i'm really an insider

第140章 137：傲慢的03，严肃的04（4.5K求票票）

Okafor watched Wayne, who had become an All-Star starter, walking towards him, and deliberately turned his head away.

I really don't want to see that face!

Because seeing Wayne's face made Okafor feel uncomfortable, surrounded by a wave of frustration.

I thought that after entering the NBA, I would be able to avenge my shame, regain what I lost in the NCAA, and make up for my imperfect youth.

Who knew that after entering the NBA, the gap between the two would become wider and wider!

Now not only the past youth is not perfect, but even the future seems not so perfect.

Seeing that Wayne has become an All-Star starter and firmly occupies the first place in the rookie rankings, Okafor is heartbroken.

Why, there happened to be a Wayne.

Without Wayne, would anyone in the class of 04 be stronger than me?

"Emeka, are you still angry? Why? It's not that I didn't let you start the All-Stars." Wayne doesn't want to argue with Okafor now, he needs to unite all the forces that can be united.

So, for the first time ever, Wayne spoke to Okafor in a normal tone.

"Hmph, you can humiliate me as much as you want, Wei." Okafor smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You all-stars are so interesting, you always like to talk to your opponents before games."

"I'm not like you, I don't pay much attention to the identity of the All-Star starter."

"Hmph, what does this mean? Come and talk to me."

"Come and give you a chance."

"what chance?"

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to do something with you, we will be famous together."

"Okay, go tell the general manager of the Bobcats and see if he will let you do something with me." Okafor waved his hand and was about to walk away when Wayne yelled again.

"MVP of the rookie game, don't say you don't want it."

Sure enough, Okafor, who had his back to Wayne, stopped at this moment.

Rookie Game MVP, right now, this is the honor he is most likely to grab from Wayne.

It's also his best chance to avoid going nowhere in his rookie season.

"I want it, don't you want it?" Okafor turned around and looked at Wayne, his expression still serious.

"Of course I want it, but there is someone who wants it more than us - Carmelo Anthony. If the second-year team wins, you and I, neither of us will get the rookie game MVP trophy."

"Do you want me to join forces with you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't join forces, if you think you can handle the 03 generation alone, then you can play freely.

I'm here to tell you this, no matter what, we have to win the game before we have a chance to win the MVP.If we lose, we are all losers, think about it for yourself. "

This time, it was Wayne who turned around and left first, leaving Okafor alone in place.

Wayne was still a little worried, whether his tone might be a bit too pretentious.

Or, tell Okafor again?

"Wei!" As a result, Okafor yelled Wayne's name.

"Huh?" Wayne didn't look back, he was afraid that Okafor would see his smiling face!

"Just once, I will join forces with you once. But let me say it first, I will not lose any data that should be obtained, and I am going for the MVP."

"Hmm." Wayne replied simply, showing his demeanor.

In fact, his face has become a dragon mother with a smile.

Iguodala, Harris, Tony, Yoo Dahawk, Sparks, Okafor and himself, all Dragon Balls!

Now, Wayne can wish to defeat the 03 super platinum generation.

At this time, the entire rookie team was only left with the Bulls' British combination, and Jefferson and Udri of the Spurs were not recruited.

But in a situation where most people want to play seriously, will they not follow the crowd?

Wayne believes that the 04 class can barely squeeze into a fist and hit the 03rd class hard in the face!

Can't last halftime?I'll let you melon see what gold lasts!

Then in this game, Wayne and Okafor scored 20 points and 7 rebounds and 16 points and 11 rebounds respectively.

The strongest duo of the 04 session brought another wonderful duel to the fans.

Both of them showed their attitudes today, which can be regarded as expressing their attitudes to each other before the rookie game.

They just said to each other: "Hey, don't hold back when the time comes, you bastard."

Although reluctantly, Okafor became one of Wayne's Pokémon.

Without knowing it in 03, their opponents have become stronger.

Guagua still wants to make a big splash in Denver, but this time, this melon may not be sweet.

In their last three games after playing the Bobcats, the Pacers are 2-1 going into the All-Star break.

On February 2th, although the red team was avenged by the MM combination, the winning streak was broken.

But after playing against the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers, the Pacers won both.

So far, the Pacers' record before the All-Star Game is fixed at 35 wins and 16 losses, second only to the Heat with Shaq and Wade, ranking second in the Eastern Conference!

It can be said that the speed of this counterattack is quite terrifying.

