Some things are unavoidable, you can only accept them, and then find a way to deal with them.

For example, the change of the rules, the defensive end above the free throw line is not allowed to play, the head coach who can adapt will continue to survive, and those who do not adapt will be eliminated, this is the difference between Popovich and Larry Brown.

James's style of play can allow him to play a superstar performance, and if the league wants to praise him, it will naturally not blow him for walking, otherwise before his skills are polished at this stage, he will be the ultimate version of Steve Francis, which is inconsistent with the title of the representative of American basketball that the league wants to stand up to compete with Liu Mang.

The league will certainly not change the whistle against James, so it will have to find a way to deal with it.

James's special three steps have become part of his strength, which is really difficult to defend, and he can only choose to shrink and attack, and the Cavaliers will have a chance on the outside.

Tactics are also a kind of biological chain, the Heat are afraid of the high-speed rotation of the defensive Bulls, the Bulls are afraid of Francis's supersonic led by players who can break through and cannot be defended, but the supersonic is afraid of the Heat, a team with a big center that can stay under the basket and does not need to be pinch outside.

The Cavaliers are another version of the supersonic this season, the Cavaliers pitcher is a lot weaker than the superSonics, but James is much stronger than Francis even if he is only in the third grade, and the Cavaliers' center can also shoot, one more shooting point than the superSonics, the real star-studded, Kwame Brown has to follow the big Z, and the big Z eats by the mid-range shot.

Maddie took advantage of James' excitement to overhead a hat, which was actually an accident.

Immediately after the Cavaliers attacked, James continued to break through, because Kwame Brown was pulled to the middle distance of the baseline by Gooden, it was difficult to hold the inside, and the Hawks could only use three outside lines to block together, after James burst to the basket, he was sandwiched by Maddy, Liu Mang, and Prince, and the ball came out to Damon Jones who was on the top arc, and Liu Mang had already pounced on Damon Jones when Maddy came to block James's jump.

However, James's breakthrough point is really speechless, the timing is very good, his teammates don't need to know so much, they just need to catch the ball and throw the ball in.

Damon Jones has degraded seriously this year, and only three points are still at a first-class level, which just meets James' needs for his teammates, and he hit his first three-point shot after receiving the ball!

8-10, the difference is back to two points.

When it came to the Hawks' offense again, Liu Mang advanced to the front court, and saw Maddie from Los Angeles asking for the ball in the top arc, Liu Mang could only fish and pass the ball out.

Maddie's superstar status was provoked, or the referee provoked, how could this be endured, Liu Mang had confidence in Maddie, passed the ball to Maddie, and pulled himself to the left 45-degree angle ready to catch the ball and shoot.

Maddie received the ball and dribbled to the right to get closer to the three-point line, and James immediately went up to Maddy.

Maddie is very focused now and reacts quickly, the moment James sticks up, Maddie's long right leg stepped out, started quickly, took two steps in a row, and has crossed the free throw line!

Rao is James, and he can't keep up with Maddie's movements even if he sticks close!

Maddie's third step was still fast, and grabbed the ball, the third step took a step and jumped, Big Z pounced, Maddie threw the ball to Kwame Brown, Kwame Brown was so excited, how many opportunities to eat cakes this season, received the ball and jumped, and smashed the ball into the basket with both hands.

12-8, the Hawks continued their offensive firepower.

Judging from the style of play, the Cavaliers really restrained the Hawks, just like the SuperSonics restrained the Hawks, and it was difficult for the Hawks to prevent this kind of super breakthrough master's sudden score.

But the Eagles, on their part, are not cowardly at all.

If the style of play is restrained, it will be restrained, and the defense is not easy to defend, so try your best to defend it, starting from the offensive end!

Supersonic can't even beat the Hawks, let alone the Cavaliers?

When it came to the Cavaliers' offense, Liu Mang, Maddy, and Prince's defensive pinching was faster, and at the same time, Liu Mang's expansion after the pinching was also faster, after James broke through to attract the pinch and split the ball, Damon Jones slowed down, and thought about adjusting it like the last shot, so he was half a second slower, Liu Mang pounced in front of him, and Damon Jones failed to hit Liu Mang's three-point defense.

The Cavaliers' team built around James has the advantage of opening up the space, allowing James to break through to score or divide the ball, but the shortcomings are also obvious, rebounding!

Maddy and Prince sandwiched James, Kwame Brown rushed in to pick up the rebound and handed it to Maddie immediately, Maddy kept an eye on his teammates when he was in the position, Liu Mang took the lead in rushing across the halfcourt, Snow and Damon Jones chased after Liu Mang, Maddie immediately sent a long pass and a high lob ball, and the Cavaliers chased Liu Mang frantically, and even Drew Gooden, who was a big step behind, also chased Liu Mang desperately.

