After the training on the afternoon of the 12th, Liu Mang practiced until eight o'clock in the evening, then returned to the room to take a shower, and then soaked in the bathtub.

The teammates did not complain that they made the team play harder against strong teams, did not blame Liu Mang for stimulating those real opponents, and the coaching staff did not say anything, which made Liu Mang very moved.

But it doesn't mean that Liu Mang is not afraid and worried, on the contrary, he is the last person to be afraid.

Just like Coach Kruger thought, Liu Mang also felt like he was fighting against the water on his own side!

If you win against the Spurs, your team's self-confidence will skyrocket, and you can get a buff that greatly improves the team's morale this season, giving your team a better chance to compete for the championship.

At the same time, he also set the tone of his team's season, which is to win the championship, and there is no other choice.

But if you lose, not to mention the shame, the morale of the whole team will decline, and the morale of all players in the team will be punished according to the psychological quality.

Others are fine, Kwamei Brown there, Liu Mang feels that the problem is big......

But the benefits are too much to refuse!

"Atlanta's Strongheart, Quest Reward 1 Trait: Cold-Blooded; Reward 2 Team Buff: Strong Mentality. ”

Not to mention the team buff, even if there is no buff, if Liu Mang's pride this time has a perfect start from the beginning, the strong mentality of the Eagles will definitely get stronger and stronger, but with this buff buff, the effect is better.

The main thing is still that feature!

"Characteristic: Cold-blooded level 1, the more critical the game, the calmer the host's heart is, and the host has a more than 10% chance of being immune to shooting interference in the winning and equalizing goals. (At max level, the special effect shields the host's psychological stress at critical moments.) ）”

When he saw the introduction of this feature, Liu Mang did not hesitate to dial the director of the ESPN sports channel.

ridicule is ridicule, the mentality of the little blacksmith at the critical moment is simply ridiculously strong!

Whether you can vote or not is a matter of feel, but whether you dare to vote or not, whether you can vote resolutely or not, this is the most critical!

So in the next game, Liu Mang is determined to win!

Seeing that there are still 17,502 superstar points, Liu Mang tried the new version of the intermediate superstar value lottery!

"Uncle System! My brother, I'm going to draw a lottery! New Intermediate Superstar Value Draw! Liu Mang wants to be close to the system.

But it's a pity that the system ignores Liu Mang's flattery and says coldly: "The host uses the intermediate superstar value lottery to consume 10,000 superstar points, please specify a category The probability is doubled, and the chance of the remaining three categories is reduced to one-sixth; or block one category, and the other three categories have a 33% chance. ”

Liu Mang thought about it, star cards, action packs, special cards and props, action packs and props he didn't want now! He now wants star cards and special cards more.

But now the special card has removed the things that played a role in the rookie period and helped Liu Mang gain a foothold in the NBA.

In this way, special cards, action packs, and props, Liu Mang seems to have dropped to the same level.

Whichever one is blocked, there is still an equal chance of winning the other two.

Liu Mang made a decision: "System boss, my brother!" Double the chance of Star Cards! Brother, give me something good! It's been a long time since I've drawn something good! ”

"The chance of winning the host's selected star card is doubled, the chance of winning the star card is 50%, the chance of winning the action pack, special card, and prop is 1 in 6, and the lottery is ......in progress."

A blue box that he hadn't seen for half a year appeared in front of Liu Mang's eyes, and after a while, it disappeared with a "bang".

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for a burst of luck and a Manu Ginobili Pinnacle Card. ”

"Manu Ginobili 04-05 Edition: Ability Rating 89, Offense 95, Defense 70, Three-Point 83, Shooting 85, Layup 95, Speed 91, Power 77...... Traits: Cold-Blooded, Demon Knife, Skill: Alternative European Step ...... Note: Manu Ginobili is a left-handed player. ”

"Ding...... Manu Ginobili cards are available in advanced ways to be used, and the host can choose to use them. ”

"Ding...... The new rules for the use of star cards are 5 minutes of game time, 10 minutes of game time for super star cards, 10 minutes for the top star card, half a game for first-class stars, and a single game for the first-class star card. ”

When Liu Mang saw that he had drawn Ginobili's pinnacle star card, he stood for a few seconds, and then laughed wildly: "Hahahahaha, God will not kill me Liu!" Only 89 stats? Isn't that right...... Well, a career 43+35+81 hit rate...... It's more iron......-clad than the guy whose dad doesn't love mom and doesn't like to choose a steak name."

