Chapter 1113 1112. It’s Here! It’s Finally Here! (Third Update, Please Vote~)

"Coach, why didn't you tell me about Jimmy's big incident?" Liu Mang complained dissatisfiedly.

"Our team's goal now is to win the game. Why should we care about that ignorant kid?" Coach Kruger snorted coldly.

Tsk, words don't match heart! If you don't care about Jimmy, why do you specially ask him to come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Chinese New Year? Although they may not understand what New Year's greetings mean.

Liu Mang rolled his eyes. He didn't notice this matter before. After knowing it today, he came to the gym to ask several assistants first, and then learned that when Jimmy's fight happened a few days ago and Jimmy hadn't returned to Atlanta, Coach Kruger began to use his connections to help Jimmy find a suitable high school. Even Stockton, Mike Woodson, Moron Willie and others have consulted their good high school coaches, wanting to help Jimmy choose a more suitable high school.

Watching Liu Mang go to practice shooting again, Coach Kruger was very emotional. Jimmy usually listens to him, but in this matter, he is as stubborn as a cow. But he just talked to Liu Mang and took the initiative to admit his mistake when he returned.

Liu Mang may not know it, but as a coach, Coach Kruger knows that Liu Mang has excellent leadership skills and a different temperament from Kobe, Jordan, Duncan, and O'Neal.

A very special temperament, so special that people want to fight him but also want to follow him.

…

Everyone had fun yesterday, and today they became the strongest opponent.

At this stage, whether it is Liu Mang, his teammates, or coaches, they all feel that the Spurs are the strongest opponent.

The Lakers and the Heat are a little worse.

Although Liu Mang remembered that the Spurs were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs in 2006, Liu Mang still attaches great importance to it.

Because in the 2006 playoffs, the Spurs were eliminated by the Mavericks 3-4 in the second round. In the crucial fifth game, Ginobili committed a suicide foul and lost the game. Otherwise, it might not be the Mavericks who made it to the finals.

Moreover, in this time and space, the Spurs did not win the championship in 2005. The Spurs are likely not to have their habitual weakness after each championship. The minimum salary gambling signing of Sprewell also played an unexpected role. After Ginobili went to the bench, Sprewell averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Ginobili played as the sixth man and averaged 18.8 points per game, a career high. He became the Spurs' scoring leader and became the favorite for the best sixth man.

This season's best sixth man is a fierce competition. Halfway through the season, there are as many as ten players who are eligible to win the best sixth man!

For every three teams, there is a candidate who can win the best sixth man.

Because of Liu Mang, Jason Terry started to play as a substitute in advance, which inspired many strong teams. Popovich is one of them. He gambled to get Sprewell, signed Michael Finley, who was cut by the Mavericks, to play small forward, and let Ginobili play a position similar to Jason Terry, and then succeeded!

In addition, Duncan also has a reliable inside substitute. Liu Mang's old teammate Muhammad has played every game for the Spurs, averaging 17 minutes per game, averaging 6 points and 7 rebounds per game, playing at the peak efficiency of the 01-02 and 02-03 seasons. In November, he renewed his current contract with the Spurs for a 5-year, 33 million contract, which allows Muhammad to play and contribute to the Spurs with more confidence. The Spurs renewed their contract with Muhammad to make the team more stable.

There is also the addition of Nick Van Exel. Although Duncan has played the worst performance of his career so far, the Spurs are even stronger than last season.

The record of 33 wins and 9 losses is also the best record in the history of the Spurs, breaking the 30 wins and 10 losses of the Spurs in the 94-95 season. From all aspects, Liu Mang feels that the Spurs this season are stronger than last season!

Duncan's performance was the worst in his career, and he averaged 17 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks per game. The key is that he played only 33 minutes per game. Plantar fasciitis did not affect Duncan's efficiency, but his physical fitness and lateral movement. In addition, Duncan averaged 2.4 turnovers and 2.5 fouls per game. He rarely made mistakes on the court. His mid-range shots had a career-high 41.9% overall hit rate from outside the three-second zone to inside the three-point line.

The key is that Duncan's number of backgrounds has decreased this season.

Liu Mang knew very well that as long as Duncan's plantar fasciitis was cured, he would be the strongest background emperor again.

There are only two teams in the league that have lost less than ten games, which are stronger than the Suns last season. The Hawks coaching staff spent an hour of meeting time to analyze the Spurs' tactics based on the Spurs' stronger performance than last season.

When playing against other teams, the Hawks may relax from top to bottom or from bottom to top, and even if they relax, the probability of winning is very high, but the Hawks players dare not be careless against those strong opponents.

Especially the Spurs. The Hawks players did not feel such great pressure when playing against the Lakers and the Heat, but this time, starting with Liu Mang and the whole team, they all felt a great threat!

…

…

"Ace, are you going back to pick up Levia and the others to watch the game?" McGrady asked Liu Mang.

"Yes, I'll take a nap and pick them up at 3:40." Liu Mang said, covering himself with a blanket and setting the alarm.

After lunch, they rested until 1:30, and the Hawks players started tactical training after warming up.

The Eagles' schedule this month is too tight. They have four consecutive home games during this period, which is considered the easiest schedule in January. They still play every other day. Even if there was no Liu Mang party yesterday, the Eagles coaching staff did not arrange a training plan. The physical exertion is too serious.

