Chapter 1223 1222. Happiness comes suddenly (510 subscriptions)

For the Hawks, they played so well in the first half, but only led by two points at halftime. If it were normal, they would definitely be depressed. Liu Mang scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, McGrady scored 10 points and 6 assists in the first half, Jason Terry played 8 minutes in the second quarter and scored 11 points. The Hawks scored 54 points, and the three of them scored 37 points.

But this time was different. The Hawks were leading the Heat at halftime, and they were very excited! This is an away game, and they have never led at halftime on the road before!

As for the Heat, they were only two points behind when the Hawks played so well in the first half. According to common sense, they should be happy, but this is their home court, and they can't be happy.

This is the first time that Wade has opened the body hair whistle since they were suppressed at home!

The atmosphere in the locker rooms of the two teams is very different.

The Hawks were discussing tactics very enthusiastically. On the Heat side, Pat Riley looked unhappy and was analyzing the defensive problems in the first half.

It was a very unsolvable problem, how to deal with Liu Mang and McGrady's organized offense!

Pat Riley couldn't find a solution. Who the hell could deal with a team with two McGradys or two pennies? Role players are still so jumpy!

Pat Riley took advantage of the halftime break to go to the video room to find his eldest apprentice Stan Van Gundy. Stan Van Gundy said that he was just a lonely editor and refused to give advice.

In this series, Stan Van Gundy, as a team consultant, went to do the video work. He didn't even go to the scene. He still had two years of contract. He was holding on. Anyway, he was paid 1.5 million US dollars a year, so he could hold on.

Pat Riley felt that the fat man was troublesome. As a teacher, didn't he just want to win another championship? As for now, he didn't say a word!

Unable to think of a solution, and the apprentice didn't give him face, Pat Riley was a little depressed.

At this time, a young editor in his 30s in the video room came to Pat Riley and said, "Boss, I have a solution."

"Go ahead." Pat Riley was annoyed and didn't want to listen, but someone had a solution, so he listened.

"Boss, we can do this..." The young editor began to talk about the way he thought of to deal with the Hawks.

Pat Riley was just listening casually, but he didn't expect to hear something he didn't even think of!

Pat Riley began to look at the young man in front of him and asked, "What's your name?"

"Eric Spoelstra." The young man said excitedly.

...

...

After the halftime break, the Hawks sent out Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace.

The Heat sent out Jason Williams, Wade, Antoine Walker, Haslem, and O'Neal.

Wade and O'Neal are ready to play the whole game.

Pat Riley was full of confidence again, and so were the Heat players. They had a way to deal with the Hawks' double-control combination!

During the halftime break, the Heat's locker room was very low-pressure and serious, because they didn't know how to deal with the double-control. Now there is a way to curb Liu Mang's change in play!

But...

Before the Heat could use their defensive strategy to defend against the double-control core play, this defensive strategy had not yet been verified to be feasible, or the Hawks didn't even give them a chance to test whether it was feasible...

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Heat used Antoine Walker to play as a small forward. Antoine Walker squeezed Prince's turnaround jump shot in the mid-range, but Prince interfered well in place, and Antoine Walker missed the mid-range shot.

When the Hawks were on offense, the Heat were ready to defend Liu Mang's breakthrough pass or Liu Mang's second pass to McGrady when he broke through without the ball, Liu Mang went outside the three-point line, more than half a meter away from the three-point line, and threw it directly...

Wade was still gesturing with his teammates behind his back, and Liu Mang threw it like that...

Liu Mang didn't understand why Wade was standing inside the three-point line! At least he should stand on the three-point line! Too "disrespectful"!

Liu Mang's three-point shot was equivalent to an open three-pointer!

57 to 52, the Hawks opened up the score difference to the largest 5 points in the game!

Wade looked at Liu Mang dully and returned to the previous game, blowing the gun and pointing back to defense after making a three-pointer...

It seemed that he had made a fool! Wade thought that he was only concerned with defending Liu Mang's back-turning breakthrough, and didn't even go up, completely ignoring Liu Mang's three-pointer!

A few seconds ago, Wade was still imagining defending Liu Mang's turnaround support, but now he is a little confused!

The gap was pulled to 5 points in an instant!

The defensive strategy that they thought was the best in terms of IQ didn't even have a chance to be used!

Pat Riley was about to vomit blood on the sidelines, and he was just thinking about how to defend Liu Mang's pass. Then he remembered that Liu Mang had many passes but few assists, just like Penny Anfernee Hardaway.

Moreover, Liu Mang was the leading scorer of the Hawks in the first half! Liu Mang's total three-point hits this season ranked first in history in a single season!

Liu Mang was surprised that he actually got such a three-point opportunity, 19 points!

No one could imagine that the core player of the team, who relied on the double-control combination in the first half and led by two points in the away game at halftime, breaking the embarrassing situation of never leading in the away game at halftime before the series, would actually give up the first half's style of play in the second half and switch back to the previous inefficient style of play!

The Heat's emergency tactics during the intermission were all designed to deal with Liu Mang's pass and back-to-back pass, which were the killer moves that Jordan and Pippen could not defend against. Who knew that the Hawks suddenly changed their style of play!

It should be said that no one expected that Liu Mang played like a fish in water in the first half, scoring 16 points with 6 of 12 shots in the first half, and played a very successful half-time game, but he changed his style of play in the second half!

This was a fatal blow to the Heat's tactics in the third quarter!

The defensive tactics were misguided, so they were defeated by Liu Mang's three-pointer and McGrady's breakthrough pass at the beginning, and they played a wave of 11 to 4!

The Hawks made 4 of 6 shots at the beginning of the third quarter, while the Heat only made 2 of 5 shots!

After playing for more than three minutes, the Heat was full of confidence and wanted to overtake the score at the beginning of the third quarter. Who knew that the Hawks opened the score difference to 65 to 56, and the score difference suddenly came to 9 points!

Liu Mang scored two three-pointers, raising his personal score to 22 points. McGrady broke through and scored a 2+1. Rasheed Wallace caught the ball and shot for two points.

Happiness came too suddenly!

After the effect of Liu Mang's Anfernee Hardaway's star card ended, Liu Mang was ready to try it out in the third quarter. If it didn't work, he would think of other ways. Unexpectedly, the Heat's brains turned green and their defense was strange. When the Heat players adjusted themselves to the normal defense in the previous few games, Liu Mang's touch could no longer be stopped, and he scored two three-pointers in the beginning!
