Chapter 790 789. McGrady Discovers New World
In the past two years, the sina basketball sports website, which has become popular in China by purchasing NBA game videos for free, was the first to get first-hand news. At 11 o’clock in the middle of the night, the sina basketball sports website broke the news that Liu Mang became the second festival to own an American city after Yao Ming Chinese players.
Unlike Yao Ming who relied on immediately bringing a lot of commercial value to Houston, this time Liu Mang achieved this achievement by relying on real honor, and the commemoration was not all for Liu Mang, but because The Hawks won their first NBA championship since moving to Atlanta.
After the news was exposed in China, other sports websites also forwarded the news.
This news... After Schwartz got the news, he took the initiative to expose it to Sina. The main reason is that Sina basketball is now on the domestic basketball portal website, which has the highest traffic, so we should establish a good relationship.
As for the domestic entity newspapers, the leading Xinhua Net, because of the relationship between Liu Mang, Xu Jicheng, and Zhang Weiping, the relationship has always been very good, and the same is true for the imperial court. Establish a friendly relationship with domestic Internet media people. Even if Liu Mang can't use it here, other people in the brokerage company can also use it.
After dawn in China, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, etc. also broke the news about this incident, because the United States has also reported this incident on TV. They also got first-hand information from Schwartz, but they were helpless. They are physical newspaper offices, and their speed cannot keep up with online media.
Liu Mang, who was originally the fourth most popular player in the Olympic Games because of winning the double MVP, can keep pace with Liu Xiang in the domestic sports circle after the news is exposed!
...
"The biggest wave of rogue points increased by 100,000 or so? It's really little, forget it, a little bit." Liu Mang has been paying attention to the increase of rogue points.
Liu Mang's main purpose of disclosing such unimportant news to the media is not to build good relations. He is well aware of domestic media professionals. If it is related to official characters, such as Xinhua News Agency and People's Daily etc., are all based on harmony, no matter what it is for harmony, the same is true for the imperial court.
But the Internet media... It's good to have a good relationship so that they don't be so inexplicably black, but if they don't play well, they should be black or they should be black.
Liu Mang's main purpose, of course, is to be a hooligan!
Now Liu Mang's hooligan value has risen very slowly since he won the championship and the fourth place in the Olympic Games. Whether it is the renewal of the maximum salary or the matter in front of him, it has risen very slowly.
The hooligan value of winning the championship did not get as much as the regular season MVP. The main reason is that the Eagles slowly played the feeling of the strongest team in history. After killing the Lakers 4-1 in the end, the team from last season The Eagles, who are so strong in terms of talent and realized strength, have been compared with the OK combination and Jordan Pippen's combination to see which combination is the strongest lineup.
Of course... the Eagles just need to be a two-man team against each other, but whether it's the Bulls or the Lakers, it's not like there are others. The whole team combined, the supporters of the three teams, have waged wars of abuse time and time again.
The strength of the Eagles last season is recognized. The Bulls in the three-peat period and the Lakers in the three-peat period of the OK combination, regardless of a single year, cannot be said to be stronger than the Eagles last season. The strong thing is that they can win three consecutive championships.
And the Eagles' lineup has already been broken up. Whether the Eagles can win three consecutive championships is a matter of opinion.
But because of this, Liu Mang was honored early, and now everyone thinks it is normal for him to play well.
But... During the Olympics, the hooligan value increased by nearly ten million in half a month, especially when the United States was killed, it skyrocketed by four to five million a day.
There are more than 31.5 million hooligans, and it is much more difficult to reach another 100 million than last season. There are no heavyweight events or heavyweight honors, so it is difficult to make a substantial improvement.
But it’s not too urgent, just accumulate as much as possible. There are still two talents and skill fragments that have not been obtained. One is to get the award of scoring champion in a row, and the other is to suppress the stars of the same generation. The two most difficult suppressing characters are For Wade and James, there is no rush, we have to wait until they grow up.
Of course, if they themselves fail to grow up to the point where they can threaten Liu Mang in the playoffs, the task will be automatically completed, and the deadline is before the end of their rookie contracts.
Liu Mang is very glad that he did not enter the NBA at the same time as Kobe, Iverson, and Duncan. Otherwise, that guy, other things are easier to say, Kobe and Duncan, one is a paranoid, the other is a sullen paranoid...
