Chapter 160: Target Fultz

In today's information age, in the United States of America, where journalism and entertainment are highly developed, the slightest movement in any circle can spread almost all over the country and even the world.

Less than 12 hours after last night's McDonald's dinner, stories of Roy's feuds with American players spread all over the Internet.

There are many versions, and everyone says that Roy has a rough flip through his phone and sees a lot of strange words. It is said that Xiao Hua (NBA president) wants to praise Roy to develop the Chinese market, so he is given the privilege; It is said that Roy has a powerful Chinese consortium behind him, and he is flying and domineering; It is also said that Roy has a bad temper and fell out with Lonzo Bauer in the first place. To sum up, tonight's All-American McDonald's All-Star Game is sure to be very good.

With this in mind, the trendy media came to the United Center arena early to grab a seat, and it was only 17:30 in the evening, a full two hours before the start of the game.

Roy had also changed his equipment at this time, and he was the first to walk on the court wearing the Derrick Rose limited edition bracer given to him by Cheng Zixi.

Without a doubt, he was the first of the 24 players from both teams to come to the arena. Roy didn't want to be in the locker room with those guys who were doing things, so he preferred to warm up early.

When Roy's feet stepped on the arena floor, the astonished media crew was still installing the cameras and wiring lines. They were undoubtedly amazed by Roy's diligence, who was the last player to warm up in the arena two hours early? Is it Kobe Bryant? It seems that he won't start warming up so early, not to mention that today is still an inconsequential exhibition match.

But Roy just appeared, and the photographers and videographers who were still busy quickly stopped what they were doing and gathered towards Roy.

As usual, Roy's warm-up was dominated by shooting, with continuous shots around the three-point line like a machine gun. After a round of throwing, Roy felt that his hand was coming up, he couldn't get enough, and specially asked a photographer to pass the ball for him, just like that, surrounded by a bunch of long guns and short guns, Roy preemptively saved up a wave of popularity.

As night fell, more and more players and spectators showed up at the arena.

Roy's "strike first" behavior naturally couldn't escape the eyes of other players, which successfully pulled another wave of hatred for him.

As everyone expected, none of the players came to greet Roy, and no one even wanted to pick up the basketball that Roy throws, and it seems that this is destined to be a special 1-on-23 All-Star game.

The lonely Roy completed the lonely warm-up, and enjoyed the treatment of a lonely hero in the song "The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls".

After the national anthem, the players from both sides went to their respective benches, with Jack Doss of J.O. Johnson High School in Huntsville, Alabama, and Dale Mabray of Happy Ridge Park High School in Louisville, Kentucky.

Both head coaches are traditional American high school coaches, old-school, stubborn, and serious, who may look like poor Steve Buck, but are actually two very different people.

Let's just say that Dale Marbray of the Western team, with his gray hair, is a standard "devil coach", he is not only strict with his players, but also has an unusually paranoid coaching philosophy.

When announcing the starters, he looked at Roy's name and thought for a long time.

Before this All-Star Game, he only learned about Roy as the number one person through the Internet, and he was also shocked when he saw Roy's information.

He averaged 44.9 points, 15.5 rebounds, 11.3 assists, 6.2 interceptions and 7.0 blocks per game while shooting 59.6 percent from the field, 50.6 percent from three-point range and 85.3 percent from the free throw line.

It's not like a high school player's stats, it's like an NBA star playing in the Philippine league.

Who is Roy? What is he capable of? Mabray has since done a special investigation, and the results have shocked him even more, before Roy came to the United States, his basketball resume was almost blank, he had not trained in any professional team, and he had not played for any level of Chinese junior team or youth team.

In other words, Roy is a complete amateur.

An amateur player from China, after coming to the United States, has transformed into a superstar who can get an average of triple-doubles per game, this person is the slightly handsome white-faced teenager in front of him?

Mabrai couldn't believe his eyes.

But the list is not wrong, and the data is not wrong.

Confirmed, the person in front of him is Roy, he is the legendary No. 1 high school student in the United States, Roy.

A minute before the start of the game, Marbray announced the starting lineup of the Western Stars team like a motion, they are: point guard Frank Jackson, shooting guard Roy, small forward Malik Monk, power forward Josh Jackson, center Jarrett Allen, looking at this average altitude, it is completely a small ball lineup.

Dale Marbray's pregame remarks were very concise, "I know you're all All-Stars and bosses on your respective teams, but today we have 12 All-Stars and 12 bosses on our team. Everybody wants to play, they all want to perform, and I understand that. So, I'm just asking you to play well and enjoy the game when you get on the pitch, and for the sake of fairness, everybody won't play more than 20 minutes, okay, boys. ”

Mabray let out a loud shout, and the Western Stars started with five tigers, and five players from the East were also on the field: point guard Markelle Fultz, shooting guard Terence Ferguson, small forward Jayson Tatum, power forward Tony Bradley, and center Bam Adebayo.

Compared with the lineup of the western team, the eastern star team not only has a more reasonable lineup, but also has a more average ability, and a vicious battle is inevitable.

Roy's "role type" today is "all-around shooting guard", targeting his two strongest ability plates, "outside attack ability" (75) and "physical ability" (74), which is the one type of role he has the most benefit, and the position he played today is indeed that of a shooting guard.

After taking the court, he was surprised to find that the number of his fans today simply multiplied, compared to the opening cold reception at the three-point contest and slam dunk contest the day before yesterday, today's stands are full of fan boards supporting Roy, and he even heard the uniform Chinese chanting the word "Roy".

The Chinese are really powerful, and in just two days, a group of Roy's fans successfully got tickets.

With the help of his native language, Roy is more relaxed, at least he won't be alone in today's game.

Roy won't be alone, even the system came to join in the fun.

Instant Tasks:

Ace Duel: Crush the opponent's ace Markelle Fultz, score 10 points higher than him or force him to make 5 mistakes, Difficulty: ★★★★ , Reward for success in Mission: Obtain the item "Hidden Attribute Viewer", Penalty for failure in Mission: Reduce "Charisma" by 4 points.

Interesting, the system means that I want to take the initiative to attack Markelle Fultz? For this American genius who is praised by the outside world as a prodigy and is as famous as Lonzo Ball, Roy really wants to compete with him. Now that he has this system task, he has even more reason to touch this "rich son" who is not very friendly to him.

Before there was time to think about it, the whistle blew and the game began......
