1028. The Good Apprentice Finally Comes to Enlightenment!
is about to usher in 13 consecutive home games, basically three games a week, the same schedule as the playoffs, and five consecutive home games, except for the 30th on the last day of November to play the Cavaliers on the road, the first five games are all home games, and it is not unreasonable for fans to pin their hopes of a team to beat the Hawks this month on the Bobcats.
At noon on the 16th, the Warriors players who were in a row on the road came to Atlanta, feeling as cool as the crotch of their pants, and came to Atlanta a day early, and they had to play the Heat back-to-back away after playing the Hawks.
The No. 18 Hawks will first play a home game against the Warriors.
Back in Atlanta on the 15th, the Hawks had a day off first, Liu Mang and Maddie talked about some things, and in the afternoon of the next day, the Hawks had a training session to prepare for the game with the Warriors.
The Warriors have played well so far this season, playing 11 games, 5 wins and 6 losses, don't look at the winning rate is less than 50%, mainly because their early season schedule is too brutal, strong opponents one after another, 5 wins and 6 losses are already good.
The Warriors team with Baron Davis is full of ambition, and fans are quite optimistic about their current lineup, and they themselves are also performing well, with a core lineup of Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy, Troy Murphy, the center is a little worse, but it is also an excellent coolie interior Adonal Fayer, with excellent blocking ability, averaging two blocks per game so far this season.
For this opponent, the Hawks still take it quite seriously, and both the Mavericks and the Suns have capsized on them.
At half past one in the afternoon, the Eagles players arrived, and before the warm-up began, Coach Kruger came to set up today's training tasks.
Today is mainly technical training, tomorrow is tactical training, and the day after tomorrow is competition.
Coach Kruger gave instructions according to the technical training plan given by the trainer, and was about to go back to the office, when he saw Liu Mang calling his teammates together for a small meeting.
"Ace, what strange thing do you want to do again?" Coach Krueger wanted to leave, but asked anyway.
Coach Kruger is very painful, the average player is more and more mature in his heart, and his personality is becoming more and more calm, but Liu Mang is different, he is in his fifth season, and the superstars are very mature seasons, Liu Mang's temperament is getting more and more jumpy, and a few days ago, he also played with his teammates to help Kwame Brown brush up the score, if it weren't for the high school champion on the opposite side who made free throws worse than Kwame Brown, the game was almost dragged to the decisive moment by the Magic team.
"It's okay, I'll discuss with them, how can I get the assist king......" Liu Mang subconsciously responded, and then quickly covered his mouth.
Sure enough, if Coach Kruger has hair on his head and the rest of the hair is not fixed with wax, the hair can blow up.
"Ace, what did you say? Assist king? You sober me up! Coach Kruger didn't care about giving Liu Mang face in front of others, and shouted directly.
"Coach, don't worry, I won't affect the team, just try it, and play with Tracy in a different role, maybe we will play better, and the other party will definitely not think that we will play like this!" Liu Mang believed what he said.
Anyway, there's a little bit of truth...... Wait, there's a! Coach Kruger reacted immediately, he was almost fooled!
Isn't this going to be a change in the way you play?
The team's chemistry finally reached the best time, and then something happened!
"Tracy can distribute the ball, Ace, can you?" Coach Kruger said with anger in his breath.
How can a man say no! Liu Mang immediately replied: "I can learn!" β
"......" Coach Kruger feels that his brain is going to get bigger again, and the chemistry has been good since the start of this season, and he finally has no hair loss, and he feels that he will continue to lose his hair again.
"Tell me why you want to win the assist king." Coach Kruger asked, suppressing his anger.
Cause? Liu Mang didn't think about it! He only thought about how to fool him...... No, how to create a new goal for my teammates, I didn't think about this kind of thing.
Liu Mang's head thought quickly, there is!
"It's not Tracy yet, he often shows off his assist king trophy, saying that he doesn't have a scoring champion and an assist king, it's so annoying, I want to win an assist king too!" Liu Mang forcibly made an excuse.
βοΌβ Maddie's eyes widened: What's the matter with me?
At this time, there is no need for Liu Mang to say, and his teammates also know that Liu Mang is competing with Maddie.
The teammates all looked at Maddie, Maddie rolled her eyes, a helpless face, and some teammates couldn't help laughing.
The reason why Liu Mang wants to win the assist king is too childish!
You can be tough, you can have ambition, you can have the domineering spirit of the NBA, but sometimes you are so childish, and you are not bad at treating your teammates, you can take care of it, and the key is to succeed......
The teammates had a strange idea: Liu Mang is so successful, is it because he loves to toss so much?
This kind of thinking is immediately put aside by teammates, don't be infected......
