Kwame Brown's offensive rebound!

If you start again, you will be deducted...

"Snapped……"

After Duncan tackled McGrady, he jumped up continuously, sideways and accurately slapped the ball raised by Kwame Brown!

The ball hit Kwame Brown's head and bounced out of bounds. The Spurs have the ball!

McGrady wanted to try his three-point threat and Liu Mang's cutter threat to play a team offense. The effect was pretty good, but Duncan was a little too strong and Kwame Brown was blocked.

Fortunately, he had been abused by O'Neal, and Kwame Brown was used to being abused, so he retreated quickly.

When the Spurs attacked, Parker advanced to the frontcourt and saw that the defender turned into Liu Mang!

The Spurs understand that no matter what, they have to let Parker go!

When Parker is not holding the ball, he uses rotation defense to let go of Parker, and uses Liu Mang, who can guard against Ginobili's breakthrough, to guard Ginobili who is holding the ball. If Parker holds the ball, Liu Mang directly guards Parker and then

To double-team others.

Parker becomes the guinea pig to be played with!

Liu Mang restrained Parker too much. It was different from the psychological restraint he exerted when playing against Arenas. Liu Mang's style of play directly restrained Parker. Parker didn't even have the ability to explode like Arenas!

Parker passed the ball to Ginobili who came up to respond. As soon as Ginobili received the ball, Liu Mang and Prince attacked Ginobili from a double flank.

At this time, Parker is not able to make an air cut, and he can't attract the defense when he opens up!

Compared with the Spurs' defense against the Hawks, the Hawks' defense against the Spurs is simpler. The Spurs' two inside shooting ranges are not far away. Duncan's longest mid-range shot is from the free throw line. Rasheed Wallace and Kwame

-Brown can stay in the three-second zone, and Parker almost never breaks through and makes air cuts without holding the ball!

Ginobili was flanked by Liu Mang and Prince, forced a breakthrough to the basket and missed the throw!

Liu Mang used Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace to block people and guard the defensive rebounds!

When the Hawks attacked, McGrady advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang made a layup and passed it to Rasheed Wallace who forced his way to the basket. Rasheed Wallace received the ball.

The forced shot was lucky.

Then the two teams started another round of blacksmithing, and the two teams began to compete on defense.

In this kind of defensive game, the Hawks have a slight advantage. With Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, two people who can break out and shoot, especially strong shots, against Ginobili alone, slowly

Start getting some leads!

It was useless for the Spurs to call a timeout. The Hawks just grinded their defense to death.

Popovich didn't expect the Hawks to play like this. The Hawks clearly had an offensive advantage in the last game, but in this game they actually gave up those offensive advantages to grind defense against them, and then used McGrady's comprehensive skills to seek stability with Liu Mang.

He went to the basket to deal with them, completely using his existing advantages to create opportunities for other teammates, disrupting Popovich's plan!

The Spurs' defense is not about how strong individual defense is. Parker, Ginobili, Horry, and Nesterovich are not very good at individual defense. They are strong in zone defense and the execution of defensive rotations.

That means speed and height are needed!

The speed of Parker and Ginobili is the key to the Spurs' defensive rotation. The height of Duncan and Horry is the key to regional defense. Any other substitute will not work. Parker is very important in the Spurs' defensive system. The Spurs

This lineup is their best defense. Coach Popovich, who wants stability, cannot replace Parker at the start of the game.

When the official timeout came in the seventh minute of the first quarter, the Hawks were 12-8, leading the Spurs by 4 points!

The Hawks only scored 12 points in seven minutes, which was already miserable. The Spurs only scored 8 points in 7 minutes! Five of the points were attributed to Ginobili's soaring three-pointer and a double attack from Pullin under the basket.

Two free throws for Si's foul!

The pace is so slow that it makes people feel hopeless!

Even the Spurs didn't expect that they could play to this extent!

All this is due to the defensive strategy discussed by Liu Mang and Mike Woodson.

This strategy is what Liu Mang came up with from the original seven-game Finals battle between the Pistons and Spurs in 2005. After talking with Mike Woodson, Mike Woodson immediately figured out this strategy by analogy.

In the original time and space of the 2004-2005 season, Mike Woodson had gone back to his teacher Larry Brown. The Pistons' defense was so good in the 2003-05 seasons, and it was inseparable from Mike Woodson. Most of the defense relied on him.

The same goes for the 76ers in 2001.

Liu Mang performed steady damage under the basket, scoring 5 points and 2 assists in the first 7 minutes. Tracy McGrady scored 5 points, and Rasheed Wallace hit a layup. Just three people scoring, it was like dying!

This kind of play was something that even Popovich didn't expect. The Eagles' opening play was quite successful!

…

After the official timeout, both teams made personnel adjustments. The Spurs sent out a lineup of Udrih, Ginobili, Brent Barry, Bunch Wells, and Duncan.

The Hawks sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Korver, Josh Smith, and Mourning.

When Popovich put on this lineup, he was preparing to save the offense, which was suffering too badly.

With the Spurs having the ball and this lineup, the Hawks started a rapid rotation of defense. Liu Mang and Korver's ability to assist defense and rotation defense were brought into play, and Jason Terry's enthusiasm was also improved to a certain extent.

The performance, similar to the Spurs' use of Parker, uses high-speed rotation defense learned from the Bulls and Mavericks to deal with the Spurs.

