Watching McGrady hit three-pointers again and again, watching Liu Mang dash through the crowd gracefully, taking advantage of his teammates' pick-and-rolls, or taking advantage of his opponent's double-attack mistakes to score or pass the ball...

Wade felt like he was doubting life.

Once again, I was bullied by Liu Mang and McGrady.

Liu Mang also made Wade feel a little dignified. At least he used skills and other techniques, relying on breakthroughs and changes of direction to get the open position before taking action.

McGrady was different. When Eddie Jones took the initiative to guard Liu Mang and Wade guarded McGrady, McGrady made 5 of 5 three-pointers in the first half.

McGrady’s idea is: since we want to play, let’s play together.

I am very happy to accept Liu Mang's idea of ​​​​playing. Just like last season when he faced James and hit eight consecutive three-pointers, McGrady faced Wade today and hit five consecutive three-pointers in the half...

McGrady had 19 points and 4 assists in the half, Liu Mang had 17 points and 3 assists in the half, and Wade was the background guy.

Both of them are much better than Wade now!

Wade's ability evaluation of 89 is considered to be one of the strongest among young players, even better than James, Anthony, Arenas and others at this stage, but he is still just a basket attacker. Facing Liu

Mang and Tracy McGrady took turns bombing, and actively "reported" that they were strong in drawing fouls but had not yet developed a mid-range shot. The defensive end was also restricted by the opponent and could not effectively counterattack!

When O'Neal looked at Wade, he felt like he was playing basketball with Kobe Bryant, who was in the third and fourth grade. He could only wipe Wade's butt after beating him, and began to play non-stop individual singles.

Kwame Brown began the process of enjoying being abused again. Every time he asked O'Neal to put in more effort, he became more motivated.

In O'Neal's view, Wade is similar to Kobe Bryant, who just turned 20 years ago four or five years ago. He is far ahead of his peers, but he is not strong enough to represent a championship-level team on his own.

The energy of the strongest player of the generation.

At first, Kobe wanted to challenge Iverson, but now Wade wants to challenge Liu Mang.

Wade in the second grade is better than Kobe Bryant who just took up his position in the third grade, and Liu Mang is not as good as Iverson, who has reached his peak at the age of 24 or 5, but he can't stand up to Liu Mang when there is Tracy McGrady next to him, so the two work together to bully him.

Wade.

The most important thing is that O'Neal himself was not the most dominant center in NBA history when he was in his twenties and seventies and in his prime.

In the entire Heat team, only O'Neal has the absolute advantage, and other positions are not as good as the Hawks. In terms of chemical reaction, the two teams are evenly matched. The Heat's tactical quality is not as good as the Hawks. O'Neal is no longer the one who can shoot 60-20 when he is angry.

He played hard in the first half, scoring 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. He wanted to help Wade deal with Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, but was unable to make up for Wade's 3-of-13 shots from the Hawks' defense.

A miserable performance.

11 points in the half and 5 of 6 free throws. Although he only had 1 assist in the half, Wade's performance seemed pretty good. However, Liu Mang and McGrady combined for 36 points and 7 assists, which made Wade lose his expression.

If O'Neal hadn't created nearly 30 points by himself, giving Damon Jones a three-pointer and Haslem making a mid-range shot and causing a foul and two free throws, the point difference would have been earlier.

was pulled apart.

At halftime, the Hawks led the Heat by 7 points, 54 to 47.

The half-time score failed to surpass Tracy McGrady, and Liu Mang was a little annoyed. Why was this guy so powerful?

However, it feels great to use all your strength!

In the first half, Liu Mang tried almost all his skills and made 7 of 12 shots. It felt so good.

But O'Neal is really good. He supports the Heat on his own. If Wade didn't make so many single mistakes and attempts to draw fouls, O'Neal might be able to compete with the Hawks on his own.

