If the Suns want to play at a loss, the Hawks might as well just play at the opponent's expense.

After so many years of playing in the finals, Coach Kruger probably understands why Jackson always pretends to be on the bench no matter what the situation is.

Sometimes, on-the-spot reaction is something that cannot be rushed. Look at Popovich. Although he is very anxious, most of the time he is not anxious because the team's offensive and defensive tactics are not good. Most of the time, he is competing with the referee.

I want to give the players a hint - it's not that you didn't play well.

Sometimes they want to use anger to stimulate the "numb army" led by Duncan. The team led by Duncan is too stable, so stable that sometimes Popovich wants to get angry.

Gasol can make the shot. Both Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady specially create two-point opportunities for Gasol from the free throw line. This distance is the most accurate for Gasol and can almost surround the entire half.

Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady must not let each other go. Jason Terry set a new personal record of 8 three-pointers in a single game just this season. The Suns did not dare to let him go. That game between the Hawks and the Lakers was studied by the Suns.

Many times, Jason Terry has become a nuclear-level weapon in the eyes of championship teams. If he goes crazy...

Relatively speaking, Scola, who is in his prime, is not a small threat. The least threat on the Hawks' side is Gasol. Gasol can block O'Neal and it is difficult to do it when there is space.

Lift the ball and switch it around. If Gasol encounters O'Neal's defense at the basket, it will not only be difficult to lift the ball high and hit it, but also impossible to lift it. When it is lifted, it is looking for a blocker and catching the ball.

All difficult.

But today the Suns felt like they had seen a ghost!

O'Neal was in good condition and made 3 of 3 3-pointers in a row. Gasol also made 3 of 3 free throw line jumpers!

Seeing that the slim lead could be maintained, Coach Kruger became less anxious.

On the contrary, Gentry stood up anxiously!

Liu Mang also noticed this. When he saw the bitter-faced Gentry, his face became even more bitter. He felt that he should do something defensively this time. In the past few rounds, he had been thinking about how to defend, and he had some clues.

.

"Hey, my handsome young master, I'm going to be tired again."

Liu Mang gestured to Scola and McGrady respectively, and the two nodded without hesitation.

Calderon advanced and continued to pass the ball to O'Neal.

This style of play without much confrontation is quite comfortable for O'Neal, who continues to break toward the basket!

Scola blocked O'Neal's breakthrough route in advance!

This was even better for O'Neal, who immediately passed the ball to the center, and Josh Smith, who was released, cut in to receive the ball and took off!

Gasol was blocking the line of the reasonable collision zone, but Josh Smith had already jumped up. Gasol felt that he couldn't stop the opponent's dunk, so he could only stretch his arms upward, trying to give Josh Smith a little

interference.

Josh Smith switches the ball to his left hand in the air, preparing for a dunk with a lever switch...

Suddenly, Josh Smith took the ball back and passed it to the left at a 45-degree angle!

Sure enough, Josh Smith, who had just felt the smell of blood, saw a slap flashing past him, almost touching the ball, and slapped his hand on the backboard!

Calderon received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left, McGrady switched defenses in time, and Liu Mang quickly turned around to defend Kirisek in the bottom corner.

Calderon did not pass the ball to the bottom corner, but took a step with McGrady, entered the three-point line, rode a horse and shot an arrow jumper, looking for a foul!

McGrady quickly pulled away and Calderon lost his center of gravity and threw forward, but he controlled his core strength well and threw the ball steadily...

Got in too!

There are two members of the 180 Club this season, one is Nash, the other is Calderon...

Two 180 club players join one team to play and serve as backup point guards!

There is no other way. What Liu Mang expected was to interfere with Josh Smith's dunk. If Josh Smith reacted and passed the ball, he would have to find a way to force the ball to Kirisek, who was the most inaccurate.

, Liu Mang rushed forward to scare the opponent again, and the opponent might panic. Who knew that Calderon was quite calm and used McGrady's footwork to break through and try to draw a foul, but he missed the foul and made the shot.

This goal, which is similar to a fairy ball, is quite a morale booster!

Coach Gentry of the Suns team, who was a little anxious at first, felt much more relaxed.

Coach Kruger is also very sorry. If this ball is defended, it will definitely put a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent's head coach.

On the other hand, Gasol, who scored three mid-range shots in a row on the Hawks' next attack, was finally determined.

Although the Suns' Jason Richardson failed to score a three-pointer after O'Neal's pass in the next round, he became anxious again.

After Gasol missed two consecutive shots, the Hawks began to return to their normal play style, letting Gasol go inside to contain O'Neal under the basket, and the Three Eagles launched an attack from the outside.

However, Gasol can force O'Neal to start attacking from the mid-range, which is quite skillful.

The head coaches of both teams are struggling... until the other team loses its composure.

However, the head coach did not lose his composure, and the players on the field began to lose their composure.

Two points, zero points, 1 point behind, 1 point ahead...

This anxious score made Liu Mang a little impatient!

Just now, O'Neal passed the ball to Josh Smith and came out to help Calderon block Liu Mang. Calderon hit a three-pointer and the Suns successfully took the lead by one point.

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang received the ball and came to the frontcourt. McGrady wanted to come up and help Liu Mang block Kirisek who was defending. Liu Mang waved his hand and asked McGrady to go away. Facing Kirisek's defense,

Liu Mang jumped up suddenly!

Kirisek rushed forward, but Liu Mang didn't shoot when he reached the highest point!

Kirisek fell first. When Liu Mang fell, his back was straight, his wrists and hands were not moving, and his arms were straight to hit the ball...

Zombie jumper!

This ball purely depends on personal ability and touch!

The ball, which had almost no arc or spin, hit the inside of the basket straight and bounced into the net!

When the Suns attacked, Josh Smith caused a foul and made two free throws.

When the Eagles attack again, Liu Mang is in the same position, taking off to shoot in the same way, and another straight zombie jumper throws the ball into the frame!

"Hey, hey, hey...Boss, are you playing like this?"

When Josh Smith saw Liu Mang's two three-pointers, he suddenly felt that the goals his team had worked so hard to score just now were not as good as the opponent's random shots!

Just now, both teams were using tactics well to close the gap.
Chapter completed!
