From today on is the king

Chapter 796 795. I feel out of place because of my small hands
Ma Long looked enviously at Stockton and Ostertag who temporarily put on their jerseys to receive the championship ring, Magic players Raheem, Liu Mang, Jason Terry and coach Kruger went to give Raheem the championship ring together.

McGrady and the five new rookies are all sitting on the bench, envious of the teammates who won the championship last season.

The Magic team, seeing this scene, was also very envious, especially an older generation of Jordan's successor who had finally miraculously recovered after being reimbursed for four consecutive years.

For the game against the Magic, an hour and a half before the start of the game, various activities have already begun on the stadium side, such as season ticket draws, merchandise gifts for the Hawks in the Rogue League, chances for stars to take photos and sign...

At six o'clock, an hour before the start of the game, the championship rings began to be awarded.

Liu Mang was the first to wear the championship ring, and he was the first. He had no other choice, because he was the leader of the team.

NBA championship rings, each NBA championship ring has to go through the manual labor of 75 to 100 people, and each production process takes an average of about 10 weeks. The price of each championship ring is about 5 to 10 dollars. The team has a total of more than 30 championship rings. If you look at the salary of the players, it may not be very precious, but this is not what the price can measure.

The championship ring, whether it is the main force or the substitute, or the coach, team doctor, or trainer, as long as the members of the championship team are registered employees of the club, everyone has a share.

The championship rings of players, coaches, and owners must have names, and others may not. However, because it is the first championship of the Eagles after moving to Atlanta, even the trainer's championship ring has his name engraved on it.

After getting the ring, Liu Mang carefully studied whether it was a real diamond or not. After counting, there were 15 diamonds in total, surrounded by a small platinum frame, surrounded by an image of the O’Brien Cup. On one side of the ring was the name of the Eagles team, and on the other side were the names of the players. When Liu Mang looked carefully, he found a small "secret". !
This is really thoughtful!Liu Mang couldn't help kissing the 15 diamonds clustered in a circle.

After Liu Mang put the championship ring on his index finger, Rahim took the microphone from the host: "Thank you very much for the team, thank you very much, I can still hear your cheers when I come back here when I am already a player of another team. We were the strongest lineup in NBA history last season. No one is stronger than us. However, starting today, we are no longer a team, we are opponents..."

Yesterday afternoon, Liu Mang and Jason Terry met with Raheem. They didn't talk about the team or basketball. They talked about how Raheem went to Orlando and how happy he was to renew his contract with the maximum salary...

Jason Terry and Raheem talked more about the difference between the nightclubs in the two places...

There were tears in Raheem's eyes when he said these words. From the moment he won the championship ring, it will be difficult for him to have anything to do with the Eagles from a player's point of view.

Perhaps one day, Raheem’s big contract is over, and before retiring, he returns to the Eagles to sign a contract for one game, and then retires. Relying on several All-Stars, a rebounding champion, the best team, first defense, and most importantly a 16-1 championship, he has the opportunity to retire his jersey in the Eagles, a team with a not-so-glamorous team history.

After giving out the championship rings, Liu Mang, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Raheem, the four starters from last season, together with Jason Terry, Stockton, Muhammad, Kevin Willis, Korver, Calderon, and Kwame Brown who replaced Ratliff in the starting lineup, all ten of them flicked their palms together, facing the camera with the back of their palms, showing the picture of wearing the ring on their finger, and the cameraman wanted to take a photo.

When the photo was over, Liu Mang looked at the picture of his teammates wearing rings. When he saw a man with small hands, he couldn't help but say, "Wow, Kwame, your hands are smaller than Jason's!"

Kwame Brown felt his chest was pounded, and it was still the boss's poisonous hands!

More than once, he heard shooting coach Chip Englander say that his small hands are not conducive to shooting and second offense, so he should choose direct dunks and direct tip-ups, and don't take the ball down, which is easy to be intercepted.

Kwame Brown was already frustrated, and finally developed a pie-eating style of play. Liu Mang, Calderon, McGrady, Iguodala, and Rasheed Wallace can give him a lob and a direct lob, so that he almost forgot about it. Now the boss is here to beat the scars away!

Kwame Brown feels out of place with teammates because of small hands...

……

"Grant, why don't you come to our team to play after your contract is over, and we can win the championship together."

"Wow, that will have to wait for many years, and I may be in a wheelchair by then."

"Uh, Grant, you have to believe in modern medicine. Medicine is still very reliable now. I think you are doing well now. Let's bet 100 yuan that you can play 60 games during your rotation this year."

"Haha, if I really played 60 games, I'll treat you to dinner!"

When the final championship flag is hoisted, the pre-match activities are over, the staff remove the props, the two sides start the final warm-up or chat with the opponent, and the family and friends of the players can come up to take a group photo before the game begins.

Liu Mang greeted the comeback Grant Hill. Seniors, as juniors, they should show off their championship rings. How could a player as good as Hill not hook up in advance?

During the preseason, Grant Hill came back, miraculously recovered from the injury, but there was still a risk of recurrence, so the Magic announced that Hill would not play back-to-back, but he was already able to play in the NBA.

Liu Mang remembers that this was the year when Hill's body began to recover, and of course, it was also the year when he began to transform from a star player to a role player.

Liu Mang chatted with Grant Hill, and Little Lolita ran over.

"Uncle, ring ring!" Little Lolita wanted to grab something again.

But this time, Liu Mang did not agree: "Uncle really wants to keep this ring for himself."

"Hmm..." Seeing that Liu Mang was so serious about these trophies for the first time, and as smart as a little Lolita, she immediately understood the significance of this ring. She was almost 10 years old, and she probably understood friendship, so she said: "Then uncle gave the ring to Dinah, and Dinah helped uncle hold it."

