Chapter 49: Flight to Atlanta
When I came to the stadium and saw Bojan, I felt a little relieved. As usual www.biquge.info everyone is training. I woke up in the morning with a slight pain in my head. Maybe it was caused by drinking a different drink last night and drinking it less.
Another reason is to look at the Atlanta Hawks profile and wonder how to deal with them. The day before yesterday, the manager informed me that I would do the main offensive rehearsal this time. Unlike the Timberwolves. Although there are quite a few big players. But the Eagles players are fierce and difficult to beat!
The addition of Monster Howard this summer has made the Eagles' interior even more solid! A very solid inside line and a fast, tough, and even somewhat unreasonable outside attack are things that worry me.
It seems that Dwight Howard has now become a very powerful big center in the NBA with the ability to dominate the interior! His knowledge of the pitch, his judgment in the game. There's also a tough defense, good bounce and amazing power that makes the other teams a headache!
The Cavaliers haven't played the Hawks yet. I don't know what kind of sparks will come out when these two teams meet together! Paul Millsap is also very tough. Warcraft doesn't have to worry about being tired at all, and there is no one to replace it!
On the offensive end, the Eagles are more skilled and strong in terms of speed! On the inside, the Eagles have made even bigger additions this season! It looks like if you want to win this game. Start with multiple passes and quick movement of the defenders! On the other hand, it is the ability to do more blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation and shoot three-pointers! If that's the case. The Eagles will still have a slightly larger winning percentage. But you might as well gamble, and with the current staffing of the Nets, that's all it can be!
"What do you think?" Lin's question suddenly interrupted my train of thought.
"Oh, I'm thinking about tomorrow's game. It's not easy! "I came back to my senses and said to Lin.
"It's true that the Eagles have become more perverted after Warcraft went! I don't know how far our Egidios will play with him. Lin said as he drank water during the break.
"It's hard to say. Egidius is a very talented defensive interior player. But in addition to the poor shooting accuracy. His physical fitness may not be too advantageous in front of Warcraft. โ
"yes. In terms of positioning, physical confrontation, and rushing for rebounds, that kid may be suppressed enough. How about Brooke. Our general? Lin said as he looked at me as he dribbled.
"Brooke will play at his level against the Eagles in terms of experience and individual ability. If you compare it with Warcraft, how to say. Although Brooke feels a little worse. But in terms of overall data, there should be a chance to suppress Warcraft! โ
"This is our current inner barrier. Brooke has also been doing well. Anyway. This game is not small in every way in terms of difficulty. Cast a three-point hollow, Lin continued.
"No, even if there is a fight between Lรณpez and Warcraft. What about Paul Millsap and Thiago Split? Thiago Split may still be able to deal with it. But Paul Millsap reckon Egidios was struggling to align himself. Compare people are also top first-line players! The quality is not bad in all aspects! โ
"It's me and Daniels on the outside," Lin said after continuing to throw his sixth three-pointer into the basket.
"On the outside, Lin. Be active in running and make more passes to create chances! Their offense is fast! We have to find a way to cut off their offensive momentum! And let them play at our pace! โ
"Chen! Old! Come here. Lin Gang was about to continue. At the same time, we heard Atkinson calling me not far away.
"Coach, you call me." I said, also in a suit, after making eye contact with the manager. What may be obviously different from us is the wrinkles left on his face after the baptism of time.
"Hmm. Feel what our chances are against the Eagles this time. "After entering the manager's office, he motioned for me to do it.
"Coach, tell me the truth. I think it's about forty percent. โ
"So optimistic?" Atkinson's words startled me. I thought he was going to say I was too pessimistic.
"Hmm. I think we still have room to fight. After all, Badinger has some long-range attack capabilities. On the outside, if there is a lot of emphasis on letting them pass the ball multiple times, and Booker and Bojan make some more blocks, it is still more promising. However, the concern is whether our Egidios can hold up on the inside. The Eagles' interior bench is now a first-team player. โ
"It's nice to think about that. This is indeed a problem. But we can't conjure up a Yao Ming right away, don't you say? The coach's expression suddenly eased a lot. The jokes amused me, too.
"Yes. But hopefully our team can win this game! I laughed and said.
