The games with the Wizards and Pacers made fans see a different side of Liu Mang.

In the face of historical celebrities, while seemingly arrogant and arrogant, there is no lack of respect, roaring before the game, but after the game, regardless of winning or losing, there is no disrespect for the opponent, but full of respect.

The shameless sophomore guy has changed many people's impression of him, of course, there will still be people who should be scolded shameless, scolding Liu Mang shamelessly has become a landscape in the NBA, even his fans use adjectives such as "shameless" and "hooligan" to describe him.

This makes Liu Mang not know whether to laugh or scold every time he looks at the posts on the Internet.

Liu Mang was packing his clothes at home, this time first in a wave of five consecutive visitors, then came back to play a home game, and then two consecutive visitors.

There is only one day off after playing the Pacers, and the team takes care of the players who just played yesterday to let the players sleep a little more warmly, and the plane is scheduled to go to Toronto at 3 p.m., and tomorrow is the 18th, the last back-to-back start day of the month.

As of January 16 against the Pacers, the Hawks' easy start schedule has ended, and the record is a bit of a, 15-19, that is, to complete the win rate to 50% by the end of January, and play 8 games in the next 14 days, at least 6 wins.

Such a tight schedule, the Hawks crossed from the romantic and sweet schedule to the middle of the season of the Devils, it came so suddenly, in fact, this is also the most difficult place for the Rockets during Yao Ming's peak, often the Rockets started to play okay, and reached their peak during the New Year, and then after the difficult schedule, a wave of injuries struck because of fatigue, the core was suspended, the record collapsed, and the playoffs returned, and the final ranking was only fifth, not once or twice, the Rockets experienced this situation several times.

For example, the 07-08 season was a vigorous 22-game winning streak, 22 games, and 22 games were played from January 30 to March 17, a total of 48 days were played, that is, roughly calculated, there was a game every other day.

And it can't be roughly calculated, there is an eight- or nine-day All-Star weekend in February, that is, the Rockets are halfway through their 22-game winning streak, which is 40 days and 22 games, during which time the Rockets showed the strength of the championship, but in the end, the Chinese Spring Festival had just passed that year, and it was early spring, but the Rockets collapsed not long after the winning streak.

Yao Ming's most unfortunate thing is that he has not yet waited for the Chinese market driven by him to enter its heyday, and he does not need to arrange stacks of fixtures for his team during the Chinese New Year, seeing that he is at the peak of his 29 or 30 years old, and when he can enjoy the peak years in a relaxed schedule, he has retired due to injury.

The league is already warming up for the Chinese New Year, and the Hawks devils schedule is starting from January 18 to March 31, 72 days, 38 games, and the All-Star Weekend in between, which consumes seven days, that is, 65 days and 38 games.

Capitalists are always profit-oriented, and David Stern does take care of Liu Mang, but in a profitable situation, as for Liu Mang's future......

There are so many stars in the NBA who are the league's signature or highly praised stars at their peak, and they are miserable after retiring, will the league care?

Liu Mang's current Eagles team is lucky, Rahim has not lost his enthusiasm for the game, he trains actively, and he is still the iron man who has never missed the game because of injury in the previous six years, Jason Terry and Muhammad will not talk about it, they are all evergreens who will never retire if they don't play, except for Ratliff who has a history of injury, the core lineup of the Hawks has done a good job in preventing injuries, and Ratliff because of Liu Mang's appearance, the Hawks have a small lineup play most of the time, the appearance of Boozer and the return of Kevin Wesley, At the beginning of this season's December, Latliff's average playing time dropped to more than 23 minutes and less than 24 minutes, playing quite healthily, and playing less time, and his efficiency was very good.

It would be strange if you had entered this kind of schedule last season when the team had just started to be cohesive, but the record was so poor and the second team was so poor.

