Chapter 210 Beauty, Are You Chasing Husband Thousands of Miles or Chasing Husband Thousands of Miles?
On the evening of February 2th, this season's All-Star Weekend Rookie Tournament started as scheduled at the "Phillips Arena" in Atlanta.

Yao Ming originally wanted to withdraw from the Rookie Tournament, but Wang Dalin called him to persuade him to put more energy into the Rookie Tournament, because the All-Star Game will never be a center stage.

Yao Ming obviously listened to Wang Dalin's words, so he didn't choose to withdraw from the Rookie Tournament, and he played a very impressive performance in the game... Uh, facing a bunch of second-year opponents, Yao Ming is still very strong!

Since Gilbert Arenas was reimbursed for the season due to injury after joining the Wizards (here is a plot kill), the strength of this second-year team has been greatly affected. They struggled against the first-year rookies. Only Jason Richardson of the Warriors can continue to score points from inside and outside.

I have to say that Yao Ming's teammate is really good. Not only does he have super athletic ability comparable to Carter, but his mid-range shots are getting more and more accurate. He is currently the second-leading scorer in the Warriors team, averaging 18.2 points per game, second only to team leader Antawn Jamison's 21.3 points.

In addition to Yao Ming's outstanding performance on the first-year team, Amare Stoudemire, also known as the "little bully", also began to perform various dunks. His impact made the second-year team's center Tyson Chandler feel a little overwhelmed.

With Chandler's size and athletic ability, the effect of defending Stoudemire should be very good, but here is the All-Star weekend, it is impossible to defend every ball very seriously; secondly, if he frequently helps defend Stoudemire, Yao Ming can pull the ball to the mid-range catch and shoot.

As Yao Ming gradually became famous, the entire league now knows that this young center's shooting ability is quite good...Among those over 213cm tall, who else would dare to compete with Yao Ming in shooting?
During this period, the rookie match still adopted a 20-minute game system in the first and second halves.

At the end of the first half, the first-year team temporarily led the second-year team with 62:58. In the second half, the players of the second-year team finally showed their advantages in experience and began to play various exquisite coordination. Jason Richardson's outside offense finally activated the most powerful insider in their team - Pau Gasol!
The young "sister-in-law" can play both inside and outside, and he still plays with ease under Yao Ming's defense. Moreover, he also has a delicate passing skill and can often send wonderful passes to his teammates.

The first-year team, in addition to continuing to focus on Yao Ming as their offensive strength, they also took more mid-range and long-range shots. Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur from the Pistons, two inside players with first-class shooting ability, performed particularly well.

The scores of the two sides have been rising alternately until the last moment of the game, when Yao Ming made a strong attack at the basket and caused Chandler's thug foul.

The first-year team led by 2 points after Yao Ming hit an extra penalty, and there were 6 seconds left in the game.

At this moment, Jason Richardson stepped forward again and scored a lore three-pointer under extremely difficult circumstances.

At 121:120, the second-grade team defeated the first-grade "junior students" very thrillingly, and the two sides presented an extremely exciting offensive and defensive performance for the audience.

贾森.理查德森全场21投13中砍下32分3篮板3助攻，拿到了本届新秀对抗赛的MVP。

Yao Ming made 19 of 11 shots and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists... He was the best player on the first-year team, but it was a pity that they failed to win, otherwise the MVP would be him!

What followed was a 3V3 Star Contest. Wang Dalin didn't have much interest in it, so he got up and went outside to buy some popcorn and "Gatorade".

As soon as he paid the money, he saw a familiar figure not far away. After being surprised, he couldn't help smiling, and then walked over with the popcorn and drinks he just bought.

"Zi Lin, why are you here?" Wang Dalin walked behind this tall girl, suddenly patted her on the shoulder, and then jumped in front of her.

