"Ace, why did the Magic cut Hill?"

Price, the owner of the Eagles, in the remote video footage of the computer, was puzzled.

After Grant Hill requested a buyout, the first thing he contacted was the Hawks.

This came as a surprise to the Hawks management, mainly the management of Price, Coach Kruger, and Moron Wiley.

What's even more surprising is that the Magic team is actually very active in talking to Grant Hill about the buyout, and even agrees that Grant Hill will find a good home.

Looking at the boss who made money and didn't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, the Magic team made it clear that they wanted to save a sum of money, which was too obvious, Liu Mang resisted the urge to complain, analyzed it, and analyzed it from a long-term perspective: "The management of the Magic team has always judged the potential of young players very well, and they probably saw the potential of Tekoglu and Ariza. ”

"Will Ariza still be able to play?" Price was puzzled, after the Eagles sent Ariza out, Ariza wandered everywhere, and so far he has not performed too well, offensive iron, defensive impulsive, but Liu Mang said this, Price felt that it was a loss to send Ariza out.

"It's a shame boss, I think Ariza is going to be as good a defensive player as Sean Battier." Liu Mang responded.

Schwartz also sent a message to Liu Mang, asking Liu Mang to promote the signing as much as possible.

Ariza is also a member of Liu Mang's agency, Grant Hill is still in the Magic, he is definitely the first choice for the small forward position of the Magic team, Turkoglu is ranked second in the big and small forward swing man, Ariza is only in the fourth place on the front line, and the fourth place sounds good, but Grant Hill has to play 278 minutes a game, Raheem has to play 378 minutes a game, and after Tekoglu has divided some time, Ariza will only play a few minutes of garbage time or transition periods, and basically has no chance to perform.

If Grant Hill is gone, Ariza will be the first bench at the small forward position.

Anyway, after Grant Hill and the Magic agreed to buy out, the Hawks only have the option of signing with a base salary exception, and the Hawks will not lose, but it is a good development opportunity for Ariza.

"Could it be because of Hill's injury concerns?" Price was still not reassured.

Liu Mang hurriedly said: "Boss, we signed with the base salary, we won't suffer, we have Thomas Carter, the best doctor in the league, O'Neal can be alive, Hill will definitely have no problem." ”

Price discussed it with Stockton, Coach Kruger, Mike Woodson and others, and finally decided to give Grant Hill a positive response, as long as he is willing to come, the Hawks are willing to accept it!

"I hesitated for a long time to pick up a bargain, and Xiao Yebai hooked up with the pianist." Liu Mang was powerless to complain about the vision of his team owner.

……

"Grant, why did you choose this time to come?" Liu Mang asked curiously.

After a brief meeting with the team, Liu Mang asked for Grant Hill's phone number, gave him a call, and asked about his confusion.

"I've been waiting, if there's a strong team that needs me, I'm going, I'm in good shape, I'm afraid that in two years, my legs won't allow me to play anymore, I want to take the last chance." An answer came from the phone.

Grant Hill still has nothing to say, if he goes to hug his thighs next season, he needs to start the run-in from the new season, join in the weakest year of the Hawks in the past six seasons, start the run-in early, and when the team recruits next season, he can be more targeted when the team recruits next season, and he can also integrate into the Hawks earlier, providing better fighting power when the Hawks next time they rush to the championship.

Grant Hill, who has experienced a half-season delay after Jordan's comeback and will start a three-game championship again next season, is very confident in the Hawks.

Liu Mang scored 64 points on the Magic team, most of the time Grant Hill and Ariza were in defense, Grant Hill was too yearning for Liu Mang's strength, if he had such a teammate back then, he would have won the championship a long time ago.

Grant Hill was supposed to have such a teammate, but at the peak of that teammate, he himself was reimbursed for four years in a row......

In the 04-05 season, when he was starting to recover a little, he was past his prime, and with a new top striker team-mate, he couldn't provide good support.

"If there is a strong team that needs me, I will go to ......" Hearing this, Liu Mang felt a strong sadness.

Liu Mang put himself into Grant Hill's situation, I can't imagine how Grant Hill has persevered in reimbursement for four consecutive years, from the 01-02 season to the 03-04 season, for four full seasons, Grant Hill only played 39 games, Liu Mang thought about what if he encountered such a situation...... If there is no medicine for injuries or illnesses...... It is estimated that he has long chosen to retire.

"He was prepared for a long time, and when someone recruited him, he took the initiative to buy out with Magic?" Liu Mang didn't dare to think deeply about what kind of psychological state Grant Hill was in to make such a psychological construction.

But if you encounter such an injury and want to win the championship before retiring, you can only be mentally prepared for this, Grant Hill's situation of reimbursement for four consecutive years, if you don't have the ability to foresee, everyone will think that he may retire directly because of injury one day, including himself.

Liu Mang was silent for a long time, there was no sound on the other end of the phone, and Liu Mang only felt a strong sadness.

