From today on is the king

Chapter 212 211. Public Enemy of the West
"God is not fair!" Emmanuel looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Sorry, we don't believe in God, we only believe in the God of Wealth, Guan Erye." Liu Mang threw a ball and gave Emmanuel a blank look.

"That's even more unfair. In the entire NBA, you are the only one who is blessed by the God of Wealth. God wants to bless too many people, and it's not my turn." Emmanuel continued to sigh: "Thinking about the past, we guarded the drinking fountain together. Now that 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 an all-star like Sharif?" Emmanuel asked excitedly.

"It's much simpler than that method." Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Tell me quickly! What a good brother, Ace and we will be brothers all our lives!" Emmanuel jumped up excitedly.

"Go buy a piece of tofu and crash into reincarnation, you may enter in the next life." Liu Mang couldn't help laughing.

"What is tofu?" Emmanuel's focus is always very strange.

"Uh, let's change it to pudding."

"...Ace, go to hell!"

After making a fuss for a while, Liu Mang's training was almost over.

Yesterday afternoon, the NBA announced that Timberwolves' handsome guy Szczerbiak and Eagles' Ice Liu would replace the injured Eastern and Western champions to enter the All-Star Game, which not only dropped nuclear bombs in China, but also caused an uproar in the United States.

These two players are weak, but they are not weak, but when it comes to the All-Star level, Szczerbiak averaged 18+4+3 per game, and Liu Mang averaged 16+1+3 per game. From the statistics, only Alonzo Mourning, who entered the All-Star by his familiarity, can fight with 16+8.

Of course, it is to fight from the weak side.

Liu Mang was selected into the All-Star Game as a second-round rookie and as a substitute for the team, which can be regarded as setting multiple records.

First of all, Liu Mang was the first player selected as a second-round rookie to be selected as an All-Star substitute in his rookie year. Second, Liu Mang was the first player to be selected as an All-Star substitute as a club team's substitute.

It is not that there has never been a club team that became an All-Star as a substitute, that is Kobe in 1998, but at that time Kobe was the All-Star starter selected by the fans, and he was selected directly by his strength without the coach or the official.

Liu Mang has become the "No.1" in history in this regard!Moreover, there is quite a feeling that there is no one before or after.

For a while, there were more and more doubts about the two candidates for the All-Star bench selected by the NBA headquarters, especially for Liu Mang, a rookie.

Anyway, it's noisy!
No matter which country you are in, there is no shortage of people who like to join in the fun, and if you join in, there will be quarrels.

But there are also people with a clear mind.

A very novel post appeared on the largest fan forum.

"Has anyone noticed that almost all the Western Conference All-Star starters have a grudge against Ace Liu?"

Soon this post, which was different from noisy, slobbering, etc., became popular all at once.

"This point of view is very interesting. I didn't realize it if you didn't tell me!"

"My God, Liu is so pitiful, it seems that he has defeated the two most paranoid guys in the West! These two high school students get together and Liu will be sprayed with tears!"

"It's hard to say, Liu's mouth is also very poisonous."

"It's so interesting this All-Star, will Liu also put on a magical performance in the All-Star? It's a pity that this time is Iverson's All-Star."

"What to do, I am an Iverson fan, but I also want to see Liu beat Kobe again!"

"Wait, it seems that Raheem also mocked OK, my God, I'm looking forward to it!"

"Haha, me too..."

"..."

"..."

No matter how dangerous the world is, there will always be some people appearing in your world, like a clear stream, which may not bring you warmth, but will always bring something different to your world.

These days, when a person is going to be hacked, as long as Kobe is hacked, it is right. Anyway, no matter what, it will be drawn to Kobe and the Lakers, and the hatred will be pulled away by this team and this player in an instant.

The wind direction of public opinion has always become confusing...

……

……

At noon on February 2, the NBA announced the rosters for the All-Star Rookie Game and the Triathlon.

The lineup for the All-Star Rookie Game is:

First-year team: Jason Richardson, Jamal Tinsley, Pau Gasol, Shane Battier, Brendan Haywood, Ice Liu, Tony Parker, Joe Johnson, Gilbert Arenas.

