From Today it is the King of the Basketball

As the time flew to the end of August, the Hawks players have returned to Atlanta one after another.

It was not Liu Mang who first returned to Atlanta to train, but came to Atlanta to rent a house in Stockton at the end of July. He came to Atlanta early to prepare for next season.

Although Stockton, who was born in 62, is 41 years old and a full year and a half older than Malone, he still wants to make his own contribution to the team, and he also played in 27 minutes last season. With an average of 11 points, 7.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game, the strength still exists. If Shuangsha continues to play together in the Jazz, people will not have much problem in the playoffs.

Liu Mang returned to Atlanta on August 16 and took a two-day break before joining Stockton's training.

Back to the team, there is Stockton's more experienced physical ability to keep the master with training, and Stockton's shooting is also excellent, and Chip-England provides Liu Mang with a lot of good Suggest.

However, by the end of August, after Boozer also returned to team training, Liu Mang obviously felt that he was "out of favor". Stockton was very interested in guiding Boozer, mainly because Liu Mang progressed too fast, every time When he found his shortcomings, he went crazy in training. The speed of the shooting made Stockton unable to keep up with the speed of finding Liu Mang's shortcomings. Stockton still gave this kind of thing to Chip-England. The people went to guide, and went to teach Boozer to pick and roll.

Stockton was amazed by the talent of Liu Mang's efforts. He was also a synonym for hard work, but he completely polished his COSCO shot, and it took five full seasons to formally become the league at the age of 27. Top pitcher, Liu Mang is just turning his age ...

As for Boozer, he was surprised why Stockton would take extra care of him. Liu Mang was also surprised. Stockton did not meet Boozer a few times. How did he teach patiently as he saw his pro-son? Liu Mang was a little jealous, so he asked Boozer to do chores and bullied Boozer.

However, it was just a joke. As time came to September, all the teammates came back.

He returned to the team from the end of August to the beginning of September. For most ordinary stars, the time can be said to be very early. The veterans of the Hawks who stayed before the team were defeated by the Eastern Conference for two consecutive years. The finals are very motivated, and the newly added Kwame Brown, Korver, Willie Green and others are in order to improve themselves quickly and have a place in the team.

From now on, it seems that the team has 14 players, and each position has sufficient staffing. In the case of only 12 activation lists, of the three of them, it is certain that someone will wear a suit for a long time, even if they enter The 12-man roster may not necessarily be able to enter the regular rotation. It is critical for them to start training early to let the coaching staff notice their efforts and strength.

...

"Ace, are you sure this guy won't bite me?" Jason Terry looked at Rashid Wallace, who had a good time talking with Rahim, and was still very worried. Rashid Wallace was present. When you play football, it's just like biting.

Although Liu Mang repeatedly promised that Rashid Wallace was a good person, Rahim also proved this point. That was when he introduced Liu Mang to Rashid Wallace, although the way was a little “special”.

In that game, Liu Mang had just cheated Rashid Wallace twice and was sent off for a technical foul. Raheem worried that Liu Mang and Rashid Wallace would be wicked. Everyone is a friend, so they watched the opera. 'S ticket was given to Liu Mang.

With the assurances of Raheem and Liu Mang, most of the Hawks are acceptable to Rasheed Wallace, mainly because this guy is rumored to be too bad, and the performance on the court is too exaggerated.

"Rest assured, Rashid generally only hits people, not bites. By the way, he likes to bully people who are less than one meter nine in height. If he is tall, he can't bully." Liu Mang finished the game with a basket. Just run.

"... Ace, it's tickling again, right! Stop! Don't run!"

The daily double waves make trouble for teammates who are uneasy and look forward to the start of next season.

For Rashid Wallace, the Hawks players' first impression of this time is still good. First of all, just after moving, they came to the team to report the day after they moved. They are very active in basketball.

And although he looks like Boozer, he is grinning privately and does not play big names. He can speak with a few rookies who have just arrived. It seems that he is closer to Boozer. The boss's face plus bald head plus poker expression is really too intimidating.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry have been fighting for a while, and the teammates can't help but especially the new players. It feels very good for the Hawks atmosphere.

The good team atmosphere brought about by the hard work of a group of frustrated people like the Hawks is very rare in the NBA. Even Stockton, who plays in the championship team of the year After experiencing this team atmosphere, seeing Jason Terry and Liu Mang being "squeezed" to the bench by Liu Mang can't help but sigh.

After Liu Mang was too tired to run Jason Terry, he frowned at Jason Terry proudly. At this time, Liu Mang saw Mike Woodson and his agent Schwartz taking a face A very familiar person walked to the general manager's office.

Jose Calderon!

In the future when the 03 generation is sorted, Calderon is ranked ninth in the 03 generation.

Speaking of Liu Mang, if the 03 generation, if James had reported a group, it was really pitiful. Except for the four heroes except Milicic in the top five, other players basically failed to emerge in the NBA. The spray comes.

