Silently Writing
Chapter 67 The Most Arrogant Mascot in History!
The morning of the 9th was the Eastern All-Stars' practice time.
As a result, the training session was already halfway through, but this year's Eastern Conference head coach, John Miller, hadn't seen Su Feng's shadow yet.
"No."
"I'm not familiar with him."
"Kobe, have you seen Su?" Looking at Kobe, who was practicing dunks with a Ronald McDonald in the training hall, John Miller asked.
Kobe shook his head. "I swear, Coach, I definitely haven't seen Su today."
"Well, you practice your dunks first. You're the main attraction of today's dunk contest." John Miller patted Kobe on the shoulder and said.
Kobe nodded, and then continued to practice dunks happily with Ronald McDonald, following the dunk moves Su Feng had explained to him yesterday.
"Oh well, the training session isn't a big deal anyway, maybe he overslept." John Miller thought.
...
Evening of the 9th, Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.
Inside this "basketball arena," temporarily erected at the home stadium of the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers, the "protagonists" of this year's McDonald's All-American Game took the stage one after another.
Tonight's events were the three-point contest and the dunk contest.
However, just as the three-point contest was about to begin, the staff of the event organizing committee were dumbfounded.
Because they couldn't find Su Feng.
Looking at the players who were already warming up on the court, Williams, who was in charge of the three-point contest, was about to die of anxiety.
Where was this guy?
Could such a big, living person just disappear?
"Jason, what should we do now?"
After sending staff to search for Su Feng again without success, Williams asked his superior, Jason.
Jason smiled slightly and said unhurriedly, "What's the rush? You'll see Su when the competition starts."
Williams: "???"
Why did he feel like something was happening that he didn't know about?
"Okay, tell the staff to stop looking and just enjoy the show." Jason said to Williams.
This year's superior was so difficult to serve...
Looking at Jason's calm expression, Williams really wanted to say to him, "Bro, since you know everything, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Did all the big shots like to torment their subordinates by being cryptic?
...
Although the main event was tomorrow night, the entire Heinz Field was already packed by 8 PM.
With the introduction of the hosts, the four participants in this year's three-point contest, Stephen Jackson, Mike Bibby, Corey Benjamin...
Wait, weren't there supposed to be four contestants?
The host looked at his cue card and read Su Feng's name several times, but no one came out of the players' tunnel.
"What's going on?" The host looked at Jackson, Bibby, and Benjamin with pleading eyes.
However, these three were also dumbfounded at this moment.
The three of them spread their hands, indicating that they didn't know what was happening.
"He hasn't been to any training sessions since this morning." Jackson said to the host.
Host: "..."
What the heck?
Then how was he supposed to host this?
Just as the host was in a deadlock, suddenly, the "Ronald McDonald" who had been squatting on the sidelines ran to the center circle of the court.
He held a huge water gun in his left hand and a simple stick figure drawing in his right hand. "Haha, can't find Su, can you?
I'm telling you, I've captured Su and taken him to Planet M78 to make hamburgers.
If you want Su back, then you must defeat me in the three-point contest!"
"..."
On the sidelines, Jason and Kobe, who had seen this scene and knew the plot in advance, were laughing like crazy.
That's right, this Ronald McDonald was none other than Su Feng in disguise.
Originally, Su Feng wanted to slick back his hair, wear cool sunglasses, and walk out with a cigar.
But because this whole thing needed to be communicated with McDonald's in advance, after meeting Jason Lee, the Vice President of McDonald's Operations and Promotions responsible for this event, Su Feng suddenly had a better idea.
"You mean, you want to dress up as Ronald McDonald and participate in the three-point contest?"
When Jason heard Su Feng's idea, he was first surprised, and then after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly felt that it seemed like a good idea?
The reason why Su Feng had this idea was because Kyrie Irving, nicknamed Uncle Drew in the future, had played similar creative stunts.
And since he was going to make a scene, he naturally had to create a surprise for the fans.
"But... if you compete dressed as Ronald McDonald, your performance..." Jason asked worriedly at the time.
"It doesn't matter, isn't the most important thing about the All-Star Game entertainment?"
Performance?
