Gee...... The body is perfect!

Andre Iguodala, Ability Rating 73, Offense 69, Defense 77, Three-Point Range 73, Shooting 60, Layup 80, Power 86, Speed 91, Passing 86, Rebounding 81......

This strength, this speed, this physical fitness, there are no words! However, the strongest is the ability evaluation, and the most powerful are rebounding and passing...... It's also a weird player.

Liu Mang saw that Iguodala was still wearing a blue and white jersey for training, with a height of 1.98 meters, the last time he saw such a strong but beautiful player, Liu Mang thought of a little blacksmith who made people want to tease when they saw it.

Jordan has reached the last three consecutive years, especially the Wizards, and his figure has moved closer to the burly direction.

Liu Mang thought that Wade was in good shape, but his cheeks were too big, which affected his appearance......

Then Liu Mang looked at himself and was silent, although he didn't say that he was skinny, but compared with other players with a strength close to 80, he was always a little thinner, which would always make people subconsciously ignore that he was already very strong.

Outside players like Iguodala, Kobe, Wade, and Francis who have a strength rating of more than 85 are very few.

The ability evaluation of 73 is already in line with the strength of a high-ranking rookie, and it can already rank fourth in terms of combat power in this rookie.

It may be that I was dazzled by last year's rookies, the top five picks last year, the ability evaluation was all above 75 in the draft, and by the beginning of the new season, they were all close to 80, and even James had reached 80.

And this year's rookie, champion Lang Howard is only 70 ability evaluation, offense is basically equal to Ben Wallace, high school purely physical, only 61, defense is powerful, 18 years and six months, already 79 defensive evaluation, mainly physical fitness, similar to Kwame Brown when he entered the NBA, speed as high as 86, guard level.

Okafor is the strongest, and he has an ability evaluation of 80 when he was first selected into the NBA, which is much more powerful than Yao Ming, the champion who entered the NBA only 20 days away from the same age, and is the player with the highest ability rating when he was selected since Tim Duncan in 97, which is more powerful than James when he was selected.

However, in Liu Mang's memory, Okafor's potential is not high, and it seems that his rookie season is at the peak.

The other two were better than Iguodala, and both were drafted by the Bulls, with Roel Deng's 74 ability rating and Ben Gordon's 75 ability rating.

However, the top three picks did not fall out because of problems such as going to the wrong team, not adapting to the NBA, etc., which is very surprising this time.

A high pick is a high pick, and apart from Iguodala, the most powerful of the other players the Hawks drafted was not the other two first-round picks, but Vallejo......

69's ability evaluation, as a second-round pick, has strength close to the average level of the starter, the offense is extremely poor, only 57, but the defense has 73, when the substitute is enough, what makes Liu Mang feel the most annoying is this guy's physical fitness...... 94……

However, Liu Mang was surprised by Valejo's rebounding ability, Liu Mang didn't expect Vallejo's rebounding evaluation to be as high as 89! In the case of average physical fitness, such a good rebounding ability is completely unexpected! The rebounding ability is actually the best among the rookies in this class!

However, limited by physical fitness and comprehensive strength, Liu Mang really feels a pity for such good rebounding skills and prediction, if this rebounding ability is given to Kwame Brown, it will be amazing.

Thinking of this, Liu Mang glanced at Kwame Brown in the "temporary bodyguards" behind him, this guy broke out with great rebounding, and he could get double 20 in more than 30 minutes, but he was usually average, only five or six rebounds in 23 minutes of playing time, and he had to learn to grab rebounds with his teammates more this season.

The other Tony Allen, with an ability rating of 65 and Ariza 66, are the same, both of which are strong and weak in attack, and they are all used to make up for the decline in defense after the departure of Raheem and Barnes.

Finally, Liu Mang looked at Josh Smith.

Now seven pairs of the youngest, 18 years and six months.

Ability evaluation 64, offensive technology is basically not there yet, it is completely equal to a jade to be developed, but ...... Speed 90, Power 82, Bounce 92...... It's all as good as James! And it's three centimeters taller than James, not to mention from one defense to five, it's no problem to play from one to five.

However, Liu Mang also probably knows why Josh Smith's playing style has been changing with the change of coach, because he is talented enough and learns everything quickly, and the coach changes back and forth, seeing such a genius who learns everything quickly, he asks him to become a player according to the player he wants, and in the end he learned everything, but he didn't learn anything, resulting in the 30s being unable to play.

It can also be said that in the end, Josh Smith couldn't play because he couldn't play...... In the future, with the entry of the 90s into the NBA, the overall ability of the league has been greatly improved, and role players can practice a certain ability to the top, this kind of player who can do anything, everything is just an average level, no team is willing to want it, and there will be no shortage of talents who are proficient in one aspect in the future, and there is no need for a panacea.

Almighty, and jack-of-all-trades, the gap is still very big.

