"Boss, that's not good......" Kwame Brown asked weakly.

He knows all too well how important confidence is to a rookie, and if he hadn't come to the Eagles, if he hadn't met Liu Mang, Kwame Brown would have felt like his life was all gloomy.

Hearing Liu Mang's order, Kwame Brown was a little worried about playing the rookie on the other side.

"Kwame, you're wrong!" Liu Mang suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Kwamei Brown was startled, only to see that Liu Mang's face became very firm, and Kwame Brown's heart also lifted, looking at Liu Mang seriously.

"Kwame, you're too superficial!"

Liu Mang's soft cry seemed to hit Kwame Brown's heart, and the power of the Führer was silently activated.

Kwame Brown swallowed, eager to hear what Liu Mang had to say next.

"Kwamei, we're doing this for the good of this rookie! He is not the same situation as you, you were under great pressure to survive in the league, and this rookie, the living environment is too easy, you have also seen the news, he even overwhelmed Carter's limelight, everything about him is too smooth, how can it be called a real rookie season without experiencing suffering and torture? Now his success means that he will be at a loss when he encounters ups and downs in the future, as seniors, we should teach him that it is not so easy to survive in the NBA......" Liu Mang was talking nonsense, he felt that he was talking nonsense, but he continued with a noble expression on his face: "...... Therefore, we have to educate him fiercely, Kwamei, you have gone through so many hardships to find your way forward, you see, this rookie is about the same age as you, he may be your strongest opponent in the future, let him feel your fighting spirit! Let him know that you are his strongest enemy in the future! ”

This nonsense, Liu Mang said that he blushed.

But the point is, Kwame Brown believed!

"Boss, you're so right! As seniors, we want to let juniors know the difficulty of survival in the NBA! Kwame-Brown said excitedly, probably only remembering this sentence.

"Very well, I'll go with Rashid to educate him first, and then you will continue to educate him later." After Liu Mang finished speaking, he called Boozer, who was stunned to listen to it, to do the opening action together, and if he stayed here, he was afraid that he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

checked the ability evaluation of the stars on the Raptors' side, Carter, 90, Liu Mang felt a bit low, but thinking that Carter's role was weakened this year, the level of playing was 90 is not bad.

However, seeing that no one else in the Raptors team has a player with an 80-point ability evaluation, except for Carter, it is actually Milicic with an ability evaluation of 76, Liu Mang slightly understands why the Raptors will be desperate to cultivate Milicic after getting such a talented center as Milicic, even regardless of Carter's feelings.

……

……

With Rasheed Wallace's celestial roar blowing up the atmosphere in the stadium, the Hawks' home game against the Raptors began immediately.

The Eagles sent out a starting lineup of Liu Mang, Prince, Raheem, Rasheed Wallace, and Ratliff.

The Raptors fielded the starting lineup of Alvin Williams, Carter, Morris Peterson, Milicic and Antonio Davis.

The starters of both teams are surprisingly tall, Liu Mang, the shortest on the Eagles' side, is 1.93 meters, and the other four are all over 2 meters.

On the Raptors' side, in addition to Alvin Williams who is 1.96 meters and Carter who is 1.98 meters, the other three are also above two meters.

The average height of the two teams is estimated to be more than two meters and three.

Milicic and Rasheed Wallace jumped the ball in the center circle.

Similar to the Hawks, the Raptors also fell into the dilemma of not being able to win the jump ball last season, mainly because Antonio Davis was already short, he was 35 years old, and he couldn't jump at all, but at his age, he couldn't play power forward, and could only play the center position, so it was Milicic who came to jump the ball.

Rashid Wallace looked at the tender Milicic, thinking of Liu Mang's evil taste for wanting to abuse vegetables, and couldn't help but glare at Milicic viciously.

The referee is still very jealous of Rashid Wallace's ability to cause trouble, and it is estimated that there are no dozens of games that cannot be reversed, after all, it may only take a glance to give an impression, but it may take a year to reverse an impression, and the referee quickly signaled Rashid Wallace not to cause trouble.

