Chapter 928 927. Super Scorer Is the Puzzle Piece of the Championship? (Asking for Monthly Votes)

(Sorry, Xiaofeng is bad at math, I added the wrong numbers before... The wins should be 49 after the Suns... 44 during the All-Star Weekend, and only 49 after the Heat and the four games in five days... I need to brush up on math, where can I find elementary school textbooks?)

...

After the Suns, the Hawks' record improved to 49 wins and 7 losses, and they won 15 consecutive games.

There are only 3 games away from the goal of 18 consecutive wins, and only one game away from becoming the first 50-win team this season.

The Hawks have one last game left in February, 16 games in March, and 9 games in April, leaving 26 games.

After a night's rest, the Hawks traveled back to Atlanta early the next morning.

During the flight, the coaching staff gave the Mavericks' scouting report and some recent Mavericks game clips to the players. There was no training today, and the players were told to rest well and not to do too much because of the long time away from the away game.

This is not a problem for the players of the Hawks who are now striving for consecutive championships. For example, Jason Terry, if it was before Liu Mang came to the Hawks, he would have been partying every night, but after having the opportunity to compete for the championship, his private life has naturally become more disciplined.

Needless to say, the first and second graders are now in the critical stage of competing for playing time. The Hawks have two draft picks this year. With the Hawks' draft vision, there may be two competitors who will bring huge threats. It is hard to say who will be eliminated and who will be able to secure a rotation position next season.

After getting off the plane, Liu Mang drove back home. He endured the impatience of wanting to quickly know the reference target given by the system to strengthen, and took the ball to the basketball court in the backyard to practice shooting.

Triggered quickly, the off-ball offense is completely liberated, and shooting must be practiced more accurately.

After practicing mid-range shots, turnaround jump shots, fadeaway jump shots, etc. for an entire afternoon, Liu Mang watched cartoons with Dina in the evening. After Dina went to bed, Liu Mang returned to his room and patiently browsed the forum, but he didn't even feel like opening a small account to have fun.

Finally, at 10:27, the system prompt came.

"Ding... The training reference directory for the road to super giants has been calculated. The host has 3 most suitable optional development directions."

So many? Liu Mang opened the training section and saw the training reference directory for the road to super giants.

"Direction 1: All-around players, reduce the shooting percentage, increase the breakthrough layup percentage, increase the passing percentage, and enhance rebounding ability. Reference templates: Russell Westbrook, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Tracy McGrady."

Seeing Direction 1, Liu Mang immediately rejected this development direction.

Let's not talk about improving rebounding ability. He has tried his best to grab rebounds and make up for the decline in rebounding after Rahim became McGrady. He has tried his best. If he wants to improve rebounding, his speed will inevitably decrease, and he may have to train his teammates to help him block positions.

The main reason why Liu Mang rejected this development direction is that he and McGrady are now responsible for scoring, occasionally organizing, and the other is responsible for defense and organizing offense. The cooperation has been very good. It is good to be versatile and get a triple-double, but it is hard to break the strongest backcourt that is compatible?

And this template is also enough. Some are okay, but Liu Mang feels that if he develops in that direction, unless there are top stars who swear to play in Los Angeles, otherwise his helpers may run away.

Liu Mang opens direction 2.

"Direction 2: Offensive engine players, reduce the shooting ratio, take shooting as the first choice, launch offensive organization, and enhance the ability to pass the ball after holding the ball pick-and-roll. Reference templates: Steve Nash, John Stockton, Jose Calderon, Mike Bibby."

Liu Mang felt that this was to make him develop in the direction of Nash? Calderon has been surpassed by Liu Mang, so he uses the extreme deluxe version of Calderon as a template?

Since Liu Mang's ability evaluation does not take defense into account, it is calculated based on the league average defense evaluation of 70, so Liu Mang's ability evaluation is similar to Steve Nash. Nash is poor at defense and has a positive and hard-working attitude, but with someone helping him clean up his mess in the Mavericks, he is at most average. The system determines that Nash's positive defensive attitude has a defense evaluation of 70, which means that he will at least not become a black hole when he arrives at a team with a defensive system, which is very similar to Korver.

In fact, Nash is a white man with enthusiasm, physical strength and average explosive power, which is not bad. When he joined the Suns, he had no defense at all. Nash's defense was particularly bad, and everyone exploded. In fact, he was very enthusiastic about blocking and defending, but he didn't have a good defensive environment like the Mavericks, so he was bad to the end. In fact, not only Nash's defense was bad in the Suns, but the defense of the other four positions of the Suns was so bad except Marion.

