's clear purpose today, like a real point guard to direct tactics, mobilize the enthusiasm of teammates, send passes, driven by Liu Mang, in the first eight minutes of the first quarter, the Hawks had 5 assists, plus Liu Mang's own singles of six points, and Maddy's singles of a single turn and then turn around again The skyless wave of spin throwing, the first eight minutes The Hawks led by 3 points 20-17.

Liu Mang still has an advantage when he goes down.

The Hawks no longer kept at least two of the three eagles on the court as they used to be in the rotation stage, and replaced Rondo, Jason Terry, Battier, David Lee, and Rasheed Wallace.

On the Raptors' side, the three stars continued to stay on the court, Milicic moved to the power forward position, replaced Nestrovic who was abandoned by the Spurs as center, and replaced the point guard position with Darrick Martin, a veteran with a 12-year career.

……

"Ace, don't be in a hurry, take your time, we have time to adjust......" Coach Kruger heard that Liu Mang wanted to be replaced early, but he didn't agree, and calmed down.

After entering the rotation lineup, Liu Mang began to have a pain......

At the end of the first quarter, the rotation lineup went up and played for two minutes, and the score was overtaken, and the game was really ...... Generally, the main thing is that the three stars of the opposing team are there, Richard Jefferson has Battier on his side, and he plays averagely, while Joe Johnson starts to score, and Milicic has a great threat to the interior when Kwame Brown is not there, creating a good scoring opportunity for Joe Johnson.

In fact, the current rotation of the Eagles is the normal rotation of a strong team, in the past three seasons, except for the second year, the first and third years have been too obsessed with the regular season record, and they want to let the players rest, so they have made a rotation break, which the league does not want because the Hawks have many stars.

For teams with relatively weak core lineups, what they have to do is to kill the main team, and use the main lineup to overtake the score or establish an advantage when the opponent rotates the lineup, so as to have a chance to compete with the opponent.

And the strong team often starts to play the advantage, and then the players can rest for a while.

The Hawks have dared to fight like that in the past three years, because the rotation lineup is good, mainly because there are few injuries, but the core lineup of the Hawks has not changed much, the three eagles are still the three eagles, and Kwame Brown and Prince have played nearly 100 games in the past two years, even if there have been no major injuries, the coaching staff does not dare to bet.

So let Liu Mang relax and exercise the substitute lineup well.

Other championship contenders are substitutes digging holes and starting to fill in the holes, like the Eagles, who have won at least 70 wins twice in the past three years, and 68 wins in the worst year, this is the relationship between veterans who want to hug their thighs and dare not come to the Eagles after the Hawks won three consecutive championships, who knows if there will be sudden large-scale injuries.

There are many examples of mass injuries in the history of the NBA.

Therefore, the Eagles coaching staff began to strictly control the playing time of the players, and they lost the first game anyway, and they didn't have to care about the opening streak, there was no opening streak.

Now the Hawks have a strong bench in addition to the starting lineup, Jason Terry and Battier, and Korver is also good, mainly because of one strong point - three-point shooting.

However, Korver relies on his teammates' passing and team system, and now his new teammates are not so tacit about tactical coordination, and their performance is average when they play off the bench.

Rasheed Wallace is nowhere near as good as last year, he was barely a first-class star last year, and veterans after the age of 30, except for a handful of stars, have seen a significant and huge decline after a summer.

David Lee's skills are getting better and better, and he is inexperienced, and it is quite sassy to play the opponent's water cooler manager, but it is still a little short of playing the opponent's main interior rotation, and it takes time to accumulate experience.

If you count Jason Terry, Battier, and Rasheed Wallace, the Hawks have a maximum of eight players in the rotation, and the physical pressure is high.

It is impossible for the Eagles to let the starters play with the sixth man for more than 40 minutes every game, Liu Mang is okay here, but the others ......

And the coaching staff will not let Liu Mang play for so long, even if they have to use the star to death, they don't want to use Liu Mang to death now, but would rather let Maddie and Jason Terry fight more, but also let Liu Mang play a little easier and play less time, especially after Liu Mang said that he was going to defend the opponent's second point of attack, even more so, the first point of attack has the rotation of Prince and Battier to defend, which is an arrangement made after the coaching staff compromised.

Although it was quite cruel, the Hawks coaching staff made a decision that was in the interests of the team, preferring to put the other main players to death, and let Liu Mang rest more in the regular season after being the MVP of the Finals for three consecutive years.

Liu Mang also knows that this is part of the team's plan, even if he is not worried about injuries, he has to worry about the physical fitness of several old teammates, but he is used to the previous rotation, and now he is a little uncomfortable.

Just sit on the sidelines, help your teammates, try out any ideas, and see if you can limit Milicic's passing in the NBA than on the international stage!
