Chapter 789 788. Don't Talk About Dreams with Me, Talk About Money (Seventh Update, 35,000 Words Have Been Updated Today)

Depressed and lost.

That's how Kobe is feeling right now.

But seeing someone who loves training as much as him, even more like a training madman than him, except for supplementing nutrition and water, and the digestion time after supplementing nutrition, the rest of the time is training, this sense of identity, Kobe can't stop it A feeling arises.

But, this guy who worked harder than him in training was the guy Kobe hated the most.

And, how does this guy know that it's four o'clock in the morning, not four o'clock in the afternoon?

Kobe can't figure it out!

Not everyone trains like Kobe and Liu Mang. They train every day for more than ten days. They train from morning to night. Others have to rest. I train every day, but some people like to train in the morning, like James and Iguodala, early in the morning, they pull Liu Mang’s leftover tires that were left in the warehouse of Kobe’s seaside villa in the early morning. Run without fear of getting sunburned.

McGrady prefers to train in the evening until midnight, and likes to tease his children during the day.

Liu Mang and Kobe are the two who have been in the arena all the time.

Kobe didn't really want to teach Liu Mang to back up in a high position, but he was not afraid of what would happen if Liu Mang learned it, but simply because he was unhappy with Liu Mang.

So Kobe just said "see you at four o'clock", which is a phrase he often uses to dismiss those who want to train with him. It didn't arrive until four o'clock, so don't blame him. The next time those people want to ask him for training, he can directly refuse because the other party didn't keep the promise.

However, at four o'clock in the morning on September 13, when Kobe drove to the arena rented by James, a car was already parked, and it was the bastard's car.

Then Kobe saw the lights on in the arena, that is to say, he arrived a few minutes earlier than him, or even a minute or two!

According to legend, he met the man at 3:59 in the morning in Atlanta, and he really lived up to his reputation. Kobe felt that he was being targeted!

Entering the locker room of the arena, I saw that bastard.

No way, you have to do what you say. Kobe should revisit the basic exercises of training high backs, and he should polish his basic skills. When teaching Liu Wei, he just made Liu Wei optimistic about how he learned high backs in the first place. Just explain briefly, and then practice on your own, Liu Mang doesn't care if he learns well or not.

Liu Mang studied very seriously, but he never thought that it would be so...boring!

The control of the pivot foot in the high position is more troublesome than in the low position!

Training is more troublesome and boring. Just a few turning positions and practice repeatedly. According to Kobe, it is to practice every movement so that when the body encounters various situations, the head only needs to think about what the next movement needs to do , the body can respond instinctively and make corresponding actions.

This is much more boring than practicing shooting!

The joyful feeling of shooting and scoring can make people ignore the depression of not being able to make consecutive shots before.

However, practicing movements is purely boring.

On the first day, Liu Mang's training was to learn from Kobe, the choice of the direction of the cut and the various action choices of whether to receive the ball or dribble to a high position to stop the ball. Turning around, the various fake moves when the left foot is the pivot foot, the shot selection after stopping the ball and the fake moves... Kobe taught each movement several times, can you remember it, and are you willing to practice hard? , Kobe didn't care at all.

On the second day, the movement of the right foot is taught, which is basically the same as that of the left foot, except that the ball handler is mainly the right hand, which is basically equivalent to the movement of the left foot in the mirror.

On the third day, Liu Mang was taught how to shoot in various situations, such as flanking, being stuck to death, being forced to stop the ball and so on.

On the night of September 15th, Kobe found that he had nothing to teach Liu Mang about the high position and back body, and there was still a slight sadness in his heart... This bastard learned too fast and worked so hard!

It's been three days!

Kobe didn’t seem to see that Liu Mang had a rest, and he even staggered eating with him. After he finished eating and started training, Liu Mang went there to eat, and he ate those nutritious meals with low salt and fresh water while watching his training. , The digesting time is spent watching him train, so I want to remember a little more.

This made Kobe really admire Liu Mang, and really memorized those basic moves in just three days! And it's done in style!

Seeing Liu Mang who started training again after drinking the electrolyte water, Kobe couldn't help sighing, this bastard is really working hard!

