Garnett, who had a jump ball success rate of more than 85% last season, lost the competition with his junior Bosh. The Dragon King gave the ball to the Men's new aid Lewis, who hugged the ball, kissed it, and then took the ball.

Leave it to TJ Ford and the game officially begins.

Ford held the ball through the half, and Bagliani pulled it to the outside to catch the ball. Facing Diaw's defense, he made a fake move to break through from the right. Seeing that the opponent was indifferent, he started a second time and forcibly cut into the Eagles' penalty area, attracting extra attention.

After Nate made up the defense, he handed the ball from the Wolf King's armpit to Bosh, who dunked and scored, his first goal of the new season. (0:2)

There were boos at the Phillips Center, and the audience felt that such a meaningful point should go to the home team.

Garnett clapped his hands vigorously and reminded his teammates: "It's the regular season now. You have to cheer up and don't be careless!"

Paul held the ball for half the court and challenged Ford one-on-one. He dribbled under his hips and took a step to the right. After attracting the opponent's center of gravity, he hit the ball with his right hand and redirected it with his left hand, moving away from the free throw line.

Pull-up jump shot.

With no one on guard in front of him, Paul made a steady shot and made the Eagles' first goal of the season. (2:2)

It is not easy to maintain a precise shooting touch on the basis of substantial weight gain and muscle gain. You must know that even Curry has not regained the magical touch of "Kuritian" in the 14-16 stage after 16 years.

, because Curry also gained muscle in the summer of 2016.

The Menglong team attacked and opened up their formation, with Ford and Bosh playing pick-and-roll in the middle.

Garnett switched defenses in time, and Paul also bypassed the pursuit, forming a double-team on Ford. Ford hurriedly passed the ball to the middle, and Battier made up for it in time, but Lewis on the weak side had already cut into the basket to catch the ball.

.

.

Diaw defended one against two at the basket, unable to interfere with Lewis, and watched his opponent dunk and score. (2:4)

A huge contract was offered to Lewis, and most of the media ridiculed the Menglongs' three forwards as "soft" and not tough enough. However, in the opening rounds, Bosh, Bagliani, and Lewis were working well together, and their skills were good.

Very comprehensive.

The Eagles attacked, Paul took the ball across half court and passed it to Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson played Anthony Parker in isolation, and his advantages in footwork and movement were very obvious. He dribbled the ball under his crotch, took a step to the left, dribbled behind his back and moved his right hand sideways, pulled the ball, stepped back, moved his position, and made a jump shot. (4:

Looking back, the Eagles' defense once again had problems. Lewis singled out Battier on the weak side and hit a jumper from the bottom line, helping the Menglong team take the lead again.

Lewis's height and wingspan are closer to those of a power forward, but he has the mobility and shooting range of a small forward. In a sense, he can hit anyone in the wrong position, especially when there is someone to help contain the opponent's defensive center of gravity. The Eagles "increased

Nate Battier's combination is already considered the strongest defensive front combination in the league, but it is still suppressed by Lewis and Bosh. This season, the Mongolian team may be able to make a difference.

Paul dribbled the ball across half court, handed the ball to Diaw who was positioned at the free throw line, and then ran without the ball.

Joe Johnson moved up from the weak side, and Garnett expanded outward, seemingly to cover Joe Johnson.

When the two approached, Garnett turned around and ran towards the basket. When the ball came, Diaw's pass led Garnett's movement. Garnett received the ball in a deep position and dribbled the ball.

, turned around and took off for a dunk, but the ball hit the inner edge of the basket and bounced out!

"This goal is a pity. The Hawks used all their tactics, but KG failed to dunk the ball into the basket!" Mike Breen regretted for Garnett.

The Menglong team launched a quick counterattack, and TJ Ford took the lead to complete the advance. He compressed the Eagles' defense and turned around to pass the ball to Lewis, who scored a layup. (4:8)

In the first three minutes of the game, the Menglong team played more like the Eagles last season; on the other hand, the Eagles' two goals were all singles scored by players.

