999. A brand new season, the Spurs who have always been "favored".
“91……”
"Hey......"
“92……”
“93…… Oh...... Boss Ace is amazing......"
The young people in the first and second grades of the Eagles gathered around to watch Liu Mang's three-point test, and after reaching 80, they were all counting around, and in the end, Liu Mang's three-point test of 100 shots scored a total of 93!
Stockton, who was making the record, was surprised, and Korver smiled helplessly.
When Stockton was still playing, it wasn't without him making more than 90 shots from 100 in practice, but only once in a while, and Korver was no different.
And Liu Mang took the ball and threw it directly, and he threw 93 for the first time, and he looked dissatisfied, and the two had nothing else to say except for shrugging helplessly.
As October gets closer and closer, the teams have started training camps one after another.
The league's schedule for the season is to start training camp on October 1, but no team will actually start training camp at that time, and seven days is not enough time to practice their tactics.
September 24th is the physical test time for the Eagles players, and the 25th is the technical test.
The technical test, which attracts the most attention, is, of course, the shooting test.
In Liu Mang's shooting test, Liu Mang's results among outside players, Liu Mang ranked second in layups, first in mid-range shots, first in three-point shooting, and second only to Calderon in free throws, allowing new players to have a good look at his awesomeness.
There was no need for anything else, just training, and Liu Mang let the newcomers know why he could become the strongest scoring champion in the past 40 years, surpassing Jordan.
As for the look of dissatisfaction with his performance and his casual appearance before training...... It's loaded.
Liu Mang practiced hard before the test, and went all out during the test, but pretended to be ...... You always have to pretend to be one, otherwise how can you control the field.
In the past two days, Liu Mang observed his teammates.
The strongest helper is Maddie, without a doubt.
"Tracy McGrady: Ability rating 98, offense 95, defense 89, three-point 88, mid-range shooting 92, layup 96, passing 90, speed 91, power 87......"
Maddie spent more time training in the summer than Liu Mang, arriving in Los Angeles in July and training in August, and the effect is still obvious.
However, the team's third-strongest substitution is no longer Rasheed Wallace.
"Rasheed Wallace, Ability rating 85, offense 81, defense 90, three-point 84, shooting 79, layup 88, speed 82, power 91......"
Rasheed Wallace, who is over 30 years old, has grown a year older, and the decline has been very obvious, from the speed of 84, which was comparable to a small number of guards, to 82, which is the most obvious decline, and therefore affects his offensive performance.
Rasheed Wallace is smart enough to make the transition to a defensive shooting center after the end of last season, and that's now to be expected.
And Rasheed Wallace's defense is still solid, maintaining a top-notch defensive level, and the decline in physical fitness is only relative, and he is still tough compared to most interior players.
The team's third-place finisher turned into Jason Terry.
"Jason Terry, Ability rating 87 (peak), offense 90, defense 73, three-point 90, mid-range shooting 89, layup 87, speed 93, power 75......"
Jason Terry's peak period is very long, and among all his teammates, Liu Mang is the least worried about Jason Terry, this guy is durable, and his peak is long.
The Eagles' four first-class stars and above are the key to the team's victory.
Kwame Brown has also improved a lot.
"Kwame Brown, Ability Rating 84, Offense 75, Defense 89, Three-Point 45, Shooting 61, Layup 88, Rebounding 92, Speed 84, Power 93......"
Kwame Brown's offense is simply spicy, perhaps because he missed the offensive polishing period of the first two years in the NBA, and now the offense is really getting worse and worse, and the small hand may also be one of the key reasons.
But the defense is almost at the top, and it's extremely close to Rasheed Wallace's defense.
Of the six main cores, only Prince has not made significant progress.
"Tyshawn Prince, Ability rating 83, offense 77, defense 94, three-point shooting 84, shooting 70, layup 86, speed 90, power 86......"
Since Prince's sophomore year, defense has almost been his peak, and the league's strongest single-defense technical outside lineman has no solution to the outside defense, especially defensive shooting.
