Chapter 33: [Seeking Unity through Struggle]

Suhi watched Jason Capono become the All-Star Game three-point champion that night, and he was genuinely happy for Acre. And in the next highlight, his teammate and Pacers' backup point guard Fred Jones defeated Jason Richardson to win the dunk title.

Fred Jones was very excited after being crowned the dunk king, and he yelled to invite Suhi, Atay, and Xiao Ao to a nightclub to celebrate.

Su Xi politely declined.

He has no interest in going to nightclubs, no matter how fanciful they say, he is unmoved. In the end, the three of them went to indulge together.

Suhi was at the hotel watching 'Magic Johnson's Pass Highlights', and he chatted with Magic Johnson on the sidelines for a while. Magic Johnson is quite kind, and he suggested that Suhee improve his passing skills a little more, and if he can lead his teammates with the ball, the court will run more silky.

Suhi's assist stats are good, he is now very capable of attacking and killing, and once he creates a misalignment, he can pass the basketball in time. However, the ability to lead teammates with basketball and mobilize tactics with passing is far inferior to top defenders such as Jason Kidd, Stephen Nash, and Magic Johnson.

Therefore, Magic Johnson is more regretful. If Suhi has such a strong assault ability, and at the same time has the ability to lead the way with passing, then the 'point guard' vein is really strong.

The NBA has produced many two-way guards with strong individual ability, and there are two in the Eastern Army this year, Allen Iverson and Byron Davis. Looking at the assist stats alone, both of them are very good. But without exception, they are all players who attack more than pass.

Suhi seems to the magician, but this is not the case. So, he wanted to give Su Xi a few words.

Because of the large number of people, the two did not have an in-depth chat.

When Susie returned to the hotel, she asked Mike O'Connor to find a collection of magicians, and he looked at it.

Magic deserves to be the No. 1 point guard in history.

He is by no means taller and has an advantage than others say. The NBA has had many Magic successors over the years, but none of them have been able to take over, and most of them have transformed to play small forwards or even big forwards.

Currently, LeBron James is also considered to have the ability to succeed Magic.

LeBron James has really good passing vision and is willing to pass the ball.

However, when it comes to leading tactics with passing, he is too far behind.

Su Xi looked at the videotape, and he always sighed: "How did such a pass come out?" How many glasses does the magician have? Also, how can his passing skills be so clever, some passes look mediocre, but the actual effect is superb. ”

After Su Xi saw it, she admired the magician even more.

He is worthy of being a historical superstar who ruled the 80s at the same time as Larry Bird.

Suhi is now among the best in the league in terms of physical fitness, and he can be described as a talented player.

However, on the technical side.

He still lacks a lot.

He only has Gary Payton's super-winding defensive talent and Isaiah Thomas's super-low-center of gravity rhythm talent.

Although this has ensured that his strength has reached the edge of the All-Star, in some specific occasions, it is even more useful than the All-Star.

However, if we want to go further, we still need to further strengthen the technology.

The All-Star Game arrived on Sunday night as scheduled.

Early in the afternoon, Coach Carlisle made some tactical set-ups, and the three assistant coaches of the Pacers: Mike Brown, Dan Burke, and Ron Rothstein, divided the players into three groups and gave tactical explanations.

Sushi was assigned to the point guard group, and Mike Brown explained tactics to him, Jason Kidd, Byron Davis and Allen Iverson.

But Iverson didn't train, he just stood there and listened.

Byron Davis likes to listen or not, he wears headphones, and when Mike Brown gives him a physical demonstration, he just makes a few random gestures.

Jason Kidd is the most 'domineering', the No. 1 point guard in the league today, and actually gave Mike Brown a lesson in turn. He said Mike Brown's tactics were problematic everywhere.

That is, Mike Brown has a good temper, and if he is any other coach, he can't stand his dictation.

But those who know Jason Kidd well know that he likes to coach as a person. He once led the team to isolate the head coach in the dressing room and drive the head coach away.

In the NBA, this is a common occurrence. The superstar gave the head coach eye medicine and told him to get out, there is a way. You don't even have to confront each other openly, you just need to make yourself fatter, train negatively, play on the pitch without knowing what to do, and lose about a dozen games, and the management will change the head coach.

The NBA is becoming more and more like a game of superstars, because superstars are getting more and more capable, and players like O'Neal and Duncan can completely override the tactical system.

There are fewer and fewer teams like the Pacers and Pistons where players are completely tied to the system.

The league actually encourages superstars to lead teams as well.

Because this is a business alliance, it needs to create influential stars.

That's why Gary Payton said to Suhey last night worriedly, "Jack, I've heard that the league is going to change its defensive rules soon. Next season or next season, the league won't even allow us to wrap around the defense like this, and I've heard that when an offensive player goes on offense, the defender can't even touch his body with his hands..."

After hearing this, Su Xi also felt ridiculous. "Is this still called basketball?"

