850.Leap on the defensive end
For the Bulls, Hinrich, Duhon, Luol Deng, Antonio Davis, and Eddie Curry appear.
After arriving in the center circle, Eddie Curry yelled at Kwame Brown: "Why are you so cool? You're a parallel import."
Eddie Curry was unhappy with Kwame Brown's expression of not taking them seriously.
Sure enough, this guy asked and talked trash. Kwame Brown is now immune to the word "parallel import number one", especially to these people in the same class, because he is now the best, and he has beaten these people
Think of it as jealousy of not being able to eat grapes.
Kwame Brown remembered what Liu Mang said when he asked him to encounter this situation. He moved closer to Eddie Curry and said: "Ace is very angry, and the consequences will be serious."
"watt?"
"Calm down, you two."
Eddy Curry also wanted to ask what this meant. The referee thought they were arguing. The scene was too noisy. Kwame Brown came closer and said something to Eddy Curry. The referee next to him did not hear the content, but because the two teams
Now that the media is hyping up the "fight", the referee subconsciously thought that the two were choking each other, and immediately warned them and separated them.
Eddie Curry saw the expression on Kwame Brown's face, and couldn't help but look at Liu Mang. Liu Mang happened to be looking at him as well. Eddie Curry saw Liu Mang's eyes, as if he was
Looks like a dead person.
"These guys..." Eddie Curry had that heart palpitating feeling again.
Liu Mang's goal has been achieved. Giving the other party psychological hints has no effect now. It may make the other party more afraid of him. But if he doesn't win over the other party even if he is afraid of him, then the effect of this kind of psychological hint will be highlighted...
…
The referee saw that the two teams were in good positions, pointed to both sides, blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air.
Kwame Brown wins the jump ball over Eddie Curry by a clear margin.
"Quickly retreat!" Very rarely, Eddie Curry shouted to his teammates to retreat, and immediately ran back after landing.
When other members of the Bulls saw Eddie Curry playing such active defense, they felt that Eddie Curry was a different person when he met the Hawks. They secretly lamented that it really takes a strong opponent to make Eddie Curry "serious"
, which made them even more excited - this fat guy can still be saved, but ordinary opponents can't make him "serious". Just like playing O'Neal, Eddie Curry has never been scared. The two almost always exploded against each other.
That's why Eddie Curry got the nickname Little Shark.
The serious Eddie Curry drove the Bulls' enthusiasm and quickly retreated into position.
After Liu Mang received the ball, he immediately passed it to Tracy McGrady. Liu Mang rushed directly towards the frontcourt. The Bulls' defense adjusted quickly. Hinrich's defense was in place, waiting for Liu Mang to rush to the frontcourt and block him.
Mang quickly made a horizontal pull, Rasheed Wallace came up to block Hinrich, Liu Mang exploded with speed, Antonio Davis's defense had no effect at all, Luol Deng had already quickly stepped up to defend.
But with the speed bonus brought by Liu Mang's Pick-and-Roll Master level 5, Liu Mang's speed directly exceeded 100, and he drove straight to the basket from Luol Deng.
McGrady's pass was delivered to Liu Mang in a timely manner.
Liu Mang cut to the free throw line to receive the ball and went straight to the basket. Eddie Curry actively came up to defend. Liu Mang grabbed the ball with his right hand and jumped towards Eddie Curry. He threw his right hand diagonally behind him.
, Eddie Curry, who was already very positive today, was made even more positive by Kwame Brown's words. He rushed towards Kwame Brown who rushed in, but he did not see the ball!
Liu Mang took the ball back in the air, switched to his left hand, raised his left hand from bottom to top, and made an easy layup.
His ability to finish around the basket has become stronger and stronger. When he met Eddie Curry, who had no enthusiasm but had never defended well and had no defensive experience, he easily toyed with the opponent.
It is a bad thing that the opponent becomes more motivated, but sometimes it can be used for good. What Liu Mang is best at is taking advantage of the opponent's loopholes in this aspect, mainly because their physical fitness is much better than the opponent's.
During the transition between offense and defense, Liu Mang retreated quickly after scoring the goal. The rest of the Eagles had already retreated when Liu Mang threw the ball toward the basket, which was very decisive.
After the Bulls arrived in the frontcourt, they were closely guarded by the Eagles' one-on-one defense. Liu Mang went up to defend after Hinrich came over and kept making physical contact. Hinrich was beaten hard every time he met Liu Mang.
