From today on is the king

Chapter 1010 1009. A Style of Play Ahead of an Era
Childress tried very hard to defend, but he was so shaken by McGrady's turn that he didn't even know where McGrady was. When he turned his head, he just saw the ball fall from the basket.

Childress didn't even need to guess, he knew he was being tricked: they all have long legs, so why bother with long legs!

The start is 5 to 0!

At the beginning, the Eagles seemed to want to press the rhythm, but in essence they still had a fast break. Even in the first offensive position, the cooperation between Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace still only took 10 seconds.

Moreover, Liu Mang was not the main attack point in the two attacks. Liu Mang became the starting point of the attack and was leading the attack.

This is not a part of tactics, but the free play of Liu Mang, Rasheed Wallace and McGrady!

When it came time for the 76ers to attack again, Iverson realized that his tactics seemed to have been seen through by the opponent from the very beginning, and he broke through more resolutely, with scoring as the first goal.

Iverson, who was more resolutely rushing towards the basket, became more difficult to defend. After passing Liu Mang and rushing to the inside, he circled the baseline and left Kwame Brown and teammate Dalembert behind him. He turned around and scored two points.

There is no way, Iverson's shot selection is much better, this pass around the bottom line made the basket a mess, and the players in the middle have no place to defend.

Iverson helped the 76ers score the first goal, and the 76ers retreated quickly.

Fast-paced offense and fast-paced defense are coach Maurice Cheeks' tactics for the 76ers.

At the transition of offense and defense, Liu Mang sent the ball to McGrady, McGrady patted the ball, and patted it back to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Rasheed Wallace stepped out to screen and roll for Liu Mang.

Iverson and Webber have a good offensive partner, but on the defensive end Iverson is active and has a certain defensive ability, but Webber is not. Both of them focused on Rasheed Wallace who just made a three-pointer, and they were ready to move.

Liu Mang judged the opponent's defensive intentions, did not wait for Rasheed Wallace to come out to block Iverson, and directly chose to break through!
Iverson didn't stick so hard because he was going to go around the pick-and-roll!
When Liu Mang reached the free throw line, Rasheed Wallace turned around and rushed towards the basket, throwing Webb behind him!
Liu Mang stopped jumping abruptly, and made a mid-range shot...

The first shot missed, but Rasheed Wallace rushed in to attract Dalembert's attention, and Kwame Brown tipped for two points.

The tacit understanding is off the charts!Compared with the tacit understanding at the beginning of last season, I don't know how many times it has improved!
Iverson learned smart and didn't do it hard. Instead, he used the positions of his teammates and opponents on the field and the space opened by Samuels, who restrained McGrady's defense in the bottom corner, and easily scored two points, but the Eagles immediately responded with an easy assist.

It was the 76ers attack again. Iverson continued the style of play he had succeeded once before. After passing Liu Mang, he went around the baseline. Kwame Brown defended Iverson in advance this time.
Dalembert received the ball and turned around to dunk!

But Kwame Brown's defensive awareness at the basket has improved compared to last season!It's not for nothing to learn from the shot-blocking king Mourning for a summer. He turned around and slapped the ball raised by Dalembert with his small hand, and hit the ball down!

Liu Mang, who was blocked by a group of people under the basket, turned to grab the rebound, leaning on Weber to receive the defensive rebound.

There is a chance to fight back!

After Liu Mang grabbed the rebound with one hand and landed on the ground, he immediately turned and pushed forward. Childress came up to block Liu Mang, and Liu Mang quickly scored the ball to McGrady.

The current lineup of the 76ers is very fast. After being caught by the Eagles on a defensive rebound, they collectively quickly retreated. McGrady rushed towards the basket after receiving the ball. After attracting the retreating players to pinch, he passed back to Rasheed Wallace who followed up to the free throw line. Rasheed Wallace took a step towards the basket. , Kwame Brown compressed to the three-second zone.

At this time, Rasheed Wallace passed the ball back to Liu Mang, who was slowly following up. Liu Mang caught the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side and shot a three-pointer...

"Shh..."

The CIC missed, and the three-pointer scored!
10 to 2, the Eagles lead by 8 points!
The cooperation has become more and more tacit. Continuously passing the ball and using off the ball to compress the weak defense of the 76ers, the Eagles have a feeling of ease.

Regardless of whether the 76ers played well or poorly, the Eagles played very steadily here. The 76ers scored, and the Eagles immediately returned one.

The offensive style of the 76ers seems to score well, but this is based on a fast pace, and the Eagles score more!
Because the Eagles have Rasheed Wallace, the former Trail Blazers offensive core who is very familiar with the coaching system of Morris Cheeks, the Eagles have analyzed many possibilities of the 76ers’ tactics in the past two days. Coach Morris Cheeks is not the kind of person who builds a system with some players, but a head coach who adds people to that system. Iverson and Webber are very suitable for his system, but there are few changes. .

