"Jessica Alba has a boyfriend."

"Um."

"Come out of the hotel together."

"Um."

"Still wearing the boy's clothes."

"I saw it on the news."

"What are you going to do?"

"If you dare to touch my Jessica, I will kill that rookie...ah...where are you biting Vanessa! Oh...hey...ah...um..."

This is Kobe Bryant's private night conversation on the night of December 8, 2001...

…

After sending Jessica off, Liu Mang stayed in the hotel and didn't go out. It was a small episode, and he didn't seem to have lost much, but he didn't take advantage either. He just lost a useless prop card.

, and just an inexplicable pillow.

However, this fuss made Liu Mang relax a lot. He was a little tight because he was dissatisfied with his shooting. Liu Mang's training volume did not decrease this day, but he was in a much happier mood.

Sure enough, no matter whether it is a positive or negative emotion, you must at least have some emotion, so that training will not be so boring.

After not being so tight, I felt that the day's training felt pretty good. When the training ended before 8 o'clock in the evening, Liu Mang even tried a shooting task.

It seems that I have made some progress. I made 100 three-pointers in 321 seconds. Although I am still a little short of it, as long as I get used to this feeling of non-stop shooting, I will slowly reach my goal and make 100 three-pointers in 300 seconds.

The goal is close at hand!

Soon, the time came to December 9th, and the Eagles' only five national live broadcasts a year were about to begin again.

Since yesterday afternoon, coach Kruger banned the players from going out that night due to some unexpected reasons. As for why, Liu Mang didn't know because he had been training.

As of this morning, he is still training. In the evening, it will be the third national broadcast this season. It will also be the last national broadcast for the Eagles in 2001. Of course, he must play a good game in front of the OK team and show his talent in front of fans across the United States.

Talent.

Liu Mang continued to practice his three offensive methods, three-pointers, free throws, and layups. After each group was completed, he marked it on the small whiteboard next to him. He did not rest for a while until the entire group of 1000, 500, and 500 training was completed.

Relax and continue practicing.

At the door of the indoor basketball court, Coach Kruger came.

"Molong, how long has Ace been practicing?" Coach Kruger originally wanted to talk to Liu Mang about something, but when he came here yesterday afternoon, he saw him training. After dinner, he came over and saw him training. He was still training when he came here this morning.

In training, I almost became a court rat.

"We haven't stopped since we got here the day before yesterday." Moron-Willi did something sorry for Liu Mang, so of course he had to speak up for Liu Mang, and this is also true.

"Ace has been practicing shooting? How many times?" Coach Kruger asked strangely, "Ace has been practicing?"

"Ace only recorded the number of hits in training. When I brought him water just now, he had made more than 4,200 three-pointers and 2,000 free throws in more than a day." Moron-Willie answered honestly.

"...Molong, please tell Ace to rest first and stop practicing. There is a game tonight. Training is very important, but it is also important to save your energy for the game." Coach Kruger originally wanted to educate Liu Mang, but in the end he still decided

I decided to give up because I was worried that this guy would waste his energy on a woman's belly. Now I found that instead of worrying about this, I was more worried that this guy would train himself too hard and break himself.

But we can’t stop such a motivated rookie from training!

"I understand, Lang, what do you want to do with Ace?"

"It's okay, I just wanted to remind him not to forget the team meeting after lunch."

"ok."

After Coach Kruger left, trainer Moron Willie entered the indoor court and said to Liu Mang: "Ace, the coach just came and asked you not to train too hard and lose your energy to play the game at night."

"Oh, I got it, I'm fine! I have plenty of energy!" Liu Mang bulged his pretty good biceps, saying that he would have no problem doing another set.

"..." It's simply too cruel! Moron-Willy has never seen anyone train like this!

The first night, I spent the night with Jessica Alba, who had just become the sexiest woman in America, and the next day I was able to shoot 3,000 three-pointers!

"The head coach asked you to go to the hotel's conference room 2 for a meeting after lunch."

"Okay, I'll go after I finish this set. You order a steak for me, medium rare, and I'll eat it here."

"..."

…

…

The team's pre-game meeting is generally used to set goals for today's game.

There is no doubt about this. Even if the team is playing poorly, the head coach will tell us how to win today's game.

How to achieve this goal, how to play today's tactics, which points of the opponent should be targeted, which weaknesses of one's own should be prevented from being targeted, players watch the opponent's recent game clips, players mainly watch the game clips of their opponents... and so on.

wait.

Of course, the coach has to make arrangements well, and there will be no coach watching over the rest. It all depends on the player's consciousness.

Generally, as long as there is enough time and the players have the consciousness, they will usually spend an afternoon at this stage and devote themselves to preparations for the next game.

But in fact, not so many people have that consciousness, and there are also many people who regard basketball purely as a job.

There are also super players like O'Neal who can destroy everything by playing alone. It doesn't matter if they are prepared or not.

However, Liu Mang is not such a genius. As long as it is not a back-to-back game, and it is not the kind of game where he plays an away game the next day and plays a second away game without a good rest, he will try his best to study his opponent.

