From today on is the king

Chapter 859. Chapter 858. The Not Easy Generation 03

"I am very grateful to Tony and Trevor for their contributions to the team. Their talents are great. I hope they will have more opportunities to perform in the new team and show their extraordinary strength. I believe they will become very good stars in the future. Kevin has been discussing with us about the future. I hope his life after retirement will be more fulfilling. We will hold a retirement ceremony for him during the Christmas game. We are more focused on the present and cannot provide them with more opportunities to exercise, so we chose to let them go and let them play more suitable for them. The stage. We now have two veterans, Alonzo and Walter, to complement the team’s lack of veterans and inexperience. Now our lineup is very neat and will stabilize the current lineup..."

On the afternoon of December 12, the Eagles held a press conference to confirm the transaction, bid farewell to Tony Allen and Ariza, and welcomed Mourning and Walter McCarty.

The joining press conference of Mourning and McCarty will not be held until the Hawks return to Atlanta after their away game against the Nuggets.

At this time, Schwartz had already taken Tony Allen to Boston to report. Going to Boston, Tony Allen would not be wandering back and forth between the NBA and the Development League. Angie would definitely be played by Tony Allen.

It has to be said that the positive comments brought by the Eagles' "losing business" are very good.

I would rather let it go than delay the development of rookies and give Mourning enough face. It is a very good thing for the Eagles to build a team culture.

The foundation of team culture, in the final analysis, is the three words of human touch.

It is very important for players to win the championship, but many players want not only to win the championship, but also whether they can have good development opportunities.

The team needs you, you can perform well, you are a bit redundant for the team, and you will be sent to a stage where you can show your ability; when the player is old, if he has made enough contributions, he will be willing to provide him with a good retirement contract. The contract with Kevin Willis has been delayed until now, and the buyout is only negotiated because there are teammates who must be traded. The Raptors are also given cash compensation so that Kevin Willis can get part of the money after he refuses to report to the Raptors. This is the most important team culture.

Otherwise, the Eagles traded Kevin Willis away directly. If Kevin Willis does not report, he can apply for layoff without paying money.

The Eagles have been missing team culture for decades. Except for the era of Bob Pettit, before Liu Mang came, the Eagles did not have any team culture, even if they had a pretty good time with Donimike Wilkins. Moreover, in Bob Pettit’s era, there was no such thing as team culture. Even before the 80s, the only teams that had team culture were the Lakers and Celtics.

Now that the Eagles have Liu Mang, they are starting to rebuild the team culture.

According to unreliable media reports, after the Heat and the Eagles failed to compete against Mourning, depressive but still loud laughter came from a villa in Los Angeles. On the Miami side, a burly giant went to a fast food restaurant and ate a lot of burgers...

Liu Mang's agent, Schwartz, who promoted the deal, recommended Tony Allen to Angie after getting permission from the Eagles.

Tony Allen is also a member of Liu Mang's agency, but Liu Mang is not familiar with him, but Schwartz has been looking for a team that is more suitable for Tony Allen, and the Celtics are very suitable.

The Celtics are too short of shooting guards. The best shooting guard is actually Yeri Welshko, who averaged only 20 points and 6 rebounds in 2 minutes per game. If Tony Allen is sent to the Celtics, he is more likely to have the opportunity to play. Only with the opportunity to play can he have the opportunity to show his strength and talent, and then he will have the opportunity to get a big contract and make money for the company.

Of course, Schwartz himself is also a very humane and moral person. The reason why Liu Mang chose him as his agent is largely because he knew this person’s resume. It can be seen from the fact that he did not abandon Wang Zhizhi when Wang Zhizhi was waived by both the NBA and the Blue Association. Instead, he actively contacted European teams for him. It’s just that Wang Zhizhi gave in and returned to the CBA to give up the last chance to play with world-class players.

There is also the active search for a job for Odom after he gained weight, and when he was young, he had no way to get ahead, but he became the agent of Love, Aldridge, Whiteside, Harris Barnes and others when he was almost 50 years old, and began to have a position in the NBA.

