From today on is the king

Chapter 1202 1201. Body hair whistle is invalid!
This year is the best chance for Wade to win the championship in the next few years that Wade can foresee. Antawn Walker and Payton are so good in the playoffs. It is rare to have such high-quality role players in the future. It is hard to say how O’Neal will be next season.

Although he felt a little ashamed, Wade was still ready to take advantage of his sudden advantage!
He has always had a lot of whistles, but before playing for the Eagles, there were almost no star whistles. The defender against him was McGrady, who was higher than him, but this time he had a star whistle!

Wade made a free throw for a technical foul.

Then players from the two teams came to the court. Liu Mang, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown went to both sides of the three-second zone to grab free throw rebounds.

The Eagles replaced Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith and Kwame Brown.

Heat replaced Jason - Williams, Wade, Posey, Antawn - Walker, Haslem.

Haslem is the treasure of the Heat. With a middle class of 500 million, he averaged 9 points and 9 rebounds per game, and his playing time was only 26 minutes per game. The efficiency was very high. Both the power forward and the center played very well.

Wade made the first free throw, but he made two free throws, so he was not a member of the James-Way combination. Wade made the second free throw!

10 to 12, the Heat are still two points behind.

Josh Smith and Kwame Brown blocked their opponents, and Liu Mang received the rebound.

The lineup of the Heat returned to defense much faster, and did not give Liu Mang a chance to counterattack directly after grabbing a rebound.

Liu Mang quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and the Eagles lineup was also very fast, rushing to the frontcourt quickly, not giving the Heat a chance to lay down a good defensive position.

Liu Mang went beyond the three-point line and passed the ball to Jason Terry before Wade could defend him.

The Heat are very afraid of Jason Terry. This guy averaged 27 points in four games against them in the regular season!
When Jason Terry received the ball, he was alone at a 45-degree angle on the right. The Heat's defensive formation was still chaotic. Antoine Walker and Posey flanked Jason Terry. Liu Mang cut towards the basket. Josh Smith consciously stepped up to block Wade.

The pass was beautiful, the ball was non-stop, attracted flankers, and did not waste time.

Liu Mang received the ball, Wade was blocked, Liu Mang rushed inside, Kwame Brown retreated, and Liu Mang jumped towards Haslem!

Haslem was still fighting with Kwame Brown one second before, and faced the impact of Liu Mang the next second. At [-] meters tall, he chose to get out of the way instead of using the mantis as a car.

Liu Mang smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The game time has just passed 6 minutes, and Liu Mang has 10 points in the half quarter! 14 to 10, the Eagles are still leading by 4 points, and they still have a chance to defend the next one and score another to open the point difference to more than five points!
With a five-point lead, the opening advantage can be established!
Haslem picked up the ball and yelled at his teammates: "Retreat quickly!"

Haslem couldn't defend the ball. As a center, he just grabbed a rebound and ran back from the farthest distance. He was the first to receive the basket. Antoine Walker ran too slowly.

Wade received the serve from Haslem and moved forward, ready to start using the extra advantage he just got!
It's not the kind of deliberate fouling, but to take advantage of the opponent's threat to the referee's star whistle, and dare not be too rough with his defensive actions, so he can give full play to his skills.

However, when Wade advanced to the frontcourt, he found that it was a bit different from what he thought. It was not Iguodala who came to defend him, but Liu Mang.

This... Wade is even more excited!If Liu Mang is taken down, his chances of winning will be even greater!
Liu Mang looked at Wade's eager expression, and sure enough, this guy was going to take advantage of the "preference" given to him by the referee, but there is nothing wrong with it, if Liu Mang himself had that kind of whistle, he would definitely use it every day, but unfortunately in this era, after the opponent has a targeted defense, it is difficult for him to intentionally draw a foul.

Seeing that Wade was beyond the three-point line, Liu Mang immediately pressed up to defend Wade in the same way that McGrady defended Wade.

McGrady has studied Wade for a long time. He is the main defender of Wade. What he researched is the best defense method he can think of to defend Wade. Liu Mang only needs to learn from it.

Wade didn't stop, crushing Liu Mang and breaking through towards the basket.

Liu Mang moved quickly, stuck to Wade, and after getting within the distance of the free throw line, he started to stop Wade from rushing directly towards the basket, trying to push Wade down the line and give Kwame Brown time to shrink back from the left mid-range to defend.

When Liu Mang made a move, the referee had his whistle in his mouth, but seeing that it was Liu Mang, the referee hesitated...

