You'd better wrap me

Chapter 44

On April 12, at 30:[-] p.m., Sujan landed at Cleveland Airport with Pelinka.

Sit in the reception car, and the two rushed to the hotel designated by the organizer - the Ritz-Carlton. I heard that it is the only five-star hotel in Cleveland together with the InterContinental Hotel. Basically, all NBA teams will choose Cleveland when they play away games. Staying at one of these two hotels, the McDonald's High School All-Star Game was in Cleveland, and the specs weren't down.

The address of the hotel is located in the center of the city. Vehicles are driving all the way. The streets are lined with small, dilapidated and uninteresting buildings. Compared with California or New York, it is deserted and has no atmosphere. Bran Pelinka complained about the population of Kecheng The loss is too severe.

"The Internet age has arrived, and the fate of industrial cities is like this. Cleveland is good, but Detroit will be even worse in a few years..." Su Yang also sighed, thinking that it is no wonder that Wade and Bosh are unwilling to come to Cleveland. This place is really bad. Too much to stay.

The tragedy of the small ball market is probably like this. Thinking about it in reverse, Jordan can make the Bulls, a professional sports team that ranks fourth in Chicago, into the NBA, or even all the professional sports teams in the United States. .

"I will also go to small cities + small ball markets in the future, and abruptly turn that team into a global giant?" Su Yang's mind flashed the names of Timberwolves, Kings, Nuggets, Jazz and other teams, and then he thought about not going TM It's really boring to break the place.

After thinking about it, the car arrived at the hotel.

After finishing the settlement, I casually read the news and found that after the Rockets were replaced by Larry Smith as the interim head coach because of Tang Shuai’s illness, Dayao’s playing time decreased and his record also declined. Basically, he did not make it to the playoffs Hopefully, that makes the first-round pick the Rockets gave to the Grizzlies worth more, saying West could use that first-round pick for something big.

"Larry Smith is really good! With Boss Fu and Mobley, he can't even arrange for Dayao to catch the ball. Even Van Gundy is not as good as..." Seeing the news, Su Yang said in his heart that if he went to coach the Rockets, the effect would definitely be better. Better than Larry Smith.

While watching the news, someone knocked on the door.

When I opened it, it turned out to be LeBron.

After exchanging pleasantries and chatting for a while, LeBron showed the PS2 game console in his hand, "After the training is over, come to my room to play games. The recently popular "GTA Vice City" has the same name as your teammate. Call Tommy! We can also play your "StarCraft", I heard that you are the number one Zerg player in Los Angeles! I want to challenge you!"

"talk later!"

Su Yang was a little dazed, thinking where did LeBron find out about him? Could it be that he was studying himself, but LeBron really loves to play games. After more than ten years, he often played until midnight. Now this kind of All-Star Weekend, Certainly not to be missed.

Think again that the plot of GTA Sin City takes place in Miami. Is it possible to get familiar with it in advance for the future?
Let’s chat a few more words, and several Western teammates who were selected as McDonald’s All-Stars with Su Yang came to say hello, including old rivals Leon Powe and Aaron Brooks, as well as the future ace commentator, the king of hype, LeBron AAU teammate Perkins.

"Wow, KP is your teammate!" Between LeBron's words, he deliberately pretended to be jealous, and when Perkins and the others laughed, he showed a cheerful expression: "But I also teamed up with Chris Paul. Lah, definitely blow up your west!"

Everyone in the west exploded when they heard the news.

Su Yang smiled and said nothing, thinking that the East is indeed super strong. Apart from LeBron and Paul, there are villains such as Villanueva and Rolle Deng. If you don’t count yourself in the West, the biggest player in the West is either Shannon- Brown, or Doody Abby.

With such a lineup, the East will definitely beat the West.

"I don't think so!" Su Yang shook his head.

Everyone in the west shouted after hearing the words, LeBron said with a smile, wait and see, and left with the game console in his arms.

Perkins and others followed and left. Su Yang said in his heart that there was a teammate in the west, Dudi Abby, who hadn't seen him. He stood at the door and waited for a while, but he still didn't wait for anyone. Instead, he left the hotel according to the arrangement and took a special car. Head to Gund Sports Arena.

Bran Pelinka gossips when he gets in the car: "The 26th McDonald's All-Star is specially chosen to be held at the home court of the Cleveland Cavaliers. I heard that it is to create momentum for LeBron to join the Cavaliers with the first pick. The Cavaliers are the most likely The team that got the No. [-] pick, many people and companies want LeBron to join the Cavaliers as a natural thing like drinking water..."

Su Yang thought about it and didn't answer. Bran Pelinka continued: "Our agent is discussing internally that you should not help LeBron solve it. That is to train your own opponents, although he has announced that he will Enter the summer draft."

"Don't make it so small!"

Su Yang just replied, he was too lazy to say more, but felt that it was not helping LeBron, but LeBron giving himself a chance.

