NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time, the second time.

Chapter 142: Public opinion on the locker room turmoil ferments

The stalemate in the locker room was eased by Carlisle’s mediation.

Of course, Carlisle, the head coach, was only a secondary reason.

The main reason was that Wang Song took the initiative to smile at James and showed his white gums: “Hello James, I am Wang Song, please give me more advice for our first cooperation!”

Wang Song didn’t know why James had such a big prejudice against him. He just led the Knicks to win two games against the Cavaliers in the regular season and blocked him a few times.

But this shouldn’t be so serious that he would worry about the All-Star Game, right?

As far as he knew, the Goat would be a broad-minded little emperor in the future, a man at the top of the league’s food chain.

He would be so fussy with a foreign player… No matter how you think about it, it’s not like James’ style!

However, Wang Song, who has lived two lives, still maintained enough tolerance for a high school student and took the initiative to shake hands and make peace.

From beginning to end, he never thought of forming cliques, but as soon as he entered the locker room, he saw James’s small group, and he had no choice but to communicate with the rookie who surrounded him in a friendly manner.

Perhaps he didn’t expect Wang Song’s reaction to be so frank.

After being stunned for three seconds, James stretched out his hand with a stunned expression on his face.

Seeing this happy situation, Carlisle quickly put his hand up and signaled other players to cheer together.

Except for Anthony who was a little reluctant, everyone else cooperated very well.

“Welcome, welcome to the All-Star Weekend. Today we will bring you the All-Star Rookie Game!”

“Today’s main attraction is the Huaxia Derby. Yao Ming’s first confrontation with Wang Song in the All-Star Game can be said to be a warm-up before the main game. The cooperation between the 03 stars is also very exciting.”

Accompanied by the voice of the CCTV commentator, the Rookie Game kicked off.

There were no accidents in the locker room during the game on the field. The rookie team did not hesitate when it was time to unite and face the outside world.

It is a game with some entertainment in itself. A temporary team cannot talk about tacit understanding. It is more about interpreting personal ability.

Wang Song scored a large double-double of 37 points and 18 rebounds in the whole game, but this performance could not hide the immaturity of the rookie team. In the end, the second-year team won the game with 130:110.

In addition to Wang Song, the rookie team also had a lot of people.

James scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Perhaps he was affected by the atmosphere in the locker room. He was more obsessed with scoring in this game, thus ruining the best scoring opportunity.

It was a pity that fans did not see the linkage between the No. 1 and No. 3 picks, but fortunately Wade organized well as a guard in this game, and frequently connected with Wang Song for dunks, showing a tacit understanding.

Anthony and James, the banana boat brothers, are indeed wearing the same pants. Melon also showed the meaning of “Lone Ranger” in the game, and only got 1 assist in the whole game.

On the other side.

The second-year team had 30 assists, and the atmosphere was obviously much better.

In the second-year team, Yao Ming’s performance was not so eye-catching, and he barely got 19 points and 10 rebounds.

The main reason for their victory was that the second-year rookies had a better cooperation, and they had been teammates last year and had a basic understanding, so they were more harmonious on the court.

Post-match interview.

Two beautiful figures sat on the sidelines and whispered.

“Why did he lose again?”

“What do you mean by again? What can he do if No. 23 doesn’t pass the ball to him? Besides, the Knicks are the team with the best record in the league, no doubt about it! I suggest that Angelina look at the tickets in your hand and touch your conscience to say it again.”

Scarlett couldn’t help but clasp her hands and pout when she heard Angelina’s voice.

Since watching the Lakers vs. New York battle last time, he has a superficial understanding of the NBA and learned that the Knicks are now a strong team in the NBA.

“Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing, okay!”

Angelina smiled and realized that it was a bit tasteless to complain about the sponsor.

In fact, what she wanted to express was that Wang Song played so hard but still lost the game. There were no players she was familiar with in this All-Star Rookie Game. The only one who looked more pleasing to the eye on the court was the Asian.

Before the main game, I’m afraid I have to support that guy with Scarlett.

She actually didn’t have much of a problem with Wang Song, but the media maliciously hyped up the scandal between them when they had dinner together last time.

She would not deliberately distance herself from her younger sister.

The next day.

New Fox Sports.

After a night of fermentation, various opinions have emerged in China about the All-Star Rookie Game that just ended.

In particular, an exclusive tip-off in a post caught the attention of fans.

“Sharp! Conflicts broke out in the locker room of the rookie team. The locker room full of factions is the fundamental reason why the rookie team cannot win!”

And this post is also accompanied by pictures and texts, which seem to be taken by a fan at the All-Star scene.

——【No way! James and Wang Song quarreled in the locker room? They are not in the same position and do not compete for playing time. What is there to quarrel about? 】

——【Is the above person idiotic or stupid? They are not in the same position but are rookies in the same class. And the most direct conflict is not the best rookie of this class. How could James, the strongest high school student on the surface, give up this title! 】

——【That’s true. Was Wang Song the winner or loser in the locker room? I heard that Asians are easily discriminated against in foreign sports competitions. Last year, Yao Ming talked about this issue in an interview. 】

——【Discrimination, who dares to discriminate against a player who has the strength of a top four center in his rookie season? If there is discrimination, it is Wang Song who took the lead in discriminating against James, although according to Wang Song’s personality, this is impossible. 】

······

This incident has caused a stir both at home and abroad. Some foreign media even analyzed the cause, process and result of the incident, and there were also photos of the two people’s reactions taken on the spot.

From Wang Song’s free and easy appearance on the court, it seems that this incident does not exist, but James’ frown in front of the camera seems to explain something.

However, in front of the three-point contest and dunk contest that followed, these small opinions passed in a flash.

This is the All-Star Weekend. The tight schedule and fancy performances allow fans to forget the unpleasantness outside the court.

The Knicks sent Nash to participate in the three-point contest.

When this news first came out, the outside world was a little bit unbelievable.

Because in the impression of fans and the media, Alan Houston is the top shooter of the Knicks.

But when they checked the three-point shooting percentage of this season, they realized that they had become impressionistic fans without knowing when.

Nash’s three-point shooting percentage is 2 points higher than Alan Houston!
