Chapter 1037 1036. Don't change such an ugly shooting posture?
Liu Mang violently abused Felton, which caused a sensation, and Jordan's vision for selecting candidates was once again questioned.
Jordan, who is far away in Charlotte, wanted to cry watching the news on the Internet: Why are all the players I draft like this?No!It's not about my vision, Kwame is playing very well, it's just that the team is not suitable for...
And Felton is really not bad, but Paul is too dazzling, making Felton look very ordinary, but only average, not to the extent of water.
Jordan firmly believed in his own vision, and the fans found him a suitable reason.
Jordan now regrets not choosing Chris Paul. Even if he firmly believes in his own vision, he can see that Paul and Felton are not the same level of stars. Paul is a player who is going to become a superstar.
But who knew at the time!Paul’s predicted pick is around fifth. His performance in March Madness has been poor. In 04, he was knocked out by Nelson in the first round. In the second round of 05, he only scored 30 points and 22 assists on 9 shots. He was eliminated again. The comments from the media and experts were very consistent.
Choosing Paul was a gamble. Felton, who counterattacked and won the NCAA championship all the way without being favored, was the most favored among the three point guards at the time.
And Felton is the star of the local university in Charlotte, who else could Jordan choose if he didn't choose him?
Therefore, Jordan chose to believe the arguments of the fans and the media, thinking that Liu Mang did not choose Paul because he was upset.
Jordan hated in his heart: "This kid, didn't you just let you earn a little less commission? Didn't I recommend Chris to sign with my brand? As for abusing Raymond so much?"
……
……
On the second day after winning the ten-game winning streak, Liu Mang went for a run with Little Lolita in the morning. After taking a shower, he checked the forum first. He saw that he abused Felton and continued to dominate the top trending posts. All kinds of speculations came out. The mainstream one was that he was upset that Jordan did not choose Paul.
This made Liu Mang very ashamed, Jordan is not a generous person!
Liu Mang estimated that the next time he meets this teacher, the other party will not have a good face.
But things have come to this, what can be done!
Liu Mang turned on the system and looked at the star card, and there was an extra Felton's card, which is better than nothing, at least he didn't have [-] superstar points deducted.
The point is that new mission!
"Natural position suppression: The 2005 NBA draft is a rare year for point guards. The host needs to prove that he is not only the best point guard in the NBA now, but also the best point guard in the NBA for many years to come. Mission goal 1: Find the identity of the NBA's number one point guard in people's minds. Mission reward: A random star card for point guards who are active first-class players and above. Mission goal 2: Make rookie point guards feel that the host is unmatched. Mission reward: To be determined."
The natal position is suppressed. After reading the introduction later, Liu Mang knew why this mission came.
There are many point guards and combo guards selected in 2005, and they are all the ones who can play for many years.
In addition to the three brothers with the second to fourth picks, there are Nate Robinson, Jarrett Jack, Louis Williams, Monta Ellis and others.
So many talented point guards or combo guards are rare in NBA history.
However, mission goal 1 made Liu Mang feel quite depressed. Not only did the system think so, but the fans also thought that Liu Mang was not a competent point guard. He scored too many points and even averaged 3 assists per game in a single season.
This task can be regarded as supporting the previous task of getting the assist king.
Liu Mang is one of the top three players in the league. Now no one will doubt it. The key point is what Liu Mang's position is. Even combo guards can't define Liu Mang's position, but he has always played point guard.
Liu Mang needs to prove himself, it's not that he can't get assists, he can't play the traditional point guard position well, it's just that he doesn't want to.
The goal is very clear, and Liu Mang is ready to learn something in this area. It is always better to have more comprehensive skills.
Moreover, Liu Mang wants to win the MVP!
It is not easy to win the scoring title and hit the MVP. Jordan has only 10 MVPs in 5 scoring titles.
The point is that this doesn't fit the team's current situation. After Liu Mang gradually broadened his thinking from the mission and the team's needs, he found that if he wanted to win the MVP, he had to work hard on assists.
But winning the assist king still has to guarantee victory, so don't be in a hurry to get fat in one go, take your time.
Get more assists against weak teams, and play normally against strong teams. If it doesn't work, just hand the ball to McGrady.
……
On the 22nd, Liu Mang practiced shooting at home in the morning, watched videos in the afternoon, and had a good night's sleep. On the morning of the 23rd, he went to the team for a team meeting. The coaching staff has been fine-tuning the team's tactics.
In the afternoon, the tactical training against the Pistons was carried out. At 07:30 in the evening, the first match against the Pistons in the regular season began.
The Pistons have a good record of 8 wins and 5 losses since the start of the new season, ranking third in the East, but it is obvious that the Pistons' defense has declined, and they are not as strong as last season.
The main reason is that Ben Wallace's defense suddenly declined. Of course, he is still one of the best defensive centers in the league, but all statistics have fallen sharply, especially blocks and steals.
