Yao Ming went to New York to prepare for the next public trial held by NBA officials specifically for him.

It is estimated that this is the first time that the NBA has held a joint workout for a single player.

And there are twenty-eight teams participating in this trial on June 20th, a beautiful day to show love.

Including the Hawks, everyone wants to see Yao Ming's trial training after he is ready.

As for the exception among the 29 teams in the league, the Huskies said that they were really just like their team's nickname. They lost five first-round picks, and they didn't have a first-round pick until the 2005 draft.

I don’t understand what the draft means.

For Liu Mang, since the Eagles have to conduct many trials before the draft, and since they have already decided who to select, the subsequent trials are just to select some people to play in the summer league, so it doesn't matter what Liu Mang's vision is.

The people have already been selected, and the more talented Eagles have been invited. Liu Mang fell in love with them, but he couldn't choose them.

This year and the next year are both big draft years, and it is impossible to exchange next year's draft picks for this year's. Next year will be a super draft year that has been targeted by all the bad teams, although this year is also a draft year.

It's a big year, but a late first-round pick next year is as good as a mid-first-round pick this year.

In order to avoid the possibility of making Liu Mang unhappy, making the coach regretful, and making him heartbroken, Steven Price informed Liu Mang to rest for a while and wait until the draft is over before opening the training ground for him to train.

Although the Eagles still have to conduct three rounds of trials or even many trials, it is all just to deceive others. There will always be people the team wants who announce early and are intercepted by other teams.

The secret trials of the three rookies who are determined to be selected will also be held frequently, mainly to give them reassurance and prevent them from going to other teams for trial training and earning a living.

Yes, it's just a meal.

Many black players who are basically unlikely to be selected will go everywhere to buy air tickets, hotels, and meals. Sometimes people's biggest pursuit at this stage is to have food to eat.

Only then did Liu Mang realize that it was no wonder that Rahim, Jason Terry and Muhammad had arranged to go to Miami for vacation and train together, so they already had experience.

In the implementation stage, in the entire NBA, with Liu Mang as a special case, only he will still train in the gym in the summer when his career is already clear, he is confirmed to be a team star and he will have a big contract in the future.

Unlike more than ten years later, if you win the Rookie of the Year award, you may be traded immediately, and you will not be able to play in two years. Now, even Mike Miller, who can win the Rookie of the Year Award in 2000, will change teams if he changes teams.

A lot of teams are rushing to get it. These days, after the rookie contract of a top rookie ends, it is at least six to seven million a year, and most of them start with an annual salary of tens of millions.

After many players enter the NBA, even if they are only in the late first round and have no reputation, they will take out loans to buy cars and houses, and then most of them will go bankrupt without being able to play.

Liu Mang is one of the exceptions who doesn't rush to sign endorsement deals and make a fortune after becoming famous.

This is also what makes the Eagles management funny and admires Liu Mang very much. In addition to the fact that Liu Mang is Chinese, hard work and strength are also very important. Battelle and Wang Zhizhi are not still Chinese, but they cannot

Bring economic benefits.

…

Liu Mang was sitting on the plane heading to Los Angeles, despising the three guys who went to Miami for vacation without him.

Isn’t it because I can’t drink and can’t go to nightclubs? These three bastards.

However, Liu Mang was very depressed. He was going to Los Angeles to find Tracy McGrady, who was training with Kobe Bryant, and Carter, who was recuperating from his injury in Los Angeles. Why did Liu Mang have two girls and a dragster to go with him?

Dinah's school had just finished Children's Day. They had classes for a week and then went on summer vacation.

Moreover, the summer vacation lasts from June 15th to September 15th, which is a full three months.

frenzied.

Liu Mang remembered that when he was a child, he didn't have a holiday until July, and then he had to go to the Children's Palace during the summer vacation...it was very irritating to see people compare to each other.

Children should study hard and make up lessons every day! Why should we have a holiday?

Then I heard that Liu Mang was going to Los Angeles to find Maddie, Dinah was also clamoring to go, Levia also wanted to go to Los Angeles to buy clothes, and Alexia heard about it and wanted to come with her.

Then Liu Mang's original plan of a lonely prodigal son's trip turned into a family dragger in the eyes of others.

"Aida, have you been to Los Angeles before?"

"I went on a trip once after graduating from high school. I worked every day in college and didn't have time to go out for fun anymore."

"Part-time job? Didn't Ace say you had a lot of fun in college? You seemed to be the school beauty!"

"Ace is not exaggerating! I just like to dress up and go to parties..."

Levia and Alexia started chatting about their college days. Liu Mang felt that the two women were like a group of ducks making noise together. If he had known better, he would not have sat next to each other.

Today is also a ghost. The first-class seats on this flight were sold to four of them, and half of them were still vacant. So Levia and Alexia were drinking coffee on the table in the middle of the first-class cabin and chatting unbridled.

When you get up, you don't have to worry about disturbing others.

The first-class cabins of various airlines that still retain first-class cabins are quite different. Although the prices are similar, some are large planes that are very spacious, and some only have a separate seat that can be reclined, separated by a door like a train sleeper.

Of course, if there is only one person in a small cubicle, it would be more extreme, just use a curtain to separate the first class and economy class, so that the voices can be transmitted through...

