From today on is the king

Chapter 1173 1172. This is not a defense against rookies!
David Lee passed the ball beautifully!
The Eagles retreated quickly after scoring a goal.

Liu Mang guarded the top arc, waiting for Delong to advance.

It is very important to limit Deron's scoring, rebounding and assists.

Although Liu Mang was the most critical point in the Eagles' first attack from a tactical point of view, Liu Mang didn't get any data in his first attack.

Delong was very excited to face Liu Mang, and his hands were shaking a little when he advanced to the frontcourt.

Paul met Liu Mang twice this season, and each time was worse than the last time. If Paul can't win, Deron really wants to win!

Although Deron's statistics are much worse than Paul's, his evaluation is not much worse than Paul's. The reason is that he did not lose against Paul head-on, and even had an advantage, and he even defeated Liu Mang once!
This time he wants to do it again!
Facing Liu Mang who extended the three-point line, Delong used the explosive speed that did not match his body shape, trying to force him!
The last time I played against Liu Mang, I showed confidence!
but!

Liu Mang figured out Delong's purpose before Delong tried to push forward. As a rookie, Delong was too easy to reveal his thoughts. At the moment Delong exerted his strength, Liu Mang took the initiative to press on Delong while Delong was making preparations for a few tenths of a second.

Deron's weight and strength give him a physical advantage at the point guard position, especially though he is a rookie, but he will be 22 years old in June, and his physical development is already very mature.

If Delong speeds up, Liu Mang won't be able to stop him.

But this time, Liu Mang judged the timing well, pressed up at the right time, and interrupted Delong's breakthrough!
"Ding... Features: Triggered by gloves, the host's aura suppression ability takes effect."

Deron was not able to increase his speed, so he was posted by Liu Mang, and Liu Mang's body pressure was very strong. Liu Mang was a circle thinner than Deron. Deron's body shape was a tall version of Raymond Felton, which was very similar to Baron Davis. He was 1.9 meters tall and weighed 95 kilograms, which was similar to the weight of Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

But Liu Mang's strength exceeded what his size should have, and he interrupted Delong's breakthrough.

Delong wanted to change direction, but Liu Mang followed immediately!
Delong felt that Liu Mang was like a big net, covering him like that!

Watching Deron change directions continuously, being stuck or retreated by Liu Mang, and accurately grasping every defensive footstep that blocked Deron's breakthrough, the fans on the scene began to scream and cheer!
Liu Mang's defense is more active and serious than usual!

Liu Mang really underestimated Deron last time. Judging from the data, there is not much difference between Deron and Felton. He felt that Deron hadn't tapped his potential yet, but he didn't expect that it was just the tactical needs of the Jazz. Felton can only be compared with Deron in weight and strength. Deron's speed and explosive power are far above Felton!
This time Liu Mang was very focused on defending, and his defense has also made great progress compared to the last time he played against the Jazz!

Deron changed direction from the beginning to break through, and dribbled near the top arc for seven or eight seconds, and the more he dribbled and changed direction, the farther he was from the three-point line!
If it wasn't for Deron's good control of the ball, he would have been almost robbed. Seeing that 24 seconds had passed in the 17-second attack time, Deron quickly passed the ball to Boozer who was pulled inside the three-point line to respond.

Boozer originally wanted to pick and roll, but Deron insisted on playing Liu Mang single-handedly.

Boozer received the ball, there was not much time left in the attack, and immediately started a single play. Facing David Lee's defense, Boozer rushed to the free throw line and made an emergency stop jump shot...

Boozer's mid-range shot was so accurate that he hit a jumper with an emergency stop!

Liu Mang looked at David Lee's defense and didn't know what to say. When Boozer was about to make a breakthrough, David Lee made a complete misjudgment and jumped up directly.

This is expected. The coaching staff has already weakened the positions other than Liu Mang and Kwame Brown. Today's starting power forward is David Lee, and the substitute is Horry...

Offensive and defensive transition, the Eagles attack.

When Liu Mang came to the frontcourt, the opponent's defender changed, and he saw Delong defending him.

The helpless move of the Jazz.

Originally, the Hawks didn’t have Tracy McGrady on the court, so Kirilenko could defend Liu Mang, but Deron couldn’t defend against Iguodala’s catch and cut. Coach Sloan didn’t dare to let Deron defend Korver’s run.

Liu Mang observed the opponent's defense. Devin Brown chased Korver very closely, and Kirilenko tended to shrink.

Deron posted it at the first time. Like other teams, the main defense is three-pointers. This is a common defensive strategy for all defensively disciplined teams in the league against Liu Mang.

He didn't dare to shoot the ball, and would rather break through the pincers, allowing Liu Mang a chance to pass the ball, and not allowing Liu Mang the space to play singles outside the three-point line.

