From today on is the king

Chapter 648. 647. "On Heroes by Cooking Wine"

"I can't even play in the starting lineup. It's really useless. I was squeezed into the bench by a second-year and third-year player. I'm really ashamed to be in the same class as you."

"Oh, I've been teammates with Chinese players for a long time, and I always use the word shame. It's not bad. I'm not as good as you as a starter in the All-Stars by relying on Chinese players to canvass votes. But I can win in the playoffs, which feels good."

"Before Yao didn't come, I also made the All-Star starter!"

"Really, who knows, I'm the real All-Star selected by the coaches!"

"..." Francis was so blocked by Jason Terry's big mouth that he couldn't find any words to fight back. Looking at Jason Terry, who seemed a bit too strong, Francis regretted why he followed Yao Ming to attend that bastard Liu Mang's New Year's Eve party.

Jason - Terry and Francis this pair of old enemies began to fight each other again.

……

"Levia, long time no see, I haven't seen you much recently." Steven Price toasted Levia, the hostess of today's party.

"Oh, Steven, I will come to every home game, but you are too busy as the big boss, so you didn't see me." Levia smiled.

"Haha, I also go to the scene to watch every game. Maybe because Ace is too dazzling, I dare not take my eyes off the game every game. By the way, how is the old man? I haven't visited his old man for many years." Steven Price shifted the embarrassing topic he provoked.

"Daddy is in good health, I will bring your greetings to him..."

Two local tyrants with complicated family backgrounds were exchanging greetings.

……

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha……"

"Ahahahahahahaha..."

Ye Li and Dinah kept laughing while watching the court international channel, which made the little boys and girls who wanted to play with Dinah very puzzled, what's so good about the TV programs that they can't understand or understand.

……

"Are you sure? Once you make a bet, you can't go back on your word! If you really don't think about it, then I will open..."

"Damn! Matt, you're so lucky!"

"Haha, I have reminded you, but if you still don't change, don't blame me..."

Some Eagles players and Rockets players were gambling, some were chatting with old friends, some were eating barbecue and some food prepared by the invited chef, and some went to play on the outdoor court behind the villa. Coach Kruger was also on the basketball court with Jimmy Butler, who now has meat to eat and grows strong. Coach Kruger personally guided his godson to practice.

……

"Da Yao, when will you and Sister Ye Li get married?" Liu Mang asked Yao Ming who was next to him. Looking at the quite different New Year's Eve Party, Liu Mang felt pretty good.

Do as the Romans do, if Americans want to invite people to celebrate Christmas, at least it is a party, otherwise they would rather spend it at home, so on the morning of the 22nd, which is the beginning of the Chinese New Year’s Eve on the 21st in China, Liu Wei invited the Eagles players, the coaching staff and some colleagues from the logistics department to hold a party together. Yao Ming also brought a few teammates, Francis, Mobley, Kevin Cato, Jim Jackson, Witherspoon, Mark Xun The players that the team could put on the cards were brought by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming and Ye Li finally confirmed their relationship at last year's Asian Games. Now it's the two-week holiday of the WCBA Spring Festival. Ye Li specially came to the United States to celebrate the New Year with Yao Ming. Liu Mang and Yao Ming made an appointment to celebrate the New Year together, so he brought Ye Li along.

Ye Li seems to like children very much. It just so happens that Dinah's Chinese is really 6, so she and Dinah watched the Spring Festival Gala in the early morning.

"We're still early, we're all fighting for the future, so there's no rush." ​​Yao Ming looked at this unprecedented New Year's Eve Party and felt good, at least it was much better than last year's New Year's Eve in a hotel alone.

However, Yao Ming looked at Liu Mang's teammates, who completely overwhelmed his teammates with confidence, and felt very envious.

I am even more envious that Liu Mang will become the All-Star ticket king.

It's a lie to say that they don't care about this kind of thing. Every star will say that he doesn't care about the votes. Liu Mang also said that, but every time it's time to announce the votes, he can't help but look at them.

Yao Ming sighed: "Your goal this year is to compete for the championship! We will be miserable. We can only try to see if we can break through the first round. Do you think it is possible for us to pass the first round?"

"I don't think it's possible." Liu Mang said without hesitation.

"..." Yao Ming's generous face twitched, "Ace, why don't you be so direct!"

"It's that straightforward, look at what teammates your boss got for you," Liu Mang couldn't help complaining, "Your boss is too picky! He has made a lot of money from you in the past two years, right?"

"..." Yao Ming felt a little depressed when he thought about it, but as for the Chinese, it's okay for him to say that his company is not good, but others say he wants to maintain it: "Boss Freddie, Mobley, and Jim Jackson are still fine. Boss Fred has made All-Star starts for the third consecutive year."

