From today on is the king

Chapter 211 210. I really want to give myself a mouthful
He was selected as an All-Star and received an All-Star trophy, and he drove a luxury car to celebrate with his teammates. What about me?Walking home, three kilometers is neither far nor near...

The teammates made an appointment at night to celebrate Jason Terry and Raheem's selection to the All-Stars, but there was nothing wrong with Liu Mang. He brought a "child" who couldn't drink, and a group of players who were popular now and were closely watched by reporters. When they were discovered, they were bombarded by public opinion, so they simply dropped Liu Mang.

Although this is the first time I’ve heard that an All-Star player has a trophy, of course it’s normal to think about it. The best of the month has a trophy, and of course the All-Star should have one. I remember that in the 70s, it seemed to be an All-Star ring, which was later changed to a trophy. Ten years later, the All-Star jersey will embroider these trophy awards on the All-Star jersey of the player who was selected for the All-Star. Kobe and Duncan’s jerseys cannot fit...

However, the three vice presidents of the NBA are also very busy. These vice presidents are required to present awards for being selected as the All-Star, the best of the month, etc. At the end of the season, there will be a bunch of awards such as the best team.

Liu Mang was thinking wildly while walking home to pass the time.

As for why they don’t call taxis, almost every household in America has a car, which is called a country on wheels. Cars are just a means of transportation for them. If many high school students get a driver’s license in advance, they will buy a second-hand car that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Moreover, the indispensable condition for graduation from American high school is to get a driver’s license, because this is equal to their ID card, and the other ID card is a passport. They don’t have an ID card here, saying that an ID card is an invasion of personal privacy.

Of course, it also brought many unsolved unsolved cases to the United States. It is possible that the criminal did not have a passport and driver's license at all. Even if the surveillance captured the photo, their public security information system could not find the photo information at all.

Liu Mang finally lamented the benefits of being tall, and returned to the apartment within two to ten minutes of three kilometers.

I'm a little hungry, so I went to see if there is any fast food in the refrigerator of the beautiful landlord's house. There is always something to eat in the refrigerator of this family.

Liu Mang went straight to the sixth floor and found that both Levia and Dinah were at home!Sitting on the sofa in the living room, I seem to be watching the recently popular American drama Mystery Woman, a TV series that I have no impression of.

"Dinah, isn't today Monday?" Liu Mang asked strangely.

"Uncle, don't you want to see Dinah? You must want to secretly go on a date with mom! Hmph, Dinah won't give uncle this chance!" Dinah habitually ran up to Liu Mang and jumped up.

Liu Mang had no choice but to catch Dinah so as not to fall, but it was troublesome to have a trophy in his hand: "Leviia, help me hold my trophy, don't break it. I heard that the manufacturing industry in the United States is unreliable, and it will break if you drop it."

Levia put down the remote control in her hand to help Liu Mang catch the trophy, and asked, "Did Ace win the award? What award? Let me see, the National Basketball League's 2001-2002 Philadelphia All-Star official game player... Ace, you have been selected as an All-Star! Wow...God, my God, Ace, you are so handsome!..."

Levia was even more excited than Liu Mang!I bought Karma, I bought Karma, and those who bought Karma kept calling.

Liu Mang originally thought that if he was selected as an All-Star one day, he would be as excited as Levia who is now...well, as excited as Dinah who couldn't help but jump up in her arms.

"Uncle has become an All-Star? Wow! Our Eagles have three All-Stars! Uncle is the most handsome... um..."

Dinah slapped Liu Mang's face.

Seeing Levia and Dinah so excited, they even turned on the thing called an amplifier these days, and started dancing... samba?Depend on!Dinah, this little lolita, can also dance!

This feeling is weird, but very attractive!Liu Mang was also pulled and jumped, half pushed and half pushed, Liu Mang didn't refuse, so he jumped along, saying no, but his body was still very honest...

But seeing Liu Mang twisting his waist and being able to hold the same hands and feet, beauties of all sizes almost laughed out loud...

……

……

There was a lot of fuss at the beautiful landlord's house, and he ordered a lot of takeaways and some alcoholic drinks. Liu Mang also drank some, but he was a little tipsy after not drinking for a long time.

I just took a shower and got ready to go to bed and rest. I have been physically and mentally exhausted for the past month or so. The body can use physical medicine to get rid of it. Watching videos, training, tactical training, and constantly playing for different opponents every day is exhausting, especially for a rookie who has just entered the NBA. How can I be so tired in college? In addition to March Madness, there are at most 40 games in a season.

The rookie wall, sometimes it's not because of lack of technical ability, or being targeted, it's just that many rookies are tired from the regular season, and naturally they play poorly.

Fortunately, Liu Mang was mediocre in his previous life, and he doesn't want to have regrets in this life, and he doesn't want to be the same as in his previous life if he has an opportunity.

Of course, his weird and changeable style of play also makes every opponent who meets him feel unbelievable. It has a lot to do with the addition of an offensive method every three days, and the opponent doesn't know how to defend.

