296. Attack, Basketball Mecca!
With the improvement of Liu Mang's ability, the system functions seem to be more and more comprehensive, and the tasks have also been optimized at the level.
However, it is still relatively simple and intuitive, with levels 1-5 and special missions.
Of the 12 sides of the task dice, the highest level 5 tasks can be drawn, and special tasks are still released by the system.
Playing the Knicks today, there are no level 5 tasks on the 12 faces of the dice, but there are no level 1 tasks, Liu Mang's understanding is that this is probably the positioning of the system for the Knicks to be a medium-level opponent, with a total of 5 level 2 tasks, 4 level 3 tasks and 3 level 4 tasks.
Liu Mang threw it casually and drew a level 3 task.
"Daily Mission: Shine Madison."
"Shine Madison: Madison Square Garden is the best stage for any basketball player to show off what they can do, and the host needs to be the brightest star in the game. Reward: 3000 Superstar Points. ”
Liu Mang didn't even want to complain.
I didn't draw any special cards, but there was one more task.
And this task ...... There are no clear instructions on how to do this!
What is the brightest star?
Got the highest score of the game?
It's a bit difficult, Raheem and Jason Terry are also excited about playing at Madison Square Garden, Liu Mang has been eating meat and drinking soup with his teammates for two or three games in a row, and it is impossible for him to continue to dominate the ball, and he doesn't have a good relationship with his teammates like this.
That is, it is not advisable to score from the brush.
And the loss to the Heat is a bit hurt, it's already 45-18, plus there are 19 games left in this game with the Knicks, so you want to get 60 wins...... Theoretically, yes.
As long as there is a theoretical possibility, the Eagles management, coaching staff, and players all want to fight, and whoever doesn't say it well, three points are destined, and seven points depend on hard work......
Of course, there are still 90 points that depend on individual ability.
Trying his best to get a better record is the goal of the Hawks, and Liu Mang doesn't want to affect the team's record because of his own task, not only because a better record can make his rookie season performance a more dazzling resume, but also because he is not such a selfish player.
"What are the penalties for failing a mission? And how are the rewards for this daily quest divided? ”
"If the task drawn by the task dice fails, the reward will be halved after the completion of the next daily task, and it will not be accumulated."
"Task dice level 1-4 tasks, the rewards are 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000 superstar value, and the level 5 task is the intermediate superstar value of the number of draws. Level 5 missions that can be drawn must be played against a top team or a star of the top tier or above. Note: The difficulty of each level of the task dice random task increases with the host's ability value, and when the critical point is reached, you can use the superstar value to upgrade the task reward. ”
Liu Mang understood, that is, if this task was not completed, he would only get half of the reward for completing the task next time, and if he didn't complete the task twice in a row, he could also get half of the reward for completing it for the third time, not that he owed it all if he didn't complete it several times in a row.
It makes sense.
Forget it, look at the 6000 superstar value left, and keep it for backup after possible injury.
In the past, if there was no achievement or task in each game, a game would be seven or eight hundred superstar points at most, but now with a task system, there may be a maximum of 5,000 superstar values in a game, and even an intermediate superstar value lottery, throwing out 40,000 superstar values has not had a substantial improvement in the strength of the next game, not to mention, it is very helpful for the future.
It's all like this, Liu Mang knows that he can only rely on his strength to speak!
However, Liu Mang is still very confident in playing the Knicks, and the previous miserable strength can make the Knicks' gentlemen jump to their feet, and Liu Mang is still very confident.
……
……
The Knicks host the Hawks!
On March 11th, there were no other favourites, and this match became the most watched one.
Can the Knicks get revenge on the Hawks at home?
After the Knicks played their last game, Alan Houston had already made a statement that he wanted that vile rookie to taste the madness of Madison Square Garden!
This game is not only valued by both teams, but even attracts the attention of the whole country.
The reason for this is that the Hawks temporarily lost their big center Ratlleaf, and their strength declined sharply, almost losing to the Jazz, who had no double evil, and even lost to the Heat.
And the Knicks have been performing very well at home, and in the case of the Knicks' home game, the two teams are considered to be evenly matched!
Liu Mang has always been a topic of conversation, his holiday with Alan Houston, it is rare to see this gentleman so angry that he swears after the game, Liu Mang is the only one of the young generation, as one of the most popular teams in the NBA, the Knicks have been talking about a lot even in the last years of the league, in Manhattan, New York, the Knicks have never lacked fans, and there are many more people who support the Knicks than the Hawks.
Probably because the Hawks are too hated this season, and their sudden rise has made fans of many teams red, and in terms of network support, the Knicks have completely blown up the Hawks.
For this situation, the Hawks players are very calm, no matter what the game, when it comes to the support rate, probably except for playing the Lakers, the public enemy, the Hawks don't even have room to struggle, Georgia, Atlanta There are too few people to fight people.
In the team meeting after lunch, the coaching staff focused on controlling the tempo.
Without Ratliffe, the Eagles' style of play hurts.
In the past, it was slow in the first half of the first quarter, and after Liu Mang came up, Ratliff went down to play fast, and in the second half of the second quarter, Ratliff came back, and the strongest lineup fell into position.
Now that there is such a big center missing, the Eagles are indeed at a loss.
There is really not much that the Hawks coaching staff can do about this, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, even Popovich, who later entered the god-level coaching level, can no longer guarantee the strength of the team when Duncan retires and Leonard is injured and cannot return.
The Hawks still need to stay up for three more games, plus the Knicks have to stay up for four games, Ratliff has returned to training, and the team doctor has given a safe playing time on March 20, just in time for the final 12 days of March and six games.
The Eagles were lucky, with only seven games in the first 19 days of March, and even if Ratliffe's recovery was delayed by another week than originally expected, the Eagles could get through the schedule.
Ratliff's health has also been good, and he did not retire until 2011, except for a year and a half with Iverson in Philadelphia, half of which was reimbursed for two consecutive seasons and was finally used to replace Mutombo, most of the time before the age of 32 was full attendance, and then he was only unable to become the main rotation because of the decline in strength.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang followed the team to the basketball Mecca, Madison Square Garden, and as soon as he arrived outside the venue, he was ignited by the enthusiasm of New York basketball fans!
Although, most, if not most, of the fans here are not here to support Liu Mang, and he has seen a lot of fans with their buses giving their middle fingers.
But!
It is this atmosphere of confrontation and the enthusiasm of basketball that excites the players the most!
Away! That's how it feels!
The place with the heaviest basketball atmosphere in the United States is undoubtedly New York State, of which New York City is definitely number one!
Rock Park, a mecca for streetball players, is located in New York, where both professional and amateur basketball players have a good living environment and are extremely popular.
When he arrived at the stadium, Liu Mang felt a different feeling from playing other away games.
