Whose phone call was it so early in the morning?

He trained for two consecutive days with Raheem, Jason Terry, and Muhammad who joined later. Since there was a game in the evening, there was only one training session in the afternoon. Liu Mang got up at five o'clock in the morning and ran for an hour.

As soon as I returned to bed and fell asleep, my cell phone rang.

Therefore, mobile phones are very harmful to people! He delayed his sleep every day, and Liu Mang secretly swore that when smart phones come out one day, he would buy a few of them and press them like crazy to take revenge!

What's displayed is an unfamiliar number, a scam call?

There should be no such thing as phone fraud these days. If you could afford a mobile phone these days, would you still engage in phone fraud? Liu Mang remembered that phone fraud only started to happen two years after the price of mobile phones dropped significantly.

Although I have never met my parents in this life, I remember that my parents worked outside all year round. I was a left-behind child since I was a child. Later, I was admitted to Georgia Tech and came to the United States. My impression is blurry. However, although my parents don't seem to be so short of money.

, Liu Mang still decided to go back and get to know his parents after signing the next big contract. He had to take care of his family if he wanted to occupy the magpie's nest. As for why not now?

I haven't become famous yet, so of course I have to be able to return home in glory.

By the way, teach them how to prevent fraud that may appear in the future. After all, people in the 1960s, 1970s and earlier generations are often the ones who are most likely to be defrauded by phone calls and telecommunications.

Liu Mang answered the phone: "Hello, who are you?"

"Hi, Ace, I'm Vince! Are you so unloyal that you didn't tell me your phone number but told Tracy? If Tracy hadn't returned to Toronto to play a game two days ago, I wouldn't have even known your phone number.

No..." Carter complained.

Liu Mang held the phone half a meter away from his ear. This guy's voice was too loud! And he was also too verbose!

Liu Mang remembered that the last time he was suspended, Emmanuel went to Orlando to play an away game, and Tracy McGrady went to ask for his mobile phone number.

Tracy McGrady knows how to ask for someone’s cell phone number. Emmanuel also played an away game in Toronto last time. You don’t know who to blame?

Liu Mang didn't expect that Carter was like an old woman in private and talked too much!

Carter talked too much! He was just chatty! Liu Mang couldn't help but interrupt: "Yes, yes, I didn't have a mobile phone before. Jason gave me the mobile phone before I had time to tell you."

Carter suddenly realized: "So that's it, right. Ace, you seem to get only more than 200,000 yuan a year. No wonder you can't afford it. I just signed a 6-year, 90 million contract. I'll wait for you to sign one."

I'll probably be rich after just one contract, but now I'm still a poor man."

Damn you sister! You are so direct! I don’t know how to give you some face! Do you understand if you don’t tell me if you see through it!

…

…

Liu Mang and Carter were not familiar with each other, really, not at all.

But Carter is someone who gets acquainted easily, or in other words, can easily get acquainted with people. He will take the initiative to get acquainted with each other, and it makes people feel as if we just know each other that well.

Liu Mang didn't know Carter in his early years. When he started watching football in his previous life, Carter had already declined in the Nets. He only knew that in his later years, Carter was still able to get along with his team even at the age of 40. Most of the time, he had no relationship with his teammates.

very good.

With Carter's personality, teammates who have a good relationship with him will have a good relationship, but those who don't like him will have a bad relationship with him. People's personalities always have two sides.

But Carter also has a serious side. At the end of the 2011-12 season, after his last big contract ended, the Spurs wanted to recruit him, but because of past grudges, they flatly refused and chose to join the Mavericks, rejecting the most popular contract at the time.

Recruitment of championship-winning teams.

"I heard that you spent the night with Jessica Alba? Cool! How is the life of a Hollywood star? I want to meet you too..."

"You defeated the Lakers last time! It's so handsome. I've always wanted to..."

"The Spurs are really annoying. Last time, Bowen put his foot under my foot. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. Those people should be arrested and put in jail..."

"Atlanta is so warm. You don't even know how cold it is in Toronto these two months..."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang drank coffee and ate breakfast in silence, unable to say anything at all!

They say a woman is like a duck that can't stop quacking. Three women can perform a show, but Carter is a woman who can hold up a whole stage by herself!

Iverson has a bad temper, Kobe Bryant has a stubborn personality, and McGrady almost falls asleep every time he sees him. This is Liu Mang's impression of the other three of the four shooting guards.

And Carter is completely different from these three people!

Carter is more like a "normal person". He loves basketball, but there are many things he pursues besides that. He can talk a few words while playing video games, talk about it when going to a nightclub, and talk over breakfast.

Which one is the most delicious and more like an ordinary person?

If you only look at the career honors in basketball, Carter only has one second team, one third team, a few All-Stars, and nothing else. Not to mention compared with Iverson and Kobe, both of whom retired with regular games in hand.

Even compared to Tracy McGrady, who was selected to the All-NBA Team seven times, Carter can't compare to MVP candidates.