Fortunately, this year's Hawks' core lineup has been tacitly partnered for a season, and the bench lineup has been supplemented by Prince, Boozer, Kevin Wesley, and Danny Ferry who can play his anti-aircraft gun ability on the court...... Averaging 2.6 points per game in 5 minutes, close to 1 three-pointer per game, which is also considered a threat, the Hawks have more options inside and outside, unlike the bench lineup when the Rockets have superstars, so this kind of schedule is acceptable.

Liu Mang filled a box full of clothes, and asked Prince to help bring his shoes.

Speaking of NBA players, they relatively prefer to "bully" those rookies who seem to be arrogant, Barnes is the most called as long as he is with the team, but Barnes is also happy, because the overall atmosphere of the Hawks is very good, every time he is called to buy something, he also pays attention to whether this second-round rookie is rich, and every time he will give an extra ten or eight yuan, give a whole number, and he doesn't need to find more.

Boozer has become the object of frequent calls from the old birds because of his appearance.

Liu Mang, who is good at "bullying", likes to call the honest Prince to work, mainly because Prince's sense of presence is too low, no one calls him, and he himself still thinks that he is isolated, and when the three rookies chat, they happened to be heard by Liu Mang, who came to the stadium earlier, so he put the matter of calling Boozer on Prince.

Sometimes people are really cheap, giving him extra work to do, the kind that hasn't paid overtime, Prince has become more active......

Cold Toronto and Milwaukee, you have to bring more clothes, this group back-to-back, with the tough Carter, and the Bucks who have exploded again after getting Payton, the Hawks' last eight games in January, the toughest of these two games.

After packing up his things and looking at this familiar room and one thing, Liu Mang sighed a little, after these two waves of away games, he will come back on the first of next month, and it is estimated that he will have to move.

I feel a little excited to follow the beautiful landlord to the newly bought villa, and I am about to live the life of a luxury capitalist.

There are not many opportunities to eat at this house, but fortunately, the time for the team to take the plane is three o'clock in the afternoon, so Liu Mang is ready to have lunch and drive directly to the airport.

Now as the second-highest star in the NBA sneaker endorsement, Liu Mang is already a rich man, driving a sports car will not become news like at the beginning of last season, although Liu Mang does not say that he dislikes those laces, but he always feels weird, now driving the car of a beautiful landlady, he has money to refuel, how great.

As for buying a car?

Just kidding, Levia's so many cars are idle......

Liu Mang found the perfect reason for himself to eat, drink, and drive.

Liu Mang came to the sixth floor, Alexia was preparing lunch, Liu Mang looked at the time, 11:55 Eastern time, there were still 5 minutes left, and the votes for another All-Star Weekend voting were about to come out.

After this vote, the next time it will be announced, it will be time to determine the All-Star starters.

Liu Mang saw that Dina was helping Alexia, and Levia was actually watching TV, which was enough.

However, it was sports news, and Liu Mang also sat down to watch the news.

The NBA's official press conference has begun, announcing a number of league penalties ahead of the release of the vote count for the new edition.

There are several penalties.

Rasheed Wallace of the Trailblazers ate his fifteenth technical foul of the season in the last game and was fined 2,500 yuan.

Before 1998, there were still many players who were still on cheap salaries, and the technical foul fines after Jordan's Law and before 1998 were very small and negligible.

The rule after 1998 is that players are fined $1,000 for the first two technical fouls in a season, two more $1,500, and then $2,500...... I was fined 32,005!

This is not counting the fine for two technical foul expulsions, the first eviction will result in an additional $1,000 knife, and each subsequent expulsion will be punished according to the number of evictions multiplied by $1,000.

Liu Mang saw the number of technical fouls by Rashid Wallace, thinking that the Trail Blazers have played 40 games at most so far, right? There will be a technical foul in at most three games, and there is no one.

Regarding the fine, Liu Mang feels that the only advantage of the fine is the pre-tax penalty for salary, so there will not be a player who pays the tax penalty once, and the league's income is fined again, which will be deducted directly from the next salary, and now the player will not have a half-month salary is not enough to fine...... Except for the ten-day contract, there is a provision in the ten-day contract that the team can subsidize the fine within a certain number of times, after all, some players who sign a 10-day contract really can't afford to pay the fine.

