589. The strange logic of the media

"How did you come up with the tactics for that pivotal point in the second quarter? That tactic seemed crazy, and probably no one else would dare to try it. ”

"It occurred to me that it was a good tactic, wasn't it? Let's just take the lead, we have enough different types of players to play different tactics and that's our biggest advantage. ”

"Liu's recent shooting percentage has dropped significantly, what do you think about that?"

"Ace is our leading scorer right now, he's under more defensive pressure than he used to be, and I'm sure he'll adjust."

"Does beating the Nets mean you're a better team?"

"I've always thought so, in my mind our team is the best, there may be a lot of shortcomings, but I never feel like we're not a good team."

“……”

“……”

……

After the game, Liu Mang ran away again, and Coach Kruger took Rahim to a press conference, but the media was not interested in Rahim, who is now transforming to play defense, and they all surrounded Coach Kruger for an interview, which made Coach Kruger's head big, and he coped with the danger.

From the moment the stinky boy came up with that completely illogical and completely unreasonable tactic, Coach Kruger guessed that there would be such a post-game interview, and it was true that the Eagles' tactics were successful, but in many people it seemed to be opportunistic.

In response to this kind of questioning from the media, Coach Krueger was tempted to take a sip of the drink offered by the sponsor and spew it in the faces of those reporters.

Which tactic is not opportunistic to fool the opponent into scoring easily?

Do you want to shoot against the defense? Then what else do you need tactics! So what else do you need a coach to do?

However, Coach Kruger still endured his discomfort and answered the reporter's question very officially, after all, they won! Winning is the happiest thing.

But it's not too early to be happy, Coach Kruger is going to remind these players not to go out and play too crazy, and when they return to Atlanta, they will play the Nets in the second game of the season between the two teams of the season.

The league's schedule is always confusing, and the Hawks had back-to-back home and away games with the Nets once in the '01-02 season, once last season, and once this year.

Although I don't understand how the league thinks about the schedule, but the schedule is like this, the Hawks have just won the first game against the Nets this season, and Coach Kruger naturally wants to take advantage of this morale to return to the home court to fight for another city, and first make the regular season record with the Nets invincible.

Therefore, the fact that the team players linger in the nightclub has to be talked about carefully.

The Eagles have introduced a lot of players this season, more new teammates have joined, and naturally there is a new small circle, and the place to exchange feelings is naturally a nightclub.

However, the Eagles have a rule that when playing away, it is forbidden to stay overnight outside of the hotel where the team is staying, so as to prevent players from staying in nightclubs all night and not returning.

Coach Kruger was puzzled at first why Jason Terry suddenly looked like a soft-footed shrimp today, if Jason Terry hit even one more three-pointer in the first quarter, his own team would not have played so hard after playing an advantage in the opening game, not only that, Jason Terry also did a bad job in running and attracting defense, which is why Jason Terry was originally the most threatening point on the outside of the Hawks except for Liu Mang, but was pressed for three full quarters.

After the game, before waiting for the post-match press conference, Coach Kruger questioned the team staff one by one, and finally someone said that Jason Terry was seen returning to the hotel with a beautiful woman with a nosebleed body.

This led Coach Kruger to call Jason Terry into a no-man's corner after the game and lash out at him, before reiterating that he was not allowed to spend the night outside during the away game, and added that Jason Terry was not allowed to take women back to the hotel on the eve of the game.

……

……

"Ace, I'm so miserable!" Jason Terry said resentfully to Liu Mang, who was practicing turning and shooting.

"Oh......" Liu Mang replied without looking back, and after receiving the ball thrown by Emmanuor, he turned around and threw the ball to the basket.

"Damn! Ace, you're too unsympathetic! Say good teamwork! Jason Terry said indignantly.

"Haven't I come to accompany you to practice?" Liu Mang replied helplessly.

"Do you call this to accompany me? You're a training maniac, you just happen to have someone to train with! Maybe you're snickering because of an extra sparring partner! Jason Terry exclaimed.

"I didn't expect to be seen by Jason, I didn't want to tell you this cruel truth, yes, you are not wrong, I am very happy to have a teammate to train with me." Liu Mang said and squeezed his eyebrows at Jason Terry.

Just at the end of a group of trainings, Liu Mang took the towel handed by shooting coach Chip England and wiped his sweat.

"OKOK, Jason, it's your turn, Emmanuor, how's it going, do you need a break or are you coming?" Chip England looked at the team's new trainer Emmanuol Davies and asked, really unsightly at Emmanuor's soaring weight of 120 kilograms in that summer.

This is the case with professional athletes, when the body gets used to absorbing so many calories every day, once the athlete stops doing those high-intensity exercises every day, the weight increases.

Originally, Emmanuol was a fat man, but now she is a ball.

"Chip, I'm fine, Jason, let's train!" Emmanuol doesn't want to lose his job, gaining weight is purely an accident, last season he would go to the development league to play or garbage time, in order to maintain his body in the summer, he would train and train in the summer, and now he is completely gone, and in less than half a year, he has risen by about 25 kilograms.

For gaining weight, many people think it's not a bad thing, they think that having money, being able to eat enough, being able to be full and not being able to consume a fat man, is a symbol of face, this is how Emmanuol feels, he feels that he just hasn't gotten used to being a fat man every day, it's good to get used to it.