To be honest, Wang Dalin was really surprised that Zhang Zilin would appear in Atlanta at this time. According to the original history, shouldn't she be studying at Beijing University of Science and Technology?
As expected of the Miss World champion in the original history, Zhang Zilin looks extraordinarily youthful and beautiful even in a simple denim suit.

Compared with the last time we met in Shanghai, Zhang Zilin's hair was a little longer. At this moment, she has long hair with a shawl, which is exactly what later generations call "black and long straight".

"Ah? Dalin...it's you!" Zhang Zilin was taken aback by the sudden greeting, and he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Wang Dalin who came. "You suddenly ran behind me and made such a loud voice, I thought it was our team leader!"

"Team leader? What kind of leader?" Wang Dalin couldn't help being puzzled.

"It's the leader of our model team, his name is Yan Jialiang!" Zhang Zilin laughed, "By the way, you don't know...I was admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy last year. I originally thought that I could become an actor after I finished my studies. But last year I signed up for the 'New Silk Road Model Competition' and won the runner-up right away, so I will come out to work part-time as a model during the holidays!"

When he said this, Zhang Zilin could not hide his pride.

After hearing this, Wang Dalin couldn't help sighing inwardly—fate is really unstoppable!

Zhang Zilin did not enter the Beijing University of Science and Technology but the Beijing Film Academy. This is completely different from her original life trajectory, but she still signed up for the "New Silk Road Model Contest", and it was a year earlier than the original time and space!
"Zi Lin, why did you come to Atlanta?" Wang Dalin was still a little puzzled... It seems that Atlanta hasn't had any major fashion events recently, right?
Zhang Zilin smiled and said: "Speaking of this, I have to thank you!"

Wang Dalin was suddenly puzzled: "Why should you thank me?"

Zhang Zilin smiled and said, "If 'Li Ning' company hadn't held a promotional activity during the NBA All-Star Weekend this year, how could our model team have received such good business... You are the spokesperson of 'Li Ning', shouldn't I thank you?"

Wang Dalin suddenly realized: "Are you the models who will come to the catwalk tomorrow afternoon?"

Zhang Zilin laughed and said, "You only realized it now? What an idiot!"

Of course Wang Dalin knew about this catwalk event, because he himself had to participate.

In order to promote products, the "Li Ning" company arranged a large-scale fashion show on the scene of this year's All-Star Weekend... It is said to be a fashion show, but in fact, in addition to sportswear, it also displayed sports shoes, protective gear, accessories and other products.

Wang Dalin thought for a while, then stared at Zhang Zilin suddenly and showed a teasing smile: "As far as I know, there will be a swimsuit show tomorrow afternoon, don't you want to go too?"

"What's the matter with the swimsuit?" Zhang Zilin laughed, "I'm a model... Let alone a swimsuit, I've also been in underwear shows. What's the fuss?"

Wang Dalin was stunned speechless... Yes, it is common for professional models to appear in underwear shows. Swimsuits are really no big deal.

Zhang Zilin looked at Wang Dalin, and suddenly said with a smile: "Dalin, you seem to be stronger than last summer, did you eat better in America?"

Wang Dalin couldn't help laughing and said, "I eat the team's nutritious meals most of the time, and that stuff... almost makes me vomit!"

"Is it chicken breast and fruit salad boiled in salt water?" Zhang Zilin asked curiously, "This is the nutritious meal for our model team. It's so unpalatable!"

"Yes, those things... and freshly squeezed fruit juice or vegetable juice!" Wang Dalin laughed, "It seems that your model team is quite professional. Have you hired a professional nutritionist?"

Zhang Zilin nodded and said: "Well, the nutritionist of our model team is very good, he also worked in Madonna's private team before!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "So you often eat that stuff too?"

Zhang Zilin said with a smile: "I'm only a part-time job, and I usually go to school in Beijing Film Academy, so I've only eaten this kind of food a few times in total...it's really unpalatable!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zilin couldn't help sticking out his tongue, Wang Dalin was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but praise: "You really look more beautiful the longer you grow!"

