From today on is the king

Chapter 440 438. One Man Show

"Welcome everyone...Charles, what are you doing?" Kenny Smith was doing a regular game introduction when he suddenly saw a hot-eyed object sitting next to him, and he even forgot to keep his professional commentary.

"Oh, Kenny, are your eyes blurred as you get older? Can't you see that this is the jersey of the strongest dunker in history, UFO, half-human half-god Vince Carter?" Charles Barkley tidied up his overflowing flesh and shook his body. Not to mention, the number 15 has become particularly conspicuous.

Kenny Smith endured the tumbling stomach acid, and asked with a black line on his face: "I mean, you don't know how to buy a jersey with the size Gagagagagaga...?"

Kenny Smith looked at Barkley wearing a normal-sized Carter jersey, which was even more eye-catching than O'Neal wearing Kobe's No. 8. O'Neal was only 30 years old at the time, and he was not particularly fat. Barkley, it was like a mass of liquid fat stuffed into it.

"It's good to be able to buy this one. Carter's jersey is selling so well. I almost had a fight with a strong man to get this last one." Barkley was also a little bit pained.

"I think that strong man will not dare to fight with you no matter how strong he is."

"Haha, don't look at who I am, I am Sir Barkley!" Barkley smiled proudly.

"I mean, normal men are afraid of sticky hands." Kenny Smith complained.

"Kenny, I want to duel with you!" Buckley was furious immediately, saying that fat people generally hate being called fat.

"Stop, stop, stop," Kenny Smith couldn't stand this bastard, and asked seriously, "Charles, what are you doing wearing Carter's jersey? Don't you dislike any good-looking players?"

"Hey, since when did I not like handsome players?" Barkley denied it flatly: "I play so handsome myself, how could I not like handsome players!"

Kenny Smith has an expression of 'you are happy', and he is used to seeing such a shameless person.

"Could it be Charles, you became a Carter fan again today?" Kenny Smith asked after being speechless.

"Of course, Carter is the best dunker in history, that Chinese kid wanted to challenge Carter, I laughed so hard..." Barkley fired at Liu Mang again.

"Charles, what you said is very reasonable," Kenny Smith agreed with Barkley's statement, but then said: "But Charles, you have become a Carter fan, so it's hard to say whether Carter can win."

"Why?" Barkley asked curiously, enduring the awkwardness of the small jersey.

"Because you have never won, not even a ring, I happily hugged Hakim's thigh, but you came and we almost didn't make the playoffs." Kenny Smith couldn't help laughing.

"Kenny! I want to duel with you!" Barkley was furious again, "I bet Carter's five best shots today will be more than that nasty Chinese kid!"

Kenny Smith showed a smirk, and the fat man was caught again. Buck used Liu Mang to make a bet with Carter. Whether he wins or loses, he has nothing to do with Kenny Smith. Who doesn't like to watch the excitement?

Kenny Smith forcibly showed a serious face, looking like a referee: "Charles, what will you do if Liu beats Carter in the top five goals?"

"If it's a hell of a loss, I'll ask that kid to dance on the NBA court at the opening of the All-Star Weekend!" Barkley said angrily.

"NONONONO, people may not agree to dance with you." Kenny Smith dug the hole deeper and deeper.

"Then I'll dance with that old man David Stern!"

……

……

On the court side, the pre-match activities are over, and the players are starting their final warm-ups. Liu Mang is working hard to see LaVine and Carter's dunk bags, to see which moves are more cool and easier to score five best shots.

Now that Carter has just returned, Liu reckoned that Carter would not dare to fly dunks as he did in previous seasons for a while. Although Carter also had the will to fight, Liu reckon knew that Carter cherished his body. It can be seen from the fact that he was still fighting in the NBA when he was 41 years old. Except for being reimbursed for the season by criminals a few times, Carter's health has remained very good at other times, but he was no match for the Blackfoot.

What Liu Mang wants now is to seek stability and find a few gorgeous dunks to dominate today's top five shots.

It is not difficult to win today's game. The rare thing is that the Raptors have a huge home field advantage in the winter. Players from other places are not used to the weather here, so the Raptors have always had a good record from December to February. However, the Raptors seem to be doing bad things this year. They want to form a combination of Carter and the high school student, so Liu Mang thinks that it may not be a big problem to beat the Raptors.

