From today on is the king

Chapter 1008 1007. Incomparable
"Ace, is there no alcohol in your house?" Iverson asked.

Watching the game between the Lakers and the Heat on TV, Liu Mang said strangely: "Yes, do you want a drink? There is still a game tomorrow!"

"What does that matter?" Iverson replied indifferently, and then said in a low voice, "I found a great store yesterday, Ace, do you want to go together?"

"...I want to hug my daughter to sleep at night, no," Liu Mang refused flatly, and someone was walking back and forth, pretending to be looking for something.

"You paranoid people are really boring. I don't know how Tracy has such a good relationship with people like you. By the way, what about the wine? Is there any whiskey?" Iverson continued to ask for wine after contemptuously.

"Yes, Levia, help Alan get a bottle of whiskey." Liu Mang said to Levia behind.

"Okay, Ace, you can't drink." Levia gave Liu Mang a lot of face when outsiders were around, but she still ordered.

"Yes yes yes, I know."

Upon hearing this, Levia was satisfied and went to the warehouse on the second floor to get a bottle of whiskey and a whiskey glass, and brought soda and water glasses for Liu Mang along the way.

Alcohol can't be drunk, soda can still be indulged, at least it will be bubbling.

"Then I drank it myself. Is there anything to drink?" Iverson really didn't regard himself as an outsider.

"Wait, Aaron, I'll get it right away." Levia went to take out the snacks that Liu Mang's father usually used for occasional drinks.

Liu Mang watched as Iverson ate snacks and drank like that. He felt that it was a waste of talent, and this was one of them!

However, this is often the case with talented people. Those who are talented, self-disciplined, and grass-tolerant are all superstars of the era. Jordan, Kobe, and future James are all like this.

Iverson is as talented as Kobe Bryant, and is resistant to grass. Now 30 years old, Liu Mang looked at Iverson's ability evaluation, and it was as high as 96. With some changes in the rules, Iverson actually played the best efficiency of his career last season, but the team's record is so-so, and the role players are much worse than when Larry Brown was back then.

But in terms of self-discipline, even if Iverson changed his style of play on the court, it would still be the same off the court.

What to drink, what to eat, what to play when to play, there are a lot of brothers, and there is no self-discipline at all.

But just like that, the 30-year-old Iverson is still a superstar, and Liu Mang remembers that in the original time and space, Iverson was given up by the Nuggets after 08, and was squeezed out by the Pistons before falling from the peak.

The ability to overwhelm Raheem, Marbury, Camby and others to become the champion of the 96 golden generation, this talent is really nothing to say.

Iverson's talent, except for his height, is definitely the top of the top. Even if the talent is a little short, even if he has super-top talent, with Iverson's training attitude and attitude towards life, he has already collapsed. The big dog who is also the No. [-] pick is far worse than Iverson's talent.

But Iverson is talented and can be willful.

The day before the game against the Hawks, Iverson bought some gifts for Liu Mang's parents and newborn child on the day when the Lakers challenged the Heat in the first game of the NBA regular season in 2005-2006.

Iverson is too human. From a non-basketball perspective, Liu Mang likes friends like Iverson very much, but as a basketball player, I really think Iverson is too undisciplined.

But he is 30 years old, and he changed his style of play. He has reached the limit, and Liu Wei didn't persuade him. After all, he is a player of the younger generation.

Liu Mang and Iverson chatted about some gossip while watching the game between the Lakers and the Heat.

The league also paid enough attention to this game. On the 27th, only this game was arranged.

The game was good to watch. The Lakers were at a disadvantage. It was probably the grief and indignation after being reversed by the Eagles in the last game of the preseason. The Heat played more vigorously than the Lakers.

The duel between Yao Ming and O'Neal was evenly matched. There was a little blacksmith who could best pass the ball to the center. Yao Ming fought against O'Neal, who was the tail of the peak and played very hard. He scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks in the game, and blocked O'Neal twice.

