137. To know the general
The quarrel between Wu Dawei and LeBron James at the end of the afternoon training class was immediately caused by a sensation across the United States before the All-Star Game began in the evening.
The reporters spread rapidly, and in less than an hour, people knew what happened after the training class. This made many people worry about the Eastern Conference team in this All-Star Game. Before the game started, internal strife was already in trouble. Is there still a chance?
Many people are puzzled by this because in their opinion, nothing can feel worse than internal strife for a team. Orlando people have a deep understanding of this. Dwight Howard's farce only started this season. Last season's semi-finals in the East are now only ranked eighth in the East...
Is it a must-have peace to watch an entertainment-oriented All-Star Game?
The support of Wu Dawei and LeBron James were divided into two groups, and the noise between them did not stop as the All-Star Game was getting closer and closer, which made people feel increasingly worried about this All-Star Game.
For fear that this All-Star Game will become a joke, LeBron James and Wu Dawei are the two best stars in the East District team, and they are direct competitors in the same position, which will make people feel a little worried about whether they can live in peace in the game that night.
Carey Nichols didn't expect things to turn out like this, and what he didn't expect was that what he said at noon turned into a fuse for the conflict in the afternoon, which made Carey Nichols feel a little caught off guard.
Because of the original intention, he just wanted to tease Wu Dawei, who he didn't like, but he didn't expect that the gap between Wu Dawei and LeBron James became deeper, and there was an irreconcilable contradiction.
Now both of them are standing at the forefront, and it seems that the contradiction is about to break out. Is this a lot of worry about the All-Star Game tonight?
Nichols did regret that he had said nonsense to the group of reporters with a big mouth, giving them room for imagination. Of course, he did not expect that when the reporter asked Wu Dawei, LeBron James would actually pass by at this time and even talk.
Such a series of accidents have led to the current situation. Nichols wanted to call Wu Dawei to apologize, because it was his nonsense that caused such an irreconcilable situation now. Wu Dawei must be very annoyed now. Just by watching the news on TV, Nichols was a little unable to speak.
He was so worried...
The person who was worried was Wu Dawei. As one of the parties involved in this incident, those who supported LeBron James opposed him all said that this was caused by his arrogance; it was originally supposed to be the first battle of the league with his own exclusive combat boots, which should have been a thing worth celebrating, but now I feel a little inexplicably irritated...
If you are not nervous about the game tonight, then Wu Dawei is definitely lying, but he feels that he shouldn't be nervous about anything. He is not worried that LeBron will embarrass himself in the game tonight, because if James is really so ignorant, then Wu Dawei will not have any concerns.
So in fact, Wu Dawei didn't know why he was a little nervous. Maybe it was because people were born with feelings about this kind of occasion.
At 5:30 pm, the stars who had just returned to the hotel for not long had once again caught the bus arranged by the league for them. This time they would go to the home court of the Orlando Magic, which is the venue of the 2012 All-Star Game, Amway Center Arena.
Wu Dawei met Dwight Howard on the bus. Although he lives in Orlando, he now comes to the hotel and takes the bus. He goes to the stadium with his teammates of the All-Star team.
Wu Dawei and Dwight Howard said hello and found a seat to take it. The bus was spacious so for a team with only 12 people, almost everyone could occupy a row of seats.
Wu Dawei came relatively late. At this time, most of the people in the team had already gotten in the car. Wu Dawei said hello to Dwight Howard, and also said hello to Joe Johnson and then went straight to find a seat to sit down. Although LeBron James was sitting next to the car door, the two of them almost didn't look at each other, and the car quickly fell into silence.
Head coach Byron Scott and his colleagues were the last group to get on the bus. When several coaches saw the atmosphere in the car, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
The bus left the hotel and headed towards the Amway Center Arena. The atmosphere in the car was still quite depressing. Until the bus drove into the underground parking lot of Amway Center, where countless reporters were holding microphone recorder cameras, waiting for a long time!
The reason why these reporters are fanatically blocking here is very simple, that is, they want to interview Wu Dawei and LeBron James. So, when James and Wu Dawei walked off the bus one after another, the reporters went crazy!
Everyone focused their eyes, focus and questions in their hearts at the two people walking at the front of the team and walking at the end of the team. The reporters were very busy at this time, and the one who was squeezed behind by the crowd went to interview Wu Dawei, and then ran to the front three steps to interview James...
Unfortunately, although the reporters are extremely enthusiastic about interviewing Wu Dawei and James, the star who got out of the car in front and behind was not interested in answering questions.
Even though the reporters drooled, Wu Dawei and LeBron James both lowered their heads and walked into the passage that was not allowed to follow without saying a word.
When Wu Dawei finally disappeared at the entrance of the passage, the reporters' disappointed expressions were beyond words, but they were still surprised. Because judging from the expressions of these two people, the gap between them was obviously quite large, and the contradictions must be irreconcilable!
So in the game tonight, what kind of game will these two people with such a big conflict play?