After a long time, Liu Mang only said: "Come on, let's win the championship together!" ”

……

……

Taken the small lineup to the extreme?

Liu Mang found that it seemed to be like this.

Grant Hill can play both large and small forwards on the offensive end at this stage, and can defend the second to fourth positions on the defensive end, which to some extent makes up for the weakness of Marion, David Lee and Granger's lack of passing ability at the power forward position.

The center is still quite troublesome, Kwame Brown and Gortat can't pass the ball, but with Gortat and Grant Hill as the two substitutes, the situation will be much better.

Grant Hill is still negotiating a buyout with the Magic, and it will definitely be completed by February at the latest, otherwise the Magic will miss the opportunity to reduce the salary below the luxury tax threshold, Pat Garriti's mid-level contract with more than a year left on the team's option for next season, Liu Mang is sure that this will be the next target for the Magic team to clean up, but such a contract is not easy to trade, and the Magic team needs time to grind.

Originally, after the game with the Spurs, Liu Mang was very painful, but being able to get Hill so quickly made Liu Mang's originally depressed mood suddenly become a lot better!

The task, it's just a star card, you can get a stable veteran who can play until 2012 after recovering his health under Thomas Carter, and can still have an average of 10+3+2 data per game at the age of 40, a veteran with experience in fighting Jordan without falling behind, what else does Liu Mang have to be depressed about?

Facing the opponent who is about to challenge, Milicic led the Raptors, and Liu Mang was full of fighting spirit!

On January 28, at noon on the game day when the Hawks played the Raptors away, the Hawks announced that they would not renew the contract with Fetzel and Mark Madsen, and Mark Madsen will stay on the team as a trainer.

And Fitzel, in just ten days, made the Hawks see a lot of problems that he couldn't survive in the NBA.

Timid, but aggressive!

The heart is big, but the strength is not good.

Whether it was in the past or now, Fetzer gives people the impression that it is very bad, not good at all, empty body and good skills, but it is a hidden danger to keep it after all, it is better to let Granger play more, when carrying a heavy power forward, Granger is definitely far inferior to Fizer, but Granger is serious, hard-working, and has excellent personal qualities, so that the Eagles from management to players appreciate this teammate.

And cutting Feder, a forward, and Mark Madsen not renewing his contract, reducing the team to 13, not counting Wade, who has been reimbursed for the season, reducing the roster to at least 12 in the league, and cutting Fitzer when the number of active players on the team is increased to 13, is a signal from the Hawks to Grant Hill.

The spot is ready and waiting for you!

……

"It's time to fight Ace again, can we win? Will we lose? Can we win? We're going to lose......" Milicic was a little stunned as he picked the leaves of the potted plants in the break room.

The Raptors staff who came to call Milicic to warm up looked at the potted plant that was destroyed by Milicic on his lap, and felt distressed, and he had to change it again.

I don't know when Milicic will come to destroy these poor potted plants whenever he fights the Eagles.

Originally, after the Hawks lost Rashid Wallace, Milicic had great expectations for beating the Eagles, but when he saw Liu Mang, who was about to cry when he saw the training ground next door and Battier practicing with Battier this afternoon, he didn't dare to say hello.

Liu Mang's body is filled with that kind of fanatical feeling, it's terrible!

Obviously with contemporary Jordan and Richard Jefferson as teammates, Milicic still feels lonely and cold in the face of Liu Mang......

Milicic is the absolute core of the Raptors, and the Raptors regard him as the core of the next ten years like Big Dream and Duncan......

……

……

At 6:40 p.m. on the 28th, the Hawks' away game against the Raptors was about to begin, and the players of both teams entered the court.

There is no live broadcast of this match today, only the live broadcast of CBTV in Canada.

Liu Mang played the Spurs and encountered such a situation, was surrounded and suppressed by the Spurs team, and hit 6 of 19 shots, giving other teams "tips", and Liu Mang has 3 games left this month, and there are still 127 points missing, so that Liu Mang's chance of hitting 700 points has become very slim, and the enthusiasm of many fans who want to see the record has gradually dissipated.

In terms of the scoring title...... Arenas has no chance, let Arenas score desperately, he has the strength to average 30 points per game, but an average of 30 points per game is already the limit of Arenas.

Although Liu Mang played the Spurs and dropped an average of 0.1 points per game, he also averaged 32.1 points per game, which has opened up the gap with Arenas, Arenas has no chance, people feel very sure of the belonging of the scoring champion, although Arenas is still fighting, but people don't expect much from Arenas, and their enthusiasm has gradually come down, attracted by the news that the All-Star starters and Grant Hill want to buy out, and the Hawks finally did not continue to get the broadcast after nine consecutive national live broadcasts.

The saddest thing about this is the Raptors players, who really want to broadcast live across the United States......

If Milicic were a team in the United States, the number of live broadcasts in the United States could be improved by a notch, but in Canada, Carter didn't get many live broadcasts in the United States that year, even if he was the All-Star voting champion, he could win the number of live broadcasts in the United States in the early 10s......

