Chapter 590 589. The Strange Logic of the Media
"How did you come up with the key turning point in the second quarter? That tactic looks crazy, and probably no one else would dare to try it."
"It suddenly occurred to me, isn't that a good tactic? Just let us establish a lead. We have enough different types of players who can play different tactics. This is our biggest advantage."
"Liu's shooting percentage has dropped seriously recently. What do you think of this?"
"Ace is now our main scorer, and he encounters more defensive pressure than before. I believe he will adjust."
"Does beating the Nets mean you're a better team?"
"I've always felt that way. In my mind, our team is the best. There may be a lot of shortcomings, but I never feel that we are not a good team."
"..."

...
After the game, Liu Mang ran away again. Coach Kruger took Raheem to the press conference, but the media had no interest in Raheem, who is now transitioning to defense. They all surrounded Coach Kruger for interviews, making Ke Coach Ruger had a big head, and he barely managed it.
From the time that brat put forward the completely illogical and unreasonable tactic, coach Kruger guessed that there would be such a post-match interview. It is true that the Eagles' tactic was successful, but it seemed to many people that it was opportunistic.
For this kind of questioning from the media, coach Kruger wanted to finish a sip of the drink provided by the sponsor and spray it on the faces of those reporters.
Which tactic is not opportunistic to trick the opponent into scoring easily?
Do you want to shoot against the defense? Then what else to do with tactics! What else does the coach need to do?
However, Coach Kruger still endured his discomfort and answered the reporter's question very officially. After all, they won! Winning is the happiest thing.
But it's not too early to be happy. Coach Kruger will remind these players not to go out and play too crazy. After returning to Atlanta, they will soon play the second game of the season with the Nets.
The league's schedule is always so confusing sometimes. In the 2001-02 season, the Hawks had a back-to-back home and away game with the Nets. They also came once last season and once again this year.
Although I don't understand how the league arranges the schedule, but the schedule is like this. The Eagles have just won their first victory against the Nets this season. Coach Kruger will naturally take advantage of this morale , Go back to the home court and strive for another victory, first make the regular season record against the Nets invincible.
Therefore, it is necessary to talk about the fact that the team players linger in nightclubs.
The Eagles have brought in a lot of players this season, and more new teammates have joined. Naturally, there is a new small circle, and the place to exchange feelings is naturally the nightclub.
However, the Eagles have a rule that when playing away games, it is forbidden to spend the night in places other than the hotel where the team lives, so as to prevent players from lingering in nightclubs all night.
Coach Kruger was very puzzled at first why Jason Terry suddenly looked like a soft-footed shrimp today. If Jason Terry hit even one more three-pointer in the first quarter, his team would not be able to return after an advantage at the beginning. Playing so hard, not only that, Jason Terry also did not do well in terms of running positions and attracting defenses. This is why Jason Terry was originally the most threatening point for the Hawks outside of Liu Mang, but But it was suppressed for a whole three quarters.
After the game, before waiting for the post-match press conference, coach Kruger questioned the team staff one by one, and finally someone said that he saw Jason Terry returning to the hotel with a beautiful woman with a nosebleed figure.
This caused Coach Kruger to call Jason Terry to an unoccupied corner to scold after the game, and then re-emphasized the prohibition of staying out during away games, and added that Jason Terry took advantage of loopholes. Take the woman back to the hotel the night before the game.
...
...
"Ace, I'm so miserable!" Jason Terry said bitterly to Liu Mang who was practicing his turnaround shot.
"Oh..." Liu Mang replied without answering, and after receiving the ball thrown by Emmanuel, he turned around and threw the ball to the basket.
"Fuck! Ace, you are too sympathetic! What about the teammate relationship you agreed to!" Jason Terry said angrily.
"Didn't I come to practice with you?" Liu Mang replied helplessly.
"Are you called to accompany me? You are a training madman, you just happen to have someone who can train with you! Maybe you are still laughing because you have an extra partner!" Jason Terry said angrily.
"I didn't expect you to see it, Jason. I didn't want to tell you this cruel fact. Yes, you are right. I am very happy to have a teammate training with me." Liu Mang said towards Jason- Terry frowned.
Just right, a set of training was over, and Liu Mang took the towel handed over by shooting coach Chip Englander to wipe off his sweat.
"OKOK, Jason, it's your turn, Emmanuel, how are you, need a break or are you here?" Chip England looked at the newly promoted team trainer Emmanuel Davis Asked, Emmanuel's weight soared to 120 kilograms in that summer, I really couldn't see it.
This is the case with professional athletes. When the body gets used to absorbing so many calories every day, once the athlete stops doing those high-intensity exercises every day, the weight will go up.
Originally, Emmanuel was a fat man, but now he has become a ball.
"Chip, I'm fine, Jason, come to practice!" Emmanuel doesn't want to lose this job. Gaining weight is purely accidental. Last season, he would go to the Development League to play or waste time. In fact, in order to keep in shape, I will train at any rate in the summer, but now I don’t have those things at all. In less than half a year, I have gained about 25 kilograms.
Many people think that gaining weight is not a bad thing. In their view, being rich, being able to eat enough, and being able to eat enough to not become a fat person is a symbol of face. Emmanuel thinks so, he feels that he It's just that I'm not used to being a fat man who knows how to do things every day, but I'll be fine once I get used to it.
