When Xu Yong's name was read out, the whole arena was filled with various emotions.
First, there was overwhelming cheers from the scene.
The criticism on social media only makes things seem to be under control, and the seeds of rebellion have already been sown in the hearts of fans.
The scores from the preliminaries judges made this seed quickly take root and sprout.
And Xu Yong's wonderful dunks one after another were like fertilizer and water, making it grow until it became a towering tree at this moment.
Facts have proved that the voice of fans may be suppressed for a while, but it cannot never be heard.
The more severe the suppression, the more severe the backlash.
Over at the commentary box, including Barkley and others who had previously supported James, they were all smiling.
No one's eyes are blind, and their previous judgments were more based on the situation.
But the situation will be reversed.
Media people, on the other hand, will just go with the flow.
In the front row of the audience, the All-Stars led by Kobe also stood up and applauded Xu Yong.
As NBA players, they know best the value of these dunks completed by Xu Yong. They deserve the championship tonight.
Fox looked at Xu Yong with strange eyes at this time.
She doesn't know much about basketball, but she has a basic understanding of things.
If he had only seen the good-looking side of Xu Yong playing in Los Angeles before, then tonight, she had seen the fierce side of Xu Yong.
Soul torture, you don’t really think that those girls who watch basketball really do it because they like basketball, right?
Of course, the one that attracts the most attention at this time is James.
Almost the moment the host announced the result, James' smile that he had barely squeezed out disappeared in an instant.
In fact, when he spoke just now, he already knew that he was likely to lose this championship.
But even after doing enough psychological construction, when the real result came, he found that he still couldn't accept it.
After all, he lost to Xu Yong, a rookie who not only successfully dunked him, but also emphasized this matter in front of the media reporters!
Since his debut, the Cavaliers have supported him, and any team he wants will fight for him with all their strength; the league also supports him, his walking has the lowest penalty rate in the league, and he feels a little embarrassed when the whistle is sometimes biased. Even sponsors like Nike continue to put pressure on media like ESPN to create a perfect personal image for him.
However, now he was stepped on by Xu Yong like this, in front of everyone.
It's like a person who is doted on by his grandparents, his parents, and his brothers and sisters. It doesn't matter if he is bullied by his older children, but now he is being bullied by his younger children. It is really difficult to get through this situation in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that it was still live on TV, and he stood in the middle of the field and was too eye-catching, he would have been in the tunnel for a minute.
After the host announced the results, he also handed the championship trophy to Xu Yong.
Xu Yong raised the trophy amid the cheers of everyone.
After he put down the trophy, the host handed him the microphone and asked him to give an acceptance speech.
"This was a wonderful dunk contest, not just me, but DeMar, LeBron, and Shannon, they all had wonderful performances, especially DeMar's windmill in the preliminaries and LeBron's free throw line dunk in the finals. , they gave me pressure and of course motivation.
A wonderful game requires an excellent opponent who can give the fans a wonderful dunk performance. I think this is the most important thing. "
Xu Yong didn't say anything weird, on the contrary, he said it very sincerely.
And he doesn't mind praising James. After all, when you win, praising your opponent is equivalent to praising yourself.
In fact, when Xu Yong finished his acceptance speech, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Sincerity is always the greatest nirvana.
Until Xu Yong finished speaking, James stared at Xu Yong, turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Xu Yong, on the other hand, gave DeRozan a tight hug first.
"Xu, can I touch your trophy?" DeRozan said with a smile after they separated.
Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, then handed the trophy to DeRozan.
"I will participate again next year." DeRozan touched the trophy and continued.
He originally wanted to decide the winner of the slam dunk contest with Xu Yong, but he was blocked from the finals like this. How could he be willing to do so?
"If necessary, I will be your assistant next year." Xu Yong replied with a smile.
"You won't participate next year?" DeRozan heard the implication of Xu Yong's words.
Xu Yong nodded.
Although he likes to dunk, he is actually not that enthusiastic about winning the dunk contest.
