Chapter 1128
The referee is on the alert today, concentrating all his attention to avoid accidents. He came to the center circle and signaled the players near the center line of the two teams not to move too much. He blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air.
The two center forwards bounced up quickly!
O'Neal is really talented. He will be 34 next month. After two years of continuous weight loss, he is still able to jump better than most centers in the league.
However, Kwame Brown can dance better!In the case of a short finger, he was the first to touch the ball and shoot the ball behind.
Liu Mang receives the ball and the Eagles go first!
The Heat's perimeter defense is probably second only to the Eagles in the East. Posey and Wade's perimeter defense at the two best defensive team levels is very powerful.
In terms of the league's starting perimeter defensive efficiency this season, the Heat's ranking is actually higher than the Eagles' ranking!
The Heat's perimeter defense ranks third in the league, and the Hawks rank seventh.
Defensive efficiency doesn’t mean that the Eagles’ starting three perimeter players are all defensive masters. It’s better, because most teams only have one All-Star player on the perimeter.
The Eagles often play garbage time, and the pace is fast. They are often pure substitutes in the fourth quarter, and their defensive efficiency drops all of a sudden. It would be nice to be seventh in the league.
Moreover, just like in today's game, Wade and Posey, against Liu Mang and McGrady, just happened to be in the top position, and Jason Williams was completely sufficient to defend Prince.
It's not without reason that the Eagles are hated by other teams, it's too extravagant.
After Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, he encountered Wade's defense and handed the ball to McGrady first.
Liu Mang did not carry out the first attack by himself!
Liu Mang could tell when he arrived in the frontcourt that the Heat wanted to defend like the Spurs. After Liu Mang advanced past half court, Wade pressed his body like Sprewell did, forcing Liu Mang to attack with the ball in an uncomfortable position. Liu Mang decisively chose to let McGrady hold the ball.
After McGrady received the ball, Posey didn't dare to stick too tightly.
McGrady looked at Posey's excellent small steps. He is 98 meters tall and weighs [-] kg. He needs speed, speed, strength and power as a defensive champion. McGrady should not be in a good mood against this kind of opponent. He has met a worthy defensive master!
The top looper of the Atlanta Swing Team used one of the two iconic moves of the Eagles' two first perimeter starters. The swing created space, and he grabbed the ball with one hand and swung it around. Posey was not close enough to stick to it. He leaned back and retracted his arms to avoid being fouled.
McGrady just turned the ball around, and when he took it off the top of his head, he quickly shot it to the front right, and made a big stride!
Percy backed away quickly, but couldn't keep up!
McGrady's first three steps are too fast!
Fortunately, Haslem has been blocked by the bottom line.
McGrady passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace in the right corner while moving, and Posey rushed towards Rasheed Wallace quickly.
Rasheed - Wallace received the ball, waving a shot, Posey flew towards the bottom corner, Rasheed - Wallace took the ball back, the breakthrough of the baseline!
Although Rasheed Wallace doesn't have much offensive power with the ball, if such a big man really rushes in, O'Neal can only foul, and Haslem immediately goes to block it back.
Rasheed Wallace passes the ball to the middle distance at this time!
Just now after McGrady passed the ball, he ran to the top arc and helped Liu Mang block Wade. When Liu Mang's two teammates held back the defense, Liu Mang took advantage of McGrady's pick-and-roll to receive the ball, and made a one-step throw from inside the free throw line!
O'Neal and Kwame Brown fought hand-to-hand at the basket. If Liu Mang was defended against Liu Mang, the Eagles' tactics would open up the space so wide, and Liu Mang's hanging inside could not be prevented. O'Neal could only hope that Liu Mang's throw would fail.
However, O'Neal's expectations fell through, and Liu Mang scored with a close-range throw from the free throw line.
Liu Mang shot very comfortably. He felt great in the first round, playing complex tactics so smoothly.
In Pat Riley's iron-blooded field, the Heat's defense is very disciplined, and simple tactics are not easy to use. After all, Josh Smith and Iguodala are still young. When Liu Mang cooperated with them, they all played relatively simple and rough tactics. With Rasheed Wallace, the tactics are a bit more complicated. Rasheed Wallace will not make too many mistakes, and the cooperation is very good.
After scoring the goal, Liu Mang retreated quickly.
Liu Mang waited for Jason Williams to advance. After Jason Williams received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, he saw that Liu Mang was defending, immediately handed the ball to Wade, and then ran towards the corner.
Liu Mang was a little regretful when he saw that Jason Williams stopped holding the ball to organize offenses when he met him, and he still missed the man he was when he first met Jason Williams.
Liu Mang followed Jason Williams to the bottom corner, McGrady waited for Wade to come over, took a big step back inside the three-point line, and single-handedly defended Wade.
