DoubleTree by Hilton Minneapolis Downtown.

The largest conference room in the Doubletree Hotel can accommodate more than 200 people for meetings at the same time, but only a few people are sitting in the conference room.

Moreover, there were only about ten people, and they were divided into two groups.

They are Kobe Bryant, the other three giants of the Lakers, and Fisher, Wang Zhizhi, Devin George, and Fox, the main rotation players of the Lakers.

Then there are the members of the coaching staff.

Having just watched the national live broadcast of Game 4 of the series between the Hawks and Nets, the atmosphere within the Lakers team is a bit solemn.

The coaching staff went to have an overnight meeting first, and the remaining players started chatting and discussing the game.

"This year's playoffs are fun, hahahahaha." O'Neal made an angry speech before bursting into laughter.

"Yes, it will definitely be more interesting than playing the Nets the year before." Rick Fox, who is not far away from retiring, is now not short of a championship. He has won three consecutive championships. In the last year of his career, he retired with a perfect mid-level title.

It is said that it is much more fun to play against a more challenging team than to win the championship by almost crushing them during the three consecutive championships.

Fisher smiled and said nothing. His relationship with Payton is not good at all now. In the playoffs, his performance was much better than Payton. Especially in this round of the Western Conference Finals, Payton was beaten by an alien.

It was a blast, but he averaged 10 4 4 per game, and the point guard's three-point shooting percentage reached 42%.

Payton didn't say anything. His contribution in this year's playoffs was almost negative, but he has the Lakers' third-highest salary. He really didn't know what to say.

Payton's full mid-level salary of 4.9 million is already the Lakers' third-highest salary. The first is O'Neal's more than 24 million, and the second is Kobe's more than 13 million.

However, the Lakers have four mid-level contracts in their hands. Now it seems that basically all of them are bad. Almost all other players have basic salaries and two-year contracts.

When Malone saw Stockton, Boozer, Liu Mang, and Ostertag playing together in the garbage time at the end of the quarter, he stopped talking.

The day has come!

The Lakers are currently playing against the Timberwolves and are already leading 3-1. In Malone's view, they can advance to the Finals in at most two more games. Even if they lose the away game the day after tomorrow, they can basically win the series at home.

race.

Malone is not afraid of opponents like Garnett at all. At the age of 41, he can still average a double-double against Garnett.

However, when the opponent after promotion was determined to be the Hawks in advance, Malone felt a little strange. He had to play against Stockton again. Every time he felt like he was in another world.

After Fox finished speaking, the conference room fell silent. Wang Zhizhi and Devin Brown, the two smallest players in the main rotation, rarely spoke at such times.

O'Neal felt a little embarrassed!

It's all that guy's fault!

There is a guy who may have a private deal with the basket manufacturer, and the air pressure at the scene is very low!

O'Neal liked the relaxed and happy atmosphere and took the initiative to tease Wang Zhizhi: "Big-by, we are all babies of the Big family. You are about to play with the best player in your country in the finals. Are you ready to torture him? Come on, I

I’ll record a video for you and give it to Ace next time we meet.”

After O'Neill finished speaking, he actually took out a camera. It was a lightweight camera. In O'Neill's hand, it was just like a small toy.

Then, Wang Zhizhi really cooperated. I don’t know how long I haven’t cut my hair. Maybe it hasn’t been cut since the playoffs. It was the same hairstyle as a dog. When I saw O’Neal really turned on the recording, the green light came on.

Wang Zhizhi also adjusted his hair and asked: "Boss Shaq, what should I say?"

O'Neal liked this kind of player who cooperated with him. He praised Wang Zhizhi in his heart and prepared to pass two more balls to this sensible boy in the next game. He replied: "Just say: I am going to beat Ace, beat him."

All you big men, your big men are so bad, I will kill all your big men."

After saying this, O'Neal burst into laughter. His fat and obscene energy made all the teammates around him laugh.

O'Neal was obviously teasing Wang Zhizhi, but Wang Zhizhi actually cleared his throat and started talking.

Several teammates around him started to make noises. They didn't expect that Wang Zhizhi was really going to say something! This is causing trouble!

"I'm ready, Boss Shaq. Can you delete the previous one and re-record it? Is it done? OK, cough." Wang Zhizhi cleared his throat and said: "Hawks players, listen to me, our boss Shaq

- O'Neal said, I will torture you to death, especially that fat guy from the Jazz. Our boss is going to dunk you to death. Your inside line is too weak... By the way, our boss is too fat and can't sit up, so I help him record it.

This is what I said.”

"Hahahahaha...big-by...dare you say I'm too fat to stand up?" O'Neal began to laugh and chase Wang Zhizhi, while the others continued to boo.

Two years later, Wang Zhizhi and O'Neal have a pretty good relationship. O'Neal calls Wang Zhizhi the most interesting among his teammates. Wang Zhizhi also takes the initiative to get close to O'Neal, which is the so-called siding with him.

Kobe, on his side, showed a hint of impatience when he saw his teammates having fun, and left without saying hello.

…

Back in the room, Kobe took out his cell phone and spent more than ten minutes to finally spell out a sentence. He found Liu Mang's phone number and sent it to Liu Mang.

Just one sentence, a dozen letters, and I typed it for more than ten minutes.

However, Kobe doesn't want to talk to Liu Mang at all now. Now when he calls Liu Mang, he feels that he will be pissed off by the other party's snarling. For the sake of health, he would rather use an electronic product that he is not familiar with to type.

The result of Kobe's ten minutes of typing, translated into Chinese is: "See you in the finals."

