Chapter 113 Empty Window



When Xu Yong's name was called out, the entire stadium was filled with all kinds of people.

First, there was overwhelming cheers from the audience.

Controlling comments on social media only makes things appear to be under control, but the seeds of rebellion have already been planted in the hearts of fans.

The scores given by the preliminary judges made this seed take root and sprout quickly.

Xu Yong's wonderful dunks one after another were like fertilizer and water, allowing it to grow stronger and stronger until it became a towering tree at this moment.

It turns out that the voice of fans may be suppressed temporarily, but it will not be suppressed forever.

The stronger the suppression, the stronger the backlash.

On the commentary side, everyone, including Barkley who had previously supported James, was smiling.

No one is blind, their previous judgments were more based on the situation.

But the situation will be reversed.

And the media people will just go with the flow.

In the front row of the audience, All-Stars led by Kobe also stood up and applauded Xu Yong.

As fellow NBA players, they know best the value of the slam dunks completed by Xu Yong. He deserves the championship tonight.

Fox looked at Xu Yong with a strange look at this time.

She didn't know much about basketball, but her basic understanding of things was there.

If he had only seen the good side of Xu Yong's playing basketball in Los Angeles before, then tonight, he had witnessed the strong side of Xu Yong.

Soul-searching question: you don’t really think that those girls who watch basketball do so because they really like basketball, right?

Of course, the most attention-grabbing person at this time is still James.

Almost at the moment the host announced the result, the smile that James had forced out disappeared instantly.

In fact, when he spoke just now, he already knew that he might lose the championship.

But even though he had prepared himself mentally, when the actual result came, he found that he still couldn't accept it.

After all, he lost to Xu Yong, a rookie who not only successfully dunked over him, but also emphasized the incident in front of media reporters!

Since his debut, the Cavaliers have been supporting him, and the team will do their best to get him whatever he wants; the league also supports him, and his traveling rate is the lowest in the league, and sometimes the whistle is so off that he himself feels embarrassed; even sponsors like Nike are constantly putting pressure on media like ESPN to create a perfect personal image for him.

But now, he was actually stepped on by Xu Yong like this, in front of everyone.

This is like a person who is spoiled by his grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters. It is okay for him to be bullied by older children, but now he is actually bullied by younger people. He really can't get over it.

If it wasn't for the live broadcast on TV, he would be too conspicuous standing in the middle of the field and he would definitely be in the player tunnel in minutes.

After announcing the result, the host handed the championship trophy to Xu Yong.

Xu Yong raised the trophy amid everyone's cheers.

After he put down the trophy, the host handed him the microphone and asked him to give his acceptance speech.

"This was a wonderful dunk contest. Not only me, but also DeMar, LeBron, and Shannon, they all had wonderful performances, especially DeMar's windmill in the preliminaries and LeBron's dunk from the free throw line in the finals. They gave me pressure, and of course, motivation.

A great game requires a great opponent, and being able to give the fans a great dunk show is the most important thing."

Xu Yong did not say anything sarcastic, on the contrary, he spoke very sincerely.

And he doesn't mind praising James. After all, when you win, praising your opponent is almost the same as praising yourself.

In fact, when Xu Yong finished his acceptance speech, thunderous applause broke out at the scene.

Sincerity is always the greatest killer skill.

After Xu Yong finished his speech, James stared at Xu Yong for a moment, then turned around and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xu Yong, on the other hand, gave a tight hug to DeRozan who came over.

"Xu, can I touch your trophy?" DeRozan said with a smile after they separated.

Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, then handed the trophy to DeRozan.

"I will participate again next year." DeRozan touched the trophy and continued.

He originally wanted to compete with Xu Yong in the dunk contest, but was blocked from entering the finals like this. How could he be willing to accept this?

"If necessary, I can be your assistant next year." Xu Yong replied with a smile.

"You're not participating next year?" DeRozan heard the hidden meaning in Xu Yong's words.

Xu Yong nodded.

Although he likes dunking, he is not that keen on winning the dunk contest.

