At 6:40 pm on November 1st, at Phillips Arena, the two sides fighting tonight began to enter the stadium.

A rising star who is booed wherever he plays on the road is LeBron James.

At this stage, fans who like James like him very much and are very protective of him, but those who don't like him very much dislike or even hate him.

Mainly because the treatment is too excessive!

He is only in the third grade, has not played in the playoffs to prove himself, and is treated better than the league's veteran superstars. The league's excessive praise of James has indeed made James quickly become a popular rising star in the American sports world, gaining a large number of fans.

But it also gave James a lot of negative fans prematurely.

Generally speaking, if a third-year star who is not yet 21 years old plays well, the fans will be more tolerant.

But James was caught between praise and attack early on.

Some media are advocating that James will reach the top this year and surpass Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady. This conclusion was drawn from the fact that James averaged 34 points per game in the first two games.

As soon as this argument came out, James encountered a lot of criticism.

No, even Eagles fans were offended.

Liu Mang's face didn't change when he saw James being booed. He is really a calm old boy. He looks good when he is old, and he is honest.

The Cavaliers played very well at the beginning of this year and have made great progress compared to last year. The Eagles naturally attach great importance to it. Among the four consecutive home opponents at the beginning of the year, the Eagles are not focusing on the 76ers and Nuggets.

team, but the Cavaliers.

For such a rising team, we don’t know how far they can rise. We can only slowly watch their performance throughout the season.

The Eagles played against the Cavaliers for the first time in the new season. Yesterday morning and the afternoon before yesterday, the Eagles conducted specific tactical training for the Cavaliers' opening game against the Boomer Wizards, which they won 100 to 77 by 23 points.

Liu Mang took a look at the strength of the Cavaliers' players in the new season.

Zaydrunas Ilgauskas, with an ability rating of 82, has a mid-range shot and some low-post singles ability.

Drew Gooden, with an ability rating of 79, is also a mid-range shooter, has a certain ability to play in singles, and is fierce in rebounding.

Eric Snow, his ability evaluation is 78, his offense is weak and his defense is strong, his defensive evaluation is the highlight, reaching 85.

Donyel Marshall has an ability rating of 77. He is still a high-quality role player at the age of 32. He is good at three-point shooting. He has a three-point rating of 87. He has excellent rebounding and no passing ability.

Damon Jones has an ability evaluation of 73. He is good at three-pointers and has a three-point evaluation of 85, but he does not have many other abilities and is deteriorating rapidly. He is only 30 years old and his strength has begun to plummet. His ability evaluation has dropped from 78 last season to 73.

Andre Varejao has an ability rating of 74, excellent rebounding, and a positive style of play.

Ronald Murray, ability evaluation 78, no shooting ability, good breakthrough. In the past, the Sonics did not get the main ball-handling player before Francis. He was considered a bankrupt version of Francis. He was a second-round pick in 2002, before Francis went to the SuperSonics.

In the 2003-04 season, he averaged 12 3 4 per game as a sophomore. However, with Francis, he almost sat on the bench for almost a season last season. After his rookie contract ended, the Sonics did not want him. The Cavaliers signed him with a minimum salary.

The performance in the first two games of the season was pretty good.

In addition to these people, there are also forward players such as Alexander Pavlovich and Luke Jackson who can shoot.

In addition to trading Larry Hughes, a swingman with no shooting ability and a maximum salary, so that James and Larry Hughes have some overlapping positions, the Cavaliers' goal is very clear, to arrange a lot of shooters around James.

And a group of players who can defend, build a team around James.

At this stage, the incompatibility between Larry Hughes and James has not yet been exposed. After looking at the Cavaliers' lineup, Liu Mang understood why the Cavaliers played so well in the first two games, mainly because...

Larry Hughes is injured.

The Wizards accepted a second-round draft pick to help Larry Hughes go to the Cavaliers. In addition to the fact that Larry Hughes was a completely free agent and the trade was somewhat rewarding, the Wizards did not want to keep this player who followed Jordan to the Wizards.

players, and there are injuries. Larry Hughes's right elbow joint was seriously injured, and he was tough enough that he didn't go for medical treatment until after the playoffs.

Larry Hughes is not good at shooting, but this does not affect his worth.

James has made great strides in progress every year; Big Z cut his salary and renewed his contract, giving the Cavaliers a chance to operate, and got Larry Hughes' Bird Rights to renew his contract with a maximum salary; he found a former leader who couldn't practice three-pointers

Sonics player Ronald Murray; Drew Gooden, although he has no talent to dig out, started his rookie year at about 12.8, and has always had such statistics, but it is stable enough; the late lottery pick was acquired from the Hawks

Lejo, to supplement the deficiencies in the interior; the full mid-level team acquired forward Donyel Marshall, who had hit 12 three-pointers in a single game, as the sixth man; signed the Heat who performed well in the regular season despite being a cheat in the playoffs last season.

Quality three-point shooter Damon Jones...

The most important thing is that Liu Mang saw the Cavaliers head coach, Mike Brown, who worked as a defensive assistant for Rick Carlisle last season...

When Liu Mang saw this coach, he knew that James' breakout era had begun.

