Malone looked enviously at Stockton and Ostertag, who temporarily put on their jerseys to receive their championship rings. Magic players Raheem, Liu Mang, Jason Terry and coach Kruger went to give them to him.

Raheem presented a championship ring.

McGrady and the five new rookies were all sitting on the bench, envious of their teammates who won the championship last season.

The Magic team was also very envious when they saw this scene, especially for an older Jordan successor who finally miraculously recovered after four consecutive years of reimbursement.

For the game against the Magic, an hour and a half before the game started, various activities had already started at the stadium, including lottery draws for season tickets, gifts of Hawks merchandise from the Rogue League, opportunities for photos and autographs with stars...

At six o'clock, one hour before the start of the game, championship rings began to be awarded.

Liu Mang was the first one to wear a championship ring. He was the first one. He had no other choice because he was the boss of the team.

NBA championship rings. Each NBA championship ring requires manual labor of 75 to 100 people, and each production process takes an average of about 10 weeks. The price of each championship ring is about 5

The team has a total of more than 30 championship rings, ranging from US$10,000 to US$100,000. Judging from the players' salaries, they may not be considered very precious, but this cannot be measured by price.

Championship rings, whether the members of the championship team are the main players, substitutes, coaches, team doctors, or trainers, as long as they are registered employees of the club, everyone has a share.

The championship rings of players, coaches, and owners must have their names on them, but not necessarily those of others. However, because it was the Hawks' first championship after moving to Atlanta, even the trainer's championship ring was engraved with it.

Got the name.

After getting the ring, Liu Mang carefully studied whether it was a real diamond. He counted it and found that there were 15 diamonds in total, surrounded by a small platinum frame and surrounded by an O'Brien Cup figure and the ring's ring.

The name of the Eagles was written on one side, and the names of the players were written on the other side. When Liu Mang looked carefully, he discovered a little "secret". There were very, very small words next to the small platinum frame next to each diamond. He took a closer look.

, seems to be the names of the 15 players who played in the team until the end last season!

This is really thoughtful! Liu Mang couldn't help but kiss the 15 diamonds clustered in a circle.

After Liu Mang put a championship ring on his index finger, Rahim took the microphone given by the host: "Thank you very much to the team, thank you very much for coming back here when I am already a player of another team.

, I can still hear your cheers. Last season, we were the strongest lineup in NBA history. No one is better than us. However, starting today, we are no longer a team. We are

opponent……"

Yesterday afternoon Liu Mang and Jason Terry went to get together with Raheem. They didn't talk about the team or basketball. They talked about how Raheem was doing in Orlando and how his maximum salary was extended.

Are you happy about dating or not...

What Jason Terry and Raheem talked more about was the difference in nightclubs in the two places...

Rahim had tears in his eyes when he said these words. From the moment he gets the championship ring, from a player perspective, it will be difficult for him to have anything to do with the Eagles.

Maybe one day, Raheem will finish his big contract, return to the Hawks to sign a one-game contract before retiring, and then retire, relying on several All-Stars, a rebounding champion and the All-NBA team, first defense, and most importantly, 16

The championship with 1 win and 1 loss has the opportunity to retire the jersey of the Eagles, a team with a less than glorious team history. However, while there is still strength, Rahim will not come back. For this reason, give the ring to Rahim.

After putting it on, Liu Mang was already very clear about it.

After the championship rings were distributed, Liu Mang, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Raheem, the four from last season plus Jason Terry, Stockton, Muhammad, and Kay

Vin Willis, Korver, Calderon, and Kwame Brown, who replaced Ratliff, together, ten people opened their palms, turned their backs to the camera, and put the ring on their finger.

Come out, the cameraman wants to take pictures.

When the photo was taken, Liu Mang looked at the scene of his teammates collectively wearing rings. When he saw a certain man with small hands, he couldn't help but said: "Wow, Kwame, your hands are even smaller than Jason's."

ah!"

Kwame Brown felt like he was being punched in the chest, and it was the boss’s vicious blow!

More than once, he heard shooting coach Chip Englund say that his small hands were not conducive to shooting and secondary attacks, and asked him to choose direct dunks or direct tip-ins. Don't take the ball off, as it would be easy to steal.

Kwame Brown was already frustrated, but he finally developed a pie-eating style of play. Liu Mang, Calderon, Tracy McGrady, Iguodala, and Rasheed Wallace could lob the ball to him and directly lob it.

, he almost forgot about this matter, and now the boss is here to punch the scar away!

Kwame Brown feels out of place with his teammates because of his small hands...

…

"Grant, why don't you come and play on our team after your contract ends, and we can win the championship together."

"Wow, that will have to wait for many years. I may be in a wheelchair by then."

"Well, Grant, you have to believe in modern medicine. Medical science is still very reliable now. I think you are good now. Let's bet a hundred dollars that you can play 60 games this year even if you take a break."

"Haha, if I really play 60 games, I will treat you to dinner!"

When the final championship flag is raised, the pre-match activities are over, the staff remove the props, and both sides begin the final warm-up or chat with the opponents. The players' families and friends can come up and take photos before the game begins.

