11. Substitution of substitution

Do you know why the future Lin Crazy was so popular in New York that Chinese fans were surprised?

Now Liu Mang feels it.

Just because of one game, just because of three three-pointers, Phillips actually had hundreds of fans gathered at home wearing his jersey!

The Phillips Arena can seat 20,000 people, and if hundreds of fans spread out, it would definitely not be obvious, but these four or five hundred fans wearing his jerseys were stunned to change seats and change together! Gathered behind the tech desk, it's just too obvious!

Although there are not many people, and even small compared to the Iverson fans who occupy a third of the Phillips Center, Liu Mang felt the feeling of being recognized when he entered the stadium.

Is this called a little famous?

"Yes, the host, there was a balloon star Francis in the last game, the game was extremely concerned, and he played a wonderful performance in the face of Francis, similar to the Lin Madness you understand and scored 38 points on Kobe's head, but your influence is much smaller, your strength is too far from the peak Lin Crazy, Lin Crazy's peak ability value is 89, close to the top star, and your ability value is only 46."

No need you to remind you! If you don't have anything to do, let's do it! Other people's systems are all encouragement, all kinds of rewards to comfort, how come we are hit one after another?

Liu Mang is also helpless about this system, will this guy come out and make a whole posture when he pops? More comfortable in a different position?

Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill!

"Rest assured that when the host does something that has nothing to do with the system, or when the system determines that it is a private matter of the host, the system will automatically enter the standby state."

Liu Mang ignored this obscene system and began to warm up while looking at the people on the field.

Compared with his own team, Liu Mang feels that the lineup on the 76ers' side is simply invincible in the East that was defeated by Jordan!

Allen Iverson, the league's current No. 1 guard, scoring champion, steal king.

Aaron McGee, the best substitute in the league at the moment.

Deepbeken Mutombo, currently the league's best defensive interior lineman, has won four Defensive Player of the Year and has averaged more than 3.5 blocks per game since the start of his rookie season.

Derrick Coleman, the top power forward who averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per game before his injury last season.

Eric Snow, top-notch defensively, All-Defensive Team level, point guard with poor scoring ability but excellent passing awareness.

Matt Halprin, a rookie in '98, a white small forward with a tough style of play, his outside shooting is still undeveloped but extremely lethal under the basket, and his defense is known for being deadly.

Chuck Daley, the leader of the Pistons Bad Boys Army, the supervillain coach who invented Jordan's rule, announced his permanent retirement from basketball in 1999, which relieved the basketball community in the United States and even the world, because he is not only the head coach of the Pistons, but also the head coach of the Dream Team for many times.

In addition to the players, 76ers head coach Larry Brown is also a super coach, much more aura than the rookie coach Kruger on the Hawks' side.

It's a gorgeous superteam lineup.

In comparison, the Hawks, who were still suppressing the Rockets yesterday, are now facing anyone except Raheem, who can barely make a wave...... It's all spicy chicken......

However, there is still hope for the Hawks, because two days ago, in the NBA opener on October 31, the 76ers lost 72-103 at home to the Western powerhouse Mavericks by more than 30 points, and they were completely pressed, which made people have obvious doubts about the 76ers who now look stronger than last year, because Iverson and head coach Larry Brown had many conflicts last year, and this year's opener is almost silent with each other.

When Liu Mang was observing the opponent's lineup, Iverson on the 76ers' side also looked at him, and he looked at him directly.

He clearly felt the banter in Iverson's eyes.

Because Francis has already let out the word, the next game against the Hawks is to let him know what the NBA is.

Although Francis is old, he still belongs to the new generation of players in terms of age, and Iverson has played for 5 years, but he is also a young player, so they naturally regard each other as opponents.

Francis is only in the third grade, but he is already a first-class star, and the pressure on Iverson when he plays against Iverson is not small.

This is not a good sign for Liu Mang.

But what can Liu Mang do, that's it, the matter has come to this point, he can only see the move, although he has no good way to dismantle the move.

Similarly, Liu Mang knows that the lineup can't be changed, the lineup is good, last year's overall runner-up was strengthened, and his own side was a "weak chicken" who was eliminated by the Raptors 3-1 in the first round last year, and the lineup is incomparable.