But Prince's talent is limited, and the other four of the Pistons Five Tigers have become All-Stars in the original time and space, and he is not alone, and it is not for nothing.
Aside from defense and open three-pointers, as well as cutting through speed and size, there are basically no other means of scoring, and three-pointers are not particularly good, not to the level of being a main shooter.
But Prince was perfect for the Eagles.
Not greedy for merit, good character, mainly ...... Loyal.
I don't know if it's a good thing, Prince is unexpectedly loyal to the Eagles.
The new season is the fourth year of Prince's rookie contract, and the Hawks don't know how to negotiate a contract with Prince, and they don't know how much to give, but Prince took the initiative to find management and ask for a contract extension.
Prince is not a player of Liu Mang's agency, he usually has a cold personality, in addition to dancing, which can arouse his interest, he usually accompanies his wife and daughter at home in addition to training, and rarely goes out with his teammates, it used to be said that Liu Mang was a nightclub insulator before the age of 21, in fact, Prince is the nightclub insulator, but his sense of presence is too low, no one notices.
The six players in the core roster are at least quasi-first-class stars, and apart from the Hawks, only the Mavericks and Bulls are two teams in the league that can match.
With Liu Mang and Maddie two superstars, perhaps only the core duo of the Heat team can compare.
Of course, the combination of one inside and one outside is much better than the combination of two outside lines, which is structurally much better.
In addition to Jason Terry, the strongest player in the bench is Iguodala, whose ability rating has increased from 73 last season to 79, which is close to a quasi-first-class star.
Then there is Josh Smith, whose ability rating has soared from 69 in his rookie season to 78, a terrifying increase!
Although it can't be compared with the top five picks of the 03 generation, the two of them are rookies in the past two years, except for the top five of the 03 generation, their talent can be regarded as one of the best, not the core of the team, and they are not even the training objects of the top ones, and they still have so much improvement.
Iguodala is progressing towards the all-around swingman, Josh Smith is mainly improving his finishing ability under the basket and helping defense, as well as advancing and passing on the fast break, and the Hawks coaching staff has worked on Josh Smith's physical talent and good hands.
Moning's ability evaluation has slipped to 78, 70 on offense, 86 on defense, okay on defense, and the offense has declined the fastest, after all, at this age, he has experienced such a serious illness, and at the age of 35, this level is already very powerful, and he can still be the second and third center.
Korver's progress is very strange, the ability evaluation has increased to 70, and it is really okay to go to some strong teams that need pitchers to play as starters, because his three-point ability evaluation has reached 88, and he is only in the third grade, and he has Maddy's current three-point level, and because he is a pure pitcher, the shooting rate is definitely higher than that of Maddy's most of the time when he fights against the defense.
But except for the three-point range, Korver's layup evaluation is only 79, the offensive overall evaluation is only 70, but the defensive evaluation is as high as 76!
Liu Mang remembers that in the original time and space, the 37-year-old Korver was still the best player on the outside of the Cavaliers.
It's very offbeat, and it's quite bizarre.
Calderon's ability rating has increased to 72, and it is more than enough to play Liu Mang's bench, with a three-point rating of 86 and a passing rating of 92.
The rookie Granger is still very far from the soul of the Pacers in Liu Mang's impression, only 68 ability evaluation, needs to be trained well, and may be able to take on big responsibilities in the next two years, and now he doesn't need to contribute much, Iguodala and Korver have gradually grown up, and now there are Barry and Horry.
On the contrary, David Lee, a rookie with a much lower rank, is very good, 72 ability evaluation, offense reached 83, the Hawks' strongest interior offensive ability is actually a rookie, but the defense is a pitiful 62, mainly in the problem of enthusiasm, the defensive end is seriously distracted, when you want to use him, you must be matched with an inside gate.
Barry's ability evaluation is 75, his skills are comprehensive, and his physical fitness has declined a lot at the age of 34, but his shooting is stable, which is enough, Horry's ability evaluation is 73, and his shooting is not as accurate as Barry's, but this guy's characteristics are amazing.
