"No, Ace didn't walk."

At some point, Coach Kruger also arrived.

"No move? Ace picked up the ball!" Emmanuel was very unconvinced. If he didn't move, wouldn't it mean that both of them would have been blown away? Oh my God, even though Emmanuel knew that

I won't be as good as Liu Mang in the future, and my offensive talent is much worse, but it's still a bit miserable to be abused by a rookie! You don't play like this if you have a good relationship.

The coach must be protecting this rookie!

Emmanuel asked the assistant coach: "Didn't you walk?"

"No, Ace just changed his rhythm while traveling, and you were thrown away."

"..." Emmanuel was very sad and angry, saying that he didn't recognize Liu Mang, his younger brother, who was so much more powerful than his 'boss'.

Muhammad was different and gave a thumbs up to Liu Mang's change of rhythm.

Originally, this kind of training ground was not a formal one. The assistant coach and the team captain Raheem should have organized two five-on-five training sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, coach Kruger just came on a whim, and also watched.

A surprising scene arrived.

When did this brat learn a change of pace?

In the past, Liu Mang was always rushing, either holding the ball and shooting. When he rushed to the basket, he had two choices. When he was in college, he fought hard, and then he lacked physical fitness. The more powerful center was blocked.

After entering the NBA, I tried to make fouls in different ways, and the results were pretty good.

But when did you learn this trick?

The pause and restart of the rhythm in the middle even gave the defensive player the feeling of walking, but during the continuous three-step layup, it would not be considered a walk according to the rules!

Speaking of which, Liu Mang's layup with Kyle Anderson was much more lethal than Kyle Anderson himself. Liu Mang has a speed that Kyle Anderson does not have. After the sudden slowdown of the rhythm, the opponent may be out of position.

When double-teamed, you can immediately accelerate and take action quickly!

In just one round, Coach Kruger saw a new skill that Liu Mang had mastered.

When Coach Kruger brought Liu Mang into the NBA, he only expected Liu Mang to be a qualified substitute three-point shooter. Unexpectedly, this kid got the idea! The more he played, the smarter he became. Now he can even use changes in rhythm to attack inside.

!

You must know that some players, after spending their entire careers, cannot change the rhythm. Players who are straight-forward will stay straight-forward all their lives. Those who just hold the ball and do it will play that way all their lives. Even many superstars are like this.

If your rhythm changes, you won’t know how to play!

This is also the reason why many superstars who were the top players in the league before the age of 30 cannot play well after their bodies are unable to keep up with the ball.

Coach Kruger now has a new positioning for Liu Mang. His body is a bit weak, and his explosive power and jumping ability are a bit lacking, but he is fast enough. He has become stronger, has a good feel, and his rhythm changes are starting to look good.

Liu Mang's template can be positioned as a version of Andre Miller from the University of Utah with enhanced outside shooting ability!

Players like Andre Miller are the type of players that all coaches like. He is young and old, has a stable style of play, and plays extremely reasonably...

Coach Kruger thought of the last two points, then looked at Liu Mang, uh... how about changing the template?

…

…

Two days passed quickly, and on November 23, two national live broadcasts of Thanksgiving Day came.

The first game is the Eagles' away game against the Pistons.

This game is probably regarded by the league as an appetizer for the Thanksgiving game. Thanksgiving is celebrated only by Americans and is one of their rare original holidays. Most of the holidays in the United States are left over from the colonial period.

In the eyes of the older generation, Thanksgiving is an important holiday no less important than Christmas. Many famous American Christmas songs were originally used to praise Thanksgiving, but eventually they became Christmas songs.

This is the second time the Hawks have played a national live broadcast this season. The first time was against the 76ers. As the Hawks and Pistons have been lingering in the first and second positions in the league, their attention has also increased a lot.

When the Eagles team bus arrived at the Palace of Auburn Hills, a large number of reporters gathered around it. The Eagles players felt flattered!

"Now that you have maintained the league's best record of 8 wins and 1 loss, are you confident of defeating the Pistons next?"

"Ace, you have performed very well in almost all the previous nine games. Will you continue your previous performance this time against the Pistons?"

"Mr. Theo Ratliff, you and Ben Wallace of the Pistons are first and second in the blocks list respectively. Are you confident that you will win the block title this year?"