"Darko Milicic, Aptitude Rating 91, Joe Johnson, Aptitude Rating 88, Richard Jefferson, Aptitude Rating 87, T.J. Ford, Aptitude Rating 75, Andre Baniani, Aptitude Rating 76......"

Liu Mang looked at the starting lineup of the Raptors, which is very good, the three core positions fit well, contemporary Jordan is getting better and better, averaging 23 points, 4 boards and 3 assists per game, Richard Jefferson averages 18 points and 6 boards per game, Milicic averages 14 points, 8 boards, 6 assists and 2.7 blocks per game, and TJ Ford averages 8 points and 4 assists per game.

Banyani has also made some progress from the beginning of the season, averaging 7 points and 3 rebounds per game, as a shooting power forward with an average of 20+ points per game in the future, he also has potential, but he was born at the wrong time.

"Let's get started! Let's go! Let's go! ”

Liu Mang was full of energy today, and when he knew that Grant Hill had the idea of joining the Hawks, many of his ideas for the next offseason had a good start!

This represents a very important thing!

When their record so far in the regular season this season is like that, other teams that are aiming to compete for the championship, or teams that are aiming to compete for the championship in the future, have relaxed their encirclement and suppression, which is excellent news for Liu Mang, there are two bulls, Cavaliers, and Lakers over there to attract the attention of the record, and Liu Mang feels the benefits of the Spurs' obscene development.

So...... Liu Mang wants to divert the attention of fans and opponents from their Eagles team to him alone......

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game between the Hawks and Raptors begins!

The Eagles fielded a starting lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, Maddie, Marion, and Kwame Brown.

The Raptors have been a regular starter this season, with TJ Ford, Joe Johnson, Richard Jefferson, Bargnani, and Milicic in the starting lineup.

As soon as seven o'clock arrived, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air.

Kwame Brown wins a jump ball from Milicic and the Hawks take the lead.

There is no chance to break fast at the beginning, and the weak team may still have no motivation to chase after the players know that Liu Mang will start with a fast attack, but the Raptors have risen, Richard Jefferson stuck to Liu Mang for the first time, Liu Mang didn't even have room to start, and Richard Jefferson was ready to lose the jump ball.

Garnett, Howard, Kwame Brown, and Bosh, the four jump ball kings, except for them playing against each other, when other teams encounter them, most of the jump balls are lost.

Therefore, the Raptors have long been prepared for Liu Mang and Maddy to start quickly, and Maddy's side was also pressed by Joe Johnson at half time.

Liu Mang was not in a hurry, ran to the frontcourt, waited for Rondo to advance over, and then came to the top arc and Rondo to block and dismantle.

Rondo handed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang blocked and dismantled and changed to block and dismantle, Rondo in turn helped Liu Mang block Joe Johnson, Liu Mang bypassed Rondo, and directly pulled out a three-point shot......

Simple and crude!

With very little space, Liu Mang unexpectedly voted directly!

And...... Entered!

This ball made Milicic, who was still preparing to help defend under the basket, feel that his heart had suffered a critical blow!

The fans at the scene couldn't help but let out a "oh ......".

And Liu Mang's side......

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for +1 three-point shooting ability, and the three-point shooting rating has been increased to 97. ”

Half of the season has been played, from the end of July to now after half a year of hard training, Liu Mang has improved from 95 to 96 three points before, and suddenly, after shooting a wave of three points, it has suddenly increased to 97!

After the three-point shot, when Liu Mang was pretending to be forced to retreat with an expressionless face, he almost fell down with a weak leg, but fortunately he reacted quickly, turned around, and retreated in a backward way.

"It's so dangerous, I almost lost my face......" Liu Mang wiped the cold sweat that broke out.

"But what's going on?" Liu Mang didn't know how the three-point evaluation was improved?

"Crazy waves can be quickly raised?" Liu Mang felt that it was wrong!

In the 03-04 and 04-05 seasons, he was a wave enough, but he didn't improve quickly, and he still made steady progress step by step, of course, compared to himself, his progress was terrifying enough for others.

"Or do you need to play more open-ended when you reach a certain level of strength?" Liu Mang is still not sure.

But it's a good thing that the strength has improved, and I will continue to try it next time......

Using waves to show your personal ability is the key to developing your own offensive methods, but the usual training is the foundation, and laying a solid foundation is the same as repairing a house.

Liu Mang's years of hard work, coupled with last season's steady training skills and improved stability, Liu Mang played a shooting rate of 51+43+88 last season, and after crazy training, he played a stable season, and when the three-point ability evaluation was slow to improve, he still tried his best to polish his shots.

If Liu Mang had given up his efforts when the improvement of his three-point rating had almost stagnated, there would have been no sudden improvement after trying an open-ended style of play during this time.

But...... He didn't give up, and his previous efforts, on this day, finally got their due reward!
