It worked!

Rondo was shocked when he heard Liu Mang's opening offensive plan at the beginning of the game, but the boss said so, and he did his best to complete it.

Suddenly he was a starter, Rondo was excited but scared, this was him

With all the passes like that, it's a big confidence boost for Rondo!

Coach Krueger was also very happy with the exquisite cooperation of Rondo and Liu Mang, originally he wanted Battier to play as a starter, but Battier played the starter, and only Jason Terry was left on the bench with experience, just as Mike Woodson suggested using Rondo to defend Iverson and try it, just like the Lakers tried to use Tyronn Lue to defend Iverson.

However, on the offensive end, Rondo can deliver assists when Liu Mang and Maddie are both off-ball......

This is great!

But the focus is on defense!

Liu Mang didn't celebrate after scoring the goal, he immediately retreated, and the track and field team ran fast!

After promoting Andre Miller to Iverson, the Nuggets not to mention a big grade, there is still a small grade, at least stronger than the SuperSonics, and better than the Jazz team who are expected to win 50 games this year.

Iverson advanced with the ball, and when he got to the frontcourt, he saw that it was rookie Rondo who was defending him.

The thirty-year-old Iverson is very different from the past, he does not despise rookies, especially the rookies of the Hawks.

When Iverson arrived in the frontcourt, he was still more than a meter away from the three-point line, and suddenly accelerated to the right.

Rondo didn't fall for it, but moved half a step sideways with small broken steps.

Iverson immediately stopped the pace of the breakthrough, controlled the ball, and did not rush.

As a super scorer, Iverson's judgment of the opponent's defense is very good, and he feels the defensive awareness that ordinary players can't learn from Rondo, and the rash breakthrough without preparation is bound to be compressed into an uncomfortable position by the opponent.

Originally, seeing Rondo, although Iverson did not despise it, he still regretted that the person who guarded him was not Liu Mang, but now, Iverson is interested......

"Rookie, can you prevent it from this?"

After Iverson finished speaking to Rondo, the cat began to dribble with a large change of hands at the waist.

Rondo watched Iverson dribble and felt ...... It's all flawed!

Despite his talent, Rondo was still a rookie and couldn't help but reach out when Iverson slammed the ball down again!

Iverson keenly judged the movement of Rondo's body leaning forward before reaching out, and this time the shooting speed was extremely fast, and he suddenly moved sharply to the sideways and broke through the middle!

Kwame Brown quickly blocked up and blocked Iverson in one step inside the free throw line, Iverson's pull-up jumper is the way he now scores more than half of his points, Iverson distributed the ball to Camby, who pulled to the left baseline, Camby was just about to dribble in, and Liu Mang had already switched to him.

At the same time, there is also Nene on the other side for Anthony's off-ball blocking, Maddie defense Anthony is very serious in defense, Anthony has not been able to get rid of Maddy's sticky defense, until Nene helps to block and dismantle, he got the opportunity to cut on the right side.

Marion quickly changed defenses, or was overtaken by Anthony by a position, Camby's height was his passing advantage, although he couldn't see JR-Smith at a 45-degree angle behind him, but passed the ball to Anthony who cut in!

Anthony receives the ball and takes off to dunk!

"Smack"

Hatted!

After Kwame Brown successfully let Iverson pass the ball in the supplemental defense of Iverson, he turned around and closed it inside, rushing up to give Anthony a big hat!

But Anthony grabbed the rebound himself and got up again!

Liu Mang also took it in at this time, flew up, Anthony just lifted the ball, the ball just left his hand, and was fanned down again, Anthony quickly moved sideways, grabbed the ball again, and continued to be strong......

"Ding...... Hot Pot Feast Level 5 triggers ......"

"Smack......

With a 30% chance, Liu Mang triggered the hot pot feast again, perfectly judged Anthony's shooting route, and slapped the ball in Anthony's hand again......

Anthony's hands seemed to have an offensive rebounding "gravitational pull", and the ball still reached him......

Finally, it seems that the referee can't see it, and when Anthony continues to get strong, he is photographed by Kwame Brown, the referee's whistle blows, and when Anthony jumps, Kwame Brown pushes people to foul!

Anthony made two free throws.

At the beginning of the game, Liu Mang and Anthony's two shots had already detonated the scene.

