Chapter 238 236. How Are You Going to Face Failure?
"The first step of the three steps of pretending to be a card: publicly set the flag, and it has been achieved."
"The second step of the three steps of pretending to be a card is to pretend to be aggressive to the participants who participated in this incident, to be completed."
Liu Mang hid in the corner, so scared!
Francis and Peja looked like they were about to kill someone; Ray Allen was just restrained, but his eyes were still very unhappy; the others were okay, either they were unfamiliar or they were defeated.
Liu Mang thinks that he is not a person who is good at pretending, this kind of thing is too scary!
But in order to win the three-pointer, this guy has to keep pretending.
And...afraid of returning home, the feeling of pretending to be aggressive is really exciting!
Changing into his training clothes, Liu Mang came to the training ground at the Wachovia Center to practice three-point shooting.
"Shua..."
"Kang..."
"Kang..."
"Shua..."
...
Continuous shooting, quickly found the feeling.
When we played against Jordan in the early hours of the morning, the outside touch was average for a long time. Except that Jordan's physical fitness is too violent and he can interfere well without defensive skills. The most important thing is that there is no practice time for hot touch. I started practicing shooting in the afternoon.
"Ha, Ace, you didn't go to the event?"
At this time, those players who participated in the All-Star Weekend were either busy participating in various interviews to gain popularity and news opportunities, or they were participating in business activities, but one person came to the training ground just like Liu Mang.
Liu Mang was a little surprised. Looking at the person who came, it turned out to be this guy. Liu Mang greeted him very politely, "Mr. Nash, hello."
Um? First... sir? Nash was a little surprised. Is he the same person as the arrogant rookie who was interviewed half an hour ago at the competition venue?
Looking at Liu Mang's immature face, Nash felt that this might be the real Liu Mang in private! He has also been in the NBA for five or six years, and he knows that there are many players who are completely different in basketball and non-basketball matters.
Nash smiled and said, "Ace, you can just call me Steve, you are practicing three-pointers? Wow, really hardworking, no, I have to practice hard, I feel rusty after a few days of rest, and I also I don't want to take away the three-point championship so easily!"
"Steve, then you may be disappointed. You probably can only compete for second place." Liu Mang said this seriously.
"Haha, I'm really confident. Then let's see who has the better three-pointer in our game tonight!" Nash is also one of the talkative people, and he doesn't hate Liu Mang's rhetoric, or he wants to He had to have this kind of self-confidence. At the time of the draft, he thought that no team would pick him. Who knew that he would be selected with the 15th overall pick. That’s why he had that much-talked-about picture that resembles Guo Xiao after being selected. Si's wonderful extreme twisted smiley face.

...
News is a knife to kill people, a tool to make people popular overnight, and a weathervane to guide public opinion...
Liu Mang's forceful act made him popular again without any suspense.
Newspapers are selling well, TV news ratings are high, and online news hits explode.
The media love this rookie so much, they can't wait to gather around him every day and wait for him to tell some breaking news.
It's a pity that the Eagles have a staid college coach who is used to things like college students not being interviewed as much as possible.
It's not just Georgia Tech that has such a rule, it's the same for many universities.
NCAA stars can often see their news, but they are all game news. Except for the pre-draft publicity period, they rarely see NCAA player interviews during the season. Although the NCAA makes a lot of money officially, but for For players, perhaps it is pure basketball, which is why March Madness can beat the super high ratings of NBA and NFL, two of the four most-watched leagues in North America.
Seeing Liu Mang's words made the All-Star Three-Point Contest more popular, and the NBA's official bosses were very happy. This rookie is a lucky star!
Originally, this year's comprehensive competition almost didn't get much attention. Except for Ray Allen's unprecedented participation, Liu Mang participated in all competitions except the dunk contest. This year's comprehensive competition is really a balloon star Less, Francis's popularity is not bad, and it's just good. Compared with the other three All-Star starting guards, the votes of the All-Stars are less than half of the other three All-Star starting guards.
And Liu Mang's strong pretentiousness drew the attention of the comprehensive competition, and the NBA officials were naturally overjoyed.
Soon, the sky gradually darkened, and as night fell, traffic jams began to explode around the Wachovia Center, and the major bars in Philadelphia began to flourish again.
The second night of the All-Star Weekend - the All-Star Comprehensive Game is about to begin!
The game time of the comprehensive game is also close to two and a half hours. The first game is the three-point contest, and there are shooting star challenges and mixed shooting challenges in the middle. The finale is another All-Star Weekend after 1984. An eye-catching event, and even became the most popular event of the All-Stars at one time - the dunk contest!
At six o'clock in the evening, the pre-match activities have already begun.
In order to save the comprehensive game that made Carter the god of slam dunks and was almost destroyed by the god of slam dunks, the NBA officially invited the famous female singer Mariah Carey, the hottest world-class singer in the 1990s and early 21st century, to conduct the competition. Sing before the game to attract a wave of attention.
