Chapter 508: 506. Hot High School Student

One horizontal and one vertical, one horizontal and one vertical, and the last vertical...

Looking at the ugly calligraphy, Liu Mang didn't care, the main thing was to adjust the pressure in his heart and calm down his heart.

Liu Mang has always admired those compatriots who have practiced calligraphy patiently since childhood. It is really not easy to write good calligraphy.

They all say that words are like a person, and that "person" does not mean whether a person is good or not, but whether he has the patience and perseverance to do something.

A person who writes well may be a person who is deliberate, conspiratorial, and spends several years doing one thing, so he needs to be patient.

A person who can write a word well may also be a person who has far-sightedness and made a silent contribution to help the country's affairs, and it also needs patience.

Patience was easier to cultivate in ancient times, because there were few leisure activities and the pace of life was slow. In modern times, it is relatively more difficult.

But what makes Liu Mang ashamed is that he started to practice calligraphy almost at the same time. Little Lolita Dinah, who was in elementary school, unexpectedly relied on more spare time to practice better than Liu Mang!

Not only Liu Mang supports Dana's practice of brush calligraphy, but also Levia and even the school teachers support it, because in their view, it is art.

I couldn't understand these Americans more and more, and Liu Mang didn't go into it.

Yes, recently, Liu Mang began to cultivate his body and mind.

Half a month ago, I went to the mall to buy brush ink, which was quite expensive. Whenever I felt irritable, I practiced calligraphy at home.

As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy! No matter how difficult life is, there is nothing that a bowl of noodles cannot solve.

When Liu Mang was practicing calligraphy, Alexia came to cook a bowl of noodles for Liu Mang.

It seems that a few girls in my family have recently started to learn Chinese from simple conversations to watch Chinese TV dramas and movies.

These days, Chinese TV dramas are the best, and the Hong Kong dramas and Hong Kong movies that have just come back a few years are the best. They are still on the tail of the glory of Hong Kong dramas. A few girls spent money to find people who traveled to China to help them bring back DVDs. It's all Hong Kong dramas, and the movies are Hong Kong movies, and then Alexia learned a few things.

For example, the boiled bowl noodles in Ouchi Secret Detective Linglingfa...

It's just that Liu Mang didn't understand the style, and even disgusted that he didn't put chili, and almost made Alexia so angry that a bowl of noodles was directly placed on Liu Mang's head.

But Liu Mang was still very happy eating, Alexia saw Liu Mang eating happily, half of her anger disappeared...

After eating the noodles, after Alexia took the bowl away, Liu Mang came to the little girl who was still concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and saw the big Chinese characters "Liu Mang" on the paper, which was really well written ! At least better than Liu Mang, Liu Mang felt that he had written Chinese characters for 20 years for nothing...

Liu Mang thought of a sentence to write, and Dinah specially practiced the names of the four members of the family. Otherwise, it would be impossible to write better than Liu Mang. .

The life of a professional athlete, as Yao Ming said, is quite boring. Most of the time, there is nothing else to do except training.

So playing games has become a favorite recreational activity for many professional athletes.

For example, Gordon Hayward, who participated in the American University College Student Masturbation Competition, has such a beautiful girlfriend who does not practice well and plays masturbation every day.

There is also Yao Ming who gave Howard the nickname of Warcraft in China. Yao Ming's living habits are standard Chinese living habits, similar to Liu Mang. So Howard was beaten so badly, so the domestic commentators gave Howard the nickname of Warcraft. This nickname seemed domineering, but it was not meant as a compliment at first.

Of course, there are generally NBA players like Yao Ming and Hayward who play games at home and don’t go to nightclubs. They usually have a good family environment like Hayward, or overseas players like Yao Ming and Nowitzki. , usually white.

The black people who don't like to hang out are either Kobe, who practiced himself to death all day long, and didn't even go to the party with his teammates, or the rich family like Hill.

Often those who like to go wild, usually because their family background was not good when they were young, and they want to enjoy more when they have money. There is nothing wrong with this kind of thing.

Liu Mangsuan prefers to play games, but NBA players are not suitable for playing online games that require krypton gold. It takes too long, so CS, Dota, and LOL are so popular among NBA players. Now only CS, Liu Mang is really good. He was tortured to death by Jason Terry and Raheem. Dota and LOL don’t know when they will come out. He even wants to ask a group of people to help him make this game. He suffers from lack of money. To develop that kind of game these days is several times more difficult than when various game engines come out in the future. It can almost be described as infinite times. Without the emergence of the Warcraft game engine first, it is basically impossible to complete the Dota-like game.

