From today on is the king

Chapter 478. 476. Welcome to the Ace-Liu All-Star Talk Show Special Performance
Shocked, angry and ashamed, Kidd rushed up and jumped up to barely hit the basket, knocked the ball down, ran back and then pushed it back. After 35 seconds, Kidd made an irrational quick shot!
"This ball is too hasty, it should be..."

When the shot was made, the commentators on the TV station felt that Kidd was too sloppy. He shouldn't be so angry and forceful because of the mistake of the first shot. He should make adjustments and still have a chance to win the championship.

"Shh..."

Before the commentary was finished, a three-pointer was hit...

Kidd took so long to adjust the first shot, everyone thought it was stable, but he didn't score. The second shot seemed to be a few blind throws. Everyone said he was too hasty, hasty and uncalm, and the result was a hollow hit.

Kidd's slap in the face is really good.

The time was finally fixed at 37.6 seconds!
Liu Mang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and it was about the same time that Kidd won the championship in history. In fact, Kidd is the most accurate three-pointer among the other three contestants except Liu Mang.

Kidd's performance, 37 seconds, is not ranked first in the history of the Skills Challenge, and even his original 35-second victory was ranked No. 1 among all champions, but when this competition was first introduced into the NBA All-Star Weekend, he was already at his best!
For example, the next two contestants...

Kidd just made fun of the last three-point shooting that he was not good at. The next two explained what is called real "skill".

After seeing Kidd's performance, Marbury and Payton both had confidence in their hearts. Seeing that Kidd completed it so easily, except for the three-point shooting hurdle, which was a difficult problem, nothing in front of it was a problem.

The second player was Marbury. As a street player, Marbury dribbled the ball very well in theory, very good, but... Marbury just heard the referee blowing the whistle to start the game.

Sometimes I just think too much, and the ball that Marbury hits just hits the protruding edge at the bottom of the barricade and bounces off...

"Hey..." Marbury didn't expect this at all. This kind of spinning ball requires a lot of strength and is very difficult to control. It is extremely rare and extremely difficult to dribble in official games. Only Tim Hardaway, the ancestor of crossover, used this trick at his peak. Marbury had never used it before.
There was another burst of laughter on the sidelines. The leader was the current No.1 O'Neal who had just won the MVP for three consecutive championships. He didn't care about Marbury's face.joke!O'Neal pointed at Marbury and kept laughing, stealing the spotlight with his strength. When Marbury went to chase the ball, the camera was all on O'Neal.

This guy is a genius!Always get the shot.

Marbury was delayed for a while just by this one. When he started again, he dribbled and laid up honestly. He also learned the second item.

For the last three-pointer here, Marbury's three-pointer is not yet accurate by Kidd, and it was only the second time he hit it.

In 44.6 seconds, Marbury performed worse than Kidd!

Payton, who came up third, fully absorbed the miss experience of the first two people, slowly advancing, slowly laying up, slowly passing the ball...he made two mistakes in the pass, and succeeded on the third time. The last three-pointer was a hell of a shot.

After watching the performances of the latter two, Liu Mang realized that Kidd's performance of more than 35 seconds was already a crushing and dominating performance in the first year of the project's establishment!

After the performance of the first three, they heard the laughter of the fans and saw the players on the sidelines making fun of them without giving them any face. The three brothers were all pissed off!

Seeing the end of the three people's funny performance, Liu Mang moved his joints, this is - it's time to perform real skills!

"Boss of the system, the simulation training mode is on!"

"Ding... The host starts the simulated training mode, consuming 1000 rogue points per minute."

"Simulation training mode: personal training mode, which consumes 1000 rogue points per minute, and the minimum opening time is 1 hour. It can simulate the game situation in an informal game. It can trigger basketball skills just like a formal game. It can trigger skills that can only be triggered according to similar game conditions. 60000 rogue points have been deducted."

Personal training mode, so expensive!
One hour spent the rogue value of two or three ordinary games, and this was the lowest time, after more than an hour, 1000 points per minute.

However, this is not a problem for Liu Mang now!Although the less-watched games don't increase the rogue value very much, the Rookie Challenge has raised more than 20, and there are already a lot of rogue points, enough to squander!

Liu Mang walked to the top arc of the three-point line in the left half, and was the last one to come out. He had been sitting for a long time and wanted to move around a bit. The referee was not in a hurry to tell Liu Mang to hurry up, because the DJ was warming up the venue.

The finale, Liu Mang, is here!This is Liu Mang's home stadium, and everyone cheered rhythmically along with the DJ.

