Liu Mang and Dinah were watching the Rockets game video while discussing their chances of winning the scoring title.

With the recent continuous surge in points, Liu Mang's rogue value has increased rapidly, with an average of tens of thousands of points or even over 100,000 points every day. When encountering a situation like beating Tracy McGrady, it can directly increase hundreds of thousands of points at a time.

, the rogue value has exceeded the 40 million mark and is heading towards the 50 million mark.

After this season, Liu Mang feels that it is possible to break through 100 million!

Therefore, Liu Mang knew that he had to fulfill his bold words, maintain his image of doing what he said, and make his reputation bigger and louder!

And the next game is another good opportunity to increase your rogue value.

After playing back-to-back games with the Raptors and Bulls, the Eagles have a three-day break. There are five games left this month, and their next opponent is the Rockets!

Rasheed Wallace is still suspended for one game, and the most difficult game for the Hawks is coming soon, against the Houston Rockets at home!

This game is bound to attract huge attention in China. It is the last time Liu Mang and Yao Ming play against each other this season... It is not that Liu Mang looks down on Yao Ming. Although the domestic media and TV stations shout that Yao Ming's Rockets are also competing for the championship, it will never be the same as in the Yao and Mai era.

Even though they were in the top four in the Western Conference, they were still clamoring to win the championship. However, domestic publicity treated this game as the last game of the season.

The game between the Eagles and the Rockets is scheduled for January 22, which is January 23, Beijing time, which happens to be the first day of the Chinese New Year!

The league really attaches great importance to the Chinese market and deliberately arranged the second Chinese Derby game on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It may have also studied the Chinese people's habits during the Spring Festival. They do not go out on the first day of the Lunar New Year and watch TV together at home.

In the competition on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Mang must win! He must win! Knock down Yao Buren, a scheming and honest man!

Originally, he had a great advantage playing against the Rockets, but Yao Ming has become more and more accustomed to the increased weight this year. After the physical problems were exposed by the Hawks last time, all teams played against him based on this, which made Yao Ming not really become a super player.

The giant center Yao Ming began to adapt to this in advance and slowly made adjustments.

And although Van Gundy Jr. liked to let Yao Ming gain weight, as the season progressed and he discovered that his opponents were very serious about Yao Ming's physical fitness, he began to reduce Yao Ming's playing time a lot to improve Yao Ming's efficiency on the court. After entering 2004

In the Rockets' 9 games, Yao Ming averaged 30 minutes per game, scoring 22.4 points, 8 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks. He was somewhat comparable to O'Neal at the end of his prime.

Facing the upcoming Rockets, the combination of Francis and Yao Ming, especially against Yao Ming, does become a bit difficult to beat when Rasheed Wallace still needs to be suspended for one game.

As Yao Ming's strength improves, the Rockets gradually have the feeling of the future Houston Flagwood team. They look promising for anyone they play, but they give everyone a headache when they encounter them, especially the teams in the first half of the Western Conference playoffs.

, seeing that O'Neal is about to get old, another Yao Ming comes. Fortunately, the Rockets owner is stingy and is reluctant to spend money to get a power forward who is at least capable. He just wants to get it cheap and get it with a contract of five to six million.

Kevin Cato and Maurice Taylor, two players who were worth their money in the contract year, did not think about spending two to three million to find a truly first-class or near-first-class power forward, so that Yao Ming would be easier to deal with.

But even so, Yao Ming, a big center who has trouble defending O'Neal and Duncan in singles, still gives a headache to teams that may become playoff opponents with the Rockets.

The same goes for the Eagles.

It is true that the Hawks have an advantage even without Rasheed Wallace. The Rockets are only a second-rate team, but Yao Ming's single point is enough to make his opponents uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the Eagles have three days to rest, and the Rockets' schedule has begun to tighten. For the winter vacation of students back home, they have to give a game every other day. The Rockets have 17 games in January.

He doesn't even have a two-day break every month. Yao Ming has to wait until the Rockets' game on the 20th is over, which is the 21st in the United States, which is also the 22nd in China, before he can come to Atlanta on New Year's Eve.

