Chapter 169

Watching Raheem, who kept rushing into the paint and being guarded by Duncan to death, Liu Mang cursed Pokerface from the sidelines and was paralyzed for the rest of his life.

After playing a few more balls, coach Kruger reluctantly replaced Raheem.

Why is that? Because just now, after Liu Mang couldn't make an outside shot, he also hit Duncan in the face with a dynamite bag like Rahim.

Making fouls is of little use to Duncan, who is now at his peak. It seems that the brothers Xiaodeng, who have not yet reached their peak, stopped every time they met the Spurs when they were in the Rockets.

Duncan's physical fitness is not only superb, but his static physical fitness is also very strong. He has excellent height and arm length.

Liu Mang can't swing it, Jason Terry can't swing it, and now Raheem can't swing it either. The two center forwards of the Spurs are so fast in the fast break, what a mess!

The point difference doesn't seem that big. It's entirely because the Spurs' own offense is relatively weak, and it has nothing to do with the Eagles' defense.

Since it just passed, Coach Kruger is also a bachelor and gave up.

Or continue to abuse the food to improve the record. If an opponent of this level is as out of order as the Lakers, then just make a wave.

Looking at the three little eagles with displeased faces, coach Kruger suddenly felt very relieved. The three little guys have not made much progress in half a season, and their mentality is becoming more and more like the players of a strong team.

But this is all to be experienced. Playing in a non-championship team, there will always be one kind of irresistible loss. Even the championship team has to lose a lot of balls every year.

Liu Mang has to learn this, Jason Terry has to accept this, Raheem... is similar to Liu Mang, Raheem didn't care at all before, but now he cares too much, so he has to learn this too.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Spurs widened the point difference to 69 to 57. After the point difference exceeded 10 points, the Eagles announced their abandonment of the game and replaced all the main players.

In the end, the Eagles lost to the Spurs 84 to 92 without any suspense, and the Texas two-runner. As the media expected, the Eagles won the Rockets first and then lost the Spurs.

The record became 20 wins and 10 losses.

It’s not bad. The national media’s evaluation of the Eagles exceeded the expectations at the beginning of the season. They believed that the Eagles would at least wait until the end of the season to be firmly in the top four in the Eastern Conference. Unexpectedly, at this stage, they are already looking around. The media and fans in Atlanta are very satisfied. The players seem to be increasing their goals, and their record has exceeded expectations. There is also a rookie who gives some surprises every few days.

But the three Kitty Hawks who returned to Atlanta were not satisfied at all.

...

"Sharif, I heard that a new batch of Violet has arrived. Let's go together? The boss said it's still the original product, let's try something new first." Emmanuel smiled cheaply.

After the two consecutive away games in Texas, the Eagles have four days to rest, and then they will face the Raptors and Clippers back to back. Although the two are not weak, but now the tacit understanding is getting stronger and stronger, and the defense has been very stable for the Eagles. The opponent is too difficult to deal with. In addition, it is the middle of the season, and the training arranged by the coaching staff is relatively easy. On the second afternoon of returning to Atlanta, the training ended after simple training and tactical running exercises.

Originally, Raheem was a diamond VIP at the Violet Club, a famous nightclub in Atlanta. He is a regular customer who contributes hundreds of thousands of dollars every year. Go back to sleep in a while, and practice tomorrow!"

Well, Emmanuelbi knows what's going on with Raheem lately, he's been working so hard, and he's also going to the gym to work on his muscles when he's grounded in a hotel in San Antonio.

But it doesn't matter, I can't find this big guy to treat and pay, isn't there another one, Emmanuel turned to Jason Terry: "Jason, I heard that there is a super spicy..."

"No! I'm going to practice two sets!" Jason Terry seemed to be competing with Raheem.

"Then I will practice three sets!"

"My four groups..."

"My five groups..."

Raheem and Jason Terry seem to have practiced more than anyone else during training today. It can be regarded as a healthy competition between teammates.

Emmanuel was so sad, the richest of the two teams didn't go, who would pay for it!

Emmanuel looked at Liu Mang who was also training silently, and sighed. There was only one training madman before, but now there are three!

As for why Raheem and Jason Terry didn't compete with Liu Mang, the reason is quite simple. Liu Mang has trained so hard that he can wear a big gold chain around his neck, wear a big watch on his hand, and smoke a cigar while wearing sunglasses. To the extent that "everyone here is rubbish" is compared to him, that's a life-threatening affair!

Emmanuel left disappointed. Although Mohamed is rich, he is picky. Ratliff looks easy to talk, but he is not suitable for young people to play with. Kukoc seems to have passed the age of playing. Others People are as poor as him, and they are AA...

Liu Mang looked at Raheem and Jason Terry's bragging to the point that they needed to practice more than a dozen sets. One set of training consisted of 100 skipping ropes, 50 three-pointers, and 50 free throws. Shooting (all five points), 50 layups, 5 fast breaks back and forth across the court, 5 pull sprints... etc., etc., and finally return to 100 skipping ropes to relax.

