Chapter 1011 1010. The Platinum Generation Ready to Go (Please Subscribe and Vote)

Fans are talking about the championship banner in the Eagles' opening game.

As Liu Mang said, children and young players in many countries around the world have a bigger dream, which is to leave their country's words on the NBA championship banner just like Liu Mang.

The league responded that this is a special tribute from the league to Liu Mang's two finals MVPs. If a non-American wins the finals MVP again in the future, it can be considered to continue.

David Stern did this on a whim. After arranging it, he still had some doubts and worries, but he didn't expect the response to be so good!

Just changing the team logo on the back of the original championship flag to the words of another country can cause such a sensation around the world. It is a complete surprise. Originally, I just wanted to take the opportunity to expand the Chinese market, but I did not expect that it would promote basketball. development of!

The impact on the development of basketball may not be visible in a short period of time, but once such a rule is continued, it will be like a seed that will take root and sprout one day. David Stern can foresee this!

The focus of the media and fans is here, but the focus of the league's teams is different. They are more concerned about the game.

The Eagles made 19 three-pointers in a single game. Just 19 three-pointers are very eye-catching. The key is the way the Eagles play!

The Eagles took 33 three-pointers in the game!

Although the number of three-point attempts in the league has skyrocketed since last season, they threw 33 times in the first game of the season and made 19 more. The Eagles' style of play made many teams feel uncomfortable.

Do the Eagles want to change the theorem that the inside is king?

Many teams have come to this seemingly "deviant" conclusion.

The Eagles' style of play in the first game has become the subject of research by many teams, mainly limited to strong teams and mid-range teams who want to improve their team's strength.

As for the weak teams... let's just focus on how to perform badly. The Italian version of Nowitzki has announced that he will participate in the NBA draft after playing the last season with the Serie A team Twiso Bena.

Without the core of the team, any novel and effective tactical system will be useless.

As for the Eagles, after the first game, they were not overjoyed because they made 19 three-pointers, and the coaching staff did not have the blood to study how to shoot three-pointers to death.

It was just one game. For the Eagles, they just had a good touch and made the ball. It was as simple as following the good touch, picking up the pace, and playing a beautiful offensive game.

The core is still defense. The 76ers took 91 shots and only scored 110 points. In such a fast-paced style of play, the Eagles have done a good job defensively.

After beating the 76ers and getting a good start, the Eagles' regular season officially kicked off.

…

…

Looking at the November schedule, Liu Mang was speechless.

How can I say this schedule is good...

Only 13 games!

Now in his fifth season, Liu Mang, like most players, watches the schedule once a month. In addition to taking note of the focus battles, veteran players usually do not pay attention to the schedule every day. They are usually players whose positions in the team are unstable and young players. New talents will watch the schedule every day to see which game they are most likely to have the opportunity to get more playing time and perform well.

Liu Mang is considered an old player. The training camp is over. After watching the next preseason schedule and the opening game, after the opening game against the 76ers, the coaching staff announced that they would have a day off on the 29th, and there would be training in the afternoon of the 30th and the morning of the 31st. The Eagles had no games in the past two days. The Eagles had only one game at the end of October. After Liu Mang returned home, he took the player manual and looked at the schedule for November. There were 13 games in total. After looking at December, there were only 14 games. Contest.

The schedule at the beginning of this season is too easy!

Liu Mang felt that something was not so good!

Sure enough, when I turned to the schedule in January, there were 18 games, 11 games in February, 17 games in March. The key is that in April, there were only 8 games in 18 days.

The league's schedule is also thoughtful, taking into account the Eagles' record needs and the needs of the Chinese market.

This schedule is very helpful for the Eagles to accumulate records, but those three months in the middle of the season... are simply crazy and cruel!

"That bad old man is so bad! He uses us as coolies!" Liu Mang couldn't help but criticize the CEO.

In fact, the schedule is very good, and it is much more humane than the Rockets' previous schedule. Regarding the Rockets, the league only wanted the Rockets to contribute to the ratings, and did not consider allowing the Rockets to accumulate wins. Opportunity and this kind of record demand.

But people, when they encounter something with two sides, they often notice the bad side first, because people always think that good things are normal and bad things are bad luck.

Now Liu Mang only paid attention to the middle three months, ignoring the perfect opening schedule of only 28 games in two months and four days at the beginning of the season.

At the beginning of November, there were three consecutive home games, Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Wizards.

These three opponents came just in time to let off some steam.

"Ace, which old man do you think is bad?" Alexia squeezed onto the sofa at some point and got next to Liu Mang.

"I'm talking about David Stern, look at the schedule for January, February and March...Hey, Aida, if you don't lie down, my mother will talk to you again." Only then did Liu Mang realize that he had just given birth to a baby. Alexia came closer.

"It's so boring lying down every day! I only gained 20 pounds in more than nine months of pregnancy, and I gained 10 pounds in less than a week after giving birth!" Alexia complained.

"Aren't you looking forward to the confinement period? You'll be treated like a princess, with someone feeding you and helping you to go to the toilet." Liu Mang joked.

