From today on is the king

Chapter 1481 1480. The best players in the United States are dispatched

James went to the hotel with Kobe, Durant, 58 and Duoduo, who were destined to become enemies.

As point guards of the younger generation, Rondo and Paul will inevitably meet each other frequently, especially...the two belong to the same company.

This is not a bad thing for Liu Mang, if anyone can't help but want to change companies, Liu Mang can still earn another person's money...

Mai Di was kept by Liu Mang.

McGrady heard Kobe honking the horn downstairs, and asked, "What's the matter, Ace, I also just came back from China the day before yesterday, don't I have to train tomorrow, I'm sleepy, I want to sleep first, is there anything?"

"Uh...it's nothing, be careful not to catch a cold, it's windy in Miami at night." Liu Mang didn't say much, just nonsense.

"Oh...thank you, you are still so careful." Maddy turned and waved away after speaking.

Liu Mang looked at the back of McGrady leaving, and felt that McGrady seemed to be looking forward to training and wanted to take a good rest to prepare for tomorrow's training, which was a bit strange.

Originally, Liu Mang planned to have a good talk with McGrady about fighting spirit.

I didn't talk about it last year because Liu Mang is also a professional player. He knows that some things are related to his personality.

Isn't it said that men will always like 18-year-old girls... No, men will never grow up. Men's rebellious psychology will still exist when they are 80 years old.

But I didn't expect McGrady to have a lot of fighting spirit before talking about anything.

……

McGrady, who was walking down the stairs, couldn't help but smile.

How could he not be able to guess what Liu Mang wanted to say, but Liu Mang didn't continue, Mai Di felt that Liu Mang should understand.

……

……

On August 2007, 8, the training of Liu Mang, Kobe and others began.

Liu Mang mainly uses one-to-one application of basic facial skills and three-threat stance.

Rondo is mainly responsible for defending Liu Mang and practicing free throws.

Chip Englander, who flew from Atlanta on the 1st to help Liu Mang and others train, doesn't expect anything else from Rondo. As long as Rondo can improve his free throws to an average level, his strength will definitely improve a lot.

The point guard was hacked. It's really hard to find other teams except the Eagles.

Tracy McGrady and James are practicing against each other, and Kobe is practicing shooting with his eyes closed like a crazy person...

Paul is training with Durant. Durant did not play in the summer league, but he felt a stronger NBA atmosphere in the American training team. The worst players there are Rondo, so Durant has a good understanding of the gap between himself and the NBA superstars.

After Liu Mang and others started training, a few days later, on August 2007, 8, the American Basketball Association announced the list of superstars who will represent the US team in the BJ Olympics next year after this year's training camp.

On the basis of this topic, the NBA official website specially gave a topic.

"American Basketball Dream"

Referred to as the American Dream, the American Basketball Association announced that Kobe, Kidd, Tracy McGrady, and Carter are determined to follow the US team to participate in the 2008 BJ Olympics without injuries.

Jane Wayne, Kwame Brown, Boozer, Howard, Iguodala, Josh Smith, Paul, Reid, etc. of the 03 generation all agreed to join the training team before the 2008 Olympic Games during the Pan American Basketball Championship.

This time... the US team blocked their dignity!
In the 06 World Championships, after the Chinese team won the championship, Kobe, McGrady, Carter, and Kidd announced that they would definitely participate in the 2008 BJ Olympics. This time they fulfilled their promise and joined the candidate list.

With the help of Colangelo, the chairman of the American Basketball Association, and the help of David Stern, it was the first time in more than ten years that NBA superstars joined the national team so enthusiastically.

Of course, the point is that the United States has failed to make it to the finals in three consecutive World Series.

Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant, the No. 24 players in the NBA, represent the superstars of China and the United States. Basketball fans' expectations for this Olympic Games have skyrocketed.

After the NBA and the American Basketball Association announced the first version of the 2008 BJ Olympic Team USA training team, this already hot summer became even hotter.

Time Magazine also joined in the fun and gave a headline title-"America's Best Players Out": The two best basketball players in the world will face off in the biggest Olympic Games in history!

……

"The Americans always say when they lose: We haven't sent our best player. Now, the best player in America has come out."

Liu Mang shook the Times Weekly International magazine in his hand, and said to McGrady and James who were dancing: "Hey, LeBron, Tracy, look, are you talking about that guy? The best player in the United States is dispatched? Doesn't it mean that you are not as good as him?"

Kobe was sitting on an armchair next to a table across from Liu Mang drinking a cocktail, almost choked to death.

"Won't you turn your back on sowing dissension?" Kobe really wanted to strangle this bastard to death.

James came over and looked at the passage Liu Mang just read, and it was really written like that!
Silently handing the magazine back to Liu Mang, James continued to think about the dance steps.

