Chapter 641 640. Liu Mang's Response! (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

35+ triple-double to welcome his comeback?

This is really too grand, so grand that Liu Mang feels very angry!

Fuck him! Fuck him! kill him!

This damned squinting eyes, actually learned to pretend! Is it okay to collect data on a bad team?

Liu Mang was practicing three-pointers at the Phillips Arena when he saw Jason Terry coming.

Liu Mang and Jason Terry looked at each other, everything was kept silent, and they said hello without much communication. After Jason Terry went to change his training clothes, the two started 1-on-1 practice .

The No. 7 Eagles will travel to Orlando for their third match against the Magic this season.

On the morning of the 4th, that is, the second morning after being killed by the Magic, several main players of the Eagles spontaneously came to the Phillips Arena for training.

Originally, the Eagles coaching staff planned to let the players take a day off after playing consecutive back-to-back games, start training tomorrow, go to Orlando the day after tomorrow, and play Magic on the 7th.

Liu Mang came to the Phillips Arena at 8:00 in the morning. After training for a while, most of his teammates came one after another.

After losing to the Magic, the Eagles players were very unhappy. If it was just a two-game losing streak, it would be acceptable, and it’s not like they haven’t lost two games in a row, but McGrady’s words made the Eagles players feel very angry!

They were very annoyed, McGrady was so pretentious while taking advantage of his core being suspended!

The Eagles players spontaneously came to the Phillips Arena for additional training. Seeing familiar teammates also came to the arena for additional training early, they all tacitly changed into training uniforms for training. There was not much to say, everything was said middle.

Even Rasheed Wallace, who has been suspended for 8 games and will not return until the Rockets game at home, has come to train with his teammates. Being a training partner is also a good way to maintain his state. Zell conducts one-on-one offensive and defensive training.

Everyone is preparing for the game against No. 7 and the Magic.

...

The Eagles' loss to the Magic was indeed a big upset. It seems that even if Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace can't fight, the Eagles shouldn't lose to the Magic.

But this actually highlights the importance of Liu Mang to the Eagles!

There is also McGrady's provocation against Liu Mang, which obviously means that he wants to start the scoring championship. This makes the fans who have entered the middle of the season and feel more and more boring in the long season come alive again!

The battle for the scoring champion is always so exciting.

The last battle for the scoring title was already ten years ago. In the first year after Jordan retired, the second-year O'Neal and the league's top super center David Robinson fought for the scoring title until the final battle. , David Robinson scored 71 points before reversing O'Neal to win the scoring title.

It's very interesting that one of the two players in this battle for the scoring title is a player from the Magic team. left.

Coincidentally, McGrady is now in his fourth season, and because he played so badly at the beginning, he lost 19 games in a row at the beginning, and has already applied for a trade.

Therefore, McGrady provoked the scoring championship this time, so that fans in the league have a lot to discuss, of course, as long as it is about the ownership of the scoring championship.

Now in the league, only McGrady and Liu Mang average more than 25 points per game. Among others, Peja has the highest scoring average of 24 points and less than 25 points per game. The regular season has already played almost half of the schedule. The players The data can basically see the trend of the whole season, and the scoring champion is basically determined to be between McGrady and Liu Mang.

The fans originally entered January, and their desire to watch the game was not high, but now all the major forums on the Internet are active again, discussing whether McGrady and Liu Mang will compete for the scoring championship, and which of the two will win Higher and so on.

Obviously, McGrady is playing on a bad team, regardless of the record. The goal of the Magic is also bad. At the same time, the management of the Magic team doesn’t know what to think. Selling McGrady, the only superstar of their team, in this way, the Magic will definitely give McGrady the ball, let McGrady play good numbers, and can sell for a good price.

Therefore, people are more optimistic about McGrady in winning the scoring championship.

On Liu Mang's side, the team's record must be the first goal. They have already shouted out before that they want to surpass the 67 wins of the Lakers in 2000. Now because he was suspended for two games and did not lose two games, the Eagles' The record has become 27 wins and 7 losses, that is, 48 ​​games to win 41 games.

Therefore, whether the battle for the top scorer can happen or not depends on one key point, that is, whether Liu Mang will accept the battle for the top scorer!

...

...

The Eagles ignored the heated discussions from the outside world and refused to accept interviews. They did not want to answer questions related to this matter. After the Eagles players spontaneously trained yesterday, they started team training today.

Liu Mang can play the game, which has a backbone for the Eagles, because the Eagles' tactics are all around Liu Mang. In this era when single-core or dual-core is still popular in the league, even the Lakers have the so-called four-core team. The giants, in fact, still develop their tactics around Kobe and O'Neal. The Spurs have a troika, and they also revolve around Duncan. If the Lakers remove Kobe O'Neal and the Spurs remove Duncan, the two teams may have to compete for the top pick in the lottery. .

