"Ace, how long are you going to practice such boring things every day?" Emmanuel complained, "I think it's more fun for you to practice shooting. I can count how many goals you have scored."

"Come on, after training tomorrow morning, the morning after tomorrow, and the afternoon after tomorrow, the training session I planned will be over." Liu Mang responded.

Looking at Emmanuel's "baby has lost two ounces of weight from tiredness" look, Liu Mang couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, okay, when I finish practicing, I invite you to go to the nightclub. Do you want to pack it?"

Eat in, it's up to you."

Emmanuel was shocked: "Really? Ahem, Ace, I'm not tired, not at all. Do you want to practice for a while?"

Seeing Emmanuel's look, Liu Mang said speechlessly: "You should go back and rest first. I will go back after the physical therapy. See you at 7:30 tomorrow morning."

Emmanuel cheered, packed his things and left. Liu Mang went to take a shower first.

While taking a shower, Liu Mang looked at the progress of Gary Payton's defensive training card.

Fourteen and one-half training sessions have been completed, and there is one and a half training sessions left, which is 12 hours of training. The training is complete!

In addition to playing the Lakers on the 1st in January, Liu Mang will spend half a day training whenever he is free in the next 20 days. If the game is played at home, because the Eagles do not have back-to-back games at home this month, Liu Mang will directly practice on the rest day.

The whole day. Unfortunately, there are very few home games in the first twelve games this month. Liu Mang mostly practices for half a day on the morning of the game, or in the evening of the away game. If he has a good relationship with the home team's stars, he will borrow the gym to practice for four days in the evening.

Hours.

With all the time spent, the training session for this star card will be completed before you know it.

Liu Mang didn't know what effect bonuses he would get after the training session, but even without those bonuses, Liu Mang trained crazily on these seemingly boring things, but the results were already shown in the game.

There are many defensive actions that require consciousness, and Liu Mang often reacts subconsciously based on the situations simulated in training.

It's not always correct. Sometimes when defending against top players like Carter and Pierce, the opponent will take advantage of the inertia of this subconscious reaction, but when dealing with role players, it is so effective!

For solo defense, except for the few first-defense players every year, it must be the year they were selected for the first defense. It is actually difficult for others to individually defend superstars or even top stars. It is difficult to have a particularly big effect. It would be good to limit it a little.

, the reason why the first defense is a first defense, and it is a first defense selected by the coach, is because they are stronger defensively than the second defense and players who are not on the best defensive team, and they can have certain restrictions on top stars and even superstars.

Of course, this is just a limitation.

Good defense is aimed at first-class stars and the defensive effect of ordinary stars. For example, a star with an ability evaluation of 80-84 normally averages fifteen or six points per game. If you can limit them to two or three points per game, it is very successful.

Defensively, allowing your opponent to score below average is a successful contribution on the defensive end.

At this point, Liu Mang thought of the King of Jingdezhen, whose ability was rated 79 by the Laughing Mamba and got 50, and he was very convinced that his idea was correct.

After Liu Mang took a shower and had physical therapy, he drove back home.

Returning to Atlanta at noon today, Liu Mang went straight to the gym, checked out the upcoming schedule, and started training.

However, for this long season, Liu Mang thinks that days like this are quite interesting. Having a clear goal and knowing where to improve oneself is better than most people who are aimless and confused game after game at this time.

Players who play every game without knowing what to do are much better.

Most of these players are first- and second-year players. They want to improve themselves, but don’t know how to improve. They want to hone their skills but feel that training is too tiring. They want to become fat in one breath, and the rookie wall will follow.

.

Liu Mang has passed this stage. Now, even if there is any chance to improve himself, he will train like crazy to prevent his strength from stagnating before the peak period of physical and technical 26-29 years old.

To improve yourself, improve as much as possible.

…

"Uncle..."

As soon as Liu Mang parked the car and walked out of the garage, the little Loli who ran out when he heard the sound ran over and jumped into Liu Mang's arms.

Liu Mang quickly caught him and carried the little Loli to the door. When he got to the door, the little Loli came down. After celebrating the little Loli's 11th birthday in December last year, the little Loli rarely got together when there were people around.

He was in Liu Mang's arms, but he was still so clinging to Liu Mang when no one was around.

Little Loli took Liu Mang's hand and walked into the door.

"Ace, you're back. Go and wash up. It's time to have dinner later." Alexia came out wearing an apron and said, then went back to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner with Liu Mang's mother.

"Okay." Liu Mang responded.

I saw my father holding a cradle with one hand, and my baby girl was sleeping soundly in the cradle in his right hand. My father was watching the game between the Lakers and Bobcats, gritting his teeth while watching, and the TV was turned off.

, although Liu Mang's father gritted his teeth, he did not speak for fear of waking up the child.

Liu Mang looked at the newly purchased extra large LCD TV. It was bigger than the one at Kobe's house. The key was that in this huge picture, which looked like a small movie screen, the Lakers trailed the Bobcats by more than 20 points, 69 to 92. Liu Mang said silently in his heart.

