Olajuwon remembered an event he and Jordan attended at the beginning of the month. He and Jordan talked about Liu Mang asking him to learn low-post moves and jokingly saying that he wanted to steal Jordan's disciples. Jordan's meaningful smile...

So that’s what you were talking about!

This disciple of Jordan is a complete monster!

Indeed, I don’t have much experience in low-post singles, and once I learn the moves, the practicality is not yet strong.

But this guy is only 23 years old!

In three days, I learned all the various uses and variations of Dream Steps.

With such a learning speed, are you worried that it will not be practical in the future?

Give it a year or two to train and practice in competitions...

Olajuwon felt that Liu Mang's learning talent was terrible!

The key is Liu Mang's crazy training attitude of four hours in the morning and four hours in the afternoon, which is what makes Olajuwon feel the scariest.

To work hard, you also need to have talent to work hard. If you want to train yourself to death, your body must be able to hold on.

He learned all the steps in just three days. Olajuwon felt so bad. Originally, he thought teaching one or two moves a week was too much. Then he could earn Liu Mang two or three times in the future. Who knew what he could do in a week?

Half the time is not used up!

"Hakeem, is there anything else you need to learn?" Liu Mang reviewed the low-post moves again and then approached Olajuwon.

Olajuwon is really desperate, but he can't appear to be incapable!

Olajuwon responded as if everything was under control: "Ace, you are already very good at mid-range shooting. Today our training is hook shot, which is an important shooting technique combined with low-post footwork."

Hook?

This feeling is good!

Liu Mang knows one trick in his hook, which is the small sky hook, but he doesn't have too many hook skills. He doesn't need to be systematic. Just learn a little. The chance of using this is not high. He can use it occasionally when he needs it.

Not bad.

Moreover, the hook is considered a type of shooting. Even if you learn the movements, the accuracy still needs to be practiced slowly, just like the small sky hook that Liu Mang learned from the Magic star card.

After teaching hook shots on both sides of the basket, Olajuwon finally felt a little relieved when he saw that Liu Mang's learning speed had finally slowed down and he needed to practice hard like normal people...

…

…

In the next four days, Liu Mang practiced shooting, not only hook shots, but also mid-range shots and short-range jump shots with dreamy footsteps.

The week of study passed quickly. Olajuwon felt like he had a nightmare. Even Liu Mang refused to treat him to dinner by lying and saying that he had something to do. He fled back to his villa in Manhattan Beach, not wanting to see Liu Mang again.

Reckless.

Liu Mang still wants to communicate with Olajuwon, which feels like a pity.

But the time is almost up. On the 24th, the Eagles will gather to start training camp one week earlier than the league stipulates.

This year the Hawks have several more players. Granger, David Lee, Barry, and Horry are four new players who need to get used to well.

Fortunately, the core lineup and even the main role players have not changed much. Except for Mohammed leaving the team and Persson retiring, there are no changes in the main players. Compared to last season, it is almost a brand new team.

This season will definitely be much more secure.

…

"I'm back!" Liu Mang shouted towards the house after parking the car.

The little Loli immediately rushed up and jumped towards Liu Mang.

Liu Mang caught the baby out of habit and put the little Loli on the ground: "You are almost 11 years old, why are you still acting like a child?"

Liu Mang rubbed little Loli's head and walked towards the villa.

"Uncle, Dinah's hair is messed up!" the little Loli said dissatisfied.

"Uh... the head can be cut off, but the bleeding can't be messed up?" Liu Mang felt that time passed so fast, this little loli has already reached this age.

On the afternoon of the 21st, Liu Mang took a flight back to Atlanta.

Entering the house, Liu Mang felt...as if he had returned to his hometown in Jiashan. It was much livelier than before.

I didn’t feel much of it when I was in Los Angeles. I lived there very little, but when I returned to the familiar Atlanta, when I entered the house, I saw two American girls and their parents playing mahjong. Liu Mang felt that this scene...

Too strange!

"Ace, you're back, do you want to come and play two games?" Alexia waved to Liu Mang with her big belly.

Play two sets...two sets...sets...

"No, I'm a little tired from training these days. I'm going to take a bath and rest first, and then I'll play video games with Dinah later. Mahjong is too taxing on my head." Liu Mang hurried back to the room.

The two girls and the two elders ignored Liu Mang and continued to beat him.

Hearing that Alexia would use the word "pan" to describe playing mahjong, Liu Mang felt that...their parents had taken the two girls' painting styles astray!

