: 2012. The Devil's Step

Some things are unavoidable and can only be accepted, and then find a way to deal with them.
For example, the rule changes, the defensive end of the free throw line is not allowed to start, the adaptable head coach will continue to survive, the unfit will be eliminated, this is the difference between Vicky and Larry Brown.
Such a play like James can make him play a superstar performance. The league wants to support him, and naturally will not blow him. Otherwise, before he has polished his technology at this stage, he is an ultimate version of Steve Francis. The title of the representative of American basketball who is to compete with Liu Mang in the league is not consistent.
The league will certainly not change the whistle against James, so you have to find a way to deal with it.
James' special three big steps have become part of his strength. It is really difficult to prevent. He can only choose to shrink and pinch, and the Cavaliers have a chance.
Tactics is also a kind of biological chain. The Heat are afraid of the high-speed rotation of the defending Bulls. The Bulls are afraid of the supersonic speed led by a player like Francis who can't defend. But the Supersonics are afraid that the Heat can have a center at the basket. Teams that don't need outside pinch.
The Cavaliers are another version of the Supersonics this season. The Cavaliers 'pitcher is a lot weaker than the Supersonics, but James is much better than Francis even in the third grade, and the Cavaliers' center can also vote, much more than the Supersonics. A shooting point, really one star, Kwame Brown has to follow the big Z, the big Z depends on the mid-range to eat.
Tracy McGrady took advantage of James's hat, but it was actually an accident.
Immediately after the Cavaliers attacked, James continued to break through. Because Kwame Brown was pulled to the middle of the bottom line by Guden, it was difficult to defend the inside line. The Eagles can only use three outside lines to plug together. James rushed to the basket and was blocked. McGrady, Liu Mang, and Prince hit the ball and scored the ball to Damon Jones in the top arc. Liu Mang had already rushed towards Damon Jones when McGrady came to block James' jump.
But James' break point really has nothing to say, the timing is very good, his teammates don't need so many skills, just need to catch the ball and throw it in.
Damon Jones is seriously deteriorating this year, and only three points still maintain the first-class level, which just meets the needs of James for his teammates. The first three-pointer hit the ball!
8 to 10, the difference is back to two points.
When the Hawks attacked again, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and saw Los Angeles-based McGrady asking for the ball in the top arc. Liu Mang could only fish and pass the ball.
The status of McGrady's superstar was provoked by the referee. How could it be tolerated? Liu Mang was confident of McGrady and passed the ball to McGrady. He pulled himself to the left 45 degrees and was ready to catch the ball.
McGrady received the ball and drove a step forward to the right near the three-point line, James immediately ironed towards McGrady.
McGrady is now very focused and responding quickly. The moment James posted it, McGrady's long right leg straddled out and started quickly. Two consecutive steps have already entered the free throw line!
Rao is James and ca n’t keep up with Maddie ’s movements!
Tracy McGrady is still quick in the third step and catches the ball. After stepping out in the third step, he jumps out and Z jumps up. Tracy McGrady throws the ball to Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown is so excited. Why is it so much that after receiving the ball and taking a jump, both hands smashed the ball into the basket.
12 to 8, the Hawks continued their offensive firepower.
From the point of view of the play, the Cavaliers really restrain the Eagles. Just like the Supersonics restraint the Eagles, the Eagles are difficult to prevent such a super breakthrough master's sudden points.
But on the Eagles side, they don't advise at all.
The play style is restrained, so be restrained. If the defense is not good, try your best to start with the offensive end!
The supersonics are not as good as the Hawks, let alone the Cavaliers?
When the Cavaliers attacked, Liu Mang, McGrady, and Prince's defensive pincers became more rapid. At the same time, Liu Mang's expansion after the pincers also expanded more quickly. After James broke through and attracted the pinch to divide the ball, Damon Jones was slow After a shot, I still wanted to adjust as well as the last shot. It was half a second slow. Liu Mang rushed in front of him. Damon Jones failed to hit a three-pointer against Liu Mang's defense.
The advantage of the Cavaliers around James is that the advantage is that the space is widened, so that James can break through to score or score, but the shortcomings are also obvious, rebounding!
McGrady and Prince sandwiched James, and Kwame Brown rushed in to pick up the rebound and immediately gave it to McGrady. When McGrady was on the card, he had been paying attention to his teammates. Liu Mang took the lead in the halftime. Snow and Damon- Jones chased up to Liu Mang, and McGrady immediately sent a long pass high. The Cavaliers chased Liu Mang crazy, and even Drew Gooden, who was a long way behind, was desperately moving towards Liu Mang. chase.