The good thing is that there is no cumulative number of suspensions in the penalty clause for technical fouls now, otherwise Rasheed Wallace would have had fewer technical fouls that season when he had 41 technical fouls, because at least a dozen games would have to be banned......

The second penalty was that Kobe Bryant got into a verbal altercation with Gary Payton during the game, the two elbowed each other and both received technical fouls, Kobe Bryant fined 1,500 US dollars and Gary Payton 2,500 US dollars.

The third punishment is......

Fourth......

The final punishment, Ace Liu's indecent actions in the game against the Pacers on January 16, 2003, was given an additional warning penalty and a fine of 5,000 US dollars.

At the same time, the league announced some new rules on technical fouls, and the choke lock action, whether it is someone else's throat or one's own throat, is included in the scope of technical fouls that must be blown.

There are also other actions and gestures, such as indecent gestures such as holding eggs, gangster gestures, some provocative meanings, etc., which are incidentally included in the list of prohibited actions that must be blown for technical fouls.

Liu Mang felt that he was being targeted!

Liu Mang complained that he was "targeted", and then wondered a little, didn't he say that the good alliance would not punish himself for those gestures of his own?

"Ding...... Rest assured, the host is not being punished for provoking Reggie Miller. ”

Because of Liu Mang's words after the game, and Reggie Miller's words that seemed to approve of Liu Mang, public opinion did not accuse Liu Mang of acting like that eight times in the game, but regarded it as a beautiful talk.

But the alliance is really afraid that Liu Mang will do things at two ends in three days, and he didn't fight this time, what about next time?

Now that the league has regretted giving the Eagles this kind of loose schedule, who knows how they play the worst when the schedule is best?

Now it is a very difficult situation to enter the playoffs, and if the Hawks are suspended from the playoffs because of some fights caused by Liu Mang's provocative actions, the hope of this year's playoffs is really cold.

Liu Mang analyzed it himself, yes, he has to thank the alliance for the fine?

Depend on! When the master is willing to be idle and have nothing to provoke the opponent! The master is a good citizen!

Also, 5,000 US dollars!

, there are more than 2,600 after tax deductions, Liu Mang is dripping blood in his heart, and he can refuel the car many times......

……

At 12 noon, the counts were announced for the penultimate count of All-Star Weekend.

On the western side, Kobe Bryant continues to dominate, Kobe Bryant's popularity this year is indeed invincible, in Carter's half a season of play, O'Neal has been repeatedly injured, Kobe Bryant with those teammates who now look old and slow, stunned to hold on, did not fall out of the top five in the West, entered a period of rising popularity, 1.23 million votes, only four votes exceeded the leader in the million.

Francis ranks second among Western defenders with 720,000 votes.

Western Conference forwards Garnett and Duncan both broke 900,000 votes, and 1 million votes are not far away.

Center...... Yao Ming is the second person in the West to break one million votes, 1.03 million, just 200,000 votes ahead of O'Neal.

In the Eastern center position, there is an existence that has been complained about like Yao Ming, Ratliff, no matter whether the Hawks' record is good or bad, whether the Hawks collapse or rise again, he relies on the popularity that Liu Mang brought to the Hawks and the Hawks' record last season, and won the most votes in the Eastern All-Star center, with 890,000 votes, surpassing the second-place Ben Wallace by more than 300,000 votes, more than O'Neal in the West......

In terms of forwards, Maddy leads with 1.07 million votes, and Carter leads by 920,000 votes.

Raheem hasn't had such a good time this year, even with a recent upswing of just over 600,000 votes, and is fourth in the forward ahead behind Grant Hill, who has played just 29 games this year.

In terms of guards, Liu Mang got the second most votes in the league, leading the East with 1.1 million votes, and there was a gap between him and Maddie, who was the first scoring champion this year, but with the recent 54 points and a large triple-double, Liu Mang has surpassed Maddie and become the player with the most votes in the East.

