From today on is the king

Chapter 795 794. The big list is confirmed (seeking a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Six fouls left in the preseason, which is too rare, but on the first day of the preseason, in 9 preseason games, eight players left the field with six fouls, and all of them were outside players, and all of them were the team's best perimeter defense.

Wade is one of them.

In the game between the Eagles and the Heat, Liu Mang caused Wade to foul four times by himself. Wade didn’t know how to play after that, so he could only try to adapt to the new rules. But in that way, it would be too difficult to limit Liu Mang’s speed and shooting. If he is tall enough, he can make contact with his chest and waist like McGrady.

But Wade is as tall as Liu Mang. Liu Mang's wingspan has an advantage. He was used to the defensive style of pulling and pulling. Now Wade can't defend at all for a while.

Since it was a preseason game, he didn't care about winning or losing. After Van Gundy discovered this problem, he asked Wade to adapt to the new rules on the court.

At halftime, relying on Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady's scoring, the Hawks had already led 49 to 37 by 12 points.

After Jason Terry came up in the third quarter, Wade was quickly sent off with six fouls.

On the contrary, McGrady, who started his career as a defender, and Prince, who has a higher defensive talent and a similar body shape, worked together to study the new rules.

McGrady made a big splash here, teaming up with Kwame Brown or Rasheed Wallace to defend Wade to 15 of 4 in three quarters and only scored 11 points, while he scored 13 points in a relatively easy half.

Liu Mang teamed up with McGrady to bully Wade, scoring 9 points on 5 of 20 shots.

On Prince's side, it seems that the statistics are not impressive, but when Eddie Jones was on the court, he didn't have the chance to catch the ball most of the time.

This is the characteristic of Prince. The All-Stars will never favor him, and he doesn't care about statistics, he is responsible for defense.

Liu Mang's defense on the outside is easier now. Except for double-teaming, he doesn't have to think too much about the defensive end. He can put all his thoughts on the offensive end and prepare more offensive options in advance.

Although McGrady can't put too much pressure on O'Neal like Raheem, but he can also do what Raheem can't do, he can prevent and control defenders!

And the Heat are not the Lakers. Without Ma Long and Wang Zhizhi, Brian Grant was used to replace O'Neal. The power forwards are Haslem and Malik Allen. These two have mid-range shots, but compared with Malone and Wang Zhizhi.

Van Gundy's idea is very good, let Wade adapt to the current rules, but his on-the-spot response is too bad, plus it is a preseason game, he has not made enough preparations, and cannot give a particularly good response method. Even if O'Neal easily scored 16 points and 6 rebounds in the half, he could not save the defeat.

After Wade got six fouls off the court by Jason Terry, who was getting more and more chicken thieves, the Heat surrendered.

The Eagles have started to adapt the play style of veterans leading newcomers. It is not too unexpected. Among the players in the first and second grades, the best performers are Calderon, Iguodala and Varejao.

Calderon, who has studied with Stockton for more than a year, received special training from Stockton in the summer. How to use relatively mediocre physical fitness to adapt to the confrontation given by the world's top outsiders with relatively mediocre physical fitness.

However, Calderon is a little better than when he entered the NBA in the 05-06 season. He has studied with Stockton for more than a year and has a better passing awareness.

Just confrontation is not enough, and the lack of experience in the NBA, it may take some time to really secure the position of the main substitute.

But with Iguodala, there is no problem. Top-notch confrontation and passing awareness are not as good as Calderon, but he is very good among swingmen. He scored 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 4 minutes of his first appearance. Although it is a preseason game, his strength and talent are visible to the naked eye. The most important thing is defense!Awareness is great!

In the first preseason game, the Eagles easily won 98 to 87.

……

After playing against the Heat, I saw that Liu Mang and McGrady have done a good job in distributing the ball, especially McGrady. There is no dissatisfaction with Liu Mang's concentration of the ball, because Liu Mang is good at that, Coach Kruger breathed a sigh of relief.