Talking about human touch and morality may not make people rich, but at least it can make people have a good reputation. With a good reputation, there may be a chance to make a fortune.

More than ten years later, although Liu Mang didn't know what Schwartz looked like, he knew from the news that he was a good man. He didn't need to be very capable to choose an agent.

……

On the 23rd, the last game of the Eagles before the Christmas game, the Eagles came to the Pepsi Center to challenge the Nuggets.

The sudden transaction caused quite a stir within the Eagles.

Just as the media didn't expect this trade, neither did the Eagles players.

It was rumored that Mourning was coming, and Kevin Willis had also returned to the team, and was talking about a buyout.

I didn't expect to talk about the buyout with the Raptors, not the Eagles. The Eagles just compensated the Raptors with cash and asked the Raptors to help with the buyout.

Everyone thought it was just one more teammate, but they didn't expect to lose three teammates, which made some players feel uneasy.

Even though they are just rookies who have been wandering back and forth between the Development League and the NBA, the players can't help but wonder: The team is going to change the lineup?Is it possible for me to be abandoned?

This situation cannot be avoided, because the Eagles have changed too much after the new season, starting from the style of play, and now the personnel are also beginning to change.

Although Steven Price emphasized the need to stabilize the current lineup at the press conference, the team management and coaching staff can't do anything about the turbulence of the team. It is normal for people to have inner fear and worry.

The most important point is that Rahim, who won the championship last season, can be traded. What about the others?

Only Liu Mang and Jason Terry know the truth about Raheem's trade, but they will not tell it, otherwise not only Raheem will be affected, but the Eagles will also be greatly affected, so the two will never say it, and there is no reason to say it.

The management and coaching staff will not mention this matter either.

Psychological fluctuations bring about fluctuations in the state on the court.

Playing with negative emotions, the Eagles are out of whack.

Although many players are used to trading, such things as psychological fluctuations cannot be controlled, and there is no way for Liu Mang. He and McGrady are stronger than everyone on the field, and they can still perform well with their strength, but others are a bit troublesome, mainly because they are not focused.

The decline in the concentration of the Eagles players led to problems on the defensive end. The Nuggets, a track and field team, can run very well. It was originally a fast-playing team with a difficult small-ball style for the Eagles. In this game, the Eagles were suppressed by the Nuggets.

刘莽和麦迪打着打着，两人开始了你扔一个我扔一个的打法，刘莽全场打了41分钟拿到35分8板3助攻，麦迪打了38分钟拿到26分6板8助攻。

Kwame Brown and Jason Terry were undisturbed.

But Kwame Brown met a very strong opponent today. The combination of Camby, Nene, Kenyon Martin, and offensive rebounder Anthony, Kwame Brown only scored 8 points and 8 rebounds, and it seems that he is ready to get a maximum salary.

Jason Terry was defended enough by Andre Miller. This guy is similar to Manu Ginobili.

The Eagles have no psychological pressure at all, only Liu Mang, McGrady, Jason Terry, and Kwame Brown. The four of them are the backbone of the team, and the other main players have alternatives, and the transaction value is not bad.

When Coach George Karl discovered that there was a problem with the Eagles, he decisively turned on the big kill mode, and the strong young combat effectiveness of the Nuggets was brought into play.

The main reason is that Anthony went crazy today. He played 40 minutes and scored 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

Liu Mang and McGrady survived until the last moment, but there was nothing they could do. The Eagles lost to the Nuggets 106-115, ending their seven-game winning streak.

With 22 wins and 5 losses, the Eagles' record was surpassed by the Suns again, but they still stabilized the number one in the East, and they were on the same winning margin as the Pistons with 23 wins and 6 losses.

New Year's Eve Anthony!

He became the first player among the top five picks in the 03 generation to beat Liu Mang in a game!

The people of Miami, Detroit, Toronto, and Cleveland sent congratulatory messages one after another.

It's not easy, the other four players who were the top five picks in the 03 generation, when they saw that one of their five brothers finally beat Liu Mang once, they all cried with joy, it's not easy!
