"Ace, look at our arena, isn't it getting great!" Duncan takes Liu Mang to show off the brand-new arena that they expanded last season, merged last summer, and partially renovated the old arena.

"It's really great...... Liu Mang looked at the newly built museum at the ATT Center, feeling ...... A little panicked......

Through the introduction of Tim Duncan, one of the two most educated master's students among NBA players, Liu Mang learned that the area of the ATT center has been expanded by half compared with before, and it has the function of a museum.

ATT Telegraph was acquired by SBC Radio and Television and merged to become ATT Radio and Telegraph Television, and the antique appraisal program formerly owned by SBC Television was recorded at the ATT Center.

Liu Mang looked at the Spurs arena with more and more vivid colors, and felt panicked......

In addition to the red and yellow information on the LED screen, the game preview, ticket prices, and remaining votes are red, and the whole stadium is filled with a sense of déjà vu of a large Yizhuang......

After Duncan's contemptuous prompt, Liu Mang knew that in September 2006, Duncan's 2.5-year academic master's degree had completed his graduation thesis, and he was still half a year away from getting his master's degree...... Shaq O'Neill......

The two of them entered their peak at about the same time, both in the late nineties, one was a rookie that was at the peak, and the other was fat to the peak.

After O'Neill arrived in Phoenix, he heard that Duncan was going to get a master's degree, so he was not far behind and went to take the master's degree in business administration at the University of Phoenix, and he really got in......

Liu Mang followed Duncan around the ATT Center for two hours, arrived in San Antonio in the morning, and just after lunch at noon, Duncan came to find Liu Mang, and did not look for anyone else, and Maddie of the same class was not called, only took Liu Mang to see their new arena.

Originally, Liu Mang thought that this sullen man was going to take him to play, but he was actually going to the stadium.

And after shopping, Duncan drove Liu Mang back to the hotel in his pickup truck, and there was no more......

Liu Mang felt that Duncan was too uninteresting, and his whole body was filled with a feeling of "boredom", and he understood why Duncan was deceived by his wife......

Duncan was very satisfied with taking Liu Mang to visit the new arena, and he thought that Liu Mang would be very happy because he liked the renovated arena very much, with its simple and unpretentious colors......

Rookie No. 21!

Duncan got a nickname that made him feel pretty good.

This nickname sounds much more distinctive than any big basic skills......

……

……

Playing the Spurs is not the same as playing other opponents.

The Lakers and Spurs are the Western teams that Liu Mang believes are the most likely to reach the Finals this season.

The Mavericks had a fierce regular season, but Liu Mang felt that they were likely to overdo it in the regular season.

In Liu Mang's memory, in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs in 2007, the Mavericks didn't even have the power to fight back against the Warriors, with Nowitzki's regular season MVP-level performance, and it was the performance of winning the MVP, the playoff state was extremely sluggish, not just as simple as being restrained, Nowitzki and Garnett played against each other, and the shooting rate was only four percentage points less than Garnett, and it was only a few points down in scoring and a few fewer rebounds, It didn't reach the kind of situation where the shooting percentage was less than 40 percent, and it was a series without a single outbreak, and the overall slump looked like it was overdoing it in the regular season.

Therefore, the more fierce the Mavericks are in the regular season, the less Liu Mang is worried about how far the Mavericks can go in the playoffs.

Nowitzki didn't play well, and the Mavericks were no different from the Bulls without Garnett.

Relatively speaking, Duncan's Spurs, which have entered another peak mode, have Artest, which makes Liu Mang even more jealous, and Parker has also reached his peak!

Liu Mang and the coaching staff watched the relevant posts and news on the topic of "how to limit Tim Duncan", which has been very hyped on the Internet recently, and did not get any effective advice on how to prevent Duncan.

However, how to use the mid-range shooting advantage of Mitaka to target the strongest internal and external defensive gate in history composed of Duncan and Artest gave Liu Mang some inspiration......

Although some media have always said that Artest failed to integrate into the Spurs, Liu Mang, as a professional, and the Hawks coaching staff found that Artest did not integrate, only on the offensive end, the Spurs' current offensive tactics are very simple, there are troikas, of course, as simple as you want, if it is complicated, you can't play the strength of the star, Artest has no ball in his hand, and his running position is average, of course, there is no performance on the offensive end.

And Liu Mang found that the Spurs deliberately did not give Artest a feeling of performance on the offensive end, and used him as a strengthened version of Bowen.

This is Popovich's idea, maybe he didn't think about how to use Artest's strong offensive ability, but it is not necessarily, after all, Popovich has never used such a star.

