Chapter 90: Happily Earning Talent Points

The next day, Wade Dong brought the championship trophy to Beijing University.

In the Beijing University basketball arena, Wade Dong held a school reunion.

Wade Dong currently didn't have a team, so this was organized by Beijing University. The basketball arena was filled with Beijing University students, and reporters were not allowed in, making the reunion simple but heartwarming.

Li Pei stood in the center of the arena with a microphone, "Let's give a warm round of applause to the NBA Finals MVP, playoff scoring champion, and block leader, our dear brother, Wade Dong, as he makes his grand entrance!"

As Li Pei finished speaking, Wade Dong, carrying the championship trophy, walked from the tunnel to the center of the court.

NBA championship team members can apply to bring the championship trophy to some business activities. Usually, each application is only for three days. Many international players, after winning the championship, apply to bring the trophy back to their hometown as a symbol of honor and glory.

Wade Dong's application was approved for a week. After a week, he would arrange for the trophy to be returned to the team.

"Hello, everyone, I am Wade Dong."

Wade Dong took the microphone and greeted the students.

"FMVP!"

"FMVP!"

"FMVP!"

The arena echoed with unified cheers.

In fact, most Beijing University students knew Wade Dong. After all, Wade Dong was once the captain of the school team, tall and handsome, and many junior girls had a crush on him. Unfortunately, the senior was already taken by a senior girl.

Wade Dong gestured for the students to quiet down and said, "I am especially happy to be back at my alma mater. This is my home..."

After a brief speech, Wade Dong concluded, "Today, we are proud of Beijing University, and I hope that tomorrow, Beijing University will be proud of us. Students, you must work hard, but I don't need to work hard because I have already achieved my goals."

"Boo~~~"

The arena immediately filled with boos.

Wade Dong's speech had moved the students, and his final sentence elevated the speech.

However, Wade Dong ended with a very Versailles-like statement, which the students found inappropriate, but it also livened up the atmosphere.

Li Pei took the microphone and said, "Every summer, when NBA stars visit China, there is always an event where they play one-on-one with fans. If Brother Wade could arrange this, it would be amazing."

"Smart move~"

Wade Dong praised Li Pei in his heart.

He had not discussed this with Li Pei beforehand, but it seemed that Li Pei's understanding had improved recently.

Wade Dong looked at the crowded arena, seeing all the potential talent points.

"Does everyone want to play one-on-one with Brother Wade?"

Li Pei shouted again, "Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"Yes!!!"

The entire arena erupted in deafening cheers.

If they were to play one-on-one with someone slightly better than themselves, the students might hesitate, fearing the embarrassment of losing.

But playing one-on-one with Wade Dong was different; there was no question of winning or losing. Just standing on the court with Wade Dong was already a success.

Li Pei quickly organized the basketball team members to clear a space, and the students took out their phones to record videos.

"Me first, me first."

The first to step onto the court was a chubby guy, eager to try.

"You go first."

Wade Dong dribbled the ball and passed it to the chubby guy.

The chubby guy received the ball and performed a spinning move, a streetball trick that looked quite impressive.

"Go, chubby guy!"

The students cheered and laughed.

The chubby guy became even more excited and continued with a series of fancy dribbles...

These moves looked like child's play to Wade Dong now.

"Aren't you tired?"

Wade Dong asked, reaching out and stealing the ball effortlessly.

The move was so quick that the chubby guy didn't even react. He thought he still had the ball and continued dribbling and moving his feet.

"Hahaha..."

The students all saw Wade Dong take the ball and burst into laughter.

After the laughter, the chubby guy realized the ball was gone. Embarrassed, he stood there scratching his head. He had wanted to show off, but he didn't even know when Wade Dong had taken the ball. At that moment, he realized that not only could dribbling be flashy, but defense could be as well.

"Now it's my turn to attack."

Wade Dong held the ball with one hand and faked a throw into the air. The chubby guy immediately turned to look at the basket but saw no ball.

"Hahaha..."

The students laughed again.

Wade Dong had faked the throw, but the ball was still in his hand.

This move seemed simple but required strong wrist strength. Few people other than professional players could pull it off; usually, the ball would fly out when the hand moved.

When the chubby guy turned back, Wade Dong faked another throw, and the chubby guy turned again...

"Hahaha..."

This time, some students were laughing so hard they had to hold their stomachs.

Wade Dong didn't tease the chubby guy anymore and shot a three-pointer.

"Swish!!!"

The ball went straight through the net.

[Talent Point +1...]

"Brother Wade!!!"

As Wade Dong scored, Li Pei shouted "Brother Wade" into the microphone.

When the chubby guy left the court, Wade Dong signed his name on the chubby guy's shirt.

At this point, Wade Dong said a few words to Li Pei, who then announced, "Brother Wade said that if he doesn't enter the three-second area during the one-on-one and misses a shot, he will give away a signed jersey. If someone scores against Brother Wade, they will receive a pair of signed shoes."

This announcement made all the students eager to try.

Not entering the three-second area meant he would only shoot from outside, and it wasn't guaranteed that every shot would go in. Plus, if they could get past Wade Dong or sneak into the three-second area during their attack, it would be like scoring an open layup.

The temptation was too great...

"Me!"

"Me!"

"Me!"

The students almost rushed onto the court.

"One at a time, form a line if you want to play one-on-one!"

Li Pei quickly organized the basketball team members to maintain order, ensuring the arena didn't become chaotic.

Fortunately, the Beijing University students were well-behaved.

An orderly one-on-one session began...

[Talent Point +1...]

[Talent Point +1...]

[Talent Point +1...]

Wade Dong happily earned talent points.

To save time, Wade Dong would immediately steal the ball if the student dribbled and block their shots if they attempted to shoot. He gave them no chance, crushing their basketball dreams...

As for Wade Dong's offense, the students realized the terror of professional players. It turned out that open shots could indeed have a 100% success rate.
