Chapter 1469 1468. Don’t Put This in the Honor Exhibition Room
Los Angeles, in Liu Mang's vacation villa.
There is a trophy on the coffee table in the large living room.
"Uncle, did you steal Uncle Bryant's?" Little Loli asked cautiously. This time she didn't dare to snatch it away directly.
"What do you mean by stealing? This is mine!" Liu Mang said angrily, and then yawned.
I can't say I'm excited to get this MVP. I can't say I'm happy because I can at most challenge another No. 24. At least I'm relieved that I couldn't win the championship. But I really don't have much interest in this right now.
Putting the trophy on the table casually, Liu Mang said to the little Loli: "Don't put this in the honor exhibition room. I'll put it in together when I get the next one."
I won the Finals MVP at 10 o'clock, and now it's almost 1 o'clock, almost 2 o'clock, and the game has just ended. Interviews are mainly because domestic reporters are going to heaven, and they are so excited.
China's best inside player won the championship, and the best outside player won the FMVP. This way, it is easy for reporters to write news. Before, Liu Mang and Yao Ming played in the finals for two teams respectively. Normally, The competition was okay, I can write whatever I want, but the finals are so important, it doesn’t matter if I write poorly about any of them.
Well now, Yao Ming won the team, Liu Mang's team lost but Liu Mang did not lose.
For domestic reporters, this is such good news and what a perfect ending...
"Uncle, don't you want to put it in? Isn't this really stolen?" Little Loli was very suspicious.
"I'm not watching TV! Mine!" Liu Mang felt that his character was doubted.
"Dina didn't watch TV when she came back from the game, because she didn't want to see someone else beat us for the championship..." Little Loli was about to reach out to touch the trophy, and asked again: "Uncle, is it really not stolen? "
"I just said no!!" Liu Mang rubbed the little Loli's face speechlessly, "Let's take a shower and go to bed early."
Levia and Alexia had gone to bed long ago. They didn't really care about their fourth loss in the finals after three consecutive championships. They had already prepared themselves mentally at 0-3.
Little Loli has been waiting for Liu Mang to come back.
"Dina's face is going to be crushed by the uncle!" Little Loli slapped Liu Mang's hand away, rubbed her face and said angrily.
Suddenly, the little Loli thought of something and said excitedly: "Uncle, is this the loser MVP? Does it mean that uncle has won the Finals MVP for four consecutive years?"
Hearing this... Liu Mang remembered that he was a little confused when he was asked the question during the interview and didn't pay attention. It seemed that there was a saying about four consecutive hegemons.
Winning the MVP of the finals was very unexpected for Liu Mang. He had never thought about such a thing. During the interview, he just pretended to be cool and didn't think much at all.
Liu Mang felt a little dizzy as he hitchhiked back to the vacation villa in a daze on the official league ticket instead of going to a hotel or going to a nightclub with his teammates.
Only now do I realize that I have really won the finals for four consecutive years!
Seeing that the little Loli who didn't say anything but was definitely unhappy was thinking about why she didn't put it in the honor exhibition room, Liu Mang didn't explain anything.
Little Loli didn't ask any more questions. She was just confused, but she could probably guess what Liu Mang was thinking.
Liu Mang also returned to the room, and both girls slept in his room.
After experiencing too many emotional changes tonight, Liu Mang was no longer in the mood to do bad things. He went to lie down in the bathtub in the bathroom, adjusted the temperature of the water, and just lay there waiting for the water to be filled.
Opening the system panel, sure enough...a lot of prompts.
"Congratulations to the host for winning the finals MVP. Reward 50,000 superstar points."
"Congratulations to the host for winning the finals MVP for four consecutive years and a reward of 100,000 superstar points."
"Because the host became the loser's MVP, it caused a sensation and gained 200,000 rogue points."
"Because the host won the Finals MVP for four consecutive years and became the only player in NBA history to win more than three Finals MVPs, he improved from a historically low level, which shocked the basketball world and earned 10,000,000 rogue points..."
There aren’t many tips, but there are quite a few rewards!
If you lose in the finals, you won't have a bunch of rewards for winning the championship, but you will win the finals MVP for four consecutive years! Still gave 100,000 superstar points, and more than 10 million rogue points!
"106,621,574 rogue points and 561,975 superstar points."
The rogue value has exceeded 100 million again!
…
…
There was no celebration parade after the finals for the first time in four years. Liu Mang felt a little strange, but he seemed to have underestimated the influence of four consecutive finals MVPs...
The day after the finals, Schwartz came to his door and arranged a bunch of announcements. Starting from the 18th, almost every day, two or three large TV stations wanted exclusive interviews.
This kind of limelight is even greater than that of the Lakers' stars who won the championship. People who don't know what happened and only saw the title "Double MVP this season" thought that the Eagles won the championship.
On the afternoon of the 20th, Liu Mang's last interview in Los Angeles was with Chaotingdai. He will return to Atlanta tomorrow to discuss the draft with the team. There are teams that are in contact with the Hawks every day, wanting to trade. But you have to discuss with Liu Mang to see if there is anything worth choosing. If not, you can start with trading.
