Relying on talent to play, although talent can make up for a lot of things, when it came time to rely on his own efforts to deal with a championship-level team in the playoffs, McGrady felt a little powerless.

It’s not that McGrady is not outstanding enough. He has easily developed all aspects of his skills to close to the top level. He has a mid-range shooting rating of 89 and a three-point rating of 88. If you take any one of them individually, they are excellent skills that ordinary players can use to make a living.

ability.

But in addition to the invincible breakthroughs based on physical fitness, which are at the top level, there are also top-notch organizational skills that can be improved by focusing on training last season and without investing too much physical training. As long as you have enough talent and good basic skills, other abilities are at the top level.

, from shooting to defense, even rebounding, low-post singles and high post-up are all top-notch, and they are almost reaching the top level, but they are not top-notch.

McGrady gives people a very contradictory feeling. His talent is so strong that he can practice a skill to a top level with just a few weeks of practice, and he can practice it casually, unlike Kobe, Wade, and Liu Mang who practice to death.

But it's not that McGrady doesn't want to practice, it's just that he can't practice like them.

As Liu Mang systematically described, Tracy McGrady is like a defective product of God's incarnation left in the world. God is jealous of his talent, so he has many unlucky places.

If it were the regular season, McGrady could definitely produce the strongest statistics and efficiency in the league. He did it in the 2002-03 season, with an efficiency value of over 30, and even without entering the playoffs, he got 10 first-place votes, ranking third.

Fourth in the MVP rankings, 80% of regular season MVPs do not have such a high efficiency value.

But when it comes to playing against such a strong championship-level team, McGrady is more suitable to be a supporting role rather than the main offensive point, just like last year's finals against the Spurs.

Fortunately, McGrady now has Liu Mang by his side!

At this time, McGrady has a superstar he can rely on, and he can make more appropriate choices when it is clear that he can do everything but is just a little bit behind...

Be a Pippin type character!

McGrady received Liu Mang's serve and advanced toward the frontcourt. In the fourth quarter, the Eagles took the lead.

McGrady arrived in the frontcourt and saw Liu Mang running. He began to mobilize his teammates to cooperate with Liu Mang's movement and help Liu Mang create opportunities. At the same time, he also used Liu Mang to contain the defense and create opportunities for others or McGrady himself.

Create opportunities.

The Heat sent out a lineup of Payton, Wade, Posey, Haslem, and O'Neal in the fourth quarter, and they were ready to defend in the fourth quarter!

The Heat were very afraid of Liu Mang's shooting and did not dare to give Liu Mang any open space.

The other players in the Eagles shot mediocrely today. The entire Eagles team shot only 42% from the field. However, Liu Mang scored 31 points on 12 of 20 shots in the three quarters, with a shooting percentage of 60%! And Wade

The performance is no less impressive!

What limits Liu Mang's scoring is not his touch, but his lack of opportunities!

Either he will be guarded under the basket and be flanked, or he will be double-teamed in advance.

Previously, the Heat defended Liu Mang's off-ball movement very well. Liu Mang had to attack with the ball, but his attack with the ball attracted his teammates who were flanking him and he couldn't make a shot. This was very hurtful.

But this time, the Heat discovered that Liu Mang's running position had changed a lot from before!

From Liu Mang's personal perspective, the biggest role of the star card is his temporary explosive ability, and to experience the abilities and playing styles of those stars. But for opponents, the most terrifying thing is not that Liu Mang's ability suddenly becomes stronger and he explodes from time to time.

It’s the change in Liu Mang’s playing style!

It’s just like playing with a different person!

In the past, when Liu Mang moved, his teammates took the initiative to block for him with a tacit understanding. Of course, he also had excellent ability to proactively find pick-and-rolls.

But this time, Liu Mang not only used his teammates' pick-and-roll, but also used his opponent as a cover!

The Heat are already used to Liu Mang's previous moves. This is something they have studied for a long time, starting from last offseason. The Heat's only goal since having O'Neal is to win the championship. The Eagles gave them the biggest win.

Among the Hawks players, Liu Mang is the player they fear the most. They have studied it for a long time, so in the first three quarters, the Heat coaching staff and the Eagles coaching staff can prevent Liu Mang from missing the ball, no matter how they battle with wits.

Liu Mang was able to successfully defend with the ball.

But this time, there was a problem with Liu Mang's movement and the defensive cooperation of the Heat players!

Wade, who was chasing Liu Mang, collided with Haslem, who was switching to guard Liu Mang. Liu Mang took this opportunity to retreat to the bottom corner!

Although McGrady is directing his teammates to make air cuts, he has been paying attention to Liu Mang. The ability that McGrady can continue to strengthen regardless of physical limitations is his ability to organize offense!

When Liu Mang used Josh Smith as a stub, McGrady judged that Liu Mang was about to be open, and passed the ball to the bottom corner with tacit understanding. Liu Mang just reached the bottom corner.

The ball fell into his hands from above!

"Ding... The master of fast shooting is triggered at level 5. The host will ignore running interference when catching and shooting this time, and the shooting speed will be increased by 30%..."

Wade followed Liu Mang for a long time without encountering a pick-and-roll. Liu Mang followed him around the pick-and-roll and never lost his position. Unexpectedly, he collided with his teammate in the end!

Wade saw Liu Mang receiving McGrady's pass as soon as he got the open space, and after standing firm, he quickly rushed towards Liu Mang.

Wade tried his best, but when Liu Mang took off, he rushed to the starting point and took off at the same time as Liu Mang. Moreover, he took off in a sprint, jumping higher than Liu Mang!

When Wade took off, he felt like he had a chance to score the ball!

but!

After Wade pounced, Liu Mang's ball had already been thrown!

The difference was only 0.2 seconds! Liu Mang's one-on-one shot was 0.2 seconds faster than usual!

Wade's outstretched hand caught Liu Mang's hand when he threw the ball. He was delayed by 0.2 seconds, and it was a hit!

The referee whistle blows!

Wade's thug foul!

This ball is played clearly by the player, the sound is very crisp, and it can be played without any problem!

Not only that, Liu Mang hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

Liu Mang's movement was perfect. McGrady passed the ball to him. Liu Mang felt very comfortable when shooting, and his physical fitness when shooting was not affected by his movement. He had a very smooth shooting feeling. When he shot, he knew he would definitely score.

!

3 1!

Liu Mang ignored Wade, who was stomping his feet and sulking, and his cheeks seemed a little bigger. He walked to the top arc and gave McGrady a high-five.

In McGrady's opinion, he is just a little bit behind in everything, but in Liu Mang's opinion, McGrady is so great that he can do anything he is asked to do!

That is to say, McGrady himself compares each of his skills with the strongest person, while Liu Mang looks at McGrady's comprehensive ability, which is the second-best superstar in the league with a comprehensive ability evaluation of 98!
