From today on is the king

Chapter 914

"Ace, you want to learn the fadeaway jumper from me?" Jordan felt like hell, this kid, do you want to learn everything?

Jordan, who only came to Denver on the day of the All-Star Game, was immediately found by Liu Mang.

Due to Okafor's injury, he has been injured for six games since February and cannot participate in the rookie game. The rest of the Bobcats have nothing to do with the All-Star Weekend. Jordan didn't plan to come to Denver to join in the fun.

But from a player to a businessman, Jordan has a lot of helplessness. For example, Time Warner, which spent tens of millions to sponsor the Bobcats to build an arena, invited him to be the commentator of Time Warner's national live broadcast. He had to come, but he didn't come until the same day.

Liu Mang has not heard from Schwartz that Jordan is coming to Denver in the past few days. He almost gave up his plan to learn this trick during the All-Star Weekend. He is planning to go to Los Angeles in the summer to learn the counterfeit version. Anyway, the moves are similar, and the technique of the paranoid back may be better, but he does not have Jordan's top physical talent in history.

But Jordan is here, so Jordan is naturally the best. Hard work is one aspect, and talent is also very important.

Although that guy's talent is also top-notch, compared with Jordan, he has a visible disadvantage in terms of jumping height and staying in the air. The little blacksmith's posture is more beautiful, but no matter how he shoots, he gives people a strong shot.

But Jordan's one-on-two in the air can also give people such a relaxed feeling.

And the difference in talent, although the little blacksmith can thoroughly study the backward through hard work, but it will always be limited by talent, Jordan is different, his talent is better, and the ceiling he can touch is higher.

Just like the little blacksmith worked hard for training, his mid-range shooting percentage was only 40.00%, three or four. Although in the history of the NBA, players with a mid-range shooting percentage of 3% and an average of at least [-] hits per game are only two-handed, but McGrady is limited by his physical fitness and cannot practice for too long.

In the original time and space, McGrady's CIC before he was injured was similar to Kobe's, and he was notoriously unable to practice for too long.

Therefore, Liu Mang didn't think it was necessary to be more proficient in technology. In the history of outsiders, there was almost no one who was more proficient in technology than the little blacksmith, but Liu Mang wanted a better one.

Because... learning is also practicing by yourself...

So, Jordan had just taken an early morning flight from Los Angeles, when Liu Mang got the news, he immediately went to the airport to pick up Jordan. After receiving it, Liu Mang immediately put forward his request.

"Michael, you agreed to teach me for three days, you can't go back on your word!" Liu Mang emphasized.

"..."

Jordan feels like this guy is going to hollow him out!

But when you say it, you have to do it... Jordan shrugged: "Ace, I promise you, by the way, this time I've learned something backward, what do you want to learn next time?"

Jordan also accepted his fate, who made himself agree.

"Let's wait a few months. I've trained my backs in summer. I'll see what I don't know when I want to learn next year." Liu Mang thought for a while, and the three-pointer was his strongest. He learned the back from a high position from a young blacksmith.

Spend a few months practicing to learn a new technique...

Jordan wanted to hit someone. He practiced back then and spent two years retiring!
"Wait for my call tomorrow, just one day, and send me to the Oxford Hotel." Jordan felt a little skeptical about life. It was only three years since he taught Liu Mang for the first time at the All-Star Weekend. In three years, Liu Mang's progress exceeded his expectations, and it was the kind that far exceeded.

Jordan felt that the kid in front of him was no worse than him at the same age.

After getting a response, Liu Mang didn't say too much. Jordan is not the kind of person who likes to chatter. Liu Mang immediately drove Jordan to the hotel.

……

……

"Uncle, you said that Uncle BIG-YAO and that fat uncle O'Neal are going to dance, is that true?" Dinah was a little excited, the scene was so beautiful!

"That's right, let's go to a good show! Dinah, follow Christine and don't run around, sit in the front row and don't walk around!" Liu Mang warned, and then said to the bodyguard, "Christine, Dinah will trouble you."

"Understood, uncle, I've said it several times..." Little Loli complained for a while, then looked forward to it again, the two in the east and west are the fattest... No, they are the best center dancers...

Levia and Alexia didn’t come to watch the game today, mainly because Alexia was pregnant. The rookie game was fine, and the fans weren’t very popular. Yesterday’s triathlon was already very popular. Play something fresh like Mang, not win by difficulty, but win with LaVine's chicness and Howard's little tricks.

Not to mention today's All-Star Game, the essence of the entire All-Star Weekend is this game. The 24 NBA's most popular players and the coaches think the best players will participate in this event.

