James took Kobe, Durant, 58 and Duoduo, who were destined to become enemies, to the hotel together.

As both emerging point guards of the younger generation, it is inevitable that Rondo and Paul would see each other frequently, especially...the two are from the same company.

This is not a bad thing for Liu Mang. If anyone can't help but want to change companies, Liu Mang can still make another person's money...

McGrady was retained by Liu Mang.

McGrady heard Kobe honking the horn downstairs and asked: "What's wrong, Ace? I just came back from China the day before yesterday. Don't I have to train tomorrow? I'm sleepy and want to go to bed first. Is there something wrong?"

"Uh...it's nothing. Be careful not to catch a cold. It's windy in Miami at night." Liu Mang didn't say much and just made some nonsense.

"Oh...thank you, you are still so attentive." After speaking, McGrady turned around and waved and left.

Liu Mang looked at McGrady's leaving figure and felt that McGrady seemed to be looking forward to training and wanted to take a good rest to prepare for tomorrow's training, which was a bit strange.

Originally, Liu Mang planned to have a serious discussion with McGrady about the issue of fighting spirit.

We didn't talk about it last year because Liu Mang is also a professional player and knows that some things are related to personality. If you don't suffer a little, it will be useless if you remind him. On the contrary, it may cause a rebellious mentality.

Don't they all say that men will always like 18-year-old girls... No, it's because men will never grow up. Men's rebellious psychology will still exist when they are 80 years old.

But unexpectedly, McGrady was already very motivated before even talking about anything.

…

Maddie, who was walking down the stairs, couldn't help but smile.

How could he not guess what Liu Mang wanted to say, but Liu Mang did not continue. Maddie felt that Liu Mang should understand.

…

…

On August 1, 2007, the training of Liu Mang, Kobe and others began.

Liu Mang’s one-on-one application of basic facial skills and triple threat stance.

Rondo is mainly responsible for defending Liu Mang and practicing free throws.

Chip Engelland, who flew from Atlanta to help Liu Mang and others train on the 1st, is not looking forward to Rondo's other aspects. As long as Rondo can practice free throws to an average level, his strength will definitely improve a lot. He is not afraid of rushing in.

Got chopped.

The point guard has been cut off, and other teams besides the Hawks are really hard to find.

McGrady and James were sparring, and Kobe was practicing shooting with his eyes closed like a lunatic...

Paul is practicing cooperation with Durant. Durant did not play in the summer league, but he experienced a stronger NBA atmosphere in the American training team. The worst people there are Rondo, so Durant can get to know him well.

I looked at the gap between myself and NBA superstars.

After Liu Mang and others started training, a few days later, on August 6, 2007, the United States Blue Association announced the list of superstars who will represent the United States team in the Beijing Olympics next year after this year's training camp.

Based on this topic, the NBA official website specially gave a topic.

"The American Basketball Dream"

Referred to as the American Dream, the American Basketball Association announced that the four veteran superstars, Kobe, Kidd, Tracy McGrady, and Carter, are determined to participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics with the United States team if they are not injured.

The 2003 generation of James Williams, Kwame Brown, Boozer, Howard, Iguodala, Josh Smith, Paul, Reed... and many other young talents all agreed during the Pan American Basketball Championship

Joined the training team before the 2008 Olympic Games.

This time...the American team has lost its dignity!

After the Chinese team won the championship in the 2006 World Championships, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter, and Kidd announced that they would definitely participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. This time they fulfilled their promise and joined the candidate list.

With American Blue Association Chairman Colangelo asking for help and David Stern helping to promote it, for the first time in more than ten years, NBA superstars have so enthusiastically joined the national team.

Of course, the point is that the United States has failed to reach the finals of three consecutive World Series.

Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant, the two No. 24 players in the NBA, represent the superstars from China and the United States. Basketball fans' expectations for this Olympics have skyrocketed.

The NBA and USA Basketball Association announced the first roster of the U.S. training team for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, making this already hot summer even hotter.

Time Magazine also joined in the fun and gave the headline - "America's Best Players Take Action": The two best basketball players in the world will face off in the largest Olympics in history!

…

"When Americans lost in the past, they often said: We haven't sent out our best players. Now, America's best players are out."

Liu Mang shook the international version of Time magazine in his hand and said to McGrady and James who were dancing: "Hey, LeBron, look, Tracy, are you talking about that guy? America is the best.

Players are dispatched? Doesn’t it mean that you are not as good as him?"

Kobe was sitting on an armchair at a table across from Liu Mang, drinking a cocktail and almost choked to death.

"You're not going to turn your back on anyone when you stir up dissension?" Kobe really wanted to strangle this bastard to death.

James came over and read the passage that Liu Mang just read, and it was really written like that!

Silently handing the magazine back to Liu Mang, James continued to think about dance steps.

