"At one o'clock in the afternoon of December 31, 2006 Los Angeles time, the Eagles have arrived at the Los Angeles airport to prepare for the New Year's game at 11 a.m. Beijing time on January 2, and our reporters in front of us invited Zhang Weiping, who will broadcast the game live for us tomorrow, to analyze the focus of tomorrow's game for us and switch the picture to the front."

The news in China at 9 o'clock in the morning on January 1, Beijing time, has begun to build momentum for the game between the Hawks and the Lakers, even if the game starts for more than a day.

The screen of the Imperial Court Sports Station and the International Station switched to the corridor with classic photos of the Lakers' past celebrities.

Yu Jia and Zhang Weiping Zhang appeared on the TV screen, Yu Jia said passionately: "CCTV, outside CCTV, this is the Staples Center in Los Angeles, USA, just now we watched the shooting training of the Hawks and the Lakers, and briefly interviewed the stars of the two teams, both teams opened up team training this afternoon, but only did simple shooting training, and did not show skills and tactics, Director Zhang, you analyze for us, what is the expected situation for the two teams to play tomorrow?" ”

"The Lakers and the Hawks are one of the strongest teams in the East and West, and the Hawks needless to say, they were the best team in NBA history in the first two months of the season, 27-1, just ended their winning streak, but immediately won another game, and they are in good shape, and the Lakers are 23-10 and are currently on a six-game winning streak.

The Lakers are now in third place in the West for the time being, and the Hawks are first in the league.

Although the gap between the two teams' records is not small, I think in terms of strength, it is not as big as it seems, Ace and Maddy have to play five games less, and the schedule at the beginning is much easier, Da Yao and Kobe Bryant play harder, and it is normal for the opening record to be not as good as the Hawks.

Of course, the Hawks are more favored in this game, the Hawks have won at the Staples Center for four consecutive years, and in the past four seasons, the Hawks have played the Lakers 7-1 in the regular season and 4-1 in the Finals, which has a great record advantage.

Ace is close to averaging 10.7 assists per game this year, and there are stars such as Maddy, Brown, and Tianzun, and the Hawks have a better lineup than the Lakers.

However, the Lakers' interior combination of Odom and Yao Ming came in and played very well, and Kobe Bryant is also the current league scoring champion, and it is difficult to say who wins and who loses between the two teams. ”

After listening to this, Yu Jia quipped: "Then Director Zhang, do you hope that team can win?" ”

"Haha, I hope the Chinese win!" Director Zhang was not fooled this time.

Yu Jia and Director Zhang both laughed, and the scene cut back to the studio to continue the promotion, and began to analyze the two teams in terms of some of the best battles between the two teams this season.

……

Liu Mang's father was watching TV at Kobe's villa, watching Imperial Court International Television, which had been promoting the Hawks and Lakers since before the Christmas War.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the Hawks arrived at Beverly Hills, and after Bryant picked up Liu Mang's family to his villa, the two went to the Staples Center together, and both teams opened up training interviews this afternoon.

There was only technical training, and neither team exposed the skills and tactics of tomorrow's game.

The training ended at five o'clock, and after Liu Mang came to the villa lent to him by Kobe Bryant at six o'clock, he watched the sports news of the Imperial Court International Station with his father Liu Lijie.

Liu Mang looked at the latest version of the 70-inch large LCD TV that Kobe Bryant specially bought yesterday, so upset, this guy is showing off!

Liu Mang said to Levia, who was peeling fruit and making a fruit bowl next to him: "This TV is really good, Levia, let's buy one at home!" ”

"Buy, buy, buy, why do you love to compete with Ke so much? Where to put such a big TV, buy a big TV cabinet by the way. Levia said helplessly.

"He must have seen that our TV was small, so buy one to me off!" Liu Mang said indignantly.

Although compared with the ultra-thin LCD TVs in the future, the current LCD TVs are still quite thick, with a total thickness of three or four centimeters.

But it's much more than the 32-inch TV in Liu Mang's house!

It's not just doubled, Liu Mang's TV is less than a quarter of the size.

Liu Mang feels that Kobe Bryant is showing off that he is rich!

At this time, Kobe, who had just returned home about a kilometer away, sneezed......

"Okay, let's go take a bath, you have to go back to the hotel after eating, why don't you stay here?" Levia asked curiously.

"We have a team meeting at nine o'clock, it's too tight, and we have a game tomorrow." Liu Mang also felt very painful, but it was too troublesome to rush back after the meeting, so Liu Mang stayed in the hotel.

And Liu Mang finished playing the Lakers on the 1st, and on the 3rd and 4th, he wanted to continue to play the Hornets and Timberwolves back-to-back, the Pistons on the 6th, and the Cavaliers on the 8th, all of which were strong opponents, and they were all powerful opponents in five consecutive away games, 8 days and 5 games, the time was tight, and it was too troublesome to move the luggage around, so I stayed in the hotel.