Compared to Liu Mang, it is Yao Ming who has received more praise in the country. First of all, he listens to the country more. Secondly, Yao Ming has become invincible step by step from the domestic level. He has long been very popular in the country and is his own son.

So of course it gets more praise.

Therefore, domestic demand for live broadcast of Rockets games during the winter vacation is higher, and the league has specially arranged a tight schedule for the Rockets in January.

Liu Mang has made an appointment with Yao Ming to celebrate the New Year together on the 21st. However, Liu Mang is not prepared to give Yao Ming face on the first day of the new year. He is resting at home today. Liu Mang has the morning

After I got up and practiced two sets of shooting, I started to study Yao Ming to see where Yao Ming is now.

Watching the video, Yao Ming is becoming more and more accustomed to his current style of play after gaining weight, and he is using his threat at the basket to create opportunities for his teammates. He is beginning to learn to make himself a threat rather than as he originally remembered.

He went up and dug into the inside line, which made Liu Mang feel happy and a little headache at the same time.

It seems that I exposed Yao Ming's weaknesses in advance, gave Yao Ming some suggestions, and created a monster!

Yao Ming is obviously playing smarter than he was in history, and he started to become smarter early and learned new playing styles early. Although due to talent issues such as jumping and speed, Yao Ming cannot be as likely as O'Neal at his peak.

He is the most dominant player in history, but he may become the most dominant center in NBA history, second only to O'Neal and Chamberlain!

Of course, the premise is that he is not injured, but this time Yao Ming gradually gained weight and did not become fat in one go. Moreover, the national team was forced to relent and allow Yao Ming not to participate in competitions other than world-class competitions, although Yao Ming himself still has to play in the Asian Games.

and the Asian Championships, but without those cups and warm-up games, the probability of Yao Ming getting seriously injured is also greatly reduced. As long as he does not encounter Adelman, it is really possible to avoid serious injuries and become a truly dominant center!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Mang was also a little hurt by having such an opponent.

But I was also a little excited. I took advantage of the little giant before he reached his peak and dunked him to death!

Liu Mang looked at the Avengers series of missions in the system panel: Yao Ming's ambitions, this little giant wants to "murder" my young master all day long, fuck him!

Kill him before he grows up!

After watching Yao Ming's game video clips for a while, Liu Mang lost interest.

Yao Ming will try to change his style of play almost every few games. It is possible that one game he will take more outside shots, but the next game he will find that it is not working, and he will be closer to the basket, and he is still looking for his future development direction. At this time, Yao Ming

The video does not have much reference value. It is not as strong as Liu Mang's own understanding of Yao Ming for defense. If the defense is formulated according to Yao Ming's game situation this season, Liu Mang will figure it out by himself. Obviously there is no professional like Mike Woodson.

It's useful.

"Uncle, aren't you studying the Great Wall of China?" Dinah is a basketball fan. Although her first favorite star is Liu Mang, like other basketball fans, she also likes other players, especially centers like Yao Ming and O'Neal.

, very popular in the United States.

"That's almost it. I'm going to practice shooting. Dinah, do you want to come with me?" Liu Mang stood up and stretched his body.

"Dina doesn't want to go, it's so cold outside, uncle, go by yourself!"

Seeing the little Loli lying on the sofa playing with the computer, looking like a lazy kitten, Liu Mang forcibly pulled Dinah up and carried her out the door: "Why are children afraid of the cold? Let's go together! Your house

Uncle, it’s too lonely for me to practice ball alone. Little Jimmy is still studying, so it’s really lonely when there’s no one to practice with.”

"No, no! Dinah won't go, Dinah is no longer a child! Dinah is nine years old..."

"Then don't lie awake asking me to tell you stories from now on!"

"Ah...Uncle, Dinah is still a child! She can't fall asleep without telling stories!"

"..."

Liu Mang also felt that it was cold outside! So it is better for two people to suffer together if one person suffers! Regardless of the little Loli's resistance, he took her away by force. The little Loli wanted to resist, but Liu Mang easily carried the struggling little Loli away.

door.

The little Loli struggled hard, but found that she couldn't struggle at all. She had no choice but to accept her fate and was taken away by Liu Mang, but there was one more thing before being taken away: "Uncle, wait a minute, Dinah, look at the All-Star voting results!"

