Kidd was originally unhappy with Liu Mang. Although he took revenge in the playoffs last season, just ask Liu Mang. Can a stingy person's revenge be avenged comfortably once? Once an enemy, he will be an enemy for life.

The Nets fell into a positional battle. If it were last season, Kidd would have given the ball to Van Horn or Kittles for a one-on-one shot, and then just defend, slowly grinding, and slowly waiting until the opportunity for the pick-and-roll came.

.

But this time, Kidd surprised Liu Mang and continued to hold it. Collins and Kenyon Martin inside went to the two corners to pick and roll for Kittles and Jefferson!

Pick-and-roll cuts from both wings!

Kenyon Martin helped Kittles pick-and-roll, and Muhammad could barely keep up after switching defenses. Kittles has suffered the most severe physical decline this year, and after Collins helped Jefferson pick-and-roll, Kidd immediately

Passing the ball to Jefferson who had just finished the pick-and-roll, he saw that Jefferson was about to get rid of Ratliff in three or two steps, and he was about to bypass Ratliff from the top line!

Liu Mang decisively chose to shrink and double-teamed Jefferson with Ratliff. Jefferson passed the ball back to the top arc!

Kidd designed this ball for himself! After receiving the back pass, Kidd pushed a three-pointer and shot!

Hit!

The simpler the offensive tactic, the more difficult it is to defend as long as you have enough ability!

It's not that Liu Mang didn't see what Kidd was thinking, but that Jefferson was beating Ratliff in a small way and was obviously a greater threat than Kidd's three-pointer!

Kidd's personal offense is not the Nets' first choice, but when he makes a shot, it's a good shot!

This year, the Nets have had countless teams that underestimated Kidd's outside shooting. After the start, Kidd made a three-pointer at the beginning, and then the defense did not dare to let go of Kidd easily, causing Kidd's passing to change.

More fierce!

After Kidd made a three-pointer, the Nets quickly retreated on defense, which also blocked the Hawks' fast break.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Kidd defended him and started to move his mouth: "I didn't want to shoot a three-pointer, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to shoot a three-pointer."

After listening to Kidd's words, Liu Mang calmed down. This guy responded with strength!

Last season Liu Mang broke various three-point records for rookies. If it weren't for Ray Allen's amazing three-pointers, Liu Mang would have broken the history of three-pointers in a single season in his rookie year.

Better yet!

Liu Mang waved for a pick-and-roll, and Rahim rushed out. Kenyon Martin came to the other side first and tried to block Liu Mang's pick-and-roll in advance. However, Rahim ran out to block him halfway.

, before he could block Kidd, he turned around and ran inside!

Liu Mang threw the ball into the sky, lob!

Rahim just turned around and entered the free throw line, and the ball fell right into Rahim's hands!

Kidd looked at the landing point of this beautiful lob in surprise. Of course, he can easily get this kind of ball, but this does not mean that this kind of ball can be easily passed! Just now, Liu Mang was already playing with him and Kenyon Martin.

When a double attack was formed, the ball seemed to be thrown casually, but it landed so accurately on Rahim's path!

Kidd is certain that there are less than 5 people in the entire league who can pass this kind of ball!

Watching Raheem rush to the basket and smash the ball into the basket through Collins, Kidd's defense saw what it felt like to pick and roll with Kenyon Martin!

Only then did Kidd realize that this kid was actually imitating his own pick-and-roll! Kidd was extremely shocked!

Liu Mang's two pick-and-roll attacks and passing routes flashed through his mind. Kidd was sure that this was the routine he used in last season's finals!

The accuracy of this pass and this learning ability are only inferior to experience!

Over time, when this kid accumulates experience and integrates the passing techniques he has learned, it is simply terrifying!

Traditional point guards, like traditional centers, are players who need time to grow. Kidd himself only entered the mature stage in his sixth season. Needless to say, Nash, with accumulated experience, even the historical assist leader Stockton,

He entered the NBA at a very mature age of 22 years old and played in his third year before he began to mature and started his peak years of 50 consecutive wins with Malone.

