211.Public Enemy of the West(1/2)
"God is unfair!" Emmanuel looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Sorry, we don't believe in God there, only Guan Erye, the God of Wealth." Liu Mang threw a ball and rolled his eyes at Emmanuel.
"That would be even more unfair. You are the only one in the entire NBA who is blessed by the God of Wealth. There are too many people that God wants to bless, and it is not my turn." Emmanuel continued to sigh: "Think about the time when we were guarding drinking water together.
Machine, now that you are an All-Star, I am still guarding the water cooler."
"I have a way, you can also become an All-Star." Liu Mang said helplessly.
"What way! Can I become as popular as Sharif and become an All-Star?" Emmanuel asked excitedly.
"It's much simpler than that method." Liu Mang smiled.
"Tell me! What a good brother. Ace and we will be brothers for life!" Emmanuel was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Go buy a piece of tofu and get reincarnated. You may be reincarnated in the next life." Liu Mang couldn't help laughing.
"What is tofu?" Emmanuel's focus is always strange.
"Well, let's change it to pudding."
"...Ace, go to hell!"
After a while of commotion, Liu Mang's training was almost over.
Yesterday afternoon, the NBA announced that handsome Szczerbiak of the Timberwolves and Ice Liu of the Hawks would enter the All-Star Game respectively to replace the injured Eastern and Western Conference voting champions. Not only did they drop a nuclear bomb in China, they also caused an uproar in the United States.
.
These two players are not weak in terms of strength, but when it comes to All-Star level, Szczerbiak averages 18 4 3 per game and Liu Mang averages 16 1 3 per game. From a statistical point of view, they can only rely on mixing.
Alonzo Mourning, who is familiar with the All-Star game, can compete with 16-8.
Of course, we fight from the weak side.
Liu Mang was selected into the All-Star Game as a second-round pick and a substitute for the team, and he has set many records.
First of all, Liu Mang is the first player to be selected as an All-Star substitute as a second-round pick in his rookie year. Second, Liu Mang is the first to be selected as an All-Star substitute as a substitute for a club team.
It’s not like there has never been a substitute for a club team to become an All-Star. That was Kobe Bryant in 1998. But at that time, Kobe was an All-Star selected by fans and not directly selected by coaches or officials based on his strength.
Liu Mang became the "first person" in history in this regard! Moreover, he felt that there was no one before or after him.
For a time, there were growing doubts about the two candidates selected as All-Star substitutes by the NBA headquarters, especially the rookie Liu Mang. At the same time, many people felt that there was nothing wrong with such a selection.
The big problem is that the emergence of Liu Mang has brought about earth-shaking changes to the Eagles.
It’s noisy anyway!
No matter which country you are in, there is no shortage of people who love to join in the fun. If you join in, they will start to quarrel.
But there are also people with brilliant minds.
A very novel post appeared on the largest fan forum.
"Has anyone noticed that almost all Western Conference All-Stars have a grudge against Ace Liu?"
Soon this post, which was different from bickering, squabbling, etc., became popular.
"This is an interesting point of view. I wouldn't have noticed it even if you didn't tell me!"
"Oh my God, Liu is so pitiful. It seems like he defeated the two most paranoid guys in the West! If these two high school students get together, Liu will be yelled at!"
"It's hard to say. I heard that Liu's mouth is also very poisonous."
"It's so interesting this All-Star. Will Liu also perform a magical performance in the All-Star? It's a pity that this time it's Iverson's All-Star."
"What should I do? I am an Iverson fan, but I also want to see Liu beat Kobe again!"
"Wait a minute, it seems Rahim also mocked OK. Oh my god, I'm so looking forward to it!"
"Haha, me too..."
"..."
"..."
No matter how dangerous the world is, there will always be some people who appear in your world, like a stream of fresh air. They may not bring you warmth, but they will always bring something different to your world.
These days, when a person wants to be criticized, as long as he blames Kobe, it is right. Anyway, no matter what happens, it will be directed towards Kobe and the Lakers. The hatred will be taken away by this team and this player in an instant.
The direction of public opinion is always confusing...
…
…
At noon on February 7, the NBA announced the roster for the All-Star Rookie Game and three events.
The All-Star Rookie Game lineups are:
First-year team: Jason Richardson, Jamal Tinsley, Pau Gasol, Shane Battier, Brendan Haywood, Ace Liu, Tony Parker, Joe...
Johnson, Gilbert Arenas.
Gilbert Arenas withdrew due to injury and was replaced by former player Andrei Kirilenko. This was also the first time that a rookie who was selected in the past but did not enter the NBA that year played in the All-Star Rookie Game.
