12 to 8, the Eagles are about to gain momentum. The Eagles players all want to work hard to prevent the Heat's next attack. As long as they can prevent it in the next round, when it is their turn to attack, the point difference will be

The chance is extended to more than 5 points.

When the Heat attacked, Wade received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.

Jason Williams and Posey opened up the space and created singles opportunities for Wade.

The Hawks' defense inside and outside is too good. In addition to relying on Wade and O'Neal to attract double attacks, the Heat's tactics are difficult to implement. Antoine Walker is not effective in singles, and Rasheed Wallace is in the paint.

If you don't have a good position, you can't use the three-pointers after gambling on your luck with the ball from the outside, and it's difficult to threaten. The situation is similar for the Eagles, and it's difficult to achieve tactical coordination, but Liu Mang can do it at all costs.

As long as his teammates catch the ball when he attracts early double-teams and shoot the ball from mid-to-long distance, it will be fine.

The Heat pointed at Wade and O'Neal. O'Neal had played alone twice just now, and now it's time to slow down.

Facing McGrady's aggressive defense, Wade did not hesitate and continued to break through!

Wade is too difficult to guard, he has strong breakthroughs, his mid-range shooting is not top-notch but he is above average, his finishing ability at the basket is one of the best among outside players, and he has a high IQ, and he can accurately grasp the timing of the shot and the breakthrough.

However, McGrady guarded Artest in the first round, and had to guard James for a period of time in each game in the second round. Now that he has met Wade, he has already gained experience. Wade directly broke through with the ball this time, and McGrady pressed up faster. He didn't want to

Give Wade a chance to start, rather than being squeezed in by Wade's strong body, you have to stay close to Wade. At least you can use your height to interfere, and you can try to force Wade to go off the line and help Kwame Brown defend.

Opportunity.

Wade was not to be outdone and forced McGrady to rush in from the bottom line. He was originally planning to pass the ball to O'Neal after attracting Kwame Brown to attack.

However, Wade just broke into the free throw line, and when McGrady got within the free throw line and used his arm to force Wade to step off the line, the referee's whistle sounded!

Wade heard the whistle and threw the ball toward the basket without touching the basket.

This was only the Eagles' third foul, and it was not a foul penalty.

But just because Wade's whistle sounded, he grabbed the ball and threw it out. The referee signaled that Wade got two free throws!

McGrady didn't expect that he would foul again!

After the referee made a foul gesture, he pointed at him and pushed someone. McGrady was so angry that he jumped up!

This ball was called a foul in the regular season. McGrady can accept it, but this is the playoffs!

In the first round, he and Artest almost had a fight, and the referee didn't even call a foul.

If it were just that the referee tightened the whistle to the level of the regular season, McGrady thought that would be fine, but the scale of the referee's whistle was different!

And it's not that the two teams have different scales. Relatively speaking, overall, the Eagles are more favored. Kwame Brown defends O'Neal, so almost every action is a foul.

Prince used rough defensive moves against Jason Williams, but the referee didn't call it a blow. Posey and Wade used the same defensive pressure to defend McGrady and Liu Mang, but the referee didn't call it a call either.

But when McGrady defended Wade, he defended him four times. He was called for a foul the first time, failed to defend the second time, and failed the third time. In addition, Wade himself failed to catch the ball and throw.

But when he defended Wade for the fourth time, McGrady was called for a foul again!

Two fouls in just over five minutes!

The first time McGrady didn't say anything, but this second time, it was a double offense!

Because the game was fierce and the confrontation was fierce, McGrady was very excited and was furious when the referee called two fouls in a row for more than five minutes. He directly said to the Mediterranean referee: "Are you kidding me? This is not the WNBA, you

Let’s go brag about their game, ma’am!”

In this case, the referee couldn't stand it and immediately gave a technical foul.

The fans at the scene were booing the referee originally, but now they are booing even more!

Coach Kruger immediately called a timeout!

Rasheed Wallace came over and grabbed McGrady, who was still chattering. At this time, Rasheed Wallace was the calmest. He held Liu Mang, who also wanted to argue, with one hand and held McGrady with the other.

bench.

…

The situation suddenly changes!

The situation was originally going well, but the referee made an inexplicable call, causing McGrady to angrily yell at the referee and give the Heat three free throws!

However, as a whole, the Eagles can't find fault with this kind of whistle!

O'Neal was violated by various fouls by Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace, and the referee did not call a foul. O'Neal is used to it. He has been like this for more than ten years, but Pat Riley almost never called a foul from the beginning of the game.

I started complaining on the sidelines, but the referee ignored me.

