Chapter 1066 Chapter 1065. The center of this team is always so special
A training match in which those who heard it cried and those who saw it were sad.
In just 15 minutes, the five members of the youth team wanted to find a toilet to cry.
It hurts!
Even five veterans and two of them have been retired for more than a year!
A few young people wondered if they were dreaming...
However, it was indeed blown away!
Iguodala plays the point guard, Josh Smith is the power forward, and his organizational skills are not bad. He scored 17 points in 23 rounds, and his efficiency is not bad. As for a group of old men on the other side who took the lead in launching a fierce physical confrontation, that is not a reason. The younger people on their side also provided a lot of physical confrontation.
Just can't prevent the opponent!
Several players on the sidelines were stunned. Rasheed Wallace and Tracy McGrady, two players who had experienced the pick-and-roll era of the 36-year-old Stockton and Malone, seemed to see Malone who easily won the MVP after Jordan retired!
Malone could finally be proud. After Chip England blew the whistle for the end of the match, Malone patted Josh Smith on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Haha, Josh, you did a good job. It puts me under some pressure, but you still have to work hard..."
Stockton also came to Liu Mang's place: "You see, this is the power of the pick-and-roll, use the pick-and-roll more, what's the use of learning high post and low post? It's better..."
Just when Stockton and Malone were pretending to be aggressive, Liu Mang turned off the peak training mode...
Malone was pretending to be aggressive when he suddenly felt his legs go limp. Fortunately, he was supported on Josh Smith's shoulders so he didn't fall down.
Josh Smith felt desolate in his heart, so he quickly supported Malone: "Carl, are you okay?"
"It's okay, maybe it's because I used too much force. I haven't played like this for a long time, and my physical strength is exhausted..." Ma Long felt weak all over.
Even a year and a half ago, Ma Long was still the first-class power forward who averaged 30+14+9 in more than 4 minutes per game. He hadn't played for more than a year, and Liu Mang used the peak training mode to squeeze out his physical fitness to support such a high level. After ten minutes, his physical fitness also collapsed.
Stockton also felt his physical strength suddenly collapsed, and was supported by Liu Mang.
The other three veterans are okay, they are role players, and they are active players. Shuangsha, who has retired for more than a year, is now physically broken, although Stockton and Malone are in good shape.
This is why after some players have been frozen for a year, even if they change the team and give the ball rights and time, it is difficult to return to the same level as before, especially for players over 30 years old.
Seeing that the young players were all shocked, Coach Kruger's goal was achieved. This is what he wanted, so that the players would have enough motivation to learn new styles of play, just as Liu Mang expected.
Let Stockton and Malone relax for a while. In the second training game, the official pick-and-roll training began. Some very simple pick-and-roll coordination, the simpler the better, the faster you can adapt.
Coach Kruger and Stockton will not ask Liu Mang and others to start using the pick-and-roll as the main offensive option immediately. The Eagles have always been known for their many tactical changes and unpredictable opponents, and the pick-and-roll tactic is only a part of the team system.
After Shuang Sha rested for a while, he saw a few core players who were very excited to learn the pick-and-roll style of play, so he regained his energy and started the pick-and-roll tactical guidance.
The overall training volume in the morning was actually very small. The main reason was that the veterans were a bit tired from playing the 15-minute duel, while the young players played 15 minutes.
……
……
"The Supersonic side seems very excited." McGrady said to Liu Mang while chewing on his braces.
"Well, they should work hard today. They want to win in front of their boss. You see, the person behind their bench is their boss." Liu Mang replied.
"Then how are we going to fight today?"
"How to fight? Hit to death!"
"You really have no sympathy at all..."
"No, no, I'm called Da Ai, do you understand? You don't understand even if I say it, but I'll tell you simply that their boss is about to go bankrupt. Wouldn't it be better to help him make up his mind to sell the team so that he doesn't suffer so much?"
"There's nothing to talk about with someone like you who has gone to college. You can talk too much."
McGrady and Liu Mang bragged for a while, and went to the technical stage to touch the chalk.
At [-]:[-] p.m., the Hawks and Sonics played in the "New Year's Eve Game", and players from the two teams had already entered the arena.
The owner of the Eagles, Steven Price, the rich second generation who has counterattacked, an old friend came from his home arena to watch the game today. He decisively pretended to be aggressive for a while, took the microphone and began to show off the Eagles' 26-1 start record this season, emphasizing the 26-game winning streak.
