Liu Mang's pass through the crotch caused a burst of exclamations from the scene, but Liu Mang had a difficult time after entering the three-point line! Strickland immediately changed positions to make up for it, and Eddie Jones, who was crotched, also

After catching up, the three frontcourt players were blocked from receiving the ball. Liu Mang was forced to stop the ball, leaving only Jacqui Vaughn at a 45-degree angle.

Seeing that the two of them were about to steal, and there was little chance of a foul being caused by being caught between them, Liu Mang passed the ball out in pain. However, he soon regretted the pass, and he might as well have forced the ball himself!

Jacqui Vaughn was completely free and actually made a three-pointer! The shot went directly to Brian Grant! Liu Mang immediately ran back from Eddie Jones and Strickland to his own half to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

However, Liu Mang was overly concerned. After receiving the ball, Strickland slowly pushed forward, pushing past the half-time mark and pressing the 8-second violation time limit.

Liu Mang never thought that defense would become such a pain in the ass. He used to think that defense meant either preventing the opponent from making a shot, or being scored by the opponent. He never thought that even if the opponent couldn't make a shot, it would be a problem.

It hurts so much.

When playing against the 76ers, the 76ers' defense was good, but the pace was not slow. It was just that the 76ers were able to prevent the opponent's shooting percentage from being extremely low, and then defeated the opponent with their rich experience in low shooting percentages.

The Heat are different. They just press the tempo and grind the opponent to death, especially since they started to fail this year. Let’s not talk about whether they win or not. They don’t care about the offensive rhythm of their own players. They just make the opponent unhappy and they can take it happily.

High draft pick.

Liu Mang was very sad. The Heat are so good. How will they defeat the Spurs in the future? Larry Brown will go to the Pistons in two years. How will they play at the lowest pace in history?

The Heat missed another shot with nearly 24 seconds running out. This time the hero Mourning rose up to make up the ball.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the front court. After coming over, he found that Eddie Jones was very different. Before, he was just entertaining and wanted to abuse him, but now he was completely irritated by Liu Mang's words, "You are not Kobe."

, and used all his energy to defend Liu Mang.

The 30-year-old Eddie Jones is still at the end of his prime, and his defense is terrifying. Moreover, he does not have to take care of offense like Payton. He only needs to shoot at the last moment on the offensive end of this team. The main thing is defense.

Liu Mang had no chance to shoot from the outside. He drew a foul but the opponent didn't get close to him, so he couldn't break through.

Liu Mang called a pick-and-roll, Ratliff came out to block Eddie Jones, and Liu Mang took the opportunity to cut in.

Entering the three-second zone, Liu Mang was at a loss. Mourning stood on the edge of the three-second zone with his big white teeth bared. He didn't come out to guard. He just blocked Liu Mang there and prevented Liu Mang from entering the basket. He acted like he wanted to make a mid-range shot.

In the posture, after the pick-and-roll, Ratliff was passed forward by Eddie Jones, who was on guard.

Seeing that Strickland seemed to be coming over to form a zone attack with Mourning, Liu Mang thought about what happened when he passed the ball to Jacqui Vaughn last time, and decided to wait for the opponent's defense to open up and go directly to the mid-range.

Voted!

It was probably because of the distance between the free throw line and Liu Mang's shooting was pretty good. He bounced on the basket and made it!

The pot is on!

10 to 9, the Eagles lead by 1 point.

Nearly 10 minutes have passed. The Eagles have scored 10 points and the Heat have scored 9 points. The total is only 19 points!

Next, it was a difficult time for Liu Mang, the Hawks, and the fans at the scene, which made people want to doze off. The Heat maintained a high-efficiency defense until the end of the first quarter, and the Hawks beat 14

11 leading by 3 points entering the inter-section break.

Playing for 5 minutes in the first quarter, Liu Mang scored 4 points on 2 of 5 shots, all from mid-range, with no chance from beyond the three-point line!