Chris Bosh is facing an early contract extension. The 2000-year, 6 million contract signed by Ben Wallace in 3600 will expire after this season, and Ben Wallace is 31 years old. It's only the second year of the middle class, and Hamilton holds a contract of tens of millions...
The Pistons have not waited for Bosh to reach the peak, but they have to face difficulties, and the salary has exploded!
Billups and Ben Wallace both have annual salaries of at least tens of millions, and Bosh has a maximum salary. They haven't won the championship in the best two years, and they are about to usher in a salary explosion.
Liu Mang looked at the opponent's ability evaluation, Billups 91, the peak, Hamilton 87, the peak, Bosh 89, still growing, a proper future top star, Ben Wallace, 80, the peak has passed but there is room to spare.
In terms of strength, the Pistons have not declined significantly, but their record is far worse than the start of last season.
Liu Mang thought of all the rumors about the Pistons' contract renewal. It had been going on since the summer. The Pistons were unwilling to give Ben Wallace a long-term contract. They gave him a two-year contract worth 2000 million yuan. Ben Wallace and the Pistons management had already had a bad relationship.
Many difficulties are placed in front of the Pistons management, and the focus is on money.
If it weren't for the strong lineup of the Pistons and the rookie bonuses of Billups and Ben Wallace, Bosh and Delfino, they have so many problems this season, they would have collapsed long ago.
However, because of this, the Pistons only got a record of 8 wins and 5 losses with a good start schedule. When they played against weak teams, they could rely on pure strength to crush them.
Playing away against the Eagles, the performance of the Pistons is really... nothing worth talking about, completely exposing their problems this season.
The Eagles attached great importance to this game. After all, they were the third in the Eastern Conference and had to play hard, but they didn't expect that they didn't exert much force, and the opponent fell down!
In the first quarter, the Eagles scored 33 to 14 in a single quarter, and the opponent did not play like a team with more than 60 wins last season!
In fact, although the salary issue is important, it is absolutely impossible to have no money. They are more persistent in wanting more money than the original Pistons' salary issue in Liu Mang's memory, mainly because they see no hope of staying in the team!
Sometimes whether a team will collapse is not just a matter of strength. Maybe they are still a top five or even better team in the league, but there is a big mountain in front of them like that, and they don't even want to get together and work hard.
The Eagles have been in front of them for four years, and they have played against them for four consecutive years. The Pistons players have no hope of defeating the Eagles since the Eastern Conference Finals last season.
Liu Mang was planning to make a big attack, according to his previous style of play, to use points to deal with his opponent, but Liu Mang scored 13 points in the first quarter, and the opponent team only had one point more than him!
From the beginning of the second quarter, Liu Mang changed to a pass-oriented style of play, breaking through, attracting pincers, passing the ball, and occasionally shooting a shot to maintain a threat.
During the rest time, I watch the video research by myself, and after the tactical training, I pull my teammates to practice the running position, but the most important thing is to actually operate during the game.
ESPN’s live broadcast of last season’s Eastern Conference Finals match was completely one-sided, just like the two teams played in the playoffs in the past few years, 125 to 111. The Eagles didn’t have much defense behind them. Coach Kruger has been substituting Liu Mang so that Liu Mang can try to cooperate with each teammate.
刘莽全场打了40分钟，18投11中拿到30分，同时还有5篮板和12个助攻。
Liu Mang didn't expect that playing against the Pistons would be like playing against a weaker team.
Easily won a double-double, and Liu Mang also accepted the first 11-game winning streak in his career.
For the Pistons, Bosh didn't know what to do. After all, he was only a third-year player, and he didn't have his own dedicated management team like James and Liu Mang. Facing the team's chaotic situation, he could only play well by himself.
Bosh is already the leading scorer of the Pistons this season, averaging 23 points per game and second in rebounding. He averaged 9 rebounds per game and added 3 assists, a huge improvement.
This time he was killed by Liu Mang again, Bosh... got used to it...
……
……
Defeating the Pistons won 11 consecutive victories, and then ushered in a contest with the Bulls.
The Bulls have an even lineup this season. Hinrich, Nocioni, Luol Deng, Tyson Chandler, and Ben Gordon on the bench are all quasi-first-rate stars. Liu Mang's observed abilities are all in his early 80s.
But they lost their real strengths. They chose to keep Tyson Chandler for 5 years and 5500 million in the summer, gave up Eddie Curry's right to match, and lost the team's only absolute strength.
Now the Bulls scoring situation is that Nocioni averaged 12 points per game, Luol Deng averaged 13 points per game, Hinrich averaged 14 points per game, and Ben Gordon averaged 14.9 points per game. There is no obvious strong point, and they are all role players.
