"Ace, let's have dinner at my house tonight." Maddie didn't give an answer right away.

Maddie wanted to slow down his head, but he didn't want Liu Mang to go, he wanted to go back to the room to empty his head and think about something.

It is not easy to increase the average score of one point per game, if it is 26 to 27, it is very easy, but everyone's score is capped, like this season so far, it is still relying on Liu Mang to have 10 games of 40+, including 3 times 50+, 3 times 50+ and a 61 point in 3 times, before he averaged 36.1 points per game, it is too difficult to continue to improve!

If it was really that easy, there would have been a lot of 30+ scorers per game, but in fact, players who can average more than 30 points per game in a single season have been Kobe, Iverson, Maddy, and Liu Mang since the new century, and only Jordan averaged more than 30 points per game as the scoring champion in the 90s.

As strong as O'Neal, he won two scoring titles, and the highest scoring champion scored 29.7 points in the season, and in the last dozen games, he worked hard to brush up the points, and he still had a 60 percent shooting rate in the first 65 games, and only 57 percent was left at the end of the season, and only improved from 29.4 points to 29.7 points.

Liu Mang's score has hovered between 35.9 and 36.1 points in recent times, which is normally the limit.

If you want to wave again, except for Jordan's 37.1 points, the team is so weak that it can be.

But the Eagles are now number one in the league......

Liu Mang did not refuse, and called Levia, asking her to pick up Dinah and Alexia from school and have dinner at Maddie's house tonight.

Liu Mang followed Maddie into the villa.

"Ace, you're here, I'm sorry, I'm taking care of the kids, Tracy, you go make tea for Ace." Maddie's wife, Lailunda McGrady, was changing the child's diapers when she saw Liu Mang coming and said hello.

"Ace goes to the kitchen by himself and gets what he wants, Ace has dinner at our house tonight, Lelunda, you call a chef to cook, I'll go back to the room." Maddie didn't greet Liu Mang either, they were all so familiar.

Liu Mang didn't think it was wrong, Lelunda didn't think it was wrong, the two families didn't visit the house once or twice, it was like this, the two of them took their children to Liu Mang's house Liu Mang also let them take care of themselves, of course, Levia and Alexia were much more enthusiastic than Liu Mang.

When I came to Maddie's house, because Lerenda had to take care of the children, Liu Mang really took care of myself, took a bag of black tea, boiled it for a while, put some milk and half a sugar cube, and went to the home theater to watch the King's game video.

……

When Maddie returned to her room, she sat on the toilet in the bathroom, and he had heard that this was the best place for artists to be inspired, so he came here to think about it.

Maddie was shocked by Liu Mang's "arrogance".

The last time Maddie was shocked was in February 1996, when the two participated in a high school basketball event, one junior and one senior, and Kobe Bryant said he was stronger than Jordan......

Now, Maddie has met such a guy again.

This made Maddie, who has now become a little "worldly", reawaken the purest feelings for basketball when she was a child.

Maddie leaned back on the toilet seat and wondered what she was playing for.

More money?

Maddie feels that he can't be short of money, as long as he wants, he will have the highest salary wherever he goes, plus the endorsement fee, he can earn money that he can't spend for a lifetime, and he himself is not an extravagant person.

More accolades?

I won it for a while, I won the scoring champion, as for the MVP kind of thing, in addition to the individual, luck is the most important, there is a good team, the team can play a good record without too many injuries, and the second is the individual.

With Maddie's character, he is not attached to this either.

More champions?

Maddie is on the road now, as long as he plays hard, a lineup like theirs will be the biggest favorites to win the championship in the next two or three years, and the championship is expected.

Maddie was recalled by Liu Mang's arrogance and became a little confused, what is she pursuing when she plays basketball now?

Maddie sat like that for an hour, reminiscing about what happened before she entered the NBA, that is, in high school, and recalling the purest love for basketball......

In the end, Maddie felt that she loved basketball in order to constantly surpass!

Constantly surpassing yourself? That's all for others, surpassing yourself, how can you surpass the strongest person to have a sense of achievement? Of course, if the strongest person is himself, then that's a different story.