Liu Mang was really amazing that time, the last time I saw that kind of attack, it was when Stockton was there, but Anthony's attack was ......

When Liu Mang went up to complain to the referee that the ball was not pushed by Kwamei Brown, the referee smiled and compared the action of pushing people, the referee was so professional that he couldn't help the urge to laugh.

Furious brush 3 boards!

Anthony had five seconds ahead and grabbed his three-sevenths of the rebounds in a game......

Anthony walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws, scoring 2 points and 3 rebounds in one round......

Liu Mang saw Anthony hit both free throws, and felt that this guy was really out of place with the other four in the top five of the 03 class, Milicic only had a 73 percent free throw shooting rate, Bosh was 74 percent, Wade was 69 percent, James was 63 percent, and Anthony had no free throw shooting rate below 80 percent in his career so far......

The Nuggets retreated quickly, George Karl advocated defensive counterattacks, and although the defensive effect was average, it can be seen from their average of 106 points per game and 103 points per game, but the defensive discipline was not bad.

Sending the ball to Rondo, the Eagles also followed quickly, and Liu Mang ran to the front court and cut in from the middle.

2-2 draw, although the Hawks got two points, but this is the Eagles' first attack in the real sense of the game, Rondo faced JR Smith's defense, saw Liu Mang take Iverson to the inside line, and immediately followed the breakthrough!

The unlucky version of Kobe Bryant really can't be prevented, JR Smith works very hard defensively, but it's a pity that the defensive awareness is like that, and it was passed by Rondo in one step.

When Liu Mang came out of the left side of the basket, he happened to see this scene, and at the same time noticed that Nenei was about to move towards a 45-degree angle, Liu Mang did not continue to run to the left 45-degree angle, and went around to the free throw line!

JR-Smith didn't have the consciousness to change the defense, and rushed in with Rondo, Kwame Brown blocked Iverson on his side, Camby didn't dare to expand because Rondo broke in, Marion noticed Nene's tendency to make up for Liu Mang, and immediately cut into the basket, Nene hurriedly followed, no matter how good Camby was, he couldn't stop Marion from rushing in directly without blocking, so he ...... Liu Mang's free throw line is empty!

Rondo hoists the ball behind his back!

At this time, Anthony made up for Liu Mang's defense, although Anthony gradually lost the desire to defend, just like the future king of Jingdezhen, after scoring awesomely, he was unwilling to defend, but Liu Mang was still very serious about defending and quickly made up for it.

But all this was expected by Rondo!

Maddie receives the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right side!

Adjusted a little, the three-point shot of the big gap......

Hit!

Amazing!

As a rookie, Rondo is amazing every time he plays!

Not to mention how he saw Maddie when JR-Smith and Anthony, who were taller than him, were both behind him, such an accurate pass was enough to make people praise from the bottom of their hearts!

But there wasn't much time for the Hawks fans to feel the amazement of Rondo's pass, and after being thrown into a three-pointer, Camby immediately picked up the ball and exited the baseline to Iverson, Anthony, Nene and JR Smith were already rushing up!

When Liu Mang received the serve and rushed up, he pressed up to block Iverson, but was thrown away by Iverson with a change of direction, Iverson rushed outside the three-point line and distributed the ball to JR-Smith, JR-Smith received the ball and cut into the inside line, and scored two points with one hand!

Run-and-boom!

The Nuggets' run!

Iverson was a little reluctant to admit it, but he did learn this way of advancing the organization and attacking from Nash, whom he had previously despised him.

More in-depth organizational offensive ability, Iverson didn't learn, Nash positional battle forced a fast attack, he can't learn, but this simple and rough advance pass, he can still learn, and he is faster than Nash! Even if he is about to be 32 years old, he is still faster than Nash at his peak!

As soon as Liu Mang ran back to the free throw line, Rondo, who was the first to rush back to his own basket, immediately sent the ball to Liu Mang.

"Boss, quick!" Rondo shouted anxiously at Liu Mang.

Because Rondo saw the opponent's messy defensive formation!

"This little brat!"

Liu Mang said a word in his heart, and immediately advanced quickly towards the front.

Now that they're all running, let's run and fight! When the lineup is not perfect, use offense to smooth out the flaws.