"Ace, what are you doing, hurry up, the mayor and councilors have arrived." After searching for a long time, Price found Liu Mang reading in the library reading room of the city hall, and hurriedly asked Liu Mang to attend the city hall meeting press conference.
"Oh, here it is, I'm looking at our new city introduction!" Liu Mang shook the new version of the Atlanta city introduction that added his name in his hand.
"Haha, there will be more in the future..."
Today is September 22. The Atlanta City Hall held a press conference. The mayor of Atlanta and several major councilors attended the press conference to award Liu Mang a certificate of honor.
The new city introduction has already been produced after Liu Mang renewed his contract. There is also a Chinese version, which is mainly provided to airports, hotels, scenic spots and other places.
...
...
"Wow, Ace, you're standing in the middle, it's really disgusting..." Jason Terry said enviously.
Looking at the place where the posters were hung in the Phillips Mall not far from the arena, a new poster has now been hung.
The previous posters were removed during the offseason. This time, the five starters plus the sixth man expired, and a new poster was shot. The Eagles players came here to take a look.
The background is red, with a huge eagle on top, the eagle's head is in the middle, its pupils are black, the eagle's head is just a little above Liu Mang's head, and Liu Mang is in the middle.
McGrady and Rasheed Wallace are on the left and right, with Kwame Brown on the far left and Prince and Jason Terry on the right.
However, as a substitute, Jason Terry can be regarded as a special case for the promotional poster of the team's starting lineup. No other team has such a precedent.
If it is a weak team, the starters other than the core may change at any time, and the poster may even only have one or two or three stars.
It's such a realistic thing.
"Jason, are you envious?" Liu Mang asked with a smile.
"I'm not envious!" Jason Terry rolled his eyes, "I'm back to training, I must be more accurate than you for three-pointers, now I have Tracy and Rashid pass the ball to me, I won't be like John I only prefer you alone."
Don't follow the routine! Liu Mang also wanted to tease Jason Terry.
But it's no wonder Jason Terry complained, because he was indeed inaccurate for open three-pointers, and Liu Mang played like that. Last season, he played alone most of the time, and he supported the score off the bench alone. not easy.
As if he felt that his words were wrong, Jason Terry immediately became arrogant again: "Hmph, if it weren't for me, how could we score so many points as a substitute last season!"
"Yes, yes," Liu Mang said with a smile, "Go back to training, this year's bench lineup still depends on you to score."
"Of course, my goal this year is still the best sixth man!" Jason Terry was still so arrogant.
Liu Mang also knew that Jason Terry was the most wronged one, Raheem was still playing the starter, Jason Terry went to the bench, the ball was not concentrated on him during the rotation time as he imagined In his hands, because of Stockton, he still has to stand up and score in singles when the team can't play.
But even so, Jason Terry still played hard and played his own role. Liu Mang can fully understand his complaints.
...
The Eagles' training camp officially began on September 24.
It is very necessary to start the training camp one week earlier, more necessary than the previous two seasons, because most of the team members have changed.
The running-in of McGrady and the five rookies, as well as the running-in of Calderon and Korver, who may have to take more responsibilities, are the key.
On the first day of tactical training, McGrady and the five new rookies were all frightened by the bunch of tactics.
Triangle offensive running, Princeton simplified version, pick-and-roll tactics, point forward offensive tactics, high pass and cut...
"Jason, are we going to use so many tactics?" McGrady asked Jason Terry next to him.
"It's possible, thank you for your hard work, Tracy." Jason Terry smiled sinisterly, learning badly from a certain guy.
"Thank you for your hard work? Jason, do you remember all of this?" McGrady asked suspiciously.
"No, I don't need to worry about these, I'll just come up and score. When the time comes, you cooperate with me, and when I appear in a certain area when I play, you need to follow these tactics and choose tactics that serve me." Jason- Terry said arrogantly.
And, it's also true.
McGrady is not very surprised by this, the role of the sixth man is like this, what surprised him is, choose from so many tactics? And he still has doubts: "Is the same?"
"Of course, when I'm attacking with the ball, Ace has to open up the space for me." Jason Terry was about to become a man, and said proudly: "Well, Tracy, the championship team is not so good. Simple, remember these tactics well, you are the core tactics, otherwise the coach will scold you if you don’t play well, and he doesn’t care if you are a superstar or not!”
"Oh, no, you can read these tactics once, I'm just a little curious..."
McGrady once again used his talent to make his teammates want to vomit blood, but now he has a new understanding of the Eagles...