Cultivating Josh Smith is the key, Liu Mang remembers that Josh Smith's best years were before 2010, when Mike Woodson was the head coach of the Hawks, and he was selected to the All-Defensive Team in 2010, but then he changed coaches and let him be in charge of scoring.

Liu Mang plans to suggest to the coach that Mike Woodson practice this guy's defense and master a certain aspect first.

……

Today is June 30th, and Maddie has come to the team yesterday to report, and these newcomers have already come to Atlanta to rent a house and start training with the team in preparation for the next summer league.

Mostly two second-round picks, and they're still worried about contracts.

Liu Mang made an appointment with Maddie to meet in the stadium today, and by the way, he called Kwame Brown, Muhammad and others to come to the stadium to see the rookies together, Korver, Calderon have long come to the stadium to train, they also want to play summer league, Jason Terry and Rasheed Wallace, two spokespersons for Chinese sneaker brands in Asia, especially in Chinese, have begun summer publicity activities on the 24th, no way, early July is the time for superstars to promote, and no one will pay attention to them at that time.

Iguodala, Josh Smith, Tony Allen, Vallejo, and Ariza looked at the eyes of a group of championship bigwigs on the other side, and their whole bodies were hairy.

The others didn't say it, just one Liu Mang and one Maddie, let them see it and want to go up to ask for an autograph, when these two people brought a group of teammates to see them, they lined up in a row, a little at a loss.

"Tracy, you pick two." Liu Mang said.

"What to choose?" Maddie was stunned and asked, choose two? Dude doesn't have a hobby in this area!

"Bodyguard! As the superstar teammate of this MVP, of course, you must choose two bodyguards to take with you, otherwise what if you go out and get beaten? Liu Mang said very seriously.

"......" Maddie's eyes, which were a little squinting without glasses, rolled her eyes widely: I thought that everyone was like you, and there were a million people who wanted to beat you!

But it's still good to choose someone to buy water or something, Maddie looked at five people, and the shyest was the high school student who made Maddie identify with the most, pointed to Josh-Smith and said, "Just Josh, we are all high school rookies, I can take him." ”

Maddie is using Josh Smith as a small forward, after all, the height is not too far apart, and the size is the same as James's perfect forward type.

"OK, Josh, you wait until the summer league is over and train with Tracy, Andre, Tony, you guys train with me in the future, Anderson, you train with Kwame, Trevor, you work with Tyshawn and Keller on defense and open threes." As the boss, Liu Mang designated the seniors of the new teammates to guide the team, and by the way, arranged a younger brother for Korver, a guy who had been pestering him for a long time.

The coaches on the side saw that Liu Mang was becoming more and more like a boss, and began to take care of this matter, and they were all very satisfied, the identities of the players in the team are different, which is inevitable in the NBA, and players are always required to do dirty work on the court.

The Eagles in the previous three years were willing to sacrifice because that group of people rose together, but now, it is no longer the previous Eagles, and the Eagles can only remain in the hearts of everyone on that team.

Especially Coach Kruger, after seeing Raheem leave, Liu Mang finally looked like the boss, and Maddie didn't back down when he came, which is really not easy! It's the fourth year! to really become the boss of the team.

The senior players have no opinions, and many people take bags to buy water and practice as free sparring partners, and they are naturally happy.

And the five rookies were even more excited, especially those who became the mentors of Liu Mang and Maddie, all of them were about to jump, and they were all overjoyed.

As players who have just come out of high school and college in the United States, they have heard of various intra-team conflicts in the professional league, as well as the suppression of new players by the older generation of players.

The Timberwolves famously turned the fame of Garnett and Joe Smith into the white power center of Wisconsin in 1997 with the 20th pick in the first round...... Another player known as the hope of a white center, but with depression, did not enter the NBA until the end of the shutdown in 1998, and was maliciously cursed by Garnett and Joe Smith in training that Paul Grant would jump off the building due to depression, and eventually, this player played 16 games on and off and was completely away from the NBA.

After being exposed, young people have a deeper understanding of how sinister the NBA is.

However, the five guys of the Eagles, who came to Atlanta three days ago and were warmly entertained by Korver, were only responsible for helping to carry bags and brush shoes, and now the boss has directly found famous seniors for them to guide them, and they have never had any extravagant expectations before, even if it is Iguodala of the No. 6 show.

This is the most team in the history of 86 wins in a single season!

As for carrying bags, brushing shoes, and buying drinks, isn't that what a rookie should do?

……

New assistant coach John Stockton brought the rookies, as well as Korver and Calderon, to practice in preparation for the upcoming summer league, and Muhammad, Kwame Brown and Prince followed to put together a five-man team to give the rookies a taste of what the NBA is like.

It's really a coincidence, the rookie five, Iguodala can play point guard and is good at organizing offense, Tony Allen is good at defensive scoring guard and small forward, Ariza is a bit of a dish, and he was only a role player in college, but defense and three-point shooting are strong points, basically he can only play small forward, Josh Smith, who was the dunk king and block king in high school, Vallejo, pure center.

