At half past seven in the evening, the game began.

The Hawks fielded a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Korver, Horry, and Kwame Brown.

The Cavaliers fielded a starting lineup of Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, Big Z.

Kwame Brown won the jump ball with an easy win over Big Z.

Liu Mang received the ball and advanced towards the frontcourt.

Just past the halfway line, I was met with Larry Hughes's half-time pressing!

The pressing defensive counter-attacking tactics of Larry Hughes and James on the front line were a regular tactic for the Cavaliers in the first three games since Larry Hughes returned.

Liu Mang carefully guarded the ball and advanced to the right side of the top arc, and Larry Hughes's hand was so fast that he almost stabbed the ball.

And Larry Hughes is not like Baron Davis and Iverson, steals are not tackles, there is no out-of-position, and he relies on pressing the defense to seize the opportunity to come coldly.

Fortunately, Liu Mang is very jealous of this top defensive player who still has a 90% defensive ability evaluation at the beginning of his injury, and he protects the ball when he sees Larry Hughes pressing up.

Unlike last season when Larry Hughes was with the Wizards, he had to worry about Liu Mang's passing, worried that his teammates would be thrown away by off-ball players all of a sudden, and still wanted to make up for defense, Larry Hughes after coming to the Cavaliers can devote himself to single defense.

Liu Mang forced a feint and wanted to retreat, but he was stuck to death, and he couldn't get rid of Larry Hughes!

After Liu Mang took a step back, he wanted to use the strongest first step to explode and accelerate, but Larry Hughes stuck very tightly, did not give Liu Mang the space to trigger the strongest first step, and did not give Liu Mang a chance to break through directly because of the sticking defense!

In the first attack, Liu Mang felt a sense of suffocation from Larry Hughes's single defense!

Larry Hughes, the player who is in the first team of the All-Defensive Team, is really good at one-on-one defense!

According to last season's statistics, Kobe, Wade, and Carter faced Larry Hughes, and none of them had a shooting rate of more than 40 percent!

Liu Mang's offense was too sticky this time, and the offense time could only be seven seconds, so he could only choose a strong burst, rushing to the right side of the free throw line under Larry Hughes's sticky defense, and failed to get rid of the defense, and made a strong step-back jumper......

"Bang ......"

Iron!

Gooden grabs a defensive rebound!

Liu Mang glanced at Larry Hughes's sluggish face and immediately retreated.

Liu Mang found that he still underestimated Larry Hughes, he had the impression that Larry Hughes's stats plummeted after he arrived at the Cavaliers, but now he finds that it is only on the offensive end, and the defensive end can do better!

Because Arenas will not be held back, they can focus on defense, and they will not be stunned when the whole team encounters Liu Mang because the core of the team is Arenas.

The Cavaliers wanted to fight back, but fortunately, Liu Mang deliberately burst into the middle distance before making a shot, and the ball did not bounce too far, giving the Eagles time to retreat.

James received a pass from Gooden, advanced to the frontcourt, and saw James coming, Liu Mang decisively ran towards Larry Hughes, and Prince went to defend James.

In the face of Prince's defense, James did not choose to attack strongly, and burst under the basket to face Prince and Kwame Brown, even James felt choked.

James beckoned for a pick-and-roll.

Liu Mang is ready to help defend at any time, but I don't know if it is Gudeng or Da Z to block and dismantle, both of them have excellent mid-range shooting ability.

But! Liu Mang actually saw Larry Hughes running towards James!

Liu Mang hurriedly followed, Larry Hughes didn't look thin, the confrontation was very good, and he blocked Prince to death, and Liu Mang and Prince immediately switched defenses.

And then......

Liu Mang defends James alone!

"Oh, this stinky and shameless high school student who looks so old, pinch the master as a soft persimmon!"

Liu Mang scolded secretly, stayed within the three-point line, and waited for the battle.

It's not okay not to change the defense just now, Larry Hughes and James are both players with strong cutting ability, if they don't change defenses, there is always one who can't stop it, and they rush up directly to the inside, and Kwame Brown has nothing to do.

Just when Liu Mang lowered his center of gravity and was about to block it to meet the impact, James, who was still stepping on the three-point line with one foot, suddenly put away the ball, stepped back, and made a three-point shot half a step across the three-point line!

"I'll go!"

Liu Mang immediately pounced, but he lowered his center of gravity before, it was an accelerated posture, and he was a beat slower when he jumped, and the other party was probably more than ten centimeters taller than him! The point is that although James is tall, he may be able to jump more than Liu Mang!

Liu Mang reached out to block James' eyes as much as he could, and James stepped back to make a three-point shot......

The ball hits the inside edge of the basket, turns around twice at high speed, makes a "buzzing" sound, and then falls into the basket!

The scene immediately burst into loud cheers!

James singled out Liu Mang and actually used a step-back step to shoot the ball in three points!

Looking at James' celebration of kicking his knees and pressing down with both hands, Liu Mang was so angry!

This guy then stepped back and scored three points!

That's!

In fact, although he didn't make any shots, James was already good at three-pointers in his sophomore year, averaging 1.4 three-pointers per game on 35 percent shooting rate last season, and 1.6 three-pointers per game this season, but he didn't have confidence in shooting.

But to beat Liu Mang today, as long as there is a chance, even if you don't have any confidence, you have to vote decisively.

Of course, the tactical intent is not to have too many opportunities to counterattack with the original pressing defensive counterattack combination with James and Larry Hughes, so the Hawks sent a positional battle lineup.

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced to the front court, and continued to encounter Larry Hughes's close defense, this time Liu Mang's offensive choice was clearer, beckoning Horry to come out to block and dismantle.

Horry came to the right side of the top arc to help Liu Mang block Larry Hughes, and Liu Mang accelerated to break through!