But the fact that Carter is more like an ordinary person may make his popularity far less lasting than the other three in the future, but as a friend, he seems to be more suitable...except that he is really too talkative.

The Raptors came to Atlanta to play an away game. They arrived in Atlanta yesterday afternoon, and Carter came to see Liu Mang early this morning to catch up with the past.

Liu Mang’s balls hurt, what a shame! I just saw him more than a month ago.

After breakfast, Carter went back to the hotel to prepare for the evening game. For the Raptors, whose record is about to fall out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference, their game against the Hawks has completely replaced the pressure from the last time the two teams played against each other. The Hawks have become

The one in the dominant position, the Raptors struggled to win.

The four Eastern Conference teams that reached the second round and Eastern Conference Finals last season have fared worse than each other this year.

The 76ers, Raptors, Hornets, Bucks, 76ers and Raptors ranked sixth and seventh respectively. The Hornets and Bucks have been overtaken by the Pacers and dropped to ninth and tenth.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yes, Carter came to Liu Mang for breakfast, but in fact he couldn't find a good breakfast restaurant in Atlanta.

Americans are more straightforward. They eat breakfast when they say they have breakfast. They rarely use breakfast as an excuse to talk about other things. Otherwise, it is not called an appointment to have breakfast, but is called a meeting.

Carter finished breakfast and left without paying the bill. His cousins ​​probably had the same interests, leaving Liu Mang alone in the wind...

…

…

Carter has not been very happy in playing basketball recently. The Raptors' record is much worse than the previous two years, and the players have begun to decline. The retired Olajuwon, like many stars in the 1980s, signed a big contract.

Regarding retirement, the key is still the 3-year contract, which has only begun in the first year. Antonio Davis, last season's All-Star and the inside swingman of the Dream Team 5, suddenly fell off a cliff. It was not due to statistics, but to an imbalance of mentality.

Antonio McDyess was unhappy when he saw an old man approaching 40 holding a three-year, $20 million contract and a Pippen-style contract ten years ago.

This is a situation that often occurs in every period when salaries are skyrocketing. At any time, the problem is not the scarcity but the inequality. The ones who get the big contracts first are either the "greedy" young players or the veterans with very senior qualifications.

Mesozoic players who are neither good nor bad happen to be under contract at this time and have been holding cheap contracts, so they will naturally complain.

The Raptors management has begun preparing a big contract for the former Reggie Miller's "bodyguard" super blue-collar Antonio McDyess, who has 14 10 statistics. In this era of serious lack of talents in the Eastern Conference, Antonio McDyess

Si is already at the top salary level.

Wanting a high salary will cause a chain reaction. Keon Clark, the 13th overall pick of the Nuggets in 1998 who just traded for him and played very well, and Alvin Williams, who has just been signed for two years and is a mid-level player, all want it.

With a salary increase next season, the Raptors' lineup is definitely more gorgeous than last season. Unfortunately, it's too flashy and not as useful as last season's veteran Mark Jackson.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Eagles and the Raptors will begin.

Carter's popularity has indeed been unparalleled in recent years. No one can compare with his popularity, including Jordan's successor in the West and the old Jordan in the East. None of them can compare with Carter. Even among Eagles fans, there are many people who came to Carter's entrance.

Time to cheer.

On the first day of this year's All-Star voting, the only one who received 100,000 All-Star votes in a single day was Carter, the only one!

Not to mention the era of paper voting, even in the later era of online voting, it was difficult to get 100,000 votes in a single day. It can be seen how high Carter's popularity was at the peak of his popularity!

The game was about to start. After the American national anthem was played and the final warm-up activities were taking place before the game, Carter came over to Liu Mang again.

"Ace, I finally play against you again! This time I will beat you by three points!" Carter came to declare a challenge!

"Oh." Liu Mang said perfunctorily, "Dude, I want to win!"

Carter's three-point shooting percentage this year is 42.5%, and he averages two hits in 4.7 attempts per game. Liu Mang's average three-pointers per game is terrifying, averaging 3 hits in 7.3 attempts per game, with a 100% hit rate.

Forty-one points, ranking third in the league in terms of hits per game!

Second only to Ray Allen who shot 44% and averaged 7.6 shots per game and 3.7 shots per game, and Antoine Walker who shot 34% and averaged 8.9 shots per game and 3.1 shots per game.

"Ace, don't look at the three-pointers I made less than you, but the three-pointers are no worse than yours! Don't underestimate me so much!" Carter was so angry!

"Yes, yes, you are the best, show me the championship?" Liu Mang entered the competition state, which was completely different from Carter, and the troll mode was on.

"Ace, you are really interesting. Do you want to provoke me and make me lose my mind during the duel? It's useless! I will shoot more accurately than you!" Carter understood Liu Mang's intention to focus on the game, but he was so talkative that he couldn't do it now.
Chapter completed!
