Chapter 386: 384. Destiny? Really Messed Up! Crazy!

The big brother in the blacksmith shop wants to save face. Liu Mang feels that Wang Zhizhi's affairs are probably settled, so there is no need to worry about it anymore. Moreover, Wang Zhizhi should have a chance to perform when he goes to the Lakers, and he will not go to the Clippers like before. As a center, the Clippers want to be popular with Chinese players like the Rockets, so no matter what the lineup is, Wang Zhizhi has no chance to make progress.

Due to the riots in Los Angeles ten years ago, it is still under curfew. The party ended at 11 pm, and Liu Mang and his party returned to the hotel.

After taking a shower, Liu Mang was ready to sleep.

Suddenly, I felt as if I forgot something. After thinking about it, I realized that because of Carter's foot injury, he was still recuperating in the nursing home in Beverly Hills, and he hadn't got the bouncing fruit yet!

"Boss of the system, can you use the injury potion on Carter now?" Liu Mang asked in his heart.

"Ding... Vince Carter's injury is a serious injury. He needs 200 primary injury potions or two intermediate injury potions. The host has three intermediate injury potions. Do you want to use two intermediate wound potions?"

"use."

Liu Mang has nothing to hesitate, his own strength can definitely be developed, but in terms of jumping, he really doesn't think he can do it well. Maybe an 80 jumping can reach the sky. This is the limit of physical talent.

As the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and helping Carter heal his ankle so that his jumping and explosive power does not decline sharply, it is not a loss for basketball.

Although Carter's foot will recover this time, and he will be able to jump and dunk in the Nets in the future, he is no longer the flying man he used to be.

It's just that if Carter's jumping talent is not destroyed, will he still become the competitive old flying man he should have become when he gets old? Liu Mang didn't know about this, and it wasn't important.

It's just who is the one who picked up the bargain in the balanced mode? Liu Mang was very curious about this.

"Ding... The host uses two intermediate injury potions. Vince Carter's ankle injury will be fully healed in 6 months without leaving sequelae. You can use 100,000 superstar points for quick recovery."

"Ding...the host's superstar value is insufficient, and quick recovery cannot be used."

One hundred thousand... This is the most expensive injury that Liu Mang has ever encountered. Even if he had it, Liu Mang wouldn't use it! Let him stick with a walking stick for half a year!

I worked so hard to save up the intermediate injury potion for a year, and there is only one left at once, all benevolent and righteous!

Liu Mang said that this is an intermediate injury potion he used for the friendship of his friends, and it is the kind of good deeds that remain anonymous, and it is definitely not for the ultimate bouncing fruit! Absolutely not!

Liu Mang immediately asked: "Boss of the system, where is my bouncing fruit?"

"Ding... system evaluation, please wait."

Also evaluate? Haven't you assessed it before?

"It was just a preliminary assessment."

"Ding... The evaluation is over. The host's behavior has made the NBA's slam dunk history even more exciting. The host has received rewards: the ultimate bouncing fruit, and the Vince Carter dunk bag."

Liu Mang was so frightened that he sat up straight from the sit-ups on the bed without using his hands!

The ultimate bouncing fruit is here, and it even comes with Carter's dunk bag as a bonus!

"Vince Carter Dunk Pack: A collection of wonderful actions of the best dunker in NBA history, the minimum usage limit: bounce up to 80, and bounce up to 95 to unlock all moves."

"..." Liu Mang fell down again, there is still a limit for a dunk bag!

95? Come on! God knows how long it will take to get the bouncing fruit that can rise to 95 bouncing, practice by yourself... unless it mutates!

And if Carter dunks, he is invincible in the dunk contest, and the actual combat effect is mediocre. He averages less than one dunk per game. His dunk method that wants to show off his dunk ability to the fullest will be intercepted by his opponent seven or eight times out of ten. Come down, too straight forward.

But as long as one dunk is made, the top five goals will not be able to escape!

Liu Mang was not disappointed because the requirements for this dunk bag were too high. The gift is just like that, and the bouncing fruit is the most important thing! If you bounce yourself, you can also develop your own bouncing movements.