Another position of Eastern guard, Iverson and Jordan are hot, but Jordan is obviously at a disadvantage, and the 76ers have a good record, and the aging Mutombo is exchanged for Van Horn, who is at his peak, and the 76ers are much stronger than last season, if it weren't for the Magic team occupying the top spot in the Southeast Division, the 76ers would be fourth in the East.

Regarding Mr. Qiao, who looks like he can't do Iverson in the all-star voting dominated by young people, Liu Mang feels that the years are really unforgiving, but he is still very happy about his eastern vote king.

Because not only Yao Ming, but also Liu Mang, a Chinese player, has supported the desire of domestic fans to vote, although there are still few domestic voting channels, it has also brought a lot of help to this year's All-Star vote, which is much higher than the original number of votes for Liu Mangjid.

However, there is also an angry aspect, Liu Mang is very dissatisfied, and he actually let the little blacksmith follow suit!

……

Enjoyed Aida's lunch, chatted about the new house in the afternoon, and talked about Dinah and Alexia's winter vacation arrangements, time passed quickly, an hour passed in three or two clicks, Liu Mang got the hug of the soft girl Lori, and drove Levia's jeep to the airport.

The plane took off at three o'clock, and the Eagles arrived in Toronto at half past five, and unlike Atlanta, which is like the northeast of the country, it is now pouring water into ice.

Fortunately, all residents and workplaces in Canada who normally pay the cost of the welfare system have electric heating equipment supply, and the electricity bill is negligible, so after arriving at the hotel, Liu Mang, a guy who is afraid of the cold, was finally freed from the three layers of clothes inside and three layers outside.

And this time, because it is colder than when I came to play away last year, it is deep winter, and Canada is the coldest time of the year, and there is no malicious disconnection of the heating circuit, and the Eagles' rest on the road this time is generally good.

After Liu Mang arrived in his room, he first nested in the quilt that had been hot for a while after turning on the electric heater, and looked at his superstar value, 14423 points, there was an intermediate superstar value reward lottery, there were Reggie Miller's 1989-1990 version of the star card, Ben Wallace's 01-02 season star card, 18 junior steal cards, 1 manic potion, 21 staminal potions, 19 primary injury potions and 1 intermediate injury potion.

There are also some skill upgrade cards that can't be saved by upgrading skills because they need to suppress some unskilled technical moves now.

Looking at the 21 physical energy potions, it is estimated that it will be gone after a few days of training, Liu Mang used 44 junior superstar value draws to replenish it.

"System boss, use 44 junior superstar value draws."

"The host used 44 primary superstar value draws, and consumed 4400 superstar value ......"

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 17 Mental Flasks, 5 Primary Injury Potions, 29 Skill Upgrade Cards, 4 Primary Steal Cards, and 1 Mania Potion. ”

"Ding...... Special note, since the number of skills possessed by the host reaches a certain number and the ability value is very close to 80, the purpose of stealing the card will have a special effect after the host's ability value exceeds 80, so stay tuned. ”

Special tip? Coming soon?

Kill obsessive-compulsive disorder!

Liu Mang took a deep breath and said that he was not angry, and greeted the next intermediate superstar value lottery that he was going to use next to get 54 points on Old Man Qiao's head, and his mood was a little better, and his luck might be a little better.

"System Boss, use the rewarded 1 Intermediate Superstar Value Lottery and designate a special card."

Of course, it's the best special card.,There's no shortage of skills.,Like back-hitting、Turnover jumper, these technical actions with skill bonuses haven't been developed yet.,It's more than a while to chew it out.,If the ability value is a puff of money, because there are too many full-level skills more than 80,Some of the abilities that haven't reached the effect of the bench bandit bonus will decline a lot.。

So Liu Mang is looking forward to drawing a chapter of awesome special cards.

"The host uses the rewarded Intermediate Superstar value for 1 number of draws, and there is a 3 chance of specifying a special card ......"

