Chapter 358 356. Let's Go, Boy!
The playoffs are in full swing, and the Eagles are watching the live TV nervously in Toronto, which has just entered the spring.
After finishing the second series with the Raptors, the Eagles came to Toronto on April 24, and first got used to the colder weather here than Atlanta.
After arriving at the hotel in Toronto in the afternoon, everyone in the Eagles crowded into coach Kruger's room and stared at the TV.
This is the live broadcast of the press conference at NBA Headquarters in New York!
David Stern was speaking slowly on the TV with some opening remarks and cold jokes, regardless of the nervousness of the candidates in front of the TV.
Although it was basically a certainty before, but before the official announcement, the Hawks were still very nervous. To the best coach, the team atmosphere of the Eagles is very good, everyone is united, because they are the counter-raiders team!
Coach Kruger, who was interviewed at the end of the regular season, was very nervous. Maybe it doesn’t matter if an old coach who has been an NBA head coach for many years doesn’t win the best coach, because it doesn’t mean that he has a good record and coaches. The first level is sure to get it. Opportunity is more important. Coaches like Carlisle and Kruger are relatively easy, because the first coaching is too outstanding, just like the previous Larry Bird and Doug- Same as Rivers.
But Coach Kruger is still a rookie in the NBA coaching world. It is a lie to say that he doesn't care about this award that can be noticed in NBA history at any time.
"OK, I think everyone has been waiting for a stick to pry my mouth open, and now I am announcing the winners of several awards in the regular season this season!"
David Stern opened the four boxes in front of him one by one, and opened the envelope with the names of the winners of several awards voted by American notary supervision, media and coaches.
"The best manager in the regular season in 2001-2002 is the Nets. The general manager is Mr. Rod Thorne of the New Jersey Nets!"
"The best coach is Mr. Ron Kruger of the Atlanta Hawks!"
"The best rookie is the talented teenager liumang from China of the Atlanta Hawks! I hope he can work harder to become the best player!"
"The first team of the All-Rookie Team is..."
Liu Mang's best rookie!
Coach Kruger's best trainer!
Coach Kruger's room erupted when the two names were announced! The players are cheering loudly!
Coach Kruger laughed so hard his head glistened.
I don't know who suddenly said the coach's treat, and everyone booed.
"The coach treats you!"
"Coach, the nightclubs in Toronto are great!"
"Coach, let's go play without that rookie!"
"..."
"..."
"Okay, okay, treats, treats, if we beat the Raptors the day after tomorrow, treats! If not, go back to Atlanta for training! By the way, no rookies!" Coach Kruger made a rare joke, and by the way I got a military order!
"Hahaha……"
"Oh... oh... yes, no rookie..."
"..."
...
Liu Mang looked at this group of unscrupulous teammates and an unscrupulous coach, and felt very hurt, and the accent of the cheating president was no one, he was not a good person!
How can I have such a group of teammates when I am a good boy who is pure, kind and innocent.
Sigh... the heavens will send a great responsibility to the people, so I must first let Xiao Ye have a group of teammates like this to hone himself, it is really not easy for Xiao Ye!
Having won the best rookie, Liu Mang felt a bit unreal. At the beginning of the season, his goal was to enter the best rookie team, but he didn't expect to be the first vote of the unanimous vote to lead the first team of the best rookie team. The best rookie!
Theoretically speaking, there are still two days to announce the best sixth man, and Liu Mang also feels that he can securely get it.
The best sixth man, the best rookie, one is the best player in the bench, and the other is the best player in the rookie. Liu Mang has already won two of the three major individual awards in the NBA regular season.
"MVP..."
Liu Mang came to the window and looked at the sky outside the window. Toronto is still a bit chilly now. There are white clouds floating in the blue sky. He looked at the white clouds in the sky, and his bronze MVP trophy appeared in his head. If so, it should be not too different from what I thought!