But there is a small question Liu Mang also wants to know: "Boss of the system, can you tell me who is the lucky one who matches the balance mode?"

"Ding... Vince Carter's balanced player is Tracy McGrady, and Tracy McGrady will fully recover from his next serious injury."

"Uh..." Liu Mang was stunned. This means that the only active player who can compete with Carter in talent is McGrady?

Does this mean that all the cousins ​​helped? Depend on! Liu Mang originally planned to gain experience by himself... No, how can the young master be the kind of person who heals others for rewards? He is helping a friend again, and the system is superfluous! It is abominable that I have not been able to help my friend again!

It’s just that McGrady’s fate is more rough than Carter’s. He suffered more than one injury. Although Carter bounced and fell and became a role player, he played for 20 seasons, and McGrady stayed away from the NBA early. .

Maddie... Liu Mang prayed for Maddie.

Sentimentality is not in Liu Mang's personality. For Maddy, he prayed to the God who manages Europe and the United States, that is, God. Liu Mang prayed for Maddy for three seconds, and immediately became alive again. Being so familiar with Maddy is equivalent to having a strange experience... …

No, this is not important! Liu Mang said that he definitely did not heal his friend because of the reward! Absolutely not!

Moreover, as long as they are normal players with basketball dignity, they don't want to see anyone get hurt. Although Liu Mang is very interested in rewards, he doesn't want to use this method as a means to improve himself.

Liu Mang began to plan how to use the bouncing fruit. After getting the bouncing fruit, he did not choose to use it immediately.

This is the decision Liu Mang made after thinking about it for a while after the end of the season, so he resisted the idea of ​​eating it immediately and put it in the system space.

Theoretically speaking, the closer one's physical fitness is to the peak, the harder it is to improve. Liu Mang's current normal bounce is 71, which is good, not excellent, and theoretically there is still room for improvement.

This ultimate bouncing fruit can add nine bouncing points at a minimum, and fifteen points at a maximum. Even if it is only nine points, the bouncing that Liu Mang's body should be able to train is basically over.

A defender of the yellow race, with a bounce of 80, is already considered the top of the top.

After using the bouncing fruit, he directly reached the peak of bouncing. If he wants to improve in the future, it will be difficult for Liu Mang. He can only see if he can get the bouncing fruit later.

But now that I am only 71, I can use this summer to improve my leg muscles, strengthen my leg strength, and try my best to increase my jumping. After I find that I have reached the limit, I can use the jumping fruit...

Liu Mang felt that his thinking was very stable, and he was such a genius.

...

When you come to Los Angeles, of course you have to play for a few days! You can't just come and do something and leave right away.

Alexia, Levia, Dinah, and Vanessa went shopping together. McGrady's wife Lerenda is due to give birth and can only rest at home. Liu Mang, Kobe and McGrady are at the Toyota Center, the training facility of the Lakers. to train.

Mai Di felt a little weird today, every time Liu Mang looked at him, there was some resentment in his eyes, which made Mai Di confused.

And when the training started, McGrady regretted why he had to train with two paranoids.

One is enough, two more!

Liu Mang and Kobe got along pretty well without basketball, but as soon as they touched basketball, the two started to flirt.

"I still need to practice a thousand three-pointers today, you can go to rest when you are tired." Liu Mang yelled at Kobe.

"One thousand? Oh...you are so lazy, I usually practice two thousand at this time." Kobe immediately countered.

"The one thousand I said is just one set. I usually practice four sets!"

"Then I will practice eight sets!"

"I'm in sixteen groups!"

"..."

"..."

McGrady looked at the two of them who had to practice more in each training, and felt so painful. Why should they train with these two!

Such a day is not a day or two. It seems that Liu Mang and Kobe, two guys who want to fight each other when they meet, quite like to train with each other. Every afternoon, Vanessa, Levia, and Alexis After Ya, Dinah and the others came back with big bags and small bags of small commodities, the two people's mutual rivalry training mode became quite harmonious because of the appearance of a woman. woman sees.

But the next day, after the women made appointments to do their nails, hair, etc., the two of them started training each other early in the morning.

