Chapter 181: Responsible for appearance

Now the best way for young NBA players to increase their value is no longer to challenge veteran superstars such as Kobe and James, but to find ways to defeat Wu Huang head-on. This effect will be better than the former and the difficulty will be smaller.

Wu Huang and his teammates arrived in Dallas one day in advance. He could already see countless big and small star advertisements on the streets near the hotel. Many of them were his billboards.

At this point, I'm afraid that all the first and second-year players participating in the rookie challenge are not as large as his billboards. At the same time, Wu Huang is also the only rookie player with a huge billboard. This is a reflection of fame and status, and the two complement each other.

The entire city of Dallas is full of billboards for NBA stars during the All-Star weekend, but the small advertisements on the street cannot reflect the player's value. What truly reflects the player's status and fame is how many huge billboards on the buildings on both sides of the street are there, which is the treatment that real stars can only have.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Wu Huang saw no less than three huge advertisements of his own. Among them, UA alone contributed two. All the players participating in the All-Star Weekend stayed in the hotels were booked in advance by the league, and the league staff were also here to pick up the plane.

Emperor Wu, Gallinari and David Lee also received a Nokia-era feature phone, which is the tool used by the alliance to contact them, and at what time to participate in what activities. Even what to say, all these must be achieved through this mobile phone.

On the morning of February 13, the first-grade team and the second-grade team will conduct two hours of adaptive training in the training hall and then be interviewed by the media.

The nine first-year players are expected to be present, but today, Wu Huang only has five, and the remaining four are the same as Ross. They have just played a game yesterday, and this will be allowed by the league. They will take a break in the hotel and will participate in the All-Star event at least in the afternoon.

Mavericks' assistant coach Tristots will serve as the first-year coach tonight, with Kevin Durant as assistant coach.

After Wu Huang arrived, he greeted his teammates and coach tonight. In fact, everyone knew each other, but it was just a question of whether they were familiar with each other.

Unfortunately, except for being familiar with Ty Gibson who was not present, Wu Huang had no personal relationship with others.

But it doesn’t matter. Don’t you say that a Chinese is a dragon?

Emperor Wu soon started chatting with Spurs center De Juan Blair, and then had a great time with Casby and Jerebko.

No one appeared at this time, and the targets Wu Huang went to win over were inside players, which was a very smart approach.

Of course, these three people would not be cold-eyed at Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu took the initiative to communicate with them, and they couldn't even flatter him!

All fools know that if inside players want to play in the All-Star, they must rely on the help of point guards. Wu Huang is the core ace of the first-year team. As long as he is willing to feed them the ball, these three people can get beautiful points. Otherwise, they will not get the ball at all.

Wu Huang doesn't do business of losing money. Whether it is rookie or main game, the usual rhythm is that inside players find it difficult to touch the ball, so they can only watch these outside stars fly around. But this year Wu Huang is going to do the opposite. He only plans to feed the inside tonight, cooperate with his inside teammates, and does not plan to feed the other outside players.

He has several benefits to doing this. He opens the inside first to make up for the strength gap between the two teams. Secondly, the game pace in the All-Star Game is extremely fast, and there will be a lot of rebounds. As long as the inside passes a small half of the rebounds to him, it will be enough for Wu Huang to get the ball he passed to the inside. Finally, as long as he wins over the inside of the team, he can continue to perform the pick-and-roll cooperation that is most suitable for the exhibition game. At that time, no matter the score and assists, he will have more hands cramps. In comparison, other outside players will not get much ball rights, so naturally they will not get good data.

In this way, as long as the first-year team can win in the end, it is difficult for the rookie MVP to not fall into Wu Huang's pocket.

At noon, the whole team of the first grade was here. Everyone should take a family photo as usual, and this photo will be included in the history of NBA.

However, this photo took more than ten minutes to complete. The so-called competition is the place where there are people. Even taking a family portrait is actually very particular. The status of each player can be seen from the players' positions.

9 players plus 2 coaches start from the first row. The final positions are from left to right: assistant coach Kevin Durant, Brandon Jennings, Wu Huang, Tyrek Evans, Stephen Curry, James Harden, Ty Gibson, Yonas Jerebko, Omi Casby, De Juan Blair, and head coach Tristots.

Wu Huang and Evans stood in the middle of the first row, beside them were Curry and Harden, and two coaches were on both sides. With such a position, the distinction between the four people was already very obvious. Wu Huang and Evans stood in the front and the middle, which meant that the two were the highest in the first-year team.

