: 563. 10th in the league!

"Kwame, who is the best defensive center in the world?"
"Ben Wallace ... ah ... boss, why did you hit my head?"
"You're stupid to say you're stupid. It's Theo Ratliff!"
"what?"
"..."
"Oh! Boss, I get it!"
"Yes, that's it, Kwame, you said Jason and Francis are better?"
"Boss, I know this, Jason ... Ah! Boss! Why are you hitting my head again!"
"Just say you are stupid, you are really stupid, Jason is our sixth person, he is going to chase points, and to blast his opponents with anger, especially Francis, you have to stimulate Jason, let him always Go up and beat your opponent! "
"..." Kwame Brown felt his head was not enough.
"Ais, Kwame, let's go, the bus driver is here, we are taking the bus to the airport." At this time, Boozer came with Liu Mang's bag and called Liu Mang who was bullying Kwame Brown again. airport.
"Okay, let's go."
Kwame Brown's bag was helped by Calderon, Korver, Willie Green and others. Although it was a little bit watery, it was the third-year big brother.
Liu Mang's bag was still used to Boozer, and Boozer was also used to it.
On October 5th, the Hawks training camp ended. On the other side of the country, the Asian Games ended successfully. The Chinese team beat the South Korean team 106-76 easily with an average of more than 30 points per game, and won the 2004 Athens Olympics. Admission ticket.
Tomorrow is the day when the Hawks ’first preseason begins. This year ’s preseason time is a little earlier and the end time is a little earlier, so that the regular season start time of each team will return to the end of October. The Hawks regular season The opener was put on October 30, the preseason and regular season opener, the opponents are the Magic.
The schedule was fully announced at the end of September. This year's schedule is not as easy as last season, but overall it is much better. Although there are still 29 games combined in February and March, it is still better than last season.
However, the schedule in November and January and February became a lot more average. 15 games per month. In the month when the regular season ended in April, the Hawks had only 7 games. The end of the regular season was advanced to the 15th.
The schedule of each team is the same. Due to the lessons of last season, when the league arranged this year's schedule, the entire season's schedule was moved forward for two to three days, such as the opening game of the defending champion Spurs and the three-headed monster Timberwolves. Starting on October 29.
Although the Hawks last year only ranked in the bottom of the playoffs in the regular season, the Hawks' schedule is generally very good. There are only 15 back-to-back seasons, including 7 in February and In March, although there were more games in the early stage, there were not many back-to-back games.
Tomorrow is the sixth. It is the first game day of the Hawks preseason. The Hawks went to Orlando to challenge the Magic. They were close and the plane arrived soon. So the Hawks finished their training at home today before going to Orlando. , Tomorrow will be played directly.

...
On the team ’s charter flight, Liu Mang found a place with few people around to sit and looked at his personal ability evaluation on the system panel. Although his progress has surprised the coaching staff, Liu Mang is still not enough. satisfaction.
But Liu Mang likes this mentality very much. He likes his hunger for progress that will never be satisfied.
This is what drives him to become better.
And the source of this, in addition to the opponents who are basically on the head, such as Kidd and the big four quarterbacks, and LeBron James who has not completely suppressed the limelight in the summer even the Lakers Big Four!
In the summer, James and Nike reached a 7-year 90 million US dollars endorsement of shoes, although with Liu Mang's endorsement of sneakers higher than one US dollars, the price has not been so shocking.
But James only graduated from high school and played a few summer leagues, not to mention the regular season, did not touch the preseason, Nike, Adi, Reebok launched a crazy chase, and finally Nike gave the other two A huge endorsement contract that a brand could not give, after grabbing Liu Mang, took James back.
After Liu Mang finished his rookie season and showed his ability and great commercial value, Nike only gave him the contract. James just relied on his talent to sign the endorsement contract in NBA history that is second only to Liu Mang.
Of course, the kind of Jordan that takes shares and pays dividends directly after sales will not count.
In the face of the James Summer League, after the official evaluation of the ability to 82 before the NBA, Liu Mang feels great pressure!
He thought of James becoming the top star in 27 + 7 + 7 in the second season, and the pressure is even greater.
But at least now, Liu Mang is ready to play against the Cavaliers.
Looking at his ability evaluation, Liu Mang was temporarily relieved.
The ability value is 85, the ability value breaks through 85, breaks through the hurdle of the first-class star, and finally crosses.
87 three-pointers, 85 mid-range shots, 88 layups, 94 speed, 79 power ...
With three-pointers and CIC, Liu Mang finally relied on his own efforts. His own three-point ability finally crossed the 85 threshold, and the distance increased to the next threshold of 89. It was only a matter of time.
By the time of 89 kan, Liu Mang felt that it was difficult to break through, but first touched that kan and then said that this summer's CIC and three points have been improved enough.
Really speaking, Liu Mang thinks that Korver and Calderon may be more talented than him, but he has been training harder than the two.
The rapid progress of CIC is the most pleasant surprise for Liu Mang. In the future, there will be more options for offense and more threats.
