From today on is the king

Chapter 844 843. Possibly the strongest opponent
Liu Mang played 30 minutes, scored 27 points and 3 rebounds, and then clocked out three quarters. After three quarters, he led 81 to 63 by 18 points, and he was not afraid of being reversed, because the opponent did not appear to be reversed at all. McGrady played in the fourth quarter with Jason Terry to stabilize the situation, and Ariza, Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown played.

Garnett played very hard today, but it's a pity that the two star teammates cheated on their own data for next year's big contract.

In terms of salary, Garnett once cheated the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves let Joe Smith sign a yin and yang contract, which led to a miserable four years for the Timberwolves. In the last year, he was pardoned by the league before he had a first-round pick next summer.

But in terms of professional attitude, Garnett has nothing to say. Even though his teammates are so poor this year, Garnett has been working hard on rebounding and defense, but when his teammates are not with him, his defensive system cannot be established. He said that he worked hard on the defensive end, but he could only grab rebounds.

It's just that Garnett met Kwame Brown, who was like a mad dog, and Rasheed Wallace, who was so excited when he met him.

Liu Mang saw the crazy Kwame Brown and Garnett, the rebounding king with an average of 14 rebounds per game. "Crazy", the aliens really exploded like aliens, and the madmen are really crazy. Garnett played so tired for the first time since his rookie season and couldn't win.

Kwame Brown played for 41 minutes and scored 19 points and 19 rebounds against Garnett. In this situation, you know how miserable Garnett has been recently. Two punches are hard to beat with four hands!There are two people in my family who are almost each other's "undercover".

Originally, Garnett played average offensively against Rasheed Wallace, a power forward with a strong defense against shooting. He paid 24 of 8 shots to pay tribute to Los Angeles. He only scored 20 points.

The Hawks have done a good job with Garnett's type of interior restriction.

With fewer and fewer super insiders, the Eagles are very restrained on this new type of insider. Although Garnett entered the NBA early, his type is very suitable for future basketball.

Coach Kruger was naughty. He thought of what Liu Mang had secretly told him before the game. Seeing that Kwame Brown was going to be double 20 soon, he replaced Kwame Brown...

Kwame Brown is also an honest person. Seeing that there were more than two minutes left in the clock, the score was 112 to 92, with a 20-point difference. It seemed normal to be replaced. He never thought that he would be "shame" by the coaching staff. He ended up depressed. He vowed to work harder in the next game against the Mavericks.

In the end, Liu Mang scored 30 points in 27 minutes, McGrady scored 37 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds in 3 minutes, Jason Terry scored 16 points, Kwame Brown doubled 19, and everyone who played under McGrady's offensive organization scored more or less. The Eagles beat the Timberwolves 114 to 99 and won two consecutive victories.

In this game, when Tony Allen faced Sprewell, his physical fitness and defensive talent showed, but his shooting was extremely poor. Ariza showed his shooting talent and good defensive awareness, but he didn't have the natural defensive experience of Tony Allen later on. Moreover, although his shooting talent was good, he was not decisive enough.

They are all kind of regrettable but talented players, which makes it difficult for the Eagles coaching staff to choose.

The record improved to 17 wins and 4 losses, and continued to entangle with the Suns for the first place in the league.

……

……

After playing the Timberwolves, the Eagles came to Dallas the next morning.

Leaving Minneapolis almost early in the morning, it's too cold here.

When flying away from Minneapolis, Liu Mang saw some frozen lakes on the ground when the plane took off, and thought of the unbearable wet cold.

From the weather here, Liu Mang knew why no star was willing to come here. There was Kassel and Sprewell joining, and they all treated them like treasures.

That being the case, Liu Mang hopes that it will be more difficult for Garnett... Anyway, it is so miserable, it doesn't matter how miserable it is.

Liu Mang didn't feel any guilt at all for stealing Garnett's MVP. This was helping Garnett feel hopeless about this place!It would be better to come to Atlanta...

