Chapter 1203 1202. Hot Three Collapses

Wade made 9 free throws in the first quarter!
8投4中，9罚6中，单节拿到14分。

Played well, but the game didn't go as Wade and Pat Riley expected.

When the league gave Wade a body whistle, the biggest advantage of the Heat is not how many free throws Wade has. Wade's free throws are not good. Give him [-] free throws in a game, and he can make [-] or [-] free throws.

The main reason is to make use of the fact that the Eagles dare not press to defend Wade, but the Eagles must flank in advance if they cannot press to defend Wade, so that the Heat can have a lot of open shooting opportunities, and use the body whistle to put Tracy McGrady and Iguodala, two Eagles players who are relatively more effective in defending Wade from the outside, into a foul crisis. McGrady's entry into a foul crisis has a huge impact on the Eagles. The biggest advantage of the body whistle is here.

But Pat Riley and Wade never expected that it would be Liu Mang who defended alone, and the Eagles, after the defenders who helped defend Wade got two fouls, would rather let Wade beat Liu Mang one-on-one instead of flanking him, and let Wade eat Liu Mang raw.

Even if it is a decoration, as long as the footsteps can be followed in place, it will interfere with the offensive players to a certain extent.

What's more, Liu Mang, whose defense is close to the strength of the best defensive team, although he doesn't give as much physical contact as McGrady and Iguodala, and can't lock Wade in the middle distance like Prince, but Liu Mang is more balanced, and can give some interference in the middle distance and the basket.

The point is Liu Mang's single defense. The rest of the Eagles don't attack. Even Wade entered the basket and singled out Liu Mang one-on-one. The others did not attack. Wade made 5 of 3 shots in the second half of the quarter and scored 14 points in a single quarter.
The main purpose of Liu Mang and Prince defending Wade alone is here!

Wade can play against Liu Mang one-on-one to his heart's content, and Liu Mang can only slightly restrict Wade at his peak, but this is enough, at least he won't be called fouls all the time, and there won't be a situation where McGrady or Iguodala touches Wade just a little closer, and Wade will be called fouls and unable to contribute. This is enough.

And Wade scored 14 points in a single quarter, and Liu Mang scored 10 points in the first half of the quarter!

With the body whistle, Wade scored 14 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, while Liu Mang scored 16 points in the first quarter!
After the first quarter, Wade, who got the body whistle, failed to help the Heat turn the situation around. Instead, he deliberately wanted to use this advantage to replace O'Neal. The team's offense in the first quarter did not play very well.

Wade has a very high hit rate in singles against Liu Mang, but there are also situations where he is forced by Liu Mang to have no good shots. In this case, Wade can only pass to the outside line.

In addition, O'Neal was replaced, the Heat's inside defense plummeted, and their rebound protection was relatively poor. Haslem's rushing ability was very strong, but his ability to help his teammates grab rebounds was much worse.

The Heat only scored 22 points in the first quarter, while the Eagles scored 33 points!
The Eagles led by 11 points in a single quarter!
Wade and Pat Riley were a little excited at the beginning of the decent show. They didn't expect that they just took advantage of this, but they were used by the other party.

O'Neal was replaced in advance, not by Mark Jackson, a defensive center, but by Haslem who opened up the space. The Heat voluntarily gave up their iron-blooded defense, and the Eagles scored 21 points in more than six minutes after Tracy McGrady's technical foul!
This is the Heat's own strategic error. Without O'Neal or Mark Jackson guarding the basket, the Heat's interior is like a playground, allowing Liu Mang, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown to abuse wantonly.

……

With the method of limiting the effect of the body whistle, the Eagles took an 11-point lead at the start!

The Eagles are starting to get more solid.

In the second quarter, on the Heat's side, Pat Riley saw the situation in the second half of the first quarter, and knew that he couldn't fully use Wade's body and whistle characteristics, and arranged for a peripheral circle of pitchers.

For the Eagles, the strategy has been determined, let Liu Mang or Prince take turns to defend Wade alone, never flank, and would rather give Wade a chance to score high.

McGrady calmed down after receiving psychological counseling from Rasheed Wallace. As one of Jordan's successors, among the six major Jordan successors, he and Carter did not have the so-called star whistle. Liu Mang, Iverson, Kobe, and James all had them.

In the second quarter, the Eagles sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Korver, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning to the lineup.

The Heat sent a lineup of Payton, Wade, Derek Anderson, Haslem, and O'Neal.