O'Neal scored 22 points, 19 rebounds and 2 blocks, giving the little blacksmith a big cap.

In fact, Wade did not have an advantage in the matchup with Kobe, and was suppressed by Kobe. Kobe, who entered the real peak period, even when Wade was at his peak, could at most compete with Kobe who was also at the peak. Wade scored 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

But the Heat took the lead at an unexpected point, and the point guard position was completely blown out. Whether it was Jason Williams or Payton, they all blown up the former Pistons point guard Smash Parker signed by the Lakers.

The Lakers pursued a point guard in the summer and failed to catch up. There were too few free agent point guards in the past offseason. Payton was unwilling to go back and partner with Kobe again. Jason Williams was also interested in the Lakers, but the Lakers had doubts about this point guard who was once famous for his waves in the West. At this time, the Heat gave him a big contract. Jason Williams went to Miami without hesitation.

Parker became a free agent, but the Spurs wanted to keep him with an annual salary of tens of millions. Most free agent point guards, including Liu Mang and Kidd, signed new contracts in the two summers of 03 and 04. The Lakers missed Jason Williams, and now they are overwhelmed by Jason Williams.

靠着贾森-威廉姆斯命中3个三分一共拿到14分10助攻的表现，热火队以103比98力克湖人队。

Relying on the protection of point guards and rebounds, the Heat got off to a good start.

The game was very good. After Liu Mang and Iverson watched the game, Liu Mang called the car rental company in the villa area. Iverson made fun of Liu Mang and went to the nightclub by car.

……

……

"Boss Ace, you are here. This is a gift I bought for your son and daughter." Iguodala saw Liu Mang coming to the dressing room, and took the gift box out of the closet to Liu Mang.

"Oh, thank you." Liu Mang did not refuse, but accepted it.

Iguodala took the lead, and the other Eagles teammates who hadn't visited Liu Mang's house took out their gifts.

Liu Mang never took the child out of the house, the doctor always came to check at home, except Maddie, Rasheed Wallace, and Jason Terry, the three brothers who often visited Liu Mang's house, the others hadn't been to Liu Mang's house in the past few days. They chose gifts for a few days, and today they all came together to give gifts to Liu Mang.

The ratings of the opening game between the Lakers and the Heat really hit the charts. The opening game between the Lakers and the Heat last season has set a record in NBA history. This year, the record was set again, which brought a good start to the new NBA season.

The season has officially kicked off, and the Eagles' regular season will also start on October 10th.

Chatting with Iverson for two or three hours last night, Liu Mang took a shower after watching the game and went to bed early. He got up early in the morning and ran with Dinah, who was used to getting up early and gradually developed from a little loli to a loli girl. After eating the breakfast made by Liu Mang's mother, he sent the little loli to school, and then went to the arena to prepare for the evening game.

Liu Mang's mother deliberately learned how to cook low-fat healthy food that professional athletes eat. She was very caring.

When Liu Mang arrived at the arena at [-] o'clock, many teammates had already arrived. Under the leadership of Iguodala, they gave gifts one after another. Even David Lee and Granger, two rookies who had not received their first salaries, borrowed money to buy gifts. Liu Mang was still a little moved.

In the new season, everyone is very motivated and looking forward to the new season, especially the young players.

The tactical training for the 76ers in the past two days has been fully prepared, and we are just waiting for the game tonight.

Liu Mang and Iguodala moved the dozen or so gifts they had received to the car, and just returned to the training ground, ready to warm up and start training, when Stockton called Liu Mang away.

"John, what's the matter?" Liu Mang followed Stockton to the boss's office, and asked strangely, the team should be fine, the lineup is neat, and most of the tactics of last season are maintained, and there are no injuries or conflicts.

"It's a good thing, you'll know it when you read it." Stockton let it go, showing a rather strange and mysterious smile.

Confused, Liu Mang followed Stockton to the boss's office, where Price and Coach Kruger were chatting with league officials.

