From today on is the king

Chapter 912 911. New Friend, Chris Paul

"Ding... The task of dancing with giants is completed, and the host gets a reward: Dwyane Wade 2003-2004 version of the star card."

Liu Mang was a little confused. After looking at the tasks marked as completed, he noticed that the task description was different from what he thought.

"Dancing with Giants: The host needs to win all the next games against the Heat and Rockets. Task reward: Dwyane Wade's 03-04 season star card, 20000 superstar points; failure penalty: All-Star weekend invites O'Neal and Yao Ming to dance together."

In this quest description, Liu Mang had previously ignored the invitation to the All-Star Weekend. Since invitations are required during the All-Star Weekend, the games after the All-Star Weekend are not related to the quest. The last game before the All-Star Weekend is over, and the quest is completed immediately.

In fact, it was Liu Mang who called O'Neal back in the locker room and asked how he was doing, how he was playing during the All-Star Weekend, and he was sure when he heard that he was fine. At first, Liu Mang thought it was Fatty who was reimbursed. Yao Ming didn't exist, and he had finished two games with the Rockets this season.

Liu Mang was taken aback at first, that would be no fun, the East has no opponents at all.

Having won a championship once is just so arrogant.

Winning the championship is of course great. Liu Mang really wants to win the championship again and win consecutive championships.

It's not a problem to crush to reach the finals, or even crush to win the championship, but if the opponent is injured along the way, relying on this to win the championship... Maybe you don't care about it when you win the first championship, but after you have a championship guarantee, you will always feel a little regretful.

Liu Mang still wants to fight against a healthy opponent, mainly the Heat. If they don't beat the Heat who are in the strongest state, how can they make the big-cheeked brothers feel hopeless?
However, there will be no dancing on the All-Star Weekend, and Liu Mang is a little bit regretful. When he called O’Neill just now, Liu Mang casually asked O’Neill how to play at the All-Star Weekend. O’Neill said a lot, and Liu Mang remembered dancing.

It is impossible for him to dance, and Liu Mang will never do it.

After thinking about it for this year's All-Star Weekend, the head coach is not Coach Kruger. It must be no fun to play in the game, but you have to have fun, otherwise going to Denver will be nothing but publicity, it's too boring.

Raheem has also lost his All-Star this season. Except for James and Milicic, two 03-generation All-Star substitutes this season, the other 12 All-Star substitutes are all players from the top five teams in the East and West. The head coaches of 30 teams still have the same standard for selecting All-Star substitutes.

Who else can dance square dance?

Liu Mang thought about it...he has it.

Liu Mang dialed Yao Ming's phone. The match didn't end until 12 o'clock. It was almost 12:[-], and it rang several times before he got connected.

"Dayao...that's right, it's me, I'm Ace...well, I have something to do with you...do you like dancing? This year's All-Star...eh? Hey, hey..." Before Liu Mang finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

Others don't know that the Eagles' thing is a square dance. As a Chinese, Yao Ming wouldn't know?
Hearing Liu Mang say this, and thinking that Liu Mang tricked Barkley into dancing square dances with Stern and a group of middle-aged aunts, Yao Ming was soundly asleep when he was woken up by the phone call and was a little dizzy, but suddenly he woke up, hung up the phone, turned off the phone, and pulled out the battery. He didn’t even care about the troublesome thing that took him more than ten minutes to recalibrate the time after pulling out the battery.

no!Liu Mang will never let Yao Ming go... No, it is a feast where the two super centers of the East and the West dance together. Liu Mang feels that he cannot miss it!
Liu Mang was thinking all the time when he returned home after taking a shower, and finally came up with a solution.

If you can't invite Yao Ming yourself, let O'Neill do it!

Let Prince, the "NBA court dance promoter", teach O'Neal first. O'Neal seems to have learned it himself, and he can teach better. Let O'Neal invite Yao Ming.

As for Yao Ming, there is no need to teach it at all. For a Chinese, square dancing is instinctive!Obsessive stuff...

……

"Grandpa and grandma, be careful on the road, Dinah will come back to China to visit her grandpa and grandma during the summer vacation."

"Okay, Dana, you have to concentrate in class and finish your homework on time. Aida, you have to take care of your body... Levia... wool..."

"..."

"..."

Before entering the security check, Liu Mang's mother and San Niu cared about each other for a long time. Liu Mang didn't say much, mainly because the elders didn't know what to say. Liu Mang and his father looked at each other for a while, and his father patted him on the shoulder. They were both men and didn't say anything.

Liu Mang’s parents came to the United States for a few days. Liu Mang was busy. Levia, Alexia and Dinah took them around all the attractions in Atlanta. Originally, Liu Mang wanted them to stay for a while. He wanted to get a long-term visa for his parents. It was very easy, but after the two elders came to the United States to experience the moon in a foreign country, they still felt unaccustomed. I went to the mall to buy a bunch of things, and I didn’t go to see it during the All-Star weekend, so I went back to China.

