Standing pretty old

Chapter 459 Take you to see the three-point rain

"They played very tenaciously! But that's all." Ruan Erniu said to his teammates with a smile after Woodson arranged the defensive tactics.

Regardless of the first quarter of the game, the Eagles led their opponents by 5 points, but Ruan Erniu was not satisfied with the team's performance. He played too much inside in regular time.

On the one hand, he is holding the ball, and on the other hand, the team's offensive ability has not been fully released.

"Everyone needs to relax a bit. We are the defending champions. The opponents should be under pressure. In the first game of the regular season, they were more nervous than us!" Ruan Erniu continued to decompress everyone.

"By the way, our offensive and defensive transitions should be faster!" The first sentence is chicken soup for the soul, and the last sentence is the key.

In Er Niu's view, the Hawks were too polite to the Cavaliers in the first quarter, and they could have played faster.

At the start of the second quarter, Jon Jonsen led his team to play, while Er Niu rested off the court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Hawks immediately launched their own wave of attacks.

囧囧sen held the ball from the outside, facing Pavlovich's defense, it was a long shot and hit!

Subsequently, he had consecutive assists Bibby and Novak hit 3 points.

The score between the two sides increased instantly, and Daniel Gibson of the Cavaliers also scored a 3-pointer to temporarily stabilize the situation.

However, about 3 and a half minutes into the second quarter, Ruan Erniu returned to the field, and his appearance changed the situation on the field.

The Eagles' defensive end.

After Daniel Gibson of the Cavaliers broke through with the ball, he passed the ball to Lorenzen Wright, the only player in the Cavaliers who received a championship ring in this game.

This season, Wright joined the Cavaliers freely, but his playing time is extremely limited. It is not bad to be able to top the first half of the second quarter.

In fact, with Ben Wallace playing so badly, it's not surprising that Wright got a little more playing time.

Facing his former teammates, Wright was well aware of Ruan Erniu's deterrent power on the defensive end. Even though there was an open space, he still made a hasty move.

The basketball bounced on the hoop and missed!
Chris Anderson jumped up for the rebound and passed to Erniu.

Ruan Erniu didn't pass it to Dragic, but dribbled the ball through the half court immediately.

Just when everyone thought he would directly attack the basket or pass the ball, Er Niu made a sudden stop, pulled out his hand from the three-point line, and hit it!

Off the court, James couldn't believe his eyes. Could it be that Ruan Erniu didn't go to the Olympics this summer?Why is he so determined to shoot three-pointers?
Confidence comes from strength. When Er Niu found that he was able to maintain a three-point shooting rate of more than 80% in the top arc without defense, he certainly dared to make bold shots.

However, Er Niu will not blindly throw three-pointers when changing positions, or when the defender is watching him from the outside.

Sometimes Erniu fans are tricked by his highlights into thinking he's just a dunk beast in yellow.

Unfortunately, this is a completely wrong perception.

The data proves that nearly 6% of Ruan Erniu's scoring last season came from mid-range shots from the two corners and the shooting points at both ends of the free throw line.

From this point alone, Er Niu and the Supersonic "Rain Man" Kemp are very similar, and they all think he is a peerless dunker (in fact, he is), but in fact his mid-range shooting ability is not weak at all.

This is the real reason why Er Niu was able to get the second place in the scoring list last season, and this season, Er Niu has an extra top arc three-pointer in his arsenal.

Concentrate on the intensity of training, practice frantically on several shooting points, this is the shooting philosophy of Er Niu.

Regardless of Dr. Kempf's help to Erniu's shooting shape before he entered the NCAA, Ruan Erniu himself spent far more time on shooting practice than he did on fancy moves such as dunks.

In Er Niu's own words: "I have experienced double the difficulty of the fancy moves required for dunking in gymnastics, but the stability of shooting requires hard practice day after day."

It can be said with certainty that shooting also requires talent, but there has never been a shooter with no dead ends in this world.

Even top shooters still have shooting blind spots. Reasonable planning of one's shooting area and timing is also the key to a player's greatness.

In this regard, Kobe of the Lakers is obviously not as good as Er Niu and James, and he can do better with his physical fitness.

Ruan Erniu's three-point shot was just the beginning, because in the following time, the Cavaliers' defense was completely torn apart.

Who should save, Varejao or Wright?

Who can guarantee that after the save, Kraft Nguyen will not choose to directly attack the basket with the ball?

And when more than two players double-team Kraft Nguyen, will he take this opportunity to distribute the ball to the outside line, so that the Hawks' outside shooters are completely liberated?
The Cavaliers' worries happened one by one!
Ruan Erniu held the ball from the outside, Varejao rushed out, and then Erniu chose to break through, and then the Cavaliers instantly launched a zone defense, and three people double-teamed Erniu in the penalty area.

Ruan Erniu then swung the ball into the hands of Salmons, who didn't have to pass the ball anymore, and there was no defense within 2 meters of him.

Salmon made an open shot and steadily hit a 3-pointer.

James couldn't sit still, and Mike Brown had to replace him early.

But the appearance of the emperor was useless. The defending champion didn't give the Cavaliers any face because of the madness. Their offensive and defensive transitions were like a storm, constantly hitting the Cavaliers' defense.

Although James scored a drop in the bucket on the offensive end by relying on shooting, but on the defensive end, the Cavaliers have already been blown away, unable to stop the ravages of the Eagles.

After Er Niu played HIGH, he also played with his teammates.

Nolook pass again and again, alley oop again and again.Sometimes on the offensive end, you don't take a shot even if you have a chance to make a shot. Even if you waste the opportunity, you have to pass the ball to a situation where no one is defending.

This is naturally an extremely unreasonable behavior, but it is also the privilege of strong teams. After all, only strong teams are eligible to play against their opponents.

If it was Woodson last season, he must have called a timeout long ago to stop the players from such boring behavior.

However, in order to cultivate his demeanor as a famous coach this season, Egghead just kept smiling and didn't say a word on the court.

There is quite a pretentious temperament that let them play, and they can't lose this game anyway.

Will the Cavs make them pay?
Anyway, judging from the situation on the court in the first half, there is no such possibility at all.

The Hawks' three-pointers became more and more determined, while the Cavaliers were already stunned.

The Cavaliers shot 17 times in a single quarter, but what about the Hawks?He shot 25 times in a single quarter, and the extra shots were due to Er Niu and Anderson's rebounds.

Among them, the Hawks made 16 of 10 three-pointers, and 62.5% of the team's three-pointers in a single quarter made people desperate!
At 22:44, the Eagles rained terrifying three-pointers in the second quarter, and opened up a 22-point gap with their opponents in a single quarter.

This is a crashing number. At the end of halftime, the score of the two teams was 47:74. The 27-point difference at halftime seemed to make the game enter garbage time ahead of schedule.

Ruan Erniu scored 20 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists in the half.

The double-double has already been obtained, but it is a bit dangerous to get a triple-double, because the Cavaliers are likely to replace the main lineup in advance and surrender.
