The Eagles started the game with a weird fast break.

Aren't you afraid of making mistakes and being hit back? The Rockets didn't understand what the Hawks were thinking.

Players and coaches all feel that the Eagles are too arrogant and proud!

Apart from this, there is no other explanation for what just happened.

Usually in basketball games, after a jump ball, few teams will choose a fast break as the first attack, because it is too easy to be defended.

There are only two options for the opening fast break: drive straight to the basket, or support the ball.

Directly attacking the basket like Liu Mang is the best way, but it is easy to be blocked near the three-point line, or even directly blocked at the midline like Liu Mang just did.

As for the COSCO shot...unless the person who advances in the opening fast break will use the COSCO shot to solve the problem, unless he has a very strong head.

It's too easy to be hit back.

Supporting the pass is not a good choice either. Neither team is in a good position at the beginning. It is too easy to lose the fast break pass and it is easy to be counterattacked.

Therefore, except for Liu Mang's previous use of his own fast break to directly hit the basket, there is almost no other way to start a fast break.

However, it wasn't just the Rockets who didn't understand, Coach Kruger and Stockton on the Eagles' bench also looked at each other in astonishment: What is this bastard disciple doing again?

This is not part of their plan! They want to play small ball, but they have agreed to limit it to defensive counterattacks!

Positional warfare is still fought as it should be fought, step by step as agreed?

It's too much to directly outplay the Warriors than the Suns!

But he actually scored,

Even the hearts of the Eagles players on the field were beating rapidly. McGrady ignored Liu Mang's resentful eyes and almost threw it away just now!

Somehow, when the whole team saw Liu Mang moving, they started moving too!

"Hidden conditions for engine level 5: The more the host's strength is recognized by teammates, the more teammates' offensive choices will be supported by teammates."

While Liu Mang listened to the system prompts, he finally understood that Marshall was not only lacking in strength and not strong enough, but there were also reasons for this.

Obviously, like Nash, even though he failed to show his full strength in the Mavericks, he was also a member of the All-NBA Team and an All-Star. When he went to the Suns, he was already the strongest player on the Suns, so it is appropriate to play around him.

, those players on the Suns combined did not have as many All-Star and All-NBA teams as Nash alone.

And Marshall... is not strong enough, but he still needs to concentrate on the ball, and others ignore him.

However, this also made Liu Mang feel that Nash's years of experience in the Mavericks were not wasted. The qualifications he accumulated in the Mavericks are what allowed him to concentrate on the ball in a team like the Suns with a large number of scorers.

The essential.

The world is really wonderful. Liu Mang figured this out and waited for Sulla to push forward.

The Rockets are very interesting. They spent 4 years and 15 million to sign Bob Sura, who averaged 14 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists after the All-Star break last season. They are not willing to add a few million to forcefully marry someone like Nash, even if it is a positional war.

He is also an All-Star player.

Shoot with confidence, do not pass to Yao Ming, and do not pick and roll with Yao Ming. This is the opinion Liu Mang saw most from Texas basketball forums and domestic basketball forums when he studied Sura before the game.

I didn't expect this to be true. Yao Ming tried his best to keep Kwame Brown behind him in the opening game, but Sura didn't pass the ball and dribbled the ball in front of Liu Mang!

"Hey," Liu Mang called Su La.

Sura was showing off his dribbling because of a Chinese live broadcast. When he was called, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Liu Mang.

Liu Mang raised his eyebrows and said, "Is your idol Kobe?"

"Ah? I entered the NBA earlier than Kobe!" Sura didn't react and suddenly saw McGrady rushing towards him.

"You're double-teaming me?" Sula's heart beat faster instantly. He didn't expect that he would be double-teamed by Liu Mang and McGrady!

After all, he is a guard who averages 5 assists per game. Sulla immediately passed the ball to Jim Jackson who was on the three-point line at a 45-degree angle to his left. Prince rushed towards Jim Jackson the moment Sulla passed the ball.

At this time, Richard Jefferson immediately took the opportunity to cut inside from the bottom corner, but saw Liu Mang blocking him!

The Eagles had long expected Sura's pass. His passes were all straight forward, so the defense rotated very quickly!

In psychology, there is a phenomenon called assimilation. The surrounding environment can easily make a person affected by the environment.

The Hawks' active running and seemingly impatient defense made the Rockets players impatient too.

Jim Jackson's desire to shoot has been suppressed for several years in the Heat. Last season, after the Rockets were liberated, he played a very active role, but it was easy to get caught up. Now he got caught up because of Prince's fierce defense. With one move,

, emergency stop jump shot!

Prince liked this type of player so much. Prince stretched his long arms as hard as he could, and his fingertips touched the thrown ball in the air!

