From today on is the king

Chapter 27 27. Coach, you are playing with me!

The training in the afternoon was very simple. After Liu Mang showed his skills, the team practiced 5V5 tactical moves for a while. Coach Kruger dismissed the training. There was a game at [-] o'clock in the evening, so the players had a rest.

Liu Mang went home and drove the beautiful landlord's Lamborghini to pick up Dinah and Alexia to watch TV together.

The Eagles’ football market is so-so. Atlanta’s sports are very strong. Atlanta’s NFL team, the Falcons, is one of the strongest teams in American football, occupying most of the Atlanta market. Of course, American football and basketball do not conflict. It is very common for many local die-hard sports fans to like the Eagles and the Falcons together.

In addition to the Major League Baseball team Atlanta-Warriors and ice hockey NHL Songbirds, Atlanta has all four major leagues, but the strength of these two teams is average, not the opponents of the Eagles and Falcons, and their popularity is far inferior to these two teams.

However, even so, the attendance rate of the Eagles is only a little over 90.00%. In the middle of the NBA, it is not as good as Cleveland, a small town with only one team from the four major leagues.

Liu Mang went to Coach Kruger to ask for two frontcourt seats and was not rejected. Anyway, playing against the Knicks, the attendance rate is average, and the ticket price is also cheap. Liu Mang saved more than 1000 dollars because of this.

Liu Mang drove to the gate of Dinah's school. Just as he parked the car, he saw two women, one big and one small, wearing masks and hats, hurried over.

"Senior Aida? Dinah?" Liu Mang opened the car door, and two beauties, big and small, who had their heads tightly wrapped came up.

"Ace, hurry up, there are reporters everywhere!" Alexia hurriedly urged.

"Reporter?" Liu Mang looked around, and sure enough, he found the cowering paparazzi behind the newsstand on the street corner.

Depend on!When did the young master get so much attention, and there are even paparazzi guarding him!
Liu Mang didn’t know that because the NFL is in the middle of the season in November, players are exhausted, and fans are also fatigued. The attention of the NFL from late October to November is the lowest in their entire regular season. This is also the reason why the NBA started the regular season at the end of October and early November. However, there has been no popularity. U.S. Weekly accidentally photographed Liu Mang's gossip. After the Eagles' boss gave the Atlanta local media permission, they naturally prepared to film something. No matter how small the news is, it's meat!
Liu Mang immediately started the engine and drove to the Phillips Arena.

Although being guarded by paparazzi is a bit annoying, Liu Mang felt very strange: "Senior sister, Dinah, isn't it just being photographed by reporters? What are you doing with your head wrapped up? Isn't it good to put it in the newspaper?"

After leaving the school, the beauties breathed a sigh of relief, and Alexia and Dinah took off their hats and masks.

"God! Ace, don't you know how troubled ordinary people like us are by going to gossip magazines! My phone almost got blown up by my friends last night, and I even unplugged the phone line!" Alexia complained.

"That's right, those classmates recognized Dinah, and they all came to surround Dinah, they were so annoying, Dinah didn't admit it, if Dinah's pretty face was photographed, those classmates would definitely annoy Dinah to death!" Little Lolita Dinah was also complaining.

"..." Liu Mang ignored the little loli who was holding his face, she was too narcissistic!
but……

"Senior sister, you have changed a lot." Liu Mang felt a little emotional. Although he did not experience it personally, his impression of this senior sister in his memory was that she liked to show off in everything. There was no way Alexia would hide from reporters in the past. If a reporter wanted to take a picture of her, she would definitely put on the best clothes and put on makeup for hours.

"People change." Alexia tidied her messy hair in a hat, "Are Ace's tickets free?"

"Of course, even though I'm still a substitute, I still have to get two tickets." Liu Mang decisively saved his face. Thanks to the lack of attention to today's game, the management kept a spare ticket for business partners or officials who might come to watch the game.

In fact, Coach Kruger gave him side tickets at first, but Liu Mang felt that the side tickets were too dangerous, and he needed to sign a commitment contract, that is, the kind of contract that only needs to be compensated by the insurance company in case of being injured by a player.

"That's good, even if the tickets for our Eagles team are cheap, the side tickets will cost hundreds of dollars! Miss Ben has saved a fortune!"

"..." Liu Mang didn't continue talking, and it would not be a good thing to say more.

Arriving at a shopping mall about one kilometer away from the Phillips Arena, Liu Mang parked his car there and did not go directly to the Happy Arena, because both Alexia and Dinah Xiaoluoli refused to be known to be close enough to NBA players to go to the game together.

After giving the ticket to Alexia and asking her to help take care of Dinah, Liu Mang returned to the Phillips Center alone. The two beauties, one big and one small, were going to buy some snacks to watch the game. They mainly entered the arena separately from Liu Mang.

Who wouldn't want to hit the streets with a big beauty?Liu Mang didn't think too much about other things, the main reason was that he had a lot of face!

Regrettably, he returned to the arena alone. To Liu Mang's surprise, Coach Kruger was waiting for him outside the locker room.

"Coach, are you waiting for me?" Liu Mang said in surprise.

Originally a related family, after coach Kruger selected Liu Mang into the Eagles, he did not act too warmly, but became stricter.

Coach Kruger said directly: "Ace, prepare well. You may play in regular time and use your speed to defend Houston. Can you do it? This is your opportunity to move forward after you sit firmly at the end of the bench."

Appearing at regular time?

Very good!Liu Mang couldn't wait.

But Liu Mang was dumbfounded in the second half of the sentence, guarding against Alan Houston?Is that the protagonist of the first-generation amnesty clause, Alan Houston?
Depend on!This year's new Mr. Billionaire!Last season's All-Star guard!

Liu Mang is a little bit about to cry, coach, you are playing with me!
……

……

Liu Mang was standing next to the player tunnel in his training uniform and gave today's starter a high-five. Today he was still sitting on the bench honestly, waiting for the coach to flip the sign.

But today the coach told in advance that he would flip his own brand, Liu Mang was a little excited.

Looking at the outside line of the Knicks, Liu Mang really felt incredible. How did the Knicks become the grave of future stars with such a core lineup?
Look at the Knicks outside.

Mark Jackson, the historical point guard who just surpassed Magic Johnson to rank third in assists.

Alan Houston, an All-Star shooting guard who averaged 20+ per game.

The dream team's main outside line with an average of 20+4+4 per game, the former superstar who was selected to the first team of the best team in the second grade, and the madman Latrio Sprewell who was still selected as an All-Star at the age of 31 last season.

Just looking at this outside line, the Eagles' scalp is numb!
If these three guys were two or three years younger, it would be painful for Jordan and Pippen to deal with them.

Fortunately, these three guys have entered the end of their careers. Alan Houston just got a big contract, but Liu Mang knows that he is not far from retirement. In two or three years, the Knicks will force the league to come up with a Houston clause.

But now, Alan Houston has not been injured, and he is at his peak at the age of 30. Although Madman and Mark Jackson are old, they are still very difficult for the Eagles.

Especially Alan Houston, who can run too well.
