Chapter 1507 1506. How Can We Destroy This Team? (Ask for Monthly Votes)

"Tsk, tsk... the head coach of the Bulls is so cruel!" McGrady looked at the playing time of the Bulls players listed by the coach on the PPT and couldn't help but click his tongue.

McGrady looked at the playing time of the Bulls players and felt that if he played under such a head coach, he would probably be useless.

If Liu Mang knew what McGrady was thinking, he would be angry again. In the original time and space, Yao Maiben was ruined by this physical man who was still an assistant coach of the Rockets in two or three years.

The playing time of the Bulls' five starters is scary to watch!

Hinrich averaged 39 minutes per game, a career-high playing time, and scored 12.5 points, 6.3 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 turnovers.

Michael Reed averaged 38 minutes per game, a career high in playing time, and scored 24.6 points, 3 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Luol Deng averaged 41 minutes per game, a career-high playing time, and scored 15.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks.

Kevin Garnett averaged 40 minutes per game, the third-highest total in his career, with 18 points, 9 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 blocks.

Ben Wallace averaged 35 minutes per game, the third-highest total in his career, with 4 points, 8 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.3 steals.

Among the Bulls' five starters, Ben Wallace, who played the lowest playing time, had 35 minutes, and Ben Wallace is already 33 years old.

If Garnett had not had two personal records of 40+ minutes of playing time per game during the Timberwolves, Garnett, who will be 32 years old next month, would have set a new career high in playing time at this age.

"Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau has always arranged players' playing time in this way. It is said that the Rockets did not keep him because every time he gave playing time suggestions to core players, the Rockets players were unhappy." Tocton expressed his views on Thibodeau, "Any team where Thibodeau serves as an assistant will have very low player transaction values, and many of the players he has led will be injured at a very young age."

After hearing Stockton's words, Liu Mang realized that Thibodeau's main force was nothing new in the coaching circle.

"John is right, so our first target as a defensive assistant in the summer is Stan, not anyone else. Only Stan can do a better job than Mike and make our players more satisfied." Coach Kruger echoed .

This made Van Gundy very happy. Since he joined the Eagles coaching staff, he has been compared with the two former assistants Thibodeau and Woodson who just became the head coach.

Coach Kruger did not belittle the heroes of his team, and even said something that satisfied Van Gundy. When Liu Mang heard this, he felt that Coach Kruger was becoming more and more social.

Coach Kruger continued: "But Thibodeau has his own unique way of stimulating players' potential. He arranges high playing time, but the players under him have never had much physical problems, which is very troublesome for us. , the longer their main force fights, the harder it is to deal with it.”

This matter is in line with Liu Mang's understanding of Thibodeau. It is indeed the case. In Liu Mang's impression, Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, and Noah all reached their peak under Thibodeau, and even played better than them. The ultimate level of talent.

The disadvantage is that the peak comes quickly and violently, but it also collapses quickly. Rose was useless in his early 20s, and Luol Deng and Noah also prospered and declined early.

But before the stars are used by Thibodeau, these stars often perform exceptionally under Thibodeau, and there is no problem at the time, which often makes Thibodeau famous!

The Bulls currently have a very good record, 11 wins and 5 losses, and the Cavaliers are also 11 wins and 5 losses. The winning percentages of both teams are close to 70%. Only the 12 wins and 2 losses of the Eagles and the 12 wins and 4 losses of the Raptors in the Eastern Conference have better records than them. good.

The Cavaliers and Bulls mainly lost to the top nine teams in the Western Conference three times. The competition for the top nine in the Western Conference this year is too fierce. Except for the Spurs, even the Lakers, Suns, and Jazz may not be able to enter the top four. At least so far. In this way, the Rockets, currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference, have the same record of 11 wins and 5 losses as the Bulls and Cavaliers, which translates to more than 50 wins in the entire season. This is only eighth in the Western Conference, and the trend will continue.

In the Eastern Conference, the competition for second to fifth place is also fierce, but relatively speaking, it's okay. After all, there are only five truly strong teams in the Eastern Conference. However, the Raptors unexpectedly reached second place in the Eastern Conference. , which is quite surprising.

After marveling at the Bulls' playing time, the Eagles began to make specific tactical arrangements for the Bulls.

…

On the night of November 28th, the Hawks ushered in the penultimate game of the month and came to the United Center in Chicago to challenge the Bulls away from home.

"Ding... The Wrath of the Wind Chaser series of missions: Grudge is triggered."

"Old grudge: The host's team and the Bulls are regarded as the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference this season. The hostility between the host's team and the Bulls players has reached its highest point. Mission goal: To compete with the Bulls in the regular season The winner of the battle has the upper hand. Mission reward: Characteristic: Battle Cry Level 1; Start the next phase of the Wind Chaser's Wrath mission. Failure penalty: End of the second characteristic mission "Wind Chaser's Wrath."

