Chapter 766 What?

What?!

Su Feng is going to participate in the dunk contest again?!

Around 11 AM local time in Miami on January 21st.

Along with the major American TV stations rushing to broadcast a video of Su Feng that had been pre-recorded...

From Florida to Toronto, from New York to Los Angeles...

The entire U.S. was like a pot of boiling water...

It was boiling!

"Are you really going to participate in the dunk contest?" Phoenix's "Solar King" McGrady immediately called Miami with concern.

"Really, could it be fake?" On the phone, Su Feng replied while changing his child's diaper.

"No... why did you think of participating in the dunk contest?" McGrady asked curiously.

"No... why can't I participate in the dunk contest?" Upon hearing this, Su Feng asked back.

McGrady: "..."

"Su, what I mean is, your popularity is already high enough...

You don't need to... participate in that dunk contest." After a pause, McGrady said.

"But, when I think about how my lovely fans want to see me perform in the dunk contest...

Tracy, you know me, I've always spoiled my fans the most." Su Feng laughed on the phone.

Heh...

My popularity is already high enough, so I don't need to participate in the dunk contest?

Damn it!

"In the Eastern Conference forward All-Star voting, 'Uncle Su Feng' and 'Uncle Tim' have occupied the starting positions for years.

And in the guard voting, besides 'Uncle Vince', there's also 'Uncle Allen', whose popularity is equally terrifying.

Also, after seeing this year's voting results, LeBron, you should also know...

Currently, there's a bunch of super guards with more votes than you." Curry continued to explain to James on the phone.

Upon hearing this, James knew that Curry wasn't exaggerating.

Because of a certain someone, let alone the fierce competition for All-Star starters in the East this time...

Even the substitutes...

Were not people who could squeeze in.

Just look at the Eastern Conference All-Star guards during this period...

Ray Allen, Francis, Marbury, Mike Bibby...

Excuse me, but could the little James, fresh out of the novice village, beat any of them in terms of popularity?

And even if James changed his registration position to center, which has always been the least popular, it wouldn't work.

Because during this period, all the centers in the East had to call Yao Ming "Dad"!

"LeBron, maybe in this year's dunk contest...

You'll lose to 'Uncle Su Feng' because of the judges' biased scores, just like 'Uncle Vince' back then.

But believe me, as long as people mention 'Uncle Su Feng's' performance in this dunk contest in the future...

They will definitely remember you!" This day, Curry's words became the final blow to James.

Because after weighing the pros and cons...

James knew that as long as he decided to participate in this year's dunk contest, he could ride on Su Feng's popularity-generating machine.

"But LeBron... if you can't beat Su in this dunk contest, then in the future, when people talk about you and Su..."

As for James's idea of participating in the dunk contest, his staff, who have always been committed to packaging James into a national idol, also advised James against it at the first opportunity.

It's a pity...

As a die-hard fan, no one in this league knows better than James how perverted Su Feng is.

Going all out to catch up with Su Feng has become the lifelong goal of this little James.

But as for the certainty of catching up with Su Feng...

James himself wasn't sure.

Therefore, just like Stephen Curry said to him on the phone...

"The future? That's too far away!

LeBron, if you don't plan for the present, but only think about the distant future, then you will definitely end up with nothing!"

"I'm sorry, I choose to live in today, not tomorrow or the day after." This day, looking at his staff, James said with certainty.

And now...

In New York, Stern didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Perhaps, this is the kind of belief and spirit that Su brings to this era!" Looking at his assistant Mark, Stern said after sighing.

"What! Why didn't you tell me in advance that you decided to participate in the dunk contest?" In Toronto, Carter was anxious after learning that Su Feng had decided to participate in the dunk contest.

Because in Carter's eyes...

In the field of dunking, besides Su Feng, everyone else in this league is trash.

So, since Su Feng decided to participate, why didn't he notify him in advance?

"Withdraw! Withdraw! You must withdraw from this year's dunk contest!

My God, that kid from Akron, he's worthy of being your opponent?" On the phone, Carter expressed his strong dissatisfaction to Su Feng.

Upon hearing this, Su Feng, who was planning his second dunk in the final, almost laughed to death.