But he protected the ball well and didn't panic.
Originally Hinrich wanted to find a pick-and-roll, but when he saw Eddie Curry actively blocking the inside position at the beginning of the game, blocking Kwame Brown behind him, Hinrich was overjoyed and lobbed the ball to Eddie.
-Curry.
Eddie Curry is very confident, very confident. After defeating the Hawks last time, the news he got from his agent is that the Bulls are more active in talking about contract extension with his team. Now Ace Curry wants to
We need to speed up contract renewal negotiations, so when we encounter the Eagles, we play very seriously and proactively. We are targeted by Kwame Brown and Liu Mang, and we are even more aggressive in getting the ball.
Kwame Brown tried his best to fight against Eddie Curry, making it more difficult for the opponent to gain position, but he still didn't get stuck, and Eddie Curry got into position to receive the ball.
When Eddie Curry received the ball, Rasheed Wallace let go of Antonio Davis to double-team. Eddie Curry immediately distributed the ball to Antonio Davis in the middle distance on the left.
, this guy has a mid-range shot!
As soon as Antonio Davis received the ball, Liu Mang was already in place to defend. Antonio Davis was shocked. The opponent's defensive rotation was too fast today!
Fortunately, Antonio Davis reacted in time, raised the ball and quickly passed it to the top arc without being caught by Liu Mang's hand.
As soon as Hinrich received the ball, McGrady blocked it. Hinrich immediately passed it to Duhong. Rasheed Wallace had already extended from the inside to cover Duhong!
Everything went as expected. In fact, this was exactly the defensive rotation the Eagles had expected.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Having played the Bulls once, the Eagles have already been impressed by the Bulls' internal and external passing and receiving, plus they have played the Bulls and Mavericks once in a row.
, the Eagles themselves have also learned something, and their defensive rotations have become more organized. Unlike before, they slowly fumbled around and learned from teams that already have very mature defensive rotations, making progress faster!
Being pressed by the Hawks, the Bulls' attack time was less than 10 seconds. Luol Deng ran out to ask for the ball. Hinrich immediately passed it to Luol Deng's outside single point.
When Luol Deng faced Prince, he feinted twice to no avail. Prince was too calm, so calm that Luol Deng wanted to pass the ball, but he was the strongest besides Eddie Curry.
With a single RBI point and no chance to shoot directly, Luol Deng bit the bullet and pushed inside.
He actually rushed from the bottom line to a position close to the bottom line quite smoothly! Luol Deng himself was surprised. When he reached the mid-range of the bottom line, Luol Deng turned around and shot a jumper!
This is what he does best...
As soon as I took off and grabbed the ball to my chest, before it reached my neck, a hand stretched out from behind was pressing down on the ball!
Prince deliberately let Luol Deng rush to the bottom line and formed a pincer attack with Liu Mang!
The two have been partners for so long, and Liu Mang and Prince's defensive understanding is so good. Without any hint, Liu Mang knew the opponent's intentions, and silently watched Luol Deng rush to the baseline with his back turned.
At that moment, when Luol Deng turned around, Liu Mang stretched out his evil big hand and blocked the shot accurately!
Prince grabbed the ball and immediately passed it to Tracy McGrady, who ran back to the free throw line to receive the ball. Liu Mang was already about to go down.
The Bulls retreated quickly and chased Liu Mang.
Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt and received McGrady's lob. He immediately took three big steps after entering the three-point line, grabbed the ball and threw it to the right.
Hinrich and Du Hong, who came back from the defense, "weren't fooled" and felt that Liu Mang was going to play a fake pass shot again, but Liu Mang really passed the ball this time and threw the ball to the right rear, where Kwame Brown rushed over.
Take off immediately after receiving the ball, glide one step inside the free throw line and dunk with both hands!
It’s too fast! That’s not the point. The point is that it’s so fast!
The reason why Duhong and Hinrich felt that Liu Mang was trying to trick them into playing fake fax shooting was because Kwame Brown had just entered the three-point line. Even if Kwame Brown was fast, he could only go to the free throw line. Liu Mang passed the ball.
They can also block it, and maybe even steal Kwame Brown who receives the ball. Kwame Brown is notoriously bad at dribbling. As long as Kwame Brown catches the ball, they will have a chance.
