"Christine, take a picture of me and Avril Lavigne......"

"Dinah too!"

"We're going to do it alone."

“……”

“……”

There is no chance to be alone on Valentine's Day, at least for the past two years, Alexia watched Liu Mang take a bunch of photos with her daughter on Valentine's Day, and said with a smile: "You have an old Chinese saying that your daughter is the lover of her previous life, and Ace has interpreted this sentence very well." ”

"Ahem," Liu Mang was also a little embarrassed, but then he had a bad idea and said, "Aida, there is still the second half of this sentence, you must not have heard it." ”

"And the second half of the sentence?" Alexia asked curiously.

"Avril was my lover in my last life, and you are the courier......"

"Courier?"

"yes, the delivery."

"You're going to die, you're ......"

After a while, looking at the little Lori who was full of dog food and holding Avril with a disdainful look on the side, Liu Mang controlled his actions and didn't do anything to Alexia, and almost did something that shouldn't be done in front of Little Lori.

The main reason is that the schedule was tight for a period of time, and neither Levia nor Alexia spent the night in the same room with Liu Mang, for fear of affecting Liu Mang's physical strength, Liu Mang was already hungry and thirsty, and when many of his teammates had already gone to Las Vegas in advance, Liu Mang returned to Atlanta first.

As of today, the All-Star Weekend holiday begins.

For the Eagles, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to relax after a long drought.

Holding the All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas can be regarded as Marion's home field, Marion is a graduate of the University of Nedahua, the largest campus of the University of Nevada is in Las Vegas, although Marion only played here for one year in his junior year, but in this year, Marion was selected to the second team of the All-American team and became the ninth overall pick, which left a deep impression on the fans of the casino.

Marion has a lot of fans in Las Vegas, although there are not many people there, and it didn't help Marion to be selected as an All-Star, but Marion is also half of the host, and if the Hawks players want to watch the All-Star Weekend, Marion will be responsible for the food, accommodation and transportation in Las Vegas.

On February 14, Liu Mang did not leave for Las Vegas, so he rested at home for a day.

Compared with the past few years, Liu Mang has fewer activities during this year's All-Star Weekend, and Schwartz has helped him push off most of the activities.

Liu Mang chose Schwartz at the beginning, what he liked was Schwartz's reputation in later generations, he would not exhaust the players for the commission, of course, there was no such ruthlessness, Schwartz would have been quite depressed if he hadn't met Liu Mang, but he didn't fall, and after accumulating a good reputation, he became the future NBA's first agent.

This year, Liu Mang only had the promotion of Ace V's signature shoes on February 16 and 17, the promotion of Facebook, the promotion of Very Coke, and the promotional photo shoot of an airline, so there were no other activities, not as tired as in the past few years.

……

After a day of rest at home, on February 15th, Liu Mang's family, who had packed a large bunch of luggage, took a charter flight and went to the casino.

This All-Star is full of very different feelings.

In other words, this season, the feeling for the fans is very different!

One word to describe the fans' impression of the season so far...... That is - radical!

The All-Star break is here, but the management of many teams in the league is entering the busiest hour.

On the afternoon of the 15th, Liu Mang's family went to a villa hotel in Las Vegas, and according to the usual practice, they did not go to live with other All-Stars, rookies, and eventing players, and rented a villa by themselves.

On the second day of the holiday, Liu Mang saw a lot of news about the movement of players.

On the SuperSonics' side, Sharad Lewis insisted on a salary cap when he was talking to management about a contract extension.

The league has 29 players averaging 20+ per game this year, and the SuperSonics originally accounted for two of them, Ray Allen and Lewis both averaged 22 points per game, Ray Allen is over 30 years old, and the SuperSonics sent him away, but originally wanted to keep the core partnership of Francis and Sharad Lewis, but if the salary is capped...... Sharad Lewis has also played for nine years, and the maximum salary will be as high as 6 years and close to 120 million, the new owner of SuperSonics can't afford it, and he has just changed his new owner, and the new owner has been hollowed out of capital by buying the team and financing the construction of a new arena in Oklahoma City, at most he will survive the luxury tax for this year, and he can't pay it next year, so he can only put Rashard Lewis on the shelf.

