Seeing the Hawks' strange defensive strategy, Sanders, who was standing next to the bench, was a little confused.

What does Larry Drew mean by that? Do you put Li Kaiming to shoot mid-distance?

Sanders frowned and thought about it for a long time without understanding that even if Li Kaiming was allowed to shoot, his scoring efficiency would exceed that of the vast majority of players in the league, and it seemed that it was completely out of touch with the kind of aggressive defense he expected!

But what Sanders didn't know was that this tactic was already the most suitable tactic for defending Li Kaiming that Larry Deru's coaching staff could come up with, because after studying the footage for more than ten days, they came to a conclusion that made them extremely desperate.

This Li Kaiming has no dead ends at all on the offensive end!

However, their research was not for nothing, and Li Kaiming's performance and statistics in the regular season were almost ripped over by the Hawks coaching staff, and finally discovered an important thing.

The reason why Li Kaiming was able to win the scoring title in his rookie season was because of his god-like scoring efficiency, and his main scoring was concentrated outside the three-point line and under the basket.

These two offensive methods, one has more points in a single attack, and the other has a high shooting rate, no wonder this guy is efficient!

After discovering this, the Hawks coaching staff was like a treasure, how did the Hawks lose the last game? was beaten to death by Li Kaiming alone, and he was stunned at the beginning!

Therefore, as long as Li Kaiming is restricted from making efficient shots outside the three-point line and under the basket, and forcing him to shoot from inefficient mid-range, even if his hand is still against the sky, there will be no situation where the opening was blown up by a wave like the last game.

The Eagles, a team that works within the three-point line at a glance, is most afraid of the team with strong scoring explosiveness, as long as the opponent's explosive scoring is suppressed, and then dragged into the slow-paced mid-distance positional battle, then it will be the territory that the Eagles are good at!

I have to say that the head coach and coaching staff of the Hawks still have something, this tactic looks a little stupid, and it did not completely block all of Li Kaiming's shots, but left an exit, but in fact, this kind of defense is a higher level of thinking, Li Kaiming took most of the Wizards' shots, but did not come up with much higher scoring efficiency than others, it means that the Eagles' opportunity is coming!

The two sides went back and forth for a quarter, and the final battle was 29-28, with the Wizards leading by one point into the second quarter.

It stands to reason that the team is leading on the road, and as the head coach of the team, he should be happy, but as time went on, Sanders's brow became more and more wrinkled!

When Li Kaiming was off the court at the end of the first quarter, Sanders grabbed Li Kaiming.

"Li, the situation is not right, you can't fight like this!"

Li Kaiming scratched his head, "I feel like my hand feels pretty good, and we're still ahead, why can't we fight like this?" ”

Sanders' face was surprisingly serious, "If we hit us like this, we will fall into the trap of the opposite side, you feel so good, why did the team only score 29 points in the first quarter?" It's not the rhythm we want at all! ”

Li Kaiming was stunned on the spot in an instant, yes! When I felt explosive before, I could beat the opponent in the first quarter, why did I feel so good today, not only did the team score not go up, but the difference between the score and the opposite side was so small? There must be a problem!

Although Li Kaiming is much shallower than Sanders in terms of tactical understanding, as a party on the court, there are some things Sanders understands a little!

Sanders gathered the players together, then took out the tactics board and drew a few simple strokes on it, "The situation has changed, the No. 1 tactic formulated before the game is abandoned, we have to let Lee act as a bait, the main play is not on the ball, and the others are ready to receive the ball on the field, remember, shoot decisively, don't hesitate!" ”

The intermission passed, the game came back, the Hawks served in the second quarter, and after going to the frontcourt, they ran a simple blocking tactic, did not directly create opportunities, but emptied all the defenders on one side, and then the ball was given to Joe Johnson to single Nick Young, Johnson received the ball and turned to wipe it in, and then drifted in the middle range to hit!

29 to 30! The Eagles overtake!

The corners of Larry Drew's mouth on the sidelines gradually began to rise......

Sure enough, it was the right thing to do!

However, the next scene that happened surprised Larry Derew, because this time the Wizards did not hand the ball to Li Kaiming after half time, but the team's point guard Hinrich held the ball, and then Li Kaiming went up to cover.

Because Li Kaiming chose to dismantle outside the three-point line after blocking and dismantling, instead of going down like an old-school power forward, Horford also had to follow.

And Hinrich took advantage of the gap blocked by Li Kaiming, and directly pushed the ball into the inside line, and the only remaining inside Collins in the penalty area hesitated, and then was thrown directly by Hinrich!

31 to 30!

Larry Drew looked down and said a few words to the assistant coach next to him, but he didn't want to make a change so soon, so let's take a look.

The Hawks served the baseline ball, and after reaching the frontcourt, the ball was given to Joe Johnson, who played a double with Josh Smith, Smith played a no-ball "Qin Wang Winding Pillar", cut to the inside to face Blatch's defensive pull-up layup, but unfortunately missed, Li Kaiming got the rebound and handed it to Hinrich.

