1001. Boss, I'm going to take a leave of absence!
To the Grizzlies offense.
Liu Mang stayed at the top arc and defended Damon Stoudemire alone.
Damon Stoudemire is running fast!
"Damon Stoudemire, Ability Rating 78, Offense 82, Defense 60, Three-Point 83, Shooting 71, Layup 84, Speed 94, Power 72......"
This fast little step still has the flexibility of being short, Liu Mang tried hard to keep up, but he still couldn't keep up, just like a gopher, or a gopher flying close to the ground.
Damon Stoudemire burst to the right side of the three-second zone, drew Josh Smith to the defense, and quickly passed to Gasol.
Gasol pulls a mid-range catch-and-shoot ...... The first iron of the season is thrown!
Liu Mang followed Damon Stoudemire to the inside, and the ball bounced just to his side, and he jumped high to grab the defensive rebound.
The Grizzlies offense is quick and easy! But judging from this round, Liu Mang feels that the Grizzlies, who are now more open and have breakthrough masters, are stronger in offense than last season.
The main thing is that Damon Stoudemire got fit.
Damon Stoudemire has played 82 games in the past two seasons, averaging 15 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, which is quite a good performance, and his height of 1.78 meters is still very fast even though he turned 32 last month.
The little flying squirrel is out of the Trailblazers prison, and now he is more motivated to play, although it is only 10 million US dollars in 3 years now, which is far from the salary of 86 million US dollars in 7 years during the Pioneer period, and the three years are not as good as the previous year, but I am happy to play!
It's time for the Eagles to attack again.
Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and he only thought about throwing two Lehehe, anyway, in the preseason, to show his superstar strength, but Josh Smith stole the limelight.
Liu Mang noticed after arriving at the front court this time that his teammates' running positions were very active, and the space on the left and right sides of the top arc was freed up for him, not hindering him from breaking through, but ready to attack and run on the other side when he broke through.
Liu Mang broke through from the right, and Kwame Brown was ready to go out and block Korver, allowing Korver to move from the baseline to the ceiling.
When Liu Mang was learning the dream steps with Olajuwon, the role players who returned to the team early were not idle, but made some small fine-tuning of their own tactics planned by the head coach in the summer!
Liu Mang broke through from the left side again, but Damon Stoudemire still couldn't defend it, and Damon Stoudemire's defense was far worse than Jason Williams.
Liu Mang burst into the middle range and passed the ball to Iguodala who used Josh Smith to block and cut in, Iguodala cut to the inside, and Lorenzen White, who relied on the defense, passed the ball to Kwame Brown, who didn't dare to take the ball down, and immediately jumped up and put the basket when he received the ball.
It's two points again!
The Grizzlies look better offensively, but defensively ...... It sucks!
Without Jason Williams, Damon Stoudemire can't defend anyone, and without Battier, Gasol can defend on the front line, and Butler can't defend anyone.
The Eagles went on a 14-6 run in 4 minutes after the game started!
After Liu Mang started the game, he originally planned to show a wave of scores, but he didn't expect to send several assists in a row at the beginning! 4 minutes, 2 points and 3 assists, except for one Iguodala's throw, Liu Mang rushed in to make up for the basket and scored two points, and he didn't shoot himself, and it was already 14-6!
The Grizzlies' current lineup is much more offensive than last season, with Eddie Jones, a stable mid-to-long-range catch-and-shoot pitcher, Caron Butler's three-point and air cuts are also very powerful, Gasol's all-round power forward, can organize offense, can pull away and shoot and can play low-post singles, Lorenzen White is a physical man, and Liu Mang's breakthrough is also a headache.
However, the Hawks have Kwame Brown under the basket on the defensive end, and Josh Smith in the assistant defense, and Gasol has a lot of opportunities to shoot after the flying squirrel breaks through, but the mid-range shooting is not always as effective as hitting the basket, especially when the Hawks have a super impact, the Grizzlies can't prevent Iguodala and Josh Smith from hitting the basket in turn under Liu Mang's pass, and both of them have good ball handling ability, and they can also give Kwame Brown under the basket and Korver in the bottom corner to share the ball!
Josh Smith is indeed physically gifted, but his personality is weak and submissive, he will develop in that direction whatever the coach asks him to do, and his talent is enough to make him develop into the type of player that any coach wants, he will be in the seventh year of his career, the head coach asked him to practice three-point shooting, and he really practiced it, although it is not accurate, but he also has a three-point shooting rate in his early thirties, and his talent is so good that he has nothing to say.