"The league wants to encourage offense, and a game with seventy or eighty points makes the crowd drowsy." Gary Payton said, "You're going to have to transform as soon as possible." This era is soon not the era of defensive players. ”

Although Su Xi didn't speak, he had a sense of urgency in his heart.

Jason Kidd gave Mike Brown a lesson, and then went to the other players, and he was going to play some new tricks.

It is clear that not only did he not take Mike Brown seriously, but even Carlisle did not.

Jason Kidd wasn't a bravado, he was the kind of guy who seemed peaceful, but everybody had to listen to him.

When Dallas 3J broke up, he also played a major role. The so-called 3J snatching women and being jealous is just lace news, and the real reason is that Jason Kidd likes the team to follow his ideas.

You can't say he's thinking wrong, at least he's led the Nets to the Finals for two consecutive seasons after swapping clubs with Stephen Marbury.

Jason Kidd started a new and winning streak outside of the Pacers' tactical system at the Eastern Conference All-Star.

Byron Davis chatted loudly in the locker room with Tracy Maddy and Ben Wallace about having one of this year's All-Stars get involved.

Don't look at these people outside, but when they get to the locker room, they are still trivial.

Tracy Maddie had a good relationship with Suhi, but since Suhi snatched the starter, he has been yin and yang.

Ben Wallace and Sushi are irreconcilable contradictions, and Sushi has no intention of reconciling with him.

Although he shouted all kinds of revenge when he was in Detroit, he wanted Suxi to return blood for blood.

But when I saw Suxi in the locker room, he was calmer, but Ron Artest always scratched him with a provocative look.

It's a bit complicated in the Eastern locker room right now, with Suhi, Atay, and Ao Jr. being naturally formed allies who are teammates with the Pacers. In addition, the entire coaching team is Pacers.

Rick Carlisle is a young coach who doesn't have a lot of experience in the NBA. Moreover, he did not have a teacher. In this alliance that pays attention to the mountain, there is no one behind him.

He didn't want to get into trouble with these superstars. When Jason Kidd openly went on a new and winning streak, he just laughed. After all, it's just a show, an inconsequential exhibition game, and you can play as much as you want. Really speaking, there are no tactics to play.

Therefore, he even said to the three Pacers players before the game: "Let's just rest more in this game, let them play, we save energy, the second half of the record is more important, we set a team record is the most important." ”

His suggestion was reasonable.

Many All-Star head coaches in the past have done this, all of which are to let the stars of other teams play more and their own stars to rest as much as possible.

Xiao Ao has no opinion, he is low-key and introverted by nature, and has no desire to be in the limelight.

Atai also agrees that his style of play is unpretentious and belongs to the kind of heavy sword without edge. If he really let go of the fight, it wouldn't be an all-star atmosphere.

However, Suhi shook her head. He said, "Coach, we have to cherish this opportunity. If we seek compromise and unity, we will die in unity, and if we seek struggle and unity, we will survive in unity. My grandfather used to say this to me. I think it's appropriate here. ”

Carlisle was visibly shocked when he heard Suhey's words. He was hit in the soft underbelly by this sentence.

He really wanted to unite through compromise.

But can compromise be exchanged for unity or contempt?

Carlisle didn't know.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Sushi said.

Carlisle accepted Suhey's lecture.

In addition to the Pacers, another relatively large league is the 'Squeezing out Suxi League'. Tracy Maddie, Davis, and Ben Wallace are core members, and Vince Carter is Maddie's cousin, and he is also somewhat close.

In addition, there are Jason Kidd, Pierce, and Martin, three camps that no one relies on and no one loves.

Iverson has a good relationship with Suhey, and Reed is even more so, and he is even half of Suhey's teacher. Suhi's left-handed shooting was learned from him at training camp in Chicago.

At night, Stamp Arena in Los Angeles is bustling with people. The camera swept over, and the sidelines were full of celebrities.

TNT's camera pays special attention to two of Suhi's rumored girlfriends, one is Jessica Alba, who claims to be Suhi's genuine girlfriend, who sits proudly on the sidelines in expensive furs. The other is Scarlett Johansson, who is wearing a slim-fitting cheongsam and shows off her perfect figure with oriental charm, while sitting next to her is Hillary Duff, an American sweetheart with a smile on her face.

In this way, she told the public that the scandal about her and Suhi was nonsense.

Otherwise, how could he be next to Scarlett Johansson, talking and laughing?

The gossip before the game has already caught the eye.

TNT then began live-streaming the All-Star players' appearances.

Starting with the East team's bench players, Ron Artest was the first to appear, and he stepped onto a small stage surrounded by a group of cheerleaders... The NBA is very ceremonial.

After Atay, Jason Kidd, Davis, Reed, Pierce, Martin, and Maddie came on one after another.

Then came the starters.

Allen Iverson was the first to appear, followed by Vince Carter, Ben Wallace, O'Neal Jr., and finally Suhey.

When Suhi came on the stage, the audience roared and screamed at the Staples Arena.

That's why he got the first vote in history.

He brought a lot of fans into the stadium who weren't supposed to watch the game.
