Chapter 1240 1239. Prepare the ribbons and balloons! (210 for double monthly votes)
Liu Mang felt strange that McGrady didn't compete for MVP at this time.
This guy is so sneaky and sneaky, he deserves a beating!
McGrady has already turned on the FMVP mode this year, just like James Worthy of the Lakers in the Showtime era of the alternative dynasty with 5 championships in 8 years. McGrady has the possibility of a comeback, but Liu Mang will not give up easily!
In this case, let's compete fairly!
McGrady looked at the white clouds outside the window awkwardly for a long time. His myopia was a little tired. He turned his head and wanted to say something to Liu Mang. Liu Mang snorted arrogantly, turned his head and ignored McGrady.
McGrady smiled, put the back of the chair back a little, and leaned on it to sleep.
Liu Mang was so angry!
This guy, can't he say something nice! What's so cool!
To say something nice, Liu Mang...would not give up the MVP...but people are greedy, Liu Mang wanted to get benefits and wanted to hear nice words...
Coach Kruger, who had been paying attention to Liu Mang and McGrady, was relieved to see that there seemed to be nothing unusual between the two of them, just like the usual small quarrels, and there was no split like the OK combination.
The two people's arrogant appearance proved that their relationship was still very good.
In fact, McGrady didn't say anything, and he grabbed it himself, and he grabbed it without endangering the team. For Liu Mang, if Liu Mang wanted to fight, he didn't have to worry about face issues, which was also a good thing for the team.
This thing can't be given up. Although after the first game, I felt that I was much stronger than my opponent in terms of strength, but if the two absolute cores had a conflict...the Lakers' Big Four is a lesson.
Coach Kruger breathed a sigh of relief, the dynasty! Can't be buried in this kind of thing, he is ready, if there is really a conflict, he will sell his old face and go to Liu Mang to talk.
Fortunately, everything is fine...

Liu Mang and his teammates took the team charter plane to Los Angeles. The time is very tight. They arrived in Los Angeles today and will play the game tomorrow on the 10th.
Liu Mang's parents, three girls, bodyguards, servants and others chartered a plane to the hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, which they had booked at the end of the Eastern Conference Finals. They did not stay in the villa in Los Angeles because they could be closer to the villa hotel booked by the Hawks.
Liu Mang acted with his teammates this time. The finals are different from the regular season or Miami, which is a short flight from Atlanta. Especially the FMVP dispute between Liu Mang and McGrady has just become a hot topic. If Liu Mang and his teammates leave separately, who knows what news the media will write.
Although Liu Mang likes to make trouble, it would be bad if, even if it gives his teammates an illusion.
Changing the playing style in the regular season and trying to cooperate with teammates is not just for the three consecutive championships. Everything is based on the three consecutive championships. Now there is a strength advantage, and it is an obvious strength advantage. This advantage cannot be affected by such a small matter.
Only by ensuring the team's strength advantage can we better... compete with the sinister No. 3 player for the MVP!
Compared with two years ago, when the Hawks came to Los Angeles, the reporters they encountered were even crazier, but the traffic jam was okay!
After the Hawks team's accompanying management staff communicated with the road administration department and the police, the reporters were guided to Beverly Hills. Hawks owner Price temporarily rented a clubhouse that could be used as an interview location and held a temporary press conference to solve the current problem.
There are too many reporters in Los Angeles! Too many to give people a headache!
Liu Mang and others hurriedly wrote down the official answers to the questions temporarily arranged by the team's press officer and went to the press conference. In addition, Jason Terry, Rasheed Wallace, Mourning, Kwame Brown, Horry and others also received interview requests from the media. In this situation where hundreds of reporters came together, the Hawks could only agree.
This group of guys who kill with pens, it's better if there are fewer, almost all the major media related to basketball have come, not only the United States, but also other countries have come, and they can't not give face.
The interview was not a regular interview, but a roundtable meeting similar to the All-Star Weekend.
Liu Mang was surrounded by hundreds of reporters and asked a lot of questions. Liu Mang was not in the mood to make trouble. He also wanted to take an afternoon nap, so his answers were very official.
When asked about the Finals MVP, Liu Mang thought for a while and said: "Winning the championship and winning three consecutive championships are my goals. Of course, the Finals MVP is also great. Who doesn't want to win the Finals MVP for three consecutive years? It's just that winning the championship is the first choice. I won't affect the team because of this matter."
On the other hand, when McGrady was interviewed, he was more evasive than Liu Mang: "I became the MVP favorite? It's too unexpected. I just play well. Ace is our best player. But if there is a chance to win the MVP, of course it's great, then we have two Finals MVPs."
The two parties did not talk about the competition for MVP, which made the media very regretful. No matter how they asked, they couldn't pry open their mouths.
However... the two parties have many concerns, but others may not.
Dazui and Tianzun, who were gathered together and surrounded by dozens of reporters, began to speak wildly...
"MVP? It belongs to our team anyway."
As for the issue of who will win the finals MVP, the coaching staff had already issued a gag order to other players behind Liu Mang and McGrady's backs, not allowing them to talk about it.
But they can say other things!
When asked if he had the confidence to win the championship in Los Angeles, Jason Terry replied: "We will sweep them! They are not our opponents. We won the championship here in Los Angeles last time, and it will be the same this time!"
Jason Terry was direct, and Rasheed Wallace was even worse: "I think the Lakers should prepare ribbons and balloons for us. They now have Magic Johnson. They should be used to sending balloons to opponents at home to celebrate. We are happy to accept their gifts."
What Jason Terry said was actually okay. Rasheed Wallace's words hurt the hearts of some older Los Angeles reporters who were loyal to the Lakers!
After the content of the Hawks' press conference was spread, Los Angeles fans were collectively angry!
...
"Those bastards!" Kobe was furious! The opponent no longer took them seriously!
Kobe never lost his fighting spirit because of a 0-2 deficit. Even if he was 0-3, he would fight... The result is of course another matter. His fighting spirit is always praised.
Especially when Jason Terry said he would sweep them, Kobe was furious!
It is said that the more lonely a person is, the more delicate his mind is. Kobe is such a person, and he cares a lot about other people's opinions.
This time Kobe was completely enraged, and he didn't care about the patience that the Zen Master told him!
