In the game between the Hawks and the Mavericks, no matter who wins or loses, both teams either play well on offense or average on offense.

The Hawks' high-speed rotation defense is based on the defensive system of the Mavericks and Bulls, two teams with relatively average player strength, and this kind of defense is really powerful, Nowitzki is limited, and under the defense of Rashid Wallace and Maddy, Nowitzki's three-point and mid-range shots are not good.

On the Hawks' side, except for Liu Mang, who insisted on playing one-on-one, everyone else, including Maddie, did not play well.

The Mavericks' style of play and the Bulls' style of play are not only similar in defense, but also similar on the offensive end, with an average lineup, looking at the Bulls' lineup, it can basically be seen as a Maverick with one less Nowitzki, all of them are a group of quasi-first-class stars plus a defensive center, if the Mavericks don't have Nowitzki, it is estimated that they are half a pound or two with the Bulls, but because they have Nowitzki, an absolute strength, the strength is obviously several grades stronger than the Bulls.

However, in today's game, Nowitzki was limited again, Nowitzki was the most stable point of the Mavericks, and correspondingly, Maddy was also limited on the Hawks' side.

But the Hawks have Liu Mang on their side, in the case of the Mavericks' limited pass assist and good defense, after Liu Mang passed twice, he didn't pass, he singled, 3 of 5 shots in the opening game, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 of 4 shots, one of which was 2+1, and scored 8 points, plus Kwame Brown hit a rebound, and the Hawks scored 10 points in the first 4 minutes.

With Maddie pinning the defense, Liu Mang started well, as long as he didn't go deep into the basket, he would have a chance to shoot in the middle distance, and he felt good today, so he didn't want to shoot the Mavericks.

On the Mavericks' side, apart from Nowitzki's 3-point score, only Josh Howard's low-post turnaround throw scored two points.

The Hawks started the game with a wave of 10-5!

Mavericks head coach General Johnson called a timeout!

……

Coming back from the timeout, the Hawks replaced Rasheed Wallace, Nowitzki played too far outside, and Coach Kruger replaced Josh Smith and let Rasheed Wallace rest first.

On the Mavericks' side, Harris was replaced with Jamal Crawford, who didn't shoot and suffered a lot when the Mavericks were dealing with the Hawks' high-speed rotation defense, and replaced him with Crawford, the favorite for the Sixth Minute.

Mavericks offense.

Liu Mang saw Crawford pushing over and immediately defended it.

For Crawford's dribbling, Liu Mang can only be described as a show!

Judging from Crawford's size and appearance, it has nothing to do with being handsome and handsome, but his dribbling is too sassy! Completely make up for the strange look of this, all kinds of coquettishness.

Liu Mang's "glove" trait is effective for most outside shots, but it is useless for Crawford, who is looking for opportunities on his own dribbles.

Liu Mang was very serious about defending Crawford, and he could see that this guy didn't seem to have the idea of passing.

Suddenly, Crawford slapped the ball to the right, put the ball away, and threw the three-pointer directly on the right side of the top arc!

Liu Mang hurriedly pounced and successfully interfered with Crawford's shot.

But! It's useless to interfere!

Crawford's three-point shot hits the hollow!

As one of the league's best nerve knives, Crawford is so elusive that he comes up and does it!

8 to 10!

Crawford made his due contribution as soon as he came up, and in the face of the situation that he could not break the opponent's defense, he suddenly pierced the opponent's defense.

Looking back, the Hawks were in a predicament, and during the timeout, the Mavericks made defensive adjustments to Liu Mang and Maddy, blocking these two players and guarding the basket, vacating Prince, who missed the three-point shot!

Immediately, Crawford's side took advantage of Nowitzki's block to step into the three-point line and hit a long two-point shot!

Come up and even look at 5 points to tie the score!

Junior General Johnson made a very correct choice and replaced Crawford early, so that the Mavericks did not get into a predicament for a long time.

Crawford opened up this point, and everyone else was relatively free, and after the Mavericks were replaced on the outside line, Crawford, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, and Nowitzki could all shoot three-pointers, and after Crawford's point needed to be targeted, others had a chance.

In the original time and space, Prince, as one of the top three outside single defense masters in the league, could not get a high salary at his peak, for a reason, his scoring ability was too poor, only slightly better than the future Tony Allen offense, with a 33 percent three-point shooting rate, but this season with so many open positions, Prince only averaged 0.8 three-pointers per game, and did not dare to shoot more, averaging only 2.4 three-pointers per game.