As the game continues, this "abnormality" seems to be getting worse. Compared with last season, the Eagles' offense has declined significantly. It is sluggish, monotonous, and routine. These words that were almost insulated from the Eagles last season are all reflected in

The performance of the Eagles in this game.

At the end of the half quarter, the Eagles trailed the Menglongs by 8 points at 9:17, but fell into a passive position.

"In the opening game of last season, the Hawks messed up the Heat's celebration. In this game, the situation is somewhat similar, but the team that suffered was replaced by the Hawks. But it is still early, and Kimi still has time to solve the team's opening offense.

Question." Mike Breen reminded.

"I have never doubted Kimi's offensive tactics, but after losing 17 points in the first half of the game, the Eagles should tighten up their defense." From Mark Jackson's perspective, he would rather see a team with talent.

The team can defend hard.

The two commentators more or less saw some of the Eagles' problems, but the fans at the Phillips Center did not have professional standards. They only thought it was a small trouble and would not affect the team's final victory. Well, Ke Yan

He is already denouncing the team's poor performance, raising the team's current level of tension.

After the timeout, the Eagles' offense improved. Diaw held the ball at the free throw line to support, Joe Johnson cut to the basket, and Anthony Parker followed closely. After Joe Johnson ran near the penalty area, he suddenly reversed and ran back, with the help of Garnett.

The ball-free pick-and-roll got rid of the opponent. Diaw passed the ball at the right time. Joe Johnson made no adjustments after receiving the ball and hit a mid-range jumper. (11:17)

At the turn of the round, the Menglong team's offense was also successful. Bagliani singled out Diaw in the low post, relied on his skillful footsteps to advance to the basket, and hit the board into the basket. (11:19)

The "power forward" completely suppressed Diaw in the matchup. Ke Yan shouted on the sidelines and continued to express his dissatisfaction with Diaw, and was persuaded by the assistant referee to return to the bench.

The Raptors suppressed the Hawks on the offensive end, and Garnett took the initiative to make changes to "reduce" his role on the offensive end. The Eagles focused on the pick-and-roll on the offensive end, with Paul and Joe Johnson leading the offense, and Garnett took all the

Focus on the defensive end.

This kind of adjustment effectively curbed the Menglong team's aggressive offensive momentum, and also made the Eagles' offensive routine simple and direct.

In the regular season, the more complicated the better, usually the opponents will not restrict you in a very targeted way.

Paul, who had taken the lead in the offense, did not disappoint Garnett. He scored 10 points on 4 of 7 shots. The two core players worked hard on both offense and defense to help the Hawks gradually close the score.

At the end of the first quarter, Ke Yan replaced Anderson and Eddie Jones, and replaced Diaw and Joe Johnson. The lineup on the field was more suitable for pick-and-roll play.

Paul dribbled to the frontcourt, and Garnett moved toward the top of the key.

Ford thought Paul was going to pass the ball to Garnett, and his attention was distracted. Paul suddenly changed direction and rushed past Ford, all the way to the Mongolian team's penalty area. Bagliani came up to help defend, but Paul did not

In a hurry to take action, he took two steps forward and then threw the basketball behind Bagliani. Anderson rose into the air and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand, 24:27.

"Good pass, Chris!" After Anderson landed, he came to Paul, gave him a hard slap, and said with a hearty smile.

Paul's face is still grim, after all, the team is still lagging behind.

Compared with Diaw, who has insufficient impact without the ball and needs the ball, Anderson, who is better at eating cakes, can better "satisfy" Paul's requirements for the inside. And Anderson can better complete the task of squatting and protecting the frame on the defensive end, to a certain extent.

It also made Garnett's burden easier. His appearance prevented the Hawks' offensive firepower from declining due to Joe Johnson's rest. The Hawks also caught up with the score before the end of the first quarter. (32:33)

"The Hawks' opening performance was not satisfactory, but Kimi's adjustment was indeed timely. The team strengthened its defense around Garnett, and Paul took on more on the offensive end. These are the two core players of the Hawks.

The embodiment of superstar ability. Kimi replaced Joe Johnson to continue the firepower in the second quarter and replaced Diaw with Anderson. This was a very timely and effective substitution adjustment! Diaw's state in this game was not good.