Speaking of the results of these women's shopping, Liu Mang was puzzled. Few of the things they went shopping looked useful, and there were almost no expensive things, and they didn't even look like large shopping malls. It seems that I walked to some roadside stalls and bought some gadgets.

When drinking water and eating food to replenish energy between training sessions, Liu Mang asked this question casually: "You said why do they buy these things every time they go shopping? What's the use? I remember they said they were going to buy clothes when they came. , It’s been a few days of shopping!”

Liu Mang took the toad sunglasses that Alexia gave him, and said that he would wear them to the beach in a few days, who would wear them!

McGrady and Kobe have been here before, and they all laughed when they heard what Liu Mang said.

Kobe got married earlier and has more experience: "A kid who can't even go to a nightclub is a kid. When a woman buys clothes, it's just like a man picks a wife. There are many women who like and want to be with, but only the one who gets married in the end If you can have one, of course you have to try one by one, but if you try it, you may not like it, and you will not really make a move until you meet the one that you fall in love with at a glance and want to take home for the rest of your life."

Liu Mang covered his head in pain, this bastard said that he is a pervert so freshly and refinedly, what a talent!

But, brat, brat, Liu Mang is furious!

"Little kid is just kid, I think Kobe, you can't give birth to a son in this life, you can only give birth to a daughter!" Liu Mang cursed viciously.

"Asshole! Who said I can't have a son!" It's not that Kobe doesn't like his daughter, but he refuses to admit defeat. "I'll show you a son with Vanessa next year!"

"Oh, what if it's a daughter?" Liu Mang continued to rant.

"Hmph, your country can only have one child, right? It's so pitiful, I can continue to have children! I plan to have three children." Kobe said proudly.

"I guarantee that all three of your children are daughters!" Liu Mang continued to rage.

"impossible!"

"..."

"..."

McGrady looked at the ceiling, feeling so tired, these two guys started arguing again! Quiet training is not enough! Being teammates with these two guys is too stressful! But as teammates with either of these two guys, you don't have to worry about the team's lack of desire to win! You don't have to be so tired! Being their teammate is also very happy...

McGrady started wandering in the void again, not knowing where he was going.

After another wave of daily confrontation, the training continued, and Kobe and Liu Mang began to compete again who could shoot more.

Speaking of which, Liu Mang and Kobe have gained a lot from training. Although Kobe did not deliberately teach Liu Mang anything, Kobe is a master trainer. As long as you watch him practice and practice together, you will know what skills you still lack, and you can know your own shortcomings. Because Kobe's skills are really comprehensive, Liu Mang's skills are really simple compared to Kobe's, and he can always find some of his own shortcomings.

While practicing, a reminder suddenly sounded in Liu Mang's head.

"Ding...the system issued a long-term mission: Mandate of Heaven."

"Destiny: A mission purely by luck, if Kobe Bryant's first three children are all daughters, the host will be rewarded: the Destiny card will come out with one card; if one of Kobe Bryant's first three children is Boy, the host needs to face Kobe Bryant on live TV and say: You are the best basketball player in the history of basketball."

"Words can't be followed by cards: the host can make a prediction about a possible result in the derivation of basketball that is logical and objective, and it will definitely come true. Note: Possibilities that do not conform to logic and objective facts cannot be predicted."

wipe! Liu Mang looked at this task, isn't this a bonus! Who doesn't know that the shopkeeper of the blacksmith's shop is 0 out of 3 and all of them are daughters?

"Because the host has a child and Tracy McGrady's child will also be born, Kobe Bryant refuses to admit defeat and wants to have a child in advance, so the gender of Kobe Bryant's child may change."

Liu Mang listened dully to this wonderful historical change, damn it! This smelly blacksmith! This is called not admitting defeat? This is so perverted! This kind of thing has to be won or lost?

...

...

Time flies, Liu Mang has been in Los Angeles for eight days, and it is June 26th.

After training for a week, Kobe, Liu Mang, and McGrady are all a little tired, mainly from psychological aspects, so they take a day off and wait for the women who have been shopping, beauty, and shopping every day for many days to come back at night. Watch the draft together in front of the TV.

Will marry a woman who is a basketball player, it's hard to imagine she's not a basketball fan, Vanessa grew up in Los Angeles and is a diehard Lakers fan.

