From today on is the king

Chapter 1157 1156. Strange Thoughts of Cavaliers Fans

Crap...the Eagles are serious!
So stable!
This time the start felt so bad, I was stunned to rely on Horry and the five small lineups to carry the Eagles' lowest ebb in the beginning.

In the second quarter, relying on Liu Mang and Jason Terry scoring 20 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, they successfully overtook the score before halftime and opened the point difference to 5 points!
After halftime, the Eagles entered the intermission with a 61-point lead 56 to 5!
Liu Mang scored 11 points and 8 assists in the half, Jason Terry scored 13 points in a single quarter, and brought his teammates' touch.

Liu Mang took advantage of all the advantages he could, and continued to maintain the demeanor of the food abuse brigade.

The fifth Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference... is still very good!
打满上半场的詹姆斯拿到21分4助攻，拉里-休斯也拿到了10分3助攻，两人合力的表现，实际上比刘莽和贾森-特里加起来半场24分10助攻表现还要更好一点。

But the Hawks can't stand Horry!

Liu Mang finally had a delicious meal cooked by Huo Li...

……

Back from the second half, Liu Mang, who played the first half, continued to play. Jason Terry played the second quarter and needed a break. Liu Mang, Calderon, Iguodala, David Lee, and Mourning went up to play rotation time.

The poor man's version of Janeway, who played the first half, took a 3-minute break at the beginning of the third quarter. The Cavaliers sent Snow, Stephen Graham, Newbell, Gooden, and Varejao to rely on defense.

But in these 3 minutes, Liu Mang scored three three-pointers in a row!

Liu Mang, who gradually warmed up in the first half, went berserk at the beginning of the third quarter!

After missing two shots at the beginning, he made 3 consecutive three-pointers!Scored 9 points in a row.

The Cavaliers only made one goal in the past 3 minutes and scored 3 points. They were beaten 9-3 by Liu Mang. Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown quickly called a timeout.

59 to 70!
Without Larry Hughes, even James is not here, Snow defends very well, but now Liu Mang can use the pick-and-roll to shoot directly, and Liu Mang plays very sloppy!
Larry Hughes and James came back from halftime and hadn't warmed up their butts on the bench yet, and they had to play again soon.

James and Larry Hughes played very well today. They came back in the third quarter and scored 5 points together to help the Cavaliers stabilize the situation.

But Liu Mang voted now!
After the Eagles hit an iron and were beaten 5-0 by the Cavaliers, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, encountered Larry Hughes' defense, and took a light step. Larry Hughes jumped up immediately. Just now, I saw Liu Mang soaring three consecutive three-pointers against the pick-and-roll switcher on the sidelines. Larry Hughes wanted to scold his teammates.

In the first half, Liu Mang made 5 of 0 three-pointers and could only score in the middle and short range. Larry Hughes defended very hard to do this. As a result, when he came back in the second half, my good guy, he directly supported Liu Mang's touch!

Liu Mang used his three-point threat to fly away Larry Hughes and then broke through to the inside!

At the middle distance, Liu Mang stopped suddenly, James rushed forward to block, Liu Mang threw the ball backwards, James' hand hit Liu Mang's arm, the referee whistled, and Liu Mang scored the fourth goal in a row!

There is an additional penalty for hitting a mid-range emergency stop jumper!

Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made an extra free throw. He was chased by the Cavaliers to 64 to 70, only 6 points away. Seeing that he could get back to within 9 points by defending one goal and one goal, the difference was expanded to [-] points!
73 to 64, the Eagles firmly occupy the lead!

Fighting and fighting, James felt that fate was too unfair to him!
It was not easy to encounter such an opportunity. He and Larry Hughes finally broke out together when they met the Eagles, and they both played very well.
Restricted by the death five, James has nothing to say. Some strange lineup changes of the Eagles can often produce very good results. Many teams are imitating the tactics of the Eagles and want to try to learn.

But Horry's explosion, those 12 points, caught the Cavaliers by surprise!

No one could have imagined that it was Horry who made the Eagles survive the slow start!

If the Cavaliers lead by a relatively large point difference at the beginning, even if it is six or seven points, they will be able to play more and more motivated. This is the case with young teams. The morale is accumulated like a snowball, and the better they play, the Cavaliers may have a chance to upset.

But now, the snowball has become the Eagles!
For the Cavaliers, every time James and Larry Hughes got closer to the score, they were quickly opened up by Liu Mang scoring consecutive points.

This feeling is too tortured!

After three quarters, the Eagles were 84 to 77. James and Larry Hughes worked hard, and the Eagles still led by 7 points.

Finally, in the first half of the fourth quarter, Zhan Sibeng, who often appeared in front of Liu Mang, came!

Liu Mang and Jason Terry, who was not replaced after playing in the second half of the third quarter, came up to lead the Eagles to a wave of onslaught.

After Liu Mang broke through the middle to the inside and then met Varejao's defensive split, the Eagles played a wave of 5 to 14 within 4 minutes, and suddenly opened the point difference to 17 points, securing the victory!

