From today on is the king

Chapter 1542 1541. Special Performance Part [-] (seeking a monthly ticket)

Originally, Liu Mang just wanted to have fun, as long as he didn't dance pole dancing, then this activity would still be fun.

As a result, the NBA paid so much attention to it, and he also paid attention to it.

Liu Mang didn't want to lose this kind of competition like a "promotional video" of a dance competition that the whole world would pay attention to.

Originally on the 18th and 19th of the rookie game and the three-day event, Liu Mang, McGrady, and James had to participate in some NBA activities more or less, but this time the NBA did not arrange activities for them. The hot performance of the "Dancing King Competition", also known as the "NBA Internal Dance King Competition", the NBA also attaches great importance to it.

It's all about mystery.

Regarding the advertisement for the "All-American Dance King Competition", it is a confidential matter, in order to surprise the audience in front of the TV when the All-Star Game comes.

The All-Star Game does not need to rely on this to warm up and increase the ratings. On the contrary, for the "Four Great Dancers", it is a matter of increasing their popularity in this regard.

That's why James and Prince, two dancing kings who have made a lot of money from dancing, are so excited, and McGrady, who wants to get a share of dancing, is so excited.

The Four Great Dancers led their own dance team to rehearse intensively.

For the four of them, the current situation is not very optimistic, and the time is too short. The good news is that the dancers arranged for them are all professional-level, and they are very familiar with the dance styles of each "Dancing King".

On the evening of the 18th, they played the All-Star Rookie Game and the Celebrity Shooting Challenge.

2007年的新秀……上赛季宣传2007年新秀的时候，是把他们与84、96、03三年的新秀相提并论的，但是新赛季打了50多场比赛了，他们的表现很一般。

除了黄蜂队的凯文-杜兰特场均17.9分6板，灰熊队的艾尔-霍福德场均13.3分10板，一年级的球员整体表现还不如2006届新秀在新秀年的表现。

Although the 2006 rookies did not score as high as Durant in their rookie season, nor did they average double-doubles like Horford, but as many as five players averaged 10+ per game.

Now that the players from the 06 class are in their second grade, the gap between their performance and that of the 07 class players is even greater.

Both Roy and Aldridge almost made the All-Star bench, as well as Rondo, Gay, Farmar, Brewer...

虽然一年级队的凯文-杜兰特拿到40分9板, 但是在二年级的隆多的15分17板18助攻的带领下，二年级队144比115狂胜一年级！

With guys like Gay, Shannon Brown, Sefulosa, and Tyrus Thomas who can run and jump; teammates like Roy, Aldridge, and Redick who can shoot, against a weak team of first-year players, Rondo is simply invincible!

Rondo's mind is also quite small, and in the garbage time, he scored 18 assists, breaking the record of 17 assists in a rookie game set by Chris Paul last year.

There are three players in this game that have won the attention of the fans. Rondo has no doubt that he can't score. It is not his strong point. He has the highest 17 rebounds in the game and 18 assists in history.

The second one is Durant. Except for Liu Mang, Durant was able to score 40 points in the rookie game, and he performed very well.

The other is Brandon Roy, who scored 10 points on 10 of 29 shots, not as solid as a second-year player.

On the 19th, it is different from the previous All-Star Weekend. This time, the triathlon match day is particularly grand.

There are a total of 6 competitions. In addition to the three competitions, there are Shooting Star Challenge, Mixed Shooting Contest, and the first Development League All-Star Game in NBA history arranged in the All-Star Weekend.

This year's triathlon is quite interesting, Kobe and Nash, Peja, Nowitzki, Kapono, Korver participated in this competition.

Kobe, Nash, and Nowitzki came to participate in the three-point contest at this age, which is inseparable from the nature of this All-Star Weekend. They need popular superstars like them to participate in the competition. Who is Liu Mang and Ray Allen have no interest at all.

There is one thing to watch in this game. Except for Kobe, the three-point shooting percentages of several other participating stars are all above 40.00%.

