Chapter 1175 1174. Pressure From the Country

"Because the host's team deliberately chose the Knicks as the opponent to break the historical record, the Knicks players were in a state of anger. After the Knicks players held a player meeting, the players reached a consensus and worked together to prepare for a game. The Knicks unexpectedly had a chance to survive. The despair of the Big Apple City is triggered: the host needs to lead the team to defeat the Knicks at home, and the score difference is at least 30 points, defeating the idea of ​​unity and cooperation of the Knicks players, and completely cutting off the hope of the Knicks' rise. Mission reward: Anfernee Hardaway 1999-2000 season star card. Failure penalty: deduct 50,000 superstar value."

"Anfernee Hardaway 1999-2000 version: ability evaluation 86, offense 90, defense 77, three-pointer 62, mid-range shot 90, layup 92, speed 88, strength 86..."

This mission... Liu Mang felt a little painful. The Knicks were actually angry about this? Aren't they the kind of characters with a long background?

Hardaway's star card from the 99-00 season. Although Hardaway's 99-00 season was theoretically at the age of 28, he had already lost his explosiveness and speed due to injuries. At the age of 28, which was the best time of his life, he had already left the ranks of top stars, averaging only 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

However, Liu Mang watched the video clips of Hardaway's star card from the 99-00 season, and his skills were really good!

Even though he lost his speed and explosiveness, he was still able to score 16.9 points and 5.5 assists per game with a hit rate of 47%.

Not only was he talented and cool, Liu Mang saw Hardaway's efforts!

High-post back-to-the-basket, low-post singles, rhythm breakthroughs and mid-range shots were all excellent, with a mid-range hit rate of 41%!

It seems that the 50,000 star value is definitely worth the money.

It's just that this can't be used to sell 50,000 star value, but if the task is not completed, 50,000 star value will be deducted.

Originally, in the last game, Liu Mang saw his teammates preparing so passionately, with a stronger fighting spirit than playing against the Lakers, Spurs, and Suns, wanting to win the game and break the record. Liu Mang felt that he could play casually in the last game, but he didn't expect the Knicks to be so united!

Liu Mang felt that sports were really unexpected, and many things could not be guessed with the psychology of ordinary people.

But to win by 30 points...

The Hawks have averaged 116 points and 104 points per game so far this season.

It is not so easy to win a team ranked last in the league by 30 points.

But it is not particularly difficult. The Hawks won by a small margin most of the time, mainly because there were a lot of garbage time, the substitutes played casually, and Jason Terry took the lead in playing randomly.

But to win at least 30 points, Liu Mang felt that he had to be more serious!

…

…

The Hawks lost to the Jazz, and their record became 72 wins and 9 losses. The last game became a must-win game, which made the Hawks' farewell game more concerned.

This night is definitely a record-breaking night for the Hawks. All NBA fans, whether they like the Hawks or not, want to see this record night, just like when the Bulls broke the Lakers' 69-win record.

Moreover, if the Knicks are upset, it will also be a huge attraction. Fans like to see records broken, but they also like to see upset teams end records.

When the news came out that the Knicks held a team meeting and rented a gym in Atlanta for hard training, many fans' first reaction after knowing the news was "what did you do earlier".

The Knicks' lineup talent has always been good, and with a salary of 130 million, it can't be bad at all.

Marbury, Quentin Richardson, and Eddy Curry are all stars who are theoretically at their peak and very healthy. If they are placed in other teams, they can build a team around them and have a suitable head coach, and they still have the strength to make the playoffs. Before Larry Brown came to the Knicks and oppressed the atmosphere of the Knicks to collapse, the Knicks were indeed a playoff team.

But it was so bad that fans knew that the Knicks actually practiced together before the last game, and the fans were more likely to make fun of it.

After a bad season, it was too late to show effort now, even if they were really ready to play hard.

However, there were also a small number of fans, especially a group of former male professional basketball players in their 40s and 50s, who were almost holding the statue of Jesus and shouting Amen.

Originally, the Hawks had 72 wins, and with two games left, there was almost no possibility that the Hawks would lose the record.

But now, there is really a little possibility, even if it is less than 0.1%, but what if it happens?

So, some Bulls fans and former Bulls players, today, they have become Knicks fans...

...

...

"This is my father, Liu Lijie, and this is my mother Tong Xiaoying... Dad, this is your favorite commentator, Coach Zhang Weiping." Liu Mang introduced Coach Zhang and his father to each other.

