From today on is the king

Chapter 545 544. Tactical Response

A three-pointer was scored in the opening game, Liu Mang clapped his hands and signaled his teammates not to rush, take your time, and just defend well next time.

The Eagles attack, Liu Mang advances to the top of the arc to hold the ball, commanding Rahim to the left side of the three-second zone and Muhammad covers and runs, and then Muhammad goes around the baseline and takes Kenyon Martin to the outside of the three-second zone on the right side of the basket. Running from the bottom corner on the right, he brought the attention of Kenyon Martin, who wanted to shrink, to the bottom corner. Muhammad looked like he was going to give Liu Mang an off-ball pick-and-roll at any time.

Prince opened the air at a 45-degree angle on the left, and Raheem took advantage of the opportunity to press Richard Jefferson under the basket. Ratliff lobbed the ball to Raheem who sat under the basket and leaned against Richard Jefferson!
Raheem punched Richard Jefferson, and Jason Collins quickly shrank from the free throw line to double-team Raheem. At this time, Kidd yelled "don't move" to tell Jason Collins not to shrink, but it was too late.
Kidd glared at Jason Collins angrily, why are all his center forwards at this level?

Consciously, the ability can't keep up.

A center forward with barely enough ability, but with such poor consciousness.

From the Eagles' running position to the final position, Kidd could tell right away that the Eagles were playing the triangle offense that the Eastern team used in the All-Star Weekend!

It's just a little modification, but the three offensive points of Raheem, Ratliff, and Liu Mang are very clear, but Kidd didn't realize it at the beginning, and he saw the clues after he settled down.

Richard Jefferson had already put pressure on Raheem with this ball. Even if Raheem scored, it was just a layup.

And Jason Collins went to double-team Raheem, Ratliff rushed in and dunked directly, Kenyon Martin was still ready with Kidd to deal with Liu Mang and Muhammad's off-ball pick-and-roll at any time, there was no time to defend, and he could only watch Ratliff dunk.

At the beginning, a big center who was not good at attacking made a dunk, which brought a huge boost to the morale of the Eagles.

The Hawks immediately returned to defense after scoring, and Ratliff's dunk caused the Nets fans to boo quickly.

Jason Collins felt Kidd's anger, and quickly picked it up and sent it to Kidd. Kidd advanced to the frontcourt. Kidd came to the frontcourt and saw Liu Mang defending him, and called Kenyon Martin to come out to cover.

While the Eagles were focusing on Kidd, on the other side Richard Jefferson ran out of a gap through Jason Collins' pick-and-roll.

When Raheem, Liu Mang, and Prince were all focused on Kidd, he suddenly passed in the middle of the pick-and-roll, and passed it to Richard Jefferson who cut in at a 45-degree angle on the right!
Kidd scored 34 points in the last game, and Kenyon Martin's own threat. This game started from the outside and focused the Eagles' attention on the top arc. Richard Jefferson rushed to the basket and scored two points.

The Nets beat the Eagles 5-2!Leading the start!

It was the Eagles' offense again, and they were not affected by the opponent's two consecutive goals in the opening game. They didn't deliberately slow down the tempo, and avoided entering the situation of grinding the defense in the first two games of the series.

Obviously, the Nets, which have averaged close to 6 points per game for two consecutive seasons relying on the average points per game in the middle and lower reaches of the league in the past two years, prefer the rhythm of grinding.

On the contrary, it is the third and fourth games that seem to have a big difference in points. Even if the fourth game is lost, it is only because Kidd is unexpectedly accurate, and the overall strategy is still fine.

Therefore, from the very beginning of this game, the Eagles decided to stick to their own rhythm, play a game with balanced offense and defense, and not let the rhythm of the game get out of control.

The Nets retreated quickly, saying something to their teammates while retreating from Kidd.

Liu Mang pushed forward, still the same tactic, Ratliff pulled to the free throw line, Liu Mang handed the ball to Ratliff, and he cut into the basket empty-handed, Raheem blocked Kidd for Liu Mang, wanting Liu Mang to better take Kenyon Martin away, but Kidd stopped next to Raheem, Richard Jefferson immediately switched defenses, followed Liu Mang to the bottom corner.

Richard Jefferson's footsteps are much faster than Kidd's. He sticks to Liu Mang tightly, and his height and weight are barely enough to withstand Muhammad's air cut. Kenyon Martin can also try to chase Liu Mang without the ball. The two may shrink into the inside at any time.

Kidd resisted Raheem, not to mention, he was really better than Richard Jefferson. In just one round, Kidd found a way to deal with Raheem's inside triangle attack, which was very powerful.

But why is the triangle offense so unsolvable?
Because this tactic is not to kill, but to have enough choices. Liu Mang took Richard Jefferson to the top arc, Ratliff passed the ball back to Liu Mang, and then entered the basket by himself.

Back to the singles tactics again, and the defender in front of Liu Mang changed from Kidd, who was the best defensive first team, to the second-year Richard Jefferson who is still playing with his body!
Richard Jefferson looked at Liu Mang with a sly smile on his face, and he was stunned, why did he face this guy again!Isn't this guy opening up the space!Boss Kidd, it's different from what you said!
Liu Mang continued to dribble the ball under his crotch, and Richard Jefferson's head immediately appeared in the head of Liu Mang's breakthrough in the previous few games, and took a step back, Liu Mang grabbed the ball and wanted to shoot!
Richard Jefferson rushed back and took off to block the shot!
But Liu Mang's jumping action was abruptly withdrawn, and when Richard Jefferson pounced on him, he bumped into Richard Jefferson and let out a wailing...