However, Liu Mang felt that Delong's post-defense had some problems. He seemed to be very confident in himself. Taking small steps meant to guard against his breakthrough, because the body pressure of the post-defense was not that strong.

Liu Mang took the initiative to bully and press on him, forcing his way from the right side!

Delong quickly moved sideways to the left rear, and he didn't kill the movement. He waited for Liu Mang to break through and then took a step back.

However, Liu Mang only took one step, and there was a worse difference than Deron expected!
Liu Mang stepped to the right side of the top arc, stopped suddenly and pulled out!

Delong was still walking in small steps at this time, waiting for Liu Mang to press up and shrink back immediately after Liu Mang took a deeper step. He was not ready to take off at all, so he could only stand on tiptoe and reach out to interfere.

Liu Mang already has an advantage of two centimeters in height, and his arm span has grown a lot, especially Liu Mang's self-confidence!
Liu Mang did not hesitate to make a three-pointer, and the king of the three-point shot made up for the problem of the lower jump height caused by Liu Mang's sudden jump. The shot felt perfect, and the shot crossed a beautiful arc and fell into the basket!
5 to 2, the Eagles lead!
With an offensive evaluation of 76, a defensive evaluation of 79, a passing evaluation of 83, and a comprehensive ability evaluation of 79, Deron is very good as a rookie. Since the beginning of the new century, in the rookie season of a player who entered the NBA as a point guard, only Liu Mang, Wade, James, and Paul are the rookie point guards who performed better than Deron in their rookie season.

Moreover, Deron's greatest suppression of Paul is not his high scoring, but his rookie season's ability to defend Paul's shooting percentage far below the average level. Deron played against Paul 4 times this season, with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. In two games, he defended Paul with 10 of 2 defenses.

But to guard against Liu Mang, there is still a long way to go!

Deron is still too young. If he wants to stick to Liu Mang and shoot a three-pointer, Liu Mang can only rush into the middle distance to enter Kirilenko's defensive range and pass the ball to Iguodala to handle. But Deron is overconfident and wants to challenge Liu Mang.

Hiko shot!
After Liu Mang scored a goal, he spread his hands and pointed his mouth at Deronnu, with a sense of sight that there is no way the young master can make the shot.

Deron was very aggrieved, and quickly advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Although Deron was annoyed this time, he didn't have the same headache as before. He was scolded by Coach Sloan who stood on the sidelines when he retreated just now.

Facing Liu Mang's close defense, Deron protected the ball and asked Boozer for a pick-and-roll.

Boozer's pick-and-roll is as solid as Garnett's, and Deron and Boozer seem to have a natural tacit understanding. They played the pick-and-roll very well. The two seized the time difference. Pass to Devin Brown in the corner.

Devin Brown seized the opportunity and hit an open three-pointer!

Open three-pointers and chasing players without the ball are the only two advantages of Devin Brown. He did not waste this opportunity.

5 to 5 tie, both teams played very well at the beginning of the offense.

The Eagles chose to play against the Jazz!
The Eagles mainly open space for the Jazz's outside shooters, preventing Boozer from receiving a pass from Deron to shoot or attacking the basket. Boozer cuts to the basket and Kwame Brown goes to cover the defense. They would rather let Boozer pass to the players under the basket.

As for the Jazz, there is really no good way to deal with Liu Mang's high-post singles. It is difficult for Deron, Kirisek and Harprin, who came off the bench, to defend Liu Mang alone.

They dare not double-team directly from the top arc. After receiving the ball, Calderon and Iguodala can take the opportunity to play better offensively. They would rather defend the basket and block Liu Mang's three-pointer and double-team Liu Mang from the middle distance, allowing the Eagles to shoot outside.

In addition, every time Deron passes the ball to a teammate, the Eagles will defend the receiver and would rather give others a chance!
Gradually, Deron felt that he was being targeted!

It is basically impossible to score. After the pick-and-roll, the Eagles double-teamed him.

No assists when passing the ball.

Even when trying to grab a rebound, the Eagles would rather not grab the rebound themselves and block him!
With Liu Mang as the core of offense, responsible for controlling shooting power and attracting defense, the Eagles once played on par with the Jazz!
At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles played an offense that exceeded people's expectations. Liu Mang scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in the first quarter. He played very hard, shot as fast as he could, used all the pick-and-rolls, and led the team to 27 points in a single quarter, only one point behind the Jazz.

As for Delong, he deeply felt that he was definitely being targeted!

From a tactical perspective, he attracted a lot of defense and allowed the Jazz to score 28 points in a single quarter, but he only had 3 points, 0 rebounds and 1 assist.

Deron felt that the defense he encountered was not the defense that a rookie should encounter!

　Ask for a wave...! ...Recommend a ticket!
