483. Chapter 481. When Routine Meets Routine

"Hahahaha, Ace, you did a great job. You actually beat Carter at the All-Star Weekend, but I'm curious about the dunk that Carter didn't dunk at the end." Jordan was happy but also a little regretful.

I am happy because the undefeated myth of Carter's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest has been broken. Although many people think that Liu Mang's victory is invincible, history is a story written by the winner. The winner is the winner, and the loser is the loser.

Liu Mang defeated Carter. From a certain point of view, it improved Jordan's status in the history of dunks. Originally, before Carter, the strongest dunk in history would be between Irving, Wilkins, and Jordan. After Carter was born, Carter's invincible posture alone dominated the title of the best dunker. Now that Carter's undefeated myth has been broken, Jordan, Wilkins, Owen and others have been placed in the best dunker. ranks of discussants.

And Jordan's regret, like the regret of all basketball fans now, is that he didn't see what Carter's last dunk was.

"Of course, I won't lose, at any time." Liu Mang of course had to pretend to be coercive at this time.

Today is the last day of the All-Star Weekend, and it is also the core of the entire All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game!

After participating in the autograph event and roundtable meeting with other All-Stars in the morning, at two o’clock in the afternoon, the All-Stars were divided into several groups and went to Atlanta’s orphanages, elderly activity centers, schools for the disabled and other places to do charity activities.

In a group of three, Liu Mang, Jordan and Pierce went to an orphanage to give gifts to children with the film crew of T.N.T Sports Station.

Of course, these gifts are all prepared by the players. Liu Mang’s are some toys that Dinah and Levia bought together a few days ago. Most of them are dolls and other toys, which cost Liu Mang thousands of dollars. .

Pierce and Jordan also prepared some gifts. The gifts chosen by adults and children are very different. Pierce’s are all some clothes, which is very in line with his experience of being born in a single-parent family and having two older brothers. He won the game until high school when he was young. Before the prize money, I hadn’t worn a single piece of new clothes except for the high school team jerseys, so I bought so many new clothes for the kids that I almost emptied out the kid’s clothes in the supermarket next to Phillips Arena.

Jordan bought a lot of educational toys, building blocks, puzzles and so on.

Everyone's gifts have their own family and personality characteristics, there is no distinction between good and bad, they are all a heart.

When it was time to give gifts to the children, the All-Stars were free and had time to chat.

Jordan was full of praise for the fact that Liu Mang used various routines to win the slam dunk champion yesterday.

Pierce has a cold personality and speaks very little.

Qiao Dan heard Liu Mangchou's shameless pretentiousness, and was about to tease a few words, when a fat man next to him interrupted.

"What I admire most about you, Ace, is your confidence."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang and Jordan looked at this big fat man strangely. He had only retired for more than two years, and he had already changed from a short hunk to a chubby Charles Barkley.

Barkley is a member of the filming team of TNT Sports, serving as the host of the group of two All-Star substitutes led by Liu Mang, the All-Star starter today.

At the beginning, Barkley didn't participate in the discussion between the two. When Liu Mang first met Barkley, the two greeted each other without any other emotions, just like the feeling of someone who had just met.

Liu Mang was not too upset about Barkley's confrontation with him everywhere, because he was always the one to show off. Although he was passive in showing off, his popularity did increase a lot because of it.

When Barkley, the loser of the bet, didn't deliberately embarrass Liu Mang or say bad things, Liu Mang didn't care about those things either.

After getting on the bus, Barkley also kept silent. When Pierce talked for a while as usual and then quieted down, only Liu Mang and Jordan were bragging. Barkley wanted to intervene, and now he finally did. Given the opportunity to interject, he interjected decisively.

However, this sudden compliment made Liu Mang, who was talking and laughing happily with Jordan, feel baffled, and Jordan looked at Barkley with strange eyes.

Has this fat man changed his gender?

impossible!

Jordan did not hesitate to ask Barkley why he behaved so strangely today. Barkley was hostile to Liu Mang more and more. As Barkley's friend and greatest enemy, Jordan knew this very well. He defeated Barkley many times back then. All made Barkley's resentment deeper, and the resentment has not been eliminated yet.

This time I suddenly showed my favor to Liu Mang, there is a ghost on the cliff!

Jordan looked at Barkley with great interest, what is this fat man going to do?

Liu Mang was stunned for a few seconds before choking out a sentence: "Thank you."

This time it was Barkley's turn to be stunned, he was so confident!

Barkley has always learned about Liu Mang through news, interviews, and the Eagles games he broadcasted. This is the first time he has met Liu Mang. Unexpectedly, Liu Mang is as confident as the rumors say.

