"Sorry, sorry." Tang Shuai hurriedly took back his hand to apologize. He was accidentally called a hooligan by accident.

"Elena, it's you." Paul suddenly said with a smile.

When Tang Shuai heard Paul's words, he looked up and saw the woman in front of him knowing him. It was Elena Dorn who played the celebrity match last year and was amazed by him.

Dorn's face turned slightly red, and she seemed to be caught off guard by Tang Shuai's sudden "invasion".

"Cp3, long time no see." After Dorn came to his senses, he greeted Paul with a smile.

"I'll introduce you to me. This is my teammate Devin, this is Tang, I believe you should know him."

"Hey, Devin, hey, Don..." Dorn reached out to greet Booker and Don Shuai.

"Hey, I'm Tang, I'm sorry, I accidentally..." Tang Shuai said with a slightly red face.

"It's okay, I've known you a long time ago, but it seems that you are much shy than I thought." Dorn said with a smile. She had recovered from her senses. Compared to Tang Shuai, her American personality seemed much more relaxed.

Tang Shuai smiled embarrassedly.

"Elena, we are going to have a meal. Do you want to go together?" Paul said.

"Of course, but I'm going to call Candice. I'm here with her today." Dorn nodded and said.

Candice in Dorn's mouth is Candice Parker, and she is also a famous star in wnba. She participated in the competition as a member of the Western Conference today.

"Then we'll wait for you at the door." Paul said with a smile.

Dorn nodded, then walked quickly inside.

When Dorn left, Paul remembered that he hadn't seemed to have asked Tang Shuai's opinion yet. He said embarrassedly: "Tang, look at me, and when he saw his old friend, he forgot to ask about your opinion."

"It's okay, CP3, there are more people and it's more lively." Tang Shuai said, he still has a good impression of Dorn.

When Paul saw that Tang Shuai didn't mind, he didn't say much, and then talked about what he knew and Dorn.

After a while, Dorn came out with Parker. Parker was a typical black player, and his appearance was not comparable to Dorn. However, he hugged Paul and shook hands with Shuai Tang and Booker. He seemed to be the kind of person with a generous personality.

A few people left the stadium and then went to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Paul was there, and a few people were having fun eating, drinking and chatting.

Tang Shuai was also officially acquainted with Dorn and Parker. Unlike ordinary women, they are all playing basketball and they don’t say they are embarrassed to talk, and they soon become like old acquaintances.

After dinner, Tang Shuai and Donne parted ways. Before leaving, Parker took the initiative to add Tang Shuai's number and pulled Done to add it together.

After they separated, they each returned to the hotel.

On the 13th, Tang Shuai watched the game throughout the game and was a spectator for a day. However, on the 14th, he had to participate in three consecutive games, which was a big test for his physical strength. So after he went back, he took a shower, spoke to Su Mei on the phone, reported his itinerary, and then went to bed.

When he went to bed early and got up early, he felt that his whole mental state was quite full.

After washing up, he took his cell phone and prepared to take the car to the stadium. Unexpectedly, he saw a big news as soon as he took out his cell phone.

"Elena Dorn and Tang Shuai are dating after the game. Will the popular men's and women's basketball players become sweet couples?"

The headlines of the report were quite exciting, and a picture was posted. It happened that the two of them came out of the hotel, communicating their phone numbers and behaved intimately. The person who took the photo was very professional. He didn't take Paul and Booker in front, and even Parker standing beside him was dropped.

Seeing this news, Tang Shuai felt a big head, but fortunately, after he returned last night, he reported to Su Mei about the itinerary and mentioned Dorn and Parker, so there should be no problem.

He ignored this and then went to the stadium.

Curry, Westbrook and others arrived at the stadium early, and even Kobe and his wife sat there early.

After Tang Shuai went over, he greeted them.

"Tang, it depends on your performance today. Remember what you said yesterday." Kobe said to Tang Shuai at last.

Tang Shuai nodded, then went down to the venue to warm up.

On the 14th, there will be 3 games, namely the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest. The Skills Challenge was the Skills Challenge.

Not long after Tang Shuai warmed up, a staff member came to tell him that he was about to go on stage.

He was then taken into the player channel with others, and there was a player introduction ceremony before the game.

The Skills Challenge was reformed last year and was divided into large and small groups.

In the small group, Danny Schroeder from the Hawks, Emmanuel Mudier from the Nuggets and Thomas from the Celtics were on business trips with Shuai Tang, both of whom were well-skilled defenders, including Thomas, who was the champion of the small group last year.

"Gentlemen, ladies, let us welcome the contestants who participated in the Skills Challenge tonight, the first big group to appear, Al Horford!"

