From today on is the king

Chapter 884 883. The most gorgeous offensive battle (seeking double monthly tickets)
There is a fundamental difference between the Eagles' cavalry tactics and the Suns' running and bombing.

If the Eagles can't play well offensively, they will think of using defense to solve the problem, using the thinking of a playoff team.

But the Suns are different, defense?They never considered that if the opponent made the ball, the way they responded was to make more balls!

The Suns didn't think about how to defend at all, they only had offense in their heads!

This Suns team quickly became popular with people, relying on that kind of crazy energy!

Because they didn't think about defense, their defense became simple and rough. Because Liu Mang hit the basket and grabbed the ball quickly. After the first timeout in the first quarter, he hit the basket with five consecutive goals and grabbed the ball. The number of rebounds and the difference of 5.6 total rebounds averaged double rebounds per game. Before the age of 5.1, Nowitzki averaged 4 defensive rebounds per game in his career. Stoudemire did not have such a performance in the peak season of his career.

Stoudemire is good at offensive rebounds, but when it comes to grabbing defensive rebounds, he and Liu Mang can't grab them. Liu Mang's ability to position and predict rebounds is not as good as Liu Mang's. He relies on jumping to grab rebounds. In the case of Josh Smith's rebounds, Liu Mang is stronger than Stoudemire in rebounding. He grabbed offensive rebounds for three consecutive rounds.

Although Nash found the referee, the referee also warned Liu Mang. After the referee’s warning, Liu Mang did not dare to hold the ball for so long, but when he picked up the ball and threw it to Stoudemire or Marion, it took a second or two more.

Although still unable to stop Nash and Stoudemire's fast break in positional warfare, after Stoudemire and Nash had defenses against Liu Mang's ability to block and block cuts, Liu Mang could not stop Stoudemire's high position and direct dunks, but at least he kept his speed at a pace that the Eagles were comfortable with.

The goal of Mike Woodson's defensive tactical arrangement is to concentrate the opponent's scoring on Nash and Stoudemire. Liu Mang and Josh Smith defend the two.

Liu Mang's contingency strategy is to take advantage of the fact that the league has not stipulated that offensive players are not allowed to touch the ball after scoring a goal. Within the scale acceptable to the referee, he used small tricks from the beginning to slightly restrict the Suns from directly counterattacking.

However, after the Suns called a timeout, there was a countermeasure immediately. D'Antoni came up with a strange move. The Eagles only started to attack after they were in position. D'Antoni chose to hide the team from the middle distance to prevent the Eagles from breaking into the inside to waste time.

Seeing that the Eagles were going to overtake the score by relying on stability, the Suns were stunned to continue the rhythm by relying on strange moves.

Just like the Suns had to defend when the Eagles fell into position, the Eagles came out with a gap outside and had to shoot!

Liu Wei directly received the ball from the top arc and singled Nash, and Nash didn't move forward or stick to the defense. What else could Liu Mang do if he didn't throw it?You can only adjust and throw the ball with the best shooting feeling.

But as soon as Liu Mang made a shot, the Suns used Stoudemire and Marion to grab rebounds, and Big Q and Joe Johnson made consecutive three-pointers with waves.

The fans at the scene were all frightened by the Suns' style of play. They always thought that their team was the worst. Compared with the Suns, they really paled in comparison!

刘莽首节拿到18分5篮板2助攻，麦迪拿到6分5助攻，进攻端打得要多顺有多顺。

But the Suns side is smoother. The Suns' assists are not concentrated in the hands of two people like the Eagles.
At the end of the first quarter, the Eagles were 36 to 38, two points behind the Suns!

……

During the break during the festival, Liu Mang watched McGrady sweating profusely as he put on his training clothes to keep the heat, and then gulped down energy drinks before he realized that McGrady, who had to support the ball on the offensive end when the high-speed rotation could not prevent the opponent, played a full first quarter!
The pace is too fast!Counting timeouts and dead balls in the first quarter, only 22 minutes were played!Unknowingly, the first quarter passed, and when the tense game mood relaxed a little during a few minutes of rest, McGrady's fatigue suddenly came.

