From today on is the king

Chapter 792. Chapter 791. The second-year player who was targeted

For the preparations for the start of the season, Liu Mang is personally ready, and the team has also prepared as much as possible for the start of the new season, waiting to use the preseason to adjust their tactics.

On October 10th, the Eagles came to Miami, ready to start the first game of the season, the first game of the preseason, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, away to challenge the Heat.

This year, the NBA started the China game plan. For the Eagles where Liu Mang belongs, they are very lucky because they are not scheduled to play in China this season. The first China game is the game between the Rockets and the Lakers. Wang Zhizhi renewed his contract with the Lakers with a one-year 1 million yuan. The Imperial City and the Modu played two preseason games.

For Liu Mang, the absence of the China Games is definitely a good thing for the team, and it will not consume unnecessary physical energy, but it is a bit regretful that he cannot play two NBA games in China for the fans.

But it will be their turn next season, so it's not a big deal.

For the Eagles, there are seven games in total from the 9th to the 23rd. This year’s regular season will start a few days earlier, and the regular season will start on October 10th.

The preseason game between the Hawks and Heat has received a lot of attention.

The Heat are seen as the only team in the East that can really pose a threat to the Hawks.

The Pacers may also be counted. They were already strong and added Stephen Jackson, but the head coach of the Pacers, Carlisle, was overwhelmed by Coach Kruger. He entered the NBA in the same year, and the best coach was snatched by Coach Kruger.

The Nets were swept away by the Hawks last season. Although they supplemented Ratliff, it is not so easy to threaten the Hawks. Liu Mang’s performance in the Olympics was obviously better than last season, and whether Kidd can cooperate well with a defensive center like Ratliff is a big problem.

The Heat are different. The back line composed of Wade and Eddie Jones has a strong defense. One can shoot and the other can shoot. There is O'Neal inside, mainly O'Neal. O'Neal has Duncan as his opponent in the West. In the East, no one inside can compete with him.

……

After arriving at the hotel in Miami, Liu Mang replenished the physical potion. Of course, there was another more important reason, which was to upgrade some skills to the full.

"Speed ​​94, Bounce 92, Strength 81, Stamina 94.

73 left-handed three-pointers, 70 mid-range shots, and 87 layups.

The right hand made 89 three-pointers, 87 mid-range shots, and 92 layups.

Comprehensive ability evaluation 90. "

Looking at my ability evaluation, I was stuck at 89 for three-pointers, and I couldn’t become the second player to break through 90 three-pointers among active players. It’s the same as James’ ability evaluation was already 89 after the Olympic Games, and Liu Mang’s training.

Liu Wei thinks that he can only take his time. Maybe in the game, he will break through when he feels the shooting. Finding a better way to shoot three-pointers is also a kind of three-point ability.

However, Liu Mang practiced a lot of layups in addition to practicing three-pointers. His left and right handed shots were not balanced at all, but his layups became more and more balanced. The effect of hard training is obvious. During the period when he was in his early 20s and learned the fastest skills, hard training paid off.

As he got older and gradually approached the physiological peak period from 24 to 27, Liu Mang's strength gradually increased to 81 during training.

After learning high-level skills with Kobe and spending 5 superstar points to quickly learn, the singles ability in this area has been developed.

There are still 10 superstar points left. During the training with Tracy McGrady, Kobe, James, and Iguodala in September and during the training camp, the hundreds of personal energy potions were almost used up. Liu Mang spent 9 superstar points. Replenishment of common potions is one aspect, and more importantly, he has upgraded a few skills that are not at the full level.

High post skill level 5: In high post singles, if you cheat the opponent's defense and turn around and cut in, your speed will be +5 within two seconds; if you cheat the opponent's defense to shoot, your mid-range shooting ability will be +5.

The effect is outstanding, and it is very useful in singles. Liu Mang already had 87 points in the CIC, and he can reach 92 points in one fell swoop.

Fancy Dunk Level 5: Special effects at the full level. When the counter-slam dunk is unguarded, the bounce, waist and abdomen strength, back strength, and flexibility will be greatly improved. When completing a wonderful dunk, the team's morale will be greatly improved.

Rock Solid Level 5: 50.00% chance to perfectly block the opponent when fighting for defensive rebounds, and 20.00% chance to perfectly block the main opponent when fighting for offensive rebounds.

Now the team may focus on defensive counterattacks, and it is very important to defend the defensive rebounds and advance. The team has Iguodala, McGrady, Jason Terry, and Calderon who may be able to play a role.

The Hot Pot Feast has also been upgraded to level 5. If a small lineup is really formed, Liu Mang feels that his wingspan advantage is still very useful.

It's a pity that the stamina fruit obtained when defeating the OK combination in the first phase of the King's Landing mission only increased by 4 points of stamina.

After upgrading these skills, there are still 27 skill upgrade cards, 272 physical potions, 341 primary injury potions, and [-] superstar points.

In addition to this, there will be a lottery draw for mid-level superstars.

At the beginning of the new season, he can still be so rich, it all depends on winning the championship.

This summer's substantial progress is supported by a bunch of "resources".

……

"Boom..."

Liu Mang slapped the table in front of Wade hard, and asked, "Dwyane, why didn't you come to practice with LeBron in summer?"

When Wade saw the menacing Liu Mang, he knew that he would not invite this guy to dinner, it was too much!
"This guy is attacking me again! But I also have a boss!"