The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game and throws the ball into the air.

Just as the ball was about to reach its highest point, Milicic was just about to jump when he heard a loud shout, and his legs almost went weak with fright.

Rasheed Wallace easily flicked the ball to the back.

Not only Rasheed Wallace was scared, but the referee next to him was scared and almost blew a whistle, but fortunately, the Hawks team loved to do things, and the referee held back dangerously.

Milicic pointed at Rashid Wallace like a child, looking at the referee like a student suing a teacher.

Rashid Wallace's strange roar interrupted the game, Liu Mang received the ball and was worried that Rashid Wallace would be blown for a technical foul, and the Raptors also felt that Rashid Wallace looked like a technical foul.

Seeing the referee signaling the game to continue, Liu Mang dribbled the ball quickly to the front court with peace of mind, so as not to make an eight-second violation.

Milicic didn't expect this to be the result, but the referee was equal to God on the court, and he could only run to his own basket in a huff.

Rasheed Wallace and Milicic ran forward in parallel and said next to Milicic: "Rookie, this is the NBA!" ”

……

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and the Hawks' teammates opened up the space, and Antonio Davis now only has the ability to defend the basket and grab the rebound, so obviously Milicic is taller, but it is Antonio Davis who is under the basket and Ratlivka.

Milicic was pulled into the middle distance following Rashid Wallace.

Raheem took Peterson to the left baseline and Prince to the bottom right corner.

Carter saw Liu Mang advancing and immediately defended himself.

"Come on, Ace, let me see how strong you are at defeating Tracy!" Carter's duel with Liu Mang is always full of fighting spirit.

"Oh, Vince, it's a pity that Rashid is more interested in your family's rookie." Liu Mang reached the three-point line and hoisted the ball to Rashid Wallace, who was leaning against Milicic on the left side of the free-throw line.

After the pass, Liu Mang ran to the bottom left corner of the basket with Carter, and Rashid Wallace held the ball high.

Seeing Rashid Wallace receiving the ball here, the Eagles' tactical run immediately kicked in.

Raheem entered the basket and ran around the three-second zone, pulled the basket away, and then Raheem went to the bottom corner of the right side to block and dismantle Prince, Prince ran to the right 45-degree angle by blocking and dismantling without the ball, Raheem pressed to the bottom line on the right side of the basket, the Raptors changed the defense quickly, after all, it was a strong team in the past, Alvin Williams blocked tightly in front of Rahim, avoiding Raheem receiving the ball and jumper, the height difference was a bit big, and Peterson at the 45-degree angle on the right side also tightly wrapped around Prince to avoid Prince from cutting in the air.

Needless to say, Liu Mang's side is the three-point king of the younger generation, and Carter doesn't dare to let go.

Triangle Offensive!

It's different from the Lakers and Bulls, but in short, it creates the perfect one-on-one opportunity for Rasheed Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace smiled at Milicic to show his kindness, trying to distract Milicic, but Milicic was more focused, and he was already angry about Rasheed Wallace scaring him just now.

Rashid Wallace thought he had a warm smile that seemed to others to linger in his mind.

But it doesn't matter, Rasheed Wallace leans on Milicic in the high post, Milicic takes small steps, and Rasheed Wallace is the second-only offensive master in the power forward position after Webb.

Seeing Milicic's swift steps, Rashid Wallace was a little surprised, it depends on technology, and it really doesn't have to be a rookie! This reminded Rasheed Wallace of the guy on his bench who was seen as a parallel trade.

So, Rasheed Wallace sank his weight and slammed into his back.

Milicic's defensive talent is really not covered, and the moment Rasheed Wallace drops in height, he immediately lowers his center of gravity as much as he can, making the most of his current weight of 103 kilograms.

But talent is talent, experience and on-the-spot judgment are still too poor, Milicic did a good job of defending, but at this moment, he forgot that this was in a high position!

Rasheed Wallace slapped the ball backwards, but the ball was shot to the left, and when he was about to hit Milicic, his left foot was the axis, his body turned 150 degrees, and his right foot stepped out to the left, rushing directly from Milicic's left!

