The big brother in the blacksmith shop wants to save face, Liu Mang thinks that Wang Zhizhi's matter is probably right, and there is no need to continue to worry, and Wang Zhizhi should have a chance to perform when he goes to the Lakers, and he will not go to the Clippers like the original with a bunch of big forwards and centers, the Clippers want to rely on Chinese players like the Rockets to become popular, so no matter what the lineup is, Wang Zhizhi has no chance to make progress.

Due to the riots in Los Angeles ten years ago, it is still under curfew, and the party ended at 11 p.m., and Liu Mang and his party returned to the hotel.

Liu Mang took a shower and prepared to sleep.

Suddenly I felt as if I had forgotten something, and after thinking about it for a while, I remembered that Carter was still recuperating in the sanitarium in Beverly Hills due to his foot injury, and he hadn't taken that bouncing fruit yet!

"System Boss, can you use the Injury Potion on Carter now?" Liu Mang asked in his heart.

"Ding...... Vince Carter's injury is Critical, requiring 200 primary Injury Potions or two Intermediate Injury Potions, and the host has three Intermediate Injury Potions, does it use two Intermediate Injury Potions? ”

"Use."

Liu Mang has nothing to hesitate, his strength can definitely be practiced, but if he jumps, he really doesn't think he can practice well, there may be an 80 bounce to the sky, which is the limit of physical talent.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and helping Carter heal his ankle so that his bounce explosiveness does not drop sharply is not a loss for basketball.

Although Carter will recover his foot this time, and will be able to jump and dunk in the future when he was with the Nets, he is no longer the flyer he used to be.

It's just that if Carter's jumping talent is not destroyed because of this, will he become the competitive old flyer he should have become when he gets old? Liu Mang didn't know this, and it didn't matter.

It's just that who's the one who picked up the bargain in the equilibrium mode? Liu Mang was very curious about this.

"Ding...... With the host using two Intermediate Injury Potions, Vince Carter's ankle injury will be completely healed after 6 months, leaving no sequelae, and can be quickly recovered using 100,000 Megastar Points. ”

"Ding...... The host superstar is insufficient, and fast recovery cannot be used. ”

Lakh...... This is the most expensive injury Liu Mang has ever suffered, even if there is, Liu Mang will not use it! Let him pestle with a crutch for half a year!

After a year of hard work and saving, there is only 1 intermediate injury and illness medicine left, and there is only one left, and everyone is benevolent and righteous!

Liu Mang said that this is the intermediate-level injury medicine he used for the friendship of his friends, or the kind that does good deeds without leaving a name, and it is definitely not to get the ultimate bouncing fruit! Definitely not!

Liu Mang immediately asked, "System boss, where is my bouncing fruit?" ”

"Ding...... System evaluation, please later. ”

Also evaluated? Haven't you evaluated it before?

"It was just a preliminary assessment."

"Ding...... At the end of the evaluation, the host's behavior made the NBA's dunk history even more exciting, and the host was rewarded: the ultimate bouncing fruit, Vince Carter dunk pack. ”

Liu Mang was so frightened that he sat up directly from the bed in the sit-up style without using his hands!

The ultimate bouncing fruit is here, and it actually comes with Carter's dunk bag!

"Vince Carter Dunk Pack: A collection of the best dunks in NBA history, with a minimum usage limit: 80 bounces, 95 bounces to unlock all moves."

"......" Liu Mang fell down again, and Nima still has a limit on a dunk bag!

95？ Come on! God knows how long it will take to draw the bouncing fruit that can rise to 95 and practice it yourself...... Unless mutated!

And Carter's dunk is invincible, the dunk contest is invincible, the actual combat effect is average, his average number of dunks per game is less than 1, and his dunk method of wanting to show his dunk ability to the fullest, seven or eight times out of ten will be intercepted by the opponent, too straightforward.

But as long as it is deducted into one, the top of the five best balls will not be able to run!

Liu Mang was not disappointed because the requirements of this dunk bag were too high, the giveaway, that's it, the bouncing fruit is the most important thing! If you bounce on your own, you can also develop your own bouncing action.