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for getting the Action Pack: Zach LaVine Dunk Pack. ”

"Zach LaVine Dunk Pack, minimum bounce requirement: 90, host met, 95 bounce points required to fully unlock the dunk action, the host can unlock all dunk moves in solo riding level 5, block master level 5, and peak training mode."

"Watts? Another god-level dunk bag? ”

……

……

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Carter hired a driver to buy an extended Bentley to bring the Eagles players to his house for dinner.

Because the recovery from the injury greatly exceeded expectations, when he heard the doctor say that his ankle was almost perfectly restored to the condition before the injury, he was so excited that he almost had a shot with a female doctor in her 50s......

From the beginning of recovery training at 15 to now, Carter found that his bounce and explosiveness were indeed not affected, but his body was a little rusty after lying down and clubbing on crutches for seven or eight months, and the rest was a perfect recovery, and he was extremely excited, and it happened that Liu Mang came, so he invited Liu Mang and his teammates to his house for dinner.

"UFO, this car is so cool!" Barnes said enviously.

"Haha, your name is Matt, you will have it too, I will give you a Ferrari, you can get it when you go back to Atlanta." Carter looked at the rookie with a drooling look and laughed.

"Really? That's great......" Barnes exclaimed in disbelief.

Carter said that he wanted to give Barnes a Ferrari, Liu Mang felt that it was not a casual shot, because American cars are cheap, and now is the time when the dollar is the strongest, hundreds of thousands of dollars can buy a good sports car, Carter's 6-year salary of 88 million US dollars has just taken effect this season, plus the endorsement contract he signed with Nike in 2000 for 5 years and 25 million plus helping Carter repay the 15 million US dollars in liquidated damages for the former endorsement brand, and some other endorsements, Carter's annual after-tax income this season is close to 14 million US dollars, and giving a Ferrari to Carter is as easy as giving James a sports car to his younger brother in the future.

Recently, Carter was in a good mood and made a promise to give it away, and immediately called the dealership he was familiar with selling Ferraris, asking them to contact the dealership in Atlanta to send a Ferrari to Barnes at the Phillips Arena.

Not to mention Rahim, who has a big contract, even Jason Terry and Muhammad, who rely on Liu Mang to get some endorsements, don't care so much about a sports car, only three rookies feel a little crazy when they see Carter specially bought an extended Bentley to pick them up.

It's just that Prince and Boozer are relatively restrained and don't directly express envy, which makes them regret it now, if they also follow Barnes to express their envy, can they also get a sports car?

But it's too late to regret it, and it feels stupid to follow Barnes at this time.

"Okay, okay, get in the car, it's cold." Liu Mang saw Carter pretending to be really painful, "Vince, you're crazy!" You don't know how cold it is here? Still going out to eat? Aren't you afraid that the road will be blocked by heavy snow for a while? ”

"Okay, let's get in the car." Carter really thinks that Liu Mang is enough, and he has so many words to invite him to dinner.

But Carter thought of what he had prepared, and immediately smiled: "I have a show at home tonight, which is definitely an eye-opener for you." ”

"O, Vince, you can't find a group of beautiful women to party at your house! Oh my God, you're crazy trying to win us! Jason Terry teased.

But when it comes to beautiful women, the atmosphere in the car suddenly comes alive.

Carter had a good laugh......

Liu Mang looked out of the underground parking lot, and it began to snow outside the window again, thanks to the heating in the car, otherwise it would be enough to choke, after the sun went down today, the temperature in Toronto has dropped to minus 5 degrees here calculated in Fahrenheit, that is, about minus 20 degrees Celsius, he estimates that he will be like a Northeasterner, his beauty and hair are covered with frost, and he has to be wrapped tightly in his body.

……

Arrived at Carter's house.

The Eagles players are basically Americans and Chinese, the ratio of numbers is 14 to 1, and it is the first time to go to the home of players outside the United States, looking at the exaggerated villa with a hill as a back garden, and the exaggerated villa with 19 wooden rooms.

