Chapter 1265 Superstar No. 1264.24 Joins the Lakers and Eagles (710 Guaranteed Monthly Pass)
David Stern looks at the two applications for changing jersey numbers in front of him.

As long as the number has no hidden meaning and the jersey is not retired by the original team, it is fine to change the number of the jersey. As long as the application is submitted within the specified time, it can be approved.

Even if it is a retired jersey, as long as the team pays a fine to cancel the retirement, it can be exchanged for it, just like Jordan's jersey was retired after his first retirement and he wanted to wear it when he came back.

but……

David Stern looked at the two number change applications in front of him, why did they come together?
Discussed?
Not right!Based on David Stern's understanding of these two people, it is impossible for them to do this kind of "couple number" business.

"No. 24...Michael's number is 23. Are these two people so ambitious?"

David Stern felt that they just bumped into each other, and the two just wanted to change this jersey number with a very special meaning.

The trading market has been hot for more than a month this summer, and David Stern is so happy that the trading market is wild, so there will be more highlights next season, especially in the Chinese market, where basketball news has long dominated the headlines of sports news.

Now seeing that the jersey number change application from the Eagles and the Lakers was received on the same day, and it was those two guys, David Stern feels that there will be a topic that can continue to be hyped for next season...even for many seasons to come!

There was no reason not to pass the application. David Stern signed and stamped the two application forms and handed them over to the secretary, who asked the secretary to notify the relevant departments. From the rule point of view, the two people who applied for the number change now have the jersey number 24.

……

At nine o'clock in the morning on July 2006, 7, the Eagles held a press conference and announced that they would wear the No. 27 jersey to play in the NBA next season.

This news... The media don't know how to describe it. They say it's breaking news, but it's not considered small news, but it must be a big event.

It mainly depends on the reason for changing the jersey!Anyway, it must be the headline, I need to find a headline!

And the number 24 is very sensitive. If it is an ordinary player wearing the number 24, no one will say anything, but if it is a superstar and the most powerful contender for No. 1 in the league, it will be different.

"Ace, is there any special reason for you to change the No. 24 jersey? Or is it because you like this number?" Although the reporter gave Liu Mang a retreat, this is a local reporter, but he hoped that Liu Mang would tell some reasons, so that it would become a breaking news.

Liu Mang considers himself an upright person, so of course he has to tell the truth!
Liu Mang had already prepared the answer and replied: "I think I am probably the strongest No. 1 player in NBA history. We must give young players in the future a chance to challenge what I achieved by wearing the No. 1 jersey. I am not Michael. All the honors were obtained by wearing the No. 23 jersey. It is difficult for people to surpass.

Originally, my first choice was to change to the No. 23 jersey. I like to challenge the highest difficulty, but our team’s No. 23 jersey has been retired by the predecessor Hudson, so I will choose the No. 24 jersey, which is one size larger than the No. 23. "

Coach Kruger, who had just handed the No. 24 jersey to Liu Mang, rolled his eyes and looked at the ceiling, knowing it was so!But now Liu Mang is really qualified to challenge, unlike O'Neill who won the first three consecutive championships at 30 years old, and the decline can be seen with the naked eye... It's not that O'Neal is not good at the back, but how invincible he is after the three consecutive championships, it seems how "weak" he is behind.

The reporters were taken aback, but... they felt so used to it. When Liu Mang was doing business, they also had reporters running around the world with Liu Mang, but at that time Liu Mang was joking about everything and refused to answer directly. Now Liu Mang is the Liu Mang they are familiar with.

It's starting to do things again!
He bluntly said that he changed his jersey because he wanted to challenge Jordan!

It's not surpassing. The words Liu Mang uses are challenges. Just like Coach Kruger thinks, three consecutive championships and three consecutive FMVPs are just qualified to challenge Jordan.

Liu Mang's interviews are fast, and he is never afraid of causing trouble.

……

At the same time, the Lakers in Los Angeles also held a press conference. Kobe Bryant announced that he will change to the No. 24 jersey starting next season.

Since it was carried out at the same time, the reporters here, like the reporters there, did not know that the same thing happened on the other side.

But... the protagonist's answer is completely different.

When asked why he changed his No. 24 jersey, Kobe replied: "I have played in the NBA for ten years. If I retire at the age of 37, I have played for 20 years. Now I want to turn over the past chapter, use a new vision, be a more mature player, and change to a new jersey to welcome the end of my career. The No. 24 jersey is my high school jersey. I will use this. Love the implication."

Kobe is much more reserved than Liu Mang.

……

When the reporters at the press conferences on both sides were interviewing, they all told the company’s editor-in-chief to leave a headline position. Even if a superstar of this level changes his jersey on a whim, he still has to leave a headline. Even if they don’t say anything breaking news, they can guess!
However, most of the reporters on both sides are from the same newspaper, the same TV station, or the same website. After the interview, when they checked the manuscripts, they discovered that both sides actually changed their jerseys, and...they both had the number 24!
Who should this headline be for?

The sports media all over the world are in a mess...how did they crash after changing the jersey?

It's okay to change the jersey and crash the car, but also hit the number?

They went to check the information update on the official NBA website, and found that both Liu Mang's and Kobe's jersey numbers had changed on the NBA's official website. Both No. 1 and No. 8 had become former jerseys, and the latest information was No. 24!
This is not over yet, the update time of the jerseys of the two is actually the same!Only less than 1 minute away, that is, the jersey number that was revised together!

……

……

"No. 24 superstar joins Lakers and Hawks"

ESPN gave a spoof headline.

Liu Mang and Kobe changed their jerseys at the same time, and both were number 24, with screenshots from the official NBA website attached, causing a sensation in the basketball world!

Boss Joe said in an interview: "I am very happy to have someone challenge me. It would be even better if the students I taught myself. I look forward to one day that Ace can win as many championships and MVPs as me or even more than me..."

Eagles star Lou Hudson said in an interview: "Oh, Ace, why didn't you tell me that you think so? If I knew it, I would immediately put my jersey down from the arena and give it to you. It is my honor to wear the same jersey with the best players in the world on the same team."

Liu Mang's outspokenness made the celebrities think it was pretty good, while Boss Qiao repeatedly emphasized that he has many MVPs and FMVPs.

Originally, what Liu Mang said would not make the celebrities praise so much, but he didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence. He originally wanted to block the way for the small blacksmith in Los Angeles to change his No. 24 jersey. Who knew that Kobe changed his jersey on the same day!

What a coincidence!
And it is precisely because of Liu Mang's directness and Kobe's restrained and reserved performance that the two people's opinions at this moment are extremely opposite.

Kobe saw that Liu Mang also changed his No. 24 jersey, and that was fine. Thinking of Liu Mang actually changing "couple jerseys", Kobe felt a little bit off, but this is not particularly important. Who made him unlucky? The beginning of Liu Mang's desire to surpass Jordan was actually changing jerseys, still the same number.

but!I thought in my heart that I want to surpass Jordan, but I still have to say it?
Kobe was so angry that he almost vomited blood!

How hypocritical does this appear to be him?
……

On July 7th, when Kobe wanted to come to Atlanta with a knife to find Liu Mang, Liu Mang had already returned to China with a large group of family members, bodyguards and servants, and was about to return to the national team!
Thinking of this year's World Championships, Liu Mang felt more and more excited. The free market encountered obstacles this year and barely met expectations. At the beginning, he thought that it would not go well, but he still wanted to find a place to vent!
The game is the best place to vent these emotions.

"Little Japan, wait for your Great Sage Grandpa... Ah bah, wait for your grandpa Liu's blessing!"
