456. Contemporary Forced King, Eastern Ticket King

After Big Bird retired and Jordan grew old, how long has it been since no one pretended to be strong for three days!

46 + 11 + 11, 23 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, defeated Marbury with a crushing attitude, words, actions, double response!

However, Liu Mang's remarks about the strength of this game are not the things that are most discussed, and the most discussed by people is that he "thinks about life" in the game, and after shaking the opponent, he did not continue to break through, did not shoot directly, but slowly dribbled out of the three-point line, and then shot three points after the opponent defended.

This...... Combined with Liu Mang's words before and after the game......

How long has it been since Larry Bird retired and Jordan grew old.

Jordan now says that weak is not weak, and there is an All-Star level anyway, but when it comes to being strong, there are a bunch of people in the league who are stronger than him, and Jordan is now spewing trash talk and spraying it with strength...... He can't do the star of many teams anymore, and Jordan can only say to Kobe Bryant now: I have 6 championships; Say to Iverson: I have 10 scoring titles; Say to Carter: I have two dunk kings; Say to O'Neal: I have six championship MVPs; Say to Duncan: I have 4 regular season and Finals double MVPs...... Jordan is basically done playing, and he will retire permanently after playing this year, so there is nothing to brag about.

Now the NBA's trash talk has become more and more vulgar, and David Stern is about to ban trash talk.

There are no more than three kinds of trash talk now, the first is Kobe Bryant's imitation of Jordan, who likes to hit opponents with honor and the like, one of the two cores of three consecutive championships, obviously has improved Kobe Bryant's status a lot, in addition to hitting opponents with honor, Kobe's favorite thing to say is: mud play Kai .......

The second is Payton's kind, when the team's strength is okay, in order to beat the opponent, the whole court chatters.

The third is the Garnett kind that annoys David Stern so much that he can't do it, vulgar and unbearable......

Trash talk is the strongest, or only the forcing kings Larry Bird and Michael Jordan, who are as eloquent as magicians, are a notch lower, when these two have faded out of the league, the NBA's trash talk has gradually become less than worth mentioning, opponents are disgusted, fans are disgusted, and league officials are annoyed, which is the current situation in the trash talk world.

However, in the past two years, it seems that trash talk has begun to come alive again! People are starting to look forward to trash talk again.

This trash talk is actually a one-man game, in the 80s, Larry Bird, Jordan in the 90s, except for these two people who come up with golden sentences from time to time, there is not much trash talk that people can remember and talk about, everyone else has an occasional flash of inspiration, such as Pippen's postman who doesn't work on weekends.

Therefore, in an era, it is enough to have a leader in the trash talk world.

Obviously, now people are looking forward to Liu Mang!

Liu Mang cut a rare 40+ triple-double once a year but did not make headlines, and the headlines of major sports magazines almost all meant: "The birth of a new generation of forced kings......

When these news reached China, many black fans expressed disbelief, saying that it was fake news, and then black fans temporarily disappeared, waiting for the next "rise" opportunity......

……

……

When: January 30th.

Location: Los Angeles.

Great place.

Drunken gold fans, groups of beauties, piles of nightclubs, third, fourth, and eighteenth-tier female stars are all hungrily looking for gold owners and male stars who want to climb the high branches and become famous.

Today, the Hawks are now so popular that they come to Los Angeles, and the streets and nightclubs are crowded with hot girls who are carefully dressed up and wearing clothes that can best show their figures, regardless of the fact that it is still a bit cold winter in Los Angeles, and they want to be lucky to meet an Eagles player, and then send a message to the paparazzi, photographing the two lingering all night, maybe it will be popular.

However, none of the Hawks players left the hotel tonight.

Because Raheem said that as long as the team can end this month's game with 4 consecutive wins, after playing the game with the Clippers, he invited his teammates to have fun that night, and by the way, he also bought Liu Mang a ticket back to Atlanta that night, saying that he couldn't take Liu Mang to a nightclub with great fanfare, which was illegal, and it was too pitiful to leave him alone in the hotel to watch him, Liu Mang gritted his teeth and held back a sentence: Thank you.

Although Coach Krueger is a little embarrassed by Raheem's strange way of encouraging his teammates, I have to say that this is a good way to pay attention to this group of black players.

Whites have a good face, Chinese are subtle, and most blacks are without self-discipline, because when they are in Africa, their natural conditions are too good, they don't have to do any work, God can give them food, and all kinds of natural foods cooked in the tropics a year make blacks "drunk today" for thousands of years, and don't have to worry about tomorrow's food.

The life of Africans is not quite the same as what we have understood since childhood, Africa is poor and backward, and it is inseparable from the large number of young and middle-aged laborers who were taken by Europeans to go to North America to work as slaves during the colonial period...... It's not like "actively surviving in a difficult environment" as written in textbooks.

The lazy character of most black people has also continued in the United States, and most black people are still like that, as can be seen from the fact that many black athletes went bankrupt and committed suicide after retiring.

Of course, there are also many black people who have worked hard to get rid of that "tradition" and become amazing people.

Rahim attaches great importance to this year's results, and the feeling of being in the playoffs last season and reaching the Eastern Conference finals makes him want to stop! The thirst for victory is no worse than Liu Mang.

Phoenix, Arizona, is very close to Los Angeles, and the Hawks players arrived at the hotel in Los Angeles at 11 o'clock in the morning, so when the Eagles arrived in Los Angeles, they all huddled in the hotel, idle and waiting for the starting list of the All-Star Game to be released.

Raheem has no hope of starting an All-Star this year, Maddie is fierce and Carter is still super popular, but Ratliff and Liu Mang have a great hope of being on the All-Star starting list.