So the announcements for the next few days were all scheduled in Atlanta, and it was basically at night, and Liu Mang had to start helping the team during the day.
At first, Liu Mang thought he could relax and change his mood in Los Angeles for a few days, but who knew that he would be the most tired after losing.
Authoritative domestic reporters are relatively polite in their interviews. This has always been China's style. Liu Mang has always been very happy to record interviews with Director Zhang.
After the scripted conversation ended, Director Zhang and Liu Mang prepared to talk about some personal topics that could be recorded.
"Ace, you should take a break. You have been too tired and played too many games in the past few years. You already won three consecutive championships last year. You should relax, enjoy life, and then start again. We look forward to your return to the top of the NBA." Director Zhang said to Liu Mang.
"Enjoying life..." Liu Mang felt the unwillingness in his heart. This feeling that had not appeared for three years appeared again this year. He couldn't help but smile and said: "For me, working hard to make myself stronger It allows me to win more games and win the championship again, which is the best enjoyment."
However, after losing the championship, Liu Mang was deeply impressed by the viral video posted online by Director Zhang cheering "Win the championship..."
"I knew what you would say, haha..." Director Zhang laughed.
"I have to beat Dayao again. How can it be 1 to 1?"
"I think you want to beat Kobe again..."
"How could...you don't want Hu to say..."
…
…
When Liu Mang returned to Atlanta and started discussing the next operations with the team, the free market that was about to open in less than ten days was already crazy.
The Eagles failed to win four consecutive championships... but it made them more favored by veterans who want to compete for the championship!
Under such circumstances, they all reached the finals, and even after falling behind 0-3, the score was 2-4, allowing those who did not join the Hawks and were not favored by the Lakers to choose other championship teams. The veterans of the team regret it endlessly. If they help the Eagles win four consecutive championships, it will be much more meaningful than going to another team to win a championship!
For veteran stars who failed to win the championship in their peak period and could only cling to it while still having a certain level of strength, winning the championship means more than honor.
Of course, the veterans just want a more meaningful championship. Otherwise, wouldn't it be easy to lose face and become a water dispenser manager? In this way, is there anything more meaningful than a team at an extreme disadvantage winning four consecutive championships?
However, in the original time and space, there was a high school student with 35 seconds and 13 seconds who thought and did this. However, at the critical moment when the young core only needed to score one free throw to get through, they missed all free throws and lost the championship. Sometimes fate is such a thing. Hard to say...
Now the veterans are complaining about their big mistakes, and they are also dissatisfied with why the Eagles can play like this despite being so unfavorable, which makes these veterans who made big mistakes feel embarrassed.
If you don't think well of others, they will give you a few slaps...
Not only did it destroy the championship dreams of the veterans who wanted to hold their thighs in the previous three years, but even if they did not win the championship, the Eagles made the veterans who failed to hold their thighs sigh...
But...the more this happens, the more frustrated the veterans become, but the more they have to take the initiative to curry favor with the Eagles.
This time the Eagles are not begging for help, the Eagles now have the initiative!
Rondo, Granger, David Lee, and Gortat are all in their first and second years and have yet to make particularly good contributions. The Hawks have all achieved such results. Next season, young people will improve. Tracy McGrady, Jason Te The rest of the team can relax during the regular season and prepare for the playoffs. Even if Wade comes back with only 60 to 70% strength, it would be very impressive to play as the sixth man to replace Jason Terry, who has performed poorly this season. expect.
The key is that Liu Mang and Kwame Brown will be 25 years old in the summer...
NBA players themselves know best what 25 years old represents.
Coupled with the fact that the Eagles failed to win the championship this season, they will definitely make a comeback next season.
"You ignored us last year, but you can't reach us this year."
Now those free agents who turned down the Eagles last year are feeling the message.
Of course, excluding Claxton, Maurice Evans, Shammond Williams and others who went to the Lakers, they made the right choice.
…
Liu Mang felt very good about the situation in the summer. At least when he first returned to Atlanta to discuss the draft with the management, he felt a completely different feeling from last year!
"Danny with the eighth pick?" Liu Mang asked in surprise.
"Yes, the Pacers sent us a trade request as soon as the season ended on the night of the 17th. We haven't responded yet, but Ace, I think we have to make a decision quickly. Bird may have to wait. No, there are only 6 days left before the draft. In addition to the Pacers, there are several teams that are interested in Danny's two-year contract left." Coach Kruger responded.
Today is June 21st. Liu Mang just returned to Atlanta in the afternoon and went to complete the cover shooting and exclusive interview for Time Magazine. He returned to the arena in the evening and heard about this matter.
Liu Mang was too busy before, and the Eagles management and coaching staff did not want to affect Liu Mang's affairs. After all, it was the Pacers that were worried, not them.
Liu Mang took a look and found that in addition to the Pacers, several teams including the Bobcats, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, and Heat had sent them trade requests for Granger.
Although Granger only averaged 7 points and 3 rebounds per game in this finals, he has begun to show his strength and his big heart and lack of stage fright, which has given many teams some ideas.
Seeing these offers, Liu Mang made his first decision and said: "Reject the Timberwolves' trade application!"
