850. A leap on the defensive end
On the Bulls' side, Hinrich, Duhon, Roel Deng, Antonio Davis, and Eddie Curry started the game.
After coming to the center circle, Eddie Curry sprayed at Kwame Brown: "What are you doing so cool, parallel goods." ”
Eddie Curry was upset with Kwame Brown's look of not taking them seriously.
The guy really asked, and said trash talk, and Kwame Brown is now immune to the word "parallel trade", especially to these people in the same class, because he is now the best mixed person, and treats these people as jealous of not being able to eat grapes.
Kwame Brown remembered what Liu Mang said when he asked him to encounter this situation, leaned closer to Eddie Curry, and said, "Ace is very angry, and the consequences are serious. ”
"Watts?"
"Calm down, two."
Eddie Curry also wanted to ask what this meant, the referee thought they were arguing, the scene was too noisy, Kwame Brown approached what Eddie Curry said, and the referee next to him didn't hear the content, but because the two teams were now hyped up by the media "fight", the referee subconsciously thought that the two were choking each other, and immediately warned the two and separated the two.
Eddie Curry couldn't help but look at Liu Mang when he saw the playful expression on Kwame Brown's face, and it happened that Liu Mang was also looking at him, and Eddie Curry saw Liu Mang's eyes as if he was looking at a dead man.
"This bunch ......" Eddie Curry had that palpitating feeling again.
Liu Mang's goal has been achieved, giving the other party psychological hints, now it has no effect, it may make the other party more jealous of him, but if even the other party is jealous of him and does not win him, then the effect of this psychological suggestion will be highlighted......
……
The referee saw that the two teams were standing OK, pointed to the sides, blew the whistle for the start of the game, and threw the ball into the air.
Kwame Brown won the jump ball from Eddie Curry's head by a clear margin.
"Retreat!" Very rarely, Eddie Curry yelled at his teammates to step back and run back as soon as he landed.
The rest of the Bulls saw that Eddie Curry was so active in defense, and felt that Eddie Curry had changed when he met the Hawks, and secretly sighed that he really needed a strong opponent to make Eddie Curry "serious" and make them feel more excited - this fat man is still saved, but ordinary opponents can't make him "serious", just like playing O'Neal, Eddie Curry has never been instigated, and the two almost explode each other in position, so Eddie Curry has the nickname of Little Shark.
The serious Eddie Curry drove the Bulls and quickly stepped back into place.
After Liu Mang received the ball, he immediately passed it to Maddie, Liu Mang rushed directly to the front court, the Bulls' defense adjusted quickly, Hinrich defended in place, and waited for Liu Mang to rush to the front court and blocked it, Liu Mang quickly pulled a sideways, Rasheed Wallace came up to block Hinrich, Liu Mang's speed exploded, Antonio Davis's supplementary defense did not work at all, and Rohr Deng had already made up the defense very quickly, but Liu Mang's speed bonus brought by level 5 of the blocking master, Liu Mang directly broke 100 speeds, and went straight to the basket from the side of Rohr Deng.
Maddie's pass was delivered to Liu Mang in time.
Liu Mang cut to the free throw line to receive the ball, straight to the basket, Eddie Curry actively came up to make up for the defense, Liu Mang grabbed the ball with his right hand and jumped up against Eddie Curry, and threw his right hand diagonally behind him, Eddie Curry, who was originally very positive today and was made more positive by Kwame Brown's words, hurriedly pounced on Kwame Brown who rushed in, but pounced and didn't see the ball!
Liu Mang took the ball back in the air, switched to his left hand, raised his left hand from the bottom to the top, and hit an easy layup.
The finishing ability under the basket that fights left and right is getting stronger and stronger, and when he encounters Eddie Curry, who is motivated but has never defended well and has no defensive experience, he easily plays the opponent.
It is a bad thing that the other party's enthusiasm becomes stronger, but sometimes, it can also be used well, Liu Mang is best at using the other party's loopholes in this aspect, mainly because their physical fitness is much better than that of the other party.
The offense and defense switched, Liu Mang quickly retreated after scoring the goal, and the rest of the Eagles had already retreated when Liu Mang threw the ball to the basket, which was very decisive.
