From today on is the king

Chapter 1002 1001. Boss, I want to ask for leave!
To the Grizzlies offense.

Liu Mang defended the top arc and single-handedly defended against Damon Stoudemire.

Damon Stoudemire is running fast!
"Damon Stoudemire, ability evaluation 78, offense 82, defense 60, three-pointer 83, mid-range shooting 71, layup 84, speed 94, strength 72..."

Liu Mang tried his best to keep up with the quick footsteps and the flexibility of a short man, but he still couldn't keep up, just like a gopher, or a gopher flying close to the ground.

Damon Stoudemire burst to the right side of the three-second zone, attracted Josh Smith to supplement the defense, and quickly passed to Gasol.

Pau Gasol pulls away with a mid-range catch-and-shoot...his first shot of the season!
Liu Mang followed Damon Stoudemire to the inside, the ball just bounced to his side, and he jumped high to grab the defensive rebound.

The Grizzlies offense is quick and easy!But judging from this round, Liu Mang feels that the Grizzlies, who now have more space and have breakthrough masters, are stronger offensively than last season.

Mainly getting a healthy Damon Stoudemire.

Damon Stoudemire has played 82 games in the past two seasons, averaging 15 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which is quite a good performance. With a height of 1.7 meters, even though he turned 32 last month, he still runs very fast.

Little Flying Squirrel has escaped from the Blazers prison, and now he is more motivated to play. Although the salary is only 3 million US dollars in 1000 years, it is far from the 7-year salary of 8600 million US dollars in the Blazers period. The three-year salary is not as good as the previous year, but I have fun playing!

It's the Eagles offense again.

Liu Mang advances to the frontcourt. Before that, he only thought about throwing two for fun. Anyway, in the preseason, he wanted to show off his superstar power, but Josh Smith stole the limelight.

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt this time, he noticed that his teammates were very active in running positions, and they freed up space on the left and right sides of the top arc for him, which did not hinder his breakthrough. Instead, he was ready to attack and run on the other side when he broke through. Liu Mang rushed to the left, and Iguodala and Josh Smith on the right used air cuts to enter the inside line, helping Liu Mang to contain the defense, and at the same time, he was fighting for scoring opportunities after Liu Mang attracted the defense away.

Liu Mang broke through from the right, and Kwame Brown was ready to go out and pick and roll Korver, allowing Korver to move from the baseline to the upper limit.

When Liu Mang was learning fantasy footsteps with Olajuwon, the role players who returned to the team early were not idle, but made some small fine-tuning of their own based on the tactics planned by the head coach in summer!

Liu Mang broke through from the left again, but Damon Stoudemire still couldn't defend. Compared with Jason Williams, Damon Stoudemire's defense was far worse.

Liu Mang suddenly passed the ball from mid-range to Iguodala, who used Josh Smith's pick-and-roll to cut in. Iguodala cut to the inside, and Lorenzen White, who was leaning on the supplementary defense, passed the ball to Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown did not dare to take the ball off.

Another two points in hand!

The Grizzlies offense looks better, but the defense... sucks!
Without Jason Williams, Damon Stoudemire can't guard anyone. Without Battier, Gasol can guard the front line, and Butler can't guard anyone.

After the start of the game, the Eagles played a wave of 4 to 14 in 6 minutes!

After the start of the game, Liu Mang originally planned to show off a wave of scoring, but he didn't expect to send out several assists in a row at the beginning! In 4 minutes, 2 points and 3 assists, except for one of Iguodala's throws that missed, Liu Mang rushed in to make a tip-up and got two points. He didn't make any shots himself, and it was already 14 to 6!
The Grizzlies' current lineup is much stronger offensively than last season. With Eddie Jones, a stable mid-range and long-range catcher, Caron Butler is also very good at three-pointers and air cuts. Gasol is an all-around power forward.

However, the Eagles have Kwame Brown at the basket on the defensive end and Josh Smith on defense. After the Flying Mouse broke through, Gasol had a lot of chances to open mid-range shots, but the mid-range shots were not as effective as hitting the basket. Wall points the ball!
Josh Smith does have good physical talent, but his character is weak and submissive. Whatever the coach asks him to do, he will develop in that direction, and his talent is enough to allow him to develop into any type of player the coach wants.

