On the night of November 25th, after the game between the Hawks and the Cavaliers, his teammates all took a shower and some of them didn't even take a shower, and went out to play in a nightclub in Atlanta. The name of the prodigal son is very famous in future nightclubs or similar nightclubs in China and the United States, although this flower has bloomed a little too much, and the petals have fallen a little early.

After his teammates left, James stayed in the locker room for a while, and he had to be interviewed later, he was probably the only star on the Cavaliers who could get his hands on it, and the others didn't pay as much attention as Liu Mang's former teammate Newbell.

I took out a small notebook hidden at the bottom of the backpack that no one knew about, not even my own mother, and flipped through the pages that had already been written.

Stayed until the last page I had written, which was written about Ricky Davis telling him to carry a bag, which turned out to be a diary after entering the NBA, but it seemed that all the things that were written down were unpleasant.

James flipped to a blank page, crouched in the corner and silently began to write in his diary.

Date: November 25, 2003.

Weather: Sunny.

Mood: Sunny to cloudy, sunny to cloudy, to thunderstorm.

I received a call from my agent this morning and I became one of the future faces of the NBA headquarters, and I was excited and happy, but a little worried.

But when it came to playing against the Eagles in the evening, I felt a lot of warmth...... But! It's all fake! Fake! Those people are all demons! Bullying ......"

……

In the game that just ended, James was defended by the Hawks with a 1-of-9 shot, and the only goal in the athletic battle was a no-ball offensive cut to score two points, plus 7 free throws and 3 of them, James scored 5 points, 3 boards, 2 assists, 3 fouls and 6 turnovers.

James played half the game, played a total of 17 minutes, as soon as James played, he was targeted by the Hawks, as long as James was there, the Hawks didn't care about anyone else, they locked James.

In turn, Liu Mang played 22 minutes in the half, got 23 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, completely crushed James, the most important thing is the shooting percentage, a large number of counterattacks, Liu Mang shot 8 of 11, pressing Youzhan to the ground and rubbing.

The strength of the Cavaliers is really poor, originally they also had a Boozer, and together with Big Z, they could open up space for James and receive passes, but now there is only one Big Z.

Big Z has never been a real All-Star player, except when there is no one at the center position in the East, it is a little difficult for him to get close to the edge of the All-Star, except for the rookie season in the 97-98 season, he played a playoff with Sean Kemp, and never led the team to the playoffs at other times, even if the team has Andre Miller, the assist king, even when the Cavaliers are bad, he has not played too well, and the statistics are average, as can be seen from the fact that the highest score in his career so far is 29 points, In the case of a weak interior in the East, he averaged about 15 points, 7 or 8 rebounds per game.

Big Z's low-post offense is acceptable, but when he encounters Ratliff, he can only rest and can only float in the middle and long distances, and he has a certain accuracy, but at most he can keep himself, and the performance is not too ugly.

When everyone in the Hawks rubbed against James, the rest of the Cavaliers could score, but as far as Liu Mang's singles were concerned, James couldn't prevent them at all, and he could chase the counterattack, but after Liu Mang made two fouls, he didn't dare to chase anymore, the strongest point of the Cavaliers was a rookie, this rookie was locked, everyone else scored blindly, and the Hawks easily took the lead on the offensive end.

The gap between the strength of the two teams is too big, which is also why the league does not make it clear that it creates confrontation between the two teams, and now the two teams are not at the same level at all.

James was not replaced in the second half, Coach Paul Silas originally wanted James to try to be strong with the Hawks, one of the two strongest teams in the East, so that James could feel the pressure, but he didn't expect the Hawks to put James to death, James didn't dare to hold the ball in the back, and the Hawks frantically wrapped up in him.

Because James was very emotionally controlled, he didn't show too much on the court, and when he returned to the locker room, Paul Silas saw that James was about to collapse, and he didn't dare to replace James in the second half.

The Hawks went 51-30 at halftime, and there was no suspense at all.

Liu Mang scored 23 points in the half, clocking out and maintaining about 25 points per game, and the Hawks finally easily won three consecutive home games 102-77, improving their record to 11-3.

……

The post-game interview undoubtedly disappointed many America-first media, but Liu Mang was originally the best young player since 2000, and James's personal image was maintained very well, and James didn't get too much trouble, and Liu Mang got a wave of praise.

No one is surprised that the Hawks are targeting James, and James may want to target James from all the teams that have done the Cavaliers in the future.

The Hawks and Cavaliers started this game very early, it was the earliest game in all the games arranged today, the kind that was not broadcast live as early as China, it started at five o'clock in the afternoon, the game was over, the press conference ended, today's game was played easily, there was no additional physiotherapy time, and the players of both teams went to play separately before nine o'clock.