Even if Liu Mang had money, he didn't intend to do this. This thing is an idea, and any game company can imitate it without breaking the law. It's better to wait for games like Warcraft to appear first, and then invest in one or Creative shareholding or something, saving money and convenient.

So Liu Mang thought of practicing calligraphy, not to mention how good it is, just to pass the time.

Practicing calligraphy really sharpens the mind. At least when you rest after training at home, you can calm down your heart and devote yourself to training better.

After yesterday's loss to the Bulls, he saw that Coach Kruger, who had been tight and forbidding the team to participate in any off-team activities, let the players go to the nightclub for a night. Although Liu Mang didn't go, he learned that , The team is now entering a new state, and the playoffs mode is about to start!

So this morning when Liu Mang woke up at 6 o'clock to train, he was particularly motivated, and when he practiced calligraphy, he felt good because he was in a good mood, although his handwriting was still ugly...

At noon, I had lunch with the three girls at home. Of course, it was the critical moment of the playoffs. Liu Mang didn't follow the girls to eat pizza or fried steak at home, but continued to eat grass.

Speaking of it, although the tight schedule in February and March has disadvantages, there are also advantages. The Eagles have an excellent personal fat rate. Liu Mang averaged 24 points per game in the first 17 games in March, and his personal scoring average in the season has increased to 19.1. Points, plus 3.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists.

Rahim played relatively few games in March, and the season data is still only 18.6 points per game, but he rebounds very well. This season, he has been rebounding very well, mainly because the team has more scorers. Most of the time, he is mainly responsible for defense and rebounding, and he has also entered his peak period. His average rebounds per game reached 12.3, plus 2.9 assists.

Jason Terry is the team's leading scorer, averaging 23 points and 4.1 assists per game.

All three are in good shape.

The Eagles' record has also stabilized. The best ranking is eighth in the East, but not sixth or seventh with a little chance to hit.

Now the number one in the East is 46 wins and 28 losses, and the Detroit Pistons are still 8 games away from ending the season.

The second is the New Jersey Nets with 44 wins and 29 losses, nine games away from the end of the season.

The third is the Pacers, who are 42 wins and 32 losses and are eight games away from ending the season.

The fourth is the New Orleans Hornets in the same division as the Eagles, with 40 wins and 32 losses, and ten games left to end the season.

The fifth is Iverson's 76ers, with 41 wins and 32 losses. The record is better than the Hornets, but they can only rank fifth.

The sixth and seventh Celtics and Bucks both have 39 wins.

The Magic, which is ranked behind the Eagles, has not lost hope of the playoffs. With 36 wins and 38 losses, the Eagles still cannot relax.

And the next opponent of the Eagles, the Knicks, is incredible. It has 33 wins and 40 losses. Whether it can get the top ten picks is a problem. Bad, it's really brilliant.

But it's a bit late to play the state, at this time the playoffs can't be hit, even if the rest of the games are lost, there is no possibility of the top five picks.

In the west, the Kings and the Spurs are still fighting for the first place in the league. The Spurs have 54 wins and the Kings have 53 wins.

The Mavericks are the third team in the league to break through 50 wins, just now 50 wins and 23 losses.

The Timberwolves have 43 wins and 30 losses, relying on the first place in the division, and sit firmly in fourth place in the West like the Hornets. The Lakers are ranked fifth in the West with 44 wins and 29 losses. Sixth, the Jazz ranked seventh with 41 wins and 33 losses.

The competition for the eighth position in the Western Conference has been fierce. The Rockets have a slight upper hand, with 39 wins and 34 losses, while the Suns only have 37 wins and 36 losses.

After ninth in the Western Conference, no other team has a playoff chance.

Except for the Knicks, the opponent of the Eagles, who are desperate to save face and suffer, the other teams that seem to have no chance of making the playoffs are all starting to collectively perform badly, trying to get a better pick. After all, it is the biggest draft year in the past seven years according to legend. The major media are predicting that this year's draft year may become a draft year with several superstars like the 1984 or 1996 generations.

In 1984 and 1996, stars like Kobe, Kevin Wesley, Stockton, Peja, and Nash could be found on the fringes of the lottery, so all non-playoff teams want to Improve the pick, and the team that may not even make the playoffs is still looking forward to being as lucky as the Rockets to get the top three picks.

