Chapter 598

On the night of November 25th, after the game between the Eagles and the Cavaliers, all his teammates took a shower, and some of them didn’t even take a shower. They went out to play in a nightclub in Atlanta. James paid great attention to his image. He was 21 years old. He was determined not to go to nightclubs before the age of 21, but after the age of 21, he was already a prominent figure in the league. The name of the prodigal son will be very famous in nightclubs or similar nightclubs in China and the United States in the future, although this flower has bloomed a bit, and the petals have fallen a bit early.

After the teammates left, James stayed in the locker room for a while, and he will be interviewed later. He is probably the only star of the Cavaliers who can make a difference. Others pay less attention than Liu Mang's former teammate Newbell. come high.

I took out a small notebook hidden at the bottom of the backpack that no one knew about, not even my own mother, and looked through many pages that had been written.

I stayed on the last page I wrote before, and it said that Ricky Davis asked him to carry the bag. It turned out to be a diary after entering the NBA, but it seemed that all the unpleasant things were written down.

James turned to a blank page, crouched in a corner and began to write in his diary silently.

"Time: November 25, 2003.

sunny.

Mood: sunny to cloudy to sunny to cloudy to thunderstorm.

I received a call from my agent this morning, and I became one of the future front faces appointed by the NBA headquarters. I am very excited and happy, but a little worried.

But when I played against the Eagles at night, I felt a lot of warmth...but! It's all fake! Fake! Those people are all demons! Bullying……"

...

In the just-concluded game, James was defended by the Eagles and made 1 of 9 shots. The only sports game goal was an off-ball offensive cut and scored two points. In addition, he made 3 of 7 free throws. James scored 5 points and 3 rebounds 2 assists, 3 fouls and 6 turnovers.

James played half of the game and played a total of 17 minutes. As long as James played, he was targeted by the Eagles. As long as James was on the court, the Eagles locked James regardless of others.

Conversely, Liu Mang played 22 minutes in the half, scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, completely crushing James, the most important thing is the shooting percentage, a large number of counterattacks, Liu Mang shot 8 of 11 With a high hit rate, he pressed Xiao Zhan to the ground and rubbed it.

The strength of the Cavaliers is really bad. Originally, they had Boozer, and together with the big Z, they could at least open up space for James and respond to passes, but now they only have a big Z.

Big Z has never been a real All-Star player. Except when there is really no one in the Eastern Conference center position, it is a bit difficult for him to get close to the edge of the All-Star. In the playoffs, he never led the team to the playoffs at other times. Even if the team had Andre Miller as the assist leader, even when the Cavaliers were poor, he did not perform too well. Generally speaking, it can be seen from the fact that the highest score in his career so far is 29 points. In the case of weak interior in the Eastern Conference, he averaged about 15 points, 7 or 8 rebounds per game.

Big Z's low-post attack is okay, but when he encounters Ratliff, he can only rest, and can only shoot mid-range and long-distance floats. He has a certain accuracy, but at most he can maintain his own performance.

When everyone in the Eagles rubbed against James, the rest of the Cavaliers could score, but James couldn't defend Liu Mang's singles at all, and he could chase after the counterattack, but after being fouled twice by Liu Mang, They don't dare to chase anymore. The strongest point of the Cavaliers is a rookie. This rookie is locked up, and everyone else scores blindly. The Eagles have easily taken the lead on the offensive end.

The difference in strength between the two teams is too great. This is why the league did not make it clear that it created confrontation between the two teams. Now the two teams are not at the same level at all.

James was not replaced in the second half. Coach Paul Silas originally wanted James to try the strength of the Hawks, one of the two strongest teams in the East, so that James could feel the pressure. Unexpectedly, the Hawks That side actually beat James to death. James didn't dare to hold the ball until he hit the back, and the Eagles frantically double-teamed him.

Because James can control his emotions very well, he didn't show too much on the court. Once he returned to the locker room, Paul Silas was going to collapse seeing James, and he didn't dare to replace James in the second half.

The Eagles scored 51 to 30 at halftime, and there was no suspense at all.

Liu Mang clocked in with 23 points in the half and kept scoring about 25 points per game. The Eagles finally won three consecutive victories at home with 102-77 and improved their record to 11 wins and 3 losses.

...

In the interview after the game, this game undoubtedly disappointed many American-first media, but Liu Mang was originally the best young player since 2000, and James’ personal image was maintained very well, and James did not get too much Making things difficult, Liu Mang received a wave of praise.

No one is surprised that the Eagles are targeting James. James may be able to target James in all teams that have done the Cavaliers.

