From today on is the king

Chapter 1403 1402. Player's Character

"Grant Hill, ability evaluation 87, offense 84, defense 89, three-pointer 71, mid-range shooting 85, layup 92, speed 88, strength 91..."

Seeing Grant Hill's ability evaluation, Liu Mang felt like crying.

Finally, after Jason Terry, I have another substitute with an ability rating of 85!
If the core of other teams knew what Liu Mang was thinking, they would definitely want to beat him to death.

But this is indeed Liu Mang's rare ability to evaluate a substitute who has rated 80.

Before that, only Jason Terry and Battier were rated over 80 as substitutes.

On the other hand, Rondo and Granger are rookies with outstanding characteristics and strong potential but have not yet been fully developed.

Even the previous Josh Smith and Iguodala were the same during their time in the Hawks. They were very functional and their potential was not fully developed due to their short career time.

Of course, because of the strength of the core lineup, the Hawks' substitutes, except for Jason Terry, only need to strengthen their outstanding advantages to give full play to their advantages, and they don't need to be so versatile, so even if they are still very young, they still look good.

But compared to Grant Hill, a first-class player with comprehensive skills and more than ten years of experience, the youngsters are definitely far behind in terms of ability evaluation.

Now Liu Mang can also use his teammates to compare the number of players with an ability rating over 80 with the Bulls and Mavericks!
As for the other two new players...

"Mark Jackson, ability rating 77, offense 69, defense 84, three-pointer 33, mid-range shot 59, layup 90, speed 81, strength 94..."

"Stromile Swift, ability rating 65, offense 60, defense 79, three-pointer 41, mid-range shooting 60, layup 79, speed 87, strength 88..."

Mark Jackson is okay. He has no problem as the starting center of a weak team, but he is a fully weakened version of Kwame Brown, and he is okay as a substitute for Kwame Brown.

Swift here... besides physical fitness, has almost no advantages...

A short insider with a height of [-] meters, he runs fast, jumps high, rarely gets injured, and has a strong style of play. He once had wonderful shots of dunking Yao Ming and Nowitzki, Duncan, Garnett...all superstar insiders.

Liu Mang thinks that Swift's physical fitness will not be worse than Stoudemire's, but Da Si and Xiao Si... are not nicknamed because of their strength...

Swift has almost no technology to speak of.

But surprisingly, as soon as Swift got to know Rondo, Grant Hill, McGrady and others, they became familiar with each other.

Swift has one advantage. Although he is not very smart and his basketball IQ is basically zero, he is very good at dealing with things. He has always been very good at currying on the team's players with the ball. Otherwise, he would not have so many opportunities to eat cakes under such poor skills.

Although Rondo is a rookie, he is one of the team commanders. He had a lot of limelight in his rookie season. Swift is very good at cooperating with point guards to eat cakes. McGrady and Grant Hill are two teammates who are good at passing. Swift also decisively curry favor.

But for Liu Mang, who has a "bad reputation", Swift didn't dare to say anything except to say hello.

Liu Mang was also happy to be at leisure, so he didn't need to do too many pleasantries.

Liu Mang didn't think Swift could stay on the team for long, as his skills were too eye-catching.

……

When it came to tactical training, Grant Hill's familiarity with the team's tactics made it easy for him to enter the role of tactical running. The passing and running accuracy in training... were all done very well.

Although it was just training, Grant Hill was eye-catching at the time!
He did not rely on the old to sell the old, did not put on the airs of a veteran superstar, was calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and accepted any role assigned. Grant Hill used practical actions to explain to young and new teammates the excellent qualities that a professional player should have.

During the two weeks of rest, Grant Hill has been working hard to learn the team's tactical system.

There are many things that make him feel incredible.

One thing in particular that wasn't written into the playbook, but was mentioned by everyone from the team's physical therapist to the trainer to the assistants to the team's medical advisor Thomas Carter...

"Ace's arrangements on the court are above all else."

That's probably what it means.

No matter how good the tactics are, how good the tactical intentions are, and how high the success rate is, if Liu Mang has a request, Liu Mang's ideas will be given priority.

A young man like Gortat, who just came to the NBA from the European team basketball atmosphere, can't understand the "hidden rules" of such a team at all, but Grant Hill, as an Eastern player, has intuitively felt how good Liu Mang is.

For Grant Hill, this actually allows him to devote himself to learning the team's tactics without having to think too much about it. If he encounters a problem that tactics can't solve, he can just give the ball to Liu Mang.

"Grant, Mark, Stromile, with the three of you, I have more confidence in the game tomorrow night." McGrady put his arm on the shoulder of his old teammate and said.

McGrady felt so unreal. More than six years ago, he was looking forward to partnering with Grant Hill, who was hailed as the next Jordan.

Although things are different now, McGrady and Hill are partnering again, and the two have a feeling that they have returned to the beginning of the new century...

"Group 333, you guys really have a good relationship..."

When the two were exchanging pleasantries during the tactical training, a voice suddenly came out.

Grant Hill was startled, and turned his head to see that it was Liu Mang.

McGrady has been used to it for a long time, and asked: "333 combination? Ace, are you talking about our jersey number?"

"You guessed it right!"

"..." McGrady felt desperate for Liu Mang's talent for nicknames, but Liu Mang now has a great say in the basketball world, and the nickname he gave basically became a nickname...

Liu Mang chatted with Tracy McGrady and Grant Hill. After the rest time, we continued to train. After the team added new players, there were many things to adjust, for the next game!
With the addition of new teammates, Liu Mang has greater confidence in dealing with the Lakers' inside group. The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. In terms of quality, no team in the league can compare with the Lakers' inside group. Let's fight for quantity!
The preparation time before doing big things always feels very short. Time flies to February 2. As the traffic of the league, the game between the Eagles and the Lakers is the first game after the All-Star Weekend this year, and it is about to kick off the second half of the season.
