: 211. Public Enemies in the West

"God is unfair!" Emmanuel sighed in the sky.
"Sorry, we don't believe in God, only the God of Wealth Guan Erye." Liu Mang shot a ball to Emmanuel.
"Then it's even more unfair. Only you in the NBA are blessed by the God of Wealth alone. There are too many people that God wants to bless. It's not my turn." Emmanuel continued to sigh: "Think about how we used to keep drinking Machine, now you are an All-Star, I am still guarding the drinking fountain. "
"I have a way, you can also enter the All-Star." Liu Mang said helplessly.
"What way! Can I become as popular as Sharif as an All-Star?" Emmanuel asked excitedly.
"Much simpler than that." Liu Mang smiled.
"Tell me! Real brothers, Ace. We have been brothers forever!" Emmanuel jumped up in excitement.
"Go to buy a piece of tofu and die, and you may enter in your next life." Liu Mang couldn't help laughing.
"What is tofu?" Emmanuel's focus is always strange.
"Ah, then change it to pudding."
"... Aise, you are going to die!"
After a while, Liu Mang's training was almost over.
Yesterday afternoon, the NBA announced that the Timberwolves handsome guy Szebiak and the Hawks ’Ace Liu respectively replaced the injured East and West tickets into the All-Star game. Not only did they throw nuclear bombs at home, but they also caused uproar in the US. .
These two players are not weak in terms of strength, but to say that at the All-Star level, Szebiak averaged 18 + 4 + 3 and Liu Mang averaged 16 + 1 + 3. From the data, Only Alonzo Mourning's 16 + 8, who can get into the All-Star game by mixing faces, can fight.
Of course, it is from the weak side.
Liu Mang was selected as a second-round rookie and was selected as a substitute for the All-Star game.
First, Liu Mang was the first player to be selected as an All-Star substitute in the rookie year as a second-round rookie. Second, Liu Mang was the first player to be selected as an All-Star substitute in the club.
It is not that the club team has become a substitute for the All-Star, that is Kobe in 1998, but then Kobe was the All-Star starter selected by the fans, and the non-coach and unofficial directly selected by strength.
Liu Mang has become the historical "first person" in this regard! In addition, there is a feeling of no one before and no one after.
For a time, there were growing doubts about the candidates for the two candidate All-Stars selected by the NBA headquarters, especially against Liu Mang, a rookie. At the same time, many people felt that this choice was nothing. The big problem, the reason is that the appearance of Liu Mang has caused earthshaking changes to the Hawks.
Anyway, it's noisy!
No matter which country there is no lack of love to join in the lively, join together, they quarreled.
But there are also people with clear brains.
A very new post appeared on the biggest fan forum.
"Have anyone found out that almost all Western Conference star starters have hatred with Ace Liu?"
Soon, this post, which was different from noisy, slobbering, etc., suddenly caught fire.
"This view is very interesting, you didn't say I didn't find it!"
"Gosh, Liu is too pitiful, as if he defeated the two most paranoid guys in the west! When these two high school students come together, Liu will be crying!"
"It's hard to say, Liu's mouth is also very poisonous."
"It's so interesting this time, will Liu also perform a magical performance on the All-Star? Unfortunately, this is Iverson's All-Star."
"What should I do, I am an Iverson fan, but I also want to see Liu defeat Kobe again!"
"Wait, it seems that Rahim also mocked OK, oh my god, so looking forward to it!"
"Haha, so am I ..."
"..."
"..."
Even in a sinister world, there will always be those who appear in your world, like a stream of clear water, which may not bring you warmth, but will always bring something different to your world.
In this year, when a person is going to be hacked, as long as Black Kobe is right, anyway, whatever is going to pull on Kobe and the Lakers, hatred is instantly pulled away by this team and this player.
The wind of public opinion has always become confusing ...
...
...
At noon on February 7, the NBA announced the roster of All-Star rookies and triathlons.
The All-Star rookie lineup is:
First-year teams: Jason Richardson, Jamal Tinsley, Paul Gasol, Sean Battier, Brendan Haywood, Ace Liu, Tony Parker, Joe Johnson, Gilbert Arenas.
