Liu Mang is getting more and more excited about playing games with James.

Mainly because this guy is progressing really fast!

There is motivation only when there is pressure. Because of the pressure brought by Liu Mang, James was targeted by other opponents for taking one more step for a layup. Because the league forced him to limit his layup steps to four steps, which gave other opponents the opportunity to target him, James was

Press forward.

In addition to shamelessly taking advantage of the league's favoritism and not being mentally strong enough to start the peak grouping mode, James is indeed not guilty from other angles. Whether it is deliberately to create a good image or for other reasons, James has shown his professional attitude and training efforts from the beginning of his career.

He did very well both in terms of his basketball skills and how he dealt with people. Later on, he got used to it and has maintained this basketball attitude and way of dealing with people.

In the original time and space, after Kobe retired, he was the star that basketball fans born in the 70s, 80s, and 90s most loved to recall. In the future, James will also become the most cherished star born in the 80s and 90s. Neither of them is the same. Kobe and James represent

It holds the memories of fans of that era.

At this stage, fans and media are already advocating for a fight between Liu Mang and James, and a battle between Kobe and James to be the number one player in American basketball. However, neither Kobe nor Liu Mang have a bad relationship with James.

Mainly because the three of them are the same type of people, and all three of them have the goal of becoming the strongest.

Since James became less tolerant of him due to the determination of layup rules at the beginning of the season, his strength has been "restricted" for a time. In fact, it means that he has returned to more close to his normal level, with one more step for layups and referees.

If he takes a few extra steps without any sense of restraint, his playing style that uses the rules will definitely be greatly restricted, but a genius is a genius. After all, he is the only one in the NBA who is used to taking an extra step, and the four-step layup is gradually being used by him.

It's getting better and better. After fifty or sixty games, James has regained his ability evaluation of 93!

"LeBron James, ability evaluation 93, offense 92, defense 84, passing 86, rebound 82, three-pointer 79, 61 mid-range shot, 94 layup, speed 92, strength 90..."

Liu Mang looked at James who was dancing with Prince. He was really a scary guy!

True talent is visible to the naked eye!

I just told him that I should strengthen the skills I am good at, and he really became stronger, and his three-point shooting is close to first-rate!

Thinking of this guy shooting three-pointers farther and farther in the future... Liu Mang felt that the strongest opponent in the future was really this guy.

He is only 21 years old... He will probably be a superstar next season, which is simply scary!

Liu Mang still has some small expectations for the scary James...

For James, playing against the Hawks is something that makes him both happy and heartbroken.

He was very excited to play against Liu Mang and always wanted to counter Liu Mang. Moreover, playing against Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, he could learn a lot by watching the way they played.

Learn Liu Mang’s understanding of tactics and learn how Tracy McGrady uses his talents.

However, what makes Liu Mang heartbroken is that Liu Mang gets more excited when he sees him. He fucks him to death every time. It is too difficult to win. The Eagles may relax against many teams, but against them, they are the top five picks of the 03 generation.

After the team never paid attention to the Nuggets and lost once due to fatigue, meeting a team led by the top five picks of the 2003 generation is like being beaten to death.

So, what James is thinking now is...

Might as well dance!

James initially refused to rely on the title of "Lord of the Dance" to attract popularity and make money, but now, he feels the increase in off-court income.

Even Prince relies on square dancing, and his off-court income in the past two years has reached more than 7 million US dollars, which is higher than his US$1 million sneaker endorsement and first-round pick contract income combined!

And...it is certain that Prince's future contract will not be higher than the off-site income brought by square dancing.

James is very jealous. From a basketball business perspective, he doesn't have to think about competing with Liu Mang. He simply can't compete. Here in the United States, James may be about the same popularity as Liu Mang and slightly better than Kobe, but his reputation is not that good.

Hey, for the sake of Liu Mang's face, Nike will not increase the endorsement fee for James. At that time, Nike did not understand why Liu Mang insisted on 90 million plus US$1 for the endorsement fee, but after James signed the contract, he understood that it was

Uncle Weiss had long anticipated James' endorsement fees and wanted to make Liu Mang the star with the highest endorsement fees in the basketball world.

It seems that this is not important, but it is very important for Liu Mang's commercial endorsement. For the brands that Liu Mang endorses together with other stars, Liu Mang almost always has the highest endorsement fees, just because he started with Nike.

In terms of sneakers, if James doesn't win an MVP or a championship, it will be difficult to surpass Liu Mang. On the contrary, after James became the King of Dance this year, he has many more endorsements and his sneakers are selling better...

