As Liu Mang said during the discussion with Xiao Loli, many teams spoke out that night.

Clearly protest against Pierce using his contract to blackmail the team into a trade!

This time, including Hawks owner Price and Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri, they protested the players' behavior.

The Eagles and Raptors protested this behavior, and it felt like only state officials were allowed to set fire...

However, Price's transactions have always been impeccable. The value of the chips given in each transaction is actually higher than the player itself. Who allows the Eagles to have countless chips every year.

The strength of the Hawks lies in their good vision in drafting, and there are no illegal operations. There are also examples of failed transactions. The acquisition of Big Dog is a precedent. The transaction of acquiring Marion and Battier was not considered a success. It is even more of a loss now. I just say that the Hawks

The team just needs these people.

This time the Eagles traded Milicic, and most teams actually supported it in the short term.

If the Hawks maintain the structure of last season, they are almost certain to win consecutive championships, just like Pippen and Jordan. With Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady and these role players, the championship will not be a big problem in the next two years. Even if it is the Lakers, in

After the Eagles have won the championship, it will be difficult to hold them back. On the contrary, they may suffer another Elgin-Baylor tragedy...

At least from the next two to three years, trading McGrady and Kwame Brown for one...there is no doubt that the Hawks will suffer a loss. Even if they get three first-rounders, the Hawks will also suffer a loss. The Raptors in 2010 and 2012

It is impossible for the team's first-round pick to enter the lottery, or even the top 20 picks.

The Hawks can only say that they will make money after McGrady gets older in two or three years. With Milicic, the Hawks will definitely need to make drastic adjustments. The stability of the Hawks will definitely decline, and only other teams will

The opportunity to kill the Hawks, especially the Eastern Conference teams, is very happy to see this. This is also Ujiri's idea.

Just like after the 1995-96 season, if O'Neal agreed to sign first and then trade to the Bulls, and the Bulls traded Pippen for O'Neal... Jordan and O'Neal, who had just finished his rookie contract, might not be able to defend the title.

Although everyone can see that O'Neal is 10,000 percent better than Pippen. Even O'Neal, who has just finished his rookie contract, is better than Pippen at his peak... Maybe the Magic can't see it.

Therefore, no team criticized Milicic for forcing him into a palace this time. Milicic's success in forcing a palace into a palace gave other teams foreseeable benefits.

But Pierce has a bigger problem this time.

Imitating this kind of thing is not allowed by any team management!

Moreover, Pierce did something very wrong. Angie broke the news and Pierce specifically asked to go to the Bulls...

Milicic just wanted to be traded and did not specify which team.

The Bulls management was also depressed. They did nothing but caused a lot of trouble, especially since they were about to lose Garnett, and now they have even more headaches.

…

"I love you Beijing..."

As soon as Liu Mang shouted these words, he was carried away from the scene by a group of special police officers.

Tens of seconds later, the Capital Airport fell into chaos...

"Ace, this is the Imperial Capital. You are very famous. You are more famous here than you are in Shanghai. Don't mess around..." Director Zhang's balls hurt, although they are of little use at this age.

, but it still hurts.

Every time the Chinese team participates in the Olympics, there is a team leader for every event in the Olympics. This year, our country is hosting the Olympics. As an older generation basketball player and the number one player in Asia that year, Director Zhang was awarded the title of team leader without any doubt.

Therefore, it was Director Zhang who came to pick up Liu Mang today.

Liu Mang returned to Beijing, thinking that he would be competing in the Olympics in his country in more than a month. He couldn't control his excitement and started roaring as soon as he left the place where his luggage was collected.

At this time, the imperial capital has attracted the attention of the whole world. The largest Olympic Games in history is no joke. People from all over the world have gathered in Beijing. People from other provinces and cities in China alone are heading towards the imperial capital in their millions.

pour in.

Among the three major Chinese men's sports, only the Chinese men's basketball team has won medals. Let alone medals at the World Championships and Olympic Games. The only one who has made it into the top four is the basketball team. The only one that has been able to reach the knockout rounds of multiple world championships in a row is the basketball team.

Nowadays, basketball is the most popular sport in China. There is no such thing as one of them. It’s okay in normal times. After all, they are not movie stars, singers or actors. They don’t appear on the TV screen every day like them. People who watch live games always have limitations.

The 1% viewership rating is as high as the sky. Online live broadcasts have just emerged. A game is very popular when hundreds of thousands of people watch it.

But now the Olympic Games are about to start. Major TV stations have repeatedly replayed several games in which the Chinese team won the World Championships in Japan two years ago. The power of state agencies is really terrifying. Liu Mang worked hard for so many years and came to pick him up when he returned to China last summer.

Although there are still quite a few fans, they are not as many as after the domestic TV stations repeatedly broadcast replays of the World Championships in the past three months after the playoffs began.

For NBA fans, they know how much greatness Liu Mang has created in the NBA, but for most Chinese who are not basketball fans, world championship is king.

Originally, tens of thousands of fans crowded into the airport to pick up the plane. Under the guidance of airport staff and special police, there was at least some order, but Liu Mang roared out and the fans discovered him, and the roar was like that.

Words that are easy to resonate with...

Finally, a helicopter was temporarily transferred from the TV station and sent Liu Mang and San Niu to the roof of the square near the Olympic Games office of the Blue Association...

Fortunately, the security guards and servants had already arrived in the imperial capital two days ago to take care of the two elderly people in the courtyard, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome.

Liu Mang was in pain, the two girls were speechless, but the little loli was very excited...

This is the first time for me to experience this!

…

After going to the Blue Association to report, Liu Mang went home to sleep, suffering from jet lag.

This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Mang is okay, and the little Lolita and the two girls are also okay. Although the two girls look young, one is 29 years old and the other is 33 years old.

