After Kevin Willis' jersey was retired, Liu Mang gave Ratliff a championship ring.

Ratliff, like Raheem and Boozer, returned to Atlanta for the first time and enjoyed the cheers of the fans.

Someone is looking at the championship ring eagerly again. This person is the new Mourning. The most important thing is that Mourning saw the assistant coach Stockton next to him specially wearing a championship ring today...

Yes, it was Liu Mang’s order,

Then the two teams began the final preparation time before the game.

Liu Mang originally thought that this game should be quite easy, because Kidd has been injured for 4 games.

The Hawks are now 22 wins and 5 losses. The Nets have played intermittently this year, and Ratliff has also missed about one-third of the games. It is all supported by Carter. Of course, the Nets have always been very good.

A good bench lineup is also key.

Who knew, Kidd announced his comeback before the game!

Quite surprisingly, Kidd's health condition is the least ideal this season, mainly because he has not fully recovered from his injuries.

"System boss, look at Kidd's condition."

"Ding... Jason Kidd is recovering well from his left knee injury. Ability evaluation is 85, 77 offense, 94 defense, 85 three-pointers, 73 mid-range shots, 80 layups, 86 speed, 88 strength, 99 passing...

Averaged 10.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.7 shots per game."

It turned out that the injury had not healed. From this aspect, Liu Mang could see how much Kidd hated him.

Liu Mang remembered that Kidd underwent knee surgery after the playoffs last season and spent several months recuperating. Since the beginning of this season, he has been playing in and out because of recurring knee injuries. However, in order to get in touch with his new teammates, he still persisted.

After two months of playing, he played a total of 14 games, and now the Nets have 16 wins and 12 losses, which means Kidd has not been able to play in half of the games.

However, it seems that Kidd has recovered well and has returned to an ability evaluation of 85. The most important thing is that Kidd's three-point ability has been improved to 85. This is really a forced practice of three-pointers!

This is not an easy task. Liu Mang doesn't know much about Kidd's character, but he feels that his opponent's hard work on technology is worthy of admiration.

Judging from the fact that Kidd's shooting percentage has been less than 40% since college, Kidd is not a player with shooting talent, but in his eleventh season, he has really mastered the three-pointer.

If it weren't for averaging two three-pointers per game, Kidd would have struggled to average double figures per game.

However, Kidd really has no talent in shooting. He has mastered the three-point shooting, but his mid-range shooting has declined. Obviously, Kidd has practiced three-point shooting so much that he has no time to practice the mid-range shooting.

Liu Mang also remembered that at the beginning of this season, Kidd was no longer in the best lineup. The impact of the last surgery was too great. His 94 ability rating, which had never been a super giant, dropped below 90. Even if he fully recovered,

It is estimated that he has no chance to evaluate the ability of top stars.

Vince Carter, ability evaluation 94, offense 97, defense 83, three-pointer 88, mid-range shot 86, layup 97, speed 90, strength 88... averaged 24.9 points, 6 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.

Just shy of averaging 25 points per game, it's not that Carter's scoring ability isn't good, but that the Nets have Ratliff this season, the pace is slow, and they focus on defense. The Nets average only 90 points per game.

Eric Williams, ability rating 79, offense 80, defense 77... averaged 12 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

Nenad Kostic, ability evaluation 76, offense 78, defense 74,... averaged 12 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

Theo Ratliff, ability rating 81, offense 67, defense 92, averaging 7.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game.

After being "protected" by Liu Mang for several years in the Eagles, Ratliff's minor injuries were quickly cured and he did not experience major injuries. He was still a few months away from turning 32 and still maintained good statistics. Of course, after leaving

After Liu Mang, his age increased and he already had a history of season-ending injuries, and now he started to suffer from minor injuries.

…

The final preparation time before the game was over, and the referee announced that the game was about to begin.

Liu Mang went to apply magnesium powder and waited for Rasheed Wallace's roar of heaven.

Unexpectedly, after Rasheed Wallace finished applying powder, he crossed arms with Ratliff who came over to apply powder!

Seemingly seeing old friends who had played the most glorious season together, the two subconsciously raised their arms and bumped into each other. It was obviously not intentional. Liu Mang saw Rasheed Wallace and Rutter.

Lifu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, separated, and said nothing.

Men's romance is here, it doesn't need too many words.

But Liu Mang no longer cares about feeling the romance of a man. This cheating system has another mission!

"Ding... Jason Kidd's strong hostility is triggered, and Jason Kidd will try his best to fight against the host."

This has been known for a long time. Liu Mang has long known that Kidd hates him so much that his teeth itch.

"Ding... The Avengers series mission is triggered: King of the Backcourt."

"King of the Backcourt: Due to the host's perfect revenge against the Nets in the 2003-2004 season playoffs, Jason Kidd and Vince Carter launched the plan with the goal of the strongest backcourt combination of the host and Tracy McGrady.

Impact. Mission goal: Host and Tracy McGrady’s total points, rebounds, and assists in this game are higher than those of Jason Kidd and Vince Carter. Mission reward: Jason Kidd

Perseverance. Penalty for failure: deduction of points, rebounds, and assists. Each statistic that is lower than the opponent is multiplied by 1,000 superstar points."

"Jason Kidd's perseverance: After clarifying a training goal, he will transform in a training period with a crazy attitude. Effect: Consuming a training period related to shooting talent can improve one aspect of shooting ability to

First class.”

"I'll go!" Liu Mang almost cursed when he saw the mission punishment, but when he saw the introduction of the mission reward, his eyes widened!

Like Kidd, he relied on a summer of training to practice three-pointers to a first-class level, so that opponents no longer dare to leave him open. This season, the first team to leave Kidd open and let Kidd shoot three-pointers was the Celtics.

As a result, Kidd shot 7 of 9 three-pointers.

For Liu Mang, this is an excellent opportunity for him to develop his left-hand three-pointer!

But Liu Mang felt that Kidd and Carter were more like Jordan and Pippen than he and McGrady...Liu Mang thought about the combination of himself and McGrady...It's hard to describe in one sentence.

Liu Mang felt that this task must be completed! When he wanted to coach his right hand, it was too slow to develop his left hand. He would not be able to keep up with the long-range shooting of the left hand in three to five years, so this task must be completed.

Of course, you have to win!

Who knows if the Nets, now with better power forward shooters and better centers, will be as good as they were in the past few seasons in the playoffs, instead of resting in the playoffs like the original Trident.

vegetable?

To complete the mission, the game must be won!

Scoring is not a problem. Tracy McGrady is now second in the league in assists, averaging 11.4 assists per game. The most important thing is rebounding!

Tracy McGrady's average of 5 rebounds per game is guaranteed, but Liu Mang himself averages 6.2 rebounds per game, which is a bit suspense! Kidd's knee injury has affected his average of 7.7 rebounds per game, and Liu Mang couldn't help but complain: You like it so much?

Leopard!

Rebounds!

If McGrady wants to pursue the assists title, he will inevitably be unable to balance points and rebounds. McGrady's physical fitness has always been the key to his further progress.

So this season Liu Mang averaged 6.2 rebounds per game, and had to grab six or seven rebounds in every game.

If McGrady is asked to assist Kidby, the rebound will have to come by himself.
Chapter completed!
