Variety!

It is never possible to predict Liu Mang's next game or even how he will play the next ball!

This feeling makes opponents panic!

Do you really want to say that Anfernee Hardaway is better than Liu Mang in singles?

It is almost impossible. Except for Iverson, Wade, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady who played in their peak years, among the current stars, it is unlikely that any other perimeter players would be better in singles than Liu Mang in his peak period.

Including Anfernee Hardaway, who is now hesitant to retire.

However, the Heat were prepared to defend against Liu Mang's off-ball and prepared to defend against Liu Mang's comprehensive offensive methods, but they did not expect that Liu Mang actually played a "Trac McGrady" style of play.

And the pass is a little faster than McGrady!

Just like Kobe Bryant said that he did not deliberately imitate Jordan, although McGrady did not personally say that his playing style imitated Penny, everyone could see it.

McGrady's skills are very similar to Penny's. He knows everything and is proficient in everything. They are both first-class and close to the top level. McGrady's scoring ability is better than Anfernee Hardaway. There is no doubt about this. The scoring leader who averages 30 per game must be Bianfen.

Neighbor Hardaway is stronger, but in passing, McGrady has more assists, and his field of vision is probably about the same, but in terms of the ability to pass the ball, that is, the ability to transfer the ball and support the ball, McGrady is still inferior to Anfernee Hardaway.

, after all, is Anfernee Hardaway’s most praised ability.

The cooperation between McGrady and Liu Mang is like cooperating with himself. McGrady has a way of passing the ball out by himself, and the ball will be passed to the next teammate according to his own ideas, allowing his teammates to score easily.

Although Tracy McGrady and Liu Mang had a tacit understanding of each other before, they always have a better understanding when cooperating with "themselves" than with others. They don't have to think about what others will do next, as long as they feel how they should handle the ball when they receive it.

That’s it!

Different from the two previous visits to Miami where they were suppressed in the first quarter and gradually got better and better later on, this time the Eagles attacked with great impact from the beginning of the game.

Liu Mang's completely different style of play from before made it difficult for the Heat to adapt. However, the Hawks have long been accustomed to Liu Mang's changeable style of play. They just need to cooperate with Liu Mang to run into the open space. If there is an open space, the combination of Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady will be enough.

The "T-Mac" combination can always put the ball in the hands of teammates.

The Eagles vowed before the game that they must win this game. Everyone was focused. The start was not good, but not bad. The open shots were pretty good. The Eagles scored and passed in the first quarter with Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady.

Next, scored 28 points in a single quarter!

This is the highest score the Eagles have scored in the first quarter since the second game!

But the Heat are working harder!

O'Neal scored 11 points in the first quarter, which was his highest score in the first quarter in the six games of this Eastern Conference Finals.

The Heat have to fight hard. If they lose this home game, they will be eliminated. Their goal after losing the first two away games is to drag the series into a tiebreaker. At this time, they dare not relax at all.

Wade made a mid-range shot or a foul shot, scoring 10 points in a single quarter. Wade and O'Neal combined to score 21 points in the first quarter, helping the Heat score 27 points in a single quarter!

This is the first time the Hawks have led the Heat in the first quarter in the other four games except for the first and fourth games!

McGrady had 7 points, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter, and Liu Mang had 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the first quarter. Both of them performed extremely well.

Leading by 1 point after the first quarter is very exciting for the Eagles!

In the last game, Jason Terry came on early at the end of the first quarter to take the lead into the second quarter. This time Jason Terry didn't play, but Korver and Josh Smith took turns.

They were all leading by 1 point on the road heading into the break. The Eagles felt like this game was going to be exciting!

Have a chance to kill the Heat in six games!

…

Rest between sessions.

In the first quarter, Pat Riley made several personnel adjustments, but they failed to curb the double cooperation of Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady.

The main reason is that I think it's too exaggerated. Liu Mang "enlightened" without the ball in a game before. He suddenly broke out in one quarter. Pat Riley can understand it, but the second pass and the post-up were open to Pat Riley.

It's like I'm living in a dream.

Jordan was not so exaggerated! It was only in the last three consecutive years that Jordan was almost 33 years old, that he used post-up singles as a common technique and practiced it to the level of a master with great proficiency. Liu Mang suddenly went from being pretty good to being close to the top.

Mastery level, this guy just turned 24 in the summer!

When Jordan was 24 years old... he was still nursing a leg injury...

Pat Riley feels that when Liu Mang retires, he will probably retire the Heat's No. 1 jersey...

Although Jordan's No. 23 jersey was retired, there were many other factors that affected Pat Riley's judgment, but Pat Riley absolutely respected and admired Jordan. He thought that he actually used a Chinese player to compete with Jordan.

In comparison, my thoughts feel terrible.

Suppressing the uneasiness in my heart, now even if Jordan returns to his peak and replaces Liu Mang of the Hawks, Pat Riley will have to fight in the Eastern Conference Finals. Although O'Neal is still very strong, his condition is not as good as every year.

, who knows if there will be another year, and the lineup of role players next year will not be as good as this year. We must fight hard this year!

Even O'Neal worked hard today. O'Neal wanted to beat Liu Mang more than anything. He heard Kobe say that no one is afraid of the finals and wanted to beat Kobe!

In the first quarter, O'Neal had 11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 assist. It felt like he was dreaming of returning to the top.

Pat Riley and O'Neal discussed it. O'Neal was not going to take a rest. He had been recuperating for so long during the regular season. Isn't it just for now? Let's take advantage of the good condition and give it a try!

O'Neal played the first quarter and the second quarter and continued to play, which gave Pat Riley a lot of confidence and could develop tactics that were more conducive to Wade's performance.

For the Eagles, coach Kruger began to use his best ability. He made tactical changes based on Liu Mang's play in the first quarter. He replaced Tracy McGrady, who played the entire first quarter, and replaced Jason Terry.

…

…

After returning from the break, the Eagles sent out a combination of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, and Mourning.

The Heat sent out a lineup of Payton, Wade, Posey, Antoine Walker, and O'Neal.

The Heat attacked and Wade advanced with the ball.

Wade watched Liu Mang waiting inside the three-point line on the opposite side and felt so much pressure!

This kind of pressure stimulated Wade's blood. The pressure gave Wade a depressing feeling and made his blood boil.

How many years, first time!
