Chapter 379 377. A New Beginning
It has been a week since the Eastern Conference finals of the Eagles. In the fifth game, Liu Mang shot 8 of 24 shots and scored 19 points to pay tribute to a certain blacksmith. The Eagles lost to the Nets 79-92 unsurprisingly. decision.
After that, Liu Mang spent a depressing week at home like a little landlord under the loving care of three beauties.
After the Eagles were eliminated 4-1, the fans' attention was all on the Western Conference Finals.
The Lakers lost the Tianwangshan battle away, and then the famous sixth game of the 2002 Western Conference Finals happened without accident.
Perhaps it is because the league has too few playoff games this year, and there is no suspense in the finals regardless of whether the Kings or the Lakers will enter the finals. The ratings of the finals can be predicted to be extremely low. The viewership ratings have set a new high. The average ratings of the first five games have surpassed last year's finals, so I want to make a tiebreaker, sell one more live broadcast, and sell one more high-priced tickets...
Thinking about it in a simple way, maybe the purpose of the NBA executives is that simple...
In the Western Conference finals tiebreaker on May 30th, the OK combination plus Xiaoyu scored 85 points. O'Neal dominated the basket with 36 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks. The little blacksmith scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists. In the last quarter, Xiaoyu made 4 three-pointers and scored 14 points. The Lakers turned the score into 116-104 with 1 minute left in the away game, establishing the victory.
Although even Webber scored a three-pointer and Turkoglu scored a three-pointer in the end, they made these two three-pointers in the audience. In the first 47 minutes, the Kings made 0 of 18 three-pointers. , Peja was defended by Kobe Bryant in the half-time 6-for-0 three-pointer, and he didn't dare to throw a three-pointer...
In the end, the Lakers narrowly won the game 116 to 110 to win the tiebreaker.
...
Just in time, the day after the Game 7 between the Lakers and the Kings, the side effects of the Eagles' frenzy just came to an end.
At the end of the Eastern Conference finals, the management and coaching staff of the Eagles were going crazy. After the game, no one would even say a word. In the press conference, Raheem, Jason Terry, Liu Mang Shut up the whole time, and I will not accept any subsequent interviews.
Afterwards, he called the players to attend the team's season summary meeting, and all asked for leave. Steven Price thought the players were dissatisfied with him, so he quickly gave the players the playoff bonus and the double bonus he promised. to the players union account.
Sometimes people just like to think too much, Steven Price began to think: Is it because I haven't strengthened enough to expose so many flaws in the playoffs, and the stars are not happy? Feel cheap? Etc., etc.
Although Liu Mang knew that it was the effect of that special card during the period of depression, the negative emotions of despair, helplessness, loss, self-blame, regret, etc., still lingered in his heart.
And Liu Mang watched three games between the Kings and the Lakers at home.
Finally, when I woke up this morning, the rookie who claimed to be handsome, bright and upright, talented, and capable... No, Liu Mang, who is about to become a second-year student, is back!
In the past few days, I really had no motivation at all, not even the motivation to complain about people. Watching the sixth game between the Kings and the Lakers, I didn’t even think about complaining about the little blacksmith.
But now, Liu Mang woke up early in the morning, really looking for something to do!
The offseason is here!
So much to do!
At the beginning of next month, the representatives of the national team of the Blue Association will come to negotiate the World Championships in the summer. This year's World Championships will be held in Indianapolis, USA. The national team will come to the United States to meet the Nuggets. Go to the plateau for training.
As for why the training camp went to the plateau, and it was still in a foreign country, Liu Mang thought it was probably because the group of high-level executives wanted to change to a new tourist destination?
Participate if you can. Whether it is national feelings or self-development, Liu Mang is very interested in playing in the World Series.
Then the summer time will be compressed a lot. Liu Wei thinks that the national team training should start one month before the World Championships, so many things have to be done before that.
The 2002 Indianapolis World Championships was held between August 30th and September 15th. There were a total of 12 participating teams from 12 countries. They were divided into two groups. There were 5 group matches. The top four of the two groups entered the quarterfinals. .
But Liu Mang obviously forgot that the training time of his national team is always so different...
Liu Mang did the math, now it's May 31, and tonight is the lottery for the NBA draft.
During the two months of June and July, Jordan made an appointment for three days of training time. When Jordan had a good rest and had time, he went to Los Angeles to find him. It's up to them, and I'll call them after a month or so after they have rested.
These three are veterans among the veterans. It is estimated that there are no players older than the three of them in the league. They have just finished a long season. Jordan is still injured and has not played for the last month. Young people like Liu Mang have finished playing. They must still be alive and kicking, those few are probably sore here and there every day.
During the period, there were also my own training tasks, and there were a bunch of invitations from coach Kruger who wanted to meet with the agent.
It feels like one summer is not enough!
It's no wonder that training madmen like Kobe and James make progress every year, not overnight.
But my starting point is lower than them, and every progress will be very obvious, so Liu Mang is not worried about other things, it is good to have progress, and his career is still long, one step at a time.
After roughly planning what he was going to do, Liu Mang felt that everything was actually very good!
After the loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, whether it was Atlanta fans or domestic fans, very few blamed the Eagles players, but more cheered.
It is the first time that the core members of the Eagles won the playoffs. Raheem and Ratliff are 25 and 28. They are already the "oldest" among the core members. Liu Mang is still a few months away. He's only 20, and Terry is still a few months away from turning 25. Muhammad's age is actually two months younger than Terry's, which is considered a youth army.
