Chapter 343 [Catching up with the self who once had high hopes]

Jordan was obsessed, but he was helpless. He could only watch as Su Xi's influence grew day by day, but there was no room for resistance, because he had retired, and Su Xi was still making history day by day.

Just like his sneakers can only sell feelings and design.

Su Xi's independent brand has become more and more popular in the market. In Asia, sales have surpassed the Jordan brand. In North America, it is also attacking cities. In New York, the single largest market, it has become a holy product of basketball.

Nike's ability to tell stories is enough to attract many people who love basketball culture.

beep!

The All-Star Game has officially begun.

The starting players of both teams came on the court.

The five starting players in the Western Conference are: Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, and Yao Ming.

The All-Star starters in the Western Conference almost never change every year, because the top stars in the Western Conference have long been solidified.

Su Xi smiled.

Arenas stepped forward at that time, and the two looked like they were going to fight. Players from both sides quickly pulled away. No one wanted to cause trouble in such a game.

Then, Susie pestered Tracy McGrady and let McGrady hit the jumper.

Go-ahead score.

After Su Xi came on the court, Arenas made one of two free throws. Su Xi rushed in from the three-point line on the rebound, jumped up, grabbed the basketball and slammed it into the basket.

Su Xi and Randolph were sitting on the sidelines, they both had the mentality of the masses.

At this time, players from both sides were playing with more and more passion. Arenas set off a climax. After hitting three consecutive points, he made a pistol gesture.

The two sides fought very loosely.

In fact, they did.

Suhi played three or four minutes, and he took the initiative to wave to Isiah Thomas, who came off the court to rest.

Looking back, Su Xi passed the ball to David Lee, who entered the penalty area and dunked.

He told Isiah Thomas that he was a little tired tonight.

That prompted cheers in Las Vegas.

However, Su Xi has no psychological needs for the All-Star Game. He has already won what he deserves. His mentality is similar to that of the old guys in the West, who complete a task every year.

"It's not interesting." Randolph said to Su Xi: "No matter what, it can't surpass last year's All-Star Game."

Su Xi did not play in the first quarter and did not play in the second quarter at all. At the beginning of the third quarter, I played for two or three minutes and then went off to rest.

It means, don’t arrange work for me.

Stoudemire didn't dare look into Su Xi's eyes.

The two of them were chatting on the sidelines.

Su Xi grabbed the basketball and charged forward. He reached the basket and turned and dunked.

Unexpectedly, he had a conflict with Arenas again.

Before Su Xi came on the court, the Eastern team was still 1 point behind.

Stoudemire was finally selected to the All-Star this year... He was soft-banned by the league because of his disagreement with Su Xi during the previous All-Star Rookie Game and because he said extremely unpleasant things. The Suns struggled for several years before he was released and became an All-Star.

Who makes Su Xi the number one active player?

Of course Zach Randolph couldn't jump the ball past Yao Ming.

Didn't get in.

Su Xi rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, still one meter away from the three-point line, and took off directly... Whoops!

Everyone is shouting Su! Sue! Sue!
The sound was overwhelming.

Both sides come and go.

Isiah Thomas didn't want the game to get heated at the last minute, so he asked Susie to go up and calm the situation.

This will give people the reputation of being a troublemaker.

A hammer is fixed.

The two sides went back and forth, playing very competitively, and even talked trash to each other.

O'Neal got the rebound under the basket, and he reflexively passed it to Su Xi instead of James, who was closer to him.

Then, Zach Randolph also applied for dismissal.

Su Xi's popularity spread to the casino.

With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Arenas rushed to the basket and was pushed by Stoudemire.

McGrady dribbled the ball across half court, and he shot from outside the three-point line. Bang!

So, after Su Xi dunked, Duncan came up with a layup.

James and the others were playing fiercely, and the more they fought, the more passionate they became. They really wanted to arouse cheers from the audience.

This made the western side also take action.

Three point hit.

Scored 5 points in a row.

What is an All-Star Arbiter?

beep!

