Chapter 1021 1020. The key free throw
The two teams froze in the second half of the third quarter, and neither side took any advantage. Relying on Liu Wei's 14 points in a single quarter, they finally clenched the score.
The fourth quarter came to the real decisive moment.
For the Hawks, Coach Kruger continued to send Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Tracy McGrady together. After three quarters, Tracy McGrady had the best defense against Wade, while Iguodala was better against it, but lacked experience.
The inside combination of Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown is on the field, and keeping the inside is the focus.
For the Heat, Pat Riley sent Payton because of Payton's good performance today and Jason Williams' poor performance when he met Liu Mang. Wade, like Liu Mang, played the first three quarters and continued to play.
In the frontcourt, the lineup of Posey, Haslem, and O'Neal came up.
The Eagles attacked first, and Liu Mang sent the ball to Jason Terry, and they moved forward together.
The Heat sent the three best defensive perimeters, which are comparable to the Eagles' starting perimeter trio, and the defense is very strong.
Jason Terry passed halftime and passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang received the ball and Wade defended him.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, a tone should be set, the tone of victory!
So it doesn't matter who the two best defenders are Wade and Posey, don't care about Payton's worst defense, and give the ball to the best player.
Facing Wade's defense, Liu Mang didn't dribble the ball in a hurry. He held the ball with one hand and faced Wade sideways, stretching the ball to the back to avoid being intercepted by Wade.
Wade looked at Liu Mang's action, his hands are long and his hands are big!
But Wade really had no choice but to step on the three-point line and dare not back down.
Liu Mang tapped his right foot forward, but Wade was not fooled, and kept his position firmly.
So, Liu Mang followed the protruding foot and accelerated his breakthrough!
Really sudden!It's not a fake action that requires three points!Wade quickly backed up, and explosively bounced towards the rear diagonally to the left, blocking Liu Mang's path.
but……
Liu Mang stepped into the three-point line with his right foot, raised his left foot, and stepped back.
The final choice is still three points!
Payton was so anxious that he let go of Jason Terry and rushed over. Wade was good at defending against breakthroughs and strong in oppressive defense, but his defense against a player like Liu Mang who can both rush and shoot was mediocre. Payton felt that Wade was blind to his physical fitness.
The best defensive players like Payton and Jordan, look at whose defense they feel are useless...
However, it was too late for Payton to rush over. Liu Mang retracted his left foot beyond the three-point line, quickly retracted his right foot, grabbed the ball and threw it out!
With the perfect shot timing, Liu Mang's three-point shot hit!
Liu Mang made a three-pointer, Jason Terry and McGrady excitedly rushed up to high-five Liu Mang, and then retreated together.
79 to 78, as soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Eagles hit a three-pointer to overtake the score!
Wade stomped his foot in frustration, taking it for granted, this is the league's first three-pointer with an average of 3.5 three-pointers in the first four games after the start of the new season!He just took it for granted just now, thinking that Liu Mang would break through, thinking that if Liu Mang made such a move, he would definitely speed up and rush like him, and he thought Liu Mang was just like him.
The main reason is that Liu Mang can use the same first step as Wade, so that Wade can substitute Liu Mang's play style when he has a half-step position.
As for Liu Mang not being able to accelerate like him without a certain distance, Wade obviously couldn't understand this.
When it came time for the Heat to attack, Wade advanced beyond the three-point line. Seeing McGrady take such a big step back in defense, his head was a little convulsed, and he pulled up a three-point shot!
Sometimes a convulsion in the head is not a bad thing, blind people can still see ghosts, Wade couldn't control the convulsion this time, he played it right, the three-point shot from the top arc hit the backboard and bounced into the basket!
Liu Mang's ball just now set the tone for the Hawks to reverse at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Wade also set the tone for them to hold the advantage!
Moreover, Wade used his worst move, three-pointers!
Things like dribbling make a player feel like he's on the move!
Wade is like this. Today he has made a lot of magic shots. When he made this three-pointer, he regretted it, but the goal was scored!This feeling made Wade feel that God is helping him!
