Miami fans are very enthusiastic this year, and the Eagles players came to the American Airlines Center to appreciate the enthusiasm of the South Coast fans.

Liu Mang felt a big difference from the Heat players!

Although Pat Riley only showed a small glimpse of his coaching ability in the first few games of this season, the players directly felt the gap between the two head coaches.

Pat Riley has just taken over the head coaching position and has not coached a single official game. However, because Pat Riley’s past resume is really great, it can be described as great. With the addition of the media, fans have been fans for the past 20 years.

The common refrain for many hours was that Pat Riley chose to come back when he saw he was about to win the championship.

And Van Gundy has not left, he is still a member of the Heat coaching staff.

The word "fire" cited by the media is not accurate. The word "relieve" should be used more accurately. Stan Van Gundy still has a three-year contract with the Heat. He renewed his contract with the Heat for five years in the summer of 2003.

Has a three-year, $3.6 million coaching contract.

Stan Van Gundy was originally a member of the assistant coaching staff, but now he has only been relieved of his position as head coach and is still a member of the coaching staff.

Generally speaking, when the head coach is dismissed, the contract is basically bought out, but Pat Riley does not dare to waste the boss's money casually, and it is not easy to find a defensive assistant as good as Van Gundy.

Although this approach completely offended Van Gundy, Van Gundy did not have the opportunity to look for a new head coaching position.

However, the Heat's stability has been maintained, and the architect of the defensive system is still there.

Pat Riley is an egoist. It is difficult for another person to do such a thing, but he just did it. After all, he was the one who dared to let Jerry Buss trade the magician. He dared to do anything he thought of.

.

Having a head coach who has won multiple championships, and there is no need to break in, the team system remains unchanged, which brings huge confidence to the Heat players!

Wade's knees are no longer sore, his groin is no longer painful, and his back is straighter when talking to Liu Mang.

After greeting Liu Mang, Wade said with great fighting spirit: "Boss Ace, I will definitely beat you today!"

"Oh? So confident? You haven't defeated me yet, right? Did Liang Jingru give you the courage?" Liu Mang teased.

"Liang Jingru? Who is he?" Wade asked curiously.

"Well, she is a singer from an island country. She, not him, is a woman. She has brought courage to many people... Why am I telling you this..." Liu Mang found that he didn't know where he was getting involved.

He put his thoughts back and looked at Wade.

Wade was looked down upon by Liu Mang. Although Pat Riley gave him a lot of confidence, he had been abused all the time. As a result, he still had a challenger mentality when provoking Liu Mang, instead of putting himself in a peaceful position.

Liu Mang is in the same position.

This is a precursor to a disease. Arenas has extremely rich experience with this disease, but the precursor to Wade's disease is not obvious yet.

Wade provoked Liu Mang, but it was not considered a provocation. He just announced his goal and then ran away.

The aura of two consecutive championships makes Liu Mang feel similar to O'Neal and Duncan. It is different from O'Neal's arrogance and Duncan's calmness, but the effect is the same. He gives people a very special feeling, a...

...I don’t know who infected me with this lazy feeling.

Not only Liu Mang affects his teammates, but also some teammates with distinctive characteristics will also affect Liu Mang.

If this impact occurs during the winning phase, it will be a positive impact.

The spirit of never giving up, like Muhammad's, was the first temperament Liu Mang learned, which allowed Liu Mang to persevere even though he was so weak at the beginning.

What followed was Jason Terry's wave and Raheem's composure. Now, McGrady's pride in not looking down upon any talent is also felt by Liu Mang.

This kind of pride is not considered pride when it comes to Liu Mang. He just sees any powerful opponents without the fear and nervousness he once had. He can treat these opponents with the mentality of wanting to create a good show.

.

Wade was confused by Liu Mang's slightly joking mood, which was originally very confident.

Seeing Wade running away, Liu Mang shrugged, what an interesting big cheek.

"Ding... Due to the return of Pat Riley, the morale of the Heat players is high, and they have launched an attack on the host and the host's team. The Challenger League series of missions: Restoration of the Iron-Blooded Era is triggered."

"Restoration of the Iron-Blooded Era: Prevent the rise of the Heat, who are trying to use old-school basketball play to take advantage of the new rules. Mission goal: have a record advantage over the Heat in the regular season. Mission reward: superstar value. Failure penalty: Heat in the playoffs

When the game meets the host's team, it offsets the psychological pressure of losing to the host in the past few years."

"Ding...Season mission: The foundation of a new era is triggered."

"The foundation of a new era is laid: the host needs to lead the team to continue the fast-paced play of last season in this regular season and promote the development of basketball in the new era. Mission reward: unknown."

Two consecutive tasks, both of which take almost a season to complete, are really a bit sudden.

This season, because the opponents in the first four games did not pose any threat, the Eagles won the first four games by an average of almost 20 points, so they have not had much to do.

But the Heat's coaching change suddenly gave Liu Mang two tasks!

In the original time and space, after the Heat won the championship in 2006, they did suppress the fast-paced style of play that was originally led by the Warriors, Suns, Mavericks and other teams, allowing the iron-blooded era to continue for several years until the Spurs led the way.

Initiating a new era of team basketball and playing cross-era basketball, Steve Kerr saw the practicality of the new basketball style and the feasibility of adapting to the rules of the time, and he won the counterattack championship in the 14-15 season.

If Pat Riley wins the championship this season, it will be the same as in the original time and space, allowing many teams to continue to insist on a tough style of play, at least in the Eastern Conference.

But if Liu Mang wins, the defensive counterattack style that Liu Mang is now starting to lead, which is considered a run-and-gun style by others, will become mainstream faster.

It may not be obvious until Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett and others get older, but the process will definitely be advanced!

Liu Mang didn't know what impact this kind of thing would have, but what did it matter?

Such an interesting task and this uncertainty made Liu Mang find it even more challenging.

And he finds it challenging. Those other stars who don't know what small ball will be like in the future, won't they be even more confused by then?

Thinking about it, Liu Mang still had some small expectations.

Now that the task has come, Liu Mang still has to work hard to get 50,000 superstar points. The first four games plus preseason games add up to just over 9,000 superstar points, which is incomparable to last season's high scores in every game!
