Chapter 1131 1130. Troubles of Being a Gangster (Close to 17,000 in the Fifth Update, Please Vote)

A rare moment of leisure.

Liu Mang sat on the small rooftop on the roof, looking at the full moon in the sky. Liu Mang leaned on the recliner and didn't want to move.

It's not that Liu Mang has never been to Houston before, it's just that he didn't come here so leisurely. Now he realizes that Houston is not what he imagined.

This highly developed city, famous for its oil extraction, refinery processing, and NASA, did not see the starry sky when looking up as Liu Mang imagined. Instead, the sky was very clear. If it hadn't happened to be the Lantern Festival today, the moon would be particularly bright, he said. Maybe you can even see the stars in the sky.

Liu Mang is currently in Houston, on the small rooftop next to the chimney of the villa that Yao Ming has not yet sold.

On February 10th, Yao Ming had already asked his fiancée to hire a cleaning company to clean the old villa where they used to live and equip it with new daily necessities to entertain Liu Mang, who was coming to Houston with his family for the All-Star Weekend. family.

Liu Mang's family took a charter flight to Houston at noon on the 12th and stayed at Yao Ming's villa.

As for Yao Ming, he stayed in a hotel booked by the Rockets for All-Star players and stars participating in various All-Star weekend events.

Not many stars participating in the All-Star Weekend have come to Houston at this time. All teams’ games have been played on the 11th. Each team has a rest period ranging from 7 to 9 days. The 15th to 17th is During the three game days of the All-Star Weekend, except for a few stars with signature shoes who need to come to Houston early to take advantage of the All-Star Weekend to promote their sneakers, most of them don't come until the 14th.

Liu Mang had a New Year's dinner with his family, drank some red wine, and then went to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze.

Now Liu Mang felt a little melancholy, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

Thinking of the situation so far this season, Liu Mang was very happy, but besides being happy, he was also deeply melancholy.

Liu Mang looked at the moon in the sky, his thoughts in his head were mixed. No matter what he wanted to think about, he didn't have a good clue. Thinking about it here and there, his head felt like a mess.

There were many things that Liu Mang felt very entangled with, but Liu Mang himself couldn't figure out what exactly he should be entangled with.

Just when Liu Mang was looking at the stars with his head in a daze, footsteps came from the stairs. Liu Mang thought it was a little loli running up for fun. Just when he was about to say a few words, he stood up and saw that It was my father, who came up with a small stool and a bottle of wine.

"Dad, why are you here? You drank so much and climbed the stairs. It's too dangerous." Liu Mang quickly went up to help his father. To celebrate the Chinese New Year tonight, Liu Mang's father drank a little more.

"It's okay, that foreigner's wine is nothing!" Liu Mang's father sat on the bench, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and took out the two small wine glasses in his pocket: "Come on, Master The two of us are quite white, and we have never had a drink alone."

Liu Mang took the wine glass in a daze. Why were he ready to drink two glasses?

Liu Mang drank a drink and didn't say anything, mainly because he didn't know what to say.

No matter how old they are, most people will be very reserved when drinking with their parents, and Liu Mang is the same.

"Mangzi, what seems to be bothering you these past two days?" Liu Mang's father asked after taking a sip.

"I'm fine..."

Before Liu Mang finished speaking, his father interrupted: "You are my son, can I tell that you are worried? You usually hold Xiuxiu and Dinah and play around in your free time, but this afternoon you still After dinner, you were alone and silent, could I not tell?"

Liu Mang didn't expect that this cheap dad actually cared about him. He always cared about his grandson.

In fact, Liu Mang was a little confused when he went to bed at night after playing against the Heat yesterday.

When he first got Curry's star card, he was very excited. After seeing that the regular season mission of the third phase of the Reign series of missions about the Jordan star card was triggered, he was surprised at first, then excited, and finally... at night, When I was about to go to bed after applauding for love for a long time with Alexia, I became quiet. After entering the saint mode, I felt a little confused.

Liu Mang thought about his basketball career.

The current goal is to break 72 wins. After breaking 72 wins, there is no doubt that it will be three consecutive championships.

Regardless of whether there are follow-up tasks, Liu Mang and his teammates' goal is to win three consecutive championships and cannot accept failure.

But three consecutive championships is not so far-fetched for the Eagles this season. On the contrary, the probability is extremely high!

