Chapter 764 763. Can You Bring Back the Championship MVP Trophy?

"Uncle Kentucky Fried Chicken is really amazing!" Liu Mang couldn't help saying when he was doing physical therapy, thinking of Zen Master giving up the game in the fourth quarter decisively.

"Uncle KFC? Ace, don't you endorse McDonald's?" Rasheed Wallace next to him asked curiously.

"..." Liu Mang was speechless, sighed and said, "Rashid, who do you think the KFC logo looks like?"

"KFC's logo... Oh! You mean Zen Master, he is indeed very powerful, but Ace, if you say he is an uncle of KFC, he will definitely hate you, and he is also narrow-minded." Rasheed Wallace Shi still knows Zen Master very well. After all, he was the coach of the opponent who used to play in the Western Conference Finals. That year, Mike Dunleavy was played around by Zen Master. He was too impressed.

Zen master Phil Jackson is also nicknamed Zen master in the United States. This nickname was originally passed from the United States to China. Phil Jackson is very interested in Chinese religion. When he was teaching, he talked about it. nickname.

Some people are very smart on the court, but their judgment on the whole situation is very average. They are talking about Rasheed Wallace. Liu Mang feels that it is really wrong to talk about this kind of thing with him.

Fortunately, someone took over the conversation at this time. Stockton, who was the last one of the Eagles to come for a massage, came over and said, "Zen Master is indeed very good. He has already judged that the players under him can no longer play this game." Yes, so I let them rest for one more quarter. In the second half of the third quarter, I didn’t force Carl and them to play defense, but let them feel the feeling of being abused on the spot, which can stimulate them. We can’t be careless, otherwise their today , that is, we have tomorrow.”

"That's right, we have to prepare well, the key is still in this fifth match!" Liu Mang agreed.

Rasheed Wallace listened to the two tactical commanders chatting, and simply did not interrupt. He is very smart, and smart people often know what they are good at and what they are not good at. This is what he is not good at, so I don’t Express your own words that may affect the judgment of the two.

Liu Mang was discussing Game 5 with Stockton, and the Hawks coaching staff had already gone back to the hotel for a meeting...

...

On the other side, the Lakers locker room, they rejected all interviews today.

1 to 3, has reached the edge of the cliff.

The Lakers couldn't keep calm anymore. Even when they were 0-2, they still had confidence. That's why Zen Master easily mobilized their enthusiasm and gave the Eagles a head-on blow in the third game.

But now the Lakers, the four finals since the 21st century, they feel fear for the first time!

Kobe and O'Neal were arguing back in the locker room.

"Am I fighting for the boss? Of course, I'm fighting for the boss. I can be the real boss. You don't deserve it at all!" Kobe yelled at O'Neal.

"I'm not worthy? Are you worthy? Tell me what I don't deserve to be the boss?" O'Neill asked back.

"Did you say a word for me when that happened to me? This is something done by a person who called himself my boss when I entered the NBA?" Kobe yelled.

The Zen master on the side watched the two quarreling and didn't try to persuade them. He just sat there and heard Kobe's words. He really had a headache. up.

However, the Zen Master would pretend to take responsibility on his own, and his salary would not be reduced anyway, but O’Neill was different. O’Neill said directly: “Have you ever asked me for help? How do we know that you are not with us? What happened to you? You didn't invite us to the wedding ceremony when you got married, you didn't care about my child being born, you never fit in, how do I know what you think? Don't you know what you said yourself? What do you mean I did the same thing, but with more money?"

"Isn't it? I've seen you use money to solve the same problem. Did you tell me how to solve the problem in other ways? I've been playing with you. I have a chance to find someone to tell me How to solve these problems?" Kobe roared.

"I thought you would solve everything by yourself, didn't you? Your own affairs are always solved by yourself. You have never asked for my help. I have tried to help you, but you are always thinking about yourself question!"

As soon as O'Neill said this, both of them fell silent.

Seeing this scene, the Zen master realized that perhaps at this moment, both of them understood what the other was thinking.

Seeing the two people in silence, the Zen master guessed that maybe they were recalling the good times they had.

However, everything is irreparable.

