David Stern smiled on his face, he didn't expect that this year's All-Star Weekend would start to warm up next year's All-Star Weekend.

Peja made a war letter to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang accepted it, which made countless fans full of expectations for next year's three-point competition!

Any game must have equal belligerents to look good, otherwise it will be meaningless to know the ownership of the championship as soon as it is built like the Cosmos team.

Taking advantage of the heat brought by the Three-Point Contest, the Legendary Festival has begun!

In the DJ's deliberately low-pitched introduction, the players of the Western team appeared, first the famous Hollywood producer, actor, and amateur basketball master Frankie Muniz, then NBA superstar Swopes, then Corey Margetty, one of the N forwards of the Los Angeles Clippers, and finally the first person in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers, the first point guard in NBA history Magic Johnson.

Following the rhythm deliberately brought up by the DJ, as well as the excitement of the previous three-point contest, the Eagles fans at the scene took the lead and booed the "away team" of the Western Army.

"Hahahaha......" Magic Johnson gave his trademark laugh, hugged the players around him and walked onto the court, and the current and retired players in the VIP fan zone also ran over to hug and salute the magician.

The boos on the scene made the game more like a game, proving that the emotions of the fans have been completely mobilized, and the "away" players such as the Magic have become excited, which is like a game!

In eventing, sometimes the biggest attraction is not the competition of the athletes, but the reaction of the superstar audience around them, and it doesn't matter if the game starts slowly, the camera instead gives these hugs close-up.

Everyone wants to grab the camera, and Liu Mang was also ready to go up to pay tribute, but he was squeezed out of the way by others and became the last person to go up and hug.

The Lakers and the Hawks have had a bad relationship in the past two years, but as a Lakers celebrity, the Magic did not show any negative expressions to Liu Mang, he was very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to reach out and hug him, and Liu Mang also hugged him with a smile.

"Haha, Ace, someone has challenged you again, yes, someone is the strong one who challenges you! I'm optimistic about you, in June this year, do you want to come to Los Angeles to compete with the Lakers for the championship? The magician laughed.

Looking at the magician's signature smiling face, Liu Mang really felt from his heart, this guy was too good at confusing people with a smile, and the ghost knew what he was thinking in his heart.

Moreover, Liu Mang has something that he wants to complain, your Lakers, can you get out of the West this year, we can fight, but what if we go to San Antonio at that time?

However, stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling man, the magician's affinity is really good, Liu Mang responded very happily: "Accept your good words, Mr. Johnson, when the time comes, don't just put on a stinky face just because you lost to us." ”

A polite answer should be given, but domineering can't be lost!

Seeing Liu Mang's unflattering and deserved respect and self-confidence, the magician sighed in his heart, the young people nowadays are really amazing, and the child who doesn't grow up in his own family may have a bumpy future if he doesn't grow up......

The western side received boos from the fans at the scene, and when the eastern troops came out, the cheers from the scene returned again.

First up is Ashton Kutcher, who starred in "The '70s Show" in '98 and has a famous blockbuster "The Butterfly Effect" next year, followed by NBA superstar Leslie, last year's NBA champion and Finals MVP.

When the penultimate contestant, Jason Terry, came out, the fans in the stadium began to chant for jets.

When the last player, Dominic Wilkins, the Eagles' greatest player since moving to Atlanta, came out on the pitch, there was a cheer that reached its climax, and the courtside began to greet and hug again.

Although not as great as the achievements of Magic, players who dare to say that they are greater than Magic in NBA history may not have the number of hands together, not to mention the championship MVP of the rookie season, and the two achievements of reaching the finals and winning the championship 5 times in just 12 years in his career, which is a lot more than most team honors in history.

But in Atalanta, in the hearts of fans for more than 20 years, Wilkins is the greatest player, and he has brought countless classic images to Atlanta fans.