Wade wanted to find O'Neal, but seeing McGrady next to Liu Mang, he was no smaller than the current O'Neal. Behind Liu Mang was a very strong player from the same company, Iguodala, and the scary-looking Rasheed Wallace who just sat down, and Kwame Brown, who used to be a parallel importer but now became a lot of facial paralysis, and there was also a rough-looking rookie behind McGrady... It seems that the big brother will be beaten to death!
There are so many people!Wade was furious in his heart, the big deal... Treat them to a meal to calm down... People who are not so stingy will never be beaten so easily.

"Ace, our manager took us to special training. You know Shaq's weight, and Pat was very dissatisfied, so after the Olympics, I have been training with the team. I also want to train with Tracy, Andre, LeBron, Kobe and Ace, but there is no way, I treat you today!" Wade said sincerely.

"You were dragged to devil training by Pat Riley again? You are so pitiful." Liu Mang sympathized with Wade for a few seconds. It is pitiful to have a general manager like Pat Riley who misuses players as human beings. Then he immediately called the waiter to order and ordered a bunch of expensive things.

Watching Liu Mang pick the most expensive pick, Wade didn't care too much. He is very different from a top pick in the same year and the boss of the players in the company in front of him. In the future, if the salary is cut by 1000 million, the salary will be cut by 1000 million...

However, Liu Mang is full of sympathy for Wade, but one thing is that Wade has not been trained to death like this, and his progress has not been so fast. There is a clear gap between his talent and James. Although James has also practiced hard, he is definitely not as good as Wade was trained by Pat Riley.

Wade was able to have an ability evaluation of 89 before the start of the second-year season, and he has the same strength as James or even a little stronger, which is inseparable from Pat Riley's devil training.

But on O'Neal's side, Liu Mang felt that it was really miserable, as miserable as it could be, and he didn't even bother to come out for dinner. Originally, Wade called O'Neal to come out together.

Liu Mang paid a moment of silence for Wade and O'Neill, and then continued to choose expensive food. As he ate, he saw McGrady looking at Wade from time to time, his eyes squinted with a hint of brightness.

McGrady... Interested in Wade?

Poor guy...

Wade watched the Eagles pick expensive points one by one, and didn't care too much about it. He was the one who agreed to train with Liu Mang at the beginning, and he broke the appointment.

But while he was eating, Wade suddenly felt a sympathetic look, which disappeared in a flash. He didn't know where it came from. He felt that the people around him probably knew the sympathetic look he was "blackmailed" by...

After the dinner invited by Wade, Rasheed Wallace took Kwame Brown to play. It is October, and there is still summer heat on the south coast.

Liu Mang and McGrady took Iguodala and Josh Smith, two rookies, back to the hotel. On the way, Liu Mang asked McGrady: "Tracy, have you found an interesting opponent again?"

"Ace, did you see it?" McGrady smiled. He could guess that Liu Mang might be the one who could see what he was thinking.

"Dwyane is still a second grader..." Liu Mang laughed.

"He's older than you, and stronger than you were in the second grade." McGrady was very interested in James and Wade in his rookie year last season. He even scored eight three-pointers on James' head. When he played against Wade, the team was far inferior to the Heat. There was nothing to fight. He never beat Wade in a game. Now it's different. He wants to get revenge on Wade.

However, these words reached Liu Mang's ears, so disgusting!Liu Mang said unhappily: "Tracey, don't be so direct, I'm also very good in the second grade."

However, the 03 generation has good talent, and Liu Wei is sure. Wade already has a teammate who can make a difference in the playoffs, and maybe he will break through the 90 ability rating and become a top star earlier than James. Liu Wei is full of expectations.

……

By the evening of the second day, the Eagles came to the American Airlines Center for the first game of the preseason.

In the first game or two of the preseason, generally speaking, each team will try to go all out to see what is wrong with the team, especially a newly formed team like the Eagles.

The following games are all used for actual combat tactics, training rookies or role players, and the role of the preseason is probably these.

The arrangement of the coaching staff before the game is obviously towards the goal of winning. Several big insiders are very nervous now, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown, and Mohammed, the insiders have to rely on them to support them, especially for Kwame Brown, don’t put too much pressure on them!But he is also very motivated now. The coaching staff made it very clear that his performance in the preseason, mainly in the first two games of the preseason, is the key to whether he can sit in the starting position in the regular season.

Muhammad can reach the starting position at any time. If Kwame Brown wants to secure the starting position, he has to rely on his own performance.

Liu Mang also hopes that the team will have this kind of healthy competition. Seeing Kwame Brown full of fighting spirit, he is very satisfied.

Kwame Brown's character is the most troublesome for the team. He is really talented. He has gained almost 7 kilograms this year, and his weight has reached 117 kilograms. However, his speed and jumping have basically not changed. He has gained 13 kilograms in two summers. He can still maintain the speed and jumping of the Wizards.

But this guy's personality is relatively weak, and he needs to be pressured, but the pressure can't be too much, and he can't be scolded at every turn, otherwise he will become similar to the Wizards period.

His self-confidence must be slowly cultivated. The 12+8 stats against O'Neal in the finals last season gave him a lot of confidence. That's why the Eagles management sent Ratliff away to help Kwame Brown.

But if he is righted, he can't easily sit in the starting position. He must continue to put pressure on him. The team's bench has Mohamed, who helped the team win 60+ games when he started, is the source of Kwame Brown's pressure.

Because of the difficulty of raising Kwame Brown, Liu Mang thought of a few people, and couldn't help but think: "High school students are trouble..."

At around 40:[-] p.m., Liu Mang led his teammates into the stadium at the American Airlines Center.

Wade was already waiting with his teammates. There was no appearance ceremony in the preseason. Seeing Liu Mang coming in, Wade was full of fighting spirit, but...why did Mao's vest feel cool?Wade didn't see Liu Mang's malice towards him!