The fans are too enthusiastic. If Alexia is hurt by bumping, the two girls have already started to consider hiring a Filipino maid, so that would be bad, so Levia and Alexia stayed in the hotel, and Christine Wagner asked the hotel to hire a driver to take them here.

After Liu Mang met with Jordan in the morning, he started to carry out various league activities, and in the afternoon he made simple preparations. The head coach of the Eastern All-Star team is Van Gundy. The tactics are basically outside shots. O'Neal, Kwame Brown, and Ben Wallace are just right.

Anyway, it was a tactic arranged like that. As for whether he would play like that, Van Gundy didn't care, and he didn't expect a few players to play obediently.

Krueger coach Philip Saunders was supposed to be the head coach of the Eastern Conference All-Star team. The Eagles are the number one in the Eastern Conference.

But coach Philip Sanders was the All-Star head coach of the Western Conference last season. This situation has never happened in the history of the NBA, and the league also feels painful. There is no precedent.

David Stern thought about it, ignored coach Kruger and coach Philip Saunders, and chose the head coach of the Heat, Van Gundy, as the head coach of the Eastern All-Star team.

After Liu Mang's training in the afternoon, he ate something to replenish energy with his All-Star teammates, and then began the interview session. Liu Mang accepted exclusive interviews from Chaoting TV, Xinhua News Agency, Guangdong TV, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, etc., each for a few minutes.

At 06:30 in the evening, after the warm-up training, Liu Mang received a call from Levia. Dinah clamored to watch the game, but Christine Wagner brought Dinah to the arena. Luckily, Liu Mang had a few tickets.

After receiving Dinah, Liu Mang chatted with Dinah about interesting things and gave them advice.

After Liu Mang and Dinah separated, Liu Mang returned to the locker room. The game was about to start at eight o'clock, and he had to enter the arena after seven o'clock.

After Liu Mang returned to the locker room, he saw that there was a fat man missing, and James was not there. He asked Wade and said that they went to the Western team's locker room.

Liu Mang felt so pleasantly surprised!
Not only O'Neal, but Jr. Zhan Zhan was also taken away?
……

……

The singing of Kelly Clarkson, an idol singer who has become popular in the past two years, ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

After the song and dance performance in the plateau area at the beginning, 24 All-Stars made their debut.

The first one to come out was the All-Star substitute of the visiting team. The first one to come out was Rasheed Wallace, the god of anger.

Although many fans think that some of them are not worthy of their names and are not eligible for All-Stars, their popularity is still good, especially James, whose popularity is overwhelming, and he is the most popular among the top six All-Star substitutes.

The sixth one came out was Ben Wallace. From Carter and James to Wade, the cheers were less. When Bosh and Milicic came out, the temperature dropped a lot. When it came to Ben Wallace, it was much smaller.

Ben Wallace in this time and space is really unlucky. The best defensive player was robbed by Ratliff, the championship was robbed by the Eagles, and the block leader was once monopolized by Mutombo.

But when it came to the finale of the East's All-Star bench, the scene became hot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, and children, next, I would like to invite the most dominant center in history, big shark, big diesel engine, big cactus... with various nicknames, and now the latest nickname is Shaq O'Neal of the big tractor!"

With the introduction with the most words and the longest introduction by the host, O'Neill appeared on the stage.

O'Neal's appearance suddenly ignited the scene again. Originally, inside players were not popular during the All-Star Weekend, but O'Neal is different!He can also play well in the All-Star Game, and the fans are looking forward to his performance in this All-Star Game.

All the fans were cheering for O'Neal, and no one noticed that a certain high school student who had come out before and claimed to be 20 years old was staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Why did I go to talk to this fat man? Why? Why..."

After the Eastern All-Star substitute came out, it was the Western All-Star substitute.

Lewis, Francis, Marion, Stoudemire, Richard Jefferson, Ginobili, Nowitzki came out one after another.

The reason why coaches mostly choose players from the top five teams in the East and West as their All-Star substitutes is not only because of the records, but also because the teams with good records usually have relatively high popularity of players, except for the special case of the Pistons, which have been a bit defensive in the past few years.

First, after the fourteen All-Star substitutes from the East and West came out, the All-Star starters from the East and West began to appear!

Liu Mang appeared as a starter again after a year, as the first All-Star starter of the visiting team's Eastern team.

The All-Star starters are very different from the All-Star substitutes. Although there are some popular All-Star substitutes, the All-Star starters are almost all the most popular players in their respective positions.

When Liu Mang came out, there were cheers and some boos. Most of the fans of the teams where the top five picks of the 03 generation were full of disgust towards Liu Mang.

