1312. A Keen Sense of Danger (Buddha Update 1/5.)

What is a qualified leader?

What makes a good leader?

Liu Mang used to take one step at a time, and his luck was quite good in a good situation, but now, after Liu Mang played the first game, he became alert.

When he won the first championship, it was logical to reach the first peak in team history, Liu Mang and Raheem were a perfect match, similar to the combination of Liu Mang and Garnett that the Hawks wanted very much this summer, with Rasheed Wallace in the last year of the peak, Jason Terry, the best sixth man Jason Terry, the injury-free block king Ratliff, as well as role players such as Boozer and Stockton, and won the championship with an epic 16-1 best playoff record in history.

The second year of winning the championship, it was Maddie who took the initiative to sacrifice, Kwame Brown improved significantly, Rasheed Wallace was still at the tail of his peak, and he got high-quality role players such as Mourning and Persson in the middle of the season to lay the foundation for defending the title, and the Eastern Conference playoff team was weak, and the Spurs were defeated 4-2 in the finals.

The third year was simple and rude, getting Barry and Horry, mainly the lucky value of Horry, Liu Mang reached his first peak, played the strongest regular season performance in history, and after a difficult 4-2 elimination of the Heat in the playoffs, the Finals were lucky, and the Lakers, who were the most defeated Spurs and Mavericks in the West but still a little short of the Finals, won three consecutive championships.

But after three consecutive championships, they began to be targeted, and because of other teams, the Eagles' reinforcements this past summer were completely different from what was initially expected!

From the team's point of view, from Liu Mang's personal point of view, it is not as perfect as the past reinforcements.

The past three years have been easy to bring in Rasheed Wallace, Mourning, and Horry.

But this year, all I got was a "spare tire", so the contrast for Liu Mang was particularly big!

It's not that Marion and Battier are bad, it's just that ...... They are not like Rashid Wallace, who was an escape from "prison" when he first arrived with the Eagles, and was willing to do any dirty work.

It's not like Maddie is ready to be Pippen, and her personality is very resigned.

It's not like rookies like Iguodala and Josh Smith, who just entered the NBA and were made to be a super scorer by Liu Mang, after all, the team has two such players to form a double wave.

Marion had 9 points and 8 rebounds in the first game, was active defensively, dared to scramble, and got 4 offensive rebounds, keeping the Hawks hopeful.

But I really can't prevent the big forward with the strongest scoring ability in history who is in the best state at the beginning, 99 offensive evaluation, interior players, except for O'Neal, Liu Mang estimates that only the late basketball emperor Chamberlain can compare with Nowitzki's offensive ability, Duncan, Olajuwon and the strongest evergreen Abdul-Jabbar can't.

From a single aspect, such as interior scoring, there are many who are better than Nowitzki, but compared with Nowitzki, Nowitzki's interior offense is top, the first in history in the middle shot, and perhaps the top five three-point ability in the league.

Battier defends well, playing as a substitute for Prince, and the two are very good on the outside, but their low post defense against Josh Howard is not as good as Iguodala's top defense.

It's not that the two are not good enough, it's just that the two are not used to defending like this.

And more importantly, on the offensive end, they were not as accustomed to the offensive style of play as Liu Mang, Maddy, and Jason Terry on the offensive end.

Like Kwame Brown, who scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, his performance was quite good, but his two fists were hard to beat with four hands! Dampier's big stature was enough for him to drink a pot, but Kwame Brown was used to playing, but his teammates weren't as cooperative as they used to be.

Liu Mang played less in the preseason, and the coaching staff wanted to give role players more opportunities to adapt to running tactics in the game, which is a normal idea, except for the Celtics in the sixties, no team has had the experience of how to successfully impact the championship after three consecutive championships, and there is no precedent for the Hawks coaching staff including Liu Mang to refer to.

However, this conservative preseason arrangement caused teammates to fail to adapt in advance in the official game and understand what kind of psychological endurance is required to partner with Liu Mang.

Liu Mang won the assist king last season, and he was a guy who would dominate the shot if he wanted 90 points, and he used to get any teammates he wanted, and his teammates would know what to do, but now it's different.

There is no doubt that the Hawks are still very strong, the roster is excellent, and they have the strength to fight with the Mavericks, who are in excellent starting form, but the grasp of details is not as strong as last season, and the main team poured out of the nest and was also killed by the Mavericks.

The best thing is that Liu Mang reacts very keenly to this uneasy feeling, and he feels the team's problems very strongly!

If there is a problem, we must find a way to solve it.

Liu Mang returned home, and after putting the little Lori who was depressed and unhappy after losing the first battle to sleep, he returned to the room, and Levia was tired of it, and after Levia fell asleep, Liu Mang took out paper and pen from the bedside table.

If you have any questions, write them down and go talk to the coaching staff and talk to your teammates!

……

……

"Coach, John, that's the problem we had last night that I thought about." Liu Mang was also polite, and handed over the questions he wrote down last night to Stockton and Coach Kruger.

Early the next morning, Liu Mang sent Xiao Lori and the bodyguards to the school, and came to the stadium early.

For the first time in four years, Liu Mang did not win the opening game, Liu Mang entered the sixth season of the NBA, and lost the opening game for the second time, and in terms of public opinion, the Hawks encountered a lot of pressure.

Liu Mang was mentally prepared and was prepared for the most difficult season, so he didn't panic when he encountered things, but listed the problems and made an appointment with the coaching staff to meet him in the morning.

Coach Kruger came earlier than Liu Mang, and came to the stadium with Stockton at seven o'clock, waiting for Liu Mang to come.

Looking at a large number of problems listed by Liu Mang, the problems that were exposed in the first game, or the problems that had certain signs, or potential problems, some of which were not analyzed by the two coaches, Liu Mang wrote them down.

Last night's impromptu team meeting just analyzed the reasons for the failure to play tactically, and the coaching staff did not blame anyone.

Role players, it must not be blamed, Liu Mang, Maddie, and Jason Terry have all taken more than 60 shots combined, and their teammates have only 30 shots combined.

And blame Mitaka ...... Two of the three consecutive championships were won by this combination of offensive firepower.

Looking at the problems listed by Liu Mang, there are more problems than the two offensive coaches imagined!
