McGrady wears glasses?

Liu Mang couldn't help but poke it with his hand. He really had lenses!

"Ace, what are you doing? These are real glasses!" Maddie laughed and scolded, slapping Liu Mang's hand away.

"I'm just curious if it's true or false." Liu Mang took his hand away awkwardly.

"I forgot my contact lenses. Fortunately, the glasses are in the locker in the locker room, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the score clearly." McGrady skillfully pushed the bridge of the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose with his middle finger.

"Wait a minute, Tracy, do you usually wear contact lenses when playing games?" Liu Mang asked.

"If you don't wear it, that thing will affect my judgment of distance. What's wrong?" McGrady was very confused as to why Liu Mang would ask this.

This is common sense. Generally speaking, if a basketball player wears contact lenses all the time during training, he will definitely wear glasses. If he is used to not wearing glasses and only wears glasses when reading books, reading newspapers and watching TV, then he will not wear glasses.

Will wear glasses.

"Oh, it's okay. I'm just curious. I'm not nearsighted."

"..."

McGrady is actually short-sighted!

Once upon a time, Liu Mang saw countless people praising McGrady's blurred eyes on domestic basketball websites, praising McGrady for looking at everything with a calm demeanor, and praising McGrady as a chic, elegant and uninhibited elf in the world...

Only now do I realize that people are simply short-sighted and cannot see clearly.

Seeing that McGrady is getting stronger and stronger, his muscles are holding up his suit. Theoretically speaking, McGrady will enter his peak period this year.

In May after the end of last season, Tracy McGrady spent his 24th birthday fishing. This age is almost the age when all the development of the body's functions has ended, and the body begins to show signs of flesh, similar to the Cavaliers LeBron James in 2008 and 2009.

, even if you don’t deliberately gain weight, you can obviously see that you are getting stronger every year.

McGrady, who won the scoring title at the age of 23 last season, was selected to the first team last season at the age of 22. People think that McGrady has a bright future.

Therefore, whether it is the preseason or the regular season, the Eagles' opening game will be against the Magic, a team that was squeezed out of the playoffs by the Eagles last season.

The league's idea is very good, finding suitable opening game opponents for each popular team.

The team in the East is now considered the strongest. It has still reached the finals for two consecutive years and introduced Mourning's Nets on the basis of ensuring the core lineup. There is no doubt that the Lakers are in the West. According to expert media

, fan visits, and betting company odds, people believe that the Lakers and Nets may meet again in the Finals, so when the league arranges the schedule, it also arranges for the two teams to play the regular season opener.

The defending champion Spurs beat the three-headed Timberwolves, the showdown on the 21st, the grudge between the Kings and the Mavericks in last year's tiebreaker, the revenge of the head coaches of the Pistons and Pacers, the continuation of last season's battle for eighth in the Western Conference between the Suns and Rockets...

When it was the Hawks' turn, the shadow of the Hawks last year was too great, and the league was also worried, so they did not give a particularly exciting opening game. Instead, they had a playoff game just like the Western Conference finished eighth or ninth last season.

In the continuation of the battle, the Eagles beat the Magic.

McGrady's pick of the Hawks' generals is quite interesting, but in this preseason game, McGrady was wearing a suit and sitting behind the technical table watching the game. He was injured. His waist was hit by a teammate during the training camp. Conservative treatment was needed.

Two weeks to recover.

By coincidence, Liu Mang was also wearing a suit and sitting behind the technical table watching the game.

Preseason, isn't it just for running the lineup? Each of the 8 preseason games has a task. The first task is to integrate the new players into the team's style of play.

So on the first day, Liu Mang and Ratliff were not on the court, and Stockton and Kwame Brown appeared together with Prince, Raheem, and Rasheed Wallace.

Not only the Hawks have strengthened this year, but the Magic also have a lot of reinforcements, Tyronn Lue who only hangs out with the big guys, Juwan Howard of the Michigan Five, and Rod Strickland, the 1998 assists leader.