As soon as he stepped onto the court, Liu Mang saw the task that had been carried over from last season, that is, the hatred between the Eagles and the Bulls from last season's regular season and playoffs to this season.

Liu Mang didn't think much about this task. It was the first time they played against each other in the new season. He just worked hard to win. He didn't study the opponent in depth. This was a problem shared by both teams. How could every opponent have it during the regular season? adequate preparation.

The Bulls are the same as the Hawks. Their research on the Hawks may be even less complete, but the Bulls' style of play has been clear since last season, which is to focus on defense and rely on Garnett and Hinrich on the offensive end. To organize the offense, now there is only Reed. The focus is still on defense, and only one starter has been changed. The Bulls have still been able to adjust quickly after changing a new coach. At least they are better than the Hawks, who have changed most of the lineup and have a new system. Much faster, one preseason is enough.

The Eagles will suffer from this point.

Liu Mang's innate skills are what hurts him right now!

Unlike other stars who have a certain level of strength and performance and are judged as talents by the system, Liu Mang slowly improves his abilities in that area after acquiring his talents. There is a huge difference in the way of judgment between the two. s difference.

However, if you want to be judged by the system as a higher-level talent skill, except for Duncan, who is at the peak of his career after entering the NBA, others are generally very slow. Liu Mang has known Kobe since the 01-02 season, and it was not until the 05-06 season that Kobe to the peak.

So Liu Mang knew there was no rush.

However, seeing that the struggle with the Bulls lasted for more than a year, it has almost evolved to the point where his second characteristic is about to be terminated! Liu Mang still had to think about how to deal with it.

Seeing that Reed from the Bulls team wanted to come over to say hello but was stopped by Garnett, Liu Mang felt unhappy when he looked at the iron-blooded brother.

The main reason is that this guy is too difficult to deal with!

In terms of team leadership and attack ability, this No. 21 is indeed far inferior to the West's No. 21, but as the core of the defensive system, this No. 21 may be even better than that No. 21. The defensive range is too wide, coupled with Ben Hualai Shi or Big Z are really awesome.

Another reason is that he didn't get this guy as a teammate last summer.

Liu Mang didn't know what Garnett had gone through. He didn't know that Garnett almost went crazy at the time. The Eagles agreed that besides McHale, Garnett was also "wrong". If Garnett insisted on going to the Eagles, , resolutely not promise to renew the contract with the Bulls. The Bulls may not trade him. Now the Bulls regret it. Garnett can opt out of the contract next summer. Now Garnett has already made a big deal and it will take 5 years. The contract was extended to 2014, but the Bulls only extended the contract for 3 years and 70 million until 2012, and there was no agreement.

"Will the Bulls survive until Thibodeau collapses? It will take two or three years! It has been too long. It is too troublesome to encounter this team in the playoffs every year. Let them return to their roots..."

Liu Mang began to recall, how did the Bulls end in the original time and space?

Liu Mang was thinking. Several major players on the Bulls team had been paying attention to Liu Mang. They saw Liu Mang standing in the middle circle meditating and not practicing. They were very puzzled. Suddenly, they saw Liu Mang smiling! Laughing so hard it makes them uncomfortable!

That bad boy has bad intentions again!

After Liu Mang thought of a way, he ran to coach Kruger and whispered a few words in his ear.

The Bulls players have been paying attention to Liu Mang. After Liu Mang said a few words to the Eagles head coach, the Eagles head coach looked frightened.

This makes the Bulls players even more puzzled. If they think of some bad idea against their Bulls team, the other team's head coach shouldn't react like this...

The Eagles are really confusing...

On the Eagles' bench, coach Kruger asked Liu Mang after being frightened: "Ace, isn't this a bad thing for you to do?"

"When that guy didn't want to come to our team and embarrassed us so much, did he have a good intention? Coach, we have to take revenge!" Liu Mang said seriously.

"Okay... But you have to tell the boss about this first. Ace, you have to be thoughtful when doing things. You can't be as casual as before. You are already a seventh-year veteran." Coach Kruger couldn't defeat Liu Mang, so he just Able to respond.

"Veteran? That's a really ugly title. I know how to do it. This plan has to be started from the boss." Liu Mang also knew that he had to think more.

Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang who had received permission and happily went to the court to shoot and prepare for the game. He felt a little helpless, but he thought of the Timberwolves who humiliated his team last year. One of them is now The opponent's star player, coach Kruger felt that there didn't seem to be much moral problem in doing so.

Coach Kruger admires Liu Mang's words of repaying complaints directly.

The hooligan's huge appeal finally led the head coach completely astray...