Soon, the final warm-up before the game ended, and the two teams started their debut.

Liu Mang chose to start the game today, replacing Prince, ready to act first!
The Hawks' starters are Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad and Ratliff.

The Raptors did everything they could to make a bad player. They didn’t have bad players as their head coaches, so they changed their approach, that is, no matter who had even a slight injury, they would truce and pay them to watch the game in a suit on the sidelines. If Carter was not so important to the Raptors’ market, they even wanted to let Carter rest this season and recover from his injuries.

Carter just returned from injury today and was placed on the bench.

Although Carter had the idea of ​​dunking against Liu Mang in this game, he also knew that he had just come back from injury and was not suitable for playing for too long.

Raptors starters: Ralph Alston, Voshan Leonard, Maurice Peterson, Jerome Williams, Gerani McCoy.

Looking at the data of the Raptors' starting lineup on the big screen, Liu Mang couldn't help thinking of the 76ers whose entire starting lineup was made up of players from the Development League more than ten years later...

The Raptors are absolutely terrible, with an average of 89 points per game, ranking fourth from the bottom in the league. It really can't be achieved casually. It takes such a strong heart to send such a starting lineup.

Their record has indeed "climbed" to the bottom two in the league, and their record of 9 wins and 30 losses is no one else, but the Cavaliers are too strong, and they only have 6 wins and 32 losses.

"Gerani McCoy, ability value 60, three-pointer 50, mid-range shot 67, layup 71, speed 70, strength 76..."

Liu Wei saw that the starting center of the Raptors was actually a drinking fountain administrator who averaged 1.2 points and 1.2 rebounds per game with the Lakers last season. He felt that the Raptors were going crazy in order to get the man without a hairline who told others not to wear No. 23 and was happy to wear it.

Gerani McCoy, started in more than a dozen games when Antonio Davis was injured, and his average playing time per game is not low, 22 minutes, averaging 6 points and 3 rebounds per game...

However, Liu Mang immediately ran to Ratliff to whisper a few words to such a center forward who was only [-] meters tall and had such good strength and bounce.

Hearing Liu Mang's words, Ratliff thought for a while, and felt that he should be able to do it, so he agreed, then went to the opposite side of the technical stage and started yelling at the fans again.

Raheem starts throwing chalk, Jason Terry runs to the rim for pull-ups, and Muhammad starts flexing his muscles.

Liu Mang played a dice trick on the sidelines, got a level 1 task, and scored 10 points in a single game...

This is really not to underestimate the Raptors, it is really too good for the Raptors...

After the Hawks started the game, the referee urged the players to get on the field.

Ratliff and McCoy stood in the center circle, and Liu Mang and Muhammad stood on one side of the center line close to the Hawks' basket. Originally, Raheem was in Liu Mang's position, and Raheem and Jason Terry were in the guard position.

The positioning is a bit weird, but no one notices it. Liu Mang is also considered a tall point guard, 1.9 meters three, and some small forwards are only one or two centimeters taller than him.

No one saw that when Liu Mang bent over and leaned against the opponent's small forward Peterson, his legs were already tense...

The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the sky.

Jump ball, when Antonio Davis was away, Raptors fans no longer expected this short center who jumped up to ten centimeters off the ground, and watched Ratliff touch the ball first with almost an arm advantage...Huh?

The fans at the scene saw that Ratliff didn't know if he had a hand, and actually stabbed the ball towards the Raptors' backcourt!

The Raptors players were also very surprised. The streetball king Alston, who was standing in front of the Raptors basket on the right, looked at the ball flying towards him. He felt really surprised and pleasantly surprised. He took two steps back to catch the ball. At this moment, a figure jumped in front of Alston.
Alston looked at No. 1, who was wearing a white base and a dark blue jersey, with question marks all over his face. Why did this guy suddenly appear?

Liu Mang grabs the ball from Alstom and rushes to the three-point line, riding a single-level 5 trigger!Except for Ratliff who obeyed the order, no one else reacted and watched Liu Mang start the fast break!
After getting rid of all defenders, speed +5, bounce +5!

"Ding... the fancy dunk is triggered, the strength of the waist and abdomen is strengthened, and the strength of the shoulder is strengthened... The host chooses the dunk as a swivel back dunk..."