"Vince, you don't think you can win me if you compete with me again, do you?" Su Feng said to Carter.

"Of course! Let me tell you, these years, in order to compete with you again, I've been watching those streetball dunks online." Carter said confidently.

"Then why don't we... make a time and pick a place to compete?" Su Feng deliberately provoked Carter on the phone.

"No! If we're going to compete, then it has to be at the NBA dunk contest!" Carter said.

"Okay, then let me prepare.

After all, if my opponent is you, I can't compete with you this year without any preparation." Su Feng laughed.

"Okay! You said that, Su!" On the phone, Carter was immediately satisfied after hearing Su Feng's praise.

And at this time...

Where did the overly young Carter know that Su Feng was setting him up from the beginning?

Wait for Lavine and Gordon?

Those two kids, no matter how high their popularity and reputation are, can they compare to Carter and James?

Although the All-Star dunk contest and the regular season MVP have never been directly related.

However, after maximizing his performance on the court, Su Feng knew very well that only by using off-court public opinion could he complete the great achievement of three consecutive MVPs under Stern's rule!

And this is Su Feng's real purpose for wanting to compete with Carter again!

Using a battle that surpasses the battle of the century, to clear the obstacles on his road to winning the MVP!

As for this year?

That's just an appetizer.

...

On the 22nd, as the news of Su Feng's decision to participate in the Los Angeles All-Star Dunk Contest continued to spread, no one even paid attention to this year's Eastern and Western Conference starting lineups.

According to the final results of the four phases of voting this year, this year's Eastern Conference All-Star starters are no different from last year.

It's still the five most familiar Eastern Conference bullies for fans!

Yao Ming, Duncan, Su Feng, Carter, Iverson.

And in the West, during O'Neal's injury period, Kobe, whose average score soared to 32.9 points, became the only face of the West in the voting stage this year while sitting on the league's scoring champion throne.

In the final vote, if it weren't for Kobe's 1.95 million votes, you would even have to look at the seventh place in this year's total vote list to see the names of Western Conference stars.

According to the voting results, the 2004 Western All-Star starting lineup is as follows:

O'Neal, Garnett, Nowitzki, Kobe, McGrady.

Because of some well-known reasons...

In this year's All-Star starting vote, Nowitzki miraculously got 300,000 votes in the fourth phase of voting, and in one fell swoop surpassed Carmelo Anthony, who had always been ranked second in the forward position on the list.

And O'Neal, who only got 850,000 votes, was because there was really no one in the West who could compete with him in that position.

In the East, Ben Wallace, who transferred to the Pistons this year and won 1.6 million votes in the voting, shed tears after reading the voting results.

Because if Yao Ming's final vote hadn't been too terrifying...

If he, Ben Wallace, was transferred to the West, wouldn't he be able to rub that fat-headed fish in Los Angeles on the floor at will?

Like Su Feng's memory, because the Pistons' record this season is good...

So, this year, the united Motor City fans carried out a "rush ticket" campaign for Ben Wallace during the voting.

After all, in the Motor City "F5", in the eyes of the fans, Ben Wallace is the most star-like.

It's a pity...

Even if Ben Wallace raised his hands and gathered the energy of the entire Motor City, he was not Yao Ming's opponent.

Fortunately, the next day, in the Eastern and Western Conference reserve lists announced by the NBA officials, Ben Wallace finally won the favor of the judges.

In 2004, the Eastern Conference All-Star reserve list is as follows:

Ben Wallace, Ray Allen, Francis, Pierce, Jermaine O'Neal, Marbury, Artest.

In the new season, Artest, who transferred to the Pacers, can average 18.9 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

As the current Pacers' boss, Artest's selection for this year's NBA All-Star reserve is related to Stern's desire to maintain balance.

Because in the West, something infuriating to Nuggets fans happened.

In 2004, the Western Conference All-Star reserve list is as follows:

Nash, Kidd, Brand Miller, Peja Stojakovic, Hill, Gasol, Kirilenko.

This season, after Anthony joined the team, the Nuggets turned around their bad team image that they had left for many years in one fell swoop.

But...

Anthony's bizarre reversal by Nowitzki in the previous All-Star voting was one thing...

