NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

In the last game, when the Spurs players played with Chang Tiancheng, almost every move needed to be decided by watching Chang Tiancheng's actions, which made Chang Tiancheng feel a little uncomfortable, and he still hoped that his teammates could rely on their own judgment of the situation on the field to make choices.

When Chang Tiancheng left the court, the offense of the players on the court was even more chaotic, even like the previous team's star Keldon seemed a little helpless on the court, and finally went to the road of individual singles.

After the last game, his teammates had obviously gone home and done their homework, and they knew exactly what their problems were. On the one hand, after the team's former point guard was traded away, they couldn't adapt for a while, and on the other hand, because Chang Tiancheng's personal leadership aura was too strong, people couldn't help but just want to follow his rhythm.

After clarifying the team's tactics, the players on the field also adapted to Chang Tiancheng's seven-second offensive tactical system, and naturally integrated faster and could better play their strength. Keldon's previous in-pass connection with Sochan is a prime example.

Murray is still ready to carry out the tactical arrangement that the coach has previously said, and he still cooperates with Collins in the hope of creating an opportunity for Collins to take advantage of the height difference once again.

However, after this blocking, Keldon, who was supposed to switch defenses, did not choose to come over to defend him, but began to wrap Collins with Chang Tiancheng, completely emptying Murray who was standing outside the three-point line.

Collins was on the verge of conceding the ball under a double bag, so he quickly passed the ball back to Murray. Murray looked at the empty defense in front of him, and he was embarrassed not to shoot again, so he raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

It's a pity that Murray is not a consistent three-point shooter, although he has a certain projection ability, but the three-point shot is not his main scoring method, and this shot finally ended in iron.

Sohan Gao jumped high to collect the defensive rebound, immediately passed to Chang Tiancheng, and then rushed to the front court of the Hawks at full speed, a rhythm that he can already say is very familiar to him. However, Capela has also played beside Harden for so many years after all, and the moment he didn't scramble for rebounds, he began to follow Sochan back to defense, and from time to time he overtook Sochan by half a body to prevent him from going all out.

After Chang Tiancheng dribbled the ball past half court, there was a sudden pause, which made Murray, who was in charge of defending him, think that he was about to make another half-court LogoShot, so he hurriedly jumped up and tried to block.

But Chang Tiancheng made a gesture of worshipping Buddha, and after shaking Murray, he continued to break through to the inside line of the Eagles. Seeing this, Deandre Hunt hurriedly stepped forward to block Chang Tiancheng's breakthrough route. However, this was exactly what Chang Tiancheng wanted, and he didn't even use his eyes to see, but passed the ball directly to the bottom right corner, which should have been the position that Hunter was responsible for defending.

McDermott, who was standing in the bottom corner, received the ball, and the three-pointer got up and down, scored again, and scored five points in a row.

At 12:28, the Eagles were completely suppressed in these rounds. Coach Snyder rubbed his face, trying to keep himself awake, he was thinking about whether to continue to call a timeout to adjust the team's tactics, but fortunately, the first quarter was almost over, and it was not too late to make adjustments when the break came, anyway, the first quarter had already collapsed like this, and there was no need to waste another timeout.

As Trae Young missed a three-point shot, the referee's whistle blew, and the first quarter ended with players from both sides resting.

The Hawks players were surrounded by Coach Snyder as soon as they got off the court and began to listen to the next quarter's tactical set-up, while the atmosphere on the Spurs' side looked much more relaxed. After all, with a 16-point lead, the mentality is definitely different from that of the Hawks players.

Popovich took out the tactical board and began to make the tactical arrangement of the second quarter: "At the beginning of the second quarter, the five people who started can rest, you have all played the first quarter, you must be very tired."

Chang Tiancheng didn't actually feel too tired, on the contrary, he liked the feeling of playing a full quarter, because it could make the offensive rhythm more fluid, which was very suitable for his simple and rough fast attack system. But since Popovich has promised to think about his health, let's listen to his advice and execute the rotation.

"Langford, Graham, Branham, Diop, Collins, you five are ready to play in a moment. Popovich had already decided on the second quarter when he was thinking about it, "You don't have to think about continuing to implement the run-and-gun tactics that the starters just played, just keep the point difference as much as possible, I allow you to lose some points, but until the starters play again, I want you to at least maintain a lead of more than 5 points." The

players who were named nodded their heads and said that they would do their best as long as they were on the field.

The referee's whistle blew on time, and the second quarter of the game officially began.

The Hawks, for their part, have made some personnel rotation, sending their own sharpshooter Bogdan Bogdanovic, last year's rookie Jalen Johnson and two flexible interior players - Satdiq Bey and Onyeka Okongu to pair with Trae Young, and it seems that they are going to return to the main tactic of using Trae Young as a ball-handling core when Murray was not here.

In this lineup of the Hawks, only Trae Young can hold the ball on the court, and the advantage is that he can give all the ball to Trae Young, let him play to his heart's content, and it is easy to score points quickly in a short period of time.

But the disadvantage is Trae Young's physical problem, you know, Trae Young didn't rest for a minute in the first quarter, and now looking at this posture, his playing time in the second quarter will not be short, so if he continues to play, his physical fitness will become a hidden danger for the Hawks in the second half.

Chang Tiancheng sat next to Popovich and carefully observed Trae Young's performance on the court. Although they are both ball-handling cores, Trae Young and Chang Tiancheng's preferences on the offensive end are very different.

Although they all use shooting as their offensive chassis, Chang Tiancheng is more inclined to fast break, and then drive his teammates to run with him.

Trae Young, on the other hand, is clearly more inclined to positional offense, and he is good at making multiple pick-and-rolls with his teammates in positional battles, and finally finding a reasonable opportunity, which is somewhat similar to Doncic, another ball-handling core who participated in the draft in the same year as him.
