From Today it is the King of the Basketball

"How's it, Ace, this cafe is good!" James seemed slightly smug.

"Wow, really, the environment here is great, the lake is outside the window. I haven't known this cafe for years. LeBron has you." Liu Mang exclaimed.

"Haha, I like the comfortable environment here in Atlanta, so every time I come to find interesting places here." James smiled.

Seeing people talking about people, talking about people talking about people, James' social philosophy has been used more easily after entering the NBA for almost a year.

Like Liu Mang, who is a traditional Chinese in his heart, he is not interested in drinking in the middle of the season, and there are two girlfriends who are not interested in going out and fooling around, and their personality is still a bit off. James also chose to talk about it Way, cater to Liu Mang's hobby.

"In the future, I think I'll be fine and come here. I still have a membership card? Then I have to get one." Liu Mang said after seeing the promotion of the membership card on the dining table.

"Aise, do you like it here? I already have a membership card. I'll give it to you. I have charged it up." James took out the membership card and handed it to Liu Mang.

"It's so embarrassing, I just have to make one by myself." Liu Mang said as he said, but his hand didn't rest. He grabbed the membership card in his hand and squeezed it tightly.

A drop of cold sweat left in James' heart. This ‘only’ membership card that you can get with a charge of $ 2,000. This guy is enough! James does not know what kind of character Liu Mang is. According to media reports, Liu Mang spent millions to buy a villa in Los Angeles in order to "favor" his girlfriend. The last party cruise in Los Angeles was also paid by Liu Mang, but in This kind of 'little money' can actually be so picky.

Belly sullen, James's face was still full of smiles: "It doesn't matter, I can't come to Atlanta a few times a year. The next time I come, call Ace and you will come together ..."

...

On the first day of March, the Cavaliers came to Atlanta. Tomorrow, the two teams will have their last match of the season.

I arrived at James in Atlanta in the morning. I asked Liu Mang to eat out together at noon. I found a coffee shop by the lake. The two had some steak or something. In the afternoon, I went to Nike with the two athletes who had the highest endorsement fee Some sneakers of non-signed shoes are advertised.

Endorsement for Nike, not just for the promotion of the signature shoes of each season, the signature shoes, in the true sense, is an additional "honor", their endorsement contract is to endorse all Nike shoes, and hundreds Ninety-nine basketball shoes are not autographed shoes.

Due to Liu Mang, Atlanta has gradually become one of the world's basketball-focused cities. The basketball atmosphere here is getting heavier, and a large number of Asian fans choose to travel here, which promotes local economic development. Related industries are paying more and more attention here. For example, Nike put many new product launch conferences in Atlanta.

In the afternoon, Liu Mang and James went to the new product launch together, which attracted the attention of many Asian and American media. It seemed that James and Liu Mang had a very good relationship, and the media were also very strange.

Does n’t it mean that Liu Mang and James are direct competitors of the first person in the future? The relationship is so good, what the hell! How do you promote them?

Can't bear it! I can't find anything that can do things to make news!

At the press conference after the afternoon publicity event ended, Liu Mang and James were interviewed together, and the media were ready to take the initiative to pick things up.

The proactive reporter asked James: "Hello LeBron, Ace said that Wade is a 5 cm shorter Jordan, and is the best player in your rookie this year. Do you think Ace is right? ? "

Out of context, properly out of context, Liu Mang next to him almost chimed in, or Schwarz next to him pulled him away before he calmed down.

James was very calm and laughed: "Dwyane is great. He is going to play in the playoffs this year. In this respect, I admire Dwyane. My goal is to make the playoffs with my teammates. "

Schwartz patted Liu Mang at the interview table, meaning: you look at people talking and think about you again.

Liu Mang was also surprised by James' ‘maturity’. What is dripping? This is dripping!

Instead of answering the question of who is better in a positive way, I use the perspective of the playoffs to ignore things. Ignore the topic of who is better. I will answer by playing in the playoffs, and even if I want to make the playoffs Said to lead the team, but to say that with teammates!

This language art makes Liu Man, a guy who has inherited Chinese language art for thousands of years, ashamed.

This guy is a genius!

The media were a bit frustrated. James, a rookie, couldn't make it!

That can't be aimed at Liu Mang. The reporter asked questions according to the preparations that have been prepared for a long time: "Aisi, you have created the best record since the new century. You are confident to maintain this record. Is Duncan stepping under his feet? "

James's language art seems to be very useful. Liu Mang almost blurted out and followed up with things, but people like Zhan Zhan all seemed so high in intelligence. As a senior, how can they behave so mentally handicapped by the media?

