"Ace, it's so boring. Why did you borrow the pot?" Emmanuel came to Liu Mang's room and just when he started to complain, he saw Liu Mang and the waiter setting up pots, induction cookers and other things.

It seems unlikely that they can beat the Spurs tomorrow. The two No. 1 picks and the twin towers are second only to O'Neal in terms of dominance among the West's interior lines. If it weren't for the fact that the outside line is a bit worse, they can really compete with the Lakers. It's a pity.

Young general Avery Johnson was 36 years old after last season and went to the Nuggets to pursue his last big contract. Now there are only two players on the entire Spurs team averaging double figures in points per game.

For this reason, the Spurs really can't say they are any better than the Hawks. They are top-heavy by standard. Before Parker starts to take off next season and Ginobili joins, this season's Spurs will probably be their most difficult year after acquiring Duncan.

, is really grinding the defense to death.

People's impression seems to be that the Spurs are stronger, but really compared to the record, the Hawks with 20 wins and 9 losses are better.

The Spurs' current record is 18 wins and 11 losses, ranking fifth in the Western Conference after the Kings, Mavericks, Timberwolves, and Lakers.

When playing against a strong team, of course you have to play well if you can. Coach Kruger will not let go of this opportunity to hone his players. Of course, it would be better if he can win.

Therefore, after arriving in San Antonio, Coach Kruger ordered the players not to leave the hotel, but to stay in the hotel.

It's okay to play in other places. Here in San Antonio, the head coaches of every team are very afraid of the women here!

San Antonio has always been regarded as a small city by many people, and of course it is true to say that it is relatively backward. The largest industries are the tourism industry in aboriginal settlements, animal husbandry and tractor production. The most famous tractor production city in the world is here.

But it is indeed not a small city and has a large population. In terms of city area and population alone, one ranks 11th and the other ranks seventh in the United States.

But it is indeed lagging behind.

A backward city with a large number of people naturally has a lot of gray industries, and then this is a mixed city with dozens of ethnic groups such as Hispanics, Latinos, Aboriginals, Mexicans, etc.!

Although the public security is not very good, there are all kinds of beauties. The players may not like to stay here for a long time, but they are naturally itchy to come here once in a while.

So Coach Kruger ordered no going out...

Then a group of bored people either borrowed computers to play CS and StarCraft, or played on Famicom. Emmanuel got bored playing games and came to Liu Mang, and found that Liu Mang was tinkering with some random things.

thing.

"It's boring, let's cook!" Liu Mang responded angrily.

Damn the system, you want me to open a Sichuan restaurant after retiring, and the special dish will be egg fried rice?

"Ace, you can actually cook? This pot of yours is so strange, why is it so big?" In Emmanuel's impression, pots are only used for frying eggs, or at most steaks, which are all small.

The frying pan, the one Liu Mang asked for is the larger one that Asians here often borrow when they travel.

"Chinese food!" Liu Mang replied casually.

"Cool! I like Chinese food the most, I want to try it too!" Emmanuel found something interesting.

Liu Mang rolled his eyes, "You won't like anything you eat! It's all fat as a ball."

But it's still so flexible, damn it!

Speaking of which, Liu Mang had not eaten authentic Chinese food for a long time. Sichuan food was not bad, and he cooked it himself. Under the horrified eyes of the waiters, Liu Mang asked them for help and went to Chinatown to buy things like intestines. Of course, it was just a tip.

It only cost 100 US dollars, otherwise people would really not go.

Emmanuel has been looking forward to it, watching Liu Mang wash the pots and dishes, and prepare some condiments that he has never seen before, or that he never expected to see. The condiments bought by the waiter are a bit uneven, but that's fine.

That's enough. I'm in a foreign country and Liu Mang is very grateful to be able to get these things. The tip of 100 yuan was not in vain.

But Emmanuel's expectations stopped when Liu Mang took out the core items of the dish he was going to cook.

When Liu Mang took out the large intestine bought from the supermarket in Chinatown from the box, Emmanuel's eyes changed from anticipation to shock. When he took out the pork loin from another box, Emmanuel

Er's eyes turned to fear, and when the pig heart was taken out, Emmanuel began to tremble.

"This...this...this...is this kidney, intestines and heart? Shall we eat this?" Emmanuel's trembling mouth stuttered.

"Yes! It should be delicious!" Liu Mang said with a smile. He still trusts the things produced by the system. The cooking methods of the hot sausage, hot kidney, and braised pig heart in his head are perfect in every step. It has been a long time since he made them.

After eating it, although I want to compete with the system bayonet for red, but really speaking, it is not bad to try the food of my own country. What is cooked in the Chinese restaurants outside, except for the name, is not comparable to the Chinese food.

Liu Mang smiled a little nostalgically and warmly, but in Emmanuel's eyes, Liu Mang had turned into a devil! That was the devil's evil smile!

