1352. Extreme joy brings sorrow
"Hahahahaha, Ace, I really saw you right, brother..." O'Neal held the contract and excitedly hooked Liu Mang's neck and said.
"I have always thought that Shaq, you are very suitable for a program like this... But that matter..." Liu Mang smiled a little obscenely.
"I know, I will always pay attention to No. 24... Of course, it is the No. 24 on the west coast, not the one on the south coast." O'Neal also laughed obscenely.
There is only one "protagonist" in the program they recorded together today, a certain black snake who calls himself Mamba!
ESPN originally had no intention of inviting O'Neal to record the show, as they had criticized O'Neal quite a few times.
Although O'Neal wants to be on TV and have opportunities to shine outside of games like Liu Mang, otherwise he wouldn't have released records or guest-starred in movies, but he still wants to discuss cooperation with ESPN, which has done most of these things.
I can't keep my face down.
Other TV stations are not as fun and practical as ESPN. Even a professional sports media has been led astray by Liu Mang.
After all, these days, even if there is no separation of genres, there is still an obvious gap between them.
O'Neal tried hard to beat the Hawks last night, but failed.
In terms of running and gunning, the Suns are very good, but in this kind of rhythm change, coach Gentry is still a rookie.
At least in the past two years, the Suns had a very promising future before O'Neal was completely unstoppable. But now, it's still a little bit behind. They have done a good job offensively, but they just don't have defense.
At this stage, the Suns give people the impression of a surprising change on the offensive end. They caught the Hawks off guard in the first half, but after the Hawks strengthened their firepower in the second half, the situation turned around.
This is what the Suns will work hard to improve next.
O'Neal was originally very depressed after losing, but this morning, Liu Mang called him and invited him to record a program together. He had already thought of the theme to collect funny clips from recent NBA games and select the ones from the past week.
The five most embarrassing funny highlights, with O'Neal as the judge and commentator.
When O'Neal heard this, his original depression of losing was gone. Early in the morning, he came to the recording studio that ESPN had built overnight in Phoenix by borrowing equipment and venues from friendly stations, and recorded the program with Liu Mang.
And because of O'Neal's talent for comedy, ESPN, which broke the ice with O'Neal, also signed a contract with O'Neal and came to Phoenix to record "Five Embarrassing" with O'Neal once a week.
Money is secondary, O'Neal is excited about being able to cooperate with ESPN for a long time, which will allow him to appear more often.
O'Neal lamented that Liu Mang was much better than him in many aspects. He had a very bad relationship with Kobe and Liu Mang was so angry with Kobe that Kobe would still participate in some activities invited by Liu Mang.
O'Neal himself didn't like Liu Mang back then. He was just happy that Liu Mang and Kobe Bryant were fighting against him. But Liu Mang won three consecutive championships, two regular season MVPs, two scoring champions, in addition to the best team and best defensive team.
Although he has fewer honors than him, Liu Mang can no longer lose to him in terms of major honors.
Not only is it strong, it has done well in many other aspects. It has single-handedly launched a carbonated drink brand. Although Very Coke is not yet a rival to the two cola giants, it is already the third-largest selling carbonated drink brand in the United States.
The operation of commercial value has also been well developed. The endorsement fee ranks first among active players. This is inseparable from Liu Mang's frequent appearances on TV and causing trouble. O'Neal knows that he is at the end of his career. After this contract is over,
It's basically time to retire. He is the kind of person who spends money like water. Although he has some businesses of his own, he is worried about his exposure after retirement. This time he owes Liu Mang a favor.

On December 21st, the Hawks came to Dallas for a day of training to prepare for their second meeting with the Mavericks on the night of the 22nd.
In the evening, the Eagles players gathered in Liu Mang's room, and the Eagles coaching staff also came, wanting to watch Liu Mang's program.
When Liu Mang first started recording these programs a few years ago, the coaching staff...mainly Coach Kruger was very dissatisfied. Mike Woodson's dislike of Liu Mang was also due to these non-basketball factors.
But later they found out that although Liu Mang liked to toss, it would not affect the game, so they left it alone. Now Liu Mang's various programs are very popular, and they were also very interested, and wanted to see what Liu Mang was going to do this time.
Who is.
After Duncan was wildly praised by Liu Mang last time, he was targeted by his opponents in almost every game. His scoring average dropped by 20 points per game, but his assists increased to a career-high 4.1. The Spurs originally wanted to develop in a wretched way, but now they have to
Every day, teams want to beat the No. 1 power forward in history.
Today's live broadcast on ESPN is the game between the New Orleans Hornets and the Sherlock Bobcats. The showdown between Paul and Felton is still interesting to watch, especially in North Carolina. After all, they were once their team.
But the game wasn't very good to watch. Poor Paul didn't get two big helpers. Now he's not even as good as the Bobcats. The Bobcats are at least tenth in the Eastern Conference. The Hornets have already gone to compete for Oden.
