Chapter 1133 1132. Blame It All on Ace-Liu

Helping McGrady win the All-Star MVP is part of Liu Mang's "Teammate Care Plan".

McGrady and Liu Mang play together, so it is basically impossible for him to have a chance to be related to the team's MVP, so he will make up for it in other ways.

Liu Mang remembered that in the original time and space, McGrady in the West was just a little bit away from winning the MVP this year, and Kobe, Garnett, Yao Ming and other stars all made it clear that they would help McGrady win the MVP. It just happened that in the original time and space, this year was the most balanced year in the East and West in the past ten years. The West went all out but couldn't get an advantage at the All-Star Weekend, and James snatched the MVP away.

However, this time is different. The Hawks have five All-Stars, and McGrady is in the East. He is not the kind of person who likes to make enemies. In addition, there are many cases in the history of NBA All-Stars where a group helps a player win the MVP. Liu Mang is ready to sell his iron wall-like face and help McGrady win the MVP.

The four rookies of the 03 generation had no objection. Because of Liu Mang, they were not able to stir up the storm as early as in the original time and space. The key is that there are 4 All-Stars in this time and space, which allows Liu Mang to better implement the idea of ​​helping McGrady win an MVP.

Carter is McGrady's cousin. Although he didn't know it until he entered the NBA, he is still a cousin.

Iverson once got the help of Liu Mang and snatched an All-Star MVP from Kobe, which made Iverson remember this favor.

Iverson has many black spots. Although it is not as hateful as Garnett, there are many black spots. For example, not long ago, he actually kicked his naked wife out of the house...

But these are all his private life, and outsiders like Liu Mang can't control them. He is a senior, a 10-year veteran, and Liu Mang is just a player who is about to enter the Mesozoic era.

However, Iverson is a man of loyalty. Although he is a little too loyal, and treats some of his childhood friends like family members, which makes outsiders unable to stop criticizing him, he is really loyal.

Liu Mang helped him win the All-Star MVP, and Liu Mang defeated his nemesis Kobe in the finals, which made Iverson remember these favors.

Although the two did not contact much, and even did not contact twice a year without games, favors are favors. As a player born in the 1970s, Iverson is very moral.

Eleven of the 12 All-Stars in the Eastern Conference are here, and they hit it off and helped McGrady win the All-Star MVP!

Liu Mang usually has a good relationship with most stars off the court, except for some high school players who have extremely bad relations. Stars born in the 1980s are very different from those born in the 1970s and 1960s. Stars born in the 1980s have accepted a culture that is very different from those of previous stars. The peak group started with stars born in the 1980s. Stars born in the 1970s will at least survive until they are 30 years old and have no other choice before they join the group.

Those born in the 1980s and 1990s... are even more direct. The Hawks at least got five All-Star players by their own record, and they directly joined the team to form a five-star universe team...

One thing is very critical, this year's All-Star head coach!

In the West, this year's All-Star head coach is Popovich. Duncan has won the All-Star MVP before, and Popovich has satisfied the All-Star MVP wish of this sultry apprentice, so now the Spurs do not need the All-Star MVP. In the original time and space, Popovich saw that the Western All-Stars wanted to help McGrady win the MVP, and used Nowitzki, McGrady, Yao Ming, Nash, and Marion to death, satisfying the requirements of the Western All-Stars.

This time, the Western All-Star head coach is still Popovich, and the head coach on the Eastern side is Coach Kruger, who is the All-Star head coach every other year. Coach Kruger was elected as the All-Star head coach for the third time, and there is no big problem with the coach.

After Liu Mang greeted Coach Kruger, Coach Kruger told Liu Mang to play by himself, it was just an All-Star, but secretly told him to let the two brothers of the Heat play more.

Liu Mang agrees with this.

Today is the day of the Rookie Game. The players participating in the game don't have many activities scheduled. In the morning, they wore the blue training suits of the Eastern Conference All-Stars and accepted an official interview with the NBA. As for the open interview, it was the roundtable meeting at noon on the day of the game. Then, the stars with good relationships took some group photos.

When the Eastern Conference All-Stars took a group photo, O'Neal, the big guy, came.

For now, O'Neal is the most honored active player.

Liu Mang has an MVP, O'Neal has one, Liu Mang has two scoring champions, he also has two, Liu Mang has won the Finals MVP consecutively, he has won three consecutively...

Last year was similar. O'Neal was unhappy that he was not an All-Star starter and ignored the official interviews of the NBA. He came last.

After taking the photos, O'Neal did not apologize or anything, and left with his younger brother Wade.

Liu Mang saw that O'Neal was so big, and he would have more honors than O'Neal in the future, so he would also try.

...

O'Neal was not interested in the Rookie Game and was going to take Wade to play around.

