Chapter 1089 1088. The Poor Man's Janeway Combination
At 07:30 in the evening, the game started.
The Eagles sent Liu Mang, Prince, Korver, Horry, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.
The Cavaliers sent a starting lineup of Snow, Larry Hughes, James, Gooden, and Big Z.
Kwame Brown easily wins the jump ball over Big Z.
Liu Mang received the ball and pushed forward.
Just past the half-time line, I met Larry Hughes' half-court press!
The oppressive defensive counterattack tactics of Larry Hughes and James on the front line were the regular tactics of the Cavaliers in the first three games after Larry Hughes came back.
Liu Mang carefully protected the ball and advanced to the right side of the top arc. Larry Hughes' hand was too fast and almost hit the ball.
Moreover, Larry Hughes is not like Baron Davis and Iverson. The steal is not a rush, and he does not lose his position. He relies on seizing the opportunity when the defense is pressed.
Fortunately, Liu Mang was very afraid of this top defensive player who had just recovered from his injury and still had a defensive ability rating of 90. When he saw Larry Hughes pressing up, he protected the ball.
Unlike when Larry Hughes was in the Wizards last season, he had to worry about Liu Mang passing the ball, worried that his teammates would be thrown away by players without the ball, and wanted to make up defense. After coming to the Cavaliers, Larry Hughes can devote himself to single defense.
Liu Mang made a fake move and wanted to take a step back, but was stuck tightly, and couldn't get rid of Larry Hughes!
After taking a step back, Liu Mang wanted to use the strongest first step to accelerate, but Larry Hughes was very tight, there was no room for Liu Mang to trigger the strongest first step, and there was no chance for Liu Mang to break through directly because of the defense!
In the first attack, Liu Mang felt a sense of suffocation from Larry Hughes' single defense!
Larry Hughes, a player on the first team of the best defensive team, is really good in single defense!
According to the statistics of last season, Kobe, Wade, and Carter faced Larry Hughes, and their shooting percentages did not exceed 40.00%!
Liu Mang's offense was too sticky this time, and the attack time was only seven seconds. He could only choose to rush to the right side of the free throw line under the defense of Larry Hughes. He couldn't get rid of the defense.
"Bang..."
Iron!
Gooden grabs the defensive rebound!
Liu Mang glanced at Larry Hughes' sluggish face, and immediately retreated.
Liu Mang found that he still underestimated Larry Hughes. He had the impression that Larry Hughes' statistics plummeted after he arrived in the Cavaliers, but now he found that it was only the offensive end, but the defensive end can do better!
Because they won't be held back by Arenas, they can focus on defense, and because the core of the team is Arenas, the whole team won't be afraid when they encounter Liu Mang.
The Cavaliers wanted to counterattack, but fortunately, Liu Mang shot at mid-range on purpose, and the ball didn't bounce too far, giving the Eagles time to retreat.
James received a pass from Gooden and advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing James coming, Liu Mang ran towards Larry Hughes decisively, and Prince went to defend James.
Facing Prince's defense, James did not choose to attack. He rushed to the basket to face Prince and Kwame Brown. Even James felt uncomfortable.
James beckons for a pick-and-roll.
Liu Mang is ready to help defend at any time, but he doesn't know whether it is Gooden or Big Z who will pick and roll. 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, despite being skinny, had an excellent confrontation, and blocked Prince firmly. Liu Mang and Prince immediately switched defenses.
then……
Liu Mang single-handedly defends against James!
"Oh, this stinky and shameless high school student who looks so old, treats me like a persimmon!"
Liu Mang cursed inwardly, staying within the three-point line, ready to fight.
It wasn’t enough if we didn’t switch defenses just now. Larry Hughes and James are both players with strong cutting ability.
Just when Liu Mang lowered his weight and prepared to block the impact, James, who was still on the three-point line with one foot, suddenly put away the ball, took a step back, and made a three-point shot half a step away from the three-point line!
"I go!"
Liu Mang jumped up immediately, but lowered his center of gravity before, and was in an accelerated posture. When he took off, he was a beat slower, and the opponent might be more than ten centimeters taller than him!The point is that although James is tall, he may be able to jump better than Liu Mang!
Liu Mang stretched out his hand as much as possible to cover James' eyes, and James took a step back and shot a three-pointer...
The ball hit the inner edge of the basket, spun twice at high speed, made a "buzz" sound, and fell into the basket!
The scene immediately burst into loud cheers!
James singled out Liu Mang and still used a step-back three-pointer to score the ball!
Seeing James kicking his knees and pressing his hands down to celebrate, Liu Mang was so angry!
This guy stepped back and made a three-pointer!
so funny!
In fact, although he didn't have a mid-range shot, James was already good at three-pointers in the second grade. Last season, he averaged 30.00 three-pointers per game with a 1.4% field goal percentage. This season, he averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game, but he was not confident in shooting.
But to fight Liu Mang today, as long as there is a chance, even if you don't have much confidence, you have to vote decisively.
Horry started today, and the counterattack speed couldn't be improved. Of course, the tactical intention was not to have too many opportunities to counterattack with the first-generation oppressive defensive counterattack combination with James and Larry Hughes, so the Eagles sent a positional battle lineup.
After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced towards the frontcourt, and continued to encounter Larry Hughes' close defense. This time, Liu Mang's offensive choice was more clear, and he beckoned Horry to come out for a pick-and-roll.
Huo Li came to the right side of the top arc to help Liu Mang block Larry Hughes, and Liu Mang accelerated to break through!
