Still an old man who has seen a lot of the world, Hill sent the ball to Nelson, and then took the initiative to get the ball from the backcourt to control the rhythm and prevent the team from being forced to speed up by Liu Mang's strange three-pointer.

That unexpected style of play is so easy that people can't help but want to fight back.

In other words, it’s too shabby!

After Hill advanced to the frontcourt, he still sat down and played from the outside. Liu Mang double-teamed him again. Hill immediately passed the ball to Nelson. Nelson did not force the shot and rushed toward the basket from the right side to avoid Liu Mang.

In the back of the defense, McGrady came up to make up the defense, and Nelson passed to Christie in the right corner.

Christie didn't shoot after receiving the ball. He immediately cut inside after receiving the ball. Even though Christie is 35 years old, he still has to be defended when he reaches the basket with his height of 1.98 meters as a shooting guard. Rasheed Wallace stands

Going to the right side of the three-second zone to help defend, McGrady also took back the baseline.

At this time, Christie's passing ability came to light, and he threw it towards the free throw line. Rahim quietly retreated one step inside the free throw line to catch the ball!

Liu Mang immediately made up for it. Rahim caught the ball and faced Liu Mang's defense and made a jump shot from close range!

In his last year with the Eagles, he played a blue-collar role of catching and shooting. What Rahim gained the most, in addition to the championship, was his more stable catching and shooting ability!

Rahim also hit a close jump shot! He scored four points in a row in the opening game!

The game entered a stalemate stage from the beginning!

The Hawks tried to speed up, but the Magic insisted on playing a slow-paced tactical combination.

Rahim knows the Eagles very well. Although the current new version of cavalry tactics is very different from the previous cavalry tactics, the concept is the same. Rahim has played cavalry tactics for the Eagles for three years, and he is very good at handling the Eagles.

Rahim knows very well how scary it is when the rhythm is brought up, especially now that the Eagles mainly play a new version of cavalry tactics, which makes Rahim very afraid, so he and Hill have already discussed it, and they must control the rhythm.

And Hill is an all-around point forward from the older generation who can control the rhythm very well.

Post-playing is one of the best ways to control the rhythm and organize an offense!

The two teams were locked in a stalemate for more than four minutes. The Magic team has been using the strategy of creating opportunities from the outside and then attacking inside, maintaining a steady rhythm.

The Hawks failed to pick up the speed for a long time because the rebounding ability of the Magic's frontcourt trio was so good. All three are flexible, tall and rebounding-minded frontcourt players. The Hawks rebounded

The ball is at a disadvantage and can only speed up rather than counterattack.

The Hawks wanted to speed up but couldn't counterattack, and encountered a lot of rhythm problems. The Hawks' physical advantage was curbed, which affected their outside shooting. The Magic had Prince and La.

After Sid Wallace missed two open three-pointers in a row, he began to put more defensive pressure on Liu Mang. When Tracy McGrady singled out Christie, the outside shooting effect was not good, and Howard and help defense were inside.

The powerful Raheem also did not perform well.

At the 4th minute and 15 seconds of the first quarter, with Kwame Brown struggling to grab an offensive rebound to make up a dunk, the Hawks once again led by one point, 11-10.

It was the Magic's offense again. After Nelson advanced to the frontcourt, he lobbed the ball to Hill in the top corner on the left side of the free throw line. Hill continued to post up in the high post.

Prince, who is 2.06 meters tall and has a wingspan of just over 2.2 meters, can only guard Hill. McGrady is not that good at guarding backs, and Liu Mang is short.

Nelson had already hit a three-pointer just now, which put pressure on Liu Mang to defend the point guard from a three-pointer. Nelson was also considered a convulsive player, so it was hard to say whether the shot would be accurate. At this time, Hill took advantage of the fact that no one was double-teaming him.

He turned quickly and cut from the middle. He didn't look like a guy who was worried about ankle injuries after being sidelined for four consecutive seasons. He turned with sharp steps, as if he was dreaming about ten years ago, and went straight to the basket from the middle.

