: Six hundred and ten: decided the first season

Time: 6:58 pm on December 11, 2003.
Location: The living room of Steven Price in the fifth presidential suite on the second floor of the Fairmont San Antonio.
People: All players and coaches, trainers, physical therapists, etc. of the Eagles except Liu Mang, and Steven Price, the boss who came to San Antonio in order to fuel the team.
Event: Liu Mang said that ESPN has a TV show that is very important for the Hawks. The boss and the coaching staff will take their teammates to watch together. The best team logistics team members will also watch it together. See Liu Mang said So solemn, Price put everyone together and waited for Liu Mang's so-called important TV show.
Mainly because after arriving in San Antonio this morning, there was a car that took Liu Mang away. In the afternoon, Liu Mang came back and found coach Kruger. It happened that the boss Price also came. He said this very seriously. Thing.
From ten o'clock in the morning to three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang didn't know what to do. It might be related to the show tonight. At the beginning, Price thought that Liu Mang made another talk show or participated in a variety show. Let teammates take a look and show off.
Because this year, there are very few sports talk shows or talk shows, and there are no online shows, and many variety shows and the like are more willing to invite entertainment stars. Unless they are super popular sports superstars, they may be invited. Only Liu Mang is the only one who meets this condition.
So Price thought that Liu Mang had another show, to show off a wave, after all, Liu Mang's jumping personality was too like someone who could do such a thing.
Originally, Price didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, but coach Kruger's inexplicable emerged. He felt that the matter was not that simple. This kid must do something again!
Out of prudence, coach Kruger suggested that the boss bring the players to watch together. Price felt that it would be good to help Liu Mang support his teammates and further improve Liu Mang ’s team status, so he agreed. .
At more than five o'clock in the afternoon, espn's website and TV news news, that is, the subtitles floating on the top of the screen, have begun to promote the time adjustment of the tonight prime time TV program. The program starting at 7 o'clock tonight will be delayed At 15 minutes, there will be a TV show about Ace-Liu called "Decision".
After the show was publicized, there was no need for Price to give orders. He just said that all the Eagles players poured into Price's suite.
The staff need not say, who can't come at the order of the boss?
Price looked at his suite occupied by his team members, and was really helpless, but this hotel does not have the kind of hall that can be rented specifically, and the conference room cannot broadcast TV. Only his suite is large enough.
Looking at the playing cards, the chattering chatter, the Stockton who is reading the mechanical books related to the combat aircraft, and the people bartending and drinking at the bar, Price felt that he had to change rooms tonight ... …
"Where did this go? It's so hateful that the show is not calling me!" Jason Terry was envious and jealous.
"Haha, Ace has that popularity. I think Sharif may invite him next time. Jason, you're still far away!" Rashid Wallace sneered.
"Rashid, do you want to be so honest? Ignore you," Jason Terry was choked to death and turned to find the good man Mohammed for comfort. The decision, what is it to decide? It is too much, he actually hid in the room and did not come out, we will go and teach him a while! "
"No, I will ask Ace to take me when recording the program next time. I hope Jason you can't count on it. I can only count on Ace to show us the scenery." Muhammad tried to be serious. expression.
"... Nazr, you are too good!" Jason Terry feels that the whole world is targeting this baby!
Just as the old players were happily torturing Jason Terry, Kwame Brown's exclamation came: "Hey, hey, -on, the show started!"
Kwame Brown is Liu Mang's diehard fan. He almost treats Liu Mang as a rebirth parent and admires Liu Mang very much, so he is the most loyal waiting audience.
For the TV shows of their own players, the Eagles players and management, coaching staff and even the staff are very envious and valued. There are really few opportunities to record programs in the NBA, and most of them are offseason or Most of the stars like the winning team are just ordinary news. This kind of program that deliberately delays the broadcast of other programs. The Hawks players understand that it must be recorded temporarily. That is, Liu Mang has been idle for two days. The moth came out at the time of "the egg hurts", but it is precisely because of this that people are more envious and jealous, but the Hawks team has a good atmosphere. Although they complained about not bringing them, they were still happy for Liu Mang .
