Liu Mang and McGrady directly let go of Snow, Larry Hughes, Prince, Kwame Brown, and Rasheed Wallace to shrink the basket and guard against Gooden, Big Z, and Larry.

-Hughes' cut.

James was sandwiched left and right by Liu Mang! With the awkward distance of one step outside the free throw line, even free throws are a problem for humans, let alone a mid-range shot?

The other party is cheating!

James was lucky, and the opponent didn't steal. He didn't break through the opponent, and he didn't put too much physical pressure on him. The two of them just blocked him. James was just lucky. He wanted to pass in, but Larry Hughes was blocked when he came in.

Prince stayed close to Snow, who wanted to pass to the baseline, and Larry Hughes, who ran out of the baseline. Big Z and Gooden blocked their teammates' receiving routes on both sides. There was still

At 5 seconds, James finally passed the ball to Snow, who ran out to the high post. Snow received the ball and took a mid-range shot...

Snow's mid-range shooting percentage from the baseline was as high as 43%, but he couldn't do it from the high post. He shot the ball and hit the neck of the basket. Liu Mang recovered the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound!

Liu Mang's side shrank back after James passed the ball, and McGrady's side immediately stepped down after James passed the ball!

After Liu Mang grabbed the defensive rebound, he lobbed the ball forward and led the team with the ball. McGrady just took one step inside the opposite three-point line and caught the ball. He took three big steps and dunked lightly with one hand to score two points.

His movements are very graceful, like an elf floating in the air. Among players over two meters tall, the only one who can match Maddie's beauty is Anfernee Hada, who was waived by the Knicks after this season.

Power.

James felt the malice of the world and silently ran back to Snow to serve. After advancing, Prince was still guarding him. James was still very excited when he encountered Prince guarding him in the last round. Now that he calmed down, he looked

When you see the opponent's defensive formation, the basket is like an iron bucket!

The two teammates only have a certain mid-range shooting ability, and only Snow has a baseline mid-range shooting ability. Larry Hughes has no shooting ability at all. It's not that Larry Hughes doesn't practice, but the limit of his talent is there, offensively.

The poor man's version of James, his defense is top-notch, but his shooting is worse than James. James has shot more than 30% from three-point range since his sophomore year.

James saw the Hawks' defense and hesitated.

In addition to breaking through, he has a move to step back for a three-pointer. This move is of no use against Prince. It may be easier to beat Tracy McGrady, but relying on skills to beat Prince, Kobe, and Pierce is very stressful.

There is a wall in the mid-range. James is very smart and knows that as long as he breaks through, the wall will appear immediately.

Sometimes a person's golf IQ is too high and his defensive judgment is too good, which is also a problem, especially for an indecisive person like James, who is beginning to hesitate now.

The Hawks used the same defensive method that the Spurs used to defend against the Heat's Big Three in the Finals seven years later!

And because the Cavaliers' lineup is much worse than the Heat's Big Three, the Hawks' defense has become simpler, more direct, and more effective!

Prevent James from three-pointers, let him shoot in the mid-range, double-team inside the free throw line, let Snow and Larry Hughes shoot from the outside, and shoot from the baseline. The Cavaliers' own formation blocks James' route from the high post to the baseline.

There is a baseline tactic, but that is when James breaks into the paint and passes the baseline, rather than passing directly from a high position.

James started to hesitate again, and after a while, he passed the ball to Larry Hughes. Larry Hughes received the ball with only 8 seconds left, and rushed towards the basket, under McGrady's defense.

, throwing and striking!

Rasheed Wallace defends the defensive rebound!

The Eagles fight back!

This time the Cavaliers reacted quickly to retreat. After James passed the ball to Larry Hughes from the top arc, he immediately retreated when he saw Larry Hughes hitting the ball. Larry Hughes and Snow also quickly retreated.

Liu Mang received a pass from Rasheed Wallace and rushed to the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers crossed the midline first.

Liu Mang did not slow down and rushed toward the basket, attracting the defender and passing to McGrady who was following up. The Cavaliers defended three and blocked Liu Mang and McGrady's counterattack, but there was Kwame Brown in the middle!

McGrady hoisted the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown took off from the free throw line, flew toward the basket, caught the ball with both hands in the air, and pushed the ball into the basket!

Kwame Brown's position battle was overwhelmed by Big Z's huge body, or a jumping center. It was not difficult for Big Z to guard, but when Kwame Brown started running, the Cavaliers had nothing to do.

.

Due to the rebounding deficit, the Cavaliers need to have a success rate, but now they can't guarantee the success rate!

At the beginning, James scored a goal. The TV commentator thought that James would perform well today, but after that one goal, the Cavaliers' offense suddenly collapsed.

