Chapter 674

After Liu Mang won the three-point contest championship trophy, he came to the seat next to the big guy Wagner. Little Lolita came over immediately and stared at Liu Mang with her big eyes shining with "worship".

"..." Liu Mang didn't want to hear what this little loli had to say, "Take it."

"Uncle is the best!" Dinah held the trophy and continued to watch the game.

Liu Mang watched Boykins of the Nuggets, Baron Davis of the Hornets, Marbury of the Knicks, and Payton of the Lakers start their preparations for the Skills Challenge. The game is still very suspenseful, the skills are very good, and they can pass the ball, so it will definitely be very intense, but Liu Mang's focus is not on the next game, but on the matter of awarding just now.

Because of Adam Silva's "spoiler", Liu Mang's original plan to pretend to be a king was not completed, but this is not important. The important thing is that the future president is really uncomfortable. So comfortable.

Some people, to put it bluntly, have a poor EQ, but a person in his 40s may not grow up, but at least he should learn respect. Adam Silva has frequently shown his face in public in the past two years After David Stern turned 60, Adam Silva ascended to the throne of vice president, and often came out to show his sense of presence. Sima Zhaozhi's heart is well known.

Adam Silva has fully demonstrated what is called "self". Of course, this is a small thing. People, including Larry Bird, think that Adam Silva is too excited. Before Adam Silva Various small awards are issued in the background, such as trophies such as the best of the month. It is the first time to present awards on stage, and I can understand that I am too excited.

But Liu Mang knew that this guy was absolutely self-centered!

Liu Mang can probably understand why David Stern, who was calling for retirement at the age of 60, delayed his retirement until he was in his 70s. He probably thought that after Adam Silva was in his 50s, this There might be some improvement.

And Adam Silva has been in the NBA for more than ten years, has accumulated abundant resources, and shot a group of president successors to death on the beach. His strong business operation ability is liked by all team owners. There is only one choice for Adam Silva.

It's just that Liu Mang knew that even if it took more than ten years for this guy, there would be no change, and he even took away the job of presenting the MVP award in the finals.

At this stage, Adam Silva just stole the limelight on a small award. Although the fans were very surprised, it did not cause much disturbance.

Liu Mang sighed, and didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Thinking about it, when Adam Silva came to power, he was already in his 30s. At the end of his career, it was very risky that he would not meet this master at his peak, otherwise I don't know how many moths I will encounter.

...

Baron Davis of the Hornets won the next Skills Challenge with a time of 33 seconds. His result was mediocre, not as amazing as last year's Liu Mang. It can only be said that the four contestants performed very well. This is the second Skills Challenge, and the players have already trained. Unlike last year, most people don't know how to play.

The results of the preliminaries were around 38 and 39 seconds. Payton and Baron Davis entered the final with 38.3 seconds and 38.6 seconds. In terms of intensity, they are more interesting than last year. The results of the preliminaries of the four players were extremely close. Marbury took 39 seconds, and Boykins only took 39.7 seconds.

In the final, Payton took 35 seconds to complete the race. Baron Davis won by only two seconds and won the championship in 33 seconds.

...

After the Skills Challenge, the Slam Dunk Contest ensued after a mid-song by Progressive Dark Rock, led by Grammy Award Winner Amy for Best New Artist.

The No. 1 pick in the preliminaries was played first by Ricky Davis of the Celtics who "choose James to assist me". For the first time, Ricky Davis tried to play a difficult game twice in a row. None of them succeeded, and in the end he could only turn around in the air and dunk with one hand 360 degrees, scoring 35 points.

It has to be said that whenever there is a slam dunk contest with a god-level performance in the second year, the judges have very tricky tastes. This year's slam dunk contest was due to the confrontation between Liu Mang and Carter last year, which raised the taste of the judges. It’s tricky, the players also understand this, so they want to use more difficult dunks, but they fail most of the times. Ricky Davis’s turn-around dunk is also okay. It is good to watch and has strong physical fitness, but only Get 5 7 points.

