Liu Mang's face lying on the ground read: I knew I was going to score this ball when I threw it, and the western team's desire to win collapsed.

Especially Kobe Bryant, who has always been directly opposite Liu Mang, he knows that Liu Mang's confident belief that this ball will be able to be thrown has not changed from the beginning! That arrogant expression didn't change at all!

Where the hell does the confidence come from! No way!

Kobe Bryant went crazy, the West attacked again, Kobe Bryant's angry three-point shot completely buried the possibility of the West trying to catch up with the score, with Mutombo on the inside, the second offensive rebound East did not give the West a chance.

With Rahim's close-range singles two-point hit, the score became 157-146, an 11-point difference! With 1 minute left, the Eastern victory is decided!

Liu Mang's miraculous three-point shot completely shattered the West's thoughts about this game.

As the referee's whistle blew at the end of the game, the East won 160-153, a 9-0 scoring shockwave at the critical moment to crush the West in one fell swoop, and maintained the lead until the end of the game!

……

"I'm thankful to my teammates, wow, that's a bit corny, but without their help and tolerance, I'm a rookie player and wouldn't have had so many shots, so thank them so much, I'm going to have a drink tonight...... But I can't go to the nightclub, so I'll probably have to pay for it. And thank you to my coach, I wouldn't have been able to play like this tonight without him, and to the three very important people who came to Philadelphia with me......"

After Liu Mang received the All-Star MVP trophy from David Stern, he said excitedly and said thank you.

The main thing is that all the players on the side that won the All-Star Game have a $50,000 bonus, and they don't have to donate it.

is different from the original 2002 Kobe Bryant who booed after winning the MVP, this time everyone can see that Iverson is promoting this junior, this time the All-Star is making a wedding dress for Liu Mang in the entire East, and all the fans who stayed to watch the award after the game are cheering for Liu Mang!

Of course, the cheers also included a certain little Lori, and she heard the description of a very important person......

……

An unnamed Pennsylvania high school student who played the most in state history with the No. 8 player went straight back to the locker room after the game and left the arena where he was actually the most dreamy of playing when he blocked the draft, at that time, this arena had just been repaired, and he once imagined that he was the hero of the city, and he participated in the draft ahead of schedule that year, and it had a lot to do with the 76ers getting the top pick.

He walked for an hour to the park he was most familiar with when he returned to Philadelphia in '92, and it was still the same place, and the people who came were still the same, but the baskets were old and the people had grown up.

As before, if you lose the game, you will find a place by yourself and shoot silently......

……

……

……

……

Philadelphia All-Star Weekend has come to an end!

For the official executives of the NBA, looking at the ratings of this All-Star Game breaking 3 in China, it is the same as the island people who love to celebrate everything collectively, just like a group of people gathered around Long Live Long Live.

For most of the players participating in the East Army, it is just a bonus of 25,000 US dollars more than losing, and for these all-star players, it is not too much money, which is also the key reason why many players do not work.

As for Duncan, he left silently after losing, and no one even noticed that this person was missing, which is completely different from Kobe Bryant's disappearance in the post-game interview that caused a lot of dissatisfaction among reporters.

Garnett, who used to be a boxing journalist, yelled and got out of the way and went to the shower himself.

There are also Peyton and Francis who are desperate and don't know how to deal with that increasingly powerful rookie.

There are also Iverson and Maddie, Raheem, and Jason Terry who are really happy for Liu Mang.

But most of it is casual, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, including Kidd, who discussed tactics with Liu Mang, in fact, he has played enough, whether he can win or not at critical moments, it doesn't make much difference to him, he is just interested in Liu Mang's novel ideas, and found those tactics, most of which are not of much use for club games, and at least four All-Star level players can play tactics, and he has no interest in the final quarter.

After the regular interview after the game, Iverson took the other players of the East Army except Liu Mang to the nightclub to play, Liu Mang made him angry and funny when he accepted the award, but he loved to entertain, so he invited the guest in the name of Liu Mang by the way.

Of course, the consensus of the All-Star players, what they got from Maddie, is that they can't go out with Liu Mang, otherwise they can only drink coffee or milk.

……

The east doesn't take Liu Mang to play with him, and the west hates Liu Mang to death.

Liu Mang, who was left behind, was not idle, and as soon as the ice was finished, the official NBA staff came to ask him to change his clothes for an exclusive interview.

Generally speaking, the MVP winners of the All-Star Weekend are interviewed by one of the three major TV stations, but this time it is different, the NBA officially authorized it to the Imperial Sports Channel!

