1091. The Champion's Revenge Strikes

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown calls a timeout!

Just now, James took advantage of Iguodala's mental imbalance and caused Iguodala to commit a foul, and now it has become James's mental imbalance!

With 58 seconds left in the first quarter, Mike Brown replaced James first to calm down for a while.

Jason Terry, though he was punched in the chest, is now more excited than painful!

It's incredible! He actually stopped James!

Although I don't know why, Jason Terry is now more convinced of Liu Mang!

This guy seems to be able to do whatever he says!

Jason Terry was undoubtedly the hero to break the previous scorching situation, and when he returned to the bench, everyone came up and high-fived Jason Terry.

In fact, Liu Mang took a coincidence, when Iguodala defended James, he didn't give James a chance to ask for a position, but was picked up by James and shot directly, which was no different from the face frame.

And Jason Terry couldn't spare it at all when he went around the front, giving James a chance to catch the ball and play it back, so that he could use this to defend James.

If James catches the ball in the three-second zone and attacks the basket directly, if there is no inside guard under the basket, the outside line generally can't be defended.

But no matter how smart and high the ball quotient is, there will always be shortcomings.

James's weakness is that when he carries the basket, whether he is looking for a basket or a teammate, he is very poor now, and he can only make do after practicing for several years after 2011 in the future.

As a high school player with average skills in addition to ball control, after James entered the NBA, in addition to breaking and passing, everything else was practiced from scratch, and Kobe, Maddy and others had skilled skills in high school, James relied on his body for a long time in his career.

After the timeout, the Hawks' morale skyrocketed, and in the last minute or so of the first quarter, the Hawks went on a 5-0 run.

Liu Mang scored two points on a breakaway layup, and Jason Terry singled out Damon Jones for an easy three-pointer.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks were 31-19, and the Cavaliers were beaten 11-0 by the Hawks 3 minutes later! The Hawks entered the second quarter with a 12-point lead.

……

In the second quarter, the Hawks continued to field the outside trio of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Iguodala, and the inside was replaced by Josh Smith and Mourning.

For the Cavaliers, James was re-deployed, with Snow and Ronald Murray partnering the guard line, and on the inside, Alan Henderson and Vallejo came off the bench.

Compared with the relatively gorgeous starter, there is a big Z of the 96 generation, Larry Hughes, and the No. 4 show Gooden in 02, James's bench lineup is much worse, Liu Mang saw that in addition to the ability evaluation of Vallejo, an old teammate who averaged 6 points and 7 boards per game after playing time, James's other two teammates with a salary of nearly 4 million, Ronald Murray 65 ability evaluation, Alan Henderson, a 33-year-old veteran, has a 3.7 million contract and only 59 ability evaluation, Averaged 1.7 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.

Liu Mang feels that the Cavaliers management is very confused!

It took three years to gradually reduce the contract of 10 million for a total of 10 million from the Mavericks, I really can't understand it, Alan Henderson only had 3 points and 4 boards last season, where is it worth it?

At the end of the intermission, the Cavaliers attacked first.

Iguodala continued to defend James, who played okay when Larry Hughes wasn't there and he was playing with the ball.

But after Larry Hughes re-entered the game, he never went to the low post again.

More than three minutes before the start of the second quarter, the Cavaliers also scored four points, James also caused a foul on Mourning on a breakthrough layup, but he missed the free throw, and a layup from Ronald Murray, who passed the ball to the empty cut, helped the Cavaliers score four points.

But after Larry Hughes came up, Liu Mang saw that if Larry Hughes held the ball, James would either cut directly to the basket and receive the ball in the middle distance, or pull it to shoot three points outside the three-point line, and no longer go to the low post to receive the ball and attack the basket directly, and even dare not catch the ball and attack the basket.

James became more and more hesitant to play, there was no ball in his hand, and he didn't know how to play, originally after Larry Hughes came back, the two had a good cooperation, but it was all gone at once!

James didn't have 10 points and 2 assists in a single quarter in the first quarter, in fact, it was as sharp as 10 points and 2 assists in the first eight minutes, and the strength of the Cavaliers plummeted from the middle of the second quarter!

