294. It's all about team friendliness!
What do you want to do in New York?
Of course, you have to cover your face!
People here seem to hate themselves more than people in Los Angeles and Portland!
Liu Mang once again wore a hat and a mask as he walked through the streets.
"Dinah, I'm in Zukodi Park, but where the hell is that store you're talking about!" Liu Mang asked into the phone.
"Just down the street next to the tallest building."
"The tallest building? What's the tallest building in the neighborhood? Liu Mang looked around, the buildings were almost the same height, and they were all seven or eight storey shopping malls.
"Uncle is so stupid! That's it, the new 21st Century Mall next to the World Trade Center! ”
Liu Mang could feel Dinah's serious contempt from the phone.
Although Liu Mang usually spoils this little Lori, everything the little Lori says is right, but this time I can't bear it!
"The World Trade Center collapsed last year!"
"......" There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then Xiao Lori was still so tough, "Uncle, don't you know to find someone to ask?" New Century Mall is famous! ”
"......" It was Liu Mang's turn to be silent this time, "Your uncle is afraid of being killed by Knicks fans......"
……
On the afternoon of March 9th, the Hawks just flew from Miami to New York, and the next game is a popular game for the Hawks.
However, after Liu Mang came to New York, he first practiced 500 shots in the regular afternoon, and the first thing he did after the training was to buy a hat for Dinah.
Little Lori said that she would not spend the poor uncle's money, she would pay for it, and she had saved enough pocket money.
Finally, after finding a beautiful woman who seemed to be non-aggressive and was probably a high school girl, Liu Mang finally found this legendary 21st Century Mall.
As for why I was looking for a female high school student...... Mainly because the other party is a beautiful woman, female high school students and college students in the United States really can't see any difference, and their development is good.
Coming to the so-called 21st Century Mall, Liu Mang finally knew why it was "famous".
It's not a high-end mall, but it's not bad either, and it's not cheap, but it's not so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it.
This is an "old-fashioned" brand store that opened on December 31, 1999.
The so-called old era, that is to say, it is just a nice sound, in fact, it is a gathering place for discount stores of famous brands that change seasons, and the prices are usually one to three percent off in the hot season.
Although it is a seasonal thing, at least it is genuine, so many people who travel to New York like to come here to shop for something.
But...... Liu Mang is very curious, Dinah's family needs to come to this kind of place to buy things?
As a low-salary player like him who is too poor in the NBA, it is unlikely that he will come here to buy clothes, no matter what, he still wants to save face, or he will wear the current popular brand, or he will not join in the excitement.
Dialed Dinah again.
"Dinah, are you sure you bought the things you asked me to bring for you?" Liu Mang asked uncertainly.
"That's it, uncle, look for it, Gucci's discount store ......"
……
……
Back at the Trump International Hotel in Manhattan, passing by the indoor basketball court of the hotel rented by the Eagles, Jason Terry and Emmanuol were practicing under the angry gaze of Coach Crook.
Seeing Liu Mang swaying around with a wicked smile on his face, Jason Terry and Emmanuol were furious!
It all started when he was still at the Seaside International City Hotel in Miami last night, when Liu Mang returned to the hotel and overnight helped Jason Terry and Emmanuol write a "letter of repentance" about losing to the Heat.
It was very "sincere" and "sincere" to express his mistakes, saying that the poor play this time was all because the night in Miami was too beautiful, the scenery of the nightclub was too charming, and the girl's kung fu was too good......
Adhering to the ancient style of pre-Qin ornate rhetoric, and forcibly writing in precise Chinese English, not to mention, Americans can still understand it.
Real English conversation has nothing to do with those things in the domestic English test.
And the content of "written by two people" is not the same, the words are conclusive and the description is clear, so that when Jason Terry and Emmanuol saw the content, they really thought that they were too drunk and forgot that these things happened, and Liu Mang, who couldn't drink on the side, saw it.
But......
The party that Liu Mang attended was not drunk! It's all big guys, and even the waiters are big guys, okay!
