Chapter 1201 1200. One Meter Long Hair

12 to 8, the Eagles are about to gain momentum. The Eagles players all want to work hard to prevent the Heat's next attack. As long as they can defend it in the next round, when it is their turn to attack, the point difference will be The chance is extended to more than 5 points.

When the Heat attacked, Wade received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.

Jason Williams and Posey opened up the space and created singles opportunities for Wade.

The Hawks' defense on both the inside and outside is too good. Except for the Heat relying on Wade and O'Neal to attract double attacks, the tactics are difficult to implement. Antoine Walker is not very effective in singles, and Rasheed Wallace can't do it in the paint. If you don't have a good position, you can't use the three-pointers after gambling on your luck with the ball from the outside, and it's difficult to threaten. The situation is similar with the Eagles, and it's difficult to achieve tactical coordination, but Liu Mang can do it without hesitation. As long as his teammates catch the ball and shoot the ball from the mid-to-long distance when he attracts early double-teams, it will be fine.

The Heat pointed at Wade and O'Neal. O'Neal had played alone twice just now, and now it's time to slow down.

Facing McGrady's aggressive defense, Wade did not hesitate and continued to break through!

Wade is so difficult to guard against. He has strong breakthroughs. His mid-range shooting is not top-notch but he is also above-average. His ability to finish at the basket is one of the best among outside players. He also has a high IQ. He can accurately grasp the timing of the shot and the breakthrough.

However, McGrady guarded Artest in the first round and had to guard James for a period of time in each game in the second round. Now that he has met Wade, he has already gained experience. Wade broke through directly with the ball this time, and McGrady pressed up faster. He didn't want to Give Wade a chance to start, rather than being squeezed in by Wade's strong body, you have to stay close to Wade. At least you can use your height to interfere, and you can try to force Wade to go off the line and help Kwame Brown defend him. Opportunity.

Wade was not to be outdone and forced McGrady to rush in from the bottom line. He was originally planning to pass the ball to O'Neal after attracting Kwame Brown to attack.

However, Wade just broke into the free throw line, and when McGrady got within the free throw line and used his arm to force Wade to go off the line, the referee's whistle sounded!

Wade heard the whistle and threw the ball toward the basket without touching the basket.

This was only the Eagles' third foul, not a foul penalty.

But just because Wade's whistle sounded, he grabbed the ball and threw it out. The referee signaled Wade to get two free throws!

McGrady didn't expect that he would foul again!

After the referee made a foul gesture, he pointed at him and pushed someone. McGrady was so angry that he jumped up!

This ball was called a foul in the regular season. McGrady can accept it, but this is the playoffs!

In the first round, he and Artest almost had a fight, and the referee didn't even call a foul.

If it were just that the referee tightened the whistle to the level of the regular season, McGrady thought that would be fine, but the scale of the referee's whistle was different!

And it's not that the two teams have different scales. Relatively speaking, overall, the Eagles are more favored. Kwame Brown defends O'Neal, and almost every action is a foul.

Prince used rough defensive moves against Jason Williams, but the referee didn't call it a blow. Posey and Wade used the same defensive pressure to defend McGrady and Liu Mang, but the referee didn't call it a call either.

But when McGrady defended Wade, he defended him four times. He was called for a foul the first time, failed to defend the second time, and failed the third time. In addition, Wade himself failed to catch and throw the ball. But when he defended Wade for the fourth time, McGrady was called for a foul again!

Got two fouls in just over five minutes!

The first time McGrady didn't say anything, but this second time, it was a double offense!

Because the game was fierce and the confrontation was fierce, McGrady was very excited and was furious when the referee called two fouls in a row for more than five minutes. He directly said to the Mediterranean referee: "Are you kidding me? This is not the WNBA, you Let’s go play their game, lady!”

In this case, the referee could not bear it and immediately gave a technical foul.

The fans at the scene were already booing the referee, but now they are booing even more!

Coach Kruger immediately called a timeout!

Rasheed Wallace came over and grabbed McGrady, who was still chattering. At this time, Rasheed Wallace was the calmest. He held Liu Mang, who also wanted to argue, with one hand and McGrady with the other. Bench.

…

Suddenly the situation suddenly changes!

The situation was originally going well, but the referee made an inexplicable call, causing McGrady to angrily yell at the referee and give the Heat three free throws!

However, as a whole, the Eagles can't find fault with this kind of whistle!

O'Neal was violated by various fouls by Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace, and the referee did not call a foul. O'Neal is used to it. He has been like this for more than ten years, but Pat Riley almost never called a foul from the beginning of the game. He started complaining on the sidelines, but the referee ignored him.