As the saying goes, when the sky is about to cast a big responsibility on the people, you must first work hard... But thinking about the chance to partner with Garnett, Liu Mang still feels a little shuddering. It would be a bit miserable to be a teammate with such a paranoid guy like Kobe Bryant... But the team will not be lacking in fighting spirit.

But letting Garnett go to the Celtics is not a good choice. The Big Three of the Celtics are still quite scary, all of them are in their 30s, and they can still be so powerful.

At that time, it would be good to think of a way to trip them up.

……

After flying for a few hours, I arrived in Dallas. Compared with Minneapolis, Dallas, the third largest city in Texas in the Southwest Division, is much warmer, and the snow season has not yet arrived.

This season, the Eagles did not have a three-game streak from Texas. It is really lucky. The top three in Texas are getting stronger and stronger. The main reason is that the Rockets are about to catch up. They are only short of a core guard, but they are also very good.

In previous years, when Liu Mang came to Dallas, Nash would pick him up when he arrived at the hotel to go shopping and feel the exotic St. Paul Street in Nash’s view. There is a settlement of Brazilian and Mexican people in Dallas, which is not at all different from North American culture. There is also a Dallas Cowboys game, and Nash also took Liu Mang to see it.

But this time the Mavericks did not have such friendly people to play with Liu Mang.

The world is always changing, Liu Mang came here, completely different from the past.

After giving up Nash, especially after playing for a month and a half in the regular season, the Mavericks have a new nickname called "Blind Horse Boy", which is the nickname given to the Mavericks by American sports fans.

Although due to other live broadcast arrangements, the Suns had few additional broadcasts before the All-Star Weekend, but Nash has already become popular. In the popularity survey in early December, Nash’s popularity has climbed to No.12 among western guards, second only to Kobe and Francis, surpassing Ginobili, Michael Finley, and Ray Allen.

But this time Liu Mang didn't have time to go out to play. He came to Dallas early in the morning, and the most important thing was the training in the afternoon.

For the Mavericks, the Eagles attach great importance to it.

It should be said that for the top four in the Western Conference, the Suns, Supersonics, Spurs, Mavericks, and the Eagles all attach great importance to it.

As far as the current situation looks, none of the top four teams in the Western Conference can be ignored.

The Rising Sun, the Spurs and the Mavericks are still outstanding. After the Sonics got a core point guard, they have a strong advantage in offensive firepower. Francis and Ray Allen both entered the top ten of the MVP rankings.

When the OK combination disintegrated, the West became a situation of separatism. Unlike the Eagles in the East who were still regarded as the first candidate for the Finals, it seemed that all four teams in the West were possible.

And Liu Mang paid more attention to the Mavericks. In 2006, the Mavericks reached the finals, and Liu Mang was very impressed.

The Mavericks have too many stars. Except for the rookie DJ Mbenga, the third-year Dan Dickau, and the legendary Russian Yao Ming Pavel Podkolkin, the 12-man active roster is all famous stars!

The Mavericks' unlimited singles tactics are getting better and better.

The tactics against the Mavericks need to be adjusted. The strategy against the Mavericks can no longer be pinched. The opponents except the center have the ability to score independently. So I arrived in Dallas on the morning of the 12th and took a break at noon. In the afternoon, the Eagles came to the rented university arena and started tactical training.

The Eagles are getting more and more experienced in switching between small-ball tactics and down-field battles. Playing against a team like the Mavericks with a balanced offense and defense is the best way to counterattack. Controlling the rhythm when they can’t counterattack is also very important for the Eagles. This is what I have been practicing recently. Seeking trades is a way to solve the current team’s problems. Solving the problem from itself is also very important.

After the tactical training, Liu Mang called McGrady, Jason Terry, Calderon, and Rasheed Wallace, teammates with good mid-range shots, together to practice mid-range shots.