However, McGrady's pass was not given to Liu Mang. Liu Mang, the scoring leader of Lianzhuang, was regarded as the object of pulling hatred. McGrady passed the follow-up Rashid Wallace!
Rashid Wallace followed the top arc, just got the ball, and made a three-point shot ...
In the summer, Rashid Wallace's three-pointer also scored!
15-8, the Hawks lead 7 points!
When it was determined that the defense was restrained by the opponent, Liu Mang set up a defensive counterattack tactic when coach Kruger sought the referee theory.
The Cavaliers can vote, then there is no way, if you can't, you can fight back!
Liu Mang knew that Kruger ’s theory of looking for referees would not change the referee ’s tolerance for James ’whistle, so the tactical arrangement was very decisive, just like the pre-match coaching staff arranged, and try to speed up the rhythm!
The key point is that the Eagles dare to wave! No need for Liang Jingru, two consecutive championships gave the Hawks players the courage to wave.
More than 4 minutes, 7 points difference, and the Cavaliers called a timeout! And it was a timeout called by James.
Back on the bench, James took the tactical board from Mike Brown, and Mike Brown watched James arrange the tactics like that.
The TV picture did not broadcast this, but Coach Kruger noticed that after seeing the encounter of the other coach, Coach Kruger was in a good mood! The depression of the referee blowing McGrady's technical offense was offset.
...
The Pacers came back after a timeout.
The first long timeout came too early, there was no substitution on the Hawks side, and there was no substitution on the Cavaliers side.
After James received the ball in the frontcourt, it was transported to the top arc, Prince was defending within the three-point line, and Liu Mang was ready to attack at any time.
James still chose to break through, and the sudden score is his biggest strength, and there is nothing else for the time being.
James rushed into the inside, and under Prince's defense, he entered Kwame Brown's defensive range of the basket. James did not have a good jump space, so he did not take three major steps, rushed to the basket, attracted to the boast After the pursuit by May Brown and Prince and Liu Mang, the ball was passed to the big Z on the left side of the three seconds zone. The big Z held high and threw a shot to score two points.
The Cavaliers' tactics have changed!
The Cavaliers put the big Z closer to the basket on the offensive end. This strategy is very smart. Kwame Brown is at the basket. Then the Eagles shrink and there are fewer people. It seems that James's breakthrough becomes Difficult, the space for him to jump at the basket is reduced, but this way, Liu Mang and Prince's pinch space is also reduced, James does not need to take three major steps, directly towards Kwame Brown Drilling in, he has a good vision, so he can give it to the big Z.
10 to 15, or 5 points.
James is really powerful. Even if there is no extra footsteps to find space, it is very unsolvable to break through this point alone. The extra footsteps are also based on the breakthrough with no solution, and the ball quotient is high. Made a change.
But ... the Hawks attacked more aggressively!
When McGrady received Liu Mang's ball in the frontcourt, he continued to break through, and the Cavaliers quickly shrank and wrapped McGrady into dumplings!
At this time, McGrady's vision was blocked by James's arm and Guden's pass. The big Z pushed Kwame Brown under the basket and flung the ball to the left side.
It was so tacit, Liu Mang ran without the ball, cut in from the left side of the three-second zone and received the ball. At this time, Kwame Brown squeezing the big Z immediately became the one squeezed by Kwame Brown. Liu Mang Rushing into the rim, Eric Snow snatched the ball into the rim with Kwame Brown one-handed.
Kwame Brown is speechless, can't a good layup? Usually do not buckle, do you have to buckle? Teammates are not let go?
In just 5 minutes, the Hawks scored 17 points!
17 to 10, or 7 points!
The Cavaliers played well offense, but the Hawks are better!
Obviously, the Cavaliers are not very comfortable 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 Hawks ’outside line. The two outside lines are capable of breaking through the basket and the ability to end the basket is strong. problem.
Perhaps as the season progresses, other teams will find a lot of ways to restrict the Hawks like this, but now, the Cavaliers can't hold it!
In particular, McGrady ’s mad core offensive player ’s style of play does not require McGrady ’s single defense. The Cavaliers ’starting lineup is only James’ singles strong point. Others ’play styles are limited to eating, even if there are singles. The big Z of ability can only eat cakes. All-stars such as Love and Bosh will gradually become role-players, not to mention that they have only barely entered the All-Star big Z. McGrady's defensive pressure Smaller, you can focus on breaking the ball.
