Following Raheem and Jason Terry, the group of five entered Madison Square Garden, and the staff who had been waiting for the Hawks to come came up.

"Haha, Sharif, I haven't seen you in years, how are you doing?" A huge, dark, fat middle-aged man greeted him.

Why is it said to be a huge middle-aged man, because his size is even more exaggerated than O'Neill, estimated to be two meters two! He looks like a ball more than O'Neal.

"Thanks to you, Alvin, we've been doing well lately, and we're going to win the championship this year." Raheem went up and hugged him warmly.

Listening to Rahim's words, Liu Mang felt that the personality of the boss of the team had changed too much in the past two years, and he usually stayed together every day, without intuitive feelings or specific feelings.

But now when talking to someone outside the team, Liu Mang felt the difference in Rahim.

"This is my coach when I played at Joseph Wheeler High School, Alvin Downey, who was selected as the head coach of the McDonald's High School All-Star West Force this year." Raheem first introduced Liu Mang to the giant in front of them, and then introduced Liu Mang and others to Coach Donnie: "Erwin, this is Ace, Jason, Carlos, Tyshawn, ......"

"Oh, Sharif, they're all big stars, you don't need to introduce me to know them!" Alvin Downey laughed.

They all shook hands with Alvin Downey, Liu Mang looked at Alvin Downey's exaggerated size, it was simple, he was actually a coach!

With such a big coach, the players of the opposing team don't dare to fight when they play!

After a pleasant exchange, Alvin Downey led the Eagles to the locker room of the Western team, and on the way, Liu Mang learned that Raheem had been invited to be the opening guest of the high school star game that gathered 18 of the best high school students in the United States.

Liu Mang feels that he is underestimating Americans' love of sports, especially for the best of amateur athletes.

It may be like peripheral products, jerseys or something, these things of college teams can't be sold except for students to buy, but the tickets for their games and the live broadcast of the games for a fee are sold very well.

The main reason is because...... The game will always be very intense, because although the level of high school and college is high, but the overall situation is like that, everyone's strength is about the same, mainly depends on the team's tactical discipline, etc., high school is relatively good, a talented high school student, such as Mayo, Kobe, James, Kwame Brown, has a player like them to win the championship will be very big.

But colleges, mainly teams at the same level of the league, will not have as much disparity in strength as the two teams in professional games, and even the NBA's top pick cannot change the championship by one person's ability.

That's why college games are always full of suspense, so they will be so popular with fans, and the ratings and tickets will sell so well.

From 1978 to the present, more than 20 McDonald's High School All-Star Tournaments, the 18 players in it are likely to be stars from major NCAA schools in the future, and even directly enter the NBA, so they will attract so much attention and invite Raheem, who came to play away, to be a guest.

Raheem said that they had just come here to play, and the coach of the Western team, who was also his high school coach, invited him to be a guest at the event.

Obviously, in this kind of event, Rahim is more popular and loved by the players than Liu Mang and Jason Terry, and Liu Mang and others just follow to watch the excitement.

When they arrived in the locker room of the Western team, everyone gathered around Rahim to ask for autographs, and some people found reporters in the stadium to help them take group photos.

Boozer and Barnes watched the young players with great interest, and in two years' time, or even next season, some of them would be their opponents.

"Jason, what did you say Sharif came to us for?"

"Well, you don't know him yet? It's rare for him to have such a hand in front of us, and he will definitely bring us to show off. ”

"What a shame! Rely on your age! ”

"Ace, you're so right......"

And Liu Mang and Jason Terry talked about Raheem as a pretending criminal, and brought them together, purely to show that as a player of the 96 generation, as long as he plays the results, he will be loved by young players, because these high school students grew up watching their 96 generation play, and many of them officially joined the basketball career in their teens, at that time, it happened to be Kobe Bryant and Raheem's generation of players who entered the NBA, like James, junior high school and high school, and the room was plastered with Kobe Bryant's posters.

After talking bad about Raheem for a while, suddenly someone came to take a photo with Jason Terry, it turned out that the high school students of the Eastern team heard that the stars of the Hawks were coming, and they also ran over to join in the fun, what a coincidence, there are Franklin High School, that is, the star high school students who graduated from high school in Jason Terry's alma mater and are about to enter the NCAA, came to take a photo with Jason Terry, Jason Terry just poked Raheem's backbone together, and immediately left Liu Mang and the two bodyguards behind.

Liu Mang feels so desolate, Boozer and Barnes, one grew up in Europe, the other is a ruffian gangster type, no high school students treat them as idols, Liu Mang is a foreigner, maybe children can treat him as an idol, just like Nowitzki, but these high school students who are eighteen or nineteen years old, it must be difficult for anyone to become his fans.

Just when Liu Mang wanted to "create" an English version of Liangliang for himself, a black and sturdy young man who was half a head taller than him...... Probably a teenager, a kid wearing a training uniform with the Eastern Team written on it came to him.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, I'm LeBron James."

