Chapter 1005 1004. The Strongest First Step VS The Strongest First Step

"Dwyane Wade, ability evaluation 97 (peak), offense 96, defense 88, 51 three-pointers, 87 mid-range shots, 99 layups, 77 rebounds, 81 passing, 92 speed, 90 strength..."

Liu Mang looked at Wade's ability evaluation. This past summer, Liu Mang didn't know what Wade had gone through. He was only 24 years old in three months, and he was already so strong!

If the three-pointers weren't so bad, it could be seen in the first six games of the preseason, with a total of 1 of 11 shots, less than 10% of the three-point shooting rate, and the offensive evaluation would be higher!

Moreover, the CIC has also been practiced. From the analysis of Liu Mang's ability evaluation, he is even better than Wade in the 05-06 season in his original time and space!

However, this also comes with greater hidden dangers. Liu Mang estimates that Wade's hard training in the summer is even more brutal than this summer in the original time and space.

The most critical thing is Wade's weight of 103 kilograms! Liu Mang remembers that Bosh, a power forward, only weighed 97 kilograms last season! McGrady is only 94 kilograms, and Wade is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 103 kilograms! It's almost catching up with James' weight.

But, so exciting! Fight against peak Wade!

"Shaquille O'Neal, ability evaluation 95, offense 96, defense 84, 40 three-pointers, 65 field goals, 100 layups, 78 speed, 99 strength..."

O'Neal has indeed passed his peak, and it is estimated that this is his final year as a superstar.

Antoine Walker 83, good in singles, three-pointers and rebounds.

Jason Williams is 82, with great three-pointers, passing, and speed.

These two signings that the Heat spent a lot of money on have maintained their excellent condition. Jason Williams has better teammates and his performance is no different from that of the Kings. Moreover, he is still a stable version, but with less For ornamental purposes.

James Posey's ability evaluation is 76, his offensive evaluation is only 68, and his mid-range shooting and mid-range shooting are below the passing line for a small forward, but his defensive evaluation is as high as 85, and his three-point evaluation is as high as 88.

Also on the Heat's bench are Payton's ability rating of 78, Haslem's ability rating of 77, and Mark Jackson, a 30-year-old tough guy and muscleman signed by Pat Riley who failed to convince Mourning to return to the Heat in the summer. The center serves as a substitute.

The people on the bench are all three-point shooters like Jason Kapono, Derek Anderson, who had his peak season with the Spurs in his contract year and cheated out of a big contract, and Nick, who is stupid and has a lot of money. The average annual salary of 8 million provided by Sri Lanka supports the swingman Shanton Anderson who has two contracts...

Liu Mang felt that Pat Riley was going to fight when O'Neal was at the bottom of his peak. This is it!

The Hawks' total salary this season is more than 73 million, which is already a lot. This season's salary cap is 51.92 million, and the luxury tax threshold is 64.94 million. Even if the Heat have Wade's rookie contract this season, Haslem is behind. In the draft, the mid-level salary has already begun, and the Heat's salary has reached 77 million US dollars.

Originally, the original Time and Space Heat couldn't spend that much money on signings, but who made this time and space last season when they were eliminated in the first round, so they spent more money on signings, and all terms were used...

After observing the Heat's lineup, Liu Mang felt the pressure but also felt excited.

It wouldn't be fun if Big Cheek and his team weren't better.

Coach Kruger called two timeouts, giving Liu Mang the feel of throwing and looking for the ball and time to observe the opponent's strength. Finally, since the official timeout does not count as a team timeout, the official timeout plus up to two consecutive timeouts After several long pauses, the referee quickly blew the whistle to continue the game.

How long has the competition been suspended? Players who have played for so long just now need to feel better.

This is one of the reasons why Liu Mang asked Coach Kruger to call a timeout as long as he could.

If the hand feeling is affected, of course everyone must work together to feel the hand feeling affected!

…

After the timeout, the atmosphere on the court was obviously different.

Pat Riley didn't back anyone up anymore. After Liu Mang's return, Pat Riley went directly to the bench to lay out tactics with a tactical board. Stan Van Gundy became an assistant coach. It was as if everything was back to what it was three years ago. Pat Riley -Riley is the head coach.

The Heat used to overpower the Hawks, mainly because one of the most critical parts of the Hawks' team system was missing. Now it's a completely different Hawks team.

For the Eagles, coach Kruger sent out a lineup that was most suitable for Liu Mang's offense.

Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Korver, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace came on the court.

On the Heat's side, Pat Riley sent the strongest lineup to prepare for Liu Mang's possible outbreak after his return, including Jason Williams, Wade, James Posey, Antoine Walker, and O'Neal. .

The Eagles had the ball, Liu Mang received the serve and advanced towards the frontcourt.

After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he saw a brand new Heat team.

On the one hand, the lineup has become stronger. Pat Riley has almost eclipsed Stan Van Gundy. His tactics are all Pat Riley’s tactical system that he has trained since training camp, and the one-star Stan Van Gundy likes. There is a big difference between Four Shots. Players have more confidence in the creator of this showtime dynasty than Stan Van Gundy.