"Ace, do you want to use the mid-range shot to deal with the Mavericks? Don't you always advocate three-pointers and offense at the basket?" McGrady asked curiously, because Liu Mang advocated the role of players in many tactical meetings. The key to the small ball play that Liu Mang first proposed to coach Kruger was the three-pointer and hitting the basket.

"Playing against the Mavericks is different. Their head coach, Avery Johnson, has learned coaching from Popovich. The coach also said just now that we should try our best to use the running position to tear apart the opponent's defense, but I think it is difficult. Tracy, you have seen the Mavericks' video. Their outside defense rotates very quickly, and their inside defense is also very good. Maybe we need more one-on-one singles. Mid-range is a good solution. team defense." Liu Mang spoke out how Wade dealt with the Mavericks in the 2006 Finals in his memory.

Although there was such a thing as a body whistle in the finals that year, Wade averaged 34 points per game and scored 12 free throws. Wade's free throws have always been average, with a shooting percentage in the early 22s, that is, [-] points were scored by independent offense.

The biggest help of the body whistle to Wade is not to help him cause the opponent to foul, but to make the opponent dare not use big moves to defend against him. If the flanking movement is slightly larger, he will be called a foul, so that Wade can continue to play singles in the middle distance and have good space to distribute the ball. The strongest Wade is when the mid-range shot is the strongest.

The Mavericks’ mid-range defense is the same as the Spurs’. Kobe’s 62 points in three quarters is a good example. It was also the key to Wade finding a way to deal with the Mavericks after receiving Kobe’s call in the last four games of the finals. Who made their head coach belong to the Spurs?

Liu Mang has been practicing mid-range shots all the time, just to deal with the Spurs and Mavericks in the past two years.

Playing against the Mavericks now, you can try the results of training. Liu Mang's mid-range shooting ability evaluation of 88 on his right hand is not far behind the top mid-range shooting ability of 90.

It would be the best if you can improve your mid-range shooting to 90 before the start of the playoffs, mainly to 89, because at the end of the season, if you maintain the highest individual score in the league this season, the extended task reward of the scoring king will strengthen your all-round shooting ability by 1 point, and you can go straight to 90 and reach the top level of mid-range shooting. Whether it is against the Pistons, Heat, Spurs, or Mavericks in the playoffs, you will have greater confidence in winning.

Speaking of which, there are four finalists in the West, but Liu Mang's opponent in the finals is either the Spurs or the Mavericks, and the CIC is the killer.

McGrady still wanted to ask something, Jason Terry said: "Okay, hurry up and practice more, 250 mid-range shots, right, and make sure to make 60 shots out of 50 shots at each point? If you fail, you have to do it all over again? It will take a long time. Let's practice quickly. Dirk invited me to dinner in the afternoon. Linde, help me serve."

Jason Terry called his special trainer to find a half court and began to practice catch and shoot in five positions.

Jason Terry didn't have so many questions to ask, and neither Rasheed Wallace nor Calderon had any objections. If Liu Mang asked him to practice, they would practice.

Could what Liu Mang said be wrong?The championship ring is the best proof that the old Eagles' trust in Liu Mang is blind.

McGrady is so speechless, he just wants to know the reason!As for rolling the eyes?

This group of people has no urge to pursue the truth at all?
However, McGrady felt that what Liu Mang said was indeed reasonable. The offensive and defensive tactics arranged by the coach were in place, but the specific style of play still needed to be controlled by the players themselves.

McGrady's mid-range shot is also very good, with a mid-range shot rating of 91, but his shortcoming is that he shoots very casually, and he often throws it as he says.

McGrady's overall mid-range shooting percentage has always been above 40.00%, especially long two-pointers. His career so far has a [-]% shooting percentage of [-]%, but after coming to the Eagles, the number of shots has decreased, but his efficiency has always been very good.

After all, he is a player with a single-season efficiency in the 02-03 season, that is, a PER value of 30+, and his all-round offensive skills are very good.

Then, Liu Mang saw a hateful guy with an ability rating of 98, tied for first place in the league with Duncan and Garnett, who completed the training the fastest...
