831. Exposed weaknesses, adjusted direction (7000 words big chapter asking for a monthly pass!) )
It's still the world that the old-timers have seen more, Hill sent the ball to Nelson, and then took the initiative to ask for the ball from the backcourt to advance, control the rhythm, and avoid the team being made by Liu Mang's strange three-point can't help but speed up.
It's so easy to get back in the way you don't want to fight.
Or rather, it's too much!
After Hill advanced to the front court, he still started to sit and play from the outside, Liu Mang once again wrapped the past, Hill immediately passed the ball to Jamison, Jamison did not make a strong shot, rushed to the basket from the right side, dodged the defense that Liu Mang made up, Maddie came up to make up for the defense, and Jamison gave Christie in the bottom corner on the right side.
Christie received the ball and did not shoot, and immediately cut inside after receiving the ball, even though Christie is 35 years old, but his height of a 1.98-meter tall shooting guard still has to be defended under the basket, Rasheed Wallace stood on the right side of the three-second zone to help defend, and Maddie also retracted the bottom line.
At this time, Christie's passing ability was reflected, and he threw it towards the free throw line, and Rahim quietly retreated to the position of one step inside the free throw line to receive the ball!
Liu Mang immediately made up for it, Rahim received the ball to meet Liu Mang's pounce, and shot a jump shot from close range!
In the last year of the Hawks, he played a blue-collar role of receiving and shooting, and what Raheem gained the most was not only the championship, but also a more stable ability to catch and shoot!
Raheem's close-range jumper also hits! Four points in a row at the beginning!
The race has been in a stalemate phase from the very beginning!
The Hawks tried to pick up the pace, but the Magic stuck to a slow-paced game.
Rahim knows the Eagles too well, although the current new version of cavalry tactics is very different from the previous cavalry tactics, but the concept is the same, Rahim has played cavalry tactics in the Eagles for three years, and Rahim knows very well how terrible the Eagles are after bringing the rhythm up, especially now that the Eagles are focusing on the new version of cavalry tactics, which makes Rahim very jealous, so he has already discussed with Hill to control the rhythm.
Hill, on the other hand, is an all-round playmaker of the older generation who can control the tempo very well.
Back play is one of the best ways to control the rhythm of the attack!
The two teams were held together for more than four minutes, and the Magic side kept a steady rhythm by creating opportunities for the outside and then turning to the inside attack.
On the Hawks' side, they couldn't get up to speed for half a day, because the Magic frontcourt trio had too good rebounding ability, and all three of them were flexible, tall and rebounding-minded frontcourt players, and the Hawks were at a disadvantage in rebounding and could only speed up, not counterattack.
The Eagles wanted to speed up but couldn't counterattack, and encountered a big rhythm problem, the Eagles' physical advantage was contained, which in turn affected the outside shooting, and the Magic team began to exert more defensive pressure on Liu Mang's side after Prince and Raheem missed two open three-pointers in a row, and when Maddy's side singled Christie, the outside shooting effect was not good, and Howard and Raheem, who was strong in the defense, did not play well.
In the fourth minute and 15 seconds of the first quarter, the Hawks took another one-point lead at 11-10 thanks to Kwame Brown's difficult offensive rebound and dunk.
When it came to the Magic's offense again, Jamison advanced to the front court and hoisted the ball to Hill in the top corner of the left corner of the free throw line, and Hill continued to play with his back in the high post.
Only Prince, who is two meters and six meters tall and has an arm span of two meters and two meters, can only defend Hill, Maddie is not so good at backing, and Liu Mang is short.
Just now Jamison has already scored a three-pointer, giving Liu Mang the pressure of defending three points, Jamison is also a convulsive player, it's really hard to say if the shot is accurate, at this time, Hill took advantage of no one to wrap up, turned around and quickly cut in from the middle, not at all like a guy who was worried about an ankle injury after four consecutive seasons, and turned with sharp steps, as if dreaming back to ten years ago, straight into the basket from the middle.
Rasheed Wallace carried Howard, Kwame Brown came out to make up for it, Hill made a subtle inside pass and sent the ball out of Kwame Brown's waist, Raheem received the ball and hit a low-handed layup with a defensive lever that Rasheed Wallace pounced on.
Four minutes and thirty seconds!
12-11, the Magic team overtook the score again!
The Eagles were beaten at home and called a timeout!
