From August 29th to 31st, Liu Mang first went to three European countries for promotion. Taking advantage of the popularity in Europe brought by the recent victory over the American men's basketball team, Liu Mang's promotion was much more popular than last year. I saw many people wearing Eagles jerseys.

Rogue League jerseys, and even fans wearing his Chinese team’s No. 8 jersey came to the event.

While he was doing publicity, the three girls had a great time shopping. They heard that Liu Mang had received a bonus from the state, and they immediately wanted to buy some.

Liu Mang said that the bonus was only 50,000 yuan, which was less than 10,000 US dollars. The three girls did not believe it...

…

At noon on September 1st, Liu Mang returned home to Atlanta. He had not been back for a month. Liu Mang could finally relax his body and mind. He then signed the contract and went to the imperial capital to attend the celebration banquet. They were all relaxed and happy things.

Unknowingly, this place has really been regarded as a home by Liu Mang. Although... it feels a bit like a soft rice... but this feeling is still a little exciting.

Before coming back, they had hired a cleaner to clean up the house. After arriving home, Liu Mang and San Niu immediately went back to their respective rooms and fell asleep...

Early the next morning, Liu Mang got up early and prepared to continue training.

As soon as I woke up, the system prompt came.

"Ding... The basketball superstar section has been upgraded..."

The system panel appeared in front of Liu Mang's eyes. He first looked at the lottery template, thinking that something was going to happen to the system. Unexpectedly, there was no change in the lottery system. After looking at all the sections, he found that it was the training system that had changed!

Training modes are divided into two types.

The previous training mode has not changed, and the mission training system is still the same. It is the kind where you may not get special rewards even if you complete it a thousand times. However, a basic training mission is worth 100 superstar points, and an intermediate training mission is worth 1,000 superstar points.

A high-level mission points a star value, which is still very attractive.

It's just that Liu Mang hasn't been able to complete several intermediate tasks until now. It's not difficult to hit 100 shots in 200 seconds. However, with a three-point ability evaluation of less than 90, it is still a bit difficult to hit with a high shooting rate.

100 shots is no problem, but if you refer to the three-point contest, if you shoot 25 balls in 60 seconds, few people can make 20. Liu Mang trains normally most of the time, choosing to perform elementary tasks and earn some physical potions for superstars.

value.

As for making 100 three-pointers in 150 seconds... Liu Mang felt that if he improved to the level of Curry's three-pointers, he would be able to complete it. That is too difficult, and the task of making 100 three-pointers in 150 seconds,

It is the end point of the three-point training task. After completion, you can gain the skill of dribbling and shooting quickly, which means you may be able to hold the ball and shoot in 0.3 seconds like Curry.

The goal Liu Mang strives to achieve with three-pointers is to be stronger than Curry...

Of course, Liu Mang doesn't think he is worse than Curry. His playing style is too different.

However, Liu Mang feels that this new version of the training system is very interesting, and it is more in line with his current needs. Speaking of it, it is closer to the inheritance mission he used to train with Jordan, Stockton, and Malone, but it does not allow him to steal success.

Double the rate, but truly learn technology!

It's just... this system is a way to "cheat" superstar value in different ways!

"Superstar training mode: When the host learns skills like a master-level figure of a certain basketball skill, it can pay the corresponding superstar value to speed up memory and comprehension. If the star card of the ball has been used, there will be an additional comprehension bonus."

What a coincidence! Isn’t there 150,000 superstar points now? Learn, learn, learn! Keep the 50,000 superstar points reserved at the beginning of the regular season, and learn the rest!

Before the Olympics, Liu Mang approached Tracy McGrady and made an appointment to train together in September. Tracy McGrady said he wanted to join Kobe Bryant...

Liu Mang did the math, Kobe, Iverson, Jordan, Ginobili, Magic, it seems that he has used these most powerful stars, and they are all stars that suit his position and style of play.

Ka, the other O'Neal, O'Neal Jr., Ben Wallace... let's forget it.

With the experience of superstar abilities, plus asking for advice from stars and training on his own, Liu Mang feels that this is really the best method for a player who is a top star and is in a position that is neither good nor bad.

Top stars are actually in a very embarrassing position. Unless they are like Kidd, who has an ability value of 94 but is better than a superstar when leading the team, otherwise, most top stars will be in the same position throughout their entire careers.

There is no honor.

For example, Carter and Raheem have good statistics, but if you look at their honors at their peak, they only have three teams and all-stars.

It would be okay if they were first-rate stars, like Francis, with their playing style and strength, not many people expect them to be MVPs, but the strength of top stars has exceeded that level, and people's expectations for them are already very high.

, but most of the top stars do not have the ability to independently lead the team to achieve good results, so there is always something missing.

It's different after crossing the threshold of superstardom. Even if it's like Tracy McGrady or Kobe Bryant who were on a bad team in their peak years, at least their statistics can skyrocket, but top stars can't achieve that kind of performance.

Therefore, top stars are in a very awkward position. The key is that their skills have already been formed and they don’t know which training direction to develop. It’s okay to be the second in command of a strong team, but if they are in a bad team, they can only spend their days, such as

Ray Allen.

You are not willing to be the second best player, but you are not qualified to be the boss of a championship-level team, you are the boss of a bad team and you despise the record, and you are too embarrassed to form a team of first-rate stars and play with a civilian lineup... Most of the top stars are like this.

Liu Mang is different. He can experience the abilities of those superstars that are most suitable for him, and then learn them and train hard on his own. Of course, he has to be willing to teach him. Not everyone can open a training camp like Dameng.

