Chapter 913. 912. What About the All-Star Weekend

I briefly chatted with Paul about the agent, gave Schwartz the contact information, and sent Schwartz a text message, but didn't discuss this issue in depth.

Paul's Wake Forest University has reached the top 64 of the NCAA and will start the knockout round at the end of February. At this stage, it is not yet able to sign an agent, and even if it is found to meet with an agent in private, it will be punished.

Although Paul is the favorite of the top five picks in this year's draft, he will still be concerned about this aspect.

James didn't communicate with Paul in advance, because he was concerned about this matter, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to be so shameless, and he actually snatched business for his company to earn a few percentage points of commission!
After the group of four returned to the hotel, Liu Mang stopped playing with them. James took Paul and Jiada to go shopping together, and Liu Mang went back to the room to catch up on sleep for a while.

At noon, Anthony, as the host, invited some players to the luncheon at noon, mainly rookies, sophomores and some players who participated in this year's All-Star Weekend. Liu Mang's family was also invited.

Liu Mang took the three girls into the restaurant that Anthony booked at the Crawford Hotel where they stayed. McGrady, Rasheed Wallace, Kwame Brown, three All-Star players, and Iguodala and Josh Smith, two Eagles players who participated in the rookie game, were invited.

"Hey, Carmelo and Garnett are here, why didn't you see Kobe?" Liu Mang asked when Anthony came up to hug him.

When he came in, he saw that he was desperately putting food on the plate, and he seemed to be stacking two numbers 21 higher than anyone else, but he didn't see the little blacksmith.

Garnett is a person who has a fighting spirit written on his face and even off the court. Although Duncan seems to have no feelings, he is also a person who refuses to admit defeat. The two are competing on and off the court.

Anthony looked at Liu Mang, what should he say?Could it be that Kobe didn't participate when he heard that you were going to participate?

Anthony could only say haha: "Kobe can't come because he has something to do."

"it's a pity……"

After Liu Mang and Anthony finished greeting each other, they went to have a face-to-face meeting with other people, but they didn't talk too much. The main reason was that other people saw Liu Mang dragging his family with him, and it was not easy to talk about colorful things, especially the teammates who brought Liu Mang's drink bill from the nightclub a few days ago in the morning to let Liu Mang pay. They didn't bother Liu Mang.

Liu Mang still remembers being drunk more than US$5 in three days. Fortunately, it was the turn of Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown to treat them. The girls who took away were paid by McGrady. McGrady was the worst, and now they all looked like they were dying.

Liu Mang found an empty table, took the three girls and started to eat the big family, as if he was going to eat back.

After eating something, James, who brought Paul and his wife for a meal, came over again after greeting a group of bigwigs, and brought the other four members of the 03 generation.

"Hi, Levia, Aida, and the beautiful girl Dinah." James came up to say hello.

The three girls all responded, especially Dinah, who happily clapped hands with the too old uncle he was talking about when she heard the name "beautiful girl".

"LeBron, Dana is only 10 years old." Liu Mang stared at James and said.

"Fuck you, Ace, I have business with you, and I have something to ask." James smiled, and then said seriously.

"Huh? Say, I will help if I can." Liu Mang didn't refuse, seeing how serious James was, the others were also very serious.

James looked around, there was no one else around, and asked: "Ace, I heard from Dewyane that you chose to sign for 5 years because the reason for the end of the fourth year is to directly renew the contract with the terms specified by the veteran?"

This issue?Liu Mang understands that Wade will be in the third grade next year, and it's time to renew his contract early. If he waits until the fourth grade, he will directly renew his contract. The risk of renewing the contract in the fourth grade is very high.

Schwartz must have discussed with Wade, but this kind of thing is not something that the agent can decide to sign for a few years. It is mainly the player's decision.

James has a management team, but he found that his management team is not that good, at least not as good as Liu Mang’s. He first saw that Liu Mang signed a five-year contract, and didn’t think too much about it. Later, after hearing Wade’s words, he remembered that Liu Mang was a second-round pick.

James' agency team trained him well during his high school and rookie periods, but it didn't work after that, so James later formed his own agency company.

Before Liu Mang answered, Anthony spoke first: "LeBron, I don't think this is good. Signing a long-term contract is more conducive to the team building around us."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Bosh and Milicic were fine, Liu Mang, Wade, and James were all speechless.

Isn't it enough to save the team so much money with a four-year rookie contract?Still thinking about the team?Moreover, isn't it his own side that takes the initiative to make the team more oppressive and force them to continuously strengthen the team?
"Carmelo, your idea is also good." Liu Mang did not deny the other party's idea, and then continued: "But I love money more, I want to earn more, so LeBron, you are right, I want to earn more, so I want to trigger the designated veteran clause earlier."

The thing Liu Mang most admired by other stars is also the key to the incredible relationship with so many stars in the eyes of fans. Apart from his strength, it is his way of speaking. He will express his own opinions, but he will not immediately deny others' opinions.

If others came to ask for advice, and Liu Mang felt something was wrong, Liu Mang would say it out, but if it was to express his own opinion, then Liu Mang would not deny it.

Negating others will definitely make others feel dissatisfied, and there is no benefit in denying others. Just let it go and talk about your own ideas. Whether the other party accepts it or not is one thing, it is a matter of politeness.

What Liu Mang said, the other five people thought it was okay.

James nodded: "I see, thank you Ace."

Wade, Bosh, Milicic are also thoughtful.

Anthony didn't speak, but he seemed to disagree with the other four top five picks in the 03 generation. He didn't take Liu Mang's words seriously, and seemed to be planning to follow his own ideas.

