The painting style of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference... are so different!

Over in the Western Conference, there was a duel between the iconic figures of the 1996 generation, with Liu Mang making sarcastic remarks beside him... all the attention in the Western Conference Finals was on the game itself.

And here in the east...

Compared with LeBron James, who has been immersed in dance for a long time, although Tracy McGrady received a more comprehensive "Dance King inheritance" from Liu Mang and has better "talent", the accumulation of experience is also important, and the energy and energy invested are also important.

Financial resources are also very important. James, who owns a special "music and dance studio", defeated McGrady in the first dance king battle and won his first victory!

James wins!

Defeated McGrady!

This caused thunderous cheers from the fans at the scene!

The fans at Quicken Loans Center in Cleveland said that we were not here to watch the game, but to watch the dance, and James won the dance!

As for the game... Talking about the game hurts your feelings. Just watch it casually. Don't take it too seriously to avoid myocardial infarction...

Watching the "dance battle" between two high school students three minutes before the game, Liu Mang was speechless...

Liu Mang didn't care that much about the painful tasks that were temporarily triggered in this round of the series.

"What's the big deal? The big deal is clearing the star cards. Anyway, the only great star cards I have are Kidd, Lillard, and Durant... Fortunately, I went to college. The IQ of high school students is really worrying. I can't throw them away."

It’s embarrassing…”

…

It was almost 7:30, and Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air, which once again triggered uneasy boos from the fans at the scene, and he came to the court with his teammates.

The Eagles sent Rondo, Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown.

Against the Cavaliers, Rondo was replaced, and the Hawks used the rotation in the second half of the regular season this time.

For the Cavaliers, the lineup of Damon Jones, Peja, James, Gooden, and Chandler appeared.

Snow...is completely old in the playoffs this season. He was fine for most of the regular season, but in order to help the Cavaliers get first place in the Eastern Conference, Snow burned out the last gas, just like Snow who went too far in the regular season.

Like Wisky, he completely withered in the playoffs, and the Cavaliers could only send in Damon Jones, a pitcher who worked well with James.

"Ding... the talent skill Natural King is triggered at level 1, from LeBron James."

"Born King Level 1: LeBron James' team will definitely reach the playoffs. If it has at least one All-Star teammate, it will definitely reach the top four in the conference. Characteristics: King of Points and Balls Level 5, King of Hesitation Level 5

…Features to be activated: Dominance.”

"Level 5 of King's Hesitation: There is a 50% probability of triggering when dealing with key balls. When the characteristic is triggered, the all-round ability is greatly reduced, and the desire to pass is greatly increased."

"Level 5 of the King of Distribution: The strongest breakthrough and distribution master in history, with perhaps the strongest vision in the breakthrough and distribution state in NBA history."

As soon as he came on the court, James gave Liu Mang a surprise!

There is of course a big gap between him and Duncan, who is rated as a level 5 born king. After all, Duncan is a 19-year career player. Except for the first lockout season because he only had 50 games and failed to win 50 games, Duncan has won 18 other games in the past 19 years.

There were only 66 games in the season, including the second lockout, and all of them in 2018 had at least 50 wins.

But this at least means that James is about to enter his prime!

As for the "King's Hesitation" which is very similar to Duncan's "Buddha Nature"...

People always have shortcomings, such as Kobe's "stubbornness", Milicic's "childlike innocence", O'Neal's "laziness", Tracy McGrady's "indisputableness", Odom's "habitual distraction", and Liu Mang himself.

Like to irritate opponents...etc., everyone has their own weaknesses.

But James' strongest aspect has been evaluated by the system as a talent skill, which makes Liu Mang very excited. Maybe James is just like that now, but in the future, he will definitely become his strong enemy!

The atmosphere on the court became solemn because of Liu Mang's suddenly enthusiastic expression.

The seven games against the Bulls in the second round gave the Hawks the biggest benefit, which was that they became more oppressive and more eager to win.

Losing to the Bulls in three games, one more game would have ended the entire playoffs, allowing the Hawks players to experience the feeling of almost being eliminated. This feeling woke up the somewhat drifting Tracy McGrady, Jason Terry, and Kwame...

Brown and other Eagles veteran players.

Seeing Liu Mang's eagerness to try, McGrady, who had just been having fun, became serious. The Eagles players felt Liu Mang's fighting spirit and knew that they had to win this series, otherwise the boss would be unhappy... Then

Just fight! Let the opponent feel despair from the first game!

The Eagles looked like they were going to fight... The players on the Cavaliers felt a little cold...

They didn't know why Liu Mang, who had a pained expression just now, suddenly became so high-spirited?

Could it be that you are upset because you are talking about it?

"It's none of our business!"

This is the voice of the Cavaliers players.

The two new stars added this season, Peja and Chandler, and the core of James are fine. Although they lost all four games against the Hawks in the regular season this season, they are still very hardworking.

