1153. The Poor Man's Version of the "Love Janway" Combo

Playing against James made Liu Mang more and more excited.

The main thing is that this guy is really improving fast!

There is pressure to be motivated, James is forced to move forward because of the pressure brought by Liu Mang, because of the targeting of other opponents for his one more step layup, and because the league forced to limit his layup steps to four steps to give other opponents the opportunity to target.

In addition to cheekily taking advantage of the league's favoritism and not being firm enough to open the peak huddle mode, James really didn't get black from other angles, whether it was deliberately to create a good image or other reasons, James has done a very good job since the beginning of his career, professional attitude, training effort, and dealing with people, and he has become accustomed to it later, and has always maintained such a basketball attitude and way of dealing with people.

In the original time and space, Kobe Bryant was the star that basketball fans of the 70s, 80s and 90s liked to remember the most, and in the future, James will also become the most cherished star of the 80s and 90s.

At this stage, fans and media are already advocating the battle between Liu Mang and James, and the competition between Kobe and James for the first person in American basketball, but whether it is Kobe or Liu Mang, the relationship with James is not bad.

The main reason is that the three of them are the same kind of people, and the goal of all three of them is to become the strongest.

Since the beginning of the season, James has become less tolerant of him because of the determination of the layup rules, and his strength has been "limited", in fact, it is more of a return to a level close to his normal, one more step to the layup and the referee is undisciplined and he takes a few more steps, which will definitely make him use the rules of play to be greatly restricted, but genius is genius, after all, the entire NBA is used to him taking one more step, and the four-step layup is gradually being used better and better by him, fifty or sixty games have passed, James regained his ability rating of 93!

"LeBron James, Ability Rating 93, Offense 92, Defense 84, Passing 86, Rebounds 82, Three-Point 79, Shooting 61, Layup 94, Speed 92, Power 90......"

Liu Mang looked at James, who was dancing with Prince, what a terrible guy!

Really-talented to the naked eye!

Just told him that he should strengthen the skills he is good at, and he has really become stronger, and the three points are close to the quasi-first-class!

Thinking that this guy will shoot more and more three-pointers in the future...... Liu Mang feels that the strongest opponent in the future is really this guy.

I'm only 21 years old...... It's scary to be a superstar next season!

For the terrifying James, Liu Mang still has a little expectation......

For James, playing the Hawks...... It's something that makes him happy and heartbroken.

He was very excited to play against Liu Mang, and he always wanted to fight Liu Mang against, and he was in the opposite position with Liu Mang and Maddie, and he could learn a lot by watching the way they played.

Learn Liu Mang's understanding of tactics and learn how Maddie uses her talents.

However, the heart is stuffed with Liu Mang who is more excited to see him, and every time he kills him, it is too difficult to win, and the Hawks may be slack when they play many teams, but the team that played their top five picks in the 03 generation, since they didn't take the Nuggets in their eyes and lost once with fatigue, and then met the team led by the top five picks of their 03 generation, it was the same as playing chicken blood.

So, James' current thinking is ......

It's better to dance!

James initially refused to rely on the title of "King of Dancers" to attract popularity and make money, but now, he is feeling an increase in off-court income

Even Prince relied on square dancing, and his off-court income in the past two years has reached more than 7 million US dollars, which is higher than his 1 million US dollar sneaker endorsement and first-round show contract income combined!

And...... It is certain that Prince's future contract will not be higher than the off-court income brought by square dancing.

James is very red-eyed, for the time being, from the business perspective of basketball, he doesn't have to think about fighting with Liu Mang, he can't fight at all, in the United States, James's popularity may be similar to Liu Mang, slightly better than Kobe, but the wind is not good, Nike will not increase the endorsement fee for Liu Mang's face, Nike didn't understand what Liu Mang insisted on asking for 90 million plus 1 US dollar for the endorsement fee, but after James signed the contract, he understood that Uncle Weiss had already expected James's endorsement fee, wants to make Liu Mang the star with the highest endorsement fee in the basketball industry.

It seems that this is not important, but it is very important for Liu Mang's commercial endorsement, Liu Mang and other stars endorse the brand, Liu Mang almost always has the highest endorsement fee, because Nike has made a start.

In terms of sneakers, if James doesn't win an MVP or championship, it will be difficult to surpass Liu Mang, but after James became the King of Bliss this year, there have been a lot more endorsements, and the sneakers have sold better......

