The entire basketball world is shocked that the Nets formed the "Big Three", but life goes on as usual, and the Hawks' season continues.

The Hawks ushered in the first home game of back-to-back games against the Bucks.

This year, the Bucks have become an opponent that the top four in the Eastern Conference don't want to face in the first round, mainly because of the two players Reid and TJ Ford. In addition to the Pistons who have Hamilton, the Hawks have Liu Mang, and the other two players in the top four in the Eastern Conference.

The team is all afraid of TJ Ford.

In this game, Stockton was mentioned in the position, partnering with Prince, Raheem, Boozer, and Ratliff.

The Bucks are doing very well this year. After Reid became the absolute core, he led the Bucks to play better and better. They have returned to the top eight in the Eastern Conference, surpassing the record of the Hornets.

The lineup sent by the Bucks was TJ Ford, whose girlfriend was often dissatisfied, Reed, Desmond Mason, Van Horn, and last summer's most tragic No. 1 pick, Joe Smith.

At the beginning of the game, Stockton suffered a tragedy on the defensive end. He was passed by TJ Ford in succession. TJ Ford's speed was nothing to say, and his coordination ability was not very good. He relied on his own threat to break through and score the ball. As a rookie,

He averaged almost 7 assists per game. This time he faced the historical assist leader Stockton and played very coquettishly, continuously breaking through and passing the ball to create opportunities for his teammates.

Reed fully demonstrated his ability to catch and shoot. When T.J. Ford disrupted the defense and Raheem was forced to cover, he and Desmond Mason broke away from Prince in an off-ball pick-and-roll.

The defensive catch and jump shot are solid.

Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace are not here today, the defensive combination with the fastest defense against opponents on the outside is gone, and the best defensive player on the inside is gone. The Eagles' defense has a big problem at this stage.

TJ Ford's speed cannot be defended by one person. Almost all teams can only use team defense to prevent him from scoring. This allows TJ Ford to rely on breakthroughs to score points despite his average organizational skills.

Each has nearly 7 assists. Not to mention the aging Stockton, even when he was young, he may not be able to guard against this player who may be the fastest player in the league.

However, although Stockton failed to guard TJ Ford, he responded on the offensive end.

Liu Mang has been unable to play in the last two games. Of course, he has to take on more important tasks. The cooperation with Boozer seems to be a reappearance of the two evils. Boozer showed a strong desire to attack at the beginning. After the pick-and-roll, he continued

Cutting in, he squeezed Joe Smith away from the basket and scored consecutive easy goals, forcing the Bucks to double-attack him. However, no one dared to miss Stockton's mid-range shot. Although Stockton only had one game this season.

He averaged 5 points and 4 assists, but his shooting percentage was horribly high, with a shooting percentage of 50, 44, and 91 easily.

Boozer's offensive strength is not much different from when Rasheed Wallace was in the Western Conference. It's just that the team needs defenders. He doesn't complain about his role and is willing to work with Stockton.

He supports the second team, but he is definitely one of the best power forwards in the Eastern Conference!

The Hawks also relied on Boozer's continuous cuts to the basket to attract double attacks. Raheem and Prince got a lot of easy shooting opportunities. The Hawks and Bucks played evenly at the beginning.

The Bucks' new-generation backcourt and the Hawks' old-young combination are going back and forth.

It's hard work for the stars these days. They had a rough match with Stockton and Boozer at one stage, and when the rotation time came to an official timeout in the first quarter, Reid had to come up and compete with Jason Terry.

It has to be said that Jason Terry's height problem limits his talent at the shooting guard position. Reid, who entered the NBA a year later than Jason Terry, is already better than Jason Terry.

However, Jason Terry doesn't have to think too much like Reid every time he comes off the bench, he just needs to score!

From the second half of the first quarter to the middle of the second quarter, the Eagles suppressed the Bucks led by Reid after Jason Terry came up. Jason Terry had Raheem in the rotation.