After the Bulls arrived in the frontcourt, they were stared at by the Hawks' single defense, Liu Mang went up to post the defense after Xinrich came over, and constantly gave physical contact, Xinrich met Liu Mang every time he choked enough, but he protected the ball very well, and he did not panic.
Originally, Hinrich wanted to find a block, but seeing Eddie Curry being very active in the interior at the beginning of the game, and stuck Kwame Brown behind him, Hinrich was overjoyed and hoisted the ball to Eddie Curry.
Eddie Curry is very confident, very confident, since the last time he beat the Hawks, the news he got from his agent is that the Bulls and his team have been more active in negotiating contract extensions, and now Ace Curry wants to speed up contract extension negotiations, so when the Hawks play very seriously and positively, they are targeted by Kwame Brown and Liu Mang, and they are more active in asking for the ball.
Kwame Brown tried his best to play against Eddie Curry and make it more difficult for the opponent to get the ball, but he still didn't get stuck, and Eddie Curry was asked to get the ball in position.
At the same time as Eddie Curry received the ball, Rashid Wallace let go of Antonio Davis to go up to the bag, and Eddie Curry immediately distributed the ball to Antonio Davis in the left mid-range, this guy has a mid-range shot!
As soon as Antonio Davis received the ball, Liu Mang was already in place, Antonio Davis was taken aback, the opponent's defensive rotation was too fast today!
Fortunately, Antonio Davis reacted in time, raised the ball and was not slapped by Liu Mang's hand, and quickly passed to the top arc.
As soon as Hinrich received the ball, Maddie blocked it, Hinrich passed it to Dujon, and Rasheed Wallace had already expanded out from the inside to make up for Dujon!
Everything was as expected, and in fact, it was exactly the defensive rotation that the Eagles had anticipated.
After playing the Bulls once, the Hawks already have an impression of the Bulls' inside and outside passes, plus playing the Bulls and Mavericks once in a row, the Hawks have also learned something on their own side, and the defensive rotation has become more organized.
Pressed by the Hawks, the Bulls' offensive time was less than 10 seconds left, and Rohr Deng ran out to ask for the ball, and Hinrich Ma passed to Roel Deng, the starting outside singles point.
Rohr Deng faced Prince, two false shakes had no effect, Prince was too calm, so calm that Roel Deng wanted to pass the ball, but he was the strongest single point in the starters except for Eddie Curry, and there was no chance to shoot directly, Roel Deng forced his head to the inside.
Quite smoothly rushed from the bottom line to a position close to the bottom line! Luo Deng himself was surprised, and when he reached the middle distance of the baseline, Luo Deng turned over and made a jumper!
It's what he does best......
As soon as I jumped and grabbed the ball to my chest, before I reached my neck, I was pressed on the ball by a hand that stretched out from behind diagonally!
Prince deliberately let Rohr Deng burst to the bottom line, and formed a flank attack with Liu Mang!
The two have been partners for so long, Liu Mang and Prince's defensive tacit understanding is so good, there is no hint, Liu Mang knows the other party's intentions, and quietly when Luo Er Deng rushed to the bottom line with his back to him, when Luo Er Deng turned around, Liu Mang's evil big hand stretched out, and the accurate block!
Prince grabbed the ball and immediately passed it to Maddie, who ran back to the free throw line, and Liu Mang was already about to go down.
The Bulls retreated quickly and chased after Liu Mang.
Liu Mang rushed to the front court and received Maddie's hanging ball, and immediately took three steps after entering the three-point line, grabbed the ball and threw it to the right side.
Hinrich and Du Hong, who came back from chasing the defense, were "not fooled", and felt that Liu Mang was going to play fake fax throwing again, but Liu Mang really passed this time, threw the ball to the right back, and Kwame Brown, who rushed over, received the ball and jumped directly, and glided with both hands at a distance of one step within the free throw line!
It's so fast! That's not the point, the point is that it's too jumpy!
The reason why Du Hong and Hinrich feel that Liu Mang is trying to trick them into fake fax shooting is because Kwame Brown just entered the three-point line, even if Kwame Brown is fast, at most he will go to the free throw line, Liu Mang can block them if he passes, and maybe he can steal Kwame Brown who receives the ball, Kwame Brown is notoriously poor in dribbling, as long as Kwame Brown catches the racket, they have a chance.
