From today on is the king

Chapter 1219 1218. The pressure is on the side of the Heat (110 please subscribe for monthly ticket)

Variety!

It is always unpredictable how Liu Mang will play in the next game, or even the next ball!
This feeling makes the opponent panic!
Do you really want to say that Anfernee Hardaway is better than Liu Mang in singles?
It is almost impossible, except for the peak periods played by Iverson, Wade, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady. Among the active stars, the peak periods of other perimeter players are unlikely to be better than Liu Mang's peak singles.

Including Anfernee Hardaway, who is now hesitating whether to retire.

But the Heat were prepared to defend against Liu Mang's off-the-ball defense, and prepared to guard against Liu Mang's comprehensive offensive methods, but unexpectedly, Liu Mang played the "McGrady" style of play.

And pass the ball a little faster than McGrady!
Just like Kobe said that he did not deliberately imitate Jordan, although McGrady did not personally say that his style of play imitated Penny, but everyone could see it.

McGrady's skills are very similar to Penny's. He knows everything, is proficient in everything, and is close to the top level. McGrady's scoring ability is better than Anferney Hardaway. There is no doubt about it. The scoring champion with an average of 30+ per game is definitely better than Anferney Hardaway. One of Finney Hardaway's most celebrated abilities.

The cooperation between McGrady and Liu Mang seems to be playing with himself. McGrady has a feeling that if he passes the ball, the ball will be passed to the next teammate according to his own ideas, so that the teammate can easily score.

Although McGrady and Liu Mang cooperated very well in the past, but cooperating with "myself" is always more tacit than cooperating with others. You don't have to think about what others will do next, just think about how you should deal with the ball!
Unlike the previous two times when they came to Miami, they were suppressed in the first quarter and then gradually played better and better. The Eagles played very aggressively from the very beginning of the game this time.

Liu Reck's completely different style of play made it difficult for the Heat to adapt to, while the Eagles have long been used to Liu Reck's changeable style of play, and it is enough to cooperate with Liu Reck to run open. The double "McGrady" combination of Liu Reck and McGrady can always deliver the ball to teammates.

The Hawks vowed to win this game before the game. Everyone was very focused. The start was not good, but it was not bad. The open shots were not bad. In the first quarter, the Eagles scored 28 points in a single quarter under the scoring and passing of Liu Mang and McGrady!
This is the Hawks' highest score in the first quarter since Game [-]!
But on the Heat side, work harder!

O'Neal scored 11 points in the first quarter, which is his personal highest score in the first quarter since six games in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Heat had to fight. If they lost this home game, they would be eliminated. Their goal after losing the first two away games was to drag the series into the tiebreaker. At this time, they dare not relax in the slightest.

Wade scored 10 points in a single quarter by making mid-range or mid-range shots, or causing foul free throws. Wade and O'Neal combined to score 21 points in the first quarter, helping the Heat score 27 points in a single quarter!
This is the first time the Hawks lead the Heat in the first quarter of the other four games except for the first game and the fourth game!
麦迪首节7分3助攻1抢断，刘莽首节12分3板2助攻1盖帽，两人都打出了极为出色的表现。

Leading by 1 point after the first quarter, it is very exciting for the Eagles!
In the last game, Jason Terry played early at the end of the first quarter to lead the score into the second quarter. This time Jason Terry didn't play, but Korver and Josh Smith played in rotation. They both led the away game by 1 point and entered the intermission. The Eagles feel that this game is interesting!
There is a chance to kill the Heat in six games!
……

Break between festivals.

In the first quarter, Pat Riley made several personnel adjustments, but none of them could restrain the duo cooperation between Liu Mang and McGrady.

The main reason is that it is too exaggerated. Liu Mang "opened up" without the ball in a game before, and Pat Riley could understand the sudden explosion in one quarter, but with the second pass and post-up single opening, Pat Riley felt like he was living in a dream.

Jordan is not so exaggerated!Jordan has reached the last three consecutive years, and he is almost 33 years old. Only then did he use post-up singles as a common technique, and he practiced to the point of being a master with ease and proficiency.
Jordan was 24 years old... still suffering from a leg injury...

Pat Riley feels that when Liu Mang retires, he probably will retire the Heat's No. 1 jersey...

Although there are many other factors that affect Pat Riley's judgment in retiring Jordan's No. 23 jersey, Pat Riley definitely respects and admires Jordan. When he thought of comparing a Chinese player with Jordan, he felt that his idea was terrible.

Suppressing the uneasiness in my heart, even if Jordan returns to the top to replace Liu Mang of the Eagles, Pat Riley will have to fight this Eastern Conference Finals. Although O'Neal is still very strong, his state is not as good as the previous year. Who knows if there will be a next year, and next year's lineup of role players may not be at this year's level. This year must fight!

Today even O'Neill was very hard-working, but O'Neill wanted to beat Liu Mang second. He heard Kobe said that no one is afraid of the finals, and he wanted to beat Kobe!

In the first quarter, O'Neal had 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist. He felt like he was dreaming of returning to the top.

Pat Riley and O'Neal discussed it. O'Neal is not going to take a break. He has played for so long in the regular season. Isn't it just for the present, taking advantage of his good condition, just a wave!
O'Neal played the first quarter and continued to play in the second quarter, giving Pat Riley a lot of confidence that he can arrange tactics that are more conducive to Wade's performance.

For the Eagles, coach Kruger began to use his best ability, and made tactical changes based on Liu Mang's style of play in the first quarter. He replaced McGrady, who played the entire first quarter, and replaced Jason Terry...

……

Back from the intermission, the Eagles sent a combination of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning.

The Heat sent a lineup of Payton, Wade, Posey, Antoine Walker, and O'Neal.

The Heat attacked and Wade advanced with the ball.

Wade watched Liu Mang waiting one step inside the opposite three-point line, feeling a lot of pressure!

This kind of pressure stimulated Wade's blood, the pressure gave Wade a feeling of depression, and made his blood boil.

How many years, the first time!
This is the first time to compete with Liu Mang at the same level!