Zhang Zilin couldn't help but blushed, and scolded coquettishly: "You are much thicker than before...does it mean that after staying in the United States for a long time, you will become thicker?"

Wang Dalin laughed loudly and said, "How can this happen? You have watched too many American blockbusters, right? Let me tell you, there are many Americans who are very shy, just like my teammate Joan Barry, he is very shy!"

Zhang Zilin shook his head and said, "I'm not very familiar with your teammate, it seems like you haven't been on the scene much?"

Wang Dalin nodded and said, "That's right, he's a backup striker with good defense and three-pointers. Our team is very strong this year, and we have a great chance to win another championship!"

Zhang Zilin giggled and said, "Well, I've been following you all along, and your team will definitely win the championship this year!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Then let me lend you a good word. When we win the championship, I will return to Beijing and lend you the championship ring for two days!"

Zhang Zilin couldn't help laughing out loud, not caring about his own image at all.

After laughing, she seemed to suddenly remember something, then took off the small satchel on her back, unzipped it and took out a stack of banknotes, while counting the money, she said, "You didn't say lend me the ring, I almost forgot, I borrowed 3000 yuan from you last time, and I can return it to you today!"

Wang Dalin hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I didn't mean that...you take the flowers first, I'm not short of money!"

"I know you're a rich man!" Zhang Zilin couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "As the saying goes, it's only natural to pay off debts. I owe you the 3000 yuan for two years. Now that I met you today, if I don't pay you back, will I be an old man? Take it!"

Wang Dalin had no choice but to take the 30 red "Grandpa Mao" sheets from her, and put them in his pocket.

Seeing the popcorn and drinks in his hands, Zhang Zilin asked, "Are you here to buy food?"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "We are playing a 3V3 star competition inside. I am not very interested, so I just want to go out and buy some food. I will go back to watch the three-point shooting contest and the dunk contest later."

Zhang Zilin asked blankly: "Aren't you going to participate in the three-point shooting contest this year?"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "I only won a championship last year. Wouldn't it be bullying to go again this year?"

"Bah! I think you are afraid of losing face if you lose?" Zhang Zilin couldn't help laughing.

Wang Dalin pretended to be angry and said, "Are you so disrespectful to me? Don't you know that I've made 172 three-pointers this season? I'm not boasting. No one who can compete with me in three-pointers has yet to enter the NBA!"

(Stephen Curry: Darling Wang, you are so right!)

Zhang Zilin smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you are the best in the world in three-pointers, right? By the way, are you sitting in the front row seat? Can I go and sit with you? I am so grown up, I have never sat in the first row of an NBA arena!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said: "No problem, as long as you are not afraid of being my rumored girlfriend!"

They chatted outside the arena supermarket for a long time but no one noticed, mainly because the media reporters were basically in the arena. If Zhang Zilin went in with Wang Dalin, he would be found in less than ten seconds. Maybe the headline news of the major media tomorrow would be "Darling-Wang's Rumored Girlfriend Appears at the All-Star Weekend Live".

Zhang Zilin froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "They can think whatever they like, I don't care about them... Come on, I'll go in with you!"

Wang Dalin smiled and said, "Let's go!"

……

I have to say that Wang Dalin was so courageous that he actually brought Zhang Zilin into the arena.

It is estimated that both of them have thought of what will happen early the next morning... The reports of major media are definitely overwhelming, and Zhang Zilin will be dubbed "Darling-Wang's Gossip Girlfriend" immediately.

But Zhang Zilin really didn't care too much, she was originally Wang Dalin's little fan girl, and she probably wanted to be a "gossip girlfriend"!

As for Wang Dalin... Maybe he really hoped this would happen?
Over the past year with the Pistons, Wang Dalin and his teammates went to nightclubs not once or twice.