Looking at Liu Mang who was moving his joints with a relaxed face, the three opponents were very disdainful. It was the first time to participate in this competition, and they couldn't believe it. They made mistakes again and again, and this kid could succeed once!
Especially Marbury and Payton, who played the last two, knew that this seemed very simple, but when they really did it, they found it was really difficult. The main reason was that they hadn't practiced it before. The first time they encountered it, it was really more difficult than imagined!
Liu Mang took the ball from the referee and took two shots. It felt good. Let's end the game and welcome to the slam dunk contest!
Liu Mang stood in front of the first roadblock and bent down, stepped forward with his left foot, pulled his right foot back, and stretched his right hand behind his back to grab the ball, treating the roadblock as if he were a defensive player in the game.

This action, let alone, is really cool!The cheers of the fans at the scene became stronger.

Seeing this scene, the three brothers next to him cursed secretly: "Pretending to be a criminal!"

Liu Mang nodded to the referee next to him, the referee responded, waved the flag, and blew the whistle!
The moment the whistle sounded, Liu Mang jumped out to the left like a leopard. As if he was really extraordinary, he slapped the ball to the left. After passing the first roadblock, he pulled the ball to the right with his left hand, and then jumped out to the right again. With a large change of direction, the visual effect exploded!

At this time, the three brothers on the sidelines were all sneering: "Put it on, keep on pretending! Let's see how long you can maintain this speed..."

The three people on the sidelines were all waiting to see Liu Mang's jokes. The young man just wasn't calm. This kind of continuous change of direction seemed fast at first, but how long can it last in the end?
However, Liu Mang's faster and faster movements made the three of them sneer and look forward to a little panic. When they got to the back, the three of them were dumbfounded!

Every time Liu Mang passed a roadblock, not only did his speed not slow down, but it got faster and faster!One is faster than the other!

As Liu Mang was advancing at a high speed, reminders kept ringing in his head, and the speed was getting faster and faster!

"Solo trigger at level 5."

"Solo riding at level 5 triggers X2."

"Solo riding at level 5 triggers X3."

"Riding alone..."

"Riding alone..."

Riding level 5 alone, after passing the first six roadblocks, triggers 6 times!Liu Mang's speed was getting faster and faster. When he changed direction for the last time, the speed was so fast that the images of the low-level high-speed cameras in this era were a little blurry!

The voice of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." after Liu Mang passed all seven roadblocks, the special effect of riding alone at level 5 was activated!After passing all defenders, bounce +8!

After Liu Mang passed the last roadblock, without stopping or slowing down, he rushed directly to the free throw line, took a big step inside the free throw line and took off directly, gliding through the air and smashing the ball into the basket!

There are no fancy moves, just a simple dunk within the free throw line and a big step close to the dotted line!
It is not enough to describe the excitement of the fans at the scene. After Liu Mang dunked in, the fans at the scene burst into cheers!
After landing, Liu Mang caught the bouncing ball in one go, then kicked off the bottom line and ejected towards the frontcourt.

After rushing to the front court with a quick dribble, Liu Mang came to the top arc on the right side of the free throw line, slowed down his movements, and aimed well. This project is actually the most difficult. Liu Mang has practiced many times and is still very serious and focused.

There was no big problem. Although Liu Mang took two seconds to aim, he sent the ball steadily into the vertical basket!
Liu Mang hurried back to the bottom line and attacked again!
He didn't care how much time he spent now, and rushed to the front court quickly.

Unlike Marbury, Payton, and Kidd who all choose the closest top arc, Liu Mang's most accurate is the bottom corner!Although he made relatively few three-pointers here in the NBA, the main reason is that there are not many shots here, but this is indeed the most accurate and best training place. Compared with missing a shot and trying again, Liu Mang is more willing to spend more than a second running to the bottom corner instead of just stopping at the top arc.

Liu Mang rushed to the right, grabbed the ball and turned around to stand still. The moment he stood still, the ball was placed on his left waist!
Seeing this scene, the Eagles fans at the scene couldn't help but stood up and made the same preparatory posture.

Sure enough, Liu Mang used the sniper!He took the ball from his left waist to his left shoulder, jumped and shot!
This kind of game is too suitable for Liu Mang, a perfect shot!Perfect rhythm!
In the anticipation of the fans and the curse of the three brothers on the sidelines, Liu Mang hit the ball hollow!

The moment the ball fell into the basket, the referee blew the whistle to stop the clock, and the Eagles fans on the scene began to snipe!Even the fans who were not very familiar with this weird celebratory show of the Eagles followed suit, and the scene became very eye-catching for a while.

Liu Mang, who originally wanted to open his arms to welcome the cheers, saw this scene, as if he saw thousands of Lonzo balls, or three or four tens of thousands of Lonzo balls... What a hot eye!

