July 15th is the first rest day after the national team gathered for 10 days. Within the urban area of ​​Beijing, the players can move around freely. Of course, there are many restrictions.

Liu Mang didn't go to continue training immediately. Coach Kruger came. Liu Mang's mother, Levia and little Loli took little Jimmy to visit the Imperial City. Liu Mang, Coach Kruger and

A lot to discuss.

Coach Kruger also wanted little Jimmy to go home, but he just needed someone to confirm this idea. After Liu Mang said this, he decided and sent an email to his old club, asking for a full sports scholarship.

Coach Kruger is not stingy about the scholarship, but for an athlete, it is an honor to receive a full scholarship to college.

Liu Mang's father went to play with his grandchildren after Liu Mang arrived, and Liu Mang and Coach Kruger began to discuss the current league situation.

It has been half a month since the free market started, and many major things have happened.

Garnett is determined to leave the team. According to rumors, Garnett is negotiating with the Bulls about a sign-and-trade, or else he will directly sign with another team.

Garnett's bound feet are long and smelly...

The soap opera from last summer to now continues.

The Lakers used Vladimir Radmanovic to reach a deal with the Charlotte Bobcats, getting the Bobcats' Adam Morrison and a future highly protected second-round pick, which is basically equivalent to one for one.

With McGrady, Kwame Brown, and Joe Johnson at their peak, the Raptors are most active as they aspire to the championship!

Replacing Milicic with McGrady Kwame Brown, the Raptors' strength improved in the short term.

It's just that McGrady is already 29 years old, and it's hard to say how many years he can have at his peak. Kwame Brown is not as comprehensive as Milicic.

However, McGrady, who has not experienced a devastating back injury caused by a teammate's accidental injury, can theoretically survive for a few more years. McGrady's style of play is not the previous style of putting everything on his shoulders, but focuses on organizing offense.

Maintaining the peak period until the age of thirty-two or thirteen is probably not a big problem.

After that...it will probably be difficult.

Milicic, who was born in June 1985, is only 24 years old and represents a 10-year future.

This is the best return the Raptors have received from teams they've asked about that have the leverage they like.

At the very least, no one thinks that the Eagles took advantage. The Eagles gave away one first team and one third team in exchange for another one. It doesn't look like they are taking advantage, but they are taking advantage of their age. Youth is the biggest asset.

The Raptors have eliminated the crisis within the team and have not suffered a loss. On the contrary, from a short-term perspective of the next three years, the Raptors will take advantage.

Just three years later, Milicic is now a double first-team player...

But these three years are the Raptors’ opportunity!

On July 8, the Raptors sent TJ Ford in exchange for Steve Blake and a second-round pick.

This is just the beginning. Just three days ago, on July 12, the Raptors and the Spurs reached a deal, trading Richard Jefferson with the Spurs in exchange for Benno Udrih and Sean

- Battier and a top-25 protected first-round pick.

The Spurs are just piss-poor. No matter which star wants to change teams, they will try to do it. This time, they really succeeded. The key is that they can really eat it!

Popovich has always liked Richard Jefferson, and replaced Battier and backup pitchers with a physical small forward who averaged 20 points per game and played top-notch defense, making up for the loss of Artest last year.

Very regretful.

However, this transaction made Liu Mang and Coach Kruger pay more attention to the Raptors!

Joe Johnson, Tracy McGrady, and Kwame Brown are the core lineup. The point guards are two white men who are stable and can shoot. Both of them hit more than 40% of their fixed-point three-point shooting percentages. With McGrady as the core organizer, Bray

Grams and Udrih can space the floor very well.

After leaving Liu Mang, there is still contemporary Jordan to share the offensive tasks for Tracy McGrady.

Although Bargnani has no sense of presence, he shoots very well. Except for his running position, he is not much different from Lewis. In the future, he can improve to an average of 20 points per game, and he is still on a rookie contract...

And if Battier is used as a power forward, the Raptors' small lineup is also very powerful. Liu Mang feels that the Raptors may be in more trouble than this past season!

The lineup is more flexible, and the three major stars are at their peak!

There is also a very strange news...

Josh Childress rejected the 4-year, 22 million euro contract extension offered by the 76ers and went to Europe to get a 3-year, 30 million euro contract...

