From today on is the king

Chapter 663
In the parking lot of a supermarket next to Dinah's school, Liu Mang was waiting for Dinah and Alexia to leave school, and Levia had already driven to the arena by herself.

Today is such an important game. After the game, whether it is a win or a loss, the Eagles will have a large-scale interview. In addition to the game, there will be a public interview session for the four All-Stars and the players who participated in the rookie game and the three-point contest. It may be early in the morning after the end. Liu Mang definitely has no way to send them home. They can only go first, so Levia drives by herself.

Of course, because it was such an important game, the three girls in the family were all basketball fans, especially Liu Mang's fanatical fans, so it was impossible to miss it.

"Use the mid-level superstar value to draw a lottery and designate a star card."

"The host uses the mid-level superstar value to draw a lottery, specifying a 50.00% chance to draw a star card..."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for getting a rebound card."

"Huh? It's been a long time since I got this, let's just let it go and keep smoking!"

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for getting..."

"..."

"..."

After the previous lottery draw, Liu Mang's superstar value was only 25601 points left, and the items drawn in the four lottery draws were rebound cards, intermediate injury potions, and Eddie House's star cards.

The first two are very good, the star card is a little bit less.

Liu Mang was hesitating whether to continue drawing. There were only more than 2 superstar points left. Although the Timberwolves were important opponents, they were only in the regular season, and they were basically unlikely to meet in the playoffs.

However, this could be an MVP fight!

It is not easy to beat the Timberwolves. During the two-day rest period, the Eagles have been studying how to deal with the Timberwolves. As a result, when it came to the tactical training this morning, the tactics arranged by the coaching staff were... tough!
There are really not many ways. If you want to use one word to describe the current situation with the three-headed monster, the Timberwolves system coached by Philip Saunders can be described as "perfect".

It’s not that Liu Mang has never watched Timberwolves games, but he is not a professional tactical analyst. The reason why academic coaches are more likely to succeed than player-type coaches is because they use scientific knowledge to analyze tactics, unlike player-type coaches who rely on experience and... chicken soup.

When analyzing the Eagles' team tactics, after a wave of analysis by coach Kruger, Liu Mang knew how good the Timberwolves' system is. The defensive system constructed by using Garnett and the offensive system constructed by Cassel and Garnett can be described as perfect.

If it weren't for Garnett's teammates who were a little bit inferior, only Kassel was an All-Star and Madman was a quasi-All-Star, mainly because another All-Star Szczerbiak was reimbursed for the season after only playing for one month at the beginning of the season, otherwise they would be even stronger!
After some analysis by the coaching staff, Liu Mang's feeling for this Timberwolves team is the poor man's version of the Big Three Celtics!
Only then did Liu Mang understand why Rivers was later called Chicken Soup Coach, because the Celtics’ tactical play style was not his own idea at all, but a direct copy of the Timberwolves’ tactics in 04. He just upgraded Sprewell to Ray Allen, Szczerbiak to Pierce, and asked Kassel to teach Rondo how to control the overall situation. heart.

Of course, this is also a kind of ability. It is a difficult thing to make players willingly go all out to play. It is also a very good coaching ability to bring all the players together.

Liu Mang thinks that Coach Saunders is really good. He remembered that in the summer of 05, after the Pistons fired Larry Brown, they hired Coach Saunders as the head coach. At that time, everyone thought that the Pistons were doomed.

The original lineup of the Pistons is undoubtedly better than the Timberwolves, and it may be better than the Timberwolves now, but the system of coach Saunders makes this Timberwolves very strong, very strong. The Lakers only drew 2 to 2 with the Timberwolves in the first four games of the playoffs.

Peak Garnett is more terrifying than imagined.

But that's MVP!
If the superstar value is gone, it’s a big deal to accumulate slowly, and if you can’t get the MVP, that’s aggrieved. This is the first time you’re so close to the MVP!
Moreover, looking at the rogue value of more than 4700 million, when the results of the All-Star voting came out, the rogue value increased a lot, and when things happened during the midway voting, it also increased a lot. This was the time when the domestic large-scale publicity and won the highest number of votes in the All-Star history.

