was thrown into a three-point game at the beginning, Liu Mang clapped his hands, signaling his teammates not to rush, take their time, and defend themselves next time.

The Hawks attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the top of the arc to hold the ball, commanded Rahim to the left side of the three-second zone and Muhammad covered the run, and then Muhammad bypassed the baseline and brought Kenyon Martin to the right side of the basket outside the three-second zone, Ratliff mentioned the free throw line, Liu Mang handed the ball to Ratliff, Liu Mang himself cut into the inside, Rahim blocked Kidd for Liu Mang, but Kidd reacted very quickly, bypassing Rahim to keep up with Liu Mang, Liu Mang ran to the bottom corner of the right side, and brought Kenyon Martin's attention to the bottom corner of the corner, Muhammad was ready to give Liu Mang an off-ball block at any time, and Liu Mang used his series scoring title to open up the inside space.

Prince pulled open from a 45-degree angle on the left side, Raheem took advantage of the situation and pressed Richard Jefferson under the basket, and Ratliff hoisted the ball to Raheem, who sat under the basket and leaned against Richard Jefferson!

Raheem forced Richard Jefferson, Jason Collins quickly contracted from the free throw line to wrap Rahim, at this time Kidd yelled "don't move" to tell Jason Collins not to shrink, but it was too late, Raheem passed back to the middle, Ratliff rushed into the basket to receive the ball, and relied on his weight to knock Jason Collins away and slammed the ball into the basket!

Kidd glared at Jason Collins in annoyance, why are his centers at this level?

Consciously, the ability can't keep up.

A center forward with barely enough ability, and his consciousness is so poor.

From the Hawks' running position to the final position just now, Kidd immediately saw that the Hawks were playing the same triangle offense that the East Army used to use during the All-Star Weekend!

It's just a little bit of modification, but the three offensive points of Rahim, Ratliff, and Liu Mang are very clear, but Kidd didn't react at first, and he didn't see the clues until he stood still.

Richard Jefferson has already put pressure on Rahim, and even if Raheem scores, it will only be a layup.

And Jason Collins went to wrap Raheem, Ratliff rushed in and dunked directly, Kenyon Martin was still ready to deal with Liu Mang and Muhammad's off-ball blocking and dismantling at any time with Kidd, and he had no time to make up for the defense, so he could only watch Ratliff dunk violently.

At the beginning of the game, a big center who was not good at attacking came with a violent dunk, and the morale boost brought to the Hawks was huge.

The Hawks immediately returned to defense after scoring the goal, and Ratliff's dunk caused the Nets fans to quickly boo.

Jason Collins sensed Kidd's annoyance and quickly picked it up and sent it to Kidd, who advanced to the frontcourt, and Kidd came to the frontcourt to see Liu Mang defend and called Kenyon Martin to come out to cover.

While the Hawks' attention was on Kidd, Richard Jefferson on the other side took advantage of Jason Collins' pick-and-roll to make a gap.

Just when Raheem, Liu Mang, and Prince were all focused on Kidd, he suddenly passed in the middle of the block, and passed to Richard Jefferson, who cut in at a 45-degree angle on the right side!

The threat of Kidd's 34 points in the last game, and Kenyon Martin's own threat, started from the outside, focusing the Hawks' attention on the top arc, and Richard Jefferson rushed to the basket to score two points.

The Nets beat the Hawks 5-2! Get off to a leading start!

It's time for the Eagles to attack again, not affected by the opponent's two goals at the beginning, not deliberately lowering the rhythm, and avoiding entering the situation of grinding defense in the first two games of the series, the first and second games are all playing and grinding defense, the first game is okay, Liu Mang broke out in the third quarter, and the second game was completely out of control, it depends on which side is lucky to score two more goals.

Obviously, the Nets, who have relied on the average points per game in the middle and lower reaches of the league in the past two years but have been able to average nearly 6 points per game for two consecutive seasons, prefer the rhythm of grinding.

On the contrary, it seems that the third and fourth games have a big difference, and even if they lose the fourth game, it is only because Kidd is unexpectedly accurate, and the overall strategy is still fine.

So, from the very beginning of this game, the Eagles determined that they should stick to their own rhythm and play a balanced game that could not let the pace of the game get out of hand.

The Nets quickly stepped back and said something to their teammates as they stepped back from Kidd.

Liu Mang pushed over, it was still the same tactic, Ratliff pulled to the free throw line, Liu Mang handed the ball to Ratliff, and cut into the basket empty-handed, Raheem gave Liu Mang a delay for Kidd, wanting Liu Mang to better take Kenyon Martin away, but Kidd stopped next to Rahim, and Richard Jefferson immediately changed his guard and followed Liu Mang to the bottom corner.

Richard Jefferson's footsteps are much faster than Kidd's, clinging to Liu Mang, and his height and weight are barely enough to withstand Muhammad's air cut, Kenyon Martin can also try to chase Liu Mang without the ball, and the two may shrink into the interior at any time.

Kidd withstood Rahim, not to mention, he was really better than Richard Jefferson, and in just one round, Kidd found a way to deal with Raheem's triangular offense on the inside, and he was very powerful.

But why is the triangle offensive so unsolvable?

Because this tactic is not killed, but the choice can be enough, Liu Mang took Richard Jefferson to the top arc, Ratliff passed the ball back to Liu Mang, and then entered the basket himself, Rahim brought Kidd to the left bottom line, Prince ran to the bottom corner on the right, Muhammad also returned to the bottom line and was ready to impact the basket at any time, and opened the space for Liu Mang to the top arc!

It's back to singles tactics, and the defender in front of Liu Mang has changed from Kidd, who is the best defender, to Richard Jefferson, who is still playing with his body in the second year!

