From today on is the king

Chapter 1193 1192. There Are One Hundred Ways To Prevent You From Death
"Because LeBron James successfully met the host in the playoffs, he challenged the host. The new generation of player king series tasks: the future is your trigger."

"The future is yours: When playing against LeBron James in the playoffs, the host needs to lead the team to sweep LeBron James 4-0 to lead the team, and after the sweep, say that famous sentence to LeBron James, planting a seed for LeBron James. Failure punishment: 1. If you fail to beat LeBron James' team in this series, the mission of the new generation king of players ends; 2. If you fail to sweep the team led by LeBron James, the suppression of LeBron James will continue until the next playoffs match meet."

When the game was about to start, Liu Mang received the task of suppressing James.

From the task, Liu Mang learned about James' current mentality. As long as he can win a game, James' heart will be greatly comforted.

James is not a person who is easily defeated. Even if he loses, he will find a way to solve it. Liu Mang looked at the description in the mission and planted a seed...Should he join or find a brother?

……

At 28:[-] p.m., Rasheed Wallace's roar of the gods detonated the atmosphere of the scene, and the starters of the two teams came to the field.

The Cavaliers sent a starting lineup of Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, and Big Z.

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

The Cavaliers players are in a very good state now, no matter whether it is physical or psychological, they are fearless.

If you win, you earn, and if you lose, you won't be scolded.

James represents the Cavaliers, James is a challenger, and the Cavaliers are naturally challengers, so they don't have much psychological pressure on whether to advance, but the strength of the Eagles puts them under pressure, and there is a manic atmosphere on the scene.

But it's the right thing to do. James is eager for one thing now, defeating Liu Mang, and removing the psychological pressure of never winning a game against Liu Mang.

On Liu Mang's side, there is only one goal, to sweep away!

jump ball!

Kwame Brown and Big Z came to the middle circle. The referee blew the whistle to start the game at 05:30 and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown won the jump ball from the head of Big Z, who was 10 cm taller than him, with excellent bounce speed.

Liu Mang received the ball and the Eagles went first.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, faced Larry Hughes' defense, passed the ball to McGrady, and started playing without the ball.

Compared to Liu Mang who will be restricted when he meets Larry Hughes, Larry Hughes is one of the rare defensive champions in the regular season this season who can prevent Wade, Kobe, and Carter from shooting less than [-]% of the field goals; on McGrady's side, it is much easier to receive the ball and face James.

After passing the ball, Liu Mang cut to the inside, compressing the Cavaliers' defense. McGrady received the ball, and first grabbed the ball with one hand and made a big loop.

James had long been prepared for the shameless behavior of several Eagles stars, and subconsciously raised his head to avoid it.

Taking advantage of James raising his head, McGrady swung halfway through the giant swing, and shot the ball behind James. At the same time, his body moved, his left leg moved to the right, and the long leg stepped behind James in the first step!

The first step is to step behind James with a long leg!The second step began to accelerate, and the third step directly threw James away!
James has worked very hard, but McGrady's pace is big, the timing is good, and the speed is getting faster and faster. Rao James, after McGrady found an opportunity in the first step, he couldn't stop him.

McGrady rushed directly into the three-second zone, and Big Z stretched out his hand to interfere. At the same time, he did not forget to stretch out his other arm to interfere with Kwame Brown's catch and eat.

The Cavaliers' research and preparation for the Eagles is much more adequate than the regular season. The key point is that Big Z tried hard to learn Yao Ming's defense against Kwame-Brown, and it really worked!
However, the Eagles also expected that Big Z would definitely imitate the defensive style of Yao Ming, who was about the same height. After McGrady entered the three-second zone, he did not pass or shoot directly. Instead, he slowed down and made fake moves.

At this time, Kwame Brown, who had no chance to catch the ball under the interference of the big Z, seemed to leave the three-second zone because he was about to attack for three seconds. McGrady grabbed the ball and shook it twice, and took off!
When Big Z saw Kwame Brown leave the three-second zone, he had no doubts about him. Seeing McGrady jumping up, he immediately raised his arms above his head and jumped vigorously. The standard vertical bounce interfered with McGrady's shooting space.