Then McGrady appeared as the most popular player in the Eastern Conference this year.

When Kwame Brown came out third, Liu Mang thought that the fans at the scene would call O'Neal and instigate the "infighting" of the Eastern team. Who knew, because after the news that Jordan would be Time Warner's commentator came out today, the fans at the scene shouted "Jordan" loudly when Kwame Brown came out.

Liu Mang searched for a while, and he could directly see Jordan's livid face wearing earphones at the Time Warner commentary booth at the back of the technical platform, next to the live commentary booth of the court platform.

However, Jordan, who was broadcasting live, was still quibbling because the TV screen was given to Kwame Brown: "I have long seen Kwame's talent, but he was not suitable for our team. We don't have the kind of players who can pass him. The Eagles are different. They had Stockton last year, and McGrady this year..."

Bill Walton next to Jordan said you keep pretending...

"Hey, Kwame, what is the relationship between you and Jordan?" Liu Mang asked curiously after Kwame-Brown sat in the exclusive seat for the All-Star starter.

"I have nothing to do with Jordan!" Kwame Brown said angrily.

"I don't believe it, you look so similar, look, the fans recognized you as Jordan." Liu Mang continued to tease Kwame Brown.

"Boss, you are too much!" Kwame Brown covered his head in pain. He didn't know who sent it, and even put the heads of the two together. The similarity was as high as 70.00%.

Enough is enough, and I made fun of Kwame Brown, Liu Mang felt that today's All-Star Game is more interesting.

The penultimate one to come out is the veteran Grant Hill. Not surprisingly, this is Hill's last All-Star trip.

When Hill came out, a group of older fans stood up, screaming and pulling the No. 33 Pistons jersey they were wearing.

The last one to come out of the Eastern Conference was Iverson. Among the five All-Star starters, Iverson was undoubtedly the most qualified to come out last.

In terms of qualifications, both Iverson and Hill entered the NBA in the mid-90s, that is, from 94 to 96, and McGrady was a player in the late 90s.

In terms of honor, Iverson has the MVP, the scoring champion three times, and only one less championship than Liu Mang.

Liu Mang, McGrady, and Iverson gave way for a long time in the locker room. In the end, Iverson "reluctantly" accepted the "boss" status of the Eastern Conference All-Star starter, and stood cheerfully as the last one to play.

The host introduces the participants based on the positions seen by the director in the headset.

After the eastern troops came out, they went to the western troops.

The first to come out was Double 21. The little blacksmith who couldn't compete for the top spot couldn't grab the last order of appearance, so the two rushed to come out first, and came out almost at the same time.

Duncan will never forgive Garnett. In the first round of the 1999 playoffs, Garnett said to Duncan, "Happy Mother's Day to your mother for me" when the two teams entered the Tianwangshan battle 1-1. Duncan's mother passed away just before the playoffs.

When Duncan was interviewed, he generally didn’t have too many emotional factors, but in the 2001 playoffs, Duncan beat Garnett again 3-1, and the statistics of the two were almost exactly the same, almost 23+13+4+1+2, and even the shooting percentage of the hell was just 40.00% 20, and the age difference between the two was only more than 25 days. Garnett entered the NBA two years earlier but was [-] days younger. When asked by a reporter if Garnett was his sympathetic opponent, Duncan showed his expression in an interview for the first time in his career.

"You mean Garnett?" Duncan tilted his neck and said a word, then shut up, and didn't say a word until the end of the interview, or Popovich next to him took over.

There are only two times in Duncan's career that he has been obviously excited in interviews. This is the first time. The next time is the first time he failed to win the championship after reaching the finals in 2013.

Every year, the "conflict within the team" between Garnett and Duncan is one of the highlights of the All-Star Weekend.

Then came Yao Ming, then Nash, and finally Kobe.

Kobe received more boos than Liu Mang...

Obviously this season Kobe didn't turn his image around by his performance.

When Yao Ming came out, Liu Mang clearly felt a strong killing intent...Suddenly felt something was wrong...

……

After the 24 All-Stars came out, it was time for player interaction.

Generally speaking, it's all about giving gifts, and humbly saying "friendship first, competition second", even for Jordan back then.

But why is O'Neal so popular during the All-Star Weekend?It is because he is different from others!
O'Neill went straight up and snatched the host's microphone.

The scene immediately became high!

In the past two years, O'Neal's "will" was a little depressed, because the All-Star starter was snatched away by Yao Ming, and he didn't play much. When Liu Mang entered the NBA season in 01-02, O'Neal even performed rap.

