Chapter 1200 1199. Liu Mang Is Invincible!

As Rasheed Wallace roared, Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air.

"Ding... Eagles devil home trigger, from Rasheed Wallace and Phillips Arena fans."

"Ding... Pat Riley's iron-blooded field is triggered to offset the morale pressure of the Eagles' devilish home court."

When Pat Riley was the head coach of the Heat, the Heat's iron-blooded atmosphere gave them a tenacious fighting spirit.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the referee signaled the two teams to start.

The Eagles sent out a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Heat sent out a starting lineup of Jason Williams, Wade, Posey, Antoine Walker, and O'Neal.

Kwame Brown and O'Neal came to the center circle.

O'Neal glared at the lucky junior No. 1 pick who had stolen two of his All-Star starts, and Kwame Brown stared back not to be outdone.

Kwame Brown is no longer timid now. Anyway, he is used to being beaten by opponents like O'Neal and Yao Ming. He is waiting! When O'Neal gets old, he can come back.

The boss said it well, first it will be bitter and then it will be sweet. This is how Kwame Brown understands it.

Liu Mang watched the two top pick centers in the center circle kissing each other, and silently yelled in his heart: Let's fight... Little Kwame, if you are beaten, I will heal you...

The two stared at each other with big eyes, and the two of them got closer and closer. When the referee came to the center circle with the ball, he quickly asked the two to separate, so as not to start fighting before the game started.

After Kwame Brown was separated, he took a deep breath, bent his legs, waited for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air. The moment the ball reached its highest point, Kwame Brown suddenly bounced up. , move the ball backward!

O'Neal jumped a little without much struggle. I think back then, he could jump as high as Kwame Brown, bounce as fast as Kwame Brown, and was ten kilograms heavier than Kwame Brown. But now he weighs more than twenty kilograms and is still 34 years old. , O'Neal chose to accept his fate.

The Eagles attack first!

Liu Mang received the ball and advanced toward the frontcourt, observing the opponent's defense as he advanced.

Wade, Posey, Wade's defense is better than McGrady, and Prince's defense is better than Posey's. When Posey and Prince have no ability to hold the ball, Liu Mang found that his side and the opponent's The defensive effect on the outside is not much different!

The Heat have limited their opponents to only 95 points this season, and the Heat themselves average 102 points per game, which is quite outstanding!

Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt and encountered Wade's defense. Tracy McGrady was pressed against by Posey. Even though Posey was thin, he was all muscle, and he had Battier's shameless defensive feel. He was both intelligent and intelligent. Somewhat obscene.

Liu Mang prepared himself for the first ball.

When Liu Mang approached the three-point line, he suddenly accelerated!

"Ding...the strongest first step is triggered, the host's speed +5 within two seconds..."

Liu Mang charged towards the right!

Wade was already ready, and when Liu Mang accelerated, he kicked his foot violently!

Compared with Liu Mang, who can only rely on skill bursts to accelerate on the offensive end, Wade has such acceleration due to his physical fitness, and can also quickly move laterally on defense!

Having been prepared for a long time, Wade immediately stood in front of Liu Mang.

While Liu Mang was traveling at high speed, he slammed the ball on the ground and turned his upper body to the left. Wade's steps were fast and he immediately moved sideways to the right.

but! Liu Mang smashed the ball down without using too much of an angle to the left. Liu Mang received the ball that bounced quickly with his left hand and continued to break through to the right!

In the duel between two superstars who destroyed his knees, Liu Mang deceived Wade, who was wary of his left hand, and successfully broke through from the right side of the top arc!

After Wade lost his position, he immediately pressed back and rushed directly towards Liu Mang. When Liu Mang reached the basket, O'Neal quickly blocked him. Wade also pressed towards Liu Mang, trapping Liu Mang in the reasonable collision area. outside.

The strongest shooting guard and the strongest center, their rough defense made Liu Mang almost lose the ball.

Fortunately, Liu Mang caught the ball in time, grabbed the ball with his right hand, avoided O'Neal's arm, and threw the ball towards the basket...

Didn't get in...

But when Liu Mang threw the ball, it was a very successful performance!

Kwame Brown grabbed an offensive rebound behind O'Neal and put both hands on the basket to score two points.

Successful support!

When Liu Mang retreated from defense, he felt that this game was a bit difficult. O'Neal was so fast in assisting in defense!

And O'Neal's defensive awareness is even better than Liu Mang imagined!

When O'Neal was in the Lakers, Jackson didn't have strict requirements on his defense. Even in the finals, Liu Mang didn't feel that O'Neal was that good at assisting in defense even in the finals. But when he came to the Heat, the 34-speed O'Neal was better than the two. The 32-year-old O'Neal was even better at assisting defense, mainly because he lost a few kilograms and moved better.

But if you score a goal, it's a good goal.

Liu Mang retreated to the backcourt and waited for Jason Williams to advance and pass the ball to Wade. Liu Mang immediately went to guard... Posey's open shot and cut.

Defending Wade, of course, must be left to McGrady. Jason Williams, a breakthrough master and three-point master, can be left to Prince.

Wade received the ball and saw that Liu Mang could guard their player with the worst outside scoring ability. This kind of treatment is enviable...