The second appearance is the Nuggets' tattooed birdman Anderson. The big man is always creative. He took off with a step in the top corner on the left side of the free throw line, flying in the sky with his head about to fly under the backboard. Along the way, dunk the ball into the basket with the right hand.

It is not difficult, but full of creativity, the referees gave a high score of 45 points.

The third player to play is Fred Jones of the Pacers. Compared with the other three, Jason Richardson is the dunk king in 2002, Birdman Anderson is the notorious villain on the court, Ricky Day Weishi is also very famous in the past two years. Fred Jones Jones is only a second-year backup shooting guard for the Pacers. The other three are already without stars. Know who this guy is.

Similarly, Fred Jones didn't have too many amazing performances. He played a step inside the free throw line and changed hands to receive a half-circle windmill dunk, imitating the actions Liu Mang and Carter had done.

There is no creativity, just that it is more difficult than Ricky Davis's dunk, and it is more entertaining for the judges than Birdman Anderson's pure creativity. Fred Jones scored the highest score of 46 points in the first round.

Jason Richardson's first dunk was simple, a windmill dunk with a vertical jump under the basket, and he only scored 42 points.

The dunk in the first round of the preliminaries was so miserable that many fans in front of the TV and at the scene had lost interest.

In the second round, Ricky Davis wanted to play a crotch switch to catch a two-handed dunk, but the dunk flew. He only scored 31 points and was the first to be eliminated.

Birdman Anderson's mentality is similar to that of Stoudemire last year. He dunked the best dunk on the first dunk, played a tomahawk and roared a few times, and won the hearts of fans who like him. After the cheers, he consciously walked to the ranks of cheering players in the VIP seats, quite self-aware.

The judges were also amused, and they actually gave a score of 40 and 85 points, and it is really possible to enter the finals.

However, Fred Jones' dunk in the second round was much more creative. He threw the ball on the basket and bounced it, then took off 360 degrees and turned around to catch the bounced ball and pulled it behind his head and cut it into the basket. The difficulty was quite high. , got the first full score in this dunk contest.

Jason Richardson saw that Fred Jones dunked such a beautiful dunk and scored a high score of 96 points. Birdman Anderson, who is temporarily ranked second, also scored 85 points. Paying too much attention to these opponents, Jason Richardson, who was going to save the good dunks to the finals, was forced to use the dunks of the finals in advance.

Jason Richardson tosses the ball high to the backboard, then drives to the three-point line, catches the ball in the air and steps down to change hands while turning 90 degrees to the left, swinging his hands from the bottom up to the back of his head , The back dunk smashed the ball into the basket.

The dunk in the second round of the preliminaries was finally worth watching, and the referee gave another 50 points!

Since Fred Jones only scored 31 points for a dunk by Ricky Davis, and a dunk like Birdman scored 40 points because he was funny because he was a big man, he was forced to use a well-prepared dunk in advance and put Jia Sen - Richardson's dunk also forced out.

Finally, this slam dunk contest is also something to watch! Fred Jones and Jason Richardson advanced to the final with combined scores of 96 and 92.

Two perfect dunks by Fred Jones and Jason Richardson made the atmosphere lively again.

After a three-minute break, the two contestants came to the field.

In the first deduction of the final, both of them want to win first!

When Jason Richardson faced Fred Jones in the final, he wanted to play a difficult game. The main reason was that he was out of ideas. He still wanted to play a difficult crotch, turn around and dunk, but he was not as lucky as the preliminaries. He dunked twice in a row, and the third dunk was helpless. In pursuit of safety, he could only play an ordinary crotch counter-handed dunk and scored 41 points.

Fred Jones's dunk idea is also average. It can only be said that he has good physical fitness and looks comfortable. He rushes to the basket from the left bottom corner to dunk the ball to the basket, retrieves the ball before dunking, and slides across the basket. It is not particularly difficult to dunk the ball in from the back, as long as you can jump with big hands, but because it was done in one go, the judges finally didn't have to watch the replay and gave it 47 points.

Jason Richardson's second dunk was also quite miserable, and he failed to make two consecutive dunks. In the third dunk, there was another dunk that he had used before, and he only scored 33 points.