However, Maddie's pass was not given to Liu Mang, Liu Mang, the scoring champion of Lianzhuang, was regarded as the object of hatred, and Maddie passed the follow-up Rasheed Wallace!

Rasheed Wallace followed to the top arc, just in time to receive the ball, and chased a three-point shot......

The summer was not in vain, and Rasheed Wallace's three-pointer was also scored!

15-8, the Hawks lead by 7 points!

After determining that the defense was restrained by the opponent, Liu Mang arranged defensive counterattack tactics when Coach Kruger was looking for a referee theory.

The Cavaliers can shoot, but there is no way, if they can't throw, they will fight back!

Liu Mang knew that Coach Kruger was looking for the referee's theory, and he would not change the referee's tolerance for James's whistle, so the tactical arrangement was very decisive, just like the pre-game arrangement of the coaching staff, just try to speed up the rhythm!

The point is, the Eagles dare to wave! There is no need for Liang Jingru, two consecutive championships have given the Eagles players the courage of Lang.

More than 4 minutes, 7 points off, and the Cavaliers called a timeout! And it was James who called a timeout.

Back on the bench, James took the tactics board from Mike Brown, who just watched James lay out the tactics.

The TV screen did not broadcast this live, but Coach Kruger noticed it, and seeing what happened to the opposing coach, Coach Kruger was in a good mood! The referee's frustration with Maddie's technical foul was offset.

……

The timeout came back, and the Cavaliers had the ball.

The first timeout came too early, and there were no substitutions on the Hawks' side, and there were no substitutions on the Cavaliers' side.

After James received the ball in the frontcourt, he dribbled to the top arc, Prince defended inside the three-point line, and Liu Mang was ready to attack at any time.

James still chose to break through, and the breakthrough is his biggest strength, and there is nothing else for the time being.

James burst into the inside, under Prince's defense, into Kwame Brown's basket defense range, James did not have too good space to jump, so he didn't take three steps, rushed straight to the basket, attracted Kwame Brown and Prince, Liu Mang's pursuit of defense, passed the ball to the left side of the three-second zone Big Z, Big Z high and threw to score two points.

The Cavaliers' tactical play has changed!

The Cavaliers put Big Z closer to the basket on the offensive end, this strategy is very smart, Kwame Brown is under the basket, so that the Hawks will shrink fewer people, it seems that James's breakthrough has become difficult, and the space for him to jump under the basket has become smaller, but in this way, the space for Liu Mang and Prince to hit has also become smaller, James does not need to take three steps, and drills directly into Kwame Brown's arms, he has a high vision and good vision, just give it to Big Z.

10 to 15, or a 5-point difference.

James is really good, even if there is no extra step to find space, it is very inexplicable to break through this alone, and the extra step is also based on the breakthrough with or without solution, and the ball quotient is high, and he quickly made changes to the disadvantage of too few options on the offensive end.

But well...... The Eagles' side is attacking even harder!

After Maddie received Liu Mang's ball in the front court, he continued to break through, and the Cavaliers quickly contracted and wrapped Maddie in a dumpling!

At this time, Maddy was blocked by James's waving arm and Gooden's right pass in the field of vision, and Big Z pushed Kwame Brown under the basket and threw the ball to the left weak side.

It's such a tacit understanding, Liu Mang ran without the ball, cut in from the left side of the three-second zone to receive the ball, at this time Kwame Brown, who was squeezed by Big Z, immediately became the one squeezed by Kwame Brown, Liu Mang rushed into the basket, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand through Kwame Brown under the pursuit of Eric Snow.

Kwame Brown was speechless, can't he make a good layup? Usually don't deduct, do you have to buckle? Teammates don't let go?

In exactly 5 minutes, the Eagles scored 17 points!

17 to 10, still a 7-point difference!

The Cavaliers played well offensively, but the Hawks were even better!

Obviously, the Cavaliers are very uncomfortable with the fast pace of the Hawks, just like the 76ers, at the beginning of the season, they have not yet figured out how to solve the problem that the Hawks are too accurate on the outside, and the two major outside break-through ability is strong and the basket finishing ability is strong.

Maybe as the season progresses, other teams will find many ways to limit the Hawks' style of play, but right now, the Cavaliers can't handle it!

Especially Maddy's crazy core offensive player's style of play, and the defense does not need Maddie to defend alone, the Cavaliers' starting lineup only has a single strong point, and everyone else's playing style is limited to eating cakes, even if it is a big Z with single ability, they can only eat cakes, and the All-Stars of the best lineup like Lefu and Bosh will gradually become a cake eater, not to mention the big Z who has barely made it to the All-Star once, Maddie's defensive pressure is less, and he can focus on breaking through the ball.