In the afternoon, I practiced every tactic against the Spurs. Fortunately, the Hawks' current lineup has a good tacit understanding and they can go through the tactics once. After the 50-minute tactical training, the coaching staff let the players rest. Dinner time at 5 o'clock and 6 o'clock. Start getting ready for tonight's game at half past eight.

After finishing his warm-up at three o'clock, Liu Mang was about to take a half-hour nap and then go back to pick up his parents, three girls, two children, bodyguards and servants, when the system prompt came.

"Ding... The third phase of the King's Landing series of missions: The Founder of the Era is triggered."

"Because the host has become the first player in NBA history with a three-point ability rating exceeding 95, and has the opportunity to break the Bulls' record of the lowest number of losses in the first five games of the All-Star Weekend, the third phase of the Reign Series series mission: The Pioneer of an Era trigger."

"Era Pioneer: Goal 1: The hosts need to remain undefeated before the All-Star break and win 11 consecutive games. Goal 2: The hosts need to cause Manu Ginobili at least three offensive fouls in the game against the Spurs. Or Manu Ginobili's shooting foul on the host. Goal 3: The host must make at least 8 three-pointers in a single game against the Spurs. Mission reward: Stephen Curry Splash Brothers Star. Card. Failure penalty: Failure of any target, failure of the mission.”

There was no precaution, no worry, the mission came too suddenly!

Curry's Splash Brothers version of the star card!

Four years ago, in November 2001, Liu Mang used the Splash Brothers version of Thompson's star card, and this time he finally got Curry's star card!

"Stephen Curry 2015-2016 version, 100% fit, ability evaluation 95, offense 98, defense 77, three-pointer 99, mid-range shot 93, layup 91, speed 92, strength 79...talent skills..."

What a surprise!

Liu Mang suddenly felt no sleepiness at all!

Suddenly this task came!

Originally, Liu Mang felt that experiencing Ray Allen's three-pointer was enough, because he would not have the opportunity to play against a better three-pointer in the next few years. If he wanted to get a star card from a player with a stronger three-pointer, he would spend the next seven years Eight years is unlikely.

I didn’t expect that in this mission of the pioneering era of the King’s Landing mission, I could actually get Stephen Curry’s star card!

It's because Popovich is the head coach who hates three-pointers the most in the world, so putting eight three-pointers on his head, the "dividing line" that distinguishes super shooters from ordinary shooters, made Popovich start to pay attention to three-pointers. point?

But will this make the Spurs system come earlier and faster? The future Popovich will be a model of reusing 3D players!

This made Liu Mang feel a little worried and looking forward to it.

Liu Mang's current goal is to win three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty, but what about after establishing a dynasty?

Of course, he wanted to fight more powerful opponents and defeat them, otherwise he felt that he might have the same feeling of being alone and seeking defeat after Jordan's first three consecutive championships, and would have no interest in the current league.

There must be a stronger opponent.

Of course, because of Liu Mang's strength, his opponents were forced to push themselves to become stronger and to choose better places to display their strength.

Maddie saw Liu Mang's smiling and worried expression on his face as if he was going crazy, so he patted Liu Mang several times.

Only then did Liu Mang react and asked, "Tracy? What are you doing?"

McGrady was speechless. This guy would make mistakes from time to time and said, "I said, take me with you when you go back, and I will also pick up my wife."

"Why don't you pick it up yourself?" Liu Mang asked strangely.

"I came here in Jason's car today. I didn't drive. I forgot to refuel."

"..."

…

…

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon here in Atlanta, over there in China, the morning news started broadcasting.

On the first day of the new year, many TV stations have been rebroadcasting the Spring Festival Gala non-stop since early in the morning, while the Chaoting Sports Channel and the International Channel have started to warm up for the game between the Eagles and the Spurs.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many places don’t pay New Year greetings and stay at home, so I get up early to watch the Spring Festival match between the Eagles and the Spurs.

On Liu Mang's side, he went home, drove a car with Levia and Alexia each, picked up his family and McGrady's family at the arena, and started warming up.

Liu Mang is more excited now than during the afternoon training.

Stephen Curry’s Splash Brothers edition star card!

Liu Mang didn't know whether Curry's Splash Brothers version of the three-pointer was more powerful, or the later Tsunami Brothers version of Curry's three-pointer, because with the cosmic courage after Durant, he could not fully combine the three historical three-point shooting abilities. All fully realized.

However, in the 2018-2019 season, Liu Mang remembered that Curry's three-point shooting per game was more accurate than in the 15-16 season, but Durant was already there at that time, and the space was wider, so it was really hard to compare.

Curry entered the NBA relatively late. He was 28 years old in the 15-16 season, which should be his peak. He was 31 years old in the 18-19 season. As a pitcher, his peak period is long, or he may be at his peak. It is not that easy to compare.

But... this makes no difference to Liu Mang!

It is certain that whether it is the 15-16 season or the 18-19 season, Curry's three-pointers are better than Liu Mang's current three-pointers, and that is called a real waste!

Liu Mang wants to be more rebellious! So he must get this star card to make himself more rebellious!
