From today on is the king

Chapter 860

"Ace, the team has a problem." McGrady said sitting next to Liu Mang.

After playing against the Nuggets, the Eagles set off for Atlanta the next morning. They will hold a press conference for Mourning's joining in the afternoon. It is necessary to give the veteran enough face. This time Mourning communicated for a long time before reaching a verbal commitment to join.

But now there is still a big and small problem in front of Liu Mang and McGrady. McGrady is too familiar with the impact of trade shocks. He has been the core of the Magic for four years. A team like the Magic has trade shocks every season, and not just once or twice.

"I know, but the transaction just happened, it's inevitable," Liu Mang replied casually, "It's okay, it will get better soon."

"You should say something to your teammates to strengthen their confidence." McGrady said dissatisfied when he saw that Liu Mang didn't care.

"Yes, yes, I know..." Liu Mang felt that Mai Mama was really worrying too much, but he suddenly realized, and asked suspiciously: "Wait, let me tell you about this, what about you, Tracy?"

McGrady leaned on the back of the chair and replied: "I'm the younger brother! I'm Pippen, not Jordan, but you. You are responsible for enlightening your teammates, yes, that's it."

"..." Liu Mang looked at Mai Di worrying so much and seemed troublesome, he was speechless: Who is this person!
……

After Liu Mang returned to Atlanta with the team, he went home and met Dinah, Alexia, and Levia during the vacation. He went to the restaurant that Kwame Brown and Mourning made an appointment to have lunch with Mourning. Kwame Brown, McGrady, Rasheed Wallace, Jason Terry, Prince, and Iguodala, the six best teammates, all went together.

Liu Mang was led by the waiter to the innermost place on the second floor of the restaurant. Seeing that all the people who had made an appointment had arrived, he quickly apologized: "Sorry, Alonzo, I'm late..."

When Liu Mang arrived at the restaurant, Mourning had already chatted with McGrady and Rasheed Wallace, two more familiar new teammates who entered the NBA in the mid-90s.

Most Americans are familiar with them. Even Kwame Brown, except for the two years when he was scolded by Jordan to doubt his life, he is also a cheerful person in normal times, but he was a high school graduate when he entered the NBA. He didn’t even experience the miniature society of college.

However, Qumei Brown is very different from ordinary muscle men. Even in the waterline champion, it is not particularly watery. It is better than Anthony-I do n’t know how many times it is better than the sugar man Olovakidi. At the age of 30, he can get a contract with 800 million U.S. knives at the Bucks and Warriors. It is said that he was selected by Jordan, which was chosen by Jordan. The parallel "halo" was much brighter than ordinary.

"Haha, Ace, it's not that you're late. We made an appointment at 11 o'clock, and it's only [-]:[-]. We came early." Mourning came up and hugged Liu Mang.

Still so hearty, although the first impression of a handsome person is good, but a rough man like Mourning with thick eyebrows, a square face and a big nose is more likely to leave a deep impression on people, especially that kind of hearty character.

After a hug, the two sat down.

"How about it, Alonzo, how does it feel to win the championship when you come to Atlanta?" Liu Mang joked.

"Wow, Ace, you are as confident as when we first met three years ago... No, it's pride." Mourning laughed.

"Of course, we were the strongest in the first place. Now that we have you, we will be even stronger! Let's kill O'Neill together!"

Liu Mang and his teammates often come to this store. The waiter knows what Liu Mang likes to drink. After pouring Liu Mang a fifth of a glass of white wine, Liu Mang raised his glass and offered a toast to Mourning first.

Mourning can't drink alcohol now, everyone knows, so he drank juice, raised his glass when he heard Liu Mang's words, and said, "Haha, let's kill O'Neill together! I don't like him a long time ago!"

If it weren't for the fact that there is no other way to go in the East, and it just so happens that his old club Miami is the favorite to win the championship, Mourning would never consider hugging O'Neal's thigh.

Liu Mang can be regarded as a very cheerful personality among Chinese people. After becoming teammates with Mourning, they quickly chatted together. The main topic was to train Kwame Brown to deal with O'Neal.

Of course, this is because of strength, otherwise, no matter how good the character is, it will be useless. Liu Mang understands this very well...

Just when we were chatting happily, an accident happened again...

A waiter was about to come up to pour juice for Mourning, when Liu Mang stood up and bumped into the waiter, so that the mouth of the juice bottle was facing Liu Mang, spraying Liu Mang's face...

The six old teammates and Mourning immediately moved away from Liu Mang for several meters, and all escaped.

Seeing Mourning's sharp reaction, Liu Mang knew that that damned Mai Mama was a bitch in front of his new teammate again!

The young master is not the god of plague, it's just that he has been unlucky these few days!What are you doing running so far!
……

……

After lunch, Liu Mang and others came to the Phillips Arena with Mourning. They didn't drink too much at noon, so they had a drink and a bite to eat, so as not to delay the press conference at three o'clock.

Mourning and Walter McCarty joined the Hawks, mainly because of Mourning's joining. Although McCarty has only played for the ninth season, he has come to the end of his career. He still has a one-year veteran's basic salary contract of 102 million.