And the veteran players, Calderon, Korver, Prince, Mohammed, Kwame Brown, just happen to be a finishing team as well.

So the coaching staff decided to let the newcomers feel the despair sooner rather than later......

……

……

The two came to the seats on the edge of the training ground, sat and watched the rookie being abused, and held a press conference for Maddie in the afternoon to welcome Maddie's arrival, so Liu Mang will make an appointment with the players to come to the stadium today, mainly to welcome Maddie to join.

Since Maddie has not yet renewed his contract, the Eagles' welcome ceremony is more solemn and has been preparing for several days to give Maddie enough face.

As for whether to renew the contract, Liu Mang has not yet discussed it with Maddie, and the content of the last conversation was very positive, but there are still many questions in it.

The two watched the rookie team be miserably abused, even Calderon and Korver, both threw Iguodala and Tony Allen to the point of collapse, Calderon and Korver did an excellent job of using their teammates to block and pick-and-roll, and their teammates also had excellent blocking awareness, while the rookie team was completely disorganized and had better physical fitness, but they couldn't play at all.

Seeing that the rookies had no power to fight back, Liu Mang and Maddie laughed at the game from the beginning, and when they saw that they had become less interested later, they began to chat.

Finally, after a phone call from the last deal, the two can talk again.

Without asking that question again, after sitting down and ordering drinks and snacks, Liu Mang asked, "Tracy, are you participating in the Olympics?" ”

Maddie didn't continue the conversation last time, and replied to the question at hand: "Oh, I'm not going, I'm worried about the injury recurrence, and Greece is too unsafe, I suggest you don't go either." ”

"That's not going to work, I have to participate, we're a little different." Liu Mang is still very positive about winning glory for the country, he can scold his country for what is not good, but others can't scold him, in the same way, he can dislike his country, but if he has the opportunity to rely on himself to make the country stronger in some way, it will be very positive.

"That's a shame, if only I hadn't been injured and the team advised me not to participate, I don't have a chance to beat you in the NBA right now, and it's fun to beat you in the Olympics." Maddie teased.

"You don't have to be sorry, maybe we won't have a chance to play each other at the Olympics." Liu Mang said, his eyes unconsciously looking elsewhere.

"Why? Don't you still have Big-YAO and Big-By? "In Maddie's worldview, China's CBA is the second league in the world, and Liu Mang and Yao Ming have had a great impact.

"Well, thank you for being so optimistic about us, but I didn't mean that, I think you might be eliminated before you even met us." Liu Mang said with a wink.

"Hahaha......" Maddie laughed heartily, he took this for Liu Mang was joking.

Seeing that Maddie didn't worry about the Olympics at all, Liu Mang also smiled, and thought maliciously: Dude has already reminded you! You're going to be targeted at the Dream Team's shame, don't blame the buddy for not saying it in advance.

Although two years ago, at the World Championships in Indiana, the American team lost badly, they are not worried at all now, Yugoslavia is gone, and they are not worried about other opponents at all.

Moreover, in 2002, not a single superstar in the NBA was sent, but this time, Iverson and Duncan agreed to participate in the Olympics, and the others include James, Wade, Anthony, Boozer, Stoudemire, Marion...... Waiting for a bunch of new stars to participate in the training camp, Okafor and Howard, who have just entered the NBA, have also entered the training list of the American team, as well as powerful players such as Marbury and Odom, it is normal for Maddie to be "empty-eyed", even if he regrets not being able to participate, there are still Iverson and Duncan.

"Then Tracy, what are you doing in the summer?" Liu Mang asked casually.

"Oh, I asked Kobe Bryant and Vince, they don't participate in the Olympics, I'm going to go fishing with them." Maddie also began to chatter casually.

"Fishing?" Liu Mang was thrilled and asked, "Tracy, you like fishing very much?" ”

"Yes, fishing is a lot of fun, waiting for the fish to be hooked, boring but with anticipation, when I was in Orlando, I would drive to the beach to fish when I had time." Maddie answered very casually, very in line with his casual personality, although he has not renewed his contract, and he doesn't know the positioning given to him by the team when the Olympics are over and training camp begins, but when he comes to the Eagles, he sees that Calderon and Korver, who couldn't play in the Hawks last season, are better than his guard teammates last season, and he feels very comfortable, and the whole person is relaxed.

However, Liu Mang can't relax!

Liu Mang called Emmanuor, who was the temporary referee, over, and Emmanuol saw Liu Mang's eagerness, and immediately blew a timeout and ran over.

Liu Mang said seriously: "Emmanuor, tell the coach about the new team rules, prohibiting players from fishing during the season!" ”

Emmanuol thought something was the matter, and when she heard this, she was stunned and asked, "Ah? Why? ”

"Unlucky! Don't you see that Tracy, who loves fishing, can't make the playoffs! Liu Mang is very serious, very serious, with a divine expression.

Maddie next to "......" has a black line on her face, feeling targeted!
