Silently Writing
Chapter 814 All-Star Weekend, Treat Everyone Equally!
The next day, through live television, Su Feng and Wade completed the team selections for this year's All-Star Weekend, "Team Su Feng" and "Team Wade".
"Team Su Feng" starting five: Milicic, Griffin, Leonard, James.
"Team Wade" starting five: Yao Ming, Durant, Kobe, Wade, Paul.
In the first round of picks, Su Feng immediately chose the "Crown Prince," who was single-mindedly trying to usurp his position.
This season, James, defended to death by his teammates, was unable to use his strength in the regular season.
Therefore, Su Feng knew that in the upcoming Houston All-Star Weekend, James would be impatient to show the world his talent through the All-Star Game.
And Wade, selecting his team as a captain for the first time, was obviously too inexperienced in this draft.
Because as the second-to-pick, Wade happily accepted Kobe, the top MVP candidate this season, and Durant, the "Seattle Contractor." Little did Wade know that Kobe's only thought this season was to create a new NBA regular season record with Su Feng.
No exaggeration.
To choose such a veteran who only wants to slack off during All-Star Weekend...
That's basically like choosing an undercover agent.
In the starting lineup selection, after Wade made this choice, Su Feng immediately brought Griffin and Leonard into his team.
As the hope of the entire village of Boston, Su Feng knew that a young man like Leonard, playing in his first All-Star Game, definitely couldn't "handle" it.
Therefore, don't look at how far Little Card is from his complete form.
But before he understands the difference between an exhibition game and a real battle, Su Feng has every reason to believe that he will become the shaft of the starting trident of "Team Su Feng" this year.
And in the second round of selections, Su Feng deliberately left Yao Ming for Wade.
Although during the regular season this year, Little Yao was either drinking wolfberry tea or playing health-preserving basketball...
But after the Lakers won the second Earth Defense War, Su Feng knew that Yao Ming would definitely put his energy and stamina into the remaining two Earth Defense Wars after the All-Star Weekend.
As a result, as Su Feng expected, Wade chose Paul and Yao Ming in his last picks for the starting lineup.
And in this way, Su Feng naturally took over the "inferior horse" in this All-Star Weekend starting lineup selection...
Darko Milicic.
Wade might not believe it.
As early as when preparing for this round of selections, Su Feng had already written Milicic into his team's list.
Because Milicic, who became one of the five Eastern Conference starters this year thanks to the votes of his Serbian hometown folks and Miami fans, Su Feng knew that he would definitely play very hard, even if he thought about it with his toes.
"Dwyane, you're still too young after all!"
After the starting lineup selection ended, looking at Wade, who was planning to open champagne early in the studio in Atlanta, Su Feng felt that in recent years, besides Little Yao, no one was his opponent in the All-Star lineup selection.
And next, in the substitute selection, Su Feng also got the seven substitutes he wanted most:
Howard, Curry, Westbrook, D-Will, Parker, Joe Johnson, Paul George.
Wade's seven substitutes are as follows:
Anthony, Duncan, Gasol, Roy, Walker, Irving, Marc Gasol.
As the only All-Star Weekend substitute player in the "Brooklyn Big Three," Su Feng knew that Howard was definitely going all out to show himself.
And my Turtle and my Curry, there's no need to say more...
Maybe my Turtle in regular games is a bit hard to describe.
But Westbrook in the All-Star Game...
That's a sharp knife to the extreme.
In the 2017 New Orleans All-Star Weekend, with only 19 minutes of playing time, Westbrook scored a total of 41 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists on 16 of 26 shots.
If it weren't for the fact that Anthony Davis, who had already been promoted to the "King of Empty Stats," had as many as 39 shots with the help of the Western All-Star players in that All-Star Game...
Then my Turtle would definitely be the well-deserved MVP.
And as for the latter...
Admittedly.
Curry's touch on All-Star Weekend has always been worse than when he usually plays.
But Curry, who is willing to share the ball with his teammates on the All-Star Weekend stage...
In Su Feng's view, is an indispensable member of this "Team Su Feng," which is mostly composed of "lone wolves."
And at the end of the draft, Su Feng and Wade respectively chose Van Gundy and Silas to serve as the coaches of their teams.
In short...
This year's All-Star Weekend lineup selection, Wade seemingly selected a lineup with a very high rating...