However, after Liu Mang finished his high-ranking back-to-back learning, no one would learn from him, and Kobe found himself a little bit lost...

...

After three days, I finally learned the high position back-to-back!

The reason why Liu Mang can learn so quickly is that Liu Mang spent 50,000 superstar points, and the feeling of using Kobe’s star card before, so that he can remember it very quickly, and he can learn every movement several times, and he can consciously In the case of manipulating, using movements to deal with people with little defensive awareness can also be effective, but against master defenders, the chances of the opponent predicting in advance are almost 100%.

Some fake moves seem to be very deliberate, not to the point where Kobe is doing whatever he wants.

Liu Mang's current high post can also be used to deal with teams that don't have good perimeter defenders, which are usually weak teams.

However, why use a high post to deal with weak teams? Isn't the simplest pick-and-roll offense enough? A one-on-one one-on-one breakthrough is also possible, there is no need to bother with a high back.

This technique is used to deal with teams with top defensive players, so Liu Mang is not satisfied with just learning it, he has to master this technique like Kobe, Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway!

For Kobe and Jordan, Liu Mang thinks that they can easily score with high post backs in their 30s...Kobe doesn't count, Kobe can forcibly hit nine with any move.

And the last time I played against the Knicks in the playoffs, I saw that Anfernee Hardaway was already injured like that. Relying on high-post skills, he can still play so smartly. If he is a normal 32-year-old, no With penny injured like that, with penny's skills, Liu Mang thinks he can still play well at the age of 33.

Relatively speaking, the back-up technique does not require such a high level of physical fitness, and it can be used well even if the age declines... Of course, it still needs to be available, but it does not require as much physical fitness as the style of flying and escaping.

However, Liu Mang was very puzzled, why did Kobe teach only shooting options, but no passing options? When double-teaming, I also taught how to trick two people into defensive shooting?

At five o'clock in the afternoon on the 16th, the day's training was over.

After training in the morning, James didn't know that he took Iguodala out for a walk. Liu Mang felt that this guy wanted to kidnap his bodyguard, so he will use this guy as a target for training in the next few days!

...

On the other hand, James, who took Iguodala to experience "high society" life, was originally just because Iguodala was the sixth pick, and it is always right to have a good relationship, so this time, Iguodala lived in James At home, the two are about the same age, and James is 11 months younger than Iguodala, so they get along very well.

And I want to get closer to Liu Mang, so I bring the little brother Iguodala brought by Liu Mang to play together. Iguodala's physical fitness and comprehensive skills don't seem to be easy to lose, and he will enter this game in the future. This kind of life circle, so I took Iguodala to play with him out of good intentions, and then I was hated...

...

The three-day guidance time was over, he took a shower, changed into casual clothes and left, when he arrived at the parking lot, Kobe suddenly put on an air of a master.

Kobe said to Liu Mang in the standard way of old-school players: "You have already learned all the high backs. I have nothing to teach you. Next, you only need to keep practicing when you have time until your body remembers that. This feeling, of course, it’s up to you whether you can remember it or not.”

What Kobe said was the same as what Liu Mang understood. Liu Mang thought for a while and said, "This is the legendary practice of practicing what you remember until you can't remember it? Then you can use it naturally?"

"..." Kobe glared at Liu Mang, walked quickly into his car, and left quickly.

"This guy, what's going on?" Liu Mang didn't know what happened to Kobe and got angry again.

At this moment, Liu Mang found out that besides his own car, there was another car in the parking space, and the person who got off was McGrady.

"Ace, why are you angry with Kobe? It's rare for him to be willing to teach others skills." McGrady smiled helplessly. Liu Mang and Kobe really met each other once.

"I don't know, this guy's head is different from ordinary people... By the way, Tracy, didn't Kobe teach you any skills? I remember that when he entered the NBA, he learned all skills by himself, but he was not proficient. " Liu Mang asked.

"Teach me? No need, just read it and practice a few times." McGrady answered casually after closing the car door.

"..." Liu Mang looked at the guy with glasses pretending to be an intellectual, talking to this guy would kill him!