"I want to show off to your classmates! Here it is, be careful not to lose it, it's a real diamond! This ring costs tens of thousands!" Liu Mang emphasized.

Seeing the little Lolita get the ring and run to pretend to be aggressive, Liu Mang really doesn't know what to say to this kind of kid who has reached the age of showing off... In short, appearance is justice.

But there is one thing that Liu Mang is kind of embarrassed today. His other nine teammates' girlfriends or wives from last season all came up to take a group photo, but Levia and Alexia refused to come. Everyone wants to be famous, but these two girls don't want to be famous.

Liu Mang went to shoot the ball helplessly, warming up for the game.

However, there was a scene that made Liu Mang feel weird. Josh Smith and the champion Lang Dwight Howard on the opposite side were chatting shoulder to shoulder!
Looking at Howard's hearty smiling face, this guy is so happy!

After the two chatted, Liu Mang called Josh Smith over: "Josh, are you familiar with that high school student?"

"Of course, boss, Dwight and I were teammates in high school!" Josh Smith replied, "What's the matter? Boss, don't you like Dwight? He's a good guy, he has a great personality, look, he has a smile on everyone's face."

"Um, I forgot that you are also a high school student." Liu Mang just remembered this, and he said why Josh Smith was waived by the Pistons in the future, so he immediately ran to serve as a substitute for Howard, "It's okay, I'm just curious..."

Yes, happy beast, how could it not like to laugh.

Rahim is a guy who can play without a break in the first six years of his career. He has maintained excellent health. In his early years, he was called the iron man of the 96 generation. He stopped playing in his thirties because he lost his love for basketball because of too many losses.
Raheem and Howard, after three or four years, it's a bit tricky!

However, Liu Mang was also very happy that Rahim would have a good next home.

……

It was almost seven o'clock, and the referee signaled the people who should leave the field to leave, and the game was about to start.

The arena staff came up and wiped the floor, everything was ready, and the referee signaled the players to come on.

After more than five months, Prince danced the square dance again, and the scene immediately burst into cheers, and a large number of fans danced along with him. Even the councilors in the city hall also dabbled in the "NBA court dance" that had been included in Atlanta's "intangible cultural protection case" and jumped up.

Liu Mang feels very sorry for this. In China, this thing is not taken seriously, and young people dislike it. It was fine when it first came out, but now the Korean wave has taken over the lives of young people. On the contrary, Atlanta has included this thing in the city protection clause.

He accidentally created a "history", but Liu Mang really wanted to die. It is estimated that in the next few years, when square dancing is mentioned, someone Liu will be mentioned.

Kwame Brown grabbed some chalk and came to the other side of the court, clapped his hands to let the chalk float away, the lights were turned off with the cheers of the fans, and Rasheed Wallace's horrible face appeared on the big screen. With a roar, the audience began to riot!
After discussing with McGrady whether to start the game, and after McGrady’s quiet personality doesn’t like it, Liu Mang no longer designs moves for new teammates. Teammates come and go, unless it’s McGrady, a friend who has known him for a long time, and would not be too sad even if he was not a team before.

After Liu Mang put on the chalk powder, he grabbed a handful and sprinkled it in the air, and went on stage!

……

The Eagles sent Liu Mang, McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown to the starting lineup.

Liu Mang looked at the starters of the Magic, Jameer Nelson, ability rating 69, Cardinal Mobley, ability rating 81, Grant Hill, ability rating 85, Raheem, ability rating 93, Dwight Howard, ability rating 75.

Turkoglu, who has an ability rating of 84, is also on the bench. This year's Magic team is very good!
Even swapping Raheem for Francis would be nice, as if the Magic would have won nearly 20 more games this season than they did last season.

Why does Liu Mang remember it so clearly, because this is McGrady's original black material. Once he leaves, the Magic can compete for the playoffs.

Watching Kwame Brown and Dwight Howard, the two high school No. [-] picks selected after three years, walk to the center circle.

Liu Mang feels that both of them are high school students with physical fitness, but there are still many differences. Kwame Brown is more like a traditional center.

Both are two meters one by one, Howard seems to be a little shorter, and I don't know if Kwame Brown has grown taller or Howard lied about his height.

Kwame Brown is much stronger. Howard was only 120 kilograms at his peak. Kwame Brown is only 22 years old and already weighs 117 kilograms.

They all have long wingspan and strong upper limbs. The difference is that Kwame Brown has a strong upper limbs while his lower limbs are also good and full of tonnage.

Also, Kwame Brown has small hands and Howard has big hands...

Seeing Howard, Kwame Brown is very excited!
Why are you so excited, because the boss said, tortured Howard to death, so he is not the only one who has the title of parallel importer...

When Howard walked to the middle circle, he originally wanted to say hello to Kwame Brown. They are both high school students. Everyone played happily together. Who knows, the other party has a vicious look on his face!
Howard felt the strong hostility from Kwame Brown!
Howard is very confused!If you didn't offend this senior, how could you be so hostile to him?Everyone is the champion of high school students!

"This guy is not a friend! We can't play basketball happily together!" Howard immediately confirmed Kwame Brown's 'hostile status'.

The referee blows the whistle to start the game and throws the ball into the air.

Kwame Brown took off with all his strength, and Howard on the opposite side also took off with all his strength. In terms of jumping height, the two are on par!
The big hand and the small hand hit the ball at the same time, and the ball was hit by two forces. The force could not be offset, and the ball bounced upwards. Because Kwame Brown was stronger, the ball flew to the Eagles' backcourt and was caught by Liu Mang!

"Damn!" Liu Mang was shocked by the physical fitness of the two, and the most important thing is, are the two desperate?It's just a ball jump!
"Ding... The system task is released: hip humiliation."
