David Stern had a big smile on his face. Unexpectedly, this year's All-Star Weekend would be the warm-up for next year's All-Star Weekend.

Peja issued a challenge to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang accepted it, which made countless fans look forward to next year's three-point contest!

Any game must have equally matched opponents to make it enjoyable, otherwise it would be meaningless to know who the championship is as soon as it is built like the Cosmos team.

Taking advantage of the popularity brought by the three-point contest, the Legend Challenge begins!

In the DJ's deliberately low-key introduction, the players of the Western Team appeared on the stage, first the famous Hollywood producer, actor, and amateur basketball master Frankie Muniz, then WNBA superstar Swoopes, and then

Corey Maggette, one of the N forwards of the Los Angeles Clippers, and finally Magic Johnson, the first player in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers and the first point guard in NBA history.

Following the rhythm deliberately set by the DJ and the excitement of the previous three-point contest, the Eagles fans at the scene took the lead and booed the "visiting team" of the Western Conference team.

"Hahahaha..." Magic Johnson showed his trademark laugh, hugged the players around him and then walked onto the court. Current and retired players in the VIP fan area also ran over to hug Magic and pay tribute.

The boos at the scene made the game more like a game, proving that the fans' emotions had been completely aroused. Magic and other "visiting team" players also became excited because of this. This is like a game!

In eventing, sometimes the biggest attraction is not the competition of the players, but the reaction of the superstar spectators around them. It doesn't matter if the competition starts slowly, the camera instead gives a close-up of these hugs.

Everyone wanted to steal the spotlight, and Liu Mang was about to go up to pay tribute, but was pushed away by others and became the last person to go up and hug him.

Magic has always been smiling and has a very high level of mutual quotient. The relationship between the Lakers and Hawks has been very bad in the past two years, but as a Lakers star, Magic did not show any negative expression towards Liu Mang.

He was very enthusiastic and reached out for a hug. Liu Mang also smiled and hugged her.

"Haha, Ace, someone is challenging you again. Yes, a strong person is someone who challenges you! I'm optimistic about you. Do you want to come to Los Angeles to compete with the Lakers for the championship in June this year?" Magic said with a smile.

Looking at the magician's iconic smiling face, Liu Mang honestly felt that this guy was so good at confusing people with his smile, who knew what he was thinking.

Moreover, Liu Mang has something he really wants to complain about: Can the Lakers make it out of the Western Conference this year? We can give it a try, but what if we go to San Antonio?

However, if you don't hit the smiling man, the magician's affinity is indeed great. Liu Mang responded happily: "Thank you for your good advice, Mr. Johnson, when the time comes, don't just put on a bad face just because you lost to us."

Already."

You should answer politely, but don’t lose your domineering attitude!

Seeing Liu Mang's self-confidence and lack of respect, the magician sighed in his heart, today's young people are really amazing. If his child doesn't grow up, his future may be bumpy.

…

The Western team received boos from the fans, but when the Eastern team came on the field, the cheers returned again.

The first person to appear was Ashton Kutcher, who starred in "That '70s Show" in 1998 and will have a famous blockbuster "The Butterfly Effect" next year, followed by WNBA superstar, last year's WNBA champion and finals MVP Leslie

.

When Jason Terry, the penultimate contestant, came on the stage, the fans started chanting "Jets."

When the last player, Dominic Wilkins, the greatest player since the Hawks moved to Atlanta, came on the stage, along with the cheers that reached the peak, the courtside began a happy tribute and hug session.

Although it is not as great as Magic's achievements, the number of players in NBA history who can be said to be greater than Magic may not be all on one hand. Not to mention the championship MVP in his rookie season, in just 12 years of career

In his career, he has reached the finals 8 times and won the championship 5 times. These two achievements are much more than the honors of most teams in the history of the team.

But in the hearts of Atlanta fans for over 20 years, Wilkins is the greatest player. He has brought countless classic scenes to Atlanta fans.

Liu Mang was squeezed to the end again this time. A man who didn't know how to steal the camera finally got the most complete shot. Sometimes some things are delivered to his door without insisting on grabbing them.

Speaking of which, this was Liu Mang's first time officially talking to Wilkins. It seemed that he had not even met him a few times before.

Unlike Magic, a social butterfly who always has a good relationship with everyone, Wilkins is more cold and arrogant like a player in the 1970s and 1980s. As far as Liu Mang knows, Jason Terry was drafted by the Hawks.

In four years, I have only spoken to Wilkins twice, and this cooperation is the first time we have worn the same team uniform to train together.

Just like Howard joined the Lakers and met Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the first time half a year ago, Ingram, the second overall pick, joined the Lakers for two years and only got a phone call from a blacksmith and didn't get a word of advice in two years.

Showing the aloof attitude of a celebrity.

"Ace, I can't wait to see your performance in this year's slam dunk contest. How are you, are you ready?" After hugging him, Wilkins still cared about his junior.

"Of course, Mr. Wilkins, just wait and see my performance!" Liu Mang was more restrained towards the team's famous players, showing his confidence but not deliberately showing arrogance.

It was really cold. Wilkins said nothing, patted the gangster on the shoulder, and then went up to play.

Amid the cheers of the fans on site, the Legend Challenge began.

This kind of game is really not as interesting as the interaction between the players before and after the game. Westerners have an advantage in size, age, and everything.

Even though Magic retired in 1991, he was only one year older than Wilkins, who retired in 1997. With his physical strength, Magic had a huge advantage. Then when Maggette faced Jason Terry, he also pressed the button.

