Chapter 1023 1022. Liu Mang's Healthy Basketball
"David, come here." Liu Mang called David Li to a stool beside him to finish.
"Boss Ace, what's the matter?" David Lee felt like being called to a small black room by a gangster, looking at his teammates who were gambling and playing games on the other side of the restaurant, he really wanted to escape.
"It's okay, David, I just want to interview you." Liu Mang comforted him, and he wondered, how scary is he?
"Interview?" David Lee saw Liu Mang set up the tripod and set up the camera. This camera seemed to belong to the team's cameraman.
"En." Liu Mang adjusted the camera, put on the suit jacket and tie that had been put aside just now, and tidied up his clothes.
"Boss Ace, what can I do for an interview?" David Lee didn't understand!
Why do you want to interview him, a rookie, all of a sudden?
I finished playing the Heat yesterday, and came to Memphis today. This time, the four consecutive visitors are the Heat-Grizzlies-Magic-Wizards. Generally speaking, the distance is not far away.
Arrived in Memphis on the afternoon of the 9th. In the evening, the Eagles players invited Pau Gasol, Mike Miller, and Caron Butler, who were also resting for two days, to have dinner together.
Gasol and Liu Mang have a good relationship, Mike Miller is McGrady's best buddy, Caron Butler and Kobe are brothers, so the relationship with McGrady is good, so they invited the three strongest players of the Grizzlies to come together.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone started to gamble. David Li just wanted to join, but Liu Mang pulled him aside. He thought he was going to be bullied by a rookie, but Liu Mang wanted to interview him!
"I heard that you didn't want to take over your father's chain restaurant brand, but chose to pursue your dream and enter the NBA. This is so touching. Come, tell me about your mental journey. My son needs a role model when he grows up." Liu Mang said enthusiastically.
It turned out to be this!David Lee was startled. His body was strong. Although he was a rookie, he would be 22 years old soon. His skills had been matured in college, so unlike Josh Smith and Varejao, whose rookie seasons could only start from garbage time, he could start playing in regular time early.
The thing David Lee is most proud of is that he turned his hobby into a profession and became one of the 500 best players in the world.
"Boss Ace, what do you want me to say to encourage Bekas?" David Lee's tone changed, very excited and urgent.
"Uh...just tell me that you didn't inherit your father's largest catering brand in Louisiana, but chose to play in the NBA and could only play as a substitute. Tell me how miserable it is for you to help Rashid carry bags every day, and how much you regret not taking over your father's business...Hey, David, don't go, I borrowed the camera..."
David Li stepped aside in embarrassment and angrily, and ignored Liu Mang. Did the co-author let him be a negative example?
"Haha, David, don't be angry with Ace, he is helping you, lest you gamble with those superstar players and lose all your pocket money." Rasheed Wallace, the team's most caring veteran of David Lee, went up and hooked David Lee's neck, hiccupped and breathed out alcohol.
David Lee felt that this team was so strange!
Liu Mang was rumored to be cruel and cruel, but he actually had nothing to do with his teammates, and it wasn't the kind that would make people really angry. On the contrary, Liu Mang's handsome appearance was too confusing for Americans, and it would only make people feel depressed.
And Rasheed Wallace, the king of technical fouls, is like a kind-hearted middle-aged uncle who takes care of him as a younger brother, except that this big brother looks really... It’s hard to say, what David Lee is most grateful for is Rasheed Wallace who often teaches him how to get along with his teammates.
Hearing what Rasheed Wallace said, David Lee was a little scared when he saw those star players bet $100 in an ante and down thousands of dollars at every turn, and thought about his wallet.
It’s not that David Lee has never gambled like this. He has played even bigger gambles before. He is the second and third generation of local tyrants who donated all the 15 million US dollars in start-up funds given to him by his grandfather at the age of 5000. His father is a big owner of a chain restaurant brand, and his grandfather is an industrialist. However, his grandfather donated most of his assets to charity, but he is definitely not short of money.
