Malone looked enviously at Stockton and Ostertag, who temporarily put on their jerseys to receive championship rings, and Magic players Rahim, Liu Mang and Jason Terry and Coach Kruger went to give Rahim a championship ring.

Maddie and the five new rookies all sat on the bench, envious of their teammates who won last season's championship.

The Magic team, seeing this scene, was also very envious, especially the successor of the older generation of Jordan who finally miraculously healed after four years of continuous reimbursement.

For the game against the Magic, an hour and a half before the game starts, various activities have already begun on the other side of the court, such as season ticket draws, Hawks merchandise gifts from the Rogue League, and opportunities for the stars to take photos and sign autographs......

At six o'clock, an hour before the start of the game, the championship rings were awarded.

Liu Mang was the first to wear a championship ring, which was the first, and there was no other choice, because he was the boss of the team.

NBA championship rings, each NBA championship ring has to go through the manual labor of 75 to 100 people, and the average time spent on each production process is about 10 weeks, the price of each championship ring is about 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars, the team has a total of more than 30 championship rings, if you look at the player's salary, it may not be very precious, but this is not the price can be measured.

The members of the championship team, whether they are the main team or substitutes, coaches, team doctors, and trainers, as long as they are registered employees of the club, everyone has a share.

The championship rings of players, head coaches, and owners must have names, not necessarily for others, but because it was the first championship of the Hawks after moving to Atlanta, even the name of the trainer was engraved on the championship ring.

After getting the ring, Liu Mang carefully studied whether it was a real diamond, counted, a total of 15 diamonds, surrounded by a small white gold frame, surrounded by a graphic of the O'Brien Cup, the ring of the ring on one side of the Eagles team name, on the other side is the player's name, when Liu Mang looked carefully, he found a small "secret", next to the platinum box next to each diamond, there are very small words, look closer, it seems to be the name of the 15 players who played to the end of the team last season!

This is really heartfelt! Liu Mang couldn't help but kiss the 15 diamonds in a circle.

After Liu Mang put a championship ring on his index finger, Rahim took the microphone given by the host: "Thank you very much to the team, thank you very much, I can still hear your cheers when I am already a player on other teams, we were the strongest team in the history of the NBA last season, no one is better than us, but from today onwards, we are no longer a team, we are opponents......"

Yesterday afternoon, Liu Mang and Jason Terry went to get together with Rahim, they didn't talk about the team, they didn't talk about basketball, they talked about how Raheem was doing in Orlando, and whether it was cool to renew his contract with a maximum salary......

Jason Terry and Raheem talk more about the difference between the nightclubs in the two places......

Raheem said this with tears in his eyes, starting with the championship ring, and in the future, from a player point of view, it is difficult for him to have anything to do with the Hawks.

Maybe one day, Raheem will finish his big contract, return to the Hawks to sign a one-game contract before retiring, and then retire, relying on several All-Stars and a rebounding king and the best team, a defense, and most importantly, a 16-1 championship, there is a chance to retire the jersey in the Hawks, a team that is not glorious in team history, but in the case of still strength, Rahim will not come back, this point, after putting the ring on Rahim, Liu Mang is already very clear.

After the championship ring was issued, Liu Mang, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Rahim, the four starters from last season, plus Jason Terry, Stockton, Muhammad, Kevin Willis, Korver, Calderon, and Kwame Brown, who started in place of Ratliffe, flicked their palms together, turned their palms against the camera, and showed the picture of the ring on their fingers, and the cameraman wanted to take pictures.

When the photo was over, Liu Mang looked at the picture of his teammates collectively wearing rings, and when he saw a certain man with small hands, he couldn't help but say: "Wow, Kwamei, your hands are smaller than Jason's hands!" ”

Kwame Brown feels like he's been pounded in the chest, and he's still the boss's killer!

He has heard shooting coach Chip England say more than once that his small hands are not conducive to shooting and secondary offense, so he chooses to dunk directly and make up the basket directly, don't take the ball down, and it is easy to be stealed.