"Mr. Key Level 4: The more big the game, the more accurate Robert Horry's three-point shot is."
Last season's Horry was probably the pinnacle of his career Finals, Liu Mang checked, Horry averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game with a 47% three-point shooting rate in six Finals games, second only to Liu Mang's own average of 2.6 three-pointers per game in the Finals, more than Jason Terry's average of 2.1 three-pointers per game.
Normally, the Hawks may not use Horry very well, but in key games, maybe it will be no worse than Jason Terry.
This lineup...... Counting the additional players, as well as the progress of young players, as well as the adjustment of the players in terms of playing style in the direction that the team needs, compared to the top-heavy structure at the beginning of last season and the rookie lineup that is so tender that it hurts, Liu Mang is too satisfied!
Moreover, the biggest difference between Liu Mang's teammates is that a few old fritters are nothing, mainly young people, and their mood has changed a lot!
Iguodala and Josh Smith are in their sophomore years, and they know how to develop in their rookie season, work hard in the direction the team needs, and want to be on the team for the new season, even ...... Lower gram up!
It's a strong mentality, but it's not offensive, and it's disappointing for young talented players to not want to get down.
Next season is the season of early contract renewal for the two, and both want to renew their contracts early, as for whether it can be done, it depends on the performance of the new season.
Prince is in contract year and has to work hard to show himself.
Kwame Brown's hard-won position as a core center will naturally not allow the opportunity he has so hard to seize to slip away.
Maddie, who just won the first championship, was fooled by Liu Mang into wanting to help build a dynasty, and his training in the summer was also very active.
Many fans and media think that the Eagles will slack off after two consecutive championships, but he ignores that Maddie is only the first championship, and Maddie is holding the mentality of only winning one championship to strive to establish a dynasty, which is much stronger than the mentality of completely slacking off after two consecutive championships.
Iguodala, Josh Smith and others are in their second year, and Korver is only in his third year, so he has a real chance to become the main rotation this season, and it is impossible to relax.
Liu Mang watched his teammates continue to do tests, the old players were at their peak or peak tail, and the young players were positive, this feeling made Liu Mang can't wait to start the new season!
……
As the clock progressed, October arrived, and the Eagles' training camp continued.
There are not many tactical changes in the Hawks this season, the core lineup and the main rotation are all players from last season, and the new arrivals, including Horry and Barry, are just reserve players.
By October, less than a month before the start of the new season, the Hawks had seven preseason games in 16 days, starting on the 8th and ending on the 23rd, and the regular season began on the 28th.
On October 7th, at 12 noon on the last day of the training camp, it was the day when the major authoritative media announced the rankings of the major lists every year.
The Eagles only have a training session in the morning today, and in the afternoon they let the players who have been training camp for more than ten days rest, and the preseason will start tomorrow.
After Liu Mang's training in the morning, he went home to accompany Alexia, who had entered the waiting period.
Originally, the two always planned to send Alexia to the hospital to give birth, but ...... As soon as Levia made a phone call, an obstetrician and gynecologist from Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, the best maternity hospital on the South Coast, came to Liu Mang's house with his assistant to vacate a room and set up a makeshift emergency room......
Disinfection work, professional equipment, Liu Mang feels that it is worth spending this money!
Liu Mang doesn't know what to say, a girl with a building is willful.
Therefore, Liu Mang spent more time at home, and he didn't have to run in the hospital, the stadium, and the home as he had expected.
At 12 o'clock, Liu Mang and Xiao Lori swiped the news on the Internet together, waiting for the rankings to come out.
Of course Liu Mang cares about this matter!
There was an extra rookie list before the season this year, which used to be only after the start of the season, but this time, the major media uniformly used the performance of the summer league to make a rookie list.
The first thing to be announced is the rookie list.
Contrary to Liu Mang's expectations, the first rookie was not the three highly anticipated point guards, nor the champions, but the Bobcats' short and fat power forward Sean May!
But it's normal to think about it, Sean May is the MOP of the NCAA Final Four, almost 22 years old, more mature than most rookies, coupled with that flexible fat body type and self-confidence, it is normal to perform well in summer league.
