From today on is the king

Chapter 1482 1481. Jordan's successor is about to embrace his thigh again

This summer, Liu Mang's life tends to be dull.

If you don't win the championship, even if you are the loser MVP, you are still the loser.

The Lakers were ridiculed for winning the championship and did not have an MVP, but they are still champions.

Bryant, who returned to Los Angeles after a month of practice, was in the news just as he walked out of the airport.

Liu Mang's side is much deserted. Of course, compared to 90.00% of the league's stars, Liu Mang has more attention and more news, but compared to previous years, it is much worse.

Last year, when he went out to buy a pacifier for his daughter, he was on the news.

People are like this, they don't care when they have it, and they don't know when they lose it, they just got used to having those things before.

When Liu Mang was training in August, although Coach Kruger and Price did not bother Liu Mang, they were not idle either.

On September 9rd, Liu Mang returned to Atlanta to rest for two or three days. Good news came from Coach Kruger!

After thousands of choices, the Eagles signed Michael Finley, one of the first generation of Jordan's successors who joined the Spurs for two years after being amnesty by the Mavericks in 2005!

In the past two years, Finley played as a fake starter or seventh man for the Spurs. After two years, he averaged 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in 1.6 minutes per game.

But after two years, the 34-year-old Finley failed to touch the championship with the Spurs. After being eliminated by the Suns in the first round of last season, Finley did not choose to renew his contract with the Spurs.
But there is also a piece of news that is neither good nor bad...

After more than two months of negotiations, Price still failed to sign Ron Artest with the injury exception he got from Wade.

Artest, who will only be 28 years old at the end of this year, will not be satisfied with playing time like Battier or Grant Hill. This is the key to disagreement.

Liu Mang didn't forcefully talk to Artest at this time, the management was fine, Liu Mang was obviously offending people by offering Artest such a team position.

Unlike offending people on the field, this way of offending people is really offending to death.

Of course, the Eagles management will fight for it. The only advantage is that the salary is higher. The short contract of 800 million a year is based on the injury exception obtained from Wade. Originally, the signing of Artest this year was not planned.

The Spurs only offered a slightly higher price to the middle class. Other teams including the Hornets, Heat, and Lakers wanted to sign Artest, but the salary was not higher than the Spurs, and at most they only offered a special case for the middle class.

In the end, the Eagles failed to sign Artest, but at any rate it played a role in raising the price, raising the market price of Artest's original middle class to 800 million, preventing Artest from choosing to stay with the Spurs.

The ultimate winner is the Rockets!The Rockets poached the Spurs' free agent Ron Artest with a three-year, fully guaranteed contract of 3 million!

There is cooperation and competition between the teams. Popovich is not surprised when the Eagles raise prices.

Popovich secretly lamented how dangerous it was to get Battier back. Finley was about to leave after being eliminated in the first round. Artest would not be able to stay in all likelihood. Originally, he wanted to rely on his performance to lure Artest to cut his salary and renew his contract. Not to mention the poor performance in the playoffs, he also had a bad relationship with Artest because he suppressed Artest's offensive performance in the regular season.

The Rockets can give more playing time, and also gave a three-year fully guaranteed contract. Although Artest and Liu Mang have a personal relationship, money is still very important.

……

……

"Competence Evaluation 98;

Right hand: 98 three-pointers, 94 mid-range shots, 95 layups;

Left hand: 89 three-pointers, 84 mid-range shots, 94 layups;

Speed ​​94, Strength 90, Bounce 97..."

Looking at his summer training results, Liu Mang is still very satisfied.

The three-point evaluation of the left and right hands has improved a little bit, and the right hand is approaching the critical point of the god level. After exceeding the three-point evaluation of 95, the improvement is getting slower and slower. This is what Liu Mang expected. If it can be improved from about 80 to 96 in five years like before, then it will be hell.

The left hand has also reached the critical point close to the top, Liu Mang wants to participate in the three-point contest again...

His left-handed layup has also reached a super-top level, that is, it is close to the same level as his right-handed short-range shot. However, in fact, after his left-handed layup evaluation broke through 90, for most opponents inside, there is no difference between Liu Mang's left-handed layup, it's just a matter of habit.

