It’s different from what the coach said!

The cavalry are not fighting alone with two arrows. The focus is on the back, the two heavy artillery that follow up!

Payton discovered not only Rahim's empty cut, but also Muhammad who was following up and always ready to pick up the slack!

Nate McMillan is not a very talented head coach. Payton, a player who averages 10 assists per game, can read the opponent's tactics on both ends of the court better than him.

It's just that Payton is still a player now, unlike Luke Walton who was just a role player later. When Walton plays, he plays with a coach's mind. Payton can see the characteristics of the opponent's counterattack, but there is no way to play like him.

What does the head coach control the players to do like drawing tactics?

Gary Payton pushed forward again. Vin Baker's physical strength is still good now. He handed it over to Vin Baker very early. Because Vin Baker attracted the defense before, he raised the ball high and passed to Barry with wide vision, which shocked the Eagles from the outside.

, this time hesitating and not double-teaming, Vin Baker turned around to the Hawks basket and pushed Ratliff away for a layup without any pressure.

Ratliff's single defense can only be said to be above average. The main reason is that the assist defense covers a large area. It is really difficult to defend against such an unreasonable and unreasonable player.

After Liu Mang received the ball from Mohammed, he advanced and started a pick-and-roll.

In the pick-and-roll league, Liu Mang now has an ability value of 70 after triggering the bench gangster, and his self-confidence is stronger. The main reason is that after the strength bonus, the passing force is stronger and he can better grasp the feeling of passing the ball.

After Ratliff's pick-and-roll, Liu Mang broke into the paint. This time, Vin-Baker was afraid of the constant air cuts from the Eagles' three frontcourt players, so he stepped on the line of the reasonable collision zone and waited for Liu Mang to come in.

Liu Mang rushed into the paint and took the best steps of human crawling. Suddenly, Supersonic players attacked Liu Mang from a flank!

Depend on!

What are you doing with oil?

Originally, after Ratliff's pick-and-roll, Muhammad left the three-second zone to pick-and-roll with Jason Terry without the ball. Rahim ran back in order to open up the space under the basket, and Liu Mang picked-and-rolled.

When you come in, you have two options. One is when the opponent extends to defend, others cut in and Liu Mang passes in, the other is the opponent sticks to the basket, Liu Mang rushes in and uses his Jordan to be shocked.

Use weird steps to draw a foul or score directly. Even if it doesn't work, someone who follows up can tip the ball in.

But this time Radmanovic didn't follow him. Just now Payton indicated that he didn't need to worry about the air cut. Lewis could just defend Jason Terry for a three-pointer and let Radmanovic prepare to double-team.

If he is prepared, Liu Mang would also like to try one on two. Vin Baker and Radmanovic have an ability value of 75 and 72 respectively. They are both offensive players and their defense is not good. Liu Mang is on the court now.

The ability value is 70, and the defensive evaluation is also not very good. If you really have to prepare in advance, you can still just attack. However, this unexpected double defense still came over, and Liu Mang was a little panicked.

Liu Mang quickly passed the ball to Muhammad, who had just finished the pick-and-roll in the mid-range. Muhammad had not yet entered the three-second zone, and he didn't know what to do with the ball in this place.

When Muhammad saw Liu Mang trying to get rid of the two people's attack and running from the inside to the bottom corner, he suddenly had an idea and slammed the ball to the ground, attacking the inside in a savage way!

Radmanovic and Payton were about to chase Liu Mang when they saw Muhammad rushing into the inside and quickly stepped forward to block it.

With Muhammad's muscular body and his explosiveness when grabbing rebounds, there is no way he can stop Vin Baker, who is done when he comes out from under the basket.

When the thick man was doing needlework, Muhammad rushed into the three-second zone, picked up the ball and threw it towards the bottom corner. Liu Mang was surprised that the ball was passed at this time.

But the rhythm is very exciting! As soon as he reached the position, he turned around and received the ball. Liu Mang took advantage of the situation and shot a three-pointer!

This perfect rhythm, the marksman triggers!

The ball slid through a very straight and perfect arc and fell into the basket!

Two points difference!

