: 1398. When did we get so miserable?


"Kristin, help me take a picture with Avril ..."
"Dena too!"
"We come alone."
There is no chance to be alone on Valentine ’s Day again. At least for the past two years, Alexia looked at Liu Mang and took a bunch of photos with her daughter on Valentine ’s Day and smiled:
You have an old saying in China that your daughter The lover of your last life, Ace you interpreted this sentence very well. "
"Cough," Liu Mang was also a little embarrassed, but then he had a bad idea again, and said, "Aida, there is a second half of this sentence, you must have never heard it."
"And the second half of the sentence?" Alexia asked curiously.
"Avril Lavigne is my lover in my life, and you are a courier ..."
"Courier?"
"Yes, delivery."
"To die, you ..."
After making a fuss, looking at the little Loli who was full of dog food and holding Avril at the side with contempt, Liu Mang didn't control the movement of Aleksia's hands, almost in front of the little Loli To do something that should not be done.
Mainly because the schedule was tight for a while, neither Leviaia nor Alexia stayed in the same room with Liu Mang for fear of affecting Liu Mang ’s physical strength. Liu Mang has long been hungry and unbearable. There are many teammates. When people had already gone to Las Vegas in advance, Liu Mang first returned to Atlanta.
Starting today, the All-Star weekend holiday begins.
For the Eagles, this is undoubtedly a long-term drought-like opportunity to relax.
Hosting an All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas can be regarded as the home of Marion. Marion graduated from the University of Nevada. The largest campus of the University of Nevada is in Las Vegas, although Marion is only in the big I played here for a year at three, but for this year, Marion was selected as the second-best player in the All-American team and became the ninth overall rookie, which left a deep impression on casino fans.
Marion has a lot of fans in Las Vegas. Although there are not many people there, it has not helped Marion to be selected as an All-Star, but Marion is also a half host. This time if the Hawks players To see the All-Star weekend and eat and live in Las Vegas, Marion will be in charge.
On February 14th, Liu Mang did not leave for Las Vegas, so he took a day off at home.
Compared with the past few years, Liu Mang has fewer activities on the All-Star weekend this year, and most of the activities Schwartz helped him get rid of.
Liu Mang chose Schwartz in the first place, and it was Schwartz ’s reputation in later generations. He would not exhaust the players for the commission. Of course, there is no such cruelty. If Schwartz did not meet Liu Mang, he would He was quite disappointed at one time, but he did not fall, and after accumulating good reputation, he became the first agent in the NBA in the future.
This year Liu Mang only had the promotion of Aisi's fifth-generation signature shoes on February 16th and 17th, the promotion of Facebook, the promotion of very Coke, and the shooting of a promotional photo of an airline. There was no other event. Not as tired as in the past few years.
After a day of rest at home, on February 15th, Liu Mang and his family packed up a large pile of luggage, and took a charter flight to the casino.
This year's All-Star is full of very different feelings.
In other words, this season, the fans feel very different!
One word to describe the fans' impressions of the season so far ... that is-radical!
The All-Star holiday is coming, but the management of many teams in the league has entered the busiest moment.
On the afternoon of the 15th, the Liu Mang family arrived at a villa hotel in Las Vegas. According to the usual practice, they did not go to live with other All-Stars, rookies and triathlon players, and bought a villa under their own.
On the second day of the holiday, Liu Mang saw a lot of news about the movement of players.
On the supersonic side, Salad Lewis insisted on a top salary when discussing the contract renewal with the management.
The league has 29 players per game this year. The Supersonics originally occupied two of them. Ray Allen and Lewis are averaging 22 points per game. Ray Allen is over 30 years old. The Supersonics sent him away, but originally wanted Leaving Francis and Sharad Lewis as the core partner combination, but the top salary ... Sharad Lewis has also been playing for nine years, and the top salary will be as high as 6 years, close to 120 million. The new supersonic boss can't afford it, just changed. The new boss, the new boss has been emptied of capital by buying the team and financing the construction of a new stadium in Oklahoma City, at most supporting the luxury tax of this year, and will not be able to pay it next year, only Lasha De Lewis put on the shelf.
