Three-two defense, a team tactic against players with a three-point advantage on the periphery.

The biggest advantage of a player with a three-point strength is to open up space and help teammates or break through on their own.

Three-two defense can be a good deal against three-pointers in international competitions.

But......

The problem is that this is not an international competition!

Rondo waved at Kwame Brown and got Kwame Brown out of the three-second zone.

Oku is definitely not leaving, and Kwame Brown has no shooting ability, and he still has to stay in the three-second zone.

Rondo counted, and two seconds before Kwame Brown left the three-second zone, Rondo started to break through!

Rondo, who was ready to break through for a long time, left Delon behind with a change of direction, Delon was not bad defensively, but it was definitely a notch worse than Paul, and it was only a notch behind him in the second grade, and he was easily passed by Rondo.

Rondo grasped the timing very well this time, breaking through one second or even half a second earlier, Oku will not leave the three-second zone, as long as there is a distance of an arm that can be reached out to the defender, he will not be blown to defend for three seconds, if it is suddenly late, Oku will go back immediately after leaving the three-second zone, Rondo has just the right grasp of the timing!

Rondo burst into the three-second zone, forcing Kirilenko in the joint defense to shrink in, and compressing the Jazz's three-two defense became a two-three defense!

Liu Mang was running here, pulling the top arc into the air, Rondo's pass behind his head was thrown to the top arc, and Maddie received the ball for three points......

Unfortunately, Maddie missed the shot in the open position.

But Rondo stuck Oku with the size of a skinny short point guard, grabbed the offensive rebound, and drew a foul on Oku.

The toss was broken, only making a shot and not making a shot, and Rondo high-fived Kwame Brown to the free throw line with some chagrin.

But it's already a sight to behold, and Rondo always finds opportunities like that!

Coach Sloan's eyes were red: What kind of draft vision is this?

Boozer didn't fancy it back then, originally in time and space, they used a high salary to attract Boozer to join, but in this time and space, in order to get Boozer, he was pit by the Hawks A No. 6 pick, although Rondo was selected this time Although he didn't perform much at the beginning of the season, he was already a very good point guard of the young generation by the middle of the season, which is not bad compared to DeLong last season!

Looking at Rondo who walked to the free throw line, Coach Sloan's eyes were so red that he couldn't do it, he felt that Rondo seemed to be more talented than Delon who was selected with a high draft pick under his hands, as long as he practiced shooting, he was definitely much better than Delon and could even be used to compare with the point guard selected by the Hornets.

However, Coach Sloan saw Rondo go to the free-throw line and make both free throws...... I feel a little more comfortable, at least for a year or two, this guy can't practice shooting, and the basic skills of shooting are basically equal to zero......

Liu Mang also hurts, with Rondo's breakthrough, if the free throw can have an average level of more than 70 percent, his offensive threat will be much greater.

Now like this, the opponent really can't prevent it, just foul directly, and Oku was just grabbed by Rondo for an offensive rebound.

Two free throws are iron, which is equivalent to a mistake after this offensive rebound.

Both teams wanted to win and the situation was scorching from the start.

Compared with the first meeting this season, which was pressed by the Jazz for three quarters, the Hawks relied on the three eagles to chase the points together in the last quarter, and this time it was much better, and the game was at least deadlocked at the beginning.

Deron and Boozer's new double-shaking combination is difficult to deal with, from an offensive point of view, it is more powerful than the old double-shass of the year, the center position can pull out and shoot three-pointers, which is not enjoyed by the old twins, Oku with a three-point shooting rate of 44.6 percent, an average of 4.2 shots per game to make 1.9 three-pointers, too scary.

Liu Mang felt why the Rockets with Yao Ming in the original time and space would be pressed by the Jazz to play the playoffs and never win once.

The Jazz team has a top defense, Kirisek has a first-class defensive rating of 85, Kirilenko is the favorite for the best defensive player, second on the block list, although Delon is not as good as Paul, but he also has a quasi-first-class defense, Oku can squat under the basket, and Boozer makes up for the poor defense from the outside.

has a top-level defensive configuration, and the Jazz team on the offensive end is not weak, averaging 102 points per game, what they are good at is grinding, one after another mid-range shots and air cuts, so that the opponent is in a state of anxiety, and finally they are grinding to death.

