993. The Long Grass (Asking for Tickets)
"Isn't your team's training gym in the city? Why don't you go back to your gym and train? After Liu Mang finished speaking, he threw a left-handed three-pointer, and there was a "bang".
"You used the arena I rented last year, and you have to return it this time!" Kobe Bryant threw a mid-range shot with his right hand, and it also "banged" with an iron sound.
"Didn't you use the arena you rented last year?" Liu Mang threw another left-handed three-pointer, and with good luck, he threw it in.
"Aren't you using the team you've rented this year?" Bryant also threw a right-handed mid-range shot again, and it was iron again.
After striking the iron, without waiting for Liu Mang to continue to fight back verbally, Kobe Bryant angrily changed his half court and went to practice his own.
In the past few months, Kobe Bryant has not only recuperated from injuries, but also lost muscles.
Losing muscle is more painful than losing fat, first of all, the process is slow.
Losing muscle is not the same as not eating protein, you still have to eat, and you can't eat junk food, avoid growing fat, and it's not that you don't train, you still have to train to avoid the protein you ingest into fat, but the way of training is very different from usual, the usual muscle training is to enhance explosiveness and muscle dimension, but in the past few months, Kobe's muscle training is mainly to train muscle endurance, but also to prevent the increase of muscle dimension......
Training troubles are second to Kobe, mainly because the muscles are smaller and the strength is weakened, which has a great impact on his shooting, and now he is not iron, and the injury in the middle of last month was completely healed, and from July 20th to 31st, the main thing is rehabilitation training and ...... was dragged by Liu Mang to take Liu Mang and Liu Mang's parents to Los Angeles, and now they have only started technical training.
Now Kobe's weight has been reduced to 95 kilograms, which is five kilograms lighter than last season, and has reached the weight of 1.98 meters in height given by the system.
"Kobe Bryant, Ability Rating 85 (Recovery), 69 Three-Point Range, 75 Shot, 90 Layups, 91 Speed, 89 ...... Power"
When Liu Mang saw Kobe's current ability evaluation, he offered to go head-to-head, but Kobe ignored him and went to practice shooting by himself.
Kobe Bryant knows his current situation better than anyone else.
The main reason is that Kobe Bryant needs to readapt to his current physical condition, so that Kobe's current habitual shooting is almost as iron as Liu Mang's left-handed shooting.
Of course, Kobe Bryant's right-handed shooting is much easier than Liu Mang's practice of his left hand, as long as he gets used to power, he will soon find his feel again.
However, he didn't regain his shooting feeling for a day, and he was stimulated by Liu Mang for a day.
This bastard! I actually spent four hours a day practicing 2,000 left-handed three-pointers!
This is Liu Mang's training method after using "Jason Kidd's Perseverance".
Shoot 1,000 threes every two hours, not the kind that throws it out and it's done, but the kind that takes a second or two to adjust and try to feel like it every time, in the morning and in the afternoon.
Kidd spent three months of crazy training last summer to develop the three points and reach the first-class level, but Kidd only trained in three months, and Liu Mang only needed one month.
In the same way of training, Kidd can only practice two or three times a week, not more, otherwise the body will not be able to stand it, and the physical fitness is also a problem, and he needs to rest.
But Liu Mang does not have this problem, Liu Mang's physical fitness medicine and injury medicine are the best help for him when training!
Coupled with better shooting talent and the addition of the system, Liu Mang can complete Kidd's training in 30 days, and he can still reach the first-class three-point level when the left-handed three-point is not as strong as Kidd's hard work.
Liu Mang is a little inexplicably looking forward to playing against Kidd next season, and stimulates this guy who was beaten by his wife with his left hand.
Two East Finals misses...... No, it's the hatred of defeat, Liu Mang, a broad-minded person, will never forget it.
Liu Mang did not stop during the interval, and after practicing the training specified in the special card, Liu Mang ate and drank drinks, and immediately began to practice the three points of his right hand.
With the development of the league, three points will one day become the most important weapon of the league, so Liu Mang first focuses on three points, and then he shoots.
