1020. Crucial free throw(1/2)
The two teams competed for a while in the second half of the third quarter, but neither team took advantage. Liu Mang's 14 points in a single quarter finally sealed the score.
The real decisive moment came in the fourth quarter.
For the Eagles, Coach Kruger continued to send Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Tracy McGrady together. They played three quarters of the game. The one who had the best defense against Wade was Tracy McGrady. Iguodala was better against him, but
Lack of experience.
The inside combination of Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown comes on, and guarding the inside is the key.
On the Heat's side, Pat Riley sent Payton because of Payton's good performance today, and Jason Williams sent Payton when he encountered Liu Mang's poor performance. Wade, like Liu Mang, played the first three quarters and was still the same.
Keep playing.
In the frontcourt, the lineup of Posey, Haslem, and O'Neal has come up.
The Eagles attacked first, Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry, and together they advanced toward the frontcourt.
The Heat have sent out three of their best defensive perimeters, which are comparable to the Hawks' perimeter trio, and their defense is very strong.
Jason Terry passed halftime and passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang received the ball and Wade defended it.
The beginning of the fourth quarter must set a tone, a tone of victory!
So it doesn’t matter who is the best defensive player, Wade or Posey, or Payton, who is the worst defensive player. Give the ball to the best player.
Facing Wade's defense, Liu Mang did not dribble in a hurry. He held the ball in one hand and faced Wade sideways, extending the ball behind him to avoid being intercepted by Wade.
Wade looked at Liu Mang's action and saw that his long hands were amazing!
But Wade really had no choice but to step on the three-point line and not dare to step back.
Liu Mang tapped his right foot forward, but Wade was not fooled and firmly held his position.
So, Liu Mang followed the protruding foot and accelerated his breakthrough!
It really came out of nowhere! It wasn't a fake move to get a three-pointer! Wade quickly retreated and explosively bounced diagonally to the left, blocking Liu Mang's path.
but……
Liu Mang stepped into the three-point line with his right foot, raised his left foot, and then stepped back.
The final choice is still three points!
Payton was so anxious that he let go of Jason Terry and rushed over. Wade was very good at guarding breakthroughs and was strong in pressing defense, but his close defense against a player like Liu Mang who could break out and shoot was average.
Suddenly, I felt that Wade's physical fitness was in vain.
The best defensive players like Payton and Jordan feel that their defense is in vain...
However, it was too late for Payton to rush over. Liu Mang took his left foot back outside the three-point line, quickly took his right foot back, grabbed the ball and sniped away!
Perfect shot timing, Liu Mang's three-pointer hit!
Liu Mang made a three-pointer. Jason Terry and McGrady excitedly rushed up to high-five Liu Mang, and then retreated together.
79 to 78, as soon as the fourth quarter started, the Eagles hit a three-pointer to take the lead!
Wade stomped his foot in annoyance, taking it for granted. This is the league's top three-point shooter who averaged 3.5 three-pointers in the first four games after the start of the new season! He just took it for granted, thinking that Liu Mang would
When breaking through, I thought that if Liu Mang moved like that, he must be directly accelerating to break through like him, thinking that Liu Mang was like him.
The main reason is that Liu Mang can use the same first step as Wade, allowing Wade to substitute his playing style when he has a half-step position onto Liu Mang.
As for Liu Mang not being able to accelerate like him without a certain distance, Wade obviously couldn't understand this.
When the Heat attacked, Wade pushed beyond the three-point line. Seeing McGrady take such a big step back to defend, his head got a little cramped, so he pulled up and took a three-point shot!
Sometimes having a convulsion in the head is not a bad thing. A blind man can still see ghosts. Wade couldn't control the convulsion this time. He played the right game. His three-point shot from the top of the arc hit the backboard and bounced into the basket!
Liu Mang's goal just now set the tone for the Eagles to reverse the situation at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Wade also set the tone for their side to maintain their advantage!
Moreover, Wade used the trick he is least good at, the three-pointer!
Something like dribbling the ball can make a player feel like his fortune is turning!
That's the case with Wade. He has already made a lot of magic shots today. He regretted this three-pointer when he shot it, but the ball went in! This feeling made Wade feel that God was helping him!
Wade, who had just been knocked away by Liu Mang and missed a three-pointer, is now full of confidence!
When the Hawks attacked, Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang continued to face Wade a little bit on the right side of the top arc, holding the ball with one hand, and broke through.
