At the beginning of the second half of the game, Liu Mang's coach suddenly changed his style of play for some unknown reason. But judging from the feeling on the court, Liu Mang also felt that the efficiency of running and playing was not high. The defensive system of the Heat's oil-head coach was very strong.

Finding his own style of play within the established rhythm is Liu Mang's characteristic. Therefore, although coach Kruger gave a tactical play, he did not restrict Liu Mang, who has always been the X-factor.

The Eagles attacked first, Liu Mang advanced, and Eddie Jones, who had always been unhappy with Liu Mang, came up to follow him.

The Heat also sent back Rod Strickland, Eddie Jones, Jim Jackson, Brian Grant, and Mourning.

Unlike the first time they played against each other, Liu Mang was very afraid of sticking to the defense. Now Liu Mang is very stable in controlling the ball. He moves to the three-point line with Eddie Jones, beckoning for a pick-and-roll, and Ratliff pulls out.

Help Liu Mang block Eddie Jones.

The moment Liu Mang cut around the pick-and-roll, he saw Mourning who was blocked from the free throw line and had not fully followed. Liu Mang suddenly had an idea and put the ball into the hands of Ratliff, who turned around after blocking the ball. He went inside with his bare hands.

cut.

This small move was done very quickly. In the blink of an eye, Liu Mang quickly bypassed Mourning when he rushed in. Brian Grant, who was behind Mourning, did not see Liu Mang pass the ball and thought that Mourning did not block Liu Mang. He came up to fight with him.

Mourning double-teamed Liu Mang who didn't have the ball in his hands.

Ratliff was originally going to follow up, but he was a little surprised after receiving the pass, but this kind of flash of inspiration is often contagious on the basketball court. Ratliff saw Liu Mang attracting the opponent's two inside players.

To the right side of the basket, throw the ball directly to the left side of the basket.

Muhammad took off and got the ball in the air and smashed it into the basket with both hands!

What a beautiful shot!

Ratliff actually had this kind of support, which surprised and surprised the fans, and the audience burst into cheers.

However, the eyes of the coaches of the two teams fell on Liu Mang, who was high-fiving Ratliff. It seemed that Ratliff assisted and Muhammad made the alley-oop, but the core of the goal was that Liu Mang discovered Mourning.

After blocking in the mid-range, if Liu Mang holds the ball and cuts inside, it will have the effect of controlling the ball. Mourning, who is blocked in the mid-range, will not be passed so easily. It is very likely that this pick-and-roll will be destroyed due to the switch of defenses.

, the Heat have always been very good at defending pick-and-rolls, and Liu Mang is fast without the ball. He went in and deceived Brian Grant, which is why there is such a big gap on the left side of the basket for the pair of insiders Ratliff and Muhammad.

Opportunities to combine connections.

The Heat's offense is different from the previous slow-moving style of play. They really started to use tactics!

In the last minute before the start of the second half, the Heat players looked at Pat Riley who was frantically drawing a tactical board. They were very surprised. Why did they suddenly arrange offensive tactics?

But it’s more exciting!

It’s been too frustrating to lose this year. Just one game, no, just half a game, as long as we can play well, that’s enough!

Rod Strickland advanced, and the Hawks' defense was still relatively loose, mainly guarding rebounds, because the Heat's offense was so bad and completely disorganized.

However, this time Rod Strickland advanced without wasting time. Taking advantage of the defensive Jason Terry's lack of concentration, Rod Strickland suddenly accelerated and pushed Jason Terry away.

He passed by, took a step inside the free throw line, and threw the ball before Muhammad could react and defend in place!

This was Rod Strickland's most commonly used trick during his peak period with the Wizards. A 17-foot throw, so accurate!

The Cyclone Wizard of the year!

Rod Strickland averaged 14 points and 7 assists per game in the Wizards last season, even though he was 35 years old. However, last year in the offseason, the Wizards introduced Tyronn Lue in order to introduce Jordan.

This young point guard gave up the 35-year-old veteran and sent him to the Heat for almost nothing in return. After coming to the Heat, Rod Strickland had no chance to perform. The Heat had no chance at all.

The idea of ​​​​playing out the strength of these offensively talented veterans.

