"Wait, I'll be here soon... The preseason doesn't matter? It doesn't matter. We can't lose... Accompanying children and pregnant women? How can the game be important? I love the game. If I don't play for a day, I feel uncomfortable..."

After Liu Mang finished speaking, he hung up the phone and started the engine. The little girl who had just returned from the school activities had already helped Liu Mang open the gate of the yard, and Liu Mang drove away as fast as he could in his car.

Alexia was stopped by Levia and Liu Mang's mother and did not chase her to the car. When she saw Liu Mang running away, Alexia finally couldn't help but laugh.

The baby is just born and has been soaked in amniotic fluid for so many months. It is wrinkled at first. It is not as beautiful as the borrowed babies seen on TV. That is just for the sake of beautiful TV pictures.

Alexia was furious at the time, but seeing Liu Mang's embarrassed look, it was so funny.

Seeing Alexia change from furious to laughing, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Stop making trouble Aida, go back and lie down to rest, your vitality is greatly weakened now!" Liu Mang's mother said dissatisfiedly, how could a new mother in confinement make such a fuss.

Doctors and nurses who were so frightened also came to help Alexia for examination. Fortunately, she was fine.

Alexia immediately followed her and lay down obediently, and began to enjoy the confinement feeling that ordinary Americans do not have.

Levia once again began to envy Alexia, who had begun the life of a Chinese woman in confinement...

Shortly after Liu Mang left, he received a call in the afternoon and Alexia's parents came from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They just missed it and Alexia's parents came to see their daughter who had just given birth.

Lancaster is the largest agricultural town in Pennsylvania. It has a large area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers and a population of only about 100,000. Almost all of them are farmers. They are not considered wealthy, but under the U.S. Agricultural Protection Act, there are no

Possibility of unemployment.

Alexia's parents are corn farmers in Lancaster, considered a middle-class family.

Americans are quite independent and free. When most people raise their children, they become members of another family. Alexia became completely financially independent after graduating from college. Her parents knew that their daughter was dating an NBA superstar.

They did not interfere, nor did they try to ask for money or things. They were parents with very upright views.

The in-laws came. Although there were two in-laws, one of them came. The two elders paid great attention to it. After making the phone call in the afternoon, they were ready to receive the in-laws, but Liu Mang ran away first...

…

…

Liu Mang's absence has a huge impact on the Eagles' strength.

Moreover, the Eagles never expected that Liu Mang, who had been taking a nap just now, would suddenly ask for leave and go home when he woke up.

But Coach Kruger couldn't refuse yet, and he didn't want to refuse. The child of his most proud disciple was born. Even if it was the regular season, if Liu Mang wanted to go back because of this, he would agree without hesitation.

This kind of thing comes suddenly. A pregnant woman's amniotic fluid breaks, and the baby may be born within an hour or two at the earliest. For a father, missing out on the birth of his child and not being with his wife during the most difficult time of giving birth is absolutely unacceptable.

It's a lifelong regret.

But in this way, the team's two days of preparation were in vain.

The core of the Hawks' tactics are Tracy McGrady and Rasheed Wallace; the substitutes are Iguodala, Calderon, and Josh Smith.

But the target of tactical services is Liu Mang, and the first endpoint option of tactics is Liu Mang.

Liu Mang is gone and no one else can take his place.

Jason Terry is a pure finisher, the type who distributes the ball in individual isolations. If McGrady wants him to score immediately, he can do it. He scored 17 points at halftime, which was an outstanding performance, but he only had two assists.

Live broadcast across the United States, even if it is a preseason game, the Eagles want to win.

McGrady played very hard. In the second half, despite Wade's defense, he made 6 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 3 of 5 free throws. He scored 17 points.

However, the Hawks made "mistakes" in their tactical preparation. The opponent played aggressively and had a big change from last season. Wade offset McGrady, the Hawks' absolute strength, and scored 15 points at halftime.

Jason Terry is tough and O'Neal is really tough. O'Neal is a threat inside and can pass the ball. Jason Terry scored 13 points in the half and O'Neal scored 11 points and 3 assists in the half.

Mainly because of Jason Williams, who scored 6 points and 6 assists in the half, hit two three-pointers, and can pass and shoot. The Heat spent a lot of money this time, signing him for 24 million in three years.

White Chocolate played very well and relieved Wade of the pressure to organize the offense.

The Eagles trailed by 11 points 43 to 54 at halftime.

The Eagles' main problem lies on the offensive end. The defense did a good job in the second quarter, allowing the Heat to only score 23 points in a single quarter, but the Eagles only scored 22 points.

Except for McGrady and Jason Terry, who combined for 30 points, the rest of the Hawks only scored 13 points in the half.

Without Liu Mang, the offense of the role players with Liu Mang as a checkpoint all stagnated.

Iguodala and Josh Smith are very talented, and Liu Mang can play very well with them. But without Liu Mang, they encountered the Heat, which is considered one of the top six teams in the league. Their performance

Far less exciting than the previous six preseason games.

Coach Kruger had a headache during the halftime break. The players wanted to fight hard, but were preparing to make "mistakes." McGrady was focused on scoring, so he had to rely on passing the ball when being double-teamed. He could not guide the ball in the way he usually did.