Except for a few people such as Whitney Houston and Madonna, no one can compare with Mariah Carey among the European and American female singers in the current music scene.
The appearance of this popular pop female singer who released her first solo album in 1990 and sold more than 100 million records by 2001 kicked off the second night of the All-Star Weekend!
...
After the pre-match activities, today's on-site host began to warm up for tonight's game.
"Gentlemen and ladies, the All-Star Night has begun again!" The host mobilized the atmosphere of the scene with a passionate voice.
The fans at the scene were already excited because they watched Mariah Carey's live concert, and their emotions were completely aroused.
Compared with the rookie game and the All-Star game, which consist of a whole game plus a timeout and a break of more than two hours, this type of game divided into four parts is more suitable for mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene, so there is a host people.
"Everyone welcome the contestants of our All-Star three-point contest tonight with the most enthusiastic cheers!"
"The first person to enter the field is the overlord in NBA history, the leader of the Celtics Paul... Pierce..."
"Next up is young star Quentin Richardson of the Los Angeles Clippers..."
"Veteran Spurs superstar Steve Smith..."
"Rookie of the Year Mike Miller..."
"New All-Star Steve Nash of the Dallas Mavericks..."
The host first introduces unpopular players to the stage when the fans are enthusiastic, so as not to be embarrassed when no one cheers, especially when the audience is quiet and there are only a few fans of the player's home team Cheering, looking even more embarrassed.
Several consecutive players that some fans may not know were introduced, and the cheers of the fans gradually weakened, and some who were still cheering were doing it to save face.
But the next few people, the cheers came back again!
"Next, welcome to Peja Stojakovic, the super artillery player of the Gorgeous King..."
The Kings have been ranked No. 1 in the league this year. Since the Pistons and Eagles returned to normal levels at the end of November, the Kings have never fallen from the No. 1 position. The gorgeous Princeton has attracted a lot of attention. As the Kings, apart from Chris Webber The strongest scorer outside of Peja's popularity in the past two years is not bad. Unfortunately, the Western Conference forward has two shameless guys who have been occupying the starting position. They are still super ticket machines. He doesn't even get many All-Star votes.
But at least during the peak period of the king in the past two years, Peja was very popular in North America. First of all, he looked like a Hollywood guy, and he played so well. Under normal circumstances, he was a gentleman without being provoked. Become a Croatian charity ambassador.
"Next, welcome to our strongest rookie, the super rookie who entered the All-Star Game in his first year in the NBA, Ace Liu!"
With the appearance of Liu Mang, the cheers reached the highest point since Mariah Carey sang the song!
It can be said that most of the people came to see Liu Mang, and it can be seen from an obvious thing.
After Liu Reck came out, a large group of sabotage activities that were definitely organized and premeditated in Liu Reg's view began.
At least a thousand fans all wore T-shirts with the Chinese characters "rogue" printed on their chests, and started sniping shots!
Immediately after the habitual scene came again, people like to watch the excitement, and the American imperialists are the kind of people who love to follow others except for the fighting nation. Slowly, nearly 20,000 people at the scene followed On the footsteps of the sniper...
Liu Mang hides in pain between Nash and the unhappy Pi Shiyi. Pi Shiyi really dislikes this rookie. Although his strength is good, he is indeed worthy of respect, but he really dislikes this pushy personality!
The commotion brought by Liu Mang robbed Ray Allen, who appeared in the finale, of the limelight.
Originally, Ray Allen wasn't that popular, but he was really good at three-pointers, and everyone wanted to see his performance in the three-point contest. However, if Liu Mang was a news maker, he wouldn't get so much attention up.
After the host introduced Ray Allen, people were still jokingly calling Liu Mang's English name, and doing the gestures of sniping, as if everyone did the same and refused to give up!
Finally, the introduction was over, and the staff began to place the game props, five shooting points, each shooting point 5 balls, four ordinary balls and one colored ball, the ordinary ball is 1 point, and the colored ball is 2 points.
First of all, the order of appearance, Liu Mang was lucky enough to get the No. 1 lottery.
A short host interview before the game.
"Ace, congratulations on getting the first chance to play. How are you? Are you confident that you will win the championship? Everyone is waiting for you to win the championship!" congratulations...
Liu Mang really wanted to say congratulations to your sister!
To be honest, in the three-point contest, Liu Mang is not good at this kind of game rules. He has to score 25 goals in one minute, which is already very difficult for Liu Mang, let alone in five positions.
Therefore, Liu Mang has been preparing for the first step of pretending to be a card since the afternoon!
That's right, Liu Mang is going to play tricks again next time!
I was complaining in my heart that these hosts love to congratulate everything. Liu Mang’s real operation was to look at the other participating players with a haughty expression on his face: "Everyone, are you ready to use any posture to face failure?"
In the past seven days, it seems that there are six days of 4D. You can ask for a monthly pass. Today and the next four days, there are at least 4D~
