Chapter 1376 1375. Exposed! (Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Ticket)
"Getting 50+ is easy? It seems so." Another No. 24 in Los Angeles agreed with Liu Mang's words.
But except for this guy, other stars in the league were crazy about it.
Especially Agent 0 in Washington...
Reporters love to stir up trouble. The next day, they asked Arenas, the star player of the Wizards, who was going to play the next game in the evening, what he thought about what Liu Mang said last night.
"50+ is easy? I XXXXXX..."
Arenas thought so in his heart, but he still had to keep up his face on the surface: "It won't be difficult for us to get 40 points or 50 points, but we are more concerned about winning. If we don't win, getting 50 points is meaningless."
The reporter heard what Arenas meant, saying that Liu Mang lost in the three consecutive 50+ games, and Arenas won all the games with 50+ points, although he only scored 50+ three times, including this time's 61 points.
And even if Arenas didn't mean that, he also believed that was what he meant, anyway, it was right to write it that way...
Anas' response was obviously provoked by Liu Mang, and it felt like he was speaking without thinking, which made this scoring title competition interesting.
When Liu Mang competed with McGrady and Kobe for the scoring title in the past, Kobe and McGrady didn't say such things. Most of the time, Liu Mang provoked unilaterally. Kobe and McGrady were both taciturn and careless, and they both spoke with actual performance. Arenas directly started to fight this time!
As for Liu Mang, after three consecutive games of 50+, he rested well at home on January 17th. He said he was resting, but he was actually studying the Bulls and Magic. The next away back-to-back games were too difficult. He felt that the league really looked up to them, and the mid-season was full of tough battles.
The Hawks had a holiday on the 17th to let the players rest well. The next away back-to-back games...Bulls and Magic are simply cruel!
It is said that there is a happy beast in Orlando, who is excitedly waiting for the Hawks to beat the Bulls and exhaust them.
Liu Mang has to plan carefully how to deal with it.
As for Arenas' words, Liu Mang has read the news, but he didn't take it to heart at all. He is no longer the same person before the three consecutive championships, but a person with more thoughts. He thinks that if he responds to Arenas' provocation again, wouldn't it help Arenas to get attention?
However, Arenas' scoring explosiveness is really good. On the night of the 17th, after a day, Arenas and Reed competed against each other in the game against the Bucks, both of them scored 40+. Arenas scored 43 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the Wizards win and continue to maintain the momentum of impacting the playoffs.
After scoring 43 points, Arenas raised his personal average score to 30.9 points, and once again took the first place in the scoring list with a slight lead.
Liu Mang was also helpless about the little girl who came to pretend to accidentally say that Arenas had surpassed his average points after watching the extra broadcast of the Wizards and Bucks nationwide. Who knows how the Bulls will play the day after tomorrow? With Garnett as a superstar, that team looks very troublesome.
But you still have to shoot when you need to shoot...

"Wow... cool! Is this a group photo of Ace and his team when they won the championship? This is the first championship, with Boozer, he is very good, we met in Germany in the summer of 2005, he grew up in Germany... This is the second championship, this is Tracy, these are the five All-Stars of the third championship...
Is this the super long three-pointer in the game where Ace scored 90 points?
Is this the best pass picture of the season when Tracy won the assists king?
This is...
..."
A 2.1-meter-tall white man was exclaiming repeatedly at the entrance passage of the Phillips Arena, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, with a feeling of not having seen the world...
Coach Kruger was very satisfied with Gortat's performance. Liu Mang suggested that the advertisements in the entrance passage be replaced with large photos of the team's glorious moments, which not only let the fans feel the culture of the team, but every time a new player joins, Coach Kruger will take the new player here to take a look and inspire them.
It was very effective. Players like Granger, Gortat, Marion, and Battier were all very excited to see these scenes. Of course, there were also some who didn't react, like Rondo...
Liu Mang stared at the Polish big man who had completed the team's physical examination and physical test. The team had submitted the signing materials for a four-year rookie contract worth 3.36 million US dollars to the league. This guy is already a member of the team and can play in tomorrow's game.
