"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Tang Shuai hurriedly withdrew his hand and apologized, he was unconscious, and he was accidentally treated as a hooligan.

"Elena, it's you." Paul said with a sudden smile.

Tang Shuai also looked up when he heard Paul's words, and then saw that the woman in front of him knew herself, it was Elena Donne, who played in the Masters last year and was amazed.

Dorne's face was slightly red, obviously being "invaded" by Tang Shuai so suddenly, she also seemed very caught off guard.

"CP3, long time no see." When Dorne came to his senses, he greeted Paul with a smile.

"Let me introduce you, this is my teammate Devon, this is Don, I believe you should know."

"Hey, Devon, hey, Don......" Dorn greeted Booker and Don Shuai.

"Hey, I'm Don, just ...... I'm sorry, I ...... unintentionally," Tang Shuai said with a slightly red face.

"It's okay, I've known you for a long time, but it looks like you're a lot shyer than I thought." Dorne said with a smile, she had come to her senses, and compared to Tang Shuai, her American personality seemed to be much more open.

Tang Shuai smiled wryly.

"Elena, we're getting ready to go to dinner, do you want to go together?" Paul followed.

"Of course, but I'm going to call Candace, I'm here with her today." Dorne nodded.

Candace in Dorn's name is Candace Parker, a WNBA star who played today as a member of the Western Conference.

"Then we'll wait for you at the door for a while." Paul said with a smile.

Dorne nodded, and walked briskly inside.

When Dorne left, Paul remembered that he didn't seem to have asked Tang Shuai's opinion, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Don, look at me, when I see an old friend, I forgot to ask your opinion." ”

"It's okay, CP3, a few more people will be lively." Tang Shuai opened his mouth and said that he still had a good impression of Dorne.

Paul didn't mind anymore when he saw that Tang Shuai didn't mind, so he didn't say anything more, and then talked about his acquaintance with Dorne.

After chatting for a while, Dorne came out with Parker, Parker is a typical black player, and his appearance is not comparable to Dorne, but when he came out, he hugged Paul and shook hands with Tang Shuai and Booker, and he seems to be the kind of person with a bold personality.

A few people left the stadium, and then went to a nearby restaurant to eat, with Paul there, a few people eating, drinking and chatting quite happily.

Tang Shuai can be regarded as officially acquainted with Dorne and Parker, different from ordinary women, because they both play basketball, they will not talk about embarrassment, and they will soon become like old acquaintances.

After eating, Tang Shuai and Dorne parted ways, and before parting, Parker took the initiative to add Tang Shuai's number, and by the way, pulled Dorne to add it together.

After parting, they went back to the hotel.

On the 13th, Tang Shuai watched the whole game and was a spectator for a day, but on the 14th, he had to participate in 3 consecutive competitions, which was a big test of physical strength, so he took a shower after going back, talked to Su Mei on the phone, reported his itinerary, and then fell asleep.

Going to bed early and getting up early, he felt that his whole mental state was quite full.

After he washed up, he took his mobile phone and prepared to take the car to the stadium, but he didn't expect to see a big news as soon as he took out his mobile phone.

"Elena Dorn and Tang Shuai are dating after the game, and the popular male and female basketball players will become a sweet couple?"

The headline of the report is quite exciting, and a picture is pasted, just the two of them walking out of the hotel, exchanging phone numbers, behaving intimately, this person taking pictures is very professional, he didn't take a picture of Paul and Booker in front, and even Parker, who was standing next to him, was psped.

Seeing this news, Tang Shuai suddenly felt his head grow for a while, but fortunately, after he went back last night, he reported the trip to Su Mei, and also mentioned Dorne and Parker, so there should be no problem.

He ignored it and went to the arena.

Curry, Westbrook and others arrived at the arena early, and even the Kobes sat there early.

After Tang Shuai passed, he greeted them.

"Don, it's up to you to perform today, remember what you said yesterday." Kobe Bryant finally said to Tang Shuai.

Tang Shuai nodded, and then went down to the venue to warm up.

On the 14th, there will be a total of 3 games, namely the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Shooting Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest, and the first is the Skills Challenge.

Not long after Tang Shuai warmed up, a staff member came over to tell him that he was ready to play.

He was then led into the tunnel with the others, and there was a ceremony before the game to introduce the players.

The Skills Challenge was reformed last year and divided into big and small categories.

In the small man group, Danny Schroder from the Hawks, Emmanuel Moodier from the Nuggets and Thomas from the Celtics are all well-rounded guards, with Thomas being the second time and the champion of the small group last year.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the contestants of tonight's Skills Challenge, the first big man to appear, the first, Al Horford!"

To the shouts of the live DJ, Horford was the first to come out of the tunnel on the other side.

