"Ace, there's something wrong with the team." McGrady said sitting next to Liu Mang.

After playing against the Nuggets, the Hawks immediately set off back to Atlanta early the next morning. In the afternoon, they would hold a press conference to announce Mourning's joining. You must give enough face to the veteran. This time Mourning communicated.

It took a while to reach a verbal commitment to join. If this time is handled well, it will be easier to attract other veterans to join in the future. Which veteran doesn't want to win the championship at the end of his career?

I'm looking forward to joining a championship-level team.

But now there is still a big or small problem before the two core players Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady. McGrady knows the impact of trade shock very well. He used to be the core of the Magic for four years. For a team like the Magic, trade shock every time

It happens every season, and not just once or twice. McGrady knows that this matter will take time to smooth over the players' uneasiness, but he is still a little anxious. He has not won the first place in the league yet. If he suffers a few more games, maybe he will

The opportunity was lost. Both the Pistons and Suns had very good records this season.

"I know, but the transaction just happened, so this is inevitable," Liu Mang responded casually, "It doesn't matter, it will be fine soon."

"You should say something to your teammates to strengthen their confidence." McGrady said dissatisfiedly when he saw Liu Mang's indifference.

"Yes, yes, I know..." Liu Mang felt that Mai Mama really worried too much, but he suddenly reacted and asked doubtfully: "Wait a minute, let me talk about this, what about you Tracy?

"

McGrady leaned back in his chair and responded: "I'm the younger brother! I'm Pippen, not Jordan. You are the one. You are responsible for educating your teammates. Yes, that's it."

"..." Liu Mang was speechless when he saw that McGrady was worrying so much and seemed to find it troublesome: Who is this person?

…

After Liu Mang returned to Atlanta with the team, he first went home and met with Dinah, Alexia and Levia during the vacation, and then went to Kwame Brown to make an appointment with Mourning.

restaurant, had lunch with Mourning, Kwame Brown, Tracy McGrady, Rasheed Wallace, Jason Terry, Prince, and Iguodala, the six best teammates, all

go together.

Liu Mang was led by the waiter to the innermost seat on the second floor of the restaurant. When he saw that everyone he had made an appointment with had arrived, he quickly apologized: "Sorry, Alonzo, I'm late..."

When Liu Mang arrived at the restaurant, Mourning, Tracy McGrady and Rasheed Wallace, two more familiar new teammates who entered the NBA in the mid-1990s, were already chatting lively.

Most Americans are familiar with it, even Kwame Brown. Except for the two years when Jordan scolded him and made him doubt his life, he was also a cheerful person under normal circumstances. He was just a high school graduate when he entered the NBA.

He had never experienced the mini version of society in college. He went directly to the world where adults pursue utilitarianism, and his character was suppressed. Moreover, in the original time and space, he first met Jordan and then Kobe, and his end was naturally miserable.

But Kwame Brown is very different from ordinary muscular men. He is not even particularly good among the top picks in parallel imports. He is countless times better than Anthony Bennett and much better than sugar man Olowokandi.

Many, at the age of 30, can still get 8 million US dollars in contracts with the Bucks and Warriors. According to the rotation players, they have done well, but their performance is not worthy of the No. 1 pick, or it is lower than expected. The main thing is

He was selected by Jordan, and the "aura" of parallel imports is much brighter than ordinary ones.

"Haha, Ace, it's not that you're late. We made an appointment at 12 o'clock, and it's only 11:30 now. It's because we're early." Mo Ning came up and hugged Liu Mang.

He is still so cheerful. Although the first impression of a handsome person is good, a rough man like Mourning with thick eyebrows, square face and big nose is more likely to leave a deep impression on others, especially his cheerful character.

.

After a hug, the two sat down.

"How about it, Alonzo, how do you feel about coming to Atlanta and winning the championship?" Liu Mang joked.

"Wow, Ace, you are as confident as you were when we first met three years ago... No, you are proud." Mourning said with a smile.

"Of course, we were the strongest originally, but now with you, we will be even stronger! Let's kill O'Neal together!"

Liu Mang and his teammates often come to this store. The waiter knows what Liu Mang likes to drink. After pouring Liu Mang a fifth of a glass of white wine, Liu Mang raised his glass and gave a toast to Mourning first.

Everyone knows that Mourning can't drink now, so he drinks juice. Hearing Liu Mang's words, he raised his glass and said: "Haha, let's kill O'Neal together! He has long been disliked!"

If it weren't for the fact that the Eastern Conference couldn't find any other way out, and his old club Miami happened to be the favorite to win the championship, Mourning would never consider embracing O'Neal.

Liu Mang is considered a very cheerful character among Chinese people. After becoming teammates with Mourning, they quickly chatted together, mainly because they had a common topic, which was to train Kwame Brown to deal with O'Neal.

Of course, this is because of strength, otherwise no matter how good the character is, it will be useless. Liu Mang understands this very well...

Just when we were chatting happily, another surprise happened...

A waiter was about to come up to pour juice for Moning. Liu Mang stood up and bumped into the waiter. The mouth of the juice bottle was facing Liu Mang, and Liu Mang was sprayed in the face...

The six old teammates plus Mourning immediately moved several meters away from Liu Mang and all fled.

Seeing Mourning's neat reaction, Liu Mang knew that damn Mai Mama was acting like a jerk in front of his new teammates again!

I'm not the god of plague, I'm just unlucky these days! Why are you traveling so far!