"Ding...... Demolition Master triggers at level 5, speed +8 ...... in two seconds"

Liu Mang's speed increased to the limit of 102, and he rushed to the inside line like lightning, and Gu Deng was passed by Liu Mang before he could stand firm.

The Cavaliers have long been on guard against this, Larry Hughes rushed to the inside line as soon as he was blocked, and Gooden immediately caught up, plus the big Z who stepped out of the reasonable collision zone, the three of the Cavaliers pinched Liu Mang!

After Liu Mang entered the free throw line, because the big Z inside covered too much area, he couldn't see Kwame Brown, so he immediately distributed the ball to the top arc, Horry received the ball, and before James made up the defense, he caught the ball with three points......

Iron again! Horry has played three games in a row and hasn't made a single three-pointer.

Liu Mang's egg hurts, the space for this lineup is very good, people directly let Huo Li empty, this guy can't even throw!

Fortunately, Liu Mang did an excellent job of judging the landing point of the rebound, grabbed before Gooden, jumped high to collect the rebound, and then passed to Korver on the right sideline, Korver received the ball and shot a three-point shot......

Finally in!

3-3 draw!

The Eagles quickly stepped back and switched between offense and defense, and James received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.

is still looking for Larry Hughes to block and dismantle, James just wants to hit Liu Mang.

Liu Mang also accepted his fate, quickly changed his defense, and couldn't give the other party a chance to cut in easily.

Liu Mang immediately pasted it towards James after encountering the block, and he couldn't give this courtesan whose petals withered prematurely a chance to shoot three points.

James made such a decisive three-point shot for the first time, and that's it!

Liu Mang is on the defensive, James is not afraid, and he crushes Liu Mang to break through! Moreover, leaving Liu Mang behind, James does not have to worry about being stuck to Liu Mang and then blocked by Kwame Brown.

James burst to the right side of the basket, Kwame Brown has rushed to this side, James splits the ball to the left baseline in the three-second zone, and the big Z catches the ball in the baseline and throws in!

5 to 3!

The Cavaliers have the advantage in the opening quarter!

Although Larry Hughes came to the Cavaliers, his talent on the offensive end was limited, and on the offensive end, he may be able to play more freely off the bench with James, but this does not mean that he is useless to the Cavaliers, but it is very useful, a defensive player who can also have an average of 20+ strength per game is a supplement for any team, but he can not play his full strength.

Although Larry Hughes has less ball, his defense and air-cut threat are the best teammates James has ever had on the outside, which makes James play better!

From the very beginning of the game, I was anxious, and I originally wanted to see how Liu Mang abused his little emperor today, but I found that today was a little different from the last time!

Playing and fighting, Cavaliers fans found that their team had one less superstar on the other side without Maddie, and James plus Larry Hughes and Big Z could compete with Liu Mang and Kwame Brown!

Although Liu Mang made a 2+1 in the first seven minutes of the first quarter, and also got two offensive rebounds and two assists, Kwame Brown also got one offensive rebound and scored 5 points at the beginning, and the Hawks scored 13 points in the first seven minutes, but the Cavaliers did not lag behind, and still led by 1 point, James got 5 points and 3 assists, helping the Cavaliers enter the official timeout 14-13!

……

At the break, the managers of both teams were setting up their defenses.

James was eating popcorn out of nowhere, and he was eating very deliciously, and he was in a good mood today!

Liu Mang is also having a headache on how to prevent James and Larry Hughes's blocking, which is completely the poor version of the Heat's Big Three!

Coach Kruger was also helpless, Horry shot 0 of 3 three-pointers, Liu Mang didn't dare to pass the ball to him, and two breakthroughs were strong shots, but fortunately, Kwame Brown grabbed the rebound twice, made up one, and one caused Gooden to foul one of two free throws, and the Hawks stabilized the offense.

But Hori has to use it! You have to use the right to shoot, the players produced in Los Angeles are like this, you have to let him play iron, so that it can be used at the real critical moment, the previous Lakers, Spurs, and regular season were all raised by Horry in this way.

One game allowed Horry to play for more than ten minutes, and now it has been seven minutes, and Coach Kruger replaced Horry with a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.

Liu Mang and Kwame Brown are about to play the full first quarter.

On the Cavaliers' side, they replaced Snow, a veteran, with Damon Jones, who wilted after the Cavaliers cheated on a four-year, 16 million contract with the Heat last summer by using his super-accurate three-point shooting.

Larry Hughes and James continued to play, and the Cavaliers' sixth-man three-point sharpshooter joined Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant, who held a record of 12 three-pointers in a single game, and Gooden returned to his accustomed center position.

Liu Mang looked at the rotation lineup of the Cavaliers, in fact, the Cavaliers' reinforcements were still very targeted, but they were just ...... A lot of them are defective or substitutes.

If you want pitchers like Ray Allen and Lewis, it's Damon Jones and Don Yell Marshall who get it back...... It's a high imitation...... A goods.

Coming back from a timeout, the Eagles attacked, serving in the front court.

Josh Smith sent the ball to Liu Mang, and after Liu Mang received the ball, Josh Smith immediately ran up to block Liu Mang and helped Liu Mang block Larry Hughes.

Liu Mang continued to break through, Josh Smith cut in from the left after blocking and dismantling, James let go of Jason Terry and went up to Josh Smith to make up for the defense, Liu Mang quickly distributed the ball to Jason Terry, Jason Terry received the ball and dribbled a step forward to the crotch, after blocking Liu Mang's assist, when James had already come back from the defense, he shot two points against James' defense......

James thought he had done a good job of defending this time, first blocking Josh Smith's cut, and then making up for it, and then he was a little happy in his heart, and then, as soon as he turned his head, he saw the ball fall into the basket......

Jason Terry Yan-she James Hollow Hit!
