Chapter 204: Wang Cannon's All-Star Project
All-Star Weekend, has always been the time when most players relax and rest, for the vast majority of players in the league, it is an incredible thing to be selected as an All-Star, and even if they are selected as All-Stars, many people just run to play a round of soy sauce, and then they have nothing to do.
But for those All-Stars who have been selected, All-Star Weekend is not a place where you say you can relax.
The four-day All-Star was a tense and complicated arrangement from day one.
Not to mention anything else, in order to prove that the NBA players are close to the people, Stern arranges for the players to go to orphanages and other similar places in local cities for public welfare activities during each All-Star Weekend.
The public welfare activities in the United States are different from the Great Celestial Empire, these sub-stars have to do real work, whether it is cooking, cleaning or painting the house, it is a very boring thing for Wang Dacang.
The orphanage in Orlando is not as good as in Los Angeles, with a beautiful woman like Cheng Qian in charge, it is too boring for Wang Cannon, who hates bear children the most.
The only thing that deserves to make him a little happier is that among the teams that came, Wang Cannon finally met Jeremy Lin, who had rolled up a forest storm in recent days.
To be honest, when he saw Jeremy Lin, Wang Cannon was still a little excited, after all, unlike his own hanging, people have completely relied on their own strength to get to this point.
However, Wang Cannon, who was very happy, was not so happy after he went up and said the first sentence.
"Hello Jeremy Lin! See you at last! ”
Wang Cannon called Jeremy Lin. The latter immediately shouted in surprise, "King Cannon!" Hello! ”
Hearing Jeremy Lin's words, the smile on Wang Cannon's face froze halfway. Because he just spoke Chinese with Jeremy Lin, and Jeremy Lin answered him in very standard English.
"Eh" looked at Jeremy Lin, Wang Cannon suddenly realized that he seemed to be a Chinese-American, the same as Zhao Ling, but they also seemed to have some differences, "You don't know Chinese?" ”
“??? why? ”
Jeremy Lin asked why he asked. Wang Cannon suddenly became tasteless.
In a foreign country, I finally met a fellow villager, and I wanted to communicate in my hometown. But I didn't expect that when I met, I still spoke English, so that as long as I close my eyes, who knows that it is a compatriot of the same skin color standing in front of me?
Wang Dacang had always thought that Jeremy Lin would be the same as Zhao Ling. He speaks Chinese very fluently. Unexpectedly, Wang Dacang was extremely depressed when he made two sentences of English.
"I'm mean, you don't know Chinese?" Wang Dacang had no choice but to ask in English.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I grew up in the United States, and I really can't speak the text." Jeremy Lin said politely.
"It's okay, it's okay, what do you need to apologize for this kind of thing?" Wang Dacang hurriedly waved his hand, Jeremy Lin was different from most of the NBA players he came into contact with, and he looked polite. It's a bit like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.
Where does Wang Cannon know, in the eyes of many people. Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian's kind of modest, low-key and calm talent is like a person from the Great Celestial Dynasty, a big country in the East, Wang Dacang, a guy who is very arrogant, never speaks through his brain, and is in a hurry to do things, is like a freak at all.
It's just that after knowing that Jeremy Lin can't speak Chinese, Wang Cannon's interest in Jeremy Lin is instantly much lower, after all, without language bonds, Wang Cannon doesn't have that special sense of intimacy with Jeremy Lin.
Wang Cannon, who didn't have the desire to talk to Jeremy Lin more, once again felt the boredom of the All-Star Weekend charity event.
"Hey! It's really boring" Weakly brushing back and forth on the wall with a brush, Wang Cannon sighed helplessly, "I thought I would be able to have a good time and relax during the All-Star Weekend, but I didn't expect it to be such a result, it's really"
"Don't be in a hurry to sigh and sigh, the next few days, but you will suffer." Griffin patted Wang Cannon's shoulder and said sympathetically.
Hearing Griffin say this, Wang Cannon was immediately stunned, "What? What will happen in the next few days? Is there still such a comic activity? ”
Griffin shook his head, bent down and dipped his paint, and said, "Not really, the point is that you have a bit too many projects this time." ”
"Too many projects?" When Wang Cannon heard this, he faintly felt that something was wrong, "Wait, what did I report?" ”
"Have you forgotten?" Now it was Griffin's turn to be surprised, "Some time ago, about the registration for the All-Star Weekend project, Bledsoe's guys were a little agitated, and you reported a three-point contest and a slam dunk contest."
