After agreeing, the two of them left the gym after physical therapy.

Liu Mang will not go home for dinner tonight, but will go to have dinner with the producer of ESPN's "Details" program. There are details about the Bulls to be recorded tonight.

By the way, Liu Mang also chatted with the producer about recording the analysis of the Hornets. Originally, Liu Mang did not intend to analyze the Hornets. They did temporarily rank fourth in the Western Conference with Paul this season, but most of them relied on Paul.

With Paul's MVP-level performance, Liu Mang watched Paul's game live and discovered a strange thing.

Paul this season is better than Paul after 2010 in Liu Mang's memory! Even better than the 27-year-old and 28-year-old Paul!

The Hornets are different from the Suns, which already have a well-established system. The Hornets only rely on Paul, and they may be targeted by their opponents after analysis, so it will be difficult for the Hornets to make something famous in the playoffs.

But since Paul had proposed it, Liu Mang had no reason to refuse. Liu Mang didn't know why Paul had such strange thoughts. This was the first time Liu Mang heard such a request.

But Paul said that, and it wasn't an excessive request. They were all in the same company, so it didn't matter if they had a nickname.

Besides, it was Liu Mang who deceived Paul that 58 meant Kidd and Kobe...

The analysis about the Mavericks that was originally scheduled to be recorded the day after the game against the Hornets was canceled by Liu Mang. The Mavericks are now in a half-dead situation relying solely on their stars to support their appearance. Liu Mang really can't find anyone to analyze.

In a place like this, the Mavericks' offense is now a mess, and they are all accustomed to singles.

In the original time and space, they adjusted for three full years after being hacked. From 2008 to 2010, they were easily defeated by their opponents in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years. In recent years, the Hornets, Nuggets, and Spurs have beaten them as if they were playing games.

.

…

Paul returned to the hotel, opened his laptop, and saw the "Snake Science" section on the homepage of ESPN's official website. The analysis of Duncan and the Spurs' system was on the headline of the section. This section was in the upper right corner of the homepage of ESPN's official website, even among the four major players.

Above the league results section!

Being on Liu Mang's show means being on the headlines for at least a week.

Of course Paul wants to be in the headlines, he really wants to be.

I don’t know since when, Liu Mang analyzed it, and it has become the pride of the younger generation of players.

Milicic and James are the only two new-generation players that Liu Mang has analyzed. Both of them have gradually become one of the league's pillar players.

And those analyzed by Liu Mang were almost all superstars of the Pan-96 generation.

Some media even joked that anyone who has not been analyzed by Liu Mang is not considered a superstar.

Paul also wanted to be one of them.

…

…

Prince returned to Phillips Arena and won applause and cheers from the fans.

The relationship between the two teams is very good. When Paul and Prince came to the Phillips Arena, they both received cheers. Paul and Liu Mang have a good relationship. It is well known to the world that the two of them often have tea together and are photographed by reporters.

.

After saying hello, the two teams began to make final preparations before the game.

The Hornets have currently played 18 games, ranking fourth in the Western Conference with a record of 12 wins and 6 losses. They are very strong. Although Liu Mang does not really regard the Hornets as an imaginary enemy, he does not dare to underestimate them.

"Chris Paul, ability evaluation 97, offense 96, defense 91, passing 98, three-pointer 87, mid-range shot 85, layup 96, speed 93, strength 90..."

Liu Mang looked at Paul who was warming up opposite him and felt really strange.

So far this season, Paul is averaging 22 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 turnovers per game. His statistics are so strong.

Moreover, in the two national live broadcasts of the Hornets that Liu Mang watched, Paul's presence was stronger than that of Paul after 2010, when Liu Mang was most impressed!

However, Paul's three-pointers and mid-range shots were not as good as Liu Mang imagined.

"Is it because he is still young and his shooting is not at its strongest? But Paul's ability evaluation is 97, which is as good as Wade in the third grade. He is better than James in the third grade. James only led the team for the first time in the third grade.

Entering the playoffs, there is no such thing as Paul who can compete for the regular season MVP. Wade's third year has nothing to do with the regular season MVP. However, his defense does not seem to be as good as expected, but his offense at the basket is so strong? And Paul does not

Innate skills?”

He is less than 23 years old. He will not turn 23 until May next year, but his ability evaluation is already 97. When he turns 25 after 2010, he will not be as strong as the 22 or 23-year-old. Liu Mang cannot figure out what Paul is doing this season.

What exactly is Paul's performance like? Whether it's the 2007-08 season in his memory or what Liu Mang sees now, Paul is at his peak this season, and his performance is enough to compete for MVP.

"Some stars really don't have talent and skills. Talent and skills are things that are given to me through systematic data analysis based on the characteristics of a superstar that are different from ordinary people. Like Duncan and James, the strength that allows the team to have a guaranteed record; like Kobe Bryant

, Anthony's determined and fearless style of play, like Carter's style of life and death dunks...

If this player is simply strong, might he really have no talent or skills, just like Tracy McGrady..."

After thinking about it for a while, it still felt weird, and Liu Mang was too lazy to think about it: "That's it, look at the other people, Durant, Durant..."

Liu Mang looked at the rookie who was taller than Tracy McGrady and was listening to Prince's instructions.

"Kevin Durant, ability evaluation 77, offense 80, defense 71, three-pointer 75, mid-range shot 70, layup 86, speed 90, strength 78..."

"This guy's defense isn't as good as expected. He's very effective at guarding Kobe because of his wingspan, but he's not as good at guarding other people..."