Sure enough, winning prizes is addictive! No wonder those guys are so obsessed with championships.
The core players who have the opportunity to hit the championship are naturally not short of money, and honor is the biggest pursuit!
Liu Mang's desires are getting bigger and bigger, and he finds more and more shortcomings in himself, so his motivation is getting stronger and stronger!
Jason Terry looked at Liu Mang alone on the side, came over and hooked Liu Mang's shoulder and said, "Ace, are you sad? Oh, don't be sad, we will bring you milk after playing!"
Fuck your wild milk! Depend on! I'm 19 and I'm proud! Liu Mang said disgustedly: "It's not sad, you find a woman to drink your milk, I'm the best rookie now, and I'm not in the same class as you guys who can't get the best rookie, why should I fight with you guys? Play together!"
"It's amazing that the brat won the best rookie! Sharif, Nazr... everyone, let's help the rookie loosen his bones, the rookie's skin is itchy!"
Jason Terry became furious, called his friends and friends, and the abuse of food began!
"Crush..."
Misfortune comes out of the mouth, that's how it came. Amidst Liu Mang's miserable cry, coach Kruger watched the players "ravage" the rookie, and was overjoyed. He felt that his coaching career was bright!
...
...
Liu Mang was excited about the 50,000 superstar points he got after being selected to the first team of the best rookie team and upgraded to the best rookie. He didn't expect that the best rookie would be classified as such an important award by the system.
Liu Mang thought for a while, and it seemed quite normal. The best rookie is not only a good talent, but a good talent can be quickly transformed into strength and shown in the rookie season. And there is only one chance. I can't get it, I can't get it for a lifetime!
For example, for a No. 8 player who has never won the best rookie in his life, the difficulty of getting the best rookie is geometrically more difficult than the MVP.
Looking at the rogue value of 590,000 and the superstar value of just 110,000, Liu Mang is going to upgrade all the skills that he has and can use to level 5. Perhaps no hot pot feast or full-level fancy dunk will make him feel obvious now. Liu Mang's strength has improved, but as long as his physical fitness improves, Liu Mang believes that there will be a substantial improvement!
After Liu Mang won the Rookie of the Year award, he was already imagining the picture of the big center attacking inside and locking up the top scorers outside. The road is a bit long, but he is young! In three to five years, I have only reached the peak of my physiology!
By the way, Liu Mang also imagined that when the ring is soft, in the future, some guys who wear size 3, some wear size 6, and some wear size 35 or 1 will hug their thighs, and they can easily win the championship by themselves. Dai, the scene of rising up and commanding thousands of troops made Liu Mang drool.
Just then the doorbell rang.
Liu Mang opened the door and saw the sneaky Jason Terry and Raheem.
"Sharif, Jason, what are you doing?" Seeing the two sneaking around like thieves, Liu Mang felt that these two brothers must have done something bad!
"Ace, come on, I bought it secretly, don't let the coach see it!" Jason Terry closed the door, stuffed a bag in Liu Mang's hand in a thief, and there was another bag in Raheem's place.
Liu Mang opened it strangely...
Depend on!
this……
You two are breaking the law!
"How about it, brother! Don't say that we won't take you for a drink after we eliminated the Raptors. Who told you that you are only 19, kid, that thing is big and has no chance of being used! This is what we bought in Chinatown. Chinese wine, I’m afraid you won’t be used to our wine.” Jason Terry raised his head with a brotherly expression.
Not to mention, Liu Mang really thinks these two brothers are really loyal this time!
It's actually Moutai! Although this stuff is about 40% cheaper than the official price in China, because the tax rebate is required for wine production, the production tax and consumption tax of domestic high-end wine add up to about 35%. It's not expensive for them to buy a tax refund, but Liu Mang was really touched by the kindness of spending a few hours to buy a catty of wine.
Raheem also brought out the wine, two bottles of whiskey, a strong drink that Americans often drink.
