People are selected as All-Stars, receive all-star trophies, and they all drive luxury cars to celebrate with their teammates, what about themselves? Walking home, three kilometers is not far or close......

The teammates made an appointment to celebrate the selection of Jason Terry and Rahim in the evening, but Liu Mang had nothing to do, with a "child" who couldn't drink, and a group of players who were now popular and were closely watched by reporters, and it was discovered that it was a bombardment of public opinion, so they simply left Liu Mang behind.

Although it's the first time I've heard that All-Star players have trophies, of course it's normal to think about it, the best of the month has trophies, and of course All-Stars should have them, I remember that in the seventies, it seemed to be an All-Star ring, and later it was changed to a trophy, and the All-Star jersey more than ten years later will embroider these trophied awards on the All-Star jersey of the player who was selected as an All-Star, Kobe Bryant and Duncan's jerseys can't fit down......

However, the three vice presidents of the NBA are also very busy, and these vice presidents have to present awards for All-Star, Month of the Month, etc., and there are a bunch of awards such as the best team at the end of the season, no wonder the vice presidents want three......

Liu Mang was walking home and thinking crankily to pass the time.

As for why not call a taxi, almost every family in the United States has a car, known as the country on wheels, the car is a means of transportation in them, many high school students if they get a driver's license in advance, they will buy a second-hand car with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the indispensable condition for the high school graduation of the United States is to get a driver's license, because this is equal to their ID card, and the other ID card is a passport, they don't have an ID card here, saying that the ID card is an invasion of personal privacy.

Of course, it has also brought many unsolved cases to the US imperialists, and it is possible that this criminal does not have a passport and driver's license at all, and even if the surveillance takes a photo, their public security information system will not be able to find this photo information at all.

Liu Mang finally sighed at the benefits of growing taller, and returned to the apartment in three kilometers and twenty minutes.

A little hungry, go and see if there is any fast food in the refrigerator of the beautiful landlady, there is always food in the refrigerator of this family of two.

Liu Mang went straight up to the sixth floor and found that Levia and Dinah were both at home! Sitting on the sofa in the living room, it seems that he is watching the recently popular American drama Mystery Woman, a TV series that I don't remember.

"Dinah, isn't it Monday?" Liu Mang asked strangely.

"Uncle doesn't want to see Dinah, he must want to go on a date with his mother secretly! Hmph, Dinah won't give Uncle this chance! Dina habitually ran to Liu Mang and jumped up.

Liu Mang reluctantly caught Dinah, so as not to fall, but it was very troublesome to have a trophy in his hand: "Levia, help me get my trophy, don't break it, I heard that the manufacturing industry in the United States is unreliable, and it will break if you fall." ”

Levia put down the remote control in her hand to help Liu Mang catch the trophy and asked, "Ace won the award?" What awards? I see, the 2001-2002 Philadelphia All-Star official game players of the National Basketball League...... Ace, you've been selected as an All-Star! Wow...... God, oh my God, Ace you're so handsome! ……”

Levia was even more excited than Liu Mang! Even buy karma, even buy karma, keep shouting.

Liu Mang originally thought that if he was selected as an All-Star one day, he should be the same as Levia, who is now excited...... Well, and Dinah who couldn't hold back her arms and wanted to jump up was as excited.

"Uncle has become an all-star? Wow! Our Eagles have three All-Stars! Uncle is the most handsome...... Uh-huh......"

Dinah took a sip on Liu Mang's face.

Seeing that Levia and Dinah were so excited, they even turned on the thing that was still called an amplifier this year and started dancing...... Samba? Depend on! Dinah, this little Lori can also jump!

It's weird, but it's attractive! Liu Mang was also pulled to jump along, half-pushed and half-pushed, and Liu Mang didn't jump with him, saying no, his body was still very honest......

However, seeing that Liu Mang could twist his waist with the same hands and feet, the big and small beauties almost didn't laugh......