From the start, relying on James and Larry Hughes' offense, teammates' open shots, and the Cavaliers' outside defense, the Cavaliers and Hawks played evenly without Maddie and Rasheed Wallace.

But just after Jason Terry defended James in the low post, and three times in a row, the Cavaliers collapsed.

And it's a kind of collapse!

In the original time and space, Liu Mang didn't know how the partnership between Larry Hughes and James, who could be regarded as a poor version of Janeway's connection, collapsed in the original time and space, maybe it was an injury, but now, James doesn't want to play without the ball with Larry Hughes!

From the bottom of your heart, refuse to attack the basket by catching the ball in the low post!

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers still relied on scoring 4 points, and when the Hawks only scored 6 points in more than three minutes in the second quarter, they barely maintained the difference within 15 points.

But after Larry Hughes started possessing the ball, the Cavaliers collapsed.

The Cavaliers only scored more than 10 points in the second quarter, and 16 points in a single quarter!

The Hawks played average in the second quarter, except for Liu Mang who scored 6 points and 3 assists, got three assists and an indirect assist after a pass, helped Korver and Kwame Brown who reappeared to score a total of 10 points, and Josh Smith scored two points with a dunk, Jason Terry, who was overly excited, only scored 5 points, and the Hawks only scored 23 points in the second quarter, but when the Cavaliers only scored 16 points in a single quarter, the Hawks played 54-35 at halftime and led by 19 points at halftime!

The Eagles didn't score particularly high, less than the average half-time score of the season, and the abuse moment of James, which is loved every year, is here again......

In the third quarter, Liu Mang turned on the scoring mode in the absence of Maddie, another team with an average of 20+ scorers per game, and said word by word - wave!

The strength of the third quarter showed a huge disparity, and the Hawks scored 27-17 in a single quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Hawks were 81-52, leading the Cavaliers by 29 points!

James scored 10 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, only scored 5 points in the second and third quarters combined, and played 15 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in the third quarter......

In the end, with Liu Mang's performance of 23 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists in the third quarter, the Hawks defeated the Cavaliers 106-79, pressing the Cavaliers' score to less than 80 points!

After the game, Jason Terry, who was the maker of the key turning point, went to be interviewed, and Jason Terry and James of the opposing team became popular again in this ESPN live broadcast!

……

……

With two straight wins, the Hawks' record improved to 31-2.

The day after playing the Cavaliers, Liu Mang didn't care about the pitiful public opinion attack of James falling into "poor skills", and immediately returned to Atlanta with the team.

After returning to Atlanta, Liu Mang only rested for one night, and the next day, he immediately started back-to-back again, and now on January 10, he ushered in the game against the Celtics.

Last summer, the Celtics gave up Antoine Walker and let Antoine Walker join the Heat, and the Celtics accelerated the pace of swinging because some players couldn't hold back the idea of leaving.

This season, the Celtics are directly rotten, except for the Knicks who are completely rotten, and now the Celtics are the worst team in the East, with a 13-34 record ranking second to last in the East, if it weren't for the fact that the Knicks have now become the only team in the league that has not won a double-double, the Celtics really want to fight Banjani like Duncan, and select Banjani as a trade chip, some teams want it.

However, playing the Hawks, the Celtics still play very hard, as Celtics players, they don't want to see a new team win three consecutive championships, even if it is disgusting to the other party, they will play desperately.

However, in this game, Maddie and Rasheed Wallace returned, although Kwame Brown and Prince took turns resting, but Liu Mang and Maddie's two major scorers combined to score 70 points, Liu Mang played 31 minutes and got 27 points, 14 assists and 3 rebounds, Maddie played 41 minutes and got 43 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, the two helped the Hawks 122-105, easily defeated the Celtics, won three consecutive wins, and Liu Mang additionally got the 3000 superstar value of the task of defeating the Celtics, the strongest team in history.

After beating the Celtics, the Hawks followed up with back-to-back games against the Wizards......

The Celtics are not bad, although they were scored 122 points by the Hawks, but they themselves scored more than 100 points, which is not particularly ugly, and it is a rare game to win this season.

But the Wizards were miserable......

