1121. North American Dance King James
"Ace, next time you go to learn technology, can you take me with you?"
"Um?"
"Before, there were other people around, so I was embarrassed to speak, but now it's just us two brothers, and I want to talk to you about what's on my mind."
Liu Mang looked at the other person's face... and wanted to say something: "You can't mess with seniority!"
"What are you talking about?" Liu Mang took a sip of wine. Although there is a game tomorrow, a small drink is still okay.
"Ace, do all of you skilled players look down on me?"
Liu Mang almost choked and immediately denied it: "How could it be? Have you ever seen me look down on you?"
"Yesterday Artest called me a crab that walks sideways..." said the 21-year-old who looked a little older and took another sip of wine.
Watching James drink another glass of wine, the bottom of the bottle of vodka was reached, and 500 ml of the 600 ml had entered James' stomach. Liu Mang quickly dissuaded him: "LeBron, drink less. Artest is really good too."
, how can you say what is in your heart?"
"Ace!" James shouted angrily.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me next time when I learn skills... But you are already pretty good. Look at you, you have already surpassed me and ranked second on the score list." Liu Mang consoled him.
"When you were 21 years old, you were already very good at everything. Now I find that I don't know anything." James expressed his psychological pressure after drinking too much.
Liu Mang wanted to hit James after hearing what he said.
If Liu Mang had James's body, would he be able to train 350 days out of 365 days a year?
The world is so big, but the NBA circle seems small.
At noon on January 2, the Eagles came to Indianapolis, the city where their opponent, the Pacers, was playing their third game in four consecutive away games.
Coincidentally, yesterday, January 1st, on the night of the game between the Hawks and the Magic, the Cavaliers also played a game against the Pacers. During the game against the Pacers, James met Artest.
, James only scored 19 points, while Artest scored 31 points. The Cavaliers also lost to the Pacers 89-94.
This is not the point. The point is that James made 6 of 30 shots, breaking his previous personal record against the Hawks and raising it to 24 irons.
Although Artest's trash talk was simple, very simple, but the word "crab" one after another made James' little heart, which was not very capable, unbearable.
It just so happened that the Cavaliers had three days of rest in the next three days. The Cavaliers' schedule was as good as their own. Except for the tight first month of the season, the rest of the season was relatively easy. James saw the Hawks coming to Indianapolis and did not immediately join the team.
He returned to Cleveland, but stayed in Indianapolis, and asked Liu Mang out for a drink.
In James' original time and space, until he was swept by the Spurs in the 2007 Finals, there was no pressure at all or the idea of improving his skills. He just walked sideways.
But in this time and space, Liu Mang exists.
When Liu Mang was 21 years old and the same age as James, he was already the MVP, scoring champion, and championship. James is now 21 years old, and he is extremely far away from these things.
The NBA is not a big circle, and James has a good relationship with Kobe and Yao Ming. I know that Yao Ming has accepted Liu Mang's advice and has only now steadily improved to one of the two best centers in the league, so I wanted to consult with Liu Mang.
Hearing that James started talking nonsense when he was drunk, maybe it was from his heart, Liu Mang was also quite emotional. Even talented people have troubles, although they are troubles that make ordinary people feel like beating them to death.
Liu Mang thought for a while and suddenly had a strange idea. That idea was obviously causing trouble for himself, but...Liu Mang was actually a little excited about that situation!
Liu Mang said: "LeBron, we grew up in different environments. When I entered the NBA, I was half a year older than you when you entered the NBA. I was about the same age and my skills were almost as bad. But I have good teammates! They bear the pressure.
I can have enough time to hone my skills, but you can't. You can only use your advantages to the limit and don't dare to try new technologies, right?"
Liu Mang's words touched James' heart!
James held Liu Mang's hand and said: "Ace, you are so right! Do they think I don't want to shoot more? I have worked very hard in three-point training. I have made more than 20% of the three-pointers since my rookie year.
The three-point shooting percentage has increased to 37% now. I have worked really hard, but I don’t dare to shoot like you. I need to protect the rebounds!"
Looking at James's quibble, Liu Mang didn't expose it and said: "Yes, that's right, LeBron, it's too hard for you alone. What do you think of Carmelo, Chris, and Darko's rebounding?"
"They all rebound better than me...wait a minute, Ace, what do you mean?" James' eyes widened!·
The 03 generation collectively renewed their contracts in advance at the end of last year. Except for Anthony, who has a 5+1 long-term contract, the other four brothers all have short-term contracts of 3+1.
But at that time, they just wanted to imitate Liu Mang. They could break out of the contract after seven years of career and renew the contract with the terms specified by the veteran.
