Chapter 146 Meteor Dunk

The Gund Arena. Five minutes into the first half of the Rookie Challenge, the game went into its first official timeout of the night.

As with future Rookie Challenges, this Rookie Challenge was divided into two 20-minute halves.

The pace of both teams was very fast tonight, mainly because both point guards were famous "fast men" in the NBA.

"Su Feng hasn't scored yet in this game. I think he's saving his energy for the All-Star game the day after tomorrow," Sun Zhengping commented during the timeout.

"Definitely! Look at Su Feng chatting and laughing with his teammates on the bench. The Eastern Team is like one big happy family.

Look at the Western rookies. They all look miserable, as if they've already lost the game," Zhang Guidao said with a smile.

Beside him, Su Junyang, looking a bit green, listened to the two commentators and silently wiped the sweat from his forehead, because at this moment, he didn't know how to respond.

On the court, neither team made any substitutions after the timeout.

During this period, the Rookie Challenge had nine roster spots for each of the Eastern and Western Conferences. If a player was injured and had to withdraw, there were no replacement players.

Take tonight's Western Team, for example. After Marbury and Samaki Walker withdrew due to injuries, they only had seven players who could actually play.

In Su Feng's previous life, Kobe was able to score 30+ points in this game, largely because the Western Team had no one else to use and could only rely on him.

On the court, the Western Team attacked. Because Raheem had tasted the sweetness of playing pick-and-rolls with Nash before, he took the initiative to go to the high post and set a pick-and-roll with Nash.

You know, Nash is the kind of guy that...

Even if his defense is terrible, you'd still want him as a teammate.

In Su Feng's previous life, there was a famous joke about the Suns:

You must always stay focused on the court, because Nash's pass could come at any moment.

And in the Kobe-hater circles, there was a similar joke:

The Lakers' big men must concentrate when playing on the court and be ready to grab rebounds at any time, because you never know where Kobe will shoot from next.

But...

After being Kobe's teammate for two years in this life, Su Feng felt that those people were just hating for the sake of hating.

How could the dignified "Pennsylvania Magic" be turned into a little iron blacksmith by this group of "deranged" "Kobe-haters"? Was it the temptation of sandwiches, or was the pizza too delicious?

Stay tuned for this episode of "Close to O'Neal" entitled "That Damn Rebound."

Ahem, back to the matter at hand.

Raheem went down, but as he received Nash's pass, he was preparing to dunk when he was hit in the chest by Big Ben's iron elbow.

The referee blew his whistle. Raheem covered his chest, not daring to complain, and walked to the free-throw line with tears in his eyes.

During this period, the All-Star Game was full of physical play. Many people were performing on the court at the risk of retirement.

Raheem made both free throws, 14-17. The Western Team was still down by 3 points.

Back on the other end, Iverson saw that Nash's defense was too loose, and he had no desire to attack him at all. After yawning, he passed the ball to Su Feng.

Meanwhile, Fisher desperately entangled Ray Allen.

Judging by Fisher's defensive attitude, it was clear that he had received a death stare education during the timeout.

Don't underestimate Fisher's playing time being more than Kobe's in the Lakers during this period, but that was because Fisher had played in college, and his physical qualities were better able to adapt to NBA competition.

Fisher, well-versed in scheming, had already decided to cling to Kobe's Achilles tendon when the Lakers drafted Kobe.

Um...

In the future, until Kobe's Achilles tendon could no longer bear Fisher's "weight," Fisher cleverly transferred to the Thunder, which had the Three Young Masters at the time.

Then, there was the story of the Beard crying in the bathroom.

Speaking of which, Ray Allen had a good touch today. He scored 8 of the Eastern Team's 17 points and contributed 3 assists to Su Feng.

It was a pity that this guy played too reasonably.

After Fisher used a strongman lock on him, Ray Allen had no desire to receive the ball.

Although Ray Allen could also break through at this time, in Su Feng's view, his inherent rationality meant that he would not be able to compare with the Four Shooting Guards in terms of fame in the future.

On the court, seeing that his teammates had cleared the stage for him, Su Feng didn't hesitate to take out his BKB and Doppelganger Axe to become the big brother.

Kobe excitedly set up his defensive stance, "Su, come on, let me see the strength of an All-Star starter!"

