Chapter 241
The slam dunk contest, after the classic year that destroyed the project in 2000, no one was willing to participate in the 2001 dunk contest. Desmond Mason won the slam dunk championship, and almost no one remembered the slam dunk championship of this year. who is it.
The 2001 slam dunk contest ended disastrously, making NBA officials unable to sit still. Since its inception, the slam dunk contest has always been the best stage for popular dunkers.
So, in this year's slam dunk contest, Stern played a weird game, dunking by drawing lots.
Put the photos of previous slam dunk kings on a lottery circle, and the participating players go up to draw lots, and whoever is drawn will imitate that person.
This made Francis, Jason Richardson, Desmond Mason and Gerald Wallace, who had prepared a lot of dunks, confused.
In the end, this slam dunk contest became a competition of who can jump!
Isn't that the only way? Those dunk moves are all learned now, so I can only jump better than anyone else, and have more time to imitate the moves.
Jason Richardson, who finally got the slam dunk action of Dominique Wilkins, the essence of human movies, easily completed two imitation dunks by relying on the explosive bounce of the famous star, and won the slam dunk king without any suspense.
Imitation, Dominique Wilkins's dunk is really good-looking, but it is only an imitation after all.
The dunk is very good, and it looks good when you watch it, but Jason Richardson, who won the slam dunk champion, doesn't pay much attention to it. What people recall is the classic slam dunk contest in the 1980s.
For example, Liu Mang, he really felt that this slam dunk contest did not look like a celebration of newcomers, but rather like a classic review of old photos, which were still gif versions.
The comprehensive competition on the second day of the All-Star Weekend ended perfectly. In previous years, the slam dunk contest was the most popular. Last year, nothing was popular. This year's slam dunk contest is actually pretty good, but it is Liu Mang who is popular!
Liu Mang won all the first four games of the All-Star Weekend that he participated in!
This time Liu Mang is really famous all over the world!
...
"One, two, three, four! Lots and lots of trophies! They're all Dinah's!"
Seeing a certain little loli fiddling with the trophies back and forth, Liu Mang was annoyed and funny, all the prizes he had worked so hard to get were taken away.
Originally, Liu Mang was eating the breakfast bought by the beautiful senior sister, looking at a certain unconscious little loli with resentment, originally thinking about buying a big house in the future, and using a room for his trophy... You can't bring a little loli in a competition that wants to win prizes!
It's the last day of All-Star Weekend!
After breakfast in the morning, Liu Mang, Levia, Alexia, and Dinah took the sightseeing bus that picked them up from the hotel entrance and went to the Constitution Center in Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was delivered—Philadelphia Independence Palace, where the first American Constitution was drafted, now the real political center has long been transferred to Washington, DC, and it has become a tourist attraction.
Motor vehicles are not allowed to enter the pedestrian street outside the Independence Palace. This is a pedestrian street with a length of 7 kilometers. There are various commodity stores and restaurants, as well as many snacks from all over the world.
It took two or three hours in the morning, and Liu Mang took three excited beauties, big and small, for a stroll.
Speaking of the United States, the most special thing that makes Liu Mang feel great here is that many fans recognize him. After all, he is the most popular NBA player in Philadelphia in the past two days, but he is with his "family" When I came out to play, except for the clerks in the small shops I visited who asked for a group photo after they finished shopping, not many people came up to harass them.
This probably has something to do with the characteristics of the United States. No one knows whether a gangster boy who happened to meet on the street will become a president or a superstar in the future.
At eleven o'clock in the noon, Liu Mang and his party arrived at the port on the Delaware River in Philadelphia. They ordered lunch at a cruise ship restaurant.
This cruise ship named Independence was refurbished from a decommissioned military transport ship. It is a well-known cruise ship restaurant in Philadelphia. The key is that the price is still very cheap. Lunch for four people is less than $200. There is also Philadelphia. Signature dishes are cheese beef sandwich and cheese beef burger.
It is said that the father of a certain man wearing the No. 8 jersey named this man because he was a Philadelphian who loved eating beef and went to the island country.
Enjoying delicious food and visiting the scenery around the unique American river, the pleasant lunch time passed in this way.
...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Mang came to the Wachovia Center to participate in the round table meeting before the All-Star Weekend.
It's not the kind of meeting where 24 all-stars gather around a table, but each of the all-stars has a round table that is not particularly large, and sometimes even a square table, and the media chooses people to interview.
Liu Mang came to the Wachovia Center, first signed the basketball and jerseys to be given to the fans in the evening, and took his Eagles jersey for tonight's All-Star Game.
When Liu Mang was doing these things, it was very unfortunate that he met his two biggest "enemies", Kobe and Garnett, and the two happened to form a team to sign the jersey.