"Hello, hello, I'm Mangzi's father, my name is Liu Lijie, Mangzi is very grateful for your care."

"No, no, hello, I'm Zhang Weiping."

"Coach Zhang, I love your commentary, it's funny and humorous..."

"No, the son you taught is really good. He is much better at playing than I was back then..."

Liu Mang couldn't bear to watch two guys who claimed to be not Lakers fans complimenting each other!

This morning, Liu Mang received a notice from Schwartz. Before the game started in the afternoon, the Imperial TV station had a special program to record called "Record Night." The Imperial TV station sent out several commentators to record several popular songs from the Eagles. High star players' game-day preparations and personal lives.

This incident happened a bit suddenly, but the league and the Hawks management fully cooperated. Filming started from the tactical meeting that started at 9 a.m. to a tactical training session that started at 10:30.

At noon, the players were also photographed eating a nutritious meal together.

Jason Terry and David Lee, who originally complained endlessly every time they ate nutritious meals, pretended to eat well and boasted that they ate like this every day and never slacked off 365 days a year...

After lunch, some of the players went home, and some went to have afternoon tea. The big-name commentators from the imperial court, Zhang Weiping, Xu Jicheng, Su Qun, as well as commentators such as Yu Jia, Sun Zhengping, Yang Jian, etc., followed their respective teams. The balloon stars were assigned to record how the Eagles stars spent their day on this record-breaking day.

Liu Mang returned home in the afternoon, and Director Zhang and the photography team followed him.

After introducing their parents, everyone else also introduced them. As for the two girlfriends... the imperial court cut off this section. Although this is more in line with traditional Chinese history, it is not in line with China's current situation.

When it comes to Liu Mang's children, it's the highlight.

"Ace, your son and daughter are so beautiful. Please introduce them to the audience."

"This is my son, Liu Hao, his English name is Becas." Liu Mang casually introduced his son. Recently, this boy has been pestering Alexia or Levia every day to hold him to sleep, which made Liu Mang very upset. Jealous.

When his daughter arrived, Liu Mang suddenly became energetic: "This is Dinah, a real primary school student, very smart, can draw, sing and dance; this is Avril, her Chinese name is Liu Fangqing, her nickname is Xiuxiu, she can ...will cry!"

Director Zhang was ashamed of this treatment.

Both the little loli and the mini loli have introductions and characteristics. Although the introduction of crying is a bit strange, the introduction is very careful. As for the son... he just mentioned his name...

After introducing his family, Liu Mang changed into training clothes, went to the open-air court in the backyard of the house, and began to follow the requirements of the imperial court to talk about some of his basketball skills: "As long as I am at home, I basically practice shooting here every day. , about a thousand times a day, you still have to practice until you get tired of it. If you can put the ball into the basket during the game, all this tiredness will be nothing..."

The program lasted for most of the day, and the final broadcast was probably about ten minutes of the edited highlights. From nine in the morning to four in the afternoon, for seven hours, Liu Mang was always surrounded by cameras, which kept Liu Mang in a different state than usual in private. status.

Although it is a bit strange to press the button, it is a work requirement and Liu Mang needs to establish his image off the court.

Finally, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the interview was about to end, and Coach Zhang asked the last question: "Ace, are you confident in your game tonight? People across the country hope you can break the historical record."

The question asked by Director Zhang was the new pressure Liu Mang felt when he received a call from Schwartz this morning saying that there was a temporary program to be recorded.

This program will be broadcast at 6 p.m. today, which is 9 a.m. BJ time. Two hours before the start of the game, the Eagles' "Record Night" special program will be broadcast, lasting up to 90 minutes.

Chaotingtai is already convinced that they can break the record and has already publicized it throughout the country.

Liu Mang understood their approach, but Liu Mang also felt heavy pressure.

This kind of pressure was not something Liu Mang had before when he played in the Athens Olympics. At the Athens Olympics, as long as he could qualify, the fans would be very satisfied.

However, China has been weak for too long. The Chinese people are eager to see their country rise immediately in all aspects. After all, this is a big country with a long history that was the strongest country in the world before 1800. The Qianlong era was the economic strength and development of China's feudal dynasty. It was the period when military strength was at its peak and the population was the largest, but the Qianlong era happened to be during the Industrial Revolution. Before and after the Industrial Revolution, there were two completely different eras. Once the Qianlong era passed, Western countries completed their historic transformation, and China became prosperous and prosperous. Declined.

After its prosperity and decline, it fell into the worst period in history for more than 100 years. It has not had much influence in the world for more than 200 years.
