"No, Ace didn't move."

I don't know when, Coach Kruger also arrived.

"Didn't walk? Ace picked up the ball! Emmanuol was very unconvinced, if he hadn't walked, wouldn't the two of them have been blown up together? Oh my God, although Emmanuol knows that he is not as good as Liu Mang in the future, and his offensive talent is much worse, but being abused by a rookie is still a bit miserable! If you have a good relationship, you don't have to play like this.

It must be the coach who protects this rookie!

Emmanuol asked the assistant teacher, "Didn't walk?" ”

"No, Ace just changed the rhythm of the march, and you were shaken away."

"......" Emmanuol was very sad and indignant, saying that he didn't recognize Liu Mang, the little brother, who was so much more powerful than himself, the 'boss'.

Muhammad was different, giving a thumbs up to Liu Mang's change in rhythm.

Originally, this kind of training ground was not a formal training ground, but it should have been two five-on-five training sessions organized by the assistant coach and the team captain Rahim, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, but I didn't expect Coach Kruger to come on a whim, and he also saw a surprising scene.

When did this stinky boy learn to change the rhythm?

In the past, Liu Mang was a strong rush, or he shot with the ball, and when he rushed to the basket, he had two choices, and he was on it when he was in college, and then he lacked physical fitness, and the center who played a little more was capped, and when he entered the NBA, he changed the law to make fouls, and the effect was not bad.

But when did you learn this trick?

The pause and resumption of the rhythm in the middle even gives the defender a feeling of walking, but in the continuous three-step layup action, it will not be considered a step according to the rules!

Speaking of which, Liu Mang's layup with Kyle Anderson is much more lethal than Kyle Anderson himself, Liu Mang has a speed that Kyle Anderson does not have, after the sudden slowdown of the pace, the opponent may be out of position or wrapped up at the same time, he can immediately accelerate and shoot quickly!

In just one round, Coach Kruger saw a new skill that Liu Mang had mastered.

When Coach Kruger brought Liu Mang into the NBA, his expectations for Liu Mang were just a qualified bench three-pointer, but he didn't expect this kid to open up! The more you play, the smarter you become, and now you actually use the change of rhythm to attack inside!

You must know that some players, with their careers, can't change the rhythm, straight players go straight all their lives, and people who hold the ball and do it all their lives are the same way of playing, even if many superstars are like this, they don't know how to play when they change the rhythm!

This is also the reason why many superstars who were the top players in the league before the age of 30 can't keep up with the ball after 30.

Coach Kruger now has a new positioning for Liu Mang, the body is a little weaker, the explosiveness and bounce are a little worse, but the speed is fast enough, the body is a little stronger, the hand feels good, and the rhythm change has also begun to look like it, Liu Mang's template can be positioned as an enhanced version of the outside shooting ability of Andre Miller from the University of Utah!

A player like Andre Miller is the type of player that all coaches like, young and old, with a steady style of play and an extremely reasonable play......

Coach Kruger thought of the last two points, and then looked at Liu Mang, ...... Or do you want to change the template again?

……

……

Two days passed quickly, and on November 23, two national live broadcasts of Thanksgiving came.

The first to play was the Hawks vs. the Pistons.

This game is probably regarded by the league as an appetizer for the Thanksgiving game, which is only celebrated by Americans, and is a rare original holiday in the United States, most of which are left over from the former colonial period.

In the eyes of the older generation, Thanksgiving is not an important holiday second to Christmas, and many famous Christmas songs in the United States were originally used to celebrate Thanksgiving, but eventually became Christmas songs.

This is the second national live broadcast of the Hawks this season, the first time is to play the 76ers, as the Hawks and Pistons in the first and second positions in the league have been delayed, their attention has also increased a lot, when the Hawks team bus came to the Auburn Hills Palace, a large number of reporters surrounded them, and the Hawks players felt flattered!

"Now that you have an 8-1 record at the top of the league, are you sure of the next win over the Pistons?"

"Ace, almost all of your previous nine games have been very good, will this game against the Pistons continue to perform before?"

"Mr. Theo Ratliffe, you and the Pistons' Ben Wallace are first and second on the block list, are you confident of winning the block title this year?"

"Coach Ron Krueger, people think you and Coach Rick Carlisle are the favorites for this year's best coach, and you think you're going to be the sixth rookie best coach in NBA history after Doug Rivers, are you confident about that?"

“……”

“……”

NBA players are tall and tall compared to ordinary reporters, and they walk fast, but these reporters can keep up with the camera and the microphone, well, generally speaking, the woman holds the microphone and the man holds the camera, and the man and woman are not tired of working together.

Fortunately, the coaching staff informed in advance that they could not answer the questions of those reporters before the official interview, and they were forbidden to answer them, so as not to be hyped.

What do journalists rely on to survive, news! Even if you know that those players won't answer at this time, but if any rookie answers, it's news! Even a casual word of confidence can make them up to 10,000 stories.

Liu Mang looked at so many reporters, it seems that it is the first time that so many reporters have come to interview! It's not wrong to play the 76ers in the United States, but the Hawks at that time were not as popular as they are now, and they all thought that the Hawks were rubbing the 76ers' national live broadcast, but they didn't expect the Hawks to win.

I really want to be interviewed! Maybe seven or eight can be a whole wave of hooligan value, even if the hooligan value lottery is very unreliable, but who would think that there are many opportunities!

It's a pity that the coach repeatedly made it clear and was not allowed to answer, which is really a pity.

Although there were pre-match interviews for a while, it was either Jason Terry or Rahim, the best players on the two teams, who got him as a substitute......

……

Sometimes, the less you look forward to it, the more it happens to fall on you.

The team's press officer, Stots Bol, came to inform Liu Mang that ESPN Sports was going to interview him!

Even Coach Kruger was alarmed by this, a big TV station came to visit a rookie? Liu Mang is not a popular rookie, this treatment is a bit wrong, it should be at least the treatment of players in the lottery area, and the Eagles are not a popular team, there is no such situation, even if Liu Mang plays really well.

At the same time, Liu Mang's identity as a Chinese player, in the case that the Chinese market has not been officially opened, there is very little hype specifically for him, because the hype is useless, now Liu Mang's main identity in the NBA is the Hawks player, the market value of Chinese players has not been developed, and even for some reasons if the domestic people who do not follow the NBA do not know that the NBA has another Chinese player, and now the network is not developed, Liu Mang has not caused domestic movement, If you want to hype, you have to be able to wait until Yao Ming enters the NBA, this is the consensus of Coach Kruger and the team management, and it is also a key year for Liu Mang's obscene development, and when it comes to the next year, I don't know the specific situation.

Yao Ming is one of the most important links between the NBA and China, and the future information age is an important reason for this bond to be completely connected, but Yao Ming's joining the NBA is the key!

Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang's excited expression when he heard the ESPN interview, and knew that he couldn't continue to block Liu Mang's contact with the media, which young man didn't like to be in the limelight? This is a pre-game interview that was broadcast live across the United States!

In this regard, Coach Kruger can only remind again and again: "Ace, you have to be careful of the language traps they set, they will guide you to say something they want, but those things are not good for you......"

Liu Mang nodded to indicate that he knew, saying that he would be honest...... What a fart! How can you not wave?