A team has multiple All-Star starters, which represents high popularity, represents the number of live broadcasts in the United States, and represents jersey sales, which are all closely related to everyone in this team. It was the most popular Eagles in Atlanta, and the inventory was not bad, with more than 30,000 US dollars.

Normally, the team will discuss the money with the stars with high sales and divide it equally among everyone in the team, Liu Mang and Rahim, Jason Terry, and Ratliff, the four who have more than 10,000 shares, are no exception, and they are divided equally.

Because this money is not much, the jersey share is about three percent, and last season, the Eagles sold about 3 million US dollars in jerseys, ranking 9th in the league, and about 90,000 US dollars in the hands of players, and each player in the Eagles got several thousand US dollars.

It is precisely because all teams basically have this unwritten rule that the league later simply changed the rules, and the received share is shared equally by everyone in the league, and the stars will not be unhappy because of this, and the players of the weak team can also earn a little more.

Last season's Hawks jerseys were out of stock, this year is different, the Hawks have been on fire since the offseason, and Adi, the title supplier of NBA jerseys, has also used the Hawks as a cash cow and stockpiled a lot of inventory to avoid the despair of watching money delivered to the door last season.

Even the appearance of the big dog did not affect the Hawks' jersey sales, the Lakers, 76ers, Hawks, and Kings, four teams ranked in the top four jersey sales announced on December 31.

In terms of individual jerseys, Liu Mang's jersey sales rank fifth in the league, second only to Iverson, Maddy, Carter, Kobe, there is no suspense, the top five are all outside, and the sixth to tenth are Garnett, O'Neal, Duncan, Kidd, Jordan.

Jordan Wizards' jerseys, selling really badly, his jersey sales are supported by the Bulls retro version, the little blacksmith jersey is difficult to enter the top three, there is an O'Neal who has taken away a lot of popularity, until the 05-06 season, he entered the top three jersey sales for the first time, and relied on 81 points and an average of 35 points per game, the first time to get the first jersey sales.

Naturally, the Eagles players want to see as many jerseys sold as possible, and the more the team has as many national broadcasts as possible, so that they can get money and show their faces in the national broadcasts.

Therefore, everyone in the Hawks is looking forward to Liu Mang and Ratliff being selected as All-Star starters, because this year, Raheem may not be able to enter the All-Star bench, first of all, the record is average, and now it is 21-20, just over fifty percent.

The second is Rahim's data, once only averaged 17.3 points per game, the lowest since the rookie season, relying on the excellent performance of the last month or so, now he averages 19.2 points, 9 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, this performance, there is no big problem to enter the All-Star, there is no big problem not to enter, the performance of the All-Star edge, and the record is not outstanding, it is still difficult to enter the All-Star.

Jason Terry is even worse, averaging 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, which is not as good as relying on Liu Mang, who has just scored 46 points and has rebounded to an average of 17 points, 3.3 boards and 5.3 assists per game.

However, just looking at the games in the past month, the three eaglets can score an average of 70 points per game, but the data is average.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the NBA's official press conference announced the starting list of this season's All-Star Game, as well as the plans and invitation lists for some games.

The first thing to be announced is the Eastern All-Star starting lineup, the center position, Ratliff with 1.24 million votes and 850,000 votes for Ben Wallace, ranking first among Eastern All-Star centers, and being selected as an All-Star starter for the second time in his career!

In terms of forwards, Raheem can only tear up the old and the newcomer, Maddie with 1.47 million votes over Carter, whose votes have skyrocketed after his comeback, with 1.39 million votes, and his cousins are selected as All-Star starters.

In terms of guards, Liu Mang won the Eastern Conference vote with 1.55 million votes, and Iverson ranked second with 1.33 million votes, and the two were elected All-Star starters.

Jordan received 1.3 million votes and missed out on an All-Star start for the first time in his career.

In the West, in the center position, Yao Ming's 1.26 million votes beat O'Neal's 1.15 million votes to be selected as an All-Star starter.

In terms of forwards, Duncan and Garnett, the two No. 21s, were once again selected as All-Star starters, with Duncan 1.14 million votes and Garnett 1.09 million votes.

In terms of guards, Kobe Bryant won the All-Star vote king for the first time in his career with 1.61 million votes, and Kobe's performance this year did explode, he performed 40+ in 9 consecutive games in December, and the scoring explosion began to show and won the All-Star ticket.

And the other All-Star starter in the West is, of course, Francis, who is already very popular, after Yao Ming came, Francis finally didn't have to work hard to have half of the votes less than Kobe, this time he got 1.01 million votes, and he also became a million-vote member.

This all-star vote seems to be higher than Liu Mang's memory, probably because of the influence he brings, which opened the domestic market in advance, and maybe it also attracted some fans in the United States who originally did not vote to vote for him, and if you want to vote for one person, you must vote for nine other people, so almost every player has a few percentage points more votes than Liu Mang's original time and space.

Seeing that two more teammates were selected as All-Star starters this year, the Hawks players were excited, and Jason Terry began to play tricks, shouting for a treat, and everyone else followed suit.

"Hahahaha...... Treats! You can choose any nightclub in Atlanta during the All-Star Weekend, and don't be beaten to death by your girlfriend or wife, just choose a woman! "It's rare for Ratliff to be so excited.

Seeing that Ratliffe had agreed to a treat, the Eagles players began to cheer.

Wait, as if I forgot something, it seems that there is another person who has been selected as an All-Star starter.

It seems to be the same last year, everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Mang, white and clean, his beard hasn't grown yet, he can't go to nightclubs, and he is still the youngest in the team......

Continuing to cheer, the Eagles players are chanting "DOY......"

Liu Mang was inexplicable, what did this group of people do when they looked at him? Also, is it okay for the master to be selected as an All-Star starter, why do you cheer for Ratliff alone?
