Zheng Ke is the second foreign championship MVP in NBA history, the first being Tony Parker of the Spurs, and he never imagined that he would be treated like a hero when he came back one day.

Zheng Ke's celebration route was about seven days in Beijing and Zheng Ke's hometown of CZ City, and although Zheng Ke was a little tired, he was always in a state of excitement. In Beijing, the local government held a fan meeting for Zheng Ke, all in the local basketball stadium, when Zheng Ke had not yet entered, the stadium was shouting "MVP", and after Zheng Ke entered, he was treated with a standing ovation from the audience.

No matter where he is, Zheng Ke is the focus of the fans' eyes. He listened to the fans chanting his name, occasionally throwing his signed basketball at the spectators in the stands.

The host at the scene spoke Mandarin in Beijing, he was a bit like a DJ in the target center, and he knew how to stir up the atmosphere of the scene. He knows what the fans like to watch, so he asks Zheng Ke to interact with the fans from time to time, so that the atmosphere is always in a warm state.

Out of the interaction between Zheng Ke and the fans, there were also celebrities who came to sing at the scene, all of whom were more stars who like basketball, Hu Ge, "black" Chen Jianzhou and his wife, Jay Chou, Luo Zhixiang, Huang Xiaoming, etc. Many celebrities, Zheng Ke has only seen them on TV before and has never communicated with them, but now he can communicate with them at close range, which makes Zheng Ke very excited, even more excited than seeing Hollywood superstars in Staples.

In addition, there were also Chinese men's basketball players present. Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and roughly three of them led a bunch of men's basketball players to attend the event, all of whom were guests who came to help Zheng Ke.

At the same time, he was present with Zheng Ke. There is also Wu You, a streetball expert from Beijing, although the Basketball Association won the first stop for Zheng Ke to return to China, but the details of the event were completely handed over to Adidas, as a representative of China's streetball industry, Adidas arranged a meeting between Wu You and Zheng Ke.

Although Zheng Ke didn't know Wu You, he had already done his homework before, so when he saw Wu You, he greeted warmly as soon as he saw him: "Hi." Wu You. ”

"Hi, Zheng Ke." Wu You stretched out his big hand, and the two shook hands.

Basketball. What do fans like to watch the most, the exquisite basketball combination? The earth-shattering tomahawk buckle? Or is it a gorgeous change of direction? I'm afraid it's a little bit, but on the basketball court, what fans love to see most is heads-up between players. Whether Iverson singled out Jordan before. or Zheng Ke singled out Kobe Bryant later, which is a topic that fans talk about.

Wu You's arrival was to meet the needs of Beijing fans.

In the shouting of "heads-up" from the fans in the audience, Zheng Ke and Wu You served with a smile, and at the top of the three-point line arc in the half, the two started the heads-up drama that had been arranged long ago.

It was an unfair heads-up, and Zheng felt like he was playing with a child, albeit without contribution. still easily blocked Wu You's first layup.

The crowd burst into laughter, and all the fans who came here were Zheng Ke's fans. Wu You and Zheng Ke are single-handed, in their eyes, this is no different from looking for death.

Zheng Ke's skillful crotch dribbling on the outside, I can't see anything in the NBA against people of the same size, and now compared with a person with a relatively normal figure, I suddenly feel the horror of Zheng Ke, such a height, such long arms, dribbling under the crotch in front of you, and suddenly there is a feeling of no way to start.

"叱~"

The sneakers rubbed against the floor violently, Zheng Ke pretended to break through, retracted the basketball under his crotch, and shot directly outside the three-point line, he didn't even jump, just tiptoed slightly.

"Huh!"

As if in training, Zheng Ke hit without any pressure. The fans immediately cheered, and their hearts were full of joy to see the new MVP playing.

Zheng Ke adjusted his strength and released Wu You a few times, which may be the first time in his life that he "played match-fixing", but the effect was positive.

"Smack." This time, Wu You's dribble was directly broken by Zheng Ke's big long arm.

"Buckle one, buckle one!" I don't know who instigated it, the fans at the scene clamored for Zheng Ke to deduct one, and Zheng Ke smiled helplessly.

Wu You directly got out of the way, Zheng Ke rushed into the inner line, took three steps, changed his left hand to his right hand, kicked the ground and flew, grabbed the ball and put it behind his head, rounded his arm, and then swung it down suddenly!

"Boom!"

Under Zheng Ke's huge force, the basketball hoop underwent drastic deformation, and the basketball hoop shook for a while, as if it was about to fall down at any time, which made people sweat in their hearts.