Could the performance of a McDonald's All-American three-point contest be written into Su Feng's future NBA resume?
Frankly speaking, it would be better to write on his resume that he had a 50-50 record with Kobe in high school.
In this way, Su Feng was responsible for coming up with ideas, and Jason was responsible for arranging people to do Su Feng's makeup.
During the training session this morning, in order to adapt to the Ronald McDonald disguise in advance and to make sure he wouldn't be recognized, Su Feng deliberately strolled around in front of his Eastern Conference teammates during training.
However, at that time, these teammates of the Eastern Conference thought that this was just the daily routine of the mascot.
Who would have thought that the mascot in front of them was their dear teammate Su Feng?
...
Heinz Field, after Su Feng appeared, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly changed.
Especially the fans sitting in the front row, after hearing Su Feng's lines, were very curious about what would happen next.
The host didn't know how to continue hosting, but fortunately, at the critical moment, Jason sent a staff member who had also seen the script to the court.
"You mean, you want us to compete with this mascot?" Bibby and Jackson felt that this was too magical...
"Yes, and this is a formal competition, good luck!" The staff said to the three participants.
Okay...
Could it be that Su Feng was really captured by Planet M78 to make hamburgers?
As a member of the Eastern Conference, Stephen Jackson felt that he had an obligation to rescue Su Feng.
So, in the same order as before the game, "Martial Saint" Jackson took the lead.
However, perhaps because he was so eager to save Su, Jackson was not in good shape and only scored 10 points...
The moment Jackson finished the competition, Su Feng suddenly raised his huge water gun and squirted Jackson in the face.
"Your performance is really terrible!" Su Feng said plausibly.
Jackson was not angry, but laughed foolishly.
At this time, the fans at the scene knew that this was probably an interesting program prepared by the event organizer.
Under the explanation of a commentator who had also seen the script, everyone had guessed the general plot direction.
In short, Jackson, Bibby, and Benjamin had to defeat this Ronald McDonald.
Otherwise, Su Feng would have to be locked up on Planet M78 making hamburgers for the rest of his life.
"Come on, Mike!"
On the court, when Bibby was about to play, some children at the scene were cheering for Bibby.
Although they liked to eat McDonald's, in their opinion, this Ronald McDonald who appeared on the court tonight must be a bad uncle.
"Interesting, so interesting, Williams, do you know, Su is simply a genius in advertising."
In the stands, Jason suddenly felt at this moment that inviting Su Feng to endorse McDonald's seemed like a pretty good idea?
However, Williams, who was kept in the dark next to Jason, had no idea what Jason meant by interesting.
On the court, the resourceful Bibby had already seen through everything.
So before taking the stage, after hearing the children's cheers, Bibby pounded his chest three times. "Don't worry, I will bring Su back from Planet M78."
As a result, Bibby's performance was really better than Stephen Jackson's, he scored 19 points.
But did you think that 19 points wouldn't get you a face full of water?
Su Feng, who had already filled his ammunition, directly shot Bibby in the face with a Water Style-Water Dragon Bullet.
Bibby: "..."
Okay, although he knew this was a show, Bibby swore that he would definitely beat up this damn mascot in the backstage later.
Then, it was Benjamin's turn to play, but Benjamin's performance was even worse than Jackson's, only scoring 9 points...
Then, after being sprayed by Su Feng, Su Feng suddenly threw the water gun aside. "With your performance, you still want to save Su?
Heh, watch carefully, you runner-ups, what is called real skill."
Bibby, Jackson, Benjamin: "..."
Perhaps, this was the most arrogant mascot in the history of the McDonald's All-American Game.
On the court, when Su Feng took the stage, there was a burst of boos from the scene.
Especially many children asked their parents to boo Su Feng on the court with them.
"Bad guy!"
"Bad uncle!"
"Give us back Su!"
Su Feng was amused, and before preparing to start the game, he shook his finger at the children in the stands.
"I have never seen such an arrogant mascot!"
Bibby next to him had secretly clenched his fist, ready to go up and punch this mascot as soon as the game was over.
Oh, right, he had to pull Jackson along at that time, and then after the beating, he would put the blame on Jackson.
Swish, swish, swish, clang, swish!
