1044. The future of three pillars(1/2)
NBA headquarters.
"Boss, ESPN, T.N.T, and Time Warner are all going to broadcast this game. Which company will broadcast it?" Adam Silva came to David Stern's office to ask for instructions.
David Stern looked at the post on the Internet that said "Kobe Bryant's scoring ability is the best in history" and then read the news that the Clippers refused to give Liu Mang tickets. He pondered for a while and said: "It's broadcast today.
The ratings for the late game will definitely be high, so you should also promote this game and expand the influence of this game."
"I know, boss." Although Adam Silva found it a bit troublesome to communicate with the three TV stations, this is what he is good at.
"etc."
Adam Silva stopped: "Boss, are there any other arrangements?"
"Well," David Stern thought for a while and said: "Make a promotional video to build momentum for the game between the Lakers and the Hawks on January 1st, focusing on Kobe's 80 points, and let the columnist analyze Kobe's game against the Lakers.
The importance of the team’s three consecutive championships, the focus is on the Lakers’ three consecutive Western Conference playoffs, do you understand?”
Adam Silva nodded to express understanding.
Watching Adam Silva leave, David Stern continued to browse the forum, unable to stop smiling on his face.
"Clippers refuse to give away Ace tickets"
This news does not require too much writing, gimmicks, or headlines. All major media simply use this title as their headline.
Of course, the second piece of news on the right side of the headlines is Kobe's 80 points in a single game.
However, the Clippers "assisted" and Liu Mang successfully passed on Kobe's unhappiness with scoring 80 points to the Clippers.
The media and fans feel that Clippers owner Sterling is crazy!
Liu Mang had no reason to score points. If he was too far ahead to score points, the Clippers players would definitely not do it, unless he started to get angry when the score was behind like Kobe, and the score was still anxious when the score reached 60 points in the third quarter.
, Liu Mang has the chance to score higher.
Otherwise, just like when Liu Mang scored 60 points in three quarters before, he would have to rest after the game, and the fourth quarter would be completely garbage time.
But the Clippers didn’t give out tickets!
Coupled with the news about Liu Mang from China, Liu Mang boasted to the Chinese media that he would score 81 points in a single game, and now the Clippers have provoked Liu Mang again.
Fans and the media can't understand how the Clippers owner has grown up. He has been in Los Angeles for more than 20 years, has only made a few playoff appearances, and has angered the league's strongest players time and time again.
Didn't you learn a lesson after being beaten by O'Neal last time?
Originally, this game was not broadcast live in the United States. Liu Mang promised to score 81 points. Since there was no video interview, major TV stations were still waiting to watch. However, as soon as the news came out that Sterling refused to give Liu Mang tickets, T.N.T, ESPN, and Time Warner
The three major cable TV stations all approached the NBA to broadcast this game.
David Stern has been looking for a star other than James who can compete with Liu Mang. James' peak is estimated to take a few years. David Stern can wait, but it would be better if there is one at this stage.
.
Kobe had a great start to the season, scoring 50 points 4 times in 23 games. In the 24th game, he scored 80 points!
The previous controversy over the Colorado case has now passed, and Kobe is on the same team as Yao Ming again, but with the Lakers.
"Three superstars duel?" David Stern seemed to have seen an era more exciting than the Magic Bird era!
Although Jordan's era was great, Jordan only reached the finals six times and won six times. He was invincible to the extreme.
Although this made the NBA popular all over the world, the Bulls and Jordan were popular, and the NBA was only incidental.
In contrast, the Magic Birds Showdown in the 1980s was the key to the surge in NBA revenue. Before Jordan won his first three consecutive championships, NBA revenue had already skyrocketed, which is why the salary surge in the early 1990s occurred.
On the Heat side, David Stern has no hope. It can be seen that the Heat have been working hard for the past two years. They may collapse one day, or they may collapse immediately next season.
The Lakers' Kobe Bryant's popularity has soared again this season, and with Yao Ming, Los Angeles will never let David Stern down, and he decided to support Kobe.
In addition, Liu Mang, who is now in his prime, and James, who was appointed by David Stern, are also performing well. He believes that James can be a player of the same level as Kobe Bryant and Liu Mang in the future.
There are also the Mavericks...the Suns, the SuperSonics and...the Spurs. David Stern is depressed when he thinks of the Spurs, but think about the battle between Liu Mang, Kobe, and James in the next five years. After Kobe gets old, Liu Mang will still be there.
At the peak, if James can continue to play, maybe the three-person team will have a chance to be at the top together!
Three pillars of confrontation! Multiple teams compete for hegemony!
David Stern burst into laughter thinking about this.
…
…
"Hahahaha, Tracy, this is not a difficult thing. Just ask Ace, right? It's very trivial and you can get it easily, right Ace."
Kobe specially found two drivers, and also specially called McGrady, and they went to Liu Mang's house to pick up Liu Mang's family to watch the game, not deliberately showing off his 80 points.
