Silently Writing
How can one write the most ridiculous plot in the most logical way?
Wow, author, the O'Neal in your writing is so strong! But why was such a strong O'Neal swept? This plot is toxic, so unreasonable, I'm dropping the book.
Wow, author, how could you write Jordan so strong? A 10-time scoring champion? No one would dare to write that in a novel. And he achieved an average of 30+ points per game with a field goal percentage above 50% for multiple seasons. Unreasonable, too fantastical, I'm dropping the book.
Wow, author, is it reasonable to write Kobe scoring 81 points in a single game and 50+ points in four consecutive games? It's not reasonable! If such a strong Kobe doesn't win a championship, it's toxic! Oh, he didn't win a championship, then I'm dropping the book. Garbage.
Holy crap, you dog of an author, do you even know how to write? Three-pointers aren't that easy to make! Is that even Curry you're writing about? That's just a cheater! Do you even understand basketball! Dropping the book!
Look, there's also my tortoise with 30+ points triple-doubles per game, Harden with 60+ points triple-doubles, and Chamberlain's absurd stats from ancient times...
This is reality, more magical than novels.
However, I believe that if an author dared to write the careers of the above players into a novel without logic, he would have been roasted to death, right?
After all, novels need logic, but reality doesn't.
That's why, when writing Su Feng's recent plot, I repeatedly, and I mean repeatedly, emphasized the importance of state for a star player.
Because you might not believe it, but if you watch JR's highlights, you might even think he's not much worse than Jordan.
But if you ignore one-game and one-possession arguments, how many people would think JR is stronger than Jordan?
I think even a brain-dead author like me wouldn't dare to say that, right?
Therefore, I don't want to spend any more time discussing what reasonableness is with you handsome readers, because in reality, this book is already the limit of what I can reasonably do. If I were to be any more reasonable, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain many of the logics myself.
From the timeline and Su Feng's career, his rise is inevitable, because it's a process of accumulating strength over time.
And I've mentioned more than once that the reason for Su Feng's rise is related to the fact that these top forwards and guards facing him haven't reached their peak yet.
In short, Su Feng, who entered his peak early, is enjoying the benefits of entering his peak faster than others.
Therefore, I've mentioned more than once in the book that when looking at Su Feng's career, don't look at it with a one-game or one-possession perspective.
Because in reality, which star doesn't have a few highlight moments?
Waiwai based on reasonableness is what I've been doing. As for being fantastical and clichéd... how should I explain it? Is it clichéd for the protagonist of a basketball novel to win a championship? It is, right? Then do you think I would dare to write a novel where the protagonist plays for twenty years and retires without a championship? I wouldn't dare, because writing that kind of story wouldn't just be going against money, it would be going against everyone.
And being fantastical...
To be honest, if Su Feng, as I've currently written him, is really fantastical, then I can give you a bunch of people who are even more fantastical than him. In addition, that's why I used a whole chapter to set up the game against the Nets before. However, I've now discovered that no matter how much you set it up, a small number of people will just say it's filler and skip it directly.
Anyway, explaining and setting up is just filling space, and skipping explanations allows you to confidently say that what you've written is unreasonable, and then quickly skip to saying you don't watch this, don't watch that, this is unscientific, that is unreasonable... Then, may I ask... how should a dog of an author like me write this book?
As for whether Su Feng is strong now?
Of course, he's strong, because if the protagonist in my own book isn't strong, who is?
Does that mean everyone can't beat him? Then what the heck am I watching?
I'm sorry, I didn't say that.
Because please look carefully, in this book, I've mentioned the word "state" at least 10086 times.
Does Su Feng care about state?
Yes, of course, he does. If I were writing a 2k game novel, then why would I waste so much time explaining to you the objective reasons that affect the final result of a basketball game?
However, why do you have to look at reality with the feeling of playing a game?
Because he can score 60 points in one game, does that mean he can score 60 points in every game of the 82-game season?
Because he scored 60 points in two games, does that mean everyone can't beat Su Feng?
Then why didn't Kobe, who scored 81 points and 50+ points in four consecutive games, win the championship for 10 consecutive seasons?
Then why did Jordan wait until the mid-to-late stages of his career to start his dynasty mode?
Then why was O'Neal swept so many times?
Please don't look at reality with a one-game or one-possession perspective, because this book is a reasonable creation based on reality.
Su Feng will have times when he's in good form, and times when he's not. He'll have times when he scores 60 points in a single game, and times when he shoots 17 for 47.
In the real world, it's useless to refer to ability values when evaluating players.
Because before the actual game starts, even I, the author, don't know the player's state, and that's the famous "Schrödinger's state" on the basketball court.
Therefore, let me especially respond to "Yu Xiong" again...
Please don't impose your understanding of "reasonableness" on a certain game or season of Su Feng's. Please expand your "reasonableness" to Su Feng's entire career.
This is a novel that will be written for 20 seasons. It's not a story that only writes about a few games or a few seasons.
Please carefully understand the state, stamina, the state of the opponents, the stamina of the opponents, the tactics Su Feng uses, and the tactics the opponents use, and other objective factors that I have been repeatedly emphasizing.
Please read carefully every chapter I write, including some chapters that are only written to explain reasonableness.
Because I said, there is no chapter in my book that is redundant.
Interlocking links are the essence of this book. A butterfly effect can cause a tsunami, and a tsunami will inevitably bring about changes in an entire era.
That's why I didn't start increasing the scenes of Su Feng's rise until this season after the hC rule was cancelled.
That's also why I arranged for Honey Kelun Martin to officiate this game.
My usual seemingly unintentional descriptions, and the small details that you see as just rants or filler, have actually laid the groundwork for Su Feng's rise.
And then, Su Feng's rise is not accidental, but inevitable.
It just depends on how his own state is, and what kind of level he can reach.
Okay, Qiao is going to sleep. After waking up, I will continue the story and get back to the topic!
