Chapter 1210 1209. Different Perceptions of the Maimang Combination

Playing with talent, although talent can make up for a lot of things, but when it comes to relying on his own strength to deal with a championship-level team in the playoffs, McGrady feels a little inadequate.

It's not that McGrady is not good enough, his skills in all aspects have been trained to a near-top level. The mid-range shooting rating of 89 and the three-point rating of 88 are all excellent abilities that ordinary players can use to make a living.

But in addition to the breakthroughs that rely on strong physical fitness, which are super top-notch, and the organizational ability that was focused on last season and can be improved without too much physical training, as long as the talent is enough and the basic skills are good, it is also top-notch. Other abilities, from shooting to defense, even rebounding, low-post singles and high-post back-ups are first-class, and they are almost reaching the top level, but not the top.

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

But McGrady doesn't want to practice, but he can't practice like them.

Just as Liu Mang's system described, McGrady is like a flawed incarnation of God left in the world. God is jealous of his talent, so he has many bad lucks.

If it is a regular season, McGrady can definitely play the strongest data and efficiency in the league. He did it in the 02-03 season, with an efficiency value of more than 30. He got 10 first-place votes before entering the playoffs and ranked fourth in the MVP rankings. Eighty percent of the regular season MVPs do not have such a high efficiency value.

But when playing against such a championship-level team, McGrady is more suitable to be a supporting role, not a main attack point, just like the finals against the Spurs last year.

Fortunately, McGrady now has Liu Mang by his side!

At this time, McGrady has a superstar to rely on. He can make a more appropriate choice when he can do everything but is just a little bit short...

Be a Pippen-type role!

McGrady received Liu Mang's serve and advanced to the frontcourt. The Hawks attacked first in the fourth quarter.

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

The Heat sent out Payton, Wade, Posey, Haslem, and O'Neal in the fourth quarter, ready to fight for defense 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 of the Hawks shot mediocrely today. The Hawks' shooting percentage was only 42%, but Liu Mang scored 31 points with 12 of 20 shots in three quarters, with a hit rate of 60%! Not much worse than Wade's performance!

What limited Liu Mang's scoring was not his touch, but his lack of opportunities!

Either he was defended to the basket and double-teamed, or he was double-teamed in advance.

Previously, the Heat defended Liu Mang's off-ball movement very well, so Liu Mang had to attack with the ball, but his attack attracted teammates to double-team him and he couldn't make the shot, which was very hurtful.

But this time, the Heat found that Liu Mang's movement had changed a lot from before!

From Liu Mang's personal perspective, the biggest role of the star card is the temporary burst ability, and the ability and playing style of those stars, but for the opponent, the most terrifying thing is not that Liu Mang's ability suddenly becomes stronger and bursts from time to time, but the change in Liu Mang's playing style!

It's just like a different person playing!

In the past, Liu Mang's movement was tacitly blocked by his teammates. Of course, he also has an excellent ability to actively find pick-and-rolls.

But this time, Liu Mang not only used his teammates' pick-and-rolls, but also used opponents as screens!

The Heat have been used to Liu Mang's previous running position. This is something they have studied for a long time, starting from the offseason last year. The Heat's only goal since O'Neal was to win the championship. The Hawks are the biggest obstacle to their winning the championship. 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 Hawks coaching staff could defend Liu Mang without the ball no matter how they fought wits and courage, allowing Liu Mang to play very successfully with the ball.

But this time, Liu Mang's running position and the Heat players' defensive coordination went wrong!

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

Although McGrady was directing his teammates to cut, he was always paying attention to Liu Mang. McGrady's ability to be strengthened without being restricted by physical fitness is to organize offensive awareness!

When Liu Mang used Josh Smith as a stake and affected the defense, McGrady judged that Liu Mang was about to have an open position, and passed the ball to the bottom corner tacitly. As soon as Liu Mang reached the bottom corner, the ball fell into his hands from above!

"Ding... Quick Shooting Master Level 5 is triggered. The host ignores running interference when receiving the ball and shooting this time, and the shooting speed is increased by 30%..."

Wade ran with Liu Mang for a long time and did not encounter a pick-and-roll. He also followed Liu Mang around the pick-and-roll and did not lose his position. Unexpectedly, he collided with his teammates in the end!

Wade saw that Liu Mang received McGrady's pass as soon as he got an open position, and rushed towards Liu Mang after standing firm.

Wade tried his best. When Liu Mang jumped, he rushed to the take-off point and jumped at the same time as Liu Mang, and he jumped while sprinting, jumping higher than Liu Mang!

When Wade jumped, he felt that he had a chance to block the ball!

But!

After Wade jumped, Liu Mang had already thrown the ball!

There was only a difference of 0.2 seconds in between! Liu Mang shot 0.2 seconds faster than usual in a one-on-one shot!

Wade stretched out his hand and hit Liu Mang's palm when he threw the ball. He was 0.2 seconds slower, so he hit his hand!

The referee whistled!

Wade hit his hand and it was a foul!

The ball was hit very obviously, the sound was very crisp, and there was no problem with the whistle!

Not only that, Liu Mang made a hollow three-pointer in the bottom corner!

Liu Mang's running position was perfect, McGrady passed the ball to him, and Liu Mang felt very comfortable when shooting, and his physical fitness when shooting was not affected by the running position. He felt very smooth when shooting. When he shot, he knew it would definitely go in!

3+1!

Liu Mang ignored Wade, who was stomping his feet and sulking and his cheeks seemed to be a little bigger, and walked to the top arc and shook hands with McGrady.

In McGrady's opinion, he lacks everything a little bit, but in Liu Mang's opinion, McGrady is so good that he can do anything!

That is, McGrady compares each of his skills with the strongest person, while Liu Mang looks at McGrady's comprehensive ability. This is the second superstar in the league with a comprehensive ability evaluation of 98!

However, what makes Liu Mang most excited is not the completion of the cooperation, but his running position just now, which feels great!

That's it for today, continue writing, save some manuscripts, and there will be four more tomorrow~
