Fans don't quite understand what Coach Kruger is trying to do when he wants to send Horry on the rest.

If it was Horry two or three years ago, the defense was strong enough to defend against Raheem, the offense was strong enough to shoot three points in response to the ball, and there was no problem playing as a starter.

But now, Horry, who is about to be 36 years old, has no defense to defend, no three-point shooting, and no passing has the coquettish strategy of averaging 4 assists per game in his peak.

Horry has become the biggest "BUG" in the Hawks lineup, this BUG is not to say how good he is, but to become a loophole used by opponents!

The Cavaliers took the lead at the beginning!

After the Cavaliers scored, the inside quickly retreated, and the outside trio began to press all over the court!

Pressing the opponent's mistakes, after the All-Star weekend, the Cavaliers are in first place in the league!

Compared to the Hawks, who sometimes look down on the opponent's defense and become lax, the Cavaliers have always maintained a very oppressive defense, unlike the Eagles, who do not have the capital to look down on the opponent.

Liu Mang made a quick run to create a chance to catch the ball, and after receiving David Lee's serve, he advanced forward under the tight defense of Larry Hughes's full-court defense, narrowly advancing the ball through the half court before the eight-second violation.

It's not that I don't want to pass to other teammates in advance to bring the rhythm up, but I don't have a chance!

The Cavaliers' outside defensive pressure is too much, and in the original time and space, the Cavaliers were able to step on the Wizards team with Arenas, Caron Butler, and Antoine Jamison, because Snow, Larry Hughes, and James's outside pressing defense was really powerful.

And this time, the Cavaliers' outside trio has become stronger defensively and more targeted.

After Liu Mang arrived at the frontcourt, Larry Hughes quickly retreated to the three-point line to prevent Liu Mang from taking the opportunity to break through, and Liu Mang couldn't stop him when he rushed up.

Liu Mang came to a big step outside the top arc, saw Larry Hughes's small broken step, as long as he made a strong shot, Larry Hughes could pounce as soon as possible.

Feeling the defensive pressure brought by Larry Hughes, Liu Mang did not choose to continue shooting, this guy's defense against the ball carrier is really good, and he can win the best defense at the beginning of the century, not just casually.

Looking at the space separated by such a big step, Liu Mang chose to accelerate the breakthrough!

"Ding...... The strongest first step is triggered, and the host's speed is +5...... within 2 seconds."

Top defenders are very confident in their defense, Larry Hughes is confident that he can block Liu Mang when Liu Mang is accelerating, but when Liu Mang's speed soars, Larry Hughes just sticks to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang has occupied the entire breakthrough space!

Fortunately, James's side knew Liu Mang better, and let go of Horry to make up for it as soon as possible, and it was very fast, and the bag clamp was completed very well, and he and Larry Hughes clamped Liu Mang on the right side of the free throw line.

Liu Mang jumped against James......

There was no room to shoot, and only one open space was found in the air, and Snow's side limited Prince's poor running well, and Liu Mang passed the ball to Horry.

After landing, Liu Mang immediately retreated, the Cavaliers couldn't afford to play fast offense, James and Larry Hughes were still able to break fast, so it was necessary for the Hawks to retreat from the outside.

But as soon as Liu Mang ran to the middle circle, there were crazy cheers at the scene!

Liu Mang turned his head to see that Huo Li was flicking his hands away, with a contemptuous look, making a helpless look.

That virtue is exactly the same as the expression of the king in 2002!

Watching Big Z pick up the ball and exit the bounds, Liu Mang knew that Horry scored the first empty three-point score today!

Horry played 50 games this season, averaging 2.6 three-pointers per game, throwing a total of 130 three-pointers, throwing 29 three-pointers, shooting less than 25 percent, and never scored on the first shot, either played less time and didn't shoot three-pointers, or shot four or five into one, and actually started the first shot today!

Whether it was a blind cat or not, but Horry scored three points, and the fans were very happy!

Spit and complain, most fans are still looking forward to Horry's key ball ability, with Horry such a key killer in the team, there are more choices at critical moments, it is always a good thing for the Eagles, it is one thing to use it or not, whether there is the most important thing, so the fans are relatively tolerant of Horry, and if he dares to throw it like that with a hit rate of more than 20 percent, he has already been sprayed to death, just because he is Horry.

It is the norm for Horry not to score, and if he enters, he earns it.

Liu Mang's action of returning to defense after passing the ball is usually ridiculed by fans and TV commentators, but this time, it looks like "trust" in his teammates.

It is indeed trust, Liu Mang trusts Huo Li and will never be able to enter, while others look very different.

The fans who watched the game and the fans in front of the TV set that watched the live broadcast of the American cable television station in the United States looked at Liu Mang and Huo Li as if they were pretending to be forced together......

Offense and defense switch, Cavaliers offense.