In addition to being the founder of the Showtime era, Pat Riley is also the founder of the iron-blooded era of the 1990s. His defense is stronger than Stan Van Gundy. The Heat's defense and switching defense are very good. Even Antoine Walker, who has no defense, has a chance to win the championship when he joins the Heat. With the pressure from Pat Riley, the switching defense is also very good.

The defense of the Heat's lineup is similar to that of the Spurs in the finals last season, and they are younger and more energetic. There are also two top-notch defensive masters, Wade and Posey.

Liu Mang reached the top arc, and Jason Williams came up to defend him. He chose to step back and use his speed to prevent Liu Mang from breaking through. Jason Williams, who is 1.85 meters tall, will be 30 in about a month, and he maintains a top speed of 90.

In Pat Riley's view, Liu Mang came directly from home, so his touch would definitely not be good at the beginning, and Wade behind him was also ready to double-team and break through.

The TV commentators Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith also affirmed the defense arranged by Pat Riley.

Most people, even Kobe, would choose to break through and layup to find their touch when they come on the court temporarily.

But is Liu Mang an ordinary person? Jason Williams has retreated into the three-point line. With such a large space, Liu Mang took off and shot a three-pointer without hesitation at the top arc!

"Ding... Level 5 of the sharpshooter is triggered. The host's timing for this shot is perfect, making up for the physical impact of not warming up..."

Jason Williams cursed secretly that it was different from what the oily-headed coach said! He rushed over immediately, but it was too late.

Liu Mang rushed back and hit the three-pointer in his first shot!

The triggering of the sharpshooter made up for the impact of not warming up on this shot, and not only that, if the shot is made, it means that the body has begun to adapt to the rhythm of the game!

The TV commentator felt his face flushed. Two seconds ago, they were still affirming Pat Riley's defensive arrangement. Liu Mang immediately threw in a three-pointer. He didn't hesitate at all. He just shot it when he saw that it was not close!

56 to 68, the score difference narrowed to 12 points!

The fans at the scene were once again excited. Liu Mang is back, and everything is different!

Liu Mang made his teammates more active and excited by making a three-pointer on his first shot.

After Liu Mang made the shot, he immediately turned around and returned to defense. There was no celebration, as if it was a matter of course.

This guy... Wade picked up the ball and patted it twice, then threw it to O'Neal. O'Neal passed the ball to Wade, and Wade slowly pushed forward, waiting for O'Neal to run to the front court.

Liu Mang is back. Pat Riley predicts that Liu Mang's offense may have problems, but there will be no problem on defense. Pat Riley does not let Jason Williams take charge. When playing against other players on the Hawks, Jason Williams, who is shorter than Jason Terry, is 1.85 meters tall and is very effective in breaking through, but not against Liu Mang.

Liu Mang is back, and the Hawks' defense has changed. McGrady, who scored 22 points in two and a half quarters, is no longer responsible for offense, and he doesn't even need to be responsible for passing. He has become a 3D player and goes up to defend Wade alone.

Wade plays McGrady, and watching McGrady's defense is really infuriating!

McGrady is about to retreat to the free throw line!

Speed, strength, height, high blocking awareness, strong interference ability... are McGrady's defensive advantages, and awareness is also good. McGrady, who has seen how Liu Mang defends Wade and Francis, and Wade's three-point performance in the first six preseason games, decisively retreats to defend.

Liu Mang follows Jason Williams here, but keeps an eye on Wade.

Wade was one step away from McGrady. Although he was angry, it was a good thing for him!

Being one step away gave Wade a perfect chance to accelerate!

Wade dribbled the ball, and when McGrady was constantly taking small steps to prepare for a breakthrough, he faced the challenge and launched an attack!

The strongest first step!

Wade accelerated directly to the right. McGrady reacted immediately and moved over, but he reacted... and only reacted...

McGrady's lateral movement was already very fast, but Wade was faster. He was in a position parallel to the backboard with McGrady in an instant! Moreover, with the strong impact force, he squeezed McGrady away!

McGrady's defense was very targeted. When he was squeezed away, he retreated immediately, instead of pressing forward to grab the ball. He took a step back and prepared to block the connection between Wade and O'Neal when Rasheed Wallace came out to help.

Wade had expected this a long time ago. He stopped abruptly one step inside the free throw line and jumped up to shoot!

Wade was very proud when he jumped up and stopped suddenly. He wanted to let the opponent, especially Liu Mang, see his current mid-range shot...

"Pah..."

Wade's ball was just thrown out, and was directly slapped away by a big hand from the right back!

O'Neal turned around and grabbed the rebound with eight years of experience. The ball just brushed over his head and flew out of bounds!

Liu Mang had been paying attention to Wade's mid-range shot and rushed up. He would rather Wade pass the ball to Jason Williams than give Wade a chance to jump.