It's just that after he finished his junior year and announced his participation in the NBA draft, his father stopped giving him money and wanted to force him to go back.
Just now at dinner, when Jason Terry invited his teammates to gamble, David Lee immediately agreed in order to get close to the big guys, completely forgetting that he is just a rookie with the No.
Owing money is not a good thing. The more you borrow, the more favors you owe. David Lee, who was born in a rich family, doesn't like to borrow money from others. Of course, borrowing money from banks or investors is not considered...
Thinking about it now, David Lee found that he almost owed money again. Looking at those "gamblers", it was definitely not good.
But...David Lee saw Liu Mang, how did he feel that the boss definitely didn't just want to help him?And there is a feeling of simply wanting to treat him as a negative teaching material!
……
Continuous away games seem to be a very troublesome thing. Flying around every day, staying in different cities every day, you need to adapt to the living habits of each city, especially in a country with mixed cultures like the United States. NBA teams are all in big cities. People from 90.00% of the world’s countries can be found in big cities in the United States. Sometimes it’s very strange.
However, now the Eagles players actually like to play away games.
For NBA players, the chance of winning at home is greater, but playing away is happier!
The Eagles are probably one of the teams with the strictest team rules in the league. During the away game, they are not allowed to go to nightclubs on the eve of the game, and they are not allowed to bring people back to the hotel for overnight stay.
But if you can win, everything is not a problem.
In fact, if you become more and more familiar with your teammates, for example, if you have played for several years and have a good relationship, slowly, playing consecutive away games will actually make a team's teammates more cohesive.
For home games, it’s over when the game is over. If you win the game, you celebrate in the locker room. If you lose, you get depressed and discuss where you didn’t play well, and then you go home.
But after playing an away game, even if we can’t go to the nightclub to play together, we can still play together when we return to the hotel, and we can spend more time together.
At this time, there are two situations. If the relationship within the team is not good, then the more you play the away game, the worse the relationship will be.
But for a team like the Eagles with a harmonious team atmosphere, consecutive away games, even if they can't go to nightclubs, are still carnival days for everyone.
You can't go to nightclubs to drink, but if there is no game the next day, the coaching staff will not stop the players from drinking in hotel restaurants, drinking, gambling, and playing video games. Men's happiness is not limited to going to nightclubs to find girls. NBA players If they want to, there will be no shortage of women, even if they are marginal players.
When Liu Mang saw David Lee who ran away when he met him, he felt really sorry. He dragged McGrady, who lost two thousand dollars and was distressed, to play video games. The new expansion pack of Command & Conquer 3 just came out on November 11. Now Liu Mang is free to play this game with little loli.
Playing away games, of course you have to bring a game console!Anyway, it was Iguodala who took the luggage.
……
……
Gasol is a bit depressed this season, he can't win!
The team has no defense, and the offensive end has no outside offensive launch point. Neither Mike Miller nor Butler is a ball-handling player. The best ball-handling point is Damon Stoudemire...
Damon Stoudemire played relatively well for his age. In the first seven games, he averaged 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game. He is 32 years old and still less than 1.8 meters tall, which is worthy of his salary of more than 300 million dollars.
But this is not enough for the Grizzlies!
With 2 wins and 5 losses in the start, the third from the bottom in the West, the Grizzlies look like they are going for the No. [-] pick.
No offensive system, no defensive system, the Grizzlies just run and shoot, ranking seventh in the league with an average of 103 points per game, and the first in the league in conceded 109 points per game... Now the Grizzlies are purely betting on whether they can score from outside shots.
The Grizzlies averaged 82 points in the first three quarters of the first seven games, second in the league, second only to the Eagles, but only scored 21 points in the fourth quarter, No.
No one thought that the Grizzlies would collapse to such an extent just losing Sean Battier and Stromile Swift, two defensive players inside and outside. Especially without Jason Williams, the Grizzlies' offensive end was completely out of order.
