Chapter 415 413. This Is Our Glory...

After returning to Atlanta from the imperial capital, Liu Mang took a rest at home for a day, and adjusted his mentality of watching the last day of the year approaching and about to collapse.

Since there is no game from December 30th to January 2nd, the Eagles have to rest for four days. The Eagles’ schedule in January is still easy, and there are only two back-to-backs like the previous two. The opponents are not too strong, except Most of the Nets' playoff teams are only on the edge of the playoffs.

So the first two days are off, and the last two days are planning and training for the 15 games in January.

Seeing that December 31 is approaching, Liu Mang has a lot of things to do, but he really wants to sleep on it.

But there was no way, early in the morning on the 31st, Schwartz called him to go to the team.

What should come will come after all. Seeing that 2002 will be over soon, some things can't be done!

However, doing this kind of thing alone is a bit unhappy!

It seems that the teammates like this dance very much. If this group of guys who can't write letters are allowed to be "teachers" together, they will definitely be very happy!

Will!

Liu Mang has two things to do today, the first thing is to renew a contract, and the second thing is...

Liu Mang first sent a few text messages, invited a few good teammates to the arena, and asked them to help with something, and then rode his own bicycle that was about to retire to the arena.

Looking at this bicycle that has been in use for the fourth year, it is indeed almost unbearable.

Liu Mang is still reluctant to part with this bicycle, but it's probably time to buy a car!

If you want to move, if it is a villa, it will definitely be far away from the arena. The area around the arena is a few kilometers, either a school, an apartment area, or a commercial area. There is no such thing as a villa area, within ten kilometers Liu Mang thinks it's okay to ride a bicycle, and it's right to exercise. If it's too far, he still has to drive.

Arriving at the Phillips Arena, Liu Mang came to the general manager's office. Schwartz was already chatting with Steven Price and coach Kruger. The lawyers brought by Schwartz and the team's lawyers were ready to It's time to get off work, and the details of the contract renewal have probably been finalized. When Liu Mang comes to sign, the cameraman is already in place. According to the usual practice, when signing the contract, you have to take a picture and post the news.

"Haha, Ace, you're finally here. I've been waiting to send the contract directly to your house." Steven Price hurried up to greet him.

"..." Looking at the boss who was getting more and more enthusiastic, Liu Mang couldn't get used to it. He stretched out his hand and shook it, saying, "I'm sorry, sorry, I overslept, and it's rare to rest for two days."

After exchanging pleasantries, it was done, and next to the big desk again, Steven Price handed over the contract to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang looked at it, and there were two main things.

1. The home team's priority renewal clause is extended to the 2003-2004 season.

2. The full middle class contract will be renewed for one year, tentatively set at $3.952 million. The specific amount will be determined after the salary cap for next season is announced. The total amount will not exceed 9.8% of the salary cap for next season.

A bunch of other miscellaneous things like jersey sharing, portrait rights sharing, etc. are common practice. Most of the jerseys of ordinary players cannot be sold, and there is no share. Liu Mang’s jerseys are not sold well. T-shirts, on the contrary, jerseys can't be sold.

Portrait rights are not worth much these days, and there are not many NBA games, and unlike in the future, the share of jerseys and portrait rights will be shared equally by all players in the league. For many players, these two clauses are temporarily useless.

Liu Mang looked at it and signed his name. Of course, the Chinese name he signed, Ace was just a nickname, and Liu Mang was still on the passport. The passport of the Celestial Dynasty cannot add the English name.

Seeing Liu Mang's thousand words, Steven Price's heart sank, and finally the contract was renewed!

As for the 1-year contract, it's not a problem!

If Liu Mang signed a middle-class contract for two or three years, Steven Price would feel even more panicked. Obviously, the middle-class class does not meet Liu Reg's worth, but Liu Mang's rookie contract is the highest and he can only sign a middle-class contract. Now Extend the contract renewal terms of the parent team, and after the end of the one-year middle class, you can have the bird rights!

After signing, under the instructions of the cameraman, everyone smiled and faced the camera, showing the signed contract. Liu Mang and Steven Price shook hands, and the signing ceremony was over!

"Ace, I hope our future cooperation will be more pleasant." Steven Price was very happy to finally resolve the most important contract extension of this season.

Jason Terry decided to negotiate a contract extension after the end of this season. Now the data is too ugly, the price is difficult to negotiate, the team is difficult to lower the price, and the player agent is difficult to talk about price increases.

However, Jason Terry will have bird rights and the parent team's priority renewal clause at that time, so it doesn't matter. Jason Terry's worth in the free market is not over 10 million, and the Eagles are under little pressure to renew his contract.

After exchanging pleasantries, Steven Price started to get down to work, and asked Liu Mang, "Ace, the season has passed for two months, do you have any suggestions for adjusting the lineup?"

This is the right only for the core of the team or to focus on training players. Steven Price has asked Raheem and Jason Terry before, and neither of them has the kind of brain that is particularly easy to use. , not stupid, but it’s definitely not enough to say how much business ability there is, so they all said that they have no suggestions. They think it’s pretty good now.

Liu Mang has an idea, but it will definitely not be realized this season. The Eagles' current half-dead record is estimated to last for a long time. The idea of ​​needing a record cannot be realized, and some do not need a record. It can't be realized either.

