The Chinese team finally decided on the final 12-man roster with 14 days left before the Olympics. Although there are still many shortcomings and a lot of room for improvement, the strength of the teammates is beyond memory, which makes Liu Mang very satisfied.

On Liu Mang's side, he and his teammates from the national team who will compete in the Olympics together began rigorous training with Silver Fox Harris. On the other side, in another basketball world, a storm that has been brewing since before the draft is about to kick off.

…

…

Atlanta, Phillips Arena.

Rondo came to the general manager's office with a heavy heart.

Coach Kruger went to represent the United States in the Olympics, and Stockton and Morrone Willey temporarily took over as coach Kruger.

Sitting down and looking at his serious mentor across the desk, Rondo didn't speak first. It was July 27th. Being called here at this time, Rondo knew it was not a good thing.

"Rajan, I have a very important matter to discuss with you. This matter requires you to make your own decision. Although we have the power to make a decision, we want to give you the opportunity to choose for yourself this time. We don't want to make Ace angry again.

Already."

Stockton fought for a long time to get such an opportunity. He likes Rondo's disciple very much, more than Calderon, whose playing style is most similar to his, and second only to Liu Mang.

But when he said this, Stockton was very serious. The opportunity was earned, but Rondo must be willing, otherwise the only way is to trade.

Rondo's heart was beating violently, and his uneasy feeling came true!

For Liu Mang's future, the team even sold Tracy McGrady. Now the team is still short of a small forward. Rondo guessed that he might be traded because he has the highest trade value among the remaining tradable players.

After adjusting his mood, Rondo said: "John, it's okay, just tell me. I'm mentally prepared."

Stockton nodded, thought for a while and said: "Rajan, Dwyane needs to return to his position this year. We can immediately introduce an outstanding forward who will not lose to everyone on our team except Ace. Now you

A choice needs to be made.

Return to the bench, compete with Jason and Lewis for time on the bench, and together we create a dynasty.

There is another option, go to a new team and be a point guard. They promised me that as long as you are willing to go, they will definitely give it to you. They are also a strong team and may have a chance to enter the finals."

Hearing this, Rondo smiled and asked: "Do they have a chance to enter the finals and watch our team win the championship?"

Stockton also laughed when he heard this, shrugged, and did not continue talking. He was so confident.

Rondo's choice was already obvious, and Stockton understood Rondo's thinking.

My second favorite disciple has the same idea as me!

Blind trust in Liu Mang!

…

…

"...Welcome all opponents who come to our country. They are all very strong. We will play against the defending champion Argentina, the second-place Spanish team in the World Championships, the United States team, the strongest country in basketball history, as well as Lithuania and Greece.

I feel very lucky to play against these top opponents and have such a group of teammates. I will work hard with my teammates to bring back the world championship again!"

After Liu Mang finished his speech, he walked off the stage amidst the applause of the Chinese people present.

As he walked down, Liu Mang felt that his hands were shaking!

So surreal!

Speech at the Great Hall of the People!

It's August 1st. Although there are still seven days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, some events with more competitions will start in three days. In addition to training, the Chinese men's basketball team, as a country that attaches great importance to table tennis,

The "dream team" that combines hurdles, badminton, diving, and gymnastics will receive better treatment than those other sports!

He was received by the leaders of the national team; he participated in the state banquet held by the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of Canada and the country's top leaders who visited China during this period; Liu Mang even got the opportunity to face reporters from all over the world in the Great Hall of the People, including a reporter from Imperial Sports University

An opportunity for top students to speak!

Liu Mang's vest was sweating while reciting the manuscript, and his hands and feet were shaking, but he persevered anyway.

Liu Mang felt surreal, and so did the North American reporters...

Watching Liu Mang's honest speech, North American reporters felt like they no longer recognized Liu Mang!

So honest? He looks like a good boy, or is he that little hooligan who talks dirty to the president in the White House?

North American journalists feel that their outlook is ruined...

…

"Oh, Ace, you must be fake Ace!" James joked, looking at Liu Mang who returned to the backstage.

James, Kobe, and Kidd, the three members of the U.S. team who have played against Liu Mang the most in the playoffs, also accepted an exclusive interview with Chaotingtai in the Great Hall of the People today. They saw that Liu Mang received similar benefits to American players.

If you have the opportunity to speak at the White House, stay and watch.

Kobe and Kidd ignored Liu Mang, but James didn't change much. When Liu Mang returned to the backstage, James immediately greeted Liu Mang.

Liu Mang's expression instantly became serious: "Really, you have discovered all this, LeBron, you know too many things, I can't let you go back to the United States."

"Haha..." James smiled when he heard this and hugged Liu Mang.

"Ding... Talent Skill: Born King Level 3 Ultimate Feature: Bullying has been triggered, from LeBron James."

"Because LeBron James has been suppressed by the same team for a long time, and his team has repeatedly made mistakes, he has lost his love for his home team and has entered into a bullying mentality that I would rather let the world down than the world would let me down.

"

"Bullying: Self-centered, good at using the team, close friends and other conditions that are beneficial to oneself to realize one's dream of competing for the championship. Special effect: Ai Yu."

"Aiyu: He wants to gain all the benefits, but he doesn't want to suffer any losses for himself. After suffering a huge loss of reputation, he is unwilling to suffer any further loss of reputation. He maintains the final bottom line and is unwilling to join a team that has defeated him."

"Hell! No wonder this guy cheated on his brothers!" Liu Mang saw the ultimate characteristic activated by James and felt that this guy is really a ruthless person!

But... Liu Mang didn't find it strange at all. Seeing this characteristic, he felt it was too normal. This was the James he was familiar with, but he had become like this through different processes.

"Would you like to have a drink together?" James invited.

"I can't go, you go and have fun. Our team management is very strict, and we have to go back for a meeting in the afternoon." Liu Mang sighed helplessly, not paying attention to James' new characteristics at all.
Chapter completed!
