Wade shot 18 of 33 from the field, 13 of 20 free throws, and exploded with 49 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and O'Neal also scored 24 points and 12 rebounds, with a very high efficiency of 10 of 16 shots, but the Heat lost 97-112 to the Hawks by 15 points!

No one on the Hawks' side is so grumpy with Wade,

Liu Mang scored 16 points in the first quarter, and was targeted for defense later, scoring only 26 points on 9-of-19 shooting.

Maddie scored 15 points in the third quarter, but only scored two points in the first quarter, except for being targeted for most of the third quarter, scoring 24 points on 7-of-17 from the field.

Jason Terry took advantage of Liu Mang to attract defense, played 29 minutes, shot 11 of 18, and scored 30 points!

From a personal point of view, the Eagles can only compete with O'Neal alone, and they all have to fall behind, but the three of them combined to score 80 points!

With Josh Smith scoring 11 points and Kwame Brown scoring 9 points and 9 rebounds, the Hawks' five main players scored 100 points, while the Heat scored 15 points except for Wade's 49 points and O'Neal's 24 points, and only Antoine Walker scored 15 points, and no fourth player scored in double figures.

In the star-to-star match, the Hawks took turns to exert their strength and overturned the Heat!

……

The first one was won!

The morale of the Eagles is boosted!

At the beginning of the game, Maddie was fouled twice by Wade, and he only played more than five minutes before he could not play in the first quarter, disrupting the Hawks' rotation plan, but breaking the plan allowed the Hawks to play an unexpected start, scoring 33 points in the first quarter and establishing an advantage in one fell swoop.

After the game, the Hawks won by 15 points over the Heat and didn't make the spotlight today.

Today's focus is on Wade's 20 free throws!

In comparison, in the first two rounds of the Hawks' series, playing the Pacers, it was almost hand-to-hand, and the Hawks averaged only 21 free throws per game, and playing the Cavaliers, the technical flow defense battle, the Hawks averaged only 17 free throws per game.

In the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals of the Hawks, the whole team only made 23 free throws, while Wade alone made 20 free throws, and the Heat made 35 free throws, 12 more than the Hawks!

Of course, almost all of them are focused on Wade and O'Neal, who have 28 free throws, O'Neal 8, and Wade has 20!

Except for Liu Mang, it was a foul for others to touch Wade.

In addition to the second half of the first quarter, the first half of the first quarter and the second and third quarters were all Pat Riley's iron-blooded defensive mode.

But a touch of Wade will be whistled for a foul, forcing the Hawks to defend one-on-one, and Wade scored 49 points.

But just like that, the Heat still lost!

The league's blowing issue was strongly criticized, but the Hawks did not appeal, mainly because Maddie attacked the referee with discriminatory language and insisted on appealing in case of a ban, and the league kept silent.

Fortunately, because the referee's whistle favoring Wade caused too much of a sensation, Maddie's scolding of the referee was not investigated by the media and did not expand the bad influence.

Of course, this is the opinion of the media and fans, the Hawks are taking the initiative to use Liu Mang and Prince to defend Wade alone, using Prince is a pure defensive player who has a three-point shooting rate of 33% at any time to interfere with Wade and consume Wade with foot movement and height and arm span as much as possible, and use the advantage that Liu Mang will not be targeted by the referee and has no physical restrictions to consume Wade, so that Wade's physical fitness will decline, and he can only focus on the offensive end, and the Heat's outside single defense is weakened, so he can only wrap Liu Mang more, Gave Maddie and Jason Terry the chance to explode in the second and third quarters.

This game has also been analyzed a lot, and the conclusion that the media has come to the conclusion that the Heat team was suddenly widened is that the Heat team wanted to use the whistle given by the referee, but was used by the Hawks.

The headline news given by the domestic media is "Smart is mistaken by smart", Pat Riley wanted to be clever and use the referee's whistle to favor Wade to make a fuss, but he gave up his defense that he did very well in the first half of the first quarter, and he would fall into the quagmire step by step.

However, no matter how the media bombarded and how the fans talked about it, the league did not explain the problem of blowing penalties.

If you analyze the fouls one by one according to the rules, every time Wade walks to the free throw line, it is justified, and there are definitely foul actions, but it is just a matter of scale.

The media and fans only criticized the problem of blowing the penalty scale, not the foul problem, because Liu Mang's defense was much stronger than Wade's, but he only made 6 free throws in the whole game.

……

"Tracy, isn't it 3,500 yuan, so you should break the bank and avoid disasters!" Liu Mang comforted Maddie, who was distressing about his wallet.

Maddie is so sad that the team didn't appeal for him about the technical foul, which he can accept, but he still feels sorry for the money!

This is the fourth time he has played in the playoffs this year, mainly when he played the five games of the Pacers, and he received three technical fouls in many battles with Artest, and the amount of the technical foul fine reached 3,500 US dollars, and Maddie has lost 11,000 US dollars in this year's playoffs......

Fortunately, he was not banned, and Maddie could only accept Liu Mang's statement of "breaking the fortune and avoiding disasters".

After the first game, the confidence of the Eagles side was greatly improved.

Even if Wade scored 49 points, they won!

The playoffs are a place to fight for stars, especially in this kind of defensive confrontation game, you can often see a role player who is usually a god pitcher throwing N shots 0 in the performance, just like last year when the Heat was upset by the Bulls, their god pitcher Damon Jones, who averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game in the regular season, shot 4 of 15 three-pointers in the playoffs, and had no regular season style at all, and Stan Van Gundy didn't dare to send him on the court.

This time the Heat and the Hawks were the same, both teams had very inaccurate role shots, the Hawks relied on the three eagles, and the Heat pointed to Wade, O'Neal and Antoine Walker to score.

If the next game is still like this, Liu Mang and Maddie are very confident!

Fight for stars, fight for defense, none of them are afraid!

After the first game of the Eastern Conference finals, the Hawks' next game against the Heat will be played on May 25, with two days off in between.

Among them, May 23 is the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks.

On the morning of the 23rd, the Eagles players went to the arena for a team meeting to study the shortcomings of the first game, discuss the more clear strengths and how to expand the strengths.

Strengthen the existing strengths and make up for the disadvantages that are exposed.