On the defensive end, the Hawks tried their best to defend, Boozer couldn't prevent this, Boozer, who almost never shoots three-pointers, can average 22 points per game with a 57 percent shooting rate, and his insolvability on the offensive end is comparable to Nowitzki and Duncan, if it weren't for being half a head shorter than these two, Boozer could almost be called unsolvable on the offensive end.

Of course, Coach Sloan's pick-and-roll system is the key, and the combination with Delon, with Delon's pass, has greatly improved Boozer's performance.

On the defensive end, they tried to limit the Jazz, and on the offensive end, the Hawks focused on mid-to-long-range shooting.

Rondo can easily compress the Jazz's outside defense to the inside, which is the advantage of the Hawks, Rondo's breakthrough and organizational offensive awareness is better than last year's Iguodala, compressing the Jazz's defensive system that was quite restrained by the Hawks last season to the inside.

Liu Mang has Rondo in control, Maddie in the middle, and devotes himself to scoring and defending Delon, scoring 12 points on 4-of-9 shooting in the first quarter, and a 40 percent three-point shooting rate of 2 out of 5, making it quite difficult for him to score, such a high three-point shot has a 40 percent shooting rate, not to mention this era, even in the future three-point explosion era, it can make the opponent panic.

After the official timeout in the first quarter, Blake replaced Rondo, Blake's performance in the game was decent, no breakthrough, but there were stable three-point points, the pass was very cautious, and it became Maddie's main control, Maddie learned quickly, and soon imitated Rondo's offensive organization that he didn't know how long he had been preparing for a good time, maybe Maddie himself didn't understand Rondo's thoughts, after all, the future test god will never understand Rondo's thoughts, but just do it.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 25, with a decent scoring performance.

Both teams defended well, with no one else on the Jazz scoring more than five points in a single quarter, except for Boozer's 10 points and two assists in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, Coach Kruger did not replace Liu Mang.

12 points, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, Liu Mang did not do anything else except scoring, defense, and rebounding, such a simple puzzle player's style of play, Coach Kruger was not worried about Liu Mang's physical problems, so Liu Mang continued to play in the second quarter.

Second line-up...... Coach Kruger didn't think too much about the defensive end, and Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Battier, David Lee, and Fetzer played the lineup.

In the second quarter, the Hawks' defense began to get hot-eyed......

The Hawks want to rest their main team, but the Jazz won't.

The Hawks have already received honors, and the next thing is to create greatness, and the Jazz have been producing results in the past two years, and the core lineup of the most "old" Okudu is 28 years old and is in his prime, and Matt Harprin, who is 31 years old on the bench, is also an excellent 3D small forward, and the Jazz sent a lineup of Delon, CJ Myers, Harplin, Louis Armondez, and Boozer in the second quarter.

As soon as the second quarter came up, CJ Myers received a pass from Delong and met Liu Mang's defense for a three-point shot, and scored!

"CJ Myers, 19, 70 Ability, 77 Offense, 59 Defense, 80 Three-point Range, 62 Shots, 81 ...... Layup"

Looking at this ability evaluation, a sophomore player was only 19 years old, and Liu Mang couldn't help but squirt: "Another damn high school student." ”

It's so good to die, Liu Mang said it out loud, CJ Myers looked at Liu Mang innocently, and felt so aggrieved: "Isn't this the style of play that you learned?" And you used to be the team with the most high school students! ”

There is a reason why Liu Mang has no impression of CJ Myers, CJ Myers, who was only 18 years old last season, did not get much chance to play, he was injured in training camp this season, and he just returned this month, and his performance was average, Coach Sloan was reluctant to let him play, it was too prodigal, and there was no capital for profliginacy.

After receiving a pass from Jason Terry, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt.

Looking at the opponent's defensive position, Boozer played center, Liu Mang knew that this guy must have suggested that he play center, and expected that they would use a small lineup.