This kind of publicity is not just to make the Hawks want to see what the show is like, it was the last time that the NBA superstars pulled hatred? Or is it just a variety show or sports entertainment? Is there really any major decision?
Fans from all over the United States have gathered in front of the TV. On the Chinese side, Liu Mang also approached the staff of the court station that he usually contacted with him. When the sports news is released, the recording will be synchronized with the United States. The show is only ten minutes.
Not only the Hawks and fans, because Liu Mang ridiculed the stars last time, after seeing ESPN's program preview, some of the major stars really envy, jealous, and hate want to see it, and some feel that chrysanthemum Yiliang, is this shameless going to be black again? There are also interested in Liu Mang who are interested and want to see.
The sports director of ESPN is all grinning. The choice of supporting the Hawks is really good. At first, they were just because Liu Mang and the Lakers had a gap. They helped each other. By the way, they supported the Eagles and Liu Mang. Was picked up, and Liu Mang asked them every time he wanted to record any programs. The last ratings had broken ESPN ’s ratings in the morning, and they almost caught up with the ratings of the occasional NFL game this afternoon. This time Liu Mang's more powerful show, ESPN's sports director has no doubt, I have imagined the sensation after this show is broadcast!
The ESPN Sports HD, which is at the forefront, is competing with the position of the sports brother of T.N.T TV station, and they will have the upper hand!
Liu Mang ’s idea is that since the tasks have already come, Liu Mang ca n’t do anything. Anyway, he must be arrogant. Let ’s make the storm more violent, and plan well to make the arrogance less irritating. , Easier for teammates to accept.
Liu Mang contacted the director of ESPN, discussed the matter, and then also contacted the domestic court station, who also sent someone to co-shoot the show.
Before the program started, ESPN Sports' ratings have broken 10, that is, at least 30 million people are watching this program in the United States. Sports programs, non-competitions, and at seven o'clock prime time, actually have 10% ratings! Can be described as exaggerated!
In the suite of Price, everyone gathered in front of the big color TV in the living room, and saw the big ESPN sports on the TV screen, and then the word art of the English word "decision" appeared.
The show started.
The TV screen switched to an interview hall. It was a regular interview live broadcast. The camera zoomed in from a distance. Liu Mang and ESPN's gold medalist Mike Brin.
"Hello, everyone at ESPN Sports. Hello, I ’m Mike. Welcome to watch today ’s special show.-Decide, we have invited this show to the team where we are now ranked first in the league ’s NBA league and personally ranked in the NBA. Ais Liu, Ais the second place, and say hello to the audience friends. "Mike Brin introduced very officially.
"Hi, everyone, I'm Liu Mang ... oh, this is the name. Maybe most of the audience can't read my name, or just call me Ace." Liu Mang just introduced his name, just listen Mike Brin, who seemed to speak without speaking three times, learned to read his name, and said the second half of the sentence.
"Aise, you are right, it's really difficult," Mike Brin affirmed Liu Mang's second sentence, and then jokingly said, "Thank you, Aise, for giving me another job today. Flying from New York to San Antonio will immediately record the show. "
"No thanks, Mike, are you the best commentary? You should be more able to explain and host than the fat athlete who can't even control the weight, right?" Liu Mang said following Mike Brin, dug by the way There was a pit.
"Haha, Ace, I can only say that you are right." Mike Brin and Liu Mang joked for two minutes, seeing that the time was almost running, and followed the established process: "Then Ace, we Let ’s get into the topic. The name of this show is
Decision
. It ’s definitely not my decision. The protagonist is you. I ’m curious. What kind of decision are you going to make? I ca n’t think of any decision you can make at this time. Do you want to change teams? This is impossible. You are the first in the league. You are the second in the scoring list. You all look so good. Next is your time. Let me hear what you decide! "
"Oh, before talking about this decision, let me talk about some of my recent feelings!" Liu Mang sold a pass.
