In the Eagles' first attack, Liu Mang scored a three-pointer and scored the first goal.

When the Raptors attacked, Milicic distributed the ball from the high post, then went to the low post to receive the ball again and redistributed the ball to Richard Jefferson. Richard Jefferson received the ball and faced the Eagles' high-speed rotation.

Rondo's defensive three-pointer also scored!

The Raptors players also want to win today. Maybe Milicic's mentality is a little bad, but the score is not too far behind. Milicic will not give up on himself. He is still very confident in his own strength. Raptors

I didn’t train him for so many years in vain.

Liu Mang is still accumulating experience on how to make better use of the characteristic of "rejecting horses". The last time Liu Mang used the effect of the characteristic of "rejecting horses" to deal with some of Milicic's methods, this time the effect was not that good. Milicic

Qi's golf quotient is very high. He knows that Liu Mang has an ability to predict that is beyond ordinary people. He doesn't find it strange. No matter how strong Liu Mang's ability is, his opponents won't find it strange. But Milicic has Liu Mang's ability.

Make self-adjustments based on the ability to predict things that are different from ordinary people.

The technical and tactical battle is always changing. Liu Mang devised a defensive strategy for Milicic, and Milicic will respond next time.

Milicic connected with Richard Jefferson and played a beautiful response!

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang was stuck by Richard Jefferson as soon as he reached the frontcourt.

Liu Mang did not cut in immediately, and observed the opponent's defense. It was not as exaggerated as the Spurs', but Liu Mang judged that the Raptors' first defensive target was him!

There is no unrestricted flanking feeling, and the positioning is not like that, but Liu Mang can predict that when he enters the middle distance, he will be within the interference range of Milicic. The bouncing Milicic is far inferior to Kwame.

-Brown, but his mobility is not much different, and he has good footwork in assisting defense.

From the inside line, no matter which way it goes, there will be someone to defend it immediately.

The other party is fully prepared!

In this case...

Liu Mang came to a 45-degree angle on the left, carried Richard Jefferson on his left shoulder, and gestured towards Rondo.

Rondo, who advanced forward, immediately dribbled towards Liu Mang. When approaching a 45-degree angle on the left, he immediately passed the ball to Liu Mang and went up to help Liu Mang block Richard Jefferson.

After Liu Mang received the ball, he bypassed Rondo again. TJ Ford quickly switched to defend Liu Mang, and Richard Jefferson also squeezed in from the front to block the defense.

But... Liu Mang still threw it away as soon as there was a slight crack!

"Ding... The king of pull-up is triggered at level 5. The host's pull-up jumper will not be affected by insufficient force to take off..."

Without Tracy McGrady's height, he still dares to pull up and throw, and he relies on his skill as the King of Pull Ups!

TJ Ford's height can be used to guard against Rondo, but against Liu Mang, he has almost no interference effect, especially when Liu Mang is not close when switching defenses, Richard Jeffer jumps around Liu Mang and then takes off.

Sen also failed to substantially interfere with Liu Mang.

Liu Mang felt explosive, shot decisively, and hit another three-pointer!

Richard Jefferson just returned one to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang immediately returned it again!

When the Raptors attacked, TJ Ford passed the ball to Joe Johnson, who was leaning on McGrady to get the ball. McGrady defended Joe Johnson much more seriously than the first time, and was very focused, but Joe Johnson also

I have been preparing for a long time. I felt good today. I scored on my first shot. I hit Tracy McGrady in a high post and hit a turn-over jumper.

At 5-6, the Raptors also made two shots in the opening game.

When it came to the Hawks' offense, the Raptors worked very hard on the defensive end.

As for the Hawks, since the first two simple and rough playing methods were so effective, Rondo naturally chose to continue playing in the previous way.

But this time, as soon as Rondo moved toward Liu Mang, TJ Ford let go of him and attacked Liu Mang from a flank.

However, Rondo just used Liu Mang to attract the defense. Taking advantage of TJ Ford to attack Liu Mang in advance, Rondo turned around and broke through inside. After attracting Joe Johnson to cover the defense, he quickly distributed the ball to McGrady.

McGrady took the opportunity to cut inside, and after receiving the ball, he was blocked by Milicic. McGrady very smartly made a circle from the baseline, came out from the left side of the basket, and went behind Milicic, bullying the big center to turn slowly.

Forcing Richard Jefferson to move in to cover the defense, and going around the baseline gave Richard Jefferson a chance to help defend.

At this time, Sean Marion in the left corner came up to help Liu Mang block TJ Ford. Liu Mang cut to the left baseline. McGrady jumped up to attract Richard Jefferson. After taking off, he looked back like he was looking at the moon.

The pass was sent to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang reached the left baseline, caught the ball, and took advantage of the situation to pull up the baseline jumper...

Hit again!

Bargnani just watched from behind Liu Mang, watching Liu Mang shoot without even extending his hand.

McGrady predicted this and saw Liu Mang, TJ Ford, Rondo, Marion, Bargnani, and Richard Jefferson all crowded on the left side of the basket.

Considered.

Of course, the key lies in Liu Mang's ability to score!

Compared with Rondo's more selfless style of play, I don't know if McGrady can be called selfless. When he cuts in to receive the ball, he can directly attack the basket. Milicic's help defense under the basket can only create a small attack.

Due to the interference of probability, McGrady had already charged. Milicic had no choice but to foul McGrady except stretching out his arms to interfere with McGrady's shot route.