The game between the Eagles and the Cavaliers started very early. It was the earliest game in the schedule of all games today. It was the kind that was not broadcast live as early as in China. It started at 5 pm. After the game was over, the news The press conference was over. Today's game was played easily, and there was no extra time for physical therapy. Before nine o'clock, the players of the two teams went to play separately.

Dinah pestered Liu Mang to go to the park. She said it was a park, but in fact it was the commercial area on the other side of Liuguo Park. You can see the NBA court dance performances that are getting more and more popular and even joined the hip-hop troupe.

Liu Mang couldn't bear it, so he agreed, but thinking of how James lowered his head and didn't speak during the post-match interview just now, Liu Mang felt that he had bullied the rookie Zhan too much!

Don't!

Liu Mang knows that players who can be regarded as superstars of the era in the future, except for Kobe who is about to become a superstar of the era, the next one is James. Although there are some very good players after that, they all have a qualitative gap with James. Liu Mang I don't want a future opponent to be ruined by me like this, the future is so boring.

Just like James’ performance when he wanted to play against Kobe again at the All-Star Weekend before Kobe retired, Liu Mang also wanted to play against the strongest opponent. Now James is still young and guessing about the future It's not a threat for two years, but I'm still very excited to think about playing against James after 2007.

"Let me ask James to go shopping together!" Liu Mang suggested.

"Ace, have you discovered your conscience? You bullied James so badly today."

"That's right, the No. 1 rookie is teased by you like this, will he agree to go shopping with you?"

Levia and Alexia thought that James was so played by the Eagles that he didn't dare to touch the ball, and felt that James was really pitiful when he met Liu Mang.

"Try it, I don't think he will just be beaten to the ground like this, I believe he is strong enough inside!" Liu Mang's performance of standing and talking without back pain caused Levia and Alexia to laugh and scold.

"Uncle, is that very old No. 1 rookie really a high school student?" Dana suddenly said something at this time.

"...Maybe..." Liu Wei didn't expect that children would think that James was old...

Seeing that the three had no objection, Liu Mang called James.

"LeBron, let's go and play together?" Liu Mang was as enthusiastic as ever.

"I won't go, I'm not old enough." James on the other end of the phone arrogantly refused.

"Not old enough? Is there an age limit for shopping and drinking?"

"shop?"

"You just say whether to go or not!"

"I go!"

...

After a bit of arrogance, James still agreed, and silently wrote down the vendetta in a small notebook by himself. James returned to his "mature" appearance, implying that his game is a game, and personal friendship cannot Because the game was ruined, and at the same time, he really wanted to know whether the previous enthusiasm of Liu Mang and others was real or fake.

James packed his bag and came to the employee parking lot of Phillips Arena with his backpack on his back. He saw the "Liu Mang Family" chatting happily with Rasheed Wallace and his wife.

"Hey, LeBron, you are too slow!" Liu Mang shouted at James.

James trotted over: "Sorry, sorry."

"Come on, LeBron, let me introduce you..."

"Dinah introduces! Dinah introduces!"

Just as Liu Mang wanted to introduce Dinah, Levia and others to James, a certain little loli with bad intentions rushed to introduce him.

"Okay, okay, you introduce."

"Hi, Uncle James, my name is Dinah, and this is Papa's daughter, and this is my mother, Levia, and this is my teacher, Aida, and this is Uncle Wallace, and this is Uncle Wallace's wife, Lena. ..." Dinah enthusiastically introduced to James, and every time there was a new friend of Liu Mang, she rushed to introduce him.

Liu Mang knew that this little loli had no good intentions! Helplessly complained: "Dinah, my surname is Liu, and your surname is Savisia!"

"Yes, Dinah is named after her mother!"

"..."

After the introduction, everyone who saw James for the first time shook hands with James.

Seeing James awkwardly greet Dinah, Levia, Alexia and Lena Wallace, Rasheed Wallace's wife, Liu Mang also felt a little awkward, inexplicably awkward.

Just now when Rasheed Wallace came out of his physical therapy, he happened to meet Liu Mang and others after calling James. Levia, Alexia and Lena Wallace immediately chatted. , I heard that I was going to the Six Nations Park, so I took Rasheed Wallace with me.

Liu Mang didn't know why James was embarrassed, but anyway, it was an inexplicable embarrassment.

After getting in the car, James sat in Liu Mang's co-pilot seat and looked out the window, bleeding in his heart: "Uncle...uncle...at least call me brother! I'm so young!"

...

Originally, James thought it was two old men who were having an awkward visit, but Liu Mang brought his family with him! And there are two beauties and a child! James' own mother gave birth to him at the age of fifteen. According to his mother, his father was about the same age. He got pregnant at the age of fourteen. He had no ability and responsibility, so he ran away very irresponsibly. It is not surprising that Liu Mang has a child.

