Chapter 984 983. The future is mine! (seeking subscription)
Duncan accepted Liu Reck's invitation, and many of his teammates had already left, but Duncan watched the awards ceremony on the sidelines. After Liu Reck's words that shocked people, Duncan was frightened!
What kind of courage and arrogance is this?
What Liu Mang said just now cannot be described with self-confidence.
After the awards ceremony was over, Liu Mang walked up to Duncan. Duncan didn't know why Liu Mang let him watch the awards ceremony. It's not like he didn't get them before. They were both members of the double club. Could it be that he just joined the double club and wanted to have a drink together?
Duncan felt this could work.
As for the championship being robbed by the opponent... Duncan feels that he is still young, and he will come again next time. Jordan came back at the age of 33 and won three consecutive championships again.
Since Duncan entered the NBA in the first year in 1997, he discovered that the NBA game is so simple. After just a while, he raised his expectations of himself to the same level as Jordan and Magician.
Seeing Liu Mang walking towards him, Duncan originally wanted to say congratulations.
But Liu Mang patted Duncan on the shoulder and said, "Tim, I'm sorry, you're getting old, the future is mine!"
Just as Duncan opened his mouth, a sentence was blocked in his throat!
Isn't this... what he said to Liu Mang after he was ready to win the third crown?
Throughout the finals, no matter whether he won or lost, even if he was dunked twice by Josh Smith, once by Kwame Brown, and three times in the background, Duncan didn't have much emotional fluctuations, but at this moment, he finally had emotional fluctuations and stared at Liu Mang with wide eyes.
This bastard, steal my brother's pretentious words!
I don’t know if my brother has thought about this sentence for many years?
He followed Liu Wei to the side of Duncan, and was going to interview the second player and the third player who won the championship and regretted losing the championship. He didn't expect to hear Liu Wei's words!
This is simply too proud!
The No.1 active player is undoubtedly O'Neal.
The second and third players... are Duncan and Liu Reck. After Liu Reck won two consecutive championships, the number of championships and FMVPs equaled Duncan. Now O'Neal is starting to age and lose his former courage. From the perspective of honor, the second player in the league is basically competing between Duncan and Liu Reck. If either of them wins the third championship, there is a chance to surpass O'Neal's active honor No.1 title. At this stage, Duncan is still far ahead of Liu Reck. Forward No.1, there are five first defenses and three second defenses. It is still difficult for Liu Mang to surpass Duncan in a short period of time.
But the two have already formed a competition. O'Neill is definitely in the top ten in history, and Liu Mang and Duncan are competing to become another top ten in history, vying to become the top ten goalkeeper in history.
And what Liu Mang said was undoubtedly a direct challenge to Duncan!
The reporters waited for Duncan to answer Liu Mang's words, and Duncan, after a few seconds of being stunned, looked at Liu Mang with a "warm and innocent" smile, laughing non-stop...
Liu Mang, the reporters, the stunned Ginobili who hadn't left, and the rest of the Eagles were all frightened by Duncan's "innocent" smile. Their first reaction was to ask the referee to send this guy out, but after thinking about it, the game was over, and no one could stop this guy's smile...
"Ding... Features: Stubbornness is triggered at level 5. After becoming the most powerful striker in history, the stubborn nature is released, the mentality tends to be more peaceful, and he is more receptive to changes in the way he plays. He is full of expectations and fighting spirit for future challenges. Natural **** is easier to influence the opponent's mentality, from Tim Duncan."
Depend on!Liu Wei didn't expect that what he said made Duncan start the old urchin mode!
……
"Ding... The second phase of the King's Landing mission: the consecutive championships have been completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining a high-level power fruit. The third phase of the King's Landing series of missions will start in the new season."
"Ding... King's Landing Branch Mission: The Future Is Mine has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Tim Duncan skill card: Master of mid-range rebounding and shooting."
"Ding... The Avengers series of missions: The Revenge of the Demon Sword has been completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Manu Ginobili 2004-2005 season star card."