Finally, it was time for the intermission. "Five Embarrassing" and "Details", which had been previewed yesterday and also announced on Liu Mang and O'Neal's Facebook, were broadcast successively...
The Eagles are having fun here, but the two big-shot players from the other two teams are experiencing great mood swings...
…
Over in Los Angeles, Kobe stayed in front of the TV early in the evening. When he saw in the news that Liu Mang and O'Neal had recorded a show together and that the second episode of "Details" would be broadcast today, he felt a chill coming from behind.
When individuals got together, he felt like he was being targeted!
In particular, O'Neal said in an interview that it was Liu Mang who asked him to record the show together and helped him get a long-term contract. From now on, the show will be broadcast every week. Kobe felt like his chrysanthemums were cool...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kobe knew that Liu Mang often pranked him, but it was okay, Liu Mang had a bottom line.
As for O'Neal, Kobe feels like he has no bottom line at all!
Sure enough, after two commercials were played during the intermission, "Five Embarrassing" sponsored by a well-known sports brand was broadcast, which was full of scenes of Kobe's mistakes before this season.
Moreover, the choices are as unbelievable as possible and the mistakes are as unbelievable as possible. Especially with O'Neal's dubbing and Liu Mang's timely laughter from the side, it looks as funny as possible.
Kobe had been mentally prepared for a long time, holding back his anger and preparing to see how Liu Mang would analyze him later. This was the key point. Duncan's shooting percentage was nearly 50%. Although Duncan adjusted
He was very powerful. He gradually adapted to the opponent's targeting and strengthened his passing, but the power of Liu Mang's analysis still worried Kobe.
but……
When "Details" aired, Kobe was stunned for a moment when he saw the cover character, and then burst into laughter...
"Hahahaha... You fat guy, do you really think he is so kind when you play with this despicable kid? It would be weird if you don't get played to death..."
…
Over in Phoenix, O'Neal saw that his wonderful performance in "The Big Five" made the teammates and coaching staff he invited to watch the show laugh non-stop. O'Neal began to brag and show off his comedy talent.
O'Neal also attached great importance to the subsequent "Details" program. In his opinion, it was definitely aimed at Kobe Bryant's failure to run away. The Eagles played the Lakers on the 25th.
But when the cover image of "Details" came out, O'Neal couldn't laugh anymore...
This time Liu Mang only announced in advance that the second episode of "Details" will be aired today together with the Five Big Sisters, but this time he did not announce in advance who he would target.
What ESPN means is that the two broadcasts together can boost the ratings of O'Neal's "The Big Five". The intermission is a time for many fans to go to the toilet or buy things, so Liu Mang's show can keep fans on the TV.
In front of the machine.
O'Neal also specially sent Liu Mang a preview of the second episode of "Details"...
…
…
Originally, the viewership for the game between the Hornets and Bobcats was mainly concentrated in North Carolina, and even the ratings in Oklahoma were average, mainly because the Sonics decided to move to Oklahoma in July 2008.
Ma and the Hornets are determined to return to New Orleans after the 2007-2008 season to help the rebuilding New Orleans regain its popularity.
New Orleans is in ruins. If you want to rebuild it, people have to come back to live there. The old people are happy to go back, but the young people are not necessarily so. So we need something to attract young people, and NBA teams are the best choice.
The owner of the Hornets does not want to move to Oklahoma City. The prospects of New Orleans on the seaside are much better than Oklahoma City.
However, this game, which was not originally a high-profile game, has seen a lot of ratings increase due to Liu Mang's program. Although the advertisements and programs between the games can be watched for free, many people have been waiting since the beginning of the game.
So, I bought a live broadcast by the way.
Liu Mang gets an advertising share of US$1 million from ESPN every year because he helps ESPN increase its ratings.
The same idea as the OK group, if Liu Mang and O'Neal get together, the person they are targeting must be O'Neal who has not run away.
The broadcast of "Five Embarrassing" confirmed the views of fans and the media, but after the broadcast of "Details"...
Everyone understands...
O'Neal was cheated!
After the game between the Hawks and the Suns on December 19, Liu Mang and Mike Woodson carefully studied how to limit the jam-shark combination. There were not many ways to deal with it, but at least there were some, such as using the combination
Use a meat shield center as a substitute, or replace the center in advance to deal with O'Neal when the Suns cannot guard the Suns' main lineup without O'Neal, etc. This is what the Hawks did in the second half.
On the morning of the 20th, before O'Neal arrived at the TV station for his appointment, Liu Mang had finished recording the five-minute program targeting O'Neal in advance...
O'Neal looked at the detailed analysis of himself that he promoted. He was originally very grateful to Liu Mang, but now he wants to bite Liu Mang to death!
Chapter completed!
