Chapter 11 11. Substitute's Substitute

Do you know why the future Lin Crazy was so popular in New York that surprised Chinese fans?

Now Liu Mang felt it.

Just because of one game, just because of three three-pointers, Phillips has hundreds of fans wearing his jersey gathered at home!
Phillips Arena can seat 2 people. If hundreds of fans spread out, it would not be obvious, but these four or five hundred fans wearing his jersey just changed seats and moved together!Gathered behind the technical desk, it's all too obvious!

Although there were not so many people, even smaller than the Iverson fans who occupied one-third of the Phillips Center, Liu Mang felt the feeling of being recognized when he entered the stadium.

This is the so-called minor celebrity?

"Yes host, there was a balloon star Francis in the last match, and the attention of the game was extremely high. He played a wonderful performance against Francis, which is similar to what you understand when Lin Crazy scored 38 points on Kobe's head, but your influence is much smaller. Your strength is too far from the peak of Lin Crazy. Lin Crazy's peak ability value is 89. Although it is only less than a month, it is close to the top star, and your ability value is only 46."

You don't need to remind me!Why attack us if you have nothing to do!People's system is all about encouragement, all kinds of rewards are given to comfort, how come we are hit after meal after meal?

Liu Mang is also helpless with this system. When talking about slapping, will this guy come out and say that his posture is wrong?Is it more comfortable to change positions?
Just thinking about it makes me feel a chill!

"Don't worry about the host, when the host does something that has nothing to do with the system, or when the system determines that it is the host's private business, the system will automatically enter the standby state."

Liu Mang ignored this wretched system, and began to look at the people on the field while warming up.

Compared with his own team, Liu Mang felt that the lineup of the 76ers was simply invincible in the Eastern Conference that was defeated by Jordan!
Allen Iverson, the current No. [-] guard in the league, is the leader in scoring and steals.

Aaron McGee, the best backup in the current league.

DiBacon Mutombo, currently the best defensive insider in the league, has won four best defensive players. He has averaged more than 3.5 blocks per game since his rookie season.

Derrick Coleman, a top power forward who averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per game before his injury last season.

Eric Snow, first-class defense, All-Defensive Team level, a point guard with poor scoring ability but excellent passing awareness.

Matt Harprin, a rookie in 98, is a white small forward with a tough style of play. His outside shooting has yet to be developed, but his lethality at the basket is extremely strong.

Chuck Daly is the leader of the Pistons Bad Boys, the super villain coach who invented the Jordan Law. In 1999, he announced his permanent retirement from basketball, which relieved the basketball world in the United States and even the world, because he is not only the head coach of the Pistons, but also the head coach of multiple Dream Teams.

In addition to players, the head coach of the 76ers, Larry Brown, is also a super coach, and he has a lot more aura than the rookie coach Kruger on the Hawks side.

What a gorgeous superteam lineup.

In comparison, the Eagles, who were still suppressing the Rockets yesterday, now face everyone except Raheem, who are all hot chickens...

However, the Hawks still have hope, because two days ago, in the NBA opener on October 10, the 31ers lost 76 to 72 at home to the Western powerhouse Mavericks by more than 103 points.

When Liu Mang was observing the opponent's lineup, Iverson from the 76ers also looked at him, and looked directly at him.

He clearly felt the banter in Iverson's eyes.

Because Francis has already spoken out, the next game against the Hawks will let him know what the NBA is.

Although Francis is old, he still belongs to the new generation of players in terms of playing age. Although Iverson has played for 5 years, he is also a young player. Naturally, they regard each other as opponents.

Francis is only in the third grade, but he is already a first-class star. When he played against Iverson, he put a lot of pressure on Iverson. Francis targeted a rookie in the second round, which naturally made many young but already famous stars interested in Liu Mang.

This is not a good signal for Liu Mang.

But what can Liu Mang do, just like this, the matter has come to this point, he can only see the tricks, although he has no good way to break the tricks.

