Chapter 1032 1031. The apprentice is too smart to teach (seeking a monthly ticket)

Stronger than Magic Johnson, the assists king in history, he averaged 10+ assists per game, and at least three or four of his teammates averaged 3+ assists per game.

The only season in which the Magician successfully defended the title, in addition to Magic himself being the assist leader, and the then Lakers scoring leader Byron Scott averaged 4.1 assists per game, the best defensive player Michael Cooper averaged 4.7 assists per game, James Worthy averaged 3.9 assists per game, backup point guard Wes Matthews averaged 2.7 assists per game, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others averaged about 1 assist per game. - Riley grass to the point of injury after another, but the Lakers averaged close to 30 assists that season.

The same is true for Stockton. When he won the assists title, Hornacek, Karl Malone, and Jane Humphries all averaged 3+ assists per game.

In the first quarter, the Eagles had a total of 7 assists, which looked very good. Based on 48 minutes, 28 assists in one game.

However, 7 of the 6 assists belonged to Liu Mang, and the team's possession of the ball was too concentrated!

Defense, the original foundation of the Eagles, is still the team's basic defense. At this time, it played an important role, helping the Eagles to bite the score.

In the second quarter, Coach Kruger asked Stockton, who also saw something wrong, to stop talking, and asked Liu Mang to go up and fight by himself, so that Liu Mang could feel the difference between what he said and what he did.

In the second quarter of the game, the depressed Liu Mang still wanted to continue to "organize the offense" and help his teammates score, showing that it was true that he was determined to let his teammates "participate" in the offense.

However, in the past, Liu Mang had a lot of situations that others did not seem to be opportunities, but in his eyes they were opportunities. He made a lot of shots, and he made them with a good hit rate.

This kind of ball is the ball planet, the ball that ordinary players can't or dare not shoot, Liu Mang dares to shoot, and the Eagles need Liu Mang to make such a shot, so that Liu Mang can attract more double-teams.

But now that Liu Mang seldom throws a lot of these shots, the threat has been greatly reduced all of a sudden.

Especially Baron Davis, an excellent organizational point guard, confirmed from the first half of the first quarter that Liu Mang played very strangely today, and led his teammates to try to contain Liu Mang's style of play in the second half of the first quarter. After confirming that Liu Mang has become Blevin Knight's statistic style of play today, he continued to lead his teammates to defend against Liu Mang in the second quarter.

After the second quarter, the Warriors scored 24 points in the second quarter. It is not so easy to contain the scoring of the Warriors who have been bombarded. It is difficult for the Warriors to score no more than 49 points in a game. The Warriors scored [-] points in the half.

As for the Hawks, Liu Mang played the entire first half, scoring 6 points on 3 of 7 shots, 10 assists and 3 rebounds. The assists were soaring, but the Hawks only scored 45 points in the half!Overtaken by the Warriors by 4 points!

Liu Mang wants to make a "good start" in front of his teammates too much. He wants to quickly enter the "Assist King" mode. If you look at the data, it will be easy. As long as you keep holding the ball, with the play style of the second brother who is the god of touch porcelain in his mind, you can easily win the assist king.

However, it does more harm than good for the team!

That is to say, the Eagles defended well so that they did not fall behind too much at halftime.

It has nothing to do with whether Liu Mang is stronger or weaker than a No. 0 player who allows his teammates to rebound more offensively than backcourt. This style of play is wrong.

The assist king often does not pass the ball for the purpose of collecting assists. Otherwise, with Nash's passing ability and scoring threat, if he can complete the second pass regardless of the record, team chemistry, and teammates last season, he will only pass to teammates who can shoot directly. It is easy to overtake McGrady, but he did not.

Liu Mang's style of play is destructive to the team's offense. The Eagles can hold the score tightly because Liu Mang is only obsessed with assists and doesn't think about rebounds. He defends well, otherwise he will not even have a chance to catch up with the score by defense.

When Liu Mang made up his mind and decided to give priority to passing the ball, his mentality changed. Now Liu Mang was thinking about assists, which delayed the team instead.

Liu Mang played too calmly, but too calmly. He wanted to find open teammates every time he attacked, but the opponent didn’t give him a chance to pass the ball, preferring to give him a chance to score. He was too calm and wanted to pass the ball to his teammates instead of shooting when he needed him to shoot. The assists rose, but his teammates stagnated.

It's not that the teammates scored less, but that the less teammates passed the ball to Liu Mang. Without Liu Mang's score, the Eagles only scored 45 points in the half!

……

Back in the locker room, Liu Mang sat depressed and silent. In fact, in the second half of the second quarter, he gradually realized something. But at that time, he was in the game and outsiders could see it clearly, but the coaching staff didn't remind him. They wanted to teach him a lesson.

Liu Mang thought about it for a while, and realized that he was really not a competent point guard, and his means of organizing offense were too simple!

It’s not bad to be single. Liu Mang can do well if he plays with one shot, four steals and pinch points, but he can’t do well if he wants to organize an offense with few points like Tracy McGrady, Calderon, and Iguodala.

During the rest time after halftime, Liu Mang figured out the predicament he encountered in the first half.