Seeing Liu Mang training so crazy, Kobe Bryant also practiced even crazier.
Kobe's greatest talent may not be his physical talent, but his perseverance in training! Of course, this also reflects Kobe's physical talent, and his grass tolerance is too strong!
James, Iguodala, and Maddie, who were training together, were speechless about these two paranoids, and before they came, these two were competing, and they were still competing after they finished practicing......
James brought several masseurs from his massage parlor in this training, Liu Mang and others hired physiotherapists by themselves last year, and this time James handled this aspect of the matter.
Very good at being a courtesan of early thanks.
Iguodala is in charge of the diet, and invited a local dietitian in Los Angeles to be in charge of the meal plan for them, mainly Liu Mang, who practices more and consumes more, and eats the most, if it weren't for the millions of dollars Iguodala saved last season, he couldn't even afford to pay before meals.
Iguodala, who didn't spend a penny last year and followed the bigwigs, is now beginning to know how to exchange courtesies.
As for a certain striker who wears the No. 3 jersey...... Everyone else is used to it.
Wade was also invited to join him in training, but Wade had a training plan developed by Pat Riley.
When Liu Mang heard Wade say this, he knew that Wade still chose the same path as in the original time and space, sighed, and did not stop it.
This is Wade's own choice.
Moreover, Liu Mang didn't know that if he hadn't put so much pressure on Wade, Wade listened to his advice, maybe he would have chosen a steady development direction, but Wade knew that he was a little older than Liu Mang, and if he didn't pressure himself to make progress, he would always be crushed by Liu Mang, and he could only force himself into a desperate situation.
This is the same mood as Yao Ming going to the Lakers.
……
By August 11th, Liu Mang's training had gradually improved, and Iguodala learned all-round play from Maddy and James, and was also making steady progress.
Iguodala trains with James every morning, goes to training with Maddie in the afternoon, and wanders around with James in the evening......
Liu Mang always felt that James wanted to hook up with his little brother, but if he went with them, those who wanted to stay would stay, and those who wanted to leave couldn't stop him...... The point is that Iguodala is only in the second year, and it is still early before the end of his rookie contract, Iguodala is much better at following James and learning more about how to use his physical fitness.
Iguodala felt a sour feeling when she was learning from Maddie, and Maddie taught him to demonstrate it, and then it was gone...... It's gone...... Gone...... Finish......
It's true that Maddie is very good at using her body, but she doesn't know how to teach Iguodala how to use her body.
But James is different, when it comes to using his body, James is the strongest of the five people who train together, and Iguodala will at least say how he uses his body, not Maddie who can't say why.
Maddy's physical talent is the best in the Hawks, but Iguodala's physical fitness Iguodala is closest to James, who may be the most physical guy in NBA history.
It's just that...... Iguodala's Penalty ...... It's getting more and more cheating.
Kobe Bryant's side gradually found his touch, which made Liu Mang under great pressure, and the strength of this paranoid man quickly recovered, and Liu Mang now refuses to go one-on-one with this guy.
The main reason is that he is afraid that he and Kobe Bryant will fight endlessly, and no one will be willing to stop if they lose.
On Liu Mang's side, the three most talented players on the outside of the Eagles improved themselves together, and the rest of the Eagles were not idle.
Liu Mang received many calls from the team to discuss the team's affairs at this stage.
On August 5th, Mourning finally made the decision to stay with the Hawks with a one-year salary, and as early as late July, Kwame Brown went to training with Mourning after doing the promotional activities.
Since Josh Smith is in his second year, Rasheed Wallace is a year older and needs to play more center, so Kwame Brown does not need to play power forward, and even in the fast break game, Rasheed Wallace needs to appear more in the center position to better adapt, and Kwame Brown's position needs to develop more in the center and start to gain weight with Mourning.
Kwame Brown is starting to move towards a center like Mourning, certainly not a heavy center, just a modest weight gain to deal with O'Neal and Yao Ming, who weighed a little worse at 113kg last year and James is 109kg this summer.
