From August 29th to 31st, Liu Mang first went to the three European countries to publicize, taking advantage of the popularity of Europe brought by the just beating the American men's basketball team, Liu Mang's publicity was much more popular than last year, and he saw many fans wearing Eagles jerseys, hooligan league jerseys, and even fans wearing his No. 8 jersey of the Chinese team to the event site.

When he was doing publicity, the three girls were shopping for a lot, and when they heard that Liu Mang had a bonus from the state, they immediately wanted to buy it.

Liu Mang said that the prize is only 50,000 yuan, that is, less than 10,000 US dollars, and the three girls don't believe it......

……

At noon on September 1st, he returned to his home in Atlanta, he hadn't come back for a month, Liu Mang could finally relax his body and mind, and then sign a contract and go to the imperial capital to participate in the celebration banquet, which was a relaxed and happy thing.

Unconsciously, this place has really been regarded as a home by Liu Mang, although it ...... It's a bit like eating soft rice...... However, this feeling is still a little stimulating.

Before coming back, I had asked the cleaner to clean up the house, and when I got home, Liu Mang and the girl immediately went back to their respective rooms and fell asleep......

Early the next morning, Liu Mang got up early in the morning and prepared to continue training.

As soon as I woke up, the system prompt came.

"Ding...... Basketball Superstar Plate Upgrade Completed ......"

Liu Mang appeared in front of the system panel, first looked at the lottery template, thought that the system was going to make something moth, but I didn't expect the lottery system to change much, looked at all the plates, and found that the training system had changed!

There are two types of training modes.

The previous training mode has not changed, and the mission training system is still the same, belonging to the kind that does not necessarily get special rewards if you complete a thousand times, but 100 points of star value for a primary training task, 1000 points of star value for an intermediate mission, and 10,000 points of star value for an advanced mission are still very attractive.

It's just that Liu Mang has not been able to complete several intermediate tasks until now, 100 shots in 200 seconds, it is not difficult to say, but the three-point ability evaluation of less than 90 is still a little difficult, it is no problem to hit 100 shots with a high shooting rate, but if you refer to the three-point competition, shoot 25 balls in 60 seconds, and few people can shoot 20, Liu Mang trains normally most of the time, chooses to carry out primary tasks, and earns some superstar value of physical fitness medicine.

As for making 100 three-pointers in 150 seconds...... Liu Mang feels that if he progresses to Curry's three-point level, it will be possible to complete it, which is too difficult, and the task of shooting 100 three-pointers in 150 seconds is the end of the three-point training task, and after completion, he can obtain dribbling and fast shooting skills, that is, it is possible to be like Curry, holding the ball and shooting in 0.3 seconds.

What Liu Mang wants to achieve with three points is to be stronger than Curry......

Of course, Liu Mang doesn't think that he will be worse than Curry, and his playing style is too far behind.

However, this new version of the training system, Liu Mang feels very interesting, and it is more in line with his current needs, speaking of which, it is closer to the inheritance task when he used to train with Jordan, Stockton, and Ma Long, but it is not to double the success rate of his theft, but to really learn technology!

It's just that...... This system is a "pit" superstar value with different tricks!

"Superstar Training Mode: When the host learns the technique like a master of a certain basketball skill, you can pay the corresponding superstar value to speed up your memory and comprehension, and if you have used the star card of the ball, you will have an additional comprehension bonus."

What a coincidence! Isn't there 150,000 superstars now! Learn, learn, learn! Leave the 50,000 superstar points that were available at the beginning of the regular season, and learn the rest!

Before the Olympics, Liu Mang found Maddie and made an appointment to train together in September, and Maddie said that he wanted to find Kobe Bryant with him......

Liu Mang calculated, Kobe, Iverson, Jordan, Ginobili, Magic, it seems that he has used the star cards of these most powerful stars and all of them are quite in line with his position and style of play, other O'Neal, O'Neal Jr., Ben Wallace...... Forget it.

The experience of superstar ability, coupled with consulting with stars and training by himself, Liu Mang feels that this is really in line with the best way for a player who is not up or down as a top star.

Top stars, in fact, is a very awkward position, unless it is a type like Kidd, whose ability value is 94 but is more powerful than a superstar when leading the team, otherwise, most top stars, playing their entire careers, have no honor.