Can Kobe break the record of 5 points created by Michael Jordan? This record has been around for so many years. Except for Payton, it is difficult for anyone else to connect.

But the surprise is that Nash scored only 9 points in the preliminaries and was eliminated. Nowitzki and Korver only scored 14 points. The three of them are not suitable for this type of competition, but Kobe entered the final with 15 points...

Both Peja and Kapono entered the final with 26 points.

In the final, Kobe was the first to lose his hope of winning the championship without any suspense. He scored 9 goals and scored 11 points at the bottom.

Kapono narrowly beat Peja with 25 points in the final with 24 points, defending the three-point contest champion!
Peja felt that something unspeakable happened with the Huskies. He participated in the three-point contest back then, and met Ray Allen in 2001. In 02 and 03, Liu Mang was there to fight for the championship. Now Liu Mang and Ray Allen are not interested in the three-point contest.

Compared with the three-point contest, fans of the slam dunk contest miss Liu Mang and Carter very much. Gerald Green, who only has nine fingers, defeated Dwight Howard and Nate Robinson to win the slam dunk championship.

Seeing that Nate Robinson made more than 20 moves, the league is ready to change the rules.

The skill challenge is more interesting than the slam dunk contest. Kobe, Wade, Kidd, Harris, Paul, and Deron participated in the competition. Except for Harris, the other five stars are very popular.

Kobe and Wade were both eliminated in the preliminaries, and I don't know what they thought. There was a link to pass, but they both dribbled the ball and rushed to the layup, as if the pass button was broken.

Kidd was defeated by a layup again. It was just a layup, and he didn't make it until the third layup...

In the end, Deron beat Paul by five seconds and won the Skills Challenge.

The All-Star game of the Development League... It is still very good to watch the game, but the star is too unknown, but the game is still very lively...

Because of the All-Star Weekend, the number of people in New Orleans began to increase on the day of the rookie game. On the day of the main game, New Orleans already had tens of thousands of tourists.

Bars, clubs, hotels, and B&Bs near the New Orleans Arena all use discounts to compete for consumers. This is not seen in other cities where the All-Star Weekend is held, and other prices do not increase.

There is nothing here in New Orleans now, only hotels and B&Bs have a lot of rooms, and a dozen or 20 people can live there. Many people rent their houses directly to chain B&B companies after their houses are rebuilt.

On the afternoon of the 20th, Liu Mang brought San Niu, Liang Zai and others to the New Orleans Arena to rendezvous with his dance troupe.

Levia and Alexia took their two children to the lounge to chat with the wives of the Eastern All-Stars, while Little Lori went to the final rehearsal with Liu Mang.

On the 18th, Liu Mang just taught the dance moves to those dancers, and even recorded all the moves, and let the NBA official people burn them into CDs, and the members of the dance troupe went back to learn.

When Liu Mang returned to the villa that night, the little girl who woke up in the morning and knew what Liu Mang was going to do kept pestering him, insisting on dancing together...

Liu Mang couldn't resist, so he agreed.

Liu Mang learned from Levia and Alexia that the other three "Dancing Kings" were very serious in the past two or three days. The two girls learned from the wives of the three that these three guys were still studying dance steps in the middle of the night, and Liu Mang was also very serious in the past two days.

Little Lolita seems to have good dancing talent. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that this dance is not too difficult. She practiced well. In less than two or three hours, the All-Star Game is about to start, and now she has to go to the final rehearsal.

Originally Liu Mang wasn't that serious, even if the other three were serious, he didn't really care.

However, seeing the new tasks in the task list, Liu Mang had to be serious...

"Celebrities series mission: Make friends with dance."

"Meeting friends with dance: won the pre-match performance before the 2008 New Orleans All-Star Game, became the special guest of the first "All-American Dance King Competition", and established a place in the literary and art circles."

Unexpectedly, Liu Mang's "Celebrity" triggered the first mission.

A positive image is important to being a celebrity.

Even if he is known as "shameless" on the field, his image must be positive outside the field. There can be many criticisms, but in terms of overall image, he must be positive.