Richard Jefferson looked at Liu Mang with a sinister smile on his face, and suddenly felt in his heart, why did he oppose this guy again! Didn't this guy open up space! Kidd, it's different from what you said!

Liu Mang dribbled the ball under his crotch continuously, and Richard Jefferson's head immediately popped up with Liu Mang's tentative step breakthrough in the previous games, and took a step back, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and wanted to throw!

Richard Jefferson rushed back and jumped to block!

But Liu Mang's jumping action was suddenly retracted, and when Richard Jefferson pounced, he slammed into Richard Jefferson and let out a wail......

"Beep......

The referee's whistle blows, and Richard Jefferson shoots for a foul!

Richard Jefferson looked at Liu Mang, who patted the crumpled jersey on his chest, and felt so aggrieved: You screamed so miserably, it looked like something happened to you, and you started screaming before you bumped into you! If you want to call, I will call!

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, took a long breath, and made free throws.

Three free throws and two hits, the first penalty was iron, the last two hit, it was okay, and he scored two points, and the score became 4-5.

It's time for the Nets to attack again, and the referee sends the ball to Richard Jefferson, who sends it to Kidd, who receives the ball and advances to the frontcourt.

Richard Jefferson and Kittels were on the left side of the basket, on the other side Jason Collins covered Kenyon Martin to block Muhammad, Kenyon Martin came to the top arc, Kidd and Kenyon Martin blocked, at this time Kidd took the ball and took a step over, Liu Mang was blocked by Muhammad and could not change the defense at the first time, and perfectly bypassed the screen, still blocking in front of Kidd.

Kidd immediately took a step forward to dribble, and suddenly a sudden stop changed direction, Liu Mang hurried to follow, but was blocked by Kenyon Martin!

Kidd and Kenyon Martin's back-to-back pick-and-rolls!

Kenyon Martin's blocking, this blocks people and it's really porcelain, don't look short, but the body is wide!

Mohammed finally made a save, but it was too late, and Kidd continued his fiery touch from the previous game, hitting from mid-range.

Kidd's rhythm was well mastered, and the Nets opened with a 7-4 run, leading the Hawks by three points!

Kidd's shooting feel is still so good today, the Hawks felt the pressure, Liu Mang quickly rushed over with the ball in the backcourt, trying to disrupt the rhythm and prevent the Nets from falling into this kind of stable positional battle to block and dismantle.

Liu Mang rushed all the way to the front court with the ball, joined in before Kidd was about to post it, and rushed to the basket in one go, completely ignoring tactics.

This kind of abruptness will make the tactics unable to play, but the Nets' defense ready to defend against the Hawks' triangle offense has also become chaotic, although pushed by Kidd, Liu Mang still killed from the right side from the bottom line to the edge of the three-second zone, and the Nets didn't expect Liu Mang to suddenly start and cooperate tacitly, Kenyon Martin and Jason Collins came together.

At this time, Rahim took advantage of Muhammad's off-ball block and rushed straight into the basket, Liu Mang passed the ball to Rahim, and Rahim flew and threw it......

It's iron!

Got off the hoop and fell.

The Nets made a mistake and were made to shrink to the basket by Liu Mang, and they just had the best chance to rebound!

Kidd judged where the rebound landed and grabbed the defensive rebound!

Kidd picks up the rebound, and then something big happens! The Eagles hurried back to defense, but Richard Jefferson, who had just been blocked by Muhammad, was already about to fall!

Prince played a life chase, but on the other side Kittels also played a fast break, Kidd accurately sent the ball to Kittels, Prince had to chase Kittels, Kittels distributed to Richard Jefferson, Richard Jefferson rushed to the basket and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

Richard Jefferson's dunk helped the Nets make it 9-4 and give the Nets a five-point lead over the Hawks.

The Nets started ferociously, forcing the Hawks to call a timeout first.

The offensive end is not a problem, the Hawks play okay offensively, but it seems as if the Nets' shooting is open, especially Kidd, which is really unacceptable.

It's a good base not to attack, but it suddenly started to attack!

The Hawks, for their part, emphasized the open cut on either side of the Nets and Kidd's pick-and-roll mid-range defense.

……

After the timeout, the Eagles possessed the ball, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt.

The timeout wasn't a separate timeout on the Hawks' side, the Nets also had time to make defensive adjustments to the Hawks' triangle offense.

On the Nets' side, there is obviously a feeling that the defense is going to be expanded, with Jason Collins standing under the basket, whoever plays in the low post will be covered, and Kenyon Martin is everywhere to make up for the defense.

Seeing Ratliffe facing Jason Collins alone, Jason Collins standing directly below the basket, indeed, this position is easy to make up for anyone who falls low, but Kenyon Martin's joint defense position, almost parallel to Muhammad, is indeed a good position to defend the defense......

So, Liu Mang faced Kidd, who jumped up, and sent a drop ball to the basket, and Ratliff received the ball and turned around and threw a small hook hand to hit it easily.

Kidd saw that Ratliff received the ball and scored easily, only to find that the biggest problem with their defense was that the position that Ratliff wanted to reach was too good, and he directly stepped on the arc of the reasonable collision area to receive the ball.

No matter how good the defense is, there are always loopholes, the Nets put too much emphasis on the triangle offense of the Hawks, but the Hawks don't just play triangle offense, this is just after watching the Lakers' style of play in the finals last year, the Hawks also imitated it.

However, he was able to find the loopholes on his side of the defense for the first time, Kidd really admired Liu Mang, turned around and glanced at Liu Mang who retreated, it's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, Kidd is going to be angry!

Liu Mang was backwards to defend, while returning to defend, the right hand that had just passed the ball compared to the sword finger, pouted and knocked on his temple towards Kidd with a playful expression.

Kidd feels like his IQ has been violated!