Totally playful!

Carter, who was defending Liu Mang from the bottom line, rushed in to make up for the defense, Antonio Davis also stepped up to block Rashid Wallace, and Milicic, who was played by Rashid Wallace, also quickly turned around and followed, and Rashid Wallace was stopped one step outside the reasonable collision zone!

Milicic felt like he was losing face! After only playing three games, he was touted as a super genius who would be compared to the Chinese giant in the future, how could he have suffered this humiliation, whether in Europe or in the NBA, he was regarded as a genius, of course, the main reason was that the head coach he met was not Larry Brown, but the legendary coach of the Hawks who once brought a center like Kevin Willis Lenny Wilkens.

The Raptors did a surprisingly good job of packing, with Antonio Davis defending Rasheed Wallace on the right, Carter on the left front of Rasheed Wallace, and Milicic following up in the best block position directly to the left of Rasheed Wallace.

Milicic is ready, he blocks whenever Rashid Wallace forces his shot, and he is confident in his block.

However, the moment Milicic made the offer, Rasheed Wallace threw the ball behind him with that devilish grin.

Milicic secretly screamed badly, and as soon as he turned around, a big number was already printed on his face!

Liu Mang slowly followed behind when Carter rushed in to make up for the defense, and when the Raptors were in place, he immediately increased his speed to the fastest, received a pass from Rasheed Wallace, rushed to a step outside the three-second zone, and jumped to the basket, at this time Milicic just turned around, and Liu Mang's lower body was blocked by Milicic's upper body!

"Ding...... Fancy dunk level 3 triggered, judged to be a pressure dunk, waist and abdominal strength increased ......"

Liu Mang's waist and abdomen power exploded, leaned forward, and pressed Milicic to smash the ball into the basket!

So strong at the start?

The heat that has just dropped at the scene is burning again! Some fans jumped up directly to cheer for Liu Mang.

Liu Mang didn't roar and celebrate after he landed, he turned around and ran directly to the backcourt, and when he returned to the backcourt, Rasheed Wallace, who ran back a step later, slapped his hands and immediately began to prepare for defense.

This is the beginning! It's not yet time to welcome Milicic into the NBA.

Liu Mang has not forgotten the task of the king of the new generation, and now Milicic looks like he has a bright future, so Milicic is also his enemy, since he is an enemy, it is good to give him a deep impression from the beginning.

When it came to the Raptors' offense, Alvin Williams pushed in and handed the ball to Carter, and the Raptors started a completely different run than before.

In the past, the Raptors didn't have any good interior lines, and they all started from Carter, but this time it's different.

Prince, who defended Carter, did not see Carter's tendency to break through, but dribbled at a 45-degree angle on the right side of the basket, and Milicic fell to the low post on the right side of the basket, with his back to Rasheed Wallace for the ball, and Carter actually passed.

Although Carter poured bitter water, he is Milicic's teammate, and knows Milicic's talent better than anyone else, and he doesn't understand the team's cultivation of Milicic, but he is dissatisfied with why he is so desperate to cultivate, but the coach's arrangement can't help but listen, Carter hoisted the ball to Milicic, ran around the three-point line to the left 45-degree angle, ready to catch the ball and shoot three points or cut in the air at any time.

When Milicic is on the floor, Carter's tactical position and the team's current style of play are roughly equivalent to the Nets' Richard Jefferson, but the luxurious ultimate enhanced version of Richard Jefferson with three-point points, stronger air cutting ability, and several times more deterrent power.

However, this unexpectedly reduced the pressure on Carter's offensive end, allowing him to put more energy on the defensive end, such as the bag just now, if Milicic didn't want to block, but intercepted Rasheed Wallace's pass, the Raptors' pinch shot can be said to be successful.

After Milicic received the ball, his anger and the humiliation of being ridden just now, Milicic decided to fight back!

Quite commendable courage and self-confidence.

