Chapter 1129 1128. Wade's Hesitation

O'Neal and Kwame Brown fought hand-to-hand for a long time, and they were all ready to sneak an elbow to Kwame Brown when the Eagles hit the inside, and then help defend. It is rare to be so motivated and want to be on the defensive end. He made a contribution, but after fighting for a long time, he shot directly with 13 seconds left in the attack time!

After being eliminated in the first round of last year's playoffs, O'Neal still regretted a little bit that he had not chosen the Hawks, a team that is becoming more and more wealthy. He was truly envious.

At this stage of O'Neal, what he wants is not a high average salary. What he wants is the total contract price, because it is 100% certain that this will be the last big contract, and he will earn as much as he can.

Now seeing Liu Mang's more Los Angeles-style shooting than the Los Angeles-style shooting, O'Neal immediately stopped envying him!

Fortunately I didn’t go!

Otherwise, just jump from one fire pit to another.

O'Neal was guarded by Kwame Brown and ran to the right side of the front three-second zone. This time, he was not as angry as before when Kwame Brown continued to fight against him.

O'Neal couldn't help but ask Kwame Brown: "Are you happy to be paired with that kind of Robbie?"

Kwame Brown was stunned for a moment and replied: "I'm so happy!"

"You are the No. 1 pick, why are you so spineless!" O'Neal attaches great importance to the No. 1 pick.

"Don't you help Kobe with rebounds? Ace is much better. He is the MVP. Why can't I help him with rebounds?" Kwame Brown didn't feel any shame about this, but showed a trace of pride. .

"What you said makes sense..." O'Neill thought about it and that was really the case.

Continue fighting.

The two champions started a new round of hand-to-hand combat.

During the discussion between the two No. 1 picks on the profound and meaningful topic of happiness in basketball, Jason Williams pushed the ball into the frontcourt, and Liu Mang pressed forward towards Jason Williams.

Jason Williams passed the ball to Wade. Wade received the ball with a solemn expression. Liu Mang scored five points in a row. It was not a problem. This guy can score 90 points in a single game.

The key is that the style of play makes people feel at a loss!

Thinking that half a month ago, Liu Mang was able to score 8 three-pointers against a team like the Spurs, which had the lowest opponent three-point shooting percentage in the league, Wade felt a little emotional.

The game has just begun!

Wade adjusted his mentality and continued to choose breakthroughs when faced with McGrady's defense that only guarded against breakthroughs!

Flash Wade's breakthrough in the 2005-06 season was undefendable because of the mid-range shot. So when Wade approached the free throw line, McGrady had to immediately stick to it, otherwise this guy would just shoot.

Facing Wade's breakthrough, the Eagles continued to attack. Rasheed Wallace continued to block Wade. Wade distributed the ball to Haslem. This time the Eagles' quick-rotating defense showed off. Pullin Si made up the baseline from a 45-degree angle on the right. Haslem moved the ball to a 45-degree angle. McGrady had already reached Posey at this time. Posey moved the ball to Wade who was one step outside the free throw line. Liu Mang Cover from the bottom corner to Wade, Wade passes to the left corner!

Jason Williams caught the ball and shot an open three-pointer...

Very successful defense!

The Hawks used quick defensive rotations to allow the Heat to make quick choices. Finally, the ball went to Jason Williams. Jason Williams obviously had a huge gap, and he shot quickly according to the rhythm of being led up. Not much adjustment, three-point shot.

Jason Williams missed a three-pointer. This time, Kwame Brown was not grabbed by O'Neal for an offensive rebound. He swatted the ball toward the free throw line. Liu Mang's rock-solid level 5 blocking bonus prevented him from blocking it. Wade caught the ball from Kwame Brown with one hand.

Liu Mang turned around and counterattacked!

"Ding... It is triggered at level 5 when riding alone. The host's speed during this counterattack with the ball is reduced by 40% due to the influence of the ball. Every time an opponent is thrown away, the speed will be +5 for two seconds. Continuous triggers within the effect time can be superimposed. Get rid of it. All blocking players in front have a +8 bounce.”

The Heat's defensive discipline was very good. Haslem, Posey, and Jason Williams had already started to retreat when Jason Williams took the shot, but Liu Mang turned around and wiped out Wade. , the speed suddenly surged to 99!

When Wade turned to chase, he was able to catch up at first, but when Liu Mang surpassed Haslem, who was retreating, Wade pursued at full speed and found that he could not keep up with Liu Mang, who was counterattacking with the ball!

When Liu Mang crossed the midline, only Jason Williams and Posey retreated to the free throw line.

At this time, McGrady rushed towards the basket, Prince and Rasheed Wallace rushed towards the bottom corners on both sides. Although Liu Mang was at the front, the Hawks' four-man counterattack formation made the Heat unable to Not only have to block the three-pointers of Rasheed Wallace and Prince who are separated, but they also have to take into account McGrady's cut!

Liu Mang rushed to the top arc, took off, chased and shot a three-pointer...

