Carter was very unhappy and angry about being blocked, and he was even more unhappy when he saw Raheem who was counterattacking.

Carter started the singles, which was to dunk one to get back on the court.

And Liu and Si have been plotting with the increasingly insidious Mike Woodson for a long time before the game, and found that it is very difficult to deal with Kidd, a guy who is very smart and can avoid his own flaws, so in this case, he will start with others.

Carter, who has always been criticized for his winning and losing intentions and complained about too many show-offs, has become the target of the three yin people.

Looking at Carter's style of play, the Nets are going crazy!

Carter's chance of a single dunk is extremely low, because he is too obvious a target, and the opponent will definitely target him, and then when he is thinking about how to dunk, the pass button seems to be broken.

The Nets were overshadowed by the Hawks at the beginning!

Carter averaged 29.6 points per game in the playoffs this season, second only to Liu Mang's average of 31.62 points per game and Kobe's 30.3 points, and the shooting rate under the basket was as high as 65.9 percent, which was 6.6 percentage points higher than O'Neal and Yao Ming, the two players with the highest shooting percentage among the interior players.

However, Carter's ability to play such a performance is not due to him alone, but to a large part of Kidd's credit.

Carter's open-handed counter-attack speed, air-cut sharpness, and open-position three-point ability were all well used by Kidd, with Carter scoring 62 percent off the ball and only 38 percent scoring on singles and free throws.

Carter doesn't like to play without the ball, but Kidd can make Carter's off-ball play also very ornamental, which makes Carter very happy, so Carter and Kidd work well together, and in the series with the Pacers, the Nets look like they have two Carter, or two Richard Jefferson, except for singles, they are next to Kidd, and they play the same way, but Carter is more accurate and can score.

Originally, in the regular season, the Nets had little confidence in the playoffs with the Hawks, and even when they entered the playoffs with third place in the East, they did not have confidence in the second round, and they did not regain their confidence until they defeated the Pacers in a difficult tiebreaker in the second round...... In addition to Carter, Carter has always been very confident in his own strength, feeling that he still has an infinite future and can play for a few years first.

And because of this, Carter, who was already very confident in himself, became a little too confident!

When the Hawks' devil home court suppressed the confidence of many Nets players, Carter didn't think too much about it after seeing Liu Mang's challenge, just right!

In the opening game, Carter burst five times in a row, and did not dunk once.

In seven playoff games with the Pacers, Carter averaged 2.7 dunks per game, but only 0.4 dunks per game were offensive dunks with the ball, and the rest were all direct dunks on catch-and-catch......

On the Hawks' side, wave after wave of counterattacks, Rahim, who was separated by Liu Mang, was very active, counterattacking dunks, following Liu Mang's iron dunk, scoring 6 points in a row at the beginning, plus Liu Mang scored 5 points, and the Eagles started with a wave of 11-3!

Carter made no other contribution except for causing Liu Mang to commit a foul, and made one of two free throws, and only got one of the five shots, if it weren't for Richard Jefferson scoring one point with a layup, the Nets would have fallen behind by ten points in the opening three minutes.

The Nets' puppet head coach finally called a timeout when he was down by eight points.

Kidd had a big head, and he didn't care if he gave Carter face or not, and put Kartra aside to talk......

On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang saw the Nets call a timeout, and he knew about the mattress Carter wool, this game was almost like this, and the Nets must play well.

But don't be afraid of this, the 8-point lead has been laid.

Coach Kruger also judged this, and replaced Ratliff who was a little tired from blocking Carter's several breakthroughs just now, and the Hawks began to study the Nets' style of play a long time ago, and they got that after Carter lost Kenyon Martin, the offense of the interior players was basically finished, and the sharpest on the offensive end became the outside cut and three-pointer.

……

Coming back from the timeout, the Hawks sent out a super-mobile lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rashid Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

There were no substitutions on the Nets' side, with Kidd, Carter, Richard Jefferson, Aaron Williams, and Jason Collins on the court.

Carter fed the ball to Kidd, who advanced to the frontcourt, and when the two arrived in the frontcourt, they found that the Hawks' defense had changed!

Kwame Brown and Rashid Wallace, two super-mobile interior and Rahim, defended an interior defense!