Rasheed Wallace is 32 years old, his speed has not weakened much, but the impact has decreased, the positional battle is okay, and the ability to rush in the fast break began to decline last season, so practice chasing and catching three-pointers, improve the ability to use height to catch the ball and shoot homeopathically, and enhance the ability to shoot outside.
Josh Smith, on his side, is mainly to improve his finishing ability under the basket and his ability to advance with the ball, and he is needed on the counterattack.
On Korver's side, Liu Mang originally wanted to take him to practice three points together, but Korver didn't know where to find the way, so he ran to find Reggie Miller to learn the running position and help defense.
Liu Mang specially called Korver to inquire, only to know that the two were fellow countrymen!
The kind of fellows who are really fellows, both are Californians, both are from Riverside County, California, and now the two of them are also training in California, less than a four-hour drive away.
Calderon continued to train with Stockton, while Granger and David Lee, two rookies, trained with Mohammed and Jason Terry.
These two rookies Liu Mang didn't care too much, they didn't have the idea of taking care of their little brother in previous years, they would be separated one day, why bother investing in that feeling.
Growing up is a cruel thing.
Whether it's for yourself or for someone else......
As for the recruitment of the last position, it has not been decided for a long time.
The Hawks now have Liu Mang and Calderon in the point guard position; Shooting guards are Maddy, Iguodala, Jason Terry; The small forward position includes Prince, Granger, and Korver; The power forwards are Rasheed Wallace, Josh Smith, David Lee, Mohammed; In the center position, there are Kwame Brown and Mourning.
Among them, Maddy and Iguodala both occasionally have to play forwards, and the back line is relatively weak, mainly because they can't find suitable players.
First of all, you have to have experience, and then no matter how many cold benches you sit on, you have to contribute.
Such a player is too hard to find, and it was only in March last year that Persson was signed back to fill the flaw.
It's better to lack than to abuse, this is what the Eagles think now, anyway, it's still a long time, just vacate a position and wait, make the main force stronger, the thighs are thick enough, someone will always come to hug it.
The veteran of the formation is very important, and it is better not to have it than to come back with a burden.
……
Liu Mang and others spent day after day in training, and the long grass period of the NBA offseason has passed day by day, and changes are also taking place in the league.
Unlike the Eagles, who keep their workhorses, train their rookies, and wait for the new season, those teams that lost are trying their best to change.
On the Lakers' side, on August 23, Kobe's birthday, Zen master Phil Jackson was invited back again, and when the Zen master saw the birth of the combination of Kobe and Yao Ming, he couldn't hold back and wanted to come back, and as soon as Jeanie Buss mentioned it, he immediately agreed.
Kobe's birthday party was canceled, and he went to the Zen master's house for a night, so that Liu Mang's idea of eating Kobe Bryant could not be realized.
On August 26, the Chinese men's basketball team won the championship in the Asian Games and got a ticket to the 2006 Japan Basketball World Championships.
With Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, the Asian Games will be too easy for the Chinese men's basketball team.
On August 29, the NBA officially announced the new rules for next season's playoffs.
The Heat were eliminated in the first round, which made the NBA change the rules, and the first place in the division is guaranteed to be the top four in the division, not necessarily the top three in the division.
This change has no impact on the first place in the division and must still enter the playoffs and must be the top four in the division, mainly to make the top four ranked according to the record, avoiding the Pistons meeting the Hawks early and the Heat meeting their opponents in the first round and being upset in the past few years.
Of course, it's good to have an upset, but the Heat and the Hawks are in the same division, and according to the strength of the Heat and the Hawks, they are almost certainly the top four in the East, so it is very likely that it will still be a second-round preparation next season, which is not a good thing for the league, and they hope that the Hawks and the Heat can meet in the East.
In addition, there are some small and small transactions from teams such as the Rockets, Grizzlies, Wizards, Warriors, Jazz, etc., which began to occupy the news page after the popularity of Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant teamed up.
But these have nothing to do with Liu Mang, who is trying to improve himself.
On the afternoon of August 30th, after Liu Mang's last set of left-handed three-point crazy training, the system prompt that Liu Mang had been waiting for for a long time came!