Rasheed Wallace held Howard, Kwame Brown came out to cover the defense. Hill made an exquisite inside pass and sent the ball out from Kwame Brown's waist. Raheem received the ball and faced Raheem.

De Wallace pounced on the defensive lever and made an underhand layup.

Four minutes and thirty seconds!

12 to 11, the Magic took the lead again!

The Eagles were beaten at home and were the first to call a timeout!

After the Magic team saw that they could stabilize the score, they played more and more confidently, and even the pressure on the away game was restrained!

…

When Liu Mang saw the call for a timeout, he took the ball and prepared to throw a few shots to find his touch. He made one with his left hand, but failed to make the next shot with his right hand. He played too hard today and couldn't exert his strength.

The feeling of wanting to run and fight but feeling too awkward when running. I have no advantage in rebounding, can’t pick up the speed, can’t counterattack, the shooting rhythm is wrong, and the shooting rhythm of my teammates is also wrong. What I encountered here

The defense is tighter... The combination of various circumstances caused Liu Mang's overall condition to be bad.

As soon as Liu Mang got the ball from the referee, he heard Coach Kruger calling: "Ace, come here!"

Liu Mang immediately ran back to the bench in a hurry. Is the coach going to make any changes?

"Ace, you and Tracy take more shots, Andre, you guard Hill's back, Nazr, go up and increase the rebounding impact..." Coach Kruger adjusted the lineup.

When Iguodala heard about back-up defense, he immediately became energetic. He didn't know when he became the best at guarding against back-up.

When Muhammad heard that he was going to face off against Rahim, he felt a lot of pressure, but he was never one to shirk responsibility, and he would fight even if he was not strong enough.

When Liu Mang heard this arrangement, he wanted to think about whether to replace Josh Smith. Muhammad couldn't keep up with his speed, but he was afraid of offending Muhammad. People, they just go higher and higher, and worry about it.

The more.

…

After the timeout, for the Hawks, the lineup of Liu Mang, Iguodala, McGrady, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown came on stage.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Magic team has also made changes. The new, middle and old "three cores" Hill, Raheem, and Howard continue to play. Hill is really a magical player. In addition to the season

He only played more than 20 minutes in the first four or five games. After getting into shape later, the average playing time exceeded 35 minutes. Both Raheem and Howard played 40 minutes in each game. Both of them are iron men.

Type of player.

The Magic replaced DeShawn Stevenson as point guard, Turkoglu as small forward, and Hill as shooting guard. In other words, this lineup, without a point guard, is organized by small forwards and shooting guards.

attack.

However, in this lineup, COSCO’s shooting is extremely powerful!

When Liu Mang came up, he saw the Magic team changing into a "one star and four shooting" lineup!

Turkoglu and DeShawn Stevenson both have three-point ability, and Hill and Raheem are both accurate in mid-range shots! And there are four players who are 2.03 meters tall or above!

The Eagles attacked and chose to play the ball in the frontcourt. After Liu Mang received the ball, DeShawn Stevenson defended him.

The "little emperor's old enemy" Stevenson, who has height, speed, strength and defensive talent, put a lot of defensive pressure on Liu Mang. When Liu Mang saw Tracy McGrady defending Turkoglu, he immediately passed the ball to Tracy McGrady.

past.

McGrady received the ball and immediately accelerated to break through. He ran faster and faster in the first three steps, leaving Turkoglu behind. Turkoglu couldn't keep up at all. At this time, Liu Mang came towards McGrady and Turkoglu from behind.

Rushing towards the right corner, Muhammad came out to help Liu Mang block DeShawn Stevenson. McGrady rushed inside and took all the defenders on the right side of the basket to the basket, and then passed the ball to Liu Mang.

Mang, Liu Mang caught the ball in the corner, turned and shot a three-pointer...

"Ding... Quick Shooting Master Level 5 is triggered. This catch and shoot will not be interfered by running, and the shooting speed will be increased by 30%..."

The discomfort Liu Mang felt after running quickly completely disappeared. When he turned to shoot, he felt the same as standing there after receiving the ball and turning around to shoot. Moreover, the speed of his shot became faster. Deshawn Stevenson actively got rid of Mo Han.

