With a record of 16 wins and 7 losses, the Eagles continue to have a hot record.

If not for the loss to the Knicks, the record would have directly surpassed the Pistons and ranked second in the Eastern Conference.

As the first month of the Eastern Conference's easy schedule passed, they began to play more against the Western Conference's strong teams. Gradually, their true strength began to show. Records such as eight wins and one loss at the beginning, and nine wins and two losses were already seen in the Eastern Conference.

No, the current top three records in the Eastern Conference are the Nets with 18 wins and 5 losses, and the Pistons and Hawks both with 16 wins and 7 losses. Because of the relationship between wins and losses and the division system, the Hawks are ranked fourth.

After beating the Grizzlies, the Hawks returned to Atlanta to prepare for a back-to-back game on No. 19 and No. 20.

The first game of two back-to-back games was against the slumping Bulls, so there wasn't much pressure. However, given the previous loss to the Knicks, I still attached great importance to it. The second game was difficult, against the powerful Jazz in the Western Conference's decline.

I just played an away game, and although I wasn't that tired, I returned to Atlanta on the morning of the 17th. Coach Kruger still gave the players a day off to let the players rest and train again on the 18th.

It is very important to balance work and rest, especially as we are about to enter the middle of the season. The schedule is difficult and there are more and more back-to-backs. The Hawks will have two consecutive back-to-backs. Even if the players are young, they should not be too tired. Injuries affect young people.

The big thing for a person in the future is like Dickerson who played against the Grizzlies in the last game. He had one foot on the list of first-class players, but because the team was too weak and played too tired, the other foot was broken.

Continuous games are less of a physical burden for rookies who have just entered the NBA. They are all young. The mental fatigue of such continuous games is the key.

The schedule is too tight, and I have to change opponents every day to think about how to play, and have meetings every day to study the next opponent, which requires a process of adaptation.

Even if Liu Mang has a physical potion, usually after such an away game, he will still choose to rest in the afternoon after returning to Atlanta.

Even if it's just having a meal, watching an ordinary movie, or doing something casual, just relax and divert your nervous attention.

But this time he didn't rest. He held a ball and watched the physically and mentally exhausting training. Moron Willie said that training was about to start!

He didn't believe it! His stepback was so beautiful. Due to his light weight and fast speed, Liu Mang felt that his stepback was much better than that of Buford!

But why can’t we get rid of the defense?

There must be something wrong with the ball, the basket, or the floor that day. It must not be your fault!

Liu Mang and the one-on-one Moron Willy experimented with step-back jump shots again and again. What made him feel desperate was that even in front of this fat trainer who was over 40 years old, his shots after step-back were still every time.

They were all guarded.

What's wrong?

Liu Mang once again held the ball and looked at Moron Willie, who was even more exhausted mentally and physically, wondering what went wrong.

"Ace," Moron-Willie couldn't stand it anymore, "I'll find a human-shaped stand for you, and you can just practice strong throwing, okay?"

It's been an hour, and Liu Mang just jumped out of the three-point line, and then shot against the defense, and he still couldn't make the shot!

Moron-Willie understood it this way, because Liu Mang's style of play was rough, and he probably had almost practiced shooting from open positions, and it was indeed accurate, so he started practicing shooting against the defense.

Since the coach doesn't care, it means our rookie has this talent! It's worth training with him.

But I was too tired to defend like this! I had to actively pounce on him every time, because Liu Mang gave him enough time to interfere when he adjusted his jump shot.

"How do I practice a step-back jump shot against the board? Mo Long, do you want to be lazy? I'll complain to the coach!" Liu Mang felt that he was despised. He couldn't even practice a step-back jump shot, and he even blushed a little.

, so embarrassing.

Only then did Moron Willy realize that this guy was actually practicing a step-back jump shot!

What's your step-back jump shot like?

Moron-Willi felt that he had been a fool accompanying another fool in the previous hour and wasted his energy. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Ace, is this your first time to formally learn the step-back?"

First time? How can a man say it is his first time? Liu Mang retorted: "How is that possible! Look at my beautiful step back, does it look like my first time?"

Moron-Willy covered his head helplessly, trying to ridicule this rookie, which would make him angry to death, and said helplessly: "Yes, yes, you are very good at stepping back, but there is something wrong with your shooting."

"That's right! Why can't I guard other people's jump shots? Why can't I keep up with my step-back jump shot even if you are so fat?" Liu Mang responded in confusion.

Am I so fat? Moron-Willi has some angina.

"I'm not angry. This guy is a student of the head coach. I still owe him a favor. Although he doesn't know it, he's not angry..."

Moron-Willi adjusted his mentality and put aside all the miscellaneous thoughts. As a trainer, it is his job to help the team players find their training problems.

As a trainer who joined the NBA in the 1980s and 1990s when the training department was still immature, after a more scientific and standardized trainer system was established in the new century, most of the trainers at that time were unemployed, and a large number of them were in college.

A professional trainer majoring in nutrition, human body structure, and sports entered the NBA. As a former amateur trainer, he can still stay in the team. Moron Willy has always worked hard, and seriousness is his characteristic.

"Ace, just pretend that someone is guarding you and let me take a look at your jump shot." Moron Willie said to Liu Mang.