"The confinement period is not that fun. I'll get fat like a ball if I keep going like this!" Alexia said, puffing up her lips and pretending to be fat.

It was only in the middle of the night when the two elders fell asleep that Alexia could sneak out and have sex with Liu Mang.

"Okay, call the prenatal education classroom and ask a teacher for postpartum recovery. My mother is the most superstitious about the teacher. She believes everything the teacher says. If the teacher says that you need to exercise properly after giving birth to avoid obesity, my mother will agree to let you come down occasionally to walk around, and you can continue to enjoy the treatment of a princess." Liu Mang thought of a way.

"Really?" Alexia's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, when I was a kid, my mom said she wouldn't give me money to buy something. But as long as the teacher told me to buy something, it's like an imperial edict. Do you understand an imperial edict? ... Uh, you know it, from watching Qing Dynasty dramas? ... Okay, go ahead."

Alexia immediately went to Levia to ask for the phone number of the prenatal education classroom to call the postpartum recovery coach.

The postpartum recovery coach is not only to restore the body, but mainly psychological counseling, etc.

Liu Mang saw Alexia disturbing people's sleep in the middle of the night, and wondered how the prenatal education classroom salesperson who made money felt.

After complaining about David Stern, Liu Mang went back to his room to wash up and go to bed. He had to take the little girl out for a run in the morning.

Since Alexia was pregnant, the two elders didn't often go to watch the game. Levia had to accompany her, and the little girl didn't have much chance to watch the game live. She didn't have much in common with the bodyguard. Christine Wagner was very professional and spoke very little, not to mention chatting about the game with a teenage girl. In Christine Wagner's eyes, the whole world would be against the little girl.

So Liu Mang spent more time with the little girl when he was free, so that the little girl wouldn't feel "abandoned". After all, there was a younger sister, and the older one just had to take care of her emotions.

...

"Ace, you're here." McGrady saw that Liu Mang had arrived on time at 8 o'clock and greeted him.

"Hey, Tracy, you're here so early? It's rare!" Liu Mang smiled.

"I'm going shopping with my wife in the afternoon, and I'll finish the training in the morning." McGrady responded.

"Oh..." Liu Mang understood.

McGrady's training volume has always been small, and the coaching staff has arranged relatively few training sessions for McGrady, because McGrady's physical fitness problems are more prominent.

"Let's practice three-pointers together. It's a bit boring to practice alone." McGrady made an invitation.

"It's too boring to practice three-pointers with you. You always lose to me. It's more interesting to practice with Jason and Keller."

"..." So direct? McGrady felt hurt, but Liu Mang was telling the truth. After a few years, McGrady, who was originally similar to Liu Mang in three-pointers, has fallen behind Liu Mang in this aspect.

However, McGrady is really ready to strengthen three-pointers now. He also feels that the current rules are more and more conducive to scoring from the outside. Not only the rules, but also the league's whistle standards for referees also encourage offense.

Three-pointers are naturally the focus of encouragement. Fans like to watch games with high scores more.

Although there are many fans who like iron-blooded, those fans are not strong and the ratings of iron-blooded play are not good!

Looking at the Suns, they only played a high-scoring performance for one season, and suddenly became the top three teams in the league. In addition to the Hawks and the Lakers, it is the Suns, which are more popular than the Heat and the Cavaliers.

Although he didn't become as reckless as Liu Mang, McGrady wanted to seize more three-point opportunities.

MVP... who doesn't want to get involved?

Seeing McGrady looking aggrieved, Liu Mang said helplessly: "Then let's compete... I use my left hand?"

McGrady covered his chest and felt his heart was hit!

Are you so contemptuous?

I'll torture you to death!

McGrady and Liu Mang warmed up together. After half an hour, some teammates came after the warm-up. The two started a three-point duel under the onlookers.

So...

Ten minutes later, McGrady quietly went to practice three-pointers.

McGrady did win in the 100 shooting duel. He was very serious and focused on adjusting every ball before shooting. He made 89 shots, which was a very outstanding performance. In addition to Liu Mang, only Korver and Calderon of the Hawks could achieve such accuracy in training. Jason Terry's highest hit number in 100 shooting training was only 88.

But Liu Mang scored 82 with his left hand...

Do you have to be so discouraging!

McGrady rarely feels suppressed in terms of talent.

McGrady only thinks Liu Mang's talent is okay in other aspects, but shooting is too discouraging for him!

McGrady can quickly reach the first-class or even top-level level with a casual practice, but if he wants to really reach the top, he needs more practice.

Of course, McGrady can reach the first-class level with a casual practice of a skill, which makes many players who have practiced all their lives but still can't reach the first-class level very envious.

But he is not satisfied now, he is ready to develop slowly to see if he can do something.

…

Although it was a rest day arranged by the team, many players of the Hawks still came to the gym for training.

The season has just started, and everyone is very motivated and has not yet reached the point of fatigue.

Although the league has made the schedule in January, February and March very crazy, November and December gave the Hawks a lot of rest time. In addition to resting and studying the current opponents, the rest time is also a good opportunity to study other opponents that are not currently encountered.