Although coach Kruger and McGrady have talked many times before, McGrady made it clear many times that he came here because he wanted to win. He has already got the data and doesn't care about these things.

But even if McGrady said so, Coach Kruger was still worried, but seeing that during the game, if Liu Mang asked for the ball, McGrady would give it to him, Coach Kruger was a little relieved.

In fact, this can be seen from McGrady’s time in the Rockets. After he was originally traded to the Rockets, his shot rights have gradually declined. He even averaged 6.5 assists per game, a career high. When he was private, he played 25 games that year and scored 06 wins and 07 losses. But after that, both of them were seriously injured. After returning, Yao Ming declined compared to before the serious injury. McGrady himself also began to decline, and started to be alone again.

The most important thing is that McGrady didn't feel that he had a chance to win the championship in the Rockets. He said after being eliminated in the first round for the first time that they were far away from the championship. They just wanted to win once in the playoffs, but they couldn't do it in the end.

McGrady now has Liu Mang with an ability rating of 90, Prince with an ability rating of 80, Rasheed Wallace with an ability rating of 89, and Kwame Brown with an ability rating of 81. He also has a first-class starting teammate with an ability rating of 86. The bench has unlimited potential. Let him destroy the good atmosphere of the team inherited from last season.

McGrady, a player who is regarded as an "unstable factor" by the team and fans, is not unstable. Instead, he uses his teammates to open up space, play efficient performances, and is willing to pass the ball. Coach Kruger is relieved.

On October 10th, when he returned to play against the Bobcats at home, coach Kruger let Liu Mang take a rest. The whole team was still accommodating Liu Mang's style of play, so he didn't need to adjust too much. Tony Allen and McGrady partnered in the backcourt, and Iguodala, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown partnered in the frontcourt, and began to adapt to various combinations.

After his teammates weakened a lot, McGrady, who is the core of ball control, also learned to play without holding the ball, and this group of people, including Tony Allen, are all very physical.

Without Liu Mang and Jason Terry, counterattack and hit the basket.

The most amazing thing in this game is Josh Smith. Among the point guards, he can be regarded as a top-notch speed, with explosive jumping. Every time he is defended, even at his own basket, he can run to the frontcourt as one of the fastest players and receive a pass from Tracy McGrady or Iguodala.

Of course, the premise has to be defended. Lack of experience is the problem of this lineup. Except for McGrady and Kwame Brown, everyone else has good defensive talent and physical fitness, but the experience is too poor, and the perimeter defense becomes very difficult.

When only Tracy McGrady and Kwame Brown are left in the main lineup, the game is really ugly. Of course, the Bobcats also played ugly. Except for Brian Knight and Jason Hart, the Bobcats can send the ball to Okafor.

McGrady led a group of substitutes and was still running in. On the contrary, Jason Terry went up, took it and did it, and the point difference was opened up at once. After all, he is the sixth man...

In the next preseason, besides trying out the lineup, Liu Mang let McGrady and a few rookies adapt to the team's style of play. Calderon also got a lot of playing time. After seven games, Calderon averaged 6.7 points and 4.4 assists per game.
Liu Mang never thought that Calderon played so well, mainly because the turnover rate was too low, with 4.4 assists and only 1 turnover per game, which exceeded the assist-to-turnover ratio of 4 to 1, which made Liu Mang very sad. He himself averaged 2.6 assists per game last season, with [-] turnovers.

McGrady is definitely not a new player. The performance of the five rookies, even if Iguodala's ability evaluation is so high, the ability evaluation of 73 After the 21st century, most years are the initial ability evaluation of the top three picks, but their performance is not as good as that of Calderon.

One more year of NBA experience is still very different. Calderon is more aware of his position, knowing that he only needs to play to his strongest aspects, and not to do what he is not good at.

This is what Stockton educated Calderon. Calderon is a core guard in the Spanish team, but in the NBA, it is impossible to have that kind of treatment. Stockton asked Calderon to see how Liu Mang played as a rookie. Calderon saw that Liu Mang could only score at that time and focused on scoring.