But even if Josh Smith was trained as the core in his original time and space, he only averaged 1 or 35 points per game, 29 or [-] rebounds, [-] or [-] assists, and the second team of the All-Defensive Team with more than [-] steal and blocks.

But in this time and space, Josh Smith was not trained as a core player, but as a role-playing forward swingman responsible for assisting defense and attacking the rim, which worked wonders instead!

Josh Smith's style of play has become simpler and simpler, he doesn't need to think so much, he just needs to concentrate on studying what the team needs him to do, and his mind seems to have become better, because the things he needs to do are simple, so he can concentrate on studying how to do well in his role, and he has studied the tactical range of his own cooperation with several teammates who are also role players!
Josh Smith scored 4 points in 4 minutes, Iguodala scored 4 points, Korver made a three-pointer, Kwame Brown made a layup and made two free throws. With Liu Mang only scoring two points, the others scored 12 points in [-] minutes!
Both eat cakes. There is still a big difference between Josh Smith and Kwame Brown. Most of the time, Kwame Brown will only open his mouth to swallow the cakes, while Josh Smith will take the initiative to find opportunities to eat cakes!

During the training camp, I mainly followed the tactical training. I didn’t see that Josh Smith’s consciousness had improved so much. In the official game, the two talented second-year players, with Liu Mang, Kwame Brown, and Korver restraining the defense and opening up the space, they played their quasi-first-class strength perfectly and even performed supernormally!

The Grizzlies called a timeout, and Liu Mang, who scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, was replaced...

Seeing that the four boys with the lowest scores were all as high as him, Liu Mang wanted to vomit blood.

What about the agreed-upon Xiaoye taking the role players up to show a wave of operations?Why does it feel like a man who eats cakes with assists?

This is related to the fact that the Grizzlies want to "follow the trend" this season and strengthen their offense. After strengthening their offense, there has been a huge change from the Grizzlies' previous balanced offense and defense.

Coach Kruger replaced Liu Mang with McGrady, and tried McGrady to organize the offense.

Coach Kruger was also very surprised that the progress of the young players exceeded expectations, but this is better. The opponent's attention is on Mitaka. If the others play well, it will be of great help to the new season.

The preseason is about training newcomers. Unlike last season’s preseason, the Eagles have a stable core lineup this year, so apart from 15 players on official contracts, they didn’t sign a training camp contract. From the very beginning, they conducted preseason drills directly from a tactical point of view.

Coach Kruger began to experiment with tactics in which Liu Mang and McGrady took turns leading various combinations.

The Grizzlies are too miserable. Neither Gasol nor Butler are stars with great leadership ability, and they are a group of new teammates, role players led by Liu Mang or Tracy McGrady.

Later, the lineup of Calderon, Barry, Granger, David Lee, and Mourning all scored 26 to 23 in a single quarter. The Grizzlies flew all the way from Memphis to Atlanta, allowing the second and third graders of the Eagles to shine.

Liu Mang played 22 minutes and scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Josh Smith and Iguodala stole the limelight!

约什-史密斯22分4板3助攻，伊戈达拉14分4助攻，帮助老鹰队以124比91，33分的分差拿下第一场季前赛。

……

……

The tone was set in the first preseason game, allowing the role players to play more and show off their progress. Then on the 11th, the Eagles played an away game against Ashton's team, the Wizards.

The Wizards lost Larry Hughes in the summer, and the free agent is about to leave. It is already very good for them to get a second-round pick in return.

Arenas has also reached its peak period, reaching the 91 ability rating of the Arenas star card used by Liu Mang.

Jamison is also at his peak. The combination of Arenas and Jamison is still very good. There is one less ball-holding point, and he is still a breakthrough player who does not shoot but needs a lot of ball-holding.

But when Arenas met the Eagles, he felt cold all over his body. He used to hear the media and fans talk about "Icephobia", and Arenas felt uncomfortable and aggrieved. Now Arenas really felt that he was in an ice cellar when he met Liu Mang... The new term "icephobia" was coined by Arenas.

Relying on Kwame Brown's 31 points and 12 rebounds, the Eagles beat the Wizards 95 to 77.

