From Today it is the King of the Basketball

On January 3rd, the Eagles' second year of the new year came.

Liu Mang went to the Ford Center Arena training early in the morning. From 6:30 to 10:30, four hours, he was training for Gary Payton's defensive training card for half a training day.

Emmanuel looked asleep on the chair beside him, thinking what technique Liu Mang was going to practice, who knew Liu Mang put a few chairs and ran around the chair irregularly, accelerating slow down……

Emmanuel could not go yet, Liu Mang was hungry to feed, and thirsty to drink.

The teammates came and saw Liu Mang ’s training. He was puzzled, but Prince stared at it for a while. When Liu Mang was drinking, he asked uncertainly: "Aisi, you are preventing a pick-and-roll. ? "

"Well, I practice more, and my opponents who are good at pick-and-roll in the future can use it." Liu Mang responded, and finally someone understood!

"..." Prince did not continue to speak, set a few chairs, and practiced across the half of Liu Mang's contact ...

The main function of this training is various methods of circling the pick-and-roll or squeezing past when it is encountered at various positions. It needs to let the body and consciousness react naturally again and again, so the training is also extremely boring.

McGrady looked at it and felt bored. Was it so troublesome to practice defense? He chose to practice catching three-point shots.

From the ball-handling style at the beginning of the season, McGrady is now converted to catching and shooting, with ball-assisted offense as a supplement, and the three-point shooting rate has increased from 36% of the previous dozen games to the latter dozen. Forty-two percent of the game, now his goal is to maintain a stable three-pointer.

At 10:30, Liu Mang's training time with the coaching staff ended yesterday, and the Hawks had a game meeting about the Hornets at 11 o'clock.

Coach Kruger feels weird about Liu Mang's practice of fixing training time and training intensity. It feels that Liu Mang has OCD. There are always some weird things.

The conference about the Hornets was simple. After playing the Lakers, the Hawks began to take turns.

In November and December, the Eagles added back-to-back only three times, but there were three back-to-back in January in a month, two in February, and four back-to-back in March.

The holiday is inevitable. It is no longer the era when Pat Riley took the lead in putting players to death regardless of the future era, mainly since the star ’s salary in the mid-1990s was higher than one. Value.

Today Rashid Wallace and Prince and Mourning do not play. Granger, who has been training with the team since the end of December, finally got the chance to enter the roster.

Horry and Barry also began to take on the rotation role, looking for the game feeling, in the playoffs, these veterans are necessary.

After a brief meeting, Liu Mang and his teammates went to the lounge, and the team nutritionist had prepared lunch.

"Oh ... Danny, you can finally play, boss, pass Danny a pass!" After leaving the meeting room, David Lee was very excited, than Granger who entered the 12-man roster Be excited.

Liu Mang made a "huh," and did not directly agree or refuse.

"Boss, don't give me a pass. If I have the chance to play with you and help you grab a rebound, I will do it if I have the chance to pass it to me. I will try to shoot in!" Without being given a chance to play, he was stunned and thought of as a chance to turn over the salted fish.

This surprised Liu Mang, so a steady rookie!

Comparing David Lee, the rich second generation who always dreamed of being so far-reaching, Granger let Liu Mang appreciate even more. He is about 23 years old, which is also one of Granger's mature factors.

But ... too cold ...

"Danny Granger, ability evaluation 74, offense 72, defense 80, 79 three-pointers, 68 midfielders, layups 84, speed 88, power 83, ball control 70, pass 66 ... injury tendency: extremely high."

Liu Mang looked at Granger, and it was actually pretty good. A big man with a big body and a good defensive and stable defensive pitcher.

Has a certain organizational ability, but the ball control and pass are very general, the average level of the league, can not be expected.

But for a rookie, it is already very good.

The key is that Granger adapts quickly to the adult basketball world. Playing in the Development League has improved from 69 to 74 when he was selected. In the Development League, the core play and those that are appreciated by the NBA The players competed for power and performance, and did not give up because they were delegated to the development league. They have been working hard and making great progress.