Only 61 points in the game!

Although the Eagles only scored 108 points, Liu Mang only scored 14 points and 10 assists in the first half, and didn't play in the second half, but the Hawks scored 70 points in the first half! The Wizards scored just 25 points in the first half......

In the second half, the Hawks replaced pure benches, and even Jason Terry, Iguodala, and Josh Smith were all Hughes in the fourth quarter, so that Calderon, Barry, Granger, Horry, and David Lee's lineup went up, and they all beat the Wizards 22-14, and the Wizards didn't resist, and when the Hawks didn't start a single game in the second half, the Hawks extended their 45-point lead at halftime to 47 points......

Bloodmassacre!

Not only Arenas, but all the players on the Wizards felt that they had met the Hawks, and they were collectively depressed, and even Jamison, who was originally a stable player, withered......

……

The schedule in January is very urgent for the Eagles, but the Eagles' record is still good, after all, Liu Mang is here, and this group of teammates has cooperated for more than a year, the tacit understanding is already very good, as Liu Mang's organization of the offense is becoming more and more proficient, after beginning to feel the way to organize the offense, the Eagles will not be worse even if they take turns to rest, Liu Mang not only has the ability to be a scorer to raise the team's ceiling, the ability to ensure the team's lower limit, but also gradually looks like it.

However, in terms of record, the Hawks are starting to decline from the madness of losing a total of one game in the previous two months.

After four consecutive wins, the Hawks were scored 44 points by Carter in the first game of the five-game winning streak, Kidd had a triple-double, and lost to the Nets 94-105, and then another four-game winning streak of four games in five days, the first three of the four-game winning streak, the first game the Hawks beat the Bulls by 40 points, and then another wave of three-game winning streaks, but in the second game of the second back-to-back game against the Jazz, facing the Jazz who were fighting for the playoffs, the Hawks who were missing Maddie and Jason Terry, were ended by the Jazz with a three-game winning streak, and the record became 36-4.

After a five-game losing streak, the Hawks returned to Atlanta on January 21, and the brutal schedule of 12 games in the previous 20 days finally came to an end.

In addition to the 21st, there are 10 days left in January, and the Hawks still have 5 games, but fortunately, except for the 31st, the other 4 games are all at home, and the Hawks can finally stay in Atlanta to play a few home games in a row, and they are not back-to-back, so they can be relieved.

……

……

Although the Hawks had a 9-3 record in the first 12 games in January, this record is still the first in the league......

In addition to the Hawks, as of now, in January, the league has entered a period of fatigue for both fans and players, and the team with the most wins is the Spurs, who have won 7-3 and maintained their winning rate in the early 70s this season, and the Spurs only have 15 games in January, which is much easier than the Hawks.

Liu Mang looked at his team's 90 percent win rate, which was originally higher, once 100 percent, but now it has fallen to 90 percent, although 90 percent is already terrifying, it is still the first win rate in history, and it has broken the Hawks' own winning rate in the first 41 games in NBA history, but people are like that, they always want better.

After looking at the last 5 opponents, first the home team played the Nets on the 22nd, the Raptors on the 24th, the Timberwolves on the 26th, and finally the 31st to play the Knicks in the basketball mecca, these four opponents are relatively not so strong opponents, especially the Hawks this season.

Especially the Eagles have been at home this season...... Haven't lost yet!

Standard "home dragon" team.

When the Devils play those strong teams at home, in addition to affecting the mood of the other party, it actually has little effect, just like the Salt Lake City Devils' home court, it can only scare those rookies and weak teams, but this is enough, so that the Eagles can be stable when they abuse vegetables at home.

However, there is an opponent who is quite worthy of fear in Liu Mang's opinion!

San Antonio Spurs!

On January 28, that is, January 29 in China, the evening of the United States, and the morning of the Spring Festival in China, the Spurs challenged the Hawks' "Championship Revenge Battle" away, and they were the strongest opponents of the Hawks in January except for the Rockets.

Liu Mang has been looking forward to this game for a long time, in addition to the New Year's Day battle against the Rockets in January, what he is looking forward to the most is the Spring Festival war launched by the court sports station and the NBA!