In today's game, Prince did a good job defensively, and the outside fast rotation defense built with Liu Mang, Maddy, and Josh Smith did a good job, but in terms of open three-pointers, he didn't grasp it as well as Josh Howard, who shot 2 of 3 from an open three-point position in the middle of the first quarter, and Prince couldn't stand up and fight against Josh Howard when the Hawks blocked Nowitzki and Crawford, and the Mavericks blocked Liu Mang and Maddy.

In the seventh minute of the first quarter, the Hawks called a timeout.

Liu Mang walked off the court, and after scoring 8 points in the opening game, he didn't score a point in the next three minutes, only one throw, not many shots, and only 1 assist, passing to Josh Smith for a counterattack dunk.

In three minutes, the Hawks only relied on Josh Smith's dunk and another basket from Kwame Brown to score 4 points, 14 points in 7 minutes is good, but after scoring 10 points in the first 4 minutes, only 14 points in 7 minutes will be miserable.

On the Mavericks' side, Liu Mang felt worthy of being one of the best offensive teams in the West, scoring 13 points in three minutes! After Crawford scored five straight points in one minute, Josh Howard hit two three-pointers, and Nowitzki made two free throws for a foul, and they scored 18 points in seven minutes!

A key adjustment that makes the Mavericks offense fully alive! And the more you fight, the better!

……

Liu Mang returned to the bench, and Coach Kruger called him over.

"Ace, fortify the defense or strengthen the offense?" Coach Kruger asked, the current situation, Coach Kruger feels that strengthening the defense is not very effective!

The key to using this strategy is to have players who can't shoot, even one is enough, such as Harris, or Wade of the Heat, they don't have three-pointers, so high-speed rotation defense is very effective for them.

But now the Mavericks can shoot four players on the outside, and the center under the basket can't be ignored, and the height of two meters and three is there.

Coach Kruger is good at tactics, not decision-making, and threw the pot to Liu Mang.

"Let Jason play early, he can play on our offense, the Mavericks feel good today, we may not be able to defend it." Liu Mang and Coach Kruger think the same thing.

Ideologically aligned!

Coach Kruger called the players together and rearranged the tactics.

……

Coming back from the timeout, the Hawks sent a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Maddy, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning.

Coach Kruger replaced Prince with Jason Terry, Liu Mang and Maddy continued to stay on the court, Rasheed Wallace replaced Josh Smith, Josh Smith was too crowded in the blue space on the court, he didn't shoot, replaced Kwame Brown with Mourning, Kwame Brown was going to be used against Dampier, Coach Kruger felt that Dampier now estimated that it was time to rest, let Kwame Brown also rest.

For more than half of the first quarter of the Hawks, it was Kwame Brown who grabbed two offensive rebounds and made a basket, otherwise Liu Mang was the only one left to create a scoring opportunity.

On the Mavericks' side, as expected, Dampier was substituted, and Crawford, Marquis Daniels, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Desaquena-Diop joined forces.

The Eagles attack.

Before going on the court, Liu Mang pulled Jason Terry aside and said a few words, and Jason Terry's eyes lit up.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the front court, where he met a strange-looking player.

The world-famous Dallas Double Ugly is online!

The double ugly is really good, Josh Howard's defensive evaluation of 83, Daniels's defensive evaluation of 84, and both are extremely physical defenders.

Josh Howard was sent by the Hawks for the needs of the team.

But Daniels, who was favored by the old Nelson, was very surprised, and his performance exceeded expectations since the rookie year, and he got a 6-year 38 million fat contract after the rookie year.

Josh Howard and Daniels are both the kind of players with great stature and reach, who move quickly and fight hard...... In addition to the ball quotient, both of them are more worried, and the offensive and defensive lines of the double ugly partner are very strong.

As soon as Liu Mang arrived outside the three-point line, Daniels immediately gave strong defensive pressure.

Jason Terry was very excited when he came up and asked Liu Mang for the ball.

Liu Mang didn't stick to the ball, and immediately gave the ball to Jason Terry, and then ran to the left 45-degree angle, and worked with Maddie, who was close to the sideline at the 45-degree angle on the right, to open up space for Jason Terry.

Jason Terry couldn't hold back when he saw Crawford's coquettish performance!

Crawford saw Jason Terry, the best sixth man in contention, and was serious defensively, trying to keep Jason Terry at bay.

Jason Terry was cautious but not nervous about Crawford, he didn't take Crawford seriously, and he was only so excited because Crawford tactically came from the bench to help the Mavericks turn the tide and steal the limelight as the sixth man.

Crawford had been staring at Jason Terry's dribbling movements, and suddenly, Jason Terry said to him, "Boy, you know what? ”