But even if Josh Smith was originally cultivated as a core in time and space, he only averaged seventeen or eighteen points per game, eight or nine rebounds, three or four assists, and broke 1 in steals and blocks.
But in this time and space, Josh Smith was not cultivated as a core, but only as a role-player swingman who was responsible for assisting defense and impacting the basket, which worked wonders!
Josh Smith's style of play has become simpler, simpler, he doesn't need to think about it so much, he just needs to concentrate on what the team needs him to do, and his head seems to be better, because if he wants to do things simply, he can concentrate on how to do well in his role, and his own coordination with several teammates who are also role players has been studied!
Josh Smith scored four points in four minutes, Iguodala scored two points, Korver made a three-pointer, Kwame Brown made a layup and a two-free throw, and while Liu Mang only scored two points, the others scored 12 points in four minutes!
They all eat cakes, the difference between Josh Smith and Kwame Brown is still very big, Kwame Brown most of the time, he will only open his mouth and swallow the cake, while Josh Smith will take the initiative to find an opportunity to eat bread!
During the training camp, I mainly followed the tactical training, and I didn't see that Josh Smith had improved so much in terms of awareness, and when it came to the official game, the two talented sophomores, in the case of Liu Mang and Kwame Brown, and Korver containing the defense and opening up the space, played their near-first-class strength perfectly or even played extraordinarily!
The Grizzlies called a timeout, and then, Liu Mang, who had 2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, was replaced......
Liu Mang saw that the four junior brothers with the lowest scores were as high as him, and Liu Mang wanted to vomit blood.
What about the good master taking the role players up to show a wave of operations? Why do you feel like you've become an assist-eater?
This is related to the Grizzlies' increased offense this season, who want to "go with the flow", after enhancing the offense, there has been a huge change in the Grizzlies' previous balanced offensive and defensive play, and the defense has completely collapsed, allowing Iguodala and Josh Smith to have so many open cutting opportunities and score directly, and Korver's ability to grasp the open three-point has also been greatly improved.
Coach Kruger replaced Liu Mang with Maddie, and tried Maddie to organize the attack.
Coach Krueger was also surprised that the young players were improving beyond expectations, but it was even better, the opponents' attention was on Mitaka and others would be a big help in the new season if they played well.
The preseason is all about training newcomers, unlike last season's preseason, the Hawks have a stable core roster this year, so in addition to the 15 players with official contracts, they have not signed training camp contracts, and they have conducted preseason drills directly from a tactical point of view from the beginning.
Coach Krueger began experimenting with Liu Mang and Maddie taking turns on the court to lead tactical experiments in various combinations.
The Grizzlies are so miserable, Gasol and Butler are not stars with much ability to lead the team, and they are a group of new teammates who are being hammered by role players led by Liu Mang or Maddie.
In the back, Calderon, Barry, Granger, David Lee, and Mourning's lineup all played a single quarter with a score of 26-23, and the Grizzlies flew all the way from Memphis to Atlanta, giving the Hawks' sophomore and third-year players a good show.
Liu Mang played 22 minutes, got 7 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and the limelight was all stolen by Josh Smith and Iguodala!
Josh Smith had 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Iguodala had 14 points and 4 assists to help the Hawks win their first preseason game with a 124-91, 33-point deficit.
……
……
The tone was set in the first preseason game, with role players playing more and showing their progress, and then on the 11th, the Hawks played Essington's team, the Wizards.
The Wizards lost Larry Hughes in the summer, and with free agents leaving, it's good enough for them to get a second-round pick in return.
Arenas has also reached its peak, reaching the ability evaluation of 91 of the Arenas star card that Liu Mang once used.
Jamison is also at his peak, the combination of Arenas and Jamison is still very powerful, one less point of possession, or a breakthrough player who does not shoot but needs a lot of ball, the Wizards have more concentrated possession, Arenas and Jamison's play has become relatively easier, the Wizards' defense has slipped a lot, but the offense should play more freely, just like No. 9 Their first preseason game, the double core combined to score 60 points.
But Arenas felt cold when he met the Eagles, and when he used to just listen to the media and fans say "ice phobia", Arenas felt unhappy and aggrieved, and now Arenas really feels that meeting Liu Mang is like entering an ice cellar...... the new term "ice phobia depression" was coined by Arenas.
Relying on Kwame Brown's 31 points and 12 rebounds, the Hawks beat the Wizards 95-77.