However, there is a small question, Liu Mang also wants to know: "System boss, can you tell me who is the good luck of balanced pattern matching?" ”

"Ding...... Vince Carter's equalization pattern match is Tracy McGrady, who will be fully recovered from his next serious injury. ”

"Uh......" Liu Mang was stunned, which means that the only active player who can compare his talent with Caterpillar is Maddie?

This is counting cousins have helped? Depend on! Liu Mang originally planned to brush up on the experience by himself...... No, how can the master be the kind of person who treats others' injuries for the sake of rewards, is to help his friends again, and the system actually adds to the snake! It's disgusting that I didn't help my friends again!

It's just Maddie...... Fate is more bumpy than Carter, he has suffered injuries more than once, although Carter later bounced off and became a role player, but he played 20 seasons, and Maddie was away from the NBA early.

Maddie...... Liu Mang prayed for Maddie.

Sentimentality is not Liu Mang's personality, for Maddie to the gods who manage Europe and the United States, that is, God, Liu Mang prayed for Maddie for three seconds, and immediately came alive again, and Maddie is so familiar, it is equivalent to having an experience......

No, it's not important! Liu Mang said that he definitely didn't treat his friend's injuries because of this reward! Definitely not!

Moreover, as long as it is a normal player with basketball dignity, he doesn't want to see anyone get hurt, although Liu Mang is very interested in rewards, he doesn't want to use this way as a means to improve himself.

Liu Mang began to plan for how to use the bouncing fruit, and after getting the bouncing fruit, he did not choose to use it immediately.

This is a decision made after thinking about it for a while after Liu Mang's season ended, so he resisted the idea of eating it immediately and put it into the system space.

Theoretically speaking, the closer to the peak of physical fitness, the more difficult it is to improve, Liu Mang's normal bounce is 71 now, the good kind, not excellent, theoretically there is room for improvement.

This ultimate bouncing fruit, the minimum plus nine points of bounce, the maximum plus fifteen points, even if it is only nine points, Liu Mang's own body should be able to practice the bounce, basically come to an end.

The yellow guard, with a bounce of 80, is already considered the top of the top.

Using the bouncing fruit, he directly reached the peak of bouncing, and if he wants to improve again in the future, Liu Mang estimates that it will be difficult, so he can only see if he can get the bouncing fruit again.

But now that I only have 71, I can take advantage of this summer to work hard to improve my leg muscles, enhance leg strength, try to enhance the bounce, and then use the bounce fruit when I find that it is really at the limit......

Liu Mang felt that his thoughts were very stable, and he was such a genius.

……

When you come to Los Angeles, of course, you have to play for a few days! I can't come and do things, so let's leave immediately.

Alexia, Levia, Dinah and Vanessa went shopping together, Maddie's wife Lerenda had to rest at home when her due date was approaching, and Liu Mang, Kobe, and Maddy trained together at the Toyota Center, the Lakers' training hall.

Maddie felt a little weird today, every time Liu Mang looked at him, there was some resentment in his eyes, which made Maddie confused.

And when it comes to training, Maddie regrets why she trained with two paranoiacs.

One is enough, and two more!

Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant put aside the basketball and got along, but as soon as they touched the basketball, the two began to fight.

"I'm going to practice a thousand threes today, you can go and rest when you're tired." Liu Mang squirted at Kobe.

"A thousand? Europe...... You're so lazy, I usually practice two thousand at this time. Bryant immediately fought back.

"The thousand I said is just one group, and I usually practice four groups!"

"Then I'll practice eight groups!"

"I'm sixteen!"

“……”

“……”

Maddie looked at who the two of them had to fight for in each training session, and felt so painful, why should they train with these two people!

It's not a day or two like this, it seems that Liu Mang and Kobe, the two guys who want to fight each other when they meet, like to train with each other, and every afternoon after practicing until Vanessa and Levia, Alexia, and Dinah come back with small bags of small goods, the training mode of the two will become quite harmonious because of the appearance of women, and they don't want the picture of blushing and thick necks to be seen by women.