After the Magic team saw that they could stabilize the score, they played more and more confidently, and even the pressure on the away team was restrained!
……
Liu Mang saw that he called a timeout, took the ball and prepared to shoot a few to find a feeling, his left hand was to throw one, but his right hand couldn't be thrown, he played too hard today, a feeling of not being able to exert his strength, the feeling of wanting to run up and play but running was too awkward, there was no advantage in rebounding, the speed could not get up, he couldn't fight back, the shooting rhythm was not right, the shooting rhythm of his teammates was not right, and the defense encountered on his side was stricter...... The combination of various circumstances caused Liu Mang's whole state to be not good.
As soon as Liu Mang got the ball from the referee, he heard Coach Kruger's call: "Ace, come here!" ”
Liu Mang immediately ran back to the bench, is there any change in the coach?
"Ace, you and Tracy have a little more shots, Andre, you go guard Hill's back, Nazr, go up and increase the ......impact of the rebound," Coach Kruger adjusted the lineup.
When Iguodala heard about the anti-back, he immediately became energetic, he didn't know when he was the best at back-defense.
Muhammad was under a lot of pressure when he heard that he was going to fight against Rahim, but he was never one to shirk responsibility, even if he was not strong enough.
When Liu Mang heard this arrangement, he really wanted to say whether to change Josh Smith, Muhammad couldn't keep up, but he was afraid of saving Muhammad's face, people, the higher he went, the more he worried.
……
After the timeout, on the Hawks' side, Liu Mang, Iguodala, Maddy, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown came on the court.
The Magic team also made substitutions, the new and old "three cores" Hill, Raheem, and Howard continued to play, Hill is really a magical player, except for the four or five games at the beginning of the season, he only played more than 20 minutes, and after the state came up, the average playing time per game was more than 35 minutes, Raheem and Howard are both the main players who play 40 minutes per game, and both are iron man type players.
The Magic switched to DeSean Stevenson as point guard, Tekoglu as small forward, and Hill as shooting guard, in other words, this lineup, without a point guard, is a small forward and a shooting guard to organize the offense.
However, this lineup, the mid-range shooting is extremely powerful!
Liu Mang came up and saw that the Magic team had changed to a "star-studded" lineup!
Turkoglou and DeSean Stevenson both have three-point ability, and Hill and Raheem are both accurate in the shots! And four players with a height of two meters and three and above!
The Eagles attacked, choosing the ball in the front court, and after Liu Mang received the ball, DeSean Stevenson defended it.
Stevenson, the "little emperor's old enemy" with height, speed, strength, and defensive talent, gave Liu Mang a lot of defensive pressure.
Maddie received the ball, immediately accelerated to break through, the first three quick steps ran faster and faster, leaving Turkoglu behind, Turkoglu couldn't keep up at all, at this time Liu Mang rushed from behind Maddie and Turkoglu to the bottom right corner, Muhammada came out to help Liu Mang block Deshane Stevenson, Maddie burst to the inside line to bring the defense on the right side of the basket to the basket, and then distributed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball in the bottom corner and turned around for a three-point shot......
"Ding...... Triggered by the Quick Shot Master Level 5, this time the catch and shot is not disturbed by running, and the shooting speed is accelerated by 30 percent......"
The discomfort after Liu Mang's fast run disappeared completely, and when he turned to shoot, he felt the same as standing there receiving the ball and turning to shoot, and the speed of the shot became faster, and before DeSean Stevenson actively got rid of Muhammad's block and pounced, he had already turned and threw the ball to the basket!
The perfect shooting feeling, Liu Mang received the ball and turned around and hit a three-point shot!
At 14-12, the Hawks once again led by two points.
It's time for the Magic to attack again, and the Magic lineup is ...... It's too tall!
The point was that Hill's possession was too good, and Iguodala pressed Hill close to the court, but couldn't make a tackle.
Once up front, seemingly "fearful" of Iguodala's ability to defend his back, Hill passed the ball to Turkoglou, who attacked with the ball at the top arc.
With a height of two meters and eight meters, he plays the position of small forward, and he is a rare organizational forward in the real sense of the league, taller than Maddie in front of him.
Tekoglu's trademark sideways leaning against Maddie to avoid a steal because the center of gravity was too high, at which point the rest of the Magic team started to run, and Hill cut inside to take away some of the defense.
