Mike Woodson's defense arrangement is much more specific, mainly in details. The Hawks' defensive system began to become clear in Liu Mang's second season in the NBA. It was perfected in the third year, mainly to deal with the defense of Magic players.

detail.

After the tactics were laid out, Coach Kruger watched as Liu Mang brought his teammates together to discuss the specific details of the offensive end. Coach Kruger and Stockton arranged the tactical framework. Liu Mang, McGrady, and Iguodala,

Calderon, the four players who hold the ball more, discussed the details. This is the offensive strategy that the Eagles have determined this year.

Even though Calderon doesn't have much playing time, he has a really good mind. He is a player who relies on his head and touch to play, and he is very proficient in tactics.

Liu Mang has a new task. Although there are some pitfalls, it is enough to complete it. He now has 292,197 superstar points. He urgently needs to complete the task to replenish his superstar points. He collects one million and draws a lottery!

The Hawks are very motivated and united to help Kwame Brown, but the Magic team has a bad atmosphere this year.

Raheem is not having as good a season as he was last season. It’s not that he has less possession of the ball or that he’s not playing well.

He is the kind of player who rarely gets injured as long as he is willing to play. He is very resistant to grass. Except for suspension, he will never stop playing due to injury.

He has taken more shots this season, averaging 22 shots per game in the first seven games of the season, a career high.

Averaged 25 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game, setting a career high in assists.

But his shooting percentage dropped to a career low of 42%, which was the lowest shooting percentage at the beginning of any season in his entire career except for the shortened season.

The main reason is that Grant Hill has suffered a serious decline this year, which is beyond the expectations of everyone in the Magic.

Grant Hill played more than 60 games last season, averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game. He performed well, but this season his form has plummeted, like an avalanche.

It's not that Hill stopped playing hard, but that he really couldn't stop the decline in strength. He could still score more than 10 points and four or five rebounds per game, but his offensive organization declined rapidly.

Averaged 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, four assists less.

It's not as simple as eight points, but Grant Hill doesn't have the energy and ability to organize an offense!

The Magic started much worse than last season, with only 3 wins and 5 losses. Raheem and Howard, the second-year players, became the Magic's only two pillars.

If it weren't for Raheem's 25-8-4 average and Howard's 17-13 average that helped the Magic guard the rebounds, the Magic would rank third in the league behind the Heat and Clippers.

Rebounds make it difficult for the Magic to win.

Since the start of the game, the Magic have averaged 90 points per game, third from the bottom in the league, and conceded 92 points per game, second in the league, second only to the Spurs. The defense is very good, but there is no offense! Averaged 44.5 rebounds per game, if not for a large number of

In terms of offensive rebounds, they almost became a team with less than 90 points along with the Rockets and Trail Blazers. So far this season, the only teams that average less than 90 points per game are the Rockets and Trail Blazers. Those with less than 95 points are also

There are only five teams, and the Spurs average 97 points per game.

If you play well, the team atmosphere will be good, because if you play well, it proves that the team's arrangements are correct. There is a reason for players to play more playing time, because they can help the team win.

But if the game is not played well, everyone will complain, especially the players who did not get so much playing time, they will start to complain and become dissatisfied.

Grant Hill has only played 10 games this season, but his age is visible to the naked eye. The key is that Grant Hill has a salary of 16 million and has one year of maximum salary. He is better than Raheem who also has a maximum salary.

A season salary of $14.9 million is still high!

Raheem didn't mind this. He took the initiative to sign a six-year contract without getting the maximum contract in order to help the Hawks get Tracy McGrady.

But others are different. Just like the future Rockets players who will obey Harden's contract but not the association chairman, conflicts within the Magic team have begun.

Like Turkoglu, he felt that he could completely replace Hill, but the head coach did not give him a chance.

Rahim saw a group of people on the bench opposite chatting happily, and looked at the cold atmosphere on his side...

The path he chose was his own. Rahim had prepared for the worst at the beginning. Although he misses the past days now, the feeling of playing as the strongest player on the team also makes him reluctant to let go.

Rahim, who only turns 29 in a month, doesn’t want to be someone else’s little brother when he is at his best.

It's just... Rahim looked at the only player on the team who was still laughing. Why was his best teammate actually this guy?

…

The pre-match preparation time was over and the two teams came onto the field.

The Magic sent out a lineup of Nelson, DeShawn Stevenson, Hill, Raheem, and Howard.

For the Eagles, the lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown appears.
