Chapter 613
After the afternoon training on the 12th, Liu Mang practiced until 8:00 pm, then went back to his room to take a shower, and then soaked in the bathtub.
The teammates didn't blame themselves for making the team play harder against strong teams, they didn't blame Liu Mang for stimulating those real opponents, and the coaching staff didn't say anything, which moved Liu Mang very much.
But it doesn't mean that Liu Mang is not afraid and worried, on the contrary, he is the last person to be afraid of.
Just as Coach Kruger thought, Liu Mang also realized that on his side, he felt like he was fighting to the death!
If they win the Spurs, their team's self-confidence will skyrocket, and there is also a buff that will greatly improve the team's morale this season, giving their team a greater chance to compete for the championship.
At the same time, he also set the tone of his team this season, which is to win the championship and have no other choice.
But if you lose, let’s not talk about embarrassment, the morale of the whole team will drop, and all players in the team will be punished for the decline in fighting spirit according to their psychological quality.
Others are fine, with Kwame Brown, Liu Mang thinks the problem is serious...
But the benefits are really irresistible!
"Atlanta's strong heart, task reward 1 feature: cold-blooded; reward 2 team buff: strong mentality."
Not to mention the team buff, even without this buff, if Liu Mang's rhetoric had a perfect start from the beginning, the mentality of the Eagles will definitely become stronger and stronger, but with this buff Gain, the effect is better.
The main thing is that feature!
"Characteristics: Cold-blooded level 1, the closer to the critical moment of the game, the calmer the host's heart is, the winning ball and the equalizer host have a 10% chance of being immune to shooting interference. (The special effect at the full level is to shield the host's psychological pressure at critical moments.) "
When he saw the introduction of this feature, Liu Mang dialed the phone number of the director of ESPN Sports Channel without hesitation. With this feature, it is equivalent to having the determination of a small blacksmith at a critical moment!
Ridicule is all ridicule, the mentality of the little blacksmith at the critical moment is simply too strong!
Whether you can make a shot or not is a matter of feel, but whether you dare to make a shot, whether you make it resolutely or not, is the most important thing!
So in the next match, Liu Mang is determined to win it!
Seeing that there are still 17,502 superstar points, Liu Mang tried the new version of the mid-level superstar point lottery!
"Master System! My brother, I'm going to draw a lottery! The new mid-level superstar is worth a lottery!" Liu Mang wanted to get close to the system.
But unfortunately, the system ignored Liu Mang's flattery, and said coldly: "The host draws a lottery with intermediate superstar points, and consumes 10,000 superstar points. Please specify a category to double the chance, and reduce the chance of the remaining three categories to one-sixth; Or block one category, and the chances of the other three categories increase to 33%."
Liu Mang thought about it, star cards, action packs, special cards and props, he doesn't want action packs and props now! He wants star cards and special cards more now.
But the current special card has deleted those things that helped Liu Mang gain a firm foothold in the NBA during the rookie period.
In this way, Liu Mang seems to have dropped to the same level as special cards, action packs and props.
No matter which one is blocked, there is still an equal chance of drawing the other two.
Liu Mang made a decision: "Boss of the system, my dear brother! The chances of star cards are doubled! My dear brother, give me something good! It's been a long time since I got a good thing!"
"The host selects the star card to double the chance of winning. The chance of winning the star card is 50%. The chance of action packs, special cards, and props is 1/6. The lottery is in progress..."
A blue box that he hadn't seen in half a year appeared in front of Liu Mang's eyes. After spinning for a while, it disappeared with a "bang".
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for breaking out of luck and getting the Manu Ginobili peak star card."
"Manu Ginobili 04-05 version: ability evaluation 89, offense 95, defense 70, three-pointer 83, mid-range shot 85, layup 95, speed 91, strength 77... Characteristics: cold blood, demon knife, skills: Alternative Eurostep... Note: Manu Ginobili is left-handed."
"Ding... There are advanced ways to use the Manu Ginobili star card, and the host can choose to use it."
"Ding... New rules for the use time of star cards. The time limit for era-level super star cards is 5 minutes of the game time, the time limit for superstar star cards is 10 minutes for game time, the time limit for top star cards is a single game, and the time limit for first-class star cards is half time. For competitions, the time limit for star cards below first-class stars is a single game."