It's wrong to say it collapsed. The game has just started. The Cavaliers feel like a college team facing an NBA team. They don't know how to play!

The point lies in their core, I don’t know how to solve the problem at hand!

Compared to the Heat's Big Three, the Cavaliers' outside combination is close to the poor version of Janway plus Chalmers, but the poor version is even worse.

After all, Wade still has a mid-range shot, especially after a serious injury. Wade's explosive speed dropped sharply after a serious injury. This is a pity. From the strongest first step to one of the strongest first steps, but

The mid-range shot was accurate, but Larry Hughes didn't.

Snow does have some mid-range shooting ability, and his career mid-range shooting percentage is 39%, which is first-rate, but who cares about a defensive point guard who averages 6 points per game...

Even though Snow is 33 years old, this player who has been selected to the All-Defensive Team is much better defensively than Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole, but on the offensive end, he is not even as good as Norris Cole.

.

In the next three minutes or so, the Cavaliers' offense was like constipation, unable to squeeze out. The Eagles made 5 of 7 shots in the first 5 minutes and went on a 12-2 run!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Except for James scoring two points in the beginning, the Cavaliers played completely blindly after that. James made a mid-range shot, which was iron. He shot a three-pointer from the outside against Prince's defense.

When it came to rebounding, Snow and Larry Hughes also shot extremely well.

The Cavaliers made 1 of 6 shots at the start and only scored two points!

The Cavaliers called timeout!

…

The effect is great! Incredibly good!

McGrady looked at James and was like Liu Mang said, he would be hesitant. The opponent actually hesitated just holding the ball and didn't know how to play. He was horrified by Liu Mang's ability to grasp the opponent's mentality.

McGrady thought about how before he came to the Hawks, every time he met the Hawks, he felt powerless. Now he thought about what he had gone through...

Seeing James who was very anxious but didn't know what to do, McGrady felt sorry for this guy who was also a high school student.

Compared to the confused state of the Cavaliers, the Eagles' morale is high!

Although the rhythm was not very comfortable, the opponent's offensive decisions in every round were very hesitant and slow. Almost every attack took more than 20 seconds, but they were ahead at the beginning!

After losing the first game in the first round, the Eagles didn't want to lose a single game in the second round!

In the previous two seasons, every time they swept their opponents and waited for the next round of opponents, the Eagles players would be eager to wait, but this season is different. This season, the Eagles players are eager to have two more days of rest, although generally speaking

He is still young, but the playing time in the past few years has been too long. Most teams have six months off a year, but they only have four months off a year.

…

After returning from the timeout, both teams made personnel adjustments. For the Eagles, Mourning replaced Kwame Brown, and Rasheed Wallace partnered with Mourning on the inside. There was no adjustment on the outside, and Big Z was blocked.

It's also a hard job, Mourning and Kwame Brown take turns.

For the Cavaliers, James, Larry Hughes, Big Z, and Gooden continued to stay on the court. Snow was replaced and replaced by Damon Jones.

Snow was replaced by Damon, who has good three-point ability. The Cavaliers' substitution was very targeted. Snow couldn't make a shot even if he was left open, so he replaced him with Damon Jones, who has three-point ability.

The Cavaliers' idea was good, but after the game restarted, the effect was not good.

The Cavaliers just made Liu Mang's defense a little more tiring. After the double attack, he still had to defend Damon Jones.

Damon Jones does not have the accurate three-pointers of last season. Damon Jones, who was in the contract year last season, averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game with the Heat and averaged 12 points and 4 assists per game. He was cheated from the Cavaliers.

After earning a full income of 18 million in four years, he averaged 6 points per game this season, the number of three-pointers made dropped to 1.4 per game, and the three-point shooting percentage dropped to 36%.

When the Hawks have Tracy McGrady and Prince on the court, Liu Mang's role is to quickly switch defenses and guard against pitchers, which just happens to restrain the Cavaliers' personnel adjustments.

Fighting and fighting, the Cavaliers had no choice but to resort to the worst possible approach.

James and Larry Hughes began to take turns holding the ball to break through and forcefully attack the inside...

Popovich was so good at dealing with James. In the 2013-14 Finals eight years later, he was able to defend the Heat from five games in the Finals when the pace was already fast and the rules were very conducive to offense.

All scores are less than 100, and even over 90 is difficult.

If there is James at his peak, he can still think of a way. For example, in the 2013 Finals, they were only trailing 2-3 in at least the first five games, but now James, whose hairline is so tender that he has not secretly had a hair transplant, can

After one quarter, he was forced to start an inefficient play style of digging inside with explosives in hand.

At the end of halftime, the Cavaliers were already 20 points behind 35-55!

12 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the half. James' own statistics are always very good because he always has the ball in his hands and is really strong.

But James has no hope of winning at all!
