From today on is the king

Chapter 1448 1447. The Born King of the East

The painting style of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference...the difference is too big!

On the western side, Liu Mang was making sarcastic remarks in the confrontation between the iconic characters of the 96 generation... The attention of the western finals was all on the game itself.

And the east side...

Compared with LeBron James, who has been immersed in dance for a long time, although McGrady has a more comprehensive "Dancing King inheritance" from Liu Mang and has better "talent", but the accumulation of experience is also very important, and the energy and financial resources invested are also very important. James, who has a special "music and dance studio", won the first victory against McGrady in the first dance king battle with McGrady!

James won!
Beat Maddie!
This made the fans cheer thunderously!

The fans at the Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland said we didn't come to the game, we came to watch the dance, and James won the dance!

As for the competition...it hurts to talk about the competition, just take a look at it casually, don't take it too seriously, lest you have a myocardial infarction...

Watching the "dance battle" between two high school students three minutes before the competition, Liu Mang was speechless...

Liu Mang didn't care that much about the painful missions temporarily triggered in this round of the series.

"What's the big deal? It's a big deal to clear the star card. Anyway, only Kidd, Lillard, and Durant are left with the best player cards... Fortunately, I went to college. The IQ of high school students is really worrying. It's not shameful to lose it..."

……

It was almost 07:30, and Liu Mang sprinkled chalk into the air, which caused uneasy boos from the fans again, and came to the field with his starting teammates.

The Eagles sent Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown.

Playing against the Cavaliers, Rondo was replaced back to the starting position, and the Eagles used the rotation in the second half of the regular season this time.

On the Cavaliers side, the starting lineup of Damon Jones, Peja, James, Gooden, and Chandler debuted.

Snow... This season is completely old in the playoffs. Most of the regular season is okay, but in order to help the Cavaliers get the first place in the Eastern Conference, Snow burned out the last oil, just like Nowitzki, who was over the top in the regular season, completely withered in the playoffs. The Cavaliers can only start Damon Jones, a pitcher who cooperates well with James.

"Ding... The talent skill Natural King is triggered at level 1, from LeBron James."

"Natural King Level 1: LeBron James' team must enter the playoffs. When there is at least one All-Star teammate, it must enter the top four in the division. Features: King of Points Level 5, King's Hesitation Level 5...to be unlocked Feature: Dominance."

"King's Hesitation Level 5: There is a 50.00% chance of triggering when dealing with key balls. When the feature is triggered, the all-round ability is greatly reduced, and the desire to pass the ball is greatly increased."

"Scoring King Level 5: The strongest breakthrough scoring master in history, with the vision in the breakthrough scoring state that may be the strongest in NBA history."

As soon as he played, James gave Liu Mang a surprise!
和邓肯被评价为5级的天生王者从字面意义看当然还有很大的差距，毕竟邓肯是19年职业生涯除了第一次停摆赛季因为只有50场比赛没拿到50胜外，其他18个赛季，包括第二次停摆只有66场比赛，18年全部至少50胜。

But at least this means that James is about to enter his peak period!
As for the "King's Hesitation" which is very similar to Duncan's "Buddha Nature"...

People always have shortcomings, just like Kobe has "stubbornness", Milicic has "childlike innocence", O'Neal has "inertia", Tracy McGrady has "indisputable", Odom has "habitual distraction", Liu Mang himself always likes to irritate opponents...etc, everyone will have their own weaknesses.

But the strongest aspect of James has been evaluated by the system as a talent skill, which makes Liu Mang very excited. Maybe now James...is like that, but in the future, he will definitely become his strong opponent!

The atmosphere on the field became dignified because of Liu Mang's suddenly frenzied expression.

The seven-game battle against the Bulls in the second round gave the Eagles the biggest advantage, that is, it made them feel more oppressive and more eager for victory.

Losing to the Bulls in three games, and one more game would end the entire playoffs, allowing the Eagles players to experience the feeling of being almost eliminated. This feeling woke up the veteran Eagles players such as Tracy McGrady, Jason Terry, Kwame Brown, etc. who were a little bit flustered.

Seeing Liu Mang's eagerness to try, McGrady, who had a good time just now, also became serious. The Eagles starters felt Liu Mang's fighting spirit, and knew that this round of the series must be won happily, otherwise the boss will be unhappy...then let's fight!Let the opponent feel despair at the beginning of the first match!
The Eagles looked like they were going to fight... The players on the Cavaliers felt a bit cold...

They didn't know why Liu Mang, who had a painful expression just now, suddenly showed high spirits?
Could it be that it's a mess?
"What's the matter with us!"