Liu Mang is very sure and sure, he definitely spends less time than the other three!

Because the performance this time was so perfect, from the first event, it was more perfect than usual training, and the speed was faster than usual practice!

Even the second flat long pass, which is usually the most inaccurate, is faster than usual, and the last three points are also very stable!Definitely better than all three opponents who made mistakes!

The faces of the three brothers on the sidelines were gloomy, and the inner OS has been very consistent today, and this time is no exception: "Give me the ball, I want to go home!"

In the end, when the staff at the technical desk saw that the ball finally fell into the basket, there was no deviation in the clock-cutting time, and the time was sent to the technical department, which announced Liu Mang's time on the big screen above the center of the court.

24.3 seconds!
A whole 2 seconds faster than No.10 Kidd!

At a time when there are no other champions in the Skills Challenge to compare with, the fans don't know what the concept is. Anyway, it's just right to cheer, and it's just right to make fun of the sniper throwing moves. Even the stars on the sidelines have followed suit and made fun of Liu Mang.

And Liu Mang was shocked by his performance this time. Usually, the fastest time is about 28 seconds, but he didn't expect it to be improved by more than three seconds this time!That is to say, basically every link has been improved by at least one second!
This...could be a record that will never be broken!
Because in 2008, when Deron played 25.5 seconds and broke Wade's original record of 26 seconds, it was already called a miracle. Wade's original record of 26.1 seconds set by three steps faster was already shocked at the beginning. Because the champions of the previous three years were 35 seconds, 37 seconds and 32 seconds, and none of them broke 30 seconds. At that time, people knew how difficult it is to break 30 seconds!For example, Nash's 2010 seconds in 29.9, Curry's 2011 seconds in 28.8, and Lillard's 2013 seconds in 29.8. When they finished the game and there were other players, the fans already regarded them as champions. I don't think there are other people who can break 30 seconds in the same year!
Liu Mang is also very helpless!The young master is too big, I can't control my surging strength, the poor little fat man who eats and sleeps and abuses 58, my brother snatched the pitiful NBA record you will have in the future... Feeling sorry for the little fat man for three seconds, Liu Mang came to the center of the court to accept the championship trophy after the staff removed the game props!
There is still one championship short of the second piece of talent and skill fragments - the slam dunk king!

Liu Mang held up the trophy handed over by David Stern and showed it off. It was a very ordinary crystal glass.

Generally speaking, David Stern will not come to present awards in three-event competitions, such as the three-point contest champion. This year's All-Star award presenter is the first player in NBA history to score a three-pointer. He is also a [-]-meter power forward.

However, in order to show his face in front of Chinese fans, David Stern, so it is his turn to announce the champion of the triathlon.

Like Jordan said, when you're the best, everyone favors you.

In a certain way, Liu Mang is the one that David Stern thinks is the best. Hand the microphone to Liu Mang. No matter what Liu Mang says, it will drive the ratings. David Stern is happy!

Who would not like such a young player who is dazzling inside the arena and clean outside the game, who does not fight, drink, prostitute or gamble?As for the arrogance in the game... If Liu Mang is not arrogant or arrogant even in the game, then there is really nothing worth cultivating, just throw it aside like Duncan to fend for itself.

Holding the microphone, Liu Mang seemed to feel the "expectation" of people, how could he make these guys come true!
Liu Mang organized his wording and began to say his acceptance speech: "Wow, this is so cool, I am the first person to win this competition!"

"It's great. I think this game is very interesting. It can be played every year in the future. Don't look at us doing it so easily. I think, except for me, the other three seniors are top players in ball control and passing. It's so easy in some places, but it's difficult. It's very challenging for me as a point guard. I hope this game can continue in the future."

"When Jason almost finished all the projects in the first 20 seconds, I felt like I was done, and I wanted to give up the game. But luckily, he threw a ball that couldn't be copied. I think this will be an unforgettable picture of the All-Star Weekend."

"To win today, I would like to thank a few of my teachers."

After a bunch of routine laments about the difficulty of the game, and understanding compliments on the opponent, Liu Mang's words shocked several NBA players on the sidelines, and Jordan, Stockton and Malone, three veterans who were about to become famous, had smiles on their faces.

"First of all, I would like to thank Michael..."

As soon as Liu Mang said this, Jordan laughed even more happily, while Stockton and Malone were a little dissatisfied.

"I want to thank Michael, he taught me how to shoot the three-pointer better."

As soon as the second half of the sentence came out, the smile on Jordan's face froze, this brat!I knew it was okay!
Malone and Stockton laughed for a moment, and then suddenly had a bad feeling...