Horry's three-point shooting was quite unexpected by the Cavaliers, and they were so decisive in their pinch because Horry has been in very poor form this year.

But it doesn't matter if he goes in, he can't defend, James advanced to the front court and gave the ball to Larry Hughes, Larry Hughes continued to single Horry, Liu Mang quickly pinched up, Larry Hughes distributed the ball to Snow in the middle distance of the baseline, Snow hit a mid-range jumper.

At 4-3, the Cavaliers still led by one point at the beginning.

Immediately after the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang burst into the middle distance, this time James did not dare to pinch at the first time, Horry just threw one, he had to let his hand cool for a while, and then go to flank.

Liu Mang burst into the middle distance, because there were a bunch of people under the basket, and chose a pull-up jump shot from the free throw line......

The start was a bit poor, and the habitual slow heat after playing a strong team appeared, and Gooden guarded the rebound.

The offense and defense switched, the whole team couldn't fight back, James received the ball and came by himself!

A dragon who fights back!

Prince did a good job of retreating, defending James' first three steps to the basket, and Liu Mang also pounced back, but James took two steps and then jumped in the third step and then got up with a backhand licking basket to shoot.

James's four-step layup is already part of the rules, after the first two steps of the three major steps, anyone can jump the third step and then make a shot, not a step, but only James will take advantage of this move.

This is something that players in the league are used to.

However, James's move to lick the basket is really powerful, James's skills are now recognized, only three points, good ball control, good breakthrough points, and this hand licking the basket, as long as there is room to lick the basket after entering the basket for him to shoot, it seems that he can put the ball in no matter what.

3 to 6!

Seeing James' layup, Liu Mang really had nothing to say about James's layup ability.

But think about it, if James couldn't even make a layup, he wouldn't be able to attract so many bags without mid-range shots and three-point looks.

The Cavaliers started a little hard!

Although James and his teammates did not have great expectations for beating the Hawks, they worked hard and scored three goals in a row in the opening game to beat the Hawks 6-3!

Coach Krueger is wandering the sky, without calling a timeout, handing over the game to the players on the field, the tactical structure has been laid out, it depends on the players' performance.

Liu Mang received the serve and continued to push forward under the defense of Larry Hughes.

Larry Hughes' defense is still the same, the main three-point defense, and the breakaway can be defended.

Liu Mang accelerated to the middle distance and made a stop-and-go jump shot......

Still missed!

The fans at the scene were just excited after Horry's three-point shot, and couldn't help but let out a "oh ......" disappointed sound again.

However, this time Liu Mang felt that something was wrong when he shot, and after landing, he rushed into the interior like an arrow, and grabbed the rebound that he threw out on the left inside edge of the basket on the right side of the three-second zone.

At this time, James, Larry Hughes and Gooden came over together, and Liu Mang was strong!

"Ding...... Triggered by the air magician at level 5, the host can deceive the opponent when jumping and retreating, and the ......"

All three of the Cavaliers jumped towards Liu Mang, but Liu Mang threw the ball behind his head......

Horry desperately ran to the 45-degree angle of the right sideline to receive the ball, and when he turned around, his body was already uncontrollable and flew out of bounds, but Horry pushed the ball towards the basket in the air and pushed the ball towards the basket......

Just when the fans felt that Liu Mang's pass was too casual and would lead to a mistake, Horry's three-point shot fell into the basket!

Horry scored two three-pointers in a row!

6 to 6 draw!

The Cavaliers played a beautiful start, Liu Mang made two zero shots in the opening game, but Horry received Liu Mang's ball twice and helped Liu Mang add two assists!

The Hawks players on the sidelines went crazy and all stood up, and Jason Terry leaned back against his teammates, looking like you don't pull me, I'm going to fight for Horiby.

It's incredible!

Speaking of which, these are just two empty three-pointers, if Horry is two years younger and his pace is faster, Liu Mang's pass, he will not say that he almost missed the unstable ball because he ran too quickly, it is two very good passes, replaced by Korver or Maddie, it is normal for these two goals to score, even if it is changed to a more ordinary three-point player, it is normal to score.

But this is Hori!

That pit guy who has cultivated a hundred three-point iron postures in Los Angeles!

After scoring the goal, Horry got up and retreated by himself like a nobody, retreating as if he hadn't done anything, and his strength pretended to be forced!

It's time for the Cavaliers to attack again, the Cavaliers started really well today, James received the ball, took a step across the three-point line, and directly flew a three-point wave.

James feels so good today!

But then, Horry, who used David Lee to block and dismantle Liu Mang's pass without the ball, faced Gooden, who switched defenses, and hit the three-point shot again!

9-9 draw!

The Cavaliers started the game with four straight hits, but the Hawks still didn't fall behind!

Liu Mang had scolded Huo Li in his heart for not knowing how many times, but now he feels ...... It's great to have Hori!
