Chapter 228

Liu Mang was racking his brains to discuss with Iverson about playing as a substitute. The original lunch time was delayed by the interview. Coach, go to the welfare home with the first graders, the first graders go to the orphanage, the second graders go to the nursing home, the people in the main game, except Liu Mang, Kobe, and Iverson, all go to the disabled The school raises money for charity.

The two were eating lunch in Iverson's extended Lincoln next to the bus to the Mason Welfare Institute on the Dewara River in Philadelphia, discussing how to kill the second-year team led by Kobe at night.

However, in the matter of Liu Mang's starting and substituting, the two had a huge "difference"...

...

...

Hilton Hotel.

Women are always dawdling. If there is a man around, they can still urge them, although the possibility of urging them is not high.

After a while, two big beauties and a little loli came to the restaurant of the hotel for lunch.

This is also good, the other diners have finished eating early, and there are very few people when they arrive at the restaurant.

The French restaurant is located on the third floor of the Hilton Hotel. After the three of them arrived on the third floor, Levia saw an acquaintance and looked at her group with surprised eyes. Levia was puzzled, and then quickly figured it out. Signal the acquaintance not to say hello.

"Aida, take Dinah to find a place first, and I'll go to the bathroom." Levia said to Alexia.

Alexia didn't doubt that he was there, and took Dinah, who had been screaming and hungry, to find a seat by the window.

On Levia's side, they came to the corner of the corridor, and Ivanka, who had just finished lunch in the staff restaurant, was waiting there.

"Miss Savishia, long time no see." Although Ivanka still had a smile on her face, it was no longer the hotel manager's expression of a waiter, but had the temperament of a wealthy lady.

"It's really you, Miss Trump, I haven't seen you for more than half a year." Levia was also different from her usual lazy look.

"I didn't expect that Ace's landlord is actually you, but Dinah is still so beautiful." Ivanka teased.

"I didn't expect that stupid foreign student to become an NBA All-Star, but he seems to like Dinah very much." Levia mentioned her daughter, and her whole expression became gentle.

Suddenly, the painting style changed.

"Haha, Levia, you really look like a wife now. You didn't look like a wife when your boyfriend was still there, but now you look like one." Ivanka went up and hugged Levia.

"I didn't expect Ivanka, you really didn't inherit your father's career and came out to work hard on your own. It's really beyond my expectation." Levia and Ivanka hugged gently.

A woman's mind is like a needle in the sea, or in other words, they like to say everything without opening up, and like the feeling of making people guess.

"Why, Levia, are you interested in young boys now?" Ivanka pointed.

"Young boy, very good, or are you interested in Ivanka? That's terrible." Levia asked back.

"Who knows?" Ivanka was noncommittal, "Are you here to play the All-Star game with Ace?"

"That's right, Dinah and I are going to watch Ace's rookie game tonight, together?" Levia didn't deny it.

"Oh, what a pity. I'm still counting on my salary to buy cosmetics. Today I am the night manager. If I skip work, I will lose my bonus." Ivanka said helplessly, but there was a little pride in it.

As a young lady, she is proud of earning money by herself without relying on her family.

Of course, Levia could hear the show off, and counterattacked without hesitation: "That's a pity, I heard that Dinah said that there is an aunt who is very beautiful, and I really want to go to the game together."

Aunt!

Ivanka is so angry!

But it's Levia's daughter, so she's definitely an aunt.

"Okay, I won't bother you for lunch. I have to go home and sleep, and I have to stay up late at night. It's hard work to make money!" Ivanka yawned.

"OK, see you next time." Levia said hello and turned to leave.

Looking at the back of Levia leaving, Ivanka smiled.

There are three people in Levia's group. Ivanka didn't mention Alexia who was traveling with her in the chat just now. In her opinion, it is probably just the role of nanny or tutor...

...

...

"Ace, why do you insist on not being the starter?" Iverson was very helpless. If you don't play the starter, isn't this making yourself a villain!