"Ding... the pick-and-roll master is triggered at level 5, and the speed is +8 within two seconds..."
Liu Mang's speed increased to the limit of 102, and he rushed to the inside line like lightning. Gooden switched defenses and was passed by Liu Mang before he could stand still.
The Cavaliers had been on guard against this for a long time. After Larry Hughes was blocked, he rushed to the inside line immediately, and Gooden immediately caught up. With the big Z who stepped out of the reasonable collision zone, the Cavaliers three attacked Liu Mang!
After Liu Mang entered the free throw line, he could not see Kwame Brown due to the large Z coverage in the inside line, so he immediately distributed the ball to the top arc, Horry received the ball, and before James' defense was in place, he caught and shot a three-pointer...
Iron again!Horry has played three consecutive games without scoring a single three-pointer.
Liu Mang's ass hurts, the agreed-upon lineup space is very good, if they just empty Huo Li, this guy can't even make it!
Fortunately, it was Liu Mang who made an excellent judgment on where the rebound was going to land. Before Gooden, he jumped up high to receive the rebound, and then passed it to Korver on the right sideline. Korver caught the ball and made a three-pointer...
Finally got in!
3 to 3 level!
The Eagles retreated quickly, switched offense and defense, and James received the serve and advanced towards the frontcourt.
Still looking for Larry Hughes to pick and roll, James just wants to hit Liu Mang.
Liu Mang also resigned to his fate, switching defenses quickly, and couldn't give the opponent a chance to easily cut in.
Liu Mang immediately stuck to James after encountering a pick-and-roll, and couldn't give this courtesan whose petals withered prematurely a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
This is why James shot so decisively for the first time three-pointers!
If Liu Mang sticks to the defense, James will not be afraid, he will crush Liu Mang to break through!Moreover, leaving Liu Mang behind, James doesn't have to worry about being stuck by Liu Mang and being blocked by Kwame Brown.
James rushed to the right side of the basket, and Kwame Brown had already rushed towards this side. James scored the ball to the middle distance on the left baseline of the three-second zone, and Big Z also made a mid-range shot from the baseline after receiving the ball!
5 is better than 3!
The Cavaliers started with an advantage!
Although Larry Hughes came to the Cavaliers, his offensive talents were limited. From an offensive point of view, he may be able to play more freely as a substitute for James, but this does not mean that he is useless to the Cavaliers.
Although Larry Hughes lost the possession of the ball, his defense and air cut threats are the best outside teammates James has ever had, which made James play even better!
From the very beginning of the game, the Cavaliers fans who wanted to see how Liu Mang abused his little emperor realized that today was a bit different from the last match!
Fighting, Cavaliers fans found that their team lost a superstar when the opponent lost Tracy McGrady. James, Larry Hughes, and Big Z could compete with Liu Mang and Kwame Brown!
Although Liu Mang scored a 7+2 in the first 1 minutes of the first quarter, he also got 1 offensive rebounds and 5 assists. Kwame Brown also got 7 offensive rebound and scored 13 points in the opening game. The Eagles scored 1 points in the first 5 minutes, but the Cavaliers were not behind and still led by 3 point. James scored 14 points and 13 assists, helping the Cavaliers enter the official timeout [-]-[-]!
……
During the inter-section break, the head coaches of both teams are deploying defense.
James was eating popcorn that he found somewhere, and it was delicious. He is in a good mood today!
Liu Mang is also having a headache on how to defend against James and Larry Hughes' pick-and-rolls. This is the poor man's version of the Heat's Big Three!
Coach Kruger was also helpless. Horry made 3 three-pointers and Liu Mang didn't dare to pass the ball to him. He made two breakthroughs and made strong shots. Fortunately, Kwame Brown grabbed rebounds both times and made one. The other caused Gooden to foul and made one of two free throws. Only then did the Eagles stabilize their offense.
But Horry has to use it!Players from Los Angeles are all like this. They must be allowed to play iron, so that they can be used at the real critical moment. The Lakers and Spurs used to let Horry play iron in this way in the regular season.
Horry played for more than ten minutes in a game, and now it has been 7 minutes. Coach Kruger replaced Horry with a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown.
Liu Mang and Kwame Brown are going to play the full first quarter.
On the Cavaliers side, Snow, the veteran player, was replaced with Damon Jones, who withered after the Cavaliers cheated the Cavaliers into a four-year 4 million contract with the Heat's super accurate three-pointers last summer.
Larry Hughes and James continued to play, the Cavaliers sixth man three-point shooter, Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant together kept the record of 12 three-pointers in a single game Donyell Marshall played, and Gooden returned to his habitual center position.
Liu Mang looked at the Cavaliers' rotation. In fact, the Cavaliers' signings were very targeted, but...many of them were defective products or substitutes.
Wanted pitchers like Ray Allen and Lewis, got back Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall...it's a fake...A stuff.
After a timeout, the Eagles attack and serve in the frontcourt.
Josh Smith sent the ball to Liu Mang. After Liu Mang received the ball, Josh Smith immediately ran up to pick and roll with Liu Mang to help Liu Mang block Larry Hughes.
Liu Mang continued to break through, and Josh Smith cut in from the left after a pick-and-roll. James let go of Jason Terry and went up to Josh Smith. Liu Mang quickly passed the ball to Jason Terry.
James thought he did a good job defending this time. He first blocked Josh Smith's cut, and then made up the defense in place. He was still a little happy in his heart. Then, he just turned his head and saw the ball fall into the basket...
Jason Terry Yan-she James Hollow hit!
