Chapter 1022 1021. You Are Still Far Away!
After a carnival celebration, coach Kruger quickly called the players back to the bench. The preparation time before a long pause of 100 seconds of overtime could not be wasted.
Mike Woodson rearranged the defensive tactics and suggested replacing McGrady. McGrady obviously couldn't keep up with Wade's last attack. That defense was actually a mistake.
McGrady scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in this game. On the defensive end, he had two blocks and two steals. He also committed 4 fouls. He tried his best to defend Wade.
But there is basically no one who can guard Wade this season. Kobe and Artest can only impose some restrictions. In this game where Wade broke out, McGrady's defense cannot be said to be bad. Wade made a shot. At least six or seven fairy balls were shot. Most of the time, McGrady had Wade cornered, but Wade just made the shot. There was nothing he could do about it.
Those who are often defeated by the fairy ball are defensive masters.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry continued to be sent on, and Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown came on.
After the defensive tactics were arranged, the offensive tactics were handed over to Liu Mang.
It’s not that Coach Kruger didn’t expect how overtime would be played this time. The Eagles had very few overtime situations, but they were also prepared to play overtime, but the substitution was Mike Woodson. The method was different from the offensive lineup that Coach Kruger wanted, and he did not let Horry enter the active list today. Coach Kruger felt that it was a mistake. In the first game of the season, Coach Kruger planned to practice more young players, but he did not Thinking about this game makes me so anxious.
Moreover, Horry usually plays extremely poorly in the regular season except for critical moments. Barry is willing to sacrifice, he will play if he is asked, and he will work hard to contribute. He has received his basic salary, so there is nothing else he can't give up. .
Coach Kruger simply left it to Liu Mang to arrange the tactics.
Liu Mang's tactics... are always so unstable... Coach Kruger and Stockton took out their notebooks and wrote down the tactics. Liu Mang always had some weird tactics. Coach Kruger What Liu Mang is good at is summarizing the tactics that Liu Mang accidentally thought of and adding them appropriately to the team's tactical system.
The Eagles' changeable style of play is inseparable from Coach Kruger's ability in this area.
…
The preparation time is over and the two teams return to the field.
The Heat continue to field a lineup of Payton, Wade, Posey, Haslem, and O'Neal.
This is their best lineup today and the lineup with the longest playing time. Even O'Neal, who rested for 11 minutes, has played for 37 minutes. They still worked hard to defend and did not give up to Josh Smith. Or Kwame Brown's active defensive style of play where he puts up good numbers.
Posey's physical fitness is the worst among the Heat's starters. He also played 35 minutes. Payton played 32 minutes, and Wade played 48 minutes.
The only one with good physical fitness is Haslem.
But Haslem has nothing else but defense and mid-range shooting, and his rebounding is not very good.
Especially when they were chased by the Eagles, they were mentally tortured throughout the game. The regular time was okay. Even on the Eagles' last attack, they worked hard to defend Liu Mang's three-pointer, but they didn't expect to be beaten by Liu Mang. Jason Terry, who had just missed a key shot, was dragged into overtime. That was the seed of the feeling of not being able to win, which quietly opened a hole in the hearts of the Heat players and sprouted a little sprout.
Of course, they still worked hard after coming on the court, but after coming on the court, Jason Terry came up and scored another three-pointer!
Coach Kruger and Stockton looked at the tactics Liu Mang had just laid out in their notebooks on the sidelines. What the hell is this called a tactic?
Jump ball, when O'Neal was physically fit at the beginning, except for the bounce speed, the jump ball was not much worse than Kwame Brown, and even better than the previous two seasons. However, in overtime, the jump ball was almost padded. Kwame Brown knocked the ball away.
After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Jason Terry, and immediately went up to help Jason Terry pick and roll. At this time, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown collectively entered the basket. Terry bypassed the pick-and-roll and shot directly!
The more critical the moment, playing against the Heat, the more Jason Terry will do!
And more accurate!
110 to 107, the Eagles quickly established an advantage less than 9 seconds into overtime.
And the ball was played fast. Jason Terry was running when Liu Mang passed the ball. Liu Mang went up to block it. Jason Terry didn't even dribble the ball. When he caught the ball and stopped, he directly He pulled it up and shot, and even added an assist for Liu Mang!
Liu Mang has already scored 9 assists!
48 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists!
Liu Mang, who averaged only 26 points in the first four games, is almost 50+10 in this game!
When the Heat attacked, Wade held on to his physical strength, which was on the verge of collapse, and advanced to the frontcourt to prepare for a breakthrough and look for opportunities.
