Red-eyed, envious, jealous!

But Maddie's fighting spirit has completely burned!

is a little different from the rest of the Eagles, even if Maddie is on rotation, her temperament is still tepid, and she doesn't have the feeling that other people's desires are suppressed, which makes Liu Mang feel a little weird.

At this time last year, even the 42-year-old Stockton looked scrappy and very excited.

It's not that Maddie doesn't have a fighting spirit, it's just a little tepid.

With this kind of appearance, Liu Mang knew at a glance that he had never won the playoffs, and he didn't have the momentum of others at all.

Moreover, because he is strong and only 25 years old and under 26, he is not as worried about the future as veterans, nor does he want to shine in the playoffs as young people, and he doesn't even have so-called grievances to keep him motivated.

This guy is just like his character traits that are systematically data-based, he is too "indisputable"!

Liu Mang thought about himself, he wanted a lot of things in the regular season, scoring champion, MVP, for a while, it was best to have the best defensive lineup...... It's a bit hard, but I want a lot of it.

And Maddie, who played for a whole season, found an assist king as a target.

And because the Suns are a little uncomfortable with the referees blowing penalties after the All-Star weekend, Nash's assist count has become unstable, and the Suns are a little unable to adapt to the rhythm of the playoffs.

This led the ambitious Stoudemire to practice his mid-range shot and more face-frame skills toward his one-time idol, the Flying Devil's version of Tim Duncan in the late '90s.

Some people need to experience failure before they start working hard, which is already calculated, and some people simply let it go when they fail.

But there are better talents, like Stoudemire, who can see their own flaws and take the initiative to improve.

Although Stoudemire did not improve as fast as Yao Ming in the first two years, Yao Ming was the player of the best team in the second year, but the environment of the two teams is different, Stoudemire played with Marbury, the team atmosphere is extremely bad, he is not even regarded as the core, and the core of the team is Sean Marion, a top star who can be 17+10 in the second year.

But Stoudemire went from eating cake in his rookie season, to being a sophomore who could cut into singles with the ball in the face frame, to now being the highest-scoring power forward averaging 26 points per game.

Since March, the Suns' offensive efficiency has declined slightly, and their points per game have been surpassed by the Hawks, who are averaging 111.6 points per game compared to the Suns' 110.9 points.

Nash's assists per game were also surpassed by Maddy, who slipped to 11.7 assists per game due to the decline in offensive efficiency, and Maddie took the advantage with 12 assists per game.

Maddie's talent is indeed too good to say, and he is going all out to transform the organizer, although the ability to organize the offense is still being developed, but Maddie is stunned to get the assist king.

This makes Maddie's indisputable personality particularly prominent, and there is a feeling of playing more and more casually when he won the scoring title in the 02-03 season.

It's not that Maddie's performance has declined, but it gives people the feeling that he can't find the goal he is pursuing.

Therefore, Liu Mang brought his championship ring to stimulate Maddie.

The championship ring really stinged Maddie's pride.

When talking trash with Kobe Bryant before, Kobe said that he had three championships, and Maddie could only respond that he had the scoring title and was about to get the assist king.

In the history of the NBA, there are only 4 players who can win the championship in the season of winning the scoring title, George McCann, the basketball god of the NBA, Michael Jordan, the basketball god of the NBA, Shaq O'Neal, the most dominant center in history, and Liu Mang in front of Maddie.

That is, Kobe Bryant has a good face, and the honor is not said for the second time, and Maddie won.

But that incident was like a thorn in Maddie's heart, but he didn't care about so many things, so he didn't hurt him.

But now that thorn was punched by Liu Mang, and that thorn poked Maddie's heart.

The only players who can win the championship in the season of winning the assist king are Bob Cousy, Jerry West, and Magic Johnson.

Maddie wants to be the fourth!

