Chapter 460
"Coach, are you the man who always gives up? Oh, don't say, little Jimmy and coach, you look like..." Liu Mang asked in a low voice, looking at Coach Kruger's age, 44 years old, and looking at the little boy Jimmy, it's... not at all.
"Go away! Don't let little Jimmy hear it!" Coach Kruger kicked Liu Mang in anger.
Liu Mang quickly avoided. Of course, what he just said was a joke, but he didn’t expect that Coach Kruger was away all afternoon, so he actually went to the police, then found Jimmy Butler, and went to the tax office to get a property report, and then went to immigration. The Bureau processed a temporary adoption certificate.
Coach Kruger has a good social status and a good income. He only needs to wait for the police to thoroughly investigate Jimmy Butler's family situation and confirm that his mother has no right to continue to take care of the child. The name applied to the court to forcibly cancel the power of his mother's guardian, and coach Kruger will take care of Jimmy Butler.
As for the funds, it will naturally be borne by Coach Kruger.
As for Mao's adopter at the Immigration Bureau, Liu Mang really doesn't know.
Originally, Jimmy Butler wanted to refuse because he was very strong, but coach Kruger did not ask him to change his surname, nor did he ask him to be called "Dad". He just wanted to take care of him when he grew up. In the end, Jimmy Butler agreed , Back to Atlanta with Coach Kruger.
Coach Kruger had children before, but he died of asthma when he was a child, and he was divorced because of this. He still lives alone and has no intention of remarrying, so he wanted to have a child, and he just met Jimmy Butler.
After Coach Kruger knew that Jimmy Butler was a basketball fan, he took him to the Staples Center and asked for a ticket from the Clippers, allowing Jimmy Butler to play for the first time in his life. watch the ball.
The Clippers don't dare to refuse to allow their opponents to ask for tickets, especially when the Eagles have Liu Mang, a master who runs away when he doesn't agree with each other...
Seeing that coach Kruger brought such a big "son" to visit the locker room, the Eagles players were all very interested in Jimmy Butler, and many of them took out gifts they had at hand to give him.
I don't know who started calling Jimmy Butler Little Jimmy in the noise. This nickname is destined to accompany Little Jimmy in his teenage years.
Jason Terry became addicted to giving away cellphones. He went to a shop near the Staples Center to buy a cellphone. Since the second half of last year, the price of cellphones has been in free fall like jumping off a building. Now you can buy it for $300 It's a very beautiful mobile phone. The development of communication technology and the improvement of craftsmanship have made mobile phones more common and more integrated into daily life.
Liu Mang gave little Jimmy a pair of new sneakers, of course, his Ice Generation, and bought them at the Nike store near the Staples Center.
Raheem took little Jimmy to buy a few sets of clothes, and even Barnes, the poorest member of the team, gave a skateboard.
The Eagles players all gave little Jimmy a gift.
Ratliff has been in a good mood recently. He had just been selected as the All-Star starter, so he directly took out a wad of money, estimated at around US$10,000, and gave it to little Jimmy as a meeting gift.
Little Jimmy accepted all the presents, but Little Jimmy refused Ratliff's money.
"What's the matter, little Jimmy, why do you want all their presents, but you don't want the ones I gave?" Ratliff asked curiously.
"Uncle Theo, this is not a gift, I can't ask for your money." Little Jimmy said seriously.
Ratliff was surprised that a child could have such backbone, so he said, "Oh? What gift do you want, little Jimmy? I'll buy it for you!"
"I want a computer!"
"Why?"
"When I was in Tombal, the elder brother of the neighbor's family learned to use computers and found a good job. The whole family moved to Houston. I also want to be a software engineer!" Little Jimmy also has his own ideal!
"Well, little Jimmy, your ideals are good. It's true that young people nowadays must know how to use computers. I'll buy them for you when I get back to Atlanta..."
Liu Mang looked at little Jimmy and said that his ideal is to become a code farmer?
Happy Birthday! What about the most inspiring super small forward in the future?
...
...
How unique is the Clippers' approach to selecting future cores?
It is so special that it is unbelievable that the method of "rotational rest" is adopted, which is probably the pioneer of the matter of rotational rest.
Odom, the Clippers played 45 games, but he only played 30 times. As a fourth-year player, he is still a talented young player whose strength and talent can be seen with the naked eye. A third of the games were not played.
Maggette missed nine games and Brand missed seven...
It's just so coquettish, it's just so glamorous, it makes people enviable, jealous, and disgusting enough to trample them to death.
Liu Mang sat on the sidelines, watching Jason Terry go up and lead Prince, Barnes, Boozer, and Muhammad to play against the Clippers, whose lineup is theoretically much stronger than theirs. Really feel bad for the Clippers.
Then there is no more. The Clippers this year Quentin Richardson has improved, and Olowokandi has continued to improve. In the contract year, the average is 13+9 per game. Everyone is collecting data and playing by themselves. Personally, he is not an opponent of the Eagles' second team at all.
The Clippers played well last year, because most of them were still in the first three years of their rookie contracts. This year, most of them reached the contract year and finished playing directly.