When Liu Mang saw Ginobili's pinnacle star card drawn, he stood there for a few seconds, and then laughed wildly: "Hahahahahaha, I am Liu who is immortal! Only 89 ability points? Isn't it right... Well, the hit rate of 43+35+81 in his career... is even better than that guy whose name is steak if his parents don't love him..."
Liu Mang was ecstatic at first, and then felt that the ability value of 89 was too low, but seeing Ginobili's career statistics and thinking that Ginobili played with Duncan, the natural king most of the time, he praised him for his good performance. , There is no need to take the blame for poor performance, the man in the background is responsible, and there are not many honors except for the championship, this ability evaluation is still reasonable.
It's just that Liu Mang didn't expect Ginobili's career peak to be in the third year, and he discovered that Ginobili will turn 27 next summer! He remembered that Ginobili only retired in 2019... How old is this and still playing in the NBA...
In terms of absolute strength, Ginobili is not much stronger than Liu Mang, but his golf intelligence and "weird style of play" are different from ordinary people. On the offensive end, he definitely has the ability of a top star or even a superstar, but his defense It's too bad, not the conventional kind. He can defend off the ball, but he can't defend against the top offensive players in the NBA. The key is the monster knife, which hurts others and himself. He dared to make mistakes that directly ruined the team, which seriously hindered his ability evaluation.
But to be able to select a third-year star with an 89 ability rating and a 95 offensive rating from the last pick in the second round, and expect him to be like a real superstar? Besides, no real superstar is perfect.
Liu Mang sighed that Popovich really dared to use people. Ginobili was 25 when he entered the NBA last year, right? To actually dare to bring in such an older rookie as the first substitute, is simply courageous enough! But it also shows the vision of the Spurs management and the courage that Popovich dares to use.
Sighing, Liu Mang thought of the key thing. This star card can be used in an advanced way, that is, if you meet the conditions of use, you can increase the time limit of this first-class star card from only half a game to a full game!
Liu Mang immediately asked the system how to use Ginobili's star card advanced, but he asked excitedly, but in the end Liu Mang was dumbfounded...
...
...
After a night of silence, the next day, on the morning of the game against the Spurs, Liu Mang called all his teammates into the conference room. The two veteran players, Stockton and Kevin Willis, were not called. A veteran was killed.
By the way, I also called Moron Wiley who was holding a toolbox. Because of what Liu Mang did on the 11th, when the Eagles were preparing for the game yesterday, Price almost called everyone on the team to cheer. Here they are, and he didn't ask for so many tickets. He spent all his money and bought more than a dozen front-row tickets to cheer for his team.
"Ace, why did you call us together? Needless to say! We understand you! Let's fight for our honor together!" Rahim is still the nominal boss of the team, the first one to come out to help Liu Mang support.
Liu Mang was very moved by Raheem's support, but he could only say sorry in his heart, my buddy is going to do something bad again...
Before Liu Mang spoke, Jason Terry also came to support him: "Ace, although I'm very upset that you didn't take me with you when you recorded the show, but you are right, we have to save our lives in this world. What to play, you don’t need to say too much! Today’s game, we will definitely win!”
"..." Liu Mang felt more and more guilty.
"Yes, Ace, we support you!" This is Muhammad.
"Boss, we listen to you!" This is Prince and Kwame Brown.
"..." Liu Mang felt even more hesitant and guilty in his heart!
Hearing the heart-warming words of his teammates, Liu Mang almost swayed his mind, but...you can't just embarrass Xiaoye himself!
"Brothers!" Liu Mang activated the power of the head of state decisively, "Listen to me!"
The teammates all stopped their voices of support and listened to what Liu Mang had to say.
Although the Eagles players did not express anything in the past two days, they had already been inspired by Liu Mang. They were thinking about what they wanted, and they knew that the Eagles might be the best time for them to leave their names in NBA history. A good opportunity, even if it is just a role player, but if they win the championship, their names will be left on the championship banner.
A role player, an ordinary star, even a top star or a superstar, may never have a real chance to win the championship in his entire life.
Therefore, the fighting spirit of the Eagles has now burned to the peak. If they want to defeat the Spurs, burn this fighting spirit and strengthen their self-confidence!
