This TV commentator looks a bit familiar!

"Hello, Ace, I'm Jeff Hornacek. Wow, you're even more handsome than I saw on TV. Young guys today are much more handsome than we were back then." Hornacek said and stretched out

He came to shake hands with Liu Mang.

No wonder he looks so familiar! It turns out to be the future Huo Shuai!

It seems like ESPN doesn't want to cause trouble! Hornacek's character is very patient and friendly. This is not what ESPN, which always enjoys causing trouble, should do!

After Hornacek retired in 2000, like many celebrities, he was invited by the television station to be a commentator. However, his personality was probably too calm and academic, and his performance in the commentator position was average.

"Jeff Hornacek, a former Suns and Jazz star, his career masterpiece was in the 1991-92 season when he averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists at an elite level with the Suns. The Jazz reached the Finals for two consecutive years.

The best outside shooter, his career 3-point shooting percentage has reached 40%. It is worth mentioning that he has the American CPA qualification which is very difficult to pass."

Looking at Hornacek's information introduced by the system, Liu Mang did not expect that this future outstanding NBA head coach would be so obsessed with him as a player. Doesn't it mean that even a star can't be a coach?

And that certified public accountant? Liu Mang has heard that the initial pass rate for this certificate in China is less than 15%, and the chance of actually passing the exam is only about one in 10. Sometimes it’s even less than that, and the worst times are

Five percent pass rate.

They say he is truly an amazing man.

"Hi, Jeff, nice to meet you." Liu Mang shook hands with Hornacek.

"I would like to talk more with you Ace. I feel that we are very similar. We are both players whose physical fitness is not expected, but we both performed amazingly." Hornacek said.

"Cool, I feel honored to be on par with you, Jeff. If I can average 20 5 5 one day, I will probably be on par with you." Liu Mang smiled.

"Haha, your ability to hold the ball is better than mine, and you are much more confident in shooting than I was in my rookie year. I believe you can do it." After Hornacek finished speaking, he was about to start the formal interview: "Okay, let's start.

Let’s do the interview, the pre-match activities will start soon, and I’m curious, were those shots you took arranged by the coach, or were you your own choice?”

Come on, come on! I finally started asking questions.

Generally speaking, players will answer this kind of question in a more reserved way. Even if they are confident, they will usually answer in a relatively humble way. Even Jordan and Magic are like this.

After all, this is a pre-match interview broadcast live across the United States. It is being broadcast live right now. It is estimated that people in the TV studio are commenting on what the two people said.

When I came to be interviewed before, the press officer and coach Kruger also taught Liu Mang some skills in answering questions. In a word, everything about his playing style was blamed on the coach, and everything about his opponents was praised to death.

The questions Hornacek asked are indeed in line with his personal image and he doesn't like to cause trouble.

Hornacek had a good impression of Liu Mang from the moment he first met him until Liu Mang answered the first question. He was a good young man.

"Shoot selection? I think every shot I take is a good opportunity. As long as I can make a shot, the coach can't say anything." Liu Mang looked very arrogant.

This answer... Hornacek frowned. He is a standard academic. Although he played the best performance of his career when he was with the Suns and was once a top player averaging 20+5+5 per game, he

What I like most is playing under Coach Sloan. I like the basketball philosophy of a team with strict management and a coach-first attitude.

Noncommittal to Liu Mang's answer, Hornacek continued to ask: "OK, there is another question. What do you think of today's opponent, the Pistons? Can you continue to maintain the league's first record?"

"Of course, we are much better than the Pistons. Who else does the Pistons have besides Ben Wallace? Stackhouse? He was defeated by a high school student. We have Theo, Jason, Sharif, and we will definitely win.

, and our coach is better, the Pistons are destined to lose..."

Seeing Liu Mang arrogantly not paying attention to the Pistons, Hornacek didn't know what to say and continued to ask: "Ace, the Pistons are the eighth defensive team in the league. Are you confident that we can do it today?"

Will it remain as efficient as before?”

"Of course, there is no doubt that I also scored more than 20 points against the Heat, which is third in defense this year. I can also perform well against the Pistons!"

"Okay..." Hornacek said the interview was over, and then turned to face the camera: "I just interviewed the popular rookie Ace Liu...Ace is very confident..."

Hornacek doesn’t know how to comment, this is live broadcast across the United States...

…

…

"Ding...the host is hostile to Detroit fans, and the reward for the gangster value is 3,000..."

"Ding... the host is regarded as an arrogant rookie by a large number of fans across the United States, and is rewarded with 5,000 rogue points..."

"Ding... the host is regarded as a confident rookie by a large number of fans across the United States, and is rewarded with 2,000 rogue points..."

Wow wow wow! Liu Mang returned to the locker room after the interview. It was probably because the live broadcast was delayed for a few minutes, and the reward arrived after a while!

Sure enough, irritating the fans of the visiting team will get more hooligan value!

At Atlanta's home court, Liu Mang's performance at this stage can no longer be better. His average of 14 points per game as a sixth man has surprised Hawks fans. More than one-tenth of the players at home are

Came here specifically to see him.

But just like Liu Mang's skills, they have reached a bottleneck. After all, no matter how popular he is as a rookie, he is still just a young rookie in the draft, and he is still on a team like the Hawks that has not received much attention. These days

Chinese players also have little market value. Wang Zhizhi and Battelle are good examples. Therefore, the fan base is still relatively small. If you want to further make the home fans like him more, you must have stronger strength. At present,

He said that most of the home fans cheered for him because he was a player of their own team.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But the last time we played against the Raptors, it gave Liu Mang some inspiration.

That's provoking away fans!

But how to provoke, there is no channel! The Pistons are not as glass-hearted as the Raptors fans, nor are the Cavaliers so miserable in the draft in recent years. The Pistons are a traditional strong team, and they will not take advantage of a rookie at all!

At this time, ESPN came to send warmth and helped Liu Mang a big favor.

Sure enough, when the live broadcast was sent to the fans who purchased the live broadcast of the game, Pistons fans were immediately unhappy. To their surprise, there were fans who hated him and fans who liked him at the same time across the United States.

Sure enough, basketball is just like what Kobe said. As long as there is strength, as many people love a star as many people hate him!

Liu Mang is somewhat capable, and his statistics are very impressive for this year's rookie, so this is the case.

Just when Liu Mang was excited to get some rogue points for such a simple interview, the system sound came again.

"Ding... The host arrogantly stated that he would blow up the Pistons and issued a temporary mission: Shine the Palace of Auburn Hills: Score 20 points in the next game against the Pistons. Mission completion reward: Pistons player Joan Barry's running skills, failed

Punishment: Take a selfie and post a video of pole dancing wearing only swimming trunks online.”

"...The system is your sister!"

…

…

A private room at the ESPN Television Station at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

"Pete, why are we interviewing a rookie? I admit that Ace Liu is considered good among this year's rookies, but he is just good." Hornacek asked doubtfully.

Pete Hill, one of the deputy editors of ESPN Sports.

"This is just a business decision, and Liu's answer is not bad, isn't it? The topic of today's game is finally there. The Chinese big man is about to enter the NBA, and the NBA and all basketball media want to seize this opportunity.

We are no exception," Peter Hill explained.
