Chapter 1315 1314. Mama Mai's middle-aged rebellion (Buddhism's third update 35)

Liu Mang was cornered!

Liu Mang failed to practice in the afternoon and was driven away by Stockton, a guy who loves his disciples. Liu Mang was going to go home to practice shooting. When he came to the parking lot, he was cornered!

"Ace, why did you take my position as the defensive arrow?" McGrady asked fiercely.

Liu Mang almost spit out blood when listening to McGrady's words.

The coaching staff did not find McGrady's mentality problem on the defensive end, because when defending Nowitzki, McGrady really tried his best. Three of the four defenses in the game were caused by defending Nowitzki too fiercely.

But Liu Mang knew that McGrady began to be proud before he played the game. He was just pretending to defend Crawford, and he looked like a Rockets shooting guard.

Liu Mang wanted to sacrifice himself, but this guy actually blamed him!

And he didn't say it in front of his teammates in the afternoon, but he blocked him in private!

However... Liu Mang knew that he did something wrong. He took on the responsibility without discussing it with McGrady first.

In the afternoon, when Mike Woodson adjusted the perimeter defense rotation, he changed the original McGrady-Prince starting lineup and Battier perimeter defense rotation lineup, which was the perimeter defense rotation lineup of McGrady-Prince-Iguodala last season, to the perimeter four-man rotation defense lineup of Liu Mang-Prince-Battier-Rondo.

McGrady's role was redefined. He was no longer the defensive spearhead, but was going to watch the shooter and the cut-type perimeter opponents!

Although the task was reduced, McGrady would inevitably feel that his teammates would have some strange views.

How to tell McGrady's mother? Just tell her that you can focus on scoring and passing in the future? Although this is the plan, you can't say it directly.

In fact, McGrady was also assigned a different task. In view of McGrady's super talent and learning ability in basketball, the coaching staff assigned him a new task to connect his teammates.

However, the heavier and more tiring task was taken away, which would definitely make the person involved feel uncomfortable.

The heavier the task given, from some perspectives, it is actually a trust and reliance on him.

Liu Mang's mind turned quickly, and he noticed it, and replied: "Of course I have to grab it, let me also feel the feeling of defending the opponent's best outside line."

"Tsk, take me home, I took Rashid's car at noon, he ran away first," McGrady knew Liu Mang's thoughts, he knew himself very well, and said to Liu Mang: "What are you afraid of, Ace, we are the strongest duo in history, we will definitely win to the end..."

Just like Harden doesn't know how to defend? Although he is not a defensive stalwart in the Thunder, he can help Duwe and Durant a lot on the defensive end, especially when Durant's defense is still poor.

In the first year of joining the Rockets, Harden's defense was not bad, at least he would not drag his feet, but after becoming a star player, Harden's defense inherited the glorious tradition of the Rockets' shooting guards...

McGrady is already very good, and he became proud and had this mentality after helping the team establish a dynasty.

And it doesn't mean that anyone can get 50+ by counterattacking him. He should still be serious when he should be serious, but there are not many opponents who can make him serious.

Listening to McGrady's words, Liu Mang actually felt a sense of identity...

"You bastard, what you said really makes sense..." Liu Mang was so annoyed...

Before Liu Mang said that McGrady's defense was not good, McGrady expressed his opinion first. Liu Mang felt that his decision was correct...

Anyway, McGrady made positive contributions no matter what, but I used to like McGrady's focus on scoring, defense, and passing, which is a bit unaccustomed.

Think about some scorers, such as Peja, who is average except for shooting, especially defense, which has been criticized many times, but didn't the Kings survive?

Liu Mang felt that his teammates were much better than that Kings team, and McGrady's defense was not as bad as Peja's.

He was too happy before, but now Liu Mang feels that McGrady has a feeling of "middle-aged rebellion". After getting all the honors he should have except MVP, he is a little confused, which is reflected in his pride and has become unsought.

There is no solution to this problem, so let him be like this, there is always a solution, such as letting McGrady be the second scorer of his team and creating the best opportunity for him to display his comprehensive offensive skills.

…

After returning home, Liu Mang practiced shooting for two hours. After dinner, Liu Mang prepared to watch the opening games of some teams the next day.

The Mavericks' opening schedule is quite miserable. The Texas team used to have a relatively good schedule because the Rockets had Yao Ming, but now, the Texas team's schedule is so miserable. The Mavericks and Spurs are not treated as strong teams should be.

The Mavericks played the Hawks yesterday and will play the Grizzlies today.

The East, West and South Divisions are close to each other, so the opening games of the teams in the Southwest Division are clustered together.

But it's also good luck. The Mavericks' game was broadcast live by ESPN yesterday, and Time Warner broadcast their game again today.

Liu Mang originally wanted to see if the Mavericks were still so coquettish today. Yesterday's hit rate was 56%, which was simply crazy.

Then...

The Mavericks lost in overtime...

96-98, to the Grizzlies who lost Gasol and were led by Caron Butler alone...

The Mavericks seemed to have used up their touch yesterday, or maybe they had too much fun in the evening after defeating the defending champions in the opening game. They only got 96 points after overtime tonight and lost to the Grizzlies by two points at home.

The Grizzlies are ranked last in the strength rankings this season! The Mavericks are ranked fifth!

…

The home team locker room at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

For the first time in his career, Nowitzki scored 40+ in two consecutive games, but he lost the game with a performance of 14 of 30 shots in the back-to-back games…

Nowitzki, who was complaining about himself, heard the phone ringing in the closet. Seeing that it was Liu Mang's call, he answered it. Just as he put it to his ear, before he said "Hello", he heard a crazy roar:

"Dirk Nowitzki, you silver-faced wretched man, you did it on purpose!"

…

…

Sad, painful, Liu Mang looked at the news ridiculed on the Internet, really sad.

Regarding the Hawks' opening loss, some media outlets made a comment, saying that the Hawks were going to fall into a slump after three consecutive championships, and began to criticize the Hawks' summer trades, saying that the previous defensive system was gone.

But most fans still look at the Hawks with a mocking attitude. It is not easy to get a new lineup that has just been formed.

So... after the Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies, some media outlets that are making trouble gave a mocking "view".

The Hawks lost to the Mavericks, and the Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies, which means that the Hawks are not as good as the Grizzlies...

This statement... is really hard to refute!