But why was Kirilenko selected for the All-Star reserve list instead of Anthony?

You know, the Jazz are currently tanking and rebuilding.

However...

Let alone the All-Star starter, in the end, even the reserve, Anthony didn't get it.

In Su Feng's previous life, it wasn't until the 06/07 season that Anthony first appeared on the All-Star stage.

Although the competition for the forward position in the West was indeed fierce at the time, as the Nuggets' leading star, even if Anthony relied on the division advantage in the 05/06 season to bring the Nuggets to the upper half of the West, he still failed to win the favor of the judges.

Because he was frequently exposed to negative news in the early stages of his career, Stern had never wanted to promote Anthony.

Not long after entering the league, Anthony was exposed to drug use and gun possession.

In addition to the marijuana incident, fighting with people in bars for his wife, and being involved in a series of negative news such as black society DVDs...

In the meantime, Anthony had long been on Stern's blacklist.

As we all know, Stern's biggest principle in promoting people is that you can have personality, you can make mistakes, but you must not do things that violate political correctness.

After all, Stern had finally managed to reverse the overall image of the NBA...

If American parents complain again that watching the NBA would teach their children bad things, who would Stern reason with?

Just like Stern never allows players in this league to express their opinions on other countries.

When it comes to principled issues, Stern would rather engage in "one-man rule, dictatorship, and behind-the-scenes operations" than see the NBA turn into a mess.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Stern is taking care of international players such as Gasol and Kirilenko besides Su Feng...

On the other hand, he is also issuing a warning to players like Anthony.

As a result, although many American media subsequently criticized the various shady scenes in the current league...

But because this year's Los Angeles All-Star Game, the number of international players participating in All-Star Weekend has reached a new historical high...

According to NBA officials, it is estimated that more than 1,500 reporters from all over the world will participate in the coverage of this All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.

In the United States, the status of the Super Bowl is still unshakable.

However, in the winter of 2004, Stern showed the world the influence of the NBA through internationalization.

...

In late January, before the start of All-Star Weekend, Su Feng was still continuing his "baby-sitting" journey.

As the season deepened, many teams in the league were plagued by injuries.

And this also included the Heat.

Because of Achilles tendinitis, Milicic missed nearly two weeks of Heat games in January.

And while making a layup, Ginobili, the number one favorite for this season's Best Sixth Man, also injured his knee.

Fortunately, Ginobili was fine after undergoing an MRI the next day.

Under Su Feng's suggestion, Riley, who has always been strict in governing the army, gradually reduced the playing time of the Heat players other than Su Feng after the start of February.

And although the Heat's number of losses has begun to increase recently under the hard schedule, Su Feng's personal performance this season has completely conquered Miami.

On February 17, after defeating the Jazz at home, before the start of Los Angeles All-Star Weekend, the Heat continued to rank third in the East with a record of 39 wins and 16 losses.

As of All-Star Weekend, Su Feng's personal data has risen to an average of 30.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 10.0 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game.

In addition, his average playing time of up to 44.5 minutes per game is the highest in the league.

This season, Su Feng has made breakthroughs in many technical statistics.

For example, his finishing rate of up to 74% under the basket.

For example, his average of 3.3 turnovers per game, which is the lowest in recent years.

And to quote ESPN, in today's league, you can no longer find a second person who is more efficient and durable than Su Feng.

"He's like a precise machine!

Leading the Miami Heat all the way forward as if he doesn't know fatigue!"

You know, this season, there are only 3 players in the league who have exceeded 10 assists.

Among them, Nash, who averages 11.5 assists per game, has 3.6 turnovers.

Kidd, who averages 10.5 assists per game, has an average of 3.2 turnovers per game.

Therefore, from the perspective of assist-to-turnover ratio, if it weren't for Su Feng really playing such data...

Fans would not dare to believe that he could do it.

"Brother Feng can really organize! My youth is over!"

"Is this Su Feng, the new generation of organizational master in the league? Love it, love it!"

"No exaggeration, just talking about passing, Brother Feng has completely exploded Jordan, right?"

In Su Feng's original timeline, in the 16/17 season, when Westbrook created the myth of "30+ triple-doubles", his average number of turnovers per game reached an astonishing 5.4 times.