McGrady didn't defend Wade that far this time, and couldn't give Wade a chance to rush up and make a pull-up jump shot. In the series between the Heat and the Nets, Wade shot 48% from the field, but he was still beaten. The three-point shooting of 1 of 12 lowered the shooting percentage. Among them, the mid-range shooting percentage was as high as 42.9%. He averaged 4 mid-range shots per game, which was better than Carter. McGrady had to be more defensive.

After Wade waited for his teammates to get into position, he started to break through!

McGrady used the same method of guarding Artest and James to press directly at Wade!

McGrady's rough defensive action really stopped Wade's sudden acceleration and forced Wade to change direction. After McGrady forced Wade to stop, he reached for the ball.

But as soon as Wade slapped the ball behind his back to avoid McGrady's reaching out to steal it, the referee's whistle sounded!

McGrady and Wade looked at the referee at the same time. Neither of them felt there was anything wrong with their offense and defense just now. They thought it was an off-ball foul somewhere else. Whether it was an offensive foul or a defensive foul is very important.

However, the two saw the referee pointing in their direction. After taking a closer look, they saw that it was McGrady!

McGrady was surprised, but didn't say anything. It was indeed a foul. He raised his hand and acknowledged the foul.

The Heat continued to attack.

The ball was served again, and the Eagles' defense was a little messed up. O'Neal sent the ball from the sideline, which made it difficult for the Eagles to get into a defensive position. O'Neal hoisted the ball to the free throw line. Antoine Walker received the ball and took a step, squeezing Rasheed - Wallace scored two points on a layup.

This short, muscular, fat and agile old man's style of play is worthy of that of Pierce's former boss. He is too difficult to guard against and his whole body is full of fake moves.

Antoine Walker, who no longer shoots three-pointers and plays the game according to Pat Riley's needs, has performed well this season.

2 to 2 draw!

It's time for the Eagles offense again.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play singles. Wade originally wanted to guard against Liu Mang's three-pointer and at the same time guard against Liu Mang's breakthrough. He wanted to do his best.

But he understood on the first attack, don't think so much, just defend one aspect.

When Liu Mang was close to the three-point line, Wade directly blocked it and defended the three-pointer.

When Wade approached, Liu Mang swung the ball behind his back and slapped it to the left. At the same time, he took the initiative to press his left shoulder up to confront Wade. With the force of Wade's pressure, Liu Mang turned around. , his right arm pressed against Wade's right rib, not giving Wade a chance to exert force, and he successfully occupied a breakthrough position. After receiving the ball with his left hand, he broke through from the left!

Beautiful turn! The fans at the scene were immediately fired up. This turn was so beautiful.

Wade was in pain and could not use his body to suppress Liu Mang's turn, but he did not tell the referee that Liu Mang elbowed him. Such a small offensive move cannot be seen in slow motion unless the offensive player admits that such a small move Liu Mang learned the trick from Kobe, but Kobe didn't expect that he would actually teach such a guy...

Wade was elbowed and immediately chased Liu Mang.

This time Wade got closer faster. Unlike the last time Liu Mang broke through, he was pushed away. He didn't flank O'Neal at the best time, giving Liu Mang room to take action. This time Wade got closer. Pressing Liu Mang toward the left baseline, as long as Liu Mang approaches the left sideline of the three-second zone, Wade and O'Neal can block Liu Mang in the corner of the three-second zone!

Liu Mang clearly judged this. After reaching the baseline, he found that his teammates had not moved out of position, and Liu Mang did not continue to break toward the basket. When Wade gave up space to break through the baseline, Liu Mang turned 90 to the right on the baseline. 0 degree take-off, mid-range jump shot at 0 degree angle...

Picturesque mid-range jump shot...

Hit!

Wade watched Liu Mang blowing the smoke from his gun and retreating with a smile, he couldn't help it, he was too strong! Liu Mang, who focuses on scoring, is simply undefendable!

Wade wasn't even sure if Liu Mang saw the basket when he turned around and shot the jump shot!

From the beginning of the game, the two teams were very focused on defense. However, Liu Mang was in good shape at the beginning, and he did not need to focus too much on the defensive end, just assisting in defense. He had studied the Heat's defense for a long time. Knowing where you are and what the opponent's defensive formation is like, you know how to make more correct choices.

Liu Mang made 4 of 6 shots at the start and scored 8 points!

All were mid-range shots, coupled with Kwame Brown's secondary attack and McGrady's mid-range catch-and-shoot jumper, the Eagles scored 12 points in five minutes!

For the Heat, Wade made 1 of 3 shots and 1 of 2 free throws to score 3 points. O'Neal scored two singles and scored 3 points on 1 of 2 shots. There were also two layups from Antoine Walker. points, only 8 points.

The Eagles started with a 12-8 run in the first five minutes!

The biggest gap between the Hawks and the Heat, apart from Liu Mang, is that the Hawks' starting one-on-one defense is already so strong that it overflows. Although the Heat has a perimeter defensive efficiency similar to that of the Hawks, Wade, the Heat's best offensive player, is He is strong and has to be responsible for defense!