The Skills Challenge is not as spectacular as the Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Shooting Contest, and many of the people who participate in this event are like Tang Shuai, and Horford is one of them.

After Horford, Moodier was also introduced, and in order to avoid aesthetic fatigue, the players in the large and small subgroups played in turn.

In the big man group, in addition to Horford, the other three are Anthony Davis, Green and Downs.

The last big man to be introduced to the game was Davis, his appearance immediately caused a crazy cheer from the fans, as the absolute core of the Pelicans, this home game, he enjoyed the absolute highest popularity.

The finale on the little man's side was Tang Shuai, and when the DJ shouted his name, the audience at the scene let out a frantic shout again, and it seemed that it was not much less than Davis.

From the audience's reaction, it can be seen that Tang Shuai's popularity has reached a new peak in the league, at least in the west, and it is a qualitative leap compared with last year.

The first one started was the matchup between Green and Downs, and the two met in the first round last year, and this time they met again, and I don't know if it was intentional by the organizers.

Although the big man group was introduced in the Skills Challenge, the basic game remained the same, with players dribbling over obstacles, then passing the ball into the designated box, and finally shooting a three-pointer after the dribble foldback, and the player with the faster time wins.

The referee's whistle blew on the sidelines, Downs and Green followed the dribble and ran forward, and in the first dribble session, Green was obviously faster, and the passing link was also in place, in fact, he did this in the Warriors.

He reached the three-point line first and grabbed a three-pointer.

However, it may be too anxious, the first three-point shot was a little stronger, and the uproar of the fans at the scene jumped out of the basket.

That's when Downs arrived.

The two men picked up three-pointers almost at the same time.

"Bang! Bang! ”

There were two sounds in a row, and the three-point shots of the two people all popped out of the frame.

Those stars on the sidelines looked at it and couldn't help laughing, the best thing for the big man group is estimated to be this three-point shot, and I don't know how many irons to hit in a row.

Green often shoots three-pointers with the Warriors and shoots well, but that doesn't mean he can shoot in the Challenger.

"Huh!"

Finally, on the third shot, Downs took the lead in shooting a three-pointer, and after the shot, he waved his fist excitedly, and it was obvious that he was also a little excited.

Green smiled wryly, although it was a performance game, he lost to the same opponent twice in a row, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

The two of them hugged for a while, and then walked to the sidelines.

Then came the small group, with Tang Shuai and Moodier taking the lead.

As soon as Tang Shuai appeared on the stage, it immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the fans.

After getting on the field, Tang Shuai picked up the ball and turned his head to look at Moodier.

Moodier played in the CBA Guangdong team for a year, and the suit he wore during the draft even had a Chinese flag embroidered on the inside, so Tang Shuai still had a good impression of him.

And this is the first round, and he doesn't want to be too eye-catching, so when he picks up the ball, he has already decided to deliberately retain his strength.

"Toot!"

The whistle sounded on the sidelines, Tang Shuai and Moodier took the ball and rushed forward directly.

Moodier, as the former champion favorite, his dribbling and passing are his strengths, and this time he rushed out, and even led Tang Shuai by half a position.

Tang Shuai did not sprint at full speed, but maintained this position.

Passing Moodier and Tang Shuai were both in place at one time, and when they dribbled back to the starting point to shoot three points, Moodier grabbed the opportunity to shoot first.

Tang Shuai, who arrived later, was a little slower, but he shot unhurriedly.

"Bang!"

Moodier's three-point shot jumped out of the basket, and he fell from the top pick to the seventh pick, mainly because of the inconsistent shooting, even in the CBA, and it became more obvious after the Nuggets.

"Huh!"

Tang Shuai's three-point shot came first and landed accurately.

His three-point shooting percentage ranks first in the league, and if he can't hit a shot, it's not a matter of retaining his strength, but pretending.

Moodier smiled wryly, walked over and hugged Tang Shuai, and then the two walked to the sidelines together, and there was still talking and laughing when they got off the field, obviously the bond with China made them have no shortage of common topics.

Next came Davis and Horford, Davis appeared, and the scene suddenly burst into cheers.

Davis also lived up to expectations, leading Horford all the way, and scored on his second three-point shot to advance to the finals of the big man group.

Tang Shuai didn't react, the organizers didn't arrange Green or Towns to be Davis's opponents, obviously there was consideration, and he set his sights on the next two small players, and his opponent in the small group final will be one of the two of them.

The game started quickly, and Thomas took the lead, and the dribbling link directly overtook Schroeder by one position.

Tang Shuai is also eye-catching, although he is short, Thomas's speed is really top-notch, and it may be not much different from him. (To be continued.) )