In addition to the counterattack, the Hawks are now playing McGrady's outside three-pointers and breakthrough points, which looks like James's.
The same style of play, the two break through the threat, can be considered half a catty, but Tracy McGrady can now say what he dreamed for a long time during the Magic: I have better teammates than everyone else!
Tracy McGrady and James continued to fight against each other. When the official suspension was reached in the first quarter, the Cavaliers scored 16 points in seven minutes, a high score, but the Eagles scored 24 points!
James performed very well. He scored 6 points and 3 assists by breaking through points, but Tracy McGrady scored 8 points and 4 assists!
In addition to Prince's general performance, mainly the offensive performance is poor, and the overall performance is very general, 2 of 0 three-pointers, everyone else has scored!
Tracy McGrady led the Hawks with 24 points in seven minutes. They were not replaced during the official timeout. Coach Kruger was not happy, and Tracy McGrady continued to do them. He replaced Liu Mang with Jason Terry, Tracy McGrady, The lineups of Iguodala, Josh Smith and Rashid Wallace continue to let McGrady lead the offense.
The Cavaliers also began to rotate, and replaced with the lineup of James, Ronald Murray, Donyer Marshall, Gooden and Valejo.
...
Sitting on the sidelines, Liu Mang didn't expect that he would be too easy to watch the teammates lead the team to abuse their opponents.
Tracy McGrady and Jason Terry took turns to take turns, it was too cruel, the two were at the beginning of the season, they were in the best physical condition, especially Tracy McGrady, practiced for so long in the summer, no waste time, training camp, preseason After the fight, they are in a good state. The two usually go up to the wheel to deal with James.
James data can be played very beautiful, but from the scene, it is undoubtedly that the Hawks have the absolute upper hand.
They are all rotations, but because of the absence of Larry Hughes from the Cavaliers, the bench lineup is not bad, but this time even the big Z is gone, the big Z physical problems are more serious than Yao Ming, and the pitchers of this lineup are not as good With a strong starter, Valejo was abused by Rashid Wallace who had previously taught him to play at the basket. The Cavaliers 'main problem was rebounding. Although the Hawks' rebounding is not top, it is also the top few in the league. Cavaliers The team's rebounding strength is definitely the countdown to the league, the best rebounding ability is actually Valejo and James.
After the first quarter, the Hawks scored 38 points!
The Cavaliers played well, scoring 26 points, but the Hawks scored too much, leading 12 points in a single quarter!
...
The score is too exaggerated. T.N.T's commentators who livestreamed the game, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, did not know how to describe the game. The Hawks game completely pinned the opponent.
Although Kenny Smith and Barkley usually intervene, but still have professional knowledge, Kenny Smith made the inference: "The Hawks are a step ahead of other teams to understand the current rules and use the rules, Liu Zai After the last game against the 76ers, it was said that they just put all the that should be thrown, and the Cavaliers have a lot of that should not be scored. Perhaps the future shot will become the dominant player in the league. "
As a pitcher, Kenny Smith is looking forward to that day.
But Charles Barrick does not like this statement: "The melee in the basket is the real basketball. You see Ace and McGrady. The main attack is the basketball. McGrady just uses the three-pointer as a tool to attract the opponent's defense."
"Maybe you are right, like I got two rings from a three-pointer and you were empty-handed." Kenny Smith didn't know when to take the championship ring out and put it on.
"Kenny, I'm dueling you!"
"Are you talking about my donkey? It seems to be in love with you, and I can't eat any food lately ..."
...
Tracy McGrady is the protagonist today, playing the best, leading the Hawks to continuously expand the score.
In this contest with James, McGrady has the upper hand, and it is obvious that the Hawks pitcher is better than the Cavaliers pitcher. The Cavaliers ’best pitchers are Donyer Marshall and Damon Jones, but they both Three hits per game, add up to Liu Mang ...
In the third minute of the fourth quarter, Liu Mang hit a fourth three-pointer in the game, and finally scored 20 points and scored 22 points. In addition, there were 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Looking at his statistics, Liu Mang feels that he is the ultimate version of Derek Fisher, except for his wife who doesn't like his teammates.
Scoring by eating, scoring by assisting and then passing or cutting, he did n’t even ask him to do too much. When McGrady did n’t need much effort on the defensive end, the offense performed really well. When Liu Mangdu When going to be a supporting role, the team turned around McGrady, and McGrady was refreshed.
Played for 34 minutes, got 30 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists! Overcome 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. From the fourth quarter to the third minute, with Liu Mang ’s three-pointer, the Hawks scored 107 points! The Cavaliers only have 85 points, not because the Cavaliers have a bad offense, but because they ca n’t resist it.