If the situation in the original time and space were to be followed, the 2005-06 season in the Western Conference should be the weakest year in the decade since the beginning of the new century. The Eastern Conference has the Pistons and the Heat, and it is the strongest year after Jordan retired. The regular season champion is the Pistons. In the Western Conference, the Spurs have fallen into the usual low period after winning the championship. The Suns have done nothing in the playoffs. Apart from the strong Mavericks, there are no other real championship teams in the Western Conference, making it easy for the Mavericks to advance. In the finals, you can play on the heat.

If the Mavericks, who had Jason Terry in the original time and space, were moved to this time and space, and easily reached the finals, then in this time and space, the Hawks led by Liu Mang would reach the finals this season, and it would not be easy to win the championship. The team is missing its best sixth man.

But in this time and space, the Mavericks did not get Jason Terry, and had a substitute in Jamal Crawford. Jamal Crawford and Jason Terry, the gap is obvious. One is in the original time and space. The Eagle King is just the best sixth man.

The Mavericks are on par with the Lakers and Suns this season. They don't have the same strength as the Suns in time and space. The Spurs did not win the championship and are now more eager to win than last season.

Moreover, the West also has the SuperSonics and Lakers. The battle between the five teams that want to win the championship is bound to cause a lot of internal friction.

As for the Hawks, the Pistons have collapsed. They look good, but they have long been separated from each other. From the players and management to the players and players, they are no longer as united as they were in the past two years, and they cannot threaten the Hawks. .

On the Heat side, the Eagles also have an advantage, and Liu Mang is confident enough to win the series within six games.

Beyond that, there is no team in the East that can compete with the Hawks.

After Liu Mang saw the task of getting Jordan's star card, he began to dream about his team's three consecutive championships.

But when I imagined that a dynasty was about to be established, I suddenly felt a sense of emptiness...

The dynasty is established, what is the next goal?

Liu Mang was a little confused, feeling like Jordan after winning his first three consecutive championships.

But Liu Mang knew that he hadn't won three consecutive championships yet, so he couldn't feel that way and couldn't slack off.

Many defending champions become arrogant and complacent in the second year after winning the championship in the first year, and their status collapses because they feel that they have already won the championship and are the strongest in the league. The first thing that arises is mentality problems.

Liu Mang has done a lot of things this season to prevent the team from feeling slack.

Therefore, Liu Mang tried hard to remind himself not to slack off because of these things. He has not established a dynasty yet, so don't really regard himself as having already established a dynasty.

But the more he hinted that he shouldn't think about it, the more Liu Mang thought about it.

People are like this. They talk at length when trying to reason with others, but when it comes to oneself, it's not that easy.

The main thing is that he has the Curry star card, and there may be a chance to get the Jordan star card. Whether it is from improving his three-pointers or having greater protection in the finals, Liu Mang can't help but fantasize about three consecutive games. What happens after the crown.

Thinking about three consecutive championships, Liu Mang began to feel empty.

Having established a dynasty, what other goals is worth striving for in the NBA?

Do you want to learn from Jordan, play other sports, and then come back after rediscovering your passion for basketball?

All kinds of messy thoughts made Liu Mang's head a mess.

Watching his father take another sip of wine, Liu Mang thought for a while and consulted with his father who had life experience. There might be some solutions.

Liu Mang replied: "Dad, tell me, now that I have won two consecutive championships in the NBA, I am probably a very great and amazing basketball player, right? But now I don't know what I will do in the future."

After listening to Liu Mang's words, Liu Mang's father drank another glass of wine, and then another glass of wine, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Liu Mang did not continue to ask, and just waited. When he asked his father, he was actually asking himself.

After drinking several drinks in a row, Liu Mang's father seemed to be a little drunk. He drank red first, then white, and soon became drunk.

Liu Mang's father asked Liu Mang to drive. He lay on the armchair, looked at the round moon and said: "Mangzi, your dad and I will be 50 years old next year. Your dad and I have nothing special to be proud of in this life." The thing I am most proud of is probably marrying your mother and giving birth to your Mangzi.

I never thought about what an amazing person you would become when you grow up, but you are really amazing now. Every time I see your posters on the street and see your news on TV, All proud of you.

Your dad and I are just an ordinary person, and I have no right to make irresponsible remarks about you, who is now a national hero.

But I am your dad, if you ask me, I will tell you.

I don’t know how far you can go in basketball in the future, but I hope you can go as far as you want and as great as you can become. You are still far inferior to those great players. , what you have achieved now has been achieved by someone in the NBA, and he is only ranked among the top ten in the basketball world.

Your dad, I can see that you like basketball very much. I am very happy that you can turn your favorite thing into your own career.

