It's a big head!

Coach Krueger wanted to make some changes and it didn't work out in the first game...... The ideal state is not to succeed in the first game, the results in the previous years were too good, there is a feeling of destiny, everything is smooth sailing, so although Coach Krueger thought that the new season will not be easy in the summer, but when it comes to encountering things, it is still very uncomfortable.

For example, Liu Mang's playing time allocation, from an average of 39 minutes per game last season, to being replaced in the first quarter of the first game and resting for four minutes, is a big change.

Jason Terry's style of play is fine, he's always been a waver, he doesn't see any change, and he's in just the right shape.

And Maddie is also prodigious, or proud!

The defensive end is also a problem, Maddie's defense has seen some changes in mentality, and it can be seen in the first game that when defending Crawford, Maddy does not look down on Crawford at all and is not as focused on the defensive end as he has been in the past two years.

Maybe Maddie didn't even notice it herself.

And let Maddie defend Novitsky, Maddie immediately did her best, but Nowitzki was in too good shape, and Maddie couldn't prevent it if she was serious.

There is also the defensive cooperation of Marion and Kwame Brown, Kwame Brown is good at single defense and top people, it used to be Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace to block, now Rasheed Wallace can only play center, the big forward is inefficient, Marion is not used to the center to give him top people, he used to help Stoudemire top people......

The two are accustomed to sacrificing their own data to help others' interior players, and they are both defensive giants with a defensive rating of more than 90, which has to be said to be a happy annoyance, and it has to be made for the two to get used to their teammates to get better......

This...... It's a blissful annoyance.

In addition, there is also the difference between ideal tactics and actual operation, 5 of the 12 players who activated the squad are new recruits or have not partnered with the main team much in the second year, and the tacit understanding of offense and defense is not enough......

There are too many problems for the Eagles to solve.

There was only a training session for tomorrow's game against the Raptors this afternoon, and Liu Mang was in the office in the morning to study solutions to these problems with Coach Krueger and Stockton, and Mike Woodson also came to the arena at nine o'clock to discuss together.

For some problems, there are solutions.

"Let me do my usual defense and let Tracy rest on the defensive end against normal opponents." Liu Mang gave advice on Maddy's performance in the first game that he looked down on the average opponent.

In the past, he was the weakest point of the opponent's perimeter except for the speed point guard, and he could focus on helping defense and offense, but now he needs to do the dirty work.

Maddie's situation is not easy to solve, pride is such a thing, if you lose last year, you can say anything this year, but people played a second-defense performance last year, if you don't count the scoring champion season, last season was Maddie's peak performance, high efficiency, personal honor peak, team honor peak defense championship.

Even brothers can't hit each other like this at this time.

"Ace, your physical fitness ......" Coach Kruger is still worried about Liu Mang's body.

"No problem!" Liu Mang's attitude was very firm.

"That's good......" Coach Kruger also has a way to deal with it.

A situation is in front of us, is it to use more role players, or will the core continue to grass the core to death?

Coach Kruger has now decided to settle down and choose the former!

Liu Mang's style of playing on the court, if you have to go all out at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, even if Liu Mang is not tired, as a coach, you have to reduce Liu Mang's playing time.

……

Some problems that can be thought of immediately with initial solutions have been solved as much as possible in the morning, and those that take time, such as running-in, finding tacit understanding, and making changes to the core for the changes of role players, can only be solved with the game by game.

In the afternoon, when the team tactical training, after the warm-up, Coach Kruger explained the content of today's tactical training and the playing time of tomorrow's game, and the role players were shocked!

"We need to develop more young players, use the depth of our squad, develop more tactical possibilities, our veterans in the past few seasons have been too physically exhausted, for the sake of the playoffs, the regular season will be appropriate to reduce the playing ......time of the starters," Coach Kruger explained the adjustment before training.

The rules of the NBA are that stars who have played for seven years are considered veterans, and the designated veteran clause is the clause for veterans who have played for seven years, Maddie is the tenth season of his career, and he is also considered a veteran for many years, Liu Mang and Kwame Brown are in their sixth season, and Jason Terry is in their eighth season.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry have played at least to the Eastern Conference finals in the past five years, Jason Terry is okay, he was originally a substitute for more than 20 minutes of playing time, Liu Mang's playing time is clearer, play a few minutes in the first quarter, and then let the substitute play more according to the situation.

And this substitute is ...... Rajan Rondo......

……

……

In the afternoon training, Liu Mang was a little sad, and his data was about to decline......

Think about those giant combinations, the data has declined, and Liu Mang's data in the past three seasons have been highlight, he himself thinks it's quite amazing, but now he has to face the situation of reducing playing time and sacrificing his data.

Liu Mang can accept it, but it is inevitable that he will be congested......

Tomorrow's opponent, the Raptors, beat the Memphis Grizzlies, who lost Pau Gasol, 109-77 in yesterday's opener.

When the coaching staff analyzed the Raptors' lineup, Liu Mang found out that the Raptors had quietly completed the rebuild in the summer, but those big trades were too eye-catching to notice them.

It's not a balloon star that's brought in, it's a powerful star, Joe Johnson and Richard Jefferson were picked up by the Raptors!

Joe Johnson didn't have many opportunities to perform with the Bucks last season, overlapped with Reed's position, suffered injuries again, and was not happy to play in Milwaukee, and applied for a trade, TJ Ford's progress did not meet expectations, and there were injury concerns, plus the Bucks' Mo Williams performed well, and the Bucks regretted giving TJ Ford a 5-year, 40 million early contract extension, which must be a garbage contract, so use Joe Johnson as a bargaining chip and bring TJ Ford to the Raptors.

On the Rockets' side, after getting Rudy Gay and Iguodala, in order to reduce expenses, sending Richard Jefferson to the Raptors for a top-20 pick protected first-round pick is basically equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

Rasheed Wallace's $9 million contract Rockets don't want, and Richard Jefferson's cap salary will naturally not be kept.

TJ Ford, Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, new champion Lang Baniani, Milicic ......

If you are not careful, the Raptors will become strong and have the ability to do things!

The west rises by plundering the stars of the east, and the east relies on picking up the rest of what the west doesn't want, plus they have a bad draft, and there are several strong teams in a daze!
