Liu Mang sprinkled magnesium powder into the air amid the noise of cheers and boos.

The Eagles' lineup has changed significantly today. Liu Mang watched Rasheed Wallace sitting on the sidelines in training clothes. He didn't pay much attention to this aspect before. Now he feels that among the Eagles stars, he has sacrificed the most.

, probably Rasheed Wallace, who is now on the bench, and has no complaints.

With that face, if Liu Mang hadn't had a lot of contact with Rasheed Wallace, he really wouldn't have been able to tell that he was such a person.

The Hawks sent out a lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.

Correspondingly, the Heat sent out a lineup of Jason Williams, Wade, Posey, Antoine Walker, and O'Neal.

In order to speed up the defensive rotation and enhance mobility to deal with the Heat, coach Kruger discussed with Rasheed Wallace and put Rasheed Wallace on the bench to play the center of the second team.

Liu Mang lamented the prejudice that Rasheed Wallace's face brought to people, but this is a good thing for the team. The team has people and can make corresponding lineup rotations according to the opponent's situation.

When Liu Mang stepped onto the court, a long-awaited system prompt came.

"Ding... Pat Riley's iron-blooded field has opened, and the Heat's entire team's style of play has become iron-blooded. Because of Pat Riley, the referees have become more tolerant of the Heat's iron-blooded style of confrontation."

Depend on!

Liu Mang glanced at Pat Riley, who was sitting with his legs crossed on the sidelines. This guy came back just to cause trouble!

This iron-blooded realm is really similar to the iron-blooded realm of the Minnesota trolls!

It's just that one is scolding and the other is confrontation.

After all, he is a godfather-level head coach, his style is very distinctive, and the referees are used to it.

Walking to his free throw line, Liu Mang waited for Kwame Brown to jump the ball.

Kwame Brown came to the center circle and saw an angry shark walking onto the court.

Now O'Neal is full of dissatisfaction with the 01 generation.

In the finals of last season, I was fucked once by Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry of the 2001 class. In the finals of last season, I was fucked once by Liu Mang and Kwame Brown in front of me. I completely wrote about the 2001 generation.

In a small notebook that is about to be fucked to death.

Of course, it's mainly against the center. He can't guard him from the outside, and he doesn't have the chance to play small guards in singles.

The adjective "small-minded" is vividly reflected in O'Neal.

Kwame Brown never gave in when facing O'Neal. Even when O'Neal was the best player in the league, he never gave in. At most, he was beaten to the point where he wanted to be called a bastard.

And as a defensive center, Kwame Brown was not only not timid when meeting O'Neal, but he was very excited!

When playing basketball, of course you are most motivated when you play against the strongest person. Although O'Neal is much older now and will be 34 years old in March next year, he is still the number one center in the league. Only Yao Ming can compete with him.

Opponent, Kwame Brown, who was influenced by Liu Mang's "I just want to be tough" temperament, was very excited.

O'Neal doesn't despise Kwame Brown as much as before. He sees Kwame Brown's progress. After all, the team closest to the Heat is the Hawks, which is closer than the Magic.

The two stared at each other, full of fighting spirit, ready to jump the ball.

The referee walked to the center circle with a standard-inflated basketball, signaled the two centers not to get so close and to step back, then blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.

Kwame Brown and O'Neal jumped up at the same time!

O'Neal's body is really monster. He is almost 34. He has lost weight in the past two years and is still 142 kilograms now. However, his jumping height is only slightly different from Kwame Brown's, and due to his height and hand size,

, the two jumped almost as high!

Fortunately, Kwame Brown bounced the ball faster and moved the ball backwards, winning five consecutive jump balls at the beginning of the season!

Liu Mang received the ball, quickly passed it to McGrady, and ran towards the frontcourt.

Jason Williams and Wade blocked Liu Mang at the midline, forcing Liu Mang to slow down and denying Liu Mang a chance to attack the basket on a fast break.

However, this also gave McGrady a chance to pass the ball to Prince. Prince took the lead to reach a 45-degree angle on the left. After receiving the ball, McGrady took two steps and quickly passed the ball to Prince. Wade moved towards Prince.

Before he could catch up, Prince caught the ball and shot a three-pointer...

Missed, it's really a talent limit. Prince's defensive talent is good, but his offensive talent is just that, and he trains very hard, but his three-point ability has always been evaluated in his early 80s. He can be a goalkeeper with first-class three-point ability.

The three-pointer opens up the space, but you can't expect him to score many points.

Josh Smith, who followed up, took the ball out, and Liu Mang got past Jason Williams, who was defending, and grabbed the ball.

With a lineup consisting of one large player and four small players, the Eagles have a slight advantage in terms of mobility.

The Heat quickly settled into defensive positions, but Wade and Jason Williams blocked Liu Mang's opening fast break, causing their defender's selection to go awry. Liu Mang faced the Heat's outside line.

Jason Williams is the weakest defensive player among the three.

McGrady directed his teammates to pull away, and he took the lead in leading James Posey, the Heat's best perimeter defender, to the right corner. Prince pulled to the left corner. Although he didn't make a shot just now, Wade didn't dare to let go.

No matter how inaccurate Prince is, he still has a three-point shooting percentage of over 30% this season, averaging 1.25 three-pointers per game.

The Hawks' three-point shooting this season is scary. They averaged 10.5 three-pointers per game in the first four games, which is temporarily better than the historical record of 9.6 three-pointers per game set by the SuperSonics last season.

Liu Mang made a gesture, and Josh Smith moved to the middle distance on the right, preparing to hit the basket. Kwame Brown was on the edge of the three-second zone on the right.

Yes, Liu Mang wanted to break through from the left, and he made a gesture without any concealment.

After experiencing the transformation of coach Hubie Brown and the magic operator, Jason Williams worked very hard on the defensive end. In the fanatical atmosphere of the scene, the defense was very aggressive, and Liu Mang kept trying to get the ball.

.

Liu Mang held Jason Williams with his right hand and protected the ball. After waiting for his teammates to get into position, he kicked his left foot towards the ground and hit Jason Williams' chest, knocking Jason Williams away.

Si Ceng took half a step back, got space to break through, and rushed towards the left!

Jason Williams really had no choice. He was shorter than Liu Mang, so he could only defend and deny Liu Mang any space to shoot. However, his weight and strength were far inferior to his opponent's, so he was suddenly squeezed away.

When Liu Mang broke into the middle distance, Wade came up with a double attack. Liu Mang grabbed the ball and threw it toward the left. Wade immediately rushed back towards Prince.

However, when I grabbed the ball, I stepped forward with my feet and held the thrown ball tightly in my hands.

Feints from players with big hands!

Liu Mang stepped from the free throw line to the edge of the three-second zone. O'Neal and Kwame Brown were fighting hand-to-hand to grab the rebound. Both he and Wade were deceived by Liu Mang's fake move. When Liu Mang reached the edge of the three-second zone

, switching the ball from his right hand to his left hand, taking the second step with his left foot, using the same hand and foot of his left hand to lay up and throw the ball to the basket. When O'Neal turned around and rushed forward, the ball had already fallen into the basket!

At this time, when ESPN, which broadcast the game live, replayed the highlight moments, it did not replay the slow motion. Instead, it put Liu Mang's breakthrough actions on the right and his breakthrough actions on the left together, just like looking in a mirror!
