Chapter 144: Question Su Chen, understand Su Chen, and become Su Chen
Then Afflalo came on and he didn't do well either, scoring just 15 points.
The people who appeared later cheered Su Chen up a little, and Middleton came on the court.
Empty shooting is actually very much depending on the state, as strong as Curry's score is low this time.
But Middleton didn't feel good either, shooting a dismal 13 points.
Su Chen's reaction was also very real, cheering for Middleton before the shot, and Middleton directly said that he didn't know this guy after shooting 13 points.
There's nothing to see next.
Beal won the three-point contest.
In the next slam dunk contest, Wall performed a slam dunk that leaped over the Wizards' mascot and won the championship of the dunk contest.
February 17, 2014.
The highlight of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game, has finally begun.
From the beginning of his appearance, he has already begun to ignite the emotions on the scene.
The players who can be selected as All-Stars are basically the big leaders who are not weak teams, and the strong teams can be selected even as the second leaders.
After the introduction of the entrance ceremony, it is time to enter the stadium to warm up.
Su Chen, as the head coach of the west, appeared in the coach position of the western camp.
Not only did they say hello to the familiar Curry, but some other veteran stars also took the initiative to say hello to Su Chen.
Even Paul, who had a fierce fight with the Timberwolves before, had a friendly exchange with Su Chen.
Nowitzki, Duncan, Durant and others all greeted Su Chen one after another, although they were only temporary coaches, after all, Su Chen was also their coach now.
Besides, the NBA is a personal love field.
The players fight fiercely on the field, and rarely bring conflicts off the field, except for the good brothers Paul and Rondo.
Maybe the two were opposites before, and they were traded by the team to be teammates on the day they couldn't keep it, how embarrassing it was.
Like between Wei Shao and Beverley, after arriving at the Lakers, there is no continued conflict.
It's the same among the players, let alone the players and the coach.
Especially Su Chen, who has great power and controls the management and coaching positions of a team, there is nothing good to eat if he offends Su Chen.
Although the all-star is a performance, Su Chen still pretended to arrange tactics.
Very few coaches have a direct showdown, they are here to play, and they don't even arrange tactics.
It's all here, and it's still a little bit involved.
Of course, Su Chen called the players over to arrange tactics, and he didn't really arrange tactics.
Wouldn't it be like not having a layout for them to shoot more three-pointers and more shots?
The all-stars in the west were speechless for a while, Su Chen was too perfunctory.
But that's fine, they didn't want to fight seriously, they were all here to have fun.
This year, the Pacers are the first in the East, and the Heat are not aiming for the regular season this season and have not deliberately fought for the regular season record.
Su Chen and Frank Vogel walked to the middle and shook hands.
Frank Vogel and Su Chen didn't actually have much in common, and the two teams simply played a regular season, and the All-Star break was the second time they met.
The last time they met, the Timberwolves were when Gobert and McCollum brushed up their stats.
The new lineup of the Timberwolves is the first time for both teams.
"Coincidentally, we'll meet in the next one."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"It's time for an early fight."
Frank Vogel also responded with a smile.
After all, everyone in the all-stars is happy, even if they don't lose with Su Chen, they pretend to be able to talk for a few words.
When he was free, there were also star players from the east who came to greet Su Chen.
The one who fought against Su Chen in the east was James, but James did not hold a grudge against Su Chen because Su Chen eliminated him.
On the contrary, he felt that maybe the two would have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, so it was not bad to maintain a certain amount of contact.
After all, this season for the Heat, if he can't win the championship, he plans to change teams.
James has a good relationship in the whole league and is very popular.
In the face of James's overtures, Su Chen naturally responded with a smile.
As a coach, even if he doesn't deliberately build a good relationship with the players, at least he doesn't have to stiffen the relationship.
That's when both sides played.
Eastern Conference All-Star Starting Lineup: Paul George (Pacers), Anthony (Knicks), James (Heat), Wade (Heat), Irving (Cavaliers)
Western All-Star starting lineup: Durant (Thunder), Griffin (Clippers), Nowitzki (Mavericks), Curry (Warriors), Harden (Rockets)
The All-Star Game generally does not have a formal breakdown of positions, at most it is divided into the front court and the back court.
In order to avoid some stronger positions, some players choose a position with fewer people when they report to the All-Star, but this position is something he usually doesn't play much.