Fortunately, Mourning didn't catch up because he was afraid of Liu Mang's speed. Liu Mang could cut through the pick-and-roll every time and then stop in the mid-range position, waiting for Ratliff to take Eddie Jones away and then take an easy shot.

…

During the break, Coach Kruger is very worried. This is a very unsolvable problem in the current NBA. Whether it is the Spurs or the Heat, teams with such a desperate slow pace are very difficult to deal with. The Spurs are actually relatively okay.

, they have the inside combination of Duncan and Admiral, who are very athletic, and they can also play defensive counterattacks. The Heat are completely tormenting their opponents.

Because of this, almost all teams in the Eastern Conference that are likely to make the top four will fight against the Heat to prevent them from getting close to the playoffs. Otherwise, anyone who encounters them in the playoffs will lose their skin.

There is really no way to deal with this kind of team. There are not many three-pointers these days. Many teams don’t even have players who are good at three-pointers. Faced with defending the basket, there are Eddie Jones and Strickland on the outside.

The Heat's defensive champion can lock down the three-point shooter on his own, which is really hopeless.

Just when Coach Kruger was distressed, he saw Liu Mang approaching him, wanting to speak but seemingly not daring to speak.

"Ace, what's wrong?" Coach Kruger asked angrily.

I asked you to go up and draw a foul, but you missed the shot. Fortunately, you made two, otherwise you would have been completely killed by the Heat.

When Liu Mang saw the Heat's iron barrel formation, he always had an idea, but he felt that if he spoke out, he might be beaten to death by the coach with a big forehead, but he still wanted to speak out.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Mang said mischievously: "Coach, I have a way to increase the speed!"

"Huh?!" Coach Kruger was having a headache about this matter. Although he felt that Liu Mang was becoming more and more unreliable, he seemed to be getting more and more clever, so he quickly asked: "What can I do?"

Liu Mang did not answer immediately, but called Jason Terry, who was extremely depressed today.

"What are you doing? Rookie!" Jason Terry looked impatient, but he still came over.

Liu Mang did not get angry with Jason Terry. The more familiar he is with this guy, the easier it is to understand his character. Even if he doesn't like him, he won't really have a conflict.

Coach Kruger was very curious, so the three of them got together.

"Coach, Jason, we are like this, like this..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Mang talked about his thoughts in quite detail. Jason Terry’s eyes widened after hearing this. His face was black and his eyes were all white.

I'm excited, but also worried. This rookie is so daring to think about it!

After hearing this, Coach Kruger really wanted to beat this disciple to death. Damn, is this a player from our Georgia Tech... It seems that all the players from our Georgia Tech are like this, what about Stephon Marbury, Mark

- Spry and Kenny Anderson are not peaceful masters.

However, there seems to be no other way! This seems very sloppy, but if the opponent is the Heat...

"Coach, do it or not!" Liu Mang looked like a man with horns on his head and a tail behind him. No one knew... No, he was just a little devil tempting others to do bad things.

Coach Kruger gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! You two come on! If we lose this game, you will practice 2,000 extra shots for me when we get to Detroit in the next two days!"

Ah, hey! Coach, did you really agree? Do you agree to such a wasteful strategy for this rookie? Also, what does it have to do with me to practice more? I didn’t propose it!

Jason Terry is very sad, but very excited!

…

After returning from the inter-section break, the second quarter begins.

The Heat are very good, none of the top five players are missing, and they continue to play.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Ira Nubel, and Muhammad.

Fans were a little confused when they saw these five players on the field without sending out a serious center. No matter how much he degrades, Mourning is still a 2.1 meter big man with excellent skills! Can he be defended without sending out a tall center?

Before giving the fans time to think about the reason, the fans were dumbfounded when they saw the Eagles' defensive position.

The four of Jason Terry, Raheem, Nubel, and Muhammad trapped Mourning and Brian Grant inside and outside the three-second zone.
Chapter completed!