Every time he only chatted with his teammates, and always ignored those hostesses in cool clothes, so that Big Ben and Hamilton suspected that he was gay.

If there is a "gossip girlfriend", he can immediately get rid of the suspicion of gay, so why not do it?
And let the champion of Miss World be your "gossip girlfriend", what is there to be dissatisfied with?
Wang Dalin reckoned that as long as he brought Zhang Zilin to show off in front of his teammates, he would guarantee that all those guys would be envious and jealous.

Wang Dalin took Zhang Zilin into the arena, first pointed to his seat and asked her to sit down, and then sat down on the seat next to Hamilton... Originally Hamilton was going to watch the game, but his girlfriend TJ Lottie came to Atlanta suddenly, so he ran away to enjoy the world of two people.

Naturally, the cameras in the arena were aimed at the two of them immediately, and the director was also quick-witted...then they appeared on the big screen immediately.

Zhang Zilin grabbed a few popcorns from Wang Dalin's bucket, and just after she ate them, she was reminded by Wang Dalin that she was on the big screen, so she smiled sweetly towards the camera, it was so beautiful.

Wang Dalin next to him also made a scissors hand towards the camera lens, and even approached Zhang Zilin to make a funny face, which caused an uproar in the audience.

If Zhang Zilin was just laughing at the camera, the majority of people who eat melons might still be "lucky", guessing that she is just a beautiful audience who happened to sit next to Wang Dalin...After Wang Dalin's actions, even if he told reporters that Zhang Zilin was not his girlfriend, no one would believe it.

Zhang Zilin leaned into Wang Dalin's ear with a smile and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?"

That's right, Wang Dalin did it on purpose!
Wang Dalin will soon be 21 years old, and Zhang Zilin will soon be 19 years old. They are both adults in terms of age. If a man is unmarried and a woman is unmarried, what is so strange about becoming lovers?

Besides, he really likes Zhang Zilin, and now it is impossible for the negative news of "falling in love with an underage girl" to appear again. What obstacles can there be between two young men and women who like each other?
Wang Dalin chuckled and said, "What's the matter, isn't it embarrassing to be my 'gossip girlfriend'?"

Zhang Zilin said with a smile: "I'm going to be killed by you now, and I have to go to the catwalk tomorrow. My sisters don't know how to laugh at me!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Then tomorrow I will wear the same sportswear as you on the catwalk, show them directly, and see if they dare to laugh at you?"

Zhang Zilin smiled, and put his face close to his ear again, this time his voice was much softer: "Dalin, you really want me to be your girlfriend, right?"

Wang Dalin froze for a moment, then nodded and asked, "Then I would like to ask, would the beautiful Miss Zhang be my girlfriend?"

Zhang Zilin couldn't help blushing, stretched out his hand to pinch his arm and said, "There are so many people here... how can you chase after girls like this?"

Wang Dalin couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, after the show is over tomorrow, shall we go on a date alone?"

Zhang Zilin said coquettishly: "Hey, who agreed to date you alone?"

Wang Dalin said with a smile, "Don't rush to refuse... I heard that there is a famous 'Hand in Hand' restaurant in Atlanta. I will make a reservation early tomorrow morning. We will have a romantic candlelight dinner tomorrow night. How about it?"

Zhang Zilin rolled his eyes at him and said, "How about the candlelight dinner? You won't be playing the All-Star game tomorrow night?"

Wang Dalin deliberately smiled and said, "How can 'Gossip Girl' be so important in the All-Star Game? Anyway, I'm just a substitute, and those spectators are also going to watch Jordan, what difference does it make if I play or not?"

Zhang Zilin laughed and scolded: "Don't be rude... Tomorrow night, you play the game well... Remember to get me a front row ticket... I don't want to watch the big screen outside the arena!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "No problem, you can cheer for me tomorrow night in the front seat, and see how I deal with those guys in the west!"