In addition to counterattacking, the Hawks are now playing Maddy's outside three-pointers and breakaway shots, which look the same style of play as James.

With the same style of play, the two break through the threat, which is half a pound and eight taels, but Maddie can now say what he dreamed of for a long time during his time with the Magic: I have teammates who are better than everyone else!

Maddie and James continued to fight each other, and when the official timeout reached the first quarter, the Cavaliers scored 16 points in seven minutes, a high score, but the Hawks scored 24 points!

James performed very well, relying on the breakthrough point to get 6 points and 3 assists, but Maddie got 8 points and 4 assists!

Except for Prince's average performance, mainly the poor offensive performance, which made the overall performance very average, 0 of 2 three-pointers, everyone else scored!

Maddy led the Hawks to 24 points in seven minutes, and was not replaced during the official timeout, and Coach Kruger was not happy, so he asked Maddy to continue to do them, replacing Liu Mang with a lineup of Jason Terry, Maddy, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Rasheed Wallace, and continuing to let Maddie lead the offense.

On the Cavaliers' side, they also began to rotate, with a lineup of James, Ronald Murray, Don Yell Marshall, Gooden, and Vallejo.

……

Liu Mang sat on the sidelines, but he didn't expect that he would have a day when he would be so relaxed that he would watch his teammates lead the team to abuse his opponent on the sidelines.

Maddie and Jason Terry went up to take turns picking, it was too ferocious, both of them were at the beginning of the season, and they were both in their best physical fitness, especially Maddie, who practiced for so long in the summer, there was no wasted time, training camp and preseason were finished, and they were in a very good state, and the two went up to the wheel battle to deal with James.

James' stats can play beautifully, but judging from the court, there is no doubt that the Hawks have the absolute upper hand.

It's all a rotation lineup, but the Cavaliers are not bad because of Larry Hughes's absence, and the bench lineup is not bad, but this time even the big Z is gone, the big Z physical problem is more serious than Yao Ming, and the pitchers in this lineup are not as strong as the starters, Vallejo was abused under the basket by Rasheed Wallace, who used to teach him to play, the Cavaliers' main problem is rebounding, although the Hawks rebounding is not the top, it is also the top few in the league, and the rebounding strength of the Cavaliers is definitely the bottom of the league, The best rebounders are Vallejo and James.

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks scored 38 points!

The Cavaliers played well and scored 26 points, but the Hawks scored too many points and led by 12 points in the quarter!

……

It's too exaggerated to score,. Neither T commentators Kenny Smith nor Charles Barkley knew how to describe the game, and the Eagles game was completely pinched and beaten by the opponent.

Kenny Smith and Barkley have the know-how, and Kenny Smith reasoned: "The Hawks understand the rules and use them all before other teams, and Liu said after the last game against the 76ers that they just threw all the shots they should have made, and the Cavaliers have a lot of shots that they can't make, and maybe the future shooting will become the league's dominance." ”

Kenny Smith, as a pitcher, is looking forward to that day.

But Charles Barrick doesn't like this statement: "Hand-to-hand combat under the basket is the real basketball, you see Ace and Maddie, the main attack is still under the basket, Maddie just uses the three-point as a tool to attract the opponent's defense." ”

"Maybe you're right, it's like I shot three points and got two rings, and you hit the basket empty-handed." Kenny Smith didn't know when he took out his championship ring and put it on.

"Kenny, I'm going to duel you!"

"Do you mean my donkey? It seems to be in love with you, and I can't eat anymore......"

……

Maddie was the protagonist today, the one who played the best, leading the Eagles to continue to expand the score.

In this contest with James, Maddie has the upper hand, and it is clear that the main reason is that the Hawks pitchers are better than the Cavaliers pitchers, and the Cavaliers' best pitchers are Don Yell Marshall and Damon Jones, but the two of them average three-point shots per game, which together are equal to Liu Mang......

In the third minute of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang hit the fourth three-point shot in the game, and the score finally broke 20, scoring 22 points, in addition to 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Scoring depends on eating cakes, assists by catching the ball and then passing or cutting the ball, he doesn't have to do much at all, when Maddie doesn't need to spend much effort on the defensive end, the offensive performance is really good, when Liu Mang goes to play a supporting role, the whole team revolves around Maddie, and Maddie has a good time.

played 34 minutes and got 30 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists! beat James's 27 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists!

