838. Atlanta Hustlers(2/2)
Or is it because he double-teamed too quickly?
Liu Mang retreated immediately after landing, and the Eagles retreated quickly.
The Bulls are a team with an extremely balanced offense and defense. Their balance is a little different from other teams. The five players on the Bulls all have the ability to attack with the ball. Even Antonio Davis has pretty good close range skills.
Distance shooting and short-range face-up singles.
So the Eagles' defense is to defend itself against its own defenders.
Liu Mang waited for Hinrich to push forward. When he saw Hinrich coming outside the three-point line, he immediately moved up to guard against a traditional defender like Hinrich. Liu Mang's advantage was obvious.
Sure enough, Hinrich was about to start a pick-and-roll. Liu Mang saw Antonio Davis coming to his left. In order to avoid being caught by Rasheed Wallace, Hinrich prepared to shoot around the pick-and-roll!
Liu Mang was so maverick, he just bypassed Antonio Davis, not guarding Hinrich's pick-and-roll breakthrough, but blocking Hinrich's three-pointer.
Hinrich could only step into the three-point line to avoid Liu Mang, and before Rasheed Wallace could make up for it, he took a long two-point shot!
Liu Mang's choice was correct. Hinrich's mid-range shot was far worse than a three-point shot, and his long two-point shot was perfect!
Kwame Brown easily picked up the defensive rebound from Eddie Curry and immediately passed it to McGrady. Liu Mang quickly made the pass.
The Bulls retreat quickly. They are always ready to defend if shots are not missed. Their winning tactic is to defend. If they can make a shot on the offensive end, they will make a shot. If they cannot make a shot, they will retreat quickly. This season Eddie -
Curry's defense retreated very quickly during his contract year.
After Liu Mang crossed the half court, Tracy McGrady lobbed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang leaned on Hinrich who was catching up and jumped up to catch the ball. Then he rushed to the left at a 45-degree angle. All the Bulls players retreated.
Pounced towards Liu Mang, Du Hong and Luol Deng broke through, and Xinliqi defended Liu Mang from chasing for a three-pointer.
When Liu Mang saw that Kwame Brown had already rushed into the three-point line, he immediately threw the ball to McGrady who was crossing the midline. McGrady ran to the top of the three-point line, received the ball, and shot a three-pointer directly!
Hit again!
Liu Mang got two assists in the beginning, and Tracy McGrady scored 5 points in a row!
Kwame Brown was so resentful when he rushed to the basket and was ready to catch an alley-oop. He didn't rebound or score. He obviously had a better chance!
Kwame Brown thought of Liu Mang's teachings: Kwame, from now on I will be double-teamed by the person who is supposed to guard you. I will shoot and you will rebound. I am not the only one playing. Think about it, I scored.
If it goes in, it's still two points. If it doesn't go in and you grab a rebound, it's just a rebound plus two points. Isn't it great? So it's normal that it wasn't passed to you.
Kwame Brown actually understands this magical theory... What else can he do if he doesn't understand? Can he still grab the defensive rebound and drive it to the frontcourt for a dunk?
However, this kind of counterattack alley-oop without passing the ball is too much!
McGrady felt weird and was fussed by Kwame Brown's resentful eyes. He thought it would be better to pass it on to this guy who is also a high school student next time.
The Bulls noticed something was wrong!
Liu Mang was actually organizing an attack from the beginning!
Chapter completed!