Liu Mang looked at the Heat's rotation, and it was amazing. Derek Anderson took over the 900 million premium contract, just to strengthen the lineup and hit the championship while O'Neal was still at his peak.

After the start of the second quarter, the Heat took the lead.

Wade advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Seeing Liu Mang's defense, he had to rest for a while. Liu Mang had a high success rate in singles, but he was tired!

Liu Mang is like a perpetual motion machine, as if he never knows how to get tired. After the defensive end defends with all his might, the offensive end can still fly.

And it was Wade who guarded against Liu Mang!

Payton fell to the low post, stuck McGrady for the ball, and Wade lobbed the ball to Payton.

In the second round, Payton played Kidd and Carter in the low post. The shooting rate in low post singles was as high as 50.00%.

Turning around, the opponent blocked it with half a step, and the opponent ignored the fake move. Payton picked up the ball, and McGrady raised his arms to interfere, and he didn't jump!

Not to mention, Liu Mang may not be able to guard Payton's low post, but McGrady can. He has a great height advantage, just like Richard Jefferson, who can cover Payton's low post singles without jumping.

Payton twisted low for a long time. Seeing that the five-second violation was about to occur, he could only throw the ball towards the basket. Fortunately, there was O'Neal under the basket. O'Neal squeezed Mourning hard and hit the ball in the air.

Mourning didn't guard against it, gritted his teeth and said nothing, picked up the ball and sent it to Liu Mang.

The role of Mourning, or the role of the Eagles center, is to consume O'Neal's physical fitness. When O'Neal's physical fitness declines, Wade can't use his body whistle to create opportunities for his teammates, and their advantage will be great!

When the Eagles attacked, after halftime, Liu Mang met Payton's defense, and Liu Mang gave the ball to McGrady, who was defended by Wade!
After calming down, McGrady is mainly responsible for defending the two point guards Payton or Jason Williams, and the effect is very good. When defending other people, McGrady is not targeted by the referee.

On the offensive end, whoever Wade guards against, Liu Mang and McGrady will play singles!
Wade's way of being a father and a mother, even if he is only 24 years old, he can't handle it at a young age!

After coach Kruger discovered this, he allowed Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Jason Terry to keep the three eagles on the court at any time, providing super singles firepower, and facing the Heat when O'Neal was in good physical condition.

When O'Neal got tired from playing and Wade started playing, he continued to smash.

Focus on consuming Wade and O'Neal!
With a ten-point lead, the Eagles have enough opportunities to grind!
……

When the Eagles took advantage of the Heat's desire to play carefully in the first quarter and used the body whistle to make a fuss about counterattacking the Heat, the Eagles took the initiative.

This kind of advantage is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, the Heat fell into a passive position, they restarted the iron-blooded play, and the Eagles followed suit.

It is true that the Heat can send two lineups that can make the playoffs in the East, but the depth of the Eagles' lineup is even better!
After halftime, the Eagles led 59 to 50 by 9 points. The Heat relied on O'Neal's 13 points in the second quarter and Wade's 10 points in the second quarter. They had a small advantage in the second quarter and scored 28 to 26 in a single quarter.

But the Heat reached the third quarter, and the continuity was not so strong. O'Neal withered, leaving only Wade, who scored 11 points in a single quarter in the third quarter.

As for the Eagles, the Mihawks played in turns, maintaining an efficient level.

Especially in the third quarter, Wade's physical fitness declined significantly, and his defensive efficiency dropped. An angry McGrady scored 15 points in the third quarter, helping the Eagles to score 29-22 in the third quarter.

After three quarters, the Eagles were 88 to 72, and the point difference widened to 16 points!
If the Heat didn't want to use the referee's help in the first quarter and use the rules to deal with the Eagles, Liu Mang couldn't think of a good way to deal with the Heat. After all, the Heat are getting better and better, and they are in their best form. Liu Mang was ready to fight at the beginning. The current state of the two teams looks similar.

But they wanted to take advantage of the rules, so they gave Liu Mang a chance to fight back!It gave the Eagles a chance to establish an advantage in the first quarter.

The Heat have the strength to compete with the Eagles slowly, so that they will not be drawn to a 10-point gap, but they made a wrong choice, which made them enter the quagmire of chasing points from the second half of the first quarter!
Chasing points has been unable to narrow the point difference to less than 5 points, and trying not to let the point difference widen to more than 5 points, the psychological difference is very big!

The Heat were crushed in the third quarter!