Liu Mang doesn't know how to describe Mike Brown's coaching ability, but his presence did help James form his own style.

James' team looks a bit better. Can they meet in the playoffs this year?

Liu Mang felt that he was getting more and more excited, and quickly suppressed his excitement: "You are becoming more and more like Los Angeles. No, I have to calm down..."

…

"Andre, how about playing with LeBron?" Liu Mang and Varejao hugged each other and asked.

After the players from the two teams entered the stadium, the veteran players from last season from the Eagles and Varejao from the Cavaliers hugged and said hello.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the fans at the scene were unhappy with the Cavaliers and James, they also gave Varejao some applause.

"LeBron is a good teammate. He is like Tracy. He will pass the ball to me when I have the opportunity." Varejao said that he was doing well.

Varejao came to the Cavaliers, which was relatively weak inside, and had stable playing time. He played more than 15 minutes in the first two games and was Big Z's first substitute. James likes to pass the ball, and Varejao is also one of the beneficiaries.

, the first two games were 8 points and 4 rebounds and the other was 6 points and 6 rebounds, and the scores were all in the cake.

Although Varejao didn't have many opportunities to play with the Hawks last season, McGrady still passed a lot of balls to him last season. His style of play didn't change much. The more playing time, the better his statistics. After all, his height and rebounding

The talent is there.

Liu Mang was happy to see that his old teammates were doing well. Although the relationship between him and Varejao was definitely far behind the original old teammates, after playing for a season and winning the championship together, it was better than usual.

A season of deep feelings.

"Very good, it's good to have playing time. We have too many people on the team, and you have won the championship. Go out and play hard to train yourself...wait a minute," Liu Mang also wanted to encourage Varejao like a senior, but suddenly felt

Something was wrong, and he said angrily: "Andre, what do you mean? Tracy will pass the ball to you, didn't I pass it to you?"

Varejao is so embarrassed. What impressed him most last season was McGrady’s passing, which led him in assists!

At this time, Jason Terry came up: "Ace, I remember I looked at the cooperation analysis of our team last season. Andre did not receive an assist from you, not even once."

"..." It was so embarrassing that Liu Mang forced to change the topic: "Andre, come on, look, the boss is here, your championship ring..."

After some pleasantries, Eagles owner Price took out the championship ring engraved with Varejao's name, and Liu Mang helped Varejao put the championship ring on.

When Liu Mang was putting a ring on Varejao, he felt a gaze and turned around to see it was James.

Liu Mang made a V-sign with his left hand towards James, seemingly to say hello, but James understood!

This is what two championship rings mean!

The game hasn't even started yet, but the smoke has already started!

At this time, Varejao ran directly to the visiting team's locker room. People usually gave the ring to the team staff to put in the closet. Varejao was afraid that the ring would be stolen, so he ran to put it away...

…

…

As Rasheed Wallace roared, Liu Mang was about to throw magnesium powder into the air when he saw the lights turned on and James and Prince were dancing!

James really didn't expect such a good opening move, so he might as well dance. Recently, "NBA court dance" has become popular in the United States. James met Prince, the "NBA court dance promotion ambassador", and started dancing together.

Liu Mang looked at the magnesium powder in his hand and felt that he had driven James to a dead end!

After thinking about it, Liu Mang threw the magnesium powder into the air and went on stage!

After James and Prince finished their dance, they looked at each other, and it was written in their eyes: They are indeed masters.

Then they separated, and today the two faced each other, and the competition started with the fighting dance.

The Hawks sent out a lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown, which was very stable.

For the Cavaliers, Larry Hughes will not return until January at the earliest, and Eric Snow, Damon Jones, LeBron James, Drew Gooden, and Big Z will appear.

Although the Cavaliers are back-to-back, the season has just begun. It’s the first back-to-back of the season, so it won’t have much impact. The Cavaliers also want to win!

It's been two years and I haven't beaten the Eagles once, so of course I want to win.

However, the Eagles took the lead at the beginning. Kwame Brown easily won the jump ball from the head of Big Z, and the Eagles took the lead.

Liu Mang received the jump ball, immediately passed it to McGrady, and quickly ran towards the frontcourt.

Fight quickly!

The Cavaliers' twin towers move slowly but defend well. The Eagles don't want to be dragged into their rhythm by the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers, who only scored 100 points in a big win like a 23-point victory, have become very good defensively after acquiring Mike Brown this season, mainly because James studied with Eric Snow for a year and served as Tracy McGrady's assistant.

After more than a month of practicing dueling opponents, my defense has improved a lot and is now close to first-rate.

Although Snow is getting old and his data has plummeted, his defensive efficiency has not declined. The main reason is that his offensive data has dropped and he no longer has the ball in his hands.

Snow's defensive rating is 85, and James's defensive rating is 84, which means Larry Hughes is missing. Otherwise, it would be one of the teams with the best perimeter defense among the 30 NBA teams.

When playing against a team like this, we cannot be dragged into a positional battle and slowly wear down the team.

Liu Mang quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and when he was about to approach the three-point line, Eric Snow suddenly pushed towards Liu Mang and retreated as soon as he touched it. Liu Mang wanted to move sideways to find an open space, but was suddenly blocked.

Forced to stop!
