From today on is the king

Chapter 870. Chapter 869. Top Star Dwyane Wade
"Kwame, what are you doing?" Liu Mang watched Kwame-Brown walking around, his head growing big.

After arriving in Miami, Liu Mang took a nap and went to the hotel's gym to train his back muscles. As soon as he stretched his waist muscles, Kwame Brown wandered in and out.

"Boss, O'Neill is going to be played tomorrow!" Kwame Brown said excitedly, and now he beeped in a panic!

"I know, we came to Miami, you must be here for tourism! The coaches have forbidden us to go out tonight."

"Boss, I'm going to beat O'Neal!" Kwame Brown repeated like a repeater.

"I know! It's not my matchup with him, it's none of my business!" Liu Mang said impatiently.

"Uh..." Kwame Brown felt a stab in the heart.

However, he can't blame Liu Mang yet, because Kwame Brown, apart from panicking, is also very pleasantly surprised!

At 1 o'clock this morning, the first stage of the All-Star Weekend voting, which ended on January 2nd, was announced.

The western center got the most votes. Yao Ming ranked first with 97 votes.

Yao Ming is undoubtedly the best center in the West after Shaquille O'Neal's east tour. The key is that he doesn't know when he started to become more "self".

Among the real NBA active players who play centers, only Yao Ming, Shaquille O'Neal, and Duncan can average 20 points per game. There is no fourth one.

Mourning suddenly encountered kidney disease in 2000. At the beginning, he made a mistake in the examination and thought it was a common kidney disease. He failed to get timely and correct treatment and waited three years before getting a kidney transplant. It is indeed a pity, otherwise there would be a fourth one.

Yao Ming ranked first with 97 votes, and Brad Miller, Marcus Camby, Wang Zhizhi, and Dampier from second to fifth combined did not have as many votes as Yao Ming.

Wang Zhizhi has entered the roster this year. The Lakers really couldn't find a few players who were listed as candidates for the All-Star starting lineup. However, with Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi didn't get many votes from Chinese fans.

For Western forwards, Double 21 dominates the screen again. Both of them have more than 70 votes. The third is Richard Jefferson with 55 votes. After that, there are no more than 30 votes. Nowitzki and Anthony have more than 30 votes.

Richard Jefferson got into Yao Ming's car, and like Francis in the previous two years, his popularity soared in China, that is, the popularity of Double 21 was stable. Similar to how Francis couldn't shake Kobe, Richard Jefferson couldn't shake Double 21.
As for the guards in the West, Kobe has 79 votes, which is still the number one guard in the West. Francis is second with 41 votes, Nash is third with 39 votes, and Ray Allen, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Baron Davis...etc.

After Francis left Yao Ming, his popularity became less secure.

For the guards in the Eastern Conference, Liu Mang ranked first with 92 votes, Iverson ranked second with 86 votes, James ranked third with 56 votes, and Jason Terry ranked fourth with 54 votes.

The All-Star starters of Liu Mang and Iverson are still very stable. Liu Mang is defending his title and is the scoring leader. Iverson was still as stable as an All-Star starter in the last season of the 35-2009 season until he was 2010 years old.

For the forwards in the Eastern Conference, Cousins ​​continues to occupy the two starting positions. Tracy McGrady has 94 votes, which is also the temporary leader in the Eastern Conference. Carter is ranked second with 74 votes. Raheem and Grant Hill are both more than 60 votes.

For the Eastern center, Kwame Brown was surprised and panicked. Kwame Brown ranked first among the Eastern Conference centers with 79 votes!Overwhelming O'Neill with 62 votes!The third Ben Wallace has only 19 votes, and the votes for the Eastern center position are basically concentrated on Kwame Brown and O'Neal. The fans are making trouble.

According to unreliable gossip media, this number of votes has a lot to do with the extremely enthusiastic participation of California fans in the All-Star voting. There were sinister laughter in the training hall of Toyota Center in Los Angeles early in the morning.

But no matter what the reason is, it is Kwame Brown who has made a profit. The words he said in the interview before are the fuse that triggered all this.

When Kwame Brown saw that he beat O'Neal in the votes, he felt his hairs stand on end!
At that time, he had the urge to become an All-Star starter, but he was fooled by Liu Mang. Now, breathing the air of Miami, he seemed to feel O'Neal's anger.

Kwame-Brown was very sad and indignant when he saw Liu Mang's attitude that he had nothing to do with himself, but the thief boat was already on board, and the other party who jumped into the river would probably chase him down, maybe even worse, so Kwame-Brown could only grit his teeth and go on.

Kwame Brown continued to say to Liu Mang cheekily: "Boss, don't say that. I was defeated by O'Neal, so what should I do if I can't make the All-Star starter? Our team doesn't have three All-Star starters!"

"Why can't you make the All-Star starter? Don't you already have more votes than O'Neal? It will definitely be possible." Liu Mang gave Kwame Brown a little encouragement.