Who would want to be an organizer when they can be Jordan or Zhang Liangwan! Liu Mang thought that it was not easy to fool McGrady... No, it was not easy to give McGrady a perfect development direction, so that he didn't have to compete with Kobe, Iverson, and such a powerful scorer as himself for the scoring title. Of course, as the boss of the team, this difficult thing had to be undertaken by Xiaoye himself. McGrady just had to honestly compete with Nash and Kidd for the assists title, and Xiaoye would definitely help him find many teammates who could score by receiving the ball.

Liu Mang put his expectation on the last direction.

"Direction 3: Super scoring puzzle player. Reduce the proportion of holding the ball in regular time, increase the proportion of running without the ball, enhance the ability to catch and shoot, and enhance the ability to hold the ball and play one-on-one at critical moments. Reference template: Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant."

Seeing this, it fits the development line that Liu Mang wants.

However, the name of this development direction is puzzle player?

I am just a puzzle player?

Whether it is an all-around player or an offensive engine player, they are all core players. Super scorers are just puzzles?

Jordan, Little Blacksmith, and Durant are all puzzles?

Liu Mang felt that his IQ was insulted!

"Ding... Take Kobe Bryant as an example. During Kobe Bryant's championship, the Los Angeles Lakers made tactics around him, but the starting point of the tactics was Pau Gasol, Shaquille O'Neal, or Rick Fox. Kobe Bryant was the scorer around the core of the tactics."

After this explanation, Liu Mang could accept it. However, if O'Neal was the starting point of the tactics... Liu Mang thought of O'Neal's average of three assists per game during his peak period with the Lakers, and there were many passing situations. He was really the starting point of the tactics, and Kobe was often the first shooter.

This makes O'Neal's strength even more exaggerated!

After Liu Mang looked at the three development directions, although the third development direction was in line with his ideas, he was a little hesitant when it came to choosing.

Liu Mang unknowingly became an "alternative" point guard and became a pure scorer.

It's too difficult for a pure scorer to become a superstar! Whether it's Iverson, Kobe or McGrady, they are not just pure scorers. They may have good defense, good passing, or both father and mother in their playing style.

Liu Mang remembers that before the three-point era began, the superstar who was closest to a pure scorer was Kevin Durant, but Durant's shooting in that era was not the same as now. Using three-pointers as a comparison, in the Universe Warriors era, the number of NBA players who averaged at least two three-pointers per game was 50 in the league. This season, Liu Mang has checked that there are 15 players who average more than two three-pointers per game.

Now that the defense of the outside line cannot be done well, it is a bit freer. In the peak year of defense last season, only 9 players averaged at least two three-pointers per game.

Although the defense cannot be done well this season, the body can still be used to compress the space for outside shooting, and it is not so easy to foul. If the opponent does not open his arms, does not jump up, or the open arms are consciously avoided, it is useless for Liu Mang to rub against him.

The probability of being called for a foul when defending three-pointers is low, and the three-point shooting opportunities of players shooting three-pointers will be relatively worse.

Rules are also a very important aspect of strength.

There is also the overall environment. There are basically no three-pointers as the main scorers now. It can be said that there are no three-pointers at all. Ray Allen averaged 24 points per game, and only 9.9 points were scored from three-pointers.

And Stephen Curry, who will be the scoring champion in the future, averaged 30.1 points per game in the season, and made 5.1 three-pointers per game, accounting for more than 50% of his three-pointers. If you subtract free throws, Curry only got 10 points from layups or mid-range shots. The situation is completely different.

With the development of the league, the overall three-pointers of the league will get better and better. In the 2014-2015 season when the Warriors opened the three-point era, the number of players who averaged more than two three-pointers per game almost doubled compared to now. Curry is the most dazzling one among them, promoting the further development of three-pointers. Even without Curry, the league's rules are increasingly conducive to outside offense, and one day the three-point era will come.

Liu Mang thought about this and understood something. If he chose to develop in the direction of the championship puzzle and wanted to become a superstar, he had to aim to surpass Durant's three-point ability, Jordan's mid-range shooting ability, and Kobe's obsession with daring to throw...

It's really difficult! Among these three people, Durant is a little worse and has no defensive honors, while the other two are defensive masters in history. Of course, the strength of those two in their peak period is far more than the 95 superstar dividing line.

It's a difficult development direction. Liu Mang hesitated for a moment and just did it!