And this also made many people think that besides hard stuffing and breakthrough, Westbrook is not really good at organizing.

However, this season, combining on-court performance and actual data...

How can you let the Feng haters hate Su Feng for hard stuffing and brushing assists?

Hiss...

Since we can't hate on passing, then can we hate on Su Feng's rebounds?

With Su Feng's rebounds, you can't say that he didn't rely on his teammates' positioning to brush rebounds, right?

"This is really incredible!

As a player who is also only '198' cm tall, no one knows better than me how painful it is to grab rebounds from those big guys in NBA games!

However, Su really did it!

This season, through technical statistics and the intuitive feeling on the court, we can find that Su's rebounding ability can even make many centers ashamed!"

On TNT TV, Barkley praised Su Feng by name in a review program before All-Star Weekend.

Sorry, this season, Su Feng's average number of offensive rebounds is as high as 3.6!

So hate him for brushing rebounds?

In the history of the NBA, have you seen a small forward who can grab offensive rebounds better than him?

Although Su Feng's average of 3.6 offensive rebounds per game is not as shocking as Barkley's average of 5.7 offensive rebounds per game back then...

But if Su Feng's rebounding composition is all brushed...

Then you can't say that O'Neal and Duncan's rebounds are also brushed, right?

In the 03/04 season, Duncan's average offensive rebounds per game was 3.3.

And O'Neal's average offensive rebounds per game was 3.9.

Therefore, if you cover Su Feng's name and only look at his rebounding data and rebounding composition, you would definitely think he is a seven-foot tall man.

...

On the 18th, with Ginobili and Milicic, who participated in the Rookie Challenge, and Korver, who participated in the Three-Point Contest, the "Heat All-Star Weekend F4 Sightseeing Group" officially arrived in the "City of Angels".

As a result, as soon as he got off the plane, Su Feng was "robbed" by a masked man in Los Angeles.

"No, why are you wrapping yourself up like a rice dumpling?" Looking at Kobe, Su Feng asked curiously.

"Isn't this to give you a surprise?" After tearing off his carefully prepared mask, Kobe said to Su Feng.

Su Feng: "..."

Lao Ke!

Do you know, even across the Pacific Ocean, I can find you with your unique temperament.

Because in addition to Korver, the other two had been brutally beaten by Su Feng in Miami with Kobe last summer, so after chatting for a few words, Milicic and Ginobili also opened their mouths.

"Not bad, not bad, this kid performed much better than I thought before.

So, it's not unreasonable to say that as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded." On the way to pick up Su Feng and his party for lunch, Coach Ke praised Milicic by name.

Upon hearing this, Su Feng shook his head and thought, if it weren't for Milicic really having talent, would you let him work hard again?

"By the way, where are you planning to take us?" Looking at Kobe's skillful driving skills with envy, Su Feng asked curiously.

"Since we've come to Los Angeles, there's no reason not to eat 'Flame Pizza', right?" While waiting for the traffic light, Kobe looked at Su Feng like he was an idiot.

Su Feng: "..."

As Kobe's brainchild back then, in the past two years, "Flame Pizza" has become the most popular pizza chain in Los Angeles.

And, according to Kobe's next plan, even if he loses money, he will open this pizza shop in every city where the NBA team is located.

And after learning about the locations of the "Flame Pizza" branches besides Los Angeles, Su Feng seems to understand a bit why Kobe suddenly broke out before.

Good guy!

So you're opening a pizza shop to make money is fake, and eating pizza to satisfy your cravings and stacking buffs for yourself before the game is real?

"Oh, right, Vanessa's due date is coming soon, right?" After arriving at the Los Angeles flagship store of "Flame Pizza", looking at Kobe with saliva already dripping from the corners of his mouth, Su Feng asked.

"Yeah, I'm about to become the father of two children." Looking at Su Feng, Kobe was immediately happy at the thought that he was about to usher in his second successor.

"Has Vanessa had a checkup yet? Did she tell you whether this baby is a boy or a girl?" After the pizza was served, as the most professional chef in this league, Su Feng asked while tasting the pizza-making process of this pizza shop.

Upon hearing this, Kobe shook his head.

