Mike Budenholzer said before the game:

"The configuration of the Knicks is great, and the style of play is becoming more reasonable. We should work harder on defense, otherwise we will swallow a defeat in the away game!"

"Lu Wei's injury is still recovering. To be honest, I don't know how much he will come back. But before he comes back, we must be ourselves!"

Not afraid of confrontation, and reveals incomparable strength.

Mike Budenholzer has such confidence.

The Eagles have maintained a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the latest wave of consecutive away trips, and the core of the team, Louis Williams, is not present.Let everyone look at the Eagles with admiration.

And Mike Budenholzer pushed the coach from the Spurs to a climax in one fell swoop.

The Eagles' offense is not very clever, but the distribution of the ball is more reasonable, and the use of role players is obviously more handy.

Center Horford took fewer shots than before, reduced jumpers in efficiency, and increased low-post offense.

Being able to attack and defend inside is the biggest contributor to the Eagles' recent win.

The Eagles' team rankings have been rising, but no one is optimistic about winning the championship, because there is no superstar to back up, this is the root cause of the experts' criticism.

After Lu Wei's return, the Eagles' technical level will surely rise to another level.

The game starts soon.

The Hawks lineup: Jeff Teague, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Kyle Korver and Devin Harris.

On paper, the quality of these players is pretty good.

Devin Harris and Jeff Teague partnered in the backcourt.

It's hard to imagine a two-gun style of play. Two players of the same height also have impact and shooting ability. The speed ensures that the opponent cannot play a fast break when defending.

Even Li Muhua felt a little guilty when he saw the backcourt of these two people.

The Knicks are good at fast breaks.

If these two play one alone, they will not be Li Muhua's opponent. Now the two partners can make up for each other to avoid the breakthrough of the backcourt players.

With this lineup, the Eagles have crushed many teams.

The reason is very simple, let's all grind the ground together, want to break fast?No play, let's talk about my two backcourt players first.

Fast break is the simplest offensive method, but now it makes coach Mike Budenholzer complicated.

After a brief communication with Coach Woodson, Li Muhua also had some ideas.

Don't want to make a pass?
Ok.

After entering the game, Horford did, as usual, resolutely play in the low post, and with the cover of the backcourt player, he succeeded quickly, but this situation only lasted for half a quarter.

In the second half, Horford couldn't catch the ball.

Standing on the inside with a dazed face.

The teammates sprinted in turn, but when they got close to the penalty area, they made a sudden stop for a jump shot.

In the first quarter, the Eagles trailed by two points.

The entire game was suppressed. This is the result that the Eagles did not expect. It is also grinding the ground. The Knicks play very slippery.

This is where the Eagles are careless.

However, in the second quarter, Korver and Stevenson started to explode on the perimeter at the same time.

After Stevenson was traded to the Eagles, he changed his previous role as a perimeter defender and participated more in the Eagles' perimeter offense. In fact, as Li Muhua's former teammate, he had a good perimeter touch before.

Especially in this game, Stevenson ran a lot of open opportunities.

Partnering with Korver, it means that the Eagles have multiple shooters from beyond the three-point line at the same time. These players also have a simple style of play, constantly passing the ball through the outside to find shooting space.

One after another, it began to rain for three minutes.

The same is true for Jeff Teague and Josh Smith. This lineup is very helpless, and the whole f*ck is floating on the outside, which is quite scary.

Coach Woodson may not call consecutive timeouts.

It's just that it still can't stop the Eagles' touch.

Li Muhua didn't end all the time, trying to find a way to bite the score from the outside.

The Eagles' arrangement in the backcourt is quite targeted. For example, when Li Muhua held the ball, first Devin Harris entangled, and then Jeff Teague double-teamed.

Small, fast, and agile backcourt mobility was played to the extreme by Mike Budenholzer.

At the end of the second quarter, the Eagles tied the score.

This grueling game is quite tiring.

Pay attention at all times, and you can't be sloppy. The key is that the score has not changed significantly.

Back in the locker room, Coach Woodson rarely summoned the players for a tactical analysis: "We conceded a lot of goals in the first half. In the final analysis, it was still on the outside defense. I plan to adjust the lineup, Iman Shupet and LI, You are watching from behind. I don’t need you to participate in double-teaming inside. Kent and Cameron, concentrate in the middle, put their wings to shoot in the middle, and finally is Tyson. Your task is more important, and the rebounds are handed over to others. You're going to push all their low post players out!"

Li Muhua nodded. This was also a defensive problem exposed in the second quarter. In order to prevent the Eagles from breaking through, they ignored the physical confrontation with their players.

Now change the strategy and don't worry about breaking through, but the last defense is handed over to Chandler.

From a tactical point of view, Mike Budenholzer's arrangement is intended to threaten the inside line.

Coach Woodson has been the head coach for a year. From a rookie at the beginning to a mature one now, the players are very supportive. The main reason is that they are willing to change. They are not stubborn in their style of play. They trust Anthony, Li Muhua, and Chandler. Le includes such stars as Stoudemire.

Treating the stars is as warm as spring, and Coach Woodson has done this.

Big names rarely raise objections because they can adjust freely on the field.

In this game, Anthony exposed many problems. Among them, the deficiencies in defense were once again magnified. There is no problem with man-to-man marking. When the opponent starts to move, Anthony tends to lose his opponent.

Professional habits can be said to be bad habits formed from previous playing.

The boss of the team again, no one to blame.

There is no problem with the defensive attitude, but it is just a matter of his own habits. If it is taken out alone, it will inevitably arouse Anthony's disgust.

Why not say that Coach Woodson's nanny does a good job and never blames for the problems exposed.

Nor did he say it earnestly like other coaches.

Instead, he has been trying to find a way in the lineup.

If it weren't for the league awards, he might have won the Most Popular Player Award.

After the intermission, Li Muhua continued to play in the third quarter, which reduced the pressure on offense and put more energy on defense.

Other teammates too, in this quarter, the Knicks steal several balls and play fast break opportunities.

At 6 minutes into the third quarter, Li Muhua came off the field.

Defensive problems are resolved, but the opponent's scoring is limited, and the offensive end still has not improved much.