Gilbert Arenas withdrew due to injury and was replaced by former player Andrei Kirilenko. This is also the first time that a rookie who was selected in the past but did not enter the NBA played in the All-Star rookie game.

Sophomore Team: Quentin Richardson, Mike Miller, Kenyon Martin, Lee Nyron, Chris Mihm, Marcus Fizer, Darius Miles, Desmond Mason, Hedo Turkoglu.

The first-year lineup is bad enough, but looking at the second-year, it is even worse than the first-year. Kenyon Martin, the best player in the second-year player, only averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds per game, which is the level of Sean Battier.

Not many people paid attention to the All-Star rookie game. First, the level of rookies in the past two years was really bad. Just looking at the lineup, you can tell that it must be the performance time of first-year players.

More importantly, after the East-West rookie matchup was suddenly turned into a first- and second-year matchup in 2000, there was not much to watch. At that time, it was to make up for the fact that the All-Star Weekend was not held in 1999, and the rookies in 1998 did not make an appearance on the All-Star Weekend.

As a result, the rookies in 2000 had to pick their feet. The sophomores in the class of 99 dunked and played the first graders as dunk contests.

After looking at this year's rookies, except for two or three of them, there is nothing else to watch.

Among them, the high-profile Ace Liu was selected for the All-Star Game. The last rookie selected for the All-Star Game was Duncan, and Duncan withdrew directly from the rookie game.

After the slam dunk contest roster was announced, the attention was much higher than that of the rookie game, but it was a pity that the final roster disappointed the fans.

The final four players in the slam dunk contest were Desmond Mason, Jason Richardson, Gerald Wallace, and Steve Francis.

Only one of the favorites, Francis, participated.

Surprisingly, Ray Allen participated in the three-point contest, and others included Ice Liu, Mike Miller, Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Quentin Richardson, Steve Smith, and Peja Stojakovic.

The three-point contest, which had received the least attention before the All-Star Game, has become the most interesting event. Except for Pierce and Big Q, the others are all super shooters with a three-point shooting rate of more than [-]% and an average of at least two three-pointers per game.

When all the NBA weekend rosters are announced.

The people who were arguing about Liu Mang's entry into the All-Star Game were suddenly speechless.

Not to mention what to watch, not to say that XX did not participate in a certain event, so disappointed, seeing that almost every list has the same name, even two entertainment events...

This rookie really participated in 6 of 5 games in three days except for the slam dunk contest!
……

……

Liu Mang's teammates were also shocked, this rookie really participated in all competitions, and wanted to occupy the rhythm of the TV screen during the All-Star Weekend!
Liu Mang was selected for the All-Star Game, but Jason Terry and Raheem were the happiest, and the others were all happy. But Liu Mang and WNBA players both signed up for the shooting game, and the league agreed, laughing uncontrollably.

Under the ridicule of some bad teammates, and Jason Terry and Raheem singing black songs similar to "Believe in Love and Love", Liu Mang huddled in the corner of the training field at Phillips Arena, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"Ding... The system issued a reward task: Five Stars Shine in Philadelphia."

"The host relied on his own hard work and the good luck of occupying the right place and the right people to successfully enter the All-Star Game in his rookie season and set many records. Therefore, the system issued a special reward task."

"Five Stars in Philadelphia: For each of the five events that the host signed up for and was successfully selected, the host will be rewarded with a system-wide random mid-level lottery (note: all props including rogue value lottery and superstar value lottery). If the five best are successfully collected, the five-star shine will be completed. Five system-wide random lottery draws can be exchanged for a designated item lottery. Penalty for failure: None."

There are so many benefits to being selected as an All-Star substitute by accident!This task is equivalent to giving away rewards for nothing!Although full random is a bit worse than the superstar value lottery, it is a bit better than the rogue value lottery. As for the five-star shining...

If it was just this task, Liu Mang wouldn't be crying and laughing at the same time.

"Ding... The host has grievances with more than 5 All-Star players in the West, and successfully collected the hatred of most of the All-Star players in the West. The mission trigger condition is fulfilled, triggering the mission: Public Enemies of the West."