Liu Mang ran with Stevenson, this guy played against the Cavaliers twice this season, and began to scare James for being addicted, he was the first player this season to say that James was a "despicable clown", bluntly said that the league favored James, "Terminator-of-Kings" is the meaning of the King's Terminator, the Little Emperor's Terminator, and the Little Emperor's rival, which has become his self-proclaimed nickname, but it is a small fame in the United States.
But this guy does have three-point accuracy, and he has made 3 three-pointers in a row under James' defense, the kind of one-on-one singles, and the career-high 26 points are what James got at the beginning of the season who had not practiced defense.
Just when all the attention was on Hill and DeSean Stevenson, a man who had been low-key rebounding last season and was still easy to ignore this season with an average of 25 points per game this season was once again overlooked.
Raheem ran back, Hill helped Rahim block Muhammad, Rahim cut into the basket, Tegkru leaned sideways as if watching DeSean Stevenson run, but threw the ball to the basket, Rahim scored two points with an empty dunk!
Turkish magician!
The Magic team still struggled to play position, insisting on positional play, especially after changing to a big lineup, the rhythm was extremely slow.
When it comes to the Eagles' offense and playing small ball, there is actually no clear shooting candidate, and whoever has the opportunity will send the ball to whom, but the flaw of that style of play is that when the counterattack can't play and the rhythm is wrong, there is no clear shot choice, which often leads to shooting hesitation, because there is no good way.
Thanks to Coach Kruger, Liu Mang and Maddie strengthened their double cooperation, and they had a clear choice of shots, which was much better for Liu Mang.
Liu Mang did not hold the ball himself, but sent the ball to Maddie, who advanced to the front court and passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang revealed his feelings, and received the ball to face DeSean Stevenson's defense and pulled out a three-point shot!
"Ding...... Quick Shot Master Level 5 trigger, this time the catch shooting speed is accelerated by 30 percent......"
"Ding...... The king of dry pulling is triggered at level 5, and this shot ignores the shooting interference......"
Feel a smooth and smooth! DeSean Stevenson didn't expect Liu Mang to throw like this, and when he pounced on the defense, Liu Mang's shot was too fast, and he didn't have time to interfere at all.
Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row!
When it came to the Magic offense again, the Hawks began to strengthen their defense under the basket, these four players above 2.03 meters plus a 1.96-meter 3D pitcher, except for Liu Mang chasing DeSean Stevenson outside, and Maddy defending Tekoglou in the top arc, the other three all shrank.
Tekoglu gestured when he saw this, and then directly relied on his height to shoot Maddie's three-point shot!
Although there is a height advantage, the bounce gap is too big, and Tekoglu is five centimeters taller than Maddie, but he was forced to fall back and shoot by Maddie, and decisively missed the shot.
However, the Magic's interior advantage once again exerted its power, Kwame Brown had to fight with Howard, Howard didn't care about anything today, so he desperately fought with Kwame Brown to grab rebounds, Howard, who was holding back a sad and angry mentality, really restrained Kwame Brown!
Raheem caught the attention of Iguodala and Rashid Wallace, and Hill grabbed the offensive rebound, threw the ball to the basket when he landed, and hit it!
Both sides played very efficiently, the Hawks started Liu Mang's scoring show, after Liu Mang played out, he relied on Maddie to make the ball for him, and after the pause in the first quarter, he has maintained an efficient shooting performance, scoring 16 points in the next eight minutes and 19 points in a single quarter, and the Hawks have always maintained their lead.
But the Magic team, on the other hand, did not fall behind too much, after the first quarter, the Hawks scored 31 points, but the Magic team also scored 26 points!
……
The Magic team did not waver in their style of play because of Liu Mang's soaring scores, and always insisted on playing in the position.
In the second quarter, Liu Mang continued to maintain a good shooting performance, and Maddie played full of offense and defense in the first quarter, and Jason Terry was replaced to help Liu Mang.
But Jason Terry mainly plays individual singles with the ball, and Liu Mang mainly uses running positions to open up space for Jason Terry, or occasionally catch and shoot.
Liu Mang also played well, scoring 11 points in the second quarter, but Jason Terry was defended by DeSean Stevenson! In the rare case of being able to play a counterattack, Jason Terredshawn Stevenson defended it, resulting in the Hawks scoring just 21 points in the second quarter!