The role of the inside line is indeed much greater than that of the outside line, but O'Neal is so powerful alone that he cannot hold up against the rest of the Heat!

Liu Mang is very calm now. As long as he plays steadily, O'Neal's Heat team is not that difficult to deal with. After Tracy McGrady came off the court to rest in the third quarter, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Andre Iguodala, and Muhammad

, Rasheed Wallace, and Jason Terry, who only scored 4 points in the first half, started to attack with the ball.

At this time, Liu Mang's advantage over Tracy McGrady was revealed, his off-ball offense!

And because of the "non-contest" characteristic, Liu Mang's off-ball offense is very casual, which perfectly matches Jason Terry's ball-concentrated style of play. If Jason Terry passes the ball, Liu Mang will throw it. If he doesn't pass it, he will throw it away.

Try to help Jason Terry take away the defense as much as possible, so that Jason Terry can have a better one-on-one opportunity.

This time Tracy McGrady's star card allowed Liu Mang to experience the NBA from a very different perspective.

When Liu Mang used the previous star cards, his goal was to win, which was very purposeful.

But after using McGrady's star card, Liu Mang felt like he was "playing". The early McGrady was more "playing" than the current McGrady. The current McGrady has become McGrady's mother. His indisputable characteristics are

His performance is getting weaker and weaker. Liu Mang's performance in this game made Tracy McGrady seem to see himself three or four years ago when he just arrived with the Magic. He played with no purpose and played all-star, second team, first team, etc.

The top three MVP vote-getters and scoring champions are all here...

Seeing Liu Mang displaying his abilities in all aspects on the court, McGrady's eyes were filled with shadows of his former self...

But the more he saw Liu Mang's casualness, McGrady felt that he could no longer be the same as before. Liu Mang loved to play, but everyone had become famous. McGrady thought that he was the "big brother" and had to bear the responsibility when Liu Mang loved to play.

Take responsibility.

In the third quarter, the Hawks and Heat were playing very anxiously. During the halftime break, Wade, instead of losing confidence because of the abuse he suffered in the first half, became very angry. In the third quarter, he took advantage of McGrady's absence and beat rookie Iguodala.

At that time, he ignored Iguodala's various "touches" and forced Iguodala to confront him physically. Now Iguodala is not as strong as Wade. In the third quarter, Wade scored 13 points in a single quarter, while O'Neal scored 13 points in a single quarter.

With 10 points, the two teamed up to help the Heat score 26 points in a single quarter. That is, apart from the two, only Eddie Jones threw a three-pointer.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Without McGrady, the combination of Wade, who has not yet reached his peak, and O'Neal, whose physical fitness has declined, has just had a head-on with the Hawks.

.

Liu Mang scored 9 points in a single quarter, and Jason Terry scored 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, helping the Eagles score 25 points in a single quarter, and the point difference was narrowed by one point by the Heat.

But in the fourth quarter, after Tracy McGrady and Liu Mang joined hands again, Wade, who just thought he was about to stand up, was pushed to the ground and rubbed again.

Liu Mang continued his casual style of play in the fourth quarter, and McGrady was there anyway.

Tracy McGrady also took responsibility, sending out 4 assists and scoring 8 points in a single quarter. Liu Mang scored 10 points in a single quarter. The main reason was that the two of them worked together to lock down Wade, whether it was Damon Jones or Kenyon Du.

Lin couldn't make any outside shots. Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady were rubbing against Wade together...

"Dwyane, you are still too young, keep working hard." Liu Mang was replaced when the score difference widened to more than 15 points and there was only more than a minute left. Before leaving the field, Liu Mang asked whether he could defend him just now.

Wade, who was holding his own, said.

Without giving Wade a chance to counterattack, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady got together, and they ended up talking and laughing. In 69 seconds, with a 17-point difference, the Hawks defeated Iguodala, Prince, and Josh -

Smith, Muhammad, and Varejao were sent up, so I didn't believe the Heat could come back.