As for CIC... Liu Mang is still stuck at 94. Apart from relying on time accumulation, it is too difficult to make a quick breakthrough. Liu Mang plans to draw more star cards in the season. If he gets Dirk Nowitzki and Alan Houston, he may have a bigger breakthrough.

The different characteristics of the star card and the original star card will affect the direction of Liu Mang's experience and learning; and the direction of use at that time will also affect the learning and absorption.

Just like Liu Mang has used Kobe's star card many times, basically none of them were aimed at Kobe's mid-range shot, most of them were used in technical aspects, so from Kobe's star card, he didn't feel much about the mid-range shot.

After training with the six current superstars and future superstars for a month and returning to Atlanta, Liu Mang has no more intensive training except for basic skills. It is also important to review what he has gained during the training.

For example, let’s study the problems I encountered when training three-threat. At that time, I was training every day, but I didn’t practice the basic three-threat skills well. Although I finally learned the three-threat moves with Kobe, I only learned the movements. In-depth training still needs to be carefully studied.

To do a job is to study it well and do the best you can. This is the biggest gain in learning attitude that Liu Mang has gained in his several years of career.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Mang's ability evaluation has been raised to 98!The peak period is getting closer and closer, and Liu Mang's ability evaluation is getting closer and closer to the peak.

On September 9th, when the coaching staff notified that the training camp would start ten days earlier on September 14st, Liu Mang spent half a month researching, summarizing, and trying individual training. Although he didn't have much improvement in the experience of the three threats, he roughly understood how he would train and improve in the future.

This ability to summarize is also a huge gain from Liu Mang's many years of career, knowing how to improve himself.

Liu Mang is also preparing to participate in the team's training camp. The structure of the team will undergo earth-shaking changes next season. Liu Mang will receive the notice earlier. Tomorrow, on the 15th, he will go to the arena to discuss with the coaching staff about the team system for next season.

"Let's see, 109621574 rogue value, 587856 superstar value, replenish the 55 superstar value left in the reserve potion, the regular season drawing star card experience can be used, the rogue value has increased a little this summer, and you can draw a [-] million advanced lottery..."

Because the things drawn by the rogue value will not have much direct relationship with the basketball ability, and they will not even have a special effect immediately, just like the Iron Mountain Kick, Iron Foot Skill, and Iron Elbow Skill, it will take several years before the effect gradually becomes more and more obvious.

Just like the innate skill of left and right fighting, which tends to kung fu, after a few years, it will also reach the third level, and it has not reached the perfect state where the left and right hands are completely consistent.

In that state, in addition to the ability to develop the left hand, there are also habitual problems, and the brain can ignore the action of switching between left and right hands without thinking.

Of course, Liu Mang's current left-handed ability has made fans feel incredible.

Moreover, Kung Fu practice takes ten years of hard work, and Liu Wei didn't focus on that. Up to now, Iron Mountain Kung Fu is still at level 1, iron foot kung fu is relatively more practically used, and it is only at level two.

Liu Mang's current weight of 92 to 93 kilograms is his best condition. He can bully most of the small men on the outside with his strength. He still has no advantage against muscle monsters like Deron, Baron Davis, Andre Miller, and Fisher.

So Liu Mang didn't use this during training. If he got any kung fu card again, he would be restless and unable to concentrate on training.

"[-] million, what can I get?" Liu Mang was not so excited when he broke [-] million, mainly because there were two rogues whose value exceeded [-] million before, but it was used to choose talents and skills, but he became excited when it was time to draw a lottery.

"Leviia, help me prepare my Dao uniform!" Liu Mang yelled at Levia who was watching a soap opera in the living room, and rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.

Levia, who was in the living room, asked strangely: "Ace, didn't you say that you would go to the arena to discuss with the coach tomorrow after taking a day off? Do you still want to practice? Didn't you lose interest after practicing for a while?"

"It's not practicing... Levia, you just help me get ready..."

Levia heard the response from Liu Mang's room, and reluctantly went to prepare the dao uniform.

When taking the Taoist clothes to the large balcony on the second floor that was occasionally used as a dojo, Levia looked at Guan Erye, who Liu Mang called "the God of Wealth", she wondered, why is a general called the God of Wealth?Especially the upright military general in a story...