Then McGrady came over and took a look at the magazine, didn't say a word, and put it back in Liu Mang's hands, McGrady was so speechless... "Even angry with my teammates? Are you going to do anything to win the national team?"

"You didn't get stimulated?" Liu Mang was so sad, he thought he could start provoking the conflict between the three main players of the US team early.

Rondo, who was sitting next to Liu Mang, watched Liu Mang doing all these things, and felt that his life was miserable. His boss's urination has not changed since he was 25 years old...

Paul and Durant on the other table didn't know what to say. Liu Mang and Kobe, recognized rivals in the NBA world, from the 1999-2000 season to the present, in the past eight seasons, except for the Spurs who won a championship, these two have won all other championships.

In the past four years, the two have won and lost each other. Liu Mang has three championships, Kobe has one championship, and they have played against each other three times in the finals.

But these two people can still sit by the sea and drink cocktails to watch McGrady and James dance together, and they can still train together...

But the two of them acted like they wanted to piss each other off...

But Liu Mang's girlfriends... and Kobe's wife Vanessa seem to have a good relationship. On the first rest day after they started training, Kobe, McGrady, and James' wife all came to Miami and organized a group to go shopping.

This makes Paul and Durant, the newly talented duo, very puzzled...

It was also the first time for Paul to participate in the training of Liu Mang, Kobe and others. It was the first time he felt this strange atmosphere. He couldn't understand it just like Durant...

"How did these two guys become the top two in the world and win so many championships? Are the champions such weird things? Wait!"

The two suddenly realized that O'Neill and Duncan were not "normal humans" either!
Moreover, these four people won all the championships after Jordan retired!
……

Every two days of training, one day off, this is Chip Englander and Mark Madsen's training schedule for Liu Mang and others.

Except for the training of basic basketball skills, other trainings are arranged by the two trainers of the Eagles.

Even Kobe and James, the two training madmen, stick to the matter of relaxation and relaxation. They pay great attention to the maintenance of their bodies.

Otherwise, Kobe would not have reached the No. 17 year of his career and still maintain a level for a while, and James would not be called No. 2020 in 1.

Every two days of training, Kobe and James will take a day off with other people. Kobe is more withdrawn, watching game videos or teasing his daughter in the room without training. American women are also tough. Vanessa’s third child has been more than seven months old. She still goes shopping normally like a normal person, leaving her two daughters to Kobe.

James prefers to hang out with a partner who trains with him, and Miami is a good place.

But... besides the necessary time to accompany his family, Liu Mang also practiced for half a day during the rest time... After drinking a little wine, he was the first to go to the training ground the next day...

Kobe, James, and Tracy McGrady are already used to it. Kobe and Liu Mang have spent training time and failed to win, not to mention the other two have long been used to it.

But the three young players in the first, second and third grades next season feel too exaggerated...

……

……

Time passed quickly, and the 20-day training period predicted by Liu Mang and others, that is, the 30-day training together passed quickly.

By August 8th, except for Liu Mang, McGrady, and Rondo, everyone else had to leave.

During this period, Liu Mang's three threats... He practiced very hard, and tried to learn from Kobe.

But after struggling for a long time, on the 26th, a few days before Liu Mang’s birthday, he finally forced Kobe to agree to teach him, and Liu Mang also spent [-] superstar points to learn quickly...

As a result, Liu Mang found that he practiced almost the same as himself!It took only three days to practice the basic three-threat movements that still required time to practice.

The three-threat play pays more attention to actual combat experience. Kobe, Anthony, Pierce and other three-threat play masters have used this move as a common offensive method since high school or even junior high school.

McGrady only learned it in the NBA, and the effect of using it is similar to these three, but McGrady can't say how he is so proficient in practice.

Rondo's defense is very good, McGrady's defense is not bad, and I occasionally ask Kobe to practice... But in the head-to-head training, Liu Mang's three threats are very average.

You can only slowly polish your experience by facing various opponents in real games.

Liu Mang was dissatisfied with his progress, and everyone else was about to collapse!
Mainly Kobe, he saw with his own eyes that Liu Mang’s skills in this area before learning from him were very jerky except for his fast shooting speed, but after practicing for three days... Regardless of the hit rate and temporary reaction, the movements of the three-threat stance and the adjustments to respond to changes when there is time, Liu Mang’s movements are similar to Kobe himself...

On the evening of the 30th, as in the past for many years, a house party was held at the end of training, and this time it was the turn of Liu Mang's family to be the host.

Kobe, who was a little drunk, walked back to the hotel not far away, looked up at the astonished eyes of James, McGrady, and three young players in the first, second and third grades: "I, Kobe Bryant, even if I am annoyed to death by that bastard Ace, even if I jump into the sea and drown, I will never train with him again!"