Iguodala went to one-on-one defense. Wade's speed dropped significantly, but his body was really good. He forced Iguodala to rush to the mid-range, preparing to force the shot. Wade hit several strong mid-range shots today.
However, just when Wade burst into the middle distance, the referee's whistle sounded!
Kwame Brown raises his hands!
Wade was confused when he saw the referee indicating that Kwame Brown had fouled O'Neal!
This hasn't reached the free throw stage yet. A foul tactic?
In overtime, free throws are started only after the second non-offensive foul!
However, what the Eagles want here is not to send O'Neal to the free throw line.
O'Neal's free throws are really good at critical moments. His inaccurate free throws are only in regular time. He always performs well at critical moments. This is the biggest difference between him and the future No. 1 center Dwight Howard.
During the Lakers' three consecutive championships, mainly in the second year of the three consecutive championships, when they had 15 wins and 1 loss, all the teams that hacked O'Neal, the Trail Blazers allowed O'Neal to average 14 free throws per game, and the Kings allowed O'Neal to average 15 free throws per game, were swept. Of course, the Spurs, who did not hack the shark and only allowed O'Neal to average 7 free throws per game, were beaten by Kobe's mid-range singles with an average of 33 points per game and a hit rate of 51%...
If the Hawks did not hack the shark, it would be funny if O'Neal's free throws killed the game.
Mike Woodson's defensive tactics were just to disturb the Heat's mood from the beginning of the overtime.
It's that simple. Kwame Brown only had 3 fouls today, so it's a waste not to use them.
When Liu Mang heard the defensive tactics arranged by Mike Woodson, he felt it was too wretched... It suited his heart too much! Although I don't know where he learned such a vulgar trick, it's OK as long as it works!
Wade just tried his best to break through, and just when he felt that it was just right, he wanted to stop and shoot. He felt that he might score, but it was ruined by the opponent's tactical foul, and he was filled with annoyance.
As for whether Wade could score the ball just now, no one knew. Wade just felt that he could definitely score. This was the confidence of a superstar. Moreover, he didn't shoot it. He felt that he could score just now, and felt that his sense of rhythm was completely destroyed.
This is a psychological tactic! Wade's urgent psychology throughout the game and his anxious mentality now are all concentrated together.
The Heat's offensive time returned to 14 seconds, and the Heat got a complete opportunity to reorganize the offense. Wade received the serve. On the Hawks side, except for Jason Terry who was closely guarding Posey's three-pointer, Liu Mang had already shrunk.
Wade did not trust Payton's three-pointer very much, and chose to believe in himself. He broke through to the mid-range and faced the defensive mid-range jump shot of Liu Mang and Iguodala who were double-teaming...
It's iron!
Wade finally didn't make this magical shot!
Josh Smith, who had already shrunk, grabbed the defensive rebound over Kwame Brown and O'Neal!
Josh Smith used Kwame Brown to squeeze O'Neal, grabbed the rebound and pushed forward himself, sprinting quickly. Haslem came up to block him, but was dribbled past by Josh Smith from behind!
There were bursts of exclamations at the scene. This dribbling didn't look like an inside player!
Josh Smith's dribbling behind his back also attracted the attention of the Heat's defense. After Josh Smith rushed through half court, the people who chased up from the Heat blocked him.
At this time, Josh Smith threw the ball to the left corner, and Liu Mang had already sneaked over!
The most direct impact of the decline in physical fitness on the Heat was not retreat, but attention!
Liu Mang received the ball, and there was no one within two meters. He adjusted it, and the Heat didn't chase him. There was no point... and no motivation!
Liu Mang's three-pointer after adjustment...
The eighth three-pointer hit!
8 out of 14!
Liu Mang has made all four three-pointers since the fourth quarter! He didn't miss a single one!
113 to 107, 6 points difference, the Heat are completely desperate!
After being followed by the lingering devil for the whole game, being dragged into overtime by a buzzer beater, the Heat players' mentality has collapsed. Now, they are completely desperate!
This game is over!
In the next three minutes, the Heat only got two points with O'Neal's tip-in. With 31 seconds left, Wade took a three-pointer from the outside, but his luck was not so good this time. He missed all three three-pointers. Liu Mang was originally preparing to double-team, but he just picked up the defensive rebound. Several inside players were still fighting there, and Liu Mang grabbed the seventh rebound of the game.
116 to 109, 7 points difference, more than 20 seconds left, give up... The Heat still didn't give up and chose to foul Liu Mang.
Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made both free throws, raising his score to 53 points!
118 to 109, 9 points difference, 28 seconds.
A small number of fans at the scene began to shout "Maimang Moment", while the Heat fans who stayed at the scene were as silent as death!
To score 9 points in 28 seconds, there can only be Maimang Moment.
There were only more than 2,000 but less than 3,000 fans who supported the Hawks to watch the game away from home, but the American Airlines Center seemed to be occupied by Hawks fans. At the Heat's home court, after Liu Mang and Jason Terry made two consecutive three-pointers in overtime, half of their home fans had left, and then the score difference was widened. There were only 6,000 to 7,000 people left in the home court of 20,000 people!
The scene was scary empty!
McGrady heard the nickname "Maimang Moment" from China. Although he was banished to the bench in overtime, he still smiled.
That was one of the few "glorious moments" for him besides being the assist king and the scoring king, and the championship! Moreover, the opponent of the glory moment was the opponent of the finals, and they defeated this opponent in the finals and won the championship, which added new glory to the "Maimang Moment".
The Heat made three consecutive three-pointers in the end. O'Neal was very angry in the last 20 seconds and continuously shot the ball to the outside line, but Payton and Wade missed all three shots.
In overtime, the Heat's regular shots were shut out! If it weren't for O'Neal's tip-in, they didn't get a single point in the entire overtime!
The referee blew the whistle to end the game. With only 5,000 people left, it felt like the Hawks were at home. The Hawks players cheered and celebrated with the fans!
53 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists!
After four "downturns", Liu Mang played brutal data in the overtime against the Heat, helping the Hawks to reverse the Heat 118-109 and win 5 consecutive games!
The data of the first four games, Liu Mang now proved with actual actions that it is not that he is no longer good, not that he is not waving enough, and the boat cannot move, but... I am teasing you!
Liu Mang used to take fewer shots, pass more, and even hold the ball less, mainly because he wanted to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates.
As for data, Liu Mang got enough in the first two years. This year, he got more ball rights. Iguodala and Josh Smith need data to stimulate their young hearts. McGrady also needs to play more singles to maintain his singles state. Sometimes at critical moments, if Liu Mang and Jason Terry don't play well, McGrady's singles are crucial.
In the third year, there will always be a slack mentality. Liu Mang is willing to sacrifice something to keep his teammates motivated.
And it's easier to play, why not.
Losing the game is not losing people. The Heat's performance today is good enough. Liu Mang went to hug the Heat players after the game... except Payton.
Payton ignored Liu Mang and left directly.
Liu Mang looked at Wade with an unwilling face, and said during the hug: "Dwyane, next time, I hope you can give me a more pleasant game experience. You... are still far away..."
Wade looked at Liu Mang's back as he turned and left. That unwillingness and obsession to win became stronger!
Losing to Liu Mang in the regular season can only make Wade more unwilling, and it is estimated that it will reach a peak in the playoffs.
But Liu Mang wants this. He must make Wade unwilling to the extreme, and then defeat him when Wade is most desperate, so as to suppress Jordan, who is five centimeters shorter and has great ambitions!
…
…
53 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds, Liu Mang's outrageous data after the game... did not cause much surprise. Kobe had already scored 50+ twice in the first seven games. Liu Mang scored 53 points and 11 assists. People thought this was normal. Liu Mang in the previous few games was not like Liu Mang at all.
What was mentioned more in the news was not the Hawks' reversal and 5 consecutive wins, but something that was very surprising. No one noticed it except Wade at the time.
Some sharp-eyed media translated Liu Mang's lip language when Wade missed both free throws.
So, it was November, and the cold drink industry in China and the United States suddenly became hot.
Especially when some people are playing streetball and can't beat the opponent, they immediately run to the canteen, convenience store, or supermarket to buy popsicles...
"Wait a minute, it's a bit hot, I'll have some cold drinks and then kill you..." This kind of excuse after losing is popular in streetball courts in China, the United States, and some other countries.
The strange thing is that the fans who were freezing cold after eating popsicles in the winter, when their hands were shaking, the ball that was originally inaccurate became more accurate...
The company that makes refrigerated cold drinks doesn't know whether to thank Liu Mang or be depressed. It should have been a holiday, but it still has to work overtime, but there is overtime pay...
Thank you friends for the rewards, thank you for the monthly tickets, and thank you for the recommendation tickets.
Go to sleep and continue tomorrow. Update tomorrow afternoon, I still have things to do when I go to the company in the morning.
