1156. Strange thoughts of Cavaliers fans(1/2)
Damn it...the Eagles are serious!
So stable!
The start was so bad this time, but Horry and the five small lineups were able to withstand the lowest ebb of the Hawks in the beginning.
In the second quarter, Liu Mang and Jason Terry scored 20 points and 6 assists in a single quarter, successfully leading the score before halftime and widening the point difference to 5 points!
After halftime, the Eagles were 61 to 56, leading by 5 points entering the intermission!
Liu Mang scored 11 points and 8 assists in the half, and Jason Terry scored 13 points in a single quarter, and also brought up the touch of his teammates.
Liu Mang took advantage of all the advantages available and continued to maintain the style of the food abuse team.
The Cavaliers, who are fifth in the Eastern Conference... are still very good!
James, who played the entire first half, scored 21 points and 4 assists, and Larry Hughes also scored 10 points and 3 assists. The combined performance of the two was actually better than Liu Mang and Jason Terry's combined 24 points and 10 assists in the half.
The assist performance is even better.
But I can’t stand the fact that the Hawks have Horry!
Liu Mang finally had a delicious meal cooked by Huo Li...
…
Back in the second half, Liu Mang, who played the entire first half, continued to play. Jason Terry played the entire second quarter and needed a break. Liu Mang, Calderon, Iguodala, David Lee, and Mourning went up to play.
Rotation time.
The poor version of Janeway, who played the entire first half, took a three-minute break at the beginning of the third quarter. The Cavaliers sent out a lineup of Snow, Stephen Graham, Newbell, Gooden, and Varejao.
Rely on defense to hold on.
But in these three minutes, Liu Mang made three consecutive three-pointers!
Liu Mang, who was gradually getting hotter in the first half, went berserk at the beginning of the third quarter!
After missing two shots at the beginning, he made three consecutive three-pointers! He scored 9 points in a row.
The Cavaliers only made one goal in the past three minutes and scored 3 points. They were beaten 9-3 by Liu Mang. Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown quickly called a timeout.
59 to 70!
Without Larry Hughes or even James, Snow defended very well, but now Liu Mang can shoot directly using the pick-and-roll, and Liu Mang plays very wastefully!
Larry Hughes and James came back from halftime before they even sat on the bench to warm up, and they had to play again immediately.
James and Larry Hughes played very well today and came back in the third quarter to score 5 points in a row to help the Cavaliers stabilize the situation.
But Liu Mang has voted now!
After the Eagles made a big hit and were beaten 5-0 by the Cavaliers, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and encountered Larry Hughes' defense. He took a slight step and Larry Hughes immediately jumped up.
Just now, when he saw Liu Mang on the sidelines scoring three consecutive three-pointers against the pick-and-roll defender, Larry Hughes wanted to scold his teammates.
In the first half, Liu Mang made 0 of 5 three-pointers and could only score from mid-range and short range. Larry Hughes defended very hard to achieve this. As a result, when he came back in the second half, good guy, he directly fed Liu Mang's touch.
Got it!
Liu Mang used his three-point threat to fly past Larry Hughes and then broke through to the inside!
When Liu Mang made an emergency stop in the mid-range, James rushed to block the shot. Liu Mang leaned back and threw the ball. James' hand hit Liu Mang's arm. The referee's whistle sounded, and Liu Mang made his fourth consecutive shot!
There is an extra penalty for hitting a mid-range pull-up jump shot!
Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made the extra free throw. He had just been chased by the Cavaliers to 64-70 and was only 6 points away. But when he saw that he could get back to within five points by scoring one after another, the point difference was widened to 9 points!
73 to 64, the Eagles firmly hold the lead!
Beating and beating, James felt that fate was so unfair to him!
It was not easy for him to encounter such an opportunity. He and Larry Hughes finally broke out together when they met the Eagles, and both performed very well. It happened that the Eagles had a bad start, but suddenly they
A Hori appears!
Being restricted by the five dead players, James had nothing to say. Some of the strange lineup changes of the Hawks often produced good results. Many teams are imitating the tactics of the Hawks and trying to learn from them.
But Horry's explosion, those 12 points, caught the Cavaliers off guard!
No one could have imagined that it was Horry who allowed the Hawks to survive that slow start!
If the Cavaliers lead by a relatively large margin from the beginning, even by six or seven points, they will become more motivated as they play. This is how young teams build up their morale like a snowball. The more they play, the better. The Cavaliers may have
Opportunity to be upset.
