Both teams showed their own characteristics from the beginning.

The Spurs relied on the individual abilities of their stars to attract defenses in singles or pick-and-rolls and then distribute the ball. It was simple and crude, but very methodical.

After the playoffs last season, many fans were discussing that Popovich relied on Duncan in the early stage. Duncan reached the lowest point in his career and could not beat the Mavericks. It is true that Duncan still has a great chance to win the MVP if he changes to another team.

And the championship, without Duncan, there is a high probability that the Spurs will not win the championship. This is true, but the positioning and movement in Popovich's tactics helped Duncan create perfect singles and distribution opportunities.

Jackson used the triangle offense to help Kobe and O'Neal create poor singles opportunities.

The Spurs, after falling behind by 5 points, gradually began to take advantage of Parker's threat of finishing under the basket, Duncan's high pick-and-roll and support, Artest's corner three-pointer, Oberto's mid-range shot and James White's physical fitness.

, start scoring.

The Hawks use Liu Mang as a scorer or setter. Although Rondo has no shooting ability, he is fast, has good finishing ability at the basket, and is basically useless from the outside. So far this season, he has made 47% of his field goals.

The rate is no different from the future No. 2 pick's finishing ability at the basket. The Spurs still need to guard against Rondo's sudden cut.

With Marion and Tracy McGrady, two players with great cutting threats, and Marion and Kwame Brown blocking Liu Mang, the Hawks avoided the Spurs' Duncan's close-range defensive dominance and Artest's mid-range defense.

Two difficult points to deal with with strong defense, but the offensive efficiency remains very high!

The focus is on the tactical resurrection of the cavalry company!

In the first two seasons of the Hawks, when Jason Terry was not on the court, the Cavaliers usually attacked Liu Mang, McGrady, Iguodala, and Josh Smith. All four of them could pass the ball. Liu Mang and McGrady were the two

When the counterattack starts, there is still one shooting point and two entry points. There are not so many passing points this season.

But with Rondo as the starting point for counterattack, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady were freed, and together with Marion, they re-formed the cavalry company lineup.

With 22 seconds left in the first quarter, Duncan took a shot from mid-range and bounced off the basket. Rondo held on to the defensive rebound.

Rondo gestured to control the rhythm, seeking stability in the final attack.

26 to 19, the Eagles used a very effective new tactic against the Spurs in the first quarter. They successfully counterattacked 3 times and only scored 26 points. The Spurs suppressed the rhythm very slowly. The Eagles thought

Speeding up, the Spurs' offense slowed down the rhythm again.

However, although the Spurs have a relatively high grasp of their own offense, the pace is slow and they take fewer shots. They only took 17 shots in the first quarter, while the Eagles took 22 shots and had one final attack.

After suppressing the rhythm, Rondo gave the ball to Liu Mang. The last attack of the first quarter must have been made by Liu Mang.

However, in order to encourage Rondo, who played a key role in the first quarter with 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Liu Mang prepared to hand over the last ball to Rondo to direct.

Liu Mang illegally advanced to the front court after eight seconds, and the Spurs did not press the whole court. Parker and Michael Finley, who came on the bench, were unable to fight with their strength, while the other was slow. Artest and Duncan played the entire first half.

In the fourth quarter, Bonner, who was at the power forward position, was not very fast and did not use a full-court press in the final defense.

Liu Mang came to the frontcourt, signaled Rondo to top the arc, and passed the ball to Rondo when he was close to the three-point line.

After Liu Mang passed the ball, he was about to cut in from the right. As soon as he reached the three-point line, the ball returned to Liu Mang's hands!

what's the situation?

Seeing that Parker had already run to the inside and was ready to stick to him, Liu Mang subconsciously retreated and took a sniper shot!

"Ding... Master of fast shooting, the host's three-point shot speed will be increased by 30% within two seconds after receiving the ball."

The sniper shot that was already fast was sped up by 30%!

Parker's center of gravity was tilted toward the inside, and he immediately tried to block it, but it was too late. In panic, he fell sideways!

When Parker fell down, Liu Mang had already thrown the ball away, which meant that Parker fell down in vain!

This kind of shot feels so good. Rondo's pass is very comfortable. Liu Mang took advantage of the situation and stepped back to hit the target with a sniper!

Why did Liu Mang get the chance to throw the ball? Finley didn't even have time to react and make up the defense!

Some fans were even yelling and walking away. Fans who didn't see clearly what happened at that moment felt as if Liu Mang grabbed the ball from the center circle, ran into the three-point line, and then jumped out to throw the ball!

Parker was sitting on the floor in confusion. He clearly saw Liu Mang passing the ball. Why did Liu Mang shoot the ball just as he turned around to chase after the ball?

But Finlay could see it clearly, and so did the referee. When the fans in front of the TV watched the replay, they were just as shocked as Finley!

As soon as Rondo received the ball from Liu Mang, he immediately passed it back. He didn't even pass it back after receiving the ball, but as soon as the ball came into his hand, he used his big hand to hold the ball with his backhand, and the ball bounced off Rondo's hand.

into the hands of Liu Mang!

The timing, the awareness of passing the ball...passing the ball to a teammate for a three-pointer are all top-five ball-level passes!

As Matt Bonner missed a three-point shot, the first quarter ended!

Liu Mang scored 11 points and 2 assists in a single quarter!

Rondo had 4 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter!

Coupled with Marion's 6 points, Kwame Brown's 6 points, and McGrady's 6 points, the frontcourt trio performed quite smoothly. The Hawks led the Spurs by 10 points 29-19 in the first quarter!

Liu Mang replaced Rondo on a whim, which worked wonders.

Rondo didn't shoot, so he was easily targeted when playing with the bench; but when his outside teammates are Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, whether he shot or not is not that important.

The Spurs strengthened their confrontation and slowed down the pace. The Spurs' own long-range shooting percentage was not much better. That is to say, Parker's finishing ability under the basket, Duncan's mid-range shot became more stable, and his passing was better than before.

The score was held for a long time in the first quarter.

Moreover, Rondo's speed and passing ability make him very similar to Kidd in counterattacks. He provides support from the center and uses Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Marion's stronger finishing ability and catching awareness than their substitute teammates. Rondo's

The talent of the coach on the field is even more outstanding!

Genius!

Only then did Liu Mang truly understand what a geek is. The better his teammates are, the better Rondo’s passing ability will be!

The only thing missing is experience, and this thing cannot be rushed and needs time to accumulate. In the original time and space, the Celtics focused on training Rondo in his rookie season. Rondo averaged 25 minutes per game in his rookie season and only averaged 25 minutes per game after the season.

With 6 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists, the Hawks have less time, so they need more patience.

But relatively speaking, Rondo received a better environment. He had superstar teammates in the first year, and Liu Mang took the lead, allowing him to direct the superstar's movements and tactical changes in the few playing time.

Liu Mang is looking forward to the help he will receive during Rondo's rookie contract in the next two or three years!

6 million in 4 years...

Moreover...I have used Rondo's cheap one for several years, and I can still sell it...

The key is that young players like Rondo, who have core point guard talents and even the talent to lead assists, have no shortage of market compared to all-round players like Iguodala and Josh Smith. Even if the four-year rookie contract is used up,

If you sign first and then exchange, the rewards from the other party will not be low!

Who are the potential rookies in 2010?

Liu Mang couldn't help but think about what would happen four years later.

As for Rondo's character issue, Liu Mang has been suppressing Rondo's weird temper from the first time he met him. It's hard to say that Rondo's weird temper has nothing to do with Garnett.