Liu Mang rushed out of the three-second zone on the left and leaped high in two steps. On the way forward, he turned 360 degrees in the air, flat frame!So Liu Mang 'had to' bend his body in the air to 'dodge' the basket, just after the turn, he just slid under the basket, and when he was about to fly under the basket, he swung the ball into the basket with both hands from the lower abdomen!
The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this scene!

Even though they are Raptors fans, they saw someone playing a 360-degree swivel buckle in an actual game!
This dunk may be in the early 40s at most in the dunk contest. When training or performing dunks, this kind of dunk that can be easily completed by black players as long as they bounce enough rarely appears in actual combat!One is that it is easy for a guard to make mistakes when playing this kind of back dunk, and the dunk will fly if he is not careful. Second, it is rare to play a 360-degree swivel dunk in actual combat games, and it is only a few times in a season.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is how did Liu Mang predict this point so accurately when the center forward made a "mistake" in jumping the ball?
So, it was immediately obvious that this was the opening dunk designed by Liu Mang!
At the pre-match press conference two hours ago, Liu Mang and Carter's slam dunk declaration had already excited the fans, but Carter had just come back, and the fans didn't want to see Carter playing too tired to avoid another injury, so the expectations were not so high. Unexpectedly, Liu Mang made such a move at the beginning!
After nearly three months of playing, Raptors fans also know the team's plan. They want to select another core player to make up for the loss of McGrady's departure in this year's draft that only happens once in ten years.

So seeing Liu Mang's dunk, the scene was shocked and then exclaimed, and then couldn't help cheering.

"UFO..."

"UFO..."

"UFO..."

The fans at the scene began to shout Carter's nickname, and the big screen also gave a close-up of Carter. At this time, Carter couldn't help laughing when he saw Liu Mang pointing at the basket.

Carter really didn't expect that this guy would come so suddenly.

The point is, this guy dunks really looks good!Let Carter's fighting spirit become more fiery.

Liu Mang's original bounce of 92, after triggering the solo ride +5 bounce, the bounce of 97 is not as terrifying as Carter's full value of 100 bounce, but the visual impact is quite amazing!Carter couldn't help applauding.

Everyone in the audience was surprised and surprised, including the players, but there was only one person sitting on the sidelines calmly. This man was the head coach of the Eagles, Mr. Ron Kruger.

"Here we go again, can you spare some energy, can you save some strength, tomorrow there will be back-to-back..." Coach Kruger felt that the stronger the disciple, the less worried he was, but after thinking about it, it seemed that this disciple didn't let him worry when he was still a rookie...

The Eagles' opening attack came suddenly, but the technical staff ranked in the league in this game was a little more professional than the staff in Liu Mang's lightning attack last time, and the watch was clocked in time, 2.6 seconds, and the Eagles completed the opening attack in 2.6 seconds.

Raptors offense, Alston was the one who was the most shocked just because he was the closest.

But street players are always bold, and he wants to return one!Seeing Liu Mang defending himself, Alstom decided to play singles!
Seeing that it was Alston attacking with the ball, Liu Mang took a step back decisively. This made Alston, who was holding his breath and wanted to break through Liu Mang, very aggrieved, and bullied the street champion for not shooting!

If I knew it earlier, I would practice the three-pointer!

The reason why Alstom is so good at breaking through, even passing more this year, and assisting nearly 4 times, but this season has no chance to play, and his attendance rate is less than half, is because he did not shoot.

Alstom had no choice but to pass the ball to Peterson for singles, and then made up his mind to practice three-pointers!

Originally, Alston developed three-pointers in the second half of next season after he met the head coach Stan Van Gundy, who was a center standing under the basket and outside the line, after he came to the Heat next season. In the second half of next season, Alston averaged nearly three three-pointers per game in the second half of next season.

On Liu Mang's side, seeing Peterson singles Raheem outside, ready to counterattack, he suddenly received an unexpected message.

"Ding... Alston started to develop the three-pointer ahead of schedule because of the influence of the host, and the host was rewarded with 1000 superstar points. This time, because Alstom had the opportunity to develop the three-pointer, there was no match."

What a surprise, why did I affect Alstom?But it doesn't seem to have a big impact, only 1000 points, Liu Mang didn't care, but he was a little happy, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat.