Liu Mang didn't continue to follow Carter, and came to Kidd, and Prince went to guard Carter.

Compared with Liu Mang's impactful and seemingly biting defensive style, Prince's defense made Carter even more uncomfortable, Carter felt that Prince was like a robot, with no emotion or emotion, and he didn't react to his elbow, just an honest one-glance defense, and Prince's physical condition and enthusiasm completely covered Carter's running movement.

Liu Mang's side, when he saw Kidd advancing over, he pressed up, blocking Kidd at the three-point line, and constantly putting pressure on Kidd's body.

Looking at Liu Mang's expression of wanting to bite, Kidd immediately asked Aaron Williams to come out to block the dismantling, but it was Raheem who followed Aaron Williams out, not the inside line!

Liu Mang and Raheem directly sandwiched Kidd one step inside the free throw line, and it was really good to make up for Kidd, but they were stunned to find Richard Jefferson who retreated to the left three-point line outside the three-point line and passed the ball over.

While Richard Jefferson had no one in front of him, Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown were plugging the air, and Richard Jefferson stepped back to the outside of the three-point line to catch the ball.

However, letting Richard Jefferson or Aaron Williams catch the ball was originally an extreme defensive strategy after Mike Woodson and a certain pair of mentors and apprentices studied!

Richard Jefferson, who averaged 3.7 three-pointers per game in the first two rounds of the series, averaged only 0.9 shots per game, and only 24 percent of the three-point shooting rate in the playoffs is the point that Liu Mang proposed to take advantage of!

Richard Jefferson had an okay three-point shot in the regular season, shooting 36 percent from the field, but averaging only 0.6 goals per game, and the playoffs were all at once.

Looking at the opponent's other set of interior double-goal ghosts, Carter was stuck to death by Prince, Prince was like a ghost, Carter didn't like to play without the ball so much, and simply stood outside the three-point line, Aaron Williams...... Richard Jefferson felt that he might as well shoot a three-point shot himself.

Richard Jefferson pulls up a three-point shot......

Not in it!

The defensive strategy was successful, but he didn't notice that Kidd sneaked into the predicted rebound when Richard Jefferson made a shot, grabbed the ball first, and threw it to Richard Jefferson when Kwame Brown rushed forward to grab the defense.

If Richard Jefferson had made his first off-ball shot, he would have been confident next, but he didn't make it! After receiving the ball passed by Kidd, he hesitated at the first time when he received the ball, so that Liu Mang, who had planned to rush out quickly, but he didn't expect Kidd to grab the rebound and could only rush back, pounced on the diagonal side, Richard Jefferson just jumped up, startled, and threw it towards the basket, no matter who it was.

The aggressive Kwame Brown grabbed the ball in front of Kidd and immediately threw it forward.

Raheem went down, received the ball in the middle line, and fought back again to score two points!

Liu Mang was already very positive, he didn't expect this group of teammates to be more positive!

The whole Eagles were excited, defensively aggressive, and quick on offense.

Finally, Kidd didn't rely on others, and hit the first mid-range shot after the quick block.

Kidd's mid-range after blocking and dismantling is still very powerful, the defense didn't keep up with it a little, he threw it, and because of the dismal performance of his teammates, he was not afraid to hit the iron himself, and the whole team played iron, so he was not so conspicuous, which made Kidd's shooting more resolute.

The Eagles attacked, already leading by 8 points 13-5, and Liu Mang wanted to stretch the difference to more than ten points.

However, the Nets' defense is really powerful, Carter's physical fitness has been used, the Nets actively contracted and blocked, Liu Mang burst into the middle distance and was sandwiched by three people, and there was no chance to change direction, but his teammates had a chance, Liu Mang threw it to Prince, but unfortunately Prince did not score the first three points in this game.

The defense is too hard, even without the ball, Prince is giving Carter physical contact, the defensive IQ is too high, starting from the off-ball end to give Carter an uncomfortable feeling, and it looks expressionless but very positive, even if Carter is reluctant to run, she is still giving Carter physical contact.

But because of this, Prince's own shooting was also affected, and he made a three-point shot, grazing the rebound and flying out of the bottom line.

