9-4, Spurs call a timeout!

In two minutes, he made three three-pointers!

Maddie opened up the game for the Eagles first.

But Punch-Wells's point is still a headache, use Kwame Brown to defend it, flexibility can't keep up, use Rashid Wallace defense, speed can't keep up, and there is no way to go around the front, people were originally playing point guards, around the front people directly pulled out to catch the ball and break through, defense Bunch Wells can only defend the basket, around the front left the basket, was pulled out more difficult to prevent, can only use Punch Wells impact and shooting can not do two points to defend.

Coach Kruger took advantage of the Spurs' timeout to replace Rasheed Wallace with Josh Smith, changing the lineup and laying out a defensive strategy.

There was no change to the tactics overall, except for the early replacement of Rasheed Wallace.

The Spurs' personnel adjustment at the beginning of the game really didn't expect the Hawks, although Maddy scored three three-pointers, but it was a non-tactical play, and the opponent called a timeout must have a defensive change to Maddy, and Coach Kruger had to adjust the defense of the opponent's offensive strength at this time.

……

After the timeout, Liu Mang brought Maddy, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown on the court.

There were no substitutions on the Spurs' side, with Parker, Ginobili, Horry, Bunch Wells, and Duncan continuing to play.

Spurs attack.

After Parker advanced to the frontcourt, Bunch Wells continued to look for low post opportunities.

The Spurs thought that the Hawks replaced Josh Smith in order to use speed and mobility to go around the front defense, and they were ready to use Duncan to block Kwame Brown and hang Bunch Wells, but they didn't expect Josh Smith to use a normal defensive style.

In that case, Bunch Wells chose to continue in the low post, and the rest of the Spurs continued to help Bunch Wells open up space.

Parker moved to a 45-degree angle to the left and hoisted the ball to Bunch Wells.

Just when Bunch Wells received the ball and was about to make a move, Liu Mang went up to Bunch Wells, preferring to let go of Parker's mid-range shot.

Bunch-Wells immediately distributed it to Parker, who received the ball without hesitation and took the shot, but it was too late for Prince to pounce.

Even if the outside shot is not good, Parker must make a decisive shot at this time, otherwise the opponent will unscrupulously pinch Punch Wells.

Iron Tree will also blossom, averaging 2 three-point shots per game in the playoffs this season, hitting 0.2 per game, and Parker, who has only made three three-pointers in the playoffs this season, scored on his first three-point shot!

7-9, Parker's three-point shot narrowed the gap to two points!

There is no way for Liu Mang and Prince to defend this thing, when the opponent has an extremely advantageous single point, they can only choose to pinch and let go of the opponent's weakest link, and Parker is obviously the weakness of the Spurs' outside shooting, and he actually threw it, so there is no way.

Offense and defense switched, and the Eagles attacked.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Maddie, and then took Ginobili to the inside air, Prince ran to the bottom right corner with Parker, and Josh Smith blocked Liu Mang from the left mid-range.

Maddie received the ball outside the 45-degree angle three-point line on the right side, which is on the strong side, and dipped a shot, Horry had already been shot into a startled bird, and immediately jumped up, Maddie didn't need much effort, strode into the three-point line, and rushed to the inside.

At this time, Liu Mang borrowed Josh Smith's block and forced Ginobili and Bunch-Wells to switch defenses, after Ginobili was blocked by Josh Smith, he immediately made up for the breakthrough Maddie, Liu Mang took Bunch Wells, Maddie sent the ball to Josh Smith for the first time, Bunch-Wells was really positive in the contract year, and immediately turned his head to Josh Smith and pounced, Josh-Smith took a step towards the basket, attracted the defense of Bunch Wells and Duncan, and passed to the left three-point line, Liu Mang has already run to the position that he is best at at a 45-degree angle!

Liu Mang received the ball and made a three-point shot......

"Ding...... Marksman level 5 triggers ......"

Liu Mang was in a perfect shooting opportunity, but unfortunately missed.

Liu Mang felt that it was a pity, Maddy's offensive threat sent a pass, using Josh Smith's physical fitness to completely contain the opponent's defense under the basket, but he didn't make the final finish.

Duncan guarded the defensive rebound steadily, the Hawks quickly retreated, and when he retreated, Maddie waved his hand at Liu Mang to signal that he didn't care, although the ball didn't score, it was just that Liu Mang's hand was not good, and the overall tactics were still completely played.

There was a player on both sides who played an absolute threat, with Maddie on one side and Bunch Wells on the other, and Maddy's face-frame breakthrough pass and Bunch Wells, a low-post passer who is averaging 3.4 assists per game this season, led his teammates to the opening game.

The Spurs' defense is very set, Horry specializes in blocking Maddie for three points, others quickly rotate and pinch the inside, role players basically have no scoring opportunities, after Maddie begins to break through, the Spurs' rotation defense is doing a good job, Liu Mang can't get a shooting opportunity as easily as at the beginning, there are always defenders in front of him, the Spurs are a big and four small lineup, the outside four can rotate defenses indiscriminately, and the defense is quite good.

The point is that the Spurs game is characterized by big confrontations and many small moves, and the Hawks don't have a very good way to score.

The Spurs also didn't have a good scoring opportunity, after Bunch Wells scored 4 points, he was caught by Liu Mang, and the Hawks' defensive rotation also started, Prince and Maddy switched defenses when they were close to Parker, and Liu Mang waited for Punch Wells to pass the ball and then went to make up for Maddy or Prince's exposed.