Wade, who was just thrown away by Liu Mang and lost a three-pointer, is now full of confidence!
When the Eagles attacked, Jason Terry advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang continued to face Wade on the right side of the top arc with a single-handed ball.
Wade was taught a lesson by Payton, and now he mainly guards against Liu Mang's three-pointer. Even if Liu Mang stepped forward, Wade would still tightly block Liu Mang's three-pointer.
Liu Reck took advantage of the trend and broke into the inside. Wade missed the best defensive position and was passed by Liu Reck.
After entering the distance of the free throw line, O'Neal defended and waved his arms to block Liu Mang's pass to Kwame Brown.
O'Neal is so big, Liu Mang feels like half of the three-second zone is taken up, he can pass the ball, but O'Neal is beyond the reasonable collision zone, Liu Mang sticks up to O'Neal, avoids O'Neal's arm, and casually throws the ball towards the basket.
Resolutely did not enter, directly three non-stick!
However, this is much safer than passing the ball!
Because there is Kwame Brown under the basket!
Kwame Brown grabs the ball and dunks with both hands!
81 flats!
The scores of the two teams continue to bite!
When it came time for the Heat to attack, Wade made a magical three-pointer. Now his confidence has grown, his mind has become calmer, and he has entered a special state. In this state, he feels that he is omnipotent, and consciously avoids his shortcomings. He breaks through more decisively and passes the ball more decisively.
O'Neal, Haslem, Posey, and Payton actively cooperated with the breakthrough Wade. Although the Heat did not send the best offensive lineup, after the start of the fourth quarter, they miraculously continued their offensive firepower in the third quarter!
Wade's mid-range shot, Payton's short-range throw, O'Neal's basket, and Haslem's and Posey's long-range shots all magically continued!
For the Eagles, I thought that Liu Mang's three-pointer was going to be reversed. Who knew that the Heat played so strongly!
The Eagles started chasing points again.
In the 3rd minute of the fourth quarter, the Heat opened up the point difference to 5 points. Liu Mang received the ball one meter away from the three-point line after reaching the frontcourt. Seeing Wade stepping on the three-point line to defend, Liu Mang thought about it, and directly shot a super long three-pointer...
hit!
The second three-pointer scored in the fourth quarter was also the sixth three-pointer in the game!
The key is that this is Liu Mang's second three-point shot in the fourth quarter, and he made two three-pointers in the fourth quarter!
Liu Mang's three-point shooting percentage has reached 50.00%! 12 out of 6!
The point difference returned to two points again, the two teams continued to be anxious, the defensive end was very hard, and the offensive end tried their best to score.
Before the official timeout, Wade made another long two-pointer, and all of the fadeaway jumpers facing McGrady's defense were scored, and the point difference was stretched to 4 points.
But immediately after, Tracy McGrady and Liu Mang pick and roll, and after receiving a pass from Liu Mang, Wade returned a two-point mid-range shot against Wade who switched defenses.
92 to 94, the point difference continued to return to two points!
The Heat called a timeout!
……
After the official timeout, the score continued to bite, and there was not much change. The status of the two teams was up. Every time the Heat played a small climax, and when they were about to widen the point difference, Liu Mang, McGrady, or Jason Terry would respond and bite the score.
The fans watched lively, the game scene was too hot, both teams played a very good offensive and defensive level in the fourth quarter, and the goals all depended on the superstars!
The anxious situation continued until the last minute, and the Heat still led by 1 points.
The Eagles called a timeout. After returning, Liu Mang took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Jason Terry asked for the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang passed the ball to Jason Terry.
After Jason Terry made a pass, he made a three-pointer against Payton's defense...
Jason Terry missed a three-pointer at the critical moment!
With 39 seconds left, the Heat called a timeout!
Pat Riley wants to arrange a safe tactic, stretch the score to more than 3 points, and seal the victory of the game, at least more than [-] points, otherwise the opponent has a chance to tie!
Jason Terry missed a key three-pointer and was so angry that he kept hitting his head with his fist.
Liu Mang hurried up and put his arms around Jason Terry's shoulders to stop this self-mutilation.
