Chapter 234 Rookie MVP
Strong talent is not enough to close the gap in strength, not just in basketball, but in all walks of life.
With the performance of Jabari Parker, the American United team once narrowed the point difference to less than ten points, but every time the score was approaching, the International United team would score key goals.
When the final whistle sounded, Xu Tian's international team beat the US team with a score of 155-141 without any suspense.
NBA President Adam Silver came to the scene, his bald head illuminated by gorgeous lights seemed to reflect a bright light.There was an incomprehensible smile on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.
Benz sponsors the rookie challenge and will provide a fully automatic continuously variable transmission luxury car to the most valuable player of the event.Such a real reward is more attractive than the title of the most valuable player.
Adam Silver confirmed the ownership of the Most Valuable Player, and took the microphone to stand in front of the International League players standing in a row.The first thing to do is naturally to thank the sponsors and enthusiastic fans at the scene, and then praise these young players for their excellent talents and the future of the league.
Curry and Klay Thompson had personal matters to attend to and had already left the Air Canada Center.
After all, Kobe and George are Xu Tian's teammates. Even if they feel bored, they have to wait until the awards are over before leaving the stadium.
Adam Silver talked for a long time, and finally turned to the topic, saying: "The MVP of the 2016 All-Star Rookie Challenge belongs to guard Xu Tian from the Los Angeles Lakers!"
Fans at the Air Canada Center Arena were already prepared and spontaneously sent warm applause and cheers to express their love for this powerful new star.
转播媒体在镜头下方，显示出了徐天本场比赛的基础数据。他上场28分钟，投篮17-22，三分5-7，砍下了39分5篮板5助攻的数据。
Adam Silver handed over the rookie game MVP trophy to Xu Tian.
Xu Tian took the trophy, raised it high with both hands, and stopped the action to accept the cheers from the fans again.
The on-site host of the Air Canada Center Arena was a black man with a cropped cut and a wired microphone in his hand. After Xu Tian showed off the rookie match MVP trophy, he walked quickly to his side and started the interview.
"Xu, this should be the first honor you have received since entering the league. What do you think of this honor?"
Xu Tian held the MVP trophy of the Rookie Competition to his chest with both hands, and said in a good mood: "Actually, this is not my first honor, but being able to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge is undoubtedly an affirmation of my performance tonight."
"What was your first honor?"
"Summer League Champion." Xu Tian replied naturally, "Of course there is also the Summer League MVP."
"Man, I actually forgot about this." The host said in a humorous tone, smiling that Xu Tian probably didn't want to talk about it, "I thought you didn't want to admit any honor you got in the Rockets, at least That’s how it looks from the outside.”
"No. I have nothing to do with the Rockets. That deal is just a business. We all know how to deal with it." Xu Tian already knows how to answer such questions through frequent games with the media.
"There is no need to revisit the past on this wonderful night." The host realized that the atmosphere on the scene was getting low, so he changed the subject and asked, "Tomorrow you will participate in the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest, why don't you even join the Slam Dunk Contest? Did you also participate?"
Xu Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "Although I can contribute dunks every game, it is still a bit difficult for me to make a move that is enough to compete for the dunk king. If I am not sure, I will not try it lightly. Maybe you can ask Andrew, see why he doesn't participate in the dunk contest."
Wiggins didn't think he would be mentioned again, and he was not prepared in advance, so he responded wittily with a bright smile.
The host simply teased Wiggins for a few words, and quickly brought the topic back, asking: "You said you don't like doing things you are not sure about, how sure are you that you will win the championship in the skill challenge and three-point contest?" Woolen cloth?"
"I don't know." Xu Tian changed to holding the trophy with one hand, "There are many big men in the skills challenge, but they all have good basketball skills, and no one can ignore them. The three-point contest has Stephen Curry and Ke Ray Thompson, too, is full of unknowns."
"Didn't you just say not to do things you're not sure about?"
"The three-point contest has the possibility of competing for the three-point champion, but the slam dunk contest really doesn't belong to me."
"Okay!" The host had more important things to ask, ended the topic about tomorrow's game, and then asked, "The day after tomorrow is the All-Star game, and you, a rookie, were elected as the All-Star starter. What does it feel like?"
"I can be selected as the All-Star starter. The first thing I think of is to thank. I thank the fans who voted for me, and thank my teammates for giving me the opportunity."
"Do you have any special feelings about being teammates with James Harden again?"
"James was selected to the All-Star lineup as a substitute, which is unbelievable for his strength. But since we both start and substitute, relatively speaking, the chance of sharing the same stage is not great."
"You recognize James Harden's strength, but you don't want to be teammates with him anymore. Can I understand that?" the host asked tentatively.
"Obviously. A lot of people will say nice things and think it's all business, and what a player has to do is to control what he can control, which is to play hard. But I don't think so, players should have the right to express their true self."
"Is the conflict between you and James Harden real?"
Xu Tian shook his head and said: "There is no conflict between the two of us. James Harden is the star of the Rockets, and I want to pursue a core position. This idea is not in line with the team's strategy. It is very difficult to be sent to another place." Common things. But, I don't want to recall them."
"The topic is a bit off course," the host ended the topic in a timely manner, and then asked Xu Tiandao, "The Western All-Star lineup has Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, and the Eastern All-Star lineup has LeBron James. What do you think? The strength of the side is stronger?"
"The strength of a team can't just be judged by the lineup on paper. You can only know it after playing the game." Xu Tian lost his arrogance as a newcomer. "Which side can win the game, the strength of the side will be stronger."
"Is LeBron James the strongest challenge?"
"From a team point of view, the strongest challenges are the San Antonio Spurs, Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder, and from a player point of view, LeBron James is the biggest challenge in my opinion."
"Are you confident that you can defeat him?"
Xu Tian smiled lightly, but did not answer the question directly.
