(Because I'm not good at it, I'm not satisfied with how to write, but it took a few hours, and I was reluctant to delete it, so this chapter is free)

At midnight news on April 1, 2003 at 12 a.m., ESPN Sports announced an official announcement.

ESPN Sports announced that ESPN's NBA authorities were officially revoked to form ESPN Entertainment Channel, ESPN Sports' NBA channel will be officially withdrawn at 9 a.m., ESPN Entertainment Channel will start its trial at 9 a.m., and the first program will be officially broadcast at 9 a.m.

The first type of show is a talk show, the name of this show is "Ace Liu Talk Show", and the host is Ace Liu, a rising star of the Eagles.

April 1st, April Fool's Day, is not the official holiday of Western countries, but the New Year before the French calendar change in the 15th century, the old school in the 15th century refused to change the first day of the new year from April 1st to January 1st, so the reformers held a fake New Year's banquet on this day, found some fake "celebrities" to tease those old school, and then hyped up and ridiculed them, and the reputation of the old school also plummeted, mainly because January 1 became the New Year, everyone is used to it, and the old school can't make waves. Later, on April 1st, playing tricks slowly became popular and became a folk festival, which was not officially recognized.

However, although it is not officially recognized, in Europe and the United States, April 1 is indeed a festival that people like very much, and various industries will play some flowers at this point.

Students often take the opportunity to make all kinds of jokes among themselves, of course, as in China, there are also people who go to confess today, and if they are rejected, they say that it is an April Fool's joke, some are successful, some are really joking, and some are deliberately tricked by men......

The jokes between adults are a little more restrained, and of course, it is not excluded that there are those with blue heads who play big and get off.

However, it is the big companies that usually look serious that attach the most importance to April Fool's Day, and in the future, even the president of the United States and the news media love to do things on April Fool's Day.

But now, in 2003, April Fool's Day is more of a day for ordinary people to have fun with big companies who want to show off their company ideas, and the news media is still relatively conservative and rigorous before the era of the information explosion.

So as soon as the news of ESPN came out, many people actually believed it!

Of course, there are many people who don't believe it at all.

Netizens have no borders, netizens all over the world are the same, trolls are flying all over the sky, even if there are many people who don't believe it in their hearts, but the bar essence attribute explodes, and those who express disbelief on the Internet are sprayed, inexplicably sprayed, talking as if they believe in it.

NBA, a very common name in the United States, Liu Mang, is not a big shot, but the NBA and Liu Mang are linked together, which brings a lot of movement.

Many sports fans in the American sports circle were shocked, what is this guy who has been doing things from time to time in the North American sports world in the past two years?

Are you really going to do a talk show?

ESPN is such a big TV station, and it's really messing around with this guy?

Let's talk nonsense!

Since April 1st is a Sunday, there are really a lot of people watching the news on ESPN Sports in the early hours of Saturday night!

By the next morning, many news media reprinted the incident, and some morning newspapers even gave headlines!

No matter how noisy people are, no matter how fierce the words of a person who is a strong person who doesn't believe in it, and no matter how much the news media questions it, people who are highly concerned about sports and the NBA are looking forward to coming at nine o'clock soon.

Not only sports fans, but even NBA players were confused by the news, because there was a national live broadcast on the night of the 1st, and many stars were paying attention to it.

And because the time is too early, the news released in the early morning is about to start at nine o'clock in the morning, and there is no opportunity for those media who are trying to "refute the rumors" to interview Liu Mang or ESPN, and no rumor refutation information comes out, from early morning to nine o'clock in the morning, in just a few hours, Liu Mang became popular in the United States again overnight!

It doesn't cost money to watch the excitement, so from 7 o'clock in the morning, the ratings of ESPN Sports' NBA channel are unusually high!

It happened to be Sunday, and the ratings were even higher early in the morning than when the NBA regular season was broadcast live in prime time in the evening!

The closer the time is to nine o'clock, the higher the ratings, and by 8:50, it is even higher than the ratings of the playoffs.

At this time, most people who were interested in this almost turned on their TV and waited to watch TV to see what ESPN and Liu Mang were going to do.

Even if it's just fake news joked by ESPN, even if people are tricked, they can't miss a few taels of meat, at most a spray, a little saliva, or a few keystrokes of the keyboard to curse.

Like the No. 8 who got up at 4 a.m. in Los Angeles and just finished playing iron, a young guy who lived in a hotel arranged by Nike in New York didn't know how precious the hairline was, got up early to choose a jersey after entering the NBA, moved his family to Charlotte, a forty-year-old man who had a beer belly in less than two months, two big and one small beautiful girl in a luxury villa in Atlanta, and an amateur e-sports enthusiast in Houston...... Many people who have a good or bad relationship with Liu Mang are very concerned about this matter and wait in front of the TV.