Just now in the "mountain", Moron-Willi could not clearly see what was wrong with Liu Mang, but he could tell at a glance that something was wrong. It was definitely not a correct step-back jumper.

After thinking for a moment and organizing his words, Moron-Willy said: "Ace, your shooting is very accurate, but there is a problem. Your shooting posture is not suitable for step-back jumpers. You jump too high and move a lot."

After that, too much preparation time is required, so it is better to just jump up and shoot. Your shot is to hold the ball in front of your forehead and throw it. This kind of shot is not suitable for practicing stepback. We can go to the editor to find the Celtics

Video of Paul Pierce, whose stepback is probably the best in the league.

His shot is a push shot. Your shot is not suitable. Your shot is more similar to Jordan and Payton's jump shot. Their step back is OK, but you can't. Your jump height is not high enough. Step back jump shot is the best.

It was originally a trick invented by female basketball players. It is a trick to increase the shooting space when the explosive power is not enough to throw away the opponent, so pushing the shot is the easiest."

Moron-Willi's professional knowledge is so solid! I watch the women's basketball team all the time.

Liu Mang was a little dumbfounded. Isn't my shooting suitable for practicing step-back jumpers?

Not suitable!

Ya's young master spent 6 stealing cards and told me that they are not suitable! Where is the system? Come out and have a fight!

Wait, system?

Not suitable for shooting?

It seems that I have a shooting bag, right?

Push shot? Does a flick shot count as a push shot?

"System, pack the iron ball's shot package. By the way, can you switch the shot package at any time?"

"The shooting bag can be switched at any time, but it is recommended not to switch too many shooting bags, as it will affect the host's feel when shooting."

This Liu Mang knows that one or two shooting postures are fine, but he is unwilling to use more than one. He likes his original shooting posture very much, which is quite standard. Whoever likes to use this kind of crooked shooting posture can use it.

It seems that Ball was quite accurate when he was in college when he was stepping back to snipe! After entering the NBA and facing more confrontations, his shooting became less good. Later, when his body became stronger, his shooting probably got better. After all, no matter how ugly the posture is, if he keeps practicing,

You can practice it accurately no matter what, and it's still the three-point era in the future.

"Molong, do you think I'm investing in a bank like this?"

Liu Mang picked up a ball. There were many balls on the floor.

How to shoot? As a former professional player, Moron Willie knows how important shooting numbers are to a player, but it is difficult to change shooting habits. If you force them to change, it is estimated that the shooting will become extremely unstable for a long time. He cannot

I hope Liu Mang's shooting ability will be affected because he has to develop an offensive method that he is not very good at.

Moron Willy looked at Liu Mang. Liu Mang first made a feint into the air. The speed was very fast. Moron Willy felt that if he defended himself, he would definitely choose to move laterally to defend. At this time, Liu Mang followed.

Retreat and pop up the three-point line.

In this series of actions, Moron Willy really felt that Liu Mang did a good job, but the shooting that Liu Mang had practiced for a whole hour before was not so good. Liu Mang was more suitable for direct force shots and pick-and-roll shots.

Or open shots, these three methods Liu Mang can guarantee a hit rate of about 40%. Fans gradually recognized Liu Mang's use of these three methods, and they were not as surprised as they were at the beginning.

Moron-Willi has experienced this series of smooth movements countless times before, and he no longer finds it surprising.

However, the moment Liu Mang picked up the ball after it bounced out, Moron-Willie couldn't understand it.

Liu Mang held the ball with both hands and placed it on his left waist.

What is this posture?

Before Moron Willy could think any more, Liu Mang lifted the ball to his left shoulder with both hands and swung the ball toward the basket with his right hand!

That's right, just throw it towards the basket!

There was no one to defend, and the training mode was on. Liu Mang felt very good when he threw it out, and the ball hit the ball hollow!

Moron-Willie looked at the waves on the basket in stunned silence, "Oh my god, so fast, so accurate, so awesome!"

Apart from being a bit ugly, this step-back jumper was a perfect score!

However, this posture is really ugly!

"Ace, can you always shoot so accurately with this posture?" Moron-Willie felt that the speed of the shot was very consistent from picking up the ball to putting it down.

When you reach the position of the left shoulder, you have completed the adjustment. This is the advantage of this shot, and the angle is very tricky and difficult to defend. However, this shooting posture is quite difficult to practice! Not every time you are lucky enough to make a shot! So!

Moron-Willi was still skeptical.

"It should be okay." Liu Mang said and started practicing shooting.

In the training mode, Liu Mang can choose to train in the best state, that is, to come on the bench from the bench during the game, so as to better participate in the team training and avoid the problem of too big a strength gap, so after triggering the bench gangster

He has a three-point ability value of 88. After putting on the iron ball shooting bag, his body is very accustomed to shooting snipers. His overall shooting percentage is very good, and his training shooting percentage is over 80%.

Seeing Liu Mang constantly sniping away and scoring eight or nine points out of ten, Moron Willy felt that his outlook was ruined.

How can a person be so accurate when switching between two shooting postures?

Apart from anything else, in the competition, my singles ability has at least improved to a small level!

From a pull-up shooter to a skilled three-point shooter!