Gilbert Arenas withdrew due to injury and was replaced by previous player Andrei Kirilenko. This is also the first time that a rookie who was selected in the past but did not enter the NBA in the previous year plays an All-Star rookie game.
Sophomore teams: Quentin Richardson, Mike Miller, Kenyon Martin, Lee Nailong, Chris Meme, Marcus Fizer, Dalius Myers, Dai Smond Mason, Hedo Turkoglu.
The first-year lineup is already terrible enough. Looking at the second grade, it is even worse than the first grade. Kenyan Martin, the best performer of the second grade, only averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds per game, which is Sean Battier ’s level.
There are not many people who pay attention to the All-Star rookie game. First, the quality of the rookies in the past two years is too poor. Just looking at the lineup will know that it is definitely the performance time of the first-year players.
More importantly, since the 2000 East-West rookie match was suddenly turned into a sophomore match, the visibility is not much. At that time, it was to make up for the failure to host the All-Star Weekend in 1999, and the 1998 rookie failed to play in the All-Star game. They made appearances on the weekends, so make up for them. Since 98 and 99 are still draft years, they played fiercely, and then the NBA official determined this type of first- and second-year confrontation.
As a result, the rookie dish in 2000 had to be chopped. The second-year students of the 99th class were playing dunk contests and had no resistance against the first-year slam dunk contest, which made the fans disappointed. There has never been a difference of more than 5 points.
After watching this year's rookie, except for two or three who have seen it, there is nothing else.
Among them, the highly anticipated Ace Liu was selected to the All-Star Game. The last rookie selected to the All-Star Game was Duncan, and Duncan retired directly from the rookie game.
After the list of slam dunk contests announced the attention is much higher than the rookie match, but unfortunately the final list is very disappointing fans.
The four final dunk contest participants were Desmond Mason, Jason Richardson, Gerald Wallace, and Steve Francis.
Only Francis participated in the popular selection.
The three-point contest was a pleasant surprise for Ray Allen. The others included Ace Liu, Mike Miller, Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Quentin Richardson, Steve Smith, Peja Stojakovic.
The three-point game that was the most unnoticed before the All-Star game was turned into the most eye-catching project. Except Pierce and Big Q, the other three are all three-pointers with a shooting percentage of more than 40% and an average per game. At least two three-pointers scored in the game.
When all the big names in the NBA weekend are announced.
People who had been arguing for Liu Mang's All-Star game before were suddenly speechless.
Not to mention, not to mention, not to mention that XX did not participate in a certain event, so lost, seeing that almost every list has the same name, even on both entertainment events ...
In addition to the dunk contest, this rookie really participated in 5 of the 6 games in 3 days!
...
...
Liu Mang ’s teammates are also shocked. This rookie really participates in all competitions and wants to occupy the rhythm of the TV screen on the All-Star weekend!
Liu Mang was selected for the All-Star game, but the happiest ones were Jason Terry and Rahim, while the others were happy, but they signed up for Liu Mang and NBA players more than shooting. The league also agreed , Don't laugh too much.
In the ridicule of some bad teammates, with Jason Terry and Rahim singing a black song similar to "believe in love with a family", Liu Mang shrinked in the corner of the training ground of Phillips Arena and did not know to cry Should still laugh.
"Ding ... The system issued a reward mission: Five Star Yao Philadelphia."
"By relying on their own efforts and the good luck of Tianshi Renhe, they successfully won the All-Star Game in the rookie season and created multiple records, so the system issued special reward tasks."
"Five Star Yao Philadelphia: The host has registered and successfully selected the five items of the competition, each time they get one of the best, reward the system for a random number of intermediate draws (Note: full of rogue value draws and superstar value draws including all props. ), If the five best are successfully collected, the five-star shining is all completed, and the five-time system-wide random draw can be exchanged for a designated prop lottery. Failure punishment: none. "
It's really good to be accidentally selected as an All-Star substitute! This task is equivalent to giving away bonuses! Although the full randomness is a bit worse than the super star value draw, it is a little better than the rogue value draw, as for the five stars shining ...