But the next day, after the women made an appointment to do nails, hair and other things, the two began to train with each other early in the morning.

Speaking of the results of these women's shopping, Liu Mang wondered, few of the things they went out to buy were useful, there were almost no expensive things, and they didn't even look like large shopping malls, it felt like they walked to some roadside stalls and bought some gadgets.

When drinking water and eating to replenish energy during the training break, Liu Mang casually asked this question: "Why do you say they buy these things every time they go shopping, what's the use?" I remember when they came and said they were going to buy clothes, and they had been shopping for a few days! ”

Liu Mang took the toad sunglasses that Alexia gave him, and said that he would wear them at the beach in a few days, who would wear them!

Maddie and Kobe Bryant are from here, and they both laughed when they heard Liu Mang's words.

Kobe Bryant got married earlier and has more experience: "The little kid who can't go to the nightclub is the little kid, women buy clothes, just like men pick wives, there are many women who like and want to be women, but in the end there can only be one who gets married, of course, you have to try one by one, but you may not like it if you have tried, until you meet the one who falls in love at a glance and wants to take it home for a lifetime, you will really make a move." ”

Liu Mang covered his head in pain, this bastard said that he was a pervert so freshly and refinedly, and he was also a talent!

However, little fart little kid, Liu Mang is angry!

"A little kid is a little kid, I think Kobe Bryant you, you can't give birth to a son in this life, you can only give birth to a daughter!" Liu Mang cursed viciously.

"Bastard! Who said I can't give birth to a son! It's not that Kobe doesn't like his daughter, it's just that he refuses to admit defeat anywhere, "I'll have a son with Vanessa next year for you!" ”

"Oh, what if it's the daughter who wins?" Liu Mang continued.

"Hmph, you can only have one in your country, right? It's so pathetic, I can continue to live! I'm planning to have three children. Kobe said proudly.

"I promise you're all daughters!" Liu Mang continued to be angry and angry.

"Impossible!"

“……”

“……”

Maddie looked at the ceiling, her heart was so tired, these two guys were arguing again! You can't train quietly! It's too much pressure to be teammates with these two guys! But if you're teammates with either of these two guys, you won't have to worry about the team not wanting to win! You don't have to be so tired! It's nice to be their teammates......

Maddie began to wander again, and she didn't know where to go.

After another wave of daily mutual fighting, training continued, and Kobe and Liu Mang began to compete again to see who could shoot more.

Speaking of Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant's training has been very fruitful, although Kobe did not deliberately teach Liu Mang anything, but Kobe is a master of training, as long as you watch him practice and practice together, you will know what skills you still lack, and you can know your own shortcomings, because Kobe's skills are really comprehensive, Liu Mang's skills are really single compared to Kobe, and he can always find some of his own shortcomings.

While practicing, a prompt suddenly sounded in Liu Mang's head.

"Ding...... The system promulgated a long-term mission: the Mandate of Heaven. ”

"Destiny: Tasks that rely purely on luck, such as Kobe Bryant's first three children are all daughters, and the host gets rewards: a Destiny card with a card; If one of Kobe Bryant's first three children is a boy, the host will have to say to Kobe Bryant face-to-face on live TV: You're the best basketball player in basketball history. ”

"The host can make a prediction about an outcome that may occur in the derivation of logical and objective facts in basketball, and it will definitely come true. Note: Possibilities that do not conform to logic and objective facts cannot be predicted. ”

Wipe! Liu Mang looked at this task, isn't this a send-off! Who doesn't know that the shopkeeper of this blacksmith shop is all daughters in 3 votes and 0 votes?

"Because the host has a child and Tracy McGrady's child is about to be born, Kobe Bryant refuses to admit defeat and wants to have a child early, so the gender of Kobe Bryant's child may change."

Liu Mang listened to this strange historical change sluggishly, Nima! This stinky blacksmith! Is this called not admitting defeat? This is a pervert! This kind of thing has to be won or lost?

