He had a quadruple-double, he scored 80 points but the opponent scored 90 points, he failed to prove that he was a stronger scorer after scoring 60 points in three quarters twice, and he was teased by the opponent during the All-Star Weekend that he couldn't do it without a big center...

Kobe recognized this last one. After the 2004-05 season that tortured his soul, his desire for helpers was greater than his desire to lead the team himself.

It's impossible without teammates. Duncan had David Robinson in his early years, and later he had a troika; Liu Mang had Raheem and Ratliff in his early years, and later McGrady, Kwame Brown, and Jason...

Terry and Rasheed Wallace.

Originally, it had been so long since the All-Star Weekend, and Kobe no longer paid much attention to his frustration and dissatisfaction. His current goal was to secure second place in the Western Conference and make a difference in the playoffs.

but……

Current situation……

"Look, Kobe, I have a 90% chance of winning the MVP. Big Yao is not even on the list. Only four of us are on the list..." Liu Mang said to Kobe while holding the Atlanta Daily newspaper.

Kobe is so angry!

When he saw the news yesterday, he wasn't even angry. This is to be expected. He would have felt strange if he didn't win the MVP after winning 70 games.

But now, during dinner, Liu Mang showed off with a newspaper, and Kobe wanted to flip the table!

But Kobe held back. Liu Mang's hospitable mother invited them to dinner. Kobe attached great importance to education. After all, he was a white man with a black heart.

Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming were speechless towards Liu Mang. This kid wanted to make Kobe lose his cool all the time.

This year’s MVP prediction list is too scary!

There are only four players. When Liu Mang won the MVP last time, although Liu Mang was also the unbeatable number one, he still had a normal prediction list of ten people. Even if the chance was a few tenths of a percent, there were still ten names.

But this time, there are only four names!

Stars such as Yao Ming, O'Neal, Francis, James, Iverson, and Wade, who have performed well and have been in the top ten of the MVP rankings for a long time, are not on the prediction list, which means there is zero chance!

Yao Ming even felt that putting Nash, Kobe, and Duncan, the three best players besides Liu Mang, on the prediction list was just to prevent the prediction list from looking so... monotonous...

The great god began to behave like an emperor, eating big mouthfuls of food, treating the food in his mouth as if Liu Mang was biting crazily, and gnawing on a piece of roasted lamb leg, as if he was eating Liu Mang's meat.

Seeing Kobe's expression as he stared at Liu Mang eating wildly, everyone here wanted to laugh, but felt that this was too inappropriate. Liu Mang's thigh was kicked several times by Levia who was sitting opposite, and Liu Mang hurriedly

I clamped that foot and almost kicked my little brother.

The little Loli was still kind-hearted. When she saw Kobe eating so fast, she brought a glass of water to Kobe and said, "Uncle Kobe, eat slowly, be careful not to choke. Just drink some water."

Kobe wiped his mouth with a napkin, took the water glass and thanked him: "Dina is so good, compared to some people..."

Kobe didn't finish his words. He was surprised. How could someone like Liu Mang have such a lovely daughter, and actually gave birth to a son! He was going to be so angry!

Kobe, who missed two shots from the field, was very unhappy and decided to work harder with Vanessa. The next one must be his son! He must not lose!

Kobe still remembers that Liu Mang "cursed" him to have three daughters in a row. Although Kobe liked his daughters very much, he refused to admit defeat!

…

A pleasant dinner was over. After Kobe finished the meal and apologized to Liu Mang's parents and girlfriends, he left early. He didn't want to see Liu Mang's face.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi stayed to sit for a while. They had something to discuss with Liu Mang.

"Ace, have you been contacted by the national team? Will you participate in the World Championships in Japan this year?" Yao Ming asked.

"Of course, I may not go to other world championships, but to play against Japan, I have to go!" Liu Mang replied without hesitation.

A few days ago, the national team contacted Schwartz, and Liu Mang chose to participate without hesitation.

Although this year's World Championships was overshadowed by the Football World Cup worldwide, in China and the United States, the Basketball World Championships had the upper hand. Americans don't like football that much. The football in their minds is rugby. Domestically, football

It is getting worse and worse. People originally thought that reaching the World Cup in 2002 was the moment when the national football team rose. Unexpectedly, that was actually the peak of the national football team...

When one major sport is the most popular in the world to compete for medals, and another major sport cannot even enter the World Series, sports fans naturally have a tendency.

After Liu Mang chatted with his father and opened up his heart, he had more goals to work hard for. He found many goals for himself so that he could not slack off. One of them was to make basketball truly the number one sport in China!

The World Championships in Japan, a country where people have a deep hatred for their country and home, took this opportunity for Liu Mang to start promoting the sport of basketball in the country!

