Chapter 35
After changing into training uniforms and completing the warm-up, Liu Mang and the three of them came to the field for training.
"Ding... the training mode starts, and the host enters the state of the strongest theoretical strength."
"Ding... I found that I can try to steal the copy skill: the second attack master, from Nazr Muhammad."
"Secondary offensive player: Common inside skills, after grabbing offensive rebounds, the shooting percentage at the basket will increase."
"Ding... found that you can try to steal the copy skill: the leader of the locker room, from Nazr Muhammad."
"Leader of the locker room: calm people's hearts and suppress team conflicts."
Muhammad actually has two skills? Liu Mang was very surprised, why the system didn't find it before?
The system quickly answered Liu Reck's doubts: "Secondary offensive skills are very common. Most insiders in the league have them. Locker room leaders are also very common, and most of them are veterans."
Liu Mang thought for a while, and it seemed to be the case, but... he felt that Muhammad was a miraculous figure. Others became leaders of the locker room only after they were in their thirties and couldn't be beaten, mainly because of their seniority.
It can only be said that... Muhammad was "young and mature"?
Liu Mang took a closer look at Muhammad's face... well, not young, just old...
...
Still the same as two days ago, Liu Mang went home and drove to school to pick up Dinah and Alexia to watch the game together after finishing the tactics class in the afternoon.
At first, Liu Mang thought that today's game with McGrady, who was so popular back then, would not be easy to ask for tickets. Who knew that he happened to meet the team owner, and the owner asked Cai Rong to send two sideline tickets without saying a word.
There is also the tactics class in the afternoon. In fact, Liu Mang's substitutes have nothing to do with it. His task is to go up and do it!
The starters can play tactics very well, but most teams' substitutes are not necessarily.
The personal strength of the substitutes is like that. It is unrealistic for them to play completely according to the tactics, so the task most coaches give the substitutes is to go up and do it. That's why players like Jamal Crawford are so popular with all teams. sought after.
After receiving the two beauties, Liu Mang drove to the Phillips Center...
After getting in the car, Liu Mang felt a little uncomfortable.
"...Aida-senpai, what are you looking at me for?"
Liu Mang felt uncomfortable all over. Alexia had been staring at him since getting in the car.
"Ace has really entered the NBA and has become more confident! Looking at the little eyes, it's so charming, the little kid back then has grown up!"
"..."
Seemingly seeing Liu Mang's embarrassment, Alexia didn't continue to stare at Liu Mang. She rummaged through her bag to get some lipstick, and happened to find the ticket that Liu Mang gave her just now: "Hey, Ace , the side ticket you want this time?"
"Yes, I just ran into the boss today, and he insisted on giving me these two cards. If you are worried about being knocked down, you can change seats with the fans in the back row, and they will be very happy." Liu Mang replied casually.
"It must be changed! It's too embarrassing to be caught on camera. I can't afford a side ticket to McGrady's game."
"Enn, Dinah has to change too. If students see Dinah watching Uncle's game, they will definitely guess the relationship between Dinah and Uncle!"
"It's not that your family doesn't have money, Dana. It's normal for you to watch the game from the sidelines! What does it have to do with me!"
"It's not that fat German, you tease him that he is a future star, he really believes it, and goes around to show off that uncle, you said he is a future star, but the classmates don't believe it, so he said that I heard it too, that I Get to know Uncle."
"You admit it?"
"No, I said that fat man was bragging."
"..."
...
It's the last of four consecutive home games to open the season.
vs. the incoming Orlando Magic.
"Calf...the Achilles tendon!" It was the first time Liu Mang saw McGrady's long legs with his own eyes, and it was even more exaggerated than on TV.
Seeing the envy on Liu Mang's face, Muhammad said, "That's something you can have without being envious. That's what Pat Riley said is the most suitable body for basketball."
Pat Riley's best body for basketball?
Is it the positionless combination of five 2.03-meter players? Five players who can play from one to five?
It seems that apart from McGrady and James, there seems to be no third person who can achieve the ideal state that Pat Riley said.
In Liu Mang's view, Pat Riley is just making a gimmick, using a lineup that seems reasonable and would absolutely rule if it existed to show how clever he is.
If Magician, Jordan, Larry Bird, Olajuwon, and Chamberlain played in the same team at their peak, wouldn't they still be invincible?
but! Regardless of whether it is Tracy McGrady or James, just looking at their body shapes without looking at anything else makes people drool!
It really is the perfect basketball player's body type!
"McGrady's information." Liu Mang said in his heart.
"Tracey McGrady, ability value 95, offense 99, defense 82, special attributes: jealousy, indisputable."
"Heaven's jealous? Don't fight?"
What are special attributes? Liu Mang knew that if it was an opponent's innate skill, the system would not detect it if it was not triggered in front of him. Generally, what was detected was the player's current physical fitness and the ability value displayed by the strength he played.
But this time there is one more thing, which is not available in all the players I have seen, only McGrady has it.
"Heavenly Jealousy: Tracy McGrady has the theoretically strongest talent that God would be jealous of, but it's always accompanied by the worst luck."
"Indisputable: I have experienced all kinds of bad luck since I was a teenager, and I will lose a relative or friend almost every year. The character I have developed tends to be good at accepting whatever happens."
The worst luck ever? Not in the first round? Obviously last year's first round or five games this year changed to seven games and the result was a 3-1 lead that was reversed? Both cores have entered their peak period, but the two are reimbursed for the season together? Reimbursed his teammates but made it to the second round? The invincible team won the championship, and the result was a proper result. After hugging a thigh, the future core of the invincible team missed all free throws in the last few seconds, was lore, and lost the championship in overtime?
I didn't feel it before, but I just felt sorry for McGrady's entire career. He obviously had a personal ability that was not weaker than any outside line at the time since he was 22 years old, but he was unlucky from the beginning of his career.
Now that Liu Mang thinks carefully about McGrady's entire career, it is simply unlucky enough to describe it, he is simply possessed by a broom star! And lost a friend that year.
It's all so unlucky, but I can still face it with a smile.
For this point, Liu Mang fully respects McGrady from the bottom of his heart! Although I know that McGrady's career will not be perfect in the future, if you don't think about winning championships or personal honors, but just considering basketball fans, McGrady seems to be pretty good.