……

……

Time flies quickly, Liu Mang has been in Los Angeles for eight days, and it was June 26th.

After a week of training, Kobe, Liu Mang, and Maddie were all a little tired, mainly psychologically, so they took a day off, and waited for the women who were not tired of shopping, beauty, and shopping for many days in the evening to come back, and everyone gathered around the TV to watch the draft together.

It's hard to imagine that a woman who would marry a basketball player isn't a basketball fan, Vanessa grew up in Los Angeles and is a die-hard Lakers fan.

When Liu Mang listened to Vanessa and Levia chatting, he learned that Vanessa was only in her second year of high school and was only 17 years old.

Kobe Bryant immediately counterattacked, saying that Liu Mang's children were so old and even more beastly, and he had a child at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

This...... Liu Mang refutes it is not, it is not if he refutes, it is not necessary to refute Levia, he is embarrassed to continue to quarrel with himself if he does not refute, and he raised a white flag and surrendered in a quarrel for the first time, which made Kobe very proud.

Maddie, who knew the truth of the matter, didn't say anything, and Maddie's wife thought it was interesting for Kobe and Liu Mang to quarrel, and she didn't say anything, just like that, the draft conference in Los Angeles broadcast live by Time Warner Cable Sports Station began.

It started with some pre-draft tidbits from the hot rookies.

Yao Ming's side caused a small sensation in the United States, and on June 20, the owners, head coaches, scouts of 28 teams in the league, as well as the media from all over the United States and Asia, as well as some Canadian and European media, participated in the trial, Yao Ming's performance was amazing!

The 22-year-old Yao Ming is already very good in terms of technology, but the difference is only the experience and confrontation with the world's top interior and super centers, but that kind of feel, that kind of movement ability, and almost impossible to defend the height are like the embryos of a traditional super center.

But this is almost certain to be the big man of the Rockets, except for the owner of the Timberwolves who did not come, the owners of the other 27 teams are envious.

However, if one person is in the limelight, it is likely to move other people's cakes.

Jay Williams, the nation's No. 1 college student, said publicly in an interview: "That big Chinese man is just because he is Chinese, he is so tall, he has no strength, I am the best of this rookie, the Rockets do not choose me, they will regret it!" ”

But that didn't affect Team Rockets' thinking, and they openly stated that what they wanted was Yao Ming, except that Yao Ming didn't consider using the top pick on anyone else.

Then there was Jay Williams' taunt of Yao Ming and the Rockets: "Look, the blind management of the Rockets, they will draft the next Olovocandi and Kwame Brown!" ”

Jay Williams is a strong starter, and before he entered the NBA, he offended the Clippers and Wizards, as well as Olocore Kandi, Kwame Brown, Jordan, and the Rockets.

Yao Ming's response was not as arrogant and proud as Jay Williams, but it was also not cowardly: "Jay Williams? He's great, but teams with draft picks pick the best of the rookies. ”

In the 2002 rookies, the NBA official executives saw that Yao Ming and Jay Williams had started fighting before they entered the league, so they simply put the gimmick of the 2002 rookies on Yao Ming and Jay Williams, and even helped them promote their "grudges" to add highlights to the rookies in the new season.

After all, there is nothing to fight for rookies in the past two years, in the 00th class, Mike Miller won the best rookie without any suspense, and in the 01st class, Liu Mang and Gasol were still on the same footing, but then Liu Mang broke out and took away the suspense.

In the class of 02, there are so many talents, and the NBA executives feel that there will probably be a lot more rookies to watch this year.

After the pre-game tidbits, David Stern appeared in the picture, and the draft began.

After some opening remarks, David Stern took out the envelope with the names of the players selected by the Rockets with the first pick, which had been considered for three minutes: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first pick, the Rockets have selected the ...... from the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club." Want...... Destiny ......"

A large number of Chinese fans and media at the scene cheered, and the Rockets fans who came to the scene to watch the draft also began to cheer.

It's a pity that Yao Ming didn't get the opportunity to go to the scene to participate in the draft, the Basketball Association's training camp has begun, Yao Ming went to accompany his national team teammates to lose weight, and he could only watch the live broadcast in the hotel.