In the afternoon, NBA will hold community service activities every year at this time, which means that NBA stars who can always see on TV gather trees, brush walls, and move bricks. Finally, they will give some orphans daily necessities, etc.

Wu Huang and all the first-grade rookies were pulled to a newly built elementary school. Each of them planted a few small trees, moved bricks, and played basketball with the children. This was the afternoon activity.

Of course, in the end, the stars could not help but express in front of the media how noble this activity is, how meaningful it is, etc.

"I used to think that democratic society would not engage in such formalism and face-saving projects, but I didn't expect that the world would be as dark as a crow." Emperor Wu scoffed at this kind of voluntary labor from the bottom of his heart, so during the entire labor process in the afternoon, he kept moving the bricks from the pile of bricks to a small cart next to him. When the bricks on the cart were almost full, he moved them while others were not paying attention.

But I have to say that Wu Huang's popularity is really unrivaled among these rookies, and fans keep coming to take photos and chat with him. So Wu Huang quickly was too lazy to even do sports on the spot. He took the opportunity to steal a little lazy, moved a few times, stood up, took a photo, moved two more, and said a few words.

All-Star labor during the day is just a program to entertain the public, and the Rookie Challenge at night is the biggest highlight of the All-Star weekend day.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, among the dense crowds outside the stadium, there were two types of people who were more special. One wanted to watch the game but did not have tickets, so they asked everyone: Do you sell tickets? Another was a scalper in the traditional sense. They asked everyone: Do you want to buy tickets? But of course the price is several times higher.

Fortunately, the venue for this All-Star was held at the NFL Dallas Cowboys Arena. This stadium can accommodate more than 100,000 spectators, far from ordinary basketball halls, so tickets are not as scarce as before.

According to the final statistics on the scene, the number of spectators attending the Cowboy Stadium tonight will reach about 70,000, and the attendance rate tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is expected to go further.

To be honest, the All-Star Weekend has been held for so many years, and the whole process has been well-known by the majority of fans. All the links are familiar to everyone. The so-called innovation is just talk about it, and it has long been impossible to go further.

Whether the All-Star weekend is exciting depends on whether there are any lively treasures like O'Neal among the popular players? As long as there is a superstar like O'Neal who is particularly good at playing tricks and liven up the atmosphere, the All-Star weekend will not be boring. On the other hand, if the players participating are all dull cans like Duncan and Yao Ming, they will be destined to lose their luster.

It is usually difficult for young players to let go in the rookie challenge.

So before the game tonight's game started, the two assistant coaches first came to a fashion show that was overestimating their abilities.

Bosh was wearing a gray suit, but with a red tie on a white striped shirt and an inappropriate pair of sunglasses, it made him feel a little distorted. Of course, the most disgraceful one was the long neck of the Dragon King, which was destined to look good in any clothes. Standing with a handsome man like Wu Huang also destined to not even grab the limelight.

As an assistant coach of the team for the first year, Durant's sense of fashion is even worse than that of the Dragon King. He is also wearing a suit, but the dressing taste of the second young master of Thunder is really not satisfactory. They are also innate disadvantages in body shape. Durant's tall and weak body shape can't support his large suit at all, and it looks so awkward.

It is obvious that this premeditated fashion show failed. The two assistants overestimated their fashion factors. They were simply a fashion disaster and not everyone could become a handsome man.

Compared with the two assistant coaches who are not good-looking, Wu Huang has a very fashionable feeling. He is also wearing a suit, but a yellow jacket with Chinese colors on the top really adds a lot of color to him. With a pair of gold glasses and a bow on the collar of the shirt, his whole gentlemanly charm is fully displayed. All the players present were compared by this Chinese dress for a while.

The live TV broadcast has already judged the image of everyone. The other players only have one or two short shots, but it is Wu Huang's turn to add endless shots, close-ups and close-ups

Brandon was sitting at Wu Huang's house at this time, watching the live broadcast with Kolomorez. The agent stared at Wu Huang on the TV screen with his eyes fixed on him and said seriously: "Hugo's endorsement fee must be increased!"

"This guy dresses up carefully, he is so handsome!" Kolomorez nodded repeatedly, with a crazy-dead fan expression on his face.

There are more than one brainless fan who has the same expression as Kolomorez before the TV. All Wu Huang's female fans look like they are dying.

Christine obviously didn't notice that Emma Watson, who was sitting next to her, saw Emperor Wu on TV, and actually licked his bright lips secretly. The ** revealed in his eyes was no less than hers.

Taylor Swift was much more careful and quickly turned his head to look at Emma Roberts on the side, her appearance of the typical brainless fan was clearly visible to her. (To be continued.)