The original Big Three of the Heat in 2010 actually did not use veteran-specific terms, and they were not even max salaries. They all took salary cuts to a certain extent so that the Heat could renew their contracts.
Therefore, if it weren’t for James being killed by the Celtics one after another, or if it wasn’t for Bosh wanting to join a big team in a big market, the three brothers of Banana Boat would have signed a 3+1 contract extension not for the sake of teaming up, but for later
Being beaten into a group by the Celtics...
"Nothing, I just mentioned it casually..."
At a certain moment, James saw the excitement on Liu Mang's face, which made James feel very strange, but it passed by in a flash. James drank a little too much and didn't think much about it.
Liu Mang continued: "I think in your current situation, it's a bit difficult to develop many skills, but just thinking about layups and dunks is wrong. You can learn to turn around. I remember it was
Breakthrough and turn around are good, I don’t know why you don’t use them more.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You can't see your teammates when you turn around!" James responded immediately.
"..." Liu Mang was speechless...
"Forget it, you are only 21 years old anyway. In the summer, don't practice with Andre. Practice with me, Kobe, and Tracy McGrady. After this year's World Championships, we will practice together, and you will also play in the World Championships."
Bar?"
"right……"
The two began to discuss the summer training plan. Many Americans have a characteristic of doing things. They like to plan things six months or even one or two years in advance. Liu Mang made appointments with Kobe, Tracy McGrady and others in the summer.
We have made an appointment long ago.
The reason why Liu Mang tortured the five brothers of the 2003 generation to death in the game, but had a good relationship off the court, is because Liu Mang is different on and off the court, and he will do anything on the court as long as he does not violate the bottom line.
, but off the court, Liu Mang took good care of these brothers, except for the fact that he often forgot to bring his wallet when eating.
As we chatted, it was past nine o'clock, James had downed his second bottle of vodka, and Liu Mang had just finished one...
There were already girls starting to dance on the dance floor of the bar. James got drunk and got excited. It was not easy for him to come here openly after turning 21. He had just turned 21 three days ago. For a person like him who cherishes feathers, except for extremely
I have been drinking in some cities where there is no 21-year-old ban on alcohol. This is the first time I have been drinking in a bar where there is a 21-year-old ban on alcohol. I saw a group of girls and I couldn't hold myself back.
"Ace, let's go in and dance! You teach me two moves. I heard Tyshawn say that you are his first dance teacher!" After being comforted by Liu Mang, James was drunk and very excited.
"Uh...I won't dance anymore..." Liu Mang wanted to refuse directly, but the bad water started to emerge again, "But LeBron, I can teach you to dance! Find a place to practice, and I guarantee you will wow the audience.
!”
James's eyes lit up!
He likes to be cool the most!
James went to the bar manager and borrowed an empty room. Liu Mang taught James a dance move that he had not dared to show in public that he had used to draw rogue points when he was idle...
Also used 100,000 rogue points to activate quick dance teaching...
…
…
Half an hour later, James came to the dance floor wearing a golden tights and shawl Michael Jackson-style curly hair.
James is the most popular star among the young generation in the United States. He is promoted by the league as a representative figure of "American individual heroism". Although he is very controversial, his popularity is equally high.
Seeing James coming to the middle of the dance floor, the scene was immediately detonated!
When James heard these cheers, his brain, which was already stimulated by alcohol, became even more excited. Liu Mang went to the DJ and borrowed an electronic keyboard. He spent a tip of 200 US dollars and asked the drummer and bassist to cooperate with him and play.
He wrote a piece of music that will be popular all over the world in future generations.
James began to twist his body to the rhythm that Liu Mang had just taught him to dance to...
It was just the beginning, and everyone at the scene started exclaiming!
It’s really...irritating to the eyes!
But the dance moves and the melody are so magical!
Moreover, the dance movements are simple. For a black man who is born to be a dancer, he learned it in no time. Gradually, countless people surrounded James and started twisting with him.
James got more and more excited as he danced and added his own moves. The cheers never stopped!
Liu Mang was playing and couldn't help but close his eyes, but the rhythm in his hands did not stop. It was the first time for the drummer and bassist to see such a frenzied dance floor. They all played very excitedly, and the atmosphere continued to be frenzied!
The original keyboard player was holding a camera to record James dancing in the middle of the dance floor. When he saw James' dance, he was so excited but wanted to join in. He felt that this was the way to make a fortune in the future! As the video was being recorded, the music was also recorded.
Yes, he can learn!
The DJ couldn't help but ask Liu Mang: "Mr. Liu, what are the names of this music and dance?"
DJ saw Liu Mang and James appearing in a bar and knew they must have come together.
"Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!"