The inside combination of Boozer and Kwame Brown had a huge rebounding advantage. They dared to throw and score. In the middle of the second quarter, Jason Terry helped the Eagles gain a 7-point lead. The Eagles

Leading 47 to 40.

After both sides changed their lineups, the two teams fell into a stalemate again. Stockton rested and came back to lead the team's offense with Boozer, and the back line composed of TJ Ford and Reid led several players including COSCO.

The Bucks continued their tug-of-war with their teammates.

After halftime, the Eagles still maintained a 5-point lead at 61-56.

The key turning point of the game came in the third quarter. After the intermission, the game continued in the third quarter.

The Eagles once again sent out the combination of Stockton and Boozer, paired with Jason Terry, Prince, and Ratliff to guard the basket, trying to rely on the position to attack in the third quarter.

Open up the score.

But at this time, the Bucks' head coach made specific changes. Former Trail Blazers All-Star guard and current Bucks head coach Terry Porter allowed the lineup to play the entire quarter in the third quarter, and kept trying to speed up.

Consume Stockton and Ratliff.

If Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace were here, not many teams in the league would dare to speed up when facing the Hawks.

But today Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace are not here, and the Bucks' move worked. Stockton can now maintain his form for 20 minutes a game, and this is when the rhythm on the court is controlled by the Hawks.

The only way to attack is to play slow-tempo positional warfare. He had already played 13 minutes in the first half, but the Bucks forced him to slow down the pace in the second half. TJ Ford and Reid were two small guards who ran fast. Lianders

Mond Mason is extremely fast, and he is a super dunker with excellent physical fitness.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Stockton was soon too tired to run, and coach Kruger had to replace him, and Ratliff was playing like this

Fa Zhong also couldn't hold on and was replaced.

Then they had to replace Willie Green and Jason Terry to partner in the backcourt, and Prince, Raheem, and Kwame Brown to partner in the inside.

The backcourt combination of Willie Green and Jason Terry is really a mess. It mainly started with Willie Green. As a "point guard", his assist numbers are outrageous.

The Eagles have also played in 30 games, with a total of 15 assists...

Willie Green came up and took the ball, and then the Eagles' offense became Willie Green, Jason Terry, and Raheem, one for you and one for me.

Jason Terry is the wildest gun, Raheem is the most stable gun, and Willie Green, as a rookie, confidence is a good thing, but he doesn't have that ability.

In this trio, Jason Terry plays the role of Liu Mang. Although it is weakened a bit, it is still enough. Rahim is still the one who only needs to focus on the offensive end to make every move in every game.

He can score five or six points steadily every quarter of the game, but his characteristic is stability and rarely has explosive performances, especially now that he has become more defensive.

There is no problem with either of these points. The biggest problem is that Willie Green, playing Jason Terry's position, became a part of the Hawks' collapse.

It can be said that Jason Terry broke out in this game. He played for 37 minutes and scored 41 points on 16 of 33 shots. However, in the second half of the fourth quarter, he couldn't shoot anymore. He didn't even know Liu Mang.

How on earth do you throw more than 40 times in one game?

On Rahim's side, after losing weight, it was more difficult to attack the inside. He also scored 20 points and 14 rebounds by relying on air cuts and mid-range singles, but it was not able to determine the outcome. Boozer also scored 20 10

, but apart from these three people, no one on the Eagles scored in double figures.

Six Bucks players scored in double figures. TJ Ford relied on his youth and energy to score 17 points and 15 assists in the match against Stockton. Reid also thrived in the absence of Liu Mang. Likewise,

He scored 40 points and made 17 of 28 shots from the field. No one could guard him. Prince was good at one-on-one defense. He really couldn't guard his catch-and-shoot without the ball pick-and-roll.

In the end, the Hawks were reversed in the last quarter by the Bucks, led by Reid and TJ Ford, who was probably faster than Iverson. The Hawks lost to the Bucks 103 to 110, ending their six-game winning streak.

