Chapter 1168 1167. What Happened to the Agreement that We Would Become Each Other's Underachievers?

The first Chinese derby in the true sense, the first major event accomplished after the formation of the drug-taking combination!

It is right to want to see Liu Mang win three consecutive championships, but domestic fans also hope to see Yao Ming have a chance to win the championship.

It is nothing to beat Liu Mang's Hawks once in the regular season, but at least there is hope! The Lakers have the possibility of winning the Hawks!

Unlike the last time when Liu Mang won a quadruple-double, the one-sided media and most of the fence-sitting fans saw Liu Mang's quadruple-double and trampled the Lakers to death.

Kobe will only be 28 years old in the summer, Yao Ming will only be 26 years old in the summer, and Odom will only be 27 years old at the beginning of next season. After this game, the combination of these three people has brought unprecedented hope to the Lakers fans for this season!

At least there is hope! Although it is only the regular season, there is hope anyway!

Although the Lakers fans were roaring, deep down, they did not think that their team had much chance of defeating the Hawks in the playoffs, but now, there is hope!

Unlike the Mavericks who beat the Hawks because the Hawks had their main players not on the court, the Lakers beat the Hawks with the strongest lineup and the best condition.

Although it was so difficult to win, it was only because Liu Mang was sent off at the last moment that the victory was secured, but a win is a win!

Yao Ming's 30 points, 16 rebounds and 5 blocks are not as good as Liu Mang's 30 points, 20 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 5 steals, which is a super 5 times 5 data. However, most of Liu Mang's rebounds were grabbed by Kwame Brown, Rasheed Wallace and Mourning when they could not grab the rebounds and focused on positioning.

Yao Ming grabbed the rebounds himself and helped Odom position himself, allowing Odom to grab 15 rebounds.

Of course, fans all think that Liu Mang's 20 rebounds are very impressive. The media and fans are full of praise for Liu Mang's performance on defense and rebounds in this game. Although Liu Mang only shot 10 of 31, with a hit rate of just over 30%, the overall hit rate of the Hawks and Lakers was just over 28%. Liu Mang's hit rate was already good. The Lakers shot 89 times and scored 86 points, and the Hawks shot 92 times to get 81 points.

Liu Mang grabbed three offensive rebounds at the critical moment and scored 2+1, and almost won.

It was just that Yao Ming's response ball after Liu Mang scored 2+1 returned Liu Mang a 2+1, which directly helped the Lakers win.

Yao Ming really played the feeling of the first center in this game. The biggest gap between Yao Ming and O'Neal, or the few gaps now, is to fight hard.

In this hard battle, Yao Ming did not give up and won!

…

Liu Mang looked at the news online. It was not so annoying. There was no news that the Lakers would win the championship if they won one game. He felt a little better.

After losing to the Lakers, the Hawks' record became 70 wins and 8 losses. The Lakers did not let the Hawks use them as a footnote to break the second-highest number of wins in history.

However, for the Hawks, losing to the Lakers was a bit regrettable, but it did not affect the Hawks' record much.

The Hawks have already won 70 games, and there are still 4 games. In fact, whether they win or lose to the Lakers, there is no suspense that the Hawks will basically break the historical record. It's just a matter of how much the historical record can be improved.

It would be better to have 75 wins and 7 losses. Now that they have the opportunity to play 74 wins and 8 losses, Hawks fans are not sad. Instead, they are more looking forward to the possible finals with the Lakers.

Liu Mang was more afraid than depressed about losing to the Lakers. Even if Odom could not stay focused all the time, at least his occasionally focused performance would definitely give the Lakers management a clearer direction to improve their strength.

Moreover... even if Odom did not play seriously, he was still a leader among first-class stars. If he was a little more serious, he would be a top star. When he was most focused, there might be only a few days a year, but in those days, he was a superstar.

Odom had a contract of 11 million US dollars. He could get 13 or 14 points, 10 rebounds and 4 or 5 assists in every game. Even if he was not serious, this contract was worth it. As the core bargaining chip for trading O'Neal, Odom's trading value was very high. Any player with an annual salary of 10 million and who could play 14+10+5 data was worth it.

Although he was afraid, Liu Mang could only put the Lakers aside for the time being. There were still four games to go, and he had to win at least three!

Liu Mang once again won the title of leader of the empty-cut group. As a guard, and a point guard at that, he scored 30 points and 20 rebounds, but lost the game. He felt like he was wearing a green vest.

Fortunately, the media did not criticize him. It was a pity for the 5-minute Kobe star card. However, Liu Mang was reluctant to exchange the 12-minute Kobe star card for a 5-minute Kobe star card, and he might not be able to get it even if he used Ray Allen's star card.

The most likely card to be exchanged is Curry's star card. There are 10 minutes in the fourth quarter to burst out, but Curry's star card is exchanged for Kobe's 5-minute star card... Even if it is Kobe's peak star card, it feels too bad. I feel that Curry's star card is not for this kind of regular season tail-end record-brushing game. It should be used in a real game that must be used to maximize its value.