Kwame Brown was already congested, and finally developed a pie-eating style of play, with Liu Mang, Calderon, Maddie, Iguodala, and Rashid Wallace who could give him a drop ball and a direct empty catch, so that he almost forgot about it, and now the boss is here to beat the scar directly!

Kwame Brown felt out of place with her teammates because of her small hands......

……

"Grant, why don't you come to play on our team when your contract ends, and we'll win the championship together."

"Wow, that's going to have to wait years, and I'll probably be in a wheelchair by then."

"Well, Grant, you have to believe in modern medicine, medicine is still very reliable now, I think you are good now, we have a hundred yuan, you can play 60 games this year."

"Haha, if it's true that I played 60 games, I'll treat you to dinner!"

When the final championship flag is raised, the pre-game activities are over, the staff remove the props, and the two sides start the final warm-up or chat with the opponent, as well as the players' families and friends, can come up and take a group photo before the game begins.

Liu Mang said hello to the comeback Grant Hill, old-timers, as a junior, it is time to show off the championship ring, how can a player like Hill not hook up in advance.

Grant Hill came back in the preseason, and the injury was miraculously recovered, but there was still a risk of recurrence, so the Magic announced that Hill would not play back-to-back, but he could already play in the NBA.

Liu Mang remembers that this was the year Hill began to recover physically, and of course, it was also the year he began to transform from a star to a role player.

Liu Mang chatted with Grant Hill for a few words, and little Lori ran over.

"Uncle, ring ring!" Little Lori wants to grab things again.

But this time, Liu Mang didn't agree: "Uncle wants to keep this ring for himself." ”

"Hmm......" Little Lori saw that Liu Mang was so serious about these trophies for the first time, as smart as Little Lori, and immediately understood that this ring was of great significance, she was almost 10 years old, and she could probably understand the thing of friendship, so she lost: "The uncle gave the ring to Dinah, and Dina helped the uncle take it." ”

"I want to show off to your classmates! Here you go, be careful not to lose it, it's a real diamond! This ring is tens of thousands! Liu Mang emphasized.

Seeing that little Lori got the ring and ran to pretend to be forced, Liu Mang really didn't know what to say to this kind of child who has reached the age of showing off...... In short, appearance is justice.

However, there is one thing that Liu Mang is kind to today, the girlfriends or wives of the other nine teammates from last season all came up to take a group photo, but Levia and Alexia refused to come, everyone wants to be famous, and these two girls don't want to be famous.

Liu Mang reluctantly went to shoot and hot up for the game.

However, there is one picture that makes Liu Mang feel weird, Josh Smith and the champion Lang Dwight Howard opposite are chatting about something!

Looking at Howard's hearty smile, this guy is so happy!

After the two finished chatting, Liu Mang called Josh-Smith over: "Josh, you know that high school student very well?" ”

"Of course, Boss, Dwight and I are high school teammates!" Josh Smith replied, "What's wrong?" Boss, don't you like Dwight? He's a nice guy, he's got a good personality, you see, he has a smile on everyone. ”

"Uh, I forgot you're a high school student too." Liu Mang only remembered this, and he said why Josh Smith was cut by the Pistons in the future, and ran to play Howard as a substitute as soon as possible, "It's okay, I'm just curious......"

yes, happy beast, how can you not like to laugh.

Raheem, the kind of guy who can play without a break for the first six years of his career, has maintained excellent health, and was known as the iron man of the 96 generation in his early years, originally he stopped playing in his thirties, because he lost too much and lost his love for basketball, and now he maintains his love, playing until the last year of his seven-year contract, and he can still play well, whether he will play on the Magic team in his early thirties?

Raheem plus Howard, three or four years, it's a bit tricky!

However, Liu Mang is also very happy that Rahim can have a good home.

……

It was almost seven o'clock, and the referee signaled for the people to leave the field, and the game was about to begin.

The stadium staff came up to wipe the floor clean, everything was ready, and the referee motioned for the players to come on.