And the teams that are already hitting the playoffs can only bite the bullet and continue to rush, there is no turning back.

After lunch, Liu Mang continued to practice mid-range shots in the afternoon and had a good night's sleep. The next morning, he drove to the airport to meet his teammates and headed to the richest city in the world where the Knicks, the last opponent in March, was located. ,New York!

...

...

After a nearly two-hour flight, Liu Mang followed the Eagles to New York and stayed at the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.

The traffic in New York is really adequate, even more exaggerated than in Los Angeles. The Eagles who are used to staying in Atlanta are really not used to it. After getting off the plane at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, it is only 8 miles, or 12 miles, to the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan. It took more than an hour to drive for about one kilometer. When we arrived at the hotel, it was already past one in the afternoon.

Just arrived in the room to put things away, Liu Mang was ready to watch TV and take a rest. This New York is simply not a place for people to stay. Compared with the imperial capital in China, although it seems not so congested, BJ is congested because BJ has too many big yards. The traffic jam in New York is really confusing. It gets stuck for no reason. Whether you are driving or riding in a car, it is very annoying.

But as soon as Liu Mang sat down on the sofa, Raheem, Jason Terry came along with two bodyguards, Barnes and Boozer.

"Hurry up, Ace, let's go! It's too late!" Raheem pulled Liu Mang away excitedly.

"Wait, it's too late, hey, wait until I put my shoes on!..."

...

The subway is a good thing. Even if it is as congested as New York and the domestic imperial capital, at least the subway will not be jammed.

There is a subway station not far from the Hilton Hotel. The Eagles and their two bodyguards have a smooth journey. Except for those secretly taking pictures, strangers dare not approach. Barnes is okay, he looks like a little ruffian, Boozer Er's face, which looked like a person from the Middle East, was extremely lethal. If he hadn't known that he was an Eagles player, someone might have called the police.

Ten minutes later, a group of five from the Eagles arrived at Penn Station, where Madison Square Garden is located.

Liu Mang has always been curious about why the subway station under Madison Square Garden, a landmark building in New York, is called Penn Station. Carried toward Madison Square Garden by Jason Terry and Raheem.

If it weren't for so many people around, and there might be islanders, he would have almost let out a Jamaican cry.

Why did these guys "kidnap" him to Madison Square Garden?

Could it be that he wants to "surrender to the enemy" and give him to the Knicks to sell his friends for glory?

But when he got to the ticket gate and saw the huge billboard, Liu Mang finally knew what happened!

The official information is that he is 18 to 19 years old, but people think he must be a future thirty-year-old man who "lied about his age". A large poster stands upright, McDonald's All-Star Game!

An exhibition game that gathers all the physical fitness men among high school students in the United States!

The McDonald's All-Star game is starting to fade after high school students are not allowed to participate in the draft in the future, but until then, the event has always been a super popular event before the draft.

For example, Garnett became famous in the 1995 McDonald's All-Star Game and was selected by the Timberwolves with the fifth overall pick.

Tracy McGrady also made a name for himself by defeating Lamar Odom in this event.

In addition to these high school students who became famous in the NBA after finishing the game and were selected by high picks, there are also many high school students who have been favored by NCAA schools through this game, such as O'Neill, Webb, Stackhouse, etc., the Eagles Last season's backup point guard and now the Magic's starting point guard, Jacqui Vaughn, is the 1993 McDonald's All-Star MVP.

This event really became popular because the venue was moved from Washington to Madison Square Garden, the mecca of basketball.

Regardless of the Knicks' record, Madison Square Garden will always be the easiest place to make stars.

This McDonald's All-Star Game may be the most watched game since its inception, reaching the pinnacle of this event! Because they invited LeBron James to participate.

However, as the saying goes, prosperity must decline. After this session, the next session was not as good as the next one. After the last session in 2010, it was announced that the event would be stopped. After a few years, McDonald’s became the Golden Arches... …

Raheem took out 5 courtside tickets, and a group of five people entered the arena in advance through the VIP channel.

Looking at the crowded ticket gates because of a high school student, and seeing the ticket price of 2,300 US dollars on the sidelines, Liu Mang felt incredible! This LeBron James is so popular before he entered the NBA?

Liu Mang knew that James was very popular in high school, but he didn't expect it to be so popular!