But the Spurs are doing well on the defensive end, and with the league average has risen to 97.9 points this season, the Spurs will average just 98.1 points per game, which will exceed the league average.

One of the only two teams in the league to concede just 90 points is the Spurs and the other is the Bulls in the East.

Among them, the Spurs ranked first in the league's defensive efficiency list with an average of 87.8 points per game!

He averaged only 98.1 points per game, which means that they can win by more than 10 points, which means that except for the Spurs' own offensive ineffectiveness, it is difficult for them to lose and limit the opponent's scoring too low.

The Spurs are averaging just 78 shots per game, which ranks first in the league for the fewest shots they have made! The league's average number of shots this season is 81!

So how to deal with the Spurs' defense is the focus of the Hawks coaching staff's research, and it just so happens that there are thousands of netizens, and there are always some people who really understand the ball and have come up with a way that is a bit strange but Liu Mang and others really think it is feasible.

Anyway, it was the first time this season, and the Eagles decided to give it a try, whether it worked out well or not, they had to give it a try......

……

On November 30, the last day of the first game month, the Eagles ushered in the seventeenth game of the season, the last of three consecutive games in the Southwest Division, and the most difficult game.

After the team's tactical meeting in the morning, Liu Mang and his teammates came to this changed stadium again.

Suffering from the lack of compatriots, this group of American big blacks and whites don't understand what the Spurs' color scheme means in Chinese's opinion, Liu Mang can't find a little friend to complain, and he really feels a little sad......

In the afternoon, Liu Mang and Coach Kruger discussed the new tactics last night, which is still a Princeton-based tactic, and the premise of playing Princeton is that Liu Mang does not play alone, and Liu Mang plays alone, then he can't afford to beat Princeton, which is the Larry Brown-style tactic of four people grabbing one wave.

However, there are no hard requirements, Liu Mang feels that singles is the best means.

For superstars, it has always been like this, otherwise there would be no success in the triangle attack.

……

The Hawks are preparing, the Spurs have been waiting for a long time, and Popovich has been struggling with something this season.

For example, the use of Artest, Artest is very much in line with the role he wants to play as the outer core in the construction of Duncan's new system after aging, but Duncan is at his peak again, which catches him off guard.

The future Spurs system has begun to take shape, but Duncan is too strong, what spurs system to play, the troika is all at its peak, just do it, what is more effective than this?

Popovich wants to keep Artest for a long time, but is unwilling to give too high a salary, and now Popovich can use Artest in a way that is enough, that is, as a defensive reinforcement version of Bowen.

It's not that I can't fit in, it's that I don't want to give so many opportunities on the offensive end.

And the media and scouts expressed their inability to fit in because Artest averaged the lowest 9 points per game in his career.

suppress the value of their own stars, or talk about it from personal feelings, such as Duncan and Ginobili, Parker has never lowered his salary, Parker's contract extension and Duncan's rookie contract in 2000 After the end of the renewal price is the same, both are more than 9 million starting salary, the difference is that Duncan's starting salary of more than 9 million in 2000 is the top salary, at that time the salary cap was only so high, Parker's is not the top salary.

But Parker really doesn't get the maximum salary.

Ginobili is a starting salary of 6 million for the renewal of his contract in 2004, and Ginobili has an All-Star performance in the 04-05 season, which is significantly lower than his value.

On Artest's side, Popovich felt that like Parker, it would definitely not be possible to talk about a salary cut, so he would have to make Artest "not worthy" with a higher salary, and the scoring data was a little worse, which was definitely the best choice.

The team culture of a team is not only in the team atmosphere and the human touch of the coach, but also in whether the team has money or not, the Spurs have such a lineup this season, the salary is only 59 million, which is not yet the luxury tax threshold, and the owner is invited for the purpose of not paying taxes, what else can Popovich do.

If you want to keep Artest, you have to make this decision.

Fortunately, even if Artest can't score, even if he is just a player like Tony Allen who doesn't know how to attack, it can be of great effect on a team!

Any team with one more outside line at the level of the best defensive player can have a qualitative improvement.

The Hawks, on their side, are making offensive adjustments to the Spurs, and the Spurs are also making defensive adjustments to the Hawks.

With Artest, the biggest difference for the Spurs is from a shooting guard to a power forward, and the defensive mid-range is not as painful as before!

This is a huge improvement for the Spurs to beat the Lakers, Mavericks, Hawks, Bulls and other teams with excellent mid-range shots!