Similarly, Liu Mang knows about the lineup. It cannot be changed. His lineup is good. Last year's runner-up was strengthened. His own side is a "weak chicken" who was eliminated by the Raptors 3-1 in the first round last year. The lineup is unmatched.

Liu Mang got the ball and tried shooting. Indeed, the feeling of feeling that the ball will fly into the basket yesterday is gone. In the previous afternoon training, he mainly practiced tactical running, because Coach Kruger really trusted Liu Mang's three-pointers. The "sharp shooter" with a hit rate of more than 4% in college, Liu Mang expressed despair. My buddy wants to practice three-pointers!

However, with the integration of memory, the memory of this shot is also there. However, due to the influence of the memory of playing in the previous world, the shooting cannot be as accurate as before. If you practice slowly and rely on the soft touch of the yellow race, it is still possible to become an excellent spot-up shooter.

But now, Liu Mang is a little anxious, this shot is basically nothing!
What to do?How to do it?
Liu Mang can only wait for a while as a substitute to trigger the bench gangster's skill and see what changes.

……

On November 2001, 11, the second game of the Hawks' back-to-back start was played at Phillips Arena at home.

The starters for the Eagles are Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Shareef Rahim, Nazr Mohammed, Theo Ratliff.

The 76ers started with Eric Snow, Allen Iverson, Matt Harprin, Derek Coleman, and DiBayne Mutombo.

Seeing Jason Terry, who was being interviewed on the spot before the start of the game, clamoring to blow up Iverson, Liu Mang originally wanted to rub the camera, but then ran away decisively. It seemed that Iverson had already set his sights on him, but don't let Iverson hate him as much as Francis with his famous big mouth.

After the start of the game, the 76ers who, in Liu Mang's memory, appeared in the second year after reaching the finals despite their stronger lineup but collapsed strength, appeared. Although the lineup crushed all teams in the league except the Lakers, Spurs, Kings, and Mavericks, even the Trail Blazers and Nets were not as good as the 76ers in terms of lineup, but their strength was almost a dimension worse than last season, and it was impossible to suppress the Eagles!

Larry Brown really doesn't know what offense is, just like the mad scientist old Nelson doesn't know what defense is. Last year, Iverson averaged 31 points per game. This year, Iverson finished with Coleman, Coleman finished with Matt Halperin, and Iverson continued.

But there is a word called prosperity and decline. Iverson's peak is undoubtedly last season. He reached the peak of his career at the age of 26 last season, but the peak means that he will not continue to rise, but every day, he will decline.

This year's Iverson's ability value is still as high as 94, and he is still the strongest guard in the league, but after all, he is a little weaker than before. In addition, he will be divided by the newcomers Coleman and Matt Harperin. It seems that Iverson's sharpness has declined greatly.

In Liu Mang's view, the most suitable style of play for Iverson is the offensive tactics in which he played alone and the other four grabbed offensive rebounds last season. Now that there are two other scorers with the ability to score independently, it has weakened the overall strength of the 76ers and changed the team's scoring from a very average scoring method in which Iverson was the leader and others grabbed offensive rebounds to a second attack.

That is to say, the 76ers have become a 3-on-5 offensive situation, with only two players rushing to grab offensive rebounds, which is far less efficient than the previous 4 players rushing to grab offensive rebounds. Offensive rebounds cannot be guaranteed.

Offensive rebounds are not guaranteed. In the case of continuous strikes, returning to defense is a big problem. Jason Terry and Raheem of the Eagles are counterattack masters. With the strength of the overall lineup weaker by more than one level, the Eagles seized the opportunity given by the 76ers. At the end of the first half, they clenched the score tightly and tied at 54 at the end of the half!
The performance of the Eagles in the first half today is undoubtedly very good!Tied last season's runner-up!
But Liu Mang's side...

Sure enough, even if he scored 10 points in a single quarter in the last game, it was still the crucial 10 points in a single quarter. Liu Mang also had a hunch, which still couldn't change his status as a substitute among the substitutes, that is, the water dispenser administrator.

In the first half, the game was fierce, but it had nothing to do with Liu Mang. He didn't get a second of playing time.
