597.James little notebook(1/2)
On the night of November 25th, after the game between the Hawks and the Cavaliers, all his teammates took a shower and some even didn’t take a shower. They went out to go to a nightclub in Atlanta. James was very careful about his image. He turned 21
He was determined not to go to nightclubs before he turned 21, but after he turned 21, he became a prominent figure in the league. He made the All-Star team, the team also made it to the playoffs for the first time, and became a famous nightclub socialite.
The name "Prodigal Son" will be very famous in nightclubs or places similar to nightclubs in China and the United States in the future, although this flower has bloomed a bit and the petals have fallen a bit early.
After his teammates left, James stayed in the locker room for a while. He would be interviewed later. He was probably the only star player in the Cavaliers who could do well. Others did not pay as much attention to Liu Mang's former teammate Newbell.
Come high.
I took out a small notebook hidden at the bottom of my backpack that no one, not even my own mother, knew about, and flipped through the many pages I had already written.
Stopping at the last page that I had written, it was written about Ricky Davis asking him to carry the bag. It turned out to be a diary after entering the NBA, but it seemed that all the unpleasant things were written down.
James turned to a blank page, squatted in the corner and began to write in his diary silently.
"Time: November 25, 2003.
sunny.
Mood: Sunny to cloudy to sunny to cloudy to thunderstorm.
I received a call from my agent this morning, saying that I have become one of the future faces appointed by the NBA headquarters. I am very excited and happy, but a little worried.
But when I played the game against the Eagles at night, I felt a lot of warmth... But! It's all fake! Fake! Those people are all demons! Bullies..."
…
In the game that just ended, James was defended by the Hawks and shot 1-for-9 from the field. The only goal he scored in a sports game was two points on an air cut without the ball. Coupled with 3-for-7 free throws, James scored 5 points and 3 rebounds.
2 assists, 3 fouls and 6 turnovers.
James played half the game, playing a total of 17 minutes. As soon as James came on the court, the Eagles were targeting him. As long as James was on the court, the Eagles would lock up James without caring about anyone else.
In turn, Liu Mang played 22 minutes in the half and scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks. He completely crushed James. The most important thing was his shooting percentage. With a lot of counterattacks, Liu Mang shot 8 of 11.
With a high hit rate, he pressed You Zhan to the ground and rubbed him.
The Cavaliers' strength is really poor. They originally had Boozer, who together with Big Z could open up space for James and receive passes, but now they only have one Big Z.
Big Z has never been a true All-Star player. Except when there is really no one in the center position in the Eastern Conference, it is a bit difficult for him to get close to the edge of the All-Star. Except for his rookie season in the 1997-98 season, he scored once with Sean Kemp.
After the game, he never led the team to the playoffs. Even if the team had Andre Miller as the assist leader, even when the Cavaliers were bad, he didn't perform too well. Statistics
In general, it can be seen from the fact that his highest score in his career so far is 29 points. With the Eastern Conference being weak inside, he only averages about 15 points and 7 or 8 rebounds per game.
Big Z's low-post offense is acceptable, but when it comes to Ratliff, he can only take a break and can only float in the middle and long distance. He has a certain accuracy, but at most he can maintain his own performance and the performance is not ugly.
When everyone on the Hawks was rubbing against James, the rest of the Cavaliers could also score, but James couldn't guard against Liu Mang's singles. He could catch up on the counterattack, but after being fouled twice by Liu Mang,
They don't dare to chase anymore. The Cavaliers' strongest point is their rookie. This rookie is locked up, and everyone else's scoring is random. The Eagles have easily maintained the lead on the offensive end.
The strength gap between the two teams is too big. This is why the league did not make it clear and created a conflict between the two teams. Now the two teams are not at the same level at all.
James was not substituted in the second half. Coach Paul Silas originally wanted James to try against the Eagles, one of the two strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, so that James could feel the pressure. Unexpectedly, the Eagles
The other side actually tried to beat James to death. James was so late that he didn't even dare to hold the ball. The Eagles frantically double-teamed him.
Because James can control his emotions very well, he didn't show it too much during the game. Once he returned to the locker room, Paul Silas saw that James was about to collapse and he didn't dare to replace James in the second half.
The Eagles scored 51-30 at halftime, leaving no suspense at all.
Liu Mang clocked out at halftime with 23 points, maintaining a score of about 25 points in each game. The Eagles finally easily won three consecutive home games 102-77, improving their record to 11 wins and 3 losses.
…
In the post-game interview, this game undoubtedly disappointed many America-first media, but Liu Mang has been the best young player since 2000, and James's personal image has been maintained very well, and James has not received much praise.
For making things difficult, Liu Mang received a wave of praise.
No one is surprised that the Hawks are targeting James. Maybe all teams that can outperform the Cavaliers will want to target James next.
The game between the Eagles and the Cavaliers started very early. It was the earliest game among all the games scheduled today. It was not broadcast live in China so early. It started at five o'clock in the afternoon. After the game, the news
The press conference ended. Today's game was easy and there was no extra time for physical therapy. Before nine o'clock, the players from both teams went to play separately.