This is the voice of the Cavaliers players.

Peja and Chandler, the two new stars who joined this season, and the core of James are okay. Although they lost all four games against the Eagles in the regular season this season, they are still very hardworking.

But last year's regular season + playoffs lost to the Eagles in eight games, and this year's regular season continues to be swept by the veteran Cavaliers... The game has not started yet, and my heart is cold...

Kwame Brown and Chandler come to the middle circle for a jump ball.

At 07:30, the referee blew his whistle on time and threw the ball into the air...

Kwame Brown leapt high and flicked the ball centimeters above Chandler's finger to win the jumper.

Game start!
Rondo catches a Kwame Brown jumper and sprints upfield.

The other four of the Eagles quickly sprinted toward the frontcourt.

Without Grant Hill, the Hawks are up to speed.

The Cavaliers' defensive position is not lost to any team, and they quickly retreated to a good defensive position. Mike Brown is also a very powerful defensive assistant next to James.

The Eagles pressed to the frontcourt collectively. After Rondo advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he did not choose to pass the ball or find cooperation, but rushed all the way to the three-point line!

Damon Jones knew that Rondo didn't shoot, so he chose to step back to defend, but Rondo was much faster than him, and Rondo quickly passed Damon Jones and rushed to the free throw line.

Rondo suddenly broke through and caught the Cavaliers by surprise. They were defending the rest of the Eagles who might cooperate with Rondo.

But I didn't expect Rondo to play like this!

Good thing they have Chandler!
Rondo broke into the inside line, and Chandler did not step up to block the defense in advance, but stayed under the basket, blocking the connection space between Rondo and Kwame Brown on the left side of the three-second zone.

Chandler has a very good defensive awareness and knows that Rondo has no shooting ability, so he is going to rely on his height of [-] meters to defend the two.

Rondo rushed to the inside line quickly, saw Chandler's defense, and without hesitation, he plunged into the basket, grabbed the ball in the right sideline of the three-second zone on the left side of Chandler's body, got up and made a layup...

Chandler didn't fall for it!He didn't jump up to block the block when he encountered a breakthrough like other physical insiders, he just stepped out and stretched out his arms to cover Rondo's shooting space.

Rondo, who is 1.8 meters five, and Chandler, who is 30 meters tall and has a height advantage of more than [-] centimeters, made good use of the height gap.

Sure enough, Rondo just lifted the ball up with his big hands, and immediately took it back, and punched Chandler's waist, who had stepped out of his left foot!

The direction is the direction of Kwame Brown on the left side of the three-second zone!
Chandler screamed that he was not good, and turned to block Kwame Brown on the left side of the three-second zone. Although he was not swayed by Rondo, he stepped out with his left foot and his center of gravity had shifted.

but……

When Chandler turned around and threw himself out, what he saw was Kwame Brown's envious eyes... He didn't catch the ball at all!No one moved towards the three-second zone!

"Oops!"

Chandler looked over his shoulder just in time to see the ball come down the rim.

In less than two seconds, Rondo made two fake moves, playing Chandler around!

"Ace Liu's signature inside one-on-one play!"

The fans at the scene immediately recognized Rondo's inside singles tactics this time. Isn't it because Liu Mang has played with the low footsteps used by their insiders for countless times to break through to the inside and face the inside?

The same exaggerated big hand, maybe even worse footwork, but better than Liu Wei's finishing ability at the basket!
After Rondo scored a goal, he still had a dead fish face, and turned around quickly to retreat.

The system is good and the positioning is accurate...but the Cavaliers have two defensive pits!
Rondo's breakthrough is not comparable to Nelson's. Damon Jones can follow Nelson with his agility, but he can't prevent Rondo!
When Rondo was preparing for the game, he had already thought about how to fight the opponent's point guard. He tried it this time and it was very successful!

Quick feints, quick shots, and Rondo scored two points before Damon Jones caught up!
Liu Wei did not expect that Rondo would play like this at the beginning of the game. Of course, he once said to Rondo, "You can play according to your own ideas, and I will cooperate with you", but he did not expect Rondo to surprise him again when he played in the Eastern Conference Finals in his rookie season!
Playing the inside combination of Garnett and Ben Wallace... Rondo can't play well, and the opponent's defensive efficiency is the first in history, too strong.

But the Cavaliers only rely on Chandler for inside defense and Larry Hughes and James for outside defense... Rondo used Liu Mang's most suitable offensive method that he has studied and practiced this season!
Rondo knew that his scoring ability was poor, and Liu Mang kept asking him to improve his advantage. After one year, he did it!
