Chapter 144 [What are you McGrady?The all-star all-time vote king! 】10000 words sent
Suzy was sitting in a VIP seat at the American Airlines Center. Although Pat Riley said on TV that Wade was better than Suzy, when Wade said he would get a ticket for Suzy, he immediately arranged the best. Location: The first row of seats next to the home team's bench.

Pat Riley greeted Su Xi warmly. He asked Su Xi if the concussion was better, and highly appreciated Su Xi's performance at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Pat Riley is handsome, his hair is always shiny and meticulous, his manner is elegant, and his temperament is outstanding.

Standing together with Su Xi, he really has a pleasing look.

Su Xi had a polite and friendly exchange with him.

Then sit down and watch the game.

The Heat's lineup this season is very good. The Heat are currently ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference and have the energy to hit the upper half.

Heat president Pat Riley has a very high status in the NBA.His resume is perfect.

Since taking over the Los Angeles Lakers in 1981, his legendary road has begun.He led the Lakers to create the "SHOWTIME" era in the 80s, and won the championship four times in 82, 85, 87, and 88.During this period, the Lakers' style of play was gorgeous and their style of play was advanced. Lakers fans still miss it to this day.

Then, after a rift with Magic, Pat Riley headed to New York.In New York, the offensive coach who opened the show-time era taught students according to their aptitude, and quickly built the most terrifying defensive team in the league at that time, Iron Blood New York!The Knicks became a powerhouse in the East under his leadership. Without Jordan, the Knicks would definitely win the championship.If Ewing performed better in the finals, and if Starks didn't lose his standard outside the three-point line with his head fever, the Knicks would definitely have a championship.

But even so, no one has ever questioned Pat Riley's coaching ability.Because after he left New York, he once again turned Miami into a powerhouse in the East.

Although entering the 21st century, the Heat have experienced a brief downturn.

But now, look at the Heat lineup.A group of talented young people are growing rapidly.

The Heat have become the league's hottest youth army.

Their starters tonight are: Dwyane Wade, Eddie Jones, Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Brian Grant.

The Orlando Magic's starting lineup pales in comparison: Tyronn Lue, Girisek, McGrady, Juwan Howard, De Klerk.

The Magic are at the end of the Eastern Conference this season, and they have written bad reconstruction on their faces.

The only thing to watch for the Magic now is whether Tracy McGrady can win consecutive scoring titles.

In general, it is not difficult, because this is the only pursuit of the Magic team.

After the game started, Su Xi and Wang Zhizhi chatted.

Wang Zhizhi is currently playing for the Heat, but he is basically not promoted in China.He was a second-round pick in 1999 and entered the league in 00.Compared with Su Xi and Yao Ming who have become brilliant new stars with great potential, Wang Zhizhi's situation is more struggling.

He was selected by the Mavericks and played all the way from the Summer League and the Development League to the bench. After playing for the Mavericks for one year, the Clippers signed him for 1 years and 3 million.After playing in the Clippers for two seasons, the Clippers bought out his contract last week, and the Heat, which lacked insiders, quickly gave him a basic salary.

Wang Zhizhi was very happy to meet a Chinese-speaking compatriot in a foreign country. He chatted with Su Xi for a while, and what they talked about was not basketball, but Chinese food.

Su Xi said that he often ate a kind of powder in a steamer when he was a child, and asked Wang Zhizhi if he knew what it was.

He described it for a long time, Wang Zhizhi slapped his head, you are from Cantonese, you are talking about rice rolls, right?

Then Wang Zhizhi told Su Xi about northern snacks, such as bean juice, pancakes, and fried dough sticks.

The more he talked, the more sad he became, and the feeling of homesickness rushed into his heart.

This is not talking about food, it is clearly talking about nostalgia.

The game on the court was quite boring. Miami unilaterally slaughtered the Magic, and the Magic relied on McGrady to score.

McGrady probably saw Su Xi, he made crazy shots, and wanted to set a scoring record in this game.

However, the feel is not very good.

Stan Van Gundy replaced Wang Zhizhi with less than 2 minutes left in the first quarter.

