: 790. The beginning of the new season

The training camps of various teams are in full swing. On the Eagles side, the training of tactical cooperation started early. The training is always very harmonious. The practice of tactical running position is much simpler than playing the game, plus the newly added McGrady and Iguodala, both ball-handling players, are players with extremely high ball dealers, so progress is very smooth.
In particular, every tactic of McGrady needs only one or two exercises. It looks the same as playing for many years, making people jealous and excited.
From the perspective of the cooperation of two people, Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady's passing and receiving are too easy and smooth.
Tony Allen and Ariza, mainly practice three-point corner open space, the two offensive end can have room to play, these two points, the two do not necessarily have too much playing time.
It was Valejo and Josh Smith, two rookies inside. In order to compete for the second substitute inside, there was more training on the defensive end. It seems that Valejo is more powerful, but Josh Smith's physical quality, on the contrary, Let him have an advantage in this year's Hawks obviously attach importance to offensive play, and may get more opportunities to play.
In the past summer, in addition to the continuous defeat of the Olympic team in the Olympics and the world basketball boom, there have been many changes in the NBA. First, the Bobcats joined the NBA. The Hornets are officially divided into the west. They have not moved as clearly as before. It's time for the Southwest Division, and it's playing in the East.
The most significant change, the NBA voted by the management of 30 teams, unanimously decided to cancel HandCheck, which is to enter the NO-HandCheck era.
The so-called HandCheck is the distance outside the free throw line, which can be used to prevent the opponent from holding the outside line, which gives outside players a great restriction on the score, making Pat Riley's iron-blooded style popular in the NBA, and the defensive intensity for one year Year-on-year increase, the league's average scoring per game plummeted. By last season, only three teams in the NBA, the Hawks, Mavericks and Kings, scored more than 100 points. There were three teams with an average score of less than 80 per game.
HandCheck is now cancelled. For the defensive team, there is a huge weakening in the defensive outer line. The area beyond the extension line of the free throw line can no longer be used to block the waist and pull of the ball holder as before. Drag defensive action.
However, this change has not been noticed by many teams. The outside has become easy. It is not a breakthrough. Those breakthrough masters actually do n’t care about pulling them. Most of the team ’s coaches and management have not noticed, cancel HandCheck, the biggest benefit is the three-point pitcher.
With Liu Mang's suggestion, the Hawks have begun to move in this direction before most teams have paid attention to this.
The Hawks' training camp this season is still focused on playing various endless tactical changes in the positional battle, while strengthening the tactical three-point play.
However, the main direction of development is the defensive counterattack under the basket, so the assisted defense talent brought by Josh Smith's physical quality, and Valecho's rebound protection ability are all very important parts of the bench.
As early as the selection of five rookies, Tony Allen, Ariza, Iguodala, as well as the previous defender Calderon and Korver, all focus on training three points, Iguodala and Liu Mang Before McGrady went to practice in Los Angeles, he had been with Chip-England to train three-pointers with a few rookies.
The Eagles' training camp is proceeding in an orderly manner ...
...
With the passing of training camp day by day, it is getting closer and closer to the start of the preseason, that is, the new season is about to begin!
The player rankings and team rankings of major websites and newspapers have been announced one after another and began to publish their own rankings.
The Eagles players are also very concerned about the team rankings and player strength list.
In terms of team rankings, the most authoritative Sports Illustrated and ESPN in this respect are ranked exactly the same in the top ten.
As the defending champion, the Hawks are not as indifferent to the media as the Spurs. According to convention, they are ranked first in the team's strength list.
The Timberwolves, who had a three-headed monster and scored last season, were ranked second.
The Spurs are third and the Nets are fourth.
In the offseason, they got Shaq O'Neal's Heat. With the team still owning Wade and Eddie Jones, they jumped from the 14th place at the end of last season to the fifth in the league.
The Kings were ranked sixth, the Mavericks seventh, the Pistons eighth, the Francis supersonics ranked ninth, and the Rockets ranked tenth.
The Lakers, which originally ranked first in the team's combat power rankings for a long time, were only ranked twelfth this season.
Player strength list, Sports Illustrated, Garnett ranked first, Duncan second, McGrady third, Kobe fourth, O’Neal fifth, Liu Mang sixth, Iverson seventh, Kidd and Carter both entered After the top ten, ranked eighth and ninth, Rahim was ranked tenth.
In terms of ESPN, McGrady was ranked first, the reason is because he came to the strong team to play, the performance will definitely be different, Duncan second, Garnett third, O’Neal fourth, Kobe has been ranked in ESPN Not to be seen, was ranked fifth, Liu Mang was sixth, Iverson seventh, Carter eighth, Rahim ninth.
In the first nine aspects, although the rankings are different, the two most authoritative media, the announced top nine candidates, are those few people, but the tenth, the question is coming.
Last season's best rookie LeBron James, ESPN ranked James in tenth place!
Kidd was squeezed out of ten! And it's twelfth! Whether it is Sports Illustrated or ESPN, Yao Ming is ranked 11th.
Obviously the ESPN ranking has received more attention, and the topic is too strong!