When Liu Mang entered the boss's office, he saw the championship flag on the desk at first sight.

"Ace, you are here, look, what is this!" Price came up and patted Liu Mang on the shoulder.

This... when tonight's game started, there was a ceremony of raising the champion's flag. It's a good thing, but it's not the first time, but is there anything special worth calling him here?I didn't call him last year!

Seeing Liu Mang's confusion, Price showed the same smile as Stockton: "Ace, you'll know when you go over and have a look."

Liu Mang was still very confused. When he walked to the desk, it was no different from last year's championship banner, except that the year changed from 2003-2004 to 2004-2005. Most of the names of the players on it changed. Many old teammates from the first championship were gone, and some new teammates from last season were added.

Liu Mang picked up the championship flag, wanting to see the difference, just as he raised the flag, he suddenly saw something, opened it, and was stunned...

……

……

In the 2005-2006 season, the opening game of the Eagles.

Even for the Lakers, for the Christmas game in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States and the largest entertainment city in the world, the opening game is an away game, but the Eagles, no matter how any other game is arranged, the opening game must be at home, because they are the defending champions!To raise the championship banner on the first day of the team's new season.

For this game, in the United States, ESPN, TNT, Time Warner, CNN, and ABC TV, the five largest sports TV stations in North America, all broadcast the game live.

In China, Imperial TV will naturally broadcast the opening game of the Lakers and Eagles. The Lakers finished yesterday, and the Eagles will continue today.

Compared to the Lakers, the Eagles received more attention. From two hours before the start of the game, they were reviewing the performance of the Eagles in the past two seasons. Of course, it was Liu Mang's performance.

Liu Mang has already laid the foundation of the dynasty, and the next season will have the opportunity to establish a dynasty. The opening game is the ceremony of raising the championship flag. Naturally, the country needs to publicize it well.

The Eagles and 76ers are considered friendly teams. There were not many boos when players from the visiting team played, especially when Iverson played, there were some cheers.

Well, Iverson, the most representative figure of African-American athletes, even the NFL superstar, is not as popular as Iverson.

When it came time for the Eagles to play, the Eagles players could clearly feel that Liu Mang was getting more and more excited.

Since the morning, Liu Mang has been extremely excited, and his teammates can see it.

Although I don't know what's going on, but if the boss is excited, let's get excited. This boss is always like this, always unexpected.

"Ladies, gentlemen, and children, our dynasty is just around the corner!" After the players of the two teams played, the on-site DJ who came to the stadium acted as the host, and shouted out the goals of the Eagles for the new season.

Build a dynasty!

The fans at the scene were immediately mobilized, and the audience was full of cheers.

Boss Price came out immediately and took the microphone: "Thank you fans for your continued support. In the new season, we will definitely play better games. Our goal is still the championship!"

The fans cheered, of course for the players, but Price enjoyed the feeling of being watched by thousands of people. Being the owner of a championship team is so cool. Although he has to pay tens of thousands of dollars in luxury taxes this year, he is not Alexander.

On the big screen, I reviewed the players of the Eagles last season. Price introduced one by one and thanked the players who helped the team win the championship last year. He especially thanked Muhammad who was traded for his contributions in the past four years. He wished Muhammad a better performance in the Spurs.

After thanking last season's players one by one, Price introduced this year's new lineup. When the last one was introduced to Liu Mang, the fans found that Liu Mang was very excited, a little too excited.

The commentators on the court platform were all joking. Director Zhang smiled and said, "Ace still maintains this enthusiasm. It seems that the Eagles have a great chance of winning the championship again this year! The boss is not slack."

Next was the championship ring distribution. Retired veterans McCarty and Persson also came to the scene.

It was supposed to be Liu Wei who put the rings on his teammates, but Liu Wei pushed McGrady, McGrady froze for a moment, nodded, and went to replace Liu Wei to complete the work. After receiving the rings from Price, he put them on his teammates one by one.