But at this time, Liu Mang felt that it was difficult for the supersonic to exchange Lewis for a good return, and it was estimated that he could only wait until the summer, when Lewis's contract expired, he signed first and then exchanged for a little chip, with Lewis's three-point ability, he is now more valued for three points than the original time and space, and Lewis can get the top salary wherever he goes.

Trade rumors about some players from both the Nets and Pistons are rife.

Since last summer, the teams that are aiming for the title have been trading aggressively, all trying to improve themselves as much as possible, but this season has also made it a huge soap opera.

Those who can send stars out in exchange for chips have been sent out, and those who haven't been sent out have been rubbed for most of the season, and they are approaching the trade deadline, and they still can't be sent.

Because the teams that want to strengthen have squandered their salary space in the summer, and other teams that want stars are unwilling to give too much return, and more importantly, for the top three picks in the '07 draft, the bad team doesn't want to get stronger.

It's like the same madness in the summer of 1998 and the summer of 2002, when the Hawks took a big dog with the crazy league, and this season because of the Hawks' waning period after three consecutive championships, the rest of the teams went crazy.

……

"Ace, we're going to fight again, how about it, are you looking forward to it?" Yao Ming laughed, that is called an obscenity.

"I'm looking forward to it, and you'll just have to be happy until All-Star Weekend is over." Liu Mang glanced at Yao Ming.

Just won one game, and then I got up!

Up to now, Yao Ming has averaged 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.9 assists per game this season, and his average playing time is 31 minutes per game.

Also on the lookout are the Lakers' "husband and wife pair".

Compared with Kobe and Yao Ming, Kobe and Gasol have a more tacit understanding, the kind of tacit understanding that is born, such a tacit understanding, makes Kobe and Sangao cooperate quite well.

Kobe Bryant's scoring has dropped a lot so far, averaging 25 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game.

Gasol averaged 16 points, 11 boards and 4.1 assists per game, went on a date with his hip girlfriend and went to Odom, who did not come to Liu Mang's "Chinese New Year's Eve party", averaging 13 points, 9 boards and 3.3 assists per game, and the Lakers' four core performances were very coquettish.

Matt Barnes, the former Hawks defensive giant, has average statistics in the Lakers, but he has been loved by many Lakers fans, compared to the proud Kobe Bryant + Three Towers, Barnes's ruthlessness to do his best anytime and anywhere has surprised the Lakers' fans who are accustomed to aristocratic play.

On February 16, the day of the rookie competition, Liu Mang held a new year's Chinese New Year's Eve party in his rented villa.

Today, the Hawks participated in the rookie game, only Rondo, who averaged 3 points, 3.7 boards, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game, and was selected for the All-Star rookie team.

Tomorrow's three-point competition, Granger and Blake were invited to participate, Liu Mang refused all invitations to eventing this year, in order to increase attention, the league has been promoting the invitation of Liu Mang to participate in all events of the eventing since the all-star vote, but Liu Mang really doesn't have that energy.

After the so-called "Spring Festival Limited Edition" Ace Five Generations sneaker publicity was finished this morning, Liu Mang returned to the villa at noon and tinkered with the two girls for the afternoon party.

Originally, Liu Mang wanted to let his parents come to Las Vegas for the New Year, but the two old Valentines went to Europe for a vacation......

At this party, in addition to the three stars of the Lakers plus Wang Zhizhi, as well as Fisher who participated in the Skills Challenge, and some stars who participated in this season's All-Star and Liu Mang had a good relationship, the Hawks coaching staff also came.

When Liu Mang desperately wanted to squirt Yao Ming, who couldn't do it, the coaching staff called him to the next room and had something to talk about.

"Ace, we now have two opportunities to strengthen." Coach Kruger operated the computer and called up two news items, the two deals that were made today.

Liu Mang took a look, it was the news of the layoffs after two trades.

The Heat sent Mark Jackson, who is due to expire this season, and a second-round pick protected by the top 40 picks in 2007, to get Brandon Buss from the Hornets for two consecutive seasons.

"This deal...... To save money again? "Liu Mang's operation of the god operator feels very amazing.