Stop the Western team directly.

The Las Vegas Arena is roaring like a tsunami! Su! Su!
It seemed like the Nevada cannon was firing round after round.

Su Xi, however, was quite heroic and walked away. After he stabilized the situation, he stopped playing.

Subsequently, Arenas, Wade, and James worked together to stabilize the Eastern team's lead, and the East once again defeated the West.

In the end, the MVP trophy was awarded to Dwyane Wade.

Wade scored a game-high 39 points.

Suhi congratulates.

He has no qualms about the All-Star MVP trophy. Isn't this thing something he can hold with his hands?
Su Xi just wants to return to New York as soon as possible. More than half of the season has passed and the playoffs are getting closer. It is time to launch a new sprint.

However, before he could launch a sprint, reporters blocked his way.

They are all concerned about Susie and the Knicks, especially with this recent trade.

They first asked Su Xi what he thought of this All-Star and why he played so little time tonight.

"There is no doubt that this is a successful conference, this is a victorious conference. I am pleasantly surprised by the exciting performance of the All-Star Game, and I am also sincerely grateful to the organizers for their selfless dedication. At the same time, I am very grateful to Las Vegas Gase’s passionate fans remember this as one of the most energetic All-Star weekends I’ve ever attended.”

Su Xi came up with a set of official talk.

For the league's number one player who has been in the league for four years, saying a few auspicious words is not something he can do with his hands.

No need to use your brain, just open your mouth.

"As for why I only played for such a short time, it's because I think my teammates played better and I felt a little unwell tonight."

Su Xi found a reason at random.

"But you scored five points in a row at a critical moment? You didn't look like you were feeling any discomfort."

"As the number one player in the league, when there is a dispute on the court, I must go up and deliver justice. This is my responsibility."

Su Xi said simply.

What he said was domineering and unobstructed.

However, no one disputed his statement.

Because, this is a simple statement. "Jack, we saw you bring Jerome James back to the lineup last week, and yesterday traded Millsap to Orlando in exchange for Milicic. Many people said that you made adjustments because of the Cavaliers' strong inside line, is that right?"

"It's not just them," Susie said.

"So, you've been worried about the knight?"

"Let's not talk about worrying. They have always been losers in front of us. I have never heard of worrying about a defeated general." Su Xi replied straightforwardly.

"So what do you want to say about this deal? Many people say that the Orlando Magic made a lot of money from this deal, and the Knicks got nothing except a late first-round pick."

"Of course that's not the case. It's a win-win deal. We're grateful for what Millsap has done with the Knicks and the community over the past period, and he's an elite player with great potential. But equally Yes, don’t overlook Milicic’s talent. He was the second pick in the 2003 class and he was one of the most talented players in our class.”

"However, no one thinks he can be compared with you guys. I mean, everyone is saying that he is a parallel import and that he does not deserve to have such a high draft pick."

"This is an unfair evaluation. The talent is not far away from Milicic's body, and he will explode in New York. I firmly believe in him, and I have always believed that he is the best big man in the 2003 class."

"Okay, that's the end of the interview."

Susie waves to the camera. He always had the prerogative to end interviews.

He won't wait for reporters to ask him a final question.

When he wanted to stop was the last question.

He never lacks topics.

Isiah Thomas subsequently took over the media's criticism.

He talked freely.

"If Jack doesn't want to fight, then he won't fight. There's nothing strange about this. As the number one player in the league, his mood is the most important."

"What's there to say about trades? Have you ever seen me make a loss-making trade? Knicks fans aren't worried, so what do you have to worry about?"

"About Milicic, I just want to say that Joe Dumars is not an idiot. His eyesight is okay, although not as good as mine. But at least it is better than many famous people. Milicic is definitely a talent. He It will definitely play an important role in our system.”

"Parallel import? Why do you say he is a parallel import? You said Zach Randolph was a troublemaker before? You also said Zach will make a mess in our team's locker room. But now, Zach Randolph Husband deserves a sportsmanship award!”

"..."