"I told her not to tell me, but I've already guessed it from her expression.

This time, she's definitely pregnant with a boy.

Alas, although I also like daughters very much...

But Su, you also know that we stinky ball players, who doesn't want a boy, so we can watch him enter the NBA like us in the future?"

Su Feng: "..."

Alright...

Then Su Feng will wait for Kobe to open the blind box himself.

Because as one of Vanessa's best girlfriends, Su Feng had already learned from Britney and Vanessa's chat that Vanessa was also pregnant with a daughter this time.

In the original historical trajectory, this poor child did not wait until the day she opened her eyes to see the world.

But in this life, Kobe's future daughters will undoubtedly have another older sister.

To be honest.

In Su Feng's eyes, Beckham and Kobe are really two strange people.

The former, in order to have a daughter, worked hard with Posh for more than ten years before having Little Seven.

And Kobe, in order to have a successor, staged a wave of "four iron castings".

Oh no!

In this life, it should be zero out of the first five shots!

On the 18th, Kobe, who was in a good mood, not only treated the "Miami F4" to dinner, but even acted as a tour guide for these four people and took them around Los Angeles.

And in the evening, it was originally agreed that Kobe would host a banquet for Su Feng and others at home...

But inexplicably...

Su Feng became Kobe's cooking tool.

"I'm a dignified three-time NBA regular season MVP, three-time Finals MVP, and I have to cook for myself when I come to your house?" In Kobe's mansion in Los Angeles, Su Feng was stunned.

"Oh, my best brother, for the sake of Vanessa being about to give birth, I don't think you would want to see her being too tired, right?" Pointing to a pile of high-end ingredients that had been prepared in advance in the kitchen, Kobe looked at Su Feng with his wise eyes.

Su Feng: "..."

"Alas, you said that if Jerry had also chosen you to come to Los Angeles back then, wouldn't I have been able to have a 'Pippen' at the same time...

I can also eat delicious meals every day?" That night, looking at Su Feng's handsome figure wielding a knife in the kitchen, Kobe said with emotion.

"Come on, if I had been selected by the Lakers back then, you would definitely be my 'Pippen'." After "dismembering" a piece of "Kobe beef", Su Feng said to Kobe.

And just when Su Feng was ready to continue discussing with Kobe who was whose Pippen...

"If that's the case... it seems not bad?" Touching his chin, Kobe said subconsciously.

Su Feng: "..."

Oh my God!

Ke, do you know what you just said?

Although Kobe quickly denied what he had just said to Su Feng after he realized it.

But following Kobe's words just now, Su Feng also confessed to Kobe: "If you are really willing to be my 'Pippen' on the court, then I will cook for you for the rest of my life."

Kobe: "..."

Looking at Su Feng's face, which was as handsome as his, for a moment, Kobe was only one step away from saying "Is this true?".

On the 18th, amidst laughter and laughter, the Miami F4 spent their first night at All-Star Weekend like this.

And on the 19th, early in the morning, Su Feng went to work for Stern.

In several famous poor communities in Los Angeles, Su Feng and other members of the Eastern and Western Conference All-Star teams participated in the usual charity activities together.

And in the afternoon, when interviewed, the most frequently asked question to Su Feng was what kind of stunt he planned to use in this year's dunk contest.

"I think this is definitely a performance that fans have never seen before.

I will win the championship in one fell swoop with 4 perfect score dunks."

As the number one favorite to win the dunk contest, if an ordinary person said such a thing, they would definitely be criticized for being too arrogant.

But Su Feng's words greatly whetted people's appetite.

Because anyone who has watched the 2000 dunk contest will not question Su Feng's performance ability in dunking.

"We all know that LeBron James has also signed up for the dunk contest this year, do you think he will cause you trouble?" The reporters asked.

"LeBron is smart and works hard, but for the dunk contest, I think my opinion is the same as Vince's.

That is, my opponent is only him, and his opponent is also only me." Facing the reporters, Su Feng said bluntly.

Su Feng knew very well that no matter what kind of moves James had prepared in private, his model determined that he was more suitable for actual combat dunks, rather than like himself and Carter, who could both perform and fight.

In Su Feng's original timeline, James's decision not to participate in the dunk contest also had this reason.