Liu Mang was ecstatic for the first time, and then felt that the ability value of 89 was too low, but seeing Ginobili's career data and thinking that Ginobili played with Duncan, a natural king, most of the time, he praised his good performance, and he didn't have to blame for his bad performance.

It's just that Liu Mang didn't expect Ginobili's career peak to be in the third year, and he found out that Ginobili will be 27 next summer! He remembers that Ginobili only retired in 2019...... How old is this still playing in the NBA......

Ginobili is not much stronger than Liu Mang in terms of absolute strength, but his ball quotient, and the "weird style of play" that is different from ordinary people, he definitely has the ability of top stars and even superstars on the offensive end, but the defense is too poor, not the conventional kind of difference, he can defend without the ball, and the top ball-handling offensive players in the NBA are not good, the key is the demon knife, hurting others and hurting himself, there are often some bizarre defensive mistakes, and even the mistakes that directly bury the team dare to send, which seriously drags down the retreat of his ability evaluation.

But if you can pick a star with an 89 ability rating in the third grade and a 95 rating on the offensive end from the last pick in the second round, do you still expect him to be like a true superstar? Not to mention, true superstars aren't perfect.

Liu Mang sighed that Popovich really dared to use people, Ginobili was 25 when he entered the NBA last year, right? It is bold enough to dare to bring such an older rookie in as the first substitute! However, it also shows the vision of the Spurs management and the courage that Popovich dares to use.

sighed, Liu Mang thought of the key thing, this star card can be used in advanced ways, that is, if the use conditions are met, the timeliness of this first-class star card can be increased to the whole game from only half a game!

Liu Mang immediately asked the system about the advanced use of Ginobili's star card, but he asked excitedly, and in the end Liu Mang was dumbfounded......

……

……

There was silence all night, and the next day, on the morning of the game with the Spurs, Liu Mang called all his teammates to the conference room, and the two veterans of Stockton and Kevin Willis were not called, and Liu Mang was afraid of being killed by the two veterans.

By the way, he also called Moron Wiley, who was holding a toolbox, because of what Liu Mang did on the 11th, when the Eagles were preparing for the game yesterday, Price almost called everything the team could call to cheer, and he didn't get so many tickets, he spent money to buy more than a dozen front-row tickets to cheer for his team.

"Ace, what are you calling us for? Needless to say! We get you! Let's fight for our honor together! Raheem is still the nominal boss of the team, and he was the first to come out to support Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was very moved by Rahim's support, but he could only say sorry in his heart, buddy is going to do bad things again......

Before Liu Mang could speak, Jason Terry also came to support him: "Ace, although I am very unhappy that you recorded the show and didn't take me, but you are right, we have to leave something for us in this world, you don't have to say too much!" We will definitely win today's game! ”

"......" Liu Mang felt more and more guilty in his heart.

"That's right, Ace, we've got your back!" This is Muhammad.

"Boss, we listen to you!" This is Prince and Kwame Brown.

"......" Liu Mang was even more hesitant and guilty in his heart!

Hearing the heartwarming words of his teammates, Liu Mang almost shook his mind, but ...... You can't just let the master lose face by himself!

"Brothers!" Liu Mang decisively turned on the power of the Führer, "Listen to me!" ”

The teammates all stopped their cries of support and listened to what Liu Mang had to say.

Although the Hawks players didn't say anything in the first two days, they had already been inspired by Liu Mang, trying to understand what they wanted, and understanding that maybe in the Hawks, it was the best opportunity for them to leave their names in NBA history, even if it was just a role player, but if they won the championship, their names would be left on the championship banner.

A role player, an average star, even a top star or a superstar, may never really win a championship in his lifetime.