McGrady's physical fitness plays 8 minutes in a game, which can ensure that he can break through the ball, organize the offense and complete the three important tasks of the defensive end very well. No matter how much time there is, there must be one aspect that is not so active.

Coach Kruger didn't expect this either. The tempo on the field was too fast. It was time to replace Jason Terry when the game started for about 20 minutes, but after 22 minutes, the first quarter was over!Moreover, with such good scoring continuity, coach Kruger did not dare to make substitutions. He could only use five small lineups to fill the first quarter and consume the time when the opponent's starting lineup was all on the court.

This is also the most uncomfortable point when other teams play against the Suns. The pace of the game is too fast, which leads to big problems in rotation.

The key is that the whistle in the regular season is not as loose as in the playoffs, and the intensity of confrontation is not enough. It doesn’t matter if a small man like Liu Mang fights a big man with a bigger move, and Stoudemire can kill Stoudemire, but Josh Smith committed two fouls in the first quarter, and Iguodala was also called for two fouls when he defended Joe Johnson.

Unlike the Eagles who played faster and had fewer free throws, the Suns averaged 25 free throws per game, while their opponents only averaged 18 per game!
The referee whistled the game with the normal regular season whistle-blowing scale after the rule change, and whistled the action strictly when the inside line switched to the outside line, which made the Eagles very passive!

Coach Kruger really didn't expect the Suns to play so aggressively. It's completely beyond ordinary people's comprehension. This style of play has become a habit. If you encounter a real strong opponent in the playoffs, you must not be played to death!
However, Coach Kruger is worrying about the opponent for nothing, Mike D'Antoni never thought about this issue at all!
Coach Kruger asked Mike Woodson, and Mike Woodson had no choice but to think that the opponent would play like this.

As the head coach and offensive coach, Coach Kruger has done a good job on the offensive end, but no matter how good the offense is, there is no way. The Suns are so incomprehensible in the regular season.

At this time, Liu Mang, who was already shooting high, came up and said, "Coach, if we can't prevent it, let's use offense!"

Liu Mang thought for a while, and had some ideas about how the Spurs could win against the Suns.

It's very simple and straightforward. Attack at regular time, rely on the troika to drive the whole team, and increase the intensity at critical moments. Don't let the Suns get used to the intensity in the first three quarters and then play at critical moments. It has to be sudden, like in 07. After the Suns had a center and shooting guard who could adapt to intensity, the Spurs couldn't stop them.

The current Suns still have ways to deal with them.

Coach Kruger would definitely want to kick Liu Mang to death in normal times, but now there is no other way. Under the whistleblowing scale of the regular season, the opponent can't stop the offense at all, so they can only use offense to solve the problem.

……

After the start of the second quarter, the Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Muhammad, and Kwame Brown.

On the Suns side, Nash played with a lineup of Brazilian Lightning Barbosa, Casey Jacobson, Marion, and Steven Hunter.

After the Suns came up, they still continued to run and play.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang and Jason Terry started to play singles continuously, and the Suns were tough.

Last summer, the Suns had a rotation of 9 players who could run.

The Eagles tried their best to suppress the rhythm to their own good rhythm, using the height advantage of Kwame Brown and Muhammad to make a fuss, so that Liu Mang and Jason Terry had better singles opportunities.

The old and new two-time Best Sixth Man's Langbi style of play, after the Suns replaced the rotation lineup in the second quarter, they could only maintain the point difference with the opponent.

Liu Mang scored 30 points in the half, Jason Terry also scored 15 points in the second quarter, Kwame Brown made 4 extra dunks in the second quarter, and scored 10 points in a single quarter. The Eagles scored 41 points in the second quarter, but the Suns also scored 40 points. Nash seemed to have only 7 assists in the half, but the entire Suns team played under his organization!

Magician Johnson said that in the first decade of the 21st century, Nash, Kidd, and Paul were the only players who could truly become superstars by organizing offense. They don't necessarily have to get a lot of assists, but every pass they pass is valuable!
After halftime, the Eagles were still one point behind the Suns 77 to 78.