Unlike other local fans who advocate the confrontation between Liu Mang and James, Atlanta and Cleveland fans get along very well, and Hawks fans like James quite a lot, mainly because of the team that meets this guy, and the Hawks are basically equal to one more win......

Seeing James and Prince fighting, the fans at the scene were cheering.

On James's side, his agent team helped him hire a bunch of dance teachers to help him design his dance steps.

If a star wants to be hot, he needs a personality.

Kobe Bryant's character is "paranoid", although Kobe himself doesn't know why his character is popular, especially when he is more popular than Jordan in overseas areas, but when he is popular, he is on fire, and his character is paranoid.

Liu Mang's character is "shameless", Liu Mang is very sorry for this character, but he is closer to the behavior pattern of ordinary people and is loved by many fans, of course, his controversy is higher than Kobe Bryant and Jordan.

And James's character at the beginning was "the future king", but he became a "crab" under the guise of fighting, with high popularity but not very good reviews, people who like him say that he will definitely be good in the future when he is young, and if he doesn't like it, he will die black.

But now James has a new character, "The King of Bliss", this character is much more likable, and he and his agent team want to maintain this character well until their popularity in basketball can surpass this character.

And......

After getting used to this character, James thinks it's pretty good......

On Prince's side, he didn't have so much money to hire a dance teacher, so he mainly figured it out by himself, and after James launched a new version of the dance steps of the Pure Land of Bliss, Prince pestered Liu Mang and got some dance moves.

Now the "King of Dancing Dispute" between James and Prince has entered a white heat.

As for who will become the king of kings in the end, it will depend on the future creation......

……

After a wave of awkward dancing, the game between the Hawks and Cavaliers officially began as Rasheed Wallace's roaring video detonated the already enthusiastic fans.

On the Hawks' side, Rashid Wallace was rested on the inside, Maddy was rested on the outside, and Liu Mang, Prince, Horry, David Lee, and Kwame Brown started the game.

On the Cavaliers' side, the starting lineup of Eric Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, and Big Z came on.

The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown won the jump ball again.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers' outside defensive combination, which may be second only to the Hawks in the East, put a lot of pressure on him.

Snow, Larry Hughes, James, two quasi-first-class defensive masters and one top defensive master, this combination of defense really has nothing to say, and it can barely be regarded as a poor man's version of the defensive combination of Janway.

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, facing Larry Hughes's sticky defense, seeing that Snow and James were both pressing to defend Prince and Horry, not giving the two a chance to catch the ball, and learned that the opponent's "defensive assistant coach" Mike Brown integrated the defensive style of the "Love Janway" defensive combination he made in the All-Star Weekend into their team.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Cavaliers did a better job of defense on the outside, on the one hand, Larry Hughes recovered better and returned to a defensive ability close to last season, on the other hand, the Cavaliers implemented the oppressive defense on the outside, plus the inside line has the commanding heights of the big Z under the basket, the Cavaliers have done a good job of defense, from the overall defensive efficiency of the league's thirteenth in the league's middle before the All-Star weekend to the league's ninth overall defensive efficiency in the league for more than a month after the All-Star Weekend.

Liu Mang dribbled by changing direction and came to the right side of the top arc, Larry Hughes did not lose position, defended well, stepped on the three-point line, once Liu Mang had the action of retreating, he immediately pressed up, and would rather Liu Mang break through than give Liu Mang space to throw super long three-pointers.

Larry Hughes didn't play very well with the Cavaliers, but he got that much money, he still played on a stronger team, he had more chances to win than he did with the Wizards, he didn't work less, and he worked as hard as ever on the defensive end.

In the face of Larry Hughes's defense, Liu Mang did not break through directly at first, but first faced Larry Hughes's defense, and threw a three-point coldly, but unfortunately Larry Hughes defended very well, and he predicted that Liu Mang would shoot directly and interfere with it well.

Liu Mang missed a three-point shot in the opening game, Big Z stuck Kwame Brown, and James retracted to the basket to grab the defensive rebound.

James handed the ball to Snow and the Cavaliers slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

For James, the current lineup is a limitation of his strength, too slow!

Snow, Gooden and Big Z are slow, and even with an outside pressing defense, the Cavaliers will struggle to fight back.

Fortunately, James has an All-Star-level outside teammate like Larry Hughes this season, Snow pushed the ball to the front court and passed it to James, James gave the ball to Larry Hughes, and Larry Hughes scored two points in the face of Horry's strong defense and threw to the edge of the three-second zone.

Hawks fans feel like Horry ...... What a "BUG"!