In terms of speed, after a summer of training, I returned to my personal theoretical maximum speed. The strength improvement is not obvious. The strength evaluation of 80 from the defender has not been able to pass. If you want to practice, it may affect flexibility. Sex, so Liu Mang did not practice.
According to the experience of Mark Madson, a private trainer who is not a good player but a very reliable assistant in the future, when Liu Mang reaches the peak of his 25-year-old physiology, his strength is a new step. Liu Mang was not in a hurry.
Moreover, the overall ability evaluation of 85 is calculated based on the average defense level of the league, that is, the overall defensive ability is 70.
According to past experience, Liu Mang estimates that the level he can score should be at least 87.88 or even 89.
And 89 and 90 are an obvious chasm. If you pass the ability value of 90, you can really be regarded as a "giant", rather than the other two players in the Timberwolves. .
However, Liu Mang feels that he can also play a unique role in the level of ability evaluation of 88 and 89.
Moreover, this year's own team's strength has improved a lot, the depth of the lineup has become stronger.
Although the Eastern Nets kept the main lineup intact, from Liu Mang ’s impression, he was able to reach the tie-breaker with the original five tigers. The strength did not seem to decline before Kenyon Martin left. As the head coach, it should also be the same as the original. Although the Pistons lacked Rashid Wallace and Prince, but the addition of Stephen Jackson and Bosh also has some supplements. It is definitely stronger than last season, not to mention With Larry Brown, the head coach best suited for Big Ben and Billups, the Hawks have three opponents that should not be underestimated this year.
But Liu Mang is still confident. The root of confidence comes from the improvement of his own strength. It also comes from the fact that the team's overall lineup has become stronger, and each position has a better depth.
Rahim, ability value 92 (peak), offensive 86, defensive 88, 95 rebounds.
Rahim took the initiative to reduce his number of shots last season, maintaining a more efficient scoring efficiency, defensive and rebound protection has also been better, the strength probably reached the top of the peak.
Ratliff, ability value 82 (peak), offense 60, defense 95, if it is not physical problems and potential injuries, if the team has a good record, if there is enough playing time, there is no chance to rejoin Ben Wallace competes for the best defensive player, but it is precisely because of the hidden injury that he cannot be made too tired. This year's regular season may have played less, and occasionally may have to take a rest to compete for the best defensive player. Hopeless, but can contribute better in the playoffs.
Rashid Wallace's ability value is 89 (peak). His biggest feature is that if he does not love defensive and focused on offense, he is the top star on the offensive end. If he focuses on defense and open space, he is the defensive top star, but There is no way to balance both ends, which is why he is not a real top star.
Prince, ability value 79, attack 73, defense 90.
Prince Man's second-year qualitative leap defense was Liu Mang's most surprise and surprise. Although he knew that Prince had a strong defense when he was in second grade, he didn't expect to improve that much, but the offensive end is still the same, except for the third. Split and air cut, other basically will not.
For his team's starting lineup, Liu Mang feels more confident.
On the bench, the Hawks have two stars with abilities over 80.
The strongest is of course Jason Terry, with an ability value of 87 (peak), offensive 92, defensive 73, first-class star as a substitute. It looks too luxurious on other teams. As for the defensive end, the team can To make up for his defensive loophole after being missed, he only needs to block outside shots, the defense is still good, at least he has done what he should do.
Boozer's ability value is 80, offensive 86, defense 68, and 92 rebounds.
The ability value has increased from 75 to 80 last year, and has passed the ordinary starter to the star. The 86 offensive evaluation is rare in the interior. Except for those famous power forwards, there are not many offensive evaluations in the league that exceed 80. As for the defense, it is still a big problem. In addition to one defense in the low post, his other defenses are terrible. Similar to Jason Terry, he needs a big center to wipe his butt.
There are two substitutes with an ability value above 80. This luxury enjoyment, Liu Mang said that he likes it very much.
Other substitutes, Stockton's ability value of 77, 41 years old ... keep the state of the sky.
Kwame Brown's ability value is 76, but it has returned to normal from last season's ability value has dropped to more than 60, and the defensive player's ability value is generally not high, Ratliff is 82, Ben Wallace is 84 , Are still at their peak.
Mohammed 75's ability value has not changed. He has probably reached the peak period. His room for improvement is not big. Playing depends on experience and perseverance and Peer's great impact.
Barnes's ability value is better than 60, reaching 61, and there are already many teams interested in his passionate defense.
Kevin Willis, ability value 65, but his age is so old, and his physical fitness is not as good as that of Shuangsha. An old who is old-fashioned can't expect him to make too much contribution on the field. The contract with a total of 6 million remaining for two years is mainly to provide advice to young players. After 19 years of playing, it is not white.
In terms of the three rookies, Calderon and Korver can't hope for the time being. Calderon's ability value is 59, and Korver is 63. The only strength of the two is the open three-pointer. The other ... useless.
The most pleasant surprise is Willie Green, which is worthy of being regarded as the next strong substitute for Aron McGee. His rookie year ability evaluation is 71, 75 offensive, 68 defense, as a third point guard or third score The defender can give a lot of firepower support as an adventure.