Peterson singled out Raheem so uncomfortable. Before this season, he never thought that he would become the team's first scorer. The career high average of 16 points per game is indeed very good, but he used the best defensive player to defend him against the opponent during the season.

With a height of 99 meters and a weight of 82 kilograms and a speed of [-], Peterson played in a standard no-nonsense style. Facing Raheem, who was taller, stronger and faster than him, Peterson took seven or eight seconds to make a direct shot!

Raheem's interference was in place, and Peterson had to lean back in the air and made a three-point shot!

Ratliff swung his ape arm, blocked McCoy and Mad Dog Jerome Williams, and Muhammad grabbed a defensive rebound!
Muhammad passed the ball to Liu Mang who was at the top of the three-point line. Liu Mang received a hard shot from the ball, threw away Alstom who wanted to steal, and rushed forward!

If Alstom blocks Liu Mang with his body, he can delay it for a while, but if he has that defensive awareness, he will not be sold off in the future when he averaged 12+4+7 per game in the peak period.

After crossing the center line, Liu Mang saw that no one was catching up behind him. Looking at the basket, he felt an inexplicable feeling of blood boiling, rushing!

After Liu Mang rushed to the three-point line and crossed the solid line arc outside the free throw line, the impulse in his heart couldn't be suppressed. He stepped out with his left foot, stepped on the free throw line with his heel, and jumped with all his strength!
"watt?"

Everyone at the scene saw Liu Mang stepping on the three-point line to catch the ball, took two steps and jumped directly, and couldn't help but exclaim!

Then, I watched Liu Mang rise into the air. At the highest point, his head was definitely over the basket!

In just over a second, when Liu Mang landed, he dunked the ball into the basket with one hand!

There are no fancy moves, but this kind of direct dunk is even more shocking!

Is this the regular season or the dunk contest?
This second-year Chinese player is crazy!
Liu Mang also felt a little scared after landing, because it was a temporary movement, although the bounce was theoretically enough, but he was not prepared, nor tried, and almost missed it!
If it failed, Liu Mang really didn't know where to put his face, but he got it!He himself felt incredible!This is a game. When Nima used to watch the football, he always complained that some people made mistakes with their brains and made some weird moves. Now I found that sometimes the blood came up in their heads, and they couldn't control their mistakes!
Fortunately, it was buckled in!

Is this the first free throw line dunk in NBA history?

Seeing Carter standing up in shock, Liu Mang was a little proud.

Carter was indeed shocked, this guy is simply crazy!
Who the hell dunks at the free throw line in a game?It's really... interesting!

Carter looked at Coach Wilkens eagerly and expectantly... Coach, I want to play!

However, as if Coach Wilkens didn't see it, he made a tactical gesture and double-teamed Liu Mang!
……

The top five shots of the day and the top ten shots of the week can be booked almost 100% in the first two times, and even the free throw line dunk may be booked as one of the best dunks of the season.

The Raptors don't care about winning or losing. For them, winning or losing doesn't matter.

But don't lose face!

Seeing Liu Mang and his teammates celebrating wildly, as well as the rookies Barnes and Boozer on the sidelines of the Eagles, they all started dancing. The Raptors players were very upset and wanted to lock Liu Mang!
For the first time, Liu Mang experienced the feeling of being double-teamed without the ball. After that, for a long time, he didn't get a dunk chance, and he didn't have many scoring chances.

No chance to counterattack, the Raptors players would rather let Jason Terry rush to make an emergency stop and make a mid-range shot, and they all want to pinch Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was very worried at first after only booking two top five goals, but he found that Carter's face was gloomy on the sidelines, but he didn't have a minute of playing time in the first three quarters and sat on the sidelines all the time.

The strength gap between the Hawks and the Raptors is huge. In addition, the Raptors completely collapsed on the defensive end today. Alston and Voshan Leonard have been double-teaming Liu Mang.

The game entered garbage time. Liu Mang played 29 minutes in the first three quarters, but he was substituted before Carter came on the court.

Seeing Carter, who only played during garbage time in the fourth quarter, Liu Mang was a little confused. What's going on?

And Carter, who saw that Liu Mang was off the court, didn't have the desire to dunk. He threw a three-pointer and got hot, and he didn't think of dunking during garbage time.