Dinah pestered Liu Mang to go to the park, saying that it was a park, but in fact, it was the commercial area of the Six Nations Park, and you could see the performances of the NBA court dance that is becoming more and more popular and even the street dance troupe has joined.

Liu Mang couldn't stand the grinding and agreed, but thinking of James's appearance of lowering his head and not speaking when he was interviewed after the game just now, Liu Mang felt that he had bullied rookie Zhan too much!

Don't do it!

Liu Mang knows that the players who can be regarded as superstars of the times in the future, in addition to Kobe Bryant, who is about to become a superstar of the times, the next one is James, and the stars after that, although they are also very powerful, but they all have a qualitative gap with James, Liu Mang doesn't want a future opponent to be ruined by himself like this, so how boring the future is.

Just like James's reluctance to play against Kobe Bryant during the All-Star Weekend before Kobe Bryant's retirement, Liu Mang also wants to play against the strongest opponent, and now James is still tender, and it is estimated that he will not pose a threat in the next two years, but I am still very excited to play against James after 07.

"I'll call James and go shopping together!" Liu Mang proposed.

"Ace, your conscience has been discovered? Bullied James so badly today. ”

"yes, the first rookie was teased by you like this, will he agree to go shopping with you?"

Levia and Alexia thought that James was played by the Eagles and didn't dare to touch the ball, and felt that James was really pitiful when they met Liu Mang.

"Try it, I don't think he will be beaten down like this, I believe he is strong enough inside!" Liu Mang's performance of standing and talking without backache attracted a burst of laughter and scolding from Levia and Alexia.

"Uncle, is that old first-in-line rookie really a high school student?" At this time, Dinah suddenly burst into words.

“…… Probably...... "Liu Mang didn't expect that children would think that James was old......

Seeing that the three of them did not object, Liu Mang dialed James's phone.

"LeBron, let's go, let's go play?" Liu Mang is as enthusiastic as ever.

"I'm not going, I'm not old enough." James on the other end of the phone arrogantly refused.

"Not old enough? Is there an age limit for shopping and drinking? ”

"Shopping?"

"You just say you can't go!"

"I'll go!"

……

After a bit of arrogance, James still agreed, and silently wrote down this feud in a small notebook, James regained his "mature" appearance, implying that his game is a game, and his personal friendship cannot be destroyed because of the game, and at the same time he wants to know whether Liu Mang and others' previous enthusiasm is real or fake.

James packed his bag and went to the staff parking lot of Phillips Arena with his backpack on his back, and saw the "Liu Mang family" chatting happily with the Rashid Wallaces.

"Hey, LeBron, you're too slow!" Liu Mang shouted at James.

James trotted over: "Sorry, sorry. ”

"Come on, LeBron, introduce you to ......"

"Dinah is here to introduce! Dinah is here to introduce! ”

Liu Mang was just about to introduce Dinah and Levia to James and others, but a little Lori with bad intentions took the initiative to rush to introduce.

"Okay, okay, you introduce."

"Hello, Uncle James, my name is Dinah, I am my father's daughter, this is my mother Levia, this is my teacher Aida, this is Uncle Wallace, this is Uncle Wallace's wife Linna......" Dinah enthusiastically introduced James, and every time there was a new friend of Liu Mang, she rushed to introduce it.

Liu Mang knew that this little Lori was not well-intentioned! Helplessly, he complained: "Dinah, my surname is Liu, and your surname is Savisia!" ”

"That's right, Dinah has her mother's last name!"

“……”

After the introduction, everyone who saw James for the first time shook hands with James.

Watching James greet Dinah, Levia, Alexia and Lena Wallace, who is Rashid Wallace's wife, Liu Mang felt a little embarrassed, inexplicably embarrassed.

Just now Rashid Wallace came out of physiotherapy, and just happened to meet Liu Mang and others after calling James, Levia and Alexia and Lena Wallace chatted at once, and heard that they were going to the Six Nations Park, so they took Rashid Wallace with them.

Liu Mang didn't know what kind of embarrassment James was, but it was inexplicably embarrassed anyway.

After getting into the car, James sat in Liu Mang's co-pilot seat and looked out the window, his heart dripping blood: "Uncle...... Uncle...... What a screaming brother! Am I that old! ”

……

Originally, James would have thought that it was two old men who were awkward, but he didn't expect Liu Mang to bring his family! And it's two big beauties and a child! James's own mother gave birth to him at the age of fifteen, according to his mother, his father was about the same age, and he got pregnant at the age of fourteen, and he was incapable and responsible, so he ran away very irresponsibly, and he didn't feel strange that Liu Mang had a child.

