Chapter 1211 1210. Final Quarter Reversal

Liu Mang really wanted his body to remember the feeling of running. He could feel that Ray Allen had practiced the running skills to the point where they were integrated into his body!

Liu Mang had no intuitive feeling to compare Reggie Miller's three-point running, Alan Houston's mid-range running and Ray Allen's three-point running, but he believed that Ray Allen's running was no worse than these two!

Liu Mang used the Ray Allen star card and got the 4th-level running king feature bonus. When he saw the positions of his teammates and opponents, he naturally knew where to run and how to run was the best choice.

79 to 81, the score difference was narrowed to two points!

Liu Mang easily got 3 points, and there were free throws. The Heat players felt overwhelmed!

Especially Wade, who was defending Liu Mang, Liu Mang's sudden change in running style made him very uncomfortable.

Liu Mang walked up to the free throw line, shook his hand which was slapped by Wade and had red marks on it, received the ball from the referee, adjusted it, and made the free throw!

80 to 81, in one round, the 5-point difference became 1 point!

Liu Mang's personal score also rose to 35 points!

Attack and defense changed, the Heat attacked, Wade made a pick-and-roll and made a mid-range shot from outside the free throw line...

Also scored!

83 to 80, the Heat once again took a 3-point lead.

Then it was the Hawks' turn to attack, McGrady held the ball, Liu Mang cut into the basket from the middle and ran out from the left. O'Neal, who was afraid of Liu Mang, went to block Liu Mang, and Wade also bypassed Josh Smith and prepared to double-team Liu Mang with O'Neal, but Liu Mang just came out from the left side of the basket and ran back and ran out from the right side of the basket. Iguodala came to help Liu Mang block Payton who wanted to double-team, and when Liu Mang ran to the right corner, he was empty! McGrady passed the ball very timely!

Liu Mang received the ball and shot three points... and scored again!

The sudden change in his running style brought Liu Mang's off-ball running into a whole new state!

83-83 tie!

The Heat, who had always maintained a slight lead, were tied by Liu Mang's two consecutive three-pointers and 7 points in the first minute of the fourth quarter!

Liu Mang scored 38 points!

The Heat called a timeout!

After working hard for three quarters to lead by 5 points, they were tied by Liu Mang all of a sudden. This felt too tortured for the Heat!

And Pat Riley couldn't think of a solution for a while. It wasn't a problem with Pat Riley's coaching ability. Popovich, Carlisle, and Zen Master couldn't solve this situation.

A superstar with very distinctive characteristics suddenly changed his playing style, and it was still a superstar performance. How can they defend?

They had done a lot of training before against Liu Mang's ability to attack with both hands, Liu Mang's three-point running, and Liu Mang's singles. How to defend Liu Mang was almost engraved into the bones of the Heat players. Liu Mang's play style changed so drastically, how could they adapt?

The Heat were making emergency adjustments. On the Hawks side, Coach Kruger saw that Liu Mang had changed his play style again and had gotten used to it. What he had to do now was to maximize the offensive threat created by Liu Mang!

…

After the timeout, the Hawks sent Korver to replace Iguodala. Liu Mang and McGrady continued to partner in the backcourt, and Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown's inside combination came on the court.

The Heat did not make any substitutions. The outside defense combination of Payton, Wade, and Posey was the strongest, and the inside defense combination of Haslem and O'Neal was also the strongest.

When the Heat attacked, O'Neal came up and gave a fierce one. He received the ball, turned around, squeezed Kwame Brown, and scored two points with one hand.

85 to 83, the Heat continued to score on the offensive end.

When it was the Hawks' turn to attack, Liu Mang still played without the ball.

This time, Liu Mang was double-teamed by Haslem and Wade as soon as he ran around the basket. The Heat doubled Liu Mang without the ball!

If Ray Allen was still likely to be defended without the ball because of his lack of speed, Liu Mang's speed combined with Ray Allen's 80% running awareness, it would be impossible for one person to defend him!

McGrady took the opportunity to rush into the basket with the ball. When Rasheed Wallace cut in the air and attracted O'Neal to make up for the defense, he passed the ball to Kwame Brown, who scored two points with an alley-oop!

85-85 tie!

The Heat felt the torture they had felt before. When they scored, the Hawks scored. This feeling was too uncomfortable!

The game continued to be tense for a few minutes. Before the official timeout, Liu Mang hit the third three-pointer of the quarter and overtook the score!

98 to 95, the Hawks successfully overtook the score in the sixth minute of the fourth quarter!

Liu Mang took 3 shots, and all 3 three-pointers hit!

Scored 10 points in a row!

With six minutes left, Liu Mang had already scored 41 points!

Liu Mang's few shots were not because he didn't dare to shoot, but because he didn't have the opportunity to shoot. The Heat didn't dare to let him shoot at all, and Liu Mang's restraining defense kept the Hawks close to the score. When Liu Mang finally had the opportunity to shoot, he hit it and overtook the score!

The Heat called a timeout and entered the official timeout!

…

After the timeout, the Heat's defense became more fierce and the double-teaming became more urgent, but the Eastern Conference Finals had already entered the second game, and the Hawks had met Artest in the first round and the poor version of James and Wade in the second round. They had long been accustomed to this high-intensity confrontation. Liu Mang, the two-time scoring champion, had always been under the strongest defensive pressure. He used Ray Allen's running position to play with ease, repeatedly shooting cold arrows from outside the three-point line, and from time to time, he used the opponent to block his three-pointer and suddenly ran back to the basket.

The Hawks had many people who could pass the ball. McGrady passed the ball to the teammate who was vacant because of Liu Mang. After receiving the ball and attracting the defense again, the vacant teammate passed the ball back to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang went crazy in the fourth quarter!

He made 5 of 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, 2 of 4 shots in the interior offense, 3 of 3 free throws, 7 of 9 shots in a single quarter, and scored 22 points!

53 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists!

With Liu Mang's crazy performance of 22 points in the final quarter, McGrady organized the Hawks' offense in a tight manner and sent 5 assists in a single quarter. After the Hawks overtook the score in the middle of the fourth quarter, they never let the Heat lead again.

111 to 107, the Hawks scored 35 to 26 points in the final quarter and reversed the Heat in the final quarter!

Wade scored 33 points and 13 assists, O'Neal scored 20 points and 14 rebounds, and Liu Mang scored 53 points alone!

With McGrady's 20 points and 11 assists, Liu Mang and McGrady teamed up to lead the Hawks to reverse the Heat!

Pat Riley felt like he was going crazy!

The first time he played in the playoffs with the Hawks, as a head coach who personally played against the Hawks, he finally understood why other head coaches were helpless when they met the Hawks in the playoffs.

That kid is a monster!