I think the Pacers had fallen to the edge of the top eight when Xiao Ao and the others just came back from the suspension.

It didn't take long before he returned to the top three position.

The Pacers this season are indeed very competitive!

Although the record is not bad, Wayne's 55-win mission is not [-]% safe.

After the All-Star break, the Pacers have 31 games left to play. Among the 31 games, the Pacers must win at least 20 of them, and the task of 55 wins can be completed with the minimum requirements.

After the All-Star Game, the regular season will enter a sprint mode with relatively more intense confrontation. Each team will give it a go for the final ranking and playoff spot, and it will become more difficult to knock down the opponent.

So it can't be said that it is particularly difficult to win 31 games in 20 games, but it does take some effort to do it.

Even if you are unlucky and lose one more game, Wayne's attractive rewards will all be wasted.

In the sprint stage after the All-Star Game, we still can't relax.

However, there is still a higher priority task waiting for Wayne.

Before the sprint for the last 31 games, let's enjoy the lively Denver All-Star Weekend!

※※※

NBA All-Star weekend, for the fans, this is a star-studded carnival.

For the players, this is basically a small vacation in the tense season.

Everyone can put down their tired bodies for a while, and don't worry about whether they will play an away game tomorrow night.

Rest well until the end of the weekend.

Well, at least for most players.

But for Wayne, the All-Star Weekend is the same as usual.

Maybe even more tired than usual!

"Why did you get up so early." Wayne looked at the bright sky, wanting to cry.

You call it a weekend?

"Did you forget? You have several commercials to shoot this morning. You will participate in the public training before the rookie game at noon, you will accept several media interviews in the afternoon, and you will attend NBA charity activities in the evening."

Beside Wayne, a little assistant wearing glasses briefly explained Wayne's schedule for today.

Since Schwartz was busy with other things, he couldn't do it himself.So during the All-Star Game, he had to send Wayne a player assistant from the company.

Wayne was afraid that the female assistant would be too wordy, so he chose a male one on purpose.

Well, I'm obviously not that desperate, but now that you say this, I'm even more desperate.

It really echoed what Wayne himself said: "Keep at it, and you will find that there are even more desperate ones."

After washing his face, Wayne got into the special car and started his busy day.

The fans were reveling, the streets were full of posters for the All-Star game, and there were people wearing all kinds of jerseys.

Everyone's faces were full of excitement, and everyone enjoyed this annual basketball feast.

But Wayne didn't even feel relaxed at all.

When they arrived at the commercial shooting site, they posed one after another according to the photographer's requirements, and took one photo after another that was completely indistinguishable from Wayne's view.

Last time, there was Ronaldo who could chat, but this time there is no one to talk to, it's really boring.

After the commercial was finally filmed, Wayne was sent to the public training site of the rookie game without stopping.

It is said to be public training, but this training is not that training.

The public training before the All-Star Game, in simple terms, is an activity where reporters enter the training ground to interview players, and this activity and training are actually not related to half a dime.

In this kind of training, no one will really practice the ball, and no coach will really tell the players to run tactics.

Everyone just take a few balls and play casually on the court.

All-Star game, still need tactics?

All the strongest people present, so anyone can give the ball!

If ESPN were to hold a poll for "The Most Unnecessary Character in the All-Star Game," the coach would surely be at the top of the list.

Well, they're not even as attractive as the pop stars and cheerleaders at the pregame show.

So, the first-year team coach PJ Carlesimo basically said hello to everyone, and then he couldn't see others.

When Wayne walked into the training hall, everyone in the class of 04 stopped and all eyes fell on him.

It's as if a group of younger brothers eager to fight finally saw their big brother.

"Wei, why did you come here!" Okafor was the first to come up, serious, as if he was about to fight with the 03 class.

"Sorry, All-Star Weekend, you know, there's a bit of a traffic jam." Wayne waved his hand apologetically.

"Traffic jam? What car are you in?"

"Huh? Mercedes."

"Oh, that's fine."

Wayne walked into the crowd and glanced at the 03 class who were talking and laughing in the other half.

Just laugh, you won't be able to laugh tomorrow night.

Seeing all the players in the 04 class unconsciously leaning towards Wayne, the Bulls' British combination looked bewildered.

Are we missing something?

Then, just as Wayne had expected before, those players whom he hadn't had time to breathe, also moved towards Wayne under the drive of herd mentality.

