153. Christmas is coming

As the first honor he has won that can go down in history in the future, Wu Dawei got the news on the plane to the next away game.

The Player of the Week accolade has been a daily necessity for the Cavaliers for the past seven years; But this season, after LeBron James left for Miami, it was the first time the Cavaliers have won the award.

David Wu is certainly excited, and while he has won a number of Player of the Match titles this season, it is clear that none of them can compare to the accolades of the Week.

The best of the game is only chosen between two teams, and at best no more than 30 people are running, 24 to be exact; And the best of the week is to compete with all the players in a large region of the league, more than 200 people!

Both the gold content and the emphasis on Cheng dΓΉ cannot be compared.

Moreover, Wu Dawei won the best of the week this time, which is the first time that a Chinese player has won the award after a year! The last Chinese player to win the league's best game was Yao Ming a year ago.

Of course, the arrival of this honor, not only Wu Dawei, but also other people in the Cavaliers are also very happy about it. Because this is not only a recognition of Wu Dawei's outstanding performance in the past week, but also an indirect recognition of the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance in the previous chapter.

After all, in order to win this honor, you must have a guarantee of performance. Every player who has won this accolade has had a great run of form in the previous week. There is no precedent in the history of the league for a player who has had an extremely poor team record last week.

The players of the Cavaliers simply celebrated Wu Dawei winning such an honor for the first time on the plane. They don't dare to make too much of a fuss, because the Cavaliers still have two more on the road after finishing their games against the Denver Nuggets and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

And these two away games are the Cavaliers' final job before Christmas. When they return to Cleveland from their road trip, they will have a four-day vacation.

The Cavaliers have been the protagonists of the Christmas game for the past seven years, but this season, they are not. Because for the past seven years, they have LeBron James, the league's number one favorite, and this season, they have lost him, naturally, a lot of things.

The departure of LeBron James has cost the Cleveland Cavaliers not only a decline in strength, but also a sudden fall from the championship favorite to the bottom, which is not a catastrophe for the Cavaliers. In the NBA league, every team, even giants like the Lakers and Celtics, has had times when they were extremely down. James' departure has a greater impact on the Cavaliers because of the team's sponsorship and attention, in short, money!

This is also the reason why when James suddenly announced that he was going to join Miami, Cavaliers owner Gilbert jumped to his feet in anger. You don't really think that Gilbert is so angry because his team lost a championship chance, he's a businessman, and he's not really a die-hard basketball fan.

James' departure, taking away a lot of sponsorship, may be the reason for Gilbert's anger. Businessmen, it is their nature to chase fame and fortune.

Fortunately, Gilbert's bad mood slowly turned cloudy and then sunny as the season began. Because of Wu Dawei's birth, coupled with his status as a Chinese player, Gilbert is not a fool. He only needs to look at the experience of Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, to know that Wu Dawei will be a money pot that is not inferior to LeBron James, and his market value may even surpass James! …,

A player with more than 1.3 billion people behind him, oh God! Gilbert's mind couldn't turn just thinking about it......

This alone is enough to make Gilbert not care about the team's participation in the Christmas game, although the annual Christmas game can bring the Cavaliers a lot of income, but in fact, for most of the veteran players who have played for many years, they prefer to spend time at home with their families than playing Christmas, a very important holiday for Westerners.

Moreover, most of the players in the Cavaliers team have participated in the Christmas war, and even the veteran ones such as Vallejo have a share every year, so their attitude towards the Christmas game is dispensable.

But there are still a minority of players in the league who have participated in the Christmas game, and most of the players who have not participated in the Christmas game, especially the young players, still feel very eager for this holiday game - who wouldn't want to play in front of thousands of fans and show their style?

It's a feeling that makes me feel so cold when I think about it! Wu Dawei is of course one of them, and he knows very well how much attention is paid to the Christmas game, which is definitely the game that Wu Dawei wants to play the most in addition to the playoffs for Wu Dawei, who wants to become a big star.

However, it is clear that this season's Cavaliers have nothing to do with the Christmas War. In several of the league's scheduled Christmas games, the Cavaliers watched from the sidelines. Therefore, now Wu Dawei still has to focus on the next game.

As long as they put a good record and get the Cavaliers back into the ranks of the powerhouses, then with this team's unconventional relationship with LeBron James, maybe next season, they can be the protagonists of the Christmas game again.

However, the Cavaliers, who have won two in a row, did not carry on the victory in the next two away games. After gnawing two tough bones, the Cavaliers came on a two-game losing streak against the Milwaukee Bucks and Detroit Pistons on the road......

It was an unexpected thing, but it was something that could not be changed as the Cavaliers ended their road trip on a losing streak and returned to Cleveland for Christmas.

As a traditional festival in the West, Christmas is basically the same status as the Chinese New Year, so most people choose to spend time with their families. But instead of returning to Los Angeles after the Cavaliers' road trip, Bonnie Lovelin returned to Cleveland with the Cavaliers.

Because Wu Dawei received an offer, after LeBron James left Miami, the city of Cleveland urgently needed a city spokesperson, and generally, the government will choose athletes to be spokespeople.

Because sports are positive and energetic. Choosing an athlete to be the face of the city will look more energetic. Therefore, Laughlin stayed to help Wu Dawei to fight for the position of spokesperson.

In fact, the Cleveland City government invited not only Wu Dawei, but also other athletes. Cleveland, like other major cities in the United States, has many sports clubs in the area, and naturally, these clubs will also have nationally famous athletes.

And these athletes are the objects of their invitation.

Becoming a city ambassador means not only getting a lot of money, but also increasing your reputation. After all, Cleveland is the fourth-largest city in the United States, and every year, countless people visit the city for tourism and vacation.

And for winning the contract of the city's spokesperson, Bonnie Lovelin is full of confidence. Because Wu Dawei's rise this season is so inspirational, in Lovelin's view, it is undoubtedly the best example for teenagers to learn; And his fame is gradually and rapidly rising, coupled with his nationality.

Laughlin felt that this contract was almost a matter of hand!

It was a feeling of confidence when Laughlin had discussed the details with representatives of the city. But the results did not come down so quickly, and the Cleveland City Government still needs to conduct some investigations, after all, it is the face of a city, and the process is naturally much more cumbersome.

After doing this, it was December 22nd, and Christmas was getting closer and closer. Lovelin, of course, still has to return to Los Angeles, after all, her family is still waiting for her return.

However, Laughlin did not return alone, and before leaving, she sent an invitation to Wu Dawei: "Handsome guy, everyone knows that you work hard. I also understand that you want to make yourself stronger, but you also have to give yourself the opportunity to relax at the right time. But no one is going to train in the gym on Christmas night! ”

PS: Thank you for the reward ~
