"Because LeBron James successfully met the host in the playoffs, he challenged the host. The King of the New Generation of Players series of quests: The future is your trigger. ”

"The future is yours: In the playoffs against LeBron James, the host needs to lead the team to a 4-0 sweep of LeBron James to lead the team, and after the sweep, say that famous quote to LeBron James, planting a seed for LeBron James. Failure penalties: 1. If you fail to defeat LeBron James's team in this series, the new generation of players will end the series, and 2. If you fail to sweep LeBron James's team, the suppression of LeBron James will continue until the next playoff meeting. ”

When it was time for the game to start, Liu Mang received a suppression task about James.

From the task, Liu Mang learned about James's current mentality, as long as he can win a game, James's heart will be greatly comforted.

James is not a person who is so easy to be defeated, even if he loses, he will find a way to solve it, Liu Mang looked at the description in the task and planted a seed...... Is it to join, or is it looking for a brother?

……

By 5:28 p.m., Rashid Wallace's roar of heaven detonated the atmosphere, and the starters of both teams took to the field.

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

The Hawks, for their part, fielded the starting lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

The Cavaliers players are in great shape right now, both physically and mentally, and are fearless.

If you win, you will earn, and if you lose, you will not be scolded.

James represents the Cavaliers, James is a challenger, and the Cavaliers are naturally also challengers, so they don't have much psychological pressure on whether to advance, but the strength of the Hawks puts pressure on them, and there is a manic atmosphere on the scene.

But it's right, James is eager for one thing now, to defeat Liu Mang, and to sweep away the psychological pressure of never winning a game on Liu Mang.

And Liu Mang's side, there is only one goal, sweep!

Jump Ball!

Kwame Brown and Big Z came to the center circle, and the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game at half past five and threw the ball into the air, and Kwame Brown won the jump ball from Big Z, who was 10 centimeters taller than him, with exceptional bounce speed.

Liu Mang received the ball, and the Eagles attacked first.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, faced Larry Hughes's defense, passed the ball to Maddy, and started playing without the ball.

Compared with Liu Mang, who will be limited when he encounters Larry Hughes, Larry Hughes is one of the few defensive giants who can prevent Wade, Kobe, and Carter from shooting less than 40% in the regular season this season; Maddy, on the other hand, received the ball and faced James, which was much easier.

After Liu Mang passed the ball, he cut into the inside line, compressing the Cavaliers' defense, and Maddie received the ball and grabbed the ball with one hand and made a big loop.

James had long been prepared for the shameless behavior of several Hawks stars, and subconsciously raised his head to dodge.

Taking advantage of James's head up, Maddie slipped halfway through the big loop, slapped the ball behind James, and made movements at the same time, taking a step towards the right with his left leg, and stepping behind James with his long leg in the first step!

The first step, relying on the leg to take a long step, stepped behind James! The second step began to accelerate, and the third step directly threw James away!

James has worked very hard, but Maddie's pace is big, the timing is good, and the speed is getting faster and faster, Rao is James, and after Maddie finds an opportunity in the first step, he can't stop it.

Maddie rushed straight into the three-second zone, and Big Z reached up to interfere, while also not forgetting to stretch out his other arm to interfere with Kwame Brown's catch.

The Cavaliers' research and preparation for the Hawks is much more thorough than in the regular season, and the key is that Big Z worked hard to learn Yao Ming's way of defending Kwame Brown, and it really worked!

However, the Hawks also expected that Big Z would definitely learn the defensive style of Yao Ming, who was about the same height, and after Maddie entered the three-second zone, he did not pass the ball directly, nor did he shoot directly, but slowed down his speed and made a false move.

At this time, Kwame Brown, who had no chance to catch the ball under the interference of Big Z, seemed to leave the three-second zone because he was about to attack three seconds, and Maddie grabbed the ball and shook it twice, and jumped!

Big Z saw Kwame Brown leave the three-second zone, and did not doubt him, and when he saw Maddie jumping, he immediately raised his arms above his head and jumped hard, a very standard vertical jump, interfering with Maddie's shooting space.

However, at this time, Maddie threw the ball towards Big Z's waist and passed the ball around Big Z to the air behind Big Z!

Liu Mang blocked Larry Hughes with Kwame Brown, cut into the jump, and pushed the ball with both hands in the air, and the ball gently floated into the basket!

Liu Mang, Maddie, and Kwame Brown cooperated, simple and direct, with one sudden block and one pass, and scored two points.

As expected, the Cavaliers didn't defend against the Hawks' offense, and even had a feeling of being toyed with by the opponent's three All-Star starters, they had long been used to it, and Big Z immediately went to pick up the ball and send it to James.