The Hawks quickly retreated and did not give the Wizards any chance to break fast, and after arriving in the frontcourt, Li Kaiming still covered Hinrich, because last time Hinrich broke through to the interior and no one helped to defend, resulting in a leak under the basket, so this time Horford helped delay Hinrich.

However, Hinrich and Li Kaiming have played a season of blocking and dismantling, and at this moment he didn't need to look back to know that Li Kaiming must be ready to receive the ball outside the three-point line, so he directly flicked his wrist, passed the ball behind his head, and aimed directly at Li Kaiming at the top of the arc.

Li Kaiming did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and threw it when he pulled up the three-point shot, Horford knew that he had made a mistake this time, and pounced like crazy, but his posture of teeth and claws did not pose any threat in Li Kaiming's opinion, and the three-point shot fell into the basket with a bang!

"Al, three points! Don't put three points! Help defend things to others! Larry Drew, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but shout.

Horford had a long memory this time, but when the rest of the Hawks helped defend Hinrich, the latter directly found the outside shooter, and Nick Young and Josh Howard, who had held back for two games, finally began to hit three-pointers!

As the Wizards' shooters recovered their senses and hit shots one after another, Larry Drew's face gradually sank as he stood next to the court!

What he is most afraid of is this situation, the Wizards are in full bloom, and the offensive firepower is very terrifying!

Larry Drew made an emergency adjustment to his defense, but it didn't work, and at halftime, the Wizards' lead came to double digits, and the Hawks fans in the stadium gradually became quieter.

However, the Hawks are not vegetarians, not to mention that the Wizards' defense is still as bad as ever, and the shooters' hand felt slightly lower in the third quarter, and the Hawks seized the opportunity to close the score to 5 points, and the difference is still shrinking.

It wasn't until the last five minutes of the game that Li Kaiming, who had played most of the half without the ball, suddenly stepped up, and Larry Drew seemed to see the nightmarish scene of the previous game again.

Li Kaiming changed direction from outside the three-point line and pulled back to face Horford and hit a three-point shot!

Li Kaiming took a step outside the three-point line and hit a three-point shot with a cold arrow!

Li Kaiming wore flowers and butterflies, worshiped Buddha and shook Horford, and then hit the basket, faced Collins' violent dunk, and caused an additional penalty!

……

After five minutes of stormy offense, the Philips Arena was in shambles, with the vast majority of fans leaving the stadium two minutes before the end of the game, and the Hawks were once again devastated at home by the Wizards or Li Kaiming!

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Li Kaiming, who had been sitting on the bench for a minute, stood up and high-fived his teammates in celebration.

He played 41 minutes tonight, shooting 16-of-24 from the field, including 3-of-5 three-pointers and 3-of-4 free throws, and scored 38 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block.

The main reason why he was able to win so easily tonight was because of the tactical adjustment in the second quarter, which allowed his teammates to get back in shape!

Hinrich played 39 minutes, scoring 21 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, and Josh Howard didn't make many shots on the offensive end, but he won with high efficiency and basically didn't make mistakes defensively.

Nick Young hit three three-pointers to keep the Hawks from helping to defend the interior easily.

Blatch also got 15 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks in the cooperation with Hinrich, and it can be said that tonight's Wizards are in full bloom and finally found their style in the third game of the series!

After the game, Li Kaiming left only one sentence to the reporters who had infinite questions in his heart, and then left the scene directly.

"This series has just begun."

After the Wizards won the Hawks away game, the commentators who belittled Li Kaiming and the Wizards still refused to lower their noble heads, and in their eyes, it seemed that the Wizards deserved to lose.

"It's just that the Hawks didn't feel good today, and they will find their touch in the next game and finally eliminate the Wizards 4-2!" A. Smith's mouth is harder than a drop of water in science fiction, and he even thinks the Eagles can win three games in a row!

"Larry Drew's choice tonight is so stupid, it gives the Wizards a chance, and as long as he defends like he did in Game 1, the victory in this series will still belong to Atalanta!" Koslov wrote on his personal blog.

However, two days later, on the night of the 24th, the Wizards defeated the Hawks again 115-110 on the road, rewriting the big score to 3-1, and this round of the series came to match point!

A. Smith: "The referee tonight was so bad I can't imagine it was on the home court of the Hawks!" Still, I think the Eagles will become the 10th team in history to come back from 3-1 down in a series! ”

Koslov: "The victory must belong to Atlanta, trust me!" Trust me! ”

On April 26, the game returned to the Washington mcI Center again, in the face of the Hawks' dying counterattack, Li Kaiming stood up appropriately, and after a wave of offensive, directly extinguished the Eagles' hopes, and finally the Wizards defeated the Hawks 118-112 and advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals with a score of 4-1!

A Smith: "I said a long time ago, with Li Kaiming here, the Wizards will win this matchup, Li Kaiming is too powerful, in my place, he can rank in the top three in the league!" ”

As for Koslov, he has long carried forward the spirit of the turtle and began to play dead......