It's not that Maddie didn't have the motivation to compete for the championship before, but he wasn't so eager to wear a championship ring and Kobe Bryant said that he also had it, and now that Liu Mang has uncovered his previous scars, Maddie's motivation is completely different!

……

……

"Ace, Monta Ellis and David Lee I've signed, Ace are you sure they can play in the future? Well, I trust Ace with your vision, but why don't these two recommend it to the Eagles? ”

"We already have Jason with a player like Ellis, Lee doesn't match our style, he's a traditional insider, by the way, has Paul signed?"

"Chris is still talking over there, because Ace still has a relationship with Dwyan, and there is a great chance of signing, but it's a pity that none of the four North Carolina have won, and they are becoming popular too quickly." Schwartz took a sip of his coffee.

From the end of the NCAA regular season in early February to the end of the NCAA Finals on April 3, he was busy observing college students everywhere, contacting everywhere, and the hot rookie was really signed by him, and the University of Arizona's senior mature center Channing Frye was signed by Liu Mang's company.

When the agent is busy, he is busy like a dog, Schwartz has not been home once in the last two months or so for nearly three months, and he travels around the United States every day, although he has signed a lot of agents and scouts, but when it comes to a slightly famous college player to sign, he still has to go in person.

But when the work of competing for college resources was completed, it was immediately idle, and except for Paul, who was still hesitating to play in the NCAA for another year, the rest of the work was over.

So Schwartz came to Liu Mang's house early in the morning on the 13th, when the Hawks played the Spurs, to discuss work.

Liu Mang remembers that Qian Ning Frye did not retire until 2019, except for the rookie contract, and the contract every year after that, it is above the middle class, not surprisingly, the company will have a stable total income of more than two hundred and three million dollars in the next ten years, which is not bad.

Generally speaking, those who often change agents are players with huge commercial value, and they will choose to change agents because the players under the same agent have no other players with commercial value, mainly because the commercial value is not better developed, not because the contract signed with the NBA team is not good enough.

The vast majority of players have no commercial value, they only need an agent who can get a big contract, so the average player has basically been the same agent throughout his career.

As long as Schwartz has Liu Mang in hand, he will not worry about the problem of commercial value, Schwartz has become a popular agent by relying on Liu Mang, before the North Carolina four less broke out, the top five picks are Andrew Bogut, Deron Williams, Chris Paul, Raymond Felton, Channing Frye, Charlie Villanueva.

Bogut's agent is an Australian, Delong's agent has long decided that it is Bob McLaren, Villanueva is not favored by Schwartz, and the remaining Filton and Fleischwartz have successfully grabbed one.

As for Felton's side, because he had already approached Paul, he didn't have time to fight for it.

"North Carolina four less?" When Liu Mang heard this, he felt that his teacher was probably going to do something stupid again, "I dare to pack tickets, the money they make together is not as much as Chris." ”

"Haha, I think so too, Chris is too talented, Ace, I think he will be your worst enemy in the future." Schwartz has always had a unique vision.

"Perhaps...... I kind of like the number 58, Jeff, you can suggest that Chris wear this jersey. Liu Mang suddenly had a bad taste.

"Number 58? That's an ugly number! I don't think Chris will agree, maybe he will refuse to sign with us if I say this, by the way Ace, why would you want Chris to wear the number 58? Schwartz didn't get it.

"Uh...... I just think it's a good fit for him......"

"Ace, who are the Eagles going to pick this summer? I remember the Hawks' own first-round pick was still there, and there was a second-round pick from the Jazz, probably two picks, the 30th and 33rd picks. ”

"It should be so, but the team has the idea of trading draft picks for next year, and I don't know exactly what signs we can trade, but I think in the summer we will reduce rookies and young players, so we don't have to think too much, we have too many young players......

……

chatted with Schwartz for two hours of work, Liu Mang mainly gave advice, and the company's operations and financial revenue were all Schwartz's grasp.

