Originally, Boozer was put in the starting lineup, and Rasheed Wallace played off the bench, mainly for Liu Mang and Boozer to cooperate, and Korver had an open opportunity to shoot three points.

Just like in the double-brake tactic, Stockton and Boozer are the core of the tactic, but the core tactic is for Liu Mang's shooting service, Korver was entrusted with the important task in this game, and Coach Kruger hopes that different things will make the opponent unguardable.

But I didn't expect that Korver came up and hit two irons in a row, and the rhythm was completely different from what I expected.

originally wanted to reduce the burden on Stockton, but there was no way, Coach Kruger could only replace Korver in advance and replace Stockton in advance, and the others did not change, but Liu Mang went to play scoring guard.

After the pause, the Hawks attacked, 2-8, which was not a big point difference, and Coach Kruger made an early substitution, just because Korver was playing too badly, so Korver was slow on the sidelines and adjusted.

Liu Mang received Boozer's serve and advanced to the front court together, and immediately passed the ball to Stockton when he arrived in the front court.

Liu Mang took Christie to cut into the basket, this is the most common running position in the Hawks' double-bad tactics, simple and rough, Liu Mang took advantage of the basket under Ratliff's block, quickly ran out of the left side of the basket, at the same time, Stockton and Boozer blocked and dismantled, and Boozer, who was disassembled after the block, quickly cut to the basket and blocked Christie, who was just about to bypass Ratliff to chase Liu Mang.

Liu Mang's side blocked Christie with Ratliff and Boozer successively, and then came out to the top arc, Peja originally wanted to go over to make up for the defense, but Rahim immediately stretched out his hand to ask for the ball, Peja didn't dare to leave, Stockton threw the ball to Liu Mang from the gap between Bibi and Webb at the moment when Liu Mang ran to the top arc, and Liu Mang received the ball in the top arc and shot it for three points......

I don't hit either!

The ball bounced far away and was just picked up by Webb, who pounced on and tried to defend Liu Mang.

Webb grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately pushed the counterattack, Liu Mang didn't throw in and wanted to go up to force the grab, but was given a flexible back dribble by Weber!

It's in the background!

Liu Mang tried to steal and was shaken off!

Webb shook his slightly rich body and counterattacked with a dragon grandfather-style layup to score two points!

Coach Kruger wanted to start playing the position and grinding slowly, and then the rhythm changed for the first time after Stockton came up, and in the second quarter, Muhammad and Kwame Brown and Barnes came up on the bench, plus Liu Mang and Rahim, and defended in the second quarter, using various rhythm changes to deal with the Kings.

But I didn't expect Korver to be so inaccurate, the Hawks' early substitutions not only did not allow the Kings to be disrupted by the changed rhythm, but the Hawks' own rhythm was disrupted!

In the next few offenses, the Hawks gave Liu Mang the ball, just like Liu Mang tried to make the ball for Korver at the beginning, and Liu Mang got a similar opportunity to shoot in the open position, but Liu Mang came back from the pause, how to shoot the ball and how to shoot it was not strong, which was different from the ball-holding attack prepared at the beginning, and Stockton came up, he must not be simply used as a pure pitcher, his ability to run is not nothing, but he does not have that physical strength, so he played a very different rhythm from the usual start, and hit the iron again and again after coming up.

If it weren't for Boozer's rebounding ability, and after coming up, he actively rushed to grab offensive rebounds and make up for the basket, the Hawks would have eaten eggs on the offensive end!

After more than five minutes, the Hawks only scored 6 points, and the Kings played a wave of 15-6 starts, and they were about to fall behind by 10 points, and the Hawks had to call a timeout in a row.

……

Liu Mang returned to the sidelines, feeling that suddenly there was no ball, and he really couldn't play!

It's really easier to get better shooting opportunities when playing tactics, and if you can shoot in the open position, there are few people who will prefer to shoot against the defense, and the shot in the open position is definitely more accurate than the shot against the defense, even if that person shoots accurately against the defense, try to let him shoot in the open position, and he will definitely become more accurate.

But playing tactics and running shots, there is a very key problem, that is, the shooting is not accurate, then there is really no way!

There is no chance to make fouls, if you can't shoot, you really can't shoot, and tactical running, you always need teammates' off-ball blocking and dismantling, etc., so the rebounding advantage of the original inside combination of Rahim, Boozer, and Ratlif is still relatively obvious, but because of helping Liu Mang block and dismantle, Ratliff and Rahim's offensive rebounding advantage can't be played.

At the beginning, Liu Mang made 0 of 4 three-pointers, 0 of 3 points for two long points, and played seven irons in a row at the beginning!

Iron striking is not a big problem, if you can prevent it, it doesn't matter if you can defend the opponent more iron, the key thing is that the Eagles can't defend it either! The opening game completely fell into the rhythm of the Kings.