"Coach Lon Kruger, people think that you and Coach Rick Carlisle are the favorites for this year's coach of the year. They think that you will be the sixth best rookie coach in NBA history after Doc Rivers. You

Are you confident about this?"

"..."

"..."

NBA players are taller than ordinary reporters and move very fast, but these reporters can keep up even with cameras and microphones on their shoulders. Well, generally speaking, women hold the microphones and men hold them.

With the camera, men and women can work together without getting tired.

Fortunately, the coaching staff informed them in advance that they could not answer reporters' questions before the official interview, and were prohibited from answering them to avoid being hyped.

How do reporters survive? News! Even if they know that those players will most likely not answer at this time, if any rookie answers, it will be news! Even if it is just a casual sentence expressing confidence, they can make up news.

Publish 10,000 stories.

Liu Mang looked at so many reporters. It seemed like this was the first time that so many reporters had come to interview! It was true that the 76ers' game was broadcast live across the United States, but at that time, the Hawks did not attract as much attention as they do now, and everyone thought that the Hawks were trying to take advantage of the 76ers.

It was broadcast live across the United States, but I didn’t expect the Eagles to win.

I really want to be interviewed! Maybe I can get a wave of rogue points by seven or eight. Even if the rogue point lottery is very unreliable, who would think there are too many opportunities!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is a pity that the coach has repeatedly made clear requests and is not allowed to answer.

Although there will be a pre-match interview for a while, either Jason Terry or Raheem, the two best players on the team, will be the substitute in which round...

…

Sometimes, the less expected things happen to happen to you.

The team's press officer Storz Bol came to inform Liu Mang that ESPN Sports wanted to interview him!

Even Coach Kruger was alarmed by this. A big TV station came to interview a rookie? Liu Mang is not a popular rookie. This treatment is a bit wrong. It should be at least the treatment for lottery players, and the Hawks are not popular either.

This situation does not exist in the team, even if Liu Mang played really well.

At the same time, Liu Mang's identity as a Chinese player, and the Chinese market has not yet been officially opened up, there is very little hype specifically aimed at him, because it is useless to speculate. Now Liu Mang's most important identity in the NBA is

Hawks players, the market value of Chinese players has not yet been developed. Even for some reasons, people in China who do not circumvent the wall and follow the NBA will not know that the NBA has another Chinese player. Now the Internet is not developed, and Liu Mang has not attracted domestic attention.

For the news to be hyped, Yao Ming has to enter the NBA. This is the consensus of coach Kruger and the team management. It is also a key year for Liu Mang's development. I won't know the details until the next year.

situation.

Yao Ming is the most important link between the NBA and China. The future information age will be an important reason for completely connecting this link firmly, but Yao Ming's joining the NBA is the key!

Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang's excited expression when he heard about the interview with ESPN, and knew that he could not continue to block Liu Mang's contact with the media. What young man doesn't like to show off? This is a pre-game interview broadcast live across the United States!

In this regard, Coach Kruger could only remind you again and again: "Ace, you have to be careful about the language traps they set. They will lead you to say something they want, but those things are not good for you..."

Liu Mang nodded to show that he knew and that he would be honest... what the hell! How could he not make a fuss?

***The author has something to say***

The advantage of a rookie is that he will not be squeezed out, because on the first day he entered the NBA, he was one of his own from the beginning. When he saw the news that Wade and Rose had joined the Cavaliers, James was the only one to welcome them both.

Everyone else was unhappy because their arrival took away the ball and they were forced to trade away Richard Jefferson, a teammate with whom they had a good relationship and won the championship. Instead, the Cavaliers got the ball from the Celtics.

Ante Zizic, a rookie who only entered the NBA this year after being selected in 2016, has been welcomed by some veterans. The metaphysics of the NBA is also very strange.

This is as strange as Xiaofeng saying something completely irrelevant to ask for recommendation votes...

By the way, some friends actually still remember Erica, also known as Aaliyah. It may be due to the translation of the movie Xiaofeng watched when he was a child. When I watched Jet Li's movie, I felt for the first time that black people also have good-looking women. The disc

It says Erica Howerton. I still have the pirated VCDs from my childhood. I miss them so much. I dug them out when I was cleaning up the house when I went back to my hometown during the National Day.
