Returning home with a 2-0 scoreline, the Eagles are desperate to win at least one game and make their situation look less so bad. But in reality, their home record this season is mediocre, only eighth in the East, and they are not as high as their away record, and it will be difficult for them to beat the Bobcats at home.

Woodson tasted the sweetness of the change, and he still put on the starting lineup of Bibby, Johnson, Marvin, Smith and Pachuglia in Game 3, hoping that they can play a stronger role after a little run-in in the last game.

Against the Hawks' starting lineup, the Bobcats' biggest flaw is that Roy has a hard time limiting Johnson's ball-handling singles on the defensive end, and if he and Ariza switch defenses, Johnson will give the ball to Marvin and continue to put pressure on him. Roy suffered like that for almost the entire game in the last game, but he did a good job of closing the hole in other ways.

In the third game, the Hawks intensified, as long as they faced Roy, both Johnson and Marvin decisively adopted the way of back-to-back singles, which allowed them to give full play to their strengths, and secondly, it could also make Roy's physical strength more quickly. Jackson seemed helpless, he could only let the players play another set of tactics, which was supposed to be used as a backup.

The player who organized the attack changed from Roy to Gasol Jr. After Chang Wei's non-human weight loss training, Gasol Jr.'s athletic ability has improved significantly compared to before he joined, and now he is able to take over the responsibility of the organization. He can even break through with the ball near the free-throw line and get to the basket with ease with a throw or hook.

Of course, Gasol Jr.'s main job is to provide assists to his teammates, including Roy, who is too physically exhausted because of the opponent's deliberate targeting. He's smart enough to be a stopper, and even when he wants to attack, he uses cover to cut to the basket with his bare hands and hit a layup, rather than blindly shooting from the outside, even if his teammates have the initiative under the basket.

Four men, including the big man Milicic, were running around Gasol Jr., and he just had to get the ball to the right person at the right time and in the right way. Gasol Jr. doesn't have that much desire to score, he's happy to do these things, and in his opinion, the team's wins are much more important than individual stats.

Gasol Jr. dished out six assists in the first quarter, and even more indirect assists, with the Bobcats scoring 39 points in the quarter, while the Hawks, who didn't feel good, scored 27 points. Jackson was pleased with this, but he also warned everyone at the break not to let up and to maximize the margin in the second quarter if they could.

The Bobcats who followed the coach's instructions stepped up their running in the second quarter, and although the Hawks also have a group of players in their prime, the gap between them and the Bobcats in terms of physical strength is undoubtedly quite large. While Roy was still running all over the court, the opponent who had played a few minutes less than them was already running out of breath, which is what Chang Wei has always emphasized.

Chang Wei has always believed that no matter what style of contemporary basketball, physical fitness is always the foundation of everything, and only abundant physical fitness can allow players to play for a longer time, and still be able to score under the basket or hit long shots at the last critical moment. That's why he's put a lot of emphasis on fitness in any team, and now it's definitely time to reap the benefits.

The physical disadvantage made it difficult for the Hawks to achieve the desired results on both ends of the floor, and the difference between the two sides was slowly but surely widening. Jackson simply continued to use Gasol Jr. as the center of the organization, which can be regarded as relieving the pressure on others.

At the end of the first half, the Bobcats had a huge 16-point advantage at 60-44, and if you add in the morale of the two sides, the commentators on the field could have claimed that the second half was garbage time. But Woodson wasn't about to give up, and he kept cheering his players up at half-time in the hope that they would pick themselves up and take on their opponents.

Sometimes chicken soup for the soul is still useful, and at the beginning of the second half, Johnson made two consecutive three-pointers to lead the team to a 9-0 run, and instantly narrowed the gap to single digits. This undoubtedly infuriated the Bobcats' players, and under Jackson's instructions, their defensive intensity increased dramatically, and the Hawks' shooting percentage was simply an avalanche of decline. After Roy hit a mid-range shot from Gasol Jr.'s pass, the difference between the two sides came to 15 points again, which seemed normal.

The Bobcats held a double-digit lead until the end of the third quarter, and when the Hawks found themselves unable to close the gap in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, Woodson reluctantly replaced the starting lineup, which meant the rest was garbage time. Jackson, however, appeared cautious, and he let the main players stay until they had a lead of more than 20 points, which was also a kind of insurance.

In the end, the Hawks were beaten 108-90 by the Bobcats in their first game on their home court, and the 18-point difference made them further aware of the huge difference in strength between themselves and the Bobcats, which was a heavy blow to the team's morale.

Such a blow was even carried into the fourth game, where the Hawks started with a 0-of-8 shooting and a perfect 15-0 start by the Bobcats. Of course, the Hawks then began to break the scoring drought, but the huge hole was not something that could be filled in a moment, in fact, the Bobcats still led by 13 points at 55-42 at the end of the first half.

The Hawks players became more and more frustrated, while the Bobcats players became more and more excited, and they even juggled on the field, which drew boos from the fans. But in any case, the outcome of this game has basically been decided, and the Hawks, who have lost their fighting spirit, are not at all a threat to the Bobcats, and the final score between the two sides is 105-94, and the Bobcats still have leeway.

For the Bobcats, making it to the second round makes history, and they don't care if the big score is 4-0 or 4-3, of course, the former looks prettier, but they only care if they can make it. For this team that has only been established for less than two years, it is rare to be able to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals, although everyone is cheering for them, but basically do not believe that they can go far, many experts have said in interviews that the Bobcats season will end here.

Such remarks undoubtedly hit the good mood of the Bobcats, who vowed to cause problems for their opponents in the semi-finals, and it would be better if they could advance. In Chang Wei's view, if you stick to your own style of play, nothing is impossible.