For example, Carter and Raheem, the data is good, but look at their honors at their peak, they have a three-lineup and an all-star.

If it's a first-class star, it's okay, like Francis, the style of play and strength are there, and not many people expect them to be able to be MVP for a while, but the strength of the top stars has exceeded that level, and people's expectations for them are already very high, but most of the top stars don't have the ability to lead the team to play well independently, and there is always something missing.

It's different if you cross the hurdle of superstars, even if you are in a bad team at the peak like Maddie and Kobe, at least the data can fly, and the top stars can't complete that kind of performance.

So the top stars are a very embarrassing position, the key is that their skills have been formed, and they don't know where to go in terms of training, it's okay to be the second leader in a strong team, if it's a bad team, you can only spend your days, such as Ray Allen.

Liu Mang is different, he can experience what abilities of those superstars are most suitable for him, and then go to learn, and then train hard by himself, of course, people are willing to teach, not everyone has nothing to do with Da Meng.

Now the best high-post back technique in front of Liu Mang is Kobe Bryant, Old Man Qiao has no way to learn it now, people are busy with the opening game of Zhang Luo's new team, and Liu Mang didn't bother in the first season.

Iverson's side is a gentleman's friend, the magicians have almost no intersection, and Ginobili is about to become a mortal enemy.

So, the target is Kobe.

Liu Mang doesn't know how Maddie and Kobe, two people with completely different personalities, got together, but this time, I really thank Maddie for his "assist", but how to get Kobe to teach skills, this is a difficult question, and the relationship with the little blacksmith is not very harmonious......

……

……

Yesterday the system upgrade was completed, a simple training, a good rest at home for a day, and Alexia discussed several times in the evening how life was born, this morning, Liu Mang and Schwartz, who came to pick him up, came to the Phillips Arena, Coach Kruger and owner Steven Price have been waiting for a long time, early in the morning, the two have been waiting.

Fortunately, Liu Mang didn't contact any other teams before, otherwise they would definitely not be able to sit still.

Trade Boozer and Raheem away, and they can be sure that Liu Mang will definitely be the one who is most injured.

"Ace, congratulations on your victory over the Dream Team." Price saw Liu Mang and came up and gave him a hug.

"Thank you." Liu Mang felt a little weird, defeating their American team, this boss seemed to be quite happy.

Price was a little confused when he saw Liu Mang's expression, and he didn't explain...... Of course he was happy! Liu Mang's positive comments in China are now surging, and the people who have benefited the most are the Hawks and the NBA in addition to Liu Mang himself, and the same is true for the Rockets facing Yao Ming.

The Lakers can't wait to renew the contract with Wang Zhizhi, O'Neal leaves, the Lakers really have no one inside, and Wang Zhizhi now has a good evaluation in China, and the Lakers, who are worried about the decline in the team's popularity after O'Neal, renew Kobe's contract, O'Neal's transaction is completed, and after the Olympics, the first goal is to renew the contract with Wang Zhizhi.

"Ace, congratulations." Coach Kruger came up and patted Liu Mang on the shoulder.

Coach Kruger is still the same strict teacher.

Returning to the team, Liu Mang was a lot more reluctant to separate from his teammates in the national team, leaving a group of teammates and having new teammates, which is Liu Mang's biggest growth after the departure of Raheem and Boozer.

After greeting each other, Price couldn't wait to bring Liu Mang to the office and took out the contract that had been negotiated with Schwartz a long time ago.

The lawyer brought by Liu Mang and Schwartz took a look at it, and there was no problem.

A five-year contract with a maximum salary of 78.83 million US dollars, a player option in the last year, a three-percent portrait fee, and the sales share of peripheral products cooperated by the Eagles and the Rogue League is the same as before, all of which are the best conditions that Liu Mang can get.

The starting salary of the contract is $12.53 million, or 25 percent of the salary cap.

Liu Mang and the Hawks are both behind the blame this time, because the finals are over in five games, so that the league's total income is "less" tens of millions of dollars, plus the entire Eastern Conference playoffs of the Hawks, adding up to only 12 games, and a part of the income is missing, originally before the start of last season, the expected salary cap for the 04-05 season was about 52 million US dollars, but now it is only 50 million US dollars, an increase of 1.09 million US dollars from the 03-04 season, lower than the initial expectation of 3 million US dollars.

