545.Death(1/4)
The goal has not been achieved yet, comrades still need to work hard!
The special card that I spent 30,000 superstar points to draw yesterday - "Death" is still unusable.
Watching Kidd dribbling the ball steadily, Liu Mang took a deep breath. This guy was really calm today. He failed to irritate the opponent. Liu Mang tried to prevent the Nets from attacking the basket.
But Kidd obviously had a very good touch today. Once again, he took advantage of Kenyon Martin's continuous pick-and-roll, first broke out to the left, and then changed direction and broke through from the right to the mid-range at a 45-degree angle. This sense of rhythm and space was also amazing.
The hand came up with a pull-up jumper.
Kidd made an emergency stop and hit the mid-range shot again. Kidd's touch was very good today, and the ball landed firmly in the Hawks' basket.
Kidd is such a veteran! He is so experienced! Seeing that he has been shooting accurately these days, he took advantage of this and beat him to death.
When it came to the Hawks' offense again, unlike Kidd's own scoring, Liu Mang chose to continue making choices based on the Nets' defensive flaws.
It was still the start of the triangle attack. Liu Mang gave the ball to Ratliff who was outside the free throw line, and then cut inside. When the Nets' defense was focused on switching defenses in the middle, Liu Mang suddenly changed to the left corner.
Xiang rushed over. Ratliff saw this change and quickly threw the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang gave Ratliff a thumbs up in his heart and retreated to the corner. Kittles, who was also on the left side of the basket, immediately came over to defend Liu Mang. Liu Mang threw the ball to Prince at a 45-degree angle and was missed.
Here, Prince received the ball and shot an open three-pointer...
"哐"
The sound of wind and rain can be heard. Prince is really solid this time in the Eastern Conference Finals. Boozer also performed poorly. It may be the first time he has played in such an intense playoffs, and he played the first two rounds easily.
After the series, this time I encountered the Nets' dominant strength in the Eastern Conference, and their performance was very sluggish.
Fortunately, Ratliff passed the ball to Liu Mang and rushed inside to grab a rebound. Prince's ball just bounced towards him. Ratliff dunked and scored two points.
8 to 11, the Eagles are still three points behind.
Relying on the advantage of rebounding and the triangle offense to open up the space, the Hawks' frontcourt trio had enough space to hit the basket. For a long time, the two teams played very anxiously. You made me make mistakes, and you made up for them.
I was dunked into the mid-range shot, and both teams were racking their brains to compete with each other on both offense and defense.
The first quarter reached the official timeout. The two teams may have made a few more mistakes, but there were very few fouls. After seven minutes of play, the Eagles trailed by two points, 15-17.
The Nets took a two-point lead with the only three-pointer in the first half of the quarter.
The predictions made by the expert media before the game came true. Both teams guarded against the opponent's accurate three-pointers. For example, after Prince was seized the opportunity to hit a three-pointer by Kittles at the beginning, Prince did not.
When he was one meter away from Kittles, even if Kidd was on the same side as him and was less than two meters away from the mid-range shot, he would not give Kidd a chance to pass the ball to Kittles.
Liu Mang was single-handedly defended by Kidd and had no chance to make a three-point shot. Occasionally, Richard Jefferson would switch to the defense. Richard Jefferson was so tall and capable of jumping. Most of Liu Mang's choices were to break through or try to create.
foul.
And even if Prince doesn't guard, he has been unable to hit three-pointers since the first game. Kidd has no chance to shoot unless he picks and rolls to mid-range. His mid-range is his strength in pick-and-rolls, and his three-pointers are still at the level of open shots.
It's just that the fans were very surprised, whether they were on the scene or in front of the TV. The two teams started to compete tactically, and they deliberately did not let the game enter a defensive battle where both sides would lose control. This is understandable. Before the game, people were worried.
It was already expected, but the playing styles of the two teams are very different!
The Eagles, who are good at individual offense and supplemented by team offense, have been playing tactics from the beginning today. Liu Mang accurately understood every loophole in the Nets' defense and created opportunities for his teammates. By being on par with Kidd, Liu Mang
The passing accuracy was evenly matched, and the team played beautifully.
As for the Nets, Kidd started shooting and scored 10 points in the first half!
The most surprising thing is Ratliff's offensive performance today. It seems that the Eagles are determined to hit this point. Ratliff also scored 10 points in the half quarter!
Especially the first few goals, the Hawks' first three sports goals were all made by Ratliff, a dunk, a small hook, and a tip-in.
This game has a sense of déjà vu, as if the two teams have switched sides.
During the official timeout, the two teams made personnel rotations. The Eagles replaced Prince, who performed really poorly, and also replaced Ratliff, who played most of the quarter, and replaced him with Barnes and
Jason Terry.
As both rookies, Barnes' performance in the regular season and the first two rounds of the playoffs was far inferior to that of Prince and Boozer, but in this head-to-head series, Barnes's no-nonsense temperament is hard to beat.
Kidd, who is not afraid of Kenyon Martin, is the most outstanding performer among the three rookies.
In terms of skills, Barnes can't compare with Prince, let alone with Boozer. But in this kind of playoff matchup, Barnes is the first to adapt, because he doesn't need to think about offense, only Boozer.
Just need to defend.
Mainly because of his character, Barnes is not a coward!
You can't score goals anyway. In this case, it's better to have a tough guy who dares to fight and fight hard to stay on the court.
The Nets also replaced their center and shooting guard, replacing them with Rodney Rogers and Aaron Williams.
Both teams invariably changed their mini lineups, and neither team continued to field a seven-foot center.
