537. A duel of techniques and tactics

Liu Mang was thinking about the stubble on his chin that he had deliberately not shaved.

The changes on the Hawks' side are not as effective as the changes on the Nets' side!

The main thing is that Liu Mang and Prince didn't score two three-pointers!

Liu Mang saw that the Nets were betting that Raheem played the pinnacle of his career playoff performance in the last round, with a career-high 48 points and 30+ triple-doubles, and after Raheem entered the peak of physiology and technology, he played his best playoff performance, so he had to put defending Raheem on the first task and tentatively let go of the two bottom corners.

Put the bottom corner three-pointer, the main defense in the close range of the scorer, this is the habit of this era, and even led to the future after people began to pay attention to the bottom corner three-point, once there will be the bottom corner three-point pitcher will not be anything else at least worth tens of millions of years of crazy times, because the defensive habit has been developed for a long time, the person who holds the ball is often really on the line and under the basket, the bottom corner has become the blind spot of the defensive player, often the ball is passed to the bottom corner of the pitcher, the defending side only noticed that there is a person there, and the other party has already shot when the defense goes up.

The Hawks guessed that Raheem would definitely attract a lot of packs, at least at the beginning of the game, so they took advantage of this and created scoring opportunities for Liu Mang and Prince, but Liu Mang and Prince were not angry, and the bottom corner opportunity came out and did not shoot.

Raheem has already attracted the ball twice after attracting the defense, and the opponent is likely to use Rahim as a bait next, and catching the ball outside the free throw line is not a common style of play for Rahim......

Thinking of this, Liu Mang had an idea.

"Ace, what's the matter, it's time to change tactics?" Coach Kruger came up and asked, Coach Kruger has been hungry for a lot of tactics for the Nets, and he is ready to change tactics at any time.

"No, let's continue," Liu Mang shook his head and called Rahim up: "Sharif, you ...... like this"

……

After the timeout, the Hawks served in the frontcourt, Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the top arc, Kidd defended it again, Prince came to the left 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, it was Kittels who defended him, Muhammad and Ratliff went to the basket, Kenyon Martin and Mutombo guarded the basket, Raheem was in the middle distance on the right side, running with Richard Jefferson.

The Nets thought that the Hawks called a timeout to change their offensive tactics, but they didn't expect the opponent's position to be the same as at the beginning, and then they saw Liu Mang and asked Raheem to go up to the free throw line to catch the ball.

After Liu Mang passed the ball to Rahim, he ran without the ball and entered the interior again, and ran from the right side of the three-second zone to the bottom right corner with Ratliff's block.

Sure enough, the Nets defended the two bottom corner shooters tighter! I probably saw that this tactic is to use Raheem as the person who pins down the defense, mainly passing!

Liu Mang and Prince both tried to shoot a three-pointer, just now the Nets let go of the two three-pointers, not twice in a row to put the same person, but one on one side, just to prevent the two of them from shooting in a row to find the feel, now both of them have tried to shoot once, according to Prince's 36 percent, Liu Mang's 41 percent season three-point shooting rate, the second shot is likely to score, so the Nets did not let go of the two again, Kidd immediately bypassed Ratliff and Mutombo when Liu Mang went around the basket, and directly followed Liu Mang, Instead of swinging at the distance between Liu Mang and Rahim.

The Nets continued to test the Hawks' offensive tactics, leaving Richard Jefferson alone to defend Raheem from the outside.

Just as Liu Mang entered the basket, Rahim started! Relying on his strong body to crush directly against Richard Jefferson, Richard Jefferson felt what it means to be weak and helpless, Raheem seemed to be unhindered, and went straight into the free throw line for a step!

At this time, in order to delay Liu Mang after blocking and dismantling with Ratliff, and not letting Liu Mang get rid of Kidd directly, Mutombo stood on the edge of the three-second zone, although he was still able to prevent Ratliff from playing high, but he couldn't stand back to the basket to defend Raheem as soon as possible, because Ratliff directly grabbed a rebound, and he resisted him, and Kidd followed Liu Mang, and there was no way to pinch him, so Kenyon Martin pounced!