Calculated, one group will take about an hour, more than a dozen groups, practice until the day after tomorrow! You braggarts have no common sense, and the trainers are going to drive you all away after a while.

Sure enough, after another set of practice, the trainer Moron Willie, who had been counting, drove the three away according to the instructions of the coaching staff.

Moron-Willie is so painful, Liu Mang used to be a training madman, and now there are three of them unconsciously! How many people are going to be exhausted!

However, Uncle Steven Callahan, the team's logistics director in charge of medical care and the team's vice president, is old. It's a bit awkward to hand over the training department to Moron Wiley, an old friend who has worked with him for many years. Long-Willie idea of ​​succession.

Moron Willie naturally wanted it, so he had to guard the training ground very dedicatedly every day to show his efforts and strive for opportunities to rise.

...

...

"Those three guys gone?" Coach Kruger asked Mauron Wiley as he sorted through the rejected papers.

"Yes, the three of them just finished their physical therapy and are taking a shower, but they are really addicted to training!" Moron-Willie said with a wry smile: "If I worked half as hard as them back then, I wouldn't have just played a few years with It's not in the league's rhythm. But they practice like this, and I worry about them getting hurt."

"It doesn't matter, we just need to control the training method," coach Kruger replied: "Jason and Ace can't let them practice strength to avoid injury. Sharif controls his weight to reduce the damage to his knees and ankles." pressure."

"I know this. Mr. Callahan reminded me that the three of them have strong stamina. Normal training is fine, but not too much. But now they practice several sets every day before they are willing to leave." Moron Willie also It's a headache, not only because it delays his time to go out, but more importantly, he really treats these three kitty eagles as the younger generation of the team and guides them.

Coach Kruger thought about it and proposed a solution: "Then reduce the amount of training in one group and increase the rest time for each link. Except for Ace, the other two should not be able to see it."

At the same time, Raheem and Jason Terry, who were taking a shower, both sneezed, and Liu Mang, who was far away from these two unscrupulous seniors who liked to observe the body structure of their little friends, was several steps away. I ran to the furthest hair to take a shower, I heard that stupidity is contagious.

Yes, Coach Kruger is bullying the semi-disabled ability of ordinary people in his own country in mathematics.

"This plan is good. I'll adjust it. By the way, Lang, your transaction proposal was rejected again?" Moron Willy asked looking at the document report that was sent back.

"Alas..." Coach Kruger sighed and nodded helplessly.

Moron-Willie didn't say anything, just said hello and left.

The management of the Eagles does not make money, does not benefit, and will never invest more. When the team’s strength cannot be further improved and the players have the final value, they choose to trade badly to save money. In this way, Moron Wiley was also a member of the team's layoffs to save money. Later, he got his current job because he was a drinking buddy with Steven Callahan when he was a player.

Moron Wiley is actually very dissatisfied with the team's overly stingy approach, but he is just a trainer. Even if he takes the position of vice president in the future, he is just in charge of logistics and has no right to speak. use.

Coach Kruger felt helpless when he saw the trade proposal he put forward, which was unlikely to be rejected by the Clippers, but rejected by his boss. He was not as powerful as Georgia Tech!

It's just that the boss refused to agree to the next rubbish contract. It would be great if this deal could be completed.

The trade proposal that coach Kruger applied for is to use the useless mid-level special case of this season, last year's No. 6 pick Demar Johnson, and the first-round pick of next season to exchange for the Clippers' Lamar. - Lamar Odom.

Lamar Odom has repeatedly stated that he doesn't like playing in the Clippers and wants to leave. He and the team's main power forward Brand overlap. Last season's average of 17 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists per game dropped to 13 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Contract, of course I want to leave.

The Clippers have an orthodox power forward with an average of 20+10 per game, and they are willing to give up this talented all-around player who is not focused on playing, but they have been unable to trade. They want to get rid of Derek Strong at the same time and have 2 years left. The 15 million rubbish contract, the 6-year 38 million fat contract signed by Derek Strong in 1997 with Garnett's big contract, has not been able to play at all in the past two years.

According to historical facts, Odom was not traded until later, and the Clippers did not renew his contract. After four years of playing, Odom became a free agent and joined the Heat.

If the Eagles are willing to eat Derek Strong's junk contract and get rid of DeMar Johnson's contract at the same time, the Clippers are also short of young players. Management disagreed.

Coach Kruger is also very helpless, it's not that he has no chance to hit the No. 1 in the Eastern Conference! The Nets are not as strong as imagined, and they are unlikely to be any stronger than the Pistons and their own team, but they have no power!

I have been a college coach for a long time, and I have this common problem. It is the job of the head coach to pick players in college...