Garnett saw that Liu Mang was sullen and silent, but Kobe was still arrogant: "Rookie, don't get in the way, today is not your time!"
Liu Mang was also unceremonious: "Yes, I know, today is Iverson's time, right, he is the MVP."
It's Iverson again! Mention MVP again! Kobe has never felt so bad for a rookie!
Taking a deep breath, Kobe calmed down the anger in his heart: "That's right, today is the stage for the superstars, rookies should watch our duel on the sidelines!"
After Kobe finished speaking, he took Garnett and left.
Seeing Kobe and Garnett get mixed up, Liu Mang felt a little strange. How could these two guys get together?
McGrady's gentle personality can complement Kobe. Liu Mang can figure it out, and he complements Gasol and Kobe, but Kobe and Garnett are both paranoid. all the way.
But think about Garnett and Madman Sprewell, who can get along with extremely bad personalities, and rely on two veterans in their 30s to be able to play to the point of winning the MVP, and Kobe... It seems that it doesn't matter if they get along well. fault.
It seems that these two almost became partners in the summer of 2007, but the Lakers are not willing to send Bynum, only willing to give Odom and Kwame Brown and Luke Walton, etc. Of course, these few The value of the player is also higher than that of Al Jefferson at the time. At the age of 26, Odom’s trade value was much higher than that of Al Jefferson, who averaged 16+10+5 per game. He also averaged 11+5+ per game 5. Luke Walton, a high-quality player who has not been injured and is only a middle-level contract, but the executive president of the Timberwolves at the time was a famous Celtics. McHale decisively chose to help his old club and exchanged Garnett for a A three-year temporary worker, after two years of playing in the Timberwolves, Al Jefferson made a fuss about leaving. In the end, the Timberwolves basically sent Garnett out for nothing...
If the 2007-08 season was poor and winning Love was a reward, McHale would not have been fired in the 08-09 season.
But this little blacksmith who can speak four languages is too contemptuous!
no! Must ask big brother for help!
Liu Mang began to look for the trace of the eldest brother——Brother Alun, where are you!
...
...
...
...
"What's the matter with you?" The tone was low.
"I do have something to trouble you today, big brother." There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Oh? Have you encountered any trouble again? Little brother."
"Yes, it's very troublesome. Without your help, big brother, little brother can't finish it."
"They're all brothers, tell me, big brother will definitely help if he can!"
"Allen!" Liu Mang hooked Iverson's shoulder enthusiastically, "Allen, you won the All-Star MVP last year, right?"
"That's right, except for the championship MVP last year, all the MVPs are mine!" Iverson is very proud of this, and it is the greatest achievement of his career so far.
Liu Mang was still very enthusiastic: "Then Aaron, do me a favor, help me win the MVP today, okay?"
Iverson looked at Liu Mang in astonishment, this rookie is really speechless and endless!
He actually wanted to win the All-Star MVP!
Don't even look at who are in the east!
I won’t say that Carter didn’t participate, besides Kidd, Jordan, and Iverson himself, even if Kidd didn’t have the possibility of winning the MVP, this guy who wants to save face won’t fight for it, after all, his own The offensive ability is limited, and Mr. Qiao has already won it several times, so he probably won't fight for it.
Iverson felt that even if he didn't compete, the Eagles still had two All-Stars! From Iverson's point of view, Raheem is Liu Mang's boss, so he wants to compete with the boss for MVP?
"Brother Allen, Sharif and Jason will help me, and Tracy will help me too, Michael... I can go to him and talk to him, it should be fine, I just need you! If you say a word, others will definitely help! "Liu Mang's calculation is good! Tell Jordan that he wants to kill Kobe, Jordan must laugh and help.
Raheem and Jason Terry both don't care about this, their goal is just to make the All-Star.
McGrady is easy to talk, Mourning is an old man, and Ray Allen is a good man.
Then there are only Pierce, O'Neal, and Mutombo who have a normal relationship.
The important thing is Iverson. As long as Iverson says something, his partner Mutombo will definitely not object. Pierce... the All-Star MVP is not his turn. Good relationship with Iverson.
So no problem!
As long as Iverson is dealt with, he will have enough possession of the ball.
Of course, the main thing is to rely on a group of people to defeat the opponent! Defeat that damn fine little blacksmith in the bib, sunglasses and black knit hat!
"Okay, but Ace, are you sure? I heard that the West is ready to prevent you!" Iverson asked.
"I'm ready to accept the cruelest game, the cruelest defense... so it's up to Brother Allen! You go to attract firepower, and I'll just shoot from behind!" Liu Mang said sonorously, not at all. blush.