Now is his golden period of progress. Whether it is Kobe, Jordan or James, they all reached the level of superstars at the age of 24 or 25. He still has a few years, and when they become superstars in their 24 or 25 years, their offense alone is probably not as good as he is now. Liu Mang thought about it and his confidence came back.

Just tough!

As for comprehensive development, it's not too late to consider it when the offense is fully developed.

"System boss, I choose the third one!"

"Ding... The host chooses the super giant development direction as the puzzle-type tactical end point. The abilities that need to be improved are: mid-range shooting, abdominal strength, running to receive the ball and adjusting before shooting, using teammates to get rid of defense..."

Liu Mang looked at it and found that there were many things to improve!

The "asterisk" is the improvement of abdominal strength.

Liu Mang has good waist and back strength, and he practices a lot in normal times. This is the key to core strength.

But relatively speaking, abdominal strength is rarely used except when jumping and pulling the bar.

Not many players will throw themselves into the air first, and Liu Mang is the same. He prefers to use footsteps to deal with the opponent's inside line.

And there are very few players who throw themselves into the air and then do the action, so most teams do not require abdominal muscle curves, just enough confrontation. Abdominal muscles cannot increase confrontation, and are relatively more difficult to train among all muscles. Most players' abdominal muscles look average, including James and Wade, who can only be said to be okay, and cannot be compared with Iguodala's body control.

On the contrary, Ray Allen's muscle group does not look big, but the abdominal muscle lines are very clear.

Before Hedou Bibi got fat, his abdominal muscles were also very strong, because they used a lot of fadeaway jumpers.

Liu Mang rarely used fadeaway jumpers and would not actively seek fadeaway jumpers. He was okay for close-range fadeaway jumpers, but whether he could make a long-range fadeaway jumper or not depended on whether he was lucky enough.

The main reason is that the abdominal muscles are not used as much as the waist and back. Liu Mang's long-range turnaround jumper is stable enough, but the abdominal strength to assist the shot after taking off is not enough, so the long-range fadeaway is a bit worse.

Liu Mang himself had discovered this before, but his idea was to practice slowly, and he could use his abdominal muscles when practicing fadeaway jump shots, and he would naturally practice them.

But now the system has prompted the importance of abdominal muscles, so it is not a big problem to actively practice this part, it is just a little more tiring.

But since he is young, how can he not fight!

After playing for a few years, Liu Mang has almost lost his ability to survive after leaving basketball. Basketball is not only a profession, but also a part of his life. After retiring in the future, if he wants to have a good start in investment or other fields, it is necessary to create his own greatness in the field of basketball.

Like Kobe, after retiring, he just proposed an idea, and someone helped him make animations, and he also won an Oscar. After retiring, Magic Johnson ran a chain of restaurants, which also relied on the fame of basketball.

If you work hard when you are young, you can live a better life in the future!

Now that he has children and a stable family, Liu Mang plays basketball not only for himself, not only for those three girls, but also for his future children!

Training shooting, improving the muscle groups of the waist, abdomen and back core strength, and further strengthening the running ability, so as to better utilize the off-ball ability bonus brought by the two skills of fast shooting master and speed.

None of Liu Mang's offensive skills are the best in the league, but most of his offensive means are in the top ten or even top five outside shots. He does not have too many killer moves. Three-pointers are one, but the current rules allow him to use three-pointers more for breakthroughs. The average of 9 three-point shots per game is also very high, but compared with his average of 27.2 shots per game, it only accounts for about one-third, and there is still an essential difference from Curry's average of 20 shots and 11.2 three-point shots per game in the future.

If Liu Mang is still playing in that era, he may be like that, but now he throws like that... He is worried that he will be strangled to death by Coach Kruger...

Liu Mang now has three-pointers, mid-range shots, and breakthrough layups. Although each ability is not the strongest, there are Ray Allen and Nash in three-pointers, McGrady, Kobe, Nash, Nowitzki in mid-range shots... A lot of people are better than him, and there are many who are better than him in breakthroughs, but he is the best shooter.

He is good at using his teammates. He will not worry about not being able to grab the boss position and drive his teammates away because they are strong. He also has the skills given by the system to steal other people's strengths by digitizing the system data. He actively looks for ways to use skills and uses the physical potion, which he thinks is the best system item besides the injury potion, to actively develop more abilities... and so on. Being good at using all the people and things that can be used is the key to Liu Mang's current performance!

Sorry for being a few minutes late. I don't know what dirty thing I ate. I have diarrhea all the time. I finally got relief after taking medicine. Please vote for the monthly ticket and the recommendation ticket~ I will continue tomorrow. Good night~!