By 8:59, the NBA channel icons were all changed, and a beautifully designed ESPN Entertainment Channel icon replaced the ESPN Sports icon, and it was the ESPN Sports icon that was moved to the middle of the TV screen, and then shattered, and an enlarged version of the ESPN Entertainment Channel icon appeared in the center, then zoomed out, and moved to the upper right corner.

It was exactly nine o'clock, the TV picture dimmed, and the pictures kept switching on the screen, all of which were Liu Mang's, the draft, the Eagles' debut against Francis, the picture of Francis, the picture of facing Maddy, the picture of killing the OK combination to win and lay the team's confidence, repeatedly beating Iverson, winning the rookie game MVP, All-Star MVP, dunking Duncan, shutting Payton, playing the outside, playing the inside...... and so on, there must be a background in each picture, and Los Angeles people often appear.

After the marquee-like pictures ended, a big English word art of "Ace-Liu Talk Show" appeared.

People didn't expect that ESPN actually played for real! What is this called the decision of the show really there!

After the opening scene, the scene switches to a studio, and the first thing that appears is a double-open door, next to which are two tall and handsome men, one black and one white, standing on the cool side of the door in suits and leather shoes, like two bodyguards.

The big stage, the lighting is also great, a delicate closed door, and a handsome guy who opens the door specially!

It looks so tall!

At this time, the music played, and the screen switched to a hot DJ, who was twisting his body and DJ, and when he saw the camera facing him, he immediately kissed the camera.

Even people who believe in this thing a little bit did not expect that ESPN would actually play for real! And looking at it like this, it seems to have cost a lot of money!

Just when people were amazed by the sets, lighting, etc., the beautiful DJ chanted in an excited voice: "Welcome to our NBA All-Star Grand Slam star, former Atlanta Hawks superstar, Ace Liu......"

Former?

This word made the people in front of the TV stunned.

The screen switches to the door, and the two handsome guys, one black and one white, make a gentleman's salute, and then open the door.

The spotlight hit the door that had just been opened, and the TV picture was accompanied by applause, and after the door was opened, Liu Mang's figure appeared on the TV screen!

It's really to play for real! Say it!

There was not even a single publicity, and it just came coldly!

Liu Mang walked out of the door with a few hand cards, and two handsome men walked into the door and closed the door.

After the camera focused on Liu Mang, Liu Mang's mouth opened fire like a machine gun: "Hello everyone, welcome to the new program launched by ESPN TV, the Ace-Liu talk show titled by the national beverage brand Very Coke, the Ace-Liu talk show is sponsored and broadcast by the Nike-Ace generation, thank you airjordan for your strong support for this program, thank you, thank you!" ”

Then Liu Mang in the TV screen applauded.

It's pretty formal! The audience in front of the TV inexplicably felt that this was really formal, this guy was really doing something!

The beautiful stage, lighting, professional DJ, and even Liu Mang's oral broadcast are so slippery, everything in the opening is perfect.

It's just that Liu Mang's applause at the end was a little abrupt, at this time the picture switched to the audience, there was only one uncle with melon seeds, and it was not an audience seat at all, just a few plastic stools, just such an uncle, there were scattered newspapers on the ground, and the newspaper also gave a close-up, which said "Ace-Liu went to the sea to make gold".

The uncle saw that the camera was facing him, and hurriedly applauded with Liu Mang on the stage.

The style of painting has changed!

Just now, I was still amazed that ESPN spent a lot of money this time, this stage cliff is new, and it must have cost a lot of money.

But who knew that the style of painting suddenly changed, the audience was so desolate, and the finishing touch of the newspaper "going to the sea to make gold", some fans who were eating breakfast in front of the TV sprayed directly, although I don't know where it was funny, but it just hit that point.

The picture switched to the stage, and Liu Mang on the stage seemed embarrassed when he looked at the empty auditorium, and then immediately "adjusted" his expression.

"Everyone must be very puzzled, I really want to ask, Ace, what kind of TV show do you come to play as an NBA player, can't you play well?"

"There's no way to do it, the NBA has been in a recession recently, so I can only come out to earn some extra money."

"Although I am not a professional in talk shows, I also have my advantages, as a veteran NBA professional league participant, I know more inside and first-hand information that others don't know, I believe everyone wants to know, right?"

As soon as Liu Mang's opening remarks came out, the laughter of the fan made many people spray milk, especially the sentence "senior NBA professional league participant", which made many people spray directly.

"It's all about the topic of industry insiders, let's get straight to the point! First of all, let's talk about the first-hand insider information I got! ”

Straight to the point so quickly? Not to mention, it really made the audience in front of the TV staring at the screen with wide eyes, watching what news Liu Mang was going to release.

