From today on is the king

Chapter 565. 564. The opening match is coming
Maddie wears glasses?
Liu Mang couldn't help poking it with his hand, it really has lenses!

"Ace, what are you doing, these are real glasses!" McGrady laughed and cursed and slapped Liu Mang's hand away.

"I'm curious whether it's true or not." Liu Mang moved his hand away in embarrassment.

"I forgot my contact lenses. Fortunately, the glasses are in the locker in the locker room, otherwise I would not be able to read the score clearly." McGrady skillfully pushed the bridge of the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose with his middle finger.

"Wait, Tracy, do you usually wear contact lenses in games?" Liu Mang asked.

"I don't wear it, that thing will affect my judgment of distance, what's wrong?" Mai Di was very puzzled why Liu Mang asked this.

This is common sense. Generally speaking, if a basketball player wears contact lenses during training, he will definitely wear glasses. If he is used to not wearing glasses and only wears glasses when reading books, newspapers and watching TV, he will not wear glasses.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just curious, I'm not nearsighted."

"..."

Maddie is actually nearsighted!
Once upon a time, on domestic basketball websites, Liu Mang saw countless praises about McGrady's blurred eyes, that McGrady sees everything calmly, and that McGrady is a chic and unrestrained elf in the world...

Only now do I know that people are simply short-sighted and can't see clearly.

Seeing that McGrady is getting stronger and stronger, the muscles are supporting the suit. In theory, McGrady will enter the peak period this year.

In May after the end of last season, McGrady spent his 5th birthday while fishing. This age is almost the age when all the functions of the body have completed development, and the body is starting to wear flesh. It is similar to the Cavaliers James in 24 and 08. Even if he does not deliberately gain weight, it is obvious that he is getting stronger every year.

McGrady, who won the scoring title at the age of 23 last season, was selected for a team at the age of 22 last season. People think that McGrady has a bright future.

Therefore, whether it is the preseason or the regular season, the Eagles' opening game is against the Magic, the team that was squeezed out of the playoffs by the Eagles last season.

It's a good idea for the league to find a suitable opener opponent for each of the favorites.

The team in the East that is considered the strongest is still the Nets that reached the finals for two consecutive years and introduced Mourning on the basis of ensuring the core lineup. The West is undoubtedly the Lakers. From the aspects of expert media, fan interviews, and bookmaker odds, people think that the Lakers and the Nets may meet again in the Finals. Therefore, when the league arranges the schedule, it also arranges for the two teams to play the regular season opener.

The defending champion Spurs beat the Timberwolves with three heads, the matchup on the 21st, the grievances between the Kings and the Mavericks in the tiebreaker last year, the revenge of the head coaches of the Pistons and the Pacers, the continuation of the eighth battle between the Suns and the Rockets in the Western Conference last season...

When it was the Hawks' turn, the shadow of the Hawks last year was too great, and the league was also worried, so they didn't give a particularly explosive opener. Instead, it was the same as the eighth and ninth in the Western Conference last season. The continuation of the playoffs came, and the Eagles played the Magic.

McGrady's pick for the Eagles is still very interesting, but for this preseason game, McGrady is wearing a suit and sitting behind the technical table watching the game. He was injured. His waist was pushed by his teammates during the training camp. Conservative treatment will take two weeks to recover.

Coincidentally, Liu Mang also sat behind the technical table in a suit to watch the game.

The preseason, isn’t it just to adjust the lineup? Each of the 8 preseason games has tasks. The first task is to let the new players integrate into the team’s style of play.

So on the first day, Liu Mang and Ratliff didn't start. Stockton and Kwame Brown started, along with Prince, Raheem, and Rasheed Wallace.

Not only the Eagles have strengthened this year, but the Magic have also strengthened a lot. Tyronn Lue, who only hangs out with the big guys, Juwan Howard of the Michigan Fab Five, Rod Strickland, the assist king in 98, and other strong players joined.

Since there is no roster limit for the preseason, if the 20 training camp rosters are filled, 20 players can be rotated at will. Therefore, in this game, Coach Kruger and Coach Rivers have a good understanding and focus on training.

For the Eagles, Liu Mang and the others cooperated very well, which can be seen in training, so Liu Mang was rested in the first game, mainly to practice who can cooperate better when Stockton handles the ball, and Willie Green and Calderon also tried to master the ball.

For the Hawks, when Stockton was here, they played tightly and systematically. A point guard like Stockton can play well with anyone, even at the age of 41. So I tried Stockton for a few minutes as the master, and found that it was as expected. The best point guard in history is not a joke, but Calderon and Willie Green in the back are masters, which is a disaster.

As for the Magic, McGrady was injured and was forced to run in with others. Without the only core of the team, they could only try to cooperate with the first organizer on the bench and others.

The two teams played like one... the chickens pecked at each other.

Both teams ran happily. Although there were more turnovers and strikes, the pace was fast. After a round of pecking, the Eagles lost 97 to 105 in the away game to the Magic.

……

The first preseason game gave the Eagles coaching staff a better understanding of how the newly joined players play in official games.

So in the next few days, some adjustments were made to the rotation tactics. On October 10th, the Magic came to Atlanta, and the two teams played another game.

In this game, Stockton rested, because he already knew that no matter what system he was in, he could find a way to play well, and it was Liu Mang's turn to adjust.

It can be said to be a running-in, how can Liu Mang's excitement of breaking through the 85 ability value be suppressed, he wanted to go up and swing in the last game, but he was rested, and he didn't have a second of playing time.

This time on the court, Liu Mang first thought about a wave of his own, and threw a dozen in a single quarter when he went up. When he remembered to cooperate with his teammates, the rhythm of the whole game was brought to two sides... Finally, relying on Liu Mang's 44 points in the preseason game, the Eagles easily won the victory 122 to 105.

The first two games didn’t work out anything, but in the next three preseason games between Atlanta, New Orleans, and Las Vegas against the Hornets, the two teams played really well. But the cooperation is still good. With the Eagles giving up a Ratliff, the Eagles have two wins and one loss in three games.

In the last three games against the Bulls, Bucks, and Magic, the Eagles were all one-sided.

This tactic is to create easy scoring opportunities. When there is a scoring opportunity, why run the tactic? Like the second fool, the Eagles won the three games easily.

……

The Eagles ended the preseason with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses. In terms of record, it is not bad, and it is only a preseason. The team's goal is mainly to run in, winning or losing does not matter.

But the running-in of the Eagles not only made it difficult for those experts and media who have been staring at them to criticize, but also for the Eagles coaching staff themselves, but what is certain is that their biggest signing this time is very different from what they imagined!
On October 10th, after the end of the eight preseason games, it is time for the Eagles to prepare for the final game of the regular season. On October 24th, the regular season opener between the Eagles and the Magic will start at the Eagles' home court.

The remaining few days are the last time for the Eagles to sum up the experience accumulated in the preseason. After that, it will be the real regular season!
During the offseason, the coaching staff formulated a large number of backup tactics, all of which were designed according to the current lineup of the Eagles. Then when it came to training camp, more than half were deleted, and the other half were deleted in the preseason.

It's time for the last five days to prepare for the regular season, and the Eagles' coaching staff suddenly discovered... there are only a few system frameworks left!
