Chapter 79 Good Opponent

PS: Thank you for the 444 starting point coins rewarded by Shapolang 100 and Kouroubao

Is Chris Paul familiar with such tactics?

He is so familiar!
Because except for a Turkish center who shot from outside the 3-point line, most of the first quarter.The Eagles are the face that we are all disciples of Sloan.And after entering the league, who is CP3's lifelong enemy?The little fat guy in Utah Heights, of course.

Constant pick-and-rolls, constant mid-range shots, and tenacious defense.This is standard jazz style.

If Larry Brown were here, he would have grabbed Mike Woodson by the collar and yelled, "It was agreed that defense comes first, and offense is autonomous? You and I won the championship in the Pistons! Why do you want to learn? Sloan's loser's tactics?"

Of course, Woodson looked confused, and said helplessly: "I just emphasize defense, and the offense is autonomous! Who knows what kind of pick-and-roll cooperation these stinky boys will play? Maybe Sloan didn't want Stockton and Malone back then. Playing the pick-and-roll, maybe these two guys came up with it by themselves!"

Seemingly clear history often cannot withstand scrutiny, but looking at vague things often contains truth.

Paul, with a handsome face, looks at the Hawks' bench from time to time. Why do the Hawks play such a smooth pick-and-roll?

Is it Joe Johnson?No, if this is the case, this kind of cooperation should have appeared last season.After all, at that time, both Josh Smith and Marvin Williams were in the formation.But in fact, there was no such cooperation last season.

So, the answer is yes.The one who brought all these changes can only be this year's No. 3 rookie - Kraft Nguyen.

It must be the stable mid-range shooting ability of this Chinese man, which made Jiongjisen willingly pass the ball for him! (Get assists for yourself!)
"I underestimated this Chinese man. He not only has a super low-post finishing ability, but also has a tactical mid-range shooting ability. That is to say, he can play both with the ball and without the ball. It is entirely possible for him to compete with Joe. *Johnson is compatible!" Paul instantly understood the horror of this Eagles team.

As a top team leader, Chris Paul has never been swayed by the so-called media.

The Eagles did have an impact on the team's existing No.1 because of the strong addition of the Chinese.But that doesn't mean the two can't coexist.

After all, Jiongsen is the person who has been the third or even the fourth leader of the Suns.It is also a good thing to say that Joe Johnson is not good at playing off the ball. It is entirely possible for him to have a high-quality chemical reaction with Ruan Erniu.This year's Atlanta is definitely not a big team.

After the start of the second quarter, the main players of the two teams were replaced one after another.The game entered the scoring time of Bobby Jackson, the bench bandit, although the old guy is 34 years old this year.But once he enters the attack state, he can still deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

As the best sixth man of the gorgeous Kings team that year, Bobby Jackson is really a character that cannot be ignored.If it weren't for the injuries that plagued him, maybe he would be an All-Star player.

Seeing that Jackson scored 2 consecutive three-pointers and a beautiful counter-attack assist.

Woodson decided to send the main players on the field in advance. The game has been played so far, and the two teams seem to have seen their shadows from each other.After many seasons of hard work, both teams are eager to achieve a substantial breakthrough this season.

That being the case, this preseason isn't just about honing the roster.

This is the battle of declarations for the new season of the two teams.

After the Hornets coach Byron Scott saw the Hawks' substitutions, he did not hesitate to replace the main players.

The Croatian Stojakovic, who made 3 of 0 shots in the first quarter, regained his touch in this quarter.

As soon as Peja came on the field, he received a pass from Paul at a 45-degree angle. Facing the eclipse who was one step away from him, he directly hit a 3-pointer with a jumper.The moon eclipse watched the basketball go into the basket, he swears to God, he tried very hard to block it, but the opponent's shot was a bit high.

The inner activity at the moment of the lunar eclipse is like this: whoever says this guy is 6 feet 9 inches (206CM), who am I to worry about!
In fact, Josh Smith doesn't need to be too angry, because it is also a tradition for some European players to report their height as short. For example, Tony Kukoc, the best sixth man of the Bull Dynasty, has a registered height of 6 feet 10 inches.But the common thread among his Bulls teammates is that he's at least between 6-foot-11 and 7 feet tall.

Once a good shooter finds the touch, he is often unstoppable on the offensive end.Peja hit consecutive 3-pointers in the next two rounds.If it weren't for this period of time, both Jon Jisen and Ruan Erniu had guaranteed good shooting percentages, and the score would have been opened by the Hornets.

If a weak team wants to become a strong team, it must constantly improve its ability to play against the wind.The game of crushing the opponent strongly is exciting, but the real test of the team is the confrontation of biting the score and carrying the pressure on the body to move forward.

While dribbling, Paul called his teammates to move.He doesn't want to give up this preseason game even more now, the Atlanta Hawks are indeed a good opponent.

Tyson Chandler once again mentioned the high post and made a pick-and-roll with Paul. When the latter broke through the inside and faced the defense of Erniu, he made a concealed pass and handed the ball to Chandler.

Chandler sent the ball out with a throw, but Marvin Williams, who shot out from the diagonal, slapped the ball to the backboard with a beautiful block.

Ruan Erniu soared into the air, took the rebound, and after starting the "Bull Sprint", he went all the way to the Hornets' basket like no one, and finished with a powerful tomahawk dunk.

Who should bear the credit for this goal?Of course it was Marvin Williams who helped defend in time.

However, from a deeper perspective, Woodson's egg head should be more credited.If he hadn't repeatedly emphasized the piston-style shrinking defense, such a beautiful block would not have been possible.

Why, for the Eagles and Hornets, are good opponents to each other?
Because both sides are forcing out the best of themselves.

Last year, that is, in 06, China became popular with an academic star—Mr. Yi Xitian, who has many classic quotations.Ruan Erniu himself is a university major in history, although he does not quite agree with some of his views.

But Mr. You Yi said something that Ruan Erniu deeply resonated with: "To be successful, you need friends, and to achieve great success, you need enemies."

In today's game, Ruan Erniu and his Eagles found a good opponent.

David West made another 18-footer, and Jon Jonson then hit a 2-pointer at the corner.

Lunar Eclipse successfully got rid of the defense and made an empty cut to the basket.Peja immediately responded with a precise 3-pointer.

The entire second quarter was carried out in an airtight rhythm.Defensive strength and offensive and defensive transitions continue to increase, and both teams have a feeling of meeting their opponents.

The halftime score came to 51:51, and the two teams were tied!
