Chapter 186: Rookie Tournament MVP
In the last six seconds of the race, Ben. Gordon received Devon. Harris's pass, for Ben. Gordon's continuous feints, Sun Yue was not moved, and as a result. Gordon's unsurprisingly missed a three-point jumper under the interference of Sun Yue's long arm, and his big heart had already been pierced by Sun Yue.
After the rookie team served, the sophomore team stopped fouling and let them consume the last two seconds.
"Drop!!" The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
The rookies won, breaking the three-year iron rule that only sophomores can win.
The poor Class of 2004 lost last year to the team played by "Little Emperor" LeBron. The super platinum generation led by James lost to the point guard team led by Sun Yue this year.
"Alright, audience friends. The Houston 2006 All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge is over, and I know you're just as much as I am, but... At least next year we'll be able to see another perfect performance by the big three. When they're on the same court, I swear it's the best rookie game I've ever seen! β
"I'm starting to worry about how exciting the All-Star Game is on Sunday night, it's going to be too hard for them to surpass the game in terms of spectacle, but luckily we can see the skipper in the main game as well."
When Drexler made his final closing remarks for the game, TNT TV sideline reporter and Sun Yue's old lover Christine. Ledlow found Sun Yue, and there is no doubt that the MVP of tonight's game will be Sun Yue.
Sun Yue's 23 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block are not only the most dazzling stats tonight, but everyone can't ignore his performance in the final moments...... He stabbed the sophomore with his key defense and an unsolvable 3+1.
"Skipper, everyone's talking about your collaboration with Chris and Delon right now. You took a 14-point lead in less than six minutes and held the lead until the end, did you practice your tactics before the game? Ledlow was naturally "excited" to see Sun Yue, but this did not affect her professional questioning Sun Yue.
"Nope." Sun Yue said honestly: "I just went to the community with Chris to help plant some trees, and this is the only time we cooperated before today's game. We're all very busy, the NBA has a lot of work for us, and the sponsors have a lot of activities. β
'It's only when we're playing that we're relaxed. This ease directed our performance, and everything happened naturally. β
Sun Yue's honest and frank answer has a different kind of humor. Ledlow smiled knowingly, and then asked, "In the last moments, you shuttled half the court under heavy surrounding, leaving the opponent's fouls uncontrollable, and the commentator Mr. Drexler called you a smart and ethereal elf." What do you think of this nickname? β
"Hmm." Sun Yue nodded: "Very good nickname, thank you for the gift of Mr. Glider for me." β
"In the end, you hit the game-winning three-pointer, do you think that magic shot was luck?"
"I think luck is part of strength."
"At the end of the game, you sit down on the technical table against Ben. Gordon said something, can I know what you said? β
"I can't." Sun Yue shook his head: "That's part of the game. Now the game is over. β
Sun Yue is clear, he doesn't like to provoke a war of words. One yard to one yard, and the things in the arena are left in the arena.
At the end of the visit, Sun Yue returned to the bench under the resentful gaze of Ledlow.
After a while, NBA commissioner David . Stern walked to the center of the field with a professional smile on his face, and then praised the rookie in his characteristic voice, nothing more than those spatty words like you are all the future of the league.
He then announced the highlight of the game...... The MVP of the rookie match.
"The player who won the MVP of the 2006 NBA Rookie Game was the point guard from the Atlanta Hawks - Sun Yue!!"
There was a rare round of applause and cheers at the Toyota Center, and Sun Yue conquered the hearts of discerning Houston fans with a game.
Amid the cheers and applause of Houston fans, Son lifted the MVP trophy in high ground and then accepted the interview.
The interview was very boring, and basically Sun Yue coped with all the questions with airtight and high-sounding answers.
Sun Yue actually didn't have anything to say, so he recited David according to the book. The interview booklet that Falck prepared for him contains formulas for various occasions and how to deal with embarrassment.
All agencies will order something like that for their own stars, whether it's a sports star, a movie star, or a singer like Taylor Swift.
These public figures are often exposed to the camera, no one is perfect, and once their bad side is discovered, these contingency plans are needed to reduce the impact.
Sun Yue belongs to the type of person who responds quickly to the media, so there is not much content in his booklet, and most of the time he can handle it himself. But some of the more troublesome stars, such as Lindsay Lohan, a typical troublesome girl, are almost catching up with a book of manuals prepared for her by the company, but they still can't cope with a lot of trouble she makes.
But in the end, the reporter asked a question that Sun Yue couldn't shirk.
"Skipperer, Tony. Parker brought his Hollywood fiancΓ©e, Eva, to All-Star Weekend. What about your girlfriend? Will she come? β
As soon as this question was raised, Sun Yue couldn't help but look a little flustered.
He clearly saw TNT's well-known beauty reporter Kristen. Ledlow's eyes were shining at him, and he even felt that this question was specially arranged for Ledlow to be asked.
"This question involves my personal privacy, and I don't want to answer it, and I hope you can leave me a little personal space." Sun Yue could only avoid talking about this issue.
Then, he ended his embarrassing roundtable-style visit.
After the visit was completed, David. Falck walked over and led Sun Yue to the next room, and Falke accompanied Sun Yue to various business events during the All-Star Weekend. Sun Yue still has a lot of work to do, and from Thursday to Sunday, there is almost no time to rest, and he has to work tirelessly like a robot on the strip.
"We had a good game tonight. All the sponsors sent me congratulatory texts, they want you to snatch the MVP trophy from those All-Star players the day after tomorrow, everyone is expecting you to fly higher"
When Falke said this, Sun Yue had already reclined in his chair and fell asleep.
For this player with the most commercial potential under his own, Falke is also very helpless, Sun Yue has his own ideas, and does not listen to his own words like those simple-minded NBA players.
At the same time, Sun Yue's business vision also made Falke very admired, Sun Yue's investment in FACEBook has come back to life, the market value and stock price have risen all the way, Sun Yue's investment of 50 million US dollars has now increased fivefold.
So for Sun Yue, Falke could only coax him.
