"Ace, don't you have any wine at home?" Iverson asked.

Watching the Lakers vs. Heat game on TV, Liu Mang said strangely: "Yes, you want to drink? There is a game tomorrow!"

"What does that have to do with it," Iverson responded nonchalantly, and then lowered his voice and said, "I found a great store yesterday, Ace, do you want to go with me?"

"...I want to hold my daughter to sleep at night, so I won't go," Liu Mang refused simply, while someone was walking around behind him pretending to be looking for something.

"You paranoiacs are really boring. I don't know how Tracy can have such a good relationship with people like you. By the way, where is the wine? Do you have whiskey?" Iverson looked down upon him and continued to ask for wine.

"Yes, Levia, help Allen get a bottle of whiskey." Liu Mang said to Levia behind him.

"Okay, Ace, you can't drink." Levia gave Liu Mang face when outsiders were around, but she still told him.

"Yes, yes, I know."

After hearing this, Levia was satisfied and went to the warehouse on the second floor to get a bottle of whiskey and a whiskey glass. She also got Liu Mang a soda and a water glass.

You can no longer drink alcohol, but you can still indulge in soda, at least it will be fizzy.

"Then I'll drink it myself. Is there anything to drink with it?" Iverson really didn't regard himself as an outsider.

"Wait a minute, Allen, I'll get it right away." Levia went to take out the snacks that Liu Mang's father usually used when he had a drink or two.

Liu Mang looked at Iverson eating snacks and drinking like that. He felt that it was a waste of talent, and this was considered one!

However, talented people are often like this. Those who are talented, have self-discipline, and can tolerate grass are all superstars of the era. Jordan, Kobe and the future James are all like this.

Iverson has a talent that is not inferior to Kobe's, and he is resistant to grass. He is now 30 years old. Liu Mang looked at Iverson's ability evaluation, and it was actually as high as 96. With some changes in the rules, Iverson actually last season

He achieved the best efficiency of his career, but the team's record was mediocre and the role players were much worse than they were during the Larry Brown era.

But in terms of self-discipline, even if Iverson changed his style of play on the court, it would still be the same off the court.

Drink when you should, eat when you should, and play when you should. There are a lot of brothers and there is no self-discipline at all.

But just like that, the 30-year-old Iverson is still a superstar, and Liu Mang remembers that in the original time and space, Iverson was abandoned by the Nuggets after 2008, went to the Pistons and was squeezed out, and then fell from the top.

At that time, he was already 33, averaging 17 3 5 per game, and was selected as an All-Star.

His ability surpassed Raheem, Marbury, Camby and others to become the number one pick of the 1996 golden generation. This talent is really beyond words.

Iverson's talent, except for his height, is definitely the best among the best. Even if his talent is a little bit worse, even if he has super-top talent, with Iverson's training attitude and attitude towards life, he would have collapsed a long time ago. He is also the No. 1 pick.

Big dog, the talent is far inferior to that of Iverson.

But Iverson just has talent and can be willful.

The day before Iverson's game against the Hawks, the first game of the NBA 2005-2006 regular season when the Lakers challenged the Heat away from home, he bought several gifts for Liu Mang's parents and their newborn baby.

My child, I came here specifically to say hello.

Iverson was too humane. From a non-basketball perspective, Liu Mang really liked a friend like Iverson, but as a basketball person, I really felt that Iverson was too undisciplined.

But he was already 30 years old, and he had changed his style of play so much that he had reached the limit. Liu Mang didn't say anything to dissuade him. After all, he was considered a player of the later generation.

Liu Mang and Iverson were chatting about some trivial matters while watching the game between the Lakers and the Heat.

The league also attaches great importance to this game. On the 27th, it only arranged this game.

The game was very interesting to watch. The Lakers were at a disadvantage, probably because of their grief and anger after being reversed by the Hawks in the last game of the preseason. The Heat played more energetically than the Lakers.

The duel between Yao Ming and O'Neal was evenly matched, with the little blacksmith who was the best at passing the ball to the center. Yao Ming faced off against O'Neal, who was at his peak and played very hard. He scored 35 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks in the game, blocking O'Neal twice.

O'Neal scored 22 points, 19 rebounds and 2 blocks, giving the little blacksmith a big shot.

In fact, Wade did not have an advantage against Kobe, and was suppressed by Kobe. Kobe, who has entered his true peak, even when Wade was at his peak, he could only compete with Kobe who was also at his peak. Wade got it

With 27 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Kobe also scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and a head-on steal from Wade.

But the Heat took the lead at an unexpected point, and the point guard position was completely blown away. Whether it was Jason Williams or Payton, the Lakers signed former Pistons point guard Smush Parker.

Exploded.

The Lakers failed to pursue a point guard in the summer. There were too few free agent point guards in the past offseason. Payton was unwilling to go back and partner with Kobe Bryant. Jason Williams was also interested in the Lakers, but the Lakers

The team had doubts about this point guard who was famous for his reputation in the Western Conference. At this time, the Heat gave a big contract. Jason Williams went to Miami without hesitation. He graduated from the University of Florida and was very interested in Miami.

There was already a sense of belonging.

Parker became a free agent, but the Spurs had to keep him with tens of millions of annual salary. Most free agent point guards, including Liu Mang and Kidd, signed new contracts in the summers of 2003 and 2004. The Lakers missed out.

He got Jason Williams, and now he's been beaten by Jason Williams.