Firstly, it’s because the honor of winning the slam dunk contest doesn’t mean much. Winning the championship once is enough;
Secondly, and more importantly, participating in this kind of competition requires a lot of preparation time, which delays his training.
As for this participation, it is more to fulfill the agreement with DeRozan.
DeRozan felt a little pity, but Xu Yong reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Blake Griffin should be participating next year. Come on."
DeRozan immediately became energetic after hearing this. Griffin is also quite explosive in the dunk world. He has been canceled for the season this year and has no chance to participate. There is a high probability that he will participate next year.
"I have something else to do, I'm leaving first." At this moment, DeRozan suddenly said.
Xu Yong looked confused.
"Hi." Until a familiar voice came from behind.
He turned around and saw Fox with a smile on his face.
She was still wearing Xu Yong's jersey, her face was light red, and she looked very charming.
"Are you free tonight?" Fox said with a smile.
Xu Yong nodded.
…
In the suite on the top floor of the hotel, Xu Yong sat on the bedside, smoking a cigar. Fox lay in his arms, drawing circles on his chest muscles with his fingers.
After the two came out of the arena, they went to the carnival.
After they came out from shopping, the two of them went out for a drive in their sports car.
When Fox returned to the hotel, she took the initiative to kiss Xu Yong on the cheek to say goodbye, and then invited Xu Yong to sit upstairs after getting off the car.
Xu Yong did not refuse this time. The slam dunk contest has ended and his goal for this All-Star Game has been achieved.
As soon as the door to the upstairs room opened, Fox launched an offensive towards him.
Xu Yong felt quite comfortable at this time.
"You are much better than Brian." Fox stopped what he was doing, seemed to have regained some strength, and leaned against Xu Yong again.
"Your ex-boyfriend?" Xu Yong asked.
In his previous life, when he was in his thirties, his psychology was no longer as innocent as his current body.
He didn't say that he wanted to fall in love with someone just because he played poker with her. You should know that she is a Hollywood actress.
You don’t really think that real-life actresses are as innocent as those written by that novice author Min Rou Da Eggplant, do you?
You love me, it's just a moment of happiness.
At this time, Fox moved his body and brought his bare back to Xu Yong's eyes.
Only then did Xu Yong discover that there were words tattooed on it.
Brian Austin Green.
This should be the Brian Fox was talking about.
He really didn't see Fox wearing clothes when he was riding before.
It seems that this is not just an ex-boyfriend, but someone who has been in love for many years.
It seemed that he could understand why Fox was so proactive.
Question: When is a woman most likely to be taken down?
Answer: When she just broke up with her boyfriend of many years.
This is actually the so-called window period, otherwise why so many men find out that their ex-girlfriend is in love again after breaking up with them.
Excluding some that are green, this is more likely to be the case.
Of course, European and American actresses are more open in this regard and can play poker without falling in love.
After realizing this and looking at the name tattooed on his back, Xu Yong suddenly became interested again.
…
In the All-Star Game, Xu Yong played 14 minutes, contributed 10 points and 4 rebounds, and also showed off two dunks, still participating in a small way.
But the final MVP was interesting.
The Eastern team won 141 to 139, and the MVP was on the Eastern side.
James took a team-high 22 shots, but only scored 10 goals. He ended up with 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
Wade took 16 shots, hit 12 goals, and scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.
The MVP was naturally given to Wade in the end.
I can't understand this wave even in the All-Star Game, and it's useless even if I give them a chance.
Following the previous slam dunk contest, James lost the MVP again, which can be regarded as a wave of [good luck never comes in pairs, misfortunes never come singly].
After the All-Star Game ended, Xu Yong separated from DeRozan and the others and returned to Chicago with Noah Rose.
The All-Star Game is a watershed in the season. The first half of the season sets the tone for the game, and the second half of the season executes the tone.
Teams like the Knicks, Timberwolves, Kings, and Warriors that failed last season will continue to fail again this season.
The Bulls' tone in the first half of the season was the playoffs, so their second half of the season will naturally be to hit the rankings.
However, there is another very critical time point after the All-Star Game, and that is the annual trade deadline.
