"Ace, there's something wrong with the team." Maddie sat next to Liu Mang and said.

After playing the Nuggets, early the next morning, the Hawks will immediately leave for Atlanta, and a press conference will be held in the afternoon to hold a press conference for Mourning to join, giving the veteran face This kind of thing must be enough, this time Mourning communicated for a long time to reach the verbal commitment to join, if this time it is handled well, it will be easier to attract other veterans to join in the future, which veteran does not want to hold his thigh at the end of his career to win the championship, he can join the championship team with a very decent attitude.

But now there is a big problem in front of Liu Mang and Maddy, Maddy understands the impact of the trade shock too well, he used to be the core of the Magic for four years, a team like the Magic, the trade shock has every season, and not once or twice, Maddie knows that this matter needs time to smooth out the players' uneasiness, but he is still a little anxious, he has not won the first place in the league, if he has a few more labor pains, maybe he will lose the lead, this season the Pistons and Suns have a good record.

"I know, but there was just a deal, and it's inevitable," Liu Mang replied casually, "It's okay, it will be fine soon." ”

'You should say something to your team-mates and boost their confidence.' Maddie saw that Liu Mang didn't care, and said dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, I know......" Liu Mang felt that Mai Ma Ma was really worried too much, but he suddenly reacted and asked suspiciously: "Wait, I'll talk about this, what about you, Tracy?" ”

Maddie leaned back in her chair and replied, "I'm a little brother!" I'm Pippen, not Jordan, you're the one who is, you're in charge of enlightening your teammates, yes, that's all. ”

"......" Liu Mang looked at Maddie worrying so much and seemed to be troublesome, speechless: What kind of person is this!

……

After Liu Mang returned to Atlanta with the team, he went home first and met with Dinah, Alexia and Levia on vacation, went to the restaurant that Kwame Brown and Mourning had agreed on, and had lunch with Mourning.

Liu Mang was led by the waiter to the innermost position on the second floor of the restaurant, and when he saw that all the people who had made an appointment had arrived, he quickly apologized: "Sorry, Alonzo, I'm late......"

By the time Liu Mang arrived at the restaurant, Mourning had a lively chat with Maddie and Rasheed Wallace, two new teammates who were more familiar to the NBA in the mid-90s.

Most Americans are self-cooked, even if it is Kwame Brown, except for the two years when he was scolded by Jordan to doubt his life, normally, he is also a cheerful person, but he was still a high school graduate when he entered the NBA, and he didn't even experience the mini version of the society in college, and went directly to the world where adults pursue utilitarianism, and his character was suppressed by the blow, and in the original time and space, he first met Jordan and then Kobe, and the end was naturally miserable.

But Kwame Brown is very different from ordinary muscular men, and he is not even particularly water in the parallel trade champion, he is better than Anthony Bennett I don't know how many times, and he is much better than the sugar man Olowo Candi, and at the age of 30, he can still get a contract of 8 million US dollars in the Bucks and the Warriors, which is good in terms of rotation players, but his performance is not worthy of the champion status, or it is lower than expected, mainly because he was selected by Jordan, and the parallel "halo" is much brighter than ordinary.

"Haha, Ace, it's not that you're late, we made an appointment at twelve o'clock, and it's only half past eleven, so we're early." Mo Ning came up and hugged Liu Mang.

is still so hearty, although the first impression of a delicate person is very good, but a rough man with thick eyebrows, square face and big nose like Mo Ning is more likely to impress people, especially the hearty character.

After a hug, the two sat down.

"How's it going, Alonzo, how does it feel to come to Miami and win the championship?" Liu Mang teased.

"Wow, Ace, you're as confident as you were when we first met three years ago...... No, it's pride. Mourning laughed.

"Of course, we were the strongest, and now with you, we will be even stronger! Let's kill O'Neill together! ”

Liu Mang and his teammates also come to this store often, the waiter knew what Liu Mang liked to drink, and after pouring Liu Mang a fifth of the glass of liquor, Liu Mang raised his glass and toasted Mo Ning first.