Today, we finally got the tactical arrangement to let go of the offense, and Rod Strickland almost cried with joy!

Veterans also have dreams!

Perform well, strive to be favored by a championship-level team after this year's contract ends, and realize your dream of a championship!

The Heat suddenly seized the Hawks' opening and scored two points, shocking the Hawks players!

Rod Strickland's reading of the defense and his mastery of the time difference when shooting really shocked the Hawks.

What are the Heat going to do?

This goal gave the Eagles a big warning!

Liu Mang received Muhammad's serve and slowly advanced, and after reaching the front court, he continued to pick and roll with Ratliff.

As if he was worried about Brian Grant's impulsiveness when guarding the basket, Mourning and Brian Grant switched defenses. After Liu Mang picked and rolled, he faced Brian Grant who was actively pushing forward.

The Heat's idea is very good. Although Mourning prefers height at the basket, at 2.08 meters, he has a good wingspan and poor explosive power, but his vertical jump is okay. He has good defensive awareness and good defensive habits.

Much better at guarding the basket than Brian Grant.

but……

After the pick-and-roll, Liu Mang looked at Brian Grant who was rushing over. He glanced at Mourning who was squeezing with Muhammad under the basket. Liu Mang's eyes lit up!

It's now!

Liu Mang smacked the ball towards Brian Grant's crotch, turned around and passed Brian Grant, easily passing through the crotch!

Seeing this sultry action, the fans at the scene directly sprayed out their own mantras and curses.

This is the extraordinary skill Liu Mang saw used by Justice Young in the sixth singles when he played street ball last time. It works well one-on-one and is handsome enough. Liu Mang feels that his ball control is

It's completely possible to do it. I tried it in training and it worked. When I got excited this time, I subconsciously used this trick.

After a big turn, Liu Mang received the ball steadily, left Brian Grant behind, and rushed straight to the inside.

Eddie Jones secretly screamed that something was going to happen when he saw Brian Grant going up. This teammate is good at everything, positive, hard-working, and willing to do hard work, but his consciousness is too poor. If he stays in the middle like Mourning,

Distance inherently brings pressure to oppress the opponent, but if everyone had Mourning's awareness, would Mourning still be the best defensive player in two consecutive games!

After Eddie Jones saw Brian Grant's defensive mistake, he immediately wanted to bypass Ratliff to cover up the defense, and he tried his best to bypass it, but Liu Mang's pick-and-roll master broke 100 after being triggered at level 4.

Eddie Jones couldn't even touch Liu Mang's clothes when he rushed forward to commit a foul!

Mourning was blocking the position with Muhammad. He was thinking about how Brian Grant and Eddie Jones could also block the opponent. First, they would prevent the opponent from playing alley-oops again, and then Mourning would guard the basket by himself.

, and can also provide defensive interference to Liu Mang who bursts in.

However, Mourning, who was stuck in position, just got into position. He turned around and saw that the rookie on the opposite side had already rushed to the free throw line!

And that speed...

Mourning only saw one person have it!

Only Allen Iverson has such speed!

102 speed! Except for Allen Iverson, no NBA player has such explosive speed!

Muhammad saw Liu Mang rushing in, and even more so, he and Mourning fought, trying to block Liu Mang's space to hit the basket!

"Brothers!"

Liu Mang, who rushed in, applauded in his heart and jumped with all his strength!

Mourning roared angrily, pushed Muhammad away, and tried his best to block Liu Mang's shot.

However, it was Muhammad’s assist at the last moment that made Mourning take off late!

Liu Mang stood across Mourning, and before being overturned by Mourning's arm, he smashed the ball into the basket through Mourning!

Mourning became so angry that after Liu Mang dunked in, he slapped Liu Mang on the body and knocked Liu Mang to the ground!

The referee's whistle sounded, the goal was valid, and Mourning committed a defensive foul!

Liu Mang, who was knocked to the ground, didn't give up. He jumped up and shouted at Mo Ning: "You can't stop me, so just show off!"

A rookie who loves to cause trouble, and a famously vicious center. The referee immediately stopped between the two, fearing that they would start a fight.
Chapter completed!