This is also the key to the Eagles' loss in the first two games. It's not that other people can't do it. It's just that the team played around Liu Mang, and this year they strictly implemented this style of play.

After the team training in the afternoon, the Eagles players were going to take a shower and go home to have a good rest. Jason Terry, who used to carry his wife to steal food these two days, did not bring Barnes, Rasheed - Wallace's two "thugs" have gone out for a while, and he will have a good rest after training. At least after killing the Magic, he will be in a mood.

After training, Liu Mang was the first to take a shower, hesitating in the locker room and not leaving, thinking about a problem.

Jason Terry came out of the shower and changed his clothes. Seeing Liu Mang's tangled face, he asked, "Ace, why don't you go back? Do you want to practice more?"

Liu Mang shook his head and replied: "No, the training is not bad in the past few hours. We have almost finished training. There is no problem in winning the Magic. I was thinking whether to accept Tracy's challenge."

The Eagles players actually have a good relationship with McGrady, mainly because Liu Mang and McGrady have a good relationship, so when they call McGrady, most Eagles players call them by their first names.

Of course, this does not affect the Eagles' idea of ​​crazy output against the Magic and Tracy McGrady. Retaliation must be ruthless!

"Ace, are you struggling with this?" Jason Terry asked strangely.

"Yeah, I don't know whether to compete for the scoring title this year." The most critical point discussed by the fans, that is, whether the scoring title will happen this time, is also very entangled with Liu Mang now.

This task does not necessarily have to be completed from this season, and it does not have to start challenging McGrady this season. This task will not fail, but it may not be completed.

Liu Mang originally chose to start the scoring championship this season, mainly because the timing of the past two years is too good, and the scoring championships in the past two years are not very abnormal. After the road of the first iron king, it was difficult in 2006 and 2007.

In those two years, the little blacksmith was invincible in scoring. In 2006, Iverson wanted to compete with him for the scoring title. He directly soared his scoring average to 35+. Except for Jordan, no one in modern basketball can compete with him.

This is a monster who can score 81 points in a comeback in modern basketball and still have a few minutes to go.

In 2007, although the average score of Little Blacksmith was only 31 points, that was because he had conquered the entire league in 2006, and no one dared to compete with him for the scoring title.

O'Neal's departure is a foregone conclusion. A while ago he completed a dunk in a game at home and yelled at the sideline boss Jerry Buss for 80 million. When Liu Mang saw the news, he was sure that O'Neal Leaving the team is a matter of time.

So Liu Mang was originally determined. He planned to win two scoring champions this season and the next season before Kobe took off in terms of personal statistics, and to get the fourth talent and skill fragment. By suppressing the players of your own generation, you will have the opportunity to unlock the second talent skill.

If it is not achieved this year, Kobe will have to wait until the 2007-08 season after Kobe begins to perform normally after O'Neal left, and then even think about winning the game in scoring.

So, now Liu Mang is very entangled, whether to fight with McGrady, the condition for starting the mission is to declare war on McGrady, it is not acceptable to score points secretly without declaring war, and McGrady will definitely always care about this matter.

Seeing Liu Mang's tangled look, Jason Terry said angrily: "Ace, you are stupid! Of course you have to accept it! Fuck him to death! That means I can't do it. If I have Ace's scoring ability, I definitely want to compete with him for the scoring championship!"

"So direct?" Liu Mang didn't expect the other party to say that when he heard Jason Terry's words, "In this way, Jason, your data may shrink again."

"..." Jason Terry was even angrier, "Aren't you missing a few shots and not passing to me?"

Speaking of Jason Terry is very sad and indignant!

"Uh..." Thinking about it, Liu Mang seemed to be like, he seems to do this often, and when he gets excited, he just keeps going.

While Liu Mang was talking to Jason Terry, his teammates came out one after another after taking a shower. Hearing the conversation between Liu Mang and Jason Terry, the other three of the team's top five scorers also came out. coming.

"Ace, Jason is right, killing Tracy is too embarrassing for us, don't give him the scoring champion! It doesn't matter if you can't make a shot, I will help you rebound!" Rahim patted Liu Mang's shoulder said.

"I'm here to help Ace win the championship, you can do whatever you want! I can't help you rebound for now, wait for me to come back!" Although Rasheed Wallace was always teased by Liu Mang, but at this time But he supported Liu Mang.

"Ace, I support you." Boozer still didn't say much, but Liu Mang could hear that he was definitely from the heart.

Liu Mang was so moved that he almost burst into tears, with tears in his eyes: "It's great to have teammates like you..."

Seeing Liu Mang's appearance, the four people around felt the coolness of the chrysanthemum, and they took a big step away from Liu Mang.

Seeing Liu Mang's hypocritical expression, the others couldn't stand it anymore!

"Ace, you are disgusting! Remember that after winning the scoring title, please invite us to Las Vegas for a week in the summer! You are responsible for the hotel, girls, and car expenses!" This is Rasheed Wallace .

