Jason Terry is a playoff player. In last season's playoffs, he was the only Eagles player besides Liu Mang who averaged 20 points per game. He was Liu Mang's most powerful scoring assistant.

In this game against the Heat, Jason Terry's ability to maintain scoring in high-intensity defense was demonstrated.

The playoffs are a game where the quantity of points is more important than the quality of points.

The games that can be both productive and efficient in the playoffs are usually games in which the team has many more scorers than its opponents, such as the Kings in 2002, the Spurs in 2014, and the Warriors after that.

Or he is as strong as Jordan at his peak, O'Neal, the strongest player in history who can beat the opponent down, both inside and outside.

And most of the time in the playoffs, just like the current playoff-level matchup between the Hawks and the Heat, it is difficult to play well with tactics and so on. Most of the time, you play against the defense.

Creating one-on-one singles opportunities is already a good answer. For example, Jackson's triangle offense helps stars create singles opportunities.

At this time, players like Jason Terry and Liu Mang who can do anything with the ball and can make shots, it's their time to show off.

Wade also has that kind of talent, but now, he doesn't have that ability on the offensive end. When he was defending Jason Terry, he was blown away by Jason Terry, but he himself could only break through the paint.

, Iguodala followed Liu Mang's instructions to guard his mid-range shot, and Josh Smith came to flank him. The Hawks' defense rotated very quickly. When Wade passed to Laettner, Jason Terry had already rotated.

The defense went to Laettner.

Laettner was pretty good when he was young, but now at the end of his career, he has no stable shooting percentage when catching and shooting is interfered by a short man. When Laettner passes the ball to Jason Terry's original defender, he double-teams Wade.

Josh Smith has already relied on his physical fitness to expand beyond James.

So it's not that Wade is unwilling to pass the ball, it's that he can't pass the ball!

Why pass the ball when he forces a layup and has a higher shooting percentage than his teammates who pass it out to catch the ball?

Therefore, when Wade was not as good as Jason Terry in such a tough battle, the two fought against each other and Wade was defeated.

From the second half of the first quarter to the fourth minute of the second quarter, in 9 minutes, Jason Terry made 5 of 9 shots and scored 15 points, 3 of 5 3-pointers, 2 of 4 mid-range shots, and made two free throws.

In 9 minutes, it was 3 points more than the 12 points Wade played for nearly a quarter and a half!

The Hawks' lineup advantage, after being fully prepared this time, was fully demonstrated. Jason Terry could use Iguodala's cutting ability and Calderon's open three-pointer to hit singles without hesitation.

The main reason why he couldn't break the double attack between Iguodala and Josh Smith was that Wade couldn't pass the ball when Eddie Jones was the only one singing, because the pass was not as good as his own.

In the fourth minute of the second quarter, driven by Jason Terry's 15 points in 9 minutes, the Hawks led the Heat by 9 points, 40-31!

Seeing that the score difference was about to reach more than 10 points, Van Gundy called a timeout and quickly replaced everyone. Of course, Wade continued to use it to death. This is the team culture of the Heat.

Jason Terry was as tired as a dog when he returned to the bench, but it was so cool!

During the first official timeout, Jason Terry was a little worried when he heard that Liu Mang asked him to go up and do whatever he wanted on both offense and defense. Jason Terry was still a little worried, but he

Who is Terry? There are countless big wave ratios in NBA history. In order to be more wavering, he is willing to go to the bench and go up to get the ball. He has nothing to worry about.

Anyway, even if there is a problem with the wave, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady are still there to support it. Jason Terry has no pressure at all and will vote if he feels there is an opportunity.

He blasted for 9 consecutive minutes, averaging one shot per minute under high-intensity defense. It was a completely incredible performance, and he also made 6 of 9 shots. Jason Terry is really enjoying his game now, but he is also very tired.

Enough.

Although Jason Terry is not good at defense, he is very serious and has a sense of responsibility. He feels that he has taken away all the opportunities from his teammates on the offensive end, and he has to work hard on the defensive end, so now he is holding a cup like a dead dog.

Gatorade is drinking.

It’s getting tiring, but Jason Terry now feels that Liu Mang’s suggestion is great!

Without Liu Mang's advice, he would not have dared to fight like this no matter how he acted, without Liu Mang coming on stage and Liu Mang taking the blame.

Liu Mang has long known the characteristics of Jason Terry, so when the coaching staff wanted him to rest more in each game so that Jason Terry could better utilize his abilities, Liu Mang did not refuse.

Instead, he gave advice to Jason Terry.

Physical fitness for playing games is one aspect. In this aspect, Liu Mang has no problem. He can play the whole game. But if he plays for too long, his attention will be more or less distracted. Reduce the game time a little, which will affect his concentration.

Said to be beneficial, Liu Mang also wanted to give his nerves a chance to calm down. The physical medicine was effective for the body, but there was nothing that could be done about the consumption of the brain.

In this kind of high-intensity game, relying on Jason Terry's scoring ability to compete with the opponent in the transition period is effective! Coach Kruger is very pleased that Jason Terry has widened the point difference.

Well, it looks like the Heat are going to return to their main team, and coach Kruger is also preparing to change players to improve his position.

For the Heat, Wade, Damon Jones, Eddie Jones, Haslem, and O'Neal are back on the court.

Liu Mang watched Jason Terry play for 9 minutes, and he couldn't wait to come on the court, playing with Tracy McGrady, Prince, Kwame Brown, and Mourning.

…

After the timeout, Liu Mang was waiting next to the top arc. After Damon Jones came over, he immediately followed Damon Jones and ran. This guy's three-pointer was so powerful that he didn't dare to give him any space. O'Neal and Wade were both there.