The race is on.
Griffin's little short hand actually jumped the ball and won.
The All-Star Game in this era is already more playful.
Many years ago, it would be the NBA All-Star Game, and it would be a real game once in a while.
There will even be a dozen tactics.
Curry opened the game with a three-pointer and made a three-pointer for the West.
Then in the East, James immediately responded with another unguarded dunk.
"It's a bit boring right now that the All-Star Game."
Even in the VIP viewing area, Su Chen felt a little bored.
But Su Chen has his own little Jiujiu in his heart.
He has the right to make substitutions!
After playing half a quarter in the opening game, Su Chen replaced the substitute again.
Including Giannis, and Butler, went up and played two balls and were replaced.
This makes the commentators a little confused.
"Butler and Giannis deserve a lot of playing time, after all, the coach is their family, and they can compete for the All-Star Game MVP, huh?"
Today's commentary has O'Neill, and O'Neill is a little confused.
The commentary group is all here today.
"Su Chen seems to be in a hurry to take turns and let everyone go up and fight for a while."
Kenny Smith spotted a point of doubt.
This made Frank Vogel on the other side a little puzzled, what is Su Chen playing?
However, Frank Vogel was not affected by Su Chen and still maintained his rhythm.
Although Su Chen is making frequent substitutions, there is no real fight in the west, so as the coach of the east, he can also sit firmly.
Soon, the Western side went through the bench rotation.
Su Chen finally showed his true colors.
At this time, the Western lineup on the court is: Curry (Warriors), Parker (Spurs), Duncan (Spurs), Durant (Thunder), Paul (Clippers).
After the first quarter, Su Chen did not make substitutions.
After the second quarter, Su Chen let these people rest for less than a minute, and then replaced them.
"I seem to understand what Su Chen means."
Barkley said with a sudden smile.
"I can see it too."
Kenny Smith laughed the same way.
"Huh?"
O'Neill didn't react so much.
"Shaq, look at the teams that play the most in the West on the field, what team they are from."
Johnson explained to O'Neill with a smile.
O'Neill took the stat counter and looked at it carefully.
The Clippers, Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, these are the top teams in the West.
"This Su Chen is so bad, I was still wondering why Giannis and Butler didn't get any playing time under the care of their own coaches."
"Our own players play for a minute or two and then leave the field, and the competitors' players are donkeys on the field."
When O'Neill understood, he was shocked.
This is also to let O'Neal see that All-Stars can still play like this?
At this time, Popovich, who was watching the game in front of the TV, was so angry that he cursed.
Originally, going to the All-Star was to rest, but Su Chen was good, and he directly asked Duncan and Parker not to come up.
GDP is already old, and he has been saving money this season, and the regular season is very frequent.
As a result, Su Chen was on the All-Star and used Parker and Duncan as donkeys.
And even Curry, a former coach player, Su Chen did not let go.
The rival players were all treated as donkeys by Su Chen.
"The All-Stars have been playing too much lately, and I think you should be more pressing, and you should be defensive on the defensive end."
At halftime, Su Chen was still arranging tactics in a serious manner.
Curry gritted his braces and looked at Su Chen speechlessly.
has been coached by Su Chen before, Curry knows Su Chen's tricks too well, and Su Chen is very good at these off-the-board moves.
"I see, I'll teach them a little more lesson."
But Curry laughed out loud at this time.
In fact, Curry also likes to play more in the All-Stars, and for Su Chen's little trick, seeing through it or not saying it is a reflection of Curry's friendship with Su Chen.
Anyway, Su Chen led the team to win the championship last season, and he also helped himself sign his younger brother in the offseason.
Su Chen's behavior, even Curry didn't care about saying this, and the others had nothing to say.
Especially Duncan and Parker, who are also old fritters, why don't they understand Su Chen's tricks.
But Su Chen is a coach, and they are not easy to point fingers.
Second.
On the Western Stars side, I don't know how to start getting a little serious.
When James went in to dunk, Curry reached out and pulled James when he was outside.
This made James unprepared, and he was really taken down by Curry, who directly took the ball and made a steal for three points.
The All-Star Game is like that, if one side plays, then the other side will not be serious.
But if one party becomes serious, the other party will respond in response.
In the previous NBA All-Star Game, there were players who would suddenly get serious, and everyone would suddenly start playing while playing.
