Chapter 1160 1159. Snake with Immunity

He was cut into a quadruple-double, he scored 80 points while the opponent scored 90 points, he scored 60+ points in three quarters twice but still couldn't prove that he was a stronger scorer, and he was teased by the opponent during the All-Star Weekend that he couldn't do without a big center...

Kobe admitted the last one. After experiencing the 04-05 season that tortured his soul, his desire for helpers was greater than his desire to lead the team himself.

It's impossible to do without teammates. Duncan had David Robinson in his early years and later had the troika; Liu Mang had Rahim and Ratliff in his early years, and later had McGrady, Kwame Brown, Jason Terry and Rasheed Wallace.

Originally, the All-Star Weekend has been over for so long, and Kobe's frustration and unhappiness are no longer too much to heart. His current goal is to sit firmly in the second place in the West and want to make a difference in the playoffs.

But...

The current situation...

"Look, Kobe, I have a 90% chance of winning the MVP, Yao Ming is not on the list, only the four of us are on the list..." Liu Mang said to Kobe while holding the Atlanta Daily newspaper.

Kobe was so angry!

When he saw the news yesterday, he was not angry. This was predictable. He would find it strange if he didn't win the MVP after 70 wins.

But now, during dinner, Liu Mang showed off with a newspaper, and Kobe wanted to flip the table!

But Kobe held back. It was Liu Mang's hospitable mother who invited them to dinner. Kobe attached great importance to education. After all, he was a white and black man.

Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming were speechless about Liu Mang. This kid wanted to make Kobe lose his cool all the time.

This year's MVP prediction list is too scary!

There are only four players. When Liu Mang won the MVP last time, although Liu Mang was also the first in the world, there was at least a normal ten-person prediction list. Even if the probability was a few tenths of a percent, there were at least ten names.

But this time, there were only four names!

Yao Ming, O'Neal, Francis, James, Iverson, Wade, these stars who performed well and have long been in the top ten of the MVP rankings, are not on the prediction list, which means zero probability!

Yao Ming even felt that putting Nash, Kobe, and Duncan, the three best players besides Liu Mang, on the prediction list was just to make the prediction list look less... monotonous...

The great god began to act like an emperor, eating big mouthfuls of food, thinking that the food in his mouth was Liu Mang biting it madly, gnawing on a roasted lamb leg as if he was gnawing on Liu Mang's meat.

Seeing Kobe's expression staring at Liu Mang eating madly, everyone present wanted to laugh, but also felt that this was too inappropriate. Liu Mang's thigh was kicked several times by Levia, who was sitting opposite him. Liu Mang quickly clamped that foot and almost kicked the little brother.

The little girl was kindhearted. Seeing Kobe eating so fast, she brought a glass of water to Kobe: "Uncle Kobe, eat slowly, be careful not to choke, drink some water."

Kobe wiped his mouth with a napkin, took the glass of water and thanked him: "Dina is so good, compared to some people..."

Kobe didn't finish his words, he was surprised, how could someone like Liu Mang have such a lovely daughter, and even gave birth to a son! It's so mad!

Kobe was very unhappy with two shots and zero, and decided to try harder with Vanessa, the next one must be a son! Must not lose!

Kobe still remembered that Liu Mang "cursed" him to have three daughters in a row. Although Kobe liked his daughters very much, he refused to admit defeat!

...

A pleasant dinner ended. After Kobe finished his meal, he apologized to Liu Mang's parents and girlfriends, and left early. He didn't want to see Liu Mang's face.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi stayed for a while, and had something to talk to Liu Mang about.

"Ace, the national team has contacted you, right? Will you participate in the World Championships held in Japan this year?" Yao Ming asked.

"Of course, I may not go to other World Championships, but I must go to play against Japan!" Liu Mang answered without hesitation.

A few days ago, the national team had contacted Schwartz, and Liu Mang chose to participate without hesitation.

Although this year's World Championships was overshadowed by the Football World Cup worldwide, the Basketball World Championships took the upper hand in China and the United States. Americans don't like football that much. In their minds, football is rugby. Domestically, football is getting worse and worse. People originally thought that entering the World Cup in 2002 was the moment when the national football team rose, but unexpectedly, that was actually the peak of the national football team...

When a major ball sport is a hot spot for medals in the world and another major ball sport can't even enter the world championships, sports fans naturally have a tendency.

After talking with his father and opening up his heart, Liu Mang had more goals to work hard for. He found many goals for himself to keep himself from slacking off. One of them is to make basketball truly the number one sport in China!

