"Because LeBron James successfully met the host in the playoffs, he launched a challenge to the host. The King of Players of the New Generation series of tasks: The future is your trigger."

"The future is yours: When playing against LeBron James in the playoffs, the host needs to lead the team to a 4-0 sweep, led by LeBron James, and after the sweep, say that famous saying to LeBron James,

Sow a seed for LeBron James. Failure penalty: 1. If you fail to defeat LeBron James' team in this series, the series of missions of King of New Generation Players will end; 2. If you fail to sweep LeBron

-The team led by James will continue to suppress LeBron James until the next time they meet in the playoffs."

When the game was about to start, Liu Mang received the task of suppressing James.

From the mission, Liu Mang understood James' current mentality. As long as he can win a game, James will be greatly comforted.

James is not someone who is easily defeated. Even if he loses, he will still find a way to solve it. Liu Mang looked at the description in the mission and planted a seed... Should he join or find a brother?

…

At 5:28 p.m., Rasheed Wallace's roar of heaven ignited the atmosphere, and players from both teams came to the court.

The Cavaliers fielded a lineup of Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, and Big Z.

The Eagles sent out a lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Cavaliers players are now in a very good condition and have nothing to fear, both physically and mentally.

If you win, you will make money, if you lose, you will not be scolded.

James represents the Cavaliers. James is a challenger, and the Cavaliers are naturally a challenger, so they don't have much psychological pressure on whether to advance. It's just the strength of the Hawks that puts them under pressure, and there is also a manic attitude on the scene.

atmosphere.

But it’s the right thing to do. James desires one thing right now, to defeat Liu Mang and get rid of the psychological pressure of never winning a game against Liu Mang.

As for Liu Mang, he only has one goal, sweep!

jump ball!

Kwame Brown and Big Z came to the center circle. The referee blew the whistle to start the game on time at 5:30 and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown used his excellent bounce speed to jump over the head of Big Z, who was 10 centimeters taller than him.

Win the jump ball.

Liu Mang received the ball and the Eagles attacked first.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, faced Larry Hughes's defense, passed the ball to Tracy McGrady, and started playing without the ball.

Compared with Liu Mang, he will be greatly restricted when he meets Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes is one of the few defenders in the regular season this season who can prevent Wade, Kobe, and Carter from shooting less than 40%.

A tough guy; on Tracy McGrady's side, it's much easier to catch the ball and face James.

Liu Mang passed the ball and cut inside to compress the Cavaliers' defense. McGrady received the ball and first grabbed the ball with one hand and made a wide swing.

James had long been prepared for the shameless behavior of several Hawks stars, and subconsciously raised his head to avoid it.

While James was raising his head, McGrady was halfway through the swing and slapped the ball behind James. His body moved at the same time, his left leg stepped out to the right, and his long legs took the first step to get behind James!

In the first step, he used his long legs to step behind James! In the second step, he started to accelerate, and in the third step, he directly threw James away!

James has worked very hard, but McGrady's steps are big, his timing is good, and his speed is getting faster and faster. Even if it is James, after McGrady finds the opportunity in the first step, he can't stop him.

McGrady rushed directly into the three-second zone, and Big Z reached out to interfere. At the same time, he extended his other arm to interfere with Kwame Brown's catching of the ball.

The Cavaliers' research and preparation for the Hawks was much more complete than in the regular season. The key is that Big Z worked hard to learn Yao Ming's way of defending Kwame Brown, and it really worked!

However, the Eagles also expected that Big Z would definitely learn the defensive methods of Yao Ming, who is about the same height. After McGrady entered the three-second zone, he did not directly pass the ball or shoot directly. Instead, he slowed down and made

Feint movements.

At this time, Kwame Brown, who had no chance to catch the ball due to the interference of Big Z, seemed to have left the three-second zone because the offense was three seconds away. McGrady grabbed the ball, shook it twice, and took off!

When Big Z saw Kwame Brown leaving the three-second zone, he did not doubt that he was there. When he saw McGrady jump up, he immediately raised his arms above his head and jumped hard. It was a very standard vertical bounce, interfering with McGrady's shooting space.

However, at this time, McGrady threw the ball towards Big Z's waist, passed the ball around Big Z and into the air behind Big Z!

Liu Mang used Kwame Brown to block Larry Hughes, cut in and jumped, pushed the ball with both hands in the air, and the ball floated gently into the basket!

Liu Mang, McGrady, and Kwame Brown's three-man cooperation was simple and direct, with one break and one pass, and they scored two points.

As expected, the Cavaliers failed to defend against the Hawks' offense, and even felt like they were being toyed by the opponent's three All-Stars. They had long been used to it, and Big Z immediately picked up the ball and sent it to James.

After Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady completed their cooperation, they immediately retreated. James did not have a chance to counterattack with Larry Hughes, so he suppressed the rhythm and waited for Big Z to take a position in the frontcourt.

McGrady immediately defended James after he arrived in the frontcourt.

Facing McGrady's defense, James made a crushing breakthrough!

James couldn't guard against McGrady's first three moves. On the other hand, McGrady couldn't guard against James' crushing breakthrough.

James rushed to the inside, and Kwame Brown was pulled to the baseline by Big Z. When he jumped back, he was a little slow. When Prince came back to help defend, James pulled the lever and licked the basket to score two points.

Fast and accurate!

James' biggest improvement this year is to greatly improve his success rate at the basket while limiting his layup steps to four steps.

The talent is there, and when he is forced to improve, James' layup accuracy has improved tremendously.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Unable to prevent it, McGrady and Prince looked at each other, Prince nodded, and the other three players of the Hawks also understood after seeing this. Next

How to do the round.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. When Liu Mang reached the frontcourt this time, he found that it was James who was guarding him.

This is something the Cavaliers have discussed many times. They used James to defend Tracy McGrady and Larry Hughes to defend Liu Mang. The result was that they couldn't defend both ends. Larry Hughes couldn't defend Liu Mang without the ball, and James couldn't defend him.

Live Tracy McGrady's breakthrough.

But to put it another way, they think it's better. James can't guard against McGrady's breakthroughs due to his size and faster and faster pace, but the impact-resistant outside line has always been very good. He can withstand it and keep up with the speed.

In the beginning, he was repeatedly beaten by pitchers, but fans still believed that one day he would be able to improve his defense.

McGrady played against Larry Hughes, and his performance was neither bad nor good. The two entered the NBA a year apart. McGrady averaged 20 points per game against him and shot 45% from the field. Of course, counting

It was the two years when McGrady played as a substitute for the Raptors and met Larry Hughes.

When Liu Mang reached outside the three-point line, James used his strong body to press up, trying to use his defensive aggressiveness to pressure Liu Mang. This was something he learned from Liu Mang during the All-Star Weekend, and he was ready to play with Larry-

Hughes started a poor version of Janeway's pressing defense mode.

As the saying goes, the master taught his apprentice to starve to death. Liu Mang guessed what James wanted to do when he saw James eager to try after changing defense.

James was still too young. When he came up with his thick bow legs, Liu Mang smacked the ball towards James' crotch. He passed by James with his waist and caught the ball that he had swatted, and quickly headed towards the basket.

Advance!

Larry Hughes turned his head away in pain. It was so miserable that he was penetrated by the opponent before he even got close to him.

Larry Hughes can limit Liu Mang's performance below the normal level. When James defends him, Liu Mang can obviously perform above his average level. The gap between first-defense players and non-defense players is still obvious.

Liu Mang easily broke into the paint and made a pull-up jumper from the free throw line...

Liu Mang's shooting was a bit erratic. He was a little unaccustomed to breaking through so easily against the Cavaliers this season. Mainly because he was a little proud, and his mid-range shot hit the rim.

Big Z blocked Kwame Brown, and Gooden got back one step ahead of Rasheed Wallace and grabbed the defensive rebound.

When James saw that Liu Mang didn't make the shot, he comforted himself silently. He thought this guy didn't make the shot because he was guarding him.

Just so confident.

James received the ball from Gooden and quickly advanced toward the frontcourt, but was blocked by Prince. James didn't rush blindly. The opponent's center returned to defense very quickly.

Still falling into a positional battle, James was shocked when he saw that the one guarding him had turned into Prince!

What James is least afraid of are defensive players with superior skills like Prince and Battier. In the original time and space, in the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals, James beat Prince to death, just like Prince's defense.

Kobe, who was at his peak this season, was very good at guarding him, but he was forced to beat him when he was in a state of collapse last season. The Hawks generally don't use Prince to guard James, a muscle monster like him, but McGrady.

Iguodala or Josh Smith.

But today the Hawks used Prince to block James' fast break.

Since he was blocked by Prince during the counterattack, James subconsciously thought that the Eagles had Prince coming to guard him. This was an opportunity!

Prince's characteristic is that he is very good at preventing shots and fake moves. When James looked for opportunities to shoot outside the three-point line, he found that there was no chance at all. This was what he expected. Therefore, James waited until Big Z and Gooden

After opening up the space, I chose to force a breakthrough!

As soon as James crossed the three-point line, he saw Prince retreating quickly, directly retreating towards the back. However, James had already started to speed up. Even after Prince retreated, James was confident that he could rush into the three-second zone.
Chapter completed!