In this situation, McGrady has at least a 60% chance of scoring by himself under the basket, which is almost his normal layup shooting rate.

But after McGrady predicted that Liu Mang had a chance to score, he used a complicated play to help Liu Mang get the shooting opportunity.

At 8-5, the Eagles continued to maintain a three-point lead.

Judging from the results, the shot was successful, and the fans in Toronto didn't see anything wrong. It was a little complicated, but it went in, and it only took a few seconds.

However, being as smart as Rondo, he naturally saw McGrady's purpose, and when he returned to defense, he had confusion written on his face.

When McGrady returned to defense, he patted Rondo on the shoulder. The ball just now wiped out the assist that Rondo had a high probability of getting. He also survived it.

Rondo thought about the relationship between Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, and thought about the fact that Liu Mang had to score 127 points in three games to fulfill his previous ambition, and he quickly understood the reason.

That would be much simpler. Rondo immediately began to think about how to get the ball to Liu Mang in the next round, and try his best to create better shooting opportunities for Liu Mang, who would definitely be guarded.

Help Liu Mang get an open shot?

It's basically impossible. There was also Bargnani behind Liu Mang's baseline mid-range shot just now...

"Bargnani?" Rondo immediately had an idea.

To help his teammates score, if Rondo has enough time in a game, he can come up with 10,000 ways. Of course, his teammates must have the strength to make the shot. Some tactics require teammates who are stronger than ordinary players to successfully implement them.

If the teammates are a group of first- and second-year players with poor skills, but all of them have ambitions to become superstars, it will be very difficult to let Rondo, who will be at his peak in the future, lead them to the playoffs.

But his current teammates, except for him, the other four are all at least All-Star level players. Although McGrady has a small flaw that makes it difficult for him to reach the top in various skills, Marion and Kwame Brown are both All-Stars with relatively single functions.

, but their strengths are also obvious. They have one who is good at eating cakes and a threat to the basket, one who is good at running, and has a strong sense of autonomy to help teammates without the ball pick and roll, and there are two outside teammates with comprehensive skills...

If you don't consider the success rate and focus on helping one player score, Rondo's task will be much easier than helping the entire team score!

In the following time, Kwame Brown grabbed the board, Marion helped Liu Mang pick and roll, Rondo took charge, McGrady assisted with the pass, and Liu Mang shot alone. The Eagles' goal was very clear, and Liu Mang felt good from the outside today.

Score continuously.

Moreover, in order to distract the opponent's attention, Rondo would occasionally choose to feed Kwame Brown a piece of cake when other teammates had perfect scoring opportunities, and occasionally throw one to Marion, trying his best to maintain the offensive threat of his teammates and help

Liu Mang got a better chance to take action.

This is more efficient than Liu Mang doing it alone.

Liu Mang originally wanted to dominate the ball, but after scoring three consecutive goals with Rondo and Tracy McGrady, Liu Mang released the ball. Unexpectedly, instead of reducing the number of points scored, he actually increased the number of points scored.

efficiency!

It is true that since I am not holding the ball myself, the number of shots taken is not as high as when I was beating relatively weak opponents to gain points, but my efficiency has become much higher.

In the first quarter, Liu Mang made 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 21 points in the first quarter!

Rondo and McGrady were mainly dominated by Rondo. McGrady quickly understood that he could use the containment power of Marion and Kwame Brown, as well as McGrady's containment power, as well as Rondo's personal breakthrough threat, to help Liu Mang create as much as possible.

One-on-one shooting opportunities against Bargnani or TJ Ford.

TJ-Ford has enthusiasm, but no defensive ability. He is shorter than Rondo and does not have Rondo's defensive talent. Bargnani has height and good defensive conditions, but has no defensive motivation at all. Usually

The Raptors rely on three major stars to wipe their butts at these two positions. When Rondo used the team's offensive threat to help Liu Mang create an opportunity to catch and shoot against these two defensive players, he felt great today and used the pull-up.

The king and master of fast shooting, three skills that require specific conditions, speed, when shooting, try to reduce a lot of movement or the jump of direct shooting, the impact of shooting too fast, coupled with his 97 three-pointer in his right hand

Evaluation, and a layup evaluation of over 90 for both left and right hands, scoring 21 points in the first quarter!

But the Raptors did not give up because they kept up with the score!

Milicic's mid-range shooting and low-post play, coupled with his excellent passing ability; Richard Jefferson and TJ Ford's movement to attack the basket; Richard Jefferson and Bargnani

An open three-pointer; Joe Johnson scored efficiently in singles against McGrady, helping the Raptors fall behind by only two points after the first quarter when Liu Mang scored 21 points in a single quarter.

The Eagles entered the second quarter with a two-point lead, 29-27, in the first quarter.

The two teams just played for a whole quarter!

The head coaches of both teams couldn't control the players on the field, mainly because both teams played well!

They worked very hard on the defensive end. The Raptors really entered the state in today's game. They tried their best to make the Hawks except Liu Mang only shoot 3 of 9. Except for Marion, the cut-in caused Ba

Niani and Milicic each committed a foul and made 2 of 3 free throws. Others in the Eagles attacked the basket and were well defended.

The Eagles' defense was as good as it could be.

However, the Eagles are ahead. The biggest advantage is that Liu Mang can maintain a shooting percentage of over 50% and score 21 points even though he always has at least one defensive player in front of him!
