The first Chinese Derby will naturally be broadcast live in China.

However, this is probably the first time that the NBA is broadcast live in the middle of the night in China. Generally speaking, the earliest games played in the Eastern Conference are basically not broadcast live in China, so the Hawks’ games are scheduled relatively late this year. The NBA arranges the schedule except for the popular teams.

Priority, live broadcast time is also a key consideration.

I used to stay up late to watch football, but domestic fans are finally staying up late to watch the NBA again. The Hawks and Rockets game is at 1:30 in the afternoon, which is almost exactly around 12:00 in the morning in China.

I don’t know if it’s just to upset some fat guy, but the one broadcasting the Eagles game live in the United States is the T.N.T Basketball Channel.

Barkley was looking at the two close-ups of Liu Mang and Yao Ming side by side, and he really didn't know which one to blow and which one to spray.

Both of these guys are assholes in Buckley's opinion!

One asked Buckley to pole dance, and the other asked Buckley to kiss a donkey's butt. They are both bastards! Neither of them are good people.

So, Kenny Smith made the opening introduction smoothly under very unaccustomed circumstances. Barkley didn't say a word and didn't bother Kenny Smith at all. It was the first time for Kenny Smith to feel so comfortable during the opening commentary.

It's relaxing, but it lacks a bit of fun.

…

After the Perfect Empire song was played, players from both teams took the field.

The selection for the Eagles has changed today!

"Ding...Features: Pretend you are a substitute, it has been triggered, it has been triggered once, and the maximum remaining times is 31 times."

"Ding... the bench gangster is triggered. The host's current ability value is 79, three-pointer 88, mid-range shot 82, layup 85, speed 94, strength 79, and jumping 92..."

Huh, today the boss Steven Price strongly requested Liu Mang to play. Originally Liu Mang did not agree, but when he saw many Chinese fans coming to the scene, he thought that it was the most important live broadcast in China today, and he mainly wanted to play for a while.

I can look for more opportunities to dunk Yao Ming, so I temporarily approached the coach and said I wanted to play today.

The reason is that I want to play against Yao Ming.

Dean Grove doesn't have any objections. He is a fake to begin with. He just renewed his contract with the Hawks for two years, with an average annual salary of 1 million. The contract expires in 2005 and he has no intention of continuing to play basketball. He wants to

In the last two years or so, he helped the Eagles win the championship, and then became...a painter.

When Dean Grove told Liu Mang and other teammates that his dream was to become a painter, everyone's outlook was shattered.

I don't need a salary of over a million dollars a year in the NBA, but I actually want to retire in 2005 when I was just 29 years old and at my peak to become a painter with basically no possibility of making money.

Liu Mang discovered that many people in the NBA are delayed artists. In the future, there will be Larry Sanders who gave up his annual salary of more than 10 million US dollars to learn painting.

So, today the Eagles have Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Raheem, Muhammad, and Ratliff.

The Rockets are Francis, Mobley, James Posey, Eddie Griffin and Yao Ming.

James Posey is a genuine small forward that the Rockets brought back in mid-December through a three-way deal with the 76ers and Nuggets using rebounding geek Kenny Thomas.

Kenny Thomas is too short, only 2.01 meters tall. The height difference between him and Yao Ming in the post is a bit too cute. Coupled with Liu Mang's fellow rookie Eddie Griffin's talent in his rookie year, Ken

The presence of Danny Thomas had an impact on Griffin's development, so he was replaced by a defensive hero.

The fans saw Liu Mang taking off his training clothes and shooting before the game started. They were surprised and started cheering!

This is Liu Mang’s first appearance!

No, Liu Mang was a little excited!

This is probably a true battle against the opponent's strongest lineup.

In the past, when Liu Mang came on as a substitute, although he faced off against the opponent's main defender most of the time, he was already a star player who was consumed by his teammates. Now, this is the first time he has faced off against the opponent's full-strength defender!

Liu Mang looked at Mr. Fu, whose expression always showed that someone owed him money. He looked at the jersey with tomato color trim, white board and blue stripes. He really missed it. Liu Mang remembered that it was Yao Ming's rookie year when the Rockets were like this.

As for the away fans, next season they will change to the fiery red jerseys that Chinese fans love.

He would never believe that the Rockets' fan design changed twice in two years and continued for more than ten years. It was not to cater to domestic fans!

As if sensing Liu Mang's gaze, Francis turned his head and looked at Liu Mang, giving Liu Mang a childish look.