Liu Mang and Maddie retreated immediately after the cooperation was completed, and James did not have a chance to counterattack with Larry Hughes, suppressed the rhythm, and waited for Big Z to settle in the frontcourt.

Maddie defended James as soon as he got to the frontcourt.

In the face of Maddie's defense, James crushed the breakthrough!

Maddie's strongest first three steps, James can't prevent it, and on the other hand, James's crushing breakthrough, Maddie can't prevent it.

James burst inside, Kwame Brown was pulled to the baseline by Big Z, and when he pounced back, James pulled the rod and licked the basket to score two points when Prince retracted to help defend.

Fast and accurate!

James' biggest improvement this year is to greatly improve the success rate of the basket when the layup step is limited to four steps.

The talent is there, and when he is pressed to improve, James improves the accuracy of his layups.

couldn't prevent it, Maddie and Prince glanced at each other, Prince nodded, and the other three players of the Eagles also understood what to do in the next round.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the front court, and after Liu Mang arrived at the front court this time, he found that it was James who defended him.

This is something that the Cavaliers have discussed many times, using James to defend against Maddy and Larry Hughes to defend against Liu Mang, but the result is that both ends can't be prevented, Larry Hughes can't prevent Liu Mang from not having the ball, and James can't prevent Maddy from breaking through.

But in other words, they think it's better, James can't defend Maddy's breakthrough with his size and faster and faster steps, but the impact resistant outside line has been doing a good job, can withstand it, and can keep up with the speed, which is also the reason why he was repeatedly blown up by the pitcher at the beginning, and fans still think that he can practice well defensively one day.

And Maddie and Larry Hughes are facing each other, the performance is not bad or good, the two entered the NBA a year apart, Maddy played him an average of 20 points per game, 45 percent shooting, of course, counting the two years that Maddy played as a substitute in the Raptors and met Larry Hughes.

Liu Mang reached the three-point line, James pressed up with his strong body, trying to use his defensive aggressiveness to press Liu Mang, which was learned from Liu Mang during the All-Star weekend, ready to open the poor version of Janeway's pressing defense mode with Larry Hughes.

As the saying goes, the apprentice was taught to starve to death of the master, Liu Mang saw James' eagerness to try after changing defenses, and guessed what James wanted to do.

James is still too young, when he pressed up with his thick Luo hoop legs, Liu Mang slapped the ball towards James's crotch, and the cat's waist swept past James, received the ball he shot out, and rushed towards the basket!

Larry Hughes painfully said goodbye, it was so miserable that he was pierced by the other party before he could get close to the other party.

Larry Hughes can limit Liu Mang's performance below the normal level, James defense, Liu Mang can obviously play above his average level, and the gap between the first defense player and the non-defense player is still obvious.

Liu Mang easily burst into the interior and made a pull-up jump shot from the free throw line......

Liu Mang threw a little floating, this season to play the Cavaliers so easy to break through, a little unaccustomed, mainly a little proud, the middle shot hit the basket.

Big Z jammed Kwame Brown, and Gooden took a step back before Rashid Wallace to grab the defensive rebound.

James saw that Liu Mang didn't throw in, and silently comforted himself, this guy didn't throw in because he defended himself.

It's that confident.

James received the ball from Gooden and quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, but was blocked by Prince, James was not in a hurry, and the opponent's center returned to the defense very quickly.

Still fell into a positional battle, James saw that it was Prince who was defending him, and the tiger body was shocked!

James is least afraid of the technical flow of defensive players like Prince and Battier, in the original time and space, in the 2007 Eastern Conference finals, James beat Prince to death, just like Prince defended Kobe Bryant, who was at the peak of this season, very well, but Kobe, who collapsed last season, was pressed and beaten, James is a muscle monster, the Hawks generally don't use Prince to defend him, they all use Maddy, Iguodala or Josh Smith.

But today the Hawks used Prince to block James' fast break.

Because he was blocked by Prince in the counterattack, James subconsciously thought that it was the Hawks who happened to be coming to replace Prince, this is an opportunity!

Prince is characterized by excellent anti-shooting and feints, and when James was looking for a shot outside the three-point line, he found that there was no chance at all, which he expected, so James waited until Big Z and Gooden opened up space, and then chose to make a strong break!

As soon as James stepped into the three-point line, he saw Prince retreating quickly, the kind that retreated directly to the back, but James had already started to speed, and Prince was as confident that he could rush into the three-second zone when he retreated.

Just then, James noticed that two people were rushing towards him!