The flight Liu Mang took was very lucky. There was no one on the big plane, just the four of them.

The women couldn't stop talking, and Liu Mang couldn't get into the topic of them and them. They were chattering. Liu Mang wanted to sleep for a while but couldn't, so he could only pass the time by flipping through magazines.

Liu Mang suddenly heard a brisk hum. It was probably the kind that he couldn't remember the lyrics but only the tune. The sound was not loud, and Liu Mang could just hear it. When Liu Mang walked to the front, he saw a little

Loli was squirming excitedly in her seat, humming a children's song as she did so.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Dina, what are you doing?" Liu Mang's head was filled with black lines.

"Dina is so excited! It's my first time to go on vacation with my uncle!" Dinah was very happy.

"Uncle, I have something to do in Los Angeles. It's not a vacation. I don't have time to play with Dinah." Liu Mang said speechlessly.

"Uncle...after you finish your work, how about you play with Dinah?" Dinah grabbed the corner of Liu Mang's clothes and started to transform into Diao Chan again.

Act cute when you disagree! Is there any use in being cute? Is Liu Mang the kind of person who will give in!

"Okay, Dinah will accompany her uncle to Hollywood. I haven't been to Hollywood yet, let's go and see it!"

"Dina hasn't been there either! Let's go together! Wait, I heard there are many beautiful sisters in Hollywood, what do you want to do?"

"..."

"..."

The pleasant conversation passed the time very quickly. When they arrived in Los Angeles, Liu Mang and his party first checked into the hotel they had booked. It was a family apartment-style hotel located in Manhattan Beach. The house was a set of villas, and the price was naturally different.

Cheap, $499 a night.

Liu Mang felt his heart bleed when he looked at the beautiful landlady who insisted on booking such an expensive hotel but only handed over her passport when checking in without intending to pay...

…

…

Why did you choose Manhattan Beach, an area with such high prices? It’s because Kobe owns a property here, McGrady and his wife are temporarily renting a house here, Lerenda is about to give birth, and the medical technology in Orlando and McGrady are not very good at it.

Don’t worry, it can’t be compared to Toronto, so I came to Los Angeles to wait for my baby.

By the way, McGrady was going to train with Kobe for a while, so he stayed in Kobe's beachside villa. It had a beautiful view and it was free. The blacksmith brother was so proud that he even paid for the Filipino maid.

In the evening, Tracy McGrady drove, of course Kobe's car, to pick them up at Liu Mang's hotel. There was a family dinner at Kobe's house that night, and Liu Mang was invited to attend.

Liu Mang heard Tracy McGrady say yesterday that he had been invited to Kobe's family dinner, and he said, "Damn it, the blacksmith's head is going crazy!"

However, Maddie was a little stunned when she saw Liu Mang and three people appearing at the door of the hotel.

"Uh... Hi, Ace, long time no see!" McGrady came up and hugged Liu Mang, skipping the question of asking who was Liu Mang's wife or girlfriend. How embarrassing, "Ace,

Your daughter? She’s so beautiful.”

Maddie was a little confused. Didn't Liu Mang say that he would not bring a female companion? He said that he would come alone, but now he not only brings a family with him, but also two women and a daughter.

"Thank you..." Liu Mang was already desperate to explain this kind of thing, "This is Levia, this is Aida, this is Dinah..."

I said hello, got in the car, and drove to the private villa area on the other side of Manhattan Beach, a ten-minute drive away.

The hotel Liu Mang stayed in was located in a resort area, so the price was more than double that of hotels in downtown Los Angeles.

Arriving at Kobe's villa, Liu Mang looked at Kobe's house.

It's not an exaggeratedly large villa like Beverly Hills. It has a small garden, a swimming pool, and a house surrounded by walls. After all, it's just a place to live occasionally in the summer.

Of course it's not something that ordinary people can afford.

When Kobe got the call and came out to pick them up, he was as stunned as Tracy McGrady when he saw Liu Mang getting out of the car with two beauties, one big and one small.

I promised to come alone!

Kobe was ready to show off his affection and torture with Vanessa. Although no one else knew about this little blacksmith's extremely sinister intentions, he still felt slapped in the face.

They also brought women! And there were two of them! Not only that, but there were also children!

Maddie is about to have a baby, and the due date is the middle of next month.

Damn! The little blacksmith suddenly realized that he was the only one who hadn’t made a baby yet!

Is the little blacksmith the kind of person who is willing to admit defeat? He is ready to work hard to get out with Vanessa, otherwise he will lose miserably!

Vanessa, who was smiling next to Kobe, didn't know that her husband was going to torment her so much in order to be competitive.

Although his heart was turbulent, Kobe remained calm on the surface, as if he was rich, cultured and educated even though he only went to high school: "Hello, Ace, long time no see."

Liu Mang was a little timid before he came, so he started fighting when they met. Unexpectedly, the blacksmith brother was so calm and enthusiastic, as if the two of them had never been unhappy before.

In fact, Liu Mang was very confused as to why the blacksmith would ask him to attend a family gathering. He had read in the news before that until Kobe retired, he only invited NBA players such as Tracy McGrady, Gasol, Ariza and Odom to him.

Even his closest comrade-in-arms Fisher had never been to his home.