After more than five months of absence, Prince once again danced a square dance, and the scene immediately burst into cheers, a large number of fans danced along, and even the councilors of the city hall also dabbled in the "NBA court dance" that was already included in Atlanta's "intangible cultural protection case" and danced along.

Liu Mang is very concerned about this, this thing in China is not taken seriously, young people are very disgusted, it was okay when it first came out, but now it is occupied by the Korean Wave and the lives of young people, but it is Atlanta here that includes this thing in the urban protection clause.

accidentally created a "history", but Liu Mang really wanted to die, it is estimated that for many years to come, when it comes to square dancing, he will be mentioned Liu someone.

Kwame Brown grabbed some magnesium powder and came to the other side of the court, clapped his hands to let the magnesium powder drift away, and as the fans cheered, the lights turned off, and Rashid Wallace's terrible face appeared on the big screen, and with a roar, the whole stadium began to riot!

After discussing with Maddie whether to open the action, Maddie's quiet personality doesn't like it, Liu Mang no longer designs actions for new teammates, teammates come and go, unless it's a friend like Maddie who has known each other for a long time and is not a team before, even if he changes teams, he won't be too sad, and the new teammates, who knows when they will leave, will not invest so much emotion.

After Liu Mang smeared the magnesium powder, he grabbed a handful and sprinkled it in the air and went on the field!

……

The Hawks, for their part, fielded the starting lineup of Liu Mang, Maddy, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

Liu Mang looked at the Magic's starters, Jamil Nelson, Ability Rating 69, Cardino Mobley, Ability Rating 81, Grant Hill, Ability Rating 85, Raheem, Ability Rating 93, Dwight Howard, Ability Rating 75.

There is also Tekoglu, who has the ability to evaluate 84 on the bench, this year's Magic team, very good!

It would be nice to swap Raheem for Francis, as it seems that this season the Magic would have won nearly 20 more games than last season.

Why does Liu Mang remember it so clearly, because this is Maddie's original big black material, as soon as he leaves, the Magic team can compete for the playoff position.

Watch Kwame Brown and Dwight Howard, the two high-school top-notch centers drafted for the first time in three years, walk into the center circle.

Liu Mang feels that both are high school students with physical fitness, but there are still many differences, and Kwame Brown is more like a traditional center.

It's all two meters and one one, Howard seems to be a little shorter, and I don't know if Kwame Brown has grown taller or Howard has falsely reported his height.

Kwame Brown is much stronger, Howard was only 120 kilograms at his peak, and Kwame Brown is only 22 years old and is already 117 kilograms.

Both have long arm spans and strong upper limbs, the difference is that Kwame Brown has a strong upper limb and a good lower limb and tonnage foot.

There is also the fact that Kwame Brown has small hands and Howard has big hands......

Kwame Brown was excited to see Howard!

Why are you so excited, because the boss said that he tortured Howard to death, so he is not the only one who has the title of parallel import......

When Howard walked to the middle circle, he wanted to say hello to Kwame Brown, they were all high school students, everyone played happily together, who knows, the other party looked vicious!

Howard felt the intense hostility from Kwame Brown!

Howard doesn't understand! didn't provoke this senior, how could he be so hostile to him? Everyone is a high school student!

"This guy is not a friend! Can't play happily! Howard immediately made a determination about Kwame Brown's 'hostile identity'.

The referee blows the whistle for the start of the game and throws the ball into the air.

Kwame Brown jumped hard, and Howard on the opposite side also jumped with all his might, and in terms of bounce height, the two were comparable!

The big hand and the small hand slapped on the ball at the same time, the ball was hit by two forces together, the power could not be counteracted, the ball bounced upward, because the Kwame Brown force was a little greater, the ball flew to the backcourt of the Eagles, and was caught by Liu Mang!

"Damn!" Liu Mang was shocked by the physical fitness of the two, the most important thing is, are these two people desperate? It's just a ball!

There is also a watch, before 12 o'clock, ask for a monthly pass~