"Yes, all the girls must be Hollywood actors!" This was Jason Terry who loved dating third-rate female stars.

"That's right, Ace earned so much endorsement fees and made our stats worse, so he has to invite us to play for a few more days." This is Raheem.

"Bosses, I support your ideas!" This is Boozer.

"By the way, Jason, you know a lot of female celebrities, so bring a few more and let Ace pay for it."

"Okay! The date is on me, the wallet is on Ace..."

The four of them were talking, and directly left Liu Mang, whose expression was fixed with emotion, and left the dressing room after changing clothes.

All Liu Mang's emotions were thrown into the Mariana Trench, these guys! It's actually about terms!

Depend on! I was blind to the tears that my young master almost shed just now! These stinking shameless people! Trick my grandpa into tears!

The words are so sweet, each of them pretends to be so great, but they all want to trick the young master into paying the bill!

Looking at these bastards as if he had already agreed, they all started to discuss which of the third-rate stars they like, how to contact them, and how to play in Xia Tian, ​​Liu Mang felt that his beauty was flying...

...

On the night of January 5, 2004.

In the case that Liu Mang has not responded to McGrady's scoring challenge for two days, the fans and media who have been arguing for two days are about to lose interest in this matter.

It seems that Liu Mang may still focus on the team's record. Now the information exchange technology is very developed. As soon as the news of McGrady's challenge came out, the fans believed that Liu Mang knew it immediately. Even if Liu Mang didn't know it at the time, the next The news on TV, the Internet, and newspapers all overwhelmed this matter. It is impossible for Liu Mang not to know about McGrady's challenge.

But there has been no response yet. In the eyes of the fans, there is only one possibility, that is, Liu Mang chose not to accept it to avoid affecting the team's record.

With such an ending, although a small number of fans said that Liu Mang was indifferent and did not dare to accept the challenge, the vast majority of fans agreed with this. Although individual heroism is very popular in the United States, the team spirit is also what fans like. It's just a pity.

But at 7:00 p.m. on the 5th, the ESPN sports channel and the sports section of their official website released a news preview at the same time. At 8:00 p.m., Liu Mang's response to McGrady's challenge will be announced through news interviews.

but!

The fans are used to Liu Mang's troublesome personality, and they find it very interesting! Every time the ratings are extremely high!

Liu Mang immediately contacted ESPN after receiving the "conditional" support from his teammates after training in the afternoon. For such a big event, of course we must do a good job!

ESPN has been waiting for news from Liu Mang for a long time. They believe that Liu Mang will accept McGrady's challenge, and they will definitely not simply agree. Through the previous cooperation, they already know Liu Mang's love for trouble. out of character.

Although the probability of not agreeing is quite high, as one of the largest news media in the United States, ESPN will not let go of any possible big news.

Liu Mang also continued to choose to cooperate with ESPN. It is a mutually beneficial matter, and he can also get the help of one of the best large-scale media in the United States, so he will not suffer.

Moreover, because of Liu Reck's relationship, the agency Liu Reck invested in also has a good relationship with ESPN. The players of Liu Reck's company have also received a lot of exposure because of Liu Reck. For example, Boozer is very popular now. , Wade also got a lot of exposure, and Liu Mang's agency won the favor of many college stars and high school stars.

When Liu Mang and ESPN finished recording the video, even ESPN reporters who came to interview were dumbfounded! Then there was ecstasy, the reporter who appeared in this interview felt that he was going to follow suit!

...

At around 7:50 p.m., the fans and even many stars who did not play tonight were standing in front of the TV. Not only did the fans like to watch the game, but as basketball players, most of them were basketball fans themselves.

How long has it been since there was a battle for the top scorer? Everyone is curious about how Liu Mang will respond.

Since he wanted to respond, it was basically certain that Liu Mang would agree.

But just as ESPN thought, the interview video of Liu Mang made fans and stars very curious about how Liu Mang responded in the end. Liu Mang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Suffering!

At eight o'clock in the evening, ESPN's hourly news, after the news host gave a passionate opening speech, the TV screen switched to Liu Mang's interview video.

Liu Mang's face appeared on the TV screen, his expression was as conceited as ever.

The reporter holding a microphone with the ESPN logo asked Liu Mang: "Ace, have you heard about Tracy McGrady challenging you for the scoring title?"

"Oh, now I know." Liu Mang replied casually.

"Ace, do you choose to accept or refuse?"

Liu Mang made a distressed expression, but everyone could see that there was a joke in that expression.

Liu Mang sighed and said, "Well, I wasn't interested in the scoring title at first, but since Tracy challenged me, I agreed. The scoring title is not important to me, but I am interested in my own. Score is still very confident, Tracy will not be my opponent, never, no one is my opponent, I am not targeting Tracy alone, I mean it may be watched in front of the TV now News scorers, in terms of scoring, everyone here is rubbish!"
