From Today it is the King of the Basketball

After staying at home for a few days, apart from the first day or two, my parents were still excited. Afterwards, they slowly and as usual, have a meal together, and then do their own work.

This is life. Although there was money that looked astronomical in the past, the life of Liu Mang ’s parents has not changed much, and he did not even hang Liu Mang ’s photos on the signboard to attract customers. What should I do? Live as you want, children have their own lives, and parents have their own lives.

Liu Mang took Dina and her party to play for a few days in a familiar place around their hometown. They strolled around. Although the road has changed, the attractions here have not changed much, and the protection is better. Nanhu, Xitang, Qiantang River, Meihuayuan, Haining Yanguan Resort Area, etc. have all turned around, the four-person group is indeed very eye-catching, three foreigners who can speak plus one big tall Chinese, this combination ca n’t think about it It's hard to attract attention.

Although sports stars with Chinese faces are not as eye-catching as sports stars with European and American faces, occasionally people who know Liu Mang can take photos, but they have not reached the point where they cannot travel yet.

After playing for a few days, Liu Mang said goodbye to his parents, and went on a tour with his luggage turned from eight large suitcases into simple luggage.

Dina's visa is only one month, and they can't stay that long, probably half a month, and in late July, Liu Mang will resume training and prepare for the next commercial promotion.

On July 12, Liu Mang and Dina left their home and set off to Leshan and Xi’an, which were planned before, to see the world ’s largest Buddha and terracotta warriors ...

When Liu Mang traveled back to China, the free market on the NBA side became more and more popular.

The overall structure of the Hawks has been completed, leaving only minor repairs, but the reinforcement of other championship teams continues.

The most eye-catching and active Los Angeles Lakers this summer continue to do things.

On July 15, Karl Malone rejected the two-year 16 million contract provided by the Spurs and Kings and joined the Los Angeles Lakers with a base salary of 1.5 million dollars a year.

Malone thought for a long time, choosing among the four teams of the Lakers, Hawks, Spurs and Kings. When Payton really joined the Lakers, compared to the inexperienced Eagles and direct rival Duncan in the power forward position The Spurs, who have eliminated their kings for the past two years, Malone chose the Los Angeles Lakers who just formed the Big Three.

When the Lakers held a press conference to welcome Malone, the entire basketball circle went crazy!

Kobe, O'Neal, Payton, Malone, four All-Star players in a team, this caused a sensation is unprecedented in NBA history, some fans shouted that his grandmother can take this team Win the championship.

People want to see Stockton's next decision at this time. If he also goes to the Lakers, the NBA will not be able to play next season.

But as the media explored Stockton's decision everywhere, it was discovered that Stockton seemed to have disappeared, and had no contact with the outside world.

Stockton was not strong in his original existence. Sometimes when he went out to play in the national team, others regarded him as a fan or a reporter, and his presence was too low.

...

...

Liu Mang had fun in the country, since it was a tourist to relax, Liu Mang set aside other things and took a stroll with her girl.

The Hawks are too busy.

After Malone joined the Lakers, the Hawks' pursuit of Stockton was even more fierce.

Whether you can get Stockton, but at least you can't let Stockton join the Lakers!

Now the NBA can contact Stockton, except for Stockton's wife and children, only Malone and the Hawks.

In addition to the Nets rival, the Hawks want to reach the top, the final stage is the finals.

Coach Tomjanovich ’s phrase “Do n’t underestimate the heart of a championship” has become a constant warning in the hearts of these players. Perhaps this sentence has not been greatly improved before the mid-1990s. It is the player who can impress the most. At that time, most of the players had a salary of one or two million, which was no more than the money to go to Europe to pan for gold.

But the legacy of the 1990s is still there. There are countless examples of stars who have lowered their salaries in order to win the championship. Like Malone, they also took more than 19 million salary last season. If they want to play next season, millions are normal, like 76 people. Direct They gave the 14 million a year they could pay for Malone, but Malone still chose 1.5 million for the championship.

Malone's 18-year career, in fact, only received a 4-year top salary.

The championship is the most important thing for the players now. Of course, in this era when the team is generally not making money, many team owners are running the team with a basketball-loving mentality. Anyway, they do not rely on the team. The box office makes money, so with the exception of the team next to the team that just formed the Big Four in Los Angeles, most teams work hard for the championship, no matter how far away they are, there is always a long-term Plans, such as the "process" of the 76ers in the future.

Of course, the Hawks are only so far away from the finals. The goal for next season is definitely not only to cross the Nets, but more importantly the championship!

Therefore, after Liu Mang left the United States, the Hawks did not stop the pace of signing. The center position was basically alive. Ratliff, Kwame Brown, and Mohammed can all play center, although Rashid -After Wallace reported that, after renting the house, he went back to Portland to pick up his wife. He hadn't come back after a while. The coaching staff hadn't communicated with him about the occasion of playing the center, but the center position was exaggerated. May Brown, the top-ranking champion of physical fitness, may ask for a private instructor this summer.

At the power forward position, Rashid Wallace, Boozer, and Mohammed are completely enough.

Small forward Rahim, small forward and shooting guard swingman Prince, Barnes, Korver, shooting guard Jason Terry, these two positions are also sufficient for multi-person rotation.

Instead, the biggest problem fell to the point guard position. In addition to Liu Mang, a rookie Willie Green, and from the performance of the summer league, Willie Green is more suitable for impacting the basket, and the opponents are generally taller than after college. Passing seems to be a bit bad because of limited vision, but it is quite powerful to hold the ball and break through the rim.

So Liu Mang's backup point guard is very important, and Stockton has no suspense as the first reinforcement goal.

Therefore, after Liu Mang left the United States ~ www.readwn.com ~ Coach Kruger did not stop communicating with Stockton. He once took Rahim and Jason Terry to Spokane to find Stowe. Kirton talked and ran around twice in ten days.

Coach Kruger gave Stockton enough respect. The ages of the two are not much different. In 1989, he joined the Georgia Tech jacket team at the age of 31 as a coach. The old coach is too old to retire. Coach Ruger showed outstanding coaching skills and was widely welcomed by Atlanta local fans. In 1992, he became the head coach of the Jackets. He joined the NBA in 2001 and is considered a less handsome coach, although the NBA often calls all coaches under 50 years old. Young handsome, in fact only 40 years old, four or five years older than Stockton, for the veteran Stockton, coach Kruger respects the team veteran Kevin Willis, after all, the same age people.

It's July 17th. It's been two days since Malone signed the Lakers. After the Lakers formed the Big Four, the other championship teams became more hungry for the collection of free agents. The Eagles didn't have much time to wait. Coach Grid decided to visit Stockton once more in Spokane. If they can succeed, they can only give up. The Hawks have always kept Stockton as the first backup point guard and respect Stoke. Dayton, but it ca n’t be done in such a way, seeing the quality substitutes being snatched away by other championship teams.

Coach Kruger once again contacted one of the core members of the team. This time it was replaced with Muhammad. Coach Kruger was going to take Spokane, the old man of Mohammed, with him to finally discuss with Stockton. For a moment, just about to make an appointment, the phone in Kruger's office rang.

Coach Kruger answered the phone, and within a few minutes, the team staff outside the office heard Coach Kruger's ecstatic cheers ...
