In the parking lot of a supermarket next to Dinah's school, Liu Mang was waiting for Dinah and Alexia to come out of school, and Levia had already driven to the stadium by herself.

Today's such an important game, after the game, whether it is won or lost, the Hawks will have a large interview, in addition to the game, there is also a public interview session with the Hawks to the four All-Stars and the players who participated in the rookie game and the three-point contest, it may be early in the morning, Liu Mang definitely can't send them home, they can only go first, so Levia drives herself.

Of course, because it is such an important game, the three girls in the family are all basketball fans, and they are also Liu Mang's avid fans, so it is impossible to miss it.

"Use the Intermediate Superstar Value Draw to designate the star card."

"The host uses the intermediate superstar value to draw a lottery with a specified 50% chance of drawing star cards......"

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Bounce Card. ”

"Huh? It's been a long time since I've gotten this, so let's just keep drawing! ”

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for obtaining ......"

“……”

“……”

After the last draw, Liu Mang's superstar value was only 25,601 points, and the things drawn in the four draws were rebound cards, intermediate injury potions, and Eddie House's star cards.

The first two are very good, and the stars are a little bit second.

Liu Mang is hesitating whether to continue to draw, there are only more than 20,000 superstar points left, although the opponent of the Timberwolves is important, but it is only the regular season, and it is basically unlikely to meet in the playoffs.

However, it could be an MVP battle!

It's not easy to play the Timberwolves, and during the two-day break, the Hawks have been studying how to deal with the Timberwolves, and when it comes to tactical training this morning, the coaching staff has arranged a ...... Tough!

There really isn't much to do, and if you want to use one word to describe the current situation with the three-headed monster, Coach Philip Saunders' Timberwolves system can be described as "perfect".

It's not that Liu Mang hasn't watched the Timberwolves' games, but he is not a professional tactical analyst, and the reason why academic coaches are more successful than player-type coaches is because they use scientific knowledge to analyze tactics, unlike player-type coaches who rely on experience and ...... Chicken soup.

When the Hawks analyzed the team's tactics, after a wave of analysis by Coach Kruger, Liu Mang knew how great the Timberwolves' system was, and the defensive system built by using Garnett and the offensive system built by using Kassel and Garnett can be described as perfect.

If it weren't for Garnett's teammates being a little inferior, only Kassel an All-Star and the quasi-All-Star of the Madman, the main thing is that another All-Star Szzebiak would have been reimbursed for the season after only playing for a month at the beginning of the season, otherwise they would have been stronger!

After some analysis by the coaching staff, Liu Mang's feeling about this Timberwolves is the poor man's version of the Big Three Celtics!

Liu Mang then understood why Rivers was later called Coach Chicken Soup, because the Celtics' tactical style of play was not something he came up with at all, but a direct copy of the 04 Timberwolves tactics, just promoted Sprewell to Ray Allen, Szzerbiak to Pierce, and let Cassel teach Rondo how to control the overall situation, Rivers's role is to copy this system to the Celtics, and then use the chicken soup method he is good at to mobilize the enthusiasm and competitiveness of players.

Of course, this is also an ability, and it is a difficult thing to get the players to play willingly and give it their all, and it is also a very good coaching ability to bring all the players together.

Liu Mang thinks that Coach Sanders is really powerful, he remembered that in the summer of 05, after the Pistons fired Larry Brown, they hired Coach Sanders as the head coach, and everyone thought that the Pistons were going to be finished, but they didn't expect Sanders to be the head coach, and Ben Wallace's obvious all-round ability declined, the Pistons' record improved by 10 wins, and played a 64-win record, beating the Spurs' 63 wins to get the best record in the history of the Pistons.

The original Pistons lineup is undoubtedly better than the Timberwolves, and it may be better than the Timberwolves now, but Coach Sanders' system makes this Timberwolves very strong, very strong, and the Lakers only played a 2-2 draw with the Timberwolves in the first four games of the playoffs.

The pinnacle Garnett came more terrifying than expected.

But that's MVP!

It's a big deal to save up slowly when the superstar value is gone, and if you can't get the MVP, that's called aggrieved, it's the first time you're so close to the MVP!

Moreover, looking at the more than 47 million hooligan value, when the all-star voting results came out, a large wave of hooligan values rose, and when things were done during the midway voting, it also rose a lot.