Yesterday, when the Hawks had a rest day, Gortat had already arrived in Atlanta, rested for a night, had a physical examination this morning, and went directly to Chicago with his teammates at noon.
In order to see Gortat first, Liu Mang did not wait until 10 o'clock to gather at the airport, but came to the stadium early to watch Gortat's physical examination and physical test.
"Marcin Gortat, ability rating 77, offense 80, defense 72, rebounds 86, three-pointers 49, mid-range shots 82, layups 87, speed 79, strength 93..."
Physical fitness... average, good confrontation, OK movement, not slow among centers, but not fast either, mid-range shots and rebounds are strong points, layups are average, inside players' layup ability is less than 85... Liu Mang probably failed, Gortat barely passed the passing line.
Gortat will definitely need some time to adapt when he first arrives in the NBA. After all, he will be a player averaging a double-double in his future peak period, and Liu Mang remembers that he was originally supposed to be signed by the Magic on a two-year rookie contract, although the data during the rookie contract was not good. Good, he averaged 4+4 per game in the second year, but he still got a 5-year full mid-level contract extension. The 4+4 data was mainly due to his limited playing time. After the Suns' playing time increased, Gortat He immediately became a high-quality center who could average a double-double in more than 20 minutes of playing time.
And he is worthy of being a 23-year-old rookie. He has an ability evaluation of 77 when he enters the NBA. Liu Mang is very satisfied. Although it is not as good as Rasheed Wallace, who was traded away before, with an ability evaluation of 79, Gortat He turned 23 only a month ago and is on an upward trend. In short, Kwame Brown finally has a reliable substitute.
But that's not important anymore. Liu Mang has a very serious question to ask this guy.
Liu Mang was sizing up Gortat, and Gortat felt uncomfortable being stared at by Liu Mang.
After the physical examination, he came to the lounge and saw Liu Mang. After saying hello, the two of them stopped talking. Liu Mang kept staring at him like that, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Maxin, is it okay if I call you this?" Liu Mang asked.
After all, Liu Mang was a senior in his sixth year of career, one and a half years older than Gortat. Besides...he was the boss of the team and someone with a "bad reputation". Gortat nodded immediately.
"I want to ask you a question. I wonder if you can answer me?" Liu Mang hesitated for a moment and made up his mind, but still asked tentatively first.
Gortat didn't know what Liu Mang wanted to ask. He was cautious and a little scared, but he still said: "Of course, I will answer whatever I know."
When Liu Mang heard this, he took a deep breath with a serious expression.
Gortat couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. What was it that was so difficult to ask? He looked at Liu Mang nervously.
Finally, Liu Mang spoke and asked, "Can you Poles really be able to subdue a wild boar with your bare hands?"
"Watt? Subdue the wild boar??"
…
…
When he first arrived, Gortat found that except when he entered the arena, he felt the greatness of the fourth most powerful team in NBA history after Lakers and Bulls, and the glory of this team in the new century... There were no particularly "positive" sensory experiences after that.
Too strange!
Gortat feels that these teammates are so strange!
The best sixth man in the league, Jason Terry, who can be the core player of a weak team and the star of a weak team, is an extremely arrogant guy. He doesn't even bother to say hello to him. , but when he got off the plane, he put a hat on his head. He was afraid that his big bald head would freeze. He forgot to bring a hat when he came from Germany.
Tracy McGrady, one of the only two people in the league who can lead the league in scoring and assists, Gortat asked McGrady on the plane how he did it. In his opinion, McGrady did it first. When things like that happened, Liu Mang followed suit.
And McGrady's answer to him was... just pass the ball more, that's very simple...
Gortat felt that McGrady was not trying to deal with him. He felt that McGrady said that sentence from the heart... That was very simple...
Gortat was reluctant to contact the unsightly-looking super power forward Shawn Marion at first. In his opinion, people with this appearance tend to be withdrawn and difficult to get along with. Who knew what Marion was like on the plane? The one we chatted with the most...
Shane, who looks friendly, is actually a stern person in private, sitting alone in a corner listening to music.
Rondo and Granger sat together. Granger greeted him warmly, but Rondo ignored him.