Being taught is very different, and Calderon quickly won the favor of Coach Kruger.

……

After six preseason games played with the substitutes, Tracy McGrady has become more in-depth in understanding the team and has become more comfortable in organizing offenses. The Eagles' run-in is also getting better and better.

Mainly the coaching staff and the players have an understanding of the adaptation of the team members to the NBA.

After the preseason, the Eagles’ starting lineup was completely determined. Kwame Brown secured his starting position by relying on his performance of averaging 14 points and 11 rebounds per game without occupying the ball in the preseason. In the regular season, his scoring will inevitably decline, but the rebounds may be higher. Without Raheem, he needs to contribute more to interior defense and rebounding.

McGrady is still better at playing shooting guard, and has an obvious height advantage, which is a very important advantage in the shooting guard position. Prince returns to the small forward position, and Rasheed Wallace starts at power forward.

In terms of substitutes, Jason Terry is the first substitute. Iguodala and Muhammad are both the main inside and outside substitutes.

Tony Allen, Ariza and Kevin Willis were placed on the inactive list. Josh Smith and Varejao became bench players with Korver because they were insiders, so they had a chance to play.

Tony Allen and Ariza's three-pointers still have to be practiced.

The preseason game ended on the 23rd. From the 24th to the 26th, the Eagles coaching staff conducted targeted training and arranged long-term training plans for the players on the 12-man roster. There were too many rookies, and new trainers were hired. This year, the Eagles spent more money on logistics reserves than before. After two years of Liu Mang’s suggestion, Thomas Carter, the head of the medical team of NASA, was successfully invited to serve as the team’s medical consultant. , When the team has players injured, it can have better medical protection.

The hospital that the Eagles cooperate with is very good, and the Eagles team doctor is also good, but just to be on the safe side, Price still invited Thomas Carter to serve as the team's medical consultant.

The medical treatment of the NBA team is mainly divided into two parts, the team doctor and the cooperative hospital.

But there are also those like the Suns, who have a team doctor and a cooperative hospital, but still need to find a chief surgeon and medical consultant.

The Suns had cooperated with NASA very early on, so Thomas Carter, the head of NASA's medical team, became the chief surgeon of the Suns. The Eagles were able to hire someone as a consultant. Price spent a lot of thought...and money. Liu Mang recommended it for two years before reaching a cooperation with Thomas Carter.

Tony Allen and Trevor Ariza may be sent to NBDL to practice more. After everything is arranged properly, the Eagles will officially enter the regular season.

……

……

After the team announced the active lineup list for the first game of the regular season on October 10, Liu Mang felt that Tony Allen and Trevor Ariza did not make the active list, and that each of them lost the emotion they had before.

Now the new teammates, it is difficult to have the feeling of fighting together and fighting the world together.

Now, it's more about the urgency to "defend the country".

On October 10th, the Eagles had a day off to prepare for the opening game on the 27th.

This year's opening game is different from the past. The team distributed a lot of tickets to each player, and also sent a lot of tickets to the city hall, the state government, and local celebrities and celebrities in Atlanta. The reason is very simple. It's time to distribute the championship rings for the 2003-2004 season!
The hoisting of the championship flag and the distribution of championship rings are the biggest things at the beginning of the new season.

Players can invite their relatives and friends to help out. Officials from Atlanta and Georgia, as well as local university celebrities, social celebrities, and stars will all come to join in the fun.

Liu Mang gave a few tickets to Dinah to go to the students to pretend to be aggressive. The front row tickets for the Eagles' opening game this time can't be bought, and almost all of them are used to give away.

The remaining tickets were given to Alexia and Levia.

After going to the team to get the tickets in the morning, he went home to finish dealing with the tickets. Liu Mang and Jason Terry went to get together with Raheem who had just returned to Atlanta. The Eagles opened against the Magic.

McGrady VS Raheem, when Liu Mang first saw the schedule, he knew that the league wanted to make trouble again.