"You are the protagonist. You have the final say. I was just called by the boss here before I wake up in the morning, but I still have an advantage over fat people. I eat less, so the TV station did not fire me. "Mike Brin laughed.
"of course."
Liu Mang responded, and took a deep breath, his expression serious.
Mike Brin was joking just now, but when he saw Liu Mang's serious expression, he also took it seriously, because he knew the general thing, Liu Mang was really important to announce, it was just his profession Used to it.
Liu Mang thought about it for a while, and began to think about it last night until he just said what he wanted to do before the show started: "I have been thinking about what I do for basketball, for fame, for money, or For this dream?"
Liu Mang paused for a moment without asking Mike Brin to answer, and continued: "Yes, it was like this at the beginning, both because of money and wanting to be famous, and more importantly, of course, for dreams."
"But slowly, I have some changes in the final goal of playing the NBA, or rather confused, what is the purpose of playing the NBA?"
"Of course, as an NBA player, of course playing for the championship and honor, but what exactly does the championship and honor stand for? When I have this doubt, I can't stop it. I can't stop this idea in my The roots sprout deeper and deeper in my mind. I do n’t know if Mike has ever felt this way. It feels like there is a feather scratching in my heart. People really want to lift it up and see what ’s inside. What are you thinking about? "
Still not waiting for an answer, Liu Mang continued: "Knowing that recently, I suddenly wanted to understand that everything is actually very simple, I play, I want to leave myself something in the world, such as the future, my child, he Or she, after growing up sensible, was surprised to find that her dad is a top person in an industry. In the future, his name will always be found on Google. If they grow up and like basketball, it would be better. He can always hear the stars of the basketball industry or fans of this sport often mentioning their dad, which is me. "
"This is my goal now to play basketball and do my best in the NBA!"
"Yes, you read it right, the show is almost over. I still didn't say what my decision was. Yes, I am a title party. What I really want to say may not be a decision, but a declaration!"
"When I understood what I wanted to play basketball myself, I found that everything was back to the beginning. To achieve what I want, I need to perform better in the NBA and get a real honor, not What an All-Star or three-point game dunk contest, but the real honor, that is the championship! Only the championship can let me achieve the kind of future I want, not 1, not 2, not 3 ...
I love my team very much, I love my teammates, I think they have the same idea as me, that is, do not have to wait until the future, now, this year, our goal is the championship, there is no other goal Only the championship, the goal may not be enough to describe our team's desire for championship now, we must get this year's championship! And the next defeat of the defending champion is the footnote of our scheduled championship! "
"Speaking of it, this may be a decision. My decision is that we are about to start our great journey! Maybe it does n’t seem to others to be ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But for me, our glory The road, from today, will formally set sail! "
Liu Mang's very long and very long words, Mike Brin and the audience in front of the TV listened and a little touched, but at the end, the style of the words changed, and suddenly became very intense, directly towards the defending champion or even All the league championship teams declared war! And also directly mentioned the name of the next opponent Spurs!
Others are okay, some are surprised, some are irritated, for example, Mike Brin knows that something big must happen this time, but did not expect Liu Mang to actually say such a thing, fortunately he is professional, continue I chatted with Liu Mang and finished the show.
In the Price suite where the Hawks players were, for a while, there was nothing but a warm and touching TV screen that finally made people stunned and said Liu Mang and Mike Bu, who were also shocked. The final voice of the interview with Lin.
The Eagles players looked at each other, and at the same time there was a small flame that was already burning in the heart, and it started to burn!
Perhaps Liu Mang ’s last words scared his teammates, but what Liu Mang said earlier, when he was an old group, what was the most precious thing he left when he played in the NBA when he was young?
Money?
Maybe it is!
But for everyone to remember, leaving their traces in this world seems to be more exciting!
The power of Liu Mang ’s head of state cannot be felt by others, but this group of teammates with him as the core has received it, and the Hawks players have begun to have a feeling similar to Liu Mang-let themselves stay in this world What's next?
Including veteran Stockton, there was only the obsession with the championship, but now, he feels he has the pursuit of his youth again!