Self-mutilation is not scary, self-mutilation makes oneself brain-dead, it is terrible, Liu Mang originally thought that Jason Terry was easy to get on.
Liu Mang would choose a three-point single if the ball was exchanged, but he didn't make a shot. Jason Terry is good at that kind of play, and there is no problem in handling it.
Mike Woodson draws with a tactical board, and defense at critical moments is very important.
Jason Terry was replaced, and his role on the defensive end was indeed too small. Liu Mang, McGrady, and Prince were replaced, and Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown on the inside continued to defend the basket.
Liu Mang has scored 48 points, the Hawks have scored 104 points, and the Heat have scored 107 points. Wade also scored 40 points after making a floater.
……
After the timeout, the Heat did not choose to serve in the frontcourt, but chose to serve in the backcourt, trying to consume time as much as possible.
Liu Mang and McGrady, two activists, went up to press the ball. Wade and Payton passed the ball continuously. They almost made no mistakes in Liu Mang's and McGrady's full-court press defense. They protected the ball and advanced through the half court.
Liu Mang and McGrady returned to the defensive position, McGrady continued to single-handedly defend Wade, Liu Mang let go of Payton, and prepared to flank.
Time-consuming, Wade dribbling the ball outside the three-point line was time-consuming.
The Eagles are not in a hurry to steal. After the Heat finish this offensive time, the Eagles still have more than ten seconds of offensive time. The main thing is to defend and defend the rebound.
The Heat's positioning is very selective. Payton is short on the right side of the three-second zone, Posey is in the left corner, Haslem is in the middle of the baseline, and O'Neal is at the basket.
With 6 seconds left, Wade moved and accelerated to the left!
Wade deliberately avoided Liu Wei's half court, avoiding Liu Wei's help defense, and broke through from the left!
McGrady really couldn't prevent the Flash's breakthrough, but McGrady didn't give up, chasing Wade from behind, trying to interfere with Wade's shooting.
After Wade broke into the three-second zone, he jumped to the right and made a throw!
Liu Mang jumped up and slapped Wade's arm. There was no way, the ball could only be fouled. Rasheed Wallace didn't shrink well, and Kwame Brown was blocked by O'Neal.
There is a feeling that the tide is over...
Liu Mang shook his hand, stood on the right side of the three-second zone, watched Wade and his teammates cheer and walked to the free throw line.
The Eagles were discouraged, and it was too uncomfortable. They chased the whole game, missed a three-pointer at a critical moment, and were fouled by Wade. Nothing.
Just as the Eagles were desperate and the pent-up air was vented, Wade missed the first free throw.
Liu Mang didn't hold back that slap, Wade's arm was slapped black and red.
Missed the first penalty!
The Eagles' drained energy suddenly began to fill up again.
etc!We can still grab the ball!
Wade missed the first free throw. The fans at the scene were hesitant to shout "MVP". The current fans are not as shameless as the future fans. A star player dares to call MVP. Seeing Wade miss the free throw, the fans let out a low voice of "Oh...".
Wade was also very depressed, and he high-fived his teammates. After receiving the ball thrown by the referee again, he smashed the ball hard.
Seeing that Wade seemed very depressed, the bad water in Liu Mang's stomach was bubbling with renewed hope, he walked up to Wade and said, "Come on, punish me well, I want to go home and have a cold drink, Miami is a bit hot."
"Eat you %￥...&%&..." Wade was about to suppress his frustration, but he was a little annoyed when he heard Liu Mang's nonsensical words.
Wade suppressed his frustration and annoyance, made a good adjustment, and shot another free throw...
Still miss!
Wade missed both free throws at the critical moment!
Kwame Brown grabbed a key defensive rebound toughly amid O'Neal's pushing!
Coach Kruger, who was ready to pack his things on the sidelines, felt hope rekindled when Wade missed his first free throw. He walked to the sidelines and saw Kwame Brown grabbing a defensive rebound. He yelled at the referee: "Timeout! Timeout! Timeout..."