Seeing a dunk on TV is different from seeing a dunk on the spot, the lightning-like explosive power seems to cut through the eyes, giving people a huge visual impact, and the cheers of "MVP" suddenly appeared in the arena again.

Zheng Ke easily won this heads-up and satisfied the audience's taste.

This celebration in Beijing attracted a large number of fans, even the general admission tickets in poor locations are hard to find. And the many stars who came around to help added a lot to this celebration, the Basketball Association, Adidas, and the Timberwolves all showed their faces in this grand celebration, and also made a lot of publicity for each of them.

In comparison, the celebration of Zheng Ke's return to his hometown of CZ City was much smaller.

But the enthusiasm of the hometown people still flattered Zheng Ke, and the simple celebration banners of the hometown fans in his eyes were heard in his ears, and the local dialect familiar to his hometown was heard in his ears. In this land where Zheng Ke has lived for more than ten years, Zheng Ke understands the feeling of returning home, which is a great honor.

Zheng Ke took Taylor home, met many elders in the family, and received their blessings.

Taylor came to Zheng Ke's place for the first time, she used half-baked Chinese, curiously inquired about Zheng Ke's childhood, she walked into Zheng Ke's high school alma mater with Zheng Ke, and Zheng Ke held hands with Zheng Ke, strolling on the playground where Zheng Ke used to sweat.

At this time in June, the college entrance examination has ended, and the students of the first and second years of high school are still studying hard in the quiet summer night, Zheng Ke and Taylor sit back to back, on the empty playground, looking up at the starry night sky, breathing the freshest air in the city, and their hearts are released.

After living peacefully for several days, Zheng Ke received a message from McHale.

Two messages.

One is that the Timberwolves officially reached a contract extension with head coach Randy Whitman, and the Timberwolves re-put Randy Whitman on the Timberwolves' chariot with a four-year $15 million contract, a four-year team option, and only a partially guaranteed contract, which is good news for both parties. Although the outside world has not received the news yet, McHale still informed Zheng Ke in advance.

Zheng Ke sent a short message to Whitman, congratulating his mentor on the successful contract renewal.

Another piece of information about trading the No. 5 pick with the Wizards, the Wizards are willing to peddle their No. 5 pick this year, provided that the Timberwolves must use Randy Foye and McMiller as chips, which makes McMiller very entangled, on the one hand, if you have a No. 5 pick, you can pick a rookie with a high pick, on the other hand, the loss of two big players is inconsistent with all the business strategies aimed at preserving the championship-winning lineup.

So he asked Zheng Ke for advice.

"There's no need for that." Zheng Ke replied: "We are not short of outside players, but almost all of the players who participated in this year's draft are high-quality outside players, and in exchange for draft picks, it is better to exchange for excellent interior players, and if they have to trade, I think they have to take Javier McGee." ”

"McGee?" McHale was stunned for a moment, quickly flipped through the player profile in his mind, and finally remembered who it was.

In terms of talent, McGee, who was drafted in '08, is an interior player with unlimited potential, his height, reach, and bounce are all in the upper reaches of the NBA, and he also has excellent defensive awareness and blocking level, which is simply another birdman.

Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious, too thin body, brainless performance on the court, easy to foul, etc., in short, well-trained, McGee is likely to be an All-Star player, and if he is not well trained, this player may also be wasted.

"From the current point of view, the Wizards want to develop McGee well, and it is unlikely that the Timberwolves will ask the Wizards to take a trade with McGee." McHale thought for a moment and responded.

Without waiting for Zheng Ke to react, McHale continued to send a message, "Recently, Randy Foye has made a lot of offers, it may be that Foye's agent is operating, maybe he thinks that Foye is too condescending to serve as a substitute for the Timberwolves, or maybe the Timberwolves have too many outside players, compressing his playing time." ”

After Zheng Ke finished reading it, he was silent.

Foye is definitely a rare player, and although he struggled a little in the playoffs, he is still in an upswing stage, able to break through with the ball, can organize the offense, shoot accurately, and defend aggressively. He was the team's sixth man during the regular season and was outstanding.

But with the rise of Lowry, McMiller regained his touch, Foye's playing time was repeatedly compressed, although the team did not snub him, but he must have felt uncomfortable in his heart, Zheng Ke felt that as the boss of the team, he was really a failure. As soon as they won the championship, some players thought about leaving the team.

McHale didn't know what Zheng Ke was thinking, and he sent a third message to himself, "June 25 is the '09 draft convention, held at Madison Square Garden in New York, do you want to come and participate?" ”

Zheng Ke reacted and replied: "I will come back to participate" (to be continued......)