Resisting the urge to vomit blood as if being punched in the chest, Liu Mang said, "Let's practice together with you, LeBron and Andre tomorrow."

"Oh, okay, isn't Kobe together? Let him call a teammate to come to our three-on-three training!" McGrady still missed Kobe, thinking that Liu Mang wanted to exclude Kobe.

"I asked him to train together, but he didn't agree. He got nervous and said he wanted to practice left-handed shooting." Liu Mang was also very helpless. He also wanted three players from his team who could play together to train together.

"Oh, I see. He probably stimulated him because your left hand is also very powerful. He will not allow anyone with better skills than him..."

the other side……

Kobe, who drove away, was so sad and angry. This guy is a fast learner, so he won't speak, even his language and writing skills are better than him!

"Practice what you remember until you can't remember it", this sentence is completely condensed to the extreme of what Kobe said just now, and it summarizes the content of his few words in one sentence.

It's amazing to go to college! Kobe swears that he will read more books when he has time!

...

In the next few days, the training became very routine. Iguodala and James no longer thought about the end of the training as they did a few days ago. In the last few days, Liu Mang, McGrady, James, Iguodala Pull, started a random two-on-two team training.

Generally speaking, if Liu Mang and McGrady form a team, James and Iguodala are basically finished. Liu Mang and McGrady have a high chance of defending against James and Iguodala, but Iguodala and James basically Can't help it at all.

So in the back, it was mainly James and Iguodala who punched and selected teammates.

Cooperating with the training intervals, when the others were resting, Liu Mang practiced high back movements, repeated and boring training, training again and again...

NBA players, especially the top players, if they don't play in groups, there are very few opportunities to meet each other in a year.

On September 20th, the last day of training, the three epic blacksmiths will be separated.

The main reason is that Liu Mang and McGrady are together and separated from Kobe.

I didn't drink, and I'm going back to the team soon. These people are not the kind of people who don't care about each other.

Eight o'clock in the morning on the 21st

Liu Mang, McGrady and Iguodala took their families to the airport in the car that Kobe rented.

James returned to Cleveland alone. He hoped that his child would have the best hospital delivery, and that his girlfriend would have the best postpartum care...Although Americans hold their babies in their bags after giving birth. The child is gone, but the environment and medical level here are better, so he is planning to have the child born in Los Angeles. He has taken the time to buy the house these days. Of course, he will live in the rented villa first, and live a whole life after the decoration is completed. I will live in it again in a year and a half.

Liu Mang was very surprised that Kobe actually rented an extended car and sent them to the airport...

Seeing Liu Mang, McGrady, and Iguodala leave, Kobe felt a little lonely, and asked the driver to send him to the Toyota Center, the training facility of the Lakers, and continued to train by himself...

...

...

Back to Atlanta again!

After arriving in Atlanta, McGrady was responsible for sending Iguodala and his girlfriend, and Liu Mang drove the three girls home by himself.

Liu Mang still prefers the slow-paced life here. Compared with Los Angeles, no matter where he goes, it feels much "slower".

However, when he returned to Atlanta this time, Liu Mang obviously found many differences.

The VIP passages at the airport are actually hung with Chinese notices saying "Welcome to Atlanta"!

"Wow! Uncle, it's Chinese!" Little Lolita said excitedly, pointing at the notice.

What does this mean?

It means that because of Liu Mang, Atlanta has started to attract more Chinese tourists, and it means that Liu Mang's popularity has turned Atlanta into a popular tourist city for Chinese people!

Since Liu Mang won the championship and led his team to the fourth place in the Olympic Games, Liu Mang didn't have much intuitive understanding except that when he returned to China for publicity, he found that the fan atmosphere was more popular... Those who scolded him on the Internet and those who quarreled for him There are a little more fans, but he is the focus of the topic, which is not too obvious.

But this time, I actually felt it at the airport in Atlanta!

More domestic fans came to Atlanta for tourism, and Atlanta's tourism industry has been further developed.

"It's so cool!" Xiao Luoli dragged Liu Mang to the side of the notice and asked Levia to take pictures of them.