The United States is also a vast land and sparsely populated, and compared to Canada, the United States is really densely populated.

In addition to the annual fluctuating property tax of one to three percent and a certain amount of currency depreciation tax or value-added tax assessed by the tax department, Canadian villas are really cheap, Carter's house that cost 3 million US dollars, changed to Atlanta, the area is at least half smaller, and it is only half the size of the house, it is impossible to be like Carter's house and the mountain behind is their family.

However, the house price is 3 million US dollars, the valuation of the tax department is usually around 150%, and the currency has to pay taxes whether it appreciates or depreciates, which is the most complained about in Canada.

Liu Mang looked at the huge living room full of musical instruments, a little dumbfounded, this is the legendary eye-opening thing?

Piano, guitar, drums, viola, clarinet, oboe, cello, electric piano, saxophone, flute, electronic organ......

Liu Mang looked at the musical instruments that were full of them, and his head was full of question marks, this is the legendary eye-opening and exciting thing?

Your sister!

I thought it was a girl!

However, contrary to Liu Mang's expectations, his teammates all let out an exclamation, and then rushed to the instrument he was good at.

Carter picked up the saxophone that he had received a music scholarship in college, Jason Terry walked to the drum kit, Kevin Wesley, who is still angry today, went to play the piano, Ratliff could play the trumpet, Rahim was actually a violinist, and Barnes could play the clarinet...... Even Boozer found the flute he was good at.

The instruments that Carter prepared were probably not bargains, and everyone was amazed at the awesome sound quality!

Liu Mang looked at the picture in front of him and felt that the painting style was wrong!

This group of big black coarse, one by one, can also play music?

Wait, it looks like there's someone out there who has made a music record......

Liu Mang felt that he was weak!

"How's that, isn't the show you prepared today great?" Carter hugged the saxophone and said proudly, "These are the top instruments I just bought,"

Suddenly, Carter saw that Liu Mang was still stunned and didn't pick his favorite instrument, and asked suspiciously, "Ace, what's wrong?" Don't you know how to play musical instruments? ”

Liu Mang quickly flipped through his skill library, and really found the instrument he knew......

Liu Mang said embarrassedly: "I know a Chinese musical instrument, but you don't have a ...... here."

"Oh? Chinese musical instruments? That's cool! Ace, what are you talking about, I asked someone from the musical instrument shop to send it! Carter said in a tyrant's voice, not bad money!

"Well, maybe you can't buy it here." Liu Mang was even more embarrassed.

"Ace, you're welcome, say, is it expensive? It's okay, buy it and I'll give it to you! Carter continued to behave like a tyrant.

"Okay, let's try to buy it," Liu Mangdan said bitterly: "That instrument is called ERHU-fiddle"

"Erhu violin? What brand is this? Carter was a little puzzled, he was a proficient instrument, and he had never heard of this brand of violin.

"It's not a violin, it's called an erhu ......"

Liu Mang looked at the only instrument skill in the system panel, Erhu playing Xiaocheng, and felt so painful...... Not to mention whether you can buy an erhu in Toronto, can you buy it back, and you want to have a song about Erquan Reflecting the Moon?

……

Overall, Carter's magic music flurry Pa, everyone had a good time, although in the end I didn't hear Liu Mang perform the legendary erhu, which made Carter a little regretful, but Liu Mang was still a good audience to watch the excitement, in order to avoid embarrassment, Liu Mang applauded loudly every time their chaotic performance ended.

At half past 10 o'clock in the evening, before the curfew, Carter asked the driver to send Liu Mang and his party back to the hotel, but fortunately, the snow stopped early and the road was not closed, otherwise Coach Kruger would probably be angry.

After Liu Mang returned to the hotel, he learned from the pain, it seems that he will really have to use the rogue value to draw some other talents in the future, otherwise it will be really embarrassing sometimes.

Like a little blacksmith from Milan, who knows both piano and violin, Liu Mang feels that if he doesn't have the talent that has always been popular, it will be really difficult to mix!

