Chapter 792: 791. The Targeted Second-Year Player

For the preparations for the start of the season, Liu Mang is personally ready, and the team has also prepared as much as possible for the start of the new season, waiting to use the preseason to adjust their tactics.

On October 8th, the Eagles came to Miami, ready to start the first game of the season, the first game of the preseason, tomorrow night at 7 o'clock, away to challenge the Heat.

This year, the NBA started the China game plan. For Liu Mang’s Hawks team, they are very lucky because they are not scheduled to play in the China game this season. The first China game is the game between the Rockets and the Lakers. Wang Zhizhi scored 1 3.9 million per year to renew the contract with the Lakers. In order to keep the salary space flexible, the Lakers signed many contracts for one or two years in the past summer. They were in the west again, and went to the domestic imperial capital and magic capital to play two preseason games together.

For Liu Mang, the absence of the China Games is definitely a good thing for the team, and it will not consume unnecessary physical energy, but it is a bit regretful that he cannot play two NBA games in China for the fans.

But it will be their turn next season, so it's not a big deal.

The Eagles' preseason games, from the 9th to the 23rd, have a total of seven games. This year's regular season is the same, starting a few days earlier, and the regular season will start on October 27th.

The preseason game between the Hawks and Heat has received a lot of attention.

The Heat are seen as the only team in the East that can really pose a threat to the Hawks.

The Pacers may also be considered, they are already strong, and they joined Stephen Jackson, but the head coach of the Pacers, Carlisle, was overwhelmed by Coach Kruger. He entered the NBA in the same year, and the best coach was defeated Coach Ruger grabbed it, and was directly killed by Coach Kruger twice in the playoffs. Not many people think that the Pacers can pose a threat to the Eagles, even if the Eagles are now reorganizing their lineup.

The Nets were swept by the Eagles last season. Although Ratliff was added, it is not so easy to threaten the Eagles. Liu Mang's performance in the Olympics was obviously better than last season, and he basically Whether Germany can cooperate well with a defensive center like Ratliff is a big question. If the inside line does not play a role, it will rely on Kidd and Carter, without Richard Jefferson. Dealing with the Eagles' strong perimeter group is a big problem.

The Heat are different. The back line composed of Wade and Eddie Jones has a strong defense. One can shoot and the other can shoot. There is O'Neal inside, mainly O'Neal. O'Neal has Duncan as his opponent in the West. In the East, the inside No one can compete with him.

...

After arriving at the hotel in Miami, Liu Mang replenished the physical potion. Of course, there was another more important reason, which was to upgrade some skills to the full.

"Speed ​​94, Bounce 92, Strength 81, Stamina 94.

73 left-handed three-pointers, 70 mid-range shots, and 87 layups.

The right hand made 89 three-pointers, 87 mid-range shots, and 92 layups.

Comprehensive ability evaluation 90. "

Looking at my own ability evaluation, the three-pointer is stuck at 89, and I can’t become the second player to break through 90 three-pointers among the active players. After the Olympics with James, and Liu Mang and the others after training for a short time, the ability evaluation is low. I'm already 89, but I can't break through 90 for a while.

Liu Wei thinks that he can only take his time. Maybe when he is playing games, he will break through when he feels like shooting. Finding a better way to shoot three-pointers is also a kind of three-point ability. For example, Ku The ultra-fast shooting in the game, and this kind of thing is difficult to find the feeling in training.

However, Liu Wei practiced a lot of layups in addition to practicing three-pointers. His left and right handed shots were not balanced at all, but his layups became more and more balanced. The effect of hard training is obvious. During the fastest period of time, hard training has paid off.

As he got older and gradually approached the physiological peak period between the ages of twenty-four and five to twenty-seven or eight, Liu Mang's strength gradually increased to 81 during training.

After learning high-level skills with Kobe and spending 50,000 superstar points to quickly learn, the singles ability in this area has been developed.

There is still 100,000 superstar points left. During training with Tracy McGrady, Kobe, James, and Iguodala in September and during the training camp, hundreds of physical energy potions were almost used up. Liu Mang spent 50,000 superstar points. Value, replenishing common potions is one aspect, and more importantly, upgrading several skills that are not at full level.

