1306. Pressure brings motivation
Liu Mang thought about it and felt that even if Jordan did not retire after his first three consecutive championships, it would be difficult to stop Olajuwon's magical performance in 1994 and 1995. Moreover, Jordan played in those two years, and in 1998, Jordan became a god.
Whether there is a chance to appear is also a question.
Between the Bulls of the last three consecutive seasons and the Bulls of the first three consecutive seasons, except for Pippen and Jordan, most of the players have changed.
There were too many troublesome things. Fortunately, the two of them were just satisfied with the status quo instead of slacking off. Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief. Satisfaction and pride are still much better than slacking off. Just like now, McGrady is still very serious in training.
, do what you can do, and improve all your abilities to the first-class and close to the top level as much as possible.
But after Liu Mang noticed McGrady's satisfaction and pride, he felt the arrogance of McGrady after winning three consecutive championships...
…
"It's very simple to defend against Kobe. Just ask Tyshawn. It's too simple. When he breaks through, you just move sideways like this. When he accelerates, just stick to him. He is short and has small hands, so he can be easily blocked...
…”
Granger's eyes widened as he listened to McGrady teach him how to guard against superstars, and listened to McGrady use Kobe as an example!
Granger really wanted to say to McGrady: Second brother, I'm not as good at lateral movement as you, and I don't have the defensive talent and body like Prince... What do you mean by blocking like this or that, blocking shots or stealing like this?
Liu Mang looked at McGrady, who was full of personality, and didn't know what to say, so let's just do it!
When McGrady suffers from complacency, he should get better, but... McGrady will most likely despise his opponents in the game because of pride and satisfaction, but his ability is still so strong, and he is the same as Anfernee Hardaway
Comprehensive, capable of everything, how many people can give him a hard time...
What can Liu Mang do? Do you want to tell Tracy McGrady that Kobe's ability value is five points higher than yours, which is a level higher?
It’s better to do it...
When he saw Shawn Marion's ability evaluation, Liu Mang immediately became excited.
"Shawn Marion, ability evaluation 92 (peak), 88 offense, 92 defense, 95 rebounds, 87 three-pointers, 78 mid-range shots, 90 layups, 92 speed, 90 strength..."
Extremely powerful reinforcements!
In terms of strength, with the departure of Josh Smith, the aging of Rasheed Wallace, and the addition of Marion, from the paper lineup, the Eagles are actually stronger!
Just in terms of height and ability to protect the basket, there is still a big gap between Marion and the former Rasheed Wallace.
But when it comes to assisting defense and switching outside defense, Marion is more than a little bit better than Rasheed Wallace and first- and second-year Josh Smith!
"Jason Terry, ability rating 87."
Jason Terry also made Liu Mang very satisfied. This guy's goal is to play for 20 seasons. Liu Mang remembers that in the original time and space, he was still the Mavericks' second-leading scorer after Nowitzki in the 2011-2012 season.
Hand, his peak period was long and he was always full of fighting spirit.
"Kwame Brown, ability evaluation is 85, offense is 75, defense is 93..."
Kwame Brown has also continued to improve! Even though his talent on the offensive end is limited, he still reached a first-class comprehensive ability evaluation in the sixth year of his career, and he only needs to be responsible for eating the cake and secondary offense on the offensive end.
Moreover, Kwame Brown is only 24 years old, and there is still room for improvement. His goal is also to move towards first defense and compete with Howard for the rebounding title and the first center defender.
"Tayshaun Prince, ability evaluation 82 (peak), offense 69, defense 95..."
"Sean Battier, ability evaluation is 83, offense is 78, defense is 88, three-pointer is 83..."
In addition to his three-point ability evaluation of 78, Prince only has one trick: cutting and throwing.
Battier can also pass the ball, and his three-point rating is 83. He is still young and has room for improvement.
For the Hawks, defensive heroes like Prince and Battier are already very good with some shooting ability. It would be a surprise if they can do more.
McGrady, Prince, Marion, Kwame Brown, Battier, Jason Terry and Liu Mang's own core lineup. Liu Mang looked at this ability evaluation. On paper, it is better than last season.
powerful.
It's just that the top stars introduced by the Eagles are not as violent as those teams.
The focus is still on the substitutes. Liu Mang looked at the evaluation of other teammates' abilities.
"David Lee, ability evaluation 75, 82 offense, 67 defense, 88 rebounds, 50 three-pointers, 84 mid-range shots, 88 layups, 79 speed, 91 strength..."
David Lee has made great progress! There is definitely a gap between him and Josh Smith, who is close to being a first-class player in his second year. The talent is there, but his offensive talent with the ball is better, and his mid-range shooting ability... I guess it is Josh Smith's entire career.
It's an accuracy that's hard to achieve in a career, but the defense is just a little bit inferior.
"Kyler Korver, ability evaluation is 76...three-pointer is 89..."
Korver is improving steadily like Liu Mang, a little too slowly. After all, he is an alternative star who was selected as an All-Star in his peak period in his thirties. But it is good if he can improve. He may have more playing time this season.
, a first-class player who can open up the space, and already has an 89 three-point rating like Tracy McGrady. Breaking through to the top three-point level is just around the corner.
"Danny Granger, ability evaluation 77, offense 75, defense 80, three-pointer 80, mid-range shot 71, layup 86, speed 88, strength 84..."
Another surprise, Granger is indeed a player who was originally cultivated as the core of the Pacers. He spent most of his rookie season playing in the Development League and has improved even more than David Lee!
And the three new rookies...
Rondo, ability evaluation, 70, Millsap, ability evaluation 69, Hollins, ability evaluation 59...
Rondo's rebounds of 85 and passing of 90 are very impressive, but his three-pointers are 40, mid-range shots are 60, and layups are 80... It's miserable. His defensive rating of 79 is also quite different. He's 1.8 meters tall.
A rookie of five...
The ability evaluation of the three rookies is similar to what Liu Mang expected. Millsap is also a late-blooming star. Hollins mainly sells his height. A big man of 2.13 meters is still very precious. He is a roadblock after all.
Rasheed Wallace has declined this season. Calderon, Josh Smith and Iguodala have become Rondo, David Lee, Granger and Battier, which gives the Hawks a rotation.
The lineup is under a lot of pressure, and it also puts pressure on Liu Mang. Facing opponents who seem to be invincible after so many big deals, Liu Mang feels full of pressure and full of motivation!
…
Soon, the National Day of the Motherland arrived. Liu Mang got up early in the morning and watched the Chaoting International Channel broadcast the National Day celebration video that he and Yao Ming and other national team teammates had already recorded. He felt happy.
I have been on many news broadcasts this summer.