Because Yao Ming did not arrive at the scene, the three-minute waiting time in the middle, the TV pictures are all highlights of Yao Ming's excellent performance in the Shanghai team and the World Series, and that kind of body type is simply dominating the basket, and there is even a picture of Yao Ming, who was less than 18 years old in McDonald's training camp in 1998, facing Tyson Chandler, who is almost 17 years old, pressing the other party against each other.

ravaged the previous year's list show, this picture is well chosen! Although Chandler's rookie performance was average, his defense was still okay, but he was completely pressed by Yao Ming.

Liu Mang was slandering Stern every time he called the name of a Chinese player, when Maddie asked, "Ace, this big man in your country seems to be very powerful!" How is he and O'Neillby? ”

Liu Mang looked at everyone staring at him and wanted to know the answer, Liu Mang really wanted to say that you guys are really uplifting...... O'Neal can compete for the No. 1 center in history.

This question is asked, the master is very embarrassed, okay! You can't weaken your country's momentum, and you can't brag a few times, because nonsense and bragging are two different things.

Liu Mang replied from a different angle: "It's not easy to say the strength, Yao's words, it is not difficult for him and O'Neal to score 20 points, and Kobe Bryant, if you want to use O'Neal to exchange Yao, you will definitely not be able to change it." ”

Liu Mang is playing hooligan, O'Neill is already thirty years old, which team will be stupid to exchange the core of the team for O'Neal, it is really the head that is stuck by the threshold.

It's not that O'Neal is not strong, he and Duncan are still the two best players in the league, but O'Neal is still there, and he can maintain his peak for three or four years, in fact, O'Neal did decline rapidly after the 05-06 season, and was squeezed dry by Pat Riley in the first two years.

Maddie probably understood what Liu Mang meant, without O'Neal Strong, it is estimated that there will be no O'Neill Strong at his peak in the future.

But Kobe Bryant was thoughtful, and had a great interest in Yao Ming, and said that the rival knew each other best, Kobe knew that Liu Mang was not the kind of character that casually praised a person, even if it was from his own country, like when recommending Wang Zhizhi, Liu Mang made it clear that although he was excellent, he was just an excellent substitute, not nonsense.

Liu Mang can give Yao Ming such a high evaluation, Kobe Bryant has a strong interest in Yao Ming.

After another 3 minutes, the Bulls chose Jay Williams, the No. 1 college student in the United States, without much suspense......

The draft went smoothly, and after Yao Ming was selected, there was not much interest in the middle, and it was not until the middle and end of the first round that Maddy, Kobe, and Liu Mang were selected for their teams.

There were also some choices that surprised Kobe and Maddie in the middle, such as Amare Stoudemire, who chose a high school for four years and transferred six times, and went to seven high schools.

Then the draft went ahead, and when it came time for the Bucks to pick the 21st pick in the first round, the first trade for draft picks began.

The Bucks have two first-round picks this year, one of which was a draft pick traded to the Trail Blazers, which was traded to Camp that year, which is the 21st pick this year.

After the 20th pick of the Jazz upset to select Ryan Humphrey of the University of Oklahoma, a second-round rookie predicted, the Bucks were considering the time before the selection when the trade exploded.

The director cut the camera to the host next to him, who announced: "The Atlanta Hawks traded 2000 rookie Demar Johnson, former Bulls power forward Tony Kukoc, and the 2002 second-round pick 45th pick to get the Bucks' 2002 first-round 21st pick and Glenn Robinson. ”

Subsequently, the Hawks submitted their 21st pick, and Tyshawn Prince was selected by the Hawks with the 21st pick in the first round.

It came so suddenly! The Hawks actually ate Glenn Robinson's big contract!

Heavenly!

Liu Mang was dumbfounded, the team is crazy!

Kobe Bryant and Maddie were also scared, sometimes people look at a team, first look at the lineup, the Hawks actually brought in an average of 20+ scorers per game!