Liu Mang decisively pulled down his apple muscles, stuck out his tongue and made a face at Francis.

When Francis saw what the fuck, he actually dared to make a face at the uncle, he immediately pulled his temples and shook his head in return of Liu Mang's face.

When Liu Mang saw Francis's expression, he was actually more mocking than the young master's expression. No! He pushed his nose up decisively...

Inexplicably, the two started a funny face fight. It was so deadly that the chief cameraman saw this scene and quickly moved the camera to broadcast the two people's funny face fight live on a large screen.

The two people who were having a funny face battle heard roars of laughter coming from the scene, and suddenly realized that this was a competition live broadcast around the world!

what to do!

so awkward!

The two of them withdrew their expressions in a tacit understanding, as if nothing had happened, and each returned to the top arc of the three-point line in their respective half, waiting for their teammates to jump the ball.

Their teammate Huangguoshu Waterfall Khan: These two live treasures!

Finally, when the scene got out of control for a while, the game started!

The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball up into the air. Yao Ming won the jump ball with his absolute advantage of elevation and decent bounce. Francis received the ball and the Rockets attacked first.

Waiting for Yao Ming to take his position, Francis slowly advanced.

"Steve Francis: Ability value 87 (peak), 77 three-pointers, 79 mid-range shots, 92 layups, 91 speed, 87 strength..."

"Cardino Mobley: Ability value 83 (peak), three-pointer 79, mid-range shot 80, layup 84, speed 88, strength 78..."

Looking at this fierce outside combination, Liu Mang was under great pressure. He could only restrict one of them no matter what!

Liu Mang still chose Francis, who is the most difficult to deal with. This year and next year will probably be Francis' two years at his peak. Next season seems to be the only time in his career that he will make the playoffs. When Yao Ming was still young, Francis was obviously the most critical factor for the Rockets.

player of.

Liu Mang was ready to try the hard steel with Francis once again to try the feeling of using a mantis as a car. Francis' physical fitness was so explosive.

But unexpectedly, Francis moved to a 45-degree angle on the left, and then waited for Yao Ming to reach the middle distance of the right baseline. Eddie Griffin pulled to the top arc and James Posey picked and rolled without the ball. Old Cat Mobley fell

Leaning on Jason Terry in the low post for a single!

Watching Francis pass the ball to the old cat Mobley, Mobley received the ball, slowly squeezed Jason Terry, squeezed to the edge of the three-second zone, suddenly turned right, wiped the baseline and flew for a layup.

Although Ratliff quickly recovered to cover up the defense, Mobley's left-handed layup angle was too tricky. He pulled the lever in the air and hit the backboard from the other side of the basket and fell into the basket!

wipe!

Liu Mang was surprised that the old cat has also improved! Last year, he didn’t have this low-post stunt! In the past, the old cat Mobley’s main scoring methods were three-point shooting and pick-and-roll breakthroughs using speed and jumping to hit the basket. This year, he even has post-up shots.

This is the big dream of paying money to someone who just lost his job!

I am not the only one who is making progress!

There was no chance to counterattack at the beginning. Except for Yao Ming, everyone else on the Rockets returned to defense very quickly. Not to mention the three perimeter players, all of them had excellent physical fitness. Griffin, the power forward, was already a top-notch physically fit man, and he was very good at returning to defense.

quick.

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.

The Eagles' tactics were the same. After Raheem sat in the low post, Liu Mang passed the ball to the boss, who came first.

Raheem received the ball and sat down unceremoniously on James Posey, who was several centimeters shorter than him and a lot thinner.

James Posey is suitable for guarding skilled forwards. Guarding Gasol, who was at his peak in 2008, was his famous series, but he really couldn't guard against such a rough and tough guy. Eddie Griffin used to double-team him.

.

At this time, Liu Mang saw Yao Ming alone under the basket with Ratliff and Muhammad, his eyes lit up, and when Francis was unprepared, he threw away the opponent and rushed towards the basket.

Rahim saw the situation and passed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang received the ball after reaching the free throw line, and excitedly stepped into the free throw line and jumped high!

Mission accomplished!

At this time, Yao Ming immediately moved outside the reasonable collision zone to block Liu Mang, but he was blocked by Ratliff and could not jump up. He could only block in front of Liu Mang and could not jump up to block the shot!

Liu Mang was so excited! After a confrontation with Yao Ming, he smashed the ball toward the basket!
Chapter completed!