Liu Mang turned around and blocked Richard Jefferson who was rushing in. The rock-solid level 5 trigger! When Richard Jefferson saw Liu Mang's thin body, he couldn't even push it like a weight!

Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace were holding Yao Ming tightly. The ball fell from the left front of the basket without touching the basket. Liu Mang jumped up in front of Juwan Howard.

Get the ball.

Fight back immediately!

It's different from the previous three-pointers in the frontcourt who didn't care about shooting three-pointers and attacking the basket. It's true to counterattack immediately, but the Eagles counterattacked as a whole team!

Liu Mang pushed forward with the ball and rushed into the three-point line. Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace had already crossed the center line.

When Liu Mang rushed to the basket, Sura and Richard Jefferson stood on both sides of Liu Mang. Liu Mang immediately passed the ball to Tracy McGrady, who was waiting at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Liu Mang fully thought that he would get an assist this time! Kwame Brown had already rushed to the three-point line. Even if McGrady couldn't make the shot, if he blocked Richard Jefferson, Kwame Brown could still get it.

Great opportunity to grab offensive rebounds.

Who knows, McGrady didn't shoot... but waited for Yao Ming to rush back, and then made a move to throw the ball towards Kwame Brown, so that Juwan Howard who was following behind had to let go of Rasheed -

Wallace jumped towards Kwame Brown, and Yao Ming also jumped up to interfere with the pass.

But McGrady took the ball back, exactly the same as Liu Mang did at some point, and threw the ball toward the top arc. Rasheed Wallace received the ball and made a three-pointer!

A wide-open three-point shot and a hollow hit!

Tracy McGrady's basketball talent is too high! He has made Liu Mang's pure attack organization more organized! The trace of rationality in this rapid transition of offense and defense brings a great rhythm!

Rasheed Wallace's catching and shooting rhythm was driven by Tracy McGrady!

Liu Mang had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. If he didn't make it, he could still complain. The key is that he made it!

The young man I promised to teach this damn first-round virgin how to play small ball?

This guy actually plays better than me!

I just hung out with the coaching staff for a day and watched a few Suns video clips...

I should have known better not to play with this guy!

McGrady got two assists as soon as he came up. He twisted his small waist and ran back. He felt as happy as if he had scored 60 points.

Not only did Maddie not feel embarrassed about Liu Mang's resentful look, she actually found it quite interesting.

Finally this guy was defeated.

Taking advantage of Liu Mang's threat to organize the attack in the second pass, the ball holding rate has become lower, but the efficiency of organizing the offense has become higher!

…

The situation on the court was completely beyond the Rockets' expectations. They didn't expect it to turn out like this!

Is this still the same Eagles team?

The Eagles' past comebacks always followed a certain pattern, which was nothing more than the triangle offense, defensive counterattacks, Princeton, etc. The most outrageous thing was the cavalry tactics.

But now, the Hawks are playing like the Suns, and have two passers like Nash!

One is responsible for promoting the rhythm, and the other is responsible for organizing the offense. The key is, what is the meaning of defense? Taking the initiative to expose defensive flaws, the Rockets are not that strong in seizing opportunities. It is not that they have no scorers, from Sula to Yao Ming, five

Everyone has very good scoring ability, but there is no real playmaker who can take full advantage of the defensive flaws exposed by the Eagles. Instead, the Eagles play hastily because of the defensive flaws, and most of the time they are exploited by the Eagles.

Now, if there is a slight chance, Sura, Jim Jackson, and Juwan Howard, the three players who want data, will take action irrationally. They cannot see through the Eagles' defensive goals like the core players do. They all think they have a chance.

Just throw it away, and the Eagles' outside pressure rotation defense was extremely ineffective!

The Eagles' key defense is Yao Ming and Richard Jefferson. It seems to be blocking the outside line. In fact, they are ready to shrink the five-man team at any time, but this kind of defense is obviously very deliberate. Sura, Jim

-Jackson, Juwan Howard, but the three of them can't tell!

Of course, if they could judge this, they wouldn't be sold off by the team again and again.

Richard Jefferson and Yao Ming were unable to catch the ball for a long time and had to turn back and run with the Hawks. Richard Jefferson was okay, but Yao Ming was not good. After playing for a few minutes, he was switched by the fast-paced offense and defense.

So tired.

Small ball tactics are not only for scoring, but also for wearing down the opponent's big man!

When the official timeout came in the first quarter, in addition to two rebounds and a tip-in, Yao Ming basically didn't catch the ball! Instead, he ran around for most of the day.

16 to 7, except for Jim Jackson's three-pointer, Yao Ming's tip-in, Richard Jefferson's rush for the rebound causing Liu Mang to foul and hit two free throws, the Rockets shot 2 of 11 from the field.