Mo Ning can't drink alcohol now, everyone knows it, so the juice he drank, and when he heard Liu Mang's words, he raised his glass and said, "Haha, let's kill O'Neill together!" I've long looked at him unpleasantly! ”

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no other way out in the East, and it just so happened that his old club Miami was the favorite to win the championship, Mourning would never consider hugging O'Neal's thigh.

Liu Mang is a Chinese, quite cheerful personality, and after becoming teammates with Mo Ning, they quickly chatted together, mainly on a common topic, that is, to train Kwame Brown to deal with O'Neill.

Of course, this is because of strength, otherwise no matter how good the personality is, it will be in vain, Liu Mang knows this very well......

Just when we were chatting, the accident came again......

A waiter was about to come up and pour juice for Mo Ning, Liu Mang just stood up and hit the waiter, and the mouth of the juice bottle was just facing Liu Mang, spraying Liu Mang in the face......

The six old teammates plus Mo Ning immediately moved several meters away from Liu Mang, and they all fled.

Seeing Mo Ning's sharp reaction, Liu Mang knew that that damn Mai Ma Ma was a woman in front of his new teammates again!

The master is not a plague god, but he has been unlucky these days! What to do when you run so far!

……

……

After lunch, Liu Mang and others came to the Phillips Arena with Mo Ning, and they didn't drink too much at noon, but drank and ate casually, without delaying the press conference at three o'clock.

Mourning and Walter McCarty joined the Hawks, mainly because of the addition of Mourning, although McCarty has only played in his ninth season, he has reached the end of his career, and there is still a veteran base salary contract of 1.02 million for one year, and he is estimated to retire after playing.

Although Mourning's arrival is not as exaggerated as when Malone joined the Lakers last season, the Hawks are the defending champions, but the interior defense has declined after the absence of Raheem and Ratliff. Cowardly undead

And Mourning's defensive performance after his comeback this season is still phenomenal, playing 20 minutes per game can still have a very good defensive performance, although it can't be compared with Ratliff, who was at his peak two years ago, but he doesn't need to prop up the basket like Ratliff, Kwame Brown has grown, and the Hawks need more defensive experience brought by Mourning, of course, his defensive ability is the most important interior power, Josh Smith and Vallejo are still useless.

The addition of Mourning will greatly make up for the shortcomings of the Hawks' too young center, and it is mainly to snatch Mourning, who was originally thought to be a high probability of joining the Heat, and steal the potential reinforcement object of direct competitors in the East, which is regarded as a perfect operation by the media and fans.

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held on time, and owner Price presented Mourning with his No. 33 jersey and Walter McCarty with his No. 40 jersey, and Mourning and McCarty officially joined the Eagles.

'I think I still have a lot of gas in the tank and I'm going to make a move with this group of youngsters, our youngsters are so good, I think it's the best squad I've ever been involved in, we won the championship last season and we can still ...... this year."

Mourning showed a strong sense of confidence at the press conference and his joy at joining the championship team.

In the end, Mourning made a point of saying: "We have the best center in the East, Kwamei, I want to be with him, and Rashid, we will be the best interior combination in the East......"

Next to him, a high school student who was happy to get a teacher with a normal personality, he almost sat on the ground.

Don't! Brother Alonzo, we have something to say no!

……

It's about to be a Christmas game, and the Eagles' opponent for Christmas this season is ...... It's still the Nets, three years of grudges and grudges, plus Carter's ability to lead the Nets to third place in the East this season despite Kidd's consecutive injuries, and the Nets have never been a team to watch the regular season.

Whether it is the cousin dispute, or the Jordan successor dispute, or the three consecutive years of East Dueling grievances, this Christmas war is full of highlights.

However, on the Hawks' side, although Mourning's arrival made fans feel excited and silenced many teams in the league, the unrest within the Hawks team did not weaken.

With Mourning's official arrival, it looks like Josh Smith and Vallejo will have a lot fewer chances.

