Chapter 1262 1261. You must do better (410 for guaranteed monthly tickets)
"Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy of those old men in the Lakers! Is the owner of the Grizzlies blind? Hiring a Lakers player as general manager? Isn't this giving their core to the Lakers for free? ...&%&%...&..."
Liu Mang saw the news about Popovich, and he guessed that the Lakers would make trouble, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
However, Liu Mang saw that in the video of Popovich cursing, Popovich used the word "old man"...
Who is older, Logo or Popovich?
Liu Mang checked the website, and he didn't expect that Logo was older, and much older!
The ultimate three talls appeared. If the Lakers sent Odom, Gasol, and Yao Ming to the court together, where would Duncan stand?
There is only one question, how should the three talls be allocated playing opportunities?
Although Odom is a first-rate player in every position, there must be a focus...
Liu Mang simply stopped thinking about it. When the Lakers play next season, he can just watch their games and study them.
Liu Mang can't care too much about other people's affairs. The next step is to find a way to solve the problem of running-in of his own team. There are so many ways to play on his side...
Liu Mang is looking forward to seeing that his team has changed from a substitute lineup that has already fulfilled a certain talent to a lineup full of talent.
...
For domestic reporters, Liu Mang has summarized three types this year.
Interviews by domestic TV stations are more subtle, and they focus on harmony and stability; interviews by newspaper reporters from newspapers and magazines, which are still popular in this era, are more artistic, and the questions are well thought out; online media are more unrestrained, and they ask any sharp and explosive questions, especially at this time when there is no Internet law, online media dare to make up any stories.
As a public figure, Liu Mang increasingly dislikes online media. However, let alone knowing that the future is the Internet era, even now, the Internet has occupied most of the channels for fans to learn about the NBA. Not everyone has time to watch TV or read newspapers or have money to buy magazines.
When Liu Mang returned to China to participate in the last six promotional stops, the most frequently asked questions about Liu Mang were about trades, trades with his own team, trades with other teams, and so on.
While Liu Mang was participating in endorsement activities in China, trades and signings in the league were flying everywhere, but none of them could match the madness of the Lakers forming the new Big Four and the Hawks and Spurs, two teams that might succeed in forming the Big Four.
When the attention was taken away by the Hawks, Lakers, and Spurs, the three teams that monopolized the championship in the new century, the trades of other teams were carried out very quickly in more than half a month. When Liu Mang finished his business activities and returned to Atlanta on July 16, the NBA had already changed!
…
…
"Heartless guy, are you so happy after leaving the boss who takes care of you and loves you the most?" Liu Mang wanted to kick Iguodala.
On July 16, after Liu Mang returned to Atlanta, Rasheed Wallace organized a party in Miami on July 17, calling all his teammates from last season.
Mourning went to the Suns, but was not cut. The Suns fired their head coach D'Antoni and promoted assistant coach Alvin Gentry. Now they are building a weird lineup.
Barry was cut, but signed by the Rockets. Even if he won the championship, he still wanted to play for a few more years.
Calderon was traded to the Suns, but he got more opportunities. Nash is over 30. The Suns changed to a head coach who doesn't treat Nash to death. Maybe Nash will have more rest. If Stoudemire returns in good condition, the Suns' strength will be greatly improved, and he, the backup point guard, will have more opportunities to perform.
Josh Smith and Andre Iguodala... What they are pursuing now is to have a team where they can take on important responsibilities. Now they are satisfied. Houston and Phoenix... Although the two brothers have separated, they said that they will work hard to get along well...
Phoenix and Houston! Ten thousand times better than Minnesota in the ice and snow!
Iguodala saw Liu Mang's contemptuous look and heard what Liu Mang said. He cried in his heart: Yes, boss, you make me carry exaggeratedly large boxes every day, and I have trained my kirin arms.
Iguodala is very happy now. Going to the Rockets to partner with two young players, Gay and Bynum, has the opportunity to create his own career.
Looking at Iguodala's annoyed expression, Liu Mang continued: "What's wrong, are you feeling guilty, are you feeling guilty? Humph, if you can't get the maximum salary in the future, I will abuse you every time I see you, and I will find you every time I play against the Rockets."
Iguodala's eyes widened: "Boss, don't, our Rockets are so weak, you can just play casually..."
"Yo, it's your Rockets..." Liu Mang continued to despise.
"..." Iguodala was speechless. This boss is about to enter the sixth year of his career, why is he still so childish... But Iguodala was quite moved. There was a point in Liu Mang's words, hoping that he could get the maximum salary.
Compared with Josh Smith, who is an inside player, Iguodala actually suffers more prejudice. It is right to be optimistic about his potential, but it is too difficult for the outside potential to play out. His previous performance was good because there were three All-Star starters around him, and he could easily organize the offense and attack the basket.
Although it is difficult to bring out the potential inside players, they are inside players, which is rare. Josh Smith just went to the Suns and got an early contract extension with an average annual contract of 10 million. Iguodala still has to prove himself.
However, relatively speaking, if the outside potential stocks really come out, they will definitely get the maximum salary. Inside players are more rare, and outside players can attract fans more... Kwame Brown, Ben Wallace, Marion and other inside players played so well, but they were not paid the maximum salary. It seems that super inside players are easy to get the maximum salary, but in fact, except for the four power forwards and Yao Shark, Rasheed Wallace has never received the maximum salary.
Liu Mang and his teammates got together. This separation was the happiest one for everyone. Everyone had a good home, except for the four times when he was used as a bargaining chip. Every time he thought he was going to change his club, but in the end he didn't leave. Now Rasheed Wallace is left hanging.
Rasheed Wallace is a jerk. If he can't leave, he'll stay. He still has three years of contract, totaling 27.69 million US dollars. It doesn't matter where he plays. He doesn't mind being traded. He also wants to go to a place where he has more opportunities to play. The Hawks have selected and traded so many inside players. His role will definitely be weakened. The Hawks have been guarding against his aging.
Liu Mang and his teammates gathered together to start preparing for the World Championships in mid-to-late August.