Liu Mang tried to provoke O'Neal's little trick today, but it failed. O'Neal didn't start the game and immediately asked for the ball in singles. Liu Mang's trick didn't work. Originally, Liu Mang expected that after stimulating O'Neal, O'Neal would angrily want to beat Kwame Brown's singles all the time. He wanted to use this to consume O'Neal, but O'Neal chose to "revenge" Kwame Brown before the game.
Liu Mang wasn't disappointed either, he didn't expect too much from this, he just took advantage of it by the way, if it doesn't work, it won't work.
Wade received the ball beyond the three-point line. Seeing such a big gap, he still refused to shoot and chose to break through!
Even at a distance of one meter, Wade's explosive speed surprised McGrady!
The strongest first step in the alliance!
McDiming knew that Wade was going to break through from the right, and he was ready for a quick lateral move, but he still couldn't keep up!The Flash was like a bolt of lightning. He rushed up with the first step and was parallel to the backboard with McGrady. McGrady wanted to use his body to press Wade, but he couldn't hold it back. Wade squeezed away and rushed to the free throw line!
At this time, Rasheed Wallace quickly defended and blocked Wade. Wade withdrew the ball to Haslem, who was in the middle distance from the baseline on the right. Haslem received the ball and made a mid-range shot...
No entry!
but!
Under the basket, O'Neal used his big belly against Kwame Brown, hit the ball in the air, and pointed the ball to the basket, but still missed. O'Neal jumped again against Kwame Brown, grabbed the ball, and smashed the ball into the frame with both hands hanging on the frame!
Sharks are still fierce!
Even the 34-year-old O'Neal is still the league's No. [-] center, fat, strong and flexible!
Liu Mang ran to the edge of the three-second zone and didn't dare to reach out. O'Neill's posture was too fierce!
Liu Mang compared the situation when he played Yao Ming before, and understood why O'Neal's performance this season was not as good as Yao Ming, but he was still regarded as the number one center forward.
What restricts O'Neal is physical fitness and the way the coach uses it. With O'Neal's body and offensive methods, Yao Ming's offensive end does not have the kind of deterrence that destroys the basket.
If it was Yao Ming, even if he grabbed an offensive rebound, he would probably put it directly, and he would not do such a "redundant" thing like O'Neal.
But in the game, this kind of "redundant" thing is needed from the perspective of efficiency and saving energy. O'Neal dunked two consecutive offensive rebounds, which suddenly cooled the frenzied atmosphere on the scene.
O'Neal celebrated by butt-butting Wade with his huge ass as he stepped back.
Liu Mang watched Wade being bounced off by O'Neal, really worried that Wade was injured by O'Neal.
Liu Mang thought it might be O'Neal who had eight years to grab offensive rebounds, and he took the initiative to help himself with a rebound.
The Heat also played very organized and motivated!
At the beginning of the game, both teams played their own characteristics.
Liu Mang received the serve from Kwame Brown, who was unwilling to admit defeat, and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt. After halftime, he was not too surprised to see Kwame Brown continue to fight with O'Neal to consume the opponent.
No one could guard O'Neal before the 06-07 season. Even in the finals of the 94-95 season, Olajuwon only had a blast with O'Neal. The Magic didn't lose much in every game.
Of course, this is the gap in strength.
From the perspective of defending O'Neal, before the avalanche of O'Neal's strength in the 06-07 season, no one can defend him, so all he can do is consume!
However, after Liu Mang advanced halftime this time, he saw Wade stepping on the three-point line to defend, so Wade didn't go up to the halfcourt to press.
In terms of perimeter defense alone, the Heat are worse than the Spurs, but the overall defense is not as good as the Heat. I imitated the Spurs' defense just now, and the Eagles scored easily with the overall cooperation. The Heat immediately returned to normal defense this time.
Wade watched Liu Mang slowly approaching the top arc. His leg muscles were ready to exert force and quickly move laterally. Unlike Liu Mang who can only rely on skills on the offensive end to have such a burst speed, Wade has such a burst speed due to his own physical fitness, and both offense and defense can have the same effect.
Wade waited for Liu Mang to break through, and suddenly, Wade saw a mocking smile on Liu Mang's mouth!
not good!
Wade immediately raised his center of gravity and jumped forward, but he was prepared to move laterally and back to lower his center of gravity, which made him a beat slower when he jumped forward!
Liu Mang slowly advanced beyond the three-point line. When he was two or three steps away from the three-point line, his speed suddenly became faster.
Extremely ugly and handsome, there is a huge difference in visual effects between stepping back and direct throwing.
Liu Mang's picturesque and standard posture made a dry three-pointer and hit it!
