Chapter 545

A three-pointer was scored in the opening game, Liu Mang clapped his hands and signaled his teammates not to rush, take your time, and just defend well next time.

The Eagles attacked, Liu Mang advanced to the top of the arc to hold the ball, directed Rahim to the left side of the three-second zone and Muhammad covered and ran, and then Muhammad went around from the baseline to bring Kenyon Martin Beyond the three-second zone on the right side of the basket, Ratliff mentioned the free throw line. Liu Mang handed the ball to Ratliff. Kidd reacted very quickly, bypassing Raheem and following Liu Mang. Liu Mang ran to the bottom corner on the right, and brought Kenyon Martin's attention to the bottom corner. Given Liu Mang's off-ball pick-and-roll posture, Liu Mang used his performance as the leading scorer in the series to open up the interior space.

Prince opened the air at a 45-degree angle on the left, Raheem took advantage of the opportunity to press Richard Jefferson under the basket, and Ratliff slid the ball to the basket and leaned against Richard- Raheem of Jefferson!

Raheem punched Richard Jefferson, and Jason Collins quickly shrank from the free throw line to double-team Raheem. At this time, Kidd yelled "don't move" and told Jason Collins not to shrink, but It was too late, Raheem passed back to the middle, Ratliff rushed to the basket to receive the ball, knocked Jason Collins away with his weight, and smashed the ball into the basket!

Kidd glared at Jason Collins angrily, why are all his center forwards at this level?

Consciously, the ability can't keep up.

A center forward with barely enough ability, but with such poor consciousness.

From the Eagles' running position to the final position, Kidd could tell right away that the Eagles were playing the triangle offense that the Eastern team used in the All-Star Weekend!

It's just a little modification, but the three offensive points of Raheem, Ratliff, and Liu Mang are very clear, but Kidd didn't realize it at the beginning, and he saw the clues after he settled down.

Richard Jefferson had already put pressure on Raheem with this ball. Even if Raheem scored, it was just a layup.

And Jason Collins went to double-team Raheem, Ratliff rushed in and dunked directly, Kenyon Martin was still with Kidd and was ready to deal with the off-ball pick-and-roll from Liu Mang and Muhammad at any time. It was too late to defend, so he could only watch Ratliff dunk.

At the beginning, a big center who was not good at attacking made a dunk, which brought a huge boost to the morale of the Eagles.

The Hawks immediately returned to defense after scoring, and Ratliff's dunk caused the Nets fans to boo quickly.

Jason Collins felt Kidd's anger, and quickly picked it up and sent it to Kidd. Kidd advanced to the frontcourt. Kidd came to the frontcourt and saw Liu Mang defending him, and called Kenyon Martin to come out to cover.

While the Eagles were focusing on Kidd, on the other side Richard Jefferson ran out of a gap through Jason Collins' pick-and-roll.

When Raheem, Liu Mang, and Prince were all focused on Kidd, he suddenly passed in the middle of the pick-and-roll, and passed it to Richard Jefferson who cut in at a 45-degree angle on the right!

The threat brought by Kidd's 34 points in the last game and Kenyon Martin's own threat, this game played from the outside, focused the Eagles' attention on the top arc, Richard Jefferson Rush to the basket and score two points.

The Nets beat the Eagles 5-2! Leading the start!

It was the Eagles offense again, and they were not affected by the opponent's two consecutive goals in the opening game. They didn't deliberately slow down the tempo, and avoided entering the situation of grinding defense in the first two games of the series. The first and second games were played. After that, the defense started to grind down. The first game was okay, Liu Mang broke out in the third quarter, and the second game completely lost control. It depends on which side is more lucky to score two goals.

Obviously, the Nets, which have averaged close to 6 points per game for two consecutive seasons relying on the average points per game in the middle and lower reaches of the league in the past two years, prefer the rhythm of grinding.

On the contrary, it is the third and fourth games that seem to have a big difference in points. Even if the fourth game is lost, it is only because Kidd is unexpectedly accurate, and the overall strategy is still fine.

Therefore, from the very beginning of this game, the Eagles decided to stick to their own rhythm, play a game with balanced offense and defense, and not let the rhythm of the game get out of control.

The Nets retreated quickly, saying something to their teammates while retreating from Kidd.

Liu Mang pushed forward, still using the same tactic, Ratliff pulled the ball to the free throw line, Liu Mang handed the ball to Ratliff, and he cut into the basket empty-handed, Raheem gave Liu Mang a delay to stop Kidd, wanting to Liu Mang could have taken Kenyon Martin away better, but Kidd stopped next to Raheem. Richard Jefferson immediately switched defenses and followed Liu Mang to the bottom corner.

Richard Jefferson's footsteps are much faster than Kidd's, and he is close to Liu Mang, and his height and weight are barely enough to withstand Muhammad's air cuts. Kenyon Martin can also try to chase off the ball Liu Mang, the two of them may shrink into the inside line at any time.

Kidd resisted Raheem, not to mention, he was really better than Richard Jefferson. In just one round, Kidd found a way to deal with Raheem's inside triangle attack, which was very powerful.

But why is the triangle offense so unsolvable?

Because this tactic is not to kill, but to have enough choices, Liu Mang took Richard Jefferson to the top arc, Ratliff passed the ball back to Liu Mang, and then entered the basket by himself, pulling Sim brought Kidd to the bottom line on the left, Prince ran to the bottom corner on the right, and Muhammad also returned to the bottom line and was ready to hit the basket at any time, opening the top arc space to Liu Mang!

Back to the singles tactics again, and the defender in front of Liu Mang changed from Kidd, who was the best defensive first team, to the second-year Richard Jefferson who is still playing with his body!

