From today on is the king

Chapter 1446 1445. Facing the Difficult Little Emperor
How can a star use data to comment on another star?
Liu Mang did just that.

As for Liu Mang's all-time reputation, no matter what he does, as long as he does not violate moral issues, everyone who knows him, even sports fans who only know that there is someone like him, thinks it is normal, because he is such a person.

There are always many paradoxes in people's logic.

Just like Liu Mang himself knows that winning is king. Most of the time, shooting percentage has nothing to do with winning or losing. Just like James, in the first four games of the second round, his average shooting percentage actually exceeded 50.00%. Among the players who averaged 20+ per game in the second round, only five players had a shooting percentage of more than 40.00%. It can be seen that the breakthrough and scoring that he is best at is limited to the extreme.

As for Kobe, he averaged 40.00% from the field in the entire playoffs this season. His average field goal percentage in the regular season this season is 40.00% 40.00. His performance is almost the same. This has always been his most praised point.

But after being compared by Liu Mang... people found that this guy is really good!

There are not many free throws, because Kobe's style of play has always been rigid, and he doesn't bother to make fouls, especially with Liu Mang as his mortal enemy, he is unwilling to play with a similar style of play.

Last season when he averaged 36 points per game, Kobe averaged only 10.2 free throws per game. His free throw percentage was 80.00%.

With such a style of play and such scoring performance, Kobe certainly has a lot of strikes.

Moreover, Liu Mang also compared Yao Ming, who had a shooting percentage of more than [-]% in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, with Anthony, who had a shooting percentage of just [-]% and scored more points than Kobe Bryant. He also compared the number of assists with Iverson...

Liu Mang didn't say it clearly, but after thinking about the fans and the media, they will understand what Liu Mang meant.

"This guy shoots less, hits less iron, lets Yao Ming, who has a super high shooting percentage, shoot more, and he has already won..."

This is what the media interpreted.

That night, after the first game of the Western Conference finals, Iverson was depressed in his hotel room in Los Angeles. After seeing the news about this matter on TV, he excitedly called the front desk of the hotel and asked them to open a bottle of wine worth 10,000+ dollars...

"Ace is really cute!" Iverson yelled and toasted.

The style of play has changed, and the attitude of not loving training has also changed a lot, which is the key to Iverson's ability to shine to another peak.

But the problem of drinking and intemperance with money...the situation remains the same.

……

Making Kobe unhappy may affect Kobe's mood in the next series and cause trouble for the Lakers, which is what Liu Mang wants.

Although the probability is not high, it would be even better for Liu Mang if the problem of the number of shots can affect the relationship between the four-person group of "adding more medicine".

.

The comments from the media and fans are also mainly based on ridicule. Of course, the media will definitely "guess" the situation within the Lakers about the shooting issue with malicious intent and guide public opinion.

The fact that three people become tigers is terrible. If the Lakers players really believe it, they all think they have such thoughts, and it suits Liu Mang's wishes.

Moreover, even if nothing happened, but Kobe was unhappy alone, Liu Mang felt good about it...

Although Liu Mang's shooting percentage in the last round was worse than Kobe's. Kobe still had a 40.00% shooting rate in the last round, while Liu Mang only had 40.00%. In fact, the average points per game of the two in the second round were actually similar. Kobe averaged 30.5 points per game.

But... Kobe couldn't bear to make the same response.

This is where Liu Mang is confident, he knows that this guy wants to save face.

However, also in the storm of public opinion is Liu Mang's opponent in the next round - LeBron James.

On May 5, the Cavaliers had a day off and were about to usher in the first game against the Eagles in the Eastern Conference Finals.

This is the first time the Cavaliers have reached the Eastern Conference finals again after 90 years since they played against Jordan's Bulls in the 15s.

可是这次打进东决，与75-76赛季他们靠着绝对均衡、有七个球员场均得分上双的阵容靠着战术打进东决；与曾靠着力压斯托克顿、蒂姆-哈达威、乔-杜马斯三个巨星与乔丹一起入选92-93赛季最佳阵容第一阵的马克-普莱斯和布拉德-多赫迪、拉里-南斯的三巨头在91-92赛季打进东决不同。

This time the Cavaliers, people think they should have been eliminated in the second round, they will never be recognized in the East, and James is suffering from the devastation of public opinion.

This kind of public opinion that is just right and can't press James forward but makes him mentally problematic makes him don't know what to do, so he can only train with his head down.

In the first game between the Lakers and the Nuggets yesterday, the Cavaliers, who only had one day off, did not train. They played a tiebreaker in the second round. They had to slow down their physical fitness, but James has been training.

In particular, Liu Mang's focus turned out to be on the western side. Apart from saying that the eastern part is his territory, he didn't express any opinion on the Eastern Conference finals, which made James very frustrated.

"Be looked down upon by superstars"

This is what James thinks now.

James is a very delicate person who cares about the opinions of the media very much. This is also the case in the original time and space. In the original time and space, after losing to the Celtics twice in 2008 and 2010, he felt that he would never win the Celtics. The special man is getting old, that way, he won't have to risk the infamy of hugging his thigh, and he won't lose the "favor" of the league because of all the public opinion attacking him. At his peak, he could rank first in the Eastern Conference with any group of teammates, and he also has a high probability of three consecutive MVPs.

But his fragile heart made him choose to escape...and also caused an indelible black spot in his career.

His fragile and delicate heart makes James feel that everyone in the world looks down on him now, and he also feels very innocent. He just wants to seize every opportunity to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. He didn't think he did anything wrong at the time.

But now, he began to doubt himself...

It was mainly because of Liu Mang's existence that he felt the invincible fear two years in advance.

Originally, he only had this emotion when he was beaten by the Celtics in the playoffs in 2008, but now he has it.

Moreover, Liu Mang didn't discuss the second round. The storm of public opinion he encountered was similar to the situation in the original time and space from 2008 to 2010. The direction of public opinion was different, but it was unbearable for him and not to the point where he wanted to "break and then stand".

For Liu Mang, this level of psychological torture for James was just the right level he wanted.

On the afternoon of the 21st, at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland, the two teams for tonight's game conducted tactical training at home and away.

The Eagles have to rest for an extra day, but the rest time for the first day is still in Chicago. They just arrived in Cleveland yesterday, so the training time of the two teams is the same, and they can only start training on the day of the game.

"LeBron, take a break, there is a game tonight." Chandler said to James who wanted to practice more after the team's tactical training.

"I see, Tyson." James forced a smile.

What makes James happy now is that he got two teammates, Chandler and Peja.

Chandler is the kind of teammate anyone would love, and his work ethic is admirable.

No matter what team he is in, Chandler will work hard to help the team win and make contributions.

Just like in the original time and space when the Mavericks played against the Lakers in the playoffs in 2011, Chandler, as a Californian, went to high school in Los Angeles and won the California State Championship.

Chandler was also one of the players who dissed James back then. James didn't like him at the beginning, but he treated Chandler with the mentality of having good teammates and getting along well, just like recruiting Garnett last summer.

But after getting along for a long time, James has seen the good side of Chandler's character. He grew up on a farm, milking cows, raising pigs, and growing corn and okra...etc.

Although James is annoying at this stage due to various personal or external reasons, just like the people in the network that James took the initiative to expand appreciate him, Chandler and James were also attracted by his maturity and hard work after they partnered. The two became friends after a year.

Unlike Peja's kind-hearted Europeans, the two hit it off with the same smell.

Feeling Chandler's concern, James felt better psychologically.

Thinking of the scary big brother he will face in another four hours, James is not so afraid anymore.

"The most difficult things always need to be faced!"
