Cleveland fans are among the most passionate basketball fans in the NBA this year.

On James's birthday, nearly 21,000 people in the audience all wore special edition Cavaliers team T-shirts with the words "Happy 20th Birthday LBJ" printed on them. This is enough to show how popular James is in Cleveland.

Although the Cavaliers reached the Eastern Conference Finals in the sixth year of their establishment, they have never been noticed. In the 1990s, they also reached the Eastern Conference Finals and Jordan's Bulls reached the sixth game, but not many people still remember them.

Things are different now. With James, the attention the Cavaliers have received has reached the highest level in the 35 years since the team was founded!

The third-highest number of live broadcasts in the United States in the league best reflects the completely different treatment and attention the Cavaliers have received since James was added to the team.

After the Eagles players entered the stadium first, violent boos broke out.

When the Cavaliers players entered the stadium, cheers erupted, especially James, who felt like the King of Cleveland.

"Look at other people's fans. They have such a sense of teamwork and love their stars so much. Besides hating me, what else will our fans do?" Liu Mang complained to Iguodala next to him.

"..." Iguodala didn't know what to say.

Before the game started, a special guest came to the scene, and the scene was once again detonated!

Justin Timberlake!

Liu Mang all knows this guy's name. He won the 46th Grammy Award for Best Pop Singer in 2002! Now one of the most popular male singers in the United States, he came up and led the fans to sing a happy birthday to James!

This guy actually came to sing happy birthday to James! Liu Mang felt so... unhappy!

Liu Mang was envious and jealous when he saw James hugging Justin Timberlake warmly after he sang the birthday song. The two seemed to be very familiar with each other!

This social flower whose petals fade early is really good!

How many people are you going to piss off?

I've only been playing in the NBA for just over a year, and I already have such a good relationship with a world-class singer!

LeBron James, ability evaluation 89, offense 92, defense 82, 67 three-pointers, 69 mid-range shots, 99 layups, 93 speed, 90 strength, 80 rebounds, 80 passing...

Liu Mang looked at James' ability evaluation. He is so versatile. Except for long-range shooting, there is nothing he is not good at. His defense has not reached his peak but it is still top-notch. Except for three-pointers and mid-range shots, there is no free throw that is rated below 80.

In terms of aspect, it is simply abominable!

Liu Mang was even more envious and jealous. This guy was already so good in his second grade, and it seemed that it was too easy to break through the 90 ability evaluation. He might break through someday this season, and he was only 20 years old, and he was better than the little blacksmith who was 20 years old.

More than that, becoming a superstar is a matter of course, which is simply disgusting!

Iguodala next to him saw the displeasure in Liu Mang's eyes and looked at his friend who was chatting happily with the popular singer on the court. He was in silence for his friend...

…

At 8 p.m., the game, broadcast live on ESPN, began immediately.

James was very excited today. His birthday night was broadcast live across the United States, and his friends came to support him. Even he didn't know that it was Justin Timberlake who contacted the Cavaliers himself to give him a surprise.

James feels that he is in the best condition now, both physically and mentally. He wants to go on the court and compete with Liu Mang. What if he wins after seeing a ghost?

However, the happy mood did not last long. Under the urging of the referee, when he saw Liu Mang turning around to spread magnesium powder, his eyes looked at him full of malice!

That kind of eyes are full of jealousy!

James suddenly felt something in his heart. He didn't understand what Liu Mang was jealous about. Now Liu Mang is the scoring leader and one of the three MVP favorites. He has a higher chance of winning the MVP than O'Neal, second only to Nash, and his record is now the best in the league.

Among the top three, only the Suns and Pistons have a chance to compete with the Hawks.

What's there to be jealous of?

Is he jealous that he gave birth to a son? James thought of Rasheed Wallace, who dreamed of having a son, and felt that Liu Mang was also because of this!

James had no idea that it was because of his excellent communication skills that Liu Mang was envious and jealous...

Liu Mang came to the free throw line on his side of the basket and waited for Kwame Brown to jump up to the ball.

For a united team, the mood of the team leader will arouse the mood of the whole team. Seeing Liu Mang's eager expression and what Liu Mang said two days ago, the entire Eagles team was shocked.

The team is now full of evil spirits.

The Cavaliers sent out a lineup of James, Jeff McGinnis, Newbell, Drew Gooden, and Big Z.

The Hawks are still a combination of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

When Newbell saw Liu Mang's expression, he was so familiar that he was sure that someone on his side had offended him, and without even thinking about it, it was James, the strongest but youngest member of the team!

Although I don’t know how James offended Liu Mang, but seeing the players of his old team who were all looking evil under the leadership of Liu Mang, Newbell felt that today was going to be miserable...

Not only Newbell, but also James, McGinnis, Gooden, and Big Z all swallowed their saliva after the Hawks took their positions.

James couldn't figure it out! How come the Hawks, who were acting like brothers two hours ago, suddenly changed? He can understand Liu Mang's jealousy that he has a son, and he can also understand Rasheed Wallace, but

What do you mean by the others? Kwame Brown is not married yet, but Prince has a son, right? McGrady also gave birth to a son...