However, by the time of All-Star Weekend, everything was settled, and the hooligan value rose slowly, because Liu Mang's limelight had already been out at that time.

The original superstar value of more than 56,000 points, and 20,000 were rewarded with all-star ticket kings.

After the All-Star Weekend, all the strong teams in the league will start to exert their strength, and it has become difficult for Liu Mang to attract such a high level of attention, so winning the MVP has become a goal that Liu Mang must achieve, just the playoffs and championships, Liu Mang feels that it is not enough to increase the hooligan value by 50 million!

Liu Mang has a faint feeling that his current teammates may be the best teammates in his career!

With a salary cap of just over $50 million, it's too difficult for a team to have four All-Stars and an All-Star Legacy Rashid Wallace and an All-Star Jason Terry, next season Rahim is facing a situation of jumping out of the contract and getting a bigger contract, and Liu Mang will also have time to get a big contract next season!

When Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown were traded, the salary cap was already exceeded, and then Jason Terry was officially re-signed with bird rights, Jason Terry's salary rose by more than 6 million, and then signed three rookies and signed Stockton, the Hawks' salary this season has reached 59 million, which is close to the luxury tax threshold, and it is difficult to have such a group of teammates in the future!

Liu Mang feels that it is more important to rely on himself to understand which rookies will be ignored, and let the Hawks be selected, and the history of the league will change because of Liu Mang, but those players who are not favored are playing in college or the European League, and it has nothing to do with the NBA history influenced by Liu Mang, they are not favored or not favored, and the rookie bonus Liu Mang feels that he can enjoy it before he retires, but he still wants to have teammates with an annual salary of 40 million or even higher, and he has to get the top salary, except after 2016, There's basically no next chance.

Taking advantage of this time to enjoy the rookie bonus and have such a group of teammates, Liu Mang feels that this season is the best opportunity to attack the regular season MVP!

Although FMVP is also very good, there is still a qualitative gap between the influence of the regular season MVP.

Liu Mang gritted his teeth and smoked it! If the superstar value is gone, it is gone! There are not many opportunities to win the MVP, don't you see that Kobe, who is also a prodigal player, doesn't have many chances to win the regular season MVP, this kind of thing is really not good!

"System boss, let's have another intermediate superstar value lottery, or a designated star card!"

"The host uses the intermediate superstar value to draw a lottery and designates a 50% chance to draw a star card......"

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for receiving the Joe Johnson Peak Star Card. ”

"Ding...... Joe Johnson 06-07 Edition, Ability Rating 89, Three-Point Rating 79, Shooting 97, Layup 82, Speed 88, Power 83......"

"it!!" Liu Mang didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly!

Contemporary Jordan!

The evaluation of 97's mid-pitch ability is too good!

"06-07 Contemporary Jordan ...... No, what is Johnson's stats? ”

"Ding...... Joe Johnson averaged 25 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game in the 06-07 season, shooting 47 percent from the field, 29.7 percent from three-point range, 49 percent from the field overall, 50.5 percent from the free throw line, 44 percent from long range, and 49 percent from close range. ”

“…… It's really Jordan, this shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage...... But this mid-shot is too exaggerated! No wonder it will be called the contemporary Jordan! ”

Liu Mang fell into ecstasy!

Happiness came so suddenly!

"Uncle, uncle......"

Just when Liu Mang was silly, he suddenly heard the sound of banging on the car window, and when he turned his head, Xiao Lori and Alexia were looking at him with idiotic eyes.

"What are you smirking at?" Dinah asked speechlessly, "Dinah has been calling you for a long time!" Little Lori said dissatisfiedly.

It's embarrassing! Liu Mang was anxious: "I was thinking that we would go to Los Angeles to play after today's game, by the way, I was smiling a lot just now...... Isn't it silly? ”

"yes, it's silly." Dinah nodded seriously, "I don't believe it, uncle, you ask the teacher." ”

Liu Mang looked at Alexia, and Alexia nodded decisively.

“……”

Liu Mang opened the car door, and this time his face was lost!

I don't know if the stupidity just now was seen by people passing by, Liu Mang imagined his smirk, and a picture of a fool appeared in his mind, this picture, if it was seen and photographed by any reporter, his reputation would be ruined!

When Dinah and Alexia got into the car, they quickly closed the windows and moved away from the place.

