From today on is the king

Chapter 1196 1195. The future is yours

In the past three years, the Cavaliers and the Hawks have played 12 times in the regular season. James has participated in 10 games.

After that, the Cavaliers never beat the Eagles again... In fact, except for the Cavaliers, many teams haven't won the Eagles since the 03-04 season.

The three-season winning streak of 70-68-73 is there.

This is one of them.

The second is that every time Liu Mang fights James, he tries his best to bully James.

Coupled with this long-planned and repeatedly considered strongest anti-James strategy, the Cavaliers are at a loss...

The words of ESPN's beauty writer gave James a lot of encouragement and drove public opinion.

Fans have always been very tolerant of young players, especially for third-year players like James who are only 21 years old, have been able to lead the team to the playoffs, and have played 30+7+7.

Only 21 years old, there are too few who can play James' performance. Jordan has not yet entered the NBA at this time.

Compared with Kobe's second team and first defense when he was 21 years old, James is barely comparable.

The only one who can perform better than Liu Wei when he was 21 years old is Magic Johnson, who won the championship MVP almost exactly one year earlier than Liu Wei.

ESPN forced a wave of rhythm and guided the direction of public opinion.

Not many people thought that the Cavaliers had a chance to win, so it was easy to drive the direction.

The difference is that when no one guides public opinion, James can't see those comforting words, and his little heart can't stand it even more. Now that he is guided, he can see those comforting words.

The news on the night of the game and what the fans said were all saying that James and Liu Mang were far behind and would never catch up.

Although the fans still say the same thing after the wind of public opinion changes, but the tone of voice is different, and the senses of the people who watch it are very different.

Everyone likes encouragement, not ridicule.

James saw that the whole world was encouraging him. Although he felt weird when he saw Liu Mang's words, he thought of some unknown things and became more confused, but his mentality improved a lot.

On May 5th, the second game of the series between the Eagles and the Cavaliers.

James looked very aggressive from the very beginning of the game, he really worked hard!
However, the effect is still mediocre. James' technical shortcomings will not improve overnight just because he is more diligent and encouraged by more people. There are still places that the Eagles can take advantage of.

第二场比赛刘莽拿到30分9板6助攻，麦迪拿到17分3板10助攻，贾森-特里14分，约什-史密斯13分6板，科沃尔13分，夸梅-布朗8分11板，老鹰队115比91，轻取骑士队拿下两连胜，2比0领先。

詹姆斯这场比赛26投7中拿到23分5板5助攻……

James' stats are more and more similar to those of James who was swept by the Spurs in the finals of the 06-07 season in Liu Mang's impression, and even worse...

He played very hard, but in the face of the Eagles' more proficient defensive strategy, the effect James played was not as good as the first game, and the Eagles entered a good state!
……

On the 12th, after two days of rest, the Eagles played their third game against the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

Big Z, who only scored 10 points in the first two games combined, broke out a little today, scoring 26 points and 12 rebounds, and beat Kwame Brown, mainly because the mid-range shot was very accurate.

However, it did not make much change to the Cavaliers, and the Eagles steadily suppressed the Cavaliers.

And Big Z puts more effort on the offensive end, and his defensive physical fitness began to decline. Kwame Brown scored 20 points and 8 rebounds. Kwame Brown did not do very well in rebounding today, but on the offensive end Kwame Brown can be seen as offsetting the 26 points that Big Z worked so hard to get.

尽管詹姆斯回到主场也拿到了第二轮的首个30+，全场27投12中拿到31分6板2助攻，打出了效率最好的一场比赛，可助攻数越来越少了。

The mentality of the Cavaliers players has collapsed!

Liu Mang scored 25 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, followed by Kwame Brown's 20 points, Tracy McGrady's 17 points and 7 assists, and Jason Terry's 19 points. The Eagles scored in double figures and maintained a steady lead to the end with 97 to 89 in the away game.

3 to 0, the Eagles did not have any accidents in the second round, and won the match point 3 to 0!
……

……

When that report came out, although it gave comfort and hope to the Cavaliers fans and James, for most of the Cavaliers players, it was actually the death knell.

No one believed they could win, nor did they themselves. It seemed that the Eagles had a little bit of a hard time winning the third game, only winning by 8 points, but that was the result of Big Z and James’ unwillingness to give up. The Cavaliers had a total of 89 points, of which James and Big Z scored 57 points. Including Larry Hughes’ 13 points, these three all scored 70 points, and the others added up to only 19 points.

The Cavaliers' lineup of more than 7000 million is already the salary that a championship-level team should have at this time. The Eagles' salary of more than 7000 million this season, if the Eagles win the championship this season, it will be the championship with the highest salary in NBA history so far.

But the Cavaliers have a lineup of more than 7000 million, and most of the players are poached from the expiring contracts of other teams.

James "waste teammate" real hammer...

After the argument of "James pays tuition" appeared in the first game, although the ratings of the game between the Eagles and the Cavaliers were high, the fans watched it calmly and calmly.

The fans in the other three rounds of the series were relatively less calm and noisy.

