At the end of the morning, everyone returned to the United Center arena, where the players were to be interviewed by the media in the afternoon.

In this session, media reporters can conduct one-on-one interviews and materials with players at will, which is very open.

Before that, Roy, Markelle Fultz, Jayson Tatum and Bam Adebayo will represent the players at a press conference with full media participation.

Compared with the "grass stage" press conference that I participated in in the California Championship before, the press conference hall of the United Center is much more magnificent, with more than 100 reporters sitting in the audience, and countless cameras are focused, which is really a bit of an NBA All-Star Game immediate.

In the first part of the press conference, the press officer of the organizer of the All-Star Game will report the results of the individual games the day before yesterday and the basic information of the coaches, players and referees of the All-Star Game tomorrow.

Then, the player's representative, Jayson Tatum, made a brief speech to express his anticipation and joy for this All-Star Game.

After going through the first two boring sessions, the third part was the reporter's favorite free question time, and the questions were thrown to the four players at once.

For example, the preparation for tomorrow's game, such as the outlook for the future NCAA, such as the assessment of his own strength, etc., nearly half of the questions were thrown to Roy.

Maybe it's because of his amazing performance yesterday, maybe it's because he's the only player to announce an NBA draft, or maybe it's because of his unique background.

By the last 10 minutes of the press conference, almost all the questions pointed to Roy, such as the prospects for the draft, what it was like to be a Chinese player, the competition with American players, and so on.

The reporters circled around Roy, and the other three became more and more bored, and if the press officer hadn't ended the press conference in time, the black-faced background of Fultz, Tatum and Adebayo didn't know how long it would have been on the press conference.

Roy once again stole the limelight from the three state MVPs, and the arrogant "rich son" couldn't help it, and in the following media interview session, Markelle Fultz bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with Roy's advantage because of Chinese players, and he even questioned why a foreign exchange student could participate in the high school league of American students.

Bam Adebayo is also quite slight, the big black tower has a straightforward personality, his words are not as tactful as the "rich son", when asked about his impression of Roy, he replied that Roy is an overrated player, and he is confident that he will give him some color in tomorrow's game.

Roy was still the most popular player during the free interview, and he was also asked about his impressions of Fultz and Tatum, and his response was that he didn't know much, and this ambiguous answer was immediately seized by the media and became a big excuse for Roy's contempt for the American star.

The media hype is flying fast, and the estrangement between American players and Roy is growing.

The feud between the American players and Roy was magnified to the extreme at the McDonald's dinner that night, which was actually a celebratory reception, attended by former NBA and NCAA celebrities, as well as representatives of the organizers, media and sponsors.

But in full view, the American players, led by Fultz, took a cold shoulder towards Roy.

Although Daron Fox had sent a message to Roy in advance, he still didn't expect that this group of American high school students would really work together to do something so embarrassing to him.

Throughout the party, the other players were almost all chatting and laughing with each other, smiling and taking photos in front of reporters, players who were about to become teammates in college, players from the same state, and even friends who had just met for a while.

On Roy's side, except for Daron Fox, who does his own thing, and Roy's newly acquired little brother Udoka Azubuke also had a brief exchange with him, and the others saw that Roy basically changed his face in seconds and turned a blind eye.

Roy has no friends, and Daron Fox and Udoka Azubuke are under pressure to keep their distance from him. Josh Jackson from the same state is his nemesis, not to mention the other guys who have only known each other for two days, and they all have a negative opinion of Roy right now.

Of course, these shots can't escape the eyes of those keen media people, and the camera flickered, recording Roy's embarrassed face and lonely figure.

All the contradictions finally erupted at the final awards ceremony, when the organizers presented Roy with the Morgan Wooden High School Player of the Year trophy, and none of the other players applauded him, this time even Daron Fox and Udoka Azubuuk.

This should have been the most enthusiastic scene of the whole event, but now it has become extremely embarrassing.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, and Roy hurriedly gave an acceptance speech and went straight back to the hotel......

Roy returned to the hotel with a straight face and lay down on the bed without saying a word.

Su Dong immediately had insight into Roy's abnormality, and when he inquired, he knew that this kind of thing had happened.

Su Dong understood that Roy, who was too showy, was ostracized by the local players in the United States.

"What are you going to do?" Su Dong looked at Roy with an angry face, but Roy did not respond.

Su Dong knew how angry, manic, and impulsive Roy's heart was now, he patted Roy on the shoulder, and said thoughtfully: "Roy, I know your feelings very well, because when I was young, I also had such an experience as you. ”

Su Dong paused, Roy's eyes were still staring at the floor, and he had to continue, "When I was young, probably at your age, I was selected for the youth team of the Guangdong South China Tigers. At that time, I was the most talented young player in the team, and I was very popular with the media and fans, and the coach made an exception to transfer me to the senior team early in order to train me. When I got to the senior team, I was still doing really well, and I thought that I was going to be on fire and that I was going to be a superstar right away. So, I started to be more expressive, I didn't want to show off my skills and show my popularity all the time, and as a result, my arrogance annoyed the old players in the team, and they began to exclude me and bully me en masse. I was only a teenager at the time, and of course I couldn't stand it, and in a fit of rage, I exposed everything I had to do with the media, thinking that the media and the fans would be upset about me. But unexpectedly, more media and fans just wanted to see our jokes, and they not only didn't speak up for me, but also added fuel to the fire. Not surprisingly, I was relegated to the youth team by the coach, and then I was not even eligible to play, and no team was willing to take me as a 'big mouth' player, and my career was over......"

"I know what you're trying to say." Roy, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, his eyes were already full of fighting spirit again, "Don't worry, I won't be angry, if I'm like Lonzo Ball's fool, then what else will I play in the NBA." ”

"That's right, Roy, remember that sentence?"

"On the basketball court, speak with strength."