However, at this time, Liu Mang felt that it was difficult for the Supersonics to exchange Lewis for good returns. It is estimated that he could only wait until the summer when the Lewis contract expires. After signing and replacing it with a little chips, with Lewis ’three-point ability, it is now better Time and space were more valued by three points, and Lewis could get a top salary wherever he went.
Trading rumors about some players from the Nets and Pistons teams are all over the sky.
Since last summer, the transactions of the teams that are fighting for the championship have been very aggressive, all trying to improve their strength as much as possible, but this also made this season a huge soap opera.
Those who can send the stars back to exchange chips are all sent out, and those that have not been sent out have spent most of the season, almost reaching the trade deadline, and still can not be sent out.
Because the teams that want to reinforce all spend their salary space in the summer, and other teams that want stars are not willing to give too much reward, and the main thing is for the top three in the 2007 draft. Bit, bad teams don't want to be strong.
It was like crazy in the summer of 1998 and the summer of 2002. At that time, the Eagles also took a big dog along with the crazy league. This season because of the weakening period of the Eagles after three consecutive championships, other teams have become Crazy.
"Aisi, we are about to fight again, how about it, looking forward to it?" Yao Ming smiled, and it was called a frivolous.
"I'm looking forward to it, you can only be happy until the end of the All-Star weekend." Liu Mang gave Yao Ming a white look.
I won a game and started to chatter!
So far, Yao Ming has averaged 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.9 assists per game this season. His average playing time is 31 minutes. His performance is quite good. His playing time is not long. The Zen Master used him more than O'Neill.
Also disturbing is the Lakers' "married couple".
Compared with Kobe and Yao Ming, Kobe and Gasol have a tacit understanding. This kind of tacit understanding makes Kobe and San Gao cooperate quite well.
Kobe Bryant's score has dropped a lot now, averaging 25 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists.
Gasol averaged 16 points, 11 rebounds and 4.1 assists. He went on a date with his buttocks girlfriend. Odom, who did not come to the "New Year's Eve party" organized by Liu Mang, averaged 13 points, 9 rebounds and 3.3 assists. The Lakers have four cores. The performance is very coquettish.
Former Hawks defensive fighter Matt Barnes, the average number in the Lakers, but it has been loved by many Lakers fans, compared to the proud Kobe three towers, Barnes tried his best anytime, anywhere This kind of brutality surprised the Lakers fans who were accustomed to the aristocracy.
On February 16, the day of the rookie game, Liu Mang hosted a New Year's Eve party in the villa he rented.
Today, only the Raptors participated in the rookie game. Rondo averaged 3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals. He was selected as the All-Star rookie team.
Tomorrow's three-point contest, Granger and Blake were invited to participate. Liu Mang rejected all invitations to the triathlon this year. In order to increase the attention of the league, starting from the All-Star voting, he promoted the invitation of Liu Mang to participate in the triathlon All events, but Liu Mang did not have that energy.
This morning, after the promotion of the so-called "Spring Festival Limited Edition" Aisi's fifth-generation sneakers, Liu Mang returned to the villa at noon and worked with the two girls on the afternoon party.
Originally Liu Mang wanted his parents to come to Las Vegas for the New Year, but the two old Valentines went to Europe for their own vacation. The world of the two was so high that Liu Mang did not speak, so he hung up the phone. Feeling too expensive for international roaming calls ...
This party, in addition to the Lakers' three major stars plus Wang Zhizhi, and Fisher who participated in the skill challenge, as well as some of the stars who participated in this season's All-Star and Liu Mang, the Eagles coaching staff also came.
When Liu Mang desperately wanted to spray Yao Ming to nowhere, the coaching staff called him to the next room and had something to talk about.
"Ace, we now have two opportunities for reinforcement." Coach Kruger operated the computer and brought up two news items, the two deals concluded today.
Liu Mang looked at it and it was news of the player being cut after two trades.
The Heat sent out Mark Jackson's expiring contract this season and a second-round pick protected by the first 40 picks in 2007, and they received Brandon Bass from the Hornets for two consecutive seasons.
"This transaction ... is again to save money?" Liu Mang feels wonderful about the operation of the counter.