If Iverson is unhappy with Liu Mang, that's fine, even if others say that he is suppressing Liu Mang, he will admit it.

But not only was Iverson not upset with Liu Mang, but he admired his mentality and self-confidence that he wanted to defeat anyone he saw. This is the performance of a strong man.

Maybe the strength is not enough, but he is still young, and anything can happen, but if he doesn't have this mentality, no matter how strong he is in the future, he is just a Raheem before he met Liu Mang.

Liu Mang's head was running fast, there it is!

Liu Mang said: "They will help me win the MVP and give me all the ball rights, so I plan to give them the starting position as a thank you."

Iverson was speechless when he heard this answer.

Although your status in the league can't be said to be first-tier, top, super giant, etc., it is higher than this group of rookies and everyone in the second grade! In addition to Gasol, who else can compete with you for the position of the leader of the younger generation? You say one and they dare to say the other? This reason is very stupid, isn't it?

Iverson was also helpless: "Okay, okay, if you want to play as a substitute, you can play as a substitute. What a weirdo, everyone is eager to start, and you are vying to be a substitute! When the time comes to submit the starting list, you...you pretend to go to the toilet I got lost when I came back, come back when the game starts!"

Iverson doesn't want to take the blame for suppressing rookies! Hearing that Liu Mang and Kobe didn't get along, Iverson didn't know how to appreciate this rookie, and it was too aggrieved to carry this blame, so he thought of a weird way.

"Alright, thank you Alan." Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally convinced the little man.

183 is really troublesome!

"By the way, Ace," Iverson took a sip of milk. Why is it milk and not red wine or beer? Because the officials know that Liu Mang is under 21, so they only prepared milk, and Iverson can only drink this. "Do you have any countermeasures for the game tonight? It won't be so easy to win the MVP."

"What kind of strategy do you need to fight those second graders? They are so weak." Liu Mang responded casually.

"..." Iverson was speechless, too straightforward! No wonder people hate it so much!

Out of admiration for Liu Mang, Iverson still reminded: "Any opponent should not be underestimated. We can despise them in our attitude, but we still have to play hard. They are very serious about winning you."

Is this the meaning of the great man's phrase of contempt for strategy and emphasis on tactics? When Liu Mang heard this, he suddenly remembered that mission.

The group of second graders temporarily became the perfect team!

Liu Mang's understanding of this most perfect team is probably the perfect combination of the OK combination plus Zen Master, plus the key man Fisher, plus stable pitchers like Fox and Horry, and blue-collar insiders like AC Green and Cooper. combination.

Or Popovich plus the troika plus Diaw, Leonard plus some role players.

Sophomore?

Is it possible that Martin has become Duncan or O'Neill? Turkoglu became Dior or Fox...

wrong!

Liu Mang suddenly thought of what kind of stuff most of his teammates were. From this point of view, in this game, Martin was really the same as O'Neal and Duncan!

And it seems that the second-year coach is Kobe?

A paranoid leads a group of young and strong men howling to win him... Liu Mang thinks the task is not that simple!

What if they lost to the second graders?

Depend on!

Let's not talk about the task or the task, and admit that I am worse than the second grade? You just bragged so much, you don't want to lose face!

Thinking of this, Liu Mang also got serious: "Ah Lun, what good tactics do you have?"

"I think, with Paul and Andre, we can play Princeton!" When Iverson received the notice, he had already started thinking, and felt that the Kings' style of play was very suitable for this lineup.

"Princeton? Is that the tactic that is passed around?" Liu Mang knew what Princeton's system was.

Generally speaking, the strong can take advantage of the weak, and the smart can take advantage of the strong. The essence of this style of play is that people move the ball, and people move refers to moving without the ball, cutting and counter-running. Pass the ball, share the ball.

However, this style of play...can't highlight his own stats!

And passing the ball, Liu Mang is really not good at it! The catch-and-shoot is alright, but in the Princeton system, characters like Mike Bibby and Jason Williams are strong passers.

