Liu Mang played 30 minutes, got 27 points and 3 rebounds, clocked out in the third quarter, and led by 18 points at 81-63 after the third quarter, and he was not afraid of being reversed, because the opponent did not look reversed at all, Maddie had to play in the fourth quarter with Jason Terry to stabilize the situation, Ariza and Josh Smith, and Kwame Brown on the court.

Garnett played very hard today, but it was a pity that the two star teammates were fighting for their own data for next year's big contract.

In terms of salary, Garnett once pitted the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves let Joe Smith sign a yin-yang contract, which caused the Timberwolves to be miserable for four years, and in the last year, he was pardoned by the league before he had a first-round draft pick next summer, which was inseparable from Garnett's ridiculously high contract at that time.

But in terms of professional attitude, Garnett has nothing to say, even if his teammates are so pitted this year, Garnett has been working rebounding and defense, but when his teammates don't have the same heart with him, his defensive system can't be built, saying that he works the defensive end, but he can only grab rebounds.

It's just that Garnett met Kwame Brown, who was like a mad dog, and Rasheed Wallace, who was hard to meet him, Garnett was attacked on his back and grabbed rebounds,......

Liu Mang saw the crazy Kwame Brown and Garnett, the rebounding king who averaged 14 boards per game, against Biao rebounds, but he couldn't grab it, he really couldn't grab it and let his teammates help him grab it, and Garnett only grabbed it by himself, Olowokandi can't catch the ball now, and he can't use the three-board axe, backup center Alvin Johnson is 38 years old, too old, and can't play much role at all, last season, the Timberwolves relied on the three-headed monster to win, and two of the three-headed monsters this season are "crazy", aliens are really as explosive as aliens, The madman is really crazy, Garnett is so tired for the first time since his rookie season that he can't win.

Kwame Brown played 41 minutes and scored 19 points and 19 rebounds in the face of Garnett. There are two people in their own house who are almost each other's "undercover agents".

Originally, Garnett played average on the offensive end against Rasheed Wallace, a powerful power forward who is a strong defensive shooter, and paid tribute to Los Angeles on 8-of-24 shooting from the field, scoring only 20 points, basically no interior lethality, and only got 9 rebounds in the sandwich of Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown.

The Eagles have done a good job of limiting Garnett's type of interior.

With fewer and fewer super interior players, the Hawks have been very restrained with this new type of interior line, and although Garnett entered the NBA early, his type is very suitable for future basketball.

Coach Kruger was bad, thinking of what Liu Mang secretly said to him before the game, and seeing that Kwame Brown was about to double 20, he replaced Kwame Brown......

Kwame Brown is also an honest man, seeing that there are more than two minutes left in the time, the score is 112-92, a 20-point difference, it seems normal to be replaced, but I didn't expect to be "yin" by the coaching staff, depressed, and vowed to play the Mavericks in the next game, and I must work harder.

In the end, relying on Liu Mang to score 27 points in 30 minutes, Maddy to score 14 points, 12 assists and 3 rebounds in 37 minutes, Jason Terry to score 16 points, Kwame Brown to double 19, and those who played under Maddy's organized offense all scored more or less, and the Hawks beat the Timberwolves 113-99 and won two in a row.

In this game, when Tony Allen faced Sprewell, his physical fitness and defensive talent were shown, but the shooting was very poor, Ariza's side, the shooting talent was shown, and the defensive awareness was also good, but Tony Allen's natural defensive experience in the future, and although the shooting talent was good, the decisiveness was not enough, and the fact that he was too sticky and not resolute in passing and shooting was not resolute was exposed.

It's the kind of players who are a little regrettable but talented, and it makes it difficult for the Hawks coaching staff to choose.

The record improved to 17-4 and continued to struggle with the Suns for the first place in the league.

……

……

After playing the Timberwolves, the next morning, the Hawks came to Dallas.

Leaving Minneapolis almost early in the morning, it was too cold here.

When flying away from Minneapolis, Liu Mang saw some frozen lakes on the ground when the plane took off, and thought of the unbearable wet cold.

From the weather here, Liu Mang knows why no star wants to come here, there is a Cassel and Sprewell joining, they are all like babies.

