From today on is the king

Chapter 867 866. Ace is jealous that I gave birth to a son!

Cleveland fans have been among the most passionate basketball fans in the NBA this year.

On James' birthday, nearly 1000 people in the audience all wore special Cavaliers team T-shirts with the words "LBJ Happy 20th Birthday" printed on it, which is enough to see how popular James is in Cleveland.

Although the Cavaliers reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the sixth year of their establishment, they have never been noticed. In the 90s, they also reached the Eastern Conference Finals and Jordan's Bulls reached the sixth game. Not many people still remember them.

It's different now, with James, the attention the Cavaliers have received has reached the highest level in the 35 years since the team was founded!
The league's third largest number of live broadcasts in the United States best reflects the completely different treatment and attention of the Cavaliers team after James.

After the Eagles players entered the field first, violent boos broke out at the scene.

When the Cavaliers entered the court, the cheers exploded, especially James, who felt like the King in Cleveland.

"Look at their fans. They have such a sense of team and love their stars so much. What else can our fans do besides blackmail me?" Liu Mang complained to Iguodala next to him.

"..." Iguodala didn't know what to say.

Before the game started, a special guest came to the scene, and the scene was detonated again!

Justin Timberlake!
Liu Mang knows this guy's name, he was the Best Pop Singer of the 2002th Grammy in 46!Now one of the hottest male singers in the United States, he came up and led the fans to sing birthday song for James!
This guy actually came to sing happy birthday to James!Liu Mang felt too...unhappy!

Seeing James go up and embrace warmly after Justin Timberlake sang the birthday song, and the two are very familiar, Liu Mang is envious and jealous!

This courtesan, whose petals fade early, is really good!

How many people are going to be pissed off?

He has only played in the NBA for more than a year, and he has such a good relationship with a world-class singer!
LeBron James, ability evaluation 89, offense 92, defense 82, three-pointer 67, mid-range shot 69, layup 99, speed 93, strength 90, rebound 80, pass 80...

Liu Mang looked at James' ability evaluation. He is so versatile. Except for the long-distance shooting, there is nothing wrong with it. The defense has not yet reached its peak, but it is also quasi-first-class. Except for three-pointers, mid-range shots, and free throws, there are no evaluations below 80. It is simply abominable!
Liu Mang is even more envious and jealous. This guy is so good in the second grade, and it seems that it is too easy to break through the 90 ability rating. This season may break through one day, and he is only 20 years old, which is much better than the 20-year-old blacksmith. Becoming a superstar is a matter of course, it is simply abominable!
Iguodala, who was next to him, saw the displeasure in Liu Mang's eyes, looked at the friend who had a good chat with the popular singer on the stage, and mourned for his friend...

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the game, which was broadcast live on ESPN, began immediately.

James is very excited today. His birthday night will be broadcast live across the United States, and his friends will come to help out. Even he doesn’t know this. It’s the Cavaliers that Justin Timberlake contacted to give him a surprise.

James feels that he is in the best state now, and he is in a happy state of mind and body. He wants to compete with Liu Mang on the court. What if he wins the hell?

However, the happy mood didn't last long. Under the urging of the referee, when he saw Liu Mang turned around and sprinkled chalk, he looked at him with malicious eyes!
That look is full of jealousy!
James was suddenly stunned. He didn't understand why Liu Mang was jealous. Now Liu Mang is the scoring leader and one of the three MVP favorites. The probability of winning the MVP is higher than that of O'Neal, second only to Nash. His record is now the top three in the league. Only the Suns and Pistons have a chance to compete with the Eagles.

What are you jealous about?
Could it be that he was jealous that he gave birth to a son?James thought of Rasheed Wallace who dreamed of wanting a son, and felt that Liu Mang was also because of this!

James didn't know it at all, it was because his communication skills were so good that Liu Mang was envious and jealous...

Liu Mang came to the free throw line on his side of the basket, waiting for Kwame Brown to go up and jump the ball.

For a team that is united as one, the mood of the boss of the team will arouse the emotions of the whole team. Seeing Liu Mang's serious expression and what Liu Mang said two days ago, the entire Eagles team is now full of evil spirits.

The Cavaliers sent a starting lineup of James, Jeff McGinnis, Newbell, Drew Gooden, and Big Z.

The Eagles are still the starting combination of Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

When Newbell saw Liu Mang's expression, he was so familiar. He was sure that someone on his side had offended him, and it didn't even occur to him that it was James, the team's strongest but youngest!
Although I don't know how James offended Liu Mang, but seeing the players of his old team who were driven by Liu Mang, all the players of the old club's team, Newbell felt that today was going to be miserable...

Not only Newbell, James, McGinnis, Gooden, and Big Z all swallowed their saliva after the Eagles settled down.

James can't figure it out!Two hours ago, the Eagles starters, who were good brothers, suddenly changed!He can understand Liu Mang's jealousy that he has a son, and he can understand Rasheed Wallace, but what do the others mean?Kwame Brown is not married yet, Prince has a son!Maddie also gave birth to a son...