The referee blew the whistle, the Eagles called a timeout, and there were 13 seconds left!
However, after a timeout was called, Coach Kruger was a little dazed. Just now Wade spent half a minute on free throws, but because the opponent led by 3 points and had two free throws, Coach Kruger had given up hope.
Who knew that the opponent actually made two free throws. At this time, coach Kruger was not ready for what tactics to play next!
Not only coach Kruger, offensive assistant Stockton is not ready either!
Fortunately, the last timeout of the two teams in this game was a long timeout. Coach Kruger took the tactical board and thought about it for half the timeout, racking his brains to come up with an offensive tactic. Although he didn’t know if the effect was good or not, the tactic must be fine. The tactics of the college coaches are very good in theory, mainly depends on how well the players play.
For things like confidence, just give yourself a few more hints. Coach Kruger hinted himself a few times, and called the players together with a tactical board, ready to deploy the tactics for the final attack...
Wait, where's the tactical board?
The players had just gathered together. Coach Kruger had nothing in his hands. He saw Liu Mang holding the tactical board and starting to arrange: "Jason, you and Tracy, Rashid, you come here, Kwame-you come with me..."
Seeing Mike Woodson immediately ran to the technical table to submit the list of substitutions after hearing Liu Mang's order, Coach Kruger held his chest: My disciple, I indulged him, it's okay, it doesn't matter...
……
The last timeout of the game came back, and the two teams entered the final attack.
In theory, this is the case. The Eagles will definitely not leave the Heat with an offensive opportunity. After running out of time and scoring, the Eagles have two tasks.
Liu Mang easily received the serve from the Hawks' frontcourt.
The Heat's defense is very clear, the main defense is the three-pointer, of course the two-pointer must be defended, but that's second, they lead by three points, as long as the Hawks don't score a three-pointer, the Heat will win for sure.
Liu Mang held the ball a little past the center line to waste time. With 7 seconds left, Liu Mang dribbled the ball and approached the three-point line. Wade immediately blocked him to guard against Liu Mang's ultra-long three-pointer.
On the inside, Rasheed Wallace opened up space in the bottom corner and was pressed tightly. O'Neal and Kwame Brown actively confronted to prevent the Eagles from missing an offensive rebound from Kwame Brown.
Liu Mang made 13 of 7 three-pointers today, and made all three three-pointers in the fourth quarter. Wade's defense against Liu Mang was tighter in the fourth quarter.
Liu Mang took two steps and was stuck by Wade. At this time, McGrady came up to help Liu Mang block Wade. Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line and pulled up...
Both Percy and Payton rushed towards Liu Mang.
Just when Liu Mang and McGrady were picking and rolling, Jason Terry entered the three-point line. Seeing Jason Terry enter the three-point line, Payton let go of Jason Terry and blocked Liu Mang's three-pointer together with Posey. Here comes the ball!
Two seconds left!
Jason Terry catches the ball, turns around, makes a [-]-pointer...
The ball seemed to have been in the air for a long century. Amidst the boos of most of the fans on the scene, the countdown to the end of the game sounded, and then the ball plunged into the basket!
107 flats!
Three points at the buzzer!
Jason Terry's lore tied the score and dragged the game into overtime!
Jason Terry didn't hit his head this time, he opened his arms and the jets went out!Amidst the boos of most of the fans and the cheers of a small number of fans, they ran all over the field!
The missed three-pointer just now almost caused the Eagles to lose the game, but the more crucial life-saving three-pointer to tie the score, with the trust of Liu Mang and the support of his teammates, Jason Terry made a key three-pointer!
Liu Mang already scored 48 points, but he didn't make the shot himself. He chose to trust Jason Terry, who responded positively!
Huh... [-] words, guaranteed [-] won't be lost today, and there is one more chapter, let's continue writing after dinner.I worked overtime at night until after [-] o'clock, and the things I didn't do when I asked for leave yesterday piled up together. I haven't eaten the meal yet, and the takeaway is cold. Let's heat it up. After eating, I will continue to write. It is agreed that there will be two more changes tonight, and I will sleep when I have more~
