When the second quarter came back, the two sides replaced most of the rotation lineups to compete.

The Hawks' lineup is quite deep, with Marvin Williams, Willie Green and Hinrich sitting on the bench.

This rotation lineup is already pretty good, at least it's much better than the Heat, but if compared with the Wizards, it's obviously almost there.

After all, the Wizards not only sat on the bench with "defensive expert" Bathir, but also two Crawford and Vucevic who scored nearly 15 points, so the Wizards were in an advantage without any suspense during the rotation stage.

However, the Hawks were not at a very obvious disadvantage in the second quarter. From this point of view, it is not difficult to see that this Hawks is a team with very strong tactical execution.

Although head coach Larry Drew is not a famous coach, he has also made the Hawks a strong team.

In addition, although the Hawks' lineup depth is good, it has a very critical issue.

That is, the defense in the rotation stage is down one level compared to the starting lineup.

With Crawford's inside and outside shots in the second quarter, he still helped the Wizards gain the upper hand, and the Hawks did not cause too much storm in this stage of the second quarter.

Until the end of the half, the Wizards still held a 13-point lead, and the situation looked completely good.

After returning from the second half, the Hawks obviously began to speed up, and their offensive attacks became faster and faster.

From the previous attack round, it had to be delayed to 24 seconds, and now it basically solved the attack within 15 seconds, with the purpose of freeing up more time to chase points.

Otherwise, when the eagle falls behind double digits, if the time is not controlled properly, then the Wizards can even kill the eagle even if they are polished.

No matter what, the Wizards are the team that has the upper hand in this round of the series. If there is no player on the Hawks to explode, then no matter how strong the tactical execution is, it will probably be difficult to defeat the Wizards.

Wall and Aldridge's offensive feel were still hot throughout the second half, especially Wall, who was not ruthless when facing Teague, scored 21 points and 7 assists in the first half, completely treating Teague as air.

As for Aldridge, he is also very stable. Even though Horford has strong defensive ability, facing a power forward player like Aldridge who mainly uses jump shots, Horford can only interfere as much as possible.

"Du~Du~Du"

Finally, with the whistle at the end of the game, the Wizards defeated the Hawks 14 points in the first round of the Eastern Conference Finals and took the lead in getting a good start.

Aldridge and Wall can definitely make a contribution to the Wizards' victory in this game.

Among them, Wall scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists in 33 minutes of the game, and almost broke through the entire Hawks' defense line with his own strength.

Even though the person in charge of defending Wall in the fourth quarter had become Joe Johnson, Wall, who had already killed red-eyed, was completely unstoppable.

Especially when Yao Ming can pull to the outside line to make room for him, Wall's breakthrough has become even more sharp.

As for Aldridge's game, he was still stable in this game. Aldridge made 11 of 17 shots, 1 of 2 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 7 free throws, contributing 28 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in a stable manner.

It is worth mentioning that three of Aldridge's four assists came from Klay Thompson.

Because in Yang Fan's tactical system, Thompson is the player who has opened up space for Aldridge.

Simply put, once Aldridge is double-teamed with the ball, Ade can pass the ball to Thompson as soon as possible, and then Thompson will end on the outside.

As an off-ball player, Thompson's defensive ability is still far from being comparable to his peak, but his three-point shooting from the outside is already showing his strength.

During the regular season, Thompson shot 43.2% of his three-point shooting percentage. Although it has declined after entering the playoffs, it is still maintaining 40.1%.

So as long as Thompson stands on the outside, Ade can play more comfortably.

For others, in order to protect Yao Ming, Yang Fan only allowed Yao Ming to play for 21 minutes in this game. In the 21 minutes of his appearance, Yao Ming contributed 7 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, which perfectly played his role.

Paul George is definitely the player who performed the worst in this game. Facing Josh Smith's defense, George obviously struggled on the offensive end.

As we all know, Josh Smith has a relatively average single defense ability, but he is a wild-speed forward. He is very restrained against a player like Paul George who can both break and shoot.

So George only made 2 of 14 shots in this game, and with 4 free throws, he barely handed over a 9-point, 6 rebounds and 3 steals.

Fortunately, Yang Fan has become accustomed to Paul George's intermittent failure. After all, this problem has not been a day or two for George. Even at his peak, George often has a ghost and a ghost.

In Yang Fan's opinion, this is really normal. Anyway, for George, Yang Fan can accept everything except for the key goal, except for the key goal that Yang Fan refused to let George defend.

As for why George is determined not to defend his last shot, because as we all know, where there is George, there is a final shot...

After the game, Hawks head coach Larry Drew was very modest. He not only took the initiative to find Yang Fan on the sidelines to shake hands with him, but also personally sent blessings to the Wizards.

When Yang Fan saw this scene, he realized that no wonder Larry Drew was able to hold Tyron Lu's thighs tightly.

Even after Tyron Lu became the head coach of the Clippers, the first thing Tyron Lu did was to receive Larry Drew into his assistant team.

Because of this humble attitude and good coaching ability, no one will dislike the coaching coaching team.

As the saying goes, when he doesn't hit people with a smile, seeing Larry Drew's good attitude, Yang Fan waved his hand modestly, and then stood on the sidelines to greet Larry Drew.

In fact, Yang Fan knew very well about Larry Drew's attitude, that is, Larry Drew very well understood that the chances of the Hawks being able to win this round of the series are not very high.

In other words, the Hawks were beyond his expectations for being able to reach the Eastern Conference Final this season.

Solidar Larry Drew hopes to leave a good impression on Yang Fan. Not to mention that he is just a few words in front of the media, but at least he should not put down the wrong end.

After all, everyone is still vivid in their minds about the fate of "Zen Master" Jackson. Jackson has proved perfectly with his actions that offending Yang Fan is definitely not a good thing.

…………

"I am very satisfied with the team's performance. Whether it is new players or veterans, they all played their own value on the court."

"But the Hawks are also a great team. With the creation of head coach Larry, this Hawks has become very threatening."

"So until the series is over, the team will remain focused and strive to play every next game."

"What I want to say in the end is that Paul (George) has been entrusted with important tasks since he came to the Wizards, but no matter what, he is just a sophomore rookie and is still in the growth stage of his life."

"I hope the media will not report randomly here, because some irresponsible remarks may cause trouble to others."

"I also hope that the fans will not blame each other. After all, the Wizards can reach today is the result of everyone's joint efforts." At the post-match press conference, head coach Yang Fan said a little serious.