Playing, as for the WNBA and Hollywood movie stars, is just for making up numbers and attracting attention. The Western team tortured the Eastern team to no avail. It was quite fun in the middle of the game. After the Western team led 18 to 6 early, they started to play.

When they got up, Magic showed off his dribbling and almost became a Thompson. Maggette made a strong dunk, which was a bit joyful. The game was not very competitive, and the Western Conference team had an obvious advantage.

In the end, the Western team took the lead to score 25 points, easily defeated the Eastern team 26-12, and won the Legend Challenge.

…

The first two events were finally over, and Liu Mang's seat was moved to the front row of the bench.

The last two projects, he's going to be sitting here.

Seeing his own competition event, Liu Mang's pressure came back again.

King of All-Stars, this task must be completed! This is related to your future development potential! Talent and skill fragments are important things that make you a unique dual-talented superstar.

Skills Challenge and Slam Dunk Contest, both competitions are very difficult!

The most important thing is the dunk contest. There has never been a player in NBA history who won the three-point contest and the dunk contest at the same time. Brent Barry of the SuperSonics is a very promising one, but this year he has already won the dunk contest.

The three-point contest was eliminated by Peja, and he lost the opportunity to become a person who won both the dunk contest and the three-point contest.

Liu Mang is now highly anticipated. Whether he can create history is the focus of fans.

In addition, Liu Mang also knew that the Skills Challenge, due to its good visibility and difficulty, would be determined to become one of the three fixed events on the comprehensive event day on the second day of the All-Star Weekend.

It has the same status as the Points Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest... Of course, it's just the status of an official event. In the eyes of fans, the Skills Challenge must be at the bottom.

But if Liu Mang wins all three championships, he will definitely leave a perfect achievement in the history of NBA All-Star Weekend.

Liu Mang kept comforting himself and hinting to himself that this task was a long-term one, so don't be nervous...

Amid the cheers of the fans, Liu Mang came to the field to draw lots.

"Oh oh... Ace, kill them..." McGrady, who didn't mind the matter, started yelling at Liu Mang from the sidelines. Others who had a good relationship with McGrady and who had a good relationship with Liu Mang

, and passers-by who had bad relations with each other also followed suit.

Liu Mang's anus tightened, as if someone was saying that he is handsome again. He felt some hot eyes and looked over. Kidd, Marbury, and Payton were all staring at him.

, because it was the home court of the Eagles, and it was broadcast live all over the world, the expressions of the three people were normal, but their eyes were extremely fierce.

Liu Mang looked at McGrady angrily, "You are going to send me to the crematorium! These three people are going to fight for it!"

Liu Mang glanced at the league president who was chatting happily with Eagles owner Price. This damn old man knew how to cause trouble. I wonder if I can't deal with these three people!

Fortunately, Liu Mang has an advantage!

It's not dribbling, it's not passing, it's not even a shooting advantage, it's... he knows the rules!

Why were the three events ultimately determined to be the Skills Challenge, the Slam Dunk Contest, and the Three-Point Contest?

The first two items were retained because they appeared early and were indeed very interesting. The Skills Challenge was decided because it was also a good-looking event. At the same time, as people's pace of life becomes faster and faster,

I don’t like to understand the rules of a new game every year, I just want to watch it and have fun. Just like every time the rules of the NBA regular season or playoffs are changed, fans complain. In recent years, the All-Star Game has been held every year.

Fans are already a little annoyed by the change of competition items on the comprehensive game day. They want to see how the players perform under the known rules, instead of every year in the past, except for the three-point contest and dunk contest, other events require

Reacquaint yourself with the rules.

Just like now, when the staff moved out and set up the roadblocks similar to the driver's license test, took out the small passing circles and put up the passing area, shooting area and other signs on the floor, Payton, Mabou

Here, Kidd and the three of them are in a fog, and they want these things in the skills challenge?

The fans were also confused. They thought that the skills challenge was a competition between players to show off their skills. They did not expect to use props, which made them feel a little excited inexplicably.

Liu Mang also showed a confused expression, listening to the referee introducing the rules of the game, snickering in his heart - I have bought these tools and practiced at home many times! Hiahahiahia...

The skills challenge event is divided into three items. The first item is to dribble over an obstacle and then layup or dunk. The second item is to dribble quickly across the court and then pass the ball. The third item is to dribble quickly across the court and then pass the ball.

of three points.

The focus is on the final layup, passing the ball, and three-point shooting. If you don't qualify for that event, you'll have to start over from dribbling.

The timing starts when the players are ready and the referee blows the whistle. After completing the three events, the player with the shortest time wins the championship.

This game is passed in one round, because even 0.1 seconds can determine the winner.

Liu Mang, along with the other three, showed expressions of enlightenment after hearing the explanation of the rules.

Hearing that the last item was to shoot a three-pointer! The other three people were very unhappy, and they all turned their attention to Liu Mang. Among the four people present, this guy was the only one who was reliable in three-pointers.

When Liu Mang saw the three of them staring at him again, he couldn't help but sneered, spread his hands and shrugged, saying, "You're so lucky. My shooting is a bit accurate. This rule is a bit too disadvantageous for you."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Get out! The three of them collectively turned their heads and ignored this bastard who got an advantage and acted like a good boy!

Draw lots!

Liu Mang was pushed away again, and the three of them worked together to push Liu Mang aside. Payton and Kidd were two masters and apprentices who had a very good relationship. Although Marbury and the two had a normal relationship, now the three of them share the same hatred.

If you are going to fuck Liu Mang, you must first grab a good lottery spot.

However, sometimes, you really can't get a good lottery spot by drawing first. Liu Mang feels that he is lucky today! Draw No. 4! The last one to appear!