Liu Mang was squeezed to the end again this time, a man who couldn't grab the camera, and finally got the most complete shot, sometimes some things really didn't have to be grabbed, so he sent them to the door.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Liu Mang has officially spoken to Wilkins, and it seems that he has not even met a few times before.

Unlike the Magic's kind of courtesans who generally have a good relationship with anyone, Wilkins has the cold arrogance of players in the seventies and eighties, as far as Liu Mang knows, Jason Terry has been drafted by the Hawks for four years, and has only spoken to Wilkins twice, and this cooperation is the first time to train together in the same team uniform.

Just like Howard joined the Lakers, it took half a year to see Abdul-Jabbar for the first time, and Ingram joined the Lakers for two years, only getting a blacksmith's phone, and he didn't get a word of guidance for two years, showing the cold attitude of the celebrity.

"Ace, I can't wait to see how you perform in this year's slam dunk contest, how's it going, are you ready?" After Wilkins hugged him, he still cared about his juniors.

"Of course, Mr. Wilkins, wait and see how I perform!" Regarding the team's fame, Liu Mang was more restrained and showed his self-confidence, but he did not deliberately show arrogance or anything.

It was really cold, Wilkins didn't say anything more, patted the hooligan on the shoulder, and then went up to the game.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Legends Challenge began.

This kind of game is really not as interesting as the interaction between the players before and after the game, with the western body dominating, age dominating, and everything dominant.

Don't look at the Magic's retirement in 91, he is only one year older than Wilkins, who retired in 97, picking up the body, the Magic advantage is too great, and then Margeti faced Jason Terry, and he also played according to the press, as for the NBA and Hollywood movie stars, it is used to make up the numbers and attract attention, the West Force abused the East Force to the point that it was not wanted, and it was quite fun in the middle of the game, after the West Army led 18-6 early, he began to play, the Magic showed off the dribble and almost turned it into Thompson, Margeti came to a strong dunk, It's a bit fun, the competition is not very competitive, and the advantage of the Western troops is too obvious.

In the end, the West Force took the lead to score 25 points, easily defeated the East Force 26-12, and won the Legendary Challenge.

……

The first two events finally ended, and Liu Mang's seat was changed to the front row of the bench.

He's going to sit here for the last two projects.

Seeing that he was in the competition, Liu Mang's pressure returned.

All-Star King, this quest, must be completed! It's about your future potential! Talent skill shards, which are important things to make yourself a unique dual-talent superstar.

Skill Challenge and Slam Dunk Contest, both competitions are difficult!

The most important thing is the slam dunk contest, there has never been a player in the history of the NBA who has won the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest at the same time, the supersonic Brent Barry, is a promising one, but this year he has been killed by Peja in the three-point contest and lost to become the person who won both the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest.

Liu Mang is now highly anticipated, and whether he can make history is the focus of fans' attention.

In addition, Liu Mang also knows that due to the watchability and difficulty of the Skills Challenge, it will be confirmed to be one of the three fixed events on the second day of the All-Star Weekend, with the same status as the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest...... Of course, it's just the status of the official event, the status in the minds of the fans, and the Skills Challenge is definitely at the bottom.

But if Liu Mang has won all three championships, he will definitely leave a very perfect achievement in the history of NBA All-Star Weekend.

Liu Mang kept comforting himself and constantly hinting to himself that this task is a long-term task, don't be nervous......

In the cheers of the fans, Liu Mang came to the field to draw lots.

"Wow...... Ace, kill them, ...... "Maddie, who is not a big deal, yelled at Liu Mang on the sidelines, and the others who have a good relationship with Maddie, as well as those who have a good relationship with Liu Mang, and passers-by who have a bad relationship, also follow and coax.

Liu Mang's chrysanthemum tightened, as if someone was saying that the little master was handsome again, and felt a few hot eyes, and looked at the eyes, Kidd, Marbury, Payton, the three big men were all staring at him, because it was the home stadium of the Hawks, plus the live broadcast of the world, the expressions of the three were normal, but their eyes were extremely vicious.