In the end, Fred Jones scored 37 points with a turn and folded back dunk, and won the slam dunk contest championship with a miserable total score of 84 points.

The slam dunk contest is far less intense than this year's three-point contest and skill challenge. Originally, in the second round of the preliminaries, I thought there would be some amazing performances, but it turned out that both of them were forced to use the best dunks. The level of the dunk contest finals is terribly low!

The fans and players watching from the sidelines were also embarrassed, like a social rookie who thanked him early, and had to cheer loudly against his conscience, thinking that I might as well do it myself...

...

...

"Ding... The mission of the king of the NBA All-Star Three-Point Shootout Contest is completed, and the mission rewards skill: Quick Shooting Master Level 1."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for winning the three-point contest. The reward is 2,000 superstar points."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for winning the title of the strongest three-point contest champion in history and getting 100,000 rogue points."

"Ding……"

"Ding……"

Waking up in the morning, Liu Mang opened the system panel, and there were a lot of small reward reminders.

Liu Mang didn't care about this last night, the traffic jam was deadly, it was a bad decision to leave after watching the slam dunk contest, it was almost 12 o'clock when we got back to the holiday villa, chatted for a while, took a shower and fell asleep The two girls couldn't bear it after being tortured for two consecutive days. They lay next to Liu Mang and forced to act like a baby, especially Levia's acting like a baby. Liu Mang felt creepy and terrible, so Liu Mang didn't force him to do anything.

It's still the same as before, life hasn't changed much, Liu Mang likes this state very much, when he feels like it, he can have a show, and occasionally the woman will take the initiative, but it hasn't become corrupted by it.

In the end, the relationship will eventually become "life", and the best result is to be able to live together in the end.

Because of some different experiences together, Liu Mang, Alexia, and Levia came to the state of life one step faster, instead of yelling about love, love, etc., but early It’s over to life. Of course, I don’t refuse such a thing. If it feels like it’s coming, it will happen naturally. If I don’t, I won’t applaud for the sake of applause.

The three of them are still financially independent. After discussing it, Alexia decided to continue her career as a teacher, Levia continued her career in buying and selling houses, and Liu Mang played basketball of course.

Liu Mang felt the difference between American women and some women in China. They pursue their own rights, but they also understand their obligations. Most American women are relatively more self-reliant and self-reliant, and few of them will shout under the banner of women's rights. Making money is a man's business.

Either be an honest full-time wife without rights, or pursue your own rights to be self-reliant and self-reliant.

Liu Mang thinks this kind of relationship is very good, he doesn't need to think about it too much, but the relationship is a bit complicated.

Liu Mang looked at the rewards he got, and saw that there were 19117 superstar points left, 16 skill upgrade cards, 69 physical potions and 33 primary injury potions. Fortunately, there were two physical potions and primary injury potions. The standing items are still enough. When I played against the Timberwolves before, it was too much consumption, but after defeating Garnett, these are all worth it. In order to get the MVP and lay the foundation for the game, it must be won.

There are 16 skill upgrade cards, which can upgrade the newly acquired skills to level 3, and Liu Mang upgraded decisively.

"Boss of the system, use 15 skill upgrade cards to upgrade the quick shot master to level 3!"

"The host uses 15 skill upgrade cards to upgrade the quick shot master..."

"Ding... Quick Shooting Master Level 3: When catching and shooting, there is a 30% chance to ignore the impact of running, and the shooting speed will be increased by 15% without affecting the feel."

There is 1 skill upgrade card left...the superstar value is gone, and I have to play better and complete more tasks next.

The skills that have not been upgraded include high post skill level 1, hot pot feast level 3, fancy dunk level 3, rock-solid level 1, inactive turnaround jumper master, and quick shot master level 3 just acquired. far!

However, thinking about Jordan's second comeback in his 30s, he developed more abilities. Liu Wei thought that he might be able to reach that level in his 20s.

After thinking about the development path, Liu Mang turned off the system panel. There are still things to be busy today.

Looking at the "house slave" Levia, who was bargaining with the real estate agent, and Alexia packing her things, Liu Mang felt that life didn't seem to have changed much, but there were some changes.