It's so utilitarian.

Brandon-Bass ...... Liu Mang has the impression that he is not a particularly good player, after 2010, he had a short average of 10+ seasons per game, but there are many injuries, especially Liu Mang's intuitive feeling of time and space, although he is a second-round pick, but the Hornets signed a four-year rookie contract with 3.39 million US dollars with him, and the rookie season was reimbursed, and he was reimbursed after playing more than a dozen games this year, and the Heat sent Mark Jackson out, except for saving money, there is no other possibility.

The Hornets cut Mark Jackson after acquiring Mark Jackson, just to send Brandon Buss away and vacate a roster spot so that Brandon Buss' four-year, fully guaranteed rookie contract from taking a future rookie spot.

At the time of the draft, Blanton Buss was quite hot, and when he fell to the second round, the Hornets thought he was picking up a bargain, after all, he was the best player in the NCAA Southeast League, averaging 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks per game in his sophomore year, who knew that he would be reimbursed every year in the NBA.

And with Mark Jackson, maybe there will be a problem with their plan to win the top two picks this year because of the strength of the interior line.

As for the Heat's second-round pick...... It's almost certainly not going to be won't, and the Heat have dropped out of the top 20 in the league this year and are now in the bottom four of the East, successfully "overtaking" the Knicks.

Soon Liu Mang made the Heat and Hornets the reason for the deal.

The second trade was related to the Magic, who gave Kenyon Doolin and Travis Dinar a contract totaling $8.9 million, Dinard was a second-round pick in 2005, and for two seasons, as a substitute, he averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game with a 43 percent three-point shooting rate, but he was only good at three-pointers, nothing else, and was only 1.85 meters tall.

But barely a potential stock, Kenyon Doolin...... A complete garbage contract, counting this season, a total of three years and a contract of 16 million, the Magic signed him last summer, and regretted it before he finished this season.

Using Denarle as compensation and also eating the Grizzlies' team option for next season, Stromiere Swift's garbage contract of 5.6 million salary, sent Kenyon Durin to the Grizzlies to save salary space.

Swift's characteristics are relatively similar to Howard's, and he is the extreme poor man's version, and he is even shorter, and after the Magic trade was completed, he used the Alan Houston clause to pardon Swift.

As for why the amnesty clause is used after the transaction, Liu Mang thinks it is still that word - money!

Amnesty Kenyon Durin has to pay three years' salary, Swift's words, because it is a team option for next season, in fact, if the team option is not implemented, there is no difference between the non-guarantee clause, the Magic team amnesty Swift only needs to pay the salary of the remaining twenty-seven or eight games, which is the same as the Magic team's long-term reluctance to pardon Grant Hill, the salary is too high, until Grant Hill voluntarily agrees to buy out.

Liu Mang looked at the two objects that the management wanted to strengthen, and felt that the boss was indeed out of recruitment this year! It's all so miserable! It's time to wait for another team to buy out the player and sign it!

Of course, it doesn't mean that the players cut by other teams are necessarily bad, and some teams can play well in the playoffs by signing players who have been cut or pardoned by other teams.

Being cut and pardoned is not necessarily bad, it may be that the salary is too high, like Mark Jackson, who joined the Heat in the summer of 2005 with a salary of 15 million for two years, Pat Riley failed to get Mourning at that time, and could only spend a lot of money to buy a player of similar strength at that time.

Swift...... Anyway, it was the 2000 rookie show, or the Grizzlies chose it themselves, the rookie contract was signed by the Rockets for 5 years, and then he was sent back to the Grizzlies with Caron Butler, the data is okay, this season playing the starting center averaged 9 points and 5 boards per game, but the Grizzlies are aiming at Oden or Horford, so they naturally have to empty the position in advance.

"Ace, is it appropriate for these two to sign a reinforcement insider? If you don't like it, we'll just re-select people, but time is running out, these two are in good physical condition, they can be used as substitutes, we don't sign, other teams will also grab people, John and Chip have already gone to contact them. Coach Kruger said.

"It's just them......" Liu Mang found that the team really had no choice, and couldn't help but ask: "Coach, when did we get so bad?" ”