Liu Mang's mother still couldn't let go of her breakfast shop. On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Mang's father was supposed to be going to work. After playing for two more days, he couldn't let go of his work, so he flew back on the 12th.

Mom and Dad have their own lives, and Liu Mang is not easy to force him to stay. Although the three girls have learned Chinese well in the past few years, communication is no problem, but there are still big differences in living habits.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 12th, after Liu Mang's family sent his parents to the plane, the four of them also took the plane to Denver at eleven o'clock.

Originally, Liu Mang had a lot of activities during the All-Star Weekend. He should be the same as McGrady. He finished the game on the night of the 10th and went to Denver on the 11th, but he turned down a lot of work. His parents came to the United States for the first time.

On the 12th, the two elders returned to China. Liu Mang packed his luggage with San Niu and bodyguards. After sending the two elders away, they took a plane to Denver. On the 13th, they started business activities.

The Eagles have an eight-day holiday, from the 11th to the 18th.

The 14th to the 16th are the three days of the All-Star Weekend. Liu Mang did not sign up for other events this year, only the All-Star Game on the 16th.

He doesn't need to rely on triathlons to increase his popularity now, and that bit of exposure doesn't do much for him.

When I arrived in Denver, I had a rest for the night. On the 13th, from 10:12 am to 9:[-] pm, [-] hours, Liu Mang participated in [-] commercial activities, changing stops every half an hour, as busy as a dog.

Schwartz followed Liu Mang and was as tired as a dog. He couldn't help it. It should have been from the 11th to the 13th, which was the best publicity period. Originally, Liu Mang had nearly 20 commercial activities to participate in, but more than half of them were postponed, and a lot of small money was lost. Therefore, the nine commercial activities with the most money could not be postponed no matter what. Don't talk about money, and those big customers can't offend.

It's not just Liu Mang's problem, Liu Mang also represents their brokerage company.

After a busy day, I didn’t have a bite to eat, so I ate two slices of bread in the car halfway. I had to drive again, and had to change clothes. I had to remember what to say for the next event under the guidance of the agency’s public relations.

The most important thing is the one-hour sneaker signing. Liu Mang’s third-generation boots were pre-sold in mid-January, and they were officially released on January 1. During the All-Star Weekend, an on-site signing was held. On average, Liu Mang signed one name every three seconds, and he signed more than 1 times.

For the first time, Liu Mang felt the hardship of "running the notice".

Finally, I didn’t stop for 12 hours. I was either doing a commercial endorsement or on the way to the next commercial endorsement. After the work was over, Liu Mang and the people in the company toasted to celebrate the successful conclusion of today’s work. During the 25 days from the 13th to the 15th, the sales of Liu Mang’s Frost IV boots ranked No.1 among the signature shoes of all the stars in the league. In the suite booked by the Crawford Hotel, Liu Mang fell asleep on the sofa, but it was San Niu who came to take off his shoes and coat and cover the cup. They were worried that they would wake Liu Mang up, so they moved the two sofas together without putting Liu Mang on the bed.

Mainly a big skinny guy close to 200 catties, still very heavy...

……

……

"Ah..." Liu Mang yawned again, looking at the 03 generation five members who were chatting happily in front of them, they gnawed on whole wheat bread and took a sip of skim milk.

It’s not how tired I was. Yesterday’s fatigue was mainly due to mental fatigue. My head was too tired. I started a deep sleep at 12 o’clock, that is, a sleep where I was so tired that I didn’t dream. I was woken up by Dinah until [-] o’clock.

The main reason was that the five guys in front of me didn’t know what to do last night, and Anthony’s home was in Denver, and he was still staying in a hotel. Anyway, Liu Mang felt that he was very pure, so he didn’t know what these five guys were doing. They were still talking about things that were not ashamed in the morning, and yawned while chatting, and Liu Mang also yawned.

"Ace, you were exhausted yesterday. I heard that you ran 9 events yesterday, which is really amazing." James did not forget to strike up a conversation with Liu Mang, so as not to snub Liu Mang.

"That's right, I heard from Jeff that you were so tired that you fell asleep in the car yesterday, Boss Ace, it doesn't matter if you make less money, your annual endorsement fee is almost 3000 million." Wade was also concerned.

Anthony, Bosh, and Milicic wanted to cry when they heard this. Milicic and Bosh are two insiders, and they can’t sell their sneakers. The sneaker endorsement fee is very low. Anthony is okay, and sold Air-Jordan for $220 million.

Compared with James, he is more popular. Wade belongs to Liu Mang's agency, and Liu Mang's relationship with Anthony, Bosh, and Milicic is so-so.

"My parents came to Atlanta to play a while ago, and I stayed at home for a while, that Dwyane, you think I want to run so many announcements? It's not because of you, if it's not because of you, if it's not because of worrying about offending those sponsors, so that you little devils won't get endorsements, I won't go." Liu Mang gave Wade a white look.

Wade thought about it for a while, and smiled embarrassingly, but... who is the brat!Dude is half a year older than you!

