75. Iron-Blooded Heat
"Mom... hello... mother... hello... the signal is not good! Do you hear me?... OK, mom, listen to me. Mom, go and buy me 10... no, 20 of the latest Motorola mobile phones...
…”
Outside the bathroom, Liu Mang heard Terry's voice, which was the standard of this era's mobile phone output. At this moment, Liu Mang felt that Jason Terry had the "boss style"!
Jason Terry is a very respectable and wealthy person. After his four-year rookie contract ends, his annual salary will be at least tens of millions, which is a small amount of money.
Save money if a big customer pays!
"Ace, what are you enjoying?" Emmanuel came to the toilet and happened to see Liu Mang there having fun.
"Uh... that's it. Just now our boss Jason said that he would give us Thanksgiving gifts in advance and give each of us a mobile phone. How generous!" Liu Mang didn't hide it, everyone had already gone to buy mobile phones.
"Really? Give each of us one? Cool! I happened to meet a girl in a nightclub and asked me to give her a mobile phone. More than a thousand yuan is quite expensive." Emmanuel is not a high-paid player, and his salary is not as high as Liu's.
No matter where Mang Gao goes, with the purchasing power of US dollars, more than 1,000 US dollars is quite a lot for the bottom players of the NBA at this time.
Sometimes it’s not that you can’t afford something, or that you don’t like it, it’s just that different ways of getting it lead to different levels of comfort.
For example, if you cheat Jason Terry, you will feel very happy.
Liu Mang said that this is definitely not because of stinginess!
Absolutely not!
At this time, Jason Terry came out of the bathroom after making a phone call and happened to hear the conversation between the two, and his vanity exploded instantly.
"It's not something expensive. Ace and Emmanuel will give each of you two mobile phones!!" Jason Terry said proudly, saying that having money means being willful.
…
…
If there is a person who can tell that he is generous just by looking at his appearance, in ancient China, he had a thick neck, a big beard, bright eyes, and an unkempt appearance, and you would know that he is generous at a glance.
Alonzo Mourning is such a person. He is a big man, with a neck as thick as his head, strong eyes, a wide nose, and an unkempt beard.
"Haha, you are Ace? Not bad, but you have lost a little weight. Look at those muscles, if you practice more, the future will be yours!" Mourning has also reached the end of his career. No matter how good his record is, the first thing is to be heroic.
.
In fact, Mourning is only 31 years old. For a superstar-level center, especially a center with a height of 2.1 meters, perfect muscles, and a perfect body shape, he should be able to play at 37 or 8. This time belongs to
He was in his peak period. Unfortunately, the cause of the special kidney disease that could not be detected caused him kidney failure. He had to undergo dialysis treatment for nearly a year. All aspects of his body's functions declined seriously. He went directly from the peak of the 1999-2000 season.
The best defensive player and shot-blocking leader was retired last season, and now he is back as a veteran.
Liu Mang is very sorry about this. He cannot hold such a bold-looking opponent... No, he is a very bold opponent. It is really a pity that he suddenly changed from a super insider second only to the four major centers to a blue-collar veteran.
.
But...the future belongs to your family! It belongs to your whole family!
Isn’t this a curse?
Mourning came to get to know the young man who had recently become famous, and then went to chat with Ratliff and Rahim. These were members of his top circle, and they were not at the same level as Liu Mang. They knew each other.
Giving him a greeting gift is a sign of care from seniors.
After a while, the game started.
The Eagles still have the same five guys, Dean Grove, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff playing together.
On the Heat's side, Pat Riley emphasized defense, because the Heat can only look at defense now. They sent out former Lakers All-Star guard Eddie Jones, and former Jazz guard Luo Luo, who just played against Jordan in the Finals.
De Strickland's backcourt combination.
The characteristic of these two defenders is that they are good at defense, especially Eddie Jones. When he was drafted, the template was Scottie Pippen. He is a very tough defender. He has averaged 2.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game in his career. He has had many
He averaged 2 steals and 1 block per game this season, and his defense is quite tough.
Strickland's defense is also very strong. Just because Jordan averaged 30 points per game does not mean that his defense is poor.
But these two guards combined to average 5 assists per game is also intoxicating.
The Heat are also very impressive in the frontcourt. Jim Jackson, Brian Grant, and Alonzo Mourning average a combined 33 points per game. They are all defensive players. Together with the backcourt, they average 28 points per game.
, that is to say, the Heat's combined scoring average is only 61 points per game! And these people average more than 36 minutes per game! Pat Riley doesn't care if you are injured or not, just use it to death anyway.
Well, his characteristic is that he is good at squeezing players' residual value.
After the game started, Liu Mang felt really pained when he saw the rhythm on the court.
Jason Terry couldn't get up to speed at all. Both Eddie Jones and Strickland kept the pace very low, especially Eddie Jones, a multiple-time All-Star and multiple-time All-Defensive Second Team player.
, even Jason Terry in his peak period is unlikely to be Eddie Jones's opponent, and it will be difficult to take a shot under Eddie Jones's defense.
Let alone Dean Grove, he is a long-distance runner.
The Eagles' offense is originally aimed at the outside, and the inside is defensive. It happens to be playing a four-man basketball game with Mourning and Brian Grant. The Eagles can only point to Raheem's hard work in one-on-one one-on-one.
Jim Jackson, the defensive star whose muscles are so muscular that you can see the veins.
Jim Jackson was 32 years old when he came to the Heat. In his later years, his characteristics were similar to Ariza's, but he was even more desperate. He was no longer the pie-eating maniac next to Kidd. His offense was even worse than Ariza's. In fact,
His shooting percentage was not very good during his peak period, and his career shooting percentage was just over 40%, but the defense dared to hit his head with his elbow.
The Hawks' offense is dismal, and the Heat's are even worse. Mourning can't hit him in the paint. He used to be explosive and could beat Ratliff, the shot-blocking leader, but now he's at a disadvantage because of his height and weight.
Point guard Strickland is very defensive and scumbag offensively. Jim Jackson, who once played very well next to Kidd and is now aging, will definitely be nicknamed Temujin after ten years.
After the Heat, Jim Jackson's offensive package seemed to have been robbed. Brian Grant's second offense was okay, but a bunch of people under the basket couldn't grab it at all.
Therefore, the Heat's offense is directed at Eddie Jones, who was once squeezed out by Kobe Bryant. Eddie Jones is also very strong...
In the seven minutes of the first quarter, the Eagles only scored in two sports games, and a few free throws added up to a total of 8 points.
The Heat didn't fare much better, scoring only 7 points.
Liu Mang covered his face in pain when he saw the officials suspending coach Kruger to prepare a substitution.
What are you doing here? Who are you fighting with? Eddie Jones, the player on the All-Defensive Second Team? Or Strickland, the defensive hero who fought Jordan twice in the Finals?
Coach Kruger is very strange, why didn't Liu Mang, a little kid like Liu Mang, just go on the field when there was a timeout today? You should learn to listen to the tactics?
"Ace, go up and play whatever you want, as long as you score! We want to score! Use your fouls to kill them!" Coach Kruger said to Liu Mang.
Liu Mang felt something was wrong when he heard this. In people's eyes, he is a shameless foul maker?