In this case, Liu Mang hopes that Garnett will be a little more difficult...... It's so miserable anyway, and it doesn't matter how miserable it is.

robbed Garnett's MVP, Liu Mang didn't feel guilty at all, this was helping Garnett feel desperate here! It's even better to come to Atlanta......

As the saying goes, the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds...... But thinking about it, if he had the opportunity to partner with Garnett, Liu Mang still felt a little chilled, and it was a bit miserable to be teammates with this kind of paranoid guy comparable to Kobe...... But the team will not be short of fighting.

But letting Garnett go to the Celtics is not a good choice, the Celtics' Big Three is still quite scary, all in their 30s, and they can still be so powerful.

When the time comes, it would be nice to find a way to stumble on them.

……

After flying for a few hours, I came to Dallas, which is much warmer than Minneapolis, the third largest city in Texas in the Southwest Division, and it is not yet the snow season.

This season, the Hawks did not have a Texas three-game away, which is really lucky, the Texas top three are getting stronger and stronger, mainly because the Rockets are about to keep up, just one core guard is missing, but it is also very powerful.

In previous years, when Liu Mang came to Dallas, Nash would pick him up when he arrived at the hotel to go shopping, and feel the exotic St. Paul Street in Nash's opinion, which is a settlement of Brazilians and Mexicans in Dallas, which is not at all different from North American culture, as well as the Dallas Cowboys game, Nash also took Liu Mang to watch.

But this time, the Mavericks didn't have such friendly people to play with Liu Mang.

The world is changing, and Liu Mang came here completely without the past.

After giving up Nash, especially after a month and a half of playing in the regular season, the Mavericks got a new nickname called "Blind Horseboy," a nickname given to the Mavericks by American sports fans.

Although due to other live broadcast arrangements, the Suns have very few aircuts before the All-Star Weekend, but Nash has become popular, in the popularity survey in early December, Nash's popularity has climbed to the third place in the Western guards, second only to Kobe Bryant and Francis, surpassing Ginobili, Michael Finley, Ray Allen, Francis also through the Chinese fans' love for Yao Ming, love the house and Wu, Francis is still the second most popular guard in the West for the time being.

However, this time Liu Mang didn't have time to go out to play, and when he came to Dallas in the morning, it was very important to train in the afternoon.

For the Mavericks, the Hawks take it seriously.

It should be said that for the top four in the West, the Suns, SuperSonics, Spurs, Mavericks, and the Hawks attach great importance to it.

As it stands, none of the top four teams in the West can be ignored.

The strength of the Texas duo of the Suns rising, the Spurs and the Mavericks is still outstanding, and after the SuperSonics got a core point guard, the advantage of strong offensive firepower was highlighted, and Francis and Ray Allen both entered the top ten of the MVP rankings.

When the OK group disintegrated, the West became a divided situation, and unlike the Eastern Eagles, who were still considered the No. 1 candidates for the Finals, the Western side looked like all four teams were likely.

Liu Mang attaches more importance to the Mavericks, and in 2006, the Mavericks reached the finals, and Liu Mang was very impressed.

There are too many stars on the Mavericks, except for rookie DJ Mbembenga, third-year Dan Dekau, and the legendary Russian Yao Ming Pavel Podkorkin, the 12-man activation roster is full of stars with heads and faces!

The Mavericks' infinite singles tactics are getting better and better.

The tactics of playing the Mavericks need to be adjusted, and the strategy of the anti-Mavericks can not be used to press and pinch the attack, and the opponent has the ability to score independently except for the center, so he arrived in Dallas on the morning of the 12th, rested for a while at noon, and in the afternoon the Hawks came to the rented college arena and began tactical training.

The Hawks' small-ball tactics and the conversion of the playing style of the landing battle, now more and more experienced, playing the Mavericks such a balanced offensive and defensive team, can counterattack the best, can not counterattack when the rhythm of the control, is also very important to the Hawks, has been practicing this recently, seeking a trade is a solution to the current team's problems, from their own problem, is also very important.