If it was just this task, Liu Mang would not cry and laugh again.
"Ding ... The host has grudges with more than 5 All-Star players in the West, and successfully collected the hatred of most All-Star players in the West. The task trigger condition is met, and the task is triggered: the Western enemy."
"Public Enemies in the West: The most powerful All-Star players in the West will draw all the All-Stars in the West against the host. Task 1: The host needs to lead the Eastern All-Star to defeat the Western All-Star. 2: Get the All-Star MVP. Complete 1 task to get One Western All-Star Random Star Card, complete two missions to get one Western All-Star Random Star Card and one current All-Star Player Random Star Card. Failure Penalty: .T Sports TV commentator Charles Barkley requests to be together A total of pole dancing. "
Daddy, this is it!
Liu Mang discovered that the Western Conference quarterfinals seemed to have been offended except for the Mavericks and the King! The Spurs didn't seem to offend much, but Duncan is an honest man! All-stars are more serious, he is really more real! The King and Mavericks' All-Star players, except for Chris Webb, are playing soy sauce at most.
The All-Star players in the West are almost all of the top eight teams. The only ones that are not the top eight teams are Francis and Brand. Brand seems to have a scandal with Jessica Alba during his time. When he came out and mocked himself, let alone Francis, Liu Mang felt a bleak future ...
This is still considering that he has a lot of playing time in the All-Star Game because his opponents are unable to complete the task. Liu Mang thought about it for a long time. These factors may not even touch the task and fail! How could I have so much time to play for MVP!
"Ding ... In view of the host's difficulty in completing the task of public enemy in the west, there is almost no possibility of completion. The system specifically provides temporary skills: 1. Absolute leader (temporary). 2. On-coach coach (temporary)."
"Absolute leader: has the absolute voice and leadership of the team. (Valid until 23:59 on February 17, 2002.)"
"Coach on the court: have coach-like authority and guidance in the game. (Valid until 23:59 on February 17, 2002.)"
Liu Mang shrinks in the corner, what the system gives is really awesome! But what's the use! You have to be the Kruger coach for the All-Star coach ... um?
Liu Mang, who was heartbroken and happy, suddenly remembered that if there were not too many accidents, wouldn't the Eastern Coach be his own coach in the All-Star Game?
The Hawks are now 33 wins and 15 losses. There are 4 games before the All-Star weekend. The second place is the 32 wins and 16 losses of the Nets. After the Nets entered January, they were worse than the Hawks and were directly overtaken by the Hawks. Too.
But after the Hawks had 3 wins and 3 losses in the last 6 games, the Nets have chased the record gap to only 1 win, not far from the Hawks!
But for the dying, the Hawks next back to back, first at home and then away from the Nets!
These two games! Liu Mang's eyes flashed, he must win!
Fatality Buckley did pole dancing together ... No, Liu Mang's voice is that we must maintain the number one position in the East!
"System boss, the two skills provided are now valid, right?" Liu Mang asked.
"Yes, before the effective time of the skill arrives, it will be effective for a long time."
Liu Mang feels that there is nothing that cannot be solved by one skill, one skill can't be done ... then only choose masked pole dancing.
"Hoo, try absolute leadership first!" Liu Mang was a little scared, and he was just a rookie! Come out like a boss to make teammates obedient, will be killed? Will it still be killed?
Try it!
Liu Mang came to the center of the training ground, his hands trembling and clapped his hands, attracting the attention of his teammates.
"OK, everyone come and listen to me!" Liu Mang's voice was a little weak.
But what made Liu Mang feel more comfortable was that although his teammates were puzzled, they all gathered around, including Jason Terry and Rahim.
In fact, Liu Mang itself has a certain level of leadership, plus the temporary skills of absolute leadership, and his words about the game have become very important to his teammates.