"..." Iverson thought of Liu Mang's style of play, which was indeed a little unreliable. After thinking for a while, he said, "Triangle offense is also good, and Paul's style of play is also very suitable for triangle offense. His offensive end is very similar to Pippen. , the strategy was good."

"Allen, do you know how to play the triangle offense?" Liu Mang asked.

"Eh... what is the triangle offense?" Iverson was also a little confused. He and Larry Brown studied the triangle offense in the finals last year and found that they had no idea what it meant.

This is the same as Artest who joined the Lakers in the 2009-2010 season. He won the championship, but he still doesn't understand what the triangle offense is...

...

The visit to the welfare home in the afternoon was very simple. They helped paint, took pictures, and told inspirational stories. NBA players are basically inspirational models. Most of them grew up in slums when they were young. This kind of American individual heroism is true. The biggest root of American sports is that everyone knows that as long as you become a great sportsman, you can become a big star and a hero, so there will be so many people who will continue to succeed.

This is very different from the domestic ones. In China, if the parents are not sports people, it is basically impossible for children to learn sports from an early age. From the perspective of traditional domestic thinking, this is not doing business properly. This may be due to the lagging development of domestic sports. core issue.

The main thing is money!

The idea of ​​money first is even more serious in China than in many capitalist countries.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, led by Iverson, Liu Mang returned to the Wachovia Center with other first-year teammates to start the legendary triangle offensive tactical training.

Since you don't know what that thing is, just play like the Lakers!

"Ace, you play like Kobe, just play singles with the ball, Brandon, you rebound, Paul, you pick and roll off the ball and play in the low post, Sean, you and Ace guard the opponent's arrow, Jamal , you...are in charge of dribbling the ball halfway!" Iverson quickly assigned the roles of the main players.

Liu Mang, Haywood, Gasol, Battier, and Tinsley are undoubtedly the five most suitable starters in the first grade, and they are also the five strongest core candidates.

Although Liu Mang doesn't start the game, Iverson will replace him as soon as Liu Mang comes back after the game starts, and his status as the main player will not be affected if he does not start.

"Jason, you are ready to replace Jamal at any time, play the role of an assaulter, and be ready to run back and hit the basket at any time." The role Iverson arranged for the future dunk king Richardson is the role played by Tyronn Lue in last year's finals .

"Andre, you are ready to replace Sean at any time. You are responsible for the core tasks of defense. The hardest work is the two of you. Be ready at any time!" Iverson positioned Kirilenko as Battier's backup, The two are responsible for tandem defense.

When Iverson spoke, the others straightened their backs and remembered them seriously.

Unlike Liu Mang, whose leadership ability comes from his excellent performance in the regular season and his legendary hated style of play and mouth, Iverson is a stalwart figure in the eyes of the younger generation of players! The current national idol!

Unruly personality, cool dress, the leader of the first generation of dreadlocks, has a huge influence among NBA players who are almost all from the bottom of society!

People are more popular than people! This group of teammates is really enough! Liu Mang watched eight teammates including three Europeans, Gasol, Parker and Kirilenko respect Iverson so much, and really felt that there is such a big gap between people?

"OK, we all have one goal, to help Ace get the MVP!" Iverson said loudly, "To help Ace get the MVP, we must first win! But our opponent is the evil Kobe Bryant The group of unaware second-year players led by Te, although they are weak, they are not as good as us, but we cannot underestimate them because of this, this is our battle of honor! We must go all out and kill them!"

I wipe!

Liu Mang felt that Iverson looked like Hitler!

Nima, suddenly raised the symbolic meaning of this rookie game to the height of the battle of honor, and stepped on Kobe by the way, completely put himself and others at the highest point of psychology, and portrayed the second grader as an evil big The villain brought by the devil to steal his honor.

Good eloquence!

Why can't you see it normally?

However, is this second-year rhetoric useful? Liu Mang was suspicious...

"Fuck them! Defend our honor!" As an Iverson fan, Tinsley yelled first.

"Defend honor!" others yelled.

Depend on! Liu Mang opened his mouth, he can do anything!