……

……

I made a fuss at the beautiful landlady's house for a while, and ordered a lot of takeout and some alcoholic drinks, Liu Mang also drank some, I didn't drink it for a long time, I was a little drunk, and I was so tired that I couldn't go back to my suite after a while.

I just took a shower and got ready to go to bed and rest, the last month or so is really physically and mentally exhausted, the body can be expelled with physical energy medicine, the kind of watching videos, training, tactical training, and constant games for different opponents every day are exhausting, especially for a rookie who has just entered the NBA, even more so, how can college be so tired, plus crazy March, a season of up to 40 games.

The rookie wall, sometimes it's not because of the technical ability at all, or because it's targeted or something, it's purely because many rookies are tired of playing in the regular season, and they naturally play poorly.

Fortunately, Liu Mang did nothing in his previous life, he didn't want to have regrets in this life, he didn't want to have an opportunity, and he couldn't grasp it like in his previous life, and he insisted on finding different fun from each game, otherwise he might really hit the wall.

Of course, his weird and changeable style of play also makes every opponent who meets him feel incredible, and it has a lot to do with the fact that there is one more way to attack at two ends in three days, and the opponent doesn't know how to defend it.

Just when Liu Mang was lying down and about to fall asleep, his mobile phone rang.

Who is it! Liu Mang picked up his phone angrily...... Alexia? Ahem, Liu Mang's angry mood immediately changed abruptly, and he answered the phone and asked quite gently: "Hey, senior sister, why did you ring to call me?" ”

"Ace Ace Ace ......" Alexia was very excited and called Liu Mang's name many times in a row, "You have been selected as an all-star?" My God...... Bala Bala Bala ......"

Another interjection, Liu Mang can't help but feel worried about the lack of language and vocabulary of the American imperialists, no wonder it will be occupied by the online articles of my Great Celestial Empire in the future......

"I didn't expect that the little ghost I met at the airport who couldn't find his way and was going to cry would one day become an all-star! What a blessing! Ace is so handsome! Alexia finally seemed to say the interjection tired of excitement and finally ended her excitement.

That's how it feels! Having someone to be happy, happy, and excited with you is the best thing about being selected as an All-Star.

"Haha, of course, your brother and I will one day become the best player in the world!" Liu Mang said proudly.

Proud! Of course, this is the time to be proud! Although the coach was also happy for himself before, the coach was a person who was very good at restraining his emotions, and he didn't show it much, and he didn't want Liu Mang to be proud.

Adam Silva, who is a vice president, sees a lot of All-Stars every year, and even sometimes decides who some All-Stars are, so it's impossible to be too excited, it's just to come and see this Chinese player, face to face to see if this rookie has any value in training.

The boss came from New York only because the team had three All-Stars, and he must have become famous and wanted to make more money, not just because Liu Mang was happy alone.

Only at this time did these three people make Liu Mang really excited and proud.

"Cut, Ace, don't be too complacent, work harder, the coach didn't choose you, but the league appointed you to be an All-Star, you have to work harder......" Although Alexia was happy for Liu Mang, she still reminded Liu Mang not to be complacent.

"Senior Sister Aida, how do you feel as verbose as my mother nagging my dad......" Liu Mang habitually complained, and suddenly found that the words of complaint were a bit like that, and quickly explained: "I just said like, like, don't get me wrong." ”

"Hahaha...... Ace, you're so cute, no, I'll laugh for a while. ”

Listening to the laughter on the other end of the phone, Liu Mang really wanted to say that he was not cute! Our country is cute and it means that no one loves it, do you understand!

It's so melancholy!

Change the subject!

Liu Mang decisively diverted away from this embarrassing topic: "Senior sister, how did you know that I was selected as an All-Star?" ”

"On the news on TV just now, Carter and O'Neal withdrew from this All-Star, what are you and the Timberwolves' big handsome guy called, it seems to be Szzerbiak, the Spaniard's name is really awkward."