And Wade had nothing to refute.

These two are so strong! It’s no exaggeration to say that they are the strongest outside combination in the league!

It's like a replica of Jordan and Pippen, an enhanced offensive version. Of course, the defense is much weaker. After all, Jordan and Pippen are a double defensive line.

But for Wade now, he can't resist it at all!

"Why is it me who is injured again...why again?" Wade looked at the identical smiles of the two big devils. They easily scored 18 points and 5 assists in the final quarter, widening the point difference. Wade screamed in his heart...again

I decided to start training myself to death.

O'Neal was fine. He scored 33 points in three quarters. He failed to score in the fourth quarter, mainly because he ran out of energy. Wade's passing ability was still a bit poor. He couldn't pass the ball without attracting the inside defense. O'Neal was unable to pass the ball in the final quarter.

He only scored two points, and he had 35 points and 14 rebounds in the game. He beat the Eagles inside and shot 12 of 19 from the field, with a shooting percentage of over 60%.

But I can’t win!

Forget about McGrady on the other side, and Liu Mang, who scored 36 points today, Wade is still too young, and O'Neal is missing a certain No. 8 player who is starting his journey...

Liu Mang made 11 of 24 shots and scored 36 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. McGrady made 5 of 5 three-point shots and scored 27 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Jason Terry had 16 points and 4 assists. In the end, the Hawks scored 106 to 92.

Defeated the Heat surprisingly easily.

Since Miami is very close to Atlanta, Pat Riley came to the scene to watch the game. He saw that the Heat had no advantage in other aspects except O'Neal, and he was helpless. It was not the right time yet, mainly because Wade was not fully

Grow up, otherwise he can rely on the contacts he has accumulated over the years to immediately collect a bunch of high-quality role players.

But it's not working now. Wade still needs the ball to practice. Today, Wade only made 8 of 26 shots, a shooting percentage of just over 30%. Except for 4 of 8 in the third quarter, he only made 4 of 18 in the other three quarters.

On the court, it is to train Wade. This is Pat Riley's instruction to Stan Van Gundy.

Wade must be allowed to grow up as soon as possible during O'Neal's last two or three years of peak, otherwise this 100 million contract plus two potential stars in Odom and Barrett will be in vain...

…

…

After beating the Heat, the Hawks secured second place in the Eastern Conference, while the Heat fell to fourth place, being overtaken by the Nets, who ranked first in the division.

The fourth-placed Heat and fifth-placed Pacers are in serious trouble. The Pacers and Pistons are in the same division, and the Heat and Hawks are in the same division. Both have much better records than the Nets, but they can't hold up against the Nets.

The Atlantic Division where the team is located is in a period of collective decline. Of course, it is only in relative decline. There are still three teams in the Atlantic Division in the playoffs. But think back four or five years ago, the five teams in the Atlantic Division were the Nets and the Knicks.

, 76ers, Raptors, Celtics, all are contenders for the top four in the Eastern Conference...

After the game, Liu Mang did not leave immediately. He wanted to feel the freewheeling feeling in the game that had just ended. However, he deliberately wanted to feel that feeling, but he no longer had the freewheeling feeling.

Liu Mang is so sorry. That feeling is really great. The ability to show one's full strength as much as possible may be considered a kind of talent!

Liu Mang himself does not have that kind of talent, so he can only rely on hard work to make all the skills he knows stronger. When one day, he reaches his peak, even if he cannot use all the skills he knows 100%, he can still

If you practice strong enough and only exert 70% to 80% of the strength of each skill, it will be the same.

Just like what a certain blacksmith said, he doesn't need to be number one in every skill, and he doesn't need to be in the top five in every skill, that's fine.

Before Liu Mang left the arena, he practiced three-pointers and found that his three-point evaluation of 90 was no different from the previous 89!

But when Liu Mang saw the three-point evaluation of 90, he became more confident inexplicably.