However, this is irrelevant to Zen Master. The most important thing to Zen Master now is the next game. He cannot lose a game. If he loses another game, his Lakers coaching career will definitely be It's over, since he finished the first game, he felt that both O and K were dissatisfied with him to the limit.

Everyone is taking advantage of each other, and Zen master has no guilt. Now O and K have not had a dispute over the game that just ended, which is the best situation for Zen master.

The conflict was not caused by the loss, nor was the conflict caused by Kobe alone, but the conflict was caused by Kobe alone. Both of them understand that they can win the game together, and that can be reconciled. The strongest point.

The whole locker room was very quiet. After a while, seeing that the two of them were speechless, Zen Master said, "The quarrel is over."

Kobe and O'Neill looked at Zen master at the same time, and Zen master clearly saw a kind of "untrustworthy" look in their eyes, which confirmed his thoughts even more.

Regardless of the look in the eyes of the two, Zen master continued: "It doesn't matter whoever of you can't wait to win the championship MVP, now we may not have that kind of opportunity, let you grab the MVP, if you want to let yourself have If you have a chance to grab the MVP, then listen to me."

Zen Master spoke uncharacteristically aggressively, deliberately showing his presence, and let the two people turn their attention to him. Anyway, he doesn't care so much. If he loses, he will lose this handsome position 100%, but if he wins, he guessed Probably not much better, even if the two people in front of him reconcile, they probably won't be able to accommodate him, so for him now, he doesn't care what Kobe and O'Neal think of him. For him, he is the champion. The key to the next big contract.

As Zen master expected, although Kobe and O'Neal didn't trust him anymore, they didn't have any doubts about his coaching ability.

"Go back and take a good rest today, and take a good rest tomorrow morning, see you tomorrow afternoon." Zen master left the locker room first after speaking.

Kobe and O'Neal looked at each other, did not speak, and left one after another...

...

...

"Wow, Carlos, Los Angeles is so lively today! Do you think that is Lord of the Rings?" Liu Mang asked Boozer next to him.

"Well, Lord of the Rings, Ace, look over there, the Jewish boss is here too." Boozer bumped Liu Mang's shoulder and said.

"Oh, that's right, they are here to present us the O'Brien Cup!" Liu Mang laughed.

"I think so, let's go first, so as not to be troubled by them." Although Boozer looked rough, his head was not confused, and he was worried that Liu Mang would show off and cause trouble again.

Liu Mang was dragged by Boozer to leave the area of ​​The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Today is June 14, the rest day between the fourth and fifth games of the finals.

The Eagles held a team meeting at ten o'clock in the morning. The main thing was to emphasize that they should not be careless after a big victory.

However, Liu Mang and Stockton have already reminded their teammates, and there is no need to remind them, one more win is the championship, no one will relax, and all have high fighting spirit.

After the team meeting, Liu Mang was banned from additional training. The coaching staff didn't want to cause any accidents because of the training. There was nothing to practice in one day. The two teams had already fully understood all the tactics of the other side. The games have proved one point very well, that is, when both teams are performing normally, their strengths are evenly matched. The key to winning or losing lies in the mentality of the players.

For the Eagles, the most important thing is to maintain their own style of play. Don't deny yourself the preparations made at the beginning when unexpected situations occur like in the third game, that's enough.

Because the Eagles are "underdogs", from the very beginning they didn't have so much intrigue, just like the OK team before winning the first championship, they are all working together for the championship.

So, Liu Mang came out to hang out with Boozer, Barnes was not together, Liu Mang lost a right protector, and it felt a little weird.

Barnes went to boxing practice because of Liu Mang's words, "Be careful the guys from Milan get angry and want to fight."

Liu Mang and Boozer were walking around, and just when they were walking by the fountain outside the gate of the Peninsula Hotel, they saw those people from the alliance coming here.

On the way, Liu Mang and Boozer also saw a lot of luxury cars driving on the road in Beverly Hills, and it was easy to understand that Los Angeles is bustling today.

In the previous two games, although many foreign tourists came to Los Angeles to watch the games, the hotels in Beverly Hills were still very expensive, and not many people came to live here, but now it’s the match point, and the Beverly Hills hotels are still very expensive. The hotel is also overcrowded.

