The game ended with a victory for the West.
Oden, who had racked up 25 points, 19 rebounds, and 5 blocks—a near 20-20—successfully lifted the MVP trophy.
Chen Yu stood up and applauded.
Not far away, Oden was already surrounded by a crowd of reporters.
Without a doubt, a superstar was on the rise.
The NBA scouts around him were also whispering amongst themselves.
Oden might still have quite a few issues. For instance, his technique was still a bit rough; out of ten plays, he probably relied on his physical strength for seven of them.
But he was improving.
When he first appeared on Chen Yu's show, he was just a beast under the basket with nothing but a powerful physique.
But after training on the show, spending a year recovering from an injury, and sitting out a season to mature, his technique had actually become much more refined.
And he hadn't lost his defensive skills.