Rahim then passed the ball to the left side of the three-second zone, and Mohammed received the ball and stepped into the basket to dunk the ball into the basket.

I didn't expect the final score to be here in Muhammad!

Organize the offense, pass the ball to the final scoring point, you need to take a look, give a look, or become a part of the cooperation, the Nets are very good unguarded, and they have been paying attention to the details in this regard, otherwise they will not become one of the best defensive teams in the league, but Raheem has been looking at Prince, his eyes have been looking at Liu Mang's running position, and he rushed in to pay attention to Liu Mang and the basket, and he didn't even look at Muhammad, except for the final catch and dunk in the whole offense, Muhammad did not participate, It was Muhammad who scored in the end!

There is only one thought in the hearts of the Nets players, and Kidd is right, the Hawks are big liars!

The Eagles quickly returned to defense, and Kidd was just taken to the bottom corner by Liu Mang, and he couldn't fight back at the first time, so he could only fall to the position.

The Hawks finally started to find some offensive solutions, the Nets pushed in, and this time the Nets played another three-point strategy, Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson flew on the left and right wings, scaring the Hawks' defense into shrinking in, but suddenly, Richard Jefferson turned back and came to a cold switchback run when Raheem had already received the basket, Richard Jefferson ran to a 45-degree angle for Kittels to block Prince, Kittels ran to a 45-degree angle!

Raheem can't expand it at the first time, his physical fitness is good, but he can't stand Richard Jefferson's explosive speed comparable to Carter!

Kittels ran to the edge of the three-point line at a 45-degree angle, and before Prince came around the pick-and-roll, Kidd's pass had arrived, and Kittels took the ball and made a quick shot to deny Prince a chance to get close.

Kittels' three-point shot hit again.

10 to 2! After the Hawks scored a two-pointer, the Nets immediately made a strong three-pointer to stretch the margin to 8 points!

When it came to the Hawks' offense again, Liu Mang continued to advance to the top arc, and also made the same gesture to Rahim, the Nets were ready to fight, this time taking into account the defense of Muhammad, Mutombo was not prepared to delay Liu Mang for Kidd, and Kidd was ready for a more difficult defense.

But...... Raheem came out to block the inside on the left side of Kidd, and Liu Mang rushed in from the right!

Kidd didn't know where to start with a greeting in his heart, so hurry around the block!

This came too suddenly, this gesture just now was still a high position to catch the ball, why did it become a block and dismantle this time?

Demolition Master level 5 trigger!

92+8, although the peak speed is two points lower than before, but the explosive speed after blocking and dismantling of 100 is still not something Kidd can keep up with!

Liu Mang wiped into the three-point line and was just about to enter the free throw line, when Kenyon Martin appeared in front of Liu Mang, Mutombo guarded the three-second zone, and the basket was dominated by two opponents who had no scoring ability, and Mutombo mainly avoided being squeezed out of the three-second zone by the two.

After Liu Mang pulled horizontally to the right, he went to the side to bypass Kenyon Martin and enter the basket, but at this time, Mutombo blocked a step outside the right side of the three-second zone, Liu Mang suddenly stopped facing Mutombo, bent his legs and knees, Kenyon Martin and Mutombo both jumped, Liu Mang jumped up, but jumped on the spot, and threw the ball to the other side of the basket in the air......

It's a pass again! And to the forgotten Muhammad on the left side of the basket! An empty pass! Ratliff ran out to block Kidd and Richard Jefferson as Liu Mang reached the right side of the three-second zone, Ratliff stretched out his long arm and jammed Kidd and Richard Jefferson, and Muhammad jumped high to press the ball into the basket.

After Muhammad dunked, the Hawks immediately returned to defense, and the Nets' counterattack had no way to play, Kidd was stopped by Ratliff at a step inside the free throw line, and there was no way to pick up the ball and serve directly, Kenyon Martin was still wrapping Liu Mang, but the opponent directly received it, and it was too late to go down.

Tactics, isn't it just a trick to deceive people, and the Eagles' two attacks have brought out the essence of "liars" to the fullest.

It's time for the Nets to attack again.

