Chapter 101
Wall returned to the field, and Tang Wenlong returned to the flank.

The feeling of controlling the ball is good, at least like in this kind of game that doesn't care about winning or not, he can use his imagination at will, free and not bound.

By the time the second half passed half a quarter, the scores of the two teams had broken through to triple digits.

"Tang, are you really not going to compete for the MVP of this rookie game?"

Wesley Johnson's thighs trembled, chatting casually with Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong chuckled, and said indifferently: "Of course, I don't care about this honor at all, so what if I won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge."

Wesley Johnson praised: "You are always so targeted, it seems that you have reached a level that I can't catch."

Tang Wenlong patted Wesley Johnson on the shoulder and grinned.

Wesley Johnson sighed, "If you don't fight for this MVP, you will probably be taken away by DeMarcus. This guy has scored 20 points now. He is really a big killer inside."

"Not always!"

Tang Wenlong showed a mysterious smile, and his eyes were fixed on the technical statistics now displayed above his head.

"Wall passed the ball very well today, and he has already scored 15 assists. If there are a few more assists, it may break the record."

Wesley Johnson saw that it was indeed so.

"This guy hides so deeply that I didn't even notice."

While the two were chatting, the first-year team suddenly took the lead.John - Wall completed a steal, and Griffin two people under the fast break.

At the three-point line, the two looked at each other, and Wall suddenly hit the ground.

It was like hitting a ball on the floor. After hitting the floor, the basketball flew high, and after a trajectory, it appeared near the basket.

Griffin understood, took a big stride to keep up, turned [-] in the air, and completed a dunk with both hands behind the basket.

"Wow!" The audience exclaimed.

Wesley Johnson next to Tang Wenlong also opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and made a shocked expression in coordination, which happened to be captured by the cut camera.The more exaggerated ones in the stands, such as the New York superstar Amare Stoudemire, made a gesture of worship, which attracted the attention of the cameraman.Tang Wenlong, on the other hand, was relatively calm. No matter what, he always had the humility of an oriental sign.

With the last 10 minutes left in the game, the first grade 113 led by 107 points to 6.

"Ha, this game is about to enter the best time!" Joe Thomas said to Fang Chuxia beside him, he was a professional scout before becoming Tang Wenlong's agent!

Fang Chuxia has also watched many games, and knows that this is the so-called critical moment.

"Why doesn't Wenlong play anymore? It's rare for me to come to watch him play live. He doesn't perform well." Girls' points are always so strange. If Tang Wenlong knew Fang Chuxia's mentality now, maybe he would take it back. The idea of ​​vying for Rookie Challenge MVP.

A few minutes later, Tang Wenlong was replaced to participate in the final moments of the game.

The most fighting spirit of the second-year team is Holiday, who scored the highest 25 points, followed by Blair from the Spurs, and the black big man also scored 20 points, and his strength should not be underestimated.So the coach also wisely put these two best players on the court, supplemented by Curry, DeRozan and others.

With only one minute left in the game, the first grade led the second grade by 1 points 139 to 130, basically declaring that the victory belongs to the first grade.

Wall also staged a behind-the-back dunk at the last moment, winning applause.

Tang Wenlong contributed 22 points in 17 minutes of the game, including 4 dunks, and the flight attendant cooperation with Griffin was the most brilliant.

Amidst the ribbons, flowers and applause, the sponsor Kano walked onto the podium from behind the scenes, holding a small note representing the name of the MVP in his hand.

"It's either DeMarcus Cousins ​​or John Wall. It's really cheap for Kentucky." Wesley was a little unconvinced, but he was the NCAA champion.

"Hey, it doesn't matter." Tang Wenlong clapped his hands absent-mindedly, his eyes flicked, and he didn't know what he was looking for.

All the first-year players stood on the podium. The temporary podium was not small. After standing on such a group of strong men, two or three staff members and sponsor Kano could also stand on it. .

"Hey, get high!" Wesley Johnson and Monroe shook hands rhythmically, having a great time.

After the host's remarks, Kano walked to the stand-up microphone, lowered it slightly, and cleared his throat.

