From today on is the king

Chapter 1313 1312. A keen sense of crisis (Buddhist update 15.)

What is a qualified leader?
What is a good leader?
Liu Mang used to take one step at a time, and was lucky to be in a good situation, but now, after Liu Mang played the first game, he became alert.

When winning the first championship, it was logical to reach the first peak in team history. The perfect match between Liu Mang and Raheem is similar to the combination of Liu Mang and Garnett that the Eagles wanted very much this summer. Together with Rasheed Wallace in the last year of his peak, Jason Terry, the best sixth man, Ratliff, the uninjured shot-blocking king, and Boozer, Stockton and other role players, the epic 16 wins and 1 loss record in the best playoffs in history won the championship.

McGrady sacrificed himself to win the championship in the second year, Kwame Brown improved significantly, and Rasheed Wallace was still at the end of his peak. He got high-quality role players such as Mourning and Persson in the middle of the season, laying the foundation for defending the title.

In the third year, it was simple and rude. Barry and Horry were obtained, mainly because of the lucky Horry. Liu Mang reached his first peak and played the strongest regular season performance in history.

But after the three consecutive championships, they began to be targeted, and because of the targeting of other teams, the signings of the Eagles this past summer were completely different from what was originally expected!
From the perspective of the team and from Liu Mang's personal perspective, neither is as perfect as the previous signings.

In the past three years, the introduction of Rasheed Wallace, Mourning, and Horry has been easily done.

But this year, all they got were "spare tires", so the contrast to Liu Mang was particularly great!
It's not that Marion and Battier are bad, it's just...they're not like when Rasheed Wallace first came to the Eagles, they escaped from "prison" and were willing to do any dirty work.

It's not like McGrady is ready to be Pippen, and his personality is very resigned.

It's not like rookies like Iguodala and Josh Smith, who just entered the NBA and were tricked by Liu Mang into being a super scorer. After all, the team has two such players forming a double wave.

Marion scored 9 points and 8 rebounds in the first game. He was active in defense and dared to fight. He got 4 offensive rebounds and kept the Eagles hopeful.

But it is hard to prevent the power forward with the strongest scoring ability in history who is in the best state at the beginning, with an offensive rating of 99, and inside players, except O'Neal, Liu Wei estimates that only the late basketball emperor Chamberlain can compete with Nowitzki in offensive ability, Duncan, Olajuwon, and the strongest evergreen Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

From a single aspect, such as inside scoring, there are many better than Nowitzki, but compared with Nowitzki, Nowitzki has the top offensive inside, the first in the history of CIC inside, and maybe the top five three-point ability in the league. Nowitzki, who has entered the peak period and is in the best state since the beginning of the season, no one can defend.

Battier's defense is good, playing Prince's backup, the two defend very well on the perimeter, but the low-post defense against Josh Howard is not as good as Iguodala's top defense.

This is not to say that the two are not good enough, but that the two are not used to defending like this.

And more importantly, on the offensive end, they failed to get used to the offensive end of Liu Mang, McGrady, and Jason Terry like the teammates Liu Mang joined before.

For example, Kwame Brown, who scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, performed very well, but two punches are no match for four hands!Dampier's strong body is enough for him to drink a pot, but Kwame Brown is very used to playing, but his teammates are not as good as they used to be.

Liu Mang played less in the preseason, and the coaching staff wants to give role players more opportunities to adapt to running tactics in the game. This is a normal idea. Except for the Celtics in the 60s, no team has the experience of how to successfully compete for the championship after three consecutive championships. There is no precedent for the Eagles coaching staff, including Liu Mang, to refer to.

However, this conservative preseason arrangement caused his teammates to fail to adapt and understand the psychological endurance needed to partner with Liu Mang in advance in the official game.

When Liu Mang won the assists title last season, he was a guy who would dominate shots if he wanted to score 90 points. Before, he could get whatever teammates he wanted, and he would know what to do with whatever teammates he wanted, but it's different now.

Undoubtedly, the Eagles are still very strong, with a very good lineup, and they can compete with the Mavericks, who are in an excellent start, but they are not as strong in details as they were last season.

The best part is that Liu Mang is very sensitive to this feeling of uneasiness, he feels the team's problems very strongly!

If there is a problem, we must find a way to solve it.

Liu Mang returned home, put the little loli who was depressed and sleepless after losing the first battle to sleep, then went back to the room, and got tired of Levia. After Levia fell asleep, Liu Mang took out the paper and pen from the bedside table. .

If you have any questions, just write them down, and then discuss with the coaching staff and communicate with your teammates!
……

……

"Coach, John, this is the problem we encountered last night that I thought of." Liu Mang was also rude, and handed over the problem written last night to Stockton and Coach Kruger.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Mang arrived at the arena early after sending little loli and bodyguards to school.

For the first time in four years, Liu Mang did not win the opening game. Liu Mang entered the sixth NBA season and lost the opening game for the second time. In terms of public opinion, the Eagles encountered a lot of pressure.

Liu Mang was mentally prepared. He was already prepared for the most difficult season, so he didn't panic when he encountered something. Instead, he listed the problems and made an appointment with the coaching staff to see him in the morning.

Coach Kruger came earlier than Liu Mang, and he and Stockton came to the arena at seven o'clock, waiting for Liu Mang to come.

Looking at a lot of problems listed by Liu Mang, the problems that were exposed in the first game, or problems with certain signs, or potential problems, some of which the two coaches failed to analyze, Liu Mang wrote them down.

Last night's temporary team meeting was just an analysis of the reasons for the lack of tactics, and the coaching staff didn't blame anyone.

Role players, no wonder. Liu Mang, McGrady, and Jason Terry all made more than 60 shots in total, while their teammates only made 30 shots in total.

And blame Mitaka... Two of the three consecutive championships were won by the offensive firepower of this combination.

Looking at the problems listed by Liu Mang, there are more than the two offensive coaches imagined!