And the Rashid-Wallaces came, and James didn't think there was too much of a problem, anyway, it was socializing.

James thought that Liu Mang would take him to some high-end shopping mall to buy luxury goods, and he was ready to swipe his card and rush to pay.

However, Liu Mang and his entourage took him to a small commodity area in a park!

Bought some snacks, some drinks, and came to the square of Rokkoku Park!

James didn't expect to come to such a place!

Liu Mang and Rashid Wallace are both very popular in Atlanta right now, especially in this plaza in Six Nations Park, where Liu Mang is close to the low position of having a "field tyrant", and the square dance grandmaster is no joke.

Fortunately, Americans have relatively more time to see big stars, and now it is not a championship parade to win the championship, people saw Liu Mang cheering, but did not rush up, but continued to dance, sing, sing, of course, more hard.

James looked at Liu Mang and others who were playing with ordinary people in disbelief, Liu Mang's family was fine, mainly because Rashid Wallace, the Nicholas Rashid dancer, directly integrated into the square dance army with his wife!

Everything made James feel the feeling before he became famous!

Now many of James's so-called "friends and brothers" in the past want to come to him to get a piece of the pie and spend some money, some relatives who have never appeared before, all want to take advantage, slowly, James is so willing to contact the old friends before, take the initiative to stammer, he gradually chose to stay away, of course, there are also a small number of old friends who sincerely congratulate him on his success, and did not make excessive demands, and did not even treat him differently when he became rich and became a star, this kind of friend James took the initiative to be good to them, Send a car and give a gift or something.

Watching Rashid Wallace dancing happily, Liu Mang's family was also happy to watch, Dinah pouted Liu Mang to dance too, Liu Mang had already sworn that he would not jump to death, but he could find something else to do.

Liu Mang went to chat with the buddy who was playing the drum kit next to him, and borrowed his drum kit and audio equipment.

"Hey, LeBron, Rashid, Linna, let's play together! Lavia, Aida, and Dinah are here too! Liu Mang called everyone.

A lot of space was deliberately given to these stars.

James went up curiously, what do you want to play?

"Rashid, as the Atlanta version of the dancing king Nicholas Zhao Si...... Bah, you're the king of the dance, you lead the dance, teach Lina and Levia how to dance! Liu Mang assigned the task.

Rashid Wallace was very happy with the word dancing king, but he asked suspiciously: "Ace, who is Nicholas Zhao Si?" ”

"Uh...... One of our famous Chinese dancers, you don't know it! Liu Mang's twilight flickered.

Rashid Wallace didn't notice so much, and compared it to the famous Chinese dancing king, although it is true that I don't know who the Chinese dancing king is, but the name is still good.

James was curious about what his role was, and Liu Mang stuffed the microphone into his hand: "LeBron, will you rap?" I'm going to beat you guys! ”

James turned out to be mic, and a little shy!

Liu Mang tried the drum kit, and the ordinary professional drum kit skill was triggered, and he felt as if he was too familiar with the drum kit to be familiar with it, bang, and then found a suitable rhythm, knocking repeatedly, and from time to time a fierce one.

Rashid Wallace figured out the rhythm and began to swing freely with the rhythm, not to mention, Rashid Wallace danced really well, the mechanical dance was in good shape, not only the four girls who came to play together began to follow along, but the surrounding onlookers also began to learn.

James was shy for a moment, organized the language, and began to rap.

The lyrics read: "I'm coming to Atlanta tonight, the Hawks players are terrible, but I'm never going to be beaten, I'm just not strong enough right now, I'll come here again in the future and challenge ......"

Americans are more direct, and James's straightforward lyrics have instead drawn cheers......

Tonight, the plaza at Six Nations Park in Atlanta reached its climax......

……

……

At 12 o'clock in the evening, James's agent came to pick him up and returned to the hotel, on the one hand, he didn't want to trouble Liu Mang to send him so late, and the second aspect was that the agent was frightened when he saw James not returning to the hotel in the middle of the night, thinking that James was abused by Liu Mang and others so much that he couldn't think about it, mainly because the phone couldn't get through, the Six Nations Park was too noisy, and the mobile phone ringtone couldn't be heard at all.

Back in his room, James took a shower, took out the small notebook at the bottom of his bag again, and flipped to the last page he had written a few hours earlier.

Looking at the words he wrote at the end, such as demons and bad guys, James thought for a moment, and did not cross out these words, but filled in a sentence at the end.

"But they're really good people, and that's the NBA, isn't it?"