However...
The following scene shocked all the viewers.
Coming out under the boos, Su Feng, wearing a mascot costume, stunned everyone at the first zero-degree angle.
Although this costume restricted Su Feng's performance, fortunately, Ronald McDonald's costume was not as bulky as the mascot costumes he had worn in his previous life to chase girls.
In addition, although he didn't think the game results were important, Su Feng would still do his best as long as it was a game.
So in the morning, in addition to accompanying Kobe to practice dunks, Su Feng also took some time to adapt to the limitations that this costume brought to him.
In general, no matter how restricted he was, he couldn't stop Su Feng's feel at this moment.
In a completely relaxed mood, Su Feng felt that he was even more accurate at this moment.
Swish, swish, swish, clang, clang!
After all the points were shot, Su Feng scored a total of 18 points!
Unfortunately, although he felt good, Su Feng had two flower balls that unfortunately bounced off the rim at the back few points.
However, after Su Feng showed off his skills, the scene was completely shocked.
Damn, who is this mascot?
Why is he so awesome?
Those people who were still booing Su Feng began to cheer for Su Feng.
In the stands, Jason stood up and applauded Su Feng, saying, "He is a genius!"
Of course, according to the rules of the three-point contest, Su Feng and Bibby still had a final round to play.
The fans at the scene were now guessing the real identity of this Ronald McDonald.
After all, could a mascot really defeat these high school geniuses in the three-point contest?
"Su, your idea is too awesome." On the court, Bibby had already guessed that this mascot was Su Feng.
Because have you ever seen a mascot with such a handsome shooting posture?
"Can you keep it a secret for me for a while?" Su Feng, who was disguised as Ronald McDonald, patted Bibby on the shoulder and said.
"Of course, but I remember the time you squirted me." Bibby smiled and said.
Su Feng: "..."
Okay...
Turns out, you always have to pay back when you come out to play.
Heinz Field, when the three-point contest final began, many fans at the scene had left their seats.
Because they were very curious about whether this Ronald McDonald could be a dark horse to the end.
In the final, Su Feng took the lead, but this time his performance was not as good as the preliminary round, only scoring 13 points.
But every time he scored, there would be cheers from the scene.
And just as Su Feng was preparing to follow the second script to bring the real Su Feng back from Planet M78, on the court, he never expected that Bibby's performance would be even worse than his.
The young "White Devil" only scored 10 points in the final...
"Don't look at me like that, I really didn't throw the game." Bibby was about to cry, the boos at the scene made him very uncomfortable when he was shooting in the final.
Wait...
Wasn't I supposed to go save Su Feng?
Don't you people want to bring Su Feng back from Planet M78?
So, Su Feng never expected that he would actually lift the McDonald's three-point contest championship as Ronald McDonald.
"Okay, although they lost to me, I think I still have to release Su from Planet M78."
On the court, after the award ceremony, with the help of two staff members, Su Feng began the final performance.
One of them was responsible for taking off the clothes, and the other was responsible for removing Su Feng's makeup.
Before long, Su Feng completed the gorgeous transformation from Ronald McDonald to Su Feng.
"Oh my god! He is actually Su?"
"He actually wore a Ronald McDonald costume and won the championship?"
"Unbelievable, this is the best three-point contest I have ever seen!"
Heinz Field, the moment Su Feng transformed back, the entire stadium instantly erupted with deafening cheers.
Kobe took the initiative to step forward and put his arm around Su Feng, laughing, "You've really stolen the show this time."
"There's still your dunk contest next, believe me, tonight we will definitely 'blow up' this stadium." Su Feng, who was being held by Kobe in a strongman lock, said.
Kobe nodded. "I specially practiced those moves you told me about a bit more this afternoon, don't worry."
Su Feng felt that he was really something else...
"I really am a loyal Kobe fan!" Su Feng thought with emotion.
And just as Kobe and Su Feng were preparing to continue to make trouble...
In the stands, Speed, the confidant of NBA executive Mark, could no longer restrain his excitement.
Honestly, why did it feel like the McDonald's All-American Game was better than the NBA All-Star Game?
Speed felt that it was necessary for him to immediately send everything he saw today back to New York!
