Chapter 944 943. Ability Rating 93! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

On April 17, Liu Mang was participating in various team and personal activities, and the Wizards had already arrived in Atlanta.

Atlanta officially entered the atmosphere of the playoffs, but the fans were very "enthusiastic" about the Wizards, and many fans went to "pick them up at the airport".

They did not boo or scold the Wizards, and even cheered because they came...

Since last season, the Wizards have never beaten the Hawks. Counting the 02-03 season, the Hawks currently have 10 consecutive wins against the Wizards! It is so happy for Hawks fans to sweep them against the Wizards in the regular season for two consecutive years.

In the eyes of Hawks fans, what suspense is there in such a series? Drink a little wine and watch the game, and it will be another big win when you are drunk!

Not only Hawks fans, but also the first round matchups predicted by the media, only the Hawks series is written as the Hawks will beat the Wizards 100%. The celebrities invited by T.N.T voted, and the celebrities of 16 playoff teams this year voted together, all of which wrote that the Hawks beat the Wizards 4-0. Even Wizards legend Elvin Hayes voted that the Hawks beat the Wizards 4-0.

This series is the least suspenseful.

The Pistons vs. 76ers and the Suns vs. Grizzlies are both suspenseful, and the Magic vs. Nets and the Rockets vs. Mavericks are regarded as the two most suspenseful series in the East and West.

The playoff strength rankings of major media were announced one after another on the afternoon of the 17th.

The top three rankings are basically the same, with the defending champion Hawks ranking first, the San Antonio Spurs second, and the Phoenix Suns third. Almost all the lists are like this.

The Heat, Pistons, Supersonics, Nets, Rockets, and Mavericks ranked differently from fourth to ninth, and are considered second-tier teams. In general, the Heat and Pistons are ranked higher.

The remaining Kings, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Bulls, Magic, and 76ers ranked tenth to fifteenth, and the Wizards were in the only tier, sixteenth.

Such a ranking made the Wizards players who arrived in Atlanta very angry, but they could do nothing about it.

They met the bitter Hawks, so even if they ranked second, what was the point?

After the Wizards arrived in Atlanta, the league announced the playoff schedule in the afternoon.

The first four games of the series between the Hawks and the Wizards were on the 19th, 21st, 24th, and 26th, respectively. If there is a fifth game, it will be on the 28th.

On the night when the schedule was announced, a tall man wearing a hoodie, sunglasses and a mask, who was estimated to be 1.9 meters tall, appeared outside the Phillips Arena, staring blankly at the arena that was to be renovated in the summer. The security guards at the Phillips Arena have become accustomed to it. Every year, a few people come here to cover their faces and stare blankly...

After participating in the charity event, Liu Mang can finally take a good rest and have a good sleep. Tomorrow he will start team training, and the day after tomorrow will be the day of the playoffs.

After two busy days, he finally finished his off-court work as a player, and then he will devote himself to the playoffs.

Liu Mang looked at the prompts of the tasks that were completed in the past two days.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the legendary mission: Scoring King. Reward: One talent skill fragment."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Scoring King branch mission: The beginning of an epic scorer duel. Reward special card: Shooting epiphany."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Scoring King branch mission: A man who can score more than God. Reward Michael Jordan's 1986-1987 season star card."

"Congratulations to the host for completing the Scoring King branch mission: Surpass Rick Barry. Reward Rick Barry's 1974-1975 version of the star card."

"Congratulations to the host for reaching the playoffs. Career mission: The road to the king has been connected. Continue to complete in four years. The host's team has 68 wins, surpassing the last place in the playoffs by 26 wins, and rewarded 26,000 superstar points. "

"Season goal: the beginning of the run-and-gun era. Mission goal 1: The host's team must get the first place in the NBA's average points ranking in the regular season, which has been achieved. Mission goal 2: Get the 2004-2005 regular season MVP, the award is to be announced. Mission goal 3: Help Tracy McGrady get the 2004-2005 season assists king, which has been achieved. Mission completion (2/3). "

Two star cards are in hand!

The most important one is the star card of Jordan's first peak period, that is, the peak period of personal data, the third-year Jordan!

Liu Mang tried the star card of Jordan in the first year. Although he didn't get the Nets, it also made him better at controlling the timing of breakthroughs.

"Michael Jordan 1986-1987 version: ability rating 99, offense 99, defense 93, three-pointer 50, mid-range shot 92, layup 105, speed 93, strength 89..."

Looked at Jordan's ability rating in the third grade... This is the ability rating of the third grade after the sophomore fracture was written off. Liu Mang wanted to ask which building was taller...