Liu Mang thought for a moment and said, "Take the championships of the past five years and the three MVPs under your feet? Brother, I haven't won one championship yet. When I get at least four championships, it's still possible, This is just the regular season, our goal is the playoffs, and the regular season record is the same. "

Liu Mang was still arrogant in the end, and his pretentious heart could not be suppressed.

However, this answer, even if Liu Mang pretended to force it, frustrated the reporters.

This guy has been with James for a long time! The reporter was completely blown away, and next time you must not interview while these two guys are together!

...

...

On the second day, the game day between the Hawks and Cavaliers.

After a day of rest, the Hawks came to Phillips Arena to meet the visiting Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers are now very "open-minded", there is no hope of the playoffs, this year did not close to 40 wins, can not enter the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Cavaliers are now 25 wins and 34 losses, with 23 games left, and the rest of the games can be won by 10 games, let alone 40 wins, so the Cavaliers are very easy, there is no record pressure, and there are good After James, it's enough to cultivate a culture of winning, and they don't have to slap it. With James, they can't rot to the utmost, because they can't slap with James like Ricky Davis.

Therefore, the Cavaliers players without psychological pressure came to the Hawks' devil home, and were not afraid because of the fanatical atmosphere.

The Devil's home is mainly to psychologically suppress the teams with ideas and enthusiasm, suppress their self-confidence, and attack the morale of the other party. No matter where you go, even if you go to the Salt Lake City where Shuangsha is still there.

And there is another point, today Rashid Wallace does not play, the Hawks home atmosphere is hot and inertia, there is no absolute fanatical atmosphere driven by Rashid Wallace.

Before the game, the Hawks' veterans of the first two seasons went to greet and congratulate Newbell.

After the All-Star Weekend, because of his experience playing in strong teams and because of partnering with Liu Mang and others, Newbell played more consciously and aggressively. He stabilized the position of the main small forward in the Cavaliers and averaged 10 per game this season. He scored 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks, giving him a four-year, 15-million-year contract extension for the Cavaliers. As a former teammate, Liu Mang was also happy for Newbell and went to congratulate him.

Since Newbell is in the Cavaliers, James and Liu Mang have a good relationship. Just like Liu Mang ’s popularity in Philadelphia, James ’s arrival in Atlanta is also very popular, except for the entrance ceremony. A lot of boos, when the Hawks players went to find Newber Suxu, James took the initiative to greet the Hawks players, the cheers on the scene rang again.

After saying hello and ending old, Liu Mang returned to his home half-time shooting hot hand and observed the strength of the opponent's lineup.

The five big starters on the big screen.

"Zaidrunas Ilgauskas, ability rating 82, offense 83, defense 80, three-point 55, mid-range 81, layup 87, speed 70, strength 93 ..."

"LeBron James, averaging 20.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, ability rating 84, offensive 90, defense 70, three-point 60, midrange shooting 65, layup 90, pass 85, speed 92, strength 85 ..."

Liu Mang feels unreasonable every time he sees James, and progress is so fast! This really is the second year, it is possible to become the monster of the top star, more popular than the dead!

This rookie season hasn't finished yet, it has averaged 20 + 6 + 5!

Liu Mang has become more urgent to upgrade to the top star this season, otherwise it will be suppressed by a second-year player, it is too embarrassing!

James' progress is indeed terrifying. In the original history, he averaged 27 + 7 + 7 per game since the second grade, which shocked those veteran stars. It really looks like the next Jordan.

This time because of the additional pressure caused by Liu Mang's existence, and the Cavaliers have less Boozer, he must grab more rebounds, get more points, improve faster, the last month of the season He, who has more than 20.5 points, has already averaged points per game, and his rebounding is almost one more than the original one, which makes Liu Mang feel more threatened!

It ’s just that James ’s helper is really not good. In addition to the big Z has a quasi-first-class level, it may barely occasionally be able to make an All-Star difference once or twice depending on the overall strength of the Eastern Conference in the east. .

The other three starters, small forward Newbell's ability evaluation of 72, the starting average is a bit higher, 29-year-old Newbell is already the peak of his career; use Ricky Davis to trade the short power forward from the Celtics Eric Williams, with an ability rating of 69, has not even reached the starting average level; the shooting guard is the second-round pick of the 96 golden generation, and Jeff McGinnis from the Blazers has an ability rating of 67.

James, who took over the Cavaliers who have been through the mess for many years, came to this ruined team. It was indeed unlucky, but he had to face this with a smile, because he is a new generation of American basketball players. Delegates, you must not be discouraged by this situation.