This is Wang Zhizhi's first chance to play in Miami.

Su Xi didn't know how good Wang Zhizhi's basketball was, but he stood up and cheered for Wang Zhizhi.

Wade gave Su Xi a lot of face, and passed the first ball to Wang Zhizhi, asking him to go heads-up.

Defending Wang Zhizhi was the new Drew Gooden.

When Wang Zhizhi received the basketball, he hesitated.Su Xi stood on the sidelines and shouted in Chinese: "Old Wang, attack him on the left side, his lateral movement is very poor."

Su Xi's voice just fell.

Wang Zhizhi suddenly attacked to the right...Su Xi was a little unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhizhi quickly turned around as soon as he made a sudden step, wiped out Gooden's defense in an instant, took a step forward, and put the basketball into the basket with his right hand.

The ball won cheers from the American Airlines Center arena.

Yes, old Wang.

Su Xi raised her thumb.

This is the first time he has watched Wang Zhizhi play.

Wang Zhizhi's coordination ability is very good, he can use both left and right hands, and his feet are also very flexible.

The offense has a set.

Players who can get a second contract in the NBA have at least two brushes.

Later, Su Xi noticed Wang Zhizhi's defensive loopholes. He was indeed not very good at defending, and his positioning was not very precise.

On the one hand, it is because he has been influenced by the FIBA ​​system since he was a child. On the other hand, he may not have put too much energy on defense.

But in the NBA, at least in the 2003 NBA, as far as an insider is concerned, being strong on offense and weak on defense is the original sin.Defense is the foundation of the inside, which is why a guy like Dampier can get tens of millions of annual salary...can block, can stand up, can protect the basket, and is [-] feet tall...that's worth the old money.

Su Xi called two positions in Chinese. Wang Zhizhi is a player with a high basketball IQ.

He passed ahead of time... Just as McGrady burst in, he opened his arms to stop him.

Tracy McGrady pulls up for a jump shot... Wade rushes over and slaps the basketball out of bounds.

Madison Gardens is boiling.

Wade was particularly excited.The media always says that McGrady's shots cannot be blocked.

"I did it, Jack! I did it, Jack!" Wade shouted excitedly at Suzy.

Su Xi gave him a thumbs up.

If it were any other superstar, Su Xi's action might just be laughed off.

But he's Maddie, sensitive Tracy.

He can't rub the sand in his eyes. In his opinion, Su Xi is offending.

His impression of Su Xi dropped a bit: I'm afraid this kid didn't come to find fault with me on purpose, did he just want to take away my All-Star starter in this way?ridiculous!
Tracy McGrady catches the basketball and shoots directly from the three-point line... BANG!

strike iron.

Wang Zhizhi got the rebound, he took the ball two steps forward and passed it to Wade.

Big Van Gundy stood on the sidelines, and he nodded silently.

He was very satisfied with Wang Zhizhi's performance after playing.

At this time, Wade came over with the ball.

Just as Wang Zhizhi was about to run into the penalty area, Su Xi reminded him from the sidelines: pick and roll!pick and roll!
He subconsciously glanced at Stan Van Gundy, but still obeyed Suzy's reminder, he quickly reached the top of the arc, and Wade used his cover to attack.But he was entangled by Gooden and Tylen Lue.

He quickly turned back and passed to Wang Zhizhi, who shot from outside the three-point line... Shua!

hit.

Nice shot!
Very soft!
Su Xi held out her thumb again.

The American Airlines Center arena is also cheering.

Stan Van Gundy turned around. He was very relaxed now and couldn't help chatting with Su Xi: "Jack, your compatriot is very good."

"Yes. If we attack quickly, we can use him as a flank attack point at position 3." Su Xi said: "This is a misplaced offensive weapon."

Suzy's words gave Stan Van Gundy a very different train of thought.

He thought, yes.No one stipulates that the real height of 213 barefoot must play a center forward.

Su Xi's words changed Lao Wang's career.

Many times, many things are like this. An unintentional word involves a huge chain reaction, just like when a butterfly flaps its wings in the Amazon rainforest, it is impossible to imagine that it may cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later.