But when the time comes to really play...
Seriously...
If "Team Su Feng" doesn't hold back, Su Feng even suspects that Wade will have to shut himself down on the spot in less than two quarters.
…
In February, before the arrival of All-Star Weekend, the Lakers, who won consecutive battles, defeated the Celtics, Bobcats, Heat, Suns, and Clippers.
In these five games, except for the Bobcats and Heat, which gave the Lakers some trouble, the other three teams surrendered in three quarters.
Because Duncan once again missed the "Battle of Destiny" with Su Feng "due to injury," and in the second round of the Lakers' game against the Celtics, important players such as Perkins and Tony Allen were also sidelined...
Therefore, this originally highly anticipated "Lake-Kai War" once again became Su Feng's one-sided teaching of Leonard.
In the game, Leonard, who learned from the experience of the first round, was the same as Su Feng when he first met "Old Rogue."
He defended very hard.
But it was useless.
There was nothing he could do.
Even though Little Card has made rapid progress this season, the gap between him and Su Feng cannot be closed in a short period of time.
But it is worth mentioning that...
In terms of being able to take a beating...
Leonard is indeed far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.
Because after being repeatedly teased on the court by Su Feng, not only did this unlucky child's mentality not collapse...
He even became more energetic!
After this game, Su Feng fully affirmed Leonard's tenacious willpower.
And one day later...
In the game against the Bobcats, Su Feng felt the full malice from a certain "nitpicking" monster.
Throughout the game, the Bobcats players, who were fighting with all their might, not only maintained the game at the playoff level, but also, in the game, these Bobcats players seemed to have a grudge against Su Feng. Even if they would rather leave others open, they would still double-team Su Feng.
Obviously.
This Bobcats team clearly received a death order from a certain big shot before the game.
Anyway, the game can be lost.
But Su Feng must die.
And originally...
The Lakers, who had the advantage in overall strength in this game, shouldn't have had such a difficult time.
But Kobe seemed to be poisoned in this game.
He only made 7 of 24 shots throughout the game. In Su Feng's words...
If you don't shoot bricks, then it's a sunny day!
And there's nothing to say about the other three games.
Ever since "breaking up" with Riley, basically whenever he meets the Heat, Su Feng treats the game against the Heat as a playoff game.
And the Suns, who are rebuilding, are also一心 wanting to challenge the giant status of the Mosaic, Timberwolves, and Spurs in the West.
It's the Clippers...
Lillard, who said "My fate is up to me, not up to the heavens," almost caused an infighting between Su Feng and Kobe in the game.
Because in the game, Lillard sent the Lakers a full sixteen offensive rebounds...
Therefore, on the matter of who should pick up the rebounds, Su Feng and Kobe, who were getting deeper and deeper in the sewers, almost quarreled on the court.
"I saw this rebound first!"
"Do you have evidence to prove that you saw it first?"
"No!
But I have the tape that Gay recorded!"
Fortunately.
Because Kobe had Su Feng's black history from early years in his hands.
So before this argument even started, Su Feng took the lead in raising the "French flag" to Kobe.
…
On the 14th, Valentine's Day, Su Feng and Kobe arrived in Houston with Marc Gasol and Middleton, who were selected to participate in the Rookie Challenge.
This season, Middleton, who is still leveling up, has been able to contribute 5.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game for the Lakers so far.
From the data point of view, there are many players in the freshman class with better data panels than him.
But because the judges took into account that the data of players in strong and weak teams cannot be compared, Middleton was also successfully selected for this year's Rookie Challenge.
Same as last year.
This year's Rookie Challenge will still be led by Barkley and O'Neal.
However, unlike what Su Feng remembered, this year's Rookie Challenge will also adopt a team selection system.
As a result, after watching Barkley and O'Neal's selections.
Su Feng suddenly felt that this was a game where the rookies were so bad that they couldn't be any worse.
Because can you believe it...
The "Half-Beast" Faried, who is destined to be unstoppable in this kind of game...
Wasn't he selected into the team by Barkley with a look of disgust until the last few rounds of selections?
In the Rookie Challenge team selection, Barkley and O'Neal's main targets were Anthony Davis, Rubio, Waiters, and Klay.
In Su Feng's view, these two capable generals, one before and one after, are indeed worth snatching.
But if you don't understand, just ask...
