Chapter 1091 1090. The Scene Is Too Cruel, I Can't Bear to Watch It
Jason Terry's roar attracted everyone's attention.
Liu Mang signaled to the people around him that it was okay, and there was just a little disagreement in the communication between teammates.
"Jason, I believe you can do it!" Liu Mang patted Jason Terry on the shoulder and said it seriously.
Jason Terry wanted to punch Liu Mang in the face, but it seemed that he couldn't beat him. This guy started boxing recently. Although he didn't know why he practiced boxing for defense, Jason Terry thought that this guy was probably worried that he would make the opponent cry, like the Lakers. If he abused the opponent too badly, the opponent might be angry, so he prepared for a fight.
"Ace, are you serious?" Jason Terry couldn't figure out what this meant.
Although Jason Terry's defense was poor, his defensive attitude was not bad, and he would not show off on the defensive end, always defending those opponents who had no independent offensive ability.
"Believe me! Jason! You can definitely defend!" Liu Mang turned on the head of state mode...
The head of state mode failed, Jason Terry rolled his eyes at Liu Mang, and this time he, the best supporting actor, didn't believe it.
The 20-second timeout passed quickly. Originally, the coaching staff just wanted to arrange a double-teaming tactic to calm Iguodala down, but Liu Mang had already arranged it. They just had to see how it would play.
…
After the timeout, Jason Terry felt like he was being fooled, but it was already like this, what else could he do? He didn't even assist the kid when he received the ball later!
James went to the free throw line.
James made the first free throw and went to high-five his teammates.
At this moment, Liu Mang's system prompt came!
"Ding... Feature: The essence of two free throws is triggered. There must be one miss in this two free throws, from LeBron James."
"Essence of two free throws: The stronger LeBron James is, the stronger his body is, and the worse his free throw stability is. He is likely to make only one of the two free throws. When LeBron James and the host fight for free throws, the host can get an advance prediction."
This... is said to be James's characteristic, but Liu Mang thinks it is beneficial to him!
James had a 76% free throw shooting rate in his rookie year, 73% in his sophomore year, and this season it has dropped to 68%!
Seeing James high-five his teammates and preparing to take the second free throw, Liu Mang immediately went up and switched positions with Iguodala, letting Iguodala go outside the three-point line and standing on the right side of the three-second zone.
Iguodala did not refuse, Liu Mang's rebounding was better than his.
James might have felt good about free throws, but seeing Liu Mang go up to grab the rebound when he could grab the rebound, and deliberately replace the teammate who was already preparing to grab the rebound, James was a little unhappy.
However, no matter how unhappy he was, James suddenly remembered that his free throw shooting rate was less than 70% this season, and he couldn't help but glance at McGrady on the sidelines, as well as Josh Smith and Kwame Brown under the basket, and found a little comfort. High school students are not very good at free throws...
James, who was a little psychologically shaken, took the second free throw...
"Bang..."
It's really iron!
The first free throw was empty and the second one hit the basket and bounced high. This was too far away!
The four inside players under the basket were all blocking, waiting for the rebound to fall.
Liu Mang did not go to the middle. When James threw the ball out, Liu Mang went around from the back, entered the basket from the baseline, jumped quickly, and took the ball down.
James was about to vomit blood! It turned out that this guy was sure that he couldn't make the shot!
Liu Mang bypassed Donyell Marshall and Josh Smith, and James saw it clearly!
19 to 20, the Cavaliers were still one point behind.
Liu Mang grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly counterattacked!
He threw the ball to Jason Terry at the midline at the first time. Fortunately, Damon Jones and Larry Hughes of the Cavaliers retreated to their own three-point line after shaking hands with James. Damon Jones blocked Jason Terry's catch-and-go three-pointer, and Larry Hughes also blocked Iguodala who wanted to cut in.
The Cavaliers' defense is really good. Although Mike Brown has no ability, as James' defensive assistant coach, James has reduced his worries a lot.
Liu Mang sprinted quickly after passing the ball. James waited for Liu Mang at the three-point line. After Liu Mang reached the three-point line, James ran from the free throw line to the midline and then into the three-point line, but was not thrown off by Liu Mang.
Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line and received the pass from Jason Terry under James' pursuit. James followed Liu Mang closely and covered Liu Mang. He defended well and did not give Liu Mang any space to shoot. He also asked Liu Mang to throw the ball out, so James had the confidence to block it!
However, Liu Mang still threw the ball into the air, but not towards the basket, not towards the shooting direction that James had predicted Liu Mang could choose, but threw it to the back and top!
James' attention was always on Liu Mang. When he saw Liu Mang throw the ball out, he opened his arms and ran towards the baseline, as if he was gliding with his wings spread out.
James immediately realized that something was wrong and wanted to dodge, but it was too late!
James looked back and saw that Josh Smith had blocked the light at his location. He was already shrouded in Josh Smith's shadow!
With the whining of the basket, Josh Smith pressed his entire upper body on James and smashed the ball into the basket through James!
James was a little dazed... So the high school No. 1 draft pick will eventually have this day? He had laughed at Howard before, and now... he was also screwed!
It was done by the Hawks players! And a large part of it was instigated by Liu Mang!
Not only that, when James turned back to defend after Josh Smith landed, he also saw Kwame Brown jumping up and landing.
James felt bitter: So these two high school students want to screw me?
Seeing the two high school students jump up and bump their chests to celebrate again, James was crying in his heart: We are both high school students, why are we so anxious to fight each other!
The scene has become quiet. This ball... is indeed domineering, but the one who was dunked is their team's hope. The fans at the scene are not booing or cheering, just quiet down.
James kept comforting himself: I am the core, and the one with a similar body shape to me is just a small substitute, don't bother with him...
After comforting himself, James felt that he should think about something happy, such as the low post.
James felt that he had found a new direction for development!
He had been looking for other techniques besides breakthroughs for a long time, but none of them were suitable. He didn't expect that he was so good at the low post!
James felt that he had found a style of play that suited him!
"Maybe I, LeBron, am a natural low-post expert, but I just didn't notice it before, yes, that's right." James found something happy and deliberately ignored being dunked by Josh Smith.
James didn't catch the ball and push forward. He now found a new style of play. He didn't have to compete with Iguodala for speed and flexibility. He just relied on his body to force the ball. James ran straight to the left side of the basket to ask for the ball.
At this time, James and Larry Hughes, who pushed forward, looked at the person behind James at the same time.
Jason Terry, who is 1.88 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms.
What does this mean?
James was so angry!
What does this mean?
Not only the two of them, even Jason Terry himself, who was standing in that position, didn't know what this meant, but let it be. He was ready to find a few people to "rebel" after the game. Can the team boss arrange such a thing that is not something a human can think of for him to be tortured?
Although they were all puzzled, James still leaned against Jason Terry, and Larry Hughes passed the ball to James.
This is a perfect chance to force a shot!
James received the ball and pushed back hard...
When James started to exert his strength, the fans at the scene had already started cheering. Although he was bullying a small guard who was 1.88 meters tall and 20 centimeters taller than him, James was dunked over just now. Now the fans wanted to see James dunk directly like O'Neal.
Some fans even covered their eyes, not wanting to see this cruel scene.
Then... the cheers at the scene slowly disappeared...
Then looking at the cruel scene in front of him...
It was really cruel...
A tank-type small forward who was nearly 2.06 meters tall and weighed 110 kilograms, although not at the peak weight, bumped for a long time, but didn't get even one step closer to the basket!
Jason Terry really tried his best to block it. The blue veins on Jason Terry's forehead and neck could be seen with the naked eye.
However, even if Jason Terry tried so hard, he shouldn't be able to block James!
This scene is too cruel!
James couldn't squeeze Jason Terry in the low post!
James couldn't squeeze in, but since it was at this point, he couldn't dribble out and then break through. Although this was a good choice, he didn't want to save face! Playing a 1.88-meter-tall guard in the low post.
It was about to be five seconds before the back-up, and James turned and shot a jump shot...
"Bang..."
From the three-second zone to the free throw line, James' career hit rate was 28.6% so far...
Jason Terry turned around and received the ball that hit the rim and bounced in front of him. He was stunned. He actually defended it!
Watching James retreat quickly, Jason Terry couldn't believe it himself!
Jason Terry originally thought that after he was pressed down and dunked, he would definitely grab the ball and play alone next time, but now, he immediately passed it to Liu Mang who was running fast.