Therefore, the fighting spirit of the Hawks has now burned to the fullest, and they want to defeat the Spurs, burn this fighting spirit, and consolidate their self-confidence!

It's not ordinary self-confidence, but the kind of self-confidence that is so arrogant that no one else has any interest in it except for the championship!

Liu Mang couldn't hold back the thought that he wanted to shake in his heart, as the saying goes, brothers are blessed and share hardships, and this blessing may not be shared by brothers, but it is necessary for everyone to share the difficulties.

Liu Mang thought back to the wording he had thought of and said: "Brothers, although we are now the first in the league, from today onwards, we will start again as a season!" That is, from scratch! So, let's get a uniform hairstyle today so that everyone can see our determination! ”

Liu Mang said the opening remarks impassionedly.

But Liu Mang neglected one thing, starting from the beginning, translated into English literally translated into Chinese means: go back to the beginning.

Jason Terry asked suspiciously, "Ace, is there any connection between hairstyles and starting from scratch?" ”

When Liu Mang heard this question, he thought of this stubble, but when it came to nonsense, inspiration always gushed out: "In our country, the head also has the meaning of beginning, in order to prove our determination to start from scratch, to prove our determination to do our best for the championship!" ”

"I see! That's why Ace called Moron to come along! One hairstyle for the whole team, that's so cool! Rasheed Wallace said excitedly.

In the past, Rashid Wallace was in the Trailblazers, except for a few people such as Sabonis, he had no friends, his appearance was one thing, and his salary cut was also one thing, which made him unsociable, and he liked this kind of "gregarious" thing very much, such as the unified hairstyle that Liu Mang said.

Some people support it, and others don't have any opinions, isn't it just a change of hairstyle.

At this time, Stockton and Kevin Willis, who had been waiting at the door just now, pushed the door in.

He heard that Liu Mang had gathered all his teammates, but he didn't call them, and he came to the conference room very unhappy, and when he heard Liu Mang's words, he also felt excited, but he was very unhappy.

Liu Mang saw the door being pushed open, and saw the two old men coming in, and their faces were not good!

"Ace, you didn't call us because we two old men were too old to be your brothers, didn't you?" Kevin Willis said dissatisfied.

"Ah...... It's not ......" Liu Mang feels so wronged, it's for the sake of the face of you two old-timers! Shame can't let the old-timers lose it too!

However, Liu Mang couldn't explain it, seeing Kevin Willis's dissatisfied expression, Stockton, who didn't speak, also revealed dissatisfaction from his eyes.

The loss is that Liu Mang's brain reacted quickly: "Kevin, John, it's not what you think, we boys are messing around, I'm afraid that you will laugh at us if we call you......"

Stockton was a little satisfied when he heard this, but he still said reproachfully: "Ace, although we are old, we are now a team, there is no need to take care of us deliberately, since it is a team matter, then we will come together!" Moron, help me get it too, I remember you're pretty good at it. ”

"I don't think I have this hairstyle yet, Jason - do you have a headband? Lend me one, only the red one? It just so happened that I tried a new hairstyle, which may not look good, but we are a team! Kevin Willis also said.

"Ace, are you sure everyone wants to get this hairstyle?" Moron Willie hesitated, the two veterans are here, if this causes dissatisfaction, his position as vice president will have to be taken off!!

Before Liu Mang could answer, Rahim said, "Molong, it's okay, get it for us!" ”

"That's right! Let's change our hairstyle together! It's cool to think about! Jason Terry chimed in, and was the guinea pig first: "I'll come first!" ”

"Okay......"

Moron Willy put the haircut cloth around Jason Terry and started dealing with the curly hair on Jason Terry's head.

The others only reacted at this time and saw the team's big center Ratliff, which had to be a uniform hairstyle...... I'll go! Everyone knows that this is the hairstyle that was originally going to be unified!

But they all agreed!

And...... Most of them are black, and this hairstyle ...... It's also acceptable.

And seeing that Liu Mang, who was not suitable for this hairstyle, he sat decisively after Jason Terry, and the second haircut, everyone else also lined up......