However, in the system's ability evaluation of Granger, there is a very striking "extremely high", which is a higher grade than Tracy McGrady. Tracy McGrady's major injuries are mainly hereditary and accidentally injured by teammates in the original time and space. Not good, and Granger is a real glass man.

...

...

At 7:10 in the evening, the players of the two teams entered the stadium of the Ford Center Arena after the warm-up.

Fans on the scene were very enthusiastic and saw everyone cheering.

First, the Hawks players enter, then the Hornets.

When the Hornets players enter the field, the scene lights are restored, and Paul is ready to say hello to the big brothers, but, unexpectedly, the Hawks are more enthusiastic than him!

Seeing 58 standing on Paul's chest, Iguodala went up and hugged Paul's shoulder and said: "Oh, Chris, we left too early yesterday, I didn't speak to you well, I played really well yesterday, Continue to work hard today and let me see your outstanding performance! "

Paul responded in amazement: "Thank you ..."

Before Paul ’s words were finished, McGrady interrupted: "I heard that Ace is very optimistic about you. I came to see your game yesterday. You were much better than Ace at that time. Come on, you will be better than Ace. Strong! "

"With Chris in you, I can defend more seriously. I don't want to be detained by you." Kwame Brown also joined.

Paul saw a bunch of gangsters coming up and heard the gangsters' words, but he didn't know what to say. What was the situation?

At this time, Prince actually spoke!

"Chris, I'll prevent death today ..."

Before Prince had finished speaking, he was covered and opened to the side.

Several Eagles stared at Prince, what did they say! Frightened the child, how can I still play ... No, how can we be so friendly?

Liu Mang finally said: "Chris, let me see your strength!"

After Liu Mang finished speaking, a group of Eagles players who had just surrounded Paul had all spread out, leaving Paul with a face of aggression.

Paul didn't understand what was going on now.

Paul received a call from James today and heard that James must adjust his mentality today. No matter what happens, he ca n’t lose confidence. Paul is also very worried. When he went to greet Liu Mang and others just now, he was trembling.

But now, Paul feels that James is worried!

What a great group of people!

Players from the same company are so friendly! Compared to the veterans who want to suppress him, Paul feels that the Hawks are all good guys!

...

At 7:59, Liu Mang threw the magnesium powder into the air, and McGrady let the referee select a ball that was a little less mad for a second or two.

The Hawks sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Horry, Josh Smith and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

Horry came back as a starter. The multiple championship winners still had some advantages when the team began to take a break.

The Hornets sent Paul, Kirk Sneijder, Desmond Mason, David West, and PJ Brown to the starting lineup.

Kwame Brown defeated PJ Brown in the jump ball, the Hawks first attack.

Liu Mang took the ball to the frontcourt and Paul defended.

Paul is so excited now, and Liu Mang match!

Quite an excellent defense, Liu Mang felt a sense of imperviousness from Paul's defense. Of course, it looked from Paul's position and footsteps.

So Liu Mang leaned sideways and took the initiative to post to Paul.

Paul saw Liu Mang sticking towards him, and immediately pressed Liu Mang to try to steal, but Paul immediately felt a violent impact on his chest to chin!

Liu Mang suddenly lowered his center of gravity and swung the ball to the right rear with his right hand. He turned quickly and vigorously to the right!

Paul has a good defensive awareness, a good position, and a good defensive choice, and his small moves are beyond the concealment that ordinary rookies should have.

However, the current Paul, who was not the later strong guy, was crushed by Liu Mang and turned to break through!

Fortunately, the Hornets are rushing to win this season. Field control master Byron Scott has set up a targeted defense. Even if the opponent is the Eagles, Byron Scott wants to fight.

Desmond Mason, the super-physical man who once competed with Liu Mang for the dunk king, quickly came from the sideline.

Liu Mang divided the ball to the left sideline and passed it to Holly in the open.

Horry catches a three-pointer ...

Iron!

