Chapter 1205 1204. Unexpected Visitor

There is also the idea of ​​brainstorming. There is a very high possibility that Wade will still have excessive whistles in the next game. Let's see if the players have any way to deal with this situation.

In the first game, Liu Mang's strategy was very effective, forcing Wade to play singles.

But that was only a temporary solution. Pat Riley on the Heat side was stunned, so he didn't make a truly effective adjustment method, because Wade's singles were very effective, better than any tactical effect, with a hit rate of 18 of 33 shots. It was better for Wade to pass the ball to his teammates than for him to do it himself.

But in the end, Wade's physical decline led to the collapse of the Heat's defense, and the Hawks scored 112 points. This will definitely make the Heat think and change.

Judging others by oneself, Coach Kruger felt that if he were Pat Riley, he would rather give up some of Wade's sharp attacks and better strengthen team cooperation and enhance the continuity of defense when faced with the situation in the first game, because it has been proven that Wade and O'Neal, who scored 73 points together, could not match the Hawks' three eagles who scored 80 points together.

What changes might the Heat have, and how to deal with those changes, mainly in response to Wade's excessive whistle, what special methods should be used to defend, the Hawks coaching staff needs to focus on the team's thinking to study.

It is definitely not possible to study anything in a short time. The Hawks coaching staff just threw this issue out, mainly for defensive assistant coach Mike Woodson, head coach Kruger and Chip Engelland, a multi-functional comprehensive coach, to study, just looking forward to others to give some opinions.

After the team meeting in the morning, the Hawks did not arrange training in the afternoon. Liu Mang played for 45 minutes yesterday. The coaching staff saw that he was full of energy and could not see any physical problems, but the coaching staff still had to let him rest.

Moreover, in yesterday's game, the nine-man rotation was mainly Liu Mang, McGrady, Jason Terry, Iguodala, Prince, Josh Smith, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown, and Mourning. Korver played only 11 minutes, only 1 of 4 shots, and was not substituted much later. The Hawks mainly rotated five players on the outside and three players on the inside, which is still a little disadvantaged compared to the Heat's 10-man rotation.

However, most of the Hawks' players are young, which is an advantage. The inside is a little old, but O'Neal is also old. The inside is flat, and the advantage is that a group of young players on the outside can wear Wade out.

But even if they are young, the coaching staff has to let them rest more. The series has just begun, and the Hawks' goal is not just to win this round of the series!

…

After paying the fine with McGrady, Liu Mang wanted to practice three-pointers in the afternoon. In the first game, Liu Mang's three-pointers were average, only 2 of 7 shots, but he was driven away by Coach Kruger.

After Liu Mang returned home, he wanted to practice shooting on the court at home, but Alexia pestered him to take care of the child.

"Aida, you are not like this usually. Tell me, what's wrong? You seem weird." Liu Mang said to the young woman who was holding her son next to him.

"Hehe, the coach called me to supervise you to rest." Alexia smiled and leaned her head on Liu Mang's shoulder.

OK!

The head coach of the JDZ king and the soul of the 76ers cried and begged them to practice more and play less. When it came to him, Liu, the coach called his home and banned him from training!

However, Liu Mang looked at his cute daughter in his arms and the little loli sitting next to him who was taking the final exam for the handicraft class. He felt that this was not bad, and he could relax his body and mind.

Unknowingly, he had been a father for half a year. Liu Mang felt that time passed so quickly. The last preseason game before the season seemed to be right in front of him, and it was the Eastern Conference Finals in an instant, and the opponent was still the Heat.

And Liu Mang really needs time to think about how to deal with Wade who gets more whistles. The first game was purely confusing to Pat Riley. Liu Mang estimated that Pat Riley himself did not understand what the referee's whistle was at the time. Sometimes it was there, sometimes it was not. Because Coach Kruger did not understand it very well at the time, he just cooperated with Liu Mang's needs to make substitutions and tactical arrangements. The two cooperated tacitly and made a divine calculation once. Next, they will definitely face greater problems.

Liu Mang needs to think about what kind of changes the Heat may have and how to deal with it.

Just when Liu Mang was teasing his daughter, watching the little loli doing handicrafts, and thinking about how to deal with the Heat when he was free, Schwartz called and said that a guest was coming to visit him, and he had already arrived, without giving Liu Mang any time to prepare.

After Liu Mang heard Schwartz introduce the visitor, Liu Mang immediately took it seriously. He didn't care about dealing with it and didn't make an appointment in advance, so he immediately asked Levia and Alexia to prepare.

…

…

“Hello, I’m James Gartner. I’m sorry I didn’t make an appointment in advance, but I can’t wait to meet you.”

Liu Mang looked at the old man with a gray beard and messy hair that looked like he hadn’t had his hair cut for a long time after dyeing it black. The roots of his hair were white and the ends of his hair were gray. Is this the talented director that Schwartz mentioned?

He is clearly an unkempt old man!

Fortunately, Liu Mang was polite, and Schwartz came to Liu Mang’s house first and repeatedly reminded Liu Mang not to judge people by their appearance. Liu Mang didn’t show any special expression. He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake James Gartner’s hand and said, “Hello, I’m Ace. Nice to meet you.”

Without any more pleasantries, James Gartner immediately began to talk about his purpose, and he was completely indifferent to others.

"I have a great idea. Let's make a movie together. It will be based on your growing experience, but not in the NBA. This movie will definitely be a big hit..."

Liu Mang felt that this bad old man seemed a little nervous. He said that he didn't care whether he liked it or not, so he started to introduce the plot.

The plot is very simple. It is a narrative story about an undervalued yellow college student who went from being a substitute in the NCAA to leading the team to win the NCAA championship.

Liu Mang was not interested at first, but the more he listened, the more familiar the plot seemed to be. There were just a few changes, but he was not impressed anymore. Liu Mang couldn't think of the changes because he couldn't remember the original plot, but it was just very familiar. .

"...I won't waste a lot of your time. We can finish filming the story in just one week!" James Gartner finally finished.

Liu Mang had no intention of agreeing, but still asked out of curiosity: "What's the name of the movie?"

"Path of Glory!" James Gartner said excitedly.
