Chapter 338 The Powerful Mystery of the Eagles

Before the Eastern Conference finals, the media from all walks of life had their own predictions. They thought that the Celtics would win two games in a row and push the Hawks into a predicament; I even considered the situation where the Eagles won two away games in a row, although the probability of this is extremely low.

But the reality is that the Eagles actually defeated the Celtics with a big score in two consecutive away games, almost crushing the Celtics.

Especially in G2, the Celtics won several controversial and advantageous penalties, but the result has not changed.

The young Eagles defeated the Celtics with BIG3 in an invincible posture, which can be said to have completely subverted everyone's expectations.

How could the Eagles be so strong?Why are the Hawks so strong?

This is not only a question that the Celtics need to sum up, but also a topic that the entire league and even the entire basketball world needs to discuss and think about.

The RUN-GUN of the Suns was kicked out of the playoffs early, and today the Spurs have repeatedly used strong interior defense to restrain the so-called small ball tactics.The Hawks used their small ball tactics to get rid of the mighty Celtics in two consecutive games.

All kinds of theories surfaced, even Dong Qiudi couldn't tell the truth from the fake:
[-]. The reason why the Atlanta Hawks can handle the Celtics is because they are not playing purely small ball tactics.

Most of the time, the Eagles are playing with the normal starting lineup. They just suddenly speed up at the critical moment of the game to change the situation on the field.

What needs to be pointed out is that while they are fast, the points conceded on the defensive end are lower than that of the regular lineup. That is to say, the Eagles' defensive advantage has not disappeared in this Eagles raid formation that can be called a death lineup.

20. The small ball model of the Hawks cannot be copied, because you can't find a second two-meter-old average of [-]+ per game, the ultimate rebounding monster.

Countless people are praising the greatness of the small ball and talking about the gorgeous beauty of basketball, but they have forgotten the embarrassment of the Suns being repeatedly killed by the Spurs.

However, in this Eagles team, we can no longer find such drawbacks, that is because the Chinese rookie Kraft Ruan solved the team's weak rebounding problem by himself.

When he first entered the league, some people called him a low-profile version of David Lee. Facts have proved that in terms of defensive end and ability to protect the basket, David Lee is not worthy of Kraft Nguyen's shoes, and Card Huo Ruan's historical low-level skills are even more unmatched by David Lee.

In this regard, he is on the same level as O'Neal and Barkley. O'Neal and Barkley are far inferior to Ruan Erniu in terms of rebounding.

Such a continuous supply of rebounds from a guy who is destined to become a top 60 or 70 star in the league is the key to the Hawks' victory.

4. The underrated Atlanta Hawks, they really have BIG[-].

Joe Johnson, a powerful player recommended by league stars, even has the reputation of "Modern Jordan" on the far side of the Pacific Ocean (American fans take it seriously).

In fact, during the more than two years that he led the Eagles independently, the team's record has been on the rise. Like Pierce, Joe Johnson is also a strong floor player. His offensive skills are quite rich, completely There are 1000 ways to put the basketball in the basket, and he is low-key and modest. Who doesn't love the second leader of such a team?

Josh Smith, the Georgia native star, has risen year after year in the team's ranks.Under the influence of Kraft this season, he gradually developed low-post skills.

This has become a rare ability for the current league insiders. This year is his contract year, and his performance also feels worthy of a tens of millions of contracts.

Mike Bibby is also a player whose strength is greater than his fame. The white devil who has not been selected as an All-Star once in his career. At his peak, he is fully equipped with the level of the top five in the league.Compared with the gorgeous playing style of white chocolate J-WILL, Bibby is indeed too simple, but his stability and big heart are indeed a jigsaw puzzle that a championship team dreams of.

In the end, there is still no way to get around Kraft Ruan. There is no need to repeat the abnormal data of the rookie in the Celestial Dynasty. From the moment he joined the league, he was destined to become a part of the superstar history.

What needs to be mentioned here is his assist data, from an average of 5 times per game in the regular season to an average of 7.4 times per game in the playoffs.

Kraft Nguyen's assist ability is underestimated!

In fact, in the Hawks Raiders lineup, he and Bibby have always existed as a dual-core, and Jon Jonson is also a good assister. All three of them have enough passing vision.

In contrast, the Suns, driven only by Nash, are easier for the defensive side to find a way to target.

Well, anyway, the Hawks are blown to the top of the universe, who blames them for crushing the Celtics in two straight games?
At the press conference after the game, Ruan Erniu, Jiongsen and Woodson attended together.

Although before this, River Documents also said that the Celtics will come up with a solution in the G3 game, and they will return the game to Boston, but the words of the losers will not become the focus, and the boys of the Eagles are the ones that everyone is chasing Target.

The CNN reporter asked directly: "Are you going to sweep the Celtics?"

Sweep is a specific vocabulary, which means that the Eagles will defeat the Celtics with a disparity of 4:0 and advance to the finals.

Woodson said in a low-key way: "I don't think the Celtics will catch it without a fight. So far in the playoffs, only the Lakers have completed a sweep in the first round. Our goal is to advance first. It doesn't matter whether it is swept or not."

Er Niu and Jiong Jisen also affirmed the head coach's statement, saying that promotion is the first priority, and sweeping is not their pursuit.

A TNT reporter asked: "Now that the entire league is discussing your 'Eagle Raid', can it be considered that your small ball tactics are already above the Suns' RUN-GUN?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "If there is any game in the regular season this season that made me feel helpless, it must be the game against the Phoenix Suns. We were completely defeated and had no power to fight back.

Of course, at that time, MB hadn't come yet, and our lineup hadn't been in place yet.If I have a chance, I hope to have a good comparison with the Suns next season. I believe that everyone will have an intuitive comparison of our small ball tactics when we are on the court. It is meaningless to discuss these now. "

The reporters of the Boston Globe seemed to have given up hope of defeating the Eagles head-on, so they focused on Jon Jonson: "Joe, you were a member of the Celtics (rookie season), and you were also a member of the Celtics. Leader of the Hawks, are you satisfied with your current performance and status of the team?"

囧囧sen said indifferently: "I am very grateful that I started my career in the Celtics, because here I learned the essence of the Celtics' spirit: 'Despite everything, we only pursue victory!' This point , I will never forget it for a moment!"

Who said that athletes have simple minds but well-developed limbs?
Jon Jonson's answer was full of wisdom and standards.He cleverly pointed out the sinister intentions of the Boston reporter, and also responded to all this in the way of the Celtics. In order to win, the Hawks will not be hindered by anything.

At this time, sowing discord has no effect.

Ruan Erniu smiled and acted as a guest host. He said, "Okay! Next question!"
