From today on is the king

Chapter 483. 481. When Routine Meets Routine

"Hahahaha, Ace, you did a great job. You actually beat Carter at the All-Star Weekend, but I'm curious about the dunk that Carter didn't dunk at the end." Jordan was happy but also a little regretful.

I am happy because the undefeated myth of Carter's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest has been broken. Although many people think that Liu Mang's victory is invincible, history is a story written by the winner. The winner is the winner, and the loser is the loser.

Liu Mang defeated Carter. From a certain point of view, it raised Jordan's status in the history of dunking. Originally, before Carter, the strongest dunker in history was between Irving, Wilkins, and Jordan. But after Carter turned out, Carter's invincible posture alone dominated the title of the strongest dunker. Now that Carter's undefeated myth has been broken, Jordan, Wilkins, Irving and others have been placed in the ranks of the best dunkers.

And Jordan's regret, like the regret of all basketball fans now, is that he didn't see what Carter's last dunk was.

"Of course, I won't lose, at any time." Liu Mang of course had to pretend to be coercive at this time.

Today is the last day of the All-Star Weekend, and it is also the core of the entire All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game!

After participating in the autograph event and roundtable meeting with other All-Stars in the morning, at two o’clock in the afternoon, the All-Stars were divided into several groups and went to Atlanta’s orphanages, elderly activity centers, schools for the disabled and other places to do charity activities.

In a group of three, Liu Mang, Jordan and Pierce went to an orphanage to give gifts to children with the film crew of TNT Sports.

Of course, these gifts are all prepared by the players. Liu Mang’s are some toys and other things that Dinah and Levia went to buy together a few days ago. Most of the dolls and other toys cost Liu Mang thousands of dollars.

Pierce and Jordan also prepared some gifts. The gifts chosen by adults and children are very different. Pierce’s clothes are all in line with his experience of being born in a single-parent family and having two older brothers. He didn’t wear a new piece of clothing except for the high school team jersey when he was a child until he got the game bonus in high school.

Jordan bought a lot of educational toys, building blocks, puzzles and so on.

Everyone's gifts have their own family and personality characteristics, there is no distinction between good and bad, they are all a heart.

When it was time to give gifts to the children, the All-Stars were free and had time to chat.

Jordan was full of praise for the fact that Liu Mang used various routines to win the slam dunk champion yesterday.

Pierce has a cold personality and speaks very little.

Qiao Dan heard Liu Mangchou's shameless pretentiousness, and was about to tease a few words, when a fat man next to him interrupted.

"What I admire most about you, Ace, is your confidence."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang and Jordan looked at this big fat man strangely. He had only retired for more than two years, and he had already changed from a short hunk to a chubby Charles Barkley.

Barkley is a member of the filming team of TNT Sports, serving as the host of the group of two All-Star substitutes led by Liu Mang, the All-Star starter today.

At the beginning, Barkley didn't participate in the discussion between the two. When Liu Mang first met Barkley, the two greeted each other without any other emotions, just like the feeling of someone who had just met.

Liu Mang was not too upset about Barkley's confrontation with him everywhere, because he was always the one to show off. Although he was passive in showing off, his popularity did increase a lot because of it.

When Barkley, the loser of the bet, didn't deliberately embarrass Liu Mang or say bad things, Liu Mang didn't care about those things either.

After getting on the bus, Barkley also kept silent. When Pierce talked for a while as usual and then quieted down, only Liu Mang and Jordan were bragging. Barkley wanted to intervene. Now he finally had the opportunity to intervene decisively.

However, this sudden compliment made Liu Mang, who was talking and laughing happily with Jordan, feel baffled, and Jordan looked at Barkley with strange eyes.

Has this fat man changed his gender?

impossible!

Jordan did not hesitate to ask Barkley why he behaved so weirdly today. Barkley was hostile to Liu Mang every time. As Barkley's friend and greatest enemy, Jordan knew this very well. He defeated Barkley many times in the past, and each time made Barkley's resentment deeper.

This time I suddenly showed my favor to Liu Mang, there is a ghost on the cliff!

Jordan looked at Barkley with great interest, what is this fat man going to do?
Liu Mang was stunned for a few seconds before choking out a sentence: "Thank you."

This time it was Barkley's turn to be stunned, he was so confident!
Barkley has always learned about Liu Mang through news, interviews, and the Eagles games he broadcasted. This is the first time he has met Liu Mang. Unexpectedly, Liu Mang is as confident as the rumors say.

