The Bulls' defense was all prepared to block Liu Mang. When Liu Mang started passing the ball and organizing the offense with all his strength, he couldn't adapt at all.

The Eagles hit all five of their opening shots and went on a 12-4 run!

First, McGrady scored 5 points in a row, and then McGrady received a pass from Liu Mang and passed it to Rasheed Wallace, who hit a mid-range straight-arm jumper. Liu Mang used the three-point threat to cause Hinrich a three-point foul and two free throws.

Then McGrady used Liu Mang's pass to score a three-pointer. McGrady couldn't stop the shot with his touch!

The Eagles scored on all of their first five shots!

Although the Bulls also made two goals in the beginning, 2 of 5 shots, a floater by Hinrich and a pick-and-roll reverse run by Antonio Davis to catch the ball and turn for a layup, they could not hold off the Eagles' 5 shots.

all hit!

After only three minutes of play, the Bulls called a timeout.

Liu Mang was very curious, what did the opponent really think of McGrady? An assist brush who could only pass the ball?

It’s so easy to be fooled. Why do you really think that McGrady can’t score anymore? This guy was second in the NBA scoring list last season, and he was the scoring leader last season!

And it’s not like McGrady doesn’t break through or shoot anymore, he just reduces the proportion of his shots. His skills and body are at their peak, but the Bulls don’t even bother to keep an eye on McGrady!

Liu Mang was stunned by the Bulls' defense that targeted him for several consecutive balls at the beginning.

In the first three minutes, he scored 2 points and 3 assists. Liu Mang didn't even expect that he could play so well!

…

On the Bulls side, how could they expect that the other side is actually a liar!

And there is nothing they can do about not keeping an eye on McGrady. Prince is in the left corner. When Liu Mang and McGrady partner, if Liu Mang holds the ball, McGrady is usually in the mid-range position on the right side. This is originally

This is the position that Coach Kruger uses to allow McGrady to rush for rebounds when Liu Mang is in singles on the outside for a step-back jumper, or to attract a double-team when Liu Mang breaks through and McGrady can run back or cut in the air.

Hinrich couldn't guard against Liu Mang's breakthrough. Eddie Curry under the basket was strong offensively, but if he was serious on the defensive end, he could at least act as a wall of meat, allowing Antonio Davis to help defend and block shots.

It can work, just like the effect of having two Davises next to Miller back then, but most of the time, Antonio Davis needs to do more, and the Bulls also need to do more on the outside.

Other teams have poor perimeter defense and the inside line helps wipe the floor, but the Bulls do help the inside line with their outside defense.

In addition, Liu Mang wanted to compete with Koko for personal scoring in the last game. When playing against the Raptors, not to mention McGrady was open. Kwame Brown did not pass the ball when the basket was open. The Bulls' tactical arrangement today was to defend Liu Mang.

Reckless.

Who knew that Liu Mang kept passing the ball in this game?

Coach Skiles looked at the Eagles and wanted to rush over and point at Coach Kruger's nose, who was chatting and laughing with McGrady, and scold him: "How shameless! A strong team can play dirty tricks!"

After Iverson scored 56 points yesterday, Coach Skiles was convinced that Liu Mang was going to score points with Iverson. Liu Mang's revealed character was too much like someone who would play regardless.

Such a character, not to mention this is still the regular season. Aren’t all strong teams so arrogant?

The Bulls have muddied the waters so much by relying on other teams' contempt for them.

Who knew that the Eagles could be such a team!

It’s too devoid of “strong team style”!

…

…

After the timeout, neither team made any substitutions, and the Bulls attacked.

Liu Mang waited for Xinrich to advance over. He glanced at Liu Mang behind him and found a big man walking out with an unhappy look on his face. This figure was really fat. He was nicknamed Shark, whether it was a big shark or a big man.

Little sharks are so big!

After Liu Mang saw Hinrich advancing, Eddie Curry blocked him and asked for a pick-and-roll. When he went around, Hinrich did not take the opportunity to shoot a jumper, but attracted Kwame Brown to the defensive position. Liu Mang

Seeing Eddie Curry's impressive cut, Liu Mang immediately reacted and chased after Eddie Curry, but was blocked again!

Liu Mang was blocked by Antonio Davis. Hinrich passed the ball to Eddie Curry. Rasheed Wallace wanted to block Eddie Curry. Eddie Curry used his exaggerated arms.

With his incredibly flexible body, he made a sudden stop and threw the ball into the basket with a straight-arm throw.

This little trick of emergency stopping, this soft touch and the choice of the timing of the shot are amazing!

but……

Then Eddy Curry started to be lazy again, as if he was just showing his hand to tease you. The Eagles were just about to pay attention to interior defense, and Eddy Curry began to walk on the court again.

The Eagles thought they were going to be unable to counterattack like they did against the Magic, but unexpectedly, they started fighting right away.

McGrady controls the ball, and Liu Mang moves; Liu Mang plays in isolation, and McGrady cuts or loops around the top. The Eagles' offense still plays smoothly, with a 6-on-4 feeling.

The Bulls' normal style of play can have certain limitations on the Hawks by controlling the rhythm as a whole, but when Eddie Curry only plays occasionally, they have no absolute strong points and no targeted tactics.

There was a mistake in the previous arrangement, and now we can only rely on regular defense. However, Eddy Curry is not worried and is inexplicably not excited at all. This is the same Eddy Curry who was very excited about playing Kwame Brown before the game.