And the fact is also that Mourning will probably take away ten to twenty minutes of playing time, Vallejo will not have many opportunities to play, Josh Smith and Mohammed will have a few minutes less.

However, Mohammed, who has a good mentality, as well as Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown, don't care so much about this kind of thing, and care more about the substitutes.

And it's not just the inside line that is affected, but the outside line is the same, because it's two outside teammates, and the other outside players are not perfect players, or even perfect, they all have a lot of shortcomings, I'm afraid that the management will give them up, playing in the Eagles, and playing in other teams, there is still a big difference, they have been playing for two months, some of their high school and college friends have gone to other teams, and they are not as happy as they are in the Eagles, even if they are the main players, most of them are not as happy as them. read_middle();

Winning is the purpose of playing basketball, not to win, what kind of basketball to play? Money is important, but they are already millionaires when they enter the NBA, and more need for psychological pursuit.

Liu Mang went home and thought about it all night, called Coach Kruger, Maddy, Stockton, Ma Long, and Rasheed Wallace, thought about it for a while, and sent a text message to his teammates in the middle of the night to hold a player meeting tomorrow morning.

……

On December 25th, Christmas, and the last day of Liu Mang's unlucky day, Liu Mang checked the fuel tank for oil, and yesterday the red Lamborghini also found the auto repair uncle to check that there was no problem, and then let Levia, who was woken up at seven o'clock in the morning, drive him to the stadium with an unhappy face.

Even the safety family planning tools can be punctured when applauding for love, and Levia, who doesn't want to have another child so early, is also speechless.

It's Alexia's side, she doesn't need family planning tools recently, she has already begun to prepare for pregnancy after traveling back to Atlanta in China, while Dinah is in the fourth grade, she doesn't need special extra care at school, and in terms of safety, there is the rough-looking Christine Wagner to protect it, and it is enough to scare petty thieves, Alexya feels that she can prepare to have a child after the end of last semester.

As for marriage...... Americans are not the same as getting married and falling in love and having children......

After Liu Mang arrived at the stadium, sure enough, unlucky things continued one after another, the railing of the parking lot failed, Liu Mang arrived at the training ground, and the window was smashed by the football last night, the football desert in the United States, hell, there are people playing football on the side of the road...... Liu Mang could only practice shooting in the cold wind, and it was useless if the air conditioner was repaired.

At half past eight, the teammates came one after another, Liu Mang went to take a shower, and the teammates all arrived and came to the conference room together.

Coach Kruger also came to work at eight o'clock, but the players had a meeting, and he didn't interfere, he was very relieved about Liu Mang, as long as Liu Mang didn't mess with the whole team, anything.

Only to do things, Coach Kruger wants to kick Liu Mang to death.

……

"Tracy, I thought it was you who was in charge of the overall situation, but I didn't expect it to be Ace, he is still so young!" Mourning whispered to Maddie next to him.

"Alonzo, Ace is a very good leader, you can't treat him like a child, he's the MVP of the finals!" Maddie emphasized.

Maddie is deepening Liu Mang's "authority" for Mo Ning, a player like Mo Ning with a beautiful career resume, the good thing is that he is experienced and has good strength, and the bad thing is that he is afraid that he will dominate.

Although it is unlikely, Mo Ning is at this age, Maddie still helped Liu Mang eliminate this hidden danger.

Liu Mang pondered for a moment and turned on the head of state mode: "I called everyone so early today, and I have a very important thing to tell you." Doomsday Phantom

Some teammates have left, and new teammates have joined, I know everyone's confusion, why do we have to trade if we played so well and played so well? ”

Liu Mang said the most disturbing things of several young teammates at the beginning.

After a pause for two seconds, when his teammates wanted to speak, Liu Mang took advantage of this most memorable time for his teammates to interrupt his teammates who wanted to speak, deepened their impression, and continued: "Trading, it doesn't mean that the teammates who left are not good enough, Tony and Trevor are both very good players, but you have to believe that those of you who stay are definitely better players, why are they not you who are leaving?" Shouldn't you be happier?