With Jason Williams hitting three three-pointers and scoring a total of 14 points and 10 assists, the Heat defeated the Lakers 103-98.

The Heat got off to a good start relying on the protection of their point guard and rebounds.

The game was great to watch. After Liu Mang and Iverson watched the game, Liu Mang called the car rental company in the villa area. Iverson teased Liu Mang a few words and took a car to a nightclub to have fun. His group followed him to Atlanta.

My "brother" has been waiting for him to pay the bill for a long time.

"Boss Ace, you're here. These are the gifts I bought for your son and daughter." Iguodala saw Liu Mang coming to the locker room, took the gift box out of the closet and handed it to Liu Mang.

"Oh, thank you." Liu Mang accepted it without refusing.

Iguodala took the lead, and other Hawks teammates who had not yet visited Liu Mang's home took out their gifts.

Liu Mang never took his children out of the house. Doctors always came to check at home. Except for Tracy McGrady, Rasheed Wallace, and Jason Terry, the three brothers who often visited Liu Mang's house, no one else had visited Liu Mang's house these days.

I have never been to Liu Mang’s house, but I have been choosing gifts for a few days, and today we all come together to give gifts to Liu Mang.

The ratings for the opening game between the Lakers and the Heat were indeed off the charts. Last season's opening game between the Lakers and the Heat set a new record in NBA history. This year it set a new record again, giving the new NBA season a good start.

The season has officially kicked off, and the Eagles' regular season will also begin on October 28th.

After chatting with Iverson for two or three hours last night, Liu Mang took a shower and went to bed early after watching the game. He got up early in the morning and ran with Dinah, who was used to getting up early and was gradually developing from a lolita to a lolita girl.

, after eating the breakfast cooked by Liu Mang’s mother, he sent the little Loli to school first, and then went to the arena to prepare for the evening game.

Liu Mang's mother specially learned how to make the low-fat healthy food that professional athletes eat, and she was very thoughtful.

When Liu Mang arrived at the arena at around eight o'clock, many teammates had already arrived. Under the leadership of Iguodala, they gave gifts one after another. Even two rookies, David Lee and Granger, had not yet won the first place.

He even borrowed money to buy gifts despite his salary. Liu Mang was still a little touched.

Everyone is very motivated and looking forward to the new season, especially the young players.

I have been fully prepared for the 76ers' tactical training in the past two days, and I am just waiting for the game in the evening.

Liu Mang and Iguodala carried the dozen or so gifts they received to the car together. As soon as they returned to the training ground and were ready to warm up and start training, Stockton came and called Liu Mang away.

"John, what's the matter?" Liu Mang followed Stockton to the boss's office and asked strangely. The team should be fine. The lineup is neat and the tactics maintain most of last season's style.

Injury is not a contradiction.

"It's a good thing, you'll know it when you see it." Stockton was careless and gave it away, showing a rather strange and mysterious smile.

Confused, Liu Mang followed Stockton to the boss's office, where Price and Coach Kruger were chatting with league officials.

When Liu Mang entered his boss's office, the first thing he saw was the championship banner on his desk.

"Ace, you're here, look, what is this!" Price came up and patted Liu Mang on the shoulder.

This... at the beginning of tonight's game, there was a ceremony to raise the championship flag. This is a good thing, but it's not the first time. But what is so special about calling him here? He didn't do it last year either.

Call me!

Seeing Liu Mang's confusion, Price showed the same smile as Stockton: "Ace, you will know when you go over and take a look."

Liu Mang was still confused. When he walked to the desk, he saw that it was no different from last year's championship banner. It was just that the year had changed from 2003-2004 to 2004-2005. Most of the names of the players on it had changed, and many numbers were missing.

The old teammates from the first championship are just some new teammates from last season.

Liu Mang picked up the championship flag and wanted to see what was different. As soon as he lifted the flag, he suddenly saw something. When he opened it and took a look, he was stunned...

…

…

2005-2006 season, the Eagles' opening game.

Even if the Lakers are playing their Christmas game in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States and the largest entertainment city in the world, the opening game will be an away game, but for the Eagles, no matter how any other games are arranged, the opening game must be at home, because

They are the defending champions! They must raise the championship flag on the first day of the new season for the team.

This game was broadcast live in the United States by ESPN, T.N.T, Time Warner, American Cable TV, CBS, and ABC TV, the five largest sports TV stations in North America.

Over in China, the Chaoting Channel naturally broadcasts the Lakers and the Eagles' opening game in two simulcasts. It finished broadcasting the Lakers yesterday and continues to broadcast the Eagles today.

Compared to the Lakers, the Eagles receive more attention. From two hours before the game started, everyone was reviewing the Eagles' performance in the past two seasons. Of course, it was mainly Liu Mang's performance.

Liu Mang has already laid the foundation for the dynasty. Now comes the new season when he has the opportunity to establish a dynasty. The opening game is also the ceremony of raising the championship flag, so it is natural to promote it in the country.

The Hawks and the 76ers are considered friendly teams. There are not many boos when the visiting team players come out. Especially when Iverson comes out, there are some cheers.

Iverson is the most representative figure among black athletes in the United States. Even the superstars in the NFL cannot compare to Iverson in terms of popularity.

When the Eagles came on stage, the Eagles players clearly felt that Liu Mang was getting more and more excited.

Liu Mang has been extremely excited since the morning, and his teammates can all see it.
