When you meet someone who dares to challenge the bottom line of the law, it is best not to offend him.

For a guy who pulls out a gun without saying a word, and is brought to the locker room of the NBA team, Liu Mang thinks it's better not to offend, the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship of gentlemen in the narrow sense is that the two people who are communicating are open-minded, so there is no need to be vigilant, there is no need to pay attention to too much etiquette and polite words, there is no need to be too humble, it can be easy and natural, and the mood is as clear and transparent as water.

However, in a broad sense, the friendship of gentlemen means knowing each other and not being acquainted.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang finished a round of training, and Mike Woodson approached Liu Mang to have a joint practice with the second-grade team.

Liu Mang followed Mike Woodson to the Eagles' home team training ground, where everyone was already here and everyone they knew was chatting.

For example, the two big generals who have a good relationship, Jason Richardson and Richard Jefferson, obviously have nothing to do with each other, but Liu Mang feels that the two have an inexplicable relationship between the two of them, Liu Mang can't help but think of many unspeakable things when he sees the two.

Jason Richardson saw Liu Mang coming, and immediately came up to greet him warmly.

"Wow whoa, who's here! Oh, our Eastern Ticket King! Haha, Ace, long time no see! Enthusiastic Jason Richardson came up and hugged Liu Mang.

"Nononono, Jason, you're wrong, I'm not just the Eastern Conference ticket king, I'm about to be the slam dunk champion, yes, it's to win you!" Liu Mang also shouted and went up and hugged Jason Richardson.

"No way, although you and Carter are both strong, I am the current dunk king, you wait, the dunk that I didn't have the chance to use last year will be used this year!"

"I've got a lot of dunks too, see who's going to have the last laugh then?"

"Hahahaha, okay, it's up to whom...... ...... the last laugh"

Why do the two talk so exaggeratedly? Because there are reporters here, they are filming.

It's just that Jason Richardson didn't understand the last phrase of the smile, this sentence, if you don't know how to translate it into English, purely from the literal analysis, will become what Liu Mang expressed for Jason Richardson to hear: at the end of the smile......

"Hello, Ace." Richard Jefferson was not so friendly to Liu Mang, but he still hugged him, and his left shoulder touched his left shoulder in a polite hug.

"Hi Ace, long time no see." Gasol and Battier both shook hands, until Liu Mang actually didn't like hugging so much, they asked the reason, and the answer made the two of them star.

Parker, Chandler, and Kirilenko, who were not so familiar with each other, also hugged and gave each other face.

Finally, there is Arenas.

"Hey Ace, it's a shame I didn't play against you last season, but we'll be able to play each other soon this year." Arenas has confidence written on his face and wants to challenge the player, who is known as the leader of the younger generation.

"Oh, that's cool." Liu Mang responded, and also expressed his fighting spirit.

There is not too much politeness, Liu Mang looks at each other as future competitors, does not want to get too close, and does not deliberately distance himself, it can be regarded as a gentleman's friend, and he only has friendship as an opponent.

Just like Francis, Jason Terry was the rookie in that class of rookies who wanted to challenge the most on the outside, and Liu Mang was also the rookie in 2000 and 2001 who wanted to challenge the most.

Judging from this stage, Liu Mang is undoubtedly the best developed rookie in the same class, just like the previous superstars when they were young, they started as an all-star in the second year, Arenas and Gasol have developed similarly, the data are good, Gasol averages 19+9+3 per game, just like an all-round core center.

Liu Mang and Gasol haven't seen each other for a long time, and they haven't played each other this season, and the six consecutive road trips in the West that will start after All-Star Weekend are one of the games against the weak Grizzlies.

After getting acquainted, everyone warmed up and started training.

There are no very special tactics, just some simple small cooperation, everyone is a temporary army, it is impossible to run out of good tactics, just make do with the fight, Mike Woodson according to the characteristics of the players, formulated a few small tactics, that is, to make a show, when the time comes to the game, maybe none of them can be played.

Especially Liu Mang here, there is no tactic design, Liu Mang will show up when he goes up, throw two three-pointers at most, and dunk the basket.

Liu Mang saw that other people were practicing tactics, and he looked at the comparison of the lineups of the two teams on the side, he didn't care much about it before, he didn't want to play, so he didn't pay attention, but now when he looks at it, it's a big problem!

It's so hard to win in the second grade! Especially the way of playing in this era!

Liu Mang was just about to mourn for the temporary army he was in, and he was about to be detained, but at this moment, the prompt that had not come, and the prompt that Liu Mang had been waiting for finally came.

"Ding...... All-Star Weekend Mission Released, Long-Term Mission: All-Star King. Optional Mission: In the name of Mentoring. ”

"All-Star King: Win all the best in your career in the Rookie Game, All-Star Official Game, All-Star Regular Triathlon. Completed: All-Star Rookie Game MVP, All-Star MVP, Three-Point Contest Champion. To be completed: Slam Dunk Contest Champion, Skills Challenge Champion. Reward: 1 Talent Skill Shard. ”

"In the name of coaching: try to be the head coach once today and lead the sophomore team to a tough win over the first graders. Mission Reward: Gilbert Arenas Pinnacle Card. Failure Penalty: None. ”

"Gilbert Arenas Peak Edition: Ability 91, Offense 97, Defense 69, Three-Point 85, Shooting 89, Layup 86, Speed 93, Power 82......"

it! Although this mission came a little suddenly, it has finally arrived!