But I didn't expect that Kwame Brown's physical fitness was too violent, and he almost made a flying dunk with his heel on the free throw line!
The most important point is that Liu Mang actually did not shoot directly when his teammates were following up and the defenders were two small guards. Liu Mang's playing style has been understood by many people. If there is a small chance, he must shoot.
It is Liu Mang's characteristic that he has no chance to force a shot, especially when he has a rebound advantage. Liu Mang actually played so "reasonably" today.
The Bulls were so confident before because their impression of the last game against the Hawks was that they frantically chased an 18-point deficit in the second half and dragged the game into overtime. That kind of half-time brought confidence.
My impression of Liu Mang is also the impression that Liu Mang played very independently in the second half of the last game.
But now, they remembered that there was not only half of that game, but also that when the Eagles were serious in the first half, they led by 18 points at halftime!
In this game, the Eagles were more serious than in the first half of the last game. In the last game, the Eagles still had a "playing" mentality. They gave the Bulls a bad start at the beginning of the game, making them think Liu Mang was going to go crazy.
points, quickly gained the lead, and then relaxed his mentality, so during the halftime break, Tracy McGrady relaxed and smiled, allowing Liu Mang to relax in the second half.
Mainly because of this, there are prerequisites for the Bulls to make a comeback.
The Eagles' defense is already good, but because of the new offensive tactics and the need for new defensive strategies, they are still adjusting. After having such good defensive "demonstration teams" as the Bulls and Mavericks, Mike Woodson found the feeling.
, defense not only requires enthusiasm and defensive awareness, sometimes experience and pre-judging the opponent's offensive passing route will also play a big role.
Since the Eagles are all players with good defensive awareness, they are very suitable for quick defensive rotations. With the new things, the defense can be improved a lot at once.
It was tested at the beginning of the game and the effect was very good. Then the players played more determinedly.
But the Bulls can't stand it!
At the beginning of the game, they were beaten 4-0, and then they missed 4 consecutive shots. Eddie Curry was double-teamed when he received the ball, and when he passed it out, he was pressured by the Eagles' fast-rotating defense.
, consuming the Bulls' offensive time.
This was originally the defense the Bulls were best at, but the Eagles learned it!
Finally, in the new tactical system, the Eagles have also integrated the most important part of the previous tactical system-treating others in the same way!
This is a qualitative improvement for the Eagles!
The Bulls' defensive strategy is very powerful. Coach Skiles is a very good coach. They don't need to think about how to deal with their own defense. The Eagles have better physical fitness than them, faster defensive rotations, and
Unlike the Bulls, who are mostly first-, second- or fourth-year players, they have experienced players like Tracy McGrady and Rasheed Wallace, who can do even better defense than the Bulls' own team!
It's true that the Bulls have talent, and it's true that they are also very capable, but after all, they are a young team. In the first half of the last game, the Eagles had an absolute advantage, but they just made their own mistakes in the second half.
Death, coupled with Eddie Curry's explosion, defeated the Hawks in an upset.
In the last game against the Bulls, the Hawks were overturned in the second half. In addition to Eddy Curry and Ben Gordon going berserk, another key reason was that the Hawks gave up the good rhythm of the first half in the third quarter.
At the beginning of the second half, Liu Mang played in singles, and the tempo suddenly slowed down, allowing the Bulls, who were already good at controlling the tempo and having a balanced offense and defense, to take the lead. Taking advantage of Eddie Curry's rampage, Ben Gordon also got a chance to play, and in one fell swoop
Taking the game into overtime and winning a dramatic victory.
But this time, the Eagles were very focused from the beginning. On the defensive end, Mike Woodson learned the fast rotation defense of the Bulls and Mavericks, which significantly improved the Eagles' fast rotation defense.
This time the Eagles' defense has improved significantly. After a 4-0 start, they prevented the opponent from missing four consecutive shots. The Eagles started with a 12-0 start! The Bulls were forced to call a timeout.
However, the timeout did not have much effect. The Hawks beat them 12-0 in three minutes. In the next 9 minutes, the Bulls only scored 12 points. Although after the timeout, the Bulls' defensive end became more and more difficult.
Faster, the defensive pressure became stronger, and the Bulls' enthusiasm prevented the Eagles from scoring only 18 points in the next 9 minutes of the first quarter. However, the Eagles took the lead with these 18 points!