Liu Mang looked at Maddie angrily, you are going to send the master to the crematorium! All three of them are going to fight hard!

Liu Mang glanced at the president of the league who was chatting happily with Price, the owner of the Eagles, this damn stinky old man, he knows how to do things, I don't know if the master and this two people don't deal with each other!

Fortunately, Liu Mang has an advantage!

It's not dribbling, it's not passing, it's not even shooting advantage, it's ...... He knows the rules!

Why is eventing finally determined to be a skills challenge, a slam dunk contest, and a three-point contest?

The first two are because they appeared early, and they are really interesting, so they stayed, and the determination of the skills challenge is because this event is also good-looking, and at the same time, as people's life rhythm is getting faster and faster, they don't like to learn about the rules of a new event every year, so they want to have a good time, just like every time the NBA regular season or playoffs change the rules, it makes fans complain for a while, in recent years, the All-Star has changed the game items on the comprehensive event day every year, and the fans have been a little annoyed, They want to see how players should play under the rules, not every year in the past, except for the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest, all other events need to be re-familiar with the rules.

Just like now, when the staff moves out the roadblocks like driver's license tests, takes out the small circle of passing and puts them up, and puts up signs on the floor for passing areas, shooting areas, etc., Payton, Marbury, and Kidd are in a fog, and they want these things in the skills challenge?

Fans also watched the circle, they thought that the skills challenge was a competition between players to show off their skills, but they didn't expect to use props, and they felt a little exciting inexplicably.

Liu Mang also showed a circled expression, listening to the referee introduce the rules of this game, and snickered in his heart - the master had already bought these tools and practiced at home many times! Hiahiahiahia……

The Skills Challenge is divided into three events, the first is to dribble over the obstacle and then get a layup or dunk, the second is to dribble the ball quickly and pass the ball, and the third is to dribble quickly through the full court and then make a three-point attempt.

Focus on the final layup, passing, and shooting three-pointers, and start from the dribble if you don't get into that project.

The clock starts when the players are ready and the referee blows the whistle, and after the final three events, the player with the shortest time wins the championship.

This game is a round, because even if it is 0.1 seconds, you can tell the winner.

Liu Mang followed the other three people, and after hearing the explanation of the rules, they showed a sudden expression of enlightenment.

Hear that the last item is to shoot threes! The other three were all unhappy, and they all put their eyes on Liu Mang, and among the four people present, this guy was reliable.

Liu Mang saw that the three of them were staring at him again, and couldn't help but sigh, spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm really lucky, I shoot a little accurately, this rule is a bit unfavorable to you." ”

Get lost! The three of them collectively turned their heads and ignored this bastard who got cheap and sold well!

Drawing!

Liu Mang was squeezed away again, and the three of them worked together to squeeze Liu Mang aside, Peyton and Kidd were originally two masters and apprentices who had a good relationship, although Marbury and the two of them had a general relationship, but now the three of them have the same hatred and are ready to kill Liu Mang, and they will grab the good signing position first.

It's just that sometimes, it's really not that you can grab a good signing position by drawing first, Liu Mang feels that he is lucky today! No. 4 lot! Last one to play!

This lucky boy!

Kidd looked at the No. 1 lottery in his hand, it was really damn good, he actually had to play first, so that kid could learn from the experience, not to mention, he didn't even get the No. 4 lottery on his side!

Watching Liu Mang sit on the technical table easily and talk to Maddie next to him and Kobe Bryant with a gloomy face, Kidd was so angry! Every time I see this kid, I get angry! There's nothing you can do about him!

Kidd adjusted his mentality and suppressed the unhappiness, he wanted to win! Even if he is the first to play, he has to win!

The referee blew the whistle, Marbury and Payton left the court, and Kidd stood at the start of the three-point line top arc on the left side of the court centered on the technical table, and ended in a solid semicircle outside the free throw line on the right.