PJ-Brown guards defensive rebounds.

Offense and defense conversion, the Hornets attack.

Paul advanced to the frontcourt, and Liu Mang had just passed it too easily, and Paul couldn't help it.

On the offensive end, Paul is confident!

From the point of view of Paul's research, regarding speed, he felt that he did not lose to Liu Mang, and after the frontcourt, he immediately accelerated to break through!

Liu Mang ’s current defensive awareness is much better than last year, and with the blocker level 5 pre-judgment bonus, Liu Mang quickly judged that Paul was going to break through and moved to Paul ’s breakthrough route.

Paul's rapid change of direction is quite a bit like Allen Iverson's.

Liu Mang was thrown aside at once, but ... Tracy McGrady hit it!

Desmond Mason saw that McGrady was going to hit Paul and immediately cut towards the inside.

Paul is also looking for a teammate who was shorted, but Liu Mang and McGrady blocked the pass with Desmond Mason. Even because of his height, Paul did not see Desmond Mason empty.

Paul wanted to turn around, quit or find a chance to vote, just turned around and saw the third person!

Josh Smith is here too!

Liu Mang, McGrady, Josh Smith sandwiched Paul in a circle ...

Paul feels that the arena is a bit dark today! The light is blocked!

The Hornets didn't expect the opponent to defend like this, nor did Paul expect! If you can't pass, you can't retreat, Paul can only take a jump and shoot ...

"Snapped……"

"Boom ..."

Liu Mang leaped high, his left hand stretched out, and took the ball that Paul threw out and took it back to shoot it on his right hand.

Grab the cap!

Paul came up and gave Liu Mang a block!

Paul immediately hugged Liu Mang's hands holding the ball and tactically fouled before Liu Mang fought back.

Hawks sideline.

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and continued to break through to score for Horry.

But Horry still missed!

Horry regular season ... is really iron!

And Barry, the regular season is really accurate!

The characteristics of the two are completely opposite, Barry played well in the regular season, and then withered in the playoffs.

Horry did not hit the key ball or missed the ball. Last season, in the Spurs, Horry made 20% of his three-pointers in the regular season. In the playoffs, he increased to 30%. The total Forty percent of the finals ...

PJ Brown is not the 92 generation who can fly and buckle back then, only after the power centers of O'Neill, Mourning and Laveso-Ellis, he has no ability to continue flying. Www.readwn.com In the 14th season, the veteran defended defensive rebounds well, with a strong card position and grabbed defensive rebounds.

The Eagles quickly retreated and Paul received the ball to advance to the frontcourt.

Paul has a very bad feeling, the first ball is too weird!

Paul asked for a broad shoulder to suppress the shock, and beckoned to find David West pick and roll.

David West came up to help Paul block Liu Mang.

Paul saw that Josh Smith changed defense and didn't break out, but was preparing for a three-point shot ...

When Paul grabbed the ball, Liu Mang didn't change the defense and directly went around the line. With Josh Smith, Paul was caught outside the three-point line!

Paul wanted to pass it to David West. At this time, McGrady had already slammed in, blocked by Paul and David West, who opened the middle distance to the right after the pick and roll.

Another three-man defense!

Without a choice to break through, Paul was caught by three people again!

The key is that this kind of thing is not expected at all!

At this time, Paul quickly thought of a way, smashed the ball on the ground, and then transported to the left, trying to pretend that the ball hit the opponent player.

However, the referee on the left side of the basket clearly saw that the ball did not hit the Hawks player's body, immediately whistle, clenched his fists, two arms began to circle.

Go away!

Paul's nightmare began!

For the next period of time, the two teams started either making mistakes or playing iron, and fans on the scene watched dozing off.

Paul, I really want to wake up from the "dream"!

After playing for a few rounds, he caused a foul, was risked once, was intercepted once, and passed the ball to Desmond Mason, Desmond Mason had three three-pointers, two turnovers ...

After more than four minutes, Paul finally understood!

What do the old friends of your high school mean?
