"Dick, you know who I think of when I see Stromire now?" Hubie Brown, the commentator of SBC TV and the former best coach of the Grizzlies, asked his partner Dick Stockton.

"Who?" Stockton was curious as to what new views the old coach had on his former disciple.

"Amar'e Stoudemire! Oh my god, I never thought Stromire could perform like this. If he had performed like this, we wouldn't have failed to win a playoff game.

Already..."

Hubie Brown's evaluation of Swift's two offensive performances was beyond the expectations of fans watching this game!

Hubie Brown is a legendary coach. Although he only coached for 13 seasons, 11 seasons to be precise. He retired after only 10 games due to illness in two seasons, but he won the best coach twice.

, making Jackson, Popovich, Sloan...and other head coaches envious and jealous.

Almost every time he comes out, he can make the team's young core grow rapidly, such as the Hawks' legend John Drew, the Knicks' legend Patrick Ewing, and the current Lakers' core power forward Pau Gasso.

you.

Hubie Brown's evaluation is very authoritative. He actually gave Swift's performance such a high evaluation!

Mainly because Hubie Brown led Swift, perhaps because he was limited by the team's point guard Jason Williams' passing too much. Swift spent more than a year coaching the Grizzlies under Hubie Brown.

He behaved like a fool. He couldn't catch the ball and ran in the opposite direction...

But in the first game of the Eagles, Liu Mang and Grant Hill made good use of Swift's obedient and top-notch physical fitness that he could become the second place without any skills, making Swift look like

As exciting as Stoudemire.

"Dick, no matter whether the Eagles can win the championship this year or not, they have been very successful this season. I think there will be countless veterans who want to join them in the summer, and those rookies, very talented rookies, will also want to go to the Eagles.

” Hubie Brown boldly predicted.

"Why?" There are also admirers in foreign countries, and Stockton is specially assigned to praise Hubie Brown, who is very popular.

"Can't you see it? Josh Smith, Andre Iguodala, and Rajon Rondo and Danny Granger, who are being targeted by other teams, their talents are there.

The Eagles were not wasted, but instead developed a winning culture. The Eagles will also send them to the right team after taking advantage of their rookie contracts. Grant Hill came to the Eagles and found the right position for him.

, Strohmeyer can play so well..."

Listening to Hubie Brown's analysis, the fans in front of the TV discovered that the Eagles have developed good player mobility!

It seems that all this... seems to be because of that Chinese player-Ace Liu!

Just when Hubie Brown was thinking about the future of the Hawks in a state of trepidation, the game between the Hawks and the Lakers became anxious.

Although the Eagles did not gain the upper hand with that 5-0 wave, the Lakers quickly regained the initiative after replacing Wang Zhizhi with Odom, but the Eagles were not as passive as they were in the first quarter!

Stabilized the situation!

The Eagles had a clear goal. Liu Mang's tactical arrangement was to not fall into the position and enter the "sky chasm" under Yao Ming's basket. Liu Mang told his teammates to try to throw the ball before Yao Ming could return to defense. It didn't matter if it didn't go in.

Consume the other party as much as possible.

If it is a critical ball at the last moment, Liu Mang must ensure that the success rate is the first priority. However, this is only the second quarter. He should waste as much time as possible and try his best to speed up. The Lakers' ability to control the rhythm is not as good as the Spurs and Jazz. This is Liu Mang.

places that can be utilized.

When Liu Mang consciously speeded up the tempo, although Yao Ming consciously returned to defense in advance and did not fight for offensive rebounds, his teammates would return to defense early when they shot, so as to ensure efficiency as much as possible when he got the ball, but his speed was indeed too slow.

Except for Big Z of the Bulls and Foster of the Pacers, it is difficult to find a player slower than Yao Ming in the league.

Although they still couldn't guard against the Lakers' offense led by Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant, at least the Eagles didn't have their offense blocked in the first half like the last time they played against each other. They managed to hold on!

When the official timeout came in the second quarter and Yao Ming was replaced, the Eagles were only two points behind, 47-49!

After Yao Ming left, the Lakers replaced the three-high combination of Gasol, Odom, and Wang Zhizhi. Kobe continued to play and partnered with Fisher on the back line.

The Hawks let Kwame Brown, who had rested for half a quarter, come back to deal with Gasol. Marion continued to be on the court, and Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Battier partnered on the outside.

Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill took turns guarding Kobe, so there was no physical problem.

And the key is that Kwame Brown got a chance to rest!

Originally, he was ready to play the entire game, but the inside combination of Swift and Marion relied on counterattacks to hold up Yao Ming's playing time, giving Kwame Brown a chance to rest!

In the second half of the second quarter, the lineups of the two teams were close, but the Eagles had the upper hand!

Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Battier actually need to add Marion, who is excellent in assisting defense. The outside defense of the four is too strong. Without Yao Ming's absolute advantage inside, Liu Mang and Marion don't have to help defend the interior.

With Kwame Brown back from a break inside, the Eagles had the upper hand in the second half of the second quarter!

16 to 10, the Eagles launched a 16 to 10 offensive in more than five minutes!

63 to 59, the Eagles went into halftime with a 4-point lead!

The most eye-catching thing about this quarter was Swift's 11-point performance in the first half of the quarter.

The Lakers actually took into account the Hawks' speed-up counterattack style, and did a good job of restricting Liu Mang and Marion, but they didn't expect that Swift actually played so well when Kwame Brown and Tracy McGrady were resting.

His performance was so overwhelming that he scored 11 points in 6 minutes and 22 seconds, which disrupted the Lakers' expectation of using Yao Ming to have half a quarter of each quarter when he was physically fit enough to widen the point difference. Moreover, he also

Let McGrady and Kwame Brown rest for half a quarter, giving the Eagles a chance to take the lead!

Rondo didn't play well, but the Hawks also had Battier, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Battier, Marion, and Kwame Brown, and their defense was so good! Even the Lakers were defended at one point.

Got it!

The Eagles scored a 34-26 run in the second quarter!

For the Eagles, this is obviously a huge confidence boost!

The Eagles players were excited to return to the locker room.

Liu Mang remained calm: "It's only halftime, and it's only 4 points ahead. It's almost like there's no advantage. That unkind guy from Dayao must be trying to get me. He only played 12 minutes in the first half."

, full of energy in the second half..."

Liu Mang analyzed it and discovered a problem!

"Third quarter! They may cause trouble in the third quarter!"

Liu Mang saw the half-time statistics. Yao Ming had 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 assists. Kobe had 14 points in the half, Gasol had 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists. Odom had 7 rebounds and 2 assists...

Liu Mang discovered that except for Yao Ming who went all out on the court, no one else on the Lakers team really tried their best!

It's very possible that they want to take the game away in the third quarter!

This is a consistent trick of the Lakers!

You have to hold on in the third quarter!
Chapter completed!