Therefore, Liu Mang's top salary is also a little bit more than originally expected, the original maximum salary expected before the start of last season was 80 million for 5 years, but it is not bad, Liu Mang originally planned to jump out of the contract in the last year, and when it comes to 08 years, the contract can be renegotiated.

For Liu Mang to sign a 4+1 contract, the Eagles management is not surprised, who doesn't want to take more money, and when Liu Mang finishes the first four years of this contract, theoretically speaking, there is still a chance to get two six-year top salaries.

It's just that the Eagles have no reason to refuse, and Liu Mang should have taken the top salary.

Moreover, the Eagles are more eager than Liu Mang to renew the contract as soon as possible, the contract is not a problem at all, they can give as much as they can, they are much more anxious than Liu Mang, but when Liu Mang is playing in the Olympics, they can't let Liu Mang be distracted.

Seeing Ace happily signing the contract in quadruplicate, Price and Coach Kruger's hearts that had been hanging finally let go and smiled at each other.

"Ace, I believe that our cooperation in the next many years will be very pleasant." Price stretched out his hand and shook it with Liu Mang, and then took one of the contracts with Liu Mang, facing the videographer next to him who had already prepared to take pictures, which was to be used as a promotional photo.

Price is talking about many years, not the next five years, and the meaning is obvious, he wants Liu Mang to stay with the Eagles all the time, so he emphasized this matter.

Liu Mang didn't break anything, and took a group photo first......

……

After Liu Mang and the Eagles renewed their contract, they held a press conference in the afternoon to announce the matter.

Eagles fans finally put their minds at ease, Liu Mang won the scoring championship in the Olympics and killed the United States, which actually has little impact on American basketball fans, and few people hate Liu Mang because of this, they blame more for that group of players and coaches.

Larry Brown is already about to be sprayed to death, first "driving away" the Pistons' scarce strong small forward, destroying the Pistons' long-term team building plan, and making him sprayed by Pistons fans, and pretending to be Pistons fans and watching the excitement, and now he has taken the United States team to refresh the lower limit of the American team's performance in the Olympics, and after the participation of NBA players, the American team lost for the first time in the Olympic Games, and did not even make it to the semifinals.

Originally, after the disastrous defeat in the 2002 World Championships, the United States Blue Association wanted to find Larry Brown, who was famous at the time, to change the situation, but he didn't expect it to be even worse, at that time, the director of the American Blue Association, Cronjilo, was ready to let Larry Brown lead the United States team for four years, from the 03 qualifiers to the 06 World Championships, he hoped to form a four-year cycle, maintain a similar lineup, and make the players more tacit.

But now, due to pressure from the media and fans, Cronjilo can only announce that the national team has parted ways with Larry Brown and will decide on the new head coach of the U.S. men's basketball team before the next Pan American Basketball Championship.

When he saw this news, Liu Mang felt that it was too normal, the original American team only won third, and Larry Brown rolled up and left, if it weren't for the original history of him relying on the Pistons Five Tigers to win the NBA championship, his reputation would have been stinky, and he didn't have to wait until 2006 to scold Nate Robinson for being a "dwarf".

The day after signing the contract, Liu Mang, who had only rested for two days, returned to China and participated in the celebration banquet.

Mainly under the leadership of Li Nan and Li, I got to know some officials of the Blue Association.

It has become one of the representative tasks of the Chinese sports world, which Liu Mang must experience, Schwartz also emphasized that Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have given advice, so Liu Mang began to "smile" again, and everyone smiled and shook hands to greet each other......

After this Olympic Games, Liu Mang, together with Liu Xiang and Liu Yanan, the two Olympic champions, became the "Liu Family Triumvirate" of the Chinese Olympic team......

Time passed quickly, and in a flash, it was September 7th, Liu Mang had arrived at the vacation villa in Los Angeles, and the three girls had already gone to ask the housekeeper to clean up in advance.

James has already rented a training gym and is waiting for Liu Mang to call Kobe Bryant and Maddie to train together.

James is desperate to get into the circle of top players, and that's his career plan......