Before Mulder pounced after the pick-and-roll, he had already turned around and threw the ball towards the basket!

With perfect shooting feeling, Liu Mang caught the ball and turned around and hit a three-pointer!

14 to 12, the Eagles once again led by two points.

It's time for the Magic's offense again, and the Magic's lineup... is too tall!

The key is that Hill's control of the ball is so good. Iguodala pressed Hill close to the court, but failed to steal the ball.

After arriving in the frontcourt, seemingly "afraid" of Iguodala's ability to defend his back, Hill passed the ball to Turkoglu, who held the ball in the top arc to attack.

At 2.08 meters tall, he plays the position of small forward. He is one of the few true point forwards in the league, taller than Tracy McGrady who is guarding him.

Turkoglu's signature move was to lean against McGrady to avoid being intercepted due to his high center of gravity. At this time, the rest of the Magic team began to move, and Hill cut inside to take away part of the defense.

Liu Mang followed Stevenson. This guy played against the Cavaliers twice this season and became addicted to criticizing James. He was the first player this season to call James a "despicable clown" and bluntly said that the league favored James.

"Terminator-of-Kings" also means terminator of kings, terminator of little emperors, and rivals of little emperors. It became his self-proclaimed nickname, and he became somewhat famous in the United States.

But this guy is indeed accurate in three-pointers. He has made three consecutive three-pointers under James' defense, one-on-one singles. His career-high 26 points was obtained by James who had not yet practiced defense at the beginning of the season.

of.

Just when all the attention is on Hill and DeShawn Stevenson, a man who has been low-key rebounding last season and is still easy to ignore after averaging 25 points per game this season has been ignored again.

.

Rahim ran out, Hill helped Rahim block Mohammed, and Rahim cut into the basket. Tege Kru turned his body sideways as if watching DeShawn Stevenson move, but

But he threw the ball towards the basket, and Rahim dunked and scored two points!

Turkish magician!

The Magic still took their time to play position and insisted on positional play. Especially after switching to a larger lineup, the rhythm slowed down extremely.

When the Eagles attack and play small ball, there is actually no clear shot candidate. The ball will be sent to whoever has the opportunity. However, the flaw of that style of play is that when the counterattack is not in the right rhythm,

Not having a clear shot choice often leads to hesitation in shooting because there is no good way.

Fortunately, coach Kruger asked Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady to strengthen their cooperation and have clear shot options, which is much better for Liu Mang.

Liu Mang did not hold the ball himself, but sent the ball to McGrady. McGrady advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang showed his feelings. He received the ball and faced DeShawn Stevenson's defense and shot a three-pointer!

"Ding... Quick Shooting Master Level 5 trigger, this time the speed of catching and shooting will be increased by 30%..."

"Ding... King of Pull-ups is triggered at level 5. This shot ignores shooting interference..."

The touch was smooth! DeShawn Stevenson didn't expect Liu Mang to shoot like this. When he rushed to defend, Liu Mang's shot was too fast, and he had no time to interfere.

Liu Mang scored two three-pointers in a row!

When the Magic attack again, the Hawks began to strengthen the defense at the basket. These four players who are over 2.03 meters tall plus a 3D shooter who is 1.96 meters tall, except Liu Mang, who is chasing DeShawn Stevenson outside.

, McGrady defended Turkoglu in the top arc, and the other three players all shrank.

Turkoglu made a gesture when he saw this, and then directly used his height to push McGrady into a three-pointer!

Although he has a height advantage, the jump gap is too big. Turkoglu is five centimeters taller than McGrady, but McGrady defended him and forced him to take a backward shot, which decisively missed.

However, the Magic's inside advantage once again showed its power. Kwame Brown had to fight with Howard. Howard didn't care about anything today and just fought hard with Kwame Brown to grab rebounds. He was holding back a sad and angry mentality.

Howard, really restrained Kwame Brown!

Raheem attracted the attention of Iguodala and Rasheed Wallace. Hill grabbed the offensive rebound and threw the ball toward the basket when he landed, and he also made a hit!
