After practicing for a long time, Brand's low-level footsteps have been completely mastered, and Li Ming found that similar technical things will be mastered quickly, but when it comes to muscle memory skills, it will take a long time, and similar abilities to enhance one's physical fitness will be effective immediately.

After going back to rest for a while, it was time to meet in the afternoon, and Li Ming was surprised to learn that Lisa was also on the plane to Atlanta, and she was here to interview him, and he was immediately excited.

It's also a little uncomfortable, he and Lisa were together almost every day before the relationship was established, but now that the relationship is confirmed, it will be a long time before they can see each other.

It's been almost half a month since they last saw each other.

It's a short flight from Chicago to Atlanta, an hour and a minute flight away, and the sun hasn't even set before the sun sets when you reach your booked hotel near Phillips Arena.

The game started at 7 p.m., and since Li Ming was away, he needed to warm up an hour early.

So Li Ming and Lisa were not in a hurry to meet, firstly, the latter also had to prepare a manuscript, and secondly, Li Ming had to compete at night after all, as a player, he had to be professional, otherwise it would be really detrimental to his image if he was known to run out to date his girlfriend before the game.

。。。。。。

The Hawks are one of the 17 oldest teams in the NBA, from the original three-city Black Hawks to the current Atlanta Hawks, they have experienced a total of four or five names, but even such an old team, they only won a championship in 1958, and then did not win a championship for 59 years, and this season they are once again in swing mode, and the team's most famous player may be Dennis Schroder.

He developed into an excellent starting point guard under Spurs coach Mike Budenholzer, who won Coach of the Year and became the only face of the Hawks' civilian five.

There's also a slightly more famous guy named Ilyasova, but as a ten-year veteran, everything about him has already been set, and it's thankful that he doesn't go downhill.

It was the first time for Li Ming to play away from home in the regular season, and although he had experienced it a few times in the preseason before, there were far fewer people at that time, and he didn't feel anything at all.

Even after coming out of the summer league, he was completely immune to those boos, but now it was different, probably not heard for a while, and now listening to the boos at Phelps Arena, he paused for no reason.

"Whew! But it's been a while since I've heard this kind of booing! ”

There is a saying that it is easy to enter luxury with simplicity, and it is difficult to enter simplicity from luxury, Li Ming is like this now, he is used to hearing the shouts for him, and suddenly he is really not used to it.

Warming up with boos, Li Ming became more and more aggrieved, isn't he a thorn! The more he listened to the boos, the more piercing he became, and he couldn't wait to get on the field to vent.

"Toot"

The referee's whistle blows and the game begins.

Eagles center Dedmon jumped the ball and played it to Schroder, who got the ball over the halfway line and dribbled faster in an instant.

As the new face of the Hawks, Schroder is a speed-based pick-and-roll guard with a starting point guard-level vision, excellent dribbling ability, can protect the ball in high-speed movement, and has an outstanding ability to help teammates score.

Dedmon pulled to the high position, and Schroeder immediately went around.

Block and dismantle and dismantle, block in front and dismantle in the back, the two words are equally important, and they must be dismantled immediately after blocking.

Dedmon was conscious of this, and the moment Schroder bypassed, he immediately went down, and the next second his teammate's ball was in his hands and he scored an easy layup.

As an undrafted starter today, Dedmon relied on his excellent ability to summarize under the basket, although his skills were rough, but his ability to eat cakes was not comparable to ordinary stupid big guys.

Looking back, Li Ming immediately returned one, Schroeder, a player, his advantages and disadvantages are as distinct, strong offensive ability, but his body is too weak, which affects the defense very much, and he is a player with poor defensive quality, Li Ming doesn't have much eye on him.

The Hawks didn't have too much arrangement for Li Ming, so they played like this for a long time, and the point difference gradually appeared, and the Bulls led by five points.

But the Eagles didn't call a timeout, they still played like this.

The Spurs are a team that focuses on teamwork, and anyone who comes out of this team has this culture of teamwork with them, and Budenholzer is the best of them, and the Hawks' Commons five tigers sat first in the East when he single-handedly tuned.

Everyone doesn't have to force their shots, they can learn to share the ball.

Although the eagles are now heading to the bottom of the east, this cultural accumulation has not been lost.

Budenholzer has proven everything he needs to prove, and his mission this season is comfortable: to play as hard as he can.

For him, probably the only thing to focus on is to cultivate the team culture, and once the culture can be formed, the improvement of the team is immeasurable.

It's like the Celtics' green army soul, the Lakers' purple and gold blood, and the paranoia of Salt Lake City.

When Atalanta can have its own unique culture, each player will be more connected to each other.

Budenholzer's task now is this, and if you want to cultivate team culture, you naturally have to start by cultivating team temperament and team atmosphere.

Rome wasn't built in a day, and the culture is a constant battle, and thankfully, Budenholzer has taken on the role of president of basketball in the offseason.

Now he has plenty of time.

Silently watching everything on the field, as long as these players can run and shoot according to his tactical arrangement, then there is no problem, as for the result, a loss is a win for them, and they don't have to care at all.

The difference in points is getting bigger and bigger, and by the end of the half, the difference has been widened to 10 points. Schroder wasn't in great shape today, hitting only three of his fifteen shots and shooting just two out of two.

If this was in other teams, the head coach would have replaced him a long time ago, but in the second half he was still reckless on the field, and it can be seen that he is the team's key training target this season.

It's all just about getting him to play the stats.

Li Ming's defensive pressure in the face of such an opponent suddenly decreased, compared to LeBron's defense, Schroder was like a paper paste, all kinds of jumpers after breaking through or blocking and dismantling, and he easily brushed up the data of 22 points and seven boards without going all out.

Then sit on the bench and watch the Bulls vs. Hawks garbage time battle.