The quintessence of the Chinese nation, Liu Mang comforted himself...

However, Liu Mang felt that Alexia's belly seemed to have grown a little bigger after not seeing him for a week, and the due date was about four weeks away.

The recent pregnancy test reports stated that the fetus was sound and there were no problems. When the due date arrived, Alexia could be admitted to the hospital and wait to give birth to the baby.

Thinking about the time when the season starts, he will have a son or daughter. Liu Mang feels that the new season is very special...

…

After Liu Mang returned to Atlanta, he did not immediately continue training. Instead, he spent two relaxing days with his family. On September 24, the Eagles' training camp began, and it was time to go to the team

It’s time to report.

In the morning, Liu Mang got up early and took his little Lolita out for an hour-long morning run. When he returned home at around seven o'clock, Liu Mang's father had already prepared breakfast. After Liu Mang took a shower, he put Alexi

Ya helped him down, and together with bodyguard Christine Wagner, there were seven people at a table, and they had breakfast together.

Liu Mang always wanted to complain about one thing. These two girls used to stay up until noon. Since his parents came, they go to bed early and get up early every day...

But I don’t dare to complain, for fear of being violently tortured...

…

Liu Mang arrived at the arena at around eight o'clock and found that many teammates had already started training.

Although the Eagles coaching staff started training camp a week early, in fact on the 19th, everyone except Liu Mang had already returned to the team and started training early.

The competitive pressure on the Eagles' current role players is no less than last season.

In the new season, there are new teammates and new teams to compete with.

The old players from last season now have new pressure, so they are very motivated to show their progress in the summer. Not to mention the new rookies, they have learned how to carry bags early. The two old players Barry and Horry

I also want to show my enthusiasm to avoid being replaced by the Eagles.

"Oh oh oh... Our MVP is finally back. How is it? How about learning the low position with Hakeem?" Horry brought Barry up and gave Liu Mang a warm hug.

Horry and Barry were not young people. When they entered the locker room, they saw three separate wardrobes in the middle of the locker room. The two wardrobes next to them were hung with the jerseys of Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady. The middle wardrobe held six pairs of Liu Mang's jerseys.

Mang's signature shoes in home and away colors, you know that the boss of the Hawks is not the more senior Tracy McGrady, but Liu Mang.

"It's cool. Hakeem's low-post moves are so good. I practiced for a long time and barely got started." Liu Mang responded with a smile.

"Wow, it's not easy to get started in low-post singles! Without that talent, you can't even get started. I heard you only learned it for a week! Oh my god..." Barry made an exaggerated appearance.

"It's just good luck. The main reason is that Hakim taught me well..."

Liu Mang exchanged pleasantries with Horry and Barry. For such a veteran, Liu Mang already understood the behavior of these old players after Persson joined last year.

Not everyone is Mourning. Mourning's tough-guy character is actually rare in the NBA.

I got to know the two new veterans again, and now as teammates, the grudges from last year's finals have of course gone with the wind.

"Ace, your training clothes have been put away in your closet. After changing into your training clothes, go to the physical therapy room for a physical test." Emmanuel came up and said after seeing Liu Mang and the two veterans finished their greetings.

"Okay, I understand," he still felt comfortable talking to his old teammates whom he had known since the beginning. However, Liu Mang looked at Emmanuel and said with disdain: "I said Emmanuel, you finally lost weight last year.

A little bit, why have I gained so much weight in the past summer? Be careful of fatty liver disease and diabetes!"

"I've worked very hard, Ace. When you go to Los Angeles for training next summer, take me with you. I'll be your caddy and you can live with me." Emmanuel was also desperate!

As a former professional athlete, my metabolism used to be very fast, and my body was used to eating so much. In the summer, trainers like them were on paid leave and had no amount of exercise, so they naturally gained weight.

Liu Mang thought about it, it was not bad, there was an extra free trainer, so he agreed. As an old teammate, Liu Mang was really worried that there would be something wrong with Emmanuel being so fat.

After changing into training clothes, Liu Mang went to the physical therapy room. Emmanuel had already notified the coaching staff that Liu Mang was here.

"Coach, long time no see!" Liu Mang greeted Coach Kruger.

"Yeah." Coach Kruger still looked cold and took Liu Mang to warm up, and then started the physical test.

Liu Mang also wants to know how much his physical test data has changed this year compared to last year. His strength has increased to the limit!

After a series of physical tests, the coaching staff was stunned by the changes in Liu Mang over the past year!

Height: 193 cm.

Wingspan: 208 cm.
