1027.Need a clear goal
Liu Mang guessed that someone would think of such a thing, but no one should ask. This kind of thing is good for everyone, and everyone has the mentality of taking advantage, unless he has earned enough points in two years like Liu Mang
of.
Liu Mang smiled and said: "Tracy, you don't have to tell me not to care so much. I just want to do this. Play more relaxedly and let my teammates grow up. We will have more hope in the playoffs. We have two consecutive games."
Once you have won the crown, you cannot be indifferent to honor, so this is necessary."
"No," McGrady shook his head decisively, "What I want to say is, if you want to shoot less, how about you pass the ball to me more and let me score more points?"
"Watt?" Liu Mang didn't expect that this was what McGrady said.
"That's it, Ace, don't you think that although we all enjoyed the game, it was too aimless?" McGrady said what he had been thinking about these days.
So far this season, McGrady's averages have dropped to 14.5 points, 4 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game, while Liu Mang's averages are 30.5, 6, and 5. Both of their numbers have dropped significantly, but McGrady actually doesn't care about this so much. He has won both the scoring and assist kings.
Well, his playing time has also been reduced a lot this season, and no one will question him.
McGrady continued: "Our current season goal is to win three consecutive championships, yes, but this goal is too broad. The goal of all teams in the league is the championship, either currently or in the future. The goal must be the championship.
But they all have their own motivations, perhaps for regular season rankings and establishing home court advantage for the playoffs; or for data, to win the scoring, rebounding, and assist titles; or to fine-tune the lineup...
But we seem to be lacking everything now. We have a good run-in, a good record, and have won all honors. We only have a broad goal of winning the championship, and we have not said who we should focus on training. We win many games just by playing casually. Our opponents see
We didn't even resist.
I feel like this situation is a bit bad. I think we need a goal. It doesn’t have to be related to the championship, but there must be a goal. For example, can you help me win the scoring title? Or you can win the assist title yourself and lead your teammates.
…”
With so many rhetorical techniques, Liu Mang was stunned by what Maddie said. Isn’t he a high school student? The cultural level of high school students is also so high...
But what McGrady said makes sense!
Liu Mang had been thinking about the issue of military morale, but even if he had that mission, he didn't know the specific operation. He always felt that there was something uncomfortable somewhere, but he just couldn't put it into words.
Just like what McGrady said, the team has everything and lacks nothing. It currently has eight consecutive wins and everything seems perfect, but this is all covered up by the constant winning.
Maybe one day, I will suffer from the "aristocratic disease" similar to that of the Lakers. It is not certain.
This is scary. It's like the 2010-2011 season in Liu Mang's memory. The Los Angeles Lakers defended their title. After the All-Star Weekend, they had the best record in the league after the All-Star Weekend. But during this period, they suddenly encountered a wave of troubles.
Five consecutive losses, the kind of inexplicable loss that exposed all the weaknesses, but without knowing it, still felt that one was the strongest. In the playoffs, coach Carlisle of the Mavericks took advantage of the weaknesses and swept the defending champion Lakers.
But what purpose should we have? Liu Mang thought of one and blurted out: "Let's give Kwame assists and let him win the rebounding title?"
McGrady was shooting and waiting for Liu Mang to finish thinking. When he picked up the ball, he almost slipped and fell to the ground: "What did you say?"
"Uh... I'm just talking. As for being so excited, I'll think about it..." Liu Mang said with a sneer.
The assists are so unreliable. The assists that fail to make shots are real assists. They deliberately miss the shots. He may have lost his true shooting touch one day. It is normal for McGrady to be shocked.
Liu Mang thought for a while, and it was unrealistic for him to aim for points per game. Last season's average of 37.5 points per game was too difficult to surpass. Not to mention the emotional issues of his teammates, just this 37.5 points, let Liu Mang do it again.
, it’s disgusting to think about it, the opponent will beat him to death...
Thinking about it this way, Liu Mang felt that McGrady was right.
The scoring champion has been the winner for two consecutive games. It is not particularly meaningful to pursue the scoring champion again. If the score is not exceeded, the motivation of teammates to help is not that strong.
Just like everyone working together to help Kwame Brown beat Howard, there must be a clear and realistic goal.
Even if it can be completed beyond the 37.5 points per game average, teammates will not be so motivated to help Liu Mang during the completion process.
It is true that Liu Mang has a good relationship with his teammates, but Liu Mang cannot eat the meat, drink the soup, and chew the bones and swallow them.
In this way, McGrady said to help him score, Liu Mang thought, this is a way.
However, McGrady's style of play is to pass the ball when his teammates have the opportunity, even if there is no assist in the first pass. As long as his teammates have the opportunity to pass again to create opportunities, McGrady is now more and more adapted to the play style of a real organizer, and he will pass the ball.
Go out and provide indirect assists. Liu Mang felt that Tracy McGrady didn't seem to be very interested in scoring. After all, he was the man who won the scoring title. Liu Mang felt that he was different from himself. Although Liu Mang took fewer shots, he did not score more than 20 or 30 points per game.
I feel uncomfortable when I come to divide it.
"Tracy, tell me, do you want me to compete for the assist title?" Liu Mang asked weakly.
This is the rhythm of competing for food with McGrady!
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he immediately said: "I'll help you average 20 points per game!"
McGrady glanced at Liu Mang with contempt: "I want to score 20 points and need your help? You can figure it out yourself. You are better at this kind of thing. I don't know how to communicate with my teammates."
Regarding McGrady obviously caring about the team but acting like he didn't care about anything, Liu Mang said speechlessly: "Yes, yes, you are great. Thank you for your hard work. You can be Pippen to me, but I still think you
Better than Pippen."
"Okay, it's time to eat in a moment. Let me borrow your bathroom and I'll take a shower." McGrady said and went to the car to get his things.
Liu Mang is thinking about whether he should really challenge for the assists title. He has only played eight games now, so there is still a chance to launch a challenge now.
It's just...Liu Mang has never been good at assists!
Although he learned from Stockton and also stole the passing master, he is still good at assisting. If he really wants to organize an offense, Liu Mang is far behind the current McGrady, and he is probably even worse than Iguodala and Calderon.
There is no advantage, these two are truly natural organizers.
