The Hawks' tactics are very effective today.

When discussing the Raptors yesterday afternoon, the biggest headache for Liu Mang and his teammates was Milicic, the new superstar.

"Dako Milicic, ability evaluation 96, offense 90, defense 96, pass 86, rebound 97, three-pointers 39, mid-range shot 87, layup 94, speed 82, strength 93..."

If Duncan never admits that he is a center, from his ability evaluation, Milicic is already the strongest center.

Why has Milicic made a big move every year in the past three years and become a superstar?

It is because he is too comprehensive on both ends of the offense and defense, and every improvement is targeted. The Raptors always give Milicic the greatest room for making mistakes and give Milicic plenty of time to make progress.

In this season, it is true that Milicic's single defense is not as good as Kwame Brown, but better than Howard and Garnett. Milicic's assisted defense is not as good as Garnett and Howard, but better single defense.

Milicic can't compare with the strongest, but that's the best comparison.

Milicic is like the contemporary Hakim Olajuwon.

Olajuwon is stronger than most other inside defenders, and is stronger than most inside defenders in single defense.

This is what Milicic is like. Compared with single defense and auxiliary defense, Milicic is not the best, but they are all in the top few centers in the league!

The same is true on the offensive end. Milicic is not as good as Yao Ming in the low post and mid-range shot, but the breakthrough and pass are better; breakthrough and mid-range shot are not as good as Garnett, but the strength of the low post is stronger than Garnett, and the passing is even more than half a pound.

Milicic has shown his talent in defense and passing since his first year of coming to the Raptors, and his rebounds have also risen last season. By this year, his scoring ability, which has been criticized, has also improved greatly this season. So far, he has averaged 21.5 points, 11 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 3.5 blocks and 0.7 steals per game.

On the offensive end, Milicic can shoot mid-range shots, play singles at the basket, cut in, and break through with the ball. It is too comprehensive. Although there is no three-pointer at all, it even regresses from the 50-point rating in the rookie season to 39. Because he doesn't practice at all, he specializes in the skills within the three-point line, and Milicic has all had at least a first-class offensive methods within the three-point line.

If you don’t consider the speed, Milicic is like Odom who keeps serious and has no three-pointers, and his defense is better!

Just like during Michael Jordan's first three consecutive championships, he played against the Rockets six times in the regular season, and was hit by the Rockets led by Olajuwon, making people imagine what the result would be if the Rockets entered the Finals in those three years. Milicic is now difficult to deal with.

Milicic has no obvious weaknesses, has comprehensive offense and comprehensive defense. She is currently the most popular best defensive player and has also ranked in the top ten for a long time... The most outrageous thing is that Milicic just turned 23 in June last year...

Milicic now plays similar to Olajuwon, who is also 23 years old in the second grade. When Olajuwon was in the second grade, he averaged 23.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 3.4 blocks. Milicic's steals were far inferior to Olajuwon, but his passes were much stronger than Olajuwon. Coincidentally, the two of them had two other weaker stars around him to help the team reach second in the division.

For Milicic, the Hawks have thought of countless inside matches, but they can't stop it. Milicic does not have such obvious flaws as other super centers. This is the most difficult point to deal with. If you have to talk about flaws, it is not three-pointers. But with such good mid-range shots, he doesn't need three-pointers at all. Milicic's scoring has been very stable this season. Almost every game is between 15 and 25 points, which is not too high, but it is also difficult to defend him from the points.

The Hawks played very anxiously at home last time, and they were also behind in the game. Finally, they relied on the outside to make a thrust shot and won.

The players discussed for two hours without results, and the coaching staff did not have a good strategy the next day. If such a center can have a good way to deal with it, Olajuwon would not be so difficult to defend against back then, so he could only compete for strength.

But the Hawks had just started their away games in a row, and they were head-on like the last time they encountered the Raptors this season, which was too unfavorable for the Hawks, so Liu Mang simply changed his mind.

Instead of trying to find a way to defend Milicic, we start with off-field factors.

"The war of attrition of physical fitness", Liu Mang made this suggestion to the coaching team.

The Raptors are a very capable positional team. Their power forward Lewis can play small forwards. Although they are not good at defense, their defense is very fast, which means they are active.

The other four people, TJ Ford, is the fastest player in the NBA. Joe Johnson and Richard Jefferson are of good physical fitness, Milicic is also good physical fitness, they can run and keep up, and the Hawks are pulling them to speed up at the fastest pace.