"It's okay, Tyshawn, throw it when you get a chance!" Liu Mang comforted Prince, but he didn't expect Prince to be so cold, nodded, and didn't have any expression, so he went back to defense.

This group of teammates!

One grabs the score, the other is cold, Liu Mang feels more and more that this group of teammates is too "hateful"!

Prince has become very calm now, more calm than in his rookie year, and he will not dare to shoot because he can't shoot in his rookie year, but now, he understands that as long as he dares to throw, because he has the strength to throw in an open three-point position, the other party will not dare to be unguarded.

Not all teams dare to gamble on a defense like the Eagles with Liu Mang.

The defense of the two teams began to be oppressive, after the two teams fell into the positional battle, they played very slowly in the second half of the first quarter, the Nets could not fight back, and the positional battle had no interior advantage, and the off-ball blocking and dismantling of the air cut and the wings flying together were also unreliable, and Aaron Williams' impact power, the Hawks did not come out at all, and they defended the basket, and the offensive efficiency continued to decline.

And the Hawks, on the side, were also made very uncomfortable by the Nets' strict defense, except for counterattacking, Raheem did not have a very good scoring method, Richard Jefferson was too strict with his defense, and Prince didn't shoot much in the vacant position, 3 in the first quarter 0, not to mention the two interior lines, the defense has already cost them half a life.

But they have Liu Mang!

The Nets used various defensive strategies, but found that less than three people couldn't stop Liu Mang at all!

The left and right sides broke through as they wanted, and after getting close to the basket, the left and right hands shot at will, and the two of them were not blocked, Liu Mang buckled directly through the center, Liu Mang entered the inside line and had to be sandwiched by three people, and Liu Mang passed the ball when he was clamped, and the pass was elusive, sometimes even the Eagles players did not expect it to pass to them......

In the first quarter, a total of 11 players were on the court, even Rahim, in addition to scoring 8 points in the first four minutes of the opening game, he only scored 1 point in the back, two free throws and one hit, and the offensive efficiency of the others was very low throughout the game, and the Nets played the whole first quarter to score 17 points!

And the Eagles, in the next eight minutes, Prince, Rahim, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown combined to score 6 points, but Liu Mang scored 10 points alone in the next eight minutes!

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks led by 12 points 29-17 in a single quarter!

Liu Mang's various fancy spiral moves, will always break into the basket from an unexpected direction, the Nets can only pinch the ball, and pass the ball when they hit Liu Mang, as long as the rest of the Hawks score one, the Nets will not dare to clip so fast, Liu Mang seized the opportunity that little bit to make up for the defense is not fast enough, and constantly hit the basket, and when he made up for it when he was slow to deal with the defense, Liu Mang continued to make fouls!

7 free throws in eight minutes, didn't shoot a few, scored 6 points on free throws, plus two layups, Liu Mang scored 15 points in a single quarter!

The Nets' confidence accumulated in the second round gradually began to collapse in Liu Mang's crazy offense!

Kidd tried a lot of ways to change the pace of the offense, but the Hawks just had to play defense and keep the pace of the game down, because they had Liu Mang on the offensive end, and he looked more like a superstar than Carter today!

A gap in strength is in front of him, Kidd is beginning to feel powerless, he is no longer powerful, and he is just an assistant, encountering a team like the Hawks whose outside defense is ridiculously strong, Carter's role is not as good as a quasi-first-class interior line.

Carter was good and useful against other teams, but when he met the Eagles, he was defeated!

And Carter's single-handedness ability, the Nets don't dare to use it, Carter can organize offense, but it is certainly not as good as Kidd, and Carter holds the ball, Kidd becomes an ornament, and Richard Jefferson is basically killed, just watch Carter play.

……

In the second quarter, the Eagles made a massive substitution, and the style of painting changed, Stockton, Jason Terry, Korver, Boozer, and Rashid Wallace.

Five pitchers are on the field, and that's how it is.

Kidd also tried to get the head coach to change to an offensive lineup in the second quarter, or wanted to struggle, and the Hawks just had a wave, wanting to catch the Hawks off guard, but unexpectedly, the Hawks replaced five pitchers at the same time!

Kidd looked at Rousios Harris, Rodney Rogers, Brian Scala Brien, Mikimore around him......

Let's vote together......