"Then in the future, can we still see you and Vince dueling in the dunk contest?" After Su Feng brought the memories back to 2000, the reporters asked excitedly.

"Of course! In fact, before coming to Los Angeles, I had already agreed with Vince.

If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely compete again!" And the next second, as the reporters in the audience exploded after getting Su Feng's affirmative answer.

Oh my goodness!

Is this the number one traffic in the basketball world who relies on his own strength to support basketball reporters all over the world?

In the reporters' opinion, Su Feng's words alone are enough to cause the entire North American internet to be down for a whole day!

And in New York, after Stern learned that Su Feng and Carter were planning to perform again in the future...

The little Jewish old man was only one step away from running to Su Feng, kneeling down and calling Su Feng "Dad".

"This half of my life and the glory of the NBA today were all given by Su Feng!"

That day, looking at the NBA staff who were arranging the All-Star Rookie Challenge at the Staples Center tomorrow night, Stern seemed to have become twenty years younger overnight.

On the evening of the 20th, the appetizer of All-Star Weekend, the Rookie Challenge, was served first.

As a result, the 03 Golden Generation, who had said before the game that they wanted to pay tribute to the seniors who had defeated the sophomores in 2002, ushered in a day that made them very heartbroken.

Under the leadership of Stoudemire and Ginobili, the sophomores used only one pick-and-roll tactic to make the 03 Golden Generation feel the gap in experience points.

In the end, the score of this game was 114 to 135.

Ginobili, who contributed 22 points and 17 assists to the sophomores, and Stoudemire, who scored 35 points and 16 rebounds in the game, jointly won the MVP of this year's Rookie Challenge.

On the 03 Golden Generation's side, under the premise of fighting on their own, Anthony, James, and Wade all joined the family of scoring in vain.

On the 21st, as the highly anticipated individual competition day of this year's All-Star Weekend, Nash, who played for the Golden State Warriors, easily won the championship in the Skills Challenge that was held first.

Immediately afterward, in the Three-Point Contest, Korver, who was widely recognized as the number one favorite to win the championship before the game, due to his poor performance in the preliminaries...

In the end, this guy didn't even make it to the finals.

Like Su Feng's memory...

Korver's performance in the Three-Point Contest has always been very anxious.

Fun fact.

As the most accurate man on this planet, Korver has never won the Three-Point Contest in his career.

In the end, it was still Nash who laughed last on this night.

Because his career trajectory was also affected by a certain person, Nash, who had become the boss of the Warriors after leaving Toronto, signed up for the Skills Challenge and the Three-Point Contest this year in order to accumulate popularity for himself.

On TNT TV, looking at Nash, who walked to the center of the stage for the second time on this night to receive the championship trophy, Barkley laughed: "If Steve also participates in the dunk contest, it will be interesting."

And on the side, Smith always felt that this flying pig was here to be funny.

Because let alone performing fancy dunks...

As long as Nash can dunk the ball in, Smith is willing to give Nash 50 points!

In the center of the venue, after the individual events ended one after another, the Staples Center also ushered in a climax moment.

As an entertainment event, in the eyes of Los Angeles fans, it should be harmless for them to be Honey for a day.

So, in the moment when the lights were turned off, countless fans at the scene chose to take off their coats.

And when the lights were restarted...

The Staples Center had already turned into a white sea!

In this era without bullet screens.

At this moment, the atmosphere at the scene was like encountering a high-energy moment when chasing a drama series.

And in the cheers of the fans at the scene...

The bullet screen that is being swiped is:

"Welcome Your Majesty!"

In the center of the venue, when entering the venue, the other contestants, including Little James, consciously took a step back.

And at the edge of the court, those Hollywood stars that you are familiar with have already turned into one emoticon after another.

Due to the friendship forged on Christmas Eve, Tom Brady waved a towel on the side of the court and shouted: "Your king is here, Los Angeles!"

On TNT TV's live broadcast seat, Smith shouted: "I don't care what kind of performance others will make later.

I only care about how Su will blow up the Staples this year!

Ladies and gentlemen, please open your eyes and look forward to it!

The man we call 'God of Dunk', returns to the stage of the dunk contest tonight!"