And... how polite!Actually said thank you!
Still, it's a good start for Barkley.

"Oh, Ace, do you think I'm being polite?" Barkley asked.

Liu Mang looked at Jordan, and then at Pierce, who was distributing toys and clothes to the 67 children in the orphanage. No one cared about him, so he could only nod to Barkley, expressing that he really took it as a polite remark.

Liu Mang really took Barkley's words as a polite remark, because he and Barkley had no interaction at all other times except for the "confrontation" in the live broadcast of the United States. Liu Mang didn't feel that he and Barkley had any enmity. Barkley's bets were more of an entertainment effect, because those bets did allow TNT to compete with ESPN, a behemoth in the American TV industry, in terms of ratings despite all aspects being unfavorable.

Who knew Barkley suddenly yelled: "You are wrong!"

Buckley's voice startled Liu Mang, Jordan, Pierce, and the videographer with the camera next to him. Even the bus driver, the head of the orphanage, bodyguards, security guards and others who were driving in front were startled. The bus driver was so scared that he almost stepped on the gas pedal. Fortunately, he was a professional, quick-witted and quick-responsive.

The driver wanted to swear, but he held back when he saw a few burly bodyguards in black in the rearview mirror.

Liu Mang hurriedly said, "Hey, fat brother, your life is at stake! Tell me what you have to say!"

Liu Mang could see that Barkley must have some purpose, although he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but as he said, life matters!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Barkley hurriedly apologized when Liu Mang, Jordan, and Pierce were frightened, and then said, "I'm just angry at what you said, Ace!"

"Angry?" Liu Mang felt that the fat man had taken the wrong medicine today!
Pierce and Jordan also looked at Barkley, this fat man definitely took the wrong medicine!
"Of course, Ace, you are the pioneer of our NBA court dance. You are the pride of our NBA court dance world!" Barkley decisively put a high hat on Liu Mang first, and then sighed: "But only us NBA players dance NBA court dance. I feel that it is a waste of your creativity, Ace, we need to promote it!"

"I've been thinking about how to promote NBA court dancing, and I finally thought of it. This All-Star Weekend is the best stage to promote NBA court dancing to the world. Ace, you think so too!"

Liu Mang finally understood, co-authoring that the fat man is so weird today was because of this idea, because he was afraid that he would not participate in the dancing session before the start of the All-Star Game.

This fat man... is really invincible even if he is the cheapest!Not only did he think of such a serious reason, but he also put pressure on Liu Mang by the side of Jordan, the No.

At this time, if Liu Mang only needs to say a word of approval, Buckley will immediately propose to dance a square dance together to promote Liu Mang.

Liu Mang completely guessed Buckley's little thoughts.

What a fat man!
In just a few seconds, Liu Mang guessed what Buckley was thinking, and Liu Mang's acting skills were not covered.

When Barkley was about to wait for Liu Mang to say yes and then throw out the condom, Liu Mang struck first!

"Wow, Mr. Buckley, you actually thought of going with me! It seems that the two of us are really destined! I have already prepared to promote this All-Star Weekend!" Liu Mang said excitedly.

"Ah...?" This time it was Buckley's turn to be surprised.

Before Buckley could react, Liu Mang continued to ask excitedly: "By the way, Mr. Buckley, what are your preparations? Are you going to dance yourself? Or did you invite someone?"

Barkley replied subconsciously: "I invited David Stern, and I am going to..."

Before Barkley could finish the rest, Liu Mang interrupted: "That's great, you are the most popular commentator in the American commentary world, plus the NBA president, the official NBA figure, will definitely be able to bring NBA court dancing to the world! How about it, you and the president will also join my dance troupe!"

accepted?Is that a promise?Buckley also prepared a bunch of words to persuade Liu Mang. Unexpectedly, Liu Mang proposed it on his own initiative. Buckley said quickly, "That's great! Of course!"

"Okay, it's settled like this! Let's fight and dance then!"

"it is good!"

Pierce next to him looked at the agreement reached by the two and said something boring in his heart, and then continued to distribute gifts to the children. Due to Pierce’s childhood experience, he attached great importance to the distribution, because he was not taken seriously when he was a child. The distribution of new clothes and new toys belonged to his two older brothers, and the ones he got were all eliminated by the older brothers, so now he attaches great importance to this.

But Jordan, seeing Liu Mang's abnormal behavior today, always felt something was wrong!
It seems that Liu Mang was tricked by Barkley and jumped in by himself, but Jordan just felt that something was wrong!
