On December 25, in Seattle, a small city with a highly developed science and economy in the United States, at noon on the day of the game between the Eagles and the SuperSonics, Liu Mang had just finished a strategic meeting and looked at the newspaper to see if there was any news today.

In terms of game news, O'Neal is about to make a comeback. The Lakers are about to fall to seventh place in the Western Conference, being surpassed by the Jazz. O'Neal, who has gained five or six pounds, feels that it is time to lose weight in the regular season, so he is coming back.

In addition, it is still news in Los Angeles. The Clippers have internal conflicts. The power forward position is overcrowded, and no one is willing to play center. Even the small forwards are full of people. Odom applied for a trade, but this year

Odom's contract has reached US$3.7 million, which is more difficult to trade than last season's salary of US$2.86 million. Now there is no room for teams that want to strengthen. The Eagles are all in vain. They signed the contract in the first place.

Glenn Robinson blocked the space, and Danny Ferry, who was traded back, also has a salary of more than 8 million. Although he does not have to pay luxury tax this year, he is still above the salary cap.

Although the Clippers' salary is under the salary cap, they are definitely not willing to take a garbage contract. Their owner Sterling and Rockets owner Alexander are idiots. They can save money if they can. Anyway, they have a bad record in Los Angeles and they don't have to worry about making money.

Not enough money.

Coach Kruger also saw this news, but now the Hawks have enough manpower inside. To replace Odom, the most suitable bargaining chip is Boozer plus a cheap backup center, but Odom almost made it clear that summer

He will become a completely free agent, and the boss will definitely not do a loss-making business.

However, with Boozer, this unexpectedly powerful rookie, the Hawks have little need for substitutes at the forward and small forward positions. They also need a backup point guard and center. Coach Kruger is also temporarily concerned about Odom's thoughts.

Not that deep.

Liu Mang continued to flip through the news and saw the news from the past two days. NBA officials actually sent invitations to himself and Carter for the dunk contest. The formal invitations had to wait until the All-Star voting was over to determine the candidates for each event. Liu Mang,

Carter, Jason Richardson, Amar'e Stoudemire, Draymond Mason, Richard Jefferson, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady...

After a dozen players have been put on the candidate list, now it's just a gimmick.

Sports news seems to be uninteresting recently. Just like in the middle of the season when fans have little desire to watch sports, players have no intention of causing trouble. January is often the dullest month in the NBA, and there are basically no records.

Born in January, the biggest news in the past two days is probably that Rasheed Wallace threatened to strangle the referee and was suspended for 7 games, almost a month. When he came back, it was after the All-Star Weekend.

.

Liu Mang turned to the entertainment section, and unexpectedly found interesting news in the entertainment section.

"..." Liu Mang was speechless.

"Surprise! The next Kittles? The king of technical fouls takes his wife to visit the Taoist church in San Francisco..."

Standard American Globe gossip magazine headlines.

When Liu Mang saw the news, Rasheed Wallace actually believed in Taoism!

Liu Mang didn't expect that Rasheed Wallace would actually take his casual remarks seriously! Americans are too honest!

Liu Mang recalled two days ago...

…

On February 24th, that is, in the early morning of yesterday, after playing against the Trail Blazers and being besieged by reporters, Liu Mang returned to the hotel. It was already past 1 o'clock in the morning. He had just taken a bath and was ready to have a good sleep. There were still four games this month.

Come on, the Eagles are now 18 wins and 20 losses, and are about to return to a 50% winning rate. They must not let their guard down and take a good rest.

Before going to bed, Liu Mang looked at his system panel and saw a lot of information that angered Portland fans. By accident, Liu Mang truly became the public enemy of Portland fans, and his rogue value increased by hundreds of thousands. Basically,

All the fans in Portland have become enemies.

The superstar's value increased by more than 1,700 points in this game against the Trail Blazers, accumulating 14,900 points.

Nothing else.

Just when Liu Mang lamented that the road to stardom was a bit long and was about to go to bed, his cell phone rang.

It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Liu Mang was very confused about who would call at this time.

I looked at my phone and yelled angrily at Brother Rasheed Wallace.

Liu Mang had something in his heart. Could it be that he came to raise an army to investigate?

Liu Mang still picked up the phone. Rasheed Wallace is a good person. Of course, he must maintain a good relationship. If the other party is angry? It doesn't matter. Liu Mang can talk things over.

However, after the call was answered, the other party was unexpectedly calm and gentle.

"Ace, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I guess you haven't slept yet, right?" Rasheed Wallace's tone on the phone was gentle and calm.

Since they are all professional athletes, they know what time it is to go to bed after the game, so Rasheed Wallace still calls at this time.

Liu Mang felt relieved when he heard that Rasheed Wallace's tone was very calm, as if he was not here to ask questions. He asked, "What's wrong, Rasheed?"

"It's nothing. You sent me out again today, so I'm a little depressed." Rasheed Wallace said with resentment.

"..." Liu Mang felt that this guy was not playing his cards according to the routine! He thought he would not mention this matter, but he was so calm and still asked the question. Liu Mang decisively argued: "Even without me, Rashid

You also get called for technical fouls every three days!"

"Yes, Ace, you are so right!" Rasheed Wallace actually agreed with Liu Mang's statement! "Ace, Avidas came to me for a drink and a heart-to-heart talk just now and told me about this, but

I really don’t know what to do. Whenever I go to the court and encounter something that doesn’t go my way, I will be very irritable. Avidas asked me to find a way to adjust my heart. I can’t think of it, so I want to ask Ai

Si, you are smarter."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...Rashid, wait a moment, let me think about it."

