Chapter 1506 1505. We only Know How to Use Stars

In a game that received little attention but was the first national broadcast of the season for the Timberwolves, Liu Mang scored 51 points in 34 minutes alone. The Eagles defended the Timberwolves and only scored 48 points in three quarters...

Coach Kruger was very satisfied when he heard the fans shouting "dismissal" after returning from the halftime break. Even if the annoying guy was not dismissed this time, wouldn't there be another match?

If the annoying guy still can't get out of class in the next match, Coach Kruger won't be at a loss. It's great to torture the opponent.

In the end, the Hawks slaughtered the Timberwolves 107-79, with a score difference of 28 points.

The Eagles' revenge against the Timberwolves made many fans who had no good impressions of the Timberwolves and fans who were watching the fun feel very satisfied. The fans at the scene were furious because their own management was showing off such a thing...

However, the reason why the Timberwolves can get national live broadcasts on ESPN today is entirely because Liu Mang took advantage. This season, the Timberwolves only have 3 national live broadcasts scheduled. This is purely because ESPN wants to take advantage of the Spurs' current 10 wins and 1 loss. , the Spurs chapter of "Details" Season 2 will be broadcast during the Eagles game.

After the game between the Eagles and Timberwolves, the new season of "Details" started.

The Spurs were miserable. They played a back-to-back away game with three days of rest. The schedule was not reasonable at all.

Duncan, Popovich and other members of the Spurs saw the ESPN program preview yesterday. "Details" has become ESPN Sports' flagship occasional program. They watched the entire game between the Eagles and Timberwolves today. The strength of the Hawks... The Spurs don't think it's a problem, they can do it, as long as the opponent doesn't cut Duncan.

What they were more concerned about was how Liu Mang would analyze them.

After playing some commercials, "Details", ESPN exclusives, etc., the figure of Liu Mang, who had just scored 51 points, once again appeared on the ESPN sports screen.

In the new season, ESPN's scene layout has also been enriched a lot. In the past, it was just an LED screen and a stage, and nothing else. This time, ESPN also carefully arranged a podium and posted many large photos of NBA teams. Each picture The photos are all related to Liu Mang, and there is a stadium model next to it...

Liu Mang on the TV screen read out the advertisement and started analyzing it without any further delay.

The screen switched to the Spurs offensive highlights screen. Liu Mang said the opening remarks: "I have too much to say about the analysis of the Spurs. A half-hour program may not be enough time, so I will analyze it in many times. About ten times, this time my analysis is mainly divided into two parts. One part I named 'Spurs System', and the other part, which will be broadcast in the next episode, I named 'Innateness'. The coming king is Tim Duncan'..."

When Liu Mang said this, Popovich felt like he was hit hard!

Popovich didn't believe it a dozen times, but it was definitely not just this time!

The Spurs have played 11 games this season, with 10 wins and 1 loss. Some people have begun to feel that the Spurs' style of play this year has the feel of a new system. It is not just a change in rhythm, but it is not to the point of giving people nicknames.

But Liu Mang took the nickname directly!

Some players or coaches may be very happy to be praised by Liu Mang. For example, the No. 21 sitting next to Popovich who was caught stealing red wine is now very proud, showing a smile as warm as spring, which makes Popovich Povich was so frightened that he almost called the police. His smile was so sinful.

Popovich is not happy at all!

He felt that Liu Mang would definitely belittle their system!

Popovich really hopes that his team's system will be famous, so that it may attract stars to join. They have always had room to introduce superstars, but no one is willing to come. If Parker had been traded for Liu Mang, Or any of Kidd...

But the Spurs have just lost to the Hawks. No matter how the Hawks win, no matter how much faster the Spurs are than the Hawks, the winner is the winner and the loser is the loser. This cannot be changed.

At this time, people still have the impression that the Eagles are better than the Spurs! From a certain perspective, the Eagles system is better than the Spurs system!

But... just when Popovich was unhappy, the No. 24 player on TV shocked him...

"... Let's talk about the Spurs system today. This is a brand new concept. It is very different from the triangle offensive tactics and Princeton tactics. The Spurs have a very unique place. It is difficult to summarize it with tactics. It can only be summarized with the system. To describe it, the Spurs will become a benchmark for the progress of all teams in the league. Their system is great!

Many of their players are not very talented, but they work hard, but hard work may not necessarily lead to survival in the NBA, but Mr. Popovich has found a tactical system that brings out the strengths of those fringe players who have certain strengths but obvious shortcomings. , this is a blessing for basketball players. When the Spurs system is perfected, they will be the strongest team... This is much better than our Eagles. Our coach only knows how to use superstars, but our stars many! So we are definitely the strongest..."