"Let's see it in the summer. It's pretty good now. We have good depth in every position and we are heading for the playoffs. If we make adjustments, it may affect our current state." Liu Mang chose not to publish his own idea.

Steven Price is a bit disappointed. Now he can be said to blindly trust Liu Mang's vision. Liu Mang's vision of players is too accurate!

But thinking about the draft again in the summer, it’s the year of the draft that only happens once in 1978. At that time, his team should have a pick in the middle of the first round. Steven Price thinks it’s not bad. Let Liu Mang watch the trial training.

...

...

The renewal is over, and a big deal in 2002 is done.

But there is a bigger thing, a big thing!

"Punishment for failing to buckle the little giant: Go to the Six Nations Park Plaza in Atlanta to find at least ten Chinese aunts over the age of 40 to teach them to dance square dance. Please complete it on December 31, 2002. For each missing one, 10,000 superstar points will be deducted. When the superstar value is insufficient, the superstar value obtained in the future will be double deducted."

Seeing that even after completing the daily tasks of the Pacers game, plus the previous superstar value of just over 8,700, Liu Mang could only call his teammates together with tears in his eyes.

Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, Prince, Boozer, Newbell, Ratliff, these are Liu Mang's best relationship in the team, and Barnes has the best relationship with Liu Mang Also very respectful, Emmanuel and Liu Mang also have a good relationship, but they are still playing in the Development League in Orlando, and they will come back when they play against the Cavaliers.

"Ace, you said you have something important to find us, what exactly is it?" Jason Terry asked with concern.

Others also looked at Liu Mang curiously, the tone of the text message Liu Mang sent to them seemed to be a big deal.

Liu Mang has adjusted his state and is about to start showing off his acting skills!

"Ahem, everyone, listen to me," Liu Mang said with an air of a heavenly general descending from the sky, "Before, I danced with Tyshawn during the game against the Pacers, and now it's become popular , you should know too!"

A few people think about it, it seems to be! It was on the TV news, and it was widely circulated on the forums.

"Ace, do you want us to dance together before the game? Of course it's no problem!" Jason Terry said that buddies also want to be popular!

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Liu Mang had an expression of why you are so unambitious, "We all have our own characteristics, Jason, you already have exclusive moves, you have to keep it, that is your personal label! Sharif, The same goes for you Nazr, Tashawn, if you are starting in the future, you will go to discuss with the DJ what song to play before the game, and you can figure out what dance to dance at home, this is our own personal label, Even if we retire in the future, people will not forget us easily! Carlos, Ira, don't worry, when you have a chance to start, I will think of one for you."

Liu Mang looked at Boozer and Newbell who were eager to try, and felt that he was going to have a headache to find some moves for them.

Prince nodded heavily. He feels that he often has no sense of existence. Although he is low-key and plain, he also wants someone to remember him. Recently, he has also started to be in the news. I danced with Liu Mang.

Although the others didn't know what was wrong, but Liu Mang said that, they really felt as if what Liu Mang said was right!

"Then Ace, what are we going to do?" Jason Terry was still puzzled.

"We have a great mission!" Liu Mang said and waved his fist again.

"We have opened up a new kind of dance, NBA court dance! Many people want to learn, but they can't learn the essence, because no one teaches them, which makes me feel very sad! Although this is me and Tyshawn Invented, but we are a team and people love our dancing, just love our whole team!"

"So, we are all fine while we are on vacation. I don't want you to waste your energy on women's bellies. We should do something more meaningful."

"Seeing a lot of fans on the Internet who want to learn our dance, I hope you will join me in going to Six Nations Park to teach everyone how to dance, and spread our NBA court dance to the Atlanta fans who love us!"

Liu Mang babbled nonsense, but his teammates were excited when they heard it!

"Ace, we support you!" Jason Terry, the most emotional guy, was the first to punch.

Someone took the lead, and everyone else excitedly expressed their honor...

"Ahem, that's good, Tyshawn, you teach everyone the essence of dancing, and then everyone chooses some songs they like. Let's rent a set of equipment and go to Liuguo Park to find some dancers between the ages of 40 and 60. My aunts, tell them to dance our NBA court dance!"

"Okay... wait, Ace, why a woman between the ages of 40 and 60? Can't young women? Can't men?" Jason Terry asked a lot.

"Uh...you can't do it for young women. As for men... How can teaching men be as motivated as teaching women? You like a big bearded man wriggling around you?" Liu Mang continued to talk nonsense.

"Right……"

"The main reason is that we want to spread the NBA court dance we created, so that the aunts aged 40 to 60 have free time to teach their husbands and children, so that it can spread!" Liu Mang felt that he said Well made sense!

"That's right! Ace, you are indeed smarter than me!" Jason Terry believed Liu Mang's words completely.

"By the way, remember that if you can find Chinese, find more Chinese aunts." Liu Wei emphasized the most important thing.

"Why?" Jason Terry was always the problem baby.

Liu Mang is so helpless, but he must find help in this matter, otherwise he will be the only one who will lose face, so how can he do it!

Liu Mang had a flash of inspiration again: "Of course it's because I'm Chinese! I also want my glory to spread to people in our country, and let them know about the NBA street ball dance we created. It's best to spread it to us. Go to the country, I hope you can find one or two Chinese aunts to help me promote it..."