Milicic wanted to take revenge on Rasheed Wallace with his foot, Milicic turned left in one step, wanting to use his offensive skills with both left and right hands, to hit Rasheed Wallace by surprise, turned and stepped into the front basket position with a left-handed throw.

But he completely underestimated the Hawks' double-high defensive ability under the basket!

Milicic was on good footwork, but as a rookie, too tender and too obvious, Rasheed Wallace went up to jam Milicic and Ratliff flew in from the side with a big hat to fan Milicic's throw.

Fortunately, Carter is playing very aggressively because the team has not given status, squeezing Prince with one arm to grab the ball first, and hit a mid-range shot.

The change in Carter's original career trajectory, in addition to his explosiveness being gradually abolished by Bowen three times in a row, the most important thing is that after more than a season of being squeezed out by Bosh during the Dragon Egg period, he was forced to learn to be active after losing his core position, but it also achieved his legendary career of playing until the 2017-2018 season and getting an 8 million contract.

Offense and defense switched, and the Eagles attacked.

Liu Mang continued to give the ball to Rashid Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace rarely goes all out on both offensive and defensive ends, although the physical consumption will be great, but the Raptors have been miserable this year, and the season with a potential rookie as the core training will be very miserable at the beginning, not every rookie is Duncan, if the rookie Duncan and the current Carter, they will not have to take off, you must know that O'Neal is still helping the team get the top pick in his rookie season.

Facing the Raptors, who lost three in a row in the opening game, the Hawks responded with a relaxed mood.

That's why Rashid Wallace will have fun with Liu Mang as a rookie.

Rasheed Wallace continued to single Milicic with his back high post, and this time Milicic learned to be obedient and just stick to Rasheed Wallace, Milicic's movement ability is on par with Rasheed Wallace.

Rasheed Wallace relied on his strength advantage to squeeze a skinny Milicic to the basket, turned and carried Milicic away, and hit an easy little hook shot.

Milicic is going to cry! Don't bring such a target! How did you start by pointing at me and bullying me alone!

It's time for the Raptors to attack again, Milicic forced to play, against a rookie, Rasheed Wallace was too handy, when Milisi hit back, he suddenly withdrew his chair, Milicic just exerted his strength, there was no support behind him, he took several steps back, and when he was about to fall, he was held up by Rasheed Wallace.

The referee glanced at Rashid Wallace in surprise, and as a referee, he couldn't help but think: what kind of team is what kind of people.

The Eagles' shameless but respectful image as a strong man, that is, a team that will protect opponents, has been established in the past two years.

The referee's whistle blows, and Milicic walks for a violation.

Although he learned the Eagles' behavior of protecting opponents, Rasheed Wallace was different, and after holding Milicic steady to prevent Milicic from falling to the ground because of the force of his backward impact and injuring his lumbar spine, Rasheed Wallace did not help Milicic up, but let go of his hand and let Milicic's ass have a close contact with the floor.

Milicic had just been a little grateful, and immediately fell to the bottom.

Don't take that bullying!

Milicic is not a strong person in the first place, at the beginning of this game, he was targeted by the Hawks twice on offense and defense, and all of them came to humiliate him, and his expression was already like crying.

Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens hurriedly called a timeout, and couldn't let the team's hard-won baby center Miao lose confidence and replaced Milicic with Mad Dog Jerome Williams.

……

After returning from the pause, Liu Mang saw Milicic go down and started a normal attack and defense.

Liu Mang began to organize offense-oriented, and Rasheed Wallace blocked the offense, the first choice was of course to shoot by himself, but because he played for two years, he was already a famous new generation star, and even the first person of the new generation, and the Raptors had a good coach on their side, Lenny Wilkens knew that cultivating rookies also needed to cultivate a winning culture, and winning culture was not really about winning games, but even if he couldn't win games, he had to cultivate team discipline that worked hard to attack and defend and strive to win games.

That's why there will be Carter's previous basket bag, otherwise Carter would not have done this kind of dirty work earlier, Carter's career change, it can be said that he can hate the Raptors, but he has to thank the Raptors this year.