"But I know myself very well, I am not O'Neill's opponent..." Kwame Brown is quite self-aware.

Really, Liu Mang glanced at Kwame Brown helplessly. This guy has self-knowledge and a very good mentality, but he is too impulsive like the "whimsical" of young players.

After thinking about it, Liu Mang had a solution, and said, "Kwame, it doesn't matter if you get blown up by O'Neal, you just have to work hard, do your best, even if you get blown up, don't give in, that's enough!"

"Huh?" Kwame Brown didn't understand.

"You are stupid! Don't those fans who voted for you know that O'Neal is the number one center forward? What they like is your mentality of not being afraid of O'Neal, and your fighting spirit even if you are beaten by O'Neal on the court. Otherwise, why would they vote for you?" Liu Mang got to the point.

The increase in the number of votes that Liu Mang brought to his teammates was mainly concentrated on McGrady and Jason Terry. McGrady had higher votes than Liu Mang, which made Liu Mang unhappy to see McGrady now. Jason Terry also ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference guards.

Kwame Brown also got some bonus votes because of Liu Mang, but mainly because of his troublesome interview, as well as Kwame Brown's gratifying progress, and his attitude of doing his best every time he meets O'Neal, which makes those fans want to see how Kwame Brown will be abused by the furious O'Neal...

As long as Kwame Brown keeps his momentum, even if he loses in the matchup with O'Neal, as long as he faces O'Neal with all his strength, let O'Neal go all out to abuse him, fans will always want to see this scene...

Although it is a little bit different from what Liu Mang said, the fans may not really like Kwame Brown, but Kwame Brown believes such ambiguous words!

"I see, Boss, I will try my best not to disappoint you and the fans!"

……

……

On the second day, January 1, the Eagles challenged the Heat away.

After Liu Mang attended the team meeting in the morning and tactical training in the afternoon, he was discussing with McGrady, Prince, Iguodala, and Calderon how to deal with the Heat's back line.

Mourning will not be soft when dealing with his old club.

Especially about O'Neal, Mourning racked his brains to teach Kwame Brown how to deal with O'Neal.

At 08:30 p.m., after eating a nutritious meal, the Eagles came to the American Airlines Center to prepare for the live broadcast of the game on ABC TV, China's Chaoting Sports Channel and Time Warner Cable TV starting at [-]:[-] p.m.

When the Eagles were warming up, a huge fat man was stopped outside the visiting team's training ground, yelling constantly.

That's right, this person is O'Neill.

After O'Neal came to the arena, the first thing he did was to find Kwame Brown.

It is impossible to fight, he just wants to scare Kwame Brown to vent his grievances.

But when he came to the gate of the visiting team's training ground, he was stopped by security!
"Let me in! This is our team's arena." O'Neill said angrily, and the two security guards actually stopped him from letting him in.

"This..." Security also has a headache!
"Let me in! Or I'll let Pat Riley fire you!" O'Neal yelled.

"us……"

Someone from the Eagles had ordered that O'Neal not be allowed in. If they let O'Neal in and the Eagles complained to them, they would be fired, but if O'Neal was not allowed in and O'Neal complained to them, they might be fired as well.

Now the two security guards don't know what to do, so they can only bite the bullet and stop O'Neal. When O'Neal complains, they can still say that they are arranged by the Heat management to protect the Eagles players. The Eagles players are their current protection objects. They must listen to what the protection objects say. If O'Neal is let in, as long as he is complained, he will definitely be fired because it violates the job content.

But if O'Neill complains to them, they can still have a say, and the possibility of being fired is a little lower.

"Ah, hello, Shaq."

At this time Liu Mang came, he had expected this scene a long time ago, he ordered the security guard to stop O'Neill, but in order to prevent the two innocent security guards from being retaliated by the narrow-minded fat man, he waited all the time, and whenever there was a quarrel at the door, he immediately went to open the door and said hello to O'Neill.

Sure enough, when O'Neill saw Liu Mang coming, he forgot the two security guards.

"Ace, what do you mean, don't let me go in and catch up with you and Tracy?" O'Neal spit at Liu Mang.

Liu Mang hid aside, pointed to the door: "Shaq, look there!"

O'Neill hadn't noticed anything on the door before.

O'Neill looked at the writing on the door and read: "Eagle's temporary training facility, no entry for anyone over 310 pounds-Kwame Brown...Damn it, I'm going to blow you up tonight! Make you lose your basketball dreams!"

310 lbs... Before Yao Ming had reached his heaviest weight, O'Neal was the only one in the NBA who weighed more than 310 lbs. It was obviously aimed at him!
After reading it, O'Neill roared towards the training ground.

After O'Neill roared angrily, he vented a bit, and his mood began to stabilize a bit. He felt that something was wrong, but before he could think about it, Liu Mang spoke again: "Shaq, how many points are you going to score tonight? Let's get mentally prepared!"