“……”

Liu Mang stared at the face in front of him who claimed to be James who didn't look like a high school student at all, and he still looked at James as a high school student, and the feeling of being looked at made James very uncomfortable.

Liu Mang remembered, wasn't he still marveling at James's popularity just now!

But when James walked in front of him, Liu Mang really didn't come out for a while.

The main reason is that the hair is too thick, and Liu Mang thought it was Auden......

If you think about it, Oden, who is now 15 years old, may also look like this.

Feeling that James in front of him was a little helpless, Liu Mang felt very interesting, just looked at Xiao Zhan like that, and after entering the NBA, the status of the two is not easy to say, maybe Liu Mang can suppress James, or maybe this guy just can't suppress it and becomes evenly matched.

The non-humble tone when James greeted him just now made Liu Mang feel very interesting, and at the same time, he wanted to tease this guy who was about to become the champion and might be better than Maddie's talent.

Very confident indeed! Unlike other people, when they see a star and say hello, they look like they are cringe, when James finds Liu Mang, he doesn't have a little bit of a feeling of being a newcomer to society, he is very old, very mature, and very consistent with his appearance.

But after being looked at by Liu Mang's playful eyes for a long time, James felt uncomfortable.

James has a feeling of being targeted by a hidden poisonous snake, although Liu Mang's whole temperament is very gentle and delicate, but James feels that he is being targeted by something evil!

He wanted to turn away, but James had to maintain his "demeanor", and his team of agents told him that he couldn't be immature at any time.

Liu Mang saw that James could still calm down, he didn't get angry or express his doubts, and sighed secretly, this guy is indeed a person who wants to do big things!

By the way, take a look at James' stats!

"System boss, can you see the ability value of this high school student?"

"Ding...... LeBron James, Ability 78, Offense 85, Defense 71, Three-point 66, Shooting 59, Layup 90, Speed 94, Power 83...... Talent skills to be activated. ”

Liu Mang's expression froze, what is the situation!

Liu Mang didn't expect a high school student to have an evaluation of similar ability value as himself!

This guy is in high school, and the evaluation of the ability value of his performance is similar to the evaluation of Liu Mang's second season in the NBA!

Don't be so exaggerated! When you finish the summer league and officially enter the NBA regular season, isn't it possible to directly enter the NBA, which is the quasi-first-class star level of 80 or even higher?

Moreover, less than 80 ability points have talent skills that will be activated!

Liu Mang looked at James, who was trembling, this guy is really a monster!

A monster that is even more monstrous than Kobe Bryant and Maddie, who graduated from high school!

But Liu Mang thinks about it, it seems that it is really like that, James averaged 20+5+5 per game in his rookie year, and this data is the peak of Ricky Davis's career, and the whole team gave him the ball.

"LeBron?" Liu Mang asked.

Finally a response!

James had a feeling of crying with joy, and the feeling of being stared at by a hunter from Liu Mang was gone, which made James feel like he had "won".

Holding back his excitement, James made a beating appearance, tilted his head and said, "Yeh, I'm LeBron James, a graduate of St. Mary's High School, and I'm about to participate in the NBA draft. ”

"Wow, that's great." Liu Mang was surprised by James's strength and felt the pressure, so he responded a little perfunctorily.

That's gone? James feels so frustrated today! I didn't get angry or show frustration for a long time, but the other party suddenly seemed to have little interest in me?

Liu Mang is not interested in James anymore, but he feels the pressure, and he has to train harder and improve his strength faster, and his thinking is on how to arrange his training.

Last summer, I mainly polished my basic skills, passing and shooting.

The passing is almost practiced, and shooting is a long job, so it's all about the skills.

Liu Mang's goal in the summer is to improve his personal skills in an all-round way, and there are more skill upgrade cards this year!

Thinking about this, Liu Mang directly forgot about the James in front of him.

After all, James is still an 18-year-old child, even in the senior year of high school, he learned a lot of things that should be learned after entering the society, but after all, he only learned, not experienced.

James originally wanted Liu Mang to ask him about things, and he answered again, taking the initiative, but found that he was not the opponent of the senior in front of him!

James broke the credit and took the initiative to say: "It was Uncle Weiss who told me that if I could see you, I would get to know you, and say that we would become good friends." ”

Uncle Wes?

Liu Mang remembered that James was also William Wesley's "customer", and James was just elected champion, and it was William Wesley who took Nike to give the NBA player the largest endorsement contract so far.

What a coincidence!

"Haha, LeBron, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Mang's expression immediately changed, he was very enthusiastic, and in James's stunned gaze, he reached out and hooked James's shoulder, hey, this old high school student is really tall, Liu Mang is really uncomfortable approaching half a head.

