Chapter 403: Power Source

Despite the small population base of Orlando, Orlando International Airport, located in the southeast corner of the city, is indeed the most luxurious airport in Central Florida.

6 floors, an airport subway, 129 gates, and multiple stores about Disney World Orlando. And there are flights from almost all major airlines, as well as charter and discount routes. Orlando International Airport is the air transportation hub for the entire central state of Florida, which of course means that countless people from outside the city will flock to Orlando.

Yiyang and Nowitzki came by plane alone, and Cuban lent his Boeing 757 directly to the two. In a medium-sized and large passenger plane that can carry 200 people, only Yiyang and Nowitzki are the group. The way the two of them travel can be said to be quite extravagant.

With such a relationship, Yiyang and Nowitzki's appearances are quite high-profile. Kuban has a lot of money, and the most important thing is that he is never stingy. An airplane seemed to him to be a toy, and he borrowed it when he said it. When reporters saw the Mavericks logo on the Boeing 757 landing at Orlando International Airport, everyone was excited. They set up long guns and short cannons, just waiting for Yiyang and Nowitzki to appear!

"I always said that we would just come on a regular flight. Well, now we have to face the siege of reporters again. Yiyang, who was taking his luggage, looked at the reporters on the third floor and the outer three floors at the exit of the airport, and already felt a splitting headache. Yiyang would rather fight Paul for 300 rounds on the field than deal with pestering reporters.

"It's the place for All-Star Weekend, too. You have to get used to it, because you're the one who stands out everywhere! Nowitzki smiled at Yiyang, this kind of scene, the Germans are used to it. Looking at Yiyang's overwhelmed appearance, Nowitzki seemed to see himself when he was young.

After picking up their luggage, the group began to approach the exit. The reporters' flashes have been lit up in advance, and if Yiyang hadn't been wearing a pair of sunglasses, he might have been so shaken that he couldn't even open his eyes.

"Three...... Two...... One ......" Yiyang silently counted down in his heart, and when he counted one, it meant that he had officially entered the "encirclement". Sure enough, dozens of microphones were immediately stretched out to Yiyang's mouth.

"Also, are you confident that you can win this slam dunk contest!?"

"Who do you think will win the rookie game between your O'Neal team and Irving's Barkley team!?"

"Blake. Although Griffin was selected to the All-Star Game a year later than you, he has become a starter for the Western Stars this year, and you can only appear as a substitute player, what do you think about such a thing? ”

Journalists' questions are not only numerous, but also increasingly acute. That's why Yiyang doesn't like to be interviewed, these guys will only get more and more inches in order to attract attention for the news, so they almost ask what color underwear you are wearing today.

Seeing that Yiyang had no intention of answering the question, the reporters immediately changed their focus. In addition to Nowitzki, Carter, who traveled with Yiyang, also became the favored object of reporters.

"Vince, will you let Yi replicate your classic moves!?"

"No comment." Carter smiled and waved his hand, although it seemed that he was much closer to the people than Yiyang, but in fact the reporters also got nothing.

"You came all the way to Orlando to prepare for the slam dunk contest, right?"

"No comment."

"Vince, people say, you saved the slam dunk contest in 2000. So are you confident that you will save this event again in 2012? ”

Hearing this, Carter paused and seemed to think seriously for a moment.

The reporters were overjoyed and immediately stretched out the microphone, as if they wanted to put the microphone directly into Carter's mouth.

After a few seconds, a thoughtful Carter burst out of his mouth with a word. "No comment."

Carter, the old fritter, put the reporters on the table again. Seeing that Yiyang and Carter are tight-lipped, the reporters don't have much to do, you can't pry open other people's mouths and let them "confess and be lenient".

It seems that the suspense of the slam dunk contest will not be revealed until the day of the game. I really don't know what Yiyang will do with Carter's help. Now not only the fans, but even these reporters who are used to seeing big scenes are also full of curiosity about this year's slam dunk contest.

Originally, it was only five minutes from the airport exit to the place where the bus was taken, but under the blockade of reporters, the three of them walked for nearly 20 minutes before finally getting on the bus under the protection of airport security.