Coach Kruger thought that Liu Mang would be more mature when he had a child, but he didn't expect to be so childish.
However, Liu Mang said this, Coach Kruger still has to consider the feelings of other stars, such as Maddie, he feels really depressed when he thinks about it!
How can I have such a disciple! He shouldn't have been brought into the NBA! The goal of this season is to win three consecutive championships...... Triple Crown...... has won two consecutive championships, thinking of this, Coach Kruger feels that Liu Mang is ...... It seems that every decision that seems to be out of the way seems to be quite correct in the end......
A little depressed, Coach Kruger didn't know what to decide for a while
"You can't lose when you fight a warrior, try it if you want to, the key is, you can't lose! The tactics for the rest of the game remain the same, Tracy, you reduce possession and increase shots, Ace...... Get out of the way! Coach Kruger decided to do so for the time being, and immediately walked up the stairs to the second floor without looking back, worried that he would lose a few more hairs in anger.
The most troublesome person left, and Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, his teammates surrounded him.
"Ace, do you really want to win the assist king? How much fun it is to score! How comfortable it is to shoot! Why do you want to do that kind of thing like passing? "Jason Terry feels like hell.
Maddy, Iguodala and CalderΓ³n, the three players with the most passes on the team, were speechless.
Kwame Brown and Rashid Wallace, Prince don't have any opinions, their roles are fixed, no matter how anything else changes, it has nothing to do with them, Kwame Brown doesn't care about scoring other times except for Howard, what he cares about is rebounding, he is third in the league, second only to Garnett and Howard, and the goal is to go further in rebounding.
Korver and Josh Smith worked well with Liu Mang, Liu Mang passed, and when they came on the court, they might have more chances.
Mourning, Horry, and Barry, the three veterans looked at each other, is it that simple to assist the king? Take it if you want to?
The three veterans who are not a few years away from retirement feel that the times are changing too fast, but there is a guy in their team who is as strong as a monster in learning, they lie down to win, why not, they can't affect the team's decision now, so they watched Liu Mang toss.
Granger, who usually has a cold personality and doesn't talk much, and the rich second-generation David Lee, two rookies, have no right to speak, they play when they have the opportunity, and they stand on the sidelines and wave towels when they don't have the opportunity.
"Yes, I want to win the assist king, the scoring champion is boring, the assist king is more challenging, I want to see if I pass the ball to you, can you catch it." Liu Mang's expression was very serious.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The teammates are speechless, let's not mention the matter of winning the assist king, the scoring champion is boring? Who is this going to off!
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost "adjusted" by himself, Liu Mang turned on the head of state mode: "Think about it, our goal is to establish a dynasty and win three consecutive championships!" And, if we want to win a unique triple crown, how can we be like other teams that have won three in a row?
Michael Jordan won three scoring titles in a row and won three consecutive championships, I followed him to learn, isn't it very shameless?
We've got to play a different kind of basketball!
It's not just me who scores, it's not just my basketball, it's all of us together, I shoot less, pass more, you score more, and we all work together to win three consecutive championships that belong to our collective!
I believe in your strength, I believe in your progress, don't you believe that you can rely on yourself to score, rely on your own passing, and win the championship that belongs to us?
Don't learn from Jordan, he's too superficial! I only know the score, I'm different! We are different! β
Maddie saw that Liu Mang forcibly said that he wanted to win the assist king, saying that he believed in his teammates' scoring ability, and looked at the ceiling speechlessly, cheeky ......
"Well said!" Someone immediately agreed, Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry with appreciative eyes, and then saw Jason Terry's ghostly expression, as if he didn't expect him to say this, his mouth opened wide.
It doesn't seem like Jason Terry is on board, who is that......
Liu Mang turned his head to look for it, and saw Stockton and Ma Long's faces excited......
"Uh......" Liu Mang felt that it would be a little difficult to learn something from Jordan next time.
Stockton is a big mouth!
Stockton is so excited now, and the person he wants to pass on his mantle the most is Liu Mang.
But Liu Mang has never been interested in passing, but he ran to Jordan to learn those bells and whistles, which made Stockton even more dissatisfied with Jordan and robbed him of his apprentice.
But now Liu Mang has come to his senses!
"Ace, if you want to learn to pass, I can teach you! With your talent, learning to pass is too suitable, and the selfish thing of scoring, just let it be for your teammates, I'll teach you to pass! Stockton came up and patted Liu Mang on the shoulder, very satisfied with what Liu Mang had just said.
"Uh......" Liu Mang and the rest of the Eagles were speechless.
Karl Malone, the trainer who was going to coach David Lee's offensive techniques, was also speechless: Who is this?