This year O'Neal's All-Star starter was robbed again. The fans had given up hope. Unexpectedly, O'Neal started to steal the show again!
The fans at the scene went crazy again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next, there will be a gorgeous song and dance show that is unique in this century, and even in history..." O'Neill said in a deep voice.

Liu Mang feels that O'Neill is really versatile!There is no one to host this voice.

"Ding... the host can use 100 million rogue points to designate the extraction of the host's talent skills..." At this time, the system gave a prompt.

"Go to hell!" Liu Mang refused decisively.

He doesn't want to become a living treasure like O'Neill!

Liu Mang swore he would never take part in such embarrassing things like dancing and singing!
At this time, O'Neal made a long speech, building momentum for the next dance show, and then talked about the list of performers: "... Ladies and gentlemen, next is me, the most versatile athlete in NBA history, as well as King of the new era, LeBron, and BIG-YAO from China..."

When Liu Mang heard this, he slapped his hands. James was really forced to dance in the square by O'Neill. It was so interesting!

However, O'Neill is not finished yet...

"...and our strongest scorer, our Yamennarce Liu!"

Yamennar?It seems to be the name of the Ice King... Liu Mang heard this nickname at the beginning, but he didn't realize it for a while. It seemed that some fans called it that, but he didn't approve it, and no one else followed suit, so he let it go.

The nickname of the Ice King is stupid.

But Liu Mang didn't care about this. The fans gave him too many nicknames. He didn't give himself a Black Mamba like Kobe, nor did he give himself a bunch of nicknames like O'Neal.

Liu Mang's eyes widened, who the hell agreed to go to the dance?
In the astonished expression of Liu Mang, a yellow-skinned big man weighing more than 130 kilograms came across him, and a player from the Eastern All-Star team's bench who claimed to be 20 years old came to his side.

"What are you doing!" Liu Mang screamed.

"Ace, we are all brothers, let's be happy together!" Yao Ming showed a ferocious and devilish smile. O'Neal invited him and he had to attend, but he couldn't let Liu Mang go!
Seeing Liu Mang struggling to get on the stage with a huge man of great strength on one side, everyone burst into laughter.

When Liu Mang saw O'Neill winking, he knew he was cheated.

It's all up here, but Liu Mang can't go down, the main reason is that the music has already started, the dance partners next to him have also come, and the fans at the scene have already started booing.

At this time, the end is completely disrespectful to O'Neill. This "grand event" that Liu Mang created by himself will instead become a matter for him to smear O'Neill's face.

But Liu Mang is determined not to dance!

O'Neill and James didn't care, as long as Liu Mang came up, Liu Mang didn't dance, and he could still show off their "dancing skills".

Calling Liu Mang up is just for fun.

O'Neill and James are both people with a good sense of rhythm, and they danced along with the music. Not to mention, Liu Mang felt that they danced very well, and there was an irresistible urge deep in his heart.

But Liu Mang held on, just standing there stupidly, just not moving.

There were already some boos at the scene.

But... when Liu Mang was listening to the music, his body couldn't stop twisting, and when he saw Yao Ming's clumsy movements, he couldn't help it all of a sudden. How did he move his hand?It's time to kick!At this time, it is time to turn around and look at O'Neill, who will learn it after a few days. Look at James, and I heard that Pullin said that he just learned it yesterday.

Liu Mang couldn't help but go up and give pointers: "BIG-YAO, you should be bolder when you twist here, won't you? Are you Chinese? You don't even know this... Forget it, I'll teach you, here, here..."

Seeing O'Neill twist so well, Yao Ming, a Chinese, can't dance as well as a foreigner. Liu Mang was holding back, but couldn't bear it anymore, and came to Yao Ming to start "on-site teaching."

"Dayao, you are like this. Here, the buttocks should be turned higher, and the hands should be swung from bottom to top, not fists, but from bottom to top. Yes, yes, come on, let's do it again, one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four, yes, that's right..."

Liu Mang completely forgot about his persistence and stubbornness, and went up to teach Yao Ming to jump.

The square dancing strength of the square dancing master is fully demonstrated at this moment...

Liu Mang jumped up, O'Neill danced more happily, and Yao Ming, who was infected by Liu Mang, also danced better.

The fans at the scene were completely excited. They thought Liu Mang was "pretentious" at first, but they didn't expect Liu Mang to hide it!

Sure enough, the so-called "NBA court dance pioneer" is not an ordinary person!

At this time, Liu Mang realized that he had jumped up at some point, but he couldn't stop...

Dinah, who already knew what square dancing is, felt that the picture was too beautiful to look at, so she covered her eyes and peeked through her fingers...