And... how polite! Actually said thank you!

Still, it's a good start for Barkley.

"Oh, Ace, do you think I'm being polite?" Barkley asked.

Liu Mang looked at Jordan, and then at Pierce, who was distributing toys and clothes to the 67 children in the orphanage. No one cared about him, so he could only nod to Barkley, expressing that he really took it as a polite remark.

Liu Mang really took Barkley's words as polite words, because he and Barkley had no interaction at all other times except for the "confrontation" between him and Barkley in the nationally broadcast game, and Liu Mang didn't think he had any relationship with Barkley. Forgiveness, Barkley's bets are more of an entertainment effect, because those bets did allow T.N.T to compete with ESPN, the behemoth of the American TV industry, in ratings despite all aspects being unfavorable.

Who knew Barkley suddenly yelled: "You are wrong!"

Buckley's voice startled Liu Mang, Jordan, Pierce, and the videographer with the camera next to him, even the bus driver driving in front, the head of the orphanage, bodyguards, security guards and others. The bus driver was so frightened that he almost stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom. Fortunately, he is a professional, quick-witted and quick-responsive. He tapped the brakes lightly and slowed down the speed of the car.

The driver wanted to swear, but he held back when he saw a few burly bodyguards in black in the rearview mirror.

Liu Mang hurriedly said, "Hey, fat brother, your life is at stake! Tell me what you have to say!"

Liu Mang could see that Barkley must have some purpose, although he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but as he said, life matters!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Barkley hurriedly apologized when Liu Mang, Jordan, and Pierce were frightened, and then said, "I'm just angry at what you said, Ace!"

"Angry?" Liu Mang felt that the fat man had taken the wrong medicine today!

Pierce and Jordan also looked at Barkley, this fat man definitely took the wrong medicine!

"Of course, Ace, you are the pioneer of our NBA court dance, and you are the pride of our NBA court dance world!" Barkley decisively put a high hat on Liu Mang, and then sighed: "But only us NBA players Dance on the NBA court, I feel like it's a waste of your creativity, Ace, we need to promote it!"

"I've been thinking about how to promote NBA court dancing, and I finally thought of it. This All-Star Weekend is the best stage to promote NBA court dancing to the world. Ace, you think so too!"

Liu Mang finally understood, co-authoring that the fat man is so weird today was because of this idea, because he was afraid that he would not participate in the dancing session before the start of the All-Star Game.

This fat man... is really invincible even if he is the cheapest! Not only did he think of such a serious reason, but he also said that he was "thinking" for Liu Mang with a dignified appearance, and he also put pressure on Liu Mang with Jordan, the number one person in NBA history, so that Liu Mang could not refuse.

At this time, if Liu Mang only needs to say a word of approval, Buckley will immediately propose to dance a square dance together to promote Liu Mang.

Liu Mang completely guessed Buckley's little thoughts.

What a fat man!

In just a few seconds, Liu Mang guessed what Buckley was thinking, and Liu Mang's acting skills were not covered.

When Barkley was about to wait for Liu Mang to say yes and then throw out the condom, Liu Mang struck first!

"Wow, Mr. Barkley, you actually thought of going with me! It seems that the two of us are really destined! I have already prepared to promote this All-Star Weekend!" Liu Mang said excitedly .

"Ah...?" This time it was Buckley's turn to be surprised.

Before Buckley could react, Liu Mang continued to ask excitedly: "By the way, Mr. Buckley, what are your preparations? Are you going to dance yourself? Or did you invite someone?"

Barkley replied subconsciously: "I invited David Stern, and I am going to..."

Before Barkley could finish the rest, Liu Mang interrupted: "That's great, you are the hottest commentator in the American commentary world, plus the NBA president, the official big man of the NBA, you will definitely be able to make NBA courts Bring the dance to the whole world! How about you and the president also join my dance troupe!"

accepted? Is that a promise? Buckley also prepared a bunch of words to persuade Liu Mang. Unexpectedly, Liu Mang proposed it on his own initiative. Buckley said quickly, "That's great! Of course!"

"Okay, it's settled like this! Let's fight and dance then!"

"good!"

Pierce next to him looked at the agreement reached by the two, said something boring in his heart, and then continued to distribute gifts to the children. Due to Pierce’s childhood experience, he attached great importance to the distribution, because he was not taken seriously when he was a child. Allotment of new clothes and new toys are owned by his two older brothers, and what he gets are all eliminated by his older brothers, so now he attaches great importance to this.

But Jordan, seeing Liu Mang's abnormal behavior today, always felt something was wrong!

It seems that Liu Mang was tricked by Barkley and jumped in by himself, but Jordan just felt that something was wrong!