10 to 4, the Nets still have a 6-point advantage, there is no rush at all, they lower the tempo,

After Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson were still one step inside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on both sides, ready to make an empty cut to the inside, and wanted to play a reverse run to attract shrinkage tactics, but the Hawks' side, this time they did not shrink so much, Muhammad and Rahim were a big step in front of them, preventing them from cutting, but regardless of their shots, they did not directly retract the basket, but trusted Ratliff's basket defense.

The Nets trust an old man who claims to be 37 years old but looks like a 47-year-old, so why don't the Hawks trust a teammate who is at the peak of his 30s and has won the block king for two consecutive years?

Not to mention, even if Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin can squeeze two opponents into the basket, they don't dare to rush in directly to ask for the ball to hit the basket.

Kidd whistled and changed tactics!

The Nets got into action, with Mutombo on the inside coming out and going to a 45-degree angle on the left to block Richard Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin going to the bottom right corner to block Kittles.

It's still a two-wing block-and-tear cut! It's just that it becomes Richard Jefferson and Kittels! Kenyon Martin helped Kittels block and dismantle, Muhammad barely kept up after changing defenses, Kittles' physical fitness did decline a lot, otherwise he wouldn't have switched to the Nets' No. 1 outside shooter, and he was still a master of air cuts last season.

Not on the other side, after Richard Jefferson borrowed the pick-and-roll, Ratliff couldn't keep up at all! The explosive acceleration was too fast, and Raheem was difficult to catch up after bypassing the block, and Kidd's pass was passed when Mutombo blocked Richard Jefferson, Richard Jefferson took a step around the block and just received the ball, and the pass prediction made the fans at the scene can't help but exclaim! It's so floating! Watching Kidd's pass is the same as watching a magician pass, it's all the art of passing!

Liu Mang knew that something was going to happen the moment Kidd passed the ball, and immediately rushed over, blocking Richard Jefferson, and Raheem blocked Richard Jefferson one after the other, Richard Jefferson passed back to Kidd, and Kidd received the ball and shot three-pointers!

It's really open!

The Nets scored 13 straight points to lead the Hawks by 9 points 13-4!

Scored three three-pointers in a row in the opening game, and the Nets felt hot on the outside today!

Liu Mang was a little anxious, and he missed Kidd, the only guy on the Nets team who hit more than 100 three-point points in a single season this year.

The nickname of Ji Bu is too impressive, Liu Mang subconsciously went to the bag, forgetting that Kidd came to the Nets in the second year, until the year of retirement, the number of three-point shots in 11 consecutive seasons exceeded 100, especially during the Nets and Mavericks period, more than 130 three-pointers in a single season for 9 consecutive seasons, and the total number of three-point shots hit when he retired ranked seventh in history, and was later surpassed by Carter and Curry, Nowitzki, and Joe Johnson out of the top ten in history.

This year, the Nets' offense can have more changes, relying on Kidd's three-point development, although the layup is still pitted, but with a three-point hand, Kidd has a second trick on the offensive end, in addition to blocking and dismantling the mid-range shot, Kidd has three points, and there are more offensive styles to choose from!

After Kidd's three-point shot, the Nets quickly retreated, also blocking the Hawks' fast break.

Seeing that the point difference was about to be stretched to more than 10 points, Liu Mang couldn't help it, dribbled and advanced to the frontcourt, watching the Nets' interior defense like an iron bucket, and was beaten by Raheem and Liu Mang after an inside pass and cut with a posture that would shrink at any time, Prince is now just a catch-and-shoot pitcher on the offensive end, and it is a bit too embarrassing to ask him to do too much, Liu Mang decided to play one himself! Fight your own threats first!

Liu Mang retreated while dribbling the ball under his crotch, this picture Rahim is all too familiar, the signature breakthrough move of the guy who was once suppressed by him to the fourth pick in the draft! Raheem immediately went to the right baseline to open up space.

Stephen Marbury's tentative step breakthrough move!