Liu Mang got the ball and tried to shoot, indeed yesterday the feeling of taking the ball and feeling that the ball would fly into the basket is gone, the main practice is tactical running during the afternoon training, because Coach Kruger has too much trust in Liu Mang's three points, the "marksman" with a shooting rate of more than 4 percent in college, Liu Mang said that he is desperate, buddy wants to practice three points!

However, with the fusion of memory, the memory of this shooting is also there, but limited by the influence of the previous world's playing memory, the shooting cannot be as accurate as before, practice slowly, with the soft feel of the yellow race, it is still possible to become an excellent fixed-point pitcher.

But now, Liu Mang is a little anxious, this shot is basically equal to nothing!

How? How do you get it?

Liu Mang can only look forward to coming on as a substitute for a while to trigger the bench bandit skill and see what changes.

……

On November 2, 2001, the Eagles kicked off their second back-to-back game at home at Phillips Arena.

The starters on the Eagles' side, Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Sharif Rahim, Nazr Mohammed, Theo Ratliff.

The 76ers started Eric Snow, Allen Iverson, Matt Harprin, Derrick Coleman, Debine Mutombo.

Seeing Jason Terry, who was interviewed on the spot before the start of the game, clamoring to blow up Iverson, Liu Mang wanted to rub the camera, and then ran away decisively, it seems that Iverson has set his sights on himself, but don't let this famous big mouth make Iverson hate himself as much as Francis.

After the start of the game, Liu Mang's memory of the 76ers who entered the finals in the second year, although the lineup became stronger but collapsed, did appear, although the lineup crushed all teams in the league except for the Lakers, Spurs, Kings, and Mavericks, even the Trailblazers and Nets were not as good as the 76ers, but the strength they played was simply a dimension worse than last season, and they couldn't suppress the Hawks!

Larry Brown really doesn't know what offense is, just like the mad scientist Nelson Sr. doesn't know what defense is, last year it was Iverson who averaged 31 points per game, and this year it's become Iverson who picks Coleman, Coleman who picks Matt Harprin, and then Iverson picks up.

But there is a word called boom and bust, Iverson's peak, there is no doubt that last season, at the age of 26, he reached the peak of his career, but the peak means that he will not continue to rise, but every day that passes, he will fall one day.

This year's Iverson ability value is still as high as 94, and he is still the strongest guard in the league, but after all, he is a little weaker than before, and he has to be divided by the newcomers Coleman and Matt Harprin, and it seems that Iverson's sharpness has dropped greatly.

In Liu Mang's view, the most suitable style of play for Iverson is the kind of offensive tactics last season where he played alone and the other four grabbed offensive rebounds, which was most suitable for him, and now there are two other scorers with independent scoring ability, which has weakened the overall strength of the 76ers, and changed the team's scoring from the very average scoring method of Iverson dominating the second offense of others grabbing offensive rebounds to focusing on Iverson, Coleman, and Matt Prince, and the others are all spectators.

That is, the 76ers have become a 3-on-5 situation on the offensive end, only two people rush to grab offensive rebounds, far less efficient than the previous 4 people rushing to grab offensive rebounds, offensive rebounds can not be guaranteed, the team's three scorers who control all shots are very inefficient, the highest Coleman shooting rate is less than 45 percent, and he is inside, the lowest Iverson shooting rate today is 6 of 16 in the first half, less than 40%.

Offensive rebounds can't be guaranteed, in the case of continuous iron, back defense is a big problem, the Hawks Jason Terry, Raheem are all counterattack masters, in the case of the overall lineup weaker than one grade, the Hawks seized the opportunity given by the 76ers, at the end of the first half, they were stunned to bite the score, and the halftime was tied at 54!

The Eagles' first half today was undoubtedly outstanding! Tied last season's overall runner-up!

But Liu Mang's side ......

Sure enough, even if he scored 10 points in a single quarter in the last game, or 10 points in a single quarter in the crucial final quarter, Liu Mang also has a hunch, which still can't change his identity as a substitute in the bench, that is, the water cooler administrator.

In the first half, the game was hot, but it had nothing to do with Liu Mang, and he didn't get a second of playing time.