Liu Mang didn't say anything. He probably knew why the four top five picks in the 03 generation except Milicic had such a good relationship. In the end, only Anthony didn't play together. The difference in thinking was too great.

Anthony is more like a traditional player, and the others are more trendy in thinking.

After confirming Liu Mang's behavior, there was a forerunner, and the four of them, Jane, Weibo, and Bomi were all concerned.

After saying sorry, James took a few brothers to eat a healthy diet, and there are some league activities in the afternoon that need these rookies.

Wade was the last to leave, and was let down by Liu Mang, and it was time for a private conversation.

"Dwyane, if you are sure that you like Miami and want to stay there for a long time, you can leave the contract issue to Jeff. You don't want to always think about saving money for the Heat. That's what you deserve." Liu Mang said to Wade.

"Boss Ace, I know you guys are doing my best, but if I cut my salary a bit and have more opportunities to get good teammates, I can accept it." Wade was a little moved.

"No, I'm not thinking about you. I'm trying to get more commission. The commission of your salary is the company's money. When I retire and hand over the company to Jeff, I will have a share." Liu Mang said very seriously. Wade sounded like he was joking, but he was serious.

Wade can earn almost 600 million dollars in salary in his career, with a commission of 80 million dollars, and a lot of money after tax deduction. Although he can only get one-third of the agreement with Schwartz, one-third is company funds, and one-third is Schwartz’s commission. The final estimate that Liu Mang got is [-] million dollars, but it is money... Liu Mang can’t bear to let Wade get cheated so much by Pat Riley. Among the money cheated, he has his own share...

Wade felt both funny and heartbroken, how could there be such a boss of the company!

After lunch, Levia, along with Dinah, who was protecting Alexia, and Christine Wagner went shopping together. They were all in Denver, and they had to buy something. The All-Star Weekend brought not only a game and peripheral sales, but also many big brands took advantage of this opportunity to make a wave of money.

In the afternoon, Liu Mang went to promote Facebook, which is about to launch business across the United States.

Facebook's publicity has basically not caused any response. Now only college students commonly use it. Before the server was opened, only people with university student ID cards could use it.

Liu Mang made some publicity, and invested another 200 million US dollars in equipment expansion this year, and he didn't care about the rest. When Facebook reaches its peak market value in the future, it will be fine to sell the shares before the peak and decline.

In the evening, Liu Mang took San Niu and bodyguards to watch the rookie game.

This year's rookie game is a bit boring. The first-years saw the opposite starting lineup of James, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, and Milicic.
The best first-year players were the Eagles and Bulls. The starting lineup of Iguodala, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, and Howard played well. The two rookies of the Eagles showed their excellent physical fitness. Howard also wanted to join. Unfortunately, neither the Bulls nor the Hawks played with Howard.

Ben Gordon also belongs to Liu Mang's company, and has a good relationship with Iguodala and Josh Smith. The on-court grievances between the two teams did not carry over to the off-court.

However, the other four picks in the top five of the 03 generation played very hard because Anthony did not enter the All-Star Game. The point difference was stretched to more than 20 points at the beginning, in order to help Anthony win the rookie game MVP.

In the end, the sophomore team beat the rookie team 152 to 129. Anthony, who scored 38 points, won the MVP of this rookie game without any surprise.

……

When it was time for the triathlon on the second day, Liu Mang participated in the round table meeting at noon. In the afternoon, he got together with McGrady, James, and Wade, and went to Denver's school for disabled youth.

In the evening, I went to see Bosh's miracle of hitting a goal from the center line in the Shooting Star Challenge.

Bosh is really suitable for this game. The shooting star was very interesting, but now he feels like he will be destroyed by Bosh.

The champion of the three-point contest was won by Quentin Richardson of the Suns. Without Liu Mang, Payton, and Peja participating, the attention of the three-point contest plummeted.

The championship of the skills challenge was fought between Nash and Kidd. Nash won the victory with an absolute advantage. Just layups, and Kidd made 4 layups...the two are almost the same in other respects.

Liu Mang's teammate Josh Smith won the slam dunk contest. San Niu rested at the hotel, and Liu Mang watched the triathlon alone to cheer for Josh Smith.

After Josh Smith won the slam dunk contest, the Hawks became the only team in NBA history with three slam dunk champions.

However, because of the previous confrontation between Carter and Liu Mang, this year's slam dunk contest was once again unspectacular, and the fans didn't respond well after watching it.

Carter destroys the dunk contest again... this time with Liu Mang.

This year's All-Star Weekend, Liu Mang was really on vacation. Except for the promotional day, the rest of the time was very relaxed. This is the first time in four seasons. The previous three years were exhausting.

……

Finally, on February 2th, the highlight of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game is coming!

After waking up in the morning, Liu Mang called Prince, and the two made an appointment to have breakfast in the restaurant.

"Tayshawn, how did you do what you were asked to do?" Liu Mang asked with a stern expression.

"Boss, I'll take care of things, don't worry." Prince was rarely excited.

"Very good, you are really prudent in handling things, how is your teaching?" Liu Mang continued to ask.

Speaking of this, Prince, who usually stood indifferently even in fights, suddenly became elated: "Boss, you don't know, Shark looks bloated, but his dance skills are so good! He is so talented, he will definitely play a very good role in promoting our NBA court dance..."

Prince, as the "promoter" of NBA court dance, has a sense of mission and is teaching O'Neill very hard. Hearing that Yao Ming can dance this way, O'Neill already has a little foundation and studied hard. He is waiting to dance with Yao Ming today.

Listening to Prince's chatter, Liu Mang thought of the scene at night, and thought it was interesting!