After the tactical training, Liu Mang called Maddie, Jason Terry, Calderon, and Rasheed Wallace, who were all good mid-to-long-range shooters, to practice their mid-range shots.

"Ace, are you going to use the mid-range shot against the Mavericks? Haven't you always been a fan of three-point shooting and under-the-basket offense? Maddie asked curiously, because Liu Mang repeatedly admired the role of players, and the three-point shot and impact basket of offensive and defensive transitions were the key to Liu Mang's small-ball play that Liu Mang first proposed to Coach Kruger.

"It's not the same to play the Mavericks, their head coach Avery Johnson has learned to coach with Popovich, and the coach just said that you should try your best to use the running position to tear apart the opponent's defense, but I think it's difficult, Tracy you can see the Mavericks' footage, their outside defense rotation is extremely fast, the interior defense is also very good, maybe we need more one-on-one singles, the middle range is a good solution, if the singles are accurate, we pass the ball quickly, and the ability to make fouls is also good, It can be a good way to deal with their team defense. Liu Mang recounted Wade's method of dealing with the Mavericks in the 2006 Finals.

Although there was a body whistle in the finals that year, Wade averaged 34 points per game and scored 12 free throws.

The biggest help of the body hair whistle to Wade is not to help him cause the opponent to foul, but to make the opponent dare not defend him with big moves, and the pinch action is slightly larger and he is blown for a foul, so that Wade can continue to play singles in the middle distance and have a good space to divide the ball, the strongest Wade is the strongest when the mid-range shot is the strongest.

And the Mavericks' defensive mid-range, which is in the same vein as the Spurs, was scored 62 points by Kobe Bryant in the third quarter is a good example, and it is also the key to Wade finding a way to deal with the Mavericks after receiving a call from Kobe Bryant in the last four games of the finals.

Liu Mang has been practicing mid-range shooting, just to deal with the Spurs and Mavericks in the past two years.

Now playing the Mavericks, you can try the results of training, Liu Mang's right hand 88 mid-range shooting ability evaluation, away from 90's top mid-range shooting ability, is not very different.

It would be best if you could practice the mid-range shooting to 90 before the playoffs began, mainly to practice to 89, because at the end of the season, if you maintain the league's highest individual scoring this season, the reward for the extension task of the scoring king will strengthen the all-round shooting ability by 1 point, you can go straight to 90, reach the top mid-range shooting level, and whether you are dealing with the Pistons, the Heat, or the Spurs and Mavericks in the playoffs, you have a greater certainty of winning.

Speaking of which, there are four finalists in the West, but the opponent of the finals identified by Liu Mang is either the Spurs or the Mavericks, and the mid-range shots are all killer features.

Maddie wanted to ask something, and Jason Terry said, "Okay, okay, hurry up, 250 shots, right, and make sure to make 50 shots in 60 shots per point?" Do you want to start over if you fail? It's going to take a long time, let's hurry up and practice, and in the afternoon Dirk asked me to dinner, Linde, help me serve. ”

Jason Terry called his dedicated trainer to find a half-court and began practicing catch-and-shoot shots in five positions.

Jason Terry didn't have so many questions to ask, and Rashid Wallace and Calderon didn't have any objections.

Could what Liu Mang said be wrong? The championship ring is the best proof that the Eagles' former veteran players trust Liu Mang blindly.

Maddie is speechless, people just want to understand the reason! As for rolling your eyes?

This group of people has no impulse to pursue the truth at all?

However, Maddie feels that what Liu Mang said is indeed reasonable, and the offensive and defensive tactics arranged by the coach are available, but the specific style of play still needs the players to control it themselves.

Maddie's mid-range shooting is also very powerful, 89 mid-range evaluation, the overall mid-range shooting rate has been above forty percent, especially two points long, and the shooting rate of 42.5 percent so far in his career, but after coming to the Hawks, the number of shots has decreased, but the efficiency has been very good.

After all, he is a player who has won a single-season efficiency of 30+ in the 02-03 season, and his all-round offensive skills are very good.

Then, Liu Mang saw a certain hateful guy with an ability evaluation of 98, tied for the first place in the league with Duncan and Garnett, and completed the training the fastest......