Where do men need to be so afraid, try to be yourself, play your own strength, let the team know how important you are to the team, show your ability well, as long as you are good enough, will you be afraid of the team trading you?

You have to believe in yourself, just like me, and I was determined from the beginning that I was going to be the best player in the history of the Hawks, or even the best player in NBA history, whether that was possible or not, and the goal was not just in front of me.

You should be more open-minded, you can't just stare at the minutes of playing time in front of you, you can't just get a few minutes of playing time and be complacent, do you feel like this is the future of you?

Andrey, I think you're going to be MVP, do you believe it?

I believe it all, why don't you believe it?

Anderson, I think you're going to get the rebounding title one day, that's the best part of you.

Josh, I think you're going to be the best power forward in the world one day, do you have that confidence?

A must-have!

Moreover, self-confidence alone is not enough, you are still far behind!

You have to learn more things, I've studied with Stockton, I've studied with Jordan, and even that nasty guy in Los Angeles, I've reached out to him for advice.

I also watched Ginobili's videos to learn how to use my left hand, watched videos of Reggie Miller and Alan Houston to train for runs, and even learned how to play and rebound with Ben Wallace......

You're so much more talented than me, and I can barely match your physicality, but I'm the MVP and I'm the best player in the world.

You should learn from Alonzo and from Walter, Rashid and Kwame as well.

You have to believe that even if one day, the team trades you, it's not your loss, it's the team.

No matter whether we can always play together in the future, but at this moment, don't be a mother-in-law, don't worry about small things like a woman.

Our goal now is to defend the championship! This season, you and I have only one goal!

For the sake of the championship, and in order for you to have a better career resume in the future, from today onwards, our new team, must be united.

For the overall championship! ”

When Liu Mang said this, the lights in the conference room began to flicker, the screwbuckles were sparkling, and the bulbs had rusted for too long, and the contact was poor.

"Ding...... Hitler's demagogy was triggered, and the host's discourse, criticism, and encouragement greatly improved the sense of identity of the teammates who followed the host. ”

It should have been Liu Mang's bad luck, but at this moment, the players felt that Liu Mang was speaking with "deterrence"!

At this moment, Liu Mang is like a "god descending from heaven" in the eyes of his teammates! It wants to be inflammatory.

"For the championship!" Jason Terry is always the first to cheer on Liu Mang, helping Liu Mang drive his teammates up.

With someone taking the lead, the other teammates also shouted: "For the championship!" ”

Originally, Mo Ning really treated Liu Mang as a child, under the guidance of Maddie, coupled with the current scene, Mo Ning felt incredible, and a feeling inevitably emerged in his heart.

It is said that Jordan and Duncan are players who were born to dominate the NBA, and Mourning does not deny this.

But compared with Liu Mang, both of them seem to be inferior.

Jordan is that arrogant attitude, Duncan is that calm and calm, and Liu Mang feels completely different to Mo Ning!

I can't say why, I just want to follow him!

Mo Ning smiled and roared with his teammates: "For the championship!" ”

……

In the reception room next to the conference room, Coach Kruger, Mike Woodson, Stockton, Malone, the boss Price, and the vice president of logistics, Moron Wiley, all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the call from next door.

"I told you, leave this kind of thing to Ace, no problem." Moron Willy said with a smile, looking at the group of people who said that they did not interfere in the players' meetings, but the team bosses who were staying next door, they really didn't know what to say.

"Haha, Moron, you guessed it right this time, I'm in for a treat tonight, Christmas Eve, there should be fun." Price put his arm around Moron Willy's shoulder and smiled.

"Boss, what's the best place to go tonight......" Moron Willy followed Price.

Coach Kruger, several assistant coaches and trainers also left with a smile, this kind of thing is indeed a good choice to hand over to Liu Mang, but they just don't worry!

After all, no matter how old the players are, they are in their 30s, and on the road of life, they are still in their young prime, and their coaches are over 40 years old, so they will naturally be uneasy, especially Coach Kruger, this group of players, are all "children" brought up by him!
