One Guard

Under the scene of Yiyang and Owen holding up the MVP trophy of the Rookie Competition, the Rookie Challenge came to an almost perfect ending.

Although the game is over, for the players, their day's work does not end here. This is essential to deal with large numbers of reporters and fans during the All-Star Game. After the game, there will naturally be countless reporters flocking to the players.

As Jeremy Lin and Yiyang are popular fried chickens, the media interviewed them the most after the game. The NBA had to prepare a media reception room for them, and this was only available to President David Stern in the past. treatment.

Griffin, the pretentious All-Star starting power forward, can only lean in front of the locker and accept interviews from reporters in a small and unbearable space.

"What do you think about winning the Rookie Game MVP trophy for the second consecutive year? You must know that no player has ever won this award for two consecutive years before. But also, he once again broke the historical record. Does this mean that Is his talent better than anyone here tonight?" The reporters weren't trying to hide from Griffin. The "good" relationship between Griffin and Yiyang is no secret in the league, so reporters also like to pick some sensitive enough topics to ask questions.

"For today's game, I don't think it is necessary to work too hard. Everyone is entertaining and showing off, so I also offered to Shaq today to reduce my playing time. When Jeremy Lin first came today, I also Tell him so. So, he only played 9 minutes today and didn't play again. After all, we will also feel very tired after playing in the All-Star weekend under the high intensity of the game. No one in history Being able to win the rookie game MVP trophy for two consecutive years is not because he can't do it, but because they feel that after winning it once, there is no need to win it again, so they will leave the opportunity to others and leave the stage to others to show And this guy, he seems to be a utilitarian. As long as he can win the prize, he doesn't care about the occasion. I just enjoyed today's game, and I didn't want to compete with them." Griffin pretended to be indifferent, as if Yang was able to win the award entirely because of his "charity".

"Speaking of playing time, he also played three consecutive days in the All-Star Weekend, but he still played 36 minutes today. You only have two games this year, but you only played 11 minutes. So, it is not possible. Are you tired?"

When the reporter asked this question, Griffin's face turned green. He knew that the guy who interviewed him was trying to find fault.

"Tiredness is not the reason I don't want to play, I just...you know? I just want to put all my energy on the All-Star Game! The stage of the rookie game is not better for younger people Is it?" Griffin hurriedly explained, but the reporter had contentedly recorded all the conversation.

On the other side, the reception room specially prepared by the NBA for Jeremy Lin and Yi Yang. A reporter also asked similar questions to Yiyang, but Yiyang's answer was completely different from Griffin's.

"I will try my best to play every game, even the exhibition game. It is undeniable that this is just a show, but it does not mean that we will not work hard just because it is a show. Could it be that those who came to watch the All-Star Game Didn’t the fans pay for the tickets? Since they paid to see us play, we must be responsible for giving them a great show. Winning awards is not my purpose, my purpose is only for the game itself.”

Yiyang's mature response to reporters is completely different from last season. It seems that Yiyang's improvement is not only on the basketball court. Off the court, Bill Duffy, the ace manager, should have worked hard on Yiyang.

Yiyang and Griffin's answers were compared by countless media and reporters the next day. Griffin, who thinks he is smart, once again played with fire and set himself on fire, being overwhelmed by the fans' saliva.

"Since Blake thinks that everyone doesn't have to work hard,

Then it's fine if he just doesn't participate! Believe me, if he is replaced by the Nuggets' "Orc" Faried, the game may look better! "

"What does it mean to focus on the All-Star Game? He also has to participate in the All-Star Game, and he is going to participate in the dunk contest today! But, did he deliberately squeeze his playing time for this?"

"I liked Griffin very much before, because he was really brave and daring to fight. But his speech yesterday really disappointed me. We like to watch fierce games, but Griffin has nothing to do with the rookie game. Not sad. Forget it, I will go to Dangyi's fans in the future."

"Yicai is a real professional player! Like it!"

"MVP is also, believe me, in the future, it will not only be the MVP of the rookie game!"

The next day, there were a lot of discussions about Yiyang and Griffin's remarks on the Internet. Griffin originally wanted to use the excuse of not having much playing time to excuse his failure to perform well, but he dug a big hole for himself instead.

Sure enough, a hard-working professional player is welcome wherever he goes. Although the Los Angeles media is still touting the fact that Griffin was selected as the All-Star starter, there is no doubt that Yiyang's popularity in the All-Star Game has far surpassed Griffin.