But there is only one person who is the strongest - Michael Jordan, the god of basketball.

Maddie himself has tried to lead the team on his own, and he has a talent that may not be weaker than Jordan's, but he is born with scoliosis, which leads to a physical ceiling for him, and this ceiling also leads to the need for physical restraint whether he is training or competing.

Although Maddie did not suffer a back injury because of Liu Mang, this scoliosis is innate, and there is no way to operate on the spine, which is another forbidden area of life that modern medicine cannot make special changes to the human body in addition to the brain, and there are more people with spinal problems and half paralysis.

Maddie wants to fulfill the dream of surpassing Jordan on her own, or she will be weak defensively like she did in the Magic period, unless the team has a great interior lineman, a great outside defender, and preferably someone to help share the pressure of organizing the offense, as well as a pitcher and blue-collar ......

In the four years of Magic, he felt hopeless again and again, and understood that it was almost impossible to have such teammates to help, and not everyone had the same "luck" as Liu Mang.

And Maddie came to the Hawks on his own, basically giving up waiting.

This time, Liu Mang's wild words made Maddie see from Liu Mang what he didn't and wouldn't have if he worked hard.

The arrogant character, the execution that dares to say and do, is mainly shameless! This is what Maddie thinks is the most important, and he is embarrassed to say to a player who can win the scoring title to let him help him score points and surpass Jordan!

But this is what Maddie admires about Liu Mang the most, except for one thing in common, he and Liu Mang have nothing in common at all in most places, and people make friends, real friends, but they are all friends with very different personalities, because they need what they don't have.

Maddie saw something from Liu Mang that she couldn't learn anyway......

……

……

At half past six in the evening, it was basically dark in Atlanta in winter, and the chef invited by Lerenda had already prepared the meal, and after the table was set, Lerenda called Maddie: "Tracy, it's time to eat!" ”

"I'm here, thank you."

After Maddie answered, washed up and came to the restaurant, seeing that Liu Mang did not look anxiously waiting as he expected, but teasing his son, Maddie felt a group of crows quacking on his head: Really, aren't you afraid that I won't agree? Just so confident? But even if I don't agree, this guy won't stop, it's all 36.1 points...... O'Neal dreams of averaging 30 points per game when he is 29.4 points.

"Ace, how much do you think it costs me to renew my contract?" Maddie didn't answer Liu Mang's question, but said this.

When Liu Mang heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and it was done!

"Of course, you can ask for as much as you want! The team is not short of money. Liu Mang ate the steak and replied casually, I have to eat the oil money from the barrel of oil tonight.

"Ace, you don't need me to take a pay cut? Rashid dropped 10 million to complete the contract renewal. Maddie was surprised.

"The top salary I get now, I still have the top salary if you renew the contract with the highest salary, you cut your salary to save the team at most money, we are already paying the luxury tax, and there will be no more space to sign." Liu Mang doesn't mind that Maddie's salary will be higher than him, and Maddie's salary this season is two million more than him.

"I see, I'll call my agent and ask him to talk to the team." Maddie didn't continue to ask either, and quickly made a decision.

"Tracy, are we going to settle here? That's great! Lerenda listened to Maddie and cheered excitedly, "It's so much better than Orlando, and I don't want to move." ”

"Of course, your husband is going to earn 100 million again!" Maddie said and stood up with his wife in front of Liu Mang, and had a kiss across the table.

Liu Mang let out a disgusted "......", which made the two of them laugh.

"By the way," Liu Mang thought of one thing, and asked casually: "Who is your agent, I haven't seen it yet." ”

"Charles Banks, you've probably heard that Duncan and Hill are both players he signed, and we almost got to work together." Maddie replied.

So that's the case, Liu Mang probably knows why there was a Magic team that almost gathered the Big Three in 2000, and if the three stars belong to the same agent, it is very likely to be manipulated together.

Wait, Charles, Banks, the name...... Liu Mang is so familiar!

Isn't that the guy who cheated Duncan out of 30 million?