Generally speaking, the Hawks took advantage of the whistle. The Hawks committed three fouls in the half quarter. The Heat had four fouls and free throws. Wade and Jason Williams each committed one foul. Antoine- Walker has already committed two fouls on rebounds. The Hawks' three fouls were except for Kwame Brown's foul on Wade's cut to catch the ball and hit the basket. The other two were McGrady's fouls.

But these two fouls by McGrady are so critical! McGrady couldn't play for the rest of the first quarter!

It was almost time for Rasheed Wallace to be replaced. Coach Kruger simply replaced him and asked him to provide psychological counseling to Tracy McGrady and learn how to get used to being called a technical foul every day.

"John, what did you have for dinner today?"

"Oh, the steak I had, the steak you have here tastes great. I hope I can have it for dinner tomorrow."

"Of course there will be. You have worked hard in officiating the game. We will definitely try our best to provide you with food and accommodation."

"You worked hard coaching."

After the referee finished speaking, he went to the technical table to confirm the technical foul.

Coach Kruger had a calm chat with the referee, mainly talking about common matters. There was nothing wrong with the call. McGrady did commit a foul. If he really wanted to call a foul, he had nothing to say as a head coach. The technical offenders in the back were all insulting to gender. It would be nice if McGrady was not criticized by American feminists after the game. He just wanted to talk to the referee and found that the referee didn't have much dislike for them. It was just McGrady's words at that time. He had to call a technical foul to maintain his authority, so he Returned to the bench and rearranged personnel rotation.

On Liu Mang's side, after calming down, he stayed with Coach Kruger and listened to Coach Kruger's chat with the referee on the sidelines, as usual.

Liu Mang didn't notice that his home court advantage had changed, but... McGrady had changed... or maybe the scale of punishment for those who defended Wade had changed!

Only Wade on the Heat caused a foul against the Hawks, and Wade alone caused all three fouls.

After Liu Mang calmed down, he easily figured out the matter.

The referee wants Wade to perform better!

In other words, the league wants Wade to get better opportunities to perform!

Prince once again switched defense to Wade. Wade was directly slapped down by Prince once in a mid-range shot. It was the one-on-one mid-range single with Wade.

Because Prince is a technical defensive player who uses his height, wingspan, defensive awareness, and defensive skills instead of impact, there was physical contact and the referee did not foul.

Prince's defense was clean and looked like a regular-season physical contact on the defensive end.

But McGrady's defense was more rough, a standard playoff-level rough confrontation. After all, he was a player who started out as a defender in the 1990s, and then he was called for two fouls by the referee.

This is obvious. The other nine players on the field and Wade, the players in the two "camps", face different defensive standards!

The other nine people were all whistled at the playoff level. Only Wade was whistled at the regular season standard when others were guarding Wade!

Coach Kruger called a 100-second timeout. After discussing with Stockton and Mike Woodson, he began to arrange personnel rotation: "Tracy and Rasheed are off the court to rest. Andre, you go up and defend." Wade..."

Liu Mang interrupted at this time and said: "Coach, let me guard Wade, Andre guard Williams, Tyshawn can also take a rest, Tyshawn and I take turns guarding Wade."

Liu Mang was still angry! But more of a concern. McGrady actually got a star whistle on Wade. Iguodala probably won't be much better. Only Prince can defend Wade well from mid-range and interfere well at the basket, but his defense Wade's breakthrough speed can't be stopped, but he is already the most effective defender against Wade at the regular season level. Wade, who played very well in the playoffs this year, McGrady can't guard Wade with regular season defense. .

"Ace, you go and defend..." Coach Kruger was about to say what to do if you also get into a foul crisis, but he immediately realized what Liu Mang meant and asked: "Let's take a bet?"

"Yes, let's take a bet!" Liu Mang felt that 'the one who knows me is Mauro Lang Kruger'. Probably no coach would understand him so well.

You have to win the first game!

The brave will be starved to death and the timid will die. Coach Kruger has just come here in the past few years. With Liu Mang's thoughts, Coach Kruger feels like he is breaking the league and seems intent on promoting the top five players of the 2003 generation in the playoffs. Wade's approach.

This method is very risky, but if it succeeds, it will directly defeat the sudden advantage for the Heat!

Coach Kruger was going to do this and rearrange the field: "Ace, Jason, you go up for singles and throw the ball in. Jason, try to prevent the opponent's catcher and shooter from making easy shots. Andre, guard Williams. Josh, Kwame, come on!"

…

After the timeout, Wade walked to the free throw line alone and took the first technical foul free throw. Wade stood on the free throw line and felt something... Although it was a bit shameful to say it, this was an opportunity!