The Heat players who were blocking the Eagles' cavalry company were dumbfounded. This was different from the Eagles' previous cavalry tactics! Shouldn't Liu Mang use his threats as a cavalry arrow to create opportunities for his teammates?

Moreover, Kwame Brown is still in the middle line, McGrady is still outside the three-point line, and there are only Heat players under the basket. Based on their previous impression, the Heat players never expected Liu Mang to shoot!

Rasheed Wallace saw Liu Mang take off just after he passed the halfway line, so he stopped rushing forward and turned around to celebrate with his arms outstretched!

Liu Mang's chasing three-pointer slid through a beautiful arc and fell into the basket!

Scored 8 points in a row at the start!

No one was grabbing rebounds or following up under the basket... This was an opportunity! How could Liu Mang not shoot!

Anyway, the game had just started, if he didn't score, he wouldn't score, and if he did, he would be handsome.

Liu Mang's thoughts were getting more and more dangerous.

But, he scored this time!

8 to 2!

After only one and a half minutes, the Hawks scored 8 points! Liu Mang made all 3 shots and scored 8 points in a row, quickly establishing a lead of more than 5 points!

Pat Riley had to call a timeout!

Pat Riley was a little dumbfounded, this three-pointer was too much!

The Heat's offensive efficiency of one out of two shots at the start was normal efficiency, but Liu Mang's three-pointer was completely abnormal!

After Liu Mang broke through 95 from three-point range, what drove his opponents crazy the most was not his accuracy. Liu Mang has always been very accurate. The breakthrough from 94 to 95 did not improve Liu Mang's three-point shooting rate much. It did not make his average three-point shooting number per game have any qualitative improvement. He still averaged 4.3 three-point shooting per game. Liu Mang averaged 10.5 three-point shots per game in the previous 50 games, with a shooting rate of 41%. He made 215 three-pointers, which was very aggressive, but there was not much difference from the number of shots in the first half of this season. His shooting rate did not improve. Instead, it declined a bit because he was more reckless, from 42% to 41%.

But now Liu Mang is more likely to drive his opponents crazy.

Because it seems more incredible!

He dares to shoot in any situation!

He rushed to the three-point line without any rebound guarantee and threw the ball directly. The Heat did not even have a chance to defend. The defense had not yet started, and the opponent threw the ball directly.

It was not that he could not use his strength, but that he did not know how to exert his strength, and the opponent had already scored!

Liu Mang showed the essence of "wave" to the fullest!

Moreover, seeing Rasheed Wallace turn around and start celebrating before Liu Mang threw the ball, the Heat players felt even more scalp numb after seeing his confidence in his teammates!

Today, when playing against the Heat, Liu Mang did not think about passing the ball at the beginning, but tried his best to score first, scoring three goals in a row and stopping the Heat!

…

Just like he didn't know what to do when he met Curry's opponent ten years later, Wade didn't know what to do now.

Wade has been preparing for today's game for a long time, studying Liu Mang's organization of offense, studying Liu Mang's singles, studying how to defend against breakthroughs, how to defend Liu Mang's step-back and high-post back-to-the-basket...

In the end, he didn't use anything, and just made two three-pointers in a row in a simple and rough way.

Wade felt that Liu Mang seemed to have evolved again compared to the last time he played against him...

Even in the last time they played against each other, Wade still felt that he still had a chance to beat Liu Mang, because he had been improving in the past two years, and he felt that he only entered the NBA two years later than Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang has become stronger again!

For the first time in three years, Wade felt that he could not compete.

Facing Liu Mang's continuous ravages in the past three years, Wade began to waver in his heart.

However, after Wade's heart wavered, he played harder.

Wade felt the inner wavering and was very scared. He was afraid that his confidence would be worn away, so he played harder!

After the timeout, neither team made a substitution. Before it was time to make a substitution, Pat Riley just wanted to interrupt Liu Mang's scoring rhythm and emphasize the defense of Liu Mang's three-pointer.

The Heat attacked, and Wade did not pass the ball after the strong breakthrough. He took the initiative to hit the double-teaming Rasheed Wallace, fell to the ground, and got a foul.

Wade started to score by himself. He wanted to use his own score to comfort himself.

Wade made two free throws and helped the Heat narrow the gap to four points.

The Hawks attacked, Liu Mang pushed forward to the frontcourt, and the Heat defended more aggressively. Wade continued to defend Liu Mang. He didn't care whether Liu Mang went to the position where he was best at shooting. He didn't give him any three-point opportunities at all. On the other side, Posey also started to go around McGrady, not wanting McGrady to meet Liu Mang.

But with such defense, Liu Mang passed the ball to his left hand, crossed his arm, and broke through from the left under Wade's pressure!

Jason Williams double-teamed Liu Mang. Liu Mang encountered double-teaming and passed the ball to Prince. Prince received the ball and adjusted the three-pointer in the open position and shot...

It didn't go in!

Turning back to the Heat's offense, Wade continued to break through, or stopped and jumped, or bumped into people, anyway, he just shot, just wanted to score.

That kind of fierceness scared McGrady!
