Duncan accepted Liu Mang's invitation. Many of his teammates had already left, but Duncan watched the award ceremony on the sidelines. After Liu Mang said those shocking words, Duncan was frightened!

What kind of courage and arrogance is this?

Even words of confidence cannot describe what Liu Mang just said.

After the award ceremony, Liu Mang walked next to Duncan. Duncan didn't know why Liu Mang asked him to watch the award ceremony. It's not like he had never received one before. They were both members of the Double Club. Could it be that he was a new member of Double Club?

Want to have a drink together at the club?

Duncan feels this is feasible.

As for the championship being robbed by the opponent... Duncan feels that he is still young, so he will just do it next time. Jordan came back at the age of 33 and won three consecutive championships again.

Since his first year in the NBA in 1997, Duncan discovered that the NBA game is so simple. After playing casually for a while, he raised his expectations to the same level as Jordan and Magic.

Seeing Liu Mang walking towards him, Duncan originally wanted to say congratulations.

But Liu Mang patted Duncan on the shoulder and said: "Tim, I'm sorry, you are old, the future is mine!"

As soon as Duncan opened his mouth, a sentence was stuck in his throat!

Isn't this... what he originally said to Liu Mang after he was ready to win the third championship?

Throughout the finals, no matter whether he lost or won, even though he was dunked twice by Josh Smith and once by Kwame Brown, and became the background three times, Duncan did not have much emotional fluctuations, but at this moment,

He finally had a mood swing and stared at Liu Mang with wide eyes.

This bastard is trying to steal my pretense from my brother!

I wonder if I have been thinking about this sentence for many years?

I followed Liu Mang to Duncan, preparing to interview the second and third active players who won and lost the championship. Unexpectedly, I heard Liu Mang say these words!

This is simply too much pride!

The number one active player is undoubtedly O'Neal.

The second and third people...are Duncan and Liu Mang. After Liu Mang won two consecutive championships, the number of championships and FMVPs tied with Duncan's. Now O'Neal is starting to age and lose his courage. In terms of honors,

Look, the second player in the league is basically competing between Duncan and Liu Mang. If either of them wins the third championship, they have a chance to surpass O'Neal's title of active honorary first player. At this stage, Duncan is still far away.

The person who is ahead of Liu Mang has played eight seasons and eight times in the first team. That is to say, he has been the league's leading forward in his entire career so far. He also has five first defenses and three second defenses. Liu Mang still has personal honors in a short period of time.

It's hard to beat Duncan.

But the two have already formed a competition. O'Neal is firmly in the top ten in history, while Liu Mang and Duncan are competing to become another top ten goalkeeper in history.

Liu Mang's words were undoubtedly a direct challenge to Duncan!

The reporters were waiting for Duncan to respond to Liu Mang's words, but Duncan, after being stunned for a few seconds, looked at Liu Mang, showed a "warm and innocent" smile, and kept laughing...

Liu Mang and the reporters, the stunned Ginobili who had not yet left, and other members of the Hawks team were all frightened by Duncan's "innocent" smile. Their first reaction was to ask the referee to call this guy

The penalty was thrown out, but when I thought about it, the game was over and no one could stop this guy's smile...

"Ding...Characteristics: Stubbornness is triggered at level 5. After becoming the most powerful forward in history, his stubborn nature is released, his mentality becomes more peaceful, he is better at accepting changes in the way he plays, and he is full of expectations and fighting spirit for future challenges.

, God is more likely to affect the opponent's mentality, from Tim Duncan."

Damn it! Liu Mang didn't expect that his words would turn Duncan into old naughty boy mode!

…

"Ding... The second phase of the mission of King's Landing: The consecutive championship has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 1 advanced power fruit. The third phase of the mission of King's Landing series is waiting for the start of the new season."

"Ding... The branch mission of King's Landing: The Future is Mine has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Tim Duncan skill card: Master of mid-range rebound shooting."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing two consecutive championships. The reward is superstar value:."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing two consecutive championships, becoming a top ten player in NBA history in people's minds, and gaining rogue points..."

"Ding……"

"Ding……"

"..."

"..."

…

After returning to the dressing room and opening the system panel, Liu Mang looked at a long list of system prompts and made a fortune!

The most surprising thing is that I got Dee Duncan’s rebound shooting skills!

This will be of greater help to Liu Mang in further developing CIC!

After returning to the locker room, the Eagles continued to celebrate wildly, with beer and champagne spraying all over the sky. Liu Mang looked at the system panel and laughed for a while, then joined his teammates in the carnival...