Liu Mang made a gesture and asked David Lee to go to the low position, and David Li excitedly went to the position.

In terms of body size, David Lee and Boozer are on par, with similar height and weight, and David Lee is relatively better in static strength.

Liu Mang hoisted the ball to David Lee, who was stuck in Boozer, and David Lee took advantage of the threat of a mid-range shot to shake Boozer, who had average defensive ability, away, and turned around beautifully in the low post to throw the ball out.

It may be that the hand is not good, or it may be too excited, David Lee throws a lot of power!

However, Fetzer bumped Amondson off the ponytail and burst out from three seconds out, knocking Amondson away and pressing the ball back to the basket!

David Lee threw the iron, Liu Mang couldn't help but slap his thighs hard, but he didn't expect that Fetzer, who had a lot of fouls in the last game, made a meritorious contribution today!

The Hawks also scored the first offense of the second quarter.

But...... For a player who has been away from the NBA for more than a year and has not been wanted by another team, even though he has been the No. 4 pick, don't expect too much.

When it came to the Jazz offense, Delon and Boozer blocked and dismantled, and Fetzer, who switched to Delon, kept up, but after DeLong burst to the inside, Fetzer had obviously covered Delon's shooting space, but pressed it, and Delon jumped up, hit Fetzer, and threw the ball out.

The referee's whistle blows, and Fetzel fouls DeLong defensively!

A foul is a foul, and Fetzer stopped making a move after the foul, watching the ball fly over his head and fall into the frame.

"Marcus, if you foul him, slap him on the floor! How can you watch him vote? Liu Mang couldn't help but squirt.

Delon's balance in the confrontation is second to none among point guards in the league! What was this guy thinking?

"......" Fitzel kept his head and didn't speak, he was yelled at by a second-round show that was one year late, and he was not very happy.

Although Liu Mang is recognized as one of the best players in the league, "people are poor and short-minded" is well reflected in Fetzel, who is the proudest of his basketball career and only has the identity of the No. 4 show.

Some people can't help it, but they can't help it, and Liu Mang is too lazy to say it.

It was Delong's side that was startled when he heard Liu Mang's words.

"What do you mean by slapping on the floor? We're friends! Delong felt that Liu Mang was too terrible, and his strength was secondary, and this little senior was very bad!

Liu Mang watched Delong hit a free throw and hit it 2+1, stretching the score to 31-27, and the difference was 4 points.

After Liu Mang received Jason Terry's serve, he took a deep breath and calmed down, there was still a long time, playing one by one, and when it came to the rotation lineup, although there were some disadvantages, there were also some advantages in dealing with the Jazz's relatively not so strong second lineup!

Liu Mang is in charge of the game, he is in control, and the chances he can create will not be lower than if he played without the ball!

Using David Lee's ability to score under the basket, using Fetzel's impact, as well as Jason Terry's single shot, Battier's three-point and two-setter, Liu Mang tried his best to bring out the advantages of the offensive end, focusing on shooting when he had the opportunity!

Without Kirilenko's help defense, Halprin is very good, but it must be far from Kirilenko, Liu Mang focused on the game and played very well, scoring 9 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, helping the Hawks score 16 points in the first half of the quarter, relying on Liu Mang to meet Haplin's three-point shot in the sixth minute and 12 seconds, the Hawks overtook the Jazz by one point at 41-39, and Coach Sloan called a timeout and entered the official timeout.

Dawdling!

Liu Mang's definition of the Jazz team is a team that grinds to the extreme!

is different from the Spurs' pressing rhythm, and it is not the same as the former Pistons' defense to the death, whether the Jazz team is offensive or defensive, Liu Mang feels a sense of grinding.

And it's extremely easy to pull your opponent into that kind of grinding rhythm.

Back on the bench, Liu Mang took the towels and training clothes handed over by the team staff, he knew that he had to rest for a while, and then Rondo and Maddie led the team.

Liu Mang began to think about the question that he had never thought of last night - how did the Lakers, who were not so strong in time and space, kill the Jazz in the playoffs for three consecutive years? And why didn't the Rockets have a chance at all?
