646. Broke All-Star all-time vote record
Liu Mang and Dina watched the video of the Rockets' game while discussing what their chances of winning the scoring title were.
In the recent period of continuous soaring points, Liu Mang's rogue value has risen rapidly, with an average of tens of thousands of points per day or even breaking 100,000 points has been skyrocketing, and when encountering the situation of beating Maddie, he can directly improve hundreds of thousands of points at a time, and the rogue value has broken through the 40 million mark and is heading towards the 50 million mark.
After this season, Liu Mang feels that it is possible to break through more than 100 million!
Therefore, Liu Mang knew that his heroic words had to be completed, and he maintained his image of doing what he said, so that his fame became bigger and louder!
And this next game is another good opportunity to increase the superstar value.
After back-to-back games against the Raptors and Bulls, the Hawks have a three-day break, with five games left in the month, and the next game is against the Rockets!
Rasheed Wallace still has a suspension, and the Hawks' most difficult game is just around the corner, hosting the Houston Rockets!
This match is bound to attract huge attention in China, with Liu Mang and Yao Ming meeting for the last time this season...... It's not that Liu Mang looks down on Yao Ming, although the domestic media and TV stations are roaring that Yao Ming's rockets are also in the championship ranks, just like Yao Mai has never entered the top four in the West in the future, but still roars to win the championship, but the domestic propaganda is completely to play this game as the last game of the season.
The game between the Hawks and the Rockets is scheduled for January 22, that is, January 23, Beijing time, which happens to be the first day of the Lunar New Year in China!
The alliance really values the Chinese market, and deliberately arranged the second Chinese derby on the first day of the new year, and may also study the habits of the Chinese Spring Festival, not going out on the first day of the new year, and watching TV at home collectively.
In the competition on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Mang wants to win! Be sure to win! Yao Buren's black-bellied and honest face!
Originally, he had a great advantage in playing the Rockets, but Yao Ming has become more and more adaptable to the increased weight this year, and after the last time he was exposed to physical problems by the Hawks, all the teams played him for this point, but let Yao Ming, who had not really become a super giant center, begin to adapt to this in advance and slowly make adjustments.
And although Van Gundy Jr. likes to make Yao Ming gain weight, but as the season deepens, he found that the opponent is very serious about Yao Ming's physical fitness, and began to reduce Yao Ming's playing time a lot, improving Yao Ming's efficiency on the court, and in the 9 games of the Rockets after 2004, Yao Ming played an average of 30 minutes per game, got 22.4 points, 8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks, and there was a little bit of performance that could wrestle with O'Neal at the end of his peak.
Against the upcoming Rockets, the combination of Francis and Yao Ming, especially against Yao Ming, does become a bit difficult to play with Rasheed Wallace still needs a one-game suspension.
With the improvement of Yao Ming's strength, the Rockets gradually have the feeling of the Houston Flag Wood team in the future, who looks hopeful, and whoever encounters them has a headache, especially those teams in the first half of the Western Conference playoffs, seeing that O'Neal is going to get old, and there is another Yao Ming, thanks to the Rockets boss picking the door, reluctant to spend money to get a big forward with at least good ability, just thinking about picking up cheap, and using five or six million contracts to get Kevin Cato and Morris Taylor, two players who played in the contract year that year, didn't think about spending two or three million more to dig up a real first-class or quasi-first-class power forward, Yao Ming was a little easier to deal with.
But even so, Yao Ming, a big center who single-handedly practiced O'Neal and Duncan's defense, still gave a headache to teams that might become playoff opponents with the Rockets.
The same is true for the Eagles.
It is true that the Hawks have an advantage even if Rasheed Wallace is not there, and the Rockets are just a second-rate powerhouse, but Yao Ming's point is enough to make the opponent uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the Hawks have three days off, and the Rockets have begun to tighten up the schedule, for the students on the domestic side of the winter vacation have to send a game the next day, the Rockets have 17 games in January, not even a two-day break in the whole month, Yao Ming has to wait until the Rockets 20th game is finished, the 21st of American time is the 22nd of domestic time Chinese New Year's Eve can come to Atlanta.