Not ordinary self-confidence, but the kind of self-confidence that is so arrogant that he has no interest in anything other than the championship!
Liu Mang resisted the thought of wanting to be shaken in his heart. As the saying goes, brothers have blessings and share hardships. This blessing may not be shared by all brothers, but it is necessary for everyone to share difficulties.
Liu Mang recalled the wording he had thought up, and said, "Brothers, although we are number one in the league now, from today onwards, we will treat this as a restart of the season! That is to say, we will start from scratch! So, we will make a new one today. A uniform hairstyle, let everyone see our determination!"
Liu Mang spoke his opening words impassionedly.
But Liu Mang ignored one thing, starting from the beginning, the literal translation into English means: go back to the very beginning.
Jason Terry asked suspiciously: "Ace, does the hairstyle have anything to do with starting from scratch?"
Liu Mang didn’t think of this until he heard this question, but when it came time to talk nonsense, inspiration always gushed out: “In our country, the head also means the beginning, in order to prove our determination to start from the beginning, to prove that we want to start from scratch. Determination to do our best for the championship!"
"That's why! That's why Ace called Moron together! The whole team has the same hairstyle, so cool!" Rasheed Wallace said excitedly.
In the past, Rasheed Wallace was in the Blazers. Except for a few people such as Sabonis, he had no friends. On the one hand, his appearance was on the other hand, and on the other hand, his salary cut back then was also on the other hand, which made him not fit in. "Things, such as the uniform hairstyle Liu Mang said.
Some people support it, but others don't have any opinions. Isn't it just a change of hairstyle?
At this time, Stockton and Kevin Willis, who had been waiting at the door just now, pushed the door in.
He heard that Liu Mang had summoned his teammates, but he didn't call them. He came to the meeting room feeling very upset. Hearing Liu Mang's words, he also felt excited, but also very unhappy.
Liu Mang saw the door being pushed open, and saw the two old men come in, and their expressions were not good!
"Ace, you didn't call us because we two old men are too old to be your brothers?" Kevin Willis said dissatisfied.
"Ah...not..." Liu Mang felt so wronged, it was for the face of you two seniors! You can't let the seniors lose face too!
However, Liu Mang couldn't explain it. Seeing Kevin Willis' dissatisfied expression, Stockton, who was silent, also showed dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Thanks to Liu Mang's quick reaction: "Kevin, John, it's not what you think, we boys are messing around, I'm afraid you will laugh at us if we call you..."
Stockton was a little satisfied when he heard this, but he still blamed him and said: "Ace, although we are old, we are a team now, so there is no need to take care of us specially. Since it is a team thing, Then let's come together! Moron, help me do it too, I remember you are pretty good at it."
"I don't think I've ever done this hairstyle, Jason - do you have any more headbands? Lend me one, only the red ones? Okay, I'll try a new hairstyle, it might not look good, but we're a team!" Kevin - said Willis too.
"Ace, are you sure everyone wants to get this hairstyle?" Moron Willy hesitated for a moment, and the two veterans came. If this caused dissatisfaction, his position as the vice president would have to be played off! !
Before Liu Mang could answer, Rahim said, "Molong, it's okay, let us get it!"
"Yes! Let's change our hairstyles together! It's really cool to think about it!" Jason Terry also echoed, and took the lead as a guinea pig: "I'll come first!"
"All right……"
Mauron Wiley wraps Jason Terry with the cloth from his haircut and starts to work on the curly hair on top of Jason Terry's head.
It was only at this time that the others realized that they saw the team's big center Ratliff, and they wanted a uniform hairstyle...I'll go! Everyone knows that the original hairstyle to be unified is this thing!
But they all agreed!
And... most of them are black, this hairstyle... is still acceptable.
And seeing that Liu Mang, who is not suitable for this hairstyle, sits decisively after Jason Terry, the second haircut, and everyone else is also lined up...
I’m still working overtime, so I took the time to write a chapter. I’m going to construct the site for the Dragon Boat Festival event planned by the client company during the day. I basically don’t have time to update it during the day, but I have a four-day holiday from the day after tomorrow until next Wednesday. I will update it more at that time. I will wait for it in the next few days one time!