When Jason Terry passed the ball, he shouted in his heart: "Ace, I love you so much! Your arrangement is so perfect!"
Liu Mang received the ball in the frontcourt and rushed back. No one could stop the crazy cavalry company of Liu Mang, Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown! Even if the anti-aircraft gun has not caught up yet!
Liu Mang passed the ball to Josh Smith, who attracted the defense and passed it to Iguodala. After Iguodala was blocked by Larry Hughes, he passed it to Liu Mang who slipped to the bottom line and cut in. James and Larry Hughes both blocked Liu Mang. At this time, Liu Mang passed it to Kwame Brown who followed up at the free throw line. Kwame Brown scored two points with a double-handed dunk.
Let's play!
The Hawks are already having fun!
Jason Terry actually defended James just now, which made the Hawks bench and the players on the court excited!
24 to 19, 5 points difference!
It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack again. James saw the Hawks' excited look and he felt like he was going to explode on the spot!
James continued to run to the low post and saw Jason Terry excitedly switching defense with Iguodala when he went to the low post. James decisively leaned on Jason Terry to get a position. He didn't believe that he would not be able to hit this short guy!
Accident!
It was definitely an accident!
Larry Hughes couldn't believe it either. The other three opened up space, and Larry Hughes continued to pass the ball to James.
James received the ball, but couldn't squeeze it. In order to avoid having to force a shot when the five seconds were about to expire, James had thought about it before receiving the ball. If he couldn't squeeze it, he would turn around and directly run over Jason Terry.
Just when James turned around and wanted to layup, the ball he had just grabbed was taken away!
Jason Terry took the ball directly from James' hand, the kind that took it away from the front!
At this time, Liu Mang was almost down!
Jason Terry passed the ball to Liu Mang again. Liu Mang sprinted quickly. Larry Hughes followed behind Liu Mang and couldn't catch up!
When Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line, he looked behind him and Larry Hughes had stopped.
Liu Mang stepped heavily inside the free throw line, jumped high, and changed the ball from under his left leg to his left hand with his right hand. When he fell, he dunked the ball into the basket with his left hand!
It was an accident just now, but now people understand that it is not an accident! Jason Terry is actually a hidden low-post "defensive expert"!
Just as Liu Mang thought, Iguodala defended James and wanted to block him. After all, the height difference was not much. He wanted to interfere with James's shot, but was squeezed away by James' strong body.
Jason Terry never thought about blocking anyone at all, just wanted to hold on tightly.
It is true that James is strong and can use his body to break through, but when using his body and strength in the back, James is extremely uncomfortable! Even James, who will win three championships in the future, can only turn over and jump shot in the back, which may be due to physical muscle training, or it may be that he really does not have a good talent for low-post awareness. Anyway, no matter what the reason is, based on Liu Mang's understanding of James, when James was at his peak, he was not the kind of player who could score by backing up, and he was not good at turning around, but mostly turned over and jumped.
So, Iguodala, who tried to jump up to block James, was blocked by James' strong body. Jason Terry, who only wanted to block James, didn't even think about blocking James. James's back-to-the-basket technique was not good enough, and he couldn't hit or squeeze him, but was blocked!
In the second defense, James wanted to turn around, but he was nearly 2.06 meters tall. When Jason Terry saw James turning around, the ball was in front of his face, and Jason Terry directly snatched the ball away.
The commentator of ESPN, who broadcast this game live, shouted that Jason Terry's defense was great.
The fans at the scene were going to collapse!
Where is the little emperor who was so invincible against Iguodala just now?
How come he has become a weak chicken now!
26 to 19, the score difference has reached 7 points!
It was the Cavaliers' turn to attack again. James continued to go to the low post without believing in evil. Although James has always been calm, he really couldn't stand this humiliation!
Liu Mang and McGrady abused him. James was not strong enough, which was nothing.
But this was a 1.88-meter opponent in the low post!
James received the ball and tried to force it, but he still couldn't squeeze Jason Terry. James couldn't help it, turned around and swung his arm on Jason Terry's chest, separating Jason Terry and making a layup...
The ball went in, but the referee blew the whistle and made a boxing move!
James hit someone with the ball!
