From today on is the king

Chapter 166. 165. When I met the background emperor

"Ace, it's so boring. What are you borrowing the pot for?" Emmanuel came to Liu Mang's room and just complained when he saw Liu Mang and the waiter setting up pots, induction cookers and other things together.

Playing against the Spurs tomorrow seems unlikely. The double-champion picks and twin towers are second only to Shaquille O'Neal in terms of dominance in the Western Conference. If it weren't for the fact that the outside line is a little bit worse, they can really compete with the Lakers. It's a pity that the young general Avery Johnson is 36 years old after playing last season and went to the Nuggets to pursue his last big contract.

Because of this reason, the Spurs really can't say where they are better than the Hawks. The standard is top-heavy. Before Parker starts to take off next season and Ginobili joins, this season's Spurs are probably the most difficult year since they got Duncan. They are really grinding the defense to death.

People's impression seems that the Spurs are stronger, but it is really better than the record, but the Eagles with 20 wins and 9 losses.

The Spurs' current record is 18 wins and 11 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference after the Kings, Mavericks, Timberwolves, and Lakers.

To play against a strong team, of course you have to play well if you can play well. Coach Kruger will not let go of this opportunity to hone his players. Of course, it would be even better if he could win.

So, after arriving in San Antonio, coach Kruger ordered the players not to leave the hotel and just stay in the hotel.

It’s okay to play in other places. Here in San Antonio, the head coaches of various teams are very afraid. The women here!

San Antonio has always been regarded as a small town by many people. Of course, it is true to say that it is relatively backward. The largest industries are the tourism industry in aboriginal settlements, animal husbandry and tractor production. The most famous tractor production city in the world is here.

But here is really not small, and the population is also large. In terms of urban area and population alone, one ranks 11th in the United States, and the other ranks [-]th.

But it is indeed behind.

A backward, crowded city naturally has a lot of gray industries, and here is a mixed city of dozens of ethnic groups such as Hispanics, Latinos, aboriginals, and Mexicans!
Although the law and order is not very good, there are all kinds of beauties. The players may not like to come here for a long time, but it is naturally itchy to come here once in a while.

So Coach Kruger ordered no going out...

Then a group of boring people either borrowed computers to play CS and StarCraft, or played red and white machines. Emmanuel came to Liu Mang when he was bored playing games, and found that Liu Mang was tinkering with some things that were not there.

"Boring, cook!" Liu Mang replied angrily.

Damn the system, I want Xiaoye to open a Sichuan restaurant after he retires, and the special dish is egg fried rice?

"Ace, you can actually cook? Your pot is so strange, why is it so big?" In Emmanuel's impression, the pot is used to fry eggs, at most, steaks, and they are all small pans. Liu Mang wants this is the kind of larger pan that Asians here often borrow when they travel.

"Chinese food!" Liu Mang replied casually.

"Cool! I like Chinese food the most, and I want to try it too!" Emmanuel found something interesting.

Liu Mang rolled his eyes, what food do you not like!They're all fat.

But it's still so flexible, what the hell!
Speaking of which, Liu Mang hasn’t eaten authentic Chinese food for a long time. Sichuan food is also good. He cooks it by himself. Under the terrified eyes of the waiters, Liu Mang asks them to help him go to Chinatown to buy things like large intestines.

Emmanuel was looking forward to it all the time, watching Liu Mang clean the pots and dishes, some seasonings that he had never seen, should be said that he had never expected to see, and the seasonings bought by the waiter were a bit uneven, but it was enough. Liu Mang was very grateful for getting these things in a foreign country, and the tip of one hundred was not in vain.

However, Emmanuel's expectations stopped at Liu Mang taking out the core items of the dishes to be cooked.

When Liu Mang took out the large intestine bought from a supermarket in Chinatown, Emmanuel's eyes changed from anticipation to shock. When he took out the pork loin from another box, Emmanuel's eyes turned into panic. When he took out the pig's heart, Emmanuel began to tremble.

"This is... this is... this is... this is kidney, intestines and heart? We eat this?" Emmanuel stammered with trembling mouth.

"Yeah! It should be delicious!" Liu Mang smiled, and he still trusts the products produced by the system. Every step of the cooking of the hot fat intestines, hot kidneys, and braised pork heart in his head is perfect.