Generally speaking, the Hawks took advantage of the whistle. The Hawks committed three fouls in the first half of the quarter. The Heat had four fouls and free throws. Wade and Jason Williams each committed one foul. Antoine-

Walker has already fouled twice while grabbing rebounds. The Hawks' three fouls include Kwame Brown's foul when he defended Wade on an air cut to catch the ball and hit the basket. The other two were McGrady's fouls.

But McGrady's two fouls were so critical! McGrady couldn't play in the rest of the first quarter!

It was almost time for Rasheed Wallace to be replaced. Coach Kruger simply replaced him and asked him to provide psychological counseling to McGrady and learn how to get used to being called a technical foul every day.

"John, what did you have for dinner today?"

"Oh, the steak I had, the steak here tastes great. I hope you can have it for dinner tomorrow."

"Of course there will be. You have worked hard in officiating the game. We will definitely try our best to provide you with food and accommodation."

"You have worked hard coaching."

After the referee finished speaking, he went to the technical table to confirm the technical foul.

Coach Kruger had a calm chat with the referee, mainly talking about common matters. There was nothing wrong with the call. McGrady did commit a foul. If he really wanted to call a foul, he had nothing to say as a head coach. The technical offenders behind him all went to the point of insulting gender.

It would be nice if McGrady was not criticized by American feminists after the game. He just wanted to talk to the referees and found that the referees didn't have much dislike for them. It was just that McGrady's words at that time meant that he had to call a technical foul to maintain his authority, so he

Returned to the bench and rearranged personnel rotation.

Liu Mang, after calming down, stayed with Coach Kruger and listened to Coach Kruger's chat with the referee on the sidelines, as usual.

Liu Mang didn't notice that his home court advantage had changed, but... McGrady had changed... or maybe the scale of punishment for those who defended Wade had changed!

Only Wade on the Heat caused a foul against the Hawks, and all three fouls were caused by Wade alone.

After Liu Mang calmed down, he easily figured out the matter.

The referee wants Wade to perform better!

In other words, the league wants Wade to get better opportunities to perform!

Prince once again switched defense to Wade. Wade had a mid-range shot that was directly knocked down by Prince. It was the one-on-one mid-range single with Wade.

Because Prince is a technical defensive player who uses his height, wingspan, defensive awareness, and defensive skills instead of impact, there was physical contact and no foul was committed by the referee.

Prince's defense was very clean, and it looked like the same physical contact on the defensive end as in the regular season.

But McGrady's defense was more rough, a standard playoff-level rough confrontation. After all, he was a player who started out as a defender in the 1990s, and then he was called for two fouls by the referee.

This is obvious. The other nine players on the field and Wade, the players in the two "camps", face different defensive standards!

The other nine players were all punished at the playoff level. Only Wade was whistled at the regular season standards when others were guarding Wade!

Coach Kruger called a 100-second timeout. After discussing with Stockton and Mike Woodson, he began to arrange personnel rotation: "Tracy and Rasheed are off the court and have a rest. Andre, you go up and defend."

Wade..."

Liu Mang interrupted at this time and said: "Coach, let me guard Wade, Andre guard Williams, Tyshawn can also take a rest, Tyshawn and I take turns guarding Wade."

Liu Mang was still angry! But he was more worried. McGrady actually got a star whistle on Wade. Iguodala probably wouldn't be much better. Only Prince could defend Wade well in the mid-range.

Interference is good, but he can't prevent Wade's breakthrough speed, but he is already the most effective defender against Wade at the regular season level. Wade, who played very well in the playoffs this year, McGrady uses regular season level defense.

No defense can guard Wade.

"Ace, you go and guard..." Coach Kruger was about to say what to do if you also get into a foul crisis, but he immediately realized what Liu Mang meant and asked: "Let's take a bet?"

"Yes, let's bet!" Liu Mang felt that 'the one who knows me is Mauro Lang Kruger'. Probably no coach would understand him so well.

You have to win the first game!

The brave will be starved to death and the timid will be starved to death. Coach Kruger has just come here in the past few years. With Liu Mang’s thoughts, Coach Kruger feels like he is a player who breaks the league and seems intent on promoting the top five players of the 2003 generation in the playoffs.

Wade's approach.

This method is very risky, but if it succeeds, it will directly defeat the Heat's sudden advantage!

Coach Kruger was going to do just that and rearrange the field: "Ace, Jason, you go up for singles and throw the ball in. Jason, try to prevent the opponent's catcher and shooter from making easy shots. Andre, guard Williams.

Josh, Kwame, come on!"
