From today on is the king

Chapter 801 800. Who do you most want to be? (seeking subscription and recommendation ticket)
109 to 97, in the last few minutes Jason Terry went up and played a few blind shots, but the efficiency was not high, and the 12-point difference was narrowed alive. The Eagles still easily won the game against the Wizards.

Liu Mang scored 34 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Tracy McGrady had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, Kwame Brown had 17 points and 10 rebounds, Sixth Man Jason Terry had 18 points, Rasheed Wallace had 11 points, and Calderon had 10 points.

Originally, people thought that with Tracy McGrady, the Eagles should have twin stars shining, mainly on the scoring end, and they might use a double-star style of play close to the Celtics. The two stars accounted for more than half of the team's points.

But I didn't expect this to be the case. The more McGrady played, the happier he became...

……

……

"When a flower blooms, there is..."

"Ace, the phone is coming."

"Who is it, Levia, help me pick it up... um..." Liu Mang found a grape in his mouth and bit it.

"Oh, don't... wait, it's McGrady's phone." Levia endured the strangeness of her body, touched the phone from the bedside table, looked at the name and said to Liu Mang.

"Tracey? What is this guy doing in the morning..."

Liu Mang picked up the phone on his two legs, and Levia stuffed the quilt into her mouth and tried to keep silent...

……

Two hours later, Liu Mang drove to the villa that McGrady rented, not far from Georgia Tech. The nearby villa area is very quiet, and McGrady has not bought a house yet, because it is not sure whether he will settle in Atlanta for a long time.

The villa Maidi rented did not have a wall, so maybe Liu Mang was so obsessed with it. Chinese people have too much concept of community. Americans don’t have the concept of community. In the urban area, except for apartments, most houses are directly in the block.

Arriving outside the door of Maddie's villa, Liu Mang honked his horn frantically: "Tracey, hurry up!"

This bastard who disturbed people's dreams, Liu Mang received a call, this bastard said he forgot to refuel his car, and asked Liu Mang to pick him up to the airport.

It was only then that Liu Mang remembered that when he went to the away game in the summer league, McGrady took the car of other teammates who had a car, so he couldn't bear to pay for a little gas!
Seeing McGrady running out with this bag on his back, Liu Mang felt that it was a mistake to find McGrady as his partner to compete for the championship.
How good it is to let this guy harm Yao Ming!
At this moment, Liu Mang thought of many things. For example, McGrady has been with the Eagles for so many months, and he has not invited a single guest!Kevin Willis, who wears a suit every day, invited guests twice.

"Ace, you're finally here, oh, I'm so hungry, you haven't had breakfast yet, let's go eat together." Maddie threw the bag on the back seat and said positively.

"..." Liu Mang gave Mai Di a blank look, and today he has to lose dozens of dollars...

……

The first game in November was against the Lakers. At noon on November 11nd and October 11st, the Eagles came to Los Angeles. On the 2st, Sports Illustrated had an exclusive interview with the champion. This should have been done in July and August, but Liu Mang went to the Olympics at that time, and then it was delayed until now.

When we arrived at the hotel, we found our room and put our luggage away. As soon as Liu Mang sat down to rest, McGrady came. Liu Mang asked, "Looking for Kobe to invite us to dinner?"

McGrady shrugged helplessly: "That guy, he won't see us at this time."

Liu Mang thought about Kobe's character, and felt helpless: "You heartless guy, we spent two weeks loving each other in the summer."

"Wow, Ace, you won the finals MVP here half a year ago! It's a miracle that he agreed to train with you, and taught you skills. Now he will talk to you, it's hell." McGrady joked.

"Forget it, Tracy, where are you going to play today?" Liu Mang didn't care too much.

"I'm not going out, I asked the trainer to help me prepare a nutritious meal, and I'm going to discuss with Tyshawn how to deal with Kobe." McGrady felt that being a "mother" was too difficult, but he thought that he had won a triple-double when he first came to the Eagles. He only had a few assists in double figures in the previous season.But defense is the most important thing, defense wins the championship, this is a truth.

"The Lakers are not as weak as O'Neal, but you are still so serious..." Liu Mang said strangely.

"Ace, you underestimate Kobe..." McGrady reported the scouts to Liu Mang. After arriving in Los Angeles, the coaching staff got it from the front scouts. The Eagles now have more than 20 scouts. In addition to more than a dozen of them moving between the 28 cities where the teams are located, there are also a few 'traveling' in universities and Europe.

