Chapter 1318 1317. Normal and Abnormal (Buddhist Update 15)
Milicic played better than last season.
The main reason is to have better teammates and improve your own strength.
Richard Jefferson regained possession of teammates who can pass the ball high and attract defenses. He grasped the opportunities of cutting and three-pointers very well. When the Eagles focused on the cooperation of TJ-Ford and Milicic, Richard Jefferson made good use of the fact that the Eagles were not so strict with him. He did a good job of cutting and running. He practiced next to Kidd and Yao Ming.
Joe Johnson didn't have much off-the-ball performance. The Raptors didn't run and play, and he didn't have the opportunity to run directly to the frontcourt to catch the ball and shoot, but his shooting ability stood alone and no one dared to let him go.
Bargnani has done a good job with his own strengths, that is, three-pointers and mid-range shots. He is very good at using his strengths in regular time. A playoff team that was originally in the playoffs and the third in the East in the original time and space.
Bargnani is just not outstanding, but he is not good either. He is considered the kind of champion who has no sense of existence.
As the No. [-] pick, Bargnani's ability to attract defenders is also enough. After making two shots, the Eagles dare not let him go.
Liu Mang was replaced after playing for more than eight minutes, and found that there was really no way to limit Milicic's pass!At least the strategies I wanted before today's game, the effect is so-so.
The teammates have improved, and Milicic's performance also gives people a feeling of being reborn.
What’s more, you can’t defend with your hands beyond the free throw line. There is no defense for three seconds. The Eagles don’t dare to squat under the basket for too long when they want to shoot bad three-pointers from the opponent and when the cutting players run inside the three-point line.
That kind of feeling is like when Gasol was placed in the Grizzlies, he couldn't win a playoff game, but after his partner became Kobe, he immediately became the core center of the championship team.
And the characteristic of the Raptors team is that almost everyone can pass the ball. Richard Jefferson averaged 4 assists per game when he was partnered with Yao Ming.
But when Liu Mang went down, the score was ahead!
Liu Mang scored 8 points and 6 assists in 3 minutes. He performed very well. He started off very well. He made 4 of 2 shots, made a three-pointer, and scored 2+1 when he was flanked by the opponent on a breakthrough.
Compared with the offense, the Raptors' defense is very poor. It is not the defense that a strong team should have. A strong team's defense can at most have one cash machine, and the other four make up. The Raptors have two!
In addition, there is not a very good defensive system, relying on Richard Jefferson and Milicic to make up people. Joe Johnson can't defend McGrady himself, so there is no chance to make up others.
In addition, Liu Mang had a clear purpose today, commanding tactics like a real point guard, mobilizing the enthusiasm of his teammates, and sending out passes. Driven by Liu Mang, the Eagles had 8 assists in the first 5 minutes of the first quarter. In addition to Liu Mang's own six points in singles, and McGrady's singles turn and turn, the Hawks led by 8 points 20-17.
Liu Mang still has an advantage when he is off the field.
In the rotation stage, the Hawks no longer kept at least two of the three Eagles on the field as before, and replaced Rondo, Jason Terry, Battier, David Lee, and Rasheed Wallace.
For the Raptors, the three major stars continued to stay on the court. Milicic moved to the power forward position and replaced Nesterovic, who was abandoned by the Spurs, as center forward. The point guard position was replaced by Darrick Martin, a 12-year career veteran.
……
"Ace, don't rush, take your time, we have plenty of time to adjust..." Coach Kruger reassured Liu Mang when he heard that Liu Mang wanted to be replaced earlier.
After entering the rotation lineup, Liu Mang started to feel pain...
At the end of the first quarter, the rotation lineup went up to play for 2 minutes, and the score was overtaken. The game was really... so-so, mainly because the opponent's three stars were there. Richard Jefferson had Battier's defense, and his play was average. But Joe Johnson started to score. When Kwame Brown was away, Milicic went inside and became a big threat, creating a good scoring opportunity for Joe Johnson.
In fact, the current rotation of the Eagles is the normal rotation of a strong team. In the past three seasons, except for the second year, the first year and the third year, they were too obsessed with the regular season record, and wanted to let the players rest, so they came up with a rotation. The league does not want such a situation, because the Eagles have many stars.
For teams with a relatively weak core lineup, what they have to do is to use the main lineup to overtake the score or establish an advantage when the opponent rotates the lineup, so as to have a chance to compete with the opponent.
And strong teams often start to play the advantage, and then the players can rest for a while.
The Eagles dared to fight like that in the past three years because of their good rotation and few injuries, but the core lineup of the Eagles has not changed much. The Mihawks are still the Mihawks, and Kwame Brown and Prince have played nearly a hundred games in the past two years. Even if there have been no major injuries, the coaching staff dare not bet.
So let Liu Mang relax and train the substitute lineup.
The rest of the championship teams are filling in the pits by starting from the bench. Like the Eagles, they have won at least 70 times twice in the past three years, and the worst year was 68 wins.
There are many examples of large-scale injuries of the defending champion in NBA history.
Therefore, the Eagles coaching staff began to strictly control the playing time of the players. Anyway, they lost the first game, so they don't have to care about the opening streak. There is no opening streak.
In addition to the starting lineup, the Eagles now have Jason Terry and Battier as substitutes. Korver is also good, mainly because he has one strong point - three-pointers.
However, Korver relies on his teammates to pass the ball and the team system. Now the new teammates are not so tacit with the tactical cooperation, and their performance is average when they are playing off the bench.
Rasheed Wallace is far worse than last year. Last year, he was barely a first-class star. Veterans after the age of 30, except for a very few stars, most of them have obvious and huge declines after one summer.
David Lee's skills are getting better and better, but he lacks experience. It's pretty cool to beat the opponent's water dispenser administrator, but he's still a bit short of the rotation of the opponent's main insiders, and it takes time to accumulate experience.
If you count Jason Terry, Battier, and Rasheed Wallace, the Eagles can rotate at most eight people, and the physical pressure will be great.
It's impossible for the Eagles to let the starters play with the sixth man for more than 40 minutes every game. It doesn't matter to Liu Mang, but the others...
And the coaching staff will not let Liu Mang play for such a long time. Even if they have to use the stars to death, they don’t want to use Liu Mang to death now. They would rather let Tracy McGrady and Jason Terry fight more, and let Liu Mang play more easily and play less time, especially after Liu Mang said that he will defend the opponent’s second offensive point. Prince and Battier will rotate to defend the first offensive point.
Although it was cruel, the Hawks coaching staff made a decision that was in the interests of the team. They would rather put the other main players to death, and let Liu Mang take more rest in the regular season after being the MVP of the Finals for three consecutive years.
Liu Mang also knew that this was part of the team's plan. Even if he wasn't worried about injuries, he still had to worry about the physical fitness of a few old teammates. He was just used to the previous rotation, and now he was a little uncomfortable.
Just let it be like this, just sit on the sidelines, help your teammates, try all ideas, and see if you can limit Milicic's more coquettish passes in the NBA than in the international arena!
It’s a bit late, the next chapter will be Chinese New Year before [-]:[-] p.m., and I’m very busy. For the remaining four chapters in the evening, I will write the detailed outline when I have time in the afternoon.