But, on the contrary, when it came to the All-Star Weekend, everything was settled, and the hooligan value rose slowly, because Liu Mang's limelight had already passed by then.

The original superstar value of more than 56000 points, and another [-] points were awarded as the All-Star Ticket King reward.

After the All-Star Weekend, all the strong teams in the league will start to exert their strength. It will be difficult for Liu Mang to attract such a high level of attention. Therefore, winning the MVP has become the goal that Liu Mang must achieve. Just for the playoffs and the championship, Liu Mang feels that it is not enough to increase his rogue value by 5000 million!

Liu Mang had a vague feeling that his current teammates might be the best in his career!

With a salary cap of only a little over $5000 million, it is too difficult for a team to have four All-Stars, one All-Star leftover Rasheed Wallace and one All-Star borderline Jason Terry. Next season Raheem will face the situation of jumping out of his contract and getting a bigger contract, and it will be time for Liu Mang to get a big contract next season!

When Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown were traded, the salary cap was already exceeded, and then Jason Terry was officially renewed with the bird rights. Jason Terry’s salary increased by more than 600 million, and then signed three rookies. Signed Stockton, the salary of the Eagles this season has reached 5900 million, which is close to the luxury tax threshold. It is difficult to have such a group of teammates in the future!

Liu Mang thinks it’s more up to him to know which rookies will be overlooked, let the Eagles pick him, and the history of the league will be changed because of Liu Mang, but those players who are not favored are college or European league players, and it has nothing to do with the history of the NBA influenced by Liu Mang. up.

At this time, he can enjoy the rookie bonus and have such a group of teammates. Liu Mang feels that this season is the best opportunity to attack the MVP of the regular season!
Although the FMVP is also very good, there is still a qualitative gap in the influence of the regular season MVP.

Liu Mang gritted his teeth, smoke it!Once the superstar value is gone, it will be gone!There are not many chances to win the MVP. Don't you see that Kobe, who is also a Langbi-type player, doesn't have many chances to win the regular season MVP. This kind of thing is really bad!
"Boss of the system, there will be another mid-level superstar prize draw, or the designated star card!"

""The host uses the mid-level superstar value to draw a lottery, specifying a 50.00% chance to draw a star card..."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for getting the Joe Johnson peak star card."

"Ding... Joe Johnson 06-07 version, ability evaluation 89, three-pointer 79, mid-range shot 97, layup 82, speed 88, strength 83..."

"Damn it!!" Liu Mang didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly!

Contemporary Jordan!

That 97's CIC ability evaluation is too much!

"06-07 contemporary Jordan... No, what is Johnson's data?"

"Ding... Joe Johnson averaged 06 points, 07 rebounds and 25 assists per game in the 4.2-4.4 season, shooting 40.00% from the field, 20.00% from the three-point range, 40.00% from the mid-range, 50.00% from the free throw line, 40.00% from long distances, and 40.00% from close range."

"...It's really Jordan, the mid-range shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage...but this mid-range shooting is too exaggerated! No wonder he is called contemporary Jordan!"

Liu Mang fell into ecstasy!

Happiness came so suddenly!
"Uncle, uncle..."

Just when Liu Mang was being silly, he suddenly heard the sound of slapping the car window, turned his head and saw that Little Lolita and Alexia were looking at him like idiots.

"Why are you smirking?" Dinah asked speechlessly, "Dinah has been calling you for a long time!" Little Lolita said dissatisfied.

so awkward!Liu Mang got wise in a hurry: "I was thinking that we would go to Los Angeles after today's game. By the way, I laughed just now...was it silly?"

"Yes, very silly." Dinah nodded seriously, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the teacher."

Liu Mang looked at Alexia, and Alexia nodded decisively.

"..."

Liu Mang opened the car door, this time he was humiliated!
I don't know if the stupidity just now was seen by passers-by. Liu Mang imagined himself smirking, and the image of an idiot appeared in his mind. If this image was seen and photographed by some reporter, his fame would be ruined!