Liu Mang looked at Maddie, thought for a while and spoke: "Tracy, I've heard of this guy, I think you should pay attention to your account, it's him who helps you manage your money!" ”

Liu Mang said it very tactfully, but the meaning was very clear, Maddie's eyes stared at Liu Mang: "Ace, you mean ......"

……

……

"Tracy, let's go bankrupt!" Liu Mang comforted.

Coming to the arena in the morning to prepare for the game against the Bobcats in the evening, Liu Mang saw Maddie's expression of not entering, it was very rare, and his cousin had lost so much money.

"Break the fortune and avoid disaster? Do you have a Chinese proverb? It's interesting. Maddie smiled, what else could she do.

"We call it an idiom there, read it with me, eat Encheng, and speak ...... Forget it, you can think of it as a dialect or a proverb. Liu Mang was troublesome, so he taught himself to give up.

After receiving Liu Mang's prompt last night, Maddie hired a financial lawyer to investigate his account, only to know that he had lost more than 3 million US dollars in his account for more than seven years, almost all the money earned by Maddie's rookie contract, of course, it was a deficit every year for seven years, and with more and more financial funds, the more the deficit.

The reason given by Banks was a financial error, but he did not give the details of the investment, at the beginning it was less than 100,000 a year, and then signed a big contract with the Magic for hundreds of thousands less a year, and Maddie didn't pay much attention to it, but now the lawyer has taken a look at the existing investment channels, almost all of them are treasury bonds and funds, and they are all value-preserving financial products, this deficit can't be said, and the lawyer bluntly said that Maddie was deceived.

Maddie was about to sue Banks, but the lawyer's opinion was that there was no way to complete the lawsuit quickly, and such a lawsuit usually took a year or two, and it would definitely not get all the money back in the end.

After Maddie called Liu Mang overnight to tell him about it, Liu Mang could only comfort Maddie to change his agent and deal with this matter later, Liu Mang remembered that it took a whole year for Duncan to retire and concentrate on fighting the lawsuit, and he only had to get back a quarter of the money, 30 million to 7.5 million.

Liu Mang remembered that Maddie was going to change his agent, but it was not this incident, but his agent and the company that sold the plane sold him a plane, which caused him to be attacked by public opinion, and the media also broke the news that his agent took a kickback of 1 million US dollars, and then was fired by Maddie.

It seems that it was originally the summer of '04, but this time Maddie came to Atlanta, which was too far away from Space City, and he did not agree to renew his contract, and his agent could not sell the plane to him.

Liu Mang thinks that Maddie is really lucky sometimes, bought a plane and fired this vampire, not like Duncan, whose 20-year career was eaten away by 30 million US dollars, or because his wife had to split up the family after cheating, he found out that he was cheated of 30 million, otherwise he would not know about retirement.

"I fired Banks, Fagan, Pelinka, Falck all called me, who do I meet with first?" Maddie also put that matter aside and asked Liu Mang's opinion, these three agents are the three most powerful agents in the NBA now.

"They? Tracy, why don't you meet up with Jeff Schwartz, here's his phone. Liu Mang was already ready to make Maddie's money, and he was excited when he thought about it, he had already contacted Schwartz last night and gave Maddie the business card.

"Schwartz? What is your agency? Maddie immediately understood Liu Mang's careful thoughts.

"He's great." Liu Mang said directly.

It's not that he is pitting Maddie, he is telling the truth, Schwartz is such a great agent, or a thick hairstyle, even if he doesn't meet him, ten years later, Schwartz will still become the most powerful agent in the NBA, and it is not ordinary to have 40 players under his hands in 2018, let's just say that more than 20 players with an annual salary of at least 10 million yuan and more than 10 agents of All-Star players can be compared with David Falke, who once controlled half of the NBA's resources, Only Rich Paul of James' company and Bill Dufy, who got a $150 million contract for Conley, are barely on par.

"Okay, tomorrow morning Ace, you let him come to my house, don't mention this yet, it's sad to think about it, I've known Banks for eight years, and he actually lied to me," Maddie didn't agree directly, but had to decide for herself, he changed the topic and said: "Ace, don't you want to surpass Jordan?" Let's start tonight, just in time to play Jordan's team. ”

"Of course, starting tonight!"