The current Suns may only belong to the regular season. Before they gathered the "Sun Dirty" combination of Raja Bell, Kurt Thomas, and Jaylen Rose, they would stop when they encountered a strong defensive team in the playoffs, but the current Suns are too invincible in the regular season!Except for the three rare situations where they feel bad or the opponent's hand feels explosive than them, and the referee relaxes the penalty scale, they can only be described as invincible in the regular season this season!

……

During the intermission, Coach Kruger took the two core players Liu Mang and McGrady to discuss with Mike Woodson.

In this game, should we continue or try to solve the problem with defense.

Mike Woodson generally does not participate in the decision-making when it comes to voting for the choice of play. He is a very good assistant coach and knows that what he should do as a defensive assistant coach is to come up with defensive tactics when the head coach needs them.

McGrady is also not good at this aspect, so Liu Mang mainly decides to help Coach Kruger who has choice anxiety.

Liu Mang thought of Nash's long-distance running endurance like that of a football player, and his ability to lead the team to 88 points in the first half with only seven assists. In the second half, the Suns replaced the main lineup with a deadly attack.

Under such circumstances, Liu Mang said without hesitation: "We will continue to attack! I don't believe it! Our attack will lose to them!"

Liu Mang is enjoying the feeling now, the feeling of challenging the team with the strongest offense, it's so cool!
In the matchup with Nash, Liu Mang felt Nash's strong fighting spirit, so Liu Mang still wanted to continue to fight Nash even though he scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half and still failed to overtake the score.

Only the match against Nash could have this feeling. Only Nash would use offense to solve the problem so desperately. Liu Mang decided to be willful.

Seeing Liu Mang's expectant expression, the three pairs of eyes looked at each other, and they knew it was unreliable to ask this kid!

It's better not to ask. Now that I ask, Coach Kruger finally found someone to help him make decisions, so he can let Liu Mang go.

Just in time, use this game to see how powerful the Suns' offense is!

Only when you know how strong your opponent is, can you think of a way to deal with it.

Liu Mang knew about the problems the Suns would encounter in the playoffs. He knew that the Suns hadn’t succeeded in the playoffs, but others didn’t know that when the Suns reached the middle of the season and played 41 games, they had 34 wins and 7 losses.

Coach Kruger also regards the Suns as potential opponents in the finals!

……

……

After returning from the intermission, when Liu Mang and Nash came to their respective benches to take off their training clothes, they looked at each other tacitly, smiled at each other, and understood each other's thoughts.

Just now!
Liu Mang scored 30 points in the halftime, the highest in the game, but Nash also scored 24 points in the halftime!
30分8篮板4助攻VS24分4板7助攻，两人的表现旗鼓相当！

The strong teams that Nash encountered before all wanted to deal with him from the defensive end. After encountering Liu Mang who couldn't defend the defensive end, he chose to attack. This is the first time Nash has encountered this season.

This made Nash feel too rare.

Although the two are just friends of gentlemen, they cherish each other!
After the start of the second half, the offenses of the two teams were fully released. On the one hand, coach Kruger was making waves with Liu Mang's temper. On the other hand, he was trying to see how strong the Suns' offense was. Except for Liu Mang, the other four positions used the team's best athletic abilities, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.

On the Suns side, D'Antoni was even stronger. Nash's excellent organization in the second quarter allowed Joe Johnson, Big Q, and Stoudemire to rest for a whole quarter.
Liu Mang didn't just shoot alone, but he and McGrady mobilized the whole team's offense in order to compete with the Suns' aggressive offense.

Liu Mang scored 8 points and 3 assists in the third quarter, McGrady scored 8 points and 6 assists, leading the Eagles to 42 points in a single quarter, but the Suns also scored 42 points. When entering the fourth quarter, the score difference was still 1 point!

After three quarters, the Eagles scored 119 to 120 and are still one point behind the Suns. The team with the strongest offense in the east and west, scored in the three quarters that other teams in the league would hardly be able to score normally!

