From today on is the king

Chapter 214.

"Ace, you really did something to Steven's granddaughter." Coach Kruger said with disgust and helplessness.

Liu Mang has already explained it, but even Coach Kruger doesn't believe it!
Especially Uncle Callahan, the old man was so agile when he started to fly, he chased Liu Mang all the way to the parking lot, but fortunately he unlocked it before, Liu Mang fled on his bike and rode directly into the one-way street in the opposite direction.

At this time, the advantage of not being able to afford a car came into play. Uncle Callahan, who was chasing after him in a car, was a law-abiding citizen, and he couldn't walk on a one-way street.

Although Uncle Callahan later learned from his granddaughter that Liu Mang was sending her upstairs to protect her, Uncle Callahan was still very angry. He felt that Liu Mang had other ideas and prevented Liu Mang from having any contact with Winnifeld. He strongly forbade Winnifeld to take a step closer to the Phillips Arena!
The whole team knew about this incident, and the teammates were naturally amazed that Uncle Callahan really wasn't bragging, and that his granddaughter was so beautiful!
Then he envied and hated Liu Mang.

On the other hand, Moron Willie, the trainer, saw how beautiful Uncle Callahan's fat daughter, the vice president of the Knicks, was when he was young, so he was not surprised.

Got it!
For this group of American elders who applaud for love in their heads, Liu Mang is convinced and does not explain it. The sturdy life does not need to be explained.

Fortunately, although Uncle Callahan was angry, he had a strong professional ethics. Although he still had a bad face during the physical examination, he deliberately pinched Liu Mang a few times with great strength when he came into contact with him. He did not directly oppose Liu Mang in other aspects. He did not trust Liu Mang, but he still trusted his granddaughter. If Liu Mang hadn't been there, his granddaughter might have been abducted by the animals before he could reach the door of his office.

Of course, Liu Mang is also one of the animals in Uncle Callahan's eyes.

Speaking of which, the atmosphere of the Eagles has been tense recently.

The Eastern Conference is under a lot of pressure. The last 6 games have 3 wins and 3 losses. Seeing that the Nets are getting closer and closer, they will soon have to play the Nets back-to-back. To maintain the Eastern Conference's No. [-] in the middle of the season, that is, before the All-Star Weekend, the pressure is really great.

However, Liu Mang's fuss this time brought some jokes to the team and made it a lot easier.

The person who brings cohesion to the team does not necessarily have to be the high-pressure rule of Jordan, Kobe, and Garnett, nor does it have to be the kind of James that everyone plays well, or even the iron-blooded management of Popovich, Sloan, and Pat Riley.

Liu Mang is a different kind of person who is serious and serious in the game and can make everyone relaxed and happy off the court.

The main thing is to win!
……

……

"Welcome everyone to watch the Atlanta Hawks vs. New Jersey Nets game brought to you by TNT Sports Channel. I am your friend Kenny, and my partner today is still Charles." Kenny Smith's very professional and official opening remarks.

"Charles, today's opponents are the two best teams in the Eastern Conference, especially the Eagles. Wow, last time Charles you mentioned Ace, who could not score 20 points, he has already been selected as an All-Star." Kenny Smith looked very surprised.

"He's just lucky! It's just good luck! It just so happens that the Eastern Conference is so bad and Carter is injured again, otherwise he won't be in the All-Star team!" Barrick felt unlucky when he heard Liu Mang's name.

"I see, it seems that Ace's All-Star votes are the third among the guards in the Eastern Conference. If Michael hadn't come back, Ace should be the starter of the Eastern Conference All-Star."

"Like I said, the East sucks! If you go to the West..." Barkley said as if he felt something was wrong...

Sure enough, Kenny Smith came again: "I looked at the All-Star starting guard in the Western Conference. If Ace goes to the Western Conference, there should be no need for O'Neal to be injured and retire. Ace will directly enter the starting lineup."

Very angry!Barkley is so angry!
This Chinese player is poisonous!

Barkley couldn't be provoked, and immediately said angrily: "That guy can only perform so well in the East, and he can't perform so well in the West! There are not many powerful guards in the East! Just watch! I met Kidd today, and he will definitely not get ten... plus five points!"

Barkley decisively added five points at the critical moment, ten points is still a bit unsafe.

"Haha, Charles, is your Mandarin so bad? Follow me, Feifu Hall... If Ace gets 15 points, what will you do, Charles? Do you want to bet?" Kenny Smith continued to play tricks.

"..." Barkley hesitated a little, this rookie is poisonous!
"Why, Charles, are you afraid?"