Not surprisingly, the Eagles beat the Clippers 119 to 105 to get four consecutive victories. At the end of January, they strongly improved their record to 22 wins and 20 losses, tying the record with the 23 wins and 23 losses of the Washington Wizards.
...
The Eagles booked a separate ticket for Liu Mang to go back to Atlanta that night after the Clippers game. It was not just to tease Liu Mang, because everyone knew that Liu Mang was going to move. After the Clippers game, the Eagles only had two days. During the rest time, Liu Mang can go back early so that the move can be completed earlier, without delaying the difficult 13 games in February starting on the 3rd.
Due to the All-Star weekend, the Eagles have to rest for seven days in the middle, so there are 13 games in 21 days, and they can be packed as tightly as possible.
42 regular season games are over, the Eagles' schedule is over half, and the regular season of other teams in the league is already over half.
The regular season is from November to April, basically the completion of January can be regarded as more than half of the schedule.
At the end of the half season, the San Antonio Spurs won the half championship with 35 wins and 10 losses without any suspense.
Duncan is too strong this year, and his scoring has declined compared to last year. He averaged 23 points per game, but this is inseparable from the Spurs' reinforcement. The new high average of 13 rebounds and 4 assists plus 3 blocks per game, the data of 23+13+4+3 per game is blinding, the scoring ranks eighth in the league, and the league's first McGrady averages 32 points per game. It can be shaken. Kobe's scoring average was almost 32 per game, but when O'Neal came back, his scoring dropped a lot. After a few games, he has dropped below 31 points; rebounding is second only to Ben Wallace Averaged 15 rebounds per game and Garnett's averaged 14 rebounds per game, second only to Ratliff's average of 3.6 blocks per game and Ben Wallace's average of 3.3 blocks per game; Here, second only to Garnett's 6 assists per game.
At the same time, the Spurs' record is still the first in the league. After only three months of playing, Duncan has become the best candidate for the regular season MVP in the hearts of the media, experts, and fans.
The teams in the East and West that can make the playoffs can probably be seen.
The Kings, Mavericks, Timberwolves, and Trail Blazers are competing for the other three positions in the top four in the West. Among them, the Kings and Mavericks have a larger lead. The Kings have 33 wins and 13 losses, and the Mavericks have 32 wins and 14 losses.
The Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers are still so stalemate for the fourth place in the Western Conference. Both teams are 29 wins and 16 losses.
The Lakers ranked sixth in the West with 27 wins and 16 losses, and the Jazz ranked seventh in the West with 27 wins and 17 losses.
The Rockets would like to thank the Eagles for overturning the Suns, ranking eighth in the West with 25 wins and 20 losses, and the Suns ranked ninth in the West with 24 wins and 21 losses.
Except for these nine teams, no other team in the West has a winning percentage of 50%. The stronger the team, the better the record, and the weaker teams in the same division will naturally have worse records.
In the east, the playoff competition is much more intense than in the west. If any team breaks out, it is possible to jump from tenth to first.
The No. 1 Pacers in the East have the same record as the Trail Blazers, 29 wins and 16 losses, and the Eagles, the tenth place in the East, have 22 wins and 20 losses.
With such a record, if it weren't for the fact that the Eagles' schedule in February and March is really crazy, the Eagles really want to vote for him.
Up to now, basically the strength of each team has been fully demonstrated. The nine teams in the Western Conference playoffs, and the ten teams in the Eastern Conference. The rest should be for James and this year's team. Syracuse University's first-year talent Carmelo Anthony, who started to run wild in January, has already begun to prepare for his rotten performance.
...
When we returned to Atlanta, it was already early in the morning. Liu Mang hurried back to the apartment. It was pitch black. The little loli who usually waited for Liu Mang to come home had already slept in her own room on the sixth floor. She probably helped to pack things. Also tired.
Americans are also strange. Many rich people move, pack things, and even repair the roof of their villas by themselves instead of hiring others.
When I returned to my suite, I saw the packed things, only the mattresses, sheets, and quilts on the bed were left unpacked.
Sitting on the sofa, I saw that the Schwarzenegger poster had been taken down, and all the familiar things were packaged. Looking at the familiar bedroom door, I saw that the past half a year Time can only sleep on the sofa and the small room occupied by Dinah.
I've lived in this room for almost four years, and finally, it's time to leave.
Even this apartment, Levia, has been handed over to the real estate agency for sale. This apartment is very close to the subway station and tram station. It is very popular, and it will definitely be sold.
I won't be able to come back in the future, maybe I won't even be able to enter this door in the future, Liu Mang is a little sentimental.
but……
Life is always changing!
Liu Mang has not seen the new villa bought by Levia, and he still has a little expectation. The luxurious capitalist life is coming!
Liu Mang came to the balcony and shouted towards the sky: "Goodbye apartment! My dear big villa, here I come!"
"I'm going to die! Where did you come from, that idiot! What are you doing screaming at three o'clock in the morning!"
"Fuck you, I'm working on something, I almost frightened me!"
"..."
"..."
Downstairs was originally pitch-black, but at this moment, the lights of all houses were brightly lit, and the sound of cursing could not be stopped. Liu Mang quickly pretended not to know, and then shouted a few words: "Where did the idiot come from..."
