Chapter 656: ESPN Program
In fact, what Duffy didn't tell Tang Shuai now is that just after the results of this selection came out, his various communication tools have been blown up, and I don't know how many sponsors want to find Tang Shuai to endorse, this is the economic benefit of winning the MVP at the age of 22, which is much stronger than the seventy or eighty points in the game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the morning of this day, Tang Shuai drove his red flag and went to a stadium in Los Angeles with Duffy.
This is a private arena, because of the high rent, not many people usually come to play, and it is for this reason that the facilities here are kept as new.
And this is the place where ESPN filmed the show.
When he arrived at the show, Tang Shuai saw that in addition to Kobe and Dorne that Duffy had told him, there was also a person he didn't know, and he knew it.
"Hey, Don, you're here." Seeing Tang Shuai coming, Kobe took the initiative to come over and greet him.
Tang Shuai smiled and nodded.
Dorne saw him at this time, and beckoned her to follow him, and when he came closer, he said, "Don, you are the last to come. ”
"There is a traffic jam on the road, so ......," Tang Shuai explained.
"Well, let me introduce you, this is my good friend, Britney Grina." Dorn didn't ask too much, and then pointed to the other person beside him.
This person is what Tang Shuai saw, and he is also the fourth person in this show, "Female Warcraft" Britney Grina.
Completely different from Dorne's eye-catching appearance, Griner's first impression is strength, even though she is a long-haired woman, but she looks like a male athlete, exuding strength all over her body.
Tang Shuai is not a complete stranger to Grina either, she is the first to admit in front of the public that she is the same . A sexual WNBA superstar, and during the Olympics, he also proposed to go head-to-head with Cousins, although it didn't work out in the end, but the female and male personality is a real brand.
"Hello, Britney." Tang Shuai said politely.
"Hello, MVP, I'm looking forward to fighting you." Grina was not polite at all, and her first words were full of challenges.
Tang Shuai smiled, but there was no change in his expression.
After a brief meeting, they were soon approached by a member of staff who told them the basic rules of the game.
It's not so much a game, it's more like a performance, the four people are divided into 2 groups, one person shoots first, and the next person imitates, and successfully adjusts the order of shots to see who throws 5 goals first, which is the same as the rules when Tang Shuai looked for Battier to play.
said that it was a performance, because the program team was going to make men and women grouped, although Dorne and Griner are both superstars in the WNBA, but compared with male athletes, especially top players like Tang Shuai and Kobe, this is actually to please the audience.
Tang Shuai and Kobe Bryant looked at each other and smiled, obviously understanding.
But that's it, there were some small problems when grouping, originally the program team arranged a group of Dorne and Tang Shuai, a group of Grina and Kobe, but for some reason, Grina took the initiative to be a group with Tang Shuai, and her attitude was tough.
"Don, it seems that our Britney Spears prefers to fight you." Kobe Bryant said with a smile, his face a little embarrassed.
Although he has retired, his arrogance is still there, and Griner's character is also well known, direct, and likes confrontation, he took the initiative to choose Tang Shuai, which actually conveyed some kind of additional message: In her eyes, Tang Shuai is stronger than Kobe.
Tang Shuai also noticed the embarrassment on the scene, and Griner's directness was also out of his surprise, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and then said to the staff: "Can we modify the competition system, you see that we have four people today, it seems too boring to only play one game, we originally played 5 balls, replaced them with 3 balls, and then four people crossed the game, so that everyone has a chance to fight, and the game is also exciting, is it okay?" ”
The staff was stunned for a moment by Tang Shuai's proposal, and then turned their heads to look at the others, as if asking them what they meant.
"Yes, I'm fine." Dorn was the first to speak.
"I'm fine." Kobe glanced at Tang Shuai and said, obviously he was satisfied with Tang Shuai's approach.
Grina didn't speak, just nodded.
Seeing that everyone was okay, the staff nodded and said, "Then it's okay, but I have to go back and say something." ”
"Go ahead, time is pretty tight." Tang Shuai nodded and said.
"Don, I haven't had time to congratulate you on making it to the second round of the playoffs." As soon as the staff turned to leave, Kobe Bryant patted Tang Shuai on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you, I honestly didn't expect the game to be like this, Chauncey is a very good coach." Tang Shuai said.
"Haha, you're still so modest." Bryant burst out laughing.