Zhang Zilin smiled and said: "Be careful, don't let someone give you a few hats, then you will lose face... Hahaha..."

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "How many hats do I have? Just rely on those guys from the west? I'm not bragging, even if I give them a shot of chicken blood, they won't even think about it!"

……

The two just chatted without saying a word, not caring that the three-point shooting competition on the field has reached the tense second round.

There is always one camera in the arena facing the two of them, and the director is very witty and often switches the pictures on the big screen... The United States is indeed the country with the best entertainment industry in the world. How can people here lack the spirit of gossip?
Every time Wang Dalin and Zhang Zilin appeared on the big screen, the audience would shout in unison—"KISS...KISS...KISS..."

This is not their deliberate booing, but a "custom" that has long been formed in the NBA... According to this "custom", when someone appears on the big screen, the two people in the middle of the screen should immediately kiss.

Wang Dalin and Zhang Zilin didn't care about this, they just talked to themselves, as if they didn't see the big screen at all.

After all, they are both Chinese, but they are not as open as Lao Mei... To be more precise, even if they have become a real couple, kissing in front of so many people... This kind of behavior is still a bit too exaggerated!
In the TNT live broadcast room, Barkley couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha... I knew that Darling couldn't be gay. He is so tough on the court, how could he be gay? If I knew it, I would have made a bet with Clifford!"

Smith couldn't help asking: "When you were in the Pistons, did everyone think that Darling Wang was gay?"

Barkley was still laughing, and said while laughing: "That's right...hahaha...Because every time we go to a nightclub, no matter how many beautiful women we call, he ignores them...Hahaha...Everyone thinks he is GAY, only I firmly believe that he can't be GAY...Hahaha, I still have vision!"

Smith looked at Zhang Zilin on the big screen, and couldn't help but praise: "This girl is really beautiful...By the way, she seems to be very tall, she can't be Darling-Wang's sister?"

Barkley said with a smile: "You can ask this sentence, it shows that you know too little about Darling! Darling's parents are only one son, where does he have a sister?"

Still unconvinced, Smith said, "What if it's a cousin or cousin?"

Buckley smiled and said, "I can tell you very clearly - Darling has no cousin, and no cousin, so you should be sure that this girl is his girlfriend, right?"

Smith thought for a moment and had no choice but to say: "It seems that there is really only one possibility!"

Buckley laughed and said, "That's the only possibility... Hey, Darling has a really good eye, and this girl is so pretty!"

As soon as the two of them sang together, they directly confirmed Zhang Zilin's identity - Darling-Wang's girlfriend!
……

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away.

Liu Xiang finally didn't arrange training today, so he was bored watching TV at home, and saw this scene within a few minutes after switching to the CCTV sports channel.

Director Zhang's commentary came from the TV——

"We saw the girl sitting next to Dalin named Zhang Zilin. She used to be an excellent young women's hurdler in our country and had achieved good results in national competitions. But I heard that she later chose to enter the Beijing Film Academy to study acting. She may become a new generation of movie stars in the future!"

"We don't know why she is sitting next to Dalin. I guess they are very good friends!"

As the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, although Director Zhang is 100% sure that Zhang Zilin is Wang Dalin's little girlfriend, he dare not talk nonsense during the live broadcast, so he can only use "very good friend" to explain to the audience.

But who is Liu Xiang?
He was Zhang Zilin's senior brother back then, so how could he not know that his little junior sister has always been Wang Dalin's little fan girl?

Although he competed everywhere in the past two years and had little contact with Zhang Zilin, he was still silently paying attention to his little junior sister. He even knew about her being admitted to Beijing Film Academy and participating in the modeling competition.

So at this moment, Liu Xiang, who just broke the world youth record in the men's 7-meter hurdles in July last year, couldn't help but sighed in surprise—"Little sister, you say that you are such a beautiful woman, can you be more reserved... Are you chasing a husband thousands of miles or chasing a husband thousands of miles?"