When playing the Pacers, Kidd was very satisfied with this lineup, and once shot the Pacers unwanted, but today he encountered the Hawks' second team to fight for offense...... Kidd is very well organized on the offensive end, but the opponent has a guy who is even better than Kidd's offensive organization!

Stockton!

In the face of Rodney Rodgers' clumsy defense, Stockton and Boozer's blocking and pick-and-roll played flying, and Kidd did not dare to defend Stockton, so he could only run with Jason Terry, Jason Terry was the only player in the Hawks other than Liu Mang to average more than 20 points per game in the first two series, and the Eagles' second scorer, with more three-pointers than Liu Mang.

The atmosphere is up, and everyone is ...... together

On the Nets side, when these five players came up at the beginning, they were very happy, because of the successful experience of the last round of the series, but they were fighting, although they did not encounter much defensive pressure on the offensive end, but the psychological pressure was getting bigger and bigger.

The Hawks' offense is more ferocious than the Nets! Dare to throw more!

Although the Hawks were not able to pull the difference apart until the official timeout, when the official timeout, the Hawks went up and down, using the lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Barnes, Raheem, and Kwame Brown to start defending to the death, and the Nets collapsed.

They're in high spirits!

The Nets wanted to learn from the Hawks to change to a strange lineup to mess up the rhythm of the Hawks, but when they met the Hawks, this imitation became an imitation, and the Nets' own rhythm was collapsed.

The Eagles, on the other hand, are too accustomed to this change in rhythm, playing more than 100 games a year, every game.

The Nets, who began to shoot waves, encountered the Hawks' replacement of a big four, a small five, a fast, highly motivated infinite change of defense, and the wave shot became a pure wave!

The Nets, who led by one point 19-18 in the first seven minutes of the game, were beaten 11-4 in the next five minutes......

With 23 points in a single quarter, the Nets looked pretty good in a single quarter, but the Hawks scored 29 points again in the second quarter.

58-40, at halftime, the Hawks already led by 18 points!

After halftime, the Eagles came up in the third quarter, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry combined with the double wave combination, which was another change in playing style.

Completely nowhere to be found!

Kidd didn't know what the Eagles' sudden change of rhythm was for, and other teams wanted to change their tactics and style of play because the previous rhythm and style of play did not go well, just like Kidd learned the Eagles' rhythm change only to learn the shape but did not learn God, he changed the rhythm because the previous rhythm could not match the opponent.

The Eagles, on the other hand, simply want to change their style of play because of the adjustment of the lineup, rather than waiting until the opponent defends the previous style of play before they start to change their style of play.

The Eagles changed their style of play to serve the players.

And whether the Nets change their style of play or make substitutions, they are all for Kidd, and Kidd is everything to this team.

At halftime, the Nets just thought of a way to defend the Hawks' offensive lineup and defensive lineup, but as soon as the third quarter came up, the Hawks' Langbi lineup came, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Barnes, Muhammad, Kwame Brown, two pitchers and three rebounds, and the defensive end can still be defended, it is Lang!

The Nets completely collapsed in the third quarter, and the confidence and pride that had been accumulated by beating the Pacers, and because Kidd was known as the king of the Eastern Conference finals, began to fall apart.

Kidd looked too smart in the last series, but against the Hawks, Kidd's cleverness didn't seem to be of much use.

Clever, compared with real power, strength is king after all!

The 70-win Eagles are the strongest!

Nets players will inevitably remember the fact that after they finally defeated the 60-win team in the second round, they ignored the fact that they were abused by the Hawks in four games of the regular season!

The biggest hint to them of winning the Pacers is that "the regular season record is useless, and the playoffs are the show of real strength", and the main role of Nets head coach Frank is to pour chicken soup, constantly hinting to them that they are a strong team in the playoffs, and no matter how strong the regular season record is, it is not their opponent.

Indeed, the rhetoric looks valid against average championship contenders like the Pistons and Pacers, neither of whom looks like a match for the Nets right now.

But when they met the Hawks, the confidence brought by the chicken soup was crushed, but it hit the morale of the Nets players more than the original loss!

Kidd looked at Liu Mang, who was wantonly showing his offensive talent, what he started worrying about two years ago has really become a reality!
