Chapter 1323 1322. Liu Mang Also Likes to Give Nicknames (1/5)

Chapter 1323 1322. Liu Mang also loves to give nicknames (15)

Successfully turned the tables and won the first victory of the season.

The fans of the Hawks all looked like they had known it for a long time, completely ignoring their previous complaints about the immature performance of the substitute lineup and their almost uncontrollable dissatisfaction.

But after winning, all we saw were the good sides.

Rondo was a great passer, but his imagination was a little too good, or rather... he imagined the opponent's defense a little too well, thinking that the opponent would defend in that way, so he made a more concealed pass, but the opponent didn't defend in that way, and his teammates didn't understand Rondo's personal interpretation of the tactics...

But after winning, we can see that it is Rondo's talent!

And in defense, Rondo can also help Jason Terry or McGrady with defense, which is good. In 15 minutes of playing time, he got 2 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

After the game, Liu Mang looked at Rondo's data and felt... so awkward! What would happen if he grabbed one less rebound!

Fans are still very satisfied with David Lee in the interior. He can play one-on-one occasionally. Although his defense is not good, he has a good defensive rebounding position and is also good at grabbing rebounds. With Kwame Brown, Marion, Rasheed Wallace, and David Lee, the four interior rotations are basically enough. Millsap has not got a chance to play for the time being.

The focus is on the training of outside substitutes, and Liu Mang's backup point guard Rondo is the focus.

After winning, Liu Mang is ready to implement his other idea for the 03 generation of players.

Although the talent and skills are already in hand, Liu Mang has a feeling that he can't stop targeting the 03 generation of five heroes who have successfully stood up. Obviously, except for the Lakers, Ma Niu, the 03 generation is the biggest enemy at present.

Wade and Stoudemire have a good cooperation and play pick-and-roll well. The biggest problem is the hidden danger of injury. Liu Mang can't expect this. What if the two are not injured?

James has an unprecedented outstanding teammate, and he will definitely go further. Milicic has stood up. These three are Liu Mang's biggest opponents in the East.

Moreover... Liu Mang has to find a way to target Milicic's high-post support. There are some clues now, but it is still in the research stage. Prepare a few more plans in case of emergency!

...

At the press conference after the game, reporters were surprised to see Liu Mang coming to the scene. After the last game, only Coach Kruger came to the press conference alone. Coach Kruger was extremely old-fashioned when facing Liu Mang. He didn't even make a sound when the media asked sharp questions.

"Ace, what do you think of your substitute Rajon Rondo's performance?" The reporter immediately asked this most critical question.

Rondo averaged 1 point and 2 assists in two games. He played only 8 minutes in the first game, scored no points, and only got two assists. He played for 15 minutes today and only scored two points. From the data, it seems that this No. 16 pick was wasted.

Liu Mang answered this question confidently: "Rajon is great. One day he will be a point guard who can be the core of the team like Andre and Josh. His talent makes us very excited. When he adapts to the rhythm of the NBA, he will use his passing to lead our bench lineup to play wonderful performances like in high school and college."

Such a high evaluation, some media wrote.

"Ace, what do you think about the future of the trio of Darko Milicic, Joe Johnson, and Richard Jefferson?" This is a reporter from Toronto. It's an away game, so the question is quite implicit.

This is what Liu Mang was waiting for. This trio performed very well most of the time today. Milicic is better than Kwame Brown in terms of strength and comprehensiveness. His talent is really good. Joe Johnson also played well against McGrady, and Richard Jefferson also played well. Someone must ask this question.

"Dakko is great. I don't know if you have heard of him. European fans call him the new Sabonis and the new backbone of world basketball. He played very well in today's game and put a lot of pressure on us. We have never seen such a great center. He can play singles under the basket and can also assist from the high position. This year, Dako will definitely shock people. He will be an unstoppable beast..." Liu Mang grabbed Milicic and praised him to death...

The reporter was shocked by this answer. When did Liu Mang praise an opponent like this?

Liu Mang didn't finish speaking, and continued: "What surprised me more was Joe. I thought he was very good before, but I didn't expect him to be so good. His mid-range is like Michael Jordan... No, his mid-range is the modern Jordan. I have never seen such a great mid-range single scorer..."

Praise!

Praise to death!

Liu Mang's comments on Milicic and Joe Johnson made the media feel like they didn't recognize Liu Mang anymore...

When Liu Mang was praising Milicic, Joe Johnson, who was attending the press conference, didn't think much of it. He also thought Milicic was great. He didn't have to worry about not having the ball when playing with Milicic, and he could still win. He was much happier than playing as a substitute with a salary of tens of millions in the Bucks last year. But Liu Mang also praised him wildly, and even praised him as the contemporary Jordan!

Not to mention, Liu Mang's current position in the league is no weaker than O'Neal after the three consecutive championships. As the first active player in terms of personal honors, his words made Joe Johnson panic...

This nickname, the contemporary Jordan, Joe Johnson, will probably accompany me for the rest of my life!

If I perform well, this is a positive nickname. If I don't play well, I will become a laughing stock!

"By the way, I'm going to open a program with ESPN that will be broadcast from time to time. I will analyze some powerful opponents. I hope fans and media friends can discuss with me how to deal with these powerful stars. I will Let us share with our fans some of our team's methods of dealing with them..." Liu Mang suddenly said something that was beyond the expectations of the media. Even Coach Kruger, the opposing head coach and Joe Johnson were shocked.

Just when people thought it was Milicic or Joe Johnson, Liu Mang continued: "The first opponent I want to analyze is... Tim Duncan..."

…

…

Joe Johnson and Milicic were excited and worried. Joe Johnson was confident, but he didn't expect to be nicknamed "Modern Jordan." Moreover, the headlines given by the media were "Ace won his first win of the season. Send Joe the nickname "Contemporary Jordan".

Joe Johnson was puzzled. The number one player in the league in the new century loves to give people nicknames?

Milicic is okay. Some European media have already given him the nicknames New Sabonis and Roof of the New World.

The most innocent person is Duncan, who just finished the game in San Antonio. The Spurs started with three consecutive victories. They were so happy that suddenly something unexpected happened...