He has passing awareness and ability, talent, and such an excellent learning ability! Kidd saw a second-year player who will be quite scary in the future. The key is that this guy is only 20 years old!

This made Kidd feel a sense of crisis. He must win the championship as soon as possible while this guy is still young. Otherwise, with the Hawks' current talented lineup and their draft ability, the Eastern Conference will probably be in trouble for a long time in the future.

The desperate period of time!

Kidd originally had this idea when he saw second-year James when he formed the Three Musketeers with Carter and Jefferson. Later, he went directly to the Mavericks to form a giant team, and then

It’s just that it didn’t succeed.

Looking at Rahim's cruel dunk, his classmate actually felt a sense of enjoyment after being dunked. Liu Mang felt strange and turned around and ran back quickly to defend.

Just as Kidd thought, in the two pick-and-rolls at the beginning, Liu Mang was imitating his opponent.

To do the same thing, Liu Mang said that he should learn the playing style of his opponent who may have the strongest organizational ability. There is nothing shameful. If you can score, you are a good passer.

When the fans at the scene saw Liu Mang again today, they had an inexplicable premonition. Is the passing version of the hooligan coming again?

The last time Liu Mang played, he had 5 assists in the first quarter, and then he came on the bench and became an expert in free throws.

This time Liu Mang played again, and actually started to pass the ball again. Did this guy use two sets of controllers when he was playing and when he was a substitute? One set of passing keys failed, and the other set of shooting keys became passing keys?

It was time for the Nets to attack again. Sure enough, after Kidd made a three-pointer at the beginning, Liu Mang didn't dare to let him go. Kidd did the same thing again, trying to make a fuss with the off-ball pick-and-roll that opened up the space on both sides.

However, Kidd underestimated the defensive awareness of Ratliff, who could win the best defensive player. This time Collins went out to block Prince. It was really difficult for Jefferson to get rid of Prince's defense independently. This rookie was as good as the previous one.

The rookie in his class this season was just as difficult to deal with, and was taller and longer. After using Collins to get rid of Prince, Jefferson cut in to receive the ball, trying to get rid of Ratliff with speed, but!

Ratliff did not come out to defend the pick-and-roll at all! Ratliff, who was extremely aware, stood on the edge of the three-second zone waiting for him to rush in. Ratliff clearly judged that the defense in the previous round was his fault. Jefferson temporarily

He still doesn’t have the ability to shoot long and medium distances, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 22% this season, so this time Ratliff decisively shrinks inside and just doesn’t go out!

When they saw Collins going out for the pick-and-roll while Ratliff stayed on the edge of the three-second zone, both coaches Krueger and Byron Scott couldn't help but nod at Ratliff's defensive awareness.

The Nets' extremely simple positional warfare tactics failed!

Jefferson was only in his second year, and he didn't know what to do when he encountered this situation. He wanted to pass it back to Kidd. At this time, Liu Mang desperately tried to pass Kidd in front of him. If he didn't have enough strength, he actively came to join him.

Seeing this, Sen chose to continue to break through!

When Jefferson rushed to the edge of the three-second zone, Ratliff took advantage of Jefferson and then returned to the reasonable collision zone. Jefferson's speed did not increase, otherwise his physical fitness would be directly deducted.

He has the physical fitness recognized by the league as second only to Carter at the small forward position, but does not have Carter's skills. Jefferson chose to throw up and was completely interfered by Ratliff. It was ironic!

Ratliff picked off the rebound with one hand.

The Nets returned to defense very quickly. When Kidd saw Jefferson's choice, he knew the ball was over and quickly retreated. Attacking by grinding the field is really not the Nets' strong point. Even if Kidd had a three-pointer,

It just has one more option. When the opponent's center has good awareness, such a simple positional attack will be average.

Kidd found that he had indeed underestimated the Hawks! Mainly at the point guard and center positions.

As for the point guard, although Liu Mang sometimes plays illogically, he can make shots and pass them to his teammates. Ratliff is not as good as Ben Wallace in terms of rebounding and impact, but he has tall arms.

Zhan Ben-Wallace doesn't have that. Height and wingspan are the best talents! When defensive awareness and ability are similar, height and wingspan are both advantages!