Jason Terry and Emmanuol screamed in their hearts that they shouldn't offend this rookie!
Then, Coach Kruger, who was already angry, said that Jason Terry and Emmanuol would practice 1,000 threes by themselves......
It's good to practice shooting more, Liu Mang said that this is for the sake of team friendliness, and he has practiced it himself!
Back in the room, Liu Mang took out the beautiful shopping bag, looked at the Panamanian-style brand-name hat that seemed to him to be no different from the hat on the street for more than a dozen yuan, and then looked at the legendary brand-name hat in his hand that was 27,357.33 US dollars after a triple discount.
The original price of this broken hat is 90,000?
Liu Mang really couldn't see any difference between this and a hat of more than ten yuan on the side of the road.
Liu Mang couldn't help but feel sad that his imagination was limited by poverty: "Hey, it is said that people will one day become the person they hate...... I want that day to come! I hate rich people! ”
……
……
It's all a little episode, Jason Terriga "chased" Liu Mang all over the hotel after practice, but the Hawks players are used to this kind of picture.
"Jason, are you tired? Why don't I wait for you to rest for a while before you continue practicing the marathon? Liu Mang looked very relaxed, saying that his buddy could still run 10,000 meters.
Liu Mang's villainous appearance made Jason Terry crazy, but he couldn't catch this kid! It's so good to run and it's so physical!
However, sometimes the team has a rookie like Liu Mang who likes to do things when he has nothing to do, and the team atmosphere is called a speechless.
Yesterday's loss to the Heat and the fiasco, it was originally a very demoralizing and face-losing thing, so let's not talk about losing face.
Although the Heat's shooting yesterday was unbelievably accurate, the shooting rate was still 50% after the whole game, and they shot 36 of 71 from the field, but some of their defensive methods for the Hawks' counterattack gave inspiration to many teams and sounded a wake-up call for the Hawks coaching staff.
And Liu Mang made a fuss, and everyone later knew that it was Liu Mang who played Jason Terry and Emmanuol, and everyone was happy, including Coach Kruger, who couldn't get angry, and the dull losing atmosphere dissipated all of a sudden.
In March, New York also began to feel like spring, and after a few days of sunny days that were not too hot, the whole of New York seemed to warm up.
Liu Mang and Jason Terry chased them to the garden of the Tump Hotel.
"Eh, Jason." Liu Mang lay on the lawn of the hotel garden and shouted to Jason Terry, who was panting to the side.
"What's wrong, Ace?" Jason Terry made a fuss, and he didn't really get angry with Liu Mang, but he was yin by a rookie, and he felt very embarrassed, and his buddy also wanted to save face!
"Why do you think the hotel we stay in is always run by the Rumps?" Liu Mang is very curious, unless there is no Trump hotel in the city where the away game is located, such as Charlotte and Memphis, which are other five-star hotels, but as long as there is a Trump hotel, the Eagles will choose Trump's hotel.
"It seems that our team has an agreement with them, and the price may be cheaper." Jason Terry replied casually.
"I see, that's ......," Liu Mang thought of a woman who was too good to talk and too beautiful to be like.
"Jason, have you seen the eldest lady of the Tump family? I heard it's beautiful. ”
"I've heard of it, I haven't seen it, it seems to be a famous daughter among the upper class, it's not the same world as us, I'm not interested."
"Jason, you're at least a multimillionaire in the future! It's possible to earn 100 million for a long time......"
"It's not a question of money or not...... You don't understand if you pay it back, and one limit of other people's stocks is enough for us to earn for a few lifetimes. ”
Jason Terry is surprisingly not at all interested in the rich daughter.
Liu Mang also felt that Jason Terry was right, and when he thought of Ivanka, it happened to be because he was staying in the hotel opened by her family.
Mainly this season, this climate.
It has passed the two climates of the beginning of spring and the rain, and when it comes to the spring ploughing and sowing, the birds are beginning to enter the mating season......
