As the bad January passed, February ......

To the devastation of the league's teams, their "hard days" continued.

On February 1, the NBA officially announced the winners of the first month of the millennium.

In January, O'Neal, who averaged 36.5 and 16.5 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 3.3 blocks per game, finally broke Su Feng's monopoly on the Player of the Month.

At the same time, this also makes the ownership of this season's regular season MVP more and more confusing.

In the words of many ESPN experts, in January 2000, O'Neal's performance made people feel that he is an all-powerful superman.

In addition, in order to support O'Neal in this MVP competition, ESPN also released a pre-Chamberlain interview in a review program about the NBA in January.

In the interview, Chamberlain said O'Neill was the most dominant player he had ever seen.

In Su Feng's previous life, many people thought that Chamberlain was an invincible existence, but in fact, if these people really understood the overall level of the NBA in ancient times, then they would never say such a thing.

It is true that a giant beast like Chamberlain will be strong no matter what era it is placed in.

However, even Chamberlain himself did not dare to say that in his playing era, his opponents were stronger than O'Neill's opponents.

Especially the 20,000 people who were talked about by the "Zhang Blowers" were beheaded......

To be reasonable, Chamberlain probably didn't even expect that his casual words back then would be believed by many people in the future.

And just after ESPN's "blatant sideline" this time, many honeys in the market expressed their strong dissatisfaction on the Internet.

Among them, many American honeys are standing on the "moral height" and frantically attacking ESPN on the Internet.

In the opinion of this part of American honey, as a big media with credibility, ESPN should not be so biased in favor of American players.

But......

Some people who say it may not believe it, but ESPN is really not partiality for the sake of favoritism this time.

Because, not long after ESPN's front foot blew O'Neal, on the back foot, they made almost the same praise to Su Feng through Jordan himself.

And it is worth mentioning that in the show that blows Su Feng, ESPN also passed a terrible data ......

Once again, the science of the raptors was popularized.

Throughout January, in 16 of the 18 games Su Feng played, he was forced to clock out in the third quarter.

Moreover, in the past January, Su Feng's three-point shooting rate was an astonishing 53%.

Therefore, to quote Jordan, in the case of only playing three quarters, Su Feng's dominance is indeed inferior to O'Neal.

But......

If Su Feng also has a chance to play the full four quarters like O'Neal, then it is not easy to say.

And Toronto, after noticing that the topic of himself and O'Neill has been hyped up again......

Su Feng can be regarded as understanding how naïve he was when he was a fan in his previous life.

Because in fact, the so-called rhythm is really not brought up by the fans.

Take ESPN as an example, almost every year, they do a variety of leaderboards, and these rankings are the key to the rhythm.

After all, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and if someone likes Iverson, someone will like Kobe.

To put it bluntly, no matter how noisy the fans are, it is unlikely to have the slightest impact on ESPN.

On the contrary, only if the fans are noisy, people will want to watch the news published by media outlets like ESPN.

In Su Feng's previous life, when he was still a young fan, he also did the stupid thing of arguing with others for the players he liked, but in this life, after he began to become the protagonist of this storm, Su Feng realized how stupid he was at that time.

Of course, in addition to the rhythm of ESPN this time, several points they mentioned in the show did make Su Feng feel so helpless.

Especially when Su Feng saw his still immature nephew Stephen cheering for Carter in a recent home game with the Raptors.

In January, after the rest of the Raptors' roster began to rampage for a variety of reasons......

Obviously, Su Feng began to suffer from the so-called "Curry's disease".

The most important characteristics of this disease are:

Due to the overall strength of the team, the star of the house often does not get more playing time in the game.

And because of the lack of playing time, even if Su Feng can play again, he can only sit on the bench and watch the play honestly.

No way......

There are a few games, when the hand is good, Su Feng is really envious of O'Neal.

Because, no matter how O'Neal messes around, his CBA teammates can send the Lakers' good situation back.

But......

The Raptors are on this team......

Not even to mention that Su Feng turned on the hammer mode......

Sometimes, Su Feng's "warm-up" is not over yet, and the game is already over.

"It seems that in the future, when forming a team, we will still have to be instrumental.

It's better to build a 'single-core team' so that I can show how good I am. ”

On this day, when summarizing his performance in January, Su Feng sighed silently.

……

In February, the Raptors' winning streak with the Lakers continued.

On the 4th, after defeating the bent 76ers, the Raptors' winning streak since the loss to the Jazz in mid-December has reached 19.

On the other hand, after the victory over the Spurs on the same day, the Lakers' winning streak also came to 17 games.