Liu Mang saw Maddie running over the middle line, and immediately passed to Maddy, Maddie received the ball and shook a shot, Anthony jumped up, Maddie's cat waist swept past Anthony, and the strongest first three steps broke into the inside, just now the Hawks failed to fall into a good defensive formation, and the Nuggets did the same. Maddie rushed in for an easy layup and scored two points.

It's a mess!

Both teams have started a chaotic battle mode, Liu Mang received the ball and had a chance to shoot by himself, and passed it out if he didn't, since it was decided to hand over the ball to Maddie and Rondo, it was necessary to stick to it.

Liu Mang's three-point is a point that the opponent wants to block, and he takes advantage of this, and more opportunities to shoot appear in the middle distance and under the basket.

After the two teams fouled Kwame Brown at the beginning, there was no foul, and the referee couldn't find too many opportunities to blow tightly, and played to the seventh minute of the first quarter, finally, the Nuggets ushered in the second foul in the half quarter, and Liu Mang, who received the ball outside the three-point line and shook a shot to break through, Liu Mang threw a cannon when the opponent pressed up, Bo got two free throws, and the game entered the official timeout!

……

Relying on Marion and Maddie each hitting a three-pointer, the Hawks were 21-18, temporarily leading by three points, and Liu Mang also had two free throws.

is also an outside dual-core, and the Eagles have a little more advantage.

But such an advantage ......

Coach Kruger felt that his brain was starting to hurt again!

When Rondo came on as the starting point guard, he didn't know how to control the tempo!

Rondo's judgment of the opponent's defensive holes and the accuracy of the pass are indeed very good, but the choice of organizing the attack at the slightest point is not appropriate at all.

It's good to take advantage of the opponent's defensive holes, but attacking and retreating at the same time, Rondo doesn't understand this for the time being.

"It's not everyone's Ace...... Coach Kruger sighed.

He was expecting Rondo to be in control from the start of the game, but it turned out to be mediocre, their starting lineup was still very dominant, but they couldn't control the tempo.

If you want to replace Rondo in advance, you can't do it, without Rondo, there will be no kind of fast-moving point guard, Maddie is not good at that kind of organization, Liu Mang is determined to be a scorer, and rashly replaced Rondo in advance, the opponent has already run out of rhythm, but he can't hold it down.

So Coach Krueger didn't replace Rondo in advance and held on until the official timeout.

However, Rondo got 1 point, 2 boards, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers in 7 minutes, and gave Kwame Brown, Maddy, and Marion a subtle assist each.

Coach Kruger was generally satisfied with Rondo's performance.

Not as good as Liu Mang...... It's definitely not as good as Liu Mang's rookie season, playing an average of 20+ per game off the bench, and the historic rookie performance, except for James, other champions since the new century can't compare to Liu Mang's rookie season performance.

But he was able to get 3 assists in seven minutes, Coach Kruger was very satisfied, two mistakes, Iverson also had two mistakes, one of which was a steal behind Rondo's back to Liu Mang to counterattack and dunk, if that time is also an assist, Rondo has four assists, better than Iverson, who also has 3 assists, in terms of passing!

It's just that Iverson still has a performance of 5 points on 2-of-3 shooting, and Rondo can't catch up.

After reassuring himself, Coach Kruger began to make substitutions.

Since Liu Mang had two free throws yet to be penalized, Coach Kruger thought about it for a while and began to make personnel adjustments: "Ace, Jason, go up and continue to run and play ......"

……

The Eagles' side came in handy......

Liu Mang...... Jason Terry...... Battier...... Granger...... Marion......

There's really no one left!

Why didn't Liu Mang stop Rondo's rhythm control mistakes? It's because they don't have a real center now except for Kwame Brown and Hollins!

Granger went to the power forward position, Marion went to the center position, and in fact, Granger was better than Marion...... A little higher......

Before going on the field, Coach Kruger patted Liu Mang's shoulder and said: "Ace, don't be pressured, we are very stable in third, and we will rest when we are tired." ”

Liu Mang said...... I don't have any pressure, just go up and vote!

Battier and Granger are excited that their main teammates are gone, and they can play earlier!

Although it was sad that some teammates left, they had already thought of this at that time, and only when someone left, someone had a chance to take the position!

"Ace, how are we going to fight?" Jason Terry is jumping for it.

"Just vote for it! Seduce the guy on the other side who is five centimeters shorter than you to cast with us! ”

"That's a good idea...... Wait, what do you mean to be shorter than me! ”