"Ding... The new generation of player king series missions: Suppressing the Demon Knife has been completed. The 2002 players have completed the suppression. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Manu Ginobili feature: Demon Knife, which can be activated with 10000 superstar points."
“叮……恭喜宿主拿到2004-2005赛季总冠军并拿下2004-2005赛季总决赛MVP，奖励巨星值50000。”
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing two consecutive championships. The reward superstar value: 100000."
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for completing two consecutive championships, becoming a contender for the top ten players in NBA history in people's minds, and getting a rogue value of 1000000..."
"Ding……"
"Ding……"
"..."
"..."
……
Back in the locker room, after opening the system panel, Liu Mang looked at a long list of system prompts, and got rich!
The most surprising thing is that I got Di Duncan's rebounding and shooting skills!
This is of greater help to Liu Mang's further development of CIC!
After returning to the locker room, the Eagles continued to celebrate wildly. Beer and champagne were sprayed all over the sky. Liu Mang looked at the system panel and had fun for a while, then joined his teammates in the carnival...
……
……
On June 6th, Liu Mang received a call from Coach Kruger, who asked him to watch the rookie's trial training. There was only one week left before the draft on June 20th.
A week has passed since winning the championship. The team's season-ending celebration banquet, the Eagles championship parade, various interviews, promotional activities for drinks, sneakers, fast food brands, etc. while taking advantage of the heat... Liu Mang has been busy for a whole week.
And after finishing these things, there are other things.
The team's draft trial training has begun. The Eagles have a 30th overall pick and the third overall pick in the second round. There are many rookies who intend to join the Eagles.
Relatively speaking, for teams with lottery picks, there are only 20 to [-] teams participating in the trial training, not too many, because most rookies don't even think about being selected by the lottery.
Teams between the 15th and 20th picks have the largest number of people in trial training. Many people want to fight for this pick and have the opportunity to fight for it. Even if they are predicted to be in the second round, they have a chance to be selected in this position.
The second largest number is between the 21st pick and the top five picks in the second round. The players selected in this range have similar salaries and have a high chance of being upset.
There is also a situation where the Eagles have a potential draft pick trade. After the finals, various trade rumors broke out immediately.
Korver, Calderon, Kwame Brown, and McGrady are four players whose contracts have expired. The first three are restricted free agents, and McGrady is a completely free agent.
On McGrady's side, the fans wanted him to stay on the team, and McGrady switched to the same agent as Liu Mang. McGrady was also very satisfied with the team after winning the championship, and it was almost certain that he would stay on the team.
Korver, Calderon, and Kwame Brown have all received qualification offers and are negotiating new contracts.
However, many teams have already publicly issued trade applications to the Eagles. The offer of restricted free agents has not yet started. This has to wait until the free market opens, and most of the Eagles will not let people go easily.
However, the Eagles are not so easily impressed by these three players that they have cultivated with great difficulty, and they have no plans to trade for the time being.
After the end of the season, both Persson and McCarty announced their retirement, and the Eagles had two vacancies. Mourning still doesn't know whether he will choose to renew his contract or go to other teams to get a pension contract.
After winning the championship last year, there was no way to make a large-scale trade. If Rahim wanted to leave, it would affect the whole body. Adjustments had to be made to change the team's style of play.
Of course, the reinforcement plan will probably have to wait until the free market opens. At this stage, the draft is the focus.
The Eagles can rise, basically relying on the rookie bonus to gather so many stars and taste the sweetness. With a player like Liu Mang who has vision and the "scout ability" of the agency, the Eagles management must of course make good use of this bonus.
In addition to the trade rumors flying all over the league, of course not just the Eagles' trade rumors, the Eagles have won two consecutive championships, and many rumors have come out, just like the big changes in the league every year during the Lakers' three consecutive championships. Duncan almost left the Spurs in 2000.