, the Heat have two players who are great passers.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! O'Neal saw Mourning coming up and immediately pressed inside to gain position. His current physical condition is the best since the 2000-2001 season. He needs to rest.

After 9 minutes of game time, it was almost 20 minutes later, and now it is full of life.

When O'Neal plays in isolation, the Heat also stand firm. When Wade organizes the offense, others move to find opportunities. When O'Neal plays in isolation, others only need to stand and wait for the ball. This is the best way to provide opportunities.

O'Neal's way of opening up the space.

Liu Mang stayed close to Damon Jones and looked inside, trying to see what difference Mourning made in guarding O'Neal.

"Alonzo Mourning, ability evaluation 81, offense 71, defense 94, 67 mid-range shot, 85 layup, 79 speed, 94 strength, 70 endurance..."

As Mourning plays more and more games, the impact of minor injuries has disappeared, and he has basically returned to the strongest strength he can have now. Liu Mang feels that it is too luxurious for a defensive center with an 81 ability rating to play as a substitute.

Yes! There is almost no difference from Ratliff last season.

It's just that the endurance is so bad! It's much worse than Ratliff. Ratliff has an endurance of 80 after all. It's no problem to maintain the best condition for twenty-seven or eight minutes in a game, but Mourning has to maintain the best condition.

In the best condition, it can last no more than sixteen or seventeen minutes.

Liu Mang couldn't blame Mourning. He hadn't played well in four years, had a kidney transplant, and was about to turn 35. It's already good to have such strength when he comes back under such circumstances.

O'Neal got stuck with Mourning on the right side of the basket. The rest of the Heat opened up the space, and the rest of the Hawks could only follow suit. The Heat's lineup is their best shooting lineup.

Mourning's strength in 94 is very powerful. There are not many centers who are stronger than him, but there is still a clear gap between him and the strength of 99 who is the league's best. There is a gap of one level.

Mourning tried his best, but it only caused more trouble for O'Neal to get stuck. O'Neal sank his center of gravity, stuck out his butt, took a step back with his right foot and stepped into the three-second zone, insisting on getting there.

Location.

After Wade lobbed the ball to O'Neal, he ran to the mid-range on the left side of the basket. Fearing that Wade now had a mid-range shot, McGrady did not dare to double-team O'Neal directly.

After O'Neal received the ball, Mourning defended in exactly the same way as Kwame Brown defended O'Neal when O'Neal was about to get the ball. O'Neal moved forward a little, swatted the ball down and hit his body backwards. At the moment, he moved forward a little.

O'Neal pressed up, pressed against O'Neal, stretched out his hand around O'Neal's huge body to get the ball!

O'Neal was used to this kind of defense when he played against Kwame Brown before. He turned around decisively and walked towards the basket. However, Mourning did not use all his strength in the move to bully O'Neal just now, just to force O'Neal to turn around quickly! It was just to consume O'Neal.

With his physical strength, Mourning immediately squeezed to the basket the moment O'Neal turned around. With his excellent judgment, Mourning was still in front of O'Neal!

He turned around but failed to get rid of Mourning! O'Neal became fierce and used strength again. He hit Mourning with his waist, jumped inside, and smashed the ball into the basket through Mourning's hands!

Isn’t this still the same as being impossible to guard against? Liu Mang thought that Mourning was confident that he would play center and could guard against it...

He cursed a little, but Liu Mang knew that Mourning consumed O'Neal better than Kwame Brown!

Kwame Brown clearly saw Mourning's defensive skills on the left baseline from a distance of two or three meters. He felt that he benefited a lot. No matter how much he gave me some advice, nothing could be more direct than seeing it with his own eyes.

Although it only prevents O'Neal from taking one more step on the offensive end, for Kwame Brown, allowing O'Neal to do one more action and consume a little more physical energy is a huge improvement!

Being able to consume more of O'Neal's physical strength is now the biggest problem for other teams when facing O'Neal who has regained his former physical fitness.

The offense and defense transition, the Hawks attack, just now Jason Terry finished his shot, now it is Liu Mang and McGrady's turn.

Liu Mang mainly plays singles, supplemented by McGrady's catch-and-shoot and secondary passes. Liu Mang continues to play pick-and-roll with McGrady. If the Heat's Wade and Eddie Jones guard Liu Mang in order to prevent Liu Mang from attacking the inside.

If Liu Mang rushes to the basket, McGrady can receive the ball and shoot or continue to break through and distribute the ball. Otherwise, Liu Mang will rush to the basket and force the opponent to give him a chance to shoot from close range.

On the Heat's side, O'Neal lost some energy and began to assist Wade in the offense. He began to take the initiative to play pick-and-roll cuts. The Heat's offense was a little better than in the first quarter.

But Liu Mang's touch came, scoring 12 points in 8 minutes, Kwame Brown scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, Tracy McGrady had 3 points and 2 assists, Prince and Rasheed Wallace scored 4 points, and the game ended at halftime.

At the end, with Liu Mang's 20 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, Jason Terry's 15 points and 1 assist, and McGrady's 8 points and 4 assists, the Hawks led the Heat by 11 points 63 to 52 at halftime!

The Heat were already playing very well, with 52 points at halftime being their regular score, but the Eagles performed better on the offensive end! They scored 63 points!

Mainly because of Jason Terry's performance of 15 points in 9 minutes!

Pat Riley, the real leader behind the Heat, had calculated everything, but he never expected that Jason Terry would be so tough! Just like Jason Terry's explosion in the first two games of the 2006 Finals in the original time and space.

Just like when Pat Riley was stunned, the Heat originally tried to drag the Hawks into the position and had a chance to decide the outcome until the last moment of the game. With Wade, O'Neal and Damon Jones, it was a good move.

The Eagles' clutch ability.