Although the momentum of Mourning's joining is not as exaggerated as when Malone joined the Lakers last season, the Eagles are the defending champions, but the inside defense has declined after the absence of Raheem and Ratliff.

And Mourning’s defensive performance after his comeback this season is still phenomenal. He can still have a very good defensive performance after playing 20 minutes per game. Although he can’t compare with Ratliff who was at his peak two years ago, he doesn’t need to support the basket like Ratliff.

The joining of Mourning will greatly make up for the shortcomings of the Hawks' center position being too young. Moreover, it mainly snatches away Mourning, who was originally thought to have a high probability of joining the Heat, and snatches away the potential reinforcements of the direct competitors in the East. The media and fans regard it as a perfect operation.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held on time. Owner Price gave Mourning his No. 33 jersey and Walter McCarty his No. 40 jersey. Mourning and McCarty officially joined the Eagles.

"I think I still have a lot of gas in the tank. I will make some noise with this group of young people. Our young people are so good. I think this is the best lineup I have ever played in. We won the championship last season, and this year we can still..."

Mourning showed strong confidence in the press conference, as well as his delight at adding Ga to the championship team.

In the end, Mourning specifically said: "We have Kwame, the best center in the East, I want to be with him, and Rashid, we will be the best inside combination in the East..."

Next to him, the number one high school student who was happy to have a teacher with a normal personality almost sat down on the ground.

do not!Brother Alonzo, we can say no if we have something to say!
……

The Christmas game is about to start, and the Eagles’ opponent in this season’s Christmas game... is the Nets. They have been in love with each other for three consecutive years. In addition, Carter still led the Nets to the third place in the Eastern Conference despite Kidd’s continuous injuries this season. Their strength should not be underestimated. The Nets have never been a regular season team.

Whether it is the dispute between the cousins, the dispute over Jordan's successor, or the grievances and grievances in the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years, this Christmas game is full of highlights.

But for the Eagles, although Mourning's joining made the fans feel excited and silenced many teams in the league, the unrest within the Eagles has not weakened.

After Mourning officially joined, it seems that Josh Smith and Varejao's opportunities will be much less.

And the fact is the same. Mourning will probably play ten to twenty minutes. Varejao didn't have many chances to play, and Josh Smith and Muhammad will lose a few minutes.

On the contrary, Muhammad, who has a good mentality, and Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown, the two starters, don't care so much about this kind of thing, and care more about the substitute.

And it’s not just the insiders who are affected, but also the outsiders, because they are two outside teammates. The other outside players are not perfect players, not even perfect. They have many shortcomings. They are afraid that the management will give up on them.

Winning is the purpose of playing basketball. If not for winning, why play basketball?Money is very important, but they are already millionaires when they enter the NBA, and they need more psychological pursuit.

Liu Mang went home and thought about it all night. He called Coach Kruger, Tracy McGrady, Stockton, Malone, and Rasheed Wallace. After thinking about it, he sent a text message to his teammates in the middle of the night to hold a player meeting tomorrow morning.

……

It was December 12th, Christmas, and the last day of Liu Mang's unlucky day. Liu Mang checked that there was oil in the fuel tank. Yesterday, the red Lamborghini was also checked by the auto repair man. He then asked Levia, who was woken up at 25 o'clock in the morning with a displeased face, to drive him to the arena.

Even safe family planning tools can be pierced when applauding love, and Levia, who doesn't want to have another child so early, is speechless.

Alexia, on the other hand, has recently stopped using family planning tools. After returning to Atlanta from a trip in China, she has already started to prepare for pregnancy. Taking advantage of Dinah's fourth grade, she doesn't need special extra care at school. In terms of security, she has the protection of the rough-looking Christine Wagner, which is enough to scare petty thieves. After the end of last semester, Alexia felt ready to have a child.

As for marriage... American marriage and love and having children are two different things...

After Liu Mang arrived at the arena, the unlucky things continued one after another. The parking lot railing was broken. When Liu Mang arrived at the training ground, the window was smashed by a football from somewhere last night. In this football desert in the United States, heck, there are people playing football on the side of the road... Liu Mang can only practice shooting in the cold wind, and the air conditioner is repaired, which is useless.

At 08:30, the teammates came one after another. Liu Mang went to take a shower. The teammates were all present and came to the conference room together.

Coach Kruger also came to work at eight o'clock, but he didn't interfere with the players' meetings. He was very relieved about Liu Mang, as long as Liu Mang didn't mess with the team, he would do anything.

As long as he is making trouble, Coach Kruger wants to kick Liu Mang to death.

……

"Tracey, I thought you were in charge of the overall situation, but I didn't expect it to be Ace, he's still so young!" Mourning whispered to McGrady next to him.

"Alonzo, Ace is a great leader, you can't treat him like a child, he is the MVP of the Finals!" McGrady emphasized.

McGrady is deepening Liu Mang's "authority" for Mourning. A player with a beautiful career history like Mourning has rich experience and good strength. The bad thing is that he is afraid that he will overwhelm the host.