Firstly, the dunk contest champion is not a very meaningful honor. Winning it once is enough.

Secondly, and more importantly, participating in this kind of competition requires a lot of preparation time, which delays his training.

As for this participation, it was more to fulfill the agreement with DeRozan.

DeRozan felt a little sorry, but Xu Yong reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Next year, Blake Griffin should participate in the competition, come on."

DeRozan immediately perked up after hearing that. Griffin is also quite explosive in the dunking world. Although he has no chance to participate this season due to being ruled out, he will most likely participate next year.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." At this moment, DeRozan suddenly spoke.

Xu Yong looked confused.

"Hi." Until a familiar voice came from behind.

He turned around and saw Fox with a smile on his face.

Still wearing Xu Yong's jersey, she had a rosy face and looked very charming.

"Do you have time tonight?" Fox said with a smile.

Xu Yong nodded.

In the suite on the top floor of the hotel, Xu Yong sat on the head of the bed, smoking a cigar, while Fox lay in his arms, drawing circles on his pectoral muscles with his fingers.

After coming out of the stadium, the two went to the carnival.

After they finished shopping, they went out for a ride in their sports car.

When Fox returned to the hotel, she took the initiative to kiss Xu Yong on the cheek and said goodbye. After getting out of the car, she invited Xu Yong to sit upstairs.

Xu Yong did not refuse this time. The dunk contest was over and his goal of the All-Star Game had been achieved.

As soon as the door to the upper floor opened, Fox launched an attack on him.

Xu Yong felt quite comfortable at this time.

"You are much better than Brian." Fox stopped what he was doing, seemed to have recovered some strength, and leaned towards Xu Yong again.

"Your ex-boyfriend?" Xu Yong asked.

In his previous life, he was in his thirties and psychologically was no longer as pure as his current body.

He didn't say that he wanted to date her just because he played poker with her. You have to know that she is a Hollywood actress.

You don’t really think that real-life actresses are as innocent as those described by that rookie author Rouminda Eggplant, do you?

It's a consensual thing, just a momentary pleasure.

At this time, Fox moved his body and put his bare back in front of Xu Yong.

Only then did Xu Yong discover that there were words tattooed on it.

Brian Austin Green.

This should be the Brian that Fox was talking about.

He hadn't really noticed that Fox was wearing clothes when he was riding before.

It seems that this is not just an ex-boyfriend, but also the one she has been in love with for many years.

It seemed that he could understand why Fox was so proactive.

Q: When is a woman most likely to be taken down?

A: When she had just broken up with her boyfriend of many years.

This is actually the so-called window period. Otherwise, why do so many men find out that their ex-girlfriends are in love again not long after breaking up with them?

Excluding some of those who were cheated, this is the case most of the time.

Of course, European and American actresses are more open in this regard and can play poker without being in a relationship.

After realizing this, Xu Yong looked at the name tattooed on his back and suddenly became interested again.

In the All-Star Game, Xu Yong played for 14 minutes, contributed 10 points and 4 rebounds, and also showed off two dunks. He was still able to participate a little.

The final MVP is interesting though.

The Eastern team won 141 to 139, and the MVP went to the Eastern team.

James took a team-high 22 shots, but only made 10 of them, and finally scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Wade took 16 shots, made 12 of them, and scored 28 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists.

The MVP naturally went to Wade in the end.

This wave was so unclear that even the All-Star Game couldn't play it, so it's really useless even if we give them a chance.

Following the previous dunk contest, James lost the MVP again, which can be regarded as a wave of "good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone".

After the All-Star Game, Xu Yong parted ways with DeRozan and others and returned to Chicago with Noah Ross.

The All-Star Game is a watershed moment in the season. The first half of the season sets the tone for the game, while the second half executes the tone.

Teams like the Knicks, Timberwolves, Kings, and Warriors, which had a slump last season, are about to continue to slump again this season.

The Bulls' focus in the first half of the season was the playoffs, so their focus in the second half will naturally be on improving the rankings.

However, there is a very critical time node after the All-Star Game, which is the annual trading deadline.