It seems that they are not the same person, and they are unwilling to fight occasionally.

But Eddie Curry looks normal on the Bulls.

In the sixth minute of the first quarter, when the Bulls called timeout again and entered the official timeout, the Hawks were already 20-11, leading the Bulls by 9 points.

The Bulls were about the same as the first three minutes. They only scored 7 points in three minutes. They could barely maintain their normal offensive level when playing against strong defensive teams. They usually scored around 90 points in a game against strong defensive teams.

During this official timeout, the Bulls came up with some ideas. Taking advantage of these few minutes of game time and dead ball time, Coach Scales took the time to come up with some ways to deal with the Eagles.

After the official timeout, Liu Mang continued to play with Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.

What Coach Kruger wants is to compete with the Bulls' pace.

McGrady played six minutes and scored 10 points, with explosive efficiency. On the contrary, Liu Mang only scored 4 points, but had 4 assists. McGrady only had two assists in the first quarter.

The Bulls also carried out a large-scale rotation. Defending McGrady had basically no effect. Instead, Luol Deng, who was guarded by McGrady on the offensive end, was replaced. Duhong was also replaced. Hinrich took Ben-

Gordon, Nocioni, Antonio Davis, Chandler come on.

The Bulls attack first, and they want to increase the success rate of the offense. As long as the offense scores, it can slow down the Eagles' rhythm.

Neither Ben Gordon nor Nocioni is a good defensive player, but they have enough attitude and can retreat to delay the opponent. As long as they bring the Eagles into a positional battle, they can slightly restrict the Eagles' offense. This is

Coach Kelce found some little ways to deal with the Hawks from the Magic's win over the Hawks.

When super sixth man Ben Gordon came on the court, the Bulls' offensive firepower really increased a lot. This guy was so good at shooting that Liu Mang and Iguodala couldn't even defend him when they took turns to defend him.

Shooting around pick-and-rolls is great. With Chandler, a big center who is active in pick-and-rolls, whether it is Ben Gordon or Hinrich, their efficiency is much higher than when they cooperate with Eddie Curry.

However, when the Bulls played like this, they were only able to control the rhythm. After Liu Mang saw that the speed could not be increased, he did not force the speed to increase. Liu Mang gained some experience after the Magic team forced a speed increase last time and the rhythm was wrong.

, mastered some rhythm switching options, and launched a positional battle versus Biao mode with Jason Terry.

Then, Liu Mang started to get angry. In the eighth minute of the first quarter, Liu Mang, who had only scored four points, first faced Hinrich and hit a pull-up three-pointer. After frightening the opponent closer, Liu Mang

Mang relied on Jason Terry's arcing run from the bottom corner to the top corner and Iguodala's bilateral movement to the bottom corner to attract the opponent's double-attack players. Liu Mang broke through Hinrich and entered the basket to create a penalty.

Dele fouled and went on a 5-0 run, suddenly widening the point difference to more than 10 points.

After the first quarter, the Eagles led the Bulls by 12 points, 33-21!

Liu Mang scored 9 points and 5 assists in the first quarter, McGrady scored 10 points in a single quarter, and others scored 14 points. The Eagles played a beautiful team game.

Eagles fans were expecting Liu Mang to score points, but after Liu Mang came up, he mainly passed the ball and only scored 9 points in the first quarter, which is the number of points Liu Mang should have scored in a normal quarter when playing against a strong team.

, 4936, Liu Mang consistently scores seven to nine points in each quarter against tough opponents. After a game, his average points per game neither rise nor fall, which is normal performance.

However, this performance makes the fans feel more interesting!

It's all seen, the Bulls were deceived by the Eagles, and now the Eagles are in an absolute advantage!

Although I used tactics to beat a team ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, it felt a bit like bullying them.

However, Eagles fans feel the same as McGrady now, a little ashamed, but very excited!

In the second quarter, the Bulls could still only perform normally. This was no longer easy for them. They could still perform normally against the Eagles.

But their normal strength is fifth in the Eastern Conference. Among the top five teams in the Eastern Conference, they can only be compared with the Nets. There is a big gap between them and the Eagles, Pistons, and Heat. The plan before the game is completely

It was useless and was beaten by the Eagles.

Liu Mang continued his steady output in the second quarter, scoring 10 points in a single quarter and 19 points in the half. At the end of the half, the Eagles led the Bulls by 17 points, 61-44!

…

…

19 points and 7 assists. Liu Mang got 7 assists in the half. It was all thanks to the Bulls that allowed him to easily send out three assists at the beginning, allowing him to cooperate with his teammates.

Seeing that he was leading by 17 points, Liu Mang's restless heart couldn't be restrained again. During the halftime break, he stared at Tracy McGrady, Stockton, Mike Woodson, and Crewe who were discussing tactics.

The four coaches, Coach Ge, looked eagerly awaiting.

"Don't worry, Ace, we have already taken advantage. You can use it in the second half." McGrady said with a helpless smile.

McGrady was on a roll today. The Hawks scored 61 points at halftime. Liu Mang and McGrady accounted for more than half. That means McGrady scored 21 points at halftime and 10 points in two quarters. This is the first time in McGrady's Hawks career.

First time.

Liu Mang saw the slightly disgusted look in the eyes of the head coach and two assistant coaches nearby, and immediately went to the toilet in a hurry. Do you need to listen to the tactics? The whole team will help him score. It is his teammates who need to listen to the tactics...