However, at this time, McGrady threw the ball towards Big Z's waist, and passed the ball around Big Z to the sky behind Big Z!
Liu Mang used Kwame Brown to block Larry Hughes, cut into the jump, pushed the ball with both hands in the air, and the ball floated gently into the basket!
The trio of Liu Mang, McGrady and Kwame Brown cooperated in a simple and direct way, scoring two points with one burst, one block and one pass.

As expected, the Cavaliers failed to defend against the Hawks' offense, and even felt like being played by the opponent's three All-Star starters. They had long been used to it, and Big Z immediately picked up the ball and sent it to James.

After Liu Mang and McGrady finished their cooperation, they retreated immediately. James had no chance to fight back with Larry Hughes, so he suppressed the rhythm and waited for Big Z to settle down in the frontcourt.

McGrady defended immediately after James arrived in the frontcourt.

Facing McGrady's defense, James made a crushing breakthrough!

McGrady's strongest first three steps, James can't guard against them, on the contrary, James' crushing breakthrough, McGrady can't guard against them.

James rushed to the inside, Kwame Brown was pulled to the bottom line by the big Z, and he was a little slower when he pounced back. When Prince retracted to help defend, James pulled the bar and licked the basket to score two points.

Fast and accurate!

James' biggest improvement this year is to greatly increase the success rate at the basket when the layup steps are limited to four steps.

The talent is there. When being oppressed to improve, James has improved his layup accuracy greatly.

Unable to guard, McGrady and Prince looked at each other, Prince nodded, and the other three players of the Eagles also understood what to do in the next round.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. This time, when Liu Mang went to the frontcourt, he found that James was guarding him.

This is something the Cavaliers have discussed many times. Using James to defend against McGrady and Larry Hughes to defend against Liu Mang, the result is that they can't defend at both ends.

But for a change, they think it’s better. James can’t defend McGrady’s breakthroughs with his size and faster and faster footsteps, but he has always done a good job on the outside line with strong impact resistance.

McGrady and Larry Hughes played against each other, and their performance was neither bad nor good. The two entered the NBA a year apart. McGrady averaged 20 points per game against him, with a 40.00% field goal percentage.

When Liu Reck went beyond the three-point line, James pressed up with his strong body, trying to use his defensive aggression to suppress Liu Reck. This is what he learned from Liu Reck during the All-Star Weekend.

As the saying goes, he taught his apprentices to starve to death as a master. Liu Mang guessed what James wanted to do when he saw James eager to try after changing defenses.

James was still too young. When he stepped forward with his thick bow legs, Liu Mang slapped the ball towards James' crotch. The cat waist passed by James, received the ball from himself, and rushed towards the basket quickly!
Larry Hughes turned his head away in pain, it was too miserable, he was pierced by the opponent before he even got close to the opponent.

Larry Hughes can limit Liu Mang's performance below normal level. James defends, and Liu Mang can obviously play above his average level. The gap between first-defense players and non-defense players is still obvious.

Liu Mang easily broke into the inside, and made a jump shot from the free throw line...

Liu Mang's shooting is a bit erratic. This season, he broke through so easily against the Cavaliers. He is not used to it. The main reason is that he is a little complacent, and hits the basket in the mid-range shot.

Big Z stuck Kwame Brown, and Gooden took Rasheed Wallace back in one step and grabbed a defensive rebound.

Seeing that Liu Mang didn't make a shot, James silently comforted himself, this guy didn't make a shot because he had defended himself.

Just that confident.

James received the ball from Gooden and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, but was blocked by Prince. James was not in a hurry, and the opponent's center returned to the defense very quickly.

Still falling into the positional battle, James was shocked when he saw that Prince was guarding him!
What James is least afraid of are skilled defensive players like Prince and Battier. In the original time and space, in the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals, James beat Prince to death, just like Prince defended the peak Kobe this season.

But today the Eagles used Prince to block James' fast break.

Because it was blocked by Prince during the counterattack, James subconsciously thought that Prince just happened to be on the Hawks side to switch him. This is an opportunity!
Prince is characterized by excellent defense against shots and fake moves. When James was looking for a shot from outside the three-point line, he found that there was no chance.
As soon as James stepped into the three-point line, he saw Prince retreating quickly, the kind that retreated directly towards the back, but James had already picked up speed, and Prince retreated James as confident as he could rush into the three-second zone.

At this moment, James found two people rushing towards him!