At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics relied on Payton's excellent inside play and Vin Baker's ability to overpower the inside when he was physically fit.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang activated his teammates as soon as he came up. The Eagles had a third ball-holding point, and the offensive system was activated. They kept picking and rolling, reverse runs, and air cuts. Even the rough guy like Muhammad occasionally made some mistakes.

With some support, the Eagles clung to the point difference and finished the first quarter! After catching up from a 7-point deficit to only two points behind, the Eagles firmly sealed the point difference!

Even though they managed to hold on to the point difference, several young players on the Eagles were still a little frustrated.

Even though they all fought so well, the opponent still maintained a slight advantage.

On the bench, the Eagles head coach and players were in a panic.

In addition to counterattacks, the Eagles always stayed in position and suppressed the opponent's rhythm. They played very well, but when the rhythm was slow, Vin Baker was too incomprehensible.

twice.

"That fat guy is so good in singles, coach, let's outrun him!" Liu Mang couldn't help but say.

"I think we are going to be beaten to death because the opponent has three sharpshooters." Jason Terry choked back after Liu Mang choked on his words.

The dwarf is really annoying!

Allen Iverson who gets angry when he disagrees, Tim Hardaway who can break someone's legs, and this arrogant dwarf!

But what Jason Terry said is correct. He had already confirmed this when studying tactics before the game. You can’t blindly compete with the SuperSonics. Generally, a team has a three-point shooting rate of 40%.

Pitchers, thank God. These days, they can be called great pitchers. Just like Liu Mang, his three-pointers are the most valued by opponents.

The SuperSonics actually have three three-point shooters with a three-point shooting percentage of over 40%, which is simply a scammer!

Fortunately, Payton is old and his appearance has declined significantly compared to before he was 30 years old. At the same time, his outside shooting has never been good, his running ability has also declined, and his offensive rebounding ability is average. Otherwise, this team would be

A turn-of-the-century version of the Space Warriors.

But although the rebounds of the three frontcourt players of the Sonics can only be considered average, the three of them combined still average 20 rebounds per game, which is not that easy to deal with. Ratliff will have to stay on the court for a long time, otherwise the three Sonics

With a frontcourt player who is over 2.06 meters tall on the court, the Eagles are really unable to take advantage of the rebounding advantage they are so proud of!

As for the Hawks, who have Liu Mang and Jason Terry on the court and play like this, without the guarantee of rebounds, their power will definitely drop significantly. The two of them dare to be so arrogant because of their frontline ranking first in the league with an average of 28 rebounds per game.

Field combination.

Liu Mang’s wave-playing style was completely modeled after a certain guy who would have three highs in the future and had worn two jerseys in Milan for a few years. Jason Terry was not so fast at first, and was completely led by Liu Mang.

broken.

but……

Coach Kruger is still interested in Liu Mang's suggestion, should he run?

Coach Krieger pulled out the scouting report.

Vin Baker averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds per game, Radmanovic averaged 12 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, and Lewis averaged 6.3 rebounds per game. The two SuperSonics players and the first substitute in the frontcourt have good rebounding abilities.

The rebound protection is really good when they play together.

But apart from these three people, no one in the Sonics averages more than 5 rebounds per game! Apart from these three people, the best rebounder in the SuperSonics is Payton's 4.8 rebounds per game. The next one is not the inside, but Barry's.

Average 4.6 boards.

Draymond Mason is fake, averaging 8 points and 3.3 rebounds per game.

The SuperSonics are fat inside, but they have a fat style of play. Vin Baker averages 32 minutes per game by grinding out positions. He is much smarter than Kemp, who is also fat. In his early years, Kemp played too hard and played most of the games.

I didn't have the brains at that time, and now I'm fat and can't change.

But Vin Baker can still cause huge trouble to his opponents.

Do you have to think about overtaking the score at all times?

Not necessarily! We have just finished the first quarter, and there are still three quarters left!

Coach Kruger started to make plans. The break was about to end, and he started to make arrangements: "Dean, Emmanuel, Demar, Chris, Theo, you go up and slow down the rhythm. Just defend.

The attack ran out of time, Ace, Jason, Sharif, Ira, and Nazr, you guys need to rest first."