In the case of the 99/00 season, because the Raptors and Lakers have the opportunity to hit the record of the best record in NBA history set by the Bulls that year, although everyone did not express their attitude in an interview, in fact, the Raptors and Lakers have recently adjusted their game status to the playoff mode in advance.

And in this way, the regular season consumption of both teams has undoubtedly increased significantly.

On the 5th, the Raptors did not play, and the whole team had a day off.

On the 5th, the NBA officially announced the starting roster of this year's Eastern and Western star teams, as well as the final votes of the stars.

For the 99/00 season, the starting lineup of the Western Stars is as follows:

Center: O'Neill.

Forwards: Malone, Garnett.

Guards: Kobe Bryant, Kidd.

Influenced by Duncan's lifetime with the Celtics, Malone Sr. was fortunate to be named to the starting list of the Western Conference Stars again.

And after going to Phoenix and gradually eliminating the negative impact in Dallas, Kidd also took over the poisonous banner of "the league's No. 1 point guard" from Stockton.

In the final vote of the starting five Tigers in the West, O'Neal became the most popular player in the West this year with 1.9 million votes.

However, although O'Neill put a lot of thought into it in January, and even ended up using a ticket-seeking trick like rolling all over the floor, this time ......

In front of the Toronto Gemini, he can only recognize himself as a younger brother.

For the 99/00 season, the starting lineup of the Eastern Stars is as follows:

Center: Mourning.

Forwards: Duncan, Su Feng.

Defenders: Carter, Hill.

As Su Feng remembers, in order to help Duncan squeeze into the first team in the best team selection, Auerbach changed Duncan's registration position to a power forward.

And although Duncan is often moved to the C position in actual games, in Auerbach's words:

Labor never said Duncan was a center.

Also, with Iverson reimbursed for the season, Hill was a substitute for this year's Eastern Conference Stars.

In the final vote of the starting five tigers in the East, the Toronto twins also continued their previous strong vote in the voting process.

With 3.3 million votes, Su Feng broke the All-Star vote record set by Michael Jordan that year and became this year's All-Star vote king.

Carter followed with 2.05 million votes.

Of course, as in previous years, most of the players caused controversy after this year's All-Star starting list was released, with the exception of a handful of players.

In the West, for example, Finley thinks he's not as handsome as Kobe.

In the East, Ray Allen, Houston and others believe that fans should not only pay attention to players who are good at dunking.

However, unlike previous years, on the 6th, after the NBA officially announced the bench list of this year's Eastern and Western star teams and the list of participants in various individual events......

The argument that people are arguing about instantly becomes who will be the slam dunk king this year.

Because in addition to Su Feng, Carter, and Maddie, the players participating in this year's slam dunk contest are Francis and Stark House.

To be reasonable, this is definitely the most luxurious slam dunk contest in NBA history.

For a while, as Su Feng expected, fans' enthusiasm for the Oakland All-Star Game has far surpassed the NBA regular season that is still going on.

Major media in North America have given this year's slam dunk contest the title of "the strongest dunk contest in history" in advance.

For those who have watched Jordan take on Wilkins alone, they are excited to see if the younger generations can surpass their predecessors in this competition.

And for those who regretted missing the battle between Jordan and Wilkins, they are extremely looking forward to this year's slam dunk contest to wash away their three views.

Coupled with the special year of the millennium, many fans have even called this year's slam dunk contest "Battle of the Century" in advance.

In addition to the high-profile All-Star Game slam dunk contest, in the 99/00 season, the substitute list of the Eastern and Western Stars is as follows:

East: Ben Wallace, Mutombo, Glenn Robinson, Maddie, Marbury, Ray Allen, Houston.

West: Finley, Stockton, Webb, Payton, David Robinson, Nowitzki, Pippen.

As of this year, in the history of the NBA, there have been four times in the NBA where four players from the same team have been selected to the All-Star Game.

As a result, the Raptors, who also have four players named to the All-Star Game starter/bench list this year, become the fifth team to do so.

And in this regard, although Su Feng wanted to complain for Nash......

But no, considering that Stern needs to level the water, Su Feng knows very well that 4 players on the same team are selected for the All-Star Game at the same time, which is already the limit that the league can accept.

After all, the All-Star Game is not for the Raptors, and in terms of resource allocation, Stern must ensure that more small and medium-sized teams benefit.

Otherwise, for those small teams whose football markets are not as good as big cities, there is not even a signboard to attract fans to watch the game, so why not let people play?

However, it is worth mentioning that because of the famous scene of being beaten by O'Neal Jr. before, Rasheed Wallace really did not make the All-Star Game squad this year.

The little driver and Pippen in Dallas became the beneficiaries.