People give up their European salary to pursue their dreams in the NBA. Childress just finished his rookie contract and went to Europe to make money.

The big trades were the ones between the Spurs and the Raptors, and there were many small trades and free agent changes, but except for Childress's weird behavior, the rest couldn't catch the eye of the Hawks.

While other teams are taking action, coaches Liu Mang and Kruger are focusing on their own teams.

Liu Mang was a little confused, why has there been no movement from his team?

The Eagles now have 13 players on hand and look pretty good.

The back line is very sufficient, with the four main players Liu Mang, Wade, Jason Terry, Rondo, and two rookies, Dragic and Courtney Lee.

The inside line is okay too, with Marion, Scola, Milicic, Gortat, Gasol and a rookie named DeAndre Jordan.

But there is only one person at the small forward position.

Coach Kruger gave up when Liu Mang raised a question: "Ace, don't worry, something surprising will happen."

surprise?

Liu Mang really didn't know what the team was thinking this time, but seeing Coach Kruger's confident look, Liu Mang could only believe it.

But even if there are surprises at the small forward position, the structure inside is a bit troublesome.

Now that Kwame Brown is gone, Jordan's talent needs to be explored.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of the all-round weakened version of Jordan's talent compared to Kwame Brown, Liu Mang thought he would make do with it.

DeAndre Jordan is the first-defense player with the worst defensive efficiency Liu Mang has ever seen, and the two seasons when DeAndre Jordan entered the first defense were very abrupt. In the seasons before and after those two seasons, DeAndre Jordan was

It has nothing to do with the All-Defensive team, but he just made the first defense.

Liu Mang feels that maybe in seven or eight years, there will really be no truly outstanding defensive players at the center position, and both the best team and the best defensive team have a fixed center position, thus producing the two most talented players in history.

Double first team players Noah and DeAndre Jordan...

…

Coach Kruger had lunch at Liu Mang's house and left.

Liu Mang looked at Coach Kruger leaving with little Jimmy. Today...he really didn't talk about anything. Coach Kruger looked mysterious, and most of what he said was to tell Liu Mang to leave.

Worry.

Liu Mang probably felt the same feeling that the little blacksmith had when he lost his sister-in-law, and he hated it but couldn't hate it. Liu Mang knew that Coach Kruger wouldn't harm him, but that feeling really made his heart itch!

…

…

After a day's rest, Liu Mang continued his second 10-day training plan after returning to the team.

Liu Mang put aside his distracting thoughts about the club and devoted himself to the training of the national team.

For a top professional player, a little change in the body will have a big impact on the game. Maybe because he had rested for half a month before, Liu Mang didn't feel much about the strength of his joints, but

It is precisely because of this that Liu Mang can directly skip the adaptation part. These 10 days are state recovery training. Once the state is restored, he can directly adapt to the little changes.

This is the reason why Liu Mang eats attribute fruits during this time before every national team game.

The eight days of training passed in a flash, and Liu Mang slowly regained the physical feeling he had during the season.

On the 23rd, the second phase of the national team’s training session ended, and on the 24th, something cruel happened.

Some players left the training arena in tears, some players left directly, and some players were confused. At their age, it will be difficult to have the opportunity to enter the national team again in the future...

On this day, eight players left!

Liu Mang didn't have much reaction to this. Tracy McGrady was gone, and several CBA players he wasn't familiar with, even if they were compatriots, didn't have much feeling.

Liu Mang looked at the remaining teammates, including himself, there were 7 outsiders and 5 insideers.

In addition to him on the outside, there are Liu Wei, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Li Nan, Wang Shipeng, and Zhang Qingpeng.

On the inside, there are three American players, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Yi Jianlian, as well as Du Feng, a veteran, and Wang Lei, a short forward who is a newcomer at 2.03 meters.

Looking at the ability evaluations of his teammates after the two rounds of training sessions, Liu Mang was quite satisfied.

Li Nan was once again selected into the national team as a veteran player, and Liu Mang was quite surprised. Not to mention his strength, there is always a sense of security when there is an older generation player.

Anyway, with Liu Mang, Sun Yue, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng and others, Liu Wei and Li Nan will not have much playing time.

“Evaluation of the Chinese men’s national basketball team’s ability in international competitions:

Liu Wei, Ability Evaluation 75(79),

Sun Yue, ability evaluation 80,