The Nets have been studying the Hawks for a long time, especially Kidd, and have been paying attention to the Hawks' games this season, especially Liu Mang's continuous improvement in his style of play, Kidd has been impressed, and the progress is too fast! From passing to breaking, coupled with the already accurate three-point shooting, Liu Mang already has a first-class feeling in the league when he attacks with the ball, so Kidd has carefully studied many of Liu Mang's technical moves, and what makes him feel incredible is Liu Mang's learning ability, and it feels more terrible to see it once than once!

Now Liu Mang's action, Kidd immediately reacted, it was Marbury's tentative breakthrough!

It's not terrible to imitate Marbury's breakthrough, because few can imitate it well, unlike Jordan's breakthrough that relies on physical fitness and feints, Kobe Bryant and Mashburn imitate it quite well, don't look at their faces, and change their No. 24 jerseys to No. 23, thinking that Jordan has changed teams.

But the breakthrough of technology flow, although some people imitate it, but it is difficult to imitate it in place, and it is better to practice a breakthrough technology that you are good at if you have the spare time to imitate the breakthrough of the technology flow that others are good at.

But Liu Mang was so impressed by Kidd that he really learned it! Although I don't use it much, I can't help it, relying on the advantage of speed, it's really not worse than Marbury! If you count Marbury's slightly average mid- and long-range shooting, Liu Mang does even better!

Liu Mang dribbled under his crotch and slowly retreated, Kidd didn't dare to follow too tightly but didn't dare to relax, Marbury's tentative step breakthrough The most difficult point to prevent is to accelerate too tightly, and the opponent has a better acceleration time if he is too far away, unless he retreats directly to the free throw line like Liu Mang's defense Francis, in order to avoid being accelerated.

But not to mention Liu Mang, as far as Marbury's 31 percent or so three-pointers, he didn't dare to let go of it this year, Marbury and Francis are different, Francis shoots less if the outside line is not allowed, and Marbury waves up more than 30 times to shoot and fly.

Not to mention Liu Mang, except for Ray Allen and Peja, no outside line in the league dares to say that it is better than Liu Mang's three points, Kidd watched Liu Mang's grinding crotch dribble, and could only try to stay in a position that was not far away or close according to his own experience.

Suddenly, Liu Mang took a step back suddenly, bounced up with both feet in a small broken step, and catapulted out towards the left front after landing.

Kidd, who was preoccupied, hurriedly retreated, took a step back to the right rear and returned to the three-point line, suddenly, Kidd suddenly thought that this must be a feint, and hurriedly took another step towards the left rear.

Really! As Kidd expected, after Liu Mang took a step forward to the left, before he was about to cross the three-point line, he kicked with his left foot and changed direction to the right sharply!

At the same time as Liu Mang changed direction, Kidd just took a step towards the left rear, Liu Mang, Kidd, and the basket were exactly in a straight line!

Kidd was quite proud, waiting for Liu Mang to burst in and get stuck in his arms, he could stretch out his groping hand...... No, it's a close to Liu Mang trying to make a mistake for Liu Mang!

However, Liu Mang changed backwards and stopped outside the three-point line! Grab the ball and throw a three-point shot!

Kidd was startled, secretly screamed badly, and immediately pounced back, but Liu Mang had already jumped up, Kidd's outstretched hand was like a machine gun aiming frame, and the ball thrown out by Liu Mang flew over Kidd's head and plunged into the basket!

Fast and accurate!

The Eagles made the third three-pointer and finally hit!

7-13, Liu Mang's three-point shot finally opened the difference to ten points, and the crisis was resolved.

Finally, when it was time for the Nets to attack, the Nets finally missed the three-point shot, and Kittels missed the three-point shot after receiving Kidd's ball.

The offensive rebounds can't be grabbed, the defensive rebounds are still well guarded, the Nets are very quick to defend, Mutombo is much faster than Jason Collins, his state decline is really serious, but the speed and movement are still very good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to mix in the NBA five or six years later.

The Hawks and the Nets, the two counter-attacking teams, are all pressing the rhythm, and they don't want the other side to play a counterattack, so they can only fight skills and tactics!

Liu Mang pushed over, and saw that Kidd was played by Liu Mang just now, and his expression began to be ruthless.

Liu Mang and Fa are ruthless, the two are more energetic!