The new teammate, Horry is not counted, this guy's ring can already be worn on one hand, Barry and the two rookies are very envious.

When putting the ring on Liu Mang at the end, McGrady asked strangely: "Ace, what's wrong? Something is wrong with you today."

"It's a good thing, you'll know in a while." Liu Mang was so excited that he wanted to lift that thing into the air immediately.

After the ring was awarded, under the guidance of the reporter, the players who had won the championship ring lined up and took group and personal photos together.

This year’s rings are somewhat different from last season’s. They don’t have the special design of last year. They are more concise. Instead of engraving every player’s name on it like last year, only the player’s own name is engraved on it, but the diamonds are bigger and more valuable. The league subsidizes each ring, but Price pays for each ring up to a cost price of up to 20 dollars.

After the photo was taken, the staff took the ring back and returned it to the players after the game. Wearing this thing during the game is a weapon of mass destruction...

Seeing these scenes for two consecutive years, Malone on the sidelines felt that the season was over, so it was fine to resign, and it would be good to go to boxing.

Ma Long didn't want to come today, but as a trainer, he also has a ring, so he still came.

The 76ers players on the bench on the other side could only sit and watch each other handing out rings. The two big stars, Iverson and Webber, said it was impossible not to be envious.

But Webber, seeing the picture of Mourning constantly kissing the championship ring, is really jealous!

The two of them entered the NBA a year apart. Although Webber still has the strength to be a starter or even perform as a star, he has never had as much honor as Mourning. Now Mourning has won the championship first, and the opponent may...continue to win the championship.

After the ceremony of awarding the championship, it was time for the ceremony of raising the championship flag, which was also the last activity before the start of the competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next, we will raise the third championship banner in our team history, but this year's championship banner has a very special design. Ace brought something special to the championship banner. It is given to the Chinese fans who have always supported us..." Price said what the official told him to say.

Thanks for the design of Chinese fans?People watched curiously as the staff hung the steel rope on the championship banner.

When the championship flag was raised, the fans on one side didn't see anything, but the fans on the other side exclaimed!Some Chinese fans who came to watch the game screamed!

When the flag spun in the air in a specially designed circle, the audience all exclaimed.

There is no front and back of the championship flag this time, both sides are front, one is English and the other is Chinese!

At the time of the first championship, the league did not expect this, but now Liu Wei has laid the foundation of the dynasty. If the Eagles continue to win the championship in the new season, Liu Wei will undoubtedly still be the MVP. There is no suspense about this.

Whether it's income, attention, record, strength, etc., it's all because of Liu Mang that the Eagles have the opportunity to lay the foundation of the dynasty.

If Liu Mang establishes a dynasty, most fans will think it is a Chinese dynasty. David Stern wants to take this opportunity to completely open up the Chinese market!

Liu Mang knew about this a long time ago, but when he saw it, his eyes were still rosy, this was the first time! For the first time in NBA history!Chinese appears on the championship banner!

The commentator on the court platform was guessing what was different about this year's championship banner. When the screen switched to the Chinese side of the championship banner, Yu Jia, Director Zhang Weiping, and Director Su Qunsu all stood up in surprise, and were all stunned!

"This design, this... oh... Ace is really, the NBA this time..." Director Zhang, the former No.1 in Chinese basketball and the former No.1 in Asia, was incoherent. He talked for a long time without saying a word.

It’s incredible!
Domestic basketball players and fans still underestimated Liu Mang's influence on world basketball.

Just like some domestic fans inexplicably questioned the strength of Yao Ming, the strongest center in Asian history, now Liu Mang's black fans in China still account for half of the country.

Although because of Liu Mang's appearance of a championship banner half in Chinese, what should be blacked out on him will still be blackened.

However, this made most domestic fans who really love basketball, as well as domestic basketball players, almost cry with excitement, and there are really many fans who cry!
Chinese basketball fans are also boiling at this moment!Chinese people don't only play small ball sports!