Starting from the four heroes, the 03 generation fell into a different position, directly from the super giant ranks to the first-class stars and even the quasi-first-class stars. Except for the four heroes, the most accomplished player of the 03 generation is David West , Then the second-round pick Korver who had a 60+ win in the Hawks, then Mo Williams and Carman, and then the ninth and tenth were Jose Calderon and Boris. -Dior.

The draft of the 03 generation can be said to be cliff-shaped. Except for the top five picks, the latter are not in a grade at all. Unlike the generations 84 and 96, the two generations of stars have era superstars, super giants, top stars, and top class Stars ... There are players of all grades.

Mike Woodson and Schwartz saw Liu Mang looking at them and took Calderon to Liu Mang to say hello. Mike Woodson introduced Liu Mang to him: "Ais, this is us Our new teammate, Spaniard, Jose Calderon, let ’s sign the contract first, and when you hold a press conference for your contract renewal later, you call on your teammates to support the scene. ”

"Ais, this is a newly signed player of our company, take care of him more." Schwartz recommended Calderon to Liu Mang.

Calderon? What Calderon got from our team?

Liu Mang nodded in amazement, then recalled which team chose Calderon, and then thought of the last round of the second round from the first pick. After thinking for a long time, I found that no team chose Karl. Deron!

This career three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, a total of more than 1,000 three-point quality shooter players, the first time in his career for the first time in the third season, he started with a solid big heart point guard with 8+ assists per game. , Was actually a draft pick!

Liu Mang didn't notice that Calderon was actually a draft pick!

Liu Mang really admires Schwartz's vision of finding talents from the falling draft. Although most of the players selected by Schwartz's draft are not mixed, but the mining of frustrated players is indeed true. Have a hand!

correct! Liu Mang hurried to Stockton, and Stockton didn't always dismiss my old Liu as he scored more than a pass. Didn't he succeed him?

Steady shot, big heart, first pass ... Is n’t this the best person in Stockton! Recommend a disciple to Stockton!

...

On September 5, Rashid Wallace finally moved his family to Atlanta, and reached an agreement with the Hawks to renew the contract.

In the afternoon, the Eagles held a press conference to welcome the players who joined and renewed the contract.

Rashid Wallace, Stockton, Willie Green, Korver, Calderon, just signed, Kwame Brown, who just traded, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Rashid Wallace ’s three newly renewed contracts are the protagonists of this press conference.

Regardless of how the outside world commented, the Hawks ushered in a true All-Star strength player, of course, to treat Rashid Wallace with the specifications of welcoming superstars.

The same is the welcome ceremony for Stockton.

The renewal of Liu Mang and others is also the focus.

As for Korver, Kwame Brown and others joining, it is the foil.

The NBA is such a cruel place. Without strength, it can only serve as a foil.

At the same time, I would like to express my gratitude to Dean Grove, Newbell, Chris Crawford and others who left the Hawks for their contributions to the team.

As for Rahim, Boozer, Prince, Ratliff, Kevin Willis, Barnes, Mohammed, etc. who had nothing to do with them, they also came to the scene to support the scene and let the media Feel the unity of their own team.

Owner Price told the team's official words, took the jersey handed over by the staff, No. 36 to Rashid Wallace, No. 12 to Stockton ...

For the taste of the teammates choosing the jersey number, I think it's okay. Isn't there any wonderful jersey? But when Kwame Brown came, the exotic flower came.

Looking at the No. 38 jersey received by Kwame Brown, Liu Mang looked so painful, probably American but Women's Day, Liu Mang was curious about the day of American Women's Day ...

After the joining ceremony, the Hawks announced two renewals.

With a starting salary of $ 8.1 million, Jason Terry signed a six-year, 56 million renewal contract. As Jason Terry wished, the salary will exceed $ 10 million in the fourth year. .

Liu Mang ’s renewal contract is simple. With a 4-year starting salary of 12.25 million US dollars, a total salary of 55 million US dollars, the renewal intention was reached in advance. The contract will be officially renewed in the summer of 2004. The first three contracts The year is fixed, the fourth year player options, if the team still needs to operate next summer, Liu Mang ’s official renewal can be postponed to avoid occupying the team ’s salary space

I am very satisfied with the renewal of the Hawks and Liu Mang. The Hawks are because Liu Mang ’s next contract expires in 2007. You can build the team around Liu Mang with peace of mind. He got a relatively short contract. The total income of the NBA is increasing year by year, and the salary cap is increased by several million every year. The contract is shorter, and the contract renewed will be bigger when the time comes.