Liu Mang looked at the ceiling and sighed, these days, it is not easy to play in the NBA, and you must be versatile, otherwise if the team has a band in the future, you will not be able to fit in...... When I go back to Atlanta, I go to Chinatown to buy an erhu and put it on first......

……

……

Overall, it was a good night in Toronto, and on the second day, it was time to play the Raptors in the first game of a back-to-back on the road.

Carter is back!

The super high popularity continues!

There is no doubt that Carter is still the most popular player in the league, but he has been injured for nearly half a season, unlike the Hawks who only played 34 games, the Raptors have reached 39 games, 9-30 and the second-to-last in the East, people didn't know at first when Carter would return from injury, so his All-Star vote was affected, but he still sat firmly in the All-Star starting position.

Carter's comeback this time, it just so happens that the opponent is now in hot form, the Eagles who have 9 wins and 1 loss in the last ten games, with Liu Mang, a popular fried chicken, Carter and Liu Mang's match, there is no doubt that it has attracted the attention of basketball fans all over the world.

How is Carter's recovery from his ankle injury? The Raptors are said to have a tendency to trade Carter, but are the rumors that the ankle recovery perfect that has been released before true or false? After Carter's comeback, will the Raptors, who are now in the second-to-last place in the East, improve......

Carter is never short of topics at his peak, coupled with Liu Mang's recent popularity, Liu Mang has averaged 21.5 points, 3.3 boards, and 4.1 assists per game in the 10 games from December 21 to the present, although the average score per game is only 14.9 points, but he is once again regarded as the best sixth man favorite.

The Raptors are bitter, they were the top three teams in the United States last season, but because Carter had to be injured until at least January, in the first 39 games of this year, there were only two live broadcasts in the United States, one away against the Kings, and one at home against the Lakers, all of which were live broadcasts, and today finally have a national live broadcast in which they are the protagonists.

In the afternoon, the Eagles came to the Canadian Route Center, and since it was broadcast live in the United States, there must be a press conference before the game to promote the game.

Liu Mang didn't want to participate this time, but there was no way, he had to participate!

"King of the Five: Publicly declare to Carter before the next meeting with Vince Carter to dunk in the game to win more of the top five of the day than Vince Carter. Reward: A random skill card for Vince Carter. Defeat penalty: Loss of Vince Carter's dunk bag. ”

Looking at this task, Liu Mang really wants to open a certain stupid Lori's butt to flowers, and he has nothing to do!

But...... Carter's dunk bag is gone, it's really reluctant!

The function of the dunk bag is to give bonuses to things that could not have been reached, such as waist and abdomen, back strength, etc., when the bounce meets the requirements and there is a chance to dunk, and the action can be made naturally.

Although he has LaVine's dunk bag, Carter's dunk bag is also super handsome! Liu Mang was really reluctant.

The key is that if you win, there is also a random skill of Carter!

The demigod can't be drawn, but the skills of the death shackle and the air performer are very dazzling, okay! Liu Mang super wants.

Therefore, when the team's press officer just routinely informed Liu Mang of the press conference, unexpectedly, Liu Mang nodded without hesitation and said that he was going!

Coach Kruger, who was being interviewed at the press conference, and Lenny Wilkens, the opponent's Hawks legend and one of the best coaches in team history, were being interviewed, and it was about to be the player interview session, the Raptors' superstar Vince Carter came, and Liu Mang was also led to the interview hall by the team's press officer.

Carter greeted Liu Mang with his trademark smile, and Liu Mang nodded in response, his expression grim.

Coach Kruger didn't expect Liu Mang to come to the press conference, and he was shocked!

Seeing Liu Mang's expression, Coach Kruger was uneasy, and the opponent had a historical player...... A player who did make history when it came to dunking, Coach Kruger felt something was a little wrong today......

Coach Kruger already has a psychological shadow on Liu Mang's participation in the pre-game interview now!