It just so happens that this year's World Championships is when the American team is at its weakest. The Americans have lost two consecutive World Series and still don't take other countries seriously. Liu Mang is going to take this opportunity to make a big move!

"That's great. With you here, Ace, and the United Arab Emirates, we have a chance to enter the top four again this time, and we may have a chance to win a medal..."

Yao Ming was very happy when he heard Liu Mang's response, and Wang Zhizhi was also very excited. Compared to Liu Mang and Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi was actually happier and more excited. After all, he is a player with a military background, and he has a greater sense of collective honor for the national team than Liu Mang.

Much better than Yao Ming.

Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi chatted with him for a while about the World Championships in the summer, and then left.

For the World Championships, as long as the core lineup of Liu Mang and Yao Ming can compete in the NBA if they are combined, the Chinese team can be guaranteed to be among the top five in the world. Except for the NBA, no other country has two NBA All-Stars.

A player of the same level, the role player is a bit inferior, but he is definitely stronger!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi just wanted to come to Liu Mang to confirm in person after the national team began to recruit players and before the training list was announced.

Now Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi's goal is the NBA playoffs, and the target they want to beat the most is Liu Mang, the strongest teammate of their national team!

The national team belongs to the national team, and the NBA belongs to the NBA. There is no conflict at all.

Liu Mang watched Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi get into the taxi that came to pick them up with dreams of winning medals, and thought of the World Championships in the summer...

"The medal..."

Liu Mang looked at the "Light of the Country" buff in the system. Compared with the dreams of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, what Liu Mang wanted to do was even more exaggerated...

…

…

A focus battle before the playoffs!

The Hawks and Lakers played against each other for the second time this season. It was regarded by the league as a battle to increase the attention of fans before the Hawks' playoffs, and it was also the most watched game before the Lakers' playoffs.

After the Hawks beat the Lakers, the four opponents are the Bucks, Raptors, Jazz, and Knicks. Most of the four teams were the teams that competed for the No. 1 pick last season. It is clear that the Hawks can win in the last few games of the season.

Drilling tactics, the previous wave of consecutive games between the Hawks and the Mavericks, Spurs, Cavaliers, 76ers, Suns, Lakers and other strong teams was obviously to build up the excitement for the playoffs.

Every time Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant play against each other, American fans are very excited and full of things to watch.

Domestically, publicity for another Chinese derby also started early, and it was even more aggressive. The domestic title was "Preview of the Finals."

However, the players of both the Hawks and Lakers really regarded this game as a preview of the finals. The Lakers may only be targeting the Hawks, while the Hawks regarded the previous games with the Mavericks, Spurs and today's game against the Lakers.

All the games were regarded as early battles with the opponents in the finals, so I was fully prepared.

On April 11, at 8:10 p.m., 20 minutes before the game started very late, Liu Mang entered the Phillips Arena and felt a look as cold as a poisonous snake from the opposite side.

Liu Mang likes to kill snakes the most. His name was actually given by his father who stepped on a small snake. This is unbearable. Now Liu Mang wants to fight a snake when he sees one.

As the saying goes, you can hit a snake within seven inches. Kobe's seven inches lies in the fact that he is unreasonable and loses his cool easily. Even though he has many outbursts when he is not calm, in fact, when he is not calm, he will

There were a lot of screw-ups in the game, half vs. half. There was a crazy game where I scored 80 points on 26 of 40 shots, and there was also a feat where I scored 50 points on 17 of 48 shots.

After training yesterday, Liu Mang specially invited Kobe, Yao Ming, and Wang Zhizhi, who were in Atlanta at noon yesterday, to his home for dinner just to anger Kobe.

As for the effect...it seems to be average. Liu Mang feels very sorry. This black snake has already gained immunity and its psychological quality is getting better and better.

Liu Mang did not receive a task prompt in today's game, which felt a bit unexpected, but it is not without tasks. Liu Mang also has the task of suppressing Kobe. Every time he swept Kobe in the regular season, he would get a pawn from Kobe.

Season player cards.

Liu Mang has used Kobe Bryant's star cards several times, and has improved every time. This guy's basic skills are so solid, and Liu Mang can learn something every time.

However, compared to Kobe's annoying star card last season, which actually declined in strength, as well as the 02-03 season star card and the 99-00 season star card that were not that strong at the beginning, this season's ability evaluation has been broken.

The hundreds of Kobe Bryant star cards obviously made Liu Mang even more happy.

Having a special version of Kobe Bryant's star card that can be used throughout the game does not mean that Liu Mang doesn't want this ordinary 5-minute version of the star card of an era-class superstar.