Su Feng: "..."

For some reason, Su Feng felt like he had heard this sentence somewhere before.

On the court, Su Feng dribbled with his left hand and protected the ball with his right, breaking through Kobe's defense on the right side.

Unfortunately, Kobe anticipated Su Feng's breakthrough.

Because after watching Su Feng's snowy night beat Wu Huang in a one-on-one yesterday, Kobe knew that Su Feng had been working hard on his left-hand dribbling recently.

Who knows Su Feng best in this league?

Besides him, Kobe, who else could it be?

However, Kobe didn't know that Su Feng had anticipated his anticipation.

Who knows Kobe best in this league?

Besides him, Su Feng, who else could it be?

Boom!

This was an exquisite Crossover!

Su Feng directly switched from left hand to right hand, breaking through Kobe's strongman lock.

Under Grover's guidance, Su Feng, whose ball-handling speed had increased to 85, didn't give Kobe a chance to chase back this time.

After taking two light steps, Su Feng gracefully took off on the third step!

This was a heroic and tender double-handed layup!

After scoring, Su Feng smiled and said to Kobe, "Kobe, I'm not the same person I used to be."

"The old me might have given you a chance to win once or twice in a one-on-one.

But the current me, if we play a hundred times, you won't win even once."

On the court, after stabbing Kobe in the heart, Su Feng didn't care about Kobe's eyes, which were as big as eggs, and ran away.

And it was worth mentioning that Kobe wasn't too uncomfortable.

Because he was used to Su Feng's shamelessness, but just as he was about to run to the frontcourt, Ray Allen, who was passing by, suddenly retorted:

"So, it turns out that you were lying when you said in Chicago that Su had never beaten you in high school.

I knew it. How could a player like Su lose to you?"

Ray Allen's subtle expression when he delivered the fatal blow drove Kobe crazy.

Because he knew what Ray Allen meant!

Seriously, it was a pity that a finisher like Ray Allen wasn't Su Feng's bodyguard.

This time, when the Western Team attacked, Kobe, with fire in his eyes, kept signaling to Nash.

Nash, who was still immersed in the artistic masterpiece of passing, immediately woke up.

In an instant, Little Nash transformed from a ball-controlling point guard to a dribbling point guard.

See, this was a future Lakers guard's self-cultivation!

On the court, after getting the ball, Kobe frantically carved out space on the wing.

However, after Su Feng gained weight in the summer, his current strength and weight were both above this young Mamba.

The current Young Master Kobe was still in the stage of cultivating both external and internal skills. He would have some success next season.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the game where he challenged Jordan next season, Kobe played a 50-50 game with Jordan, thus winning Jordan's reward of pouring him a cappuccino.

This time, Su Feng didn't move. Although he didn't know why Kobe suddenly lost his mind, Su Feng felt that his lost youth had returned when he was elbowed by Kobe.

That was the elbowing under the setting sun, that was the iron-blooded time of Lower Merion!

On the court, finding that he couldn't push Su Feng, Kobe had to forcibly turn over and jump shot to pay tribute to Jordan!

Clang!

On the sidelines, Young LeBron shook his head while eating a taco.

In his opinion, Kobe and Su Feng had formed a clear contrast. This big brother, who had been criticizing his traveling yesterday, was indeed a bad guy!

Emmmm...

Young LeBron had fallen in love with Su Feng's handsome style of play.

Everyone has a love for beauty. In Su Feng's previous life, before entering the NBA, besides Jordan, James' favorite star was McGrady.

In high school, he had repeatedly gone to the scene to watch McGrady play, and he had left a famous scene of being shocked by McGrady to the point of constantly biting his fingers.

Su Feng's "external skills" were all about practicing the coolest ones. How could he not be charming?

On the court, Big Ben handed the ball to Ray Allen after protecting the backcourt rebound.

After playing for a while, the honest Big Ben also saw that Iverson only wanted to play "team basketball" tonight.

This time, Ray Allen quickly dribbled the ball across the half-court.

On the court, he used a light crossover to shake Fisher away.

Little Fish, who finally got a starting opportunity tonight, was in trouble.

Because against Ray Allen, he didn't have an advantage in height, and he didn't have an advantage in speed. The only slight advantage he had in strength...

Ray Allen didn't like to back down and play reasonably.