But now, it's snowballed into the Eagles!
On the Cavaliers' side, James and Larry Hughes used their strength to get closer to the score, but Liu Mang soon scored consecutively and pulled the score further.
This feeling is too torture!
After three quarters, the Eagles were 84 to 77. James and Larry Hughes worked hard, but the Eagles still led by 7 points.
Finally, in the first half of the fourth quarter, Zhan Sibeng, who often appeared against Liu Mang, came!
Liu Mang, together with Jason Terry, who had not been replaced since coming on in the second half of the third quarter, came up to lead the Eagles in a wave of attacks.
As Liu Mang broke through from the middle and hit Varejao's cover, the Eagles went on a 14-4 run in five minutes, suddenly widening the point difference to 17 points and sealing the victory!
The abuse of vegetables is stable again!
…
With a score difference of 17 points, Liu Mang, who had played for 41 consecutive minutes, was replaced and replaced with a lineup of Jason Terry, Iguodala, Prince, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown to challenge the defense.
, to keep the victory.
Coach Kruger was very cautious today. Leading by 17 points with 7 minutes left, he still substituted three players. He also substituted the three most important substitutes for fear of being reversed by the Cavaliers.
In order to break the 72-win mark, I will do whatever it takes...
Although James helped the Cavaliers narrow the point difference to 8 points in the end, he only narrowed the point difference to 8 points and failed to lead the team to complete the reversal.
In the end, James scored 37 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and Larry Hughes scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. The two had their best performance against the Hawks since joining together, but they still lost!
Liu Mang easily scored 31 points, 13 assists and 4 rebounds. It looked very easy indeed. He had 5 assists in the first quarter and easily scored 20 points in the second half. Horry broke out and Jason Terry came on the bench.
When he came out to guide the offense, even if McGrady was not there, Liu Mang played very easily.
110 to 102, the Eagles won their sixth consecutive victory!
The record improved to 68 wins and 7 losses!
There are still 5 wins left to break the historical record!
After the game, the center of attention was not James who scored 37-7-7, nor Liu Mang, who scored another 30-10, nor Jason Terry, who scored 28 points, but Horry!
Horry was the turning point in that game. Otherwise, the Cavaliers led by James would have had the advantage, and the outcome of the game would have been hard to say.
When Liu Mang was interviewed, he was asked about Horry's explosion. Liu Mang replied: "Robert's performance is not an explosion. This is his inherent strength. It's just that he is a bit older and warms up a bit slowly.
Now he is starting to find the feeling, which is a great thing for us. With such a teammate who has won five championships, I have more confidence in our next playoffs."
…
…
James lost to Liu Mang again. On the second day, people were not only paying attention to Horry, who was much better in the playoffs than in the regular season, but also felt sorry for James.
It's too awful!
Three years on, the Cavaliers have lost 12 straight games against the Hawks!
However, the Cavaliers are the focus of the league's promotion. Before James entered the NBA, the Cavaliers sometimes only played the Hawks three times a season. However, because of James, the Cavaliers had to play the Hawks four times every regular season.
.
Thinking of the legendary Arenas who went around looking for gods to heal mental illnesses, people were really worried that James would be beaten out of a mental disorder by Liu Mang.
Including Cavaliers fans, everyone feels worried that James is only in his third year and has to face the crazy suppression of a historically powerful enemy. The Cavaliers are basically determined to be fifth in the Eastern Conference and lose to the Hawks 45-30.
Lose, there are still seven games left, the fourth-place 76ers and the sixth-place Nets both have 40 wins and 34 losses. It is impossible to catch up with the Cavaliers.
Although the Cavaliers are only fifth in the Eastern Conference, their playoff rankings are based on their rankings. A good record still has home court advantage. Even though the Cavaliers are fifth in the Eastern Conference, whether they play the 76ers or the Nets, they have home court advantage, which means they have a better chance of winning.
If you are older, you have a chance to advance to the second round.
The opponent in the second round is 100% the Eagles...
For the first time in NBA history, some fans don’t really want their team to advance to the second round...
Moreover, there are many people who have such thoughts...
…
Liu Mang looked at the comments of Cavaliers fans in North American basketball forums and felt that James should not be so fragile.
It's definitely not that fragile.
After all, he is the future king of the league. If James is hit like this, he will definitely find a way.
Liu Mang's mind is now on the next game.
Seven games to go!
To be continued...