Why are these two stupid sharks and stupid pigs...
Snatching Rubio, is it because they are afraid that the other players will not be able to snatch enough offensive rebounds?
Admittedly.
Rubio is one of the best point guards in this year's Rookie Challenge.
But in this kind of game, which is more entertaining in nature...
Shouldn't you prioritize offense when selecting players?
In the hotel, after watching this rookie game with Kobe, Su Feng felt that it was indeed an extremely wise decision for Barkley and O'Neal to choose to become commentators after retiring.
Because with these two people's coaching ability...
If they really choose to become coaches...
Then I'm afraid that the coaches of the other twenty-nine teams, except for the teams they are in, would all wish that they could work as coaches for fifty years.
On the 15th, the 2013 All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge kicked off at the Toyota Center.
As a result, Barkley, who had previously looked disgusted with Faried, became really fragrant in the game.
Because as the level of competition decreased, Faried's explosive talent was unstoppable.
And O'Neal, who chose Rubio in the second round of selections, was stunned under the dazed tree.
Because in the game, besides repeatedly missing shots, Rubio even missed an open layup that O'Neal's grandmother could have made.
In Su Feng's previous life, Rubio, who debuted with the title of "Golden Boy," just caught up with a good time.
Because if he had been born a few years later, how could the title of "Happy King of Sports" have fallen on Sterling?
Missing open layups is not uncommon on the basketball court.
After all...
Even the best basketball players make mistakes.
But...
In the NBA, to be able to cut the missed open layups into a highlight reel...
There is definitely only Rubio alone.
On December 21, 2017, in a game between the Jazz and the Thunder.
At that time, Rubio, who had the opportunity to fast break, successfully fooled his opponent. Perhaps because he couldn't bear the sight of my Turtle running back to defend in vain...
Rubio, who was only three meters away from a teammate who was silently watching him, successfully converted a "you go, you can do it" bank shot into a rebound.
No exaggeration.
The title of "Essence of Human Missed Open Layups," in the NBA, only Rubio deserves it.
Because compared with the missed opportunities of Rubio...
No matter how shocking the ironmonger is, there is no way to compare with it.
In the end, in this rookie challenge, Barkley's team successfully defeated O'Neal's team with Faried's explosive performance of 44 points.
After the game, according to the pre-game agreement that whoever loses will be kicked in the butt by the other party...
Barkley, in front of nearly 20,000 fans in the Toyota Center, after putting on a pair of pointed leather shoes, made O'Neal successfully experience what is "worse than death."
Compared with the attention brought by the Rookie Challenge itself...
Barkley's earth-shattering kick not only created traffic for this year's All-Star Weekend, but also contributed a whole set of "O'Neal. Miserable.jpg" emoticons for future meme enthusiasts.
Kobe, who didn't go to the scene and watched this kick with Su Feng in the hotel, regretted it to death.
Because if he had known that such an interesting scene would happen after the game...
Then he would definitely have been guarding the sidelines with a camera.
On the 16th.
The 2013 All-Star Weekend individual challenge continued at the Toyota Center.
After Su Feng and Carter joined hands to kill the Slam Dunk Contest last year, this year's Slam Dunk Contest can only be described as dull.
When Terrence Ross, who won the final championship of the Slam Dunk Contest, received the Slam Dunk Contest trophy, even half of the fans at the scene had already left.
In contrast...
On the contrary, the Three-Point Contest, which has always been suppressed by the Slam Dunk Contest, made people watch with relish.
In the first round of the preliminary round, Irving and Curry both scored 20+ points.
And in the final round, with the lead of making one more money ball, Irving also successfully took the crown of this year's three-point king.
After the game...
Curry shut himself down.
Because compared to losing to Irving in the Three-Point Contest...
What makes Curry the most uncomfortable is probably that his younger brother Seth Curry kicked him out of the Curry family on social media.
And besides the Slam Dunk Contest and the Three-Point Contest, this year's Skills Challenge champion was won by "Su Feng and Kobe's only designated rebound machine," Lillard.
"Okay, now it's time to study...
Whether to lead the team to beat Dwyane by 58 points or 61 points tomorrow."
The night of the 16th.
The night before the start of the All-Star Game, in order to leave a deep impression on Wade, who is his successor, before Wade retires...
Su Feng, who has always been "fair," silently thought.
…