……

As the saying goes: A good swimmer drowns in water.

This sentence does not mean that all those who drown can swim, but that those who can swim are often too confident, and they tend to kill themselves when swimming.

The Eagles, including Liu Mang, had full confidence in their offense before the game against the Suns, although the Eagles are now averaging 109 points per game behind the Suns' 111 points per game.

But since January, the Eagles have averaged higher points per game than the Suns. The Eagles are better able to use their defense to make the opponent's mistakes and counterattack.

Moreover, the Eagles have been playing defensive counterattacks for three years, and this year is to further carry forward the spirit of waves. Liu Mang feels that his offense will not lose to the Suns.

However, Liu Mang knew that the Suns' scoring-heavy style of play, maybe he could abuse the food and beat the sky, and the Suns could only win by more than a dozen points, but the Suns' offense was unstoppable!
Liu Mang scored a super triple-double of 48 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists, Tracy McGrady scored 31 points and 17 assists, Jason Terry scored 23 points, Kwame Brown scored 21 points and 9 rebounds. A total of 7 Eagles scored in double figures. The 7 players in the main rotation today scored in double figures. The team scored 164 points in total. The score in a single game can be ranked No.1983 in 184 years!
But first, the Suns in front of us!
The Suns scored 171 points!
At the last moment, Nash made a three-pointer, raising his scoring to 171 points in a single game!
The Eagles still lost in the end. Although Liu Mang and McGrady scored 77 points together, four of the Eagles scored more than 20 points and 7 scored in double figures. They still lost to the Suns with 8 players and 8 players scoring in double figures.

Especially Nash's 41 points and 15 assists, although not as many as McGrady's assists, he did a better job organizing the offense!

The Suns have set a record so far this season-the Suns played against a certain team for the first time this season, and they all won!

Against the Spurs, they won 116 to 99 by nearly 20 points, against the Pistons 113 to 112 Nash lore, against the Heat by 15 points, against the Kings and Mavericks... the first time they played against any team, the Suns won them all.

This time against the Eagles, the Suns still won!
After the loss, coach Kruger and Mike Woodson took some of the recorded things of the game, ordered the videographer to edit the video of the game, and then took Stockton and Chip England to a meeting overnight.

……

In the game between the Eagles and the Suns, the fans were crazy!Even if they lose in the end, they are just regretful, not angry.

The offense of the two teams was so impressive. Stoudemire made all kinds of dunks, Kwame Brown responded with supplementary dunks, Nash and Stoudemire connected in the air, and Josh Smith challenged Stoudemire's bullet speed with a higher jumping height.

Liu Mang and Nash's three-point confrontation, Nash showed McGrady the art of passing...

There is also Iguodala's counter-gliding dunk, Joe Johnson's catch and turn jumper three-pointer...

There are many, many more... In the end, the two teams were immersed in the offensive confrontation, and the Eagles who lost in the end just felt regretful...

The players play well, the fans watch it well, and the league feels even better!

The ratings have been soaring since the first quarter, and David Stern wanted to commit suicide. Why was the game scheduled so early that Chinese fans couldn't see it!

　Thanks to my friends for the monthly tickets, Xiaofeng tried his best to think of the most reasonable result in the first match against the Wind Son, and rarely discussed about the plot, so I will not spoil the next thoughts.

　　Thank you friends for your rewards, thank you friends for your monthly pass!
　　Friends who still have a monthly pass, don't keep it!Xiaofeng is very grateful for the full five votes, thank you!
　　The fourth lord is here, so excited. When Xiaofeng didn’t have a lord at the beginning, he dreamed of having the first one. With the first one, he dreamed that he could turn the top three fans with different colors into lords. Now there is a fourth... I really look forward to seeing that all ten on the first page of the fan list are all lords... But this book may be difficult, and I hope the next one will have a chance.

　　The Rabbit Grass God is chasing after him very closely, hoping to persevere until the end!Today should be four more. Before leaving get off work at [-] o'clock, if the boss is not caught secretly typing, there will be another chapter, and there will be another chapter at night!
