On the second day of the early-starting camp, the Eagles held a press conference for the start of the team's training camp.

Although one person is absent, the process that should be followed still has to be followed.

And it was true that Glenn Robinson could not be contacted before, and even Glenn Robinson's agent didn't know where he went, so the Hawks were ready to use a press conference to notify Glenn Robinson that training camp had started early.

Liu Mang knew the management's strange method, and felt that crows were flying all over the sky......

The Eagles' training camp press conference for the new season is a world away from last year.

Last year's small interview hall looked empty.

And this year, there are so many people that they can only be interviewed in the stadium, which makes people feel quite novel.

American reporters have a lot of questions, such as why Glenn Robinson didn't participate, what the Hawks' core players think of Glenn Robinson, why they didn't comment before, etc., etc.

However, although there are many media outlets in the major television stations, teams, and states in the United States today, only one-third of the number of reporters are domestic reporters.

There is only one goal for everyone - Liu Mang.

"What do you think of Yao Ming's performance at the World Championships?"

"Have your injuries healed? If you can, please don't play with an injury, we'll need you for the next World Series. ”

"What do you think are the chances of us winning this year?"

“……”

“……”

Liu Mang properly became the focus of the interview, the Eagles players were used to it, and the three new players saw this scene and saw that the other teammates who were not surprised at all also followed...... Get used to it.

Liu Mang simply answered a few main questions, and in Chinese: "I really want to play the Olympics and the World Championships with Da Yao, 2004 is a good time, we will all get stronger, my injury is almost better, no problem in the new season, the chances of winning the championship?" Our goal is only to win the championship. ”

……

……

Now the Eagles' lineup looks beautiful, but the coaching staff has been having a headache.

The squad structure is so poor!

The unshakable three-high lineup of Raheem, Mohammed, and Ratliff is the foundation of the Hawks, and the three-high defense and rebounding cannot be conceded.

Of course, Glenn Robinson can play at shooting guard, so the player manual clearly states that Glenn Robinson is a guard line player.

But Glenn Robinson plays point guard, and there is only one starting position left, but who starts Liu Mang or Jason Terry?

It's a constant headache for the coaching staff.

In recent years, NBA players are still very persistent in starting the game, although Liu Mang averaged 20+ per game and was selected as an All-Star last season, but it was only a beginning for star players to play on the bench.

And like the Hawks, there are so many stars that they don't know how to choose, except for the years when the Celtics won the championship, even Bill Wharton could only play on the bench, and even the bench was full of Hall of Fame players, and there have been no other examples.

Coach Kruger thinks that Liu Mang should have the ambition to be a starter or even a core now, no matter who has Liu Mang's attention and popularity now, he will want to be a starter!

So, Coach Kruger called Jason Terry over: "Jason, I want to talk to you about the style of play for the new season. ”

"Coach, please." Jason Terry answered.

"I hope you can play as a sixth man next season......," Coach Kruger said with some worries, fearing that this would cause conflicts within the team and affect the good relationship between Liu Mang and Jason Terry, so he was quite hesitant to find Jason Terry.

Who knows, Jason Terry's eyes lit up, and before Coach Kruger finished speaking, Jason Terry immediately agreed: "Good coach, I understand, I will do a good job as the sixth man." ”

"Uh......" Coach Krueger thought he had misheard, so easy and so simple?

Instead of being unhappy, Jason Terry seemed to have a weirdly happy feeling, which Coach Kruger couldn't understand.........

In the afternoon, when Coach Kruger called Liu Mang to rule that Liu Mang would be the team's starting point guard in the new season, Coach Kruger felt that his worldview was about to collapse.

"Starters? Coach, no need, Jason and the guy who hasn't come yet, no matter who plays the bench, they will be very unhappy, in order not to affect the team, I still play the bench! "Although Liu Mang doesn't need the bench bandits now, he has a slightly higher comprehensive ability than last year's trigger bench bandits, but the three-point shooting is only 83 now, and after the bench bandits are triggered, it is 88, the difference is still very big!

Coach Kruger said speechlessly: "Jason has agreed to play as a substitute......"

Depend on!

The dead dwarf wants a good thing for the bad master! Liu Mang hurriedly interrupted: "Coach, Jason must have let me because I have a good relationship with him, but he is stronger, let's let him start!" I...... I have a goal! That's the best sixth man for two years in a row! Become the No. 1 substitute in NBA history! ”

"......" Coach Kruger looked at Liu Mang who was competing with Jason Terry to play on the bench, is this the world changing fast? Or is Coach Ben getting old?

How can anyone fight for not wanting to be a starter? Both of them are all-stars, not to mention that Liu Mang was a rookie last year, this year he is already one of the leaders of the young generation who have "become famous", and they are still playing as substitutes, don't young people love face?

Suddenly, an idea popped up to Kruger: Could it be ...... Don't want to be paired with Glenn Robinson?

The Eagles were "overshadowed" at the beginning of the new season, and Coach Kruger rushed to report his major "discovery" to the team owner.

As soon as Liu Mang came out of Coach Kruger's office, he received a task prompt.

"Ding...... In response to the host's words, the system task was released: the king of the NBA bench, won the NBA regular season best sixth man award for two consecutive seasons, and the task reward: 1 talent skill fragment. Failure Penalty: Unknown. ”

"Ding...... Since the host has already received the Sixth Man of the Year once, a special buff is given: Pretend you are a sub. ”

"Pretend you're a sub: If the total number of substitute appearances reaches 60% of the total number of appearances in the current season, the host will start the next game, and the system will also default to the host as a substitute."

Don't, system boss! Brother, I'm just looking for an excuse to play as a substitute! How to give a task if you don't agree with each other!

Moreover, what does the failure penalty unknown mean?

And this pretends you're a sub...... It seems that the criteria for the Sixth Man of the Year are similar, and only players who have made more substitute appearances than the number of starts are eligible for the Sixth Man of the Year selection......
