David Lee passed the ball beautifully!

The Eagles retreated quickly after scoring.

Liu Mang stayed at the top arc, waiting for Delong to advance.

It is very important to limit Deron's scoring, rebounds and assists.

Although Liu Mang was the most critical point in the Eagles' first attack from a tactical perspective, Liu Mang did not get any data on the first attack. Liu Mang had to ensure that Delong's team could not get any data either!

Delong was very excited to face Liu Mang, and his hands were shaking a little when he advanced to the frontcourt.

Paul met Liu Mang twice this season, and each time was worse than the last. If Paul can't win, Deron wants to win!

Although Deron's statistics are much worse than Paul's, his evaluation is not much worse than Paul's. The reason is that he did not lose when facing Paul head-on, and even had an advantage, and even defeated Liu Mang once!

This time he wants to do it again!

Facing Liu Mang who was approaching from the three-point line, Deron used his explosive speed that was inconsistent with his size to try to break through!

The last time I played against Liu Mang, I gained confidence!

but!

Liu Mang judged Delong's purpose before Delong tried to use force to attack. As a rookie, Delong exposed his thoughts too easily. Liu Mang took advantage of Delong's action at the moment Delong used force.

In the few tenths of a second he was preparing to move, he took the initiative to press towards Delong.

Deron's weight and strength give him a physical advantage in the point guard position, especially since although he is a rookie, he will turn 22 in June and his physical development is already very mature.

If Delong speeds up, Liu Mang won't be able to stop him.

But this time, Liu Mang judged the opportunity well and pressed forward at the right time, interrupting Delong's breakthrough!

"Ding... Features: When the gloves are triggered, the host's aura suppression ability takes effect."

Deron was caught by Liu Mang before he could increase his speed, and Liu Mang's physical pressure was very strong. Liu Mang was a bit thinner than Deron, and Deron's body shape was a taller version of Raymond Fei.

Hilton's body shape is very similar to Baron Davis. He is 1.91 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms, which is about the same weight as Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady.

But Liu Mang's strength exceeded his size, and he interrupted Delong's breakthrough.

Delong wanted to change direction, but Liu Mang caught up immediately!

Delong felt like Liu Mang was like a big net, covering him like that!

Watching Deron continuously change directions, being either stuck or retreated by Liu Mang, accurately grasping every defensive step that blocked Deron's breakthrough, the fans at the scene began to scream and cheer!

Liu Mang's defense was more active and serious than usual!

Liu Mang really looked down on Deron last time. From the data point of view, Deron and Felton are not much different. He felt that Deron has not tapped his potential, but he did not expect that it was just the tactical needs of the Jazz. Felton

The only thing that can be compared with Deron is weight and strength. Deron's speed and explosive power are far superior to Felton!

Liu Mang was very focused on defense this time, and his defense has made great progress compared to the last time he played against the Jazz!

Deron changed direction from the beginning to break through, dribbling near the top arc for seven or eight seconds, and the more he dribbled and changed direction, the farther away he was from the three-point line!

If Deron had not controlled the ball well, he was almost intercepted. Seeing that 17 seconds of the 24-second attack time had passed, Deron quickly passed the ball to Boozer who was inside the three-point line to connect.

Boozer originally wanted to pick and roll, but Delong insisted on playing Liu Mang in singles.

Boozer received the ball and there was not much attack time left. He immediately started a singles game. Facing David Lee's defense, Boozer rushed to the free throw line and made an emergency stop jumper...

Boozer's mid-range shot was incredibly accurate, and he hit a pull-up jumper!

Liu Mang looked at David Lee's defense and didn't know what to say. When Boozer was about to break through and use his strength, David Lee made a complete misjudgment and actually jumped up. Boozer missed him cleanly.

This is an expected situation. The coaching staff has weakened positions other than Liu Mang and Kwame Brown as much as possible. Today's power forward is David Lee, and the substitute is Horry...

In transition, the Eagles attack.

Liu Mang came to the frontcourt, the opponent's defender changed, and he saw Delong defending.

The Jazz's desperate move.

Originally, the Hawks didn't have Tracy McGrady on the field, so Kirilenko could guard Liu Mang, but Deron couldn't guard Iguodala's pass and cut. Coach Sloan didn't even dare to let Deron guard Korver's movement.

Yes, Korver must be given an open shot every time, otherwise the team's defense will be in chaos. In this case, just yell at Deron to guard Liu Mang when the Jazz return to defense.

Liu Mang observed the opponent's defense. Devin Brown was chasing Korver very closely, and Kirilenko had a tendency to shrink.

Deron came up immediately and, like other teams, focused on defending three-pointers. This was a common defensive strategy used by all teams with defensive discipline in the league against Liu Mang.

He didn't dare to shoot, and would rather break through the trap and give Liu Mang a chance to pass, rather than give Liu Mang space to play singles from outside the three-point line.

However, Liu Mang felt that there was something wrong with Delong's defense. He seemed to be very confident in himself. He took small steps to prevent his breakthrough, because the physical pressure of the defense was not that strong.