Liu Mang feels that this is entirely the Cavaliers' own problem. In the past two years, Ricky Davis was promoted as the boss, and then asked him to immediately play a deputy to a rookie. Otherwise, James has a quasi-first star outside helper, the Cavaliers may not be much worse than the Heat, and now the victory is only six or seven, but these six or seven wins are enough to make the Cavaliers miss. Playoffs.

...

After the end of the game in February, after forcing up the Heat and winning 50 votes, the Hawks arrived in March. In the face of this month, there are 16 games, two back-to-back, more than one day off None of the schedule, was forced to start a round of rest.

In order to get the first record since the new century, plus these two monthly schedules are the most difficult in the league after the Lakers and the Rockets, and they pay more attention to the regular season records than those two teams, so they have been playing Tired, even Rahim, the iron man who had been absent for only 10 games in the past seven years, showed fatigue and had to take a break.

And in March, the Hawks have the most terrible schedule. The five teams in the top five in the West will come to Atlanta this month to challenge the Hawks. The Pacers and the Pistons will come to Atlanta. There are seven difficult games. Therefore, the Eagles had to take a large-scale rotation while playing another nine games.

In addition, the playoffs will begin next month. Although the regular season record is important, it cannot be delayed for 68 wins. The rest of the round still has to be taken.

Fortunately, this month, the Hawks have a total of 12 home games and only 4 away games. It is also excellent for players to recover their physical fitness.

The starting lineup sent by the Hawks in this game is Liu Mang, Prince, Barnes, Boozer, Ratliff.

Seeing Rahim and Rasheed Wallace in suits, Liu Mang knew that this game was very burdensome! Ratliff may not be able to play for a long time, so he has to quickly resolve the game while he is guarding the inside!

The Cavaliers sent the starting lineups of James, McGinnis, Newbel, Eric Williams and Big Z.

It was another "difficult to win or lose" jump ball battle. Big Z and Ratliff came to the middle circle to jump the ball. Relying on the height advantage, the big Z barely won the jump ball from the head of Ratliff with a matchbox bounce. Cavaliers The team attacked first.

Against James, Liu Mang decisively closed the door against Barnes and Prince. Liu Mang guarded McGinnis himself, zooming in and biting little Zhan Zhan! Boozer went to watch the midfielder's mid-range shot with slow footsteps. Ratliff stayed at the basket. Eric Williams and Newbell saw Rattlel as the block king, and they did not have COSCO. Shooting, Ratliff only covered the sky to guard the basket, Newbell's 10.3% three-point shooting this year, so far in his career played 200 games and made 16 three-pointers, Eric Williams hit The rate was pretty good, 33%, but this year a total of 30 three-pointers were cast, that is, only 10 were scored. The two ran in the outside and no one ignored them. When they got into the basket, they were covered by Ratliff. Overwhelmed by the Hawks' defense!

James watched Prince and Barnes slamming them together, his mouth almost squirted out in his throat.

Do you want to go too far!

Yesterday also called brother brother, today how to deal with buddies?

unacceptable!

In the face of the two, the Barnes, the guy who keeps in physical contact, is hard enough to deal with, and Prince ...

The best outside pitcher helper McGinnis of James is stared to death by Liu Mang, the Cavaliers do not have a good tactical system, the ball-free pick-and-roll is basically equal to blind block, and coach Paul Silas has not had time to formulate the team ’s The offensive system, when he first took over the Cavaliers, because he chose a high school student, although James's name is very good, but there was a Kwame Brown two years ago. When the regular season had not started, the Cavaliers did not Determine whether to continue to slap or start to rebuild immediately at this point, ready to take a look at it, this is also the main reason why the Cavaliers' overall progress has not been so fast this year.

Overall, the management is still a big problem!

Being hit by Prince and Barnes, James was treated at the level of Kobe and McGrady. James's passing heart could not be suppressed, and he passed it to Newber.

Newbell catches the ball in the middle distance, and feels cool in his heart. But he was a teammate with Ratliff. Knowing how strong this guy is in blocking the basket, hesitated, mid-range jumper ...

"Wow ..."

Liu Mang took it back to the rim and grabbed a defensive rebound.

Rahim and Rasheed Wallace are away, Liu Mang is more active in rebounding, and his wingspan plus the advantage of bounce. He is still able to rebound. He has averaged 3.7 per game this year.

After Liu Mang grabbed a rebound, Ratliff did not move, and left the three-second zone to stand, because Liu Mang took the rebound and counterattacked!

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt. The Cavaliers could only keep up with James. When James retreated to the midline, he tried to block Liu Mang. Although James ’s attitude is good now, his defense is really urgent, which is average. In fact, until the 2008 Olympic Games, James' defense was so-so. Liu Mang made a fake move, and then James Liu jumped back to throw James behind him. The single-level 5 trigger triggered a soaring speed of 99.