Liu Mang said hello to the returning Grant Hill. As an old senior, as a junior, you should show off your championship ring. How could a player as good as Hill not hook up in advance?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Grant Hill came back during the preseason. It was a miracle that he recovered from his injury, but there is still a risk of recurrence, so the Magic announced

Hill won't play back-to-backs, but he can already play in the NBA.

Liu Mang remembers that this was the year that Hill's body began to recover. Of course, it was also the year that he began to transform from a star to a role player.

Liu Mang and Grant Hill chatted for a while, and then the little Loli ran over.

"Uncle, ring, ring!" The little loli wanted to grab something again.

But this time, Liu Mang did not agree: "Uncle really wants to keep this ring for himself."

"Well..." The little Lolita saw that Liu Mang was so serious about these trophies for the first time. She was as smart as a little Lolita, so she immediately understood that this ring was of great significance. She was almost 10 years old, so she could probably understand the concept of friendship.

thing, so he lost: "Then uncle gave the ring to Dinah, and Dinah held it for the uncle."

"I want to show off to your classmates! Here you go, be careful not to lose it, it's a real diamond! This ring costs tens of thousands!" Liu Mang emphasized.

Seeing the little Loli running off to show off after getting the ring, Liu Mang really didn't know what to say to such a kid who has reached the age of showing off... In short, appearance is justice.

But there was one thing Liu Mang was upset about today. The other nine girlfriends or wives of his teammates from last season all came up to take a group photo. Only Levia and Alexia refused to come. They all wanted to be famous.

These two girls don't want to be famous.

Liu Mang had no choice but to shoot the ball to warm up his hands for the game.

However, there was one scene that made Liu Mang feel weird. Josh Smith and the opposing No. 1 pick, Dwight Howard, were arm-in-arm talking about something!

Looking at Howard's hearty smiling face, this guy is so happy!

After the two of them finished chatting, Liu Mang called Josh Smith over: "Josh, are you familiar with that high school student?"

"Of course, boss, Dwight and I were high school teammates!" Josh Smith replied, "What's wrong? Boss, don't you like Dwight? He is a good man, he has a great personality, look, who does he like?

They all have smiling faces.”

"Uh, I forgot that you are also a high school student." Liu Mang just remembered this, and he asked why Josh Smith would be laid off by the Pistons in the future, and immediately went to substitute for Howard, "It's okay, I

Just curious..."

Yes, Happy Beast, how could he not like to laugh?

A guy like Rahim who could not take a break for the first six years of his career. He maintained excellent health. In his early years, he was called a hero of the 1996 generation. Originally, he stopped playing in his thirties because he lost too many basketball games.

I have lost my love, but now I maintain my love. It is not certain that I can still play well until the last year of my seven-year contract. Will I still be playing for the Magic when I am in my early thirties?

With Raheem and Howard, it will be a bit tricky in three or four years!

However, Liu Mang was also very happy that Rahim could find a good partner.

…

It was almost seven o'clock, and the referee signaled those who should leave the field to leave, and the game was about to begin.

The arena staff came up to clean the floor, everything was ready, and the referee signaled the players to come on.

After more than five months of non-compliance, Prince once again danced in the square. The scene immediately erupted in cheers, and a large number of fans danced with him. Even the council members of the city hall expressed their concern that Atlanta has been included in the "intangible cultural protection" list.

He also dabbled in the "NBA court dance" of "The Case" and started dancing along with it.

Liu Mang understands this very well. In China, this stuff is not taken seriously, and young people dislike it. It was fine when it first came out, but now the Korean Wave has taken over the lives of young people. On the contrary, here in Atlanta, it has taken over the lives of young people.

This stuff will soon be included in the city’s protection provisions.

He accidentally created a "history", but Liu Mang wanted to die. It is estimated that for many years to come, when square dancing is mentioned, Liu Mang will be mentioned.

Kwame Brown grabbed some magnesium powder and went to the other side of the court. He clapped his hands to let the powder scatter. As the fans cheered, the lights turned off and the terrifying face of Rasheed Wallace appeared.

On the big screen, there was a roar, and the whole place started to resemble a riot!

After discussing with McGrady whether to have an opening move, which McGrady's quiet personality didn't like, Liu Mang no longer designs moves for new teammates. Teammates come and go, unless they have known each other for a long time like McGrady, which was not the case before.

A friend who will not be too sad even if the team changes. New teammates, who knows who will leave one day, will no longer invest so much emotion.

After Liu Mang applied the magnesium powder, he grabbed a handful and sprinkled it in the air, then came on stage!

…

The Eagles sent out a lineup of Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.

Liu Mang looked at the Magic's Jameer Nelson, whose ability evaluation is 69, Cardinal Mobley, whose ability evaluation is 81, Grant Hill, whose ability evaluation is 85, Raheem, whose ability evaluation is 93, and Dwight-

Howard, ability evaluation 75.

There is also Turkoglu who has the ability to rate 84 on the bench. This year's Magic team is very good!

Even if Rahim is replaced by Francis, it will be very good. It seems that the Magic will win nearly 20 more games this season than last season.

Why does Liu Mang remember it so clearly? Because this was McGrady's original big scandal. As soon as he left, the Magic would be able to compete for the playoff position.