According to the thoughtful words, Liu Mang took a deep breath and said: "OK, we are now the first in the East, but our recent game situation is not good, and the opponent we are about to face is the East East. The biggest enemy of us, we ca n’t be a little lax in the next two games. I hope everyone can join me and work hard to overcome the Nets and widen the gap with them! Hold the first place in the East! "
Liu Mang's remarks ... didn't mention it at all, and it was not contagious. It was a very ordinary goal declaration. Sure enough, there was no piapiapia applause from the legendary team leader.
To be honest, Liu Mang can do a good job as a leader on the field, and he can't give him absolute leadership off the field.
But the effect is still good.
"Ace is right! The first is already ours, and no one can take him away! Just like the woman we fancy can never let the opponent's players take away, brothers, the Nets! "Jason Terry shouted his arms, and then the whole team started yelling to kill the Nets."
Go to your sister! Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry's vulgar words, and the results were very different. People were more dead than popular!
Said the absolute leadership!
"Jason Terry was infected by the host's words, and his response is also one of the ways in which the host's absolute leadership is manifested."
The system was not cold.
"..." Liu Mang felt that he had suffered an internal injury ...
"Eh, Ace, do you want to ensure that the team is the first in the East, and let coach Kruger serve as the All-Star coach?" Emmanuel said in front of Liu Mang who was suffering from internal injuries.
This fat man is really smart! It's a pity that it's all about how to tinker to get rich teammates to invite guests to the nightclub to help pay the bills, instead of putting it on basketball, Bai blind is so good physical fitness.
This is a lot of negative effects after the NBA income began to skyrocket after entering the 1990s. Unlike the 70s and 80s, players played purely for honor. The 1980s were slightly better. In the 1970s, NBA players and ABA The income of players is not as high as that of a powerful lawyer or doctor, and even some very good accounting salaries are higher than those of NBA and ABA players at that time. Playing football is really for dreams. Only when you become a superstar can you have endorsement rich.
At that time, both the NBA and ABA were too poor to go bankrupt, and the last two leagues merged into the current NBA.
Now the worst in the NBA is $ 450,000 a year, and millions of dollars a year can be seen everywhere. Of course, for the dream, continue to struggle for the dream, but many players inevitably have more money, I don't care about playing, just playing to make money.
"Bingo, Emmanuel, you guessed it!" Liu Mang said helplessly that you were very smart.
"Haha, I knew Ace you wanted to be an All-Star starter!" Emmanuelle laughed.
Um ... it turned out to be this way, no wonder, Emmanuel originally thought so, but ... Liu Mang is absolutely impossible to start!
"Don't ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Even if our coach becomes an All-Star coach, Jason will be the starter. I'm not appropriate." Liu Mang refused quite decisively.
"Aise, you are a brother! But I don't plan to start. The coach should not let us two starters. It may be Kidd. They are old seniors. We can't grab a position with him." Jason Terry A reminder to Liu Mang, "The NBA is still very important to discuss seniority. Don't offend people if you don't need it. Anyway, the coach is our team. You don't have to offend the careful eye for a starting name. We just have more playing time."
Liu Mang did not expect Jason Terry to have such a thoughtful side!
That's right, with a big mouth like Jason Terry, the mouth is poisonous. As a rookie, I can stand it myself, and finally become so good because of some unexpected relationship.
But Jason Terry has always had a good relationship with the team's boss. In the future, there will be good interpersonal relationships in the Mavericks, Rockets, and Nets. If Jason Terry can't do anything for others, this is basically impossible.
At the same time, Jason Kidd is really not a big-eyed person, do n’t be fooled by his appearance, what Dallas 3J robs a woman, does not agree with Byron Scott, does not agree with the Russian boss of the Nets, etc., all illustrate this Not an easy-going person, the evaluation in the United States is a high skill, the character is not very appreciated, but the Chinese people have the innate "old man's virtues" thought infused.
In fact, a lot of things in reality are not that the old man has gone bad, but that the bad man has gotten old!
It seems that the teammates do have the fighting spirit to compete for the first in the East. If you think about it, they are all young people, and they should not want to admit defeat.
However, with his fighting spirit, Liu Mang still had a pain in the schedule.
Another 5 days 4 games! The eighth and ninth hit the Nets successively, and the eleventh and twelfth played the Suns and Heat at home!