Wade was taught a lesson by Payton, and now he mainly defends against Liu Mang's three-pointers. Even if Liu Mang steps out, Wade will still block Liu Mang's three-pointers.
Liu Mang took advantage of the situation and broke through inside. Wade missed the best defensive position and was passed by Liu Mang.
After reaching the free throw line, O'Neal defended and waved his arms to block Liu Mang's pass to Kwame Brown.
O'Neal was so big that Liu Mang felt as if half of the three-second zone was occupied. He could pass the ball... but O'Neal was outside the reasonable collision area. Liu Mang faced O'Neal and got up to hide.
He opened O'Neal's arm and threw the ball toward the basket.
Resolutely not entering, just don’t touch it!
However, this is much safer than passing the ball!
Because there is Kwame Brown under the basket!
Kwame Brown grabbed the ball and dunked with both hands!
81 square meters!
The scores between the two teams continue to be tight!
When the Heat attacked, Wade made a magical three-pointer. Now he has gained confidence, his mind has become calmer, and he has entered a special state. In this state, he feels that he is omnipotent and conscious.
He avoided his own shortcomings, broke through more decisively, and passed the ball more decisively.
O'Neal, Haslem, Posey, and Payton actively cooperated with the breakthrough Wade. Although the Heat did not field the best offensive lineup, after the start of the fourth quarter, they miraculously continued the offensive firepower of the third quarter.
!
Wade's mid-range shot, Payton's short-range throw, O'Neal's basket, and Haslem and Posey's mid-range shot, all magically continued!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the Eagles side, I thought Liu Mang's three-pointer was scored and the reversal was about to begin. Who knew the Heat would play so strongly!
The Eagles began their exhausting pursuit of points again.
In the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Heat opened the point difference to 5 points. Liu Mang reached the frontcourt and received the ball one meter away from the three-point line. He saw Wade stepping on the three-point line to defend.
, Liu Mang thought too much and shot a three-pointer from far away...
Hit!
The second three-pointer made in the fourth quarter was also the sixth three-pointer in the game!
The key is that this was Liu Mang's second three-point shot in the fourth quarter. He made two of two three-pointers in the fourth quarter!
Liu Mang's three-point shooting percentage in the game has reached 50%! 6 of 12!
The score difference returned to two points again, and the two teams continued to be anxious. They worked very hard on the defensive end and tried their best to score on the offensive end.
Before the official timeout, Wade hit another long two-pointer and made a fadeaway jumper against McGrady's defense, and the point difference was widened to 4 points.
But then, McGrady and Liu Mang picked and rolled, and after receiving Liu Mang's pass, Wade responded with a long two-point mid-range shot against Wade who was changing defense.
92 to 94, the score difference continues to return to two points!
The Heat called a timeout!
…
The score that continues to bite has not changed much after the official timeout. Both teams are in good shape. Every time the Heat hit a small climax, when they are about to widen the point difference, Liu Mang or Tracy McGrady, or
Jason Terry will respond and hold on to the score.
The fans watched it lively, the game was so exciting, both teams played a very good offensive and defensive level in the fourth quarter, and the goals all depended on the superstars!
The anxious situation lasted until the last minute, and the Heat still led by 3 points.
The Eagles called a timeout. After returning, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Jason Terry asked Liu Mang for the ball, and Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry.
After one operation, Jason Terry took a three-pointer against Payton's defense...
Jason Terry missed a three-pointer at a critical moment!
With 39 seconds left on the clock, the Heat called a timeout!
Pat Riley wants to deploy a safe tactic to open the score to more than 3 points and lock in the victory of the game. It must be at least more than three points, otherwise the opponent will have a chance to tie!
Jason Terry missed a key three-point shot and was so angry that he kept hitting his head with his fist.
Liu Mang quickly went up and put his arm around Jason Terry's shoulders to stop this self-harming behavior.
Self-mutilation is not terrible. It is terrible if self-mutilation makes oneself brain-dead. Liu Mang originally thought that Jason Terry was easy to fall for.
This ball was replaced by Liu Mang, who would also have chosen to play a three-pointer in isolation, but he didn't make a shot. Jason Terry is good at that kind of play, and there is no problem in handling it.
Mike Woodson is drawing with a tactical board. Defense at critical moments is very important.
Jason Terry was replaced. His role on the defensive end was indeed too small. Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Prince were replaced. Inside, Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown continued to play and defend the basket.