The World Championships in Japan, originally this country made the Chinese people have a deep hatred for their country, Liu Mang took this opportunity to start promoting basketball in China!

This year's World Championships happened to be the weakest time for the US team. The Americans lost two consecutive world championships and still did not take other countries seriously. Liu Mang wanted to take this opportunity to make a big deal!

"Great, with Ace here and A-Lian, we have a chance to enter the top four again this time, and we may have a chance to win a medal..."

Yao Ming was very happy to hear Liu Mang's response, and Wang Zhizhi was also very excited. Compared with Liu Mang and Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi was actually happier and more excited. After all, he was a player who came from a military background, and his sense of collective honor for the national team was much stronger than Liu Mang and Yao Ming.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi chatted for a while about the World Championships in the summer, and then left.

In the World Championships, as long as Liu Mang and Yao Ming, the core lineup that can compete for the championship in the NBA, can be guaranteed, the Chinese team will have the strength of the top five in the world. Except for the NBA, no other country has two NBA All-Star players. The role players are a little worse, but they are definitely stronger!

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi just wanted to come to Liu Mang to confirm in person after the national team began to recruit players for training, before the training list was announced.

Now Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi's goal is the NBA playoffs, and the target they want to defeat the most is Liu Mang, their strongest teammate in the national team!

The national team belongs to the national team, and the NBA belongs to the NBA. There is no conflict at all.

Liu Mang watched Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi get on the taxi that came to pick them up with the dream of winning medals, and thought of the World Championships in the summer...

"Medals..."

Liu Mang looked at the "Chinese Light" buff in the system. Compared with Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi's dreams, what Liu Mang wanted to do was even more exaggerated...

...

...

A focus battle before the playoffs!

The second match between the Hawks and the Lakers this season was regarded by the league as a big battle to increase the attention of fans before the Hawks playoffs, and it was also the most watched game before the Lakers playoffs.

After the Hawks played the Lakers, the four opponents were the Bucks, Raptors, Jazz, and Knicks. Most of the four teams were the teams that competed for the No. 1 pick last season. It was clear that the Hawks could practice tactics in the last few games of the season. The purpose of the previous wave of consecutive games between the Hawks and strong teams such as the Mavericks, Spurs, Cavaliers, 76ers, Suns, and Lakers was obviously to create heat for the playoffs.

Every time Liu Mang played against Kobe, American fans were very excited and full of highlights.

In China, the promotion of another China Derby has started early, and it is more radical. The title in China is "Finals Preview".

However, the players of both the Hawks and the Lakers really regarded this game as a preview of the finals. The Lakers may only target the Hawks, while the Hawks regard the previous games against the Mavericks, Spurs and today's game against the Lakers as early competitions with their opponents in the finals, so they have made sufficient preparations.

On April 11, at 8:10 pm, 20 minutes before the start of this late game, Liu Mang entered the Phillips Arena and felt a cold look from the opposite side like a venomous snake.

Liu Mang likes to hit snakes the most. His name was actually given by his father who stepped on a small snake. This is intolerable. Liu Mang now wants to hit snakes when he sees them.

As the saying goes, hit the snake at its weakest point. Kobe's weakest point is that he is unreasonable and easily loses his composure. Although he explodes many times when he is not calm, he also messes up the game a lot when he is not calm. It is half and half. There was a crazy 80 points with 26 of 40 shots, and there was also a feat of 50 points with 17 of 48 shots.

After training yesterday, Liu Mang specially invited Kobe, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi, who arrived in Atlanta yesterday at noon, to his house for dinner, just to irritate Kobe.

As for the effect... it seems to be average, Liu Mang feels very sorry, this black snake has already developed immunity, and its psychological quality is getting stronger and stronger.

Liu Mang did not receive the task prompt in today's game, which feels a little unexpected, but it is not that there is no task. Liu Mang also has a task to suppress Kobe. Every time he sweeps Kobe in the regular season, he can get a star card of Kobe in that season.

Liu Mang has used Kobe's star card several times, and he has improved every time. This guy's basic skills are too solid, and Liu Mang can learn something every time.

However, compared to Kobe's card last season, which was so annoying that his strength actually declined, and the cards of the 02-03 season and the 99-00 season, which were not so strong at the time, Kobe's card with an ability rating of over 100 this season obviously made Liu Mang happier.

Having a special version of Kobe's card that can be used for the entire game does not mean that Liu Mang does not want the ordinary 5-minute version of the era-class superstar's card.

For Liu Mang, Kobe is a big treasure trove! As the man who is closest to God with more comprehensive skills than Jordan, Liu Mang feels that Kobe is a treasure from top to bottom...