Liu Mang can get the MVP of the All-Star Game, it is no longer a surprise to the NBA executives, it is almost exciting to twitch, from the 1994 All-Star Weekend, after the first time China began to accept the live broadcast signal of ABC TV in the United States and began to broadcast NBA games simultaneously, although the NBA has played a good reputation in China, especially Jordan, Penny, Iverson, Kobe, O'Neal These stars are very popular in China.

But on the whole, it is still tepid, jerseys can't be sold, shoes can't be sold, the game ratings are average, and occasionally the ratings can break one percent, and the NBA headquarters thought that spring was coming, but the result was that the dragon boat race could not be carried out because of heavy rain, and the court sports station was in a good mood and gave them a chance to broadcast live on the weekend.

Usually all-stars, and it happens to be the Spring Festival in China, everyone who should play is going to play, the ratings have been average, and the ratings of the finals can generally break 1, but sometimes it is good to meet the World Cup, and it is yellow again......

Finally, this time, with a super high ratings, conservative statistics have as many as at least 30 million domestic fans watching this All-Star Game, which is a good start!

NBA executives believe that with Yao Ming also entering the NBA, the development of the NBA in the Chinese market will have explosive growth!

As for Liu Mang, they are even more reluctant to give up, no one knows how Yao Ming will adapt to the NBA, but Liu Mang is obviously completely adapted, and he plays extremely well.

Therefore, for the first time in Imperial Court Sports, he wanted an interview with an All-Star MVP and made a request to the NBA official, and Stern agreed without hesitation.

Visit as you please, and visit as you like.

Liu Mang followed the staff to the office where the 76ers usually use a very formal interview in the Wachovia Center.

I met a group of old acquaintances in my memory that I met two days ago, of course, I knew him on TV, he knew people, but people didn't know him.

"Haha, Ace, congratulations, hey, it's amazing......" Director Zhang took a bite of Beijing films, and greeted Liu Mang very warmly.

Liu Mang is also happy! The system prompts that I haven't had time to look at it yet, but I don't have to think about it, I'm sure all kinds of rewards have exploded.

"Haha, Director Zhang, accept your auspicious words, the MVP is here!" Liu Mang went up and hugged Director Zhang.

"Congratulations, congratulations, ......"

There was also Su Qun, and Liu Mang also hugged him.

"Ace, don't say much, let's probably see each other diligently in the future, it's not too early today, let's make a long story short and enter the interview session?" Coach Zhang was also a professional player at the beginning, and he knew that the players were still in this kind of fierce game after the game, and the most annoying thing after the game was the interview, especially the one with the best performance, and it must also be the most tired one, and he was very understanding and intimate to the point.

"Haha, as long as Coach Zhang doesn't get tired, we can talk slowly." Liu Mang is still very polite, he wants to hurry up and join Dinah and them, and he is probably impatient to wait in the lounge, but he is not proud of the most important way to enter the domestic market, the only media in the domestic sports media that dares to compete with a certain association at this stage - the Imperial Court Sports Channel.

Director Zhang is very satisfied with Liu Mang's humble attitude, for a young rookie who has just been in the limelight and won the All-Star MVP, he can have such humility instead of arrogance, as Director Zhang, who has also become famous and high-spirited at a young age, I really think it is very rare.

Liu Mang is just because he knows what he wants, and he understands that getting an All-Star MVP at this stage may make him famous, but it is not necessarily all good things, for example, no opponent will despise him in the future, and he will be scared to kill him, and his real strength, even if it triggers the bench bandits, is the level of a sixth man who averages more than ten points per game.

Liu Mang is looking forward to relying on the harvest of this All-Star Weekend to further his strength and strive to complete the double awards of best rookie and best sixth man this season.

Rookie of the Year in particular, this is a reward that a player only gets once in his life, and if he fails, he will never get it again.

Seeing Liu Mang's still very immature face, Director Zhang felt that such a good seedling had to be well maintained, but don't fall into the tragic experience of Ma Jian and Wang Zhizhi, especially Wang Zhizhi, who is also the second center, Director Zhang has always felt regretful that Wang Zhizhi failed to achieve higher achievements, and he has always felt regretful, Director Zhang had no way when he was young, during the Cold War, and later thawed, he retired.

"Alright, Ace, let's start our interview, first of all, congratulations on your victory in all the All-Star games! Say hello to the domestic fans first, don't worry, it's not a live broadcast, haha, can you think about what you have to say to the domestic fans? Director Zhang's questions were also as gentle as possible, and he tried to ask questions in a direction that was easier for Liu Mang to answer and more beneficial to Liu Mang.