Jason Williams' statistics in the Grizzlies are similar to Damon Stoudemire's this year, but Jason Williams can really organize the offense!
After the Hawks arrived in Memphis and rested for two nights, they played the first back-to-back game against the Grizzlies. Liu Mang started playing health balls again.
After scoring 53 points, the scoring average soared to 31 points per game, second only to LeBron James's 33.5 points per game and Kobe's 33.3 points per game, ranking third in the league.
But when the opponent was not so strong, Liu Mang started paddling again to let his teammates have a good time.
In the game against the Grizzlies, Liu Mang scored 10 points in the first quarter, 7 points in the second quarter, 13 points in the third quarter, 30 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the third quarter.
The key is that Liu Mang does not occupy the ball!
He comes when he needs to organize an offense. When McGrady wants to break through, he runs to catch and shoot. When Iguodala and Josh Smith are around, he breaks through to attract pincers, and gives the ball to the two to exercise their ability to handle the ball.
A talented player is good, and the two soon got used to such a role, and actually returned a lot of balls to Liu Mang.
He made 18 of 11 shots in three quarters, 8 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 4 free throws. Liu Mang easily scored 30 points in three quarters, and he occupied very little possession of the ball!
With this style of play, Liu Mang's hit rate is quite high!For the first time in his career, he broke the 50.00% field goal percentage. Up to now, Liu Mang has averaged 4.3 three-pointers per game. After six games, he has already scored 26 three-pointers!The shooting percentage so far this season is 50.00% from the field and 40.00% from the three-point range, both hitting career highs!
At the end of the three quarters, the Eagles scored 80 points again, scoring 86 points in three quarters.
The Grizzlies shot a lot, a lot. When the Grizzlies were playing against teams with relatively average defenses, if the opponent’s defense was not tight at the beginning, the Grizzlies would shoot more than 80 points in the third quarter. But the Eagles were only defending normally, and the Grizzlies’ scoring became very difficult. The Eagles’ fast rotation defense was too difficult for the Grizzlies. They only scored 61 points in the third quarter.
From the second half of the third quarter, the game became garbage time, and Calderon was replaced to handle the ball and lead the substitutes to wave.
In the end, the Eagles easily defeated the Grizzlies 112 to 90 and won six consecutive victories.
……
……
The Pistons also lost. The league hasn't lost a game, only the Eagles are left.
Before the start of the season, there were many arguments circulating in the league.
For example, the Eagles have won two consecutive championships, and they may have to slack off, but they didn't.
For example, Rasheed Wallace is one year older and has not lost his offensive ability. The Eagles will become very weak inside.
It is true that Rasheed Wallace plays less and less time in a game. Now he averages 25 minutes per game in six games. However, with reduced playing time, Rasheed Wallace has maintained his defensive efficiency, and Josh Smith can defend and pass. 7 point and 5 rebounds.
Due to a lot of garbage time in the first four games, David Lee has a chance to come out and play a game, and he has averaged 7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game so far.
The improvement of Josh Smith and the emergence of David Lee, with Kwame Brown's strong average performance of 15+12 per game, made up for the loopholes of Rasheed Wallace's decline in data and Muhammad's departure.
Now people find that the strongest seems to be the Eagles!
It depends on whether the Spurs, Mavericks, and Lakers, who are now No. [-] to No. [-] in the Western Conference, can beat the Eagles.
When the Heat broke out, they were all reversed by the Eagles. The fans felt sorry for the teams in the East with the Eagles.
But at this time Liu Mang was very depressed.
Seeing the comments on the Internet, they are not praising them for their good record and playing well, but complaining about him!
"Water paddling", "health ball", "practicing Tai Chi on the court", "the old man's three-point play"...
Mainly domestic fans, who gave Liu Mang a lot of "exclusive nouns"!
It's a little late, sorry.
Ask for a monthly ticket!was overtaken. .My heart is stuck. . .