Su Xi sat back in his seat, and he didn't overwhelm the host.

However, Wang Zhizhi and Wade found a tacit understanding.

They completed another beautiful pressing on the wing. Tyronn Lue made a pass error, Eddie Jones stole halftime, and completed the last attack of the first quarter without a hit.

In the second quarter, Wang Zhizhi played for a while, although not as eye-catching as the first quarter.But Stan Van Gundy was more patient, and instead of throwing him to the bench for a turnover caused by his defensive positioning, he built up confidence and returned it on the offensive end.

By the third quarter, the point difference was already very large.

Stan Van Gundy even designed two tactics specifically for Wang Zhizhi.One was successful. After covering in the bullhorn area, Wang Zhizhi ran back from the baseline and received a pass from Lamar Odom to complete a dunk.Failed one, also covering in the horn area. After receiving the ball, he headed into the penalty area with the ball, and was pressed down by Howard in the paint area.

Wang Zhizhi's physical confrontation, physical fitness and defense are all disadvantages.

But his inside pace and attack methods are very rich.In fact, as long as he finds a position, he can also assist in defense. After all, he is tall and long, and his athletic ability is not bad.

So, in the third quarter, he gave McGrady a block.McGrady rushed to the basket aggressively. He pulled the bar in the air to avoid Lamar Odom, and was about to dunk when Wang Zhizhi slapped him from the side... Crack!

The basketball was shot flying.

Su Xi jumped up and applauded.

Heat fans are also very excited.

Even Pat Riley got a standing ovation.

Obviously, Wang Zhizhi's performance in this game moved everyone.

Everyone began to look forward to him.

In the NBA, if you want to get out, the first thing is to let the management, the coaching staff and the fans have expectations of you, and this "expectation" will bring tolerance and patience.In the NBA, 'tolerance' and 'patience' are very important for players who are eager to gain a firm position.

Anyone who can enter the NBA has strength.But why are so many people depressed?Because the NBA is a business league, they are realistic.If you don't play well in one round, you may be thrown to the bench.The error tolerance rate is extremely low.

But if you are a potential rookie, or you are expected to be high, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, and it's okay to be inefficient.

王治郅这场比赛最终拿到15分5篮板3助攻2封盖1抢断。

Of the 15 points, there were 3 points, a reverse running cut, a hook at the basket, a mid-range jumper, and a throwing shot with horseback archery.

"It was the most comfortable game I've ever played."

After Wang Zhizhi left the field, he couldn't help but said to Su Xi: "Your reminders are very important, and I seem to be enlightened a lot."

Su Xi smiled, and he said: "It has nothing to do with me. It's because you are strong enough. The only thing you lack is self-confidence. I think you should make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses. You can reduce your weight a little more, just train your lower body to be more stable."

Su Xi is a very sincere suggestion.

He originally came to watch Wade for this game, but he accidentally established a deep bond with Wang Zhizhi.

However, Su Xi still didn't expect that the person with the deepest bond with her was not Wang Zhizhi, but Tracy McGrady.

McGrady scored 31 points tonight, although the team lost, but his No.1 in the scoring list is still stable.

"The fans who support me should take action, don't you want to watch me and Kobe Bryant face off in Los Angeles?"

Tracy McGrady talked about the voting gap with Su Xi in an interview after the game. His tone was not as disapproving as before, and he was sure of winning.

Because the reporter told him that Su Xi had already led him by 7 votes.

In addition, Su Xi has been cheering for Wade and Wang Zhizhi tonight, both of whom have blocked him.

Sensitive McGrady thinks that Su Xi deliberately came to trouble him, wanting to make him feel embarrassed, and then make a profit for himself.

"I'm not saying Jack isn't good enough, but he's still very young, and his stage should be in the All-Star Rookie Game. He should play with kids like LeBron, Wade, and Anthony."

"To be honest, he shouldn't be compared to me. It's like Yao shouldn't replace Shaq's All-Star starter last season. Shaq is the league's No. [-] center and I'm the league's No. [-] guard."

Tracy McGrady made it clear.