Raptors head coach Lenny Wilkens was afraid that Carter would be stimulated by Liu Mang to come up and buckle up. You must know that Carter's injury was just right. As a head coach, he would not dare to let Carter go up. So when Liu Mang was still on the court in the first three quarters, Coach Wilkens pressed Carter for three quarters.

What's more, if Carter wins, he has to play hard, which is too bad for a bad play, because with a dunker who can respond to Liu Wei, coach Wilkens can't use double-team Liu Wei to force the game to lose suspense.

As for the Eagles, they originally wanted to deal with the Raptors as soon as possible, so that the main players could rest more. Tomorrow, they had to play back-to-back against the Bucks. Coach Kruger saw that Liu Mang was double-teamed, so he decisively told Liu Mang to pass the ball more.

……

In the end, the Eagles were 107 to 80, killing the Raptors without much effort in the first game of back-to-backs.

Liu Mang is so puzzled, this dunk duel is not even considered anticlimactic!Became a solo show!

Just when Liu Mang was happy because he won the slam dunk duel and was about to get Carter's random skill card, and at the same time disappointed because he didn't get a real chance to duel, Carter found Liu Mang after the game.

"Ace, I'm sorry that I didn't come up to fight you." Carter's tone was a little annoyed, but his gentle character did not become violent because of his displeasure.

Liu Mang didn't expect Carter to apologize because of this, and he also wanted to understand, Carter had just come back, and the opposing coach saw his provocation again, how could it be possible for Carter to come up and take risks.

Liu Mang smiled and said, "It's not your fault, Vince, Coach Laney is also doing it for your own good."

In fact, Liu Mang was a little happy about this, and he completed the task of winning the dunk duel so easily.

Carter played in garbage time, and he was still on the losing side. It is impossible to have the best shot. Liu Mang didn't have to doubt it. His five best shots definitely won.

"I understand," Carter nodded, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was even stronger: "Next time! Let's do it again next time! It's just... the slam dunk contest!"

Carter thought of a game time that would not be disturbed by anyone and was still the world's attention, and stretched out his right hand.

The Raptors have another chance to play against the Hawks this season, which is an away game against the Hawks in early April, but Carter can't wait anymore, and he doesn't want to wait that long.

"Ah...?" Liu Mang didn't expect that Carter would make another appointment.

He remembered that after Carter came back from this injury for almost half a season, his desire for this kind of "confrontation" dropped a lot, and he began to have a desire to win, so he left the Raptors and Kidd, Mourning and other giants.

Liu Mang felt that he helped Carter heal his ankle, did he hurt him?Or helped him?

No, Liu Mang is very sure that he helped this good friend who initially recognized him as an opponent in the NBA. A healthy Carter must be stronger than Carter whose explosive power and jumping were weakened due to injury.

It's just something in his heart, Liu Mang knows he can't control it.

Just when Liu Mang was hesitating whether to accept it, the system prompt came.

"Ding... The mission of being the king of the five best shots has been completed. Due to Vince Carter's challenge again, this mission can be advanced to become the strongest dunk king."

"The strongest slam dunk king: The host needs to defeat Vince Carter in the 2003 All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest in Atlanta. Task reward: Vince Carter's skill death dunk. Failure penalty: Since the host has completed the previous task, the failure penalty is none. Do you want to upgrade the task?"

Liu Mang saw that the task had advanced, and Carter was full of fighting spirit and anticipation.

Liu Mang couldn't help laughing, fighting against the strongest dunk in history!Why not?
"Then I will accept the challenge of your defeated opponent!" Liu Mang stretched out his right hand with a smile.

When Carter and the inside were holding hands together, he couldn't help laughing when he heard Liu Mang's words: "Haha, Ace, you are the first person who dares to say that I am the loser in the dunk contest. You have no such chance to beat me in the dunk contest!"

"No, no, no, your time has passed, and now I am the one who dunks the best!" Liu Mang strongly expressed his desire to win!
The two competed with each other and didn't notice the reporter who had been filming beside them. The reporter originally wanted to interview why Carter didn't play, but they didn't expect to capture big news!Carter is going to participate in the dunk contest!

　Hmm... Let's write the [-]D chapter once or twice a week in the future. It's a bit tiring. It took five or six hours or even seven or eight hours to write it. I've seen the last [-]D chapter of Zombie Dance, which took three days... So I will try the [-]D chapter on weekends in the future, and update it normally~ Of course, try not to be short and concise~