So the Hawks coaching staff is still very satisfied with this arrangement.

There are only three back-to-backs in two months, and some teams have three back-to-backs in a month. For the Hawks, the schedule is already very considerate.

Isn’t the league taking care of the Hawks so much just to let the Hawks boost the ratings in the Chinese market in January, February and March?

There are gains and losses, and the Hawks coaching staff is very open-minded.

After Coach Kruger came to the gym, he saw that except for a few veterans, most of the players came, and even McGrady was practicing three-pointers. He was very satisfied with the enthusiasm of the players.

It is not time to limit the players' training and playing time to recover their physical fitness for the playoffs. The players have been training hard since the beginning of the season, and Coach Kruger likes to see this scene.

…

…

The coaching staff is working hard to study each opponent, and the players are working hard to train. The three-day rest time passed quickly. On November 1, the Cavaliers, who had just finished the first back-to-back game, came to Atlanta, and the Hawks were about to usher in the second game of the new season.

"LeBron, don't you want to take a good rest? We have a game tonight." Liu Mang said and ate a piece of potato cubes mixed with sugar-free salad dressing.

"It doesn't matter, I'm still young, I can play 40 minutes a day." James said and ate.

After James came to Atlanta, he asked Liu Mang out at noon to eat the nutritious meal specially made by the chef he brought.

Liu Mang sighed that James really took care of his body... I don't know how to describe it, anyway, just take the money and throw it in.

However, this specially hired chef is indeed better than the team's chef who only cares about nutrition and health.

"LeBron James, ability rating 94, offense 93, defense 83, three-pointer 78, mid-range shooting 68, layup 95, rebounding 84, passing 85, speed 92, strength 91..."

After looking at James' ability rating, he has made great progress!

James is not good at many things, and he is most good at breakthrough passes and layups. Some of them still rely on rules, but he is all-round! His rebounding is better than some power forwards, his passing is better than some point guards, he has good physical fitness, strong breakthroughs, and a certain three-point ability.

The Cavaliers have played two games, starting with 2 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the East. James averaged 34 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and made 3 of 9 three-pointers in the two key games!

Liu Mang found that this guy's shooting was not as bad as he imagined...Mid-range shots and free throws are eye-catching, but three-pointers were actually okay last season. Although he shot less, his hit rate has always been good, about 32.3%, which is very good in this era.

Not only can he use his body, but his skills are also constantly polished.

Liu Mang felt the threat coming from the 03 generation!

The progress was too fast!

Not only Wade, but James has also reached the time to shake up the league.

Why are the 84, 96, and 03 drafts called the golden generation? Because they all started to stir up the league situation a few years after the draft. Olajuwon in 1984 made it to the finals a few years after entering the NBA. Jordan started to dominate the scoring title in his third year and won the best defensive player. Iverson in the 96 generation also won the scoring title in his third year, and Kobe won three consecutive championships in his fourth year.

The rookies of the 84 and 96 classes immediately threatened the league's hegemony after entering the NBA.

Now the 03 generation, in their third year, has also begun to attack the league's hegemony.

For the 03 generation, people pay attention to the 03 generation's winning, mainly focusing on Wade, while for James, people pay more attention to the data, after all, James has not entered the playoffs.

But this year, James got a lot of good teammates, and the Cavaliers spent money again. Although they didn't spend a lot, at least they had substantial strength reinforcement. They started with two consecutive wins for the first time in five years.

Liu Mang felt the threat from James. This threat made Liu Mang fearful and excited.

The 03 generation now feels like they are going to enter the hall, and the league is also encouraging them to attack the strongest team.

Although the league also supports the Hawks, it will not only support the Hawks. How can a hundred flowers bloom when one flower blooms?

The league has done its best to create a good schedule for the Hawks, but it is also creating a good development environment for the 03 generation of new stars who have shown super strength in the NBA for just two or three years.

For example, the rules, just after the 03 generation played very well in their rookie year, the league changed the rules in the summer of 2004. It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the fact that the two best outside players of the 03 generation are not good at mid-range and long-range shots and need to break through the space.

However, the league will help, and the players have to seize the opportunity themselves.

The 03 generation grasped it. James used the whistle to be invincible in the interior, and Wade used the outside pressure to loosen up and have a better starting space. Both of them played brilliant performances after the start of the new season.

Seeing James, who is just a little bit away from being a superstar, such a third-year player, of course he should be taught a lesson! Liu Mang planned to go back to the stadium after dinner and discuss with his teammates how to deal with this little emperor who has evil intentions and has not yet ascended the throne!

James wanted to sleep when he came to Atlanta, but he habitually came early to say hello to Liu Mang and invited Liu Mang to have dinner together in the restaurant of the hotel where he was staying.

James is really sleepy now. The game ended at 11 o'clock last night. It was more than 3 o'clock when he went to bed. He got up at more than 8 o'clock in the morning to take the 10 o'clock flight to Atlanta. After dinner, he wanted to go to bed and prepare for the game in the evening.

But suddenly I felt a little cold. Why do I feel like I am being stared at by a villain?

The next chapter is about 10 minutes before and after 7 o'clock.
