Chapter 368 Slam Dunk Contest Roster
Chapter 368 Slam Dunk Contest Roster
"You haven't been here for several days."
Chu Xue made way for Wang Xiucheng and let him into the house, but she looked at him with her eyes fixed on him, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
Chu Yu was a little unhappy, pouting and not saying a word.
Wang Xiucheng helplessly pulled the two aside, "I have to play matches, I also have to settle some debts owed by Fertitta, and there are some contracts to sign..."
As the sisters listened, the resentment on their faces gradually melted away.
In their eyes, Wang Xiucheng was simply perfect.
Young, handsome, rich, and gentle!
It couldn't be more perfect.
"We bought a new outfit, Brother Wang, wait a moment."
With that, the two sisters hurriedly went inside.
Wang Xiucheng sat on the sofa with a smile.
Of all the older sisters I know, these two sisters are the only two younger sisters.
And this is the first time...
To say that they have a slight preference would be a lie.
But keeping them at home all the time isn't a good idea.
Fortunately, they will soon be able to buy some shares of the Nets and become a minority shareholder.
When the time comes, let these two sisters join the management team of Barclays Center and do whatever they want; it'll count as a job.
Most importantly, working at the Barclays Center means being right under my nose, so I don't have to worry about anything going wrong.
Just then, the door opened, and two people dressed in see-through outfits appeared in the doorway.
This...who can withstand this...?
Seeing the two beautiful women with their heads bowed, Wang Xiucheng stood up and went inside...
……
The Salt Lake City All-Star Weekend is getting closer.
The very next morning, the league updated and announced the All-Star Game reserve roster, which was personally finalized by Adam Silver.
They also replaced four players who were unable to participate due to injuries.
These four players include Durant, Wang Xiucheng, Curry, and Zion.
Edwards, Siakam, Fox, and Randle have been promoted to All-Star reserves!
This news caused a huge reaction as soon as it was released.
Everyone already knew that Durant, Curry, and Zion were injured.
After all, these people had rested for quite some time.
But when did Wang Xiucheng get injured?
He was still playing a game full of energy yesterday.
And it wasn't just any ordinary match; it was the New York Derby.
And he scored 41 points and had 10 assists. Where is he injured?
Reporters such as Woj and Shams quickly followed up with their reports on the matter.
The article explains that Wang Xiucheng decided not to participate in the All-Star Weekend not because of injury, but because of personal reasons.
The good news is that Wang Xiucheng has agreed to participate in the dunk contest.
This news instantly ignited the American sports community and the internet.
Unlike previous years when the Slam Dunk Contest roster was announced early, this year, even with the All-Star Game already underway, the league has not yet announced the roster.
Everyone was speculating whether no one was willing to participate because of Wang Xiucheng.
With Wang Xiucheng there, everyone else is just there to make up the numbers.
But after reports from Woj and Shams, everyone learned that it turned out Wang Xiucheng didn't want to participate.
The alliance has not announced the roster yet because it has been trying to win over Wang Xiucheng.
After all, last year's Slam Dunk Contest was such a success, if it were to suddenly flop this year, the league simply couldn't accept it.
What will happen to our image if the All-Star ratings, which have just started to pick up, collapse all at once?
What about viewership ratings?
What about the money?
Less than two hours after Woj and other reporters published their articles, the league finally released the list of participants for this year's All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest.
Trevor Murphy from the Pelicans, Sims from the Knicks, Mark McLoughlin from the Delaware Blue Shirts in the G League, and Wang Xiucheng from the Nets.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Trevor Murphy and Sims are just there to make up the numbers.
The real protagonists are McCroon and Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng goes without saying; he was last year's dunk contest champion, and the title was won without any suspense.
Mark McLong is a well-known dunker in the community, having participated in various amateur dunk contests and won numerous awards.
But he had an NBA dream, so he ultimately tried to make it in the NBA.
He just kept moving around to different teams in the league, without any good development.
Last October, McCronn signed a non-guaranteed contract with Philadelphia, but was laid off in less than three days.
Subsequently, Philadelphia's G League team signed McCronn.
Everyone knows that McCollum doesn't have the ability to play in the NBA, but he stayed in the NBA just to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest.
Of course, McLong will also represent the Development League in the Rising Stars Challenge this year.
Everyone was hoping that McCollum could give Wang Xiucheng some trouble in the dunk contest and prevent him from winning the championship as easily as last year.
Interestingly, less than two hours after the league released the Slam Dunk Contest roster, Philadelphia signed McCollum to a formal contract.
This means that McLonger will be wearing a Philadelphia 76ers jersey during the Slam Dunk Contest.
Philadelphia, you old bastard!
……
2 month 15 day.
The Nets will continue to host the Heat at home.
This is also the last game between the two teams before the All-Star Weekend.
After this match, most of the people from both teams, including the staff, will begin a short vacation.
So both the Nets and the Heat want to start their vacation with a victory.
In competitive sports, there can only be one winner.
The Barclays Center was still dazzling tonight.
There were still quite a few celebrities sitting on the sidelines, some of whom are regulars, such as Scarlett Johansson and Cody Garfield, as well as Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
But most of them were people Wang Xiucheng didn't recognize, and the majority of them were models of various skin colors.
But today, in the front row, there are two people with Chinese faces who are people Wang Xiucheng knows.
One was his close friend Deng Ziqi, and the other was JJ Lin Junjie, whom he was meeting for the first time but who could also sing his songs.
When Wang Xiucheng was warming up, he made a point of coming over to greet the two of them.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Wang Xiucheng first bent down and hugged Deng Ziqi.
In the moment of their embrace, Wang Xiucheng whispered in Deng Ziqi's ear, "I missed you so much."
The warm breeze and sweet words that Wang Xiucheng blew into her ears made Deng Ziqi's face turn red immediately.
Fortunately, the two separated quickly.
Wang Xiucheng then looked at Lin Junjie beside him, "I'm your fan, a thousand years from now... cough cough..."
Wang Xiucheng himself felt that his singing was terrible, so he coughed lightly in embarrassment.
Lin Junjie quickly reached out and shook hands with Wang Xiucheng, saying, "I'm a fan of yours. I watched you play when you were with the Rockets."
Wang Xiucheng didn't know if Lin Junjie was really a fan of his, but it was normal for the two to praise each other.
"I'm having a concert here tomorrow night, can you come and watch?"
As Lin Junjie spoke, he pulled three tickets out of his pocket.
"That's great, it's an honor." Wang Xiucheng happily put the ticket away.
"I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to warm up first." Wang Xiucheng said goodbye to the two, glanced at Deng Ziqi's face, turned around and handed the ticket to a security guard not far away, telling him to keep it safe.
Looking at Wang Xiucheng's tall back, Deng Ziqi sat down and gently covered her slightly flushed cheeks with her hands.
She felt she was becoming increasingly powerless against Wang Xiucheng.
If she doesn't call Wang Xiucheng one day, she can't even sleep at night.
Deng Ziqi volunteered to be a guest at Lin Junjie's New York concert, just so she could come to New York.
If Deng Ziqi were to suddenly arrive in New York without any scheduled events, it would always spark speculation among fans and gossip media.
But being a guest at a concert is the most legitimate reason.