Just when Liu Mang lay down and was about to fall asleep, the phone rang.

who!Liu Mang picked up the phone angrily... Alexia?Cough cough, Liu Mang's angry mood suddenly changed, and he answered the phone and asked very gently: "Hey, senior sister, why did you think of calling me?"

"Ace, Ace, Ace..." Alexia called Liu Mang's name many times in succession, "Are you selected as an All-Star? My God... blah blah blah..."

Another interjection, Liu Mang couldn't help but feel worried about the lack of language and vocabulary of the American Emperor, no wonder it will be occupied by my Great Heavenly Dynasty's web articles in the future...

"I buy it, I didn't expect that kid I met at the airport who was about to cry when he couldn't find his way would one day become an all-star! I'm so lucky! Ace is so handsome!" Alexia finally seemed to be tired of excitement with the interjection, and finally ended her excitement.

That's what it feels like!Having someone to accompany you to be happy, happy, and excited is the best thing about being selected as an All-Star.

"Haha, of course, your junior, I will become the best player in the world one day!" Liu Mang said proudly.

Proud!Of course, you must be proud at this time!Although the coach was also happy for himself before, but the coach is a person who is very good at restraining his emotions, he didn't show it much, and didn't want to make Liu Mang proud.

As for Adam Silva, he is the vice president. He sees a lot of All-Stars every year, and sometimes even decides who some All-Stars are. It is impossible to be too excited. The main purpose is to come and see this Chinese player, and see face-to-face to see if this rookie has the value of cultivating.

The boss came from New York only because the team had three All-Stars, and the reputation must have risen, and he wanted to make more money, and he came here, not just for Liu Mang's happiness.

Only at this time these three people made Liu Mang really excited and proud of it.

"Tch, Ace, don't be too complacent, work harder, the coach didn't choose you, but the league appointed you to replace him as an All-Star, you have to work harder..." Although Alexia was happy for Liu Mang, she still reminded Liu Mang not to be complacent.

"Senior Aida, why do you feel like my mother nagging my father..." Liu Mang complained habitually, but suddenly realized that the words of complaint were a bit vague, and quickly explained: "I just said like, like, don't get me wrong."

"Hahaha... Ace, you are too cute, no, let me laugh for a while."

Listening to the laughter on the other end of the phone, Liu Mang really wanted to say that he was not cute!The cuteness of our country means that you are pitiful and no one loves you, understand!

So sad!
Change the subject!

Liu Mang decisively shifted away from this embarrassing topic: "Sister, how did you know that I was selected as an All-Star?"

"On the news on TV just now, Carter and O'Neal withdrew from the All-Star Game. What is the name of that handsome guy from you and the Timberwolves? It seems to be Szczerbiak. The Spaniard's name is really hard to pronounce."

"Hey, you're still a handsome guy, am I handsome with your junior?" Liu Mang was a little bit apprehensive.

"Yes, yes, Ace, you are the most handsome!" Alexia said helplessly.

"By the way, sister," Liu Mang thought of one thing: "I have tickets for the All-Star weekend, are you free to go to Philadelphia with me?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and Alexia asked quietly, "Ace, are you inviting me to a date?"

It’s okay not to mention this, but Liu Mang suddenly became inexplicably nervous: “Ah, well, Dinah and Levia are going too.”

After saying this, Liu Mang wanted to slap himself!

"Oh……"

Sure enough, the other end of the phone was obviously a little disappointed, but Liu Mang regretted that he became stupid again at this time.

"Sister, are you going with me?"

"Of course I want to go! I've always wanted to go, but the tickets are so expensive. If someone offers tickets, I'll go of course! Let me see, our school will be closed for 4 weeks from Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and the exam will be in mid-March. Well, let's relax before the exam!"

After chatting for a few more words, it seemed that Alexia suddenly became less interested and there was not much to talk about.

Liu Mang hung up the phone, and started to feel pain in his ass, his mouth...

……

……

Celestial Dynasty.

imperial capital.

An association headquarters.

Office of an association director.

It was about ten o'clock in the evening in Atlanta, and it was just after nine o'clock in the morning in the capital.

"Director Cheng, all the NBA All-Star lineups are out, and that person has also been selected." Zhang Haifeng, the deputy director of a certain association, the deputy director of the propaganda department of the monkey-like association, said anxiously.

"I know, I just watched the news." Cheng Lanxin was also a little anxious.

Someone out of control appeared!
Moreover, the strength of this person is completely beyond imagination, and it does not mean that it can be controlled by the guidance of domestic public opinion.

He has already established a firm foothold in the NBA, and is also valued by the NBA president, forcing him to enter the domestic market.

According to Cheng Lanxin's thinking, they definitely want to stop it and control it. They don't want this person to establish a reputation in the country before they can control it. It will be more difficult to control, so they have been restraining the domestic sports media, blocking all news related to this person, and not reporting in the country, even more than the methods used by the disobedient Ma Jian and Wang Zhizhi back then.

But this time it clearly exceeded expectations!
Throughout the All-Star Weekend, the name was everywhere!
With power comes desire, wanting complete control, and if an accident occurs, wanting to kill it and avoid more people and things beyond their control. This is an ultra-left thought that is easy for those in power to commit.

"How about the media?" Cheng Lanxin asked.

