Score... Liu Mang deserves to be honest with everyone. The only defensive players he fears about the Cavaliers are Larry Hughes and Snow. But as James gets stronger and stronger and has the ability to lead the team into the top four in the conference alone, now

Larry Hughes is getting less and less playing time. After all, James is an individual player. Larry Hughes, who has similar but much weaker offensive functions, is playing less and less role.

Moreover, Damon Jones' performance improved this year, and the Cavaliers acquired Peja again. Compared with last season, Larry Hughes' playing time has been reduced by more than half.

Replaced with Larry Hughes, the functions of James overlapped. Although James was stronger than him at this stage in the original time and space, after all, he had the three-point ability that he only started to have in the 2008-2009 season, but James played without the ball...

...I really don’t know what to do except stand and catch the ball and throw it around.

Snow, on the other hand, is in a state of collapse in the playoffs. He is already 34 years old. He is not the perimeter defender of the second team of the All-Defensive Team who could guard Kobe Bryant six years ago when he was at his peak.

Liu Mang's goal at the beginning was not to score, but to help his teammates with the ball, grab rebounds...and defend like a mad dog on the defensive end!

In the first quarter, he had 4 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Liu Mang only took 4 shots in the first quarter, all of which were taken when his teammates had no choice. He only made a three-pointer and a Chandler defense for three seconds.

For illegal free throws, I didn't even commit a foul. I just tried my best to pass it to my teammates.

Although Liu Mang only scored 4 points, which was a bit far behind James' 11 points in a single quarter, in terms of rebounds, Liu Mang's 3 were more than James' 2, and his 4 assists were also more than James' 2. Steals

Both of them had 1, and James did not block the shot...

This hurt Rondo...

Rondo helped Liu Mang create opportunities many times, but Liu Mang passed the ball out, giving Rondo at least two or three assists.

However, in terms of "negative data", Liu Mang did not control the situation very well in the first quarter. He committed one foul and made two turnovers, which was much worse than James' side with 0 fouls and 1 turnover.

But this style of play is not Liu Mang's normal style of play. It is normal to have some flaws at the beginning, but in terms of positive data, Liu Mang is temporarily better than James, who plays very hard.

As for scoring...

Liu Mang hit 1 of 4. Although his shooting rate is only 25%, which is not good-looking, it is not ugly either and his number of shots is not high.

As for James, although he scored 11 points in the first quarter, he only made three of his nine successful shots. If Marion, Tracy McGrady, and Granger hadn't been too fierce in their defense against him in the first quarter, he would have missed three shots in the first quarter.

Each player suffered one foul, two of which were fouls on shooting. He made a rare 4 free throws out of 4, but he really couldn't score 11 points.

Just as James expected, the league will not give him any extra care when playing against Liu Mang.

They are representatives of the younger generation of Chinese and American basketball, and they are related to the country's reputation. David Stern is right not to abandon Colangelo, but this aspect still needs to be considered.

And... no matter who he plays, James will try his best to win, but when playing against Liu Mang, James is not willing to enjoy extra care. If it weren't for his poor footwork, he wouldn't even have a three-step layup with an extra step.

Willing to use.

Because the opponent is Liu Mang, the man James wants to really defeat the most.

It's just... James worked very hard today, but he couldn't stand up to the Hawks' three forwards who were very experienced in guarding him. They took turns to deal with him. He scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. He had already performed very well in a single quarter, but the Cavaliers

The team only scored 19 points in the first quarter...

Except for James himself who made 3 of 9 goals and got two assists from the ball, the others independently attacked and only Marshall who came up from the rotation scored a mid-range goal. It was just a sports goal that had nothing to do with James. Except for James, the Cavaliers

The rest of the team only shot 3-for-11!

As for the Eagles... they scored 27 points in the first quarter!

After beating the Bulls and then encountering the Cavaliers' defense, the Hawks felt as if the opponent had no defense.

Chandler is very good, but at this stage, apart from his height suppression and offensive rebounding advantage, his defensive threat is not as good as that of Ben Wallace who has passed his peak. Of course, he helps James a lot with pick-and-rolls.

Busy, but the defense is really not as good as the Bulls' interior defense. After all, the Bulls' interior defense is so strong.

After playing seven defensive battles with the Bulls, the Eagles' defense, which was very lax before the second round, has been tightened by the Bulls, and their physical fitness is limited...but there are many people!

The task of Marion, McGrady, and Granger today is to prevent James from dying. Although they were not able to completely prevent James from dying, they obviously caused huge trouble for James. With Kwame Brown on the inside, James looked like a loser in the first quarter today.

The data is good, but in fact it is in a weak situation.

When the TV commentator analyzed the game during the intermission after the first quarter, ESPN commentator Mike Breen analyzed: "Ace is so naughty. Is he angry with Kobe? He used and used in this game.

Kobe helps the team in a completely different way..."

As Mike Breen said, fans really feel that Liu Mang is deliberately playing the game in a completely different style from Kobe, just to piss off Kobe...

As everyone knows...Liu Mang has no such idea at all...

But the No. 24 player from the West Coast who was watching the live broadcast of the game heard what the commentator said... couldn't help but said to Yao Ming next to him: "BIG-YAO, I want to change my jersey!"

"..." Yao Ming looked at the other No. 24 with a close-up on the TV screen, then looked at the No. 24 next to him, and sighed helplessly...

"Why does Ace love to make Kobe angry so much?"

…

After the first quarter, the Eagles are very excited. They are in excellent shape now and have absolute strength to suppress the Cavaliers!

It is true that compared with the past three championship seasons, the Eagles' playoff strength this season is definitely not as strong as the previous three years, and at most it is close to the strength of the second championship.

Needless to say, the first championship in 2004 was a terrifying level of dominance that could compete with the 2001 Lakers for the strongest playoff performance in NBA history.

Last season's championship was not as dominant as the 2004 championship, but it was still among the best in history. Only the middle champion was not very dominant, but at that time there was Rasheed Wallace at his peak, and Poulin was the strongest one-on-one defender.

Sri Lanka, as well as McGrady who has not won the championship and is working to the extreme on both offense and defense, Jason Terry who is in the best condition... is also stronger than this season...

But after the Eagles experienced a series with the Bulls, their state has improved to the extreme that the team's current lineup can improve. Facing the Cavaliers, a team that has won four times in the regular season, the Eagles showed it here

Perfect suppression!

Liu Mang looked at his data... The next thing to do is to control the number of mistakes and fouls, try to use his own threats to create opportunities for his teammates, and... he can also start scoring!

Liu Mang admires James' hard work, and James' style of play, although he loves to pass the ball, even loves to blame others, and is prone to hesitation at critical moments, has been judged by the system as characteristics, but Liu Mang really didn't see that James has any

The idea of ​​​​deliberately brushing up data, but still 2 assists and 2 rebounds in a single quarter.

If he really wants to get assists, Liu Mang feels that it is really difficult to beat this guy, but this guy has averaged a triple-double in the regular season, and there is no way he can get a few assists or rebounds to average a triple-double.

, having seen the future triple-double king, Liu Mang believes that James will definitely be stronger if he wants to play.