"Cough cough~"

"In 2011, the MVP of the NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge was—"

"John Wall!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience burst into cheers. The 22 assists broke the record of the Rookie Challenge. The impact was not small. Many female stars on the sidelines blew kisses, which made Wall, who was pushed to the front of the stage, a little flushed. Yes, although I can't see anything because my skin is too dark.

"I would like to thank my teammates, without their super scoring ability, I would not have won this award, thank you, thank you all."

Wall talked eloquently, and when he talked about his teammates, his eyes turned to Tang Wenlong from the corner of his eye.

Tang Wenlong didn't care at all, even the frequency of applause didn't change, and Tang Wenlong's expression didn't change at all from the beginning to the end, not like a star who came to participate in the NBA All-Star Weekend, but like a stranger preparing to watch a football game.This caused his originally high mood to drop slightly, and he suddenly felt that winning this award was also boring.

After the award ceremony, Hayward invited Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson to invite them.

"Play 2K together tonight? I invite you."

"No." Wesley - Johnson refused.

Tang Wenlong also shook his head, "No, I have other things to do, you can go to Greg (Monroe), he is empty anyway."

"Hey, you are all so busy." Hayward didn't force it, waved his hands and really went to find someone else.

Tang Wenlong said hello and farewell to his acquaintances one by one, and walked towards the players' tunnel.

As we walked, a reporter and a camera suddenly appeared nearby.Then two reporters, three reporters... until the last group of reporters surrounded Tang Wenlong.

"How could the media be so crazy." This was Tang Wenlong's first reaction.

When he took a closer look, he suddenly realized that the microphones handed over by a bunch of reporters were common media in China. It turned out that this group of enthusiastic reporters came from a distant hometown.

"Tang Wenlong, can you tell me how you feel about participating in the All-Star Weekend for the first time?"

"Tang Wenlong, are you confident of winning the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest tomorrow?"

"Are you ready to be the first Asian trapeze?"

A bunch of questions buzzed in Tang Wenlong's ears. The situation made him quite embarrassed, and he was even a little angry, but when the standard and missed Mandarin came out, it seemed to be injected into his heart all at once. All the unhappiness disappeared, even a little cordial feeling.

"Please go to the locker room for interviews, please!" The official staff ran over, wanting to stop everyone.

Tang Wenlong stopped the official staff, "It's okay, I'll interview here first."

His actions immediately won everyone's gratitude, and the reporters gradually calmed down. Everyone gave Tang Wenlong room to move, but the microphone still refused to move away.

"Let's go to the side for interviews, and ask everyone one by one." Tang Wenlong pointed to the seat next to him. He was too tall compared to ordinary people. They raised their hands to take the microphone, which seemed to be very laborious.

So, the crowd surrounded Tang Wenlong and sat on the side seats. Tang Wenlong sat down with a bunch of microphones in his hands.

On the other side of the court, Fang Chuxia and Joe Thomas watched Tang Wenlong being "overwhelmed" in dumbfounded.

"Why did the interview start? I'm still waiting for him to leave with me." Fang Chuxia pouted, not happy.

"Let's go, let's go first, we need to take a shower later, he probably will take a while." Joe Thomas saw this posture and was about to run away.

He seemed to see that Fang Chuxia was a little unhappy, and persuaded him, "Fang, there is no way, this is the NBA. Every player here is at least a millionaire, and the income of the players here is the dream of ordinary people for several lifetimes. Here It is also the place with the highest exposure and the easiest way to become famous, and there are business opportunities everywhere. As the hottest rookie, Tang Wenlong is the protagonist tonight, not to mention that he is still from China, and the NBA is currently the most important overseas market in the future. You know this What does it represent?" After speaking, he made a gesture of counting money.

Fang Chuxia shook her head helplessly, "Joe, I'm fine. I understand all of this, and I understand him too. His goal, his dream, as you said, this is the NBA"

Joe Thomas smiled: "Let's go, let him interview, let's go first, you have his car keys."

"Oh, so that's what he meant by putting the car keys on me. He had expected all of this a long time ago!" Fang Chuxia suddenly realized, remembering the time when Tang Wenlong stuffed the keys into her hand before entering the Staples Center. significance