Abusive food, abuse again!
……

With a 17-point difference, Liu Mang, who played for 41 consecutive minutes, was replaced by a lineup of Jason Terry, Iguodala, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown to defend and secure the victory.

Coach Kruger was very cautious today. With 7 minutes left to lead by 17 points, he still replaced three starters, and also replaced the most important three substitutes, for fear of being reversed by the Cavaliers.

In order to break the 72 wins, all means have been used...

Although James helped the Cavaliers narrow the point difference to 8 points in the end, he only narrowed the point difference to [-] points and failed to lead the team to complete the reversal.

In the end, James scored 37 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Larry Hughes scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. The two played the best performance against the Eagles after combining, but they still lost!
For Liu Mang, he easily scored 31 points, 13 assists and 4 rebounds. It really looked very easy. He scored 5 assists in the first quarter and easily scored 20 points in the second half. With Horry breaking out and Jason Terry standing on the bench to lead the offense, Liu Mang played very easily even if McGrady was not there.

110 to 102, the Eagles won six consecutive victories!

The record has improved to 68 wins and 7 losses!
There are only 5 games to win, and the historical record can be broken!

After the game, the focus was not on James who scored 37+7+7, nor Liu Mang who scored 30+10 again, nor Jason Terry who scored 28 points, but Horry!

Horry was the turning point of that game. Otherwise, the Cavaliers led by James would have an advantage, and the result of the game would be hard to say.

Liu Wei was asked about Horry's explosion during an interview. Liu Wei replied: "Robert's performance is not considered an explosion. This is his inherent strength, but he is a bit older and his warm-up is a little slow. Now he is starting to find the feeling. It is a great thing for us. With such a teammate who has won 5 championships, I have more confidence in our next playoffs."

……

……

James lost to Liu Mang again. On the second day, people were concerned about Horry, who was much better than the regular season in the playoffs, and felt sorry for James.

That's horrible!
For three years, the Cavaliers have lost 12 straight against the Eagles!

However, the Cavaliers are the focus of the league. Before James entered the NBA, the Cavaliers sometimes only played against the Hawks three times a season, but because of James, the Cavaliers had to play against the Eagles four times in the regular season every season.

Thinking of Arenas, who is said to be looking for gods to heal mental illnesses everywhere, people are really worried that James will be beaten out of mental disorder by Liu Mang.

Including Cavaliers fans, they all feel worried. James is only in the third grade, and he has to face the crazy suppression of a historically powerful enemy. The Cavaliers are basically determined to be the fifth in the Eastern Conference. After losing to the Eagles, they have 45 wins and 30 losses. There are still seven games. The 76ers who are fourth and the Nets who are sixth are both 40 wins and 34 losses.

Although the Cavaliers are only fifth in the Eastern Conference, their ranking in the playoffs belongs to the ranking. If they have a good record, they still have home court advantage.

And the opponent in the second round is 100% the Eagles...

For the first time in NBA history, there are fans who don't really want their team to reach the second round...

Moreover, there are quite a few people who have such thoughts...

……

Liu Mang looked at the remarks of Cavaliers fans in basketball forums in North America, and felt that James should not be so vulnerable.

Definitely not that fragile.

After all, he is the future king of the league. If James is hit like this, he will definitely find a way.

Liu Mang's mind is now on the next game.

Seven games left!

After playing the Cavaliers, the Eagles got ample time to rest and prepare.

4号和5号两天休息，6号、8号、11号，连续三个主场打76人、太阳、湖人。

Before playing against the 76ers, on the 4th day, Liu Mang woke up early for morning running and after shooting practice, he rested at home, watched the game video, read the news, rested at home for a day, adjusted and adjusted, and the team did not arrange a training plan today.

but……

Liu Mang felt very upset when he saw that he was going to Miami tomorrow to play a game. He didn't train well this morning, but ran to his house with an old courtesan on the 23rd.

"LeBron, you are an athlete, eat so many sweets, be careful of gaining fat." Liu Mang complained.

If you want to talk about why Liu Mang thinks that James is not so fragile, it is because this guy has just finished shooting in the morning, and this guy came!

Liu Mang's mother made a lot of desserts for James that Liu Mang usually didn't want to eat. Some Americans may not be able to adapt to Chinese food, especially the authentic Chinese food prepared by a standard Chinese woman like Liu Mang's mother.

But sweets are the world, and there is nothing more tempting than sweets, and James eats them very well.

Hearing Liu Mang's words, James ignored him: Can't you eat more after being abused?I pay the bill when I go out to eat, why don't you eat something from your house?

"Don't pay attention to him, LeBron, you're still growing. Eat more. Children should eat more." Liu Mang's mother was very happy. She usually made these foods, and Liu Mang was not too late. The three girls and even the little Lolita were clamoring to lose weight. Today, a child who is said to be only 21 years old finally came and brought gifts. She was very happy to cook a lot of food.

Looking at James as if he wanted to impoverish his family, Liu Mang looked at James' face and really wanted to ask his mother: Is this a child?