Since the last lockout in the NBA, there has never been a second-year player in the top ten in the strength rankings. James is the first!
Liu Mang's rookie season performed so well. In the second grade, he was only ranked 15th, and James was ranked 10th, overwhelming Yao Ming, who had just been selected for three formations last season and turned 24. There was a hot discussion immediately.
Before the last lockout, this situation was very common, because there were still a large number of players who entered the NBA after finishing junior or senior in the 1990s, like Duncan, but after the lockout, a large number of freshmen and high school students entered In the NBA, although the talents of rookies have not decreased much, the number of high-ranking rookies who can realize their talents is becoming less and less. The NBA will not hone their technical and tactical consciousness slowly like universities, and select high-ranking rookies. It is to ask them to lead the team to win. Under the huge pressure, many rookies directly change from "children" to the pillars of a city basketball.
On the Eagles side, on October 7, the last morning of the training camp came to the Phillips Arena together early in the morning to see the top 20 players' strength list announced by the two major media at nine in the morning.
As for the team's power list, the Eagles players don't need to know that they are the first. The defending champion is not the first. It is rare. The Bulls after the lockout have all the cores to run out. There is no way. The Spurs last season When he met the Lakers to form the Big Four, it was pure blood mold.
No super team was born this summer. Although the Hawks split the lineup, they also introduced McGrady and ranked first.
The Hawks players care about strength rankings.
Of the rookies drafted by the Hawks, Iguodala ranked 67th, the other four failed to make it to the top 100, Mohammed 60th, Kevin Willis ... 415 name.
The Eagles' top five starters and sixth man all made it into the top 30, Kwame Brown's 29th, Prince 27th, Jason Terry ranked 23rd, this morning It's ok.
Only Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady and Rashid Wallace have yet to be determined.
In the end, Rashid Wallace ranked 16th, and he was very satisfied with this ranking, which was much better than the 20s in previous years.
When Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady's rankings were announced, everyone congratulated Tracy McGrady.
"Our team also has the league's first! Congratulations, Tracy." Although Jason Terry was a little dissatisfied that he didn't make it into the top 20, his congratulations to his teammates are sincere. Like those rookies, he Ignore it.
"Ha ha ha ha ... I just had good luck, they think I can play well when I come to the team, it is because you teammates are so powerful ..." McGrady was also happy and broke, he never thought he could be the best The authoritative list has entered the top three, and ESPN directly ranked him first!
Looking at the cheap and good-selling McGrady, Liu Mang ignored this guy. It was so annoying, he became the No. 1 in his combat strength. Don't pass this guy ... It seems that this year is the core of McGrady's response, don't give this guy an assist! Cast it yourself!
However, Liu Mang does not care about the leaderboard, but the team leaderboard.
"No one ranks the Suns in the top ten?" Liu Mang knows why the Suns are so memorable. Except that they played so well, and before Nash joined the Suns, they were completely undervalued. They thought that The team only has a bunch of data brushes, and the outbreak without much expectation is the most memorable.
...
The Hawks are ranked first in the strength list. Not many fans are dissatisfied. Defending champions, McGrady is not in the top three. There is not much wrong with joining the Hawks. If the Hawks continue to maintain their previous record, McGrady ’s strength Originally strong, the player ranking depends on the team becoming stronger and there is no big problem.
Of course, the first question is a bit big, but James is tenth! This problem is big!
Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Marbury, Peja, Ray Allen, Stoudemire, Marion, O'Neal, Artest, Ben Wallace ... a lot of first-class or top stars ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Start to remember James!
If Tracy McGrady and Liu Mang are determined to enter the top ten, they will enter the top ten. Even if Tracy McGrady comes first, it is only controversial.
But ESPN ranked James in the top ten, that is, he is pulling hatred to James!
Moreover, even the neutral fans feel that this ranking is a bit too unreasonable.
On Liu Mang ’s side, I saw many stars attacking ESPN and James, and saw the online fans ’dissatisfaction with espn and James. Liu Mang mourned for little Zhan Zhan. He knew that this was ESPN and the league creating a topic for James. Pushing to the point of topic is a means of star-making movement.
But, the Cavaliers where James is, there is no strength to support James into the top ten.
"Poor little Lebang, come on." Liu Mang looked at the posts in the online forums and laughed for a long time. He distressed James for a few seconds and laughed for more than ten minutes.
As for James's ability to be ranked in the top ten next season, Liu Mang didn't think there was any problem. At the time of the Olympics, James' ability evaluation had already reached 87. At the end of training together, it was already 89, but 89 to 90 It is a hurdle, but Liu Mang believes that with James' talent, he can definitely break through to the top stars before playing this season.
But in terms of James' performance last season and the team's record, there is no 100% of the top ten. Like the Sports Illustrated, ranking in the 16th or 7th is all due to talent.
Liu Mang turned off the computer and packed things, went to the airport to prepare to fly to Miami with the team. The Eastern Throne finally got it, and there was a challenger such as the Heat. Liu Mang felt a lot of pressure. There were fat people and The big cheeks are waiting, the preseason has come.