…
After being killed by Kidd in the last game, the Hawks learned a lesson today. As long as Kidd still shoots explosively today, whether they can guard against Kidd or not, the Eagles will not consider it for now. Anyway, they will fight whatever makes him uncomfortable.
!
Liu Mang must not be allowed to do this kind of thing. It would be very painful if he was punished. Therefore, it is the best choice to let Barnes do it. He has a tough temper and a ruffian temperament. The key is to have good physical fitness.
, Mike Woodson only gave him one task, which was to beat Kidd to death.
After playing so many games in the Eastern Conference Finals, Barnes has begun to understand what role he plays in the NBA, which is to be a villain!
You don’t have to be Bowen or the Bad Boys to be called a villain. To be a villain, you don’t have to hurt your opponent, but you must be vicious! You must make your opponent unhappy and become the person they hate the most. This is what he does in the NBA.
The way to survive!
If you don't have any talent in offense, then you have to rely on defense. If you have little experience in defense now, then you have to rely on momentum and irritating your opponents to show the value of your existence!
Barnes is worthy of being the homeless man who will hang out in the NBA for many years and make all the outside stars in the league hate him because he will never get a big contract. He quickly made his position clear.
The 23-year-old Barnes is the most mature physically among the Hawks' three rookies this year, and he has not yet gained weight to play power forward. Now he is the fastest, most able to run and jump, and has the strongest impact.
Barnes and his agent already understand what his development path is.
After the timeout, the Nets attack, Kidd advances, and sees the Hawks changing players to guard him!
He is another young player from the Eagles who makes him very popular!
Barnes put a fierce and stinky face on Kidd's body. He was careful not to jump or get fouled. Barnes was touching Kidd with his hands and mouth.
"Wow, domestic violence man, did you get beaten by your wife before coming to play today? I heard that every time you don't get beaten by your wife before playing, you will not perform well. You even asked your wife to go to Atlanta for the game the day before yesterday.
I beat you..."
Kidd almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Every one of these Hawks players was so abominable, and when he caught this, he sprayed them in different ways. Not to mention, he sprayed them in different ways every time!
So angry, so angry! But Kidd suppressed his anger and tried to force Barnes.
Barnes was not good at anything else, but at the age of 23 or 24, he was the fastest and strongest, pressing directly towards Kidd. Due to his height advantage of nearly 10 centimeters, his physical fitness other than pure strength was also poor.
Better than Kidd, as long as he doesn't jump and doesn't get fouled by Kidd, Kidd is not afraid of pulling up and shooting.
Kidd obviously doesn't have that kind of scoring ability. His ability to make a pick-and-roll shot would make people's jaws drop.
Similarly, breakthroughs are not Kidd's strong point. Kidd's breakthroughs are all about bullying people who are not as strong as him, relying on changes in rhythm to gain a little breakthrough space and then rush in.
As for Barnes, who was not stingy, he didn't care about Kidd's fake moves and pushed Kidd outwards. Kidd changed direction twice and took a step back...
Can't stand it!
Seeing that there were only eight seconds left on the clock, Kidd quickly passed the ball to Rodney Rogers.
As soon as the ball was passed, Kidd secretly yelled that it was bad. Rodney Rogers was pressed tightly by Liu Mang. When the ball was passed, Liu Mang directly bypassed him! Rodney Rogers worked hard and flexibly.
In terms of sex and speed, they are completely inferior to Liu Mang!
After an outstanding performance in the second half of the regular season, the 32-year-old Rodney Rogers performed very well in the playoffs this year. He averaged the highest points per game for the Nets besides Kidd and Kenyon Martin.
, averaging 16 points per game, second only to Jason Kidd, who averaged 22 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists per game in this year's playoffs, and Kenyon Martin, who averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds, and performed better than Kittles and Richard Jeffer.
Sendu is good.
But Rodney Rogers relies on his outstanding skills that have reached the peak of his career and Kidd's passing and trust. His physical fitness has declined early and I don't know how serious it is. When Liu Mang sticks to him so closely,
Kidd passed the ball over, and Liu Mang went straight forward to catch the ball in his arms! It looked like Kidd passed the ball to Liu Mang!
Liu Mang was about to counterattack, but a veteran is a veteran and reacted very quickly. Rodney Rogers hugged Liu Mang and committed a tactical foul to prevent Liu Mang from counterattacking.
Kidd indicated that the ball belonged to him. Kidd had made this mistake several times since the last game.
Liu Mang was a little regretful that he couldn't counterattack and easily score points.
However, falling into a positional battle is not bad, as it can continue to stimulate Kidd.
The Hawks sideline ball is a sideline ball in the half court on the side of the Hawks basket. At this position, the Nets do not have a group of people coming to defend the ball and avoid being directly hit by the Eagles on a fast break pass.
Liu Mang received the serve and pushed forward, but Kidd was still guarding him.
Liu Mang is now the biggest headache for many teams when they face the Eagles. His absolute strength may not be as good as Raheem, but compared to Jason Terry, Liu Mang is more difficult to guard against, and Jason Terry is difficult to guard against.
The reason is that he will rush from time to time and make consecutive shots, similar to Kobe's feeling of ignoring defense.
Liu Mang, on the other hand, has all kinds of unexpected attacks, and he is the kind who seems to be able to learn new offensive skills every two months. He has a new offensive method every time, which gives the teams that play against the Eagles a headache.
.
Jason Terry was still waiting for Liu Mang's offensive instructions. Originally, the Eagles' offensive strategy was to defend Kidd, and the other of them held the ball, but Jason Terry saw that Liu Mang didn't seem to pass the ball.
To be continued...