Amid the DJ's shouts on the scene, Horford was the first to appear from the player channel on the other side.

The Skills Challenge is not as entertaining as the Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Contest. Many of the people participating in this event have a combination of Tang Shuai, and Horford is one of them.

After Horford, Mudiat was also introduced to play. In order to avoid aesthetic fatigue, players from the big and small groups appeared in turn.

In terms of the big group, except Horford, the other three are Anthony Davis, Green and Towns.

Davis was the last person introduced to the big group. His appearance immediately caused crazy cheers from the fans on the scene. As the absolute core of the Pelicans, he enjoyed the highest popularity in this home game.

The finale of the little man was Tang Shuai. When DJ shouted his name on the scene, the audience on the scene made crazy shouts again, which seemed to be no less than Davis.

From the audience's reaction, we can see that Tang Shuai's popularity has reached a new peak in the league, at least in the West, and has made a qualitative leap compared to last year.

The first thing to start was the showdown between Green and Towns. Last year, the two met in the first round. This time they encountered each other again. I don’t know if the organizer was interested.

Although the skills challenge introduced a large group, the basic game still remains unchanged. The player first dribbled the ball past the obstacle, then passed the ball into the designated box, and finally returned to the dribble and shot a three-pointer. The faster time wins.

The whistle of the referee on the sidelines sounded, and Towns and Green ran forward. At the beginning of the dribble, Green was obviously faster, and the passing process was also in place. In fact, this is what he did for the Warriors.

He got to the three-point line first and shot a three-pointer first.

But maybe it was too anxious. The first three-pointer was a little stronger, and the fans at the scene jumped out of the basket.

At this time, Towns arrived.

The two men picked up three-pointers almost at the same time.

"Bang! Bang!"

With two consecutive sounds, the three-pointers of both of them bounced out.

The stars on the sidelines looked at them and couldn't help laughing. The best-looking guy in the big group is probably the three-pointer, and I don't know how many irons I have to hit in a row.

Green often shoots three-pointers in the Warriors and his shooting percentage is pretty good, but this does not mean that he can shoot the ball in the challenge.

"Swish!"

Finally, when he made the third move, Towns took the lead in making a three-pointer. After the shot, he waved his fist excitedly, and it was obvious that he was also a little excited.

Green smiled bitterly. Although it was a performance game, he felt a little uncomfortable when he lost to the same opponent twice in a row.

After the two hugged each other, they walked to the sidelines.

The next one was the small group, with Tang Shuai and Mudiay taking the lead.

As soon as Tang Shuai appeared on the stage, it immediately attracted a burst of cheers from the fans.

After playing, Tang Shuai picked up the ball and turned to look at Mudiat.

Mudie played in the Guangdong team for a year in the CBA. During the draft, he even had a Chinese flag embroidered on the inside of the suit, so Tang Shuai still has a good impression of him.

Moreover, this was the first round, and he didn't want to show too much, so when he picked up the ball, he had decided to retain his strength.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded on the sidelines, and Tang Shuai and Mudie took the ball and rushed forward directly.

As a former No. 1 favorite, Mudia's dribble and pass are his strengths. When he rushed out, he actually led Tang Shuai by half a position.

Tang Shuai did not sprint at full speed, but maintained this position.

Both Mudie and Tang Shuai were in place at one time. When the ball dribble returned to the starting point and shot three-pointers, Mudie got the chance to take the first shot.

Tang Shuai arrived later was slower, but he took action slowly.

"Bang!"

Mudiat's three-pointer jumped out of the basket. He fell from the No. 1 pick to the seventh pick. The main reason was that his shooting was unstable. Even if the CBA was unstable, it became more obvious after the Nuggets.

"Swish!"

Tang Shuai's three-pointer came first and accurately landed the bag.

His three-point shooting percentage ranks first in the league. If he can't hit one blow, it's not about retaining his strength, but about pretending.

Mudie smiled bitterly, walked over and hugged Tang Shuai for a while, and then the two walked to the sidelines together. They were talking and laughing when they were about to come. Obviously, their bond with China made them have no shortage of common topics.

Next were Davis and Horford. Davis appeared, and there was another burst of cheers on the scene.

Davis did not disappoint everyone, leading Horford throughout the whole process, and made the second three-pointer, successfully advanced to the final of the big group.

Tang Shuai had no reaction. The organizer did not arrange Green or Towns as Davis' opponent, obviously he had some considerations. He focused on the two small players who were going to play next. His opponent in the final of the small group will be one of them.

The game started soon, and Thomas took the lead, and the dribbling stage directly surpassed Schroder.

Tang Shuai's eyes were also lit up. Although he was short, Thomas's speed was really top-notch, and it might be much the same as him.
Chapter completed!