Richard Jefferson looked at Liu Mang with a sly smile on his face, and he was stunned, why did he face this guy again! Isn't this guy opening up the space! Boss Kidd, it's different from what you said!

Liu Mang continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, and Richard Jefferson's head immediately appeared in the head of Liu Mang's breakthrough in the previous few games, and took a step back, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and wanted to shoot!

Richard Jefferson rushed back and took off to block the shot!

But Liu Mang's jumping action was abruptly withdrawn, and when Richard Jefferson pounced on him, he bumped into Richard Jefferson and let out a wailing...

"Beep..."

The referee whistles, Richard Jefferson shoots a foul!

Richard Jefferson looked at Liu Mang, who patted his wrinkled jersey on his chest, and felt very aggrieved: You screamed so miserably, it seemed like something happened to you, you didn't hit you before you hit him. Started calling! If you want to call out, it is I who call out!

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, heaved a sigh of relief, and made a free throw.

Two of three free throws were made, the first free throw was ironed, and the last two hits were not bad. Two points were scored and the score became 4 to 5.

It was the Nets attack again, the referee sent the ball to Richard Jefferson, Richard Jefferson sent it to Kidd, and Kidd received the ball and advanced it to the frontcourt.

Richard Jefferson and Kittles are on the left side of the basket. On the other side, Jason Collins screens Kenyon Martin to delay Muhammad. Kenyon Martin comes to the top arc, Kidd and Kenyon Martin pick and roll. At this time, Kidd took the ball and took a step across. Liu Mang bypassed the screen perfectly when Muhammad was blocked and could not switch to the delay immediately, and still blocked Kidd. in front of.

Kidd immediately dribbled a step forward, and suddenly stopped and changed direction. Liu Mang hurried to keep up, but was blocked by Kenyon Martin again!

Kidd and Kenyon - Martin continuous pick and roll!

Kenyon Martin's pick-and-roll, this blocked the person is really solid, don't look short, but the body is wide!

Muhammad finally made a save at this time, but it was too late. Kidd continued the fiery touch of the previous game and hit a mid-range shot.

Kidd's rhythm is well grasped. The Nets played a 7-4 in the opening game, leading the Eagles by three points!

Kidd still feels so good in mid-range shooting today. The Eagles felt the pressure. Liu Mang quickly rushed over with the ball in the backcourt, trying to disrupt the rhythm and prevent the Nets from falling into position. The pick and roll situation.

Liu Mang rushed all the way to the frontcourt with the ball, joined before Kidd was about to post it, and rushed to the basket with all his brains, regardless of tactics.

This kind of abruptness will make the tactics difficult to play, but the Nets are ready to defend against the Eagles' triangle offense and the defense has also become chaotic. At the edge of the second zone, the Nets didn't expect Liu Mang to suddenly speed up and cooperate with each other. Kenyon Martin and Jason Collins attacked together.

At this time, Rahim took advantage of Muhammad's off-ball pick-and-roll and rushed straight to the basket. Liu Mang passed the ball to Rahim, and Rahim made a flying throw...

It's so hard!

Turned around from the basket and fell down.

The Nets made a mistake and were shrunk to the basket by Liu Mang, and they happened to have the best chance to rebound!

Kidd judged the rebound and grabbed the defensive rebound!

Kidd picks off the rebound, and that's a big deal! The Eagles hurried back to the defense, but Richard Jefferson, who was blocked by Muhammad just now, was about to go down!

Prince chased with his life, but Kittles also made a fast break on the other side. Kidd accurately delivered the ball to Kittles, and Prince had to chase Kittles. Kittles Si points to Richard - Jefferson, Richard - Jefferson rushed to the basket with both hands to dunk the ball into the basket.

Richard - Jefferson's dunk helped the Nets rewrite the score to 9 to 4, and the Nets led the Hawks by 5 points.

The Nets started fiercely, forcing the Eagles to call a timeout first.

The offensive end is not a problem. The Eagles' offense is not bad, but it seems that the Nets' shooting is on the light, especially Kidd, which is really unacceptable.

A good base did not attack, but suddenly started to attack!

The Eagles emphasized the air cuts on both sides of the Nets and the defense of Kidd's mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll.

...

After a timeout, the Eagles had the ball and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt.

The timeout is not a separate timeout for the Eagles. The Nets also have time to make defensive adjustments to the Eagles' triangle offense.

On the Nets' side, there was obviously a feeling that the defense was going to expand. Jason Collins was left under the basket to double-team anyone who played low singles, and Kenyon Martin was in a defensive posture.

Seeing Ratliff facing Jason Collins alone, Jason Collins is standing directly under the basket. Indeed, this position is good for defending anyone who falls low, but Kenyon Martin is in a zone defense position. Almost in a parallel position with Muhammad, it is indeed a good defensive position...

So, Liu Mang met Kidd who jumped up, and sent a lob to the basket. Ratliff received the ball and turned around and threw a small hook to hit it easily.

Kidd saw that Ratliff received the ball and scored easily, only to realize that the biggest problem with their defense was that Ratliff was in a very good position, directly stepping on the arc of the reasonable collision zone to receive the ball. , and no one is double-teaming, for a strong seven-foot center, it is simply a bonus!

No matter how good this defense is, there are always loopholes. The Nets put too much emphasis on defending against the Eagles' triangle offense, but the Eagles don't just play the triangle offense. This is just after watching the Lakers' play in last year's finals. Just imitate it.

However, Kidd really admired Liu Mang for being able to discover the loopholes in his own defense in the first place. He turned around and glanced at Liu Mang who was retreating. !

Liu Mang retreated back to the defense. While returning to the defense, the right hand that had just passed the ball just showed a sword finger, and tapped Kidd on the temple with his mouth curled up and a playful expression.

Kidd felt that his IQ had been violated!