Well, his steps were very heavy on the defensive end, and he failed to seize open opportunities on the offensive end and missed a few shots. Kimi made timely adjustments." Mark Jackson analyzed the first quarter of the game from a defensive perspective.

"Judging from the first game, whether the Menglong team signed Lewis with a high salary or Ke Yan recalled his old teammate Anderson, the team's goals were achieved. Maybe the Menglong team will surprise us in the new season." Mike

Brin said.

"Anderson should be grateful to Kimi. If it weren't for Kimi, it would not be so easy for him to return to the NBA. But it seems that he has gotten rid of the drugs. His physical condition is very good and he has adapted well to the feeling of the game."

While the two commentators were talking, the second quarter of the game started quickly.

Both sides sent out rotation lineups. The Eagles sent out a substitute lineup of Barea, Joe Johnson, P.J. Tucker, Bass, and Anderson. The strength was obviously better than that of the Menglong team.

Keyan specifically replaced Joe Johnson early in order to facilitate the bench lineup. However, compared to last season, Gibson did not have much singles ability, and someone needed to open up space for him. This season, Barry was promoted to the second point guard position.

Ya's style of play should be more courageous.

Facing the defense of the Spaniard Calderon, Barea's sudden breakthrough was called a decisive move!

Puerto Rico has a fierce playing style, which can effectively compress the Menglong team's defense; but his problem is also very serious. After breaking into the inside, he can't see his teammates. If he is strong enough, he will not choose to pass the ball, and he will be touched three times.

After the revelation, the Menglong team's interior defense was quickly put in place, and his offensive efficiency immediately declined.

On the defensive end, Barea was also brave enough but lacked judgment, and he was quickly fouled by the Dragons.

It can only be said that he is a backup point guard with both advantages and disadvantages. That is to say, in the Hawks, Paul is the main player to control the court, and Joe Johnson is beside him to organize. If his condition really deteriorates, Prigioni will step up behind him.

Barea performs well and excels, but if he performs poorly, his teammates will help support him.

Halfway through the second quarter, the two sides were tied at 45, and the Eagles' substitute lineup was not far behind. The balance of victory should have been tilted in favor of the Eagles; however, after the main lineup returned, the Eagles still couldn't get any advantage.

This aspect of Diaw has become the Achilles heel of the Eagles. On the offensive end, he cannot grasp the shooting opportunities, and on the defensive end, he cannot limit Bagliani's scoring. He can be called a "war criminal."

In just half of the game, Bagliani scored 18 points. The No. 1 pick who performed poorly last season proved himself in the first game of the new season.

And Mr. Billionaire Lewis also proved to the fans of the Menglong team that he was worthy of a 6-year, 108 million contract. Facing Battier's defense, Lewis combined with shooting and breakthrough, and made gains with both faces and backs, and scored a goal in the half.

13 points, which surprised the fans.

At halftime, the Menglongs led the Eagles by 7 points at 63:56.

"Damn it, what's going on! Did Dio have too much sex at night? His legs are so weak?"

"I originally guessed that there was a problem with the substitutes, but I didn't expect that the main lineup couldn't beat the Menglong. Diaw was beaten by Bagliani today. It was so blind!"

"Bargliani is still the number one pick after all. It's hard to say how much he's improved after practicing hard in the summer. Plus Lewis, I can't stand it alone! But I can understand Dior's inability to guard against Barliani, please.

Just take those damn open shots, okay?"

"Pour a cappuccino for Dior and start your assist show~"

Although Diaw is not in good condition, as a coach, he will not be thrown into the cold palace just because of his temporary poor condition. Otherwise, how will anyone come to work for you in the future?

In the second half of the game, Diaw still played as the starting inside man, and then his performance was still poor.

Diaw can't do this at all, and it also has the effect of "moving the whole body with one shot." The more Diaw fails to score, the stronger the double attack from the Menglong team to Paul and Joe Johnson will be, and the offensive efficiency of his teammates will be higher.

The lower it is.

Diaw himself is not a particularly mentally strong player. After missing shooting opportunities one after another, his self-confidence was also affected, and he hesitated between shooting and passing. As a result, the offensive efficiency was even lower.