"I...I have something to do, I'm going back first!" After Emmanuel said that, he ran away. In his opinion, Liu Mang would probably eat him next...

Why did this guy run away? Liu Mang was a little confused, but didn't pay much attention. Then he sighed that the service industry in the United States was really developed. These internal organs were cleaned and packed in boxes. Liu Mang took them out and simply washed them with blanching water.

, you can do it...

…

…

Spurs!

Spurs!

Spurs!

Playing the Spurs always makes people feel excited and uneasy!

If we really want to say that they are the strongest team in the 21st century, until Liu Mang traveled through time, perhaps from the perspective of championship and dominance, the Lakers, who won three consecutive championships and two consecutive championships, were unshakable.

In the history of the NBA, only six teams, the Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Bulls, Rockets, and Heat, have done it. Only the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls have done it many times. The only ones who can do it three times or more

Only the Lakers have won consecutive championships. That is to say, the Lakers completed the highest and only two consecutive championships in the entire history of other teams in just 11 years after the 21st century.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Liu Mang believes that the Spurs can also be regarded as the strongest team after the 21st century. Until Liu Mang time travels, the Spurs have played all seasons since the beginning of the 21st century.

, no matter who stays or goes, grows old, and regains their youth, the Spurs continue to win 50 games every year, including the 50-win season during the lockout in 2012. Going back to the entire NBA history, only the Spurs can do it.

arrive.

This kind of record really makes opponents feel scared. It has been stable and strong for more than ten years.

But equally, anyone would be excited to play against such an opponent!

Of course it was accompanied by a little uneasiness.

As soon as he walked into the Alamodome, Liu Mang started to feel pain in his balls. Why is it that the Spurs' home court always seems like something is going on?

There are no other colors except gray, white, and black!

The dressing room is also monotonous white and gray, which is quite adequate.

"Emma Nuoer, can you help me get a new pair of shorts from Mo Long? This one is a little bigger." Liu Mang's shorts seemed to be the wrong size today, but he had already taken off his suit pants and changed his upper body.

It has become a jersey, which is very troublesome to put on.

If it were in the past, Emmanuel would have bickered a few words before talking. This time, Emmanuel stood at attention reflexively, responded quickly and ran to find the trainer, leaving Liu Mang confused. When

Is this big brother so obedient?

…

…

After stretching and other warm-up activities, Liu Mang and his teammates went to the court at the Alamodome.

The Alamodome is the old stadium of the Spurs. It usually hosts NFL and Women's Major League Soccer games. It is so big that it has more than 27,000 seats. It would be necessary to install seats in all the empty spaces.

At a basketball game, 50,000 to 60,000 people can sit in.

However, a basketball game is no different than football or rugby. You really can’t see anything if you are too far away. After all, basketball is a game where you need to score a lot of goals. It is a performance time for individual players’ technical movements, so you need to see it more clearly.

Although the Spurs do not have as much sponsorship money as the Rockets, Mavericks and some wealthy cities, and billboards are sold cheaply, they will never lose money because this venue has the largest number of seats in the league, and its attendance has been consistent for many years.

Didn't fall out of the top five.

When it comes to loyalty, fanatical San Antonio is definitely no worse than Salt Lake City!

When Liu Mang entered the stadium, he saw the standard black and white and gray color scheme of the venue, the team logo, various retired jerseys, etc. They were all black and white and gray. The only eye-catching colors were actually the championship flags and divisions hanging on the wall.

The championship, Western Conference championship and other banners are really enough.

When the Hawks players entered the stadium, the fans' reaction was very dull. There was little overlap between the two teams. Ever since Wilkins was traded in his old age, the Hawks were at best in the first round. They had not played in the Eastern Conference for decades. When the Hawks last won the championship,

There is no Spurs yet, and there is no such thing as animosity between the two teams.

When the Spurs players came on the stage, the scene was filled with excitement!

Especially when Duncan came out, with Duncan's expressionless face, the cheers of the fans at the scene reached its peak!

From the 1999-2000 season, when Duncan was selected to the All-Star for the first time, he completely surpassed the popularity of Navy Admiral David Robinson and became one of the two most popular power forwards among fans.

Perhaps in China, Duncan only became popular after the Spurs' style of play changed in 2010, and he became the No. 21 pick. But in the United States, Duncan has actually been the most popular power forward since 2000, and since 1999

-From the beginning of the 2000 season to the 2010-2011 season, Duncan was elected to the All-Stars for 12 consecutive years, which was more stable than Garnett. Garnett was not selected to the All-Stars in the 2005-06 season.

On the contrary, in 2011-2012, a year when domestic fans' love for Duncan reached a fever pitch, Duncan's popularity in the United States actually declined.

But in this era, Duncan is the most powerful forward!

what to do!

Liu Mang was so excited to see Duncan!

How can I do!