Many people are already excited to look forward to it...
In this world, loving to watch the fun has always been a bad habit of human beings. It is not just the Celestial Empire. The same is true for the American Empire.
Wu Dawei and James walked into the player passage one after another, and then walked into the locker room arranged by Amway Center for the Eastern Army. The two found their own seats and sat down. The staff obviously knew the conflict between the two, so the distance between their seats was also a hundred and eight thousand miles apart...
However, LeBron James had just sat down and had no time to change his clothes, but he was called out by a staff member who walked in from the door of the locker room. Everyone raised their heads in confusion as James walked out of the door of the locker room. Then, at the same time, most of them focused their attention on Wu Dawei, who was still indifferent in the locker room.
Not only in the outside world, but also in the team, Wu Dawei and LeBron James are also the focus of attention.
James went out for a long time, then returned to the locker room, and then, in full view of everyone, Wu Dawei, who had already changed his clothes and was eating, walked out slowly.
Wu Dawei didn't know what the reason why the staff asked him out, and he wouldn't ask LeBron James, so he walked straight out.
There was no one outside. Under the leadership of the staff, Wu Dawei walked into a sanitary room next door. Then he saw Mr. David Stern, the president of the alliance who was standing in the room and looking waiting for a long time.
"Hi. Long time no see, kid!"
Stern took the initiative to extend his hand to Wu Dawei and walked towards him with a smile. Wu Dawei didn't think much about it, but just held the old Jewish man's hand. He had no disgust towards Stern. Although he often encountered criticism from the outside world, in Wu Dawei's opinion, it was nothing important.
"Hello, Mr. Stern!"
"I'm very pleased to see that you can become stronger and stronger. It seems that there are successors in Chinese basketball!" Stern came up and praised Wu Dawei first, but Wu Dawei complained in his stomach: This way, it will be easier for you to make money in China...
"Ha. How do you say it, I have always been lucky!"
"No, no, no! This is not luck!" Wu Dawei said jokingly. Stern quickly interrupted him seriously and said, "This is the achievement you get from your hard work and hard work, and it is from your ability! This is not luck. Luck won't make you get up at 4 a.m. to train! You are an excellent player, low-key, hardworking and modest! You have things that many other players in the league don't have! All of this is exchanged for you with sweat, it's hard to come by, just like this game tonight!"
Here comes. Wu Dawei had a premonition that Stern was going to say something.
"You have proved with your strength and popularity that your efforts have finally reaped rewards! This is definitely the best reward for you. I am very happy to see you at such a feast, because you are not only the image spokesperson of the league's future, but also the signature of Chinese basketball! Your every word and action will affect countless people, so, I think you will play the most perfect game for the Eastern Conference All-Star team tonight! You understand what I mean, right? Child."
Scott tactfully expressed his concerns, and Wu Dawei nodded. The league president had already said this, what else could he say? Moreover, he had no idea of fighting James in this game.
At this time, I just acted as a way to go and sold the president to face. Maybe I can move the center foot when I make a layup in the future, and I can make a few four-step layups...
"Of course, I understand, Mr. President!"
"I knew you could understand, great, you are not only a great player, but also a very smart kid! I will cheer for you in this evening's game!"
Scott patted Wu Dawei on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go and prepare for the game tonight. The whole world is paying attention to you!"
Wu Dawei nodded, and then walked straight out of the room. He believed that David Stern must have said the same words to LeBron James just now, and the purpose was naturally self-evident. The league president was also very afraid that such a game that was broadcast live to the world would be messed up.
You should know that Stern has been committed to promoting the NBA to the whole world in the league, so he naturally does not want the two stars whom he has high hopes to smash their signatures in such a major game...
No matter what James thought, Wu Dawei never thought about doing anything ugly in this game tonight...
Wu Dawei returned to the locker room. As soon as he opened the door, he found that the head coaches had already entered the locker room. Byron Scott was talking to these stars. As soon as Wu Dawei came in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone's eyes showed curious eyes. Maybe everyone wanted to know from Wu Dawei what he had just gone out to do.
"Hey, Wu, were you called out to talk by David Stern? What did he say to you?"
Wu Dawei returned to the position where he was in. Next to him was the curious baby Dwight Howard, who immediately turned his head and asked with interest. However, Wu Dawei did not answer because he felt that this matter was not even necessary to discuss it. He just blinked at Howard, which made him extremely confused.
Head coach Scott did not talk about any tactics or tasks before the game. The All-Star Game was just an entertainment game after all. It is the most important thing to amuse the fans on the spot, so the head coach would not place any tactics to limit the players' performance.
Scott just talked about the things to be paid attention to tonight, then cheered the players and everyone walked out of the locker room. Although the atmosphere of the team was still a little depressing, it was already much better at this time.
The game is about to begin, and everyone's attention is naturally shifted from these personal grievances to the court. Tonight is the All-Star Game, which is under the gaze of hundreds of millions of fans around the world. Who doesn't want to show off in this game? (To be continued.
