: Eight hundred and seventy-nine. Mavericks

"Steve, didn't your two daughters come with you?"
"Bella and Lola? They are only four months old, so it's too inconvenient to bring them out."
"It's a shame ..." Liu Mang remembered that Nash would become the father-in-law of the nation in the future, and wanted to take a look at it early.
"The next time you go to Phoenix, I invite you to dinner, and you will be able to see it."
"That's great, the twins are good, having two at a time, without having to be so troublesome."
"Haha, Ace, you're right, but don't you know what fun you have here?" Nash looked at the Georgia Tech jacket players training in silence, he and Liu Mang finished lunch. After that, let Liu Mang take him around in Atlanta, who knows that Liu Mang took him to the training ground of the Georgia Tech basketball team, signed a bunch of names, and then watched a group of two MVPs to watch the game The excited wailing lads performed a dunk.
I wonder if I can't dunk it? The dunk king is amazing!
"Atlanta has nothing fun ..." Liu Mang thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything particularly interesting in Atlanta.
"How is the Martin Luther King Memorial? I haven't been to it."
"What fun is there, just a bunch of red walls, you are white, I am Chinese ..."
"What about Stone Mountain Park?"
"A pile of stones, not as good as Phoenix's central square."
"There seems to be your NBA stadium dance performance over the Olympic Plaza. Let's go and see together?"
"It was only that night, and there was something beautiful about it. Ty Shawn was jumping every day, let him show you, there was a tattered flame cup, no one had wiped it for a few years, it was all gray ... "
"What about CNN's TV headquarters?"
"Dolan is about to hate me. Last time I took Dina to visit, they asked me to buy a ticket! No!"
"... How about the aquarium?"
"Just a few fish, enough ..."
"..." Nash listened to Liu Mang's commentary, and was really not interested in Atlanta's seeming attractions.
Nash couldn't help but ask: "Ais, don't you like Atlanta here?"
"No, I like it. It's just that I took Dinah too many times in those places." Liu Mang responded.
Just staying in a place with ordinary people for a long time, you will feel that the things there are normal, and Liu Mang is also like this.
Nash was speechless: I've never been to you before! I come to Atlanta once a year, it seems you have never received me well!
But Nash is also used to it, Liu Mang has always been like that.
After watching Liu Mang for a while training, and then strolling around the school for two laps, Nash thought it was good. When he was with Liu Mang, he was not as impetuous as when playing with other NBA players.
Although Liu Mang speaks privately, it is easy to suffocate the individual, but in general, it is easier to stay with Liu Mang.
The main reason is that Nash ’s current mentality has changed. After a star stands high, opponents, teammates, the media, and fans will give too strong feelings to this star. Nash is like this now.
Becoming a MVP hit, Nash didn't think of it himself, which made his psychological accomplishment burst, but the pressure that came with it.
It's just that Liu Mang, who is also a MVP hotspot and hasn't become the MVP hotspot for the first time and has already received an MVP, Nash didn't feel much pressure. This is what Nash envyed Liu Mang.
After a short stroll at Georgia Institute of Technology, the school is not big. It is a kind of very small in a first-class university. I do n’t even have my own football field or football field. It takes only an hour to watch the training and visit the school. Liu Mang and Nash All are interested in the lack of, ready to go to Phillips Arena training together.
Although it is an opponent, it is no problem to train together.
The two arrived at the parking lot in front of the school and were ready to drive to Phillips Arena.
"Oh, Ais, why didn't Tracy come? I thought he would have lunch together." Nash asked after getting in the car, he had wanted to ask before.
"Tracy hates you. If it weren't for you, he averaged 11.6 assists per game as the assist king." Liu Mang forcibly blacked out a wave.
"..."
...
Liu Mang and Nash met very harmoniously, did not look down on each other like the two biggest MVP competitors, nor were they particularly enthusiastic.
When they meet, the two can chat, and when they do n’t meet, they do n’t know how to contact.
In the training with Nash, the two did not practice one-on-one, and they were both afraid of the strength of the other party. They just practiced three sets of shots, one point 50 goals, and spent an hour training.
After training, Liu Mang sent Nash back to the hotel.
The Hawks did n’t train today because they had just played five consecutive home games. Although they were playing at home, there was no back-to-back other than back-to-back games in the first game, but there was only one day ’s rest between every two games. In order to play against the Suns, the Hawks are taking a rest today and tactical training tomorrow.
But against the Kings and Suns tactical plans, the Hawks have been planning since the Celtics finished, mainly for the Suns tactical plan, has been preparing for a long time.