"Public Enemy of the West: The most powerful All-Star player in the West will win over all the All-Stars in the West to target the host. Task 1: The host needs to lead the All-Stars in the East to defeat the All-Stars in the West. Task 2: Obtain the All-Star MVP. Complete 1 task to get a random star card for the Western All-Stars, and complete two tasks to get a random star card for the Western All-Stars and a random star card for all players in this year's All-Stars. Failure penalty: After the All-Star Game, publicly ask TNT Sports TV commentator Charles Barkley to dance with the public."

What a cheater! This is it!

It was only then that Liu Mang discovered that the top eight in the Western Conference seemed to have been offended except for the Mavericks and the Kings!The Spurs didn't seem to offend much, but Duncan is an honest man!All-stars want to play seriously, and he is really serious!As for the All-Star players of the Kings and Mavericks, except for Chris Webber, the others are at most playing soy sauce, and the performance time cannot be too much.

And the All-Star players in the Western Conference are almost all from the top eight teams. The only ones who are not in the top eight teams are Francis and Brand. Brand seems to have come out to mock himself during the time when he had an affair with Jessica Alba, let alone Francis. Liu Mang feels that the future is bleak...

This is still considering that he had a lot of playing time in the All-Star Game and was targeted by his opponent for not being able to complete the task. Liu Mang thought about it carefully, these factors may not even touch the task at all and fail!How could I have so much time to compete for MVP!
"Ding... In view of the fact that it is too difficult for the host to complete the task of Public Enemy in the West, and there is almost no possibility of completion, the system specially provides temporary skills: 1. Absolute leader (temporary). 2. On-field coach (temporary)."

“绝对领袖：拥有所在球队的绝对话语权和领导能力。（有效期至2002年2月17号23点59分。）”

“场上教练：在比赛中拥有教练般的权威和指导执行力。（有效期至2002年2月17号23点59分。）”

Liu Mang huddled in a corner, what this system gave was really awesome!But what's the use of it!The all-star coach has to be coach Kruger...huh?

Liu Mang, who was heartbroken and happy, suddenly remembered that if there were not too many accidents, wouldn't the Eastern Conference coach of the All-Star Game be his own coach?
The Eagles are now 33 wins and 15 losses. There are still 4 games before the All-Star Weekend. The second place is the Nets with 32 wins and 16 losses.

But after the Hawks' last 6 games with 3 wins and 3 losses, the Nets have chased the record gap to only 1 win, which is not far from the Hawks!

And it's hard to die, the Eagles will play back-to-back next, first at home and then away to the Nets!

These two games!Liu Mang's eyes flashed brightly, he must win!

It's not suitable for Fatty Barkley to dance pole dance with Fatty Buckley... No, Liu Mang's voice is that we must maintain the number one position in the Eastern Conference!
"Boss of the system, the two skills provided are now valid, right?" Liu Mang asked in his heart.

"Yes, the skill is effective for a long time before the effective time is reached."

Liu Mang feels that there is nothing that one skill can't solve, and one skill can't...then the only choice is to choose masked pole dancing.

"Huh, try absolute leadership first!" Liu Mang was a little scared, he was just a rookie!If you come out like a boss to make your teammates obey, will you be beaten to death?Or will he be beaten to death?
Try it!
When Liu Mang came to the center of the training ground, he clapped his hands tremblingly, 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 at ease was that although his teammates were puzzled, they all surrounded him, including Jason Terry and Raheem.

In fact, Liu Mang has a certain level of leadership himself, and with the temporary skill of absolute leadership, his words about the game have become very important to his teammates.

According to the rhetoric he had planned, Liu Mang took a deep breath and said, "OK, now we are No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, but our recent game situation is not good. The opponent we will face soon is the biggest enemy who will compete with us for the No.

Liu Mang's words... are not uplifting at all, and they don't have much appeal. They are just ordinary goal declarations. As expected, there is no piapiapia applause from the legendary team leader after speaking.

To be honest, Liu Mang can do a good job as a leader on the court, but he can't lead off the court with absolute leadership.