"Who doesn't want to win. The results will come out after tomorrow's game. Okay, Chen. Nothing more. Just to see how your tactics are going tomorrow. Your analysis and arrangement reassures me. Can you call Coach Welch for me in a moment? โ
"Okay coach, I'll go now." I got up and walked straight out.
After the evening training, we took the bus directly to the airport. Got on a flight to Atlanta, Georgia. When I sat down on the plane, I felt a little more relaxed. We've done pretty much everything we can prepare. It's up to tomorrow's game.
We came to Phillips Arena. The fans were very enthusiastic. The Eagles should do the same.
The race is about to begin. Atkinson looked at my tactics board and brief exchange with Welch again and stopped talking. The shouts of the surrounding fans contrasted sharply with his silence.
The Hawks' starting lineup today is Howard, Kent, Kyle, Dennis, Delaney. On the Nets' side are Lopez, Hamilton, Booker, Harris and Randy. The Nets have a rare bench lineup on the guard side.
It's game on! Howard grabbed the ball first and put it in his chest. Seeing that no one was coming, he passed the ball to Delaney! The latter did not rush to the inside, but passed the ball to Dennis, who ran outside. The latter went straight into the net with three points. The first goal of the game!
Randy serves to Harris. Bojan received a pass from Harris and then passed it to Hamilton. Hamilton looked at Brooke and had a chance to pass it straight through. Lopez dunked after receiving the ball, and Howard interfered with the dunk and dunked the basketball away. The basketball bounced out of bounds.
Kyle passes the ball to Kent! Kent and the other 3 Hawks players except for Warcraft made a quick run to the front court and threw the ball to Delaney. Delaney threw in a second three-pointer under Randy's defense! 6:0ใ
After Bojan missed the shot and Howard chased after the dunk, the Nets called a timeout. After returning, the Nets replaced Bojan with Daniels. At that time, the Nets will have a three-guard arrangement.
Randy passes the ball to Hamilton. Hamilton made a quick run past half-court to attract Kyle and Dennis who came to help defend and passed the ball to Harris. Harris makes a direct jumper. Basketball bounces out of the hoop! Howard immediately jumped up, took the ball in his hand, and threw it to Kent!
Kent waved the ball long to Kyle. Instead of a layup, Kyle opted for a three-pointer. The Eagles came out with an 11:0 mini-climax not long after the game!
Harris ran through the half court and passed the ball straight to Lรณpez. Lopez gave Kyle a foul when he forced a layup. After 2 free throws and 1 hit! Kent tosses the ball to Dennis. Dennis ran over quickly and directly slammed into one arm! The fans cheered! The Eagles jumped up on the bench and cheered for their team! 13:1ใ
The Nets are starting to get a little anxious. Harris didn't choose to pass the ball again after receiving a pass from Daniels. It's a one-on-one confrontation with the Delaney! After breaking through in disguise, Kent fanned the ball away with a big hat from Kent who came to help defend it!
Randy doesn't shoot after receiving the ball! Dennis grabbed the rebound and ran over quickly! Delaney misses shot after receiving a pass from Dennis! Hamilton grabbed the rebound and threw it to Daniels!
Daniels got up straight into the chaos and threw a three-pointer! 13:4ใ
Judging from the beginning, the Hawks are pressing the Nets with a very strong momentum! The Nets were completely disrupted by the Hawks in the process. There's not much contact between the players. It's basically all about personal singles ability!
Kent quickly ran through the half, received a pass from Dennis, and it was a three-pointer! This kind of momentum that looks like the Nets are going to spend half of the first quarter makes the fans present very excited! And the referees were a little nervous. Observe the atmosphere of the stadium. Avoid some verbal altercations between players and the like.
Hamilton received the ball and slowly ran across the half. After seeing the oncoming Kyle, the base passes the ball to Daniels. Daniels shook off Delaney and then turned around Dennis's defense and scored a step-back jumper under Howard's defense! This sequence of actions is beautiful! The Nets bench stands up and cheers for Daniels!
A few days later, the goal was ranked 3rd in the top 10 goals of the week! After Dennis misses a shot, Lopez fans the ball directly in the direction of Daniels! Daniels received the ball and started running fast. After glancing back at Delaney, who was still four or five steps away, he turned around and threw a three-pointer!
The long hours of hard training have made Daniels calm and efficient at this time! He stepped up when almost all of the players were about to lose fire and kept scoring!