Curry's serious steal made the Eastern Conference All-Stars start to get serious.
Duncan and Parker glanced at each other, even when Su Chen emphasized just now, they were not ready to fight seriously.
But who knows, Su Chen has calculated them, and Curry really gave Su Chen face.
The east is also serious, they are not serious, and they have to be a little more serious.
Otherwise, it won't look good on the scene.
Originally, the audience was also used to the fact that the all-stars didn't really play.
Expectations come from anticipation, but the current All-Star players are like playing by some kind of rules.
In the past, no one would break this situation, but now that the fight is really going on, it is exciting all of a sudden.
Of course, this so-called real fight is not like the regular season.
It's the kind that exerts a little force.
Frank Vogel is a little confused, how did he start to increase the intensity?
But Frank Vogel is not a stupid person, and seeing Su Chen's employment on the field, he quickly understood Su Chen's intentions.
"This Su Chen is a bit despicable."
Frank Vogel said silently in his heart.
At the same time, the Eastern Star has been adjusted.
Eastern court lineup: James (Heat), Wade (Heat), Bosh (Heat), DeRozan (Raptors), Wall (Wizards).
For Su Chen's despicable behavior, Frank Vogel said, hurry up and learn!
Question Su Chen, understand Su Chen, and become Su Chen!
George and Hibbert of the Pacers were both pressed to the bench by their coaches.
At this moment, the strong players of the eastern and western teams are spending a lot of time on the field.
Su Chen and Frank Vogel were on the sidelines, and they had even stood up and commanded the battle.
Both of them are cool at the moment.
In other words, it is cool to use the players of the enemy team as donkeys!
Popovich and Spo, looking at the situation on the field, both of them were scolding.
Then there is a tense regular season trip, Su Chen and Frank Vogel, two people, treat their players like this as donkeys, and it is distressing to watch.
The Spurs' Duncan and Parker were already little old men, and they were made like this, and Popovich already wanted to give them one more round of rest.
As for the Heat, although James has little impact in his prime.
But Wade's season was meant to be stop-and-go.
Compared to the Spurs, the Heat have three All-Star selections, and one more Bosh is being consumed.
"Hahaha, Su Chen's addition has made this all-star interesting."
O'Neill was on the podium, laughing.
"Frank Vogel is also very real and joined Su Chen's actions."
Barkley also said with a smile on the side.
"Popovich, Spo, Cole, Casey, Rivers, Brooks, Whitman, McHale want to curse."
Kenny Smith was also unabashed, coming up with the names of the coaches of these teams.
Cole, in particular, was speechless.
Su Chen obviously didn't listen to this arrangement, but Curry had to give Su Chen this face and took the initiative to provoke this battle.
During the All-Star Weekend, the players of the strong team were given a wave of intensity by Su Chen and Frank Vogel.
Curry has a good hand in this game, and it was a battle provoked by him, and he has a lot of three-point shots.
The West also won the game, and Curry became the AFMVP (All-Star Player).
With Curry lifting the trophy, the All-Star weekend is over.
It's just that for the players of the strong team, this All-Star weekend, which should have been a break, was forced to clock in and go to work again.
After the game, Su Chen and Frank Vogel shook hands, and the eyes of the two were also tacit.
Both of them smiled in a way that they both understood, as if to say that they were happy to work together.
Of course, this cannot be said directly.
"Curry's performance deserves the AFMVP honor, and I'm very proud of him as the head coach of the West."
After the game, Su Chen faced the interview and praised Curry.
Curry sold him this favor, so he has to give something in return.
This all-star, Su Chen is also satisfied.
Of course, Popovich and others are still very angry.
After the All-Star break, the whole team flew straight to Indiana.
The next game is to take on the Pacers on the road.
While there was still some time to rest, there was no need to fly from New Orleans to Minnesota and then to Indiana.
A relaxed All-Star weekend corresponds to a tense playoff sprint.
Today's Timberwolves still maintain the first position in the West.
Unless the Timberwolves inexplicably come up with a ten-game losing streak or even more consecutive defeats, the Timberwolves can basically determine the playoff spots this season.
Su Chen also has to change the team's current state to a certain extent.
The Timberwolves were a must-have in every game.
The next Timberwolves, after winning some key games, can basically start to rotate and adjust their playoff status.