James ca n’t catch up with him!

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt and gently dunked the ball into the basket, dunking it without force, to avoid affecting the feel. Although the opponent is not good today, he can't be blind waves, he must be very focused!

James looked at Liu Mang's completely different expression when he played with the previous two. James felt like he was stabbed in the heart.

It's a good brother! Do you want to be so serious!

James has seen such an expression of Liu Mang, only when playing the Nets!

But James was still a little happy in his heart, which proved that Liu Mang attached great importance to him.

The Eagles scored first in the next city.

When it came to the Cavaliers attack, James received Newbell's serve and pushed forward. This time he learned the essence. Seeing that Prince and Barnes were directly preparing to hit the ball, they began to accelerate just after halftime, regardless of James' current size. It's a little thinner than Barnes, but it's all muscle and full of explosiveness. When James accelerated to the three-point line, Prince and Barnes struck past, but they couldn't stop it!

James rushed into the inside. James, who completely sprinted, and Ratliff can only retreat. This guy is too fast and too fierce. Even if he pulls it down, he will have to pay a foul. James who sprints cannot stop.

James rushed to the basket and responded to Liu Mang with a dunk with one hand.

Liu Mang returned to the basket to prepare to serve, and when James shouted to return to defense after dunking, Liu Mang slapped his palm and said to James: "Very good, very good, and it's my turn."

Looking at Liu Mang's expressionless expression, James was puzzled when he retreated: "What do you mean?"

Then, James knew Liu Mang meant a few things.

Liu Mang pushed the ball to the frontcourt, the New Jersey singles Cavaliers' best outside defense, Newman's defense, Liu Mang is too familiar.

Newbell is more familiar with the toughness of Liu Mang's singles!

In the end is the retreat defense breakthrough? Still have to guard against three points? Or an emergency stop jumper? The more you understand Liu Mang, the more painful Newbell's defense is!

Although Liu Mang is not all-round, his individual singles are too comprehensive!

Liu Mang suddenly accelerated towards the right side, and Newbell, who was panicking, subconsciously stepped back a few steps. Liu Mang immediately withdrew and retreated three points ...

Continuing the fiery three-pointer in the last game, Liu Mang made a three-pointer shot!

5 consecutive points!

When the Cavaliers attacked again, James continued to choose to attack. This move is really unsolvable. There is no Rahim in the middle distance defense. Barnes and Prince are both single defense types. It is very effective in the face of singles with the ball. In the face of James's rampage, it is not as strong as when Rahim was there, and James was rushed into the inside layup.

The Cavaliers started biting the score, 4-5, did not break the score.

But when the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang was scared by Newber with a three-pointer, and Boozer came out to pick and roll, and then went down to the inside. Both Newbell and Eric Williams rushed to the basket. Liu Mang hit the ball, and the big Z blocked it in advance. Liu Mang attracted three people to hit the ball and immediately distributed it to Boozer who cut in from the left side of the basket. Boozer received the ball and dunked to score two points .

Liu Mang and James started the match!

After playing in the NBA for almost a season, James, who will increasingly use his physical advantage, originally had a high quotient. After finding a way to score, he has always chosen to accelerate the center line and force the two defensive players to attack the basket. The power of this move is indeed unsolvable. After the game started, he shot 6 of 8 shots. In addition to being disturbed by Latlive, he missed two shots. Now, the opening score of 13 points, the potential of the superstar is full!

In addition to attracting more and more defenses, James got more than two assists in the first half of the quarter and helped the Cavaliers score 17 points in seven minutes!

The Cavaliers' offensive efficiency starts!

However, the Hawks' scoring has never been broken. James understood what Liu Mang said.

After Liu Mang dunked a basket at the start and shot a three-pointer, he attracted a lot of defense, and then began to cooperate with Boozer pick-and-roll, and began to create opportunities for teammates, empty Boozer and Barnes, outside Prince waiting for the ball, and Ratliff crouching under the basket, are all Liu Mang's passers!

After Liu Mang scored 5 consecutive points, he sent 5 assists in a row! Forced the Cavaliers to choose the single defense again, so Liu Mang faced Newbell's defense, three-point shots to fire again!

Liu Mang scored 12 points, 5 assists and two rebounds in seven minutes to help the Hawks lead the Cavaliers 24 to 17 by 7 points!

This oppression makes James feel breathless!

He has tried his best to push the two defenses and break through. He has to face Latrive who is ready to make defenses in the interior. It only took seven minutes to play. The two defenders have broken through ten times! More than his usual game of playing the whole game!

