Chapter 121: Human High-Quality Idol

"I really can't beat him in a one-on-one," Nash muttered.

But under the eager gaze of the fans, he had no choice but to step onto the court.

"Don't pretend anymore," Nash said, standing in front of Wade Dong, still a bit annoyed. "We've all guessed who you are."

"Even if you've guessed, don't say it," Wade Dong replied, making a gesture to silence him. "Let's just have our one-on-one."

This exchange between Wade Dong and Nash was overheard by some fans, including those who understood English.

"Does Helmet Knight know Nash?"

"Then Helmet Knight's identity..."

At this point, it wasn't hard to figure out. Someone who could beat Hill and was familiar with Nash could only be Wade Dong himself!

"Let's go!" Nash said, starting the attack.

Wade Dong knew that Nash was not only good at passing but also accurate in shooting, so after dribbling, Wade Dong stuck close to him, not giving Nash an easy shot.

"Do you really have to do this?" Nash muttered again. He tried a few feints but couldn't shake Wade Dong off, so he had to force a shot after dribbling a couple of times.

"Clang!!!"

The ball hit the rim and bounced off.

It was Wade Dong's turn to attack. Nash was known as "Nash the Defender," so Wade Dong easily scored against him.

12:0!!!

Wade Dong easily defeated Nash.

[Talent Point +1...]

"You're really too bored!" Nash said, looking unhappy. A perfectly good fan meet-and-greet had been ruined by Wade Dong! It was supposed to be a segment where they dominated the fans, but instead, they were dominated by the "fan."

At this point, the fans had also guessed Helmet Knight's identity without Nash and Hill saying anything.

"Take off the helmet!"

"Take off the helmet!"

"Take off the helmet!"

The fans shouted excitedly, wanting to confirm their guess that Helmet Knight was Wade Dong.

"What's the point of taking off the helmet?" Wade Dong said, taking the microphone from the on-site DJ. "I think it would be more interesting if I dunked instead."

Nash had never dunked in a game, and many even thought he couldn't dunk, so this was a big deal.

"We want to see you dunk!" a fan shouted from the crowd.

Then...

"Helmet Knight, dunk!"

"Helmet Knight, dunk!"

"Helmet Knight, dunk!"

The fans chanted in unison.

Yu Jia also came onto the court and said into the microphone, "Helmet Knight, if you don't dunk twice today, the fans won't be satisfied!"

"Alright then," Wade Dong agreed.

He grabbed the ball with one hand, took two steps, and performed a windmill dunk.

"Wow~!"

The fans went wild.

Such an effortless windmill dunk was something even most NBA players couldn't do.

Then, Wade Dong followed up with a between-the-legs dunk.

These two dunks brought the atmosphere to its peak.

Yu Jia took the microphone and said, "Wade Dong, isn't it a bit hot wearing a helmet on such a hot day?"

"Hahaha..."

The fans laughed, knowing that Yu Jia had just confirmed that Helmet Knight was indeed Wade Dong.

Wade Dong smiled and took off his helmet. "Hello everyone~!"

"Dong Ge!"

"Dong Ge!"

"Dong Ge!"

Wade Dong's popularity far surpassed that of Nash and Hill.

In fact, many fans who came to the event were hoping that Wade Dong might show up. After all, it was the Suns' coach and players coming to China, so it made sense for Wade Dong, as a teammate, to come and greet them.

Indeed... Wade Dong's appearance made the fans feel that coming today was the right decision.

Yu Jia walked onto the court and joked, "Wade Dong, you appeared today in this outfit to give the fans a chance to challenge you one-on-one, right?"

"You're so thoughtful~" Wade Dong smiled, appreciating that Yu Jia had solved his dilemma of finding a reason for the fans to challenge him.

"Do you want to challenge me one-on-one?" Wade Dong asked, holding the ball in one hand and cupping his ear with the other, waiting to hear the fans' response.

"Yes!!!"

The fans erupted in a thunderous cheer.

The news of Wade Dong's appearance at the event spread quickly, and more fans rushed over. Since the Olympics, Wade Dong hadn't appeared in public, and the fans didn't want to miss this chance to get close to their idol.

"Alright!" Wade Dong took the microphone and shouted, "Today, I'm going to play fifty one-on-ones!"

With one fan per minute, fifty fans would take over an hour, leaving just two hours for the event. So, fifty was the limit.

50 talent points might not seem like much, but the Olympic final had cost him 150 talent points. Wade Dong didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to earn talent points.

"Dong Ge, we love you~"

The fans were even more excited than Wade Dong about the fifty one-on-ones.

In the past, when NBA stars came to China and challenged fans, the organizers would select one or two fans for a symbolic challenge. But Wade Dong was the first to offer to play fifty one-on-ones.

Wade Dong truly was a high-quality idol.

"I'll go first!" a chubby fan rushed onto the court.

Wade Dong was quite curious. The first time he played one-on-one at Yanjing University, his first opponent was also a chubby fan. This time, it was the same. Did chubby fans like to be in the spotlight?

"Alright!" Wade Dong passed the ball to the chubby fan.

Due to time constraints, the rules were set before the one-on-one: only one shot, with the fan attacking first and Wade Dong defending, followed by Wade Dong attacking.

The organizers also announced that if a fan could prevent Wade Dong from scoring, they would receive a pair of shoes, and if they scored against Wade Dong, they would also receive a pair of shoes.

The chubby fan, after receiving the ball, made a three-point shooting pose and, catching Wade Dong off guard, threw the ball towards the hoop, hoping for a lucky shot.

However...

Wade Dong didn't even jump, just reached out and snatched the ball from the air.

"Hahaha..."

The crowd burst into laughter. The chubby fan's shooting style was hilarious, and Wade Dong didn't give him any face, directly snatching the ball.

"Your shooting style is wrong," Wade Dong laughed, holding the ball. The chubby fan was only about 1.6 meters tall, so Wade Dong didn't even need to make a three-point pose, just jumped and shot the ball into the hoop.

"Swish!!!"

A perfect shot, with a difficulty level similar to training, Wade Dong could guarantee a 90% success rate.

"Keep going!" Wade Dong patted the chubby fan's shoulder encouragingly and then said to the fans, "Next!"
