The picture of Liu Mang lying on the ground said: I knew this ball was going to go in as soon as I threw it. His arrogant face made the Western team's desire to win collapse.

Especially Kobe, who had been facing Liu Mang all the time. He knew that Liu Mang's confidence that the ball would definitely be made had not changed from the very beginning! His arrogant expression had not changed at all!

Where did the confidence come from! Impossible!

Kobe went crazy, and the West attacked again. Kobe made a three-pointer in anger, completely ruining the possibility of the West trying to catch up with the score. With Mutombo in the paint, the East did not give a second offensive rebound.

Opportunities in the West.

With Rahim's two-pointer from close range, the score became 157 to 146, an 11-point difference! With 1 minute left, the Eastern Conference's victory was determined!

Liu Mang's miraculous three-pointer completely destroyed the West's thoughts about this game.

As the referee's whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Eastern Conference defeated the Western Conference with a 9-0 scoring shock wave at the critical moment, 160 to 153, and maintained the lead until the end of the game!

…

"I'm very grateful to my teammates. Wow, this kind of word of thanks is a bit corny, but without their help and tolerance, a rookie player like me wouldn't have so many shooting opportunities. I'm very grateful to them. I'm treating you tonight.

Go drinking...but I can't go to the nightclub, so Allen probably has to pay the bill. I also want to thank my coach. Without him, I wouldn't have had such an opportunity to perform tonight. I also want to thank everyone who came to Philadelphia with me.

Three very important people..."

Liu Mang excitedly said his words of thanks after receiving the All-Star MVP trophy from David Stern.

The main reason is that all players on the winning side of the All-Star Game will receive a bonus of US$50,000, and they do not need to donate it.

Different from the original boos in 2002 when Kobe Bryant won the MVP, everyone could see it this time. Iverson was promoting this junior. This time, the entire Eastern Conference was making wedding dresses for Liu Mang in the All-Star Game.

After the end, the fans who stayed to watch the awards were all cheering for Liu Mang!

Of course, the cheers also included a certain little loli, who heard the description of a very important person...

…

A certain Pennsylvania high school student who did not want to be named, the No. 8 player with the most irons in the history of the state tournament, went straight back to the locker room after the game, carried his backpack, and left the ball he had dreamed of playing the most when he was drafted.

At that time, the arena had just been renovated. He once imagined that he was the hero of this city. He participated in the draft early that year and had a lot to do with the 76ers winning the No. 1 pick.

He walked for an hour and came to the park he was most familiar with after returning to Philadelphia in 1992. The place was still the same, and the people who came there were still the same, but the baskets were old and the people had grown up.

Just like before, when I lose the game, I just find a place alone and shoot the ball silently...

…

…

…

…

All-Star Weekend in Philadelphia has come to a successful conclusion!

For the NBA's official executives, looking at the ratings of the All-Star Game in China, which exceeded 3, they are just like the islanders who love to celebrate everything collectively, and all they need is a group of people gathered around and shouting "Long Live Long Live."

For most of the participating players in the Eastern Team, it is just a bonus of $25,000 more than what they lost. For these All-Star players, it is not too much money. This is also the key to the inefficiency of many players.

reason.

As for Duncan, he left quietly after the loss. No one even noticed that this person was missing. This was completely different from Kobe's disappearance during the post-game interview, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among reporters.

Garnett, who once punched a reporter for his bad deeds, yelled to get out of here and went to take a shower.

There are also people like Payton and Francis who are already desperate and don't know how to deal with the rookie who is getting more and more powerful.

There are also Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady, Raheem, and Jason Terry who are really happy for Liu Mang.

But most of them are still casual. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose. Including Kidd, who discussed tactics with Liu Mang, he has actually played enough. Whether he can win or not at the critical moment does not make much difference to him. He only cares about Liu Mang's

He was just interested in novel ideas, and he discovered that most of those tactics were of little use in club competitions and required at least four All-Star level players to play. By the end of the game, he lost interest.

After Iverson's regular post-game interview, he took the other players from the Eastern Team except Liu Mang to a nightclub. Liu Mang made him angry and funny when he gave his acceptance speech, but he loves to entertain, so he just stopped by

The guests were invited in Liu Mang's name.

Of course, the consensus of the All-Star players, obtained from Tracy McGrady, is that they cannot take Liu Mang out with them, otherwise they can only drink coffee or milk.

…

The people in the east don't take Liu Mang to play with them, but the people in the west hate Liu Mang.

Liu Mang, who was left behind, was not idle. As soon as he finished applying ice, NBA official staff came to ask him to change clothes and accept an exclusive interview.

Generally speaking, the MVP winner of the All-Star Weekend accepts an exclusive interview with one of the three major TV stations, but this time it is different. The NBA officially authorized it to the Chaoting Sports Channel!

Liu Mang's ability to win the MVP of the All-Star Game was no longer a surprise to NBA executives. He was almost convulsing with excitement. From the 1994 All-Star Weekend, China began to receive the live signal of the American ABC TV station for the first time and began to simultaneously broadcast NBA games.

Later, although the NBA has gained a good reputation in China, especially stars such as Jordan, Pence, Iverson, Kobe, and O'Neal are very popular in the country.

But overall it's still tepid. The jerseys can't be sold, the sneakers can't be sold, and the game ratings are average. Occasionally they can break 1%. The NBA headquarters thought spring was coming, but it turned out to be just a dragon boat race.