Just when James entered the strange circle of logical thinking, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown won the jump ball from Big Z's head with absolute advantage, and won the jump ball in No. 13 consecutive games.

James saw Liu Mang running towards him after receiving the ball and throwing it to McGrady. He quickly blocked the three-point line and chased Liu Mang to defend.

After Liu Mang ran to the front court, he immediately moved towards the top arc. James quickly moved laterally to the left to follow between Liu Mang and the basket, ready to defend at any time.

But as soon as James moved sideways, he was blocked by a big guy!
Kwame Brown!In the fast-paced offense, he has become better and better at grasping the timing of the pick-and-roll that Liu Mang needs, which is entirely due to the training of Stockton and Malone.

Kwame Brown firmly blocked James, and James could only watch helplessly as Liu Mang's speed suddenly accelerated, and he rushed towards the inside line like lightning.

"Ding... Pick-and-roll master triggers at level 5, host speed +8, strength +8..."

Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line to receive a pass from McGrady, stepped half a step outside the reasonable collision zone, and took off!

"Ding... the strongest first step is triggered..."

Big Z retreated in time, defending the basket, seeing Gooden and Newbell, two teammates who were trying to intercept Liu Mang, being thrown away, seeing Liu Mang rushing to the free throw line to receive the ball, Big Z did not back down, stuck to the basket, waited for Liu Mang to take off, and rushed to block the block... Then his eyes went dark, his body was hit by a huge force and he couldn't help falling back, feeling like someone was sitting on his chest...

A second later, Big Z felt "dawn", and the feeling of being pressed on his chest disappeared, and what entered his line of sight was the back of Liu Mang turning around and running back.

It came so suddenly!

Just like the inside line who was dunked by Wade's lightning raid, he was already dunked without reacting at all!

Because those 1.9-meter-three guys have already penetrated deep into the basket, who would have expected them to suddenly burst into dunks?

The only thing that reminded Big Z that what he felt just now was indeed true, were the horrified eyes of his teammates and the boos of the fans at the scene...

Big Z knows that he scored five best goals today, but it is the one in the background!
Liu Mang returned to the backcourt, waited outside the three-point line, defended, of course he had to defend the opponent's perimeter...the least powerful one, with McGrady and Prince there.

"Ding...the fancy dunk is triggered at level 5. Due to the host's explosive dunk, the morale of the Eagles team has been greatly improved, and the morale of the Cavaliers has been completely suppressed."

At the beginning, Liu Mang's dunk made the teammates excited, and because of the influence of Liu Mang's skills, everyone's minds were very clear.

James is still playing the point guard position now. In the two years before the Cavaliers got Snow, James has been trained as a point guard.

James saw McGrady defending. It was the first time he saw McGrady defending so seriously after entering the NBA. Compared with Liu Mang and Prince, James felt that McGrady's defense should be the weakest. He decisively chose to attack... He was too careless!

McGrady took advantage of James' unpreparedness and didn't wait for his teammates to come up to attack. He stuck it up and quickly slapped the ball that had just bounced off James, and took the ball away!

James didn't catch the ball and rushed forward. The ball was hit by McGrady and bounced in the direction of Gooden and Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed Wallace grabbed the ball!

The Cavaliers retreated very quickly. James just doesn’t have Snow and Larry Hughes as two excellent defensive players as mentors. His defensive ability is not good, but his defensive enthusiasm is still very good.

The Cavaliers' tactic is James' breakthrough on the offensive end. James can't move Big Z, Gooden, and McGinnis are good in singles. They are a team that relies on defense to win.

When Rasheed Wallace passed the ball to Tracy McGrady, the Cavaliers had retreated past half court.

However, the Eagles did not press the rhythm to play their positions, and continued to run!Because Liu Mang has already run past halftime!
Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt with the Cavaliers team. After the Cavaliers retreated in place, they saw that there was another Liu Mang among their teammates!
Liu Reck went straight to the basket, and the Cavaliers quickly pinched up to block Liu Reg. The scene of Liu Reg dunking the big Z just now was too shocking, and the Cavaliers players were afraid when they saw Liu Reck rushing inside.

McGrady and others also rushed over at this time. McGrady saw Liu Mang attracting the opponent's twin towers at the free throw line, saw Kwame Brown cut in from his right side, and decisively passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace who had just run to the left of the top arc. Rasheed Wallace received the ball and shot a three-pointer...

Bang... No entry!
But Kwame Brown rushed to the basket, and Liu Mang squeezed between Gooden and Big Z. He didn't hit the offensive rebound, but he kicked his right foot on the ground, and opened his hands to resist the opponent's two major centers.

"Ding... Rock-solid level 5 trigger, when grabbing rebounds for teammates, 20.00% five chances to perfectly block opponents..."

Fortunately, because of his positive attitude and the effects of Iron Foot Kungfu and Iron Mountain Back may have an additional bonus to this skill, Liu Mang blocked the two-tower combination of the opponent's two centers!
Kwame Brown easily grabs the offensive rebound and directly jumps and smashes the ball into the basket!

Kwame Brown saw Liu Mang actively blocking for him and letting him grab rebounds, he was so touched: "Boss really still loves me!"He just rebounded me that day because he was upset playing Kidd...