"So, everyone here knows what we're going to do tomorrow, right?" Wayne found a vacant seat on the bench and sat down. Beside him, there was a circle of heroes from the class of 04.

There is always a meeting!

Wayne also took a special look at the British group, and saw that they also nodded along with everyone: "Yes, I know."

"Then, let's first establish the division of labor for tomorrow. According to the official list given before, tomorrow's starters will be Dwight, Emeka, me, Gordon and Devin. Cough, Tony, give me a tactical board."

"Oh, here it is." Tony Allen held a tactical board and handed it to Wayne. The whole process of being summoned was very natural.

From fan to fan.

Wayne opened the pen cap, wrote on the tactical board, and began to explain the specific plan for tomorrow.

Guagua on the other end looked at Zhi Le: "What are those guys doing? Discussing tactics? Why did Wei use a tactical board to write and draw? Did he get his position wrong?"

"This is the All-Star Game after all, and it's normal for them to want to pose for a photo in front of the reporters." Wade smiled with puffed cheeks.

Oh, and his cheeks don't need drumming.

"LeBron, don't let the water go too far in the first half of tomorrow. Don't dig too much." Anthony looked back at this moment, and looked at James who proposed to play casually in the first half of tomorrow.

"No, no, as long as I watch Wei Wei in the second half, the first-year team can't win. Don't worry, Cameron, your rookie game MVP is decided, as I said." Akron's son replied easily.

Wade: Moose is right.

Looking at the crouching dragon and phoenix chick beside him, Guagua nodded in satisfaction.

Very well, it is to have this kind of self-confidence.From this point of view, you can attend the banquet with peace of mind tonight.

Hey, being the host, being Denver's unofficial ambassador, entertaining friends from all corners of the country, can be a hectic job.

If only I were as relaxed as the first-year players.

During the subsequent interview with the reporter, it was obvious that the 03 super-platinum generation was more popular.

There is one thing to say, the four strongest players in the 03 class are not at the same level as the 04 class.

In an interview, the players of the 03 class also had some arrogance in their mouths.

"LeBron, when are you going to be in the dunk contest?"

"The timing is not yet ripe, I want to participate in the dunk contest when I am in perfect physical condition."

"So, are you really going to give your all in tomorrow's rookie game?"

"Of course, as Cameron said, we will play a real game."

On the other hand, Wade is also the favorite of the reporters: "Do you rate Wade's first half of the season? I give 9 points. He is great, but he is still close to perfect, hahaha."

"Who do you think will be the biggest threat in the rookie competition tomorrow?"

"Honestly, I don't think it's a threat. We're just going to win, and when we're all together, we can't lose."

As for the 04 class, the smiles are obviously much less than those of the 03 class.

Many people thought that the 04 class was because of nervousness, but in fact, it was because they all became serious.

"Wei, you will make your career debut in the All-Star Game tomorrow. Will you be nervous in the face of the super strong class of 03? After all, they said, they will try their best to play a game full of confrontation."

"Nervous? No, no, no, they have fought for a year longer than us, that's all. Confrontation? No one is afraid of real confrontation." Wayne is old and proficient, and it can be said that he has fully implemented the phrase "strategic despise of the enemy".

"Hahaha, you are very confident. So what do you think is the key to your victory tomorrow? Is it you or Okafor?"

"Neither, I think the key to our victory is Josh's mid-range shot."

"Uh..." The reporter applauded secretly in his heart, it's beautiful!

Nima, you black and black couple, the 03 class and Josh let you do it all by yourself.

"Last question, Wayne. If you had to pick a rookie MVP, who would it be?"

"I'll pick Tony."

"Tony? Interesting answer, can you tell me why?"

"There's no reason, anyway, it's fine if it's not the class of 03."

After the players in the 03 class pretended to beep for so long, Wayne finally gave his first counterattack.

Of course, everyone in the 03 class didn't really care too much about what to do in the evening.

Anyway, tomorrow's game, in their opinion, is still the same sentence, it will end at halftime.

And that night, Wayne lay down early to rest to recharge his batteries for tomorrow night's game.

He has already said everything that needs to be said this afternoon. Whether he can overturn the 03 class depends on everyone's impromptu performance tomorrow.

This rookie game rebellion that Wayne has planned for a long time is about to break out.

At this time, only Tony Allen was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"Hey, Wei really is still my best brother, he hasn't changed his mind!"

Well, Wayne casually said that Tony would be the MVP, which made the Celtics rookie very happy.