I don’t want to see you give up. I think my grandchildren, your cubs, will definitely be proud of you when they grow up and know how powerful you are.

Just like me, I'm proud of you..."

When Liu Mang heard the first sentence, he was a little stunned.

He never thought that he was so important in his father's heart!

The relationship between Liu Mang and his parents in this world was okay at first. It was the memory from before this time and space that gave him a feeling of family affection, but it took more than half a year to truly integrate into a family.

Therefore, Liu Mang has not really had a heart-to-heart talk with his parents. He is fine with his mother, but Liu Mang rarely communicates with his father, a standard Chinese father and son.

Liu Mang was not a person who was willing to talk about his troubles. He just asked questions under the influence of alcohol and asked himself by the way.

In fact, for Liu Mang now, all he needs is an affirmation and a little motivation, and that's enough!

"Dad, thank you, I understand..." Liu Mang really wanted to have a warm father-son conversation with his father and continue to talk in depth. The main reason was that he wanted to hear his father praise him more.

That feels so good!

It's just... just as Liu Mang finished saying thank you, he heard snoring...

This old man! I actually fell asleep while talking!

Liu Mang felt that the warmth he had aroused was suddenly shattered by his father's snoring!

Liu Mang was now even more depressed: "It's too much! You came up to see me for a drink, but you got drunk and fell asleep first... Forget it, you are the uncle, and I am just the young master..."

Liu Mang carefully picked up his father and carried him downstairs. Yao Ming's house was a two-story villa with three bedrooms on each floor. Liu Mang carried his father to the first floor, where the two girls and the old man were chatting. Mom got up immediately and came over.

"This damn old man, you drank so much..." Liu Mang's mother said that, but she carefully held Liu Mang's hand and carried Liu Mang's father back to the room where they lived together.

"Son, you go take a shower first. You smell of alcohol and went to the rooftop to blow in the air. Be careful of catching a cold. You athletes are very susceptible to colds. Aida has already put the hot water for you. Go and take a bath. Take a shower to get rid of the cold..."

Liu Mang's mother drove Liu Mang to take a bath and took care of her man by herself.

On Liu Mang's side, as soon as he entered the largest bathroom on the first floor, Levia and Alexia helped Liu Mang bring in hangover medicine and a change of clothes.

"Ace, are you still worried?" Alexia asked worriedly after putting the change of clothes into the basket.

Alexia's recent thoughts have been on her son and daughter, and she has not paid much attention to Liu Mang. After dinner in the evening, Liu Mang went to the rooftop to enjoy the breeze. Liu Mang's father went to the rooftop with a bottle of wine. Going to find Liu Mang, Alexia curiously asked Liu Mang's mother and found out that Liu Mang's father had noticed something was wrong with Liu Mang in the afternoon.

Alexia felt very guilty. After Liu Mang came down with his father in his arms, she wanted to ask him.

Levia seemed to care less about anything, but in fact her thoughts were much more delicate than Alexia's. She also looked at Liu Mang worriedly, but she didn't say anything, but she was actually more caring than Liu Mang's father. I paid attention to this pillow person first, but she was not good at saying those words.

The most important thing is that Levia doesn't know what is bothering Liu Mang. Liu Mang is the kind of character who reports good things but not bad things.

Liu Mang looked at the worried looks of the two girls and secretly locked the bathroom door from behind. Then he sighed, walked up and put his arms around the two girls' shoulders, and sat down on the edge of the bathtub together.

"What's wrong, Ace, tell us something? Is there anything you can't tell us?" Alexia said anxiously.

"I..." Liu Mang suddenly smiled evilly: "I haven't had the three of us come together for a long time, and I can't stand it anymore!"

Liu Mang said as he held one girl's tall mountain peak with one hand. Hearing the screams from the two girls, Liu Mang chuckled and said, "I saw last night, Senior Sister Aida, your figure has become better... …”

Senior sister, this title... is a bit unfamiliar, but it reminds Alexia of the first time she and Liu Mang applauded for love. Liu Mang kept calling her senior sister. Now think about it, Alexia Shia even found it exciting! I don't want to resist at all now.

"Your parents are on the first floor...ah..." Levia kept the eldest lady's calmness. Just as she was about to struggle, the evil big hand had already invaded the forbidden area.

"It doesn't matter, BIG-YAO said that in order to prevent his parents from hearing, he specially added several layers of sound insulation to all the bathrooms, so that nothing can be heard from outside..."