Although he was at most 10 points at the beginning, after he returned from the seventh minute of the second quarter, when the Hawks changed into positions and played slowly, the opponent's physical fitness in the back-to-back game was severely consumed by the Hawks, and the second reason was that the Raptors were a little unaccustomed to the sudden slowdown of the Hawks and were beaten 6-0 by the Hawks.

During the timeout, Milicic said nothing at the bench on the Raptors, like a child who was wronged.

There were no substitutions on either side, and the Hawks continued to send Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Grant Hill, O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller.

The Raptors continued to send Capono, Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, Delfino and Milicic to one- and four-small lineups.

After the timeout, the Raptors' frontcourt ball.

The Raptors wanted to play a stable attack. Milicic mentioned that they would catch the ball at the free throw line. The Raptors began tactical running. Capono and Joe Johnson two three-pointers were very open. Richard Jefferson went around and bypassed Milicic and then cut in!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The connection between Milicic and Richard Jefferson was passed!

When Delphill's name floated in front of Liu Mang, he immediately rushed towards the opposite direction of Richard Jefferson.

Delfino was shocked when he saw Liu Mang pounce. He didn't even catch the ball and got out of hand! The ball flew out of bounds!

Delfino didn't expect that Liu Mang would be in a blockage at this time!

When Richard Jefferson cut in, Brad Miller still took a step inside the free throw line and couldn't catch up. O'Neal Jr. rushed to the basket and it was difficult to catch up with Richard Jefferson. Only Liu Mang, who had switched defense with Grant Hill, had the opportunity to block Richard Jefferson. Milicic used this to pass the ball to the even more inconspicuous Delphino.

But Liu Mang judged that Milicic's pass target was not Richard Jefferson who seemed too obvious, but Delphino who was ignored on the other side.

Every time Milicic is in a bad mood, the passing movements will have a noticeable slower feeling. Milicic is systematically rated as "weak-poor" and it is difficult to play out. In this way, the time-poor pass he is good at is gone!

Milicic has rarely had time to be depressed this season. After all, he is basically the best center in the league. Milicic faces Yao Ming twice this season, but in fact he has the upper hand. Just like Gasol, he restrains Yao Ming and even does better.

But when encountering Liu Mang, Milicic will easily be frustrated whenever he encounters setbacks in the game, especially the feeling of a gap that leads so much and is quickly caught up.

If Milicic passes this time, it would probably be difficult for Liu Mang to block it, but the key is that Milicic's mentality is a bit broken!

Milicic was even more unhappy even though his teammates didn't catch the ball.

Seeing Milicic's frustrated expression when he returned to defense, Liu Mang felt that the opportunity had come!

Opportunity to completely reverse the game situation!

Liu Mang received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. When Jason Terry saw Liu Mang staring at the basket, he knew what Liu Mang was going to do and immediately went to the bottom corner to open up the space.

Brad Miller went to the other bottom corner, and O'Neal Jr. also went to the middle distance, and played together for half a season. Although the two veterans couldn't understand Liu Mang's eyes in the inside, Jason Terry made such a running position, and everyone knew that Liu Mang was going to come by himself!

When Liu Mang came to a step outside the top arc, Richard Jefferson posted it up and did not give any room to shoot three-pointers. Richard Jefferson's defense was nothing to say, and Liu Mang did not choose to break directly. Milicic's inside defense threatened too much.

Liu Mang waved to Grant Hill to pick-and-roll, Grant Hill immediately came out to block Richard Jefferson, Liu Mang took a step and shot directly!

When Joe Johnson encountered a pick-and-roll change defense, he immediately rushed towards Liu Mang, but Liu Mang's current backward curve was even bigger! Although he failed to trigger the King of Drawing this time, Liu Mang's backward made Joe Johnson react very quickly and did not cause substantial interference!

Richard Jefferson, who forced himself to squeeze from Grant Hill, could only reach out and pull Liu Mang, but when he met Liu Mang, Liu Mang had already thrown the ball!

"Beep"

"Clang"

“Beebeep…”

The referee's whistle was originally good, but suddenly it became very messy...

Milicic, who grabbed the ball from the inside, watched the referee make an interference with the ball, and his mentality completely collapsed!

He just saw the ball hitting the basket and jumped in and grabbed the ball. As a result, the ball did not leave the cylinder of the basket, which means it could bounce on the basket or bounce in. Of course, it could also pop out, but Milicic touched the ball in advance and was blown to interfere with the ball!

Liu Mang originally only had three free throws, but it turned out to be 3 1!

This ball, let alone the Raptors players felt weird, Liu Mang opened his mouth wide...

Seeing Milicic hit the ball on the ground crazy, Liu Mang was stunned when he heard the system prompt: "Can you still do this? You still have a self-destruction?"