And Liu Mang double-teamed and defended, and Josh Smith, who was defending Antoine Walker's three-pointer in the bottom corner, had a chance to defend.

But Wade saw that he forced McGrady to retreat to defend O'Neal to receive the ball, and was so proud that he was chased and blocked by Liu Mang from the right back!

In the early time of this game, because the Hawks played poorly and the Heat were always leading, Wade did not show his mid-range shot much. Occasionally, he shot one, and the Hawks did not notice it.

But Liu Mang didn't need to pay attention. He knew Wade's mid-range shot had become stronger before the timeout ended.

Wade watched Liu Mang walk by him, walked to the basket and celebrated with McGrady with a high five. He didn't expect such a thing at all!

At this time, the two referees had different opinions on the whistle. The baseline referee whistled for the backcourt ball, the Hawks had the ball, and the main referee who observed Wade's singles whistled for the block out of bounds, the Heat had the frontcourt ball.

Although O'Neal's head was rubbed by the ball, he insisted that he didn't touch the ball and explained to the referee.

In the end, the baseline referee's penalty was the main one. He moved closer and the Hawks had the backcourt ball!

A three-pointer, a block, and the ball was taken!

The scene was completely blown up!

There is a chance to narrow the gap to within 10 points!

There are more than four minutes left in the third quarter. If it is narrowed to within 10 points, there is still a chance to turn the game around in the fourth quarter!

O'Neal explained for a long time to no avail. He glared at Liu Mang depressedly and ran to the backcourt.

The referee threw the ball to McGrady. Liu Mang received McGrady's serve and advanced to the frontcourt.

The Heat's defenders have changed. Since Liu Mang can make a three-pointer when he comes up, they can only use Wade, their strongest defender on the outside, to defend Liu Mang.

After Liu Mang arrived at the frontcourt, Wade immediately stuck to him and tried to use his strong body to pressure Liu Mang for a steal.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball with his left hand and held Wade with his right arm. Although the weight difference was too large, Liu Mang would be crushed when defending Wade, but when attacking, he could still hold Wade and not give Wade a chance to pressure and steal.

Liu Mang could actually withstand his pressure defense, and Wade was surprised and said no! He knew how terrible his strength was now. In the previous preseason games, his strength was invincible in the back line. Even some centers were directly jumped on the spot and pressed and dunked by him. There were a total of 9 pressure and direct steals in the first six games! Liu Mang actually withstood it!

Liu Mang observed the running positions of his teammates and the opponent's defense.

The partnership between Rasheed Wallace and Josh Smith has changed this year. Rasheed Wallace is more out on the offensive end, pulling out to the bottom corner and pulling Antoine Walker out. Josh Smith is ready to attack the basket at any time in the mid-range. O'Neal can only pull out a little. If he is really rushed by the opponent, he can only foul.

Korver and McGrady also spread their defense very wide.

Liu Mang observed the situation on the court and made a decision. He took a step back, away from the three-point line, accelerated, and rushed to the left!

"Ding... The strongest first step is triggered..."

Wade relies on his body, and Liu Mang relies on skills! The same strongest first step!

When Wade watched the Hawks game in the playoffs last season, he knew that Liu Mang had this trick. He quickly broke out and retreated to the right rear, and his leg muscles were in a tense state. If Liu Mang changed direction, Wade would use the same explosive speed to move sideways.

However, Liu Mang rushed straight forward, reached the three-point line, forced an emergency stop, grabbed the ball, and took the ball to the left waist position.

Wade was so frightened by this action that he rushed forward. This was a sniper shot!

When Wade rushed forward, he was secretly glad that he was prepared to move sideways and rushed forward quickly. Liu Mang's sniper shot was fast, so he could keep up!

But...

Liu Mang's sniper shot was a fake move! Wade's strong body rushed forward, and Liu Mang fearlessly took the initiative to bump into him...

"Ding... Level 5 of the Master of Touching Porcelain was triggered..."

When Liu Mang and Wade collided with each other, in fact, even without triggering the Master of Touching Porcelain, the ball would definitely be blown, and Liu Mang was knocked down by Wade.

The two looked at each other, one of them revealed pride in his eyes, and the other was full of regret.

Wade felt like he was going to explode. First he was blocked, and then he was fouled for a three-point foul...

Wade got up and stretched out his hand to Liu Mang when he turned around. Liu Mang held Wade's hand. When Wade walked ahead, he bent his knees and pulled Liu Mang up, then immediately let go and walked to the left side of the three-second zone, waiting for the free throw.

Teammates came up to high-five Liu Mang, and teammates on the sidelines also got excited!

The referee watched the replay and found that Liu Mang's feet were outside the three-point line when he jumped. The penalty was confirmed and three free throws were made!

"MVP... MVP..."

The MVP calls for the 05-06 season came earlier than ever before...

Liu Mang had only been on the court for two minutes, and the MVP calls had already come out!

Even though Liu Mang had done so many big things before, this time he was still amazing!