Hearing this, Liu Mang was also very interested, and he and Dinah looked at the latest All-Star voting results, which were the All-Star votes as of the 16th.

Today's children, especially American children, can become proficient in using computers from a few years old. After all, in a place like the United States, home electronic products are too cheap for Americans. An Alienware laptop only costs two dollars.

Three thousand US dollars, an ordinary computer usually costs several hundred US dollars.

Dinah opened the homepage of the NBA's official website. The most conspicuous place on the left was the voting results for the second phase of this year's All-Star voting announced at nine o'clock this morning.

The name at the top of the All-Star vote list is Liu Mang's name!

"Wow wow wow wow...Uncle! You have almost one million more votes than the second place!" Dinah cheered excitedly, as if she was the one who got the votes. She was even more excited than Liu Mang.

2.61 million votes!

Liu Mang was shocked when he saw this number of votes!

He didn't expect that in the 11 days of January, when fans paid the lowest attention, the number of votes would increase by more than 1 million!

too exaggerated!

This is only the second stage, and it has already broken the NBA’s historical vote record!

Liu Mang opened several forums, and sure enough, the entire NBA fan circle was discussing his vote count!

The previous record of 2.45 million All-Star votes set by Jordan during the 1997 All-Star Weekend has passed away as of the 16th!

Perhaps a large part of this is because you can now vote online, which cannot be compared with Jordan's 2.45 million votes using purely paper votes. Jordan was the only player in NBA history before the NBA fully launched Internet voting this season.

Players who received more than 2 million votes.

Looking at the comments of many people in the forum, they are also using the idea that they can vote online to deny themselves, and they are also denying that they have received many votes from Chinese people. Liu Mang also understands this, but there are also opinions that it is Liu Mang

The average performance of 35 in the past month is also an important reason why Liu Mang got such a high number of votes. All stars can get votes online, but why did Garnett only get 1.66 million votes? With the support of Chinese fans, why did Yao Ming get the same vote?

For Chinese players, there are only 1.55 million votes?

Regardless of whether it is an online topic or an offline topic, wherever there are people, there will be debates. The only things Liu Mang can directly access are online comments. Looking at the issue of the number of votes he received in the forum, the fans started arguing again, and it seemed that

The two sides were evenly matched, and they started to yell at each other...

There is actually an equal balance between those who deny themselves and those who approve of themselves!

This makes Liu Mang a little flattered! You must know that when he was selected as an All-Star last year, there was a lot of criticism in the United States, saying that like Yao Ming, he benefited from China's 1.3 billion population because he was a Chinese player.

Of course, Liu Mang also recognizes this. Although many people in China are criticizing him, the NBA has also wiped out many domestic votes. For example, if multiple people vote in the same Internet cafe, only one vote will be counted. After all, computers are still very popular in China these days.

Considered a "luxury product", most people don't have computers at home, and most wealthy people don't buy computers. Firstly, the domestic Internet awareness is not strong enough, and secondly, most people in the country think computers are a scourge.

, because games such as Legend are so popular now, many people have become addicted to games.

Therefore, most fans in China go to Internet cafes to vote online, and then most of the votes are invalidated.

But even so, Liu Mang knew very well that he must have a lot of votes supported by the Chinese people, for which Liu Mang was very grateful.

And half of the fans in the United States actually recognized Liu Mang's vote. Liu Mang sighed. Sure enough, how many fans, in the growth and peak years of players, use game performance to speak for themselves. Kobe and James are still old.

The reason why I have so many fans is because of my incredible performance when I was young.

Liu Mang really felt this. Although he didn't mind the popularity issue very much, but if he could make people remember him, why not?

This gave Liu Mang a deeper desire, even desire, for data, honors, and championships!

Unknowingly, Liu Mang himself may not have realized that as he played longer and longer in the NBA, his desire to become "great" became deeper and deeper and more persistent.

Those "hatreds" and hostility are fundamentally caused by Liu Mang's increasing desire to prove himself!

Train! Become stronger!

Liu Mang picked up the little Loli again and went to train!

"Ah...Uncle, don't we want to celebrate?" The little Loli thought she could avoid this training by breaking the record in the All-Star vote.

“Celebrate with training!”