But I didn't expect Kwame Brown's physical fitness to be too irritable, almost stepping on the free throw line with his heel!
There is also the most important point, Liu Mang actually did not shoot directly when there were teammates to follow up and the defenders were two small guards, Liu Mang's way of playing has been understood by many people, there is a little chance, the kind that must be shot, especially when there is a rebounding advantage, there is no chance to force the shot, which is Liu Mang's characteristic, and today Liu Mang actually played so "reasonable".
The Bulls were so confident before because their impression of the last game against the Hawks was that they frantically chased the 18-point difference in the second half and dragged the game into overtime.
The impression of Liu Mang is also the impression that Liu Mang played very alone in the second half of the last game.
But now, they remembered that there was not only half of the game, but also the first half when the Hawks were in earnest, leading them by 18 points at halftime!
In this game, the Eagles were more serious than the first half of the last meeting, the last time, the Eagles still had a "play" mentality in it, and the Bulls were overshadowed at the beginning of the game, making them think that Liu Mang was going to score points and quickly take the lead, and then the mentality relaxed, so at halftime, Maddie was relaxed, and smiled so that Liu Mang could play easily in the second half.
It is mainly because of this that there are prerequisites for the Bulls to turn the tables.
The Hawks' defense is good, but because of the new offensive tactics and the need for new defensive strategies, they are still adjusting, and when there are such good defensive "demonstration teams" as the Bulls and Mavericks, Mike Woodson has found a feeling that defense is not only about positivity and defensive awareness, sometimes experience and pre-emptive "prediction" of the opponent's offensive passing route will also have a great effect.
Since the Eagles' starters are all players with good defensive awareness, it is too suitable for quick rotation defense, and with new things, it suddenly improves the defense a lot.
It was a bit of a trial at the beginning of the game, it worked very well, and then the players played more determined.
But the Bulls can't stand it!
At the beginning of the game, they were beaten 4-0, and then immediately after they missed 4 consecutive shots, Eddie Curry received the ball and was packed, and when he passed out, he was pressed by the Hawks' fast-rotating defense, which consumed the Bulls' offensive time.
This was originally the defense that the Bulls did best, and it was learned by the Hawks!
Finally, in the new tactical system, the Eagles have also integrated the most important part of the previous tactical system - to return the favor to the other!
This is a qualitative improvement for the Eagles!
The Bulls' defensive strategy is very powerful, Coach Skeles is a very good coach, and they don't need to think about how to deal with their defense, while the Hawks have better physical fitness than them, the defensive rotation is faster, and unlike the Bulls, most of them are first- and second-year players at most fourth-year players, with Maddy, Rasheed Wallace and other experienced players, which are better than the Bulls' own team defense!
It's true that the Bulls are talented, that is, they are also very strong, but after all, they are a young team, and in the first half of the last game, the Hawks had an absolute advantage, but they died in the second half, and Eddie Curry's explosion beat the Hawks in an upset.
In the last game against the Bulls, the reason why the Hawks were overturned in the second half, in addition to Eddie Curry and Ben Gordon's rampage, there is also a key reason, that the Hawks gave up the good rhythm of the first half in the third quarter, and Liu Mang began to play alone in the second half, and the rhythm slowed down suddenly, allowing the Bulls, who were already good at controlling the rhythm and balancing offense and defense, to take the lead.
But this time, the Hawks were very focused from the start, and on the defensive end, Mike Woodson learned the Bulls and Mavericks two styles of fast rotation defense, which gave the Hawks a noticeable improvement in their fast rotation defense.
This time, the Eagles' defense has improved significantly, after the opening 4-0, the opponent missed four consecutive shots, and the Eagles played a wave of 12-0 starts! Forced the Bulls to call a timeout.
But the timeout didn't play a big role, three minutes by the Hawks hit a wave of 12-0, the next 9 minutes, the Bulls only scored 12 points, although after the timeout, the Bulls defensive end of the defense became faster, the defensive pressure became stronger, the Bulls' enthusiasm prevented the Hawks in the next 9 minutes of the first quarter only scored 18 points, but the Hawks led the 18 points!
The Hawks went 30-12 in the first quarter!