The rhythm of both teams is too fast, because the defense on the Eagles side is not as oppressive as usual, so the rhythm is very fast! He shot a lot, and the score was too scary.

...

After the official suspension, the Hawks began to make substitutions. Liu Mang and Jason Terry played. Barnes, Mohammed and Kwame Brown lined up.

Cavaliers James continued to play, averaging 41 minutes of playing time in rookie year, James is also not easy, without Ricky Davis, Boozer is not their team, James must perform more A good chance to win, James took the lineup with Kevin Olly, Newbell, Diop, Tony Batty.

If the starting lineup Cavaliers still have some strength on the offensive end, for example, Newber and Eric Williams cut empty when James breaks through, helping James to attract the defensive attention of Ratliff and let James start. 8 out of 8, then Diop and Tony Batty ... it's totally negative.

The two have almost no sense of running position, and no shooting ability. In addition, James's style of play is really tiring, and the second half of the first quarter is obviously absent! James continued to forcibly attack Liu Mang and Barnes's defensive attack. This time James even lost an outside pitcher helper. Liu Mang can go to the attack. At the beginning, James can forcefully squeeze Liu Mang and Barnes into the inside , But even if he rushed into the inside, seeing Kwame Brown, Muhammad and even his own teammates Tony Batty and Diop squeezed together at the basket, James did not know how to play, teammates too blind! Anyway, pull the space away!

But if they have that kind of consciousness, Tony Batty will not be abandoned by the original team, and Diop will not be so good. He is still the No. 8 show, averaging 2 points and 3 rebounds in the third year of his career. .

James forced to hit the iron a few times, the Cavaliers offense was finally broken!

On the side of Liu Mang, he threw his arm and threw his body into the air. When the team rebounded, he defensively rebounded every time. He took several rebounds in the second half of the first quarter and won. The rebounds counterattacked, and with Barnes, Muhammad, Kwame Brown, three strong physical follow-up teammates, the Hawks cavalry tactics started!

The combination of Liu Mang and Jason Terry's backcourt double wave started a constant chasing three-pointer. You threw one and threw it in and continued to throw. If you don't arrive, you have to increase the speed.

The Cavaliers wanted to send two towers to suppress the excessive rhythm on the field, but even the big Z and Ratliff could not reduce the rhythm. These two are the third and fourth centers in other teams. The guy comes up, it's a burden!

The Eagles made a 16-6 scoring shock in the last five minutes of the first quarter!

40 points per session!

The Hawks led the Cavaliers by 17 points after playing 40 to 23 in the first quarter!

The Cavaliers scored 23 points, which was basically the same as their 93 points per game this season. That is, the Hawks did not really limit the Cavaliers' offense.

But the Hawks' own offense has exploded!

Liu Mang scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first quarter! Liu Mang, who is fully focused today, carefully studied the Cavaliers 'offensive and defensive before the game and used the Cavaliers' weaknesses to help the Hawks play the almost single-season game of the season!

In addition to finding opportunities to constantly trigger skills ~ www.readwn.com ~ Liu Mang did not use any tricks, it was not necessary for the Cavaliers, and he also respected James. He used a double-tipped attack, and there was nothing else to over-defense Too.

But that's it, Liu Mang didn't expect such a horrible performance!

If it is 18 points and 6 assists, this is okay. 18 + 6 in the single quarter is really amazing. It is not too much. There are many such data, but there are 5 rebounds. The performance of the game!

The first time he played James with James Liu, James played so badly, James didn't panic too much.

But today, James looked at Liu Mang who was following the tactics and using his strength to play this performance. The whole person is not good!

This guy is terrible!

Compared with the last time Maddie scored eight three-pointers in contempt, Liu Mang was under pressure from James this time, not worse than McGrady!

Six major "Jordan successors", James has played against all five others.

It is completely disdainful to Kobe, the Lakers are too strong, the Cavaliers are completely unstoppable, Kobe's kind of pride is only a few minutes to rest, and Carter riding a big Z dunk and dancing back to the defense also told him to let him also The kind of play mentality that comes to play is also different; and with Maddie's contemptuous two games, he scored more than 40 points in one game and scored 8 consecutive three-pointers without taking him in the eye, leaving a sentence The casual attitude of "Is a little stronger" is different; it is different from Iverson's return to use the speed to transfer his rookie who is still playing point guard.

Liu Mang looks exceptionally special!

Today's Liu Mang makes James feel very different!

Even if he counts himself, James feels that Liu Mang is the most distinguished "Jordan Successor"!