"Fortunately, I have a smart head, and I figured it out right away, unlike the king of the sewer." Liu Mang was intoxicated by his own IQ.

After being intoxicated for two seconds, Liu Mang immediately went to McGrady and Stockton. The advantage of him is that he is willing to ask questions without shame. He can have the cheek to ask for advice from a small blacksmith, let alone a teammate.

McGrady was talking to Stockton at this time, and McGrady didn't understand. He rested in the second half of the first quarter. As an outsider, he could see that something was wrong with Liu Mang, but Stockton told him not to tell Liu Mang.

While McGrady was discussing this matter with Stockton, Liu Mang came.

"Tracey, John, I have a question, how did you connect your teammates together?" Liu Mang asked straight to the point.

When McGrady saw Liu Mang coming, he wanted to talk to Liu Mang about it directly, but he didn't want to worry about what the coaching staff said, don't tell Liu Mang, let Liu Mang suffer for himself.

But when he heard Liu Mang's question, McGrady thought for a while and said, "That's it, make a breakthrough, pass it, and whichever teammate you think has the best chance to pass it on will do."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang and Stockton were speechless.

Seeing that Liu Mang discovered his problem so quickly, Stockton was very relieved and happy, but was left speechless by McGrady's words.

Stockton has seen many outstanding young point guards. In order to get assists and show their "selflessness", those point guards reduce their shots and pass more.

Passing the ball more is not a bad thing, but many young players pass the ball too deliberately and fail to grasp their own opportunities. It is better not to pass the ball but to shoot by themselves.

And this kind of thing, it is difficult for many young players to understand by themselves, unless someone teaches them, but young people are often overconfident and dismissive of the guidance of the team's veterans.

This is why Stockton did not take the initiative to remind Liu Mang after listening to Coach Kruger's instructions.

But Stockton is still very worried, Liu Mang's mind is very strong!

But the surprise is that Liu Mang figured it out so quickly, and even took the initiative to ask.

Stockton ignored Medina's angry words, and said to Liu Mang: "Ace, do you remember that I told you that getting assists is incidental, as a ball holder, as a player who organizes offense, if you have a chance, you must shoot!"

In the past, Liu Mang got assists when he passed the ball. Even in the season before McGrady came here, he averaged more than [-] assists per game. He did not pass the ball for the purpose of getting assists, but his teammates were in a good position.

In the past, when passing the ball, teammates received the ball in a good position. After getting the ball, there was a chance to shoot or set a second pass. The team's offense could run smoothly. Now even if Iguodala and Tracy McGrady are on the court, they always receive the ball and go straight to the layup, otherwise the ball will not be received.

More importantly, Liu Mang had a problem with his own shooting. He missed many shots that were his "opportunities" to shoot, which made his teammates uncomfortable.

Generally speaking, one-on-one in the middle distance, no one is double-teaming, Liu Mang will shoot six or seven times out of ten when he has the ball in his hand. His teammates know that it is time to grab a rebound in that situation, but now, his teammates don't know what to do!

Both Stockton and McGrady saw this clearly. Stockton couldn't say it. McGrady saw it but didn't know what to say. Maybe Iguodala and Calderon saw it too, but they didn't dare to say it.

Just like No. 0 Thunderbolt Blue's unique status in the team, only McGrady dared to speak out among the Eagles' players who organized offense well, but McGrady didn't know what to say, and the coaching staff told him not to even remind him.

"Shoot by yourself? What about passing? How do teammates get involved?" Liu Mang was still confused.

"Organizing an offense is not an easy task. Tracy played for a year last season before he gradually got the hang of it. Ace, you should maintain your own style of play and observe your teammates more. You don't necessarily need your teammates to have a chance to pass. Didn't you do a good job in the previous games this season?" Stockton said a little depressed, and his tone became more serious.

Stockton thought Liu Mang was smart just now, but now he feels that Liu Mang is sometimes too stubborn.

As the coach of the coaching staff who most strongly supports Liu Mang's idea of ​​doing things, it is because he saw Liu Mang's style of play in the preseason and the first few games of the season, and he would pass the ball when his teammates were able to pass and shoot.

Stockton felt that when he cooperated with Liu Mang in the first year, Liu Mang shot so many shots and averaged a few assists per game. He did a good job. Why is it like this now?

Liu Mang is also in pain, how to find a balance between them?There are so many teammates who can hold the ball and score, how can they be used reasonably?

Liu Mang felt that McGrady sacrificed a lot last season...wait, that guy...maybe only played a few games before he knew what to do.

Liu Mang became even more depressed.

Seeing Liu Mang's tangled look, Stockton thought about how to give Liu Mang some advice. If Liu Mang realized his problem after a game, or didn't realize his problem at all, Stockton still had enough time to analyze and organize the language, but now the time is too short. Sometimes the apprentice is too smart, and the teacher has not even planned the lessons.

Stockton thought of a temporary solution: "Ace, keep it simple, don't just think about doing one thing, relax your mind, don't just think about passing, shooting is also very important."

Stockton is so depressed!I didn't expect that one day I would encourage a point guard to shoot more and let a point guard pass less!
