"Misery is just one word, I only say it once..."

Liu Mang was humming a song while changing into training clothes.

"Ace, what Chinese song are you singing?" Mason, whose wardrobe was on Liu Mang's left, asked curiously.

"You don't even know the songs of a famous male singer in our country, Zhang Xinzhe. He is one of the favorite male singers of women in their 30s." Liu Mang said casually.

"Cool! Ace, I saw your singing competition with the Spurs, and your performance with Nash and Duncan. It was so cool. Can you call me next time? I won the Dallas Junior Championship in 1992 when I was 15 years old.

The winner of the singing competition!" Mason was envious.

Singing competition champion? Liu Mang looked at Mason... Nima... so versatile!

But this Mason’s talent may really come in handy!

That year's New Year's Eve party was lost to Duncan. Liu Mang has always been brooding about it. He won a singing competition. Although he was the city champion of the youth singing competition fifteen or sixteen years ago, he was at least half as good as his own team.

Much stronger.

"Of course, Desmond, it seems that Jason's position as the lead singer is going to be threatened." Liu Mang responded with a smile.

"What? Someone wants to steal my position as the lead singer?" Jason Terry, who had sharp ears, suddenly came forward, "Desmond, I want to duel with you!"

"Jason, you're better at playing than me, but it's hard to say when it comes to singing. I've decided on the lead singer! It's a duel! See you at the karaoke bar after the game tonight!"

"The one who doesn't go is the monkey!"

"Yes! The one who doesn't go is the monkey!"

Liu Mang saw the artist and the sock collecting enthusiast bickering over disagreements, and forgot about him. He reluctantly put on his training clothes and left the locker room.

Today's opponent is the Miami Heat.

Originally, after completing the Wade deal with the Heat last season, Liu Mang thought the Heat might not draft Oden this summer and was a little worried about the Hornets' plan.

With Korver, Prince, Millsap, and Stoudemire, they can definitely choose a supporting inside man or point guard to form a playoff-level team. They also have enough chips to trade Kidd.

The playoffs are in order, and there is hope for the playoffs, so Prince probably won’t leave.

But Pat Riley is indeed a gambler. He used his coaching career to bet on whether Buss would trade Magic for Jordan. In 2003, he racked his brains to bet on Wade's knees, and later on Stoudemire's knees.

Now he's betting big on Oden, who has a history of injuries in college.

However, Oden was always the No. 1 pick no matter how he was selected. Pat Riley did nothing wrong by selecting Oden. His injury had nothing to do with the Heat. It was his first training, and even if it was not a high-intensity training, it would be reimbursed for the season.

, has little to do with the Heat.

This year, the Heat selected four rookies, one of whom was reimbursed, one Rudy Fernandez had to play in Europe for a year before joining the NBA, and one first-round power forward, Jason Smith, was traded away, leaving a second-round point guard.

Jameson Curry left the game with 4 turnovers and 6 fouls in the first preseason game...

In fact, if Oden had not been injured, the Heat would have made money this summer. However, the media and most fans only think in hindsight. Standing at the top of their IQ, Pat Riley was the one who was attacked the most.

Liu Mang's song was dedicated to Pat Riley. It is said that Pat Riley is ready to step down as head coach, but he just can't find a valid reason. If he doesn't do it well, he will end up "bad".

Leave it to others to reap the fruits of success.”

Just like in the original time and space, Wade was absent for most of the 07-08 season, O'Neal was traded away, the Heat's strength was terrible, and Pat Riley handed over the head coaching position after a year of failure. This time Liu Mang felt

Pat Riley can only hold on.

"You said you wanted to escape, but you were destined to be unable to escape..."

Liu Mang went to training humming a song to prepare for the evening game...

…

Just as Liu Mang thought, the Heat's lineup is deformed and their morale is not very good right now, so there won't be any big achievements this season.

Heat point guard Jason Williams is in the last year of his three-year contract, and his ability rating has dropped to 71. Millsap needs time to develop, Korver is a shooter who needs to feed the ball, and Stoudemire is empty.

There is no way to display their strength, but this is a team that is strong in the frontcourt and weak in the backcourt, and its top-heavy characteristics are too obvious.

Pat Riley isn't struggling anymore. It's not like he hasn't failed before. It's just that this is the first time that he clearly wants to fail before the season even starts.

Stoudemire started to collect statistics in the preseason. Pat Riley still has high expectations for Stoudemire. He wants to rely on him to attract stars. The second step is to train Millsap and go through the procedures.

Jokovor.

At the same time, the appeal of OJ Mayo is still strong, and there is also Michael Beasley, a talented high school student second only to OJ Mayo. Pat Riley wants to win one of them.