And when the Rasheed-Wallace couple came, James didn't think it was too bad, it was entertainment anyway.

James thought that Liu Mang would take him to some high-end shopping mall to buy luxury goods, so he was ready to swipe his card and rush to pay.

However, Liu Mang and his group took him to a small commodity area in a park!

Bought some snacks, some drinks, and then came to the square of Liuguo Park!

James didn't expect to come to this kind of place!

Both Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace are very popular in Atlanta now, especially in this square in Six Nations Park. Liu Mang is close to having the status of "field bully". The master of square dancing is not kidding.

Fortunately, Americans relatively spend more time seeing big stars, and now it’s not a championship parade to win the championship. People saw Liu Mang cheering, but they didn’t rush forward, but continued to dance. , Singing and singing, of course, just work harder.

James looked at Liu Mang and others who were playing with ordinary people in disbelief. Liu Mang's family was fine, mainly because Rasheed Wallace, Nicholas Rasheed, the dancing emperor, brought his wife directly into the square. Dance Army!

All in all, let James feel the feeling before becoming famous!

Now many of the so-called "friends and brothers" James used to want to come to him to share a piece of the pie and spend some money. Some relatives who have never appeared before want to take advantage. Slowly, James is so willing to contact Old friends from the past, those who took the initiative to curry favor, he gradually chose to stay away. Of course, there are also a small number of old friends who sincerely congratulated him on his success, and did not make excessive demands on him, and did not even become a star after being rich. But to treat them differently, this kind of friend James took the initiative to treat them well, sending cars and gifts or something.

Seeing Rasheed Wallace dancing happily, Liu Mang's family also enjoyed watching. Dinah tricked Liu Mang into dancing too. Liu Mang had already sworn that he would not dance if he was killed. But you can find something else to do.

Liu Mang chatted with the buddy who was playing the drum set next to him, and borrowed his drum set and audio equipment.

"Hey, LeBron, Rashid, Linna, let's play together! Levia, Aida, and Dinah also come together!" Liu Mang called everyone.

People deliberately gave up an open space for these stars.

James went up curiously, what do you want to play?

"Rashid, as the Atlanta version of the King of Dancers, Nicholas Zhao Si... Hey, hey, you are the King of Dancers, you come to lead the dance, and teach Linna and Levia to dance!" Liu Mang assigned the task.

Rasheed Wallace was very happy with the word King of Dance, but he asked in confusion: "Ace, who is Nicholas Zhao Si?"

"Uh...a famous dancing king in China, you don't even know him!" Liu Mang's eyes flickered.

Rasheed Wallace didn't notice that much either. He was compared with the famous Chinese dance king. Although he really didn't know who the Chinese dance king was, his name was still good.

James was curious about his role. Liu Mang stuffed the microphone into his hand: "LeBron, you should be able to rap by looking at you, right? Really? That's really great. Don't worry too much about your appearance. Now, let me play the rhythm for you!"

James turned to the microphone, still a little shy!

Liu Mang tried the drum set, and the ordinary professional level drum set skill was triggered. He felt as if he was so familiar with the set drum set. Then, from time to time to a fierce.

Rasheed Wallace figured out the rhythm, and began to swing freely following the rhythm. Not to mention, Rasheed Wallace danced really well, and the mechanical dance danced well, not only the four who came to play together The girls began to follow suit, and so did the surrounding onlookers.

James was a bit shy, organized his language, and started to rap.

The approximate content of the lyrics is: "I came to Atlanta tonight, the Eagles players are terrible, but I will never be defeated, I am just not strong enough now, and I will come here again in the future to challenge..."

Americans are more straightforward, and James' lyrics that express his heart have attracted bursts of cheers...

The plaza at Six Nations Park in Atlanta reached its climax tonight...  

...

...

At 12 o'clock in the evening, James' agent came to pick him up and returned to the hotel. On the one hand, he didn't want to trouble Liu Mang to send him off at such a late hour; I thought that James was so abused by Liu Mang and others, the main reason was that he couldn’t get through the phone, the Six Nations Park was too noisy, and the ringtone of the mobile phone could not be heard at all, James was so happy dancing and singing, so he decisively joined the square dance army .

After returning to the room, James took a shower, took out the small notebook at the bottom of the bag again, and turned to the last page written a few hours ago.

Looking at the last words he wrote down, such as devil and bad guy, James thought for a while, and instead of crossing out these words, he filled in a sentence at the end.

"But they're really nice people. This is the NBA, isn't it?"