The key point is that these two people seem to have a good relationship. Gortat doesn't know how on earth these two people can become friends!
There was also Fizer with a bad look on his face, Madsen who was obviously a player but sitting with the trainer Karl Malone, Kwame Brown who looked miserable...
Etc., etc.
The most important thing is that the boss who asked him strange questions actually sat by the window and drew white clouds...
Yes... Hold a drawing board and use a pencil to draw white clouds... Gortat doesn't understand. How can a pencil draw white clouds?
Gortat wondered, when did he get involved with wild boars?
When Gortat saw these weird teammates, he really wanted to call his agent. Did he send him to the wrong place?
It’s so different from the NBA team you imagined!
…
…
The team has added a tiger player, which is a very happy thing for Liu Mang.
In the afternoon in Chicago, Liu Mang and the coaching staff discussed the tactical issues against the Bulls, mainly conventional tactics. This is the first time the Eagles have played against the Bulls this season, and they will have to play against the Bulls in February and April. We played against the Bulls twice, and the first time was mainly testing.
In the evening, Liu Mang video chatted with San Niu and the two boys in the room for a while, but he had nothing to do. He had already studied everything that should be studied before, and he couldn't think of a solution for a while. He had to experience the game against the Bulls in person. Only then can he have more directions to think about. Liu Mang opened the forum and took a look at the relevant news.
Maybe the star movement was too intense last summer. In the middle of this season, the trades were all small-time trades of role players. There was almost no trade of stars. Although there were many rumors, mainly about the Nets and the Supersonics, there was no real valuable information. It was all speculation.
The hottest topic was the All-Star Weekend, which was voted out in the second phase, and the competition between Liu Mang and Arenas for the scoring title.
Liu Mang couldn't help but open a small account...
"The greatest player in history in my mind will definitely win the scoring title..."
Liu Mang opened a post in the largest forum, boasted about himself, satisfied the special excitement, turned off the computer, and had to get up early to train tomorrow. He had already made an appointment with the team and the United Center of the Bulls, and he had to go to train early tomorrow morning.
It is better to sharpen your spear before the battle, even if it is not bright, it will shine...
...
...
The next morning, at around 8 o'clock, Liu Mang had just arrived at the United Center for training. He had already agreed to use the stadium yesterday. As soon as he arrived at the United Center, he was surrounded by the media!
"What are you doing so early in the morning? Did something big happen to the Bulls?" When Liu Mang got off the taxi, his mind was full of question marks.
However, to Liu Mang's surprise, it seemed that they were not waiting for the Bulls players, but him...
As soon as Liu Mang got off the car, someone found him and a group of reporters surrounded him.
"Ace, do you really use anonymous accounts to speak online? And there are more than a dozen anonymous accounts?"
"Ace, what is the purpose of your anonymous accounts on the Internet?"
"Excuse me..."
"Excuse me..."
Liu Mang was confused by the question. As soon as he got off the car, even the taxi was surrounded. A series of "Excuse me", Liu Mang didn't react to what happened!
…
Under the protection of the security personnel of the United Center, Liu Mang successfully entered the United Center. At this time, Liu Mang's cell phone rang. When he picked it up, Liu Mang heard a roar before he greeted him: "Ace, what are you doing again!"
Liu Mang looked at it and found that it was Coach Kruger who called. He heard the roar on the phone, but Liu Mang didn't hear clearly what he said. It seemed that the big-headed coach was so angry that he was about to explode. In the end, he only heard the sound of the wired phone hanging up with a "pop"...
"I haven't done anything bad recently!" Liu Mang's head was full of question marks from the time he arrived at the United Center until now. The reporters were so enthusiastic just now that Liu Mang was so scared that he didn't even hear the security guards clearly.
After a while, Schwartz called. After Liu Mang picked up the phone, he heard a very resentful voice...
But he also knew what happened...
The matter of using a small account was exposed!
There is one more chapter. I was not feeling well today. I lay down all day. I got up at night and started writing. I will write another chapter. Anyway, I have a flight tomorrow morning and can sleep on the plane. Please give me a monthly ticket!