When Liu Mang listened to Vanessa and Levia chatting with them, he realized that Vanessa was only a sophomore in high school and was only 17 years old. Kobe abducted Vanessa home, and Liu Mang called it a beast.

Kobe immediately counterattacked, saying that Liu Mang's children are so old, even more beastly, and they had children at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

This...Liu Mang's refutation is not good, and it is not good if he does not refute. It is embarrassing to refute Levia, and it is embarrassing to continue arguing if he does not refute. For the first time in a quarrel, he raised the white flag to surrender, which made Kobe very proud.

McGrady, who knew the truth, didn't say anything. McGrady's wife thought the quarrel between Kobe and Liu Mang was very interesting, so she didn't say anything. That's it. The draft live broadcast by Time Warner Cable Sports in Los Angeles began.

It started with some pre-draft tidbits from the top picks.

Yao Ming caused a small sensation in the United States. On June 20th, the personal trial training was attended by the owners, head coaches, scouts of 28 teams in the league, as well as media from all over the United States, Asia, Canada and Europe. In the first trial training, Yao Ming's performance was amazing!

The 22-year-old Yao Ming is already very good in terms of skills alone. The only difference is the experience and confrontation with world-class top insiders and super centers. The embryo of a traditional super center.

But this is almost certain to be the big man of the Rockets. Except for the owner of the Timberwolves who did not come to participate, the owners of the other 27 teams are all envious.

However, if one person is in the limelight, it is likely to move other people's cakes.

Jay Williams, the No. 1 college student in the United States, publicly stated in an interview: "The big Chinese man is just because he is Chinese, he is so tall, and he has no strength. I am the best rookie in this class. , the Rockets don’t choose me, they will regret it!”

But this did not affect the Rockets' thinking. They publicly stated that what they wanted was Yao Ming, except Yao Ming did not consider using the No. 1 pick on anyone else.

Then Jay Williams taunted Yao Ming and the Rockets: "Look, the blind management of the Rockets, they will choose the next Olowokandi and Kwame Brown!"

Jay Williams is out of strength. Before entering the NBA, he offended the Clippers and Wizards, as well as Olowokandi, Kwame Brown, Jordan, and the Rockets.

Yao Ming's response was not as arrogant and arrogant as Jay Williams, but he was not cowardly: "Jay Williams? He is great, but the team with the draft pick will choose the best rookie."

The NBA always loves to make confrontational gimmicks. Among the 2002 rookies, NBA officials saw that Yao Ming and Jay Williams started fighting before they entered the league, so they simply put the 2002 rookie's opposing gimmicks on Yao Ming and Jay Williams. Jay Williams, and even helped them publicize their "grievances", adding highlights to the new season's rookies.

After all, the rookies in the past two years have nothing to fight for. In the 2000 class, Mike Miller won the best rookie without any suspense. The explosion takes away the suspense.

In the 2002 class, there are so many talents, NBA executives think that there will be a lot more rookies to watch this year.

After the pre-game highlights, David Stern appeared on the screen, and the draft began.

After some opening remarks, David Stern took out the envelope with the names of the first picks submitted by the Rockets after 3 minutes of consideration: "Ladies and gentlemen, the first pick, the Rockets The team selected, from the Shanghai Oriental Sharks Club...to die for..."

A large number of Chinese fans and the media at the scene cheered, and the Rockets fans who came to watch the draft also started to cheer.

It's a pity that Yao Ming didn't get the chance to participate in the draft. The Basketball Association's training camp has already started. Yao Ming went to accompany his national team teammates to lose weight, so he could only watch the live broadcast in the hotel.

Since Yao Ming didn't show up, the TV screens were full of highlights of Yao Ming's outstanding performances in the Shanghai team and the World Series during the three-minute waiting period. That kind of body shape can easily dominate the basket, even the 18-year-old in the McDonald's training camp in 1998. I saw Yao Ming rubbing against Tyson Chandler, who was almost 17 years old.

Destroyed last year's No. 2 show, this picture is well chosen! Although Chandler's performance in his rookie year was mediocre, his defense was still good, but he was completely overwhelmed by Yao Ming.