The Hawks ’lineup, even those who are not optimistic about the Hawks’ signing this time, ca n’t doubt that the Hawks are the best team in the league except the Lakers Big Four, even if the Kings have Bibby, Christie, Peja , Weber, Divac, but some of the Kings have begun to age, the Hawks are the best paper lineup except the Big Four.
But the main thing is to run in, even Liu Mang, we must look forward to the team's run in, before daring to determine whether this signing is correct.

Before the start of the preseason game, starting from the beginning of September, we started to grind foreign players. From the bottom of the list, the team strength rankings released one by one every day and the strength rankings of 20 players released a day finally came out.
NBA team strength rankings.
The Los Angeles Lakers ranked first, defying defending champion Spurs.
The Big Four are invincible, which is the consensus of NBA fans, media, and experts. In fact, it is the same. If it is not Kobe ’s off-court trouble, the Lakers ’elimination of the Spurs in the playoffs should not result in a 4-2 scorching big score. The Spurs won the Lakers. The difference between the two games was within 10 minutes. The Lakers won the Spurs in four games. In addition to the lore of Tianwang Mountain, the other three games won an average of 16 or 7 points. Kobe and Payton ’s first defensive backcourt combination, let What Parker and Ginobili felt was fear, and they also made a huge improvement in the offseason.
The Lakers look invincible. Malone opens up space on the offensive end and can defend on the defensive end. The backcourt combination of Payton and Kobe is the first in history, but the off-court factors are also part of the NBA.
The second place is of course the sad Spurs, and the defending champions are not the first in the strength rankings.
The third is the Timberwolves with three heads, the fourth is the runner-up Nets last season, the fifth is the Mavericks.
The Hawks are ranked outside the top five, ranked sixth, the reason is naturally the shadow of last season.
The seventh is Weber's injury and I don't know what situation to recover to. The eighth is the Pistons, the ninth is the Pacers, the tenth is very interesting, just got Anthony's Denver Nuggets, and beat the eleventh. rocket.
In terms of the player's personal strength rankings, Duncan ranked first, and there are no suspense in the single-year double MVP of the regular season MVP and championship MVP in history.
Garnett was ranked second in the power rankings, O'Neill third, Kidd fourth, McGrady fifth, Kobe sixth, Iverson seventh, Rahim eighth, Carter ninth.
The first place to the twentieth place is the final ranking.
The focus is on the top ten. All fans are looking forward to who is in the top ten, and can enter the top ten of the league's strength rankings many times. For a player, it is an invisible honor. After retirement, it will be used as a reference for career achievements. Very important reference.
The top nine people think that there is not much problem. Except for the controversy between O’Neal and Garnett, but the controversy is not big. The top nine in the strength rankings are all these people. Duncan is the first to have no suspense. First, Kidd is fourth, and McGrady and Kobe are fifth and sixth; Iverson, Rahim, and Carter have different views between seventh and ninth, and there is not much change in order. problem.
Mainly the tenth controversy is out!
For the first time in his career, Liu Mang entered the top ten players in the major lists! It is very unified, whether it is ESPN, T.N.T or the most authoritative media such as Sports Illustrated, Liu Mang is put in the position of the top ten goalkeepers of the league!
Although there is no such thing as Anthony Davis, who has no achievements in the third grade, was placed in the third place in the league, but Liu Mang has not really proved that he is a third-grade player with the strength of a top star ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even if the top salary is not expected, Liu Mang ’s commercial value does not give the top salary. The Hawks management is estimated to be heading into the sea again, but a player who has just taken the starting position, although the playoff performance It's really good, but Iverson, who had won the scoring title in the third grade, failed to enter the top ten of the strength rankings in the third year. Kobe also won the first championship and was selected for 2 arrays and 1 defense. The 01 season is regarded as the top ten players in the league.
What has Liu Mang achieved?
Best sixth person? Although he won this award for two consecutive years, it can only prove that Liu Mang is the best in the bench.
Two All-Stars, that is a popular performance, including what dunk king, three-point contest champion, are just small honors in the corners.
Fans are not dismissive of Liu Mang, they recognize that Liu Mang is the top 20 players in the league, and even the top fifteen feel that there is not much problem, but they are ranked in the top ten in the league ... Only ranked 11th, Liu Mang actually ranked in the top ten!
This problem is big! Fans are talking about the ranking of the stars.
Many players also came forward to express their dissatisfaction, especially Francis and Peyton and Peja, how unhappy they were.
On the contrary, it is Liu Mang ’s biggest enemy, Kidd, who quite agrees with this ranking. He is the one who directly deals with Liu Mang. He knows how much pressure Liu Mang puts on him.
And Liu Mang, after arriving in Orlando, saw himself ranked tenth in the strength list.
Of course, the first is surprise.
Then, when Yu Wen of the surprise passed, Liu Mang felt something wrong ... This group of authoritative media put him on the cusp!
