When Liu Mang arrived at the restaurant, his teammates had already arrived, but most of them still looked like they had not woken up.

However, there were two people who looked very sober, but their faces were full of sadness.

These two are the team's first and second point guards Dean Grove and Jacque Vaughan.

"Nazir, what's wrong with the two of them?" Liu Mang asked while picking up the vegetables and fried eggs from the buffet.

"They will play against Payton tonight, and most team defenders will be similar to them when they meet Payton." Mohammed responded.

Payton.

Gary Payton!

Depend on!

Only then did Liu Mang remember that today's opponent was Supersonic! The supersonic with the trash talk king Gary Payton!

Gary Payton is not only a good trash talker, but also has super strong strength. As of last season, he has entered the first team of the best defensive lineup for eight consecutive seasons. He was selected to the second team of the best team for eight consecutive years! He has also won the best defensive player! And he has won the second team in the MVP rankings!

Payton, who is 33 years old this year, is still strong, averaging 22 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists per game in the first 6 games, which is so strong that it is too strong.

This is not something that Francis and others can compare! Even to mention it, Iverson is not as terrible as Payton!

Francis has already beat the Hawks' back line to death. Iverson has beaten the Hawks half-dead just because he is strong on the offensive end. Take Payton...

At this time, Liu Mang saw Coach Kruger who came for lunch, immediately put down the plate in his hand and ran over.

"Coach! Coach!"

Liu Mang showed a faster speed than when triggering the pick-and-roll master and the bench bandit, which scared Coach Kruger!

"What's wrong with Ace?" Coach Kruger asked strangely.

"Coach, I decided that I will change my career as a shooting guard! Scoring is what I want to pursue!" Liu Mang said solemnly.

The restaurant was so loud, and Liu Mang's voice was quite loud, and everyone heard it.

The teammates were very confused at first, how good it was to play the point guard! Especially the point guard who could fire infinitely, Liu Mang, the Eagles.

But when everyone thought of today's opponent, they realized that this rookie was so shameless as people said!

Dean Grove and Jacque Vaughan's point guards were even more swearing. Is there such an operation?

Coach Kruger was also puzzled at first, why did he suddenly play as a shooting guard? What is the difference between Liu Mang's playing style and a point guard? Why just hold the ball?

However, as the players whine out loud, Coach Kruger also suddenly realized that he would be more speechless as he would be.

Coach Kruger helped to helplessly and replied: "Yes, when you partner with Emmanuol or Jason, they play point guard, and you play shooting guard, and the tactics remain unchanged."

Ouye! Liu Mang didn't expect the coach to be so easy to talk to... Wait, Qiao Dou Mababa, Gan Gang Mani, Wait, Gaster's Mente... It seems... there is no difference whether to change the position or not!

...

...

Think about how great it would be to join the league in the future! Most teams don’t even have a decent star. When a strong team plays a weak team, the substitutes of a strong team can look like a superstar. However, now, the teams that are competing for the No. 1 pick include Francis of the Rockets, Jaylen Ross of the Bulls, Nick Van Exel of the Nuggets, and Juwan Howard.

Seeing Payton with muscles, Liu Mang wanted to go up and say to him: Big brother, you'd better go to the Lakers to hug your thighs this year, otherwise your thighs will not be able to be carried in two years. You will have to go to the Heat to guard the water dispenser in 2006.

After the game started, Liu Mang continued to play as a substitute without any suspense. Even if he was the team's best point guard with the best performance and data, he was still a substitute.

Both Coach Kruger and Liu Mang were very determined in this regard!

Seeing that he had never stopped talking on the court, the point guard who abused the Hawks on the offensive end, and the point guard that Jason Terry was so confused that he defended Jusson Terry on the defensive end, Liu Mang truly realized that both the offense and defense were superstars. Even though Payton was 33 years old, he was still at the peak. There was no problem in being selected for the Best Lineup and Best Defensive Team this year.

Supersonic speed is really strong!

Except for the 1998-99 season, their super power forward, Baker became a pig because of his uncontrollable alcoholism and excessive weight loss, which caused him to shrink the season that year and did not make it to the playoffs. At other times, he was a Western Conference playoff team and reached the finals in the 1995-96 season.

Although the Supersonics are no longer as strong as the strongest team in the West before the suspension, they are still strong. Don’t look at the Hawks’ record now, and they have no advantage in fighting with the Supersonics. Instead, they are thrown by the Supersonics’ offense.

Brent Barry, who can fly even with white men, Vladimir Radmanovich, the Lakers' ski man, and Rashad Lewis, the Magic's future.

Three tall pitchers with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 40 percent made the Hawks almost shoot through.

However, supersonic speeds were unable to defeat the eagle's strength at once.

Teams such as the Hawks and the Supersonics are not weak, and they have some strengths, but they are not the strongest team. They are very embarrassing and feel like they can play 50% of the game.

The Supersonics are extremely accurate on the outside, and the Hawks have great advantages in the inside. Wen Baker was the best-ranked super power forward at the best lineup back then, and he was ruined by a stop. Now he is just squeezing with a fat body, and he hooked and got two points. The defensive end and rebounding end are disasters. Rashad Lewis doesn't have any advantages except shooting, and I don't know why he chose Durant in the 22-point or 5-block season. He averaged 22 points and 5 rebounds per game and cheated from the Magic to a contract worth 100 million yuan. It can only be said that the Magic's management is always so worthy of people's praise.

The Hawks have three strong players in the frontcourt, Ratliff, Mohammud and Rahim. Rahim is still a super forward swaying man who averages 23 points and 10 rebounds per game, making the Supersonics inside a slag.

So although the Supersonics were surprisingly accurate on the outside today, they still couldn't pull the score wide at the beginning. In the eighth minute of the first quarter, the Hawks called a timeout, and the Supersonics led the Hawks only 4 points 21-17.

For Liu Mang, this is the last thing he wants to see, it’s so anxious! In other words, those players who entered the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s will never go off the court to rest!

Although Gary Payton is 33 years old this year, his average playing time has reached a career high this season! He averaged 43 minutes of playing games. Last season, at the age of 32, he averaged 42 minutes of playing time. Even if he reduces some playing time in the middle and late stages of the game this year, he is expected to continue to break the 40-minute average playing time mark.

"Ace, you go up and shoot! Bring the space apart and give Sharif a better inside scoring opportunity! Jason, you provide Ace with cover and use your offensive threat to take the defense away..." Coach Kruger flew straight.

Liu Mang was very distressed. Sure enough, the team would fight to the death when encountering such a dangerous game, so even the Supersonics side would probably fight to the death!

"System, lottery! Rogues are worth lottery ten times!!"
