999. In the new season, the Spurs have always been "preferred"(1/2)

"91..."

"Why……"

"92..."

"93...Oh...Boss Ace is so awesome..."

The first and second graders of the Eagles gathered around to watch Liu Mang's three-point test. After reaching 80, they all gathered around to count. In the end, Liu Mang made a total of 93 shots in the three-point test out of 100 shots!

Stockton, who was taking notes, was surprised, and Korver also smiled helplessly.

When Stockton was still playing, it was true that he never made more than 90 out of 100 shots in training, but only once in a while. The same was true for Korver.

But Liu Mang took the ball and started shooting directly. He made 93 shots in the first time, and he looked dissatisfied. The two of them had nothing to say except a helpless shrug.

As October gets closer, each team has launched training camps one after another.

The league's season schedule is to start training camp on October 1, but no team will actually start training camp until that time. Seven days is not enough to practice tactics.

September 24th is the physical test time for the Eagles players, and the 25th is the technical test.

Of course, the technical test that gets the most attention is the shooting test.

In Liu Mang's shooting test, among outside players, Liu Mang ranked second in layups, first in mid-range shots, first in three-pointers, and second in free throws, second only to Calderon.

The new players got a good feel for how good he is.

Without anything else, just training, Liu Mang let the newcomers know why he can become the strongest scoring leader in the past 40 years, surpassing Jordan.

As for his dissatisfaction with his performance and his casual appearance before training...it was just an act.

Liu Mang had practiced hard before the test, and he went all out during the test, but he always had to pretend to be cool, otherwise he would not be able to hold his own.

Liu Mang has been observing his teammates in the past two days.

The strongest helper is Tracy McGrady, no doubt.

"Tracy McGrady: Ability evaluation 98, offense 95, defense 89, three-pointer 88, mid-range shot 92, layup 96, passing 90, speed 91, strength 87..."

McGrady spent more time training in the summer than Liu Mang. He arrived in Los Angeles in July and started training in August, and the results are still obvious.

However, the team's third strong player has been replaced, and it's no longer Rasheed Wallace.

"Rashid Wallace, ability evaluation 85, offense 81, defense 90, three-pointer 84, mid-range shot 79, layup 88, speed 82, strength 91..."

After Rasheed Wallace, who is over 30 years old, has grown one year older, his decline has been very obvious. His speed has dropped from a top-notch physical power forward rated at 84, which was comparable to a small number of guards, to 82.

The most obvious decline has also affected his offensive performance.

Rasheed Wallace is very smart. He has been transforming into a defensive shooting center since the end of last season, and he has already anticipated this.

Rasheed Wallace's defense is still solid and remains at the top defensive level. The decline in physical fitness is only relative. Compared with most insiders, he is still strong.

The team's third-best player became Jason Terry.

"Jason Terry, ability evaluation 87 (peak), offense 90, defense 73, three-pointer 90, 89 mid-range shot, layup 87, speed 93, strength 75..."

Jason Terry's peak period is very long. Among all his teammates, the one Liu Mang is least worried about is Jason Terry. This guy is durable and his peak period lasts for a long time.

The Eagles' four first-class and above stars are the key to the team's victory.

Kwame Brown has also improved a lot.

"Kwame Brown, ability evaluation 84, offense 75, defense 89, 45 three-pointers, 61 mid-range shots, 88 layups, 92 rebounds, 84 speed, 93 strength..."

Kwame Brown's offense is simply eye-catching. Perhaps he missed the offensive polishing period during his first two years in the NBA. Now his offense is really getting worse. Small hands may be one of the key reasons.

But the defense is almost at its peak, very close to Rasheed Wallace's defense.

Among the six core members, the only one who has not made significant progress is Prince.

"Tayshaun Prince, ability evaluation 83, offense 77, defense 94, three-pointer 84, mid-range shot 70, layup 86, speed 90, strength 86..."

Counting from the second grade onwards, Prince's defense has been almost at his peak. He is the strongest player in the league in terms of defensive skills on the outside. In addition to being at a disadvantage against players who are overwhelmed by strength, Prince has no solution for perimeter defense, especially against shooting.

But Prince's talent was limited. In the original time and space, the other four of the Pistons' top five became All-Stars, but he was the only one who didn't. It was not without reason.

Apart from defense and open three-pointers, as well as cutting through with speed and size, there are basically no other means of scoring, and the three-pointers are not particularly good, not enough to be used as a main shooter.

But Prince is perfect for the Eagles.

Not greedy for merit, good character, mainly...loyal.

I don't know if this is an advantage, but Prince is surprisingly loyal to the Eagles.

The new season is the fourth year of Prince's rookie contract. The Eagles still don't know how to negotiate a contract with Prince, and they don't know how much contract they should give. However, Prince took the initiative to find the management and asked for a contract extension.

.

Prince is not a player of Liu Mang's agency. He usually has a cold personality. Except for dancing, which can arouse his interest, he usually spends time at home with his wife and daughter besides training. He rarely goes out to play with his teammates. He used to say that Liu Mang is 21

Before the age of 20, he was an insulator in nightclubs. In fact, Prince was the insulator in nightclubs, but his presence was so low that no one noticed.

