David? Lee's role on the offensive end was undoubtedly a catalyst, and when he pulled up the high post for the second time, the Suns still chose to rotate Marion on the perimeter to defend him.

D'Antoni's defensive strategy against the Hawks is to use Cotter on the inside? The combination of Thomas and Xiaosi to imprison Da Yao, in his opinion, whether it is Purzbilla, Anderson, or Dio in Atlanta, can be dealt with rotation defense or even simple air defense, the first two blue-collar fronts are the objects that can be defended, and Dio can let Marion come to defense, the hacker is about the same height as the Frenchman, but the super long arm span and excellent athleticism are enough to stifle Dio's attack.

But in the face of David? Lee is different, this first-year student pulled to the high post to face the Suns' No. 1, 2, and 3 positions all have a height advantage.

The hacker filled in front of him, and the visitor-like face and extra-long arms didn't frighten the rookie Daqian, David? Li Qiran started to cut to the inside, and after a false step, he retracted his center of gravity and then made a move to push the ball to the bottom corner, and the Suns had a vacancy on the outside Marion knew it, so David? Li Zuoshi's pass completely attracted his attention, but he didn't expect the immature white guy in front of him to jump up and shoot steadily!

"Huh!" , basketball hollow into the basket.

Thibodeau, who was on the sidelines, did not hide the joy on his face at all, and waved his fist fiercely.

Competing with the Suns for the tempo and hitting the ball inside to get a high shooting percentage is the key, and a big forward with offensive talent who can fight for Da Yao's interior space is the key to the key!

David? Lee apparently did that, knowing that he wasn't Sean? May was born into a famous family and was imposing in the NCAA. He's just a rookie at the end of the first round. Far less than North Carolina four. Or even Channing? Fry...... However, at the moment, it seems that he has shown a high degree of adaptability to the tactical role on the field.

Of course, Uncle Tom won't know that this year's rookie, whether it is Sean? May, Marven? Williams, Channing? Fry...... Or Bogut, Bynum, and ultimately none of David? Lee's achievements are high.

D'Antoni frowned vigorously, and last year's playoff trip made him realize that bazookas alone can't hit a championship opponent. You also need to have armor equipment on your body to be more confident, so he found Kurt? Thomas, hesitating, called the opening first timeout.

"Amare, come out next round and see that rookie die! Kurt, is it okay for Yao to leave it to you alone? D'Antoni looked at veteran Thomas and was met with a shake of his fist in response.

One-on-one basket is exactly what Thibodeau wants, Cotter? Thomas was a defensive stalwort, but that was when he was younger. In the low post and Da Yao heads-up, the aging Thomas was completely at a disadvantage. In the first quarter, more than 80 percent of the Hawks' balls will hit the inside, and Da Yao has an advantage in singles Thomas. Lee or Iguodala and Paul on the outside have open spots, Josh? Smith also attacked the Suns' interior from time to time, and the quality man even made Xiao Si and Marion each get a foul.

On the defensive end, Paul's restriction on Nash played a decisive role, and every time the Suns served from the baseline, Paul would stop in front of Nash, while Iguodala and Josh? Smith will go all out, David? Although Lee is a little thin in front of Xiao Si, his defensive attitude makes Uncle Tom very satisfied, and when he can't stop Stoudemire, the rookie will not hesitate to foul and interrupt Xiao Si's imminent dunk.

At this moment, Lao Jiang's strategy of desperately hoarding interior players has shown its advantage, and Anderson has joined David to replace him? Lee, Birdman has tougher defense, stronger bounce, and more fighting momentum against it, while Da Yao will stand high on the offensive end, Josh? Smith, Iguodala and Anderson can all use their feet to make frequent air cuts, and with Paul's scheduling, the Hawks' impact on the interior is still strong.

Fortunately, the Suns' outside shooting rate in the first quarter was quite impressive, and Nash frequently used cover to throw three-pointers on the outside at critical moments, and when the whistle blew, the Hawks led by four points, but in front of the Suns, even a 40-point difference was not safe at all.

In the second quarter, the Eagles took the lead in changing formations, with Dio replacing Da Yao, Danny? Granger replaces Josh? Smith, Crawford and Payton were all on the lineback, and Thibodeau finally offered his copycat version of the small lineup.

With the copycat bombardment, the speed of the game was naturally pulled up, but it is very interesting that Thibodeau did not arrange Payton to hold the ball, but Crawford held the ball on the outside, with the help of his teammates' blocking and dismantling to break through, Uncle Glove became a hub, his old spicy vision of the ball allowed him to easily transfer the ball thrown out by Crawford into the interior to the empty space for the first time, and when the old Payton was taken care of, Dio could become another hub.

If D'Antoni's team focuses on the speed of attack, then Thibodeau's small-ball tactics take the shortcut of the speed of the ball, of course, the core of the tactics is the word "speed" in the end.

It is said that the Suns' outside three-point shooting becomes terrible after speeding up, but the Hawks also show terrible outside firepower.

From the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position, from the old Payton to the rookie Granger, a group of outside three-pointers are both crisp and decisive, the two sides go back and forth, and the score still maintains a slight point difference, which is different from Thibodeau's relaxed freehand, D'Antoni's face is calm, and the Suns' lineup left on the court is still the starter, and the physical consumption is self-evident.

What's more, Thibodeau's defensive arrangement against Nash is worrying......

Paul and Crawford are both fast-handed players, from the first second of the whistle, the Hawks' guards have never relaxed their entanglement with Nash, and the defensive intensity is quite high, making it clear that they want to limit Nash's Suns engine, even if they can't effectively limit the Canadian's play, the bottom line is to consume his physical energy.

Besides, Thibodeau still has old Payton in his hand, although the gloves are not as good as before, it is enough to fight for ten minutes, and the three of them take turns to guard the defense, and Nash will not even be easy to control the ball.

It's just that D'Antoni doesn't know that Uncle Tom still has Monta for him? Ellis......

After only two seconds of hesitation, D'Antoni called the Brazilian lightning Balbosa in front of him, and after some advice, sent him on the field, and then used Tim? Thomas replaces Stoudemire, and as for the hacker Marion, who is a physical expert, he can echo Balbosa and make the difference not widen. (To be continued......)