McGrady then came over and took the magazine and read it, without saying anything, and put it back in Liu Mang's hand. McGrady was so speechless... "Are you even angry with your teammates? Are you going to do whatever it takes to win the national team?"

"You're not stimulated?" Liu Mang was so sad. He thought he could start provoking conflicts among the three main players of the American team early.

Rondo, who was sitting next to Liu Mang, watched Liu Mang do all these things and felt that his life was miserable. His boss's urine quality has not changed even though he is 25 years old...

Paul and Durant at the other table didn't know what to say. Liu Mang and Kobe were recognized as mortal enemies in the NBA world. From the 1999-2000 season to the present, in the past eight seasons, except for the Spurs, they had won one championship.

All championships were taken away by these two people.

In the past four years, the two have won and lost each other. Liu Mang won three championships, Kobe Bryant won one, and they met three times in the finals. They were incompatible...

But the two of them can still sit on the beach together, drink cocktails, watch Tracy McGrady and James dance, and train together...

But the two of them acted like they wanted to make each other angry to death...

But Liu Mang’s girlfriends seemed to have a very good relationship with Kobe’s wife Vanessa. On the first rest day after they started training, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, and James’s wife all came to Miami and formed a group to go everywhere.

Went shopping.

This makes Paul and Durant, the new talented combination, very puzzled...

It was also the first time for Paul to participate in the training of Liu Mang, Kobe and others. It was the first time that Paul felt this strange atmosphere. He was as confused as Durant...

"How did these two guys become the top two in the world and win so many championships? Are the champions such weirdos? Wait a minute!"

The two suddenly thought that O'Neal and Duncan were not "normal humans"!

Moreover, these four people have won all the championships since Jordan retired!

…

Every two days of training and one day off, this is the training schedule formulated by Chip Englander and Mark Madsen for Liu Mang and others.

In addition to the training of basic basketball skills, other training is arranged by the two trainers of the Eagles.

Even Kobe and James, two training madmen, adhere to this matter of relaxation and relaxation. They pay great attention to the maintenance of their bodies.

Otherwise, Kobe would not have been able to maintain his level in the seventeenth year of his career, and James would not have been called the number one player in 2020.

Every two days of training, Kobe and James will take a day off with the others. Kobe is more withdrawn. He stays in his room watching game videos or teasing his daughter when not training. American women are also tough. Vanessa's third child is already seven years old.

It's been more than a month, and I still go shopping like a normal person, leaving my two daughters with Kobe.

James prefers to go out with his training partners, and Miami is a good place.

But... In addition to spending time with his family when necessary, Liu Mang also had to practice for half a day during his break... After drinking a little wine, he was the first to arrive at the training ground the next day...

Kobe, James, and Tracy McGrady are already used to it. Kobe and Liu Mang didn't win even though they spent training time, not to mention the other two, they have long been used to it.

But the three young players in grades 1, 2 and 3 next season feel like it’s too exaggerated...

…

…

Time passed very quickly, and the 20 days of training that Liu Mang and others expected, that is, the 30 days of training together, passed quickly.

By August 30, everyone except Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Rondo will have to leave.

During this period, Liu Mang's triple threat... he practiced very hard and tried to learn from Kobe.

But after pestering him for a long time, on the 26th, which was Liu Mang’s birthday a few days ago, he finally forced Kobe to agree to teach him. Liu Mang also spent 50,000 superstar points to learn quickly...

As a result, Liu Mang found that it was almost the same as his own practice! In just three days, he had mastered the basic triple threat moves that originally took time to practice.

The triple-threat style of play pays more attention to actual combat experience. Masters of the triple-threat style of play such as Kobe, Anthony, and Pierce have all used this move as a common offensive method since high school or even junior high school.

McGrady only learned it after entering the NBA, and the effect of using it is similar to the three of them, but McGrady can't say how he became so proficient in it.

Rondo's defense is very good, and Tracy McGrady's defense is not bad either. Occasionally, he would practice with Kobe... But in the sparring session, Liu Mang's triple threat performance was very average.

You can only slowly polish your experience by facing various opponents in real games.

Liu Mang was dissatisfied with the speed of his progress, and everyone else was about to collapse!

Mainly Kobe, he saw with his own eyes that Liu Mang's skills in this area were very raw except for his fast shooting speed before learning from him, but after practicing for three days... regardless of shooting percentage and temporary reactions, the movements of the triple threat stance

In terms of adjusting and responding to changes when he has time, Liu Mang's actions are similar to Kobe himself...

On the evening of the 30th, as in the past many years, there was a house party at the end of training. This time it was Liu Mang's turn to be the host.

Kobe, who was slightly drunk, was walking back to a nearby hotel not far away. Under the astonished eyes of James, McGrady, and three young players in the first, second, and third grade, he looked up to the sky and roared: "I, Kobe Bryant, even if I
