John Davis was simply the essence of human mobile taunting in the new season.

After feeding Pat Riley an entire carload of lemons in Miami, he then proceeded to Milwaukee...

George Karl, who had joined the Bucks that season, was so flustered by Davis' antics that he almost died of anger.

Last May, after failing to trade for Su Feng, the disheartened old Karl left Seattle.

As a result, Karl, who received an invitation from the Bucks after the lockout ended, suffered miserably.

Because the Bucks' former head coach, Chris Ford, had gotten Ray Allen to Boston through some shady dealings, now...

Karl, who could only coax Robinson into playing like he was a giant infant, was practically both a father and a mother in Milwaukee.

Well...

In the NBA, George Karl was definitely a toxic presence.

Because if you understand old Karl's coaching career, you'll know that old Karl has spent his entire life either training, or on the road to training, giant infant players.

As of now in the new season, Robinson is averaging 18.8 points, with all his stats declining significantly compared to last season.

Honestly, if this "Big Dog," who hadn't practiced much during the lockout, hadn't met George Karl, his career might have ended prematurely this season.

After the lockout ended, nobody knew how George Karl managed to coax Robinson back to the arena to train.

And the fact is, if Robinson had any brains, he would have achieved much more than he has.

Because after not training much for half a year, his performance could still crush many players in this league after putting in a little effort.

So, talent is just so unfair.

Some things, you really can't learn just by watching.

It's worth mentioning that before the game against the Raptors, Robinson, who had always believed that he was no worse than Su Feng, only lacking the same opportunities, had prepared to punch Jordan and kick Su Feng under old Karl's influence.

But...

What Robinson never expected was that the protagonist of this game was neither him nor Su Feng and Jordan.

But a man named Vince Carter.

Carter, who had performed mediocrely in Miami in the previous game, took off in this game against the Bucks.

If the state of most rookie players can be described with the numbers 3, 6, and 9, then on this night, Carter definitely rolled a 9.

Under the pressure from Su Feng and Jordan, Carter, who was matched up against Fox, had advantages in every aspect.

Throughout the game, he scored inside and out, making 8 of 13 shots, and including free throws and three-pointers, he scored a season-high 25 points and grabbed 6 rebounds.

In addition, Carter also delivered a fantastic dunk in the third quarter.

At that time, Carter, who broke through Fox on the baseline, delivered a mountain-splitting dunk against the Bucks' short and stocky power forward, Traylor!

As a result, the entire Milwaukee home stadium erupted in a collective "ooh" in that instant.

Of course...

As a "rogue," Jordan really liked it.

...

After defeating the Wizards, on the 19th, the Raptors defeated the Bucks again at home in a back-to-back.

The Raptors, who started the new season with a 6-game winning streak, had climbed to the top three in ESPN's latest power rankings.

In this era without social networks, they were being hyped more and more ridiculously through word of mouth.

On the same day, the NBA official also launched a vote on whether to bring the dunk contest back to the All-Star stage.

In the 97/98 season, the NBA canceled the dunk contest due to unsuccessful labor negotiations and the contest's perennial dullness.

As a result, after this vote was launched, millions of fans tirelessly cast their votes in favor via email.

And Su Feng, who had a good understanding with Stern, had already sent some of his and Carter's dunk highlights from training to Toronto Television in advance.

Su Feng knew very well that the key to this hype was that you couldn't completely let fans imagine things out of thin air.

As the heat of this discussion grew, it was certain that a group of "rational people" would soon emerge to doubt Su Feng and Carter's dunks.

So, in a few days, it would be time to let Toronto Television broadcast these dunks of his and Carter.

And this was the best response to this group of "rational people."

Although Su Feng didn't send his and Carter's most spectacular dunks to Toronto Television, Su Feng believed that for the fans of this era, who hadn't seen much of the world, this tape would definitely maximize their attention.

And in this way, in Su Feng's view, this whole stunt could be called perfect.

...

Sure enough, because the dunk performances of Su Feng and Carter on the streetball court had no concrete evidence, the appearance of "rational people" came even earlier than Su Feng had imagined.