Jamison got 25 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and he really couldn't bring Arenas who met Liu Mang......
On October 13, the Hawks returned to their home court to welcome the Wizards again.
In this game, Liu Mang was put on the bench and let Calderondo play.
Maddie and Jason Terry also played less in the preseason, and the Hawks were on the outside of the team, sitting on the bench for long periods of time and chatting.
Seeing Mitaka chatting non-stop, Barry asked curiously, "Ace, these young people are so powerful!" Are you stressed? ”
Barry thinks about himself, he was also a dunk king in his rookie season ten years ago, and he was a starter in the Clippers in his third year, but because Ramon Murray, who entered the NBA a year before him, broke out and squeezed him out, he began to become a homeless man in the league, and by the time he reached the Hawks, he was the seventh team in his 11-year career.
Iguodala's talent is too good, among the outside players in the 04 session, that is, the best combat power is the Bulls' double Jordan combination, but the best talent is definitely Iguodala, Barry can see it just by looking at these preseason games, good physical fitness, hard training, and high ball quotient...... It's a superstar embryo.
When Liu Mang heard Barry's question, he felt weird, and he didn't know how to answer to make him seem less pretending.
Just at this time, the Eagles called a timeout and had to rotate personnel.
Seeing Iguodala walking back to the bench, Liu Mang said to Iguodala: "Andre, go buy me a burger, I'm hungry." ”
"Okay boss!" Iguodala took the towel from the staff and ran to the tunnel while wiping her sweat.
"......" Barry...... Got it.
People don't care about this kind of thing at all, they just treat Iguodala as a little brother.
This is a good thing for Barry at this stage, the Hawks are young and have momentum, but they know their own weight, so it is unlikely that there will be contradictions, unlike last season when he was in the Spurs, Bunch Wells was not polite to Duncan, but Duncan has high emotional intelligence and is not angry.
It's just that Barry still feels hurt.
The supergiant world, Barry says he doesn't understand......
……
After the double defeat of the Wizards, the Hawks won the three games against the Bucks, Bobcats, and Knicks easily, and mainly the young people were trained, and they still won easily.
Six consecutive wins in the first six preseason games, this is the first time in Liu Mang's career that he has not lost a preseason game, which is too rare.
This also proves from the side that the progress of the Hawks' young players is also the envy of the Bucks, Bobcats, and Knicks.
Iguodala and Josh Smith, the Eagles' two benches, all have the potential of their young core!
In the first six preseason games, the Eagles played casually, and they were happy to win.
However, after the Hawks returned to Atlanta on August 21, they began to prepare for the last preseason game, which was really good.
The last preseason game is at home against the Miami Heat!
It's time for young players to work out, it's time to get ready for the regular season, and it's time to really get physically and mentally ready for the regular season, and it's just right to play the Heat.
The preseason games of the Hawks and the Heat are also used by the league to warm up for the regular season, and the preseason games of the Hawks and the Heat have won the honor of being broadcast live in the United States.
The first opener of the regular season was the Lakers' away game against the Heat on October 27, which was the opening game of the regular season for the second year in a row.
The battle of the OK combination, the duel between Kobe's new and old two center partners, has attracted much attention.
Prior to that, the Eagles were used as a warm-up team.
The Hawks also happened to play the Heat to make final preparations for the new season.
The No. 22 Hawks conducted tactical training against the Heat, and because they didn't know what the Heat's newly formed roster would look like, the preseason model was not enough, so they mainly focused on O'Neal and Wade, Antoine Walker, the three stars.
Playing the Heat, the most dangerous team in the East, the Hawks players are excited.
The young players also have a sense of responsibility, Iguodala and Josh Smith, Korver, Calderon and others no longer regard themselves as the first and second grade players of last season, they don't want to be a baby, they want to take on more responsibility, they also know that it is up to them to fight for it, the team has sent Muhammad and Vallejo away, and the veterans are also signed, and whether they can get playing time from the veterans in the regular season depends on whether they play well or not.
On the morning of October 23, the Heat came to Atlanta, and the enthusiasm of Atlanta fans has also become stronger and stronger after six preseason games.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Coach Kruger was chatting with his boss Price about the day to watch the players warm up, when suddenly Liu Mang ran up.
"Boss, I'm going to take a leave of absence tonight!" Liu Mang said anxiously.
"Are you taking a leave of absence from the national live broadcast?" Price jumped in fright!
