Chapter 612: 611. Last Stand

A TV program by Liu Mang caused a sensation in the entire basketball world.

It's almost equivalent to the postgame press conference after Pat Riley led the Lakers to the championship in 1987. Pat Riley told reporters: "You don't have to ask so many questions this year, and you will do it again next year. "

All teams want to win the championship, but no one is as "conceited" like Pat Riley and Liu Mang this time, even the Bulls who won three consecutive championships twice and the Lakers who just won three consecutive championships less than two years ago , Before they won their first championship, they didn't dare to say that the championship was theirs. After winning the first championship, they only said that the goal was to defend the title, and they didn't dare to be like Pat Riley and Liu Mang this time. Directly boasted to book the championship.

If it is not completed, it will become the biggest laughing stock.

When Pat Riley said those words, the championship MVP Magic Johnson sitting next to him was in a bad mood. They fought hard for a year and were preparing to play easily in the second year.

This is also the thinking of most of the defending champions. After winning the championship, why are you still playing so tired? I already have a sense of satisfaction in my heart.

They are already the defending champions, and the magicians are terrified. The Eagles are not yet the champions. Liu Mang actually made a bold statement about booking this year's championship. In Price's suite, the Eagles players have a feeling for the future Longing, besides the emotion of wanting to leave something in this world, is also bad for the whole person.

Coach Kruger has a black line on his face, he knows that nothing good will happen!

Of course, he obviously felt that the spirits of the players were different, and no one complained about Liu Mang's nonsense. The team's cohesion and fighting spirit have been further improved, and they will play the next game with greater momentum. The team's goal is also to implement to win the championship.

but! This definitely offended all the strong teams!

In particular, Liu Mang challenged the Spurs directly, making it a last stand for the Eagles to play against the Spurs!

After winning the defending champion, Liu Mang's rhetoric has a very perfect start, and the team will have greater confidence to attack the championship.

If he lost to the Spurs, Liu Mang's rhetoric would have been a laughingstock from the very beginning.

Coach Kruger, Price, Mike Woodson and the others looked at each other and smiled wryly.

I really can't blame Liu Mang!

Although from a rational point of view, it is definitely inappropriate for Liu Mang to say these words without any discussion. You can have such thoughts, but don't let the whole world know!

However, they are all basketball players. Although they are not athletes, their desire for a championship is no worse than that of Liu Reck.

Without too many words, the players and the coaching staff didn't say much after watching the show, and said hello, they went back to their rooms to think on their own, and didn't intend to go to Liu Mang, they all wanted to go back and think about it. What is the purpose of my life? There is no doubt that for an NBA player, the best time of their life is spent on basketball, but they almost never think about what this means. Liu Mang touched that point and wanted to think about it.

...

...

The Eagles fell into a state of silence after Liu Mang's show was broadcast, and refused all interviews, which made those reporters who were excited about the big news anxious, but the Eagles arrived at the next day's training Still didn't accept the interview, the players didn't seem to know what happened yesterday, which made Liu Mang feel weird, how could it be different from the feeling of the excited crowd wanting to beat him? He was ready to run last night.

At the same time, I didn't show too much excitement. During the one-day training time, everyone completed the training very well, and then prepared for tomorrow's game against the Spurs on the 13th. Everything seemed like nothing happened.

Even Coach Kruger didn't have anything to say about it, which made Liu Mang feel very strange. If Coach Kruger hadn't announced that he was forbidden to go out for these two days, prepared for the battle with all his heart, and gave the order to win, Liu Mang Thought it was a dream.

However, the other teams did not calm down. On the night of the 12th, when Liu Mang saw the evening paper, he knew what he had done this time. As expected at the beginning, he angered the strong teams!

But everyone reacts differently.

Fatty in Los Angeles said in an interview that Liu Mang is not qualified to say this.

The basket lover said in an interview that he thought this matter was very interesting. He was looking forward to being able to play against the Eagles at the end of the season and shut Liu Mang up.

The most direct competitor of the Eagles and the home team of the past two years, the Nets, directly mocked Liu Mang, letting the Eagles pass their test first.

Other teams like the Kings, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Pistons and Pacers are okay, and the evaluation is not bad, but they don't mean to be optimistic about Liu Mang and the Eagles.

In short, Liu Mang offended and enraged the strong team.

The one who was most annoyed was probably the Spurs who were used as a stepping stone in Liu Mang's words.

They saw the news before the game started last night, and they almost lost their anger. The game last night was very violent, and the poor sister-in-law was almost killed by Duncan.

Duncan has no expression, but it doesn't mean he has no temper!

It's just that Popovich chose the same approach as the Eagles, and rejected all interview requests today, telling the Spurs players to shut up, prepare well, and wait for the game against the Eagles.

It's the same idea as Coach Kruger, and the Spurs are under a lot of pressure. If they lose, it will give the Eagles a perfect start to realize their rhetoric.

What the Spurs bear is not only their own dignity, but also the pressure of other teams!

There are only two directions of public opinion among the media. One is the pro-Eagle media headed by ESPN. They have reported this incident with positive views, starting with praising Liu Mang's courage and the rather touching words about Liu Mang.

The media headed by T.N.T seized Liu Mang's last arrogant words to attack the Eagles, thinking that the Eagles have no self-knowledge.

Especially Barkley, who was about to jump up, ESPN's Mike Breen and Liu Mang caught him alone, and he was so angry that he ate several hamburgers to vent his anger.

In Orlando, it was difficult to end the 19-game losing streak not long ago. McGrady, who had just won two games, called Liu Reck in the evening and encouraged him, making Liu Reck feel the world Still warm.

Keep it short and sharp, and it will resume normal updates after the Dragon Boat Festival! Busy work, many personal affairs and troubles, all piled up together.