High post skill level 5: In high post singles, if you cheat the opponent's defense and turn around and cut in, your speed will be +5 within two seconds; if you cheat the opponent's defense to shoot, your mid-range shooting ability will be +5.

The effect is outstanding, and it is very useful in singles. Liu Mang already had 87 points in the CIC, and he can reach 92 points in one fell swoop.

Fancy Dunk Level 5: Special effects at the full level. When the counter-slam dunk is unguarded, the bounce, waist and abdomen strength, back strength, and flexibility will be greatly improved. When completing a wonderful dunk, the team's morale will be greatly improved.

Rock Solid Level 5: When competing for defensive rebounds, there is a 50% chance of perfectly blocking the opponent, and when competing for offensive rebounds, there is a 25% chance of perfectly blocking the main opponent.

Now the team may focus on defensive counterattacks, and it becomes very important to defend the defensive rebounds. The team has Iguodala, McGrady, Jason Terry, and Calderon who may be able to play a role. It becomes necessary to recklessly help teammates to block positions to prevent opponents from hitting offensive rebounds.

The Hot Pot Feast has also been upgraded to level 5. If a small lineup is really formed, Liu Mang feels that his wingspan advantage is still very useful.

It's a pity that the stamina fruit obtained when defeating the OK combination in the first phase of the King's Landing mission only increased by 4 points of stamina, and it is almost activated now. We can only wait for the second phase of the King's Landing mission, but it is still waiting to be opened state.

After upgrading these skills, there are still 27 skill upgrade cards, 272 physical potions, 341 primary injury potions, and 50,000 superstar points.

In addition to this, there will be a lottery draw for mid-level superstars.

At the beginning of the new season, he can still be so rich, it all depends on winning the championship.

This summer's substantial progress is supported by a bunch of "resources".

...

"Boom..."

Liu Mang slapped the table in front of Wade hard, and asked, "Dwyane, why didn't you come to practice with LeBron in summer?"

When Wade saw the menacing Liu Mang, he knew that he would not invite this guy to dinner, it was too much!

"This guy is attacking me again! But I also have a boss!"

Wade wanted to find O'Neal, but when he saw McGrady next to Liu Mang, his position was no smaller than that of O'Neill now. Behind Liu Mang was a very strong player from the same company, Iguodala, who just sat down. The scary-looking Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown, who used to be a parallel importer but now has a face paralyzed, and behind McGrady there is also a rough-looking rookie... It seems to call the big brother, Brother will be beaten to death!

There are so many people! Wade was furious in his heart, the big deal... Treat them to a meal to calm down... People who are not so stingy will never be beaten so easily.

"Ace, our manager took us to special training, you know Shaq's weight, Pat was very dissatisfied, so after the Olympics, I have been training with the team, I also want to work with Tracy, Andre , LeBron, Kobe, and Ace, you train together, but there is no way, I will treat you today!" Wade said sincerely.

"You were dragged to devil training by Pat Riley again? You are so pitiful." Liu Mang sympathized with Wade for a few seconds. It is really pitiful to have a general manager like Pat Riley who misuses players. Then I immediately called the waiter to order and ordered a bunch of expensive things.

Watching Liu Mang pick the most expensive pick, Wade didn't care too much. He is very different from a certain No. 1 pick in the same year and the boss of the players in the company in front of him. Ten thousand……

However, Liu Mang is full of sympathy for Wade, but one thing is that Wade has not been trained so hard, and his progress has not been so fast. There is a clear gap between his talent and James. Although James has also practiced hard, But it's definitely not as good as Wade's training by Pat Riley. Pat Riley's devil training has crippled Magician and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar before the finals.

Wade was able to have an ability evaluation of 89 before the start of the second-year season, and he has the same strength as James or even a little stronger, which is inseparable from Pat Riley's devil training.

But on O'Neal's side, Liu Mang felt that it was really miserable, as miserable as it could be, and he didn't even bother to come out for dinner. Originally, Wade called O'Neal to come out together.