However, Shuangsha made another misprediction.

Liu Mang continued: "I would also like to thank my good friend Kobe Bryant."

"watt?"

Kobe looked at Liu Mang on the field in astonishment. Since when did he become his friend... that's fine, but why is he thanking himself?
Not to mention, Kobe still has a little expectation, did this bastard show off his head today?Praise yourself!Kobe was very curious how Liu Mang would thank him.

Not only was Kobe stunned, but everyone in the audience didn't expect Liu Mang to say that. As we all know, Liu Mang and Kobe were at odds with each other, and they almost got into a fight.

Everyone stared at Liu Mang, wanting to see what Liu Mang was grateful for.

"I would like to thank Kobe. I learned how to pass the ball from him. Although he can't pass the ball, watching his game will give me a lot of inspiration. As long as I encounter a situation where he is shooting, passing the ball immediately will definitely be an assist."

"..." Kobe almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and knew that nothing good would happen!
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter!Kobe's face became more gloomy, but when the camera came, he had to smile, which had changed from a sinister smile to a perverted one.

"Finally, I would like to thank the two seniors in Salt Lake City..."

Stockton and Ma Long looked forward to Liu Mang thanking them at first, but now, the two of them wish they didn't know this brat!Now that Liu Mang mentions their names, they really want to disappear from people's sight...

However, there is no escape...

"I want to thank John, he taught me how to dunk, and I also want to thank Carl, he told me to go to the basket more during the game, and don't float in the middle distance..."

Stockton and Malone looked at each other with helpless wry smiles.

Quite beyond people's expectations, after Liu Mang won the Skills Challenge Championship with a crushing level of performance, he did not brag or mock his opponent after the game. Instead, he started a regular acceptance speech. The teasing was a joke, but he didn't tease his opponent much. Instead, he made fun of Jordan, Shuangsha, and Kobe like a talk show.

Every word is heartbreaking!

Liu Mang felt four eyes with strong murderous intent, and felt that the murderous intent was about to envelope him, so he quickly returned the microphone to David Stern and fled back to the contestant's bench.

Because of Liu Mang's fuss, people were very excited because of the first three competitions, and when they got a little too excited and then tired, Liu Mang's "talk show performance" eased people's nerves that were too excited and nervous.

When people remembered that there was still the last game, the most important slam dunk contest, everyone's emotions became even higher, completely unaffected by the previous three games, the atmosphere on the scene finally reached its climax tonight!

coming!

After Liu Mang and Carter's All-Star Weekend, people have been looking forward to the slam dunk contest for more than a month, and it's finally here!
When the DJ shouted "UFO...", everyone stood up and cheered. Carter is still the strongest synonym for dunk!

The slam dunk contest, mainly because of him, has achieved even higher attention this year than in 2000, and people have higher expectations!
As the dunk god who almost killed the slam dunk contest, Carter was the first to be introduced, and all the fans cheered!
The second player was Stoudemire, and the third player was Drummond Mason. These two, a big man and a loser from last year, everyone knew, including themselves. They were just used to make up the numbers, but the fans still cheered a lot.

Richard Jefferson is a good dunker, but he relies more on his physical fitness to dunk against the sky. According to expert analysis, Richard Jefferson's jumping height and explosive speed are no worse than Carter's, but his dunk creativity is far worse, so expectations are not high.

When Jason Richardson appeared on the stage, another climax was reached. To be honest, compared to Liu Mang, many people thought that Jason Richardson was Carter's real opponent.

Liu Mang's side is more of a gimmick. Although Liu Mang's dunks are really beautiful after he gets stronger, he doesn't have too many dunks after all. Carter's actual dunks are not enough. On average, one dunk per game is as high as the sky.

Jason Richardson is different. In the past two years, he has been a slam dunk maniac. He can dunk but never shoots. He also had a wonderful performance in last year's slam dunk contest. Although he paid tribute to the famous players, he seems to dunk better than the famous players. Using his own creativity this year?People have more expectations.

Although it was a gimmick, it did not prevent Liu Mang from appearing on the stage, the cheers that had dropped a little from the scene returned to the peak again!
Liu Mang was on the sidelines. He had just been robbed of the Skills Challenge trophy by a little girl who appeared out of nowhere. He heard the DJ calling his name and heard the cheers of the fans. He didn't care about taking the trophy back.

The much-anticipated slam dunk contest is finally coming!

However, unlike fans and expert media, after Liu Mang played, Carter had only one person in his eyes, and that was Liu Mang!
Similarly, the opponent in Liu Mang's eyes is only Carter!