The youth army has only been in the army for a year, and it has already reached the Eastern Conference finals, and the regular season has already become dominant. Although the playoffs are a bit worse, it is mainly a matter of experience and lineup structure. There is a reliable third insider. Next season, Liu Mang, Raheem, Jason Terry, Muhammad and others will continue to improve, and Ratliff will be at his peak at 289...
Eagles fans are full of expectations for next season.
As for Liu Mang, now that the Eastern Conference finals have passed, of course he has to start looking forward to the next season.
The regular season MVP is a bit difficult... It's quite difficult. Duncan has been super godly in the past two years. winning season.
Most Improved Award... Liu Mang felt that it would be very difficult for him to win this award. It would be easier to win the best team. In the season that just ended, his best team votes were already ranked ninth among guards, and he was far from the third team. not very far.
The regular season goal for next season, Liu Mang has already thought about it, the goal is the best team!
In the playoffs, of course it is still the championship!
Liu Mang took a look at the system, and sure enough, after being eliminated, the attention dropped, and the rogue value only increased to 171,092 points, and the superstar value was still 36,072 points. In summer, there are still various trainings that require physical medicine and injury medicine. Strategic materials, after the playoffs, there are still 39 physical potions left, and there are quite a lot of primary injury potions, there are still 97, and there are still 3 that can be exchanged for an intermediate injury potion, but the primary ones are also very expensive. It is useful, and the primary one is just right for sprains, minor joint injuries and other injuries that are often encountered in training.
Moreover, Liu Mang's two intermediate injury potions have not been used yet, even if he treats Carter's injuries and gets the bouncing fruit, it is not bad.
Liu Mang took out the mission dice, he hadn't used it for a long time, he wanted to have some fun, if it was a training mission, he would go to train and earn some superstar points.
"Is there any mistake!" Liu Mang looked at the task dice and there were only two options of level 4 task and level 5 task!
Liu Mang swallowed his saliva, the dice must be cheating today!
But this task is not drawn and I don't know what it is.
Of course, you don't have to smoke if you are afraid, but Liu Mang is very curious!
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
Liu Mang couldn't help his curiosity and threw the dice on the floor.
The dice rolled many times, then spun on the ground for a few seconds, and finally froze - level 4!
The inexplicable Liu Mang still has a little regret. Level 5 is so great. It’s just a mid-level superstar value draw, but level 4 is also good. After completing it, there are 5,000 superstar points. In the offseason, the junior superstar value draw is more useful. With a lot of physical potions and primary injury potions, Liu Mang is about to start the death training mode.
"Level 4 daily task: Hatred for Jason Kidd, making Jason Kidd feel unhappy and angry."
"What?" Liu Mang looked at this mission, it must be poisonous!
Jason Kidd hated him, so he gave him an extreme temptation of 1 million superstars, which made him almost wipe out his foundation, and only won one game.
Now that the young master is eliminated by Jason Kidd, he is given another such task.
The main thing is that if you give the task, just give it, and give some specifics about what to do! This mindless daily task is really enough.
But Liu Mang was really upset with Kidd, who would like a guy who just eliminated himself?
Liu Mang immediately began to think about how to make Kidd unhappy, Min Si pondered for a long time, Liu Mang clenched his fists with both hands, his right fist hit his left fist, and there it was!
Liu Mang started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find the video recorders he had used before...
...
...
On the corridor outside Liu Mang's suite.
"Leviia, how can I persuade Ace, he can't be so depressed!" Alexia said worriedly.
"I can't help it, Aida, you know I can't speak, it's useless to comfort him, and it's useless to be angry with him." The beautiful landlady is also very helpless. No.
"Uncle promised to take Dinah to the playground but I didn't go, and Dinah acted like a baby..." Dinah was also a little sad. The uncle didn't take her to play anymore. In the past, the uncle would always take her to play when he was free. , although I don't have much free time, it's really rare for me to stay at home for a week without taking her to play.
It’s International Children’s Day soon. Dana’s school is on holiday from May 23rd to June 7th. If Liu Mang wins the Eastern Conference Finals, he will ask Levia to take her to California. Take her to the playground to play.
"You only know the playground. Your uncle knows that you are not worried at all. He only knows the playground. He will cry." Levia couldn't help laughing.
"No!" Dinah strongly denied, and then she didn't know who she learned to talk nonsense with: "Dinah was very worried about uncle, so she wanted to accompany him to the playground to let him relax."
"It's really nonsense." Levia rolled her eyes.
"Dinah, you, you failed to learn from your uncle." Alexia also couldn't help laughing.
The three of them came to the door of Liu Mang's apartment. The door of Liu Mang's house is usually not locked. One is because there is nothing valuable in the house, and the other is because there is a lock on the stairs from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, and only the landlord and two live there. Mother and Liu Mang.
Dinah opened the door very smoothly, and was about to rush in to beg for a hug when she saw and heard something unbelievable.
The picture and sound in front of them terrified the three beauties!
"Ace, calm down, don't get excited! If we lose in the Eastern Conference Finals, we can start over next season!"
"Uncle was stunned by the stimulation!!"
"Dinah, be careful, fools can catch it!"
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass! I will work hard to write and save the manuscript, and when the time comes, it will explode and let you big brothers enjoy it!