"Emmanuor, I'd rather you're too tired to move." Jason Terry complained, got up and trained, there will be four sets of additional training this afternoon, and each group has about half an hour of training time.

After Liu Mang finished training, he rested for half an hour, and Jason Terry trained during this period, and after Jason Terry finished practicing, Liu Mang came again.

After the victory over the Nets, the Hawks' record became 7-1 and they once again ranked first in the league, while the Pacers, Pistons, Timberwolves, Spurs, Hornets and other teams lost again.

All the teams are similar, and in mid-November, they start to play against the big teams one after another.

In the early days of the season starting on October 29th, in addition to the opening game, the next few games, the league's recognized popular teams or strong teams encountered opponents who were usually weak, or a little stronger, it was difficult to have a substantial threat to these teams, so that the favorite teams could adapt to the rhythm of the regular season, and this was the period when fans had been waiting for months to look forward to the game, and they did not worry about losing viewership and attention.

By mid-November, after half a year of pent-up enthusiasm had worn off, it was necessary to have strong conversations to capture the attention of fans and keep them focused on the NBA, as in the case of the Hawks-Nets game.

With a win in the first game of a back-to-back meeting with the Nets, the Hawks became the only team in the league to lose just one game.

After beating the Nets last night, the Hawks rushed back to Atlanta from New Jersey early this morning, went home early to rest, and prepared for the game after two days of rest, and the day after tomorrow, that is, November 15th, the Hawks will face the Nets at home.

And Jason Terry, to pay for the mistakes he made, the current head coach has more authority than the future head coach, Coach Kruger said to let Jason Terry practice, Jason Terry can only come to the training bitterly.

And Liu Mang just wants to continue to hone his low-level skills, this trick is really useful! I came to training with Jason Terry.

It is said that grinding the gun is not fast and light, the training and training two days before the game, you may really want to say that the effect is not particularly large, but the psychological effect is still there, and the turnover jump shot is practiced more naturally, even if the accuracy is still about the same, but it looks scary!

Liu Mang used the low post to play a few yesterday, which scared the Nets and forced them to change formations, which made Liu Mang feel the power of this move.

Although Richard Jefferson was beaten a few times by Liu Mang in the East finals last season, he practiced his low-post defensive skills hard in the summer, Liu Mang didn't move very much, Tai Kid is there, he is already 30 years old, and he will be 31 in a few months, and it is impossible to develop any new offensive and defensive skills, the age is there, Liu Mang can still use it to deal with Kidd, as long as he can create a misposition, it is enough for Liu Mang.

Liu Mang now plays in the low post, although the mid-shot is already good, but his low position is mainly the best at turning and cutting, which may be a talent, Liu Mang may be more familiar with the outside turn, and he practices very quickly when he turns in the low post.

However, Liu Mang wants to use the turn-over jump shot more naturally, although the turn-over jump shot has been developed now, but the action is too obvious, when practicing with the trainer, Emmanuol can judge that Liu Mang is going to turn over and shoot, so Liu Mang saw Jason Terry being punished for training today, so he came along, so he practiced a familiar posture, and it was good to scare the other party when the time came.

Although the Hawks and Nets won the first meeting, the media prediction of the second meeting between the two teams was that the Nets had the upper hand, and they had a very strange logic, that is, the Nets were "stolen" by the Hawks and the victory would break out next.

Liu Mang is very unhappy about this, he just wants to kill the Nets! Therefore, in the past two days, he has to come up with a way to win the victory on the basis of his own strength, and now the system no longer has the kind of props that have the effect of the rookie period, Liu Mang can only think hard by himself.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the five groups of training where Jason Terry was punished for training finally ended, and Liu Mang finished the last group, and also took a shower and drove back to the villa.

To Liu Mang's surprise, he just arrived and returned home, parked the car in the garage, and when he came out, he saw a little Lori flying towards him.

Liu Mang hurriedly caught it, it was still a little heavy!

After holding it steady, Liu Mang couldn't help but say: "Wow, it's so heavy, Dinah, how many times have I told you, you have grown up now!" I'm about to turn 9 years old! Be careful, lady! ”

Liu Mang was ready, Dinah would lose her temper and say that she was not fat or something, but something strange happened, Dinah jumped out of Liu Mang's arms, and said pitifully: "Uncle won't hug Dinah in the future?" Dinah is so pathetic! ”

"I didn't mean that!" Liu Mang has a headache.

"That is, in the future, the uncle will still hug Dinah?" Dinah's eyes seemed to glisten with tears.

Seeing the pitiful look of little Lori, as long as Liu Mang dared to say a word, he would immediately cry to Liu Mang's posture, Liu Mang could only say: "Yes, yes!" ”

Little Lori jumped up excitedly, and Liu Mang could only catch it again.

Xiao Lori buried her head and showed treachery in her eyes, and Liu Mang was defeated......

Liu Mang walked back to the villa with Dina in his arms, and Dinah shouted in Liu Mang's arms: "Uncle is the best...... Wait, uncle, what did you just say? Actually said that Dinah was fat? Dinah just grew taller! ”

Watching the little Lori change her face, the corners of Liu Mang's mouth twitched: "Now the elementary school is also a drama master?" ”