McGrady came to find Liu Mang, and Mike Woodson's assistant coach asked him to deliver the report.

Liu Mang looked at it and was surprised by the performance of the Lakers at the beginning.

The Lakers are off to a good start!Even after three consecutive victories, the most important thing is the opening game, which actually killed the Heat!Hell, the two teams went to overtime, Kobe scored 47 points and beat the Heat 105-104.

Liu Mang flipped through the scouting report of the Lakers. Kobe really started this season very well.

Liu Mang remembered that the Lakers had a good start to the season and were in the playoffs for a long time. It was only after the All-Star Weekend that the strong teams began to decline. After Kobe was injured, the Lakers fell out of the playoffs. Too much weight gain and many injuries in the later period must have a very important relationship. Facts have proved that Kobe is still more elegant than powerful.

I saw the comparison between Kobe’s latest photos and the old ones. I saw Kobe doing a lot of strength training before training together. Liu Mang couldn’t see any changes because he kept watching. Now compare the photos. Nima, he really became a little Marlon!
Those arms are thicker than insiders.

Liu Mang thought of the comparison between Kobe's and Yao Ming's arms, a shooting guard's arm is much thicker than the tallest player in the league...

Thinking of McGrady and Prince who were going to defend Kobe Bryant, Liu Mang gave McGrady a sympathetic look.

McGrady felt Liu Mang's gaze, and shrugged helplessly again. Being a "mother" is not easy. You have to take care of both offense and defense. He has to work overtime when his teammates go to Los Angeles on vacation...

Seeing McGrady go to Prince, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown and others to discuss defense with Mike Woodson, Liu Mang is the player who was "abandoned" on the defensive end.

It's not that Liu Mang's defense is bad, but Liu Mang has to do too much in terms of scoring. He has played high-pressure games for three consecutive years, and even played in the Olympics in the summer.

Just as the management of the Eagles thinks that Liu Mang's vision has a lot to do with the brokerage company behind it, so does the public opinion. Regarding the fact that Liu Mang opened his own brokerage company, many people said that Liu Mang had good vision, but there were also people who attacked him.

Liu Mang also lost the intention of going out for a stroll. He has a long-term mission: the road of the black mamba against the war.

This task requires Liu Mang to suppress the Black Mamba's counterattack and sweep Kobe in the regular season. The task reward is the Kobe star card for that season.

This is very important to Liu Mang, if he meets the Spurs in the finals...Kobe is more suitable than anyone to deal with the Spurs.

Liu Mang asked the videographer for the videos of the first three games of the Lakers and the preseason game, and watched the videos in the room to prepare for the game the day after tomorrow... Not to mention, the scene of Kobe fighting against Artest in back-to-back games against the Pacers yesterday was too shocking...

……

……

On the first day of the new month, the Eagles were invited to Sports Illustrated headquarters in the Time Warner office building in Manhattan Beach.

Under the leadership of the editor-in-chief of Sports Illustrated, the Eagles visited the Sports Illustrated headquarters building. The first floor is the staff restaurant and reception desk, the second floor is the gym, and the third floor is the reading room.

On the fourth floor are some photos and awards from the North American Press Association received by Sports Illustrated. There are photos of celebrities interviewed, including the NBA area. Since the ABA and BAA were completely annexed by the NBA in 1976, Sports Illustrated has regarded basketball in North America as the only NBA. The photos of the championship team in the annual NBA championship team interview and the photos of the finals MVP interview are all here.

It's just that this year is a little different. Except that the Bulls didn't have a group photo in the year of the lockout, and probably in the second year after the Eagles won the championship, most of the young lineup can be dismantled.

The fifth to seventh floors are the major editorial departments, and the eighth floor is the interview hall and several main offices.

After looking at it, Liu Mang feels that the benefits of the big company are good!
At the beginning, it was a group interview session, and everyone was interviewed together. In this away game, Tony Allen, Ariza, and Kevin Willis, who were not on the active list, all came to Los Angeles with the team. It is not easy for a large-scale interview to occupy the entire headline page of Sports Illustrated. The team did not forget them.

McGrady said that joining a championship team will allow the team to continue to write brilliantly.

As for the rookies, they all want to get more playing time, and several veteran players said they will continue to work hard and so on.

They are all very official answers, and the press officer has already told the team members the answers to the questions they may encounter.

Sports Illustrated is not very satisfied with such an answer, but it is also expected. It is like this every year. In such a large-scale interview, it is difficult to get any explosive answers.