"Rick Barry 1974-1975 version, ability rating 91, offense 94, defense 80, three-pointer none, mid-range shot 90, layup 94, free throw 99, speed 87, strength 90..."

Barry here... three-pointer none...

The main reason was that there were no three-pointers in that era...

If there were three-point lines in those days, with Barry's shooting touch, although his movements were not good-looking, he would definitely be able to practice a good three-pointer. He was once the king of free throw shooting! Now he is also the second free throw master among players who average more than 3 free throws per game in history. Except for the Cavaliers legend Mark Price, no one is better than Barry in free throws.

Barry's star card... Liu Mang thought about it and thought about it. He could use it to experience... the feeling of holding a urinal?

Decisively banished it to the cold palace...

For Liu Mang, in addition to the talent skill fragments, the most important thing is not the more than 20,000 superstar points, nor the two star cards, but the special card of shooting epiphany!

"Special card: Shooting epiphany: Function: All-round shooting ability +1; How to use: In three to six hours of uninterrupted comprehensive shooting training, increase muscle fitness, shooting muscle memory and shooting stability. After completing the training, all-round shooting ability +1."

This is good!

Liu Mang has been waiting for a long time!

After the regular season, Liu Mang, who had been training continuously, finally raised his right-handed mid-range shooting ability to 89, and was about to break through 90. However, there was a huge gap between 89 and 90. There were only a handful of players in NBA history who could break through 90 in mid-range shooting ability. Just like three-point shooting, some players had first-class three-point shooting ability of 89 at a young age, and they were the strongest among first-class three-point shooters, but they could not break through 90 until they retired.

This requires not only hard work, but also talent.

However, Liu Mang had a question...

"System boss, this shooting epiphany... can the left hand also practice it?"

"Ding... The host chooses six hours of non-stop comprehensive shooting training, and all-round shooting ability can be improved a little."

Six hours...

You must be exhausted! Even if you have physical potions, you must starve or die of thirst!

Liu Mang immediately contacted the coaching staff and trainers, and tomorrow morning at six o'clock, a surprise shooting training for the playoffs will be carried out...

At this time, the system's playoff task came.

"Ding...Title mission triggered: Ashton."

"Ashton: The host needs to lead the team to sweep the Washington Wizards 4-0. Mission reward: Title: Ashton, the fans in Washington, DC are more obsessed with the host than the Wizards."

Ashton...

Another American nickname.

It's still a little bit unpleasant.

But this one is more attractive to Liu Mang than the two titles after defeating the Bulls and the Pistons!

Although the Wizards' market is average, they are in the capital of the United States! Conquering the fans in the capital of the United States...Just thinking about it is exciting!

It's a pity that the Wizards are too weak and there is no reward...

...

...

"Ace is crazy, I feel like I'm going to lose half a pound today!" After passing the ball to Liu Mang for half an hour, Emmanuel rested breathlessly on the side. After resting for half an hour, he had to replace another trainer who was passing the ball to Liu Mang to rest.

"What happened to Ace? I remember he had already started training when I first came here. Is he still training now?" McGrady asked curiously. He arrived at the gym at 8:30 to discuss tactics with Stockton. It was already 11:30 this time, and Liu Mang was still training.

"Ace arrived at 5:00! When I arrived at the gym at 5:50, he had already finished warming up. So far, he has not rested except for eating hamburgers and drinking electrolyte water for 10 minutes!" Emmanuel cried out miserably.

"Coach, is Ace crazy?" McGrady was frightened by Liu Mang's crazy training. His own training lasted no more than two hours.

"Let him go. He said he wanted to do some intensive training for the playoffs and conduct targeted training for his lack of shooting ability..." Coach Kruger had a headache.

Fortunately, the opponent in the first round was the Wizards. Even if Liu Mang didn't play, he could still pin the opponent to the ground.

Practicing for six hours a day is not a particularly difficult thing, but Liu Mang has been practicing shooting for four and a half hours in a row. Coach Kruger is scared, but Liu Mang is getting more and more excited. It is not the kind of strength training or breakthrough, running and other training that may cause injuries. He just catches the ball and shoots, and alternates between left and right hands. In other words, the burden is not that great, so Coach Kruger lets Liu Mang be happy.

If Liu Mang's shooting ability can be a little stronger, it will be great for the team.

…

Liu Mang, who keeps shooting, feels that his body is numb. Every time he shoots, he feels like his body is moving and his muscles are exerting force.

This feeling is the meaning of "sudden enlightenment" in this special card. As he practiced, Liu Mang felt that he couldn't stop shooting. When he was tired, he took a physical potion and drank half a cup of Gatorade after a set of practice...

