Chapter 113
The resilience of the unexpected Nuggets is better than expected!
After three rounds, the point difference suddenly returned to 5 points!
Coach Kruger immediately called a timeout.
"Ace, what are you doing, don't think about solving it alone, but cooperate with your teammates!" Coach Kruger gave Liu Mang a rare serious look.
Coach Kruger won't care if he can make a shot, but if he doesn't make a shot, it's a mistake!
Recently, coach Kruger found that Liu Mang was obviously starting to be too egotistical, and he was a little drifting.
The few games when Liu Mang floated up just happened to be pretty good. At this time, coach Kruger could not dampen Liu Mang's self-confidence, but today Liu Mang saw that his opponent was weak, so he wanted to rely on his own personal ability to make strong shots.
But Liu Mang's personal ability is not yet to the point where he can easily score with his strong play, and his ability value after triggering the bench gangster is only 68. When a team like the Nuggets doesn't care about the defensive center of gravity, who holds the ball Just defend anyone. When the team’s two big stars can’t hold back the defense, Liu Mang should give the ball to the stars more. They have excellent singles opportunities. At this time, if Liu Mang insists on going his own way, he will still play singles. Nine will become a pit, he forgot that he is just a rookie who enjoys the deterrence of the team's two 20+ scorers.
A good coach is very good at judging the situation. A coach who can lead a top 64 team in the NCAA is usually a good coach. It’s just a question of whether he can be suitable for coaching a professional league where stars are the first. For example, a college coach coaching a dream team is often more effective than an NBA coach. The head coach is a good illustration of this problem.
At the same time, college coaches are relatively strict, and will point out their mistakes bluntly. If the record is good, the stars have nothing to say. If the record is worse, it is likely to have conflicts with the players.
But Liu Mang is not a star, just a small substitute, coach Kruger brought the small substitute who grew up, and he suddenly woke up.
I am a little drifting!
My mentality is not stable, I always want to get good data quickly, get more superstar points quickly, and gradually mess up what I should do.
After being reprimanded by Coach Kruger, Liu Mang calmed down.
Everything has to be resigned, and you have to act according to the actual situation. Some things can’t be rushed. For example, when I first played in the NBA, I obviously didn’t have too many desires and extravagances. Instead, I walked down step by step. Now with The skills have been upgraded one by one, but it is his mentality that has a problem first.
Before the last game, Liu Mang planned to accumulate 3,000 superstar points in 4 games to draw a lottery, but one achievement reward made him mess up, and he began to long to become a big fat man with one bite.
Seeing Liu Mang thoughtful, Coach Kruger felt much more at ease. This brat can't boast about anything else, but it's good to accept this humbly.
Coach Kruger doesn't know that a student who has been studying in China for 20 years since he was two or three years old is basically like this...
...
...
After the timeout, Liu Mang was not replaced and continued to play. His partners were Emmanuel, Kukoc, Newbell, and Mohammed.
Jason Terry was replaced, but coach Kruger arranged another pitcher to open the space and create better playmaking opportunities for Liu Mang.
It’s all about scolding, but coach Kruger still regards this game as an opportunity for Liu Mang to practice. There are not many opponents who can easily open the gap in the first round. He hopes that Liu Mang can seize the opportunity and play a good performance Accumulate more experience in controlling the team's offense.
The Nuggets have more casual substitutions. Former Heat star Bug Tim Hardaway, backup shooting guard George McLeod, third-year defensive champion James Posey, Juwan Howard, giant Big white soft Riff - LaFrentz.
Liu Mang calmed down to receive the serve and pushed forward. The defender was Tim Hardaway.
"Tim Hardaway, ability value 74, offense 77, defense 70, speed 93, strength 67..."
In the 1990s, there were two Hardaways who shined in the league at the point guard position. Both of them were All-Stars. One, even Stockton, the historical assist king, couldn't grab a team from them in those years, and the point guard position was taken by the two for a team in those years.
As for the position of another guard, and why one of the positions of the guards of the best team is said to be a point guard, it is because everyone knows that the other position of the guard does not need to consider others at all. Jordan dominated those years, Stowe Ketton could only grab a first-team position in the two years when Jordan retired. When Jordan retired for the second time, Stockton was also old.
The two Hardaways have their own characteristics. The Magic's Hardaway, who is regarded as an idol by McGrady, is versatile and elegant, averaging 20+5+5 per game.
And Tim Hardaway dominated the point guard position in scoring and assists, and was unexpectedly good on the defensive end. He averaged 22+10+2 per game almost every year in the early part of his career in the Warriors. That 10 was assists, 2 It was a steal. At that time, the Warriors also had top-notch scorers Chris Mullin and Madman Sprewell. While feeding the two, Tim Hardaway averaged 22 points per game, leading the Warriors to the highest In a good year, he won 55 wins, but unfortunately he fell at the feet of the Trail Blazers led by the glider, and missed the finals against Jordan. The second time with 53 wins, he fell at the feet of the sixth dream in the Western Conference. A Hardaway team up for the Finals.
Probably because Hardaway’s life was not good. After that, Hardaway started to wander around, and then regained his foothold in the Heat, and returned to the league’s first record in the lockout season, but unfortunately, he was blacked out by the Knicks...
The characteristic of Tim Hardaway is fast! He is different from many short players with fast feet. He returns fast, but he doesn’t bounce, so when he gets old, his feet don’t collapse due to excessive consumption. It’s just that he is too easy to gain weight, the fattest year The weight is as high as 96 kilograms. You must know that he is only 1.83 meters.
In order to prevent Tim Hardaway from being overweight, there is an additional clause in the contract he recently signed, that is, he must be under 89 kilograms to get his full salary, otherwise he can only get half of it. This is also an anecdote.
In the previous three shots, Liu Mang wanted to rely on his height advantage to shoot directly, but Tim Hardaway's interference was really good, and Liu Mang's three shots were all interfered in place.
This time Liu Mang calmed down, not in a hurry to score, but to observe the opponent's defense.
It is true that the Nuggets management and coaching staff want to play badly, but no player wants to play badly, unless the discipline is as strict as the Heat and Spurs, otherwise the players want to try their best to win.
Liu Mang could clearly see that the Nuggets' players were working hard on defense, but obviously there was no systematic defensive tactical arrangement, and the players were all defensive.
Generally speaking, this kind of defense is courting death, but it really works for Liu Mang! The opponent is sticking to one defense and one defense, Tim Hardaway has excellent speed awareness, and Liu Mang has a hard time breaking through.
The opponent did not form a clear defensive purpose, Liu Mang decided to "help" the opponent form a defensive purpose, and gestured to Muhammad, and Muhammad immediately came out to pick and roll.
Muhammad's pick-and-roll is very solid, and Liu Mang cuts in. At this time, the opponent's giant center LaFrentz just ran to the free throw line and just stopped Liu Mang.
Liu Mang's foul already had some deterrent effect, and LaFrentz just raised his hand to block Liu Mang, determined not to jump!
Needless to say, the center on the block list this season has a good sense, and such a large size is a huge obstacle. If Liu Mang bypasses it, Tim Hardaway will also catch up.
But this time Liu Mang is not staring at himself to score, his purpose is to let the opponent form a pincer attack on him!
Muhammad disassembled and went down at the same time. He was not as fast as Liu Mang. He rushed to the free throw line after Liu Mang was blocked, but the rhythm was just right! Liu Mang bypassed LaFrentz and went straight to the basket. Muhammad received the ball tacitly and smashed it into the basket!