Although the possibility is unlikely and Mourning is old, McGrady still helped Liu Mang eliminate this hidden danger.

Liu Mang brewed for a while, and turned on the head of state mode: "I called everyone so early today, and I have something very important to tell you.

Some teammates have left, and new ones have joined. I know everyone's confusion. We played so well and played so well before, why do we need to trade? "

From the very beginning, Liu Mang told the most disturbing things about his young teammates.

After a pause of two seconds, when his teammates wanted to speak, Liu Mang took advantage of this moment, which was the most memorable moment for his teammates, to interrupt the teammates who wanted to speak, deepening their impression, and continued: "The trade does not mean that the teammates who leave are not good enough. Tony and Trevor are both very good players, but you have to believe that those of you who stay must be better players. Why are they not you who left? Shouldn't you be happier?

Why do men need so much fear? Try to be yourself, show your strength, let the team know how important you are to the team, and show your ability well. As long as you are good enough, will you still be afraid of the team trading you?

You have to believe in yourself, just like me, I made up my mind from the beginning, I will become the strongest player in the history of the Eagles, and even the strongest player in the history of the NBA.

Your eyes should be broader, you can't just stare at the reduction of playing time in the few minutes in front of you, and you can't be complacent just to get a few minutes of playing time. Do you think this is the way you will be in the future?

Andre, I think you're going to be the MVP, do you believe it?
I believe it, why don't you believe it?

Anderson, I think you're going to lead in rebounding one day, that's your best point.

Josh, I think you will be the best power forward in the world one day, do you have the confidence?
Must have!

Moreover, self-confidence is not enough, you are still far behind!
You guys have to learn more, I learned from Stockton, I learned from Jordan, even that nasty guy in Los Angeles, I took the initiative to ask him for advice.

I also watched Ginobili's video to learn how to use my left hand, watched Reggie Miller, Alan Houston's video training running position, and even learned Ben Wallace's positioning and rebounding...

You guys are much more talented than me, I can hardly match your physical fitness, but, I'm the MVP now, I'm the best player in the world.

You, too, should learn from Alonzo, and Walter, Rashid, Kwame, these excellent teammates.

You have to believe that even if one day, the team trades you, it is not your loss, but the team.

Regardless of whether we can play together all the time in the future, but at this moment, don't be a mother-in-law, don't be like a woman who cares about trivial things.

Our goal now is to defend the championship!This season, you, and I, have only one goal!
For the sake of the championship and for you to have a better career experience in the future, from today onwards, our new team must unite as one.

For the championship! "

When Liu Mang said this, the lights in the conference room started to flicker, the turnbuckles sparked, and the light bulb was rusted after being used for too long, and the contact was poor.

"Ding...Hitler's bewitching trigger, the host's discussion, criticism, and encouragement greatly increased the sense of identity of the teammates following the host."

It should have been Liu Mang's unlucky thing, but at this moment, the players felt that Liu Mang's words had "deterrence"!
At this moment, in the eyes of his teammates, Liu Mang seemed to be "god descended to earth"!Want to be provocative.

"For the championship!" Jason Terry will always be the first one to cheer for Liu Mang, helping Liu Mang to mobilize his teammates.

With someone taking the lead, other teammates also shouted: "For the championship!"

Originally, Mourning really treated Liu Mang like a child. Under the guidance of McGrady, and the current scene, Mourning felt incredible, and an unavoidable feeling emerged deep in his heart.

It is said that Jordan and Duncan are players who are born to rule the NBA. Mourning does not deny this.

But compared with Liu Mang, both of them seem to be inferior.

Jordan has that kind of arrogant attitude, Duncan has that kind of calm and calm attitude, and Liu Mang gives Mourning a completely different feeling!
I can't say why, but I just want to follow him!
Mourning smiled and yelled with his teammates: "For the championship!"

……

In the reception room next to the conference room, coach Kruger, Mike Woodson, Stockton, Malone, boss Price, and vice president of logistics Mauron Wiley all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the voice from the next door.

"I told you, it's okay to leave this kind of thing to Ace." Moron Willy smiled, looking at the team bosses who said they didn't interfere with the players' meeting but stayed next door, I really didn't know what to say.

"Haha, Moron, you guessed it right this time, I'm treating you tonight, Christmas Eve, there should be something fun." Price put his arm on Moron Willy's shoulder and smiled.

"Boss, what's a good place to go tonight..." Moron Willie followed Price.

Coach Kruger, several assistant coaches and trainers also left with a smile. It is indeed a good choice to leave this kind of matter to Liu Mang, but they are just worried!

After all, no matter how old the players are, they are still in their 30s. On the road of life, they are still in their young and middle age. These coaches are all over 40, so they will naturally be worried, especially Coach Kruger. These players are all children brought up by him!

……

Heartbroken, the website was down early in the morning, and more than 500 chapters of Xiaofeng’s book disappeared, and more than 1000 favorites were lost. It’s so desolate. The follow-up rate was not high, but now it’s even worse... Ask for a recommendation ticket to soothe the injured heart... If there is a reward, it will be better...