In the TV screen, Liu Mang flipped his hand card, and then his expression became very serious.

The audience in front of the TV also held their breath, seeing Liu Mang's serious expression, is there really any big news to break the news?

For a while, the audience forgot that this was an April Fool's Day show, and they really took what Liu Mang said to break the news seriously......

After a few seconds, Liu Mang spoke: "Root out the news I got from insiders, the second leader of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant, ......"

Speaking of which, Liu Mang stretched the tail note very long, and deliberately used an accent here in the word "second".

When Liu Mang mentioned Kobe, many fans who are familiar with Liu Mang already felt bad......

"Kobe Bryant can't accept that he is the second leader of the team, he wants to be the boss, but he is reluctant to leave Los Angeles, and at the same time he is not the opponent of the strongest center in history, Shaq O'Neal, Kobe Bryant thought for a long time, and finally made the most important decision of his career, to join the Los Angeles Sparks, as the star of the Sparks, and realize his dream of being the boss!"

Depend on!

Only then did the audience in front of the TV understand that today is really April Fool's Day! This is really a spoof show.

However, instead of losing interest, the audience became more interested!

Sending Kobe Bryant to the NBA at the beginning, it was such a hot thing at the beginning, and what happened next?

The audience is looking forward to it!

Someone in Los Angeles threw the remote control directly at the TV, but if the boss can throw things accurately, he is not the boss, so close to the perfect remote control perfectly slid past the TV......

The TV footage continues.

"I wish Kobe Bryant a perfect career, he will definitely be the first man in history, but in the NBA."

"The next news is about the Spurs, who are now number one in the league."

People are looking forward to who Liu Mang will spoof next, but they didn't expect it to be the Spurs, a team that no one mentions and feels like they have been expelled from the NBA.

People are curious, what is there to say about the Spurs, a team that makes people bored to watch?

"Spurs star Tim Duncan has lost in the playoffs for three consecutive years, defeated by O'Neal for two consecutive years, lost confidence in his basketball career, and is ready to devote himself to the entertainment industry, as a comedian, he found some photos of his smile according to the requirements of the TV station and sent them over, whether he was selected by the TV station, I don't know this yet, but I got those photos he posted......"

Then the TV screen switched to Duncan's various lewd jokes on the NBA court......

There is also a collection of Duncan's various overlooked images......

The audience was stunned, they really couldn't think of any place where Duncan could be hacked, they didn't expect Liu Mang's angle to be so tricky to black Duncan, and the audience never thought that Duncan, who became a popular superstar in a team like the Spurs purely by strength, still had such a side.

The audience is becoming more and more curious, who is next!

"When it comes to the first person in basketball, we have to mention Jordan, and what I admire most about Jordan is his draft vision......"

Next, Liu Mang put Jordan, Francis, Iverson, Carter, and Maddie ...... Even his teammates on his own team and his compatriot Yao Ming teased that the ratings have been at their peak, once exceeding the ratings of the NBA Finals in the past few years!

The more than 10-minute talk show time is over, and the audience in front of the TV has questioned it from the beginning, to the end, it is a little unsatisfied!

"Happy times always go by quickly, and I'm going to say goodbye to everyone here, the theme of the next episode is "The Private Lives of NBA Players", and the next episode will be broadcast on February 29, 2003, and it will still be broadcast live in the United States, and everyone will see you there."

Then the picture went black with a "boom", and a line of subtitles was typed: goodbye by fate.

The audience didn't react for a while, and when the show was over, the screen switched back to the normal ESPN sports icon and began to play advertisements, and people reacted, where did they come from on the 29th in February! And February 2003 has long passed!

……

New York Hilton Hotel, Liu Mang watched his own performance on TV, the battery of the mobile phone next to him had been pulled out, and after the TV show started, Kobe, Jordan, Duncan, Maddie...... started bombarding him with phone calls and text messages, and Liu Mang decisively pulled out the battery......

This show was scheduled a while ago, so how can you not do something about such a big festival! Not to mention the designated tasks issued by the system.

Although it only has a superstar value of 5,000 points, it is a lot of meat, and it can also help itself endorse the very Coke to promote it in the United States.

The show was recorded at ESPN's New York branch yesterday afternoon, the kind that was not cut, and when those stars were blackened, Liu Mang really blurted out, and the director was reluctant to cut out any frames, and the more than 10-minute video was basically released.

Just when Liu Mang was quite satisfied with his TV debut, which may be his only performance, there was a bang on the door of the room.

"I'll go!" Liu Mang only rang at this time, the battery of his mobile phone was unplugged, and he could escape the phone bombardment of those stars of other teams, but he still had a group of teammates living in a hotel!