"Ah?" O'Neill didn't expect Liu Mang to react like this when his teammates were threatened. He always felt that something was wrong, and now it felt even more wrong.

O'Neill came to Kwame Brown for a purpose. He threatened Kwame Brown in order to destroy Kwame Brown's confidence, but he didn't expect that his mentality was out of balance when he came here.

Now seeing Liu Mang seemed very excited, O'Neill felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he asked, "Ace, what do you mean?"

"Wow, Shaq, you are not as courageous as Kobe. After Kobe lost to us last time, he said that he would score 62 points in the next match against us, which is one more point than you." Liu Mang began to sow discord again.

"Ah?" O'Neal never expected that Liu Mang would say this.

O'Neal did the math. When he scored 61 points last time, he made 35 shots, made 24 shots, made more than 20 free throws, and made 13 free throws to get 61 points...

So here comes the question, O'Neill doesn't know whether to speak boldly or not?
He could just open his mouth if he let it go, but if he said the score was low, it would be a head lower than Kobe's. If it was high, he himself felt that he couldn't do it, and he would be ashamed at that time!
O'Neill is also very thoughtful, and immediately found a solution, saying: "Hmph, I don't bother to compare with that guy, Dwyane will score 50 points in this game and blow you away!"

O'Neal arrived at the arena a few minutes later, wanting to ask Liu Mang to say hello, and Wade just arrived, when he heard this, his legs went limp!

"Boss Shaq, what are you talking about!" Wade didn't dare to go past the corner, "Boss Shaq is crazy!"

Liu Mang was also shocked by O'Neill's sudden shamelessness, fellow man!
Liu Mang and O'Neill looked at each other, and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other...

……

Kobe turned on the TV and waited for a while to watch the national broadcast of the Eagles and Heat. The Lakers didn't have a game today, and the next game was at home, so he could watch the game at home.

Who knew that when the TV was turned on, the commentator of the Time Warner live broadcast before the game was discussing the matter of "Kobe boasted that he would score 62 points one more point than O'Neal next time he played against the Hawks".

Kobe was confused: When did I say this?Do you want to refute the rumors?Let's not refute the rumors...

……

……

At [-]:[-] in the evening, the Eagles' away game against the Heat was about to begin.

Mourning returned to Miami and got booed, mainly because he didn't come back to Atlanta when the Heat needed a backup inside.

Mourning felt overwhelmed. He expected that most of the fans in Miami would go as long as they lost the game. This is such a virtue, but when he actually encountered this scene, he was still very overwhelmed. He brought two best defensive players to this team!

Heat fans have always been known for their fickleness. After booing Mourning, they went to boo the five starters that the Eagles played.

The fans at the scene are very enthusiastic now, because the Heat have risen, and the fans in front of the TV are also full of enthusiasm for this game.

The conversation between O'Neill and Liu Mang outside the training ground was leaked by someone, maybe it was leaked by the two security guards who may be part-time "information sources".

This game has some extra points to watch, and it also creates a point of view for the next time the Lakers play the Hawks away.

The point of this game is, can Wade score at least 50 points against the Hawks?
After Wade entered the court, he jumped up and hung on the neck of the basket. After despairing for a long time, he regained his energy and just did it!

There is also the duel between Kwame Brown and O'Neal. O'Neal yelled that he would abuse Kwame Brown so much that he didn't want to play basketball, just like the center who was dunked by Carter Leaping and retired within two years.

This is what the fans want to see. Under O'Neal's coercion, can Kwame Brown continue to be so aggressive?
The human heart is like this...

Liu Mang looked at the Heat and observed the strength of the opponent's two strongest players.

O'Neal's ability evaluation is still 96. After the weight was reduced to 141 kg, the continuous output became higher, but the absolute output was weaker, and he was able to play longer. So far this season, O'Neal has averaged 38 minutes per game, reaching a new high since the 00-01 season. His average of 23 points, 11 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game is also the strongest in the center position, but his shooting percentage is a career low of 50.00%. Completely invincible, still the most invincible in the center position, but the dominance has dropped a lot.

O'Neill's side is expected. He will be 33 soon, and the decline is normal. At 33 years old, he still has a 96 ability rating, which is already a monster. This is a center forward.

What Liu Mang valued was Wade.

Dwyane Wade, ability rating 90...

Sure enough, as Liu Mang expected, Wade was a little stronger than James in the early stage!
In terms of statistics, Wade's average of 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists per game is slightly worse than that of James, but his defense is stronger!In the case that the offensive rating is 92 and he is not good at long-range shooting, Wade's defensive rating of 87 is the key to his first step into the top star!

But Liu Mang was still a little bit surprised, this guy Wade...

On Wade's side, the fat man said that, he can only fight, he has been training hard, isn't it just for this day!