Liu Mang briefly analyzed Durant. Now Liu Mang also knows that defense is not just a matter of ability evaluation. It is possible that some players are specialized in defeating one type of opponent, such as Kobe, Prince, Marion, and Tracy McGrady.

Gibbon-type players like Durant are particularly effective in his defense; while Wade's impact type, Battier's, and Bowen's type are clingy, and Kobe is just playing around.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, Durant's potential surprised Liu Mang. At the end of the summer training, Durant's ability evaluation was only 73, and he had only played for a month.

, that’s 77!

When Durant was first drafted, his ability evaluation was not particularly outstanding. Instead, it was a normal level among the second picks in the new century. His ability evaluation was only 70. After one summer of training, it rose to 73. But by then

Now the ability evaluation is 77.

This rate of progress is simply astonishing!

Except for Liu Mang's progress, even James, Paul, Wade, Milicic and others can only be said to be on par with Durant.

"You didn't get Peja and Chandler, but you got Durant and Prince..."

Liu Mang thought about the tactics arranged by the coach in the morning, went to the technical table, applied magnesium powder, and opened the star card section.

Durant's star card was not used in last year's finals, and Liu Mang didn't want to use that weird special method of using it, drinking the bath water... It was really a bit too much.

And Liu Mang is confident that even Durant's peak performance in the 13-14 season will not be better than him!

But Liu Mang really wants to experience the Durant star card, and today seems to be a good opportunity.

Since you want to use it, use it from the beginning and leave a deep impression on the little schoolbag!

"System boss, use the Durant star card!"

"Ding... The host uses Kevin Durant's 2013-2014 version of the star card, with an ability rating of 96, 99 offense, 86 defense, 98 three-pointers, 97 mid-range shots, 95 layups, 89 rebounds, 62 passing, and ball control.

79, speed 89, strength 87... Talent skills: Death comes level 5, compatibility is 55%... Matching bonus is in progress..."

"Ding... The host's mid-range shot is temporarily increased to 96, and the host's mid-range shot is temporarily increased to 96, and the host gains temporary talent skills: Death Comes Level 3, and gains temporary characteristics: Rush Level 3... Time limit: 10 minutes of game time."

"Death comes level 3: The calmest killer, which greatly reduces the impact of teammates and opponents on one's own shots. At critical moments, there is a 30% chance of triggering the characteristic: one-hit kill."

"One-hit kill: If the shot is not blocked, the shot will definitely hit."

"Running Level 3: Use your absolute height advantage to greatly reduce the opponent's shooting interference."

Looking at the system prompts, Liu Mang felt that Durant's talents and skills were really special...

"The impact of teammates on one's own shooting? Are you talking about the triple-double king? This is probably a talent skill based on the ability honed by playing with the triple-double king. And these two characteristics are basically related to height.

Relatedly, it turns out that height is the most important thing that cannot be cultivated..."

After applying the magnesium powder, Liu Mang saw the referee signaling for the two teams to come on. Liu Mang grabbed a handful of magnesium powder and threw it into the air, triggering cheers from the crowd, and then walked onto the court with his teammates.

The Hornets naturally considered their strongest lineup to be Paul, Durant, Prince, David West, and Hilton Armstrong.

Paul's ability evaluation is 97, Durant is 77, Prince is 81, West is 87, Armstrong is 72...

There is nothing to say about Paul's MVP-level performance this season. The Hornets have good potential, but the lineup looks really average.

Liu Mang has an impression of the guy named Armstrong. He was the best defensive player in the NCAA Big East Conference in 2006. He averaged 9 points, 6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game in his senior year. He was selected by the Hornets with the 16th overall pick in the first round of 2006. It was very rough.

A physically fit man, Paul averaged 11 points and 7 rebounds per game, and he looked like a first-generation Mamba.

For the Hawks, the lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown appears.

Today's game was not broadcast live across the United States. The battle between the Spurs and the Bulls was also tonight, which attracted a lot of attention. Although the Hornets counterattacked and their opponent was the Hawks, they still did not get the chance to broadcast it.

However, the game was broadcast on the Imperial TV station. At 8 o'clock in the evening, Kwame Brown and Armstrong were ready to jump the ball at the referee's signal.

Kwame Brown was very focused today. Although his opponent was not very strong, his physical fitness was very good. He was a well-known defensive potential stock at the beginning, but he failed to show it.

The referee blows the whistle to start the game and throws the ball into the air.

Kwame Brown worked hard and narrowly beat Armstrong to win the jump ball.

Rondo received the ball and advanced toward the frontcourt. Brother Cannon took a big step inside the top arc and waited for Rondo to advance.

Liu Mang felt a bit unexpected here!

Looking at Prince following McGrady and Paul waiting for Rondo to advance, Liu Mang didn't expect that the Hornets actually arranged Durant to guard him!

Liu Mang reached the 45-foot corner on the left and immediately asked Rondo for the ball.

Liu Mang's singles is the Eagles' first choice in tactics. As long as Liu Mang wants the ball, he must give it to him. This is the clearest point in the Eagles' tactical system, and it overrides everything else.

Paul saw this scene and wanted to switch to Liu Mang. The Hornets' original defensive idea was to use Durant's height to reduce Liu Mang's singles. Durant's height and mobility were quite impressive on the defensive end.

I didn’t expect that Liu Mang would really go solo!

But Rondo has already cut in, so Paul can only follow in. Liu Mang is the former assists leader and is a great passer.

Durant was also frightened when he saw Liu Mang asking for the ball. It was different from what he had promised! He was tall and stood in front of Liu Mang, so Liu Mang wouldn't play in singles easily? They had to play in singles at the beginning of the game!

"Kevin, I'm coming, are you ready?"