Jamison scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. He really couldn't move Arenas who met Liu Mang...

On October 10, the Eagles returned home and ushered in the Wizards again.

In this game, Liu Mang was put on the bench, allowing Calderon to play more.

Tracy McGrady and Jason Terry also had little playing time in the preseason. The Eagles had three eagles on the perimeter and sat on the bench chatting for a long time.

Seeing Mitaka chatting non-stop, Barry asked curiously: "Ace, these young people are so good! Are you not stressed?"

Barry thought about himself. Ten years ago, he was also the slam dunk leader in his rookie season. In his third year, he was firmly in the starting position of the Clippers. However, because Ramond Murray, who entered the NBA a year earlier than him, came from behind and broke out, he was squeezed out.

Iguodala's talent is too good. Among the outside players in the 04 class, the Bulls' double-Jordan combination is the best. But the most talented is definitely Iguodala. Barry can see it just by watching these few preseason games.

When Liu Mang heard Barry's question, he felt weird, and didn't know how to answer it so that he would not appear to be so pretentious.

Just at this time, the Eagles called a timeout for personnel rotation.

Seeing Iguodala walking back to the bench, Liu Mang said to Iguodala, "Andre, go buy me a hamburger, I'm hungry."

"Okay boss!" Iguodala took the towel handed by the staff, and ran to the player channel while wiping his sweat.

"..." Barry...understood.

People don't care about this kind of thing at all, they just treat Iguodala as a younger brother.

This is a good thing for Barry at this stage. It is true that the young Eagles are aggressive, but they know their weight, so there is unlikely to be any conflict. Unlike when he was in the Spurs last season, Bunch Wells was not polite to Duncan, but Duncan had a high EQ and was not angry.

However, Barry still felt hurt.

In the super-giant world, Barry said that he didn't understand...

……

After double-killing the Wizards, the Eagles easily won the three games against the Bucks, Bobcats, and Knicks, and they mainly trained young people, and they still won easily.

Six consecutive wins in the first six preseason games. This is the first time in Liu Mang's career that he has not lost a game in the preseason. It is so rare.

This also proves from the side that the progress of the Eagles' young players has also made the Bucks, Bobcats, and Knicks very envious.

Iguodala, Josh Smith, the Hawks' two substitutes, have the potential of their young core!

In the first six preseason games, the Eagles played casually, and they were very happy to win.

However, after the Eagles returned to Atlanta on August 8, they began to prepare for the last preseason game. This preseason game was really well played.

The last preseason game is against the Miami Heat at home!

It's time for young players to exercise and exercise, and it's time to get ready for the regular season. It's just right to play against the Heat.

The preseason game between the Eagles and the Heat is also used by the league to warm up the regular season. The preseason game between the Eagles and the Heat has won the honor of being broadcast live in the United States.
The first opener of the regular season is the Lakers away game against the Heat on October 10. This has been the opener of the regular season for two consecutive years.

The battle between the OK combination, the duel between Kobe's old and new center partners, has attracted much attention.

Prior to this, the Eagles were used as a warm-up team.

The Eagles also just used the Heat to make final preparations for the new season.

On the 22nd, the Eagles conducted tactical training against the Heat. Since they did not know what the newly formed lineup of the Heat would look like, and the templates for the preseason games were not enough, they mainly trained for the three major stars of O'Neal, Wade, and Antoine Walker.

The Eagles players are very excited to play the Heat, the most threatening team in the East.

Young players also have a sense of responsibility. Iguodala, Josh Smith, Korver, Calderon and others no longer regard themselves as first- and second-year players from last season. They don’t want to be babies anymore. They want to take on more responsibilities.

On the morning of October 10, the Heat came to Atlanta, and the enthusiasm of the Atlanta fans became stronger and stronger after six preseason games. Although it was only a preseason game against the Heat, the fans were very excited.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, coach Kruger was chatting with his boss, Price, and was about to watch the players warm up, when suddenly Liu Mang ran up.

"Boss, I'm going to ask for leave tonight!" Liu Mang said anxiously.

"Are you asking for leave from the national live broadcast?" Price jumped up in fright!
