Chapter 228: Home Victory
"He is worthy of being the player who has been elected to the list, this physical fitness is too exciting!" Director Su was amazed, he has always been straightforward and impartial, although now the whole of China is supporting the 76ers.
Larry Drew thinks very clearly, the 76ers are balanced offensively and defensively, and the only hope that the Hawks can win is to rely on impact, whether it is Josh Smith or Marvin Williams is the key to this series, if they can disrupt the 76ers' interior chemistry, the Hawks will have the best chance to win.
On the other side, Collins has arranged a strong offensive tactic on the inside, whether it is Marc Gasol or David West, and will have a clear advantage against the old Jason Collins.
The coaches of the two teams have their own ideas and tell the players all the tactical concepts, but when they are on the field, there are always some changes and differences in the execution.
For example, the first one was scored by Tang Wenlong himself with his personal ability, and then turned around and made a quick stop jump shot full of applause.
In the second round of the 76ers' offense, Lowry did not give Tang Wenlong any more points, moved to 45 degrees after opening the position, and gave the high lob to Gasol in the low post.
Gasol shook his shoulders and raised the ball high with one hand in a feint to turn around.
Jason Collins claims to be seven feet tall (2.13 meters), but legend has it that his real height does not exceed 2.10 meters, and even in another interview he admitted that in order to make himself look more like a center forward, he used to put several pairs of socks in his shoes. At this moment, compared with the 2.16m Marc Gasol, the gap is very obvious.
Gasol held his breath and his thighs exploded with power. The whole person leaned back to the past like a brown bear.
"Bang!"
Collins' arms tingled. With a muffled snort, the center of gravity of the body floated. The body unconsciously leaned back, but his feet stood still, and he actually prevented Gasol's hard chisel.
"Hah!" Collins let out a loud shout, the bruises on his forehead exposed, and he was brutally unpresentable.
In this instant, Gasol flicked his wrist like a trick, and the basketball disappeared from his hand, and his whole body was like a giant mountain and forcibly turned around. Turn around very fast!
This is a breakthrough action of turning away from the bottom line.
Gasol's ability to turn in the low post has always been very strong, and this turn was even more unexpected, Collins suddenly lost his position, watched Gasol dribble two steps after a turn, and then dunk with both hands under the basket.
4-2, the 76ers led by two points.
In response to Marvin's dunk just now, Gasol acted like a leader this time, and the Wajovia Center Arena was boiling all of a sudden, and the fans chanted Mark's name.
The Eagles attacked, and Teague blocked and dismantled Marvin. The 76ers quickly rotated defense, and Tang Wenlong forced up to move Joe Johnson, who let go of the defense. Marvin didn't have a chance to hit the basket or a three-point shot, and passed to Joe Johnson, at this time the 76ers completed the fill-in, Iguodala pounced to defend Joe Johnson, Tang Wenlong let go of Marvin to defend Josh, and the Hawks lost the opportunity to play tactics.
Joe Johnson singled out Iguodala on the left, dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed his body forward to the middle, and his mid-range pull-up jumper was interfered with and the ball didn't go in.
"It's not a good choice, Iguodala is the top four defenders in the league this year, and the top three are interior players." Su Qun said with a smile.
The 76ers attacked, Iguodala missed a high-arc shot on the right side, and the rebound was touched by Gasol out of the bottom line.
Teague skilfully controlled the ball through the halfcourt with his small thin legs, he stretched out his right hand to command, and the Eagles were aggressive in their running tactics, the basketball was in the hands of Josh Smith, and after the off-ball screen, Smith misplaced David West.
But in fact, in the usual game, the two are mostly in the No. 4 position, and there is nothing wrong with the position, but Josh Smith has a clear advantage in terms of movement speed against the ordinary No. 4 position.
This time he began to dribble to the left, took the middle position and finished the attack with a one-handed throw, the basketball smashed into the hoop and bounced high, and then fell straight into the basket. 4 to 4.
The 76ers attacked, Iguodala and Gasol did a blocking and dismantling attack, hitting the ground and giving the ball to Gasol, Gasol attracted the bag and transferred it to Tang Wenlong on the weak side of the ball in a large area, and the Hawks who contracted the defense line saved again, Tang Wenlong raised the ball and shook it off, dodged Joe Johnson's block, and after moving a step sideways, he shot unhurriedly and hit three points. 7 to 4.
The offensive efficiency of both teams in the opening game was very high, Tang Wenlong hit this three-pointer, half-squatting, his arms raised high and did not fall, pretending to be a hand.
The Hawks' outside shooting strength is good, Joe Johnson is more accurate, the shooting rate is 38.8 percent this season, Teague also has about 35 percent, only Josh Smith, this guy has a lot of outside shots in the Hawks, but the shooting percentage is very average, even only 25.7 percent this season, and 33 percent last season.
So for Josh's defensive strategy, the 76ers are the same as the Celtics in the last round.
Ten minutes later, the two teams entered the normal lineup rotation time, with Butler replacing Tang Wenlong, Hawes replacing Marc Gasol, and Luis replacing Lowry.
Entering the second round, Collins reactivated Hawes, after all, the Hawks' center strength was seriously damaged, and Hawes is the kind of center who can attack well, and it is best to use it as a substitute for the attack.
The scores of the two teams were close in the first quarter, with the 76ers leading by three points by a narrow margin of 27-24.
In the second quarter, the 76ers came off the bench, and Luis showed the style of super six, hitting consecutive mid-range drift jump shots, and the Hawks who played directly applied for a timeout.
The Eagles' backup point guard is Pugo, and Hinrich is a scoring guard, Luis is not tall, but his speed is extremely fast, and he feels hot today, Pugo can't guard at all.
The point difference was stretched to 10 points by the substitute, and calling a timeout did not have much effect, forcing Coach Larry to replace the main force on the court in advance to stabilize the situation on the court.
Collins staggered the appearance of Iguodala and Tang Wenlong, and the second half of the second quarter gave Tang Wenlong time to attack on his own, Tang Wenlong and Luis began to take turns attacking the weak Hawks inside, which soon caused Jason Collins to foul for the third time and Josh Smith also for two fouls.
At halftime, the 76ers led by 11 points, 59-48, and Luis scored a half-high 15 points.
In the second half, the 76ers seized the Hawks' interior problems and attacked, not only the raw attack on the outside, but also the low-post strong attack of the interior players, and soon forced the Hawks to continue to shrink the defensive line, so there were a lot of shooting opportunities on the outside.
The 76ers gave up the mid-range, and 90 percent of their offense was either inside or shooting three-pointers from beyond the three-point line.
The Celtics, who were sitting in front of the TV watching the game, were depressed, and they actually wanted to do the same, but they lacked players who could break through and attack in the low post, and they only relied on each other's coordinated passes, and they couldn't take advantage of the Hawks. For the first time, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge began to think deeply, is it true that the Celtics have no hope of winning the championship, and whether the Celtics should reshuffle the cards and enter the rebuilding era?
At the end of the game, the 76ers defeated the Hawks 119-101 at home, Tang Wenlong scored a game-high 28 points, Luis scored 5 points in the second half and scored 20 points in the game, and the third highest score on the 76ers' side was Gasol, who scored 17 points in the game, and a total of 7 people on the team scored double-doubles.