Just when James entered a strange circle of logical thinking, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown won the jump ball from Big Z with an absolute advantage, winning the 13th consecutive game.

jump ball.

James saw Liu Mang running toward him after receiving the ball and throwing it to McGrady. He quickly blocked the three-point line and chased Liu Mang to defend.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Liu Mang ran to the frontcourt, he immediately moved towards the top arc. James quickly moved sideways to the left to follow Liu Mang and the basket.

In between, be prepared for defense at all times.

But as soon as James took a step laterally, he was blocked by a big man!

Kwame Brown! In fast-paced offense, he is getting better and better at grasping the pick-and-roll timing Liu Mang needs. This is entirely due to the training of Stockton and Malone.

Kwame Brown blocked James, and James could only watch as Liu Mang suddenly accelerated and rushed inside like lightning.

"Ding...the pick-and-roll master is triggered at level 5, the host speed is 8, and the strength is 8..."

Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line to receive a pass from McGrady, took one step half a step outside the reasonable collision area, and took off!

"Ding...the strongest first step is triggered..."

Big Z retreated in time and guarded the basket. He saw that two teammates, Gooden and Newbell, who were trying to intercept Liu Mang were thrown away. He saw Liu Mang rush to the free throw line to receive the ball. Big Z

He didn't flinch, and stayed at the basket, waiting for Liu Mang to jump up and then rush to block the shot... Then his vision went dark, and his body was hit by a huge force and he couldn't stop leaning back. He felt like someone was sitting on his chest...

…

A second later, Big Z felt that "it's dawn", and the feeling of being pressed on his chest disappeared. What came into his sight was Liu Mang's back, turning around and running back.

It came so suddenly!

Just like the insider who was dunked by Wade's lightning attack, he didn't react at all and was already dunked!

Because those 1.93 meter tall men were already deep into the basket. Who would have expected that they could suddenly burst out and dunk directly?

The only thing that reminded Big Z that what he felt just now was indeed true was the horrified eyes of his teammates and the boos of the fans at the scene...

Big Z knows that he played the top five golf balls today, but it was the one in the background!

Liu Mang returned to the backcourt and waited outside the three-point line to defend. Of course he had to guard against the opponent's perimeter... the least powerful one, with McGrady and Prince there.

"Ding...Fancy dunk level 5 is triggered. Due to the host's explosive dunk, the morale of the entire Hawks team has been greatly improved, and the morale of the Cavaliers has been completely suppressed."

Liu Mang's dunk at the beginning made his teammates excited, and because of Liu Mang's skills, everyone's minds were very clear.

James still plays the position of point guard. In the two years before the Cavaliers acquired Snow, James was trained as a point guard.

James saw McGrady defending. It was the first time he saw McGrady defend so seriously after entering the NBA. Compared with Liu Mang and Prince, James felt that McGrady's defense was probably the weakest, so he decisively chose to break through.

...He is too careless!

McGrady took advantage of James' unpreparedness and didn't wait for his teammates to come up and attack him. He quickly slapped the ball on the ball that had just bounced after James patted it, and took the ball away!

James missed the ball and rushed forward. The ball was hit by McGrady and bounced in the direction of Gooden and Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed Wallace grabbed the ball!

The Cavaliers' defense retreated very quickly. James just doesn't have two excellent defensive players in Snow and Larry Hughes as mentors yet. His defensive ability is not good, but his defensive enthusiasm is still very good. He was stolen and it was too late to get angry.

, return to defense immediately.

The Cavaliers' tactics are that James breaks through on the offensive end. James can't touch Big Z and Gooden. McGinnis is good in singles. They are a team that wins by defense. They retreat very actively, especially when facing the league.

The Eagles have one of the best rhythms.

When Rasheed Wallace passed the ball to McGrady, the Cavaliers had already retreated for half the game.

However, the Eagles did not press the pace and continued to run! Because Liu Mang had already passed half the game!

Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt with the Cavaliers. After the Cavaliers retreated in place, he saw Liu Mang among his teammates!

Liu Mang rushed straight to the basket. The Cavaliers players quickly attacked and blocked Liu Mang. The scene of Liu Mang dunking the big Z just now was so shocking. The Cavaliers players were scared when they saw Liu Mang rushing inside.

McGrady and others also rushed over at this time. McGrady saw Liu Mang attracting the opponent's twin towers at the free throw line. He saw Kwame Brown cutting in from his right side and decisively passed the ball to the top.

Rasheed Wallace on the left side of the arc, Rasheed Wallace received the ball and shot a three-pointer...

Bang...didn't make it in!

But Kwame Brown rushed to the basket, and Liu Mang squeezed between Gooden and Big Z. He did not hit the offensive rebound, but kicked his right foot on the ground and opened his hands to resist the opponent's two centers.

.

"Ding... Rock Solid Level 5 trigger, when grabbing rebounds for teammates, there is a 25% chance of perfectly blocking the opponent..."

Fortunately, Liu Mang blocked the opponent's two-tower combination of two centers because of his positive attitude and the role of Iron Foot Kung Fu and Iron Mountain Kick, which may have added bonuses to this skill!

Kwame Brown easily grabbed the offensive rebound and jumped directly to smash the ball into the basket!