"Kimi, we have to win Dior!" Seeing that the score difference reached 15 points and the situation became increasingly unfavorable, Atkins couldn't stand it any longer and reminded him loudly.

"Let Anderson prepare." Ke Yan nodded and acquiesced.

At the beginning of the season, it is not a big problem to give players who are in poor condition a feel for the game, but it must also be done with a margin of error and try not to affect the team's victory. In this game, Ke Yan has already

I have given Dior a lot of trust, and I believe that after this game, Dior will reflect on the serious negative impact of his uncontrolled weight gain in the summer!

However, the Menglong team, which was showing great momentum, was not the target of the Eagles' "training". At the end of the third quarter, they blocked the Eagles' first counterattack and entered the fourth quarter with a 13-point lead.

(79:92)

In the final quarter of the game, Ke Yan didn't hold anything back and directly sent a lineup of Paul, Joe Johnson, Shane Battier, Bass, and Anderson to suppress the Menglong team's substitute lineup.

Against Calderon, whose defensive ability was mediocre, Paul showed his sharpness. He continuously played pick-and-rolls with Buss and Anderson, or used the screen to directly shoot from mid-range, or used his own pass to assist the inside partner to complete the attack on the basket.

The bombing helped the Eagles launch a 14:6 attack wave, narrowing the point difference to 5 points.

The Eagles narrowed the point difference with a wave of strength, and Bass and Anderson both performed well. This also made Dragons head coach Mitchell confused and hurriedly replaced the main players to control the situation.

As soon as Lewis came on the court, he immediately hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc to help the Menglong team stop the bleeding.

Without Garnett to suppress him, Bosh was able to dominate the Hawks inside. When faced with Buss, he would decisively turn over and shoot a jumper. When Anderson came to defend, he would use his feet to attack. Bosh also slowly emerged from an extremely harsh environment, and his skills

Very comprehensive.

When the score difference returned to double digits, Ke Yan "assessed the situation" and replaced Garnett and Buss in advance, and the two sides entered the "decisive battle" in advance.

Last season's finals proved that without Garnett, the Eagles are completely different teams, especially on the defensive end. As long as Garnett appears on the court, the Eagles can play T1-level defensive quality;

On the contrary, the difference is much different.

In this game, first of all, this is the game mode. After Garnett came on the court, he and Anderson controlled the Eagles' penalty area. The Eagles held down Bosh and Bagliani. The Menglong team's offensive end was stable.

The output leaves only Lewis.

Lewis had a certain advantage against Battier in this regard, but the Hawks increased the intensity of their attack on him and appropriately let go of TJ Ford during the assist defense rotation.

The league's top speed dog did not have the corresponding shooting ability to punish the Eagles' defensive formation. He took three shots from beyond the three-point line and only hit one goal; and Lewis himself also lacked the ability to withstand the defense at critical moments.

The Eagles chipped away at the Menglongs' lead bit by bit and took the lead.

The harder the headwind is, the less likely anyone in the Menglong team can stand up. This is also a big problem that restricts this team!

Looking back at the Hawks, this game really turned around the game with the superstar-level performances of Paul and Garnett when the role players were in poor condition and the Rams were hot. This was a game of their own.

Star game!

The final score was set at 116:113. The Eagles narrowly defeated the Menglong by 3 points and won the first game of the new season.

It's just that this victory was not a satisfactory game for the Eagles from top to bottom.

Paul, who controlled a lot of the ball for the Hawks, became the player with the best statistics in this game. In the whole game, Paul scored 34 points and 13 assists, a huge double-double performance, and also won the best player of the game.

.

Most of Garnett's experience has been on the defensive end. Even so, he still contributed 20 points, 13 rebounds and 6 blocks. In fact, in this game, the first wave of adjustments made by the Hawks on the court was the addition of Garnett.

Nate took the initiative to complete it. If he hadn't made a prompt decision and switched from offense to defense, the Hawks might not have been able to control the situation in time in this game; this was also a game in which Garnett showed his value.

Fortunately, there was no danger!
