Chapter 366: Two Consecutive All-Star MVPs

"Congratulations."

As soon as the game ended, James came over to congratulate Wade Dong and asked, "How did you do that sudden stop and change of direction at the end?"

In the final play, Wade Dong had already started his drive, yet he still managed to execute a sudden stop and a behind-the-back dribble.

This play wasn't impossible for other players, but they didn't have the knees to do it. Even if they could, they wouldn't have the knees to withstand the impact. Wade Dong's play was so intense that even ten pairs of knees wouldn't be enough.

The best example might be Derrick Rose, who had already been injured twice this season, which was closely related to his style of play.

Wade Dong patted James on the back and encouraged him, "As long as you want to, you can do it too!"

This style of play was almost irreversible in terms of knee damage, and very few players in the league dared to play like this. However, Wade Dong had the 'recovery potion', so he wasn't afraid!

As Wade Dong gained more talents, he would occasionally use a bottle of 'recovery potion' on himself when he felt a little unwell. After all, this potion had no side effects, and it was like washing away the dirt for a healthier body.

The 2014 All-Star Game was essentially over.

In the final All-Star MVP voting, Wade Dong was unanimously chosen as the All-Star MVP again.

...

After the All-Star Game.

Huang Yu found Wade Dong and asked, "Isn't your sister-in-law here today?"

"No, she's in China."

Wade Dong frowned, "Do you have something to ask Jiajia?"

Huang Yu was a bit inconsiderate, as he should have asked about Wade Dong's sister-in-law first.

"No, no."

Huang Yu waved his hands, explaining, "My girlfriend wants to invite you to dinner, so I asked if your sister-in-law was here so we could invite her too."

Wade Dong turned to look at Huang Yu's girlfriend and politely declined, "I have something to do later, so tell your girlfriend we can do it another day."

"Okay..."

Huang Yu didn't insist when Wade Dong said he had something to do.

Just then, James walked over with his son in his arms, accompanied by Savannah.

"Dong, we're going to have some Chinese food. Want to join us?"

James invited Wade Dong to dinner and joked, "When it comes to Chinese food, you're the expert. You can help us order."

"Sure."

Wade Dong agreed to James' invitation in front of Huang Yu.

Huang Yu, "????"

Huang Yu thought Wade Dong had something to do when he declined his invitation, but when James invited him, Wade Dong immediately agreed. Dong didn't give him much face.

What Huang Yu didn't realize was that Wade Dong wasn't being impolite to him but rather to his girlfriend.

Having reached Wade Dong's level, he didn't need to consider others' feelings when making decisions.

The reason he agreed to James' invitation was that he had already planned to eat, and James had something in common with Wade Dong. Perhaps it was the loyalty to family that few Americans had.

James had been in the league for many years, and countless celebrities had professed their love for him, but he wasn't sure how he felt about them. However, at least on the surface, James didn't waver. Regardless of whether James was pretending or not, he had at least maintained this.

Of course, Huang Yu wasn't bad either, and conquering the Atlantic Ocean was a credit to the nation!

However, he and Wade Dong didn't quite fit together, although this didn't affect their friendship.

After the All-Star Game.

Harden immediately headed to a nightclub, accompanied by several other players. Other players returned to their respective homes or had gatherings with friends.

Wade Dong and James' family found a quiet Chinese restaurant.

Savannah said to Wade Dong, "James often mentions you, saying you're his biggest competitor and the goal he wants to surpass."

"Hahaha..."

Wade Dong laughed and humbly said, "James is also my idol."

Savannah said, "I believe you two will become good friends. James is a worthy friend."

"Yeah, yeah~"

Wade Dong nodded.

The restaurant James chose was owned by a Chinese person and served Shandong cuisine, one of the four major Chinese cuisines known for its salty and savory flavors and high requirements for cooking techniques. However, it wasn't very popular with Americans, so the restaurant was mostly empty, and almost all the customers were Chinese.

"James..."

"Dong..."

Several tables of customers saw Wade Dong and James and came over to greet them.

Wade Dong and James didn't refuse any requests for autographs or photos, and after about five minutes, the other diners politely stopped disturbing James' family and Wade Dong.

"Bean Curd..."

"Oil-Braised Prawns..."

"Spicy Intestines..."

"Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs..."

Wade Dong introduced each dish he ordered, and to be honest, translating these dishes was quite troublesome.

James saw the oil glistening on each dish and frowned, and Savannah explained, "James is very particular about his diet, and he can't enjoy the flavors of many of these dishes."

"No, no..."

James shook his head, "I'll take a break from my diet during the All-Star Weekend."

Wade Dong used a public chopstick to put a piece of spicy intestines into James' plate and said, "You should also give your intestines a break. Don't let them suffer with you."

"This thing..."

James picked up the chopsticks awkwardly, turned the intestines over, and frowned even more, "Can I really eat this?"

James wasn't uneducated, and he probably knew what spicy intestines were made of, so no matter how he looked at them, he didn't dare to eat them.

"Of course you can eat it. It's not only delicious but also very nutritious."

Wade Dong picked up a piece of intestines, chewed it vigorously, swallowed it, and said with a satisfied expression, "It's delicious. It's a heavenly delicacy."

Savannah looked at James and said, "Why don't you try it? I'm too scared to try it myself."

"Hmm..."

James hesitated for a long time, then grabbed a piece of intestines and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it once and immediately swallowed it, looking miserable.

After thirty seconds, James still couldn't hold it in, "Ugh... Ugh..."

"Drink some white wine to wash it down!"

Wade Dong immediately pushed a glass of white wine towards James.

James grabbed the glass of white wine and drank it in one go, and his expression relaxed a bit, "The taste of this intestine... I can't enjoy it!"

"Hahaha..."

Wade Dong was amused by James.

He turned to see James' son scooping up the intestines with a spoon and eating them with a look of enjoyment, "I think it's delicious. It has a unique flavor, but it's irresistible."

James, "????"

Apart from the spicy intestines, James and Savannah enjoyed the other dishes.

After the meal, James asked curiously, "Dong, do you often eat these delicacies?"

"Yes."

"Oh my..."

James widened his eyes, "I'm so envious of you. You can enjoy delicious food without affecting your physical condition. I think I can only indulge like this after I retire."