…

…

On June 20, Liu Mang received a call from Coach Kruger. Coach Kruger asked him to watch the rookie training. There was only one week left, and the draft would be on June 27.

It has been a week since the championship, the team's season-ending celebration banquet, the Eagles' championship parade, various interviews, taking advantage of the heat to promote drinks, sneakers, fast food brands, etc... Liu Mang has been busy for a whole week.

And after finishing these things, there are other things.

The team's draft trials have begun. The Eagles have the 30th overall pick and the third overall pick in the second round. There are many rookies interested in joining the Eagles.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Relatively speaking, teams with lottery picks only have about 20 or 30 people participating in trial training, not too many, because most of the rookies participate in the draft

I don't even consider that I will be selected in the lottery.

Teams with picks between the 15th and 20th picks have the largest number of people in trials. Many people want to fight for this pick and have the opportunity to fight for it. Even those who are predicted to be in the second round still have a chance to be selected at this position.

The second largest number of players is between the 21st pick and the top five picks in the second round. The players selected in this range all have similar salaries, and the chance of being upset is also very high.

There will also be potential trades of draft picks by the Hawks. After the finals, various trade rumors broke out immediately.

Korver, Calderon, Kwame Brown, and McGrady are the four players whose contracts have expired. The first three are restricted free agents, and McGrady is an unrestricted free agent.

On McGrady's side, the fans want him to stay with the team. Moreover, McGrady has the same agent as Liu Mang. After McGrady won the championship, he was very satisfied with the team and is almost certain to stay on the team.

Korver, Calderon, and Kwame Brown have all received qualifying offers and are negotiating new contracts.

However, many teams have already publicly issued trade applications to the Hawks, but the restricted free agent quotations have not yet started. This will have to wait until the free market opens, and the Hawks will probably not let them go easily, so if they want to get these three

Most teams that have expired players use offer transactions as a way to obtain them.

However, the Eagles are not easily impressed by the three players they have managed to cultivate, and have no plans to trade them for the time being.

After the season, both Persson and McCarty announced their retirement, leaving two positions vacant for the Hawks. Mourning still doesn't know whether he will choose to renew his contract or go to other teams to get a pension contract and recruit new personnel.

He is in a state of deficiency and will not cut off his arm at this time.

There was no way to make a large-scale trade after winning the championship last year. If Raheem left, it would affect the whole body. Adjustments had to be made and the team's style of play changed. But now, the team's new style of play has been adjusted.

After one year, they finally got along well, and the Eagles' management and coaching staff focused on strengthening the team.

Of course, the reinforcement plan will probably have to wait until the free market opens. At this stage, the draft is the focus.

The rise of the Eagles is basically due to the rookie bonus, which allowed them to gather so many stars and taste the sweetness. With a player like Liu Mang who has a vision and the "scouting ability" of his agency, the Eagles management must of course do a good job.

Take advantage of this bonus.

In addition to the trade rumors flying all over the league, of course it's not just about the Hawks. The Hawks won two consecutive championships, and many rumors came out. Just like the Lakers' three consecutive championships, there were major changes in the league every year. Duncan in 2000

Almost left the Spurs.

However, what has been discussed the most online is not the trade rumors, but Liu Mang's bold statement that he wants to win three consecutive championships, and his two remarks of patting Duncan and saying "the future is mine."

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Liu Mang’s big words and nonsense are all just.

…

After a busy week, Liu Mang was called to the arena before he had time to rest, but he did not refuse. The end of the finals means that a new season has begun. This is his team, and there are many things.

His role is very important, such as the upcoming draft, which is related to the long-term plan for the future.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Liu Mang happened to run into Tracy McGrady, who came to the arena with Schwartz.

"Hey, Jeff, Tracy, are you guys here to watch the players try out too?" Liu Mang greeted.

"That's not the case. It just so happens that I have something to ask you about Ace. Jeff, you go talk to them first. I'll leave it to you. I have something I want to talk to Ace about." Maddie pushed Schwartz away.

.

Schwartz responded and left first.

Liu Mang was very surprised. Why couldn't he see someone else? He had to tell people behind their backs?

After Schwartz left, McGrady looked around and said to Liu Mang: "Ace, do you know why I haven't renewed my contract after so long after the season ended?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Tracy, you will definitely renew your contract, right?" Liu Mang responded with a smile.

Seeing Liu Mang's worried expression, Maddie smiled bitterly and said, "You're right, I was just frightened. I was frightened for a week, but now I finally recovered."
