"Let's welcome the MVP of this year's All-Star Game, Tang from Long Guo."
The spotlight fell on Tang Long's feet, and in this moment, Tang Long enjoyed the attention of the entire world.
"Trailing by twenty-five points, with 40 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 blocks, this is definitely a milestone for an All-Star Game. I also want to say that Tang Long is the youngest MVP in NBA history."
There are busts among draft picks, but not among MVP winners.
When Stern presented the specially made All-Star MVP trophy to Tang Long, he also patted Tang Long's shoulder, saying, "If the Cavaliers can win the championship this year, then this summer's promotion will be carried out by the Cavaliers in Long Guo. Even the first game of the preseason will be held in Long Guo."
Tang Long almost dropped the trophy.
Stern was very satisfied with Tang Long's performance just now.
Giving young people a little more incentive would make them work harder on the court.
In fact, it was just as Stern thought. Tang Long was almost stunned when he heard that a preseason game would be played in Long Guo.
This was a rare move.
Besides seeing the potential of the Long Guo market, being able to play a game at home was definitely a player's most glorious moment.
Tang Long, who had not been as eager for the championship as before, was now completely filled with an unstoppable spirit.
Soon, this game also became a trending topic on Weibo in Long Guo.
Many people in Long Guo who didn't watch basketball knew that in the distant Huaqi Country, a player from Long Guo had shown his might and led his team to victory, and was even the MVP of the entire game.
In an instant, Tang Long became the hottest star in Long Guo.
...
"Tang, you are now the youngest MVP in the league's All-Star Game. How do you feel about that?"
Xiao Gen held the microphone, her eyes filled with unconcealed eagerness.
If it weren't for the tens of thousands of people present, the cameras, and the fact that she had secured the post-game MVP interview, she would have loved to throw herself into Tang Long's arms.
This damn male pheromone had already made her dizzy.
"It feels like a dream." Tang Long shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be honest, we should have been put on the court in the third quarter, but for some reason, the coach never made any adjustments. Perhaps he knew Garnett and the others better, but fortunately, he made the right decision in the fourth quarter."
Xiao Gen paused for a moment, then became ecstatic.
"Tang, are you implying that Coach Doc Rivers intentionally kept you guys off the court?"
As she spoke, Xiao Gen stared intently into Tang Long's eyes.
This was the most explosive news.
If Tang Long nodded, then coupled with the buzz of today's All-Star Game, this topic would surely become a global sensation. 138 Reading Network.
If Fox Sports got such a scoop, the ratings would be...
Thinking about it, Xiao Gen couldn't imagine any further.
Perhaps Fox Sports would soar to become the number one sports channel in Huaqi Country, surpassing even ESPN and CNN.
"What Tang said is the truth."
James and Wade also walked over. James said into the microphone, "If Coach Doc didn't have so many selfish motives, this game might not have been as difficult in the fourth quarter."
"I agree with James. This game shouldn't have been so passive. If the coach had let us play in the third quarter, the West wouldn't have had such a huge lead. Fortunately, we still won the game in the end. If we had lost, then Doc Rivers would have been the sinner of this game."
"Ah?"
Xiao Gen's eyes widened in disbelief.
This was indeed an interview that would ignite the eyes of all of Huaqi Country.
It was just that...
This was too explosive.
It was truly beyond her limit of excited anticipation.
"We do have doubts about Coach Doc's coaching ability." Tang Long said, putting his arm around James's shoulder, "Of course, this is also a good thing for us, as the Celtics will be strong contenders in the playoffs."
At this moment, another reporter extended their microphone, "Tang, are you saying that you are confident of winning this year's championship?"
If it were someone else, they might have offered an explanation, or even denied it outright.
But after Stern's hint, Tang Long calmly nodded, "That's right, this year's championship will definitely belong to the Cavaliers."
The reporters who were preparing to interview Tang Long frowned upon hearing this, with a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces.
"But..."
Before the reporter could say anything more, Tang Long waved his hand, "I'm sorry, we have to go celebrate."
This action made the reporters feel that Tang Long had become even more arrogant after winning the MVP.
However, Xiao Gen quickly communicated with her colleagues, explaining that Tang Long was tired and needed to rest, and she would share today's interview with everyone later.
Tang Long glanced back at Xiao Gen, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He wasn't being arrogant; he just needed to maintain the buzz.
Besides basketball, he was also a major shareholder of Twitter. As long as this momentum continued, if he announced the opening of his social media account on Twitter, it would quickly help Twitter attract a large number of users.
Of course, the content of today's interview was already explosive enough.
The next day, the news about Doc Rivers' controversial moves during the All-Star Game appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in Huaqi Country.
More reporters, like white sharks that had smelled blood, rushed into the hotel where Garnett and Doc Rivers were staying, vying for interviews.
While Doc Rivers was in a state of utter chaos, Tang Long's side was buzzing with activity.
Under his organization and coordination, a social gathering of Hollywood stars and NBA players was in full swing.
...
"Mr. Wu, we've made it!"
The young assistant excitedly ran into Wu Rongzhao's office, pointing at the screen on the computer. The global search index for Tang Long and MVP had reached number one, meaning their strategy had been spot on.
At this moment, if they announced that Hongxing Erke had signed Tang Long as an endorser, their brand would instantly become the focus of everyone's attention.
"Quick, launch the publicity plan. We must showcase our deep cooperation with Tang Long as quickly as possible."
...
Not only in Long Guo, but even in Huaqi Country, Jack Dorsey was holding a meeting with his employees, planning how to use Tang Long for their first advertising campaign.
Jack was extremely excited, not only because of Tang Long's substantial investment, but also because of Tang Long's achievements on the court. The more attention he received, the better it would be for Twitter's development.
Wait, Jack suddenly stood up.
Today was the day Tang Long had invited many people to a dinner party. If he could help promote Twitter at this moment, encouraging more players and celebrities to open accounts on Twitter, then the website would take off!