In terms of team power rankings, the Hawks are undoubtedly first, the Spurs are second, the third is the Suns, and the fourth is the Pistons, and almost all the top four in the authoritative media list are like this, except for the third and fourth place changes, the top four are all these four teams.
But the fifth...... Something's going on......
The Lakers are fifth! The Heat are in sixth!
Sports Illustrated, ESPN, . The three giant media all ranked the Lakers fifth and the Heat sixth!
It's a proper thing!
Not only the media, but also the League.
In the announced schedule, there are only two games in this year's Christmas War.
One is the Lakers playing the Heat, the other is the Hawks playing the Suns, and then it's gone!
The Lakers' opening game was also against the Heat, and the Hawks' opening game was against the Pistons.
The league and the media are doing something!
However, the strength of the team and the strength of the rookies are not the most concerned, and the most concerned is of course the star power rankings!
In the first two seasons, Liu Mang, who had been in the top five of the league's power rankings given by the media like a tank, is now curious about his ranking on the star list.
It's actually in reverse order!
Liu Mang searched for the keyword eagle and pulled it to the top fifty, and he didn't need to look at the back.
Kwame Brown was at 22, Rasheed Wallace was 26, Prince was 40 and Mourning was just 50 in goal.
Jason Terry is 15th, and the aftermath of the two-time championship has allowed Jason Terry to enter the top 15 in the league for the first time.
Jason Kidd dropped to 16th, and Kidd slipped too much last season.
The Eagles are in the top 50 of the league against six major players, plus veteran Mourning.
Fourteenth, Stoudemire, thirteenth, Yao Ming.
Yao Ming pressed Stoudemire, which had a lot to do with going to Los Angeles.
Twelfth, Carter, No. 11, Wade, No. 10, Kobe, Ninth, James, No. 8 O'Neal, No. 7, Nowitzki, No. 6 Iverson, No. 5, Nash, No. 4, Maddy, No. 3 Garnett.
2nd Place...... Ace Liu......
Liu Mang saw that he was actually the second!
First: Tim Duncan!
"Damn! Uncle is the second! Liu Mang didn't say anything yet, Xiao Loli didn't know where to learn Chinese swearing, and the combination of Chinese and English came with a swear word and then used it to finish the second half of the sentence.
"How can a child swear!" Liu Mang pinched Little Lori's face and maliciously ate tofu, "But Dinah is right, why is that guy the first, I just beat him, those media are too biased in favor of the Spurs!" ”
"That's right, that's right! The league and the media are the same, both favoring the Spurs against us! Little Lori strongly agreed.
"The Spurs must have some ulterior secret with the league! Duncan's guy is too much cared for by the Alliance. Liu Mang continued to complain.
Liu Mang was chewing the root of his tongue with little Lori and complaining about Duncan when his mobile phone rang.
Liu Mang took out his mobile phone, and the name on the caller ID was Duncan.
Liu Mang answered the phone: "What's the matter, Tim, what's the matter?" ”
There was a laughing voice on the other end of the phone: "I am the MVP of Lianzhuang, and I am still the No. 1 ...... Toot Toot Toot ......"
Liu Mang hung up the phone when he heard Duncan say this, and was stunned for a while.
"Uncle, uncle, Duncan's poker face called? What did he say? Little Lori asked curiously.
Liu Mang reacted at this time, and angrily wanted to smash the mobile phone on the ground, but fortunately he held back, although the price of the mobile phone has been reduced now, and you can buy a beautiful mobile phone with a good style for two or three hundred US dollars, but Liu Mang is a thrifty person and will not do such extravagant and wasteful things, and what should I do if I smash the mobile phone and frighten the little Lori?
It's just that Liu Mang didn't expect that Duncan, who had established the status of the No. 1 striker in history, would be so bad after his personality became so bad!
"Dinah, that poker face is taunting me!" Liu Mang said that he picked up the little Lori and ate tofu, and when he grew up, he couldn't eat tofu, so he had to eat more now......