On the 20th, just as fans were expressing their hope that the NBA could restart the dunk contest next season, the lemon spirits, mainly from the New York media, began to question the authenticity of Su Feng and Carter's dunks that day through lengthy articles.

And because the "show.time" label had been snatched away by the Raptors in the new season, the Los Angeles media on the West Coast also joined the lemon spirit camp this time.

As a result, those fans who always followed the wind began to think that the Raptors had deliberately created the hype of Su Feng and Carter's god-level battle a few days ago.

"David... The direction of public opinion seems a bit wrong now."

In New York, Mark, who had been happily designing the rules for next season's dunk contest, looked at Stern worriedly that day.

Stern nodded.

Although such doubts were actually indirectly creating topics for the Raptors.

But for Stern, who hoped to establish the Raptors as a positive example, this situation was definitely not what he expected.

"We can edit out some of Su and Vince's wonderful dunks in the game and then broadcast them on TV to dispel fans' doubts."

After thinking hard for a while for a solution, Stern patted Mark's shoulder and said.

"That makes sense. Su and Vince have a lot of classic dunks in the game. This will definitely turn the public opinion around."

After marveling in his heart that Stern was still better at coming up with ideas, Mark said.

But...

Before the NBA official could edit out the wonderful dunks of Su Feng and Carter, on the evening of the 20th, Toronto Television specially inserted a segment of Su Feng and Carter's usual dunks in training. This time...

It was New York and Los Angeles' turn to be jealous together.

"I don't know why the media would question Su and Vince.

Especially the New York media, don't they know that Patrick has been dunked on by Vince and Su four times combined?"

On the 21st, Jordan spoke up for Su Feng and Carter when visiting the Pistons' home court as a guest.

"Su and Vince often compete in dunking during training.

Although we all know that the Raptors are Su's team, in terms of dunking, Vince has always believed that he can compete with Su."

Before the game, Nash, who had memorized "Emotional Intelligence," also said this in an interview.

In fact, Jordan knew very well that as long as Carter participated in the dunk contest in the future, he would definitely surpass himself.

In Su Feng's previous life, when Carter refused to give up his starting position to Jordan, the reason why Jordan was uncomfortable was precisely because he couldn't bring himself to tell the media that Carter's behavior was very disrespectful to him.

Because for the Wizards' Jordan, who had watched the 2000 dunk contest, he wasn't stupid enough to tell the media that Carter's dunks were not as good as his.

Moreover, in this life, Jordan, who was teammates with Su Feng and Carter, had his values ​​washed over and over again by these young people.

So, in Jordan's view, speaking up for Su Feng and Carter would only be more beneficial to him.

Because in the grand scheme that Su Feng and he had discussed, maintaining the image of a kind senior was Jordan's main task in the new season.

As for teammates such as Nash and McGrady...

Hey...

They weren't Carter, so how could they not know how to cooperate with Su Feng?

"I think New Yorkers want to avenge Patrick, they still need to focus on the game, instead of doing this kind of off-court tricks.

To be honest, if the NBA restarts the dunk contest next year, then I firmly believe that Su and Vince will let the fans see what a real dunk is."

TNT TV, Smith strongly supported Su Feng and Carter in the middle of commentating on the game between the Raptors and the Pistons.

And this time...

Public opinion completely exploded.

Because now, the thing that fans hate the most is that there is no All-Star Game this season. Even if they want to see Su Feng and Carter's performance, they have to wait until next season...

So now the question is.

Which bastard who kept demanding high salaries caused the new season to be delayed?

Um...

Um!

You know, as early as when Jordan joined the Raptors, Jordan had whitewashed himself with Su Feng's help.

Because at that time, Su Feng bluntly stated that Jordan did not join the Raptors for money, after all, Jordan could not be short of money.

So...

This pot.

Can only be carried by the nth center Ewing...

As a result, the New York media, who were still sour about the Raptors, suddenly became the target of public criticism.

Even their former allies, the Los Angeles media, began to fire at them.

"Hiss—!"

On the 22nd, after defeating the Pistons and returning to Toronto, Su Feng silently felt sorry for Ewing in his heart as he watched the reporters changing faces three times a day.

Obviously, in this life, this "gorilla" is going to suffer early.
