From today on is the king

Chapter 789 788. Don't talk about dreams with me, talk about money (seventh update, [-] 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 he does, 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 this feeling from appearing.

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. Except for the first day when everyone gathers together for training, at other times, although everyone trains every day, some people like to train in the morning, such as James and Iguodala.

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. Of course, he will indeed arrive at the arena at four o'clock in the morning.

However, at four o'clock in the morning on September 9, 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, or even a minute or two!

According to legend, he met the man at 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.

There is no way, you have to do what you say, Kobe should revisit the basic exercises of training high backs, and he should polish the basic skills himself. When teaching Liu Wei, he just let Liu Wei take a fancy to how he learned high backs in the first place, explain it briefly, and then practice himself.

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 cumbersome 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, as long as the brain thinks of what needs to be done in the next movement, the body can respond instinctively and make corresponding movements.

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 receiving the ball or dribbling to a high stop, the various turns when the left foot is the pivot foot after dribbling, 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.

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 9th, 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 have seen Liu Mang take a break, and even ate food at a different time from him. Liu Mang didn’t go there until he finished eating and started training, and he ate those nutritious meals with low salt and fresh water while watching him train.

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!

Liu Mang was able to learn so quickly, thanks to the fact that Liu Mang spent 100 superstar points, and the feeling of using Kobe’s star card before, so that he remembered it very quickly, and after learning each movement several times, he could use the movement under the conscious control of his head, and it was also effective against people who had no defensive awareness.

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.

The last time I played against the Knicks in the playoffs, I saw that Anfernee Hardaway was already injured like that. With his high-post skills, he could still play so smartly. If Penny, a normal 32-year-old, didn't get injured like that, with Penny's skill, Liu Mang felt that he was 33 years old, and he could still play very well.

Relatively speaking, the back-up technique does not require such a high level of physical fitness, and it can be used well even if you are younger... Of course, you still have to have it, but it doesn’t 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 the "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' house, and the two were about the same age. James was 11 months younger than Iguodala, so they hit it off very well.

And I wanted to get closer to Liu Mang, so I brought 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 kind of life circle in the future.

……

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 Wei in the standard way of old-school players: "You have already learned all the high backs. I have nothing to teach you. Next, you just need to keep practicing until your body remembers that 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 the 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 should read more books when he has time!
……

In the next few days, the training became very routine. Iguodala and James did not think about the end of the training as they did a few days ago. In the last few days, Liu Mang, McGrady, James, and Iguodala 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 good chance of defending against James and Iguodala, but Iguodala and James basically cannot defend 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 9th, 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 be delivered in the best hospital, and that his girlfriend would have the best postpartum care...Although Americans carry their babies in their bags and leave after giving birth, the environment and medical level here are better, so he planned to let his child be born in Los Angeles.

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 fourth place in the Olympics, Liu Mang did not have much intuitive understanding except that the fan atmosphere was more popular when he returned to China to promote... There are more fans scolding him and arguing for him on the Internet, 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 gangster alliance 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.

"Don't be surprised when you hear that, Ace, you have become the first Asian athlete to have his own anniversary in Atlanta! The city council informed us that starting from June 6th next year, every June 15th in Atlanta will be the first anniversary of liumang! You can see it when you read 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?"

"Um..." Price didn't expect Liu Mang to ask this question. Fortunately, he had asked this question before when he was discussing this matter with the city council, and he replied, "Because this is the day when Ace won your first 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 2002, 12, 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. 11 pick. Yao Ming entered the NBA because he came to Houston with huge commercial value.

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!