Liu Mang is also very excited that he can make a change in a foreign city... Anyway, those who travel abroad need to spend money, come to Atlanta, buy a few peripheral products of the Rogue League that he endorses, and he also has a commission, isn't it... …

When I drove the three girls home from the airport, I saw that the billboard that used to belong to Liu Mang had changed a bit, with a Chinese slogan added to it!

And there are still many places where workers are modifying road signs on the main roads and adding Chinese signs.

Because of Liu Mang, this city is changing!

...

At around 11 o'clock, Liu Mang returned home with three girls. He had just ordered lunch delivery when the team called.

It was Price calling.

As soon as the call was connected, Price on the other end of the phone couldn't wait to say: "Ace, I heard that you have returned to Atlanta. There is one thing that you will be very happy to hear."

"Oh? Boss, can I raise my salary?" Liu Wei's eyes lit up. What could be happier than a salary increase?

"..." Price on the other end of the phone was obviously choked, and he said after a while: "Ace, we can't be so vulgar! What we are pursuing is a dream, a championship, and a dynasty!"

"No, no, boss, don't talk about dreams with me. It's too expensive. I win more championships just to make more money. Boss, don't you want to make money?" Liu Mang laughed.

"Haha, sure enough, the two of us are very suitable. I am like you. I love basketball and championships, but I also want to make money..." Price whispered heartily, and suddenly stopped: "oh, Ace, why did you go so far, I have something important to tell you!"

"What's the big deal?" Liu Mang didn't expect something really big.

"Listen, don't be surprised, Ace, you have become the first Asian athlete to have your own anniversary in Atlanta! The City Council has notified us that starting from June 15th next year, Atlanta's annual June 15th No, it's the first anniversary of Liumang! You can see it when you watch the news at night!" Price seemed to be proud.

"Damn...ah, it's nothing, it's just a word of surprise," Liu Mang was so startled that he spat out obscenities, but he really didn't expect it!

It's just... Liu Mang's focus is not on this, but on: "Why is it the first anniversary?"

"Uh..." Price didn't expect Liu Mang to ask this question. Fortunately, he also asked this question when he was discussing this matter with the city council before, and replied: "Because this is Ace, you get the first one." The day of the championship, I think we will definitely have a second and third anniversary in the future..."

"Not one, not two, not three...hahahaha..." Liu Mang suddenly thought of a trick and couldn't help laughing.

Price on the other end of the phone heard Liu Mang's laughter, and thought it was right, he should be happy about this kind of thing! This is the history of the Atlanta Hawks. The first player to have his own anniversary. Wilkins has never done it. Like Jordan and Olajuwon, they only have their own anniversary after retiring.

After chatting for a while, Liu Mang knew that the Eagles had submitted this proposal to the City Council after winning the championship, but the Atlanta City Council did not pass it until after he and the Eagles completed their contract extension.

Liu Mang never thought that he would have his own anniversary, this feeling is too incredible.

When Liu Mang told this to the three girls in the family, they were all overjoyed. For them, Liu Mang's honor was the same as his own. Little Lolita went to call her classmates everywhere... …

Liu Mang didn't quite understand the American enthusiasm for sports. Liu Mang became a double MVP, which brought unprecedented attention to Atlanta. What he brought to Atlanta was something he didn't expect.

Unlike Yao Ming, who set up Yao Ming Day in Houston on December 11, 2002, when Yao Ming just entered the NBA, Liu Mang was much later, because Liu Mang climbed up from the bottom step by step, while Yao Ming was the No. 1 pick, and Yao Ming entered the NBA. It is with huge commercial value to Houston.

Of course, Liu Mang has his own exclusive anniversary, which must be due to Liu Mang's driving the development of Atlanta's tourism industry, but the reason is because he won the championship!

Perhaps for Americans, it is very normal for athletes to receive such honors, and it is very common. It is also introduced in the city introduction, when introducing the city's festivals.

It is more that the players themselves and their families are happy, and the local fans are happy and have a greater sense of belonging.

But this matter soon spread to the country!

Liu Mang, who was second only to Liu Mang in domestic popularity because of the Olympics, once again poured a barrel of oil into the fire!