The six players in the core lineup are all at least close to first-class stars. Apart from the Hawks, only the Mavericks and Bulls are comparable in the league.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! With two superstars, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady, perhaps only the Heat's core duo can match them.

Of course, the combination of one inside and one outside is structurally much better than the combination of two outside lines.

Apart from Jason Terry, the strongest player on the bench is Iguodala. His ability rating has improved from 73 last season to 79, which is close to a quasi-first-class star.

Then came Josh Smith, whose ability evaluation soared from 69 in his rookie season to 78, a terrifying improvement!

Although they are not comparable to the top five picks of the 2003 generation, the two are among the rookies in the past two years. Apart from the top five picks of the 2003 generation, their talent can be regarded as one of the best. They are not the core of the team, and they are not even the top picks.

Several training objects have still improved so much.

Iguodala is progressing towards an all-around swingman. Josh Smith mainly improves his finishing ability and defense at the basket, as well as his advancement and passing during fast breaks. The Eagles coaching staff focuses on Josh Smith.

Smith was physically gifted and good at handwork, so he underwent targeted training.

Mourning's ability evaluation has dropped to 78, with offense at 70 and defense at 86. Defense is okay, but offense has declined the fastest. After all, he is at this age and has experienced such a serious illness. At the age of 35, he is already very good at this level.

It's still possible to be the second or third center.

Korver's progress is amazing, his ability evaluation has been raised to 70. It's really okay to play in some strong teams that need pitchers, because his three-point ability evaluation has reached 88. He is only in the third grade, and there is Tracy McGrady now.

He is at the three-point level, and because he is a pure shooter, catching the ball and shooting, his shooting percentage is definitely higher than McGrady's shooting percentage when he pulls up against the defense most of the time.

However, except for three-pointers, Korver's layup rating is only 79, his overall offensive rating is only 70, but his defensive rating is as high as 76!

Liu Mang remembered that in the original time and space, the 37-year-old Korver was still the Cavaliers' best perimeter defender.

It's very different and quite strange.

Calderon's ability rating has improved to 72, which is more than enough to serve as Liu Mang's substitute. His three-point rating is 86, and his passing rating is 92.

There is still a big gap between the rookie Granger and the Pacers spirit in Liu Mang's impression. His ability evaluation is only 68. He needs to be trained well. He may be able to take on a big role in the next two years. He doesn't need to make too many contributions now.

Godala and Korver have grown up, and now Barry and Horry.

On the contrary, David Lee, a rookie with a much lower pick, has very good combat ability, an ability evaluation of 72, and an offense of 83. The Eagles' strongest interior offensive ability is actually a rookie, but his defense is a pitiful 62.

Mainly due to the issue of enthusiasm, he is seriously distracted on the defensive end. When using him, he must be equipped with an inside gate.

Barry's ability evaluation is 75, and his skills are comprehensive. At the age of 34, his physical fitness has declined a lot, but his shooting is stable, which is enough. Horry's ability evaluation is 73. His shooting is usually not as accurate as Barry's, but this guy has great characteristics.

"Mr. Clutch Level 4: The bigger the game, the more accurate Robert Horry's three-point shot becomes."

Last season was probably the peak of Horry's career in the finals. Liu Mang checked and found that in six finals games, Horry averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 47%.

points, second only to Liu Mang who averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game in the Finals, which is more than Jason Terry's 2 three-pointers per game.

Normally, the Hawks might not be able to use Horry much, but in key games, he might be as effective as Jason Terry.

This lineup... taking into account the supplementary players, the progress of the young players, and the adjustments of the players' playing styles in the direction the team needs, compared with the top-light structure at the beginning of last season, the number of new recruits is

Liu Mang is so satisfied with the lineup that is so tender that it makes people’s balls hurt!

Moreover, the biggest difference Liu Mang felt among his teammates was that it was not a matter of a few veterans, but mainly young people, whose mentality had changed a lot!

Iguodala and Josh Smith are in their second year. In their rookie season, they know how to develop themselves and work hard to improve in the direction the team needs. They want to secure their positions on the team in the new season, and even...

…The bottom overcomes the top!

Although this mentality is strong, it is not offensive. It is very disappointing that young and talented players do not have the intention to overcome.

Next season is the season for the two of them to renew their contracts in advance. Both of them want to renew their contracts in advance. Whether they can do it depends on their performance in the new season.

Prince is in his contract year and has to work hard to express himself.

Kwame Brown finally won the core center position, and naturally he will not allow the opportunity that he finally seized to slip away.

McGrady, who had just won his first championship, was deceived by Liu Mang into wanting to help build a dynasty, and he was also very active in training in the summer.

Many fans and media feel that the Hawks will slack off after winning two consecutive championships, but they ignore that McGrady is only the first championship. McGrady strives to build a dynasty with the mentality of only winning one championship. He has completely slacked off after two consecutive championships.

The mentality is too strong.

Iguodala, Josh Smith and other talented players are in their second year, and Korver is only in his third year. This season, he will have a real chance to become the main rotation, and he cannot relax.

Liu Mang watched his teammates continue to do tests. The old players were at their peak or at the end of their peak, and the young players were positive. This feeling made Liu Mang eager to start the new season!