Liu Mang was slandering Stern for calling Chinese players so weird every time. At this moment, McGrady asked, "Ace, the big guy in your country seems to be very good! How does he compare to O'Neal?"

Seeing everyone staring at him and wanting to know the answer, Liu Mang really wanted to say that you guys are so flattering... O'Neill can even compete for the number one center in history.

It's embarrassing for me to ask this question, okay? You can't weaken the momentum of your own country, and you can't brag about it. Nonsense and bragging are two different things.

Liu Mang replied from another angle: "It's hard to say about the strength. For Yao, it is not difficult for him and O'Neal to score 20 points. Moreover, Kobe and your Lakers will definitely not be able to exchange O'Neal for Yao."

Liu Mang is playing hooligans, O'Neal is already 30, which team would be stupid to replace O'Neal with the core of the team, it is really stuck in the head.

It’s not that O’Neal is not good enough. He and Duncan are still the two best players in the league. It’s just that O’Neal’s age is there, and he can still maintain a peak period of three or four years. In fact, O’Neal passed the 05-06 season After that, and indeed immediately, it declined rapidly, and was squeezed dry by Pat Riley in the first two years.

McGrady probably understood what Liu Mang meant. Without O'Neill, it is estimated that O'Neill would not be as strong in his peak period in the future.

But Kobe was thoughtful, and became very interested in Yao Ming. He said that his rival knew each other best. Kobe knew that Liu Mang was not the kind of character who would just praise someone, even if he was from his own country. When recommending Wang Zhizhi, Liu Mang made it clear that although he is excellent, he is just an excellent substitute, not just talking nonsense.

Liu Mang can give Yao Ming such a high evaluation, Kobe has a strong interest in Yao Ming.

After another 3 minutes, the Bulls chose Jay Williams, the No. 1 college student in the United States, without much suspense. They criticized the Rockets and Yao Ming again during the interview after the selection. The American college students are really high-minded...

The draft went smoothly. After Yao Ming was selected, there was not much interest in the middle. It was not until the middle and end of the first round that McGrady, Kobe, and Liu Mang were selected.

There were also some choices that surprised Kobe and McGrady. For example, the Suns chose a high school and changed schools six times in four years. Amare Stoudemire, who went to seven high schools, Stoudemire Although it was listed as T1, the prediction was on the edge of the lottery, and it was actually selected in ninth place, which was indeed beyond the expectations of many people.

Then the draft continued, and when the Bucks selected the 21st pick in the first round, the first trade about draft picks began to appear.

The Bucks have two first rounds this year, one of which is the draft pick traded with the Trail Blazers. It was traded with Kemp that year, which is the 21st pick this year.

After the Utah Jazz upset with the 20th pick and selected Oklahoma's Ryan Humphrey, a projected second-round pick, the trade broke out during the Bucks' pre-draft deliberations.

The director cut the scene to the host next to him, and the host announced: "The Atlanta Hawks traded 2000 rookie DeMar Johnson, former Bulls power forward Toni Kukoc, and the 2002 second-round pick with the 45th overall pick. Get the Bucks' 21st overall pick in 2002 and Glenn Robinson."

Subsequently, the Eagles submitted a candidate for the 21st pick, and Tayshaun Prince was selected by the Eagles with the 21st pick in the first round.

This came so suddenly! The Eagles actually took Glenn Robinson's big contract!

Cang Le God!

Liu Mang was dumbfounded, the team must be crazy!

Kobe and McGrady were also shocked. Sometimes when people look at a team, they first look at the lineup. The Eagles actually introduced a 20+ scorer per game!

Sauce... After writing a chapter, I like to read the jokes and relax~ I am asking for a monthly ticket, and it is the last ten days to sprint for the classified monthly ticket list.

I hitchhiked out during the Ching Ming Festival, and when I arrived at a cemetery, I suddenly remembered that I forgot my wallet, so I got out of the car and called my mother to bring it over. I lingered while waiting. . . An old man next to me came over and asked me: What are you doing here, young man? I said: I will wait for my family to send me money. . . The old man didn't say anything, walked away silently, and then ran. . . uncle! You listen to my explanation. . .
