Moodier returned to the field and Li Dong returned to the flank. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It's still a good feeling to be in control of the ball, at least in a game like this where he doesn't care about winning or not, he can use his imagination freely, free and unfettered.

By the halfway point of the second half, the scores of both teams had broken through to triple digits.

"Lee, aren't you really going to compete for the MVP of this rookie game?"

Lyles's thighs shook and he chatted with Li Dong.

Li Dong chuckled and said indifferently: "Of course, I don't care about this honor at all, what if I win this rookie challenge MVP......

Lyleson exclaimed, "You've always been so goal-oriented, and it looks like you've reached a level I can't catch." ”

Li Dong patted Lyles on the shoulder and grinned.

Lyles sighed, "If you don't fight for this MVP, it's estimated that you will be taken away by Kristaps, this guy has already scored 20 points now, what an inside killer." ”

"Not necessarily!"

Li Dong smiled mysteriously, his eyes fixed on the technical statistics that were now showing above his head.

"Moodier was also very good today, he has eight assists so far, and if he has a few more assists, he may have broken the record."

Wiggins saw that it was.

"This guy is hiding so deeply, I haven't even noticed."

While the two were chatting, the American team suddenly took the lead on the field. Clarkson made a steal and went on a fast break with LaVine.

At the three-point line, the two looked at each other, and Clarkson suddenly hit the ground.

As if smashing the ball on the floor, the basketball hit the floor and flew high again, crossing a trajectory before appearing near the basket.

LaVine understood, strode to follow, turned one hundred and eight in the air, and completed the dunk with both hands behind the basket.

"Wow!" The audience exclaimed.

Wiggins, who was next to Li Dong, also opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and made a shocked expression cooperatively, which happened to be captured by the camera that was cut. Li Dong, on the other hand, is relatively calmer, no matter what, he will always have a humility that is the hallmark of an Oriental.

With ten minutes remaining, the U.S. led by five points, 136-131.

"Ha, this game is about to enter the best time!" Joe Thomas said to Xing Jinwen next to him that he was a professional scout before he became Li Dong's agent!

Xing Jinwen has also watched a lot of games and knows that this is the so-called critical moment.

"Why didn't Li Dong play, I rarely came to watch him play live, he didn't perform well." Girls' points are always so strange, if Li Dong knew that Xing Jinwen was in this kind of psychology now, maybe he would have retracted his idea of not competing for the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

A few minutes later, Li Dong was substituted for a last-minute match.

The strongest fighting spirit of the American team was LaVine, who scored a high 25 points, followed by Clarkson from the Lakers, and the black big man also scored 20 points, and his strength should not be underestimated. So the coach also knows how to put these two best on the court, supplemented by Curry, DeRozan and others.

With only the last minute left in the game, the U.S. team led the international team by three points 151-148, basically declaring the victory of the U.S. team.

Li Dong contributed 17 points in the last 22 minutes of the game, including 4 dunks, and Jokic's free catch was the most brilliant.

Amid streamers, flowers, and applause, sponsor Kano stepped up to the podium from behind the scenes, holding a note with the name of the MVP.

The players of the U.S. team all stood on the podium, and the makeshift podium was not small, and after standing such a bunch of strong men, two or three staff members and sponsor Kano could stand.

After the presenter's remarks, Kano walked over to the standing microphone, which he lowered slightly and cleared his throat.

"Ahem~"

"The MVP winner of the 2016 NBA All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge isβ€”"

"Zach LaVine!"

As soon as the words fell, the audience burst into cheers, and the 30+7+4 MVP was indeed deserved, and many female stars on the sidelines gave flying kisses, which made Lavin's face flushed slightly.

"I want to thank my teammates, I wouldn't have been able to win this award without their super scoring ability, thank you guys, thank you to everyone."

Wal talked eloquently, and when he talked about his teammates, the corner of his eye turned to Li Dong's side.

Li Dong didn't care at all, not even the frequency of applause did not change, Li Dong's expression did not change from beginning to end, not like a star who came to participate in the NBA All-Star Weekend game, but like a stranger who was ready to watch a football game. This made his originally high mood drop slightly, and he suddenly felt that this award was boring.

At the end of the awards competition, Moodier pulled Li Dong and Kelly Oubre and sent out invitations.

"Do you play 2K together at night? I invite you. ”

"No, no." Kelly Oubre refused.

Li Dong also shook his head, "No, I have other things to do." ”

"Hey, you're all busy." Moodier didn't force it, waved his hand and went to find someone else.

Li Dong said goodbye to his acquaintances one by one, and walked towards the players' tunnel.

As I walked, suddenly a reporter and a camera appeared on the side. Then there were two reporters, three reporters....... until the last group of reporters surrounded Li Dongtuan.

"How can there be such a media **." This was Li Dong's first reaction.

When he looked at it, he suddenly realized that the microphones handed over by these reporters were all media that he had often seen in China, and it turned out that this group of enthusiastic reporters was from a distant hometown.

"Li Dong, can you tell us how you felt about participating in All-Star Weekend for the first time?"

"Li Dong, are you confident that you will win the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest tomorrow?"

"Are you ready to be the first Asian flyer?"

……

Li Dong buzzed with a bunch of questions in his ears, the situation made him quite embarrassed, and even a little angry, but when the standard and longing Mandarin came out, it seemed to be injected into his heart all at once, and all the unhappiness disappeared, and he even felt a little kind.

"Would you like to go to the locker room for an interview?" The official staff came running and tried to stop the crowd.

Li Dong stopped the official staff, "It's okay, I'll interview here first." ”

His actions immediately won the gratitude of everyone, and the reporters slowly calmed down, and everyone gave Li Dong space to move, but the microphone still refused to retreat a little.

"Let's go to the side for an interview, everyone asks one by one." Li Dong pointed to the seat next to him, his height was too tall compared to ordinary people, and they raised their hands to the microphone, which looked particularly laborious.

So, everyone surrounded Li Dong and sat on the sidelines, and Li Dong sat down with a butt in his hand, holding a bunch of microphones in his hands.

On the other side of the court, Xing Jinwen and Joe Thomas watched in amazement as Li Dong was "drowned".

"Why did I start the interview, I'm still waiting for him to go with me." Xing Jinwen pouted, not happy.

"Let's go, let's go first, we'll have to take a shower or something later, he estimates it will be a while." Joe Thomas saw the stance, ready to slip away.

He seemed to see that Xing Jinwen was a little unhappy, and persuaded, "Xing, there is no way, this is the NBA." Every player here is at least a millionaire, the income of players here is the dream of ordinary people for several lifetimes, and it is also the place with the highest exposure and the easiest to become famous, and there are business opportunities everywhere. And Li Dong, as the hottest rookie, is the protagonist tonight, not to mention that he is still from China, and the NBA is currently the most important overseas market in the future. You know what that means......" he said, making a gesture to count the money.

Xing Jinwen shook his head helplessly, "Qiao, I'm fine." I understand all this, and I know him. His goals, his dreams, like you said, this is the NBA"

Joe Thomas smiled: "Let's go, let him interview, let's go first, you have his car keys." ”

"Oh, that's what he meant when he put the car keys on me, he expected all of this for a long time!" Xing Jinwen suddenly realized that he remembered the meaning of Li Dong stuffing the key into her hand before entering the aviation center......