But the effect is still good.

"Ace is right! The number one is already ours, so we can't be snatched away! It's the same as the woman we like must never be snatched away by the opponent's players, brothers, kill the Nets!" Jason Terry raised his arms and shouted, and then the whole team began to shout to kill the Nets.

go to your sister!Liu Mang looked at Jason Terry's vulgar words, but the effect was completely different, people were more angry than people!

Talk about absolute leadership!
"Jason Terry was infected by the host's words, and his response is also one of the manifestations of the host's absolute leadership."

The system suddenly said something.

"..." Liu Mang felt that he was injured internally...

"Hey, Ace, do you want to ensure that the team is No. [-] in the Eastern Conference and let Coach Kruger be the All-Star coach?" Emmanuel said in front of Liu Mang who was suffering internal injuries.

This fat man is really smart!It's a pity that the cleverness is all focused on how to make rich teammates treat guests and go to nightclubs to help pay the bills, instead of focusing on basketball. Such a good physical fitness is wasted.

This is the many negative effects of NBA income after entering the 90s. Unlike the 80s and 80s, players played purely for honor. In the 70s, it was better. In the [-]s, the income of NBA players and ABA players was not as high as that of a powerful lawyer or doctor.

At that time, both the NBA and the ABA were so poor that they were going bankrupt, and the last two leagues merged to form the current NBA.

Now the worst in the NBA is $50 million a year, and millions a year can be seen everywhere. Of course, those who pursue their dreams still continue to fight for their dreams, but it is inevitable that many players will no longer care about playing after they have more money. They play just to make money.

"Bingo, Emmanuel, you guessed it right!" Liu Mang said helplessly that you are very smart.

"Haha, I knew Ace that you wanted to be the All-Star starter!" Emmanuel laughed.

Uh... so that's the case, no wonder, Emmanuel originally thought so, but... it is absolutely impossible for Liu Mang to start the game!
"No, even if our coach becomes an All-Star coach, Jason will be the starter. I'm wrong." Liu Mang refused quite decisively.

"Ace, you are really a brother! But I don't plan to start. The coach probably won't let the two of us start. It might be Kidd. He is an old man. We can't compete with him for the position." Jason Terry reminded Liu Mang, "The NBA's seniority is still very important. Don't offend people if you don't have to. Anyway, the coach belongs to our team. Don't offend the petty mind for a starter. We just need to play more time."

Liu Mang didn't expect Jason Terry to have such a delicate side!
That's right, with a big mouth like Jason Terry's and his poisonous mouth, as a rookie, he can bear it by himself, and finally became so good because of some unexpected relationships.

But Jason Terry has always had a good relationship with the boss of the team. In the future, he will have a good relationship with the Mavericks, Rockets, and Nets. If Jason Terry can't handle things well, this is basically impossible.

At the same time, Jason Kidd is really not a big-hearted person. Don’t be fooled by his looks. Dallas 3Js grab women, disagree with Byron Scott, disagree with the Russian owner of the Nets, etc., all show that he is not easy. The evaluation in the United States is that he has high skills, and his character is not very appreciated. It’s just that Chinese people have the innate idea of ​​“old people have high morals and high prestige”.

In fact, many things in reality are not that old people have become bad, but that bad people have become old!It's just that in ancient times bad people didn't live long if they were caught doing bad things, but now they can't die if they are caught doing bad things.

It seems that the teammates do have the fighting spirit to compete for the number one spot in the Eastern Conference. Thinking about it, they are all young people, and they probably don't want to admit defeat.

But with the fighting spirit, Liu Mang is still very painful.

Another 5 days and 4 matches!No. 11 and No. 12 played the Nets successively, No. [-] and No. [-] played the Suns and Heat at home!
　It was raining in the gray sky, it was dark and the roads were slippery, so I ended the bleak food delivery work early, and sent out the chapters that were almost finished in the afternoon~ Huh, I will write another [-] words in a while, and go to bed early~ I wish you all a happy Laba Festival!

　　On the occasion of this festive season, do you guys want to give me a tip?Do you want a monthly pass?At least the recommendation ticket is also good...