The series between the Nets and the Heat has always been very anxious. As long as Kidd can enter the playoffs, he is very competitive. In the first four games, the Nets and the Heat tied 2-2, especially in the fourth game.

The Lakers led the Suns 3-1. Seeing the Lakers leading the Suns 2006-3 in the 1 playoffs, Liu Mang began to silently cheer for the Suns... A 1-3 comeback against the Lakers is Nash's standard reversal!
It's just... Facing the Lakers with Yao Ming, the Suns are a bit miserable.

Not to mention that Yao Ming went to the Lakers. When Yao Ming was in the Rockets, the Suns couldn't do anything about Yao Ming. The Suns were so amazing last season, but they lost 3-1 to the Rockets in the regular season.

The most intense matchup between the Mavericks and the Spurs was the super power forward. The Spurs actually lost the first game, 87 to 89. Nowitzki, who scored 35 points and 15 rebounds, exploded. Nowitzki's rebounds in the playoffs simply exploded.

But in the second game, Duncan returned Nowitzki with 30 points and 20 rebounds. The Spurs beat the Mavericks 92 to 77.

After the third game between the Eagles and the Cavaliers, the Mavericks returned home to play the third game against the Spurs. The Mavericks returned the home court advantage they had grabbed. Ginobili scored a three-pointer to kill the Mavericks.

……

……

The other three series are very interesting. The Suns and Lakers are both worth watching. The Suns scored 122 points in one game and beat the Lakers by 24 points. If they can continue to explode, there is still suspense.

By May 5th, the fourth game of the series between the Eagles and the Cavaliers has been regarded by fans as the end of James' first playoff journey.

And it is.

In the first three games, Liu Mang still played offensively. I don’t know why McGrady was so excited in this year’s playoffs. He played very hard, both offensively and defensively. Liu Mang was also happy to give the ball away. He just shot and defended according to the established defensive strategy.

But in the fourth game, seeing that the Cavaliers were about to be swept away, Liu Mang couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and the first quarter exploded!
18 points in a single quarter!
In the first quarter of this game, Liu Mang scored two consecutive three-pointers, then used James to stick to the defense, broke through to the basket, and dared to go hard against the big Z, or made a layup on the inside or caused a foul after a successful shot. In the first quarter, Liu Mang made 10 of 6 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points in a single quarter!
The Cavaliers have completely collapsed, and James is still fighting. After all, he is an energetic young top star. He is unwilling to give up, but James' best helper Larry Hughes has no ball.

半场的打完的时候，刘莽拿到30分4板2助攻，老鹰队已经71比44，领先27分了。

71 points in the half is also a new high for the Eagles against the Cavaliers in the half. The Cavaliers are very defensive, but they did a good defense in the first three games, and they disappeared in the fourth game.

The game was scored in garbage time at halftime!
In the third quarter, the Cavaliers struggled a bit, and after the point difference was pulled to 30 points, they raised the white flag!

After Liu Mang scored 11 points in the third quarter, he was also replaced.

With 41 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Liu Mang scored 40+ for the first time in this year's playoffs!

Unlike Miami, Cleveland fans didn't leave the field until the end of the game. They knew they were going to lose after the first game, but they still didn't leave.

After the third quarter, James scored 15 points and 4 assists and was replaced. Due to some off-court factors, his mentality is very peaceful now, but he is at a loss.

There is no room for struggle at all!
To make a comparison, it's like James was excited to reach the finals in 2007 and was shaved by the opponent.

James averaged 24 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in this round of the series. It looks pretty good, but his shooting percentage is 30.00%.

James feels like he can't do anything...

James also never thought that he could become a player like Liu Mang. He firmly believed in one thing, that is, he believed in his physical fitness. He and Liu Mang were not the same type of player. Liu Mang needed more skills to have such strength and to play such stats, but James didn't need it. He could easily maintain an average of 27+7+7 per game with his body.

But now, James fully understands the importance of technique. When the body flow is restrained by the opponent, as long as he has such a proficient ability, such as three-pointers, mid-range shots, or footsteps at the basket, he can be better.

However, James thought that Liu Mang's three-pointer is the first in history, and his skills are getting better every year, and it is the kind of progress that is visible to the naked eye, and he is getting closer to the point where his offensive skills are 360 ​​degrees without dead ends.

James thought of himself... at a loss, his skills seem to be 360-degree dead ends...

Finally, the series is over!The Eagles beat the Cavaliers 131 to 95, 36 points, sweeping 4 to 0!

After the game, Liu Mang came to the court, and James followed. There was no hatred between the two teams, and there was no way to sweep. The gap in strength was too great.

When Liu Mang went up to hug James, he said: "LeBron, you have to believe that sadness is always inevitable. You will inevitably feel extremely depressed now, and even start to doubt your life, but it doesn't matter, the future is yours."

After Liu Mang embraced James with a dazed face, he turned and left in a cool manner.

James was encouraged to see Liu Mang who comforted him like a "warm big brother" after the game.

"The future is mine... wait, Ace seems to be only two years and four months older than me?"