It's not easy to use Iguodala to organize the offense, Calderon came up to replace Jason Terry for a while, and the rhythm is not right, except for Liu Mang, everyone else is not allowed to shoot in the open position.
The Magic team has always adhered to the style of play, with Liu Mangjia on the defensive end guarding the backcourt rebounding, and the offensive end relying on the outside shooting and rebounding ability and Raheem's personal advantages to stick to the position.
At halftime, the Magic overtook the score!
Relying on Raheem's brutal performance of 22 points and 9 rebounds in the half, as well as Hill and Turkoglou's rhythm control, the Magic team played a single quarter score of 28-21 in the second quarter, and outscored the Hawks by two points at halftime 54-52!
……
At halftime, seeing that the score was overtaken, Liu Mang figured out what was wrong when he saw the Magic team's offense at the beginning of the game, and now he finally understands that the first goal scored by the Magic team at the beginning of grabbing an offensive rebound was John Davis's tactics!
The Magic are playing the same tactics that Howard will play in his prime!
The style of play of shooting outside and rushing to grab offensive rebounds on the inside is not that Howard only played like this after he entered his prime, but he played like this at the beginning, and the Magic team has been cultivating in this direction since Howard had Howard, and has been working hard in the direction of cultivating Howard's rebounding and defense.
Because Howard does not have O'Neal's skills, nor does he have O'Neal's body, in addition to rebounding and defensive talent, there is no dominating talent in other aspects of the body, especially the lower limb strength is very average from the beginning, and it belongs to the ultimate version of the jumping center, Howard basically has no ball control, strong upper body strength but hard muscles, so the Magic team did not let Howard practice face frame singles, let alone let Howard practice his back at the end, Howard who has been trained from the beginning to grab rebounds and secondary offense, Defend these three areas.
This kind of cultivation method, when Howard originally encountered the core of the ball control was Francis who was mainly a breakthrough, it didn't match at all, and the Magic team waited until Francis was sent away to touch the playoffs for the first time, and they have been staying away from the playoffs.
But this time is different, in addition to Howard, they also have Raheem, and Hill has the opportunity to hold the ball, and he was not delayed by Francis's sticky ball play, Hill, Raheem, and Howard immediately gave the Magic team playoff strength, and Hill, who has the worst rebounding of the three, has the ability to average five or six rebounds per game, and the three form the strongest rebounding trio in the league.
That is, the three-point score of the Magic team's current lineup is too ordinary, otherwise with Hill's high-level strategy, Turkoglou's top-arc organization, Raheem and Howard's rebounding ability, and Raheem's low-post strong eating, the Magic team can already take off.
Liu Mang also understood why Coach Kruger didn't replace Josh Smith, but replaced Muhammad, because in the last few minutes, the Hawks were beaten 10-4 because of Josh Smith.
Did Coach Kruger not know that Mohammed could not keep up with Rahim?
It's not, but because Josh Smith is not as good as Muhammad in grabbing rebounds, he also went up a bit, and used Josh Smith to go up to prevent Raheem's mobile ability, which did have an effect, but the Hawks were poorly protected by rebounding at that time, although Raheem's air cut and single scoring were limited by Josh Smith's sticking defense, but the Hawks and Magic scored in the second quarter was still equal, but as soon as Josh Smith went up, the rebounding ball was blown up, and the Magic team played a wave of 10-4 before halftime, It was two points at once.
……
When the opponent has a top star like Raheem on the inside, the most important thing is that the opponent has Howard and Raheem, the two major interior combinations, the rebounding advantage is obvious, and the Hawks' small-ball tactics have been greatly impacted!
Sure enough, the situation that Maddy and Coach Kruger were worried about arose, and Mike Woodson and Liu Mang didn't have a good solution.
Back to positional warfare?
Coach Krueger didn't do that, he wanted to see how many shortcomings in the team's existing small-ball style could be exposed in order to better address them, and Maddie had a break and played the full second half.
After playing several games of small ball, Coach Kruger has seen that, as Liu Mang said, the future is an era of small ball, and they are creating a new era.
Although the rest of the league does not recognize it, Coach Kruger sees the potential of small-ball tactics, that is, defensive run-and-shoot, and many people now mistakenly think that the Hawks play the same tactics as the Suns, but they don't see that the Hawks have a net difference of 5 points higher than the Suns during the small-ball game!