"I can't control it. The usual news can't be reported, but such a big event as the All-Star Game must be announced. The discussion on the Internet has been very heated. Many people are asking who is this Chinese player with a name like this. Some people who came back from the United States told the answer. Many people who already knew about the rumors have already started promoting him." Zhang Haifeng said helplessly.

"The Internet is really disgusting." Cheng Lanxin snorted coldly. This kind of official who has no real power in other places except basketball, is most afraid of information disclosure. This is what they can do, and the emergence of the Internet is to maximize information disclosure.

"Director, why not use the same method as dealing with Wang Zhizhi?" Zhang Haifeng suggested.

"No, Wang Zhizhi's matter has already caused many people to say that we have delayed his development." Cheng Lanxin vetoed this idiot's suggestion, "Absorb him into the Blue Association. All players in our country should repay the country."

The country comes first, when it comes to the country, it is the first to be invincible!

The magic weapon of the national team is the greatest reliance of a certain association!

……

……

After Liu Mang was selected for the All-Star Game, the domestic information blockade on Liu Mang was finally broken!
Domestic fans saw that there is actually a Chinese player in this year's NBA All-Star!Moreover, in order to tell the Chinese people more directly that a Chinese player has been selected as an All-Star, the name is not Ace Liu, but Liu Mang's pinyin.

It's like dropping a nuclear bomb among the domestic basketball fans!
There is actually a Chinese player who was selected as an All-Star in the NBA!
Is Wang Zhizhi great?Isn't Battle great?One of the best center forwards in the country!Except maybe Yao Ming, no one is stronger than these two centers!

But are they in the NBA?They are all marginal people, and they can't even play for a long time!

The Hupu China Basketball Forum, which was established in China on January 2002, 1, was established in just one month. Relying on a special content of basketball news and not mixing football and table tennis, it attracted countless basketball fans to join and became the most popular basketball website in China almost overnight.

Recently, it has been full of news about the All-Star Weekend, and today's headline has become "Chinese player enters NBA All-Star for the first time".

As soon as the headline came out, there were thousands of replies.

"Who is this! He became an All-Star without saying a word? Fake news! Still playing satellites?"

"That's right, the news is too fake. We're not North Korea, why are we still doing this? North Korea also said that they are second in the world in football, and we are number one in the world."

"Keep quiet? The hooligans are already very popular in the United States, but there is no news about him in China. You know about a certain association."

"Upstairs, did you misspell your name?"

"Upstairs, upstairs upstairs is not wrong, this damn guy is a gangster, and his fan group in the United States is called the Hooligan League."

"Are you an Iverson fan upstairs?"

"No, he should be a Kobe fan."

"No, he should be a Francis fan."

"..."

The painting style of Gailou is a bit wrong. Sure enough, the Chinese people tend to deviate from the style of Gailou's painting since the Internet came out.

Whether you believe it, question it, refute it, brag about it, or scold it, in short, Liu Mang has become popular in China all at once!

The media that had previously been ordered to block the news by a certain electricity bureau were suddenly unbanned, covering Liu Mang overwhelmingly, and it was the kind of bombing report that had been held back for half a year, and Liu Mang was completely popular all of a sudden!

Only then did people know that there is actually a Chinese player who created such a legendary counterattack in just half a year in the NBA. He went from a college to the NBA water cooler administrator who was almost undrafted, and gradually became the best rookie and the best sixth man.

Of course, there are also doubts and criticisms, such as not representing the country in international college basketball competitions, etc., but more people have questioned a certain association. Why do they control the source of basketball news, but turn a blind eye to such a player?

More people think of being killed by a certain association, which delayed the prime time of the 19-year-old who was in the growth period of basketball at that time, and roughly prevented him from going to American universities to play NCAA. Later, the 21-year-old was roughly selected by the NBA. From a center player, 21 years old was still in the growth stage, but the certain association still insisted on biting him. It took him two years to become a 23-year-old "mature body" before letting him go to the NBA. , there is no room for cultivation.

Seeing that Nowitzki, who was also on the Mavericks and was favored by American scouts in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, was selected by the NBA in 20 at the same age in his 1998s, honed for two years and quickly became a first-line power forward in the league.

Of course, there are also "protectors". The NBA season usually starts around September 9th with team gatherings, training camps in early October, and preseason games from October 20th to 10th. The Asian Championships start in October. There are also sayings that you can't play for your country if you play in the NBA, and there are still many people supporting it these days.

It is easy to quarrel in any forum, and two people with opposite ideas make Liu Mang's popularity even higher!

Finally, a certain association said that it was no longer ignoring Liu Mang.

Zhang Haifeng, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of an association, said in an interview with the news media: "We have been paying attention to Liu Mang's performance in the NBA, and we are happy that he was selected as an All-Star. This is the pride of our Chinese people. We eagerly hope that he can join the National Basketball Association and become a member of registered players, so that he can play for the country in the future."

　I always feel that some basketball articles or sports articles describe directors of certain associations as mentally handicapped, like mad dogs who catch and bite the protagonist, and the media is the same, anyway, the protagonist is not happy... Then Xiaofeng writes something different, at least with a little IQ.