Coupled with the defensive Tyson Chandler, if the Bulls have a superstar, they will be a proper favorite to win the championship. They have many high-quality role players with the ability to rate 75 to 79, but they have no superstars.
Ben Gordon, Jordan on the bench, is just Jordan on the bench after all.
Liu Mang led the team to easily defeat the Bulls 115 to 100. He won four consecutive victories against the Bulls and was rewarded with 4000 superstar points.
In this game, Liu Mang scored 41 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. This is the second time this season that Liu Mang scored 40+ points. This time Liu Mang won by scoring.
The Bulls' rotation defense is very good. Liu Mang was not able to organize the offense, nor did he force the offense to organize the offense. Last season, McGrady and Nash did not have assists in double figures in every game.
12 straight wins!
The Eagles are still riding high.
After 12 games, Liu Mang's statistics reached 31 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. The average assists per game reached the ninth in the league. He is second only to McGrady, who has averaged 18.5 points and 8 assists per game so far in the Eagles.
This is the first time in Liu Mang's career that he ranks in the top ten in assists.
The main reason is that the score has not dropped much, which is not quite as expected by Liu Mang. He currently ranks third in the league in scoring, behind Kobe Bryant's 33 points per game and James' 32 points per game, and those two played more games.
Liu Mang's score has not declined. He feels that it has a lot to do with the team's fierce scoring from the beginning of the season to the present. The team is now averaging 116.5 points per game, which has caught up with the scoring of the most scoring teams in the NBA in the 80s.
……
In the last of five consecutive home games, the Eagles played the Cavaliers.
God wants the Eagles to continue their winning streak. In the last game against the Timberwolves, James was brutally fouled by Garnett when he was leading by a big score. He jumped for a layup and was photographed by Garnett with an elbow on his collarbone. mother.
In the end, James was fined for two technical fouls, Garnett was fined for a second-degree malicious foul, Garnett was suspended for two games, and James was also suspended for one game because of the conflict between the two teams.
Without James' Cavaliers, Larry Hughes is recuperating again, the Cavaliers are really nothing, the Eagles 121 to 99, another big victory.
……
After five consecutive home games, the Eagles have won 13 consecutive victories!
The Eagles were in full swing, and then on November 11th, they went to Indianapolis to play the Pacers, and easily accepted the victory. Reggie Miller retired, Stephen Jackson did not like Bird, and Artest hurt Bird.
108 to 101, although the Pacers gave some resistance, but the Eagles continued their excellent touch and excellent defense, and continued to win consecutive victories.
After the first game month, the Eagles won 14 consecutive victories!
……
On the 12nd and 2rd of December, the Eagles ushered in the second back-to-back of the season. In the first two games of three consecutive home games, they played the Bobcats and Clippers back-to-back.
Another away game against the Hawks, Felton fell ill, and the Bobcats put him on the inactive list, preventing him from playing against Liu Mang, which was straightforward.
The Eagles did not allow the Bobcats to continue to defeat them. Liu Mang scored 25 points, 15 assists and 7 rebounds, helping the Eagles beat the Bobcats again 120-95, easily winning 15 consecutive victories.
The second back-to-back game is against the Clippers. The Clippers have been very good this season. The joining of Cassel has greatly improved their strength, but the Eagles, which are in a hot state, still easily win the victory.
Liu Mang scored 33 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, beating Brand with 31 points, plus Tracy McGrady's 17 points and 13 assists beat Cassell, Kwame Brown scored 15 points and 22 rebounds, and the Eagles 133-125.
……
……
当老鹰队拿到12连胜，打破了公牛队在96-97赛季的69胜赛季创下的近九年来的11连胜开局连胜记录后，球迷就已经疯狂了。
When the Eagles have been on a winning streak and are still undefeated in December. After accepting back-to-backs at the beginning of December, the most discussed topic in the NBA...is not who can end the Eagles' winning streak, nor is it how many consecutive victories the Eagles can have.
But...
On the second day of the 6-game winning streak, the Eagles had three days off. They played the third game of the month on December 12, and it was also the last game of three consecutive home games against the Western powerhouse Supersonics.
Liu Mang and Dinah returned home after running, took a shower and waited for breakfast. Dinah used the laptop she gave to Liu Mang to browse the forums, originally wanting to see how good the fans brag about her uncle's team.
But I didn't expect that the most popular post was "Liu's step-back three-pointer is so ugly, don't you think about changing it?" "
There is also a vote, asking whether Liu Mang's step-back three-pointer is the ugliest step-back in history.
Anything related to the Eagles is very strange. When Liu Mang saw this post, he was about to vomit blood!
Liu Mang asked depressedly: "Dinah, do you think Uncle's step-back jump shot is handsome? Does it affect Uncle's handsome appearance and chic temperament?"
"Uncle, do you want to listen to Dinah tell the truth or comfort you?" Dinah said without stopping, clicked on the yes option, and then clicked submit.