Who could Fisher complain to?

However, before Ray Allen could charge into the restricted area, he encountered Kobe's help defense.

Biting his lips back and forth, Kobe had no other thought in his mind but to smash Ray Allen!

Die, Ray!

On the sidelines, just as Kobe was helping defend Ray Allen, Young LeBron stood up excitedly.

Because the figure he had been watching had rushed into the Western Team's restricted area!

There was no way...

No matter how good Kobe was at defending, he could only defend one person.

This time, you might not believe it, but the first person to intercept Su Feng in the Western Team's restricted area...

Was actually Nash.

The name of Center Nash was indeed well-deserved!

Raheem and Wright were both protecting the baseline this time. Although their defense was not good, Nash, who had outstanding defensive awareness, actively came over to help defend Su Feng after seeing Kobe go to help defend Ray Allen.

In Su Feng's previous life, if Nash's defense wasn't so active, who knows how many fewer top five plays there would be in the NBA?

On the court, after discovering Su Feng's movement, Ray Allen didn't think much and directly threw the ball towards the basket.

Because Su Feng had passed a lot of balls tonight, he felt that he couldn't narrow his own path.

Just as Ray Allen threw the ball towards the basket, Kobe immediately reacted!

Not good!

However, by the time Kobe wanted to turn back, it was too late to help defend Su Feng.

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

Center Nash, who was "191" centimeters tall, was dumbfounded!

Why did I run to the inside?

Trembling, he instinctively closed his eyes when he saw Su Feng take off.

Ah Wei is dead!

Bang!

After jumping up, Su Feng knocked down Nash in the air, his body tilting as he grabbed Ray Allen's pass.

Bang, swish!

This was a slam dunk that resembled Kobe's dunk over Nash in his previous life...

Pui, it was clearly "Meteor Dunk"!

The Gund Arena instantly erupted!

You have to say, "Meteor Dunk" was quite impressive when used.

However, in order to save his and Nash's 'sock friendship,' Su Feng hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up the extremely aggrieved Nash after "riding and dunking" on Nash.

Seriously, could those NBA big men be called big men?

They were all forcing Nash to come back and be a center. Was it easy for Nash?

A bunch of damn freeloaders!

On the sidelines, Young LeBron couldn't hold back any longer after witnessing the "Meteor Dunk"!

He, who had been holding back since the beginning of the game, suddenly stood up and opened his arms, "'The King'! That's 'The King'!"

"Hey, I say, kid, there's no need to make such a fuss, right? Sit down, you're blocking my view."

Just as James excitedly looked around, suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

And when James turned his head to look...

Young LeBron was dumbfounded.

Because that person was actually...

Michael Jordan!

I, I, I...

Oh my god!

Jordan was sitting right behind me all along?

Um...

"Old Rogue" had actually just arrived, because he had spent some effort persuading Pippen to come along.

Jordan knew the importance of this All-Star Game to the NBA, so he didn't want Pippen to annoy that little old man at this time because of personal reasons.

At this moment, James' excitement at seeing his idol was beyond words. He sat back in his seat somewhat tremblingly, and then Jordan suddenly asked, "Whose kid are you?"

"I..."

Young LeBron originally wanted to say that he was your fan.

But after seeing the figure on the court who had just dunked on his opponent and then very sportingly helped him up, James hesitated for a moment and said, "I come from Akron, and I'm Su's fan!"

Jordan: "..."

That was it!

There was nothing more to talk about!

Jordan didn't continue talking to James.

Because he heard a name that made his kidneys hurt as soon as he heard it recently.

And Pippen next to Jordan gave James an unhappy look, don't ask, it was all Su Feng's fault.

The young James didn't know where he had offended the great God of Basketball and his right hand in his words...

Or maybe Pippen's left hand.

Fortunately, 76ers legend Moses Malone smiled and stroked his head, "Little guy, can you tell me what aspects of Su you like?"

James said somewhat tremblingly, "I like his breakthroughs, shots, dunks, especially the 'Meteor Dunk'!"

"Very good, then do you know who the starting small forward for the Eastern All-Star team is this year?" Malone asked, while deliberately glancing at Pippen.

"Um, I know, it's Su!" James replied excitedly.

Malone covered his mouth and laughed for a while after hearing James' answer.