The King of All-Stars! A Talent Skill Shard!

Liu Mang already has a talent skill fragment himself, if he gets the best sixth man twice in a row, there will be one, plus if this task can be completed this year, there will be three, then there are still two left, and you can activate the talent skill without 1 million superstar values!

If you have enough talent skill shards and 1 million superstar points, then ...... There's a dual-talent skill that no one has ever had!

That's a good job!

Optional Tasks...... It's not bad, Arenas pinnacle star card, it's also a good thing! Although the defense is simply spicy, but the top three-point shooting, close to the top of the top shot, good layups, power and speed are very strong, it is simply the ability of the perfect scoring point guard.

Originally, Liu Mang was not interested in this game, but now the tiger body was shocked, and he quickly called this group of temporary teammates together, and saw the curious and puzzled eyes of the eight teammates, Liu Mang said: "Hey, brothers, do you want to win this rookie game?" Isn't it a bit big! ”

"We have Ace, how can we lose!" Jason Richardson has always admired Liu Mang very much.

"Just have Gilbert, I won't be able to play for long today, this is the decision of the coaching staff and management" Liu Mang shrugged helplessly, throwing the responsibility to the management first, "But don't worry, the tallest big man on the opposite side won't play for long, but even if the big man on the opposite side only plays for a while, our problem is also very big, you look at the lineup, we only have two big men, Tyson and Paul, have you found this?" ”

Hearing Liu Mang's words, everyone looked around, only to realize that it seemed to be really the case!

The sophomore team, there is no Heywood and others this year, only Gasol and Chandler are left, even if Gasol can play big forward, but the problem is that there is no substitute inside!

And on the rookie team's side, even if Yao Ming only comes up to play soy sauce, there are also four big inside lines, Nene , Stoudemire , Lone Lamp Master, and Boozer, which are ridiculously strong, and these four big inside lines make people look red, and these four people are received into a team, which is definitely the strongest inside combination in the league, of course, on paper, if you really get together to play a season, it is really not enough for one ball, and the playing time is not enough.

Liu Mang and Yao Ming don't play, it doesn't make sense, Liu Mang can't get the MVP of the second rookie game, Yao Ming is a big center, and he is not a physical scoring master like Stoudemire and Duncan, and he can't get it, and he is an All-Star starter. In addition, there is also the explosion of the sophomore team's guard line this year, and the rookie team's interior line also exploded, and the two are still playing, which is to delay the performance of others, they have all been selected as All-Star starters, and if they play this again, they will definitely be criticized by the media.

Of course, most of the sophomores don't care about winning or losing such a game, and this time the first and second graders are not as hostile as last year, and the players have a good relationship.

But Arenas is different, Arenas wants to win! Arenas is just not happy with Jay Williams.

Seeing that everyone else didn't seem to be motivated, Arenas hurriedly said, "Brothers, if I can win today's game, I ...... Let's go to a nightclub tonight! ”

That's a lot of money for Arenas, who is still on a cheap rookie contract, and Atlanta is not cheap at All-Star Weekend.

This extra incentive is obviously more useful, and the second-year students were shocked and said that they would work hard.

Especially Arenas' teammate Jason Richardson, who came up and hugged Arenas' shoulders and said, "Gilbert, don't worry, we'll help you get the rookie game MVP, we're all brothers, so what's the polite do...... By the way, which store to go to completely? ”

"We'll talk about it then." Brother and sister! The corners of Arenas' mouth twitched, a group of animals thinking with their lower bodies, and they didn't do anything if they didn't give benefits.

Dali Nas asked Liu Mang, "Ace, do you have any way?" ”

"Nope." At this time, Liu Mang's expression instantly became quite cold.

"Uh......" Arenas was confused, what's wrong?

Arenas saw Liu Mang suddenly become so cold, a little overwhelmed, although he is a little cynical now, but he has not yet reached the domineering of the one side after becoming an all-star starter and a top star, and now seeing Liu Mang suddenly show an unhappy expression, he is a little afraid.

Where did you say the wrong thing?

Arenas' head is going to blow up, it doesn't look like there's any!

Arenas looked at the others, and the others were also at a loss, why did Liu Mang's face stink all of a sudden?

At this time, Gasol seemed to understand, and came to Arenas and whispered a few words, and Arenas looked at Liu Mang incredulously.

It's because I can't go to a nightclub, so I'm not happy!

Not being able to go to a nightclub is definitely unpleasant, the key is not being able to go to a nightclub, which surprised Arenas, that is, ...... This guy is not yet 21 years old?

Liu Mang glared at Gasol.

Sister-in-law is the eighth woman!