"Beep..."

The referee whistles, Richard Jefferson shoots a foul!
Richard Jefferson looked at Liu Mang, who patted his wrinkled jersey on his chest, and felt very aggrieved: You screamed so miserably, it seemed like what happened to you, you started screaming before you hit you!If you want to call out, it is I who call out!

Liu Mang walked to the free throw line, heaved a sigh of relief, and made a free throw.

Two of three free throws were made, the first free throw was ironed, and the last two hits were not bad. Two points were scored and the score became 4 to 5.

It was the Nets attack again, the referee sent the ball to Richard Jefferson, Richard Jefferson sent it to Kidd, and Kidd received the ball and advanced it to the frontcourt.

Richard Jefferson and Kittles are on the left side of the basket. On the other side, Jason Collins covers Kenyon Martin to delay Muhammad. Kenyon Martin comes to the top arc. Kidd and Kenyon Martin pick and roll.

Kidd immediately took a step forward to dribble, and suddenly stopped and changed direction. Liu Mang hurried to keep up, but was blocked by Kenyon Martin again!
Kidd and Kenyon - Martin continuous pick and roll!
Kenyon Martin's pick-and-roll, this blocked the person is really solid, don't look short, but the body is wide!

Muhammad finally made a save at this time, but it was too late. Kidd continued the fiery touch of the previous game and hit a mid-range shot.

Kidd's rhythm is well grasped. The Nets played a 7-4 opening game, leading the Eagles by three points!
Kidd still feels good in mid-range shots today. The Eagles felt the pressure. Liu Mang quickly rushed over with the ball in the backcourt, trying to disrupt the rhythm and prevent the Nets from falling into position and playing pick-and-rolls.

Liu Mang rushed all the way to the frontcourt with the ball, joined before Kidd was about to post it, and rushed to the basket with all his brains, regardless of tactics.

This kind of abruptness will make the tactics difficult to play, but the Nets' defense against the Eagles' triangle offense has also become chaotic. Although Kidd pushed, Liu Mang still went off the line and from the right to the edge of the three-second zone.

At this time, Rahim took advantage of Muhammad's off-ball pick-and-roll and rushed straight to the basket. Liu Mang passed the ball to Rahim, and Rahim made a flying throw...

It's so hard!

Turned around from the basket and fell down.

The Nets made a mistake and were shrunk to the basket by Liu Mang, and they happened to have the best chance to rebound!
Kidd judged the rebound and grabbed the defensive rebound!
Kidd picks off the rebound, and that's a big deal!The Eagles hurried back to the defense, but Richard Jefferson, who was blocked by Muhammad just now, was about to go down!

Prince chased with his life, but Kittles also made a fast break on the other side. Kidd accurately delivered the ball to Kittles. Prince had to chase Kittles.

Richard - Jefferson's dunk helped the Nets rewrite the score to 9 to 4, and the Nets led the Hawks by 5 points.

The Nets started fiercely, forcing the Eagles to call a timeout first.

The offensive end is not a problem. The Eagles' offense is not bad, but it seems that the Nets' shooting is on the light, especially Kidd, which is really unacceptable.

A good base did not attack, but suddenly started to attack!

The Eagles emphasized the air cuts on both sides of the Nets and the defense of Kidd's mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll.

……

After a timeout, the Eagles had the ball and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt.

The timeout is not a separate timeout for the Eagles. The Nets also have time to make defensive adjustments to the Eagles' triangle offense.

On the Nets' side, there was obviously a feeling that the defense was going to expand. Jason Collins was left under the basket to double-team anyone who played low singles, and Kenyon Martin was in a defensive posture.

Seeing Ratliff facing Jason Collins alone, Jason Collins is standing directly under the basket. Indeed, this position is good for defending against anyone who falls low, but Kenyon Martin's zone defense position is almost parallel to Muhammad. It is indeed a good defensive position...

So, Liu Mang met Kidd who jumped up, and sent a lob to the basket. Ratliff received the ball and turned around and threw a small hook to hit it easily.

Kidd saw that Ratliff received the ball and scored easily, only to find that the biggest problem with their defense was that Ratliff was in a good position, stepping directly on the arc of the reasonable collision zone to receive the ball. This position, no one double-teamed, for a strong [-]-foot center, it was simply a gift!

No matter how good the defense is, there are always loopholes. The Nets put too much emphasis on defending against the Eagles' triangle offense, but the Hawks don't just play the triangle offense. This is just after watching the Lakers' style of play in last year's finals, the Eagles also imitated it.

However, Kidd really admired Liu Mang for being able to discover the loopholes in his own defense in the first place. He turned around and glanced at Liu Mang who was retreating.

Liu Mang retreated back to the defense. While returning to the defense, the right hand that passed the ball just now showed a sword finger, and tapped Kidd on the temple with his mouth curled up and a playful expression.

Kidd felt that his IQ had been violated!