And how much effect can Curry's star card have in this iron-blooded battle? This is difficult to determine.

Kobe's star card... The special version of the whole game is exchanged for 5 minutes, unless there is something wrong with his brain.

As for using McGrady's moment at the end... Liu Mang didn't even have a chance. In that situation, even if Liu Mang had planned not to use it, he might still use it at the critical moment.

Liu Mang didn't know whether he should be thankful or regretful for being sent off at the last moment.

Anyway, Liu Mang is now more motivated for the next match with the Lakers.

"Come to the finals, I'll be waiting for you there."

Liu Mang opened Facebook and posted a screenshot of Word on his Facebook social account, which has the second largest number of fans among NBA players who haven't posted a dynamic for a month or two, and then turned off the computer and went to sleep.

...

...

The Lakers returned to the hotel under the escort of the police before 2 a.m.

The atmosphere of the Lakers was like the New Year.

From a psychological point of view, the Lakers' victory over the strongest Hawks, which may be stronger than the 03-04 season, has a greater confidence boost than their stable second place in the West.

After returning to the hotel, Yao Ming turned on the computer and checked the news.

Finally, there was news about the game with the Hawks that made Yao Ming excited, so of course Yao Ming had to take a look.

Kobe was a deadly chicken soup man. He took advantage of the victory of this game and came to Yao Ming's room, wanting to talk more with Yao Ming and deepen his and Yao Ming's confidence in defeating Liu Mang.

"This guy, he is still pretending even after losing!" Yao Ming laughed while watching the news.

Yao Ming's current mood was singing "I'm so happy today" in his heart. Seeing Liu Mang pretending so much, Yao Ming was not unhappy.

They won!

"Pretend?" Kobe came up curiously. Pretend translated into English means pretending to be something or pretending that something happened.

Yao Ming showed Kobe the news on Facebook. Kobe saw the sentence Liu Mang posted on Facebook and said disdainfully: "A guy who only won two championships, wait until you win three championships before saying this to me."

Seeing Kobe's arrogant look, Yao Ming smiled and didn't answer.

Yao Ming already knows Kobe's personality very well. If this guy doesn't have the opportunity to show off, he is just like an autistic man. If he has the opportunity to show off, he can be proud of himself.

Kobe has a feeling that if he beats Liu Mang once, there will be another time! Many times!

He is so confident.

Yao Ming saw that Liu Mang's Facebook fans have exceeded one million. Among the current North American athletes, only James has more than 1.5 million fans than Liu Mang. Yao Ming's own fans are 440,000, which is a little more than O'Neal's 390,000. There is still a gap between him and Liu Mang. Yao Ming has more fans in Texas and California, while Liu Mang has been severely criticized in North America. Similarly, his popularity in North America is also very high.

It is difficult for Yao Ming to surpass Liu Mang's number of fans. The North American athletes with more than one million fans are Liu Mang and James.

Now, a million fans is really a super V, and an advertisement costs tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of US dollars, but Liu Mang and James don't want to use this to ruin their social accounts.

Yao Ming said to Kobe: "Kobe, Ace's fans have exceeded one million. You should also create a Facebook account. You will definitely catch up with Ace and James in no time."

Kobe was pretending to be cool. When he heard this, his face looked a little strange.

"No, I'm not interested in that." Kobe refused decisively.

"Why? I heard from Ace that in the future, it will be the Internet era. I should pay more attention to the Internet and develop online fans to make more money. Ace is a top student at Georgia Tech. He must be right." In this regard, Yao Ming had no doubt about what Liu Mang said. It was Liu Mang who asked him to create a Facebook account, so he could have the highest number of fans among active players at the center position early.

Yao Ming was very puzzled. Why didn't Kobe create a Facebook account? Kobe was not the kind of person who treated money as dirt. His 7-year 136 million contract was the largest contract in history. This contract was more than Jordan earned in his career.

Kobe's eyes flickered: "I don't want to be bound by these electronic technologies. People's lives are bound by too many things. I don't want to add another shackle to myself. My current goal is to win the championship with you. I won't touch these trivial things for the time being."

Kobe is worthy of it!

Yao Ming felt like he had been enlightened, but he still liked the number of fans that was more than O'Neal. He could only sigh at Kobe's clear "self-awareness" that was independent and sober.

However, Yao Ming felt that Kobe's speech was becoming more and more literary recently, especially after the All-Star Weekend. It felt that this guy must have secretly worked to study! They all didn't go to college, and this guy secretly wanted to become a top student!

After Kobe finished pretending, he quickly fled Yao Ming's room. As for talking to each other, there would be plenty of time to talk later.

In fact, Kobe had learned to send text messages for two years... He was a complete electronic idiot and couldn't even use a camera...

The electrical appliances he was best at using were TV remote controls and air conditioner remote controls...