"Uncle, Dinah and the teacher have taken a leave of absence, let's go to Los Angeles tomorrow!" Dinah cheered excitedly in the back row.

"Aida, is it so easy for you to take a leave of absence?" Liu Mang is a little curious, is it so easy for schools in the United States to ask for leave?

"It's easy for Dinah to ask for leave, it's not easy for us teachers, but our principal is also a fan of Ace, so it's much more convenient." Alexia laughed.

"I have so much influence?" Liu Mang didn't expect that he could actually influence a school principal to approve fake notes!

"Uncle, you don't know, our principal uses you to encourage the students on school celebrations! Last time, he came to the teacher to ask for your autographed star card! "Dinah is proud and honorable, as if she is famous.

“…… No wonder Aida, you asked me for an autograph, I thought you treasured it......" Liu Mang found himself thinking too much.

"Haha, Ace, I can see you every day, what do I want you to sign for." Alexia covered her mouth and laughed.

Looking at Alexia snickering in the rearview mirror, Liu Mang suddenly had an idea: "...... By the way, Aida, or don't be a teacher. ”

"I'm not working, you support me! I have to pay off my credit card next month! Alexia rolled her eyes.

As soon as Alexia said this, she suddenly felt a little wrong, and the atmosphere in the car became strange.

Little Lori looked at the teacher who wanted to beat her "father" with hostile eyes, and then looked at Liu Mang's head in front of her with vigilant eyes.

In this delicate atmosphere, Liu Mang couldn't help but say: "Okay! I ......"

Before Liu Mang's words were finished, Dinah interjected strongly: "Okay! The uncle pays the teacher's salary, and the teacher will be Dinah's tutor! ”

“……”

“……”

That subtle feeling disappeared all of a sudden, and Liu Mang and Alexia didn't notice that there was a little Lori next to them at all!

Evil little Lori! Ruined the good deeds of the master again! If it's not that big, you have to spank your ass to vent your hatred!

"Ahem, I like children, I'll continue to be a teacher!" Alexia was the first to divert the subject.

"Well, it's not bad to be a teacher, it's not boring usually, and we can still go and play together in the summer when there are so many long vacations......"

……

……

At 7:40 p.m., at the Phillips Arena, the players of both teams entered.

When the Timberwolves players entered, especially the madman Sprewell, the cheers reached their highest point.

"Murderer", "scum", "scum" and other insults were thrown at Sprewell.

Last season, Sprewell wanted to offend Liu Mang, although the final outcome was that Sprewell was asking for his own hardship, and he was reimbursed for this season, Liu Mang was not hurt, but the Hawks fans still hate this guy.

But a madman is a madman who raised his head in Wang Baoqiang's Nezha, and didn't care about the fans' abuse at all.

It's Garnett, who played against the Hawks for the first time this season, and he didn't talk about it as arrogantly before the game as he did in the previous two seasons, mainly because this year is a real chance to win the championship!

Garnett began to face up to the strong teams in another division, and the Hawks are undoubtedly the team most likely to become the final opponent, the previous Garnett's team is not high or low, and it looks down on the weak team and can't win the top strong team in the first round, especially for the Eastern team that has not won the championship for four or five consecutive years after losing Jordan, so I saw the Eastern team come first to provoke the other party.

But now that the Timberwolves have the strength to compete for the championship, Garnett has also begun to study the East, and then he has begun to be jealous.

The main thing is the Eagles in front of you!

Not all teams are Lakers, and last year's Spurs met the Nets in the Finals and almost capsized in the gutter, being forced to Game 6 by Kidd and Kenyon Martin, and most of the games were narrowly won.

And this season, Kidd has not declined, Kenyon Martin has improved, the first three times the two teams have met, the Nets were slaughtered by the Hawks one after another, and the Hawks had a chance to beat the Nets in the East finals last year, but because the young players did not give much help to the main six, the Hawks almost rotated six for a long time before finally losing.

This season, the Eagles have strengthened on a large scale, and the strong team posture has been fully displayed, and they have won the best half-season record of the new century with 42 wins and 8 losses!

Garnett looked at Liu Mang, and Liu Mang also looked at Garnett, the confrontation between the most arrogant inside line and the most arrogant outside line in the league is about to begin!

"Ding...... Season Mission Announced: Clash of Kings. ”
