Chapter 401: Big News

With a day off after the win over the Knicks, the Mavericks will play Boston and the Celtics one more game. In the past two days, the topic between Jeremy Lin and Yiyang is slowly cooling down, and the atmosphere of the All-Star Game has become more and more intense.

But the All-Star story doesn't seem to have anything special for Dallas fans. Yiyang and Nowitzki's selection was completely deserved, and the fans were not really excited. The only attraction of this All-Star Game for Mavericks fans may be Yiyang and Kelly at the Rookie Challenge. Owen's counterpoint.

Irving was the only man to score the killer goal on Yiyang's head this season, and it just so happens that he's also a young point guard. As for the discussion of who will be stronger in the future, Mavericks fans have long been accustomed to it.

For Mavericks fans, nothing interesting seems to have happened lately. And for the reporters on the Mavericks, it is even more difficult to dig up some explosive news these days.

Mougins stood helplessly at the door of the Mavericks' training gym, two security guards with their hands behind their backs in front of the gate, and they stared straight ahead, as if the reporters around them were air.

Like Mougins, there are many reporters waiting outside the training gym, and these reporters wait at every media open house to get first-hand information about the Mavericks directly from the training ground.

Just as the reporters were drowsy, the doors of the training hall were opened. Mavericks assistant coach Terry. Stotts waved to the reporters, and the two security guards finally got out of the way through the gates of the training hall. One by one, the reporters were like vicious dogs that had seen food, and they all pounced on it.

"Boom!" As soon as they stepped into the training hall, the reporters heard a loud bang. looked up and found that it was Yiyang who had just dunked and landed.

It's not uncommon to see players dunk on the training court, but Mougins still feels that something is wrong just now. In the half of Yiyang's dunk, there were only two people, himself and Carter. And after seeing the reporter come in, the two immediately stopped all their movements and walked to the sidelines with towels, as if they were afraid of revealing something.

A large group of reporters rushed towards Yiyang, but no one asked about the dunk just now.

Mougins spread out his hands, perhaps, he was thinking too much?

Today's media open day, as usual, was nothing out of the ordinary. The only thing that would be big news is probably Brandon. Heywood has announced that he will be back in the next game.

While Haywood is certainly important for the Mavericks, the player isn't a star in his own right. Therefore, the news of Haywood's comeback is indeed not exciting enough for reporters and fans.

I thought today's interview was coming to an end, but the reporters heard good news from the Mavericks' chief press officer.

"In 10 minutes, we're going to have a simple press conference in the media room, and we're looking forward to everyone's active participation."

After the press officer finished speaking, he went back to the media reception room to prepare. The reporters are in order one by one, is it possible that there is finally big news to happen?

"What's the situation!? Could it be that the Mavericks have a new player on board? ”

"It's not going to be Odom being traded, is it?"

"How is that possible? I saw him in the training hall just now! ”

"Could that be Dronti. What about West? He's also been very sought-after in the transfer market lately! ”

The reporters discussed it one by one, and Mougins felt that it was not very reliable after hearing it. The Mavericks are on a good record right now, and there's no reason to change the lineup. Although Odom continues to be in the slump, Cuban has signed Yi Jianlian to fill the vacancy, and Yi Jianlian is doing well.

As for Delonti. West, Mougins didn't believe that neurotic guy could be associated with the word "sought-after" in the transfer market. If West was cut directly, Mougins would feel more reliable.

Suddenly, the picture of Yiyang's dunk landing just now flashed from Mougin's mind! Maybe this press conference has something to do with the unusual scene just now?

With doubts, the reporters walked into the media reception room one by one with great anticipation. It's like a bunch of fans with popcorn in hand, ready to watch the big show in Cairo.

A few minutes later, Yiyang, Carter, Carlisle, and Mavericks owner Cuban walked in, and the reporters were all blindsided, and these people had nothing to do with the "big news" they had in mind.

Cuban sat on the edge and threw a smug smile at the reporters. What you will announce later, you must not be surprised!

Once everyone was seated, the reporters raised their cameras. Yiyang and Carter attended, and when Yiyang dunked just now, Carter was also standing beside him. Could it be possible!?

Mougins seems to have an answer in his mind suddenly, but this is simply impossible, and the participants in the slam dunk contest have all been determined.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for being here for this short press conference. There's nothing special about it today, I just want to officially announce on behalf of the league that I will also be participating in this year's Orlando All-Star Game slam dunk contest! ”

After Kuban finished speaking, the reporters were stunned. Did this guy get his head pinched when he went out this morning?

"Mr. Cuban, today is not April Fool's Day." Below, a reporter looked at the date on his phone very carefully.

"Of course not."

"Since today is not April Fool's Day, how can you participate in this year's slam dunk contest? The list of participants in the slam dunk contest has long been decided. Houston Rockets' Bardinger, Indiana Pacers' Paul. George, Timberwolves' Derrick. Williams and ......"

"And Shambaugh of the New York Knicks, I know sir, I know all of that you said." Before the reporter could finish speaking, Kuban interrupted him confidently.

So, please explain how you want to participate in the slam dunk contest. Didn't you say that he would make a cameo appearance to help others lift the ball or something? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a small burst of laughter from below. The reporters even wanted to leave, although there was no big news these days, Cuban didn't have to make such jokes to raise the heat of the Mavericks.

In the face of the ridicule of the reporters, Kuban and everyone on the stage did not particularly resist. Because they know that the final "winner" must be themselves!

"So what if, one of these four people was injured before the slam dunk contest?"

Cuban's rhetorical question made the laughter below disappear without a trace in an instant. The reporters all widened their eyes, and the next second, like clockwork puppets, they raised their cameras in unison and pressed the door button. Kuban's eyes flashed, and now, no one would think that his head was clipped.

"Is this true?"

"Who will you replace!?"

The reporters were immediately excited, and each one had a myriad of questions to ask.

He will also replace Shambaugh in the competition, which is the first time in NBA history that an Asian has stood on the stage of the slam dunk contest! When the time comes, it will definitely be able to bring you a lot of different things. ”

Cuban patted Yiyang on the shoulder as he spoke, looking at the expressions of the reporters as if they were going to eat Yiyang alive, Cuban handed over the right to speak.

"It's only a few days before the start of the All-Star Weekend slam dunk contest, how do you plan and show it in such a short amount of time?" Mougins raised his hand and asked the question he had on his mind.

Although the slam dunk contest is mainly about entertainment, the players still have to prepare carefully to show their best in front of the fans. Yiyang, as the first Asian to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, don't be eliminated in the first round with huge expectations.

Time was indeed very tight for Yiyang, but Yiyang just lightly pointed to the guy next to him, and the reporters instantly became more excited.

"Vince is in charge of helping me design the moves, so I'm sure I'll be ready for the next few days!"

Carter smiled and waved at the reporters, this "demigod" who once blew up the audience in the slam dunk contest is about to return to the stage of the slam dunk contest with his "replica version"!

No wonder when Yiyang dunked just now, there were only Carter and Yiyang in that half. It turns out that these two guys are really training alone!

After so many days of silence, Dallas finally has another big news! Originally, reporters were complaining that the lineup of this year's slam dunk contest was too mediocre, and there was no highlight at all.

But now, what the fans have been waiting for has become a reality! The originally gloomy slam dunk contest instantly became starry.

As soon as the news was released, Stern, who watched the news, smiled. In 2000, Carter, a "demigod", saved the declining slam dunk contest. I hope that this year, under the guidance of Carter, that Chinese can also save the dunk contest that is already on the verge of death!

Orlando 2012 is destined to leave a lasting impression on people!