If it weren't for Iverson's strong personal scoring ability and strong restraint, the 76ers would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, it's just a slow death.

Compared to the Eagles who relied on Rasheed Wallace to predict the offensive style of the 76ers, the 76ers had no idea how to defend against the Eagles.

The offense was not organized by McGrady as expected, nor was Liu Mang the main single player. The Eagles played Princeton in the starting stage today.

By the 7th minute of the first quarter, the Eagles had already led 23 to 15 by 8 points!

76人队7分钟14投6中拿到15分，进攻表现已经很好了，但是老鹰队进攻炸了！
With a perfect tacit cooperation, the Eagles made 15 of 9 shots and scored 23 points in the half quarter!
In the first game of the opening game, the Eagles played a crazy offense!

Liu Mang scored 5 points and 2 assists in the half quarter, Kwame Brown 6 points, Prince 2 points, Tracy McGrady and Rasheed Wallace 5 points each, playing a performance that the 76ers, fans, and TV commentators did not expect!

The Hawks scored 23 points in half a quarter. It's not terrible. What's terrible is that the whole Eagles team got involved!
……

After the official timeout, after the 76ers arranged a defensive switch, the Eagles changed their style of play. Liu Mang and Jason Terry brought Korver, Josh Smith, and Mourning to the field.

On the 76ers side, Dalembert was suppressed too badly by Kwame Brown. He replaced the backup center Steven Hunter dug from the Suns in the summer. Iverson, Samuels, Childress and Webber remained unchanged.

After a timeout, the 76ers attacked first. Webber leaned against Josh Smith in the low post to ask for the ball. Seeing that he was a second-year player, he focused on this.

Single defense against Josh Smith really can't prevent Webber, Weber turned around and hit a high throw.

17 to 23, the point difference narrowed to six points, the 76ers players tried to narrow the point difference to less than 5 points, retreated quickly, and were ready to defend the Eagles' passing and cutting cooperation.

After Liu Mang sent the ball to Jason Terry, Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt and passed it back to Liu Mang. Liu Mang caught the ball and shot directly!
Suddenly, he scored a three-pointer without any tactics!The 76ers didn't even react!

What about a progressive team that was agreed upon?He played so reasonably just now, and suddenly he made a direct shot?
Liu Mang's three-point catch added an assist to Jason Terry's statistics column!
Just now, the 76ers players felt that the point difference would be narrowed to less than 5 points soon, and it would be 9 points soon!

Liu Mang made a quick shot, which ignited the 76ers' rhythm. Iverson quickly advanced after receiving the ball, and the 76ers team pressed up to attack.

The Eagles also served the ball quickly. Jason Terry made a quick push and passed it to Liu Mang. As soon as Liu Mang received the ball, Iverson immediately posted it. Liu Mang took advantage of the 76ers' defense and squeezed Iverson to rush towards the basket, attracting Childress' pincer attack.
Did not enter!

But Liu Mang, who rushed in, just grabbed the offensive rebound and shot it out. Jason Terry grabbed the ball and made another three-pointer...

Entered this time!

The point difference that was just narrowed to 76 points by the 7ers was expanded to 10 points again!
The Eagles came to the rotation lineup and instantly changed from a team offense to a wave-by-play tactic, facing off against Iverson and Webber, but the 76ers were not ready!
The Eagles' weird style of play caused the 76ers to make mistakes again. Fortunately, Iverson and Webber have strong scoring abilities, which did not stop the 76ers from scoring, but the Eagles are so accurate if they can't stand it!

After the first quarter, the Eagles are 41 to 28, leading by 13 points!

Liu Mang is fine, he only had 10 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, but the Eagles scored 41 points!
As soon as the game started, the 76ers were fooled!
……

After a perfect start, the 76ers were completely at a disadvantage. After halftime, 71 to 53, the Eagles led by 18 points, further expanding the point difference.

In the second quarter, the Eagles were mainly based on a rotation lineup. Liu Mang only played 6 minutes, but when Tracy McGrady led the team, Calderon, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace played a beautiful offensive performance. The defensive end can be restricted as long as it can, and if it cannot be restrained, it will continue to solve the problem with offense.

The score in the second quarter was relatively low. It was Liu Mang who only played 6 minutes in the second quarter and scored 2 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound.

