From today on is the king

Chapter 1454. Chapter 1453. It is meaningless to have a baby without playing (seeking a monthly ticket)
"Wow... Ace, every time you come to Los Angeles to play the finals, you live so well?" Levia was surprised by the big hand of the Eagles owner.

Even if Levia started her own company, it would be impossible for her employees to live in such a group of villas during travel or team building.

"The last time we lived in Beverly Hills, the scenery was not as good as here." Liu Mang replied looking at the sea from the balcony on the second floor.

Liu Mang and his teammates came to the villa hotel in Manhattan Beach, Los Angeles after two o'clock in the afternoon. Although he also has a villa in Los Angeles, Liu Mang still lives in the beach villa with his teammates.

It's not easy and it's not a small expense to book a villa hotel in Los Angeles during the finals, or a villa hotel by the sea.

However, Price didn't expect that his team would be able to enter the finals this year. The income from a home finals, and the finals against the Lakers... I don't care about this little money. Price will come as his own players feel comfortable.

"Ace, do you want to go shopping together? I saw an advertisement for a store on the plane. Aida and I are going to buy some clothes." Levia asked.

"No, I want to sleep, I went to bed too late last night."

"Oh... that's it... Then Dinah, Avril, and Bekas will be taken care of by you, Aida, let's go..."

Without giving Liu Mang a chance to react, the two girls left quickly, and soon Liu Mang heard the sound of the rented car's engine starting...

"It's too much!" Liu Mang looked at the young lady who was crawling around on the carpet, and the two little girls who were sleeping soundly hugging on the sofa, it hurt so much.

It's okay that the two lolis are sleeping, but Mrs. Zheng is still awake!
"Why is this brat so full of energy..." Liu Mang came to the side of Bekas, squatted down and touched the little Zhengtai's face, wondering, "Shouldn't children like to sleep?"

As long as Liu Mang doesn't yell at others, no matter what he does, Bekas can't stop laughing, and this time it's the same, grabbing Liu Mang's finger.

Looking around, no one was there, Liu Mang poked his son's face with the other hand, and pushed Bekas on the carpet, Bekas immediately got up laughing and grabbed Liu Mang to poke his hand, Liu Mang poked with his other hand...

Liu Mang feels that his son is also very funny...

If you don't use it for playing when you have a baby, then why do you have a baby!This is Liu Mang's creed.

Liu Mang didn't notice that although there was the sound of the engine starting downstairs, it was only Levia who was driving. Alexia secretly watched Liu Mang through the crack of the door to see if Liu Mang would bully her son and make him cry as soon as she left. Seeing this scene, Alexia smiled and went downstairs to go out with Alexia...

……

When the Eagles came to Los Angeles, the Lakers had already returned to Los Angeles for a day, and the Nuggets also came to Los Angeles early to prepare for the game.

Because the East and West finals are progressing too fast, and the league also expected this, between the fourth and fifth games after the first four games, from the 28th to the 30th, the league gave three days of preparation time. If the finals start too late, the league will have a headache, but if it is too early, it will still be a headache, and the time between the finals and the draft will be too long.

The 5st, the last day of May, is the fifth game between the two teams.

The game day between the Eagles and the Lakers will be June 6 at the earliest, which is great news for the Eagles.

Although the research on the Lakers has never stopped, the drug-addicted duo was the hardest-hit area of ​​Liu Mang's "Details" program. The Eagles coaching staff also conducted targeted tactical research on the Lakers.

But for the tactical training for the Lakers, except for two games in the regular season, there was no training for the other time. It is not as good as the tactical training time for the Pistons.

Too much rest time is not necessarily a good thing, but at this time, it is the best thing.

On the 29th, they had a day off. On the 30th, the Eagles came to the training hall rented by the University of Southern California for training.

Compared with UCLA, USC students are much kinder to Eagles teammates. There is no smell of barbecue steaks outside like when they rented UCLA's training hall last year...

Of course, although USC is the king of American university sports, and has the number of Olympic medals and gold medals ranked first in the United States, and it is still the first, but now USC is not as good as UCLA. Sports scholarships and community support for school sports are not as good as UCLA.

The imaginary opponent of the Eagles training is of course the Lakers. Since reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, the Eagles coaching staff has made tactical assumptions based on the performance of the Lakers in the first two rounds of the playoffs this season, coupled with the already fine analysis.

Now, four games into the Western Conference Finals, the Hawks have more game models to plan their tactics.

The Nuggets are similar to the Eagles in some ways. They both have strong point guards and good shooting strikers. They also have a good outside line. Center Camby is similar to Kwame Brown. The defensive efficiency this season is not the same, but the difference in health and defensive characteristics. Compared with the Nuggets, they have Camby, Nene, Kenyon Martin, and Reggie Evans. , The defense of the inside line is Liu Mang's strong point.