Liu Mang smiled with nostalgia and warmth, but in Emmanuel's eyes, Liu Mang has turned into a devil!That is the evil smile of the devil!

"I... I have something to do, I'm going back first!" Emmanuel ran away after finishing speaking. From his point of view, Liu Mang would probably be the next one to eat...

How did this guy run away?Liu Mang was a little puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Then he sighed that Meidi's service industry is really developed. The internal organs were cleaned and packed in a box. Liu Mang took them out and simply washed them in boiling water, and then he was done...

……

……

Spurs!

Spurs!

Spurs!

Playing the Spurs is always a mixture of excitement and anxiety!
If we really want to say that the strongest team in the 21st century, until Liu Mang crossed over, perhaps from the perspective of championship and dominance, the Lakers, who won three consecutive championships and two consecutive championships, were unshakable. After all, only the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, and Heat have done it in the entire history of the NBA. Only the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls have done it many times. In 21 years, it completed the highest and only two consecutive championships in the entire history of other teams.

However, Liu Mang believes that the Spurs can also be regarded as the strongest team after the 21st century. Until Liu Mang traveled here, the Spurs have been in all seasons since the beginning of the 21st century.

This kind of record really makes the opponent feel scared, and it has been stable and strong for more than ten years.

But again, anyone would be excited to play against such an opponent!

Of course, it was accompanied by a little anxiety.

Walking into the center of the Alamo Dome, Liu Mang began to feel pain. Why does the Spurs' home court always seem to be doing something?

There is no other color but gray and white and black!

The locker room is also a monotonous white and gray, which is enough.

"Emma Nuol, can you help me find Moron to get a new pair of ball pants? This one is a little bigger." Liu Mang's ball pants seem to be the wrong size today, but the pants of the suit have been taken off, and the upper body has been replaced with a jersey. It is very troublesome to put on.

If it was before, Emmanuel would have bickered first, but this time Emmanuel stood at attention like a conditioned reflex, and quickly ran to the trainer in response, making Liu Mang look confused. When did this big brother become so obedient?

……

……

After finishing stretching and other warm-up activities, Liu Mang and his teammates came to the court at the Alamo Dome Center.

The Alamo Dome is the old arena of the Spurs. It usually hosts NFL and Women's Major League Soccer games. It is so big that there are more than 7000 seats. If you really want to install seats in all the empty spaces for basketball games, 6 to [-] people can sit in.

But basketball games are not like football and rugby. If you are too far away, you can’t see anything. After all, basketball is a game in which many goals are scored.

Although the Spurs do not have as many sponsorship fees as the Rockets, Mavericks and some rich cities, and the billboards are sold cheaply, they will never lose money, because this stadium has the largest number of seats in the league, and the attendance rate has not dropped out of the top five for many years.

In terms of loyalty, fanatical San Antonio is definitely no worse than Salt Lake City!

When Liu Mang entered the stadium, he saw the standard black, white and gray field, team logo, and various retired jerseys, etc., all of which were black, white and gray. The only eye-catching color was the championship flag, division championship, and western championship flags hanging on the wall. It was really enough.

When the Eagles players entered the field, the reaction of the fans was very flat. There was no intersection between the two teams. Ever since Wilkins was traded in his old age, the Eagles had played in the first round at most and hadn’t played in the Eastern Conference for decades.

And when the Spurs players played, the scene was boiling!
Especially when Duncan came out, with Duncan's expressionless face, the cheers of the fans reached the peak!
From the 1999-2000 season, Duncan was selected as the All-Star starter for the first time, and he completely surpassed the popularity of Admiral David Robinson, becoming one of the two most popular power forwards among fans.

Perhaps Duncan began to be popular until the Spurs' play in 2010. With the stalk of No. 21 rookies, but in the United States, from 2000, Duncan is the most popular big forward. From the 1999-2000 season, until the 2010-2011 season, Duncan was selected as the starting star for 12 consecutive years. The 05-06 season was not selected for the All-Star starting.

On the contrary, 2011-2012, the year when domestic fans' love for Duncan reached a hot spot, Duncan's popularity in the United States declined instead.

But in this era, Duncan is the most powerful forward!

How to do!
Liu Mang was so excited to see Duncan!
In the end how to do!
Meeting the background emperor... I really want to detain him!
