"I can't even play anymore. It's really useless. I was pushed to the bench by a sophomore and a junior. I'm really ashamed to be a player in the same class as you."

"Oh, after being teammates with Chinese players for a long time, I will use the word shame. Yes, yes, I am not as good as you as a substitute when you rely on Chinese players to win votes and become an All-Star. But I can win in the playoffs. This

It feels good.”

"I was an All-Star before Yao came!"

"Really, who knew, I am a real All-Star selected by the coaches!"

"..." Francis was blocked by Jason Terry's big mouth and couldn't find the words to fight back. Looking at Jason Terry who seemed to be a bit too tough, Francis regretted why he followed Yao Ming to participate in Liu Mang's game.

What the hell do you call a New Year's Eve Party?

Jason Terry and Francis, old enemies, are starting to fight each other again.

…

"Levia, long time no see, I haven't seen you much recently." Steven Price toasted to Levia, the hostess of today's party.

"Oh, Steven, I come to watch every home game, but you are the big boss and are too busy to see me." Levia smiled.

"Haha, I also go to watch every game. Maybe because Ace is so dazzling, I dare not take my eyes away from the game in every game. By the way, is the old man in good health? I haven't visited him in many years.

He's an old man." Steven Price deflected this embarrassing topic that he had started.

"Daddy is in good health. I will bring your greetings to him..."

Two tycoons with complicated family backgrounds were chatting.

…

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha……"

"Ahahahahahahaha..."

Ye Li and Dinah kept laughing while watching the Chaoting International Channel, which made the little boys and girls on the side who wanted to play with Dinah very confused as to what was so interesting about TV programs that they could not understand or understand.

…

"Are you sure? Once you place your bet, you can't go back on it! If you really don't think about it anymore, then I'll make it..."

"Damn! Matt, you are so lucky!"

"Haha, I've reminded you, but you still don't change, so you don't blame me..."

Some Hawks players and Rockets players were gambling, some were chatting with old friends, some were eating barbecue and some food cooked by the invited chef, and some went to play ball on the outdoor court behind the villa, Crewe

Coach Kruger was also on the basketball court with Jimmy Butler, who was now eating meat and growing strong. Coach Kruger personally guided his godson to practice basketball.

…

"Dayao, when will you and Sister Ye Li get married?" Liu Mang asked Yao Ming next to him. Looking at the quite unique New Year's Eve Party, Liu Mang felt quite good.

Do as the Romans do. If Americans want to invite people to spend Christmas or something together, it should at least be a party. Otherwise, they would rather spend it at home. So on the morning of the 22nd, which is when New Year’s Eve begins on the 21st in China, Liu Mang invited

The Eagles players came to the party with the coaching staff, management and some colleagues from the logistics department. Yao Ming also brought several teammates, Francis, Mobley, Kevin Cato, Jim Jackson, Withers

Pang and Mark Jackson, some of the most promising players for the Rockets, were brought in by Yao Ming.

Yao Ming and Ye Li finally confirmed their relationship at last year's Asian Games. Now is the two-week Spring Festival holiday of WCBA. Ye Li came to the United States specially to celebrate the New Year with Yao Ming. Liu Mang and Yao Ming made an appointment to celebrate the New Year together, so they took Ye Li with them.

coming.

Ye Li seems to like children very much. It happens that Dinah is really good at learning Chinese. She and Dinah were watching the Spring Festival Gala early in the morning.

"It's still early for us. We are all working hard for the future, so don't rush." ​​Yao Ming looked at this New Year's Eve party that he had never had before and felt good. At least it was much better than spending the New Year alone in a hotel last year.

However, Yao Ming felt envious when he saw Liu Mang's teammates completely outperforming his own teammates in terms of confidence.

I am even more envious that Liu Mang will become the All-Star voting king.

For this kind of thing, it is false to say that they don't care. Every star will say that they don't care about the votes. Liu Mang also said that, but every time when the votes are announced, he can't help but look at it.

Yao Ming sighed: "Your goal this year is to compete for the championship! We are miserable. We can only try to see if we can get past the first round. Do you think it is possible for us to get past the first round?"

"I think it's impossible." Liu Mang said without hesitation.

"..." Yao Ming's generous face twitched: "Ace, why don't you be so direct!"

"It's so direct. Look at the teammates your boss got for you," Liu Mang couldn't help complaining, "Your boss is so stingy! He has made a lot of money from you in the past two years, right?"

"..." Yao Ming was a little depressed when he thought of this, but as Chinese people, if they say their company is not good, they always want to defend it when others say it: "Boss Fulbright, Mobley, Jim Jackson, they are still okay, Fred

The boss has been an All-Star for the third consecutive year."

For Francis, who has always taken good care of him, Yao Ming is also willing to call him "Big Brother".

Hearing Yao Ming's words, Liu Mang's heart to complain was burning.

