1312. Keen sense of crisis

What is a qualified leader?

What makes a good leader?

Liu Mang used to take it one step at a time, and he was very lucky and found himself in a very good situation, but now, after playing the first game, Liu Mang became alert.

When they won the first championship, they naturally reached their first peak in team history. Liu Mang and Raheem matched perfectly, similar to the combination of Liu Mang and Garnett that the Hawks really wanted to get this summer.

Rasheed Wallace in his last year at his peak, the Sixth Man of the Year Jason Terry, the injury-free shot-blocking leader Ratliff, and role players such as Boozer and Stockton, epic.

16 wins and 1 loss, the best playoff record in history and winning the championship.

In the second year of the championship, McGrady took the initiative to sacrifice, Kwame Brown improved significantly, and Rasheed Wallace was still at the tail end of his peak. In the middle of the season, he acquired high-quality role players such as Mourning and Persson to lay the foundation for defending the title.

The team was weak in the second round and defeated the Spurs 4-2 in the finals.

The third year was simple and crude. After acquiring Barry and Horry, mainly the lucky Horry, Liu Mang reached his first peak period and played the strongest regular season performance in history. After a difficult 4-2 elimination of the Heat in the playoffs,

, had good luck in the finals. The Lakers were the best team in the Western Conference against the Spurs and Mavericks but were still a little short of the finals. They won three consecutive championships.

But after three consecutive championships, they began to be targeted, and because of other teams' targeting, the Eagles' signings this past summer were completely different from what was initially expected!

From the team's perspective, and from Liu Mang's personal perspective, neither is as perfect as previous signings.

The introduction of Rasheed Wallace, Mourning, and Horry in the past three years has been done easily.

But this year, all he got were "spare tires", so the contrast for Liu Mang was particularly big!

It's not that Marion and Battier are bad, it's just that... unlike Rasheed Wallace when he first came to the Hawks, they escaped from "prison" and are willing to do any dirty work.

It's not like McGrady is ready to be Pippen, he has a very resigned personality.

It's not like rookies such as Iguodala and Josh Smith, who just entered the NBA and were fooled by Liu Mang into thinking that they were super scorers. After all, the team has two such players forming a double wave.

Marion scored 9 points and 8 rebounds in the first game. He defended actively, dared to fight hard, and got 4 offensive rebounds, keeping the Eagles' hope alive.

But I really can't guard against the power forward with the strongest scoring ability in history who is in the best form at the beginning. He has an offensive rating of 99 and is an inside player. Apart from O'Neal, Liu Mang estimates that only the late basketball emperor Chamberlain can compare with Nowitzki.

In terms of offensive ability, Duncan, Olajuwon and the strongest evergreen Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are not good enough.

From a single aspect, such as inside scoring, there are many who are better than Nowitzki, but compared with Nowitzki, Nowitzki is top in offense, ranked first among CIC insiders in history, and perhaps the league's top scorer.

With a top-five three-point ability, Nowitzki has entered his peak period and has been in the best form since the beginning of the season. No one can guard him. They can only hope that he will not make the shot himself, or else he will be flanked.

Battier defended well, playing as Prince's substitute. The two defended very well on the outside, but their low post defense against Josh Howard was not as good as Iguodala's top defense.

This is not to say that the two of them are not good enough, but that they are not used to defending like this.

And more importantly, on the offensive end, they are not as accustomed to the offensive style of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Jason Terry as the teammates Liu Mang joined before.

For example, Kwame Brown scored 10 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks. He performed very well, but it was difficult for him to beat four hands with two fists! The opponent Dampier's strong body was enough for him to drink a pot, but Kwame-

Brown is used to playing well, but his teammates are not as cooperative as before.

Liu Mang played less in the preseason. The coaching staff wanted to give role players more opportunities to adapt to running tactics in the game. This is a normal idea. Except for the Celtics in the 1960s, no team has ever done this.

There is no precedent for the Eagles coaching staff, including Liu Mang, to refer to the experience of how to successfully challenge for the championship after three consecutive championships.

However, this conservative preseason arrangement resulted in teammates not being able to adapt in advance in official games and understand the mental endurance required to partner with Liu Mang.

Liu Mang won the assists title last season, and he is a guy who dominates the shots even if he wants to score 90 points. In the past, his teammates could get whatever they wanted, and their teammates would know how to do whatever they wanted, but it is different now.

There is no doubt that the Hawks are still very strong, with an outstanding lineup, and can compete with the Mavericks who are in an excellent start. However, their grasp of details is not as strong as last season. The main players came out in full force and were defeated by the Mavericks.

.

The best part is that Liu Mang reacts very sensitively to this feeling of uneasiness, and he feels the team's problems very strongly!

If there is a problem, we must find a way to solve it.

Liu Mang returned home and put the little Loli to sleep who was unhappy after losing the first battle. He then returned to the room and had a chat with Levia. After Levia fell asleep, Liu Mang took out paper and paper from the bedside table.

Pen..

If you have any questions, write them down, then discuss them with the coaching staff and communicate with your teammates!





"Coach, John, this is the problem we encountered last night that I thought of." Liu Mang was not polite and handed over the problems he wrote down last night to Coach Stockton and Kruger.

Early the next morning, Liu Mang arrived at the arena early after sending Little Lolita and her bodyguard to school.

They failed to win the opening game for the first time in four years. Liu Mang entered his sixth season in the NBA and lost the opening game for the second time. In terms of public opinion, the Hawks encountered a lot of pressure.

Liu Mang was mentally prepared. He had already prepared for this to be the most difficult season, so he did not panic when something happened. Instead, he listed the problems and made an appointment with the coaching staff to meet in the morning.

Coach Kruger arrived earlier than Liu Mang. He and Stockton arrived at the arena at seven o'clock, waiting for Liu Mang to arrive.

Looking at the large number of problems listed by Liu Mang, the problems that were exposed in the first game were either problems with certain symptoms or potential problems. Some of them were not analyzed by the two coaches. Liu Mang wrote about them.

Came down.

Last night's impromptu team meeting was just to analyze the reasons why the tactics failed to work. The coaching staff did not blame anyone.

For role players, it’s no wonder that Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Jason Terry took more than 60 shots combined, while their teammates only took 30 shots combined.

And blame Mitaka... two of the three consecutive championships were won by this combination's offensive firepower.