Three minutes after the start of the fourth quarter, the score difference was finally opened to more than 20 points!
James has worked hard and worked hard, but watching Eric Snow make another shot in the open and get defensive rebounds by Liu Mang.
Liu Mang saw that the Cavaliers had started to move from the bench. This ball will not be given to McGrady. The last attack will come by himself!
This guy is 30 + 10!
Liu Mang wants to get his score to 25 points! Don't give up three points in this attack!
Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and saw Snow Mad Dog rushing up. Liu Mang moved sideways to avoid it, or rushed into the inside. Two points is also possible. 24, what a good number!
Liu Mang rushed into the free throw line, grabbed the ball, prepared a peristaltic layup, and showed a good face at the last moment. At this time, Snow turned to catch up, and James was also abused and shot towards Liu Mang , Liu Mang took a step, was followed by Snow, and took another step, James came, and the third step was taken out without a mobile phone meeting!
Between the light and stone fire, Liu Mang took the fourth step decisively!
The referee's whistle was all in his mouth, but he put it down.
It ’s not just that opponents are not used to three layups and one more jump, the Cavaliers ca n’t get used to it. Liu Mang stepped out on the fourth step and landed on two feet, turning over and throwing ...
"Uh ..." Liu Mang felt his face crackle.
Okay, whoever can take one more step can vote?
Liu Mang's tossed and cast a bridge, three non-stick! The ball fell to the floor, a group of people in the basket scrambled and touched the ball out of bounds.
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown called a timeout.
McGrady came up and patted Liu Mang with a smirk. The Hawks ’bench has started to take off training uniforms, as is the Cavaliers.
Liu Mang depressedly followed Tracy McGrady to the bench and watched Jason Terry excitedly take the bench up to prepare to brush the data, so depressed!
Not at all suitable!
No wonder Liu Mang remembered that after the league changed the jumping rule, only James was the one who played like that, because he was used to that kind of play alone, and everyone else was used to the normal three-step layup and two more steps. Instead, he broke his rhythm.
To take another step in the layup, you also need to have that ability!
Liu Mang understood the meaning of "you do what you want" this time, and three big steps jumped to make a layup, not everyone can do it.
If the league really determines the rule changes and determines this extra step as "legal", then the performance of James now is his real strength. Nothing in the NBA will change, nor is it possible for others It ’s so easy to learn this trick. It ’s better to practice normal play than it is. It ’s mainly because it ’s difficult to change this habit. James still relies on this trick to be strong. Others will not be affected. What should I do? How to fight or how to fight, still have to find a way to deal with such James.
...
As Liu Mang thought, David Stern, who was watching the live broadcast of T.N.T, saw Liu Mang's layup after learning James's layup, and his old eyes brightened.
As the president of the NBA, of course, the professional knowledge about basketball is very rich. After more than 20 years, the NBA president is not in vain. Seeing Liu Mang ’s skill is so good, the players who can play the flowers with both hands ca n’t adapt to this layup, immediately Decided, change the rules!
From the 03-04 season, many fans attacked the league to support James ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It was only then that James ’Cavaliers were weak and did not affect the strong teams. The strong teams are very popular except the Spurs and Pistons. Most fans don't care so much, they just talk.
This year, the Cavaliers have added Larry Hughes and several high-quality role players based on James and Big Z. There is no problem in the playoffs, but they want to be the front of the league like Liu Mang. It's much worse.
Jordan, Olajuwon, Malone, O'Neill ... Even Iverson, when playing as a facade, the team's record is the best in the league.
David Stern is right to hold Liu Mang, but Liu Mang is a foreigner. David Stern needs to take care of American fans, so he has to hold a new front.
James must be able to play well, even if thousands of people mean.
From the perspective of David Stern, he can see that James has great potential to become an era-level superstar such as a magician, a king, a god, and a shark.
So change the rules and get into the kind of David Stern's schedule that is urgently needed.
Since there are so many teams complaining, so many players complaining, it is not enough to justify 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.
McGrady played 30 minutes with 30 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists to become the MVP of the game, helping the Hawks to lead 18 points in the third quarter and 22 points in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the Hawks relied on Tracy McGrady's 30 points and 11 assists. Liu Mang scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in 28 minutes, 7 of 4 shots, and Kwame Brown's 18 points and 17 rebounds. Rashid Hua With three three-pointers from Rice, the Eagles beat the Cavaliers 128 to 104 and 24 points!