Liu Mang took the initiative to press forward and charged forward from the right!

Delong quickly moved sideways to the left and back without making any mistakes. He waited for Liu Mang to break through and then retreat.

However, Liu Mang only took one step, which was much different than Delong expected!

Liu Mang stepped to the right side of the top arc and made an emergency stop!

Delong was still taking small steps at this time, waiting for Liu Mang to take a deeper step before he could press on him and shrink back immediately. He was not ready to take off at all, so he could only stand on tiptoes and reach out to interfere.

Liu Mang already has a two centimeter advantage in height, and his wingspan has grown a lot, especially Liu Mang's confidence!

Liu Mang made a pull-up three-pointer without hesitation. The king of pull-ups triggered, which made up for the problem of lowered bounce height caused by Liu Mang's sudden takeoff. The shot felt perfect, and the ball passed through a beautiful arc and fell into the basket.

!

5 to 2, the Eagles lead!

With an offensive rating of 76, a defensive rating of 79, a passing rating of 83, and a comprehensive ability rating of 79, Deron is outstanding as a rookie. Since the new century, the rookie season of a player who entered the NBA as a point guard is a rookie.

The only rookie point guards who have performed better than Deron this season are Liu Mang, Wade, James, and Paul.

Moreover, Deron's biggest suppression of Paul is not his high scoring, but his ability to prevent Paul from shooting well below average in his rookie season. Deron has played against Paul 4 times this season, with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.

He defended Paul on 2-for-10 out of 10 games. He is a single defense expert who ranks very high among the new generation of point guards.

But there is still a long way to go to guard against Liu Mang!

Deron is still too young. If he just wants to defend Liu Mang and shoot a three-pointer, Liu Mang can only break into the mid-range and enter Kirilenko's defensive range and pass the ball to Iguodala, but Deron

He was overconfident and wanted to challenge Liu Mang, but Liu Mang hit him with a three-pointer!

Yan page cum!

After Liu Mang scored the goal, he opened his hands and mouthed at Delon, as if he had no choice but to make the shot.

Deron felt aggrieved and quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although Deron was angry this time, he was not as stubborn as before. He was scolded by Coach Sloan who was standing on the sidelines just after he retreated.

Deron faced Liu Mang's defense, protected the ball, and looked for Boozer to pick and roll.

Boozer's pick-and-roll was as solid as Garnett's, and Deron and Boozer seemed to have a natural understanding. They played the pick-and-roll very well. The two seized on the time difference. Before the Hawks' defense switch was completed, Boozer

Zell had already opened up and moved to the high post on the left side of the free throw line. Deron immediately passed the ball to Boozer, but at this time Korver let go of Devin Brown and immediately covered Boozer.

, Boozer has a good high-post passing ability, quickly transfers the ball, and passes the ball to Devin Brown in the bottom corner.

Devin Brown seized the opportunity and hit an open three-pointer!

Open three-pointers and chasing down players without the ball are Devin Brown's only two strengths, and he did not waste this opportunity.

It was a tie at 5-5, both teams started the game very well offensively.

The Eagles chose to attack the Jazz!

The Hawks mainly left open space for the Jazz's outside shooters, not allowing Boozer to receive Deron's pass and shoot or attack the basket. Boozer cut to the basket and Kwame Brown went to cover the defense. They would rather let Boozer

Passing the ball to the player under the basket, Boozer received the ball from the mid-to-long distance and then defended from the outside, preferring to give Devin Brown and Kirilenko a chance to shoot three-pointers.

As for the Jazz, there is really no good way to deal with Liu Mang's high-post singles. Deron, Kirisek and Halprin who came on the bench can hardly guard Liu Mang by themselves. They can only give Liu Mang a chance to break into the mid-range.

opportunity, and then flanked, allowing Liu Mang to pass the ball for an assist.

They don't dare to double-team directly from the top arc. After receiving the ball, Calderon and Iguodala can take the opportunity to attack better. They would rather defend the basket and block Liu Mang's three-pointers and double-team Liu Mang from the mid-range.

Eagles outside shooting.

In addition, every time Deron passes the ball to a teammate, the Eagles will guard the receiver and would rather give others a chance!

Gradually, Delong felt that he was being targeted!

It was basically impossible to score, as the Hawks would double-team him after the pick-and-roll.

He passed the ball and didn't get any assists.

Even when trying to grab a rebound, the Eagles would rather not get the rebound themselves than block him!

With Liu Mang as the core of the offense, responsible for controlling shooting power and attracting defense, the Eagles were once as good as the Jazz!

At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles played an offense that exceeded people's expectations. Liu Mang scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the first quarter. He played very hard, breaking out when he could, shooting when he could, using pick-and-rolls and so on.

played, leading the team to score 27 points in a single quarter, only one point behind the Jazz.

As for Delong, he felt deeply that he was definitely being targeted!

From a tactical perspective, he attracted a lot of defense and allowed the Jazz to score 28 points in a single quarter, but he only had 3 points, 0 rebounds and 1 assist.
Chapter completed!