Unlike fans in other places who advocate the opposition between Liu Mang and James, Atlanta and Cleveland fans get along very harmoniously. Hawks fans like James quite a lot, mainly because they meet this guy's team. The Hawks basically have one more win...

…

Seeing James and Prince dancing, the fans at the scene were booing.

As for James, his management team hired a lot of dance teachers to help him design dance steps.

If a star wants to be popular, he needs a personality.

Kobe's character is "paranoid". Although Kobe himself doesn't know why his character has become so popular, especially since he is more popular overseas than Jordan, but once he is popular, he is popular. His character is paranoid.

Liu Mang's character is "shameless". Liu Mang is very annoyed by this character, but he is closer to the behavior pattern of ordinary people and is loved by many fans. Of course, he is more controversial than Kobe and Jordan.

James was initially set up as a "future king", but gradually he became a "crab". He was very popular but not very well received. Those who liked him said he would definitely be good in the future at a young age, and those who didn't liked him said he would be good in the future.

Go dark into death.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now James has a new persona, "Bliss Dance King", this persona is much more likable, and he and his management team want to maintain it well

This persona will become more popular in basketball until it surpasses this persona.

and……

After getting used to this character design, James thinks it's pretty good...

Prince didn't have enough money to hire a dance teacher, so he mainly figured it out on his own. After James launched a new version of the dance moves from Pure Land, Prince pestered Liu Mang and got some more dance moves.

Now the "battle for King of the Dance" between James and Prince has entered a fever pitch.

As for who becomes the king of kings in the end, it all depends on the fate of the future...

…

After a wave of awkward dancing, as Rasheed Wallace's roaring video ignited the already enthusiastic fans, the game between the Eagles and the Cavaliers officially began.

For the Eagles, Rasheed Wallace rested on the inside, McGrady took a rest on the outside, and Liu Mang, Prince, Horry, David Lee, and Kwame Brown appeared.

On the Cavaliers side, the lineup of Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, and Big Z appeared.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, threw the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown once again won the jump ball.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. The Cavaliers' perimeter defense combination, which was probably second only to the Hawks in the Eastern Conference, put a lot of pressure on him.

Snow, Larry Hughes, James, two near-first-class defensive masters and one top defensive master, the defense of this combination is really nothing to say, and it can barely be regarded as a poor version of the defensive combination of James and Way.

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, he faced Larry Hughes' defensive defense. He saw that Snow and James were defending Prince and Horry in a pressing manner and did not give them a chance to catch the ball. He learned that the other party's "defensive assistant coach"

Mike Brown incorporated the defensive style of the "Loving Janeway" defensive combination he created during the All-Star Weekend into their team.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Cavaliers did a better job in perimeter defense. On the one hand, Larry Hughes recovered better and returned to a defensive ability close to last season. On the other hand, the Cavaliers implemented a pressing defense on the perimeter.

, coupled with the big Z inside, which is the commanding height of the basket, the Cavaliers' defense has done very well. The overall defensive efficiency has improved from the 13th in the league before the All-Star Weekend to more than one after the All-Star Weekend.

Ranked ninth in the league in overall defensive efficiency for the month.

Liu Mang dribbled the ball in a different direction and came to the right side of the top arc. Larry Hughes did not lose his position and defended well. He stepped on the three-point line. Once Liu Mang made a move to retreat, he immediately pressed forward.

I would rather Liu Mang break through than give Liu Mang space to throw a long three-pointer.

Larry Hughes didn't have a great time with the Cavaliers, but he got so much money, played on a stronger team, and had more chances to win than when he was with the Wizards. His effort level has not diminished, and on the defensive end

As always, hard work.

Facing Larry Hughes' defense, Liu Mang did not break out directly at first. Instead, he faced Larry Hughes' defense first and unexpectedly threw a three-pointer. Unfortunately, Larry Hughes defended very well.

Focusing on defense, he predicted that Liu Mang would shoot directly and interfered well.

Liu Mang missed the opening three-pointer, Big Z blocked Kwame Brown, and James went back to the basket to grab a defensive rebound.

James handed the ball to Snow, and the Cavaliers slowly advanced into the frontcourt.

For James, the current lineup limits his strength and is too slow!

Snow, Gooden and Big Z are slow. Even with a pressing defense from the outside, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to counterattack.

Fortunately, James has an All-Star-level outside teammate like Larry Hughes this season. Snow pushed the ball into the frontcourt and passed it to James. James distributed the ball to Larry Hughes, and Larry-

Facing Horry's defense, Hughes broke through to the edge of the three-second zone and scored two points with a throw-in.