But the Eagles have Zhang Liangji, and Sports Illustrated also has bridge ladders.

……

After the group interview, several Eagles players were taken to a small interview room for individual interviews.

Of course, in terms of interviews, Sports Illustrated didn't think they could find any news about the other people. Their main target was Liu Mang.

Sports Illustrated sent Jenny Skett, a 20-year-old Georgia sports columnist, model and former gymnast they had just signed out of college, to deal with Liu.

A 20-year-old girl is youthful and beautiful! With a height of 1.7 meters, he looks pretty cute, with protruding front and back. Liu Mang looked at the introduction of the reporter in his hand, and at Jenny Skate in front of him. The two just sat down and asked before Jenny Skate started the interview: "Jenny, are you not an athlete because you are too tall and your body is too good to affect your movements? I didn't remember that Georgia athletes have you!"

Jenny Skett felt that this question came too suddenly. Don’t say it, it’s always a happy thing to be hated as long as the person on the opposite side doesn’t let the girls see it. Jenny Skate said with a smile: "Yeh, I think there is a possibility of this. My athlete career is really not good. The state championship is always a little bit worse."

"OK, I would like to ask, is your height more important to your gymnast, or is your body more important?" Liu Mang continued to be curious.

Jenny Skett thought for a while and replied, "I think it's height."

"Won't a good figure affect your athletic performance?" Liu Mang began to dig a hole.

"Of course, my gymnastics project is rhythmic gymnastics. Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport that focuses on aesthetics, and a good figure is also very important." Jenny Skett is very confident about her figure.

"Then here comes the question, what are your measurements?" Liu Mang asked with a smile.

"My measurements are... Ace, you're talking to me! It's too much." Jenny Skett gave Liu Mang a blank look, and then she came to her senses.

"Oh, well, I'm just asking my teammates. You are so beautiful, have a good figure, and you like basketball. Those guys will probably have a nosebleed when they see you." Liu Mang strongly blamed his teammates.

"What about you, do you see that I don't have any ideas?" Jenny Skate put her elbows on her knees, leaned her upper body towards Liu Mang, and the crowded mountain was looming.

"Me? You know I have a girlfriend and a child. If something happens, I'll have to kneel down on the remote control when I get home." Liu Mang sighed helplessly.

"Kneel on the remote control?" Jenny Skett was curious this time, what is this new way of playing?

"Yeh, you have to kneel and keep still and you can't press the button on it. If you change the channel, it will add 1 minute. What's the taste, Jenny, if you have a boyfriend or have a boyfriend in the future, you can try it." Liu Mang began to harm the common people. If this conversation is released, more and more powerful girls will have new ways to play.

Women's little thoughts are always evil, Jenny Skett's eyes lit up: "Ace's girlfriend's trick is so interesting, I will try it when I have a boyfriend..."

The editor-in-chief coughed a few times to remind Jenny Skate: Are you a reporter or he is a reporter!The topic is too far away!

Only then did Jenny Skett realize that she was led away by Liu Mang!

This guy!Jenny Skett immediately sat upright and forced the topic back on track: "Ace, you are too powerful, I can't be disturbed by you! Let's ask questions, how about an interesting opening?"

"OK." Liu Mang still wants to continue playing, but his work is still very important.

Seeing Liu Mang's cooperation, Jenny Skett had a better impression of Liu Mang: "Ace, if you can, which player in the NBA do you most want to be besides yourself?"

This question...who is better?magician?This guy has AIDS!Jordan?This guy drafted so well, Chamberlain?Died young... Liu Mang thought for a while, and thought that the next opponent was the Lakers, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Kobe!"

"Why?" Jenny Skett became curious again. The relationship between Liu Mang and Kobe is well known to the world, it's too bad, it's incompatible.

Liu Mang said with an exaggerated expression: "Wow, how great it is to be Kobe! Born in the family of an NBA player, he had a car and a house, and he was able to travel to Europe. He played with professional players and had a wonderful youth. He had all the conditions to become an NBA player. When he returned to Philadelphia, he became the first high school student in Philadelphia history. When he entered the NBA at the age of 17, he had O'Neal's thigh to hug.

As soon as the answer came out, the editor-in-chief of Sports Illustrated was about to shed tears!

The editor-in-chief's mentality exploded for a long time. A breaking news that could be the headline finally came. The editor-in-chief wanted to go to the toilet and cry for a while. It was too difficult...