When Wade was blocked by Liu Mang, he was ready to throw the ball to the basket when he heard the whistle, to see if he could make a 2+1, but this time the referee didn't call!

Wade broke into the three-second zone!

At this time, Kwame Brown had retracted, and Liu Mang and the two covered Wade's shooting space and passing angle. Only the rule stipulated that the movement route of the bottom line under the basket must be reserved, but in that space, Wade had no place to dribble. Wade could only grab the ball and take two steps with his back to the basket and throw the ball.

Wade made a throw from the right side of the reasonable collision zone to the left side of the reasonable collision zone, and then threw the ball back to the right side of the reasonable collision zone, throwing a bridge!

Liu Mang grabs the defensive rebound!
Bet won!
The referee dare not blow!
Because he is Liu Mang!

Liu Mang grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Jason Terry immediately. The Heat retreated faster than last time. When Jason Terry received the ball from the center line and ran to the frontcourt, Jason Williams was already in place.

However, Jason Terry ignored everything, rushed beyond the three-point line, faced Jason Williams' defense, and shot a three-pointer...

Jason-I'm excited to play the Heat-Terry's Langby-style chasing three-pointer!

17 to 10!After the Eagles encountered a strange call, not only was their momentum not suppressed, but their momentum became even stronger!Played a 5 to 0 and opened the point difference to 7 points!
The Heat called a timeout!At 40 minutes and [-] seconds, the game entered an official timeout.

The league wanted Wade to perform like Liu Mang and play a wonderful series with Liu Mang, so they gave Wade a star whistle, but if Liu Mang was blown away, it would run counter to the idea of ​​a more intense game that the league wanted!
The current rule is that the defense above the free throw line cannot use hands to block the opponent's breakthrough, but there is no clear regulation on the distance within the free throw line. The understanding of referees, fans, media, and professionals is to continue the previous rules.

But the confrontation is great. Generally speaking, the first-hand defense has some pushing movements, that is, the action of actively facing the impact.

Liu Mang defended against Wade, which was beyond the referee's expectations. He could only use "normal whistleblowing", or put the whistleblowing scale at the same level, because Wade also defended against Liu Mang in the same way, and Liu Mang defended against Wade like that, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Wade has always had a whistle before, and he got three whistles in more than five minutes. It feels like his body hair has grown to the opponent's bench, but suddenly there is no whistle!Pat Riley originally wanted to take advantage of Wade's advantage so that O'Neal could take a break before replacing O'Neal, but he didn't expect that suddenly Wade would have no whistle, at least when facing Liu Mang.

The momentum was blown out by the Eagles!
After returning from the timeout, neither the Eagles nor the Heat made substitutions.

After Liu Mang knew that he had made the right bet, he continued to defend against Wade, which greatly impacted Pat Riley and Wade's improvised style of play!
Liu Mang defended against Wade with few fouls, but when other players assisted in defending the flanking attack, they fouled when there was physical contact, and the body whistle was fully displayed.

But that's enough. Liu Mang didn't expect the referee to be so tolerant of other people's defense, but as long as the person who is not defending Wade is called foul all the time, other people try to be careful, or simply don't make up the defense.

Because Liu Mang has already thought about it!One-on-one, he doesn't limit Wade much, just a little bit, use offense to deal with Wade!His and Jason Terry's offense is completely worthwhile!

……

Seeing that Wade on the court did not get the huge advantage they had imagined, David Stern and Vice President Stu Jackson in the box were a little sad.

"Boss, what should we do?" Stu Jackson asked cautiously when he saw that things were going differently than they imagined.

"The two best players in 03 still can't play Ace, Ace is too smart." David Stern smiled helplessly.

"Should I inform the referee? Let them not worry so much?" Stu Jackson made an opinion that made David Stern's egg hurt.

David Stern is speechless. Stu Jackson is good at everything, stable and obedient, and his philosophy on the NBA is in the same line as him.

David Stern can only explain: "No, this is the era of Ace, so be it, this will be very intense. We don't want the Eagles to lose, but to make this round of the series more exciting. There is nothing more attractive than the finals matchup between Ace and BIG-Yao, Kobe and McGrady, but the matchup between Kobe and O'Neal is also very interesting. The game is played by the players, not us."

Stu Jackson, who looks honest and has an honest personality, feels very strange. It doesn't seem like David Stern said these words.

David Stern looked at Stu Jackson's incomprehensible appearance. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that the best successor who finally appeared in front of his eyes was a pure businessman, not this old friend who had been with him for more than ten years.