In the third quarter, after Liu Mang played again, the Eagles resumed the crazy offense of the first quarter in the third quarter. Liu Mang scored 11 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to a score of 38 to 34 in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Eagles 109 to 87, leading by 22 points!
The 76ers scored 87 points in three quarters, and they have played very well, exceeding their expectations. Especially in the third quarter, they scored 34 points in a single quarter, but they couldn't stand the Hawks' 38 points in a single quarter!
41 points, 30 points, 38 points, the Eagles scored more than 30 points in each of the first three quarters!
But just because of the fast pace and many shots, the 76ers' shooting rate is only 40.00%, while the Eagles' shooting rate is as high as 40.00%[-]!

The 76ers feel so powerless!
It's not that they can't score, but the Hawks can score too much!

Liu Mang scored 23 points in three quarters, McGrady scored 21 points in three quarters, Jason Terry scored 15 points in 12 minutes in the first three quarters, Kwame Brown scored 17 points and 9 rebounds in three quarters, Rasheed Wallace also scored 13 points, and five Eagles scored in double figures in three quarters!
How does this make the 76ers play?
Iverson hasn't even implemented his prepared idea of ​​desperately winning the game, and the game has entered garbage time!
In the first game of the new season, the Eagles made people's eyes shine!
I can't tell the feeling, the Eagles didn't seem to be particularly good at defending, but they just pressed the 76ers at the playoff level, opened up six or seven points in one quarter, and led by 22 points after three quarters!
Coach Maurice Cheeks doesn't know what else to do. It seems that the scoring is not broken, but he loses to the opponent by six or seven points per quarter.

There is a very awkward feeling, as if they are not a team of the same era... In other words, the performance of the Eagles following Liu Mang is an era ahead of the 76ers!
Leading by 22 points in three quarters, Liu Mang clocked out of get off work in three quarters!

Coach Kruger was also surprised by the performance of the players.

The focus is on three-pointers, and the Eagles made 19 three-pointers!

The voices of the fans at the scene were almost hoarse, and the offense was so good!
The 76ers voluntarily surrendered and trailed by 22 points in three quarters. The opponent seemed to be able to handle it with ease. They wanted to figure out what happened to today's game.

Coach Kruger sent a pure bench lineup of Calderon, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and David Lee, and Jason Terry played with the bench.

There were no surprises. If there were any surprises, it was that no one, even the Eagles players themselves, expected to play so well.

The Eagles beat the 134ers 110 to 76 to get off to a good start!

……

Liu Mang’s stats in this game are mediocre. Of course, compared to his stats last season, he played 28 minutes and scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. McGrady’s stats of 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists are no worse than Liu Reg’s. Kwame Brown’s stats of 17 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks in three quarters are also very good.

Liu Mang was asked a lot of questions, mainly about the championship banner. Liu Mang answered this very politely, without nonsense: "This is a great encouragement to me. I am very grateful for the league's approach. They are doing a great job. It gives basketball players all over the world the motivation to join the ranks of the most competitive players."

When asked about the Eagles' offensive explosion today, Liu Mang gave an official answer: "Our style of play should be a little more advanced. We have made good use of the rules. Many of our shots are more used to the current rules. For example, we can't touch the ball. This allows us to have more space when we catch the ball and shoot. The opponent is not very good at using this. This is our advantage."

Liu Mang was surprised by his team's offensive performance today. Although he scored 17 points on 8-of-23 shooting, the team scored 109 points in three quarters and 134 points in the game.

Liu Mang analyzed it, the main reason is that the opponent did not expect them to fight like this.

The Eagles set up a tactical framework in this way to allow players to play freely because Coach Kruger was used to coaching last season. This season's tactics are more unrestrained. They are used to this rule that encourages offense.

But most teams in the league are still not used to it. It's just that Coach Kruger has played this way a lot, and he thinks everyone should get used to it.

When Liu Mang said these things, he was not afraid that the other party would know. He could understand this kind of thing after a little research.

However, when asked about McGrady’s good luck holding his thigh, due to the many news that came out recently, Liu Mang still couldn’t hold back: “You don’t understand Tracy. I saw many people say that Tracy took advantage of the cheap and won the championship, but think about it, if we didn’t win the championship last year, your evaluation of Tracy would be completely different! He took a lot of risks to join our team. Tracy chose the most difficult path.”

McGrady was listening to this and was very touched. He didn’t respond or talk to his teammates about it before. Before the start of the new season, some veterans who failed to join the championship team didn’t attack McGrady maliciously. They just lamented that McGrady was lucky.

When I heard the reporter ask this question, I was a little depressed, and I didn't know how Liu Mang would answer.

And Liu Mang's answer really moved McGrady.

And he spoke very measuredly, without advocating him, he saved his face.

But I always feel that it's weird, this guy is so kind-hearted?