Alexia's idea is that after buying this villa, it will be used as a vacation villa in the future, and there is no need to take so many things away. There are a bunch of sundries bought in Los Angeles these days. Put it away so that it won't get dirty with dust after a long time. If you don't buy it, you can ask FedEx to send it back.

After returning to the holiday villa last night, Liu Mang discussed with Levia and Alexia, and decided to buy this special villa for future vacations. Everyone loves Los Angeles, and so does Liu Mang. , It feels good to live in summer, and the house price is cheap now. Liu Mang remembers that in the future, Kobe will sell a villa that he bought for more than 2 million US dollars in the past few years, and it will be sold for more than 14 million in the future more than ten years later. If you don’t buy the American knife now, if you buy it later when you can’t play the ball, it will be expensive. The decline in the purchasing power of the American knife is far behind the rise in housing prices.

Last night, Liu Mang didn't continue to toss about. The main reason is that the regular season will continue in two days and the game will be played. Liu Mang didn't think about those things. Physical fitness is not a problem. Although Liu Mang can recover, the main thing is You can't let your energy disperse.

Liu Mang also likes this kind of thing, but he knows that he can't indulge in it. Gentle Township is a hero's tomb. Such examples are too common. Greedy about things like this.

After breakfast, Liu Mang said hello to Levia, who was bargaining, and Alexia, who was about to take Dinah and bodyguard Wagner out to buy Wagner two sets of better clothes, and then went to It's been a busy day at Staples Center.

...

At the Staples Center, Liu Mang, Stockton, Raheem, and Ratliff, who were about to laugh so hard, met up to take a makeup photo with other Eastern Conference All-Stars.

On the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the little blacksmith in Los Angeles finally showed up, but just like Adi terminated his contract with him, the NBA also canceled his All-Star Weekend public welfare activities. Liu Mang only took makeup photos and round table meetings in the morning I saw him for a while, but Liu Mang didn't see him in various activities afterwards.

Today's interview was very harmonious, there wasn't too much scolding or confrontation, it was surprisingly harmonious, none of the Eastern and Western All-Stars said they wanted to win the MVP or something, and they were all restrained.

This disappointed the media, and it was too far away from the much-watched All-Star weekend in the past two years.

Not only the events of the previous two days, but Liu Mang also whetted the media's appetite.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, during the two-hour All-Star team training, the little blacksmith appeared again, and saw Liu Mang, McGrady, Carter, Reid and the other three All-Stars of the Eagles gathered together in a happy and happy atmosphere The little blacksmith just said hello to Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, and Garnett from the Western Conference. He didn't go to training alone with the Western Conference All-Stars.

At this stage, the little blacksmith is quite pitiful, falling out with his teammates. The head coach Phil Jackson is not friendly to Kobe at all because his daughter has had the same experience of being bullied. I also have autism, and other people who participated in the All-Star Weekend obviously did not have too much prejudice against him. After all, the NBA is a big dye tank, mainly mostly black people, who don't care about this aspect, and have a high level of education. There are only a small number of white players, and there are even fewer yellow players, but the little blacksmith has limited his thinking from the atmosphere of the team, and he has fallen into a lonely world.

Seeing Kobe training alone, Liu Mang felt really pitiful.

But a poor person must have something to hate, and a hateful person must have pitiful suffering. Some people look pitiful, but in most cases it will make people feel sad and angry. But when it comes to the little blacksmith, Liu Mang didn't think that such a thing could defeat this guy at all.

So, seeing how pitiful the little blacksmith was, Liu Mang not only showed no sympathy, but made up his mind to catch this guy before he reached his peak, and torture him to death if he had the chance...

Originally, Liu Mang thought that this year's All-Star Weekend was just for fun, because there was nothing special to compete with this year. The two All-Stars of the Lakers playing at home can only behave with their tails between their tails because of the troubles caused by Kobe, so there is no one in the West. Backbone, this year's All-Star Weekend didn't look like anything special.

However, just after Liu Mang greeted Kobe and Liu Mang had an evil thought, the system prompt came...

"Ding... The road to the Black Mamba's rebellion has begun..."