The average goal difference of 11 points per game during the small-ball tactics is not as good as the fourteen-five-five-point goal advantage of last season, but it is still the top performance in history. The Bulls in the first three rows all had a nine-point net difference.
Because there are too many powerful interior lines now, other teams disdain to play this kind of game, but the Hawks don't have that kind of dominant interior line, the best interior line is Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown is a very physical fit for small ball, and can also defend low posts, and the position defense is good, but he and Rasheed Wallace do not have the ability to attack inside, so switching to small-ball play is what Coach Kruger must do after he finds that this kind of play can bring out the team's talents, in addition to the inside, Iguodala on the outside, Korver, are also suitable for small-ball tactics.
……
After the start of the second half, Liu Mang continued to focus on scoring, which means that he and Maddie can continue to score steadily.
Liu Mang continued to shoot mainly after coming up in the third quarter, but because the team's offense was suppressed worse and worse, the Hawks were fighting, and only Liu Mang and Maddie were left to score, which can be seen most obviously, that is, Maddie scored 9 points in a single quarter, which is usually Maddie's half-game score!
Liu Mang was under more defensive pressure in the third quarter, taking 10 shots in a single quarter, hitting only 3 shots and scoring 11 points.
Maddie scored nine points, but the assists were only two in the quarter.
The Magic's side is getting smoother and smoother, and the defensive counterattack against the Hawks is becoming more and more targeted.
Coach Kruger has been making substitutions trying to adjust, but none of them have had too good an effect.
The main thing is rebounding!
Liu Mang scored 41 points in the third quarter, but the Hawks were 75-84, 9 points behind the Magic!
In the fourth quarter, the Magic team has already gained momentum, Raheem scored 16 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, completely blowing up the Hawks' interior line, Raheem, who scored 33 points in the first three quarters, scored 16 points in the final quarter, and scored 49 points and 16 boards in the whole game!
Howard was bullied by Kwame Brown very badly, but the grieving Howard and gave Kwame Brown a lot of restrictions, Howard only got 6 points and 9 boards, and Kwame Brown only got 11 points and 10 boards, which didn't play a big role, that is, he was paired with Howard.
But Kwame Brown was traded away by Howard, and no one was going to fight Raheem for rebounds!
The Magic had a 51-39 rebound run in this game, 12 more rebounds than the Hawks!
Especially offensive rebounds, the Magic grabbed 18 offensive rebounds! And the Eagles only have 5!
Although Liu Mang also scored 12 points in the final quarter and 23 points in the second half, the Hawks only scored 23 points in the third quarter, 20 points in the fourth quarter, and only 43 points in the half, and Liu Mang scored 23 points alone!
Maddie's side tried to organize the offense to no avail, so he could only try his best to make the ball for Liu Mang, his outside shot was interfered with by Turkoglou, and he was caught in the middle of the shot, and the rest of the Hawks couldn't shoot, only he and Liu Mang could score.
Liu Mang got 53 points, 4 boards and 4 assists in the whole game, and Maddie got 21 points, 5 boards and 10 assists, but 7 of the 10 assists were passed to Liu Mang, accounting for 70 percent, and in a game, Maddie's direct pass to Liu Mang usually accounts for about 30 percent of the assists.
When Maddie gave 70% of the assists to Liu Mang, it proved that there was a big problem with the Eagles' offense!
In the end, Liu Mang scored 53 points and scored 74 points with Maddy, but the Hawks lost 95-102 to the Magic at home! Seven wins streak ended!
……
……
With a 14-3 record, the Hawks' record was tied by the Suns and Pistons.
Losing is a common thing, but losing has to be valuable, players like Liu Mang and Maddie are very depressed, but the coaching staff is still very satisfied.
Liu Mang and Maddie were working hard all over the audience, and others were also working hard, but they just happened to be restrained.
But this game was the first time the Eagles encountered a real challenge since they started playing small-ball tactics!
But it was also the case that the team's problems were really discovered.
How to deal with this kind of team with a strong power forward has become another topic of research for the Eagles coaching staff.
I thought of a lot of ways in the game, but the time was tight and I didn't really make an effective response.
Now that they have lost, the Hawks coaching staff did not blame the players, but praised the players for their efforts, and then the coaching staff had to stay up late and work overtime again......
The most depressed is Liu Mang, 53 points!
I actually lost!
Isn't this the same as the little blacksmith, Short Sen and Mai in the first round, who became a 50+ losing man?
