In the second quarter of the game, the Suns, who were leading by a large score, were more imposing, and repeatedly used the Hawks' shooting to play a wonderful fast break, which made the Hawks, who were not very good at fast-paced games, a little numb.

At halftime, the Suns extended their lead to 55-40.

In the second half of the game, Josh Smith, who was troubled by fouls in the first half, still did not achieve much on the defensive end, and was cautious, which made rookie Morris take what he wanted from him, which made Smith's face a little unbearable. Although Smith is known for his blocks, his physical confrontation is not flattering.

However, Josh Smith found the crosshairs on the offensive end, hitting a mid-range and an outside 3-pointer to save face for himself while also stopping the further increase in the score of the two teams.

Although Smith has regained his touch, he is still difficult to support on the offensive end, and Pachuria, the scumbag of the inside, is not a smart inside finisher, and Teague on the outside is very limited by Chen Shu, and has only scored 3 goals so far. And Chen Shu finally found the superiority of physical talent in Teague, who used to use his body to put pressure on him, and now he finally realized the court dividends brought by his strong body. This also made him more determined to give priority to improving his physical fitness in the future.

And Joe Johnson, another strong point on the outside, known as the contemporary Jordan, I don't know if it was a continuation of the cold feel of the previous games, or Dudley's sticking defense had an effect, until the end of the third quarter of the game, he still couldn't find his rhythm, crazy iron, only 4 of 14 shots in the first three quarters, and scored 12 points on 4 of 6 free throws.

The head coach of the Eagles finally couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Joe Johnson, who was not in good shape, of course, not all because of his poor hand, but also because Joe Johnson had poor passing vision, and it was not a waste of time to play Joe alone. Once you fall into the enemy's encirclement, it is difficult to pass the ball out, the shot cannot be shot, and the pass cannot be penetrated, which makes the head coach completely lose patience.

Seeing that the score came to 78:62, the head coach of the Hawks felt that the team could still save it, so he replaced Maddie, who was eager to try on the sidelines.

In fact, Maddie's strength is still there, but the team does not give corresponding trust, only a few minutes of playing time per game, and it is really not hot yet, and he is about to go off, but despite this, Maddie's shooting rate this season has reached 46%, which is not low efficiency for an outside player.

When Maddy came on the court, the Suns entered the regular rotation, and Chen Shu was already out of the game. Chen Shu was also very happy to see Maddie appear, he had never seen Maddie play so closely.

As soon as Maddie came on the court, he received a pass from Hinrich, who also came off the bench, and directly pulled out a jumper in the face of Reed's defense.

Maddie's jump shot can be described as elegant, elegant, just like his person, calm, unhurried, elegant and natural. Watching Maddie's jumper is a pleasure, a heartfelt appreciation for his jumper skills.

Although Chen Shu watched it off the court, Maddie, who had just come on the court, was obviously still a little cold, and the basketball popped out of the frame, but apparently Maddie was not much frustrated, Maddie, who has been working hard in the league for more than 10 years, is used to seeing strong winds and waves, although he is now just a role player who has signed a veteran's base salary.

The Suns attacked, Reed was not polite, a cross step, broke through Maddy, and rushed straight to the basket, while the latter was not completely out of position, and followed step by step, interfering with Reed's basket throwing with all his might.

"Bang." In the end, the two men finished the round by striking each other's irons. The two are actually very similar, they used to be All-Star level offensive players, but now the years are unforgiving.

But Maddie is Maddie, although she looks sleepy-eyed and harmless to humans and animals, but as soon as the outside opportunity comes out, Maddie, who is holding a basketball, seems to have changed into a different person. With the help of the pick-and-roll, he got the shooting space on the outside, and outside the 3-point line, it was another dry pull. Even though he is only a base salary player now, as long as he plays, he is the focus of attention!

I saw Maddie kicking the ground from the ball of his foot, to the knee force, to the sudden arm shooting action in one go, this shot, Maddie showed all the characteristics of his dry pull jump shot stunt to the fullest, high shot point, long time in the air, large backward amplitude, high drift for a long time!

Chen Shu on the field knows that this is a rare learning opportunity, such a close observation of the player's demonstration, and it is the skill he is most familiar with, although it is not as intuitive as in the training space, but Chen Shu still learned from the valuable experience of Maddie's poor career!

"Huh!" The Nets burst into white waves, and the crisp sound came in and out of the ears, but it was quickly drowned out by the loud cheers of the fans in the stadium.

After Maddie's wonderful 3-point shot, the two benches played back and forth, and the rotation time passed quickly, but Maddie didn't have many chances to touch the ball during this time, and the opening 2 consecutive singles obviously aroused some dissatisfaction from the other benches, after all, Maddie is just the same role player as them, and even slightly inferior.

In this way, Maddie has not been able to get the ball, and after 4 minutes of the game, Maddy finally picked up the offensive rebound when the Hawks missed the shot again, and after Maddy got the basketball, the Suns' defenders reacted quickly and pasted it directly. At this time, Maddie didn't look for help from teammates or play the ball to teammates like a role player! Instead, he put on a 3-threat pose, a tentative step, and when the defender dodged a small step, Maddie still did the same move, but although Reed had already thought that Maddie had a good chance of jumping, he still didn't react.

"Dry pull" means to suddenly force an upward jump to shoot. When the term was first used, there was a certain negation of the choice of the timing of the shot.

But for this trick, Maddie, who has been immersed in it for many years, is obviously better than anyone else to grasp the timing of the pull. Chen Shu's eyes on the field resisted every movement of Maddie, as if he wanted to engrave all this in his mind, the skill of pulling out the jump shot has always been Chen Shu's offensive weapon, but he is not satisfied that this is just a skill, he wants to thoroughly interpret all the characteristics of this action, and completely turn this skill into his own thing, and become the nutrient for his own attribute improvement!

But Chen Shu knows that it is not enough to watch Maddie's every move from the sidelines, it is best to be able to feel it face-to-face!

"Whew! Swish! Swish! "2 points again!

Maddie scored five points with three shots, and the score was 86-75, and the margin was forced to 11 points by the Hawks' bench. Soon the Suns called a timeout and replaced all the main forces, interrupting the Hawks' scoring momentum by the way!

Just when Chen Shu thought that he was going to pass by Maddie again, the head coach of the Eagles did not replace Maddy, nor did he replace Hinrich, but only brought Pachulia and Smith up, obviously, he saw that the backcourt combination of Maddie and Hinrich worked well today, and he planned to give them more chances! However, he has little hope for this game, the overall state of the team is too poor, and the position of the coach is unstable if it continues like this. Thinking of this, he simply stopped managing the situation on the field, glanced at all the players, and began to think about how to change the current situation of the team.
