At the beginning, Liu Mang was not fooled into an organizational point guard, Stockton regretted it, originally thought that no one could really inherit the mantle, and Stockton still had a little regret.

Although Deron Williams is Sloan's favorite candidate to succeed Stockton, Stockton has watched Deron University games and feels that he doesn't look like him at all.

It is true that he did a good job of using the pick-and-roll, but Stockton did not look down on Deron's shooting efficiency at all.

DeLong's shooting talent is indeed average, and he uses more physical strength to play.

Liu Mang is the perfect person to take over his mantle in Stockton's mind.

But Liu Mang plays the same as the combination of Isaiah Thomas and Jordan, the passing is very accurate, the offense can be organized, and he loves shooting more than passing.

Originally, Stockton could only choose to work hard to cultivate Calderon, a guy whose physical fitness was far inferior to him, but he didn't expect Maddie to send it to the door himself!

This feeling is good!

Maddie's talent is too good, whether it is shooting talent or passing talent, it is very good, Stockton pointed out a few passing elements of Maddie in the summer, Maddie was stunned to rely on a summer, the passing accuracy was practiced to the top level, averaging 11.6 assists per game, only 3.7 turnovers, more than 3 to 1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

Maddie's talent is too good and she learns everything quickly, but Maddie lacks the sense of a true organizer.

This awareness is on the one hand talent, but more importantly the opportunity to enter the NBA.

Maddie had nothing to do with the core of the organization at the beginning of his entry into the NBA, the point guard Stoudemire who averaged 8+ assists per game in his rookie year, Carter and Damon Stoudemire almost finished possession at the beginning of the sophomore year, and Maddy was the core of the Raptors' outside defense in the third year, and it had nothing to do with the ball.

Maddie, who arrived at the Magic, originally wanted to be a Pippen for Hill, but Hill was reimbursed, and he could only take on the responsibility of scoring, and the assists could only break through the points, and it was impossible to organize an offense like Stockton while winning the scoring title, Maddy's assists had been very good during the Magic period, but most of them were simple and direct break-through points.

If your teammates are mainly pitchers, and your own breakthrough is too strong, then you can be the same as James, and the effect of breaking through is very good, but if your teammates shoot averagely, the effect is not very good, which is equivalent to watching the sky.

When a playmaker and a passer need to see things differently, it is enough for the passer to send the ball to his teammates, while the playmaker is not only responsible for the offensive pass, but also has to anticipate the opponent's defense, anticipate the teammate's movement and ...... See through your opponent's offensive movement like Rajon Rondo did and direct his teammates to defend their positions.

Stockton recognizes Maddy's talent, whether it is shooting or passing, he has learned very well, and has a shooting rate of more than 40% so far in his career, and the three-point shooting rate has gone from more than 20 percent during the Raptors period to 38 percent three-point shooting in the 02-03 season when the Magic team won the scoring title...... Stockton doesn't care about this, he is only responsible for teaching, and how much he can learn is Maddie's own ability.

Talented apprentices, can fool one by one......

……

……

Maddy is on the agenda with Stockton as the Hawks' grueling mid-regular season continues.

By 10 a.m., the Hawks held a team meeting to prepare for the evening game against the Spurs, as well as tactical practice in the afternoon.

The troika plus Nesterovich and Robert Horry's starting lineup, as well as Bunch Wells and Brent Barry, the players who made up for Bowen's habitual dislocation of the ankle in the summer, and Bowen, who can play more than 10 minutes, and the rookie point guard Benno Udri, who shot 40 percent from three-point range, Devin Brown, a draft pick in '02, and Marrick Rose, who was very good in the '03 contract year and won the Spurs for 6 years. and Glenn Robinson, a big dog who was re-signed by the Spurs......

Liu Mang saw the Spurs' 12-man roster and was about to vomit blood!

The lineup should not be so explosive!

The key is that Liu Mang calculated the salary of the Spurs, such a lineup, with a salary of 47 million US dollars...... There are more than 3 million from the salary cap......

In addition to Bunge Wells' annual salary of 7 million US dollars, Barry, Big Dog, and Devin Brown signed by the Spurs in the summer are all base salaries, starting small forward Horry is also a veteran's base salary, and rookie Udri has a salary of 800,000 US dollars......

Liu Mang saw that the Spurs seemed to be two extremes from his side, but they had the same goal, his side was using the rookie bonus, and the Spurs had picked up a large group of veterans who wanted to win the championship when they still had the strength at the end of their careers.