Pat Riley is not completely desperate for Oden. It would be a bit miserable to be reimbursed in his rookie season, but Oden is still young, so Pat Riley thinks he can wait. After all, his physical condition and defensive awareness are so good and outstanding.

To put it too much, this year's two T1 inside rookies combined are no match for Oden in college.

There is a big difference between inside superstars and outside superstars. If an inside superstar gets an outside superstar teammate who gets along well, or if an outside superstar gets an inside superstar teammate they get along well with, they can both be very powerful. But if an inside superstar doesn't have good outside teammates,

, it is difficult to enter the playoffs; and if an outside superstar does not have good inside teammates, he still has a chance to enter the playoffs.

Of course, insider superstars are more precious, but the performance of insider superstars is easily affected by the team's lineup.

Stoudemire now has to work hard to brush up the statistics. Fortunately, Jason Williams can't make breakthroughs or three-pointers, but he can still feed the ball. Stoudemire is now getting better and better at facing the frame.

The better, you can still score points.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the Heat's strength is indeed bad enough. The Eagles are practicing tactics here and the Heat have no ability to compete.

Although Stoudemire scored 30 points and 6 rebounds on 12-of-27 shooting, the Heat still led 89-105 without any substantial resistance.

…

…

The Eagles' preseason is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the entire team's offensive tactics have undergone earth-shaking adjustments. At this time, the importance of talent is reflected.

The entire Eagles team is full of past talent, current talent, and future talent. It did play poorly at the beginning, but after each game, after the coaching staff’s summary and adjustments in the next day’s training, the next day

One game can reduce a lot of problems.

After losing to the Magic at the beginning of the preseason, they easily defeated the Heat in subsequent games.

When it came time to play the Bobcats away from home, the Eagles lost the first game.

Liu Mang was surprised, how could Larry Brown always find a job?

And this time it was very low-key, signing with the Charlotte Bobcats for 12 million in three years.

The Bobcats have another group of defensive players for Larry Brown to train, and David Lee has also shown his offensive ability and rebounding ability. After all, in his third year, Larry Brown is also using it.

The focus is still on the Bobcats' defense. Felton, Granger, Gerald Wallace, and Okafor gave Larry Brown another chance to show off his skills.

It's just that the already miserable Adam Morrison met Larry Brown...

The Eagles focused on honing tactics and lost the first game.

Seeing Larry Brown receiving an annual salary of tens of millions from the Knicks and boss Joe's annual salary of 4 million, and being able to win the 2009-10 season, Liu Mang felt that this guy is simply a winner in life, and he can get contracts wherever he goes.

However, the Bobcats are a newly formed team after all. When the Hawks returned to their home court, Rondo scored 9 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists. McGrady and Jason Terry combined for 70 points to help the Hawks slaughter 122-81.

Bobcats get revenge.

When it came time to play the Hornets home and away, the Hawks won both games easily.

The main reason is that Paul hasn't come back yet and probably won't come back until the regular season is about to start. The Hornets are playing it safe. Paul is really crisp. He even participated in the training camp of the US team in the summer with Liu Mang.

There was no problem in training, but he injured his knee during the training camp and suffered a high knee sprain. He needed to rest for two weeks. The Hornets simply let him play in the last game of the preseason to recuperate.

After all, the league has accelerated in the past two years and has caused too many major injuries. The Wizards' agent No. 0 signed a six-year, 110 million contract that only took effect in 2008. This season's regular season has not even started in the first preseason game.

He collided with his opponent's knee, but the opponent was fine. Arenas himself fractured the tibia of his knee, damaged his cruciate ligament, and was immediately written off for the season.

No matter how miserable things are, the new contract will be reimbursed when it comes into effect. The Wizards are an era ahead of others. The first year of the billion-dollar contract has not even started yet, and the star of the team has suffered a career-destroying injury.

There have been too many knee injuries in the past two years. Changes in the league's penalty scale and rules have led to an acceleration of the pace of the game. The first thing to be affected is not the ankle, but the knee. In the past, foot injuries had the greatest impact on players.

Now it's my knees.

When Liu Mang saw the news, he felt that Arenas was not far away from becoming a Guardsman with a gun...

But this is a personal matter. Liu Mang and Arenas have no personal relationship. Apart from meeting each other in games, they never meet once in person. Just be careful not to stay in the same locker room with this guy.

The Eagles won both games against the Hornets.

When the Wizards played the last home game, Arenas was still being treated in the American capital, but the strength of the Wizards... is really amazing. No matter how many injuries they have, they have been a regular in the Eastern Conference playoffs in the past few years.

Arenas actually played well!

The Hawks' tactics have been adjusted in a good way. There is a certain gap from the ideal state, but it is already very good. However, the Wizards were stunned to fight the Hawks until the last moment, relying on Liu Mang to score two three-pointers in a row.

Points seal the victory.
