259. The Great Reversal, the New Power of the NBA!
After the Hawks experienced All-Star Weekend, there was a huge change in mentality, at first they were beaten by Odom, but now that they have calmed down, that mentality improvement has returned.
We've got three All-Stars in our house!
With the exception of the Mavericks, no team has more All-Stars this year than the Hawks!
Having been selected as an All-Star and having All-Star strength, these are two different concepts in terms of mentality!
Being an All-Star is not the same as not being an All-Star, a quasi-All-Star, but not being selected, after all, just a quasi-All-Star.
Liu Mang made a steal and dunk, Jason Terry received the ball and directly chased down the three-pointer, followed by Raheem's dunk in a positional battle, three balls, and the Hawks' morale was completely up.
The Clippers have Brand, Margety and Big Q haven't grown up yet, Big Q is stared at by Jason Terry and there is no vacancy, Magetti is far from his peak, and it is enough to choke Raheem alone, the Clippers' tactic is that Brand is chiseled on the inside, and it is impossible to score every goal, and Muhammad's desperate defense can play some role after all.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Hawks relied on non-stop counterattacks to finally chase the score to 77-92! More than 7 minutes to beat the Clippers to a 22-12!
Gentry had no choice but to bring Odom on again.
Why not make a decisive switch to Odom?
As a coach of a team, how can you not know the players of your team, Olovocandi, who started well, so no matter how pitted, he would also be sent to start and pick up those few shots, and Odom is the same, Gentry knows that he can contribute thirteen or fourteen points per game in the current lineup, five or six rebounds, five or six assists, and occasionally break out, and he also knows that this guy can be super god or super ghost......
From the performance in the third quarter, Coach Gentry can see that Odom's supernatural state has probably passed, and I don't know how long the next CD will take.
Seeing the Clippers replace Odom, the Hawks cheered up, including Liu Mang, who knows if this guy will suddenly go berserk again.
The Clippers ended their long timeout and switched to the strongest lineup, Big Q, Margeti, Odom, Brand, and Olovo Kandi.
The Eagles knew that in the last 4 minutes, the decisive moment was up, and the opponent also changed to the top three, and the Eagles sent the strongest lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.
Clippers backcourt ball, Odom serves outside bounds......
After the referee's whistle, Odom dribbled the ball into the line......
Forehead......
The referee didn't react, Odom dribbled to the free throw line, the referee blew the whistle, and the Clippers violated the serve!
The rest of the Clippers, the Hawks players, the fans in the stadium, including the referees were dumbfounded.
What an operation!
Liu Mang looked at Odom, who was embarrassed and giggling, and then recalled the performance of the omnipotent superstar in the first half 11+11+8+5+2, and was really convinced!
This guy is really legendary: he can catch the moon for nine days, and he can be a turtle in the river!
The super god is scary, and the pit is even more scary!
However, how could the Eagles not seize such an opportunity!
The Eagles got a frontcourt ball straight into the hands of Rahim, who hit a mid-range single Odom who turned to the baseline and hit a close-range jumper.
There are only three points left in the difference!
The Clippers are in a hurry, Margeti is easy to get into the brain when he is in a hurry, which is also the key reason why he will become a first-class star of 22+6+3 in the future and still be sold, and he will not be able to play after the decline in physical fitness over 30.
Muhammad grabbed the ball and handed it to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang advanced to the front court and motioned for his teammates to pull away......
It's Odom who comes up on guard!
Odom seemed to have forgotten about being deceived by Liu Mang in the first quarter, and stood inside the three-point line and smiled at Liu Mang.
Odom didn't have a rut either, Big Q...... was afraid of being abused by Liu Mang, and the boss wanted to help him get back to the field, but one of the protagonists didn't say anything in the interview he coaxed, for fear of being hated by Liu Mang, Margeti ...... The defense has been very poor, unexpectedly unexpected, it's okay to resist when you encounter a similar speed, and you can also defend the low position, but when you encounter a fast speed, you can only stand and watch, and it's useless to scold.
Then Odom came to defend, Odom was beaten by Rahim just now, Coach Gentry roared on the sidelines and asked Margeti to defend Raheem from the low post, and Odom came to defend against Liu Mang.
Laughing unexpectedly silly, but the defensive skills are unexpectedly good, Liu Mang reached the three-point line Odom immediately posted it, worthy of being an absolute genius with strong talent to explode, Odom knew that his speed was not as good as Liu Mang, so he was very close, and his body that was more than a circle bigger than Liu Mang covered Liu Mang's whole body! It is difficult for Liu Mang to accelerate.
The defensive skills and movement prediction are very good, and it is a bit difficult to meet Odom against the ball carrier who is not good.
Liu Mang took a step back, saw Jason Terry running out, and immediately threw the ball over.