Liu Mang wants connections, Schwartz wants money and the sense of accomplishment that develops the company, and there is no conflict of interests between the two pursued, so Schwartz has become famous now and has no conflict of interest with Liu Mang.

After Schwartz left, Liu Mang was also ready to go to the arena, there was a team meeting at noon, a training session in the afternoon, and the Hawks coaching staff had already made full preparations for the game against the Spurs in the evening, and the finals preview would be played.

Before going out, Liu Mang looked at the system, the superstar value was 121196 points, and the rogue value was more than 49.79 million points.

The superstar value prepared for the playoffs has been fully prepared after the All-Star Weekend, and the hooligan value is about to break 50 million, and when it comes to killing Wade and James in the playoffs to make them feel real despair, Liu Mang feels that breaking 100 million is not too much of a problem.

The cards are now ready, and when the season is over, you'll get a third-year Jordan card.

Although with the improvement of Liu Mang's own strength, the role of the star card has gradually decreased, and the system is assisting him in the way of cultivating Liu Mang's own strength, but the star cards of superstars such as Jordan, Kobe, Wade, and Nash are still obvious to him.

Everything is ready and waiting for the playoffs to begin!

Playing the Spurs is like playing the playoffs!

……

The playoffs are about to begin, the enthusiasm of the fans is already high, and the NBA officials are at their busiest time.

The NBA headquarters in New York is now very busy, with the final planning of the playoff schedule, live broadcast negotiations with major TV stations, the allocation of playoff referees, and the negotiation between teams and owners of non-own team arenas...... And so on, of course, these things are left to his subordinates, David Stern finished the work assignment, and it was easy to drink black tea in the office and browse the website.

David Stern has a lot of vision, he has seen that the future is an era when channels are king, information and communication are the mainstream, although physical newspapers and TV stations are still mainstream media, but online media has occupied a lot of traffic, although a little older, but David Stern has learned computers well, and he will go to forums on the Internet if he has nothing to do.

From the beginning of the month,. In the live preview of T and ABC TV, they are already warming up for tonight's game between the Hawks and the Spurs.

This time it was ESPN's turn to be depressed, and they grabbed the live broadcast of the Hawks' regular season finale game against the Pacers at home, but they didn't expect that game to be completely unattended.

The Pacers have fallen behind in the competition for playoff spots with the Wizards, 76ers, and Magic, falling to tenth in the East, and being pressed behind by the Celtics, the top eight in the East have been determined, and the Hawks, Pistons, Nets, Heat, and Bulls are locked in the top five, and the 76ers, Wizards, and Magic are competing for the card position, and they all want to play the Pistons, and they don't want to meet the Hawks and the Nets in the first round, and they are still actively fighting for victory in the last two games.

People ignore that the Pacers are the opponent of the Hawks' final game, and think of the Hawks' game against the Spurs as the closing game.

Originally, the Eagles' last game was scheduled by the league as a playoff warm-up game, but now the situation is unexpected.

David Stern never imagined that he would put the expectation of pulling ratings on the Spurs.

But this game really got a lot of attention.

Mainly because the Spurs were pressed by the Suns at the beginning of the season to play a 113-91 slaughter, the next three games against the Suns got better and better, the second game was 102-105, and the third game took the initiative from the beginning, 124-118 in turn defeated the Suns with high scores, and the fourth game was 109-91, giving the Suns a big victory.

There are only four teams that have the advantage in total points against the Suns this season, with the Spurs being one of them, and the other three teams being the Hawks, Rockets, and Mavericks.

The Spurs are the top seeds in the Western Conference Finals, and the Hawks, who are "similar in play" to the Suns, are the top seeds in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Browsing the web and watching the online discussion about what will happen to the game between the Hawks and the Spurs, David Stern feels that the world is really amazing, and he never thought that there would be such a day as relying on the Spurs to pull ratings.

That's when David Stern got a call......

A minute later, a terrible scream came from the president's office at NBA headquarters: "Popovich! I am inseparable from you! ”