The person Liu Mang will face tonight is probably... Fisher? Lynch Hunter? Or... Kobe Bryant?

Liu Mang is going to study the entire Lakers defense line. Who knows who he will face off against today? These unreliable teammates are all scared when they see the super giant.

The head coach made the usual tactical arrangements and left. Liu Mang was just about to go to the assistant coach to ask for the clips of several Lakers defenders, and found that the atmosphere today was a bit weird!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, it was a bit weird before, but the head coach was talking and everyone else was listening.

But now, Liu Mang found that everyone was looking at him with that strange look.

"Ace, you can't tell! If you don't hang out with us, it turns out that you have a better goal." Emmanuel came over and hooked Liu Mang's neck and said.

"ah?"

"Pretend! You are still pretending! The day before yesterday, I hooked up with a third-tier starlet and I was so happy that you actually slept with the sexiest woman!" Jason Terry said angrily, feeling that he had lost another trick.

"Ah?" Liu Mang didn't react for a moment.

"Stop pretending. Although you deliberately wore men's clothes to hide it, you were still photographed by reporters!" Muhammad was also envious and jealous.

After all, sleeping with Hollywood actresses is something everyone likes to see, and it's not a big deal.

But whoever you sleep with can be used as a talking point for the team to show off. Except for Jason Terry and Raheem, who have the capital to easily attract female stars, it is still a little difficult for the others in the Eagles.

, and it’s not that easy for them to pick up first- and second-tier celebrities, because they don’t need to sleep with them to gain attention, and they are usually third-tier stars or even minor stars.

Players basically don't care about scandals. As long as the game is played well, even if you hook the president's daughter, no one will say it's wrong. The main thing is that the game must be played well.

Liu Mang looked at the stack of newspapers handed over by Mohammed, and the first headline was that he and Jessica Alba came out of the back door of the hotel.

The title is "Sexy Goddess's Night Party, Mysterious Man Stays Up All Night".

There is also "Jessica Alba's Crazy Night at the Hotel" at the back. The following content seems to have been seen by paparazzi, describing how crazy Jessica was and her clothes were torn.

Then there is "Breaking News! The mysterious man at Jessica Alba's night party is exposed"

The perspective of sports newspapers is different. Generally speaking, fans in the entertainment industry will criticize this kind of thing non-stop, but sports fans will laugh at this kind of thing.

The Los Angeles Globe's sports headline, which favors the Clippers, is "Eagles rookie king is in love with sexy goddess Jessica Alba."

The Lakers-leaning Los Angeles Times sports headline read "Despicable Rookie Steals L.A. Goddess."

Still looking at the sports newspaper, Liu Mang felt comfortable when this strange thought flashed through his head, and he instantly exploded on the spot!

What a cheat!

Damn, if you go downstairs and send the girl to the car, you can take a picture from this angle?

Liu Mang didn't want to say that those paparazzi were so good at taking secret photos that they were able to find an angle in the scene where Liu Mang lent Jessica $100 to take a taxi. Liu Mang and Jessica "couldn't bear to separate their hands".

But, after staying in the NBA for a long time, Liu Mang knows one thing very well, that is, this kind of news, in addition to possibly affecting the player's status, is unlikely to have any impact on the player, whether from the perspective of making money or from the perspective of popularity.

What an impact it has.

It is said that the one who has more than 100 mistresses affects his commercial value and competition? Will the guy who is said to have killed 20,000 people be affected by historical evaluation because of this?

Didn’t you see that all the teammates were smiling, envious, jealous, and even curious, joking around?

Liu Mang was helpless and too lazy to continue talking about this unhappy matter with these dirty-minded men who were just shooting around. Liu Mang asked his assistants for Kobe Bryant, Fisher, Lynch Hunter, Mickey...

There are video DVDs of the five main guards of the Lakers, Richmond and Brian Shaw. I went back to the room and watched them on the DVD player in the room.

There was not such a good Internet these days, and there was no so-called box for watching TV, either cable TV or DVD discs.

When I turned on the TV, it happened to be an entertainment TV station in Los Angeles that was showing a soap opera the night before.

In the TV picture, it seemed that Kobe Bryant, who went to Staples Center for training early this morning, was surrounded by gossip media and asked questions about Liu Mang.

Kobe's answer was simple: "That rookie is outstanding. I am ready to go all out to compete with that rookie. I have never been so enthusiastic."

"..."

Liu Mang was so shocked that the CD in his hand fell on the floor. Damn it! I am born with a sarcastic face. Who gets mad when he sees someone?

At this time, the system stabbed me again.

"Ding... Jessica Alba is the most perfect goddess in Hollywood in Kobe Bryant's mind, but she has never won his heart. Kobe Bryant is full of jealousy of the host, and the host triggers a temporary mission."

"Temporary mission: Kobe Bryant's jealousy: Score at least 15 points on Kobe Bryant. When the host comes on the court, there is a high chance that they will face Kobe Bryant's single defense throughout the game."