The best high-post post-up skill in front of Liu Mang now is Kobe. Mr. Joe has no way to learn it now. He is busy preparing for the opening game of the new team. In the first season, Liu Mang did not

Go and disturb.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Iverson's side is a gentleman's friendship, the magician has almost no interaction, and Ginobili is almost a mortal enemy.

Therefore, the target is Kobe.

Liu Mang didn't know how McGrady and Kobe, two people with completely different personalities, got together. But this time, he really appreciated McGrady's "assist", but how can he let Kobe teach him skills? This is

A very difficult question, my relationship with the little blacksmith is not very harmonious...

…

…

Yesterday, the system upgrade was completed. I did some simple training and had a good rest at home. In the evening, I discussed how life was born with Alexia several times. This morning, Liu Mang arrived with Schwartz who came to pick him up.

At Phillips Arena, coach Kruger and owner Steven Price have been waiting for a long time. They have been waiting since it was dark early in the morning.

Fortunately, Liu Mang had not contacted any other teams before, otherwise they would have been unable to sit still.

By trading away Boozer and Raheem, they can be sure that Liu Mang will be the most injured.

"Ace, congratulations on defeating the Dream Team." Price saw Liu Mang and came up to give him a hug.

"Thank you." Liu Mang felt a little weird. He defeated their American team. The boss seemed quite happy.

Price was a little confused when he saw Liu Mang's expression, but he didn't explain... Of course he was happy! Liu Mang's positive reviews in China have surged, and those who have benefited the most, besides Liu Mang himself, are the Hawks and the NBA. Likewise, the Rockets

The team was in the same situation when facing Yao Ming.

The Lakers couldn't wait to renew Wang Zhizhi's contract. O'Neal left, and the Lakers really had no one inside. In addition, Wang Zhizhi now has a good reputation in China again. Without O'Neal, the Lakers are worried about the decline in the team's popularity.

, after Kobe renewed his contract, O'Neal's deal was completed, and after the Olympics, the first goal was to renew his contract with Wang Zhizhi.

"Ace, congratulations." Coach Kruger came up and patted Liu Mang on the shoulder.

Coach Kruger still has the image of a strict teacher.

Returning to the team made Liu Mang's reluctance to be separated from his national team teammates disappear a lot. He left a group of teammates and had new teammates. This was Liu Mang's biggest challenge after Rahim and Boozer left.

's growth.

After exchanging pleasantries, Price couldn't wait to bring Liu Mang to the office and took out the contract that he had already discussed with Schwartz.

Liu Mang and the lawyers brought by Schwartz took a look at it and found that there was nothing wrong with it.

A five-year contract with a maximum salary of $78.83 million, with a player option in the final year, a 3% portrait fee, and the sales share of peripheral products jointly produced by the Hawks and the Rogue League are the same as before, all with Liu Mang

The best conditions available.

The starting salary of the contract is US$12.53 million, which is 25% of the salary cap.

Both Liu Mang and the Hawks took the blame this time. Since the finals ended in five games, the league's total revenue was "missed" by tens of millions of dollars. Adding the entire Eastern Conference playoffs to the Hawks, the total was lost.

After playing 12 games, another part of the income was lost. Before the start of last season, the salary cap for the 2004-05 season was expected to be around US$52 million. As a result, it is now just over US$50 million, an increase of 1.09 million from the 2003-04 season.

US dollars, lower than the initial expectation of a US$3 million increase.

Therefore, Liu Mang's maximum salary is a little higher than originally expected. The maximum salary originally expected before the start of last season was 80 million in 5 years, but it was not bad. In the last year, Liu Mang originally planned to jump out of the contract.

In 2008, the contract can be renegotiated.

The Eagles management is not surprised that Liu Mang signed a 4+1 contract. Who doesn’t want to get more money? When Liu Mang finishes the first four years of this contract, theoretically speaking, he still has the opportunity to get two six-year contracts.

Maximum salary.

They just wanted Qiu's maximum salary, and the Eagles had no reason to refuse. Liu Mang should have received the maximum salary.

Moreover, the Eagles are more anxious than Liu Mang to renew the contract as soon as possible. The contract is not a problem at all. They can give as much as they can. They are much more anxious than Liu Mang, but when Liu Mang is competing in the Olympics, they can't

Let Liu Mang be distracted.

Seeing Ace happily signing the contract in quadruplicate, Coach Price and Coach Kruger finally relaxed their worries and looked at each other with a smile.

"Ace, I believe our cooperation in the next many years will be very pleasant." Price stretched out his hand and shook it with Liu Mang, then he and Liu Mang took one of the contracts and had it ready to the side.

A photographer was hired to take the photo, which was to be used as a promotional photo.

Price was talking about many years, not the next five years. His meaning was obvious. He wanted Liu Mang to stay with the Eagles, so he emphasized this matter.

Liu Mang didn’t reveal anything, so he took a group photo first...

…

After Liu Mang's contract extension with the Eagles was completed, he held a press conference in the afternoon to announce the matter.

Eagles fans are finally relieved. Liu Mang won the scoring title in the Olympics and defeated the United States. In fact, it did not have much impact on American basketball fans. Few people hated Liu Mang because of this. What they blamed more was

That group of players and coaches.

Larry Brown is already being sprayed to death. First, he "drove away" the Pistons' scarce powerful small forward, which destroyed the Pistons' long-term team-building plan and made him ignored by Pistons fans, pretending to be a Pistons fan, and watching the fun.