But last year's regular season playoffs lost to the Hawks in eight games, and this year's regular season continues to be swept by the Cavaliers' veteran players... Before the game even started, my heart felt cold...

Kwame Brown and Chandler came to the center circle to jump the ball.

At half past seven, the referee blew the whistle on time and threw the ball into the air...

Kwame Brown leaped high and swiped the ball just centimeters above Chandler's fingers to win the jump ball.

Game start!

Rondo received Kwame Brown's jump ball and quickly advanced toward the frontcourt.

The other four Eagles sprinted upfield.

Without Grant Hill, the Eagles have improved very quickly.

The Cavaliers' defensive positioning is not inferior to that of any team. They quickly retreat and settle into defensive positions. Mike Brown is also a very powerful defensive assistant next to James.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Eagles collectively pressed into the frontcourt. After Rondo advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, he did not choose to pass the ball or find cooperation, but rushed all the way to the three-pointer.

Wire!

Damon Jones knew Rondo didn't shoot, so he chose to retreat and defend, but Rondo was much faster than him. Rondo quickly passed Damon Jones and rushed to the free throw line.

Rondo's sudden breakthrough caught the Cavaliers by surprise. They were defending other players on the Hawks who might cooperate with Rondo. Rondo is now also a famous young point guard. The Cavaliers, who have played four regular season games with the Hawks, know this.

Rondo's ability to organize offense can almost be said to be the best in the Hawks.

But I didn’t expect Rondo to play like this!

Good thing they have Chandler!

Rondo rushed inside, and Chandler did not step up to block the defense in advance. Instead, he stayed under the basket, blocking the connection space between Rondo and Kwame Brown on the left side of the three-second zone.

Chandler has a very good defensive awareness and knows that Rondo has no shooting ability, so he is prepared to rely on his height of 2.16 meters to defend the two.

After Rondo quickly rushed to the inside, he saw Chandler's defense. Without hesitation, he dived into the basket, grabbed the ball on the right sideline of the three-second zone on the left side of Chandler's body, and got up for a layup...

Chandler didn't fall into the trap! He didn't jump up to block the shot when he encountered a breakthrough like other physical insiders. He only took one step and stretched out his arm to cover Rondo's shooting space.

Rondo is 1.85 meters tall, and Chandler, who is 2.16 meters tall, has a height advantage of more than 30 centimeters and made good use of the height difference.

Sure enough, Rondo just raised the ball with his big hands, immediately took it back, and hit Chandler's waist with his left foot!

The direction is the direction of Kwame Brown on the left side of the three-second zone!

Chandler secretly yelled that he was not good and turned around to block Kwame Brown on the left side of the three-second zone. Although he was not knocked away by Rondo, he stepped out with his left foot and his center of gravity had moved. He did not know that he was turning around to block.

Whether Kwame Brown can block Kwame Brown in place, he still has to work hard to defend. As long as he prevents Kwame Brown from entering the three-second zone and takes off without fouling, with Chandler's understanding of Kwame Brown, this guy will hit ten with his head high.

Eight or nine times I couldn't get in.

But……

When Chandler turned around and pounced, what he saw was Kwame Brown's envious eyes... He didn't make any movement to catch the ball! He didn't move toward the three-second zone either!

"Oops!"

Chandler turned around and saw the ball falling from the basket.

In less than two seconds, Rondo made two fake moves, spinning Chandler around!

"Ace Liu's signature one-on-one inside play!"

The fans at the scene immediately recognized Rondo's inside singles trick. Isn't it the same low-post step that Liu Mang used when they broke through to the inside and faced the inside countless times?

He has the same exaggerated hands, but may have worse footwork, but his finishing ability at the basket is better than Liu Mang's!

After Rondo scored, he still looked like a dead fish and quickly turned around to retreat.

The system is good and the positioning is accurate...but it can't hold the Cavaliers back and they have two deep defensive holes!

Rondo's breakthrough is not comparable to Nelson. Damon Jones can rely on his flexible skills to keep up with Nelson, but he can't guard against Rondo!

Rondo had already thought about how to beat the opponent's point guard when he was preparing before the game. He tried it this time and it was very successful!

With a quick fake move and a quick shot, Rondo scored two points before Damon Jones could catch up!

Liu Mang did not expect Rondo to play like this at the beginning. Of course, he once said to Rondo, "You can play according to your own ideas, and I will cooperate with you." But he also did not expect Rondo to play in the Eastern Conference Finals in his rookie season.

Then I gave him another surprise!

Playing against the inside combination of Garnett and Ben Wallace... Rondo couldn't use it, and the opponent's defensive efficiency ranked first in history. It was too strong.

But the Cavaliers, who only rely on Chandler for inside defense and Larry Hughes and James for outside defense... Rondo used Liu Mang, who he has studied and practiced so hard this season, to use the offensive method that suits him best.

Got it!
