Chapter 353: Belated MVP (1/3)
Blonde hair, blue eyes, small mouth, high nose bridge, and erect nose look sexy, and when you laugh, you can get caught in it, and standing with fellow WNBA players, you feel like an angel.
Dorne's appearance also drew an even more excited cheer from the fans, and there is no doubt that she has a huge popularity in the United States.
Listening to the enthusiastic cheers around him, Tang Shuai became more and more curious about this player named Dorne.
He deliberately scanned it with the packaging system and found that Dorne actually had a purple mid-range bag, if it weren't for the NBA's non-allowment, it was estimated that it would not be a problem to come up and play a bench.
After the players were introduced, the starters of both sides stood on the field, and this entertainment-oriented celebrity game was started.
The Masters Game is an exhibition game, and many players are cross-border, and the intensity of the game is naturally not high, even Wu Yifan can continue to rush to the front court to score rebounds, but compared to others, Maddie is the strongest player on the court, and several iconic dry pulls attracted cheers from the fans at the scene.
However, in addition to Maddie, there is another person who has also attracted enough attention, Dorne of the American team, after several blocks, his beautiful jumpers are also repeatedly shot, and even congratulated a one-handed dunk in the fast break, which made the cheers of the audience explode instantly.
74-64, the Canadian team with Maddy finally defeated the United States team by 10 points, and Maddy performed the best, contributing 20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and successfully won the MVP of the Star Game.
In addition, Wu Yifan also contributed 9 points and 7 boards, and his performance was remarkable.
The top scorer on the U.S. side was Dorne. He finished with 16 points and Billups dished out a team-high five assists.
"Coach. You're really young. As soon as the game was over, Tang Shuai ran to the stadium to greet Billups.
"Haha. Old, old. Billups was happy, retired players are unlikely to be able to compete in the NBA anymore, and being able to play on such a high-profile day as the All-Star Game is already a blessing in itself.
"By the way, Tracy talked to me about you before the game, and it was interesting that you met in China." After laughing, Billups suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Haha, that's something to remember. I'll say hi to him later. Tang Shuai said with a smile.
There was an awards ceremony after the Masters, and when Maddie won the MVP, the fans cheered that Maddie failed to win the MVP trophy in the NBA, but got it after retiring, which was also a kind of compensation for him.
When the award ceremony was over, Tang Shuai walked over quickly, and congratulated him from afar: "Hey, Tracy." Congratulations! ”
"Don! Thank you, I heard that your kid is always using dry plucking in the game now, to be honest, did you steal from me? "Maddie seemed happy when she got the MVP. As soon as he saw Tang Shuai, he said jokingly, and stretched out his hand to make a hug gesture as he spoke.
"That's for sure, I'm a fan of yours." Tang Shuai smiled and hugged Maddie.
"You didn't say that when you were in China." Maddie laughed.
"Haha. Anyway, congratulations. You've been away from the NBA for too long, and you're going to come back more. Tang Shuai followed.
"It won't be long. I'm ready to switch careers as a commentator, and it won't be long before you see me on the sidelines. Maddie said with a smile.
"Narrator?" Tang Shuai looked at Maddie in surprise, he didn't expect to inadvertently get a revelation.
"Shh Maddie made a silent gesture and said with a smile, "It's not final, don't tell anyone." ”
Tang Shuai nodded and said, "If I can see you on the sidelines, I will fight harder." ”
"Haha, I'll be on the sidelines in a moment and watch your rookie performance." Maddie smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Well, I'll try." After Tang Shuai finished speaking, the arena was almost ready at this time, he chatted a few more words, and then walked directly to the bench.
The All-Star Rookie Game has a history of many years, and the format is constantly changing, and the most used mode is the confrontation between first-year and second-year students, but by 2013, this rule was broken, and the first-year and second-year students interspersed with teams, and it became a confrontation between the United States and the World Team.
In last year's game, the World Team, led by rookie Wiggins, defeated the United States team led by Oladipo and others 121-112, and Wiggins performed well, scoring 22 points and winning the final MVP.
This year's rookie has attracted more people's attention because of Downs and Tang Shuai, as well as the presence of Porzingis, especially Tang Shuai, because he has to participate in the next two days of competition, including the main competition, how he will perform in the rookie game, naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
On the world team's side, in addition to Tang Shuai and Porzingis, the selected core players also include Wiggins, the last MVP, Moodier, who played in the CBA before the draft, Capela of the Rockets, Mirotic of the Bulls, etc.
On the U.S. team, in addition to Downs, Okafor and Russell, who are in the same class as Don Shuai, second-year students Jordan Clarkson, Jabari Parker, Elfried Payton, Lens Noel, Elfried Payton, etc. are all strong opponents.
It's not so easy for the world team to win this game.
After the Masters MVP ceremony, the scene began to connect with acrobatic performances, and at the same time, the members of the World Team and Team USA began to gather on both sides of the field.
The head coach of the world team is the assistant coach of the Spurs, the first full-time female assistant coach of the NBA, Becky Harmon, after the players all gathered together, the female coach began to analyze the tactics with a serious expression, although it was in the All-Star game, but the coach of the Spurs department seemed very serious.
Tang Shuai listened carefully, and after listening to a paragraph, he knew that Harmon was an excellent coach, and his tactical understanding could even be compared to Billups.
On the other end of the court, U.S. head coach and assistant coach of the Cavaliers, Mike Langabati, was talking and laughing with the players.
In the same game, the attitudes of the coaches on both sides are completely different.
A few minutes before the start of the game, Tang Shuai used the packaging system to scan the skill packs of everyone present, and as he expected, except for Porzingis and Laven, who are the owners who have an exclusive skill pack, the others are at most purple skill packs.
Porzingis and LaVine are both dunk packs, and the nature of the performance is more than actual combat, as for Towns, although both offense and defense have purple skill packs, because they are on the inside, the impact on him is relatively limited, in other words, this is as he expected, it is a great opportunity to perform.