"Looks like people are interested in what you do in the slam dunk contest." Sitting in the car and looking at the reporters who were still in pursuit, Carter shook his head. Now this era of Internet development and news explosion is really terrifying, where is it possible for him to participate in the slam dunk contest at that time.

"I'm a substitute anyway, just to have fun." Yiyang spread his hands, and the entry point for Cuban to persuade him to participate in the slam dunk contest was higher popularity and greater commercial value.

For the poor Yiyang, the greater commercial value undoubtedly touched him deeply. Otherwise, this kind of entertaining competition Yiyang is completely uninterested.

"Since you're here, let's take a dunk king back!" Nowitzki joined the two in the discussion. "In the history of the Mavericks, there has never been a championship in the Slam Dunk Contest. It's up to you to open this head! ”

"It's like the dunk king can be taken casually." Yiyang smiled and turned his head to look out the window.

"This year's slam dunk contest, you're the only focus. Believe me, the title of dunk king must be yours! ”

In the official NBA car, the group drove into downtown Orlando and began to run towards the hotel.

Orlando, with a population of only 220,000, is not as cosmopolitan as New York and Los Angeles. But Orlando is definitely the most "dreamy" land in the whole of America.

Orlando is home to the world's largest Disneyland park, along with Los Angeles Disneyland, the Orlando Museum of Art, the Orange County Museum of History, and nearby Harry Gardens in the Rockhaven area, as well as the largest marine world in the United States. It is worth mentioning that "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter", a collaboration between Warner Bros. and Universal Studios, is located in the 787-acre theme park in Orlando between the two major film studios. Disney World, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and countless other attractions make it one of the best places to visit in the hearts of Americans. The beauty of Orlando lies in its colorful, novel, dynamic, fantastical and pleasant warmth. Here, you can see a lot of characters and things that you could only see on TV and movies before. The Enchanted Castle in Harry Potter and the Pineapple Hut in SpongeBob SquarePants. Back in the future, a car that can travel through time and space, a spaceship in Transformers...... Orlando may be small, but it's a small city with a lot of colorful worlds.

Passing by in front of these scenic spots, Yiyang was deeply attracted by the fantastic buildings. It would be nice if I could bring my mother and Vignari here to play. It's a pity that although professional players make a lot of money, at the price, they sacrifice most of their own time.

"By the way, isn't your girlfriend coming this year?" In the car, Nowitzki mentioned Vignari in a casual conversation.

"Hmm...... This year, there are games to be played in the Italian league. When Vignarie told him he wouldn't be able to play, Yiyang was a little disappointed, but he was a professional footballer himself and he knew what it took to be a professional. Giving up everything else for the sake of playing and training is the most basic quality of being a professional footballer.

"That's okay, now that the TV technology is so advanced, she can see your performances even from far away in Italy! By the way, Vince, why don't you design a few special celebrations for him after the dunk is over? That's the kind of celebration that has a special meaning! Nowitzki seems to have come up with a good idea." Since Yi's girlfriend and mother can't come, let Yiyang express his love for them through live TV. ”

After listening to Nowitzki, Yiyang's eyes suddenly lit up. Originally, he just came to the slam dunk contest with the mentality of completing the task, and he seemed to have some expectations for this game.

"That's an idea! Just like on the football field, some players will use some special celebrations after scoring a goal to express their thoughts about someone or something. On the basketball court, we can too! Carter clapped his palms and seemed to have found another plus.

yes, since they can't come with them to this event. So, use basketball to let them feel the fun of the Orlando All-Star Game!

"Vinnce." Yiyang, who was originally looking out the window, suddenly retracted his gaze and stared at the old flying man beside him.

"Huh?"

"Go back and put things away, and we'll go back and practice dunking."

Carter smiled, he knew that this kid was finally interested in the slam dunk contest!

"Tomorrow the Rookie Challenge starts, are you sure you don't have some energy left to deal with Irving?"

"Don't worry, I'll be able to handle him tomorrow."

Badinger, George and Derek. Williams, by the way, and Irving of Barkley's team tomorrow. The land is not good, this year's All-Star Game, these young people are likely to be reduced to a background board under the sun.

The NBA league's special car for the Mavericks players drove into Orlando's famous Grand Price Villa Hotel, and a bomb with incredible destructive power has been delivered to the heart of Orlando!