Liu Mang attracts enough defense, so he mainly focuses on passing.

Although the Raptors are active in defense, this lineup that once played with the 76ers to tie seven, except for Carter, is all old, and the positive can only limit Liu Mang's side.

The Raptors' offense returned to Carter's single-handedness with the ball in Milicic's absence, and what made Carter dissatisfied was that it was not Liu Mang who defended him, but Prince, but Prince was still defending so well, which made Carter's inner anger continue to increase.

At the official timeout, the Hawks led the Raptors by eight points, 17-9.

Liu Mang not only deducted one at the beginning, causing Carter to foul once, scoring 4 points, but also getting 3 assists in more than half a quarter.

At the official timeout, the Hawks replaced Raheem, Ratliff, and Rasheed Wallace, and the combination of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Prince, Boozer, and Kwame Brown.

Stockton was rested for this game, and the first two games seemed to have played a little too long, more than Liu Mang played.

On the Raptors' side, Coach Wilkens saw Rasheed Wallace and others put on training uniforms and put Milicic on again.

Wilkens wants Milicic to play the parallel top pick and regain his confidence.

……

The official timeout came back, the Raptors attacked, and Milicic wanted to regain his confidence and continue to play in the low post.

Although Kwame Brown's defensive skills are not as good as Rasheed Wallace, he is stronger and more physical, and he adheres to a "cruel mentality to teach rookies in the NBA", unlike Rasheed Wallace who also relies on skills to bully rookies, Kwame Brown went directly to his body and pushed Milicic directly out of the three-second zone, and his small hand was fast, and he took away the ball in Milicic's hand who tried to turn around and cut into the three-second zone again!

Kwame Brown handed the ball to Liu Mang, and the Raptors defended quickly, Liu Mang was not in a hurry and suppressed the rhythm position.

After advancing to the front court, he came to a block with Kwame Brown, Liu Mang broke through through the block, and Milicic came back with a change of defense all the way to the basket, and then distributed it to Kwame Brown, who cut in, and Kwame Brown smashed the ball into the basket with his arm in the middle of the basket with his arm to defend Liu Mang!

Not again! Milicic is going to cry again, and the other party is still targeting him!

The referee's whistle blew, and the Raptors called a timeout.

After another round, Coach Wilkens called another timeout, and he really saw Milicic have tears in the corners of his eyes.

This big European man is good at everything, but he is too psychologically fragile.

Liu Mang was a little unbearable, he seemed to see his own shadow when he was taught by the aging Jordan when he was a rookie.

When Milicic was substituted again and walked to the sidelines, Liu Mang walked next to Milicic.

Milicic is scared when he sees Liu Mang now, judging from the previous rumors, it is absolutely planned by the person in front of him that he was bullied this time, and before the game started, he really saw the terrible picture of Liu Mang and his teammates smiling at him, and now it is terrible to think about it.

Milicic was ready to be ridiculed, but to his surprise, Liu Mang said a word and turned away.

"Rookie, the cruelty of the NBA is more than this, we are gentle, if you are not strong, there will be more cruel games waiting for you in the future."

……

At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks were 27-20 and easily led the Raptors by seven points.

After the first quarter, the Hawks played a little loosely, mainly in the past two years, except for the beginning of last season, they played too well at other times, and it was inevitable that they would have contempt when facing weak teams, especially Rasheed Wallace integrated so well, and was willing to focus on defense, and his strength was stronger than last season, so when he encountered the Raptors who had lost three in a row, he slackened and slackened, and it was not so difficult for the Raptors to score.

Although the Eagles started the game against teams that are now considered underdogs, the media still did not correct the Eagles.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Carter, who had endured a full quarter, couldn't help it and rushed to the front court to meet Jason Terry and hit a three-pointer directly.

Liu Mang was sitting on the sidelines chatting with Rashid Wallace, and was suddenly stunned.

"Ding...... Half-human demigod level 4 trigger, from Vince Carter. ”

Depend on! Liu Mang squirted out a swear word, didn't he fall to level 3 last year? Why is it level 4 again?