For Francis, who has always taken care of himself, Yao Ming is also willing to call Francis the boss.

Hearing Yao Ming's words, Liu Mang's heart burning with complaints.

It seemed that he was a little sorry for his "identity" as the All-Star voter and the second-ranked Yao Ming in the Western Conference. Liu Mang found an empty table. The two sat facing each other, took a bottle of white wine, and poured a glass for himself and Yao Ming.

The posture is fully set, Liu Mang and Wei Taizu are possessed, and the power of the head of state is activated...

Seeing that Liu Mang had a disagreement, Yao Ming ran to work for a long time to arrange tables, chairs and drinks. After sitting down with him, he didn't understand what Liu Mang was going to do, but seeing Liu Mang's suddenly serious expression and that inexplicable sense of deterrence, Yao Ming suddenly felt a little solemn.

"Dayao, who do you think are the best defenders in the league besides me?" Liu Mang took a sip of his wine and frowned, mainly because it didn't taste good and he didn't like the taste.

But in Yao Ming's view, Liu Mang actually has a posture of pointing the country!Regarding Liu Mang's self-proclaimed best defender, Yao Ming didn't feel like complaining.

Yao Ming thought for a while and said, "McGrady, he is competing with you for the scoring title, and last year he set the highest efficiency value of any perimeter player in history except Jordan."

Liu Mang shook his head: "McGrady has more than enough strength, but lacks energy, and the same goes for his cousin Carter."

Neither McGrady nor Carter?Yao Ming felt that Iverson must be no more. Iverson was killed by Liu Mang in the playoffs last year, so Yao Ming asked, "Is that Kidd? I remember you said that he is your worst enemy."

Liu Mang shook his head again: "Kidd is okay, the team he is in is not too bad, but he doesn't listen to other people's suggestions, he is too conceited about his own strength, thinks everything depends on him alone, and doesn't see the strengths of his teammates. Now that Martin has been driven away by him, it is already difficult for me to regard him as an opponent."

This is also despised, Yao Ming asked again: "Is that Kobe?"

"Cut, a guy who can't do anything without a superstar center. Just wait and see. After I kill him and O'Neal's Lakers, the Lakers will definitely choose to trade away alone. Then you will know how bad Kobe led the team." Liu Mang continued to talk forcefully.

Because it is in Chinese, he is not afraid of being heard and passed on, so Liu Mang is slanderous.

The four major shooting guards and Kidd can't look down on them? Since the 21st century, except for Jordan who came back to play, the All-Star starting guards and a team of guards in the East and West have been counted, so who else?

Yao Ming is a bit confused... Wait, isn't it?

Yao Ming didn't expect Liu Mang to think highly of his teammate so much!
Yao Ming was a little excited: "Is it the boss?"

Liu Mang's vision has always been good. Yao Ming did not expect Liu Mang to think highly of Francis so much. Although he respectfully called Francis the boss of Francis, he knew very well that every time the Rockets met a team with a super guard, Francis would be abused terribly.

Hearing Yao Ming's question, Liu Mang knew the topic was coming, and said disdainfully: "Francis? Dayao, are you sure you're not joking? What does he have? Scoring leader? Or the best team? You think too much, and he's just collecting statistics on a bad team. Do you think the important reason for your record is that he has less ball possession? And this is your best teammate, and your boss still doesn't pick it?"

"Uh..." Yao Ming didn't expect Liu Mang to be so straightforward!Anyway, it is also an 'old friend'!

But Yao Ming thinks about it, it seems to be the case. In his rookie year last season, since the team had hopes of entering the playoffs, coach Tomjanovich reduced Francis’s shot rights and ball holding time. When Francis’ scoring, assists, and rebounding statistics declined, the Rockets actually became stronger. This year, they replaced coach Van Gundy and made this more strict. Statistics, but the Rockets have become stronger!
"Ace, who do you think is the best defender?" Yao Ming was a little confused.

Moreover, Yao Ming was very curious, who else would Liu Mang regard as the best defender?Some of the strongest guards in the league, or the most famous guards are all here, is it still Marbury and his ilk?
Not to mention Liu Mang, Yao Ming has played in the NBA for more than a year, and he doesn't like players like Marbury. Marbury is probably the version of Francis with a bad personality.

Seeing that Liu Mang was about to open his mouth, Yao Ming stared at Liu Mang, curious whose name Liu Mang was going to say.

Liu Mang suddenly showed a smirk: "No, I'm the best one. There is no one else. I just want to compare with you. Your best teammate is so bad, even Kobe Bryant. I just want to say, if you feel dissatisfied with the lineup, you should quickly express your opinion to your boss. Don't be so submissive."
