Finally home!

When Liu Mang returned home, little Loli Dinah heard the sound of a car driving into the yard and ran out in a hurry. When she came to the garage and saw Liu Mang coming out after parking the car, she pounced on him.

During the flight, Dinah shouted excitedly: "Uncle, you are finally back!"

Liu Mang quickly hugged this little loli that was getting bigger and bigger.

Children in the United States do more physical exercise when they are young. As they get older, their height increases rapidly. Last year, they could not reach their waist, but this year they are almost reaching their belly!

Liu Mang was so busy this past winter that he didn't notice that Dinah had grown so much.

After being caught by Liu Mang, Dinah jumped on the ground and pulled Liu Mang towards the house, urging him all the time.

"Uncle, hurry up, Dinah watched your talk show, it was great! I didn't expect uncle to also perform on TV..."

When they arrived in the living room, Dinah asked Liu Mang to sit on the sofa first, and then ran away.

When Liu Mang came back, he met this startled little lolita and smiled helplessly. He knew that since he was on the entertainment channel, his family would definitely be in trouble. He didn't expect Alexia and Levia to be like this.

The two people who looked more like they would pay attention to entertainment programs didn't have much reaction, but Dinah was the most surprised.

Although Dinah likes watching soap operas, she doesn't seem to care much about celebrities in the entertainment industry. Instead, she likes sports. Liu Mang didn't expect Dinah to be the most excited one.

After a while, Liu Mang saw Dinah going downstairs holding a pile of autograph books and star cards.

"What is this?" Liu Mang had an ominous premonition.

"This is a classmate from our school asking Dinah to help get uncle's autograph! Uncle, you don't know, after your talk show aired a few days ago, the classmates came to ask Dinah when the next show will be, and they all like uncle

!" Dinah directly put a signature pen into Liu Mang's hand and said excitedly, with a little anticipation and a little joy.

"..." Liu Mang looked at this pile of autograph books and star cards. There must be a hundred copies! This little loli is really strong!

Wait, Liu Mang remembered something and asked strangely: "Dina, don't you want your classmates to know that you know me?"

"Uncle, don't worry about these things. Come and sign for Dinah. Dinah promised her classmates that uncle will definitely sign for them. Come on, uncle, can you sign for Dinah..."

Wow, this trick is really effective again. Liu Mang helplessly signed his autograph book and star cards.

While signing Liu Mang's autographs, he chatted with Dinah. As they chatted, Liu Mang discovered that Dinah had not only grown taller, but also started to grow up mentally. She began to care about face like an ordinary girl in the third or fourth grade of elementary school.

, because the "family" is more sound, she can show off some things like ordinary girls, such as Liu Mang, which is what she likes to show off the most.

And Liu Mang didn't expect that Dinah's favorite thing to show off was himself...Wait a minute, Liu Mang realized that it seemed wrong to use things to describe himself, and he was not a thing...Wait a minute, he found that he

It seems like I scolded myself...

Liu Mang thought that Dinah seemed to be 9 years old by the end of the year. Time flies so fast! He also thought that since the beginning of this season, he seemed to have very little time to chat with Dinah, play games and so on. When training at home, he also hired

Little Jimmy paid $10 an hour to help pick up balls, but Dinah didn't have anything to do with it, and she didn't realize that Dinah had grown up!

Time is such a wonderful thing...

…

…

After returning to Atlanta yesterday, Liu Mang spent the afternoon with Dinah at home, signing autographs for her classmates and taking a few group photos, which Dinah wanted to use as the school's final commemorative booklet.

School students in the United States are very mobile. Some parents often change schools every semester because of their high job mobility. Some parents think that it is not good for their children to study at such a young age, so they take their children to travel.

There are various reasons, so it is possible that a group of classmates will change again in the next semester. In American schools, children, teachers, and parents attach great importance to the final activities of each period in elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools. Elementary schools are

The main thing is a commemorative booklet. If you are in junior high school, you can go on outings and so on. If you are in high school, you can play a lot more. And American high school students are very good at playing...

I had a relaxing day's rest at home yesterday. Today, April 4th, the Eagles will face the Philadelphia 76ers at home.

The game between the Hawks and the 76ers has attracted considerable attention and is regarded as a preview of a possible second round of this season's playoffs.

When the title of this live broadcast preview was released by T.N.T, two teams were unhappy. One was the Pistons, currently the number one team in the Eastern Conference, and the other was the Hornets, currently the fourth team in the Eastern Conference.

Fortunately for the Hornets, their record is not as good as the 76ers, but they were lucky enough to sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. They did not have a home court advantage when they faced the 76ers in the first round.

The main dissatisfaction is with the Pistons. The Pistons feel like the whole world thinks they are going to lose to the Hawks. They are number one in the Eastern Conference!

Liu Mang was already calm when he saw the live broadcast trailer of inciting hatred. This T.N.T is just not getting along with them! It is forcing hatred.

But there are too many people who hate him. The Pistons already hate them enough. A little more... doesn't matter.

…

A championship is the dream of most stars.

Yes, it’s a star’s dream.

For ordinary players, unless they are following their boss in a championship-level team, most of their ideals or dreams have not yet reached the point of fighting for the championship.