Because it was raining heavily and it couldn't be held, Chaoting Sports Channel was in a good mood and gave them a chance to broadcast live on the weekend.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Usually All-Stars, and it happens to be the Spring Festival in China, I have played all the things that need to be done, and the ratings have always been average, and the ratings of the finals can usually break 1.

But sometimes when you encounter the World Cup, you are so desperate that you become obscene again...

This time, finally, the ratings were extremely high. According to conservative statistics, at least 30 million domestic fans watched the All-Star Game. This is a good start!

NBA executives believe that with Yao Ming also entering the NBA, the development of the NBA in the Chinese market will have explosive growth!

As for Liu Mang, they were even more unwilling to give up. No one knew how Yao Ming would adapt to the NBA, but Liu Mang obviously adapted completely and played extremely well.

Therefore, Chaoting Sports made an unprecedented request to the NBA for an exclusive interview with the All-Star MVP, and Stern agreed without hesitation.

Feel free to visit, visit at will, visit as often as you want.

Liu Mang followed the staff to the office at the Wachovia Center where the 76ers usually conduct very formal interviews.

I met again a group of old acquaintances whom I remembered from two days ago. Of course, they were familiar with each other from TV. He knew them, but they didn't know him.

"Haha, Ace, congratulations, oh, wow, that's incredible..." Director Zhang took a sip of the Beijing movie and saw Liu Mang coming and greeted him enthusiastically.

Liu Mang is also happy! The system prompts that he hasn’t had time to look at it yet, but without even thinking about it, various rewards must have been released.

"Haha, Director Zhang, thanks to your auspicious words, I got the MVP!" Liu Mang went up and hugged Director Zhang.

"congratulations……"

Su Qun and Liu Mang also hugged each other.

"Ace, without further ado, we will probably meet each other frequently in the future. It's getting late today, so let's keep the story short and enter the interview session?" Director Zhang was also a professional player at the time. Knowing that the players have finished the game, they are still

In such a fierce competition, the most annoying thing after the game is the interview, especially the one who performed the best, who must also be the most tired. He was very understanding and considerate and got straight to the point.

"Haha, as long as you are not too tired, Director Zhang, we can chat slowly." Liu Mang was still very polite. He wanted to join Dinah and the others as soon as possible. He was probably impatient to wait in the lounge, but he didn't want to fight.

The most important way to enter the domestic market, and the only media in the domestic sports media that dares to compete with a certain association at this stage - Chaoting Sports Channel, he does not dare to be proud.

Director Zhang is very satisfied with Liu Mang's humble attitude. For a young rookie who has just made a big splash and won the All-Star MVP, he can be so humble instead of arrogant. As Director Zhang, who once became famous at a young age and was very high-spirited,

I mean, I think it's really rare.

Liu Mang is just here because he knows what he wants and understands that getting an All-Star MVP at this stage may make him famous, but it may not necessarily be a good thing. For example, no opponent will despise him in the future.

Fight him to death, but his true strength, even if he triggers the bench gangsters, is that of a sixth man who averages more than ten points per game.

Liu Mang hopes to rely on the harvest of this All-Star Weekend to further improve his strength and strive to complete the double awards of Rookie of the Year and Best Sixth Man this season.

Especially for Rookie of the Year, this is a reward that a player only has one chance to win in his lifetime. If he fails, he will never get it again.

Seeing Liu Mang's still very immature face, Director Zhang felt that such a good young talent must be well protected, so as not to suffer the tragic fate of Ma Jian and Wang Zhizhi, especially Wang Zhizhi, who is also the second center. Director Zhang failed to achieve more success against Wang Zhizhi.

Despite his high achievements, he has always felt regretful. Zhang taught himself that there was nothing he could do when he was young. During the Cold War and later the thaw, he retired.

"Okay, Ace, let's start our interview. First of all, congratulations on winning all the All-Star games! Let's say hello to the domestic fans first. Don't worry, it's not a live broadcast. Haha, you can think about what you have to say.

Did the domestic fans say that?" Director Zhang also tried to be gentle with his questions, and tried to ask questions in a direction that would be easier for Liu Mang to answer and more beneficial to Liu Mang.

Liu Mang pondered this question for a while, and decided that he should be more official and not too arrogant or too groveling. It would be good if some people liked him, and some people hated him. You can't make everyone like him.

Liu Mang straightened his clothes and said to the camera: "I am very happy to win this game today. I am very grateful to all the fans and friends who watched this game. I will work harder and strive for better performance in future games."

, will not embarrass my identity as a Chinese!"

This word of thanks was a bit beyond the expectations of Director Zhang and Su Qun, and they both applauded.

Originally, Director Zhang thought that even if Liu Mang spoke Chinese very well, he had been in the United States for a long time, and he had been playing with Americans, so he should be a little arrogant. For example, Liu Mang’s open hug when they met, domestic

Players generally don't do this.

I didn't expect him to be so restrained in answering questions, especially the last sentence, which said he would not embarrass the Chinese people. This speaks volumes to the hearts of two basketball seniors who have been working hard for domestic basketball.

"Ace, you have stopped embarrassing our country. Is this the All-Star MVP trophy? Come and show it to the fans." Director Zhang said, pointing to the round trophy at the bottom that Liu Mang had just brought in and placed on the coffee table.

.

Only then did Liu Mang realize why the staff just asked him to bring the MVP trophy. It turned out to be for this.

"Of course." Liu Mang picked up the trophy with 2002 Philadelphia All-Star Game MVP Ace Liu written in English and faced the camera.

Ace Liu, this is the last name engraved after the game before awarding the award.

After a small show of the trophy, the interview continued.