Isiah Thomas talks in front of the TV.

He has always been a good talker.

Of course, he is also a person who is very good at creating topics.

"Shaquille O'Neal and Ilgauskas combined can't beat Milicic and Zach Randolph, I'm telling you!"

"We'll see!"

Once Thomas gets excited, he can't keep his mouth shut.

Without Su Xi, the sports channel would slap him in the face every night.

But, because of Su Xi. So every time he rants, he can get away with it.

Now the media dare not criticize him easily for fear of being slapped in the face.

...

Susie, David Lee, Zach Randolph, Kyle Lowry, Isiah Thomas, and James Dolan returned to New York on a charter flight.

Two companions were missing on the plane. Novak and Millsap had already gone to Orlando to report.

This is the NBA.

However, the plane was still very lively.

Because James Dolan brought three Las Vegas specialties on the plane, and they served Dolan very well in the gambling city, Dolan took them to New York to see the world.

Zach Randolph sat with Dolan, admiring the bodies of the three beauties with an artist's eye.

Sometimes they are even asked to jump up and down.

"It's a bit interesting." Randolph's professional evaluation made James Dolan very happy.

In fact, Dolan also wanted Su Xi to join the commentary.

He recognized Su Xi's vision. After all, Su Xi was the one who was rumored to have affairs with a group of sexy Hollywood female stars.

However, Suhi was not interested in these. He watched Milicic's video tape on the plane. He wanted to determine how much talent Milicic still had to tap.

Su Xi looked at it and was pleasantly surprised.

Milicic is still very young. Even now, he is only 21 years old and will be 22 soon.

He was born in 85, and he is the youngest among all the rookies in the 2003 class.

He was only 17 years old when he entered the league.

He did little under Larry Brown, but fortunately Larry Brown only coached him for two seasons, and Sanders still taught him a lot.

He also retained some spirituality, although in Orlando, Stan Van Gundy continued his brother Jeff Van Gundy's strategy of letting him gain weight and let him switch to blue-collar play.

But his ball skills are still there.

Sphericality is a very mysterious thing. If you are born with it, if you are born without it, this life will be mysterious.

Milicic can pass, attack, support, screen, block, grab boards, switch, defend... He can do a little bit of almost everything, but every one of them is very ordinary.

He didn't find his niche.

The mood is not high either.

There is no experience of going all out in the game, and there is no opportunity to go all out in the game.

Since he entered the league, he has been beaten all the time, and he has almost no self-confidence.

For a young person, this is undoubtedly a frustrating thing.

...

Milicic watched Suzy's interview with Isiah Thomas in a New York hotel room and now understands English.

When he heard that both Susie and Isiah Thomas had high hopes for him, he had an unprecedented feeling: It seems like... I have a chance to catch up with myself who once had high hopes.

But will it really happen?
He has taken many, many blows.

But he always remembered Su Xi's encouragement to him when he was just starting out and playing against Su Xi.

Su Xi's encouragement never let him give up the last thought in his heart.

This was the last spark of fire in his ashes-like heart.

And as Su Xi becomes more and more powerful in the NBA and becomes the number one player in the league, this flame becomes stronger and stronger: People like Su Xi are optimistic about me, so I definitely have merit. I'm definitely not the good-for-nothing Larry Brown they say I am.

Otherwise, how could Larry Brown be beaten by Jack the Goat and run away with his tail between his legs?

Now, he finally gets the opportunity to play on the same team as Su Xi.

Moreover, it is said that Su Xi led this transaction.

He believed that Su Xi had high hopes for him by calling him here.

Then, I have to show something.

...

When Su Xi saw Milicic in the training hall, Milicic was already sweating profusely.

Suhi is often the first player to arrive at the training facility in New York, but he didn't expect Milicic to arrive earlier than him.

This surprised Su Xi.

At this time, Milicic came over and said to Su Xi: "Jack, nice to meet you. What kind of teammate do you need me to be?"

Su Xi thought about it seriously and said, "I need you to become the super genius who has high hopes!"