"I don't have the word fear in my dictionary!" Barkley raged, "If this rookie can score 15 points, I'll dance live at the All-Star Game!"

"Pole dancing?"

"Pole dancing is pole dancing!"

……

In the happy bet of the two celebrity partners, the game is about to begin.

The Nets can be regarded as a team with a long history. When the ABA and NBA were not merged at the beginning, they were one of the powerful ABA teams. The team was established in the 80s. Color, but immediately declined again.

Until last summer's offseason, the Nets traded Marbury to Kidd, and the Nets counterattacked suddenly, jumping from the bottom of the Eastern Conference to one of the best three teams in the Eastern Conference.

Both the Eagles and the Nets attach great importance to this game. Both teams desperately need to win the next two games and directly defeat their competitors!
Hawks fans also know the importance of the next two "Eastern Finals previews". The Nets players have been booed a lot since they entered the court.

There was no intersection at first, the two teams never even played against each other in the playoffs, and even a trade between the two teams never happened, but now the two teams are very hostile to each other!
Soon, the pre-match activities were over, and the cheerleading performance of the Eagles was still good. The atmosphere of the scene was already very hot before the game started!
When the two big stars Raheem and Jason Terry brought Dean Grove, Muhammad and Ratliff who came back from injury to the field, the crowd cheered loudly!

The starting lineup of the Nets, Jason Kidd, Corey Kittles, Keith Van Horn, Kenyon Martin, Todd Macloch.

The lineup of the Nets is really expensive!
In Liu Mang's impression, regardless of whether the Nets change owners or not, they are extremely willing to spend money.

The Nets have a total of [-] players whose salaries are registered this year, and three of them have been laid off but still have to be paid, and they are included in the luxury tax.

其中，1990年选中的矮个中锋贾森-威廉姆斯在1997-1998赛季拿到场均13分13板，得到一份4年5200万的续约合同，是98年停摆的重要原因之一。

There is also the nickname Yellow Ghost Jim McIlva who got 5 million in five years from the Nets in the same year.

Both of them encountered a lockout after getting a big contract, and then formed a duo of drinking buddies. In the 98-99 season, the former played 30 games and was reimbursed for the season, and the latter played 11 games for the season.

Then the Nets did not stop because of this, and continued to recruit and buy horses. The money was not spent as money, and they smashed Marbury and came back to get the No. 2000 pick in [-]. Later, they finally made the right decision and won Kidd.

Sure enough, willing to spend money is the boss!

Liu Mang looked at the Nets' roster really strong!No wonder before the start of the season, the Nets ranked No. [-] in the Eastern Conference. Just replacing Marbury with Kidd, the entire team has undergone earth-shaking changes!
powerful!
Kidd is awesome!
Liu Mang looked at Kidd who greeted and high-fived the Eagles one by one. This blond man who has started to go bald is really strong!
When did you shave the black and yellow hair?are starting to go bald...

"System, Kidd's ability value."

"Ding...Jason Kidd, ability value 92, offense 80, defense 96, three-pointer 65, mid-range shooting 69, layup 71, speed 90, strength 83, passing 99, rebound 85... Characteristics: ghost."

When he saw his shooting ability, Liu Mang felt that it was enough!The scoring ability is too bullshit, so this can have an offensive ability of 80?Seeing the pass behind, Liu Mang understood that passing is also a part of offensive ability!It is worthy of being the assist king for three consecutive years in the past three years, awesome! 85 rebounds... point guard, Liu Mang has seen anyone who can stand up to a battle, and Francis has 80 rebounds.

I just don't know how much the rebounding ability of the triple-double king in the future will be...

Not to mention defense, this guy has been defensive for the past three seasons. Liu Wei only saw Kobe Bryant's defensive ability in the column that the guard was a little higher than Kidd.

Soon, the game started.

Kenyon Martin and Ratliff jump the ball.

Although Kenyon Martin, the No. 2000 pick in 14, was short at 5 meters and poor in rebounding, he averaged [-] points and [-] rebounds per game, but he could dance!The Nets don't use a center jumper, but use a power forward, which illustrates this point.

Martin wins the jump ball over Ratliff's head.

Kidd's judgment of the ball's placement is really good. As soon as the ball was touched by Martin, Kidd judged the placement and got the ball.

The biggest feature of Kidd is that he does not stick to the ball!
As the super passer with the second assists per game this season, Kidd's ball possession time is actually the fifth last among the 29 starting point guards in the league!

Except for Fisher and Dean Grove, who sometimes can't get the task of dribbling the ball across the half court, no one has less time to control the ball than Kidd!