"Oh, I'm still a handsome guy, am I handsome with your younger brother." Liu Mang was a little surprised.

"Yes, yes, Ace, you are the most handsome!" Alexia's tone was a little helpless.

"By the way, senior sister," Liu Mang thought of one thing: "I have a ticket for All-Star Weekend, do you have time to go to Philadelphia with me?" ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and Alexia asked faintly, "Ace, is this an invitation for me to go on a date?" ”

Not to mention that it's okay, as soon as Liu Mang said it, he suddenly became nervous inexplicably: "Ah, this, Dinah and Levia are also going." ”

After saying this, Liu Mang wanted to slap himself!

"Oh......"

Sure enough, there was obviously a little loss on the other end of the phone, but Liu Mang regretted that he had become stupid again at this time.

"Senior sister, are you going with you?"

"Of course I want to go! I've always wanted to go, but the tickets are so expensive, and of course I'll go if someone gives me a ticket! Let's see, our school has a 4-week break from Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and mid-March exams, so let's relax before the exams! ”

After continuing to talk for a few words, it seemed that Alexia's side suddenly became less interested, and there was not much to talk about.

Liu Mang hung up the phone and began to hurt, his own broken mouth......

……

……

Celestial.

Imperial capital.

Headquarters of an association.

The office of the director of an association.

It's ten o'clock in the evening in Atlanta, and it's just nine o'clock in the morning in the imperial capital.

"Director Cheng, the NBA All-Star list is all out, and that person is also selected." Zhang Haifeng, deputy director of an association, who looks like a monkey, said with an anxious face.

"I know, I just watched the news." Cheng Lanxin was also a little anxious.

There is a person who is out of control!

Moreover, this person's strength is completely beyond imagination, and it is not said that it can be controlled by the guidance of domestic public opinion.

He has gained a firm foothold in the NBA, and is also valued by the NBA president, who forcibly wants to enter the domestic market.

According to Cheng Lanxin's thoughts, they definitely want to stop it and control it in their hands, and they don't want this person to build up his reputation in China before they control it, which will be more difficult to control, so they have been curbing the domestic sports media, blocking all news related to this person, and not reporting it in China, even more than the disobedient Ma Jian and Wang Zhizhi used more methods.

But this time it was clearly beyond expectations!

Throughout All-Star Weekend, it's a name everywhere!

With power, there is desire, and if there is an accident, you want to strangle and avoid more people and things beyond your control, which is an ultra-left idea that those in power are prone to commit.

"How's it going on with the media?" Cheng Lanxin asked.

"I can't control it, I can't report the usual news, but the All-Star Game is such a big thing as it must be announced, and the list has been hotly discussed on the Internet, many people are asking who this name is like a Chinese player, and some people who have come back from the United States have told the answer, and many people who originally knew the news have begun to promote him." Zhang Haifeng said a little helplessly.

"The Internet is such a disgusting thing." Cheng Lanxin snorted coldly, this kind of official who has no real power in other places except basketball, what he is most afraid of is information disclosure, and this is what they can do, and the emergence of the Internet is to maximize information disclosure.

"Director, is it the same as dealing with Wang Zhizhi?" Zhang Haifeng suggested.

"No, Wang Zhizhi's matter has already been said by many people that we have delayed his development," Cheng Lanxin vetoed this idiot-like suggestion, "Absorb him into the Blue Association, the players of our country should repay the country." ”

The country comes first, and when it comes to the country, it is the first to be invincible!

The magic weapon of the national team is the biggest reliance of a certain association!

……

……

Liu Mang was selected for the All-Star Game, and after this matter was confirmed, the domestic information blockade about Liu Mang was finally broken!

Domestic fans saw that there was actually a Chinese player in this NBA All-Star! And in order to tell the people of the Celestial Empire more directly, a Chinese player has been selected as an All-Star, and the name is not Ace Liu, but directly uses Liu Mang's pinyin.