…

…

After lunch, Liu Mang and others came to Phillips Arena with Mourning. They didn't drink too much at noon, they just drank and ate something casually so as not to delay the three o'clock press conference.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Mourning and Walter McCarty joined the Eagles, mainly because of Mourning. Although McCarty has only played in his ninth season, he has reached the end of his career.

He has one year left on his veteran's minimum salary contract of 1.02 million, and he is expected to retire after playing. Compared to Mourning, McCarty is the one who has the upper hand, and the kind that he never expected to be able to have the upper hand.

Although Mourning's joining was not as dramatic as when Malone joined the Lakers last season, the Hawks were originally the defending champions, but their interior defense has declined since they lost Raheem and Ratliff.

Mourning's defensive performance is still phenomenal after his comeback this season. He can still have a very good defensive performance after playing more than 20 minutes in each game. Although he cannot compare with Ratliff who was at his peak two years ago, he

There is no need to hold up the basket like Ratliff. Kwame Brown has grown up. What the Hawks need more is the defensive experience brought by Mourning. Of course, his defensive ability is the most important inside ability.

, Josh Smith and Varejao are still of little use.

The addition of Mourning will greatly make up for the shortcomings of the Hawks' young center position. Moreover, it mainly takes away Mourning, who was originally considered to have a high probability of joining the Heat, and robs potential reinforcements of direct competitors in the East.

The object was regarded as a perfect operation by the media and fans.

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the press conference was held on time. Boss Price gave Mourning his No. 33 jersey and Walter McCarty his No. 40 jersey. Mourning and McCarty officially joined the Eagles.

.

"I think I still have a lot of gas in the tank. I will make some noise with this group of young people. Our young people are so good. I think this is the best lineup I have ever been a part of. We are on the top

We have already won the championship this season, and we can still do it this year..."

Mourning showed strong confidence during the press conference and his joy at joining a championship team.

Finally, Mourning said specifically: "We have Kwame, the best center in the Eastern Conference. I want to work with him and Rasheed, we will be the best inside combination in the Eastern Conference..."

The top student in high school next to him, who was very happy to have a teacher with a normal personality, almost sat down on the ground.

No! Brother Alonzo, if we have something to say, we can say no!

…

The Christmas game is about to take place. The Hawks’ opponent in the Christmas game this season is still the Nets. They have had their grudges for three consecutive years. In addition, Carter still leads the Nets to secure the Eastern Conference position despite Kidd’s continuous injuries this season.

Third, the strength should not be underestimated. The Nets have never been a regular season team.

Whether it's the battle between cousins, the battle for Jordan's successor, or the grudges in the Eastern Conference Finals for three consecutive years, this Christmas war is full of highlights.

However, for the Eagles, although Mourning's joining has excited fans and silenced many teams in the league, the unrest within the Eagles has not diminished.

After Mourning officially joins, it seems that Josh Smith and Varejao will have fewer opportunities.

And the fact is that Mourning will probably get ten to twenty minutes of playing time. Varejao will not have many playing opportunities, and Josh Smith and Muhammad will lose a few minutes.

On the other hand, Muhammad, who has a good mentality, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown, don't care so much about this kind of thing, and care more about substitutes.

And it’s not just the inside line that is affected, the outside line is also affected, because there are two outside teammates, and the other outside players are not perfect players, not even perfect. They all have many shortcomings, and they are afraid that the management will take them away.

I gave up. There is still a big difference between playing for the Eagles and playing for other teams. They have been playing for two months. Some of their high school and college friends have gone to other teams and their lives are not as good as theirs.

If you are happy with the Eagles, even if you are the main player, most of them are not as happy as they are.

Winning is the purpose of playing basketball. If not for winning, why play basketball? Money is very important, but they are already millionaires when they enter the NBA, and more psychological pursuits are needed.

Liu Mang went home and thought about it all night. He called Coach Kruger, Tracy McGrady, Stockton, Malone, and Rasheed Wallace. He thought about it carefully and sent a text message to his teammates in the middle of the night.

, there will be a players meeting tomorrow morning.

…

On December 25th, Christmas Day, it was also the last day of Liu Mang’s unlucky day. Liu Mang checked that there was oil in the fuel tank. Yesterday, the red Lamborghini was also checked by the auto repairman. There was no problem, and then he let it go early in the morning.

Levia, who looked unhappy after being woken up at seven o'clock, drove him to the arena.

Even the safe family planning tools can be exposed when applauding for love. Levia, who does not want to have another child so early, is speechless.

Alexia, on the other hand, has recently stopped using family planning tools. She has started preparing for pregnancy after returning to Atlanta from a trip to China. Taking advantage of the fact that Dinah is in fourth grade and does not need special extra care at school,

In terms of security, she was protected by the rough-looking Christine Wagner, who was enough to scare petty thieves. After the end of last semester, Alexia felt that she was ready to have a child.

As for getting married... Americans are getting married, falling in love, and having children are two different things...

After Liu Mang arrived at the arena, unlucky things continued one after another. The railings in the parking lot broke down. When Liu Mang arrived at the training ground, the window was smashed by a football from nowhere last night. This football desert in the United States is so fucking crazy.

Someone was playing football on the side of the road...Liu Mang could only practice shooting in the cold wind, even though the air conditioner was repaired, it was of no use.

At half past eight, teammates came one after another. Liu Mang went to take a shower. All his teammates arrived and came to the conference room together.

Coach Kruger also came to work at eight o'clock, but he didn't interfere with the players' meetings. He was very relieved about Liu Mang. As long as Liu Mang didn't instigate the team to cause trouble, anything would be fine.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Coach Kruger wants to kick Liu Mang to death just because he is causing trouble.