Having something in common, Mike Woodson can use the tactics and style of play that the Nuggets were able to cling to the score and even win a victory in the first three games to formulate tactics for his team.

The Eagles hope that Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals will be finished, so that the time will be just right, and the preparation time will not be too long or too short.

When the Eagles were training on the 30th, the Los Angeles Toyota Center training hall and the UCLA basketball hall, the two teams in the Western Conference Finals were preparing for Game [-].

The Eagles finished training in the morning and let the players rest in the afternoon. Training is very important, and rest is also very important. They have played in the finals for four consecutive years, and their physical fitness is still very worrying.

What the Eagles train is mainly tactical running, as well as defensive position movement, flanking methods, etc...

It's too late for technical things at this time, and it's better to take a rest if you spend that idle time.

……

"Ace, where are we going?" Maddie asked looking at the street scene outside the window.

"UCLA, let's meet Allen." Liu Mang rented a car, and the driver was taking him, McGrady and Rondo to UCLA.

"Oh, I haven't seen Allen for a long time...I'm not that familiar with him." McGrady was straightforward, but he didn't refuse to visit UCLA, perhaps because he wanted to feel the atmosphere of the university. He had already submitted an application to Georgia Tech.

Rondo didn't speak and didn't ask any more questions. He hoped that Liu Mang would ignore his existence and stop buying him some weird clothes or props...

When we arrived outside the UCLA gate, we left the driver's phone number. We have come to UCLA more than once or twice. Liu Mang brought two teammates to a coffee shop in the school, and one of them was already waiting there, serving as a guide today.

"Lianmei, you came so early! Have you had your lunch yet?" Liu Mang greeted the big man in the store who had already got up.

"Just said don't call me Lianmei!" Yi Jianlian said angrily. Fortunately, Liu Mang spoke Chinese. Yi Jianlian breathed a sigh of relief, "I was also training in the morning, and I ate a nutritious meal."

"You are really not participating in the draft this year. I remember that your draft prediction has already reached the lottery zone..." Liu Wei felt quite surprised. This guy's willpower is stronger than Liu Wei imagined.

"I feel that I am still not good enough. I want to have more time to polish my skills. I lost badly against Noah and Horford last time. I need to make more preparations. Besides, our team has a very good guard. He will be a sophomore next season and has more playing time. I want to try to partner with a T1-level point guard in advance." Yi Jianlian explained why he did not participate in the draft in advance of his sophomore year.

"Well, I support you. Don't be influenced by public opinion. Look at those players ten years ago. Many of them entered the NBA after graduating from college." Liu Mang encouraged.

"Well, thank you." Yi Jianlian felt very happy. The domestic news didn't understand why he averaged 13+7 per game as a sophomore and had the possibility of entering the lottery, but he didn't participate in the draft. They were very pessimistic about his choice, thinking that in another year, and one year older, the market for the draft might become worse.

This caused Yi Jianlian a lot of distress, but fortunately, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, both in Los Angeles, often encouraged him.

"By the way, this is our team's best point guard." Liu Mang used English this time. McGrady and Yi Jianlian had known each other for a long time. Although they were not familiar with each other, Rondo might have met Yi Jianlian for the first time.

"Hello, I'm Yi Jianlian, just call me Yi." Yi Jianlian reached out to greet Rondo, who was 30 centimeters shorter than himself.

After two years, I have experienced a more harmonious American life in college. Compared with Yi Jianlian who had been in the NBA for several years, his English has improved greatly, and his personality is much more cheerful than the NBA in the harsh competitive environment.

but……

Yi Jianlian is so enthusiastic, Rondo doesn't buy it...

Rondo just reached out and shook his hand, and said, "Rajon Rondo."

"..." Yi Jianlian was so embarrassed...

"Yi, don't worry, this guy's personality is just like this." Mai Di was speechless, this kid's personality is really unpleasant.

"It's okay..." Yi Jianlian didn't take it to heart either.

At this time Rondo spoke, but not to Yi Jianlian, but to Liu Mang: "Boss, you are the best point guard in the world."

Rondo is really scared!Although he still had the expression of a dead fish face, he was really worried that Liu Mang would find an excuse to tease him.

"No, no, no," Liu Mang immediately rejected the idea of ​​the best point guard: "I'm not the best point guard in the world, I'm just the best player in the world. The position of point guard can't fully summarize my greatness."

"..."

……

They said they came to see Iverson, but they just said hello, hugged, and took a photo together. The Nuggets invited the three Eagles and Yi Jianlian to leave. After training in the morning, they had to conduct video research and tactical discussions in the afternoon, so they had no time to talk to Liu Mang.

For the Nuggets, if they lose, they have to go fishing. They are much more nervous than the Lakers.

On May 5, Liu Mang and his teammates had a tactical training in the morning. In the afternoon, Liu Mang made an appointment with Yi Jianlian, and several teammates came to the Staples Center after dinner.

Tonight, the opponent in the finals will probably come out.