"Ace, shall we wait until you finish your consecutive away games and then go back to Atalanta, or will we go back the day after tomorrow when you leave?" Levia asked.

"You guys stay a few more days, it's really okay to move back to our villa, Dinah is on vacation anyway." Liu Mang thinks it's not bad to let his parents change places to play.

Liu Mang has a villa in Los Angeles, but it is too far away from Beverly Hills, so he borrowed Kobe's villa, and Kobe was unhappy because of this, and he came to live in it because he had a house.

"Good ......"

……

The night before the game, Liu Mang, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi did not get together, and Yi Jianlian did not come to disturb them.

Wang Zhizhi is okay, he is the third child anyway, but for Liu Mang and Yao Ming, who are competing for the first person in China, this game is very important for both the team and the individual.

Let's start by setting up the atmosphere of opposition.

Liu Mang hangs out with Maddie in Beverly Hills after a team meeting at half past nine in the evening.

"Ace, you see, there are a lot of foreigners." Maddie shouted deliberately.

"Shut up!" Liu Mang pulled Maddie and ran away.

Running to a place where no one noticed them, Liu Mang said angrily: "Tracy, can't you have enough fun?" Do you want to be surrounded by a group of fans to take a group photo? ”

"That's pretty good! In addition to going to China to publicize, it was the first time I saw so many foreigners. Maddie laughed.

Foreigner? Liu Mang looked at Maddie, you are a foreigner, okay...... Wait, Liu Mang remembered that this was the United States, as if he was a foreigner.

Los Angeles has been full of Chinese people recently, especially since before Christmas, and now, the Lakers and Hawks game is coming, and the whole Los Angeles is like a Chinatown, and 70% of the rooms in several big hotels in Beverly Hills are booked by Chinese.

Now during the New Year's Day holiday, some children from rich families also come to Los Angeles to watch this game,......

Los Angeles was originally a big tourist city, because Yao Ming came here to play, more Chinese came to this city, and compared to Liu Mang with Atlanta's economic improvement, Yao Ming brought more income to Los Angeles.

Because of the different economic bases, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, although the proportion of economic improvement is not as large as that of Atlanta, but the total amount is larger.

This is the first real "Chinese Derby", and the enthusiasm of Chinese basketball fans can be imagined.

Now there are many football fields in China that have been filled in, made into an elderly activity square, and a basketball court has been built next to it, and the domestic basketball atmosphere is stronger than Liu Mang's original time and space, especially Liu Mang won two consecutive championships, and the NBA left non-English and Arabic numerals on the championship flag for the first time, and there are more and more domestic basketball infrastructure, and more children are involved in basketball.

After shopping for a while, I'm ready to go back to the hotel, rest early, and get up early tomorrow to prepare for the game.

On the way back, Liu Mang said to Maddie: "Tracy, you have to score more points in tomorrow's game, they will definitely guard me very strictly, I just scored 90 points on that court." ”

"I know, but what if they knew what we were thinking?" Maddie asked.

"It's still very attractive for me to score points." Liu Mang said with a smile.

"I see." Maddie feels too comfortable playing with Liu Mang, they are both smart people, and both of them can compete for the first place in both scoring and passing.

On the other side, Kobe Bryant discussed the details of tomorrow's game with Yao Ming at Yao Ming's house.

The strongest cores on both sides are very serious about tomorrow's game.

……

……

Liu Mang returned to the room and opened the system panel.

Preparation is required.

Liu Mang took a look at the star cards, the star cards of top stars and above, there are Bynum, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Kobe Bryant, and the star cards of the four people, and they are all peak star cards.

Kobe Bryant's Liu Mang was reluctant to use it in the regular season, and the full-court star card could not be wasted.

Ray Allen's star card, mainly to experience Ray Allen's shooting touch and shooting ability, Liu Mang is no longer weaker than Ray Allen.

Bynum's star card ...... Good chicken ribs.

Then the most useful star card is Ginobili's pinnacle star card for the 04-05 season!

If necessary, during the break or pause, you can also draw a lottery, although Liu Mang wants to make up a million superstar value this season to draw a lottery, but such a game, it doesn't matter if you use up a part.

Win!

Hat Yao Ming!

Thinking of the hat Yao Ming, Liu Mang thought of the Pistons' 04-05 season random star card.

Use it!

"System Boss, use the Pistons random star card!"

"Ding...... The host uses the Pistons random star card to randomly get the Pistons 2004-2005 season player random star card ......"

In front of Liu Mang's eyes, virtual stereoscopic images of Bosh, Hamilton, Billups, Ben Wallace and others appeared, which were constantly beating.

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host for earning the Ben Wallace Pinnacle Card. ”

The final image freezes on Ben-Wallace's virtual stereoscopic image!