Jason Terry received the ball at a 45-degree angle and faced the big Q who chased him, and the big Q chased hard, but Jason Terry already had enough space to shoot and shoot directly from three-point ......
Hit!
Jason Terry scored 11th points in a single quarter!
Equaled!
92 draws!
Another assist!
18 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists!
Liu Mang went up and high-fived Jason Terry to celebrate.
The next thing is to stabilize and then overtake!
Finally tied up, and the Eagles will never allow to be chased back again!
However, when the Hawks saw the expressions of the Clippers players running over, looking at the expressions of despair on the Clippers' side, the Hawks finally felt that they were a new force in the NBA!
Liu Mang saw the expressions on the faces of the Clippers players and thought of the beginning of the season.
At the beginning of the season, the Eagles were three small and tender, slack, and arrogant, and the Eagles saw the strong team during that period, and it was this kind of expression, just like they saw the Magic team for the first time this season, and the other party's superstars were rising, and they had lost the desire to fight back and could only struggle.
Odom pushed over and held the ball in the arc, and Odom, who was in an ordinary state, was once an unnamed player who didn't complain after the failure to win the championship in '08, who stayed in the arena after his teammates were gone, and shot and cried, one of the most reliable teammates, and his organizational skills were excellent.
Really outstanding.
But the person who can't stand the empty cut in is not wearing No. 24 or No. 16, even No. 17......
Margeti cut into the basket on a reverse run, and Odom saw the stitch and sent it in with precision, and the ball was quite a triangle offensive arc strategy...... However, Margeti made a turn and spared behind Brand, and the ball went directly to Raheem, who followed him.
Raheem was surprised and delighted, surprised that if Margeti received the ball in this position, the physical fitness jumped up and dunked, this critical moment was terrible, and the joy was that the ball was passed like this, and a big forward and a small forward on the opponent's interior actually didn't notice the dismantling without the ball......
It can only be said that sometimes a person's passing awareness is too good, and his teammates are still useless.
Odom is characterized by a suicide attack when the cow pen is in full distraction...... His teammates, the normal state is to know a little bit of everything, and the strategy should be outstanding.
Indeed, the Clippers' style of play after having Brand is really not suitable for him, unless he breaks through to his teammates to create direct openings like he did in the first half, otherwise he can pass by relying on strategy alone, and teammates may not be able to receive it like Koga and others.
Throughout Odom's entire career, it seems like this has always been the case.
Raheem grabbed the ball and was stunned for a moment and counterattacked!
Raheem was still a little slower to advance the dribble, and after rushing to the front court, a group of opposing people came over.
Raheem was completely in the spotlight after All-Star Weekend and was seen as the best player in the East and the most defensive pressure the Hawks had ever encountered, unlike the three Hawks who had almost evenly split the defensive pressure on each other.
In this way, Raheem's passing ability has a good space to show, and Liu Mang and Jason Terry have better room to play!
Raheem gave it to Jason Terry who ran to the bottom corner, Jason Terry brought the rest of the defense over, and immediately passed back to the top arc, and Liu Mang received the ball for three points and hit it again!
Liu Mang also scored a double in a single quarter!
21 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists!
It's just a three-point lead, but in a practical sense, it's like choking the Clippers' neck, and the Clippers are collapsing!
The opponent was reversed by 15 points in the final quarter, and he was still 3 points behind!
95-92, Liu Mang's three-point shot killed the Clippers' hope of taking the lead again!
Odom is really helpless with this ball, such a beautiful pass, if only someone could catch it, for example...... Mcgrady? Not bad, not bad, Pierce...... Not bad either...... It's so embarrassing, who should I partner with when the contract expires...... Seeing that his teammates didn't want to struggle anymore, Odom began to enter his own world......
……
The Eagles' big comeback!
101-95, the Hawks reversed the Clippers to win their first win after the All-Star weekend!
After trailing by 18 points at halftime, the final quarter reversed by 15 points!
It's not a Jedi reversal, the Clippers and the Hawks are not teams of the same level, one is second only to the top five in the West, and even the top five are not necessarily all opponents of the Hawks, and the other is tenth in the West, and it is normal for the Hawks to win them.
It's just that the process was a little bumpy, and I was taken aback by the twenty-minute magician, and then I was crushed by the strength of the smooth sailing.
The main thing is to be able to hold it down!
Liu Mang had 21 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Jason Terry had 27 points and 3 assists, and Raheem was miserable in 7 of 21, but when he was strictly defended by the opponent, he shared a lot of offensive pressure, and 18 points, 9 boards and 7 assists were not bad.
And there was no collapse when the score was behind, which is the biggest improvement after the three All-Star players of the Hawks officially won the All-Star honor!