The older Levia is fine, but Alexia is very troublesome due to jet lag.

After resting at home for two days, Liu Mang returned to the national team to gather with his teammates on July 5th.

When Liu Mang arrived at the training hall arranged by the Blue Association, the other 26 members of the training team had already arrived.

The national team now has four active NBA players.

Liu Mang, Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi... and Sun Yue, who played 41 regular season games with the Rockets, these four are 100% certain to enter the national team, and quasi-NBA player Yi Jianlian is also certain to enter the national team.

Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Sun Yue had already returned to the national team on June 1st. The finals could only be watched on TV. Yi Jianlian even returned to the national team on May 1st to participate in warm-up matches with some countries in Africa and Asia.

.

Including Liu Mang, the training team has a total of 27 people. In fact, there are only 22 people left competing for the remaining 7 positions. The five big guys in the United States have definitely locked up the national team spots.

If you want to gain respect, you must either rely on strength or connections. Liu Mang's success in the national team relies on his strength, so he can return to the team more than a month later than others and still lock in an official spot.

The unprecedented MVP of the three major world championships. Unless Liu Mang commits suicide, his position in the national team is very secure.

On the 5th, the leaders announced the games against the NCAA champions and runners-up on the 9th and 11th.

On the 9th, they played the University of Kansas led by Mario Chalmers at the Wukesong Arena in the Imperial City. On the 11th, they played at the Yuanshen Stadium in Lujiazui, the capital city, which is the home of the Eastern Sharks bought by Yao Ming.

UCLA led by the five major NCAA stars, Yi Jianlian, Love, Westbrook, and Holiday.

Neither Liu Mang nor Yao Ming can play in these two games. Yi Jianlian represented the Chinese team when playing at the University of Kansas, and then represented UCLA in playing against China...

Liu Mang was heartbroken when he heard this arrangement. God knows what the leaders of the national team were thinking.

After the leader talked about everything, the national team coach Silver Fox Harris arranged a training plan for the next three days and then disbanded.

Liu Mang is still very familiar with this national team. Except for the four who also played in the United States, the two pitchers Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng are still there, and three familiar faces Liu Wei, Du Feng, and Li Nan are also there, and the rest are unknown.

Head coach Harris renewed his contract in 2006 until the end of this Olympics. The core lineup has not changed, and the head coach has not changed. Liu Mang feels that everything is back to the way it was when he abused Japan two years ago.

Everyone else was fine, mainly because Liu Mang felt friendly and safe when seeing Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu!

Yi Jianlian is in charge of external exchanges. With Zhu Fangyu, he doesn’t even need bodyguards...

"Bajie, Sister Lian, I miss you so much. Come on, let's go shopping!"

"..."

"..."

Zhu Fangyu and Yi Jianlian were so helpless. They were waiting for Liu Mang's return. They were looking forward to it. But as soon as Liu Mang came back, they really wanted to go back to two months ago. They hoped that the day Liu Mang would come back would never come, not even the Olympics.

Don't come...

…

Time passed quickly. From the 6th to the 8th, Harris led 27 members of the training team, tried out many lineups, and selected two sets of players to participate in the warm-up match against the NCAA champions and runners-up.

The leaders of the national team attach great importance to these two games, and so does Harris. As an American, Harris knows how powerful the NCAA champions and runners-up are.

However, when it comes to the game on the 9th, when they play against the University of Kansas, even if the Chinese team does not have Liu Mang and Yao Ming, they still play according to their opponents.

It is true that the opponent has Chalmers, but on the Chinese team, in addition to Yi Jianlian, who is also a top NCAA player, Wang Zhizhi and Sun Yue, the others are also the best players from each CBA team. Chalmers

Although Moss has an advantage against Liu Wei, but how big the advantage is...it's really not that big of an advantage. There is still a gap between professional players and college students in other positions. Even if the opponent is a player from the NCAA runner-up team, the Chinese team is still

Winning is easy.

79 to 51, the Chinese team easily defeated the University of Kansas team.

It was very easy to win, but speaking of it... the Chinese team players always felt that was not the case!

In these two warm-up games, the Chinese team players have the kind of drive that they don’t want to embarrass the country even if they fight to the death!

On July 11th, the Chinese team moved to Shanghai, and the game became much more difficult.

Yi Jianlian went to the opposite side...

UCLA players really want to win, and Yi Jianlian wants to prove the value of the NCAA championship he won. The five UCLA Tigers performed extremely well, and the Chinese team also fought hard.

The score was 63 to 66 in regular time, and the Chinese team was three points behind, but relied on Wang Shipeng's three-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime!

Among UCLA's substitutes, except for Holiday, no one else can compete with the Chinese team's substitute lineup. After all, the Chinese team has gathered all the strongest players in the CBA.

But facing the four top players in Westbrook, Darren Collison, Yi Jianlian, and Love, the Chinese team is missing Liu Mang and Yao Ming. It is really no match for the opponent and can only rely on the depth of the lineup to compete with the opponent.

This allows many domestic professional basketball players to intuitively see the gap between their country and American basketball. This is just a college championship team, and UCLA players are not the best individual performers in the NCAA this season. The best performer is the U.S.

Both O and Beasley can play on par with a lineup that brings together the best of their country's professional teams!

In the end, I still rely on Wang Shipeng!

It’s Wang Shipeng again!

In the overtime, the two teams finally played 73-74, and the Chinese team was one point behind. With 3 seconds left, Wang Shipeng ran around the baseline to catch the ball and made a three-pointer, helping the Chinese team beat UCLA 76-74.

!

Liu Mang and Yao Ming did not play in these two games, but they both watched the game from behind the bench.
Chapter completed!