…

For the Eagles, the most difficult thing after the brawl was not that core player Liu Mang was suspended, but that the two games were suspended back to back.

If the Bucks relied on team basketball led by Reid and TJ Ford to defeat the Hawks, then in the next game against the Magic, they would face a true superstar.

Although the Magic have a bad record, with Tracy McGrady around, they will always be an opponent that cannot be ignored. After Rivers was fired, the Magic's record is still very difficult, with only 6 wins and 28 losses so far, but at least they are starting to win.

Although the recent record of 6 wins and 9 losses is bad, at least it has the strength to fight.

Maybe McGrady has no motivation to play against other teams in this situation. He is not a particularly motivated person to begin with, but McGrady is very motivated every time he plays against the Hawks!

After less than 24 hours of rest time after the Hawks and Bucks fought hard to the last minute, they immediately faced back-to-back home games against the Magic.

Stockton was very tired yesterday and could only rest today. It was too difficult to defend against TJ Ford.

Therefore, the Eagles could only put Jason Terry in position.

Maybe he was used to playing as a substitute, so it was difficult to adapt to McGrady's defense when he came up directly. He was beaten to death by McGrady's defense. But McGrady's side played against the Hawks today and completely exploded, scoring 11 points in the first quarter.

3 rebounds and 4 assists, revitalizing the Magic team.

As for the Hawks, Jason Terry was guarded by Tracy McGrady. Although Raheem scored 10 points in a single quarter, he only made 3 of 9. He was completely fighting against Juwan Howard with his body.

Section 10 minutes.

Liu Mang is suspended, Stockton can't play, Calderon is too bad, Willie Green shot 4 of 14 yesterday, which means there is no usable point guard, Jason Terry is really bad at organizing offense, and he can't pick and roll.

Not very good at hitting, Boozer can only hit the low post and draw fouls like Raheem.

The Hawks were defeated by the Magic 27-17 in the first quarter, trailing by 10 points in the single quarter.

After that, McGrady started a performance of scoring and assists. He scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists in the first three quarters, leading the Magic to a 14-point lead over the Hawks in the third quarter. The Magic led by a score of 83 to 69.

In the fourth quarter, Jason Terry and Raheem still wanted to try to make a comeback, but the rampaging McGrady seemed to want to use scoring to face the Eagles again two days later.

Stimulating Liu Mang, he scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in the fourth quarter, widening the point difference to 22 points in one fell swoop. The Magic led the Hawks 100 to 78.

After McGrady played the first three quarters, he continued to go on a rampage in the fourth quarter, already scoring a massive triple-double of 35 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists.

The Eagles had absolutely no choice. Liu Mang, Stockton, and Rasheed Wallace, the three passing masters, were all gone. They were defeated by the rampant McGrady. Coach Kruger could only replace the main force and announced his surrender.

.

This is a first for the Eagles this season!

In the end, the Hawks were slaughtered by the Magic 92-115.

After two consecutive losses, the record dropped to 27 wins and 7 losses.

Liu Mang could only watch the game at home for two consecutive days. He also saw the efforts of his teammates, but it is true that this lineup was built for him. Without him, it was okay to have Stockton in the first game, but when it came to playing the Magic

By that time, it had completely become a piece of loose sand.

Seeing that after the game, his players could only return to the locker room with livid faces, Liu Mang felt very uncomfortable. It was all his own fault!

Maddie...

Liu Mang watched Time Warner's live TV broadcast in Georgia and Florida. After McGrady scored a big triple-double to lead the Magic to an upset victory over his own team, he was invited to participate in a post-game news interview.

McGrady has a rare high fighting spirit this season. In an interview, he said: "I just took a look and it seems that my scoring average has returned to 29.3 points per game. Like Ace, Ace is about to come back in the next game.

We will continue to play against the Eagles in the next game, and I really want to see who is stronger, me or Ace, so let’s treat this game as welcoming Ace’s comeback!”
