83. Books for adults
"Uncle, Dinah wants to hear a story!"
"Okay, okay, uncle will tell you the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs... Ah, it's the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Once upon a time, there was a beautiful Snow White..."
"Uncle, it's so boring, and it's just for coaxing children. Dinah wants to hear stories from adults!"
"..."
"Hurry up, uncle! Otherwise, Dinah won't sleep and won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. She will be late!"
"It's none of my business that you're late!"
"Uncle..."
"Okay, okay, let me think about it..."
Liu Mang’s balls hurt so much!
I just drew two combo sets that looked pretty good. I was about to go to bed. I will go to the arena to practice all morning tomorrow. In the afternoon, I will go to Detroit with the team to familiarize myself with the fiery fan atmosphere there. Unexpectedly, little Lolita Dinah hugged me.
He knocked on the door with a bear pillow and said that he wanted to sleep at his place and asked him to send the little Loli to school before leaving tomorrow. He had to sleep on the sofa again.
Then Dinah kept insisting on telling stories, and fairy tales that she could remember were not enough!
Looking at Dinah's expectant eyes, Liu Mang had a headache... By the way! It seems that he can draw books for free several times!
"Boss of the system, I will give you a free book selection! A book for adults!" Liu Mang was at a loss and shouted in his heart.
"The system has received it and uses a free book lottery..."
"Ding...congratulations to the host for getting golden scales..."
"..."
When Liu Mang heard the name of the book and the additional options available for collection in the system panel, if there wasn't someone in the room, he would definitely start spraying.
your sister!
What kind of thing is that in the pond with golden scales? What I want is a book for adults to read! Not a book for adults to make!
"There is a problem with the host's instructions. This system does not bear any legal responsibility."
"..."
Liu Mang had a stomachache. He thought for a while. Little Loli didn't seem to like watching soap operas, so could romance novels be useful?
Liu Mang just wanted to ask the little Loli what kind of stories she liked to hear, but found that this cheating little Loli had already fallen asleep in his arms!
Your sister! She promised not to sleep until she heard the story!
…
…
"Dina, your uncle's eyes are so full of resentment."
"Yes, Dinah also noticed that when she woke up this morning, her uncle's eyes were full of resentment. Dinah guessed that it was probably because he hadn't had a girlfriend for too long, and he was sleeping with a beautiful little girl like Dinah. It must be like this!"
"..." Alexia finally understood why Liu Mang kept covering his head. He was afraid of fainting if he couldn't bear it!
"But your uncle is serious. The mobile phones he gave us are the same, so why not change the color? How lazy!"
…
In the morning, after Liu Mang sent little Loli Dinah to school, he came to the Phillips Center to prepare for training first.
Since I have to go to Detroit in the afternoon, there is no training scheduled in the morning, and the players will not come to the arena in the morning. Instead, they will drive to the airport to meet the team.
As for Liu Mang, he definitely didn’t come to ride the team bus to save fares, he came to train!
Liu Mang naturally came here to familiarize himself with the new shooting bag and practice his weird layup steps and underhand layups.
After practicing for a few times, Liu Mang felt the amazing effect of the shooting bag!
Originally, that kind of slow-paced layup requires hard practice for a player who is not slow. Let alone whether he can adapt to it. Even if he can adapt, he doesn't know how long it will take to practice to get that weird rhythm.
When Liu Mang saw the layup scene, he knew that ordinary people couldn't do such a rhythm. But he tried it a few times and found that with practice, as long as he accelerated to the three-second zone and then decelerated sharply, the movements would come naturally.
It’s done!
Although he was still a little uncomfortable, the natural feeling was so natural that Liu Mang felt that it was too natural!
He can't wait to practice in actual combat now. This rhythm is so weird!
…
Detroit is a very late city in the United States. It was only established in the 19th century.
Many people probably don’t know that Detroit is actually a seaside city with a very developed tourism industry. The greater Detroit metropolitan area is close to the sea in the north. It has the top five music festivals in the world. It is also a holy land of heavy metal music and one of the origins of punk music.
The famous female singer Madonna is from Detroit.
To the east is a concave inland estuary, which is a very important inland port in the United States. Half of the vehicles in the United States are exported overseas from this port.
In the early and mid-20th century, Detroit was a prosperous city. It had the world's first highway, the world's largest arms factory, the world's largest automobile production city, and was once the richest place in the United States.
However, with the arrival of the 1980s, world trade developed rapidly, and the cars produced in Detroit began to fail to keep up with the trend of the times. German and Japanese cars dominated the world, and a large number of factories closed down. Black people were used as cheap labor here.
The industrial system began to collapse, a large number of black people were unemployed, and all kinds of troubles broke out. Now it is not far from bankruptcy, and the public security is also very bad. A large number of middle-class people, mainly white, have left here, and the famous Detroit chorus has moved to
Went to Chicago.
"Ace, it's best not to wander around in Detroit. It's not as safe as Atlanta here, and you have yellow skin, so be careful." Team nanny Muhammad warned Liu Mang again.
"Then you won't be bored to death? We're going to stay here for three nights!" Liu Mang asked curiously.
"Young man, did you know that there is something called a phone? Not only do you not have to watch Jason steal the hottest girls, but you also save money on drinks and tips!" Muhammad said as if you are still young and don't understand the world of adults.
expression.
Liu Mang had a black line on his face. Who asked you if you were going to a nightclub? These black players are so stupid! I just asked you if you wouldn’t be bored if you didn’t go out to play!
When I arrived at the hotel, I saw that my teammates started to pick some of the least noticeable rooms in the corners of each floor with inexplicable smiles...
…
It was indeed one of the richest cities in the world at that time. Although the hotel looks a bit old, the hotels in Detroit are really good. The five-star hotel where the Eagles stayed has quite luxurious facilities and even an indoor basketball court.
, the Eagles stayed in this hotel because there is an indoor court, which avoids the trouble of renting an arena. It is a bit small, but it is still possible to practice in the whole court.
The other teammates all had their own fun, and Liu Mang came to train alone.
Liu Mang had no sense of security, so he always wanted to improve his strength when he had time.
Fortunately, training is the most interesting thing for Liu Mang in this era. Apart from basketball, he really can't play other things.
Continuing to practice new layup movements, this feeling for Liu Mang is the same as when a new hero comes out in Dota or Lu, Lu, Lu, Lu, Lu, Lu, etc., he can't help but want to practice non-stop.
He trained in the morning and then continued training in the evening after a long journey. After dinner, Liu Mang was very tired and returned to his room early to rest.
There is no problem with his physical fitness. When he is tired from training, he can use a physical potion. This is where he has an advantage over others in training, and it is a huge advantage. There is no such thing as overtraining and fatigue.
But mentally I am still very tired.
To prepare for the next competition, Liu Mang will get up early tomorrow morning to practice more!
***The author has something to say***
I’m really struggling with writing today. I originally wrote four to five thousand words, and I wanted to add a female star to the list. She was a female rapper from the beginning of the century who died in a plane crash at an early age just after she became popular. She was from Detroit. I guess many of my friends are.
I’ve never heard of her. Her name is Erica Howerton. She is a very unique woman. She only released a few songs, and most of them were weekly champions in North America. However, I thought that not many people would know her, so I deleted them in the end.
When the main person I wanted to write about was deleted, and the expected characters were not written, I suddenly didn’t know what to write about.