How many years has it been? How many years has it been since Kobe Bryant smiled like this? Mainly because in front of Liu Mang, he hasn't had the opportunity to be so arrogant for a long time.
Kobe and Yao Ming will take their families to watch the game today. This time Sterling gave tickets to Kobe and Yao Ming but not to Liu Mang. Kobe watched the news and became even more proud after knowing the news. He specially gave Liu Mang tickets.
After resting in the afternoon, when I went home to pick up my family and go to the arena to watch the game, I asked Tracy McGrady to take him to Liu Mang's villa in Los Angeles to pick up Liu Mang's family.
Today I went to watch the game with Liu Mang. The whole family went, including the two babies held by Alexia and Levia.
Today Liu Mang bought three courtside tickets and booked a box. Liu Mang’s father, little Lolita, and bodyguard Christine Wagner were watching the game from the sidelines. Alexia and Liu Mang’s mother
Take care of the baby in the box together.
Kobe hired two drivers and drove two commercial vehicles to pick up Liu Mang. The two girls, the two children, and Liu Mang's parents were in another car. On Kobe's side, Liu Mang, the little Lolita, the bodyguard, and Tracy McGrady
Let Kobe take a car.
Then, Kobe started to show off.
No wonder Kobe is so happy this time.
Liu Mang used to criticize him during the commentary, and Kobe already knew it.
In this matter, Kobe believes that justice lies in the hearts of the people! Whoever learns from it will use it first. This is obvious. People will definitely not believe what Liu Mang said.
Kobe believes that this world has its own destiny!
However, Kobe, an electronic idiot who only reads newspapers and TV news, did not expect that people on the Internet deliberately made sarcastic remarks, saying that Kobe learned from Liu Mang by peeking at Liu Mang's basketball skills when he was in junior high school in China and learned the back-up shot.
…
Among active NBA perimeter players, there are no players who dare to directly criticize Kobe Bryant's strength. Even Iverson and Liu Mang cannot be so direct. Iverson dared to publicly criticize Kobe Bryant, even though there is an MVP and a scoring champion, but the two of them played against each other.
Kobe wins more times.
Only Liu Mang, one of the only three current Finals MVPs, could point at Kobe's nose and say, "I'm better than you," from statistics to honors. Kobe's character couldn't talk back, just like Jordan said to him.
Same as "I Have Six Championships".
In fact, from the time Liu Mang won the scoring title, Kobe Bryant was verbally inferior to Liu Mang, and from the time Liu Mang won the regular season MVP, he was even better.
After Liu Mang won the championship and was crowned double MVP, Liu Mang has been compared with Duncan O'Neal and is a contender for the top ten goalkeepers in history. If Liu Mang wins another MVP or a championship, he will definitely be among the top ten goalkeepers in history.
.
Liu Mang has begun to accumulate honors and improve his historical status. Kobe is still working hard for his achievements after getting rid of O'Neal. Although he has three championships, before he won the championship with the Finals MVP, Kobe was always overpowered by Liu Mang.
, just like being suppressed by Duncan and O'Neal.
But now, as far as this is concerned, Kobe can finally show off!
There is no doubt that this 80-point game is a game that can lay the foundation for a part of history.
McGrady looked helpless, this guy Kobe... is showing off! Next time I play a game with you, I will guard you to death!
Liu Mang felt sorry for his 90,000 US dollars and the situation of not giving face to the Clippers. He was already unhappy. Now seeing Kobe's proud look, Liu Mang was even more unhappy!
"Damn Clippers, I can't kill you!" Liu Mang became even more angry.
…
…
When we arrived at the Staples Center parking lot, Yao Ming and his wife, Wang Zhizhi and his wife, Vanessa and Kobe's eldest daughter were all waiting.
The Lakers don't have a game today, and the next game is also at home, so I went to watch the game.
Kobe took Liu Mang and his family into the stadium through the staff tunnel. Liu Mang entered the gym through the player tunnel and came to the visiting team's training ground.
Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady came quite early, arriving at 5:30. The teammates had a nutritious meal at the hotel and took a rest. They all arrived at the Staples Center at close to 6 o'clock.
When Liu Mang was about to warm up, the staff came to ask for instructions and said that someone was looking for him.
Liu Mang came to the conference room arranged by the Clippers. It was Yi Jianlian!
"Boss Ace, long time no see." Yi Jianlian came up and gave him a hug.
"Oh, Sister Lian, you are back. I went to your school the day before yesterday to find you but you were not there. Which man took you away?" Liu Mang continued to tease Yi Jianlian.
"Boss! I told you not to call me Lian Mei!"
"I understand, Sister Lian, okay, Sister Lian."
"..."
Liu Mang saw that Yi Jianlian seemed to be in good condition and took a look at Yi Jianlian's ability evaluation.
"Ding...Yi Jianlian, analyzed at the NBA level, has an ability rating of 65, an offense of 71, and a defense of 60."
To be continued...