…

…

Atlanta, Levia's villa, outdoor basketball court in the backyard.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Mang is practicing dribbling and layup with his left hand.

Watching Liu Mang practice the simplest layup again and again, the little loli next to her had boredom written all over her face.

Dinah had already gone on summer vacation on May 24th. When Liu Mang came back, she was very excited and wanted to hug and kiss Liu Mang, who had reached the finals for the first time.

However, Liu Mang hugged him for a while, then dragged the basket to practice ball.

Dinah thought it would be good to watch Liu Mang practice, but she didn't expect that the content of Liu Mang's practice was so boring...

After watching for a while, Dinah felt sleepy, said hello, and went back to the room to take a shower and prepare for an afternoon nap.

Liu Mang practiced his left hand as the main ball handler again and again, making breakthrough layups from the left and right. The scene looked really boring, but he practiced very energetically!

Liu Mang feels amazing now!

After I learned how to play left and right, there was no special change in my left hand, but this feeling was the most amazing!

I don’t know why, but when I control the ball with my left hand or do things with my left hand, I don’t feel any deliberate intention, I just do it as soon as I think of it!

Although he used Ginobili's star card twice to experience the competition, it was a fierce game at that time. Liu Mang was thinking about how to make good use of the feeling at that time, rather than feeling the feeling at that time.

I just feel this wonderful feeling now!

Of the three, ball control, shooting, and passing, ball control is the roughest and easiest to learn. Liu Mang originally needed to use his left hand when he broke through. For example, when changing direction, he needed his left hand to pull and shoot the ball, so he used his left hand.

His ball control is pretty good, but his shooting and passing are still a bit far behind.

Liu Mang now had this wonderful feeling. He thought about it carefully and found that he was missing the feeling.

There is no more deliberate feeling when he wants to deliberately use his left hand. Now Liu Mang switches the ball from his right hand to his left hand and dribbles in place, or switches the ball with his left hand to his right hand and dribbles in place. It feels amazing.

, there is no need to give instructions from the brain in advance when changing hands of the ball. In the past, when dribbling the ball under the hip, the feeling was right hand, left hand, right hand. Now it feels like, right hand, right hand, right hand...

This feeling is really amazing, and Liu Mang can't help but practice left-hand layups again and again. The delicate work of long-range shots, Liu Mang can't do it with his left hand for the time being, but layups are relatively rough.

, Liu Mang quickly adapted to it, not to mention the first hit, but there was no awkwardness in the shot!

The ability evaluation of 89 is not in vain!

…

This morning, after Liu Mang woke up, the system's ability evaluation had been calculated. Liu Mang opened the system panel and saw that the ability evaluation had suddenly increased by 3 points.

This increase was a bit astonishing, because Liu Mang felt that there was a fight between the left and right at the time. For a while, he might have had a miraculous effect on the defensive end, but the offensive end probably had no effect. However, he did not expect that he would suddenly become a first-class player.

The pinnacle! Only one step away from the top stars!

Because the teammates drank too much last night, they were a bit drunk, and even the coaching staff fell a few times. After all, being able to reach the finals is like a dream for those coaches.

Among the Hawks, only Liu Mang got on the plane at 9:30 in the morning and returned to Atlanta on time.

After arriving home, Liu Mang couldn't wait to start practicing with his left hand. Unexpectedly, although the shooting was indeed a bit miserable, it could not be because of lack of strength, he could actually shoot three-pointers without touching, but his dribbling soon became better.

Layups are passable.

Liu Mang feels that in addition to the fact that he usually uses his left hand to do some things when breaking through, he controls the ball with his left hand quite well, which is inseparable from the level 5 ball control master!

In addition to the 3-point improvement in his ability evaluation, Liu Mang's ability evaluation is a little different from others!

Ability evaluation 89, left-handed shooting ability: 51 three-pointers, 62 mid-range shots, 75 layups. Right-hand shooting ability: 88 three-pointers, 85 mid-range shots, 90 layups.

The shooting abilities of the left and right hands are different!

It's just that the shooting ability of his left hand is a bit terrible.

In addition, the league's top level of right-hand ball control of 95 and the average left-hand ball control of 77 are a little more than that, which is miserable enough.

In any ability evaluation that separates the left and right hands, the left hand is pretty miserable.

However, Liu Mang is already very satisfied. The situation is much better than he imagined! One talent skill has improved his ability evaluation by 3 points. The key is that this kind of growth talent skill will not be like the explosive talent skill.

There is no time limit, this is a skill integrated into the body!

Moreover, when left and right fight each other, not only the non-dominant hand of the left hand becomes the same dominant hand as the right hand, but the left-right balance of the whole person has undergone great changes, and the entire muscle group of the left side of the body has changed.

Liu Mang clearly felt that some muscle groups on the left side of his body had become stronger. It was not that he had not practiced strength training in the past, but that he had used his hands to do things in life, and the whole body had naturally developed muscle groups.

There are also some changes that cannot be felt, such as the bones of the left side of the body, but they do exist because the bones, joints, etc. of the dominant hand are slightly different from the non-dominant side... Of course, when you are born, the left and right hands must be almost exactly the same.

, the left and right parts of the body are basically the same, but as age increases, the frequency of use of the left and right hands is different, which leads to changes in the entire body. The bones, joints, tendons, etc. of the body with the dominant hand will be used more.

If it is too large, it will become slightly different from the other side. You can clearly see it from taking X-ray photos, but you won't feel the difference.

Liu Mang felt as if he had been rebuilt from head to toe!