"Emmanuel, I would rather you are too tired to move." Jason Terry complained, got up to train, and this afternoon there will be four additional sets of training, each set of training time is about half an hour.
After Liu Mang finished training, he rested for half an hour. Jason Terry trained during this period. After Jason Terry finished training, Liu Mang came again.
After defeating the Nets, the Eagles' record became 7 wins and 1 loss, temporarily ranking first in the league again. The Pacers, Pistons, Timberwolves, Spurs, Hornets and other teams all lost again.
All teams are similar. In mid-November, they began to play against major teams one after another.
In the early matches of the season starting from October 29th, except for the opening game, in the next few games, the popular teams or strong teams recognized by the league usually encounter weak opponents, or it is difficult for them to be slightly stronger. There is a substantial threat to these teams, allowing popular teams to adapt to the rhythm of the regular season, and this happens to be the most anticipated period for fans to wait for months, and they don't have to worry about losing ratings and attention.
By mid-November, after the enthusiasm that people have been holding back for half a year has gradually dissipated, they need strong dialogues to attract the attention of fans and keep their attention on the NBA, such as the game between the Eagles and the Nets. one.
After winning the first straight game against the Nets, the Hawks became the only team in the league to lose only one game.
Defeated the Nets last night. Early this morning, the Eagles rushed back to Atlanta from New Jersey, went home early to rest, and prepared for the game after two days of rest. The day after tomorrow, that is, November 15th, the Eagles will usher in Nets challenge.
And Jason Terry has to pay for the mistakes he made. The current head coach has more authority than the future head coach. Coach Kruger said that Jason Terry should be punished. Can work hard to train.
And Liu Mang just wanted to continue to hone his low-level skills, this trick is really useful! I just came to practice with Jason Terry.
It is said that it is not fast to sharpen the gun before the battle. It may be true to say that the two days of training before the game, the effect is not particularly great, but the psychological effect is still there, and the turning jump shot is more natural, even if the accuracy is still the same, but it seems It's scary, isn't it!
Liu Mang used the low post to play a few times yesterday, scaring the Nets into a change of formation, which made Liu Mang feel the power of this move.
Although Richard Jefferson practiced his low-post defensive skills in the summer after being hit by Liu Mang a few times in the Eastern Conference finals last season, Liu Mang didn't move much. I am 31 months old, and it is impossible to develop any new offensive and defensive skills. Given his age, Liu Mang can still use it against Kidd. As long as he can create misplaced positions, it is enough for Liu Mang. up.
Liu Mang's current low-post style of play, although the mid-range shot is already considered good, but his low-post is mainly good at turning and cutting. soon.
However, Liu Mang wants to use the turnaround jumper more naturally. Although the turnaround jumper has been developed, the movement is too obvious. When practicing against the trainer, Emmanuel can judge Liu Mang. He had to turn over and shoot, so Liu Mang saw Jason Terry being punished for practice today, so he followed him, at least to practice a more familiar posture, and it would be good to scare the opponent when the time comes.
Although the Eagles and the Nets won the first match, the media predicted that the Nets had the upper hand in the second match. They had a very strange logic, that is, the Nets were defeated by the Eagles. Stealing" the win, the next will explode.
Liu Mang was very upset about this, he just wanted to kill the Nets! Therefore, in the past two days, he has to figure out a way to securely win the victory based on his own strength. Now that the system no longer has the props that are as effective as the rookie period, Liu Mang can only think hard on his own.
...
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the five sets of training that Jason Terry was fined to practice finally came to an end. Liu Mang also took a shower and drove back to the villa after finishing the last set of training. Prepare for the next game.
To Liu Mang's surprise, he had just arrived home, parked the car in the garage, and when he came out, he saw a little loli flying towards him.
Liu Mang quickly caught it, it was still a little heavy!
After embracing it firmly, Liu Mang couldn't help but said: "Wow, really Shen, Dinah, how many times have I told you that you have grown up now! You will be 9 years old soon! Be careful, lady!"
Liu Mang had already prepared that Dinah would lose her temper and say that she was not fat or something, but something strange happened, Dinah jumped out of Liu Mang's arms, and said pitifully, "Uncle will not be fat in the future." Did you hug Dinah? Poor Dinah!"
"I don't mean that!" Liu Mang felt a headache.
"That means uncle will still hug Dinah in the future?" Dinah's eyes seemed to be filled with tears.
Seeing the pitiful look of little Lolita, as long as Liu Mang dared to say no, she would immediately cry for Liu Mang to see, Liu Mang could only say: "Yes, yes!"
Little Lolita jumped up excitedly, but Liu Mang could only catch it again.
Little Loli lowered her head and revealed treachery in her eyes, Liu Mang was defeated...
Liu Mang carried Dinah back to the villa, and Dinah yelled in Liu Mang's arms: "Uncle is the best... Wait, what did you just say, Uncle? You said Dinah is fat? Dinah just grew taller!" "
Seeing the little Lolita changing her face in a fancy way, the corners of Liu Mang's mouth twitched: "Now elementary schools also have drama classes?"
Thank you, I may not be able to stay for a few hours for the first time, but thank you very much!