Shooting again and again, five directions, three points in each direction, a total of fifteen shooting points, 50 shots for each point, 50 shots for each hand, two seconds per shot on average, a set of shooting is about 55 minutes, drink water, slow down, exactly one hour a set.

Finally, at noon, except for eating and drinking water, the whole morning, almost non-stop shooting 9,000 times, the use requirements of the special card "shooting epiphany", finally completed!

Liu Mang fell to the floor gasping for breath, the training was finally over!

The physical therapist who had been prepared for a long time came up and put on the yoga mat, let Liu Mang move on, and then began to give Liu Mang physical therapy.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing six sets, 15 points, and 50 times for each point of extreme shooting training for the left and right hands within six hours, and reaching the conditions for use of the special card: Shooting Epiphany. Consume a special card: Shooting Epiphany, one physical function Under repair…”

He didn't know whether it was the massage from the physiotherapist or the effect of this special card. Liu Mang felt sore all over his body, a sore but comfortable feeling of exploding muscles...

After half an hour of physical therapy massage and ice compress, the system prompt came!

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for his all-round shooting ability +1.

Right hand: 92 three-pointers, 90 mid-range shots, and 93 layups.

Left hand: 77 three-pointers, 71 mid-range shots, and 91 layups. "

"Ding... Congratulations on the host's comprehensive ability evaluation rising to 93."

The ability evaluation of shooting measurements all exceeded 90, which raised Liu Mang's overall ability evaluation to 93!

So far this season, his ability evaluation has improved by three points, which is faster than Liu Mang's impression of Kobe Bryant's improvement in the 01-02 and 2002-03 seasons!

The ability evaluation of 94 is just a little bit away from the limit of top stars.

This slight difference is due to the limitation of physical talent. If Liu Mang's physical talent could be better, with his shooting ability and skills, he would already be a superstar.

Liu Mang's speed is no problem, but bounce and strength are big problems.

Now Liu Mang's strength and jumping are improved to this level by relying on kung fu cards and attribute fruits.

Considering the inherent disadvantages of yellow people in terms of explosive power and jumping, which are not as good as flexibility and speed, Liu Mang is already the top physical fitness among yellow people. For example, most black people are not bad, but compared with Black men with top physical fitness, such as Kobe and Wade, are much worse.

Liu Mang's current performance is all due to his technique, skills and most importantly, his brain, his self-proclaimed handsomeness, and the reasonable use of his teammates to perform like a superstar.

A little girl who was annoying when advertising was once said that she wouldn't click on anything...

Limited by his body, he will not be able to maintain speed and flexibility if he exercises strength, so he can only rely on the attribute fruits of the system. This makes Liu Mang more motivated to win two consecutive championships and obtain advanced strength fruits to improve his strength. !

Just raise your strength rating to at least 85!

The all-round improvement in strength will make Liu Mang more capable in performing various techniques.

Whether it is Liu Mang or the Eagles, there is only one goal for this season - the championship!

Any other result is unacceptable to them, and they cannot even afford it.

If Raheem is replaced by Tracy McGrady, who has not yet won the championship in assists, he will definitely be criticized. Both the team management and McGrady will be attacked. However, the Eagles management cannot explain it yet and cannot say that Rahim is wanted by them. If he leaves, then where will McGrady's face go? Although the contract extension has been almost negotiated, the formal signing has not yet come.

Moreover, Liu Mang had to leave a good impression of the management's "human touch".

After the coaching staff had a tactical discussion in the morning with Tracy McGrady, Calderon, Rasheed Wallace, and Iguodala, the core passers who were supporting the ball, the team trained in the afternoon, and Liu Mang was arranged to sit down and rest. , others practice tactics.

The next day, April 19th, the series between the Hawks and Wizards was about to begin in the evening!

After the tactical training in the morning, there was rest time in the afternoon, when the players studied the opponents they had to deal with. After the training, Liu Mang called his teammates together and held a simple player meeting.

"The playoffs are about to start tonight. We have worked hard for six months. It has been almost seven months since training camp. We have won the first place in the regular season. Next, our goal is still first place in the playoffs. The first is the championship. Winning is our only goal. Apart from the championship, I don’t think it’s just me or any of us can accept any other result! "Liu Mang said simply and directly! A championship declaration was made.

Jason Terry yelled in unison: "For the championship!"

Liu Mang's power as a leader and Jason Terry's cooperation suddenly ignited the passion of his teammates.

"For the championship!" The Eagles' enthusiasm for winning the championship filled the training ground!