Compared with Liu Mang, Yao Ming is more praised in China, after all, Yao Ming listens more to the country, and the second is that Yao Ming is invincible step by step from the country, and he has long been very popular in China, and he is his own son, so of course he is more praised.
Therefore, the domestic side has a higher demand for live streaming the Rockets' games during the winter break, and the league has specially arranged a very tight schedule for the Rockets in January.
Liu Mang has made an appointment with Yao Ming to celebrate the New Year together on the 22nd, but in the matter of killing the little giant in the game, Liu Mang is not ready to give Yao Ming face on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and he is resting at home today, Liu Mang got up in the morning and practiced two sets of shots, and then began to study Yao Ming to see what level Yao Ming is now.
Watching Yao Ming in the video become more and more adaptable to the current style of play after gaining weight, and more often use his threat under the basket to create opportunities for his teammates, and began to learn to make himself a threat point instead of chiseling the inside line when he went up as he originally remembered, which made Liu Mang feel happy and a little headache at the same time.
It seems that he exposed Yao Ming's weaknesses in advance, gave Yao Ming some advice, and created a monster!
Yao Ming is obviously smarter than he played in the original history, and he began to get smarter early, learning new ways of playing early, although based on talent problems such as bounce and speed, Yao Ming may not have the strongest dominance in history like the peak O'Neal, but it is possible to become the dominant center in NBA history second only to O'Neal and Chamberlain!
Of course, the premise is not to get injured, but Yao Ming is gradually gaining weight this time, not eating fat in one go, and the national team is forced to loosen up and allow Yao Ming not to participate in competitions outside the world-class competition, although Yao Ming himself still has to play the Asian Games and Asian Championships, but without those cups and warm-up games, the probability of Yao Ming being seriously injured is also greatly reduced, as long as he does not meet Adelman, it is really possible to avoid a major injury and become a real dominant center!
To make such an opponent, Liu Mang was also a little injured.
But it's also a little excited, taking advantage of the fact that the little giant has not yet reached its peak, and detain him!
Liu Mang looked at the Avengers series of missions in the system panel: Yao Ming's ambition, this little giant, wants to "murder" the master all day long, him!
Kill him while he's not growing up!
After watching Yao Ming's game video clip for a while, Liu Mang was not very interested.
Yao Ming will try to change his style of play almost every few games, it is possible that this game will shoot more outside shots, and the next game will not work, and he will be closer to the basket, and he is still looking for his future development direction, at this time, Yao Ming's video has little reference value, and it is not as good as Liu Mang's own understanding of Yao Ming to focus on defense, if it is to formulate defense according to Yao Ming's game this season, Liu Mang will figure it out by himself, obviously not as useful as Mike Woodson, a professional.
"Uncle, don't you study the Great Wall of China?" Dinah is a basketball fan, although her first favorite star is Liu Mang, but like other basketball fans, she also likes other players, especially centers, such as Yao Ming and O'Neal, who are very popular in the United States.
"Almost, I'm going to practice shooting, Dinah, do you want to go with me?" Liu Mang stood up and moved his body.
"Dinah won't go, it's so cold outside, uncle, you go by yourself!"
Seeing the little Lori slumped on the sofa playing with the computer, looking like a lazy kitten, Liu Mang forcibly pulled Dina up and hugged her and walked out of the door: "What are the children afraid of cold, let's go together!" It's so lonely for your uncle and I to practice alone, little Jimmy is still studying, and it's really lonely to have no one to play with. ”
"Don't go, don't go! Dinah doesn't go, Dinah isn't a child anymore! Dinah is nine years old......"
"Then don't be sleepless and ask me to tell you stories!"
"Ah...... Uncle, Dinah is still a child! You can't sleep without telling a story! ”
“……”
Liu Mang also felt cold outside! Therefore, it is better for one person to suffer than for two people to suffer together! Regardless of the little Lori's resistance, she forcibly walked away, and the little Lori wanted to resist, but Liu Mang easily carried the struggling little Lori to the door.
