Chapter 248 Warm Celebration

Zheng Ke is the second foreign champion MVP in NBA history. The first one is Tony Parker of the Spurs. He never thought that he would be treated like a hero when he comes back one day.

Zheng Ke's celebration route is BJ and Zheng Ke's own hometown CZ City. The duration is about seven days. Although Zheng Ke is a little tired physically, his heart is always in a state of excitement.In BJ, the local government held fan meetings for Zheng Ke. The venues were all in the local basketball arena. Before Zheng Ke entered, the voice of "MVP" was shouting in the arena. After Zheng Ke entered, even more Received a standing ovation from the audience.

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

The host at the scene spoke BJ's mandarin with a perfect accent. He is a bit like the DJ in the target center, and he knows how to stir up the atmosphere of the scene.He knew what the fans liked to watch, so he let Zheng Ke interact with the fans from time to time to keep the atmosphere in a warm state.

In addition to the interaction between Zheng Ke and the fans, there were also stars who came to sing songs. They were all stars who liked basketball, Hu Ge, the "black" Chen Jianzhou couple, Jay Chou, Luo Zhixiang, Huang Xiaoming and so on.Zheng Ke had only seen many stars on TV before and had never communicated with them, but now he was able to communicate with them at close range, which made Zheng Ke very excited, even more excited than seeing Hollywood superstars at 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 with Zheng Ke, there is also Wu You, a streetball expert from BJ. Although the Basketball Association won the first stop of Zheng Ke's return to China, the detailed rules for the arrangement of the event are completely handed over to Adidas. As the Chinese streetball community 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 he greeted Wu You enthusiastically as soon as he saw Wu You: "Hi, Wu You."

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

In basketball, what do fans like to watch the most, exquisite basketball coordination?An earth-shattering tomahawk dunk?Or a gorgeous change of direction?I’m afraid there are a little bit of both, but on the basketball court, what fans like to see most is the one-on-one between players. Whether Iverson singled out Jordan in the past, or Zheng Ke singled out Kobe later, they are all for the fans. Tao topic.

Wu You's presence was to meet the needs of BJ fans.

Amid the fans chanting "one-on-one", Zheng Ke and Wu You served the ball with a smile. At the top of the half-court three-point line, the two started the one-on-one show that had been arranged long ago.

This was an unfair one-on-one match. Zheng Ke felt like he was playing with a child. Although he didn't make any effort, he still easily blocked Wu You's first layup.

The audience immediately burst out laughing, all the fans who came here were fans of Zheng Ke, Wu You and Zheng Ke singled out, in their eyes, this was no different from courting death.

Zheng Ke's crotch dribble skillfully from the outside line, he can't see anything in the NBA against people of the same size, but now compared with a person with a relatively normal body, he immediately feels the horror of Zheng Ke, such a height, such a long Arm, dribble the ball under the crotch in front of you, and suddenly there is a feeling of being unable to start.

"Call~"

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

"Shh!"

As if in training, Zheng Ke made a shot without any pressure.The fans cheered immediately, they were full of joy to see the new MVP play live.

Zheng Ke adjusted his strength and released Wu You several times. This may be the first time in his life that he "fixed the match", but the effect was positive.

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

"Deduct one, deduct one!" I don't know who instigated it, the fans clamored for Zheng Ke to deduct one, and Zheng Ke had nowhere to smile helplessly.

Wu You stepped out of the way, Zheng Ke rushed inside, took three steps, switched his left hand to his right, kicked the ground and flew, caught the ball behind his head, rounded his arms, and then swung down suddenly!
"boom!"

Under Zheng Ke's tremendous force, the basketball hoop deformed violently, and the basketball hoop shook for a while, as if it was about to fall down at any moment, which made people sweat a lot.

Watching dunks on TV is different from seeing dunks on the spot. The lightning-like explosive force seemed to cut through the eyelids, giving people a huge visual impact. The cheers of "MVP" suddenly appeared in the arena again.

Zheng Ke easily won the duel, satisfying the taste of the audience.

This celebration in BJ attracted a large number of fans. Even ordinary tickets with a bad location are hard to find.And the many stars who came around added a lot of color to this celebration. The Basketball Association, Adidas, and the Timberwolves all showed their faces in this grand celebration, and they also ruthlessly contributed to the celebration. They each made a publicity campaign.

In comparison, the scale of celebrations for Zheng Ke's return to his hometown of CZ City is much smaller.

But Zheng Ke was flattered by the enthusiasm of his hometown people. What he saw in his eyes were the simple celebration banners of his hometown fans, and what he heard in his ears were all the familiar dialects of his hometown.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 the place where Zheng Ke grew up for the first time. She curiously inquired about Zheng Ke’s childhood in half-baked Chinese. She walked into Zheng Ke’s high school alma mater with Zheng Ke, and walked hand in hand with Zheng Ke On the playground where Zheng Ke once sweated.

At this time in June, the college entrance examination has ended, and the students in the first and second grades are still studying hard in the quiet summer night. Zheng Ke and Taylor are sitting back to back on the empty playground, looking up at the stars Dots of night sky, breathing the freshest air in the city, the soul has been 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. The Timberwolves will renew Randy Whitman with a 4-year contract of 1500 million US dollars. It is good news for both parties to be on top of the Timberwolves' chariot.Although the outside world has not received the news yet, McHale still notified Zheng Ke in advance.

Zheng Ke sent a short message to Whitman, congratulating his mentor on successfully renewing his contract.

Another piece of news about trading the No. [-] pick with the Wizards. The Wizards are willing to sell their No. [-] pick this year. The premise is that the Timberwolves must use Randy Foye and Mike Miller as bargaining chips. Very conflicted, on the one hand, if you have a fifth pick, you can pick a high-ranking rookie, on the other hand, losing two generals is inconsistent with all business strategies aimed at preserving the championship lineup.

So he asked Zheng Ke for advice.

"It's not necessary." Zheng Ke replied: "We don't lack outside players, but among the players participating in the draft this year, almost all of them are high-quality outside players. In exchange for the draft pick, it is better to exchange for outstanding inside players. If you have to trade, I think they have to get JaVale McGee."

"McGee?" McHale froze for a moment, quickly flipping through the player's information in his mind, and finally remembered who he was.

In terms of talent, McGee, who was drafted in 08, is an inside player with unlimited potential. His height, wingspan and jumping are all at the upper level of the NBA, and he also has excellent defensive awareness and blocking skills. Just another birdman.

Of course, his shortcomings are also obvious, such as too thin body, brainless performance on the court, easy to be fouled, etc. In short, if he is well trained, McGee is likely to be an All-Star player. Players may also be deserted.

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

Before Zheng Ke could react, McHale continued to send messages, "Recently, Randy Foye has offered a lot, and it may be that Foye's agent is operating. Maybe he thinks that Foye is too talented to be a substitute in the Timberwolves. , maybe the Timberwolves have too many outside players, which has compressed his playing time."

Zheng Ke fell silent after reading it.

Foye is definitely a rare champion. Although he struggled a little in the playoffs, he is still in the rising stage. He can break through with the ball, organize offense, shoot accurately and defend actively.He served as the team's sixth man during the regular season and performed very well.

But with the rise of Lowry, McMiller regained his touch, and Foye's playing time was repeatedly compressed. Although the team did not neglect him, he must feel uncomfortable. Zheng Ke felt that as the team leader, he really The very failure.Just after winning the championship, some players thought about leaving the team.

McHale didn't know what Zheng Ke was thinking, so he sent the third message on his own, "June 6 is the 25 draft, which will be 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."