There is also a large bag of common American snacks: potato chips, salty crackers and some nuts such as pistachios.
Liu Mang took out three wine glasses from the cabinet at the door of the room, and took out the ice box that the hotel always had from the refrigerator.
Raheem, who had a relatively calm personality, poured out the wine and put ice cubes in it.
Even if the weather in Toronto is cold, they will still add ice to the whiskey, and Liu Mang's baijiu by the way.
Liu Mang felt that adding ice to baijiu seemed a little wrong, but he didn't know much about it, so he added it as soon as it was added, and it was better to dilute it.
"cheers!"
Three of them... took a sip.
Drinking, talking, drinking to death, Jason Terry and Raheem didn't plan to finish a bottle of whiskey.
I drank a few sips first, ate some snacks, and started chatting.
"Jason, Sharif, why do you have so much free time today? The game will be played the day after tomorrow, shouldn't you try the cool swimming pool in Toronto and the feeling of being happy with beautiful women?" Liu Mang asked.
"Waiting for the coach's treat, things here in Toronto are too expensive." Jason Terry complained, "I just saw you bored as a rookie, so I came to chat with you."
Rahim drank in a hurry, drank more than half of a large glass of wine after drinking a large glass of wine, and it was easy to get overwhelmed when he drank in a hurry. At this time, he said in a daze: "It doesn't matter if it's money or not. I don't care so much, Ace, you know, I seem to have returned to the feeling that I just entered the NBA from college. I don't know when I became particularly motivated. At the beginning of the season, I planned to After finishing this contract and retiring, now I actually want to give it a try and see if I can become the best player."
"That's great! But the best player? That might be me, you have no chance! No chance!" Liu Mang was a little dizzy after just a few sips. When he was able to drink, he drank basically There is beer on the table, Moutai is really unaffordable.
"Haha, Ace, I just like your confidence. It is because of you that I have become more confident. I believe that we can create greatness! Come on, cheers!" Raheem took another big gulp.
"cheers."
Liu Mang and Jason Terry took a big sip.
Jason Terry is also a bit on the top, "By the way, Ace, do you have any goals in the NBA? I have never heard you say why you play in the NBA. I am very simple, I am for money! I used to be poor and afraid, Now I want to earn a lot of money, if I can, I want to play until the age of 40, earn money that will never run out in my life, I don't want to live in that kind of slum."
This is speaking from the heart, and a person suddenly popped up in Liu Mang's mind: Yao Ming's big brother, Boss, after retiring, admitted that he had a dark history of drug trafficking because he was afraid of poverty.
"Me?" Liu Mang replied without thinking, "I want to be the best in NBA history, I want to score 30,000 points, five or six championships and five or six MVPs, and I want to be the best in NBA history." Leave my name in NBA history! Just like Jordan and Russell, a name that will never be forgotten!"
This rookie... drank too much!
Jason Terry and Raheem laughed and teased Liu Mang a few words, but Liu Mang didn't say anything, and returned a few words, and then...the three drank three bottles of wine...
And then... the toilet in the bathroom was full of vomit...
"Ding... The host's nerves are paralyzed, and the liver function is affected. It needs a primary injury medicine for treatment, which can completely eliminate the effects of the injury after 12 hours. Immediate healing requires 500 superstar points."
Nima, this is the pit host! Liu Mang complained, "Is this considered an injury? Well, you are right, the boss of the system. Injuries, injuries, injuries and illnesses, the general term for injuries and illnesses, drinking too much, can also be considered injuries..."
Send the two teammates back to the room, one of them used a primary injury potion to eliminate their hangover after waking up, Liu Mang also went back to the room to take a shower and sleep...
Team friendship, I don't know whether it is well written or not. There are two more chapters, and two more chapters tonight, thank you for your monthly pass! Wordlessly moved, come on! By the way, the serial number of the chapter was wrongly written before, so I found a gray editor to change it back.