In the past, Liu Mang didn't particularly understand how there would be twenty or thirty three-pointers in a single game that didn't score, and throwing mid-range shots that could throw nearly 40 in a game and not score.

Now he understands that this kind of thing is really possible when the opponent is strong enough and his own rhythm is still disrupted.

Liu Mang thought the coaching staff would readjust the tactics back.

It's just that Coach Kruger has his own arrangements this time and did not accept Liu Mang's suggestion to change back to singles play.

It's not that I'm worried that the other players will be unhappy, but that Coach Kruger feels that Liu Mang's suggestion is inappropriate this time!

A wrong move, step by step, Coach Kruger now also feels that the substitution is a bit hasty, although Korver's performance is not good, but at least the team's rhythm is right, and now the rhythm changes so much that his side feels abrupt.

The importance of a good coach is reflected in this moment.

If you make the wrong substitution choice, just let him go wrong.

Liu Mang thought that he was going to change back to playing with the ball, but he didn't expect that during the timeout, Coach Krueger just replaced Ratlif with Kwame Brown to indicate that the tactics continued.

……

On the Hawks' side, Stockton, Liu Mang, Rahim, Boozer, and Kwame Brown played.

There are no substitutions on the Kings side, and it's not time for substitutions yet, and Adelman is not someone who likes to use substitutes.

After the timeout, the Hawks attacked, and Stockton continued to attack with the ball, opening up the pick-and-roll with Boozer.

Liu Mang cut in and went around from the bottom line, Christie already had a way to deal with Liu Mang's running and the Eagles' blocking, and after being blocked by Kwame Brown, he did not continue to squeeze and chase Liu Mang, but retreated, bypassing from the free throw line, trying to block Liu Mang's running end.

Liu Mang has been paying attention to his opponent here, and found that Christie did not come to chase him, he was very puzzled, but he reacted quickly and immediately stopped at the bottom line.

Liu Mang's mid-range jump shot from the bottom line!

Finally, after hitting seven irons in a row and the Eagles did not score a regular offense for five consecutive minutes, Liu Mang's mid-range shot hit the ball!

After scoring the goal, Liu Mang suddenly felt very good, as if the time had come.

The offense went in, making the defense more motivated as well.

The main thing is that there is no throw, and there is no chance for the Kings to counterattack, and the Kings have scored 15 points, 9 of which are scored during the counterattack or when playing the connecting section, and the real offensive efficiency of the position is not so high, that is, the normal level.

After the Kings fell into the position, the offensive efficiency really returned to normal, Webb's low-post singles, and he wanted to rely on his heavier body to play, but Boozer tonnage was more than him, and Webber's old man hooked his hands.

Looking back, Liu Mang arrived at the frontcourt, suddenly stopped when he cut in the air, and retreated to bypass Stockton and Boozer, who were blocking and dismantling, Stockton threw the ball to Liu Mang in the process of detouring, and then turned around to block Christie, and the cooperation was quite tacit.

Liu Mang received the ball and ran a step to pull up the middle distance shot, and he also hit!

After returning from the timeout, the Eagles chased 4 points in a row!

10 to 15, the difference is only 5 points!

Coach Kruger's judgment this time is quite correct!

The original rhythm of the Eagles was disrupted, messed up the game time for more than four minutes, and the players on the field just found a little feeling, if they made a panicked substitution, in exchange for the style of play that let Liu Mang hold the ball, just lasted to the original rotation lineup, and the adjusted Liu Mang would once again enter that feeling of disobedience.

Because of this time, it was almost the time for the Eagles to change in six or seven minutes, and because Liu Mang entered the no-ball style of play in advance, although he was not adaptable, it also accelerated the time for Liu Mang to enter the rhythm of the no-ball play.

This time, Coach Kruger's choice was wrong, and he simply made a mistake to the end, but the choice became correct, and it was beyond the expectations of the players on both sides! Liu Mang blended in, which surprised and delighted the Eagles, and then actively played a great offensive and defensive performance.

The Kings didn't expect the Hawks to go all the way to the end, they all thought that Liu Mang was going to play the ball offense again, Adelman thought so, and the players thought so too, although Christie judged that Liu Mang still had to play without the ball after starting to defend, but when he paused, he also thought that Liu Mang was going to play with the ball.

This time the tactical change, the Eagles' side has a clear victory!

The Hawks can shoot and reduce the number of counterattacks after the Kings grab defensive rebounds, and the Hawks' defense directly improves a notch, allowing the Kings' offense to return to normal from the beginning of the game, which is already a very good defense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks relied on Liu Mang's continuous shots to draw the defense over, and Stockton began the offensive organization of the whole team, Boozer's open cut or mid-range shot, Raheem's mid-range open shot, Kwame Brown's offensive basket, and Stockton's own blocking and pick-and-roll shots from time to time.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks were 24-30, with a difference of only 6 points, which was still under control!
