1545. Move forward under pressure
"Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully winning the All-Star Weekend dance performance competition and making a name for himself in the literary and art circles. The next stage of the celebrity series of tasks is about to begin."
"Ding... Because the host has created a new dance type that can be widely promoted, it has gained rogue points..."
"Ding... The host's new dance moves are extremely popular among teenagers..."
"Ding... the host's new dance moves are wildly sought after by teenagers born in the 1990s and late 1980s in China..."
"..."
…
Back at the villa, Liu Mang soaked in the bathtub and looked at the rows of prompts.
Liu Mang had always thought that the audience for dancers was quite small, but he didn't expect that the rogue value would increase by more than two million so quickly. Liu Mang didn't understand why the system specifically prompted the post-85s and post-90s generations to be crazy about them.
Being so popular must have something to do with big stages like the All-Star Weekend, but before I was dragged into square dancing by Yao Ming and James, it didn't rise that much.
This must have something to do with the high praise it received from giants in the American dance industry.
This is how people are, if a big boss in an industry he doesn't understand praises a person, you will think he is really awesome.
Liu Mang is still surprised by that kind of high praise, but there is something even more painful.
After taking a bath and returning to bed, Levia had already fallen asleep. The little loli danced in front of people from more than 100 countries around the world that night. Although there were so many people in the dance troupe, it was unlikely that she would be remembered.
, Bianca Lane unexpectedly became famous, but the little loli was still very excited.
Liu Mang opened his laptop and saw the email from Schwartz.
This is something Schwartz asked him after he went to physical therapy for an interview during the All-Star game.
It was a project about a dance studio. After Liu Mang received an assignment from the NBA to perform a dance performance at the All-Star Weekend, he told Schwartz about it, and Schwartz immediately started thinking about it.
Moreover, now that Liu Mang's new dance has become an instant hit, Schwartz wants to do something even more.
Liu Mang originally thought about rejecting it, but if this aspect could get him more attention...
But Liu Mang really doesn’t want to live such a busy life. He doesn’t have enough training time every day!
But Schwartz said that McGrady was already planning to open a dance studio and build a studio, which, of course, would be affiliated with Liu Mang's company.
After Prince and James played in the All-Star Game, they started talking about cooperation with some professional media people, both of whom wanted to take advantage of the All-Star Weekend.
Liu Mang was really reluctant to give up this opportunity.
Fame and popularity are equal to money for public figures!
The name "Ais-Liu Dance Classroom" can be sold for money.
After thinking for a while, Liu Mang replied to the email...
Liu Mang really doesn't want to get involved deeply. It's okay to play occasionally, but he can let people from his own company come. Doesn't his company also have a little bun who is obviously doing advertising? Let the little bun learn to dance and make money.
…
It’s time for this little classmate to work and pay off his debts!

After the All-Star game ended, the Liu Mang family took a chartered flight back to Atlanta with the rest of the team, their families, and the coaching staff the next day.
New Orleans becomes unsafe as there are more people there, mainly because of the mixed crowds of tourists. Several vicious incidents have occurred in the past few days.
After returning to Atlanta, I took a day off. Although the outside world was very hot about "Ace Liu Shuffle Dance", "Ace Liu Dance Classroom" and other things, those who danced with Liu Mang before the All-Star Game
, some of them were also signed by Schwartz. Since we need to prepare a dance studio, we naturally need a group of dancers, and these dancers who have been taught by Liu Mang personally are the most suitable.
But Liu Mang still took his mind back and was ready to start preparations for the second half of the season.
Maddie's dance studio was also fully in charge of Schwartz, who contacted professionals to set up studios and dance studios.
After a night's rest, on February 22, the Eagles players returned to training at Phillips Arena after seven days.
The training intensity on the first day was quite intense, and Coach Kruger wanted the players to calm down.
But there is no need for Liu Mang to worry. McGrady’s goal at this stage is to avenge his humiliation. His performance last year was severely criticized.
Despite being a fun-loving player, Jason Terry has worked very hard throughout his career, but he really didn't play well last year. His fight and effort were also poor, and there's nothing that can be done about it.
Most of the Eagles are veterans, so there is no problem in terms of fighting spirit. People of this age group will not let themselves off in the second half of such a critical season. If they let things off, they will really have no chance of winning the championship.
The three brothers, O'Neal Jr., Finley, and Marion, have seven days of rest and train every other day to maintain their condition. Under Finley's leadership, they are quite professional.
Only Mason went overseas to collect stories...
There's no way around it. Mason's main job is painting, and playing basketball is just a side job...
The condition is unexpectedly good!
This makes Coach Kruger very satisfied.

On February 23, the Hawks faced their first opponent after the All-Star break, the Los Angeles Lakers.