Affected by the rise of the Mavericks' performance this year, coupled with the emergence of Su Feng, Stern's growing ambitions for the global market have led to Nowitzki, who can cut "18+7" per game, has become the second German player selected for the NBA All-Star Game after Schramf.

Originally, Nowitzki's first All-Star Game would have to wait until two years later.

As for Second Master Pi......

As the second-ranked team in the West, to be honest, if even Pippen fails to be selected for this year's All-Star Game in the end, then Su Feng feels that the league headquarters will definitely be blown up by radical Trail Blazers fans.

……

In other words, after all the all-star entries for this year were announced, some people were happy and some were worried.

For example, in Toronto, Nash has always felt that he and Su Feng can't play together recently.

Kangkang, now even Maddie's younger brother is going to the All-Star Game, but he can only go to the three-point contest with Curry Sr......

For a while, no matter how good Nash's temper was, he began to doubt the setting of accepting to play sixth man this season.

As for these little ninety-nines produced in Nash's heart, Su Feng naturally couldn't choose to ignore them.

After all, as the helmsman of this "Black Pearl", Su Feng knows very well that Nash is the actual rhythm controller of this Raptor.

Therefore, on the evening of the 6th, taking advantage of the team's holiday, Su Feng specially hosted a dinner for Nash alone.

And while Nash's mood was brought by that delicious food, Su Feng also said to him: "Steve, I don't think you need to feel sad about not being selected for this year's All-Star Game squad.

Because others don't know, but in my heart, you're the best point guard in the league right now. ”

Hearing this, Nash shook his head with a wry smile, "Sue, don't comfort me."

I know that I didn't make the cut because I couldn't impress the judges, so I'll continue to work hard. ”

And listening to Nash's answer, Su Feng, who felt the depression in Nash's words, pretended to be angry and said, "What do you mean by comforting you?

Do you think what I just said was comforting you?

Oh, shit!

Steve, I never thought I would be such a person in your heart.

To be honest, I really didn't expect Steve, who was stronger than John Stockton in my heart, to be such a player with no confidence.

Because he actually thinks that his strength is not enough to make it to the All-Star! ”

Nash: "......"

Seriously, although he felt that Su Feng was fooling himself, he didn't know why, Nash always felt that there were tears in his eyes at this time.

"Su ...... Do you really think so? Nash looked at Su Feng curiously and said.

"Of course! In my heart, even ten John Stocktons are only worthy of carrying your shoes!

You're the best point guard in the NBA!

You didn't make it to this year's All-Star Game because the judges were blind. Su Feng said to Nash seriously.

"Su ...... Thank you! ”

Looking at Su Feng, who kept complaining about himself, at this moment, Nash felt that when he was trying out in Phoenix City, the cake he fed Su Feng was really not fed for nothing.

And after noticing that Nash was fooled by himself, Su Feng also smiled: "Although you won't have a chance to participate in the All-Star Game this year, Steve, don't forget, there is still the award of Best Sixth Man waiting for you this year." ”

"Hmmm! I'll try! After bowing his head and taking a large bite of food, he replied to Nash, who had decided to make a promise to Su Feng.

Tut!

It was just perfect!

Looking at Nash, who was in a good mood, Su Feng knew that the potential hidden danger of the Raptors had been eliminated by him.

Hong Kong Zhen, in Su Feng's opinion, an all-round leader like him is not comparable to O'Neill at all.

So......

It's time to use your strength to tell that stupid shark who is the king of this era!

On the 9th, after defeating the Bucks away, Su Feng officially embarked on a journey to Oakland with the Raptors, a group of players who participated in the All-Star Game.

And on the plane to Oakland, holding the future king of Oakland Stephen Curry in his arms, Su Feng also teased him: "Stephen, in your opinion, who will become the champion of this year's slam dunk contest." ”

"Hmmm......"

After struggling inwardly for a while, Stephen Curry, who decided to follow his heart, finally resisted Su Feng's temptation to treat him with snacks, and looked up and replied, "Uncle Vince will win!" ”

Su Feng: "......"

To be reasonable, for a moment, Su Feng really wanted to ask the flight attendant if she could turn on the plane and throw Stephen Curry down.

However, considering that such an act is somewhat inhumane......

So, after smacking Curry's head hard, Su Feng wrote down another "crime" for Stephen Curry in his small notebook.

Wait, Stephen!

In the future, if you have a chance to win the MVP and the championship before the labor retirement, then I will lose!

In this life, if you don't experience the script that James took, then I won't be called Su Feng!

"Sure enough, LeBron is cute."

Pinching Curry's little face, Su Feng said with emotion at this moment.