Several villas at the Beverly Hills Hilton Four Seasons Plaza Hotel, where the Eagles descended from the tower, have been occupied by the famous Eagles. For the next most important thing for the new team, which is the draft, drafting from each team, etc., the Bobcats got the No. 4 pick, which is not a particularly good pick. In the big year of the draft, the draft resources in 2004 were relatively poor. As a small boss and the team's CEO, Jordan had many things to do.

And McGrady, Iverson and others, after watching the Hawks sweep the Nets, have gone out for travel or are busy with business activities.

Liu Mang and Boozer strolled around, and when they saw more and more people, they followed their security to remind them that they should go back to the hotel, and they could only go back together.

...

Countless Liu Mang fans from Atlanta, Georgia, and many cities in the United States came to Los Angeles, and many fans from China and Asia also came to Los Angeles to support Liu Mang and the Eagles.

This makes Los Angeles County, cities around Los Angeles County, and even relatively distant cities such as San Francisco, Oakland, and San Diego enter the tourist season because of this fifth game.

After 20 years, apart from the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, and Spurs, it is finally possible to have a new championship. At this moment, except for Lakers fans, basketball fans all over the world are Eagles fans , want to see the noble team fall.

Because of this situation, the police stations in almost all parts of California are so busy that they call the new governor everywhere, complaining about the lack of police force and the need for military support...

The most problematic place is bars everywhere, where fights between Lakers fans VS non-Lakers fans happen from time to time.

Of all of this, the happiest thing is probably the group of people in the NBA headquarters, especially David Stern. After seeing all the sports news, they are all occupied by the fifth game of the finals. They are doing business from China. According to the news from the office, the atmosphere of the NBA in China has also reached its peak. He seems to have seen the door of the Chinese market further open!

...

"...Today's game is won, I will double the prize money!"

Looking at the passionate owner Price who gave a pre-match speech, the Eagles players didn't listen to a lot of words in the first ten minutes, only the last sentence, double the bonus, was heard .

That is to say, if you win the championship, all Eagles players plus the coaching staff, team doctors, trainers, staff, etc., can get a total of 5 million dollars in bonuses!

Has always been known for being stingy, if it weren't for the fact that Alexander in Houston is too famous for being stingy, he might be the most stingy owner in the NBA, Steven Price. Not counting the share of the live broadcast, although it is a share for all teams, but now he wants the championship even more!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have persisted until now when he was losing money year after year. NBA owners, especially those in small ball markets, almost always rely on love to support the team.

Although distressed about money, Steven Price also hopes to win the championship immediately.

Hearing the cheers from his teammates, Liu Mang was also very excited now. If it wasn't for his cold-blooded characteristic, he would probably be so excited that he would lose his composure now.

I didn't feel it yesterday, and I didn't feel it during the team's final tactical training this morning, but when the game was about to start in two hours, Liu Mang's excitement about winning the championship suddenly came from the bottom of his heart. It spews out everywhere!

However, reason told him that he hadn't won the championship yet!

Except for the fourth game, the Lakers played very well in other games. The fifth game is the key. Just like what Stockton said, if they win this game, they will be the champion. If they lose, they may be found by the Lakers again. Back to self-confidence, in that case, it will be difficult to suppress it!

After the boss's pre-match encouragement, the Eagles players actively engaged in warm-up and seriously made final preparations for the next match point.

...

After the warm-up was over, Liu Mang took his mobile phone and found a corner where no one was around, and returned calls or text messages to many people, McGrady, Jordan, Iverson, Reid... many people called during Liu Mang's training Come.

After replying to these players with good or average relationships in the NBA, Liu Mang looked at the time, and it was probably dawn in China, so he called his mother and father and learned that because they watched the finals, almost every NBA player On the day of the final match, the breakfast room at home was not open. I felt warm and encouraged. My parents didn’t call him before because they were worried about disturbing him. During the war, I finally couldn't bear to call him.

In the end, Liu Mang dialed the phone number of everyone in Atlanta. Neither Levia nor Alexia said much, everything was kept silent, and finally gave the phone to Dinah.

"Uncle, Dinah's room of honor is short of a championship MVP trophy, can you bring it back for Dinah tomorrow?" Little Lori seemed to have thought about this sentence for a long time.

It's so direct! However, Liu Mang liked this sentence very much, and responded: "Of course, the first championship MVP trophy belongs to you, Dinah."