Well deserved.

The Lakers' catphobia started when the Bobcats entered the NBA.

Liu Mang ran over and poked Avril's face with his finger. It was so tender. The little Loli also came up and poked the other side.

The two looked at each other, smiled, and continued poking.

Levia, who came down from upstairs with a bunch of red things, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw the behavior of Liu Mang and Little Loli.

"Ace, don't wake Avril up. Dinah, you too, why are you so naughty like your uncle? You are an adult now!" Levia complained.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh..." The little loli took back her hand regretfully, she was so tender and cute.

When Liu Mang heard this, he felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to argue, Levia came over and said, "Ace, get these things ready and stick them up. Christine and I bought a lot of things today, and we are both tired."

Damn it, I'm going to take a shower first."

Liu Mang stood up and took the pile of red things. He looked at them and found that there were lanterns, paper-cuts, and a bunch of things related to the New Year.

It is really not easy to buy these things in the United States...

Liu Mang thought about the Spring Festival game against the Spurs. When he was watching the schedule at noon, his attention was focused on the New Year game in the evening, and he forgot that the morning of that day happened to be New Year's Eve in China!

Thinking that this was the first time in his life that he would celebrate the New Year with his parents, Liu Mang said loudly to his father Liu Lijie who was gnashing his teeth in front of the TV: "Dad, I love you!"

Hearing this, Liu Mang's father turned his head and looked at Liu Mang in surprise.

Liu Mang saw his father's shocked expression and felt very proud: "How about it? I have never experienced such a direct expression, hahaha..."

But... Liu Mang's father first looked at the two cradles and saw that the two babies were not awake. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Liu Mang: "Get out! Don't wake up my grandchildren!"

"..."

Liu Mang felt sadly that he was definitely his biological child!

…

After not going home for another week, Liu Mang felt so happy having dinner at home.

Liu Mang thinks that Chinese people are better than people from any other country in the world at how to make their food delicious and in various ways, including low-fat and low-sugar food.

Even an ordinary housewife in China can be creative in this area. Liu Mang's mother is like this, and she is now making Alexia's craftsmanship better and better.

After dinner, Liu Mang held Avril in his arms, Levia held Becas, and the little Lolita started watching cartoons.

"Ace, starting at six o'clock in the evening on the 27th, it should be New Year's Eve, right?" Levia asked.

"Yeah, it's five o'clock Beijing time and it's New Year's Eve, the 28th." Liu Mang responded.

"Do you think we should have a party? It's going to be lively. Your parents like it very much." Levia suggested.

Liu Mang also noticed that the two of them like to have fun, especially Liu Mang's mother. She has been working hard to learn English for more than half a year. There is no problem in daily communication. She can even take her bodyguard to square dance in Liuguo Park.

"This is a good idea. It can be a lively event every year and it can become a tradition in our family." Liu Mang thought this was a great idea.

"Okay, I'll contact the restaurant with Chinese food and other chefs tomorrow. By the way, Ace, do you want the Spurs players to call them? They should be here on the 27th too." Compared to Liu Mang, Levia is even more

Concerned about Liu Mang’s schedule.

"The Spurs... just call them GDP, I'm not familiar with the others."

"good……"

…

After resting at home for a night, Liu Mang took the little Lolita for a run the next morning, took a bath, had breakfast, and asked Levia, who had gotten up early, to take the little Lolita to school. Liu Mang himself

Coming to Phillips Arena to continue training on defense, Emmanuel was more active than ever this time.

It is quite reasonable to say that eating people's soft-mouthed people is short-handed.

Liu Mang practiced half of the Gary Payton defensive training session. At noon, he participated in the team's pre-game meeting. Then, he briefly conducted a team training in the afternoon, and then ushered in a "

"The Battle of Revenge".

New Jersey Nets!

Seven days ago, when the Eagles started their devilish five-game away streak in seven days, the Eagles lost the first game to the Nets.

At that time, there was no time to resent the game. The Eagles immediately flew to Chicago and immediately started a five-day, four-game trip.

Now back to the Nets at home, the Eagles want revenge!

Liu Mang looked at the Nets' 21-20 record and the 76ers' 22-19 record. The two teams are competing for the fourth position in the Eastern Conference. Both teams are now working hard to win, because these two teams are competing at the same time.

One division is the first and second place in the Atlantic Division. The overall ranking in the Eastern Conference is either fourth in the Eastern Conference or seventh in the Eastern Conference. The opponents in the playoffs are very different. If it is fourth, it is very likely that the opponent will win.

The fifth-ranked player in the Eastern Conference, James, who played in the playoffs for the first time, and the seventh-ranked player in the Eastern Conference... turned into the Heat beating O'Neal and Wade...

Not only is there a huge difference in rankings, but the strength of the opponents is also very different. In the playoffs, the Cavaliers led by rookie James, whether it is the 76ers or the Nets, feel that they have a good chance of winning, but if they are playing against the Heat... just don't play.

Well, just go fishing in Miami. Miami is as famous as Los Angeles for sea fishing.