"Is there such a thing?" Wang Cannon tilted his head, thought about it carefully, and then .
"What is this?" One day, when Wang was training as usual, he found several players from the Clippers gathered around and didn't know what they were muttering, so he approached curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just an entry form for the All-Star Weekend event." Griffin didn't hang out with the guys, but sat alone and played on his phone.
"Do I still need to register for the All-Star Weekend event? Wasn't it voted for? "Seriously, Wang Cannon really doesn't know this, and I haven't heard of it before when I was in the Heat.
"Don't you know?" Looking at Wang Cannon like a Martian, Griffin said a little speechlessly: "Of course, you don't need to register for the All-Star Rookie Challenge and the main game, even if you want to sign up, you can't get in, but the other three competitions, the skills competition, the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest need to be registered." Just like when I participated in the slam dunk contest last year, it was signed up and handed over to the league by the clippers. ”
"I see!" Wang Cannon only then remembered that it seemed that this kind of thing had happened when he was in the Heat last year, but at that time, Wang Cannon was just a rookie who couldn't do anything but defense, so he didn't report anything.
"That's right! Wang Cannon, you can report a slam dunk contest and a three-point contest! Hearing Wang Dacang's question, several people around the registration form immediately noticed Wang Dacang, "With your slamming ability and accurate three-point shot, it is easy to win the championship of these two games!" ”
It's so easy!
It's so easy!
Flip back!
Yes!
"Eh" Wang Cannon finally remembered, he was praised by those guys, and it seemed that he really signed up at that time, but he forgot about this matter afterwards, and those guys were not specific or unintentional, and no one mentioned this matter in front of him, more than a month has passed in a flash, if it wasn't for Griffin suddenly mentioning it today, he really can't remember such a thing!
"Holy! You can't just forget, do you? Looking at Wang Cannon's appearance, Griffin was speechless for a moment, "It's okay to say the three-point contest, if you don't prepare for the slam dunk contest, it's a shame to go up!" ”
"What's that?" Wang Dacang said indifferently: "Am I still afraid of being embarrassed?" It's a big deal, big brother, soy sauce and then down? ”
But that's the case, although I was praised by the Clippers guys at the time, and I really thought about winning the three-point junior championship and the slam dunk contest championship, but now that I think about it, this idea is a little too unrealistic.
Not to mention anything else, if he participates in the three-point contest and the dunk contest, it means that during the entire All-Star Weekend, Wang Cannon will have four games to attend.
The four events are the All-Star Rookie Challenge, the All-Star Game, the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest and the All-Star Three-Point Contest.
It's All-Star Weekend, a relaxing holiday, not a playoff game. Besides, even if it's a playoffs, it's about a day of games and a day off, are you good, the three days of the All-Star Weekend are all full? The first day of the Rookie Challenge, the second day of the three-point contest and the dunk contest, and the third day of the main game?
Even if Wang Cannon is open, even if he doesn't have any worries about not being able to support his body every time he goes on the field, he will be very tired in his heart.
So the first time he remembered this incident, Wang Cannon wanted to give up the three-point contest and the slam dunk contest.
Originally, these two projects were not the highlight of the All-Star program, and which of the league's top superstars took this kind of award seriously? Not to mention these two events, even if it is a rookie challenge, Wang Cannon is not ready to play, there is no scoring reward, and there is no task reward, he has a problem with himself on the field and is tired of himself?
As for relying on all-stars to improve his popularity, Wang Dacang doesn't think about it at all, and now Wang Dacang no longer needs to rely on these aspects to improve his popularity.
"It's just a happy decision, playing soy sauce in the middle of the game, and I'll relax and relax!" Wang Cannon said to himself in his heart, "This will be much easier, then listen to James, they are going to have fun in Orlando's nightclub tonight, should I go with them?" ”
Wang Dacang thought about it carefully, and it seems that he has never succeeded in his nightclub history.
"I really don't believe in this evil, my Wang Cannon is not suitable for nightclubs? Gotta try again! It's in Orlando! ”
Thinking like this, Wang Dacang's mood gradually improved, and the painting work in his hands became more and more brisk.
Looking at Wang Cannon's relaxed expression, Griffin shook his head, ready to go back to his work.
But at this time, he suddenly found that Wang Dacang's expression suddenly froze, that expression seemed to be very happy, but it seemed to be very depressed, all in all, Wang Dacang looked quite entangled at this moment. (To be continued......)