However, the most discussed on the Internet is not the trading rumors, but Liu Mang's rhetoric about wanting to win three consecutive championships, and the two remarks of "the future is mine" when he patted Duncan.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Liu Mang's big talk and nonsense are all just...
……
After a busy week, before he had time to rest, Liu Mang was called to the arena, but he did not refuse. The end of the finals meant that a new season had begun. This was his team, and he played a big role in many things, such as the upcoming draft, which was related to the long-term plan for the future.
When he arrived at the parking lot, Liu Mang just ran into McGrady who came to the arena with Schwartz.
"Hey, Jeff, Tracy, are you coming to the player training too?" Liu Mang greeted.
"It's not about this, just right, Ace, I have something to do with you, Jeff, you go talk to them first, I'll leave it to you, I have something I want to talk to Ace about." McGrady pushed Schwartz away.
Schwartz responded and left first.
Liu Mang is very strange, why can't I see people?Do you have to tell people behind your back?
After Schwartz left, McGrady looked around and said to Liu Mang, "Ace, do you know why I haven't renewed my contract for so long after the end of the season?"
"I don't know, I don't bother to know, Tracy, you will definitely renew the contract, won't you?" Liu Mang replied with a smile.
Seeing Liu Mang's determined expression, Mai Di smiled wryly and said, "You're right, I was just scared. I was scared for a week, and now I'm finally recovering."
"Tracy, are you scared by my saying that I want three consecutive championships? Kang Mang, what are you worried about?" Liu Mang complained.
"..." This is what McGrady is most worried about. Playing with Liu Mang, he has a bad heart!
Who else but Pat Riley, a madman, would say that scary thing when celebrating after two consecutive championships?
At that time, not only McGrady was scared, but the rest of the Eagles were also scared.
However, Liu Mang said so arrogantly that he wanted to win three consecutive championships. Jason Terry was also so arrogant in an interview afterwards. Rasheed Wallace, Muhammad, Kwame Brown, Calderon, and Korver played in the team for two years.
Three rookies... They didn't dare to say anything. Only McGrady, who has only played for the Eagles for a year, feels like he has entered a magic pit again.
What Liu Mang said at the time was purely out of excitement, but he didn't feel any fear when he said it. Originally, he wanted to create his own dynasty. Now that he has said it, let's do it!
Looking at McGrady's worried look, Liu Mang felt that McGrady wanted to run away a little bit!
This will not work!
Liu Mang's head was running fast, there it is!
Liu Mang hooked McGrady's shoulders, walked with him and said, "Tracey, we are a new generation of Jordan and Pippen, no, we are more powerful than Jordan and Pippen combined, don't you think so?
You are much better than Pippen. He can't win either scoring or assists, but you can do both.
The combination of the two of us has already won two consecutive championships, why not try to win one and three consecutive championships?
This is our time, why not create our own time?There is always a need for a team to rule the NBA. It was the OK combination before, and next, it will be the two of us! "
Liu Mang dragged McGrady and turned on the head of state mode while walking, and McGrady became more and more excited. When he left the Raptors in 2000, he thought about going to the Lakers to help the OK combination and become Pippen, the most dominant combination in history. But the Lakers couldn’t give him the contract he wanted, so he was going to be Pippen for Duncan and Hill.
Anyway, it's enough to lead the team to be the boss, and it's enough to lose. Now it's so cool to be the second child to win!
Moreover, about the establishment of the dynasty mentioned by Liu Reck, McGrady was frightened by Liu Reck's wild words before and wanted to run away, but now, after hearing it like this, McGrady feels very ceremonial!
Create your own dynasty...
It's not all because of what Liu Mang said now that McGrady has such an idea, but because after this season, the belief that McGrady has accumulated has been ignited by Liu Mang.
But... When McGrady came back to his senses, he suddenly found Schwartz, Coach Kruger, and Boss Price in front of him!
"..." Mai Di didn't know when Liu Mang dragged him to the boss's office!
Now that this is the case... let's renew the contract!