Sophomore team: Quentin Richardson, Mike Miller, Kenyon Martin, Lee Nylon, Chris Mihm, Marcus Fizer, Darius Miles, Day
Smond Mason, Hido Turkoglu.
The first-year lineup is miserable enough. Look at the second-year lineup. It's even worse than the first-year players. Among the second-year players, Kenyon Martin, who performed best, only averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds per game, which is Sean Battier's.
level.
Not many people pay attention to the All-Star Rookie Game. First of all, the standard of the rookies in the past two years is really poor. Just looking at the lineup, you know that it is definitely the performance time of first-year players.
What's more important is that after the East-West Rookie Competition was suddenly changed to a first-year and second-year competition in 2000, there was not much to watch. At that time, it was to make up for the fact that the All-Star Weekend was not held in 1999 and the rookies in 1998 were not able to participate in the All-Star Game.
They appeared on the weekend, so I tried to make up for them. Since 1998 and 1999 were both draft years, the competition was very intense, and then the NBA officially determined this first- and second-year confrontation method.
As a result, the rookies in 2000 were very picky. The sophomores in the class of 1999 were dunking on the first-year students as if they were in a dunk contest, but they had no resistance, which disappointed the fans. The East-West rookie competition was so hot.
There has never been a score difference of more than 5 points.
After looking at this year's rookies, except for two or three that are impressive, there is nothing interesting about them.
Among them, Ace Liu, who has attracted much attention, has been selected for the All-Star Game. The last rookie selected for the All-Star Game was Duncan, and Duncan directly withdrew from the Rookie Game.
The announcement of the dunk contest roster later attracted much more attention than the rookie competition. Unfortunately, the final roster disappointed fans.
The final four participants in the dunk contest were Desmond Mason, Jason Richardson, Gerald Wallace, and Steve Francis.
Only Francis, the favorite, participated.
The three-point contest was surprisingly attended by Ray Allen, and others included Ace Liu, Mike Miller, Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Quentin Richardson, Steve...
Smith, Peja Stojakovic.
The three-point contest, which originally received the least attention before the All-Star Game, has become the most interesting event. Except for Pierce and Big Q, the others all have a three-point shooting rate of more than 40% and average per game.
A super shooter who made at least two three-pointers in the game.
When all NBA weekend rosters are announced.
People who had been arguing about Liu Mang's inclusion in the All-Star Game were suddenly speechless.
Not to mention what is interesting to watch, not to mention how disappointed someone is because he did not participate in a certain event. I saw that almost every list has the same name, even in two entertainment events...
This rookie really participated in 5 out of 6 competitions in three days apart from the dunk contest!
…
…
Liu Mang's teammates were also shocked. This rookie really participated in every game and wanted to dominate the TV screen during the All-Star Weekend!
Liu Mang was selected for the All-Star Game. The happiest people were Jason Terry and Raheem. Others were happy, but Liu Mang and WNBA players signed up for shooting games, and the league agreed.
, laughing so hard.
Amidst the teasing of some bad teammates, and Jason Terry and Raheem singing a black song similar to "Believe in Love, One Family", Liu Mang cowered in the corner of the training ground at Phillips Arena and didn't know where to cry.
You should still laugh.
"Ding... the system has issued a reward mission: Five Stars Shine in Philadelphia."
"The host relied on its own hard work and good luck with the right people and the right people to successfully be selected for the All-Star Game in his rookie season and set multiple records. Therefore, the system issued a special reward task."
"Five Stars Shine in Philadelphia: For each of the five events that the host has signed up for and been successfully selected for, each time he gets the best one, he will be rewarded with one random mid-level lottery for the whole system (note: including all props including the Rogue Value Lottery and the Superstar Value Lottery.
"
There are so many benefits to being accidentally selected as an All-Star substitute! This task is equivalent to a free reward! Although the total randomness is a little worse than the superstar value lottery, it is a little better than the rogue value lottery. As for the five-star shine...
If it was just this task, Liu Mang wouldn't cry and laugh at the same time.
"Ding... The host has grievances with more than 5 All-Star players in the Western Conference, and has successfully collected the hatred of most of the All-Star players in the Western Conference. The task triggering conditions are met, and the task: Public Enemy of the Western Conference is triggered."
"Public Enemy of the West: The most powerful All-Star player in the West will recruit all the All-Stars in the West to target the host. Task 1: The host needs to lead the Eastern All-Stars to defeat the Western All-Stars. 2: Obtain the All-Star MVP. Complete 1 task to win this year's All-Star Game.
A random star card for the Western All-Stars. Complete two tasks to get a random star card for the Western All-Stars and a random star card for all players in this year's All-Stars. Failure penalty: After the All-Star game, publicly report to T.N.T Sports TV Station
Narrator Charles Barkley asked for a pole dance."