Just... this "just", many coaches who are watching the second season of "Details" want to smash the TV. In the past 20 to 30 years, countless coaches want to figure out how to bring stars together. It's not that the tactical concept is bad, or that the roles given to two or more stars are not balanced, but in the past 20 to 30 years, in the golden age of the league's endless stars, the stars are arrogant, no one wants to be the second, and no one likes that the star that the team values ​​most is not himself.

But Popovich likes Liu Mang's statement very much!

People are jealous. Popovich is also jealous that the Zen Master and Coach Kruger have always had many stars. His three horses are also three All-Stars, but except Duncan, the other two are cultivated by him with great effort. No All-Star is willing to join them. Even in attracting veteran stars, the Spurs will always be more than one level behind the Zen Master and Coach Kruger!

However, Popovich feels that Liu Mang is intentionally "devaluing" his team's system. Popovich clearly feels that the Hawks system will not be worse than his Spurs system! The Spurs system still needs to absorb the advanced tactical ideas gradually revealed by the Hawks.

Liu Mang finally emphasized that they have many stars and they are the strongest. Some people heard Liu Mang's "stubbornness", but Popovich felt it was very different.

"Is Ace afraid that others will notice them? He wants to divert people's attention to us so that they can have time to run in? How smart!" Thinking of this, Popovich smiled: "Tim, you have a good relationship with Ace, right? You and Ace should also make an appointment to train together in the summer!"

After saying that, Popovich didn't care about Duncan's slightly surprised look. When Duncan's last contract was about to expire in 2004, Popovich told him not to contact Liu Mang too much. A long time ago, he asked him to contact Liu Mang more, and now he asked him to contact Liu Mang more again...

Duncan thought about it and understood that in 2004, he was afraid that he would be hooked up by Liu Mang, and asked him to contact Liu Mang twice, probably to attract Liu Mang.

But Liu Mang spoke well and was smart. Duncan liked to play with Liu Mang very much, and he didn't refuse.

After Liu Mang finished his opening speech, he began to analyze the details of the Spurs' offensive tactics from a professional perspective...

This time, Liu Mang's analysis of the Spurs was mainly in the high-post coordination. Ginobili + Parker's outside organization, combined with Battier, Duncan and Barry's high-post coordination, was a headache for Liu Mang.

Most of the players on the Spurs would not survive if they changed teams, but they were all very strong in the Spurs. Van Gundy was trying to find a solution, and Liu Mang was also trying to find a solution. Now this difficult problem was thrown to each team to brainstorm, just in case a team found a way to deal with them.

Popovich also saw Liu Mang's conspiracy, which was clearly aimed at them, and he couldn't respond yet!

"Forget it, there is pressure to become stronger, just like Ace said, our system is not perfect yet..." Popovich looked at Liu Mang's more professional analysis than last year and found some comfort for himself.

……

……

"Spurs system", "born king", the former is the first system named after a team in NBA history, and the latter is a super high hat on Duncan, which makes the Spurs popular again!

This year, the Spurs defeated the Cavaliers and Lakers. Although they lost to the Hawks, after Liu Mang's analysis, many fans felt that the Hawks only defeated the Spurs by cutting Duncan.

The Spurs, with 10 wins and 1 loss, have a half-win record higher than the Hawks, with 9 wins and 1 loss, and are temporarily ranked first in the league. Now Liu Mang is praising the Spurs again...

This has caused the Spurs to take away a lot of attention from other teams, but this is also what Liu Mang wants.

Keep a low profile and take it slow. Liu Mang does not expect to adjust the team's status to the peak in the early or middle stages of the regular season. The Mavericks last year are a lesson. The Hawks are now ranked first in the Eastern Conference thanks to an easy schedule at the beginning of the season, so the Hawks are not in a hurry. They will slowly run in and adjust slowly. When the tactics are engraved in their minds and they can make the best choices according to the situation on the field in the game, that is when the Hawks are the strongest.

When the "Spurs System" and "Born King" episodes of "Details" were broadcast one after another, the Hawks' schedule was still continuing.

Two consecutive away games followed by a back-to-back home game followed by two consecutive away games. On November 26, after the Hawks defeated the Kings away, the Hawks achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in these five games. The lost game was a back-to-back away game. Liu Mang and McGrady scored 65 points together, but the team had problems on the defensive end due to the long journey, and the outside shooting was not accurate. Liu Mang's 25 points, 13 rebounds, 9 assists and McGrady's 40 points became useless.

After playing the tightest schedule in November, the Hawks' record became 12 wins and 2 losses, surpassing the Raptors with 12 wins and 4 losses to rank first in the East.

The games against the 76ers and the Kings were relatively easy, giving the Hawks time to practice and rest. The next two opponents, difficult games are coming! After playing 4 away games and 1 home game, the Hawks did not return to Atlanta, but went directly to Chicago. The last opponent of the three consecutive away games was the Bulls!

And there will be a home game against the Mavericks next!

The Bulls who got Reed and the Mavericks who got Coach Carlisle...

It's been exactly one month since the season started, and the real test opponent is here!