However, James is indeed young and old, although he is in a state of confusion, I don't know why Liu Mang suddenly became so enthusiastic, but he still took the initiative to bend over a little and descended to a height about the same as Liu Mang.

Seeing James' stunned expression, Liu Mang completely ignored these embarrassments and pulled James to introduce his teammates: "This is Matt and Carlos, they are a little older than you......"

Then ran to Rahim: "This is Sharif, the best small forward in the NBA, you should know him, do you play point guard or what?" Point guard, that's a shame you can't play against him. ”

Then it came to Jason Terry: "This is Jason, the best little guy in the basketball, you should know ...... too"

After introducing their teammates, Liu Mang and James exchanged mobile phone numbers......

James had absolutely no idea what was going on!

Why are you so enthusiastic all of a sudden?

What is the conspiracy?

It's not like that! Liu Mang didn't even say anything through William Wesley, the bond between the two, but simply introduced his teammates.

There is no interest in the slightest.,It's just a feeling of changing from a hunter to a kind big brother.。

James was in the circle all the way from Liu Mang to the end of the circle, until he had returned to the Eastern locker room, and was still in the circle......

Society is terrible!

This eerie feeling without any sense of threat made James feel terrible!

James has always been a person with a great sense of crisis, and when he knew that he had great athletic talent, he was planning for his future, so that many of his choices in the future were criticized.

But now this feeling of not having a sense of crisis makes him feel more terrible than the danger around him!

……

……

James was worried on his side, but Liu Mang didn't have anything to do here, except that the pressure was much greater, there was nothing else.

And this kind of pressure, Liu Mang completely used it as a motivation to face.

Originally, Liu Mang's goal in the next offseason was to become a first-class star or even better, even if James entered the NBA with the ability value in his early 80s, it was also next season, Liu Mang was confident to beat James, as for whether he could crush it, this is Liu Mang's pressure, it is really not difficult to beat rookie James, rookie James and second-year Arenas at most.

To be enthusiastic about James is for the sake of William Wesley's face, after all, this fat uncle has helped Liu Mang a lot, which makes Liu Mang feel like he has forgotten his friendship.

As for not mentioning anything related to interests, this is too normal for Liu Mang, he and James just met, where did the entanglement of interests come from, just a little more enthusiastic about James, purely James's own sense of crisis attributes made him think more.

After getting to know James, Liu Mang didn't pay too much attention to James, at least in the first two years after James entered the NBA, there was no way to bring too much pressure to Liu Mang, and the Cavaliers had to rot for two years, and the sequelae after the mess, even if it was James, it would take a few years to solve.

Since he came out to watch the game, after Liu Mang clarified his thoughts, he put aside those things that will be a headache in the future and enjoy the fun of watching the game.

This McDonald's All-Star Game, said to be an All-Star Game, is actually a comprehensive event, a slam dunk contest, a three-point contest and an official game of 40 minutes in the second half of the game, adding up from half past two to five o'clock for a total of two and a half hours.

The atmosphere was very hot, and when Rahim gave a speech as the opening guest, the atmosphere exploded directly, and more than 20,000 fans were all booing Liu Mang.

Liu Mang was very helpless, he just sat on the sidelines, and the big screen gave him a picture, and then the scene was full of boos.

What can Liu Mang do, shh

If you do good deeds, you don't need to leave your name, silently contribute to the medical industry of the United States and benefit the medical industry of the United States.

Shhhhhh

The three-point contest is nothing to look at, a group of people don't shoot much, the dunk contest is really powerful, eighteen or nineteen-year-old high school students are full of energy, although most of the dunks are imitation of NBA players, but they are really good-looking!

To Liu Mang's surprise, the Western team's nose resembled Erkang's Shannon Brown, who reached the finals with James, and it was a parody of Liu Mang's dunk moves at All-Star Weekend.

Not to mention, Liu Mang thinks that maybe in addition to himself and LaVine, the most suitable person to do that kind of dunk is Xiangnong Brown, who jumps too high! And it gives people the feeling that they never have to jump with all their might, and they don't have to sprint, and they fly up with a light flick on the ground.

James and Shannon Brown entered the finals, and the performance dunk James is really not particularly good, he is better at actual dunking, and imitated Jordan's baseline to break through the windmill dunk in the final, but it was a two-handed windmill and did not get a full score.

Shannon Brown performed a slam dunk even stronger, winning the championship in the final by jumping on the spot and holding the ball 360 degrees and gently pressing the ball into the basket.

The rest of the game was a tough one for both sides, after all, it was a game that could affect their future.

Not to mention, the atmosphere at the scene is really great, maybe everyone's skills are not particularly good, mainly in shooting, but in terms of ball control, breakthrough, dunking, and showing physical fitness, it is really good-looking, Liu Mang feels that it is not a bad thing to be pulled out this time.

Gave myself pressure for the future and watched a good event.