This time, the "All-American Dance King Contest", which helped New Orleans rebuild, was judged by the system as something that could improve its image.

This is the beginning of Liu Mang's desire to "leave his name in history", as the so-called style blossoms...

As for the All-Star Game...

For Liu Mang, it is enough to be selected. If there is nothing else, it doesn’t matter if you have fun. Since there are other things...

The four "Kings of Dance" are all thinking the same thing now...

"What's the point of the All-Star game? It's not as fun as dancing!"

……

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, fans in front of the TV, this year, our All-Star Weekend is completely different from past All-Star Weekends. Today, we invite..."

After the entrance ceremony of the 24 All-Stars, the host at the scene took advantage of the frenzied atmosphere after the stars entered the field, and began to announce tonight's surprise show. When the host said "NBA superstars will dance tonight", the scene was completely excited!

The pre-match performances of the four "Kings of Dance" were not disclosed before, but now they are brought up suddenly. Although they don't know who will be dancing, the NBA players' dance show will always be the focus. The fans feel so surprised!

First of all, the winners of the Grammy Awards sang hot spots. Amy Winehouse, who won the four awards of Best Female Singer, Best Record, Best Newcomer and Best Song at the 50th Grammy this year, sang her award-winning song "Rehab".

When a certain number 24 player was on stage when the Grammy singer was performing, he was not paying attention to the singer. He was looking for the figures of the three All-Stars in the East and found that they had disappeared!
The little blacksmith was so angry!
Don't play with him!
Player No. 24 is still very confident in his dancing skills, but he has never had a chance to show it.

The best opportunity to show off his dancing skills is to ask Liu Mang for help, but as the No. 24 player, the little blacksmith is not as generous as Liu Mang, so he has always been embarrassed to speak out.

But the little blacksmith felt that he had already hinted at it many times!

Also angry was a fat man who could never be completely separated from the little blacksmith's career...

After Grammy winner Amy finished singing, the stage and musical instruments were all removed from the stadium. During the removal, the host came out again.

Looking at the card in his hand, the host looked at the script that looked like a "poetry", and cursed which bastard wrote it, but he could only read it:
"He is a talented player who entered the NBA in 2002..."

After a sentence is finished, a three-second pause is marked on the back.

When the fans heard this, they immediately started cheering, shouting "Damn".

The lighting engineer cast the spotlight on Yao Ming on the sidelines at the right time, and Yao Ming was stunned.

"Is this an impromptu dance for this giant? I can only do a little square dancing!"

Just when everyone's eyes were on Yao Ming, the host began to read the script again.

"He is a champion. His arms have built the most powerful defense in the NBA..."

This is more like Yao Ming. Yao Ming's effective defensive efficiency in the three-second zone this season ranks second in the interior, second only to Kevin Garnett and higher than Duncan.

Only two people were very upset. They both said that even if O and K left, their hands would often match their former nicknames. They both knew that they were definitely not talking about Yao Ming.

But other people called Yao Ming louder, Yao Ming was at a loss, and no staff came to call him! , It’s not true if he stands out, and it’s not true if he doesn’t stand out.

"He has an inseparable relationship with the best player in the world, Ace Liu. Although they are not on the same team, they both regard each other as teammates forever."

After the host finished speaking, he stopped for a while, this time for five seconds.

This is too obvious, Liu Mang and Yao Ming are teammates of the national team!

The cheers on the scene reached a boiling point, and many fans stood up and cheered for Yao Ming.

As the strongest traditional center, Yao Ming is very well-known in the United States. The center will always be favored, just like the second "Great Emperor" in the future. As long as the traditional center plays well, it is more popular than the jumping center that is now rampant in the league.

Besides, Yao Ming is still with the Lakers, and the attention is much higher than when he was with the Rockets.

Yao Ming has to stand up now if he doesn't stand out, he regards this as a "surprise trick".

Just when Yao Ming was about to stand out following the voice of the audience, the host said: "He is the king of NBA court dancers: Tyshawn Prince!"