The two teams played fiercely in the first two minutes, and the next three minutes were in the same game, the two teams played to the fourth minute and 10 seconds, and the score only increased from 7-9 to 10-12, the Hawks used Maddy's three three-pointers at the beginning, and Liu Mang rushed to the basket after receiving the ball to hit a layup, and Kwame Brown threw a Duncan defensive three-second free throw, scored 12 points, and maintained a slight lead.

The game was scorching from the start.

When it came to the Hawks' offense again, Liu Mang broke through to no avail and passed to Maddie, who used his height to shoot a mid-range jumper in the high post against Ginobili, who was switching defenses......

The opening game seemed to run out of touch, and Maddie missed two mid-range shots in a row.

Kwame Brown grabbed the space under the basket that Duncan exposed when he went to make up for Liu Mang this time, and stuck Duncan behind him, and when the ball fell, Kwame Brown saw that he was about to grab the offensive rebound and could dunk directly inside, but an arm stretched out from the back of his head!

Duncan's huge long arms and a pair of big hands jumped up and stretched out his fingertips to pluck the ball, and then used his physical fitness to jump up again and pick the ball from Kwame Brown's head!

Duncan's static physicality is too good! is also two meters and one one, and Duncan's arm span of two meters and three is even more exaggerated than Kwame Brown's arm span of two meters and twenty-eight!

Liu Mang felt that he was really speechless when he saw this scene, so he immediately retreated, thinking about a player so tall in his national team with an arm span of two meters and two ......

The Spurs opted for a fast push this time!

Duncan grabbed the ball and immediately turned around and dribbled, the basic skills were quite solid, Kwame Brown reached out and pulled it when he returned to the defense, Duncan dodged the ball behind his back, and passed to Horry on the halfway line.

Horry received the ball and continued to attack, rushing to the three-point line, and Maddie blocked it.

At this time, Duncan cut in from the middle, this guy is too threatening, Kwame Brown is sticking to the side, Josh Smith and Liu Mang are guarding under the basket.

At the same time, Parker blocked Ginobili from outside the three-point line on the other side, and Horry quickly distributed the ball to Ginobili, who stepped on the three-point line and made a jumper......

Hit!

12 draws!

Ginobili kept telling the referee that he was a three-point shot, but the referee's eyes were very sharp, and he decisively made a two-point shooting gesture, and the fans in front of the TV saw the slow-motion replay, Ginobili did step on the three-point line when he jumped.

The Eagles are lucky, otherwise they will be overtaken by the other side!

The Spurs suddenly picked up the pace of their offense and brought the tempo up, and although they scored, Coach Popovich on the sidelines was roaring.

Because just after Ginobili threw the ball in, Liu Mang picked up the ball that fell and immediately sent it to Josh Smith, and then ran towards the front court, Josh Smith passed the ball back to Liu Mang for the first time, Liu Mang quickly rushed across the halfline with the ball, and the Spurs failed to use their position to block the Hawks' counterattack because of their fast pace and messy positioning!

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, the Spurs retreated quickly, but it was messy, when Liu Mang rushed into the three-point line, a group of people blocked up disorderly, Liu Mang distributed the ball to the middle, Maddy burst into the free throw line and took a step, the two attracted 4 people to the defense, Maddy hoisted the ball to the basket, and Kwame Brown, who rushed in, scored two points with an empty dunk.

At 14-12, the Hawks continued to hold a slight lead.

The rhythm is brought up unconsciously!

From extremely slow positional battles to quick transitions, it was useless for Popovich to yell on the sidelines, and the players were already excited.

The Spurs attacked, and after Kwame Brown dunked and scored, Ginobili quickly sent the ball out and Parker pushed quickly.

In the frontcourt, Parker broke through to the inside, attracted the defense and passed to Duncan, who jumped and dunked to score two points.

Both teams were chaotic because of the quick transition between offense and defense.

Disrupting this kind of thing, the Eagles like it the most!

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he used Maddie to block Ginobili and make a mid-range jumper that was blocked and dismantled......

This time, Liu Mang didn't think about rebounding and passing at all, and the shooting was quite focused, just to throw!

"Ding...... Trigger at level 5 of the Demolition Master, and the host has +8 speed and +5 strength for 2 seconds. ”

Liu Mang's jump height is very high, Duncan pounced on it is useless, Liu Mang shot decisively in the middle distance, hit the rebound and bounced into the basket!

16 to 14, the speed at which both teams scored suddenly accelerated!

After playing half a quarter of the game, Liu Mang found that playing with the Spurs, if he didn't focus all his attention on shooting, he had no chance to make himself a real threat to attract the bag, but he focused on shooting, and he didn't have much energy to think about the ball, and Maddie was the same, it was too difficult to play the Spurs and hope to win by passing!

It's an awkward feeling, it's a complete paradox, and the Spurs' defense is all about giving the players who organize the offense an uncomfortable feeling.

Liu Mang understood why the Suns played the Spurs, Nash and Stoudemire averaged almost 65 points per game, but the two scored more points per game and assisted less than one game.

Now it is found that it is not that the Suns' passes are prevented, but that Nash and Stoudemire do not take shooting as their first choice and can't even score! The Spurs' defense is too strong!

The Hawks played more than five minutes in the opening game and scored 16 points, except for a dunk and a free throw from Kwame Brown, the remaining 13 points were all goals scored by Liu Mang and Madison.

It's too hard to play together, and the Spurs look like they're expecting two people to pass the ball and make it easier to kill others.

Liu Mang thought of the 01 Western Finals, the Lakers averaged 100 points per game, Kobe Bryant averaged 33 points per game, O'Neal averaged 27 points per game, Fisher averaged 18 points per game, and all three averaged 78 points per game, that is, ...... There are no tactics at all! It's the star pick!

Playing an opponent like Spurs, relying on tactical cooperation will not work!