"yes, Don, you're the youngest MVP in NBA history right now, and if you are more modest, no one else will be able to live." Dorne said with a smile.
"Elena, I'm going to blush if you do this." Tang Shuai said with a smile.
"Haha......"
Tang Shuai's words caused Kobe and Dorne to laugh heartily again, but Griner, I don't know if it was because of what happened just now, she didn't speak, and standing next to the three of them at this time, she was somewhat out of place.
Fortunately, soon, the staff returned, and after signaling that they were okay, a few people went to the locker room to change their clothes and were ready to start recording the show.
He was still talking and laughing with Kobe and Dorne before, but now he was really facing the photographers around him, and he was a little nervous.
It's not the same as playing in the NBA, it's full of competition, and he just needs to play his primitive instincts, but here, you have to juggle some other things, and if you really have a flying hat against elementary school students like Durant, that's a bit too much.
However, this can be regarded as an advance rehearsal for him, after promising Jordan to play the protagonist of "Space Slam Dunk 2", sooner or later he will have to face such a result, and it will be more staff and more cameras.
The grouping of the first round is the same as the original plan of the program group, Tang Shuai and Dorne are in a group, and Kobe Bryant and Griner are in a group.
Kobe Bryant and Griner started first.
Kobe Bryant made a lady-first gesture, and Griner's brow furrowed slightly, although she didn't say anything, but it was clear from her reaction that she didn't want it.
Tang Shuai shook his head helplessly on the side, this Grina completely regarded herself as a man.
Griner's first move was enough, and she came directly to a one-handed dunk in the free throw line, like a response to Kobe's desire.
Kobe Bryant showed a look of surprise after reading it, and said with a smile: "Britney, you can really go to the NBA." ”
Hearing Kobe Bryant say this, Grina's face finally softened a lot.
Although Kobe Bryant's personality has not changed much after retiring, some things are still lighter than originally seen, in the confrontation with Griner, he deliberately put some water, deliberately missed a goal after leading 2-0, and finally won the game 2-1.
After the duel, it was obvious that Griner's face was ugly, and she didn't accept Kobe's "concession" at all.
Next up were Tang Shuai and Dorn.
Compared with the previous group of people, the confrontation between Tang Shuai and Dorn is much more pleasant, firstly, the two of them already knew each other, and secondly, Dorn actually had a good impression of Tang Shuai, after Tang Shuai's "accidental" shot and lost a goal, Tang Shuai finally won the round 2-1.
After the first round, the second round was followed, Griner met Dorne, and Tang Shuai was about to face off against Kobe.
And just before the start of this showdown, Tang Shuai, who had never been aware of it, found a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at this time.
He, can he take the opportunity to pack?
Tang Shuai has always been salivating over Kobe's Peter Pan single package, after all, this is the only 2 skill packs with buff bonuses in the league.
And now, simply by imitating the moves, he can now easily beat Kobe, isn't this the same as picking up on the road?
With this in mind, he then went into the packing system to see if this bullfighting method met the requirements.
But when he got into the packaging system, he immediately realized that it didn't work, and the packaging system didn't approve of this packaging method.
After returning to reality, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
There was really no pie falling from the sky, and the packing system obviously didn't give him a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.
"What's wrong?" Kobe Bryant saw Tang Shuai smiling bitterly before the game and looked at him suspiciously.
Tang Shuai noticed that he was out of shape, then retracted his attention, and said: "It's nothing, I just thought that we used to play in the NBA, but now we can only meet in the show, and I feel a little emotional." ”
"Haha, don't be emotional, when you're my age, you'll have different ideas at that time." Bryant said with a smile.
Tang Shuai nodded, and then signaled that the game could start.
To imitate the shooting action, Tang Shuai does not have a corresponding high-level skill package, but it is very simple to imitate the action.
Kobe's first move reproduced his face in '09. The action when shooting Wade to kill the Heat, although there is no Wade in front of him, but the action is very familiar.
After Kobe Bryant made a shot, Tang Shuai couldn't help but reach out and applaud, although he was only a junior high school student at the beginning, this scene brought him a full visual impact.
When the applause was over, it was his turn.
Without much preparation, he took the ball and ran, from running to shooting, he imitated it almost perfectly, Novak three-packed, not restricting the shooting action, this action seems difficult, but it is very simple for him.
A look of surprise flashed in Kobe's eyes and he gave him a thumbs up. (To be continued.) )