It's too utilitarian.
Brandon Bass ... Liu Mang is impressed, not a particularly good player. After 2010, he had a short average of 10 seasons per game, but there were a lot of injuries, especially Liu Mang ’s intuitive perception of the time and space. Although he is The second round of the show, but the Hornets signed a rookie contract with him for $ 3.49 million for four years. The rookie season was reimbursed. After playing a dozen games this year and reimbursed, the Heat sent Mark Jackson out. In addition to saving money, There is no other possibility.
After the Hornets got Mark Jackson, they cut Mark Jackson. They just wanted to send Brandon Bass away and free up a team place to prevent Brandon Bass from the big injury of four years. The amount guarantees the rookie contract to occupy the future team places.
At the time of the draft, Brandon Bass was quite hot. In the second round, the Hornets thought that it was cheap. After all, they are the best players in the NCAA Southeastern Conference. They averaged 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks in their sophomore season. Who Know that the NBA annual reimbursement.
And with Mark Jackson, there may be a certain increase in the strength of the inside, which leads to problems with their plan to pick the first two picks this year.
As for the Heat's second-round draft pick ... it is almost certainly unavailable. The Heat have dropped out of the top 20 in the league this year and are now ranked fourth from the bottom in the East, successfully "overtaking" the Knicks.
Soon Liu Mang brought the Heat and Hornets to the deal.
The second deal was related to the Magic. The Magic sent Kenyan Doolin and Travis Dinard a total contract of 8.9 million US dollars. Dinard was the second round of the show in 2005. Substituting, he averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game with a 43% three-pointer, but he was only good at three-pointers, and he could do nothing else. His height was only 1.85 meters.
But barely counted as a potential stock, Kenyon Durin ... a complete garbage contract. This season, a total of three years of 16 million contracts, the Magic signed him last summer. He regretted not finishing this season.
Using Dinard as compensation, and also eating the 5.6 million salary junk contract of the Grizzlies' next season's team option Strom Myers Swift, sent Kenyan Durin to the Grizzlies to save salary space.
Swift ’s characteristics are relatively similar to Howard ’s, and it ’s the Ultimate Poor Man ’s version, and it ’s still shorter. After the Magic deal was concluded, Swift was pardoned using the Alan Houston clause.
As for why the amnesty clause was used after the transaction, Liu Mang felt that it was still the word-money!
Amnesty Kenyan Doolin, you have to pay three years salary ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Swift, because it is the team option next season, in fact, if the team option is not implemented, it is no different from the non-guaranteed terms, the Magic Team Amnesty Swift only needs to pay for the remaining 27-78 games, which is the same as the Magic's long-term unwillingness to amneste Grant Hill. The salary is too high, until the Hill Hill actively agreed to buy Break.
Liu Mang looked at the two managers who wanted to be strengthened, and felt that the boss really did not recruit this year! It's so miserable! It's time to wait for another team to buy out players after signing!
Of course, it's not that the players cut by other teams must be very poor. Some teams can play well in the playoffs. They rely on signing players that other teams cut or amnesty.
The layoff and amnesty are not necessarily bad. It may be that the salary is too high. Like Mark Jackson, in the summer of 2005, 15 million salary was added to the Heat. Pat Riley did not get Moning at the time and could only buy it at a large price. A player of similar strength back then.
Swift ... Fortunately, it was the 2000 No. 2 pick, or the Grizzlies themselves. The Rockets spent five years signing after the rookie contract was completed. Later, they were sent back to the Grizzlies with Caron Butler. The data is okay. This season, the center is averaging 9 points and 5 rebounds, but the Grizzlies are aiming at Oden or Horford, so naturally they have to clear their positions in advance.
"Ais, is it appropriate for the two to sign a reinforcement inside? If you do n’t like it, we can just re-select the person, but time is running out. The two are in good physical condition. When the substitute inside can be used, we do n’t Sign, other teams will also grab people, John and Chip have already contacted them. "Coach Kruger said.
"Just them ..." Liu Mang found that the team was really helpless, or could not help asking: "Coach, when did we get so miserable?"