Liu Mang paid a moment of silence for Wade and O'Neill, and then continued to choose expensive food. As he ate, he saw McGrady looking at Wade from time to time, his eyes squinted with a hint of brightness.

McGrady... Interested in Wade?

Poor guy...

Wade watched the Eagles pick expensive points one by one, and didn't care too much about it. He was the one who agreed to train with Liu Mang at the beginning, and he broke the appointment.

But while he was eating, Wade suddenly felt a sympathetic look, which disappeared in a flash, and he didn't know where it came from. He felt that the people around him probably knew the sympathetic look he was "blackmailed". ...

After the dinner invited by Wade, Rasheed Wallace took Kwame Brown to play. It is October, and there is still summer heat on the South Coast. If you don’t go out for a wave, the regular season has begun , there is no chance to wave.

Liu Mang and McGrady took Iguodala and Josh Smith, two rookies, back to the hotel. On the way, Liu Mang asked McGrady: "Tracy, have you found an interesting opponent again?"

"Ace, did you see it?" McGrady smiled, and he could guess that Liu Mang might be the one who could see what he was thinking.

"Dwyane is still a second grader..." Liu Mang laughed.

"He is older than you and stronger than you were in the second grade." McGrady was very interested in James and Wade in his rookie year last season. He also scored eight consecutive three-pointers on James and beat Wade. Back then, the team was far inferior to the Heat, and there was nothing to fight. He never beat Wade in a game. Now it's different, he wants to get revenge on Wade.

However, these words reached Liu Mang's ears, so disgusting! Liu Mang said unhappily: "Tracey, don't be so direct, I'm also very good in the second grade."

However, the 2003 generation has good talent, Liu Mang is sure, Wade already has teammates who can make a difference in the playoffs, and maybe he will break through the 90 ability evaluation earlier than James and become a top star, Liu Mang Looking forward to it.

...

By the evening of the second day, the Eagles came to the American Airlines Center for the first game of the preseason.

In the first game or two of the preseason, generally speaking, each team will try to go all out to see what is wrong with the team, especially a newly formed team like the Eagles.

The following games are all used for actual combat tactics, training rookies or role players, and the role of the preseason is probably these.

The arrangement of the coaching staff before the game is obviously towards the goal of winning. Several big insiders are very nervous now, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown, and Mohammed, the insiders have to rely on them to support them , especially for Kwame Brown, the pressure should not be too great! But he is also very motivated now. The coaching staff made it very clear that his performance in the preseason, mainly in the first two games of the preseason, is the key to whether he can sit in the starting position in the regular season.

Muhammad can reach the starting position at any time. If Kwame Brown wants to secure the starting position, he has to rely on his own performance.

Liu Mang also hopes that the team will have this kind of healthy competition. Seeing Kwame Brown full of fighting spirit, he is very satisfied.

Kwame Brown's character is the most troublesome for the team. He is really talented. He gained almost 7 kilograms this year, and his weight reached 117 kilograms. However, his speed and jumping basically did not change. He gained 13 kilograms in two summers. Kg, can still maintain the speed and bounce of the Wizards period, the talent is nothing to say.

But this guy's personality is relatively weak, and he needs to be pressured, but the pressure can't be too much, and he can't be scolded at every turn, otherwise he will become similar to the Wizards period.

His self-confidence must be slowly cultivated. Last season's finals against O'Neal played 12+8 data, which gave him a lot of confidence. That's why the Eagles management sent Ratliff away, just to restore his strength Kwame Brown.

But if he is righted up, he cannot easily sit firmly in the starting position. He must continue to put pressure on him. There is a Muhammad on the team bench who helped the team win 60+ games when he was starting. That is Kwame. - Source of Brown's stress.

Because of the difficulty of raising Kwame Brown, Liu Mang thought of a few people, and couldn't help but think: "High school students are trouble..."

At around 6:40 p.m., Liu Mang led his teammates into the stadium at the American Airlines Center.

Wade was already waiting with his teammates. There was no appearance ceremony in the preseason. Seeing Liu Mang coming in, Wade was full of fighting spirit, but...why did Mao's vest feel cool? Wade didn't see Liu Mang's malice towards him!