However, Liu Mang was so active only for the Hammer Cavaliers to avenge someone in the top five picks of the 03 generation who defeated him, to retaliate against James, which cost him $[-], and to retaliate against James for having a popular singer sing birthday song to him, which stimulated him...

The start was 4-0!

Liu Mang turned around and returned to defense immediately after Kwame Brown made a dunk. Defense is the last word.

The offensive and defensive transition, the Cavaliers attacked, James still kept leaving, advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and continued to prepare for a breakthrough offense.

This time James is prepared. McGrady is now focusing on single defense and assists. Although scoring and rebounding are not as good as before, the single defense effect is indeed top-notch. The assists are also ranked second in the league due to the excellent lineup.

James' breakthrough is really powerful. As long as he protects the ball, except for Kobe, who is now muscle-exploding, Artest, who has been suspended for the season, and the Celtics' Phoenix, no outside line can hold his breakthrough.

McGrady can't stop it!

However, McGrady never thought that a single defense could prevent James' breakthrough, so McGrady chose to block James directly.

James changed direction and prepared to pass McGrady easily, and he protected the ball very well during the breakthrough process when he was on guard!
But as soon as James changed direction and accelerated, he was blocked again!

Liu Mang, who was defending Newbell, came up to double-team the first time!

The last time McGrady stole Liu Mang's counterattack and ran a little slower, it was because he rushed to block James, but failed to block...

McGrady and Liu Mang blocked James at the free throw line. James passed the ball to the vacant Newbell. Rasheed Wallace had already switched, and Newbell passed to Gooden.

Super fast defensive rotation enhanced after learning from the Mavericks and Bulls!
Worried about James' N-step layup inside, why not let him go inside?

This is the same reason that James will be defended by the Spurs in the future, but at that time the Spurs had Leonard who could block James in the middle and long distances. The Eagles did not have such a strong player in the starting lineup, but the Eagles can make up for this shortcoming with fast defensive rotation. The Hawks' starting lineup can completely do this!
The ball was passed back and forth, and finally it was passed to James, who was stuck by Liu Mang. James couldn't get into the interior, and was flanked when he broke through. Seeing that the 24-second attack time was coming, James could only step on the three-point line to shoot...

"Bang..."

Iron!

Liu Mangyue stepped inside and grabbed a defensive rebound with Kwame Brown carrying the big Z. The new cavalry company charged and started again!

In the next few minutes, the Cavaliers fell into hell mode from the very beginning of the game. The Eagles' super defense made the Cavaliers helpless!
With James blocked, the Cavaliers are basically over!

The Cavaliers called two timeouts at the beginning, but it was useless. The Eagles' defense made the offensive end rely on the sky except for the three-point line. There was no way to do it.

Big Z has singles, but he can't catch the ball!Although he is as tall as Yao Ming, he doesn't have Yao Ming's positional ability. Whether it's shooting or singles skills, positioning ability, even rebounding and assists, he is inferior to Yao Ming. From the statistics and honors, it can be seen that he can't play the role of Yao Ming in the NBA. Except for two All-Star substitutes, he has no other honors. The statistics of the best year of his career are not as good as Yao Ming's career average statistics.

Kwame Brown's defense against Yao Ming is terrible, but he defends against Big Z very well. James can only shoot from the outside or pass it to McInnis to shoot from the outside. Gooden on the other side is also defended to death.

When the official timeout of the first quarter came, the Eagles played a wave of 7 to 18 in 6 minutes!

Only relying on McGinnis and James to throw a few blind throws into a three-pointer, there is no other score!
……

Liu Mang's "accomplice" coach Kruger is carrying out a rotation strategy against James, replacing Liu Mang, Iguodala, Josh Smith, Muhammad, and Mourning in the lineup.

Compared to the Eagles who are now tired and can make five ups and downs, the Cavaliers only replaced Big Z, a center with poor physical fitness, and let Gooden play center, replacing James, McGinnis, Newbell, Robert Traylor, and Gooden.

Why is it said that James is miserable in the early stage of the Cavaliers? It is because he now has five teammates with starting strength. In addition, the Cavaliers have only six starting players. The small forward Luke Jackson, who they selected in the summer with high hopes, was originally trained as a starting small forward, but his strength is outrageous.

That’s right, this is another white small forward, Larry Bird’s successor... But since he entered the NBA, he has averaged 1.9 points and 0.9 rebounds per game, 20.00% three-point shooting percentage, and 17.00% field goal percentage. However, this is the Cavaliers. The No. 8 pick... After him there is Luol Deng...

Back from the timeout, the Cavaliers have the ball.

"Go up and defend No. 23, don't care about anything else, just fuck him!" Liu Mang told Josh Smith when he entered the court.

Josh Smith was afraid of being scolded, so he nodded decisively. In yesterday's training and today's tactical training, the task he got was to practice how to block James!
James pushed forward and saw that guy who was very similar to himself and also a high school student had an expression on his face that he wanted to eat him...

James had the same feeling in his heart as when he played against the Eagles last season: The Eagles are all devils!
