From today on is the king

Chapter 66 66. It's great to be a substitute!

Jason Terry has a characteristic, that is, the less favored and neglected he is, the stronger he is.

Originally, Jason Terry had already attracted the attention of many fans after the Hawks finished his second year, and he was about to become the darling of Atlanta. As a result, Liu Mang suddenly emerged. Relying on the hard steel in a few games, many opponents that Jason Terry would not dare to fight recklessly attracted all the attention of the Eagles fans.

Raheem is the one with the strongest score and strength, Liu Mang is the most dazzling, and Jason Terry himself feels embarrassed.

But Jason Terry is not the kind of person who is ignored and forgets, he is starting to work hard!

Just like in the 2011 playoffs, Jason Terry and his Mavericks were completely underestimated when they faced the Lakers, and Jason Terry immediately went berserk, this time he also went berserk!
After the opening game, the Bucks relied on the excellent performance of the three musketeers, and when the inside disadvantage was too great, they started to bite the score tightly. Jason Terry was suppressed by his 33-year-old alien Sam Cassell, and then Jason Terry went berserk.

In the 5th minute, the Eagles still didn't have an advantage. Coach Kruger was about to call a timeout and replace Liu Mang as a crap stick... Ahem, when he went up to disrupt the rhythm, Jason Terry went crazy.

Originally, the Eagles wanted to focus on the small forward position, allowing Raheem to rotate to the fourth position on the offensive end to attack Anthony Mason hard, but this time Jason Terry moved to the frontcourt to face Sam Cassell and threw a three-pointer directly into the basket.

The jets are on!In the next few rounds, the Bucks still played well, but Jason Terry went crazy too suddenly. He scored four three-pointers in the second half of the first quarter, directly destroying the balanced offense and defense of the two teams, forcing the Bucks to double-team Jason Terry.

The defensive rhythm is disrupted, and the offensive rhythm is also disrupted, because there is no defensive counterattack to fight, and the tactics are directly cut in half.

The team's sudden strength was a bit beyond Coach Kruger's expectations. Liu Mang, who was already ready to play, saw this scene and continued to sit.

Jason Terry's style of play is clearly what the sixth man should do!Just swing the ball with the ball, destroying the rhythm of opponents and teammates, and then rely on your strongest blind hitting ability on the field to gain an advantage.

Coach Kruger originally wanted to replace Liu Mang on the court, but he wanted to use Liu Mang's up-and-go style of play to destroy the rhythm, because the Eagles' offense, because there are not many pitchers, actually does not have many routines, and there is no lineup for tactical basketball. The offense is driven by the personal abilities of Raheem and Jason Terry.

Anyway, Liu Mang's strength in the bench lineup is very good. When Jason Terry beats the opponent's starting lineup and Liu Mang plays the opponent's backcourt, the advantage will be more obvious.

When playing Cavaliers and Supersonics before, Liu Mang has already shown the ability to abuse food.

But Liu Mang faintly felt that Jason Terry wanted to steal his job!This guy did get the Sixth Man of the Year with the Mavericks...

Jason Terry's strong performance allowed the Eagles to finish the first quarter without any substitutions. In order to resist Jason Terry's outburst, the Bucks could only let the starters play the first quarter on the field. Their head coach George Karl really didn't like to lead such a team with average athletic ability, and they didn't play happily!

After the first quarter, the Eagles scored 32 to 24 and scored a super high score in a single quarter, leading the Bucks by 8 points at the beginning!
Jason Terry scored 21 points in a single quarter, and his performance was extremely eye-catching!Every time he scored two three-pointers in a row, the fans cheered loudly.

but……

Jason Terry was even more depressed. When he had an advantage in a single quarter and the team switched to the second team, Liu Mang just walked on the field amid coach Kruger's black line.

"Ace is the best, Ace is the best, Ace must be the best rookie..."

Georgia Tech fans once again organized a group to kick off... No, it was a group to watch the game.

Liu Mang's fan group, which is composed of former college fans as the core, has grown stronger and stronger in just half a month. From the beginning of two to 300 people, most of whom are college students, it has now occupied a large fan area.

only……

Liu Mang wanted to ask...

Which stinky and shameless compatriot told this group of fans who didn't know the truth that his name was written as "rogue" in Chinese, and he also said that his name "rogue" was domineering on a fan forum just established in Atlanta, and tricked this group of ignorant Americans into printing "rogue" on the T-shirts of the fans?
Liu Mang ignored this group of ignorant youths who were cheering for him. It's terrible that Nima is uneducated!Who the hell would print these two words on their clothes?Do you need to show off that you are a hooligan?
Coach Kruger saw Liu Mang walking directly on the field, he didn't listen to the tactics, and said he was speechless to ask the sky.

Coach Kruger silently soothed the wounds in his heart, the disciple grew up to be disobedient!Then give instructions to the remaining four players who are going to play: "Emmanuel, Alan, Ira, Nazr, you go up to cooperate with Ace's offense, focus on defense, and leave the offense to Ace himself."

Jason Terry couldn't be too jealous when he heard this arrangement!

Substitutes are good!You can fire infinitely when you go up!
In fact, the best sixth man of this era is not as exaggerated as the later ones. Some of the best sixth men in the future are almost the first scorer of a team. The best sixth man of this era only averaged over 10 points per game.

So Jason Terry, who was only in the third grade, didn't have the idea of ​​​​playing as a substitute before. Instead, he switched to the sixth man after the Mavericks were hacked in his 30s.

But now, Jason Terry thinks it’s great to be a substitute. He doesn’t have the strength of Kobe and Tracy McGrady in the starting lineup, and he doesn’t have the right to fire from the outside.

……

"Michael Reid, ability value 73, offense 81, defense 40, speed 88, strength 62..."

Only then did Liu Mang realize that the Bucks actually have Reid!
Reed was the 2000th overall pick in the second round of 14. He is considered to be the two best rookies in the future in 2000 with Kenyon Martin. He even made the Dream Eight, but he only averaged 2 points per game in his rookie year, which actually added up to 12 points. He only played 6 times in garbage time. After all, he was a second-round pick and had no chance to play at all.

However, after the end of last season, the Bucks were the first outside substitute, and the best sixth-man favorite Lynch Hunter, who averaged 13 points and 4 assists per game last season, went to the Lakers to get a basic salary, so he gave Reid a chance to make his mark. He also seized the opportunity. He scored in double figures in the first 7 games.