Basketball is actually the same as life. You must first meet your basic needs before you can devote more time to your spiritual pursuits.

Of course, there is no shortage of people in the world who would rather make less money for their dreams, and there is no shortage in the NBA.

For example, Allen Iverson, for his basketball dream, for his brothers, and for love, he spent all his wealth, and he didn't even have a few dollars left in his bank card.

There are dozens of people in the family who are not working but are asking for food, clothing, women, and cars...

Is Iverson a fool?

Is he a person without any financial acumen?

Is he so stupid that he gives money to anyone who asks for it?

Yes, yes, he is...

…

The above is Liu Mang's ridicule of Iverson in the talk show. On the one hand, it is based on the miserable situation that Iverson was exposed to advance this season's salary in advance last year, and the remaining money in his bank card is less than 50,000 US dollars. You need to know

His salary for the 2001-2002 season plus endorsement fees was close to 20 million US dollars after tax. His income in the league was second only to Garnett and Carter, and more than Kobe, Duncan, and O'Neal, but he only spent 50,000 US dollars.

The money was gone! The media was so hyped at the time, and he kicked his wife out without any clothes on because of financial problems, and the two had a fierce argument.

Liu Mang also wanted to use this to remind Iverson in a joking way that not all "brothers" are really brothers. It is not wise for him to raise a group of brothers so generously.

However, since this matter has been hyped by the media for a long time, and it was broadcast live on TV and the news media often used this matter to make fun of him, Iverson was not too angry when he saw Liu Mang making fun of him on his talk show.

They all laughed non-stop.

Also, deep down in his heart, Iverson felt that his act of spending all his money to be a brother was an act of generosity. He didn't feel anything was wrong, and he was somewhat proud of it.

Before the game against the 76ers started, Iverson came to the Eagles locker room and had a chat with Liu Mang. Iverson was a man who wanted to save face. He didn’t know whether his team would lose or win against the Eagles. What if he lost?

If he wins, he will definitely leave directly after the game and will not accept interviews. If he wins, he will be very arrogant and will not come to chat with Liu Mang, so he will chat before the game.

Liu Mang thought Iverson was here to seek revenge. Unexpectedly, Iverson himself was so happy with the ridicule on the talk show that he even asked Liu Mang to call him for such fun things in the future.

After learning Iverson's thoughts, Liu Mang was speechless.

That's right. During Iverson's career, the news that he was ridiculed and ridiculed for raising a group of brothers and even his wife ran away did not happen once or twice. But Iverson knew that he would retire and go bankrupt, and all his friends would run away, so he did not respond.

What kind of "reflection" is there?

This is a person's attitude towards life. Iverson liked this. Liu Mang could only remind him more, but he found that the reminder was useless, so he stopped worrying about this kind of thing.

Everyone has their own life, and you can try to influence other people's lives, but never have the idea of ​​​​manipulating other people's lives, otherwise everyone will be unhappy.

Liu Mang felt that Iverson was probably the Iverson because of his uniqueness. Moreover, his life was not bad after he retired. He met a good agent and invested part of his income in a trust fund.

He accumulated five million US dollars before retiring, and tens of thousands of dollars in principal and interest are returned every month after retirement. Although he cannot spend money as lavishly as he did during his career, at least he will not end up on the street.

Iverson's choice of such a lifestyle was his freedom. Liu Mang reminded him once, but it had no effect, so he didn't care so much.

To make friends is to have heart-to-heart conversations and learn from others' strengths, rather than having to ask others to correct what you think are shortcomings.

Liu Mang learned a lot from Iverson. In addition to Iverson's tough character and competitive spirit that everyone could see, Liu Mang also learned from Iverson's extremely bad attitude towards financial management.

Some things are that money cannot be spent blindly, and people can be used as a mirror to understand gains and losses...

…

The game is about to begin!

Entrance ceremony!

First, the visiting team enters the stadium. On the 76ers side, this year the 76ers came to the Eagles' home court to play. There were a lot fewer Iverson fans at the scene. Especially now, the Eagles are likely to play against the 76ers in the second round.

There are very few visiting team fans in games. Except for a handful of die-hard Iverson fans wearing the 76ers' black No. 3, almost all of them are wearing Eagles jerseys or T-shirts from the Eagles' official cooperative brand "Hooligan League."

Football fans wearing shirts or vests.

When the 76ers came out, there were boos everywhere!

When I arrived at Iverson's place, the boos reached their peak.

Then the home players entered the stadium, and the boos immediately turned into cheers.

Watching Rahim and Mohammed appear first, and then Prince also ran out.

This seemed to be Liu Mang's first time participating in the entrance ceremony as a player, and Liu Mang felt a little uneasy.

It's not that he hasn't played before, but even when he occasionally discussed with Jason Terry that he wanted to play, the entrance ceremony was where Jason Terry stood, including when he entered the stadium in the last game against the Grizzlies.

It was also where Jason Terry was standing, and Liu Mang was standing in the two rows of substitutes outside the tunnel.

The Eagles' previous position was very stable. The list submitted before the game was composed of Jason Terry, Prince, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.