Waiting for reinforcements to join, although Hill was directly reimbursed without playing in a single game this year, and before finishing last season, it was certain that he would not be able to play this season, so the Magic applied for an injury exception.

That's why there is so much room for signings.

Since there is no roster limit in the preseason, if the 20 training camp rosters are filled, all 20 people can be rotated at will. Therefore, in this game, Coach Kruger and Coach Rivers have a tacit understanding and focus on training.

, both teams are constantly rotating, experimenting with the newly added players to see which ones can cooperate better.

On the Eagles side, Liu Mang and others cooperated very well, which could be seen in training, so Liu Mang was given a rest in the first game. He mainly practiced who cooperated better when Stockton was in possession of the ball.

As well as Willie Green and Calderon, they also tried to control the game.

The Hawks, when Stockton was here, played tightly and methodically. A point guard like Stockton can play well with anyone, even if he is 41 years old, so I tried Stockton for a few minutes.

As for the point guard, I found that it was just as expected. Possibly the best point guard in history is no joke, but with Calderon and Willie Green behind him, it was a disaster.

As for the Magic, McGrady was injured and others were forced to work together. Without the only core of the team, they could only try to cooperate with the first organizer on the bench and others.

The two teams were playing like... novices pecking each other.

This rookie pecking match was a lively one. Both teams were running well. Although there were a lot of mistakes and a lot of strikes, the rhythm was fast. After a pecking game, the Eagles lost to the Magic 97-105 away from home.

.

…

The first preseason game gave the Eagles coaching staff a clearer understanding of how the new players play in official games.

So some adjustments were made to the rotation tactics in the next few days. On October 9th, the Magic came to Atlanta and the two teams played another game.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Stockton rested in this game, because he already knew that no matter what system he was in, he could find a way to play well, and it was Liu Mang's turn to adjust.

It can be said that it is a run-in, but Liu Mang's excitement of breaking through the 85 ability value cannot be suppressed. In the last game, he wanted to go up and throw, but was suspended and did not have a second of playing time.

When he came on the court this time, Liu Mang first thought about throwing a wave happily, and then he went up and threw more than a dozen in a single quarter. When he thought about cooperating with his teammates, the rhythm of the entire game was changed.

Both sides messed around... In the end, Liu Mang scored 44 points in the preseason, and the Eagles easily won 122-105.

There was no success in the first two games. When it came to the three consecutive preseason games in Atlanta, New Orleans, and Las Vegas with the Hornets, both teams were fighting with real guns.

The Hornets went on a rampage, with high shooting percentages from the outside. The Eagles hit the inside with a high success rate, and they played vigorously. Most of the Eagles players have good basketball intelligence and can clearly understand the situation and how to play. Although

It may not necessarily be based on tactics, but the coordination is still good. When the Eagles gave up a Ratliff, the Eagles won two of the three games and lost one.

In the last three games against the Bulls, Bucks, and Magic, the Hawks were all one-sided. The opponents didn't do much defense and just did whatever they wanted with the ball.

This tactic is to create easy scoring opportunities. Why run tactics when there are scoring opportunities? Like the two idiots, the Eagles easily won three games.

…

The Eagles ended the preseason with a record of 6 wins and 2 losses. The record was not bad, and it was only a preseason game. The team's goal was mainly to get along, and winning or losing didn't matter.

But this run-in of the Eagles not only makes it difficult for the media experts who have been staring at it to find fault, but also the Eagles coaching staff themselves cannot understand it. But one thing that is certain is that their biggest signing this time,

Very different from what I imagined!

On October 24, after eight preseason games, it is time for the Hawks to prepare for the final regular season. On October 30, the regular season opener between the Hawks and the Magic will begin at the Hawks' home court.

The remaining few days are the last time for the Eagles to summarize the experience accumulated in the preseason. After that, it will be the real regular season!

During the offseason, the coaching staff developed a large number of backup tactics, all of which were designed based on the Eagles' current lineup. Then, during the training camp, more than half of them were deleted, and during the preseason, the other half were deleted.
Chapter completed!