Liu Mang saw that Nash walked into the hotel door and did not drive away immediately, but asked the system: "System leader, Nash's ability evaluation."
"Steve Nash, ability evaluation 96, offense 98, defense 70, 92 three-point shooting, 91 midfielder, 90 layup, speed 93, strength 77, endurance 99, pass 100 ... Talent: Son of the Wind."
It's too strong! Liu Mang found something wrong and asked the system: "Boss of the system, has Nash not yet reached the peak? He will be 31 next month!"
"Ding ... Steve Nash has passed the peak period. After he reached the Suns, he liberated his limited strength, but has passed the physiological peak period."
"..."
96's ability evaluation, the peak has passed ... How many people are mad at this?
Looking at Nash's three-point shooting, it's enough. Except for the direct attack on the rim, it's a little bit worse, "only" has a top level, 91 in the cast is top in any era, only three players have 90 three-pointers The age of ability evaluation is also strong enough, especially the endurance, 99, ... full pass value ... that is, the defense is too poor, such a good offense and such a good pass, all of which lowered the comprehensive ability evaluation.
Liu Mang is right to think about the fact that the peak has passed. A player, at 31 years old, may have better technology, mentality and experience in playing, but his physical talent is the most important in basketball. Importantly, Nash ’s physical talent is his physical fitness and ball sense, hand feel, speed, etc., and the 31-year-old Nash, his body is not comparable to the strongest at any time ...
Even Jordan is the strongest at the age of 28, averaging 31.5 points per game is not his highest scoring season, but 53.9 percent shooting is the highest in his career, the overall efficiency is per reached 31.6, The highest career, the offensive efficiency is the best year of his career, the offensive efficiency reached 14.9, the defensive efficiency of 5.4 is also the best defensive player level, but at that time the Bulls already had Pippen, Jordan ’s defensive role was ignored. less.
Both Kobe and James are at their peak when they are around 28 years old. Kobe averaged 35+ points per game at 28 years old. The reason why James ’season is considered to be his strongest year in the second half of 28 and the first half of 29 That's because he had an offensive efficiency of 14.6 and a defensive efficiency of 4.7, second only to Mark Gasol, the best defensive player of the season.
These age-class superstars, although 31 years old and even 32 or 33 years old, still played well. Jordan opened his second three consecutive championships at 33 years old. Kobe Bryant almost got the scoring king at 33 years old but his Achilles tendon was broken. James 33 Years old forcibly dragged the Cavaliers into the finals and was shaved ... but even if they were stronger later, they were not as strong as when they were 28 years old, but when they were not so strong, they were better than others, and when they were at their peak. There is still a gap.
As long as the peak has been reached, even if it only slipped a little, it has already fallen.
Liu Mang was inexplicably a little sorry that he did not see Old Nelson let Nash lead the team at the peak of Nash. This was no way. Nash went to the Mavericks back. When he arrived at the Mavericks, Nowitzki had already It is one of the strongest power forwards in the league. I have cultivated an inner core and a point guard that has been abandoned by other teams. Even Old Nelson, I dare not give up Nowitzki ’s good play to make Nash the core. The inside line is always more popular than the outside line. Old Nielsen did that, it is estimated that he will be strangled by Cuban.
It's a pity that he didn't see Nash, who was the strongest in theory, to really fit his team, and Liu Mang was a little sorry.
But think about Nash can still get the assists in 2011, Nash's decline rate is particularly slow, and there are still a long time to play, Liu Mang is not so uncomfortable.
Nothing can be completed, there will always be a little regret.
...
Liu Mang came back home today, so Saturday, so Dina was at home and saw Liu Mang coming back. Dina played a small song for Liu Mang with the guitar that she had just learned a little.
"How is it, Uncle, is Dina very powerful!" Little Lori looked forward to encouragement.
"Not very good, Dina will change a musical instrument ..." Not that Liu Mang didn't want to encourage, but what did this play! He didn't hear it at all ...
"Uncle! Dina will never play the guitar for the uncle!" Dina threw the guitar in Liu Mang's arms angrily and ran upstairs ...
After a few minutes, Dina came down with a leaflet and leaned beside Liu Mang: "Uncle, Dina, can you learn piano?"
"I remember Dina, did you seem to have learned piano?" Liu Mang remembered the piano that had been moved to the warehouse.
"Dena didn't like music back then, but she likes it now."
"Then learn it, come on, don't disturb your neighbor."
"That uncle helped Dina to go to the piano classroom to learn piano!" Dina gave the leaflet to Liu Mang.