These old monsters were all more amusing than the last after retiring.

You had to know that Moses Malone was very happy to attack Pippen.

And Ewing, who had been dunked on by Pippen and suffered the humiliation of being crossed over, also disliked Su Feng in his heart, but compared to Pippen, Ewing had something to say!

Just as Malone was covering his mouth and snickering, Ewing also lovingly stroked James' head, "Little guy, then in your heart, is Su the best small forward in the East right now?"

Young LeBron nodded firmly. After experiencing the basketball dream incident yesterday, he was the most devout Su fan in the world!

At this moment, Pippen, who was sitting in the back row of James, suddenly wanted to find a staff member to kick James out.

Damn it!

Were you an actor hired by these old guys?

Of course, Pippen wasn't crazy to that extent.

But in that instant, Pippen glared at Jordan hatefully.

The meaning he wanted to express in that little look was very simple: I told you, I told you I wouldn't come, I told you these bastards would definitely complain about me, right?

The NBA's 50 greatest players were all masters of sarcasm.

On the side, Jordan patted Pippen on the shoulder to show comfort.

In Jordan's view, you were taking a child's words seriously?

However, Jordan didn't understand Pippen's inner suffering?

In Su Feng's previous life, after being slapped in the face by Jordan more and more times, Pippen, as Jordan's deputy, had actually attracted a lot of ridicule for Jordan.

God knows how much Pippen had contributed to the Bulls' two dynasties?

However...

Pippen was tired and didn't love anymore.

...

On the court, after Su Feng performed the "Meteor Dunk," this game completely entered a climax.

Kobe, who was a little sorry for Nash, also temporarily put away his death stare. The two teams exchanged blows, playing run-and-gun.

If there was any difference between Kobe in this life and Su Feng's previous life, it was that...

When this guy installed a passing key, he would make you feel like he had been possessed.

Kobe, who was labeled as "Magic," and Nash were making cakes for their teammates like crazy. Raheem and Wright were the beneficiaries, frequently staging alley-oop dunks.

The rabbits on TV were watching with great interest. During this period, the rabbits didn't have many entertainment activities. With the New Year approaching, watching TV and setting off firecrackers were the rabbits' main entertainment activities during the New Year.

Because the team was on holiday during the Spring Festival, Little Yao, who was feasting at home, was very happy.

At home, no one forced him to take a nap, so he could finally enjoy Brother Feng's performance.

"This child has been staring at the TV and giggling. Is there something wrong?" Little Yao's mother asked worriedly.

"That Su Feng is his idol. His coach called me and said to remember to remind him not to miss his nap because of watching the game," Little Yao's father said with a smile.

"It's the New Year, let him be happy for a while longer. Missing a nap won't hurt," Little Yao's mother said.

Hehehe...

No nap, so happy!

Brother Feng is so awesome!

The camera returned to the Gund Arena. At the end of the first half, the score between the two teams had reached 54-59.

In this era, and in a half-court game of only 20 minutes, this score was definitely considered a high score.

It was worth mentioning that during the halftime break, organized by NBA officials, the stars who attended tonight and the players of the rookie team together wrapped Tangyuan (sweet dumplings) in the center of the court.

Then, these Tangyuan were arranged by NBA staff into the Chinese characters "Happy New Year".

On the scene and in front of the TV, whether it was Zhang Weiping or the rabbits, they all felt extremely proud when they saw this scene.

If there was anyone in the NBA who was best at using people's hearts, it was undoubtedly David Stern.

No matter whether these stars were willing or not, for Stern's transoceanic bridge, whoever didn't come to lay this brick tonight was going against Stern.

Basketball was never politics.

Basketball was dealing with people.

Stern, who came to the scene tonight, was very satisfied with everyone's cooperation, but what made him a little regretful was...

Looking at the sensation caused by the "Meteor Dunk" that Su Feng dunked in the first half, Stern thought how great it would be if this move was put on the dunk contest?

Why did this child have to say that it was not the right time yet?

Forget it...

Stern was already satisfied with Su Feng.

Whether it was the Chinese market or the bright future of the NBA, in Stern's view, his global strategic plan had undoubtedly taken another big step forward on this night.

However, at this moment, Stern had no idea that Su Feng's surprise to him was far more than that...