After Dinah and Alexia got into the car, they quickly closed the windows and stayed away from this place.

"Uncle, Dinah and the teacher have already asked for leave, and we will go to Los Angeles tomorrow!" Dinah cheered excitedly from the back row.

"Aida, is it so easy for you to ask for leave?" Liu Mang was a little curious, is it so easy for American schools to ask for leave?
"It's easy for Dana to ask for leave. It's not easy for us teachers, but our principal is also a fan of your Ace, so it's much more convenient." Alexia smiled.

"I have such a great influence?" Liu Mang never thought that he could influence a school principal to grant a leave slip!

"Uncle, you don't know, our principal uses you to encourage the students during school celebrations! Last time he came to the teacher to ask for your autographed football card!" Dinah and You Rongyan seemed to be the one who became famous.

"...No wonder Aida you asked me for an autograph, I thought it was your collection..." Liu Mang realized that he was thinking too much.

"Haha, Ace, I can see you every day, why do I want your autograph?" Alexia covered her mouth and smiled.

Looking at Alexia who was giggling in the rearview mirror, Liu Mang suddenly had an idea: "...By the way, Aida, why don't you stop being a teacher."

"I'm not working, you support me! I have to pay off my credit card next month!" Alexia rolled her eyes.

As soon as Alexia said this, she suddenly felt something was wrong, and the atmosphere in the car became weird.

Little Loli looked at the teacher who wanted to hit her "father" badly with hostile eyes, and then looked at Liu Mang's head that popped up in front of her with vigilant eyes.

With this delicate atmosphere, Liu Mang couldn't help but say, "Okay! I..."

Before Liu Mang finished speaking, Dinah interrupted forcefully: "Okay! Uncle pays the teacher's salary, so the teacher will be Dinah's tutor!"

"..."

"..."

The subtle feeling disappeared all of a sudden, Liu Mang and Alexia didn't notice that there was a little loli next to them at all!

Evil little loli!It ruined my good deed again!If it is not so big, it must be spanked to vent the hatred in my heart!
"Ahem, I like children very much, I'll continue to be a teacher!" Alexia took the lead to change the topic.

"Well, it's good to be a teacher, usually you won't be bored, and there are such long vacations in summer, we can still go to play together..."

……

……

At [-]:[-] p.m., players from the two teams entered the Phillips Arena.

When the Timberwolves players entered the field, especially when the madman Sprewell entered the field, the cheers reached the highest point.

"Murderer", "scum", "scum" and other abuse were thrown at Sprewell.

Last season, Sprewell wanted to offend Liu Mang. Although Sprewell asked for trouble in the end and was reimbursed for the season, Liu Mang was not hurt, but Eagles fans still hate this guy.

But a madman is a madman who raised his Wang Baoqiang-style Nezha head and didn't care about the fans' abuse.

On the contrary, Garnett played against the Eagles for the first time this season, and he was not as arrogant as the previous two seasons before the game. The main reason is that this year is a year with a real chance to win the championship!
Garnett began to face up to the strong teams in another division, and the Eagles are undoubtedly the team that is most likely to become the final opponent. The previous Garnett team was not good at high and low. They looked down on weak teams and couldn't beat top teams.

But now that the Timberwolves have the strength to compete for the championship, Garnett also began to study the East, and then began to be afraid.

The most important thing is the Eagles in front of us!
Not all teams are the Lakers. Last year's Spurs met the Nets in the finals and almost capsized in the gutter. They were forced to the sixth game by Kidd and Kenyon Martin, and most of the games were narrowly won.

And this season, Kidd did not decline, and Kenyon Martin still made progress. The two teams played against each other in the first three times, and the Nets were slaughtered by the Hawks one after another.

This season, the Eagles have made large-scale reinforcements, showing a strong team attitude, and achieved the best half-time record of 42 wins and 8 losses in the new century!
Garnett looked at Liu Mang, and Liu Mang also looked at Garnett. The confrontation between the most arrogant inside and the most arrogant outside in the league is about to begin!

"Ding... Season mission released: Battle of Kings."