At this time, Liu Mang suddenly didn't like the adjective smart at all. Why did he call me in the middle of the night just because he was smart?

However, just as a reward for his apology for cheating on his friend, Liu Mang began to think about how he could calm Rasheed Wallace down.

Shouldn't this be Sabonis's business? Why did it finally fall on me?

Liu Mang thought about it carefully, how did Rasheed Wallace become so much calmer? At least he became calmer about competing with referees?

Adjusting the inner mind, that is, the effort of cultivating one's moral character becomes better.

Cultivate your moral character... It seems that Rasheed Wallace will believe in Jesus in the future? In other words, he will become a believer. Otherwise, let Rasheed Wallace believe in Jesus...

Wait, Liu Mang had a flash of inspiration, why should he be allowed to believe in Jesus? Doesn’t believing in Taoism also lead to self-cultivation?

Inherit Chinese culture!

Well, Liu Mang’s bad taste is back again.

"Ahem, Rasheed, are you still there?"

"Here, Ace, have you figured out a way?"

"Wait a minute, Rashid, I have a question for you, what is your dream?" Liu Mang transformed into a man who will never grab the headlines.

"My dream is to win the NBA championship and enter the Hall of Fame!" Rasheed Wallace still has great ambitions.

"Uh... the championship," Liu Mang thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Rashid, do you know the Moral God?"

"Moral God? Is he a very moral person?" came the negative and curious voice on the other end of the phone.

"I don't know, that's fine... No, what about that, Daodetianzun is a very famous god in Asia, his name is Li Er, do you know about Taoism? Yes! You actually know, oh, you have heard of it, just know it.

Oh, the moral god is called Li Er, and he is also called Lao Tzu. His name is a bit strange. Isn’t it strange that he is a god? Look at your European and American Jesus, his name is also very strange, isn’t it? You know Phil Jackson! That’s right, 9th Class

Championship coach, No. 1 in history, do you know his Chinese nickname? His name is Zen Master! Zen Master is Taoist... You said Zen Master believes in Buddhism? No, no, no, you haven't heard of it! Buddha is Tao,

Buddhism is a branch of Taoism.”

"The Zen master has learned the cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism in our country. Look at him, no matter what happens, he is so calm. It is because he has started to practice Zen. What is Zen practice? It is the method you want to cultivate your sentiments.

, you always feel like the referee is unfair to you, right? According to Taoism, you should not argue with them, they are stupid, you should not curse them, they will send you out, you should

Praise them, make them feel that they are right, and make them become stupid people. One day, someone will come to trouble them, so why do you have to be in trouble with them and be criticized for your skills..."

…

After Liu Mang made Rasheed Wallace dizzy with his nonsense, he almost fainted himself. Then when he woke up, he completely forgot about it. He came to Seattle yesterday afternoon and saw Rasheed Wallace.

Rice was suspended for seven games and was unable to play almost until the All-Star break, so he didn't pay much attention to it. This big brother made a clear distinction between the game and things outside the game.

But unexpectedly, news in the entertainment sector said that after the suspension, Rasheed Wallace did not play in a game until February 19th, which was an "unpaid leave" of twenty-five or six days.

After receiving the suspension ticket yesterday, Laishi and his wife went to the headquarters of the American Taoist Association in San Francisco, California, where the American Taoist Association is located, and announced that they would join Taoism... This is so fast! Americans do things like this.

Efficient?

Taoism was introduced to the United States at the end of the 19th century and has a history of more than 100 years. The Continental Taoist Association of the United States has been established for nearly 50 years. This is the first time that a big star wants to join Taoism. In order to expand his influence, Taoist Sister Feng Lin

That is, the current headmaster of the American Taoist Association held a grand press conference...

Liu Mang looked at Rasheed Wallace with a face like that, wearing a Taoist robe, and his wife also wore a Taoist robe, and she was very happy. Liu Mang felt strange. Co-authored, Rasheed Wallace became

The first NBA player to inherit and carry forward Chinese traditional culture?

Damn it! If I co-authored it with four Chinese players, Yao Ming, Battelle, and Wang Zhizhi, I am not as good as a Roaring God?

The key is that Rasheed Wallace would have started to have faith, and then his heart would become much more peaceful. Although his playing style was still violent, his technical fouls had become less frequent. There was no difference between his belief in Jesus and his belief in Taoism.

So Liu Mang didn't even get the reward.

Of course, Liu Mang said that he was definitely not regretful because there was no reward, but that as a Chinese, he was unhappy because he did not take the lead in promoting traditional culture. It was definitely not because of the reward!

…

…

In the evening, the Eagles came to Seattle's Aerospace Key Arena, the arena sponsored by Boeing aircraft, to challenge the SuperSonics away from home.

After trading away most of the main players in the team's lineup, the Sonics actually performed pretty well after the trade!

In the past dozen games, the SuperSonics have finally begun to win. Although the winning rate is not very good, 5 wins and 7 losses, it at least gives Seattle fans hope. Ray Allen, Radmanovic, Rashad-

The four-pitcher lineup of Lewis and Brent Barry can be amazing when shooting accurately. Of course, since there is no organizational core, Ray Allen is still organizing the offense most of the time. Ray Allen has certain organizational skills, but obviously cannot