Kidd signaled that it was ready, the referee flag waved, the whistle blew, and the timer began!

Liu Mang's attention was all on Kidd at this time, although he knew the rules of the game in advance and was prepared, but Kidd's skills, except for shooting, are definitely the strongest point guards in NBA history, and there are really few point guards and even all players who can be better than his skills, in case he breaks out to make a layup and three points, he really doesn't dare to say that he will win.

Sure enough, from the start, Kidd performed perfectly!

The first time I encountered this kind of dribbling bypass game, it doesn't mean that Kidd didn't have the training of dribbling around the roadblock, Kidd performed too well, unpretentious dribbling advancement, not fast, but very smooth in the process of advancing without letting the ball touch any roadblock, a few seconds later easily advanced to the free throw line on the right side of the court, rushed into the basket and hit an easy layup.

After landing on the ground, Kidd quickly advanced from the baseline to the left half, and after reaching the left baseline of the court, he came to the top corner of the free throw line and hit the basket with a precise pass 5 meters away.

Two projects were completed in just 16 seconds!

Liu Mang was stunned, too fast! That's really fast, isn't it? It's okay that I'm not so fast!

Seeing that Kidd received the ball and quickly advanced from the bottom line on the left side of the court to the front court, Liu Mang was a little confused.

This race, it seems that the fastest record in the future, is the 25.5 seconds set by Deron Williams, which is the fastest speed of Deron Williams after ensuring the accuracy of various positions, and it is also a performance that has been practiced for a long time, this Kidd is obviously the first time to participate in this competition, and it is so smooth! These first two projects are faster than Delong! Delong's was the perfect record for every project!

Watching Kidd dribble and rush outside the three-point line on the right side of the court, only 21 seconds have passed, and seeing Kidd slowly adjusting outside the three-point line, Liu Mang couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

! Why is this guy so strong! It's clear that you're against the master! At this speed, the master can't complete it!

Kidd slowly raised his hand, Liu Mang couldn't help but swallow when he saw every change in Kidd's movements, and when Kidd lifted the ball above his forehead and was about to throw it, Liu Mang's neck straightened as if it was the ball that was grabbed and lifted.

Everyone at the scene was silent, wanting to see if Kidd, the best point guard in the game, could complete this game smoothly and perfectly at one time!

It was all perfect, from the dribble at the beginning to the long pass from five meters away, it was all perfect!

Plus Kidd took three seconds to adjust this time, and the fans were ready to cheer! Kidd's popularity is also not low, and he is the fourth-highest voted guard player in the Eastern All-Star voting after Liu Mang, Iverson, and Jordan, and there are many of his fans at the scene.

And this kind of inconsequential game, although Kidd is the player of the Hawks' biggest opponent, the Hawks fans did not boo Kidd too much, and they all cheered when Kidd shot, wanting to see someone hurry up and finish the game and see the performance of the people behind him.

The ball leaves Kidd's hand and the arc is right! Flying steadily towards the basket, very positive! The direction is very positive!

Seeing the ball fall steadily to the basket, the fans are already standing up to cheer for the first player to finish the game!

The ball landed towards the basket, everything was so good, and then ......

In an instant, everyone on the scene was choked by the neck at the same time, everyone stared at the basket and was stunned, and after a few seconds, everyone on the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter, especially the players on the sidelines laughed too exaggeratedly, O'Neal, the big fat man, regardless of his suit, lay on the floor and rolled on the floor.

The ball that Kidd threw in the right direction fell on the bracket stretched out by Chen in the basket without much force and impartiality!

The ball spun on the rack of the basket for a while, and then stopped like that......

Yes, stopped!

What's the best thing about a pitcher? It's not about shooting hollow, it's about just throwing the ball on the basket and stopping!

Everyone at the scene couldn't help but laugh at this scene, and the Phillips Arena turned into a sea of joy......