It seemed that he was a little sorry for his "status" by directly complaining about the All-Star vote leader and Yao Ming, who was second in the Western Conference All-Star votes. Liu Mang found an unoccupied table, the two sat at each other, took a bottle of white wine, and gave it to himself and

Yao Ming even poured a glass.

The posture is ready, Liu Mang is possessed by Wei Taizu, and the power of the head of state is activated...

Yao Ming saw Liu Mang run off to work for a long time after he disagreed with him, arranging tables, chairs and drinks. After he sat down with him, he didn't understand what Liu Mang was going to do, but he saw Liu Mang's sudden serious expression and that inexplicable expression.

With a sense of intimidation, Yao Ming suddenly felt a little solemn.

"Dayao, besides me, who do you think are the best defenders in the league?" Liu Mang took a sip of his wine and frowned, mainly because it didn't taste good and he didn't like the taste.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But in Yao Ming's view, Liu Mang actually has a posture of giving guidance to the country! Yao Ming actually has no intention of complaining about Liu Mang claiming to be the best defender.

Yao Ming thought for a while and said: "T-Mac, he is competing with you for the scoring title, and last year he also set the highest efficiency value in the history of outside players except Jordan."

Liu Mang shook his head: "Maddie has plenty of strength, but lacks spirit. The same goes for his cousin Carter."

Neither McGrady nor Carter? Yao Ming felt that Iverson must not be either. Iverson was killed by Liu Mang in the playoffs last year, so Yao Ming asked: "Is that Kidd? I remember you said that he is your biggest

enemies."

Liu Mang shook his head again: "Kidd is okay. The teams he plays are not too bad, but he cannot listen to other people's suggestions. He is too conceited about his own strength and thinks that everything depends on him alone.

And I can’t see the advantages of my teammates. Now that Martin has been driven away by him, it is difficult for me to regard him as an opponent.”

Not looking down upon this, Yao Ming asked again: "Is that Kobe?"

"Tch, a guy who can't do anything without a superstar center, just wait and see. After I kill him and O'Neal's Lakers, the Lakers will definitely choose to trade one person away. Then you will know that Kobe will lead the team.

How bad." Liu Mang continued to talk strongly.

Since he was speaking in Chinese, he was not afraid of being overheard and spread the word, so Liu Mang went to death to hide his secrets.

The four major shooting guards plus Kidd are all looked down upon? Since the 21st century, apart from Jordan who came back to play for tickets, all-star guards and first-team guards in the East and West are included, who else is there?

Yao Ming is a bit confused...wait, is it possible?

Yao Ming didn't expect Liu Mang to think so highly of his teammate!

Yao Ming was a little excited: "Is it Boss Fu?"

Liu Mang has always had a good vision. Yao Ming didn't expect Liu Mang to think so highly of Francis. Although he respectfully calls Francis "Big Brother", he knows very well that every time the Rockets encounter a team with super guards, Francis will be tortured miserably every time.

.

Hearing Yao Ming's question, Liu Mang knew that the topic was coming, and said disdainfully: "Francis? Yao, are you sure you are not kidding? What does he have? The scoring champion? Or the best lineup? You think too much, he

Just by racking up statistics on a bad team, you see, is the important reason why your record has improved because he has less possession of the ball? And this is already your best teammate, and your boss still doesn't care?"

"Uh..." Yao Ming didn't expect Liu Mang to be so direct! He is also an 'old friend' after all!

But if Yao Ming thinks about it, it seems to be the case. In his rookie year last season, since the team had hopes of entering the playoffs, coach Tomjanovich reduced Francis's shooting rights and the time he held the ball. When Francis scored,

When assists and rebounds were in decline, the Rockets actually became stronger. This year, they were replaced by coach Van Gundy Jr., who implemented this aspect more strictly and gave more ball rights to Mobley and Jim Jackson.

With him in his hands, Francis played the worst statistics of his career, but the Rockets became stronger!

"Ace, who do you think is the best defender?" Yao Ming was a little confused.

Moreover, Yao Ming is very curious, who else will be regarded as the best defender by Liu Mang? Several of the strongest defenders in the league, or the most famous defenders are all here, is it still Marbury and his ilk?

Not to mention Liu Mang, Yao Ming has been playing in the NBA for more than a year, and he doesn't like players like Marbury. Marbury is probably a version of Francis with a bad personality. Although Francis's style of play is difficult for a strong team to accept,

, he also likes to cause trouble off the court, but at least he has a good personality and takes good care of his younger brother.

Seeing Liu Mang about to open his mouth, Yao Ming stared at Liu Mang, curious about whose name Liu Mang was going to say.

Liu Mang suddenly showed a bad smile: "No, I am the best one, there is no one else, I just want to compare with you, how bad your best teammate is, not even as good as Kobe, I just want to say