The 2007-08 season for the Lakers was truly troubled. First, Ariza suffered a season-ending wrist fracture before the All-Star Weekend. Then, during the All-Star Weekend, another accident happened to the Lakers.
Lakers backup power forward Vladimir Radmanovic lied to the team that he had fractured his tibia and kneecap due to fatigue in training. At the time, it did not cause much reaction. People just felt that the Lakers were unlucky.
However, the Lakers were really unlucky, and Radmanovic was also unlucky. Someone filmed him falling while skiing. After reporters pursued him deeply, they got the inside information from the hospital. Radmanovic suffered a skiing fall.
He twisted his knee backwards and fractured his tibia, and some fans revealed that Radmanovic wandered around throughout the All-Star weekend and did not train at all...
During the All-Star Weekend, not many people noticed this matter, and their attention was all on the All-Star Game, but as soon as the All-Star Weekend ended, this matter became popular.
The Lakers have to show something no matter what they do. Skiing, riding motorcycles, etc. are all dangerous actions explicitly prohibited by the NBA. The Lakers officially announced before coming to Atlanta that Radmanovic was suspended for three games.
In other words, Radmanovic was not paid for the first three games while recovering from injury.
Other than that, the Lakers did not impose any penalties on Radmanovic.
What else can we do? They have already injured themselves. The Lakers still need this substitute pitcher who can play both the power forward and small forward positions when they come to the bench.
Maybe it's because Ariza and Radmanovic are missing, or maybe the Lakers players had too much fun during the All-Star Weekend. It can be seen from Radmanovic that he is really high. Maybe it's because
Without the small forward and backup power forward, the Lakers' morale has been somewhat damaged.
Of course, the biggest reason must be that the Eagles have continued their crazy state before the All-Star Weekend!
In the Eagles' home game against the Lakers, the Eagles played the Lakers throughout the game!
The last time they played against each other on Christmas Day, the Hawks and Lakers were evenly matched. The Hawks were even at a disadvantage because of Odom's explosion. They relied on Jason Terry's super explosion to maintain their lead.
With a weak lead, the three eagles finally defeated the Lakers.
But this time, the Lakers couldn't even make a shot of their own, and the Hawks shot whatever they wanted under the full defense of the Lakers!
115 to 97, the Hawks beat the Lakers by 18 points!
The Hawks got a total of 31 assists in this game. Liu Mang had 14 points and 16 assists, Brad Miller had 8 points and 8 assists, Rondo had 7 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. Tracy McGrady had 33 points, Wade had 19 points...
...Basically, you can get assists by passing the ball out, and your condition is so good!
Jason Terry is also a strange person. When the team is at a disadvantage, he can thrive. When the team is at an advantage, he can be as strong as he is.
For the Lakers, Kobe Bryant made 10 of 33 shots... without his outstanding performance against the Hawks in the past two years, it was time to be iron-clad. Yao Ming only made 2 of 11 shots and did not dare to take more shots. Gasol only scored 7
In every opportunity, he made 2 of 7 shots and scored 8 points.
On the other hand, Odom scored 20 points, 16 rebounds and 3 assists on 8-of-12 shooting. Odom used to get angry just when he saw Amar'e Stoudemire. That was because Stoudemire made rude remarks and hurt Odom.
, but the Eagles... maybe because Liu Mang offended Odom, Odom is very focused now when he sees the Eagles.
After the game, Kobe shot 27 times in the next two quarters after going 0 for 6 in the first quarter and only made 10. He played 40 minutes and hit 23 irons, which triggered a lot of criticism from the media.
The media is like this. If Kobe shoots less after going 0-for-6 in the first quarter and the Lakers lose, the media will criticize him for not shooting. He should just keep shooting the way he does. If he loses without shooting, he will also be criticized.
Liu Mang felt sorry for the little blacksmith who taught him so many skills for three seconds, and then excitedly opened a small account to go online...
This time Liu Mang learned the lesson and was not so direct. Instead, he pretended to be a fan of Little Blacksmith and exchanged insults with those black fans, which caused a bigger conflict...
It has become a habit to chat with fans online after games. It's not that Liu Mang likes to do that, but it's just to relieve the pressure.
After defeating the Lakers, the Eagles' record improved to 48 wins and 6 losses, a 27-game winning streak!
The 27-game winning streak broke the Eagles' previous record of 26-game winning streak, but it is also a kind of pressure!
The Hawks were actually under a lot of pressure when they played the Lakers. It was just that they were in good shape and the opponent was in poor shape, so they won easily. But the more they win, the greater the pressure.
Now this pressure of "cannot lose, dare not lose" hangs over the Eagles.
However, both the Eagles players and the coaching staff are forced to move forward!
Chapter completed!