It's a bit of a picture.

Reporters especially like to stir up trouble. The next day, Suhi saw a report in the Miami Herald, with the headline: "Tracy McGrady bluntly said: Suhi the lamb is not worthy of the All-Star game, let alone being compared with him."

Su Xi was very angry when she saw the newspaper.

Artest was even more angry.

After the Chen Qiao Incident Huangpao was added, Artest has already regarded Su Xi as the core.He resolutely defended Susie's glory. Before Susie could speak, he fired first: "What qualifications does Tracy McGrady have to belittle Jack? He was still carrying bags in Toronto in his first season. Jack already had a quadruple-double and a triple-double. body, far ahead in the steals list."

"In addition to scoring points every night, what else has he brought to Orlando? Apart from how elegant his shooting posture is in the media for so many years, what else has he done? Did he touch the floor in the second round of the playoffs?"

"I recognize Tracy's strength, but if he wants to use this to belittle Jack, he is too naive. The gap between him and Jack is far not as big as between Shaq and Yao Ming. This is a fact."

"Also, why should the starters voted by the fans be dismissed by him with one sentence?"

Artest is very straightforward.

The spearhead was directed at McGrady.

Artest made his statement on the evening of the second day. In the evening, Scarlett Johansson called on the TV: "Hey, friends! I have already bought the tickets for the Los Angeles All-Star Game. Next, let us work together for the lamb Sushi Vote! He should be there, fate tells me we'll meet there."

Scarlett came forward directly to canvass votes.

She also saw the Miami Herald report, and she was very angry. She didn't want others to underestimate her sweetheart.

So, she spoke out publicly.

With her words, CP fans instantly went crazy, especially in major campuses in the United States, where teenagers were asking about NBA voting guidelines.

All of a sudden, NBA officials poured in a large number of new IDs. As soon as these people came in, they looked for Su Xi's name and voted.

The official website server was down several times.

That night, Su Xi's lead expanded to the 10 level.

And with the media's next publicity campaign, the advantage was further expanded the next day.

On the third day, Suzy led by 50 votes.

Because Jessica Alba also jumped out to canvass votes, she competed with Scarlett, she told the media: "Please support Jack as the All-Star starter, I will definitely go to the scene to cheer for him!"

Do this.

It's time to hit the ring.

CP fans on both sides are cheering.

The battle was even more exciting than the general election.

Moreover, this is the election of an official with a boyfriend, gossip fans put all their enthusiasm into it.

It has been a long time since such an exciting game.

Both sides are desperately voting for Suzy.

Those who had been watching the excitement also joined in frantically, they could not wait for Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson to fight at the All-Star Game.

Suddenly, Su Xi's All-Star votes skyrocketed.

It is no longer a matter of surpassing McGrady. On the fourth day, he surpassed Iverson in the morning and Vince Carter in the afternoon to become the top voter.

Then, the outage took the lead.

"I feel like those entertainment fans are treating our All-Star voting as a support game."

The well-known ESPN commentator Mike Breen said frustratedly on TV.

He feels that this has made the NBA more entertaining, and the All-Stars have changed because of it.

This is the view of many commentators, and some even called for the voting to be stopped because it is not pure.

Even Stern's assistant said to Stern: "Boss, if this continues, I feel that the All-Star voting will become a farce. Those who voted did not watch basketball at all. Most of them were a group of sixteen. Seven-year-olds, they just want to see Suzy in a relationship with Scarlett or Jessica."

"It's their game."

"We also pay more to rent servers for them."

the assistant grumbled.

David Stern chuckled, and said, "Isn't that bad? No matter how you say it, these votes are cast by people. And these people will definitely lock the TV station, or go to watch it live. You don't care if she understands it or not." Where's the ball?"

"But... the taste has changed." The assistant was puzzled,
"It hasn't changed. This is the greatest significance of the All-Star voting. Let the official website release a press release in advance congratulating Jack on becoming the first vote leader in the history of the All-Star."

"I heard it's already 480 million? It's amazing. Jordan has never won such a high number of votes."

David Stern's tone even sounded a little proud.