James is the kind of player who is playing and the data is always not bad, but the Cavaliers are not, in the fourth quarter to the third minute, with Liu Mang's three-point shooting, the Hawks scored 107 points! The Cavaliers only scored 85 points, not because the Cavaliers were poor offensively, but because they couldn't defend at all.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, the margin was finally stretched to more than 20 points!

James has worked hard and worked hard, but watching Eric Snow hit an iron in the open position again, Liu Mang got the defensive rebound.

Liu Mang saw that the Cavaliers bench had already begun to move, this ball was not given to Maddie, and the last attack was on his own!

This guy is all 30+10!

Liu Mang wants to get his score to 25 points! If you don't get three points on this offense, you won't stop!

Liu Mang advanced to the front court, and saw Snow pounce like a mad dog, Liu Mang dodged sideways, or rushed into the inside line, two points are also okay, 24, what a good number!

Liu Mang rushed into the free throw line, grabbed the ball, prepared to make a creepy layup, and showed his face at the last moment, at this time Snow turned around to catch up, James was also abused, and hit Liu Mang in the middle, Liu Mang took a step, was followed by Snow, and took another step, James came, and there was no chance to take the third step!

Between the lightning and the fire, Liu Mang took the fourth step decisively!

The referee's whistle was in his mouth, but he still put it down.

It's not just that the opponent is not used to three steps to the basket and one more jump, the Cavaliers themselves can't get used to it, Liu Mang took the fourth step and landed with both feet, turned over and threw the ......

"Uh......" Liu Mang felt his face crackle.

Okay, whoever can take an extra step can throw in?

Liu Mang's throwing threw a bridge, three don't stick! The ball falls to the floor, and a group of people under the basket scramble to touch the ball out of bounds.

Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown called a timeout.

Maddie came up and patted Liu Mang, holding back a smile, the players on the Hawks bench have begun to take off their training uniforms, and the same is true for the Cavaliers.

Liu Mang followed Maddie to the bench depressedly, watching Jason Terry excitedly take the substitute up to prepare to brush the data, so depressed!

I don't fit in at all!

No wonder Liu Mang remembers that after the league changed the jump rules, only James played like that, because he was used to that style of play alone, while others were used to the normal three-step layup, and two more steps broke down their rhythm.

One more step to the basket, you also need to have that ability!

Liu Mang understood the meaning of "you can do it, you can go up" this time, three more steps and one more jump to make a layup, not everyone can do it.

If the league really determines the change of the rules and determines this extra step as "legal", then the performance that James is playing now is his real strength, everything in the NBA will not change, and others cannot learn this trick so easily, rather than doing this, it is better to practice the normal way of playing simply, the main thing is that it is difficult to change to get used to this thing, James is still so strong with this move, and others will not be affected, or how to play or how to play, find a way to deal with such James, Still have to find a way.

……

As Liu Mang thought,. David Stern, who was live on T live, saw Liu Mang learn from James's layup and actually threw a three-way shot, and his old eyes immediately lit up.

As the president of the NBA, of course, the professional knowledge about basketball is very rich, and it is not for nothing that he has been the president of the NBA for more than 20 years.

Since the 03-04 season, there have been many fans attacking the league to praise James, but at that time, James's Cavaliers were weak and could not affect the strong teams.

This year, on the basis of James and Big Z, the Cavaliers added Larry Hughes and poached several high-quality role players, and there is no problem in entering the playoffs, but it is much worse to become the face of the league like Liu Mang.

Jordan, Olajuwon, Malone, O'Neal...... Even Iverson, when he was in charge of the façade, the team's record was one of the best in the league.

David Stern is right to praise Liu Mang, but Liu Mang is a foreigner, and David Stern needs to take care of American fans, so he has to come up with a new façade.

James must be allowed to play well, even if it is pointed out by thousands of people.

From David Stern's eyes, he can see that James has a lot of potential to become an era superstar like Magic, King, God, and Shark.

So change the rules and get into David Stern's schedule, the kind that needs to be done urgently.

Since so many teams are complaining, so many players are complaining, it is not enough to rationalize it.

……

22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, very comprehensive data, but Liu Mang is not the protagonist, his most "perfect" shot in this game is probably the four-step layup and three non-sticky.

Maddy played 34 minutes and reached 30 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists to become the MVP of the game, helping the Hawks lead by 18 points in the third quarter and leaving the game with a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Hawks relied on Maddy's 30 points and 11 assists, Liu Mang played 28 minutes and scored 22 points, 6 boards and 4 assists on 4-of-7 shooting, Kwame Brown's 18 points and 17 boards, and Rasheed Wallace's three three-pointers, the Hawks beat the Cavaliers 128-104, with a 24-point difference!