Get teammates to join.

This is McGrady's flaw, he cannot balance so much energy and physical strength.

Just when Coach Kruger had a headache, Liu Mang called and said that he would come back to lead the team to victory, and also made a lot of nonsense.

Coach Kruger ignored Liu Mang, arranged the defense, and the offense was directed at McGrady and Jason Terry.

After the start of the second half of the game, the Eagles were still at a disadvantage. The opponent played very actively, especially O'Neal. The season had just begun. In the summer, he was stretched by Pat Riley to improve his physical fitness. Now he is in good condition. After the start of the second half, he continued to fight Kwame Brown.

Dry.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kwame Brown has gained 122 kilograms and has an advantage against most centers. However, the opponent is O'Neal, or O'Neal at the beginning of the Heat era, and he continues to be suppressed.

beat.

Midway through the third quarter, the Eagles were 15 points behind, 53-68.

After being countered for 14 points in the first half of the quarter, Pat Riley's halftime arrangement for the Hawks' defense worked in the third quarter. The Heat continued to widen the point difference in the third quarter.

Coach Kruger called timeout again.

It’s just a preseason game, do you want to keep fighting?

Although it is broadcast live across the United States, Coach Kruger is also considering whether it is worth it. This is just a preseason game.

At this time, the scene, which had been almost quiet, suddenly became agitated!

This situation... seems to have happened several times when a new father came on the bench. Coach Kruger immediately looked towards the tunnel, and sure enough, he was here!

only……

Why is the picture so obscene?

…

Liu Mang drove to the arena. After a 30-minute drive, he arrived in just over 20 minutes. When he arrived at the arena, he threw his car keys to the security guard in the parking lot. The security guard in the parking lot saw Liu Mang coming and knew what happened.

It’s okay, I shouted “Come on.”

Liu Mang thanked him, then rushed to the passage leading to the training ground, went straight to the locker room, took down the hanging jersey, and rushed to the player tunnel, taking off his training clothes while rushing.

Fortunately, Liu Mang was still wearing the team's training uniform when he rushed home. When he rushed to the players' tunnel, Liu Mang had already taken off his shirt and put on his jersey, and was taking off his pants with one foot and putting on his football shorts.

One trouser leg, and the trousers on the other side of the training uniform were still hanging. Coach Kruger happened to see this scene when he turned his head.

The fans at the scene became agitated. Before the game started, boss Price had notified DJ, asking DJ to explain the reason for Liu Mang's absence today after the live broadcast started and before the game started. Such a thing as a national live broadcast must be explained.

Although the fans at the scene and in front of the TV regretted that this preseason game had lost most of its excitement, a child is about to be born, which is a great event. Most of the fans who are willing to spend money to watch the preseason game live are the Eagles.

He has a good relationship with Heat fans, Liu Mang, Wade, and O'Neal. Heat fans only regard the Hawks as opponents, not as mortal enemies. Whether it is the Eagles fans and Heat fans at the scene, or most of the people in front of the TV

Fans all maintain a tolerant attitude.

Most of the comments on the Internet about this news after the game started were blessings.

Therefore, the fans at the scene never expected that Liu Mang would come at this time!

There is no doubt that when this time comes, the child will be born smoothly.

Then, now the Eagles are lagging behind. Although there are two to three thousand fans from the visiting team, most of them are Eagles fans, and the scene suddenly becomes tense!

After clumsily changing his jersey and pants, Liu Mang ran to the bench.

Seeing Liu Mang change his jersey and run to the bench, the fans cheered.

My teammates felt so ashamed!

They worked so hard today. In addition to the national live broadcast, they also wanted to win a victory to celebrate Liu Mang becoming a father.

Who knows, the other party will work harder!

Moreover, except for the two big perimeter players on the Eagles' side, others also performed very poorly.

Coach Kruger was not in a hurry to set up tactics or anything, it was just a preseason game.

"How is Aida?" Coach Kruger asked, and his teammates gathered around him. Wade and O'Neal from the Heat team saw Liu Mang coming and came over, wanting to know the result.

"It went smoothly, one man and one woman." Liu Mang answered simply.

"Congratulations, Ace." Wade came and hugged Liu Mang.

"Wow, it's great to have a son and a daughter all at once. I also want to have a daughter. Congratulations to you Ace." O'Neal also hugged Liu Mang.

Liu Mang said thank you twice, but when he arrived at O'Neal's place, he heard O'Neal say that he wanted a daughter... Liu Mang thought of the female version of O'Neal, and felt that O'Neal should not affect a woman's life...

After O'Neal and Wade finished their blessings, they went back to their own places. They were still in the game, so it was pretty good to come and give them blessings.

The referee knew that Liu Mang had gone home to wait for his girlfriend to give birth to the baby and rushed to the scene. The matter was already over without urging a timeout. In the preseason, even in the regular season, the referee will give face to special circumstances, such as in the future.

When Kobe Bryant was on tour and the Timberwolves surpassed Jordan in total points, the referee stopped the game for a long time, not to mention this was the home court of the Eagles.