Of course, the Spurs are more ruthless, they can make the player contract a little smaller, and definitely give 1 million more, except for Duncan is the highest salary, the Spurs only have Ginobili, Nesterovich, and Marrick Ross The contracts of the three have reached the middle-class level, and the middle-class trap of Robert Hawley, Ron Mossell, and Bowen last season has survived the middle-class trap of signing a base salary with Horry and signing a 1.5 million contract with Bowen, and the Spurs have a lot of salary space, and they smashed out more than 10 million in one go in the summer and signed a lot of high-quality role players.

Seeing the Spurs' salary space, Liu Mang thought of the Lakers, who were supposed to survive the middle-class trap last season, but the core lineup had collapsed.

Seeing the lineup of the Spurs, Liu Mang has no hope that the Suns can kill the Spurs in the playoffs, Popovich is the kind of chef who has what ingredients and what to cook, such a lineup is not worse than before Bowen was injured, but it may be stronger!

……

At 7:10 p.m., the first meeting of the season between the Hawks and Spurs will begin in 20 minutes.

The Eagles players played first, and the Spurs fans were very enthusiastic about the Hawks and gave each player a warm boo, especially when Liu Mang played, the on-site boos exploded.

After Liu Mang came out, he listened to the boos of the fans at the scene, and couldn't help but buckle his ears, and the earwax was about to come out.

Although it was Bowen who wanted to abolish Liu Mang and caused him to be abolished, when the incident happened, the fans at the scene were ashamed of Bowen's behavior and did not boo Liu Mang, but last year's Western Conference semifinals Spurs were beaten by the Lakers, which is directly related to Bowen's injury, otherwise at least the two teams are evenly matched, anyway, Spurs fans think so, thinking that Liu Mang is all to blame for their failure to defend the title last season.

When the Spurs players came out, cheers rang out throughout the stadium.

After Duncan appeared for the last time, Liu Mang stared at Duncan for a long time, and Duncan felt Liu Mang's eyes and smiled at Liu Mang......

"it!" Liu Mang looked at Duncan's smile and was startled!

Duncan now has a short beard and long hair, which looks like it's full of hair...... Not to mention, the key is that smile, it's too evil!

What about referees? Liu Mang looked at the referee Joey Crawford, who was chatting with Coach Kruger and Coach Popovich, come and blow this guy's technical foul!

Duncan's smile was so demonic that Liu Mang shuddered, and just wanted to go to Ginobili and Parker to ask if their boss had a head watt, he saw Duncan ask the staff for two balls, pinching one in one hand, and then jumping and walking towards him.

That's right, it was a jump, like a hairy monster who was about to turn 29 years old, and walked in front of Liu Mang.

"Ace, give you the ball, you have too few balls, not enough for the five of you to train." Duncan gave two balls to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang looked at the basket next to his side, and the Spurs only gave three balls at home, so slammed! Drink up their Gatorade in a moment!

However, what does Duncan mean by the behavior of a 29-year-old man with an impaired mental development? Liu Mang didn't know what to say, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Thank you." ”

Duncan heard Liu Mang's words and turned around with satisfaction...... Jumping and jumping back, because he didn't hold the ball in his hand, his hands swung to the rhythm of the beating......

Liu Mang even forgot that he was going to find Ginobili and Parker to catch up.

Liu Mang threw a ball on the ground and began to practice shooting, he wanted to slow down, that guy was too strange just now.

On the other side, Ginobili, who saw Duncan's strange behavior just now and Liu Mang's stunned expression, gritted his teeth and had nothing to say.

In such a team, he feels that everything is normal, even if Duncan sees Liu Mang "sick" again today, he also feels normal.

Ginobili doesn't care about that anymore, he is now more concerned about his own hair volume, and he recently grabbed a handful of hair when he washed his hair......

……

The game is about to start, Liu Mang took a look at the system tasks, there are two tasks about the Spurs, one is the "future is mine" in the King's Landing series of tasks, and win the other party when he plays Duncan in the playoffs.

The other is related to Ginobili, who may beat the opponent in the finals against Ginobili and get Ginobili's pinnacle star card again.

The Spurs are different from the Suns, although the Spurs have a lot of reinforcements, but the core is still a troika, the Hawks are already familiar with the Spurs, but this time the Spurs don't understand their current lineup, Liu Mang feels that his side has a slight advantage.

Playing the Spurs must win, and playing the Suns because the other party is now only a regular season team, it can be different, playing the Spurs, Liu Mang must win, and lay a psychological advantage for the finals!

In the tactical training before the game, he had made full preparations for the game with the Spurs, and the focus on dealing with the Spurs was Liu Mang, Jason Terry, and Maddy's mid-range shots, but Liu Mang felt that it was not enough, he thought of Duncan's smile, and suddenly thought of Rashid Wallace, and immediately called Rashid Wallace aside......