It's like dropping a nuclear bomb on the domestic basketball fan base!

There are actually Chinese players who have been selected as All-Stars in the NBA!

Wang Zhizhi is amazing, isn't it? Battle is awesome, isn't it? One of the best centers in the country! Probably except for Yao Ming, no one is stronger than these two centers!

But are they in the NBA? They are all marginal people, and they can't even play for a long time!

The Tiger Fight China Basketball Forum, which was established on January 1, 2002, was established in just one month, relying on only doing basketball news as a special content, not mixing football and table tennis together, attracting countless basketball fans to join, and almost overnight became the most popular basketball website in China.

Recently, it was all about All-Star Weekend, and today's headline has become "Chinese player enters NBA All-Star for the first time".

As soon as the headlines came out, there were thousands of replies.

"Who is this! Quietly becoming an all-star? Fake news! And to put the satellite set? ”

"That's right, this news is so fake, and we are not North Korea, and we are still here? North Korea also says that they are second in the world in football and we are number one in the world. ”

"Silent? The hooligans are already on fire in the United States, only there is no news of him in China, you know from a certain association. ”

"Upstairs, is your name mistyped?"

"Upstairs, upstairs upstairs, no mistake, this damn guy is a hooligan, and his fan group in the United States is called the Rogue League."

"You're an Iverson fan upstairs, right?"

"No, he's supposed to be a Kobe fan."

"No, he's supposed to be a Francis fan."

“……”

The style of painting building a building is a little wrong.,Sure enough, the style of painting that Chinese people love to go astray from the Internet has just come out.。

Whether it is believed, questioned, refuted, blown, or scolded, in short, Liu Mang became popular in China all of a sudden!

Those media who were previously instructed by a certain power bureau to block the news were suddenly lifted, and they reported on Liu Mang all over the world, and it was the kind of bombing report that had been held back for half a year, and Liu Mang became completely popular all of a sudden!

Only then did people know that there was actually a Chinese player who created such a legendary counterattack in the NBA in just half a year, from a water cooler administrator who entered the NBA in college and almost lost the selection, step by step to become the best rookie and the best sixth man favorite, and then was selected from the team bench to the All-Star bench!

Of course, there are also doubts and criticisms in this, what does not represent the country to participate in international college basketball competitions, etc., but more people have doubts about a certain association, why do they control the source of basketball news, but turn a blind eye to such a player?

More people think of being bitten to death by a certain association and not letting go, delaying the golden time of the 19-year-old basketball growth period at the time and not letting him go to the United States to play NCAA, and then the 21-year-old was roughly selected by the NBA, from a center player, 21 years old is still in the growth period, but a certain association still bites and does not let go, stunned for two years, and boiled roughly into a 23-year-old "mature body" before letting him go to the NBA, who has already passed the best years of growth to go to the NBA and can only be an instant combat force, There's no room for cultivation anymore.

Looking at the same Mavericks, who was also spotted by American scouts at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Nowitzki, who was also selected by the NBA in 1998 at the age of 20, honed for two years and quickly became a first-line power forward in the league, but Wang Zhizhi could only be reduced to the point of guarding the water cooler, which had great doubts about a certain association.

Of course, there are also "guardian factions", the NBA season usually starts around September 20th, the training camp starts in early October, and the preseason starts from October 7th to 9th, and the Asian Championships starts in October, and there is a saying that you can't play for your country if you play in the NBA, and there are still many people who support it this year.

It is easy to quarrel in forums anywhere, and two people with opposing ideas have stirred up Liu Mang's popularity even higher!

Finally, a certain association said that he was no longer ignoring Liu Mang.

Zhang Haifeng, deputy director of the publicity department of an association, said in an interview with the news media: "We have been following Liu Mang's performance in the NBA and are happy that he has been selected as an All-Star, which is the pride of our Chinese, and we eagerly hope that he can join the National Basketball Association, become a member of the registered player, and play for the country in the future." ”