Seeing Liu Mang and Carter coming, out of a keen sense of the news, seeing Liu Mang coming, the media's musket is also the question of Liu Mang: "Liu, Vince Carter is back today, do you feel anything different about this game?" ”

"Vince's comeback is a great thing for the whole league and all the fans, and we're getting to see the UFOs in action again, and I'm lucky to be playing against a team that has Vince."

Liu Mang's first answer was very polite, basically according to the script given by the press officer, which made Coach Kruger breathe a sigh of relief.

"Could it be that the uneasy feeling is that I am thinking too much?" Coach Kruger felt something strange, but Liu Mang didn't seem to have done anything when he answered the question today.

But the reporter is not happy! They want news! Something to do! With the exception of reporters from Atlanta and Georgia and local reporters in Toronto, the other reporters wanted to do something.

A reporter with a sports illustrated microphone in his hand asked: "Liu, after you have become stronger this year, your bounce and explosiveness have improved significantly, and almost every time you dunk will enter the top five of the day and the top ten of the week, will you perform today against Vince Carter, the best dunk overlord?" ”

Originally, seeing that it was a reporter from Sports Illustrated, Coach Kruger was a little worried that the other party would provoke trouble, but he didn't expect the other party to ask this question, and Coach Kruger was relieved.

Liu Mang's dunks are good-looking, but they are not what Liu Mang is good at, this season has been 34 games, Liu Mang has only 16 dunks, the average number of dunks of ordinary guards, Coach Kruger feels that Liu Mang will probably praise Carter at this time, from the polite aspect, Liu Mang has been doing a good job.

If it were usual, Coach Kruger was right to think like this, and Liu Mang also praised Carter's dunk last season.

But today......

Liu Mang struggled a little, pinched his thigh with his hand under the interview table, and forcibly said: "Is Vince the best dunk overlord?" I think he's only going to be second in second place now, and from today, I'm probably going to replace Vince as the best dunk player in the NBA. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

Even the reporter of the Sports Illustrated, who provoked trouble, didn't expect Liu Mang to be so direct!

Liu Mang recently challenged Jordan, then challenged Reggie Miller in the game, and now, challenged the dunk that is recognized as the best dunk in NBA history!

The Sports Illustrated reporter didn't believe his ears and asked in disbelief, "Liu, are you declaring war on Vince Carter's dunk?" ”

"Your English is not bad, you heard it right." Liu Mang teased.

After Liu Mang said his wild words, he also thought about it, and he had already declared war in his heart, what else could he do, the big deal was that the mission failed and lost some face, what if he won? Now Carter is only recovering from his injury, although it is a perfect recovery, but after resting for so long, his body will definitely not reach his peak state for a while and a half, and Liu Mang feels that his chances of winning are not particularly low.

“OH-MY-GOD!”

There was a burst of exclamations from the scene, and then everyone looked at Carter, who was also a little dumbfounded.

Carter was shocked by Liu Mang's declaration of war.

And then...... Carter was a little excited!

Looking at the eyes of the media asking for a response, Carter laughed and said, "Haha, I'm also looking forward to the showdown with Ace, has it become a dunk this time?" I watched Ace's game, you imitated my dunk, I didn't expect you to dunk so well, I really underestimated you! I accepted your challenge! ”

Liu Mang knows that even if war is declared, Carter will not be angry, Carter's temper is too gentle and good at accepting the change of things, just like he will be in the Nets in the future from the core to the team's receiving pitcher and empty receiver, and then to later become the sixth man, ordinary bench player, never had any complaints, almost seamless connection, Liu Mang understands that Carter is a person with a good personality.

Especially when a teammate's lonely and invincible dunk was challenged, the probability of Carter being angry is pitiful, but the probability of being excited to accept the challenge is greater!

In this way, Liu Mang has also changed from uneasy to thinking to now to a strong fighting spirit!

Looking at the fires that seemed to be splashing between Carter and Liu Mang in the eyes, the media didn't expect that what was supposed to be a routine pre-game press conference would really do something!