Liu Mang is now starting to run out of money again. When he returned to China for publicity, Schwartz's side was more than just following Liu Mang to play. When the publicity announcement was confirmed, Schwartz actually had nothing to do, and Liu Mang was The Chinese, unlike other NBA players, need agents to communicate various matters, he can live well himself, Liu Mang called Schwartz together, mainly to make Schwartz as a foreign investor, give Liu Mang registered a rental company and bought a lot of school district houses and shops that are now cheap enough to make Liu Mang laugh.

At present, the school district housing in the Imperial City is less than 3,000 square meters, and the school district housing of more than 80 square meters is only 300,000 yuan.

Liu Mang's after-tax money he received on July 1st was about 13 million US dollars, that is, about a hundred million yuan, so Schwartz's side thought "Migrant workers who can't afford a house to work in the city For the reason of "low rent", it took more than 70 million yuan to register a house rental company, which took away 200 sets of school districts across Beijing.

Of course, these houses are rented out, and the current rent is only a few hundred thousand yuan a month, but Liu Mang does not care about this rent, but the house price that almost doubles every year in the future!

Therefore, Liu Mang ’s goal for the leasing company is to keep the normal business operation of the rent. It is not a matter of helping the workers who bring their children to work in the city.

As for shops, Liu Mang failed to buy much. Many people did not see the room for the rise of housing, but the value of commodities has always been the most valued by major real estate developers. Liu Mang ’s small money is far from the same, and the main investment is also Only in the imperial capital, as for other places, there is really no money.

It is precisely because of this that when the house rental company registered by Liu Mang was exposed as the real boss, he did not cause any criticism, but also because he promised to rent it to migrant workers with cheap rent in the future. In an interview, he also praised Liu Mang's help for working farmers.

The main reason is that in this year, the average monthly salary of the imperial capital was only 2,000. At any time, you ca n’t afford a house by working. If you can buy so many houses, you can rent them to migrant workers at relatively low prices. Good thing, Liu Mang got a good reputation for this still in the imperial capital, which is an unexpected joy.

As for not being able to have more investment opportunities, such as joining a domestic e-commerce company, I only bought 1 million US dollars in stock when Alibaba financed it, and I could n’t grab the rest. Liu Mang did n’t care too much. It is a point to earn a little.

Rashid Wallace also renewed his contract with the Hawks in advance with a five-year 50 million renewal contract. This renewal was directly reached. The contract for Rashid Wallace is more than 1600 next season. Ten thousand, the space occupied after the end of the season is only $ 9.1 million in the first year of the next contract. Renewal of the contract will instead benefit the team ’s free market operation after the end of next season.

The decline of Rashid Wallace ’s value is certain, mainly because of his reputation. In the Blazers, he does n’t like defense, and he is grumpy on the court. Because of the problem of salary cuts and poor teammates, he has made his market. The value is greatly damaged.

Then came the routine interview.

The media seem to feel that the Hawks players' attention and welcome to Rashid Wallace is completely different from the attitude when the Big Dog joined last year. When the Big Dog joined last year, the preseason began, but the press release None of the teammates came.

This makes the media feel very uncomfortable! Okay, another conflict broke out?

After the interview started, the media first launched an offensive against Coach Kruger.

"Coach Kruger, I heard that the introduction of Wallace was your idea. Don't you worry that Wallace's excessive technical fouls on the court will affect the team?"

As soon as I came up, it was very cruel. When Rashid Wallace's technical foul problem was not solved ~ www.readwn.com ~ This problem is very unsolvable!

But coach Kruger thought about the answer long ago: "I think our team is too gentle and needs someone who brings us a positive influence, and I believe Rashid will restrain his temper, I ca n’t Indifferent when he has a chance to get the best power forward in the league. "

Rashid Wallace was ashamed of these words. When did he become the first power forward in his family, and he didn't even rank himself in the ranking of the four power forwards.

The media's answer to Coach Kruger has only one idea-hard talk!

Can't you see whether it is fans or the media or experts who are unsightly to introduce Rashid Wallace!

People think that the Hawks are not as honest as they are waiting for Liu Mang and Boozer to continue to improve.

Can't pry open Kruger's mouth, the media launched an offensive towards Liu Mang: "Ais, what do you think of Wallace's joining?"

The media feel that Liu Mang should be disgusted by this troublesome teammate after experiencing the big dog incident last season!

And Liu Mang's answer was: "Rashid joins, oh ... oh my **** ..."

Liu Mang's expression seemed to be very desperate, very sad, and made the media feel happy. This guy who loves to do things seems to be able to dig out something.

The media looked at Liu Mang with urgent eyes

Liu Mang continued: "We already have Carlos, who is such a terrible teammate, and a Rashid. I feel that our team's face value has reached a new low!"

Yan value, that is, the score of appearance, the word came out for the first time is quite new, but the media did not care at all to come up with a new word ... Liu Mang actually cares that the team's value is lowered!

Have you made a mistake!

Not only did the media want to vomit blood, but Boozer and Rashid Wallace also wanted to vomit blood ...