Dinah pestered Liu Mang to go for a walk in the park. It was said to be a park, but in fact it was the commercial district over the Six Nations Park. Not only could she watch the NBA court dance performance, which was becoming more and more popular, even the hip-hop troupe had joined in.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang couldn't stand the grind and agreed, but when he thought about the way James lowered his head and said nothing during the post-game interview, Liu Mang felt that he was
Rookie Zhan bullied him too much!
Don't do this!
Liu Mang knew that the players who could be regarded as the superstars of the era in the future, besides Kobe Bryant who was about to become the superstar of the era, the next one would be James. Although there were some very powerful players after that, they all had a qualitative gap with James. Liu Mang
I don't want a future opponent to be destroyed by me like this. That future will be boring.
Just like James' performance when he reluctantly wanted to face off against Kobe Bryant again during the All-Star Weekend before Kobe retired, Liu Mang also wanted to play against the strongest opponent. Now James is still young and trying to figure out the future.
It won't be a threat in two years, but it's quite exciting to think about playing against James after 2007.
"I'll ask James to go shopping together!" Liu Mang suggested.
"Ace, have you noticed your conscience? You bullied James so badly today."
"Yes, the first overall pick is being teased by you like this. Will he agree to go shopping with you?"
Levia and Alexia didn't dare to touch the ball when they thought about James being played by the Eagles. They felt that James was really pitiful when they met Liu Mang.
"Try it, I don't think he will be beaten down like this, I believe he is strong enough inside!" Liu Mang's performance of standing and talking without pain caused Levia and Alexia to laugh and scold him.
"Uncle, is that very old No. 1 pick really a high school student?" At this time, Dinah suddenly said something.
"...Probably..." Liu Mang didn't expect that even children would think James is old...
Seeing that the three people had no objection, Liu Mang dialed James' number.
"LeBron, let's go and play together?" Liu Mang was as enthusiastic as ever.
"I won't go, I'm not old enough." James on the other end of the phone refused arrogantly.
"Not old enough? Is there an age limit for shopping and drinking?"
"shop?"
"Just say whether you want to go or not!"
"I go!"
…
After being arrogant for a while, James agreed, and silently wrote down this grudge in a small notebook. James returned to his "mature" look, implying that his game was a game, and personal friendships could not be allowed.
Because the game was ruined, and at the same time, he wanted to know whether the previous enthusiasm of Liu Mang and others was true or false.
James packed his bag and carried his backpack to the employee parking lot of Phillips Arena. He saw the "Liu Mang family" chatting happily with Rasheed Wallace and his wife.
"Hey, LeBron, you're too slow!" Liu Mang shouted towards James.
James trotted over: "Sorry, sorry."
"Come on, LeBron, let me introduce you..."
"Introducing Dinah! Introducing Dinah!"
Just when Liu Mang was about to introduce Dinah, Levia and others to James, a certain little lolita with evil thoughts took the initiative to introduce them.
"Okay, okay, you introduce me."
"Hello, Uncle James, my name is Dinah, I am my father's daughter, this is my mother Levia, this is my teacher Aida, this is Uncle Wallace, and this is Uncle Wallace's wife Lina
..." Dinah introduced James enthusiastically. Every time Liu Mang had a new friend, she rushed to introduce him to him.
Liu Mang knew that this little loli had no good intentions! He complained helplessly: "Dina, my surname is Liu, your surname is Savitia!"
"Yes, Dinah takes her mother's last name!"
"..."
After the introduction, everyone who met James for the first time shook hands with James and got to know each other.
Seeing James awkwardly greeting Dinah, Levia, Alexia and Lena Wallace, Rasheed Wallace's wife, Liu Mang felt a little embarrassed, inexplicably embarrassed.
Just now, Rasheed Wallace came out of physical therapy and happened to meet Liu Mang and others after calling James. Levia, Alexia, and Linna Wallace started chatting all of a sudden. , I heard that I was going to the Six Nations Park, so I took Rasheed Wallace with me.
Liu Mang didn't know what made James embarrassed, but it was just inexplicable embarrassment anyway.
After getting in the car, James sat in Liu Mang's passenger seat and looked out the window, his heart bleeding: "Uncle... uncle... why don't you call me brother! I am so young!"
…
Originally, James would have thought that it was two old men hanging out, but he didn’t expect that Liu Mang also brought his family! And they were two beautiful women and a child! James’s own mother gave birth to him when he was fifteen years old. According to his mother’s According to the explanation, his father was about the same age and got pregnant when he was fourteen. He was incompetent and irresponsible, so he ran away irresponsibly. He was not surprised that Liu Mang had a child.
When Rasheed Wallace and his wife came, James didn't think there was much wrong with it. It was just for socializing anyway.
James thought Liu Mang would take him to some high-end shopping mall to buy luxury goods, so he was already ready to swipe his card and rush to pay.
However, Liu Mang and his party took him to a small commodity area in a park!
I bought some snacks and drinks, and then came to the square of Liuguo Park!
James didn't expect to come to a place like this!
Liu Mang and Rasheed Wallace are both very popular in Atlanta now, especially in this square in Six Nations Park. Liu Mang is close to having the status of "court dominator". The master of square dance is no joke.