Little Lori forcibly struggled, but found that she couldn't struggle at all, so she could only be taken away by Liu Mang in resignation, but there was one more thing before taking it away: "Uncle, wait, Dinah look at the all-star voting results!" ”
Hearing this, Liu Mang also felt very interested, and looked at the latest all-star voting results with Dinah, that is, the number of all-star votes as of the 16th.
Today's children, especially American children, can be very proficient in using computers at a few years old, after all, in places like the United States, household electronics are too cheap for Americans, and an alien notebook is only two or three thousand US dollars, and ordinary computers are usually several hundred US dollars.
Dinah opened the homepage of the NBA's official website, and the most conspicuous place on the left was the voting results of the second phase of this year's All-Star Voting announced at 9 o'clock this morning.
The name at the top of the all-star vote list is Liu Mang's name!
"Wow wow wow wow ...... Uncle! You're almost a million more votes than the second place! Dinah cheered excitedly, as if it was she who won the vote, more excited than Liu Mang.
2.61 million votes!
Seeing this number of votes, Liu Mang was shocked!
He didn't expect that in the 11 days in January, when fans paid the lowest attention, more than 1 million votes were raised!
What an exaggeration!
This is only the second stage, and it has already broken the NBA's all-time vote record!
Liu Mang opened several forums, and sure enough, the entire NBA fan circle was discussing his votes!
The previous All-Star vote record of 2.45 million votes set by Jordan during the 1997 All-Star Weekend was gone as of yesterday!
Perhaps a large part of this is due to the fact that online voting is now available, which cannot be compared with Jordan's 2.45 million votes with purely paper votes, and Jordan was the only player in NBA history to get more than 2 million votes before the NBA fully opened Internet voting this season.
Looking at the remarks of many people in the forum are also using the idea that you can vote online to deny yourself, and also use the votes of Chinese to deny, Liu Mang also understands this, but there are also opinions that Liu Mang's average performance of 35+ per game in the past month is also an important reason why Liu Mang got such a high number of votes, all stars can get votes online, but why Garnett only 1.66 million votes? With the support of Chinese fans, why is Yao Ming also a Chinese player, but only 1.55 million votes?
Whether it is an online topic or an offline topic, wherever there are people, there is controversy, and Liu Mang can only directly contact the comments on the Internet......
For those who deny themselves and those who recognize themselves, they are actually equal!
This made Liu Mang a little flattered! You must know that when he was selected as an All-Star last year, there was a lot of scolding from the United States, saying that he, like Yao Ming, was a Chinese player and touched the light of China's 1.3 billion people.
Of course, Liu Mang also recognizes this, although there are many people in China who hack him, the NBA has also swiped out a lot of domestic votes, such as multiple people voting in the same Internet café, only one is counted, after all, this year, computers are still considered "luxury" in China, most people do not have computers at home, and most rich people do not buy computers, one is that the domestic Internet awareness is not strong enough, and the other is that most people in China feel that computers are flood beasts, because games such as legends are too popular now, and many people have game addiction.
Therefore, most fans in China go to Internet cafes to vote online, and then most of the votes are invalidated.
But even so, Liu Mang knows very well that he must have a lot of votes supported by the Chinese people, for which Liu Mang is very grateful.
And half of the fans in the United States actually recognized Liu Mang's votes, Liu Mang sighed, sure enough, how many fans, in the growth period and peak of the player, are to use the game performance to speak, Kobe and James can still have so many fans when they are old, and they also rely on the accumulation of anti-sky performance when they were young.
Liu Mang really felt this, although he didn't mind the issue of popularity, but he could make people remember him, why not?
This makes Liu Mang interested in data, honor, and championship...... There is a deeper longing, even desire!
Unconsciously, Liu Mang himself may not realize that as he plays in the NBA for longer and longer, his desire to become "great" has become deeper and more persistent.
Those "hatred" and hostility, fundamentally speaking, are Liu Mang's increasing desire to prove himself!
Training! Change strong!
Liu Mang picked up the little Lori again and went to train!
"Ah...... Uncle, aren't we going to celebrate? "Little Lori thought that she could break the record by relying on the All-Star vote to be exempted from this training.
"Celebrate with training!"
"Don't, Mom, Teacher, help!"