"Uncle and aunt are here? Ace, why didn't you tell me, I should greet them!" James said with a dissatisfied look, helping Wade change the subject.

"Next time, if there is a chance to go to Shanghai together for our commercial activities in summer, I will take you to my house for some breakfast." Liu Mang smiled.

"Okay, it's settled like this. By the way, Ace, I'm going to the airport to pick up a friend later. Shall we go together?" James explained his purpose of staying in a hotel with Liu Mang.

"Pick up someone? Wow, who wants the two of us to pick him up?" Liu Mang was a little curious.

"A brother of mine in high school is also very good in the NCAA now. His name is Chris Paul. You should know him." James introduced.

"Chris Paul? I know him. This year's No. 03 pick. Do you know him? Oh, yes, you entered the NBA without going to college. You seem to be high school students who graduated in [-]. LeBron, you should study more." Liu Mang looked at James' face and said very sincerely.

"Haha, of course, I know, I usually go to the School of Economics and Management of the University of Cleveland to attend lectures when I have free time." James didn't understand what Liu Mang said at all, and was a little touched by Liu Mang's concern.

After chatting for a while, after breakfast, Liu Mang and James went to the airport together. After greeting Liu Mang, the other four members of the 03 generation had something to eat and went back to their room to sleep. They still had a rookie game tonight.

The contestants of Janeway Bomi's Four All-Star Game are not interested in the rookie game anymore, but Anthony, as the host of the All-Star Weekend, missed the All-Star Game, so the other four brothers want to help him win a rookie game MVP.

……

Liu Mang took the car that James borrowed from Anthony and came to the parking lot of the airport together. There was already a pair of black young men and women waiting at the appointed place.

Liu Mang recognized at a glance the imposing little Paul, who was too tender and did not have the slightest dignity of the future guild president and the league's number one point guard.

After James got out of the car, he walked towards the crew-cut Paul. Paul also greeted him. James gave him a warm hug: "Hey, Chris, sorry for the long wait."

"We've just arrived, and it's good to go around the airport..." Before Paul finished speaking, a scream came from beside him.

"Oh-My-God! It's Ace, wow..." The black beauty next to Paul screamed when he saw Liu Mang.

"Uh..." Liu Mang just got out of the car, his feet were still in the air, he was a bit at a loss, did this guy come with Paul?Liu Mang looked at James suspiciously.

Paul just noticed Liu Mang, and he also exclaimed.

"Haha, Chris, Jada, this is Ace. He heard that you guys are going to watch the All-Stars, so he came here with me to pick you up." James was speechless at this level.

James led the two to the car, and Liu Mang also got out of the car.

"Ace, this is Chris Paul, my high school opponent and brother, this is Jada Allen, my high school classmate, now Chris's girlfriend, Chris, Jada, this is Ace Liu, NBA superstar." James introduced each other.

Garda?Liu Mang sized it up, and realized that the super plump bust was Paul's wife with big breasts.

It seems that Paul's wife ten years later is this plump black girl named Jiada, who seems to be introduced by James, who turned out to be James' classmate, and Liu Mang feels that the NBA is really a small circle.

"Hello, Chris, Jiada, I'm Ace, Chris, I know you, your girlfriend is so beautiful, I remember you are Duncan's junior, right." Liu Mang remembered that Paul was from Wake Forest University.

"Hi Ace, I'm Chris, oh..." Paul couldn't help exclaiming again as he spoke, "my-god, it's unbelievable, Ace, you actually came to pick me up."

Paul is no different from ordinary black youths now, they are all very occasionally releasing their inner thoughts.

"Ace, I'm Jiada, am I dreaming, God..."

Paul's girlfriend Jiada was even more exaggerated, holding Liu Mang's hand and not letting go, Liu Mang was a little at a loss, this girl is too exaggerated.

Fortunately, James has a good relationship with them: "Hey, Jiada, your boyfriend is here, if you hold another man's hand, Chris will be jealous!"

"It's okay, I'm also a fan of Ace..." Paul quickly expressed that he didn't care.

Both Liu Mang and James are speechless, you don't care, others care!

James is still a little sad. He has known Paul for 5 years. He has known him since the second year of high school. He is now the number one figure in the NBA.So does Jiada, a classmate!
Finally, Paul and his girlfriend calmed down, got into the car, and took them to the hotel to stay first.

After getting in the car, Liu Mang and Paul sat in the back seat, and Jia Da sat in the co-pilot seat.

Liu Mang said to Paul: "Chris, I heard that you finished the NCAA, do you want to come to our agency? I heard that you will participate in the draft this year."

"Haha, Ace, are you talking about business just now?" James was about to start the engine, but he couldn't help complaining when he heard Liu Mang's words.

How could Liu Mang not know about James' little Jiujiu?He raised his eyebrows towards the rearview mirror: "How about it, Chris, come to our company, I'll show you how to pretend to fly!"

Pretentious?fly?James can understand these two words, but when he thinks of his brother Wade, pretending to be pretending is being pretending, Fei... is being abused so much that he wants to go to heaven?