What Price likes most is counting banknotes and showing off to his former cronies that he is now making a lot of money and his career is booming.
Listening to Price's ostentatious tone, Liu Mang feels that human nature is always shining...
……
Price finished his pretense, the final preparation time before the game was over, and the lights on the scene dimmed in Prince's swaying dance.
With Rasheed Wallace roaring, Kwame Brown slapped his hands to mobilize the atmosphere, and Liu Mang sprinkled chalk into the air. Amidst the manic cheers at the scene, the two teams started their debut!
The Eagles sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.
The Sonics sent Francis, Ray Allen, Damir Wilkins, Rashad Lewis, and Nick Collison.
After Rasheed Wallace's heart-piercing roar, Liu Mang heard two reminders.
"Ding... The Eagles Devils triggered at home, and the morale of the Sonics was suppressed, from Rasheed Wallace and Phillips Arena fans."
"Ding... The Sonics players have far more enthusiasm and excitement than usual, offsetting the Devil's home suppression and are still in a state of excitement."
Originally, it was a matter of course for the Sonics to be sold, and their boss Barry Ackley didn't need to last that long. They had been sold as early as this past summer, but the Sonics got Francis last season.
That's why the current situation arises. Their boss wants to sell but is reluctant to let the Supersonics leave Seattle. The players want to buy time for the boss so that he can find a local tyrant who is willing to take over the Supersonics.
After thinking about it carefully, Liu Mang realized that this was his own influence.
Liu Mang didn't think deeply about whether this matter is a good thing, and it doesn't matter to him, just do it.
Liu Mang came to his free throw line and observed the opponent's players, one top star and two first-class stars, the role players were outstanding, and their boss's operation was not a big problem, but it's a pity that we are in an era when most NBA bosses don't make money.
Nick Collison, the soul of the future Thunder team of the Supersonics, came to the center circle with a strong fighting spirit. Kwame Brown also received instructions from Liu Mang today. He must win, and he must win a big victory. The fans and the media cannot let the fans and the media think that they will die after losing a game.
After selecting the ball, the referee came to the middle circle, pointed to the positions on both sides, blew the whistle to start the game, and threw the ball into the air.
jump ball!
Nick Collison jumped hard and reached for the ball as hard as he could, but Kwame Brown caught the ball faster!
Liu Mang received the jump ball and quickly sprinted towards the frontcourt. When he crossed the center line, Liu Mang quickly changed direction. After Kwame Brown jumped the ball, he went up to block Francis who wanted to block Liu Mang.
"Ding... the pick-and-roll master is triggered at level 5, and the host's speed will be +8 within two seconds..."
Liu Mang's speed soared to over [-], rushing into the three-point line!
too fast!
The other players on the Supersonic team were frightened and rushed forward. Liu Mang threw the ball to the right of the top arc, and McGrady caught the ball and made a three-pointer...
hit!
The start was so irritable!
The fighting spirit of the Eagles is also so strong!The players of the Supersonic team felt the fighting spirit of the Eagles. The last time they played against each other at home, they were beaten by the Eagles who were winning streak. The players of the Supersonic team seemed to have seen the scene at that time.
Exactly the same tactics, exactly the same style of play, the one who passes the ball is still Liu Mang, and the one who scores the goal is still McGrady!
After reducing the burden of organizing the offense and focusing on shooting and single defense, McGrady quickly adjusted to become a super scorer who averaged only 15 shots per game but averaged 20+ per game, and occasionally scored points!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Sonics attack, after Francis advanced, broke through and passed the ball to Damir Wilkins, Liu Mang defended Lei Allen, Prince went to pinch Francis, and emptied Damir Wilkins, an opponent who was relatively poor in three-pointers.
Damier Wilkins' first three-pointer of the game... a decisive miss.
but!
Nick Collison actually grabbed an offensive rebound over Kwame Brown!
Nick Collison passed back to Damier Wilkins, Damir Wilkins threw the ball to the top arc, Liu Mang was almost down, Ray Allen caught the ball and made a three-pointer!
Nick Collison is probably the hardest one besides the three big stars. He really loves this team and is also one of the rare role players. The team and players are loyal to each other. Until Nick Collison is 39 years old, his hair and beard are already white.
The Sonics didn't hesitate at the start, and returned a three-pointer to the Eagles!
The Supersonics showed their strength in offensive rebounds, and Liu Mang was puzzled. The center of the Supersonics is so good in offensive rebounds, even better than defensive rebounds?