When they got to the parking lot, O'Neal asked, "Dwyane, you guys were so happy just now, what were you talking about?"

O'Neal was worried that these little bastards would say bad things about him behind his back.

"We are going to help Tracy win the All-Star MVP this year, and Ace and LeBron are discussing tactics." Wade replied.

"Is that so..."

……

……

On the first two days of the All-Star Weekend, Liu Mang was a spectator. As the NBA All-Star Weekend Grand Slam winner, Liu Mang rejected all invitations to the three competition days this year. He is no longer interested in this and wants to take a good rest.

However, Liu Mang's father is very interested in these games, so Liu Mang can only watch with him.

In the rookie game, the sophomores beat the freshmen. There were two British Jordans of the Bulls, Iguodala and Josh Smith, Howard, Okafor... There were only two or three powerful point guards in the freshmen. The sophomores won by nearly 40 points, 142 to 103.

Iguodala scored 17 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, and Josh Smith scored 35 points. The two teamed up to lead the sophomore team to easily defeat the freshmen and jointly won the All-Star Rookie Game MVP.

The progress of Iguodala and Josh Smith in the second year is obvious to all, but people did not expect that the two of them would have the feeling of a core combination when they work together!

Taken alone, neither of them is qualified, but together, they are better than the young core combinations of some bad teams!

Iguodala and Josh Smith made a splash this time. That night, some teams contacted the Hawks to ask if there was a possibility of a trade.

However, no team has made a substantial offer for the time being. They don't want to offend the Hawks. The Hawks can't break up the current lineup now. Everyone knows that the Hawks' goal is to win three consecutive championships.

But some teams have begun to try to build a good relationship with the Hawks. Next season is the season when Iguodala and Josh Smith can renew their contracts in advance. Prince's early renewal period this season has passed, and it's time to renew his contract next season.

Rasheed Wallace can also opt out of his contract in advance in 2007. Many teams are eyeing the Hawks. The Hawks can still enjoy the rookie bonus for one to two years at this stage. If they continue to keep the current lineup, the salary will explode in two years.

Many teams are eyeing the next summer and are ready to make things happen.

Almost all teams believe that no matter whether the Hawks win the championship this season, there will be action in the offseason.

The Bulls and Lakers were like this back then. After three consecutive championships, there must be action.

The Hawks didn't care about these for the time being. They didn't respond positively to all the temptations except the three eagles, but they didn't refuse or say anything final.

As for the three eagles... just hang up the phone.

...

On February 16, Liu Mang's four all-stars from his team went to an orphanage in Houston for charity during the day.

When it came to the triathlon in the evening, Liu Mang took his father and little Lolita to watch it. The two girls and Liu Mang's mother were not interested in it and had seen enough.

The three-point contest was quite interesting. Although Liu Mang, Peja, and Ray Allen did not participate, the three-point contest of Korver, Nowitzki, Nash, Michael Reed and... Kidd was very interesting.

Kidd lived up to expectations and didn't score in double digits. He lost in the first round. Reed was also eliminated in the first round. Although he scored 20 points, Korver, Nowitzki and Nash all scored 22 points.

This three-point contest was very enjoyable to watch, and it felt like the time when Liu Mang fought against Ray Allen and Peja.

Korver, Nowitzki and Nash entered the finals with the same score.

Korver almost won the championship, with 24 points, which was better than the preliminaries.

Nash only scored 18 points in the finals.

Nowitzki scored 25 points in the finals, surpassing Korver and winning the three-point contest championship.

The subsequent skills challenge was very interesting.

Nash, Kidd, Baron Davis, Wade, James and Paul, six players with excellent ball control participated together.

Unexpectedly, Wade, James and Kidd entered the finals!

Kidd's layup went in at once, but Nash seemed to have used up his touch in the preliminaries of the three-point contest and missed three consecutive layups.

In the end, Wade narrowly defeated James with 46 seconds and Kidd with 50 seconds. Wade defeated a group of ball-handling masters and won the championship of the Skills Challenge.

Originally, the most interesting of the three events every year was the dunk contest, but after the dunk contest between Liu Mang and Carter, the dunk contest felt like it was going to be cancelled and it was completely boring.

Nate Robinson, Iguodala, Josh Smith, Dwight Howard, and David Lee participated in the dunk contest. Even David Lee participated. The Hawks contributed three players to the dunk contest.

No stars signed up! All first- and second-year players participated.

In the end, Nate Robinson easily defeated the three Hawks players and Howard to win the dunk contest.

Last year, at least Josh Smith imitated the major historical dunkers. This year's dunk contest is not interesting at all.

Some media claimed that it was all the fault of the Eagles' No. 1...

Liu Mang responded in a post-match interview: "Yes, it's all my fault. I blame the warming of the atmosphere, the tsunami, the typhoon, everything, okay?"