"Okay ..." Liu Mang didn't care too much, how much it would cost to learn a musical instrument, and the tuition for the guitar classroom for a month was only two thousand dollars. 2000 yuan in 40 minutes? Why not grab it! What piano piano classroom of the pianist who performed in the Golden Hall of Vienna, a bad man in his 60s is so greedy ... "
Seeing the tuition of Wan Meidao on Monday, Liu Mang felt vomiting blood!
This stuff is really for the rich! This tuition cost two more months, more expensive than some good pianos!
Liu Mang thinks, it seems that learning guitar for two months is more expensive than guitar, but a slightly better guitar is not expensive ... Of course, it is for Dina's living environment.
"I have no money, go find your mother!" Liu Mang said fatly.
"Uncle ..."
"No money!"
"Uncle ..." Dina, holding Liu Mang's arm, began to continue to be coquettish again.
"No money!"
"Be stingy!" Dina groaned, and her eyes were covered with mist. She said pitifully: "Uncle, my mother said I don't want to learn piano. I won't learn it all my life, she won't give Dina money, uncle ... Hey, Dina is really pitiful. Without her father, her mother does n’t hurt, and her uncle does n’t hurt either. The teacher forced Dina to do her homework every day ... "
Liu Mang's head is too big, and he can't stand it anymore: "Go everywhere, give you money, you let Levia or Aida take you to register!"
Liu Mang took out his wallet and took out a lot of money, that is, 10,000 dollars in cash and handed it to Little Loli, and quickly drove away Little Loli.
Liu Mang felt that his heart was bleeding: it was too much money to talk to this little loli!
Looking at Dina's tears, and then ran upstairs to find Levia, who hadn't gotten a nap yet, how Liu Mang felt as if he had been fooled.
Forget it, Liu Mang didn't want that much anymore. Turn on the TV and prepare to watch the news.
As soon as I opened the ESPN sports platform, I saw the game preview for tomorrow. The Hawks played the Suns. The first team in the East and West, and the two offensive super teams, played the most attention in January. game.
The Suns ’live broadcast of the game has increased since January. Originally, they did n’t have a national live broadcast in January, and there were 4 national live broadcasts throughout the season, but in January, they and the Lakers, Eagles, and Mavericks. The Rockets have live broadcasts in all four games, and the extra-broadcast matches have caught up with the number of live broadcasts that were originally in the entire season.
When the gorgeous style of the Suns played against popular teams, directly before and after the eyes of the fans, the Suns all over the world!
Coupled with the already popular Eagles, the battle between the two teams became the competition for the three major TV stations to compete. In the end, ESPN and Time Warner first broadcast the first match between the two teams. TNT and the American cable broadcast the two teams. The second game.
The league did not expect the Suns to be so strong all at once. Seeing that the fans on the Internet were so excited about this game, David Stern was broken. Unfortunately, the game started too early ~ EbookFREE.me ~ At 6 o'clock in the evening, there was no way to broadcast live on the court, which made him very regretful. Fortunately, the next time the Eagles played in Phoenix was in the west. At 10:30 in Beijing time, David Stern's regret decreased Some more.
Just as Liu Mang was fascinated by watching the highlights of his team's game with the Suns, a news was inserted.
Liu Mang instantly felt that someone was grabbing the limelight!
Moreover, I was very afraid of that team, and now I feel even more afraid!
...
At 4:35 pm on January 18, 2005, ESPN broke the news that the Dallas Mavericks reached a three-way deal with the New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks.
The Mavericks sent out the first round of 2007 unprotected draft picks, Alan Henderson, Sean Bradley, Keith Van Horn, from New York Knicks to Jamal Crawford and Wen Baker and one Signing rights for the Bucks' rookie in the 1980s.
The Bucks sent out the 2007 second-round draft pick and got Keith Van Horn and the Mavericks' first-round 2007 unprotected draft pick.
The Knicks sent Jamal Crawford and Wen Baker to the 2007 Bucks second-round draft pick, Alan Henderson and Sean Bradley.
Seeing this deal, Liu Mang felt that the Mavericks were really unwilling! Last summer, he wanted to use Finley to replace Jason Terry, but was rejected. After half a season, he found a substitute, Jamal Crawford, and the super singles team went farther and farther!
The Knicks had a bad record anyway. In order to make Marbury happy, they sold away Jamal Crawford, who robbed the ball, and sent away Wen Baker with a big contract of more than 8 million per year for two years. , Incidentally get a second round sign.
Liu Mang feels that the Knicks are intentional? Intentionally create rivals for them?