This question, Liu Mang pondered for a while, let's be normal and official, don't be too arrogant and don't be too low-voiced, it's good if someone likes him, and if someone hates him, you can't let everyone like it.

Liu Mang sorted out his clothes and said to the camera: "I am very happy to win this game today, I am very grateful to all the fans and friends who watched this game, I will work harder in future games, strive for better performance, and will not give my identity - Chinese identity shame!" ”

This thank you speech was a bit unexpected by Director Zhang and Su Qun, and they both applauded.

Originally, Director Zhang felt that even if Liu Mang spoke Chinese very well, it would not be short to come to the United States, and he had been playing with Americans, so there should be some arrogance, such as Liu Mang's very open hug when he met, domestic players generally do not do this.

I didn't expect to be so restrained in answering questions, especially the last sentence will not embarrass the Chinese people, which speaks to the hearts of the two basketball seniors who have been working hard for domestic basketball.

"Ace, you haven't disgraced our country now, is this the All-Star MVP trophy? Let's show the fans. Director Zhang pointed to the lower round trophy that Liu Mang had just brought in and placed on the coffee table.

Only then did Liu Mang know why the staff asked him to bring the MVP trophy just now, it turned out to be for this.

"Absolutely." Liu Mang picked up the trophy that read Ace Liu, the MVP of the 2002 Philadelphia All-Star Game, in English and pointed it at the camera.

Ace Liu, this is the last name engraved before the award is presented after the competition.

A little show of the trophy, and the interview continued.

"You've set a record in the NBA, you're the only player in history to win the rookie game MVP, the main game MVP and the three-point title, and you're the only player to win all three awards in the same year, and if you can win the dunk title, it's an All-Star Weekend Grand Slam!" While recording, Director Zhang once again began to tout commercially, and it was one-sided.

"Slam Dunk King? Not...... I haven't decided whether to take it, but if I participate next year, I don't have to. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it, I believe that domestic fans are also looking forward to you participating in the slam dunk contest, are you going to make a declaration again to win the slam dunk king next year?" Director Zhang's impression of Liu Mang's dunk is only in the All-Star Game, and he still looks like he has a good style of play, but he doesn't know that this is not the case in the regular season......

Therefore, this time, Director Zhang's habitual commercial touting made Liu Mang a little embarrassed.

Reasonable teacher! I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously!

If you say that, don't I have to participate next year if I don't want to? It's embarrassing to get the lowest score in history, okay!

Liu Mang stubbornly said: "Then it depends on whether the situation is suitable or not, maybe the coaching staff will not let me participate in so many games during the All-Star Weekend next year, and I may participate when I have the opportunity." ”

"Well, next year, I will also come to the scene with Mr. Su to cheer you on!" Director Zhang really took it seriously......

Next is to give some New Year's greetings to domestic fans, although it is a little late, but it is still during the Spring Festival, and there is nothing wrong with it.

There is no way to drag the interview until this time, the imperial court sports station has been under the control of a certain association before, and finally the NBA forcibly pushed Liu Mang into the sight of domestic fans, and the leadership of the sports station found an opportunity to resist a certain association, so there is the current interview.

Compared with the fans, the imperial court sports station has known about Liu Mang for a long time, but it is suppressed and does not give publicity, and it is impossible to understand it, there are not many live broadcasts in the United States, and they can't find a place to understand it, so they can only watch things related to Liu Mang from news newspapers and other things bought from people who go to the United States on business trips.

As a result, what I saw was how arrogant Liu Mang was, and how he grudged with various superstars, of course, it was all news from outside Georgia.

This is also the reason why Director Zhang and Su Qun were so surprised by Liu Mang's humble attitude.

Director Zhang is still very caring, and after filming the material of the ten-minute interview, he decisively ended the interview, so that Liu Mang could go back, but he heard that Liu Mang came to Philadelphia with two beautiful women.

When Director Zhang first saw this gossip news, he couldn't help but sigh that young people are good and win glory for the country!

……

……

Coming out of the office of the interview, Liu Mang let out a long breath, finally, this time it was final, the All-Star Weekend was completely over!

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game before, Liu Mang really felt that all the pressure was cast!

Arriving at the lounge in the Wachovia Center, Dinah was already asleep in Levia's arms.

"It's over?" Levia asked, yawning, and handed Dinah into Liu Mang's arms.

On the other side, Alexia took Liu Mang's All-Star Game, and seemed to see Liu Mang holding the trophy casually for fear of breaking it.

"It's over, go back to the hotel and sleep, we'll go home tomorrow!" Liu Mang said excitedly that he could finally go home, and unconsciously became attached to Atlanta.