With Ginobili's breakthrough pass, the Spurs had a chance to score a three-pointer, but there were not many opportunities. The offense improved slightly, but it was not enough to overtake the score.

As for the Eagles, Liu Mang and Jason Terry started the planned play in the tactics. Liu Mang broke through and sought stability to create damage, and Jason Terry made waves from the outside!

Mainly Jason Terry!

The Eagles are playing like gamblers here, using the threat posed by Liu Mang's cuts or breakthroughs to create opportunities for Jason Terry. Jason Terry does not necessarily catch and shoot after receiving the ball.

He is very different from ordinary shooters. When he receives the ball and the opponent pounces on him to block the shot, he will dribble twice to open up space regardless of whether he is shaking or not. He just needs to dribble and then shoot.

This kind of rhythm is something that Jason Terry makes it difficult for his opponents and teammates to adapt to, but as long as he is accurate, it is very scary!

And in the finals, Jason Terry, the king of substitutes in big scenes, was very accurate when he came up!

In the second half of the first quarter, the Hawks scored 13 points in 5 minutes, 10 of which were scored by Jason Terry! The other 3 points were Korver's three-pointer from the corner.

Although the Spurs were more efficient in the next 5 minutes, relying on Ginobili's point shot and Bunchy Wells' single, the Spurs scored 10 points in 5 minutes, but the Hawks played a wave of 13 to 10!

After the first quarter, the Eagles led the Spurs by 25 to 18, 7 points ahead!

…

Even Popovich's head is a bit hard to turn around. Is this kind of gambler's style of play what a team that won the first game and has some advantageous points should have?

The Eagles, who took the initiative at the beginning, became more determined as they played and gradually became more comfortable.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs replaced Duncan as center, and the lineup of Parker, Ginobili, Horry, and Bunchy Wells was ready to use

When dealing with the singles between Jason Terry and Liu Mang, the Eagles replaced Jason Terry, who had played at an MVP level just 5 minutes ago, and replaced Liu Mang with Tracy McGrady, Prince, and Josh.

-The lineup of Smith and Rasheed Wallace continues to wear down defense.

Being controlled by one move, he is controlled by everyone. This is the current Popovich.

The time spent by the Eagles in the past two days has not been in vain!

Coach Kruger was under huge pressure and used gambling tactics to gain the lead at the beginning, and his play worked!

The Eagles' schedule is very unfavorable, so we can only make a bet. They must win the second game, otherwise it will be too difficult to play three consecutive away games. If they lose one home game and all away games...

Play a steady style against the Spurs, and use a regular team's style of finding an advantage and seizing it. Apart from OK, no team has ever beaten Duncan in the playoffs after his second year.

,So, in order to win, you must bet!

This gamble seems to be correct now!

In summary, the Eagles' tactics are to use defense to stabilize the situation. On the offensive end, Liu Mang seeks stability, Tracy McGrady seeks perfection, and Jason Terry comes to play. The advantages of the three players in the first game are reflected in the details, three styles of play.

Switching back and forth, that's how the Eagles played this game.

As for the data, who cares about the data now that Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Jason Terry are here? Winning the game is more important!

Jason Terry can score 10 points in a row in 5 minutes and then willingly go off the court to rest. Liu Mang can reduce his shooting rights and cover up the defensive end without having steals and blocks. Tracy McGrady is willing to give up his highly regarded regular season skills.

With a high-efficiency style of play, it doesn't matter if assists decrease. It doesn't matter if your teammates make the best use of breakthroughs to pass to your teammates. It doesn't matter if your teammates pass the ball or fail to make a shot. You just have to play this ever-changing rhythm.

At the end of halftime, the Eagles had a 9-point lead, 46-37!

Liu Mang made 3 of 8 shots in the half, 1 of 1 from three-point range, and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 11 points. This was the fewest points scored in a half in the seven finals in the past two years. Jason Terry scored 14

points, McGrady scored 11 points and 2 assists on 4 of 13 shots, helping the Hawks lead by 9 points at halftime!

The atmosphere at the Eagles scene was still very lively. As long as they were ahead, it was fine. The Eagles fans in front of the TV were fine. It was fine as long as their team was in the lead. But other fans felt like they had been cheated by the Eagles again!

Judging from the commentator's analysis and their own visual judgment, this game was so ugly because of the weird formation changes on the Eagles' side!

However, a tactic that can gain an advantage is a good tactic!

Some fans who are sophisticated about tactics are surprised by the endless tactical changes of the Eagles. Eagles fans are used to seeing their team’s constantly changing tactics. Most fans actually don’t understand tactics, not the Eagles.

Fans know tactics and don't usually watch many Eagles games. For the first time, they discovered that the Eagles' tactics are so good! What surprised them even more was that the Eagles' tactics were miraculous against the Spurs!

The Spurs are so stable that it is difficult for them to make any changes to this situation.

In the second half, the Hawks did not relax. Driven by Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Jason Terry, they continued this rhythm-changing style of play. The defensive end was grinding to death, and the offensive end relied on the three of them.

In the third quarter, the Spurs tried to use Ginobili's magic to counterattack. Ginobili's 12 points in the third quarter did have some effect. Jordan was still very powerful in 20 minutes, helping the Spurs in this game.

For the first time in the game, the score exceeded 20 in a single quarter, and he scored 24 points in a single quarter.