The day after the Rookie Challenge, the All-Star Game was still in full swing. Today, the most important competition is undoubtedly the three individual events of skill challenge, slam dunk and three-pointer. But in fact, in one day, it is not just as simple as these three games.

During the day, the players participating in the slam dunk competition will be arranged and warmed up on the field. To put it more simply, it is to rehearse first for the evening game. Which props are placed where, what music and lighting are used at what time, all these require players to communicate with the on-site staff in advance.

Yiyang saw that his opponents seemed to have prepared some very fancy things. That guy, Derek Williams, even rode a Harley into the arena. And George said something to the lighting guy on set, as if there was a stage where the lights were going to be turned off.

Anyway, Yiyang's opponents play in all kinds of ways. And Yiyang, who attracted the most attention, was the most low-key one during the rehearsal.

"Don't look at the fancy things they do, they are actually bluffs. The slam dunk contest is so down-to-earth because it is too formal. Is this still a slam dunk contest? It can be called a stage effect planning contest. It is creative. It’s a good thing, but the theme of dunking is lost because of creativity, which is putting the cart before the horse.” Seeing Yiyang staring straight at other people’s flashy things, Carter immediately went up to chat with him.

"It's true that we don't have so many fancy preparations, but we will use real dunks to conquer the fans! Do you want to practice those moves later?"

"Well, I have to find time to practice later. There are a few places, and I'm not sure yet." Yiyang nodded silently, because the league only notified Yiyang that he would come to replace him a few days before the start of the All-Star Game Shumpert's, so Yiyang didn't have as much time to prepare as others. Up to now, he has only taken time to practice with Carter a few times, and the movements have basically taken shape, but not every time he succeeds.

"Okay, let's find a place to practice later. But you have to remember, after playing, don't put a stone on your heart. If you put a stone on your heart, you can't fly. You have to treat the whole audience as you In the territory, everyone came to see your performance. Then, you can blow up the whole audience!"

Seeing Carter and Yiyang whispering, many players showed envious expressions. They also really want to cooperate with this former demigod, but not everyone has that kind of opportunity.

Just when everyone else was expecting what props Yiyang and Carter would bring up to set up their positions. Carter and Yiyang, the old guard and the young guard, turned around and left the warm-up scene!

"what!?"

"Impossible? Don't they have any props!?"

"Blinding the eyes, it must be blinding the eyes!"

Under the astonished gazes of the people, Carter and Yiyang disappeared within the range of the warm-up venue. No one knew exactly what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd by those two scary guys.

※※※

In the time after today, the Amway Center also held the All-Star Game of the Development League. Originally, Jeremy Lin should have appeared in this game, but now, he has undoubtedly gained a firm foothold in the NBA.

Subsequently, Yiyang and Hayward participated in the fan Jialianhua event. Although these two guys are not the biggest stars in Orlando, they still attract a lot of fans to interact with themselves.

On the street basketball court in Orlando, Yiyang once again met Payton, who had seen his own dunk, and a group of street dunk players brought by Payton.

Payton encourages Yiyang to dunk dunks with these amateur players on the street, but Yiyang politely refuses. He knew that he had to save his physical strength for tonight's highlight.

Fan Jialianhua's victory is over, BA individual events start one by one, shooting stars, skill challenges, and three-point contests are all proceeding step by step. Of course, during these matches, the commentators would always mention Yiyang from time to time.

"I heard that during the warm-up for the slam dunk contest during the day, Yi and Carter left the scene without making any moves or taking out any props. Do you think this will be a smoke bomb? Or is it because the time is tight so they don't have time at all. Prepare anything?" Mike Breen, who explained the three-point contest, asked Payton, the special guest beside him.

Payton smiled slightly, thinking of the scene of Yiyang dunking in front of him without any preparation on the streets of Los Angeles last year.

"No, it's not that they don't have time to prepare, but they don't bother to prepare any props at all. Carter and Yi, these two guys, only talk about the dunk itself!"

"Oh? Have you seen the dunk that Yi prepared?" Mike Brin couldn't help being a little puzzled seeing Payton's confidence.

"Of course not, you know, I'm neither a fan of Yi, nor a fan of the Mavericks. So, I have no possibility of approaching them. But ... yes, I have seen Yi take it out for dunks. The show. All I can say is, he'll dislocate everyone's jaws!"

With Payton's mysterious smile, Mike Brin is looking forward to the next dunk contest. He really wanted this bloody 3-point shootout to be over, no one wanted to watch this stuff right now.