It's only about ten minutes' drive away.

Su Yang arrived at the arena that was still called Gund rather than Quicken Loans. According to the staff's guidance, he first checked in, then went to do simple makeup, then took a photo of his personal makeup, and finally took part in a group photo with his Western All-Star teammates. .

McDonald's officially did not assign seats and standing positions, but Perkins and the others automatically reserved the C position in the middle, and even pointed Su Yang's eyes, as if to say: This position must belong to you.It's like taking photos of NBA All-Stars over the years.

Su Yang nodded, and was about to raise his foot to step over, but Dudi Aibi hurriedly stood up and sat down. He seemed not at all worried that his height of 201 centimeters would affect the group photo. His expression was quite resolute, which made Parkin Si and the others looked at each other.

The photographer immediately turned his head to look over, Su Yang didn't react when he saw this, and thought: This Dudi Abby, who hadn't seen anyone in the hotel before, is grabbing the C seat very fast now, let him grab it, I'm too lazy to be ordinary , get it done early so we can go to training.

After making up his mind, Su Yang walked up to Du Di and stood still. The photographer shrugged when he saw this, and shot continuously, and it was done quickly.

After the group photo was taken, the staff continued to push the process.

Reporters from all walks of life who had been waiting for a long time swarmed in, and almost all of them surrounded Su Yang, from front to back, from left to right, and a few reporters went to Shannon Brown and others. Abby, no one.

In such a situation, Dudi Abby's face was quite embarrassing, and his heart was inexplicably angry. After all, he was also the MVP of the junior group of the Adidas ABCD training camp, and the MVP of the ROUND BALL Invitational Tournament. Why didn't there be a reporter!

During the embarrassment, the staff dispatched a reporter who couldn't even get close to Su Yang for an interview. The embarrassing situation was slightly resolved, but after the reporter asked two routine questions, he asked Dudi Abby about Su Yang. What impression?
The situation became more embarrassing.

However, Perkins and others were also treated in the same way. Out of courtesy, those reporters asked them two or three questions about them, and then all turned to ask about Su Yang. In the end, they all got an answer: Su Yang once defeated I.

On Su Yang's side, the old acquaintance Ramona Shelburne first asked: "Why do you support the strongest opponent LeBron?"

"I'm not supporting LeBron, but I'm supporting all high school and college players who should be able to benefit from their own strengths. I have benefited a lot from basketball and many basketball players. I think it is my duty to stand up."

"Then do you think there will be changes in the end? Many people questioned and opposed you like you before, but they didn't get the support of JAYZ and other stars, or even the NBA. Do you agree that you are the leader of this wave?"

"Of course there will be changes. The various high school leagues and college committees must see the fans' wishes and potential competition. It's not that I get support from stars such as JAYZ or even the NBA. It's because they understand me and agree with the logic. I Of course I am the leader of this wave, but I am only standing on the shoulders of countless predecessors to achieve results."

"It is reported that you and LeBron will give a speech before the start of the main game. United Dwight, Cameron and others will call on more players to fight for their rights. In order to contact those players, you have done a lot. Long email exchanges, are you already good friends? Will you consider playing together after entering the NBA in the future?"

"It is true that more people will be called to join. We and LeBron do share the same ideas in many aspects, and we also share many common hobbies, such as playing games. As for whether we will play together in the future, let us see what happens."

The interview ends instead.

According to the plan, the Western version will first use the arena, simply run-in before the game, and wait for the coach to give relevant guidance.

Su Yang entered the court, and was surprised to see that the Western coach was also an old acquaintance——Coach Adam Adam from Westchester High School. He had just played against the state championship playoffs before. In that game, he scored 56 points. The opponent's morale collapsed.

If he hadn't turned out, Westchester High would be the state champion, Adam's coaching career would be even better, and next season, Ariza and Bobby Brown would go to college, leaving only Gabe Prue Te and Amir Johnson, hard to beat.

The western side will then gather.

Coach Adam Adam said loudly: "I know you are all talents from various high schools, but in the team I coach, I will always have the final say. The attitude is the same as that of Kobe and other players. I want to win. You better have the same idea as me. I will not let you fight. I have designed an offensive and defensive strategy. After I finish speaking later, we will run a few more specifics. tactics, and when the game starts, you must pay attention to my on-the-spot command, if you have any dissatisfaction, then speak out now!"

After the voice fell, Perkins and others fell silent.

Su Yang said in his heart that I was not convinced, but he thought about it again. The most important thing for this time to participate in the McDonald's All-Stars is to make a call and continue to fight for the interests of high school and college players. It doesn't matter how the exhibition game is played, it's just a formality.

Without thinking about it, Coach Adam Adam continued: "Very good! Since no one objected, then don't say something like 'I have a better idea'..." Between words, he stared at Su Yang seemed quite dissatisfied.
